Hey man I also can relate even though I was a little older than you at 32 I found myself all alone after my ex left with the kids. I remember sitting in my almost empty house for days on end wondering what the hell to do.
I eventually decided ad I had no immediate circle if friends and like you no way could I go out alone to meet people I answered an add in the local paper and that's how I came to meet my now wife.
I had a few friends at work but that was just because we all decided to learn to ride at the same time but no one to really socialise with so one year I decided to join an active motorbike forum and forced myself to go and meet everyone I could every meet I went and as it was on the bike I went alone the people I met I now count some as my best mates that I socialise with regularly it was this that finally reduced my level of shyness, it still rears it's head now and again it did when I started gaming with people from here but it gets easier to beat down.
What I'm probably trying to say is sometimes you have to bite the bullet and get outside you comfort zone and figure you have nothing to lose..maybe if you could find a new interest that would get you out to meet others having a common interest helps with conversations.
Anyway good luck.
Totally agree I've watched many videos on this and the only one I watched who was against nerfing ghorn was the guy no one likes to hear, Bungie said they nerfed it because people were being discriminated against for not having it now if it's less powerful it will definitely become more of a requirement.
I'm sick of Bungie wanting us to play like they want not like we want and people moaning "oh it's not a challenge " well no one forces you to play that way use your imagination ffs.
A couple of games we had as a team last night Plumbrodders, Lee ,deadums,stretch and myself all running green weapons.
My voice is on so maybe some swearing,we did try for team chat but it's more involved.
I guess those maps will be added to rotation after ttk drops I think they have a separate play list to stop people not having dlc getting kicked between games
I just realised there was a patch that changed weapon damage reset snipers so there auto zeroed to 100m and I believe to cut head glitch in you now view aim through eyes not top of head might be part of why I struggled a bit yet connection dud suck and shorties are ridiculous and stupid.
Wewe did it with a team of four and five yesterday it started pretty well but went downhill I have some saved I will sort and post and unjust checked my commentary is on it.
I only used ib for oracles on hard vog or for recharging ammo for other weapons only these days.
The thorn nerf hits pve too I believe as damage over time and hand cannon nerf apply in both pve and pvp.
Seems on face book the ghorn nerf has split the community.
Black hammer gets kicked in teeth and a slower charging ice breaker really?
Gjallerhorn nerf and hand cannon nerfs weapon by weapon..
