[kindred vigil]

[gleaming bough]

Pick up the bottle

[ember warren]

[gleaming bough]

Not whimsy

[dreamy warren]

Well I mean I already have the downside but no easy job and no rich family. Am I cooked?

[ember warren]

[kindred vigil]

I'm not allowed to drink

[gleaming bough]

Nu uh

[ember warren]

[granite carbon]

Bro how does this game keep getting more cooked (yes I realize I'm a few hours late)

[gleaming bough]

Your 14 obviously

[ember warren]

a delay is good news tbh

[kindred vigil]

well no but it's more so I hate the burning feeling of alcohol

[rapid schooner]

I started at the bottom and worked my way up. Find the job no one wants to do and perfect it and people will love you for it.

[ember warren]

wussy

[gleaming bough]

HMMM

[kindred vigil]

Yeah, and?

I'm a wussy without Brain cells being killed

[ember warren]

idk i cant talk i hate the fizz and the burn and im a horrid drunk

[kindred vigil]

and I don't want to be dependant on vices

[gleaming bough]

It's sooo good tho

[ember warren]

my vices are yummy food

[dreamy warren]

Are you 14 or are you an adult? Make up your mind

[gleaming bough]

Sksks

[kindred vigil]

I can set self barriers on myself

[gleaming bough]

I rarely drink, I drink because I'm off tomorrow

[dreamy warren]

"pick yourself up by your bootstraps" mindset

[ember warren]

theres a reason no one wants to do it 💔

[kindred vigil]

I'm not judging you, shit is probably a good time when ur off 💔 but I'm unemployed so I don't get it yet

[gleaming bough]

I'm sorry

[kindred vigil]

don't be I'm racking up my message count as long as I can

and unemployment is kinda awesome but not

[ember warren]

funemployment

[topaz comet]

unemployment starts to get boring

[kindred vigil]

that's q reference to something what is it

[ember warren]

unemployment is fun

[kindred vigil]

I'm at that stage rn

[ember warren]

hobbies brochacho hobbies, partying, frens, life

[topaz comet]

[topaz comet]

i dont even wanna play anything rn

[kindred vigil]

[ember warren]

[topaz comet]

nothing satisfies me anymore

[kindred vigil]

I don't even play games for longer than 2 hours anymore unless I play with my brother

[topaz comet]

its like 30+ outside fk that

[kindred vigil]

playing with ppl makes things more fun

[ember warren]

[topaz comet]

i made some friends on the marathon alpha but i'll never see them again 💔

[ember warren]

[ember warren]

[topaz comet]

[kindred vigil]

Is death stranding actually walking sim or is there more to it

[topaz comet]

Play the directors cut its on ps+.

[kindred vigil]

It's also 20$ rn on Xbox so it's probably on sale on pc

[topaz comet]

theres more to it

[ember warren]

my plug got me dw

(actually didn't death stranding. Release on PS4 in 2018)

[ember warren]

[kindred vigil]

Holy duck I can't believe death stranding and tlo2 is a PS4 game??

[limber tundra]

DUDE!

[ember warren]

[proud glade]

[ember warren]

[kindred vigil]

No Charles, deltatune is an alt universe of undertale, some same characters but completely different lore and background

[proud glade]

how DARE you misgender the FICTIONAL 11 YEAR OLD CHILD

[ember warren]

its a dude?

[kindred vigil]

non binary

[ember warren]

woke 🙄

[proud glade]

😦

[ember warren]

also i didnt know that

[kindred vigil]

I think it's up to your interpretation but ppl usually refer them as nb

[leaden solstice]

Back from work and a 1 hour mute.

[proud glade]

also Papyrus is the knight and he gives Kris a rune

[kindred vigil]

I have a feeling that a real spoiler

[ember warren]

thoughts on the cup finals

[proud glade]

he gets dealt a rune

[leaden solstice]

The what finals?

[ember warren]

stanley cup finals

[proud glade]

Also the game ends on chapter 3 chapter 4 actually doesn't exist because papyrus turned it into spaghetti

[kindred vigil]

WTF!

[ember warren]

dont give us this cringe rigamaroll fella

[kindred vigil]

Charles

[ember warren]

yo ✌️

[leaden solstice]

We love to see it.

[kindred vigil]

Holy fuck my auto correct

[ember warren]

[leaden solstice]

Fuck the Oilers, McDavid is a fraud, my home state is once again ON TOP.

[ember warren]

ur from FLORIDA and you play HOCKEY?!?!?!

[kindred vigil]

Florida 💔

[leaden solstice]

Yes.

[ember warren]

[leaden solstice]

We have two NHL teams, what do you think?

[ember warren]

those teams of full of canadians tho

[leaden solstice]

Yeah yeah, get as many scraps as you can.

[ember warren]

whats that percentage of canadian players that win vs american players?

[kindred vigil]

1

[leaden solstice]

I'm gonna play some Titanfall now. Have fun doing whatever it is you do I guess. I have no energy for... this right now.

[ember warren]

ok have fun bro ❤️

[kindred vigil]

everyone's going to bed....but I'm so awake...

[ember warren]

i still gotta study for an exam i have tomorrow (i havent studied yet)

[kindred vigil]

get to that brochacho

[ember warren]

no im watching a cool ufc edit 😛

[rigid oriole]

bungie is nerfing things in destiny 2 new DLC, these morons never learn.

[magic rose]

This is marathon server

[rigid oriole]

marathon is dead

[magic rose]

Then leave

[rigid oriole]

why? I don't want

[magic rose]

Bungie fans are their own worst enemies lmfao

[rigid oriole]

bungie fanboys are worse

[magic rose]

Two sides of the same coin. The coin is a fucking idiot

[rigid oriole]

and some are on the other side

[quartz abyss]

i sleepy

[gleaming bough]

sleep

[quartz abyss]

ok

[weary kettle]

I cri evry tim

[wild cave]

How long is marathon delayed for? A year? A few months? Indefinitely?

Not surprised though

[fervent walrus]

I would guess till around 2026 q1 and nothing around may.

[open jetty]

where are the coins minted then?

[oak elbow]

CONCORD 2.0

[open jetty]

they will never escape this label huh

[wild cave]

probably not acuse that's literally what happened

[fervent walrus]

No concord got no publicity until and after its death. Marathon still got a chance.

[open jetty]

september didn't even look realistic. they knew internally they will have to delay launch.

[wild cave]

imo there was literally no way they could release september
also imo the people saying the game could release in september were either coping or just incredibly incorrect

[fervent walrus]

No it could release in september, it just would be a bad thing.

[still oasis]

they could have, concord launched too

[dreamy crow]

redfall is still being sold

[wild cave]

i guess that's fair
i think i meant more in the sense of the game would probably die if they released in september

[weak falcon]

We dont know but im willing to bet they wont push past Q2 2026

[wild cave]

probably not

gonna have to eventually try and get a return from their 10 year investment

[weak falcon]

And they probably wont just delay for like, a month

[still oasis]

wtf is redfall

[wild cave]

exactly

[dreamy crow]

youre lucky. i wish i didnt

[tidal harness]

Its indefinitely delayed

[fervent walrus]

Concord but maybe one level above it

Except conxord worked at launch.

