Call For Questions For DF Direct Weekly #221 (Patreon)

Hi there, how are you? Doing well here, thanks for asking... despite the fact that Thursday is upon us once more, meaning that three Digital Foundry staff, usually including Rich (ie me) will be sitting down tomorrow to talk about the latest gaming and technology news. No prep work as of yet, but we will be sharing our thoughts on the Microsoft/Xbox lay-offs and trying to figure out what the strategy is that emerges in the wake of one of the most savage rounds of redundancies we've seen yet.

This follows in the wake of controversy surrounding Microsoft's hardware strategy, which we may or may not discuss tomorrow. Xbox is committed to a tenth generation console, so some of the discourse has been surprising.

Other topics on the docket? We'll be talking about the AMD hearts Sony announcement this week concerning what Mark Cerny has described as RDNA 5 and the Amethyst initiative. We may also talk about Donkey Kong Bananza's developer reveal - it's the Mario Odyssey team, apparently. And we'll be "pouring one out" as they say for the GTX 700, 900 and 10-series cards that are finally losing driver supports. RTX 5070 Super/5080 Super leaked specs? Also possible.

Anything else you feel we should be covering? Reactions to any of this week's topics? And what about supporter Q+A? Ask your questions below! Chances are it'll be Rich (ie me), John and Oliver in their literal hot seats and the deadline for your probing queries is 8am BST Friday morning.
