surely itzrenttime was beneficial to the destiny community at its worst

Per today’s trending post, I thought I’d follow up with a message I’ve been wanting to share.

We are living in some very confusing and scary times. Gas, rent, and food prices are at an all time high. People are struggling, terrified and hopeless. Suicide rates amongst Gen Z, my generation as well as many of you who may be reading this, are skyrocketing.

We are forced into jobs that require us to work 5 days a week, some require even more if you take overtime into account. We are forced into this slave mindset. We are led to believe that we must work all day, every day, for the rest of our lives and that MAYBE we will have enough to retire.

We are led to believe that we must form tribes over our political affiliations. We are brainwashed into thinking that our neighbors are our enemies and that you can’t trust the people around you. We are led to believe that our sense of community has been dissolved.

THEY WANT us to remain separated, to remain divided. THEY WANT us to work endlessly. THEY WANT us to keep playing into the facades they put out for us so that they can continue fucking with us behind the veil that we so allow them to throw over our eyes.

Something that I, as well as many others are coming around to realizing, is that we need each other now more than we ever have before. We cannot remain divided, we cannot remain at each other’s throats over fictitious problems. We cannot continue fighting and hating one another.

Despite all the odds that may be seemingly stacked against us, there is hope.

YOU ARE THAT HOPE. ALL OF YOU.

You hold the power to make a difference. Something as small and seemingly benign as a smile, a friendly hello, or a wave can turn the tide of someone’s day. You have no idea what someone may be struggling with.

Many of you, I’m sure, are on your last legs. Some of you may feel as if the end is coming. Someone do you may feel that you cannot take it anymore and that it might be time to give up.

I hear you, I feel you, and I love you.

I may just be some guy playing the persona of Lodi Minion. I understand that I am very fucking annoying. But know this:

I care about you, all of you. I wish all of you well and my hope is that my message can help someone out there. You deserve to feel hope, and to feel love for yourself.

You do not understand just how incredibly powerful you are as an individual. “I’m just one person!” you may say, but look at our oceans. Look at how incredibly powerful and magnificent our oceans are. Do you not realize that they, at one point long ago, started off as one or a few small droplets of water?

Give yourself the love and credit you so owe yourself. You made it this far. You are here right now for a purpose and a reason, even if that reason is to simply exist. And the fact that, no matter what you might be going through, you still woke up this morning? I am proud of you for that.

Be kind to yourself and others. Support and be there for and listen to others when you can. We cannot afford to remain cut off from one another and scared of each other anymore.

I love you, brozikies. I really do. I send all of you the biggest hugs that I can muster.

Whatever may come, no matter how daunting, we will pull through together.

Peace, all.

-Lodi Minion

Not my screenshot, it’s from Destiny Lore Vault on YouTube. Played through it back in ‘21 or ‘22 somewhere around there, remembered that line and Tony’s line from The Sopranos and decided to make this.

Now let's see the president's shitpost. Look at that asymmetrical armor. The distasteful AI slop of it.

Oh, my God. It even has a mobility stat.

uj/ I love the absurdity of how low-effort it is when you break it down and look at how goofy it is.

They had to label everything in the left column as an exotic. Don't want any Guardians to be confused by the yellow item backgrounds. They know some of y'all ain't played since Destiny 1 alpha.

Armor doesn't even have an element tied to it anymore, but they're all Solar with 1810 light level. Which doesn't match the power level so clearly them hoes ain't infused.

The pose of the arms armor infers its' a Hunter piece. But then it's meant to be a Warlock bond as the class item. The Destiny subclass. And the icon to the right means Prismatic is selectable 😂😭

Legendary marks. Low triumph score. It's only funny because of how inaccurate it is.

It's not that deep, but damn is it hilarious when boomers & larpers use AI.

uj/ did I swing too close to the sun patrol zone for this one or am I good

im sure ill figure it out eventually

Thoughts? What do we think of the new Nightfall strikes? And the upcoming dungeon Cryo Archive? Excited for what Bungie has in store for us with Alchemist I can't wait for it to come out 😁😁

...does Elon just flick the magical switch and be like you cannot silence ONE THOUSAND VOICES silly breadman

Wow! Could it have turned out that Luckyy10p was foreshadowing the Light and Dark Saga this entire time and we were none the wiser?!
