Not so long ago, the announcement that Sony didn't have any new entries in its major first-party franchises in the pipeline for the coming year would have been viewed as an extraordinary opportunity for Microsoft to gain ground on the market leader. There are many reasons why Xbox has faced an uphill struggle against its major rival.

In the ever-evolving landscape of filmmaking, the script serves not just as a blueprint. It stands as a living, flexible entity, set to evolve and adapt amidst the unfolding pressures and demands of production. This fluidity can be the crucible in which good films are forged into great ones. The history of cinema is replete with examples where script revisions during production not only saved films from potential mediocrity but elevated them to iconic status.

Yesterday was a bit of an oddity in that, for some, it was both Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday, which are two very, very different celebrations. Valentine’s Day is, in the US at least, a day spent celebrating romantic love with a certain sort of excess—chocolate, gifts, and perhaps fancy dinners. Lent, however, is a season of self-denial, reflection, and meditation, according to practitioners.

One common mistake I see with young devs is that they invest too much of their identities into what they do for work. I can understand that quite well - for most of my early career, I did the same thing. I was the game dev. I worked on famous games that most people had played, or at least heard of. It's a really big ego boost when total strangers you meet know of your work and are impressed with your job.
