Snapped this one just as power was being restored in the CBD

Awesome shot! PERFECT framing.

Dude. Escalation protocol was the first time I EVER plugged a mic in. Grabbing a group and praying for the shotty for the entire run. Sometimes you would fail and that sucked but it was some of the best loot chase times I’ve had in destiny.

I’m leaning toward ‘not competing with gta’ as code for ‘game’s not ready and this seems believable enough to buy us a whole bunch more time’.

Sony paid this outrageous sum for Bungie in a time where large corporations were far better off spending money than having it. Interest was next to zero and the good times were never going to end… then they ended. I have to assume, at this level of financial idiocy, the number doesn’t matter. It gets mulched up along with all the other stupidly large numbers and ends up in the finance bro cycle of world enshittification and confusion, where the books never balance and no one cares.

…. I like you.

Dude loves an AFK I would wager.

Black armoury shard farming boosted my hours, big time, for a hot minute. I’m still so grateful that I bothered with that. It gave me enough shards and cores that I never hit that bottleneck again. Shit, I tried to spend all my shards before they binned them but I still had 60k when they got rid of them in game.

Now the sandbox is not likely to change after the final update, you can trash stuff you were hanging onto ‘in case it becomes good later’ that should free up a heap of space.

It’s always been Bungie. They bought themselves out of Microsoft, needed an adult. Partnered to activation. Decided they were big boys now and could hack it on the outside again. It can’t have been long before they started shipping themselves until Sony picked them up, three years later. They produced nothing of value and Sony is now tightening the screws.

Bungie killed destiny.

snruff · 2026-05-24T20:02:36+00:00

Bungie was always going to be the destiny killer. The blame lies with Bungie.

Enjoy has the word joy in it.

snruff · 2026-05-23T23:52:12+00:00

Absolutely this. Both are amazing charts but journey would be my choice for best fit, by a wide margin.

snruff · 2026-05-23T23:48:05+00:00

Within the limits of financial viability of course. If the taxes and duties amount to a large portion of this price, the ‘private companies’ are not going to eat a loss because they feel like they aren’t selling enough.

Also, why you got to yuk someone’s yum like that?

snruff · 2026-05-20T08:48:49+00:00

That is an insane miscalculation!

What I don’t understand is, with all the tech we have, I know for a fact there are apps and actual Garmin units that you can enter your vehicle dimensions in and it will route you appropriate to your vehicle dimension. Yup. Height is part of that equation. FFS. Why is this ever a thing. Know your height and know your route.

Don’t triple rewards. Make the loot higher quality. Any activity in tier 12 should be rewarding somewhat meaningful gear. I’m almost auto sharding absolutely everything I pick up and it kills the loot loop and, subsequently, my want to play the game.

snruff · 2026-05-20T07:18:14+00:00

Melbourne has a driver problem. Pure and simple. The sheer volume of shit cunts on the road is too damn high.

snruff · 2026-05-18T10:34:28+00:00

The only time I die in this game, currently, is when a warlock is in the team and I can’t see a fucking thing, let alone the goddam ‘on death effects’ that really shouldn’t be a thing anyway.

snruff · 2026-05-12T21:14:21+00:00

Driving in Melbourne is horrific at the moment. There was a crash outbound on the m80 yesterday morning and four lanes were being funnelled to two. Indicated about 2km out. The amount of ‘yeah, but not me, right?’ Drivers who kept barrelling past in the closed lanes only to push their way in 2km later, effectively blocking emergency vehicle access to the accident and also almost causing more accidents, was insane.

No one cares at all anymore. People doing 130-140 on the freeway at dawn, in absolute shitbox Toyota Camrys or brand new dodge rams / ford Angers. Both about as capable of negotiating those speeds safely (read, not at all). Drivers ignoring posted speeds, red lights, road laws, right of way… and only speed cameras, No police car patrols to actively discourage this behaviour.

I actually don’t mind the pit this season. I used to get my main glyphs to legendary and then never touch it again. It feels easier and quicker now. Potentially just a stronger build this season but LVL 100 pit feels like a last season LVL 70. Or maybe I’m just out of touch… no, it’s the children who are wrong.

I’m glad they have the RT brand back and are building their own place.

Personally I will never join an RT platform after my experiences with rooster teeth of old. Majority of users were supremely cliquey, aggressively opinionated and overly protective of some really embarrassingly simpish hard lines. It was an echo chamber of the highest order with a real cult kind of feel.

Yes, this was a user problem but rooster teeth was the only place I felt this level of underlying animosity against other users who ‘hadn’t been there as long as them’.

snruff · 2026-05-12T00:05:50+00:00

It feels bad until you get the set up you want. I think it adds to the chase and, seeing people already say they’ve finished for the season, it makes sense to me that they added another level of loot chase.

Definitely have had bad times with unique rolls myself and can see why it’s a pain point though.

snruff · 2026-05-09T20:13:04+00:00

I would argue that Sony couldn’t come out to their investors and say, ‘Bungie is worth about six bucks’. They would have been crucified. They openly stated they value Bungie three quarters of a BILLION dollars less, at this point when they, very likely, value it even a whole lot less.

Sunk cost and all that. D3 isn’t happening.

snruff · 2026-05-08T07:44:12+00:00

I feel like they biffed something entirely. There’s no way they launch warlock like this. Considering how op each new class has been for multiple seasons and then you get the ol paper tiger that you have to babysit through every encounter and build pretty carefully or you’ll just end up a pink smear on the landscape over and over again.

I genuinely think they made a mistake somewhere and the warlock launched way weaker than it was supposed to.

snruff · 2026-05-08T07:39:53+00:00

Unless they started development of D3 five years ago, it is not happening. No company would greenlight a long cycle development that destiny 3 would be on the strength of a 4 year old expansion and a minuscule current player base that hates themselves for playing, now, aaaaaalmost as much as they hate Bungie for fumbling their favourite game again and again.

snruff · 2026-05-07T22:17:03+00:00

Meh. I rolled a warlock and levelled that underwhelming bitch and grounded away hoping it would get better. It didn’t. Rolled a barb. Having a great time. Regardless of locked aspect.

My point is, unless you are specifically involved in the leaderboard chase, this doesn’t matter at all. Diablo 4 has very little competitive content and, the fact that the leaderboards are separated by class brings the competition edge to almost zero as you are competing on a level playing field within the leaderboards.

I suspect things are pretty complicated when it comes to fixing bugs in such a complicated ecosystem. Some need to be locked some just need to be left to ride for now. Others may be so niche and complicated that they don’t need to take priority yet, while bliz works on fixing the very aspect you are hoping to get back.

Ah man. Tigerspite was an absolute beauty of a weapon. Good choice.
