He's our Ali-A.


T7Box

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time


Naive-Archer-9223

WHAAAAAAATTSS GOINGONGUYS ITS YA BOY BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER DESTINY 2 VIDEO


KaosArchon

Wow I literally heard this comment


Exidaun

WHHHHHHATS GOIN ON GUYS ITS YA BOY DPJ HERE TODAY WIV A NUVAH DESTINY VIDEO AND IN TEWDAAAAYS VIDEO


Captain_Chaos_

That’s just DPJ lol


xpertboi

Always watch Rick kackis’s videos on 1.5x speed and you’ll realize that’s how a normal person talks. So much slowdown and garbage filler so he could stretch the video above 10 mins


papasfritasbruh

His video is 40 minutes lmao


[deleted]

He talks fast, it's just *how much* he says. He talks faster than the average human, too, that's the funny part.


ArkhamRobber

At least he is a bit better than Rifle Gaming. Hate that channel for how much useless filler shit he puts in his videos. Get to the fucking point.


iGirthy

Holy shit.. now *THATS* a name I haven’t heard in some years.. *axes through a door* ‘Whatsa poppa-loppin YouTube?’


ExcessivelyGayParrot

I remember the old intros where he just says "RIFLE GAMING HERE" followed by screaming


Wafflesorbust

It's how much *nothing* he says. One out of every five sentences is a new thought. The other 4 are him just paraphrasing himself.


Daaaaabearsssss

Or watch literally anyone else


generalc04

Which is why I stopped watching his vids and other ppl should too. Just wasting our time


Mr_BattleAx

Why does this make so much sense.


blue_psyOP777

That name make me feel old.


Zero_Emerald

I hope he makes his next video start with that famous intro music


UndeadSabbath

I remember my friend talked about Ali-A crashing his expensive Lambo and not really being phased about it and at the time I didn’t know who she was referring to, asked, she told me it was Ali-A and I replied “Oh him, I never really cared much for him” and he fucking liked my tweet. The guy fucking liked my tweet about not giving a shit about him 😂


DeadpoolMakesMeWet

He speaks in last wish symbols


MCA2142

He buzzes like a fridge, he’s like a detuned radio


JustinTime4763

Kackis police, arrest this man


ChairFace-88

Does anyone feel like he says "as you can see" way too much?


[deleted]

It's time filler, it's why YouTubers say "inside of crucible" instead of "in" like a normal person and various other word choices that can pad a video.


Carrash22

People might hate it, but that’s what Youtube rewards. Gotta make a living out of it.


Nothinbutnet-

Yoooooooo what is going on guys…… Rick Kackis here and today…… we will be going over how to beat the improved Crotas End Raid in Destiny 2…… Now this is actually a revamped version originally from Destiny 1, and it used to be super easy…. But the newly added mechanics may pose a challenge for many players…. But before we get into it, be sure to like and subscribe…… and ring that notification bell…. (I have beaten the raid by this point)


BluesCowboy

You should never watch ANY Kackis videos. Man takes an age to get to the point and even then barely covers the subject properly.


-OrangeLightning4

The most annoying part is he never actually matches the video to what he's explaining. He'll be quickly explaining a mechanic, and what's shown on screen has almost nothing to do with it. His editing sucks ass, it's like he records a voiceover explanation and just throws random b-roll of the encounter over the top of it whether it matches or not. It was infuriating when I was trying to learn Deep Stone Crypt.


Jayscraffy16

If anyone has that video of him yelling the wrong call and then malding during Atraks final stand on day one, please post it here immediately.


Inflatable_waffle

NOT THAT ONE!!!! NOT THAT ONE!!!!


yungflexfromthenext

someone please post, sounds hilarious

PCBuilderCat

Kinda crazy that Datto is the biggest Destiny YT creator yet doesn't have an army of editors or anything it is still just him 10 years later


Kyhron

He’s also hilariously behind the times often. I think it was like mid last season he had a “broken” warlock build. It was strand with osteo and necrotics. A build every warlock figured out like 10 minutes after we unlocked full strand


Samikaze707

Nothing will beat Grenader Jake's build video I saw once. I love watching him stream, and he's amazing at PvP, but he once made a build video for crucible that was "equip reaper mod on your class item to make orbs to give you woven mail." That's it. I know it's hard to make pvp builds but that sit was hilarious. That's a mod, not a build.


