    There was a shooting at a Trump rally. Details are still being released. The meme is referencing the successful assassination of Shinzo Abe a couple years ago.

    I always thought the GameCube controller was ridiculously comfortable and ergonomic, so that's my choice. The C stick might not be for everyone though.

    Any Dreamcast fans here? Those controllers had similar ergonomics in the hand, although the lack of a second analog stick was a pretty big drawback in hindsight.

    Right now: Witch Image by Ghost. I actually created a playlist to keep track of all the songs that get stuck in my head a while ago, and I'm up to ~36 hours of songs so far. Shuffling that playlist never disappoints, because they're all songs I've been listening to in my head anyway.

    Does anyone else feel weird about the vast amounts of computing resources seemingly being wasted on generative AI services like Copilot? It might be different if this was something that could run locally without requiring an internet connection, but clearly we aren't there yet. Copilot specifically reminds me too much of Siri from iOS 5, and it's often really slow compared to competing services.

    Sucks that this will inevitably become more common, but hopefully it'll be easy enough to remap to something useful.

    $2000 should get you something pretty nice. Do you have anything specific in mind that you're planning to do with it? Important stuff to keep in mind up front, in no particular order: do you play games? How big should the screen be? How long do you want to use it on battery? Any operating system preferences?

    It’s been a bummer without loadouts, but I decided to take the opportunity to make a new build (Banner of War + Stronghold) since I don’t have easy access to my other ones right now. There are definitely worse ways to enjoy the first week of the season!

    I’m dying to try out the catalyst with my Banner of War build, but so far it still hasn’t dropped. Maybe tonight’s the night! 🤞

    I forgot to reply again: hatchling definitely procs subsistence. With enhanced subsistence, you get three shots back per kill.

    Now that hand cannons have been buffed, don’t sleep on Round Robin from Neomuna. I have a crafted roll with subsistence and hatchling, and it puts in serious work in most activities.

    Bungie also confirmed that the Dungeon Key will grant access to two dungeons next year, so it sounds like they aren't making any changes to that cadence yet.

    I've been meaning to do this for about a year now. Currently sitting at about 550/600 in the vault, so maybe I can hold off a bit longer...

  • Are there any builds you've been enjoying a lot this season? Any surprises or new exotics that worked their way into your rotation? I continue to enjoy Osmiomancy Gloves, and I also recently added Monte Carlo to the mix since it grants so much melee energy. The general consensus about Stasis still seems to be that it's falling behind the other subclasses, but Warlocks still seem like they're in great shape for now. On Titan, I haven't found much that can beat Sunbreaker with Synthoceps. It always feels ridiculous making 100+ orbs at the end of a seasonal activity.

    TL;DR, Lance Reddick is being replaced in the future by Keith David. This seems like one of the better possible outcomes after Lance's passing, and I'm pretty excited to see where we go from here!
