PSA: If you are tired of Claude-lish or Chat-lish, tell your AI to read the Google Developer Docs Style Guide and build a skill that follows it It’s like magic. Suddenly your AI will make sense again! I’ve tried both and this is much better than the ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English skill And friends at the labs: please invest more in AI comms skills! A brilliant agentic AI that cannot speak English is dramatically less useful and undermines the utility of RLVR developers.google.com/style

Here's how I made the @cursor_ai announcement video: I built the scene off a real Wii Menu - I used Dolphin Emulator to run an emulated Wii on my mac that I screen recorded in 4k I used Cursor with Grok 4.5 to dig around in the Dolphin system files. This allowed me to modify the look of the Wii menu - add custom channels and create arbitrary messages From there, I broke down the scene: - I wanted a custom message in the messages folder to start the video - I wanted a "Cursor" channel for the announcement The channel art presented some challenges - Wii uses obtuse formats for system graphics (TPL, BRLYT, BRLAN), this meant I couldn't just drop in MP4s / PNGs Rather than struggle with that, I reverse-engineered the tile by installing Homebrew - a tool for modding the Wii - and duplicating all of the custom Homebrew assets It was much easier to ask Cursor to modify existing assets rather than create new ones. Then, I replaced the logos with a high-quality Cursor image obtained from our brandkit The fun part was the Channel preview (below) - I used Playwright to extract the raw HTML assets from Cursor dot com, and manipulate them into a format supported by the Wii That allowed me to create a high-fidelity preview - the video felt like visiting the Cursor homepage. Finally, clicking "Start" loads the dynamic Cursor graphic. I bugged a teammate for that asset, then used a video editor to patch it in along with some stock music I sourced from @epidemicsound Finally, I added a CRT effect with @remotion to give some extra nostalgia and synced up the track to key transition moments... voila!
