We wrap season 3 of PoTpFS not with a whimper, but with a BANG as both @myceliummage and @eggprophet join for a technologically ill-fated flight across... to be honest I don't even remember where, because the new version of MSFS crashed ingloriously and we spent a stupid amount of time on tech support. But armed with 4 big beers and two cozy friends, we ended up having a GREAT discussion of the cozy ethos, words vs vibes, why mage and egg look exactly like each other, religion, commune life, and far more salaciousness in our final, transcendent flight of the season. <3 YouTube version: https://youtu.be/MJQCzqiKVmA ====================================== Follow Mage: http://twitter.com/myceliummage Mage on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSsOTe99bW7GH0i6bb8U23A Follow Egg: http://twitter.com/eggprophet Talk show: http://twitch.tv/mcurzi Newsletter: http://michaelcurzi.substack.com

We try the modded WWII Spitfire plane, and then dive into the history of flight sims, Lithros' intro on Twitter, the nature of the divine, and far more. (The last 2 hours are more or less us nerding out extremely hard about videogames.)
