Destiny makes people feel bad. It frustrates them, teases them, infuriates them, taunts them. Isn't there something inherently wrong with this?

I agree with the message of your post, but disagree with the literal meaning--which of course wasn't the point anyway. But I needed a segue:

car15 doesn't like Destiny and doesn't like this community, and everyone is aware of it. That pretty much makes it impossible to effectively troll. We have no reason to care, at all. How can I possibly become irritated by him? How can I value his comments?

Oh no, someone random person said something intended to rile people up. Oooooh noooooo. Save us, mods. Ban the bad man, he's scary.

The fact that he keeps turning up is actually just kind've sad.

There were two movies dude.

Adults take responsibility for their feelings.

Feelings happen. You can't control them. Adults only take responsibility for how they act on their feelings.

Untrue. You posted, I got this huge feeling and desire to call you a troll because you are, and I could have totally not done it, but here I am doing it. You're a troll. Shame on me for feeding you.

Either way, it's irrelevant to my point and, I suspect, a botched attempt at an ad hominem based on my history here.

Mine isn't botched. You're a troll.

...about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.

Yeah but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.

Only if you let it.

It started to frustrate and infuriate me a few weeks back, and then I came to a very simple conclusion.

The game can tease and taunt me all it wants with super awesome loots, but the truth is there's a subsection of that loot I'll never get to play with. It's either locked behind activities I loathe (Crucible), or things tedious and mind numbing (ranking up factions), or up to the fickle RNG gods. As soon as I accepted that there were just going to be things I was never going to be able to have hands on time with, I started enjoying myself again.

Spend time doing what you enjoy doing, not what you hate doing, and accept that doing so means you won't get to have ALL THE THINGS.

You're now stacking premises I don't accept. Feelings happen, yes, but they are not sacrosanct. Many people can control their feelings such that they can minimize or detach from feelings they don't want.

No attack on you, but a criticism of your statement.

Here are two factual statements:

Some people don't enjoy playing Destiny. Some people enjoy playing Destiny.

The latter statement undermines your argument. That the former statement is true does not indicate that there is anything inherently wrong with Destiny.

I've been meaning to thank you for the Going Nowhere Fast highlights that you edited together in 2005. I really enjoyed the video, and found a few new songs to obsess over. And I found a new way out of Silent Cartographer. :)

So, thank you. Ten years later.

(I should probably not wait 10 years to thank people.)

One of my first memories of Cody was watching him drop to the bottom of Silent Cartographer. I didn't know you could do that.

Also agree: cool tunes.
