I don't often browse Forbes, but it must be said that it's extremely funny that they have an 'Innovation' header on the front-page, and that right now there's two stories about Epstein under it

Considering they've released like 3 SaGa games since then, they must have cancelled, what, 15 others?

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) is better than the McLaughlin Group.

Say what ye may about the right wing, but the Left has not yet produced its own Ted Nugent, and that is a deep ideological lack.

Good news everybody: the person who's a liability at your work is going to be even more of a liability tomorrow. :)

Guy on the subway carrying 1L unopened carton of milk in one hand the whole ride... He had a bag but I guess you gotta let people know how it is sometimes

Kyoto is the city of manners. They provide ample seating at train stations (very polite!) but then do fun things like place big fuckoff metal ad signs right behind them at head height so if you lean back in your seat like the coarse gaijin you are you'll donk your head.

Either I just overheard the words 'plasma autarchy' or I'm sleepy. Fifty-fifty. Ok, maybe fifty-sixty

I can't stand most of it either, even having had the training that should theoretically let me decode it all... It's a certain kind of technical skill, but a really transparently classist one. It's beautiful that the ear can tell.

All I'm saying is they don't give many Grammies to people who play raves, y'know?

You're supposed to respect it, not to actually enjoy the process of listening to it. He certainly seems to enjoy himself and he's a prodigenius so it must be our lack. We should respectfully listen and imagine how such a clever person might theoretically 'enjoy' music

More birds should be chickens. I've always felt this way

The page before this where I attempted to draw toilets in realistic perspective from memory - less of a success.

Was honestly unsure about getting the Hobonichi Techou because I can't draw and scarcely ruminate but you know what? I'm getting some creatures in there for sure

Recent coverage suggests that despite appearances AI slop games are *not* actually flooding marketplaces, ie you still have to 'dev the rest of the fucking game' as it were. I expect this will be just as effective a tool for tip-to-tail casual game dev as the rest. See: bsky.app/profile/enik...

Always, always read the article and check the context of the quote, and ideally actually read it. If it's in an investors' meeting you can 90% of times disregard it completely and the other 10% assume it was spoken in Shadow Language

Want to point out that this is not actually about shipping or even creating games, but strictly about trying to hook in new customers with hype. Existing professional Unity devs are a largely captive audience at this point, but still dwindling - so they claim to 'democratize development' for nondevs

If going commando makes you Arnie, does going half-commando make you Danny Devito?
