Recently a friend of mine found a very good gaming site. I think it's a great way to relax. You can try https://fnfmod.online/tabi/ to have a better time. Another advantage of this free game is that you can become a gaming pro and learn more about one of the most popular games. It's cool that there are these sites where you can play many games for free, and they are pretty fun.

Ngl, I listened right up till I got to hear the voice of the narrator, deleted the episode, then downloaded all of the first season from their channel. Hope she doesn't die 😅. bless you, dust. y'all are practically a public service with how you find all the brilliant artists in sci Fi who don't have the money to spend on screaming at the internet. internet banshee is dust's job and dust likes it that way.

Science Fiction at its most exquisite. A tale of searing beauty, and the words spoken at the end ... a perfect coda for this very moving story. (This is the second Michael Carabott work I've experienced. I am now a devotee)

Proof of the power of words. Pictures, be they moving or still, not required.

Well, that was decidedly lame. A pity, as this podcast hasn't been too bad up to now.

I have had this podcast in my library for awhile and I am really looking forward to listening after reading all of the great reviews. That being said, I want to make sure I listen in the most logical order. Am I understanding correctly that, essentially, I listen backwards? 3, 2, then 1? Thanks in advance!!
