Any money made from Patreon will go back into the show to help make it better.

Ever played a Ys game, I hadn't until Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast asked me to play Ys. I completed it and I really enjoyed it. So much so I bought the remastered...remake on the switch earlier this year.
Let's dive into a big adventure whilst we none stop swing our sword around.
