ImRyzxn

Joined in on the action on Saturday night, when @Forty6_N_two , @FallenDark200  and @Teenwolf25  were already doing GM farming on Lake of Shadows. Nice to see Nick @Bluebear  taken through with Justin and Forty whilst Clive suffered with me and @ImRyzxn  as we didn't have a Warlock to make it a little easier. Having said that I enjoyed doing it a little harder without the crutch of a well. I think i'm going to look into builds much more post Witch Queen release. Definitely lots of things to try and I think a lot of my inexperience boils down to not knowing which mods work well in certain situations or GMs. I'm sure others can share when they have some good go-to build at some point!
 
Let us know how the rest of you all got on? Excited to start giving out the first Destiny 2 FG Medals now! 😄

Hi all,
 
So. Who is Zaxzar?
 
Well great question. Can start with the what. A year ago I was 36, and went by the name of Lars. Today I am 37 and goes by the name Sarah. 
Confused? Well let me clarify. I am a 37 year old transgender woman. Been out for a little over half a year. I go by she/her. I know this is something that can be instinctive challenging when communicating over voice chats, because I haven't started voice training yet. So I forgive you in advanced if/when you get this wrong. As long it isn't done on purpose, we are just A-OK. ❤️😁👌
 
Okay. to what really matters. Who am I (at least gaming wise), and how did I end up in your community?
 
It started a very long time ago on a Commodore 64. A little later in life I got my older brothers Amiga 500. Here I played a game called "Sid Meyer's Pirates". This is where my gamer tag Zaxzar got born. So I have been using this tag at least 25+ years.
 
I have played PC most of my life, but over the last 5+ or so years, I have moved to PlayStation.
 
Of my all-time favorite games I can mention:
 
Sid Meyer's Colonization
Sid Meyer's Pirates 
Sonic I and II
Curse of Monkey Island (the first 4 at least)
Deux Ex (the original one. Wow what a story)
Zelda
World of Warcraft (the first few expansions. The panda expansion kind of killed it for me)
Diablo 1+2+3 (I moved to PlayStation somewhere after Diablo 3 got released. I started on PC in that game, but moved to PlayStation. Fun fact: I was number 1 in the world in the hardcore ranking on my monk in 2 seasons)
 
After I started to burn out on Diablo 3, PS Plus made the base game of Destiny 2 free when they released Forsaken. And I picked it up. And have been hooked ever since.
 
In Destiny I have been quite enveloped and engaged in the community. I used to run PvE recovs alot (have done around 100 Petra's run recovs for example) But this started to burn me out quite a bit, and stepped back from all of that. The people you play with that does this as a business are very very toxic. If you make a mistake in a speedrun of a raid, with a fireteam if recovs, shit really hits the fan. Because time is money. 
I liked the aspect of challenges of speedrunning, no matter the account I was on. But if the toxicity is there, it just ain't for me.
 
Been in a lot of the highly competitive clans, and also been admin in all of them.
One of the latest clans I was in was Valhalla. First I stepped down as admin, because of an increasing frustration I had with some aspects of the leadership, and the workload.
I then left them after a transphobic attack on me from an admin. I demanded an apology, and wasn't given one, and there was no consequences. For me inaction is the same as greenlighting it, so I chose to move on. This wasn't the only reason I left tho, but it did make it easy for me. The general tone of the forums, had become more and more juvenile over time. And with this, toxic.
I joined an old clan of mine, where alot of my friends where still in after, but left them because they where too PvP focused for my taste.
 
And now I am here. ❤️ 
Why did I join you? Well I joined because I heard of you through teenwolf, after he also left Valhalla. He spoke highly of you, and have had the pleasure of playing with some of you through his friendship over the years too.
I thought that if the rest of you are just half as enjoyable to play with as them, this is gonna be a good home for me.
 
What do I focus on today? I am still mainly focused on raids and PvE content. Not as much as I used to do. Lost a lot of my passion for raiding after they sunset more than half the raids in the game.
 
Will look forward to get to learn more about you all.
 
Now what questions do you have?

