Microsoft is reportedly close to closing a deal to buy Discord. Would this be good news for gamers, and the general public — or just bad news bears? We discuss the implications of this purchase, compared to something like Skype and what it could achieve for a cross-system party play, communication, and community building.

Dylan talks about popping his Monster Hunter cherry this episode as he’s been playing the latest entry in the franchise, Monster Hunter Rise. He’s also been playing Crash Bandicoot’s latest adventure, which is on mobile.

Both Dylan and Ashley also discuss Gotham Knights delay, Xbox Live dying, a bunch of ID@Xbox Games and how Peter Dutton is sucking-ass on a daily.
