The second episode of Spawnpoint is here, with your gaming parents, Keza and Patrick, returning for another monthly chat. This time, Patrick’s daughter discovers (begrudgingly) how a demo works, and Keza puzzles over people worrying about her son’s Pokémon obsession. We also discuss the concept of boundaries in a world where it’s increasingly possible for parents to digitally snoop on their children, wonder whether our collective obsession with Balatro is a problem, and answer your questions. We also have timestamps for the podcast now!
