[ember crater]

Think about it

[kindred vigil]

Name sound alike

[burnt gate]

It's the name sound alike meme where they have a circle and arrow of the person

[cold forge]

[hidden warren]

Who is timing us out. Can any of the freaky people seduce them or something?

While we wait for Marathon you can play Marathon Classic for free

[cold forge]

[leaden solstice]

That sounds like something a liar would say.

[nova whale]

and Marathon 2&3 are free

[dreamy warren]

What if I just want to play an extraction shooter

[surreal nova]

But which door will I tell you to open?

[cold forge]

or something someone who never lies would say

[nova whale]

free is free, take the dub

[leaden solstice]

The one on the right.

[cold forge]

its honestly tough to choose

[ember warren]

no

[hidden warren]

I want the suffering to end at once

[dreamy warren]

Can't trick me if I open neither

[burnt gate]

hope people still play marathon after all the dramas 🙂

[flat vine]

Daggerfall better free game

[kindred vigil]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BloodRayne_(video_game)

[dreamy warren]

I retired my ender printer 💔🥀 I had some form labs resin printers too but they were busted and nobody in that server (which I joined to get help troubleshooting) knew anything about them

[cold forge]

my theory is that everyone does, but the truth scares them

[surreal nova]

The “I’ll just stay in the dungeon thanks” solution to the riddle. This is why I hate running DnD campaigns

[burnt gate]

name?

[nocturne veldt]

OH THAT yeah (I liked betrayal more ngl)

unfortubately I am not related to that rayne

[nova whale]

DIX nutz! gotem

[kindred vigil]

the truth
https://www.light.gg/db/items/1201830623/truth/

[dreamy warren]

I hate running them cus they kill a child and then wonder why people hate them

[leaden solstice]

This chat's so lucky I can't post images fr.

[burnt gate]

[surreal nova]

Dungeons and dragons killed a child???

[kindred vigil]

So lucky

[dreamy warren]

My players

[surreal nova]

Ohhh you mean your players

[cold forge]

[nova whale]

i would actually play the game i just mad eup though someone can have that idea for free

[dreamy warren]

French...

[surreal nova]

Dude mine get up to all kinds of worse malfeasance. People go full mask off in these games

[coral agate]

[kindred vigil]

Malfeasance
https://www.light.gg/db/items/204878059/malfeasance/

[leaden solstice]

I was there, I know.

[burnt gate]

ain‘t no one has the money and the studio for it all good its safe in here

[coral agate]

so was i

[hidden warren]

I got into 3d printing mainly because I make 3d characters and wanted to print sht. But the prints are most of the times...sht

[nova whale]

have you seen what some single people are making in UE5? It can be done

[cold forge]

did you participate

[leaden solstice]

Maybe.

[coral agate]

UE5 is not worth using tbh

[edgy sage]

wait until resin printers get cheaper

[dreamy crow]

i once had a 3d printer for homemade mech plasmos but i ended up printing g305s

[coral agate]

"manager? more bloated games that run poorly pls"

[burnt gate]

but no one on this discord reading you message is and ain‘t no one scrolls up to your message so its safe

[kindred vigil]

I already miss Jane n Charles 💔✌️

[dreamy warren]

I literally have 3 people asking me to start up one of my campaigns (which was my first one that was Ganna be strictly serious instead of silly fantasy)...tldr 2 players work for the church of all mighty good guys. The other is adamant on being evil. Can't wait to hear them both complain about fighting each other

[ember crater]

Did charles get smacked the moment I looked away?

[kindred vigil]

no

[dreamy warren]

Nah those "why would we solve a problem when we can just kill this guy" type people

[ember crater]

Oh gotcha

[dreamy warren]

I vanished Charles

[cold forge]

oh so every dnd group

[leaden solstice]

@ember warren

[dreamy crow]

damn cuh. just like that?

[ember crater]

Best way to do that is invite Charles to CoD zombies

[cold forge]

ur such a fan

[kindred vigil]

I miss Tim apple

[hidden warren]

Why did Charles get timed out? I mean Jane was going kinda balls in the wall at the end but why Charles

[leaden solstice]

Need to whoop his ass in Titanfall again.

[nova whale]

banned?

[dreamy crow]

tim jailed for 45 minutes?

[ember crater]

I miss you Neeyth

[cold forge]

what did timothy do

[dreamy warren]

I usually play more than I dm and I actually try to solve it 💔🥀 a third of the time I play a necromancer goblin capitalist and I still end up being the most morally sound person in the group...

[kindred vigil]

no they're not jailed just miss people 🥀

[coral agate]

he was talking\

[cold forge]

lmao

[ember crater]

Charles is kinda edging a mute with nearly every message

[nova whale]

I referenced a famous artist yesterday and was muted for an hour. Jackson P, surname supposedly a slur for Polish people so there we go

[coral agate]

edging? banned

[hidden warren]

Has anyone here tried Anthem?

[kindred vigil]

yeah unfortunately

[leaden solstice]

Yes. Waste of my money.

[surreal nova]

Conflicting alignments and allegiances are hard because you have to concoct a narrative reason they won’t kill each other and that’s even harder with priests and paladins

[wooden cosmos]

Edging 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀

[ember crater]

All the time

[kindred vigil]

omg it's anti Diddy blud

[dreamy warren]

My other character is a zombie that defected from a certain group of bad guys in Europe that have been the irl bbeg and he's also still one of the more morally sound characters 😭

[dreamy crow]

hahaha

[kindred vigil]

Oh my God it's keysmash666

[wooden cosmos]

Wsg twin

[coral agate]

wait is the name of tje 1945 grman ruling party automoded?

[ember crater]

Just the open Beta. I really felt it was hollow and an inch deep even then

[dreamy warren]

2 players are paladins and the other is a warlock. Which I said "cool great you can have that but if your powers are sinister you'll have to hide it from the group" and then he basically wanted to start doing lich stuff from adventure time

[leaden solstice]

Get outta here and listen to some sleep phonk lil bro 🥀

[dreamy warren]

I feel it's pretty safe to assume it is

[coral agate]

fair

[cold forge]

its my favorite insult, unfortunate

[ember crater]

What in glorb's name is sleep phonk

[surreal nova]

Bruh. Some people don’t understand the concept of cooperative storytelling

[leaden solstice]

Don't worry I gotchu twin! Tap into that new sleep phonk!

