Watching Americans, people from a country where access to health care, education, food and shelter are not considered human rights insisting air conditioning is a human right.

Once again Division 2 predicts the future.

We're north enough to be at the edge of the heat dome, but these are very high temperatures for this part of the world.

Taking a walk around Malmö harbour. Nice day.

I hate Trump but this is a terrible analogy. Rome lasted 1000 years, doing this the entire time.

When I look at artist portfolios the biggest group is people with no real ability, sadly. The second biggest group are artists with ability but everything is predictable and generic. These are the artists at the biggest risk of competing with AI.

I've played around with gen AI. I'm a curious person. Whatever it gives me I end up needing to do so many paintovers it doesn't really benefit me. I'm not a great artist but I can hack digital art together at good speed. If gen AI saves you time then maybe you're just not that good.

Most of our game art results from a process where a brief is written, detailed concepts are made, 3d models are built, animated, then finalised by tech art. But sometimes one of us shouts, "I have an idea!" and we bash something together in record time...

He's been yelling at us all day and absolutely nothing would appease him but he's finally conked out.

When Kid Rock isn't available.

Fun day at work. Lots of problems solved. Lots of fun ideas put forward. Good creative energy from everyone. I love days like this.

The Destiny 2 news hits hard. I always considered them our main competition but in the friendliest way possible. In a perfect world we both succeed. But we always felt smaller, more at risk. Never expected this outcome. My love to the Destiny 2 devs. GG folks. GG.

The local science fiction bookstore is holding some kind of march. I have no idea why.

My concert line-up for November is getting crazy. Jungle on Nov 6 Tove Lo on Nov 16 Jessie Ware on Nov 18

We had a 3.9 earthquake today. Not very strong but extremely unusual.

Went to Bouchon, a local restaurant that is pretty serious about classic French food. Calf brains in lemon butter sauce.🍽️

❤️❤️ Olivia Dean ❤️❤️

While we wait for the Olivia Dean concert I booked us access to the exclusive Vinyl Lounge. With all you can drink cocktails.

My "this is not a golden calf" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

This is Lazlo the gargoyle enjoying the sunset. Lazlo has been watching over us for 30 years now. We couldn't ask for a better protector.

Poulet Yassa. Well ok it's not really photogenic. West African dish of chicken, onions, carrots, lemons, mustard and habanero chilies. I haven't made this for a while. Tangy and spicy as hell. I love it.🍽️

I made breakfast! Nopales con huevos. Cactus paddles and scrambled eggs with cheese and two salsas on a fried corn tortilla. 🍳🍽️

The weather is glorious. Terrace time.

The bird watcher.

We picked up sandwiches at a bakery and headed to the park. Pretty good view for our lunch.

Alright giving this a try.

Last dinner at Marvin before they switch to the summer menu. Steak and Guinness pie and scotch eggs.

I have an inflamed taste bud and this is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone.

Me today.

View from my hotel room. Could be worse.

Ok I'm in a nice pub in Stockholm and they have free hot dogs every weekday from 4 to 6. Just go up to the station, grab a bun and a dog, add mustard and ketchup as you will and chow down. And this is a place that sells really nice food. Amazing.

Watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs I am reminded how much I wish I could get a TV feed with audio from the arena but with no play by play or commentary when it comes to live sports broadcasts. When I'm at the game there's no play by play and I don't miss it.

We've been busy. Kori-Mex bibimbap with minced beef mole. Over rice and topped with an egg yolk, and six banchans: salsa, kimchi, avocado, mushroom, cucumber and nopales. Photos taken moments before stirring it together. So good. @riverofcrows.bsky.social 🍽️🍳

Baked scrambled eggs with roast beef, onion, horseradish, blue cheese and cream. Molten lava lake in the centre for dipping our fried bread into. 🍳

My half of my cheeseburger fritatta. 🍳

The greatest compliment a person can receive is the trust of an animal.

We've been watching The Artful Dodger, which I'm enjoying a lot. The premise is brilliant, take the Dodger and Fagan, ostensibly villains in Oliver Twist but easily the book's most interesting characters, and continue their story in the colonies.

Those who get it should appreciate this.

So is the Democratic party still a thing or what?

I think about our government maybe once or twice a month and never for long. Being an American right now must be fucking exhausting because it never lets up.

More farewell parties tonight. I might be having farewell party burnout. That's a hell of a thing to have burnout for.

Pillow or cat?

Reusing and repurposing art assets in video game development is harmless and keeps costs down. Insisting everything be built from scratch just skyrockets development costs and development time which helps no one.

Ah yes. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, that game where you play as a dude in a bookshop.

This is painted on the wall of my hotel room.

Some colourful old buildings in Gamla Stan.

It's watching me while I eat breakfast. I swear I saw it move.

Moose carpaccio, parsnip cream, oyster mushrooms, sunflower seeds. This was incredible. It tastes like the forest. Ardbeg Embassy in Gamla Stan. I will be back.