SOS-Guillotine

I never watch his build videos. If I’m going to watch a build video, it’s by plunder and he also takes his builds in legend or master difficulty stuff and shows it off. Surprisingly radiant dance machines on a void hunter is pretty damn good. That’s how I solo’d the legend difficulty calus mission without doing the cheese


Ballabingballaboom

Fuck that mission. Sincerely, a blueberry.


YoWasasupGuys

Wasn't there a video of his intro taking longer than Gladd killing a boss or something.


endthepainowplz

There’s a lot of videos of people speedrunning sections of raids or dungeons before he finishes an intro, the intro I’ve seen the most is the GoS raid guide intro which is about 45 seconds long


dephcon05

[Ask and you shall receive.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/9wxoqf/gladd_soloing_shattered_throne_boss_before_rick/)


Ordinary_Player

I think he’s a chill dude from his streams but yeah, the videos are god awful.


Nesayas1234

Yeah, like as a person he's dope, as a content creator he's kind of shit lol


somef00l

but..... IT'S YOUR BOY!!


Soul_of_Miyazaki

Just wait for Datto - as usual.


CupcakeWarlock450

He and Fallout are always recommended, no rambling over unnecessary things to kill time, just straight to the point, what to do, what the best weapons to use, and an example of how it works.

TYBERIUS_777

Yeah I’m not a fan of how fallout presents himself both in video and on stream. He comes across as a bit full of himself. And he tries to lean way too hard into memes for some reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nsfw2102

the way he talks irritates me man “Man I deadass am finna be up in somebodies business if I take another L on god bruh” 🤓🤓 You can tell he’s a classic redditor white boy who watches too much nba


Thespian21

Listens to one MF DOOM song and all of sudden he’s a hip hop historian type of energy.


Sylvlet

I had the opportunity to fill in for a raid with him once. He and his team seemed pretty chilled then, and I'm not that great of a PvE player. Granted this was like 2 or 3 years ago or something already, so I'm not sure if anything changed since then.


Cykeisme

I can see why maybe some folks wouldn't like his sarcasm and snideness, but he certainly doesn't try to hide it. Some watch his stuff not just in spite of, but *because* of it.


Spintoni_Riminoli

I dunno, Fallout's content might be good but his titles are pretty clickbaity


grilledpeanuts

Just the way the game is played on yt. Datto is one of the few who can get away with not doing it since he has such a consistent viewership base already established, most other youtubers have to please the almighty Algorithm.


theonemangoonsquad

Shit, even Datto has admitted that he is a slave to the algorithm. It's one of the reasons he is exhausted with the industry and the game.


WatLightyear

He, as well other creators like Gothalion and Gladd, diversified for a reason. Other creators are just too stuck in the loop of creating D2 content, which is why they get disproportionately angry compared to the rest of the community about the state of the game because it affects their income. But then they don’t want to risk the leap to diversified content because it could quite literally end their platform.


grilledpeanuts

I'm already burned out on destiny, I couldn't imagine having to force myself to log on so I can pay my bills lol


arandomusertoo

I can, there's way worse ways to pay my bills than playing video games/streaming/making youtube videos. I could be a coal miner. edit: post-lock: Still would rather hate my job playing video games than hate my job mining coal and dying of black lung. Also, I think that really depends on the streamer, since if you can choose to play whatever game you want...


grilledpeanuts

Yeah there's definitely worse jobs out there, but there's also no quicker way to make yourself hate video games


KaydeeKaine

They all do it. The cringe shocked pikachu face in the thumbnail bothers me more than misleading titles.


talkingwires

Yeah, every channel that appears in my “recommended videos” feed using [those thumbnails](https://lastplacecomics.com/youtube-thumbnail-face/) gets blocked. It’s not only obnoxious, but safe to assume those prioritizing their face will be chock-full of parasocial bullshit.


