Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Halo Studios art director Glenn Israel (Halo 3 ODST, Infinite): "No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

The funniest things about these anti-DEI goblins is that they think that if a game shows ANY kind of diversity, it's because they hired a whole ass consultant, thus taking resources away from "making the game actually good", and not because the devs are just not a bunch of nazis.

It's finally here!! You've been asking for this for a long time, so I'm finally bringing an official Annalynn plushie to you guys through Makeship!

We need 200 petitions to bring this to reality, so back it while you can! Petitions close on October 19th.

Annalynn's official plushie is finally here, via Makeship! This is a rough mockup of how the final plushie will look.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
