They are one of the co hosts two nerdy video game podcasts, Reignite and "Fun" & Games Podcast. They love gushing about Mass Effect, Carly Rae Jepsen and Venom among many other nerdy things.

Replaying Final Fantasy X along with the @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social community over the next 2 months. I’ve tried to play through this game 2 times previously & feel off. Both at different points and for no specific reason. Feels perfect on the NS2. Really enjoying it. Gonna see it thru this time.

The background is a wavy checkerboard pattern with light and dark green alternating. The center logo is "Geeks & Grounds" in hand-written bubble style letters with a coffee mug that has a controller silhouette on it. The letters are golden yellow, light purple, and a coral color alternating with each letter.
