On this week\'s Pixels & Ink Podcast: Brendan, Chris, and Jordan return after a one-week break to talk about the new Democratic bill to discourage product scalping with bots, aptly named the "Stopping Grinch Bots Act." Naturally, this devolves into a strange tangent\\u2014Jordan thinks the name is inaccurate, and sympathizes with the Grinch\'s plight in the book. They continue on into the week\'s bummer segment: more news about Activision Blizzard\\u2014this time surrounding the resignation of Senior Tech Analyst: Jessica Gonzales, who was instrumental in employees\' collective action efforts for better working conditions. Moving into happier news, Chris gushes over the newest trailer for The Book of Boba Fett\\u2014Jordan and Brendan also think it\'s pretty neat.

Afterwards, the gang talks about the Orion Up Switch, and how it\'s kind of a ridiculous idea\\u2014Jordan is convinced it completely defeats the purpose of the Switch. To close off the news, the gang talks about Hayao Miyazaki\'s return from retirement\\u2014for the 19th time.
