Putting on my serious hat for a second, I recognise your GWJ joke a nod toward my tone-deaf proselytizing of another podcast within these very pages. Well played and I'll take it on the chin. All of you guys work hard here, often pushing against the tide of what's mega-popular in terms of format and sensibility. In that respect I guess nobody wants to hear what Delboy Trotter labelled 'the parable of the lucky git'.

Listen I’ve podcasted with GWJ folks multiple times, I used to listen to their show regularly and I know they have a good community. I have nothing against those folks whatsoever.

Well that sounds like my queue to leave, quite frankly, as I suspect I'm one of those belligerents owing to some of my recent clashes. We all know each other as well as anonymous forumites can, so please, people, feel free to tell me, either here or via a private message, if I've lowered the tone of the forum. I'm a big boy and can take the criticism.

I wasn’t ‘subtweeting’ you there.

Whatever you do, don't slip into a maddening paranoid trance and spend an entire evening deleting all of your posts manually. It's not as much fun as it sounds.

The next time I'm filing GDPR papers with the European Court of Justice on the grounds that I spilled my heart out on a videogame forum.

So long, clippa.

It wouldn’t make any significant difference to our podcast listenership (or Patreon subscribers), but it would be one less thing for us to manage.
Na, it’s not mate.

This odd little cloud will move along shortly and everyone will begin contributing into podcast threads and posting the odd original content threads once more.

Don’t pull the plug, it’s nice here 😍😍.

My videogame deal is that you lot can come to my island and do my work.

Deal?

I have a friend who used to deal in video games. Pirated ones. Mentioned him twice or thrice on the podcasts we did on the PS1 Resi games.

The amount of times you've mentioned him they've almost certainly gained enough information for him to be fined and imprisoned.

Fell Seal is good stuff! Definitely scratches that itch if you want more FF Tactics/Fire Emblem/Disgea gameplay!

There are a few decent Switch games on sale at the moment. Tempted by Dragons Dogma for £16 but being strong given I now have about 15 games installed on mine I've not even started yet. Worth a glance at the eShop though.

Captain Toad Treasure Trackers on 3DS for £7.99 at Argos seems like it can't be a bad purchase.

Delightful game that.

I’ve played the Wii U and Switch versions to completion so can’t speak to the performance of the 3DS but for £8 it’s gotta be worth it 😎.

I'm playing a quite fun and relaxing game I picked in today's Europe PS4 sale - 'Gem Smashers'.

I wasn't expecting much for 79p/4zl but it's good. It's a kind of bouncy animal ball, colour changing puzzle game... quite unique and hard to explain. Good fun though and easy to pick up and play.

If anything the 3d effect will look good with the diorama type levels.
