Elsewhere, the dust has yet to settle from the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Jack features an article by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, detailing the problems with and developer sentiment of the game leading up to its release. Fro and Nate weigh in on “crunch culture,” which infamously plagued the end of Cyberpunk’s development cycle.
Part Two: We Watch a Karen in Florida Get Arrested
Jack presents to Fro and Nate video of a “Karen” in Florida caught on video having a meltdown while being placed under arrest. She claims her constitutional rights were violated when a local coffee shop requested she wear a face mask. In the midst of her anger, when her purse is confiscated “Karen” manages to channel her inner Bobby Hill.
Part Three: Would You Rather Swim Through Poo, or Dead Bodies?
Jack poses to Fro and Nate a couple of questions, stirring discussion during this otherwise slow week. Jack asks if Christmas decorations have been taken down, given it being midway through January. Following up, Jack throws a “would you rather” at Fro and Nate about swimming through… vile material.
