Ryan expresses his disdain for broken movement mechanics in games such as Apex Legends, and the obsession with gamers wanting to post the next viral clip on social media. This sparks a discussion on movement and its place in games today. Slide canceling, bunny hopping, tap staffing, OH MY! Chris admits a younger him would overcharge his parents' credit card on Fortnite skins. He also talks about how the live service model in modern gaming is negatively impacting players, and complains about how game developers today consider cosmetics and micro transactions "content."
