The whole crew is back together again! Join Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado as they unpack Microsoft’s push into using AI to produce “gameplay,” which leads to a long discussion about the nature of art and creativity in a prompt-filled world. We also talk about the weirdness about Marvel Rivals developers being laid off despite producing a hit, before getting into their collective feelings over Don’t Nod’s latest coming-of-age drama, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. We also share brief thoughts on Civilization VII, While Waiting, Keep Driving, and others, before The Question Bucket takes us to a dangerous place: hey, is Chuck E. Cheese a restaurant?
