  • Pride Month Feels Complicated (ft. Christie J)
    Jun 26 2026

    Meeting fellow queer folks online in gaming spaces can be a huge source of support, but it can also drive you mad. I'm joined today by Christie J aka theanarchristie to talk about some of the complicated feelings around Pride as a spectacle, how we stay grounded and focused on the things that matter, and how we intersect with a mixture of fellow queer and trans folks and well-intentioned allies, both online and off.


    You can follow Christie on BlueSky at theanarchristie.bsky.social, watch her streaming on Twitch as TheWivesAnarchy, and keep up with other streaming and fundraising activities via the New York Snark Exchange (found wherever medias are socialed).

  • Monster Hunter Wilds: Nounverb Expansion (ft. CGDannyB & H0b0monkey)
    May 29 2026

    Monster Hunter Wilds looked like it was going to be one of The Games Of All Time, and then it launched. On today's episode, I'm joined by Danny and Conner, two very different flavors of Monster Hunter player, to talk about where Wilds fell short and what the upcoming (perhaps soon-to-be-revealed) expansion needs to do to win us back.

    You can follow Danny on most platforms as CGDannyB, the Playlog podcast anywhere you get your podcasts, and Conner wherever he goes as H0b0monkey.
