Trying Starfield again since it came out, its opening gives Doom 3 with-the-gamma-turned-up-way-too-high vibes.

007 Last Light seems to have suffered studio interference with the writing. It started strong, then… let’s just say there was a poetic, satisfying reason they could have used for Bond’s digit’s, instead it was ‘he arrived late’.

Got a new story up - with hand drawn artwork by me! Rubber Duck Coding: It's Dea's first day at a new coding gig and he screws up. Badly. Armed only with a rubber duck, he needs to work out how to stop billions of people from being affected by a global bug he created.

Rubber Duck Coding

‘I think I accidentally deployed code to production.’ Dea said to the rubber duck. ‘This could be bad.’ The rubber duck sat inanimate. ‘I should tell someone.’ The rubber duck agreed.

Given these tech businesses can’t meaningfully grow their user bases anymore (saturation), and the ad revenues just aren’t there like they used to be (market wisdom), it’s got me wondering: are AI products just well-marketed vapour-ware to get investor money?

Re-watching Lower Decks got me inspired to try DS9 - never seen it, and I know nothing about it -
