I host and edit one podcast and co-host another one for @gamepodular.com. I also do the YouTube, Twitch, and some back-end stuff. I'm always down to talk about games (or music, or wrestling).
I sound like an American but I promise I'm Dutch.

I feel like we don't appreciate tomato paste enough. I added it to a green bean stir fry and it added a delicious fruitiness and depth

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:
YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
YouTube suspended

Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

-100's of games launch on Steam every week
-There aren't enough writers to cover them
-Pubs/devs don't always respond to emails from excited writers
-Editors can't always afford to pay for reviews/features
Please don't rush to blame writers/sites when something niche isn't covered. We're trying.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

"why would I ever buy a Steam machine when I can build something stronger" congrats this isn't for you, it's for someone who saw their favorite group of streamers play Peak and wanted a machine that would run it and Marvel Rivals good at an easily digestible price without any fuss.

Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" ignited a love for literary criticism that's still burning 14 years later
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
