Great guests, great host, great show
Love this podcast!
Wookash has a hand for what guests are interesting and is incredibly good at guiding conversations. I just love how natural and humerus he is. :D
I would like to see some guests that aren’t from the gaming industry.
Personally, I’d like to hear some more niche stuff, maybe some Emacs / editors. The Mini.nvim episode was awesome! Other programming languages like Swift could be cool too. Maybe even some BSD / operating systems, but not from a “we talk about Linux distros” that ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jason Rohrer Does Things Differently

Q: What were early indie distribution challenges before Steam?

Before Steam, developers often published on their own websites and used third-party processors like FastSpring; Rohrer describes the lack of easy distribution channels and how a few indie titles began gaining attention through small, niche communities.

Jason Rohrer Does Things Differently

Q: How did Passage influence discussions about games as art?

Passage pushed conversations about whether games can be art by showing a minimal, highly constrained experience that still conveyed emotional and thematic depth, prompting debates about interactive storytelling and the balance between authorial intent and player agency.

Jason Rohrer Does Things Differently

Q: What was the premise for Sleep is Death?

Sleep is Death is a turn-based two-player game where one player controls the main character and the other controls everything else in the world; players have 30 seconds per move to create the story and the world responds in turn, enabling open-ended, improvised storytelling.

What Makes a Good Physics Engine? | Erin Catto

Q: How do you balance performance and determinism when using multithreading in a physics engine?

Determinism is achieved by careful ordering and data structures such as bit sets, allowing parallel work to be combined into a single, deterministic result. The trade-off is complexity and testing burden; you must design for a single threaded path, then optimize the multithreaded path to preserve the same results, which is why bit sets and controlled synchronization are central.

What Makes a Good Physics Engine? | Erin Catto

Q: What were the motivations behind open-sourcing Box2D and how did that influence its growth?

The motivation was to make game physics accessible: provide a minimal, understandable sample that developers could study, modify, and reuse to build their own games. The openness, combined with practical examples like stacking boxes and simple constraints, spurred a community, led to widespread adoption, and inspired ongoing improvements rather than keeping the tech proprietary.
