I do believe Vince Gilligan when he says he wasn't thinking about AI when making Pluribus - but oh my god, the parallels are so clear that it makes me want to do a backflip

Went to a lovely friend's wedding yesterday, but none of us were going to miss watching Bake Off for a wedding

my dad has gone on a drunken ramble about how he wants to write a crime fiction book about a father who kills the murderer of his child as revenge by pretending to be a prison warden; I fear I am literally the child of Brent Norwalk from The Good Place

I have a question about the new Streamlined Progression feature in Remake
These are ostensibly accessibility options; why are they not included with them? It feels like a step backwards to start offering more accessibility using language that is a synonym for "cheating".

Leaving Gamescom with an incredibly full heart and some very aching feet. Was in a bit of a slump before getting here, but I feel so full of life again after just a few days.
I've met some wonderful people, and I actually feel like I might belong here? Wild
Until next year!

I am once again going to be descending onto Cologne this year for Gamescom
If I'm not sprinting around the centre, you'll find me hunting around for some good food
Excited to meet a bunch of people and to see some old friends!

Wrote an angry essay and declaration to myself - to be someone that people can be proud of. To not give up.

I sleep now.
