What have you been telling these people?

[gleaming bough]

the typical Mida

[ember warren]

LFG I GET TO BE JACKIE CHAN WOOHOO

[lucid eagle]

I assume terrorist ideology, Mars ownership, things of that sort?

[gleaming bough]

yeah

[lucid eagle]

A tiny bit reductive but okay.

[surreal nova]

Tbh I thought you were more like Chris Tucker because neeyth is short, like Jackie

[ember warren]

well neeyth is black, i would wanna be chris tucker but that role is filled by default

[gleaming bough]

why you here for tho?

I didn't summon you

[magic rose]

Any idea on when this game's launching?

[proud plinth]

Hello

I heard that GTA 6 will be delayed again until 2027 and will end up being a cross-generation title.

between Xbox Prime and PS6

[hearty garden]

It’s not bru

[magic rose]

awesome and will there be marathon arcade machines in the arcades in vice city or?

[proud plinth]

God, this generation has been sh1t, I can't imagine how sh1tty the tenth generation will be.

[magic rose]

so it's dead for real because of the whole ''we accidentally used this person's work and didn't ask them''

[proud plinth]

That game is dead? Why?

[magic rose]

cause ngl it looks like it'' be a damned good game but if it's not getting launched because bungie decided to an hero themselves

[hearty garden]

Accidentally LOL

[magic rose]

sorry i mean ''accidentally''

WHOOPSIE!!!

[hearty garden]

It could bounce back buts it’s a rough journey ahead

The whole internet is against it especially since it’s a bungo game

[proud plinth]

You know what the worst part is? Sony has put single-player games on the back burner to give "special priority" to games as a service.

Hermen Hulst's words, not mine

[hearty garden]

Zad

I’ll never forgive them for cancel pt

[proud plinth]

You know what the worst part is? There are already rumors that Xbox will follow suit as the Xbox 360 and launch its next generation in 2026, a year before the PS6.

GOD, A NEXT GENERATION OF CONSOLES IS A COMPLETE NONSENSE

Why did I buy a 9th generation console?

@magic rose @hearty garden

[hearty garden]

Just play pc

[still oasis]

video games are for children don't stress it

FANTASTIC MISTER FOX!!

no chaos not a confirmed delay

[glacial bane]

No news yet sorry

[kindred vigil]

It's merely a time lapse, (in simple terms) it'll release between Sept - March 2026

[glacial bane]

Ur a time lapse

[proven kernel]

I’m a paradox

[idle cave]

Yeaaaa game studios don't tend to aim for the beginning of time slots for releases lol

[tepid bane]

We have no indication that Bungie will be delaying the game.

[proven kernel]

So far, yep. I mean there’s a new Sony super cut ad that came out last week that still has September.

[idle cave]

Sony ceo said release by March 2026. Its not confirmed to be delayed. But thats not very promising tbh

[tepid bane]

He said that the focus of fiscal year 2025 will be Marathon.

You are parroting misinformation.

[proven kernel]

That’s also common in reports. They usually give out release dates like that. If you look at old Sony reports, it’s always stated FY2025 as the release.

[pallid shoal]

reads to me as "hey it's not out yet, we might delay it two days before release, who knows!"

[proven kernel]

Since they don’t care about a specific date. Just the fiscal year.

[tepid bane]

The presentation is available for download online for reference. I don't recommend getting your news from streamers and creators. They have a monetary incentive to lie.

[glacial bane]

me and backwards on that same wavelength

[pallid shoal]

wait for a beta or another playtest, or for launch, or you can join the marathon qa team

i don't think they're hiring right now tho

[mystic cloak]

so from what I can see now, it's impossible to get a code, right?

[pallid shoal]

no as there is no current playtest in progress

no next playtest has been announced and they have not provided instructions to be included in one if it is announced

[mystic cloak]

What a shame, thanks a lot for all the answers

i can wait for the realese

I CANT WAIT I NEED IT NAO

[magic kiln]

[hasty charm]

How can I get the beta?

[magic kiln]

[quick drum]

[pallid shoal]

A beta as not yet been announced. No way to be included in future play tests has been announced.

[obsidian plover]

Let’s do a collective any% run for mother Russia bleeds

[magic kiln]

[brave flame]

Someone made marathon on roblox lmao

[restive cloak]

Have they officially canceled the game yet? Or is this just rumor

[kindred vigil]

That didn't take long

[neon nexus]

They just reiterated the launch window

[still oasis]

they have but not yet announced

[magic kiln]

[empty heart]

By waiting my brother

[magic kiln]

[echo shuttle]

its wild how many people stil ask about the playtest lol

[neon nexus]

There’s nothing else to talk about, Bungie has been radio silent ever since

[empty heart]

It's a good sign though

[onyx junco]

you'll get your beta when you fix This Damn DOOR!

[echo shuttle]

like I get if it was close but damn we like a whole ass month from when the test happened

[neon nexus]

A whole month with no news and almost 3 left until launch

[restive cloak]

Ok. Damn the whole art copyright thing was a real heart breaker I was so ready

Splitgate 2 isn’t enough.