[wooden cosmos]

Ts like knock out gas gng 😭 ✌️

[cold forge]

damn you aren't unc status at all

[dreamy crow]

phonk was a mistake

[hidden warren]

My 2 euros say otherwise. Who is paying full price for games nowadays. ₗₒₒₛₑᵣ

[cold forge]

agreed

[ember crater]

Iunno I hate phonk much less then I hated Trap so eh

[nova whale]

people out here throwing around Unc as if Marathon isn't Unc city being 35yrs old franchise

[leaden solstice]

I said I was 21, the hell?

[dreamy warren]

After I put the campaign on hold he has a lot of character development irl so I've actually been thinking about picking the campaign back up but I also just signed a contract yesterday to buy a house so I'm strapped of time energy and money... Especially with that + working full time + college

[cold forge]

that's rough cause trap is fire

[ember crater]

Truly rough.

[cold forge]

people lie or are beyond their years

[dreamy warren]

Yea but this isn't a boomer shooter so it's not unc status it's different same name on the box other than that it's different

[leaden solstice]

Me when I'm Ursa:

[ember crater]

I was an Unc at 17 ngl

[still oasis]

art raiders

[dreamy crow]

we all have pet peeves. but id say the same edm in the vein of monstercat. im a hipster 😂

[cold forge]

the overlap is definitely there

[nova whale]

but you dont think it got old men like me in with the name?

[dreamy warren]

I was an unc at 10 💔🥀 watching the rifleman

[cold forge]

idk why people take their age so seriously

[kindred vigil]

hebrkfozbwmelrhf

[dreamy warren]

It does but you guys are uncs. Not the extraction game 🥀

[leaden solstice]

Monstercat fell off so hard it's insane 😭

[nova whale]

It is cursed Unc, if you dont know what it is then you ar unc 😅

[kindred vigil]

Monster cat crab rave wholesome chungus 100

[surreal nova]

It’s hard because it’s a lot of commitment from you as the DM, and your players could and often do just cancel

[dreamy warren]

Haven't heard anything since I was in 7th grade 💔

[cold forge]

edm fell off

[coral agate]

what is an unc

[kindred vigil]

u

[cold forge]

it was never good tbh, house is timeless

[leaden solstice]

Fr. I recall hearing EDM on every MLG montage.

[ember crater]

I do it for the meme.

I play old ass games where everyone around me is old as hell since the dawn of time. But its just because i like games

[nova whale]

every time i read "unc" it reminds me of the Gonk droid in Lego Star Wars

[dreamy warren]

Especially cus I make all my custom maps, monsters, items and everything in-between the other 3 things I got going on 💔

[cold forge]

you it seems

[hidden warren]

Pretty much a walking corpse

[wooden cosmos]

Plinko goated

[surreal nova]

I always start with lightweight one shot sessions first with any new group, and only progress to a full campaign after they show up for at least 3 of those with no issues

[leaden solstice]

The hell is a plinko???

[nova whale]

I love how you cant attach photos here but can send any link in chat. wild

[still oasis]

[dreamy warren]

I've played with the group before but one guy was new.mm the guy trying to be evil... That was the 4th campaign I wrote with the same players other than him

[dreamy crow]

yea take me back when dj boring dropped winona and it was fun to produce on soundcloud lowkey

[ember crater]

Plinko is japanese "gambling"

[cold forge]

back to being a jit just like that damn

[surreal nova]

Consent. Photos pop up with no action required, you gotta click on links

[leaden solstice]

I'm 21. I feel old and also like I never stopped being 17. It's weird.

[nova whale]

still have that leaf youve been here like a week lol

[hidden warren]

I mean if you wanna see all of the cocks this earth has gifted us, then pics might be nice I guess

[ember crater]

I even went back to listen to Deadmau5 4x4 and other albums recently

[cold forge]

who wouldn't

[surreal nova]

We had pic perms before and it was mostly harmless furries

[nova whale]

easier places to go for that. I guess it makes sense since week 1 was choas in here and you can also have the auto bots detect porn to purge it

[cold forge]

until the fire nation attacked

[dreamy crow]

weirdly i didnt appreciate him until these days lol i dont know why he ticked me off

[true mountain]

[nova whale]

i wish there was a quick way to check from the last message from Staff was

[leaden solstice]

I'm not opening that.

[ember crater]

I more or less learned to appreciate him back in the day cause I bought an album. Didnt like it initially and went "well I cant buy another album might aswell listen to it more"

[nova whale]

over 2 weeks radio silence now

[dreamy warren]

Some of you do not have a broad music playlist and it shows 💔🥀

[leaden solstice]

Don't lump me in with those casuals.

[nova whale]

Seeing Justice in december I hope Tame Impala makes a cameo

[dreamy warren]

You're probably a casual too 💔🥀

[potent mortar]

ok.

[ember crater]

Ohh justice is legendary

[dreamy warren]

Even tame Impala (not saying it's bad music) is incredibly overplayed

[cold forge]

i listen to all kinds of music, from billie eilish to drake

[leaden solstice]

Whatchu know about that Qteku lil bro?

[dreamy crow]

please you cant beat my music selection. humbly

[dreamy warren]

So two artists in basically the same genre?

[hidden warren]

DonPollo2982

[dreamy warren]

I'm sure I can 🗣️🗣️

[nova whale]

i think yearly i listen to over 300 new artists on Spotify, I just do discover weekly every week

[cold forge]

tame impala is one rare pepe if you ask me

[leaden solstice]

Not rare ball knowledge at all.

[dreamy warren]

Discover weekly chump 🥀💔

[potent mortar]

the only ball some of u mfs know is sack

[dreamy warren]

Literally anyone under the age of 25 knows at least 3 tame Impala songs

[dreamy warren]

They called me a sack cus I balled so hard

[cold forge]

how many know 3 imagine dragons songs

[dreamy warren]

Also all of them

[hidden warren]

How about I sack your balls and leave

[leaden solstice]

Imagine Dragons suck, so zero.

[nova whale]

Global top 50 has been the same for a year, still has lady gaga and bruno mars

[dreamy crow]

okay. recommend me a very good industrial album, coldwave artist, post punk gem,pop album that isnt brat, good rapper. mpreg if you accept challenge

[cold forge]

[dreamy warren]

Gimme a sec

[cold forge]

smoke and mirrors is peak, idk what ur yapping about

[leaden solstice]

Yawn. Mid slop.

