I managed to get 2 presentations ready for an internal company AI conference a little less than a week and a half away. I’m looking forward to seeing my coworkers – many from the area that I’ve met before, but plenty of new ones that I’ve never met in person. I’m fairly excited about one of my presentations and the little demo app that goes with it. I’m not sure how everyone will like it, but it was fun to work on. The other presentation isn’t my favorite because it’s just a bit too generic and unfocused. It’s ok, but I’m still trying to think if there are ways to make it more useful or interesting – though it might just be a short presentation and we have an extra break which also wouldn’t be a terrible thing.
I (so far) didn’t get selected for Nintendo’s Switch 2 pre-order from their online store. Looks like we might only get the two I was able to pre-order in the first hour after third party retailers opened their pre-orders. That’ll be fine though. I’m still going to check the order page for a while to make sure I don’t get an invite…
This week is hopefully getting back to some normal work instead of conference focused stuff. I’d like to try to get back to playing a little Xenoblade Chronicles X too – I still have a *lot* of story/game left to play there, but I’ve had (and still have) more important things to do with my time so I put that on the back burner. I think work will settle down a bit more now that the presentations are done and some other after hours questions won’t be needed so I can get in a little bit of gaming time in occasionally. I really want to give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a go too on PC or Xbox, but I’m not even going to try to start that until I know I can carve out some dedicated time for it…I think I’d really like that, but it feels like a game where if I don’t play consistently I’ll forget the controls.
