If there is a point, it's not rambling. I know some people just say "podcasts are full of rambling," but I would counter that those quotes are coming from people who haven't listened to many good podcasts...

2020-09-23 11:19:38 +0000 UTCGreat stuff. Insightful.
2020-09-23 10:15:45 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Regarding the XSS performance, I agree it's a 1080p console. One thing I think people are forgetting that most of the HDTV market is still 1080p. So, for those people, there's no good reason to spend the extra money on an XSX. It's a console for gamers without a lot of disposable income, and I think it'll work well for those folks.
