Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

They need to use this song in the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV series. It would be a lovely discordant needle drop during an action scene (also just a good song). www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXn...

Online enthusiast perception of certain games tends to not correlate strongly to sales potential or performance. It's just part of that huge gap where the 15-20% or so of the gaming audience that is the most engaged and invested is massively overrepresented in online conversation. Is what it is.

Earlier this year, we set up a special room in our office where people could sneak preview Big Walk with their friends. Almost 1,000 people came by. We wanted the experience to be special. In my last video, I showed you the room's intro. Now, here's the big finale. It was pure joy — like Big Walk.

My two daughters, wife, and I played Big Walk together tonight. We found the Kongs and the first key. It was fun and unique. Our house is small so we each had to go to separate rooms so we didn’t hear each other. 🤣

I needed a little extra time with Halo: Campaign Evolved, a game that's very hard to divorce from what it represents about Xbox and the modern games industry. It made me wistful for the heyday of the ambitious single-player shooter: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
