Today is my 32nd birthday. Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves. Here's the life advice everyone needs to hear:

A cache of Polaroids from the set of HACKERS just dropped. I’m experiencing a lot of feelings about this. dazeddigital.com/fashion/galler…

Reposting: the news of layoffs speaks for itself. I’d love to help forward job openings and make recommendations for the folks impacted.

If you ever have the chance to hire a 343er, do it. I assure you that their talent, collaboration, passion, and grit will be unmatched.

It's been a difficult week for Halo developers, and especially for the talented folks who no longer work with us. If you've been impacted by the 343 Industries layoffs, please reach out. (1/3)

Just wanted to state explicitly that I was also laid off from 343. I can't say much about it. But I want the players to know that the team and I moved every mountain we could to bring you Infinite within the constraints we had, and I'm so proud of everyone.

So earlier in the week, I saw someone used ChatGPT to write a layoff notice as a CEO to the company using an MLK quote: x.com/mattstratton/s… And then I see this today. An actual CEO does a layoff and uses the same quote: slashdot.org/story/23/01/27… AI 🫠

I created a proof-of-concept integration of ChatGPT into Unity Editor. You can edit your Unity projects using natural language prompts. github.com/keijiro/AIComm…

here is another reminder about the LEGO Ideas Outer Wilds project, which is now a little over 1000 supporters away from reaching the 10k mark to be officially considered 😮 // ideas.lego.com/projects/42025…

My TUNIC Audio Talk is up on the GDC Vault! I know some folks were asking if it'd be available after GDC, and it looks like apparently YES! No login required! AMAZING🤘 gdcvault.com/play/1029369/T…

UNREAL is 25 years old today so I made a 3D short to celebrate one of the most important FPS (and engines!). Maxon Cinema 4D + OTOY Octane. Lots of materials/textures from Greyscalegorilla and some custom ones. Fullscreen and headphones for the full 1998-nostalgia experience!

Today’s a very big day! I’m very excited for LEGO Fortnite to be out in the world, over the moon for all the wonderful folks that helped bring it to life and sincerely honored to be a part of it. youtu.be/GeKTrjGdJ2E?si… youtu.be/AZAuqt_AvYY?si…
