I think the point is, it doesn’t have to just be for Excel anymore.

I can actually play hunt showdown on my 13" Ryzen framework laptop. That’s insane. This is saying it’ll be a lot better on the upcoming chips, that’s even more insane.

Well I can!

I think DOOM Eternal is my favorite in terms of sound design. I wish they’d make a co-op campaign DOOM game. I’m still a bit peeved that Bungie used what has to be a hedge trimmer for the chainsaw sword… That could’ve been a seriously mean sounding weapon, and I do like it, it just sounds … less terrifying than it should lol.

I’m with you on avoiding PvP these days. I mentioned in another comment I’m colorblind… and all the effects and stuff, I just can’t ever tell what’s going on and whether or not something is friendly or unfriendly. The amount of times I’ve literally walked into an enemy nova bomb or witherhoard AoE is … too high to count.

Props for attempting to solo dungeons, those are quite difficult… IIRC, I’ve come close to soloing spire of the watcher but the giant danger chicken at the end has prevailed. I can’t say I’m particularly excited to try and get that far solo again 😅

Yeah :/ The actual missions are good but all the “filler” is just … kinda disrespectful of our time/not particularly fun.

Like I will say, this expansion was significantly better than the strand one. The missions actually felt like they were significant, the areas were varried, they added some new enemy types, and they did a decent job of “sucking me into the story” that the strand campaign just couldn’t do.

That said, it kinda feels like they need to drop the “MMO” idea, add an actual global difficulty modifier, and then find a way to make enemies that are strong not just because they’ve got a lot of health and hit hard. I think DOOM and Remnant have done both of those things particularly well in their recent releases, it goes from “everything is really hard” to “it kinda feels like a dance as I slaughter everything in this general area” in both games once you get the cadence down/practice how to fight the event type enough.

The mission itself is really good. If you don’t have someone you know on mic it’s going to be a frustrating experience.

Yeah I’ve got a friend who was still very much into grinding out the game. He was the one encouraging me to do it because he wanted to unlock them. The unspecified requirements for unlocking the mission to begin with is where all the problems are coming in. Honestly it’s a major pain point with destiny in general. I wish they’d follow RuneScape’s lead and build an actual “quest list” that shows the content available, what you need to do to unlock the mission, and (if it’s something you’ve already done) gives the ability to look back and see what you did (so you can help friends).

After all that I’ve been doing the usual stuff, chasing rolls of guns, red borders, catalysts

Yeah the new grenade launcher, hand cannon, sword, and rocket launcher are definitely appealing to me.

I wish they’d dump more exotics and catalysts per expansion. One thing I did really enjoy for the first year or two was just finding more and more exotics and trying them out.

At this point I’ve got most of the exotics and most of the catalysts.

The actual unlocking process. I have no idea about farming additional drops (I have yet to unlock the ability).

I could definitely see grasp of avarice with some new folks being a fun time haha. That one was pretty great.

I wish I could get into Destiny PvP… I think it’s the colorblindness that screws with me. The abilities just result in so many colorful effects and I can’t see the red hints they add to say “danger” so it turns into “run away from every ability.”

I’ve finished most older content as well… I have nearly every exotic and every catalyst for it with the exception of raid content. My group of friends technically has enough people for a raid, but they’re never all on at the same time, and several folks are fairly casual gamers (which is fine, but makes difficult content like that extra difficult).

“Someone things I’m wrong, therefore I’m right.”

Yeah I’ve got literally nothing left to say to you.

Yeah, I only recently tried the spear myself, but that sucker FLIES!

a Democratic House Rep

You say that like there haven’t been thousands of house representatives that have predicted an election incorrectly (or like being a house representative gives some special insight).

This defeatist “Trump already won” stuff is driving me crazy.

Trump’s greatest strength is to push through with solidarity. Biden has a bad debate and “it’s all over, just give up if he doesn’t drop out guys.”

Even the US population is like 60-70% left leaning, it’s just that the left has lower voter participation rates.

Left leaning vs leftist is a much higher bar and I’d wager under 20% of the US (voting) population is leftist. That’s just based on my memory of how few leftist representatives we have in congress… Far from an exact science.

I am definitely a liberal, but I’m by no means a leftist.
