Angeline Era | So Many Games
Travel a vast country's unmarked overworld in search of the next challenging fight, humorous encounter, or mysterious landscape.

i reviewed Angeline Era from Analgesic Productions ( @hantani.bsky.social & @even-kei.bsky.social ); it continues their incredible streak of making the most thought-provoking games i've ever played, this time in their most mechanics-heavy work that deftly twists its themes and gameplay together

give it up for two of the best to ever do it; Upgrade Terminal is my ideal of what a podcast can and should be and i'm gonna miss it
This marks the end of Upgrade Terminal for the foreseeable future. It has been a lot of fun to make this show with Nick and I’m very proud of it!
If you or anyone you know likes Star of Providence, check it out! There is a lot of heart and soul in this podcast 💛

We've arrived at the Season 2 Finale of Upgrade Terminal, the Star of Providence fan-cast that I co-host with @echofar.bsky.social.
For this special episode, we got ALL FOUR members of Team D-13 to talk about their experience, works, and memories of Fraxy and its community.

this is one of the best episodes of the show we've ever done, probably because we got to talk about the latest game from Analgesic Productions
i also originally thought it'd be cool to surprise drop this on christmas not realizing that basically every podcast in the world had the same idea lol

repost for the night crew before i go to sleep
i wrote up my top 12 games of 2025, plus some honorable mentions, if you wanna read a nearly 5,000 word one of those (many of which are a 36-year-old man nearly crying over kirby air riders)
Game of the Year 2025
I closed my 2024 game of the year list by saying I didn’t know how the year could be topped when it comes to new video games.
