Whelp

I’m 6 miles from home 🥲

Bet I wouldn’t get into those early #Destiny2 expansion queues anyway 😆

Thankfully, #Chicago has decent transit. Which I’ll take once I’m down pouting at a lakefront cafe

With a big new #Destiny2 expansion dropping today and a new raid this weekend, I am grateful Jessi is supportive of my hobby and asks me to put major events on our shared calendar. 😆
@julen I guess it's to avoid hitting the API too hard and drawing the ire of Bungie. It was fine, I got some #MarvelRivals matches in. 😆

YES #Borderlands4

CLAPTRAP IS BACK

(and no I’m not interested in your hate Claptrap is precious and you need to talk to a therapist) #Borderlands

Yo #Destiny2 folks, here’s a good pre-expansion tip I got from my clan: you might want to consider removing mods from your armor. There was a time a year or two ago when they made big changes to mods and a bunch of stuff was broken for a few days.

There’s an easy way to automate this with DIM (Destiny Item Manager):

- search for “is:armor” (without the quotes)
- In the three dots menu on the right, choose “Strip Sockets”
- A dialog appears that can strip all shaders, ornaments, and mods
- I only selected mods (fashion matters and IMO isn’t likely to break)
- I had 534 mods to remove
- The process will take a while, probably since DIM doesn’t want to hammer the API
- Mine has taken around 2 hours and probably needs 30 min more
- Servers go down sometime early tomorrow morning to apply the update, which means DIM loses access
- If you want to do this, do it tonight

@NateBarham OH! You're probably right. I have a blind spot for that game since I haven't played it, yet I bought it as a gift for my wife. Heh.

@mast0d0nphan Heathen! 😆

You could always sell it.

40 percent of the top 20 games on #Steam this year are from indie or AA studios, when sorted by peak concurrent player count.

Nature is healing.

Almost Half Of This Year's Top-Performing Games Have Come From Double-A Or Indie Studios

The times are changing.

Just saw a new indie game described as "a disco-like narrative adventure CRPG"

What the heckin is a disco-like

@mast0d0nphan I didn't really grow up with Nintendo, a couple friends had one and we played.

I had a brief affair with the Switch 1 when it launched, was into the whole format. But the more I learned about the actual company, I've soured so hard on it.

And an important detail, to me, is that we have *zero* shortage of great games to play these days. Nintendo has long stopped being the only game in town for the types of games it makes.

Personally not bothering with a Switch 2.

@InfiniteHench interestingly I never signed up for the #Polygon newsletter only as website comments login back in 2013, which means they have sent emails to legacy registered users too on just newsletter folks. Guess I need to submit this.
