@alextotheandru@cianmaher0 So, a 75 tweet version of Destiny lore and terminology, because I love this game and it sounded like a fun challenge. We'll start at the beginning of the lore, and work our way forward to the games. Let's see if I can make this work.
@alextotheandru@cianmaher0 You play as "The Guardian", who is effectively a magic space zombie soldier granted immortality by a giant space orb called "the Traveler". The Guardians guard the Traveler, which has sat motionless in the sky above Earth's last safe city from the start of Destiny 1 in 2014.
@alextotheandru@cianmaher0 The Guardians are zombies - they were humans that died centuries ago, and were revived by tiny floating robots spawned from the Traveler called "Ghosts". The Ghosts finds a corpse with potential, reanimates it, and as long as the Ghost survives, they can revive their Guardian.
OK, since I'm getting this question a lot right now:
To start with Destiny, buy Beyond Light, then buy the 'Season of the Lost" pass in the 'Seasons" menu to play what's happening now. It'll give you a reasonable intro and plenty of current stuff to do for a few months.
If you enjoy that, & are done with “Season of the Lost” in three months-ish, there’ll likely be a lull in Destiny content for a bit later. At that point, you might consider the Beyond Light Deluxe Upgrade, which gives you the earlier Seasons of the Hunt, Chosen, & Splicer.
The basic cadence of Destiny is:
- A yearly Expansion
— Season 1
— Season 2
— Season 3
— Season 4
To play fully, you want to own the current Expansion (“Beyond Light”) and the current Season (Season 4, “Season of the Lost”). It’s a bit confusing hopping in, but…
Israel said it'll kill until there is "absolute quiet", & they mean it - they will kill & harm until every Palestinian has lost someone just in this last week, to remind Palestinians that peaceful protest means death, & that their rights are forfeit even in the international eye.
Every time you don't say #FreePalestine or #SaveSheikhJarrah, every time you stay quiet, the Palestinians are reminded that Israel will get away with these atrocities against protest, against life, against human rights, even in the full view of the world. Don't be part of that.
Palestine is watching to see what their lives & rights are worth to the world. Are you gonna help Israel prove to them that their lives & rights are forfeit? Or are you going to give them & their children hope that justice is possible?
Hey, it sucks @IGN & @gameinformer's posts & tweets with humanitarian resources supporting Palestine are gone - but it is clear their teams had no choice. They had a choice in posting, & unlike many others, they did.
Can we send a quick supportive tweet for chosing to speak up?
Nobody accidentally posts and tweets a list of resources to support the Palestinians. These are brave, potentially career-ending choices - and instead of blaming them for trying, let's support them for being brave, and blame the corporate owners that censored them.
The impact seeing the Palestinian flag next to the IGN logo had on me is impossible to overstate, or the article on Game Informer. Even if it was only up for a day before their teams were silenced, that day matters. How many people saw that flag, that post, & educated themselves?
Understand how important this is: clearly @IGN and @gameinformer editorial posted this under their editorial freedom. If these posts are gone, it very likely means their corporate owners stepped across the editorial barrier & forced the censorship of those humanitarian resources.
Here are details for IGN and Game Informer's corporate. Do send your objections.
My thanks to @IGN & @gameinformer Editorial for running these posts, very likely aware of the risks of spreading these humanitarian resources to support the oppressed Palestinian people against the current Israeli-instigated aggression.
