| this update is gonna be a big one
100,000 words directly from some people who still deeply care about the game. giving it a huge last hoorah.
i hope sony will notice, but i doubt it. not going to overdose on hopium.
rambling a little..
i play destiny as a relaxing game. it used to piss me off GREATLY because i was bad or made really stupid decisions, but i learned the art of movement. if you can run really fast, you can jump really high. and then you can do your action movie stuntman moves like you did on halo in blood gulch. because you sucked and played with people who were much better than you. so you had to find your own fun while still getting kills.
the gunplay and engine mastery is where the game shines. for all its faults and the times bungie "fucked up", the tiger engine prevailed. a testament to time and abuse. cross-platform, can run on a toaster. marathon uses a super-updated version which may have had some shared code with the destiny 2 servers/client, but who knows. but the gunplay.. those people were cooking with bacon.
my buddy had been a destiny diehard since the beginning. he held onto a 360 with the d2 beta for the longest time. he had friends in other states he played with nightly, for years and years. they raided almost exclusively. he had all the cool guns™ - slick shit which only dropped in a raid. raids are extremely punishing if you're not locked the fuck in. he messages me one day after d2 came to bnet. "have you ever done the vault of glass raid?" no "well you're doing it tonight."
and we did. and it dropped my favorite gun in all of destiny, ever.
fitted with demolitionist/thresh. paired with armamentarium, you never have to worry about reloading. sure, you can use actium war rig, but getting an extra nade is worth more than feeding the gun, even though that is also incredibly fun.
i use it as a primary. this is my fun. i'll further add to it with heavy ammo scout mods which will drop 2 extra bricks for the bros. add one of the healing autorifles and you're now a triage medic who can fuck shit up in his own right.
as long as the servers stay up, i'll continue playing destiny long after it has run its course and people who burnout finally quit.
just shooting from the hip. i was never good at pvp; never good at raiding. i was running solo for many, many years. doing public events with randos was the fun i found. it'd be a real shame to lose that.

| whatcha think about that mr bat man
while it very likely won't do anything for the game, shitting on marathon player count numbers is vastly more important to some destiny players.
it feels a LOT like when cosmic rift attempted to take over subspace as the new game..
update is free.
you can pick up renegades for ~20USD over at loaded dot com - a totally legit key site. allegedly. maybe.
the site does look sketchy as hell, but i have purchased an assload of gaems from there. nothing weird has ever happened. if you do decide to purchase anything from there, make double triple sure it is not sold out.

Been a while, dealing with being sick, treating others who were sick, being a taxi cab for family and baby sitting my niece and nephew who live 2 hours away has kept me busy and not the good kind of busy.
Trying to deal with insurance over the garage has been.. not bad thus far, it's more about waiting on the plans then anything else now. I figure on good time schedule, the new garage should be up by the mid of summer.
Otherwise, I've put a boatload of time into Windrose now that I have time for myself again. For the $35 price tag, I'm liking thus far.
I've also been making my own M3u Editor as a side project, more for my dad since he pisses around with iptv alot and uses wordpad for his editing. Once I clean up the bugs and add some features, I'll release it on github.
