Steam Deck LCD Is Gone, the FPS Shift, and Doing Things for Yourself

Season 2 of the Dual Comm podcast has arrived.

We discuss the Steam Deck LCD going away, likely due to RAM shortages. We talk about giving gaming less of yourself to enjoy the hobby more, and then dig into the self-help trend flooding YouTube around hobbies. We also talk about a PC Gamer article noting that the focus of major FPS releases is shifting away from competitive play and toward more relaxed co-op experiences. We wrap by talking about dopamine sensitivity, doing things for yourself, and creating.

Thanks for watching.
