So a lot of people are wondering what I'm doing and where I've been. I wanna first start off by letting everyone know, no, I'm not done with content. THIS A BIG POST

I did content for 15-ish years. That's almost half of my entire life at this point. I genuinely needed to slow down, get other things done, and do all the "life stuff" I was neglecting.

This includes things like getting a degree, sorting out family illnesses and loss, and genuinely trying to further myself IRL. I've also gotten involved in some pretty substantial projects with businesses that I cannot talk about due to NDA's and other things.

As much as content creation is awesome and fun; it's not something that, to me, could carry me through the rest of my life.

It's unrealistic to assume that I'd be "comfortable" at 40-50 years old money/life wise if that's all I did.

I'm coming back to streaming but there's gonna be a few big changes to my branding/vibe/etc. Same Del, different look. It's gonna happen this year.

The entire focus is gonna be around friends, community, and enjoying myself. It's gonna be 99% positive vibes. There will be no more game reviews, negativity, or bad junk.

I apologize if I haven't reached out to all my content creator friends and people who support me! It's really difficult to keep track and the world's kinda been crazy the last two years. I've been keeping my head down and preparing.

I've genuinely done like 5-6 years of work, prep, and college in <2, so I've been SLAMMED. It's definitely hurt my social life and visibility but that's okay! It needed to be done.

I know a lot of you are excited to get back to hanging out, vibing, playing, gaming, and watching; and I am too!

It's just gonna take a little bit longer but I promise it'll be worth it. I'm doing everything in the most responsible, well structured, and safest way I can. Gotta make sure my future is locked in before I can focus on content once more.

Feel free to always DM me/poke me/message me on Discord/Twitter/Bsky - Always happy to chat!

Genuinely thankful for all of you who still check in and are waiting. Ya'll are the best.

@DuneAwakening Are you going to be focusing on balancing and major changes to the core combat systems now?

Making abilities scale with overland stations, fixing weapons that are pointless (flamethrowers, pls), etc?

Would love to see a rethinking of the skill systems. So many things are dead

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

@Dave_Inci They went after him in california lol then went after him in mexico

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

The fact that someone had to flee the country from corrupt law enforcement because a company connected to a religious entity stole $200,000 USD worth of Legos from a dying man really says a lot about the state of the US right now, lol

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

Also, because this is 2026, I have to add

yeah no shit don't do stuff like this

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

I got like 4000 death threats and like the most vile shit thrown at me when I was doing Youtube

You know what I didn't do? generalize millions of people as all being awful

chill the fuck out bro, bad apples exist everywhere it doesn't reflect on *everyone*

[Matt @myelingames]

This is the destiny community btw. This is the violence incited by Destiny creators. Someone is going to get hurt.

And this is because I privated videos on my personal channel, videos I made. And said that i like Marathon.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

Part of me is excited but the other part of me is like "uuuuugh" when I look at the tiered gear grind in Destiny 2

I haven't played frequently since Final Shape. I really hate the concept of tiered gear. Never liked it in any game when it's same gear +1

Hopefully they make it WAY easier than it was last time I popped in. I saw the mountain of pointless numbers and was like naaaaaaaah

Excited to see everyone back however

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

The silly Bungie civil war stuff is pretty wild

TO BE FAIR: getting loud enough and disapproving makes companies 180 all the time. Sony has caved before.

I'm on #TeamAztecross - Sure there's only a small chance but it's bigger than nothing if we do/say nothing about it.

This is about the loss of a third space and something that so many peoples' lives were shaped around.

Both sides have the right to be upset but there's a clear difference in volume on one side due to sheer numbers

If it really does come down to one or the other, Destiny for me all day every day. Seeing everything that was blocked because of awful leadership (WHO HAVE LEFT) has only made me want it to stay around more.

Entire chunks of expansions cut because of petty reasons/no reason. Seemed spite driven.

This update coming out proves they got it still

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

Yeah there's some major disconnects internally it feels like with how to progress forward with the game.

There's so many issues, bugs, etc I would love to sit down and talk to them about that'd double the player count if they fixed them.

It seems like they internally *do not* know where to go with mechanics, systems, etc since PvP was so negatively responded to.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

It's finally done. The hell I put myself through with @DuneAwakening to get 100 combat 100 crafting is finally over.