[wild cave]

game should've had character stat customization on par with rpgs no wonder game failed to launch /s

[weak falcon]

Misleading, we'll have a new release date by the end of next quarter

[dreamy crow]

we are just speculating

its really tough to predict a date lately

[still oasis]

its called inference and its something only smart people do

[dreamy crow]

gamers are more sweaty and there are too many games too many opinions to anything have a chance. just being good

[fervent walrus]

The thing is heroes weren't evem that deeply implemented. I think you could easily remove them and make gadgets as arm implants and head implants and leg implants with cores as passives and implants for other implants. And then armor on top of that and back pack types and front puches

[tidal harness]

2026 is also packed with new titles

[dreamy crow]

even late this year is rough enough. yotei probably gonna take me some time to play if i find a job lol

[weak falcon]

I think most likely its gonna be spring 2026

[dreamy crow]

its best chance is to go through tests and feedback. like lately bflabs is blowing my mind

[tidal harness]

before GTA VI?

[wild cave]

they probably thought making abilities into items would be a balance nightmare
which, fair
but also it's a cyberpunk esque game you can't just not have customization imo

[fervent walrus]

And i doubt may with gta vi

[burnt lagoon]

Damn ctrl + c ctrl + v. F

[fervent walrus]

Yes before may

[dreamy crow]

anything post gta 6 can suffer as well

[weak falcon]

Id guess march/april but they may even do a feb launch

[dreamy crow]

i imagine anything after gta 6 needs to wait some months

[cyan bridge]

Cyberpunk 2077 mentioned. Giggling and kicking my feet as we speak.

[wild cave]

what are they gonna do in 5 months

[fervent walrus]

I think march is best bet

[fervent walrus]

Their best

[still oasis]

this redfall game is hilarious who greenlit this shit and who let it run for years

[weak falcon]

They havent revealed a new date bc they dont have a concrete answer. What does this imply? Sony has given them some leeway to make that decision themselves or they are still in deliberation

[tidal harness]

Clean up plagarized stuff

[wild cave]

that's like the bare minimum they have to do

like legally

[kindred vigil]

ok what are u all talking about and if u say scroll up I'm gonna ignore u

[weak falcon]

My guess is that theyre gonna be heads-down through the summer until they show the game off again, and during that time they'll monitor progress and make a judgement call on the date based on that

[dreamy crow]

i dunno im high

[cyan bridge]

Awww. Neeto is gone.

[fervent walrus]

Add proxy chat
Solo and duo play
Finally show the spht compiler everyone knows they have.
New runners
New guns
The marathon map
Actual blood
Fix the map color and fidelity
Etc

[wild cave]

marathon delay and when they'll release

[tidal harness]

They are also waiting to see how Arc Raiders will fair

[kindred vigil]

I loop back to teto after a while don't worry

[wild cave]

oh yeah u right i forgot about that announcement

[dreamy crow]

alot of good stuff

[weak falcon]

Aside from balancing, a lot of this game's problems are superficial

[cyan bridge]

I want it NOW! wahuhuhuhuuuu!!!

[still oasis]

they know they're cooked tbh

[kindred vigil]

Marathon isn't delayed if you remember time is a social construct and simply manipulate it to ur advantages

[wild cave]

where is the blue blood

[tidal harness]

Actual Blood will never happen. You'll get that blue stuff

[still oasis]

like imagine working at bungie rn and being like "we got a big hit on our hands!"

[fervent walrus]

One thing i know wont happen but i wish is changing from heroes to generic runners

[wild cave]

i mean blue blood was in the original teaser

[dreamy crow]

yea at this stage that will be the best thing to do

[tidal harness]

Why would anyone imagine that. That would be the worst imagination ever

[fervent walrus]

Thats what i meant. Not the glow stick cube blood from the alpha

[still oasis]

if you have a lot of empathy you can imagine what its like to be other people. it's good

[wild cave]

i saw the body's dematerializing in the alpha and i just thought of the Finals effect on death

[fervent walrus]

They aren't. You think they don't see all the hate theyve gotten? Its definetly a grim time to be an employee ar bungie.

[fervent walrus]

The problem was it clowed and was cubish in the alpha

[still oasis]

do bad work, get bad reviews

[wild cave]

blame the leadership not the individual devs lmao

[weak falcon]

Their list of focus areas was good, and it was stuff I've seen people actually talking about at length, I believe them when they say theyre taking in feedback

[dreamy crow]

i wont lie im torn between liking the runners just potential and designs. i dont know how fully customizable would work. but they could serve as base models

[jolly ingot]

sussy

[still oasis]

naw the leadership hired the lower downs, they did a bad job hiring people who do a bad job

[wild cave]

??????? that's just leadership then

[fervent walrus]

So still leadership fault?

[leaden solstice]

Still bad leadership at the end of the day.

[quartz abyss]

is ur name beabadoobee

[wild cave]

that's still leaderships fault?????

[weak falcon]

Heroes are here to stay, it'd likely be too much work to redesign runners and character models to be modular

[wild cave]

fuck heros

[weak falcon]

Chuck P Baker is a known ragebaiter

[wild cave]

give me the fps mmo rpg i wanted

[dreamy crow]

and they said that a hero could save us im not gonna stand here and waiiiiiiiiiiit

[still oasis]

i'm just smarter than everyone else here so i give free advice

[leaden solstice]

Case in point.

[dreamy crow]

there goes my hero. watch him as he goes

[viscid osprey]

nobody paying 40 for this slop

[fervent walrus]

I need one of these but void smoking a silkworm

[kindred vigil]

You asked and u received

[dreamy crow]

wow. who asked if you were?

[spring void]

remember the rule kids
1 delay is fine, 2 delays is worrying, 3 delays is dead project

[fervent walrus]

Then im that guy from the odyseey

[cyan bridge]

HELL YES! Neeto party june 23th 2025.

[kindred vigil]

can someone do an ad hominem just learnt it and I wanna use it

[fervent walrus]

What examples of this rule?

[tidal harness]

Some individuals were an issue as well. I don't think that Osiris and Saint-14 relationship nonsense shoving down our throats or that Nimbus character was request from a management person.

If you have played Destiny 2 you would know what i'm saying.

[still oasis]

odysseus?

[spring void]

you're stinky and that's why your argument is bad

[quartz abyss]

raaaa

[kindred vigil]

Ad hominem. Heh. I win, because I used a fancy word...

[fervent walrus]

Yah he told the cyclops he was nobody

[viscid osprey]

just stating the obvious brochacho

[dreamy crow]

ranch it up

[still oasis]

he was at the time

[weak falcon]

Snowflake

[viscid osprey]

slop ass game💔✌️

[dreamy crow]

i dont even remember destiny lore

[weak falcon]

Thats ok neither does bungie

[dreamy crow]

ok brotendo

[spring void]

first one that pops to mind is homeworld 3 but that's a bit more niche
cyberpunk 2077 also got 3 delays and it was a complete mess on launch, even if it got fixed later (god I wish homeworld got that treatment but its problems were too foundational)

[fervent walrus]

Something about light

[still oasis]

elon musk made an android that we had to play horde mode to talk to every week

[spring void]

basically the more a project gets delayed, the more apparent it becomes that it's being mismanaged

[dreamy crow]

travelers etc its like a dream i just remember moments and shooting and being addicted

[spring void]

same logic as once is coincidence, twice is happenstance and three times is enemy action

one time is just shit happens, twice is ehhh benefit of the doubt, three times is a pattern

you can draw a line with two points but you can draw a curve with three
etc. etc.

