Feeling very sentimental today, thinking about our last family dog. Samy passed away several years ago, he was over 16 years old in the end. He was a German Shepherd mix. Healthiest & sturdiest dog I've ever met. He was hit by a car once. He was fine after (had him checked), but the car wasn't. 🤣
Samy <3 taken during a walk in winter, when he was still very young. An older Samy back in the day. My camera was shit and he was just about to move his head while sniffing, which is why he's a bit blurry xDA young and energetic Samy. He was lying down to recharge for 5 minutes after having played around for almost an hour. He had crazy energy as a young dog. Another pic when he was older. Sitting in front of the door on the balcony. That was one of his usual spots because during summer the tiles were cool.

I recently bought Ixion on Steam. I'm deep into city-building/strategy games lately (well, loved Anno since I was a kid & am also deep into playing Anno 117 these days). And Ixion I bought on a whim. I'm about 90 minutes in & so far I like it a lot! Check it out if you like these kinds of games 👀

Folding Obsidian into Bethesda really demonstrates how interchangeable we all are to the money people. Who cares about studio culture or identity, right? If I put tuna on a meatball sub I can eat two sandwiches at once.

Only 1k+ layoffs to go in a 'reset' that is lasting months interspersed with the Kojima deal and pieces highlighting the CEO taking on support tickets. I would say all this does not fill one with confidence of success. But that relies on knowing the real end goal and that still seems up in the air.

Most played games on Steam. However, it's not a proper reflection of the variety of games I play, since I mostly played on Xbox since 2002 (and some still do via the Xbox App on PC now) & PlayStation between 2013-2023.
Snapshot of my currently most played games on steam. Bongo Cot, Crusader Kings 3, Crimson Desert, Battlefield 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Trek Voyager Across the Unknown, Frostpunk 2, Arc Raiders, Digimon Story Time Stranger, The Expanse, Hidden Cats Tokyo, Greedfall: The Dying World (canceled my PT)

I was at the Berlin pride parade earlier today & it was incredible. And I just learned that at around 10pm someone drove a car into people there, causing at least one death & leaving several people severely injured. And this makes me so incredibly angry, yes, we do not know yet who the murderer 1/2

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...
Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!