[potent mortar]

mpreg quirky ;P

[ember crater]

Honestly music genres are so fucking confusing and have blurry lines sometimes I hate it

[cold forge]

infuriating ragebait coming from an edmcel

[surreal nova]

I don’t get music snobbery

[leaden solstice]

What are you on about??? I don't listen to EDM anymore. I literally said Monstercat fell off.

[surreal nova]

I’ll listen to just about anything but I love classical / instrumental the best

[cold forge]

its fun

[ember crater]

Some genres are well defined into BPM ranges and effects and some are "its a vibe"

[cold forge]

anymore, don't act like people change

[leaden solstice]

Let's go playlist for playlist lil bro.

[cold forge]

sticking to genres is kinda weirdchamp

[surreal nova]

Oh okay I get beefing for fun carry on

[nova whale]

• Industrial Album: Streetcleaner by Godflesh (1989)

• Coldwave Artist: Jacno

• Post-Punk Gem: Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants (1980)

• Pop Album: Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves (2018)

• Good Rapper: Mick Jenkins

[leaden solstice]

Acting like you could stop me 💔

[surreal nova]

Short and small

[hidden warren]

It's like fighting for football teams, for some football player that wouldn't even use you as a door mattress if they were getting paid for it

[wet herald]

Not enough Nine Inch Nails talk in here

[leaden solstice]

Choppable legs btw.

[nova whale]

[nova whale]

PB DL was 220

[ember warren]

[hidden warren]

Oh brother, we use kilos here. I though you had some thunder thighs equipped in there...unless

[tall pulsar]

soo guys I played Elden nightreign and it doesn't have voice chat. thats a yikes got rethinking this whole marathon thing. lol probably going to skip out on this one if they don't add prox chat.

[surreal nova]

I don’t have an Instagram or anything sorry

[ember crater]

Cant catch up if Ursa never stops

[ember warren]

ill live longer than him, also i meant in terms of squat pr

[wooden cosmos]

Mafia old country .000257 showers away gng I can’t wait

[leaden solstice]

Then I don't believe it happened (I do, I'm just trolling.)

[ember warren]

4 YEARS DAMNNN

[hidden warren]

Real question. Do people add the weight of the bar when they lift or squad?

[ember crater]

Nah Ursa built diff

[leaden solstice]

I would.

[wooden cosmos]

Yes lmao

[ember warren]

hes old ill catch up and surpass him one day hopefully

[nova whale]

like for counting? yeah

[ember warren]

yes the bar is 45 lbs some bars are lighter at 25

[surreal nova]

I definitely got some thick thighs. Tbh it’s mostly because I want to increase my BMR and eat more…

[nova whale]

unless you say "2 plates" in which case there are 4 50lb/20kg plates and the bar

[ember warren]

yeah but you wouldnt tell non gym goers you bench 2 plates

[true mountain]

only an npc gets tattoos

[ember warren]

also a plate is 45 not 50

[ember crater]

Wrong

[true mountain]

im no npc
im not gonna waste my money on that

[nova whale]

i used to run a gym for about 5years ha the banter was mighty

[leaden solstice]

Why not just say the weight?

[ember warren]

idk quicker, like saying the time is 10 after

[nova whale]

too much brain power, affects gains

[surreal nova]

I used the machine so it barely counts anyway

No spotter

[tall pulsar]

Just going to say Eldenring Nightreign sucks the haters were right and probably are going to right about Marathon if you don't add prox chat Bungie.

[ember warren]

smith? that shit dont count im sorry unc, we'll give you 450

[leaden solstice]

No? It still is insane.

[nova whale]

lifting is lifting, keep at it! dont let anyone gatekeep your routine

[hidden warren]

I was squatting 220 (kilos, don't know how many pounds that is), but for whatever reason my lazy ass stopped when uni started. Tried again, 180 barely. Depressed. Got fat too

Save it for the Nightreign steam discussion forum

[leaden solstice]

Me when I stop consistently exercising.

[surreal nova]

I didn’t lose much weight on my squat but my benches got CRUSHED

[nova whale]

raw? just belt? suit?

[surreal nova]

When I took a break after college

[tall pulsar]

just pointing out how vital prox chat is going to be

[surreal nova]

Thanks hon

[ember crater]

Nightreign isn't even a good example because its issue is voice in general not prox

[leaden solstice]

I'm not gonna get that high in terms of weight lifting (not what I wanna aim for while working out), but kudos to you for going that far.

[surreal nova]

I appreciate it thanks bud. Gym is my introverted time so I usually don’t do spotters and I will never lift free weights without one

[nova whale]

good idea, unless you have good safety equipment never get under a bar alone

[ember warren]

unc im gatekeeping im sorry but i fw that i got a friend that goes at the same time thats my only spotter ever

[tall pulsar]

doesn't matter game needs it and its DOA if it doesn't. This is coming from someone that still has hope.

[hidden warren]

Raw I was sitting around 180-200 kilos and only used the gyms belt because I was broke to buy a decent one, I was like 17/18. Never added the bar weight either. No one ever told me young that I had and I didn't have friends or was to shy to ask the gym people for help

[nova whale]

jesus who here hasnt peaked at 18/19 lol that was my strongest too

[ember warren]

you an aesthetic guy?

[leaden solstice]

Nope. I play ice hockey.

[nova whale]

body of a god, shame its Buddha

[ember warren]

arent u american

[leaden solstice]

Yes. Which means I'm better at it than you.

[surreal nova]

Same, you recovered instantly and had so much free time

[ember warren]

ermmm im canadian so i win those (i cant skate so i would hope your better)

[leaden solstice]

Remind me how many Canadian teams have won the Stanley Cup?

[nova whale]

i think skipping class to go to the gym and waking up at 11am was key ha, job, kids, up at 5am. Good luck recovery

[surreal nova]

It’s all good dude I do mentally shave off weight when I use machines

[ember warren]

remind me the percentage of canadian players on those teams??

[leaden solstice]

You be quiet.

