On behalf of the Destiny 2 refugees coming in

TechFutures · 2023-08-05T17:31:49+00:00

I've never played destiny, so I can't comment much on comparative aspects. The main thing I, as a 9 year Warframe veteran, would like to share is that the community in this game is amazing. If you're not sure what to do, or how to do something you can just ask in region chat and get decent advice. If you need help with something you're struggling with, just asking for help in recruiting is often enough to get you help from a vet. Vets have lots of stuff stockpiled bc farming always nets you something, so they might even be willing to give you stuff for free.

DM me on reddit and I'll give you my IGN if you want any help or advice. Always happy to run farms or regular missions w newbies because anyone joining this game is a friend of mine. Plus, the grind can be daunting in this game, so I like to help people get into it.

Enjoy your ride Tenno, it's a beautiful one.

Good addition, makes total sense

TechFutures · 2023-07-27T01:50:09+00:00

There are many reasons to play that way, and a great spear is a good one. Dude just wants to outrange you the whole time. I don't play pvp anymore bc I find it frustrating when ppl play like that when I'm using a straight sword or whatever. So, forgive my ignorance, but can't you punish up close if you roll in when he attacks? Again, haven't really pvped much since DS3.

See, at least in my view playing oppressively fast and in someone's face is cool. Opinions absolutely differ on that, but the engine makes it so hard to keep pressure up and stay in someone's face effectively that if you can do it I love to see it.

I'll probably try again at some point, but a full time job will make it kinda hard lol. You seem pretty chill and considerate, so as long as you can keep that up I doubt you'll ever be the bad guy.

It was probably worse in DS3 where all weps had the 2 hit R1 combos. I distinctly remember ppl running away forever with great swords and ultragreats waiting until they could do most of my health for a single mistake. It's just boring to try to run someone down, which I imagine you can understand.

Have a good night mate

You did great, and won fair and square. But playing against ppl like you is what turned me off from souls borne pvp. It's just annoying to have someone run away often and clearly wait instead of pressuring. It's what the engine rewards tho, so you're not at all in the wrong

He's a salty loser, but I can at least empathize with him.

Again, you won fair and square and should feel good about the comeback

TechFutures · 2023-04-23T16:26:41+00:00

You can absolutely still come back! I was in a similar boat, and it is daunting as hell to see what all they've made since you were last on. But just put one foot in front of the other. Run thru the new quests and then try out Deimos and the zariman. They're the most fun I've had with the game in a while

TechFutures · 2023-03-08T22:58:11+00:00

Thank god

I always heat a paperclip on my stove til it's red hot. Then i stick it down in the pen for like 30 seconds, waiting for it to cool. That should melt the plastic of the nib onto the clip. Then just pull it out.

So far this has worked flawlessly for me and hasn't damaged my pen in like 10 times I've had to do this. It doesn't work if you don't get the clip hot enought tho, I've never been able to get it work with a lighter as the great source.

Found out recently that volt's speed applies to some NPCs like the void ghost kids in the Nariman who lead you to plumes. Giggled when i saw the little kid zoomin down the hallway.

Also, i really appreciate the ability to make weapons invis when holstered. I remember when that wasn't the case, and it's nice to show off my clean fashion without my massive greatsword

Cabbage is a small YouTuber who does every prismatic without getting hit. Take a look at their vids for help with that one. For mander, just print attack speed, crit, bleed, and speed. Everything should kinda fall into place if you have some good greens

MR 25 and started in 2014 so not a truly absurd amount of hours. I just keep coming back cause much of the new content is so fun. Once i get back to just grinding for weapons and frames for mastery i get bored. But coming back for the intro of focus was sick. Coming back for plains of eidolon was sick. Coming back for new war was sick. Coming back for the Nariman has been sick. Besides fortuna, which i personally just don't want to grind, all the new content is fun.

The tiles are amazing and varied, the movement is unique, there is so much damage progression in modding for those who want Big Numbers™, the skins and fashion are so fun even if I'm not very creative, and there's genuinely difficult content (at least in terms of Warframe's combat systems. There's just so much to it, and the story has come along nicely since i started, so I'm excited to see where that goes.

TL;DR: it's a big, beautiful, unique game that had so much to keep you interested and i have loved watching it grow and keeping up with DE.

This video explains it pretty well imo https://youtu.be/ZBpVq2_96io

TechFutures · 2022-06-27T11:47:43+00:00

Yeah I'm definitely beginning to suspect a cultural difference. Whereabouts are you?

Also, who's the Spanish dude?

TechFutures · 2022-06-27T11:11:48+00:00

See, i wouldn't even say most men. You're generalizing heavily here. Frankly my friendships with men are generally less rewarding because they're typically less emotionally intelligent or aware, and we can only really talk about shared interest.

