Discussion Did anybody cry? Am I stupid?
I was telling my girlfriend about how I spent 12 years playing Destiny, and I'm really bummed that the active development ended. It's almost like a symbol of growing up. I started playing as a kid, and I'm now about to graduate from college. I also realized that the Destiny franchise was an escape from bad things at home. Mom and Dad fighting? I'll put on my headphones and go help the Vanguard or play Crucible. I started tearing up when I put into words how much of an escape from reality the game was when I needed it to be. I don't cry much, but I'm still sad about it in a nostalgic kind of way that will probably stick around for a while. Anyone else get a bit misty-eyed?
Edit: Not to mention the friends who I met through the game who grew up and moved on, even one who passed away... Life moves pretty quickly; I wish I could slow it all down. The things I'd do to play it all again for the first time with my buddies.
