Is there nothing to love about old Nintendo cartoons? Are any video game comics worth reading? In this monthly premium show, we look at all kinds of media derived from video games and take it apart, answering whether it's a good adaptation, and whether it's a good piece of art.\r\n\r\nThis is a premium show, as part of the Duckfeed Patreon campaign. Back us at http://patreon.com/duckfeedtv to get access to all of the episodes!","_fireside":{"subtitle":"A show about video game adaptations.","pubdate":"2025-02-19T12:00:00.000-05:00","explicit":false,"copyright":"2025 by Duckfeed.tv","owner":"Duckfeed.tv","image":"https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images-2024/podcasts/images/f/fde14413-16c4-457e-90fd-2427a4c37206/cover.jpg?v=1"},"items":[{"id":"0677db7d-a07d-4266-9650-8e2ea0a26c63","title":"We've improved the way you get our premium episodes!","url":"https://www.adaptationdecay.com/multifeed","content_text":"This episode is a quick announcement to let you know that the way you get Duckfeed's premium content is changing.\n\nPatreon now offers individual feeds of all of our backer-only shows. This gives you control over what your podcast player downloads, and what you ultimately listen to. Since Patreon itself has this feature, we will no longer be using the individual show feeds on Fireside for our premium content. Those feeds will no longer be updated.\n\nHere's what you need to do: You will now need to subscribe to each show you want to listen to individually through Patreon. The process is very simple, just go to the Membership tab on our Patreon page. I've also created a detailed guide for you in the pinned post on our Patreon page.\n\nThe delivery of public episodes isn't changing at this time. (So to get both the public and premium episodes of Watch Out for Fireballs!, you will need to subscribe to both the feed provided on Patreon and the public feed on watchoutforfireballs.com. I apologize for this duplication, there just isn't a way to handle it better at the moment).\n\nVery little else is changing at the moment. You will still get email notifications about every episode we post, regardless of what shows you subscribe to.\n\nIf you miss the combined feed of all of our shows, what we called the firehose, we're sorry that it went away. You can recreate the effect either by using an RSS feed combiner service, or using features in the podcast app you already use to group shows together into one list of episodes. This feature is called Stations in Apple Podcasts, Overcast calls it Smart Playlists, Podcast Addict calls it Playlists. Pocketcasts doesn't have an option for this as far as I know.\n\nPatreon's multi-show RSS feature is still in testing, and there may be hiccups. This is also just one of many changes Patreon is making to make podcasting on their platform better for everyone, so expect more features in the near future. If you have any feedback about the experience, please write at info@duckfeed.tv.\n\nTo sweeten the pot if this change makes you want to back us for the first time, or to become a patron again, use the code MULTIFEED (all one word) to get 20% off the first month of a new subscription.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThis episode is a quick announcement to let you know that the way you get Duckfeed\u0026#39;s premium content is changing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatreon now offers individual feeds of all of our backer-only shows.
