Destiny 2: Vesper's Host, Ian Melinn
When power's unknown consume the minds of the Fallen, what will it take for your guardian to fight back against the forces of darkness?
I worked on the initial Landing Zone, traversal into the first ...

Here's my final contribution to Destiny 2. I'm overjoyed that so many thought Vesper's Host was a fantastic Dungeon. We poured our hearts into it, like we always do. Shout out to the Raid and Dungeon team at Bungie. I love and miss you all!

Please call your representatives unless you want to give your ID to the government to use the internet.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.
If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.
Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.
Spread this pls.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Now that Grok has been converted into a Nazi AI, all of y’all still using it need to get the fuck off twitter. That, or let me know you don’t have a problem with it so I can block you.

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house.
It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

What happened last night and today was manufactured propaganda by the Trump admin to justify using the military against Americans. Let us be clear: the military should never police civilians without a request from the state. So much for the so-called party of states’ rights and law and order.
