A wild week in gaming as PSN accounts get stolen, Valve takes aim at scalpers, rare PS4 copies of Poop Slinger resurface, GTA 6's publisher flexes its expected profits, and the Game Deflators review Ed Edd n Eddy on GameCube. 00:00 Introduction 01:51 Recent Game Pickups and Magic Cards Discussion 04:51 Gameplay Experiences and Strategies in Commander 07:55 Exploring New Game Mechanics and Deck Strategies 11:06 Valkyrie Profile and Other Game Updates 14:00 Insurance for Game Collectors and Cataloging Collections 16:54 Personal Gaming Experiences and Stardew Valley 19:58 Soros Gameplay and Progression 28:47 News on Limited Game Releases and Poopslinger 34:25 The Impact of Limited Rare on Game Value 34:55 PlayStation Network Security Concerns 37:17 Xbox's Customer Feedback and Exclusive Games 39:02 Grand Theft Auto VI: Anticipation and Financial Projections 47:17 Valve's Strategy Against Scalpers 01:00:42 Ed, Edd n Eddy: Misadventures Review and Nostalgia 01:13:14 Outro John and Ryan dive into one of the strangest and most entertaining weeks in gaming news, blending industry shake‑ups, collector surprises, and a retro review that hits right in the early‑2000s nostalgia. They kick things off with the unexpected return of Poop Slinger, the notoriously rare PS4 oddball that suddenly started appearing in game stores. The guys break down why this bizarre title became a collector legend and what its reappearance means for rarity chasers. From there, the tone shifts as they dig into a growing security mess: PlayStation Network account thefts. Hackers are reportedly exploiting minimal recovery info to hijack accounts, and John and Ryan unpack how this is happening. Next up is the biggest flex in gaming: GTA 6's publisher openly bragging about the astronomical revenue they expect at launch. The hosts debate whether this confidence is earned hype or corporate chest‑thumping at its finest. Valve enters the spotlight with a surprisingly proactive move as the company unveils its plan to stop Steam Machine scalpers. John and Ryan explore how Valve intends to curb botting and whether this could become a model for future hardware releases. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week takes a nostalgic turn with a review of Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis‑Edventures on GameCube. Expect childhood memories, questionable physics, and a debate over whether this cartoon tie‑in deserves its current market price.   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com   Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

Rejugando 304: Forza Horizon 6, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Summer Game Fest y el regreso del ReJuniando Nuevo programa de Rejugando, en un episodio 304 marcado por el ambiente previo al Summer Game Fest, el regreso de la actualidad fuerte de la industria y una RetroBarcelona 2026 que dejó anécdotas, conciertos, encuentros con oyentes y muchísimas conversaciones sobre videojuegos clásicos y actuales. El programa arranca repasando precisamente todo lo vivido en RetroBarcelona, una edición especialmente multitudinaria donde el equipo coincidió con gran parte de la comunidad de Rejugando, otros medios y figuras históricas de la industria japonesa como Yoko Shimomura y Michiru Yamane. Entre conciertos, charlas, trivials y encuentros improvisados, el ambiente retro volvió a convertirse en uno de los grandes protagonistas del programa. Juegos que cumplen años: Pac-Man, Mario Galaxy 2, Persona 5 Dancing y más clásicos Como ya es tradición, el equipo repasa videojuegos que celebran aniversario durante esta segunda quincena de mayo. El listado deja momentos muy nostálgicos: Pac-Man cumple 46 años. Dragon's Dogma alcanza los 14 años. Odin Sphere llega a los 19 años. Super Mario Galaxy 2 cumple 16 años. Persona 5: Dancing Star Night cumple 8 años. Infamous alcanza los 17 años. Pandora's Tower celebra 15 años. Daikatana vuelve a salir a escena junto al nombre de John Romero. La conversación deriva también hacia cómo RetroBarcelona sirve precisamente para tomar conciencia del paso del tiempo en la industria y de la enorme cantidad de sagas históricas que siguen vivas décadas después. State of Play de PlayStation: Wolverine, Ghost of Yotei y apuestas para junio Uno de los grandes bloques del programa gira alrededor del