Leaving solid gold out in the cold for nearly a decade, outstanding work.

My new years resolutions are going to be A) lose a bunch of weight by replacing my blood with Ozempic and then not going blind, and B) to write more articles about Saudi Arabia's sports washing venture in the games business.

i've only read one warhammer novel (Horus Rising) and it was good but also very funny how every single soldier in the wartorn fascist imperium indoctrinated from birth on religious human supremacy keeps turning to the audience and going "guys i dunno i think the iraq war might have been illegal"

What's especially funny is that Larian is a privately owned company, with it owning roughly 62% of its own stock. So they're using Gen AI for the love of the game here. You can't even point to a Nexon or Microsoft to blame, the call is coming from inside the house.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
