yeah but is not the same because of Quantom Dot
its alive and retains memories
Technically, plasma TVs are superior to OLED tvs.
robot pixel does not
true
And CRTs are superior to the above. But it doesn't match the market curve and what's being produced.
i play super mario on crt
ur a robie pixel, tabby
I mean, you should be playing it this way.
I'm just thinking the individual pixel HDR OLEDs going to pop
Vs multi zone HDR or nohdr
but screen burn in, son.
It's really going to come down to cost vs pq, and rapid scaling.
gottemm
34" 1440p OLED is like double the price of IPS
yeah and that's a problem
im playing on that rn
too expensive
as most people just don't have a desercerning eye for it.
problem for the poors
tabby, i'm gonna TK you in BF6 so hard.
we need to play
yeah so I can TK tf out of you
open beta today, hop on bestie
I've been on for days. Come on.
Isn't it too bright? Running HDR?
hmm i enjoy the brightness illuminating my dark habitat
but i will just started and will be noob š
is there bot mode i can practice on first, lest my k/d suffers
forever cemented onto my bf profile forever
When you first get one, it takes a bit of getting used to, but man itās nice.
I feel like this was expected tbh
On the bright side tho no more Pete Parson taking charge
Backflips and Farts
If you have an Intel GPU you are in luck.
GET OUTTA HERE
thank you mods
This server should have a bot that autodeletes those hack links.
Think that would be Dyno right?
Totally agree. I upgraded my monitor recently and the difference is night and day.
too bad no one has an Intel gpu
Sup
just finished the new mafia old country game, it was ight though ngl
when they gonna do beta test?
No announced plans rn
any news if this game will come out?
I have!
Intel is the official partner of BF6 so everything is optimized and good.
sure...
What?
whatever you say pal
Don't you know Intel GPU's exist?
I rather not.
How we doing
feeling slimeyš
I need to shower but I'm lazy
Shower solves that
not really
my mom was half slime
Okay get out the brillo
So I just heard Bungie is getting absorbed into Sony from MintBlitz video
ew
Old news
I'm showered and ready to party
Oh okay letās go I guess
Going to Korean fried chicken first though
fite me 
anyone playing this game or ???
.
i didnt know if a beta was out or anything
The game is a social experiment
Been two playtest since the april alpha. One in june and one in july. Seems to be monthly.
Thereās no game, just this discord
how do i get access?
and is it available on ps5? or just PC
Did you apply for the april alpha? Its on XboxX/S PS5 and PC.
yeah didnt get it
Well they aren't open for applications right now so just gotta wait till they announce that. :/
So there's just no more marathon huh
yeah it'll be replaced by a myth game instead
Legendary I had high high hopes
I'm kidding it's still in development just delayed #marathon-news
Aha funny guy got me
They're dime a dozen here
Thereās a lot of themes that hit just right.
Is the closed alpha test no longer accepting people?
Ok ready now
I'm already out

