Daniel J. Menezes @danjohnston.uk · 14/09/2026What's happening with the AI bosses really is not that they're scared AI is advancing too quickly (it's still glorified copy-paste) but that they're running out of money, running up against opposition, and they're stalling so their investors don't have them whacked. 3369

Daniel J. Menezes @danjohnston.uk · 02/09/2026These kinds of headlines always make it sound like there's incredibly fierce competition in the games industry - which obviously there kind of is - but it will absolutely be the case that the vast majority of these games perform poorly because they are just low effort slop of one kind or another. 2275

Daniel J. Menezes @danjohnston.uk · 29/08/2026Pokémon peeve: in newer games a lot of decision-making around which Pokémon get which abilities, moves & types seems to be based on balancing competitions rather than biology/lore. Example: every fan favourite starter Pokémon getting Protean. It only ever made sense on Kecleon. 120
