Melonmancy Podcast

Wizards and watermelons! We play tabletop, video games, and talk about those things + more on our podcast. No filter.

It's not that kind of chair

GAMERS, we're finally back on the regular recording schedule. Just in time to make fun of the Wolverine fart gas. Don't let the handholding distract you though, there's plenty of other reasons why this game sucks and why Sony is trying to deceive everyone into buying it. All of that and much more in today's episode.

I am AI-pilled like you wouldn't believe

GAMERS, I can explain! This episode is long overdue as @Dielan@shitposter.world has been on vacation with the family! Treat yourself to an extra long episode of the Melonmancy podcast. Holy shit we let this one go on. We had a lot to talk about.

Two posts in particular get taken out of context often, they are – This post arguing the need for assimilationThis post comparing culling wolf populations to protect livestock to deporting homeless migrants from cities that have nowhere for them to goVideoGamesCritic.com a new site that uses math to average user and critic scores in a way that benefits gamers and disadvantages shitty bloggers

We called it, again.

GAMERS, Its been a whole month since we've posted and so much has happened. The Xbox layoff rumors are no longer rumors, the media bias for Sony is showing strong, and Nintendo is continuing to double down on anime tiddies. Get the hell in here.

Buy and hold on all the electronics you think you need NOW

GAMERS, I hope you're ready to polish off those backlogs cuz this shit is not getting any cheaper. In this episode we talk price hikes. Our resident Marathon expert @skoomadealer@shitposter.world finally played the new Marathon. Also UI designers in the industry might be smoking crack.

I never want to rip another CD again, but I know I will.

GAMERS, let me influence you in kicking Spotify to the curb. Also what the hell are those Steam Deck prices? All that and more in today's episode. We tried to keep it short.

It's been a big two weeks for @Skooma_Dealer@shitposter.world

GAMERS, we have a new game of the year contender on our hands. Cheap, indie, emotional, fun, and it's a solitaire game? Meanwhile corporate bloggers are raving about some cringe piece of shit called Mixtape. Has the world gone insane? Was the new Mortal Kombat movie any good? Why did we bring up fighting games again? This episodes' all over the place, which is exactly where it needs to be.

How did Sony and MS even get to this point man

GAMERS, we missed our last recording day only to come back to see the absolute comedy of how PS vs Xbox is going. Also apperently NTE has HANDHOLDING BEFORE MARRIAGE? Scandalous. I also never want to see a magnet again.

Turns out subversion isn't required to make a good movie

GAMERS, we totally skipped our last recording day and today you find out why. Dielan went to go watch Project Hail Mary in theaters while Vic juggled Crimson Desert between his regular duties. We have a lot to say about both of these things, plus more!

Begun the goon wars have

GAMERS, is your favorite fan service game at risk? Can Marathon afford to settle for 2nd place? Is anybody really surprised Highguard is shutting down? Also what the hell are LADS fans doing? All this and more in episode 121.

Plz join my Steam group (and try Valour)

GAMERS, this isn't the first time we've commented on a Discord exodus, but with some luck it may be the last. @Dielan@shitposter.world actually spent a while looking into the state of Discord alternatives, three of which we will go into some depth in this episode.
