- This video took months to create and I'm so excited to finally show it to you. I spent 3 months playing blink devour warlock or attunement of hunger in pvp and pve. I learned a lot, learned I had a lot more to learn, and over all had so much fun. This video is, in a way, a culmination of years of playing Destiny and it tells the story of why I play Destiny. I open up at the end about my relationship with the game. Thank you for watching.

I play Destiny 2 PvP and PvE. Then I make Destiny 2 gameplay videos to make you laugh or say "cool." This is a TH-cam description.

Why I spent 3 months on blink devourlock and why I play Destiny 2 - เกม
Goes way beyond being destiny content - this is some incredible discussion of how life intersects with gaming and how our coping mechanisms can define how we spend our time if we let us. Absolutely incredible vid my dude
Thank you so much my friend 💗
I agree!
I was basically sitting here trying to find a way to say what you just did but I couldn’t lol. My vocab sucks.
i mean why be a pro player when you can connect a controller and have aimbot..i mean aimassist so hard u shoot the anywhere randomly while jumping with a hunter and magically all of the bullets end up in the enemies head and insta-kills them , why tf we need skill in crucible?
@@davidcorodeanu4535 haha what
I watched this video kind of expecting more of a "This is a cool neat thing" and got met with "Remember to have fun, enjoy yourself because that's what's important" and a part of me I think needed to hear that. It's been an absolutely grueling few years and jumping back into Destiny after a friend convinced me to give it another shot I found myself falling in love with dumb things like spamming forever solar grenades with sunbracers. I appreciate this video in its entirety and I genuinely hope one day I find a blinking warlock who hits me with a devour while standing in a solar grenade.
that's awesome haha Im so glad to hear it! I hope you find a devouring warlock in the midst of your solar nade too lol
thanks so much for the wonderful comment and i'm honored you got something out of the video
This is such a good mentality. Respect.
Also, forsake devour and switch to nova warp. That super with blink is so fun. You have 2 types of teleportation to play around with.
Thank you so much 🙏 and true, I gotta try that out asap
@@Gjerda this was how I ran Astrocyte back when I used it, it’s a lot of fun and the mid-Super movement tech is still intact like Eggegdh said above.
You do the Astrocyte blink, then hit shift twice for forward momentum, and by then you can Astro blink again, rinse and repeat till you’ve crossed the map. (So: jump->shift->shift->jump rinse repeat)
It’s genuinely that fast and far, very hard to deal with. Its only downside is vulnerability while charging your explosion on your descent to the ground, but the upcoming little buffs to Nova Warp should be of help. Enjoy the third form of Super flight in D2, up there with top Dawn movement and Thundercrash!
Oh damn that sounds super fun, I didn’t even realize. I’m definitely trying this out!
@@Gjerda I use this movement a lot in my super actually! I can show you the ways... hehehe
@@Gjerda especially since they buffed the crap out of that subclass, reducing charge time (i think they did that a while ago actually), removing movement penalty, and having it detonate on cast is pretty crazy, just blink in and pop your super.
I hope this reaches the inter workings of bungie. So good. So insightful. They get feed the "nerf stasis or im quitting" and "dont nerf TTD or slide" rhetoric by the vocal minority. This feels more genuine and authentic to how probably a good sized portion of the active, dedicated Destiny player base. It definitely resonated with me.
Thank you so much. And yes I agree with you. I hope the people quietly enjoying the game speak up now and again :) there’s a lot of us out there. There are of course important improvements to be made but by and large destiny is a fun time.
I get the impression that most destiny players do not actually value gameplay for the sake of gameplay like this.
it should be pretty obvious that Bungie intentionally make the new stuff overpowered to try to encourage pay to win. They do it repeatedly. I enjoy the gameplay, but I don't enjoy the slimy tactics and the lack of interesting content
blink uses vector mapping, basically it maps out your entire jump in a parabola upon press, if your vector hits an object it will terminate at the point of clipping, so that's why you can leap to the top of a cliff (the parabola wraps over the edge) but can't blink through an object.
This is a perfect visualization!
This one was an all-nighter plus some 😵💫 thanks for watching ❤️🔥 there’s a twist at the end
Glad you did man! Never got emotional over a video game video before, but I connected so much as someone who exclusively has used blink for 7 years for the sole purpose of having fun! That’s what games are made for right??
