I love that. One of the draws for me is that they sound exactly like people I would have been friends with in my formative years and also as a 40-something year-old!

@retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social is without question my favorite podcast, and it truly elevates a game play experience if you’re listening along.

Oh hell yes. I’m definitely joining the Patreon now. Without question the RPG I’ve played the most times.

I don’t hear it in this, but Danny Brown sampled FFVII in a song. Unfortunately it’s not on Apple Music. Here’s a playlist I put together of songs (mostly rap) that sample songs/sounds from video games, feat. FFVII, FFX, Chrono Trigger and Cross, plus more! music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Thank you so much for the update. Y’all rule! I’ll use YouTube as a stopgap and will check Apple periodically, or will go the Patron route if this ends up being an extended amount of time. Cheers, and you may now go to sleep.

Gladly! Full disclosure: I was planning on becoming a Patron at some point anyhow, likely whenever the next season starts. But that first season has been a major contributor to my enjoyment of Xenogears. You guys have a helluva podcast, and I am so thankful for all of your high quality work.

If I need to become a Patron to have access to those eps moving forward, I have no qualms with that, but just thought I’d mention the Podcast app thing.

I would argue it’s very good! But while, I have you, I’m currently playing Xenogears for the first time and have been listening along to your season on that game as I go, and all those episodes appear to have dropped off the Apple Podcasts app. Just so you know!

Do comics count? Read the entirety of @robertkirkman.bsky.social’s Invincible series over three compendiums and I could barely put it down and was so sad when it ended. A much needed escape while navigating my wife’s first two months of chemo.

It truly felt like a long early NGE episode. Glorious stuff.

Invincible and Final Fantasy VI especially have been crucial in (barely) keeping my head above water.
