Send us Fan Mail Destiny finally feels relaxed and fun again. The problem is, that might be because its future is already gone. In Episode 157 of This Week at Shrouded, AGreener and Mr. Wrecked break down the strange new era of Destiny 2. Players are praising the latest content, revisiting everything they never had time to finish, and treating Destiny like a comfort game. At the same time, player numbers are falling faster than expected and the community is beginning to accept what comes ne...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny 2 is more active than it has been in a long time, but Bungie's major updates are effectively over.

It is a bleak episode, but there is s...

We get into the community challenge, the SGC activity around the update, the weird...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny’s final update is here, and this episode is a mix of appreciation, criticism, and a very real sense of ending.

There’s also Pantheon, the gauntlet, Trials, the collection changes, the new exotic mission, the updated director and portal, and the bigger question of what co...

Send us Fan Mail This week is basically a giant Destiny update dump, and it is a lot.

We also get into the Marathon talk, some Sony and Bungie speculation, the new reward structure, and the community side of things. Plus, this episode has plenty of actual podcast chaos, because of course...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny 2 just got news on its final content update, and this episode is basically the community processing that in real time.

Send us Fan Mail Destiny was light this week, so the episode naturally branched out into the bigger gaming conversation. We talked about the Commander’s Orders community challenge getting bumped up to 50 million with a new emblem reward, then spent a lot of time on Warframe, Diablo 4, Arc Raiders, Final Fantasy XIV, and Subnautica. Warframe honestly ended up being the biggest story of the episode, with a lot of June update details, cosmetic reveals, quality of life changes, and why the game ...
