The XBOX layoff announcement was shrewd, By not announcing any studio closures or game cancellations and stating the obvious mismanagement they avoid all the usual social media ire, but reality is that vast amounts of institutional knowledge was erased from their company today.

People always ask "whats the Citizen Kane of video games" but I got a better question: What's the Dark Souls of movies?

Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track. As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.

Pragmata feels like a game that was made in the early 00s but was lost to time. It carries Capcom's PS2 era vibe into the modern day. Check out my latest video discussing my thoughts on this very unique game! RTs greatly appreciated - youtu.be/NnLw_sCMHzk

As someone who chaps nintendo's ass a lot lately on their switch 2 lineup, if the second half of the year is a brand new Star Fox, Fire Emblem, Splatoon spin off, Duskbloods, and an Ocarina of Time remaster/remake then id say thats a pretty fuckin baller second half of 26!

A not insignificant part of AI hype does seem to be aging boomers and middle-aged millennials desperate to feel like they're still on the front lines of something important.
As a generally pro-AI 41 year-old parent, I've been surprised how anti-AI my 12 year-old son is. I'm used to young people being pro- new technology (I certainly was). But my son is genuinely pretty negative on AI. Still processing why this is.
