A friendly reminder that real life matters..
For the "destiny elitists" and the guys who just can't seem to do anything other than play destiny- remember that real life always comes first. Today I was playing and overheard a young dad send his son off crying because he was in the way of the TV when it sounded to me like his son (maybe three or four years old) just wanted to spend time with his dad. Not cool. Before you make a full time job out of destiny, make sure you have everything you need first, and if there are people that depend on you for something other than raiding or trials, be sure to give them the time of day. If you're the guy who overlooks your family for a quick raid- you're doing it wrong- and I will never care what your KD is.
Edit1: I find it interesting the number of replies telling me to mind my own business. Well that's exactly what I did. Instead of giving the guy a hard time I simply thought I would post here as a reminder that this game will never matter as much as your actual life.
Edit2: I'd like to add that this is one example of MANY. I'm a year one player. I could probably tell you 100 different instances over the years of flat out neglect. I personally know someone divorced because of this game. Please understand that this is not out of "assumption."

2 RepliesLol so much dick measuring... So how about those new mission statements coming from NASA, could be some interesting finds. Large Hadron Collider should have some new findings this year too, exciting year for science!

Kids need to be yelled at sometimes to get the point, I'm not sure what the dude has said it's no excuse to send him off crying but sounds it's not the first time the boy got in the way, I'm not justifying this act, but we don't know what goes on in his household, for all we know he's been with the boy all day, finally got sometime to game and the kid all in the way, you can't sugar coat shit with kids, tell them straight, because they will tell you straight. Believe me this.

4 RepliesNot that I disagree with your message, but the way you are stating that message makes you sound more elitist than those who you are directing your speech towards. You obviously don't have children, otherwise you wouldn't be making such a baseless accusation about how that man treats his children based on one overheard conversation. Might I suggest you "mind your own business" before trying to play the White Knight role?

Edited by Uzzy15: 1/4/2017 2:21:48 PMYup - I've seen a bunch of instances in the last 4 days. I took a 3 month break from Destiny and got back last week and already I've seen all manner of stuff. A squeaker was bragging that he got himself kicked out of secondary school (dunno what you call it in the US of A) because of Destiny and he didn't study and I honestly just kept quiet and got on with the raid. Then... he who plays 24 hours a day and doesn't know what day it is... ragequit like a little biaaaaaaaaaa I've also seen the rage dad this week in a randoms nightfall I posted for in recruitment. I promote this message to you all. Its genuinely okay if everyone ragequits in the raid, or you will never do trials or whatever your bane/nemesis is. This message wouldn't be needed if Destiny wasn't such a disease. This is the first game that seems to be going on forever and has infinite DLC possibilities. Normal games obviously end at some point. Anyway good day to you all.

1 ReplyI totally understand the post but you also don't know the situation at all. For me, I will tell my kids to get out of the way of the TV because they know better. There are multiple ways to walk by without walking in front. I also make sure each and every night to eat dinner, ask about their days, spend time and more before playing destiny or any other game for that matter. PS - ignore all the inbred's who post dumb stuff. There are on every forum and 99% say stuff behind a keyboard only so they can read it back to themselves and laugh. It makes or breaks their day to see the responses they get.

I applaud you for saying this. I've listened to the same from time to time, mostly when this game first got rolling. As a father of 2, I chose never to play with those people who put this (or any) game above their family.

I'm a Y1 player and I used to play Destiny a lot but since December my play time has gone down. Thanks to no new content I'm free of it's addiction and I know what you mean when you say real life matters.....During my heavy playing days I used to neglect everyone at my house to prioritize playing Destiny. Now I play this game less frequently and I am happy and my family is happy with that as well.... ;)

4 RepliesEdited by Erijian: 1/3/2017 9:58:28 PMHow other people raise their children should be of no importance to you, or anyone else, unless they're outright abusing them or neglecting them 24/7. Sure, offer advice if you want, but this thread is overall pointless regardless of how positive of a vibe you're giving out. [spoiler]What if that dad just got done playing with their kid for a few hours after their long day of work, and all he wanted to do was relax with some gaming? Yeah, I'd get a bit frustated myself. Everyone deserves some alone time every now and then.[/spoiler]

4 RepliesIdk why there's so many rude comments on a post like this. What is a post going to do to that dad anyway? Jesus. It's no good having shit parents. Even if op is being a little "nosey", it's better than leaving this problem untouched.

I look great and I quit smoking, and that's a huge accomplishment considering I smoked for 15 years! Half the time lately I can't even sit down and game anymore.. I get bored too easily. I just wanna go to the gym. Edit: Been at it for a year now. I love these gains!

As a father, I can tell you, sometimes you need the break. That is why I am thankful for my wife. When she sees me hitting the wall (not literally), she will give me the time I need so that I can come back & be a good father. I try to do the same for her. Though if my kids want to sit in my lap & snuggle with me, I tell them that while I finish the activity I am in, go find a movie & we will watch it together. It is sometimes amazing how much it can refresh you when the kids are silent & just sitting there while you hold them.

2 RepliesEdited by Daknee99: 1/4/2017 8:58:53 AMYou think the sweaties care about "real life" ? They are losers, and no lifes outside this game. They don't want to be reminded of how shitty their lives are and would rather keep playing a game with the thought that they're actually accomplishing something rather than actually try to accomplish something in their real lives.

Edited by Oppress0r: 1/4/2017 9:06:38 AMI couldn't agree more. I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old and I don't ever go on destiny unless they're in bed. Family always comes first in my eyes. Your parents should have used contraception if you're stupid enough to put a game before your kids.
