@hestilllives19: The low number of exotics is frustrating. It's like half of Bungie is landscape artists, and then they have one guys coming up with exotics. Titan has 2 exotic helms, one of which is a D1 rerun. It's completely baffling to me. The game sold itself from the first jump on guns and loot, but there really just isn't that much. Plus, the drop rates are quite high, such that even though I'm playing less of this than D1 I have a much. much higher percentage of not just the available exotics, but gear across the entire spectrum.

@hestilllives19: Ahhh, I see. We came to the conclusion to just leave them alone after our first 2-3 tries. Guess we were just still pretty flexible in our thinking in a lucky way.

@brotherbran: We found it to be very efficient to fire in an "X" pattern in the mind's eye, so the right person shoots the left psion and so on. Once we decided on that our deaths to psion mind juggle were dramatically reduced. Line of sight is much easier that way.

@hestilllives19: What do you mean by final encounter trick? We basically figured it out right away (as far as I know) and then had to work through our execution until we weren't sloppy. Curious if we made it harder on ourselves haha.

Same response as before, sure.

LincolnForce.ru dunked on the raid this evening.

Well, I happened to have worked out a few days before the initial podcast, so I hit the 70 today.

I think it would be cool to hear how people fared throughout this. I think there's only ~60 or so chains left in the group, and obviously a significantly smaller chunk that will may it all 70 days. Regardless, it would be nice to hear about other people's experiences.

I also tracked my weight through this since I already was doing so with a wireless scale. Here's a lightly annotated graph I threw together in python+paint. Key is 45-50lbs since the start of the year, and ~25 or so lost during this stretch.

I also got the linear equation of each line section pre and post-danswercise start. My slope actually decreased slightly over the past 70 days, but I've been eating more and lifting less, and the initial weight was always going to be the easiest to lose. I'm actually surprised the change was that small. In the next 10-15lbs I'm going to hit the weights hard again. I definitely lost upper body muscle, and will work towards my ultimate goal, which is to regain a lot of strength and end up somewhere between 190-205.

I've been staring at a 970 in my Amazon cart for a few days now. The card's practically free since it comes with two games, right guys?

I'm waiting for some concrete info on the PC version before I decide.

That game was amazing. Even without a vested interest (Bulls fan), I found myself yelling multiple times in the last few minutes. Definitely a classic.

Streamable of the Giannis charge.

Gif of more angles.

Whoa, that's an interesting little thing. I had no idea something like that existed, neat idea. I wish my work desk wasn't so damn low, otherwise I'd probably get one.

I think the chains group has lost ~50% of the people it started with. I hope y'all that are sticking around are staying strong.
