[celest raft]

REPO is peak

[wild tapir]

Also, I have a logical approach to games - if I enjoy a game and plan to play it for hundreds of hours, then I think it's worth spending more money on it. After all, I don't hesitate to spend $15 at the cinema on a movie that only lasts 2 hours. So why shouldn't I invest $40 in a game + additional content, such as cosmetics or battle passes, if I plan to spend 200~ hours playing it

But again, game developers cant force people to do it, especially if game already not ftp

[livid jungle]

i wonder if anyone is will to hear out my story, few years back i was working on my own lil indie fps.
a guy came to my discord, asked me how they would make a shield as a weapon took notes, screenshots of my idea's, banned me form discord.
discord responded by deleting my account and then made doom the dark ages and i died inside.

[signal sequoia]

are you schiz by any chance

[bold sleet]

I believe that one is a message about a dev live gameplay session with commentary rather than a new alpha test date

[livid jungle]

did you know the biggest criminals ever used the greek ideaoligy of calling people crazy so they can get away with abuse?

[silk flame]

Damn...

[safe kernel]

He knows to much send the team in

💀

[bold sleet]

Well we’d need a little more proof, also part of that Greek philosophy of argumentation. You know, ethos

[safe kernel]

The doom sheild aint even a original idea lol

[livid jungle]

the way it looks, acts.. yeah it kind of is

[small cosmos]

When they talking about the alpha

[safe kernel]

Kinda the base concept isnt tho

[livid jungle]

the industry is full of bad actors

That's most people

[livid jungle]

and just b4 the ban hits.. he slaps me with a MR burns meme

[safe kernel]

U got screenshot proof of this ?

[livid jungle]

discord apologized but the data was gone and damage done

and i was just coding it for some retro hardware for fun

lost it all because of it being on discord and my pc having a rat

[safe kernel]

Yea i dont believe it ngl

[livid jungle]

i really dont care if you dont

[bold sleet]

You know we can’t just take you at your word right? Like you’d surely have SOME documentation on any of this

[safe kernel]

U seem to care if people do why else say it in a gen chat?

[livid jungle]

i am over trying to lead people to water only to drown in their own naritive

i care about the safety of gamers.. my people

[safe kernel]

Ur the one pushing a narrative about a massive company stealing ur idea gtfo

Wym by that

[livid jungle]

you think every link you click is not feeding a bigger machine?

[safe kernel]

Oh its one of these guys

[livid jungle]

remeber they call people a conspiracy nut.. and then tomorow it's headline news

[livid jungle]

and then.. where is your truth?

[safe kernel]

Lmao

[prisma flower]

Escape will make me God.

[rancid pebble]

[nova moss]

[supple hound]

"lord or uh, lady NuCal; may please have burger?"

[heavy grove]

any news on tests not in the US

or is the game still running in US only for alpha tests

nvm i can see the alpha is over whoopsie

[random aurora]

has anyone here played arc riders? is how is the play test, is it promising?

Hello my pregnants wassup

[sharp halo]

Arc raider feels like

[random aurora]

i'll be sure to keep that in mind

[north pond]

Got a warning from bungie for saying the game looks bad

This is next level soft 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tranquil thistle]

I’d be curious to see exactly what you said

[north pond]

Literally that bro

Except I said trash ooops didn’t know that was a no no noun smh

[tranquil thistle]

That’s how ima pull up XL rose

[sharp halo]

This how it feels like to play battlefield V

Wait a minute

[sharp halo]

Thats marathon gameplay btw

[rancid pebble]

real

[odd karma]

wish I could get alpha testing 🙁

[tidal harness]

You should play Battlefield....Not the current one

[magic rose]

Battlefield hardline was my shit growing up

[rancid pebble]

"growing up"

[tidal harness]

I started with 1942. Yeah, i'm old

[soft star]

mods can we ban people for being born after 2000?

oof this is powerful

[wraith elk]

I was on team marathon at first, but now I’m fully on team arc raiders. Marathon ain’t it for me

[wild tapir]

Different games, gonna play them both with friends, cant understand why people choose sides

[rugged frost]

I can understand it. Arc raiders is a much better game so there is little to no reason to even consider marathon

next question please

[soft star]

video games are a market and marathon will inevitably compete with it

[wild tapir]

Yeah, it makes GTAVI delay they release

Bungie did a great job

[wraith elk]

They choose sides because they’re both $40 lol. Most people aren’t gonna fork out money for both

[flat depot]

Server is cooked

[soft star]

exactly. thinking "why choose sides" when both are paid extraction shooters is basically power consumer thinking, which does not apply to most people. i'd like to play both during their respective alpha tests and create my own opinion

[magic rose]

I don’t really see much on picking sides since both games are on different part of the spectrum which gonna bring in two different audiences. But lately it simply been a lot of arc rider lovers going around putting in a lot of hate to marathon without a real reason or doing it because it trendy. Both games can thrive on the market

[wraith elk]

Why don’t you come back with a real argument instead of being butthurt?

[wild tapir]

40$ nowadays its like nothing, dont you think?

[wraith elk]

In this economy, that’s not pocket change

[soft star]

vro, not everyone is from a first world country with an IT job.

[magic rose]

40 bucks is a steal in the gaming market 😭

[median jetty]

especially with delulu publishers releasing unfinished games for $70 or $80

[soft star]

you're not asking for 40 bucks you're asking for 80 to try both games

[wraith elk]

Exactly

[soft star]

thank god steam has a refund feature

[wild tapir]

Get ready for GTAVI and what is coming next with 120$ prices

[next verge]

I think the whole reason Arc Raiders folks shit on marathon so much is cause there's this air in the gaming industry and community where "oh well there can only be ONE game of this type around"

Which I think is super silly

[soft star]

i hope gta6 enjoys not being bought by me until it goes down to at least 30$ on sale then

[next verge]

banger slay the princess pfp btw

[soft star]

ty ty

[median jetty]

@next verge is that an ultrakill reference in your profile

[next verge]

indeed

[ancient fern]

Even if I were to buy both there would probably be a delay between purchases. I'm not dropping 80 on 2 different games when I'm looking to just get into one, and already have been drawn into one that I plan on putting a lot of time into.

[median jetty]

lets go another ultrakill degen

[soft star]

im an ultrakill degen

[median jetty]

lets go 3 ultrakill degens in one chat lets be friends

[next verge]

played through it for the first time finally and its now firmly lodged itself in my brain for the foreseeable future

[ancient fern]

Add a 4th

[wraith elk]

I think gta 6 is worth it’s price tag though

[median jetty]

LETS GO 4 ULTRAKILL DEGENS

[magic rose]

I notice that, it just sad as shit they wanna compare it so hard knowing dam well both games produce two different type of content that gonna appeal two different audiences. On top of that. Only reason arc getting hype because it gonna give what some feature marathon missing in arc so I get it but doesn’t justify the pure hate towards one game

[next verge]

to be fair, for gta 6

it isn't CONFIRMED to be over 100 bucks.

