[quick drum]

Played the f out of MMOs, nothing bad happened. Still play some in the winter

[ebon moss]

Why aren't there that many traditional mmo's on console
Like all I can think of is ff14

[quick drum]

I don't know, but most likely controls and the games not pausing while you browse the menus

And probably chat being a high point in them

[ebon moss]

fr, trying to type on console is pain

[quick drum]

I never had the urge to play MMOs on console, or fps, but I like action games on console and 3rd person stuff

[still oasis]

art raiders

[quick drum]

FPS and MMOs I see more of a keyboard mouse kind of a deal. I wouldn't bother myself using a controller for that

[ocean dragon]

i wonder how many more lawsuits bungie had if they would use ai for their art

[gleaming sundial]

Got my switch 2

they delivered it at 0655, out there early

[still oasis]

fewer

[quick drum]

So, do you like it?

[gleaming sundial]

idk it aint for me. i went to work

[ocean dragon]

cool so we cant play any bungie games go it why even post about it

[gleaming sundial]

it's for my kid

[quick drum]

Ah I'm sure he'll enjoy it

[ocean dragon]

yeah your kid gonna have fun with that

[gleaming sundial]

90% of the posts in this discord are about arc raiders lol

[unkempt parcel]

Awfully expensive gift for a kid

[ocean dragon]

because arc raiders is goated

[gleaming sundial]

I didn't get into the beta, but it looked great.

[ebon moss]

still wondering when if genshin ever releases on switch given its been 5 years since announcement and no news

[ocean dragon]

beta tomorrow

speculated

[ebon moss]

is arc f2p or payed?

[restive skiff]

Most of the real conversation stays in the alpha channel hahaha

[gleaming sundial]

his birthday was last month and i managed to snag a pre-order so that was his gift.

[ocean dragon]

40$ sprculated

[quick drum]

Awesome gift, you're an awesome parent

[unkempt parcel]

How old is he

[unkempt parcel]

DOA

[ebon moss]

probably will be more expensive in uk

[gleaming sundial]

14

[ocean dragon]

doesent matter i really hope the game isnt free cant with these cheaters in f2p games

[unkempt parcel]

Pc gaming in a nutshell

[ocean dragon]

you say this as if most games dont have crossplay

[ebon moss]

at least a benefit of marathon being paid means less cheaters, but means a lot less people try it

[unkempt parcel]

You don’t see console people use wall hacks do you

[gleaming sundial]

Thanks, he's super pumped about it. I normally don't go wild like that for birthdays but I wasn't sure what the availability would be like towards christmas, ect with all the tariffs happening so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

[ocean dragon]

destiny 2 is a good example, ever since it went f2p they had massive issues in trials with cheaters

[ebon moss]

fr, as soon as crossplay launched I saw a lot of people switch from pc to ps5 and series X

[ocean dragon]

thats not my point, the point is if the game has crossplay its your problem aswell

[unkempt parcel]

I don’t get why pc people feel the need to cheat. Defeats the purpose of playing the game.

[somber nest]

Trials of osiris is infested with cheaters

[ebon moss]

but it is really funny when they leave hacks on whilst streaming

[somber nest]

90% of them are from China

[quick drum]

There's cheating on console too

[unkempt parcel]

Let’s take wordle as an example. If I were to look up the 5 letter word for the day what was the point of me even playing?

[gleaming sundial]

Warzone forcing crossplay was the worst thing too

[ocean dragon]

we know, the west doesent care about the chinese cheating mafia

[quick drum]

There isn't any proper anti cheat device or technology unless everything is running server side and the game doesn't have any weaknesses

[gleaming sundial]

I mean yeah there are xim/cronus users, but thats more using scripts vs straight up cheating.

a cronus won't give you walls or aimbot

[unkempt parcel]

I don’t care about ximmers etc it’s not as destructive as wall hacks or if you take gta online for example spawning in idk nukes .

[ebon moss]

console is less hacks and more exploits

[quick drum]

PC users are the same they some even run custom signed drivers

[unkempt parcel]

Make it a crime to cheat in video games. Start knocking on doors

Start charging them money if found guilty

[ocean dragon]

there are ever hesrd of dfho they will kernel level block your serial number of your gpu, so that gpu when scanned will never be sble to start the game

[gleaming sundial]

I'm primarily a PC gamer, well aware.

[ebon moss]

i mean i already get arrested for infinite money glitch (for legal reasons this is a joke)

[unkempt parcel]

Punish countries where there are more cheaters

[ocean dragon]

no punish the cheat makers

[unkempt parcel]

Both

[gleaming sundial]

lol dude we don't even have the resources to go after r*pists. there is no way.

[somber nest]

There’s a way to fix this issue by make not making pvp mode f2p

[unkempt parcel]

Why do you feel the need to cheat

[quick drum]

In MMOs You get less cheating due to everything being verified server side, though you still get some speed hacks from time to time

[ocean dragon]

you gotta remove the issue at the source, banning an individual for using cheats but not getting rid of the source will never fix the issue

[ebon moss]

this is reminding me of when bungie sued that cheating site just before beyond light launched and they had a meltdown

[unkempt parcel]

Banning is nothing

[ocean dragon]

i think there should be laws

[ebon moss]

trials requires Final Shape ownership

[ocean dragon]

you cheat you can get jailtime, that would massivley give devs an advantage against cheaters

[quick drum]

Until you get raided cause your kid cheated at some game, or your IP was used to cheat in games 😂

[gleaming sundial]

this is unenforcable and a pipe dream.

[still oasis]

lmao they took trials away from people who were already playing it?

[ebon moss]

LFG 5m raid on cheater, must have Ghorn

[gleaming sundial]

gonna have police squads kick down people's doors because their kid downloaded fortnite cheats?

insane police state shit you are wishing for

[ebon moss]

trials has required the most recent dlc since beyond light

[somber nest]

I didn’t know that, i stopped playing d2 after light fall

[quick drum]

I'd rather let the people cheat 🙂

[ocean dragon]

no its more like, if the rule exists lawyers have an essier time stopping cheat devs making cheats

[gleaming sundial]

same lmao. our rights are already being stripped away

[gleaming sundial]

the precident in law already exists w/r/t the bungie case. it just costs money to take people to court

[glacial bane]

what about hw and platform ban

and IP ban

[vestal zealot]

Marathon fina be destiny DLC and I would rather it be that than a stand-alone title

[ocean dragon]

they have that for delta force hawk ops, doesent work

[quick drum]

You can always run fake drivers and report random hw codes

[ebon moss]

one of the few times bungie was in the right

[storm glade]

This is useless

[ebon moss]

that and the youtube case

[glacial bane]

ok what about community service in an old peoples home

[quick drum]

Anyway even if you get cheated on no biggie life goes on. Is tbh the most of it

[ebon moss]

what about cleaning petes car collection

[glacial bane]

wonderful idea

[gleaming sundial]

I play Tarkov and just have to accept that it's part of the game, whatever, it sucks but the good outweighs the bad. Every online shooter has a cheating problem rn.

