@AelloTyphoeus: Indeed, there are typically a few loose ends that you can never notice until it's about that time. ^-^ Hopefully the transition goes smoothly enough for them. The dev team has been working like crazy to get everything finalised over these past couple days.

@AelloTyphoeus: Very true there, more daylight means more work gets done.
And indeed we have! Or I believe so, anyway. It should be noon in the Midwest now, though I could be mistaken. Again, the whole DST thing lol c':
Trying to think of a way to lay out my profile, but for some reason I'm drawing blanks. q-q

@AelloTyphoeus: Oh yeah, for sure. Mobiles and smartphones in particular have more or less settled the DST woes, but from what I understand, Daylight Savings is obsolete to begin with and some states are slowly doing away with it.
Aaand we've crossed the threshold of beta, so we shall see how things progress! o:

@AelloTyphoeus: It's funny because I used to live in Chicago. xD I took it for granted that I didn't have to worry about time zones for a lot of things since, even on TV, everything was typically listed on either EST or CST or both. And then we moved here and now I always have to remember that I'm behind everyone else. xD

@AelloTyphoeus: I think Central is 3 hrs behind me (Daylight Savings always throws me for a loop since we don't do it here) so I'll probably be here, and I just realised that means beta opens in... a few minutes? xD Wow, where has my brain been all morning?
@Neko: You're welcome! I always have a nice cup of space tea to get me going in the morning. Despite always waking up super hungry, I can never really eat first thing.
And yeah, I'm near the west coast, so I'm usually a bit behind everyone. c':

I'm super stoked for the September crates. And it'll be interesting to see what happens once the gates are opened. o 3o

@Burial: Well, that's good, I'm glad you're safe. ^-^ And it is sad to think that others have lost so much in comparison, but I suppose it just makes you that much more thankful for coming out the other side unscathed. Watching stuff about it on the news has been nuts, too. But then I saw something about people leaving their animals chained up to die and couldn't handle anymore. D:
Also, why the heck would GS only set aside so few Collector's Editions for pre-order? .__. That's kinda lame, honestly. If someone wants to pay that extra little bit of money, you'd think they'd be all over it since the employees all earn commission.

@AelloTyphoeus: True, with it being the middle of the day, you're probably right that it won't be so much of a flood today but this weekend will probably be crazy! I do know of a small handful at least who are waiting to join today when the site opens.
@Neko: Certainly! *levitates a little dish with cream pitcher and sugar orbs*. They're orbs instead of cubes 'cause we're in space. |D
Not bad, not bad, slept kind of lame but I'm awake now after having some tea. x3 Gonna take the dogs for a quick walk around the yard so they can take their morning poop c': It's only 8:30 AM here and already pretty hot, though. D:

@Thalanil: MY BODY IS READY TO HOP ON THAT D...2. xD
The beta was hella intense, I was standing there with my mouth agape like
"IF THE VANGUARD DIES I'M GONNA FREAK"
Thankfully everything was okay but yeah! Can't wait to see what the Cabal are up to... and I'd like to see a resurgence of The Stranger...

I suck at keeping conversations going, too, though it's often due to a lack of "compatibility" with the other person--if we have nothing to really chat about, then the conversation dies, as I'm horrible at transitioning to new topics. xD Or I'll type something, and in my mind go, "but who cares?" and delete it all... xD
Ironically enough, though, this thread started a bunch of conversations LOL

@Burial: Oh yeah, I love patrols! It was a great way to just grind towards the beginning, too. I always ended up leveling beyond the story missions lol c':
Oh, shoot, hope you've been safe with the hurricane pelting you guys. And it certainly would suck to come so close to the release of D2, only to have it delayed because the truck couldn't get to GameStop. xD
I'll have to call the GS here and see what they'll be doing. I wish I could have ordered the Ghost Edition of the first Destiny, but we were too broke q-q It's funny, Destiny is one of my favourite games and yet I don't have the collector's edition for it. xD

@AelloTyphoeus: Ah, I hate being stuck at work when things are going on. xD Then again I'm such a hermit and love being at home anyway, especially when it's storming, cause then I can just sit there and watch the rain. ^-^
I wonder if we'll get a huge influx of people right around noon? I'm thinking it'll probably be a trickle and then a flood. Hopefully Voltra's servers hold up if there's a sudden big load of traffic c':

@Astral Ninja: I definitely think it's possible to "expand" one's consciousness, but it's also such a hard thing to gauge because, truthfully, we have very little understanding of the nature of reality. (Or, rather, reality is only defined as what we perceive). The Buddhist monks who set themselves on fire during the Tibetan Independence protests are more or less proof of this, as they were able to sit there completely still despite literally burning to death.
I too have had some psychedelic experiences (crazy seeing matter and molecules move, huh? THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE) and agree that some sort of ego-death needs to occur; the person in question must be convinced to relinquish their perceived control over reality.
Meditation is hella difficult, many people find that it takes hundreds if not thousands of hours to achieve that state of internal stillness.
also, I love the fact that we both have "Alien" as our pronouns omg xD
P.S. Your signature art is PERFECT