[hidden warren]

Yeah I was always a fatty younger so I started hardcore working out every day multiple hours, went to mma and kick boxing too. Whole body full of stretch marks because of the really big leap of muscle I put (and bad dieting tbh). Then I stopped. All that work for nothing

[ember crater]

I wish I actually got into my weights class in highschool but I fell behind basically everyone because I would skip school a ton and basically every kid was in football

[hidden warren]

Well never too late

[nova whale]

Best time to start is today

[surreal nova]

It takes very little time to become conditioned. Your body wants to be challenged and get strong

[nova whale]

I'd say im just going to get a power rack for the shed and never join a gym again, i always get good enthusiam for 3 weeks and then let the membership go for 6 months and waste my money

[surreal nova]

My gym has racquetball courts so I always get my moneys worth

[nova whale]

my son is 12kg atm so hes like a living kettlebell I am getting in great shape the last few weeks

[leaden solstice]

M-preg resistance training.

[hidden warren]

I actually completely stopped going to the gym because one day, while squatting, two ladys called the gym guy and told him that I was sweating a lot. The shame that run through my body was nuts

[nova whale]

what horrible people, sorry to hear that

[hidden warren]

Home gyms is always the way. Peace of mind at all times

[wooden fjord]

God I really wish I could have a home gym

Some day 🙏

[surreal nova]

That’s so shitty. Almost everyone is at the gym to get better and help others get better. Sorry you ran into the rare exception

[nova whale]

i think like 250kf worth of weights, a power rack for squat, DL, bench, pull up, dip and a few dumbbells would be enough

[surreal nova]

But that rare exception can leave lasting scars

[nova whale]

we'd a guy on tren or something in our gym and the sweat was driping off him like as if he was the shower, but he used his towel so nothing was said

[leaden solstice]

Why would people get mad at someone for sweating in a gym??? That's like being mad that salt is in the ocean.

[nova whale]

Unless it is literally spalshing on you it was a see you next tueasday complaint to make

[hidden warren]

Sometimes simpler things work too. You just need a little bit more knowledge. I just got a punching bag some weights and you good to go. Btw a tip, if anyone want to loose weight and don't want to do all the cardio and sht just get a punching bag and learn basic punches. You gonna drain fat like crazy

yummy?

[full gazelle]

real

[leaden solstice]

WE know you are but what am I?

[nova whale]

theres actually a boxing and circuit gym near me but I got a deviated septum in my nose so after like 2min cardio i am breathign out my ass

[cloud nebula]

they leave puddles around and its just kinda gross looking but you dont say anything

[leaden solstice]

The projection is brazy/

[hidden warren]

Yeah and I has just renewed my subscription . Straight up left, never went back. That was the actuall last time I went to a gym. Kinda shows how much small things like that impact young people. If it was now I would probably not give a sht

[cloud nebula]

thats what got me into martial arts also being able to fight but mostly lose weight

[leaden solstice]

Ouch. Unfortunate that happened to you.

[hidden warren]

Tbh I just wanted to punch and get punched at first. Like a stress reliever, but I kind liked it after some time

[cloud nebula]

you could start boxing or... upgrade and start muay thai where you can clinch (my fav) knee, elbow and kick

i advise everyone to try martial arts btw shit is so funnn

[final plover]

Why

[cloud nebula]

fun, also good to be active 🙂

[leaden solstice]

Might try Juijutsu fr.

[random marsh]

can i project my stuff on u tho frfr

butt nahh can u take it?

[leaden solstice]

Holy airball of doom and death 😭🙏

[cloud nebula]

yo thats what i do and muay thai i love jiu jitsu richi is really good hes a blue belt (2 years i think) but he trains at like the best gym in the us and def the most competitve

[random marsh]

cuz i give a lot of projection twin

[hidden warren]

I did kick boxing and mma for almost two years, but the teacher we had was shitty. I remember the last half year I was just getting destroyed by everyone because of how unmotivated I got. My guy was the only one in our town teaching those so everyone was going there. After I left, almost all the og's left, went somewhere else and instantly started playing actual matches in different countrys. That guy had a bunch of kids with so much potential and didn't do sht with it

[random marsh]

🍤

[cloud nebula]

yeah dont train "mma" train different martial arts and mix them yourself, kick boxing is good tho you should get back in its great, easy to watch high level matches as well because of ONE FC they stream events most fridays for free on youtube

[cold ferry]

[leaden solstice]

IP grabber.

[random marsh]

thx for the heads up bae

[hidden warren]

Oh yeah I did do other martial arts. That what it really was. I did kick boxing first and then I started brazilian jiu jitsu and some wrestling, and then we had some mma classes every month. Really wanted to try muay thai but they didn't teach that

[kindred vigil]

How do we thank elderly in english properly. In greek we use plural form for one guy, which I guess it doesn't make sense in english

[cloud nebula]

at least shes american you guys dont have taxes that bad at least its not 50-60% like here

[surreal nova]

“Thank you sir” works

[hidden warren]

Why did that message take so long to send

[cloud nebula]

just hit a "thanks unc"

[echo shuttle]

thanks unc is the most respectful thing you can say

[inland jasper]

English doesn’t really have honorifics but AAVE has taken to using “unc”

go dark and cook

[pallid shoal]

i'm enjoying nightreign and also making people so mad

[sick carbon]

Man, People Can Fly is laying off another wave of staff and suspending games in development due to lack of funds on the project. Mismanged money by management? I wonder if its the CEOs fault

how is it so far? I still havnt looked at anything about it

[echo shuttle]

[pallid shoal]

every studio bulked up over the past 5 years, it just ballooned dev costs and it's not generally profitable

[hidden warren]

I am actually amazed with the amount of money spend in some of this game. Where the fck does all that money go

[sick carbon]

150k salary tech testers

[pallid shoal]

the usual places

[sharp halo]

After 2 months i finally finished finally fantasy 7 remake

[sharp halo]

Yes cuz rebirth is on a deal rn and i just got paid

But i still gotta finish last of us 2 cyberpunk

[echo shuttle]

just watch the live action last of us lul :3

[nova whale]

they have a really good craft service

[sharp halo]

They guttered ellie, the writer was scared to make her the same way she was in the game

"I'm gonna be a dad"

[echo shuttle]

ive seen comparison vids and its strange from what ive seen. Weird direction

[pallid shoal]

150k/y avg engineers or artists * 200 staff = 30mill/year just for good talent. add technology costs, mgmt staff, CEO, and running a businesslike AAA studio cannot spend 7-10y making and restarting a project without quickly getting to hundreds of millions of dollars just keeping the business running

[sharp halo]

Should i get expedition 33 ?

