This is one of my all time favourite videos, essential viewing for system designers.
The amount of information in this video is incredible and most people have no idea how bad they are at using Excel.

Just wait until someone plots this on a cube via a 3rd axis - Critical Reception
I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:
hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o...
Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

This is one of those films I’m fascinated to see the reaction too between UK/US.
For US audiences, seems like a fun story for Bradley Cooper to do a movie about.
For UK audiences, we’re like WAIT THIS IS BASED ON JOHN BISHOP’S LIFE? youtu.be/TE5v3U79i6s?...

If you've never heard of Body Harvest, it's a 3D sandbox game from DMA Design (later Rockstar North) that released three years before GTA III. Really incredible stuff done with the hardware for the time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiZk...

#Battlefield6 - well, I did my best
I'm really enjoying this, it's like a throwback to BF3 and BF4. Feels like it's doubled down on the destruction but has paired back the mechanics to let it shine even more.

#Battlefield6 impressions so far
- Seeing stampedes run over me without revive
- Spending ages in menus looking for common settings
- No sign of the tracer dart
Otherwise, very promising
