Alright, alright, let me tell ya ’bout this Destiny 2 thing. My grandkids, they keep yappin’ about it, so I figured, why not? I ain’t no gamer, mind you, but I can sure tell a story.

So, this Destiny 2 leaks thing, it’s like a big ol’ pot spillin’ over. Folks gettin’ all worked up ’bout what’s comin’ next. They call it “The Final Shape” this time. Sounds mighty important, like the end of somethin’, ya know? My grandkid, bless his heart, he was near ’bout cryin’ when he saw it all spilled out on the internet. Said it ruined the surprise. Well, back in my day, surprises were when your rooster laid a double-yolk egg, not some game thingamajig.

Anyways, this “Final Shape”, they say it’s a big expansion. Bigger than a cow, I reckon. Folks were expectin’ it next Tuesday, but then, boom! Everything’s out in the open. Like lettin’ the chickens out the coop before sunrise. Just ain’t right.

• They talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called “Strand“. Sounds like somethin’ you use to tie up a hay bale, but no, it’s a new power, a “Darkness subclass” they call it. My grandkid tries explainin’ it, but it’s all gibberish to me. Somethin’ ’bout shootin’ green stuff and swingin’ around like a monkey on a vine.
• And then there’s this “DCV“. Sounds like a government thing, but it ain’t. It’s where they put all the old stuff from the game, the places and things they don’t use no more. Like puttin’ away your winter clothes in the attic. But they say, sometimes they bring it back out, like that old quilt your grandma made. You know, the one that smells like mothballs but keeps you warm.
• Oh, and this “synthweave” stuff. Now that sounds like somethin’ I know. Like weavin’ a basket, right? But no, it’s for makin’ your armor look fancy. You collect somethin’ called “synthcord”, then you turn it into “synthweave”, and then you make your space suit look pretty. Kids these days, always fussin’ over how they look, even in a video game.

This whole leakin’ thing, it’s like listenin’ in on your neighbor’s phone call. Just ain’t polite. But folks, they just can’t help themselves. They gotta know everything, right now. No patience, like waitin’ for a good stew to simmer. They want it all fast, like instant grits.

My grandkid, he’s on these “social media” things all the time, readin’ about the leaks. He says there’s whole groups of people just talkin’ ’bout this stuff, sharin’ secrets and whatnot. Sounds like a bunch of gossips at a quilting bee, if you ask me. But he says it’s important, ’cause it helps folks plan their game playin’ or somethin’. I just nod and smile, like I understand.

And then there’s this Bungie, the folks who make the game. They must be fit to be tied, all their secrets out in the open. Like havin’ your prize-winning pie recipe printed in the newspaper for everyone to see. But I guess that’s the way it is now, in this here internet age. Nothin’ stays secret for long.

So, that’s the gist of it, this Destiny 2 leaks thing. A whole lotta fuss over a game, if you ask me. But I guess it means somethin’ to folks, gives ’em somethin’ to talk about, somethin’ to look forward to. And hey, maybe that ain’t such a bad thing after all. Even an old woman like me can understand that.

And from what I hear, they even changed their minds ’bout puttin’ the old stuff away. Said they won’t be doin’ that no more with these Destiny 2 expansions. Guess they learned their lesson, like when you put too much salt in the soup and have to throw the whole batch out. Better to just leave well enough alone, I always say.

Anyway, I gotta go now, got chores to do. But you young’uns, you keep on playin’ your games, and try not to spoil all the fun for everyone else, ya hear? And remember, a little patience goes a long way, just like a good slow-cooked roast.