Saw a couple clickbait thumbnails saying bungie is dead. Was there some news I wasnāt aware of?
What are you aware of
so the game is dead
Bungie is losing their independence slowly
no marathon
Desolving slowly into Sony as higher ups in the company are being moved to senior positions at Sony
can i get 1 maratohn
marathon is still better than bf6
well one of these games actually exists and is playable and the other one is marathon
Games dead bro
guys why the hell do I need to verify my id to look at the alpha info channel ?
are u british
chat one of my coworkers asked me 'how many femboys have you cracked' and i didnt know what it meant and it made me feel old please explain what it means
Femboys means projects you've done, must be alot, just say that your all good homie š
death
but im a line cook :,(\
Dishes/projects you've made*
he means plates femboy is a french term for a type of plate u know
like a ramiken or whatever
Basically how many of them have been in ur bed is what they said
ā©
how many spiders in ur bed
do you have spiders in ur bed orzi
I forgot bout ts game is it dead?
#marathon-news delayed
Oh it's delayed pretty much a forgotten game
Nah there's been closed play tests and people are still very excited for it
Again haven't heard a word bout ts game since 2024 it's forgotten for the most part
When next code drop
Probably next week or the week after tbh
You have to be signed up for the NDA play tests which I did by getting an email from them
From what I can tell its only for people who played the alpha
That's correct
People who played the original alpha have a random chance of getting into the nda test
no but i got bit but i think it was a mosquito š°
Everyone I know who played the alpha is in the NDA closed play tests so I thought it was almost everyone
no it's random chance your people are just really lucky
Guess again hehehehehe :3
release videogame
Release
Bacon!!!!
Plagiarism will make me god
Did something happen why are there more weird people coming in saying shit like "dead game"
Nah, I think itās just Saturday night, so people with things to do are doing them, which skews the ratio of posts more towards the ādead gameā style.
CHOICES
Maybe because it is. Itās not as though the game is live right now. Dead game.
games dead?
Game still getting built
When can I play Marathon š„°
yo did marathon drop yet?
hi
quick question, is it still possible to enter the closed testing or whatever its called
or thats not possible anymore?
do people think the game will even launch at all atp_
like not hating just geniunely wondering what people think
Like to me the entire structure was wrong, PvE should have mattered more. To me it should have been more like the Division dark zone where there is PvP but still lots of PvE events like fortresses with loot rooms and a boss at the end, roaming bosses, PvE factions fighting each other. Especially on the faction side, I think we should see multiple warring factions on the same map either as small chance event or just as a natural part of the map. Balancing loot around this could be dead enemies not taking substancial damage to a player only drops ammo if killed by another AI.
the structure is fine. games like the cycle frontier combine pvpve perfectly
yeah and this does what the cycle does but worse and it is probably 40$
loot mattered in the cycle it doesnt in what we have seen, it is all just reskinned money
have you seen the gameplay of people fighting the AI?
oh well yeah
yeah it is alright, maybe even good, but what does it matter if the AI doesnt drop anything interesting or have any real variation yk
yeah i get what you mean
I thought the game was fun in short bursts
But I think the division inspiration should be there, yeah
They said a lot about how they started with persistent servers and it didn't work out etc etc
like I want a crazy loot pool or make it so there is a small chance for the regular AI to spawn with a rare gun encouraging you to clear the entire group just for that 1 gun you spotted
Right. Imagine collecting crazy alien weapons
excactly I want crazy alien guns, like imagine scouting a location and in the middle of lots of enemies you see 1 grunt with a fancy thermal scope on his gun or a cryo grenade launcher underbarrel attachment, I want to then be able to clear the area to strip that grunt's gun and put the attachment on my own gun
that is like 90% of the fun with scavs in Tarkov is seeing their unique loot, their AI is very stale sure they can be lethal because it is a 1 shot 1 kill game at times, but the fun is in every scav feels like opening a loot chest that can have anything in it
they can have pretty much any gun in the game id say 80% of the time they spawn with a busted up stock gun and nothing in their backpack, but the other 20% of times they might spawn with a powerful DMR, a bolt action with a good scope, good bodyarmor, a valuable item in their bag.
also another thing I wish they took from tarkov is gear that is specific to a certain boss, like an alien gun that only this guy has meaning you will have to kill the boss to get this gun or kill another player who has killed the boss, basically an exotic I guess with the gun being unique and completely different from other guns in the game.
id say fuck the exotic mod mechanic and give us destiny style exotic guns, that is like the 1 thing bungie does well consistently. Would spice up the loot pool 10 times.
man i just want a good solo q experience
honey where's the antipsychotics
I gave them to the dog. It was that or fix him
oh...
what if they added limited edition guns that only had a specific number of copies available at any time?
Ain't readin all that
They do
How many people do you know still have the God roll dust rock
How abt parcel of stardust
Seems like D2 is doing that now with solstice and arms week, idk what the plans are if those weapons will be available again.
Not limited numbers tho
Wth
@tawdry olive give server suggestions
smelly why is it so smelly
Iām here
hello boys and girls and other things betwixt
How is everyone on this fine Tau Ceti day?
I know I know weāre in the middle of a huge eclipse that will last 30 days and 30 nights and therefore its ānot technically good morningā because of the proximity of the Tau Ceti F Gas Giant
but in this time its important to keep traditions and keep eclipsonal depression at bay
is everyone warm enough? Everyone install their overclocking heaters?
40!! How!!?
when is it coming out ?
Are we still launching this game?
Welcome, here!
Before the end of March 2026 is the current plan but that could change.
rip marathon dead game 2025-2025
looking forward to marathon being the biggest game of 2026 just to spite people
I hope every game fails just so I can spite ppl
I hope neeyth spites just to fail people.
yes good boy you want a bone it's over by the shed
honey get the stick
sir yes sir
i can still hear it's voices. it's like it's still alive but i can't play it
Throwaway account for obvious reasons fam is this game ever coming out
ragebait gives the most attention and I still fall for it āļøš
Give Marathon
you gotta run for it pillsbury doughboy
You know, it's so funny looking at people on X saying DOA for Marathon. People are so desperate to see good things fail for the sake of "views" "clicks" etc.
The condemning of Marathon at it's alpha was so blown out of proportion, the game's foundation is solid, coming from someone who's put thousands of hours into both Tarkov and Destiny, the game has a healthy enough injection of both game styles to work and set itself apart. Sure it needs tweaks and a bit more development, hence the delay, but DOA? Hell no.
I wish people would stop being so Doom baiting. Everything I've heard so far about the game since its delay just makes me think things are going in the right direction.
Doom baiting?
well, I DO like doom (2016)....

