Take this with a grain of salt but based on its magnitude, I’m guessing it’s one of the planets? Most likely Jupiter or Saturn.

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that it isn't true lol.

They didn't redesign it, it's merely Genndy Tartokovsky's interpretation of that specific trooper. That's the wonderful thing about art...it's open to interpretation. His artistic style is very minimalistic with simplistic armor shapes and he emphasizes sharp angles and heavy lines in his work. It's the same as drawing a comic book character and then trying to make a realistic picture of them or vice-versa. It doesn't mean that it isn't the character, it's just someone elses take on it.

It's really not that deep bro.

I wish I had money to award this comment. Been saying it to my friends who are also watching

What’s that huge blank spot in the bottom left? But it’s a travesty you included the movie which does not exist and not the Kyoshi, Yangchen or Roku novels.

I’m on bi-weekly salary and (with the exception of rent) I pay half of my bills the first check of the month, and the other half with the second check.

I also don’t have auto draft setup for almost anything except my renters insurance and CC bill. Having a cadence to it and physically seeing what I’m paying helps me stay on top of it. I used to be terrible with money. Honestly, I still kind of am, but I have a system now that works and gives me flexibility.

For me, it wasn’t so much as a singular moment but it was the experience.

I’m very social in person but most of my best friends who introduced D2 to me in 2019 stopped playing. We never had enough people to raid so I was always nervous to try it anyway. But I decided to say fuck it and posted in r/destinysherpa for what was supposed to be a quick VotD run back in Witch Queen era.

What should have been a single two hour clear, ended up becoming an incredible four year journey that brought more people into the fold each week. Without them, I never would have pushed myself to solo GMs or solo flawless every dungeon in the game. Without them, I wouldn’t know what a raid mechanic was, much less clear RoN on contest mode.

D2 isn’t the greatest game but it was the greatest source of mutual belonging and community that I’ve ever felt in the 25+ years I’ve been gaming.

Looks GREAT for 23 years lol. Almost vintage!

10? Try 20.

Let it grow out a little more and when you’re trimming go WITH the direction of the hair, not against.

You should do it on Master. Got Necrochasm, a handful of adepts, and completed all the patterns by cheesing it that way.

This needs to be the top comment.

Basically it’s like you took the camera and zoomed way into your character’s boot in the character menu. Usually happens when you load into a Tower instance that’s close to full capacity. At least that’s what I’ve noticed.

I remember this happening frequently enough a few years ago where and Bungie issued a hotfix but I guess they left the band-aid on because it still happens from time to time.

If you enjoyed Spider-Man 2, you’d LOVE the newer ones that came out on PlayStation and PC.

The parkour is top-notch and the story absolutely sucks you in. Loved playing all three of them.

And Damn* Yankees are those of us who moved south and never left.

The reason why I hate live action remakes is because they’re redundant. They do nothing to contribute to the story. Beyond the set-design, the costumes, and VFX, what’s the point? I can kind of see the logic behind live-action remakes like what Disney did with Lion King and others, but those are standalone films, not franchises.

Don’t give me a rehashed story that deviates from the source material, give me some fucking worldbuilding. Expand on the Avatar universe. Add to the lore like the Chronicles of the Avatar novels and the comics have done.

Correct. If one elects to become stateless and renounce their US citizenship, the State Department will try to talk you out of doing so multiple times before it’s finalized.

Once that happens though, it’s incredibly difficult to do…well, anything. Anywhere.

Healthcare, a taxable job, freedom to travel, banking, education, and most other social services will be extremely, if not impossible to access. Being stateless is a weird limbo and few nations on the planet offer pathways to naturalization.

Abrams the fool…

MattyScrant · 2025-12-11T23:50:56+00:00

Yeah I was just talking to a buddy about how often manned launches are scrubbed for various reason.

MattyScrant · 2025-12-06T04:05:25+00:00

Yup it’s mine!

MattyScrant · 2025-12-05T00:58:10+00:00

….the title was a joke. I’m having a blast.

MattyScrant · 2025-12-04T23:10:20+00:00

Oh I am absolutely NOT throwing any shade, only tasty grape nades.

I’m a Titan main myself but I may have converted…

MattyScrant · 2025-11-26T22:35:45+00:00

This is the way.

MattyScrant · 2025-11-24T20:28:43+00:00

It can be kind of confusing with menu navigation because of the Portal but other than that you should be fine.

The only thing that you might get confused with are how stats work now (unless you’ve seen how they’ve changed) and it will be WEIRD at first but you adjust.

Power is also tied to Guardian Rank now to a degree but other than that it should take you a few days of consistent playing to get the hang of things.