Turns out i missed out on the flash sale for ff7 rebirth

[nova whale]

i heard it is GOTY material

[echo shuttle]

peop[le seem to really really likeit and think its goty contender so far. Im gonna get it soon

[sharp halo]

I cant trust a bald headed pfp someone else give me their opinion

Thanks pixel buying rn

[echo shuttle]

i am frog

frogs are always trustworthy

[pallid shoal]

i'm sure lots of Bungie's "burn rate" problems is they keep high quality staff and pay them like they're making one of the biggest productions in video game history, that's just an expensive business to run on star wars skins

[echo shuttle]

nah but I mean i would look at some gameplay. Some people not like it but I think it looks dope and ALOT of people seem to enjoy it

[hidden warren]

They just have bad management. All the actual good artists and devs are leaving this studios and making their own. Not trynna be typical here, but some of the best recent games I had where from new founded studio filled with vets from the industry or just new people with passion. Every company will meet it's end sooner or later. Some of the older ones are just going through the worst path they can.

[pallid shoal]

it's no accident a bunch of the older art talent and devs were the ones getting laid off

[nova whale]

Bigot against the follically challenged smh

[sharp halo]

If i dont like gameplay it is what it is just go with the flow i heard it's turn based i've played persona so i should be aight

[buoyant flare]

Happy first day of pride

[sharp halo]

Blah blah blah 👩🏻‍🦲

[pallid shoal]

that dispersion is a normal part of the process, no one wants to work that long and not take a shot at being their own boss rather than always being given the orders

[pallid shoal]

but yes, it's expensive and there's def been some real boneheaded mgmt decisions

[sharp halo]

If ur gonna have an nft for u pfp atleast pay one with some hair

[nova whale]

not every pfp is an nft fam

[sharp halo]

Sure kiddo

[pallid shoal]

when your business is that expensive it's always succeed or die, and games is an especially risky industry

[hidden warren]

I mean, because I played a new game from a new studio it doesnt really mean it is new new. It is new to the general publics eye. Most vets and old devs are loaded with money and some of them decide to use it correctly.

[echo shuttle]

thats what someone with a nft would say 🧐 . Jarvis scan his pfp

[nova whale]

kiddo, unc, which one is it?

[pallid shoal]

what is there a baldy in here 🤮

[sharp halo]

Go put on a hat, we dont want to see you bald headed ahh 😭🙏

[echo shuttle]

I believe so

[nova whale]

yawn, get better bait

[sharp halo]

Damn

Was it obvious 😔

[hidden warren]

I've lost you I think. Dev old, knowledge in field. Dev makes money working. Studio shitty. Dev leaves. A lot of money in pocket. Dev 1,2,3 make new studio. Work new studio. New game. Passion, talent, knowledge. Game popular. More money. Old studios doodoo

[pallid shoal]

and sometimes your studio's a pet project for a retired baseball pitcher

wurm moment

[dreamy warren]

Google what a wurm is before you show me that little worm

[nova whale]

if preorders went live this afternoon who is on board? we all calmed about the art?

[pallid shoal]

just grind up the collector's edition and shoot it under my toe nails

[nova whale]

you need some for the microtransactions left over

[nova whale]

me first, i need some steel book and pin delicious special

[echo shuttle]

I would have to pass. I need to see more either in the next test or release.

[hidden warren]

I never understood preorders tbh. Each to their own, but like you can't wait to spend your money or sum? Feels like an addiction to me. We both gonna play the same time or with couple of days difference.

[nova whale]

it is the FOMO pre order bonuses that never come back, it is a sickness i will concede

[pallid shoal]

nah i never use that preorder stuff

[echo shuttle]

tbf tho i dont preorder anything anymore. Games come out so often that are shit and unfinished. I always wait to see what people say and if its worth the money first UNLESS I found the beta test really good

[nova whale]

tbh i just uusally wait 1-3 years so it's 75-90% off and feature complete like GOTY edition

[echo shuttle]

Nah thats too long lol

[nova whale]

my back catalogue is like 2014 lol I am working my way slowly so i dont mind. but a game like marathon itll need to be played fresh

[hidden warren]

Yeah I don't know. I always thought it as some type of consumption addiction or whatever. Most of the time you get recolored things and again maybe two or three days early release. Sometimes increases price for better packages too. People can spend their money how they like though

[echo shuttle]

I can see that with single player/solo style games but if its an online game then I aint waiting that long :/

[final mauve]

Is it really fomo if at the end of the season you lose it all and start again? Therefor anyone can start from any point and still enjoy the game for what it gives?

[nova whale]

the last game I preordered was Halo 3 id say. but if theyre cooking a nice special edition i might get on board

[echo shuttle]

Its fomo if they offer to play the game before it launches like a few days early. People will buy it purely for that so they dont miss out on the first days of release

[hidden warren]

We just love spending money to feel like we are the first to do so. That's how it just is. Why do we think some studios keep pumping doodoo games and still have enough for a new one. Make a good cinematic, build some hype, throw the preorder in there and there you go. Just a marketing game, And it works, I used to play lol younger becasue of one of their cinematics. Wasted sht loads of year. Completely cut off the game and I am at peace now

[nova whale]

I was on the DOOM server the time the early access launched and it was delayed 2hrs due to a bug in Steam and holy moley the rage. People trheatening to unalive themselves and all. You will get super fans all the time

[proud glade]

hey guys

[echo shuttle]

OH yeah big time. Its such a scummy practice of adding early play to a preorder but I mean people buy it so guess they just enabling them

[final mauve]

The issue with destiny, is that it does the same thing. Each season is something new, new things get added and theres no point to think about older loot when better new loot comes in anyway. But the idea of leaving behind tokens or badges that show your completion i think are what fuels the fomo, because those are used as symbols of status or “skill”. But not everyone has the hours a streamer has

[proud glade]

guys do you hate me

[nova whale]

same with microtransactions, the whales make it worth it and everyoje else has to suffer

id a friend spend $500 on REQ packls for Halo 5

absolute fool

[echo shuttle]

OOOF

[final mauve]

Microtransactions are bad. But i dont mind direct cash paying for certain things

Like back then, skins came usually in packs and cost not a whole lot of money

[nova whale]

look I wont lie i spent the $25AUD to get the halo 1 armor in Infinite, i am part of the problem. got me with the member berries

[shy flame]

Unc status

[final mauve]

Pffft, dude i just download halo pc/custom edition, 2 project cartographer, and 3 eldewrito lmfaoo

[proud glade]

the last game I preordered was... probably a game

[nova whale]

Char it is well established (by you) I am thje resident Unc

[final mauve]

Plus i own the originals on disk…and MCC on xbox and pc

[echo shuttle]

the game

[tame nacelle]

I bought the cat ears....

