I fucking hate that guy

Glenn (and Trump) seem to forget that the only reason he won was because Dems ran a dogshit candidate. Now that they’re not I don’t see VA going to Trump.

Glenn Youngkin is a spineless opportunist who thinks he knows better than everyone else because he has money. Remember that when he tries to run for President.

It’s a cult. You’ll never be able to make sense of it.

Bungie site works fine for me. It’s Kotaku having problems with this one but they usually don’t have problems either.

Not a good look for Bungie or Sony. Bungie management needs to go but at this point I feel like that will lead to a full takeover by Sony who aren't any better.

EDIT: I keep getting redirected to The Root when I try to scroll on this link. I think it's an issue with the site.

EDIT 2: Another article about those who were laid off: https://kotaku.com/bungie-ceo-layoffs-locked-account-destiny-pete-parsons-1851610118

Pete Parsons is a fucking coward.

 

Big chunky boi. Has to be the heaviest plastic infantry model I have.

His multi piece cape sucks. You can’t see it in this pic but his right side is all messed up and I had to use miliput to fix it.

I forgot about 30th Anniversary pack. Super fun activity with good guns. Absolutely farm that.

I think the only thing that was free that you still can access is Onslaught. A horde mode from last season. It drops very popular guns like Mountaintop and Recluse. In August they’re pushing an update that lets you focus what gun you want to drop at Zavala.

Dungeons are hit or miss. I don’t think you’re missing much there. They can be fun but after doing it 5 times and not getting a good roll they get old. If they had craftable guns I’d say consider it.

Favorite Raid: Salvations Edge

It has a good balance of being challenging, not too long, but also not completely brain dead like RoN. Also a satisfying raid lore wise.

Least Favorite: Garden of Salvation

Raid is too easy until the boss. Then that encounter requires everyone to be 100% on their shit. Throw in a terrible mechanic with the tether, a bad exotic quest, and lore completely inconsequential to the overall story and you’ve got a really bad raid.

You could probably buy Witch Queen and The Final Shape and get a good amount of Destiny out of those two expansions. Both have good campaigns and Raids. Skip Lightfall and Beyond Light unless you get them in a bundle. Most of the content in those is dead and the campaigns suck. They’re really only good for unlocking Stasis and Strand.

So far Episode 1 has just been Seasons with a different name and I’m not really impressed. From what they’ve said I think Episode 3 will probably be substantial but we’ll see.

TL;DR:

  • Crucible Updates Coming in August:
    • Map weighting towards newer and more popular maps
    • Lobby balancing changes
    • Updated quitter system
    • Nerf to Threaded Specter and Swarm grenades (PVP only)
    • Trials Passage of Persistence doesn't take away wins when in a 3-stack
    • Comp Clash score to win decreased
    • Better spawn logic on Collision
    • Tribute removed from Iron Banner
    • Increased rewards for all Crucible
    • Spawns on bigger maps have been pushed closer together.
  • There's a lot of detail about all the Crucible changes if you want to go read more.
  • Exotic Class item Drop Rates
    • Increasing chances while in Pale Heart to a stacking bonus until a drop happens.
    • Random Pale heart chests drop rate decreased to encourage Overthrow participation. (Probably also to prevent AFK farming with Macros.)
    • Weekly challenge to Dual Destiny for a double drop per Character.
    • More tuning to come in the future. Team is aware of the negativity around farming these.
  • Brave Weapon Attunement returning at Zavala

TL:DR: This TWID is all about IRL community related stuff you can participate in to get emblems and other swag. I am personally not very interested in that kind of stuff but check it out if you are as some of it looks pretty cool and goes to good causes.

 

I really wanted one of these when they did the limited release but couldn’t justify it at the time. Glad the brought it back and improved upon it.

It’s a strange pedal and probably best for ambient effects or backing tracks. The DBA side is probably the most “usable” of the modes for more traditional guitar work. I have to play around with it more.

I tried something weird by having it between my distortions and almost blew out my eardrums with the feedback when I turned on the plumes.

TL;DR:

  • Episode 1: Act 2 Livestream recap
  • In Episode 2 all story content will release at the beginning of each act instead of weekly.
  • Two new battlegrounds available July 16th. Third one on July 23.
  • New and Returning Weapons:
    • Solar Rocket Sidearm
    • Arc Two-burst Pulse
    • Perfect Paradox (the GOAT)
  • New artifact perks. Very sniper heavy.
  • Some balance tuning changes mentioned that are coming in early August. Only a few specifics. Probably will be covered in another article in more depth.
    • Big thing to note is that Still Hunt+Celestial is getting a 25% dmg nerf.
  • Solstice Armor lookin' hot this year. More details about the event in a future TWID.
  • Havok Hardware in Crucible labs next week. Mayhem but for Special and Heavy drops.
  • Next collab is RecRoom but only in that game.

I had not heard of him till the anime. The soundtrack goes hard. I couldn’t do the show but I’m not big on anime.

It's supposed to be brown? Lighting probably makes it look weird.
