About this episode
Possibly the most hotly anticipated PC port of all time — The Last of Us Part 1 — finally got its release this week but with shader compilation issues, poor performance, textures not loading, and more you really should avoid it. But why did it release in this state and are the issues just on the Steam Deck?
Max and Steve also discuss the exciting prospect of the Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator coming to Steam complete with CLOUD SAVES! Will this be a trend moving forward?
Then we close out the show with some fantastic listener questions and Max shares some of his thoughts on the hot new game you should be playing instead of The Last of Us, Dredge.
