Found this clip on my phone, and I’m sorry, but I think Ben Starr and Bungie have absolutely nailed Durandal’s characterization in this game holy

I love a bad screen, but only when it’s a bad screen of the good kind

The game on the second screen is Marathon (2026)

I feel like he realized where the wind is blowing, so he did a 180 on his tone. He was also writing articles how marathon has to fail no matter what in the summer

I know an FPS that’s currently in development that’ll be a little bit spicier than that… 😈🤫

I think this point is probably best illustrated by the new terminal designs, which fit the current art style very nicely while also being faithful to the visuals of the OG games

The article says that it’s only the immigrant visas that got the suspension

Screenshot of the article’s text, saying: “FIRST ON FOX: The State Department is pausing immigrant visa processing for 75 countries in an effort to crack down on applicants deemed likely to become a public charge.”

It was a really nice edition too! But I’ve promised myself I’ll find an even better one when I get a chance

Just found out about twitter’s latest AI feature… Tbh I still have no idea how anyone can justify staying on that platform at this point

A meme, where Toby Maguire from Spider Man first looks at new twitter’s button without glasses and it says “edit image” (a new feature on twitter where anyone can edit image someone else has posted using AI), and in the next panels he puts on the glasses, which allows him to see that the button actually says “fuck artists”

I think there have been a few spec-ops-likes that tried to shame players for playing them the fun way (killing everyone), but I don’t think that this kind of approach works. Not only it contradicts the gameplay, it often feels shallow, and kinda gives off the vibe of this picture

Post the last four games you played.

This’s one of the comments under Alex O’Keefe’s instagram post. The “calling out” “that’s common in other countries” lmfaooo

The comment says:
OK at the risk of getting jumped on by everyone here - it could have something to do with the lady's age. If he had his feet anywhere near the aisle or on another seat near him or in front of him, she could have felt obligated to call him out-many elderly people see making such verbal corrections as their duty. Calling the police however, was over the top. This "calling out" is very common in other countries when elders see young people not following rules that they feel are standard common courtesy or that violate safety measures. Certainly not justifying what happened to him.

I’ve been experimenting with continue systems in my secret game projects, and here’s what I’ve arrived at: continues need to be earned ZeroRanger style( gonna call it that even though devs said they got the idea somewhere else), and continue sends player to the start of the stage section

Rubbing hands emoji that indicates that I think I might be cooking with this idk
