I was watching the movie No Escape last night. Apparently this was a conceit for a movie set in a dystopian future lol

Update on Parallel studios // Parallel TCG The brand-new, overhauled user experience for Parallel TCG is now complete, shaped by community feedback and refined through extensive optimization and game design. A significant amount of work has gone into elevating the game to the standard of world-class traditional TCGs. We are excited to bring it to mainstream mobile distribution platforms in the coming month through a global rollout across iOS and Android alongside the release of the next expansion set, Haven, and Parallel TCG World Championships Season 2. Parallel Colony We presented Colony at GDC in San Francisco at @googlecloud invitation, where it received a very strong response from the market. We are now in the final stages of completing the build and content ahead of a public iOS and Android release, currently targeted for April. Questions have come up around Colony’s visual resemblance to the lane-runner format often seen in mobile ads. That is a deliberate strategic choice, based on the fact that these formats remain among the few that continue to scale efficiently in mobile user acquisition. At its core, Colony is an AI-driven 4X title built with a deeper level of polish that we believe sets it apart from much of what is currently available in the market. Sanctuary We have slowed development on Sanctuary in order to prioritize the releases of TCG and Colony. Sanctuary remains a long-term project for us, but beyond the playtests we have already run, we are not setting hard timelines or release commitments at this stage. Wayfinder / AI AI is emerging as one of the most important technology shifts globally, driven by the rapid advancement of LLMs and autonomous agents. We believe this transition will create significant new infrastructure needs, and we have a number of internal AI initiatives underway to position ourselves accordingly. More will be shared on these initiatives in due course. @AIWayfinder has shipped several functional upgrades, but we see a much larger opportunity for it to evolve into critical infrastructure for agents. We are also continuing to expand the utility of Prompt and explore adjacent use cases that we believe can unlock meaningful value for the broader market. As capital, attention, and product innovation increasingly converge around AI, our focus is on building tools that can serve as enabling infrastructure for that shift.

Outlook Over the near term, our focus is on execution across both gaming and AI. In gaming, the releases of Parallel TCG and Colony mark major milestones for the company, and we are eager to see how these titles perform from a growth perspective once they are in market. While sentiment across gaming remains soft, we believe differentiated, high-quality products can still find traction. On the AI side, our focus is on finding product-market fit for both Wayfinder’s role in enabling on-chain AI to interact with blockchains and for a new tool we have been developing around broader agent utility. The AI market continues to evolve at an extraordinary pace, and we are actively testing where these products can deliver the strongest utility and market relevance. We have been developing something new that leverages Wayfinder but has broader applicability, and we are actively testing it before bringing it to market. More will be shared as things progress.

@BuxtonMatthew @BenicioDelToro There are no likeable characters in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Still a great show

@ParallelTCGpod @BenicioDelToro was the only likable character in that movie.

Reading post Oscar One Battle After Another reviews is a reminder that you can create a masterpiece and people will still hate you for it

@dave_schick I will

@ParallelTCGpod I see Oscar Mar's DNA all over this. Tell him he does great things.

There’s still more work to be done but it’s nice to see positivity on the timeline

@flip2rewind What seems to be happening? I’d like to pass it along

@ParallelTCGpod Huge improvement. It's glitchy for me on mobile but desktop is great

Make me the Bluetooth version for me desk

@templecrash this is what you’ve been talking about

@EasyEatsBodega So far so good

People think SINNERS will win Best Picture… Like an ALARMING amount of people.

A woman who plays a witch that kidnaps kids just won best actress. We’re so back

@EasyEatsBodega DEI am I right? Justice for parent trap

@EasyEatsBodega I’m going Micheal B on that. Sinners is going to win a few for sure and playing your own twin credibly is petty tough

@ParallelTCGpod Yeah, what you think for best actor??

@EasyEatsBodega Nothing is certain but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. PTA in the “it’s time” mode and it’s won pretty much every precursor

@ParallelTCGpod Think it’s OBAA?

@Sparrows___ Wild take

@ParallelTCGpod Good reviews but i watched no other choice last night, that movie sucked ass.

Since anyone who knows me knows my love of movies, I get a lot of questions about what I’ve seen lately. I’ve decided to get back into letterboxd boxd.it/nmS7
