FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU (Off-Topic)

Because that Titan is a level 7 and people dropped out.

That's actually my point--he's 7, not like...3.

The Devil's Lair is a level 8 Strike. That means 80% damage and 80% armor. Slightly more difficult, but still very manageable, alone or not. So unless this is his very very very first time--and not as a Titan, but the very absolute first time picking up Destiny at ALL, it still shouldn't take that long.

Back when I was 14, killing Aksor at the end of Winter's Run was insanely frustrating. To this day, I still hate that strike more than anything. However, it still took less than 45 minutes to clear the boss.

85 minutes on the easiest and lowest level strike in the game?!

I know this is a dick move, but it's too damn sweet not to give you some of your own advice when I was upset:

GIT GUD

I'll probably only git better, and only a little. :) Did I give you advice back then? I saw a pattern of over-the-top, profane rants over not much and pointed that out is all. Maybe THAT was a dick move.

I didn't do so in this case in part because I hadn't noticed the pattern with Raflection, and Funkmon had covered the "chill out" aspect of what I might say.

Also, while we're here, about profanity, many don't seem to know how to express emotion without working très blue, and I tire of being the guy who rolls his eyes. (There doesn't seem to be such a thing as mild profanity anymore--everything is effing Christ cream-in-my-jeans hyperbole, and it's the only thing about hanging with you kids that makes me feel old.)

I'm no angel on this score myself, but I recognize that this is essentially a public forum full of diverse people. Maybe for a large portion of people here, it's just the way we talk now, but I wouldn't know. I'm old.

It's been said that cursing is a crutch for people who lack vocabulary, but I disagree--it is possible to curse with flair such that a message is enhanced, but that takes a talent I'm not convinced everyone has.

P.S. it was really a pleasure to meet you this past weekend. Look forward to playing together soon.
