A Note from Jay

Hey all,

I promise that I'll update the website with the show notes for these episodes some day. Life has gotten super hectic recently.

But, on thing has happened: I now have an internet connection! Like, a proper, high-speed one, with a router that has blinky lights on it and everything.

Squidge, Alyxa, and Nomad (of the amazing Retro Wildlands) got together to discuss Metal Gear Solid 3. In this episode, they cover whether Dede is wearing and eye patch or not, whether Alyxa is sn...

A Note from Jay

Hey all,

So I now have four episode's worth of full show notes to create and add to the website. It's a good thing that I have a bot which detects all of the games mentioned, huh?

This is the second in a four -part discussion on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In order to tackle this game, Squidge drafted both Alyxa the Kitsune and Nomad. By the way, the original recordings for this four-part series have a combined runtime of over six hours.

Just like most...

A Note from Jay

Hey all,

Happy birthday to me... 🥹

So I've now been without an internet connection since the end of 2024... that's three months of tethering to my phone in order to do my day-to-day work, web-browsing, and ... well, that's about it. I haven't had the bandwidth to do any YouTube, Netflix, or gaming.

My issues to one side: this is the first in a four part discussion on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In order to tackle this game, Squidge drafted both Alyxa the Kitsune and Nomad.

Hey all,

Would you Adam and Eve-it, I still don't have an internet connection (I'm using up my mobile data at a rate of knots at the moment), and life is still... well, life is doing life things right now.

Anyway, this is the second half of the second set of episodes (why didn't I just write "part four"?) on what defined gaming in 2024 for our guests. The ever amazing Squidge continued to emcee this episode, asking both Nomad and G (aka #dontCallMyAudrey, aka The Lard of Dorkness) all...

A Note from Jay

Hey all,

So I should explain a few things. Firstly, this episode was supposed to go out in January 2025, but ... well... life happened and I wasn't able to focus on anything but me for a while. Secondly, I've been without an internet connection since before Christmas 2024; as you can imagine, this causes a few issues on the whole "releasing podcast episodes" side of things.

I still don't have an internet connection (I literally tethered to my phone and released this episode), or a lot of time to focus on...

A quick note from Squidge about what happened to our show during the summer of 2024. We apologise for the extended break (sometimes you just need a break from everything), but things will be back to normal very soon.

Background music: "Release" by HoobeZa

In this episode, Squidge and Matt Bliss delve into the world of indie gaming with their latest focus on 'Powerwash Simulator'. The game provides a unique simulation experience as players take on the role of a power washer cleaning various objects around their homes.

Amidst discussions about quirky speedruns, they touch upon unusual hashtags used in previous episodes like #SniperWolfOnlyFans (a particularly deep cut for all the long-time fans).

Matt also clarifies that he's not pressured into participating in the podcast but rather choosing to contribute voluntarily... but that's what we'd expect anyone to say...

Multiplayer babysitting, zero-g clown physics, cute animal discussion, goat yoga, and the many uses of food bribery; all this can only mean one thing: Mo is back to talk about Stardew Valley.
