The curiosity was killing me

It often kills cats watch out

[radiant void]

my advice? yoga and cannabinoids

Yo guys can you actually be a tester and earn money in this game?

you had to get the first thorn drops on destiny one

[kindred vigil]

year 1 or 3

[radiant void]

something like that mhm yup

[proven kernel]

Bought gjally from Xur on week one.

[radiant void]

[proven kernel]

“Don’t buy it, it’s just a heavy!”

[kindred vigil]

Sounds dumb why would u need to use an exotic heavy 🙄🙄🙄

[radiant void]

I remember my cousin was grinding for the vex mythoclast and just couldn't get one for weeks while we all got like 3 each

[radiant void]

for huge swaggin

[proven kernel]

I wish I could post pics, but I got mythoclast, hawkmoon, and something else off a completion of VoG one time.

I was freaking out lol

[radiant void]

oh sick, i remember on old xbox one when you could press the home button and the game would just be minimized on the menu

just came to mind thinking about og destiny

[proven kernel]

Never knew it would do that (had ps4)

[radiant void]

vaild

[kindred vigil]

snap menu should've never been removed

[radiant void]

it was a cute feature

[kindred vigil]

It would've worked wonders especially with people needing YouTube while they play games

[radiant void]

hell i remember the old slide menu on xbox 360

[proven kernel]

360 > ps4 > series x. I’m weird.

[kindred vigil]

That's not even insane series X has not much value outside of gamepass + day 1 games

[proven kernel]

I actually got my series x for free…. So…..

[kindred vigil]

💔

[radiant void]

i was like
gamecube > xbox > wii > 360 > ps3 > PC >xbox one > better PC

[proven kernel]

Just considering the amount of free time I don’t have, getting a ps5 didn’t seem worth it.

[radiant void]

just a gamer fr i can't help it theyre such funny cool computers

[kindred vigil]

tbh I feel like 360 is the best of any console of the hd and beyond era

Microsoft just did a lot right and somehow fumbled so bad

[proven kernel]

Yep

Helps that Sony got weird that gen.

[neon nexus]

360 mad overrated

[proven kernel]

Cell is still to this day an insane processor though.

[radiant void]

nahhhhh, 360 was legendary yo

[proven kernel]

GameCube goated though

I won’t elaborate.

[radiant void]

no need

[proven kernel]

Yay!

[radiant void]

no smash melee gif today fellas

[proven kernel]

No image perms

[kindred vigil]

GameCube the only console with elite 1st parties but hit and miss third parties

[proven kernel]

Or embeds

[neon nexus]

360 was the beginning of the end of traditional consoles

[kindred vigil]

r u talking abt digital gaming

[radiant void]

mhm. it was. it was also a big pioneer of major indie game representation

[neon nexus]

No

[radiant void]

same with the wii, lots of small titles on the wii and wii u

[kindred vigil]

then what's traditional gaming

[radiant void]

street fighter at pedros moms basement

coca cola and nachos fr

[proven kernel]

Doritos pope

Guitar hero

[neon nexus]

Traditional consoles

[radiant void]

whenever some guys could actually be bothered to attach an ETHERNET cable between consoles to have 8 players

[kindred vigil]

oops #cant read 😂✌️

but what does that still mean I'm dumb lwk

[proven kernel]

First weekend of Halo 2 bunch of us got together to lan party all weekend. Don’t know how any of our parents were ok with that lol

[radiant void]

god seemed okay with it

checks out fr, unification

[neon nexus]

Third party games overtook first party games popularity with the rise of Call of duty in the late-00s. Once that happened, the tradition of first party being a key factor for a console as well as highly supported through exclusive output was sooner or later going to have to change

[radiant void]

you could see the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X as modern consoles if that makes a bit of sense i think

[neon nexus]

All this multiplatform support from Xbox and PlayStation dates back to CoDs rise

[kindred vigil]

okay I actually agree with this heavily wow Nathan good take ❤️‍🩹#healing

[radiant void]

true

[kindred vigil]

cuz nowadays what's the purpose of any of the 3 consoles outside of Nintendos because it's the only way you can even play a Nintendo game and that's why they still around lwk

[radiant void]

like look at the super nintendo, the nintendo original titles are some of the best tho

[kindred vigil]

with sony wanting to be multiplatform and Xbox already pivoting

The difference is one console is just gonna get the game earlier or day 1

[proven kernel]

Desire to play through super Metroid for the 1,000 time is rising.

