This week I talk to Smiddy once again, thats Dave Schmidt for those who didnt listen to our last show. Smiddy wanted to talk about why he loves Five Parsecs from Home. Thats it, he loves it. We meander along and have a ramble chat about the things that occur to us. It is also the first reported usage of my actual paint mixer in a show. Usually I shake my paints by hand in the show, you may hear this, you deffo hear me tinkling my paint brush in my cup for sure, but this is a bonafide hearing of the electric mixer! I saw the opportunity and I took it! Hoping for the Oscar for best natural ambiance now.

This week I talk to Peter, who is a PATM discord member, fellow nerd, and also he has taken the dive into writing his own rules. I wont spoil any of the chat here but it was fun talking with him and I am sure I speak for all the listeners when we wish him all the best with his rule sets.

In the chat Peter brought up sustainable gaming. As I come up on my first decade in gaming it is a good opportunity to take stock of what I have learned and why I am still in love with it. Back in episode 150 through 153 we talked about how people may hobby effectively and sustainably during our life, I am sure we will revisit it soon, but it came up in the show and if you are not familiar with those shows, then it may be worth having a wee listen. Both Peter and I believe in this concept.

This week I talk to Barry from the Optimal Game State Youtube channel. In the show we do the usual hobby history dive, along with talking about Barry's Youtube channel, being an analytical force for good in the games he plays, and also we talk about Warcry Card Creator that Barry husbands. It was great talking to Barry, thanks to him for spending an hour chatting with us.
