When I was a kid, I lived in a very bad part of Sacramento. I was about 11 when this happened.

It was me and my 3 brothers at home alone one day. Suddenly, a knock on the door.

"Package for you,"

Somehow I thought to look through the peephole instead of just opening the door.

No package. No uniform. Just a guy in plain clothes, and an unmarked windowless van on the curb.

I replied "you don't have a package!"

Suddenly the guy got angry and beat at the door. I jumped away from the door in fear.

"Open up, kid!"

One of my younger brothers said "let him in!" But I wasn't having it. I had never been more terrified in my life. I yelled, "I'm calling the police!"

I heard nothing on the other side.

After a few moments, I went back to the peephole, and he and the van was gone.

Told my parents what happened, and they found out the next day that a kid in the neighborhood was kidnapped. I never found...

It seems to be similar to how World's First runs for raids only count after returning to orbit - the PGCR clock runs until the activity session ends whereas the timer that displays within the activity ends when the objective is complete.

Ooh, yes - and that is true if I recall correctly if that's the discrepancy being described above. The time that we end up getting in our stats backend is the end of the session. That could definitely be what you're seeing here - and in that case, I can bring up the question of whether we can get the time until the objective is complete. Unfortunately, I can't make any promises that we can get it. :(

I’m very new to photography/editing so would really appreciate any feedback!! Shot on a D5600. I was going for a gloomy look but not sure if it’s too muted.

Edit: also would’ve obviously benefited from using a tripod. Gotta learn to bring that on my expeditions

It looks fantastic! I really like it. I particularly like the symmetry you got from the angle at which you took the picture.

Hey, you're probably aware but I wanted to make sure.

in-game match times (nightfall, raid etc) do not correlate at all with API times found through means such as the Charlemagne bot, DestinyTracker etc. This isn't a huge issue but I'm pointing it out because I've been speedrunning lake of shadows for the quickest NF time possible and my 2:43 in-game time translates to a 3:06 in API time.

Ah, interesting - if you get a chance, can you send me a link to an activity where you know the amount of time you spent in-game vs. what it's showing? I can bring that concrete example to the folks who work on the stats backend and see if they can give it a look!

Maybe the elves are Activision who have decided to set sail and leave the world of man? Bilbo! Stay! We can't live without you! XD

No worries, I'm sticking around! My Lord of the Rings analogies are falling apart, like the fellowship after Merry and Pippin were captured!

... okay I'll stop now. ;)

Oh no, my friend! In this analogy you are Frodo and I'm Bilbo! Take the ring to Mordor and I will go visit the elves.

I think I'm losing the analogy, I don't know who the elves are in this situation

There's a lot of factors involved with hiring someone and one of the biggest ones in gamedev being location. I live on another continent (Australia), have never travelled overseas and I don't have a lot of experience working in large teams. Even if there was a hypothetical place for me there (which I don't think there is right now), it'd be a BIG jump and I truthfully haven't fully unlocked my subclass yet! I still have some levelling up to do!

I've talked about it with Lowlines before! My memory may be hazy, but I think the conversation went something like this, with the One Ring being the Destiny API:

;)

Seriously though, I don't have any hiring power - but if I did I'd hire him.

Edit: sorry I just realized it only moves to inventory. Not vault. But you can still do postmaster > inventory > vault.

Aye - and it's only a two-step because we have to go through the same server-side actions allowed in the game itself, and the game's logic doesn't allow that direct move. So far at least, we've not ventured far into providing people "compound" actions, mostly due to time constraints. But anyone who makes an app could provide that functionality by calling the two endpoints: there's just edge cases that they'd have to handle (for instance, if the user deletes or moves the item after the app moving it from the postmaster but before it moves it to the vault)

BNet can't do that compound action transactionally - at least for now - and as a result, the apps can't either which makes it more complicated for them. If we had more time to work on it, I'd love to see compound actions happen. I can't make any promises on that front, however: we've got a lot of work on our plate! But if you'd like to, you can make a request over here: I'd love to get people's perspective on providing...

I just wanted to point out a bit of history for those who don't know - every app that you use, from DIM to Ishtar Commander to every stats-related app - owes its existence to Lowlines.

It was Lowlines that originally pulled together community-sourced documentation when our little team had neither the resources nor priorities to make public documentation available for the API. He continued close contact with us as Destiny 1 went on, making suggestions for improvements and helping us to see how important it is for us to have official documentation and a better home for people to report bugs and request new features for the API.

As I say in our Github README file: buy him a beer sometime, or name your first kid after him or something. Or donate to him if he accepts donations, which he should because the work he did in D1 was totally boss.

Shamelessly stolen from when bungie.net used to have a rotating set of titles to its front page. We don't have those anymore on bnet because modern web browsers don't really display the titles of pages that well... and most users are on mobile anyway.

That title is still my favorite.

Cool, good to know - thanks for all the info!

The first one I bought off thingverse was too large. The one I linked appears to be 3d printed. There’s a threaded metal insert which protects the threads of the plastic. The charging port is accessible. There’s an opening for the microphone. Not only does it work with standard tripod mount but you can repurpose GoPro accessories if you have them. Things solid.

Ooh, I like that one's multiple-mount-in-one solution!

With the way it's seated, would it fall out if you were to turn it upside down? Or is it held pretty firmly in place?

I've printed quite a few different accessory mounts for the Osmo pocket via Thingiverse and prefer some more than others. However, I haven't printed either of the two you're referring to. Here's a list of the ones I printed that I found to be useful and actually fit well. I can provide pictures of the ones I've printed if you wanna see how they turn out.

Sweet - thank you for the info! I'll give those ones a look!

I think its a symbolic nod to Niobe being an early literary archetype of a grieving mother. Her children were killed by Apollo and Artemis as a result of Niobe's boasting that her children where more beautiful than those of Leto.

Niobe's hubris attracted the wrath of the powerful and vain Greek gods. Kind of like how the blessings of the Traveler allowed very rapid expansion of Human culture, and technology during the golden age that attracted the attention of the darkness and associated races, who rained death and destruction on the children of Earth.

So, I think that the name was used by Bungie as a metaphor and reminder of the rise and fall of humanity during the golden age.

Niobe was turned to stone, and continues to weep over the loss of her children and the sorrows that the gods had sent their way.

I don't think that there is any real connection between the two other than a common poetic theme of loss, powerlessness, and mourning. Ada-1 is kind...

To me, this is something that I cover via a house rule. When you read descriptions of Shugenja prayers, they usually involve the need for specific motions and exact rituals. I end up telling players that, as a result, they can't perform an incantation at all if they're wearing more than light armor.

I've never printed anything from thingiverse before, but I feel compelled to do so with the lack of lanyard or tripod mount on the Osmo pocket itself - and the fact that the official accessory mount covers up the connection port.

I've been looking at these, but I'm hesitant to go hunt down a way to get these printed and try them out without some more info:

No. Don't.

As a kicker, this is literally your only job.