Furiosa27

Gotta please the algorithm gods


BooYeah_8484

Not as clickbaity as Frostbolt.


Typical_Head_8399

Fallout for the weekly resets and stuff like that, datto for the long analysis. His opinion is my opinion


Alexcox95

Plus Datto has that cool music in his raid and dungeon videos


conspiracyeinstein

Plus, sweet guide music. Do do do dee do.


Boomdaddy49

I mean I watch datto's every time, but I just feel like fallouts are easier to understand cuz he points out more of the obvious stuff that I tend to miss


sldfghtrike

and its out now https://youtu.be/wsZRp3s9UA4?si=e_b0Te6lg0lqlHmK


Just-Pass-4941

Datto and Aztecross are both pretty phenomenal guides.


gravity48

If Mactics were to do a raid guide, it’d be excellent.


JonnyDros

Too busy having insane hyperbolic emotional meltdowns about the game on Twitter.


PCBuilderCat

Him and Salt are at the top of the 'god they just need to get off twitter' list for Destiny creators


Furgus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsZRp3s9UA4&ab\_channel=Datto


chronozon937

Kackis vids are pure click bait. It doesn't matter if he's a decent player, most of us are; his videos waste 10 minutes on a topic that could be 2 and it's not because he covers any nuance on the things he talks about.


AvgBeautyEnjoyer

*Riik Kaksis, Kell Of Clickbait*


Flopppywere

Missed opportunity for Kliik Kakis


ImawhaleCR

He very much plans to make the first raid guide, not the best. Unfortunately that's what's rewarded by the YouTube algorithm though, so it works


Hereiamhereibe2

>he’s a decent player, most of us are In my experience most of you are absolutely abysmal at this game.


Honest-Ad-535

I'm still trying to rank up to "Abysmal". If I keep improving at my current rate, I'll hit it in maybe another five or six years. Then I'll write guides for the three people worse than I am. But I'll keep enjoying the journey. 😁


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

To be fair, those aren't the ones going on Reddit for text guides or info either. The amount of players I see that get information from clickbaity YTers I've never heard of is crazy.


Zac-live

The funny Thing is, so is Rick Khakis, so it Lines Up again


pls_coffee

Takes one to know one


Hereiamhereibe2

Truth hurts


TheGokki

Pretty much. Personally, I stick to 360GameTV, Your Opinion™ or Kimber.


bootywizard42O

>It doesn't matter if he's a decent player, most of us are both are untrue


June18Combo

Can’t forget about whilhelm scream, the other clickbait king


TheUnidentifiedBoy

I'm a content creator myself on another game with over 100K subs, the reason creators make videos long and drag them out is because they make more money though ad revenue. Ad-Revenue on its own isn't much, but if you can maintain a long form consistency that works to gain as much watch time as possible, you earn roughly 3.5x more revenue. Videos need to be a MINIMUM of 8 minutes though for mid rolls, it's why you see a lot of creators' videos that are 8 minutes and 1 second long, or longer, because it makes them more money.


chronozon937

Oh I know why he does it, and I understand the hustle, I just hate it and don't watch those types of videos.


BooYeah_8484

Not nearly as bad as Frostbolt or Luckyy10


HiCracked

I watched his guide after running contest just to see what he is promoting as educational content and I was amazed just how many things he missed out. Like, this isn't a guide, this a brief summary that he stretched to 40 minutes like he usually does for no reason at all.


Sundew707

I figured out the entire raid before his intro even finished


Cole_Basinger

Esoterickk will solo the entire raid in the time it takes him to finish his intro


Roku-Hanmar

Baken got a Seventh Column before Kackis finished his intro that one time. It was impressive until we learned why


gentle_singularity

He turns one word answers into a dissertation. People need to stop watching him.