[ocean dragon]

depends, alot of people are playing battlefront 2 rn and its being made unplayable by cheaters

[vestal zealot]

I heard marathons production manager is the raid boss in edge of fate

[shy flame]

Lf1 cheater for private matches so I can relive the glory days of good lighting on crucible maps

[gleaming sundial]

Wonder if my kid is going to have to deal with cheaters in mario kart world

[quick drum]

If it's a professional setting and competition I'm sure you can have an environment without cheats. If it's an online case it doesn't matter much and the chester might face a lot more risk for them cheats, being exposed to keylogging and who knows what

[gleaming sundial]

Got that game shark for switch 2 already set up

[ebon moss]

reminding me of when bakengangsta got caught cheating and dmg destroyed him on twitter

[gleaming sundial]

to use tarkov cheats you basically have to install a backdoor into your machine. it's insane

[vestal zealot]

GameShark woah there pops

[gleaming sundial]

lmao scroll up. i was talking about getting a switch 2 for my 14 year old.

[vestal zealot]

I haven’t heard GameShark since 1998

[gleaming sundial]

yeah i was 12

i found my NES game genie going through some old boxes a year or two ago

and my game gear game genie

[vestal zealot]

The glory days of beating final fantasy with a lvl 99 and 9999 health with 99 strength

[quick drum]

Though I will say this a lot of cheating is the result of server side authoritive software lowering checks or feeding to much information in order to offload work from the server to the client

[gleaming sundial]

using the gameboy game genie to get infinite rare candies in pokemon red

[quick drum]

The more you rely on a client doing the work the more open it is to cheating

[ebon moss]

can remember using an action replay on a bunch of my old 3ds games

[gleaming sundial]

I mean yeah it's just a result of late stage capitalism. They could fix the cheating problem it would just cost money the companies aren't willing to spend.

[ebon moss]

the only other way I've seen is putting a barrier to entry to the game

[vestal zealot]

Some games deserve to be cheated on, one minute your enjoying a good exploit next thing you know it’s updated and theirs a wall where there was a hole you use to love traveling thru and now your mad.all.the.time

[gleaming sundial]

Hell people cheat like hell in Tarkov because there's a real life financial incentive to do it and minimum you have to pay $50 to play.

[pallid shoal]

there's always going to be people who don't care about fair play and people who want to make a little money doing the programming challenge of writing cheats

[gleaming sundial]

People will buy Tarkov accounts with kappa or tracksuit, or a full stash of gear, from the cheaters

[pallid shoal]

ya, how do you make in-game gear valuable enough for players to work for but not attractive for account sellers

[ebon moss]

luckily the financial incentive to cheat in marathon is gonna be so low the cheaters will stay away

[gleaming sundial]

lmao real

[still oasis]

retvrn to arena shooters where gear isn't persistent

[ebon moss]

wait does tarkov reset gear per season?

[echo shuttle]

all gear is wiped every wipe

they made cosmetic acheivement like tracksuit not wiped tho. Its a very hard quest to complete

have to kill killa(boss) 100 times which has a low spawn rate and alot of spawn points on interchange

[pallid shoal]

americans do fixate on fair play way more than most of the world. everywhere else they're more honest about rich people and cheaters spoiling endgame for everyone.

that's part of why we hate gachas while they succeed so well elsewhere

[quick drum]

https://youtube.com/shorts/0vp85Cvj2nw gta6 cooked 💀

[gleaming sundial]

Yeah but it doesn't stop losers from buying gear or roubles.

I looked at some website and it's like $10 for a few kits which you could lose in an hour. insane stuff

[ebon moss]

im just now imagining some russian guy spending their irl roubles for in game roubles

[pallid shoal]

i mean what's your hour worth? if it would take you a week to build up that kit or you could spend $10 to have it now, which would you do?

[echo shuttle]

Yeah rmt is pretty bad and im surprised people do it in an extraction shooter.

[echo shuttle]

Get good

[gleaming sundial]

i could built the kit in 30 seconds

once you get good at tarkov its not hard to get gear or money

and if you aren't good that kit isn't going to save you from getting killed by a skilled player

it's really stupid

[echo shuttle]

I mean tbh you dont even have to be good at tarkov to make money. Do a couple loot runs or some shit avoiding all contact hitting stash runs or something and you can make money

the idea of spending irl money for kits is just bizarre lol

[shy flame]

Guys im eepy, and ive been sleeping with a ladybug plush recently. Starting to think I should cave and buy Blahaj, is he at every IKEA

[gleaming sundial]

Yeah it's crazy to me.

[echo shuttle]

you arnt even playing tarkov at that point. Go play tarkov arena or something

[pallid shoal]

maybe it's something about the indirect gambling in "will you extract" that attracts a certain kind of player more inclined to that kind of rmt skip

[gleaming sundial]

It's not even a skip though

Gear isn't that important in Tarkov. It certainly helps, but map knowledge/game knowledge is so much more important.

i can kill someone just as easy with a bolt action mosin as I can with a fully kitted m4

[pallid shoal]

searches related to Blahaj on duck duck go: why do femboys like blahaj

[echo shuttle]

I can get by spending money for a genshin character cause ATLEAST you keep that person and dont lose it in a couple of months. But spending money on a kit that you can literally lose a few minutes in your next raid is just bizarre

[pallid shoal]

sure but if you sucked at it and were compulsively addicted to the game?

idk i'm trying to understand it

[echo shuttle]

but people are dumb so ig it doesnt surprise me actually. And people have terrible spending habits so ig it makes sense to them

i dont think there is understanding dumb

[quick drum]

Y care about how people spend their money?

[ember warren]

they support bad things

[quick drum]

Get out of muh pockets

[gleaming sundial]

Yeah using the RMT market in Tarkov supports cheating directly.

[ember warren]

ding ding!

[gleaming sundial]

Do what most people do and get good lmao. It's just a brutally difficult game and takes hundreds of hours to understand it. Hell i'm at 2500 hours and still learn stuff every now and then.

