This is most welcome, but as you’ve alluded to, a fairly obvious own-goal that could easily have been avoided.

Why does everyone think Destiny can ONLY be fun if it’s impossible to play!?

So much this. Thank you for putting into words my blind rage at Bungie.

They could have made the first Forge accessible at current LL, and then left the next ones a their intended higher difficulty.

That sound you hear is this dropping with a resounding, “Meh.”

Yeah...Tried this with my local VW scene. Their FB group was horrid. And the few times I took my car out to C&C events and parked with the other VWs, not a single person said even as much as hello.

Am white, hetero, and male; I’ve already won in life. I agree and would be delighted to let literally anyone other than those like me have a go at running things.

I checked the ad. It is not an SVT. VIN is for a regular Focus ZX3.

Yup. That generation Focus chassis was fantastically well engineered.

I owned number 85, a Sonic Blue SVT exactly like the one you have pictured, for ten years. It was a fantastic car to drive. But they are heinously difficult to maintain now. Parts are impossible to find, and numerous items are SVT-specific.

Wrong bumpers. So either they just can’t find the correct ones, or they just stuck an SVT badge on the back of a regular Focus, that also just happens to have a V8 swap.

Damnit. Take your star.

Actually, it’s called The Traveler.

They have improved the shader system to a certain extent. When you load your menu, tab left for your “Collections Tab” and you can view anything you have discovered as you play the game, and even purchase more of those certain shaders you happen to like. Prices are fairly high and clearly designed around the…

Fantastic! This game was astoundingly good, given the studio’s on-going dramas.

I dropped out shortly after the Warmind DLC dropped. I got fed up with the punishing, artificial limits placed on progression; which are are even harsher in impact on more casual players. Getting back into the game felt fun over the weekend. I felt powerful, could kills enemies with ease, and stuff dropped like money…

They are making huge strides on that last point. The new ES is surprisingly good fun to drive for what it is. No, it isn’t a sports car. It was never meant to be either.

Portman is basically a parasite, leeching of the life-blood of society at this point. As are nearly all our elected reps. And the 1%; especially the Kochs, the Waltons, the Mercers, and those like them who pervert our democracy for their own radical ideological agendas.

I miss my SVTF dearly. What a fantastic car to drive. When it did need maintenance. Which mine did after 10 years of casual neglect. And the joys of trying to find parts...

And now I have that song in my head.
