Three more days, to end a wonderful year as a gold pass holder. 10 days in total (plus one at EP). Big recommend, it’s such an excellent park. #Liseberg

@destiny2team.bungie.net 83%* of guardians do not enjoy rift on disjunction.

* 9 had left by the end, including a few right at the start
* + I also did not enjoy it despite sticking it out

Can we not use this mode + map combo again for fun activities like Solstice please.
End of match screen. 3 players left in a match meant for 12.

Getting some MacBook ads with a selling point they don't usually highlight: "free macOS updates"

Anyone would think there's a fast approaching end-of-life date for Windows 10 (famously "The last version of Windows" *) and upgrades to 11 start at £120 RRP.

MacBook Ad. "A studdy buddy you can rely on. Mac is built to stand the test of time. With a durable aluminium enclosure and free macOS updates".

One of my favourite historic changes was when you noticed Arbalest was getting a lot of use for its Anti-Barrier & shield stripping capabilities. Instead of nerfing it, you added other anti-barrier options like Wish-Ender.

I wish you’d take that approach more.
Warlock - Speaker's Sight Turret's lifetime was reduced from 15s to 9s. Despite multiple other efficacy reductions, Speaker's Sight was still dominating the healing support role. To give room to other Exotics, and add variety in the Warlock support playstyle space, we've reduced the turret's lifetime to 9s from 15s. The result is a turret that fires two less shots over its lifetime.

Music follow-up!
3 tracks were released yesterday: music.apple.com/gb/album/cel...

Based on YouTube metadata for Stardust, it looks like a pre-2023 IMAScore project?

Xaver is one of the original IMAScore trio. Andreas Kübler was an original IMAScore trio member but left to form Audiogazer in 2023.
Performed by Celestial Park Universal Destinations & Experiences Written by Andreas Kübler Produced by Xaver Willebrand Music metadata provided by NBCUniversal

AtmosFear, Liseberg (300ft). But it’s surprisingly gentle. I think all the Intamin observation tower conversions might be quite gentle?

Bit cold at the top on a windy day though!

Speaking of @cursedsupports.bsky.social spin-offs, anyone else a fan of #ThemedFooters? 😍🎢
Cobra, PowerPark. Footers look like rock work. Valkyria, Liseberg. Footers look like a bundle of wooden logs. Storm Chaser, Paultons Park. Footers look like wooden boxes and gas station shelving. Taron, Phantasialand. Footer has carved woodwork effect.

👻 #GhostlyManor is another very high quality addition to #PaultonsPark, like a standalone version of the richly themed Lost Kingdom & Tornado Springs

* A massive thanks for the invitation to Superfans Day - for the ticket, hospitality and tours. This thread is my own words, unprompted

🏗️🚂 Construction on the Gothenburg West Link Project around Liseberg, as seen from the ferris wheel and Underland.

#Göteborg #Västlänken #Liseberg bransch.trafikverket.se/en/startpage...
Looking towards Korsvägen. A road and tram bridge extends over a vast cavern where railway platforms are being laid. Looking opposite, between the main stage and Rondo, a cavern is opened for tracks to be laid. A tunnel with tracks on the Underlandet dark ride. (This is the joke, it’s not really part of the West Link Project).
