Don’t tempt me with a good time…
If you haven’t watched the video version of the pod in a while, I recommend giving this episode a shot! Our production has levelled up big time and I think it’s the best way to enjoy the show (with all due respect to our audio version, which will always be our main focus).
Well, she’s not in multiple games, and I’m troubled that I didn’t think of this. I spent so much time as a kid playing some of these on a library PC in the 90s.

a casket is has been lowered into a grave, colourful flowers on top. the tombstone is a yellow skateboard that reads 'live to ride' in green, with a white skull and crossbones and 'rip' in red and pink. a fellow skater in a green singlet and light blue shorts with a yellow mohawk and a man in a suit and shades are standing on either side of the skateboard tombstone with their heads bowed. other folks are standing around, grieving. clouds in the sky.

Hey, if you can read this, I could use your help! As the sole operator of Pixels and Polygons, reviews and recommendations are the most valuable and most challenging thing to manage. Reviews help raise awareness and improve visibility on sites, and give people an idea of trust in what they are getting. These reviews can help a small operation like mine in reaching a new and wider audience. This is where I need your help. Can you take a moment to rate and review my books and podcast on your favorite platforms? Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, GoodReads, etc. all have review and ratings driven algorithms that push and promote things with more (and positive) reviews. A few sentences about what you enjoy about any of my projects would be wildly appreciated and a huge help for me and the future of Pixels and Polygons.
Hey, can I get a minute of your time? This is something you could do that would help me immeasurably (and would help any small businesses you know). Thanks for your time!
