Two distant friends work together to figure out life's most trivial problems.
Join Cian and Nick each week as they unpack what's going on in their lives, clash on their strange tastes of music and food, and serve you a savory discussion about what it's really like working in the games and tech industry.
Episode 8 - Figuring Out The (Postponed) PS5 Reveal - Figuring it Out
This week Nick and Cian talk about their predictions for the now postponed PlayStation 5 Gameplay reveal event. Other stuff's talked about too, but to pivot to first person for a hot second, we'd like to use this episode description to point you to some stuff that's waaaay more important.
Racism is alive and well (seriously, it never left), and the continuing trends of Police violence in America is just one of many vectors upon which racism rears its hideous, hideous head. This podcast is hosted by two white dudes, and while we're not (and never will be) experts on the Black experience in America, we want to support the fight against racism in any way we can. Here are some resources we've leveraged to help, and that you can use too:
