GAMERS, this isn't the first time we've commented on a Discord exodus, but with some luck it may be the last. @[email protected] actually spent a while looking into the state of Discord alternatives, three of which we will go into some depth in this episode.

GAMERS, welcome to MP#119, where the tangents were many and it is essentially unchapterable. We did attempt to but a few chapters together for the upload but trust that this episode is all over the place, in the most positive way possible. Turns out a 3rd and 4th Concord-like (as in commercial failure) is on the way and @[email protected] reacts to the trailer in the recording. We also spend some time talking about the audacity of it all that Highguard even has a roadmap. All this an more inside.

GAMERS, Happy new year! It's time to talk about the best games of 2025. Be it drama surrounding the industry shows such as The Game Awards, as well as our own nominations. Here's how the Melonmancy Podcast awards game of the year: since it's unrealistic to always be playing new games at full price, unless you're some paid off corpo journalist, each member of our cast will award the best new game they played this year, be it new or old. It must only be new TO YOU. Please send us boostagrams or post on our forum what was the best new game YOU played last year and we'll talk about it next team, even if the game is fuckin ancient, if its new to you, it's new.

GAMERS, pour out a cold one for ComicK and join us while we ramble on about video games. It's a slow couple of weeks for news it's almost like everybody is talking about something else.
