Now that Destiny is officially complete, I finally wrote my review on steam. I hope you read it,
"After spending well over 10,000 hours in the franchise, it's finally time to write my review. The saying โI wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them,โ couldn't be truer for my time in Destiny. When I think about legendary games that etched themselves into history, they typically mastered one core experience. Skyrim was one of the most captivating single-player RPGs ever, Counterstrike perfected the competitive tactical shooter formula and World of Warcraft is the staple of timeless MMOs. Somehow, Bungie created a formula that blended the strengths of multiple genres into one seamless, unforgettable masterpiece. On top of being the smoothest and visually stunning FPS of all time, Destiny also tells mesmerizing stories, challenges you to overcome intricate endgame raids & dungeons and delivers a world class PvP arena through The Crucible. And that's only scratching the surface. Over the years, Bungie continued to release innovative playlists and activities, whether that's Trials of Osiris, the weekly competitive tournament bearing some of the game's greatest rewards, Gambit, Destiny's take on hybrid PvEvP combat or Onslaught, the challenging horde mode that tested your best character builds and much, much more.
This incredible depth of experiences created a powerful connection between players, their Guardians, and the community itself. Every journey you embarked on added to both your Guardianโs arsenal and the stories you carried with you. From earning your first set of gear during the campaign, to completing a Nightfall for your first exotic armor piece, to conquering your first raid and finally landing the perfect god roll, your Guardian truly became more than just a character on a screen. And through its endless variety of experiences, Destiny created a world where friends from all walks of life could play together. There's never been such a connected, passionate community that can jump from casual story beats to the sweatiest of challenges, while crafting a lifetime of memories.
Yes, Destiny has had its off moments, most notably the "vaulting" of paid content, a fragmented onboarding experience and an abundance of tech debt that caused quite a few "one step forward, two steps back" moments. But the good times vastly outweighed any and all of the hiccups throughout the franchise. If you're considering purchasing Destiny, I couldn't recommend it more, even in this era without new releases. The game as is stands will provide countless hours of exhilarating content well worth the purchase price.
Despite Destiny coming to an end, I will remember it forever. The thrill of day one raids, the endless hours of Iron Banner mayhem, the rewarding grinds in Grandmaster Nightfalls, I can go on and on. Thank you Bungie for creating such an impact on my life. Per Audacia Ad Astra."

Because this is reality and not a hoax, you donโt just land on the Moon on the very first flight with new equipment. So, just like the last time we went and eventually landed, NASA build up to it.
Artemis I = uncrewed test
(Just like Apollo 4 and Apollo 6)
Test the rocket.
Test reentry.
Prove the system works.
Artemis II = crewed lunar flight
(Just like Apollo 8)
First crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit.
Navigate to the Moon.
Enter lunar orbit.
Operate in deep space.
Return safely at lunar reentry speeds.
This isnโt new. Itโs how you donโt kill astronauts.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap โ astronauts on Mars.
"YOUR ISP CAN SEE YOUR TRAFFIC, USE A VPN"
What they actually mean:
Yes โ your ISP sees:
Every domain you visit (e.g. twitter[.]com)
How much data you're sending/receiving
Your real IP address
Timing & patterns (can figure out habits even without content) sold/used for ads/profiling.
But NO โ with HTTPS:
They CANNOT see exact page (/login vs /profile), passwords, messages, or content inside encrypted connections.
VPN fixes the domain/IP visibility by routing everything through their encrypted tunnel (ISP only sees Proton's server IP).
But now you trust Proton instead (no-logs audited is good, but still a shift).
HTTPS protects content. VPN protects metadata + location.
@Julia_CaSsian I know it's coming. I know with every post...yet here I am clicking on the damn thing video just to see what I was expecting. Bravo. Bravo.
