    From 1:38:25 onward
    - Marty thought siding with Activision was a horrible idea
    - They contemplated getting back with Microsoft but MS demanded that they have ownership of Destiny as a whole (like Halo)
    - It was far worse then Bungie had feared it would be. He said that Bungie went into business with Activision for the sole reason that they would allow Bungie to keep ownership of Destiny as a franchise
    - Despite what Bungie employees say, Activision messed with a lot of what Bungie was trying to do. Marty also brought up the point that the safeguard in place to prevent Activision from messing with Bungie was 7 studio heads (himself included) who would deliberate on ideas
    - Not all the studio heads felt that Bungie should remain completely autonomous and sided with Activision on some of their decisions. Many of those people still work at Bungie
    - The first red flag that Bungie notices was that at a dinner before the contract was signed, Activision higher ups mocked Marty’s statement that you should “respect the goose”
    - If you treat the goose with respect, it’ll make golden eggs.
    - one of their financial advisers made a joke about how regardless of the type of egg, it’ll always taste good
    - This threw Marty off and he says that he wishes they scrapped the idea then and there
    - He dryly jokes that the massive legal battle he and Bungie had was partly due to Activision
    - He jokes that hindsight is 20/20 and that they never should have partnered with Activision
    Pretty eye opening stuff

    stole that from reddit :haloben:

    And that's exactly why  I will say fuck rice. I must be a picky eater or something but I don't find the sense in stuffing yourself with rice to feel full like I've seen people around me do. I had read something about rice and diabetes before.

    well that's only a problem if you're over indulging yourself on white rice. I'm cool with brown rice, so that's a positive. Brown rice and black beans :whew:

    just a 970 Evo Plus 500GB

     

    I was gonna get the 1TB, but this is primarily for just the OS, I figured I didn't need THAT much space.  When Samsung release the 980 Pro, that will be my gaming drive and I'll go 1TB for that.

     

    I have a couple SATA SSDs as well, but I want to get maybe 3-4TB of those so I can get rid of this HDD.  I don't want any HDDs in this PC at all.  They take forever to spin up and move/copy files.  I can't deal with it any more.

    nice

     

    I figure with this 1tb nvme and 500gb samsung 860 I should have more than enough for my gaming needs. I'll keep a 3tb hdd I already own for movies
