PlayStation and Xbox have been fiercely competing in the Bad News Olympics in 2026, and every time one side takes the lead, the other comes in with some very Bad News to recapture the momentum. It’s incredible to watch.

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

Today, in about 4 hours, Destiny 2 gets its last update. I think ending development on the game isn't the right choice. If you agree, the best way to show your voice is to show up and play some. This last update looks stellar and is a love letter from the devs. Let's show them some appreciation.

NEW: Bungie is planning a significant layoff following the end of Destiny 2's development. Destiny 3 is NOT in active production. Some Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas including Destiny games, but none are yet greenlit. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The premise is flawed — streaming isn’t convenient anymore. When it came out, it was. But the act of putting a DVD or CD in a player is way more convenient than wading through multiple services to find what you’re looking for, finding out it’s not included in your tier, and dealing with commercials.
