We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. what is up everybody and welcome to kind of funny games daily for tuesday august 11th 2026 can anyone see us we don't know we might be ghosts i'm roger mccorney and today i'm joined by the amazing lucy james from looking for game not looking for dot game Either works. Oh, either works. Either works, but I don't mind. Thank you, Roger. How are you doing today? I'm doing well, thanks. How are you? Good. You beat us to the office. You beat everybody. You had a little meeting. It was kind of a little surprise. It was fun. I did. I genuinely, when I started the call, I was interviewing some developers for Friday's issue.
and i was like just so you know i'm in the kind of funny office they don't know that i'm here yeah and all the lights are off and i really think i will scare someone yeah um i didn't you were no phase no i was actually i was kind of happy i was like oh okay cool she's here she's ready she got everything she's going uh tell me about looking for game tell me what's going on what is happening in the world over there
Well, it's a weekly newsletter. We get more than once a week, but we get indie game recommendations that I kind of curate, send out, send out the demo, so you can give it a try. It has been so busy. There are so many games. Discoverability is obviously such a huge problem, and so there have been so many fantastic things to wade through. I am very excited for this week, because it could be something in the kinetic games space that I can't stop thinking about. and I say that with like I'm trying not to hint at what it is honestly you probably wouldn't even guess I think it's something really special and I had such a good chat with developers this morning so that's coming out on Friday I've also got a review of something coming out on Thursday like a short review type thing because I also have like different pieces of content that go out so things like you you gotta play which is sort of my mini review thing
for games that are already out, and I'm trialing something new next week, so please be excited. But no, it's going great. It's so busy. The emails. The thing about emails is once you reply, people reply back. That's tough. And never stop. That's tough. It's like getting friends and everything. It's like, ugh, now you have to talk to them and everything. It's like you want it, but you don't want it. You know what I mean? No, but also it's great. And like the community and the Discord is wonderful. So if you are a paid subscriber, you can get in there and they're all just like sharing game recommendations, having a good time, set up some VC channels. I am such a boomer with Discord. I have no idea how it works, man. What the hell is a boost? All the...
You gotta get people to boost it. Why did the boost run out? You gotta get people to boost it. You gotta get the 4K. You gotta get people to boost it? You gotta get people to boost it. They gotta pay money. No, they gotta use their Discord. They gotta get their Discord Nitro, and then they gotta boost it so then you can, I guess, have more emotes? I think that's how that works. I think you can boost it yourself, though. You can boost it. But you don't wanna, you don't need that. I've already been doing that. You've been boosting? Well, because I want, they've already paid to get it. So you've been boosting?