[still oasis]

its kinda crazy to delay a tiger engine game like that shit is just falling farther behind

[dreamy crow]

ii guess the best thing to do is never show a game early but how would anyone get funds like that

[fervent walrus]

Legend of zelda botw got delayed by 2 years and look how it turned out

[spring void]

gamers bitching about engines don't know anything about how game dev works, you can make a game on an old engine just fine and it's generally better for the devs to use what they're familiar with

tiger is a janky pile of spaghetti code but that doesn't really matter for the end user

[dreamy crow]

yea well thats an endless battle

[nocturne veldt]

BIG SAD

[still oasis]

you think a multi billion dollar studio working in tiger is gonna be as productive as a smaller team working in ue eh

[dreamy crow]

mindseye is full of spaghetti code

[spring void]

minecraft was made in java, which is objectively a godawful language to write a game in and it became the bestselling game of all time

[still oasis]

i agree that team size is a good predictor of success. it's good that bungie did layoffs but bad that they weren't big enough

[spring void]

if the team is more familiar with tiger, yes.
Look at mass effect andromeda, they shifted from UE to frostbite and a LOT of the problems they had were because they had to learn a new engine and wrangle it into making a game it was never designed for

like I know you're just a troll out here farming engagement but I'll still answer your questions lol

[nocturne veldt]

look at Pearl Abyss- they designed that engine specifically for Black Desert and were able to accomplish everything they wanted, and at the time it was a technical marvel (imo still kind of is)

[dreamy crow]

how big should a team be

[spring void]

as big as it needs to be

[still oasis]

my point is that it was a mistake to try to start a new venture based on a calcified codebase

[spring void]

and my point was you're wrong, dumb, stinky and don't know what you're talking about

[dreamy crow]

they need a team for support and ffuture content, others on new projects its tough

[still oasis]

i'm ok with you being wrong on that one brother

[dreamy crow]

are you stanky?

[still oasis]

fresh like flowers, friend

[spring void]

corpse flower more like

[dreamy crow]

corpse flower sounds like a cool band

[fervent walrus]

Smell lile the mushrooms on that one dead colonist

[warm spoke]

Lmao knew this game would flop on development after that awful beta 🤣🤣

[still oasis]

d2 was one big beta

[austere zodiac]

Delayed again?

[dreamy crow]

so funny hahaha

[warm spoke]

At least arc raiders is gonna be amazing

[cyan bridge]

Holy ragebait.

[spring void]

don't respond to the trolls, people
even calling them out is giving them attention

[austere zodiac]

Can’t believe how many people pretended to like it

[dreamy crow]

i do wish embark the best but imagine being him

[warm spoke]

Put all the players in marathon into arc raiders. Will be epic I can't wait. Definitely taking some days off work

[fervent walrus]

Eas with the game since the begimnong. Was sad to see it change to xtr shooter but the first tech test erased all doubt. Cant wait for both marathon and arc raiders

[dreamy crow]

how come you come off as unemployed?

[spring void]

there's a fair number of flowers that smell like rotting meat to attract flies, the most famous one is the giant penis flower that's like 6 feet tall when blooming, but there's also some other ones. The flower that the bulbasaur line is based on is a parasitic flower that smells like rotting flesh as well, for instance

[warm spoke]

I'm a traveling home PT. I work. 😂

[austere zodiac]

Why does “offline” seem terminally online

[spring void]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_arum the scientific name is basically "really big looks like a penis" lmfao

[dreamy crow]

cause ive been offline for a couple of days job hunting lol

[still oasis]

can you please stop talking about j*bs

[dreamy crow]

its for who ever contacts me

[spring void]

me telling my friends I'm going to bed (I'm doomscrolling twitter in bed)

[austere zodiac]

Slur words in the big 2025 👀

[spring void]

we don't use the J word we call them unpaid opportunities at the amazon detention center

[dreamy crow]

ill get my hands off the keybord

[cyan bridge]

Job. Shower. No more fortnite.

[spring void]

don't use landlordphobic language people

[warm spoke]

Anyways! Gonna delete the discord now cause why be here. See you guys on arc raiders Oct 30th!!

[dreamy crow]

ahw man i respect that

[austere zodiac]

Cheers

[spring void]

I've literally never once heard anyone talk about arc raiders unless it was doomposting about marathon

[fervent walrus]

Cause of the test coming soon

[dreamy crow]

i wish i could delete discord and reddit

[spring void]

you can

[austere zodiac]

You should.

[dreamy crow]

from existence

[gleaming bough]

be whimsy

[warm spoke]

Just remember.....we all benefit from them not releasing a mid game. We the gamers benefit!

[spring void]

social media is a plague on society

[subtle hemlock]

I wouldn't do that, a lot of funny stuff would be gone

[spring void]

I want the cyberpunk datakrash to happen

[dreamy crow]

facts

[fervent walrus]

But then i wouldn't have met you 🥺

[still oasis]

discord first, do it now

[dreamy crow]

damn you make a good point

aye at least we all met. why does it feel like we're reaching the apocalypse

[fervent walrus]

Cause a good amount of media today pushes doomerism

[dreamy crow]

yea everything is doomer and gooner content

[fervent walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-snake-big-boss-gif-12248663

[fervent walrus]

Not wverything. You just got to know the right spot. And have the right mindset 💪

[subtle hemlock]

I view that the same way I do spicy food, it's good to have on hand but you should definitely limit how much you put on your sandwhich cause it might cause more problems than it solves

[dreamy crow]

like cat videos?

[subtle hemlock]

yup

[spring void]

because doom and gloom gets clicks and clicks make money
nobody cares if something is good
however there are a lot of things going to shit so

[fervent walrus]

Things go bad things go good things go sideways things go straight. Im just glad things go and so do i

[spring void]

anyways guys look at this isopod plush I made
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/699444129016447076/1376705528398610432/20250526_013917.jpg?ex=68534d6f&is=6851fbef&hm=63f6e58952ae27b89a82b8cc8729cac259f6957f168364ed397412b4dae66b76&
his name is goober

[subtle hemlock]

very cute isopod

[spring void]

I promise it's an isopod plush
blame bungie for not allowing embeds in this room

[dreamy crow]

that is a nice plush

[still oasis]

not bad

[fervent walrus]

Do you have an anomolocaris one

[spring void]

I do not

I should make one tho

however I have another isopod I'm making for a friend and then I was gonna make a plushie of my friend's jester oc
then I need to basically start my temperature blanket over from scratch cuz I fucked it up

so anomalocaris will have to wait

[dreamy crow]

anyways catch yall when theres more news lol have a good night/day im lucky i found out without youtube lol

[spring void]

not really working on anything rn cuz I'm crashing at a neighbor's because my AC broke
in the middle of summer, in texas 🫠

[still oasis]

for statistical purposes, you're homeless

[spring void]

I mean my house did catch fire, so

[subtle hemlock]