[magic rose]

GTA 6 should be 80 bucks and not go on sale for awhile

[next verge]

its heavily rumored. but not confirmed

[median jetty]

gta 6 will sell regardless but if they charge $80 its well earned with rockstars reputation

[magic rose]

And for a bundle pack, it should be around 100 bucks since some games do bundle packs

[wild tapir]

What we all can agree, that tarkov cannot be cost 250$

[magic rose]

Didn’t tarkov remove the 250 bucks or nah? I remember when I heard about the price originally

[soft star]

tbh there's plenty of reasons to not support nikita aside from his greed

[median jetty]

yea guys lets hate EA and ubisoft instead ✊ 🔥

[magic rose]

Burn them both down

[next verge]

yeah. I have my own issues with Embark, which lends itself to hating on Finals and Arc. but even having played the test, the game just felt bad to me

[median jetty]

i legit get them both confused cus theyre both evil companies

[magic rose]

💀 why switch from origin to EA play knowing dam well EA PLAY SO GOD DAM BUGGY

[wraith elk]

I’m not hating on marathon, I just don’t think it’s that great. But it’s not really “separate types of content” they’re both extraction shooters. They’re different, yes, but they share the same gameplay loop.

[next verge]

they have enough differences that itll inevitably drag in different players

[crimson phoenix]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjyoVHXR/

[magic rose]

You missed alot of the original arc people in here that trigger what I said. They are very different games only thing that throwing them together is the extraction shooter title

[wraith elk]

Both only pull in one audience. The extraction shooter audience

[wild tapir]

Btw, Outer Wilds fans? Finished game like a week ago and had a blast playing it

[next verge]

marathon being a more casual approach alongside the fps styling, vs on the more hardcore style, third person shooter, etc

[next verge]

phenomenal game. shame you will never have that same experience again

[median jetty]

marathon will also have ranked so that will prob appeal to the more hardcore players

[magic rose]

💀 I won’t lie to. I didn’t know embark made arc. I thought arc was off the grid originally till I saw a gameplay on TikTok looking at the description saw it was arc. Then it came up on YouTube with embark

[hearty garden]

It’s dead

[wild tapir]

All my friends hate 3rd person view in competitive shooter, especially in this genre

[next verge]

yeeeeah i really hate embark as a company on moral levels. their use of AI being a big one

[rancid pebble]

the extraction shooter audience already have their main games there's a reason the industry refers to these games as life style games now ( which is fucking sad lol )

[soft star]

guys....... it's dead. close the chat. 😭

[wraith elk]

Good for your friends

[magic rose]

Marathon gonna appeal first time extraction shooters, the art style softer on the eyes as someone with motion sickness but also anyone who like FPS will play it since it not third POV

[next verge]

having played arc though, I'unno. and im saying this not having played Marathon yet since I didn't get in

arc just felt bad to play to me

[soft star]

extraction games are just shooters for mmo players. coincidentally, destiny is an mmo

[next verge]

pve sucked hard, which made the pvp experience worse for me

[wild tapir]

😢 yeah, same with Signalis, cant make myself play it for different ending

[austere zodiac]

Marathon hurts my everything to play

[median jetty]

my marathon experience so far:

[magic rose]

I heard their AI stuff still pay their people but idk. I didn’t focus on it much. I left the finals after season 3 or 4 after the community almost killed embark with threats due to terminal attack as a rank mode

[wild tapir]

(Got Promise in a first playthrough)

[austere zodiac]

ARC is extremely friendly for new gamers.

[magic rose]

Arc gives me a stroke

[wraith elk]

Embark is amazing, wdym??? They used AI for voices in the finals, who cares? They’re not criminals. They sampled their own devs who agreed to let their voices be used. Nobody was effected by it

[rugged frost]

At least embark has proximity chat

[austere zodiac]

You should see a doctor

[next verge]

It is still the use of generative AI, which has a massive impact on the environment, and is not paying actual voice actors.

[magic rose]

I’m fine, just not a fan of arc

[next verge]

On a moral level, it is disgusting.

[rugged frost]

no it's not

[magic rose]

Embark prox chat is shit at least from my experience 💀 I had a dude screaming at me for way too long

[rugged frost]

if a machine can copy art better than human can copy art, there is nothing wrong with that

[next verge]

I don't care if they make good games, I don't care if their monetization is good we already know it isn't for Arc, their use of AI is disgusting.

[wraith elk]

They don’t need to hire VAs if they don’t want to. They’re a small team and it works in the context for The Finals. It doesn’t hurt anybody

[soft star]

i am not against AI and i feel this case it was an okay use of it. however, most AI is extremely exploitative. then again i've worked in the AI field and currently follow how they're used in FPV drones sooooooooooooooo im special

[austere zodiac]

The whole world uses AI except for elitist artists

[median jetty]

ok im go eepy time seeya later marathoners

[magic rose]

There isn’t much AI in the medical field

[next verge]

Those are paid roles that VAs could have had. Instead, they used AI.

That is a moral disgust to me. So I refuse to play Embark games.

[rugged frost]

Mediocre artists absolutely HATE AI because AI can do their job so easily and do it better

[magic rose]

Sleep well

[austere zodiac]

There are already AI diagnostics

[austere zodiac]

What so that they can go on strike and ruin the experience of another game? 😂😂😂 Dime a dozen

[magic rose]

That about it. Alot of offices and places I used to work at. We are still most of the time using paper and no AI or computers

[soft star]

they're unreliable and a lot of people move on from using them in the first place

[wraith elk]

That’s just so stupid to me man 😂 They still paid their employees for it. They can’t just generate voices from nothing.

[wild tapir]

I think big chunk of extraction shooter playerbase still in tarkov, and still want to have good alternative. Hate it or love it, Tarkov still had most of content among their competitors, and have if i can it called that - "soul" with easter europe vibes. If you look at alternatives, like Delta force or Arena Breakout - it looks generic at best.

[austere zodiac]

Falling behind u see

[next verge]

Would not need to strike if the industry was not so gungho about killing the environment with the use of AI for a quick few bucks saved.

Even then, the use of AI makes it a worse product in my eyes, personally. If I play a game and see AI generated artwork, or hear AI generated voices, I think less of the devs and studio. It loses the human touch the game would otherwise have.

[magic rose]

No. It just how offices do their work honestly

[next verge]

There is no human touch to AI works, there is no soul to it.

