[twin pulsar]

Only certain extremist views are respected. Depending on what circles. Very polarised.

[ember warren]

MY SAVE WAS ON NORTHSTAR FUCK, all good tho ill still win

[leaden solstice]

Once again: That's your account trying to tell you something.

[proud glade]

maybe if you admit you're a furry you'll be better at whatever game you're talking about idk

[pallid shoal]

like bloodborne 🥲

[ember warren]

i just wont look as cool when i win

[magic rose]

these days someone can have the most putrid take and there will be at least 500 people nodding to it
we've shifted too far

[leaden solstice]

Whatever makes you feel better bro.\

[plain thunder]

croc is just upset he lacks the critical thought and basic comprehension to form his own opinions, so he takes it out on those he views as "bothsiders"

[kindred vigil]

Guys I'm on the phone with Sony what sequel or remake you want

[twin pulsar]

I have no clue why they are holding back from making a remastered version of that title to run higher fps and resolution for a PC release. Would sell like pancakes depending on a good window

[calm cradle]

Little Big Planet 🥺

[magic rose]

fence sitting is actually reductive and accomplishes nothing

[kindred vigil]

Sorry they said no

[twin pulsar]

Legend of the Dragoon, Jak & Dax, Infamous

[proud glade]

bloodborne

[honest vortex]

My favorite vid from this is the gigantic cardboard-and-plywood machine someone made that plays Conway's Game of Life at like 4spf. XD

[leaden solstice]

Wait, @ember warren, are you on Northstar or the official servers rn?

[kindred vigil]

bro you made them hang up what the H!!!

[manic seal]

I got plenty of leftist opinions I'm quite comfortable with.

Centrists literally open up the window for fascism to fly in and roost.

[plain thunder]

I never said anything about fence sitting, just forming your own opinions. We got another one guys

[mint current]

Marathon General Chat

[ember warren]

official, but i gotta add you on ea app 💔

[kindred vigil]

4chan

[leaden solstice]

WE ALL hate EA.

[topaz comet]

bloodborne stats are weird. arcane was useless for a chunk of the game

[kindred vigil]

I love ea my father owns it

[ember warren]

what yo name on ea app, you can dm, YOU CAN SEARCH FOR EA FRIEND BY REAL NAME WTFF

[twin pulsar]

Increased Item discovery, that was good enough for me

[leaden solstice]

wddwclkj

[kindred vigil]

Found ur ea by typing Charles James wtf!!!

[twin pulsar]

Especially with how bloodvials needed to be farmed in that game

[warped hill]

When's the new live stream

[ember warren]

like thats your name, crazy work

[leaden solstice]

I made this account off hand, sue me.

[ember warren]

if you beat me badly i just might, assault type shit

[olive matrix]

Probably 2 weeks-ish when they have had time to cleanup the art, and rerecord the stuff they want to show off

[warped hill]

aight

[primal flicker]

That's pretty crazy

[kindred vigil]

Sounds polish

[leaden solstice]

I invited you, join up.

[magic rose]

oh yeah ea killed origin and replaced it with the even worse "EA App"

[ember warren]

attrition 💔

[lilac glade]

• debates on how good marathon will be for months
• load up expedition 33 without knowing anything about it
• instantly know it's peak

[kindred vigil]

ok

[leaden solstice]

It should be Titan Brawl???

[magic rose]

e33 peak

[wintry isle]

🗣️

[twin pulsar]

That game is indeed amazing, especially on its hardest difficulty

[ember warren]

why is there 3 of you you better not jump me

[leaden solstice]

You ain't even in the lobby bro.

[topaz comet]

im so bad at expedition 33. shit is harder than darksouls

[magic rose]

bro cant parry

[sonic iron]

Not really

[ember warren]

some random invited me name owenbeh then wtf

[minor compass]

Meow check

[leaden solstice]

That's not me 😭

[magic rose]

how much has been the Marathon budget?
because it feels like they've blown a lot on ||cars|| things that dont really matter and it is still launching with bare minimum content

[ember warren]

thats crazy timing

[sonic iron]

You can quite literally 1shot the secret super boss

[leaden solstice]

Does wddwclkj look like Owenbeh??

Scorch mains smh my head.

[ember warren]

idk your ea app name could be diff from ingame idk

[kindred vigil]

how do u even pronounce that

[leaden solstice]

No, it's the same.

[twin pulsar]

That is a genuine issue.

[wintry isle]

Many many millions

[ember warren]

START IT

big win inbound 💯

[topaz comet]

anyone remember fairgame$ ?

[kindred vigil]

yeah they haven't said shit about it since 2023

[ember crater]

I dont want to

[kindred vigil]

I read that it's internally delayed

[ember crater]

Imagine that game coming out and not being tone deaf

[topaz comet]

I think the drector got fired

[kindred vigil]

will fairgame$ be on other consoles

[topaz comet]

Sony is taking a lot of Ls this gen but are still winning

[kindred vigil]

nvm, PS5 PC only

[twin pulsar]

Because they lack any form of competition

[pallid shoal]

no official word. we can compare it to similar games with similar dev histories like concord or ss:ktjl and assume it's similar.

[wintry isle]

Sony broke Microsoft is worth trillions 🤓

[sonic iron]

The devs claim it's intended, kept it in so you can feel op or something, I think it's dumb

[topaz comet]

xbox sabotaged themselves making the Series S and publishing woke garbage. killed halo as well

[magic rose]

three (four post-launch) maps
no pve mode or singleplayer
limited enemy selection
five runners
no solo balance (better defrost your two clones)

maybe im just nostalgic but if adjusting for inflation we used to get more bang for buck with a purchase

[topaz comet]

microsoft**

[misty warren]

Yeah they need to drop the 2 console thing

[sonic iron]

yall don't use woke properly nowadays

[wintry isle]

And sony doesn't do woke?

