Hey man, it's just released early for your convenience. I save my podcasts for the morning when I have coffee ready :)

Need to buy espresso pods... thank you for the reminder! On a side note I appreciate your early post 👌

How long will it take for the 3950x to be considered slow or a dinosaur? 8 years, when the 6950x drops?

Just spit ballin': I think in 2024, with Zen 5, the 3950X will be like the 1800X now....or in other words worse than the 5600X that year.

Will definitely be getting a PS5 but going to wait. Not because of money but because of improvements. Sure there will be a less power hungry and better looking slim or similar pro version after a couple years. Did the same with the PS4 Pro and glad I did not buy the base PS4 day 1. Have plenty of games to catch up on before playing the new ones.

Very nice episode and good choice of guests. I have GamePass ultimate on PC and I've enjoyed it a lot. I don't care for Microsoft exclusives much, but having a "Netflix for games" has been very nice - I discovered lots of games that I would traditionally be reluctant to buy since I wasn't sure if I'd like them. That said, I hope this is not a "race to the bottom" situation, also with the ever more popular games as a service and microtransaction models. What I worry is that more and more devs/publishers will push for those kinds of revenue models - I worry that this will more and more interfere with the design of games. Personally, I want a game that provides a good single player experience from start to finish - I don't want my "game" to in fact become kind of a threadmil, time sinker and a platform for microtransactions / seasons.

Great podcast. In my top 3. Felt only half as long as it actually was.
