This week on The Pixel Hearts, we have half the team, but double the love to share! That's right... Fae and Teja are taking time to talk a topic near and dear to their hearts - and the hearts of their partners: it's a polyamory episode. Listen on for some advice about navigating the world of polyamory. Whether you're curious about dipping your toes in, or a seasoned veteran, we're here for you. ----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

It's the topic so good we devoted two episodes to discussing it: what makes a good GM and can we make Mahli-Ann one. Listen on to hear all the tips and tricks, including why D&D may not be the best place to start, how you can apply your education to the game, and the secret sauce at the heart of all good games (hint: it's collaboration). All this and more on yet another episode of the podcast which the notes writer is struggling to come up with slightly humorous ways to describe. It's good, alright?

Guess who's back? The best relationship podcast about games remotely recorded in Australia. That's right - The Pixel Hearts have returned and this time we've got a question from the crew. So sit back and join Teja and Cameron as they coach Mahli-Ann on how to stop being a player and start being a master - a dungeon master. But we're not talking kinky dungeons... instead, this episode is dedicated to those analogue games which we all love so much. All that, and more threats of an increased workload for your favorite editor/notes writer Ryan on another banger episode of the greatest podcast in the universe. -----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

Hey all, we're back again. The crew is still scattered to the winds with various tasks but we have a delightful episode today, once again with Cam and Ro. This time they're going through classic relationship quizzes to determine if they'll go the distance. Sorry for the delay in this coming out - it was supposed to be on Valentine's day but the editor was busy/lazy/distracted/pick your excuse. Point is, blame him and not your favorite hosts (he can take it). We'll hopefully be back on schedule soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Pixel Hearts we're shaking things up yet again with a smaller showing - but no less important. On this week's episode Cameron is holding down the fort and he's brought backup in the form of his delightful husband Ro, as they answer the important question of how to avoid complacency in a long term relationship. Listen on for insights into how they've kept things fresh for sixteen years, as well as for a sneaky cat cameo. Fae and Teja's knowledge of kinks may be missing, but there's still plenty of sparks in this episode of the premiere dating advice podcast (premiere in that this episode was, at one point of release, premiering on your favourite app). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're continuing the party and finishing the festivities of the fiftieth episode as we finally determine who the greatest couple in gaming is. With Mahli-Ann's horse romances eliminated the competition is really heating up. Listen on to discover the bedroom dynamics of Ranni and the Tarnished and more. Also on the episode is Teja's impassioned defense of Kim Kitsuragi and Harrier Du Bois. Alll this and Mahli-Ann still manages to include some Pony Clop Clop time! Listen on to find out who is crowned King and Queen. Or in the case of Saint-14 and Osiris is it King and King? Does that make Ranni and the Tarnished... Queen and... Monarch? This editor may have botched the analogy, but rest assured the episode is all hits. -----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're proving the haters wrong and celebrating our fiftieth episode with a bang by talking about which couple in games bang the best. That's right, forget your pairings of Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher or Princess Peach and Mario because we're here to set the record straight on which couple is the best in the biz. Will it be the Space Wizards of Osiris and Saint-14, or your classic fantasy fighters like Yennefer and Geralt? Will Mahli-Ann's... uh, inspired choices make it past the first round? And what pivotal role does your humble editor Ryan play in this no holds barred tournament. Find all of this out and more on a bumper celebration of what makes this the most delightfully deranged gaming advice podcast where we discuss very little advice (this week at least) - and be sure to tune in next week to find out who takes the crown.-----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, we're closing the door on 2023 and looking to the future as we discuss what games we're looking forward to in 2024. We've got a lot of games to discuss including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (which one of the team secretly hates FFVII?), Baby Steps (who on the crew thinks that the main character has "their preferred body type"), and Silksong (if it actually comes out). But that's not all... we've got a whole host of games big and small, so tune in to get the inside scoop on our mostly anticipated games in the definitive list of "Probably Gonna Be Good Games 2024".-----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, we're back with a vengeance, delivering one of our biggest episodes yet as we close out the holiday season with a look back at the year that was. That's right... it's time for our annual (?) "What Did We Play Last Year?" episode. Listen to find out who missed out on smooches in Baldur's Gate 3, which Pixel Heart's most played game was Sea of Thieves, and what "mid" game sends Cameron into an impassioned defense. All this and a new running gag sure to make you laugh and drive our poor editor mad... just how we like it!-----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're (still) at PAX AUS 2023. In the second half of our delightfully deranged panel, we discuss the burning questions from the audience.

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're up late and unleashed at PAX AUS 2023. In the first of two episodes, we discuss the burning questions we haven't been able to get to on the podcast yet including whether it's alright to name your child after a video game character, what power-up would you bring into the bedroom, and what the hell the devil's button is! All this and more in a seriously unhinged episode. Please note that due to audio issues the first question (about how to make friends) starts partway through, and the question about naming children has one edit in it to maintain audience privacy. Also note that this episode being late is Editor Ryan's fault - we have taken him to the dungeon and reprimanded him. -----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, Cameron is still away so we're getting kinky and answering the important question of "How do I talk about my new kink with my partner?" Join us for a discussion featuring the answers to hard hitting questions such as "What is a kink?", "Does Mahli-Ann have a praise kink?", "How do I enact my vore kink?", and will Cameron look at us the same after listening to this one? That last one may not be answered in the episode (he will though as he loves us), but we can promise a fun time for you, dear listener. (Also apologies on any issues with background noise in the audio this time. We'd give editor Ryan a stern talking to but degradation is his kink, so we praised his work and he promised to make sure next episode is even better)For more Jules, check out the Australian Gothic Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Soundcloud - and peep their socials on Twitter or Instagram.-----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

This week on The Pixel Hearts we're getting topical once more (but actually this time) and talking all about unions. The WGA strike may be over, but there's many more ongoing including some that affect our hosts, so we figured it would be a good opportunity to answer the all important question: how do I convince my partner to join the union? Also exciting is our first official guest - welcome Jules from the Australian Unemployed Workers Union and the Australian Gothic podcast. With friends like these, you won't even notice Cameron being busy, or any editing mistakes caused by the lovely editor getting their AMs and PMs mixed up and editing the show while trying to book a new flight and fix their schedule (or at least, we hope you won't notice).

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're diving deep into the topical discourse and discussing those juicy Jonah Hill texts (trust us, it was topical when we recorded). We're looking at the differences between the things that can make or break a relationship and the ways that self help and therapy language can be used to disguise bad behaviour. Also on the agenda: icks. Are they a bit of fun or something more sinister. All this alongside your regular helping of innuendo and jokes about golden showers on another beautiful episode of our delightful podcastCOME SEE US LIVE AT PAX MELBOURNE! - 9PM Friday the 6th of October at the Galah Theatre-----------------------------------Got a question for The Pixel Hearts?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're cracking open the forbidden tomes and diving deep into some personal lore as we ask the important question: what are our best and worst dates. Listen on to find out which Pixel Heart jumped out of a second story window to avoid a bad date, which one had a date which ended in a conversation with Nazis, and which one of us ended up trapped with a grieving family in a moment of need. But it's not all bad - we also discuss our best dates. Museums, scavenger hunts and speedboats!

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, big questions lead to big episode times. We're tackling the serious topic of deradicalization: how do you talk that friend who just discovered Jordan Peterson down from the ledge bordering the right wing rabbit hole? We cover the importance of empathy, the variety of topics you can use to guide them away, and whether it is even your job in the first place. But don't worry, it's not all serious - Mahli-Ann has her most absurd introduction ever. Seriously, this is a bumper episode.
