Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Join @dovetail.bsky.social and I as we wrap up our conversation around NINE SOLS! Taoism, the balance of perspective, a hyper-focused commitment in design and narrative to a thesis, and much more. Link in the replies! Thanks for listening, all. This, too, must end. TTFN! 131
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 15/08/2026The conversation around NINE SOLS begins! Part Metroidvania, part Souls-like, Nine Sols weaves the dichotomy of Science vs. Spirituality—in opposition, in harmony—throughout its revenge quest. It's absolutely brilliant.

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 10/08/2026A little break from the podcast isn't gonna stop me from posting Weird Controllers. Finally ordered one of these after having the tabs open for literally a year and change. Took a month to come in but finally did back in July. I really like it! 3D printing really has made genuine improvements. 050
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Hello — I am not dead yet! I am just very, very tired. Have a motivational (and sodium-overloaded) Garf 170
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I'm running low on my stash of Weird Controllers, but the Keyzen gets a shout-out. Azeron makes quality stuff. Only picked it up when I found a fella selling it + a Cyborg for the price of 1. The original, blank keys are a bit short/small, so I replaced (most of) them with taller caps. 120
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Our newest episode, AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MUSIC OF YASUNORI MITSUDA, is out now! Casual reactions, music theory analysis, and much more this week. And don't worry—we touch on hidden gems and non-game music, too! Ft. co-host Nick of @fngcpod.bsky.social .

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 14/06/2026More weird...mice? I switched to trackballs in 2025 and have come to love them. They've come a long way from the crummy, old-school thumb balls from the early 2000s. This is a "gaming" one, which imo only serves to inflate its price. Smoothest one I own, though. Very handy for audio editing, too! 130
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Another "weird controller" installment: the Logitech G13, long since discontinued. Still works perfectly well with modern games. Everything is mappable, so you could, in theory, map WASD on the keys and use the stick for...whatever else. The stick angle is its Achilles heel imo (played Kena on this) 170
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 07/06/2026They weren't kidding when they said the 3D remake is the best (official) English localization. 281
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 05/06/2026KENA: BRIDGE OF SPIRITS is out now! Many who picked up this deceptively cute title learned of the Souls inspiration quickly—but what does Kena have to say as a game itself? Discussion on combat, character writing, and more.

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I am a *huge* fan of Weird Controllers. I'm using this weird fella now to practice—"practice"—for a local Smash tournament in July. Unfortunately I am ass, but I'm looking forward to having fun with cool people. Do you have a favorite weird controller? 371

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 17/05/2026The 240p Test Suite is an amazing tool if you want your CRTs looking primo. It might also be the worst retro gaming-related thing to have ever happened to me 110
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 11/05/2026The final episode on CHRONO CROSS is here! Many have said that this game "undoes" Chrono Trigger. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Join us to discuss the dangers of nihilism, Scenario Guys, the Chrono Series's most important character, and more.

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Delightful vibe on this one! The Patreon folks voted for Grandia (over Pragmata!) this month, and I always love filling in a JRPG blindspot. Killer little cinematic intro! 2375
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 06/05/2026It was the cruelest of tricks to have been sent this and believe, for just a moment of childlike bliss, that such a thing could be mine. (It sold in March) 221

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Sega really took the Billy Mays Approach to creating the Sonic 3D Blast soundtrack "And there you have it! Jamming chiptunes that capture the essence of the Genesis from none other than Senoue! *Richard Jacques appears from stage left* BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" 110
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Thanks man! The pleasure was all mine! 010
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Our episode on TOMBA! is out now! It's great seeing renewed love for our pink-haired fella with LR's remaster. Between the visual vibrancy and exploration, there's lots to love! Definitely some gripes though, too. Ft. co-host @georgieboysaxe.bsky.social . Hope you love the show today—links below!⬇️ 175

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Patrons over at Patreon.com/pixelprojectradio are helping to choose a game that will appear on the show! The first round let two games advance: Terranigma and Life is Strange Double Exposure. They got the most votes to move on...but can they beat choices 3 and 4, Earthbound and Stardew Valley?! 162

Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 19/04/2026little show-and-tell for ya I've been using an Azeron since ~October. I was skeptical at first, but I have to say: it's a *damn fine* peripheral. Basically every point is adjustable to your own hand, and each key (30) is mappable to any keyboard, mouse, controller, or macro action. Ergonomics ftw! 131
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 15/04/2026*DJ Khaled voice* hey everybody, here is another one 461
Rick (PPR Podcast) @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Literally every slot here is subject to change on any given day. Also, that's supposed to be Donkey Kong '94 for the Game Boy...but they didn't have that box art. 1140