I'm awful....

[final mauve]

Destiny 2 was my last pre-order, and also beyond light

[hidden warren]

Not a bad thing at all. It is just really bad right now. Tbh that is completely our fault too. We just have to stop buying, that simple. What they gonna do, force a gun to our heads, to the million of players? We are completely at fault here becasue we scared our favorite game is gonna persih if we don't throw our money away

[shy flame]

I bought the OPI polishes, cat ears, and Firefall helmet back around launch. This last month I 've been hopping back in after like 3 or 4 years

[echo shuttle]

I actually dont remember the last time ive bought a preorder. I just never cared for it

[nova whale]

is it good now? i uninstalled like 18m ago

[echo shuttle]

Im sure I preordered one of the older cods tho. Tbf tho that was when cod was good

[final mauve]

I think destiny sunsetting was a double edged sword. I think it was good for certain guns and whatnot to prevent fomo, and keep new things feel new and relevant

[shy flame]

My last pre-order was The Final Shape for D2 but tbf ive been playing since d1 beta on Xbox 360, so it was just my annual subscription p much.

[nova whale]

the FOMO season passes in Infinite were getting too much and I was only unlocking 30% at a time due to being too busy

[shy flame]

I did notice in the battle pass tab that they quit doing the full passes where you could earn credits back??

[nova whale]

Char that's Auntie status I was playing the D1 beta too lol

[shy flame]

No no thats... baka na... impossible......

[nova whale]

👴 🤝 👵

[shy flame]

23 year old auntie who remembers the borderlands 2 midnight launch and the subsequent lackluster pre-sequel midnight launch

[final mauve]

Same here lmfao

[echo shuttle]

Shit they charging 80 for that new borderlands arnt they?

[nova whale]

nah Char youre young still

[nova whale]

see randy had to back track his shit?

[shy flame]

My local gamestop gave out BL2 t shirts and pizza and mtn dew with your pickup. For pee sequel they just gave out some little flyers about the season pass 😭😭😭

[echo shuttle]

Wonder if its gonna be any good. Never been a huge borderland fan

[shy flame]

I just pray they don't announce deluxe editions pre orders before I get my money right. I'm so behind on bills and work on my car but by God I want a loot chest edition. Never had the money as a kid, this is the first game to release while im an adult 🙏🙏🙏

[echo shuttle]

oh gosh they got you lul

[nova whale]

cant say i ever played Borderlands, seemed really repetitive to me but open to change my mind. The Pandora's Box collection goes on heavy sale quite often like 250$ down to 50

[echo shuttle]

Yeah I mean its a looter shooter. They tend to be very repetitive but good for putting music on and just vibing

[nova whale]

Tiny Tina's wonderland is free on Epic atm until 6th June

[nova whale]

current vibe is ReCore but its a bit soulless. Going to give it maybe one more hour before i quit it

[final mauve]

My dad camped a gamestop to get halo 2 limited collectors edition

And in the military, they’d play splitscreen lan while deployed of halo 2

[echo shuttle]

Really?

[final mauve]

I think borderlands humor and story just…idk…maybe a younger me wouldve found it funny. Its just not enjoyable for me anymore, i really tried

[nova whale]

ill need an unpack on that. I never played it, just know its free

[final mauve]

It isnt really woke, its full of irreverent humor that imo only a teenager would find funny. The grind for the game is worse than destiny imo too

[ember warren]

what's with the gay attitude ?

[still oasis]

yes, but i think it's because the budgets are too high

more people => worse people => more work => worse work

so you get a gigantic ton of poor quality

it's ok, indie studios with ue5 and ai assets are gonna wallop the aaa studios over the next few years

[ember warren]

meeting of the minds in here 💔

[sage cosmos]

Not sure BL4 is worth it. They’ve already talked about some shady shit like making any content created by ppl for the game like streams and videos as automatically owned by the company

[still oasis]

yah it's all slop

[nova whale]

What is a game you want to play? Just too many genres now but these companies are trying to capture like 1,000 fandoms into one to make back $$$$$ budget

[final mauve]

Well i think more genres are good for capturing the attention and skills of certain people

[mental mango]

my plan is sleep ?

[pallid shoal]

love that plan'

[final mauve]

Outside air

[mental mango]

dang gif is dead soup i can't post them

touch grass imo

[shy flame]

HAHAHAHAHAHA touch grass

[ember warren]

yo tabescent is gay asl its a joke sis chilll

[shy flame]

No, I alone am the Woker. I am the Woke Who Lightly Knocks.

[ember warren]

tabescent beat you to being the woker im sorry they predate you

[shy flame]

🫶.....💔

[ember mountain]

LMFAO

mods mad again

Bet

[ember warren]

any pronouns you gay asl

[ember mountain]

lol yeah I just checked it

[echo shuttle]

Bro got pronoun checked without consent

[ember warren]

what's with the gay attitude ?

[thorn plank]

just you, boss

now get in me

[echo shuttle]

I didnt know tabescent was gay

👀 the message before that doesn't help your cae m8

[thorn plank]

it's a process

[shy flame]

I am discovering I am not woke enough for "my" communities

[ember warren]

its hard to be woke enough

[echo shuttle]

Just wake up or should I say woke up lul

Knee slapper right there i tell ya what

[thorn plank]

white people should say awakened or else it's racist

awakened is just the right amount of lame for white people, too. Sounds like a hippy trying to give you life advice

[shy flame]

Is there a woke quiz

[thorn plank]

I'm far left both politically and socially but I think people are way too sensitive about language. Where is that on the wokeometer?

[shy flame]

Idk i wrote my freshman AP World History essay on Pal-Rael war and the oppression of the Pal people so.. fairly woke?

