Potentially related to that post about the recordings I'm doing - anyone have thoughts on The Dig and/or The Dagger of Amon Ra? Like/Dislike?

A little bit from the other podcast I did...
Every year, I do 5 daily minisodes about my fave albums of the year. From 27 Dec to the 31st, you'll be getting daily Pick A Disc episodes.

I'd love to hear from you. So if you have an album you could speak for 60-90 seconds of, please feel free to email me at pickadisc(a)gmail.com for more info!

Hey - who is recording TWO episodes of the podcast this week? This guy! *points thumbs at self*

I mean, it'd be a bit weird if I wasn't involved. Might be an improvement to the podcast, but weird.

I didn't get chance to play this at AdventureX, but played it this weekend and really enjoyed D3AD HAND.
Now to start R3D STAR!
Thanks to all the kind people who came to play D3AD HAND and have a chat. And see you tomorrow for more #AdvX2025

Enjoyed playing this at AdventureX last week - looking forward to diving in!

Purchased the reforged edition of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars today. Haven't played it in decades. Immediately discovered where me often quoting "and don't cross the road until the little man shows green" comes from here.

I have now clocked over 200 hours on Balatro. I've only had it a good four/five months. My previous Steam playtime record was 60-ish hours for Final Fantasy VIII.

It's not an addiction, honest.

And the fourth episode was a crossover with @reddwarfpod.bsky.social as I was joined by Red Dwarf and Simon The Sorceror fan Ashley Day to talk about whiny British Teenagers in silly hats voiced by Chris Barrie!

After a gap of nearly two and a half years, the second episode of the podcast arrived in the now guest-led format of the show, very similar to how my show @pickadisc.bsky.social is structured. This time, @ianbuckley.bsky.social talked about the amazing "Gone Home"...

A few conversations at #AdventureX reminded me its been 6 years since I ran #pointandclickmas back over on Twitter before *gestures vaguely*. We partnered to give away dozens of games across 24 days of advent from indie developers.
Should I bring it back this year? I'm thinking probably 12 days..

Over the past year, there's been some absolutely astounding games released. In my head there's a Super Smash Brothers Brawl going on between four games for my number 1 game of the year.