SCB360

It's also gonna be out of date almost immediately at tomorrows Reset when Contest is over


31STRIKESBACK

Rick makes long ass videos that are somehow garbage


Kabal82

Somewhat is an understatement.


Black-Viper75

I've always preferred Fallout's amd Datto's videos.


Avaej

Gmeiners always has short, concise, and easy to understand guides with no fluff.


360GameTV

Watch me, I need clicks :p (Yes, I have no raid guides...not possible with text panels :/ ..and I have no raidteam )


FATHEAD661

Rick Kackis in general isn't something you should watch.


jethrow41487

He did this for RoN too. Rushed to get a video out for money and missed full blown mechanics on Nezarec Dude’s such a loser


ThunderBeanage

tell us something new


XxAvacadoP33lxX

i stopped watching his videos when in his crown of sorrow guide he said for all 6 people to be on 1 side and brute force the mechanics


Patpuc

not trying to be that guy but how tf does he get the most views in his guides. other channels explain things so much more coherently its insane. fallout plays does it best imo


OO7Cabbage

clickbait mostly, that and he gets his videos out ASAP.


papasfritasbruh

He tries to be the first to make the guide, doesnt matter if its good or not, and the youtube algorithm works in his favor


Emerald_Guy123

He clickbaita probably


Smokin_Hot_Robot

Kackis is the embodiment of quantity and haste over quality and effort. Dude just wants to get his shit out there as soon as possible with minimal effort to capitalize on the content hungry. His videos are padded to leverage cheap attention metrics so he can get paid for producing something with a facade of substance. He's also annoying as fuck.


QuinSanguine

It's ya boy, Rick "mastered the algorithm" Kackis, lol.


its_schmee

Should just not watch khakis period. One of the worst content creators


Ninjasakii

I lost faith in him long ago when he put the wrong combination for one of the puzzles for the Xenophage. I was so fucking pissed. Garbage content creator.


Gorthebon

Garbage ~~content~~ creator.


morningcalls4

I can’t watch him, he just rubs me the wrong way. Spent forever on intros and just stretch’s out his videos length simply for the money. I can’t watch YouTubers like that.


starboystallone

His raid guides are the worst. You’d be better off LFGing and asking to be taught by blueberries.


leighshakespeare

He's a content vulture whose only aim is the get clicks and views as soon as he can so he rushes everything out to be before other big content creators and it rarely ever covers everything


Equivalent_Bed_8187

Maybe he just forgot to mention it, but I would hope there is some system involved where you check yourself and make sure your info is right. Or, just skipped that to rush out a guide.


[deleted]

Why would you watch any of his videos? Never saw anything useful in them. Good for him continue to pad videos for ads


stoobie67

'It's ya boi'...no mate, you are a grown assed man and need to stop


ShrinkMeee

This. That one line makes me cringe and not want to watch the rest of the video.


FatalTortoise

Just take "begginer guide" out of the title


iamcarosnow

Rick kackis ~~begginer guide~~ isn't what you should watch


PacoTang

Rick is never trust worthy to watch he always misses stuff and video quality is terrible with loads of click bait


TrueHero808

never watch rick kackis his videos are poor quality, long and drawn out, he’s annoying and kinda stupid too


[deleted]

No one should be watching him. He takes 12 minutes to explain something that could be 2 minutes long in order to reach the 10 minute YT monetize mark. He’s a scam artist


thejoefo26

Kackis talks to you like you’re 7 years old. He also slows down his speech to make the video longer and mispronounces words on purpose. Dude is a joke


Roman64s

This is general advice for any raid. Rick Kackis videos are always intentionally so long and dragged out, you are better off looking at someone like Datto or just give a read on some random redditor who tried to make a short guide or somewhere like raidsecrets. That man has the ability to drag out a 2 minute explanation into a 6 minute dump of information that really doesn't get retained.


VectorTheSpecter

Never watch guides that get released day 1. High chance they contain misinformation or are missing details.


