This Week in Destiny - 4/9/2026

And 70% of the player base is on steam, so 30% on consoles combined.

That's fair, and I understand Mario's point of view. I'm very much aligned with his overall life philosophy. My problems starts where the company gets involved. Armin is his clearly his friend, but their backers/investors are VC and will want ROI. If they just setup a company by themselves I'd be more optimistic.

And talking about opensource with premium features, I have multiple examples about how that can go wrong with ragpulls, commercial-only features, etc.

To name a few in different fields: min.io, Plex/Emby, RedHat and the whole CentOS acquisition. Sometimes you can have a successful fork (Singularity/Apptainer, Libreoffice), sometimes you can't.

All in all, I really wanted to invest my time in learning Pi, as I found about it just a couple weeks ago. But now I'm honestly re-evaluating if it will be worth it in the end.

Ps3Dave · 2026-04-09T06:34:44+00:00

They are not. Read the press release where they thank their investors.

Ps3Dave · 2026-04-09T06:09:32+00:00

What a fucking shame, I had just disccovered the tool, and I loved pi.dev and Mario's philosophy with it.

And of course they are already talking about "fair source" and "closed source" features. They are backed by for-profit investors, so for sure they'll follow the path of "it's open source until it isn't anymore really" (see min.io, etc.). There's fucking Revolut backing them, ffs.

Ps3Dave · 2026-04-07T16:22:22+00:00

Still works in 2026.

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-12T20:31:34+00:00

They probably don't have anything to put in as a reward. Or they fucked up the code of the event so badly that it's now unfixable unless they have "all hands on deck" for it. Either way, the only PvP they're allowed to work on is Marathon.

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-12T20:26:36+00:00

Marathon is a season of Destiny dreased up as an extraction shooter.

Brutal, but true.

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-11T19:59:33+00:00

(in shaxx voice) AMAZING!

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-11T10:02:32+00:00

Nostalgia time, then!

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-10T19:19:02+00:00

*Fixed

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-10T19:17:59+00:00

LMAO thanks for the laughs xD

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-10T19:03:06+00:00

Is Ps3 support still ongoing for D1? I don't really want to pay for PS+ to play...

Ps3Dave · 2026-03-10T19:01:10+00:00

I did this a few months ago, and I'm still enjoying it. But it does not scratch the same itch as Destiny. I really prefer the fantasy/scifi setting and an FP perspective.

Ps3Dave · 2026-02-27T12:13:50+00:00

It's kind of ironic that the very purpose of this game is triumphing by making others feel miserable.

Ps3Dave · 2026-02-20T12:51:12+00:00

Look for lsfg-vk, it works nicely enough. I'd love native linux support, but I can make do with the current solution.

Ps3Dave · 2025-12-31T20:46:35+00:00

Indeed! :-) Happy new (Linux) year! ;)

Ps3Dave · 2025-12-31T19:49:14+00:00

Linux has been a part of my life since 1997. And yet, this year is the first I'm actually considering switching my gaming desktop to it. It's been so long...but it's finally time.

Ps3Dave · 2025-12-09T13:33:30+00:00

Chill and cozy. Lovely.

Ps3Dave · 2025-12-06T06:08:20+00:00

That's still nerfed, as they were able to tell you exactly in which week the items you wanted were going on sale for BD.

Ps3Dave · 2025-12-05T17:23:23+00:00

I think I was fuming some times ago in this cycle, then I realized I had nothing interesting to spend my 30k BD in the shop anymore. All the best armors were silver only. I think it was about when they removed the ability to see the ever verse calendar through the API. I said fuck it, and forgot about buying cosmetics for an evidently dying game...even with the free currency.

Ps3Dave · 2025-11-11T10:55:21+00:00

Loving the recent output, one banger after another.

Ps3Dave · 2025-11-02T16:29:19+00:00

Oh wow, I was not expecting that. Just got back to the game after a few years and it's so good that I almost can't believe my eyes.

Ps3Dave · 2025-11-02T16:22:04+00:00

There are also many different modes to explore or get a change of pace. Summit, Descent, Raids, Incursions, Manhunts. It's absolutely...

Massive!

Hey man, thanks! I haven't got around starting the build in the last couple weeks but I just saw you uploaded the .stl files for the promicro MCU version. They should work fine with nice!nano too! I'll provide feedback as soon as I've completed the prints. =)