[topaz comet]

south of midnight

[ember crater]

I woke up this morning

[wintry isle]

Have you forgotten concord

[twin pulsar]

Their biggest problem was not delivering Quality. Even vehemently opinionated people care less about their values when they are entertained.

[topaz comet]

they do but they also have cool exclusives like Returnal

[wintry isle]

Sony has taken huge L this gen

[sonic iron]

Woke is intended to be good but yall turned it into something that seems offending 😂

[magic rose]

sony has been a travesty this gen

[wintry isle]

🗣️

[kindred vigil]

What's woke about Microsoft I don't get it

[honest vortex]

'Woke' is a thing that fascists say when they mean 'a thing I am personally upset by'.

[topaz comet]

Microsoft Game Studios

[kindred vigil]

...??

[pallid shoal]

didn't they sell tens of millions of the ps5?

[topaz comet]

look at what theyve published this generation

[ember crater]

Im sure some brainlet thinks Xbox's disability focused controllers are woke (im not saying it makes sense)

[magic rose]

using the term fascist unironically to describe people 🤡

[wintry isle]

Concord is a 400 million failure

[magic rose]

no way it was actually 400 million

[wintry isle]

Stop being a clown

[pallid shoal]

what more or equally accurate word would you use

[topaz comet]

Concord/fairgame$/ and maybe marathon

[wintry isle]

It was look it up

[wintry isle]

Bungie is a 3.6 billion loss

[topaz comet]

destiny 2 tho??

[wintry isle]

They over paid

[kindred vigil]

hifirush, redfall, starfield....avowed, south of midnight, flight sim, hellbade 2, grounded, halo infinite ❓....

[topaz comet]

🤮

[kindred vigil]

I get they're not the best but what's woke

[pallid shoal]

likely more, even

[magic rose]

"fascist" or "n**i" is a thing morons say when someone doesn't agree with their stupid takes and bad opinions

[wintry isle]

Yes which has a ageing population and its in a meh state

[manic seal]

those in glass houses (posting a bunch of absolutely worthless speculation about the activities of corpos) shouldn't throw stones (clown)

[sonic iron]

How could you forget psychonauts 2

[kindred vigil]

my bad slime

[topaz comet]

south of midnight starfield and hellblade

[magic rose]

what even happened to that blade game?

[deep rover]

Bro's really putting HiFiRush with Redfall and Starfield

[wintry isle]

Redfall should be a crime

[pallid shoal]

guys did you know sometimes investments fail

[ember warren]

guys soluhs the goat what can i say

[wintry isle]

No because Microsoft knew not to buy bungie

[topaz comet]

pyschonauts 2 was actually cool ngl

[magic rose]

there was a blade game wasnt there?
i didnt imagine it

[sonic iron]

It was

[pallid shoal]

psychonauts 2 was great

[sonic iron]

I wish it had hdr

[ember warren]

@leaden solstice you are the goat, i wont admit ronin is better but you were def a better pilot, gg

[kindred vigil]

How are they woke

[primal flicker]

They did once. But that was back when they were actually a solid investment

[magic rose]

there was also an indiana jones game
but everyone forgot about it

[leaden solstice]

THAT'S RIGHT.

[ember warren]

because the games good

[topaz comet]

was it even an exclusive for shitbox? i cant remember

[leaden solstice]

Wait fuck you, Ronin is better.

[kindred vigil]

uhhh idk if starfield is good let's slow down slime @ember warren

[sonic iron]

It wasn't exclusive

[twin pulsar]

Hell blade is excellent. Too bad they simplified the combat in the sequel

[sonic iron]

It launched on ps at same time

[ember warren]

nope you said thtas right no take backs 🙂

[topaz comet]

im not having this debate you definitely have an idea of why i think theyre woke

[magic rose]

the first game did not have complex combat, wtf are you on about

[ember warren]

nah but a better scorch wouldve done better i just suck (im coping that shotgun is fuckin nuts)

[magic rose]

literally just timed simon says, always has been

[topaz comet]

hellblade should have been an amimated short film or something

[twin pulsar]

Yes, I thought they would grow from that point

[misty warren]

"They are this thing, no i will not elaborate my point, you should read my mind!" Be fr man

[sonic iron]

The first game had barely any combat, hellblade isn't intended to be fight oriented

[leaden solstice]

Yes (Ronins who dive with swords are idiots.)

[twin pulsar]

They made even simpler

[ember warren]

ive only faced those so thats what i expected and as scorch i just sit in my fire and melt them

[kindred vigil]

I thought hell blade was a graphical showcase game I'm ngl

[still oasis]

is this game still coming out

[magic rose]

yes

[ember warren]

yeah im working on it dw

[leaden solstice]

Trust me, it shows. You got better about area denial over time, but not nearly enough to take me out.

[topaz comet]

im tired boss

[honest vortex]

Look who's fuckin' talkin'.

[misty warren]

Employee mindset 🔥

[ember warren]

also the game is unbelievably loud because my audio settings wouldnt save ;-; im deaf now

[pallid shoal]

i think it's worth specifying whether you mean "loaded with 'hello fellow kids' cynical tokenism" or "it's not a bald dude so i can't self insert"

[leaden solstice]

Ouch.

[leaden solstice]

Wait, what happened? What'd I miss?

[ember warren]

very fun tho im def gonna get back into it, might reinstall the nightforce or whatever the mod was called

[leaden solstice]

Northstar?

[ember warren]

yeah that, im broke asf on that account

[proud glade]

this server is draining me of my life energy

[honest vortex]

I said 'woke' is something fascists call things they personally dislike, ads told me to stop being a clown. Standard shit from that sort.

[ember warren]

stop looking at general you fool

[leaden solstice]

You wanna know what would fix that?

