Trumps Facist America. Already using force against anti-ICE peaceful protests. Major aggression coming from one side.
Stay safe, L.A. 💙
Again, these troops are deployed without Gov. Newsome asking. This is all the 47 admin.

My goal this weekend when I play Fortnite is to find AI Vader and ask as many questions as I can.
So far, I have already found some limitations in the guardrails of some primitive responses, but there have been some WILD responses, too. Like, this is nuts to me.
Closer to the holodeck everyday.

My third time with Vader in my squad, I found a quiet part of the map and just asked Vader all kinds of conversations. The QA game tester part of my brain trying to push the boundaries of this insane leap in gaming and tech.
I had never seen anything like it.

I made it a point to find Vader as Luke and beat him. Now, for the unitiated in Fortnite, you have to be the first player on the Battle Royal map to do so to get Vader to squad up with you.
I did that twice.
AI Vader knows about Skynet. Can tell you it's fav. SW movie (it's Empire!) and more.

I asked the AI if this was the result of James Earl Jones selling his voice rights to Disney because I remember reading about it. Vader said, "James Earl Jones the actor did sell his likeness but the Empire has no interest in copyright law. We must focus on the mission."
My jaw hit the floor.

I didn't notice that at first. I only started asking more questions, and Vader would answer me. I was Chewbacca and he called my SW character that.
I died in the storm, but then switched to Luke Skywalker and found DV to defeat him in game and speak to the AI as Luke.
Vader joins my squad in game

Also, I just realized I'll be the first director to ever put corncob nunchucks on film, but I hope I'm not the last.
🌽 nunchucks!!!

This whole time, creators across all mediums, from film, gaming, art, music, and general can do spirit of the indie creator kept chugging along and doing the one thing Hollywood never could authentically really do for their audience.
Connect with them directly.
The digital space was expanding. CT

2005-2025 and in twenty years streaming YouTube, Twitch, etc. Is the dominant entertainment force and money maker.
Hollywood flips the fuck out, hemorrhages money like crazy and consolidates into mergers.
Killing internal competition and flattening the consumer market in the process.

It's wild how many people I know personally that this applies to.
You all think you're being so slick with it, but you can't hide your annoyance or resist cruel, "just a joke, Nick" jokes.
These people were never friends to begin with. The cruelty is the point.
Don't be a doormat for them.

Thanks! I need to credit my friend Jax for giving me a definition of what the pile of clothes on the chair is called.
A Doom Pile.
Hence, we open in the silhouette against a sick sunset of a recliner stacked with clean clothes sitting on the throne of Latveria.
Pondering.
Doom thoughts.

It's the only thing that will make RDJ as Dr. Doom work.
Also, Dr. Doom Clothespliechair is his new MCU variant name and the chair kinda looks like Chairy the puppet from Pee-Wees Playhouse but with a Doom mask and of course the Doom pile of clothes that always need to be put away.
Scary shit.

The pile always seems like it is gonna get done in the movies run time.
The audience thinks they will see the clean clothes pile be done and put away, but plot twist!
Another clean pile gets put on that pile.
We just cut to the reveal.
Funnier this way and oh so relatable to the audience.

Good. Let's get the gaming community to realize this is one dude making all this unnecessary pain with tariffs. They are a tax and we are paying it.
It takes a lot to move the gaming community out of its monolithic bubble, and I hope this is the juice needed for a push.

So yeah, in conclusion, I hope the dev team considers making a comp mode without hero bans.
Please don't make it 6v6 open queue. Give us role queue comp, heck, make a 6v6 RQ too w no bans.
Blizzard made comp. out of Capture the Flag and Lucio Ball Come on dev team! U can do this, u gotta believe!

I love to play Sombra, her up hill battle has been no one understands the heroes kit or full potential.
Therefore, Sombra is an easy target to ban every game. In 2 hours of comp. I played her once.
Overwatch is also about hero counters and strategy. Hero bans feel like they are a detriment.

Papa Jeff, who shepherded a beautiful game with the OW 1 devs, really put a lot of thought into the core of that game.
He listened to feedback and gave the gamers a level of BTS transparency not seen much by game companies today.
I cannot speak for him, but I don't think he would be happy w/bans.

I also deeply feel that this change, implemented in a game that has a core gaming mechanic to "switch heroes mid battle in multi player," has fundamentally made the game flawed.
Because this feature is put upon the player in competitive mode with no recourse, it creates a toxic game environment.
