What it actually feels like to have your partner make a video game as a love letter to you, and why Pablo says the more valuable thing was the two of them landing their dream job
The moment they realised Nocturnals was going to be a career and not just a passion project
The new companion system: characters who travel with you, whose interests sometimes conflict, and who can be absent from your playthrough entirely
Choosing where to go, including the slaughterhouse, and why location choice makes each player's story their own
Keeping Ted grounded while adding stealth, because he's a scared young man and not James Bond
Writing characters who are so closely based on yourselves that a fan wiki lists Ted and Diego as a real couple living in Cornwall
Meeting Izzy, the bratty new companion voiced by Max's little sister, plus Randy and Maria
The lessons from the first game's spaghetti code, and how better organisation now means a dialogue change takes three seconds instead of a re-render
Playtesting revelations, including the friend who kept walking straight into the cannibals
How Pablo's soundtrack is evolving: real instruments, proper software, and recurring character motifs this time around
Why Cacti Coast is worth the wait to 2027, and what the extra time buys, including localisation, mobile done properly from the ground up, and Ted's journal system
The relationship question: how do you run a business, ship a game and stay boyfriends? Areas of responsibility, honest expectations, and a hard stop at the end of the working day

(feat. Dr Xavier Ho)https://bargainbingaymer.com/f/the-state-of-lgbtqia-gaming-in-2026-with-xavier-ho

Where queer representation has gone: why the good stuff has been relegated to indies while AAA plays it safe
The "quiet chill" — Gayming Magazine's Robin Gray going from 20+ awards sponsors to four or five, and storefront Pride features vanishing
Shadow banning, age verification, and the itch.io/PayPal delisting that made queer adult content unsearchable and unsellable
Why the tabletop and TTRPG scene is thriving where digital is struggling — and how it got safer after 2013
Discord's age verification problem for people who aren't out
What good queer representation actually looks like: Mitch wants big, loud, memorable and unmissable; Xavier makes the case for slice-of-life (We Are OFK); Davey wants rebellion
Where to actually find queer gaming spaces in Melbourne right now — including ACMI's long-running women and non-binary game nights
The funding problem: devs literally relocating interstate to qualify for different grants

Xavier Ho)https://bargainbingaymer.com/f/lets-yap-xbox-layoffs-black-flag-remake-more
Davey, Mitch and Xavier get into the news that's actually mattering right now: Microsoft cutting 3,200 Xbox jobs and spinning off Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs. Is this the end of AAA as we know it — or the start of a proper double-A renaissance?

In this episode:

What everyone's been playing — Sunderfolk (Xavier's D&D-style party game), NieR: Automata (Mitch's philosophy homework), and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake (Davey's current obsession)
The Xbox reckoning — 3,200 jobs, four studios spun off, and whether Compulsion, Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs are actually better off free
Is gaming heading for another crash? Davey brings up the 1983 E.T. moment and asks whether GTA 6 could be the harbinger
The double-A renaissance argument — why Gen Z doesn't care about photorealism and why the middle tier is where the best games are coming from
Sony's tone-deaf social media moment — because reading the room is hard
A packed Release Radar covering every game landing before end of July: Fading Echo, Tears of Metal, Avatar Legends, Disgaea Mayhem, Dino Blade (yes, a Souls-like where you're a Spinosaurus with a sword), Ronin, Splatoon Raiders, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Halo Campaign Evolved, BloodRayne, Sextet, Mistfall Hunter, Truxton Extreme, and Xenoblade Chronicles X
The Bargain Watch List: Xavier flags the Non-Binary Coded Games Steam Fest (running now) and the "Figuring It Out" itch bundle of queer identity novellas and short stories

The Lylat Wars story: why Australia got a different name, how Star Fox 64 launched the Rumble Pak, and the sequel that was finished but never released

Mitch's honest verdict on the 1997 original: genuinely inventive branching-path design, "hideous" graphics, and villains who all sounded suspiciously fabulous

RIP Falco, lost in the very first level (famously)

Everything you need to know about the 2026 remake: Velan Studios' shot-for-shot glow-up with a new voice cast, real-time cinematics, orchestral score and 60fps

The big debate: is $99.95 AUD fair for a shot-for-shot remake of a 29-year-old game? ($84.95 on the eShop, $89 at JB Hi-Fi)

Slippy Toad voice discourse, hot Falco takes, and why remakes might be the smartest way to introduce a new generation to classic franchises

Davey's plea to Nintendo: give us a proper sequel, and remake Star Fox Adventures while you're at it

The boys go full investigative journalism on the economics of it all: why pressing a disc costs cents, who actually pockets more when you buy digital, and why Sony has always hated the pre-owned market. Plus the environmental angle nobody agrees on, with one study saying discs are 100 times more carbon intensive and another saying the exact opposite, and the genuinely nuanced (drink!) conclusion that the greenest game you can buy is a second-hand disc from the very bargain bins this move is about to kill.

