Gears 5 spoilers 

I have not played 2-4 so I have no story context. It sucks that I have to play an unreleased 6 to get the arca I'm interested in concluded.

Gears 5 spoilers 

It's also a bit frustrating that Kait's arc in this game has no conclusion. We spend a hell of a lot of time in the middle of the story learning about her, only for her to be marginalized in the climax by a minor appearance of her grandmother and the final battle. They wrote this assuming players would play Gears 6, which I think is a tragic misstep given this game has such a great start.

JD and Fahz's arcs aren't quite tied up either, except by JD dying if you save Del.

In the "JD dies" path, I'm a little disappointed that we only briefly see Marcus's emotional response to having his son die. Let this man cry, for god's sake.

Gears 5 makes me sad that investment in big budget single player is disappearing, because goddamn it's impressive

facebook/oculus is literally signaling potential legal action against "illicit mods" for oculus quest games holy shit?

us politics, harrowing, bad, facebook, social media, it's no longer just "the algorithm" 

2 days ago: audio is leaked saying that zuckerberg is extremely mad over the democratic candidates trying to push for breaking up facebook

6 hours ago: facebook quietly changes policy about false and misleading info, saying political ads are no longer fact-checked. at about the same time Trump begins to put up false and misleading ads

it's no longer "the algorithm", social media is being intentionally manipulated to push for political situations where the rich stay in power
