I've been replaying the first game. I like to alternate between the two, but for the most part the OG looks nicer IMO.

The huge backlash to people having dumb one-dimensional takes about The Pitt has given me faith in media literacy. Thanks everyone.

I had the same realisation literally 30 minutes into building it with my own kids.

Anyway, Labo was so dumb and the reviews annoyed the shit out of me when it first came out.

Labo was a product, aimed at kids, that only adults could enjoy.

Mario Galaxy is a movie aimed at adults that only children could enjoy.

Okay, so that doesn't quite work. But you know what I mean!

It was just so mad. Getting 20 something men with no concept of human children to review a product that, quite clearly, would never fucking work.

Thinking about this in the context of Mario Galaxy reviews, which is the direct opposite of Labo.

My kids destroyed Nintendo Labo in a single day With many kids, Nintendo Labo can be a magical, educational bonding experience. My kids are not those kids...

I'm working on a parenting type thing for CHOICE and found myself re-reading the piece I wrote about Nintendo Labo when it first came out.

Remember all the glowing reviews about how this shit was gonna be the new Minecraft?

Thinking about @serrels.bsky.social and his increasingly large and fast son

YES

Sorry, should have posted this shit on LinkedIn lmao.

As always your commitment is to your audience. Big tech is getting better at filtering out the gamified garbage for the most part. That's the good news. But don't make the mistake of brutalising your stories into bullet points or some bullshit to make it easier to slurp up.

Expect senior folks in your company to come back from expensive conferences with big ideas about how to make your stories easier to surface in LLM results -- despite the fact it rarely amounts to anything concrete or measurable. In MBA brain speak, the juice ain't worth the squeeze.

Starting to really get sus on SEO experts suddenly becoming "GEO experts". Got the whiff of "pivot to video" about it. My gut feeling is a lot of these consultants are in panic mode and are looking for a new product to sell.

Sending all of my love to the Vox Media folks. I hope whatever deals are made in the coming weeks, they benefit the writers, editors, artists, designers, video makers, coders, project managers, salespeople, P&C folks, and everybody else. They deserve to land at homes that respect their talents.

Doom is a form of mum game. Any game in which you clean the level meticulously and thoroughly before moving on and then the next time you return its a mess again is a mum game

There's gonna be so many different ways for you to buy the mag. All good!

The big dawg (my 10 year old son)

Horrific. Feel like this shit is gonna get worse before it gets better in the next decade or so.

This is how much good jackets mean to you.

I honestly need more people to reply to me to get this hellish image out of my mentions lmao

lmao

It's me babaayy!
