Summary

There comes a time when even the most laid-back people will find something that irks them to no end, and Patrick has found that thing this week. Are your monitors level? Are they the right distance apart? Are they perfectly aligned? Probably not, but hopefully it won't be too distracting. Thankfully the news that Sega is pulling old Sonic games in order to re-release them distracted Patrick long enough for us to launch into a conversation about emulation and "stealing." After the break, Ren reports in from the Overwatch 2 Beta currently underway, and finds the changes from 1 deeply underwhelming. Rob's checking out Dune: Spiceworld and enjoying the sowing part more than the reaping. Cado's finding zen in the art of card stacking with Stacklands, a card based rogue-like village builder with chill beats to make small piles of cards to. Then the crew dives into the question bucket to help Ren out with that whole Halo gun situation.

Discussed: Patrick's Monitor Woes 1:12, Emulation and Piracy 28:54, Overwatch 2 53:27. Dune: Spiceworlds 1:37:28, Stacklands 1:43:57, Question Bucket 1:52:27, Outro and Announcements.

0:29.2	I produce a record of Contreras. Yeah. And we have some exciting news here. Patrick has become a
0:37.0	being a pure efficiency. He's living that multi-monitor life. He invested. Now, I remember Patrick
0:44.4	got very excited because he bought a really nice dull monitor and got a really good deal on it.
0:48.0	And he wouldn't have bought himself a good monitor unless he got a good deal. Like he needs
0:52.1	unless nice things fall off the back of a truck into Patrick's lap. He won't give himself
0:57.3	nice things. Patrick, the dead end turns out you're very excited. You're messaging me. I think
1:01.5	this past weekend. You're like, hey, guess what? A matching monitor. And not yet another. So, yeah.
1:08.0	Yes. So the... Let me just pull it up on. Let's buy you the Dell.
1:14.4	Oh, come on, website. The S2721DGF27inch, which is like the monitor. They're like when I talked

1:32.7	Got that. But waited. Because I was like 500 bucks. I just spent two grand on the PC. I got to wait
1:39.9	more time. And so part of the reason people recommended this one was specifically that it goes
1:44.7	on sale substantially all the time. You just have to be patient and just wait for. It doesn't even
1:51.2	have to be a good holiday. It's just websites looking for a reason to put a deal and tie it to a
1:57.2	holiday. And so like one of those rolled around, the monitor went from its listed, you know,
2:02.7	its MSRP is $449 to $300 new. But then you just scroll down a little bit. It's like, hey,
2:11.4	hey, what if it was just like a box that was already open? Perfectly good monitor.
2:17.2	But maybe it was opened and why is it back in this box? Can't really tell you. Will we give you
2:22.9	a warranty? Yes. You can return this shit. Would you like to knock off an additional $80? And
