Transfer of service question?

Hi all,

Looking to transfer my phone line from my current account (shared with my parents and sibling) to my wife's family plan (her, sibling, sibling-in-law, and their parents). Made a little more complicated by the fact that my parents and I are now estranged (unfortunately lost them very abruptly to conspiracy theories and online disinformation 🙃)

Is it really as simple as it seems? My wife and I are both account managers on our current plans and I just want to be sure I am not missing anything before making the switch.

  1. I initiate on my end as Account Manager

  2. She accepts on her end as Account Manager (selecting proper plan and all that)

  3. That's it?

Appreciate any confirmation!

I think the public event chest was wearing a Heavy Ammo Scout mod on its helmet...

Anybody need a brick? I got plenty.

Teach me your favorite dungeons so that I can teach more Guardians!

As a dad with kids who no longer need every- second supervision (hallelujah), I finally have the time for more consistent and lengthier gaming sessions, which means dungeons are back on the table! I have run a fair amount (both years back and recently), but looking to comfortably be able to understand and explain the mechanics for the future, when I run through or help others. I loved doing it for D1 raids and hope to take on D2 dungeon sherpa duties, as well.

Always happy to hop into whatever you're running - just learning the mechanics and getting the practice down is great, loot is just an extra bonus. I've got a mic, stay chill, and just look to have a good time!

Feel free to DM me or reply below. I'm on most nights after 10pm EST (and stay up way too late), plus a bunch during the day, and would love to run some of your favorite dungeons with you!

(Vesper's Host is currently the one I want to try most)

I'm glad that the menu graphic for Gambler's Dodge has always been, and will forever be, hilariously goofy.

It looks like he was running full speed and tripped.

[US, US] [H] 20x Baby Shiny Lot (Paldean Fates + Shining Fates) [W] PayPal

Hey all!

EDIT: SOLD! (that was fast)

That's all for this week! A huge thank you to everyone who helped my daughter and I complete our "Sparkles and Stars" binder. The binder is complete and I promised I'd share! (NFS!)

We had a long-lost package with a whole bunch of baby shinies finally get delivered after we already purchased some replacements, so just looking to move the duplicates lot in a quick, easy deal!

Market on the lot is $161 - yours for $145 (including BMWT shipping)!

Note: we will not be piecing/parting this out - moving only as a single lot to keep things simple for everyone.

My most minor gripe in 12 years of Destiny: Arms Armor Mod wording!!

I have to carefully read each one every time because they're not worded the same way (and I'm way too dumb to remember which is which by name alone). These aren't even the order they're listed in-game (it goes Impact-Bolstering-Momentum-Focusing) which makes it even more confusing!

  • Impact Induction - Causing damage with a powered melee attack reduces your grenade cooldown.
    • Alternative to match Bolstering Detonation/Focusing Strike: "Grants grenade ability energy when you cause damage with a powered melee attack"
  • Momentum Transfer - Causing damage with a grenade reduces your melee cooldown.
    • Alternative to match Bolstering Detonation/Focusing Strike: "Grants melee ability energy when you cause damage with a grenade"
  • Bolstering Detonation - Grants class ability energy when you cause damage with a grenade.
    • Alternative to match Impact Induction/Momentum Transfer: "Causing damage with a grenade reduces your class ability cooldown"
  • Focusing Strike - Grants class ability energy when you cause damage with a powered melee attack.
    • Alternative to match Impact Induction/Momentum Transfer: "Causing damage with a powered melee attack reduces your class ability cooldown"

I always found this little thing so mildly irritating that it always made me chuckle. See you in Iron Banner - please go easy on me, I'm the PVE guy accidentally dropping a Well in a 1v1.

A tiny miracle after a 12-day purgatory.

Totally wrote this package off, and tomorrow was the first day seller could file for insurance. But after a 12 day "self-discovery journey" it does look like my package is at least moving again!

Sending good thoughts and vibes for all the missing mail, and may you get lucky with your deliveries!

[US, US] [W] 12 Baby Shinies (Paldean Fates + Shining Fates) to complete our collection! [H] PayPal

Hey all,

First of all, thank you to so many of you who have contributed to this collection my daughter and I have been putting together. It's been so much fun for both of us and has actually led to her asking me to teach her how to play the TCG!

Unfortunately, we had one final shipment of cards that would have completed our set get lost in the mail 2 weeks ago and has not reappeared on a single scan since ( RIP :/ ). USPS customer service hasn't been able to help (so I'm assuming they're not arriving) and I'm still working out the refund with the seller, which means time to do the Dad Duty ™ and pick up the replacements myself! Already got a few locally, but have a handful more still needed:

Here is the TCGCollector list of the remaining cards we still need! - I'll make sure to update as we confirm deals.

