On this episode of Matt’s Digital Odyssey, we’re powering up the obscure, the forgotten, and the downright bizarre consoles that slipped through the cracks of gaming history.

Everyone knows the PlayStation and the NES—but what about the Neo Geo, the TurboGrafx-16, or the Atari Jaguar? These weren’t just footnotes—they were full-blown console launches with big ambitions… and even bigger uphill battles.

I’ll walk through the consoles that tried to break through the noise, the ones that were ahead of their time (or way behind), and why some of them deserved a better shot than they got. Expect a little nostalgia, a little sarcasm, and a few “Wait, that was real?” moments along the way.

Have a console you swear by that no one else remembers? Let’s talk about it—this one’s for the collectors, the historians, and the folks who bought a 3DO when it was still full price.

In this solo ride of Matt’s Digital Odyssey, I take a detour from my usual content and dive into the growing world of AI-powered content creation tools—because let’s face it, not everyone wants to spend 12 hours editing vertical video.

I break down the ones I’ve tried, the ones I actually use, and the ones I’ll probably never touch again unless Skynet forces me to. Whether you're a fellow timeline-scrubbing video editor or just someone who wants to turn scripts into scroll-stopping content, this episode covers it all.

🛠️ Covered in this episode:

• Why Descript didn’t blow my mind (and what I prefer instead)
• The surprising power of InVideo AI for quick content generation
• How Synthesia and HeyGen could make you question reality… or at least your webcam
• My favorite AI voice tool (hint: it’s scary good)
• Why Adobe Express and Firefly are now in my regular rotation for thumbnails and social posts
• The TL;DR of my current AI content stack and what’s worth adding to yours

💬 Quick shoutouts to tools mentioned:

• Adobe Premiere Pro / Adobe Podcast / Adobe Express
• CapCut, Descript, InVideo AI, Synthesia, HeyGen
• Eleven Labs, Firefly, Canva, VistaCreate

🎧 Whether you're a seasoned creator or just starting out, these tools can help you do more with less. But remember—AI can’t make you creative, it just gives you the time to flex it.

🕹️ Oh, and Backlog Roulette is still on the way. Promise I didn’t forget.

In this episode of Matt’s Digital Odyssey, Matt pulls back the curtain on the AI-powered tools that are actually worth your time—especially if you’re juggling podcasts, gameplay clips, reels, and branded content.

Coming from an old-school editing background using Adobe Premiere Pro, Matt explores whether the new wave of AI editors like Descript, InVideo AI, Synthesia, Runway ML, and HeyGen live up to the hype. Spoiler: some do, some don’t.

He also gets into how Adobe Firefly, Adobe Express, CapCut, and even Canva are using AI in smart ways, and how tools like Repurpose.io and ElevenLabs can help you work smarter—not harder—without sacrificing your creative control.

Whether you're deep into content creation or just looking for ways to speed things up, this episode is your cheat sheet to blending classic editing techniques with modern AI workflow boosters.