That was 2017-2018 lol

[thorn plank]

hahaha leave the old man alone. He tried his best

[shy flame]

Hipster 8 years before the world stage turned its magnifying glass 💔

[thorn plank]

I was into a bunch of stuff then a lot of other people got into it and people started calling them hipsters so I couldn't talk about all the stuff I like and that made me sad

Then again, I was a bartender in Portland so there's a good chance I'm just a hipster

[shy flame]

💀💀💀 woke hipster or "Most Racist Man Alive" t shirt hipster?

[thorn plank]

fucking neither I hope, Jesus Christ

awakened hipster, please

[shy flame]

The river - the sea.

[thorn plank]

I wanted to make a rainbow t-shirt with a unicorn on it that said "I'm not gay" and wear it to Burning Man, though

[shy flame]

I remember writing about how their license plates would be different colours, they had IDF enforced curfews, etc. And that was just based on what info was available in my school library IN 2017. A beautiful and resilient people. Your jokes mean nothing.

[shy flame]

Imagine if it just said "gay". It'd be 10x funnier bc if anyone said they liked your shirt, you could just go "im not" and shake your head.

When a man's eyes close, he will often see only darkness.

[thorn plank]

gingers, subsaharan africa

[shy flame]

Holy fucking yap, plus the em dash? Did bro fr GPT up a discord response?

[thorn plank]

I actually have a visual phenomenon where everything looks grainy, almost like everything is made up of pixels. I forget what it's called but I've heard it described as a kind of visual dyslexia

[shy flame]

Hey man its cool, I got my ASD diagnosis at 20 as well. There's still time to get examined. What I said was a blatant metaphor. I even added a "weasel word", like "often". I know you take things literally often, as do I. Just know you're not alone.

[gritty sparrow]

when does ts drop

[shy flame]

Happy undiagnosed month for guy who wrote an essay about how actually my metaphor is false

[clever bluff]

😭 😭 😭

[shy flame]

Not denying that you don't understand metaphors and take things too literally 🤔

WOOP YEAH NERF VOID BUFF GLITCH AND GIVE BLACKBIRD EVEN MORE LIPSTICK

[shy flame]

And im NOT joking

[dusk badger]

I am so crazy for Blackbird.

[dreamy crow]

is that the godard syndrome?

[shy flame]

🤣🤣🤣 ARE YOU BRITISH

+6 hour time difference from CST, copy pasted AI response, doesn't get metaphors, pro Notrael -

Absolutely from the UK

[surreal nova]

Don’t let char bully you it’s okay that you’re European

As long as you’re not Scottish

[astral tusk]

has there been any updates with the art theft controversy

[shy flame]

You guys are right. I have been mean lately. Im so sorry Ursa bear please don't maul me NO NO NOT MY EYES OH LORD NOT MY EYES PLEASE JUST TAKE MY LOCAL HONEY, ITS WILDFLOWER

[keen nymph]

I don't expect anything to be honest. I just hope they can somehow salvage this and this cool idea for a game can become a reality.

[small hamlet]

Who fuckin cares. Everyone virtue signaling and acting like they care about artists is hilarious

[keen nymph]

People may not, but it's still a feels bad moment.

[surreal nova]

I legit would take your honey instead of murdering you

[rancid pebble]

I also choose this person's honey

[shy flame]

Local honey always delivers in Kentucky. Love it. Farmers Markets are usually too early for me tho, I send my boyfriend XD

Brother your message said there was no context in a message that said "IDF enforced curfews" youre being intentionally House

[shy flame]

No way bro put that "Reddit" reference in there. Yo its like "UPDOOOT" "THANKS FOR GOLD" "WE DID IT"

Edit: yknow like that guy who goes "no way you put that Naruto reference in there"

[rancid pebble]

we fucking did it reddit

[shy flame]

.. why would the IDF be enforcing Covid curfews in 2017?

[rancid pebble]

anyways fuck all that I've already depicted the both of u as soyjacks and me as the chad now stop writing essays at eachother

[shy flame]

Idk if anyone else here knows how to read, but this is the message Tighty Upwhiteys responded to 💀

[wet light]

Fall off needs to be studied

[shy flame]

@sullen cloud hey man, clearly you're dealing with some reading comprehension struggles what with the whole metaphor thing and now this, I hope your night goes well. Hope you get to enjoy some summer watermelons, visit the beach. Maybe fish in a river or get out on the open seas.

[dreamy warren]

What the scallop

[kindred vigil]

TAILS THE FOX 😱😱😱😱❓❓

[shy flame]

💔 what the sea urchin

[dreamy warren]

What the sea pickle 🥀

[surreal nova]

Farmers markets are always trying to close at noon on the weekend, who gets up that early on a Saturday?!

[shy flame]

Idk if youre joking but I can get up early, its just being outside so early 💔

[surreal nova]

I’m not joking. I wake up at 11am on weekends

[dreamy warren]

It's usually less about being up and more about the space. They're usually in public spaces. Our Saturday market was under a parking garage that we had to be out by 12 cus then it goes back to city parking

Our other markets that are in a space we don't have to share were often weekdays and we're from 2-6

i am a first person source on this 🥀

[shy flame]

Oh man, you gotta get out of New York and go to a nice rural southern town farmers market. Whole town square lined with different stalls and hardly any of the stalls are pushing Temu garbage. Its mostly genuine products from local members of the community, and sometimes people reselling from the Amish at an exorbitant rate.

@darqueef is typing...

[timber warren]

Im new here, Am I able to play the alpha?

[tawdry olive]

yes

[timber warren]

How??

[tawdry olive]

watch a vod from a famous twitch strimmer and hold a controller and mimic the movements

[timber warren]

??

[surreal nova]

Are you a farmer??

[shy flame]

Unfortunately, the alpha is over. I would follow marathon news thru official channels

[zenith thistle]

upstate ny, 3-4 markets that opperate weekly near me and NONE of it is temu garbage

[tawdry olive]

💀

[timber warren]

Dang. Sad I only found out about this game today. I’ll be ready now

lol was it rough?

[shy flame]

Not doing this here with someone who is willfully ignorant. Even in an essay I wrote as a freshman in 2017, I was able to cite sources on the curfews that were enforced at gunpoint preventing people from leaving their homes or entering certain areas IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. I get it, you can't read.

[tawdry olive]

💀

chat poppin off rn

[dreamy warren]

for 300 years yes

[shy flame]

You got this! The Marathon official twitter and Bungie dot net are the best ways to keep up.

I personally enjoyed the Alpha quite a bit and hope the full release lands gracefully, even if it requires a delay.

