Tomorrow's episode features jazz, a trip to France, and at least one audible gasp from my guest.
Also, I've spent more time on editing out my horrible laugh than I have on anything else.

My favourite game of 2024 just got a major free update.
Their publisher imploded in their original release week, but they’ve continually supported the game, whilst working on this. It’s a gorgeous, kinetic and incredibly challenging Metroidvania. (1/2)

Hearing someone go on an extended, articulate and relatable tear on a *horrible* sounding game that a lot of people seem to be pretending to like is one of life’s little thrills 🎧
This one's got everything: Dunkalatte talk, Willa's neighbors doing construction, Robin playing a game where you are a little mouse, but the main event is – of course – Willa going on an extended rant about a game she hates that most people love.

It took me 25 minutes to articulate *some* of why this game is good. The ever excellent Flow State did a better job in 4.

The Séance of Blake Manor's two biggest strengths are the depth of its characters and the depth of its Irish setting. Both of these make it a better detective game.

Rage quit a podcast today that was dumping on Nintendo charging $5 for the Animal Crossing Switch 2 upgrade, that in the same breath, said Nintendo should release an AC themed mouse that they would 100% buy.

Haven’t done a straight review episode for a while. I find them intimidating. But…
@spookydoorway.bsky.social’s The Séance of Blake Manor inspired me, to both cover the game AND to trawl through hours of 60’s British horror TV and a Stewart Lee documentary in service of putting the sound together.
