  1. #LukeStephens shares light about what the giant and ongoing round of layoffs in #Microsoft is about.

    Essentially, profit margins. It's about spending less to do more, and that means cuts and projects. They want less mediocre games spending thousands of millions of dollars. #PerfectDark was one of these.

    Microsoft is cancelling their own #SuicideSquad before it hatches.

  2. @mentallyalex the ones I come back to consistently are #Minecraft, #ClassicDoom, and #Warframe. However, I've been really into #BaldursGate3 lately, and I grew up on #StarCraft, #PerfectDark, and several others.

    I don't know if I have a genre that I gravitate towards, per se, but I do love games with #mods available (hence Doom & Minecraft) as well as those that have a lot of lore to dig into (Warframe & BG3).

    It's hard to pin down my favorite mods/modpacks for Minecraft, although I did make my own almost a decade ago now, which I kind of want to return to along with another more recent that gave me very similar vibes (There Will Be Blood and Underdog, respectively).

    For Doom, though, I've fallen deeply in love with #HideousDestructor over the last year or so, and even began making/maintaining addons for it.

    I guess creating content for existing games comes to no surprise considering I used to make custom StarCraft maps back in the day, and even now I stream games live on Twitch.

  3. When I was growing up, this meant lots of #Goldeneye and #PerfectDark on the #N65 (#Nintendo64). At university, it meant lots and lots of #Halo with folks living on my hall. Nowadays it means nostalgia with #GoldeneyeSource (an online multiplayer version built on the Half Life 2 game engine) with a bit of #Titanfall2 and #CSGO mixed in. I've never personally gotten the appeal of 3rd person perspective for shooters, but if you're a fan maybe you can tell me why?
