Intro

🎉 Officially adding screenshots, gifs, and videos to our episodes! Starting today, I am including visual elements from the updates and news we discuss on this show so you have a better idea of what we are referring to without having to consult the show notes. This took me all day to edit as it's the first time I have attempted to include all this in a show, and on top of that it is a massive episode, so I am releasing it a bit later than usual. As I continue improving my editing, my production time will decrease and I will be able to get these out earlier again. The final file is just shy of 30Gb, I hope you enjoy it! - Jesse
