Good morning everyone!!
I feel so good, I've been up two hours, cleaned the kitchen, tidied AND vacuumed the bedroom, cleared out crap that had been sitting for ages.
And finished that off with a steaming hot shower and a cup of tea :D
Now to carry on with infinite wealth for the rest of the morning

Side Quests & Save Points will now drop full episodes instead of parts - easier to enjoy and it frees us up for the next wave of content we’ve been cooking behind the scenes.

Season 1 wraps over the next few weeks.
The quest log’s about to get a lot more interesting.

💯 subs on YouTube!
This started as a fun little podcast side quest, and now it’s turned into something much bigger.
Thank you to everyone who's watched, shared, or just stuck around for the chaos and conversations.
More to come - appreciate you all 💾💙

Bit of a quiet one tonight, couch and console night!
Hopefully get the next few episodes edited over the coming few days and that will wrap season 1 of Side Quests and Save Points!
Got something else really exciting in the works!! Watch this space.

YouTube video by Chef Monkey 🎙️Side Quests & Save Points💾 ft. ‪Javier Prusky - Episode 8 Part 1

🎧 New pod episode is out!
Voice actor @javierprusky.bsky.social joins me to talk Bakool Ja Ja from FFXIV, audition chaos, anti-hero arcs, Fallout 76, Kingdom Hearts, and why he'd love to be hilariously disemboweled in a horror game.

It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and full of laughs.

Frustrated once again with MORE technical issues on the podcast!
This is becoming very repetitive and causing serious issues in producing content!!
So many issues with the episode I recorded with
@javierprusky.bsky.social with help only coming when I call out @riversidefm.bsky.social publicly!!!!!!!

Good luck!!

Good news! the audio issues affecting our files have been resolved!
We will be releasing our episode of Side Quests and Save Points with @javierprusky.bsky.social next Monday!
Watch this space =D

Dusting off the PS2 and diving into something special tonight:
🔹 Dark Cloud, on original hardware
🔹 Baseline speedrun attempt (with plenty of chaos)

First stream in a long while, so if you’ve ever rebuilt a village or yelled at a Georama limit, you’ll feel right at home.

Unfortunately due to technical complications with the recording this weeks podcast is going to be released next week to give us some more time to work through the issues with riverside.fm!
Instead there will be bonus shorts and clips released throughout the week!

Trying to shake up my feed a bit. Looking for more creators who live and breathe RPGs.
Whether you're into turn-based classics, MMO chaos, or weird one-offs, drop a recommendation for me to try and say hi!

YouTube video by Chef Monkey How Alabaster Dawn Fixes Item Hoarding in RPGs (Genius Cooking System)

🎥New Video Up NOW!
I sat down with @radicalfishgames.com to talk about one of the best RPG mechanics I’ve seen in years!
a cooking/buff system that only rewards players when they use the buffs.

No more item hoarding. Just good design that encourages real-time decision-making.

YouTube video by Chef Monkey 🎙️Side Quests & Save Points💾 ft. @broodoo01 - Episode 7 Part 1

🎙️New episode of Side Quests & Save Points just dropped!

To celebrate 25 years of FFIX, I sat down with @thebroodles.bsky.social, world record speed runner to talk about why FFIX is still a masterpiece.

Tetra Master? Nobles minigame? Ozma?
We talk about everything.
📺 Watch now: youtu.be/iJ0ueL2oAGk

Some said it couldn’t be done.
Many had fallen. Many had tried.
But I, a humble gamer, have finally finished a game in my backlog
Was it emotional? Yes.
Was the backlog watching silently, already preparing the next boss fight? Absolutely.
But for now, I stand victorious.

🎙️ Getting real tired of Riverside. FM changing wisely used features each update - plus the inconsistent recording quality is wearing thin.

Thinking of jumping ship to Descript.
Anyone using it? Would love to hear your thoughts - DMs open or drop a reply.

Oh it's not harder gameplay wise, my processor can't handle it 🤣 everything else is way above requirements. 👀 Did you pick a game yet though

What platform do you play on? 👀 Oblivion is harder on my PC than was expected I had to resort to console.

🧙‍♂️ Calling All RPG & MMO Streamers 🎮

I'm on the hunt for JRPG, RPG, and MMO streamers to watch and maybe raid into.
⚠️Warning⚠️ I come bearing exactly 1 (one) viewer! But hey a raids a raid 🍻
