#lil video games rant bc the people I’d usually rant to are on the other end & im very upset/sad#destiny 2 new dungeon dropped this week & me and a friend were clearing it#brought a friend’s brother that we both only tolerate in today to clear it#I’d been enjoying learning about the dungeon and how to do it as we go bc I like learning and experiencing with friends#but other friend’s brother has done up to and attempted third and final encounter and friend has DONE encounter#which was already kinda :/// but we#I figure that I basically know how the encounter works from videos I’ll be fine#we get there and they just totally leave me in the dust. I might as well have not been there#like I am not a part of the mechanics doing and I’m barely killing enemies#because they’ve both done this and know how to do it and I came in with a “well I mostly know and I’ll pick the rest up’#sounds small but I felt very othered and burdensome#I felt like an afterthought#and all the fun of the whole thing was taken out because I wasn’t a part of the mechanics doing and I wasn’t getting to figure anything out#I was in a room by myself trying to look for symbols to be helpful and also trying to figure out how to shoot some things we needed to shoot#and when we got to damage the boss they activated a kill mechanic before I had a chance to get to the safe zone#felt like I was dead weight#and it’s worse because of how much friend and I have talked about other friend’s brother barely knowing anything about the game and…#flexing what little knowledge he has#like that makes me look bad#and on top of all of that like… this is the one dungeon where I’m just straight up in another world of understanding from friend#he completely gets it and I don’t#I will ///never/// be helpful in that encounter because I will ///never/// get it the same way#because he went and left me the fuck behind#so now any desire I had to run that dungeon is dead#and I was so excited for it before but now I’m just kinda… averse#idk none of this sounds that serious when I type it but this is the one way I have to connect to these friends#so it kind of just sucks that others have run away on their own when we’ve always done these things together#like… I’m sorry that I play the game to play with friends and not to Be The Best or Get The Weapon or Complete The Objective#they both know I’m upset so maybe it’ll be different next time but idk I kinda don’t wanna do this again