I've been there, always gotta have a portable AC on hand

[still oasis]

for reals shit dude

[subtle hemlock]

my response was ment for the summer comment, sorry about your house dude

[spring void]

yes, back in november
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1277136362545352705/1302715722379563059/20241103_120138.jpg?ex=6853130f&is=6851c18f&hm=aa52b33737a48773d5f8c9dfc170ba7dce91886f5cd64adb886017a758b5e86e&

[still oasis]

rebuild or teardown? damn

[spring void]

the funny thing about it, though, was I was playing amnesia the bunker when I smelled the smoke... and my biggest problem in the game was not enough fire

[subtle hemlock]

That's a good game

[spring void]

only one room got completely totaled, though there was a lot of water damage and the ceiling collapsed in a lot of the other rooms. They tore out pretty much everything inside but they didn't have to tear the house down, currently it has new drywall, a new roof and they rebuild the fireplace, I think they're in the process of figuring out the new flooring

[fervent walrus]

Its like that xbox smell controller they made

[spring void]

fucked up that the list of games like alien isolation begins with that and ends with amnesia the bunker
it's really the only kind of horror game I like

[still oasis]

crazy. i assume everyone made it out ok from the way you're talking about it? that's all that really matters if so

(except for the major construction and insurance nightmare, that matters too)

[spring void]

yeah it was just me, my dog and my tortoise, and we all got out fine
I did have an isopod bin that I lost tho, as well as the colony in my tortoise enclosure. I think they were mostly fine, I found some crawling around the wreckage that night. A firefighter didn't know what the isopod bin was and yeeted it out the window though qq

[subtle hemlock]

I mean there is the first Outlast that fits that and to an extent the RE2 Remake.

[spring void]

luckily the cost of repair actually came in like 10 grand under our insurance, and we found a rental in the same neighborhood for about $1500 less than our monthly housing budget

[spring void]

nah re2 is still way too actiony, it's not really scary

and I heard outlast was more like amnesia tdd

I mean specifically navigating large areas with an intelligent AI trying to track you down

anyways I'm gonna go play some ftl multiverse

[subtle hemlock]

I can see how that description fits, but outlast I'd put in the same camp as Alien Isolation more than TDD

[spring void]

I feel like the bunker was more of an experiment than a full game tbh
like yeah it's really spooky but once you actually unlock the whole map it's really small, and once you start going back and forth ferrying a bunch of fuel to the generator you basically lose all tension

[fading fossil]

Is this game dead

Willl it even ever be coming out?

[fervent walrus]

Nah

[fervent walrus]

Hopefully, current estimate is Q1 2026

[river remnant]

Indefinitely delayed and going dark once again for the time being until Fall this year

[fading fossil]

I still love the gunplay and the style of the game, but it needs big changes

[subtle hemlock]

That's fair, but hey it's always good to see experimentation in horror

[fervent walrus]

Fall wasn't confirmed but i could aee that. Any games coming out in the fall?

[fervent walrus]

Did you see the bungie.org post?

[fading fossil]

For some reason they just really want to compete with GTA6

[fading fossil]

no, what's it abt

[subtle hemlock]

For clarity Fall was when we would hear more news

[fervent walrus]

Not really more like avoid a grenade in a room

[fervent walrus]

Outlined things bungie is working on and game is delayed. (Was coming sep 23 this year)

[fading fossil]

yeah, I knew that was to good to be true

[fervent walrus]

Some of our immediate focus areas will be:

• Upping the Survival Game
  • More challenging and engaging AI encounters
  • More rewarding runs, with new types of loot and dynamic events
  • Making combat more tense and strategic
• Doubling down on the Marathon Universe
  • Increased visual fidelity
  • More narrative and environmental storytelling to discover and interact with
  • A darker tone that delivers on the themes of the original trilogy
• Adding more social experiences
  • A better player experience for solo/duos
  • Prox chat, so social stories can come to life

You’ll hear from us again later this Fall when we can share the progress we’ve made, alongside the game’s new release date. Thank you again for your patience and— much more importantly— your passion. Your continued feedback will help us le gaming experience we all know it can be.

[fading fossil]

I just hate the extraction shooter genre, they need to create a new breath of fresh air genre, like how The Finals did with Quick Cash

[fervent walrus]

I mean xtr are still relatively new and unexplored

[fading fossil]

I've played the other extraction shooter (I forgot what it was called) and it was also boring and unrewarding to play again

If it was more like Lethal Company, then that would be interesting and fun

[fervent walrus]

Arc raiders?

Dang you found it boring? I found it suspenseful

[river remnant]

To rephrase my initial response; we won't be hearing much about Marathon until later this Fall.

They mentioned it in the recent update post both in #marathon-news and Bungie.net that they would be going heads down to re-assess everything so far from the Alpha and other stuff internally.

[fading fossil]

not allot of content, just some drones and balls moving around. There was a big boss but it was so weak

[fervent walrus]

Oh no, i understand that, they just didn't really specify the time.

[river remnant]

There is no release time. We'll only hear more about the game in the Fall.

[brittle river]

before march 2026

[crisp skiff]

still 100x better than the state this game is in

[burnt ocean]

nothing ever happens

[fervent walrus]

I would of guessed around march 2026. Before doesn't seem like much time

[fervent walrus]

Literally everything happend with marathon

[crisp skiff]

now they get to compete with gta6

[brittle river]

gta6 not on pc day 1 is absurd BTW

[burnt ocean]

if you would consult the chart

[fervent walrus]

Thats why we aren't launching may

[fervent walrus]

You think somebpeople are going to buy a console just for gta6? And then you have the rumored price of $100. That doesn't seem anywhere near worth it

[brittle river]

people will buy a console for gta6

[crisp skiff]

brother people buy cod every year, ofc they'll buy it

[brittle river]

and by a console i mean the ps5

[crisp skiff]

prolly next gen launch title if guess since xbox made that post today

[brittle river]

next gen consoles arent until at least 27

[crisp skiff]

they'll pull a sneaky on us

[still oasis]

it's not rosy for the industry though cause the kind of guy who'd buy a console for gta6 isn't going to reproduce

[brittle river]

somehow both playstation and xbox are going to get a console out within a year

[clever root]

Sony made their mid cycle refresh. Xbox has yet to do that. That seems more likely.

[brittle river]

crazy how ps5 is gonna end with 0 games

[brittle river]

isnt xsx the mid refresh

[crisp skiff]

dude it's not the only game though, alot of people will buy them just like people bought the current gen

[brittle river]

and thats why they made 2 consoles on launch

[clever root]

XSX was flagship, XSS was budget version.

[brittle river]

xbox really just be making consoles like they're pokemon games now

[placid forge]

Just found out right now, level with me y'all, how joever is it

[weak falcon]

Delay is good news

[crisp skiff]

joe gatto level

[brittle river]

we got xbox one x|s, then series x|s, and now rog ally x|s 😭

[still oasis]

it's over, no buyers left in 10 years when the next class is entering fourth grade

[crisp skiff]

ally is a partner ship with rog

[weak falcon]

Rog ally is a failed steamdeck

[crisp skiff]

no buyers left when we get pulled into ww3 you mean....

