I showed you my dongle please respond

Vic has returned! Just in time for the writers strike to end, but do you know what it is they actually won? Also Dielan has completely embrased Transfarring, the Kojima lifestyle. Listen to us rant about it.

MP#75 - The Next Skyrim Is Just Skyrim

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 02:26:03 GMT

DISCUSS THE EPISODE: https://melonmancy.net/mp-75-the-next-skyrim-is-just-skyrim

Got another job for you 621, I'm sending you episode 75 of the Melonmancy Podcast. Give it a listen.

How can a single year in videogames have so many bangers? Come one come all for an Armored Core veteran's first impressions of AC6, and an Armored Core newcomer's take on the whole game. Dielan will catch up and finish up the game before the next episode, time doesn't grow on trees. Also what is DE smoking with Warframe 1999?

Our boy Vic couldn't make again, so you're stuck with @dielan@shitposter.club and @skooma_dealer@shitposter.club instead

MP#74 - Arch btw

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 01:40:53 GMT

We are living in a world where we now have to ask if the games blogger that wrote that shitty article you just read is an AI or just an idiot.

Welcome to the KotakuIsOverParty, today we're going to make fun of some articles, give Steam Deck first impressions, and more!

Our boy Vic couldn't make it today, so you're stuck with @dielan@shitposter.club and @skooma_dealer@shitposter.club instead

MP#72 - Button Mashy Garbage for Weebs

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 19:00:34 GMT

Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public opinion, welcome to the trial of Ralph Panebianco

This episode is super delayed to get edited. In this episode we give a detaied first impression of Final Fantasy 16, as well as break down with evidence why ShillUp is totally wrong about this game.

This episode took so long to edit because Dielan went on to finish the game before editing the episode. Just could not put it down.

(Dielan is the editor)

MP#71 - Like a Landlord Raising the Rent

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 22:39:41 GMT

This episode was supposed to come out last week oops

In today's episode (recoded June 6th) The Sony State of Play just happened and today's contoverseys with Twitch and Reddit had only just started. You can expect updates on those topics in our next episode since things got so much worse after we recorded this. You can also expect our usual ramblings about what we saw at the Sony show, including this bastard of a Marathon reboot. Also fuck Konami.

SHOW NOTES: https://melonmancy.net/mp-66-hippogriff-in-the-room

We promised we wouldn't spend so much time editing these episodes so they would come out on time but our hottakes on this one needed to be extra crisp.

Vast majority of this episode is weighing in on the recent release of Hogwarts Legacy, for the sake of the listeners in 2030 binging our show like some kind of nerd time-capsule we even explained the context!

MP#64 - Season Finale

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 01:35:54 GMT

SHOW NOTES: melonmancy.net/mp-64-season-finale

This is a brief set of announcements at the beginning of the recording, followed by about 4 hours of unhinged drunken rambling with multiple guests (Including @dreamcycler@shitposter.club and @helsech@shitposter.club and @ironee212@shitposter.club - thanks so much for coming!)

TL;DR on said announcements:

- We are going on vacation again this year. Our next episode will be sometime in January!
- You can find out when exactly we will return by following @dielan@shitposter.club or joining [our forum](melonmancy.cafe)
- There's no much to see on the forum right now, but we are keeping it up maybe forever so there will be thriving discussion there eventually

No amount of typing on this post about what we talked about this episode will do it justice. If you do choose to listen past the announcements do us a favor and with a modern podcasting app - such as [Fountain](fountain.fm) please make clips of your favorite parts and post them!
