Howdy y’all.
I started listening to the pod within the last year because I needed something on my commutes to and from work. Figured I’d join the forums for fun.
I’m a big fan of fighting games, arcades, and rpgs. But honestly I play anything that seems cool and interesting. Currently getting through SMT V Vengeance which is crazy good.
Outside of games I build and collect gunpla, love cooking, and like making fancy coffee. :)

Yo, I’m Spencer. I just started listening to the podcast a couple of weeks ago and I’ve already purchased Balan Wonderworld. Making an account here was the next logical step.
I don’t care to say what I do for a living, but I’ve drawn things occasionally and would like to get back to making comics but it’s difficult to do. I have been writing some long-form fiction (I hesitate to refer to it as a novel) that I’ve been posting chapters of on a blog, but it’s so hard to explain that I don’t often bring it up. I’ve also been known to whip out a screenplay or two in the past, but that didn’t really lead anywhere and I didn’t know what to do with it, so that’s kind of done for right now. I’m also considering doing some videos on youtube about games or comics or whatever, but I haven’t found just the right subject just yet, but I’m getting close.
When it comes to more general interests I love comics more than anything in the world. That being said, not much for superheroes. I’m also a big fan of weird movies, weird games (does that need to be said on this forum?), and techno. I probably listen to too much techno to the point where my streaming platform of choice said my listening habits are most in common with those in Brighton in the UK, which says a lot about me. I would like to think Jeff Minter and I have at least some musical taste in common.
Anyway, that’s whats up.

hi y’all, I’m Adam!
I’ve been listening to the podcast since last year, and finally decided to join the forum - I’ve been looking for something different from social media, and this seems like a nice corner of the internet
I live in the PNW, I like to play videogames (RPGs and narrative games especially), read sci fi and fantasy books as well as comics and manga, and listen to KEXP
I also like to make games and maintain a little engine for little games, worlds, and stories
when I have time I dabble in game boy photography and linocut and one of these days I’m going to get back into cycling
looking forward to meeting y’all!

Hi! I’ve been listening to the podcast on and off for about two years and frequently from the beginning of this year. Really enjoy hearing about all the Japanese games that I missed growing up.
I live in Finland (I’m one of the at least two listeners here) a country with game culture shaped by the Commodore 64, the demo scene, the colossal popularity of Playstation and mobile game studios built on the ruins of Nokia’s phone business.
I enojy games with turn-based combat, movies from the 70s, studying history and reading fantasy novels (big fan of Terry Pratchett and the Discworld books).

Welcome to the forums!
Hope you enjoy it with us and check out the Mug Check topic, which to make you feel even more at home as at least three Moomins in it.
So who or what is your favourite Discworld character? Of course after the luggage =)

Two of my favorite things. Maybe we should start a forum thread on one of these topics.

I have a copy of a Ps2 prototype from housemarque (built from two demoscene groups) that I got when I was out there - I really need to upload it somewhere at some point.

Hello everyone
Been listening to the podcast for a while and been trying to get out of the social media sphere and back into some traditional online spaces.
Gamewise I’m primarily into rpgs and adjacent genres. I’m from Denmark and currently living in Copenhagen. I’m sometimes caught off guard by US cultural standards, so if something seems off then please reach out to me. I am always open to learn something new.
I’m also a sociologist by training and currently work with politics, primarily about science policy and universities.
Looking forward to check out this place.

Welcome to IC.
Thanks for a great introduction and hope you enjoy spending some time in our little part of the digital world.
Please share more on your adjacent genres, as I am sure they’ll be welcome here. And if you fancy some topics to get you started we have a great one about video game mountains, what you got in the mail and of course, what’s that game?
Have fun =)
