GO BUY @mikegaboury.com's GAME NOW store.steampowered.com/app/971220/R...

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

Update on my afternoon tea experience: I don't know how strong they made those brews but none of the 6 of us who went got any sleep last night πŸ˜…

We had a macha tea time at a local Asian inspired restaurant today and it was so good! The milky oolong was my favorite and the Lucky Cat cake tasted just like eating sugar cookie dough (10/10) Turns out there's lots of cool stuff to do if you leave the house every now and then

bro have you eaten yet today had something refreshing to drink taken care of your body with gentle kindness gotten a breath of fresh air looked at something beautiful thought something kind about yourself fallen a little bit in love with something

It's a fine line between "excitedly diving into a new project" and "unsustainably hyperfixating on a fast track to burnout"

Okay I finally watched Severance, after years of putting it off. Yes, it's very good. Yes, I'm excited for this new season. Yes, I get why the only way to pitch it to friends is "a show about some people who work in an office but something's weird".

How to spend today

Finally got around to playing Grounded with a good group and I've been having way too much fun. They got so much right - from the essence of an 80s/90s kid adventure movie especially! (Sorry it took so long @mikeydowling.bsky.social but it's a rad game)

Waking up and getting caught up on the news coming in from LA. I hope everyone is able to evacuate themselves and their pets safely and quickly. Fingers crossed weather conditions play ball and make firefighting easier. That's really scary shit.

Back to work today. Who are these people, what are these meetings, what even am I doing? Tune in next time for answers to these burning questions and more

Damn, Silo is a really good show, huh? I'm playing myself though, burning through episodes and then I'll have to wait for Season 3

That weird part of the holidays where everyone is just waiting for the next big meal and no one knows how to entertain themselves

We did Christmas today πŸ˜πŸŽ„πŸŽ The first thing Robin did was label the cat, and I immediately forced them both to let me take pictures of them πŸ˜…

Adding a mildly warm take here to say that unless the game is misleading or severely broken, leave positive reviews. You can recommend a game while still including constructive criticism or good to know info for other players.

I get accused of being AI a lot when it comes to player facing comms, but a lot of that boils down to being an AP student in hs, having a research heavy degree, and working in Corporate America with Enterprise clients for almost a decade before coming to games. (Tl;dr I'm old and boring)

Bring back Geocities webrings and niche forums

I'm switching roles at the new year so that plus this being the last few days before Christmas means I have literally no motivation to do anything other than invest all my work hours into Infinity Nikki plshlp
