bittersweet to read that bungie is ending development of destiny 2. i've spent hundreds of hours in that world across the first and second games, and i'll always have an enormous soft spot for it :,]

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

Happy launch anniversary to Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire 😍 Most fun I've had on a project so far. There's a ship forever sailing in my heart crewed by Tekēhu, Maia, Fassina, Bekarna, Concelhaut, Onekaza, Arkemyr, Tayn, Waidwen, Nemnok, Worthless Idiot, and a million other weirdos.
