This week's lunch talk dives deep into the ordeal of emulation on the Steam Deck, celebrating the successful (but two-hour-long!) setup of The Sims 2 for PS2 split-screen, and outlining a goal to get more retro consoles working like the Game Boy and Dreamcast. The conversation covers a weekend spent immersed in Cyberpunk 2077 and the surprisingly immersive gameplay of The Sims 3 PC version. Plus, you'll hear about the exhausting reality of juggling work, Promotional courses, and the sheer, unexpected terror of being nearly trampled by a stampede of track meet kids at the park. Tune in for tales of frustrating tech, gaming nostalgia for titles like Medal of Honor: Frontline and Kai Dark Legacy, and a homemade pot of chili!