[quick drum]

Probably better to be wondering how to get your own dough then how to spend it, then what other people do with theirs. Much more productive

[gleaming sundial]

Who cares of people buy skins or p2w stuff offered by devs, but when the money is going directly into the pockets of cheat makers and folks who hack accounts to gain access to sell them on the grey market there's a morality issue.

hackers will gain access to accounts, then sell those accounts to cheaters, who use the accounts to RMT until they get banned

[pallid shoal]

i'm sure there's also just rich kids who will deny up and down they're always buying skips and power because they can't stand someone else having something better than them but they can't fathom earning it

[gleaming sundial]

that's like saying oh who cares if people are buying fentanyl it's their money who cares how they spend it

[quick drum]

You can only morality check and control yourself not others

We going into philosophy and my dune game is about to unlock, so I'm gonna be back later

[echo shuttle]

Dont entertain that guy. He has very twisted logic in every conversation you have with him.

[flat depot]

Deltarune tomorrow

[pallid shoal]

oh i thought that was today

[quick drum]

just wait until someone comes to purity check your morality and how you spend yo dollaz 😉

[echo shuttle]

What is deltarune? a game?

[pallid shoal]

sequel to undertale

[echo shuttle]

oh i neverplayed but ive heard alot about undertale

[flat depot]

Deltarune mañana

[flat depot]

Its not a sequel tho

[pallid shoal]

idc it's in the same story and not a different kind of game

[flat depot]

Its not the same story

[pallid shoal]

first sentence of the steam description: "Dive into the parallel story to UNDERTALE!"

[flat depot]

Not same story

[pallid shoal]

omg idc

[flat depot]

Yeah u do

[pallid shoal]

only because your pedantry is unhelpful

[honest bough]

I think it's funny people would even do this.

It wipes regularly, and the game isn't even hard.

Tarkov isn't hard, it's just grindy

[vivid flower]

fuck TARKOV

[pallid shoal]

it could be one of those things where there isn't really even a big market for selling, but the cheating is so easy it's a way to get extra bucks for beer and breakfast

[flat depot]

Yeah u do

[quick drum]

MoRaL MaNiPuLAtIoN lol

Is manipulation and social coercement moral? 🙂 i'll let ya'll decide ;]

[river storm]

it’s so odd to me that instead of releasing a new warbond trailer for helldivers during state of play, they released it a day after state of play.

they probs had a valid reason but for me rn it’s hard to understand.

[lucid plank]

Same sorta for not even Destiny 2 getting a spot for Edge of Fate. Marathon I can understand, but not even a spot for D2?

[pallid shoal]

SOP is a lot of high gloss stuff, they prob have that stuff locked in months early

[river storm]

well i guess edge of fate wouldn’t have made much sense. the DLC isn’t particularly massive and they already showed it all off during their own reveal a few weeks back. there’s not much they can show there if they wanna keep some stuff up for surprise.

[lucid plank]

idk like 70% of the SOP catalog felt uninteresting to me, plus literally ghost of yotei had a trailer for a trailer

[river storm]

probably. i just think many would’ve rather seen new helldivers content instead of a game about a manchild in a onesie who can’t walk straight.

[lucid plank]

Was only really bought by Pragmata and James Bond

[gleaming sundial]

the castlevania style game looked sick

[river storm]

for me it was only silent hill f, pragmata, that one multiplayer story game from the road 96 folks and that one sea of thieves clone as well as cairn

but yeah im mad that they released a trailer for a yotei trailer, showed off a yotei skin in astrobot beforehand and then before all that they showed that one game where you gotta control the limbs of a guy so he can walk

like the latter just sounds like one of those random 2.99€ steam games you come across while looking for new stuff to play

[pallid shoal]

the youtube vid of the whole thing is janked up for me so i just looked at the polygon page full of the standalone trailer vids

[honest bough]

The hit stop in silent hill f looks so bizarre

[pallid shoal]

ya it's way too action-game-y, less of a meaty flinch, but they haven't known how to make a silent hill game for years

[graceful oak]

Ni

[honest bough]

Seems antithetical to the mood of the game

[vivid flower]

guys what is dune awakening? see a lot of hype around it

[quick drum]

waiting on it to unlock, looks good to me;

some sort of base builder survival thing

[vivid flower]

yeah i just went on twitch and seen a bunch of ppl waiting for it, first time hearing about it haha

[glacial bane]

isn't it mmo also

[river storm]

guys there’s been content on that game out for a while. the sandworms look amazing but the combat is horrible.

[quick drum]

i don't know tbh, FC doesn't label it as a mmo

[vivid flower]

yeah im bout to watch some gameplay and see.

im really tempted about buying rust. its been in my steam cart for 5 years lmao but idk if thats a drug addiction i wanna start LOL

[river storm]

i had really high hopes for it but got let down majorly.

[quick drum]

It might be too few content, and too loopy to be a mmo

[vivid flower]

i heard it was MMO as well

[quick drum]

it is massive online with servers, but heavily instanced

[lucid plank]

not a rust fan at all tbh

sweats in that game make it easy to dislike

[glacial bane]

how many players would be reasonable to encounter on an instance then

[quick drum]

it's a maybe MMOFPS

[vivid flower]

but they have PVE right? or just PVP?

[quick drum]

from what i hear less than 100

[glacial bane]

cause they said hundreds of players

[lucid plank]

even the pve focused servers i've ran into griefers

more than 50% of the time

[quick drum]

but i haven't watched any content on it, so i'm just diving in

[vivid flower]

ah damn thats crazy players can still kill you in pve

[lucid plank]

there's nothing stopping them outside of the server rules

[glacial bane]

🏜️

[quick drum]

i look forward to building some bases and shooting, i'm all in for pvp too but the desert might be kind of harsh

[glacial bane]

can you team up with guilds and do missions and stuff

[quick drum]

yep; also shared buildings

it's i guess a mix of survival, base building, manufacturing and shooting

in a dune universe; encouraging cooperation

[glacial bane]

mmo is a nebulous term anyway. just call it a multiplayer survival game and be done with it

who cares about size 😏

[serene prism]

Sup chat

[quick drum]

for sure; thats a lot more accurate; there's also private servers and stuff like that unlike mmos

[unkempt snow]

Oh shit i genuine I got the first class yes

[somber nest]

Do I get final shape dlc too if I pre order new destiny 2 dlc

[ebon moss]

No

But it is free rn on psplus

[somber nest]

I use steam

[still oasis]

you can't tie your shoes in d2 without paying $20 or $40 for something or other

[ember mountain]

It’s a pay to play game

I pretty much don’t have anything I paid for 3 years ago

I can’t even use the ornament for dust rock blues

I forgot I even had one for it

Bungie has been a joke since 2021

[still oasis]

i hope more sandfall interactives come around to sell set amounts of entertainment in exchange for set amounts of money

[magic rose]

☝️ ✌️
✌️ 👉

[ebon moss]

Im at a loss for words

[long nexus]

Marathon?

