As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

It’s great doing @backlogbreakers.com, but I swear the second the recording starts I turn into this bumbling, rambling idiot. It’s like my brain does not compute how to talk coherently, in front of a microphone.
Just talk like a normal person, dummy!

Happy to be back in the recording saddle today! Big thank you to @farleigh.bsky.social for filling in for me last episode. If you haven’t already, give it a listen. It’s the best one yet
Hey, would you look at that, Episode #5 is live! 🎉
Slightly different format this week, with Farleigh joining Nick to discuss gaming in their relationship, lockdown Among Us and, of course, Robert De Niro.
Not sure how they're related? Us neither!

Since we're recording tonight, we want to ask you... What's on your backlog? What have you been meaning to get around to, but other games (read: Silksong) have interfered?
Let us know so we can mention them tonight!

With game prices rising, creators can’t afford to chase every new release, hoping one finally pays off.

Apology for the vent, but I hate that I just want to use social media to let people know about the cool stuff in my life and fun new projects I'm making with people I love, but it feels like a betrayal of the heinous shit that's really going on. I apologize in advance if I navigate that line poorly.

One thing I dislike about gamer reactions nowadays is if a game isn't in a genre they like, they'll just trash it from top to bottom.
I was hyped for The Duskbloods until I saw it was a MP only pseudo BR thing. Not for me but that doesn't mean it'll suck. Not every game has to be tailored to you.
