Everyone on this team was so infuriatingly talented. It's pretty soul crushing for this to happen. Friends that are hiring, don't hesitate to reach out if a resume that mentions Gravity Well passes by your desk, I'll be happy to tell you that the person that submitted it is solid gold.

While in Alaska last month I saw an ad for a local soda and thought “wow, they must not care much about their own product.”

An AI generated ad for a soda made in Alaska. A can of “white burch beer” sits on a stump. Weirdly symmetrical birch trees in the background reveal the image was AI generated

A close up of the can. The finer print is garbled genAI noise. The bottom says “Naturally Plncesnd, colou3s and cwbetea5d”

Naturally, I assume the role would be to eat tacos. I normally pay to do that so I think I'm overqualified to get paid for it.

Ever get those LinkedIn e-mails that try to get you to pay for their premium membership by teasing what businesses have looked at your profile? I usually ignore them but suddenly I'm considering a backup plan if/when this whole game dev thing falls apart 🤔

This should be a wager. If England loses, Greggs has to offer authentic tortas.

Chad Armstrong @chadarmstrong.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Looking at that I’d argue Gregg’s had never had Mexican sandwiches on their shelves to begin with

Chad Armstrong @chadarmstrong.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

To be more pointed about it, describing a layoff as happening due to "unprecedented times" should be as much of a red flag as describing a company as a "family." It's the kind of obvious and out of touch boilerplate that shows you really don't care about how people are affected.

010

Chad Armstrong @chadarmstrong.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I think, as an industry, we're past due describing our times as "precedented." I wish nothing but the best to my fellow Bungie alumni that are affected today. What an awful, unfortunate, and ill-advised waste of a gathering of such incredible talent.

Absolute insanity. Your team has created nothing but bangers. Y'all deserve much better than this.

It just occurred to me that "We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we enjoyed making it" could be well meaning or a cold blooded curse in the right circumstances.

Right up there with the “list of reasons why you shouldn’t buy <product>” posts that are just “<product> is just TOO good” in my least favorite ad trends.

My beginner-level Korean is making me crack up at the new Modern Warfare logo. 사 is the hangeul for 4, yeah, but it's also a very casual way to direct someone to buy something. And "Modern Warfare: Buy It" is just so on the nose.

In Marathon last night, got into a team fight where a player on the other team used prox chat with an impressive Trump impression to demand an end to hostilities, a ceasefire, etc. He never actually stopped shooting at us, mind, just demanded a ceasefire. 10/10, no notes. (We won the fight, btw)

Was rewatching the Marathon runner shell trailers and realized that Recon is dead or dies in each of them. Recon's own trailer hasn't come out, yet. I wonder if she'll survive it. 🤔

Funny you mention. In my Korean class last night my teacher asked me to name something about Seoul that's better than LA. "Public Transportation" was the easy, obvious, and instant answer.

Chad Armstrong @chadarmstrong.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Something you get used to seeing when you live in LA is seeing places get used for films. Anyway, looks like the FlyAway bus terminal in Van Nuys might cameo as the entrance to Central City Airport in something DC related?

Love when I get e-mails desperate for reviews of some mundane product I've bought that start with something like "Chad, there's still time!" Like the Childlike Empress needs me to give an HDMI cable 5 stars to save Fantasia.
