This weekend was a big milestone for @controllerclubpod.bsky.social - it was our first gaming event as a podcast! We spent it networking, playing demos, interviewing devs, and creating content. I’m very grateful the universe brought our trio together and that we get to share experiences like this.

I’m playing TLOU2 while watching season 2 of the TV show and, yes, the HBO show is making more changes this season but they’re still matching certain moments shot for shot.