anuncio oficial del próximo State of Play de Sony, fechado para el 2 de junio y situado estratégicamente justo antes del Summer Game Fest. Las apuestas del equipo giran alrededor de varios nombres: Marvel's Wolverine como gran protagonista del evento. El nuevo Horizon Online. Posibles novedades relacionadas con Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Rumores alrededor de Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3. El equipo también comenta el contexto general del “junio jugón”, con el Summer Game Fest de Geoff Keighley y el showcase de Xbox como piezas clave de las próximas semanas. PlayStation Plus sube de precio y PlayStation sigue generando debate Otro de los temas principales del episodio es la nueva subida de precios de PlayStation para los planes mensuales y trimestrales de PlayStation Plus. Se comenta especialmente: La subida del modelo Extra y Premium. La estrategia de mantener intacta la suscripción anual. El malestar generado por el anuncio de última hora. El encarecimiento generalizado de todos los servicios digitales. A esto se suma el debate sobre la política de comunicación actual de PlayStation, la estrategia respecto a lanzamientos en PC y el movimiento de mantener ciertos juegos first party exclusivamente en consola. También se habla de la reciente brecha de seguridad en PlayStation Network y de los problemas relacionados con recuperación de cuentas y autenticación. Xbox y la nueva etapa liderada por Sarah Bond El bloque dedicado a Xbox se centra en la reorganización interna de la compañía y en los movimientos liderados por Sarah Bond. El programa repasa: Cambios en la estructura directiva. La nueva interfaz de Xbox. El debate sobre la necesidad de recuperar exclusivos fuertes. El estado actual de la marca tras la generación Xbox One. Las expectativas alrededor del próximo showcase de junio. También se analiza cómo Xbox intenta reconstruir parte de la identidad perdida durante los últimos años mientras Game Pass sigue siendo uno de los pilares del ecosistema. GTA VI, Rockstar y cifras absolutamente descomunales Durante la grabación llegan además datos financieros actualizados de Rockstar Games y Take-Two Interactive. Las cifras comentadas en el programa son gigantescas: Grand Theft Auto V supera los 230 millones de copias vendidas. La saga GTA alcanza los 470 millones. Red Dead Redemption 2 llega a 85 millones de unidades. La franquicia Red Dead supera ya los 115 millones. A partir de ahí el equipo debate sobre: El posible precio de Grand Theft Auto VI. El futuro de GTA Online. La transición entre GTA Online y el nuevo GTA VI. Los rumores sobre bundles con PlayStation 5. El impacto económico gigantesco que sigue teniendo Rockstar. Análisis de Forza Horizon 6: Japón, coches, libertad y obsesión por conducir Uno de los análisis centrales del episodio está dedicado a Forza Horizon 6. El programa profundiza en muchos aspectos del nuevo juego de Playground Games: Japón como escenario principal El cambio de ambientación respecto a México es uno de los puntos más celebrados. Japón aporta: Carreteras urbanas inspiradas en Tokio. Zonas montañosas alrededor del Monte Fuji. Cultura automovilística japonesa. Mayor protagonismo de coches JDM. Estética más sobria y nocturna. Rendimiento técnico El equipo destaca: 60 fps extremadamente sólidos en Xbox Series X. Rendimiento espectacular en PC. Tiempos de carga rapidísimos. Excelente modelado interior de vehículos. Efectos climáticos y cambios meteorológicos muy avanzados. Jugabilidad y estructura El juego vuelve a apostar por: Mundo abierto gigantesco. Libertad absoluta. Eventos arcade. Derrapes, velocidad y exploración. Personalización de coches. Compra de casas y decoración. Desafíos online y rankings entre amigos. También se comenta cómo el juego funciona incluso para jugadores poco interesados en coches gracias a su enfoque accesible y relajado. La banda sonora recibe mención especial por incluir música japonesa contemporánea y temas de YOASOBI. Primeras impresiones de Yoshi and the Mysterious Book El otro gran análisis del episodio gira alrededor de Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Las primeras impresiones destacan: Un enfoque muy distinto al esperado. Mucho menos centrado en plataformas tradicionales. Mecánicas experimentales. Puzles y exploración. Sistema de