Grats to my friends @bungie.net on Marathon’s launch!

This feels like a question someone would’ve asked Tony Hawk, completely unaware.

opens for* Damn you, lack of edit button.

"Jungian Shadow" sounds like a name for a band that opens before "Attack and Dethrone God"

Next time Google “How to Dissolve Your Dragon” BEFORE using a tub!

Funny you mention. In my Korean class last night my teacher asked me to name something about Seoul that's better than LA.

"Public Transportation" was the easy, obvious, and instant answer.

A poster in a window that reads “Oh, the memories you’ll make,” “Make memories happen here” and “welcome to Central City” with a Central City logo and some stock city images.

A poster on glass that reads “Welcome to Central City AirPort” with airport shuttle instructions. This photo was taken at a airport bus station in Van Nuys, California.

A poster on glass that reads “DREAM BIG when you fly Gotham Air” with stock image of a woman on a canoe in what might be the Philippines

Something you get used to seeing when you live in LA is seeing places get used for films.

Anyway, looks like the FlyAway bus terminal in Van Nuys might cameo as the entrance to Central City Airport in something DC related?

Love when I get e-mails desperate for reviews of some mundane product I've bought that start with something like "Chad, there's still time!" Like the Childlike Empress needs me to give an HDMI cable 5 stars to save Fantasia.

It’s a bot reply for accounts that repost other people’s content. Basically a content farm account asking please because it detected a tag or keyword in your post.

Fucking hell.

My condolences to his family.

Rest counts as "something useful!"

Need y’all to slow down and appreciate the vibes of this cat I saw sunbathing in Gyochon

Safe to assume that the Venn diagram of people who are eating the propaganda up and the people who say games "shouldn't be political" is a single perfect circle.

Can’t help but remember Kutaragi comparing the PS3 pricing to getting dinner at a nice restaurant…

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

That's a helluva list of great games that can GET IN LINE

WTF GO PLAY DREDGE

Hot damn, "You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line" is the kind of articulation I wish I was capable of.

Social media peaked at “stuff a message into a bottle and throw it in the ocean.”

I’ve become the meme video of the middle aged guy jumping down a flight of stairs, then cut to an ambulance. 🙃

Update on this: two fractures! Yaaaaaay. 😑

@alexabkim.bsky.social to me: “Chad I’m gonna need you to stop 40’ing so hard.”

Me: “I’m gonna 40’s ✨even harder✨ now.

(My dumb 43 year old ass just rolled my ankle so hard there was a popping noise)

I'd argue Halo's control scheme and input handling changed the course of console FPS's, but I suppose that's not what people typically mean when they say 'influential.'

Yeah he is 100% right.

I think it was Del Walker that rightly said that AI art makes brands look cheap.

Always good to see women capably climbing the corporate ladder.

I don't think anyone wants to tear Team Cherry down, here. No one worth listening to, anyway.

The bigger concern is the potential for misperception. How will media/consumers/investors/etc perceive OTHER games once they're convinced "only" 3 people made a game that a hundred people made?

Peter, nobody's really talking about Team Cherry's fulltime headcount, though. The discourse was brought on by the media portraying the game as having been made strictly by those three developers "with support from a few contractors."

THAT is inherently inaccurate, given the size of the credits.

I guess @chadarmstrong.bsky.social keeps up with this app and has told you we go camping a lot, and have rats again. In fact, here's Neeps on my desk right now.

I hope everyone is taking care of themselves, hydrated and staying cool.
