I do enjoy @backpagepod.bsky.social but just also found lots of episodes of @mrbasilpesto.bsky.social previous podcast, The Rotating Platform from 10+ years ago on my podcast app.
Still a top listen! Crazy bits like the Space Ark, listeners singing game themes, Jam With The Band - it's great!

Why don't they just be really open about what they want.

Ha. Turns out I did get a Wrapped even though I cancelled my subscription around the second week of January. They compiled it from under two weeks worth of listening... 😆

Help! I started a new save on No Man's Sky. I'll play around 15-20 hours for about the fifth or sixth time before drifting away from it again. I don't know why I always keep starting again...

Remembering when I said, on Twitter, I had missed an opportunity to throw dog poo at T*mmy R*bins*n, without tagging him, and within minutes he sent me a voice message making thinly veiled threats to come and find me 🤣 We went back and forth for a while before he stopped replying.

Well this is a new one. Every year I have to ring them up and tell them I'm cancelling so they offer me another discount. They've made the first move this year - never had that happen before. What's going on?

Finally beat Barbuta, the first game on UFO 50. Bounced hard off it initially, but it's an absolutely brilliant game! Really loved this.
Need to do it again now without losing any lives... It's so quick to finish once you know where everything you need is.

This remake of XIII got absolutely panned, but it's the most fun I've had with an FPS in ages. It runs smoother than in this video and looks decent on Switch 2. Picked it up for under £5 a while back, and would definitely recommend. I think it's been patched a lot since release, too.

I normally finish 25-30 games a year, but for some reason this year I just can't finish anything. Just finished Dredge though, my first completion since about April. I liked it.

I was excited that some NBA games were going to be included in a Prime subscription, but it turns out, perhaps as expected, to be absolute horseshit.
Unless you watch live (after midnight) all you get are 2 minute recaps. Barely any full game replays. Fucking Amazon are shite. Absolute shite.

This really irritates me. Why change the spine design halfway through a run of books (Batman Rebirth). They stop numbering them altogether after volume 9, too 🤷

This will make no sense to anyone at the moment, but hopefully if my question is read out on the next show it will... If not, please enjoy the photo for what it is. 😆

Just got out of BlueSky jail and have absolutely no idea why I was suspended. Was given no reason whatsoever, and got no response at all when trying to find out.

I go out for a bit and come home to this. Not one. Not two. THREE fucking trees up and the living room looking like the seasonal aisle in B&M.
I'm out. Just kill me dead.
It's November the fucking 9th, in case anyone doesn't have a calendar or a copy of today's paper to hand.

Well this has bothered me far more than it should. They've only just changed it!

Remembering the time I said I wanted to throw dog shit at Tommy Robinson (without tagging him) and within minutes he'd slid into my DMs making thinly veiled threats to come and find me.
