Hi, I'm Dr. Valus Ta'aurc, foremost expert on Destiny Addiction.
Do you find yourself losing friends and loved ones? Planning your life around your raid team? Getting aggravated by tiny changes? Arguing with idiots all the time? Then you might be addicted to Destiny.
Let's face it. Play Destiny for enough time and you get [i]hooked.[/i] It's like heroine, but with better graphics! But there's hope for you yet! I too was once a Destiny addict. But with a little effort, I managed to kick the habit!
How can you kick Destiny?
Step One: Delete the app from your phone or tablet. Never visit the website. Now the forums do not lure you every hour of the day!
Step Two: Don't play Destiny. Simple.
Step Three: Play other games! I suggest old games that haven't aged well, like Pong or Call of Duty Ghosts. That way, you'll get tired of them quickly and won't form a habit.
After following those simple steps, you won't be playing Destiny every waking hour (and some while asleep. Yes, I've had dreams about the game!). You will no longer be addicted to the gunplay, the loot drops, the joy of seeing purple and orange splash on your screen–
Oh crap, I think I'm relapsing!

1. adiós, adieu, addio, adeus Besides adieu in French, there are also adiósin Spanish, addio in Italian, and adeus in Portuguese. Adieu comes from the combination of a + Dieu (‘to God’); adios,addio, and adeus have similar etymologies. 2. aloha This Hawaiian word is used as both a welcome and farewell, but also for expressions of good wishes, love, and affection. Because of how often the term is used Hawaii has taken on the nickname of the Aloha State. 3. arrivederci In Italian, arrivederci means ‘until we see each other again’. You might be tempted by the arrive- to think that the word has something to do with a greeting, but the word actually comes from a (‘until’) +rivederci (‘we see each other again’). 4. ciao Ciao has an intriguing origin: in the 1920s,ciao arose as a dialectal alteration ofschiavo, which translates as ‘(I am your) slave’. Like aloha, ciao does double duty as both a term of greeting and parting. 5. auf Wiedersehen A common send off in Germany is auf Wiedersehen. This farewell directly translates into ‘until we see again’. 6. au revoir Similar to auf Wiedersehen, au revoir directly translates as ‘to the seeing again’, anticipating a meeting in the future. 7. bon voyage Another common French term with widespread usage is bon voyage, ‘good journey’, used to express good wishes to someone who is about to embark on a trip. 8. sayonara Short for sayō naraba, which literally translates as ‘if it be thus’, sayonara is used, according to the OED, to ‘qualify desire to meet again so as not to tempt fate’. Additionally, sayonara is used in English to suggest that something has been finished with, abandoned, or consigned to the past in more general usage, as in ‘you can say sayonara to that those tasty plums’. 9. shalom The Hebrew word can be used as both a welcome and farewell. Shalom is the widespread Hebrew goodbye that translates as ‘peace’, but a more formal parting would be to say shalom aleichem or ‘peace be with you’. 10. totsiens South Africans might send each other off by saying totsiens, which means ‘until we meet again’. This word entered English from Afrikaans in the 1930s, originating from Dutch words tot ‘until’ and zien ‘see’. 11. vale Another interesting valediction is the archaic farewell vale, meaning ‘goodbye’ in Latin. The word comes from the second person singular imperative of valēre, ‘to be well’. 12. zàijiàn A common send-off in China is 再见(zàijiàn). The verb ‘to bid farewell’ is expressed with辞行 (ɡàobié).