I'm super happy (and pretty astounded) to announce that this is the 4th year that the FG Awards has been a thing. I stopped for a very brief moment today and I realised we're super lucky to have something so unique and one of a kind for a family like this. As a reminder for newer FGers, I set up the FG Awards as a way to recognise a few people within the FG family to say thank you for what they have done to help others. I hope that the below is an enjoying read of all our winners, especially with 2 new additional awards for Play of the Game and Top Contributor. Let's not waste any more time to get into 2021's special winners!
 

 
Young FGer of the Year
 
I think its credit to this guy that even @Diddums thought that he was much nearer 30 due to how he handles himself online, having a laugh with everyone else. Already the most experienced Destiny raider out of everyone, it hasn't stopped him wanting to help the most inexperienced people here at FG. If everyone was as helpful, patient and damn right crazy as him at his age, we wouldn't have a problem when the next generation have to step up and make a difference. Thanks for being a part of FG, Lee'esh. Long may it continue.
 
Winner - @Leeesh13 - Lee'esh
 
 
FG Noobie of the Year
 
For quite possibly a shy guy to start with, he has really understood the spirit of FG from our first meeting. Willing to try many games with FG where possible and really contribute across lots of topics all over FG. He even raised money for Alzheimer's Association this year which was great to see him share this with us here. Wanting to learn more and not miss out on the laughs we have on Monday Night Football with the FGFC FIFA team and a regular on FG Friday shenanigans, Ant has made himself more than just one of the crowd here this year.
 
Winner - @Antpool84  - Ant
 
 
Guardian Down Award
 
A close one this year, with many people making the funny epic failures of most FG evenings. Previous winners like @techno and @Diddums had chances as they get shotgunned in the Crucible, alongside @slamminbones sweary outbursts on GT Sport evenings, and @TurboR56Mini epic fails on Nightfalls with the FG Destiny crew. Possibly because his accumulative dying record would probably now challenge any Destiny player in the universe, it's about time Bob was recognised for his great achievements after playing - and dying - so much on Destiny to get all his accolades. I think Bob would spend a whole evening dying over and over if you offered him 5 points off a Triumph. And that's without trying too!
 
Winner - @Baabcat - Bob
 
 
FG Archbishop of Banterbury
 
He thought his depressive side could be so funny? I didn't. But the fact that he has his own word (Tomerisms) for when he says something so bloody random on FIFA, Rocket League or FG Friday nights, he probably deserves to feel on a special pedestal for a one shiny moment. Always trying to find that annoying little joke that you want to hate but laugh at, Tom is frustrating and fun to have around. Now, if this award goes a little way to helping him calm his deep thoughts he likes to share post midnight on a weekend of gaming then i'm all in!
 
Winner - @LordBaguette - Tom
 
 
FG Skills Award
 
Similar to how last year's winner Kenny @IRaMPaGe  has knocked out some amazing plays that he shares on his PPR and in the Videos section, there's another one here that if you don't check PPRs enough then you'd find way more about your fellow FGers!! Its been a tough end to the year for this one, but let's face it to be on the cusp of 500 - yes, FIVE HUNDRED - Platinum Playstation trophies is actually insane. I've kept up with his updates and he's surpassed a few hundred since he has been here and I sometimes think he'll never stop until he gets into the top 100 in the world, which isn't far away. Paul, I'll be watching for your 500th and after a well deserved break, hopefully to see you hit 600 in the future.
 
Winner - @slamminbones  - Paul
 
 
FG Play of the Game
 
A new award to this year and something that I would defnitely love for more entries into the Video section of all your famous and funny moments next year. This one for me sticks out like a sore thumb, and whilst its not the most ultimately the best goal we've ever scored with F.G.F.C on FIFA 21 this past year, it was an incredible goal and finish to an amazing game early on in the promotion charge from Division 10 to Division 1 in clubs. It also epitomised how that has been such a successful game for FG here with at least 17 FGers joining the club and playing hundreds and in some cases, thousands of games together.
 
Final minute, after having just equalised moments before, a throw-in from one side passed through @Stretch616 , @G_dub52 and to @GazzaGarratt who then launches a huge long ball which could only give us the chance to win - and Lurch provides the scenes with the most emphatic header we've seen on a FIFA game. A quick link to the special moment in our video section can be found below!
 