descubrimiento de criaturas. Estética infantil muy cuidada. Música especialmente destacada. El juego sorprende por romper con la idea clásica de un plataformas de Yoshi y apostar por una estructura más experimental. Kingdom Come Deliverance 3 y el RPG de El Señor de los Anillos El programa también comenta el anuncio de: Kingdom Come: Deliverance III. Un nuevo RPG basado en The Lord of the Rings desarrollado por Warhorse Studios. La conversación gira alrededor del potencial de un RPG realista y detallista dentro del universo de Tolkien y del enorme reto que supone adaptar una licencia tan querida. Dungeons & Dragons cancela uno de sus proyectos También hay espacio para hablar de la cancelación de un nuevo videojuego de Dungeons & Dragons por parte de Hasbro. Aunque el proyecto desaparece, el estudio sigue trabajando junto a Hasbro en otros desarrollos relacionados con la licencia. Música, RetroBarcelona y comunidad Rejugando El episodio termina dejando claro el peso que sigue teniendo la comunidad alrededor de Rejugando. RetroBarcelona vuelve a convertirse en el punto de encuentro perfecto para oyentes, amigos y aficionados al videojuego clásico. Las actuaciones musicales inspiradas en sagas como: Castlevania Kingdom Hearts Final Fantasy XV ponen el broche a un programa cargado de actualidad, nostalgia, análisis y muchísimo ambiente de junio videojueguil. Y ahora sí: comienza oficialmente el “Rejuniando”.

fWotD Episode 3266: Flow (video game) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 14 April 2026, is Flow (video game).Flow (stylized as flOw) is an indie video game created by Jenova Chen and Nicholas Clark. Originally released as a free Flash game in 2006 to accompany Chen's master's thesis, it was reworked into a 2007 PlayStation 3 game by his development studio, Thatgamecompany, with assistance from Santa Monica Studio. SuperVillain Studios developed a PlayStation Portable version of the game in 2008, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions in 2013. In Flow, the player navigates a series of two-dimensional planes with an aquatic microorganism that evolves by consuming other microorganisms. The game's design is based on Chen's research into dynamic difficulty adjustment at the University of Southern California's Interactive Media Division, and on psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's theoretical concept of mental immersion or flow.The Flash version of Flow received 100,000 downloads within its first two weeks of release, and had been played over 3.5 million times by 2008. Its PlayStation 3 re-release was the most downloaded game on the PlayStation Network in 2007 and won the Best Downloadable Game award at the 2008 Game Developers Choice Awards. It was nominated for awards by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Reviewers praised Flow's visual and audio appeal, but noted the simplicity of its gameplay; several considered it to be more of an art piece than a game.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Tuesday, 14 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Flow (video game) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

If you thought we'd had the worst of the A.I. discourse, enter this past week, where NVIDIA unveiled DLSS 5, which was supposed to be their next big innovation, has turned into a nightmare for online push back, with even developers themselves not only making fun of it but also stating they were left in the dark on its existence. Sean and Marc share their thoughts on whether this is a glimpse of what we should expect in the future, or if it could prompt gaming to think differently about A.I. Crimson Desert has finally been released, and it has had its own set of controversies, from a mixed bag of review scores to their own issues with having players find Gen A.I. assets in the game and that doesn't even include problems with the game's control scheme too. But at least it didn't stop the game from selling a lot, as it already has 2 Million in the bag. Plus, Sean gives his thoughts on the indie game Rubato and more on Pokémon Pokopia. Resident Evil has its own sales milestone, can a majorly A.I. made game ever be a big success? Sony doing away with the PlayStation Network branding, and more on this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX.

