When Destiny 2 came out in 2017, the conventional wisdom was that Bungie did not suck. Destiny 1 came out in 2014 and is still fully playable.

It wasn’t until 2020 that Bungie decided to start screwing everyone over with D2. Ironically, 1 year after ending their partnership with Activision.

Of all the various problems Destiny had, it looks like Bungie was the source and not big, bad Activision.

$95 for a case with no disc in it. No thank you.

Won’t help you in a case like Destiny 2, where all the content is hosted online by Bungie and they decided to completely remove 1/2 of the original base game plus the first few expansions.

Surprising nobody.

Definitely. Post Y2K most of the problems were fixed, except one state started issuing titles for “Horseless Carriages” because that’s how they classified vintage vehicles.

Front line tech during the Y2K crisis. I had 60 software updates to manage across 600 car dealerships from Texas to Guam.

The real trick was convincing everyone to do it early because the '00 model year cars were coming out in '98 and '99 and could have broken a lot of things.

“Y2K? That’s months from now!”

“When do you get your '00 cars?”

“Next week.”

“Do you want to be able to sell them?”

“!!” (Metal Gear Solid noise)

I’d like to think, if it were all just a simulation, whoever running it would be better at it. :)

“I’m sorry, let me use smaller words.” is one of my favorite insults. :)

It’s way more expensive.

Cooking is chemistry. You want to add salt before and during cooking, generally not after.

Adding +100 years is more of a curse than a benefit… Like the old song says:

“Methuselah lived 900 years.
Methuselah lived 900 years.
I don’t call that livin’
'Cause no gal’l give in
To no man…
Who lived 900 years.”

Was that the one loosely based on Beowulf? I saw it in the theater and didn’t have a problem with it.

Aha!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior

“based on Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead,[5] which is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.”

Crichton, man. His influence was just astounding. Obligatory “fuck cancer”.
