All on cosplay news, convention coverage, nerdy bits and bytes. Plus a look inside the lives of various content creators!

CosplayBytes

I wanted to make this impromptu episode to sort of vent about the frustrations I've been having with my show since the last episode. Difficulties in booking guests and immense feelings of being unwanted in the cosplay space. I also talk about the possibility of having this new season of the show be its last depending on the content output I'm able to manage. I apologize if this does seem like I'm whining a lot but I've just had these feelings for awhile and wanted a space to let them run free.

Where Do We Go From Here

I can't recall if I've ever done an episode regarding MAGFest, so I'm extremely excited to not only have that for you today but with a twist! I'm joined by Lance/Toaster as he details what it's like staffing the event as part of the A/V crew. Particularly going into detail about the arcade section of the con. Learn what goes into a job like this with controlling a myriad of lights as well as his thoughts on how the convention scene has changed from when he first started going to now. This was a really insightful conversation and I hope you all enjoy :)

MAGFest 2025

Thank you for joining me for today's episode. While convention season is still very much underway, I wanted to take some time and talk about my trip to Japan that just happened a few weeks ago. It was quite the experience and something I'll never forget. Hope you enjoy, and thank you to those that watched live on Twitch!

Japan 2025

I got the opportunity to not only play Good Story Guild’s first ever game—Cat Secretary—but also a chance to interview the devs describing what they wanted to bring to the table with this game. Did you know they also do podcasts? Learn about what they took from that outlet and apply it to their game!

PAX East 2025: Good Story Guild Interview

Oh man did we cover a lot in this episode! My annual catch up with Emris Coscept is here and we had so much to say. In addition to the teases of my eventual PAX East episode, Emris went into detail about SakuraCon and how it was done this year. Questionable details aside, she talks about how her cosplays were a surprise hit, the scope of Artist Alley and other cosplays seen! Then I ended up going over my Japan trip for them as they've been previously and we compared notes on what we did. Again, it feels really good to be creating content for this show again, i hope you all enjoy this near 2hr long chat!

Emris Coscept & SakuraCon 2025!

In this Episode, Mink the Satyr and I talk about her times at PAX East along with reminiscing about past shows. Many tangents, technical difficulties and a new format debut here! Panel discussion as well as the state of the con and how the gaming industry appeared there.

In this new Episode, I talk to my wonderful friend Sarah about her time last weekend at YetiCon in Canada! A favorite of hers that truthfully sounds like a vacation spot, check out how that con is like along with the cosplay scene in Canada. YetiCon to her is known as the ColossalCon of Canada so it fits given that con just happened!

I can't believe we reached the 100th Episode! As always, I'm happy to share it with the S-Tier team that is Mink the Satyr & Dannylions! We spend the time catching up on what we've been up to since the last episode we did together. This includes conventions, cosplays done, photoshoots and our plans into 2024! I legit did have notes written out but wild turns and tangents were taken, which I was hoping for <3. Enjoy this chaotic but fun episode. I can't thank you all enough for the love and support you've shown me on my podcast journey. Here's to whatever the new year brings us!!

Celebrating 100 Episodes with Mink The Satyr and Dannylions!