Last Minute Scenes!
 
Winner - @J-Lurch - James
 
 
FG Top Contributor
 
If we don't have people here bringing us the latest info and news, alongside contributing to some great conversations then we just wouldn't simply survive. There's been one person that whilst we don't game much online, it hasn't stopped him from being around, sharing and showing others how easy it is to do for every FGer that comes here rather than all the other rubbish places on the interwebz. Its not just the quantity and we probably should recognise his support a lot more than we should have over recent years - even if his opinions can be unpopular at times! James, we wouldn't have this place without you, mate.
 
Winner - @J4MES OX4D  - James
 
 
FGer of the Year
 
Despite being at FG for only 16 months, she has made a monumental difference to the outcome of FG over the past year. Gathering troops, usually at 3am in the morning for her, organising raids and events. This place went from what we thought was an 'active' Destiny clan to having the most active raids we've ever done in the past 7 years of the game being out. Not only supporting this, but supporting other FG Friday events, setting up servers, creating a buzz about FG on topics, interesting viewpoints and actively encouraging new, less frequent people to show up more often around FG. A heart of gold with massive support from her husband Carl @TurboR56Mini too, we wouldn't have been able to give away such incredible gifts as part of the FGFGF, like the two PS5s a few months ago. She's also there for people on the personal level, and like many of you know how I will always be there for you, it is equally seen through what La has done for others behind closed doors. What's even better, is that we haven't had many women as part of FG and to think that someone like this can have such a positive impact on all aspects of FG, its shows how much we've opened our eyes and should be willing to do more for all FGers. Proud to call her my friend at my hour of need, we all appreciate and salute you for the effort you put here, La.
 
Winner - @RenFengge - La
 
 
FG Hall of Fame
 
It was a delight to see this American pop back into our lives, especially after being pretty ill for a very long time this year - something I appreciate many wouldn't know but lets face it, its why we become best friends here that some of us know this important stuff. Its good to see this lover of all uber-hard games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc back posting and looking forward to his playthrough verdicts and support in 2022 when we all pick up Elden Ring. Thanks for being an FGer for life big man.
 
Winner - @Jason  - Jason
 
 
Aaaand we're done! No one expected 2021 to be as hard as 2020 but we all got through it thankfully. I'm sure some things will continue to be rocky and not always go our way, but i'm pleased to report we're all still here, bringing the heat and good vibes. All of this to make sure we have the best 2022 we could possibly have.
 
Keep being there for each other. You really do not understand the gravity of your presence at FG for others. It surpasses many extraordinary things people can't explain in life.
 
GGFG
 
P.S. I really hope more of you FGers can join the other 36 so far confirmed people all across the world to join us in Wales in November 2022!! >> Biggest FG Meet Up Ever - Nov 2022
 
 

 

Yea.  Title pretty much sums it up but here goes..
 
First off.  I’d like to apologize to damn near everyone a part of the clan for my behaviour over the last 4-6 weeks.  As some, if not all know, I’ve been clean and sober now for almost 15 months.  Great in the short term and I honestly thought I was handling it fine.  I haven’t had a sip of booze in that time nor have I gone to other means such as drugs..  
 
But the past month or so have really put my head in a very shitty place.  I’m not going to get into details but there’s been a lot of personal/work/life stuff that’s bombarded me all in a very short time and I’ve had a hell of a time coping with all of it.  Not too mention that my anxiety is utterly through the roof..  I’ve always had bad bouts when I’ve got health concerns and such but with all this happening in such a short span, it’s really done a number on my nerves.  The old me would’ve grabbed a case of beer and drank my worries away but that me is dead.  The new me is having a hell of a time trying to deal with a lot of this crap and it’s put me in a really anti-social behaviour.  
 
Not only that, but trivial and very minor things that shouldn’t bother me at all have ended up really pissing me off or put my mood into a darker set then I normally am.  
 
I don’t like that.  
 
A lot of you that have known me for quite sometime KNOW how I am.  The Batman, Micheal Caine happy go lucky guitar playing, impressionist that can be the life of an FG Friday and put a smile on someone’s face when they feel down.  
 
