Now that Counter Strike 2 has custom crafts, CS2 fans are expressing themselves as only they can
Counter Strike 2 has recently gotten an amazing update for those of you out there who love a little bit of customization in their tactical first person shooter. However, while some are innocently slapping stickers on their favourite weapons as Gaben intended, others have gone down a darker path.
This includes spelling out naughty sentences, creating phallic images, and having an all-around raunchy time with it. Such is the eternal truth about video game creativity – if you place the option for folks to make honkin hogs in their video game, they’ll do it.
Some of these are quite rude, so obviously don’t take a look at those if you’ve got kids or your boss is around. There are some lush safe-for-work creations out there too though – like this cool recreation of the M4 Howl. That was made by -Maid on the CS2 Reddit, and if that’s any indication of the creativity folks will apply to custom sticker placement then I’m all for it.

Production on Severance and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is stopping for the WGA strike
The Writers Guild of America’s current strike is shaping up to be a shining example of just how much power workers have when working collectively. Take, for example, the way production has been halted on Apple’s Severance and HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight due to picketing WGA members and allies refusing to cross the line.
Deadline reports that, in direct response to the organized demonstrations of striking writers, production on Severance’s second season in New York City and on The Hedge Knight — which is still being written — has stopped, with no clear date as to when things might ramp back up.
In addition to the writers themselves striking, Severance’s stoppage was partially…
