"Cozy" games are the Live, Laugh, Love signs in a Pottery Barn of the industry

ICYMI I’m back on @mainquest.bsky.social this week! This time I’m chatting with Keith as well as Chris from @anovelconsole.bsky.social about Super Metroid. Go give it a listen! spotify.link/3yUs9Pm2NXb

I'm teaming up with @anovelconsole.bsky.social and @consolesandstuff.bsky.social to giveaway a couple of Nintendo games! Treat yo'self!

Big congrats to Matt & Geoff on the big 200!

People still use this stuff so maybe I should promote the two episodes that came out Bart's Nightmare hit the main feed last Monday. And there's a new exclusive over on Patreon. I'm talking about ghost hunting. That's it.

People will see a 15 second video of a dog boxing Mike Tyson and be like "OH MAN WE'RE COOKED, AI IS TOO REAL!" You're calling yourself out if you think a dog can take Tyson

I'm sure there's one thing Silent Hill fans and I will agree on: Silent Hill f doesn't have enough locked doors.
