- The author enjoys listening to podcasts while working on a diorama-based game.
- Discovered the podcast 'Imaginary Advice' through MetaFilter, featuring a fictional SNES game 'A Christmas Carol'.
- Sometimes struggles to distinguish between jokes and reality, as with Semantle and Segagaga.
- Reflects on a previous post about the fictional game 'Blue Prince', which some took seriously due to detailed visuals.
- Intended the 'Blue Prince' post as a critique on its high busywork-to-puzzle ratio and inclusion of slot machines.
- Podcasts inspire creativity, as seen with Adrian Tchaikovsky's 'Philosopher Tyrants' series.
- The 'Revolutions' podcast returned with a fictional season on the Martian Revolution of 2247.
- Used 'cool-retro-term' instead of RetroArch for a project, settling for 'good enough' font accuracy.
- Appreciated Egypt Urnash's IF-style 'Blue Prince' scene but prefers maps in games for clarity.