[still oasis]

it'd be kinda good if it wasn't $1000

[brittle river]

cant wait for their next console to be named the xbox x|s and then expect their console to sell

[placid forge]

Yeah hopefully they remove the classes, I like the characters just make it mix and match with abilities

[brittle river]

this isnt happening

[small ledge]

it should

[brittle river]

isnt obesity a way to get out of the draft

[clever root]

Eh, it happened with Arc. It's not like there is a monumental amount of work being scrapped. Just some voice lines.

I'm not bothered by hero systems though.

[small ledge]

hero classes on a extraction shooter will never take off

[brittle river]

wall hacks in an extraction shooter is also absurd but whatever i guess

[burnt ocean]

no, like 40% of the military is overweight

[crisp skiff]

maybe idk homie, I aint a fatbody. Marines have a fitness standard.

[still oasis]

didn't work in ukraine, 55 and obese? to the front lines with you

[small ledge]

just give us a generic template that we can customize

[placid forge]

Lol sadly

[clever root]

If enough fall into an unhealthy category that it significantly impacts the draft, an exception will be made.

[gleaming bough]

I need more alcohol in my system I don't want to sleep

[brittle river]

thats also ukraine

[mild steppe]

The new Xbox ally looks good though

[placid forge]

Nasty guard be like

[brittle river]

just buy a steam deck

[weak falcon]

Id rather just play my games on the pc I already have

[jolly veldt]

its honestly bonkers that the steam deck is like, half the price of an xbox ally

[mild steppe]

The weaker Xbox ally will arguably be cheaper but the steam deck clears switch 2

[burnt ocean]

typing ts from a steam deck rn

[brittle river]

i GUESS the rog ally makes sense to buy if you ONLY own an xbox and want to play XBOX games that you already own

[crisp skiff]

I just prefer the ease of a console interface, that's why I'm hoping the next xbox has steam

[brittle river]

steam deck and switch 2 are completely different audiences

[mild steppe]

True

[jolly veldt]

imo switch 2 is better than steam deck cause i like the simplicity plus nintendo makes really good games

[brittle river]

i dont think people are really deciding between the two they already have the reason to pick the one they want

[placid forge]

Welp see y'all in six months for another play test 🥀

[weak falcon]

Honestly portable consoles never made much sense for me, if im out and about I usually dont have time to sit there and play video games, and if im at home id rather just use my more powerful stationary machine

[burnt ocean]

have fun with your $90 game "cards"

[mild steppe]

I’ve never been excited for a Nintendo game in my life and now they are charging 80 dollars for them lmaoo

Not to mention the switch 2 is more expensive then a ps5 lmao

[jolly veldt]

funny cause games like MKW are the same price as starfield and doom TDA on steam in my country

in fact, MKW is cheaper here than buying in the US

[crisp skiff]

gamepass gives me all that for free, yes this is a plug

not free but ykwim

[jolly veldt]

i would sub to game pass if the games didnt rotate. my biggest gripe

[mild steppe]

Xbox ally with game pass and steam is a cheaper and stronger route then the switch 2.

[crisp skiff]

you can emulate nintendo games on a steam deck as well....in minecraft

[burnt ocean]

everything is free in lithuania if you try hard enough ✌️ 🥀

[jolly veldt]

true

but it is pretty sus that mario kart and bananza cost 75 USD

in australia

[still oasis]

i honestly don’t understand the kind of person who spends 80 bucks on mario kart

[inland geyser]

i noticed that they revoked the september release date

[still oasis]

but i feel that it must be somehow tied to the collapsing birth rate

[crisp skiff]

youtubers and streamers

[still oasis]

spits

[crisp skiff]

the same people that played mindseye

[jolly veldt]

i preordered saints row 2022 at full price, that was the biggest regret of my life

[iron aspen]

yeahp.

[next gyro]

Also depends on if that’s your jam I suppose. If some like a type of game enough, they’ll probably just throw money at it if there’s a new one. Personal example would be dark souls for me

[crisp skiff]

that first trailer told me everything I needed to know about that game

[iron aspen]

moists video on it was great, i never watch the guy lmao

[mild steppe]

Zelda tears of wild is 80 for the switch 2 version, Nintendo hates their fans 💔

Shit came out in 2023

[still oasis]

completely wild that they priced kids out of nintendo games

[crisp skiff]

yeah but fromsoft never misses, other than bloodborne being only on ps and this new one only being on switch.

[jolly veldt]

that trailer was terrible, but i was excited for the customisation and open world destroy-shit shenanigans when more was revealed and loved previous SR games. i stopped playing after like, 4 hours as i got bored quickly

[iron aspen]

good games on xbox go on sale all the time, i can always get a great game for a few bucks at most there

[still oasis]

marathon may just be a metaphor for the entire industry

[jolly veldt]

i HATE souls games, gave AC6, Elden Ring and Nightreign a chance, but I just cant understand the appeal of the difficulty ToT

[candid talon]

don't worry somethin will give at some point

lmao especially since people will be spending less on luxuries soonish

[crisp skiff]

I just like being punished and kicked around

[vernal rain]

should have played Sekiro

[candid talon]

Oh shit we got a news post

[next gyro]

To be honest, I bought a ps4 specifically for bloodborne, but that was a time I worked a different job and had the moolah to fuel my questionable financial decisions

[mild steppe]

Nightreign is pretty good

[jolly veldt]

thats the problem, like with horror games. i dont want to stress when enjoying myself yknow?

[crisp skiff]

I like it but most of my friends are on pc, and randoms are absolutely trash..

[next gyro]

Don’t even talk to me about nightrein…I’ve already defiled my sleep pattern

[candid talon]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats actually good news that they actually fuckin listened unlike another game that came out .......recently 🙂

[iron aspen]

who's they?

[crisp skiff]

say it, be a man

[candid talon]

in the marathon news LOL

[iron aspen]

oh, yea

[candid talon]

oh i can't because im under NDA for 5 years

but it came out recently 🙂

[iron aspen]

happens

[vernal rain]

a real man would violate their nda

[candid talon]

moist critical was playing it today i guess

yeah well im not unfortunately I'm a pussified bitch

[vernal rain]

men say things

[limpid rover]

so do goats

[crisp skiff]

a real woman would violate the nda then

[vernal rain]

never forget it

[iron aspen]

im his alt; im saying marathon 2

[limpid rover]

marathan

[iron aspen]

marathing

[jolly veldt]

im honestly pretty happy bungie is looking into making the solo experience better. i thought being forced with randoms was a terrible decision for an exfil. there might be hope

[crisp skiff]

I just wanted gamechat so I can play horror music

[jolly veldt]

they said they are bringing prox chat too

[iron aspen]

im gonna delete prox chat

[jolly veldt]

im probs gonna turn it off myself, i am a bit sensitive to some noises, and planning on playing marathon with audio, which is not what i usually do so i want the game as predictable as possible, audio-wise

[next gyro]

“Nice to meet you runners, but it’s even better to meet me”

music blasting through proximity chat and getting our team wiped

[iron aspen]

finna blast hard breakcore through my mic

[jolly veldt]

heh, oh lord

[iron aspen]

parents: arguing
football game: on
floor fan: blasting

[candid talon]

dogs barking

[jolly veldt]

😭

[iron aspen]

xD

[jolly veldt]

lol

[mild steppe]

Real

[crisp skiff]

I'm gonna be worse that what I do in dayz at the comms building

[magic idol]

so marathon drop next year?

