im permabanned bungiedev bountymaker58. i first started designing gambit bounties when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “irony” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would make bounties like “get 30 multikills with a rocket launcher” and “deposit 10 large blockers” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of bounties was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “do” gambit bounties to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Did they bump up the drop rates for escalation protocol? I just got the SMG, sniper, and shotgun in about one hour.

They added the RNG catchup mechanic where a session without a drop raises your drop chance but I think that's for any drop in general not the individual guns. You just got really lucky.

This except the severely mentally challenged nephew of the Bungie bigwig whose job it is to add edges, lips, protrusions to walls, curbs ever so slightly too large for your Guardian to walk over, pebbles on the ground that will kill you if you land on them, and all the other insane poo poo they let their retarded physics interact with.

At the starting of the strike where you have all the taken at that power plant on earth (one of the NF this week), Zavala says "take out the blacks." I recorded it just to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

That tiny little bump you can't walk backwards over so you try jumping over it and it sends you forwards instead.

Gwisin let's you back flip around the map while constantly being in your super lol

I think I prefer 1k over qb in gambit. I had a guy hidden behind cover with 15 motes on the opposite side of the map. If I had 1k could just shoot the ground next to him and he'd die.

If they're hiding in corners they're bad so run them down.

Forbes just posted an article yesterday about how weird it is that Forsaken’s first major post launch content is a week away and no one knows a goddam thing about it but it’s concerning and possibly indicative of it being low value.

It means there's no campaign proper to discuss the play of, enemies of, story arc of, leaving but quests and one-off missions and poo poo. That's always a huge part of reveals.

There's also the matter of new modes or anything else which they likely don't want to spotlight as then the value of the DLC comes down to a piece of the puzzle being pre-judged and de facto representing the release as a whole, which they don't want.

And then there's the matters of timing, first being that Black Armory releases over months and thusly don't want to present only a few things while saying they can't show more yet or that it's not time, which would be a very bad look. Then the other, being if they showed what they can a month out, they would have gotten savaged. "Too little, too early, where's the rest of what we're paying for?" ish would have murdered the hype and expansion sales.

This is new ground for the game and expecting Bungie, who now finally has good press back on their side with Forsaken so far, to squander it on an antiquated reveal process is lol.

The DLC is just gonna be more weekly crumbs like the corruption cycle in dreaming city. We already know there's no new patrol zones this year, it's clear to me the "bubbles" poo poo they were talking about was just updating NPC interactions to make it feel like a story is taking place.

Plus the stuff we all actually care about, new guns.

Some comedian has a bit where she says if she lives to be 100, she will troll people by saying it's because she ate an entire pine cone everyday.

As I sit here in my Alpha Lupi, with no resilience, and holding a sidearm and a trace rifle, I can't help but wonder if I have been eating your pine cones
