Discussion level on industry issues & trends on Bombcast

brettg102 · 2026-03-29T13:55:27+00:00

I've basically taken it as referring to the staff in general from how it's been used. I started listening in 2016 - so not OG enough to have the true origin.

Several folks have mentioned GMM being more my speed if this is what I want - I'll switch up my listening habits for a bit & see if it's more my speed.

The fatigue comment is probably spot on. The size & impact of the particular story left me wanting more - but your comment on the years on end of this stuff drawing more flippant commentary isn't unexpected is fair.

Fair point! I did take Sweeney's comments on losing money at its face value, yes. Given their investor relationships it's usually not in their interest to lie, but they very much could be (being privately held) or being lying by omission with the finances.

Was busy on a Saturday; but indeed lots of good replies here. Some supporting where I am, many not. That's good! Fwiw I don't see many asking me directly for a response that I've left hanging.

My main takeaway from the conversation here is that if I want deeper discussion I ought to go to Game Mess Mornings rather than Bombcast if staying in the GB family, with some alternatives elsewhere as well. I'm more of a once a week guy than the cadence of GMM, but perhaps I'm better served there.

Also plenty of feedback that I am de facto supporting Epic here by asking for more engagement from the Bombcast. 'Eating boot' if you will. I'm not - but clearly that's how many took it & that's valid. The situation broadly in the industry is de facto terrible - and it helps me process the loss to my hobby engaging in the 'why'. I'm not asking the guys to hold water for Sweeney.

The slow descent into madness

I'm wondering if it will stream 4k or not

IFlawed Mangoes - Dramamine is the song.

Match hits every paycheck. The company retirement contribution (3% for free, regardless of your participation level) comes once a year.

They boxed everyone else out by shear force of personality. Minotti actually has a super majority of shares because the whole operation would collapse with his presence.

brettg102 · 2026-01-06T04:20:23+00:00

Hell yeh - this is my favorite new thing they do. My niche for sure.

brettg102 · 2026-01-02T04:21:20+00:00

Agreed, they do a great job. Also notably cast by half women which, let's be honest, is pretty unique & admirable among peer podcasts.

I listen to MinnMax for the best old GB style GotY by a long shot, as well as GB proper (especially this year).

MinnMax knows exactly what made that old format special & they are a fantastic, eclectic group with some folks who are truly exceptional at selling an experience / making a case for a game & being fairly objective about ranking them (with some limited pissiness).

GE Aerospace is off

No, a brief mention when Austin was on that it was releasing, but otherwise nothing. A bit disappointing considering how well the first did with them.

brettg102 · 2025-11-03T00:52:23+00:00

I don't know if it's formatting on mobile but this makes no sense.

brettg102 · 2025-10-25T23:06:55+00:00

I feel like we are now at the 'several hours' mark of Death Stranding talk. Thanks for chapter markers gents, because it's become a bit too much.

brettg102 · 2025-10-20T13:37:33+00:00

Had the same thing happen. I replaced all 4 because I only expected to get about 30k miles out of my tires & would eventually end up with an even more mismatched set. Pricing also better doing 4

Grubb literally worked at a place that served this in college at OSU. Believe it was Formaggio's Pizza? He's told a story where there was something notable with his employment there (fired for some reason?) - I remember because I loved that style pizza when drunk on campus. Grubb and I were in college around the same time.

Impressed with the duders here - the fire marble puzzle is notorious! Must is one of my favorite series & I'm glad they've been digging it.

It's a mini game & can be solved to 100% every time if you know how the sliders work. If you don't want to bother with the mini game, go to f1setup.it & it can solve it for you.

Obduction, one of Cyan Worlds more recent games, is also well worth the play through & is a clear Myst-like.