[manic seal]

Nothing really, typical flyby g*mer bigotry

[proud glade]

bees

[ember warren]

beekeeper carpit

[topaz comet]

i wonder how much Bungie pays their janitors

[kindred vigil]

They pay me 5$

[leaden solstice]

Ah, I see. Methinks they might have a red hat lying around somewhere...

[ember warren]

i get 2.45 an hour to type in here

[proud glade]

you guys are getting paid?

[honest vortex]

That'd make sense to me. One cannot bash a fash through the Internet, so it makes little difference.

[primal flicker]

Leave Red Hat Enterprise Linux out of this

[ember warren]

heh broke ass /j (DONT BAN ME)

[topaz comet]

people were getting paid to play the alpha

[pallid shoal]

hey who else got their soros checks today 🤑

[proud glade]

suros regime

[kindred vigil]

What's soros

[honest vortex]

Uuuuuuuuuugh I fuckin' hate RHEL too, but for completely different reasons. That shit (and CentOS) gave me SO many problems.

[desert sparrow]

You are 30+ years old

[pallid shoal]

i'm gonna buy so many sex changes

[leaden solstice]

True. You gotta ||kill|| bash them IRL.

[manic seal]

A spell that shadow runners use to strangle you through the internet

[honest vortex]

I am forty years old.

[topaz comet]

lol

[ember warren]

damn fr?

[leaden solstice]

Technically not wrong.

[desert sparrow]

Damn I was off

[topaz comet]

lol

[proud glade]

[honest vortex]

From late 1984. Not unlike you, I imagine.

(considering the handle)

[kindred vigil]

how was the dinosaurs

[ember crater]

Huge im no longer unc, go

[leaden solstice]

Koshi guessed 30+, Marla confirmed 40. So, technically not wrong.

[ember warren]

how was jurrasic park was it as scary as it was in the movies

[desert sparrow]

No I am a newgen

[magic rose]

calling someone "fascist" is the same as calling someone "woke" but backwards
dont be a tool

[topaz comet]

not many Marlas on this planet

[leaden solstice]

Not nearly the same, don't be dumb.

[honest vortex]

I was talking to Charles84 :)

[topaz comet]

rare name

[manic seal]

No

[ember warren]

oh my name is just bs, my name isnt even charles i just think the user name is funny,

[magic rose]

"fascist" is when I dont like what someone says

[proud glade]

can we all just be jolly please

[desert sparrow]

No calling someone "woke" but backwards would actually be "ekow"

[honest vortex]

Incorrect. Calling someone 'fascist' because they are actively espousing and supporting fascist ideals is just basically accurate; I can define a lot of those things, but folks who talk about 'woke' don't usually have any capacity to enumerate their actual complaints.

[leaden solstice]

Too late, you're Unc now.

[proud glade]

after all christmas is tomorrow

[kindred vigil]

NO WAY

[topaz comet]

support the game then

[leaden solstice]

[ember crater]

Yeah pretty much

[topaz comet]

[magic rose]

well democrats or republicans both demonstrated incredible fascist behavior over the years
so have fun with that

[quartz abyss]

[kindred vigil]

[leaden solstice]

That's my fault gang 😥 I mentioned my love for the fuzz (furry huzz) and it was all donwhill from there.

[heady ether]

Might as well ban me

[ember warren]

EB games goated

[heady ether]

I know they can read this

[void kayak]

just want to say, I want this game to succeed I love its style and world. just putting this out to the universe

[quartz abyss]

barnes and noble

[wet herald]

right there with ya bro

[heady ether]

I want it to succeed too

But unfortunately the best course of action is of it is delayed so they can smooth things over and deliver the high octane game we want from them

[wet herald]

fully customizable mandalorians in fortnite tonight.... they have my attention

[quartz abyss]

[gleaming sundial]

I remember when EB Games was called Electronics Boutique.

[honest vortex]

-Gross-. Prohibition is a bad idea that never works.

[clever cobalt]

is this game still releasing?

[wet herald]

No word since the fiasco. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[primal flicker]

Probably, but releasing won't save it.

[clever cobalt]

lol

bungie is so cooked

[misty warren]

they're burnt at this point

[gleaming sundial]

They are edging us until September then we’re all going to release all over.

[clear sequoia]

I'm willing to bet it does release. I think by the time launch rolls around it won't be such a big deal. But who tf knows.

[clever cobalt]

wasted destiny 3 for some stolen art ahh game

[robust junco]

It's done, they're going to release it probably

[clear sequoia]

I just want to play it. I don't care how good it does. Unless it deserves it.

[clever cobalt]

management is so ass it’s crazy to me how they will never realize players liking the game is more important than money

[clear sequoia]

It's sad but that's how it is across several creative industries. It's not good unless money says so.

[versed acorn]

Yeah marathons cooked isn’t it.

[primal flicker]

There is something very poetic about the fact that Marathon is the game that initially put Bungie on the map, and it's likely going to be the game that kills them

[versed acorn]

Deep fried, charred taken out back, then shot and burnt in a trash heap

[clear sequoia]

Tbh it feels like a side project. I think they just put it out and see if it grows legs. The work is mostly done.

[meager leaf]

Arc release date confirmed before MARATHONG finds the art thief

https://x.com/roosterscrappy/status/1925634087307366744?s=46&t=lEJjHOIsA-XoN0PEtJOpdQ

[clear sequoia]

Also I'd say Halo put them on the map. Then the masses learned about Marathon.

[primal flicker]

The original marathon games were pretty much the coolest game on MacOS in the mid 90s, they sold several hundred thousand copies. You could say marathon put them on the map, and then Halo put them at the center of the galaxy

[clever cobalt]

i don’t think even if marathon was good it would’ve even come close to a destiny 3

[wide slate]

this game is cooked

[obsidian plover]

[clever cobalt]

yeah we really lost destiny 3 for this hot shit

[worthy swan]

lol server onboarding still says to generate a DAC

[crystal mural]

i think the worst thing for them right now is to just say nothing honestly, we need a new face to restart the conversation

[worthy swan]

they gotta update that, channel isnt even live anymore

[clever cobalt]

they need to just cut their losses and work on d3

[crystal mural]

i never understood this sentiment, they are still adding to destiny 2 haha

[clever cobalt]

destiny 2 has been milked dry imo

we needed a refresh bad

[worthy swan]

hard to disagree

[crystal mural]

why do you think its been milked dry?