Thanks for making it 😄😃
Like you said, it makes you a better player. Love it, mad props, I'll like and subscribe a real d2 player
Quality editing combined with thought provoking dialogue and questions. Top quality TH-cam gem here
@@joshcannon6704 right there with you, outside of the stint when I switched over to sunsinger warlock from arc blade hunter back in house of wolves then when stormcaller came out in ttk I’ve been a blinkyboi
I got medically discharged from my last job due to my health. Unfortunately, my condition is not only chronic, but deteriorating. I use gaming a way of coping with the intense unending pain, and depression that comes from not being able to work or be the "provider" for my family. It took some time, but eventually i also learned to play just to have fun, and ignore the winning/losing. If i'm not having fun, i either get better, change my loadout, or go to another game. I thought this was going to be a super intense video about how to do a blink build perfectly and slay out with it, but found myself drawn into it and suddenly hit with the feels and reality. Very well done, and i think i'm going to beat my head against the blink devourlock for while now. :D
Wow Skylar thank you so much, I’m honored I could bring you an enjoyable half hour :) and I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling that good side to it as a positive thing that’s meant to be fun. Have a great day, and enjoy banging your head into blink hahaha
i feel you i have the same issues now since 3 years..using gaming just to feel much better and i met alot good online friends we playing since everyday i will never quit gaming even i can hopefully recover soon and have a "normal" life again gaming keeps you fresh and active social and mental if you play the right games ;) just have fun enjoy i dont care the normal ppl out there doing alot different stuff with their freetime i always played videogames every feee Minute since i was around 8 with super nintendo (now im getting 30 next month) sorry for the long story just felt like i needed to share that never comment much on socialmedia haha and btw. thx for that video its deep awesome and selfreflecting (without acting like most ppl do) keep up the work i use the blink exo helmet with stasis :p
Thanks for the comment :) wishing you well dude!
Don't forget the point of the video, don't bang your head against the setup if you aren't enjoying it! I never enjoyed d2 blink sadly despite loving it in D1, but I've found that I love top tree void with burst glide (which I used to hate the lack of control with) and Contraverse. The aggression of zooming around the map and the satisfaction of landing a perfect Grenade throw and watching the energy tick right back up to full and the enemies melt is what clicked for me, but it took some time. Time getting the arcs right. Time getting the movement right. And it's fun. I've used that build much like he used blink devour, all season long, in everything.
High Skill Ceiling != High Difficulty. Skill ceiling is about maximum skill expression. Skill FLOOR is the term you’re looking for. Blink Devourlock has a high skill FLOOR because it’s difficult to use, and a high skill ceiling because it’s very skill expressive. TTD has a LOW skill floor but a HIGH ceiling, because it’s easy to use but possible to maximize in ways less skilled players won’t.
found the coder
Hey man sorry to hear about you aunt, I hope you’re coping well in these dark times. You’re a really genuine guy I’m looking forward to more content!
Thank you :) ❤️
As someone who has stubbornly been using only blink since vanilla D1, the true test of a blink user's skill is snaking through busted out windows in the Cosmodrome. And as someone who lives to frag in pvp, I def understand wanting to play for fun rather than to win.
After watching this video just realizing that I’ve been obsessing over going flawless and how that kind of affected the way I look at the game. This video was an amazing eye opener!
That’s awesome! Glad you got something out of it :) obviously totally cool to want a flawless a lot and get it, but maybe having it as the primary driver doesn’t feel good, who knows-totally up to you!
Thank you for the exceptional video. I came for the D2 content and stayed for the message. I lost my dad in May of last year. With that, as well as everything else going on in my life and the world, I think I was pushed past my ability to actually cope with it all. Burying myself in Destiny was a subconscious way of giving myself space from grief, anxiety, and depression. I’ve spent so much time on the game over the last year, much of it building my Scrooge McDuck vault, although I tend to think of it as my Lonely Mountain. But, lately, I’ve been making a pivot into more lighthearted and less grinding gameplay. I’ve been asking myself why I’m really doing this and what am I hoping to get out of this game or gaming in general. I think I’m on the way to being where you are. I’m thankful for your words and to be able to learn about your journey. Having felt so many of the same things makes my mountain feel a little less lonely. Cheers.
Wow, I am remarkably touched by this message and you totally made my day. I’m honored I nudged you towards those questions and I think the fact they spoke to you means you’re on an awesome path! And I’m sorry for your loss.
