I also second Pico8, tons of cool games over there!

You know what I like? People talking passionately about stuff they like. I also don't like ads. It's not that hard to figure out, not sure why you're coming in so hot.

Hearing people with passion explain things they're knowledgeable about is fun, enlightening, and interesting to me. Sue me.

While I'm at it, got any book recommendations?

Sounds awesome! On the list.

Then either is honestly a great choice, but the RG35XXSP does have a very slight feature advantage. But it does also have very clicky buttons (think original GPA SP but stiffer), so if you're a button-feel person then that might be a deciding factor.

Well the allure of Rhys Darby might be enough for me to stomach some of it. Time will tell though.

It's not though! I've done 500 episodes of my own podcast and we never charged for a single episode or ran a single ad. Not one single time. We have a Patreon, and it's optional.

And yes, I'm willing to pay for podcasts if I think they're worth paying for. I've donated to shows I enjoy and paid for others before. I see no issue with people getting paid for their work.

Very possible! The podcast host I use offers a few kinds of ad services so there's no telling. I don't use them so I'm not totally sure how they work, but I've seen the options when I log in.

I'm not sure it's a very good story but the fx and stuff all has so much heart that's it's hard to dislike it. Overall we're having a lot of fun with it, even when we're kind of laughing at it rather than with it.

Popping back in to say that this is a really good show! Going right into the regular rotation, thanks for doing what you do.

Interesting, guess they started running ads recently. I wonder if they'll begin injecting them into older shows eventually, I know some hosts offer that as a service.

No apology necessary! Many of these are still ending up on lists that may or may not get listened to one day :)

I'm looking to avoid doing that and avoid ad-driven shows in general, hence the original question. I have a few that I tolerate it on, but largely looking to avoid it where possible.