[clever cobalt]

i don’t even think destiny 2 continuing after the final shape even makes sense

[scenic meteor]

wtf is EB games

[misty warren]

aint no way

[clever cobalt]

it’s been so many years on the same engine with the same limitations when there is much better nowadays

[old oasis]

Hell yeah

[crystal mural]

whats better than destiny 2 atm?

[clear sequoia]

WARFACE

[clever cobalt]

i’m just tryna say like this game was not the move

[crystal mural]

6/10 xbox 360 game ?

[clear sequoia]

Feels 100% like a one-off side project. Not any sort of replacement for Destiny imo

[clear sequoia]

It's poop.

[clever cobalt]

yeah but this is also where a lot of the money went and they scrapped d3 ideas for this

[crystal mural]

im trying to understand why you are saying that? i dont see how marathon kills a destiny 3? have they said anything about it that i have missed? arent they different teams internally?

[clever cobalt]

i think the decline in quality was definitely noticeable in destiny during the development of the game

[crystal mural]

yeah that was my understanding too, this wasnt even going go be a full price title, that says to me this was like an experiment to get a pvp audience back

[little grotto]

You say this when marathon was in active development before the witch queen or tfs

[crystal mural]

yeah, its been whilst destiny 2 was at its peak?

[little grotto]

Well yes but d2 was at it's peak during lightfall so let's not talk about that

[crystal mural]

i thought that was at its worst?

[little grotto]

Point being you lost d3 for another reason not cause they had another team work for another game

[clever cobalt]

money money money

[little grotto]

Well not if we consider playercount

[crystal mural]

oh ok

i think we will get destiny 3 eventually

[little grotto]

The most likely reason bungie fell through with d3 and other incubation projects it worked on is because that company is a fucking money black hole

[crystal mural]

looks like the ip might expand a bit too with destiny:rising

[misty warren]

well they already said thats like an alternate universe

[little grotto]

Boy i love mobile games

[crystal mural]

oh was destiny 3 confirmed and then shelved? i didnt know

[little grotto]

"Probably maybe kinda"

[crystal mural]

i think thats for the best anyway

still looks good tho (for a mobile gacha game)

[clever cobalt]

i mean realistically i think this game is pretty cooked at this point

[hushed raptor]

art raider

[amber zenith]

I remember hearing a rumor that the bungie C suite are just trying to make ends meet until next year when they can leave with their last round of bonuses post sony acquisition, does anyone know if thats correct/was said sourced properly somewhere?

[pearl mica]

Bungie should just Cancel Marathon it’s going destroy them even more

[crystal mural]

im pretty convinced the Marathon hate is mostly just grifters and the grifted

[pearl mica]

They should just carry on with Destiny

[main prism]

what's up freaks good afternoon

[main prism]

they are lol

[abstract void]

So is marathon cooked?

[amber zenith]

I wish it was, after the antireal stuff I lost all hope lmao

[pearl mica]

At this point yes it is

[main prism]

what happened there

[crystal mural]

when the alpha finished a bunch of people who actually got to play flooded into this chat, and they all had pretty encouraging things to say about the game. that was all i needed to want to see how this project comes to fruition

[amber zenith]

Basically the whole aethstetic of the game is plagarised and many assets were lifted (not hypothetical, like pixel for pixel)

[topaz comet]

yep

[pearl mica]

Bungie can’t come back from this, it’s impossible to come back from stealing art

[abstract void]

They could honestly just pay the artist out the nose for this but y'know

[main prism]

oh yeah i saw that is antireal the artist?

[amber zenith]

and they blamed a 'former employee who has since left' for like the 4th time in as many years for something similar

[topaz comet]

its some lame ass decals. they'll get them scrubbed out

[pearl mica]

But they won’t and I don’t know why

[amber zenith]

Yea antireal is the artist, hope she gets a fat check

[main prism]

easy copout answer

[crystal mural]

i dont care that much about a single decal in the game, bungie should just pay her and thats that, i dont see that issue really having anything to do with the game itself

[abstract void]

Like legit money talks

[main prism]

real we riot if it ain't over a mil

[amber zenith]

I do not want to play a game built on stolen labor :)

[fringe ether]

Actually I think it's the 1st time, the other 4 were an outsourced studio excuse

[main prism]

a single decal is massive understatement of what's actually stolen

[magic rose]

Bungie’s Art Director should just delay Marathon and copy Arc Raiders art design since he already got away with stealing artwork.

[topaz comet]

its a bunch of decals that you can literally replace with anything

[primal flicker]

The main concerning factor about the game / gameplay itself would be that the vast majority of players invited to the alpha did not play for more than 3 days even though it was both free and time limited. Player retention was pretty much the worst case scenario

[amber zenith]

Have you ever made a game. Fuckin lmao

[main prism]

they should just copy paste ARC Raiders and call it ART Raiders

[main prism]

feelsdumbman

[pearl mica]

I was defending Bungie the other day but I saw sense and I think you should to

[topaz comet]

she'll get paid (probably not as much as you all think) and life goes on

[magic rose]

Marathon world feels empty and lifeless so dropping PvE was the smartest thing they’ve done. Why fake depth when the game has none?

