Dock

Perfect lighting and fog to make the dock look like it leads to nothingness.

Definitely regretted not bringing my camera that day

EA desperately wants investors to know it's on the generative AI bandwagon
  • I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here's the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

    1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don't know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

    2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it's EA

    3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

    • to use AI, not artists
    • fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
    • sell platforms, not content
    • engage algorithmically

    They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a "game" (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute "game"

    This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

    Athens. For some reason, this room forbade photography. Just this room. Why?! I took this shot from the balcony of a different section..

    Features a 1511 remodel including new staircases, fitted with a water source inside the cave and a secret passage way to allow for food ingress during a siege, and stunning views of the Slovenian countryside.

    Horseshoe Bend

    Probably a cliche landscape for a photographer. Near Page, Arizona, it's a mighty view and a good opportunity to pull out the wide-angle. Just don't let the crowd push your camera off a cliff during the sunset chaos. I might go back one day and try a sunrise shot.
