The Edge of Fate marks a landmark shift for Destiny 2. It’s both the launch of a new saga—an attempt to hook players into a bold new direction for the game’s story—and a massive change to Destiny’s most fundamental progression systems. Seasons are gone. Loot has been overhauled. The very structure of the activities you…
You know those clunky old dialogue boxes that get exposed if you click a few too many layers deep into the Windows 11 UI? The ones that make you think, sheesh this thing is ancient underneath?

I loved the idea of Dungeons and Dragons when I was young, but can’t claim the same about playing it.