[amber zenith]

I do feel like part of it is if you got in its a coinflip if your friends did to, and this genre requires friends

[crystal mural]

yeah, thats definitely a factor. I personally assume its because it was so small a slice of the game well there just wasnt much "to it" which hopefully can be addressed before release

[main prism]

yes thats the whole point pay the artists fair wages for art that was utilized. at this point antireal should get royalties from the game itself

[clear sequoia]

This is an unpopular opinion but it's 100% facts.

[main prism]

bot

[misty warren]

literally nobody thinks they cant be replaced

[clear sequoia]

Either do that or cancel the game I guess.

[clever cobalt]

i used to be beyond hyped for the game until this shit

[crystal mural]

hey man your making the chat kind of degen by calling people bots, chill out we all just chatting here

[clear sequoia]

Well that's refreshing asf to hear.

[magic rose]

Marathon feels so much like a soulless crypto cashgrab that if they didn’t mention Bungie was making it, I’d think it was just another rushed scam from clueless devs with zero talent who don’t know what a real game is.

[main prism]

when is gen chat not degen bro lmfao

[crystal mural]

when the kids go to bed

[misty warren]

not a single person has said they can't change the asset lmao, they're upset that they were stolen without crediting or compensating the artist, moron

[main prism]

a real game is monopoly

[clear sequoia]

I think a lot of people expect Bungie to delete the game.

[main prism]

we don't even have kids

[topaz comet]

guess what. shes getting paid.

[misty warren]

crypto cash grab? bait used to be believable

[crystal mural]

her 3rd accusation finally paid off, what a precedent

[misty warren]

source? they said they would but nothing yet, and they are supposed to pay BEFORE using the assets lmao

[main prism]

ah yes lets make this game and make our budget pete's crypto wallet

[main prism]

bro is just saying shit lol

[final peak]

Wait until you figure out what wage labor is.

[clever cobalt]

bungie hasn’t had the best track record and this definitely doesn’t look good for them

[strong sequoia]

damn i remember how i got banned from this server for calling a bungie employee a DEI hire. wonder if it was the same employee who copied all those assets

[magic rose]

As they should

[misty warren]

being compensated for labour? whats wrong with that

[topaz comet]

depends on if she got good advice from someone or not. i heard something about her not wanting to go through all the trouble of a court case

[ornate quest]

I'm not excited anymore

[main prism]

ok DEI has nothing to do with that

[strong sequoia]

i meaaaan

[clear sequoia]

I've said this before buuuuuuut It’s common in several creative industries to use assets you don’t own in mock-ups and early builds. This is referred to as FPO.

[crystal mural]

why are you all here if you want the game to die

[amber zenith]

Dog I'm a red blooded [[redacted]] but I can't not participate in capitalism unfortunatly

[misty warren]

no she couldnt afford a court case, yet any lawyer would jump on this, its such an easy case to win

[strong sequoia]

if they were copying someone elses art, yeah it does?

[final peak]

Always less than the value of the labor, else the capitalist would make no profit.

[clever cobalt]

i mean they’d basically have to create a whole new core identity for the game if they want to release it

[topaz comet]

thats on her i guess

[main prism]

you said they were a DEI hire. no one else is claiming that.

[verbal trench]

https://tenor.com/view/pfft-no-thanks-get-out-of-here-get-outta-here-whatever-gif-5880797220710125928

[clever cobalt]

i don’t want it to but it feels as if there’s no other path from here

[misty warren]

the "value" of the labour is entirely arbitrary and is set by the one offering the position to be negotiated by someone wishing to fill it

[main prism]

clown ass response

[strong sequoia]

i'm claiming that :3

[devout nimbus]

bungie should have kept the art and just payed the artist lol. they're going to lose so much money off of this scandal that could have been entirely avoided if they just cut antireal a check and said "there. the artist has been payed"

[random maple]

anti

[crystal mural]

i mean its pretty much known at this point she didnt invent that art style, cross's work outdates hers by about 10 years

[clear sequoia]

She's getting paid plus exposure for somebody else's f-up

[random maple]

real

[main prism]

you're just saying shit that ain't true lmfao ok buddy

[topaz comet]

She could easily reach out online and im sure some lawyer would take her case

[clever cobalt]

yeah but her interpretations were 1 to 1 copied

[clear sequoia]

If I were her, I'd want my stuff in the game.

[still oasis]

yah it'd be a layup for someone working on contingency

[main prism]

bot ass thought lmfaoo

[misty warren]

theres a difference between an art style and the art itself, they literally copy and pasted her assets

[still oasis]

nine assets? that'll be $50k each, lawyer keeps 50% of the haul 🤝

[cerulean breach]

Okay but they were stolen without her knowledge chief

[strong sequoia]

the way that employers are hiring people just for the sake of diversity, regardless of skill, nowadays? it's 100% true

[main prism]

that's not what DEI is but ok

[topaz comet]

whats the right thought then?

[final peak]

It's really not arbitrary, the value of the labor is the difference between the use value of the materials and the use value of the product.

And if you pay the worker an amount greater than or equal to that difference, then you've made no money. So wages have to be less than the actual value of the labor in order for the exchange to make sense. Which means wage workers are robbed constantly and systemically.

[strong sequoia]

it has to do with it

[main prism]

not that

[clear sequoia]

I mean ultimately. It's free portfolio work for her. Like look my work is featured in this game bla bla

[topaz comet]

K good 1

[main prism]

bro just saying shit to say shit at this point

[still oasis]

the existence of a labor theory of value does not imply correctness of said theory

[strong sequoia]

i win

[misty warren]

how did you come to the conclusion that the value of labour is the difference between the material and its use? that is such an arbitrary thing to base it on lmao

[final peak]

You're right, it being correct is not a consequence of its mere existence.

