One Life Left

WARNING: This show contains a brief mention of private body parts that Ste probably still hasn't heard! Shocking! It's OK, though, coz it's related to something glow-in-the-dark that was bought in Blackpool! Oo-er! <Waits for the request to do some more editing of the show...> ANYWAY! SSG klaxon ahoy! This week we are joined by Paul Monaghan who recently interviewed Simon as part of his amazing work collecting games magazine journos and telling their stories whilst not sharing any gossip! From Googling how to spell his name correctly I also suspect he's from the same part of the world as I am so that makes him even more of a top chap, obviously! Meanwhile, we also have Nintendo inventing music, Charlesbot pretending he needs more practice at reading the news and Nvidia being bigger than anything! Ste and Simon also go on a world tour to hunt down dodgy/knock-off/pirated videogames for you, dear listener! (Does that make the holidays OLL expenses...?) If you're reading this nonsense and it's not yet Friday 8th November, we have a FREE Maraoke event at Loading in Stoke Newington. On Friday 8th November. Get your tickets HERE! How much plastic tat do you own? Have you met a Disney princess? Do you know what happened at Edge?? Tell us everything at [email protected]. Or join our Discord and spread lots of gossip there.

Isn't it horrible when someone leaves you out of something? Well, dear listeners, this week we discover how a veteran Edge writer has been left out of a new periodical written by veteran Edge writers!!! The injustice!! We also have Charlesbot evolving into something that swears and says "aaah" a lot, the "console arms race" has levelled out and it's Tetris aaaaaaall the way down. Tetris! Plus much more... Meanwhile we have another Maraoke event coming up and this time it's FREE! Friday 8th November at Loading in Stoke Newington. Get your tickets HERE! Like Pac-Man gobbling up those questionable pills, we devour your letters and need MORE OF THEM!!!

Hello! Welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the podcast version of the video game radio show that is now "officially" old enough to buy alcohol (in the UK, anyway). This week we have more licence "owning" shenanigans, speculate over top secrets at Nintendo (who have also just invented the alarm clock), Konami get cosy with FIFA, Ste had general anaesthetic AND created a bot while Simon had a board meeting.

Well, listeners, this week It Did Not Come Home. Unless your home is in Spain, obviously. Meanwhile Simon goes on stage, Nintendo get scary and Mickey Mouse gets pickpocketed.

This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. However, if you're reading these notes at any point after about 10pm on July 10th 2024 then all of this is irrelevant. Also, hi, how's the apocalypse? Anything like Fallout? Let us know at etc etc... Meanwhile, we also hear about a Holland Park Gallic rejection, Bioware let us cheat death, Nintendo promise Switch 2's for everyone and a man gets in trouble for fidgeting with his Master Sword in public. It's true. Note from The Undercaretaker - Ste mentions something about beds at the start of the reviews section this week which leads Simon on to talking about Minecraft. This might not make sense but it's related to the musical intros/beds not working on the live & radio broadcast of the show (thanks, Riverside.fm!) that I've fixed for the podcast edition. I didn't want to completely butcher what our intrepid duo were talking about, though. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Ofcom's HQ is at Riverside House. Our recording software is Riverside.FM... CONSPIRACY??!? Let us know at [email protected]. Or slide into our Discord and leave us a letter there as well as getting allocated a game to (rarely) review AND a link to play the OLL game currently called Black Diamonds! Link below!

This week OLL is coming home, we're Shure of it! We talk about AAA games not doing well on iPhone, a grown man having a tantrum at Nintendo, the Cyberpunk sequel being more American and Steam members having a lot of unplayed games! We also reveal that Ste is not a Saudi prince and Simon doesn't appear to be a fan of the Tour de France. And, yes, I appear to have fixed the issues Ste mentions in the exclusive podcast intro!

Iiiiiiin this week's episode of the longest running video game radio show in the English language we have Keef Stuart's skin-care regime, a Nintendo leak runs dry, Elden Ring's DLC doesn't go down well and GAME to sell what, exactly? Or are they carrying on as "normal"?! Who knows... There's also part 1 of what is possibly a one part series from Simon on "How to Set Up a Political Party" in our exclusive, unbannable, podcast intro!

