Crédito privado virou consenso no Brasil. Mas será que todo mundo está olhando para os riscos certos? Neste episódio do Stock Pickers, Lucas Collazo recebe Ulisses Nehmi, CEO da Sparta, para uma conversa direta sobre crédito privado. Gestor e empresário, Ulisses conta como transformou uma empresa inicialmente familiar em uma das principais casas independentes de renda fixa do país, com mais de 300 mil investidores e R$ 22 bilhões sob gestão. A conversa passa por risco de crédito, ilusão de segurança, estrutura de fundos, ciclos econômicos e os erros mais comuns de quem busca previsibilidade a qualquer custo. Um episódio sobre disciplina, gestão de risco e o que realmente importa quando o assunto é renda fixa.

Two huge surprises rocked the gaming world first was PlayStation with Hermen Hulst announcing out of nowhere that Bluepoint Studios has been closed down. The studio responsible for the Demon Souls and Shadow of the Colosus remake is no more, and the major takeaway from it seems to be changing circumstances and a new direction. Could this indicate that Sony is nowhere near down with live service and are there other studios in danger?Then there's Xbox which delivered a massive change in one fell swoop with Phil Spencer suddenly retiring immediately and Sarah Bond stepping down from her role too and taking their place is Matt Booty and Asha Sharma who's not involved with gaming at all and was part of the Windows Core A.I. team. What does this mean for Xbox? Is the final nail in the coffin now? Or could this be positive for the brand?Randy joins Sean and Marc to discuss both of these major topics. Plus Randy has been playing Reanimal, the God of War Sons of Sparta, and Marc has been playing Romeo is a Deadman and more Nioh 3. You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/PK_ihYqmREcListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44LAmazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTW Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/ Check out other W2M Network Shows LatestOtalku Cafe Episode (Anime): https://youtube.com/live/hAqFiIbfpZY Radulich in Broadcasting's Psycho Killer 2026 Review: https://youtube.com/live/ZRH9bs1-oXc Follow on X (Twitter), Blue Sky, Instagram & TikTok Sean onTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/W2MSeanSean on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/w2msean.bsky.socialSean on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sgarmer05Sean on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sgarmer05/Marc on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/HumanityPlagueFollow Us on all W2M Network Social MediaFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/w2mnetworkFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork

We were already recording this episode when unexpected news broke: Sony is shuttering Texas-based first-party remake and port specialist studio Bluepoint. Equally shocking -- when taking into context the many first and second party failures, flubs, and misalignments in recent years -- is PlayStation Studios lead Hermen Hulst still somehow having a job. Bluepoint has an exceptional pedigree alongside untapped potential, but that's been squandered by the same machinery that allowed them to make a multiplayer game in the first place. Who is responsible for all of this first party buffonery? What's with this obsession with established teams all chasing the same exact thing? And how lucky is Sony that the going is so good for PlayStation 5 that none of this really seems to matter? Here's hoping the bloodletting begins and ends here, but we're skeptical. Other news this week includes rumors of PlayStation 6's delayed timeline, when we might expect to see Santa Monica Studios' unannounced title, McFarlane Toys picking up the Sony toy license, and more. Then, we wrap things up with listener inquiries. On the back of Silent Hill: Townfall's PS5 console exclusivity, why does Sony bother chasing these deals these days? Does Fairgame$ have an icecube's chance in hell of succeeding? Will God of War's remake be one compilation or three separate games? Is Dustin ready for his fatherly snot-sucking duties?

Casting Through Ancient Greece
Teaser: Dual Hegemony? (Patreon)

Casting Through Ancient Greece

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 22, 2026 7:18 Transcription Available


What if the alliance that crushed Persia had become a lasting settlement? We revisit the brief window after Plataea and Mycale when Greece looked coordinated, and we test a bold idea: Athens commands the sea, Sparta secures the land, and both accept firm limits. From the outside it sounds elegant. Inside the machinery, doctrine, ideology, and economics pull the partnership apart.We trace why Spartan warfare favored short, decisive campaigns tied to helot stability, while Athenian power thrived on long-haul naval pressure, trade protection, and cumulative influence across the Aegean. Those clashing tempos made joint strategy awkward: one side sought closure, the other needed continuity. Then we tackle freedom itself. Sparta equated liberty with order and control; Athens tied it to participation and autonomy at home and, increasingly, among allies abroad. Each city believed it defended Hellenic freedom, yet each defined it in ways the other found threatening, turning coordination into a contest of values.Material realities widened the gap. The Piraeus, tribute, and fortified long walls made Athenian security inseparable from projection. Spartan strength remained agrarian and territorial, built for defense rather than maritime governance. Pausanias's overreach hastened a shift: Sparta withdrew from Ionia as Athens organized the Delian League, converting emergency leadership into durable influence. Could institutions have rescued a dual hegemony—arbitration councils, command rotations, codified spheres? Perhaps in theory, but the polis world resisted supra-city authority, and neither side could reliably practice the self-restraint required.Across strategy, culture, and political tempo, the same pattern emerges: wartime unity simplified choices; peacetime complexity revived incompatible logics. The result is a clear takeaway for students of ancient history and statecraft alike: alliances can win battles, but only institutions and shared definitions turn victory into order. If you found this exploration useful, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves Greek history, and leave a review with the single reform you think might have saved the partnership.Support the show