@tawdry olive don't do it baby I love you
saw a game in steam called The First Descendant. Played a bit and realized its just a destiny 2 clone lol
with ladies in their underwear tho
Looter shooters baby
Yeah nexon will do that. Same with mundfish probably
i was hoping for a singleplayer campaign experience
Those are none and few between today.
too tru š/
Ngl tho mundfish other projects seem cool. Never got to play atomic heart but ILL just looks AMAZING
It's more Warframe than destiny
Copying warframew worst system that is the crafting system is a choice...
whats ill
Its a first person physic horror game. Insane phsyics graphics, lighting, artstyle from what they've revealed. Still skeptical on story.
ew like actaly the word ill š
EWWWWW
dun broke the girls mind āļøš
@tawdry olive stinky
nope! fresh shower

atomic heart was ass
maybe atomic heart 2 will be good
or the atomic heart mmo
atomic heart and good in the same sentence šāļø
itās the most disappointing game iāve ever played
the trailers made it look so good
atomic ass
atomic shart
is the game still in development
yup
When is marathon coming out
same
delayed to idk
need sum to try while i wait for peak raiders
that game didnt look that fun
it was the most fun ive had one a game since i was a kid when i played the tt2
the finals is good
You'd think marathon would be out right now seeing as the art is pretty easy to steal
zzzz
ai slop

