Pilot log: 469-A
Received orders and coordinates for rendezvous, en route, can’t share any more information.
Bootleg InDim exists.
This is a decently dangerous mission and I will be heading into a region of space where there is nothing-no outposts, no support, no laws.
I am the only agent of order, here.
I’m not a religious person, but any support would be welcome-I’m going to need it. I’m going to need anything I can get. I’ll check in when I can.
@transientech0 I love you and will contact you from the comm directly, in case the ping fails, there’s this <3
I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs.
I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history.
The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people.
A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preserved id’s complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the company’s ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them).
I’m thinking of everyone at id today, and everyone else affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Romero Games was there a year ago. I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you.
This is Sony’s biggest PlayStation disc factory in Thalgau, Austria.
For decades, it produced hundreds of thousands of PlayStation game discs every single day.
Soon, those production lines will be replaced with optical microlens manufacturing.
A factory that helped define physical gaming is about to enter a completely new chapter.
SONY.
WE BOUGHT THE CONSOLES.
WE BOUGHT THE GAMES.
WE BUILT THE INDUSTRY.
PHYSICAL MEDIA IS NOT OBSOLETE.
OWNERSHIP IS NOT OBSOLETE.
NO DISC.
NO BUY.
PHYSICAL MEDIA MUST STAY.
