  • Gaming Is Still Amazing (Despite Everything)

    Gaming Is Still Amazing (Despite Everything)
    Feb 9 2026
    In this episode we talk about Unreal Engine’s influence on movies and TV, the current AI panic in games, and why being constantly mad about tech is a losing game. We also dig into owning your services, GOG’s push toward Linux and preservation, and why mid-tier games deserve more love.

  • Steam Deck LCD Is Gone, the FPS Shift, and Doing Things for Yourself

    Steam Deck LCD Is Gone, the FPS Shift, and Doing Things for Yourself
    Jan 19 2026

    Season 2 of the Dual Comm podcast has arrived.

    We discuss the Steam Deck LCD going away, likely due to RAM shortages. We talk about giving gaming less of yourself to enjoy the hobby more, and then dig into the self-help trend flooding YouTube around hobbies. We also talk about a PC Gamer article noting that the focus of major FPS releases is shifting away from competitive play and toward more relaxed co-op experiences. We wrap by talking about dopamine sensitivity, doing things for yourself, and creating.

    Thanks for watching.
