#Destiny2 folks, Ruinous Effigy is freakin’ WILD. Cool Guy has a good deep dive.

• 50% damage reduction while blocking
• ***It blocks stomp mechanics***
• You can make another one after 5 seconds; multiple can be on the field at same time
• You can survive a 4x honed edge sniper headshot in PvP while blocking
• He makes a good case for using it in high-tier endgame content with a couple different strats

‪Only one of my last ~ 15 IB matches has been worthwhile. Every one is a landslide mercy for them or us. ‬

‪CBMM is objectively awful.‬

‪Either people do not understand what they wanted, Bungie did this to appease the top whatever %, or they don’t know how to fix this. #Destiny2 ‬

‪Yeah, still don’t get CBMM in #Destiny2.

‪• 3 matches in a row where we got stomped, mercied‬
‪• 5 in a row where we stomped them‬
‪• one decently good match that literally came down to time and we lost by a point. It was great‬
‪• Now we’re back to getting mercied‬

‪This is lame.

‪All this Destiny background maintenance. Why isn't there ever any maintenance on the foreground?‬

‪Awoken gatekeepers are the worst. #Destiny2 #DreamingCity‬

Occasional reminder that Adventure Pals is a criminally underrated, hilarious, fun platformer with couch co-op. https://youtu.be/qLpCBxkYmTo

A giraffe in your backpack helps you fly and swim. The bad guy is turning old people into evil hotdogs. You defeat a tree boss by pantsing it.

‪Holy shit, #Destiny2 folks. I was unplugged most of the weekend and just got caught up on all the sunlight shined on the dark corners of our community.‬

‪I’m so sorry this awfulness happened, but I’m glad it could come to light. Thanks to all the brave victims who came forward.‬

Sydnee Goodman killing it. 😄

#Destiny Xur PSA: his armor rolls are apparently 60+ stats this weekend. Here's hoping that's a thing now.

‪Speedrunning is such a big part of gaming culture now, but what about slowrunning a game? Or StopAndSmellTheRosesRunning? Seems ripe for innovation.‬

‪To be clear: this isn’t a 9 minute segment stuffed before the stated start time for the stream. It started at the announced stream time. Badass.‬

Bungie starting their reveal stream for new Destiny content with an 8 minute and 46 second tribute to George Floyd, the protests going on, calling for change, and sharing links for taking action.

Wow. This is fantastic.

Any #MortalKombat lore nerds around? I don’t play, but I like watching the cutscene movies posted to YouTube. Is there anything in the lore that explains how or why combatants are (almost?) never killed in official tournament matches, but in our one-off fights we can, uh.... obliterate each other?

This Kickstarter Switch game looks really promising (to the Bloorborne fan in me). Everyone go back it so we can unlock the multiplayer rewards tier! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kumisoulsgames/the-last-faith-a-dark-gothic-metroidvania

Yep, it's down again. Bummer.

Anyone know what's going on with the toot.cafe instance? It's been mostly down, briefly up for me all morning.