[quick drum]

✌️

[oak badger]

No way would it had been….Bungie probably still scrubbing art and Bungie is independent, so they’re propping majority of the marketing

[sharp stone]

nope lowercase

literally a case of go woke go broke 💔

[topaz comet]

anyone see the trailer for Alien: Earth ?

if not stop living under a rock and go watch it

[fast iris]

Saw the teaser trailer

[topaz comet]

ridley scott is back

[long nexus]

I saw an alien on earth if that’s what you mean

I was in my trailer as well so I am confused!!!

[sharp stone]

when i saw the news on my wireless cellular communication device that 0 marathon at state of play, erm it was bad news

[long nexus]

Bungie I’m the wormhole hopefully coming out the other rear end

[topaz comet]

marathon is cooked but im still buying it

im not shilling it anymore bungie have given me nothing to work with

[long nexus]

I can buy myself marathon cope, seethe and mald for a brand

[glacial bane]

from the grave? I thought he died years ago

[long nexus]

Lmao

[topaz comet]

🧍‍♂️

[sharp stone]

would be cool if void gets a straight skin when marathon launches

[somber nest]

Games not cancelled?

[proud glade]

no

[sharp stone]

unfortunately

[glacial bane]

looks nice 👍

[still oasis]

yeah it is but not yet announced

[fleet thicket]

Real 😭

How they fuck this game up THIS MUCH its crazy.

[uncut coyote]

@woven radish cancel the game

[dreamy crow]

agh

[native lodge]

Is there beta testing at all

[dreamy crow]

i wish people were aware there are options to not engage or join on things when they are not interested

[native lodge]

ok?

[still oasis]

simply don't engage or join on people engaging or joining on things when they are not interested

[placid coral]

Any Beta tests for Eu as well or is it not happening?

[dreamy crow]

its hard to ignore when its daily but thats valid

[native lodge]

Ive been trying to find that out aswell

[glacial bane]

you could also choose to engage or join on people engaging or joining on things when they are not interested in engaging or joining people engaging or joining on things when they are not interested

[pallid shoal]

wash yer mitts!

[ember crater]

Well its just one sided usually

[spring kite]

this game is dead

[ember crater]

Wdym I love inhaling aluminum shavings deposited on my hands

Itll make me stronger

[magic rose]

hasnt even released but personally i doubt itll be good, whole stealing a guy's art thing and the lackluster gameplay ive seen makes me believe that

[spring kite]

i had such high hopes, it feels like a bad breakup

[magic rose]

lmao same, i was excited for this cuz it seemed unique but.. it is still Bungie

[spring kite]

real i fear

[ember crater]

Hey look im no optimist but let something actually die before throwing a funeral damn lol

[gleaming sundial]

a kid at my highschool drunk drove his car into a pole and killed the guy in the passenger seat. the judge made the driver attend a mock funeral for himself, after the dead friends funeral. just sayin

there might be an allegory here where bungie management is the drunk driver and the friend are the devs who give a shit about the game

[ember crater]

Sir this is a Wendy's

[glacial bane]

Hopefully all that will inspire the devs to do a better job and deliver the goods 🤞

[gleaming sundial]

can i get uhh

[magic rose]

eh i mean im realistic, wont be excited for this game but if it comes out and its good then sure ill play it

[sharp stone]

its pretty woke too had to put lipstick on a guy lol

[ember crater]

But to equate a mock funeral appointed by a judge to a yet to be released game is kinda unhinged ngl.

[magic rose]

what do you mean.. "had to" ..

[glacial bane]

Hi realistic, im optimist nice to meet u 🤝

[sharp stone]

they "had to" look at void he almost had a normal appearance

[tulip sedge]

Where's my Apple Car, Tim.

[ember crater]

Thats the approach I have. Game will be evaluated at launch. It doesnt look good right now but to call it dead before is kinda silly

[magic rose]

apple car better have a V12 6L 700hp naturally aspirated engine

[glacial bane]

Do you really think a thousand years from now guys still wont wear lipstick. Get over urselves

[gleaming sundial]

that's just like your opinion, man

[ember crater]

I didnt even call Anthem dead before launch and I saw all the writing on the wall from the early playtest

[glacial bane]

What car

[gleaming sundial]

the last marathon dev stream may have well been a funeral

[magic rose]

yeah all signs point to a trash game but that never means it actually will be, personally im looking at Dune and Arc to fill the void until GTA 6 comes out

[quick drum]

he means iCar

[gleaming sundial]

apple releases a car and puts the charging port underneath it like their stupid mouse

[ember crater]

Plus you have, albeit rare, examples of games coming out and fixing their mistakes. FF14 being a specific example of a historic rerelease from a critically panned game. No mans sky another.

[magic rose]

they should just make it a diesel car to absolutely shock everyone

[glacial bane]

oh we'll probably make autonomous taxis run on Siri before making personal vehicles, much safer

[gleaming sundial]

lmao. diesel cars are super efficient so why not

diesel, 6 speed manual only

[candid talon]

I'm sure they're slaving away and going through the feedback they got from the alpha lol

[gleaming sundial]

would be nice for them to say that's what they are doing vs radio silent for 3 weeks

[magic rose]

enviromentalists will go "ermm but the enviroment!!" meanwhile the electricity powering the tesla's coming from the oil generators and the batteries being mined by children

[tulip sedge]

hey man... don't insult that genius design.

[sharp stone]

erm my side is right and everyone that disagrees is the bad guys. see? we call them bad guys which makes us good

[candid talon]

It looks like they added planet side settlements etc which seems to be getting closer to tech for full blown cities lol

[quartz abyss]

😭😭😭 i just feel like sheat 24/7 😭

[ember warren]

You got this I believe in you it does Infact happen the best of us dw

[magic rose]

personally i never enjoyed the game, idk if im just missing out and im stupid but it feels so arcadey and simple to me

[gleaming sundial]

"Ok the front port has worked for decades....how can we innovate it!?" "How about we make it impossible to use the mouse while it charges?" "Give this man a raise"

[magic rose]

dont forget the worse propietary connectors which avoid every standard in the industry

[gleaming sundial]

Children love minecraft therefore children love to mine rare earth metals

[tulip sedge]

first we mine, then we craft

[glacial bane]

The children yearns for the mines

[magic rose]

i say we put children back into factories

[gleaming sundial]

my favorite thing about EVs is when they wreck they produce a special kind of magical fire that regular firefighters can't do anything about

Tbf at least you don't drive a car while you charge it

[dreamy warren]

Ganna put my white foam all over it 💦

[gleaming sundial]

[dreamy warren]

I'm an apple hater 💀 never said I was for it

[tulip sedge]

now there's a problem we need to solve. we need to make a super long cable so that we can tether to our car while driving.

[dreamy warren]

Bro got upset over nothing 🥀

[magic rose]

BMW owners used to it already to check for oil leaks

[gleaming sundial]

well there's your problem. BMW owner. Everyone knows you lease BMWs.