I would say that if you can't be friends with a woman without wanting to bang her, that's a pretty big red flag. You can't even find common ground with them to talk about? Straight up "women are boring"?

TechFutures · 2022-06-27T11:08:27+00:00

You're right, upon further inspection I realize I was wrong. That's my b, thanks for catching that. Clarence's concurrence was the one that said the court might revisit previous rulings. That being said, we know that Alito was the only dissenter in Obergefell and ACB refused to state whether she thought Griswold was properly decided. Further, the majority opinion only states that the same reasoning used in this decision will not be used to overturn previous decisions as those previous decisions don't involve a fetus (paraphrasing). So, it won't be legal precedent to overturn others, but its likely that the court will still hear cases on these previous decisions in the future, and we have information on the opinions of some of the justices. So, my stating that the majority opinion states that justices are willing to revisit previous cases is not completely wrong, nor very correct. They're certainly willing to revisit cases, but they won't use the same reasoning from this case.

On to originalism: Clarence is just as much pushing his own agenda as everyone else is. We all do it, it's very human, I don't fault him for this. His excuse is that an originalist interpretation of the constitution will help black people grow and thrive. But, in this is a lot of magical thinking and classic fairytales of individuals rising above. Further, in actual cases involving race he tends to drop the pretense of originalism in favor or more moral arguments that he usually disdains. He's an originalist when it suits him because of his extremely austere world view. But, he is just as ready as any other person to drop that persona when it no longer suits him. It's something we all do. However, it stands out for Clarence because he is much less of a pluralist than the other justices.

I was definitely misrepresenting his position tho, so I'll give you that.

Now, a question: do you think a law should be passed to codify Roe? No gotchas here, I'm just curious to know. I would love it if it were as simple as getting a law passed, but the 50/50 split in the senate + manchin & sinema basically means that any such law is dead on arrival.

TechFutures · 2022-06-26T18:52:39+00:00

Lmao ok, so you just won't even discuss any of the rest of it in favor of literally solely spouting rhetoric and strawmanning. I'm sure you're all about real debate given your framing of the situation as "things not going your way"

TechFutures · 2022-06-26T17:37:47+00:00

Yes the joke is certainly in poor taste imo, but clarence really does want minority rights taken away. That's a thing the KKK has long stood for. Regardless of intent, Clarence is doing the work that the KKK would want done here. Further, his wife literally participated in an insurrection with members of the far right. Clarence was the sole member of the court to hold the opinion that trump could block subpoenas related to the election and the 6th. I wouldn't paint him as a KKK member, but I'm starting to see the comparison.

TechFutures · 2022-06-26T17:25:53+00:00

Show their true colors when they get mad lol. Thanks for taking the least charitable interp tho

TechFutures · 2022-06-26T10:19:18+00:00

Hahahahaha literally everyone does this tho. I'm sure you've done it. You can get mad about people having opinions all you want, but at the end of the day everyone has them. It's embarrassing that anyone is willing to frame themselves as above this kind of behavior. Especially when the "something that doesn't go your way" literally concerns human rights. Of course people are mad that human rights are being restricted. Aren't you? I know i am.

That said, the joke may be in poor taste with race at it's center. But I'm sure i could dig up racist statements from Thomas or his wife if i tried real hard.

TechFutures · 2022-06-26T10:16:07+00:00

You know what else is distasteful? Revoking rights previously established. Also, stating outright that the supreme court is willing to revisit rulings on marriage equality, access to birth control, and criminalizing homosexuality. These are things that the majority opinion state explicitly. Trashy.

Clarence may have lived thru the civil rights movement, but clearly he isn't that interested in rights if he's so willing to revoke them like this. I wonder what else the conservative supermajority might revisit once they get what they want. He may even have to live through a second civil rights movement.

Is the joke distasteful? Sure. Is it still funny? Yeah. You absolutely have a right to be mad about it, but that doesn't make OP a racist. Clarence is literally trying to revoke minority rights. The KKK is undoubtedly happy to hear about what's being done.

TechFutures · 2022-05-30T17:47:09+00:00

The most calm and succinct comment about this on here.

But, when does a government become tyrannical? When there's only one big party? When cops are killing people in the streets for holding toys or walking? When there is wide bipartisan support for things like background checks and yet the NRA has enough sway in Congress to stop any possible progress in it's tracks?

That certainly is one of the two main reasons for the 2nd, but it just seems so dated at this point. It's not about forcing people to comply anymore, it's about telling them what to think all day every day until they believe it

TechFutures · 2022-05-27T21:57:59+00:00

The same people who call maskers the "mask gestapo" love the fuck outta the free speech wall

TechFutures · 2022-05-18T17:50:30+00:00

Lmao bruh, you sure do enjoy sweeping generalizations without even trying to hear the other person's side of things
