@DassCoool @acekingspades @optionscjp That rent rate does drive great Twitter engagement though!

@acekingspades @optionscjp The rent rate he mentioned sounded super low to me too for a home that price in Ca at least near us.

I’m having a hard time grasping why anybody would buy a house in California right now The price we pay for rent is $7000 but our house is worth $2.5 million. If we were to buy that house, our mortgage payment would be like $20k plus we would have to put 20% down With the economy, the way it is why would anybody want to lock themselves into 30 years of $20,000 a month payments? When I could rent the same house for $7000 a month and if shit hits the fan, I can just come move somewhere cheaper

Happy holidays everybody! Wishing our community an awesome holiday season and looking forward to talking soon. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. See you in 2026.

Hi! I am hiring on my team at Infinity Ward for an Expert Engine Engineer. Looking for a generalist who is not afraid to get their hands dirty, across a varying set of engine and game systems. Details linked: careers.activision.com/job/ACPUUSR025…

Hit my 20 year mark today working in the USA at Activision! 5 Dec 2005 - 5 Dec 2025. Arrived on my own with a couple of suitcases; my life is very different now. :) Still smile at the sun and the palm trees, and am very happy to call California home.

Really enjoying "The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy". SRPG's are probably my favorite genre, and they did a great job with this one. Well balanced combat, and the story stuff just gets better as it goes along. I highly recommend it!

@GeordieMarv We were definitely outclassed, a well deserved and overdue Newcastle trophy. Congrats Graham! :)

@GavinPugh Commiserations Gav mate. But 70 years man. At 53 i was running out of time. Hope you understand my joy. Much love. G. ❤️⚫️⚪️ & 🔴

Loading.. new parks. 3/4/25

Sad to hear that TCE is closing down next month. Been a member for almost 20 years... End of an era. 😢

@mattlarscheid @FakeJohnTrump @GabeHoff It's not that far off: npr.org/2019/01/16/686… I've spoken with many folks who immigrated illegally over my 20 years in LA, and every one of them overstayed on a tourist visa.

There’s zero chance that 80% number is right. Saying there’s no difference is like saying there’s no difference between a family overstaying their welcome when they come to visit you and you coming home to find out a stranger is your house. I don’t know how much you have to pretzel your brain to think those are the same thing. They’re clearly not.

BREAKING: Investigation confirms Elon Musk and brother Kimbal were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. They dropped out of school while on student visas, and began working without permits.

@pikuma so true....

@josh_caratelli @gravitywell @jonshiring Congrats Josh! :)

Exciting news, I've been promoted to Engineering Director at @GravityWell! My excellent boss @jonshiring will be able to focus more on his CTO role and rad online stuff, while I can take on more leadership and coding. I really can't wait for y'all to see what we're working on.

i'm a broken record on this, but the fact that basically everything about videogame culture has been offloaded to youtubers and streamers is profoundly bleak. blogs died years ago, outlets are dying now, and the people actually making the games aren't doing much better either.

The release of a new open-source data set, features the map Caldera from Call of Duty: Warzone for non-commercial use. This data set release contains near-complete geometry of Caldera and in-game character pathing. Read more 👇 bit.ly/3yhV8Ax

There's an explanation why so many of us look back fondly to the #Olympics opening ceremony in 2012. The country was united, comfortable with diversity, proud of its past, relaxed about the future and secure enough to take the piss out of ourselves.

Probably the most boring England group stage I've ever seen at a major tournament. We're through, but 🥱😴. Like watching paint dry. #EURO2024

@rostfritt @stevegalaxius @ellisartwist @AlecChilton @aljxNdr @4utumnHarvest @glukett @butleriano @twinkophrenia @khybermachina "Glassing a verb started with Halo". 🥲 Guessing the Scottish version originated in the 80s, perhaps even earlier.

@stevegalaxius @ellisartwist @AlecChilton @aljxNdr @4utumnHarvest @glukett @butleriano @twinkophrenia @khybermachina I thought glassing meant to be stabbed with a broken bottle.

@mr_sorkin @USCTrojansFTFO @theyellowbat79 @RiotRMD Couple of links: bafta.org/games/awards/e… gamesindustry.biz/why-bafta-is-c… Sounds like that first stage is up to 1000!

@mr_sorkin @USCTrojansFTFO @theyellowbat79 @RiotRMD There are multiple stages of voting. I expect the first stage has all members of the games arm of BAFTA participating, which I think likely runs over 500. Most games up for voting tend to have Steam/Epic-store codes only. Only a few of the top titles IME put up console codes.

BAFTA entry requires 500 game download codes (minimum!) to be sent...its not like those are free for us either.

@candyslexia Nice! Looking forward to showing it to Isobel in a few years. :)

@GavinPugh Yay!! I showed my daughter her name in the Infinite Warfare credits a while ago and she was super excited 🥰

Was a pleasure to work with the great folks at Sledgehammer on #MWIII. My daughter and I got in the credits! 🥳
