You folks shit yourselves and you're angry at everyone for calling out the smell.

Well, probably Helldivers 1 actually, but I'm trying to make a point lol

There have definitely been times when I've simply beaten the heck out of the party until they were sufficiently panicked. Of course, it's always best when the numbers work out just right on their own. But if they don't... 👹

bungie is of course not obligated to hire me when making a game that draws overwhelmingly from the same design language i have refined for the last decade, but clearly my work was good enough to pillage for ideas and plaster all over their game without pay or attribution.

Man, I used to be such a bungie fanboy. They've really put in so much effort over the last 10 years to teach me that this was a mistake.

Sorry this happened to you.

What's coming:

The fight will be short. A beam of blue light will crash down from the mithril core of the shattered moon, destroying the tower that is their only passage back to the past. From the debris will emerge the possessed form of the group's old druid, having waited 10k years to find them.

The party has followed the big bad 10k years into the future, when the world has frozen over. The last remnants of civilization are only found in dead tunnels carved into the surrounding mountain ridge, played like a flute by the blizzard winds. They begin their confrontation.

Further: the big bad has made a deal with otherwordly powers to resurrect his love obsession, a jeweler he subconsciously conflates with his dead wife, whom he killed as he transformed into an orc.

The party discovered they were partly responsible for the jeweler's death in a previous adventure.

The big bad has used their psychic abilities to steal the device's schematics from the weakened god, so it can be recreated in the south, where the army waits.

Group discovered what the local big bad is up to: using a god-powered time travel device to create a bridge across the desolate future for their leader's army to cross unbothered into the north.

It feels a corporate version of The Thing got Bungie while nobody was looking and is now wearing Destiny's skin, hoping we don't notice.

Destiny already had all the elements they say they're drawing from in Star Wars. This is probably just the bullet they had to bite to get a show on Disney+. It's just so clearly a money-only thing, with no creative spark behind it. It's probably gonna do super well, too.
