RIP BioWare, the $1,800 PS6, and six-fingered samurai | DLC Podcast Ep. 002

EA shut down BioWare, the studio behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Dusky takes it personally. Solid has never played a single BioWare game. Meanwhile Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is "not discontinued" (Newegg says $10,000), Sega shipped six-fingered samurai and pulled Shogun 2 two days later, and we lock in our PS6 price: $1,800. Sources: cited. Credentials: still pending. Also this week: PS6 vs. Xbox Helix and what a TFLOP actually is, DLSS 5 leaving faces alone, the Uncharted trilogy running on PC, Modern Warfare 4, TheBurntPeanut vs. the VTubers, the Diwali delivery prank, and "super intelligence." 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 weekly.
