Listen "436: Trash the Planet"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Laura and Nate dive into Trash the Planet, a free, browser-based resource-management game that subverts clicker mechanics to serve its narrative. You play as a group of raccoons who start out collecting trash and, through a rapid evolution of society, end up ruling the planet—manipulating the stock market with absolutely no consequences.
Stick around for the return of What’s Making Us Happy This Week.
