Episode 187 - Mulholland Mega Drive

After a short news segment on layoffs we could have had basically any week this year, Willa continues to explain why Control Resonant failed to resonate. Then Robin relives the worst parts of her barista days in Roman Sands RE:BUILD, and Willa contends with vampires and the even more monstrous generative AI use in Blood of a Dawnwalker.