[neon nexus]

Midgate 2

[empty heart]

They'll do the same thing they did with Final Shape. They are working non stop and when they are ready to show something, it will be to wow people

[still oasis]

i mean there's 2 kinds of bungie game players, those there for the gameplay and those there for the omg i luvvvv the company

[neon nexus]

That sure is one way to view this situation.

[still oasis]

the playtest being mid made the first kind go away and the art theft made the 2nd kind go away

[fierce agate]

i need
i need news
i need more art stuff

[empty heart]

Mark my words

I will eat them if I'm wrong

[neon nexus]

Well that’s what’ll happen at the end of the day

[empty heart]

What do you mean by art stuff? Drama or nice things to look at?

[restive cloak]

I absolutely don’t mind waiting for something that will blow my socks off. But it doesn’t seem to be happening. Everyone hates this game so much I don’t understand. Who cares about art stealing. Jusy make the fucking game

[neon nexus]

People don’t seem to understand that they only have 2 months of development time left, what we’ve seen is what we’re gonna get

[empty heart]

That's why they need to blow people's mind with whatever they show. It needs to hit hard and unexpected, they shouldn't show a slow progress

[echo shuttle]

I mean i care more about the game than anything but i also understand why people make it a big deal when art is stolen cause if the community doesnt make it a big deal then bigger companies might not care as much if an employee does. Just a way of looking at it.

[fierce agate]

oh wait no
i meant
actual "art" thing

i need more graphic rearism thing

[neon nexus]

The time has run out for that

[still oasis]

rearism you say

[echo shuttle]

NOW to cancel a game over it is a bit extreme but I get making it a big deal

[fierce agate]

😦
(i cant spekl)

[magic kiln]

[empty heart]

There's no way the game gets cancelled, that's ridiculous

[still oasis]

no, graphic rears are great

[magic kiln]

[echo shuttle]

No I mean people stating it should be cancelled solely for the art reason alone is a bit much is what im saying.

[empty heart]

I disagree

[neon nexus]

It’s not a subjective idea

[empty heart]

Oh yeah. That's probably the same people that still think the whole art style was stolen

[fierce agate]

i love seeing r/marathon slowly turns into art sub

[pallid shoal]

there's neat art! lots of folks are inspired.

[empty heart]

It... actually is. People can get impressed and hyped at the last moment

[echo shuttle]

Im just curious of what wasnt shown in the playtest. Since its been stated that they left out alot but we will see🤷‍♂️

[neon nexus]

When do you think Bungie will have the time for that? They need to be doing final polish right now

[empty heart]

Correct, I believe that's true, I trust Skarrow

[neon nexus]

On top of planning for final betas/play tests to iron out any unforeseen issues

[empty heart]

It depends on what it needs to be ironed out honestly. I don't work at Bungie so I can't tell. Maybe it's not much, maybe it is

[echo shuttle]

I mean we will see if they really have alot still to show or not. Thats why im not so quick to judge the game just yet since not everything was shown. Now if it was stated that most of the game was in the playtest then i would prob be a bit more judgy tbh

[empty heart]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Beta is 2 months before release. They can be announced pretty fast

[neon nexus]

Given the lackluster response, it’s a lot that needs to be tuned

[empty heart]

Again, that's why they need to show everything and wow people

[kindred vigil]

don't forget tomorrow

[neon nexus]

You’re expecting a lot for game that needs to finish development in 2 months

[echo shuttle]

Still not a huge fan of the rezzing from full dead tbh but im not fully against it i supppose. There def needs to be some drawback to getting rezzed other than, "each time you get revived, it takes longer" They said somethinig like that

[pallid shoal]

I wonder if the alpha's mixed response and how much games like SS:KTJL and Concord carried ill sentiments from their betas into their launches will discourage Bungie/Sony from another playtest.

As much as I'd like to try the game I don't know what they'd stand to gain with another play test when they intend to continue developing the game further over time.

[neon nexus]

They need more exposure for Marathon, not less. Letting the negativity marinate is one of the key problems Concord faced

[still oasis]

yeah but every time concord got shown people just laughed at it

[echo shuttle]

I mean lets not really compare this to concord lol. Concord didnt even itnerest people in the slightest

[neon nexus]

You know we’re talking about marathon, right?

[empty heart]

Concord wasn't so mocked at the Beta compared to launch

[echo shuttle]

Yes and people are WAYYYYYYYYY more interested in marathon than concord did lol

[neon nexus]

Yes it was bro what 😭

[echo shuttle]

There is no way you are comparing marathon and concord, im sorry but thats wild

[neon nexus]

No, they’re not. The reception was apathetic as possible. The art controversy is the only reason marathon was even discussed at all outside of Marathon specific spaces

[echo shuttle]

huh

marathon was discussed before the art lol

[neon nexus]

The discussion for the title died after the gameplay reveal

[pallid shoal]

Concord is inevitable in the discussion. The comparison may not be appropriate for one reason or another but it will aways be in the conversation as another Sony live-service game that had a tortured development and enormous budget

[neon nexus]

The Twitch viewership for the alpha was pitiful

[bold sleet]

What a dumb metric for engagement

[neon nexus]

Them providing no meaningful metrics about the alpha is also a bad sign regarding the interest in it

[neon nexus]

What should be used?

