Maybe we need you to start posting these the day before every show @Skedaddle. Though it’s unlikely we’d touch every item going, but it’s really helpful!

Awesome podcast @Sikamikanico. One thing though, caught it again a couple weeks ago … Zhuge is a Chinese name pronounced sort of like “jew” + “guh”. Not zed huge or whatever. His avatar on Twitter is a famous Chinese historical figure, Zhuge Liang.
Just a friendly correction! Cheers!

@Sikamikanico on tonight’s podcast can you talk about Soul Hackers 2 coming to Xbox on August 26th. The the first Atlus game to be released on Xbox since Persona 4 Arena Ultimax back in 2014. This is not a question but it would be nice to know how yourself, @Shpeshal_Nick and @Doncabesa feel about the Xbox community supporting these games even if it is something they would not usually play.
Also the reports about an upcoming LEGO football game by Sumo Digital and an open world LEGO racing game by 2K/Visual Concepts.

Good time to suggest to you to become a Patreon, and you can ask those questions directly? Also, there are Superchats.

@Shpeshal_Nick i don’t know if you’ll have the time to answer this but i would like to know what you think about the last Crytek’s acquisition rumors.
If you could find a Little space to talk about It during the “rumor mill” It could be very appreciated.
There are three different rumors
“Crytek getting bought by Microsoft and a new Crysis reboot : r/GamingLeaksAndRumours” https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/ntoa8j/crytek_getting_bought_by_microsoft_and_a_new/
“Jeff Grubb has heard of 3 studios being acquired by Microsoft. : r/GamingLeaksAndRumours” https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/nwzc9j/jeff_grubb_has_heard_of_3_studios_being_acquired/

Thanks mate.
I’ve said it before I think but I’d love to see time stamps on the podcast. I’m not sure if you’re doing it on certain platforms, but I use overcast which pulls from apple podcasts and stamps don’t exist. It would really be helpful and a QOL for me and many others.
There stamps on the scroll bar
Not on Overcast. I’ve never had an issue with stamps with any other podcasts that uses them.
I’d love an example if possible? We use Soundcloud as a platform that pushes to all the other podcast platforms, but I don’t see a way on including timestamps in Soundcloud.
I’m not sure what you’re looking for in terms of an example, but many podcasts I listen to use them on Apple Podcasts. Minnmax, ILP, Into the Aether, Easy Allies, Nextlander, GI. Basically, it sets up a link in the app and you can just click it to move to certain sections you want to listen to or skip. It was incredibly helpful this week to avoid a lot of Elden Ring chatter.
I guess by example I mean a link to a podcast where timestamps are evident, and how they’re displayed.
If you have an iPhone with podcasts (or the overcast app), search for one of the podcasts I listed and download an episode. Play it and you’ll be able to see how the time stamps work. I’m not sure how else to explain it, maybe someone else has a better way?
I’m only familiar with Nextlander out of those but it is particularly good as far as I can tell. It has chapters as well as timestamps so you can quickly jump between segments (note the left and right arrows above the seek bar):
And here’s what it looks like in the “Chapters” overview (of note, you can actually skip past the advertisements, not sure how they can get away with that):
Bonus timestamps:
I wasn’t familiar with this feature until I started listening to this podcast but I really love it and wish all podcasts did this. I listen to another podcast that’s 3-5 hours long and often wish I could skip past all the fighting game and MMO talk.
All that said, I do understand that you guys are working on providing all this content in addition to your day jobs so it’s totally fair that you don’t have the time to gussy up the podcasts for like 4 people (if Soundcloud even offers this function). For reference, the app is Pocket Casts on Android.

This is what I’m referring to exactly! Many podcasts aren’t quite as detailed in the chapters/stamps but even a few really helps.

Thanks guys! I’m going to experiment with the latest episode and see if I can make it work.
EDIT: And yeah, from what I can see, Soundcloud doesn’t support timestamps.

I saw the early version of this when only Grubb had been done yet
I told Jess to tell Predrag he has to put Nick on the left, because his head would be so close to his life partner, Jeff. He told me Nick already insisted on being on the right, because it was Ted Danson
…why did that matter, Nick??? Your head was going over his anyway!!!
Anyway, it came out amazing
This is Nick’s version, he took a picture of him making that same face as the original and it’s frigging hilarious.
