192: A Grunge Smoothie

We talk for like an hour about Assassin's Creed Shadows this week, plus 33 Immortals, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (big week for 33 around here), Keita Takahashi's To a T, a $500 Switch 2, Xbox's gaming Copilot AI, the strange possibilities of an Oblivion remake, a little about GDC, and more.

Here's the essay about Oblivion's Radiant AI we talked about a bit: https://medium.com/@gatherer286/lost-features-a-critical-essay-on-tes-iv-oblivions-radiant-ai-a0150144ddef
