The last thing I want to say is that if you are a hard-working musician or writer, or aspiring to be, I send my love and

To all those artists and creatives, who push on without a nod, wink or pat on the back, I respect you. And in this time — stage designs still being drawn up, lighting still being experimented with, instruments still being played, and beautiful, moving, powerful lyrics and melodies still being written every day — I say this to you, and to myself: keep going, keep doing what you love, keep the faith, keep knowing what you do is more important than you will ever know.

And at the same time, music industry, I say to you: it is time to have a bigger discussion about where we are going and how we acknowledge and reward those who are, frankly, the reason this industry exists in the first place.

“Why is parenting so hard” “Why is parenting so exhausting” Why is parenting so lonely” Google search results that both affirmed how I feel and further depressed me. Parenting IS hard and it IS lonely and if Google is telling the truth, many of my fellow parents feel the same way and are probably desperate for support. They say parenting is supposed to take a village- it’s just that we’re missing the village.

How could we not feel lonely when our own government can’t prioritize meaningful legislation or programs that honor and support the labor of care-giving. Parental leave is not required in the US! Almost 2 million women have dropped out of the workforce since COVID hit and nothing has been done to address the dearth of support for these women.

It’s possible to see the effects of ray tracing without getting a fancy new TV, but only if developers use it. The recent Demon’s Souls remaster — one of the PS5’s most anticipated launch titles — elected to skip it. The game still looks great, but once again, the improvements aren’t universal. They’re more like a fringe benefit that occasionally shows up under the right circumstances.

Remember when you were a kid and didn’t want to hold your doll, or were done with your juice box-.just hand it to Mom, she’ll carry it! American moms are our culture’s default setting. Women still carry the brunt of the (unpaid!) emotional labor of child-rearing: managing timelines around online classes, muting and unmuting the mic for younger kids, shopping for food, keeping schedules, etc….All this while still “showing up” for work and meeting deadlines. The intensity of modern parenthood was heated before COVID and now, it has reached a boiling point.

Ray tracing also comes with a performance trade-off that puts it at odds with the new consoles’ other features. The latest Call of Duty, for example, can handle 120fps or ray tracing, but not both at the same time. In the future, both consoles are teasing that they might even be able to handle 8K gaming, but that would only make the performance trade-offs worse. Reaching those crazy resolutions is wildly optimistic.

And at the same time, music industry, I say to you: it is time to have a bigger discussion about where we are going and how we acknowledge and reward those who are, frankly, the reason this industry exists in the first place.

Of course, for many games, none of these graphics improvements will mean all that much in the first place. Earlier this year, the breakaway hit game Fall Guys became the most downloaded PS Plus game in history, and its most graphically complex elements are smooth jelly beans in cute outfits.

As a community builder and a parent, I want to explore why isolation as a parent feels like such a devastating universal truth in this moment and whether tapping into community might be a key to alleviating some of the pain.

The biggest budget games out there continue to push game consoles’ capabilities. Raw output numbers are only part of the story, however, and players are reaching a point where they have to start making decisions about what aspects of a game’s performance are most important to them. Are ray-traced graphics in Cyberpunk 2077 worth a more limited frame rate? Or is Destiny’s PVP game mode best experienced in 120fps?

We feel lonely because raising a child was never meant to be a solo journey of one or two parents with a child. It was meant to be aunts, grandmothers, cousins, sisters and beyond, all taking turns doing the nurturing, supporting and raising children together. Paying people to be your village of nannies, chefs, night nurses, doulas is easy if you’re extremely rich. Plus, it would allow for easy access to personal time with friends if you’ve got the paid-for village.

with completely random behavior for the first three days. Over the entire course of training, 4.9 million self-played games were generated, using 1,600 simulations for each Monte Carlo Search Tree. This corresponds to about 0.4 seconds of thinking time per move.

That intensified and sustained pressure is not without its own consequences — according to Jessica Calarco’s paper (“Let’s Not Pretend It’s Fun”) “Among the mothers who have greatly increased the time they are spending with their children, 80% report that they are experiencing more stress during the pandemic, 72% report that they are experiencing more anxiety during the pandemic, and 56% report that they are experiencing more frustrations with their kids.” In an unofficial survey of my mother friends, 85% of them are medicated for anxiety and/or depression. So, is it any wonder we are Googling for hope and connection!?

The proliferation of social media and mom-fluencers can add another painful pressure to the isolation, causing many of us to “compare and despair” the reality we see in our own lives to those on our screens. Too many perspectives and not enough vetted sources of truth can have our minds racing. Is breast best? Is formula ok? Why does breastfeeding look so easy for her? What’s a waist trainer? I want to get my pre-baby body back. Should I want to get my pre-baby body back? Body positive! How do I baby proof? When do I babyproof? What about screens? Will wooden toys make my kids smarter? Being a modern mother is hard enough without the proverbial peanut gallery weighing in.