[dreamy crow]

lol

[dreamy warren]

I'm going to put a gas generator and strap it to the roof of an electric vehicle so I can charge it on the go

[gleaming sundial]

Drive it for 3 years and then make it someone elses problem

[tulip sedge]

[gleaming sundial]

sorry ur poor

[dreamy warren]

And couldn't buy a glorified tablet?

[magic rose]

nah but seriously whats the point of a switch 2 besides being worse than a steam deck

[dreamy warren]

Sorry a tablet with controllers 💔🥀 I bought a house this month instead

[dreamy crow]

whats w the delinking and all the hurdles w the switch 2?

do you really need the switch 1 to transfer all the licenses?

[gleaming sundial]

it has a better screen for one and exclusives you can't play anywhere else.

why would i buy a steam deck when I have a nice gaming laptop?

[magic rose]

i REALLYYY do NOT need nintendo exclusives

[glacial bane]

John switch 2

[dreamy warren]

What exclusive does Nintendo have that I would even bother playing?

[magic rose]

i have a 2k desktop and still see the value in a steam deck, specially due to my 500+ games steam account

[dreamy crow]

we all gangsta until they announce the next zelda. ill wait for the switch 2 when i see metroid 4

[gleaming sundial]

cool i have a $2800 desktop

[ember crater]

Nah im happy with my OLED Steamdeck. Its actually a Linux machine so I can do much more with it and I dont care for any Nintendo slop exclusives

[gleaming sundial]

higher res than a steam deck, 1080 for the switch 2

[dreamy crow]

ooof

i charge 5 dollars for my decals on artstation i only ask for credits maybe some more people will buy😭

[magic rose]

i mean the artist's art is basically the entire artstyle of teh game

[dreamy crow]

yea no im not going through this today lol

[pure ridge]

Has it delayed anything or any future tests?

I just wanna play.

[gleaming sundial]

lmao. this game is not going to be selling new copies 6 months after release let alone 5 years.

[ember crater]

The problem (and I dont hear many people here actually mention it) is that they now have to audit all their art to see if they have taken art from OTHER artists that isn't Antireal.

Auditing all of the art assets takes time, and even more if they find more stolen art.

[gleaming sundial]

the extraction shooter market is pretty small

[magic rose]

my estimations:

launch player count on steam: 12.400

1 week later: 2.300

1 month later: 1600

3 months later: 500

[candid talon]

Lmao theres so many other artists that have a similar art style to antireal theres a whole collective and different groups that do glitch art and stuff lol. Like them peeps who sell tech wear called dvstrial

[gleaming sundial]

destiny players are gonna keep playing destiny. extraction shooter players are going to keep playing their preferred game.

[dreamy crow]

ive been into this artstyle since 2013 😂

[magic rose]

i mean extraction shooter as a genre has a very dry market rn, its basically tarkov and that free mobile game tarkov

everything else flopped on release or is niche

[gleaming sundial]

nobody is saying they stole the style. they stole specific pieces of her art.

[pure ridge]

All of these words mean little to a shitter-stomper like me. Hunt, Cycle, Tarkov....10k hrs total across those, and I want some new stomping boots to wear.

[ember crater]

Its not about style. It never was. The style narrative is only brought up by braindead discord users.

Its 1:1 theft.

[gleaming sundial]

predator handshake gif

[fickle shell]

Until tomorrow. When we can play arc again 💪

[gleaming sundial]

yeah im a tarkov main and ARC has me excited

[magic rose]

yeah ARC is definitely the most interesting take on extraction shooters ive seen in a while

[ember crater]

Its so frustrating how much I have to bring this up

[magic rose]

same, or atleast i used to be

[fickle shell]

Sadly antireal kind of shot themselves in the foot by coming forward. If Bungie never profited off of the use I'm not sure it rly matters

[gleaming sundial]

even after bungie admitted to stealing her art pieces directly.

[candid talon]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d9/d8/ed/d9d8edf5caeea601c75de33177d0ee39.gif like this is a similar art style

So its not just antireal

Also @ember crater I'm talking about this post that I'm replying to

[magic rose]

well i mean, idk if my memory serves right here but it seemed like even the colors were basically ripped from antireal

[ember crater]

I dont think Antireal was out to make money. They werent gonna wait until Bungie made a profit because fighting in court would be really hard and not worh it. Trying to argue damages for decals cant be easy

They said themselves they werent in a position to take them to court

[dreamy crow]

im tired of people moodboarding my feelings

[fickle shell]

I don't think they were either, just food for thought for everyone trying to say they should be paid. It essentially amounted to a whoopsie since nothing was sold to players

[ember crater]

Yeah. Ive mentioned the same, its a blessing this happened in Alpha

[dreamy crow]

lets fight all the corporations! viva la resistance

[surreal nova]

Chat is back in art theft era

[ember crater]

It never left

[dreamy crow]

yall caught the new fortnite stuff?

[candid talon]

Yeah you can get pregnant in fortnite now

[fickle shell]

Was almost a blessing that the art thing happened lol. Everyone forgot that players didn't like the game. Reports of Sony pulling the marketing happened before the art fiasco lol

[pallid shoal]

what did they announce an announcement in two weeks?

[candid talon]

🫃

[dreamy crow]

im pregnant with taco

[magic rose]

should just take after Fight Club and bomb the banks

[surreal nova]

My friend waited in line until 2am to get a switch 2 yesterday. I wake up this morning and he’s playing Splitgate 2 on Xbox lmao

[candid talon]

Lmfao

[dreamy crow]

nah i need the bank. sadly

[magic rose]

nintendo rly knows how to milk their audience for all they got while delivering nothing meaningful

[pallid shoal]

ya is the new mario kart even fun? it looks like they just removed interesting courses so people can't express skill

[dreamy crow]

play where is my mind by pixies tho

[candid talon]

Stores were cancelling preorders and had people line up to get one. I'll wait til someone figures out how to jailbreak one or when the emulator comes out cause nintendo is scummy as hell LMAO

[dreamy crow]

they are fun when you have friends over for bbq

[ember crater]

Yeah people forget that what happened to Concord wasnt bad press. It died because of indifference. Marathon's negativity gets people talking about the game though. Y'know what they say about no such thing as bad press

[magic rose]

store i work in has 5 year old nintendo games being sold for 60 euros, absolutely insane

[candid talon]

They never bring prices down LOL

[dreamy crow]

damn i like your opinions/perspective

[ember crater]

I usually think my opinions suck so thsts good to knw

[fickle shell]

Nah ur on point imo

[magic rose]

they can 😉

[fickle shell]

Only thing now is to see if Sony wants them to fail to push leadership out. Since it's in their contract. With most people thinking it needs more time to cook it's curious that it hasn't been delayed