[dreamy warren]

same for ours... mmm local butcher

[shy flame]

Brother I wrote it in 2017 as a freshman in high school, you think its publicly available? Its okay to admit youre uninformed on a topic, but you don't get to play all innocent for not knowing while calling victims of genocides homes "free real estate" LOL

[shy flame]

Marathon but instead of having colonies they have farmers markets

[surreal nova]

Uh do you mean your family have been farmers for 300 years or is this a vampire farmer roleplay I didn’t know about

[wet herald]

the hell are we talkin about

[kindred vigil]

ion know

[ember warren]

idk either what we talm bout

[surreal nova]

Cows and pigs are friends not food

[wet herald]

So whats the deal with ARC? Folks are saying that the whole game comes out next week? Or is it just a playtest?

Whole game seems...unlikely

[rancid pebble]

damn this reminds me of corvid19 I can't believe I was as oppressed as the average gazan

[wet herald]

Damn, DOOM 1+2 on steam is such a mega L without mouselook

Time for some more classic Marathon

[austere zodiac]

Embark is known for shadow dropping The Finals during a random game expo with no marketing or announcement following a beta test

[wet herald]

Was reading into that! It could very well happen

[wraith lark]

So, what's the new perpetual argument today?

hope its something good

[wet herald]

somethin somethin politics, folks need to read the rules tho

[austere zodiac]

Nightreign is a great game but skill issues players will refund it

[shy flame]

Embark is also known for using AI voice acting and having a legion of fans go "uh well actually they HAD to use AI

[wraith lark]

so non-marathon stuff? Shame

[tidal harness]

Isn't nightreign just a boss rush?

[deep yacht]

Hallo

[smoky dome]

Why do I like brussels sprouts, but not cabbage?

[wet herald]

Think we are at week 2 and some change without any marathon news. Its.... not good.

[shy flame]

Cabbage >

[austere zodiac]

They chose to use AI, and they claimed they paid VAs to train the AI for ARC 🤷‍♀️

[tidal harness]

There is nothing to talk about it. Its either gonna release barebones, or delayed or cancelled.

[deep yacht]

Broccoli goated

[wraith lark]

brussels sprouts are condensed so easier to eat

[shy flame]

Look, if you're careful, you can spot one here now

[deep yacht]

Honestly i wished they didn't use Ai but the games still good

[shy flame]

Do you actually like Brussels sprouts tho

[austere zodiac]

Good thing no one here is careful

[shy flame]

Yall ever had grilled cabbage with some mustard?

[wraith lark]

I do, they're pretty nice steamed

[deep yacht]

That sounds tasy

[wraith lark]

or I just eat them raw like a madman

[forest laurel]

Isn’t that just sauerkraut on a hotdog?

[dreamy warren]

yes

[deep yacht]

Sonics long lost German cousin

[shy flame]

💀 let's compare

Cabbage in egg rolls, salads, just grilled by itself

Brussel sprouts in.. butter? Steam? Raw?

[rancid pebble]

for what reason tho other than cheapening a solid game with dog shit line reads from AI ?

[trim summit]

it comes with egg roll

[shy flame]

No like on a grill. With charcoal and fire. Not from a can 💀

[austere zodiac]

Small studio with not a lot of money wanting to have voiced characters

[rancid pebble]

they literally could have paid the devs to do temp voice work and the quality would have still been better than what the final product ended up being

[forest laurel]

Still eating like it’s world war 2

[wraith lark]

erbswurst?

[shy flame]

This. The excuse is always "uh what should they have recorded a billion lines?" Or "small indie company". Like uh instead of stealing the art of voice acting, they could just be creative? Its crazy how games for decades have innovated around limitations.

[dreamy warren]

they can be both. i had some of our own named dairy cows in my meatloaf tonight

[rancid pebble]

they're backed by fucking nexon they theyre nexons biggest Western partners I'm sure they could have asked for money if they wanted to

[austere zodiac]

What is Bungie’s excuse with Sony backing?

[shy flame]

They could have used text-to-speech or vocal synths and it would have been far more ethical

[austere zodiac]

I think AI is viewed differently by majorities in different countries

[wraith lark]

I will wait for the day where voicelines are in Morse code

Not even saying it as a dis, would love for a game to actually try to do that instead of using AI voicelines

[shy flame]

Did Embark compensate the thousands of VAs whose work was stolen to create the foundational LLM? Sure, they paid the handful of VAs who had models trained by Embark, but did they reach out or apologize for stealing the work of VAs worldwide for the development of generative AI voice work?

[austere zodiac]

What are you going to do about it?

[shy flame]

I think one of the Bioshock games starts with morse code. Maybe Infinite? Lol

[austere zodiac]

This is the future, and many more people will lose jobs and niches because of AI.

[dreamy warren]

i love bioshock. theres a thing about women and liking bioshock. do you know the hex girls

[shy flame]

"Uhhh what are you going to do about it" is such a nothing response. What are you going to do about Bungie stealing from Anti real? What are you going to do about the war in Iraq?

Hmm, well I will say that these things are bad and state my case. I will advocate for better treatment of people and artists across the globe. What kind of question is this?

[kindred vigil]

shut it and drop and give me 20

[wraith lark]

I know, but characters just speaking in morse full on or use something less human like gibber

[shy flame]

Why do you act appalled at Bungie's art theft and then celebrate the loss of VA artistry? You don't even have a real opinion.

[shy flame]

Give this They a True [Morgan freeman]

[nova whale]

consumer of talking point spits back talking point. No critical thinking between information that's been consumed

[ember warren]

neeyth can you do 20?

[wraith lark]

We have the vast creative powers of artificial intelligence but we choose to tread on the same old beaten paths. Least my look on things

[kindred vigil]

Yes

[rancid pebble]

I'll take a swedish accent over this shit any day man mfer sounds like hal 9000 https://youtu.be/2u0w86XGVtw?si=zN6_mDeXNSq-hWbu

[ember warren]

good job (i doubt it lowkey)

[cyan wasp]

Dead game

[shy flame]

Sighed at this btw. Yeah i know the hex girls. Every time I wear my hex girl shirt to a con or a mall I get some guy talking about how he really liked them growing up. And im like, "yeah i loved the hex girls one and the really old movie where they find aliens in New Mexico". But... they like them in a weird way. I just liked those movies lol
