I picked up Destiny 2 at the urging of a friend despite bouncing off Destiny a year ago. I haven't really gotten into a game like this in a while. The only thing that stopped be from playing all day Sunday and Monday was losing power yesterday morning in the storm.

Maybe it's because I'm in on it from the ground floor, but coming into Destiny late was just a confusing clusterfuck of like 5 different currencies, different types of missions you had to run, and weird cards you collect and promptly forget to read.

Plus, the story was pretty cool.

The second to last mission where you're running around outside the ship right next to the sun was pretty badass

I'm on xbone, unlike most of you.

gently caress pewdiepie. As easy as it was for him to drop that N Bomb during his stream means he uses it a lot when off camera. Plus he speaks fluent English so it's not like he can play dumb that he doesn't under the context.

I can forgive a whole lot because it gave us the "Dungeons & Dragons with an rear end in a top hat DM, but as an FPS" dlc. I legit chuckled hard the first time my dude yelled "MAGIC MISSILE" when he threw that particular grenade.

I feel like such an old man sometimes. I can't see the appeal of watching some other person play a video game when I could instead spend that time playing the game myself. Removing the interactive element of gaming and replacing it with someone's halfassed rambling commentary just seems dumb.

i watch people play video games because it's better than reading/watching an IGN review when deciding if i want to buy a video game

i hate spending $60 on video games so when i do i want to make sure it's at least kind of worth it.

have an xp boost code for Destiny for one of y'all. Best for a new character to use around level 10 or so, using it once you're already 20 is a waste. It's four hours I believe and the timer doesn't stop once you use it

I just hit level ten so that'd be perfect for me if you still have it :)

I'll come right out and say, that was me too. I got incredibly bored with how the story wasn't really there (no, looking poo poo up on my phone or online doesn't count as a story), and the missions felt incredibly dry and uninspired after awhile.

Destiny 2 is MUCH better in that regard. I wasn't even on planning on buying it but it came with a PS4 Pro that I bought and I've been enjoying the crap out of it since.

I'd say at the very least, it's worth a Red Box rental to see if you like it. It feels like they took a good chunk of the criticism to heart.

Twitch is good for watching pros play games at a high level, staring at tits while a game plays in the background, or watching people do odd stuff like body painting, leatherwork, make music, etc... in creative.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

tastefully arranged labia posted:

Yeah because that's my gut reaction go-to curse when somebody angers me. I fly right past fuckface straight to the n-word.

When I got into Eve, it was during the time when ironic racism was already "being" faded out. Quotation marks because there had been like three or so Goonfleet leadership dudes that had even begun voicing that it may not be cool or good to use racist slurs for the sake of being ~super-edgy~ in a video game.

My first reaction to it was asking on Mumble why the guy using 'friend of the family' constantly and super-casually and even in instances where he was slightly inconvenienced was still in Goonfleet, and there was this awkward moment where you could tell that people agreed, but no one wanted to be "that guy".
You know, "that guy" that agrees with someone saying that the guy using 'friend of the family' should get the gently caress out. That was the level of being afraid of being labeled a social justice warrior in a turbo-edgy video gaming clubhouse.

And this was, bizzarely enough, not exclusive to Goonfleet. Being an edgy shitlord was pretty common in Eve in general. People tried to blame it on Reddit, but it certainly didn't come from there.

Even long after people FINALLY got called out for the dumb "ironic racism" excuse, "ironic antisemitism" still remains in the game today. Of that, I'm pretty much 100% sure, and I haven't played it in 3 years or so. Making money in PvE was called "jewing", guys with blingy ships meant exclusively for PvE were "jewlords", the capital system for the biggest and most greedy PvE group in Goonfleet was "JU-OWQ", tractor beams used for grabbing salvaged wrecks mid-fights were called "Jew-claws", group leadership legit used terms like "get your Jew on" between wars to stack up on ships, money, and resources.

When I mentioned that outside the group I was playing with, I got called a social justice warrior.

Heck, there were lots of dudes that used to be among the edgelord group that had to seriously try to police their language after being immersed in this dumb gaming culture for years, and occasionally slurs would just slip out embarrassing them massively. And their first thought was not to question how the gently caress they were in a culture where they were conditioned to think that ironic racism was somehow a thing, but to criticize that "it's so weird that you have to be PC in gaming now".

tl;dr:
95% of turbo-edgy gaming dudes probably aren't the flag-waving, hood-wearing racists, in real life, but they're loving retarded enough to think using racist slurs ironically "used to be okay" in gaming, and that it somehow wasn't racist in the first place, because they weren't being serious.

/edit:
gently caress me, I just remembered you couldn't even discuss the issue of "ironic" racism on these very loving forums in the Eve thread, because it would cause huge loving shitstorms over several pages between people that were all "it's not loving serious", or "it's just Eve culture, let it go, dude", and "lol stop being PC", and you know...the normal people. And I don't mean "couldn't discuss" because you wouldn't get a productive discussion, but because it got to the point where it was probatable to even bring it up.

Hell, even people in this here subforum were in the "Uh, stop talking about ironic racism" as opposed to stepping up and saying "Yeah, maybe the guys using it aren't literal Hitlers, but stop loving using racist slurs".

The irony thing is too difficult to distinguish from actual racism hence it largely going away here. I see these words on the way your country sees Nazi symbols- OK when used in an academic/educational context but otherwise just don't say it.

I had to look this up to see what the gently caress it is. It's a $10 game where you shoot underage anime girls in a school with an orgasm gun. For the low low price of $90, you get a DLC that let's you see their underwear.

The Super Best Friends on youtube are excellent for this, I've bought a handful of really good games I would've passed on otherwise due to their videos.

Plus their videos in general are pretty fun. The series where they play The Punisher with the gore filter turned off is a loving hoot.

Gamegrumps is also good because its two goofy dudes getting angry at video games.

Also one of them is a Jew, belongs to a band called "Ninja Sex Party", has the Stage name of "Danny Sexbang" and sounds chill as gently caress
