ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Welcome to episode 291

We kick off with some discussion of our approaching 300th episode milestone and the upcoming teddy bear wars

We talk about the good and bad of gaming community's and how they can become echo chambers with people regurgitating opinions rather then forming their own and how people should not be afraid to enjoy what they want to enjoy, even if it goes against the mainstream. We talk about midnight launchers and discovering games yourself in the shops

Ram then talks about his early impressions of Atomic Heart (2023). Set in an alternate-timeline Soviet Union with what feels like some it has been very heavy influenced by Bioshock Infinite. Some fun gameplay but also some awful characters

Notes

The nanny state stopping people launchers themselves out of a trebuchet

Explore a world where robots have gone mad in an alternate USSR in Atomic Heart

We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on 21st May 2026, at 18:30 GMT+1 either on YouTube or Twitch
