Got all the way up through the last boss in the Vault of Glass raid yesterday. Aside from some latency-related issues (on top of the normal player skill-related issues), it was a blast. Need to really start making tough decisions about what types of weapons to use in certain missions.

But that Captain's salami tray was tight, yo. You plump for the roast pork loin, dogg?

It feels like you can't make sustainable online relationships anymore. My friends list is always empty, and recruiting offline never happens, especially in my age range.

You can't and won't until you retire. Life, careers, real friends and responsibilities get in the way of maneuvering a schedule around random online strangers with much different responsibilities.

Welcome to middle age and why I've bitched endlessly about the mantra of "ONLINE IS THE ONE TRUE WAY, FUCK THE SINGLE PLAYER" game design has had for the last 7-10 years.  It's about driven me out of the hobby.

You are my fucking friend on PSN, you goober.  Anyway, if my two Destiny Buddies were actual adults, we would not be where we are now.  One of them literally has no job and the other is a waiter.

Jeez.  This is better than running the strike playlist?  Do you get anything other than gear and engrams?

After watching that Angry Joe video, seriously, fuck that guy. Yes he's the supposed target demo and yes, at its core its got all the bro shooter elements. But anyone expecting a straightforward story from Bungie hasn't ever paid attention. They've never done that and they probably never will. It's not how they roll.

I am sure this is not the first.  I am not sure which one actually is, but perhaps Morrowind.
That's okay.  Bethesda made up for it by giving all their future games consolitis.

Why? It's fucking perfect. It's what every game with a level cap needs if the actual game starts post max experience-based level.

Diablo needs a fucking LOOT CAVE (always capitalize LOOT CAVE). Guild Wars/2? LOOT CAVE. Leveling is the absolute worst part of gaming, period.

The "actual game" that starts at level 20 isn't any better than what came before it though. If anything it's even more repetitive.

The solution to grinding isn't a cave that lets you grind faster, it's to make "grinding" not be a grind by being fun and engaging. In many games with an "endgame" you grind to reach the endgame, then the endgame is itself an even more tedious grind where you do the same few instances and farm reputation points. Gotta get through that grind to you can get to the more boring grind!

I like Monster Hunter in part because it's not grinding - it's fun. I don't care about reaching the endgame. Is there even and endgame? I don't know.

I like shooting things.  It's all fun to me.

Turns out I hit the weekly cap on marks, so I'll use that as an excuse to do something else for now.

The weekly cap rolls over tomorrow. You can still build reputation even if you cap out though.

Also tomorrow, the Queen calls in that favor you owe her.

I did the grind 'til I got enough faction with Future War Cult to buy their purple shit. That was enough to get me up to 26. Now I the only thing I farm in the crucible is bro tears.

I checked out "loot cave" today; wish I had noticed it since 2 hours of grinding it got me more gear than however many hours I spent doing the story and all the strikes.