the finals is sloppy
I played both and I had a lot more fun with Marathon

spider is one too huh
neeyth has no response, very guilty
big one
wake up
sleepy bastard
ā¹ļø
game out yet?
nuhuh
so do you confirm that you are an eliksni
Death of marathon has already started! Believe me
We know, go bother someone else
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt
Yawn
you guys think thereās any chance they add a social space to marathon?
like the tower in destiny or something of the sort
i think that would be sick if they did
Hello fellow Marathon fans, not long now untill the floodgates opens up and the 100eds of us fans loads up on the server and plays our first match! I dream about it already!! Cya on the other side!
u hype @rough ocean ?
Oh hell yeah!
They need to cook hard and good though, thats why im hyped, they MUST do it really good this time or its done.
tbh i think the things that have happened that have been hard on the team possibly happened for a reason, they were on a crazy time crunch with OG destiny and made it fire. So since they know what the fans want and how to make people want to play i got faith in it
Be cool if the āship in orbitā or wherever you spawn down from was a social space
A social space would be sick
I think the concept lends itself to a social space very well - like the ship that we control the drone characters from, the character who controls them can go and interact with others
Nah if there's a social space it would be virtual. In-match we're temporarily inhabiting a rent-a-merc printed for limited use, outside a match we're basically just logged in remote. IMO a social space would more resemble the social space in more recent Guilty Gear games.
Or VR chat or public squares in Second Life
Just abstract chaos and limited trolling screams at all times
But I'm anti social space in Marathon the way I'm anti clan housing in D2: everyone loves a fun clubhouse but I don't think it adds anything to the game. But I do like the down time on the ship in HD2 between drops watching other players dissociate into menus and run in circles...
But HD2 has better fashion game than Marathon and you can recognize when players are in certain ship menus based on where they've parked. Human brains do enjoy seeing unthreatening human behavior.
A fun place to show off the rare gear you pulled out of a raid/ fashion is always great for promoting the social aspects of a game. would be good for the community IMO
I also think that itās important to have physical vendors and storage, as opposed to it being entirely within menus, makes you feel like a part of a greater world/ reinforces the community aspect that is so important to Bungie
I remember seeing doc clips of early Destiny alphas and how much they loved seeing players just recognize each other without emotes and just run up to each other and start crouching and swinging their aim at each other. I didn't imagine they've forgotten how appealing that is. So that lack must be up to strictly limiting dev scope to the principle game mode after the reorg with Ziegler?
Like, the game hadn't found a good shape and focus so that was Ziegler's objective, stripping down to a deliverable minimal but complete game and leave soft appeal features players aren't paying extra for out for future consideration. Also why prox chat or other means of non violent non team communication were entirely left out?
Or we could've had a d3
They released D3, it's called EOF and it's sitting on top on D2 but effectively no one is playing D2 content that wasn't made f2p playlist options in D3 because it's not rewarding tier chase loot
They called the gamers out and gamers want to burn themselves out in the loot trough when Destiny's best content is mostly right there for them to play any time
DCV was the right choice. It was that or Marathon and Destiny wouldn't be in a better place today with an extra 75gb of unplayed content.
Also if they made D3 it would probably be on the tiger engine and make all games more buggy and laggy
Since d1, d2, and marathon are all on the tiger engine
Idk why people gotta dunk on tiger, I think it's been pretty solid for what it is meant for. Console limits probably still represent a bottleneck more than the engine.
I do love the tiger engine, its just been around for a fair share of time and D3 with assumingly better graphics and such would probably add a lot of strain
Plus having to code an entire new game, I think D3 would've turned out exactly like how D2 is right now. The only reason why ppl wouldnt complain is bc its "new" even though theyd be the exact samd
Since Beyond Light they've been modularizing everything that was in D2 vanilla so they can add variety and mix up mechanics more easily, EOF is proof that work paid off but people have bizarre expectations for Destiny
cause nobody knows how game engines work
theres a reason bungje doesnt talk about tiger much these days
I hope they rework Marathon to be like the OG games, instead of being lame Apex Tarkov. It'll get mogged by a certain robot game (and also Temu Battlefield) if they don't course correct.

It's not battlefield. You don't need prox chat.
what is temu battlefield? bf6?
idk either
GM tabby
I've played these games before š£ļø
I hope not. BF6 puts war back on the table. It's gooood.
Butane has volunteered to be in the cuties squad apparently
Yay!
Now I can't get that guy out of my head.
The one that sings to the cats like Good morning chubbly a bubblyyyy looking very nice tingalingalingalinga
It seems fitting for this fork of the conversation.
I need to find the trackball battery cover. I'm getting tired of re-securing it.
a trackball š
I just want my fries bro
Oof
Here I thought it was going to be Sexiguchi to be the gooner squad
Turns out it's really just a bunch of worm gifs.
Actually tho, these hijake discords are getting outta hand.

PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG
They ate them sadly
Tabby moment.
when is concord 2 getting released ?
When Mida gives up
Username checks out
does that mean never ?
It means for a Dingusmaster, you are certainly a master of being a dingus.
gang are there any updates about game state after the beta?
Just interested in where they're heading right now
All the latest updates are posted in #marathon-news
Any news?
Lol come back in October
How was the beta
Imagine there was a small Marathon announcement at gamescom š
Small playtest with nda in june and july so far. Possibly monthly. Game coming out before March 2026 according to plans.
I wouldn't get your hopes up. If it does show up though it would be nice.
Is that a Reboot profile picture
Yo guys is worm going to be a runner?
i hope so
what could be the new release date?
Idk but it'll take longer cuz they need time to add the worm
Thief is not gonna be the only new runner that wasnāt in the alpha for sure
#WORMSUPREMACY
2029 sorry guys it's my fault
Not that far ngl
Its all a matter of perspective and in something like a MARATHON you just keep thinking about step after step and stride after stride. Before you know it, you're at the finish line.
(From fall when they anounce the new RD)
I canāt deal with the stress this gameās release is causing me, I just want to ESCAPE it, it almost looks like this anxiety and stress WILL MAKE ME GOD
maybe put it in january to catch everyone in NA at home and miserable over winter
give them a game about a tropical-esque other planet to dissociate into full of warm neons
ESCAPE WILL MAKE ME ||WARM||
in what
Its all a matter of perspective and in something like a MARATHON you just keep thinking about step after step and stride after stride. Before you know it, you're at the finish line.
The save the date trailer gave me that impression. Instead dire marsh looked like silent hill.
Marton 
If i caress my worm in the right sequence would i get an exotic?

Maybe become a worm God of sorts?
It's my Destiny
Don't forsaken it š„
I'll ask the shadow in my room maybe he'll keep it
awawa
It'll come to a point where you need to take it, and become a king of taking stuff, a taken king....
frots
fucking excuse me
ref there's a flag on the play āļøāļøāļø
I see the light, perhaps we shall move beyond it
so who has an unhealthy obsession with the exotic vex mythoclast destiny 2
I ran that raid 35 times
i got it week 2
Never got it in Destiny 2
The game hates me.
Itās coo
i hate it because its not sweet business
Youāre a titan arenāt you
Told yall marathon was gonna dieš¹š¹š¹š¹ dead game. Gnš¹š¹š¹š¹š¹
Is this game gonna be good or what?
the best damn class yeah
Within the last 2 years Bungie fired the lead game director for Marathon, half the overall studio, pushed back the games release and Bungie will now reportedly be liquidated into Playsation HQ by March 2026. You make the call
My god
What a wrong take, bungie is not getting liquidated. They are losing independence, yes, but theyāre still bungie
Liquidated?! Bungie juice...šš
I revisit every now and then and the only constants are Neeyth and Tabescent lol.
Dude
I literally exist
Unhealthy obsession...
Im sorry young man but I have no idea who you are.
Carpit
I was here before neeyth
I believe you just don't remember. Neeyths name just stuck I guess
And I remember Tabescent because I think they had Umbreon as pfp. Best eeveelution
Carpit
Ive been here since the start, you guys are fake ogs
I've been here since pre production actually
Neeyth is eternal
Unless something really crazy happens, the game will make it to launch next year.
As for whether this game will become a success, who knows.
I had enough fun playing the Alpha in May that I now have a Marathon itch and want to play more. But it definitely had its rough edges and I'm not sure how long the gameplay loop would keep me going long term.
Now the game from that alpha may get close to a year's worth of additional development(Sony launch deadline seems to be March or sooner, and the Alpha build was months old.)
And Bungie is working directly with actual players in closed playtests to shape the game.
Also, they do have the home field advantage going. Bungie for some bizarre reason tends to produce some of their best content and games while they are under pressure and in a rough spot. This is going back to original Marathon days, through Halo, and continuing throughout Destiny.
So things are 100% looking better than when September was going to be the launch. This will not be Concord. Where it goes post launch, we will find out.
the way you type is majestical
Which Tabescent?
I farted btw :3
Well I didn't know there were 2. I just remember the Umbreon one. I'm not that deep in the chat lore
I just visit to get a vibe check every now and then.
Umbreon is the original.
So someone replaced them?
#stolenvalor
Ha
Tabby ate the first two Tabescents
Is this game alive? Never got to play it and i hate them for it
Yes
Hey wait a minute