[pallid shoal]

That's really common for games studios and publishers even if they have really positive numbers. It's a regular business tactic to keep numbers private as they can be misinterpreted and a popular misinterpretation often gets more play and attention than an accurate one.

[empty heart]

Huh? Who cares about Twitter viewership?

[echo shuttle]

Def not comparing it to concord, thats for sure. Not saying marathon is perfect but im surprised someone is using concord as an example to this game

[neon nexus]

Whoops, meant twitch 💀

[empty heart]

People conveniently forget about Helldivers 2 when talking about Sony live service games

[neon nexus]

Reminder that this is how Bungie used to talk about their playtests: https://middleeasy.com/gaming/all-of-the-destiny-beta-statistics-in-a-single-astonishing-infographic/

[pallid shoal]

I think it's the public execution seeker's tendency. They want to see another corporate blunder go down in flames so they seek out similarities to link them and their fates.

[neon nexus]

Because they haven’t had another successful live service launch, nor have they had another PvE live service game

[kindred vigil]

The F students will be inventors

[glacial bane]

HL2 came out like last year bro

[neon nexus]

As did Concord

[finite radish]

I'm kinda like Garfield but I like spaghetti

[neon nexus]

A 50% failure rate with another possibly rocky live service launch doesn’t instill confidence

[kindred vigil]

wait r u comparing HD2 with concord and marathon

[echo shuttle]

:(

[glacial bane]

Oh no Sony didnt release 10 great shooters last years its over

[kindred vigil]

We talked about this ....

[empty heart]

You already said that, but thank you for the reminder. Do you still hate Tuesdays?

[finite radish]

I hate Tuesdays

[kindred vigil]

Let's hop on castleminerZ

[pallid shoal]

You could call that failure rate even higher if you include all the live service projects Sony cancelled. But HD2 was a runaway success and often one or two such successes can justify many failures to investors especially in a fickle industry with narrow margins for profit.

[finite radish]

Keemstar game

[neon nexus]

Oh it will, Sony has already said they aren’t going to stop going after live service games. They likely have to, though

[finite radish]

Nvm keemstar helped with the other bad Minecraft Xbox clone

[kindred vigil]

I was so confused

[zealous notch]

they're not going to completely stop but they're going to massively halt any new ones from development

the fairgames one is looking like slop so the only real ones in development at this point with any chance is the jason blundell game and potentially horizon online

[kindred vigil]

Who's Jason blundell

[zealous notch]

worked on zombies with treyarch

[quick drum]

who's treyarch?

[kindred vigil]

Oh that's cool

Ion how y'all can remember most devs by name I only know like the main 7 💔

[neon nexus]

They said the exact opposite yesterday, they’re committed to live service games

[next relic]

Cause jason blundell was the zombies guy that made all the best maps

[kindred vigil]

I only knew David vondaharr sorry

[zealous notch]

there's nothing indicating they're going to get their studios to work on 12 games again like the original plan was so that just sounds more like "yeah we're committed to releasing the handful still in the pipeline"

[pallid shoal]

Except all the ones they cancelled. Clearly they need to drive the HD2 strategy into the ground before investors stop asking for "another win like HD2". It's like a popular TV show: they have to keep renewing it until it's steadily unprofitable regardless of whether there's real value in continuing it.

[neon nexus]

No one said 12 games, but it’s very naive to just assume that they’ll stop after Fairgames and Horizon online

[zealous notch]

never said that, i just said they're going to massively halt that push at this point

especially after marathon and the fairgames game inevitably flop the most they'll greenlight is maybe one or two more

[neon nexus]

PS studios seems to be in between a rock and hard place, the C-suite wants it profitable but the live service games can’t seem to maintain consistent quality and interest. Something has to change if these live service games don’t move the needle

[quick drum]

i tought bruce wayne was a trillionaire

[neon nexus]

They’re likely going to develop new live service games, maybe not 12 but there’s likely to be another 3-4 in the pipeline before the generation is over

[quick drum]

why would he need jobbie?

[pallid shoal]

Ya, it's been a seductive idea for publishers as the diagram looks like infinite money. Fortnite clearly dwarfs the economies of many small nations so every publisher is under pressure to "make their own Fortnite" because that's how business brains (don't) work.

[kindred vigil]

type cartoon cat on google

[zealous notch]

i'd put 2-3 new green lights max

they're going to have to be extremely cautious about doing it or they're going to have more studios work on these $200mil service games for 5 years before either needing to be cancelled or shipping in a complete flopped state

[pallid shoal]

Bungie shaped their whole release process to focus on this model and aside from a few fancy cars they can't seem to generate meaningful profit.

