ICE agents are in a town a mile down the street from where I work. Last week a crew we had working a job in Chicago got snatched from a gas station fueling up to work for the day. This shit is real, it’s not just videos you see on your phones, it’s happening in our communities.

For someone like me with kids, by the time I even schedule free time to go and see a movie it’s just gonna be on streaming in like a week. (Also my friends and I say ‘commit sudoku’ as well🤣)

That and all these big companies going “all in” on live service, people only have so many hours and if they play those sorts of things are most likely already invested into one of the legacy ones. Your new one better have a good selling point.

🎶FFIX: Dali🎶

The music for the Village of Dali in Final Fantasy IX is absolutely beautiful on the surface, with some dark undertones underneath, perfectly telling the story of the place.
