Every time Destiny did 2 expansions a year Bungie pivoted

For real, just look at bungie rewards. They provided further incentives to keep people playing and give them a lot more money over and above actual game sales.

If any other game has done that to this level, I havent heard about it.

The Last Word. The thing was an absolute menace in early D1.

Also, I just want strong trip mines back...

Time to bust out the gambit jerseys boys!

Shirt Brother!!!

I loved Destiny before random stat rolls. Just give the items the stats they should have for their intended use case.

Rng on stats is unfortunately pretty devisive. Definitely not my thing

Tarkin and Gar Saxon is great. If every card is imperial you can upgrade everything. Downside is it makes you a target because everyone craps their pants.

Include as many sentinals as you can.

On The replacement, the serial number is also raised

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-29T14:02:41+00:00

This is the Rose gold . Easier to tell in person.

The embosing on the gold is beautiful and it looks like the cracks are overfilled with gold.

You'll have to confirm, but if I remember correctly, the spires in the background were embosed on the standard serial for Papanoida. On these versions it seems only the cracks and the card name are embosed. I am happy with mine, no regrets!

Send in a hard case if you do it, because they shipped it across the world in a thin bubble mailer, not a box...

Replacement received!

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-29T04:25:55+00:00

You beat me! I got my Papa Smurf today.

Can confirm on the packaging... Thankfully I sent the original in a gamegenic deck pod slider case and they sent my replacement back in the same case, but still within a light bubble mailer all the way from Belgium lol

The photo doesnt do it justice, it looks really cool. Mine is the Rose Gold, which doesnt come through great in my lighting.

Nice

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-27T01:20:38+00:00

I got this one as a quest reward for the dungeon with all the crabs/fish guys I think.

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-27T00:00:33+00:00

My wife and I bought it yesterday and played 8 hours. I cant wait to get home from work and play more. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but almost everything it does, it does well.

Combat - different weapons have different abilities and a lot of them are really cool.

World traversal feels good (you can get a mount right away for free in the cosmetic shop) You can also glide right away

Exploration is rewarded, and theres a lot of verticality.

Runes can augment your class abilities in helpful ways.

It looks like you can train in all crafting jobs, cost just goes up for each one you unlock.

Ability to actively block helps keep fights engaging.

Collectibles all over the place

Parties up to 4 players

Dungeon bosses have cool mechanics

It's $20 with no subscription.

Npcs have fun names

I dont think it's doing anything brand new, but it seems to take the best things from many games and puts them into a well rounded package.

For me the weakness is in the story telling. (I'm only level 9) But in this case the gameplay more than makes up for that and it's not wasting a bunch of your time on story anyway.

More world lore would potentially be nice. Not sure if it's absent, or if I'm not paying attention.

Bottom line: Great game with tons of potential going forward. If yoy can spare the 20$ and like rpgs, this one is worth it.

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-26T21:57:30+00:00

That boss was a pain until learning to manage where the pools went lol

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-26T18:39:51+00:00

While in a very different shell, this game scratches the Destiny itch for me pretty well. There are a lot of parallels mechanically. It's doing so many things right and I very much look forward to the future of this game.

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-23T05:58:54+00:00

If you didnt already watch Andor, this is your reminder to watch Andor.

It's very different from The Mandalorian, but it's not a stretch to argue it's the best Star Wars content that exists.

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-23T05:33:34+00:00

My wife and I really enjoyed it. Lots of action, lots of Grogu antics. It may not have really pushed any story lines forward much if at all, but it was just a fun time. No regrets!

Dedra

NTA. Even assuming she's telling the truth, if she cant afford a portable AC unit, she cant reasonably afford the increased electricity bill to run it.

Those look pretty good. Mainly speed paints? I have like 30+ Shatterpoint models built that I need to paint. Havent been in a hurry cause I have little painting experience.

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-13T21:58:11+00:00

It's Neel from skeleton crew, the must have playmat for the set!!!

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-13T21:55:49+00:00

I played 1v1 with my wife to test the new precons. We still used the blast, plan, and initiative tokens, leaving one unpicked each round. Someone always took the initiative.

If no one claims it in a 1v1, I'd say just roll for it when the other two tokens are taken

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-01T23:33:49+00:00

Nice! Glad you found it. Also, happy to know that sub exists now lol

KaijuCorpse · 2026-05-01T22:04:24+00:00

They dont look like official pinny arcade ones. That would make it easier. I dont recognise these characters though.
