AI ate my PC. In exchange, we got Mario vs. Margit | DLC Ep. 001

A GTA 6 leaker says he'll release the whole game if his meme coin hits a $30 million market cap. Meanwhile, AI ate our RAM, took the RTX 5090, and in exchange gave us Mario fighting Margit in Elden Ring. Dusky and Solid review the deal. Findings: inconclusive. Confidence: total. Also this week: Microsoft's Maia chip, the 24GB 5080 rumor, the P.T. PC port, PS5 emulators written with AI help, our locked GTA 6 predictions, Rockstar's Discord mole, Gears of War: E-Day critics vs. Steam, a streamer vs. his own subreddit, Rainbow Six Mobile shutting down, and Epic's AI mandate. DLC is two guys with no relevant qualifications talking about tech, games, and whatever the internet is mad about this week. Occasionally a guest shows up with an actual credential and we ignore it. New episodes Thursdays. NO EXPERTISE.
