Players expecting Bungie to cater so a small subset of players who don't put the game down (relatively speaking), is not only unreasonable, it's also impossible. Expecting them to build a game for someone who treats it like a full time job is just not realistic.

If anyone has burnt through the content and run out of enjoyable things to do then just walk away and put the game down.

Coming from a player who has fluctuated between hardcore and casual since D1 beta....and someone who has been upset about content droughts in the past. But sometimes it's healthier just to put the game down and experience life outside the screen

EDIT: This post was not made to say that either side (casual/hardcore) doesn't matter. I wish that everyone could be happy and entertained all the time, but once again, that's just not a reasonable request. I love this game as much as anyone else, but we all need to set reasonable expectations (just like in life) and play/appreciate the game for what it's worth.

That's right. Taking a bite out of a freshly opened KitKat Bar is more satisfying than splitting up the little sticks. If you open up a wrapper and start breaking these wafers apart, you're not only making more work for yourself, you're ruining a perfectly good candy bar. Biting down into these connected pieces of chocolate gives you the added texture bonus of biting through the crevice between the connected mounds and then being able to snap them apart in your mouth with your tongue. I will not hide this anymore, I don't care how much my fiance threatens to leave me and I don't care if my children call another man their father. This is the superior KitKat eating way and you all are doing it wrong.

It was a tack-xing experience.

I’m going to get downvoted to hell and back but this post needs to happen....

I keep seeing so many posts the last couple weeks about how bad this game is and how different it is from when people started playing it. That the game is turning into a FOMO type game and that people keep chasing everything, cost of Eververse ornaments is crazy, nothing to do, etc. etc. Fact is, some Destiny players NEED to just take a break from this game. You'll be fine. Trust me.

I keep seeing this FOMO word being thrown around and it only applies to people that seriously! need to take a break. If you've ever had kids you'll understand that FOMO is incredibly strong in children. They try to stay up as late as their parents, they never want to leave a room that's got action going on in it. And hilariously enough, kids will take the quickest bathroom breaks you've ever seen. Hell, that might not even wipe to try and get back into the action of everything. Take a break. Its unhealthy

I'm a hard core Destiny player since D1 launch and there's TONS of things in this game I just don't have time to get, and that's fine. I'm fine. It will be OK. Instead, I focus on the things I really want and chase after that.....not everything because that's impossible.

If you're burned out, play something else. Chasing everything, not only in the game but in life in generally, is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Bungie has created a fantastic game (my favorite of all time, actually) and video games are a form of entertainment. If Destiny is not entertaining you, you should question why you still play it instead of finding entertainment in something else.

Remember, it's OK to take a break.

Edit: it appears people are taking my post negatively when I was just trying to say to take a break if Destiny wasn’t being entertaining anymore and more of a chore. That’s all. I understand the frustrations but sometimes it’s good to just take a break and enjoy something else.

Edit: thx for the platinum!

War Pigs intro/solo - Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AkYDNBPz88

Hey all. Took a two week break since the last entry to work on a little side project. Canadian top 30 rock riffs of all time. Now that that's completed I'm back to the list in earnest. A little opinion piece on the origins of heavy metal is included following the solo if you care to check it out.

I've got some Joe Satriani with Satch Boogie up next on the list at # 55. Nearly have that one in the bag at this point. A lot of fun to play. Should be getting myself back on schedule with this list next week.

Thanks as always for watching and all the kind words!

Throwaway for anonymity.

I (20s F) started a new office job a little over a month ago. Hours of 9-5, pay for 7.5 hours so there’s no pay for a 1/2 hour break. For the first while, I was not taking any break and leaving at 4:30. My supervisor pulled me aside after a couple weeks of that and said they would prefer I not do that unless I had an appointment as they wanted their employees to be there during the 9-5 period.

To me that kind of sucked but was fair enough. If they didn’t want me to leave until 5, I can respect that. So I started leaving at the typical time and taking 1/2 hour break in the day sometime between 12 and 2 instead.

