They both care and don't care about consoles. Care way more about services and just having you in Xbox overall

I very much expected a price increase because by many accounts game pass is not scalable or profitable, but I didn't expect them to make it this much worse. I basically have to cancel, and I use it for work!

AI chatbots saying that they're "experimental" is a dogshit disclaimer that doesn't do nearly enough to say that the tech just isn't good enough.

Been a minute since we've done one of these, but: We recently passed the 3,600 subscriber mark! Merch is on the way -- after we sort through some logistics -- and another podcast isn't far off. Thank you to all of our subscribers, without whom none of this would be possible

Like I have nothing to say. It's stupid! It's all stupid! People are yelling at each other and I see more stupid stuff! What can I contribute that isn't "Hey everybody, maybe don't be stupid"

I haven't been posting about politics because hey other life stuff is more important, but this all sucks man. Just a bunch of dumb shit so dumb that even my apolitical, kind of liberal parents are like "what is this dumb shit."

I'm sorry the media can't say "Biden needs to step down" when headlines like "his approval is going up in swing states" exist. You can't say "his debate changed everything" and also "seems like it didn't matter."

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I hope so! I think a happy medium between too much and too little is the right way to go, although I hope the people monitoring the analytics think about how one person is doing all this coverage and apply it accordingly. Very used to people at the top wanting too much from so little

I think people seriously underestimate how most people don't really care about the news and just vote based on something like "yeah he seems cool" or "people aren't going to vote for Bernie he's a socialist"
