Guys, we need to talk. I rushed a corner on 20% health in my super and got killed by a HC when my silkstike missed thanks to 1ms of lag. Now people are making fun of me on the main sub. I'm literally shaking rn. Why won't Bungie FIX this?!?!?! 🤬
I was playing with two blueberries who were in a party, and we failed a round simply because these fuckers couldn't push a damn button to deactivate the gas chamber challenge while I was trying to handle it and deal with the Hive ads. I kept dying due to their lack of help. I texted in chat to please assist and read the damn challenge description, but one of them said, "Cried about it." So, I joined their fireteam since they’re stupid enough to have the "Join Fireteam" option public, and I rigged their run for being total assholes.
First, a little backstory:
I was born on a warm summer's eve in Burlington, Alabama. The year, was 1975. My mother Eva, and my father, Luke moved to America after the fall of Saigon eager to provide a better life for their family. I was a quiet boy in school, and excelled at maths and the sciences. My best friend was another young boy named Trey, who I still see every week to this day.
After high school, I decided to pursue a career in sales, something that had always come easy to me. I’d always been able to talk to people, connect with them in a way that felt natural, so I figured it was a good fit. I landed a job at a car dealership in Birmingham, not far from home. The early days were tough. The hours were long, the customers demanding, and the pressure to meet quotas relentless. But there was something about the adrenaline of closing a deal that kept me going. I worked my way up, from washing cars in the lot to eventually becoming a top salesman. By the time I was 28, I had my own office, a steady income, and the beginnings of a future I could be proud of.
It was at the dealership where I met Sarah. She was a widow in her late twenties, newly moved to town, and looking for a car. I noticed her immediately—her quiet strength and the sadness in her eyes that only a person who had lost someone close could carry. We talked for a while that afternoon, not just about cars, but about life and loss. Sarah had been married to a man who had passed away unexpectedly, and she’d relocated to Birmingham hoping for a fresh start. A few months later, after a few more conversations and some shared laughs, we went on our first date. The connection was instant, and it didn’t take long for me to realize she was someone I wanted to build a life with.
In 2005, Sarah and I bought a small house in the suburbs. It was a modest place with a white picket fence, but it was ours. We were starting a family—our son, Joe, was born that same year. Holding him for the first time was like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. We’d built something real together, something that was ours to nurture and protect. The transition to suburban life wasn’t without its challenges. The pace was slower than the city, the neighbors were friendlier, but at times it felt like we were still finding our rhythm. Still, we made it work—Sarah, Joe, and me. Life was changing, and with each passing year, I felt more grounded, more certain of where I was headed, and who I was becoming.
In 2008, Sarah and I found a new way to unwind together—video games. It started innocently enough, just a way to pass the time after long days at work. A friend of mine introduced us to Call of Duty, and before we knew it, we were hooked. The fast-paced action, the thrill of a well-placed shot, and the camaraderie of teaming up with friends felt like an escape from everything else going on in our lives. We'd spend hours in the living room, controllers in hand, as Joe—just a toddler at the time—watched us, sometimes even mimicking our hand movements with his toy cars. It became a ritual, something we could do together, a way to bond even when life seemed overwhelming. Over time, we grew to love the competitive side of the game, often staying up late to finish just one more match.
By 2014, we had moved on to Destiny, a new game that promised to be even more immersive. Sarah and I would spend hours in the Tower, outfitting our Guardians with the best gear and taking on the enemies of the Solar System. Joe had grown a little older and sometimes even joined in, controlling his own character with an enthusiasm only a kid could have.
But then, in one tragic moment, everything changed. Joe was playing in the living room and a Cabal drop pod collided with our front porch, and Joe, caught in the debris, was struck. He was rushed to the hospital, but the damage was done—he was paralyzed from the waist down. That night, Sarah and I put away our controllers for good. No more raids, no more late-night PvP battles. Our focus shifted entirely to Joe, and to giving him the support and love he needed to navigate his new reality. Life, it seemed, had hit us with its own version of a strike mission.
Anyways, Joey died from complications of long-Covid last week and now I have time to pickup the game again! What legendary primaries do good DPS at the moment? Thanks!
Guy demanded we used Wardcliffs with a Gjally and got pissed when he was told it doesn’t work
