    I find a lot of early 3D games very off-putting and there are probably a bunch of otherwise good games I've skipped simply because the presentation turned me away. I've never put down an otherwise...

    You *can*, but I don't know about many deer farms, at least around these parts. The only source of venison here that come close to the volumes you get from hunting is reindeer herding which still...

    I don't get the logic here, buying venison from a shop would still mean someone had to go out and shoot the deer - they're not farm animals. He also mentioned cost and it would most certainly be more...

    Nope, arthropods. I know what they look like and I know what they eat. I'd rather eat some kinds of insects than crustaceans. And I do eat meat, I just don't eat it often.

    A lot of good ones here I hadn't heard of before, and I was worried I'd run out of podcasts to listen to. Thank you all.

    A good place to get a start if you're not sure what you want is to check out Gopher's Skyrim Mod Sanctuary. A lot of the older ones are probably out of date by now, but he does very in-depth...