This week we have blown over tomato plants, collapsing gazebos, how to get Steam games cheaper (just launch a class action against Valve), a Ubisoft dev can help us ignore Musk, SW: Outlaws might be boring and Xbox might get a handheld. Meanwhile one of our presenters might be getting cancelled but can you guess which one?! We also discuss Steam's recent Next Fest and the Mad(rid) Games Show! Do you lubricate your chair?

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, the video game radio show presented by Simon "Undisputed King of Comedy" Byron and Ste "Product of a Thatcherite Economy" Curran! On this week's episode we discuss the prices for Summer Games Fest, Blumhouse hit a six, Tetris now demands your blood and Ste applies for a job in a pixelated Ikea. What a load of Roblox! We also get an update on Ste and Simon's travels and hear the latest on Black Diamond along with the usual letters and reviews. Do you want to buy a treasure map??

Thanks to our podcast platform having a hiccup, everything I'd originally written and hyperlinked got wiped out but, unlike a corrupted video game save that put me off playing a game for life, I can't walk away this time so, here, these are not the greatest show notes in the world, no, these are just a tribute... This week we have, albeit briefly, the Origin Story of Why Simon is in The Shed. Kind of. There's also the usual video game related news, reviews and letters. PLEASE SEND US MORE LETTERS!!!

This week Simon briefly sounds like a robot (but it's not the mics fault, corporate overlords!) and Ste doesn't go to Buckingham Palace but, hold the front page, WE HAVE AN SSG!!! We're joined by Jupiter Hadley who tells us all about new indie game showcase Brilliant Indie Treasures which is aiming to take down Develop whilst also helping us to execute a bank heist. While those two things may fail, if they even get off the ground, Jupiter and team are definitely aiming to showcase over 50 playable, unreleased, indie games in a bank in Brighton so please do check them out. Jupiter also champions playing games for fun and not for punishment so that is certainly no bad thing! There's also Phoebe Waller-Bridge raiding some tombs, WASD report, the UK Government don't care about killing games, Xbox shift more games to PS and Take-Two haven't closed any studios, honest. Did you go to Buckingham Palace? Do you play games for "fun"?! Have you been closed by Take-Two?!? Tell us all about everything at [email protected] and we're hoping for AT LEAST 10 letters when we come back in over a week's time, after bank holiday, so no pressure. If you loved us you'd send 10 letters. Just saying... Or join our Discord and drop us a letter there, of course. Link below!

MEANWHILE, there's a podcast edition of a certain radio show to write about! This week there's a BUMPER podcast exclusive intro which is absolutely not almost entirely an advertorial for Shure, honest! We also have Fallout games making a comeback, Nintendo divorce Twitter/X, PSN do more U-turns, Evil Empire play too much Hades 2 and Lawbreakers makes a return! Why?! Nobody is... shure... We also play GuessThe.Game and Ste reports back from Reboot and Simon uncharacteristically backs out of a joke! Please send us more letters! Maybe buy a Shure mic, using our link, then write to tell us how much you love it?! Just a suggestion... Send your letters to [email protected].

Welcome, dear listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left video game radio show and another set of lovingly hand-crafted, "artisanal", show notes with zero AI influence whatsoever! This week Simon holds in his wee to bring you this show, we mention something questionable (but definitely biological so it's OK) at least twice, Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham football club (and nobody else) get promoted, games devs should get tip jars, COD players moan about something that nobody is forcing them to buy, Baldur's Gate 3 wins things and Charlesbot has some exclusive BAFTA after party gossip just for you! We also have computing memories and Ste plans to kill the games industry. Nothing major. Tell all your friends about us and get your friends to tell their friends and so on... Then everyone write us a letter!! We want so many that we can put on a Listener's Letters" special edition like what all the serious gaming podcasts do! Imagine that...

We're back after a week off due to globe trotting shenanigans aplenty! This week we have rumours from GDCs past, Simon's embarrasing embrace(r) story, Capcom are top of Metacritic/does anyone care about Metacritic anymore? Dragon's Dogma moaning, Shinobi (Guerrilla) Warfare and Ubisoft jump on the AI bandwagon! There's also a GDC 2024 report from Simon and Maraoke plus Black Diamond updates from S-T-E! We spoil you so much that we're going to take next week off to recuperate and hunt eggs. (Nah, I'm not doing the lazy "egg hunt" joke...) How much food do you think $70 should get you?