[main prism]

better than that bot ass no wisdom ass thought lmfaooo ShE cAn EaSiLy ReAcH oUt lmfaooooooooooo

[still oasis]

it's karl marx

[misty warren]

labour is the value of the persons time

[sleek idol]

That whole aesthetic is not just one artist’s style. It’s a whole genre. Bungie needs to pay her some money and maybe give her a contracting job and we’re gucci

[misty warren]

which is entirely arbitrary

[misty warren]

how cringe, anyone who thinks karl marx's words are gospel are an idiot

[topaz comet]

her story went viral so wtf are you talking about? why couldnt she reach out online?

[main prism]

no? labor is work being done to generate profits? (in the contemporary corporate landscape, that is)

[still oasis]

they are following in his footsteps in that they both need to get a j*b

[misty warren]

and who is doing that work? and why?

[main prism]

oh yeah story going viral is definitely a pointer to how she will approach a complicated problem that's for sure

[main prism]

to fucking survive and provide? like what

[misty warren]

so you agree that someone needs to know how much their time is worth in order to find a position that suits their needs?

[main prism]

i'm convinced all yall brain rotted individuals are the reason marathon devs steal art

[topaz comet]

its called asking for help moron. its okay to do that sometimes

[final peak]

The thing that's off putting to me about everything is that their step 1 was "complain on Twitter."

I've got no respect for someone whose first weapon of choice is an angry mob.

[misty warren]

calling me brain rotted for saying labour is valued at what people value their time as is absurd

[main prism]

labor is valued at whatever the employer deems appropriate (currently)

[main prism]

right and you think that asking for help online would be better than actually talking to professionals offline LMFAOOOOOOO

[main prism]

we don't need your respect tho you can keep it

[misty warren]

and that is negotiable by the labour force. if no one applies for the position the amount offered will be higher as time goes on. and maybe in america they have shitty labour laws but not every country is like that.

[magic rose]

[topaz comet]

she can't "afford" any offline appearently

[median jetty]

[main prism]

labour force is negligible when corporations own the rights and means to production

[main prism]

then damn why don't you start a gofundme for them

[topaz comet]

why tf doesnt she? this is the point im making

[misty warren]

its not hard to gather the rights and means to production outside of needing money. it's not the corps fault.

[main prism]

because she aint feel like it like why are you being persistently dense

[clear sequoia]

This is probably the only scenario where that artist makes any money so, it's kinda a feel good story isn't it? Everybody wins kinda.

[still oasis]

and if you make an llc so can you

[main prism]

LMFAOOOO okay bro this thought is goofy as fuck

[topaz comet]

then if she doesnt feel like it why is everyone crying on her behalf

[main prism]

trueeee

[misty warren]

no its really not. Farmers can easily become multimillionairs with no corp in sight.

[main prism]

uh because it ain't right lmfao what

[topaz comet]

she clearly doesnt care enough

[main prism]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO yeah try again

[spice current]

I wonder, have you ever created anything besides a sad little evening nut?

[misty warren]

I'm an accountant and have farmer clients you're a moron

[still oasis]

i mean they should probably incorporate for tax reasons

[main prism]

nah i feel like some of us lose cuz i remember was it @amber zenith that said they lost hope

[still oasis]

and liability

[topaz comet]

if she cares about her art. she'll go after bungie. simple as that

[earnest belfry]

Is a gofundme the only thing that would show that they care? They are in direct contact with Bungie and if that comes to the solution she wants I don’t see the issue

[spice current]

So that means no. Gotchu.

[main prism]

right say that to all the coffee farmers who "work" for nestle

clown ass accountant

[amber zenith]

Yea like even if they pay her at this point why would I have faith they wouldnt do it again or fuck it up in the future

[topaz comet]

why do you want my nut? thats gross

[misty warren]

right tell that to all the farmers who own their own means of production and sell product to the highest bidder

[main prism]

real

[clear sequoia]

I thought somebody said they were paying her?

[topaz comet]

all rumors. everything

[main prism]

that can only exist in a sphere where corporations aren't vertically integrated

[still oasis]

they said they were looking into it (until the story dies down)

[main prism]

@topaz comet did but it ain't real

[earnest belfry]

the only thing we know is they are in contact with each other

[still oasis]

most likely they tried to get her to sign an NDA in exchange for like $50k or something

[misty warren]

youre an idiot and that currently happens, theres probably a deal going on rn

[amber zenith]

They should but the whole reason they didnt in the first place is because they didnt want to pull out the wallet in the first place, be it to her of for people to have the time to develop their own shit

[spice current]

Is that your winning move? Claiming I said something I didn´t? Wow. Argumentative pro.

[main prism]

calling me an idiot just signals that you have nothing better to say

[amber zenith]

People dont plagerise because they want to on this shit they do it because they are put in the crunch blender

[magic rose]

not saying it's an overnight thing but a million dollars isnt a crazy amount of money tbf, liquid is a completely different thing but it's not hard to amass a million

[topaz comet]

never seen you in here before

[misty warren]

nope you are just an idiot. you're telling me my clients who I work with every day cant do the things they actively do on a daily basis, because I'm the one that tracks it all for them.

[spice current]

Meaning...?

[topaz comet]

meaning you're a nobody

[main prism]

you work for them, not with.

[spice current]

And you are... what exactly?

[cerulean breach]

This chat is such a clusterfuck lmao

[topaz comet]

you didnt even play the Alpha don't talk to me lmao

[clear sequoia]

Risking years worth of money for very little money seems reckless.

[amber zenith]

FWIW you also should know most farmers are one bad harvest away from being fucked in a vicious debt cycle

[misty warren]

not in the labour sense but not having a financial advisor is a bad move, so yes I work with them

[misty warren]

thats what insurance is for, so no that's not how it works

[still oasis]

ya its a high risk game

[misty warren]

america is one case not the entire picture

[amber zenith]

Farming is the real extraction shooter 😔

[primal flicker]

Not all types of farming, there are government insurance programs that replace farming losses in many cases, it's a whole thing.

