Why do I play Destiny? I rarely finish a season, I don’t chase seals, my triumphs are accidental, raiding is too challenging for me, I lose a lot in crucible, I get lost in missions. I take breaks. So why? Well, I play because I love the game. That’s it. That’s all. 🧵

My grandson is finally playing Destiny (1) & sending me pics. For all its faults, seeing three generations play a game, well let’s just say there’s some tears. Some things matter more than others, & it’s time for Nana to log in & help a little light.

I started playing Destiny in 2015. Destiny was there for me as a rehab tool from brain surgery & 2 strokes. Through seizures & partial blindness (that I never discuss), I’ve leaned on it during times of mental struggle. Don’t judge people for gaming before you know their story.

Don’t let drama push you away from a game you love. I spend time in the environment appreciating the effort & talent it took to create it. Those small details we sometimes miss that are there because someone takes pride in their work & loves their career. It’s inspiring. 🧵

I go back & look at screenshots I took during Destiny 1. All of us veteran guardians should do this, and remind ourselves how incredible the emotional investment & journey from D1 to D2 has been. So for me , I won’t worry about drama, I’ll just have fun. 🫶🏼✌🏼

I talk about respect for the individual & this includes respect for the developers of a game we share a passion for. Are you creating content to monetize a hot take in self interest or are you genuinely invested in the future success of an activity that brings you satisfaction?

In 2015, I started playing a game called Destiny. I joined a clan called Dames of Destiny. We would chat & talk sometimes until the sun came up. Guardians came & went, clans changed, but the friendships I’ve made through this game impact my life forever. Happy Bungie Day. 🫶🏼💚

Todays meditation is so needed. People are going to gaslight, they will engage you with negative behavior and before you know it you are baited and hooked. The secret is to not bite that hook. Press pause on the feelings to react. Protecting your peace denies them their power. 💚

So the grandparent duo Spire dungeon isn’t happening. I had a seizure. We tried & almost finished Akelous. But harpy beams & bright eye mechanic are too much for me. We are giving it up; not worth the risk. It is a beautiful dungeon & I’ll miss the cowboy hat. 😔 I’m ok. 🫶🏼

How trustworthy are you when someone tells you something in confidence? Do you respect the pact of secrecy? Disclosing information only gives short term satisfaction. Long term; you’ll be known as a deceitful busybody instead of a loyal friend. Are you sure it’s worth the risk?

It’s difficult when family don’t approve of your lifestyle choices. The holidays make your interactions with them more stressful & you find yourself in conflict. Give yourself permission to take steps to protect your mental health. It’s ok to say no to moments that bring pain.

There was a time when I played Destiny for relaxation, fun & lore. I’ve somehow fallen into the locked content/activity fomo. Going to change my focus back from ‘have to’ to ‘want to’ & release some guilt. Needless to say I love Destiny/Bungie & looking forward to Lightfall.

As you get older, you might think “Maybe I’m too old to play video games”. Also, our friends that don’t game may not be supportive & say it’s a waste of time. Gaming promotes mental wellbeing & cognitive abilities as you age; as well as lasting friendships. Gaming is timeless.
