  • There was a period of about 2 years where every single one of my friends played Destiny religiously. Every day I could log on and just have 2 friends ready to run strikes or get a ragtag team of 6 and run raids (yes, plural).)

    15 to 20 members in the clan, just loving this flawed game, having laughs, bantering, even getting deep and serious about relationships, politics, religion, and more.

    Even the fights that meant we kicked out 2 racist pieces of garbage from the clan are such precious memories to me.

    We have lives now, partners and jobs. I still play, but I raid with strangers or not at all. Sometimes we log on and do an old activity together or run trials, we laugh and have fun, bit never again will we be carefree, and whimsical.





  • You can’t win a game against people who aren’t following the rules. What you’re suggesting works when there’s a foundational understanding that is shared, otherwise they must be kicked out of the game (by society at large) until they agree to follow the rules.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s a far-right conspirasist that believes Democrats eat blended up human babies or a far-left feminist that believes bullets and rockets are penis shaped to oppress the masses by flaunting the power of the white man to keep the patriarchy in power.

    We teach this to children, everyone can play regardless of color, origin, or race, but as soon as any of the kids start biting or screaming in peoples ears, they’re not allowed to play with the rest. Its called consequences.

    I’m both.

    I have short term memory (unstable)

    Long term memory (stable, unless interrupted while I’m accessing it, then I forget)

    Niche, hyper focused interest and accidentally creepy memory (etched into my soul by Kokūsō Bosatsu, the God of memory himself)

    But how does it apply? Any 4 walls and a ceiling? Does a window count as being open to invitation? If the vampire knocks down a wall is it now outdoors and they’re free to go anywhere that was formerly “inside”

    If I put a box I own in someone else’s house the vampire has access to can he not access my box while I’m in it? What about a casita style house inside a larger house, like a mother-in-law suite?

    Can anyone inside invite them? Can they have a thrall of theirs force or trick their way inside and invite the vampire in?

    What if you’re renting? What if the house was appropriated? What if there’s a land dispute? What if the land was appropriated? What if it fall under imminent domain? What if it’s split ownership? What if there’s a dissociative personality involved?

    There’s so much to be straight up dismissive as “they’re dumb friends”.

    [In the US] A warrant is permission from the representative of a governmental entity that is ultimately in charge of the land and could legally take it from you, so if theydo take it from you, do you still own it? Even if you can’t get it back? By that logic does the US own any of the land, since it was first the land of a different peoples?



  • BambiDiegotomemesNice one

    Sometimes my wife says she doesn’t like so much downtime at work. I understand her frustration, but I don’t empathize.

    Pay me to slack off, that’s the life.
