Me, at any given opportunity
me: capturing the star wars vibe is a very ephemeral thing, I wonder if Destiny 2 will be able to do it while still doing a Destiny story

bungie: our Jedi Order equivalent is space magic cop internal affairs that struggles to adapt to a world where its dogmatic views no longer apply

me: SOLD
It's Good That the 'Destiny 2' Jedi Proxy Also Kind of Sounds Like They Suck
If the 'Destiny 2' expansion's 'Star Wars' crossover means it wants to tell a story that captures the vibe of the galaxy far, far away, then it's doing a good job so far with the Praxic Order.

I have been faced with atrocious decision paralysis about the sheer amount of current games I could be playing right now, so instead I've basically said I'll go fuck myself

For Good: Pretty Good!

It is definitely still Wicked Act 2, with all its faults, but I enjoyed it. No Good Deed and For Good hit in the ways you want, kind of hilarious that they really do try and make Dorothy look as psychopathic as possible.

Part One still much stronger, but this wasn't bad.

Had the great pleasure of chatting with @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social, @collinkelly.bsky.social, and @heatherantos.bsky.social to talk about the wild STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP, which is probably my favourite piece of Trek this year.

MAJOR spoilers for both issue one and two—read if you dare!
