In today’s episode, I sit down with — the creator who helps define the Destiny 2 META, shapes the speedrunning scene, and sets the standard for damage testing across the entire community.
We talk about the art of going fast, the science of knowing when to slow down, and the full story behind how Aegis became the person even other experts trust. From Wolfpack chunking to spreadsheets, speedrunning clans to burnout, and the Edge of Fate data crisis — this is a rare, unfiltered look behind the curtain into how the most trusted numbers in Destiny 2 get made.
If you love damage testing, speedrunning, raid science, or just want to hear how one creator found his voice in the Destiny community, this is a MUST-watch episode.
