yeah at this point i would only play siege with friends and with everyone else totally muted, kind of defeating the point of playing a squad-based game
but also i probably wouldnāt play it under any circumstance OTHER THAN literally everyone in the game is a friend
it kinda amazes me that people donāt do this? like i havenāt been in a public voice chat for a game since like 2010, it feels like.

Oh I mean, I would turn off chat too if I can. Just, no communication whatsoever. Still defeats the purpose of it.
I even turn off chat in Rocket League sometimes because thereās only so many sarcastic āWhat a save!ā messages I can take. (So many = 1)

But also, I leave on Voice Chat in HL2 deathmatch because most people donāt use it, but when they do itās actually great. The one exception.

oh it does, which is why i donāt bother even trying to get into those kinds of games unless i know i have people to roll with. so i am kinda taken aback when people complain about the free chat community in games like this because i wonāt ever see that if i ever play it.
my experience of playing siege/rocket league/titanfall 2 semi-heavily after playing almost no online games regularly for the decade preceding was that the public voice chat was overall fine compared to what Iād seen of friendsā xbl matches
Okay, for the uninitiated these production values are much higher than I expected out of independent Bungie.
The Eliksni radicalizing after the neocon human military decimated their diaspora society in Sol is a both a rich vein and heartening after five years of Lance Reddick constantly asking me to create power vacuums for the good of humanity. Time to make my neocons in Destiny video (complete with sci-if 9/11!)

I love Lance Reddickās voice, but yes Bungie, lean into him being a Bad Guy.

do I need to buy the new thing to play this with you
(just asking to get a straight answer, Iāll do it, nbd)
Yes, the new destination is open but the story content, raid, etc. are behind the expansion. Expansions are a la carte, as is the season pass. So the base free game and Beyond Light are what youād need to play the current stuff.
You donāt need to do much if anything in the way of leveling or play non-current content to play the latest expansion. Usually they include a level skip item or a generous loot level scale that boosts you up.
I would pick up Forsaken and Shadowkeep on sale when you get a chance - both raids are excellent and Forsakenās story is the best so far.
(elaborating just for completeness and others, yay, ALL ABOARD)
(I donāt really recommend starting now in the twilight before the expansion unless youāre Mr. Three Korok Seeds over here and just want to check out the old story stuff before it gets removed.)

Yeah, I came back during Shadowkeep, and by running the Forsaken and Shadowkeep single player stuff, I was already up to high enough level to do most activities.
Again, just to clarify, thereās stuff you can do alone but there is very little you must do solo (like one or two odd story missions)

Weāre Maxwellās Demons so weāve got a reference to Pynchon, the Sailor Moon manga, information science, and thermodynamics all in one. (This covers most of our membership.)

Amnesia: Rebirth is out today and Iām counting the hours until Iām off work and I can check it out. The original Amnesia was the Frictional Games release I cared least about, but all their stuff has been dynamite in my book, and Iām excited to see what they do with a desert setting.

I am waiting for the sun to go down as well. Very excited for this game.
I finished a replay of The Dark Descent last night on the new hard difficulty that requires 4x tinderboxes to save and I had a good time. Even though so much of that game relies on tricking the player into making themselves scared, I still want to judge the game for the strong emotions it does manage to inspire no matter how temporary or fragile they are. I think itās still a scary game if you can believe in it. And itās a fun puzzle game in a cool setting so, not much to dislike imo even though there is plenty that you could criticize.
