Bsky account for Tony Coles's Substack and his podcast. Relentlessly spamming links to make himself feel better about the spiralling collapse of everything he holds dear. affectionatediscourse.substack.com

Oh look! Another podcast! This one full of talking passionately about #Avowed and #TheOuterWorlds2. He really does love #Obsidian, you know. Just not quite as much as Buck Rogers.

Spamtime! Listen to a passionate bore waffle about #S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2, #SniperElite: Resistance and #Atomfall as if he has a single clue about what he's talking about. I promise it's really good, actually: shows.acast.com/affectionate...
