Fuck it, Bug Dimmadome

Happy to be back in the recording saddle today! Big thank you to @farleigh.bsky.social for filling in for me last episode. If you haven’t already, give it a listen. It’s the best one yet

Since we're recording tonight, we want to ask you... What's on your backlog? What have you been meaning to get around to, but other games (read: Silksong) have interfered?

Let us know so we can mention them tonight!

No one likes a Monday, but what could make it better is giving our little podcast a cheeky listen! Featuring the chillest vibes and some lovely nostalgic stories, it’s sure to make your Monday right.

We’ll also be recording a new episode tonight, and there are definitely some surprises in store! 👀

We started a podcast! Backlog Breakers has been a significant passion project for @noodlesource.fyi and I, nearly seven months in the making (really years).

Please give it a listen and let us know what you think.
There’s plenty more to come!

I miss Assassin’s Creed multiplayer

Soaking in an Epsom salt bath. Have the water be as hot as you can handle and stay in until it goes cold

Among Us 3D is genuinely fun

With game prices rising, creators can’t afford to chase every new release, hoping one finally pays off.

Hone your strategy. Prioritize games that fit your content, engage your audience, and offer repeat value.

Apology for the vent, but I hate that I just want to use social media to let people know about the cool stuff in my life and fun new projects I'm making with people I love, but it feels like a betrayal of the heinous shit that's really going on. I apologize in advance if I navigate that line poorly.

One thing I dislike about gamer reactions nowadays is if a game isn't in a genre they like, they'll just trash it from top to bottom.

I was hyped for The Duskbloods until I saw it was a MP only pseudo BR thing. Not for me but that doesn't mean it'll suck. Not every game has to be tailored to you.

Been trying like crazy to hit 20k subs on Youtube. If you are bored and have nothing else to do right this second, and have not done so already, I'd love it if you would. It's free! I get it if you don't wanna, but if you do, it's here: www.youtube.com/scottjohnson

Holy crap, Severance is my jam. Sad I waited so long to jump into it

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen.

We just want to make cool stuff for people.

Do it

It’s a play Marvel Rivals all day kind of Friday, right?

If you’re ever interested in finding a dedicated streamer, who really puts their all into this, look no further.

His community is welcoming and always excited to have new additions.

This may be biased because he’s one of my best friends but that doesn’t make it any less true.
