There's one tiny little thing that made me very happy this week: I remembered that 1.5 years ago I shared an idea on a Miro board and it may have been one of the many ideas that contributed to the story/setting of our latest expansion (credits to the GW2 development team, they do all the work)

New Guild Wars 2 expansion tomorrow! Every year I'm also in awe looking at the wiki and seeing the work of passionate editors (these are graphs of the number of articles and editors over the past 5 years). I also can't wait for players to travel to Castora

These words from Zelda Williams about her father Robin are the absolute truth. Her father would have fought against genAI, as he embodied humanity, the good, the bad, the nonsense, the incoherence, the genius, the emotions, the fragility. AI slop lacks any and all of that.

People focus too much on the GPU price hike and not enough on game lists per tiers. I looked at them for essential and premium yesterday, and it had little (i don't just mean "new games") i could justify $10 or $15 for a month

Lire ces mots me rassure un peu. C'est une tragedie horrible et un antisemitisme inacceptable, mais l'utilisation de ces situations pour d'autres raisons est bien trop banalisee dans la presse et politique

This week, I completed the project to insulate our home, thanks to the huge incentive from the energy company. Together with buying an EV last year, this slashes my environmental footprint (the below are incorrect estimates) by an enormous amount, and this is a source of happiness.
