Luke and Michael are back for Season 5 of LTN Pulse, and there is a lot of summer nerd culture to catch up on. They talk about getting hooked on Dungeon Crawler Carl, whether Project Hail Mary lived up to the hype, falling unexpectedly deep into the World Cup, and why The Pitt stands out from other medical dramas. They also share what they have been playing—including Overwatch, Rebirth, Sky Team, Slay the Spire 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Marathon—before previewing Gen Con, monthly Love Thy Nerd game nights, an upcoming Game Boy Advance mod project, PAX Unplugged, community brackets, and ways to get involved with Love Thy Nerd.
