This week, John, Niki, and Lotus stare down the barrel of a very slow gaming news week, so they tackle some additional stuff, too, including:

1. Twitter's Gen AI CSAM and sexual violence catastrophe
2. Microsoft's CEO begging us to stop calling Gen AI "slop"
3. GOG cofounder buys GOG from CD PROJEKT (which he also cofounded)
4. GPUs are going to get even more expensive
5. Splitgate sequel is not going very well

We played:

1. Formless Star, the follow-up to sublime Franken
2. Final Fantasy IX, perhaps the best of the entire franchise

We also answer your burning HIVE QUESTIONS straight from our lovely Discord.
