Re-read Detective Comics 1000 and the best thing about this is that everyone in the Batfam is a massive poser. Everyone except Ace, he’s just happy to be there.

Had to turn off the budget announcement. The jeering in parliament is beyond childish and shows how stuck in our ways the UK is. “But it’s tradition to act like a pantomime audience!!!” Isn’t a good look.

The thing that weirds me out with people who insist on using Gen AI for everything is how proud they are of it.
Congrats on telling me you don’t care about the creative process or data accuracy. In fact you’re telling me to actively dismiss everything you say and do.

I’ve seen a few mid to lead level narrative roles starting to open up for various places in the UK which is great to see.
Also, it hopefully means that studio heads and execs have realised you kinda need human designers to craft interactive stories that resonate with your human players.

Doing a board game design course in the evenings and someone on the call tonight mentioned their “lifetime project” 😬
If it’s taking that long it maybe isn’t working and you need to step away from it. At least for a little bit.

The major thing Valve need to fix in SteamOS is the store experience. It is borderline unusable on the Steam Deck and I've always found it odd that it doesn't seem to be a priority for them.

Re: the Metroid discourse. From my POV someone got very scared at play testing results and requested they crank up the hint dialogue.
Hopefully it is a setting players can adjust but man I feel bad for Retro. First Prime game in almost a decade and all people are talking about is people talking.

The Steam Frame looks like a much better alternative to the Meta Quest.
The Steam Machine is a must buy for me as a primarily TV gamer with a large Steam Library.
The new Steam Controller looks like it was designed by Homer Simpson.
Time to start saving some £££ to afford these new toys 😅