[soft swan]

i could never justify a switch 2. it’s such an outrageous price/performance

[soft swan]

funny about splitgate

[fickle shell]

Agreed. And I'm someone who normally would have preordered it. Not this time

[magic rose]

tbh its not even that, nintendo makes mediocre games and occasionally a decent game but because they have a monopoly on the IP's people keep shoveling money for them just to play the latest title that they made exclusive for their shitbox 3000

[soft swan]

yeah, steam os handhelds are peak

[soft swan]

100%, overly expensive handheld with one platform of 80$ mid games

[fickle shell]

Lol love when people clown objective facts 😂

[magic rose]

yeah i could buy one rn and have my library of 300 games where atleast half are instantly playable on steamdeck

[soft swan]

but people need their slightly remastered pokimon/mario cart game with a couple more textures for 80$

[sly salmon]

I would never pay 80 dollars for a mario game when every mario game is either a rip off of super mario or mario 64

[gleaming sundial]

that's like saying every fps is a rip off of doom or quake

[glacial sleet]

so is game dead?

[sly salmon]

I don't think you realize what you posted is a fact

[gleaming sundial]

so bioshock is a rip off of doom?

[magic rose]

difference is the only FPS games that dare to go 80 dollars are piece of shit games like COD, other actually GOOD fps games are either free or sub 30 bucks

[thorn plank]

First person shooters used to be called "Doom-likes"

[soft swan]

not when it’s the same company pushing out a retitled version of their same game

[gleaming sundial]

but they are different?

mechanically similar but different story and gameplay elements

Marathon is a Tarkov ripoff am i right

[sly salmon]

I was jk but mario is way worse it's like blatant that mario sunshine and mario galaxy 1 and 2 are just straight spiritual successors to mario 64.

[surreal nova]

Yeah it’s just “this machine plays Nintendo IP”

[quartz knot]

Marathon wishes it would be 1/10th of a tarkov ripoff

[gleaming sundial]

i found them all to be fun to play though

[gleaming sundial]

Marathon needs to take some notes from Tarkov for sure.

[surreal nova]

Nintendo games are fun though

[sly salmon]

Yes which is why $80 for another mario 64 successor is crazy

[gleaming sundial]

Tarkov is my main game

[pallid shoal]

any music that isn't banging rocks together is derivative and worthless (except dreamtheater!)

[quartz knot]

I left it for DayZ which imo is superior

[wet herald]

Casuals wouldnt touch it

[magic rose]

well i cant hate on nintendo fans, its like buying a tesla and having elon spank you with paid updates and u taking it like a good boy because u love elon

[thorn plank]

that's why it's called rock music

[quartz knot]

Casuals don’t matter sorry to tell you

[gleaming sundial]

I mean whatever if you don't like it, don't buy it. If you look at games in the past adjusted for inflation they cost well over $100

[wet herald]

yeah they actually do. As a hardcore tarkov player, the casuals are the lifeblood of the game.

[gleaming sundial]

Dude for real. I try to help new players whenever I can.

[wet herald]

You still need the masses, a game cant survive off of a small hardcore player base.

[wet herald]

Exactly.

[quartz knot]

Casuals are only good for YouTube shorts that’s it. Marathon being super casual isn’t going to work for anyone

[gleaming sundial]

Yeah you need the new players to stick with the game and get decent or else it boils down into a sweat fest. Stomping newbies gets old

[sly salmon]

After expedition 33 my new max for a game is 50 dollars except for GTA 6. I'll just quit AAA games.

[wet herald]

The game is already super casual. Just look at the TTK and the revive system, it literally doesnt get anymore casual than that.

[pallid shoal]

hey how much does it cost to get tarkov complete rn?

[gleaming sundial]

wydm? It costs $50 for the base edition.

[magic rose]

reason why i stopped is the hardcore players, or people that sit playing like genuine degenerates by sitting in bushes until someone steps on their spiderweb to snatch them up so their 30 minutes of walking overencumbered after winning 3 PVP battles was all for nothing

[sly salmon]

Expedition 33 proves you can sell a game for 50 bucks

[pallid shoal]

i just don't know

[quartz knot]

Yeah youre right I agree, im saying it shouldn’t be casual atleast not nearly as casual as it is right now.

[gleaming sundial]

They sell other editions where you get in game items and shit for more money, but basic cost to entry is $50

[wet herald]

Thats Tarkov for you, I got a couple thousand hours. I love Tarkov but look at Tarkovs financials, theyre in huge trouble, they cant retain players, BSG spent all of their money attending cons and they have nothing to show for it.

[gleaming sundial]

They blew a ton of money on Arena, a game nobody asked for.

[quick drum]

dune thing not that bad so far, definetly not an mmo, 0% mmo bloodline, basic survival and crafting dune themed, not an AAA, but more like a BBB

[quartz knot]

Yeah arena didn’t need to happen

[magic rose]

i got 1k, tried my very best to get so far as i could and i had a blast but the game is genuienly not healthy for me mentally because of the immense amount of bullshit that happens

[wet herald]

Never touched it, I like organic pvp.

[gleaming sundial]

the only reason I play arena is to do dailies/weeklies to get ref4 and buy his OP items

you can buy 140 rounds of sp6 every reset for like 15 gp coins

[quartz knot]

Ref having m80 at like LL2 was such a economy killer

[magic rose]

thought id love it, but tarkov's PVP is so janky and unpredictable that its a terrible game if u make it all about the PVP

[gleaming sundial]

it's level 3, but yeah

[gleaming sundial]

it's the desync, lol. arena really highlights the desync issue

[magic rose]

yeah but theres also major differences in how much skill some guns take, u could easily one tap people with a shotgun aslong as u aim at the general head area if they arent wearing the right armor

[wet herald]

The last thing we need is folks trying to gatekeep this game and trying to turn it into something it cant be at this point. It was supposed to be much more hardcore during the 2023 era but they pivoted to this hero approach, which I dont necessarily agree with. At the end of the day, this game needs better accessibility than a game like Tarkov. Its a live service model game, it needs a healthy playerbase every season to invest in the Battle Pass + MTX.

[quartz knot]

Flechette is the best a man can get

[gleaming sundial]

It's a really fine line to walk and I've said off the jump they are making a game for an audience that doesn't really exist.

[magic rose]

from what i can tell ARC seems to be taking it the right way, havent played it ofc but based off the feedback it sounds like the game has the right TTK and the right amount of pure terror

[gleaming sundial]

If they made Marathon along the same casual lines of COD: DMZ it would be solid imo

[wet herald]

ARC is cool and has more extraction shooter DNA than this game has. The combat in this game is much more BR than it is extraction shooter, if that makes sense.