[radiant void]

back then any game had to get a lisence for the one big console, but only some dozen really stood out as the big names

[kindred vigil]

(and convenience of a console but like there's no reason to wonder if you should choose between Xbox or ps anymore)

[radiant void]

most of which being originals

[neon nexus]

There’s also other factors like a lack of growth in the console space (outside of Nintendo) in terms of hardware numbers but I think the biggest factor is how CoD pulled consumer interest away from exclusives

[radiant void]

the moral of the story is, narwhals have hearts too

[radiant void]

i mean hell they offered a great game service

[kindred vigil]

so we should all KILL call of duty and revive Titanfall

[radiant void]

yeah lets all beat up call of duty

[kindred vigil]

Actually no Titanfall blows let's revive medal of honor

[proven kernel]

As someone who never particularly cared for gsmepass, I’d argue gamepass for the last year has been more than worth it for an Xbox.

[radiant void]

it deserves a chance

gamepasses are a good deal if you're open to trying lots of games

[kindred vigil]

it's a good deal for sure but with them raising they prices of both the service and the console and the fact it's on pc is just mmm

[neon nexus]

The day it launches on PS is the day I only own one console

[kindred vigil]

playstation is offering a similar service though, however bit pricier and not exactly like gamepass but rotating full games (no day 1s, no perks n shit like that)

[proven kernel]

I thought the PC version was a bit gutted, but never looked into it.

[neon nexus]

Extra is pretty shit by comparison

[kindred vigil]

I don't suspect the game selection to be any better considering xbox likes to put heavy hitters on game pass recently

[proven kernel]

I only use my PC to buy games and then never play them.

[kindred vigil]

like silk song on gamepass day 1 lwk insane moves

[radiant void]

just program your own games and save money

[proven kernel]

Yep.

[kindred vigil]

requires to much time I found out games aren't made by pressing "make game" button

[radiant void]

🫰

[neon nexus]

Silksong, E33, Doom TDA, Outer Worlds 2, BO7, it’s an insane year for the service

[grizzled summit]

What is your favorite game?

[kindred vigil]

the one where I do the things where I fight the bad guy

[proven kernel]

Metroid Prime

[kindred vigil]

Yeah lwk Xbox doing their thing as an publisher + software company but hardware ain't it for them anymore

[radiant void]

This is not a question I can answer anymore

[proven kernel]

I mean, the hardware is fine. Just they lost support at a crucial time with the last generation.

[neon nexus]

Home Consoles are a dying idea, unfortunately

[kindred vigil]

hm reminds me of another company that has a really good console in its second console with an high American market then completely crashed and went better as a publisher and game maker

[neon nexus]

Even the PS5 is showing signs of the deteriorating home console industry

[radiant void]

gotta go fast

[kindred vigil]

but but but I like my game discs and my home screens I'm not ready to let go 😂✌️

[radiant void]

[kindred vigil]

that's W though I used to play (when I had a desktop) on my TV alot too lwk comes in handy

I used my monitor for my Xbox for some reason

[radiant void]

on my life i just cant wait to hear what sniper rifles sound like in this game

[kindred vigil]

Go watch a video of the public alpha back in April they had snipers

[radiant void]

im going blind until i can play it

[radiant void]

matta fact, im gonna go play the original

[kindred vigil]

when I played I hate snipers cuz I legit could never hear them coming ever I got sniped by a cod pro here it was so suddenly shit felt like a LiveLeak 💔

cuz week 1 pc players had aim assist and snipers were just busted so usually you got one shotted

[radiant void]

@proven kernelHalo runs in my family but i really gotta dive into marathon properly

[proven kernel]

It’s fun, but it definitely is in the “it’s old now” category

[radiant void]

I still play abuse on a dos machine for funsies

[stuck raptor]

Hello everyone! 👋
I heard about the playtest for marathon game.
I wanted to know how to apply to it as a playtester because I don't know where to go 😅

[radiant void]

i got an old soul, this will be perfect

[proven kernel]

Wow. That’s a name I didn’t expect to hear.

