I thought I lost this interview with @seismicsquirrel.bsky.social from @officialpax.bsky.social west 2025. Audio issues made it unusable. Until now. Gaming in the Basement has expanded to Substack. Check out “From the Lost Files: From Ashes to Aether.” Link below ⬇️

It’s going to a busy weekend 👀 I’ve got King problems… and I’m solving them twice. Friday – No Escape (FT5) Saturday – NSFGC FINAL for the belt, title, & glory Lili vs King Same fight. Higher stakes. Let’s see who takes it 😈 Links below ⬇️

Tekken World Tour Finals 2025 – Malmö, Sweden - Day 1 Recap The TWT Finals are officially underway and Day 1 we saw strong performances on the group stage, with players like yOReDz (Kuwait), NOBI (Japan), and Hexmark (France) making serious noise early.

I know I’ve been quieter than usual. 2025 was difficult personally. Therapy was a lot and I wasn’t always able to stay visible and present. But you still showed up. Every stream, VOD, podcast listen, and check-in mattered more than you know.

Thank you for listening, supporting, and letting me share stories from the gaming, streaming, & indie dev world. Interviewing is something I truly love and I’m excited to keep growing and improving. I’m grateful you’re here. Here’s to the next season. #GamingPodcast #thankyou
