Summary

This week we're doing some follow-ups on recent episodes to fill in a few blanks. Spurred on by the PS5's Spider-Man 2, we wanted to talk about the recent advent of gaming at 40Hz, and that led us to finally talk in some more depth about Brad's new television set. Will has also been testing a coffee brewer FROM SPAAAACE!!!! or at least co-designed by an astrophysicist, and has some tips on zero-bypass brewing, wetting your paper filters (eww), and more.

0:31.5	Like, I don't want to have some stupid case that I paid too much for from Target or Amazon or something to put them all in.
0:38.9	You don't want to have to worry about whether you'll be able to play them on the next switch or not, because that's a hot topic right now is what the switch two's backwards compatibility is going to look like and whether it'll even be able to accommodate that type of cartridge or not.

0:57.1	None of these things are the actual problem I have.
0:59.7	So I don't know about your house, my house.