There's shenanigans afoot this week and it only dawned on me while putting these notes together of the potentially top level criminal activities afoot in the UK games industry! In amongst the weekly dose of totally innocent fare we have two seemingly unconnected stories from Simon: Peter Molyneux's car breaks down... Then Simon gets his car carjacked... Come to your own conclusions, dear listeners!! If anyone actually bothers to read these notes then I might've been too scared to even mention this - or I'll just be asked to change these notes if we're skirting too close to legal issues. It wouldn't be the first time I've Said Too Much <wink> <wink> Aaaanyway, yes, in One Life Left this week we have S-T-E not going on a long flight and he's still not a lawyer but he does continue to update his (so far) OLL Exclusive Game Black Diamond (join our Discord to play!), there's an EA Steam stealth drop, March 10th day happened again, EU check out Apple's Epic issues, Warner Brothers can't be bothered and the future of console hardware is dead. Again. Maybe. And, yes, Simon gets his car carjacked "live" on air mere days after going to a posh UKIE dinner with the great and the good of the UK games industry! (Except Peter Molyneux...) Don't forget (unless this is the first time you've heard) that there's a Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke Special at Loading Bar Peckham in That London this coming Friday 15th March!

This week we're riddled with doom, gloom and a cheat code that blows Hot Coffee cold! Hang on tight, this one's a rollercoaster... It includes a Helldiver 2 related ruse, Balatro ratings shenanigans, beer drinking in a playground and Charlesbot shows he's somewhat out of touch with modern Mums! On the exclusive podcast intro, Simon prepares himself a delicious pot noodle-esque "meal" that may or may not involve chicken. And don't forget the Resonance FM fundraising Maraoke on Friday 15th March! Link below!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! In this week's fun filled episode we discover that Xbox exclusives are no longer exclusives, Capcom go down the "better late than never" route for apologies, Doom is finally playable on a lawnmower and then there's something about Suicide Squad. In the podcast exclusive intro we discuss 'that' trailer... you know the one... Meanwhile we have a deep dive into games development as we find out more about another game that Ste has released into the wild (via our EXCLUSIVE OLL Discord server... link below!)

Hello dearest listeners! This week Baldur's Gate 3 wins awards, the Silent Hill 2 remake trailer isn't good, we get an OG Tomb Raider game warning, Xbox hardware won't vanish and the Switch 2 gets delayed (maybe). Also Ste is not making a massively multiplayer game. Did we mention it would be cool if you could help Resonance FM by donating to them? Well the link to their 2024 Fundraiser is below!

Hello dearest listeners! This week in the podcast edition of the world's longest running (English language) video game radio show we have dangerous tree cutting, gaming based anxiety nightmares, children tell jokes, more Nintendo speculation and crazy price tag defence. Plus is it overtime or extra time and does anyone really care? *Warning* The podcast exclusive intro contains swears. The actual show might also have swears though we tried to BEEP them all. Just putting it out there in case anyone likes to listen to the show within earshot of young and/or impressionable people or if you're young and/or impressionable yourself.

This week in your single video game podcast that releases a single episode per week (most of the time) that covers industry news, new releases (often) and has smart thoughts and analysis (we try), we have Cliff Bleszinski waiting on a call from Microsoft, Ste cancels Netflix in anger, Hideaki Itsuno doesn't like fast travel and the Switch successor brags an 8" (screen). We also have a Pocket Gamer report and Charlesbot points the finger at fat cat bosses! Plus in our exclusive podcast intro section, Simon gives us a history of Phillip Schofield while Ste shows us a "behind the curtain" view of virtual studio use and the perils therein!

You should always take your socks gaming with you. That may or may not be the important lesson to be learned in this week's episode, or I misheard something. Possibly that. On this week's RADIO SHOW that is also a podcast (but a RADIO SHOW first and foremost) we also find out what is "confusing AF" about Bluey's Xmas episodes, Palworld copies from Pokemon shocker, 8% of all devs are working on Switch 2, PS4 outsells XSX, 100 is small, Simon bursts into song and Charlesbot tries out his Australian accent! Plus there's a test run of our new trivia quiz that may never get repeated. Winner gets a pair of socks - the perfect co-op gaming companion!

