Here's the latest episode of Better Offline. I'm joined by Steve Burke of @gamersnexus.bsky.social to talk about how tariffs are throwing the PC gaming industry into disarray, and how the era of affordable computing is coming to an end.

I loved Companion; it’s smart, funny, and topical. It’s also a warning. Read this awesome article by BJ. She knows what she’s talking about.
I continue to welcome the AI-girlfriend revenge uprising.
