Out of the Blue

This has been a pretty hairy weekend here with all the reveals from all the game presentations. The post-E3 era is a bit fractured, if not Balkanised, so it's a scene. It's also hard to actually say when this flurry will be over. If ever. It may just be a steady stream into August and gamescom 2025.

The Gizmo watch yesterday was interesting. She found herself to a better tree to roost overnight. When she decided to take flight today, the camera operator lost her almost immediately. It's made several scans since then, but if she's within camera range, she's hidden at this point. But her flight today was strong and confident, a reassurance that she's ready for the wild.

RIP Bill Atkinson. There is contributing to your industry, and then there is reinventing how it works. Bill did the latter.

From the article and an interesting book, if you dig the history of the computer industry:
In “Insanely Great,” a book about the development of the Macintosh, Steven Levy wrote of Mr. Atkinson, “He had set out to reinvent the wheel; actually, he wound up inventing it.”

I wonder if I'll live long enough to see the US recover completely from this administration. I'm not sure I will, 15-20 years might not be long enough.
A day without video games is like... just kidding, I have no idea.
