Summary

Rob spent his weekend repairing an old PC, and before you ask: yes, it went according to plan and was very easy! No further questions, please! Then, Ren brings us Square Enix’s bizarre and borderline disrespectful AI experiment, The Portopia Serial Murder Case. After the break, Patrick checks in with the delightful indie games Moonleap and Teslagrad 2, Cado is enjoying Advanced Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp but has some aesthetic questions, and we get into the nitty gritty of waste management in the question bucket.

0:22.2	episode 561. I'm your host, Rob Zachney, and I'm joined by Ricardo Contreras. Hello!
0:29.4	Patrick Lappin. Hi. And without a price. Hey. So I'm going to hope this this
0:38.3	recording all goes well. I've got a little thing in the corner of my display. It
0:43.5	says I should activate Windows because I changed hardware and so Windows
0:49.5	doesn't look like we did multiple events on a PC that we could not activate
0:54.6	because we could not find the person who bought that license couldn't give us
0:57.9	the code activating is a suggestion. I also I have no idea it's it's like you

1:22.3	don't I didn't do anything. I turned that PC on. Windows was at the base. Like I'm
1:27.0	sure there's maybe there's a key in it. I didn't register anywhere. Where's that key?

1:44.1	Manufactured. It's fine. I'll just for me open that PC put something in it. It couldn't be me.
1:48.7	Yeah. It's so right now it's this M in this weird state of it's a bit like a new
1:55.8	PC, but also it's exactly like my old one because it like restored everything pretty well.
2:01.6	But it's it's it's cognizant of hey hardware has changed. So you have to reactivate everything
2:08.5	that runs on a sort of you know, intrusive license. But that was most of my weekend was
