What started as a conversation about the M64 and ModRetro turned into something much bigger.

Over the past several months I've been experimenting with what I call "analoging" not rejecting modern technology, but learning how to use it more intentionally.

In this episode, I talk about:

• the story behind my M64 collaboration
• what ModRetro is really trying to build
• why limitations can create better experiences
• reducing the distance between decision and experience
• what the 90s got right about everyday life
• convenience, distraction, and intentionality
• why analog isn't about living in the past
• the surprisingly important lesson of "The Naked Frenchman"

This isn't an episode about retro gaming.

It's an episode about how to use modern technology without letting it use you.

This isn’t a gaming news podcast.

It’s more like sitting in a quiet room before the world wakes up and having an honest conversation about games, life, technology, and why so many of us feel mentally exhausted all the time.

Welcome to BROZY.

Welcome back to BROZY.
A cozy, stream-of-consciousness podcast from The Analog Den about intentional gaming, slowing down, nostalgia, technology, and relearning how to actually experience things again.

In this episode, I talk about:

• unexpectedly falling in love with Star Trek
• why modern media feels impossible to fully enjoy
• the hidden problem with multitasking entertainment
• hobby maxing, optimization culture, and “doing too much”
• building Gundam kits, CRT TVs, DVDs, jazz records, and intentional spaces
• why older media felt different
• how convenience may be disconnecting us from presence
• the strange freedom that comes from limitations

This episode is really about one question:

What happens when you stop trying to consume everything at once… and just experience one thing fully again?

Grab a coffee, slow down for a bit, and welcome to BROZY.
