This week on #Venthuffer: That time I played House Flipper during a home-alone week a couple of years ago, and how it forced me to face a really gnarly problem burbling behind the iRL fridge.

#Venthuffer's gonna be one of the best ones so far. 🏚️
Please enjoy a new episode of #Venthuffer, my audio zine about the Steam Deck and things adjacent.
This one's about the Deck's one-button suspension feature, why it's one of the best things about the system, and the trouble it got me into. #SteamDeck #podcast #VideoGames

8: Suspension
The Steam Deck has a one-button suspension feature that lets you safely set the console down and immediately turn your full attention to something else, at any time, even in the middle of a game. Even though this is one of the best features of the Deck, it’s in tension with another feature, one that can make instant suspension effectively unusable. This episode is about how I had to discover this for myself, and buy my way out of it.
Looking for an extremely enjoyable and completely unique #podcast ? Here you go 🙂

It's a new episode of
#Venthuffer, my audio zine about the
#SteamDeck and topics tangential. This week I reward myself for getting past the first-three-episode hump by recording the series introduction. I describe it as self-indulgent, but if we're being honest it's no more so than every other episode.

Examining the origins and motivations of this audio project, four episodes in.
This week on
#VENTHUFFER, I talk about my initial exploration of the modern landscape of PC-game modding via

Letting my friends expand my gaming horizons through consensual rule-breaking.
