    I'm pretty new here but Insert Credit has quickly become my favorite podcast. I've been going back and marathoning old episodes since Insert Credit doesn't age itself like a typical news-focused gaming podcast does. You guys are awesome! I do wish we could see you guys though, even if it's just zoom call boxes.

    Has anyone ever been ready to come up with a question for winning the previous week? I haven't heard every episode. But seems like mostly not. Love it.

    Angry Scotspeople can be terrifying. It has to suck to try to be making it as an indie dev or grow some sort of brand/company and feel like you have to use Twitter. I deleted it long ago. But, I don't need it for business. So it was easy.
