But here is something different that brings real gamers together in a meaningful way without forcing anyone to leave their gaming chair. Skill Based Podcasting is the no fluff video game podcast created by two lifelong gamers who have been mashing buttons since they were kids. Elias known as @solgob_ and Ty known as @tygames_ finally said enough is enough with all the serious gaming talk out there. They hit record in mid 2025 and have kept it completely real ever since. Trust me when I say No scripts,No corporate talks,Just two normal dudes sharing honest thoughts on new releases, gaming news, hot takes, tier lists, personal stories, and community questions every single Sunday while probably arguing over who gets the last slice of pizza during recording. From the very first episode they jumped right in by explaining why they were even starting the podcast, ranting about cheaters ruining multiplayer games, and debating ridiculous stuff like playing with shoes on because apparently some legends do that. Since then the episodes have grown to cover big titles such as Modern Warfare 4, Marvel Rivals, ARC Raiders, Fable, and many more. They dive into industry changes, console debates between Xbox and PlayStation, exclusives, remakes, the chaos of live service games, and what keeps all of us coming back to gaming even when the updates make us want to throw our controllers. Whether it is breaking down the latest patch notes, ranking their favorite games of all time, or answering listener questions, every episode feels like you are sitting in a voice chat with two friends who actually understand the grind and are not afraid to call out when a game is mid. If you are tired of the same overhyped conversations online and want fun unfiltered discussions from people who actually play the games instead of just watching trailers on repeat, this is your new favorite spot. Skill Based Podcasting is building a genuine community where introverted gamers can still feel connected, share their wildest takes, and laugh along with others who get it. The hosts read comments, reply when they can, and even feature voice messages from listeners on the show so your voice matters here instead of getting lost in the void of other comment sections.

Halfway through this book and the words are like gut punches. “But I am no builder.” I love you Pierce Brown but I also really fucking hate you.