Happy your mountain feels a little less lonely :)
"Blink is weird"
*Laughs in the Dishonored Franchise*
Bro i haven't played that game in SO long
You’ve WoW’d me with your joke
Your production value is absolutely phenomenal, I will now watch every single video going forward. I see myself in some of the points you brought up, and have noticed my mindset shifting also. Last night with the random trials maps, I used a different subclass on each one and that was some of the most fun I've had in so long. This game is so fun, and I choose to find the fun in it rather than sit with my sword out for 20 minutes to make the number bigger or to get a new shiny. Cheers dude
Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate it the kind words, and I am seriously so touched it brought you some joy/clarity on things. I’m right there with you, choosing to find the fun for sure. Cheers
I’ve been an Astrocyte/Nova Warp main on my warlock through every nerf-this video did a good job capturing the same energy i love about Blink. The other thing i love about Blink is the vertical mobility it gives Nova Warp, since you can blink high and charge as you fall.
Thank you so much! I’m really glad the blink mains out there approve :) and yes nova warp blink is so epic, gonna feel even better Tuesday
@@Gjerda maybe you can do an update video for nova warp tree. Would be awesome.
Finally, after a year of videogaming I get the Scrooge McDuck reference I deserve. I'd like to thank the Academy for giving me the opportunity to get this reference in a Gjerda video, each member of clan Enclave, and finally myself. Thank you me...you are truly the best.
Hahahaha yes, you frickin earned it man!! For anyone watching you are looking at Scrooge McDuck himself right here, the very inventor of the term. Congrats 🏆
Dude I love how real your personality is. Also I'm sorry about the loss in your family last year. 2020 was rough is an understatement. It brought about this opportunity for you though. It's great that you chose to get on here and help others wrap their head around a different yet healthy perspective of this get Destiny 2. Thanks for sharing how you have fun playing this game.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind message :) I will keep it up, it’s been wonderful to see this resonate with people and I want to continue
Most wholesome channel on YT. Great video sir.
Thanks buddy :) 💗
omg the transition between certain blinks going to a different clip is insane, well done big man
I needed this video in my life and didn't know it. Thanks Gjerda for taking the time to put this out. Love
this channel is so wholesome, so happy Castle promoted that HC vid
Thank you ❤️ and me too! :)
Great video man, i relate to you a lot with the why we play destiny and ive also started changing my outlook, i used to be a toxic sweatlord and ruined lots of potential friendships on the basis of winning a simple video game, but now i play for the moment and for memories, love the vid and can’t wait to watch and help the channel grow❤️
Thank you so much ❤️ that’s absolutely awesome to hear and thanks for being here!
I really needed the second part of this video. Thank you.
Sure thing 🙏
This video changed the way I play and think about the game. This was a really cool video. Thank you
Just like Felwinter he's the only warlock lore wise to be able to shoulder charge. I think he was taught ( not sure who though) it in a sense but still learned it
Lmao
He learned it from being killed by shaxx over and over
after joining and quickly becoming a mod in gjerda's server, i can absolutely confirm that the nontoxic mentality here is genuine. few people have ever given me this platform to actually speak on how a lot of current Gamer lingo is awful without obviously being so, let alone as a disabled, trans, moderator of a server. he's been a joy to hang out and work with, as is the rest of the mod team. i've honestly never been happier to join and be apart of a community discord. this is the most a mod team and server owner has put their money where their mouth is on and disabled rights. if you don't want to take a disabled trans person's word on how nontoxic this is, i don't know how to convince you otherwise.
Thank you so much for being here (and for dealing with TH-cam automatically deleting this message 6 times 🙃) This made my day, and we are lucky to have you on the server 💛
My fear is joining a server that's toxicly positive
Where everyone is hush hush on stuff because they tryna protect ppl feelings
We definitely aren’t like that, if something is wrong we talk about it!
@@simplysage3562 honestly that's not been my experience! i've only gotten and given clear communication where i can :>
that said the huge thing i gotta say is i'm Very white, and know little to nothing about others in the server, but from what i can tell there's been no animosity or otherwise like, things that cross into that blindspot
the end wrap up was what sold me. i look forward to seeing your content.
Thank you very much ❤️ excited to make more
I've been looking for a video about Blink for a while!! Thank u for showing this
Thanks for watching :)
Being original and real will carry your happiness for life!! Good job buddy excellent video as usual
Thank you, I totally agree! Probably wasn’t optimal to post this right when the algorithm is living me and it wants something more appealing to a broad audience, but hey, I just had to get this one out there already. Made me happy, so it was the right call.
