Never take the blackpill
GAMERS, are you ready for the handheld era? Why disappoint yourself with AAA nonsense when you can just play old games, emulated or decomp'd?

MP#129 - This Is My Idle Animation
It's not that kind of chair
GAMERS, we're finally back on the regular recording schedule. Just in time to make fun of the Wolverine fart gas. Don't let the handholding distract you though, there's plenty of other reasons why this game sucks and why Sony is trying to deceive everyone into buying it. All of that and much more in today's episode.

MP#128 - A Waste of Tokens
I am AI-pilled like you wouldn't believe
GAMERS, I can explain! This episode is long overdue as @Dielan@shitposter.world (mailto:Dielan@shitposter.world) has been on vacation with the family! Treat yourself to an extra long episode of the Melonmancy podcast. Holy shit we let this one go on. We had a lot to talk about.

In this episode we talk about DHH again, and as we point out in the episode the vast majority of the hate DHH gets requires a bad-faith reading of his blog. Two posts in particular get taken out of context often, they are
