In our second installment of the Small Business Starter Kit series - we’re tackling a topic that’s sometimes tricky, sometimes confusing, but ever-present: taxes. Hosts Austin and Jannese have an insightful conversation with entrepreneur Isabella Rosal who started 7th Sky Ventures , an exporter and distributor of craft spirits, beer, and wine. Having lived and worked in two different countries and started a company in a heavily-regulated field, Isabella is no stranger to navigating the paperwork-laden and jargon-infused maze of properly understanding taxes for a newly formed small business. Join us as she shares her story and provides valuable insight into how to tackle your business’ taxes - so they don’t tackle you.

1:01:11

The distant troglodyte descendants of Jamie and Marsh relive memories of the before-times and the joyous videogames that were once played, namely: 1000xResist, Type Help and Pathologic 3: Quarantine. Pathologic 3: Quarantine is the demo for a larger forthcoming game, and is harrowing in about every way it can be. 1000xResist is a brilliant game about many things, including generational trauma and big pigeons. Contains mild jumping. This is a good video deep dive into the game. Type Help is an information game with a killer discovery mechanic and a wicked mystery. Bloody devil! Tom Francis, who has the best sheets, and now an IGF Award for Excellence in Design, did a video review of Type Help, here . You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .

1:38:50

Tom S joins Marsh to be baffled by BAFTA noms, enjoy the chaotic departure from military fiction in Black Ops 6, put on a purple frenzied bone hat in Monster Hunter, and bolster our collection of severed tongues in Avowed like the nimdoots we are. The BAFTA website has been designed by maniacs. You can just put things in a list! In a text list! There wasn’t a problem to solve there! Why am I expanding subcategories and scrolling horizontally just to see six fucking names, you FIENDS? Tactical Breach Wizards deserves to win all the categories, but was only nominated for Best Game Design. Black Ops 6 is the silliest Call of Duty yet, and, not coincidentally, also the best. Monster Hunter is a series I will never understand, but I will admit that it looks cool to wallop the big lizards in Monster Hunter Wilds. Fungal fantasy RPG Avowed is a 7/10 (extremely complimentary). You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is made by Machine Games, also known for the Wolfenstein reboot, its sequels and some brilliant level packs for Quake and Quake 2.

Chris, Jamie, and friend of pod Paul Canavan squat doon in a cundie with a bottle of buckie and some (probably vegan) haggis tae blether aboot Scottish games and games that aren’t Scottish. We talk the excellent thrills, chills, and repeated drops off of oil rigs of fab walking sim Still Wakes The Deep, the hand crafted psychedelia of indie curio Judero, as well as the addictive properties of Xenotilt, the visceral Clinton jump scares of CODBLOPS6 and the ugly, bonkers world of Straftat (Straftat!

Chris, Senior Tom and Marsh convene to talk Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Diablo 4, Rise Of The Golden Idol, Xenotilt, Destiny 2 and then Chris talks about Dragon Age: Veilguard non-stop for about 45 minutes and it’s kind of incredible. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a game about cutting robots into many bits, or just two bits. Diablo 4 is a game about killing many things and number go up, but at what cost. Xenotilt is a pinball game that Jamie is now completely addicted to, thanks Chris. Rise Of The Golden Idol might be a tad disappointing. Dragon Age: Veilguard is a game about the Arcane Mark/Evil Greg dichotomy. Back Gold Teeth , Pale Tides , and buy Chris’ books here .

In which Tom Senior, Marsh Davies and Jamie Brittain convene on a perfectly normal and entirely non-epoch defining night in early November 2024 to discuss God Of War: Ragnarök at length, as well as providing various witterings about trailers good, names bad, books read and John Wayne movies for some reason.

Jamie kindly permits Marsh to talk about Gold Teeth, the tabletop roleplaying game he’s Kickstarting, which is just an excuse to ramble at length about roleplaying games more broadly with excellent chums Jim Rossignol and Chris Lackey. Gold Teeth ! It’s a game of piracy and occult horror! Strange Studies of Strange Stories – an excellent podcast that deftly unpicks literary tales of the sinister, supernatural or simply weird. Well worth a sub . Patton Oswalt thinks so! Strange Stories is also soon to be a roleplaying game. Free League’s Alien RPG Mothership (and I don’t think it’s too spoilery to say that the time-loop module is Time After Time ) Call of Cthulhu Marvel Superheroes Gamma World Star Frontiers Broken Compass is the game which inspires the matching-dice mechanism of Strange Stories Daggerheart is the system developed to replace D&D for Critical Role Thistle & Hearth – a dice-less game Starforged – a GM-less game with extremely elaborate world generation The Quiet Year is a map game in which the Frost Shepherds are coming.

Episode 435: The Most Liminal You Can Be Is a Flume 1:24:56

Jamie and Marsh reel from Microsoft’s latest layoffs, mismanage time in Hades 2, paddle in the uncanny, chlorinated waters of Pools, devour the bite-sized city-building triumphs of Against the Storm, and indulge their flaws in The Thaumaturge. The last lay offs of 2024. Thankfully there won’t be any more of those! Phew!! Nathan Brown’s Hit Points newsletter which I incorrectly namechecked as Bullet Points. Look, there are only so many pithy game-related analogies to go around, ok? Hades 2 , the much anticipated ARPG sequel – perhaps not ideal for the time-poor? Destiny 2 is unintelligible at this point, but the guns still go bang. Animal Well is a pixelart indie Metroidvania with notes of Fez and Cocoon. Knytt and Within a Deep Forest are two excellent pixelart indie Metroidvania’s from yesteryear. You can find them in Nifflas’s archive here . POOLS is about vibing in weird swimming pools. Dreamcore is about vibing in weird swimming pools, and then being jump-scared. Against the Storm is a city-builder for people who don’t have the mental capacity for city-builders. The Thaumaturge could be the best 7/10 RPG of the year. Terrific character. The Royal Mob – Jamie’s TV show about orgies and dying of exposure. Judas is a roguelike shooter from Ken Levine’s studio, Ghost Story Games. You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .

Chris and Marsh discuss disappointing children’s entertainment, disappointing sales figures, anti-mnemonic naming choices, the rulebreaking delight of card game Balatro, the dishonourable cheeses of Honor Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3, and return once more to Night Country. AI wrote cheques that Willy Wonker simply could not cash . Immortals of Aveum may not have sold well, but it really opens up your pores. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is fine, probably, but it isn’t Balatro. Balatro is Balatro, and Balatro is all. Apart from the large part of all which is made up of repeated, ever stranger playthroughs of Baldur’s Gate 3 . 20 Small Mazes and Sheepy: A Short Adventure are free and good. True Detective: Night Country is on HBO Max or whatever it’s calling itself now for tax reasons. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K.
