I totally understand if this is outside the scope of what’s reasonable, but is there a Mac port planned at all? I’d love to play but I’m usually on console, my computer access is limited

Ok @destiny2team.bungie.net the changes today were exactly what I’ve been wanting!

Played with my sister & BIL for an hour and a half, we each gained about 10 or so power, while doing a lot of different activities

We had fun! It felt satisfying!

do you guys ever think about how in a better world José Andres could just like. have some restaurants. and instead he’s consistently doing the work we’re supposed to have governments for

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · 1d

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

I think it’ll easily become a top tier raid boss for me. Complicated enough to be interesting but not so hard that I couldn’t see myself doing every role (unlike salvation’s edge)

A couple months ago as part of the Bungie charity drive I commissioned art of my warlock from @bioluminosity.bsky.social

Look how cool this turned out! I love everything about it

Today’s my birthday, which means it’s time for the annual tradition of my husband logging into facebook to tell me who wished me a happy birthday

(I originally signed up with my grad school email that’s defunct & I forgot my password. I can’t get in but I never bothered to fix the situation lol)

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

And now that we know Renegades isn’t resetting power, I’d especially like to gild this season, since we’d definitely be able to next season too

aproustian @aproustian.bsky.social · 6d

I really, really hope so

I like that it will encourage us to play different activities too, depending on where the bonus engrams are

And I’m mildly concerned about the set power deltas, but overall I think it’s the right approach

I really hope the changes coming in D2 on Tuesday speed up power progression A LOT

I just…I have a job and limited time, and I’m so tired of this friggin grind

We’re still trying for 490 to clear all the GM conquests, but if we don’t make serious progress in the next few weeks it just won’t happen
