If it's like an instructional video/podcast, or something else that's mainly for the information, I can sometimes speed it up a bit. If it's well produced and coherent enough it's rarely a problem to bump it up to 1.5x and still follow along. But I would never do that if my aim is to actually enjoy the content. The sheer thought of speeding up something like Welcome to Night Vale would be blasphemous.

I usually listen to The Flophouse (a comedic bad movie podcast) and The Evolution of Horror (an analytical horror movie podcast). Can recommend both but if you don't like the comedy in The Flophouse you wont get much out of it.

Remember Me is a great game. One of the few games I've actually considered to learn how to speedrun (a weird urge I get sometimes even though I suck at speedrunning).

I remember enjoying my playthrough of Hunted: The Demon's Forge (61, PC). One of those games I dug out from the bottom of my backlog pile when I was bored once. Can't even remember when I bought it but I used to buy a lot of dirt cheap games on the Steam Sales. It's a ridiculously generic copy of other edgy power fantasy titles, but the gameplay was solid and fun enough to keep me going.

Wasn't that a Futurama joke?

I would also love some new Film & 40s but I can't imagine the hoops they would have to jump through to record an episode. It seemed to be difficult enough to sync all streams when they talked over Ubisoft Forward (or was it the PS5 reveal).

It was fun theorycrafting about different builds in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and I enjoyed the first chapter of the story.

Was going to say something about Mass Effect: Andromeda but I actually enjoyed most of that game (years after the release, but still)

I have also been weirdly enticed by SnowRunner after seeing Alex play it. I'm not usually into driving games but it seems to have a combination of relaxing exploration and rewarding problem solving that I need to try some day.

The only game I'm currently playing that's mildly outside my comfort zone is Faeria. I've been trying out some card games before but always ended up feeling frustrated and stupid. Faeria is a bit more beginner friendly (so far) and I like it a lot.

I hate "stealth" in games so it was an easy choice for me. Sitting in a corner waiting for a vision cone to point away long enough for you to sprint to another corner... nope

Outlast. I've been meaning to play through it for a long time but could always manage about 1 hr before giving up. It has a strong start but playing hide-and-seek in total darkness waiting for a cheap jump scare gets old fast. I finally managed to complete it last week and at least the story was pretty decent.

I love to re-watch movies with either fun or informative commentator tracks so I will go with Film & 40s. It's pretty fiddly to set up (find the movie, preferably the right version, line up the audio and get a good mix between the movie and the commentator track) so I understand if its not the most downloaded podcast ever. But I would still love to see more of it in the future.
