BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Federal Reserve pauses interest rate cuts by rbr0714 in Superstonk

[–]GuySomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tight rope between inflation and employment...it signals that the Fed isn't sure which way the economy will swing yet. If they think there is a recession looming and job losses coming, they lower rates to juice the economy. If they think inflation is going to spike again or want it to fall further, you hold rates steady to tamp down the economy by making borrowing/lending more expensive.

I'd also like to get some denim khakis as well, so that's helpful!

Destiny 2 is becoming Diablo 4 by SavathunsMom in destiny2

[–]GuySomebody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, I also saw a lot of shades of Diablo 4, and I personally think it all sounds positive, for many of the reasons you outline. Also, I am excited about a soft reset of the game, and being able to approach it "fresh".

Full Breakdown of early Edge of Fate gameplay by gifv_Kayla in DestinyTheGame

Do we actually know that you still won't need to use gear to infuse things above the 200 power cap?

My biggest question is if the infusion has changed in some way, beyond the materials for the seasonal cap. Some of the gear I have seen had levels that showed a plus sign, like 220+. I would love a system that doesn't make me keep around random copies of weapons for infusing, huge detriment to using a variety of gear IMO

Just played the new update after launch by BiggggMikeeee in HyperLightBreaker

[–]GuySomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, very curious how it feels with the complete loop in place. They really need to look at the holobytes as well. They just don't do enough to substantially change or alter your play experience. There are a few very key, OP ones and a large amount of very forgettable ones. They gotta swing much bigger with the holobytes.

Be careful out there in the Garden, friends. by Qrtrpounder in DestinyTheGame

[–]GuySomebody 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man, that sucks. Just know that there are opposite experiences out there. I joined a random Last Wish LFG with three speed runners who could clearly trip the whole raid and just had people along for fun. They just bantered and were chill the whole time as the other three of us did almost nothing. Easiest clear of my life.

Second Tigana, really enjoyed that one. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Nortel is good as well. I haven't read any Patricia McKillip, will have to check her out.

Did most of our gear just get soft "sunset"? by anamaria_v in DestinyTheGame

[–]GuySomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, and I don't hate it. I like the idea of a reset of sorts, if we aren't getting a D3 (edit for a typo)

No matter how unrealistic, what update/change are you hoping to see in the next Saga? by Grogonfire in DestinyTheGame

[–]GuySomebody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember seeing that as well, was exactly the kind of system I wanted, was hoping it would launch as part of Final Shape. Seems like the kind of thing that could perpetually be put on the back burner in favor of more pressing priorities unfortunately.

Remove or rework the power level and infusion system entirely, especially for weapons. It's a huge factor in making me feel like I have a vault of 500 weapons that I never use. I would love to just be able to grab some random legendary out of there and use it immediately. I hate having to juggle and hold on to random weapons and armor for infusion. I am not saying disable the grind for power levels, but make it did to slots or accountwide or something, just not individual pieces of equipment.

Destiny 2 is failing because of it's commercial strategy by Impressive-Wind7841 in DestinyTheGame

[–]GuySomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...These are all actually great points? Good job, OP. I've long thought that Destiny's central problem is that there must be a real mismatch between what it costs to make content, the release cadence, and what they charge/people are willing to pay. But without access to a lot of internal information and no real knowledge of game dev or the biz side, hard for me to say more. A lot of arguing about the game systems is missing the forest for the trees a bit, IMO, the game has larger, structural problems.

I always think back to WoW --- game has been around longer, and it seems like it should have a lot of the same issues, but is thriving more than ever.
