Destiny

For the last 3 years, Destiny 2 has been my thing. I love the gunplay, I love the world design and I absolutely adore the lore (Thanks Byf!).

I have spent a lot of time in this game. Recently, my brother got me an old Xbox One to also play the first Destiny, and it is awesome as well. I actually think some of the design aspects are even better than Destiny 2, but I still suck at console shooters, so there’s some frustration while playing that game.

Having finally convinced enough friends to give it a try, I am now also slowly getting most of the raids in the game done.

Update 2024

With Bungie shitting the bed repeatedly, either by being asshole employers or taking baffling decisions in regards to their games, I have severly soured on Destiny. My friends and myself did manage to do all raids and dungeons up until the release of Crota’s End in Destiny 2 (although we never beat Crota). I finished the campaign of The Final Shape (which was pretty good), and have since then played for a little bit. I hope they find their way, I will always love the Destiny universe, but can’t really consider myself a fan of the game or Bungie anymore.

Warframe

Digital Extremes tells me I created my Warframe account more than 10 years ago. I don’t remember doing this.

I remember playing it a bit when it came out on the Switch. Then, with the release of Cross Save in 2023, I took that as an incentive to try it again. Thanks to having made a friend that was very much into the game, this time it stuck. After Destiny kept disappointing me, the story, gameplay and freedom, on what to do in the game, was exactly what I wanted.

Also, Keith Power is an absolute genius! The music in Warframe is excellent, and way underdiscussed outside of the community.

Twitch

I do have a Twitch channel where I stream once in a blue moon. I’d like to get into it more often, but it is very time consuming. Time that I honestly don’t really have.

Heroes Of The Storm

I like Heroes Of The Storm. Like, a lot. It’s the first game where I really got into the esports scene and wanted to improve my gameplay to a more advanced level. Watching streams and tutorials, practicing mechanics, learning strategy, all that jazz.

The logical conclusion of course was to start a amateur team to play with. And so my team 5 For Silver in Heroes Lounge came to fruition. It is by far one of the most fun and intense gaming experience I’ve ever had. While I did all the captain work from Season 2 until Season 7, for Season 8 I decided to pass my duties of to someone else in our team, as I was getting tired of them.

Of course, with Blizzards ridiculous mismanagement of the game and especially its esports scene, my enthusiasm was pretty much killed over night. Sad times.
