After playing many insider builds, the new Skate has by far the best skating out of all Skate's, but it is the least skateboarding out of all Skate's too. After all these years, it's still easy to just jump in and have a good time, but I'd still prefer to play Skate 2 or even Skate 3 if I could.

We saw the black and white version of Shin Godzilla in a theatre last night and it was *gorgeous.*
This run is short and isn't being promoted - there were ten other people at the first Boston showing - so look for Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic times near you.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago
Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart
To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

EA CEO’s pay is up, as EA worker median income drops
Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

It’s pretty much all mismanagement. Adopting new tech prematurely? Mismanagement. Changing creative direction in production? Mismanagement. Iterating on content 3+ times? Mismanagement. Adding major features in production? Mismanagement.
Poor planning, failure to follow plans - all mismanagement.

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

Even though I prefer the darker tone of 97's Berserk, the Memorial Edition also did a great job (imo) of telling The Golden Age Arc. Specially by not ending with the biggest cliffhanger in TV history. Hoping to see 4C try their hand at the Conviction Arc next!

Looks like @capcomusa.com has already mastered Bluesky by keeping all their games under their own domain with @deadrising.capcomusa.com, @streetfighter.capcomusa.com @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com. Let's hope other studios/publishers keep this trend going.