[neon nexus]

Gotta have consistent growth, even if it eventually comes at the expense of basically everything else

[zealous notch]

they'll have to generate more short term easy revenue in terms of remasters, AA games, and whatever pc ports they device on

and we already know there's a god of war AA metroidvania game in development so they're pursuing that avenue already

[quick drum]

i'd so hire everyone in this channel and enslave them to make games

[neon nexus]

That easy revenue is for development, it’s necessary to do remasters and PC ports now

[zealous notch]

depends on the pc ports in question

SM2 had mediocre sales on steam

[neon nexus]

It doesn’t, Yoshida himself said that PC ports and remasters are necessary

[zealous notch]

they are necessary to the games where it makes sense

astrobot for example wouldn't really work as a pc port and we already have rumors that they cancelled a potential GT7 pc port

ghost of yōtei and DS2 will inevitably get ported but depending on how much they sale they might decide to walk back a bit on that statement

[neon nexus]

They are necessary to all AAA single player games, and the rumor of a canceled GT7 port comes from the biggest group of PS fanboys you could possibly find

PlayStations PC support isn’t going anywhere, especially now as development costs rise and the exclusive market for PlayStation is likely saturated on their hardware

[zealous notch]

i'm aware of what yoshida said and the obvious business model there but as we've seen with SM2 the game didn't that well on steam for various reasons and we'll see if the two games this year sell any better on pc, he said that with the assumption that they'll sell as well as they have in the past with SM1 for example

[neon nexus]

If they stop selling well on PC the next stop is more platforms, not less

It is unsustainable to continue to spend more on these games while selling less of them as time goes on

[zealous notch]

more platforms not on PC isn't going to be that realistic for their AAA games

for switch 2 the obvious limiting factor is the hardware and when the PS6 rolls on by this'll be even greater of an issue

for xbox that's going to just be a glorified windows pc with steam support so that's a pc anyway

[neon nexus]

The Switch 2 is an easy target for a more multi platform release. If the PS + PC + Switch 2 releases don’t garner more sales then other changes will have to be made

They’ve hit an obvious ceiling on sales with their current strategy, so it’s either try other platforms, quicken PC ports, or hope that live service games can cover the gaps

[zealous notch]

depends on the game

if it's something like ghost of yotei where its 60fps as a baseline on PS5 and there's no RT baked into the game design then maybe but when the PS6 comes along this'll make the new stuff much harder

[neon nexus]

The Switch 2 has Ray tracing hardware, we’re probably 6 or more years away from PlayStation stopping support for the PS5 in terms of first party games anyway

[zealous notch]

it does but its crap and worse than the series S in terms of what it can do

which is why pretty much no game on it thus far supports it

also is why a GTA6 port for it wouldn't be feasible alongside the CPU being crap

[kindred vigil]

Digital foundry

[neon nexus]

It’s a handheld, but the reason for a lack of third party support right now is Nintendo for some reason didn’t send out dev kits. The support will come and it’ll come en masse

Publishers know there’s money to be made on the best selling console platform

[cold forge]

just buy a steam deck its the same price

[bronze vigil]

https://youtu.be/PGJKeESLBpQ?si=j1xooBkgbYIbQ3O2

[neon nexus]

Lack of DLSS, hardware specific optimization work, and included dock makes the Deck a less enticing purchase in comparison

[rough tendon]

nintendo cvcks is why we only have shitty releases from nintendo, grow tf up and stop buying mediocre games for children

¨type of shit that makes other studios up their prices bcs they see nintendo do yearly slop releases and still earn a bunch of money

[bronze vigil]

i mean, you lose sleep over it?

[rough tendon]

not really no bcs I find all their games kinda lame, but I would if I was a fan

but it is annoying to see big studios up their prices as a reaction to another studio doing it

[bronze vigil]

i grew up with Nintendo back when they were hardware leaders, NES on, and it made me deeply sad to see the company slide, but still, getting that mad? i guess i can see it. i don't want consumers to vote for corner cutting in facture either.

yeah, they get you hooked then raise the price lol

do another line of Nintendo powder lol

[rough tendon]

not mad just kinda disappointed in the people who see no problem with the mediocre releases, like I would play pokemon if they actually made a good game instead of making lawsuits against any company that makes a better creature collecting game

[neon nexus]

Nintendo is still technically the hardware leader

[bronze vigil]

um, i don't buy that

[neon nexus]

PS fans buy more $80 games than $70

[bronze vigil]

they have released underpowered platforms too early to market for decades now

[neon nexus]

In sales they are, and it’s by a wide margin

[rough tendon]

well thats why I stopped using my ps before ps4 release

[bronze vigil]

NES was a pinnacle of a machine in '86, power has been lacking since N64

[rough tendon]

they are not leading in the hardware in quality instead quite the opposite, thats why im saying it is kinda pathetic that this many people still buy it

[neon nexus]

Chasing power is what got us in the predicament gaming is in now

[bronze vigil]

the last good hardware they put out was the 3DS (aside from the 3d gimick, it had a robust processor ect)

yeah, but the machines also tend to be flimsy in actual build. i just hate that.