The blink edits with this man going form map to map is satisfying
This is great video !!! Thank you for sharing all of ur personal struggles trust me there’s a lot of people out there that can relate and I love the positivity that this video brings GG is my man
Powerful. I've been feeling a lot of these things but I'm glad you could put it into words. And video.
thanks very much! really honored it resonated with you
he kept it during raids…
the blink stays on…
@@Gjerda its meta in the gauntlet in levi ;)
@@Minifliek gauntlet in Leviathan was easy but the version in Menagerie used to throw me off for some reason even though it didn’t really matter if you died in there!
ive played without a hud for the past two weeks, and i’m still at a 60% win rate in crucible this season. i just really like the thrill and uncertainty
Oh wow that’s awesome, that honestly sounds really fun
Easily one of my fave Destiny vids to date! Soo insightful and introspective
Thanks!
This video has really changed my perspective on how to view video games. Thank you so much
thank YOU so much for watching I am delighted to hear that! that's awesome! have a lovely day :)
Holy moly those blink screen transitions are clean.
I saw an interesting video to watch and now I am thinking about why I play video games. Great video n glad you are having fun
Well worth the watch to the end. Thanks Gjerda for the share. You have reinvigorated my excitement for the subclass and given me a reminder of why I fell in love with D2 in the first place 😊🤍
Wow that’s awesome! ❤️ thank you
Great perspective my man- very refreshing! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks! Happy to :) glad you liked it
I watched this initially to learn a bit about a subclass I enjoy but don't often use, but this video really hit me in a way I didn't know I needed. Thank you so much.
❤️
I loved the way that you transition between plays! The blink to different maps is super smooth and it reminds me the way TDT does it. Very good video
Thanks!
Awesome information and testing. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching :)
No words just beautiful keep the videos coming
Thank you, I will
Ur videos always make me feel better and help my mindset ❤
Really enjoyed listening to your well constructed thoughts and ideas. Thank you.

Thank you so much! 🙏
I loved the mental health implications of your experience and learning. Very powerful and much needed my man. Subscribed.

Thanks for not only making a good blink video, but making a video to remind people to just have fun. Needed that.

I relate so much to this. Great video man, the destiny community needs more discussions like this
thank you so much! well I hope to bring more of them to the table :)
Still my favorite vid after a year. Cheers Gjerda starting making content cuz of u
Came here looking for tips on using blink. found an entirely new outlook on this game in general.
Big respect for being as open as you are in this vid ; such an important issue you delved into.
thank you so much, appreciate it dude 🙏
I came here for a devour lock build, stayed for the good fun advice. I haven't used blink yet in my travels, but now I look forward to playing with it in the future. Keep having fun out there!
i’m incredibly glad i’ve managed to find this gem of a channel early. such a crazy high production value for a small creator. awesome video yet again, keep it up :)
Thank you so much :) I will! It’s really fun making these!
You've reawakened my love for the Warlock class and I thank you for it
Yoooo nice, that’s awesome
Thanks for watching :)
Sounds like you’re doing good man. Keep up the good work and keep having fun
Thanks :) I will
i absolutely love the transitions when you use blink and go to a different match! another astoundingly high quality video
thanks! :) oh yeah, had to put those blink cuts in!
I absolutely loved this entire video. I love your story & the journey you've had. I'm glad you are happy where you are in life, gaming & youtube. Your message on mental health is very important so thank you for sharing 🙏💙
Thank you 💗
This is one of those vids you can listen to with comfort, like feels good kind of comfort and I appreciate it.

Nice vid, thx for sharing, it’s always cool to see this kind of content !
Thanks :)
So glad this came across my recommendations, thanks for the high quality content. Subbed!
Thanks!
Wholesome content, really enjoyed listening to this while watching you blink from one scene to another
Thanks :)
Yo those blink transitions into the next clip looks dope af and hella smooth 🤩
Ay thanks!
Couldn't stop watching. Good job dude.
thank you!
Just went through a rollercoaster of emotion with this video but I loved it.
Holy wowwwwww.
It went from blinklock guide to a total perspective of life.
Wasn't expecting that.
Sure was a surprise treat.
Thanks for this
Thank you so much 🙏
just found your channel, and i'm glad I did. Hope you have a good 2022! Cheers!
Thank you! You too
this was some insightful articulate stuff right here man.....earned my sub and i really enjoyed listening.....this was my first vid of yours now i cant wait to go back and watch your older stuff
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel :) the old stuff is maybe a little less polished but all the same thanks for watching
Genuinely one of the best videos I've seen in a while
Thanks:)
What you said about outsourcing your happiness to your performance really resonated with me. I'm glad you found a healthier way of playing and enjoying the game. Amazing video.