[kindred vigil]

I wonder if people even know what abuse is (the game)

[radiant void]

[grizzled summit]

By this time next year we may all have gone our separate ways, it's been an honor meeting you all.

[radiant void]

Likewise

[kindred vigil]

thank u business guy

[radiant void]

it might have to move to the lore channel, but what's the difference with all the factions/ companies?

or should i just pop into the original game or somethign

[gleaming bough]

[radiant void]

from what i know, synthetic bodies with transposable consciousness, looting some crazy wreckage

all looks phenomenal

[kindred vigil]

To put it brief and un-verbose

Traxus — are like the manufacturers of buildings and whatnot. Kinda like a lockheed type shi

Cyberacme — is the computer software folk, akin to like Microsoft I guess

Mida — Are like...freedom fighters? (Or terros depending who u ask), people who just want to reclaim their home planet, they're important more wise

Sekiguchi which I think is new — Creates the shells/bodies that your characters uses kinda on the neuro medical side of things?

Nucaloric — is practically the food company of the world, but they're interested in doing research of Tau ceti as well, owned by traxus

There's better explanations but that's how brief I can keep it

[radiant void]

much appreciated, it kind of reminds of Lancer

Traxus, sounds almost flawlessly familiar

[fervent walrus]

@radiant void

[radiant void]

thank u! This is all really cool to me

nobody else just me

[kindred vigil]

I didn't know nucal makes clothes

[radiant void]

Got on them NuCal 400s

👟 👟 🏀

[kindred vigil]

mida is the worst faction btw traxus on top ✌️😂

[gleaming bough]

I second this but not the Traxus part

[kindred vigil]

I own ur stock shares lil bro

[fervent walrus]

We see them in the cinematic when the pfhor(?) attack the marathon

[gleaming bough]

I'll put a bomb in your Shell lego boy

[kindred vigil]

Oh yeah the cloak drip

[radiant void]

I see why people rockin with Sekiguchi

synth worm fella puttin in work fr

[kindred vigil]

Considering how synthetic nucal is I was surprised in the public alpha their missions and storyline was about uncovering the truth of what even happened I thought they'd be like lwk slimy evil

Than again I'm pretty sure the game companies /story are an critique / hyperbole of how real companies act for their own gain

for all I know they could want research so they can put me in the goop machine

[clear thorn]

How do I get in da playtest

[radiant void]

you gotta be born on 117 like me

[clear thorn]

I see

[fervent walrus]

They are. They are cornering humanities basic needs in order no one else can compete against them. Monopoly ftw

[radiant void]

(im not in the playtest, it's a private thing)

[gleaming bough]

In the meantime you can hunt that NuCaloric Whale with me

[radiant void]

or watch cool lore videos

[kindred vigil]

I hope uesc is a faction you can play for

[gleaming bough]

You mean the low tier clankers?

[radiant void]

a bad doctor has no patience/ts

[kindred vigil]

you had to be in the original test back in april to even be a chance to be selected for the upcoming ones, there was no sign up prior to that one

[radiant void]

i really wasn't paying attention to the game i anticipated most

[brittle steeple]

well i did not knew it had a playtest in april :(

[radiant void]

[kindred vigil]

I don't think the alpha was advertised outside of Twitter and the save the date trailer

im just glad mama bungie is making soup for us ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[empty heart]

How did you find out about this next playtest?

[empty heart]

Did it say something else?

