    Have been looking for good podcasts with game and hardware recommendations and this is my favourite so far. It’s relatable, not too serious, and light on the puffery that seems to plague most other podcasts I’ve tried in this genre. It hits all the right notes for fun and nostalgia whilst being informative. Looking forward to hearing more.
