What makes a game "stick" for you? And what happens when a game has every ingredient you love and you're still not feeling it? Colette & Matt share email from a new listener, discuss why challenge is both motivating and off-putting, and why personal headspace is a key ingredient in whether or not a game becomes an obsession. Also: Should you buy a Nintendo DS in 2021, quitting Hollow Knight, cross-cultural humor, and Colette is fully vaxxed!

What we're playing:

Rhythm Doctor, the perfect homage to / fresh take on Rhythm Heaven!Star Wars: Squadrons, competitive, emergent gameplay + pew-pew!
