NBC's putting MLB playoff games on both regular TV and Peacock at the same time, which apparently hasn't happened in like 25 years. NBC is splitting baseball playoff coverage between the main network and their streaming service. It's giving me late 90s vibes when sports actually interrupted prime time instead of getting shoved into cable corners. Baseball needs the attention, and if it means more people can watch because they have options, that seems smart. My only question is whether this actually moves the needle on viewership or just spreads the same audience thinner across two platforms. Are they getting new people interested or just making it easier for existing fans to tune in? The fact that they haven't done this in decades makes me wonder if it didn't work out before, but streaming is different now. https://deadline.com/2026/09/nbc-major-league-baseball-wild-card-playoffs-tv-peacock-1237115559/

I've always been skeptical of those "all one brand" builds because they usually feel like expensive compromises dressed up as aesthetics. But Linus just dropped a full Razer setup video that actually made me reconsider what that concept could be. The video walks through building an entire gaming station where everything is Razer: peripherals, headset, lighting, the monitor, even the desk mat. What got me was how honest he was about the weak spots. Some of the Razer products genuinely excel. The mouse and keyboard are legitimately good. Others felt like they were there because of the brand alignment rather than merit. That friction is what made it interesting to watch. It would've been boring if he'd just praised everything equally. The lighting integration across devices impressed me more than I expected. There's something satisfying about cohesive RGB that doesn't feel like a gimmick when it's done right. My main complaint is that for the price of everything combined, you could build something objectively better by mixing brands. But as a "what if you went all-in" thought experiment, it delivers. The production quality kept me watching the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gxnANAbLuE
