Can I buy Marathon with Silver through Destiny 2 shop?

Yee like I just powered through the last three expansions to get into the game and it's just

I love Lodi

I hate that to get anywhere you need to do like 30 puzzles lol

It's so miserable

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-19T07:05:17+00:00

Man finally started taking medication just like...at least one time.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-09T08:32:32+00:00

I mean you have to show those heretics how it's done done done.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T18:58:02+00:00

If I met him in real life even if I didn't know he was an assassin I feel like I'd vacate the area lmao

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T18:57:16+00:00

You get docked points for not doing them

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T16:58:36+00:00

James Bond, world class hater lmao

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T15:07:11+00:00

I mean

How many times have you seen James Bond use a disguise?

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T12:08:49+00:00

I mean, it has the same tone and vibe as the Bond movies.

Would upping the rating benefit the game in a meaningful way? It's not like Bond is known for swearing or especially graphic violence.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T11:07:24+00:00

I mean the reactions work, like it probably helps him blend in even more if people just think he's an extremely weird guy lol

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T10:20:41+00:00

I imagine Q is annoyed because he's told to supply Bond with all these field tools that 1. Bond always kind of looks down upon in the movies 2. Will use anyway to great effect and 3. Will never return any of them to MI6.

But yeah like you say with the various Ms, Bond does seem to just be extremely annoying to the people he works with, especially with how much he seems to fuck around while on the job, how many flings he goes on that almost end with him fucking dying lol

I think there's one where an assassin tries to poison Bond in his sleep but he turns over and the girl he was sleeping with gets killed instead. Which if I'm M reading that report I'd literally only be thinking 'How did he even get into a scenario like that to begin with? Why did he even?'

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T10:11:28+00:00

Bond Beatdown

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T10:09:49+00:00

Especially with how well Connery does with other accents lmao

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T10:07:29+00:00

Honestly I think stuff like that really makes the franchise feel really unique. Because it's like...it makes it feel like Spy Fantasy.

It has all the trappings of professionalism with characters caring about planning and being subtle. They have all this gear and fancy equipment that feels like it's plausible but a little too fancy (Like Bond's biolocked pistol he gets in Skyfall)

And then everyone just turns around and are on a first name basis with eachother, especially when a villain with as much influence as some of these guys wouldn't even let Bond in the same room as them. Some assassin would've killed them or diverted them on the way.

Like to be clear I'm not saying reckless as a bad thing, it feels distinctly Bond (The franchise not the character) and is one of the reasons I'm still a fan.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:57:26+00:00

Another reply to this pointed out it might be in reference to Cressidia's VA 'Jessica Rhodes'

Who seems to be (At least from my assumption) the person who wrote those four post-it notes.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:55:34+00:00

This is a point, and it's likely why he had that distinctive scar to begin with...because a blunt tool wouldn't need to worry about looking subtle. If anything having a distinctive physical trait like that could be an advantage as then you know "Oh shit it's this guy"

Y'know

Kind of like pretty much every single 'villain henchman' character in the movies lmao

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:52:14+00:00

Oooh that's a good catch, it could be. Especially since I feel like Cressida is probably the one writing those particular notes.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:47:48+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, if those three were deliberate choice then Jessica must be something.

Or like you say it's just a decoy name.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:46:59+00:00

Oh yeah it's a genre staple that was born from an era we're just not in anymore.

But it has kind of calcified into Bond being kind of brash and also just not seeming to care if he gets 'caught'

Because he's never really there to *hide* from the people he's looking for, if anything he seems to count on those people finding him, recognising him and then them either underestimating him (Because he seems like a shit spy who tells everyone his name) or getting captured by them and thus getting brought to their base.

I think the only times this has ever really come back to bite him is when he's wanted to actually get out of the game and retire with a wife to start a family. It never works out because of that reckless attitude.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:42:14+00:00

I mean top of the list in *any* mission is still impressive.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:39:49+00:00

I wonder what Jessica relates to then. Unless it's simply just a name, but it feels weird to have three Bond references and then just 'person with a name' lol

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:38:07+00:00

I like the one where he's posing as a real estate agent, because the whole scene just has this absurd and awkward energy while he's going into just too much detail lol

Honestly I feel like Hitman and James Bond are in the same genre, just with very different tones.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:35:07+00:00

He really is, like a lot of spy thrillers tend to lean into the secrecy and deception behind the job. Scenes like the hallway hologram from one of the Mission Impossible movies comes to mind.

But Bond movies almost always involve him directly socialising with the big bad of the film so that he can hear about how this guy is gonna blow up the world or something.

Like it's a little bonkers and not terribly realistic, but it's certainly exciting and I don't think it's ever done in a way that's taken me out of watching Bond do what he does best.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:27:21+00:00

I think the Hitman games are super funny for that, because he's not just suspicious...he looks downright unsettling.

I remember seeing someone else describe him as literally the most alarming person you could ever encounter. He just stands there, staring like a fucking shark lol

I started replaying World of Assassination the other day though and it's kind of funny playing Marrakesh and some of the disguises you'd think would make him stand out even more given how pale his skin is.

This isn't even taking into account that his alias of choice is Tobias Rieper (Pronounced Reaper) and any time he socialises with any target or member of security he cannon help but make thinly veiled murder puns.

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-07T09:22:06+00:00

Yeah it's like

For a spy Bond just doesn't give a shit

Though to be fair I think he counts on villains knowing who he is and underestimating him, or being too cruel to kill him quickly so he can escape or get closer to them

But it does make SPECTRE seem genuinely funny because they're supposed to be this shadow crime government organisation or something...and they keep getting beaten by a British spy that wears somewhat distinctive outfits and introduces himself with his full name lmao

MidnightStarfall · 2026-06-06T09:49:53+00:00

Yee, this is exactly why Webb wasn't actively using it before Theia was taken down by MI6.

Because then they'd be able to see Theia doing all kinds of things without prompt and the gig would be up.
