Episode description
On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
Cyan recently released their new VR game, Firmament, and it was met with less than stellar reviews compared to their previous efforts. It has now come out that they used AI-assistance to develop the game. How far did that assistance go? Did voice actors get credit for their work? What role should AI even play in art moving forward? Also, did you see this stupid expanded Abbey Road album cover!?

And yes, we even look at what a bar in D&D should cost.
