Ted Lasso is back for another season, but I do not think Ted Lasso knows why it's back for another season. We discuss on Decoding TV https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decoding-tv/id1163344992?i=1000780060619

Was Tyranny a victim of bad timing or was it a bit too honest about the subtext of its audiences’ fantasies? @duncanfyfe.net on a game that has remained topical, trenchant… and rather neglected. remapradio.com/articles/ten...

Few projects have excited me the way Jump, Rank, Repeat has. Ranking platformers? My favorite genre? With one of my favorite people? Excited to deliver a new episode about Rare platformers this month! https://remapradio.com/podcasts/episodes/jump-rank-repeat-a-country-of-kongs/
Jump Rank Repeat: A Country of Kongs
Patrick and Janet return to their monthly ranking of platformer video games with a focus, this time, on Rare.

My nine-year-old has asked to chat in Roblox. Our house rule is still no. But I do think Roblox's new "Quick Words" feature is a nice middle ground https://www.crossplay.news/p/what-are-roblox-quick-words
Roblox's New "Quick Words" Feature Is a Good Middle Ground for Families Who Ban Chatting
It's natural for kids to want to chat with the people they're playing with. This might be a safer path.

Need some help on great competitive family games for our big GamesCom booth. We'd usually go to Towerfall, Cricket Through the Ages and Boomerang Fu but in Germany these are all USK 12. What great 6-player Switch games would you suggest for us? (Also we are open to new indie game suggestions)
I will not allow this mediocre video game to defeat me. Not even my nine-year-old having strep throat last week can keep me away from seeing the credits. I'M BACK

My oldest daughter has spent most of the past year asking if she could see The Backrooms when it came out. I went to see it in advance with my wife, and after some consideration, we decided to say yes. (Spoiler: She had a blast) www.crossplay.news/p/taking-a-k...

Really enjoyed this story for @crossplayblog.bsky.social about one family's step-by-step (and sort of scientific) journey to get their kid into video games https://www.crossplay.news/p/how-to-get-your-kid-into-video-games
The (Sort of) Scientific Process of Getting Our Kid into Video Games
You could just give them Roblox! Or you could, step-by-step, walk them into video gaming independence.

Seems appropriate that emails would bounce when the email address is about jumping.
Apologies, folks. It looks like the jump@remapradio.com email for Jump Rank Repeat has been bouncing emails. I've fixed the problem, though, and you can fire away. We'll be recording the next episode on Friday, if you want to send general questions, comments, or Platformer Court suggestions!
I cried reading this, lol. Excited to watch my son grow.