Today at about 1:15 I was heading out the door for lunch when my supervisor stopped me and said she had a task she needed me to do. I told her I would do it once I got back as I was going for lunch. She looked confused. She said she thought I didn’t take a lunch break. I told her I wasn’t before as I was leaving early instead but as they didn’t want me leaving early, I wasn’t and was taking a 1/2 lunch at some point instead.

She said she didn’t know that my not leaving early meant I would be taking breaks in the middle of the day instead. I told her legally I was entitled to that. She said yes she knew that. We stared at each other saying nothing for a good 20 seconds more before I finally said “okay well just leave those documents on my desk and when I get back I’ll complete them for you.” And I left.

My supervisor has been somewhat cool to me for the rest of the day. When I said by to her at 5, she didn’t even smile or say bye back, just “okay.”

Am I somehow the ah here?

Background info: We have been dating for 3 years, living together for 2. I [28] am 7 years younger than him, which is relevant later because I have fewer years spent progressing my career / earning potential and building savings.

When we moved in together, he made ~140k and I made ~90k. We eventually got raises and he made 180k and I made 110k. We live in San Francisco and it is expensive. I had gone through an expensive career change and moved here with a much lower salary than I had before and I work for a startup. He did the same thing 8 years ago (when he was my age now) and back then was making ~70k, and he talks about how much budgeting he had to do to survive. Now that we have been dating for a while he often forgets completely that I am 7 years behind him in my career and I'll need to remind him now and then.

For our entire relationship he has been very very pro 50/50 for everything - chores, expenses, etc. This is just his personality in general about everything - everything should be fair and equal. I am generally more "today you, tomorrow me", I don't need to feel that chores are split evenly, etc. In fact I think it is healthy in a relationship to want to go above and beyond for your partner just because, do surprise favors, etc - without keeping track and expecting anything in return (as long as it is generally give and take, and not all give). On paper he agrees with this too.

So when we moved in together (which he originally pushed for as it was a bit earlier than I wanted) he wanted to split rent and expenses 50/50, and I just could not afford that without living with roommates. I told him what I could afford, and we talked about the standard of living he and I both wanted, and we compromised on splitting rent based on proportion of income, and splitting all utilities and bills 50/50. Our rent is $3400.

This comes out to me paying 43% of monthly expenses, and him paying 56%, as our monthly expenses are about 3/4 of what rent is.

Now even before he quit his job, this was a small source of resentment for both of us.

• He still feels as though he is "supplementing my lifestyle and I get the luxury of living in an apartment above my means at his expense" without a full 50/50 split
• I still feel that we are not fair in terms of savings, as he is pocketing more a lot in savings every month while I feel I am struggling to try to save money.
• I feel a good portion of our monthly expenses come from him, and everything we plan

I’m not a pro level programmer, I’m new and learning and find this to be very helpful. Just wanted to share.

So IF this does happen, what legally happens to your firearm? Like how screwed are you? Or are you in some kind of grey zone?

That 99 was the final hit on the nail. It agitated me so much. I try not to bitch about stuff since it's bound to be fixed anyway. But this "feature" has done more demage than any bug. Who would have thought that being held back if a bunch of people not play a bunch of time in the same place would be a bad "feature". P.s. intstead of nurfs and just buff everything up. 30/40 warframes are useless in any difficult situation. Vinari nerf was stupid. Very few used her anyway but now we are back to using the same old same old. Edit: Thank you guys for the response and to all those who are saying that just don't join the flotilla at 1.5 hours left. What if i have only that time...1.5 hours to play. I can not spare 4-6 hours daily to fit in that time window when the murex raid just started. This timing is the main issue. It is forcing me to play according to it's schedule and not on mine. Kuva liches and railjack were far from satisfactory at launch. Tired of being a beta tester for Warframe. Lets see after a few months.

Man, I have enjoyed my splitboard this year. Especially so after the resorts closed early. Unfortunately, medical facilities and services are being taxed heavily by this virus. Even more so up in small mountain communities. We've had a good year, but it might be time to call it a season and not put ourselves in a position where we might need rescue or emergency care. Yes it sucks and yes it is sad, especially given how much snow is still up there, but we should do the right thing and just look forward to next season.
