Mouthwashing 👁 October 2025 | Geeks & Grounds Podcast
We're stuck on the doomed ship Tulpar for the month of October, along with Anya, Swansea, Daisuke, Jimmy, and Curly. Fortunately, Milady Confetti is also here to chat about the game with us, bringing her medical AND media knowledge to the table to really dig into the game's themes! What did we think? It definitely hurt (complimentary). ***Edit: Had to remove the intro/outro music due to platform restrictions, so apologies for the silence on the start and end of this one!00:00 Welcome To Geeks & Grounds 2:15 The Pastry Case: Meet Confetti, Steam NextFest, and more!47:08 This Month's Brew: Mouthwashing2:38:18 Community Discussion Questions2:57:50 See you in November for Final Fantasy X (Part 01)Find Geeks & Grounds at: https://www.geeksandgrounds.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/geeksandgrounds.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/geeksandgroundsFind Milady Confetti at:https://www.youtube.com/c/MiladyConfettihttps://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/?hl=enhttps://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfettihttps://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti?lang=en