[jolly veldt]

im thinking even 2027 at this rate

[opaque torrent]

Won't it be push to talk for prox chat

[burnt ocean]

lets shoot for 2028 instead

[crisp skiff]

Push to talk not push to listen homie

[iron aspen]

arma 4 releases then so i dont think so

gonna drown out everything else

[jolly veldt]

wb elder scrolls 6?

[burnt ocean]

arma 4 🔥

[iron aspen]

who?

[iron aspen]

i say as ive never played an arma game

[jolly veldt]

its kinda crazy to think we may actually get half life 3 and silksong this year

[weak falcon]

Both of those arent happening

[burnt ocean]

at valve, we are proud to announce half life 4

[surreal nova]

If you were on my team I wouldn’t even be upset, depending on music choice

I kinda hate FBC firebreak which is fucking disappointing…

The gunplay is pretty weak. Guns feel like they fire spitballs

[next gyro]

Industrial, EBM, goth rock, metal of any flavor, psychobilly, whatever else falls between that, and specifically Nujabes for good measure

Also Firebreak is kinda slow at first, but I’ve been enjoying going deeper into the levels when things start getting chaotic

[alpine finch]

I guess we're not getting mpreg after all 😔

[surreal nova]

Shame. I was hoping you were going to slay out to Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift

It definitely feels slow. I wish they’d let you unlock higher clearances faster

I also don’t like how the guns feel. They don’t have any punch or weight

[alpine finch]

all they had to do was not steal art man... how hard is that not to do?? 😭

[next gyro]

I honestly only know one Taylor swift song, not that I’m on a hate wagon, but just because I’ve somehow gone my trip around the earth hearing only the one

[merry geyser]

Can’t just Sony have a mass restructuring of bungie clearly nothing is going their way and they’re losing more of their community day by day

[surreal nova]

Bungie makes a fuck ton of money with destiny 2 they’re doing fine

[surreal nova]

I know maybe three. I make it a rule never to be a music snob, or an art snob in general. Anything can move anyone emotionally

[merry geyser]

"Made" I would say is the correct way of saying it I have barely heard any new noise coming from people excited for the new dlc’s and define fine because it seems like there was a shitstorm going on over there considering they were radio silent for a month when that stolen art fuckery happened

[light ocean]

marton delayed?

[merry geyser]

Yurr

[light ocean]

guess I'll die

[surreal nova]

I love Star Wars and I fuck with the new dlc plans

[surreal nova]

Yes but delayed

[merry geyser]

Sure the concept is cool but it just makes no sense it’s just turning more and more into Fortnite every second

Like it’s bungie we’re talking about no way it’s that hard for them to think of new ideas instead of going Star Wars collab route

[hidden dove]

with them mentioning they want to dedicate more to the themes of the originals that they rework the art style just a little to be more in line with the originals. I like the current style and I hope they can find a middle ground but it'd be cool to have a style more like the original

[merry geyser]

To me it just seems like a lazy cash grab which it most likely is gonna be when people get to play it for a week

[rapid schooner]

Who's up sipping they coffee?

[light ocean]

you

[rapid schooner]

Stop you'll make me blush

[light ocean]

ok

[bitter sun]

i dont like character designs

[real crescent]

What do we think of Marathon being delayed?

[burnt ocean]

i can wait

[real crescent]

sameee

i think the delay is the best thing that could have happened

[bitter sun]

what they could do during the delay fix the the character designs

[burnt ocean]

idk bro

[bitter sun]

my point is character design bad

also does nucaloric give shotguns

[real crescent]

well what about the Character design is bad

[bitter sun]

too gender neutral

me no likey

[real crescent]

really?

[burnt ocean]

lmao

[real crescent]

the only one I can see that being the case for is void

[humble sparrow]

Since when did synthetic humans have gender roles

[bitter sun]

you shoudla tleast know what they used to be before they were put in synthetic bodies

[burnt ocean]

me when the lab grown humanoids dont have balls or boobs

[humble sparrow]

For all we know that void can be a girl who has uploaded her brain and said nah i wanna be a dude synthetic with a dude voice

[surreal nova]

Why would synthetic humans not have gender roles? Gender is a social construct and presumably these humans live in a society

[burnt ocean]

marathon went woke??????? smh 0/10 unplaybable now

[humble sparrow]

Ay im just saying

[rapid schooner]

We live in a society batman

[humble sparrow]

No need to complicate the characters it can be like the player builds their own character lore

[light ocean]

girl she/they help the gender has followed me into the computerised afterlife

[humble sparrow]

🤣

[burnt ocean]

lmfao

[idle vapor]

Womp womp

[humble sparrow]

All be it im interested to see where marathon will end up now with the delay

[rapid schooner]

Everyone knows bungie likes to make characters robots, like halos mister cheif

[humble sparrow]

Huh thats a dude inside a suit of armor

[dreamy warren]

Guys I'm so upset

[rapid schooner]

No im quite sure it's not. He projects other robots and falls in love and uses the power of love to stop the aliens

[dreamy warren]

I just lost a god tier barony run to falling in a death pit. I didn't even know you could fall in this game

[rapid schooner]

Did you even play the games?

[burnt ocean]

are you sad that you cant see boobs in the game (or balls, i dont judge)

[humble sparrow]

Ive played every single halo game

[rapid schooner]

Multi-player doesnt count.

[humble sparrow]

story

[light ocean]

Locus what is this behaviour?

[rapid schooner]

If you watched the movie you'd know. The TV series isn't real

[burnt ocean]

there's a movie??????

[rapid schooner]

In halo wars 2 mission 3 it talks about it.

[humble sparrow]

I didn’t watch the tv series because of what others said it being so bad i left it alone

[rapid schooner]

3 movies actually 🤓

[light ocean]

are there any LGBTs in the ch

I frew up

at make some soundss 🌈 ☁️

[burnt ocean]

when did theey come out????????/a

[humble sparrow]

Ive watched the movies aswell when they came out

[rapid schooner]

Many moons ago. One was around halo 4 release.

[humble sparrow]

Between halo 1 till reach i think

[burnt ocean]

dang

i live under a rock

[humble sparrow]

Yeah I don’t think they are live action tho

[rapid schooner]

Reach tells the story on how the other robots made mister cheif and had to blow up the planet to do so

[humble sparrow]

🤣

[rapid schooner]

Its in the lore.

[humble sparrow]

You mean glassed not explode

[burnt ocean]

It was a pondering orb

A gift to halo

[real crescent]

real talk do you guys think that they intentionally stole the art?

[gilded burrow]

may be it was bungie plan from a beginning to create fake dramma so sony wont ruin a project by rush

[bronze vigil]

i still actually play WipeOut lul

[gilded burrow]

cuz in current state marathon would fail 1000%

[bronze vigil]

i think the guy that had gotten canned for being weird to the women in the office that they said did it did. i even suspect designer jealousy

but that's just speculation, i don't know shit lol

[burnt ocean]

[surreal nova]

So many good games, so little time

The one with the 200milli lawsuit?

Does the new guy even know what he's doing?

Delay for lyf

[gleaming spruce]

When are you letting non Americans into the alpha/beta then?

