No Squares Shall Enter in the Circle of Winners | Sacred Symbols, Episode 364

Sony's recent PlayStation-centric corporate presentation illustrated just how powerful their gaming vertical is. Indeed, PlayStation 5 has already generated more revenue for the company than PS1, PS2, and PS3 combined, and in the last five years, Sony has netted more in profit from gaming than it did in all 26 prior years the brand has existed, combined. Within their presentation was a lot of interesting data, quotes, anecdotes, and more to comb through, and we do that with a fine-tooth comb. We also wonder why the video presentation was so awkward, stilted, and choreographed. Can these people not speak extemporaneously and off-the-cuff? But we digress! Then, we get into other pertinent news of the week: Bungie's indefinite delay of Marathon, rumors of Sony's potential interest in Warner Bros., fresh PlayStation 5 and 6 handheld rumors, and more. Then, we end the show (as we always do) with listener inquiries. Is Hermen Hulst truly to blame for PlayStation's serious first party woes? When will Ghost Story's Judas launch? Is controller rumble and vibration an important component of our gameplay experiences? Will Colin's 100 hours in PowerWash Simulator translate to the real world? Follow the hosts!

Its still funny to me that Sony pissed off Arrowhead so much that their next game is going multiplatform. Sony wasted so much time and money on failed garbage like Concord and didn't see Helldivers in front of their face.

I used to have a blanket "no" policy about product warranties. Now, because fridges, ovens, washers, dryers, and dehumidifiers are made to break in relatively short time (3-5 years, depending on what they are), I now believe geting warranties for those products I listed is actually +EV.

Its interesting, Colin seems to be dead set on Xbox's more open platform aproach to make no sense and to be almost suicidal. VGfightschool, on his youtube channel, has gone over this in great detail

He still thinks that Xbox is playing the same game as Playstation. They are not trying to make a console and sell games. They are positioning themselves in the future with Xbox and Game Pass being ubiquitous on all devices. I personally see a future where Playstation struggles because they wont be able to lean on exclusives anymore.

Just a note for Dustin and Chris: when asked for their opinion about something (the PlayStation financials), you don't need to be negative to sound smart. When talking about the "best place to publish", we don't need to jump immediately to how bad the storefront is, especially that it is as bad everywhere else, but maybe dig into why that is - number of consoles, how many gamers to feeds, what PS has to offer in comparison that would make this statement real. Or to worsen the impact of the financials by showing how bad the competition is (XBOX), while forgetting that Valve showed some aggression on the market and the little thing we call Switch/Switch 2 also out there. Cheers!

Great write-in about Herman Hulst. Cheers to the author.

I've talked to several hVAC guys and plumbers over the years. From what I understand the newer systems are way more reliable than boilers but also have the drawback of taking awhile to get hot. Your essentially running the static water out of the lines before the hot water gets to you. You might notice that the closer to the heater your bathroom is the faster it gets hot. I have no proof of it working this way but I've spent way too much time thinking about it

Excellent move getting a power washer Colin. You won't regret it. Take things slow. Don't mess with the siding (unless you crank that thing way down and ease into it) and most of all just have fun. I don't own one currently but I find it to give a similar satisfaction to mowing the lawn and weed whacking. Just keep in mind it's mad easy to blast a hole in your siding with that thing. Concrete is much more resilient

As someone that bought a PSP and 2 Vitas brand new I'll be down for buying one portable PS5. While I would be willing to pay upwards of $600 I don't think it makes sense to charge more than $500 depending on the GPU/CPU and functionality. Also I kinda disagree with Colin when it comes to the appeal of handhelds to the PC crowd. The steam deck in particular fits into this much desired slot for PC players that want to sit back and play in bed or on the couch from time to time. Sure having a kick ass PC is a dream but it's also much more difficult to manage long gaming sessions on. This is particularly true when it comes to things like JRPGs or strategy games that often require hours of grinding. The appeal of handhelds of all sorts is something I'm super glad to see the industry capitalizing on. I actually just got ordered my Switch 2 and it should be here by Friday! I'm sure there are limits to how saturated this market can get before companies start really taking serious losses but I'd personally love to see a world where every all the major gaming giants have some sort of handheld in rotation.
