  • Reviews, Recommendations, & Indie Games
    Dec 6 2023

    There's more media than anyone could consume in a lifetime. In this episode, Adam interviews Cory about reviews & recommendations. How do you discover what to play next? How seriously should you take it when someone recommends something? And what if someone recommends something that isn't for you? We also talk about Cory's relationship to indie games and how Adam kinda poisoned that well for a long time. Oops!
