Har dere noensinne irritert dere over mangelen på salt i Hyrule, eller at Skyrim og andre fantasysettinger ignorerer følgene av landbruksrevolusjonen i sin fremstilling av primærnæringer i spill?

Shared my thoughts on Pokemon Legends: Z-A on the @easyallies.bsky.social podcast this week after 50 hours of playing. As much as I love and cherish Pokemon, this game left me feeling...well, have a listen to find out ;)
Is Ball x Pit worthy of awards status? Is Huber too scared of Ninja Gaiden 4? Does Bloodlines 2 rise above its troubled development? We've got a ton of games to talk about as we keep our heads above the October floodwaters.

YouTubers, I am begging - please either go easy on the flashing effects or put a warning like I’ve been seeing more of on platforms like TikTok. Having a seizure knock me out bc of a 5-sec bit that in no way needed the flashing effects really sucks. People die from seizures every day. It’s scary.

I'm so confident Pew Pew Bang could have like 5 million followers if the right people were exposed to it. Do you have people in your life who love games but hate listening to a bunch of dudes talk about them? Show them Pew Pew Bang!! It's the podcast that's also a slumber party!
The new episode of Pew Pew Bang is now live! The crew finds games at the intersection of fragging and friendship and Haley has some wise words to share for those mourning a relationship gone by. Watch here or listen on your podcast app of choice: youtu.be/_i27qAXe2-4
