Rare Item Studio was one of the best stores we went to in Japan. It is a retro game store but has more of a cozy vibe rather than the usual claustrophobic one. A bit out of the way in Akihabara, but worth the effort to find! They also had vinyl and books.

Had a lovely time talking to @thebonuspoints.com about Ludocene and suggesting Abla: A Wildlife Adventure for their top games list. Glad they loved it as much as I did.

Loved the bonus episode @thebonuspoints.com , Obra Dimwits was such a great series! ( although from the looks of that ending, there’s more to come )

Future (and past) guest Andy Robertson has recently released a book! Check it out below 👇
Haven't talked about Unbound, but it's been quite a journey to regroup and self-publish my next book rather than "all that" again.

Excited to have my first novel, WHAT WAS HIDDEN, in my hands. It would mean the world to me if you could share, buy, review as you're able:
