Happy New Year!
The ladies of the cottage settle into 2025 by chatting about some fascinating phenomena.
First, it's back to the 80's arcade scene with Nym for a look at the hottest new piece of blacksite engineered super-software: Polybius!
Then, we're veering away from the neons and diving into the natural as Nylene gives us the scoop on a handful of worldly events with a disctincly unworldly vibe.
