US is really in a dire need of hosting Nuremberg Trials 2.0 after all of this madness is over. I hope they'll have enough budget to fund building new prisons and asylums to house certain members of current government & its subsidiaries

After nibbling on it for well over a year - Canvas - a CS2 map for Wingman is now out ⚒️
With that I'm pleased I can finally put this god forsaken game to rest once and for all

Plight of CS2 workshop: only 1.12% of people who played this map have actually bothered to leave a rating. Because of the rules, item cannot be eligible to receive a 5 star rating unless it has 200+ votes, so despite having this map played at least 3500 times, this one is still stuck at 3-4 stars 🤕

In this age of AI brain rot I just wanna make something cool with a small team of friends. I wanna drown out that bullshit by constantly reminding myself how creative my pals are. I gotta make that happen again.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)
