You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I've got an old 680gtx that's been doing pretty well for years now, even if it does show it's age a bit of stuff like Total War: Warhammer. I've been scoping out a new video card so I can run Destiny better and, uh, sweet jesus when did stuff get this expensive? The last time I scoped out computer parts was before I had a kid so my perspective has probably changed a bit, but I also play Warhammer 40k on tabletop so my money sense is also obviously terrible. The 1070 seems like the new mid-level card and it's like $500.

There is no regionlocking I don't think, there wasn't any for Destiny 1, and there isn't any for overwatch on battle.net.

Hmm I never noticed but you're right. I thought Overwatch was like D3 where you could play on either server but your characters were different etc. Should be good then.

Someone was asking if Destiny 2 pc was region locked and apparently yes, region locking is a thing on the 4k 2000 fps edition of Destiny 2. Not that bad since it's only three regions but I didn't have to logout and switch regions to play with Texas goons.

If it's like Overwatch then it should be the same characters, just friendslist and stuff will change. The article still isn't that clear.

Doubt that it will be the case, however if the concept of seasons is carries from clan progression to character then we will have seasonal characters, hopefully with shareable currencies and equipment. But that's just speculation.

That's good because DoF is dumb (and so is motion blur) and I hate games that throw it into a general effects setting together with useful stuff and call it a day.

To yolo rolls! The cause and solution to all problems!
That looks a little busy, but no worse than Overwatch I suppose.

I miss the Counterstrike setup where grenades were weapons you equipped like any other gun, instead of assigned to a grenade throwing button. Modern shooters always end up with a compromise of all the cool, fun things I want on my mouse buttons, and the rest that gets assigned to the keyboard gettho.