Then it's a proper pros-and-cons showdown. True ownership, preservation and price competition versus instant access, convenience and the fact that digital distribution is the reason most queer indie games exist at all. The conversation gets real about deplatforming, payment processor pressure on Itch and Steam, and shadow banning of queer content, because when digital is the only copy, delisting can mean erasure.

Also in this episode: Davey falls for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (the cozy JRPG that screams $45 but costs $90), Mitch grabs NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition on Switch 2 for just $22 AUD, the Release Radar covers Moonlight Peaks, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Digimon Story Time Strangers, Echoes of Aincrad, Palworld 1.0, Ascend to Zero and Dtopia, and the Bargain Watchlist rounds up the Steam Summer Sale, PlayStation's July Savings and the eShop's shockingly cheap Final Fantasy VII deals. All prices in beautiful Australian dollarydoos.

The 90-minute train journey in 2019 that turned into Gayming Magazine
A behind-the-scenes preview of the Gayming Awards 2026 and the World of Wonder partnership
Trixie Mattel, Dawn, Erica Ishii, Rock M Sakura and Farrah Moan are building (and giving away) a gaming PC
The Gayming Foundation and what "ethical capitalism" looks like in practice
The hard stuff: industry layoffs hitting diverse staff hardest, the collapse of corporate Pride support, and why Robin is genuinely considering going back to print
Why Robin is a proud champion of Easy Mode (and would call his own podcast that)
The Sims, Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead 2 are the games that shaped him, plus the open letter to Rockstar that actually changed GTA

Depending on when you press play, the Gayming Awards may be days away or freshly wrapped. Either way, the winners go up on Gayming's socials, and Robin makes a great case that the show is worth watching regardless.

The hard stuff: industry layoffs hitting diverse staff hardest, the collapse of corporate Pride support, and why Robin is genuinely considering going back to print
Why Robin is a proud champion of Easy Mode (and would call his own podcast that)
The Sims, Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead 2 are the games that shaped him, plus the open letter to Rockstar that actually changed GTA

Depending on when you press play, the Gayming Awards may be days away or freshly wrapped. Either way, the winners go up on Gayming's socials, and Robin makes a great case that the show is worth watching regardless.

Checkpoint Gaming pioneered queer gaming media in Australia, and this is the story of how it happened. In this episode:

How Checkpoint Gaming came to exist on Joy 94.9, and why a queer gaming show on the radio felt like such a radical idea in 2013
Elliot's journey from fresh-out-of-university superfan to running content at the station
The moment Checkpoint won a National Broadcasting Award and went national on the Community Radio Network, now heard on 20+ stations across Australia
Getting flown to LA to preview LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
The PAX Australia moment that reminded them why it all matters, and the mother and child who changed Elliot's perspective on the show's impact
Why queer gaming media still matters in 2026, and how the industry has changed (and hasn't)
Elliot's three most influential games.
His pile of shame: every single BioWare game he's never finished (Mass Effect fans, brace yourselves)

Plus: Davey shares how hearing Checkpoint on Joy 94.9 while driving into Melbourne in 2017 was his first introduction to queer Melbourne, and why that moment stuck with him.

And the Release Radar covers everything landing in the next fortnight, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2, Subnautica 2 Early Access, Forza Horizon 6, Darksiders Remastered, Paralives, and the Star Fox 64 remake announcement.

How to Find the Best Game Deals (feat. Pragmata, Red Dead 2, Hades & More)https://bargainbingaymer.com/f/is-it-a-bargain-how-to-find-the-best-game-deals
In this episode, the boys break down every tier of game bargain hunting, from full-price AAA releases to 95% off Steam sales, and debate whether the price tag actually reflects the value.

They dig into:

New release AAA pricing — is $110 AUD ever justified? (Pragmata, Pokopia)
The digital vs physical debate and why physical media might be making a comeback
When does a new release become a bargain? (Clair Obscure, Split Fiction, Fallout 4)
Bonafide bargains of the moment: Red Dead Redemption 2 at $29, Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 at $29.68, and Resident Evil 2 Remake at $13.73
Indie game pricing — what's fair to pay queer and indie developers?
Why Nintendo first-party titles never, ever go on sale (and why that's outrageous)
Where to find the real hidden bargains in Australian bricks and mortar retail

Plus: the boys recap their nerve-wracking live radio debut on Checkpoint Gaming at the Victorian Pride Centre, St Kilda — two pints of Dutch courage and all.
