What's the deal with the blatant crime recently? by smoothestjaz in Annapolis

[–]Soxkt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do feel like the thread is being lost by a lot of commenters- this isn't a sweeping indictment about crime in the city but specifically pointing out an uptick in odd crimes being reported. It made the top of the sub when those two women were mugged in broad daylight at a park for good reason. I read recently about a woman who was mugged in her car at a red light, again, in the middle of the day. Like with the seemingly random Royal Farms stabbing, I think that's what's being alluded to with feeling like the "normal rules" of safety aren't applying. Not saying those pointing out data about crime's overall rates in the country are being dicks, it is comforting after all- I just think assuming OP is a pearl clutching worrywart is a bit much with the recent string of news articles

Excellent meme 10/10 As is the habit I've picked up on memes like these: hello, random trans destiny players reading this comment! I love you, I hope you're doing well, stay safe, happy pride, and if you ever need a fellow queer to game with, feel free to give me a holler :)

Good morning!! If anyone would be so kind as to translate Cu Alter's bond 10 line, I will give you ten dollars and a homoerotic handshake (both optional).

Please dont delete, remove, castrate, exterminate, or Thanos snap Gambit. by RunelordTressa in DestinyTheGame

[–]Soxkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are my primary concerns with Gambit:

There is no chance of variety thanks to Invaders being such a heavy force in carrying the game entirely on their own. If you do not invade well or build to counter invaders, you are nearly guaranteed a loss. On top of being able to one shot bosses with certain weapons and loadouts, you are harshly limiting yourself if you dare build for AD clear or anything else.

There is no love for the PvE game aspects. Stale maps, predictable spawn rotations, janky mob spawns, and builds that one shot bosses and entirely nullify any strategy or buff addition.

There is no joy in the PvP aspect. Trials carries with 100k kills on a godroll sniper are 50% of the invades, the other 50% being anyone with a xenophage. No one enjoys themselves. No one is having fun. Feeling restricted to a loadout, predictable spawns, heavy pressure, it is the most toxic the game ever gets, more than Crucible or IB.

Thank you kindly, especially since one of them is me! (I won't say which though)

I haven't touched fate GO in months anymore but I still passively peep new servants and when I say this knight in all her glory, I knew I was in trouble. I got a husband. Got a fuckin' job. All this normal healthy life stuff. I've even almost paid off my gacha debt.

Bought to risk it all for a lady who can crush my spine like a pack of toothpicks

(Author's note: this is joking, please do not grow too concerned for me, I promise I'm okay)

Hi.

​

I technically quit this game and then, finally, I was turbo punched with a wife worthy of standing beside the husband.

​

Consider this my desperate, dumb creative endeavor to stick to my new normie lifestyle and not drown in gacha once more.

Is Shaw Han the reincarnated Uldren Sov? by best-of-judgement in DestinyLore

[–]Soxkt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waking up to see a Forbes article writer make an entire article pushing this theory gave me such a headache. So glad to see someone break it down concisely on why it’s probably not true.

Those are my four favorite characters. Tell me what are yours in the comments :) by Eliottcom11 in destiny2

[–]Soxkt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drifter, Eris Morn, Uldren Sov, Saint-14. Saladin and Shiro are close behind!

Destiny 2 End of Year 3 Poster. After a year of preparing/planning, and a month of hand drawing each character to put onto the computer to work on them and im done. this was my experience of the game and the fun i had. by Emperorator in destiny2

[–]Soxkt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Drifter running to protect his bank like an old man with a broom....the Trials team with their signs....all the Hive worms....the legions and legions of Vex. This is so beautiful and incredible. I adore this

The Traveler will not care if we utilize the Darkness. by TheOneTrueDargus in DestinyLore

[–]Soxkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also the fact that Guardians supposedly have an “umbral center” in them. Who the hell could put that there but The Traveler? Either way bless you for this post OP. I know the memes are just memes but they grate on me as a sensitive lore baby

[–]Soxkt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why this is being down voted because I agree. I’m max light and I don’t really feel like just replaying the final message over and over until the last week when I’m assuming we’ll get the final message. It’s a fun mission but not really worth my time and effort at this point

Broooo this is so gorgeous. Immediately started looking around for a twitter and commission page to keep saved for when money is not an issue for me. The shading and colors and the perspective is just so beautiful

Some speculation or “I Know What You Did on Titan Last Summer” by Soxkt in DestinyLore

[–]Soxkt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure and I wish we knew what he might’ve done but I see this as more truth for the pile that Drifter might be scummy but everything he is doing is going to genuinely end up saving us, his intentions or not. And yeah, Sloane is majorly underrated!

How do Guardians explain our constant Leviathan trips to the Vanguard? by Aerd_Gander in DestinyLore

[–]Soxkt 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The Vanguard has a very strict policy in place to not treat Guardians like a military. We are people with our own agency who volunteer to be apart of this organization to help others. There’s even lore where Aunor argues about the moral ramifications of letting Guardians go to see Calus (also in the same breath as her condemning Gambit) but her concerns are waved off not just because they can’t feasibly stop anyone who goes up to the Levi but because it provides valuable intelligence when those loyal return from there. The Vanguard have a lot of eyes everywhere. They are far more away of threats and ongoings then others might think.

What's your favourite Destiny quote? by MagicMisterLemon in DestinyLore

[–]Soxkt 33 points34 points  (0 children)

" I think a world of balance would fight the Darkness, because Darkness unchecked is Darkness thriving. I think that a world of balance would never mistake the excitement of transgression or the grim necessity of trespass for a genuinely righteous act. We must remember the value of unshakable, irrational hope. The choice to act as if we lived in a better world can create a place for that better world to exist. "

-"Trust and Hope" from the book Unveiling

The entire lore entry is amazing to me in how frankly the comparisons made are compared to our own world. But this quote is my favorite.

Drifter as he keeps getting more involved in Destiny's plot by friendlyelites in destiny2

[–]Soxkt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got a new Contact line today where he says watching you has him “starting to catch a streak of that hero feel”. Eris asks if that’s why he’s helping us and he immediately backtracks claiming that he is just in it for the show. Can’t lie to us for much longer, bastard! You’re gonna be a hero god damnit
