Finally booked myself a little long weekend off work and I’ve managed to get a super heavy cold and sore throat just beforehand. 🤧 I do NOT want to spend it in bed.

Then it's got to die!! These fucking AI people act like they have a god given right to profit of their garbage businesses and toxic products, at the expense of everyone and everything else. They will drink the planet dry using this exact same logic

Mixture of financial precariousness and a fear of “dropping out” of the industry if I go five mins without working is the real culprit here. But it’s gotta stop at some point.

It turns out continuing to take on loads of work when you’re already burned out doesn’t make you better it just makes your work bad and your brain worse.

Just fyi

It's #bandcampfriday so why not have a listen to our demos.

It would be good preparation, because we have a major release due to drop in a couple of weeks... 😮 🤘

Dig this piece! One aside I think about a lot is how today's big budget games want to tell mature, nuanced stories, but still want killing to be the central thing you do in them. And as a result, so many of the those stories have to be ABOUT violence in some way. Lots circling the same ideas!

I enjoyed Ghost of Yotei a lot — as I have many recent PS5 exclusives — but I’m starting to get a little bored with the same themes repeating themselves.

Here’s a piece on grief, revenge, and PlayStation's struggle for new stories.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.
