RPGrinders EP 845 - Return to the Wasteland

Twenty Twenty-Six has only been with us for a month but it has already worn out it's welcome! Military in our streets, internment camps in our cities, an environment that is clearly reaching a tipping point, and a corrupt government run by pedophiles and their protectors. As we watch as our freedoms and rights disappear, take comfort in the fact that the Grinders are still here to spread cheer. It isn't much but we are all in this together. We all have to oppose fascism in our own ways, and deal with our own personal stresses. A gaming podcast may not be much, but we can help spread the truth and distract the mind from the horrors of reality. Even as our country is fighting for it's life the gaming industry is still thriving. When the weather starts to improve (hopefully) we will see the protests grow to sizes that force change! Strikes, boycotts, and whatever it takes to bring Freedom for All to every person living in this country. A long list of news stories as the number of 2026 releases grows. For the Spring, look forward to the releases of Utawarerumono: Past & Present Rediscovered and Dosa Divas. The Summertime also has a couple of new releases, in Another Eden Begins and Kyoto Xanadu. With everything going on in America, the Stinkos are growing at an alarming rate. Soon they will need their own show. We are surrounded by so many horrors that it has become impossible for anyone to keep up. America has a corrupt government that is directly responsible for the deaths of millions. A wannabe dictator is changing the rules while no one seems willing to challenge him. The Epstein files continue to be blocked from proper release; the FBI even attempted to hurt the victims. On top of all that, the Grinders say goodbye to an icon. RIP Catherine O'Hare. After a January that temporarily derailed the show, the Driver's Seat is back to start us off right. Eric want's to know, what are some bad habits you see from gamers you wish they’d get over? The Grinders give you ours. Send us feedback and let us know yours! A special shout out to everyone brave enough to fight fascism and doubly for those fighting it in the bitter cold weather! Jack Frost, puppy killers, and White Supremacists won't stop the spirit of the American people! We sure as hell won't submit to people who abuse children! Join us next week as we dream about Spring and a world without oppression. We love living in a country with such a large diversity of people. We can't let them take away what makes us great, each other. (Sorry, if this seems disjointed but I didn't want to do my usual spin. The shit that is happening in America is far too important for my silliness.) I feel like I should still say something smartass... You know who isn't in the Epstein files? US!
