Aaron's activity on September 23 was light, touching on two distinct topics. He reposted commentary on layoff patterns in the games industry, specifically in response to news that the story director for Gears of War: E-Day was let go just days after the game went gold. The repost highlighted a troubling trend: when names are attached to layoffs, they almost always belong to "non-technical" workers — artists, composers, writers, and narrative designers — a pattern seen as confirming long-standing biases in game studio management. The underlying story drew particular attention because of its timing.

He also reposted a sharply worded comment about migrants being endangered at sea, with the original poster invoking centuries of naval tradition to frame the deliberate sabotage of inflatable refugee boats — apparently to cause drownings — as something that would historically have warranted a forceful response.
