Mike and I got a crash course in Magic the Gathering, MTG Arena, and the Final Fantasy collab last weekend at SGF and @johncarson.bsky.social hung out to help us open our first two packs of MTG x Final Fantasy.

Easily the best moment of Summer Game Fest 2025.

It’s almost podcast o’clock see you soon Twitch.tv/passcontroller

Folks, it's time for *that*. You know, the part where we ask for money. We've shown you we can do the work, but if we want to keep doing the work, we need some support. Help us prove there's an audience for good writing, and better writing about games and other media. Here's the pitch:

here we go 🫣

the site doesn't have the same sway as what people consider an independent outlet nowadays, but I've been running it since 2018 and i get pitches from new writers regularly. i'd love to continue giving them a home. there's a patreon if you want to support them! www.patreon.com/c/intothespine

It’s been a hell of a few days—thank you again. Keep wishlisting and spreading the word this weekend. You’re seriously making a difference for these indie devs. Before we (kinda) log off for the weekend, we wanted to gently toss our Patreon link out there for any new folks following. Quick thread!

It's not right that I keep finding more PAX East coverage with more games to watch. This list from @begroom.bsky.social at @passthecontroller.bsky.social added @cybrlich.bsky.social to my wishlist. I love when modern boomer shooters layer insane art over classic gameplay!

Sea of Stars latest free DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker, is finally here! See what @begroom.bsky.social had to say about it: passthecontroller.io/2025/05/20/r...
