iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I recently test drove polestar. It’s not a bad EV, but way overpriced for what it is. It was not as comfortable to drive as a Lucid, so if you’re going to spend that much on a car, just step up to a Lucid Air Pure. And the SUV wasn’t impressive for the price, I will wait for the Rivian R2.

When in hairy or complex driving situations, I imagine most drivers turn FSD off or the system automatically hands controls to the driver, so of course there’s going to be fewer incidents per mile because it’s not on in tricky situations.

One can only hope they’ll make a “spinoff” video game from the show if it’s successful, haha! They always stop making sequels to all my favorite games, or they just lose sight of what made the game good.

Didn’t read the article but watched ~10min of the opening gameplay and was completely uninterested. Seems like a compliance story mode just to capture people that prefer single player (such as myself). Not having single player was a criticism of 2042, so it’s disappointing that it’s so mediocre.

Congrats! Been listening to you since your OXM days. You have become an iconic voice in gaming media and it wouldn’t be the same without you. You are one of the few people I listen to, not just because of the news you cover and shared opinions but because of the humble and kind culture you create.

Time to vote with the wallet. Help remind them that $20/month from their customers is better than $0/month.

I remember a time where there were playable game demos for just about every game. That was one marketing trick that really worked on me. Where’s the petition to bring that back?

I don’t usually encourage food therapy, but today, I’m going to allow myself to have a “doomsday” meal. That may sound dark, but it’s important to keep a sense of humor in dark times, even if it’s dark humor. What would you eat if you knew you had 1 last worry-free meal? Take time to cherish it.

No matter how busy or dark your days may be, carve out at least 5-10min each day for some self-care. Currently, I use my tea time at breakfast and dinner as an opportunity for some mindfulness meditation. What’s your favorite #self-care activity?

My daughter loves this book and asks me to read it to her twice! She recently started finishing each sentence as I read it to her.

Parenting pro-tip: learn how to become aware of and cope with your own emotions and instead of dumping your emotions on your child, model how to cope with them effectively and productively.

Anger is a secondary emotion. While it’s a valid emotion there is always a primary emotion hiding behind it. Learning how to cope with your primary emotions will help prevent you from becoming angry. While coping skills for anger are good, they are not addressing the source of the issue. #emotions

You ever get frustrated when your toddler asks you to read her 5-page book for the 50th time? Yeah, that’s your issue & not your child’s responsibility to manage for you. Don’t dump your emotions on your kid. To her she’s just so excited to have your attention. Cherish that 51st reading. #parenting

If you don’t want your child to yell. Try modeling that for them. It’s meta communication to demand that expectation of your child while yelling it at them. #parenting

You shouldn’t set expectations on your child that you yourself do not meet. #parenting

As a parent, there’s no such thing as a bad day for your child. Only teachable moments and learning opportunities. #parenting

Data driven businesses use KPIs & metrics to make decisions. KPIs drive behavior and behavior drives metrics. If you have bad metrics, it’s likely that you have bad KPIs. Stop blaming the employee and start understanding the behavior behind the metrics.

When validating the feelings of another, it’s best to do it from your perspective and not by assigning emotions. Example, instead of saying: “You sound frustrated.” Try saying: “If I were in your shoes, I’d feel frustrated.”

The quickest way to de-escalate someone is not to tell them how they should feel (“calm down”) but instead to acknowledge & validate how they are actually feeling in that moment.

Parents are often so quick to try to make their kid happy when they are feeling sad. Often this teaches them to run from their emotions and that some emotions are not okay to have. Instead let’s help them learn how to process all their feelings and find productive coping skills for them.

The one constant in our lives is change. Learning how to quickly adapt to change via healthy coping skills is a very useful life skill to acquire.

Why do airlines tell you to put your oxygen mask on 1st before helping others? Bc if you’re passed out, how can you help those you care about? Not so obvious lesson: no one is coming to put your mask on for you. You need to prioritize your self care to have the capacity to care for those you love.

The quote: “If video games taught me anything, it’s that if you encounter enemies then you’re going the right way.” Has new meaning for me.
