I love how people are saying to just play Warframe for a better Destiny experience. Sure it has more content, but the loot system is pretty bad. Plus 3rd person shooting is bad.

deciding i want to use a new warframe that i finally farmed all the blueprints for and then having to wait a day because crafting timers unless i want to pay real money

the armsday sword poo poo was trash and i'm glad they moved away from that obnoxious poo poo. you also couldn't pay real money to speed that up, so i am not sure it's a fair comp.

Waiting for armsday once was OK, but there was a quest that required at least 3 armsdays IIRC

Last year it had an SRL season, strike scoring, the record book, and Icebreaker. This year it's mayhem, snowballs (which is a legit great addition and I will miss them), and a bunch of eververse items.

Ahh I was bored of RoI by then so wasn't playing.

obviously theres an underlying legitimacy to their complaints but the overreacting part comes from wanting to keep the anti microtransaction stuff going as long as humanly possible, and thats led them to a fairly insane place in terms of misinterpreting every idiotic mistake as a sinister cash grab

Destiny 2 is like a friend who used to be fun and great who has slowly slipped into their unreliable, exasperating cokehead phase. You know there's something good in there, but you can only find it for twenty minutes at a time sandwiched between three hours of frustrating disappointment and repeated attempts at hitting you up for money, all of which would go away if they looked in a fuckin mirror like ever

The Last Jedi is like your friend who was pretty cool and then did a couple years of college abroad and came back super hot and stylish and interesting and fun

Glad I got the Winter Cloak from doing the daily gift quest thing on Day 3. Looking for planetary materials is the worst, even with keen scout. Does the sniper range trick still work?

Does anyone still get gifts of bright dust from rank up tess packages?

Dont think i have gotten one in the past 10. Not sure if bungie has tightened the screws or its directly correlated to me hoarding dust? I have about 8k dust.

I think the last time I got a gift of dust was 2 weeks ago. since then it's been mostly ghosts and Sparrows.

Including the $50 I spent on Silver at launch, I've probably gotten Gift of Bright Dust (of any size, period) 2 or maybe 3 times.

I have gotten two gifts of dust, both small, since launch.

Getting straight up dust seemed pretty rare at release, I think I only got 2 or 3 batches, one of them large the whole time I was playing the game a lot.

Dang, I mean, I've spent money but have also farmed tons of Well-Rested Brights, and have gotten small gift a dozen times, medium maybe three times, and huge maybe 6 times? Last huge was a week and a half ago, probably. I've also gotten everything I want from the store, most by rng. My D2 rng overall has been absolutely spectacular so that plus me spending cash probably disqualifies me in some way. :shrug:

destiny 2 is consistently good and fun. i never come close to falling asleep.

the last jedi is pretty good. i almost fell asleep but i didn't.

blade runner 2049 was below average. i slept through about half the movie.

brave and the walking dead video game are insanely bad. i slept through most of them.

i call this my sleepy scale.
