Weeknotes #48 (October 04, 2025)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- Both Amazon and Google showed off their futures of their digital assistants. Alexa Plus native Echo devices were unveiled this past Tuesday and are coming over the upcoming weeks starting at $99, while Google's Gemini powered speaker is coming in Spring 2026. I have products in both ecosystems personally already, but in my opinion the showcase felt lackluster due to if you already have almost all existing Echo devices and every single Google Home / Nest speaker will be getting the respective upgrades.
- Sucker Punch's new game Ghost of Yotei, the follow up to Ghost of Tsushima, was released this past week. Definitely felt like the original game yet more a personal story compared to a historical happening.
