This week, Gerry and Aaron sit down with Jamie - better known as her internet handle, Kitrinx, to talk all about the MiSTer FPGA Project. Jamie has developed and contributed to several cores on MiSTer, and we take a deep dive into what its like to develop cores, manage and create the MiSTer Discord, and of course relive some video game memories.

Also, if you can - please send pictures of the ocean to us, so that we can show Aaron what it looks like.
