There, voted again in the second round for the presidential election in Brazil. My most desperate and hopeless vote ever, only to keep my streak of always voting against any Bolsonaro running. Dark days ahead for my countrypeople.

Dropping AI from my life has been a huge relief. We are slow-learners, and the pressures of parsing a firehose information that MIGHT be good is not worth it. Again, AI is great for some narrow uses, usually related to data-crushing massive info sets. For the rest of us, it is a distraction.

After a long and beautiful project, it is time to start anew. If you are looking for an experienced Community Manager, PO, Country Manager in Gaming/Entertainment, hit me up =) I also need some sleep, so let me do that for a couple days!

Remember when Trump told a pro-life rally in Washington, D.C., that every child is 'a precious gift from God'? #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #StephenMiller #Iran #MiddleEastCrisis #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

I discovered yesterday that Xenoblade Chronicles X has received a Switch 2 patch. I have played maybe 30h of my Switch 2 since it was released months and months ago, and Xenoblade was expressly the reason why I got it. After playing it, I can confidently say: screw Nintendo.

I love the Divinity games. I love BG3. But in this day and age, we should never like companies, no matter how 'friendly' or 'cool' they portray themselves to be. We live in a society that exists for companies, not people. Don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

Larian CEO Swen Vincke says everyone at the Baldur’s Gate 3 studio is “more or less OK” with the way AI is being used on its new game. We’re not so sure about that.

I truly believe decentralized currencies are the future. Giving users and companies more control of their financial flow is a net positive for everyone. Especially in places with depressed or controlled economies. We are launching this today, and I'm very proud of it trails.build/lem

Finally overcame my cowardice and swapped Windows for Linux (I had tried it around 2016, but we don't talk about that here). Bazzite seemed like a great starting point for someone with minimal knowledge, and so far, I'm extremely impressed by everything. Do it too. You know you want to. #bazzite

Exactly 25 years ago, at 09:21 UTC, the era of continuous human presence on the International @Space_Station began. Since Crew One took up residence in 2000, 21 @esa.int astronauts have lived and worked on this orbital outpost, conducting essential research to benefit life on Earth.

Brazil has a great chance today to show that officials can and should be held responsible for abuse of power and conspiring against the structures that supported them. I hope Bolsonaro gets the book thrown at him, and that the rest of the world takes notice. Arrest and prosecute your local felons.

I've been playing Space Harrier ever since it was first released in the arcades. Today, many decades later, was the first time I've beaten it using 2 credits or less. It's not the hardest game I've ever played or beaten, far from it, but it was my personal albatross, so I'm happy tonight.
