I've been on Bluesky for a bit now but I guess I never did a formal introduction. So what better time than now!

Hey all! I'm Josh and I'm the host of the Still Loading Podcast. Its a show about video games with a touch of game history thrown in there too.

Taking a short break from Wheel of Time since I binged the first two books back to back. I'm currently reading A Wrinkle in Time for the first time!

Been loving diving back into books after so long not actively reading.

Went to a local fall fest and my local library had a booth there that was giving out free books!

Picked up a free copy of A Wrinkle in Time!

Remember how I kept talking about the Metroidvania book I had in the works, and then it kinda dropped off the radar? I didn't lose interest. I was just working with a Legit Major Publisher (Dark Horse!) on turning it into the pilot release for a Press Run team-up: www.gamespot.com/articles/exp...

Explore The Origins Of Metroidvania In This New Retro Gaming Book

This new book will explore the history of the enduring metroidvania genre in video games.

I can totally understand that. I haven't read any of Sanderson's stuff but the idea of keeping track of two massive worlds makes me feel overwhelmed just thinking about it haha

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 1d

Oh man I would love that. If I can free up my schedule a bit more I may take you up on that!

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 1d

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll have to give the show a listen!

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 1d

It's my first time reading the series and I am completely hooked. Ive read the first two so far and I'm looking forward to started the third!

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 1d

Man if I had time I would start a Wheel of Time podcast just so I had an outlet to gush about how much I'm loving this series so far.

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 1d

I just finished book 2 of the Wheel of Time series. Holy shit what am ending. A ton of genuine surprises and just a great setup for the next one.

After 7 months of work, my latest project: a full English patch of Kingdom Hearts Mobile! You can play all 8 of these previously-lost mini-games, in English for the first time.

There's puzzle games, card games, rhythm games, and more, and even canon lore!

Thank you for the recommendations! I'll have to check some of these out!

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 3d

If you have any suggestions I'll give them a listen! So far all I've been doing is texting my reactions to what I've been reading to my uncle who is lending me the books haha.

They absolutely do! All of my copies of the Redwall series are in paperback and it feels weird if I find one that isn't haha

Josh | Still Loading Podcast @stillloadingpodcast.com · 3d

I have to edit podcasts tonight but all I wanna do is read. I'm almost done the 2nd Wheel of Time book and I wanna see how it ends 😭

I went to high school with the guy who plays Judomaster in Peacemaker, Nhut Le, and it's fuckin' surreal seeing someone from my small school working on something with James Gunn.

Just to note. I didn't speak with him really in HS, at most a passing hello, but still cool to see him doing cool shit.
