Was building barricades on top of a FOB in Wardogs when an enemy climbed a ladder and killed me. We were talking in proximity chat and I told him all I had was a hammer, so he revived me. Few moments later I got sniped by one of his random teammates so he revived me again. Nice guy.
Played my first two rounds of Wardogs. Took 3.5 hours. Maybe the most fun I've had in a shooter in my life. I can't believe what they've built.
Hey, @stevedangle20.bsky.social. Was just watching the clip of Matthews getting 421, and when they empty the bench to swarm him I was struck by how many folks are gone. It's crazy.
This guy doesn't speak for Canadians. I'm not feeling wounded and I'm not confused. Most Canadians are itching for a fight right now. Our PM (who is not this turd) is being far more measured than most Canadians would be in his shoes.

If you want a good idea of how pumping your game full of generative AI will go over, have a look at the NHL 27 chatter this week.
I've been working night and day on our Stalker 2 map, adding in new stuff from Cost of Hope. Overall, I'd estimate that it will be another 100-200 hours and a full play through of the entire game to add new stuff and tidy up what is already there. But man, I love mapping in the Zone!

It may shock you to learn that I wrote about GTA 6 today. But as the guy who wants a game to give me 1,000+ hours of discovery, things are looking good.

1,000 days survived in The Long Dark is no joke. I learned a lot about my play style doing this. What a journey.
It's tough to describe what a fucking disaster it is to try and sell something on Facebook Marketplace.

Everything about STALKER 2 Update 2.0 and the Cost of Hope DLC sounds amazing. @bill-lavoy.ca has been showing me nonstop clips of random encounters and other weirdness in the game and I can't wait to go back.

i’m just ken@shepardcdr.bsky.social · last mo.lol so Restart, after laying off its entire editorial team, is now saying that it's going to be covering GTA6 and then trying to relaunch as a new project, claiming it will be reaching out to laid off staff about coming back, which it has, crucially, not said a word about to any of them.
No reason for posting this other than this scene being awesome.

I love that I took these photos in TLD and I can look at my wall in the game and see exactly where I've been. Remember my time in those regions. That's rad.

Nothing groundbreaking about the BF6 clip, just a good example of how even the simple moments can feel so cool.
The new Tsuru Reef map feels like going back and playing BF3 or BF4. This is the most fun I've had playing BF in a long time, and I tend to enjoy BF6 already.
