New commercial from Fangamer! I wrote the spoken text, but I didn't end up seeing most of the visuals until the commercial was basically finished. Steve and Everdraed did an amazing job with them. (Also, it goes without saying, but commercials are non-canon.)

It feels weirdly dehumanizing, being treated and talked to as if I’m a character I voice, and not me. I’m glad you enjoy [insert character here], but I’m me. I have worth beyond my job and my characters, or at least I like to believe I do.

The Japan they’re desperate to stand up for needs to exist as a foil to the West. Whatever grief they have against the West is protected in their fantasy version of Japan, and therefore it must remain that way at any cost.

Towards the very end of my time at Bungie, I had started a project by myself to try and figure out if we could have our workstations go to sleep at night without disrupting overnight syncing+building. I was frustrated for years that we left thousands of PCs needlessly running for hours every night.
The headlines of late echo the importance of environmentalism in tech. This past week, courtesy of #CRCPress, comes the very apt:

A basic principle of any public bailout should be that we own all your stuff now. The shareholders, directors, and officers who were in charge when the bubble burst don’t get a windfall later. If we want to sell valuable assets back to the private sector, we do so later at market prices.
Which Democrat will call for this first?
@katmabu.bsky.social ? @aoc.bsky.social ?
We can do any bailout FAR better this time.

JESUS [speaking into intercom]
Hi can you send in Saint Nicholas please

SANTA [entering in full Santa garb]:
Hi boss
JESUS:
Hi Nick
3
JESUS:
Listen - about this ‘my birthday’ thing...
SANTA:
Ohh not this again boss
4
JESUS:
Nick, it’s out of hand. *You’ve* got out of hand.
5
JESUS:
I mean when I hired you, you was all humble, hiding under windows, lobbing in dowries…
And now you’re like…
6
JESUS [gesturing disdainfully at Santa’s clothing]:
I mean - what’s this.
7
SANTA:
This is my get up! I’ve had this since the Coca Cola deal in the 30s
JESUS:
*That’s what I mean.*
8
JESUS:
You’ve just gone too -
SANTA:
Oh no, oh no -
9
SANTA:
Sorry boss but waaay back in the Reformation, right, Martin Luther said: “why don’t we have Jesus delivering the presents?”. And when he prayed to ask you, do you remember what you said? Eh?
10
SANTA:
You said: “I ain’t going back there”
11
SANTA:
If you wanna take over -
JESUS:
Oh yeah! Kids coming downstairs to find me resurrected in their living room going "I got you an Xbox"...
12
SANTA:
You’re just feeling threatened cos I’m doing a bloody good -
JESUS:
*WATCH IT NICK*.

I am deeply uninterested in “Santa isn’t real” statements because that isn’t the point.
The point is that *anyone* can be Santa. Anyone can make a child smile or give food to someone who wouldn’t have a meal for the holidays (and no, it doesn’t just have to be a Christmas dinner either)

This one's a fun read
The OG Starcraft stuff they showed in 1996 always was shockingly unambitious for Blizzard, even back when I first saw those screenshots after the fact in like ~1999 or so, when I started frequenting Blizzard fansites.
As you'd expect, there's a story behind that!