Only logged in to do dailies and a coupla dungeons a week. Didn't miss a single rollover.

Not sure it was worth it. I have strong opinions.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

If anyone's wondering, yes, it doubles durability of all vehicles.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

@cinnamontoastk They literally proved they could remove bots already. They did this end of 2024.

So many big streamers took a week long break because they didn't wanna be exposed. Some lost 20k+

They proved they can ban the bots. It NUKED their statistics and numbers. 100% excuses

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

@PaulTassi Honestly based. Nothing says you have to be civil when something you love is being taken away from you for genuinely dumb reasons. Dude's just backing what he's passionate about. I refunded Marathon. I get it.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

"Hey guys yeah ignore the entire directory or like, any of the ways we show channels in game lists and stuff. Only discover!!!"

Make embedding only available with licenses & agreements. Holy crap man, Twitch proved they can purge bots and delete accounts like crazy when they did the purge a year or so back.

Big streamers lost like 20k viewers. IT WORKED

Sucks you lost like 50% of your total viewer base from start to finish and stopped enforcing it but quit with this "OH WE CARE" shit when you clearly have a solution you're not wanting to do.

Wish they'd be honest and just admit they don't actually give a shit or they'd keep doing what they PROVED THEY CAN DO ALREADY

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy says viewbotters aren't helping streamers get real viewers, saying it has a small impact on 'discover'

“If you’re using recommended [sorting], you’re not being influenced by viewbots, and it doesn’t help promote the channel”

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

@IsaacSant133 Oh we definitely do.

Sony wont support both. They're ending Destiny 2, but the community clearly hates that, so they're trying to force them to pick the one we want.

There's clearly not enough for both.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

I really stand by a lot of the bigger content creators telling people who are like "but marathon is getting a pve mode" to fuck off

The community will support Marathon WAY LESS because of the Destiny stuff going forward. I will never play it again. Ever. Period. Nope.

They're literally trying to hamfist PVE stuff into Marathon because they realized that's what people like... INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING THE THING THAT PEOPLE LIKED TO BEGIN WITH

DUUUUUUUUUMB

🚨NEW: Marathon voice director says he understands why Destiny 2 fans are upset about Bungie shifting focus to Marathon, but says players can "speak with your wallet" instead of rooting for the game to fail - https://t.co/vMf61LVxEx

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

100% this

[Dusty @Dusty23XI]

Cannot believe @Aztecross went here but man…Destiny has an incredible community willing to fight. Guardians really do make their own fate. #WeWantDestiny3

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

@IsaacSant133 If we have to pick one or the other then I don't pick Marathon.

We'll see what player counts and engagement says. You'd do the same for something you enjoyed.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

Content creators are very loud and obnoxious, yes, I am/was one of them.

However those same people keep games alive, things relevant, showcase stuff a game's doing, and drive insane sales.

Sales are huge with content creators pushing things. Yeah they're loud but like a game makes billions more if it's really good and people talk about it.

There's definitely destructive content creators but I think a bunch are a positive force. I may not agree with them 100% all the time but still.

People typically only go rabid dog mode when someone's really bad, awful, and want it fixed. Sometimes that opinion sucks ass and they're like a loud minority but a lot of the time it's good and serves a benefit.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

I don't think people genuinely realize how bad/fucked up the game dev space is for developers. In almost all cases major messups are publishers/marketing/legal decisions disconnected.

Massive profits and success? MASS LAYOFFS. YOU GET FIRED DOIN' WELL.

Loss? Massive loss? MASS LAYOFFS. FIRED FOR BAD.

They're fucked (in most companies) regardless of what happens.

It's so evil and awful and genuinely mind blowing as far as what's tolerated and just accepted as "normal" in this industry.

In a lot of other industries/countries this stuff is highly regarded as, you know, illegal and morally backwards.

[Delrith @CtrlAltDelrith]

Ouuuuuuugh I'm genuinely so bummed out about all of this.

This just hits so hard. Destiny1/2 shaped all of my gaming career

🚨Former Destiny 2 senior narrative designer Robert Brookes says a proper Xivu Arath campaign and raid were pitched multiple times for Destiny 2:
