  1. @bryan Noooo! Don't even think about this. They're not ready.

    (a) Not a "little" robot - it will take up a whole human's worth of space, even while charging.

    (b) Not helpful. Look at the lighting changes while it's folding - that one piece took *hours*. The cooking example? Note how it doesn't show important things like "does the food stay in the pan" and "is it actually scraping the bottom of the pan and preventing burning, or is it just waving the spatula around in the vicinity of the pan"! In the "pouring" example, you can't tell how much is going in - will it randomly overfill or put so little in you have to top it up yourself?

    (c) The wobble in the tidying up example shows it has poor maneuvering and manipulation precision - it can grab can and bottle sized things because its grippers have a lot of flexibility to compensate, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to carefully place the spatula in its hand. Note how the "load the dishwasher" example has it just waving a pan around in the proximity of the dishwasher, not actually placing it between the rack tines. I suspect it isn't actually capable of loading a dishwasher because of that imprecision. I *absolutely would not* trust it with glassware.

    Horrifying!!!

  2. I remember that Lost was a huge thing around my pals.

    I feel so vindicated to never tuning in that #TVSeries because it wasn't made around characters and narrative, but around a bunch of questions which answers held hostage for further seasons.

    Great stories are made by where characters start and where they end, not around misteries.

  3. #4loop requires a lot of time in the oven.

    I'll always root for games to end up fun, since it means more, steadier work.

    I don't believe they sould make a Play Test, but rather, lean heavily on Early Acess and then launch when its complete.

  4. Hold up, PlayStation, Bad Robot, *and* the mind behind Left 4 Dead (Mike Booth) are cooking up a new co-op shooter for PS5 & PC! Booth even hinted it's building on L4D's foundations. My body is ready, is yours? What's your ideal co-op setup?
