Gaming With a Partner Who Doesn't Game (feat. Jake)
Jake is back for the second half of his visit, and this one is not about a game. It is about the thing that quietly shapes how much any of us actually get to play: being an adult, having a full time job, and loving someone who does not care about video games at all.
Let's Yap: Gamescom, Sony's Worst Week Yet, and Mario Kart 8 Gets Eight Player Split Screen
Jake from the Melbourne Gaymers is on the couch for the September yapisode, and September is where 2026 gets busy. Gamescom, a State of Play nobody enjoyed, a surprise Mario Kart update, and a Release Radar long enough that Davey had to cut it in half.

Reacting to the GTA 6 Extended Look: Consider Us Advertised

Let's Yap: PlayStation Blackout, GTA 6 Goes Behind a Netflix Paywall, and the Steam Machine Price Shock
