A Note from Jay Hey all, So I should explain a few things. Firstly, this episode was supposed to go out in January 2025, but ... well... life happened and I wasn't able to focus on anything but me for a while. Secondly, I've been without an internet connection since before Christmas 2024; as you can imagine, this causes a few issues on the whole "releasing podcast episodes" side of things. I still...