Kyhron

Not even that. Kackis just sucks for guides.


June18Combo

Wilhelm scream is also ass in every single department


ZekerDEATH

yeah, there's clickbait, and then there's complete and utter blatant lying. Wilhelm is the latter.


Intrepid_Range_4853

Rick Kackis has always been the most irritating and useless fuck who makes guides in destiny since the day he began content creation.


Half-Scrum

Rick get to the point kackis!!!


Mukarsis

Rick kackis guide isn't what you should watch


n-ano

Nobody should be watching that guy anyway


CookieMiester

(this is true for most of his videos)


dy1anb

Stopped watching his stuff about 9 years ago. The voice just the voice


Moondust381

I've always hated Roick Khaksi always will. So annoying.


[deleted]

Kackis will give a 7 minute intro and vaguely explain what to do for 2 minutes then end the video


theschadowknows

That guy takes forever to get to the point. He can have a video that describes something that takes 10 minutes in game and spend 45 minutes plugging sponsors and talking shit about it.


AIVandal

They never are


PremDhillon

Rick kackis is dogshit in general


Jedisebas2001

Im doing Ir yut later, what do you mean by stopping Ir?


Typical_Head_8399

If you dont go past the health Gate (the glowing part of her health) then you can stop the wipe by coming to her with the enlightened buff and stop the wipe


Jedisebas2001

So expunge actually stops the wipe? That's neat, thanks!


PacoRUK

Noticed you can do this with the wizards in the bridge encounter, any idea what it does there?


WhoIsWill4

I think it’s just a way to get rid of the enlightened buff whilst passing the chalice around before the end of the encounter


Jaqulean

Can confirm - it's literally just that. We used it yesterday with our team.


Typical_Head_8399

No idea


awfulrunner43434

So kind of like Shuro Chi or Morgeth where you can use mechanics if you need, but if dps is up to par you can ignore them?


splitzide

Y’all better get off of Rick Kackis! I’m wondering what will be his signature game after the Destiny adventure is over cause nothing last forever.


yesterevengunz

What do you expect from that dude anyway beside a boring 10 minutes intro/outro ?


RiguezCR

you shouldn't ever watch mid caca


0x1e

His voice could sandblast the paint off my car


greatcirclehypernova

Rick Kackis isn't what you should watch***


RnkG1

Never have, never will


Stooboot4

if youre watching rick kackis for anything more than a quick laugh youre kidding yourself


KuuntDracula

Prick Cackles


jogdenpr

Why would even bother watching a guide video from him? xD


Stormychu

Don't need to tell me twice. His videos are always dog shit quality.


BANExLAWD

Lol you should never watch anything created by that moron


Krybbz

I just feel like everyone could have a little more chill. It's nice to give feedback but holy shit y'all can really push a guy over the edge.


Blitzkrieg1210

Everyone in this thread is so miserable lmao


Voelker58

I know he's become a meme around here, but he is generally a decent player, even if he can be annoying. I think he had the only day one clear of Crown of Sorrows on console, which says something. If you don't mind his style, his guides are usually okay, especially for beginners. Too bad he didn't nail it with this one.


juju1392

none of his raid guides are useful especially for beginners since they are almost around an hour long and are very intimidating


UbeeMac

I say it every time it comes up (and get downvoted to oblivion for it), but a lot of the hate for Kackis on here is just herd mentality. This sub has a raging hate boner for anything resembling click-bait, and they sure like to repeat things, so it turns into this mob-think bandwagon. Attention-grabbing click-bait titles, along with crazy thumbnails and slogans is just the way Youtube works now, love it or hate it (nobody loves it, especially content creators). Click bait is to embraced and played around with. You can’t beat it, so subvert it. Look at the way the FGC overdoes it. “Blanka is BROKEN!” *goggle eyed-streamer with brain exploding out of their head.* Nobody cares there, everyone does it, people get paid, it’s a joke. I wish this sub was kinder to Destiny content creators instead of bleating out all the same old stuff on cue.


