@castoffcrown.bsky.social

Great ep of @fgcast.com as usual. This one hit different as it's almost exclusively about #MultiVersus, i.e. the first FG wasn't certifiably Terrible at.

Even if you never played MVS, both @sharpiepls.com and @sakisakuratv.info are on point re the wider ramifications.

Tldr- Support co-operatives!
