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.

I'll be recording an episode on the Super Nintendo in a few hours with some cool people!
I already asked my discord but I figured I'd ask here too. If you have any SNES memories or thoughts you'd like to share, reply to this and I'll read them on the episode! (Or at least as many as I can 😅)

Had a great time at Atari Party again this year. Got in quality time with AvP on the Jaguar (always look forward to that), played the new DigDug and enjoyed a few tracks of Super Sprint on the ST. Thanks again to @rectapete.bsky.social And here’s a little vid of the action!
