Laying Off the Isekai | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 264

It's time yet again for another episode of Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke! The entire gang from both shows convene -- Colin, Chris, Dustin, Matty, and Cog -- for a lengthy discussion about three topics in particular. First, we visit Microsoft's recent layoffs, contextualize them in the greater scheme of the larger economy and tech sector, and then get into the meat: What in the hell is going on at 343? Second, we segue to Starfield. Is it truly possible, in a world with Horizon and God of War running at 60 frames, that Microsoft's marquee game can only push 30? And does it even matter? And just what's going on with BSG, anyway? Finally, we get to everyone's favorite punching bag, Luminous Productions' questionable PS5 timed-exclusive Forspoken. Where did this one go wrong? Turns out it's a lengthy tale about a character who refuses to be quiet for a single second, if that's your sort of thing.
