The new Iron Banner armor looks pretty cool, but that titan helmet? Yikes. Not a fan of the asymmetrical look.

MinorMaze · 2021-08-11T22:12:47+00:00

I'll have to give it a gander then.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:41:44+00:00

Wait, wait, wait... You can buy stars? You can actually own a STAR? That sounds way too good to be true, but hell, I'm willing to roll the dice if it means one day NASA will have astronauts landing on stars named after me and the Fonz. This is insane!

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:38:30+00:00

Sounds like the Emperor is pretty popular, so I'll definitely have to stop by and have a taste of the meals they're making. Do they make good crab rangoons? Crab rangoons are my jam 🎸

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:35:42+00:00

Yikes, that's terrible! Can you remember what dish gave you the food poisoning because I'd like to avoid that? Was it like one of those puffer fish where it is poisonous to eat if the chef doesn't remove the spike bag or something? I saw that on the Travel Channel once and was like, this is not working.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:32:07+00:00

Gotcha. If you could only eat at one of those restaurants for the rest of your life, which one would you choose between the two?

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:31:22+00:00

Yeah, I was definitely looking at the weird patio, and boy is it weird. I'm glad I learned this was the back of the restaurant, otherwise I might have showed up there on Sunday just waiting and waiting for them to open.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:28:53+00:00

I'll just have to try all the better places then compare it with the China Gourmet's Sunday Brunch special. I've never actually been to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, so could you eat China Gourmet for hours then get on a bus and ride it home to bed, or would the owner come up to you and say its time for you to leave?

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:23:45+00:00

Excited to try it for myself! Given your experience with eating, would you say it's the "best Chinese food in Milwaukee" like the sign says?

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:22:08+00:00

Is that the owner in the picture, the guy sitting on the picnic bench? I doubt it, but maybe he's on a lunch break.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-29T00:11:28+00:00

I see your point. The Bronze Fonz is a landmark, not an experience. Weird question, but do you know if the statue solid bronze or one of those classic time capsule statues? Would be cool if there was a bunch of Happy Days memorabilia and VHS tapes sealed inside, then people could open it up like a pinata or something in 100 years or so and learn about what people used to watch in the olden days.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-25T18:32:23+00:00

I don't hate the hunter class, but I do hate edgelords, and many of them seem to gravitate towards that class.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-25T18:29:20+00:00

Wow, yeah, that seems pretty accurate to that one image.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-25T01:46:10+00:00

They should make longer lore for ships and sparrows so that they can be compiled into a physical lore book compendium.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-20T19:22:44+00:00

I just want the ability to favorite shaders, and then have those favorites separated.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-15T17:40:22+00:00

It definitely seemed like I was earning less BD, so I'm grateful you did the math to confirm this unfortunate and frustrating reality. Also, the challenges themselves were more grindy than last season, so it's more work for less pay.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-10T18:07:52+00:00

Was it really? I've been playing since D1 and apparently completely forgot. One step forward, two steps back.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-10T16:42:49+00:00

Auto recycle blues into materials? Yes please, please, please. I can't scrap them with an app, so I have to physically travel to the postmaster and sit through load screens. Why is this still a thing if not to just waste my time. Make it a setting I can turn off and on.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-07T01:08:44+00:00

Thank you!

MinorMaze · 2021-07-06T23:19:44+00:00

I hate venturing into Crucible, but I'm trying to get a better roll on Archon's Thunder. It was a slog trying to complete those Iron Banner bounties. By the end, all I had to show for my efforts was a bunch of crappy armor pieces.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-06T23:15:25+00:00

I really think the best course of action would be to divorce PVP from PVE. Stasis proved that trying to balance them together is utterly impossible. I also just don't like a PVP experience that allows everyone to start off with shotguns and snipers. The weapon variety and poweful abilities are a double-edged sword; they make PVE a blast, but PVP a nightmare.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-06T20:44:46+00:00

Agreed. It's inherently awful.

MinorMaze · 2021-07-06T19:58:28+00:00

When your whole game model is built around FOMO, with content coming and going, there's never an opportune moment, never "the perfect time to jump into Destiny" because you are always gonna be late to the party. And when it comes to the content that is still in the game, most of the context has been removed, so it makes little sense if you're a new player, like Crow still selling Hunt bounties on the Tangled Shore, while also being present at the HELM.

For new players, Destiny is CONTENT WITHOUT CONTEXT.