As usual, looking to make things simple and easy - let me know what you have (timestamp photo appreciated) and what your ask is! I will probably aim to pick up bigger lots (to give them fewer chances to go missing in the mail LOL) rather than 1 card at a time, but definitely game to take a look at anything you have that helps us finish the binder!

Of course, thanks for checking the post out, and looking forward to sharing the complete project when finished! Thanks and have a great week :)

Need help with Deep Stone Crypt? Offering some assistance!

Hey all!

Offering a hand to any folks who need some help with Deep Stone Crypt. Definitely not qualified enough to be a full-fledged "Sherpa" but can explain the mechanics, roles, etc. without raging. It's a great raid - beautiful, great loot, and the best song in Destiny history. Come experience it yourself!

If you're looking for a relaxed group to run it with you, or (like me) it had been a while, feel free to comment below (do not DM) and I will try to get to as many of you before reset as I can! To help balance groups, please let me know your platform, raid experience, and time zone.

All I ask is the following:

  • Be courteous, polite, and patient. Wipes and mistakes will happen a ton - that's OK! Each failed run is a chance for someone to learn a way to improve.

  • Have a mic. I prefer to use in-game comms for ease of access (so if you don't have Discord, that's ok!).

  • Spend ~5 minutes looking up the basics of the encounters (if you haven't done it before). Plenty of good YouTube and text guides, plus loads on reddit. That way, if I say "Operator," you at least know it's a key word to focus on!

And that's about it! The raid is one of my favorites, and hopefully can become one of yours too! I am usually running after my kids are in bed, around 10pm EST most nights and will try and organize a bit before to ensure a full group.

Request that we introduce a new subreddit flair - the "Patrick Star"

Anybody who leaves a post titled "Bungie, before you go...." or "Can we get X looked at one more time?" or "Do you think they'll rotate the Pantheon encounters?" should hereby have to display a brand new, Patrick Star themed flair.

This is genuinely what the subreddit feels like sometimes.

I recognize it's a difficult time and I appreciate y'all, but everyone's reading comprehension needs a deep dive. No more content means no more content, and now no more patch/bug fixes means no more patch/bug fixes.

So did this just fall off a belt somewhere in the facility? Any chance it ever gets moving again?

Super cute gift I got for my daughter's birthday. Was supposed to arrive June 20. Not a single update since arriving in Philly 5 days ago has me concerned. Thoughts?

Looking back on all the amazing trailers this franchise has given us, here are my top 3!

I honestly "had to" pick 3, but there are easily 10-15 trailers that I could. make arguments for. Generally, I went with ones with soundtracks and gameplay that got me hyped for the expansion and upcoming story.

  1. The Witch Queen (Launch Trailer)
  2. Lightfall Trailer (Game Awards 2022)
  3. The Final Shape (Gameplay Trailer)

Let me know if there are some that you really like! I know Beyond Light had some bangers, Forsaken had a bunch of "honorable mentions" here, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------

Popular pick so far: The Final Shape (Launch Trailer)

Hey all,

Simple post this week - some PC wants!

Let me know what ya have and if we can make a deal! Prefer multiple cards from the same user for simplicity's sake, but I am always happy to take a look at whatever ya got.

Please include a timestamp with your comment to save some time. I will update the above list to only show cards I still need (removing those I've made deals on already) to make it easier for you!

Thanks in advance - hope everyone has a great weekend!

Because I see this 25 times a day: Pack Tactics vs. Thunderous Retort

Your game is crashing, bugging out, or softlocking you because you have 7x Pack Tactics on and you've bamboozled the engine.

Switch to 7x Thunderous Retort and you won't have the issues, it seems to be handled just fine. If you started with the Pack Tactics breaking your game, close and restart it, as well.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I love Wavesplitter...'s lore tab so, so much.

Please, I beg you, at least peek at the lore tabs of weapons and armor before you shard 'em. There are some absolute gems inside.


Omolon's newest breakthrough uses focused sonic waves to superheat electrons into a devastating energy beam.

From the makers of the Coldheart comes the latest in breakthrough City Age technology: the Wavesplitter. Here are the three most frequently asked questions we get about our revolutionary weaponized sound system.

Q: If the Wavesplitter fires sound waves, does it need ammo packs?

A: The Wavesplitter does need ammo packs, but the onboard matter transmuter turns that ammo into electrical energy that powers the waveform emitter.