you're eramis but the ice statue version of eramis
Wowā¦
its either ice eramis or the technocrat
Fine, Eramis it is.
or mithrax
I hope marathon adds customization to characters just to make them more unique instead of palette swaps
skins already confirmed so throw that out the window
ghost in the shell...
That's a shame you can make your character unique and different in destiny but I guess they got lazy or something
neeyth which eliksni are you

Which androids are you guys interested in using?

honey get the gun
Aleph One has a new build out they want folks to test https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1ml5m1f/aleph_one_111b/
Not new Marathon, sorry
Marathon = GOTY
Which year š
i'm here
the year of the skibidi
I played bf6 and observed that french indie slop game expedition 33, DS2 sucked , and peak just doesn't deserve it. The only other game is arc raiders n tarkov. Arc is great but it's more of a limited experience than a full game, i doubt tarkov full release will be significantly different, and marathon is poised for a huge upset, everyone wants to see it succeed! When will the collectors edition be available for purchase? $149? Done.
is this a shame kink
āPoised for a huge upsetā thatās wild bro
it's that bungie magic working wonders
I seek 1k usd for my waste time & money while waiting for this game!
Good morning nerds
Nobody is drinking alcohol this early in here, go back to bed.
excuse me sir i'm a tabby not a nerd
You reverted. You are back to nerd state.
#alpha_access are there still closed alpha applications?
@tawdry olive @stuck aurora let's get this wheat
lets gain this grain
Lets yeet this yeast.
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to access the alpha_access channel?
You had to be in the closed alpha way back in April
Okay thanks. Is there any information on how i would get access to the next playtest?
I'm not sure if they're pulling from ppl who were in the alpha but every now and then check the news channel and also visit the website and see if you can sign up for a playtest, as of right now there is no date on the next test
They're using the same signups from April. No new signups. You might get an email if you are selected.
Very helpful, much appreciated
How is morale for fans
Marton
Ive got Hella hype, but im bias bc i played in the alpha
I'm a buy it day one.
for me its nonexistent
clearly not excited enough, you have to be ready to preorder the super deluxe collectors edition
plagiarism scandal killed all of my friends interest in the game including my own
I think folks just want to play the video game, I don't think anyone here is ride-or-die about it
gameplay shown in the non-nda alpha wasnt standout enough to justify a 40$ price tag over just playing a f2p extraction instead
idk if the gameplay was better in the recent nda alpha
Plagiarism scandal was blown out of proportion at least 10x and it has been handled as it should've been
a massive sony owned corporation stealing art for a commercial product is kinda a big deal
and they handled it appropriately? like they explained the reason it got in, and handled it with the artist. this is not the first time something like this has happened with bungie (yeah not great) but they still handle adequately each time.
yet they still lifted art from her portfolio, scrubbed the watermarks, and put it into the non-nda alpha which is the games main publicity event
I liked the nda alpha, I don't think I can say more than that
AntiReal got massive support from people when the scandal dropped and I would put money on the fact that her silence concerning the situation is a good sign and if it was not resolved adequately she would be speaking out
either way my friends are still not interested in the game since it happened
It was NDA until last minute, and they didn't even scrub most of the watermarks, it was blatantly obvious
i dont think bungie is gonna be winning them back too
Nah NDA about settlements in progress is super common. It's embarrassing they had so much stylish art in the game but everyone's only going to remember the stolen stuff now.
I don't really care, I am not trying to win any fans back. I am just saying the scandal was blown out of proportion. The only reason I am still around is NDA protected
Also just like... overworked employee skipping steps and just taking art isn't that far out of left field. The art director missing the art that's directly from an artist that he follows (though the art style isn't exactly solely her domain) is bad
like yeah there was some plagiarism but acting like the entire game's aesthetic was directly ripped from antireal is a bit... extreme
agreed tho
There's dozens if not hundreds of artists out there producing the same design heavy style, including the art director himself, it's not that unique.
exactly, people get shown antireal's stuff next to marathon and go "holy fuck that's everything" and it's just not
Him not recognizing it isn't shocking at all to me, like you expect blues guys to recognize every jangle they hear by name?
I honestly need to see what was plagiarised again to see frankly. like how unique it was
There is a compilation somewhere on reddit
the only ones that feel crazy noticeable are the ones where antireal's name is literally scratched out
but I feel like cross should've noticed that. But also it's like small decals just scattered around the world so idk how much he'd be lookin at every single one?
Also it wasnt Sony that took the artwork, it was a bungie employee who didnt work there anymore that put stuff into a portfolio. Its that person's fault, not the rest of the developers
you people are still talking about this. game is cooked lmao
And $40 is pretty solid, especially since that was only the alpha. Plus after trailers and things it'll look more enticing
this is the first time I've spoken about this since it happened ngl
I think the only people allowed to say "this game is cooked" are the ones who actually played the game so far
you people are still talking about this. game is cooked lmao
Except we arenāt allowed to talk about it because NDA 
We can talk abt the alphaš
Embed fail

