Here's a nice way to think of it - every time you claim a free game, or free content, from Epic/Amazon/Microsoft/Sony the developer (probably) gets paid. Maybe not much, but it's better than nothing.

Then you can use AI to create your art and music, write the dialogue, and program the whole thing too. Nobody will be able to tell at all. Instead of AAA, it'll be an AIAIAI game.

I wish they sat Pedro Pascal and Keegan-Michael Key next to each other, because they were individually having the best time

I kind of hope they suffer worse than everyone else, at least in part by knowing they did it to themselves. I'm a big fan of consequences in general, but it's unfortunate that everyone else also has to deal with them.

My kid hates cheese and refuses to eat it in just about every scenario (the exception is pizza). It's a gigantic pain, especially when paired with the other things he refuses to eat (potatoes, sauces, ...)

It's a shame that the winning mode of basically any advertising-driven media appears to be as outrageous/toxic as possible, without crossing whatever line advertisers happen to care about. I've been mercilessly trimming my media feeds since... say... November. I'm feeling happier in general.

To be fair, broadcasting those videos and sufficiently high metacritic scores is pretty much all the industry wants from its "journalism"

You assign interns to help CM when you really really hate the interns :D

There's a Knight Rider table in Pinball FX that we've been playing at home a lot. The audio on the table is amazing - the theme, sound effects, and voice clips really bring it to life.