Q: What does it sound like when you're hit by it?

A: Our Guardian testers give us many different answers. Some say it sounds like a scream you hear in your bones. Others say it sounds like a dying star. Still others say it reminds them of a knife shaped like a B flat.

Q: Can the Wavesplitter be used as a musical instrument?

A: The Wavesplitter was not designed to be a musical instrument. That said, we at Omolon are in the business of giving Guardians options, not taking them away.

[US, US] [W] LP+/NM baby shinies from Hidden Fates, Shining Fates, and Paldean Fates! [W] PayPal

Edit: Title should say [H] PayPal! Sorry about that :/

Hey all!

The work continues on our family "Sparkles and Stars" binder! This has been so much fun for my daughter and I to work on together and I'm really grateful to all of you who have been helping us along - we're just shy of 140 cards collected so far, with a few more on the way!

Here's the list of what we still need!

And the usual disclaimers:

  • Open to picking up a few bigger cards or a handful of smaller cards, but would love to get multiple cards in per transaction. Obviously, sticking to something like 90% makes it a lot easier for us than paying full comps on things, but always happy to at least talk it out - never any hard feelings!
    • Full transparancy, I'm only trying to be a little more cost-conscious here than I normally would be since a portion of this binder project comes from her saved allowance, so I'm trying to be a good steward and explain how deals get negotiated and priced and such (ignore the part where I'm in a 90/10 split with her LOL! - she's having fun and that's all that matters!!).
    • For Paldean Fates, we will ask for closeups to avoid getting any ink error cards.
  • I'll be posting this list throughout the summer as we continue to add, so while I won't be grabbing everything this time, I can definitely loop back on anyone who we can't pick up from this go-around.

Once again, you all are an awesome group to trade, buy, sell, and hang with. Thanks so much and hope you have a great weekend!

A thank-you to this community: GIVEAWAY for some free LOOT!

Guardians! As we move into the next stage in our Destiny journey, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some memories, but more importantly, GIVE AWAY SOME LOOT!

There's a great print/poster that was made in honor of Destiny 2's 6th Birthday, featuring so many Destiny memories, that I have an extra (sealed) copy of and want to share with another Guardian!

The rules are simple:

  • Leave a top-level comment with your favorite Destiny memory.
    • It can be your first time dropping Atheon in the Vault of Glass, your last time getting stomped in the Crucible before rage-quitting for the weekend, or that one time you finally got that exotic engram to drop after farming Draksis in D1 for what felt like 100 hours.
  • You must be in the US (for shipping reasons) - I will cover the costs.

A winner will be picked at random (using a random comment picker) on Wednesday, June 10, at 10pm EST. Assuming the winning commenter meet eligibility, I'll update this post as well as reply to the winner directly below (and send a DM) when a winner is picked. If the selected comment is ineligible, I will run the process again!

Thanks for being a great community to be a part of throughout all these years, and may there be many more ahead.

See you starside!

(I have run this by the Mod team in advance to make sure everything is kosher and they have given me the go-ahead!)

We've heard from everyone... except the executives.

With all the amazing changes in the patch notes, TWIDs, and Dev Insight articles, it's all the more apparent how badly lopsided this studio was in terms of talent and C-suite.

We've gotten passionate farewells from the art team, the music team, and the community managers. We have seen our beloved voice actors record deep, meaningful messages to the playerbase. We have had countless streamers and content creators dive into this to discuss outcomes and options.

Amidst all this?

Silence from the Game Director. Silence from anyone at Sony, or PlayStation.

While I am not going to let that stick in my craw and ruin the rest of my time with the game, it just seems... frustrating? that those directly responsible for ending live service are the ones who aren't brave enough to even speak up. I don't expect them to, but just can't help feeling disappointed at how cowardly they've been.

If you need me, Guardians, I'll be offering hugs by Zavala all day.

What ship does your Guardian have equipped? Showcase time!

So far, you guys have sounded off on your equipped seal and on your equipped Ghost shell - now I want to hear what ships you're in!

Comment down below with the name and I'll link a picture in the reply for everyone to see. Let us know if you like to flex a difficult-to-earn piece, if it's tied to a specific memory or timeframe, or maybe you just think it's neat (spoiler: that's me, too).

Currently, I'm rocking Mutable Sepia with my Hunter - the tail moves like a whale and it has a little tiny remora-like ship under one wing like a manta ray! Warlock has Starfarer 7M always, and Titan's got Karve of the Worm.

Keep 'em coming, Guardians
