I've lost 105 lbs in the last 12 months. Clap for me. Thank you.

215 this morning, we're so back.

Activision would've given us Destiny 3

The Witness got the last laugh

Any boomers wanna retail raid 1 night a week on Sundays? 🤔

You are weary... weary of begging for a companion's favor in a sea of faces?
Indeed, trust should not be a calculated gamble.
True bonds should be the gratuitous gravity between souls.

I shall rewrite this cruel rule.
From this moment forth, every new bond, every new ally...
Shall gather by your side, freely.
This is my reward for your loyalty, O Companion Mine.

[Destiny: Rising @_DestinyRising]

I am Njorun.
Look at me. In this world woven of data and code, tell me...
What is it that you truly desire in the depths of your heart?

Not just victory in a game, but something... to fill the void.
Follow me. Let your desires echo across this platform.
Let more souls make the wish that changes a lifetime.

O Dreamer Mine.

Former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan reveals why he left Blizzard

“What ultimately broke me..I got called in to the CFO’s office..he sits me down..gives me a date..Overwatch has to make x amount in 2020..every year after that it needs a reoccurring revenue of x..if it doesn’t..we’re gonna lay off a thousand ppl”

@joegoroth squad up

[Matt Rodriguez @flameirl]

@DestinyBulletn finally.

[Matt Rodriguez @flameirl]

@Destiny2Team The enemies were skulls instead of swords ... Oops?

The raid didn't drop powerful or on a tier that matched your lost sector loot... Oops?

Like what is even going on here

[Matt Rodriguez @flameirl]

Bungie is about to get a wake up call when they see the player counts after the raid.

This is the most disgusting poorly thought out power grind I think I've seen in any game ever to be honest

What's the point in grinding it after the raid lol

[Matt Rodriguez @flameirl]

Massive L to not just let the RoTN weapons convert to T4/5 EoF weapons.

The layup was right there and yet we get mid weapons in mid content with mid loot structure.

Unlucky

Somehow the final two months of Heresy made me less excited for this expansion.

Worst reward-time investment proposition arguably ever considering the circumstances. There are like dozens of mmos and rpgs to look at that do pre-launch events correctly yet somehow we got this.

@Mendo bro I woke up to a 3 hr history of star wars this morning somehow, your algorithm clearly has its own ideas for you though :D

@evanf1997_ the phone apps going to make more money in its first 2 months than D2 has made in the last 12.

We're mobile gamers now man. lock in

@joegoroth Where does systems design fall into this? I feel like a lot of games have gotten so lost with systems issues that they'd greatly benefit from paying more people to strictly pitch ideas and strategy.

The best characters, abilities, and loot are absolutely nothing with bad systems
