Show Notes
EGP 315 turns into a CES therapy session as Gray, Trev, and Hans unpack why the Consumer Electronics Show felt anything but consumer-friendly. Between NVIDIA, AMD, and endless AI buzzwords, CES looked more like a corporate earnings call than a gamer showcase, with Jensen Huang’s shiny jacket getting almost as much attention as GPUs. The crew digs into missing Ryzen reveals, questionable charts, DLSS 4.5, frame generation madness, and why cloud gaming via GeForce Now keeps creeping closer to center stage. Things get delightfully weird with Razer’s Project Ava (aka the holographic waifu assistant nobody asked for but everyone wants), foldable phones, RAM shortages, and fears that PC building is becoming a museum hobby. The episode wraps with Rockstar Games, union disputes, and why the industry feels like it’s changing faster than gamers can keep up.
