I've been on Bluesky for a bit now but I guess I never did a formal introduction. So what better time than now!

Hey all! I'm Josh and I'm the host of the Still Loading Podcast. Its a show about video games with a touch of game history thrown in there too.
I may continue through it slowly but we'll see how my motivation holds up haha

Good to know! I didn't mind some of the smaller changes but Perrin having a wife and even Moiraine just sharing that they were all Ta'veren just seemed so out of place to me. Also good to know about what you said in your other comment that the show runner didn't want that bit for Perrin.

I tried watching the first episode of the Wheel of Time TV show and I am baffled by the changes they made. Like genuinely confused and a little angry lol

Getting back into reading over the past 5 months or so has been a lot of fun. So if you have any other recommendations for fantasy books or series send them my way!

I used the last of a gift card to pick up the first 3 books in the Death Gate Cycle series. I hadn't known about this series until recently but I had heard good things so I figured I would give them a shot!

Thank you for making a great show! I've been reading the series for the first time (I'm currently on book 4) and it's been fun listening to episodes on the books I've already read.

I've been listening to a ton of Tar Valon or Bust lately and mannn I love listening to @runwithskizzers.bsky.social and @jennirl.bsky.social talk about Wheel of Time. This show is so damn good.

It's so good man. I didn't grow up with it but it has become a favorite of mine.

Check out my podcast! Still Loading is a gaming grab bag show with a sprinkle if game history thrown in for context.

Toriyama Month is coming to an end and I could not think of a better way to cap off this series than to talk about Chrono Trigger. Considered one of the best games ever made, Chrono Trigger is an impr...

I feel like this could have been the album art for the Chrono Trigger soundtrack.
🕹️ Bytes of Gaming History ⌛

Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yuji Horii, and Akira Toriyama together in February 1995, just a month before the release of Chrono Trigger.

Oh, the collective wonder they're about to release into the world...

A big thank you again to @bitmapbooks.com for the review copies of their book Trigger Happy which was the inspiration for this episode.

I actually had not played it before! It was cool playing it for the first time with her.
January 11, 2026 at 3:06 AM
I'm surprised how quickly she got accustomed to it!
January 11, 2026 at 3:06 AM
😂. I've since moved it down to the floor. It was kind of a haphazard setup at first.

My 4 y/o is playing Yoshi's Story on the N64 for the first time and is loving it. And seeing her play on a CRT just makes it that much better :)

I'm launching a new gaming website! Sometime after everything happened last year I convinced my former boss @midimyers.com to come on this journey with me, and I could not be more grateful. I'm so proud to make something I love, something I stand by, something I OWN. Learn more at the link below :')

Recent events have my heart quite heavy.

I was told to never mention my views/politics as a content creator. I'd "lose half of my audience."

I don't care.

I'm not aligned with hate. Anyone who feels bothered by that can find another show.

I don't need them. More importantly, I don't want them.
