🤖 Is your teen talking to AI characters? Do you know 'who' these characters are? I was unsurprised to learn that 37% of parents whose teens use conversational AI...had no idea. I suspect that number is higher when it comes to platforms like Character.ai bigkidlab.substack.com/p/sorry-hone...

I got asked why I included Mario Tennis on Game Boy Colour in my list of favourite games so dedicated this recent newsletter to answering the question: ‘Does the game still hold up?’ (Answer: sort of). Dissecting a game like this provides interesting lessons for a #gamedev like me #nintendo

I look critically at my favourite childhood game over 20 years on...
