counterstrike boxes bear the lion's share of blame for an entire generation's spiral into gambling addiction IMO. and i say this as a certified dota 2 whale (no really).

movie is not good but I have a weird attachment to it because I read my grandfather's copy (still have it) and saw the movie day one in fourth grade, so I'm gonna cop this. This probably explains a lot about me

Been spinning the Marathon OST preview all week, I'm obsessed youtu.be/abK4Mu_k6qI?...

The Marathon faction profiling clocked me so hard

the video game industry is a mess

We found a few more families in the Orlando area this week affected by ICE that need help with groceries. We delivered food to two of them today but there are three that still need help. If you're able to help, you can send & via Venmo/PayPal (@kfoleyfl) or at least repost this to help share 1/2

Join audio director Chase Combs and composer Ryan Lott for a behind-the-scenes look at Marathon’s music. Four original tracks are now available for streaming on all major music streaming platforms. youtu.be/uk4K91aeixU

Oh yeah, we got letterhead and redactions in this thing now

Delays usually feel bad but weirdly for Destiny it's consistently been a good thing followed by great content so it's fine, I'll wait

Wrote about what I've been playing.

Can't wait for this

Did a podcast for the first time in years with my buddy @cynicalceezy.bsky.social and it's available NOW! We had a great time talking about everything from Riki-oh to Dread Delusion to the Revenge of the Sith novelization to Destiny 2, and I'm super excited to do more in the future

Here is the YouTube version. I think I got better at editing together different clips.

On this week's episode of The Checkpoint, I am joined by my good friend @questlog.bsky.social. The two of us have a great discussion about books, games and so much more. Listen here: rss.com/podcasts/the...

Pay attention: to read a post, simply drag your eyes across the letters, and form the words in your mind. Try it now. Great job! You should be able to read posts now. Come back any time you need a refresher on reading posts!

It's too late I have already depicted you as the seething Satan and myself as the pious monk

Read a book or play Doom, I don't give a shit what feelings you think a spreadsheet has

I’m sure a certain subset of online shitheads is ecstatic right now, but what happened to highguard — and the many people who worked on it — is tragic. we can’t keep making games like this. a more sustainable approach is literally the only way forward

if your multiplayer game has a peak of like 100k players its fucked. its dead. give up now. if it has a peak of 100 players and isnt out of early access and most of the updates are from a community mod because no one knows what the devs are doing: it will live forever

You get one hourly paycheck's pay period to see if a game is successful. How is that sustainable? How does that math work for anyone? This is gambling shit, not successful running of a business.

Finding out that there was a fungal zombie enemy planned for Marathon and immediately theorycrafting about the Flood and the Veil and potential for Marathon 2026/future Destiny

well we had a good run

6% chance.
