Emily Wilson shitting on the Odyssey movie seems graceless to me. As a Homerian scholar maybe she should just be grateful for what the movie is doing to introduce her favorite subject to people on a massive scale? I’m sure much of her criticism is valid but she comes off as a bore in that article.

Obviously the next PlayStation won’t have a disc drive but it will presumably also be backwards-compatible with PS5/4 so do you think Sony will at least release some kind of add-on drive so people can play their old physical games on it?

Haters back off, the Steam Machine is the best tech purchase I’ve made in ages. I’ve been trying to make a living room PC work for years; this is the first time that a PC has felt like another console under the TV. And the performance is more than good enough for everyone except the spec fanatics.
