I got to the poker room at Aria (in Vegas) last night, and it felt like I walked into GCX
I immediately recognized and was embraced by 4 different people within 3 minutes.
Warms my fuckin heart. The gaming door may be closing for me a bit, but the poker door may be opening 🥹
I just got asked by ADIDAS to
BRING OUT THE MATCH BALL TO THE FIELD FOR THE AUSTRALIA VS PARAGUAY MATCH TOMORROW
I’ll wave to you all from the TV
WISH ME LUCK

Can I just... word vomit for a second? Sorry (but thank you)
With Destiny 2's final update coming up, it's bittersweet. I see the community mourning, the same mourning I did after the layoffs. For personal reasons, the game ended that day because every time (and lord did I try so many times) I booted it up, I'd have a panic attack.
I served overseas, was not diagnosed with PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD after Bungie and every time I heard that music, that wonderfully godlike music, it would throw me into fight or flight. So I had no choice but to say bye to the game and legit - as corny as this sounds - it took A LONG time to make peace with that because Destiny has always been my comfort game. Game Informer readers that know my work from back then know exactly what I'm talking about.
To watch the community struggle with those same feelings for different reasons, it just reaffirms for me what I've always said: Bungie fans are some of the most magical humans. The community that has been built around such a special game is equally as special. Like all families, there are some ... oddballs. Fights, petty shit. But at the end of the day, it's still a family.
As somebody that is just now jumping back in to celebrate with you all on June 9th, I just want you to know that the game is still up, your memories are yours to cherish, and YOU are what keeps the community alive. Just ask Mass Effect fans lol, the community doesn't need a game to keep it together, that's what brought us all together. But Bungie cooks and I'm excited to see what the studio does under (hopefully) better leadership. I hope you give the devs a chance to experiment with the unknown and create yet another amazing experience for us to enjoy. Remember, Destiny was a new IP at one point. So was Halo. New doesn't mean bad, it means adventure.
I wrote about Destiny long before I joined the studio, I made videos about Destiny, I wrote fan-fic about Destiny, I did VOs for personal Destiny-related projects. Nothing will take those memories and I hope you cherish the memories this studio has helped facilitate forever.
Crying, but in the best way. You didn't just become legend, you fuckin' showed what it means to be a legend and you did it all with the kindest of hearts. Proud to be a part of this community.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
Happy Pride, California! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This month is a celebration of progress and joy for the LGBTQ community. It’s a moment to stand together in defiance against hatred and bigotry.
California proudly fights for everyone’s right to love and live freely.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
