I had so much fun talking with Sean—someone I've been listening to since I stumbled on the If We Ran Nintendo podcast many years ago. 💕
This moment has stuck with me since it happened weeks ago and today the podcast published on Patreon. I am so grateful to @superpac.bsky.social for saying this.
I have been doing better since doing these episodes of We The GamerCast and it’s thanks to some genuine conversations with great people.

Shout out to whoever it is at Nintendo that makes these NSO trailers something fun to introduce the games to people who weren’t around (or maybe even born yet) when these originally came out. I see and appreciate you! 👍

Absolutely fantastic stuff @gamesack.net and @mylifeingaming.bsky.social. As someone who read EGM *religiously* and then was lucky enough to get a job there in 1994, I appreciated seeing this inside look into the early days of the magazine and its history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E010...

It’s an odd/cool thing to look forward to watching a documentary (or reading a book) on something that…you were a part of. 🥸 And that played such a large part in my life with a lot of people I care about.
Less than 24 hours until the documentary "Pixels to Pages - The Story of Electronic Gaming Monthly" premieres! Hope that you can be there!
