FOUND IT. It genuinely was the toddler.

It wouldn’t be a “everyone has colds and feels a bit rubbish, so let’s have a family puzzle day” if we didn’t only have 499 pieces in a 500 piece puzzle. We (@farleigh.bsky.social) blame the kids.

Oh this is absolutely stunning. 🪽 🏰 🪽

✨ It’s Friday, we made it! ✨ Why not kick off the weekend early with a relaxing podcast in your ears? Thank us later!

TODAY IS THE DAY. OH BOY. 🎉

Had the pleasure of reviewing this for @steamdeckhq.com and MY GOD this game is good. I can’t recommend it enough.

I’m really pleased with the flow of this new episode; the new format is already proving its worth! Please give it a listen, it would mean a lot to me ❤️

@buffer.com I’m trying to change my plan to add another channel but I get this instead, despite me having signed up via iPhone. Any ideas?

I never got into Palworld as much as others, but this is definitely something for me. It looks genuinely impressive; I love the intense depth of field throughout.

How your email has found me today…

I only played the first few levels of Kirby and the Forgotten Land when it first got released, so I’ve started playing the Nintendo Switch 2 edition and my god, it’s fantastic. Really enjoying it this time around. Looking forward to jumping into the Star-Crossed World stuff, too.

Really appreciate this video by @pooglesgames.bsky.social, making me reflect on how I play games and my frankly ridiculous quest of trying to keep up and move on to the next thing as quickly as possible. Definitely worth a watch, and definitely something to consider.

Our Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds review has been updated with #SteamDeck performance and optimized settings! The game absolutely deserves the playable badge, and can be played at almost max settings at 60 FPS: steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews...

🚀🚀EXCITING NEWS!!🚀🚀 After four years of development, Little Rocket Lab finally launches on October 7! Build brilliant factories and forge lifelong friendships Coming to Steam and Xbox / PC Game Pass RTs super appreciated❤️ littlerocketlab.com

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has an arcadey charm to it with some great features and a ton of chaotic fun. However, the items tend to ruin the fun all throughout. The Steam Deck Performance section is coming soon. A copy was provided by SEGA for review. steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews...

After a teenie tiny delay… Episode #7 is now live! 🎙️ We dive into Borderlands 4 launching with its fair share of technical hiccups, talk about the bigger picture of games releasing in similar states, and share our thoughts on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! Listen below: 🔗 Spotify 🔗 Apple 🔗 Discord

My review of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is now live, and it's been an intriguing 30 minutes or so reading other reviews, only to discover I’m in the minority with how I felt about it all. Still, I’m genuinely pleased for those who enjoyed it more than I did, and I truly hope it does well! 🦔🏎️

Oh fuck, just one week to go until Hades 2! I'm SO ready for this beaut. I can finally let myself get obsessed with it, having tried not to play too much during early access.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Wondering where Episode #7 is? 👀 Don’t worry - we only pushed it back a day so we could cover Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! The episode drops tomorrow! 🦔🏎️ While you wait, come hang out in our Discord? It’s pretty damn shiny and full of cool people! 🔗 Discord

Imagine if I had done a DualShockers and released this early...

My family and I really need your help. At the moment, we don't have enough money to survive October. It has taken a lot of swallowed pride to post this. gofund.me/859e98714

Would genuinely love to know the technical side of this, if anyone knows anything! I'm considering discussing it on @backlogbreakers.com tonight, so I'd love to be able to do so from a knowledgeable front.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

I clearly don't understand the technical side of this, so apologies, but it's crazy to me that games are launching without cross-progression nowadays. With Elden Ring Nightreign keeping shtum on it, Rematch confirming they're not looking into it, and Marvel Rivals not having it nearly a year on... 🤷

👀

Good Morning! ☀️

Lots of exciting updates today, with Episode #6 now live being foremost among them! Make sure to listen below, on: Spotify Apple Podcasts Also... our Discord server is now open to everyone! Come and join us in our little corner of the internet? discord.backlogbreakers.com

Hollow Knight: Silksong talk? ✅ Me looking for help in quitting Destiny 2? ✅ Talk about Fortnite being a convoluted mess? ✅ Lifetime chocolate giveaway? ❌ New Discord server? ✅, ✅, and ✅

Typically, a day after recording this week's episode of @backlogbreakers.com where I ask for help in quitting Destiny 2 (FOMO brings me back every. single. time), Bungie went and released this beaut. I wasn't initially excited about the Destiny 2 x Star Wars concept, but I've come around...

Since we're recording tonight, we want to ask you... What's on your backlog? What have you been meaning to get around to, but other games (read: Silksong) have interfered? Let us know so we can mention them tonight!

With just under 6 hours to go until Silksong is released, I have FINALLY completed Hollow Knight, currently with 105% completion. I've still got time to get the last 7% before launch, right?

Here's a quick rundown of a few of the events that took place on this particular episode of my gaming-focused podcast: 1. I confuse Clare Balding with Fiona Bruce. 2. @farleigh.bsky.social is Robert De Niro. 3. I get threatened by a giant spider. Have a listen? It should all make sense after... 🤔

Recording an episode of @backlogbreakers.com and having @farleigh.bsky.social in as a guest went really well...

i saw someone point out that the selector for time on iphone alarms is actually just a really long list and not truly circular. everything i’ve known is a lie

It’s the 31st of August, and my local Morrisons has already got Christmas chocolate and displays out. I LOVE IT. Suck it, Halloween. Morrisons knows what’s important.

Today is not only sponsored, but outright powered by the absolute belter that is Sleep Token's Gethsemane. It's just incredible. And the drums at 1:15? *chef’s kiss*

Guten Tag und willkommen zurück! Episode #4 is here! This week, we discuss our personal highlights of Gamescom, Hollow Knight: Silksong *finally* getting a release date, and playing Jackbox with the family. Also, somehow, 2006's Click...? Listen below, on: Spotify Apple Podcasts Amazon Music

AI search and scraping are starting to affect us, so we are making some changes to combat this. One of these is overhauling Patreon, so we have a question. What kind of content would you like to see that would make a $3 or $5 subscription worthwhile? www.patreon.com/c/SDHQ

Had to ensure that @farleigh.bsky.social's perceived summary of my supposed favourite genre, specifically "pretty boys with big swords", made it into this week's episode. The worst part is, I don't think she's wrong.

Travis Kelce originally planned to propose next week, but moved it forward to avoid the Silksong release window.

Now the dust has settled its time for a little announcement
