Just cleared Pit of Heresy on my fourth attempt, solo & Flawless. That was an incredible experience. Whoever designed the Totem encounter, well played. My bow arm is dead @Bungie@A_dmg04. I’ll be repping that emblem for a long while.
Dear @asha_shar
My new video report provides all of the information you need to realize that Halo Studios’ leadership must change. This goes beyond bad behavior. Their leader completely mismanaged Halo Campaign Evolved, which is a reason why they canceled a multiplayer project. Leadership changes must happen to save XBOX’s most important franchise. As a sidenote, these problems were previously made aware to Microsoft HR and Legal but they chose to ignore them.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot larger than 1,500 square meters.
The law took effect in July 2023. Large lots over 10,000 square meters must be 50 percent covered by solar canopies by July 2026. Smaller lots have until 2028.
Exemptions exist for lots with genuine technical or environmental constraints, and for lots already shaded by trees.
France didn't just issue a mandate and walk away. The 2024 Finance Law introduced a Green Industry Tax Credit covering 25 to 40 percent of eligible solar investment costs.
Small businesses largely won't be impacted by the law. It more targets shopping centers, supermarkets, stadiums, and large commercial lots, not Le P'tit Bistrot.
Critics said businesses would just get rid of their parking lots. Carrefour, France's largest supermarket chain, is actually enthusiastically installing solar canopies across 350 stores, covering 180,000 parking spaces. It's expected to generate 450 gigawatt hours of power annually, enough to run the stores themselves, and it's using the canopies as a selling point - shaded parking makes stores more attractive to customers.
The projected energy output is expected to be up to 11 gigawatts, equivalent to roughly 10 nuclear reactors, without using a single additional acre of land.
The US has approximately 800 million parking spaces, most of them uncovered asphalt baking in direct sunlight. Should we do this too?
For context on the air conditioning debate between the US and Europe...one must consult the ancient texts:
1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.

Jason Schreier: "I can confirm that Obsidian is *not* in negotiations to avoid shutting down. Plenty of details are still up in the air surrounding the layoffs (picture will be clear on Monday) but Xbox is keeping Obsidian, according to people familiar with the situation."