In this week's episode of GameBurst, we cast a critical eye over a turbulent period for the gaming industry. The news is dominated by Sony's strategic pivot, as the company confirms a remastered trilogy of the original God of War titles alongside the surprise release of the 2D prequel, Sons of Sparta. However, this nostalgic revival is offset by the somber news of the closure of Bluepoint Games, the celebrated studio behind the Demon's Souls remake, marking another casualty in a string of recent internal restructures at Sony. The industry also pauses to mourn Hideki Sato, the visionary engineer who designed every Sega console from the SG-1000 to the Dreamcast, whose passing marks the end of an era for hardware innovation. Furthermore, we examine the looming threat of global component shortages that Valve warns could impact hardware availability and pricing throughout 2026. Our "Pick of the Week" segment features a diverse range of titles, from the high-octane racing of Grid Legends to the indie charm of Cast n Chill and The Rogue Prince of Persia. Finally, we dive into the mailbag to address listener questions regarding podcast analytics and the motivations behind independent gaming broadcasts.   YouTube Recommendations: The Tragedy Of Becoming Better by The Masked Man: https://youtu.be/FNAyjfDUX2o?si=Rb46TxDd3wxEXPrJ Mass Effect - Shaped By Stories: https://youtu.be/ghAXbX-F5K0?si=WxFVibwCOMD8DKS1

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 21, 2026 is: laconic • luh-KAH-nik • adjective Laconic describes someone or something communicating with few words. Laconic can more narrowly mean "concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious." // The stand-up comedian is known for his laconic wit and mastery of the one-liner. See the entry > Examples: "Elijah did not enjoy all my choices. ... But my son listened closely to every selection. He remembered plot points better than I did and assessed historical figures concisely. 'Mean,' he said of Voltaire. 'Creepy,' summed up Alexander Hamilton. ... Most surprising, my laconic teenager shared my love of Austen. Those hours listening to Pride and Prejudice were some of the happiest of my parenting life." — Allegra Goodman, LitHub.com, 4 Feb. 2025 Did you know? We'll keep it brief. Laconia was once an ancient province in southern Greece. Its capital city was Sparta, and the Spartans were famous for their terseness of speech. Laconic comes to us by way of the Latin word laconicus ("Spartan") from the Greek word lakōnikos. In current use, laconic means "terse" or "concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious," and thus recalls the Spartans' tight-lipped taciturnity.

Join Here: ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠The latest segment of Notorious Mass Effect dives deep into God of War: Sons of Sparta, the surprise shadow-dropped PS5 exclusive from Santa Monica Studio and Mega Cat Studios. Released February 12, 2026, for $29.99, this 2D action-platformer—marketed as a Metroidvania—explores young Kratos during his Spartan Agoge training alongside brother Deimos, framed by adult Kratos (voiced by T.C. Carson) narrating to Calliope.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the core premise, gameplay execution, and franchise implications. The ~12-hour experience features light/heavy attacks, parry/dodge mechanics, color-coded enemy attacks, and "Gifts from Olympus" abilities like double jump and slingshot. Exploration includes interconnected maps, collectibles (owls, lore, olive trees), optional bosses, and upgrades via blood orbs.Critically, it holds a 69 Metacritic / 70 OpenCritic score—the lowest in the 20+ year God of War series—praised for brotherhood themes and retro style but criticized for stiff combat lacking impact, shallow Metroidvania elements, limited backtracking encouragement, repetitive story loops, and basic progression. Visuals sit between retro and modern but lack cinematic scale. The co-op controversy—initial listings implied full campaign support, but it's limited to post-game challenge mode—sparked confusion and refund requests.User scores sit higher at 8.2, with some quick Platinum achievements. Analytic Dreamz examines if this low-risk spin-off serves as franchise maintenance amid Greek trilogy remake news, or falls short of mainline prestige.Tune in as Analytic Dreamz delivers a concise, no-holds-barred breakdown of this polarizing entry—serviceable but forgettable for many, yet a nostalgic Greek-era return for fans.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
