  I saw the title of this, and as a dunkey subscriber, I was hoping this was the first time that I'd seen dunkey on HN. What a wild cross-over day!

  Dunkey makes visual essays only when he comes up with a good one. He doesn't force one out every week. The rest of the time he goofs around or makes a half-hearted review. But even during his goofing around he'll make a good point or slyly highlight out some shady practice. Take for example his review of the recent Ratchet and Clank on the PS5. He shows off these beautiful vistas while reading Sony's claims that this could only be made on the PS5 because of such-and-such technology. Then he pulls the rug and says all those beautiful vistas were actually from the previous Ratchet and Clank game on the PS4. It's not an explicit take-down of Sony, nor does it need to be, but it helps reenforce the idea that marketing claims should always be treated skeptically.