The drama around DLSS 5 has overtaken the gaming industry during the last week. Nvidia's image upscaling tech has been present in our space for years, but its newest iteration (set for a proper fall release) has many people scratching their heads. Have we gone from frame generation to art reinterpretation? Why is this technology being deployed so aggressively, anyway? And how come so many companies were so excited about it until they saw the overwhelmingly negative audience response? Let's delve headfirst into the mystery of the Yassified Grace, and all of the fallout therein. Plus: A fresh rumor indicates PlayStation Network branding will disappear later this year, Sony has apparently automatically refunded people for any spending in the now-cancelled Highguard, PSVR2 second party FPS Firewall Ultra has silently been delisted, PlayStation 3 received its random annual firmware update, legendary Tom Clancy developer Red Storm has been gutted, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Have any of us messed around with a PS3 emulator? What's going on with Street Fighter 6's creepy new storyline? With Bravely Default skipping PS4 and PS5, is it safe to assume Square Enix isn't actually done with exclusives? Did two Sacred Symbols fans miss each other by mere seconds in a Dollar Tree parking lot?

In today's Daily Fix:Pearl Abyss' highly-anticipated open-world action-RPG Crimson Desert is finally out, and it's causing the publisher's stock to drop. Reviews for the game have been mixed-to-positive, currently sitting at a 78% on Metacritic, and that wiped out around 30%—about $13 USD—from the company's stock. Our own review-in-progress was a little tepid, calling out the game's promise but also the myriad of bugs. In other news, a bug update to Counter-Strike 2 is changing how the game handles reloads. The game will be adopting a Helldivers 2-esque reload mechanic where you lose any remaining rounds in the clip you're tossing out, instead of 'topping off' when you put in a fresh mag. And finally, Sony is making some branding changes to the PlayStation Network, specifically getting rid of that moniker entirely.

Gaming didn't just grow up... it took over.In this episode of Geekstorians, Dave dives into the chaotic, brilliant rise of gaming fandom: from the arcades of the late '70s and the night Space Invaders caused Tokyo to mint extra coins, to the Atari 2600 bringing pixelated magic into the living room, to the bedroom coders who unknowingly kick-started a creative revolution across the UK and US.We trace the console culture wars - Nintendo vs Sega, Mario vs Sonic, identity vs identity - and how gaming magazines, tip lines and school-yard myths became the pre-internet backbone of fan knowledge. Then it's onto LAN parties, MMOs that became entire eras of people's lives, the WoW meteor strike that reshaped the genre overnight, and the moment consoles finally connected the world through Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Halo 2's multiplayer explosion.Finally, we reach the age of Twitch, YouTube, esports arenas, indie devs, Discord servers and sprawling online communities. A culture that is messy, generous, chaotic, creative, and very much alive.This is the story of how gamers built one of the most influential fandoms on the planet... one joystick, one cartridge, one guild, one livestream at a time.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

EP-120 Parental Warning - Accelerationists Ahead Hey parents, have you heard of O9A, 764, or CVLT? Not covered by mainstream media, but their work is demonstrated on a national scale. These are online groups hunting your children for exploitation, extortion, blackmail, and for the lulz. Their ideology and methodology are often tied to Satanism, but the Department of Justice has come up with a term that better describes these dangerous terror networks: Nihilistic Violent Extremist (NVE). The What: O9A: Order of Nine Angels. This is an international phenomenon that started in the 1990's, and can be said to have birthed modern Nihilistic Violent Extremist networks. The underpinning ideological foundation of the Order of Nine Angels is said to be esoteric and satanic, but often the search for why obscures the nihilistic absence of philosophy. The underlying ideological foundation could be seen as a mask covering the true nature, which is simply the wielding of the tools: using violence to accelerate societal destabilization. The tool is the foundation. Associations with neo-Nazis or Satanists merely shows the vehicles of influence. The Order of Nine Angels has an international footprint, but its influence on other domestic organizations is what I see as its legecy. 764: This group demonstrates the accelerationism and decentralization within the Nihilistic Violent Extremist terrorism superset. 