Microsoft is softening its stance on your right to repair your own Xbox, which might save you a lot of shipping and downtime in the future, plus keep a lot of systems out of landfills.

DA VINSTER (Vinny): Do you guys have any excitement for the Steam Deck? As primarily a PC GamerI personally feel it will be the best handheld on the market, even without the lack of "exclusives" like the Switch has (although the PC exclusive is the tons and tons of indie games you get before anyone else).

Colby:  Pokemon Sword, Night in the Woods, Superliminal

JoeColeslaw: Anyone want to lend me their steam link pad thing so I can play Gas Station Simulator? Or I can wait until next year for the console port.

Sometimes, it's best to 'hit the reset button' in life like an overgrown lawn to just spend 2 days and get it back to a manageable level. Or a cluttered house, spend a week and get it deep cleaned so it's easier to maintain. Or, I don't know, MAYBE move across the country and unpack into your new house!

The same could be true in video games, you get so lost, or just want a fresh start. When have you pressed reset on games you're playing and start from scratch?

Today's episode was kinda messy, Colby and I couldn't hear each other for most of the recording, which makes it really hard to have a conversation. We posted what we had, but parts of it are definitely a little disjointed. We'll answer all the questions from this episode on Episode 249, which will probably come out on September 8th or 15th, depending on how my migration to Florida goes.

Colby:  The Ascent, Twelve Minutes, Stranger Things 3, Dead Space 2, Grounded
