Got a beautiful new toy that I’m finding I keep staring at endlessly. A magnetically levitating D20 that’s also weighted for proper rolls. It’ll live in my home office (not pictured).
It’s an Ascendice 2 from a Kickstarter I backed last year.

Curiously not a single mention of how big any of these dev teams are whatsoever why is that?

I forever associate Donkey Kong Country 2 on SNES with the flu because I played through it as a teenager while being incredibly sick.
Similarly Planescape: Torment is associated with heavy fever as I had one when I was in the store buying it on release. 😂

#DailyGamingDiscussion : Have you ever played a video game while severely ill, recovering from surgery, etc? Did it comfort you and help you get through that time? Does it still remind you of those days?

16) Stole this one from a recent skeet I saw:
If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously.

Really the only two pull-quotes you need from this article (🎁).
1. Tech companies’ interest in AI for game development cannot be divorced from their desire to trap developers in expensive service contracts
2. AI gameplay creates new costs for games being played, which will be passed on to players.

Being vague on what the Switch 2 benefits are is a sure fire way to make your socials blow up I guess.
- The Switch version will average a 30 FPS experience at launch.
- The game will be playable on Switch 2 through backward compatibility and will benefit from the console's specs.
- Other platforms (PC, Steam Deck, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S) will have a solid 60 FPS experience.

Credits rolling on Donkey Kong Bananza.
One word.
Fucking-amazing-probably-the-best-platformer-Nintendo-has-ever-made-GOTY.
The way the game builds on its mechanics throughout the game and the escalation in level design is a case study in excellent game design.

This is why games spend 7 years in preproduction only to get cancelled.

Thoroughly enjoyed Superman.
A great Superman, right amount of charm, with a great supporting cast. Chemistry is off the charts. A Terrific cast you might say..
Solid fun story that drops you right into it but takes care to not rush things.
Was like a breath of fresh air for comic book movies.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.
![Post from Matt Turnbull:
These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone.
I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss.
Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed:
Career Planning Prompts:
“Act as a career coach. I’ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.”
“What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?”
Resume & LinkedIn Help
“Here’s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.”
“Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.”
“Draft a new LinkedIn ‘About Me’ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.”
Networking & Outreach
“Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I’m exploring new opportunities.”
“Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.”
Emotional Clarity & Confidence
“I’m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I’m good at?”
No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.
If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network.
Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpbuxrel3f3njvjw5rakf532/bafkreiei32dnyvihcdgifb5niw7rf65o2obawz5nschbc4czojo4ecgz4u@jpeg)

An unfolding UPS delivery story:
Last Friday a package being sent to me from France got misrouted to ICELAND instead of IRELAND. “Out for delivery” to my house, except it’s the wrong country.
It went France -> Germany -> Denmark -> Iceland.
I spoke with UPS and told them to send back to origin.

Never played Mario Galaxy back when it came out, so I’m taking the opportunity of the Switch 2 honeymoon to play the 3D Allstars release and it’s lovely but man Lumas(?) have heavy demands for Mario, poor man’s exhausted.

I love the Genki Attack Vector grips. Default size. Been using them a bunch last few days. Not seeing any of the fit issues that supposedly surround them. They and the backplate fit perfectly with no issues in the dock, though I primarily bought these to use the grip pieces on their own.

My favourite solo dev is Sid Meier. That guy makes a lot of quality games and has been for decades now. Inspiring. 🙏
