You’re not. The environments from the D4 gameplay trailer ranged from “mud” to “genuinely unpleasant to look at.” Not a fan at all.

I’m actually not thrilled about OW2. If they wanted to release a standalone PvE experience, or an expansion that could graft onto OW, fine, but if it’s the same multiplayer game we’ve got, just new maps and modes, then I don’t want a sequel. Just keep building on this game.

For once things are relatively calm in Destiny, so I don’t feel the need to be on it all weekend long. So I grabbed Game Pass for $1 and downloaded The Outer Worlds. I absolutely adore Fallout New Vegas, and every review I read says this is a worthy successor.

The only thing that might - might - have gotten me into FO76 was the possibility of playing in a private world with my wife/friends.

Agreed on your first point. I don’t see any redemption in El Camino; just escape. He’s the only one to get out of this madness alive, which is a victory, but calling it redemption is a stretch.

“Not really correct at all.”

“Stay mad” is not a direct attempt at calling out how emotionally invested someone is. It’s a colloquial phrase at best. A carbon copy version of the phrase “stay pressed.” 

“Sounds like you’re making up talking points in your head, my dude.”

I’d argue that at the moment, that nuance doesn’t exist precisely because these conversations are sidelined. There is no nuanced conversation about how white/cishet/thin/male cosplayers, writers, artists, etc. can or should portray PoC/LGBTQ/plus-sized/female-or-other-gendered characters. The conversation begins and…

As if cosplay was entirely divorced from media and culture? Give me a break. These are characters from media, characters that come from a narrative and have their own narrative, that are a part of popular culture.

Had she done Pyke as any other race, she’d have been accused of racial/cultural erasure. 

Well thats just not true. Theres the taken, there’s the guardians that fell to darkness. We know there are others. There is the entire black garden.

You’ve pointed it out without support. And you lean heavily on sword logic, only really employed by the Hive, who are not the only forces of The Darkness.

Do...do you seriously not understand the concept of death? That some could be taken to fill the perfect society and the rest could literally be killed?

Nope. Calus accepts that the end of the all things is coming, and that nothing can stop it. He simply feels it his divine right to be the last being alive to witness it.

“That presumes that the perfect shape requires everyone to be taken.

“No I suggested a way to populate a civilization with something that was not life. Not that the Darkness wanted to take the universe. Those are two entirely different things.” 

“Who said The Darkness wanted to Take the entire universe? You’re operating on a number of assumptions here. One of those being that The Darkness could have just taken the entire universe if it wanted to. Even if it wanted to it may not be able to itself. Even the Traveler can’t do everything itself, it has its own…

Destiny 2. Hoping to knock out the last encounter of Garden of Salvation on Saturday. The first three encounters were shockingly easy. My normal raid group did them blind on launch day, then brought me and another new person in for a fresh run. We beat the first two encounters on the first try, and made it to the…

“I’m really trying to understand what you’re attempting to say as it doesn’t exactly make sense or track with what we know... The Deep dealt with the Worm Gods, who dealt with the Hive. Then Auryx killed Akka and dealt with The Deep.”