[gleaming sundial]

marathon is apex legends the extraction shooter

[wet herald]

cant be mad at that assessment.

[gleaming sundial]

which isn't gonna work

[magic rose]

yeah i can draw parallels with APEX when i look at marathon

[wet herald]

Like I said a million times, even Apex has a much more punishing revive system than this game has, and thats embarassing.

[gleaming sundial]

part of the thrill in tarkov is pulling off an insane squad wipe as a solo or coming in with trash gear and outplaying an overgeared player

in the marathon beta i found that to be exceedingly difficult with the forced trios and easy revive system

[wet herald]

You shouldnt be able to pick up a fully killed player just by holding a button at their body. Let a teammate take something out of runners brain and take it to a POI for a new shell.

[magic rose]

yeah but one issue i have in tarkov is how unbearable it is after u actually do survive that fight, because "yay i won!" and next thin u know 2 new squads are closing in while ur healing ur 3 blacked out limbs

[gleaming sundial]

i like this

[gleaming sundial]

PK and reposition

[wet herald]

And ALERT the map that a new shell is being printed, there needs to be consequence.

[magic rose]

hard to do depending on what gear u have and level u are if ur limbs are blacked, but fair point

[dreamy warren]

I would love a body dragging mechanic in an extraction looter 🙏🏻 let me drag a guy out of an open area or my buddy away from the fight

[gleaming sundial]

PK lets you move full speed on blacked limbs and there's a billion different options to PK

[soft swan]

that mechanic on Battlefield labs was cool blast

[magic rose]

yeah true, honestly i think i always got greedy after i won fights so it may have been a skill issue on my side

[gleaming sundial]

scavs drop vaseline all the time

[dreamy warren]

Made it look like a war movie

[wet herald]

Players that utilize snipers are going to be very upset, they will be too far to actually punish full dead revives. There needs to be a punishment mechanic for those trying to bring their buddies back mid raid.

[soft swan]

hell yeah

[dreamy warren]

Sorry too busy picking up my 375th toz of the wipe

[gleaming sundial]

grab their rig and gun and move away from the body, loot their rig in a bush, watch out for third parties, go back after a bit and grab their backpack

[wet herald]

As a BF6 playtester, id like to inform you.... we are so back.

[soft swan]

we are so back

i was screaming the whole time.

[dreamy warren]

If it's early raid I usually drop my bag if I know theirs is bigger and shove all their shit in it and just search the bag later

[gleaming sundial]

ep

[wet herald]

They call me the loot sprinkler, youll never find it, trust me

[gleaming sundial]

yep. there's so many little things in tarkov you have to do to increase your odds of surviving.

[magic rose]

yeah true, as i said skill issue on my part most likely

[dreamy warren]

My buddy doesn't even wanna talk in the discussion cus of the terrible dev takes... But at least the devs are responding

[lucid willow]

Scak boye

[gleaming sundial]

i dont even really loot people anymore aside from dogtags and mags if they have good ammo. but im level 62 prestige 1

[magic rose]

yes

[gleaming sundial]

just waiting until closer to wipe to hit prestige 2

[dreamy warren]

The guys throwing their insured stuff in the water so you can't loot it 💔

You can prestige in tarkov now????

[gleaming sundial]

yeah

[wet herald]

gotta do what you gotta do.

[magic rose]

hows the cheating situation

[soft swan]

which is weird, cause they are doing a good job so far. guns feel “realistic”, medic system which is my favorite is amazing. and the machines feel terrifying to face

[gleaming sundial]

they added it this wipe. you gotta get kappa and tick off some other requirements and you reset your account but you can bring 18 slots with you. so i brought stims for samples and the rest bitcoins

[gleaming sundial]

not great but not the worst ive seen.

[dreamy warren]

I stopped playing like... The wipe after streets was added cus it was just always more of the same thing that I didn't have the time of day to spend on it

[thorn plank]

Tarkov needs a mechanic where you lose bowel control and other players can smell you

[gleaming sundial]

that's a while, they have really added a lot of QOL stuff to the game

[dreamy warren]

There's a zomboid mod that if you don't use a toilet you just shit yourself

[gleaming sundial]

the recoil rework was one of the biggest things. it's a lot more manageable now without meta attachments

[meager coral]

Shit yourself, now

The not bad parts were still good though, food is good

[dreamy warren]

Maybe after I move into the new house I'll finally update it..but I just do NOT have the time between class, work, and everything else inbetween

[thorn plank]

gotta wrap it in a paper towel, maybe moisten it a little

[dreamy warren]

I never thought it was too bad but I also almost only used bolt actions, shotguns, and semi autos

[gleaming sundial]

yeah i mean it's a grind

[dreamy warren]

I love the grind I just wouldn't have time TO grind

[meager coral]

True, I forgot about that

I was like “eh two minutes will be fine and then I’ll check on it”

narrator: it was, in fact, not fine

[gleaming sundial]

we're 6 months into the wipe so coming in fresh would be pain

[paper barn]

tarkov?

[gleaming sundial]

they also revamped armor and how it works

[dreamy warren]

Wouldn't be my first time

Leg meta still a thing?

[gleaming sundial]

oh yeah always has and always will

but there's a plate system now.

so like you will have the CPC carrier that you can put plates in, say class 5 or class 6, and then it has class 3 soft armor underneath

so if the bullet pens the plate, it will further reduce the damage by having to pen the soft armor underneath

[paper barn]

Is tarkov running better

does streets not run ass

[gleaming sundial]

they updated to a newer unity engine, so yeah for most people it's better

ive got a high end pc though so your mileage may vary

they have optimized several of the maps, with more on the way

i can push like 100-120fps on every map in 4k

[paper barn]

I didn’t know they dropped the engine update already

[gleaming sundial]

yeah

[paper barn]

How is it

[gleaming sundial]

it runs smoother, game looks good

they updated all the skyboxes. a ton of AI changes to make scavs/rogues/bosses/raiders behave more realistically

[paper barn]

I might reinstall

[gleaming sundial]

you can put flares and paracord in your special slots now. that's the best change they have made imo

[paper barn]

Finally

[gleaming sundial]

map to map transit is pretty slick

[paper barn]

did they add port

[gleaming sundial]

that's coming in 1.0 which is supposed to launch late this year

they added labrynth which is a new smaller map you access from the health resort basement on shoreline

[paper barn]

They need to just add more maps

but it’s okay I love streets

[gleaming sundial]

they completely re-did factory, added labrynth, expanded shoreline, expanded customs, interchange expansion is coming

streets is the best map hell yeah

oh they added new areas on woods

lighthouse still sucks out loud. reserve needs some love

[paper barn]

they have been doing a lot but what about the story stuff ):

[gleaming sundial]

the main story stuff is coming in 1.0

[rigid oriole]

Do you guys think bungie is gonna show sometime in the summer game fest? Some are saying It's the new E3

[dreamy crow]

i thought that was the game awards sgf isnt always as exciting

[pallid shoal]

not unless they have something new to show, i assume they just cancelled all their summer showings to focus on the game

[dreamy crow]

im in love w ue 5 again i always refused to rig in the editor but damn i can see myself expanding further away in my workflow

kinooooo

[cyan bridge]

[kindred vigil]

ruh oh they're gonna call the Scooby Doo gang on me

[cyan bridge]

Thats right im calling the goon squad on you

[magic rose]

the goon squad will never catch me

[kindred vigil]

please do not call the goon squad on me 💔

[magic solstice]

Are we all counting down to tomorrow?

