Hey JC! Good to see you on the pier. I miss your sense of humor. I got you a t-shirt that says "case of the mondays". That one always got laughs. I left it in your locker, the code is 1269. I'm off to Hong Kong, but I'll grab you another souvenir.

This story is nuts. Pam Bondi just made up a reason for the missing minute with no basis in reality.

βRather than explain that the footage had been pieced together from a copy, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the reason for the gap was that the prison recording system had a nightly reset resulting in a lost minute every night.β

Somebody said something a while back that really stuck with me, I think it was Charlie moistcritical,
"some of you never got scammed in runescape"
And that really, really applies to all these NFT scams and stuff. Y'all needed to get burned at a young age with low stakes to learn.

There's no "have". Single player is one way to attract more players, its the model Mortal Kombat has settled into.
But you can also build a reputation, which is how Tekken and Street Fighter manage to live. That even applies to things like Skullgirls and Rivals of Aether, though in a different way.

She didn't though, that's the thing. Her tweet was very carefully crafted so it wasn't really fedposting.
That the RNC account immediately took the bait and put it in those terms is on them, in multiple ways.
She's not stupid. (they are)

Unfortunately the owners of capital in the world are more than happy for things to keep going this way. The game industry has always appreciated being able to grind up and dispose developers.
Game development can't fix capitalism.

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

Especially considering that apparently they didn't even really buy their ad on the game awards, but just Geoff picked them to fill a slot or whatever,
....they had absolutely no viable plan at all huh?
It sounds like they just ran the company into the ground taking too long to ship?

I keep saying that instead of genAI we could just hire teenagers but there was a reason we don't.
If you're okay with that ugly genAI fight, we could just have two teenagers throw punches and then deepfake Tom Cruise on it, same result! But quality kinda matters and most people would hate that.

I feel like genAI is revealing that some fraction of the population would be totally fine with just flashing lights and jingling keys instead of high quality movies, and the only reason they think good films are good is because other people say so

Its still a pretty grim world, but we've got some real heroes to root for.
Also the story having smaller stakes and more tight focus, versus Game of Thrones spiraling subplots. Its just the one A story most of the time. That's actually refreshing.

Its funny & ironic how part of what made Game of Thrones feel so fresh and subversive was how there were no "good guys", all the morality was complicated, playing off each other.
And now the thing that makes Knight of the Seven work so well is how earnest it is. Dunk & Egg are absolute "good guys".
