One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Looks like I'm looking for work. If anyone out there happens to have a lead or principal level design gig in Austin or remote, I'm all ears.

The full arc of 8 years, from Dis1, the Daud DLC, Dis2, Death of the Outsider. Just an amazing ride. So many good developers, actors, support people.

Harvey Smith @harvey1966.bsky.social · 4d

Again this is Dis2, but also eternally thankful for my years in Lyon, working with the team...
This trailer makes me so happy, with Sal who wanted to use this song, Paris in Marketing who made it happen, and the art team led by Sebastian Mitton and Jean-Luc Monnet.

We shot some of the spot in the small town of Žatec, where a young guy kept spying on us. Security tried to drive him off, but I went to talk to him. He was a fan of Dis1 and had recognized the props. We sent him some merch and wished him the best for his game art aspirations.

Karlovy Vary was amazing. Decadent, beautiful, crumbling. We started in Prague, which is rich with history.

Harvey Smith @harvey1966.bsky.social · 4d

Getting drinks with the cast in Karlovy Vary, with them still in costume haunts me in the best possible way. Watching Delilah, Corvo, and Emily clink glasses. Such good people, cast and crew.

I think yesterday was the 13th anniversary of #Dishonored being launched. It snuck up on me.
This is from Dishonored 2, but I am forever thankful for getting to visit 3 cities in the Czech Republic as we shot this live action commercial.

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy.

More www.oecd.org/en/publicati... 🧪

Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes.
There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the
38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further
11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant).
Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average
but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems,
notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain,
Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with
much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.
