Every 6mo I realize how DUMB I was 6mo ago and it astonishes me
I am still pretty dumb, but I have a superpower of updating priors rapidly across all domains and a near-perfect recall memory, so I never forget anything I've updated as long as it's connected to 1 other memory
If a video game is in development, I don't wanna hear shit about it, AT ALL.
I don't want a trailer, I don't even want a hint that it even exists unless it's 98% done.
I know that sounds crazy but it's where I'm at.