[bitter sun]

yeah i want to be in beta

[bronze vigil]

i sure do not know

[smoky dome]

Non-americans were in the last one, the test was just focused on NA, because of limited server infrastructure, but NA wasn't required for anyone that won or received a priority invite code that was given out for the ARG or randomly from raffles during the Bungie stream or other CC's streams

omf, the load times for banner suuuuucc right now

gah finally. been waiting like 10 minutes lol

[quick drum]

That was the old director and the new one lead this game into tba flip flop towards a death spiral 💀

[bronze vigil]

i mean its a little soon to call that

[quick drum]

The launch date was pulled, no new date, marketing cancelled, devs radio silent, key leadership also silent(💀), no new gameplay or media shown

[bronze vigil]

did you miss the dev notes from a day ago?

[quick drum]

Not at liberty to seek investors, Sony has nothing to hope for, and sure destiny won't be funding marathon dev hell

[bronze vigil]

bruv i get there are issues but you kinda sound like an anti shill right now. i've watched this server hum to life with people super happy its back on for the last 20 hours or so. vibe is, its on, just no specific dates

[quick drum]

I wouldn't call a flip flop to tba due to proxchat anything good lol

[bronze vigil]

ok man, sorry your bum be achin' i guess

[quick drum]

You're being extra weird and inappropriate thinking about my bum

[lilac glade]

Im so tired of people shitting on marathon its just constant here

[bronze vigil]

ok bruv, whatever

[bronze vigil]

i'm worn out by hearing modern gamers just bitch about everything all day like its the hobby instead of playing the damned games

[quick drum]

I'm sure all the reanimated people cheering for the tba will not get this to the finish line

[bronze vigil]

we should try to keep companies and check and give feedback but its just like its all some people seem to have in their lives. like asmongold and the like polyped a meaningless movement

[lilac glade]

I dont even know, there are just so many people who just absolutely hate bungies guts and dont want marathon to succeed

[bronze vigil]

they need to find something in their lives worth putting energy towards, what a waste of time

[quick drum]

You sound like you need a sanity check bruv

[bronze vigil]

waah waah

[lilac glade]

YES EXACTLY feedback and approaching stuff in good faith is so much more important than the constant negative noise people put out

[bronze vigil]

my point

[quick drum]

Wasn't your point some culture war thing just a second ago?

[bronze vigil]

haterz gun' h8🕶️

[rapid schooner]

Least we get another halo 4 and 5, let the devs cook

[bronze vigil]

yep

[quick drum]

Cooked not cooking

[bronze vigil]

damn dawg, you are so much better than this game, we see that

[rapid schooner]

If so then nothing lost

[quick drum]

Probably best not to be projecting on me, you're unlikely to hit anything

[bronze vigil]

that made 0 sense but ok

[rapid schooner]

But have you seen this cat ?

[bronze vigil]

here it is

[reef summit]

Why are you even here? All you're doing is spewing shit, you don't care about the game, the door is that way.

[bronze vigil]

kid u succ go home

take a damn shower too, i'm sure

[quick drum]

[bronze vigil]

sorry, i was just testing out Prox 🔊

[glacial bane]

I like video games, is that allowed to say these days

[bronze vigil]

[bronze vigil]

i wuv u fren

[quick drum]

Do you not take showers? What kind of projection is that even?

[glacial bane]

Hi bestie how are u today

[bronze vigil]

awesome insomnia sauce

[quick drum]

Probably take a shower and go to sleep, you listening to your own advice would be a step ahead

The stank you're senseing is your own, you can't smell over the internet

[bronze vigil]

a devasting blow. ouch omg my ego is withering in the nuclear breeze like Goku farted next to me or some shit aaa

thanx for the entertainment btw

[quick drum]

Sounds like you have a fetish that you can't hold to yourself

[bronze vigil]

wat

[quick drum]

Do you not see what you type?

[bronze vigil]

dude if you're gonna try to go around the internet "well actually"ing and dunking on people you should try to at least make sense, or you look even dumber

yeah ok, sure man. gutter mind i swear

i can't find any of this arousing. thank god

[edgy swift]

Whats goin on?

[bronze vigil]

this guy. just. this guy.

[quick drum]

Go to sleep man, shower first and probably figure out your own self improvement

[bronze vigil]

oof. just. ugh.

does he actually think he's like being valiant or making a point or something?

dude we all collectively think you need to bug off, if you're dumb enough to think you're somehow winning this dumb thing you basically started you are really out of touch with sanity

we like Marathon, that's why we're here. go do something with your life.

[edgy swift]

[quick drum]

lmao

You sound like you're fighting the shadows mang

[bronze vigil]

hey, wait a minute, you're from another studio, aren't you?

i see that on your profile. what a douchebag

gtfo out of here you jerkbag just hazing another studios fans, i'm sure that'll get you mad sales dude

[bronze vigil]

dude just lying doesn't make you win shit. i don't think anyone here thinks you even believe the crap you're fronting. you got nothin'

alright i'm done. just ignoring you at this point

Marathon delayed.. Win for everyone i guess. Still id like to play a test run someday. Offending asseys removed and outdoor graphics improved ofc

[quick drum]

how is it a win for everyone?

[drowsy bronze]

And some time to cook the story of the supposedly story driven game no?

[bronze vigil]

alpha peeps are getting back in. a lot of us think they should add some people at least

i mean i want them to take the time to do it right, launch correctly ect

WORM ALWAYS WINS

[magic rose]

Fr now i wont get 2 even play

[drowsy bronze]

Considering itll be about 60AUD when it does come, yeah rather it be done right rather than having a concord. Think sony pushed for it

[bronze vigil]

i mean that was the move to make

[drowsy bronze]

Worm has time for metamorphosis...

[bronze vigil]

all things considered

[quick drum]

i doubt sony pushed for this, they have no incentives, no roadmap, and they'd have to fund it if they did

[bronze vigil]

🥨

[FEEDTHEWORM]

[quick drum]

getting it 'done right' sounds nice, but what's the evidence it will be? A delay to TBA isn't time to polish it's panic

[bronze vigil]

🪭

[quick drum]

Sony pushing for a delay makes no sense, they have every incentive to ship not stall...

[lime sand]

They should just cancel it and let the devs go work on other SONY projects Bungie has been going downhill for a long time

[quick drum]

Sony wants ROI not vaporware or vibe checks :/

[bronze vigil]

dude really, this guy's profile says he's from another studio and he is just hanging to haze, we got mods awake yet?

[lime sand]

He's right tho

[prime wraith]

Hi, had issue looting while playing a few months back
it was pretty frustrating
im considering joining the game again now
is the game fine now?

[bronze vigil]

that is the only other choice that makes sense, but rushing it doesn't. either cancel or fix, not halfway

[bronze vigil]

under extended dev, not playable right now

[lime sand]

It seems confusing because they were supposed to be dialing back with Destiny to focus on this project, but the new Destiny expansion for this coming year they are promoting like it's Destiny 3

[magic rose]

Why would they jeopardise destiny

[lime sand]

It's been in jeopardy for years bro

[bronze vigil]

naw, i hear that, its just at this point, marathon exists and looks promising to enough people. if they nail things down right, they can pull it off. a bit late to just abort, a lot of money already went in

[drowsy bronze]

yeah that's not recent.

