Like you, I find the period between Christmas and New Year to be a surreal vacuum where time ceases to exist. Here's some visual entertainment I've enjoyed this year that you might too, that might even help you to navigate these endlessly weird hours. 🧵

A preview of episode 033 of Dialogue Tree, in which @supergroovy.net from @videodojo.games shared his reflections on the beautiful melancholy of Animal Crossing: Wild World. Listen to the full episode for more, including a great bit from Dom about the bittersweet dialogue in the game. LINKS ⬇️

Boxing Day blues? Episode 033 of Dialogue Tree might help. Here’s a trailer. Starring memories, sound and: @margot-plays.bsky.social @rupertcole.bsky.social @kinmoku.bsky.social @supergroovy.net @onefroggames.bsky.social @alphachromeyayo.com @honeyboy.glassjury.com LISTEN ⬇️

Christmas happened. It was soundtracked by this collection of bangers.

I loved Dom’s contribution. It’s thoughtful and funny, and just very well “put together”. Dom is good radio. Also, based on our shared love of a particular niche piece of software that we talked about in episode 012, it was a good excuse to bust out the DS for the score. 🐟🎶

The Christmas special of Dialogue Tree, starring: @margot-plays.bsky.social @rupertcole.bsky.social @kinmoku.bsky.social @supergroovy.net @onefroggames.bsky.social @alphachromeyayo.com @honeyboy.glassjury.com plus John Blackshaw, and my friend, and yours, Sean. Also, memories, and sound.

A Christmas special. For episode 033 of Dialogue Tree, I invited past guests for their favourite gaming Christmas memories. This is the result. Recollections. Reflections. Something to soundtrack your holidays, wherever you are. LINKS ⬇️

Great channel makes great video that does a rare thing in the whole HORSES debate: a) states the game shouldn’t be banned and defends its right to exist b) doesn’t pretend that Valve is a book burning fascist sect c) calls the dev to task for their evasive language AND

This was a Sunday ass Tuesday

Need some alternative Christmas bangers? @alphachromeyayo.com has you covered, with a wild choice straight out the strangest corners of 80's culture, all the way to some modern Japanese classics. Hear all about them on episode 032 of Dialogue Tree. LISTEN ⬇️

Suika Game Planet released in Japan, but not Europe, and we just sat back and let it happen

@kinmoku.bsky.social Just listened to the Back Page alternative game awards, with guest GOTY picks. Quite liked yours. Great minds, etc. 🙂

A preview of episode 032 of Dialogue Tree, featuring @alphachromeyayo.com on the unexpected moment that sparked his interest in Japanese culture, and how he pays respect to the artists that influence him. LISTEN ⬇️

On the first day of the holidays, My true love gave to me, A child puking at half past three

Hey, this sounds familiar. I communicated my concept (not even a sketch, because I can't even do that) to a real human artist. They said "cool". So I sent them money. Support artists. The show art for Dialogue Tree was designed by @pixelbenny.bsky.social.

An amazing bundle of Dialogue Tree favourites: Öoo, from episode 025: www.dialoguetree.cc/episodes/025... MainFrames, from episode 031: www.dialoguetree.cc/episodes/031... Öoo x MaimFrames is a real tantalising game dev prospect 👀

Point and laugh and be horrified

“I bounced off it because I don’t like Mario RPG” And with that (paraphrased) line from the latest episode of The Besties, any fomo I had over not playing Clair Obscur was killed in a hail of spit take gun fire. Good to cross one off the eternal backlog 👍

The games of past Dialogue Tree guest @kinmoku.bsky.social are on a crazy sale. Videoverse is under £10/$10 and One Night Stand is under £1/$1! Skill yourself up in Lucy’s work before she launches her next project, which she described to me as having her “best animation yet”.

I looooved chatting on this banger of a podcast, check it out! 💖 We went deep on a lot of stuff dear to my heart, from chasing dreams to Christmas parties.

The scandalous, the sincere. The profane, the profound. A game of dualities, inspiring and inspired, and a soundtrack to match. A trailer for episode 032 of Dialogue Tree, in which @alphachromeyayo.com talks me through his incredible soundtrack to @kaizengameworks.com's Promise Mascot Agency. ⬇️

This episode is a lot. There's a lot of words, some funny ideas and it spins off in a few odd directions, but it's all intended in the silly and sincere spirit of the game that inspired it.

I loooooved this chat! Like, it's always an honour to talk about what I do, but this was an extra lovely one, on a banger of a podcast 💖 Tune in to hear us get deep on life, love, mascots, hot jazz clubs, chasing dreams, life-changing games, bizarre Christmas music and SO MUCH MORE!

Promises made, promises kept. In episode 032 of Dialogue Tree, I return to Kaso Machi, but this time, I'm accompanied by @alphachromeyayo.com, to talk all about his inspired and inspirational soundtrack to my favourite game of the year, Promise Mascot Agency. Links ⬇️

Remember today. ARC Raiders, then this. The first of the thousand cuts.

On this episode: - a dunk on Metroid Prime (1, not 4) - praise for Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - the claim that Yoshi’s Island is better than any Donkey Kong Country game This podcast is my spirit animal.

VIDEOVERSE got 32/40 in Weekly Famitsu and entered the Famitsu Gold Hall of Fame! 🥳🥇 A huge thanks to everyone who helped on the Japanese localisation – This one is for you! 😄

I did a Film degree, so I know how to spell Fellini and what’s in the McCallister VHS collection besides Angels With Filthy Souls.

Hey look! It’s Andrea Blythe! Andrea worked on the narrative for Monochrome Heights, the featured game of episode 031 of Dialogue Tree. Patrick from @onefroggames.bsky.social shouts Andrea out the show, so it feels polite to do the same here.

Monochrome Heights is featured on the latest episode of Dialogue Tree, which is a wonderful podcast about video games you should check out!

A second great appearance on this show by past Dialogue Tree guest @kinmoku.bsky.social. Great picks and chat, even if I had to skip about 15 minutes for spoilers because I’ve recently become aggressively Yakuza pilled.

Highly agreeable Silksong takes (2/2)

This and Dadish 4 release on the same day, confirming that 2025 is unequivocally the best year in the history of gaming.

Jump. Phase. Roll away. Look away. A trailer for episode 031 of Dialogue Tree, on the hidden gems of 2025, starring: - Mainframes by @assoupi.com - AXYZ by @lithiumproject.bsky.social - and a chat with @onefroggames.bsky.social about their Celeste-ian platformer, Monochrome Heights. LISTEN ⬇️

NEW EPISODE A longer break than usual, but that's December. I had a great time playing the games covered in this episode, and an even better time learning about the ups and downs of indie development from @pdyx.bsky.social (aka @onefroggames.bsky.social).

Triple threat. No ceremony, no worries. 3 great games, and a conversation with the person that made my favourite 1 of them. This week, it's the hidden gems of 2025, and @onefroggames.bsky.social, on Monochrome Heights. Episode 031 of Dialogue Tree, available now wherever you get podcasts. Links ⬇️

Is this a normal amount of time to spend listening to podcasts over a 12 month period? Asking for a friend* *your friend, who is me

How MP4 has presented on my timelines: - Hyperbolic but suspiciously non specific positive professional reviews. - Mildly positive fan feedback that sounds oddly apologetic. - A brutal, laser focused Skill Up review that called it out for everything I didn’t enjoy about Prime Remastered.
