the basic gist of that First Strike story, because some folks expressed interest; mid-late 2023, I tried establishing the project in cooperation with a now defunct modding group. in that time I had my creative capabilities, mental health and overall willpower grinded into near-total nothingness.

I have a lot of feelings about today's news (re: D2), and while I'm glad that it's being supported again, some of the folks (I say some, but I mean a lot of people) who made this possible have no real understanding of how tech debt, crunch, online harassment and bullying can affect a life;

I would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights

I blocked someone who quoted and went ONLY 17 HOURS FOR THE PRICE OF A NEW GAME? The way people value games is absolutely unhinged. A movie ticket costs like 20-25 bucks nowadays, its 2 hours long. You're paying 20 a month for a streaming service you watch 3 shows on. 17 hours is A LOT OF TIME

Keighley's disinterest in excluding AI trailers really devalues the whole thing. These events are rarely to my taste, but the experience of watching "ONL" was one of watching slop. Even non-AI games are tainted by the association — we have to second-guess, every time.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

and just to clarify, I have a lot of respect for Marcus, Joe and anybody on the OG teams who didn't turn out to be an insane right wing maniac nutjob but it would not fix the IP if you brought them back to helm it. fatigue requires rest, not further aggravation under the guise of reinvigoration

I get that everyone's somehow still upset about the direction Halo has headed over the past 16 years but I'm tired of hearing folks suggest what direction it should take, what it should annihilate from canon, who should helm it. just give the damn thing a break and put it on ice for once in its life

had the opportunity to play Campaign Evolved over the weekend; For the most part, it was generally ok! Not a sprint hater but it doesn't really work here, everything is paced for slower movement. ADS on non-precision weapons (something that's been a feature since Halo 5) isn't something I vibe with

I've read so many "hot takes" about accessibility in my ten-year career; this, though, takes the absolute cake. No, accessibility is not responsible for closing studios, wasting millions, or causing layoffs. Don't be like this guy.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Richard Boisvert a Principal Technical Cinematic Artist who said: It's an unbelievable thing to see that menu narration is enabled by default in the new Halo game, a feature that caters to blind people. What Halo Studios / 343 is essentially saying is this:

"We need this option on by default because a blind person is incapable of navigating the menu to find and enable it. However, once enabled, they can play the game just fine."

This is the end-state of the inclusive and accessibility mafia. They cater so hard to the edge-case, that they actually make unreasonable defaults to the majority. Why don't they also enable the colorblind filters too? What's the difference?

It doesn't matter that you can "just turn it off" or that it's "no big deal". The fact that they went with that as the DEFAULT is insanity. It shows how warped the frame-of-mind and worldview is of these people. This shows, by proxy, the beurocratic bloat of AAA.

These are the kinds of decisions and infrastructures that kill companies, waste millions, cause layoffs, and I am sick of seeing it. We are not in a gaming crash because of "greed", we are in a crash because of stupid shit like this.
