In the first of a recurring feature, I'm covering a game I was asked to play by a patron, the lovely @jeanlucpeakhard asked me to play Shin Megami Tensei IV! It was a pleasure and it gave me a good chance to think about apocalypse, sociality after society, and what exactly is so difficult about the SMT appeal for an American audience. Thanks again to @jeanlucpeakhard for the suggestion, and I encourage any and all of you to pledge at patreon.com/nocartridge and throw me some more ideas. Obviously a big backlog too, so look for more!
