A Podcast Without Light

With 3 weeks and almost every bit of the game explored and understood, it's time to take time and talk about #destiny2.

A very tired Chim talks about Day 1 in Destiny 2 land and what is to come based off what we saw. (The Future Looks Good Y'all)

Technology fought Chim most of this Episode, but Chim knew he had to get at least one episode out before he gets lost in D2. (All typos are his and his alone.)

The PC beta inevitably draws some comparison to it's console brethren. We talk about cognitive load and ergonomics when it comes to D2/FPS mechanics, and a little about Chim's dyspraxia.

We spend some time thinking about raids and some time getting hyped about the PC beta. A quick pivot before the real fun begins.

Whole bunch of D2 news and updates got Chim hyped enough to go of script. Let's talk the spoils of an embargo lift and the true friendship found in clans.

Today, we're talking about guns, human centrism, and language, through the lens of Destiny, poems, and pop culture.

Let's talk fandom, joy, and believing in both.

Getting riled up over a PopTart cross promotional has me thinking about the role Destiny 1 had in clearing my headspace, and goddamn, D2 is so far away.

"In real life, ghosting sucks. In Destiny, it means you're a Guardian."

During the content draught of Destiny 1 in wait for Destiny 2, I talk a little too candidly about my dating life. Welp.

In this short breather, we take a second to look at our goals for D2. At time of recording, it's 5 weeks aways, so it's perfectly reasonable to think about it heavily right?

And for the first day of the Forgotten August of Destiny 1, we chat about the more general video game history and a little about why robots are better than humans.

August 1st marks the end to Destiny 1's recorded history as the developers begin preparation for mass data migration. We take a moment to reflect on what this means for Guardians and ourselves.

Post.D2 Beta, A Podcast Without Light discuss a clan dynamic not covered in the JoAN oral history, the leadership and leadership tactics.

In preparation for the clan migration occurring tomorrow, Chim recounts the Oral History of the Jacks of All Nades and it's prior iterations to how he found his friends in the wilds of Destiny.

Today's probably the last chance I'll get to play the beta, so let's wrap this week together in a nice bow, shall we?

We do a hot take on the Striker and Sentinel. Because we can. Because it's interesting to see where we came from and where we're going.

Day 2 Reactions to the Beta. We talk the good (the game) and the bad (the people who don't have tact when complaining).

Before the interlude, hear a recreation of the host's work day. After the interlude, hear the reaction.

As our host keeps saying "BETA," he also talks about the biggest prospective shift happening between D1 and D2: role definition.

I take a stroll down the things that were happening in my life, to give a sense of why I latched on to Destiny. Because when something in my life changes, I inevitably think about how my life changed.

We talk about "The Grind", both in life and Destiny 1 and grad school and in a little meta moment, this podcast.

With new footage release about the Sentinel subclass, Chim waxes poetic about the reasons he is connected with his Titan.

With more information about the new direction of Destiny 2's, I meditate on if I even care. (Spoilers: I do, but not as much as I thought.)