[topaz comet]

im starting to realize the people who never actually played the ALPHA are the ones crying

alpha**** my bad

[misty warren]

not an econ major, again I'm an accountant. just because you don't understand how things work doesn't mean you're right. and no I am not saying that's 100% how it is everywhere, I explicitly said america is one case not the whole picture like yuo're trying to make it out to be

[still oasis]

nobody has played the beta because it was canceled

[topaz comet]

i corrected myself right away chillll

[magic rose]

too many o's ur doing too much

[trim summit]

i have oreos

[magic rose]

i love oreos

[final peak]

Almost entirely.

[topaz comet]

y'all lucky i said beta by mistake

[misty warren]

🤨 you're the one living in the fantasy world thinking everything is horrible on everyone unless you're born rich

[magic rose]

Marathon devs need to start from scratch again.

[rigid oriole]

dude, you live in a bubble, check your "facts"

[misty warren]

There are a lot more reasons for why that is the case. I don't necessarily agree with how capitalism functions, but the leftist idea of some utopia where everyone is equal is just as impossible. Blaming everything on the rich is a major oversight

[misty warren]

As do you if you think everything is terrible everywhere

[rigid quartz]

Reminder: This is a chat about Marathon the game

[trim summit]

that dude was rich af wdym

[still oasis]

its possible in a post scarcity world (post scarcity isn't possible though)

[topaz comet]

Devs fault for the last live stream. barely anything to discuss right now

[misty warren]

Scarcity always will exist

[tight spire]

weren't there supposed to be some news this week?

[tight spire]

or was it next week?

[misty warren]

Damn dude blocked me right where I was gonna agree with him that pharmaceutical companies are evil lmao

[kind shale]

Bout to leave this discord. Enjoy your life. Who cares about money

[magic rose]

who tf said everyone is equal we just want people to not die from diabetes cuz they can't afford fucking insulin like bro what are you talking about

[spice current]

Oh brother..

[topaz comet]

i pre ordered two copies

[magic rose]

why did udelete it lol or was it mods

[clear sequoia]

If you print obscene amounts of money in a country where less than 1/4 of households actually pay taxes, stuff is going to suck.

[misty warren]

Not artificial though, as the population grows the problems only grow with it, there is only so much farmable land and natural resources

[earnest belfry]

they mentioned off hand they were going to show some stuff in the next week or so during the stream but nothing concrete so can't really say when/if we will even see it

[tight spire]

I mean, I've heard about the drama, but I've also heard they were supposed to drop a new trailer some time this/next week

[pearl plinth]

why are we talking about capitalism in the art raiders discord

[tight spire]

right, thanks

[spice current]

There was pretty horrible dev stream, they did not show anything because of the drama

[vale saddle]

They have to hire that person now

[misty warren]

Scarcity is very real lmao

[magic rose]

fart raiders 😂

[topaz comet]

easily replaceable decals

[misty warren]

Id love to know where these people found unlimited resources fr

[still oasis]

nooo if everyone gives up what they have then i can have more and scarcity can be solved

[topaz comet]

art though i guess

[misty warren]

Imagine if that were true 🤣

[trim summit]

money scarcity is artificial

[misty warren]

Of course it is but thats not what we're talking about

[still oasis]

obviously the money is fake everyone agrees with that

[topaz comet]

i bought all the DLC for the sims 4

[vale saddle]

My guy it's the entire asthetic of the whole game lmao

[clear sequoia]

Debt-based monetary systems are built to fail.

[topaz comet]

so you're telling me this chick made master chief ?

[still oasis]

keynesians and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race

[spice current]

That dude is like 11 yo angry boy, you aint getting anything reasonable there

[final peak]

Holy shit, someone tell the Terraria devs they need to replace their whole aesthetic too.

[high lark]

When can I pre order?

[primal flicker]

how is master chief even remotely involved in this?

[misty warren]

Imagine thinking the government has your best interests at heart

[rigid oriole]

who said everything is horrible?, there are a lot of shit in this world, but not everything is horrible, it'sm just that you don't understand what it feels because you choose the blue pill

[earnest belfry]

They haven't said

[topaz comet]

buddy let me troll in peace

[vale saddle]

Wow 10 seconds in this chat and I have irreversible brain rot

[magic rose]

bro said blue pill

[trim summit]

bro said blues clues

[misty warren]

You act like I didn't grow up in poverty and actively make changes to switch my life around. Success stories just don't exist to people with victim complexes

[still oasis]

lmao why clown react someone who made his life better through work

[clear sequoia]

Don't chew my head off but I think "entire aesthetic" is giving it a bit too much credit. It's decals. You can't own a color palette lol.

[rigid oriole]

you grow up in a 1st world country lmao, your poverty it's not even close to a 3rd world one, even if you were homeless

[topaz comet]

i was born and raised in a trailer park. being poor builds character (sometimes)

[primal flicker]

It definitely puts out "waaah, I don't want it to be true!" vibes

[vale saddle]

Whatever helps you sleep at night

[clear sequoia]

I mean it's facts tho. Do you think you can own a color palette?

[misty warren]

Not denying that but where did that come into the equation? When it comes to third world countries it is mostly government mismanagement that has put them in that position. Government corruption is such a huge deal and yet people like you love to ignore that...

[vale saddle]

You're being obviously disingenuous

[misty warren]

Look at Venezuela

Even india, they could theoretically be such a powerful country however their government is so corrupt they continue to live in literal filth and refuse to invest in the population

[river hedge]

this discord still alive? lmao

[still oasis]

the haiti/DR split is probably the best example of that

[vale saddle]

Anyway the brain rot here is too much. Every second I spend here I get dumber.

[rigid oriole]

condor operation, google it

[primal plinth]

Clown react me

[topaz comet]

sorry you didnt get to play the Alpha

[misty warren]

Proof of my point of government corruption

[magic rose]

is this an agreement or a rebuttle

[rigid oriole]

your goverment who works for the big corpos

[ember crater]

Its a butt

[misty warren]

So.... government corruption?

