There are two title options for RFN this week. Both of them independently have the word "fudge" in them. They are from extreme different segments of the show and the later was not a callback to the first. I was not aware I had taken these notes until after recording. This is weird.
Still trying to figure out art for this week's show.
We found the limit where the NWR software tells you to stop adding related games to a podcast article.
Pokemon Wielder Donald@nwrdonald.bsky.social · 4w agoI have said in the past that I have considered invoicing Nintendo for my time and quoted a figure of US$10,000. After this week, I'm adding two 0s before the decimal for punitive damages.

This week: a Sonic primer, a report card, and an unfathomable amount of us staying rebellious. It's a short email show this week because at RFN we always core before more. Signal over Ceremony, and we... Screw it. It's Episode 984: Iconic Ball Action www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/76428/ep...
"3% Cash Back on Rehab" was a fuckin' fire single. Too bad the rest of the album was trash.
Radio Free Nintendo@radiofreenintendo.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis week on Credit Card Reporting we help you pick the right card for your medical expenses. Explain how to earn like a pro.

We are now officially reporting... "This is Miyamoto. There is something called the 999 Direct. I do not know what this is. Please do not watch"
Pokemon Wielder Donald@nwrdonald.bsky.social · 3mo agoKeeping my fingers crossed for a shadowdrop in a September Direct (which should coincide with a low-990s episode)
The 20-year old Nintendo podcast that still gets basic shit wrong... The Radio Free Nintendo difference!
Radio Free Nintendo@radiofreenintendo.bsky.social · 3mo agoHey, remember when we hastily said 999 would be the RetroActive for Episode 999 Yeah, about that. Zero Escape: The Nonary Games was NEVER RELEASED ON SWITCH. Xbox One, PS4, Steam, iOS? You got it. Geforce Now? At your fingertips. In fact, THE ENTIRE ZERO ESCAPE FRANCHISE MISSED SWITCH. Oops...

Is this podcast a brand? I assume expectations are so low we cannot let anyone down ever.
GuillaumefromRFN@guillaumenwr.bsky.social · 3mo agoI just want to engage with a brand that will never let me down, is that too much to ask? Let me engage!
