A thread 🧵 about implementing @JOYofthePEOPLE type PLAY-Based development to HOCKEY, where skating is not as close to an innate skill as running is:
1. Skating fluency is the most important SKILL players need to help them develop into a fluent HOCKEY PLAYER.
@BrendanCarrFCC It would be great if you go after unwanted political donation request texts, these seem to be exempt and are a large part of the issues.
@EricLDaugh I really would prefer they legislate vs having a trial then sending it to the Senate where it will lack the two thirds vote to convict and remove.
@GuntherEagleman You all know you need two thirds of the Senate to convict a judge, since that's never going to happen they aren't going to waste their time with a show trial.
TLDR: The cancel mob thinks they've won.
Earlier this year, I got a phone call from legendary Halo composer Marty O'Donnell to ask me if I thought I could get ahold of some old school Xboxes. Like... A LOT of them. Not knowing if I could, I went ahead and said yes.
Since then, we've been planning an epic Halo LAN party.
Couches? Dukes? OG Xboxes? Yes.
A guest list that includes OG Bungie Halo developers? Yes!
Mountain Dew Game Fuel? No. Apparently they don't make that any more.
We secured an amazing venue and had a great plan. The venue staff were all in and understood the vision. They geeked out on the call and asked Marty fan questions.
...until something changed very suddenly.
Somebody got in touch with the venue and they backed out on us over political affiliation and the fact that Marty is running for U.S. Congress in Nevada's 3rd district.
I've got to say, that story sounds a little too familiar to me. All we want to do is play games the way they are intended to be played and celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest games ever made on as close to original hardware as possible.
Look, I can't even vote for Marty. (I would if I could). I don't even live in his district. But I know that when this event happens (wherever it happens) it is going to be legendary.
If you want to help us out, share this tweet and the link below. If you want to be a part of a Halo LAN Party that will be heroic... (no Legendary!) then enter your info at the link below.
Finish the Fight!
I want to thank these guys and every other player that played for @Huntsmen this season. Unfortunately we can’t have two teams at EWC thus ending our season here. It was a season of ups and downs but that’s the game #BeTheHunter
@elonmusk So the better question is why was the sandbox connected in anyway to the ACTUAL internet. This could have easily been done on an enclosed loop with a datastore representing the internet. Wish I had all the details but this just seems like bad test bed design.
Andy Serkis has addressed criticism of the all-white cast in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, saying the movie won’t change its casting just to be “politically correct.”
Serkis said the team isn’t interested in casting people just to “tick boxes.”
Instead, they will choose actors based on what fits the story and Tolkien’s world, inspired by medieval Europe and Norse mythology.
