What is up all!
Lots of things changing recently. Got a new job that is starting in a couple of weeks that is changing my hours from working at night to working early in the day and I am super excited for it!
Going to become more active than before now thanks to it!
Hope everyone is safe today.

One less game studio I need to worry about then.
Level-5's CEO claims that 80-90% of game coding is written by AI now.
The studio has disclosed that they extensively use AI, from everything from game code, assets, and character idea, dialogue, and narrative, which is then refined by humans.

Being sick sucks. Especially when you are sick for a couple days, then feel a whole lot better, and then get sick again. It’s been a cycle that happens to me every winter and I hate it.
Sorry I haven’t been online or communicated with people recently like I wanted to. Been trying to recover.

I really don’t think this is gonna go down very well. There are going to be a lot of different issues from it, and who knows what the ending outcome could possibly be.
Netflix confirms it will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO, for about $82.7 billion, after separation of Discovery Global (which is expected to be completed in Q3 2026).

It’s snowing out today.
Tried to still go to work (no snow tires on car yet)
Started skidding on a hilly road. Drove back home.
Called out from work.
Called store to let them know I wasn’t risking my life for work.
Boss says “yep” and hangs up…
Welp time for hot cocoa and games.

I really don't like the phrase be a man and stop crying or get a grip.
Guys, if you want to cry let it out there's NO shame in it.
You aren't weak for showing emotions.
We are all human, Men should talk about how they feel without being told they are weak for doing it. 🩵

Pokémon Company and Nintendo… this better not be a $70 game key card and it’s just a smaller priced game if you are doing a GKC for a first party IP.

Definitely going to be more active starting today. Needed some time off for life and personal issues. An extra hour of sleep today was very much needed.

Absolutely horrible. We have a real reason for some of the things that have been happening, but it is still not a great thing.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.
