I think this might be the funniest possible way that Bungie could get caught plagiarizing stuff.

I don't know if cathartic is the right word, but watching/listening to Jeff and Dan talkin' shop together for a couple hours just feels right.

I mentioned Ben Starr on my stream yesterday and this lowres picture YouTube autofilled into the description is killing me. He looks like I just grabbed him off the street. Poor guy he's trying to get home

Hahah my mentions are full about Marathon. I really appreciate that folks think of me when they see it. Sorry everyone, I'm not in it. What I will say is, the Marathon games are all free via excellent ports that are even on Steam now.

Insanely yours,

But now, we're all dunking this as another attempt at utilising AI slop and I too am not sure if it's slop or not.

We live in dire times.