Hello! It's show time once again! And this show is hangry. Or Simon is, at least. This week we have a Past Guest Postmortem, Steam breaks records again, Sony drive a car, Altec Lansing guess things, Valve clamp down on AI, there's something about Suicide Squad and Ste gets a new controller.

Happy New Year! We are back from a very video-game Xmas and we might all be a bit rusty after the holidays! In this episode we have Steam releasing a lot of games (though the signal to noise ratio isn't great), a 13 year old kills Tetris, Nintendo might have a new console out this year and new life is breathed into Cyberpunk 2077.

On the last show before Christmas Ste and Simon gave to me A real, live, talking SSG! That's right, dear listeners! You've been good this year, mostly, so you get an SSG in the form of Andrew Smith from Spilt Milk Studios, here to talk all about Trash Goblin, amongst other things! There's also Game Awards "excitement", vegan gangsters, a zombie MMO that might not be an MMO (and definitely isn't now), Sega takes ages going back to old games, we play a quick game of Steam Top Trumps and Fortnite ramps up their attempt at world domination. All in this bumper Christmas issue of One Life Left! Maraoke did Jingle Jam!!

This week stuff happened. What stuff? Well you could just listen to the episode to find out OR maybe you're reading this at some point in the future when there are thousands of OLL episodes and you're searching through the notes, trying to find something specific... Hello, listeners from the far flung future! How is your commercially viable rocket-pack? Are you living on Mars? In this episode you will find that Simon hates books, Ste talks sausages, Rockstar devs have leaky offspring, PlayStation cause a content licensing/ownership stir and Yorkshire Tea think you'll spend £150 on one of their branded controllers... WHY?? It doesn't even come with any of their teabags!! Anyway... In the latest Tales From Japan we see our intrepid pair (plus Responsible Adult) take on the Nintendo Store in full Supermarket Sweep style! Meanwhile Maraoke does Jingle Jam! On Friday 8th December at 5pm GMT (according to the Yogscast schedule) we will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam Twitch Stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/yogscast There's also a LIVE and IN PERSON Maraoke/OLL Xmas Party on Saturday 16th December at Loading Peckham and you can get your tickets here: maraoke.com/xmas Does your Mum and/or Dad work for Rockstar?

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! In this episode Ste confuses a Royal Mail employee LIVE ON AIR, Simon has a new laptop that doesn't seem as bad as strangers on the internet make it out to be, Ubisoft assassinates Assassin's Creed pop-up ads, Gamemaker goes free (for some), Fortnite to have a Big Bang, Activision watch what you watch and we ponder past PR pop-ups. Meanwhile, in a world where it seems to be getting more acceptable to put Xmas decorations up in November, we have the second of our features that absolutely nobody is calling Tales from Japan that sees our dynamic duo (plus Responsible Adult) visit an arcade. In Japan, obviously. What happened, dear listeners? I thought we were friends?? How come you don't write to us anymore?!?

Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week I, Phil the Undercaretaker, try not to get jealous as we hear Part I of (kind of new feature, I suppose) Tales from Japan! (I need to work on that title... it was a last minute decision...) Meanwhile we discover just who the heck Jonathan Smith is and why he's the Responsible Adult. There's also Simon in a plane toilet, Ste still being jetlagged, Charlesbot getting annoyed by Geoff Keighley, people exchange money, scalpers have love for the PS Portal, DLC thoughts and a 25 year old game gets an update! Woo! Do you play inappropriate video games in public? What is Simon paralyzed by?? Will we find out next week?!? Let us know at [email protected].

This week we might mention that we're going to Japan. Did we mention that we're going to Japan? Well, we're going to Japan. In fact, by the time you read this we'll be up in the air or there already! Excitement!!! Anyway, besides all that, in this episode we have Simon's squeaky chair, Ste's dislike of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, an accidental bank account shutdown, a game is too hot for Microsoft and Nintendo, lots of people play Fortnite again, Lords of the Fallen gets harder and Modern Warfare gets forced on people. Kind of. How many pairs of pants do you take on holiday? How many bank accounts have you opened this week?? What are the account details and your Mum's maiden name??

