I've compiled some of my proudest work from my time at Bungie. It has been a joy to contribute to the Destiny universe and bring life to its inhabitants, big and small. Per Audacia Ad Astra

in the same week we are seeing steam next fest full of ai slop projects, epic games doubling down on an ai first mindset, all while watching historic studios get shuttered with hundreds of people now added to the already thousands of laid off devs this is the future of gaming

We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

still remember watching a David Attenborough documentary where he mentioned that at full gallop the Cheetah's whole body is lifted off the ground longer than the times the paws makes contact, so in a way the Cheetah is almost flying.

Incredible slow motion footage of a cheetah running at over 60mph (96km/h), captured at 1200fps by cinematographer Greg Wilson.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Monopoly was invented in America. it is based on Atlantic City. the world does not revolve around you, it revolves around the glorious state of New Jersey.

I just found out that Americans have a different version of Monopoly rather than the one with London locations on it. Which should honestly have been common sense. But I just assumed the London one was the default board everywhere
