We infer sensitivity and philosophical intent in the best sportspeople, that may or may not exist. I'll do the same. While those around him were losing their heads, Messi kept his, and sat alone, beatifically, watching the trophy ceremony stage being built. A man at peace with the end.
The football game that is actually about football. A clip from episode 046 of Dialogue Tree, on @panic.com’s unique and unforgettable @despelote.game. The full episode features broken economic, defiant heroics and a little experimental cinema. LISTEN ⬇️
The beautiful game isn’t always beautiful. But @despelote.game sees things differently. Episode 046 of Dialogue Tree is available now wherever you get podcasts. Listen now to warm up for the final World Cup weekend. LISTEN ⬇️
Si se puede. Yes, it's possible. Episode 046 of Dialogue Tree is about @despelote.game. It's also about busted economics, lifelong neuroses, a wet and windy night in South London 26 years ago and long summer days with the ball and the kids. Mostly, it's about finding joy within the noise. LINKS ⬇️

A day with the devs. For episode 045 of Dialogue Tree, I went to the IMPACT! Indie Games Expo in Bristol, guided by @groundshatter.bsky.social's @lyndyb.bsky.social and IMPRESS's @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social. We talk all about the event, including what exactly goes into an independent games expo.
Human connections, and a connection to the divine. This is @eyr.ee on the inspirations behind her great new album, Eyesparkle. There’s a lot more, especially on Eyre’s faith and relationship with religion, in our full conversation. Hear it all on episode 044 of Dialogue Tree. LISTEN ⬇️
26 hours. 253 deaths. No assists. Finally done with this brilliant game that for long stretches I absolutely hated.
The music behind the mask. Here, @eyr.ee talks about her influences as a chiptune musician, from Dubmood to Fever Ray via Professor Layton. There’s even more in our full conversation. Hear it all on episode 044 of Dialogue Tree, available wherever you get podcasts. Listen ⬇️

Life's a cabaret. For episode 044 of Dialogue Tree, I spoke to chiptune musician @eyr.ee. We talked about the history of the scene, her great new album, wild cabaret performances, the lived trans experience and Malcom McLaren. For Pride, and for the pirates. LISTEN ⬇️
There’s a lot of right answers in this. Some are more right than others.
Who is Ben Swithen? What do they do, and why? Here, @benjamilian.bsky.social talks about the many forms their work takes, and why they approach it the way they do. If you love something, why not just…do it?