764 was founded in Texas by teenagers, which adds even further to the complexity of the NVE problem, often children are the perpetrators of network expansion within their own age cohort. At this point 764 is an old marker, as these accelerationist operators change names to avoid detection. A decentralized terror network has been created. Some have dubbed this decentralized network as The Com. "764 is a violent online network that seeks to destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often include minors. The 764 network's accelerationist goals include social unrest and the downfall of the current world order, including the U.S. Government." DOJ criminal complaint against the founders of 764 CVLT: Pronounced "cult", this group within the Nihilistic Violent Extremism network has been exposed in the last year through multiple arrests and federal charges. Within the charging documents the government states clearly, "CVLT members participated in their online child exploitation activities because they wanted to create an army of sadist followers." The first arrests were in Texas, but more followed across the country from New Jersey to Hawaii. Just as this podcast was being produced, a new NVE group under The Com umbrella named Purgatory has taken responsibility for swatting attacks on college campuses across the United States. The Where: Our modern digital world has replaced so much of what living life used to be in a community. Now, community resides all over the globe within the box in your home. Our children have access to these amazing tools that connect society in ways that has never existed. However, these tools of connected productivity, learning, and entertainment can also be the playground for nefarious actors. Broken and abused members of our society use these tools to facilitate and accelerate the percentage of abused and victimized cohort within our population base. Discord. Many parents know about this shared server system as a gathering spot for online gaming groups. The creative way communities can organize and communicate centered around gaming strategy and organization burst the platform into global popularity. However, this platform can be used by nefarious actors organizing for different games and purposes, and a child that simply sees the platform as a way to connect with others can be unaware of the nefarious characters lurking on the server systems. Roblox. Yes. A child can voice chat on the Roblox platform. The system requires a child to be 13 years old. Interestingly, 13 years old is the exact age where children are given privacy rights from their parents by the state for matters of health. PlayStation Network. As a parent, this was the first platform where I personally recognized the dangers of open online voice chats. Most often, these voice chats are not focused on gaming, but instead the community a child connects with. This occurred especially during the Covid era of canceled schools and mobility reluctance. The network randomly places people, including adults, into voice chats with children as they group-up for game play. These are just a few of the more popular "gaming centric" platforms where children and parents might be unaware of nefarious actors lurking for nihilistic violent purposes. "The how" could be any online organizing platform, and often times contact in one leads to invites to others. An innocent conversation on Roblox or PlayStation can lead a victim to a whole community of nefarious actors on a Discord server waiting to pounce. The Why: This is where my experience and opinion deviate from the simple labeling of law enforcement or the mainstream media. The hyperbolic labeling takes away from the systemic cause. "The neo-Nazi Satanists are coming for your children!" they say. But again, I see this outward facing ideology more as a mask of the underlying root. The flashy forbidden symbology of Nazis and Satanists are used more as shocking content vehicles more so than an adherence to a philosophical, political, or spiritual doctrine. At the heart is the possibility that the core perpetrators are victims of abuse themselves; but instead of finding safe pathways of love and healing, they become trapped in a vicious cycle of revenge that creates more victims. The revenge focused on society instead of the original perpetrator. "Nihilism is a philosophy characterized by a belief in the meaninglessness of life and existence, the absence of objective value, and the denial of knowledge or truth." Google Gemini definition "Nihilism" used by the Department of Justice cuts away the noise of the accelerationist tools, and cuts to a deeper meaning behind the violent groups. The likely possibility that those caught in the snare of accelerationist doctrine or behavior patterns believe the reality that surrounds them is without meaning or societal cohesion. Our shared reality becomes more of a playground for their predatory instincts. They see society as abandoning them, applying no value, so they then value society without worth. The lack of meaning and worth on a broad scale easily transforms down to the individual level where victims are prey, and the prey are turned into members. This further justifies the belief system, as groupthink is created through a false mirror or lens of reality. Nihilism also opens the door to something I have witnessed myself in cultures born in online settings. There is a possibility these packs of accelerationists do it