Second Life | Sacred Symbols, Episode 276

The new era of PlayStation 5 is here, at least in terms of a hardware revision. Like every PlayStation console before it, PS5's upgrade comes packing a smaller form factor, and increased storage and an optional disc drive sweetens the deal. But this so-called PS5 Slim comes with a peculiarly stubborn price that isn't reflective of generations past. Could it be that the dueling pressures of inflation and monetary conversion rates have finally come to bear? Either way, one thing's for certain: These new consoles will sell by the millions upon millions in the months to come, and if you want an old-style PS5, you better act before it's too late! Other news this week revolves around crescendoing rumors concerning a PS5 port of The Last of Us: Part II, fresh PS+ offerings, and more. Listener inquiries close our show, as is tradition. Is there anything actually there with these Disney/Electronic Arts rumors? Could right-of-repair change the way we interact with our hardware and peripherals? How come PlayStation doesn't get any credit for Sony's mobile success with Fate Grand Order? Does Chris think Brazillian is a language? Follow the hosts on Twitter!

Dustin if you read this somehow while in Chicago go to Kuma's corner! Awesome burger joint where all the burgers are named after metal bands!

When the intro timestamp bar at the bottom of the youtube player is longer than any other segment you know its a Colin and Chris only show 😂😂

Those little green children holding a flag are called “Sammy Slow Dolls” in upstate New York. One of my old roommates had one because she thought our neighbors drove too fast. They’re funny to look at but not very effective.

The Dustin slander is unreal! Stop kicking him he's already dead! :c He really does need that otaku detox though *ahem*

Colin’s approach to the commuter situation is completely correct. Anyone “being put in a situation” needs to read the book Boundaries. Passive aggression isn’t the answer.

Don't ever change, boys.. cracking my ass up with the intros to these shows.. Most weeks, I don't finish the show with listener inquiries because I don't have time mainly BECAUSE I listen to the shit you come up with at the start of the show.. laugh out loud hysteria. Fucking great. ... and Colin's hilarious "..thank you for writing in." - I say that at the end of awkward conversations at the office now. Before walking away after I've stared at the cube wall for 10 ominous seconds, I say "Thank you for writing in.." then leave. LOL - it's a culture, and I'm loving it.

Adding to the conversation after listening to the commute fiasco. I am in HR at my corporation and even though we are starting to do Return To Office, there are still concessions in place for situations like this. We just got out of a pandemic. The company clearly was able to function with everyone working remotely. This gentleman with the knee surgery HAS a valid reason to work remotely until their doctor's orders state that he can drive again. THAT is your OUT. Kindly ask him if he's talked to HR about his situation, or even just asked his management if he could work from home while he heals. It's a win-win. He shouldn't be required to go to work if he can't physically drive to get to work, unless he's an hourly employee doing something with his hands that requires feet on the floor. And if that was the case, I would argue that with a knee surgery, you should then be put on a short term medical leave and given some recompense while waiting to heal. These are just tidbits of wisdom and advice from someone who works in HR day-in and day-out at a Fortune 100 global healthcare company. Hope you get it figured out. Sometimes people just don't want to ask the simple questions that are obvious. If he doesn't want to talk to his manager, he can talk to HR. if he doesn't want to talk to his manager or to HR, well that's when you technically can voice his concerns for him. You are in a situation. And this is how you resolve it. Let us know what happens!

"Yeah, he is just a little guy." Oh my Christ, I laughed so hard at that. And seemingly how unaware Collin was is hilarious.

I would absolutely listen to two separate spiderman 2 spoiler reviews.

Chris, I truly despise the current Israeli (my) government and do not agree with many decisions and actions it and former governments had made and taken, but pairing it with Hamas (an ISIS-like terrorist organization), stating the two are at fault is plain wrong. Hamas and NPA are two different entities, in fact, they have butchered many of them (their own people) back in the day when they took over Gaza and drove the NPA to the west bank. There's of course much more I can say, but please, just try and imagine how hurtful it can be, when you put an evil terrorist organization and a (still) democratic and liberal country in the same sentence, for me at least.

Strange episode.
