    I thought PSN had custom avatars allowed.

    I think they only show if you are "real name" friends.

    So when Destiny 2 comes out everyone change your avatar and it will be like you get to meet everyone all over again.

    I will have trouble parting with my googly-eyed chicken gif, because it makes me smile, no matter how salty I am.

    Well, it probably won't be too hard to find an appropriate replacement for mine.

    Its been longer than that, its been 3 weeks since I got the "shipped" message but at least a month and a half since I placed the order.

    Artisan t-shirts take time to fabricate, and can only be delivered by sea. It's on the fastest shipping freighter in the fleet!

    I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm just asking, when's the last time you planted a transmat beacon in Europe, Guardian?

    Oh yeah the shirt. Got mine last week. I feel like I should quote my own post and call myself an idiot... but it is a nice shirt. What does the phrase on the front mean again?

    Oh totally, I just meant it's more effective to use Frostees rather than Felwinters so you still get a super. Crunching some numbers, T5 gives you 25 second cooldowns on melee and grenade. With Frostees you get that in half, so 13 seconds to charge while running. The running only effects first slot, so second melee and grenade are still 25 seconds.

    So if you use all melees and grenades, to get to full charge again will take 38 seconds and that's if you run to use Frostees. Pretty good, but not as good as simply using both charges with Frostees once and winding up again with sprint. So Max time for two full grenades and melees with Felwinters: 38 seconds
    Max time to same effect if wombo is used between is 26-27 seconds. I don't think the second charge is worth giving up the super, is all, but that's just me.

    So, remember like last week or two I said it was stupid of Bungie to keep all the API stuff under wraps until launch and how they should let people work for free to make their game better?

    So I guess I have to say nice things about Bungie now.

    API docs are going up like a week ahead of launch though the API won't be turned on until actual game launch. That is actually pretty reasonable as opening the API is going to spoil a shitton of things. Like ideally they'd have a very limited data set open on it but I can understand that's a bunch more risk and work.

    One of the DIM guys is saying they might be able to open it for D2 in a couple days after launch. Depends on technical details and how long it takes them to beat the story.

    Being a Canadian with a US mail pickup, I'm suddenly wondering if the mail pickup notification my fiancée is going to get from the States is the wedding dress she ordered from Seattle or my Triumph shirt...

    A crew up happened, she's getting a wedding dress combined with your triumph shirt.

    I stopped halfway through because I got the sword which, aside from emblem and shader, is all I wanted. @Yall if you ever want to finish it I'm down. If I recall we hit a wall based on his LL.

    I just assumed they'd make it available to everyone by the end of D1 like the Redbull quest, but nope! The list of armor, weapons and other gubbins you can't get in D1 once D2 hits is gonna be crazy.

    And yes, it totally is. ElementWrath is nice and all, but there's a lot going on in this new one that I really like.

    Presently crafting the new OP - beer in hand, headphones on, D2 trailers playing. I'm transcribing an awesome Zavala speech for it, but... man, almost every other sentence ends in a preposition. I can't have that. I'm going to need to take some creative license.

    These are the things that keep me up at night, thread. THIS IS THE CAUSE TO WHICH I HAVE GIVEN MY LIFE <3

    Edit: Ehh, maybe artist's intent trumps my dumb prescriptivism. Judgment call. We'll see.

    New OP is ready for deployment. It's not a radical change or anything. Just a foundation for things to come. But I'm excited. Clan mega-roster shakeup probably the next thing happening. Night, all.

    I was a proofreader in a previous job. Ending sentences with prepositions is totally OK! It's just a style thing - I'd only avoid doing it if the people reading your copy are likely to take (unfounded) exception :D
