What is Looksmaxxing (And Should I Do It)?

Wed, 22 May 2024 14:01:34 GMT

This week on The Pixel Hearts, we're diving deep into incel forums to discuss the weird world of looksmaxxing. What even is it?

So sit back and enjoy listening to us riff on the stranger sides of relationships in another episode of your favorite podcast - and don't forget to leave us a review.

It's the topic so good we devoted two episodes to discussing it: what makes a good GM and can we make Mahli-Ann one. Listen on to hear all the tips and tricks, including why D&D may not be the best place to start, how you can apply your education to the game, and the secret sauce at the heart of all good games (hint: it's collaboration).

How Much Does Cam Love Ro? (A Belated Valentine's Special)

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 13:01:42 GMT

Hey all, we're back again. The crew is still scattered to the winds with various tasks but we have a delightful episode today, once again with Cam and Ro. This time they're going through classic relationship quizzes to determine if they'll go the distance. Sorry for the delay in this coming out - it was supposed to be on Valentine's day but the editor was busy/lazy/distracted/pick your excuse. Point is, blame him and not your favorite hosts (he can take it). We'll hopefully be back on schedule soon.

Listen on for insights into how they've kept things fresh for sixteen years, as well as for a sneaky cat cameo. Fae and Teja's knowledge of kinks may be missing, but there's still plenty of sparks in this episode of the premiere dating advice podcast (premiere in that this episode was, at one point of release, premiering on your favourite app).

Should I Name My Child Sephiroth (and Other Questions)? - Live at PAX 2023!

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 00:15:32 GMT

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're up late and unleashed at PAX AUS 2023. In the first of two episodes, we discuss the burning questions we haven't been able to get to on the podcast yet including whether it's alright to name your child after a video game character, what power-up would you bring into the bedroom, and what the hell the devil's button is! All this and more in a seriously unhinged episode. Please note that due to audio issues the first question (about how to make friends) starts partway through, and the question about naming children has one edit in it to maintain audience privacy. Also note that this episode being late is Editor Ryan's fault - we have taken him to the dungeon and reprimanded him.

How Do I Talk About My Fetishes With My Partner (feat. Jules)

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 13:01:45 GMT

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, Cameron is still away so we're getting kinky and answering the important question of "How do I talk about my new kink with my partner?" Join us for a discussion featuring the answers to hard hitting questions such as "What is a kink?", "Does Mahli-Ann have a praise kink?", "How do I enact my vore kink?", and will Cameron look at us the same after listening to this one? That last one may not be answered in the episode (he will though as he loves us), but we can promise a fun time for you, dear listener.

(Also apologies on any issues with background noise in the audio this time. We'd give editor Ryan a stern talking to but degradation is his kink, so we praised his work and he promised to make sure next episode is even better)

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 13:01:57 GMT

This week on The Pixel Hearts we're getting topical once more (but actually this time) and talking all about unions.

Also exciting is our first official guest - welcome Jules from the Australian Unemployed Workers Union and the Australian Gothic podcast. With friends like these, you won't even notice Cameron being busy, or any editing mistakes caused by the lovely editor getting their AMs and PMs mixed up and editing the show while trying to book a new flight and fix their schedule (or at least, we hope you won't notice).

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:01:38 GMT

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts, big questions lead to big episode times. We're tackling the serious topic of deradicalization: how do you talk that friend who just discovered Jordan Peterson down from the ledge bordering the right wing rabbit hole?

One this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're diving deep into the complicated world of digital dating as we hope to tackle the most important question: how hard should I go in a first game with my girlfriend?

On this week's episode of The Pixel Hearts we're getting clinical and talking video game addiction. More specifically, we're looking at how to balance those games you just can't put down alongside spending time with the partner you just can't bear to be without. We discuss how spending a big chunk of time in games isn't inherently bad, and provide some tips on how to make sure everybody in the relationship can feel appreciated, even if one of you is more focused on defeating Dehydrated Ganondorf than they are catching up with your parents. All this and we manage to break Cameron yet again with the secret origin of Korok Seeds - it's not as wholesome as you might think. It's good to be back.

(Apologies for any slight drop in audio quality - some files were peaked slightly and others a bit quite so levelling them out may be slightly borked... but we'll be back good as new next week.

What Are Relationship Green Flags?

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:01:28 GMT

On this episode of The Pixel Hearts we're diving back in time and looking at the other side of one of our earlier questions. We've discussed Red Flags in Relationships before, but this time we're all about Green Flags. Listen on to learn more about the importance of shared interests, shared friends, unprompted acts of kindness, and dozens of other little things that have let us know when a relationship is really going well. Learn how Mahli-Ann and Cameron found out that their respective husbands may be the one for them, and stick around to the end to hear the crew talk about the green flags they see in each other. That's right... we may be the "Eat A Dick For Breakfast" podcast... but we can also be surprisingly wholesome when we want to be.

How Do I Move On From A Breakup?

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 23:17:52 GMT

CW: Light discussion of abusive and toxic relationships 5:05-6:20

On this episode of The Pixel Hearts we take a page from Bennett Foddy's book and are focused on Getting Over It - only the "it" in question is not a giant cliff of stuff, but a breakup. We're diving deep into the methods and strategies that you can use to deal with a bad breakup. Topics include the importance of letting anger out, the surprising role that scent can play in affecting your mood, and of course... innuendo that would make Cameron blush. As noted above, this episode does cover some heavy topics so listener discretion is advised.

(Also, the editor sincerely apologies for the delay with this episode - and the slight drop in audio quality. He is doing his daily self flagellation in a decidedly un-sexy way as penance.)

In this episode of The Pixel Hearts, we're mixing things up... again! This week's episode was recorded live at PAX AUS 2022, the same convention where the Pixel Hearts debuted, and doesn't tackle a question. Instead, we're chucking a gaming spin on a retro show with our version of Blind Date! Listen as Teja woos the crowd with his amazing seductive impression of gaming's greatest Italian (and it's not the one you may be thinking of). Marvel as Mahli-Ann crams in a veritable buttload of name puns. Be amazed by Fae's stunning betrayal in an attempt to steal the hearts of the potential dates. Applaud as our special guest Alice desperately Google's her character's information as she fills in for Ella. Like and review our podcast if you enjoy our jokes and banter... alright, that one didn't happen at the panel but you still should do it. We'd be ever so thankful.
