Are you brainwashed? (Destiny)

As far as hype or liking things or being permissive or overly optimistic, I'm not brainwashed. In gaming, like in everything, I believe it's very important to have low expectations. It sounds grim, but it's how life is, and it might sound like playing semantics, but low expectations don't mean low hopes. I have high hopes for a ton of things, but I try to keep low expectations. Destiny is a great example of both, actually-- it measured up to over half of my hopes but far from all of them, while it measured up to or exceeded almost all of my expectations (I still can't figure out what possessed them to build this UX monster they've made).
