Summary
This episode the crew debates rumors around GTA 6, including delayed physical editions, staggered PC releases, and whether Rockstar is once again triple-dipping its way to the moon. Things take a nostalgic turn with a fan-made Banjo-Kazooie PC port running at 4K, 120 FPS, and ultrawide, proving modders are still doing the work publishers won’t. Hardware talk with Micro Center’s shockingly good Ryzen X3D bundle deals, rampant DDR5 RAM shortages, and reports of RAM being stolen straight out of Costco display PCs. We dive into fake RTX 5090 listings, absurd resale prices, Rainbow 6 Siege, new Alienware, DDR4 prices rising faster than DDR5, and much more.
