While normally in these circumstances I would say something about it barely being a day or two since the launch, and to chill until people figure it out... but 5 hours for PC and no complete on console definitely shows there’s something going on.

I think blank leaderboards give a pretty clear indication that it's actually quite difficult. 

This is the “Go Slow” update.

Radical idea: If you want a challenge, don’t use the powerful guns.

I largely agree with you, but my issue is still going to be this:

Crucible was never intended to be a skill-based, mlg-style pvp. If you remove perks from weapons in pvp, you’re going to see the population drop off the map. A large population of players grind raids, gambit, armories for weapons with ideal pvp loadouts. 

Outside the “fun police” mentality that Bungie is getting feedback for. It should be noted that while on the surface this seems just as a single pain point this is not the first time which is the bigger problem. In fact this about the 3rd time in Destiny 2 and it reoccurred in Destiny 1 as well. The launch of Destiny…

I know it seems fun to blaze through everything with broken weapons but in the same vein as that cringy twitter post about cheating yourself, it really is more fun to overcome a tougher obstacle with your friends than steamroll through it a hundred times.

People don’t steamroll the through content until after they get used to the encounter which is how it should be. 

It’s not fun to have progressed and to have that progress taken away from you artificially.

Their game design seems to trend to being the “fun police.” They’ve got a very narrow vision of their game and anything that falls outside of that is removed regardless of how much fun it is.

Welcome to the “That franchise didn’t do what I wanted it to do Fanboy Club.” The Last Jedi Haters and Snyder Cut believers have pissed all over the furniture, but I’m sure you’ll like it here, anyway.

WAHHHHHHHH MY BEDTIME STORY WAS NOT TO MY LIKING WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WAHHHHHH I COULD WRITE A BETTER ONE

I WON’T

BUT HEAR ME OUT: I COULD

I don’t like the execution, but if people didn’t think Dany would end up being the villain, they never understood the show they were watching.

Me too. Was this season and the last season a shit show? Yup. Does that mean that all the actors, all the directors, all the other crew members should go back and do their job again? No, because that’d be ridiculous.

Oh God, fuck this. I have my misgivings about it too, but I am so done with entitled dipshit fans like these.

I once got yelled at here for saying a large amount of gamergaters were alt-right. Looking at situations like this really validate my argument lol

The second I hear someone say the term ”SJW” unironically, I have stopped listening to them. Life is too short to waste on paranoid dipshits like that.

One of the most insightful things I’ve ever heard is that, to folks who occupy the majority status (white men), the push towards equality feels like a taking. Hence the kicking and screaming.

I really appreciate the vote of confidence, but I am far too lazy (in my personal life) to maintain any sort of regularly-updated blog.

...if I put the time into it that I put into commenting around the Gizmodo-verse, I could probably do it, come to that. >.<

Seriously, thank you for the kind words.