[cyan bridge]

Oh no theyre coming pal

[quick drum]

[kindred vigil]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goon_squad

[magic solstice]

I’m gonna goon so hard when arc raiders drops tomorrow

[magic rose]

no u wont

[kindred vigil]

Just in case any of you don't have #knowledge

[sick carbon]

im so excited. They need to open the discord back up

[cyan bridge]

Are you really now

[magic solstice]

It will be an all time goon off

[cyan bridge]

Its all over the screen

[dreamy warren]

Art gooners

[magic rose]

how much is arc

[cyan bridge]

Free

[magic solstice]

Arc will either be free or $40

[magic rose]

it's 40

[magic solstice]

I played the tech test and I would pay 70 for it

[kindred vigil]

arc will be as much it will be when it releases that's for sure

[cyan bridge]

40 dollars is a lot on my country

[magic rose]

broke lmao

[magic solstice]

Dang you should go to a different country to buy it

[pallid shoal]

sell that kidney gamer

[dreamy warren]

It's crazy how I've never heard of arc raiders until I joined the marathon server... And I hear nothing about it outside of this server still...

[magic solstice]

That’s bc this is a arc raiders discord

[cyan bridge]

Im arriving at denmark as we speak

[dreamy warren]

Yet every YouTube video I watch it's a split gate ad

[kindred vigil]

Something something extractions still niche to the main audience still

[dreamy warren]

Something something it's the only game I play 💔 I heard more about the cycle before it released then I did marathon or arc raiders at all

I don't even know what the game looks like 💀

[echo shuttle]

well i mean they dont really advertise it tbf

[magic solstice]

This group knows there’s now a 30% chance that Marathon is good but a solid 90% chance that arc raiders is good. We just want a fun extraction shooter so we talk about Arc

[pallid shoal]

true, they can't chat in their own discord

[dreamy warren]

You mean the reason people say marathon is going to die 🤨

[pallid shoal]

it's basically palworld without the cute

[echo shuttle]

atleast ive never seen a arc raiders ad. oh idk about that stuff, just saying arc dont advertise atleast not yet

[magic solstice]

Embark uses the community for advertising

[dreamy warren]

So nothing

[echo shuttle]

i think people are more worried that marathon got the pllanned advertising cancelled rumored atleast

[magic solstice]

Embark knows they don’t need to advertise bc every YouTuber is going to cover the game for them and market the product because it speaks for itself

[dreamy crow]

its like manscape

this chat is sponsored by ridge wallet. get one free today!

[dreamy warren]

I didn't even know marathon existed until my Bungie glazer roommate told me they were making an extraction game

[pallid shoal]

who cashin they factor checks

[dreamy warren]

And I only heard of arc raiders cus of the fart raiders in this server

[cyan bridge]

We should all advertise limbus company on marathon general chat

[echo shuttle]

yeah i dont think marathon advertises yet either

it was the "planned" advertising got cancelled rumored atleast

[dreamy crow]

i heard about it in the sewers

[dreamy warren]

Of the imperial city?

[dreamy crow]

[river storm]

[dreamy warren]

[echo shuttle]

[dreamy warren]

And pride month

[austere zodiac]

Oh I played it already - was freaking amazing

[kindred vigil]

I mean marathon only had 1 vid by jackfrags while jackfrags made like 3-4 glaze videos for arc so

[river storm]

yeah they paid me too actually

[dreamy warren]

Kissing each other

[magic solstice]

I don’t kiss any of you!

[austere zodiac]

You don’t have to have a specific set of tastebuds to know that a good game is good.

[kindred vigil]

[dreamy stratus]

go ahead and look up some videos about it then? A bunch of people have made videos talking about it, so just search it up on youtube if you're interested. I guarantee you'll get a lot more out of one of those videos than just hearing what people here are saying about it

[magic rose]

yah we r madly in love actually

[river storm]

quite mindblowing if you ask me

[echo shuttle]

what is the best most favorite fast food restuarant?

[dreamy warren]

[river storm]

happy pride or something

[glacial bane]

we should ban traditional marrige. thoughts

[cyan bridge]

Thank you

[dreamy warren]

Maybe it just wasn't a funny joke 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dreamy stratus]

-# well at least look at one video since I think(?) you said you didnt even know what the game looks like? And for wanting to hear what people say: My opinion is that I loved it! Got into its playtest right away (didnt for Marathon for its entire runtime, still a bit sad about that), and it was just a genuinely really good game! Good with friends, good for solos, and my time felt valued. No crazy movement like Marathon, but it felt really responsive. Guns felt great, sound design was godly, tension was good, overall just a banger, for me at least. And again, take a look if you're interested. If not, all good too. Just want more people to hear about a game I really liked. ALso, small text so I dont flood the chat.

[cyan bridge]

The bride burns the husband after the marriage

[river storm]

we should ban x and y chromosomes tbh.

[surreal nova]

Yes please (unironically)

[pallid shoal]

nontraditional marriages only, straights must express creativity to get hitched

[magic rose]

the company i used to work at had a tap in the office it was fire

[glacial bane]

what would we be left with then

[surreal nova]

Everyone’s a critic

[dreamy warren]

If it's good for solos I'll try my hand at it... How a game looks isn't too important for me if I enjoy the gameplay so

[magic rose]

goated for using small text icl very kind of you

[river storm]

with tim apple of course .

[dreamy warren]

I would say make it a paid dlc but it already is

[cyan bridge]

what if i made stew in front of you
Like mysterious stew
Like the one in minecraft
That would be good

[magic rose]

i bet you dont know the first thing about stew making

[surreal nova]

I’ve never seen someone be this considerate in here. Are we turning a new leaf as a culture chat

[river storm]

ban women
amirite amirite guys

[cyan bridge]

Stop this is homunculi phobia

[magic rose]

would make chat a better place...

[pallid shoal]

what is a women

[dreamy warren]

I miss my grandmas stew...

[river storm]

WOAH

[dreamy stratus]

I think I would like that

stew is good

[river storm]
