Thanks so much, Kenny! Really glad to have you as a reader and podcast listener! You've been so encouraging! BTW, if you ever want to write anything about retro video games you're more than welcome. We could use more of that content here at GOTD.
I could write something. You have no one writing about games. I am so niche on my interests and obviously being an involved father and being more than full-time employed I cannot keep up with modern games.
I don't know if I could contribute consistently but I would love to write something on gaming every now and then. Especially just appreciation for various games kind of in the same way your substack does music.
I really like the unpretentious attitude presented here on that topic.
Writing about the retro games would be even better than doing the modern stuff! 8-bit, 16-bit, 64-bit - those were the golden age for me. By the time the GameCube came around that was more my younger brother's than mine. I think we got a PS2 at one point mainly for Guitar Hero but the last computer game I bought was Vice City and the only game I've paid money for on the iPad is a rerelease of my beloved Heroes of Might and Magic III. So send me an email anytime if you'd like to do a post on games! Or I'll just go ahead and invite you as a contributor.
I will think of something to write about and write something. I have some time tonight.
Yeah. I do like some modern games, but all of them are "indie games" that share some design element of older games.
I think I have a very typical "Xennial" experience of what I find nostalgic. But since I am obsessive I have poured hours into researching every little detail about the NES and anything from the 8-16 bit era(which is also my favorite console era along with PC games from that era as well.)
The problem is that would need to think of something people would actually want to read even if they are not huge fans of 8/16 bit console games.
Don't worry about that potential problem. Just write what interests you and what you're passionate about and if it needs any work to broaden it or revise it then I'll give you some editorial feedback.

I also like comic books and dogs I forgot to mention those two.
Writings on those subjects would be welcome also! We're going to have a fun comic book piece on Friday by our history book critic Daniel!
Can't wait to read it.

Hi Kenny! Just read your draft, and once you publish, I'll tell you about how old school gamer I am HAHAHA (Hint: It involves an Atari 2600)
BTW, my dad was named Ken :D
I wrote something about retro video games, how do I send it to you?
Feel free to email me any time DavidSwindle@gmail.com
