2025 was a crazy year, but one constant throughout all that was doing @playalong.bsky.social . 2025 saw new fans coming to the show, and I honestly cannot wait to see what 2026 brings for the podcast!
Thank you to anyone, past or present, who has listened. It honestly means the world to me

Surprisingly having an absolute blast with #NFSHeat. I haven't played a #NFS I've enjoyed for some years now. The game is beautiful, fun, and has a real simple photo mode!
Can't wait to see what others do when we kick off the next @playalong.bsky.social main series!

I'm watching Dragonball Z Kai as someone who barely remembers DBZ from my childhood, and all I think is that I'm watching Yamcha get cucked by Vegeta in real time

Man they really need to do something about people deliberately scoring own goals to end matches in Rematch. I get the mercy rule, but it's a really shit way to lose a match

Finally got round to playing #SunsetOverdrive recently and had an absolute blast with it. It's not anything groundbreaking but you can see where it drew inspiration from, and what it inspired.

@streamwithmeld.com thinking of kicking streaming back up and found out about y'all from Harris Heller. One question, any plans for supporting vertical scenes? The vertical scene with replay option was a game changer for OBS, and would love to see that in Meld

Is anyone really struggling to play Marvel Rivals on PC? I've adjusted my graphics settings, but that doesn't change anything. I've limited FPS to 100 but the game still dives down to 18FPS when loading heroes into practice range.

Just published my review of The Life of a Magical Circle: a game that is simple in design, and set against beautiful audio design, but is ultimately let down by a seemingly pompous narrator

This year I'm going to genuinely track the games I'm playing! And I've made a wee lil graphic to demonstrate it!