[rugged frost]

still better than most human works

[soft star]

sophia is being reactionary about AI being bad by default but it's not like it's baseless. the "only mediocre artists complain" take is also very stupid because if it was only artists complaining, then there wouldn't be such overwhelming disgust and fear around publicaly announcing you use AI in games in some way

[magic rose]

Can agree on this honestly

Personally believes AI shouldn’t even be touching mental health as well

[soft star]

truth is AI is useful but not as a people replacing tool. it's shoved into that role by greedy people and is done in the shittiest way possible.

[next verge]

I genuinely feel like seeing the use of AI in a game for voices or art makes the experience much worse to mem.

AI art and voices just feel wrong, there's this feeling of grime to it.

The way AI voices drag and drone on, the hyper glossy sheen on AI art.

[soft star]

have you ever played ready or not?

[wild tapir]

For now, but its gonna be better, give it another 10 years

[next verge]

I have not, no.

[next verge]

Oh yeah no, I know the tech will get better. That's the part that worries me.

[soft star]

one of the first missions is you're called by a streamer's mom, she's held hostage. you enter his room and it's full of early 2023 AI art. it looks pretty bad and honestly i hope the devs eventually replace all the AI assets

[magic rose]

AI can get better, but I’m worried it gonna weaken the human mind to make us lazy in education department at least in my opinion

[dusk badger]

Already has. A lot of the younger people I know are just predisposed to going to ChatGPT for every problem that comes their way now.

[wild tapir]

People still gonna be behind major decisions, art directions etc, but AI will take jobs from people fro sure. Is it bad? Yeah, for some people. Can you prevent it? No, and why you need to - its just human progress

[next verge]

My issue is nothing will be done to improve the living experience, because that'd make the company line not go up.

[soft star]

"its just human progress" is a poor argument - is it really progress to centralize wealth further and make it harder to move up the social and corporate ladder?

[glacial bane]

That's a healthy attitude. The problem becomes when the MTX is very predatory and in your face and the fear of fomo kicks in especially if you're younger and play with a group of friends and you succumb to peer pressure. Then it's not so cool.

[soft star]

not to mention that AI still has completely unsolveable issues of hallucinations. it can have fewer of them but it can never stop having them. there's also issues that don't have datasets prebuilt

[wild tapir]

I dont think anyone has power to prevent it

[magic rose]

that what piss me off to the max, I was the graduating class that was getting ChatGPT then after that it was full spring. All district down to colleges had to make statements of they used any AI, it was getting expelled from the program or ISS. My med school was very strict on it since they wanted us to actually learn.
But I don’t like the idea younger kids EVEN ADULTS are using AI to fix their mental health or friendships. Like hello? That throwing a bandaid over a serious issues that can development into worse which we already have seen with kids and adults getting attached to their AI that thrown some into the deep end

[soft star]

we don't have power to prevent a lot of things, should we still consider it good?

[wild tapir]

I didnt said it good, i just think that we dont have a choice

[soft star]

AI being used for mental health is unbelievably sad but inevitable. most people do not have connections deep or close enough to go over these issues and it is insufficient and will never be sufficient for that. truth is, the average person is lonely and cut off from fulfilment by socioeconomic factors and will do his best to cope and get better. if there's no good option, they'll go for 2nd best no matter how insufficient it is for a proper solution. that's the real tragedy of AI

[dusk badger]

Give it five years. Butlerian Jihad soon, trust.

[soft star]

you said "human progress" - i assume you think that's a good thing. progress that harms people is absolutely not a good thing so why do it? it should be to done to better lives.

progress without good judgement is how you make a nuclear bomb before nuclear reactors

[wild tapir]

Yeah, even before AI stuff i hated when youre in casual argument with friends and someone reaches for google to end it

Cant gaslight people nowadays for fun

[magic rose]

That what I don’t like at all with the use of AI in this department. They really made actually AI bots that are psychiatrist to give diagnoses and PEOPLE ACTUALLY USING IT TO TELL THEIR DOCTORS THEY HAVE THAT ISSUE. It really undermining our mental health department (which in America I sorta understand because it a dumpster fire that personally been fighting with) but people mainly focusing on believing AI gonna fix them without looking into other options first scares me

[magic rose]

Well, depends on the argument because if it was a dumb argument. I would of pulled out google so there wasn’t confusion 😭

[glacial bane]

You could look at it the other way around also. Maybe AI is the first step for many before they go book a consultation.

[wild tapir]

People struggle everytime something new and more efficient is happened, for example like robot machines in factories, it took jobs from many people, but in a long terms it help alot. AI can and will help people with research in healtcare, and science

It's all about balance, and how humanity will use it

[magic rose]

I try thinking like that a couple times but it very hard when some turn around looking at people who do seek actual treatment with the statement of “AI could of saved you money and gave you all those diagnoses without a doctor note” like wtf

[soft star]

you're comparing dangerous factory jobs to junior positions in AI, no this isn't remotely equivalent

[wild tapir]

Government and companies gonna need to make something to support people, like UBI

[glacial bane]

That is the future for sure.

[soft star]

to get UBI you need to advocate for UBI. no popular politician does that in america, AI meanwhile is lobbied super hard. so that's not real world thinking

[glacial bane]

AI unleashed in all facets of work will severely diminish the actual need of people to do stuff. When efficiency and productivity skyrocket you need less people. It's very simple math.

[magic rose]

all honesty, AI needs alot of work to find that sweet cherry on top balance that isn’t losing jobs, ending people, destroying education list goes on

[glacial bane]

AI will transform all jobs and even education. We will have learning centers with AI assisted learning that will cater to all types of learning. That is a good thing imo

[magic rose]

So take away human interaction is okay

[umbral rune]

Ai is bad

Simple as that

[magic rose]

reality, we should be the mother ship, AI should be our passenger princess

[edgy moth]

That's the last time I'm using a cracked version of VLC. Every time I export as mpeg I get mpreg

[pulsar raptor]

at its current state yes, when it becomes more localized (home ai you can feed you own data to) i think it will start to become much more sustainable

[wild tapir]

Yea, pfhor sure

[glacial bane]

AI is like all other tech, neutral. It's how we use it.

[spring forge]

All commercial AI runs on stolen data and is not advertised as the unreliable blackbox it is. That’s how we use it.

[glacial bane]

I'm against using gen AI for production though unless artists are paid and agrees.

[glacial bane]

Yes, I hate this.

[dull torrent]

Because "AI" is just a glorified version of a phone keyboard predictive text function, anyone trying to use it to diagnose mental illness or whatever is way more likely to find that it just yes-ands whatever delusions someone has and leads them to be driven further down whatever spiral they're on than to get any useful information, lol

[glacial bane]

But thats gen AI. Like your chatbots or whatever. AI in research like in medicine and construction is very good.

