Any minute now I'm going to wake up at 2 AM to this on TV and realize the last 20+ years was a dream…..any…minute….now…

@Separer took the original image and cranked the clarity to 100 in photoshop, adjusted a few values, added noise

when your toxic traits are isolation and avoidance but your love languages are physical touch and quality time

[Destiny 2 Team @Destiny2Team]

@nnarum We appreciate you - ALL of you.

Many of us on the team will be on the Tower on June 9 to visit Monument of Triumph with you.

While we're confident the servers won't crash, we've seen some posts floating around. Our Operations Center is prepared for the challenge.

There are things that this man has endured that no human should ever have to face because of a handful of unhinged people.

The fact that he returned to this community and took on that mantle of risk once again shows how much he truly cared about it all.

Thanks dmg. <3

[dmg04 @A_dmg04]

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Thank you to everyone who’s been sharing what Destiny means to them.

Passing these along to the team as they roll in. Photos, videos, art pieces, everything.

Your stories mean the world to all of us. Thank you.

happy memorial day

whats the ambulance for...

WHAT'S IT FOR?!

[PlayStation UK @PlayStationUK]

Somebody call an ambulance... but not for Triage. #Marathon

[I Am Fallout @falloutplays]

I've seen (& signed) the petition going around. But I think the much more powerful response if you're hoping for some kind of future for the franchise is:
Log on the week of June 9th.

Dont' get me wrong, Sony execs aren't gonna fall to their knees in tears and insta-green-light D3 or anything. But seeing SO many players out there logging on to give one last hurrah to the franchise that meant so much to them - it'll speak volumes in its own way.

At the very least, we'll have one more window of fun enjoying the last batch of new content in a game that meant so much to us. At best, it'll show how passionate the community still is, and just how badly so many of us want SOME kind of future for this franchise, no matter how long it might take to build.

I'll see you out there in June. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

@luciacrabs Saw them when the opened for The Rolling Stones back in 2019 :)

[Vauda ᛑᛗᛛ @xVauda]

damn no wonder this shit shut down if this was who was in charge what a fucking moron lmao

[pete parsons @pparsons]

bam!

[Luke Smith @thislukesmith]

At its best, content was a machine to create memories and friendships. No new content stings.

This pain is about losing a place where so many memories were made. It stings not because of what it was, but the realization of what it won't be.

[Vauda ᛑᛗᛛ @xVauda]

If I had a nickel for every time that I fell in love with a franchise by Bungie, having my own and other people's most memorable moments in gaming, only for them to fumble the franchise in the most devastating way, I'd have two nickels.

Ain't a lot. Weird twice.

[Vauda ᛑᛗᛛ @xVauda]

ps.

start a second youtube channel for your new content

[Gladd @Gladd]

As someone who took their channel full variety over 6 years ago (from Destiny) with relative success, I’m once again encouraging fellow Destiny creators to start making moves. Now. Don’t wait until June. Start NOW.

Where to go from here?

1) Find a new genre, game, or niche. This could be a lateral hop to another similar game, or a complete change in interest.

2) Go full variety. This is the harder path to take imo. Hopping between games will constantly divide viewers, outside of your regular diehards.

What to expect?

Expect a huge decrease in all metrics. It’s just… part of the reality of the game. You need to plan for this. You need to know it’s gonna happen. Don’t look at it as failing. It’s a transition. Make adjustments in your own life to accommodate. Focus on what you CAN control and stick to it. Look at it as an investment. You’re investing and costing resources into your brand now, to build up a different path for the future. Once things stabilize, holes will fill in again. It takes time.

How to do this without shitting your pants?

Be. Confident. Approach it with a leadership mentality. YOU are guiding the path. Don’t say things like “Maybe we’ll try this” or “Let’s see how it goes” or “What do you guys wanna see” etc etc. Take control of your content. Be passionate about what you’re doing. And lead the path. Think things like “This is where I’m excited to go” or “You guys are gonna love this” or “I’ve been loving this and y’all will too” etc etc. Be excited and get your community excited. Energy transfers over.

Anything else?

Find your thing. It may take some time. Each failed video is just a step closer to the next successful one. Image a version of you from the future tells you “Hey! Your 124th video/stream is the one that changed your career!” So if your first 50 vids/streams aren’t great, you’re just closer to that 124th.

Listen. There is no playbook for streaming and YouTube success. Not everyone is gonna make it. The best thing you can do is try. Things aren’t over. There’s just a current hurdle. Jump over that shit. But have a plan. Take care of yourself, your family, and anything yours. Life is a challenge. If it wasn’t, it’d be boring. I always tell my chat: “I’d rather be busy and stressed, than bored and depressed.”

Cheers, my friends.

[Vauda ᛑᛗᛛ @xVauda]

devastatingly vouch

[Smojii @SmojiiTTV]

Gonna have alot of destiny players looking for a new home.

Might I suggest another game that has a dodgey dev team that hates its players.

[Diffizzle @TooDiffizzle]

The loss of Destiny is something to me that feels incomprehensible and that I genuinely don't think I will be able to process for some time. I can't describe how disappointing it is to see a franchise I loved and was passionate about go out this way. Destiny deserved better.

goodnight sweet prince

[Vauda ᛑᛗᛛ @xVauda]

It's been an honour saving the galaxy with you Guardians.

[Canada @Canada]

Canada can be breathtaking. But even the Canadian Rockies have their limits. ⛰️

With AI, photos and videos can look real, even when they are not. #ThinkBeforeYouShare
