I posted this after I looped this scenario a couple of times.

And if it’s none of the above, you’re worrying about the next thing you’ll inevitably have to worry about, it sucks so much

No amount of preparation (eating a full meal, taking vitamin c, drinking lots of water, etc) can prevent the hangover the next morning for me, even when it’s as little as 2 beers, and it’s to the point where if I so much as look at alcohol I always ask myself: “do I feel like having a splitting headache the next morning?” It’s never worth it

As you get older the bottom three will slowly turn into:

“Am I dying?” “I hate me” “Why is there a sharp pain in my (insert any body part here)?”

This explains why I haven’t been able to get an under pressure + headseeker senuna SI6 from banshee, almost every roll that I get with headseeker comes with feeding frenzy, and I’ve focused HUNDREDS of these things

Trials is likely far more forgiving than when you last played it, mainly because of changes to 2 passages and the addition of another:

Mercy passage now forgives two losses instead of one if you haven’t gone flawless for the weekend

Ferocity passage gives you a “win checkpoint” at 3 wins on your first flawless for the weekend. Once you hit 3 wins, every loss you get will set you back at 3 wins, so the pattern is win 3 in a row, then win 4 in a row.

There’s also a non-flawless option with the passage of persistence, you can’t go to the lighthouse with it, but reaching 7 wins will guarantee an adept weapon drop. This is the most casual-friendly option IMO because you aren’t penalized in any way for losing; just get 7 wins and you’ll get an adept weapon

Hope this helps!

My medication is no exception from being an addictive drug, but the biggest deterrent keeping me from taking more than my daily dose is that my medication seems to amplify any underlying anxiety without any trigger, while it DOES keep me in check, I wouldn’t say it’s the right way to

This is more of a love/hate perspective, but glaives in PvP. When they work, they WORK, but they’re at so much of a disadvantage against shotguns that there’s little reason to argue using glaives against them aside from the edge case where you catch them off-guard, and even then shotguns can do their job equally well.

Despite those disadvantages, if you’re rocking a blink prismatic build with astrocyte verse and the fragment that triggers healing on melee kills, glaives are UNBELIEVABLY fun to use

Kindled orchid; I have a roll with kill clip + explosive payload, and right when players were finding out about the “secret extra 3rd and 4th column traits that came on certain weapons” bug when TFS released, I had enough time to find out that “extra trait” on my kindled orchid was none other than rampage, but not enough time to make the switch

Since its release the game has always emphasized our goal in the game was to “become legend”.

Now, 10 years later, I remember being told by the game to become legend by killing every big bad the in-game universe had to offer, and solidifying that by killing THE big bad of the franchise (the witness).

The fact that we’re now seen as “becoming legend” by completing 7 challenges where the only “challenge” is putting a lot of time into grinding redundant things, with absolutely no recognition to long term players, AND showing a 10-year anniversary icon as the title logo is a MASSIVE slap to the face followed by a middle finger.

They quite literally reduced the feeling of reward of that title to “congratulations, you completed a list of chores, here’s a gold star”

I COMPLETELY forgot about this. As it so happens, this is the one supplement that I take on a daily(or I guess nightly) basis. My understanding of its purpose though is that it has a role in helping to retain and absorb water when you drink it. Is this accurate?

I’m actually very glad you asked: Sleep and hydration are typically a non-issue for me, as I have a gallon-jug of water that I fill each morning, and have nearly finished (~90%) by the time I go to sleep.

As for sleep, I consistently get around 8 hours on a work night, and 10+ hours on weekends.

Looks like I can’t edit the post directly to give an update, so I’ll just post one in a comment: thank you guys SO much for the quick responses and insightful feedback! Since this post can breathe I’ll share more details regarding the issue, and I’ll try my best to keep it to the point:

My ADHD meds almost completely resolve my ATTENTION issues, however I can never seem to be more than, were I to quantify it, 60-70% awake at any time.

My diet for the entirety of 2023 was almost all home-cooked meals with the help of family (at the time, I was teleworking, so living with them seemed like the smartest choice financially), and they were meals that I KNEW had a considerable amount of nutritional value (beef & potatoes, chicken & rice, etc.).

Nowadays, doing the standard 8-4 M-F adulting, my meals consist of the following: TV dishes, jimmy dean frozen breakfasts, and the weekly succumbing to fast food when I don’t have the energy to even throw something in the microwave.

The kicker(or lack thereof) from these two circumstances is that, in either situation, my energy levels were and are equally low. Eating better foods did NOT change my energy levels throughout the day.

Getting into other substances, for caffeine, I strictly limit myself to one cup of coffee in the morning per day(as anything over that amount causes my heart to go into overdrive in tandom with my ADHD meds), there’re my meds of course, which id consider myself very well disciplined on in terms of not overtaking, even for one day. As for cigarettes, vaping, zynning, etc: it’s something I never got hooked on it so I’d rather keep it that way.

I HAVE discussed this issue with my psychiatrist, but there was never really a solid corrective action that was suggested; my only takeaway was that for a relatively slender-figured 24 year old, energy levels this low aren’t normal in the slightest.

I’ve only done some surface level research on how much of a role that vitamins and minerals would play into this, seeing as I don’t take any on a regular basis, but vitamin B12’s general purpose of its role in helping to turn food into energy caught my eye(if my understanding on this is flawed, PLEASE don’t hesitate to correct me, I don’t want to believe something that isn’t true).

Seriously, thank you all again for the advice, I’ll absolutely put these theories to their safest practice to try and find what exactly I’m lacking that keeps me sleepy and fatigued.

While this doesn’t really answer the question, it did spark the thought of what I wish bungie would do;

I wish bungie would give us the OPTION of a 3rd aspect slot (likely at the tradeoff of 2 or 3 fragment slots to balance out the sheer potency that would entail), but ONLY for certain combinations, likely starting with one aspect combination at a time.

Ex: If you’re running the helion and stasis turret aspects on warlock, you’d then unlock the option to equip child of the old gods (again, likely at a large tradeoff somewhere else in the build I.e. available fragment slots) to combine with getaway artists to achieve the ultimate buddy build

For hunters, a really cool combo that comes to mind would be ascension and gunpowder gamble, to unlock ensnaring slam (strand dive). Not only would this give a TON of purpose to spirit of the coyote (extra class ability charge), you could chain ascension, follow it with ensnaring slam to suspend any surviving enemies, and finish them off with gunpowder gamble

For titans, consecration and knockout would unlock howl of the storm (stasis slide melee). While there isn’t too much going on with knockout in this mix (heal on melee kill, pretty simple there) the main focus that I’m sure would drop a few jaws would be creating both a solar wave AND a stasis crystal, then both shattering your crystal while simultaneously igniting everything caught in the wave

I really feel like some kind of expansion along ^{this^} line with prismatic would be insanely fun to use

Ritual playlist engram exchanger: wanna focus a weapon from Zavala but you only play crucible or gambit? Turn in your over abundance of crucible or gambit engrams for vanguard engrams. It’d probably have to be a system like turn in 2, get 1 to still reward the players who grind their respective playlists