[small nexus]

When is the beta

[dull torrent]

Spoken like a true corposhill. ;p

[magic rose]

We probably won’t know till the 16th on the MAplay stream

[wild tapir]

Would be nice to see ai in game industry aswell, for roleplay purposes, make background characters more alive etc

[glacial bane]

Nah I just think blanket statements like "ai is bad" is kinda dumb. AI is a tool. It's software. It can do incredible things if applied right

GenAI however is very stupid

[magic rose]

Thank you for saying this

[radiant lintel]

Nothing has been announced.

[dull torrent]

Sounds real bad, OP. Instead of shovelling money into the hellmouth, just hire some more writers and make a good game instead, imo.

[verbal patrol]

On EVERYONE'S soul we want to hear voice lines in video games no one could be bothered to write or perform 😍

[magic rose]

AI in more video games be one hell of a stupid idea unless the voice actor that stuck behind the AI crap is getting paid

[dull torrent]

I can't wait to be fully immersed in some game by going up to an npc and having it regurgitate reddit posts at me

[wild tapir]

I like the idea that i can just chat with npc that i like without premade dialogue option

[verbal patrol]

LMFAO

[magic rose]

But we already seeing AI being in a lot of video game company job offers for world building especially in activition from what i remember

[dull torrent]

Dang, this npc in Skrelt: Remains Of Dark Dragon really hates the latest Gundam series, that's crazy

[dull torrent]

Why not just do the actually realistic thing and have a small number of dialog responses for stuff an npc would actually want to talk about, and then various flavors of "why are you asking me about this, you freak, stop talking to me and go away" like anyone in their right mind would respond to bad posts with

[mental mango]

All I am seeing all talk

[ember lichen]

DooM The Dark Ages looks to be like a better return to form/modernization of an old IP than Marathon.
It's gonna make so much money.

[wild mesa]

it's hard to compare, Doom has been in it's renaissance era since Doom 2016/Eternal

[ember lichen]

Marathon is just slower Apex with an extraction mechanic.

[wild mesa]

modern Doom devs have had time to perfect their formula

I can't lie tho Dark Ages looks sick af

[magic leaf]

Goodmorning gentlefarts

[pale monolith]

That’s exactly what I want extraction apex not battle royal, I like marathon because it looks and feels like apex but it’s a different type of game mode other that tdm and BR

[magic leaf]

Ts does not feel like apex you guys are tripping

[wild mesa]

from watching, I can see where people get it from, 3 core abilities and trios max squad

[magic rose]

I’m confused where the apex reference coming from ngl

[wild tapir]

Movement feels almost exactly like in Cycle Frontier

[magic rose]

Movement gave off Destiny vibes originally at least when ur jumping

[magic leaf]

yeah, lots of games have that, but comparing a battle royal with freak movement to a slower paced upgrade dependent extraction shooter is kinda like comparing fortnite to stardew valley

[wild mesa]

you aren't wrong that the comparison's are off, but fortnite to stardew is a little exxagerated lol

[abstract berry]

Me playing the next elder scrolls and a guard calls me a chud, uninstall.

[verbal patrol]

Thius game does kind of feel like fortnite to Me

[magic leaf]

Lol, exaggeration to emphasize my point, just a tad of hyperbole

[verbal patrol]

Maybe npcs are a little more likely to kill you in this one though

[magic leaf]

Closest thing we can compare to is the Cycle and destiny, i wouldn’t compare this game to any battle royales or tarkov/arc

[lyric fossil]

are you 5?

[glacial bane]

time and money

[lyric fossil]

Id say its more like roblox

[magic leaf]

Didn’t stop bethesda, or skyrim, its not time and money, its laziness

[magic rose]

Maybe?, they light you up like a Christmas tree that standing inside the Lowe’s garden section in December 😭

[lyric fossil]

the graphics look like a bad minecraft shader

[magic leaf]

all you gotta do is find elevation and crouch spam 💀

[dull torrent]

Good. Use the time and money to do something cool rather than giving it to ai grifters.

[maiden ore]

we’re cooked

[lyric fossil]

Im buying that when it comes out

[maiden ore]

facts🤣🤣

[lyric fossil]

not sure about marathon lol

[magic leaf]

Nobody wants to play deadlock thats skewed HARD

[verbal patrol]

They should add viscous to marathon

[magic rose]

💀 I couldn’t get crouch spam to work for me, yea I’m on the stupid spectrum saying that but I seriously couldn’t get it to work but when I did. I was still a Christmas tree yet the 4ft one you find at dollar store

[lyric fossil]

they should add flying machines known as ARC

[magic leaf]

Tim apple boutta pop a paragraph

[maiden ore]

they gotta fix what’s broke first

[mental mango]

Arc raiders don’t belong here

[glacial bane]

did you read what i replied to. they're asking why not just get voice actors to records hundreds upon thousands of lines for hundreds of npc in a game world. literally nobody has time or money for that. not even bethesda

[lyric fossil]

I heard that the beloved ARC Raiders tech test was actually just 25% of the full game
if thats true then oh boy, marathon is screwed!

[maiden ore]

sorry officer 👮

[glacial bane]

I'm a slow typer, my apologies

[magic leaf]

Ok so on the second map there are raised walkways to get to another building, each side has cover, i just abuse that

[lyric fossil]

Dont listen to that man, he doesnt even have a role!

[mental mango]

You’re good because stirring up a fuel the server is chilling right now

[lyric fossil]

chilling or dying?

[magic rose]

I wish I knew that, I was finding any wall, building down to stupid structure in the middle of dam nowhere to sit behind.

[dull torrent]

"Infinite growth forever" is just as stupid an idea in game dev as it is in business, loo

[magic leaf]

So you’re saying a team of 25 voice actors can’t spend 2 months recording lines for prompts in the game?

