That part got me upset considering school shootings.
TL:DR-I like the story and gunplay most of all. The social aspects of the game also keep me coming back to help friends and strangers.
Background: I started with vanilla D1, then picked it back up after Taken King and have been playing ever since.
For me, the game has become more about story than actual gameplay, which I still feel is one of the best around. I’m super excited about the 3rd Episode especially, seeing as the Hive still has Xivu to deal, and whatever is going on with Oryx’s body.
I still play every week. Once I’m done with my story stuff for the week, I like to help my group get their raid clears and other tasks completed. If they’re not on, I sometimes boot up LFG and help blueberries as best I can. I genuinely like to play the game, even if it’s helping others.
When story stuff is slow, I actually do like PVP, although, within the past year or so, I’ve noticed that I’ve either gotten worse or the average (remaining) player ha gotten better. No longer can I pick up any random weapon (another boon that Destiny offers, IMO. The ability to take a weapon in PVE/PVP and use it ANYWHERE, with varying degrees of success. But where was I?) and do “OK” with it. Everyone uses “easier” weapons or loadouts, and as much as that irks me (it’s quick play, FFS), that’s their right. Is that contributing to the barren, desolate landscape that is the Crucible? Possibly. I’m not, and never have been, good enough to “carry” in the Crucible, and that goes double for Trials. I tried helping a clan mate recently get the Adept Draw Time mod since it only drops from the Lighthouse. He plays on PC. That session didn’t go well.
I got a bit rambling there at the end, but I guess to answer your question, the story and gunplay of the Destiny series are the reasons I like the game. One made friends playing this game. Already been to one wedding, with another coming later this year. Wouldn’t have happened if I never decided to try the game.
Some of those comments make me sad in ways I can’t fully articulate.
Is that Jesse Waters? I hesitate to use “News” anchor as his title. I think The Boys turned him into Cameron Coleman.
Buff and Franklin!
Ironic, but it kinda works for the U.S. too.
That possibly explains one murder, but what about the other two? Unless they all played a part in the heinous act…
As a parent, sometimes it’s a hope, not a lie.
I both love and hate that app because it has shown me how absolutely abysmal cellular speeds are at “peak” hours (which recently has expanded to most of the waking hours). Some days the test can’t even progress because the towers (I’m guessing) are so congested with other people trying to enjoy their lunch break. On the other hand, I love seeing the 5G-UW pop up on the phone and getting 2gb download speeds. I don’t see it often enough.
Some people get really offended when their sub or donation doesn’t get mentioned. I go so far as to re-sub when the streamer is offline to try and avoid it at all costs. Parasocial relationships are weird, man.
Binding of Isaac. When it finally came out on the switch, I played it more than Breath of the Wild.
I do a little extra because I know my other coworkers fuckin’ won’t. I tell my new hires that you’re not working for the other shift but rather for when it’s your shift again.
I remember a clip from a McCain rally and he was going around, asking people questions, letting them talk to the microphone, etc. One lady said she didn’t like Obama because he was Muslim. McCain shut her down and said something to the effect of “he’s a good man, we just have different opinions on how to run the country”. That stands out a lot to me in hindsight.
At least yours has a perforated line to try and tear before giving up and just getting a knife. My family keeps buying the bottles with no perforation and isn’t a smooth bottle. Tedious getting them ready for recycling.
Friend, most of us in the States don’t want to hear about it.
