  • PS5 Pro copium

    Those four dudes literally just said that the PS5 Pro high price was “worth it” and “reasonable”. I’d suggest listening to pretty much any other podcast if you want rational opinions.

  • Ewan really needs to dial down the volume of his intro, it comes through at twice the volume of other podcasts and when you're not expecting it you nearly crash the car as your eardrums blow out
