This is honestly such a lovely examination of @funfactorpod.com and what makes it so special to me and @tyschalter.com. Pete’s a king.

Today I wrote a bit about @funfactorpod.com by @tyschalter.com and @aidanmoher.com. I have written about this excellent magazine-focused podcast before, but having been listening to the latest eps today, I wanted to do so again.

It is a good!

Today on the channel: a game that is not, in any way, Tetris, despite its name, but still a cracking puzzler and one of my faves on N64 nonetheless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsA-...

This tallies with my past experiences, yes (I got stuck on Golgorand Execution Site and thought "I wonder if grinding will help", and it most definitely did), and I have little doubt that it will be the same with the new one.

I immediately followed it up with Rise of the Third Power which has become legitimately one of my favourite RPGs I've ever played. This game is REAL good. I was sad to learn the writer has moved on from games, but this is one hell of a legacy to leave behind. moegamer.net/2025/09/28/r...

Rise of the Third Power: like FFVI never left - MoeGamer

Rise of the Third Power by Stegosoft is a narrative-centric RPG with beautiful pixel art, spectacular music and a thought-provoking story.

Pete has done a wonderful blog post and FAQ on the Multisystem2, really great and very helpful for new and existing users 👍

Pete Davison @moegamer.net · 3d

Also want to give a shoutout to the excellent MiSTer Multisystem 2 from @heber-limited.bsky.social and @retrocollective.co.uk. Might be the best couple of hundred quid I've ever spent on a games console.

Aidan and Ty have one of the best podcasts around with Fun Factor, particularly if you're an ageing nerd like me who misses magazines (and still reads old ones on the toilet)

Aidan Moher @aidanmoher.com · 3d

It’s FunFactor Fuuuuuuuuesday!

On this episode of @funfactorpod.com, @tyschalter.com and dig into rumours of Square leaving Nintendo for Sony, Bill Donahue’s height, personality-driven games media, and, of course, a deep dive into Game Players’ review of *in the Resident Evil voice* Resident Evil.

try again, GOG

An email subject line from GOG.com, which reads "SILENT HILL f OUT NOW", followed by the summary "Experience daily life as a blue-collar spaceship salvager."

That is not a description of Silent Hill f, if that wasn't obvious.

I remember being incredibly impressed at him taking ownership of his behaviour -- you can even see a comment from me in the archive! -- and consequently very disappointed when I next ran into him and he was abrasive, abusive and had taken to harassing people with multiple accounts.

Guy's an arse.

Something folks may find interesting about the... recent situation. This was posted in 2020 after TWRM alienated a big chunk of the folks who wrote for him by... well, acting like a cockwomble. web.archive.org/web/20201004...

About a year later, it was deleted, and he was back to his old tricks.

"An Open-Letter to the Editor: I am Pokey Minch" | The Well-Red Mage

That's me. This is a candid admission. It's time to come clean and take a break, an opportunity for self-reflection.
