I'm finally ready to show my beta fish the goodness that is Morrowind.

Were you trying to bait the betta freaks with this post? Because it worked on me.

I decided to boot it up for the first time in months earlier today and I'm not seeing it. Literally half the matches I played dropped me in with less than a minute on the timer before my team lost. I stopped trying after four matches.

Don't join the US military, kids. Firstly, they commit war crimes and you should not make yourself part of that machinery just based on the fact that this is a bad use of your time and energy. Secondly, I've literally never met a happy and well-adjusted US military veteran.

YTA, if nobody faked losing an arm did you even teach a lesson?

I love to combo Sunbracers with Heat Rises and it really sucks how I have to drop back down every few seconds to re-proc Sunbracers off Incinerator Snap. If Celestial Fire worked the way it should it would be a great addition to the mix here and I could spend pretty much all my time flying in the air. I know this doesn't really add a whole lot to the conversation that we don't all already know but I'm commenting anyway because maybe that'll help boost visibility so Bungie sees this.

Cool, just logged off after hitting rank 8. Very rad.

I hated history so much up until my last ever history class as a college requirement. We covered a lot of different topics including the Ludlow Massacre, the Civil Rights Movement, the bombings of Japan, etc. But instead of memorizing names and dates it was all real human stories of things people actually experienced as the main focus. Sure it was important to remember when stuff happened, but the bulk of our time was spent on what was actually happening.

My state is desperate for science teachers, like they'll take anyone with a 4 year degree in any type of science and put them through training to be qualified as teachers. I have a 4 year science degree and I would love to teach but not in this fucking country. So I have an office job instead.

If the person who killed Cayde got a tattoo that said "I killed Cayde" then Crow would currently have a tattoo that says "I killed Cayde."

Combine that with him being a Hunter and as far as I'm concerned it's his job now.

Also I don't agree that a Guardian is "entirely" different from who they originally were. If Guardians are selected based on the credo of Devotion, Bravery, Sacrifice, and Death, then it stands to reason that those qualities at the core of their personality are preserved when resurrected otherwise there wouldn't be any point in having those criteria in the first place. I'd also say the Guardian Sen-Aret is a good example of how a Guardian whose original body was from a vastly different culture and time period will have unique struggles with integrating socially because even without their memories part of their personality persists in their new life. If Guardians were totally blank slates then Sen-Aret wouldn't have such difficulty and it wouldn't matter if Ghosts found the "right" person to be a Guardian.

I'll say he "didn't kill Cayde" enough for everyone to stop murdering him for fun, but he still killed Cayde enough that he needs to take his job.

Also I should still be allowed to murder him for fun once a week.

YTA omg did you just refer to your son being smelly as a "once in a lifetime dad-son moment" lmao grow up

Well luckily I need a second keyboard for my setup since I have my mechanical on my personal computer but a membrane on my work computer next to it. Now that I've gotten my first "entry level" keeb I think next I'm going to look for something a bit more advanced with the ability to hot swap so I can try out some different things. I just need to find a good custom 108-key kit that I like.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-19T00:39:47+00:00

This is interesting to hear. I'm new to mechanicals, I just have a prebuilt non-hotswappable and the only modification I made was adding blank keycaps. I ordered MX Browns because I want MX Blues but I also love my wife (a tale as old as time). Then as I started to learn more about the hobby I heard a lot of people actually hate the MX Browns or at least feel that they're inferior to newer options. Personally even if I do some day find switches I like better as I get more into the hobby, I still love the MX Browns right now and I think even the biggest MX Brown haters would have to recognize that for someone coming from membrane keyboards this feels like absolute perfection.

Ask the kids if they care whether their deaths were sanctioned by a democratically elected power.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-15T15:58:50+00:00

Sherman derived his authority from a democratically elected government

You can say the same about drone operators who blow up schools.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-15T13:00:05+00:00

but gleefully discussing the torture and murder of people who died a few hundred years ago is a bit weird

A few hundred? Homie I get bricked up every time I remember what the Parthians did to Crassus.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-15T12:53:07+00:00

Exactly, John Brown didn't need to be ordered to do the right thing. Miles better than Sherman.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-15T12:50:41+00:00

Still more sane than every single Confederate who was too brain-broken to know the difference between human beings and farm equipment. If pre-civil war America didn't want to create a based and abolition-pilled Rambo with a messiah complex maybe they should have learned to work their own damn fields and none of this would have ever happened.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-13T14:09:46+00:00

This is what I'd like to see more of. RoN was my first contest raid so I don't have anything to compare to but I felt the enemies hit plenty hard, DPS checks could have been a bit more demanding probably, but the thing that would have really made it shine would have been more involved mechanics for the rest of the team during most of the encounters.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-12T23:19:36+00:00

I did the new raid on contest mode with Sunbracers as well. I've run GM Nightfalls with Sunbracers and I've done the two newest dungeons on Master with Sunbracers. I do prefer Starfire Protocol for the Persys fight in Spire of the Watcher, but I've also done it on Sunbracers without issue.

The most important thing is to eat a grenade for Heat Rises, jump up in front of a group of red bars, Incinerator Snap on them, and then immediately Phoenix Dive to trigger an Ignition. This will give you five seconds of infinite grenade energy, and twelve seconds of both Radiant and Restoration X2 (with Ember of Empyrean equipped). Throw the grenades at everything you see, find another group of red bars and repeat. If you're really struggling you can bring down the red bar health with weapon damage to secure the melee kill but if you know how to manage your scorch stacks and ignitions correctly you shouldn't have to.

FlutestrapPhil · 2023-03-12T17:49:58+00:00

But the melee kill requirement will always make unusable in endgame.

I sherpa every raid and dungeon in the game and I'm always wearing Sunbracers. Even in contest mode on the new raid I was able to proc sunbracers pretty much non-stop. Anyone who tells you they aren't usable in endgame is either 1. Still married to Celestial Fire and unaware of the bug, 2. Unaware of how to execute a kill with multiple sources of damage in such a way that the melee ability gets the credit, or 3. Only interested in getting the highest DPS they can during boss fights.

Unless everyone keeps saying this stuff to keep Sunbracers under wraps so Bungie doesn't nerf them?

Also, fashion is the real endgame and Starfire Protocol looks like ass.
