RetroBytes: Thanks, Comments, and AI

RetroBytes is the show where Joe and Brian sit down, crack open some random video game topics, and let the conversation run wild. Every episode is part nostalgia trip, part heated debate, and part comedy show we never rehearsed. This week, we’re diving into what we're thankful for in gaming, Joe opens up the comment section and learns a lesson, and is AI a threat to the gaming industry? We’re unpacking the stories, quirks, and memories that make them worth talking about. And of course, no RetroBytes episode would be complete without bringing back THE WHEEL OF DISCUSSION. This long-lost relic is being taken out of storage to bring back some randomness to the conversation.