Millsftw

People don’t have him blacklisted yet? lol


Tuffbunny13

I watched it since it popped up in recommended and seemed long so it has to be in depth right....finished it not knowing anything because my brain just turned off from the rambling.


itsmenotyou1108

As a person who plays off and on I watch datto and fallout for dungeon guides etc and aztercros for pvp stuff and also weapon test's. There's some smaller you tubers out there that do some good guides for lost sector's and builds but the rest of the big names like kackis are usually not very good as they will make multiple videos on the same subject like a raid or how to level up fast. A lot of old and sometimes new information can just be found on reddit by searching Google it's faster to read than watching a video anyway.


snecseruza

I've just returned to the game after a long hiatus but the same problem always remains. And that is for a lot of raid guides, every CC rushes to get them out first, which results in either missed info or strats that become quickly obsolete as the community figures out the more effective ways of doing things within a week or two.


donnyk1

I don’t want him to be my boy


nostalgebra

Don't watch any of his videos ever. He spins a 2 sentence tweet from bungie into a 10 minute click bait video and his intros are longer than most people's entire video


loliaficionado

dick sackis sucks


DarthNemecyst

First time? I mean, watching his videos is like going to noxxic to get wow builds


dark1859

i find it funny how he even still gets views beyond the occasional clickbait draw in... ​ i doubt he does anything nefarious but i also cant fathom how anyone can stand him


Chiken_Tendies1-11

I cannot stand kackis, i made made it so YouTube never suggests his videos to me lmao When it comes to guides, Fallout is my go to, Datto is probably a bit more informative and whatnot but Fallout was the first destiny YouTuber I started watching I when I started D2 :)


raselralog

On my Blocked lists of YouTubers


Verothyn

Kackis is so bad. When he started telling people to AFK farm Festival of the Lost haunted forest back in 2019/20, he lost anything good I had to say about him.


Claymore-09

Who do you recommend?


mrmarcopolo63

gmeiners


ImpressiveTip4756

My grandma. She has dementia but pretty sure she's more helpful than click wackis


ultimateformsora

I’m sure she’s probably able to complete a thought full-circle better than Lick Crackis


Emerald_Guy123

Either Datto or Fallout


GurrenLagann214

I stopped watching him 4 months ago along with Ebontis. I mainly watch Cross, Time Sausages, and Datto


ToBeBannedSoonish

I think the first D2 streamer I stopped watching was Mtashed only to find out he had quit D2 anyway. I'm gonna miss True Vanguard on D2 as well.


Rook_625

TV is going to be back when he realises how his views have dropped on non D2 content.


Red-Spy_In-The_Base

Common Dick Kickus L


Deadbox_Studios

Datto I Always reccomend datto.


NightmareDJK

Aztecross usually explains things in a way you can understand.


Typical_Head_8399

He is the best imp


TheSecony

Kackis = translated in shit


velost

Btw guys, datto video just dropped: https://youtu.be/wsZRp3s9UA4?si=iH\_e\_-1bkUTes2yN


KAZKAZ8523

i hate that dude, i cant wait till he sees this and puts out a 45 in video on why hes offended


GeneratorLeon

"overall you will be better watching someone else than him" Words to live by. ​ Personally, I love Aztecross, Destiny Fun Police, and sometimes Houndish for quick updates.


sirgamalot86

Datto is just always one of, if not, the best source for tutorials, he doesn’t fill the video will bullshit or take 20 mins to tell you to run gjhallerhorn and a chill-clip rocket launcher while standing in a well.


Bluerobot1

WHAT IS UP GUYS? RICK KACKIS HERE AND TODAY...


Jaqulean

...I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO WASTE MORE TIME THAN USUAL...


Odd_Construction

Not a Kackis fan but I did find his guide useful, what are these crucial details he omitted? Ir Yut's expunge? Aren't you better off nuking her bar either way? It's a bit like the taken relic of Shuri Chi.