[mental mango]

Every one is chatting normally

[wild tapir]

I took warning from mod for less

[maiden ore]

ARC>>Marathon by a clean mile rn

[lyric fossil]

Real

[maiden ore]

i just hope marathon swings back heavy

[lyric fossil]

Theres like no chance for that to happen, but its possibl

they would need to rebuild the whole game

Meanwhile ARC just needs final polish and is good to go

[glacial bane]

hundreds of thousands of lines? no, not possible. even if that was possible, the amount of work after the recording process is immense

[magic leaf]

Bad takes from non alpha players LMAO

[lyric fossil]

Worse takes from alpha players.. oh wait they agree with me

[maiden ore]

i’ve played it, both actually

[lyric fossil]

😂

[magic rose]

Martahon will do just fine. They need to take feedback from this alpha play test and really put in What we wanted

[lyric fossil]

Im sure if Concord had an alpha before release they would also be fine, top of the world in fact

[maiden ore]

prox chat needs to be in the game badly

[magic rose]

Idk concord so

[lyric fossil]

putting the NDA away was a bad decision cause everoyne saw how barebones the game actually is

and the hero shooter aspects... yikes

[magic rose]

As someone who only use prox chat in warzone and but hardly use a mic. It a hit and miss for me but I do agree it should be added for the sake of being grouped with two idiots that wanna scatter themselves all over the place

[magic leaf]

Hundreds of thousands? Nobody is gonna sit there talking to an NPC to even garner 1000 prompts, maybe 50-100 lines per npc that can be interacted with, i think the other guy wants to speak to the npc’s but they need to use AI to achieve what he’s talking about

[lyric fossil]

in ARC Raiders every interaction had a 60% chance there would be proximity chat talk with the other team

[magic rose]

But i believe we should have better voice lines with the ping system 💀 I won’t lie, the ping system fucking shit

[magic rose]

I mean that good, I’m not really planning to play arc so

[glacial bane]

I was talking about the same thing...

[lyric fossil]

You should, its awesome

holy sh*t Tim Apple

[magic rose]

I can’t due to motion sickness of 3rd POV and the graphics

[lyric fossil]

the graphics are amazing

[magic rose]

For me, it so dam nauseating and gives off the grid vibes

[glacial bane]

Arc Raiders had character voice lines which communicated 95% of what was needed when running with two randoms and no mics. If Marathon does the same, it doesn't need voice chat.

[magic leaf]

25 voice actors working 40 hours a week can do about 240,000 lines in 2 months so its possible, as for implementing would take a long ass time i agree with you there

[lyric fossil]

we are talking about a billion dollar studio here
i think they can add a fundemental feature if indie studios can

that being a pvc

[magic leaf]

Yeah u talking about an entirely different genre, you want to play MMO’s

[dull torrent]

I'd rather have a small amount of quality writing and voice acting than a bunch of stolen slop thrown into a blender. c:

[serene wharf]

OPEN BETA NOW

[magic rose]

Thinking about all these games. We forgot bloomstudios or house bloom studios whatever horror movie company dropped a game this year

[lyric fossil]

isnt that what marathon is? stolen slop? like... everything in there is just to follow a trend

[glacial bane]

might very well be possible but how are you gonna justify spending time and money on it to the suits for a novel experience that a single digit percentage of the gamers will dig. therefore AI voice and llm is the better option in this scenario imo

[magic leaf]

Bruv, shit ass takes 💀

[mental mango]

Open beta is USA only

[serene wharf]

good

[lyric fossil]

look at the games reception lmao

[serene wharf]

eu doesnt deserve it

[lyric fossil]

an american using 100% of their brain

[glacial bane]

eu more like ew

[lyric junco]

It’s an alpha 💀💀💀💀

[lyric fossil]

i bet he thinks eu is a country

[serene wharf]

thanks tim apple

[trail tusk]

how did this chat dissolve into this 😭

[serene wharf]

ur dumb eu is a STATE silly goose, dont question my american education 🫢🫢🫢🫢😒😒

[lyric fossil]

allow me to rephrase:
alphas reception lmao

[trail tusk]

NA & EU slander ?!
shocking

[magic leaf]

I agree, but the govt justifies funding an underground city, so i think its ok to justify employing some VA’s aswell, i dont think they should but no matter the development there are always a way to employ, especially under any corporate studio

[glacial bane]

yeah i agree, lets reign it back. lets be professional and considerate chat

[serene wharf]

thanks tim apple

[lyric fossil]

tim apple suck my toes please

[mental mango]

The game play is still in alpha testing mode just waiting for ma to run over twitch

[dull torrent]

I've honestly not paid much attention since I didn't get in the beta, but I'll gladly take human generated slop over algorithmically generated slop any day. I will not thank Tim apple btw

[wraith mango]

Linux?

[magic rose]

Professionalism on discord is asking a daycare room to come to circle time for a story reading

[wild tapir]

Imagine 16th May will be like

[magic rose]

It a love or hate relationship that day

[lyric fossil]

i wasnt arguing on the side of AI, im just saying marathon could very well be an AI generated game already with how it looks

[mental mango]

No word if going able to play on Linux platforms it may be Windows only

[magic leaf]

Yeah but this dude zlomene thinks anyone cares about what hes saying

[mental mango]

We see

[glacial bane]

It should be on Mac. It started on Mac.

[lyric fossil]

so much aura

[magic rose]

I think my landlord fell off the roof 😭 😭

[wraith mango]

Kernel lvl anticheat?

[mental mango]

That is up to bungie

[dull torrent]

Eh, ai slop has a feel to it. Marathon certainly doesn't feel inspired to me (or, perhaps, overly inspired), but it still has that human touch.

[mental mango]

No me I am staying safe I am going to playing on console

[verbal patrol]

It was jusr battleye in the playtest

[edgy moth]

Pretty standard practice 👌

[magic leaf]

Imagine this, microsoft puts out a very early version of windows 10 with only the bare minimum of the os, asks for feedback to see whats good and bad, and then 6 months later releases a full OS with all the bells and whistles, you wouldn’t actually take the early version and shit on it for being barebones, thats literally the damn point 🤦🏼‍♂️

[magic rose]

Battleye kinda a shit but yet good anti cheat but was horrible on unturned

[edgy moth]

Ok, just because one dev implements it badly doesn't mean bungie will

[glacial bane]

windows 10 is 10 years old

[magic leaf]

point being made to mirror marathons alpha to help dumbass over here to gauge the reality

[mental mango]

Windows 10 is outdated as of this year windows 11 started rolling out updates

[glacial bane]

no no I got that, I was just pointing out it was 10 years. carry on 👍

[fallow mural]

its still only available in noth america?

