Episode 140 - All I wanted was a Steam Controller...

from Solid State Podcast · host John Joyce

This week on the Solid State Podcast, the only plan we could possibly be accused of having was… well none at all… See if you haven’t noticed, the world is in a bit of a… state of flux right now.  Need some RAM? Good luck. Does your product ship by boat through… certain parts of the world? Not right now it’s probably not. Oh and remember “Kyle”, the one helpful person you finally found at AT&T customer service? He’s been replaced by an AI “assistant” that apparently doesn’t realize the word “agent” has numerous meanings and doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t want to trade in my phone for a bottle of phosphoric acid… So with everything seeming to change on the daily, where does that leave three podcasters other than to embrace the crazy and chart our course through… whatever the heck is going on.  I try to but a Steam Controller… very unsuccessfully.  We all try to understand the naming conventions behind the latest gadgets… somehow more unsuccessfully.  Oh and Microsoft dropped the price of Game Pass and all we had to give up was Call of Duty? See, it wasn’t all bad!  Developer conferences looming right around the corner, somehow all this activity feels like the storm before the… umm… slightly bigger storm?  Buckle up everybody, turbulence ahead…
