AVoCADo GamesCast #119: Invisible Tom Hanks

Hey folks! We’re back with another GamesCast episode. In this one, Bloomed Wings and I spent over an hour roasting DLSS 5 — well, not just roasting. We also got into a discussion about realism in art, algorithmic bias, and the tech industry’s participation in the military-industrial complex. And at some point in between, I got really confused about what a palette knife is. We hope you enjoy! And thanks as always to The Kappa for editing.
