Kyle talks about life in Bend, Oregon, his history with GameChurch and Love Thy Nerd, his “Kyle’s Nerdy Mission” updates, reading <em>Hellboy</em> and <em>Love Does</em>, watching <em>Daredevil: Born Again</em> and Star Wars Maul content, playing <em>Blood on the Clocktower</em>, <em>Hogwarts Legacy</em>, and <em>Assassin’s Creed Mirage</em>, and serving through community college tabletop nights, church game nights, NCMS, and upcoming convention outreach like Gen Con.

        <![CDATA[<p>Michael and Luke are joined by longtime Love Thy Nerd volunteer and Discord legend Andy for a wide-ranging catch-up full of garden train dad energy, Gen Con Airbnb lore, audiobook deep dives, handheld gaming habits, and plenty of manga and YouTube rabbit trails. Between the laughs and convention memories, the conversation turns toward real life—family, hard seasons, local game nights, and how nerdy interests can open the door to something deeper.

In this episode of LTN Pulse, Michael and Luke kick things off by mostly remembering how to podcast, then dive headfirst into everything they’ve been reading, watching, playing, and experiencing lately. They talk game nights that accidentally turn into RuneScape marathons, snow-day Discord hangs, Marvel shows that don’t feel like Marvel shows, and why community—not just content—is the real endgame. Plus, a little TantrumCon hype, a little board game teaching anxiety, and a whole lot more.</p>]]>
