I almost made a cynical joke the other day that he was going to put it on pay-per-view, maybe paired up with a UFC event. I’d bet you $20 that he talks about the “ratings” for the execution, but that’s a sucker’s bet.

I was asked last night what I thought the appeal of the movie PRIMETIME was. This better articulates my depressing answer. We stopped having public executions in 1936 because we're ostensibly civilized. If you think they should be brought back, I don't want to know you.

Hey... remember that time the country lost its collective mind when two buildings got hit by planes? Guess we shouldn't have. It really was no big deal. A small price to pay for... uh... something. Freedom, I guess? Funding and arming a proxy war against the Soviets in the 1980's?

Rolled credits on CONTROL Resonant last night. 9.5/10, definitely my GOTY. I can’t wait for the next chapter in the story.

I have a fail proof way to remember my password. All I have to do is say "What is my password?" out loud. BAM instantly know what it is. I don't know why this works, but it always does.

Bold to put out a single player remake to bring people into the series when you then hand off development to a brand known for cranking out multiplayer games whose idea of a "campaign" is a series of monster closets that you walk between and wholly forgettable stories that are tacked on for "value."

Kestrel @kestrel.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
And don't get me started on Campaign Evolved. We ALREADY had Master Chief Collection and it was good. Did we really need ANOTHER remake/remaster with ZERO PvP multiplayer? If it wasn't "free" on Game Pass, I would have never have even looked at it and I certainly did not get GP for that.

Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach were great. Halo Wars 1 & 2 and Fireteam: Raven were interesting and fun ways to expand the universe in gameplay and genre. I'm even one of the rare people who though Infinite was a really good entry in the series. But everything else video game wise? WOOF.

Kestrel @kestrel.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I mean, I like Halo, I used to like Call of Duty (at least OG Modern Warfare 1 & 2), but let's face it, it's way past its heyday and this is a further slide into irrelevance. Saying "we're handing this over to Activision" does not inspire any hope that Halo is going to get the attention it needs.

Hey, cool, Halo is evolving from mildly iterative, tepid rehashes to repetitive, jingoistic, micro-transaction driven bullshit.

If the tariffs were ruled illegal by the Supreme Court and FedEx has already gotten $800 million in "refunds" from the US kleptocracy, why did they just ask me to pay $5 in tariff fees plus a $17 "processing fee" for a package I received last month? 🤔

To prep for Control Resonant, I’m taking another stab at playing through Alan Wake. Not my favorite style of game, but the world is interesting, plus the ties to Control and the FBC. Honestly, I’m mostly just playing for more episodes of Night Springs.

My wife is playing through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (yeeeeeee!) and it is making me want to play through it again real bad. Also, I keep getting the itch to revisit Starfield. And Cyberpunk 2077. I think I can only handle one 80+ hour game at a time though.

No, I will not give you $99 a year to read a story shoved at me via an ad that I was barely interested in. It's free if I just make an account and give you all my information? Yeah, no thanks, it'll take me more time to set up an account than skim the article. Also, I will never come here again.
