Hello and welcome back to the-and-sit-down podcast. We've been off the air for a while

recently and we're starting up again this week, beginning a new fortnightly

schedule until we get back into the swing of things properly.

The reason for that big break previously was down to a bunch of different factors, but broadly

speaking these are the headlines.

Firstly, I took a big holiday to swerve burnout after many years

of just not really taking proper holiday at all. I think that was a success really.

I'm back at my desk writing more than ever and feeling really good about it.

Also the two huge ARX reviews ended up taking up a lot of time just before that holiday.

I wanted to get that video, or those videos right, and nearly an hour and a half of edited B-rolled review is a pretty tall order,

so podcasts ended up slipping by the wayside. We also just had a weird slip in the amount of games we were playing. A lot of my game nights fell through because

my game group had a lot going on. And that's kind of a big driver of having stuff to talk about on these

podcasts. Anyway, we're all back now, we're playing more than ever,

and we're feeling real good. There are other reasons that I'm not going to get into, but

apologies for not communicating any of that with you, the audience, and just letting the podcast be offline for a while instead.

We're back now, fortnightly, whilst we get a bit of backlog or a safety net of episodes recorded,

and I think I'll try and put out more clear signals in the

feed whenever we might need a similar break in the future. Now today's episode it is a

weird one to have us come back with. I was meant to record a podcast today with one of our usual roster of humans, but then we had some technical difficulties that prevented the recording session. Now, normally that would mean no podcast but I thought my

dumb feature for this episode might actually work really well as a solo podcast

these always feel a little strange to do. Don't worry, this isn't the norm going forward,

but I thought I'd give it a go and just see what it feels like. So here's the pitch.