[radiant void]

rabbit meets hole

[brittle steeple]

They said u can play the playtest rn ig it was an old post or something like that

[radiant void]

good night peoplez, wish u all good rest

[radiant void]

it's okay, many of us were clickbaited :(

[brittle steeple]

well this IG page wasn't advertising or something like that they just publish game news of all games

[empty heart]

They should get better at researching

But you can stay tuned for news in https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1359654977991082317

[fervent walrus]

I think they are modern/reimagined battleroids.

[iron vapor]

Id love to playtest marathon if they needed me

[kindred vigil]

I think they may need me

[pearl acorn]

[devout bane]

I still remember seeing that whole “woke” detector thing and I remember they said darkest dungeon 1 was fine but darkest dungeon 2 was woke cause it had women in combat roles… but like the characters are the exact same in both games

[kindred vigil]

one of us is telling a truth and a lie #findtheimposter

I should swear in German to my German hg she'll appreciate it maybe

Ugh guys im so hungover and I stopped drinking like 10 hours ago. Even slept and had 2 bottles of water. Shit sucks.

[shy flame]

Senators up for midterms be like

[drifting skiff]

To run? I need to do cardio I already have a reason

[proven kernel]

I started running this last week after swimming all summer. Kinda addicting now.

[radiant kiln]

Lift

[unborn badger]

used to love running so much I'd pick nothing but running in PE classes if I had the chance cuz I sucked at every ball sport

[proven kernel]

I’m good

[cursive perch]

running is masochistic

[unborn badger]

but isn't that every sport

[shy flame]

Drink a large dunkin nitro cold brew with cold foam and then stand out in direct sunlight. It will give you an urgent reason to run 😭😭😭

[cursive perch]

lifting weights feel fucking good

[crude bronze]

It's so fun seeing your speed and max distance improve but after a while you are just seeing the same scenery over and over and hoping your headphones don't run out of battery

[cursive perch]

you should try it

[radiant kiln]

Yea this guy gets it

[proven kernel]

I don’t want muscle.

[kindred vigil]

I don't wanna

[drifting skiff]

I already take legal meth I don't think the cold brew will do much more

[unborn badger]

feel like this was my pipeline to drawing ngl LOL

[cursive perch]

muscle good. fat bad.

[drifting skiff]

if you train running then you'll be better at running and in this day and age I'd like to be able to do that

[shy flame]

I mean you will have to poo poo. The heat cooks the milk and the coffee also induces bowel movement. You will have to run so you dont poop your pants. Also a play on "America RUNS on Dunkin" and The Runs

[drifting skiff]

that's just factually incorrect

[unborn badger]

I still hop on hiking trails sometimes but now it's for the scenery instead of running

[radiant kiln]

Lifting doesn't make you a muscle monster, you have to try very hard to get there lol. It's just good for you, very hard to become overweight just doing like 20 minutes of lifts a day

[drifting skiff]

what do you think legal meth does

[unborn badger]

usually at night too it's such a vibe

[cursive perch]

OMEGALUL

[kindred vigil]

Bros enlightened ✌️😂

[drifting skiff]

yeah you have to specifically train to gain muscle volume

[shy flame]

Idk, im on adhd and have been prescribed about 8 or 9 "legal meths". Never gave me poop problems more than I have without them.

[radiant kiln]

Yea

[drifting skiff]

huh interesting

[gleaming bough]

🐟 🐟 🐟

[drifting skiff]

mine gives me more gi issues

[unborn badger]

not kidding you have no idea when you put on a piano solo album or smth and just walk along at night with dim ass lamps along the road it's like, SO good

[cursive perch]

sorry, brother

[unborn badger]

I'd do it on my own if I have the chance

[kindred vigil]

that sounds cool but I think u should use that nature to make a reddit post of a handheld

[unborn badger]

what the fuck,

[shy flame]

Vyvanse, Concerta, Risperdal (shoutout for giving me gynecomastia tho fr!!!), Adderall (i experienced psychosis and began hallucinating that the overwatch characters were circling me in my dingy bedroom, to comfort me)

[kindred vigil]

#gamerthings

[shy flame]

Strattera, and I forget the rest rn

[cursive perch]

Guys, are we allowed to speak about this in here ? ? ?

