Got to see Swell Rell tonight. Always has intensity in his raps. I'm pretty stoked to finally have him on a show in a few weeks!

I love that the tour DJ of this hip hop show is playing Nirvana and AC/DC in-between the acts. And nobody gives a fuck.

"I haven't seen AI create anything fun. It can replicate, for sure, but I haven't seen anything fun come from AI yet," said a senior-level attendee at the GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit. "You can make crap quicker," quipped another. bit.ly/4yrkVQq

And there it is. Big Tech wants AI to be seen on the same level as humans, but still not pay them for their whatever productivity they generate. AI is just a new way to have slave ownership.

No minireviews on my FFVI album yet. I've heard from a few people directly how much they've enjoyed it & it means so much to me. I was listening for >year before it dropped. I do REALLY make the music for me. But it's Bandcamp Friday so give it a whirl mustinenterprises.bandcamp.com/album/world-...

I got the bad ending for Order of Ecclesia last night, BUT there was a really awesome Fist of the North Star reference in there. Enjoying that game without a shred of regret!

I had a longtime concern that NetEase would shut down Grasshopper, especially since those games aren't meant for mass consumption. However, fears averted! And finally some GOOD game industry news.

This breaks my heart. Back in college, a bunch of us used to code at Tamir's apartment and work on projects. I believe it's how I found out about the US version of Takeshi's Castle. We even named one of the game characters we had in our class project after his "Aquatic Jew" moniker. RIP Tamir.

But what does this mean for HOKUTO SHINKEN?! But seriously, quite the read. This could lead to treatments to diseases like ALS. Worth noting that the current administration is cutting funding for grants that go toward this kind of research.
