This 2001 FPS kicked off a mythical sci-fi saga that still gets talked about decades later, even if it’s not quite the draw it used to be. But what’s so special about the original Halo? Why do so many of us still care? Every couple years, I go back to remind myself:

Years ago, I had 50 limited-edition 11"x17" art prints made to raise money that we were desperately in need of at the time.
I sold 7.
I found the other 43 and put them on eBay because I desperately need to pay some more bills. :(
$50, ships internationally!

This is an excellently-written review, and maybe the first I've seen that considers both the base quality of the game AND its moral and artistic integrity, especially in the face of the studio's AI use.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Aw, man. Terrible. Hard to remember a time before Insider. It was a dream of mine to write something for the magazine at some point.
I loved Star Wars Insider for many years before I had the chance the write articles for it. And they are some of my favorites! Interviewing women who have voiced Leia over the years, fanzine creators, deep diving the Jedi Council. Sad news.

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE
This has consumed around 4 months of my life. We've rebuilt the business from the ground-up. New site, new backend, new customer experience, new platform, new everything.
we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.

i see a lot of people who defended democrats before this coming on strong now because their health care is doubling or their flights have been canceled. if genocide wasn't a line for you but suddenly a line appears when it affects *you* personally, you might want to do a little soul searching

Wednesday is approaching, bringing wind, rain, and bitter cold. We are in a torn tent, and my kids have no clothes. We urgently need $500 to save my kids before they die from the cold, as we lie exposed to the wind

So what I'm gathering is that Kylo can visit the afterlife and then return from it. So random lol
