Disappointed

Peart93•4/3/2026

March 19, 2026 the best game of the year so far, Crimson Desert, launches. Crickets from the Besties. It’s Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 all over again. I just can’t respect the opinions of ‘gamers’ who won’t even mention S tier games on their gaming podcast.

Games!

I love the variety of games they talk about and how different their opinions are. Plante easily has the best taste but I like the other guys too. :)

Hang it up, old men

This has been an awful year for you guys, and it culminated in an awful GOTY discussion. It’s sad, but I think it’s time for you guys to call it quits P.S. I listened to part 2 as a practice in self-flagellation and i’m dead. Congrats, you guys are so bad P.P.S. They support Microsoft and are zionist genocide deniers

Good but

Chris Plante tries too hard. Mmm

A video game book club!

All day I dream about serial•1/8/2026

When I started listening I hadn’t played a video game in years, but the Besties have a great range of taste and opened my eyes to the huge range of games now. Their coverage of indie games especially has been super helpful and insightful.
