My brother and me are gamers. He is unemployed and play World of Tanks all day, I have a job and support the pretense to be a normal function being.

This summer my sister left in our house the cage of my cousin hamster in the living room without telling us about it. Not having a reason to go to the living room (we all have our own room with big TV's to play videogames all day) the poor hamster died. The summer was specially hot this year, so it not only died, after a few days was a completely desiccated and odorless mummie.

I feel bad for the animal (I really do, plus is my cousin ex-hamster), but had a good laugh about it.

I want to render a analogy of this dead hamster and how Bungie manage loot in this game.

Bungie is me and my brother. And this hamster is the players.
The hamster is addicted to water and food. Players play Iron Banner for the rewards. Is supposed to be a high challenge high reward activity.
The hamster died without any water, under high temperatures and with not food whatsoever. Players find it confusing that after 30 games, they only have seen 2 or 3 items drop for anyone in any of the 30 games.

Tei's sister(?) left a hamster in his apartment without telling him or his housemates. After a several days of playing Destiny and sitting in their own filth, they noticed there was an inexplicable dead hamster in their house.

This is also a parable of how Destiny connection programmers interact with the community.

The Meat Dimension is correct about what it is. I tried to make it as clear as I could. It's tough with only 25 pixels to work with and not being a pixel artist or anything. At least someone got it without me saying.

Possibly some projecting going on here.

I remember as a kid hearing the Head and Shoulders joke about Christa Mcauliffe, laughing, and realizing that this was a sign I got sociopathic enjoyment of space shuttles exploding. It was the only possible explanation, really.

Joking about something doesn't always equal laughing about it. It's also a tool to disarm and lessen horror. It's pretty common in the armed forces, for example.
