  • Could be great

    I love listening to Niomi but I can’t stand some of the guests. I’m into gaming I don’t care about your pronouns, medical conditions or sexuality, just games! It’s so boring to hear someone say ‘I like this game because I’m A-sexual, have ADHD, I’m Atistic’ 🤮 didn’t ask don’t care. Sadly it’s going to become another gaming podcast to avoid!

    Interesting, despite not even being a gamer! Love the news update, especially Microsoft the only company showing up to Gamescom. Looking forward to hearing the results of that.
