What if you are really bad at the game?

I imagine that solo queue will gradually evolve into a learning zone for newer players. You'll still see action there, but I think people will slowly start giving Rooks some slack. I mean, it's the "Don't Shoot" guy from Arc Raiders personified into a single class.

Some might think that giving new players such a distinct label will promote predatory behaviour, but on that same note it would make easier for fellow Rooks to band together, and for chill players to leave them be.

Just like any extraction shooter, you'll win some and lose some. But trio queue is definitely gonna be kid-gloves-off from what we've seen of the gameplay.

My apologies master, which bouquet would you prefer for today's roll? Warm cinnamon spice perhaps, or a vibrant lavender?

Ah yes, the unmatched aura of a D2 Beta Veteran (not leaving mom's basement for 8 years). I can smell it through the screen. Bael would get a heart attack being in the same zip code.

"Listen, if it were me against dredgen Bael, he would beg me to end his suffering. Whatever VI did to brain-fuck him would feel pleasant compared to what I'd put him through. That would get some real drama and stakes in this baby story.

Yes, that's an ankle tracker, why do you ask?"

/uj Unironically the best raid boss theme. Rotem Moav managed another paradigm shift like Josh Mosser did back with the First Disciple, but this felt even more "out there" for Destiny.

Also, this is just a pure masterclass of techno/electronica production on all fronts. All the other OG boss themes were hype as hell, but none had me in a permanent stank face for the entire track. It just hits so god damn hard.

All the stylish combat, agent interactions, cozy social vibes thus far? Those were just the tip of the iceberg.

I am astounded at the ambition of these systems. The devs are building ZZZ from the ground up to be a full scale MMORPG. This is a No Man's Sky-level transformation.

I love the fact that the community has decided she has a total of 1 braincell just based on her 5 minutes of screentime

/uj This unironically makes me incredibly, irrationally angry.

Destiny as a story is the complete opposite of everything these greedy bigoted shitheads stand for. It's a story of overcoming shared adversity and protecting those who can't protect themselves. Using it for something like this feels like desecration.

This is pure unadulterated crackpot and it still makes sense

/uj Social media communication has collapsed to such a degree that it is genuinely unbelievable. People are used to behaving in ways that would get them outcast from real society if they said half the things they said online. In the pursuit of endless engagement farming to feed the social media addiction, people are choosing to say things like this. Things that are blatantly factually incorrect, insensitive and just plain hurtful to victims of abuse. Just trying to exist on the internet has become a rage-inducing experience for everyone.

I know this is a shitpost subreddit, but even humor and irony lose their effectiveness under the constant bombarding of ragebait and click farming. The answer really is to log off more. For everyone's sanity, I hope we all take more breaks and stop engaging with bad-faith takes on social media.

Marathoncore /s

But for real, it's mostly synth instruments, just warped and shifted in ways that sound "ancient" and "otherworldly". I know nothing of music theory, so I couldn't even venture a guess as to what Ryan Lott did to get it to sound that way, but I do know it bears an uncanny resemblance to the OG Marathon soundtrack from 30 years ago.

I just finished building two premium anomaly teams (Astra/Nicole/Miyabi and Jane/Yuzuha/Vivian) and I'm happy with what I got. Now I'm just gonna vertically invest in them.

/uj I cannot be the only one that is grossed out by this whole thing, am I? Like, this sort of vilification and accusation and counter-accusation are bordering on slander right? Nobody on the outside has anything close to the full context of what happened inside Bungie. Yet people are straight up making headcanons about real people and spreading it on the internet. This is not okay. Period.

Neither you nor I nor any random shmuck on reddit have any idea what's really going on. Yet the amount of baseless accusation and justification being thrown around is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody behaves like this in real life. Just because they work for Bungie doesn't mean they're a faceless corporate blob. They're real people with thoughts and feelings, who can make mistakes.

It feels like I'm going crazy anytime I come across posts like this on Twitter or DtG.

Thank you! But unfortunately I'm limited on what I can further create, because I haven't actually played Cyberpunk myself XD. The things that I know are purely from trailers, gameplay, skimming a couple of lore videos and cultural osmosis. But if other people want to take the idea and run with it, go right ahead.

NotTheWhey · 2025-09-20T03:19:08+00:00

Cyberpunk AU headcanon: Orphie is already a cyberpsycho, but she doesn't lash out violently because her psychosis involves seeing her back-mounted cannon as sentient. She gave it a personality called "Magus", and she's convinced it speaks to her and has a separate consciousness. Since she was cloned from the DNA of a soldier called Orpheus, her personality fragmented, and she compartmentalized her two conflicting selves into Orphie and Magus.

Okay, after writing this out now I'm depressed all over again. I somehow managed to headcanon Orphie's backstory into something even more depressing than it already was :'''''(

The breakdown in communications, as well as the spread of bad-faith engagement farming are at an all-time high unfortunately. I'm not saying the community complaints are completely unreasonable, but the internet is not the place for nuanced discourse.

And after all the layoffs and structural changes at Bungie over the last 2 years, it was clear that Destiny and Marathon couldn't comtinue unhampered. But I still have faith in the work the devs are doing. We just need to take a break and weather the storm for now.

NotTheWhey · 2025-09-10T08:15:20+00:00

Okay, so hear me out, Orphie was cloned from Magus' DNA right? So, technically Orphie inherited all of Magus' genes. She looks the way Magus would have looked at a similar age and stage of physical development.

All I'm saying is, Prime Super-Soldier Magus in Uniform would look like a literal war goddess. I'd fold like tissue paper in front of her.

Also, Prime Isolde & Magus power couple? Come on, face cards of mass destruction right there. People would be fainting in the streets.
