    010: Trying A New Format, A New Home, NVIDIA DLSS 5 And More!

    The Game Overcast – Season 2, Episode 2 (Episode 10) Episode 10 of The Game Overcast is here, and this time we are chatting about the podcast officially becoming part of Save Slot Studios, what that means for the show, and what Save Slot Studios is all about. We also get into the reaction to NVIDIA and DLSS 5, and why so many people seem fed up with it. On top of that, we talk about how hard it is to actually find time to game and stream these days, especially when life seems to get busier the older you get. We also have a look at the Spring Steam Sale and the sort of games and deals we are hoping to grab, before moving on to the big SteamOS update and whether a new Steam Machine could actually have a chance, or if it is already doomed because of hardware shortages. And of course, we had to talk about Pokémon. With older games getting re-released, some people are really happy, while others are left disappointed. We chat about why the reaction has been so mixed, and which older games we would love to see brought back next. Follow our socials!
