Discussion
This week, Nemesis and Alca7raz do something a bit different. We’re in the middle of con season, right? So they decide to talk about making your convention experience the best it can be. So they devote this episode to tips about budgeting, planning, etiquette, and more! But they left a few thing out, so here they are:
- Drink lots of water. You’ll need it. Conventions sometimes have water stations, so take advantage of those.
- Cosplayers are there for their own enjoyment, not yours. Ask before taking a picture (or other things), and don’t get mad if they say no.
After that, they also have the finale to the “Reflections” arc to talk about, so they briefly discuss issue #20 of the comic series. Just what did each of them think of it? Was it a satisfactory conclusion or not?