Thank you so much :)
Very well-made video, props!
Thank you! :)
This is so inspiring
Thank you for this
As a D1 player since day 1, I truly needed this
Thank you again 🙏
Sure thing 🙏 thanks for watching
The video I didn’t know I needed, thank you
Thank you for watching :)
This video is beyond amazing… I came here for the blink bits but stayed for your introspection. Now I don’t have nearly as much time invested as you, but your point resonates.
I became obsessed with earning the unbroken title, and it was mentally exhausting, I would be thinking about my game performance afterward, while no longer at the console. Letting a pursuit in a video game affect my mood in real life was horrible.
You are 100% right about playing for fun, it’s so easy to forget that. If you’re not having fun, that’s the complete opposite of what a game should be.
The funny thing is, that correlation between having fun and playing better is very true. When you’re just in the flow and your mind is at ease because you’re enjoying what you’re doing, you naturally perform better.
It’s true for gaming, as it’s true for sports, as it’s true for work or relationships or anything else.
I feel as though this video should be mandatory watching for every destiny player.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I feel so emotional now haha. But I love your view on destiny and I think we have all had those times of rage and breaks of this game but this mindset sounds so healthy and I definitely will be taking steps to where you are. Thank you so much for this video and I hope you are able to share this happiness and mindset with as many people as possible because it will help so many people including me!
You’re welcome and thanks so much for the kind words ❤️ I’m glad to hear it resonated with you :) I will definitely continue sharing this concept with people!
Fist actual video I watched from begging to end in a long time on TH-cam, well done 👍🏼.
Ayyy that’s awesome, thanks very much
Awesome video bro I felt really endorsed. Keep up the good work king.
Thank you! 🙏
Awesome video mate! I really needed to hear this
Thanks :) glad you found it
Thank you for this video. I just recently returned to D2 after 2 or more years and was struggling with what and how to play. You rforced the memory and reason of why i once enjoyed this game once. Its up to me to do so again. Thanks for reminding me that!
That’s so awesome! I’m honored I could :) welcome back!
Great video and wonderful tie into the regular life.
So many people don't understand how my D2 community and clan kept it head sane these last few years.
I love and appreciate all of them.
Thanks ❤️ and that’s awesome!
Came for the video on Blink Warlock left with a new appreciation for life lol you definitely have a new sub my guy
thanks :) welcome aboard
those blink transitions are fire
Holysh*t this video just randomly played on the background while I was playing destiny. listening to your gaming philosophy was a therapy I didn't ask for. Thank you!
Thanks!
started watching the video thinking nothing of it just looking for some destiny content but man am i lucky that i found you. absolutely love your content man and can‘t wait for your future stuff!
Thank you so much! :) that’s awesome
What a great video man, i truly admire the relationship you have with the game now. Among a lot of people who have a bad time, you truly cracked the code! Cheers and congratulations for the video.
thank you so much :) appreciate the nice message and have a great day!
Phenomenal video, thanks glhf.
Awesome video, dude! Thank you
Thanks :)
Great video as always Gjerda! Your and TDT’s video on Blink have motivated me to try and learn it!
Thanks! Awesome :) it is great fun
This is by far one of the best destiny videos I’ve seen. Keep it up dude :)
Thank you! :) I will
feel like this was a therapy session for me ty
Great video, I used to be a blink main before the icarus buffs and then only played that forever, recently picked it up again because of the new nerfs to top tree dawn and I'm loving it again, 1 week later and I see your video about it lol.
That’s awesome!! Nice timing :)
Wow gaming as an end in itself that's some first level stuff there dude, enjoy the flow + great talk !!
thank you so much!
This video was infinitely more inspiring and motivating than I ever thought it would be, thank you for this honestly. I know a lot of people need to hear stuff like this these days. I’ll be thinking about this anytime I step foot into PVP! It isn’t my favorite mode, but it can be fun if I make it! 🤘
Thank you so much :) that’s awesome. Yeah, it totally can be!
Just wanted to say thank you by far shined a light on my own shadows and depression truly appreciate your help with the way you view the world
Well I’m honored it spoke to you and helped you out, thank you so much for watching! Have a great day 🙏
Those transitions from one blink jump to another were sick!
Thanks!
This was am absolute joy to watch. Your mentality makes total sense and I wish more people realized that, I wish you good luck with all you future endeavors and most Importantly, have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much! That’s so kind. You too :)
