Optimus Prime is my favorite hero and Nintendo is my comfort home. I have served the US Marine Corps for 4 years and will never side with Nazis and tyranny. Because as Optimus said, freedom and autonomy is the right of all sentient beings.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

The process is the fun part. Throwing shit at the wall with your colleagues is where the growth happens. The journey of distilling many ideas and iterations into something tightly focused and beautiful is what I enjoy. The frustrations are part of the growth.
AI strips you of that.
