Here's a sobering story about genAI that helps puts tragedies like Tumbler Ridge in perspective. torontolife.com/deep-dives/m...
Had a meta moment today when I got an ear worm, a snippet of an old @sarahharmer.bsky.social song and couldn't figure out the title. Finally realized it was from the Weeping Tile days - Old Perfume, that forgotten tune... I now recall.
Their argument seems to be 'too big to jail'.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I want to live in your fantasy world where there are things like 'leftover' xmas chocolate, 'extra' halloween candy, and presumably bags of chips that can last two whole days.

One of the perks of walking to work in Quebec is getting to see a sun dog. Another quirk that can be fun is when your eyelids freeze together ☀️❄️ 🥶
I guess this answers how those Canadian troops were killed by American fire in Afghanistan - they forgot we were there, answering their call for help.

Sure, it's the kind of cold that will kill you. But it's also an enjoyable walk to work. (Actually it's balmy today)
Terra Invicta finally officially released. Time to get sucked back in by those control points.

And as cool as AoT is, I think you're also going to enjoy one of the most fun free quests we've released, A Puzzlement, with some fantastic writing from Alissa Ralph.
We say, it's a feature!
Huge congrats to Whitney Rowland for her incredible and heartfelt narrative work bringing this collaboration with Attack on Titan to life in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

You said it was a bug...
Devastating.
Uh oh. More trouble for Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey... :/
Holy crap! Time to dust off my old Stargate SG1 spec script... variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Her skill is unmatched :)
And so, a painful scope reduction ended up producing two iconic moments in Batman: Arkham Origins.
It's never too late to strive for greatness.
Happy 12th anniversary to the game and the team.

That’s when I had the inspiration to have Joker kill him. It’s a great moment that helps reveal Joker’s character and helps sell why these other villains don’t really want to mess with him.
Well, that and his love of fruitcake.
But then what do we do with Electrocutioner? At that point in the progression, it’s too early for the shock gloves and so that fight can’t be his end.
Narratively, this super easy fight helps justify Batman’s confidence that he can take on all of these assassins. But it’s also a great setup for the Deathstroke fight in terms of the differential in difficulty.
And that’s when I came up with the pitch to keep Electrocutioner but cut his fight.
I suggested that we Indiana-Jones him. Turn him into the joke he is.
But I didn’t want to cut Shiva. She was one of the very few female characters we had and she is super cool. Given her martial arts abilities, I thought her boss fight could be on par with what we were putting together for Deathstroke.
Copperhead – we didn’t want to cut her fight because she was a new interpretation of a character that was coming along very nicely.
Electrocutioner – we essentially couldn’t cut because he came with the shock gloves which were a core gadget for the game.
And so, the team settled on Shiva.
Scope reductions can be painful opportunities to make your game better.
In Batman: Arkham Origins, we had to cut some boss fights. There were a few rounds of this, but at a critical moment, we came to what we thought would be our last cut. There were three fights to choose from.
The AC Shadows post-launch team is really proud of the next story content drop, two new free questlines coming in November. Looking forward to sharing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvNS...
Legendary!