[shy flame]

Sister but you have no indicator so not correcting, just informing

[cursive perch]

I mean mental health

[shy flame]

Wtf its a list of prescription adhd medication idk what you mwan

[proven kernel]

It’s fine.

[cursive perch]

and prescription drugs

[shy flame]

Lol bro its not about drug abuse, its as casual as mentioning Tylenol

[unborn badger]

drug talk's fine as long as it's nothing illegal lol

[shy flame]

The game has drugs in it

[kindred vigil]

phew...that's a relief

[cursive perch]

Its a game ?

[unborn badger]

recreational weed 😹 ✌️

[drifting skiff]

damn adderall works great for me, vyvanse and concerta both made me wanna fight people and I didn't luck out with risperdal sadly

[shy flame]

How to frighten mitch McConnell with 2 words

[cursive perch]

yeah, depends where your VPN is hooked rn - if its legal or not

[drifting skiff]

straterra's the non stimulant one right?

[shy flame]

Perhaps? I havent been medicated in about 4 years or more

[drifting skiff]

[drifting skiff]

ahh yeah it is thanks google

[unborn badger]

was on ritalin for a very short while when I wanted closure to if I got ADHD or not and my mom helped me get a diagnosis

I was 16 😭

[magic rose]

Does anyone know a way to contact a discord mod my original account got hacked and it is now banned ok here.

[drifting skiff]

I think I got medicated first at like 14, would not recommend

just gave me meds and said "okay go do things" and offered no therapy or accommodations

[proven kernel]

https://appeal.gg/marathonthegame

[magic rose]

Thanks you 🙏

[proven kernel]

np

[unborn badger]

til this day I still don't know if it's placebos or ig I just got more self control all of a sudden now

was on a barista interest course at the time as well when I was on ritalin and the effect felt like it hit double and I immediately headed to bed with my head swirling 😭

[cursive perch]

So....

[unborn badger]

probs not placebos if it did happen to me

[shy flame]

Oh yeah Ritalin was another one. Ritalin and vyvanse made me a very aggressive child for a few years there

[unborn badger]

only noticed in recent years when mom was talking to me in the room and the TV was just blaring outside and I had to shut the door to focus

it got so bad for me while nobody else had a problem with it lol

[kindred vigil]

6, 7,

[unborn badger]

usually 30 smth when I lose count

[radiant kiln]

Yeah same here but when I was like 8, back when they prescribed Ritalin. That shit was awful, turn you into a zombie

[unborn badger]

can't wait for ts to be a bannable offense once the server opens up more after the game launches 💀

[kindred vigil]

do y want it to b

[unborn badger]

it will be bfr

cuz people gonna get touchy with it

[upper storm]

ts? teamspeak? transsexuals??? thousand sons?????

[unborn badger]

guys they banned teamspeak in marathon...

[kindred vigil]

I hope Skype is next

[gleaming bough]

🐟

[upper storm]

discord kinda sucks sometimes but the linuxbros who complain about bloat and still use teamspeak are on another planet

[sour cairn]

transsexuals.....

[kindred vigil]

Linux users trying not to be annoying about their software for 50 seconds

[upper storm]

everyone should be friends with at least 1 polish linux brony in their life its a valuable experience

[peak prairie]

Thousand Sons is the most controversial of all of these. Especially if you're a space wolf player

[upper storm]

@unborn badger ok but for real what were you referring to

[unborn badger]

I just meant like "this shit" lol

[upper storm]

oh lol

[unborn badger]

k are you gonna laugh at me now for smth that doesn't need shortening does that make you feel better...

meanie...