We suffered some technical issues not of our making yet again this week, folks, so apologies in advance for any drop in quality you may experience. You'll be hearing a few apologies during the show, too, though I (Phil the Undercaretaker) will hold my hand up and say that I don't think it's all that bad. It certainly could've been worse... and, admittedly, if I'd edited out much more then all the apologies and some of the in-show comments wouldn't have made much sense so... there we go. Despite all that, we still have a bumper show for you! This week we hear about Ste's Challenging Weekend(TM), we get a cheese explosion update and Simon speculates on a Switch 2 launch date (he was right about F-Zero so get to the bookies!) We also have a big week in GTA history, Ste's cat behaves weirdly, Blizzard are out for blood, we learn how to smell like Shadow Moses Island and Simon gets so cross about Dreamlight Valley that he breaks the internet! Have you ever been sailed down the Thames as part of a PR stunt? If so then write to us at [email protected] and tell us all about it. Regular correspondence is also welcomed. You can also join our Discord server and post a letter for us there. Link below! Remember to always use a Rawlplug, dear listeners. (Other wall plugs are available) We are not financial advisors.

Is Simon wearing trousers? Is he a firestarter, a twisted firestarter?! Is any of this real any more? Maybe I'm AI and haven't even realised. Maybe we're all programmed by Ste! I think this has been considered before... I must need a defrag. Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we find out whose logo is biggest, Skull Island: Rise of Kong battles is up for worst game of the year but it's what's inside that counts and Netflix consider swooping for GTA. There's also another dose of ClickMate and the team ponder adventures in Japan. The excitement is building! Have you been waiting for our intrepid duo in Regent's Park? Do you want to make a claim for travel expenses due to them not showing up?? If so then write to us at [email protected] and we'll look into your case. Or join our Discord!

Welcome once again to another episode of the One Life Left podcast! This week we have games making Ste poorly, Simon goes to EGX, hackers do hacking, kittens cause minor distraction, Joe Cornish's tv/radio hosting advice, Chris Conroy hangs around in Regent's Park, Molyneux uh oh and All The Mechanics! Plus the MS/Activision 100 Year Saga IS FINALLY OVER!!!! Possibly. Until something else happens. It's a bumper show! There's also more of that new feature from Simon that doesn't officially have a name yet (ClickMate?) so I'll continue to unimaginatively call it Simon Swipes Right. We've got more of that.

Hello listeners. Ste here, because Undertaker Phil's computer has stopped working. In this episode: two old men talk about videogames. That's basically it but if you need more detail I've got you: Ste's clothing choice surprises Simon, Charlesbot yells the news over some slightly too loud audio, Animal Crossing causes emotional and financial problems, Simon's new feature returns (it needs a name) and there's one (ONE) letter from the ever-dependable Chris Conroy. We need more letters. Send us a letter. Discord link: http://hello.onelifeleft.com (there's a link to Ste's new game in there, but we don't talk about that on the show) OK. That's everything. I'm serious about the letters and we also need a name for Simon's feature AND suggestions for things to do in Tokyo, which is fast approaching. You've got a lot on your to-do list but thanks for listening. We love you. See you soon xoxo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left! We're not on Twitch this week but we have just as much fun! We look at the state of the industry in light of the bad news from Sega, and others, Cyberpunk 2077 has a mission killer that you can still pay £25 quid for, Charlesbot applies for Jim Ryan's job at Sony and Ste has kittens! Plus Simon swipes right in a new feature that currently has no name and I'll continue to call it "Simon Swipes Right" until YOU, dear listeners, write in with a name for it! There's another Maraoke for you, too! On Friday 13th October (we laugh in the face of superstitions!) at The Caf, Canary Wharf, London from 7pm. A link for tickets is below!

Well, what can I say?! Last week we had an OLL EXCLUSIVE and we didn't even realise it! We proved the old F-Zero rule wrong and Simon correctly announced the F-Zero news before Nintendo did! Witchcraft?! This week Simon holds the fort while Ste gallivants around London, calling in from random places and avoiding being mugged. Simon isn't alone, though - he's joined once more by Super Special Guest Tony Gowland, here to talk about the launch of his new game: Dungeon Golf (out now!) There's also iPhone 15 Pro info, CharlesBot getting very ranty about F-Zero, far fewer technical hiccups than you might imagine would happen and a Unity royalty fee spree, see? Plus letters, reviews and don't forget we have a Maraoke event in Bristol next Wednesday 27th September. A link is below!

