Published: Jan. 21, 2019, 12:35 p.m.

Holy shit, this one was too fun and too long... It's episode 50!!! And with me to celebrate are Kyle Nolla, Alex Cohen, and Eric Schulkin. We talk about an awesome Twitch charity for a trans support org, the fucking Gillete ad, the infuriating lack of gamecube games/virtual console on the Switch, and for our main topic we talk A LOT about Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. In our Smash conversation Kyle tells us about how Nintendo is interacting with the Smash Brothers grassroots scene, her PhD research (in which she studies Smash Bros. play), as well as her direct experiences with sexism as a researcher and commentator. We also talk about how awesome the game is, like a lot. 00:03:37 - Gilette Ad 00:09:19 - HBomberguy Donkey Kong 64 Charity Stream for Mermaids Trans Support Org Sidenote: FUCKING ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ WAS ON THE VOICE CHAT IN THE STREAM 00:12:27 - Smash AI Difficulty 00:18:53 - Smash Bros.Community & Nintendo 00:30:38 - World of Light Playthru 00:36:41 - Kyle's PhD Smash Research 00:45:47 - Nintendo Online & Virtual Console 01:02:48 - Alex Gushes Over "God of War" 01:12:28 - Sexism in Smash Brothers 01:26:44 - RUMOR MILL Kyle is at @drpiggyphd Alex is at @theidealist Eric is at @Binge_Watch Reach out to the podcast at: Reddit - /r/Techquila Twitter - @TechquilaCast Patreon - Techquila Email - techquilapodcast@gmail.com
