Hollow Knight: Silksong and Other Games (Ft. Ruby Innes)

This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s time to play the dog as they celebrate the first episode of Septendogs with Joel Zammit and Adam Carnevale. After drinking expired milk on air, Jackson misses his second week in a row and therefore misses out on beautiful reviews for Shinobi: Art of Vengeance for the Steam Deck, Ready or Not for the PC and Against The Storm for the Steam Deck. He also misses episodes of well regarded podcasts “Dad Talk”, “New Dad Talk” and many more. Bumper episode.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and Other Games (Ft. Joel Zammit and Adam Carnevale)

This week on Thumb Cramps, Jackson is lost in the woods and unable to say farewell to Handhelgust but don’t even stress gamers because stepping in as co-host is none other than the effervescent diva Chloe Appleby. Join Joel and Chloe as they experience the best handhelgust has to offer with a look at Bomb Rush Cyberfunk for the Nintendo Switch 2, Tiny Bookshop for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Hollow Knight for the Nintendo Switch in anticipation for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Plus a lot of talk of burying one of the hosts in the desert which is probably fair enough.
