What's your strangest wish for the games industry? If it could be done without loss of jobs and income- I sometime wish that we'd never get any new games again, just so we could spend our time playing, replaying and appreciating the varied games that already exist. Sometimes I think we have enough.
Seems like a pro-AI podcast, so unsurprisingly they side with bigots
Have three drinks instead
Impact Racing and Tank Racer. Plus I don't know if Motorhead is underrated because it gets justified flak for being too hard.
The Golden Girls, Dinosaurs, The Simpsons, Shenley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, Frasier, I'm Alan Partridge, The Addams Family
Shining Soul 2 and two of the Lord of the Rings GBA games are like compressed versions of Diablo

In response to the PSO vibes question, PSO Portable on the Psp? Same level of engagement, has a great patched translation and easy to emulate at higher res to up the Dreamcast factor
What's the best game that you ended up really disliking?
Poster for Otomo's film Memories. Specifically the segment Magnetic Rose. The image is an Astronaut's helmet filling with rose petals against a background of space
This month would've been complete if we'd gotten another Ninja Warriors, Yet Again

Subway trains are a form of mecha, right?
AVP (2004)
Zenny! I first remember it from Capcom's surreal arcade shooter Forgotten Worlds where it just seemed like the cherry on top of the random cultural pastiche that was '80s arcade games. Nine year old me wondered if "Zenny" was a friend of the programmers. Probably a fun guy at parties.
True
UK Guardian columnists?
I liked the themes and atmosphere. Even though the mechanics didn't always work smoothly, they made sense in the context of what the game was trying to do. It just really worked for me, but I realise that may be personal.
It was literally my game of 2024 so ymmv
Great example of a film being hilarious whilst also deadly serious
Glad that you've finally made your worldview clear with that statement. Maybe you could be a little more direct with your transphobia next time to make it obvious for everyone?
Meanwhile your case is: "supporting trans people politically is bad"
Your justification is:
"You're stupid."
The majority of trans people *are* working class, don't you understand? Immigration is a "divisive" issue to many but we know which side of it to stand on. What's the difference? It's clear that some minorities are disposable to you.
She's not going to like the "Earthy hues"
What's your favourite writing in a videogame? Could be great dialogue in a game with a bad plot or vice versa. Or maybe just cool barks.
@samuelwroberts.bsky.social taken out of context this episode, perfect for Pride month:
"Straights aren't that interesting"
A keyboard plugged into an atari 2600 games console
Does the Spectravideo Compumate count? I used it to learn BASIC but my first "proper" home computer was an Apple 2 clone, they were plentiful in Singapore in the '80s
What was wrong with their ads?
Today, it's a lot harder to erase history and existence. Our digital footprints are hard to wash out in entirety - even though the powers that be do still try - and our histories can't be burnt in a singular fire. They'll still try. But I have hope that we will have more of our existence endure now-
