Step into Episode 7 of Gaming with Grown Folks, where host Jahdie breaks down the biggest gaming announcements from CES 2026 and celebrates the timeless joy of classic games that still resonate today.

This episode dives deep into the future of gaming tech - from Nvidia DLSS 4.5, MSI's Raider 16 Max HM, and Intel's Panther Lake chips, to the rise of OLED gaming monitors and AI powered development tools shaping the next generation of play.

Then we slow things down and revisit the games that continue to bring us joy:

  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • Donkey Knog Bananza
  • Astro Bot
  • Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (Switch 2)

We explore their gameplay, mechanics, graphics, character motivations, and stories - and why these titles still matter to grown-folk gamers today.

Featuring original music by Jeremiah Daniel, whose new EP "Broken Boys Ruin Everything" is now streaming everywhere.

If you're into gaming analysis, CES coverage, retro favorites, and thoughtful conversations about why games stay with us, this episode is for you.
