I used to hang out and chill on Titan whenever I was bored. Suddenly Bungie removed pretty much every content I ever purchased for the game including the god damn moon Titan. All the campaigns for base game and three DLCs I paid for were just gone. To add insult to injury they level capped the pinnacle gun I got from doing a PVP mission. Clearly Bungie doesn't give a shit about money and time I spent on the game so I bailed. I uninstalled the game and moved on four years ago.

Here is a video explaining the current situation regarding US and NATO greenlighting the use of long range weapons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3cgxeFNdqI

The point of allowing Ukraine to use these weapons isn't for Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. It is to deter Russia setting up logistics just across Ukraine and Russian border because they feel safe. This forces Russia to move their logistics centers further inward stretching out the line. Another reason mention in the video is to strike the bridge in the Kerch strait connecting Crimea and Russia.

NATO could have made this decision in secret and allow Ukrane to launch a surprise attack deep into Russia but that's not what's happening. It seems like everyone including PM of Canada is essentially broadcasting this new potential capability instead of keeping it a secret because NATO wants it to be a form of deterrent. This is why this is relatively safe move and will not escalate into anything bigger like a full on nuclear war.

This is going to get someone killed. At this point I think they're actively trying to get someone killed for a news cycle that's not about how awful Trump is doing.

The cardboard cut out would actually do better than Trump. It wouldn't get baited into talking about crowd size and then babbling conspiracy theory about some migrant eating dogs and cats.

Her statement was impeccable. She mentioned the AI generated fake image which appeared three weeks ago. This is the response that had to be made by her. She signed it Childless Cat Lady. Perfect.

This is strategically dumbest move he can make. Taylor Swift has been relatively quite for a while now regarding politics and now either she or her publicist is basically forced to respond to this. My best guess is Trump is trying to stir the pot to get any kind of attention but this isn't it.

There is something extremely creepy about her tone of voice and body language. One second it feels like she is trying to convince you that she is genuine but she tries too hard which immediately make you think she is faking it. All of a sudden she sounds angry in a very serious way which makes me think she is a psychopath and she about to stab me in the neck with an ice pick. My immediate instinctive reaction is to stop the video. Last time I was this creeped out was watching Anthony Hopkins' performance in Silence of the Lamb. Of course that was just really good acting of a fictional character and this is a real life person which makes it even more disturbing.

I think Trump can wear a giant swastika necklace much like Flavor Flav and get on stage praising Hitler today and his numbers won't change. His MAGA crowd will likely like him even more if he did that. Discussing whether if Trump read Hitler's writings or not seems kinda pointless right now.

Yikes. That's a four horsemen of deplorables. What a horrible echo chamber of depravity.

Apple did remove Parler from the App Store in the past due to lack of moderation. It did not end well for Parler. I don't know how badly it has gotten over there on Twitter though. Is Twitter reaching the Parler level of toxicity yet?

PSA to everyone that has never played Destiny 2.

tldr; Epic is giving away Destiny 2: Legacy Collection. You'll have to give Bungie whole bunch more money if you really want to play. Don't give Bungie your hard earned money because Destiny 2 is now pay to win and they'll always try to screw you. Don't get sucked into this game and give this horrible company your money.

According to the article, Epic is giving away Destiny 2: Legacy Collection which contains The Witch Queen, Beyond Light, and Shadowkeep. If you've never played Destiny 2 and think this seems great because now you can start playing Destiny 2 for the first time. This isn't so. You'll still need to spend bunch of more money if you want access to seasonal content and they're really not an optional. Just when you thought you're done, you'll then have to buy the Dungeon content which isn't part of season pass. Oh by the way you can't just buy season pass with money. You have to purchase their premium currency and then buy season pass with that currency which means you'll always have a left over premium currency. This is definitely scammy and it's by design.

Destiny 2 is dystopian microtransaction hellscape. They've been adding layers of microtransactions for years and this is the result. If you want to see how bad it has gotten watch this video by Aztecross.

Any game developer that chalk this up as a big win and go back to business as usual as if nothing happened last week deserve to get rugpulled again in a year or two. Just the fact that Unity as a company is in a financially questionable state alone should be a blaring alarm to ditch the platform. Scumbags that tried to fleece game developers are still there collecting paychecks with zero consequences. Every Unity developers should have a plan in place to migrate away from the platform as soon as possible.
