    Casual Mode | Episode 2: You Won’t Believe How Long They Talk About Storage

    Hi. Ed here. I edited this. I regret some of it. This episode features Karl, Ethan, and Dan doing what they do best, which is starting on gaming news and TV chat, then immediately drifting into political commentary with the confidence of men who have Googled at least one headline. From there, things slide into a long nostalgia trip about tech and gaming. RAM and storage limits get discussed way more than any normal person would expect, which tells me all three of you were traumatised by deleting save files at some point. Data privacy comes up too, mostly in a “remember when this felt less bleak” way, while continuing to use modern tech anyway. Windows Phone somehow gets a serious mention, which I left in because it made me laugh. There’s also console exclusivity chat, because obviously someone had to defend their plastic box of choice. The middle section is basically retro mobile games: tiny screens, terrible controls, and games you all insist were brilliant despite the evidence. Lots of fond memories, mild exaggeration, and strong “this was better back then” energy. We eventually stagger into a YouTube Premium discussion. Some of you pay for it. Some of you judge the ones who do. Nobody changes their mind. I cut none of it.
