Every Tuesday I boot up Flight Sim with a Twitter friend, and we cruise the open skies to discuss philosophy, spirituality, and whatever else strikes our fancy.

We wrap season 3 of PoTpFS not with a whimper, but with a BANG as both @myceliummage and @eggprophet join for a technologically ill-fated flight across... to be honest I don't even remember where, because the new version of MSFS crashed ingloriously and we spent a stupid amount of time on tech support. But armed with 4 big beers and two cozy friends, we ended up having a GREAT discussion of the cozy ethos, words vs vibes, why mage and egg look exactly like each other, religion, commune life, and far more salaciousness in our final, transcendent flight of the season.