[kindred vigil]

I don't feel like it

[unborn badger]

yay

[drifting skiff]

frfr like you're just training the kid's brain to need that without even trying other accommodations first

[drifting skiff]

you just said the same thing three times

[sour cairn]

strattera is ass

i took it briefly as a kid and took it again recently for a week or two

made me awfully nauseous

almost had to leave a thing with a few friends cause one of my friends perfume made me feel like i was gonna vomit

[drifting skiff]

I remember being told it takes like 3 months to settle and my impatient ass could never

[sour cairn]

i have never felt that way about any smell before

[upper storm]

vyvanse is the only thing that's ever worked for me

[sour cairn]

especially not her perfume cause she wore it before and after i was taking strattera and there were no issues

[drifting skiff]

wild

[drifting skiff]

Honestly hormones have done that to me too, certain parts of a cycle I'm fine others I can't stand certain smells

[sour cairn]

for me smells are whatever i dont get ill towards anything

human death would probably make me ill as it does anyone but im fortunate enough to not have smelled that before

[kindred vigil]

well that's a escalation

[sour cairn]

hey im thinkin of smells that make one ill

[kindred vigil]

skunk

[sour cairn]

human death is commonly cited as one of the smells that makes anyone ill

[sour cairn]

like yeah it smells bad but it doesnt make me ill

its like stale ocean air smell to me

[plain seal]

How do I get the digital access code

[kindred vigil]

I smelt rotting food I don't wanna know wtf a dead guy smells like id end up crying probably I'm not joking

[sour cairn]

it doesnt smell good but it doesnt make me feel sick

exactly

[kindred vigil]

if you're talking about DAC that is deprecated, for an old arg thingy so it doesn't matter anymore

I only know that word from destiny 2 made by bungie

[gleaming bough]

I ate them...

[kindred vigil]

dude!!!

Don't eat people's DAC's 🙄🙄🙄

[drifting skiff]

gotta put your DAC on your front door

[gleaming bough]

I like the glitch ones, they taste like cotton candy

[pliant fiber]

/DAC

[wintry yacht]

Is there a way to register for a chance at the next alpha testing?

[kindred vigil]

No

[wintry yacht]

Oh ok thx

[tawdry marsh]

I didnt know we had a discord

Bruh ive been waiting for this game

[daring musk]

I’m so different and edgy

[grim juniper]

When did I say anything bad about Concord? or Marathon?

[kindred vigil]

ngl concord had some good graphical texture work

[sour cairn]

not really im just silly

[tawdry marsh]

Do they randomly choose people from the discord for the playtest?

[kindred vigil]

They randomly choose from those who played the first test back in April

[radiant kiln]

Unfortunately 😫

[grim juniper]

I mean they wanted to be its own guardian of the galaxy inspired kickstarter looking game, I was thinking what if there was another game with concord character designs for a hero shooter game with a theme that sets around school, that would be crazy

[kindred vigil]

a shooter game.
Themed around school.
..........

[tawdry marsh]

Wheres the variation in data for that lol

[kindred vigil]

You know that wouldn't fly especially when most devs are in Cali right

[tawdry marsh]

welp let bungie cook

[kindred vigil]

idk they said themselves they choose from a random pooll

[grim juniper]

Think of it like Danganronpa but photorealistic but it was a free to play overwatch clone

[kindred vigil]

yeah but the difference is that is a story revolving around a theme of a killing game set in Japan

I don't think an American based studio making a shooter set around school would exactly be the best thing to do or at all really

[grim juniper]

Well there's lots of surprises but that's something we will probably see some day, they do have Killer Inn tho and that's close to it

[kindred vigil]

Like I think Danganronpa is a critique on how human violence is and whatnot but a shooting game that's HERO based for fun sound lwk tone deaf

eh some indie game studio will develop it and maybe it'll go somewhere

but me personally that's banned games potential

[grim juniper]

there's a game called Wild Assault which is basically a furry version of overwatch

people be making all kinds of games these days which is nice to see from

[kindred vigil]

what the hell are these designs 💔

[grim juniper]

Furries

[kindred vigil]

I wouldn't play it not one bit but if anyone likes it then I love it I guess

It's really jarring seeing realistic furries on a very detailed and realistic landscape

well Wes Anderson did it well so maybe with idk better art style that can work

[magic rose]

I don’t know why they’re testing the game just put it out. Game is not gonna be a blockbuster.🤣

[tawdry marsh]

@kindred vigil were you in the last playtest ?