This week, dear listeners, the show is driven by two things: Pure scandal, from the offset, by one of your beloved hosts and, of course, Starfield, because we can't not cover the hottest gaming topic at the moment. It may last a few weeks. We'll see. Regarding the scandal - hop onto our Discord server IF YOU DARE for an exclusive screenshot of the incident that our press office had to work their socks off to avoid hitting the tabloids! Warning: it's not for those of a nervous disposition! Beyond that there's Nintendo in a "will they/won't they reveal anything about F-Zero ever again" shocker (remember the rule: it's always never F-Zero...) and Charlesbot has a lot to think about regarding the possibility of a Broken Sword exclusivity deal... There's also Maraoke info!! We have a Maraoke for you coming up in Bristol on Wednesday 27th September. A link for info and tickets is below. Why do people keep ringing doorbells at lunchtime? Do we really believe Ste was just "looking for his phone"??

Welcome back, dearest listeners, to a new season of One Life Left: the podcast edition of the video game radio show! Hope you've had a great summer! This week we tell you all about our adventures over the past month or so, especially at Gamescom, plus there's topless Ste shenanigans, Starfield in early access (though it'll definitely be out by the time you read this, anyway), Sony shares skyrocketing, Charlesbot wrestling with PlayStation Portal prices and overheard conversations... Meanwhile, as an exclusive for our beloved podcast fans, the intro includes details of our upcoming appearance on the Yogscast Twitch channel for another Pickaxe Podcast Week type thing - if it hasn't already been officially announced then it has now!

This is it, dear listeners - the LAST SHOW EVER (this season)! And what a belter we have for you this week... we have Simon throwing a ball over a house (see our Discord for unquestionable proof), rebuilding Gameboys, Charlesbot plays Hunt the Pikachu with Wifebot, Microsoft might finally be killing the "Gamepass Ultimate Upgrade Hack", Nintendo DS charger difficulties, Ste goes to the PC Zone 30th Birthday bash and The Adventures of TV John (which is arguably better than the last two Indiana Jones films put together). Plus all the usual video game related news, letters and reviews! Meanwhile, did Simon call Ste 'Steve'? This is the end of season cliffhanger that everyone will be discussing all through summer!

In this week's challenging episode, Charlesbot 1.1 fries a circuit when dealing with the MS/Activision resolution(?) news story and almost breaks the show, if not the very internet! Being the professionals that we are, we battle on and wrestle with an easy access battery future, the Gex trilogy coming out again and lots of Develop stuff! We also have an unboxing of the Data Frog SF2000 handheld console and we discover what Simon really thinks of Ste!! (Jingles were added in post, should anyone be confused by talk about them not working...) Next week is the last episode before the Summer holidays so it'll be non-uniform and everyone can bring in a game or toy to play with. Meanwhile, do you think Major Nelson is joining OLL?

With a title like that, dear listeners, you'd think this was some sort of RPG special episode but it is not. I can only apologise for misselling it like that, and doubly so to any new listeners, maybe RPG fans, who jumped on board only to find a distinct dearth of goblin, or even orc, slaying action. No, in this episode you will instead learn about turning a drum machine off with your foot, that circuses/circii no longer have smoking bears, Zen and the Art of Releasing Games (which would've been the title but we have a corporate identity to uphold and it wouldn't fit on the graphic) and how not to redact text OR how to redact text badly and (possibly) lose your job!

Ste is also running his own style of mini convention in Brighton earlier that day: F-Up Con (or maybe Eff-Up Con... I'm avoiding the obvious swear, here) which will likely take place on the beach in the afternoon. If you're interested in discussing your game dev related failures with other like-minded individuals then reach out to Ste somehow. Either email us or hunt him down on Twitter at @steishere Who walks their dog/s outside your house? What games do you play when you're ill?? What was contained within "The Missing Discord Letter"??? (two of us briefly saw it before it vanished so it did exist...) Drop us an email to let us know at [email protected] or bob along to our Discord and drop a (non-disappearing) letter there.