[rough tendon]

but in console sales yes unfortunately

[neon nexus]

The Switch 2 feels very sleek and premium

[bronze vigil]

and then, the titles. mario and all that was great when it was fresh. its tired out

[rough tendon]

ok and? It is still expensive and bad quality for the price

[bronze vigil]

the only reason i'd pick up a Switch is Metroid Prime for the most part

[neon nexus]

It’s not expensive for what it offers, nor is it a bad quality for the price. 120hz handhelds start at like $600 on the PC side

[rough tendon]

it really is dogshit for what it offers
it offers a nintendo monopoly store with overpriced and limited games

[neon nexus]

It offers better performance than the steam deck at essentially the same price, the store will grow with time as Nintendo finally gets dev kits out

[rough tendon]

wow more 90$ games lmao how lucky we are

this is the "wife's boyfriend" mentality that leads us to get mediocre games

[neon nexus]

Pricing is left up to publishers, Nintendo doesn’t set third party prices

[rough tendon]

ofc they do, games that are 90$ on switch 2 are not 90$ on other stores

[neon nexus]

That’s not how things work

[cold forge]

being able to play any almost all pc games makes it a much more enticing purchase

portability is cringe though

[rough tendon]

yeah no shit they dont say "this game will cost this" but they take such a big premium it will make the game hella overpriced

[neon nexus]

Steam is the Decks major selling point, yeah. It’s why I have one

[neon nexus]

They take the same premium as all other digital storefronts sans-EGS to my knowledge

[rough tendon]

then why is it recently 90$ instead of the usual 70$ on steam?

[cold forge]

and modern games are built to run at 1440p or 4k which makes dlss a silly selling point

everything modern is just gonna look like crap anyways

[rough tendon]

dlss is also some of the most garbage dogshit that has ever happened to gaming
it is the reason we have unoptimized games

[cold forge]

no it isn't

[neon nexus]

Which game is $90 on Switch 2 and $70 elsewhere?

[cold forge]

not even close, but it certainly doesnt help

[neon nexus]

No they aren’t

We rarely see native 4k anymore especially on consoles

[cold forge]

damn ok, sorry i said anything

[rough tendon]

i mean TAA is the actual worst thing that happened but its up there

[cold forge]

no, not native 4k but a 4k output of upscaled slop

those technologies just don't work well on 1080p or below

[neon nexus]

Upscaled 4k without upscaling hardware is almost always trash

PSSR/FSR4/DLSS are necessary evils right now

[cold forge]

well yeah

i downsample some games because they look noticeably better afterwards

low resolutions just don't work well with "upscaling hardware" and its accompanying software

[rough tendon]

LMAO you have to pay to "upgrade" your switch 1 games to switch 2 😭

[cold forge]

me when i pay to upgrade my steam games to remasters 😭

[neon nexus]

Just like on PlayStation

[rough tendon]

defending a practise by saying another shitty company also does the same practice is so funny to me
deep under the boot territory

[quartz knot]

who is worse rn ubisoft or bungie

[rough tendon]

good question

[neon nexus]

I’m fully for not supporting new gen upgrade packs, but online is full of PS fanboys. Xbox has been great in that regard

[cold forge]

ubisoft still makes great games like avatar while bungie just makes dlc

[rough tendon]

yeah difference is how much of a dogshit company Nintendo is with their lawsuits, that is the root problem. They would rather sue someone over a similar game than make a good game themselves

and the lawsuits are gatekeeping an entire genre mainly the "creature collecting" one

I would love for a Pokemon game with a PC release that is similar to Palworld in content but rather than make that level of effort the Billion dollar company would sue the indie game that is higher quality than their own even tho they had tens of years to perfect this genre

idk to me it is just kinda wild that someone can respect a company that will patent "shaking a tree" to be able to make a lawsuit on their rivals later
and even more wild that "shaking a tree" is considered a valid patent by court

[cold forge]

dont hate the player hate the game

[rough tendon]

I will hate both

[cold forge]

fair enough

[rough tendon]

like the effort and funding purely to make games worse by gatekeeping features cant not be hated by me even if the fault is also at the court allowing such garbage

[cold forge]

patent trolls are the norm, competition is bad you see

[rough tendon]

but I guess thats what happens when you show a bunch of convincing 3d models and graphs to an old judge who has never played a videogame before but is for some reason in charge of patents related to games industry

[cold forge]

its what happens when you flood an office with patent requests at a rate they can't possibly manage which allows a bunch of fish to swim through the net

normally patent offices are supposed to do like research and stuff but that's kinda hard when there isn't any time for it, and you can't just decline every request either