I haven’t been that lately and I need to do something about it.  It’s started to effect a lot of the folks in this group that I consider friends and I can’t let that continue.  It’s not fair for me to inadvertently take out the shitty things going on in my life on any of you.  We’re all here to have fun enjoying the hobby we all share.  If anything, I should’ve been more social and up front with my issues rather then trying to push everyone away.  That’s my bad and I truly would like to apologize for being that asshole as of late.  I know it’s not much but right now, it’s all I can offer.  I know I fucked up and I’m working to fix that.  
 
I figured I’d let you all know. 
 
I’m incredibly thankful I have my wife Sarah @Rumelylady in my life whose been by my side when I’ve been shedding tears from being overwhelmed by all this bullshit to helping me find ways to cope with all this mental trash without resorting to my old habits.  I feel I would be in a much darker place if I didn’t have her today.  
 
So, yea… Im working on my mental health.  I want to get back to what normal feels like in my eyes.  I’m finding ways to help cope with it and I felt this would be one way to do that.  The road’s never clear and there’s always gonna be bumps..  I just ended up in a landslide and I’m digging my way out right now.  

GGs FG.  
 
Again, I’m sorry for being that jack ass.  
 

I promised you all for a special update from the FGFGF on my recent update about summer improvements to FG, so here it is! Buckle in tight for this one 😄
 
As most of you will hopefully know by now, La @RenFengge has come into help me a huge amount of late and she found an opportunity within lockdown to do a few extra special gifts as we had a few generous people in FG that could contribute significantly to help make a few people smile.
 
First off, Bob @Baabcat  has been here for many years and we've seen him be amazing of late, trying super hard to help many of the Destiny 2 FGers get involved and put up many raids each and every week. Its crazy to think that after nearly 7 years of Destiny, the past 6-12 months is the most active it has ever been at FG with so many complete FG raids, dungeons and Nightfalls done with each other. A large part of this was down to Bob so we duly obliged when knowing Charlie @Venom  had a PS5 but his Dad didn't. After working out the logistics with Clive @Teenwolf25 , we informed Bob online how great he is and gave him a huge smile from the FGFGF with a new PS5.
 
Secondly, Gary @techno  has been a mainstay in FG for so many years and helping in areas that people really haven't seen before but he's always there to pick you up when you need it most. He always offers advice, even when you didn't realise it. It was about time this guy from 'up Norf' received something extra special, especially whilst he has to be ploughing money into huge alterations in house for his wife that has a degenerative disability. Thanks to a few more significant others, we were able to not give away one PS5, but two! (Logistical mare with how he got it but it was paid for nonetheless 😄).
 
A shipping problem lies with our merch currently, but i've managed to test a few new design hoodies out, finally sorting the last Xmas FGFGF giveaway present to @Dan94  and for all his continued efforts with his artwork and helping me significantly with his amazing Gran Turismo Articles, @Greboth received his own personalised hoodie.
 
Some also might not be aware but our beautiful Scottash @Nutcuttlit  had a horrible scare recently when his daughter was knocked over by a car. Whilst battered and bruised she soldiered on like how her Dad can be, so we thought we would send the best current release on Metacritic, a 2 player co-op game It Takes Two. Hopefully the smiles can keep wash away the bruises over time 😄
 
There was a few FG mugs given out too, @Findmartin  @TonyAE86  @Lurch  @Antpool84  to name just a few.
 
We're working quite hard to get some extra things to other FGers outside of the UK too. Its more of a logistical nightmare (and has been for a few years) but watch this space and we're extremely hopeful of doing further good things to keep people smiling around the world in the not too distant future.
 
Lastly, don't get take the next part lightly.
 
Thank You. ALL OF YOU people have shown you have the ability to keep making so many people smile and happy, especially when it hits some people's lives when they need it most. There's some of FGers out there that won't be named that are at their darkest points, and stuff like this - showing that you care for others at such a hard time for all of us - helps them realise life is worth living.
 
 
Keep giving when you can to make FGers smile. GGFG all ❤️
 

Looking forward to the new badges system. im getting em all 😂 hopefully that is… 😂
