The game incentivized me to support freeing a visiting dignitary's slave - not because slavery is horrible but because the populous would make too much wealth from trading with the guy

I had a similar takeaway. My father asked me as I took these classes off the knowledge would help me advise him on 'beating the stock market'. I told him I was now fully qualified to tell him it wasn't possible. Stocks are worth whatever rich people say they are. Rich people's algorithms now.

Enya sold millions and millions of albums and now lives in a castle where no one bothers her. She's never to my knowledge had any whiff of a scandal. She's hasn't put out an album in a decade, but easily could if she wanted to. She has won at life

If nothing else, come so you can go through the whole movie thinking, ok, it's a Filipino story, so who is Lea Salonga playing? Answer: she's the demon vampire monster
Manang, a winged demon creature from Forgotten Island with bird like claws and fangs

Just saw Dreamworks' "Forgotten Island" - animation was absolutely amazing. Story was solid but could have used a few moments to breathe here and there and maybe one less wacky sidekick. But overall a much stronger and far more interesting offering than the too-cautious stuff Disney has been doing.

Asked a hardware store employee for help picking a drill, as my tool knowledge sucks. She started asking the company GenAI program for recommendations that were laughably bad - first jumping to the most expensive model then to a different tool altogether. Would have preferred a simple i don't know

So they go out, and play like a team where half the players have no experience, and they lose. But they don't complain, or backbite, and I'm going to miss it when the season ends

About to go watch my daughter's soccer team lose again, and I couldn't be prouder. We live in an exceedingly small school district and the fact that they are even fielding a team is a minor miracle. She and her friends had to convince girls who hadn't played in their lives to step up and they did

Only been doing this 10 years but I still have the current prototype of my first game idea. I think its in pretty good shape now, but i pitched it too wide, too early and not sure what to do with it now (and won't let it go)