[still oasis]

so on the other hand be real palworld is totally a pokemon ripoff

[rough tendon]

yeah true should just mean their requests should be delayed/not prioitized tho

[cold forge]

oh no japan is just corrupt

[rough tendon]

gameplay wise not even close, certain models, maybe

[cold forge]

pretty sure you can't do that in the states but who knows

[feral root]

am i the only one that genuinely believes marathon is not only gonna drop but also be fairly successful

[cold forge]

yeah probably

[rough tendon]

that could be true just saying what should be the obvious solution that spamming patents

[cold forge]

what are you doing in a marathon discord expressing those heretic opinions

[rough tendon]

yes, you are

[feral root]

oki

[neon nexus]

Ain’t nothing else to talk about 😭 🙏

[cold forge]

well budget cuts for sure 😃

i haven't heard of it happening though

they really need more resources imo

[rough tendon]

marathon hype is as low as it could be, no news, no delay anouncements, no nothing everyone knows it should be delayed or canceled

[cold forge]

late stage capitalism

[rough tendon]

tbh priority should just come from how many patents you have filed, like a person filing their first patent should be prioritized above the 100th patent of nintendo that year

[cold forge]

that will just loopholed unfortunately

[rough tendon]

or cost of patents should steeply rise for each one your company files

[neon nexus]

Doesn’t that give larger companies easier access to patents than smaller ones?

[rough tendon]

or cost should be scaling on value of company or whatever

[cold forge]

nerd

[rough tendon]

idk

maybve im tweaking, just is a shit system currently

[cold forge]

yeah probably

we dont live in the world we used to, things are far more complex

[magic kiln]

[full gazelle]

ESCAPE WILL MAKE US GOD. 🏳️‍⚧️

[still oasis]

most/all regulations benefit large companies at the expense of small ones just because they're costly to follow

doesn't really matter what it is or what the fee is, it's gonna hurt big cos less

[neon nexus]

That’s why cost is a horrible disciplinary tool, yeah

[cold forge]

yeah but do the right thing laws and regulations can certainly be done right

[still oasis]

even if you 'do the right thing' they still will hurt small co's

just due to cost of compliance

[ember crater]

You could just make law penalty scale with the company but the problem is determining that

[still oasis]

even then, the true cost isn't the penalty, it's hiring the lawyers and compliance people to prove that you're following the regs

[ember crater]

True, in some level thats a given. Its kindve an necessary evil to have some protections in place. I think the problem is usually the penalties being meaningless for larger companies means the cost on small companies is effectively adding extra cost for no reason because the regs are usually targeting larger companies.

Small companies break stuff for sure, but usually its not a as big of a deal and/or the impact is small

[surreal nova]

Many regulations explicitly exclude companies below certain employee sizes, or only apply to LLCs and not sole proprietorships. Your general point is correct though, regulations do hinder businesses and businesses with more resources have an easier time navigating changes in legislation. We still need ‘em, and lots of ‘em

[ember warren]

limp bizkit reference

[still oasis]

can rationalize regs all you want but at the end of they day they help big companies by hurting small ones. if that's what you want, ask for more regs lol

[still oasis]

can rationalize with the ol 'here's an extreme example' approach too

[ember crater]

Most workers regs are written in blood so

[magic kiln]

[neon nexus]

Marathon so dead we arguing about regulation policy

[ember crater]

Aerospace standards where created because people lost their lives in plane crashes. Its the same stuff.

[still oasis]

ah yeah, implying that a noble goal in the past implies a possible implementation of a fix

that's a good rationalizer too

[ember crater]

Aerospace is the safest its ever been because of its dedication to stem the flood of lost lives over crashes? You literally cannot deny the statistically improvement over the entire industry becoming safer

[ember warren]

capitalism moment

[still oasis]

surely the answer to all the boeing jets blowing up is more regs right, like there weren't previous regs that didn't work

[ember warren]

🤑

[ember crater]

Their issue is compliance, which is different. I might agree that some regulations is overkill but burying your head in the sand over regs while claiming "rationlizations blah" is the same thing on the opposite side

[surreal nova]

What I want is clean air, fresh water, safe food, safe people, and an equitable society. I will advocate for regulations that give us these things even if they hamper economic growth, because otherwise economic growth doesn’t translate to human happiness, which is the point of society

[still oasis]

i'm not arguing with you guys i'm just educating you

[ember warren]

yeah uncs get educated

[surreal nova]

I’m not arguing either, just telling you why you’re wrong

[ember crater]

As someone training to become an AS9100 auditor color me educated

I love when people try to downplay workers who lost their lives for the salary because muh profits

[surreal nova]

An argument implies two competing, reasoned viewpoints, “regulations are bad” barely qualified as a human thought with how facile and simplistic it is

[ember warren]

but muh money.... i need muh money

[still oasis]

ah i never said regs were bad though. what were you arguing with

[quick drum]

regs sux all of them 😐

[magic kiln]

[cold forge]

yeah generally any regulations large companies endorse are probably not gonna be great for small businesses

[magic kiln]

[quick drum]

if i want to do something i gotta get 3 lawyers, 1 banker, 2 accountants, and some relatives of local politicians 😄 hooray regs

and file and navigate more paperwork then the actual deed 😮

just to get taxed to hell and back 😮

[surreal nova]

I don’t understand the point of implying a viewpoint then abandoning it when pressed. If you don’t want to discuss it further you just don’t have to, but why pretend you weren’t saying what you were trying to say

[ember warren]

are you building apartment buildings on the daily or something???

