#updates and expansions are good but if you're adding content then removing it after three months fuck you

[zerobotic]

the worst thing is when an old hyperfixation comes back but it’s one you can’t even go back to revisit

every now and then i feel nostalgic about destiny 2 and i always remind myself that the parts of the game i feel nostalgic for arent even in the game anymore but this time it’s gone past nostalgia and has re-entered full-blown hyperfixation territory and i’m :(

i stopped playing at beyond light and now the vast majority of the game i played doesn’t exist anymore and even if i wanted to buy every expansion since then the seasonal model ensures i still wont get to see all the content i missed. frankly i stopped playing in the first place because i was sick of being made to feel like there was a timer on everything and if i stopped playing for a couple months i’d miss important story content and entire sections of the game that i’d already paid for. get that fomo shit outta here. and then the content vaulting and gear sunsetting was the final nail in the coffin because in addition to most of the game i loved and had paid for going away, now you were gonna ask me to grind for gear i could only use short-term before having to do it again? no.

but. god DAMN do i miss the world and lore. there is absolutely nothing else i’ve been able to find that can occupy the space in my mind that the destiny world carved out. ive been binge reading lore for the past two days, catching up on all the stuff ive missed since beyond light, and even with my contentious relationship with the game itself it’s still SO cool reading this shit. i miss it. i miss the experience of playing this game (the exploring and shooting and doing raids and experiencing the story stuff play out, not the fomo mechanics and bullshit that made me quit)
