			<description><![CDATA[<h3><strong><em>CW: Animal abuse, child abuse, misogyny, mentions of sexual violence</em></strong></h3><p>(Skip this one if you need to, slomies. The whole episode is shot through with discussions about these topics because that's just where the game goes. We love you, prioritize your mental health.)</p><br><p>Bugs and Bird sink back into Rapture for the back half of 2007's Bioshock. We talk about the game's big ol' honkin' plot twist, the horrible things that happen in Rapture (blame capitalism), the way the game loses steam after its big reveal, Bird's personal grievances with late 2000s binary choices in video games, Bugs's love of the audio diaries, more stim-and-response goodness, and the way we'd alter the game's ending.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The inaugural episode of<strong> Slomecast</strong>, our media analysis podcast about the stuff we slome with. In this first episode of a three part series on 2022's Adult Swim surprise hit Smiling Friends, we chat about how Smiling Friends shows its big heart when it counts while also being absolutely hilarious, whether cancel culture exists (it doesn't), and talk about small details that lesser shows would overlook. I also try Foster's for the first time (it's terrible) and my dog whines throughout the first half (she's just anxious).</p><br><p>Our opener for this series of episodes was OMA's cover of MF DOOM's "Doomsday", available at <a href="https://omauk.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://omauk.bandcamp.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
