Wrote about Marathon! And AI! And capitalist dehumanization!

In a conversation with some people who want to hold up Marathon like it’s another Halo and Destiny in terms of quality. And honestly, they may be right.

Exact budgets of video-game productions can be tough to corroborate (more transparency from publishers would be nice!) but the numbers I've heard floating around AAA game dev these days are $300 million or more — sometimes much more! — which I think helps explain the current state of the industry

Unfortunately I was one of the 1000 folks let go of by Epic Games this morning. As always I stand in solidarity with the workers and hope we all can land on our feet. Remember, this is not a reflection on you, your work, or your value as a person. Reach out if you want to chat or have job for me!

Most alt-history fiction is like “What if the worst people of their time succeeded?” For All Mankind basically asks “What if the USA was even a slightly serious country?”

I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

“In a single run” missions are easy in Marathon…when your teammates are a couple of Arachne runners and y’all wipeout every living runner prior to doing your mission.

I’ve been playing two games lately

Can someone just carry me through these gd single run missions in Marathon? I’m tired of getting popped 30 seconds to a minute into spawning.

At some point all these AI shills in creative industries will realize they've made a very expensive mistake and hopefully they'll either throw themselves out of a skyscraper or get their checkbook out to fund a human-made project as soon as possible.

If you're an Epic Games employee who would like to confidentially share your views about the layoffs, please do reach out. I would be very interested to hear how you feel this is being handled and communicated by company leadership. My DMs are open. Signal QR is pinned. Email in bio.

Ngl, Thief successfully taking from Recon and proving she’s the better shell seems like an unintentional commentary on the state of Recon. 🙃

I didn’t get the job.

My wife high-fived me when we realized who the biggest loser was.

Hey we’re recording a new episode tomorrow which means it’s time to write in with your problems. We love to give really good advice. tinyurl.com/279vuzrn

For as long as I’ll live I’ll never forget that two of my favorite members of kpop group 4Minute had a duo album with a country song on it.

Recon Makes Me Lose MARATHON

There are a bunch, but when you get to the top of Mt. Silver in Pokémon Gold & Silver there’s an all-timer if you had previously played through Pokémon Red & Blue.

it's being reported that Crunchyroll had a data breach • The breach happened on March 12th, 2026 & the threat actor was able to pull 100gb of personal identifiable data (IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and more.) As of reporting, CR hasn't publicly disclosed the breach

This is an incredible headline LMAO

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

ICE in: Atlanta (ATL) Chicago (ORD) Cleveland (CLE) Houston (HOU) Ft. Myers (RSW) New Orleans (MSY) New York (JFK) New York-LaGuardia (LGA) Newark (EWR) Philadelphia (PHL) Phoenix (PHX) Pittsburgh (PIT) San Juan, PR (SJU) via CNN

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

Read a fun Marathon story about a solo runner who tries to keep the peace, but in this story they ran across an Arachne squad. There was no peace to be had. I’m currently a MIDA runner (not just because they make my favorite guns in Destiny). Marathon Runners, which factions do you rep currently?

No worse feeling in Marathon than having a single run contract that requires 3 steps and you get popped 30 seconds from spawn by a whole squad of runners and like 4 UESC.

An excuse for those who come after.

Minding my own business after finishing my objective that no one wanted to help me out with, and then suddenly…

And?

My turn!

Overnight: The Trump administration is making a renewed push to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, telling a judge they've sorted out logistics to send him to Liberia (and rejected his proposal to go to Costa Rica) assets.bwbx.io/documents/us...

Tank Girl is…a movie. There are very few people I could confidently suggest this movie to, but I liked it. Lori Petty is to Tank Girl what RDJ is to Iron Man, or Reynolds is to Deadpool, or Robbie is to Harley Quinn. It’s also REALLY obvious in 2026 just how much pop culture she influenced.

Plus one old watch I forgot to review (Weapons) #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday 🟠🟢🔵 letterboxd.com/nattieboop

Watching my wife (and longtime Bungie fan) @grizzlei.bsky.social drop into Marathon for the first time! ☺️ This game has come a long way since the first closed test.

Ian Alexander is LITERALLY A TV SHOW ACTOR! What the fuuuuuuuuuuuck?!

Bad: Crimson Desert has genAI bullshit in the game. Worse: Crimson Desert has antisemitic genAI bullshit in the game.

Chuck Norris will always be known by me for two things. Being a massive piece of shit, and his character in “The Way of the Dragon”/“Return of the Dragon” getting brutalized and then killed by Bruce Lee’s character.

re: chuck norris

A fitting representation of the destruction of art by tech watching DLSS 5 replace intentional warm lighting and shadows with cold lighting and the least shadows as possible.

After a month of sitting with the ending of Life is Strange: Double Exposure I want to talk about the thing this game successfully lays out for those of us who (SPOILERS FOR LiS1) chose Chloe: Max and Chloe deserve to live happily ever after…apart.

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

the mistake I think some make is that many want to advocate for games as a positive and worthwhile force and while I think the medium is wonderful and unlike anything else, the culture and industry surrounding it is overwhelmingly a net negative in the world and one must be honest about that