We cant even send picsš
I want gif permsā¦
butane you have gif perms
at least enable cool destiny gifs \o/
Give us the secrets of Arachnid Butane
Not in here.
oh damn times are rough
That's part of why I'm still suspicious early work was loaded with stuff clipped out of the inspiration folder and original work was filtered in alongside it to make sure it fit and the antireal work just wasn't labeled for removal. Everyone on the project has probably been looking at it for years and didn't even really see it as distinct from other textures anymore.
I'm torn on that, mainly due to how that entire genre kinda looks like that. Like sure antireal did a lot of similar stuff but she wasn't the only one
that is entirely possible though
Commercial and industrial design familiarity is a genre convention at play so it's all very intentionally evocative of existing work.
since the game is dead so what's the purpose of this server now???? š¤
for u twin š¤©
neeth are you bald or balding
only occasionally bald whenever someone mentions the new monthly popular game #hate
Yawn
Idk the leave button is pretty easy to find

Hey do we know if the last playtest was compatible with m chip macs?
I suspect not because mac gaming sucks but I'll get Tim Cook on the phone, I got you
What if it's big?
Iāll eat that cute little ass of yours

REF!!!
that sucks. im going off for college and im leaving my desktop at home so if another playtest ends up coming up im dead in the water 
Why are you leaving your desktop at home if youāre going off to college?
i got a laptop and i dont feel it makes sense to bring a whole desktop and monitor setup to my small ass dorm lol
i literally might just because of this though
I thought that said mascs and was about to go off on masc discrimination
I did when I went to college. We had 5 dudes in a 600 sqft little apartment and each of us had a full desktop setup with multiple monitors. Had some awesome lan parties
Only thing I regret bringing my desktop for college was that I almost failed out from gaming too much
Honestly no desktop may be a good call
no yeah i was thinking that exactly lmao
but i dont want the fomo so i will take the hit ig
and i wont have to worry about how tf im gonna get solidworks to work, ig
Heh I know you will š«

