This quote from Michał Nowakowski is SO important: [Opening the Boston studio] "brought in a wealth of multi-layered experience, skills, and backgrounds. We strongly believe that this investment will pay off in the future, bringing the next Cyberpunk experience to a new level."

as someone whose research focus is in identity & personhood, this so interesting to me
primarily because in practice, personhood is not *inherent* so much as a social status granted by a community
this is a fascinating early demonstration of this concept at work. popular belief defines "real"

pet peeve:
games that advertise having full controller support but the "support" is "you can move a mouse cursor around the screen with your joystick"
that's dark design and dark marketing as far as i'm concerned

the first time I was in the US I was taken to dinner to a place named Dick's
but no one told me what Dick's was so i was very confused when the waiter literally threw my cutlery at me and insulted everyone at the table
i was just like "man, restaurants are a lot more friendly in australia"

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.

Actually caramelizing onions used to be a nearly instantaneous process, but due to an unknown property of the universe, every time someone caramelizes an onion the process takes ever so slightly longer.
