Me too, she’s the best! 💖

I regret to inform you I have recreated my selfie-taking valley girl OC from Monster Hunter, Sunny, in Code Vein, and no amount of soulslike melancholy is going to stop her slut-dropping in front of her defeated enemies.

It’s kinda overwhelming how many new meta-systems there are now, though. It’s like every little corner of the game has been reworked. It feels less cohesive, like a bunch of different things stapled together.

Jumped into Overwatch for the first time in years. So many new heroes I never knew about! Freja is fun.

I predict that at some point, the Keighleys will move beyond Keighley. He’ll become more of a background figure, rather than the face of it. There’s only so much bad PR the man can take.

Let the absolute glorious sunshine of The Return motivate you to get through it. It’s waiting right there on the other end!

Armored cores, on the other hand…

ON THE BIRTH OF A SON: Families when a child is born / Hope it will turn out intelligent, / I, through intelligence / Having wrecked my whole life; / Only hope that the baby will prove / Ignorant and stupid, / Then he’ll be happy all his days / And grow into a cabinet minister.

Found this great poem on Reddit…

Pragmata demo is good!

The Partner Showcase felt like it was just companies porting existing titles to bolster their passive income, rather than an exciting slate of announcements for players.

Rivals has really captured the feeling of early OW.

I haven’t checked the stream out yet, just going off of what I’m seeing on my feed - here’s hoping because they had some MAGIC going a decade ago! 🤞

I seem to remember Schreier’s book indicating that Kaplan ended up leaving because he was increasingly unhappy with the direction MS-ABK were taking him down.

You’re trying to convince me that the Microsoft-owned, Jeff-Kaplan-absent Overwatch is “back”?

Went for a run for the first time in years. Might legitimately die.

NEW: A NetEase spokesperson has told me that reports indicating it shuttered a genAI research division and is now moving away from the tech are "false."

"The situation described did not occur, and we have not published any related policies."

Surreal seeing the crowd reaction to the Royal Rumble winner after what happened a decade ago. Time heals all wounds!

Yeah, though as with first-time Souls experiences, it might take a while before the game clicks for you and you understand how it wants you to play (constantly boost towards enemies with L3 and close distance ASAP).

Bougie sticky toffee pudding decorated with a physalis.

Almost forgot to share this bougie sticky toffee pudding. It was every bit as good as it looks.

People > Process.

The producer should be ensuring the framework in use is adapted for the team in question to get the best out of them. Identifying when meetings aren’t working is vital to ensure people’s time isn’t wasted. Everything must justify its value.

People often have this misconception that meetings like stand-ups are primarily for the producer’s benefit, too, when they should be a vehicle for the whole team to get synced up.

It’s quite eye-opening, working as a producer. You get to see human nature play out without intervention, and develop a knack for foreseeing all the things people tend to do wrong when they’re not guided. You would be AMAZED how bad people are at working together without learned experience/guidance.

This is true at professional studios because lots of people are just there to clock in, clear some tasks, and clock out. It’s equally true in hobbyist teams because people can lean on the fact it’s just a hobby project to not take quality communication seriously.

Throwing another piece of lived experience into the current production discourse: you would be SHOCKED how little people talk to each other. Like, even in small teams. It beggars belief how poor communication is between people working on a shared project without someone there to encourage it.

(Which is actually sort of true when you consider that a quarter of us don’t have jobs).
