in our game you parkour up mountains with your friends: you might think we have metrics.
but we never graybox. it's just more fun to download models and prototype in real places, like blood gulch.

It's been 5 years since a group of alt-right revolutionaries attempted a violent coup on the United States government at the behest of Donald Trump.
A year ago I attended a gamified version of that terrible day for @rascal.news. Its terrifying to see how much has changed and how much hasn't.

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be resuming my daily news writer role at Insider Gaming.
So, needless to say, I am open for game journalism work. If you’re looking for a reviewer, previewer, news and/or guide writer, as well as mock reviews, please reach out. Thank you.

we need to bring back playing shooters with the homies after work. we need to bring back hosting a 24/7 CTF server for 12 people. we need to bring back literally any kind of middle ground between "nothing" and "Fortnite"
anyway play STRAFTAT.

i think a lot about knockout city, which was a really good multiplayer game that also died because it had no business having a fucking battlepass. its a silly dodgeball game. that's a host servers on friday type game. why are you earning cosmetic XP. we've abandoned the old ways

Do you ever feel like you're drowning? Some days I feel pinned under the deafening torrent of wrathful selfishness endlessly pouring forth from all levels of power. Yet I feel elevated by Mamdani's gamble, that millions of us yearn for a vision of a kinder world; a bet proven, at least once, right.
