Questions from Discord:

• brasop: Is Ubisoft in real actual trouble? We all know that many of their game titles have underperformed over the last few years, but if AC Shadows isn't a huge hit, do you think it could spell the end of Ubisoft, or at least in their current form?

• Campfire_knight: Okay, here's a fun one for y'all: Try to come up with a Pokemon name equivalent to an irl band. As an example: Modest Marill (in place of Modest Mouse), Mews (instead of Muse), etc.
