Join Closer-in-Chief, Big Smoke and Jolly Green as they riff across gaming, tech and culture — from full‑dive VR and haptic suits to AI‑generated games and the looming prospect of AGI. The hosts trade anecdotes about streaming mishaps, virtual socialization after COVID, and pop‑culture touchstones like The Matrix, Rick & Morty and Ready Player One.
Topics covered include procedural AI worlds, Neuralink‑style interfaces, ethical risks of digital copies of consciousness, subscription models for games (and even warfare), and how corporate control and housing economics shape the future of play. Expect candid opinions, local color (accents and diner talk), and a constant caffeine deficit that keeps the conversation chaotic and entertaining.
Key takeaways: immersive tech is advancing fast, AI will reshape creation and ownership, and the social/political consequences of those changes are as urgent as they are uncertain.