for the lulz. The President of the United States Donald Trump once said in a speech, "We do a little trolling." Through an online culture of anonymous characters, a nihilistic viewpoint has developed where lying and deceit have become standard operating procedure. All of the tools used by these Nihilistic Violent Extremist groups can be traced back to an anonymous online culture of duplicity. Innocent trolling with memes that point out hypocrisy have morphed into people playing characters online for hidden goals and purposes. These LARPers (Live Action Role Play) mask themselves in a character. This allows them to behave in deceitful ways without remorse or consequence as they are playing a character and their identity is anonymous. This concept of LARPing seems to have 'accelerated' in recent years as more and more, people have dropped the veil of anonymity, choosing to live in reality as the LARP they constructed. No matter the probability of the possibilities discussed, Nihilistic Violent Extremist groups are a result of an abandoned segment of society that sees no value in reality. They are fueled by an accelerated tiered program of violence and control. The How: The pernicious nature of these extremist groups often resides in their age. The perpetrators are often in the same peer group as their victims. The founders of the 764 group were 15 and 16 when they started their venture into creating and accumulating child sexual abuse material. The tactics used by groups like 764 and CVLT within the superset of The Com are disturbing. The nihilistic predators find their victims in the open digital spaces. They target them through a tiered system of trust and exploitation, walking the victim through progressive steps toward ultimate violent ends. What starts with innocent or embarrassing progresses to abusive and illegal. Often the predators seek pornographic images or videos that they feed to their network for entertainment, but then turn back toward their victim for extortion and control. The process escalates from grooming to violent extorsion. A recent federal case resulted in a guilty plea from a Florida 19 year old man for possession of child sexual abuse material. He had in his possession 8,300 videos and images of exploitation. He had a folder on his computer dedicated to videos and images of victims that carved his online handle into their skin. This is just one of many examples. There are numerous federal cases where the tiered process of victimization led to bombing and murder attempts. The Department of Justice mentions nihilism, Satanism, and occult practices as the root philosophy or cause, but what is missed is the gamification of abuse. The predators become involved in a competition to create victims and earn "trophies". An ecosystem of abuse has been created where even the victims become wrapped up in the culture of the child sexual abuse material alternate reality game. Solutions In Our Digital Reality: One solution is easy for parents: Actively engage and monitor your children's online participation and networks. Speak clearly to them about the dangers and markers to watch out for. But honestly, that doesn't work. Kids from strong family structures is not what online groomers are looking for. These extremist groups prey on children without strong family structures. The core problem is at the intersection of privacy, digital anonymity, and children's rights. The core problem is our society. Good parents with strong family structures have looked away as the state gives rights to children to autonomously make health decisions. 13 years old has been designated as some quasi legal age for medical privacy and autonomous access to open internet platforms. More and more children are thrust into the role of mature decision maker in a world where predators have access to their spaces. In our modern digital age, the natural exploration of children within their peer group has been corrupted by the erosion of the bonds in our shared reality. The base corruption of our economic and bureaucratic systems has led to a crisis in accountability. The bond of societal norms has been degraded as individual realities exist outside of a shared environment, both for the successful and the neglected. Are the nihilists winning? Have we lost meaning in our reality where a rules based society and common rights and wrongs have been obscured past the point of no return? Accelerationists feed on a system of celebrity. Fame for the sake of fame regardless of right, wrong, or achievement. The constructed reality of fake celebrities has opened the door to this movement. As a society we must reject the constructs presented to us, and uplift those in our communities achieving meaningful contribution. Uplifting examples of local aspiration for good, and service to others, is one way we can stem the tide of the chaotic accelerationist's reality. Stable good parents must take on a larger role in society beyond their own family structure. An independent journalist, named Bx is at the tip of the spear covering this modern phenomenon of online accelerationism. You can find her reports on X here.

t's getting crazy out there. Fresh off of E3 Lite comes a slew of new game announcements, more than we could possibly cover, nonetheless play. And this brings up a good point, one we burrow down on: Who's gonna be able to buy and play all of this stuff in an ecosystem dominated by vacuum-like powerhouses that leave little room for competition?

Mark Cerny gives a rare interview and provides some insight into PlayStation's thought processes. Black Ops 6, Slitterhead, Civilization VII, The Thing Remastered, Doom: The Dark Ages, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and so much more were announced. Sea of Thieves dominates the PlayStation Network, foretelling an obvious continuing migration of Xbox games to PS5. And much more! Then: Listener inquiries.

fter a flurry of activity, we find ourselves in a bit of a lull. And frankly, that's good. We could all use a little bit of a rest. Doing so allows us to catch up, refresh, and anticipate what lies behind the next undoubtedly-busy corner. With E3's multi-pronged replacement readying a barrage of announcements and other newsworthy bits, let's clear what's on our plate at present. Firewalk's divisive Concord has been given a (compelling?) price, PSVR2 is receiving its long-rumored PC adapter, WB loses $200 million on Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game, the original Halo is rumored for release on PS5, and much more. Listener inquiries wrap things up, per usual. Does Astro Bot have the potential to be PlayStation's next big IP? Do Chinese games deserve more respect? Why doesn't PlayStation Network allow you to buy digital titles for your friends? Is Colin a psychopath for embracing the 'sock-shoe, sock-shoe' lifestyle?

In this episode of This Week in Tech, Leo Laporte is joined by Georgia Dow, Shoshana Weissmann, and Fr. Robert Ballecer, tackling a wide range of thought-provoking topics, from the ethical implications of AI in sensitive fields to the challenges of creating and consuming content in an increasingly commercialized digital landscape. The panel grapples with the potential risks and benefits of AI-powered therapists and priests, stressing the need for human empathy and discernment in these emotionally charged roles. They confront the harsh realities of the internet's "heat death," as the relentless pursuit of profits and engagement leads to a glut of low-quality content and erodes user trust. The group reflects on the double-edged sword of democratized media, celebrating the value of supporting emerging voices while acknowledging the importance of professional standards. As Twitter faces existential challenges, the panel surveys the social media horizon, evaluating alternative platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky, and weighing the implications of Jack Dorsey's departure from the Bluesky board. Elon Musk's reckless tweets about taking Tesla private have come back to haunt him, with the Supreme Court upholding an SEC settlement requiring his Tesla-related posts to be vetted by a lawyer. The FCC has cracked down on major telecom companies for the illegal sale of location data, while legislators push for reforms to prevent the government from exploiting privacy loopholes. Congress continues its misguided crusade to protect children online, with ill-conceived age verification mandates and privacy-eroding measures that threaten the very foundations of digital security. The panel offers an impassioned critique of these shortsighted efforts. The once-beloved video game Helldivers 2 serves as a cautionary tale of platform overreach, as a heavy-handed PlayStation Network login requirement sparks a massive player revolt and torpedoes the game's reputation. Apple's quarterly results are analyzed, and all eyes are on Apple's upcoming event, where new iPads and an enhanced Apple Pencil are expected to take center stage. But the real buzz surrounds the rumored M4 chip and its tantalizing AI capabilities, hinting at a potential game-changer for the iconic brand. The group geeks out over Disney+'s radical revival of X-Men '97 and Amazon's ambitious Fallout adaptation, complete with an immersive easter egg phone experience The freewheeling discussion also touches on Shoshana's ingenious Alexa hacks for Sabbath TV viewing, a UK council's apostrophe apocalypse, the looming cicada invasion, and Fr. Robert's role as a guardian angel for the Vatican's feral felines. Host: Leo Laporte Guests: Georgia Dow, Shoshana Weissmann, and Fr.
