And finally, for the throwback review of the week, here's a look at a most unusual port of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? It's definitely still Carmen Sandiego, but you haven't played it like this before.

Hey all, just a programming note, unfortunately episode #312 is going to be delayed a day or two. Going to try to have it done for Tuesday morning, but due to travel issues today, I didn't have a chance to work on it any further. Script is about 60% done as it stands.

No. There's no middle ground. If your game/movie/album uses AI, I won't play/watch/listen to it. It's that fucking simple.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.
