Fun news to talk about today. I always like hearing that cold open and it's like, okay, no front facing layoffs. I don't know how deep into the show they might come. There's always the risk. There's always breaking news.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (0:43)
You know, I don't want to go dark at all. Yeah. I mean, yeah, there's always breaking.

**Tim Gettys** (0:48)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:49)
Let's just hope for the best.

**Tim Gettys** (0:50)
Let's keep it positive. I'm used to Nintendo giving up.
Oh, man.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:53)
They're like, shut it down.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (0:54)
Like, dude, if like for some reason, like Nintendo just toppled out of nowhere.

**Tim Gettys** (0:59)
This is Miyamoto. It's done.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:01)
This is Miyamoto.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:02)
I quit. And then you just see the dominoes of Nintendo just disappears. One day, I think I'll just stop playing video games overall.

**Tim Gettys** (1:09)
That might be the end.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:10)
Yeah. I'll just take up a new hobby. I'll get really, I get a lot more into magic. And I'm already in a new hobby.

**Tim Gettys** (1:14)
Yeah. That could be a problem.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:16)
Tim, how are you doing?

**Tim Gettys** (1:16)
I'm doing okay. Yeah. I had a rough couple days, had a pretty vicious sore throat over the weekend.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:22)
Yeah.

**Tim Gettys** (1:22)
And the last couple days, I've just been dealing with the fallout of that. I was telling Bear that my throat was so ravaged.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:30)
Wow. Wow.

**Tim Gettys** (1:33)
That it really is just sore, okay? The last two days, and now it's like, it just is dealing with what it went through.
Yeah. We got to get to the truth.
But now the problem I'm dealing with right now is my whole like, equilibrium is off. Like, my ears are popped. Like, my whole ear, throat, nose situation is just like, not good. So I appreciate your patience.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:02)
I think I had whatever you had. I had, but like, way lighter.

**Tim Gettys** (2:05)
Yeah.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:05)
Yeah. Like, as I was going home on Friday, I felt a scratch in my throat, and the scratch persisted through like, Monday morning.

**Tim Gettys** (2:11)
Yeah.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:11)
But like, now I'm good, but it was never, I was always gearing up to wake up the next day and be like, Oh, I'm done.

**Tim Gettys** (2:16)
I haven't been this messed up in quite a while. Oh no. Yeah. And I was very concerned about little baby Sammy. I'm like, oh, this isn't going to be good, but she had her six month doctor appointment two days ago because she's six months old.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:28)
That's crazy.

**Tim Gettys** (2:28)
That thing is half a year old.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:30)
Yeah.

**Tim Gettys** (2:30)
I don't know how that happened, but she's looking great. Everything's good. And they checked her. They're like, no signs of cold or no signs of sickness or whatever, so I think we made it past that. But I'm happy to be back here. Happy to be talking about video games.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:42)
Happy to have you here talking about video games. Let's get into it so we can talk about video games. Of course, if you're watching live, you can be a part of the show by super chatting in over on youtube.com/kind of funny games. We couldn't do this without our producers on patreon.com/kind of funny.

Starting with our number one, Xbox Backward Compatibility launches on PC.
Four Xbox games are playable now. This is Dave Aubrey at Video Games Chronicle. Classic Xbox games are now playable on Windows PCs, thanks to Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC, which launches today in an early release state. I'm going to pause there. Is it backwards compatibility? If those games weren't, isn't that just porting?

**Tim Gettys** (3:40)
Yes.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (3:41)
Aren't we just porting old games?
