Description
As is fast becoming a thing on RPS this week, Alice Bee and James are both away this week, so I'm (Katharine) filling in writing this post and doing my best Alice impression in the process. In this week's episode, The Electronic Wireless Show podcast talks all things mods - specifically, the ones that got real big and broke out from their respective source games. It's a chat that's been prompted by the developers behind Slay The Spire mod Downfall announcing their own brand-new game, Tales & Tactics.
There's also a lot of undead fish chat, and Alice's plans for entertaining herself on an upcoming long-haul flight. And in James' hardware corner, the gang chat about Nvidia's comments on AI and crypto, as well as Ubisoft's AI writing software tool thinger.

We record on a Tuesday so some news might have changed by the time you hear it.
Table 9 Studio announced Tales & Tactics, an auto-battling, fantasy roguelike.
The Sims 4 finally got bunk beds in 2021, after modders showed EA how it was done.
Deep Rock Galactic received official mod support in 2021 as well. Big props to Googly Glyphids maker HandDrawnNerd.
Paradox announced their new rival to The Sims, Life By You - and we interviewed head honcho Rod Humble about it at GDC.
Nvidia's chief technology officer tells The Guardian that crypto does not "bring anything useful for society".
Ubisoft unveil their AI dialogue-writing tool, Ghostwriter.
What are we playing this week?
James has been enjoying the Resident Evil 4 remake while also playing through Hi-Fi Rush for RPS Game Club. Nate, meanwhile, has been playing RimWorld with mods that make it a 40K / squirrel apocalypse, and Alice Bee has been playing the mildly awful Crime Boss: Rockay City for review.
Recommendations this week are John Wick Chapter 4, Sheila Armstrong's short story collection How To Gut A Fish, and YouTube mashup king DJ Cummerbund.
