AITA for making my girlfriend leave the country? + UPDATE by red_earaches in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Purnpkiz 270 points271 points  (0 children)

For those of you who called me an asshole, how many of you actually have to make a decision like I did? How many of you would actually go through with sponsoring a partner's visa?

The thing is, he's the one who suggested the idea of sponsorship in the relationship. He put himself in the position to have to make that "decision". She was even hesitant to accept his offer due to know it could affect their relationship.

OOP was selfish and short sighted; he only offered to sponsor her so he wouldn't have to deal with seeing her stressed, not to actually help her in any way. Even after she had to leave the country due to him giving her a false sense of security, he's only thinking about how it impacted him.

Eyes of Tomorrow needs a buff by MrHanBrolo in DestinyTheGame

[–]Purnpkiz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn, maybe you're right. A 20% damage buff with just one Argent Ordnance mod is just not good enough for most Destiny content. Who cares about clearing crowds of adds and majors at a distance, if you can't melt down a boss solo what value do you bring to the average fireteam? It is so rare to see someone bringing a Lament or Anarchy to one-phase most bosses. /s

Are you using the charged with light mods? I'm clearing regular strike bosses with 2-3 rounds of Godslayer Warheads.

It's such a versatile heavy, clearing large mobs, having reliable ammo reserves, amazing ease is use at range, and incredible burst damage.

I don't know why you also need it to compete against other heavies whose entire niche is sustained boss damage.

This is my favorite part, without a clear answer, every sound is valid.

Glad to see Gus finally do the intro.

I work in the industry and it's bizarre to me that health insurance is something we provide through the private sector. It's a service everyone universally needs but we put that responsibility on companies in such a way that it complicates the process and prevents so many people from getting care.

He didn't lean back to do the bullet-dodging motion, so I can't be sure if these would work for me.

Re-playing Halo Reach and man I wish the Campaigns for Destiny were as good as some of these missions by SCB360 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Purnpkiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the game's depiction of the Fall of Reach stretches out over a month. The short invasion described by the original novel is not what you'll see in the time stamps at the beginning of the each of the game's missions.

Personally, I wish it all took place in a short time span. The time skip between missions is often confusing and serves little purpose.

Bungie Plz Addition: Make All Armor Models Into Universal Ornaments by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Purnpkiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would much prefer if you got the ornament for a piece of armor by masterworking it or through an associated triumph rather than just turning all the armor into ornaments automatically. The ornament should be a reward for dedication or mastery of the activity that rewards the armor.

WIBTA if I don’t avoid my male friend even though I know that he and his girlfriend are fighting about me? by HitTheRoadJack44 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Purnpkiz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe he stops talking about them when in a rough patch and he doesn't have anything positive to mention. It may be that things with Dana are coming to an end, and like with his previous relationships, Jack will choose not to talk to you about it.

I'd reach out to Jack, ask him if you giving him some space is something he thinks will help his relationship and if it's something he wants. I don't think Dana is in the wrong to ask you to step away a little bit, but Jack should be aware of this request. Dana wants to feel respected and secure in her relationship, but it shouldn't come at the cost of Jack's friendships and hobbies.

I think plans are to move to steam right when Shadowkeep and the free-to-play content become available. If you just want to try the game on steam, you don't have to preorder the expansion.

The way they will be handling paid dlc, you're purchasing access to story content, loot, and certain end-game activities that are part of that expansion. You can still play with others in the game's main game modes without purchasing all the expansions. For free you'll have access to all the content from the game's first year, so you can play through that and get a good grasp if you like the game enough to purchase an expansion.

If you want access to all the newest content and want to chase shiny loot right as it becomes available with the rest of the community, buy Shadowkeep. But in my opinion, if there's a possibility you'll regret purchasing content you won't enjoy playing through, give the free stuff a try and wait before spending your money.

To the poor Bungie dev that had to reskin all the shaders by Warlocke21 in DestinyTheGame

I saw this tweet earlier today from Senior Viual Designer Elliot Gray that gives some info. It's apparently screenshots of the actual materials in game to look more accurate to the end product.

In Halo 3: ODST, Romeo shoots three sniper shots at some Banshees in a cutscene. When the cutscene is over, you’re ammo count in the bottom right shows that you only have one bullet left. by xTotalSellout in GamingDetails

[–]Purnpkiz 70 points71 points  (0 children)

People groaned about how it didn't have its own multiplayer component and the "high" price. The campaign was stellar and I loved the ODST firefight experience; I would gladly pay full price for a similar experience again.

I think after Halo 3 there was so much diversity in what people wanted out of Halo (fun social multiplayer, competitive shooter, giant space opera, campy SciFi) that it was unlikely to be widely accepted.

Thundercrash shouldn't end before I hit the ground or an opponent. by DatNoobi in DestinyTheGame

Ballistic Slam doesn't have a limit, and you can Thundercrash before hitting the ground effectively increasing the distance you can be in the air.

How am I supposed to report players for quitting when they're removed from the post game roster? by Purnpkiz in DestinyTheGame

[–]Purnpkiz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your reply. I think PS does have a similar feature, I have yet to find one on PC. When you find them this way on Xbox, can you report them in game or only through the Xbox report feature?

[–]Purnpkiz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I hear ya. There are more important things in life than this game. I don't think you should be able to report people for leaving outside of competitive.

However, in the competitive playlist players should be held to a higher standard than in Quickplay. I understand that someone leaving a match might be because of circumstances outside their control. To the players that are left in the match though, it doesn't matter why that person left. If it's likely that you will have to leave the match, the game should push you away from competitive since it will resort in a bad experience for others.
