Pokopia Burnout - How We Crashed On A Cozy Game In Less Than One Month

***Please Note - This episode was recorded on 6/7/26 before the Nintendo Direct on 6/9/26 was announced or aired. We are aware that there is now a DLC Expansion Pass with 3 New Towns that has been announced, with the first potentially to come with the patch scheduled for August 2026.*** In today’s episode, Ezra and Chelsea discuss their unintentional burnout on Pokopia after only a month or so of play. They talk about the good things of the game, but how it needs to be played intentionally and not for speed, to really get the most out of the experience. They talk about other games that have similar hours invested with and without burnout, and compare the experiences and what made those experiences different.     Connect with Ezra & Chelsea: Website: https://bonus-action.com [https://bonus-action.com]   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ba-original.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/ba-original.bsky.social]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BonusActionVideo [https://www.youtube.com/@BonusActionVideo]  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BonusActionCommunity [https://www.patreon.com/BonusActionCommunity]  Ezra’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lauragrayholt1.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/lauragrayholt1.bsky.social] Chelsea’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chelseasturkie.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/chelseasturkie.bsky.social]  Ezra’s Email: laura.grayholt@gmail.com [laura.grayholt@gmail.com]  Chelsea’s Email: chelseataylorsturkie@gmail.com  [chelseataylorsturkie@gmail.com]
