After six amazing years I can reveal that I'll be leaving @runwithzrx.bsky.social at the end of April due to a major restructure. I'm so proud of the work we've done on Zombies, Run! over the years, and on Marvel Move with the support of @agentm.bsky.social

#Destiny2Art #Crow #Cayde6 #Felwinter #sketch #ScintHArt

Destiny 2 fanart sketch on lined notebook paper with the characters Crow, Cayde-6, and Iron Lord Felwinter. They stand as a back-to-back trio in an otherwise unseen fight, implied that they're surrounded. Crow stands in the center, facing the POV, his gun drawn and aimed skyward while he's checking Felwinter with a smile. Crow's right leg is propped up on an undefined pile of rubble. Felwinter stands to Crow's left in a trench coat, wielding a basic shotgun in firing position. His form is in full action with his robes and coat ends flailing up and forward. Cayde-6 stands to Crow's right, his stance braced in the rubble for firing his gun, which is pointed off-screen. His cape billows forward around him.

"I was part of the fireteam that ascended the Monolith and faced the Witness to save the universe. Since then I have discovered that in my first life I was... tech support at university. Not even one of the prestigious ones."

Do you ever think that there's a decent chance that at least one Warlord during the dark age was like... an accountant in their first life?

This is the mighty Warlord Alan Smith-4. In his first life he was a marketing executive for a company that made yogurt.

Because it's a publically owned company, it's very accountable to the government so it's actually a legal document unfortunately.

Damp little cowards so painfully aware of their worthlessness they can’t even accept a video game where they’re the villains.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

yeah, you do get crads for specifically *dependent* children, but if you don't have a partner but have an adult kid it would be good to be able to give the +1 card to them!

It is a frustrating thing as someone with zero interest in having A Relationship seeing how romantic partnerships as given special treatment. For example, at new job, you can get a free rail travel card for a romantic partner, but not for anyone else.

Why is that relationship prioritised and

for six months. Honestly, I'd rather just have one campaign a year and have episodes back. Like hey, do two long episodes a year which get to really dig into a storyline with more depth!

Disciple of Telesto @zaliachimera.bsky.social · 2d

We're not getting seasonal/episode content anymore, it would have been good to at least get a full-size exotic mission. While we are getting another expansion, it still feels like we're getting shafted hard on content.

A campaign on its own is just not enough story and activity content to last

Disciple of Telesto @zaliachimera.bsky.social · 2d

Actually that's another thing, while the exotic mission was fun, it very much felt more like the kind of story mission we'd get during a season, rather than an exotic mission on its own. Like it is nowhere near the scope of Starcrossed or Encore or even Kell's Fall.

Which again, kinda sucks...

how story is presented because the way things are now, the 'major updates' *suck*. I play for the story and the characters primarily, so six months where my favourite thing about the game is just non-existent is... it's rough.

that every single bit of lore we've had in Ash & Iron, including on the exotic weapon which is a relic of the Iron Lords, has been about setting up Renegades and nothing to do with the Plaguelands or Ash & Iron, is actually making me less excited for Renegades.

Like, it is making me pre-emptively

Disciple of Telesto @zaliachimera.bsky.social · 2d

Okay, new Destiny exotic mission! It is fun, the aesthetic is very cool and I generally enjoyed it!

But it doesn't make up for the complete lack of story we've got with Ash & Iron and that is still disappointing.

And I'm not gonna lie, the fact
