I love ALGS and LAN, but boy do I hate LA.
Witnessing sexual harassment, trying to stop the guy taking advantage of two women, then getting physically and verbally attacked by the goddamn predator was not on my bucket list.

Thank you to those in

Advice is circulating to avoid EA games or any title protected by EAC. I cannot confirm or deny whether this is necessary, but with the potential of an RCE (Remote Code Execution) exploit being abused within Apex, it is unclear what the capabilities of the responsible hacker(s)
So far, the ALGS hack source is unconfirmed.
One potential source is when access is gained through packs that have been bugged with malware, then the hacker lies dormant and can then take over that account.
Another source could be a hack within the server.

Failure DOES carry consequences- just not for the wealthy and comfortable. They can’t even see that the consequences of their actions are damaging those considered “below” them in the social hierarchy. What a short sighted statement.
Hi everyone :)
I’ve been pretty unwell today but I'm just popping online to say women are women (🏳️⚧️❤️)
Nobody should be denied their right to exist comfortably as themselves, especially when justified by a religion that is *meant* to be defined by *love they neighbour* 🫶🏻
This year has been far from easy, but I’ve also had so many opportunities to have fun and enjoy the excitement that comes with journalism ❤️
I’ll still be working hard through the last few days of this year, and hopefully 2024 brings more of all this ✨
The return from LAN has been a smack back to financial stress, mental stress, and the struggle to work two jobs and study 🌪️
Reuniting with so many lovely Apex people keeps me going 🔥
I always have to stay strong so I can be with you all again at the next one ❤️
