Three gaymers, three partners, zero of whom play video games. This week we get into the guilt, the negotiating, the family calendar, and whether you would actually want a partner who games at all. bargainbingaymer.com/f/gaming-wit...

Most dating apps offer man, woman, and sometimes other. Kevin built Gamily so you pick as many gender identifiers as you want for yourself, and as many as you want for who gets to see you. He says it was the hardest technical problem in the whole app. youtu.be/1wBoxSJ9CBk

Someone built a dating app for queer gamers, and the founding idea is a good one: the best way to get to know someone is to play with them. Kevin from Gamily joins us to talk about how he built it, and why he will not sell your data to do it. youtu.be/1wBoxSJ9CBk

Played San Francisco Rush Extreme Racing again this week and captured some of it. Absolute favourite of mine as a teenager, and I had forgotten how much punishment it hands out. Every corner is another chance to launch yourself off a bridge.

24hrs on the Silver ring: Halo: Campaign Evolved is still fun, still gorgeous, still AU$80 for a fresh coat of paint. Quality mode drives like a Warthog in a sand dune. Performance mode still stutters. New to Halo? Great start. Otherwise? Hmm. More on the Bargain Bin Gaymers pod 🎙️
