Seattle-based game marketing goon at Pokémon. Formerly Capcom & Six Foot. I also love writing, photography, and world travel. All views and opinions are both my own and likely based on a Simpsons quote.

I'm not as anti-AI as some folks (at least in non-professional settings), but I have never been angrier than when a creative agency's ideation deck was chock-full of AI artwork. Not only did it mutilate the look of our characters, it also made me think that the ideas themselves were also generated.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Simpsons trivia is hilarious to me, because there's never a middle ground - it's either always:
"What is the name of the Simpsons' 10-year-old 'brat' son?"
or
"What has a direct correlation to the rise in gang activity?"

Probably one of the best little changes I made at work this year was switching from "👍" as my general acknowledgement emoji to "💪", which goes from seeing passive-aggressive to active-supportive. (And since doing so, I've seen some colleagues also making the switch.)

This is by far my favorite genre of spam/phishing email. I am just always tickled by the very concept of an email marketing system that - from the moment you sign up - actively encourages you to unsubscribe.

Looking at all the Game of the Year nominees - and all the games that didn't get nominated - the only thing I can think is, "Wow, this was a good year for game output! I wish the industry was in better shape."

On Halloween, my wife finally gave in to my months-long campaign to get her to watch Sinners, and she's been listening to the soundtrack since. I feel accomplished.

Currently 50 pounds down since I started actively losing weight this year. Still a bit to go before reaching pre-COVID level, but very close. Only question is if I'll be able to fit into my nice suit for our Christmas party this year.

Was Mr. Beast actually in the final cut of the Tron movie? I watched it over the weekend, dreading to see the moment that the screenshot is from, but I don't think it ever happened?

Just got all Achievements in Hades II, and between that, all the completed Character Bonds, Chaos Trials, and Testaments, I'd say I've 100%'d it.
Amazing game, probably my GOTY in what's been a very stacked year!
