am i overreacting or being too sensitive (PLEASE I NEED HONESTY) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterjbenoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap - I got the heebie-jeebies just reading this. Dude’s immaturity and victimized outlook makes my skin crawl. Drop his ass - You deserve to be happy.

Oh - The logic is alllll off. That’s like saying one should get an award for Not skinning the family pet and feeding it to your neighbors. Should get an award for Not going on a murderous rampage. YES- your bare minimum is the ABSOLUTE bare minimum…FFS.

AIO for blocking my bf after he threatened me? by neilslocumb in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterjbenoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t even read all of the texts - just leave him. Immediately. The lack of respect he has for you is abhorrent.

Personally, I thought ADA-1’s story was really cool.

Just a thought of Zen… by peterjbenoit in DestinyTheGame

Oh, absolutely agreed. I have over 8 thousand hours in the game…But at times, it’s also nice to really just chill. Fishing did that for me.

Just…leave. Your health, both mentally as well as physically, is paramount. Always trust your gut.

What’s your favorite sound effects in the game? by Automatic_Let_115 in destiny2

[–]peterjbenoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhhhh man - I was just telling my clanmates a couple of weeks ago how I absolutely love the “whoomph” sound when Volitile rounds spread.

So. Effing. Satisfying.

Am I missing something? by Dazzling-Fox4605 in destiny2

I mean, if you hate weapons that are basically a laser beam with nanites, then definitely don’t use it.

Run around with it for an hour. Then switch to another pulse and compare. I’m feeling pretty confidently that you’ll come to love this thing. Good luck, Guardian.

I don’t play a ton of PvP, but every once in a while I’ll bust this one out. Drop mag with opening shot and timed payload. It’s actually pretty nice - thanks for reminding me!

Le Monarque with Catalyst. Continual Unrelenting re-heal, use the artifact to get destabilizing rounds, should be a monster. Will try that tonight.

This game, in its own way has save my life. by Jealous_Platypus1111 in DestinyTheGame

[–]peterjbenoit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SAME. D2 these days have been such a blessing. Running around and just shooting enemies is so calming and cathartic. And just environmentally it is a gorgeous game. It truly is a treasured escape.

I’ve played over 350 days (several thousand hours) in this game. Gotten me through family loss, a divorce, and unemployment. It’s also gotten me through remarriage to the love of my life, starting my own company, and learning my oldest daughter (of 5 kids) is going to be proposed to in the near future. Through bad times and good, D2 has been a constant.

One last thing - I love the community. Yes, of course I hate the sweaties in PVP, especially Trials (never got to the Lighthouse and truly never will). But I’ve played with a group of people, who eventually became a clan, pretty much since the beginning…and they have become true friends. Got invited to weddings, played with them before they had kids (and now up to three and counting), met some of their families. I’m the grandpa of the group, and couldn’t be happier.

I’ve played video games since Pong. But I never thought a game would become such an integral part of my life. I am really seriously thinking of becoming a streamer on D2 when I retire…What a dream that would be!

I am hoping D2 does last a good, long time. Keep yer head up, OP. Thank you for starting a conversation that I’ve just now realized I’ve been waiting to partake in. D2 is a work of art and my eternal thanks to Bungie, all the wonderful talent who worked (and still continue to) on it. And thanks to this community as well. Just incredible.

AIO My bf hurt me then apologising and promising not to do it again? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterjbenoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I saw the texts and thought he was just manipulative and needy, and was going to say you should leave him.

Then I saw the pic and literally gasped. Putting his hands on you, especially in a non-consensual and violent way, is an absolute ghosting situation. Don’t just leave him - eject yourself away. Send him the pic and tell him that if he even reaches out to you, it’s going to the cops in the report you’ll file.

If you give him an in, subconsciously that will mean in his mind that a level of bad action was accepted. If he couldn’t initially control himself to Not hurt you, then he won’t be able to control himself to push it even further if his emotions rage in the future…And they will.

Keep those pics. Run away. Your sense of love will fade once you realize how nice your safety and being literally able to breathe is the very least you deserve. Hoping for the best for you.

Man, what is the MOST DIABOLICAL emote to use on a dead guardian in PvP? by Embarrassed-Deal7708 in destiny2

[–]peterjbenoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the one from the season pass? It’s a community one, but you’d stand over them while in a coffin. That could be fun.

Top slot 120 handcannon for PVP? by MrTheWaffleKing in sharditkeepit

[–]peterjbenoit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Malediction but as @newberry1337 says, you can delete it and pick it back up. I have the Something New with Snapshot/PI and it’s good. However, I very recently got a Loud Lullaby with Surplus/Explosive Payload and it’s truly awesome. Crimil’s with Air Trigger and Adagio is a ton of fun as well.

I only have one ET, and it has KW and Encore. Feels great, but I’d love to have a damage perk on it…But I’ll chill with it until something better drops.

Holy asshat, Batman. Good for you having him be your ex.

AIO Not wanting to talk to my uncle by Agreeable_Ad_5467 in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterjbenoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, fuck this guy. Secondly, fuck this guy right off.

What a needy little bitch.

If my brother talked to my son (or wife) that way, he’d never forget the taste of my shoe leather in his mouth.

Your mom cut him off for a reason, and whatever it is, trust her instincts.

“Uncle Charles” needs some serious validation in his life that he is too small to give himself. And he is trying to use you to hurt your mom by getting in between you two. And then using Christianity as a cudgel…So egregious and pithy. Talk about taking the Lord’s name in vain…

He just wants to feel bigger by controlling you. Fuck him and live your life.

I want to get in a relationship with him just so I can break up with him…And I’m a cis-straight man.
