And the other thing is that the graphical improvements have not made humongous strides.

And like we mentioned a couple of weeks ago when we talked about the state of consoles,

Red Dead 2 is still one of the best-looking games out there, and that runs on the PlayStation 4.

And the reason I don't buy this argument is because that game looks just as good on the PlayStation 4 original.

Red Dead 2 running on the PS4 original to just a game running on the PS5, a modern game running on the PS5, it is not a huge increase the way it is from, say, the PS3 era to the PS4 era.

All right.

Let's get to this next question.

This is from Ewan.

Ewan writes, I'm not usually a big nonfiction book reader, but I really enjoyed Jason's books and now I'm yearning for more.

Reading through Press Reset in particular, I've been noticing a bunch of parallels in the podcast industry where I work.

Maybe that's your next journalistic endeavor.

Triple Click

Hmm.

As far as I know, Kirk and Maddie have yet to publish any books.

Triple Click

Do you guys have any plans for that?

And what would you choose to write about?