[glacial bane]

isnt it the end of the year

[gaunt solar]

it's not available nowhere rn

[wild tapir]

Sony with Bungie Lead on May 8th:

[mental mango]

Mandatory date ends support for windows10 @ October 14 2025

[fallow mural]

oh nice

[edgy moth]

The closed alpha test is over. Don't think there will be an open beta for Marathon but it's Bungie and they have been known to do this before

[fallow mural]

ok ty so much

[wild tapir]

Hopefully they gonna add some type of compensation system, if you were killed by cheater

[edgy moth]

Have yet to see this in any other game

[wild tapir]

If i remember correctly, in Cycle frontier they even return you items that you have looted in a raid

[mental mango]

Here the results why not Linux because users and easy multi platform applications by using terminal commands to bypass anti cheating codes with I vote Linux unsafe for game development I weather it be windows, battle eye protection

[willow pawn]

Linux is also just... Linux

[mental mango]

Grasping though I am a Linux user but there security issues and concerns for game developers bout miss use game cheating

[willow pawn]

Yeah, I think Linux as a multiplayer platform for games becomes kinda problematic when user systems are so diverse

[mental mango]

But i play on console to access terms of service with games company

Nintendo dogs

Nintendo dogs, LPS and animal crossing new leaf on the 3ds xl was my jam

[sonic iron]

Kinda random but it’d be cool to play the original marathon trilogy on console

[magic leaf]

Maybe, started off in a house, i mainly played speed racer on the ds and watched a lot of flipnote

The first tiktok yo

Yea Nintendo dogs starts off in the house. I know they rebooted it for the switch but I don’t think many even liked it much

I be hyped to play it with my fiance after we finished split fiction together. I want another good co op

[magic leaf]

Try out Returnal

[magic rose]

I modded my 3ds and psp, the battery life on both of them went to shit

[lyric fossil]

id like to play ARC Raiders with my gf once its released

[magic rose]

Is it any good? We started the way out together last month

[midnight rain]

... sry vro

[magic leaf]

I’m gonna get a psp just to mod it haha, i always replace the batteries first, and yeah returnal is great, it’s solo at first then turns co-op online, would need to buy it twice but its amazing, i would say one of the best sci-fi looter shooters to exist

[magic rose]

Not bad, my fiance dying to play marathon with me 😂 he played the alpha at my house. The enjoyment of watching him lose his mind was pure laughter

[magic rose]

I suggest getting the 2000 or 3000 since a lot of mods are supporting those to models then the 1000 fat. I replaced the battery on both even the eBay seller replaced my psp battery. It still having battery issues that I live next to the wall now with it plugged in.
I will look into that game once I moved in with him

[magic leaf]

thanks for the headsup, would it be worth to go for the vita in that case, since it’s backwards compatible?

[lyric fossil]

I want to watch the night sky on night raids with her, very romantic (even with your friends lmao)

in ARC, not sure about night in marathon

[magic rose]

Honestly, yea go to a vita. I know you can get the psp port for it. Sadly I didn’t like the price of most vita on eBay being to high. I suggest going for any Japanese model since the prices are much cheaper

[magic leaf]

I would also love to have the psp phone as a little collectible boi

[magic rose]

Idk if I even saw a night when I had alpha. I saw rain that for sure that felt like ur stuck in the middle of New England area spring month hails of rain

[magic leaf]

I recommend yahoo auctions japan, much much cheaper and more reliable

[lyric fossil]

alpha? bro alpha way way different from the latest tech test

if youre talking about ARC that is

[magic rose]

I’m not talking about arc. I might marathon

[cloud pulsar]

is the alpha still going?

[magic rose]

I don’t think I seen a night. Personally I don’t enjoy when games switch to night. Great example of that is day z on console. Holy shit ur staring at a black hole of death

[magic leaf]

*kidney

[kindred vigil]

Why is it so cheap wow

[magic rose]

Yall acting like arc gonna take over the gaming market 💀 arc and marathon will live side by side

[sullen ridge]

Imma make my kids play my retro games (all the bungie halo campaigns)

[tidal harness]

Yeah, but its not the question of how much work they need to put in. The question is will they do it? And if they do it, how long will it take.

[magic rose]

If I’m correct, I think another organ is much higher on the scale for money then the kidney

[kindred vigil]

these type of gaming discourses will happen all the time it's like when kids have 2 action figures and make up why theirs is better when they're the same plastic

[lyric fossil]

To put it formally, ARC Raiders is looking way more promising than Marathon. Embark actually feels like they care about fun and innovation, while Bungie’s just chasing trends at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if ARC completely steals the spotlight.

[sullen ridge]

Arc may as well be a good game but it won't have bungie tier lore

[magic rose]

I don’t blame you. I want my kids to enjoy the kingdom hearts series, ratchet and clank, frogger, MONKEY BALLLL

[magic rose]

That or the two kids in the daycare having a discourse about who mom made them the best lunch 😭 😭

[lyric fossil]

Embark Studios were the guys behind Battlefield games (older ones like bf1) and we already have some pretty huge lore for ARC Raiders

[kindred vigil]

isn't arc raiders lore just fallout but robot edition or am I tweaking

[barren forge]

bungo really living up to their reputation with the handling of this alpha 🤣

[lyric fossil]

you tweaking

[magic rose]

Embark studios only getting the hype for arc because of being old battlefield devs but also making the finals that making them a decent profit

[sullen ridge]

Ah yes, battlefield lore. Truly the apex of storytelling, told by AI voicelines just like in the finals

[magic leaf]

its hard to say that bungie is on the same level as embark currently, embark is just amazing hands down one of the best if not the best modern game studio, bungies been mishandled for soo long that it takes lawsuits for them to make quality work and thats absolutely sad, otherwise they do have a great game on their hands and if they fumble this I think bungie might die

[minor pawn]

The gunplay feels like pipe guns from fallout 4

[kindred vigil]

it's not that interesting to me it's like yeah apocalypse scenario where robots take over and we have to raid the arcs or something

[lyric fossil]

My theory is that humans were the ones who sent the ARC Machines because they live on a different planet now and make a lot of money trough complete capitalistic corporate hellscape

[wild tapir]

Is anyone remember Advent Rising game? It's a shame that the sequel never materialized.

[sullen ridge]

Nope never heard

All that is in the form of a wall of text. They don't know how to translate that into cutscenes and dialogues. When i'm playing a videogame, i want to play a videogame and not read a book.

[lyric fossil]

Told by AI? my dude never heard of battlefield easter eggs

[fading plank]

how do i get access to marathon if i dont see the channel

[kindred vigil]

Bungie does have to get better at putting lore with gameplay I agree we shouldn't have to read 90% of the good lore if I'm gonna be honest, if you want ur lore to stick you gotta show the good parts

[sullen ridge]

Embark uses AI vocielines for the finals and they will do the same for arc. I do NOT want to listen to that shit

[magic leaf]

Minecraft servers are crying in the corner rn

[magic rose]

Alpha are closed right now

[barren forge]

that's the fun part, you dont!

[fading plank]

ah

[stuck aurora]

spread its legs open for me please

[lyric fossil]

THE FINALS is the most innovative FPS in decades, so i cant give two shits about 2 characters being AI

[minor pawn]

Anyone remember final fantasy avent childern?

