Some more Gamescom reporting from me.
When pushed to elaborate on what using Generative AI "as part of the ideation process" meant for those unfamiliar with the process, the Crazy Taxi series creator told me, "Today I would like to talk about Crazy Taxi: World Tour, and the time is limited."

finished lurruna, and MAN after kid chameleon consumed so much time to write that article, it felt refreshing to play a game so concise!
i'd like to write about this too, but for now, it's a healthy challenge and rewards experimenting with your tools in all the right ways. definitely recommend!

i've been thinking a lot about how i'm going about trying to improve on writing about games
i know the only way to improve how one does anything is to keep doing it, and i've written almost 60,000 words in the last 9 months, but i never know if i'm reinforcing the right things or not [1/?]
