  • The stolen art is a much bigger problem for Bungie in a legal sense. They (and other studios) put out mediocre shit all the time and promise to fix it. I’m sure the poor play test contributed but the stolen art is likely the cause for this delay.

    They now have to scan every single asset in the game to make sure the stolen art is no longer there and that’s just the stolen art they know about. There might be more stolen art in there, who knows.

    Now that the controversy is public the original artist could easily find a lawyer to go against Bungie if more stolen art is found in the final release. If Bungie gets sued they might have to pull the game from storefronts.


  • I share your sentiment but with the way social media and smartphones connect us today it becomes harder and harder for them to “get away with it” when we can call out bullshit with evidence in near real time.

    I’m not sure the George Floyd protests themselves were effective in the long run, but they started because one girl used a smart phone and social media to show the world what cops had been “getting away with” for centuries.

    I guess my point is that the tools they use to divide us can also be used to connect us and keep us organized for a sustained movement. I’d like to see protests like yesterdays happen every day of the week till we live in a better society.

    This reads like several other recent posts of his recently where it’s clear he’s not actually running things.

    Like the other day he said something like “Pete Hegeseth should send in the troops!” to LA. 1. You’re the president Donald, you kind of make that decision. 2. Why aren’t you talking directly to him and if you are, why did you ask him to do it in the post instead of saying he already is?

    Same thing with this one. Reads like he’s giving an order to staff instead of communicating with his cult.











  • If EQD can’t survive, then no boutique pedal company in the US will. An entire industry of American companies will be wiped out.

    EQD is a prime example of how insanely stupid Trumps tariffs are and how they’re not going to magically bring manufacturing back to the US. EQD literally builds everything in the US. They are the “people turning little screws” that one fucking dipshit talked about. The chips and components still come from overseas and that shit ain’t moving to the US.

    Fuck Donald Trump and all his sycophants.