[magic rose]

I ain’t touching shit 😭

[sullen ridge]

Idk i played destiny for a decade and halo terminals when i was a kid, i'm alright with that

[stuck aurora]

bro I said please you can't refuse me 😔

[magic leaf]

i agree, the finals saved fps and thats factual

[sullen ridge]

Hasn't played titanfall 2 award

[magic rose]

My hands are going back into my pockets

[lyric fossil]

did, many hours in fact

[wild tapir]

Already said this, but regardless of the outcome - we got finest piece of art in a years

[barren forge]

AI stuff in that game is fine, it's like 50 lines someone would have gotten paid $100 for, lol.

[sullen ridge]

nobody fucking cares about the finals

[stuck aurora]

It's barely noticeable though, the game is a nerves juice

[magic leaf]

dude we talking bout the last decade not 2015

[wild tapir]

Prolly gonna rewatch cinematic for a long time

[lyric fossil]

the guys who voiced the AI were paid in full btw

[stuck aurora]

literally one of the most innovative out there, I get that it's underrated but that's no reason to trash on it

[magic leaf]

They also recieve royalties ma heart

[lyric fossil]

probably because the cinematics look better than the actual game

[tidal harness]

Well, what makes you speak for everyone. There are ppl who play it regularly. Its highly competitive and not everyone's cup of tea

[magic rose]

The finals holding embark together and knowing embark behind arc. Is no wonder arc is getting hype because embark actually listen to what their community wants

[sharp halo]

I care about the finals

[lyric fossil]

embark actually likes their fans

[limpid rover]

yes I do

[magic leaf]

Except for the nerfs here and there, sometimes they do things nobody asked for its funny

[idle rapids]

The finals is the shit

[stuck aurora]

it SHOULD be, it has a little bit for every playstyle out there, people are just missing tf out

[kindred vigil]

where did all these final lurkers come from 😭 that dude spawned the community

[lyric fossil]

thats why i believe ARC Raiders is in very and i mean VERY good hands

[magic rose]

they need to fix light mains 😭 like FIX THE DAM LIGHT MAINS

[sharp halo]

Ykw ima get on the finals rn and get absolutely raw dogged by a heavy with flame thrower and chains

[stuck aurora]

it's crazy underrated dude

[sullen ridge]

Less concurrent players than helldivers 2 and payday 2 is meaty

[lyric fossil]

no way this guy hates on THE FINALS
bro is a clown

[magic leaf]

Hell divers is mainly played by 30-50 year olds 💀

[magic rose]

Better yet. I loved when heavy got the chain hook. Oh boy how many times did I get chain hooked by a random heavy in the middle of power shift 😭

[stuck aurora]

different genre with established fanbase + The Finals is the studio's first game

[sharp halo]

This guy thinks any game will maintain crazy number of people playing after launch

[sullen ridge]

The savior of pvp FPS defeated by coop shooters is crazy

[lyric fossil]

Embark studios was founded by the original DICE team and they know their shit

[sharp halo]

I play helldivers im 21

[magic leaf]

It was a beautiful day when it came out, that range was literally scorpion out of mk

[magic rose]

Isn’t Dice on rainbow?

[stuck aurora]

that's like comparing Destiny 2 playerbase to that of cs2

[sullen ridge]

It's boring and creatively bankrupt

[lyric fossil]

if youre going for playercounts take a look at Marathons alpha

[kindred vigil]

rainbow siege ???😭 Or is this something else

[stuck aurora]

rainbow wokeism!!

[lyric fossil]

quite the opposite lmao

[sullen ridge]

That chinese furry shooter ironically has more innovation in gameplay than the finals

[magic rose]

Yea, I just say rainbow for short. I thought dice was on that development

[sharp halo]

we got rage baited

[dawn gale]

the finals is great embark is awesome

[magic leaf]

Buddy they literally took creativity and capitalized are you sane

[magic rose]

It was a horrible dam day

[stuck aurora]

fr let's move on

[kindred vigil]

I don't remember dice being on siege dev team

[magic rose]

Maybe I did smoke a lot of crack

[stuck aurora]

you're mixing with battlefield/titanfall

[sullen ridge]

If dice was on the siege team siege would have been good

[kindred vigil]

I know what dice is they said didn't dice work on rainbow and I was like huh

[sharp halo]

Thunderlord just rage baited us guys, damn it i fell for it

[magic rose]

So dice is on battlefield?

[lyric fossil]

ah yes, the team that founded itself on creativity and developer freedom is creatively bankrupt LMAO

[light ocean]

hii

[tidal harness]

DICE never worked on titanfall. That is Respawn. It seems all of u are on something here

[light ocean]

are you people still doing ragebait olympics

[lyric fossil]

yall high af

[sharp halo]

No DICE is making a new extraction shooter (misinfo ormation)

[sullen ridge]

The creativity to kill the gaming industry by legitimizing AI voicelines

[stuck aurora]

yes

[magic rose]

I’m so confused 😭

[light ocean]

omgg who is winning

[magic leaf]

Dice made bf, then they took devs from dice to embark, thats why the finals looks so good

[tidal harness]

They are working on BF 6

[stuck aurora]

you

[lyric fossil]

the original DICE left and made a new studio called Embark, they made THE FINALS and are now working on ARC Raiders while making rich updates for THE FINALS

[magic rose]

Now this make more sense to me

[sharp halo]

Actually EA is all hands on deck for Madden2026

[magic rose]

But isn’t Dice logo also shown on apex?

[sullen ridge]

I'm so mad i still haven't gotten in that playtest

[kindred vigil]

Dice is battlefield + battlefront + mirror edge they're making a new bf

[stuck aurora]

why do people still play madden

[sullen ridge]

They're too fat to play real american football

[sharp halo]

Why do people still play cod? We hate ourselfs

[lyric fossil]

the original DICE left and made a new studio called Embark, they made THE FINALS and are now working on ARC Raiders while making rich updates for THE FINALS

[magic leaf]

“AND THE OVERDOGS HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT! THEY’RE GONNA NEED A POWER PLAY TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT ROUND!”

[stuck aurora]

speak for yourself hb i haven't touched a cod since bo3 😭

[magic solstice]

I’m playing the finals rn

[magic rose]

Me playing 10hr of warzone yesterday to hate myself and get Seth rogan

[dawn gale]

ah yes the game that i can preorder for $100 and the only things on the store page are... pictures of helmets and... the color white?

[sharp halo]

I only buy the MW cods

[lyric fossil]

ARC Raiders will be incredible, I heard that the tech test was only 25% of the full game and THAT 25% WAS AWESOME

[magic leaf]

Yeah if you dont like them you are hating to hate, they are so damn amazing

[sullen ridge]

claims the finals has big updates
the game has five maps

Chat...

