Gonna say this in the rare moment where I’m far enough from a release:

Dear game journalists and pundits: Almost every important / cool / successful game you’ve ever raved about launched without genre defying concurrent numbers. I get that metrics are cool, but learn tracking

Here you go, here's your *real* recession indicator

Farage reckons it’s because of one really giant Hungarian family voting

Listening to Kemi Badenoch and feeling almost envious of a life lived entirely undisturbed by reality.

thread of recordings i think you should check out

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

This bronze wine jug is a masterpiece of La Tène, or early Celtic, culture. It is influenced by Etruscan bronzework, but this was made in Gaul. The handle is shaped like a dog &, delightfully, a little duck sits on the spout so when wine was poured, the duck would seem to be swimming.

Ex-Blizzard president says gamers need to 'man up' over AI usage in games after Crimson Desert devs issue apology "AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game."
