Aggressively Casual is back, and Episode 10 is basically a group chat with structure — minus the “sponsored by ____” nonsense. Press X to Skip exists for people tired of corporate, ad-heavy takes and algorithm-bait coverage, so yeah… we’re going to say the quiet part out loud.

This week we get into:

Dune: Awakening – Chapter 3 and why it faceplanted (and what it needs to fix)

Bungie delaying a major Destiny 2 update while Marathon looms over everything like a storm cloud

Can a game be too big to fail? (and what “fail” even means now)

Hyperbole in games coverage: why everything being “dead,” “cooked,” or “saved” is making everyone dumber

Plus extra chaos, side quests, and the occasional responsible take

Drop a comment:
What’s your personal “too big to fail” game? And do you think Bungie’s playing 4D chess… or just juggling knives?

Episode 4 is live, and we’re back to being Aggressively Casual about… pretty much everything.

This week we dig into:

Where Winds Meet – gorgeous Wuxia chaos, mobile-game energy, and monetization that feels a little too ready for your wallet.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – the “biggest Black Ops ever” that somehow still manages to feel like a content treadmill with AI glue holding it together.

Destiny Renegades – our hopes, fears, and “please don’t whiff this, Bungie” energy as Destiny leans into its Star Wars-adjacent era.

Plus: side quests into industry burnout, live-service fatigue, and whatever else derailed our outline this time.

Aggressively Casual is our low-stakes, high-rant hangout show: no sponsor-speak, no fake hype, just real people yelling about games, movies, and pop culture like it’s the group chat, but with better audio.

If you’ve ever yelled at patch notes, side-eyed a battle pass, or fallen in love with a game you also kind of hate, you’re in the right place.

Topics in this episode:

Where Winds Meet impressions & “is this secretly a mobile game?” discourse
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 campaign/multiplayer/Zombies hot takes
Destiny 2: Renegades hopes, fears, and wishlist
Random nonsense, bad jokes, and actual good points (occasionally)

This week on Aggressively Casual, FreeBird and Cheeks are asking the big, stupidly obvious questions:

What the hell are Activision and Treyarch actually doing with Call of Duty?
Is ARC Raiders’ big “AI-powered” pitch actually exciting… or just another buzzword soup poured over a looter shooter?
And how did FreeBird manage to completely sabotage their own base in Dune: Awakening in record time?

We dig into CoD’s ongoing identity crisis, the live-service brain rot creeping into every corner of the industry, and whether AI in games is going to make things better, lazier, or just weirder. Then we break down one very cursed Dune: Awakening base mishap and what it says about the system FUNCOM used for the game.

Aggressively Casual is the laid-back chaos zone of Press X To Skip — part gaming podcast, part couch rant, zero corporate PR spin. If you’ve ever rage-uninstalled a game and reinstalled it 24 hours later, you’re in the right place.

Hit follow, tell us your Call of Duty takes, ARC Raiders fears, or Dune base disasters, and let us know what we should yell about next.
