In Resident Evil 4, you wouldn't ordinarily encounter enemies anywhere near this well. But leading one over reveals that the Ganado's path-finding struggles with the many sides of the boundary. This is the longest duration of befuddlement I observed. ❤

On November 14, 1891, Sir Frederick Banting was born. He discovered insulin in 1921 and effectively made diabetes a treatable disease, when it was previously a death sentence. He sold the patent for insulin for $3 saying "insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."

Well sure.
We're in a post-generational console world.
Back compat, diminishing returns on tech, importance of Fortnite/Roblox etc to console, expansion of content access to other platform types and audiences... gens just don't mean as much now.
But I still have PS6 in my '27 forecast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Valve is doing a great job building a true gaming ecosystem with a unified OS that spans multiple devices.
If they lean into retail expansion and ramp up marketing, they could really break out of the niche space they currently occupy in hardware and compete with the big 3.