[still oasis]

it’s easy if you’re a big company with all those things already

[still oasis]

no, i said that regs help big companies and harm small ones

[ember crater]

Crazy to claim theyre good when you yourself just downplayed regs to stop the loss of human life are just "noble goals"

[ember warren]

for sure but not enough big companies to take care of all nepotes, i have to take some even as an individual 😮

[still oasis]

yah it’s a pain

[quick drum]

i haven't seen one single reg work in my area, randoms have to get 4 catalysts on the pipes so they don't pollute, just so the city hall can run 500 construction trucks without any regs 😮

NuCaloric is definitely second on my list

oh it's got all the corruptions, broad daylight and long paper trail thing; and the local spanish inquisition

[surreal nova]

But we need their help going after traxus first. We can deal with them after

[cold forge]

dumb regulations that are difficult or impossible to comply with are far more harmful to small businesses that don't know a guy than large ones. both can help large companies at the same time

again no, go reread what i said. you like to try to do mind reading

[ember warren]

traxus is unstopabble im afraid, all the cool people left so now its no mans land with no organization any more 💔

Literally implied the current regs didnt stop the jets from blowing up.

[surreal nova]

Explain how else I should be interpreting this:

“surely the answer to all the boeing jets blowing up is more regs right, like there weren't previous regs that didn't work”

[still oasis]

the jets blew up. their blowing up was not prevented.

[surreal nova]

By regulations. Which means..? Come on champ, let’s complete your thought so you can get a cookie

[ember warren]

what about the ones that dont blow up, are they just lucky

[quick drum]

regs are so good gets shaken down by the garbage people :d

[cold forge]

more regulations wouldn't fix a large untouchable company from not complying, they would only harm smaller ones

[ember warren]

why are you getting shaken down by garbage people just let them take your recycling its not that deep bro

[ember crater]

Right you made the statement current regs didn't stop that. Despite the issue being compliance not established regulations

they want some cash bro

[ember warren]

lmao you getting robbed by garbage men 💔

[gleaming bough]

Boring

[surreal nova]

Depends on the regulation and how it’s implemented. Theres a reason every company was deathly scared of EU GDPR laws: they had escalating penalties per violation, and defined violations in a way that large companies would become bankrupt if they didn’t adhere while exempting smaller companies from some of the rules

[ember warren]

throw a shitty fruit into a customers basket and try to get away with it 😈

a lot of corrupt countries will offer you the option to bribe once you are inevitably found breaking regulations

[surreal nova]

A lot of regulations are done correctly. Most of them, actually. The exceptions get press and people point to ‘em as a reason to dismantle our whole regulatory system, but always forget why they came into existence. People don’t remember what a meme LA smog was

[ember warren]

it was on old messages so no one would see it

[bronze vigil]

[cold forge]

if i get booted i just want yall to know i love all you peeps

[ember warren]

i love you all except for a few

[bronze vigil]

because Marathon's plot deals with concepts of capitalism, discussions about corporatism happen here because of it, and then it leads to politics. that's the playloop.

[quick drum]

i like my people free and individuals

[empty heart]

The things being discussed here have nothing to do with Marathon, they were all about the real world

[bronze vigil]

omfg i am listening to a livestream of the protest right now in the background, and just as i typed that out, dude being interviewed says "its just gooner economics, its nonsense."

[ember warren]

natural evolution of conversation

[bronze vigil]

lol

[quick drum]

and want them to be able to grow and develop without friction

[cold forge]

do you think marathon will have good regulations or bad regulations

[empty heart]

Yes

[quick drum]

[i am also not a misanthrope]

[bronze vigil]

lol let's hope they regulate it correctly so that it gets finished in a forthright legal manner, and is good, and actually gets released

[surreal nova]

There’s literally nothing to talk about with marathon because Bungie has been radio fucking silent

[bronze vigil]

[surreal nova]

I’d rather the chat not be completely dead

[bronze vigil]

[shy flame]

What's a father

[ember warren]

[surreal nova]

Like she promoted it on social media?

