How’s that line go again? The things we own end up owning us. It probably doesn’t apply in this instance but we talk about the whole physical and digital ownership thing where, for a good long while now I’ve found myself owning more digital than physical.

We took a week off and we wish we came back with good news but it’s still depressing week after week. This seems likely to be the case going forward. Studio closures and lay offs.

More price increases or flat out shortages because of RAM due to AI – which is also a part of the job losses. Microsoft just made a big shakeup in their leadership, which brings us back to AI again given who took ove...
