Recommended: "The Problem With Red Dead Redemption 2’s Horse Testicles – 'There's Too Many of Them'"
I was invited to a brand new podcast called You Are Error, hosted by games journalist Nathan Grayson for Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription based games website that I highly recommend checking out.
On the Podcast, Nathan and I talked about some of the many ways in which mainstream video games keep dropping the ball when it comes to including horses, why I think the testicle shrinkage thing in RDR2 is stupid and of course the message that my regular readers are very familiar with: Why I’m sure that the horse game audience is bigger than anyone realizes and has a lot of potential. You know, the sort of thing I always talk about but am super thrilled to bring to a larger audience by doing so on a major gaming website.
I found my conversation with Nathan lovely, and I can highly recommend the resulting episode.
You can listen to the horse game episode of You Are Error right here on Aftermath, or find it on your Podcast Listening Service of choice, such as Spotify or Apple.
The Ranch of Rivershine is a standout in the horse game niche for various reasons. I’ve written about the game and talked to developer Éloise Laroche back when the game released its first playable demo in early 2023 and came away with very positive impressions, and from everything I’ve seen, the project has only improved from there. After about two years in Early Access with several game updates and patches, the game has received its final major content updates on May 23rd 2025.