transition
what we transitioning into
Bingus
idk a sick ass dude with a strong body and like, maybe a halo odst fit or smth
Iām going to turn into @tawdry olive
I have transitioned beyond the gender binary
gender quaternary š¤Æ
look into cosplay, the good news is that you're gonna be wearing armor in that case so the muscle building can be skipped or delayed
hmmm, how wise you are, thank you queen šāāļø

odd future sandwich š
i havent had a sub in ages
subway is legit top 5 places on EARTH
quaternions...
Wild shit
they're getting plenty of punishment for free rn
what
i like to top my subs with meat
i think if transition was easily accessible and gender exploration was encouraged or to the very least not discouraged that transition rates would be 20% or more
out of the total population ofc
you would be correct.
Less stigma would be niceā¦
...yeah...
butane can you play putt putt saves the zoo
butt butt saves the poo
The what?
that's a running theme the the Culture series, adventure sf lit that inspired a lot of bungie stuff
The what?
The what?
The what?
I need to be more muscular
jim can help
Jimmy Dean?
idk who that is but ask him
Can I test this out on you?
yeah
I think 20% has signs of gender weirdness but I don't think all of them would benefit from medical transition or more specifically hormones

My ex/its complicated was an alcoholic. I'm in it for the love of the mix.
Like I'll drink a few nights a week if that and make up some bomb cocktails.
Fill a glass halfway with Dr. Pepper zero + a tablespoon of jalapeƱo juice. Add jack daniels honey or jack daniels fire depending on your desire for sweet/spicy.
mixologist in the chat šØ
@icy rain yeah im still selling phones for now. Have to step down at the end of the month. Voluntold that due to my life events making me miss 3 weekends in a row that I've not been "100% in the business". Mind you ive been averaging 50+ hours a week the entire time still.
damn that sucks, but atleast you stacking that paper for now, hopefully youll be good afterwards?

If hades ain't a drinker then it really is hell down there

my family has a history of addiction, i dont intend to keep that cycle going
Im literally hitting a madlab and enjoying a homemade cocktail
i despise the drinking and gambling memes btw js āļøš
Sounds like you just have commitment issues, Lil bro

lwk in analog horror why doesn't anyone shoot or eat the creatures they prolly taste good ??
analog horror in the big '25 š
Translates to living meat, it's an analogue horror I thinkk
idk I saw the meat creatures and lwk I'm more hungry than scared
man you fat asl tf
You mean to tell me pounds of meat and no Texan is hunting them down and making them bbq? Fake ass story
i havent bad bbq in ages gragh i yearn
I do want to eat the meat walls, yes
The real analog horror is my fatass having to get up and touch the dial in all the quiet scenes
what cut of meat do you think they use in the walls
Tripe
Cotton candy behind our walls btw just break it
I made a Snowmiser brainrot parody (< 20 seconds long). Anyone want to hear it?
something less fatty, i assume
yes please (idk what that is)
lean ground beef?
yeah i'd say so
Maybe I'm too white but Tripe is so fucking gross. It's so chewy and greasy.
Never had tripe but I'd devour
Ground beef is on the ground not the walls smh
Capicola
neeyth level hairball
yeah man the hell was that
It's like stomach fat I believe. I remember ordering it having no clue what it was, and it was terrible
Iāve had really good tripe and really bad tripe
how 'bout I start taking bets
im all in on ground beef
The edible Stomach lining basically
the whole things edible if your brave enough
anything is edible if ur brave
The place i got it from is a local latin grocery in a small town. Everything there is amazing except the tripe. I've tried every other meat there besides the fish options.
Itās pretty good in menudo
I wish they had birria, tho. Gotta drive about an hour away to find it
Thatās how I usually have it
I cooked some quesabirria the other day
Had to find a store that sold all the ingredients this far north
you can eat anything at least once
imma test that theory
it's not a theory, it's a fact
@icy rain says the Snowmiser Parody is "straight HEAT"
Letās hear it
reviews are in ladies with gentlehands
I'd eat anything at least once
even maybe some kind of... BingusSwag...
Anything?
