    Mar 30

    Little Pickle Big Deal

    Pickle works seven days a week at a funeral home and delivering pizzas, but still somehow carves out time for cozy games, climbing walls, and learning languages. In this episode we talk about how she balances nonstop work with her love of simulation games like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Moonstone Island, Sticky Business, and Tiny Bookshop, plus why Valorant and deckbuilders still have her heart. We get into her passion for ASL, Spanish, and Japanese, her decision to pursue a third degree in Japanese Language & Culture, and her dream of living in Japan someday. Pickle also opens up about her past addiction and recovery, how games, music, travel, and rock climbing help her stay grounded, and what she wishes people really understood about her story. Near the end, Faye jumps in for a hyperfixation corner, going full info-dump on her latest obsession while Pickle reacts from the friend seat. Cozy vibes, real talk, and a lot of “little pickle” lore in one episode.

  4. Finding Home in Other Worlds

    Mar 2

    Finding Home in Other Worlds

    What does it mean to belong — especially when you’ve never fully felt at home anywhere? In this episode, we explore identity, creativity, and the unexpected role video games can play in shaping who we are. Our guest shares their experience of being fully Filipino, raised in the Middle East, and later moving to the Philippines — yet never quite feeling fully part of either culture. We talk about constructed belonging, quiet personalities, and learning that home can be built through shared values rather than geography. We also dive into creativity — from childhood dreams of becoming an artist, to stepping away under external pressure, earning a tech degree, and ultimately returning to design. Because sometimes you stop drawing, but you never stop being a creator. And finally, we discuss gaming — discovering community, patience, storytelling, and why intentional play can be more meaningful than endless scrolling. This episode includes a focused AMA segment, a name origin breakdown, and Faye’s Hyperfixation Segment. If you’ve ever felt in between cultures, careers, or versions of yourself — this conversation is for you.

    TNF - Guest: Joey aka T_Tmouse - Shakespeare rolls for initiative!

    This week we dive into storytelling, spellcraft, and scares with our guest — an English major turned Dungeon Master, practicing witch, and horror movie club host. We explore how Shakespeare shapes their approach to D&D, their journey with witchcraft, and why horror hits differently in a group. Faye brings her latest hyperfixation: makeup, and we wrap things up by deciding which horror movie we’d recommend to Shakespeare for D&D inspiration — and the winner was Scream.
