Hang on, is Tempcast really back to a weekly schedule? Hell yes!!!
Honestly, I can't believe it has been 4 years since the... second to last week's episode. It really felt shorter. I guess the EOFcast episodes helped a lot.
As for thumbnails: us using the RSS feed just see the standard thumbnail anyway. Nothing generated by Chad Gippity or not.
(edit: and now I need to get commenting on the previous episode, can't let that backlog grow...

We're going to do our best! Might not necessarily be weekly, especially because the only way that we were able to get this one out was for us all to wake up at 3:30 am to start recording at 4:00 am.Hang on, is Tempcast really back to a weekly schedule? Hell yes!!!

It's difficult to work around the schedules of Dr. AlanJohn; Ericzander, Esq.; and international sex symbol Relauby. But we're definitely going to commit to more.
Still working out the kinks to hit the production "quality" of yesteryear.
Oh and by the way, last week's episode isn't canon. It wasn't in the original manga. This is the real revival!
Haha!
Okay, will admit I lost braincells during the whole "This character is ugly" part...
But the "they might be using AI" for ports?
Yeah, debatable.
It's not like it can easily be done, sure AI can assist, but I recently learned the vast differences between RISC, CISC, and ARM and other shit like that?
Well, the GameCube was based in PowerPC wich is RISC Architecture, which needs huge translation tasks if uses in CISC or ARM architectures. Of course, the developer can tune the instructions, but it's the main reason why, for instance M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 CPUs MIGHT be better at GCN Emulation than for instance Intel CPU.
GameCube & Mac = RISC. Emulation doesn't bottleneck in translation.
Intel and ARM ≠ RISC = Emulation suffers from the translation tax.
So of course, if these developers are indeed using AI assistance, by all means do it to provide the best possible product without alienating platforms.
Either way, people who wants it, will use it regardless of "morality"... special when using final product costs nothing.

"I think we're gonna rebuild trust with everyone", right after throwing in some shit about Charlie Kirk. LOL! I'll say what the majority want to say. Fuck that piece of shit & just mentioning his name is worse than using AI for a podcast logo. And if you just transitioned I'm not sure how you could have EVER liked or supported the guy. He would have hated you. If saying you miss Charlie Kirk was sarcasm, you really need to work on your delivery.
Boring State of Play? Find a new hobby. And an hour of Wolverine? What? Did you even actually watch the show? It was less than 10 minutes. Also, "I don't like Wolverine" followed by thinking the game isn't going to be any good. Imagine that. Someone who doesn't even like Wolverine giving comments about a Wolverine game. It's as intelligent as the recent video I saw of a guy that hates coconut giving a review of how terrible Dr. Pepper Creamy Coconut soda is. Or something like a person that hates horror games and horror movies reviewing a horror game and giving it a low score.
"Steam Deck sold out" You forgot to mention how many they sold. When a place is only selling like 100 of something, the entire "IT SOLD OUT THOUGH!!!" thing becomes nothing but hype inflation/astroturfing.
"Couldn't finish RE2 because it was so scary". I stopped listening after that.
