I wonder if Xur's inventory this week is intentional?
If you read the flavor texts of the exotics and catalysts featured this week (minus Hawkmoon as it's always here), the message is something like:
"Our tools were shoddy, but we made it work (Arbalest). Now, have joy, and sing one last time (Riskrunner). Despite the treachery, the game still stood (Queenbreaker's); and, though we were limited despite having so many great ideas (Borealis), we have hope that the game will live again (Heir Apparent)."
With a little imagination, the legendaries can be read in a similar way (though there is more emphasis on the actual weapon names):
"This is the Nature of the Beast: A Deadpan Delivery when we were eager (flavor text on Seventh Seraph Saw) to keep pushing when the game was doing well. Farewell, we were Duty Bound to be the First in and the Last out. Now, take your place among the company of heroes (Berenger's Memory flavor text) as we face the Abyssal Edge."
Just the message for easier reading:
"Our tools were shoddy, but we made it work. Now, have joy, and sing one last time. Despite the treachery, the game still stood; and, though we were limited despite having so many great ideas, we have hope that the game will live again. This, though, is the Nature of the Beast: A Deadpan Delivery when we were eager to keep pushing when the game was doing well. Farewell, we were Duty Bound to be the First in and the Last out. Now, take your place among the company of heroes as we face the Abyssal Edge."
This is 100% schizoposting, but it was a fun project to take my mind off the impending doom for like 15 minutes.
What a wild ride it’s been. Though D2 lost me early on, I still play D1 regularly. The Destiny universe is a special place; messy, fascinating, brilliant, hilarious… meaningful. It will always be a part of my life & will forever live on in the hearts and memories of the players.

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.
While I was uploading these to the website today, I was just enamored with the pure GAS that the Devil May Cry 3 manual had.
Every page was a marvel to look at. We really did lose something along the way.
That's exactly why I want to preserve these with The Continue Project.
The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.
His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".
Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that said that it will do no evil.
Brilliant work as always Kojima!

tl;dr persona kyc and openai are frens, using your selfie for verification and sending to ICE (or USGOV in general), using AI to tie to your financial records. see subsequent post for full write-up. its long and not mobile friendly

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: You cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.
There is no organization called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path. There is no membership. Also there is no law in American to charge terrorism. Ask Luigi.
What he is doing is setting the stage to designate ANY American as a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

Now that trump has D.C. locked down and is getting set to send the military to cities he doesn't like. I'd like to point out that the 2nd amendment bros are nowhere to be found.
How many times? How many stupid arguments? Some chowderhead with his chest puffed out. "We need our guns in case the government gets tyrannical....shall not infringe... we the people... blah blah blah."
Cowards. The biggest group of hypocrite cowards. Gun companies selling these middle aged men a rambo fantasy that one day they'll have to save the country from a tyrannical government. They bought their camouflage outfits. All their gear, merchandise, 1776 stickers. They even got their own coffee line. Compensating for a small dick and shit personality.
But that's all it was. Marketing. To sell these ultimate dildos a fantasy. Because let's be real. The only time the 2nd amendment crowd speaks out is when a child gets shot in school and they think someone might try to pass a gun law. That's it.
everybody can do their part to demoralize ICE + the alphabet boys when they come to town
"if you find yourself in a position where you are asked to help ICE or the FBI or any of these militarized thugs, you have the option of doing the worst job you've ever done in your life."
