I don’t thing Destiny ever really captured that classic MMORPG feel that those games did. (Note, I am NOT saying D2 isn’t an MMO).

Yeah, it just seems like the assumption of “we can make a console game that people will log into and play every single day for years and years” is a flawed one. Even games with a looong tail like Diablo 2 tend run out of rope with individual users when they get frustrated with something or they run out of things to do.

I’m a guy with an Xbox and PS5 both next to my TV. The people pushing the “Microsoft Bad” narrative only have one of those next to their TV. I’ll let you guess which one.

I’m not sure why they would agree to sell the company if independence was their top priority. It seems inevitable that their owner would eventually want more control over their investments. If Bungie ever makes another single-player game, Sony will require it be a PS exclusive and no amount of “independence” will chang…

So Bungie joined sony with the promise of independence and that everyone would keep their jobs.

Destiny 2 is six years old.

They charge for yearly expansions (it is NOT a F2p game)

Seems wild to me that they tied future control of the company to the performance of a six year old game.  A game that has already have notables ups and downs.

Bungie has proven they can’t handle Destiny so many times already. It really has been a franchise that’s full of issue. From Destiny 1 being a flop and dieing super quickly, to Destiny 2 being a total mess.

Confusing expansions, excessive amount of currencies and microtransactions. One of the worst crimes of all was…

Destiny 2 is six years old. Most people have moved on to something else. Make a new IP or Destiny 3 at this point.

Restaurants in the US break all kinds of labor laws. Long shifts, no breaks, work but clock out early to avoid overtime, etc. At least that was my experience in the world of high end luxury restaurant service: P.F. Chang's! (That's a joke! Well, not the first part).

Me! On my way home, I’ll periodically pick up a burrito at the Chipotle near Davis Square where I transfer from the T to my bus. There are even a number of excellent locally owned restaurants nearby where I could get a significantly better meal for a comparable price. I feel like I should be ashamed of myself, but…

The saddest part of Perdita’s listing isn’t mentioned in the post above, so here’s the last sentence:

“Suzie was assaulted at a party and is a victim of rape. The police took a look at what she was wearing and noticed that the high school football team was hosting the party and they are all from at least upper middle class, white families. They have a backlog of rape kits, anyway. Which of the probable suspects will…

Right?! It could have used DNA from a hair sample found at the scene of just any old crime! It could have been a question about paternity! (Though comparing parent-child DNA is admittedly different than matching sperm cells. But still.) It could have not had a cute little “story” attached to it, and simply asked…

I would accept that if felon didn’t explicitly mean that someone had been convicted of a crime. You’re not a felon until you’ve been convicted, and very few rapists ever see a courtroom (or an interrogation room), let alone a conviction. (The question, obviously, misuses “felon” as well, unless all three suspects have…

AND this question could be re-written so easily so as to not cause a problem:

Aside from the inappropriate question, it’s not exactly challenging to determine that Suspect 1 is the rapist.

There are so many possible test problems that could be written suitably for a high school (biology? criminology? What the hell was this class?) exam, without going to semen samples and rape.