[empty heart]

Even if that was true, that still doesn't excuse braking the rules of the server

[surreal nova]

[magic kiln]

[cold forge]

🫃

[bitter tundra]

Mida still loves pregnant men

[magic kiln]

[cold forge]

always has always will

[bitter tundra]

Join the worm, we have worm

[bronze vigil]

see now, i'm not just picking Mida just because i love the scout rifle lol

[gleaming bough]

[bitter tundra]

[gleaming bough]

We also have Goth glitch

[bronze vigil]

see, Sekiguchi makes pretty stuff and worm is cute, but again, i'm not so easy to win over

that being said, my personality likely maps to sekiguchi

[gleaming bough]

NuCaloric is literally fast food

[bronze vigil]

if it were for reals i'd be one of those runners that plays hella hard to get, negotiation strategy

[surreal nova]

I’ve always liked cyberacme because we’re low drama and a nice shade of forest green

[bronze vigil]

but no doubt, i legit want one of those worm stuffies

i wanted a hive worm too, i should see if someone is selling one on ebay when i have money

[bronze vigil]

i do like the logo

[cold forge]

sekiguchi members lowkey have brain worms

[ember warren]

if it was only colours i woulda went cyac but i just love traxus and what they stand for (evil corp)

and the crists cause they are a sick ass concept

[cold forge]

bob the builder ass guild

[bronze vigil]

also goth glitch is mood. that's my immediate kin-archetype

[ember warren]

and locus is the goat

[gleaming bough]

I like glitch but I'll die for Thief

[bronze vigil]

i so automatically mained Glitch that i didn't even bother with the other characters in the alpha. i wanted to hop and dodge fast af, and i was happy with my choice

i am curious, are there any Yeule fans in here?

[ember warren]

fatty

[bronze vigil]

i know there were Marathon fans in the Yeulecord

[quick drum]

[gleaming bough]

Leave tab alone

[ember warren]

okay thats a bit far but shes mean

[surreal nova]

She’s got an umbreon pfp can’t be that bad

[ember warren]

she hits me with "whats with the gay attitude ?" and it hurts my feewings 😦

[surreal nova]

The sylveon girls you gotta watch out for tho

[gleaming bough]

I don't see no evil

[ember warren]

[bronze vigil]

https://youtu.be/U112Stii6uE?si=-K_06dRyK4ztWTeY

[surreal nova]

Real

[ember warren]

shout out lil wayne

[bronze vigil]

so its weird that this musician i'm into vibes a bit like Glitch, is known as the Glitch Princess, and the fans are Glitches. they started doing that years ago so

[ember warren]

she'll never surpass the glitching queen tho only real ones know

[bronze vigil]

i just keep being like "huh, that sure is a coincidence." i mean, different artists and creative teams can come up with the same solutions but, the musician's whole bit is that they are an AI from the future

crazy world, yeah?

oh, yeah, and i'm sure its not surprising that the Marathon fans on Yeulecord are Sekiguchi

[glacial bane]

Female version of unc i think

[bronze vigil]

sho, whatever u need

[flat depot]

Whats a sho

[ancient fern]

Is it okay to be using someone for driving lessons even if you don't really agree with them? It feels wrong faking agreeing, but they're the only person I know with insurance who is extending the offer. I'm going through with it because it's what I need but it still feels wrong. It's hard accepting that that's life even if I know it's the truth. Also like, weird place to ask this lmao

[ember warren]

like you think their a bad driver?

[cold forge]

when did politeness become a sin

[still oasis]

like you don't share a favorite color with them or what

[glacial bane]

Wtf, i was convinced you was a sister 🥀

[ember warren]

wiat realy??

[cold forge]

hard to tell with short kings on discord

[flat depot]

All bears are sisters in heart

[ancient fern]

No they're a very heavy church type and we do sometimes just talk about it, but it quickly goes into talks of sin and "by accepting the broken we become broken" talk

[glacial bane]

Haha yes i wonder who i am exchanging ursa with

[still oasis]

you should never associate with anyone who believes anything different than you

[ember warren]

why do you need the driving lessons? to get your liscense or become a better driver?

[bronze vigil]

how did you afix the deer tag to your name?

[ancient fern]

I need my license

[flat depot]

I personally become broken when i spend more than two dollars on anything

[cold forge]

damn are you broken though

[bronze vigil]

https://youtu.be/PGJKeESLBpQ?si=PuUwdJrwBgNgxfw-

[ember warren]

hmmm you might just have to tank it im ngl its okay if you dont agree even if youre paying them

[ancient fern]

I think we should be able to associate with people who believe different things, I just feel he gets way too much into trying to push it onto me is all.

[ember warren]

dont pay chuck any mind hes ragebaiting lol

[still oasis]

ok on the other track: not associating with him is a form of self-imposed segregation

[still oasis]

no im just smarter than everyone else so i'm being helpful with free advice

[cold forge]

real

[flat depot]

U can't ragebait me , i read one piece

[still oasis]

idk what that is

[bronze vigil]

what is an an-ee-may?

[ember warren]

i got dropped for being gay by one of my driving instructers lol he was a hardcore religious muslim

[surreal nova]

You’ll often have to work in professional environments with people who believe differently than you, sometimes even people who have odious views about matters you deeply care about. It’s a professional interaction and you should set boundaries to keep it that way. If you have to pretend to be this person’s friend or if you find they’re putting you in situations where you have to listen to, or even endorse, their viewpoints to continue the professional relationship you should either set a boundary or exit the situation

[flat depot]

No im pretty sure the annies are not given in may

[bronze vigil]

[ember warren]
