I think it's great.... in the past he has expressed his admiration for the kind of radio that long-haul truckers listen to, and I have long commutes so Jeff doing that has been great.

The segment where he spends half an hour reading all the delisted Discovery titles from PSN was honestly one of the highlights of the series

That being said, we're not really in a crash, it's just that the industry hired a quarter of a million people between 2020-2022 and now interest rates are really high to combat inflation that's partly caused by food company CEOs deciding to up their prices arbitrarily since they could just blame Biden for it and money is just very expensive right now.

Yeah, we're gonna lose more people and it's gonna suck, but it's not gonna be 1983 again.

Geoff always had the charisma of wet dogshit so its been a whiplash to see how he was somehow the one that ended up with the bag after every award show/E3 tradeshow cratered. I have no idea how he had the capital or influence to get this far, he seemed no better or interesting than a C-Lister on G4. In a better world Giant Bomb didn't get vaporized piece by piece because they would have been my pick to be near the top, instead it's a starfucker who is going to definitely wind back around to SpikeTV levels.

A Penny's Big Breakaway dev on the Steam forums explaining to some users that's it's not a big deal for the game's crash handler to collect your file listings for all drives, network storage, OneDrive files, Microsoft account email address, and dump it all in a plaintext file.
The software that does it is open source, and it doesn't actually send the file anywhere like some of the game's multiple EULAs say, so it's ok really.

Security hotfix is out and the game doesn't do this anymore

I don't know by what definition you could say it's not a crash. The 1983 crash was caused by essentially the exact same factors: demand for video games went way up really quickly, so the industry over-invested to meet it where it thought it would end up, and they were dead wrong. Market saturation can't be helping either. The crash was a foregone conclusion from the moment they decided to recklessly scale up with no plan for the future other than "hopefully number keeps going up forever". This time won't end up like 1983 (i.e. industry basically dies all together) because there's just too much money in it for it to die completely, plus it's more decentralized than it was back then.
