This banger:

I'm on roguelike total-exhaustion mode. Will definitely check it after a few linear, finishable-in-a-few-hours games.

Guys, don't panic. Do you think the man that has copies of Batman on VHS somewhere on his basement doesn't know the value of preservation?

There will be a way. Because Giant Bomb finds a way.

If there's one site or group of people that I trust won't take my money and run, is Giant Bomb / Jeff.

So I'm up to what's next.

Is it a dumb thing to say that I'm buying a PS5 because I have a decent gaming PC?

The way I see it, Microsoft is bringing most of their heavy hitters to Windows, too. So I risk missing more games if I don't have a Playstation.

edit: I'm seeing some people already brought this point, so I'm not that clueless :D

According to Steam, on their annual hardware survey, only 2.3% of their users have 4k resolution monitors. And that's Steam users, that are only PC gamers. I believe the users on Giant Bomb with 4k AND hdr most be half that, if anything.

So I don't think it's high on their priorities, nor it should be on the near future.

Give me 1080 with better framerate any day :D

And, as @kaname says, resolution can be whatever, if bitrate is low, it's gonna look like ass, just bigger.

I'm super late on my Bombcast backlog. Somehow the quarantine gave me less time to actually listen to podcasts.

Just yesterday I was listening to 621, from February. At the readers' questions section, one Terrell from Pennsylvania (Sorry if it's not the name, I suck at understanding names) gave the guys a list of predictions of stuff to happen in the next five years. One of them is the acquisition of Bethesda from Xbox.

Imagine my surprise when I woke up today in the morning, and heard the exact same thing in the news.

Pretty crazy.

It was fun re listening to the dudes talking about the possibility six months prior.

This is the podcast: https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/621-groove-is-in-the-heart-vr/2970-19930/premium-video

The question starts at 2:25:41, and the actual prediction at 2:29:45

Lol, thanks a lot. That's the one.

I don't know why Ben finds it so funny. His laugh is really contagious, but I really don't understand the joke.

Any clue?

Thanks!

@jesus_phish: Thanks a lot. That clears it up! Seems a lot of fun.
