iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah exactly it. I kept defaulting to Chinese and couldn't help it.

I'm 2 years late, but finally cracked open Expedition 33. After Baldur's Gate 3 I didn't expect we would get another game that special, but two of the best games in the past 20 years coming out so close together is unbelievable. We are truly in a golden age of games.

I spent the last week in Nice and my brain kept cycling through languages -- Japanese, Mandarin -- but couldn't lock in on French and forgot how to speak with an accent. I don't know how real polyglots are able to do it, my brain could not.

He maintains ethical foundations, while at the same time allowing empathy for even his opposition. The complexity of the history of Palestine, as he explains, doesn't change what anyone can see within 20 minutes of a cursory glance -- that there is injustice. But he doesn't use it as a firebrand.
