By the way, what’s a AA? Instead of fuzzy labels like 'indie' and 'AA', we propose a new data-driven system to classify video games based on their actual production scope. This new framework reveals the real economic and creative trends shaping the video game industry.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna start calling game teams "kei" and "midi" and not "iii" or "indie" and you're gonna hate it but I'm right to do it, until we have better terms, sorry bro, this is not discourse, this is praxis

The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

Systems Software in the Large / Oxide An extraordinary talk on developing systems software in the large

Jeff VanderMeer's Area X: The Southern Reach Files, an expansion of the Area X story by way of a hidden metal box full of secret images and documents, purporting to be the last report of a Central agent; a full-color book spanning the 30 years of Southern Reach expeditions, reaching into the past and the future, pitched for Area X completists while adding to the narrative begun with the first four novels, to Michael Sands at Abrams in an exclusive submission, by Joseph Veltre at Gersh Agency and attorney Alex Kohner (world).

Text submitted to Publishers Marketplace: An epic and mind-blowing expansion of the Area X story by way of a hidden metal box full of secret images and documents purporting to be the last report of the Central agent Karen Hargraves.

Thrilled to announce this ground-breaking new book, Area X: The Southern Reach Files! The Central agent in question is, of course, Hargraves from Absolution. The book includes some new ways of approaching storytelling, and also I hope will be satisfying in lots of other ways. More in a thread. 1/?

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

100% agreed. I ended up falling it away from it close to release (travel, work, open world fatigue, etc.), but the game feels absolutely great now. I'm hoping to actually finish it this time!