[lyric fossil]

appearently the number of maps equals the actual content LMAO

[stuck aurora]

shhh, we don't talk about arc here, it scares the glazers

[magic rose]

Because it has big updates 😭

[magic solstice]

The finals 5 maps each have 3 variants

[sullen ridge]

In a pvp game yes we do

[kindred vigil]

I'm reminded why I stood away from the gaming community for a long time

[magic rose]

Season 6 is bringing up a new map for deathmatch

[lyric fossil]

forgot that they all have 3 variants and are fully destructible

just say youre mentally deranged bro its over for ya

[magic rose]

And power shift is finally going on las vagas too

[sharp halo]

In game events that change the course of the match so they dont feel the same

[stuck aurora]

/votekick @sullen ridge

[lyric fossil]

youre losing your own ragebait here 😂

[magic solstice]

You’re so unintelligent if you don’t like the finals

[magic rose]

Its just shit m8

[magic leaf]

The maps are so beautiful, bros grasping at straws only to find out we like the finals 😭

[sharp halo]

Lets not kick thunderlord, he's onto something idk what it is but on something

[magic solstice]

Only people who don’t like the finals are bad at the game

[sullen ridge]

Wow destructible environments definitely something that doesn't make pvp an insufferable slog

[barren forge]

War Thunder > BF

[tight vessel]

Same with apex

[kindred vigil]

war thunder ???😭😭

[magic rose]

Even fortnite is better

[stuck aurora]

we together on this hill

[magic rose]

Season 2 of the finals with vapor wave aesthetic was their best season till this day

[sharp halo]

Dude just say you suck at the game and couldnt get a grasp on it, we get it 😭🙏

[sullen ridge]

You cannot say that how much did the snail pay you

[magic solstice]

I used to love apex, got burnt on it years ago tho and haven’t played since

[lyric fossil]

THE FINALS is the best FPS game out there atm

[sullen ridge]

I never even played it because i don't support AI in games

[frank cove]

[magic leaf]

ok apex is old and outdated, devs also can’t do shit because of corporate, used to be great but now it’s lost to bad handling

[sharp halo]

Wrong it's actually destiny 2

[magic rose]

Ur shit at it🤡

[lyric fossil]

no comment, somebody pin that shot

[wild tapir]

Almost forgot that Gaijin also making their own Extraction shooter, STALKER/Tarkov like

[magic rose]

Downgrade ahh game

[kindred vigil]

you just extended this goofy argument by 5hrs

[magic solstice]

If you aren’t dropping 15-20 kills in a quick match and you also say you don’t like the finals then your opinion means nothing

[lyric fossil]

hall of shame

[magic rose]

I had the same problem after seer or horizon season

[sharp halo]

I feel you king

[magic rose]

Have u ever heard of a life?

[stuck aurora]

Hall of shame²

[wild tapir]

Orc Massage 😢

[scenic meteor]

Your tripping dawg

[sullen ridge]

Apex died in season 10 when they gave up on the game being a battle royale. First they added seer to make ratting impossible (he was broken at launch by design), then they started breaking down and opening POIs to make it easier for octane mains to jump in and kill squads who wanted to play more conservatively

[stuck aurora]

the what

[magic leaf]

“THE FINALS IS SHIT, ITS SHIT BC AI VOICE AND 5 MAP, DESTRUCTION BAD CUZ IDK CUZ BAD 4 PVP”

[sharp halo]

The image didnr send

[lyric fossil]

Ah yes, the classic “I can’t adapt so the game must be bad” take. Destructible environments expose weak positioning and force actual decision-making—sorry it’s not built for corner-campers with Thunderlord fantasies. Stay in your lane.

[magic solstice]

I’m pretty sure I was getting close to 1k wins by the time I quit

[magic rose]

Apex got worst with their new season since the character designer for their new character just got laid off not even a day after it was shown 💀

[sharp halo]

Hall of shame 3

[kindred vigil]

LIGHT MODE?

[magic rose]

Nahhh, Light mode

[wild tapir]

LIGHT MODE

[magic rose]

Well done! What a great use of your time!

Someone hall of shame that one 😂

[sharp halo]

Whats wrong with light mode?

[kindred vigil]

ur eyes

[magic leaf]

Yeah thats actually incredibly shallow of them, apex is sadly drowning and the only thing giving them air are the players

[sullen ridge]

Course you like the finals, your retinas have been burned by discord light mode

[scenic meteor]

U needa be locked up for using lightmode

[magic solstice]

Yeah I have a job, big house, 2 nice cars, 2 dogs and a girlfriend. Will also kick your ass in the finals

[kindred vigil]

itd be so funny if arc raiders and marathon collabed

[dawn gale]

first time i've seen someone use light mode just because. normally that's like war crime levels of torture

[lyric fossil]

Maybe squinting through your tactical FPS grayscale UI is why you can’t see innovation when it hits you through a collapsing wall.

[magic rose]

THEY HAD A 500 DOLLAR EVENT IM SORRY, WHO tf gonna drop that for some what? Extra skins and heirlooms? Hell nah (I can’t speak I dropped almost 2k worth of shit in cod points on Cold War)

[lyric fossil]

hell yeah

[sullen ridge]

Bro spent 2k on cp...

[sharp halo]

Cold War 💔

[magic leaf]

ok coldwar was gas, overhated and underappreciated, zombies scared the shit outta me

[magic leaf]

dude we got fishing games now tho

[sullen ridge]

Tf happened to that even

[kindred vigil]

But Roblox wasn't that bad until COVID hit, I mean, it was getting bad, but not this bad

Some day it died around 2018

[sharp halo]

There's like 5 games i play that are good

[magic rose]

Where? I see a bunch of adults being ass hats

[magic rose]

I wanna say 2 years ago? He posted on steam about it even though he was releasing all the new gun gameplay, character movement, then he drop the whole “I need to focus on family, getting death threats” speech and ended it with he not gonna continue making it

[magic leaf]

2019 was the last year it was cool to play on the low before covid hit, when it did hit and the kids became homeschooled I kinda checked out, now we’re grown and theres lots of unemployed adults killing time on the servers

[sullen ridge]

Wtf

Poor blastard

[sharp halo]

Unemployed in 2025 is crazy

[magic rose]

But he wanted to continue working on the first unturned tho which confused me but i understand

[sharp halo]

You just gotta open up a feetfinder account and sell

[sullen ridge]

Does he have people to help him or is he full solo

[lyric fossil]

feet 😩

[magic rose]

Honestly no idea. I wanna assume he has a team

[magic leaf]

2025 man, its actually not alot of job seekers faults, nearly every state is having a crisis, people want to work but nowhere wants to hire, and they keep job postings up for months and months

[lyric fossil]

you did what?

[sharp halo]

Duuh you need a masters degree to work at mcdonalds dummy, jeez

[scenic meteor]

You didn’t have pretty enough feet

[magic rose]
