I’m really into gaming, literally

[Astra Nova @Astra__Nova]

The journey begins!

“Fall of Saerinda,” Playtest Level 1 of Astra Nova, launches May 27th.

Tune in with @benxtrinh for an epic tour of Saerinda’s fiery ruins and war-ravaged landscapes. ⚔️

Survive the chaos, discover the Nexus, and witness the Guardian’s wrath. 🔥

Think you’ve got what it takes?

Klarna alarm… bells are ringing,
And the Debt… keep on clinging.
A swipe and a smile,
Four payments in style!
Walkin’ in a Buy-Now-Pay-Later land.

Breakdown of the Black Friday data tells us:

-Consumer is weakening.

-95% of sales volume was financed.

-67% of that intends not to pay off within 30 days.

-Roughly $1B was spent using BNPL models which are the worst debt.

This points to a *really* unhealthy economy.

@biiordache Sounds like a life well lived so far, with all its accompanying peaks and valleys. Keep going

The amount of dog poop on NYC sidewalks I have to hopscotch around daily reminds me that there’s a good reason not everybody should become parents

Lest you think the hunger of AI would be sated by the livelihoods of artists alone, don’t worry AI is coming for the Execs too 🤯

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

Today I just finished a project that took me 7 months to produce for a client.

This company now has an “AI Shadow” for each department head and C level executive.

The local encrypted AI listens in to all that the employee says and said to them and accesses all reports.

Today the CEO called each “AI Shadow” on the phone and got a report. And said it was the best insight he has in 40 years of business.

Next week each “AI Shadow” will be able to contact each other and their respective executives and brainstorm or answer questions.

This is the first known deployment of this type of technology and it was built in my garage.

It is early days but will write more about it as I can.

@nickfloats This is exactly how I leverage each of these tools in my workflow. So well stated.

@Astra__Nova Web3 gaming back then was filled with overpromise and glorified play to earn mechanics.

Today, web3 gaming is stepping up and embracing a more authentic and true gaming experience, with the web3 aspect being additive.

Tequila is a superlative teacher of intensity.

@Astra__Nova Should have worn a better outfit for braving the apocalypse, but had a lot of fun stepping into our world!

[b x t @benxtrinh]

@Astra__Nova Team has been working hard on this, excited for all this represents and what’s to come. Thank you all for taking the leap with us!

[Astra Nova @Astra__Nova]

Together, we're embarking on an incredible journey to make THE web3 RPG game.

[b x t @benxtrinh]

@Astra__Nova Super proud of what our team has accomplished so far.

All of these cinematic scenes were carefully built, animated, rendered in Unreal Engine with in-game assets.

It's been a wild ride but we're just getting started here!

[b x t @benxtrinh]

I've been working with some very hard working people across the world on this. And I couldn't be more excited and proud!
