  • I played destiny 1 to death. Loved that game and the expansions were all great quality and genuinely made the game better.

    Destiny 2 came out and i felt like it was over. I gave it a good go but the fun was just not there. The worlds were boring, the level or RPG from the outset was way too high. The problem they had was resetting the progress of players who had the first game down toa science and then dropping you in to a new game which is immediately massively convoluted with relic this, augment that, skill tree this, weapon mod that. It was too complex and gave me anxiety trying to work out what the best loadout was and then everything i spent time working out was null and void cone the next expansion.

    Destiny 1 was amazing. Destiny 2 was a dumpster fire.

    Similar thing happened to overwatch. 1 was addictive and rewarding. 2 was a cashgrab and not even close to what was promised.










  • Yeah, i think its all about use cases.

    I use home assistant in a tablet on the kitchen wall, for light control, ev charging and battery level monitoring for mine and my wife’s car which is not intuitive or easy in the official app. I use it for our shared calendar. Amd weather updates as well as for monitoring my 3d printer and cctv cameras. I host everything locally. Nothing is in the cloud except for the API i need to monitor the EVs and the weather server. I keep finding new things to use it for. I dont do much automation with it. But i find it very useful overall.
