Rolled credits on Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy. Combat was sooo bad but dammit their storytelling, atmosphere, and puzzles made it well worth my time.
@HAmorata Steam Machine looks awesome-- the form factor is worth the unfortunate price for enthusiasts, not as console competition. I don't understand why this is so divisive, new tech (especially in the pc/gaming space) is always fun to tinker with. I wish you the most luck, happy gaming!
Putting the incredible effort to capture the soul of all that is Batman in the new Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight game, but then not letting me co-op online... such a huge miss.
Why didn't anybody ever tell me that Final Fantasy 14 (mmo) was actually super solid and worth playing? Kind of a great slow burn story and gameplay is more of a fun dance than WoW, at least, 2 dlc's in anyway... a million years late to the party.
It's that time of the year again... always capture my first Griffey Jr. home run in the show... tradition! The Show 26 is a little weird but still feeling good. Not so sure about these menus but hey.. baseball! #Mariners
@HAmorata When I still had the energy to promote libertarian principles I used to have a dramatic, well-practiced "muh roads" crash out. Now it's just fun to see people who haven't given up meme in style.
Brandon Sanderson projects where he maintains creative control, with Apple money and production value? I thought we only were getting bad news these days! Big W for us nerdy fantasy fans!

@HAmorata I've always loved these games... can't talk about the playtest/closed beta but looking forward to seeing my name in the credits. These games hit different.
Helping kid prepare for chess tourney friday, he's much much better than me. After we played a bunch over the board and he got chess clock and notation reps, all he could say for my play is that I have "old, intelligent ideas that can slip under the radar." Old, not bold. Old.
The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation."
I don't know what Agile means.
Nobody does.
That's why it works.
I make $425,000 a year.
To move sticky notes.
From left to right.
On a board.
The board is digital now.
The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses.
Progress.
Day one, I said "we need to break down silos."
Everyone nodded.
Silos are bad.
I don't know why.
But destroying them is a career.
My career.
I introduced "squads."
Squads are teams.
But disrupted.
We disrupted the teams into teams.
Different names.
Same people.
Same problems.
But Agile problems now.
Agile problems are strategic.
A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing.
I said, "The mindset."
He asked what that means.
I said, "It's a journey."
He asked where we're going.
I said, "Toward agility."
He asked what agility means.
I pointed at the sticky notes.
They were moving left to right.
That's velocity.
We have velocity now.
The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work.
I said, "That's waterfall thinking."
Waterfall is bad.
Like silos.
I don't know what waterfall is.
But I know it's bad.
She stopped talking.
Waterfall accusations end conversations.
We had a retrospective.
In the retro, we discussed what went wrong.
Everything went wrong.
We put it on sticky notes.
Then we moved the sticky notes.
Into a column called "Parking Lot."
The Parking Lot is where problems go to die.
It's full.
We don't look at it.
That's agile.
Velocity is up 40%.
I defined velocity.
I also defined the points.
I also defined the stories.
We're crushing it.
At the things I made up.
To measure.
Ourselves.
The CEO asked for ROI.
I showed a chart.
The chart went up.
Charts should go up.
This one did.
I didn't label the Y-axis.
Nobody asked.
Leadership is confidence.
We do standups now.
Every day.
We stand.
For 45 minutes.
Standing is agile.
Sitting is waterfall.
My legs hurt.
But we're transforming.
The transformation is now "Phase 3."
Phase 1 was assessment.
Phase 2 was implementation.
Phase 3 is "continuous improvement."
Continuous means forever.
Forever means job security.
I'm very secure.
My contract was extended.
Three more years.
For "cultural impact."
The culture is confused.
But impacted.
Agile transformation isn't about being agile.
It's about transforming.
Continuously.
Toward more transformation.
The destination is the journey.
The journey is billable.
