While in Alaska last month I saw an ad for a local soda and thought “wow, they must not care much about their own product.”

An AI generated ad for a soda made in Alaska. A can of “white burch beer” sits on a stump. Weirdly symmetrical birch trees in the background reveal the image was AI generated

A close up of the can. The finer print is garbled genAI noise. The bottom says “Naturally Plncesnd, colou3s and cwbetea5d”

Ever get those LinkedIn e-mails that try to get you to pay for their premium membership by teasing what businesses have looked at your profile? I usually ignore them but suddenly I'm considering a backup plan if/when this whole game dev thing falls apart 🤔

I think, as an industry, we're past due describing our times as "precedented." I wish nothing but the best to my fellow Bungie alumni that are affected today. What an awful, unfortunate, and ill-advised waste of a gathering of such incredible talent.

It just occurred to me that "We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we enjoyed making it" could be well meaning or a cold blooded curse in the right circumstances.

My beginner-level Korean is making me crack up at the new Modern Warfare logo. 사 is the hangeul for 4, yeah, but it's also a very casual way to direct someone to buy something. And "Modern Warfare: Buy It" is just so on the nose.

In Marathon last night, got into a team fight where a player on the other team used prox chat with an impressive Trump impression to demand an end to hostilities, a ceasefire, etc. He never actually stopped shooting at us, mind, just demanded a ceasefire. 10/10, no notes. (We won the fight, btw)

Was rewatching the Marathon runner shell trailers and realized that Recon is dead or dies in each of them. Recon's own trailer hasn't come out, yet. I wonder if she'll survive it. 🤔

Something you get used to seeing when you live in LA is seeing places get used for films. Anyway, looks like the FlyAway bus terminal in Van Nuys might cameo as the entrance to Central City Airport in something DC related?

Safe to assume that the Venn diagram of people who are eating the propaganda up and the people who say games "shouldn't be political" is a single perfect circle.

We ended up canceling our campsite reservation due to a strict “no fire” policy that included propane stoves, and found a nearby cabin. We still made samgyeopsal. We’re gonna be ok.

Saw this at a (pretty fantastic) Mexican restaurant in a small town here in Cali. The more I look at it, the more confused I get.

A framed image. A pale white Marilyn Monroe dressed as the Statue of Liberty, with a sacred heart wrapped in thorns tattooed to her chest, holding a shotgun with a smoking barrel. Behind her appears to be Victoria Bay in Hong Kong, at night. In the sky is yet another image of Marilyn. In the lower right corner, Marylin’s autograph.

When they shut down the Star Wars FPS, we got to see this game up close and talk to their dev team, because they could take on some of our folks. What they were building was ambitious and special and I was legitimately excited to play it someday, even if they'd only done 1/4 of what they planned.
