Raiding, to blind or not to blind (Destiny)

I mean I don’t see it as different than anything else in videogames. If you’ve never play a video game before, you don’t “know” touching a goomba in Mario will kill you. You do it, and you see what happens. You don’t “know” that you can break bricks if you’re big. You just discover that. You don’t “know” hidden blocks exist. You find them.

The rules of every game only reveal themselves one you get in there and start playing. It’s always been a part of learning how to win.

I've never put together this way, but I like feeling like I'm immersed in a fictional world. Blind raiding just means you're on the elite squad of guardians willing to scope out the unknown. It's cool, man.

I love picturing an "elite" squad of anything that involves just "trying" things until something works, dying multiple times in the process. I felt like I was on an elite squad of lemmings.

Doing calus prestige with an LFG group? That felt like being a part of an elite squad.
