Remap Radio

The Super Bowl has happened, and for a rare moment goodness prevailed, as the New England Patriots were not just beaten—they were humiliated. Patrick and Rob cannot help but clap like seals, even if the game itself wasn’t that great. Plus, we chat about the sweaty amount of AI commercials during the Big Game, the coolness of the Olympic “Gold Zone,” and how Rob’s continued interest in mediocre Chicago Bulls roster constructions has hit a logical end.

Between the success of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, you might assume designer Edmund McMillen is feeling confident going into the release of his latest game, the tactics-focused Mewgenics. But it turns out self esteem issues, insecurity, and hoping people like what you’ve made is not a feeling that ever goes away, no matter how many people buy your games.

We did it. We finished recording game of the year podcasts! Wait, well, almost. Mostly. So, uh, Danika got sick at the last second, which means it’s Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia rotating through their final favorites from 2025. Don’t worry, it happened quickly: only four hours! Remap Radio reverts to a normal format next week, though we’ll still talk through Danika’s final games. P.S. We are now including image references in our podcast descriptions when appropriate.

In January, Patrick was contacted by a developer with a unique request. They were applying for a Visa application that would have a better chance of approval if there were articles (or podcasts) about their work. Patrick hopped on a call with designers Luke Li and Cindy Fan of BROKENCIGS to talk about their journey from China to the US, why they’re taking a unique route to try and stay here, and why New York spoke to them.
