I've compiled some of my proudest work from my time at Bungie. It has been a joy to contribute to the Destiny universe and bring life to its inhabitants, big and small. Per Audacia Ad Astra

We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

still remember watching a David Attenborough documentary where he mentioned that at full gallop the Cheetah's whole body is lifted off the ground longer than the times the paws makes contact, so in a way the Cheetah is almost flying.

Incredible slow motion footage of a cheetah running at over 60mph (96km/h), captured at 1200fps by cinematographer Greg Wilson.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Monopoly was invented in America. it is based on Atlantic City. the world does not revolve around you, it revolves around the glorious state of New Jersey.

I just found out that Americans have a different version of Monopoly rather than the one with London locations on it. Which should honestly have been common sense. But I just assumed the London one was the default board everywhere

A deeply felt thank you, and highlights from this past weekend's @DestinyTheGame retrospective panel at @GCXEvent '26 -- one of the most moving, joyful, instantly unforgettable moments of my artistic life. (Full panel at youtube.com/live/DjvCf4W-jSA…)

Destiny fans are sharing why the franchise means so much to them, from the lifelong friendships they built to the difficult chapters it helped them through. More than 400,000 people have signed a petition launched by @luckyy10p that calls on Sony and Bungie to develop Destiny 3 after Bungie ended active development of Destiny 2 in June and shifted its focus to Marathon. What has Destiny meant to you? Let us know in the comments ⬇️ To read or sign the petition, head to the link in bio. #Destiny3 #Destiny2 #Bungie #Gaming #VideoGames @trulyyblu @destiny3please @aztecross @gernaderjake @rickkackis @luckyy10p @lukecb14 @destinybulletn @mackforhart @mallowthequeen @renaldafeen @forcer69 @macticsG1 @destinyNostalgi
