10 Year plan. That is what they said. This game was designed with that in mind and they don’t need to take anything away. They chose to.

But you’re still playing Destiny 2 because Destiny 2 is everything you’re playing. How it’s constructed, the game modes, the enemies—that’s Destiny 2. That analogy doesn’t work because Destiny, and especially Destiny 2, is a loot shooter/MMO with an ever-changing world.  That’s what MMOs do. 

As far as everyone is…

It’s weird that people are acting as if Bungie is not going to be releasing new things throughout the year since, that’s kind of their thing now.

That’s a bad analogy because you’re still playing Destiny 2.

While I don’t have anywhere near the expertise you have, I do generally agree with you.  It did seem obvious to me that they were removing aspects of the game specifically so they can reintroduce them or significantly change.  And you’re definitely right that some of the “passionate” part of the base seem to…

Although I’d vote for a Republican before I voted for a Bernie/AOC “democratic socialist.”

white supremacy is anti-white.  At the end of the day it’s about preserving the status quo at all cost.  And if it means shooting a couple of white people--so be it.   Gotta crack a few eggs amirite?

Here’s the problem with that: we’re talking about a teen who went to a protest about police brutality armed with a weapon, in a context in which people are already nervous about public shootings.

We can go on and on about how “but open carry isn’t against the laaaw,” and I can point to you a number of fucked up laws…

it’s crazy how we have books and articles that explain to people who are younger about how much of a piece of shit Reagan was.

The problem is: using logics and facts against someone who believes in a flat earth or are a Republican Trumper misunderstands exactly why they believe what they do. It isn’t really just ignorance (though ignorance is very much a part of it), but it’s the need to feel special in an otherwise bland life. They want to…

wow. I love how apparently it’s totes okay to be a war criminal—SO LONG AS YOU’RE A WAR CRIMINAL FOR THE US OF A!!! FREEDUMB!!

Christ, dude.

haha wut. Even if you don’t believe that CIA started a crack epidemic specifically to fund right-wing death squads, there’s no discounting the fact that Reagan’s “War on Drug” absolutely decimated communities, ripping apart family members, and ultimately adding to the very problem it supposedly tried to fix. That’s…

Oh I know. For Republicans it’s all about projection of strength, and not, you know, actual strength. A lot of vague mentions of military might and nationalism, but not things that actually benefit the people.

Reagan’s ilk perpetuated the whole “Personal Responsibility” ethos precisely because it would dissuade anyone…

I wanna believe the poster is, like, 10, but I’ve been around the internet to know that doesn’t have to necessarily be the case.

Anyways. It’s not like anything that post says dismisses the fact that Reagan is a piece of shit. Even you compared him with other politicians, he, for a time, held the highest position of…

I think Call of Duty tends to try to have it both ways: It definitely trades in “War is hell” tropes, that maybe we’re not doing things for the right reasons, and the main characters are well-intentioned but damned souls.

wut.

Alternatively:

AH YEAH I’M SO LIBERAL AND PROGRESSIVE!!!

Ah yes, the “keep ur politics our of mah games.” And by politics, I of course mean anything that questions the rah rah America mentality that afflicts so many people in this country—that and women.

Ronald Reagan was a piece of shit towards anyone that wasn’t a straight white male.  Unless you thought the “War on Drugs”…
