News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Spyro was a greater influence on me as a kid than anything else, including the multiple repeated blows to the head. Perhaps due to either of those things, I have long struggled to know what to say about it - but now I believe I Have Finally Found The Words For Spyro.

Game Pass is not even close to that level of mass adoption yet

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...

To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.
