One of the best stories I found while I was researching my book on Suspiria was that in between shooting, Argento would go drinking in Munich with Udo Kier, Fassbinder and Bowie. So wild that Argento is the only one left now.

Today I wrote 2000 words on something I really like, and that is not work related. Give it another year and maybe it will be an actual, finished, something.

The Xbox 360 is twenty years old. There have been very few games better than Geometry Wars 2 released since then.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.