[magic rose]

Yea I've been hearing that since 2016

[prime wraith]

got it 🫡 thanks

[quick drum]

very confusing behaviour in general :.

[bronze vigil]

i don't think anyone would argue that the company doesn't need a clean up internally

[drowsy bronze]

destiny 2's been in trouble since.. shadowkeep? too many strange and backwards decisions

[lime sand]

The whole expansion change they made was because destiny wasn't making them any money, they wanted to switch to smaller expansions over time now they are praising this new expansion as the second coming

[drowsy bronze]

witch queen seems to have been a flash in the pan. a flash I enjoyed but going to completely tedious seasons after that made me quit

[bronze vigil]

and yet it has chugged forward. kinda whiplashy. i do hope they finally nail it down

[drowsy bronze]

that and it doesn't run on linux and no way no how I was buygin the game and all expansions again on ps4

[bronze vigil]

i'm just saying it looks like they may finally be getting it towards right. so i guess lets just wait and see, cuz that's life

[lime sand]

Unfortunately that's just an industry standard still with lack of Linux support

[quick drum]

possibly that's just a clear sign of collapse internally, maybe they take Destiny as some sort of fallback

[lime sand]

And with the way anti cheats have been going it doesn't look like studios are in a huge rush for full Linux support

[drowsy bronze]

gets up to like 200 AUD if you re-buy all of D2 again to change platform. absolutely absurd. Rather spend some of that on something fresh, like marathon

[bronze vigil]

you know, they probably should add linux support. i didn't know that was an issue

[drowsy bronze]

I still need to go back and play the originals too, I did beat Doom I/II with DSDA doom

[lime sand]

Anti cheats nowadays are actively preventing people from using linux

[bronze vigil]

i got the doom 1/2 version on ps5 on sale for like 2 bucks. crazy how that old shit held up

[drowsy bronze]

its not that it won't run, it's that they played into the myth that all linux players cheat. When what was really happening is kids on windows were using their cheats to spoof their kernel name and tell the anti cheat to step down security

[lime sand]

Which is somewhat understandable, Linux has a ton of variables and could be hard to optimize for a lot of games

[bronze vigil]

i got so much to learn about modern computing. i game on console, design on PC, so i didn't know

[lime sand]

Yeah you used to be able to emulate the requirements for games in Linux but they have been cracking down on it

[drowsy bronze]

you can't have deep, kernel level security risk-y anticheat on linux. it's just not how the OS works. on windows developers can do whatever they want to your system in the name of anticheat they can get such deep access. fairly sure riot's vanguard AC was caught scanning browser history at some point

[lime sand]

Yeah moving back to kernal level is a mistake as a whole

[drowsy bronze]

this is why a combo of a linux PC and a console of choice is the way to go, some developers just don't care and never will. even despite the success of the steam deck

[lime sand]

I get why they are doing it but anyone who knows what that entails wants nothing to do with it

[tame nacelle]

Teto word of the day!

[lime sand]

Mhm

[drowsy bronze]

then you have respawn who were full steam ahead with supporting linux until one day something changed and they suddenly decided no, all linux players are cheaters, and disabled apex legends on linux clients forever

[tame nacelle]

Duck

[lime sand]

I'm forgetting which company it is right now but one of them just introduced a new anti cheat that basic can access anything on your machine

[drowsy bronze]

could be any of them at this point

[quick drum]

i'm not that excited of giving corpos full access to my machine just so they can claim to prevent cheats

[bronze vigil]

i wanna run marathon on a 1980's digital watch, will there be support to print out my screencaps on a dot matrix printer?

[drowsy bronze]

mihoyo and riot are the single worst examples, but there's so many that effectively run like rootkits

[lime sand]

Oh it was bethesda

[drowsy bronze]

i don't have anything to hide but i'm allowed to be icked by that

[bronze vigil]

sounds like bethesda

[lime sand]

I mean even having nothing to hide, they have access to your password files

[quick drum]

there's plenty of things on modern pcs that are private information :.

[lime sand]

Bank account info etc

[drowsy bronze]

as far as I remember destiny 2's isn't kernel level, still gets cheaters, but it specifically checks for linux kernel names and bans your entire bungie account if you even attempt to connect D2 using proton

[lime sand]

Yeah

[bronze vigil]

my folder full of pics of slices of pizza? they can see that?

[lime sand]

It's not kernel level for destiny, but does prevent linux

Most online games prevent linux

[quick drum]

at some point i'd rather have cheaters

[drowsy bronze]

at some point devs gotta give and realise a combination of heavy server side and light client side AC is the only way to be certain

check for dumb common stuff on the client, do the heavy thinking on your servers

[bronze vigil]

sorry, but what is AC in tech terms, at this time?

[drowsy bronze]

think that's how valve's VACnet works if you play CS2 on linux, for example

[bronze vigil]

Armored Coooooore

[quick drum]

i agree that a lot of the invasive anti cheat mechanism seem to be spawned from aversion of doing checking server side

[drowsy bronze]

if they say marathon is peer to peer again i swear

[lime sand]

Yeah it's funny too because most indie companies which are the ones that wouldnt be able to afford doing that completely allow Linux, the major companies prevent it

[quick drum]

and instead trying to police peoples machines

[drowsy bronze]

bungie's P2P system has never been that great, even since halo 2

wouldn't be surprised if bits and pieces of the original H2 networking live on in destiny/tiger engine and subsequently marathon '25/26

[lime sand]

I haven't had many problems with destiny in that aspect but the old halo days were bad and destiny 1

[quick drum]

they want thin weak servers that trust all the input, and honest pure pcs with no hax 😮

and obviously any commited cheat will get right past that, maybe even get into hardware modding like they do on consoles

[drowsy bronze]

where it gets fuzzy is checking the timing of things like hacked rates of fire and reload speed, because you have to account for lag and interpolation

[bronze vigil]

isn't this an issue because capitalism, in short? what would give more incentive for them to make more effort? that's what you'd have to figure out to change it across the industry

[drowsy bronze]

but easy dumb stuff the server can double check like the damage of something per hit or how much health you're supposed to have? if there's a discrepancy? instantly flag the account as suspicious and stop it from playing

that way if the client anticheat, which is only supposed to be light and unobtrusive, doesnt' catch some easy dumb cheat software some kid downloaded for free, the server is also checking everything is within the set and known rules of the game

[quick drum]

why do people cheat? and is it possible to anihilate that behaviour? i don't think so

[lime sand]

Ofc not

[drowsy bronze]

defeating the security of a game on a client is suppoesdly easy. if the server has its own protection and its set up well? the effort is nigh unscalable. you make it not worth the hassle for the typical scumbags that bungie has already sued

[bronze vigil]

honestly i study psych and am trying to go into studying neurology and the like. it would be nearly impossible. some people just want to feel the win who don't want to work hard, don't believe they can, or really just can't. big enough population of humans, groups for almost any behavior emerge in notable amounts.

[drowsy bronze]

don't trust the client, treat physical access as a security breach in itself. there are even hardware cheat devices that run on direct memory access y'know

instead trust your server and have it judge the clients

[lime sand]

That's what pisses so many people off about companies like Bethesda and bungie is they both started as small studios and praised making games for the love of video games but have become profit focused
