The new podcast from me & @ramiismail.com
Listen to two old men from the video game industry ask the real questions, like "why am I so tired all of the time", and "who the heck are Ant and Dec?"

And I love how when it's wrong it's not wrong like a random person on the internet is wrong. It's like "yes gasoline is a great substitute for butter when making cookies!" levels of wrong.
02.12.2025 23:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I guess some part of us wants bad games to be the result of ethical deficiency. We want to somehow tie bad products to bad people. It's upsetting to play something we didn't like, especially when we had high hopes for it. Maybe it's an uncomfortable idea that good people can try hard and still miss?
02.12.2025 22:53 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I wish people wouldn't use moralized language in games criticism. People like to use words like "lazy" or "stupid", not just to crit the work but to sate some desire to crit the character of its author(s). Not sure why something in us wants this. But it seems to be human nature.

25.11.2025 23:50 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I had a great time speaking with one of my favorite gamedev YouTubers Jonas Tyroller in this nearly 3 hour interview! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K9u...
25.11.2025 22:08 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0oh absolutely! Having a streamer friendly game is definitely a viable path. That method can attract lots of content creators. But lots of indies have this idea that if just one big streamer played their game the magical dam would break and they'd blast off.
19.11.2025 22:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0One of the biggest myths in gamedev is the idea that a single big content creator can open the floodgates on an undiscovered title. Streamers are subject to the same forces of interest as players. And when they do cover something, it doesn't move the needle as much as the layman thinks it does.
19.11.2025 21:01 โ ๐ 15 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I genuinely think not much. Imo Steam's algorithm is pretty good at unearthing stuff and there's enough people rolling through on the hunt to help with that. It makes the market quite rational. I imagine table top has a lot of other bottlenecks in the way that makes the market less rational.