[clear sequoia]

Bro I'm going to start using this because it's the biggest cop-out response ever. I love it.

[rigid oriole]

corporation greed tranform into goverment corruption

[misty warren]

Lmao okay dude. Government just has to say no

[rigid oriole]

banana republics?

[ember crater]

Can the Arc Raiders fights come back?

[misty warren]

This isn't cyberpunk the corpos aren't gonna hire militant groups and declare war

[primal plinth]

Does he know?

[rigid oriole]

dude search what is the origin of the word "banana republics"

[ember crater]

I like 🍌

[misty warren]

Government. Corruption. It's not a hard concept. The corps are not the problem they offer something and the Government can approve or deny it. What they get away with was allowed by someone. You'd be smart to keep that in mind. You're fighting the wrong battle

[rigid oriole]

you definitly live in a bubble blaming the goverment for everything lol

[ember crater]

Thats 🐟 not 🍌

[oak elbow]

I got unmuted im back yay

[misty warren]

If you think the government can't make changes you're on crack. If every single country just decided to stop getting fucked over and demanded fair prices for their goods who's gonna say no?

[topaz comet]

welcome back buddy

[rigid oriole]

the goveremnt is made by corporations because corruption is legal in USA,
lobby

[misty warren]

Who do you think gives the corps these powers? You think they just have it magically?

[oak elbow]

Thank u 🤝

[rigid oriole]

so explain to me how corporations are innocent if the can buy politicians with money and contracts?

[misty warren]

Because it's natural for them to try and obtain more lucrative agreements. The government has the power to approve or deny them

[clear sequoia]

The only thing the gov can’t change is monetary policy.

[ember crater]

What came first. Chicken 🐔 or the egg 🥚

[misty warren]

You literally just described government corruption LMFAO like what is wrong with you?

"How do you explain corps being able to BUY POLITICIANS" oh you mean the GOVERNMENT? 🤣

God you are so stupid and obtuse

[magic rose]

its called lobbying and im surprised it's still a thing

[misty warren]

As long as government corruption exists lobbying will

All it takes is for the government to just.. stop taking the money. It's not that hard. But they won't. Because it benefits them politically

[rigid oriole]

in your country corruption is legalk because it's in your constitucion, the foundation of the USA are made by the rich for the rich, not that hard to understand my boy

[misty warren]

I do not live in the USA, and so you agree that the government is the problem? Glad we finally got there!

[rigid oriole]

a goverment controlled by corporations

[magic rose]

oligarchy

[misty warren]

A government willingly taking money from corps to stay in power*

Fixed it for you

(BTW, this is known as corruption)

[clear sequoia]

Who has zero control over their own monetary policy. Other than demanding more be printed.

[misty warren]

The government is the problem and they always will be. They will never do what is right for you, they will do what grants them the most favour's.

Denying that is a joke

[magic rose]

the government doesnt care about u bro @rigid oriole

[rigid oriole]

who said that?

[misty warren]

Fr dudes sucking the thing oppressing him off so hard

[rigid oriole]

big corporations neither

[oak elbow]

US gov is run by israel 🤮🤢

[magic rose]

they're not gonna let u hit man

[rigid oriole]

lobbies from israel

[misty warren]

They got you so brainwashed they want you to believe the ones literally giving them funding is the problem, why are they accepting the funding if it's so bad????

[magic rose]

everyone already knows this but its not like anyone can do anything about it

open secret

[clear sequoia]

I think the reason why corruption happens and governments don’t care is because they are on the hook to the people who really control the monetary system. So if they can hit a lick at our expense, they will

[still oasis]

naw its cause governments are full of greedy stupid people

[misty warren]

Facts

[primal plinth]

Damn it you said that word. Now the whole alphabet is gonna be looking.

[misty warren]

Government overreach and corruption are the roots of nearly every issue on the planet

[topaz comet]

Bandai and A24 are working on a live action elden ring movie

[rigid oriole]

problem is these people thinks the solution is a form of anarchy made by free market (libertarians), except that would tranform into corpos and goverment at some point

[misty warren]

Brother you just argued with me and are now aligning with my beliefs

[clear sequoia]

Corruption exists. But the united states government has zero control over it’s monetary system. They have been playing a losing game from the start.

[misty warren]

Crazy work

[ember crater]

Always ends poorly

[magic rose]

isnt the story of this new marathon that the government is secretly evil?

[still oasis]

not from the start but from the creation of the federal reserve

[misty warren]

Pretty sure corps run marathon universe

[rigid oriole]

yeah prob our only diference is the belive of what goverment is

[clear sequoia]

Exactly

[warm jasper]

I hope marathon turns out good I liked the closed beta we had

[magic rose]

generic dystopian future reality

[still oasis]

is there a federal reserve in the universe of Bungie's Marathon?

[misty warren]

I will never fault someone for wanting to make money. I will fault someone for being in a position meant to reflect the public interest and actively not doing that

[rigid oriole]

same

[primal plinth]

Yes it deals in NFTS

[round cape]

I reserve the right to federate your mom lol

[still oasis]

😮

[magic rose]

in marathon universe the Jjaro was the federal reserve

[spice current]

Bro just came out of nowehre to drop your mom joke lmao

[still oasis]

gotta respect that

[round cape]

That's what I did with your mom too

[primal plinth]

Based

[round cape]

Out of nowhere just came 😈

[high orchid]

I've been gone for a couple of hours, and you're already discussing the government. What happened?

[still oasis]

we're trying to get to the bottom of what went so wrong with society that marathon is in the state that it's in

[round cape]

There are two common inflection points different thinkers suggest: credit / debit accounting and animal husbandry

[still oasis]

double entry was supposed to solve accounting! perhaps we went too hard on the farming regulations
