The show and the forum influence each other, but one is not required to enjoy the other. Happy to have you here! What video game discussion will you be joining and/or starting with us all?

iām a big switch/pc gamer, so iāll largely be participating in those! also a huge jrpg/hack and slash fan ^^ but i figure iāll get more of a feel of the kind of genres people are into before starting any discussions in particular.

Hello everyone!
Iāve been listening the show for about 2 years now and just decided to join the conversation here.
Iām a 32yo software engineer and dad from Mar del Plata, Argentina. Some things I like:
- videogames, obviously. I currently own a -broken- Switch, an Xbox Series X, and I just bought a Miyoo Mini Plus for retro gaming
- music in general
- talking and thinking about politics (perhaps unsurprisingly, Iām a leftist)
- wine (not a connoisseur but I sure do like drinking and learning about it)
Really glad to be here!

Hello there and welcome to the forums.
Please feel free to recommend all wines you enjoy and how youāre finding the miyoo mini plus!
And as a fellow dad, you can always check out Insert credit jr. for some great recommendations.
Happy posting =)

Hello fellow dirtbags!
Iām Ethan, I work in a library and make psychedelic video art when Iām not playing games.
Been a big fan of Tim since coming across his Minit video years ago. Insert Credit became my favorite video game pod as soon as I started listening to it a couple years ago. I follow Brandon on bluesky and he said something recently about these forums being the best.
Frank sounds so much like one of my good friends named Brandon which is at least 30% of why I like the show so much.
Iām kind of in a weird space with video games right now after finishing FF7 Rebirth and Dragons Dogma 2. Been playing a little Remmant 2, a little No Rest for the Wicked, a little Unicorn Overlord but mostly Vampire Survivors.

@EthanViz Hereās a random tip for a jank-but-nuts suvivors-like but-also-hades-like if youāre on PC - try the demo for Spell Disk on steam. Pardon the unsolicited recommendation, but welcome!

My latest long form video was for a Winter Solstice themed ambient music night that was streamed on twitch. Pretty proud of it tbh

Hi all!
Iām And, I started listening to Insert Credit early last year and have been a dirtbag ever since. Going through the backlog of pre-time skip episodes now and decided I wanted to check out the forums Iāve heard so much about, really glad I did (this site is so nice to look at)!
Iām a graphic designer with an interest in game development thatās too big to ignore, slowly working my way through learning the basics with the dream of collaborating with other creatives on a project. Iām 22 and live in the south, not the best place to live if you pursue creative industries it turns outā¦ oops! My interests are primarily film and games, I like making zines from time to time and hope to make more. If you wanna talk Apichatpong Weerasethakul or how upsetting it is that we donāt have a Nausicaa video game Iām your guy!
Looking forward to meeting you all :)

I think you mean āhow upsetting it is that we donāt have a modern Nausicaa video gameā ;)
Go check out the history of Nausicaa games!
(You could also lament not having a good Nausicaa game afterwards lol)

Hello everyone!
My name is Owen and Iām happy to be here! I started a new job back in October of last year that has a forty-five minute commute. As I tried to nail down a podcast to keep up with (I started with binging Blank Checkās Studio Ghibli episodes), I remembered that Tim had mentioned doing a podcast. I instantly fell in love with the show and community it is surrounded by. Now Iām really doing myself a favor and signing up for the forums after lurking for a while.
My main video game endeavor has been giving into the brain rot which is PokĆ©mon shiny hunting. I usually accompany it with some other form of media, tonightās entertainment being SummoningSaltās new video about Tetris. I just recently moved on from ToTK after playing it on and off since release. My new game has been Yakuza 0, which my buddies have been telling me to play for a while now (with the show backing up their suggestion).
Besides gaming, Iāve been trout fishing on the sunny days and building Gunpla on the rainy days (currently working on the Aerial).
Thanks for taking the time to learn about meā¦ I canāt wait get to know you all!

Hello! Iāve been a lurker off and on since probably sometime near the start of IC? Dropped off for quite a long time after the TGQ/SB/etc. era, but recently stumbled across the podcast and now Iām back in, like a spaceship drifting too close to the event horizon.
Iām a former prairie-bound Canadian, current damp western-bound American. Letās talk about genre film, the superior aesthetic of the late 90s FMV adventure game, and Dreamcast era nostalgia. Maybe some new stuff too? Anything could happen.

Hi Everyone,
I learned about IC about 6m ago while discussing good video game reviews with some friends. I am an occasional liker of video games and really like the inclusive community IC presents. I really like the analysis and different perspectives without tokenizing people.
I live in Oakland, also enjoy riding bikes, and hanging out in a hacker space in SF. I am some kind of technologist with experience in software and hardware. I consider myself a āsystems guyā in the broadest possible sense. I like building, analyzing, and breaking things.
I started off playing text-based games over a 2400 buad dial-up modem. I am ārented R.O.B the Robot from my local video rental storeā years old. I saw The Wizard in theaters. The Secret of Monkey Island is probably my favorite video game, hitting right in the nostalgia sweet spot. Most of my video game time is spent playing classics years after they come out, possibly while visiting my friends. I just started playing Control on Normal and have died about 30 times to the first boss in the Mail Room. I played Half-Life and HL2 for the first time about 3m ago. I love Deus Ex. I will wreck people in YDKJ but I am pretty awful sports or pvp games. I played a lot of Unreal Tournament in college and thought i was getting really good, then l realized the server i was on was all bots at the time. Generally prefer 1-player story focused games.
Let me know if thereās a good place to post about In-Person events! I didnāt notice an obvious place when perusing. Interested in hearing more about the environment around video games as well.

And good luck on Control. That one wasnāt fun, but youāll be glad you when do it ;)

Howdy. Relatively new Insert Credit listener here, I found the podcast through Timās videos and have been listening to the backlog at furious speed. Now Iām here to put the social back in parasocial.
Iām an Irish fella but will probably emigrate soon since this country has become inhospitable to anyone below the age of 60. I enjoy the act of playing video games but seldom have time to do so. Recently Iāve been dividing my time between DQ11 and Metroid Prime and have been having a scrumptious time. Iām also a fan of Resident Evil, Fallout, Metal Gear Solid, and Zelda.
Iām a trained audio engineer and was working as an assistant engineer in a recording studio until recently. Now I work in the wild and wacky world of esports broadcast.
I also like movies, listening to LPs, going for walks, and eating treats ānā sweets.
Thank you for accepting me into your hearts.

Joined this forum because I wanted a place to discuss whatever I was interested in at the moment, and I was fed up with the toxic nature of other sites.