[kindred vigil]

Yeah I was in the public alpha back in april, lost my role for it tho cause I left

[grim juniper]

is that because it has furries?

[tawdry marsh]

How do you know if you get invited?

[magic rose]

If I buy a game and I don’t get beta access, I never pre-order the game again

[kindred vigil]

no even if it didn't have furries, I still wouldn't play it

[grim juniper]

I mean they tried to do something new atleast but if furries aint your thing I can understand

[magic rose]

That’s why I Activision stays running in the show when it comes to this battle Royale world

[kindred vigil]

Email by marathonthegame, but you can't sign up for anything right now

[grim juniper]

have u even seen the gameplay?

[kindred vigil]

Yes

[grim juniper]

then maybe its not your cup of tea but someone elses

its still a fine game in the end with no real bad development after all

[magic rose]

Probably like BF6 if you wanna play Warzone Nerf

[kindred vigil]

It looks like some weird free to play game you see on a website when you're trying to play games at school, it gives me that vibe idk why

but if anyone likes it power to you that's just how I see it

[grim juniper]

its not raid shadow legends neeyth, it was a steam game and has some time to it

[kindred vigil]

well I can appreciate it's realistic landscape work for sure but everything else isn't my tea

[magic rose]

It sounds like when something taste like shit, but they say an acquired taste is required

[knotty sand]

will still be better thank tarkov anyways

[magic rose]

Sony got a shit. Can everybody in bungee bring in the yakuza!

Layoffs are going to be brutal

[kindred vigil]

what r we talking abt

[gleaming bough]

Idk

[kindred vigil]

Went from warzone to bf6 to Bungie so I'm confused

[knotty sand]

I just joined, game looks like its going to be fun

[proven kernel]

Ok, but Super Mario Wonder

[kindred vigil]

what is he wondering about

[proven kernel]

being an elephant?

[kindred vigil]

Wowie zowie!

is it odd to say Mario kinda cute

[knotty sand]

woah there hes married!

[kindred vigil]

Like in a way you see baby animals cute

[gleaming bough]

[knotty sand]

oh nvm

[kindred vigil]

Like is he not lwk cute like look at him go stomping

[knotty sand]

im sure thats the pillow talk between bowser and peach

[upper storm]

is mario technically a shortstack

[kindred vigil]

Does that imply Bowser likes Mario

[kindred vigil]

No!!!! Because he can grow w mushrooms!!!!

[knotty sand]

he admires him for sure

[tawdry marsh]

So like getting a message from null transmitter is a greeting?

[knotty sand]

why else try to take his stuff and people?

[kindred vigil]

That's an old arg thing, you can dismiss it

[tawdry marsh]

Nice

[tawdry marsh]

Can you give me an idea of how marathon plays like is it fast paced

[kindred vigil]

I legit wouldn't be surprised if Mario nowadays is just a TV show in the Odyssey universe

[radiant kiln]

Tbh if anyone can pin, might just wanna pin a quick post about the playtest since it's asked multiple times a day rn

[kindred vigil]

medium paced, it's not slow but not cod levels of fast paced, the fights can end pretty quickly or slowly depending on ur play style

You can look up the gameplay to see for yourself, alot of vids on it,

https://youtu.be/eQlp1Wl5m2k?si=57I6QqXQyN9O9UoB

[upper storm]

they should add playtest to the list of words that gives you an automatic 1 hour timeout

[radiant kiln]

Lol

[kindred vigil]

Like in one fight I had in the alpha (public), it did feel pretty fast and adrenaline like, I was trying so hard to not to embarrass myself, I luckily clutched

though, some times it can be slow paced if the enemy stays back, but the ttk is pretty quick all things considered

Unless someone has a purple shield then. It feels like shooting a brick

[radiant kiln]

I think they've compacted the bonus offered by the shields now so it might be better?

[kindred vigil]

Game could've gotten some balance changes in the nda tests as the public alpha was pre-alpha build so ..idk

[knotty sand]

so I just linked my steam and stuff, if I get selected I'll get a email right

[radiant kiln]

Yeah

[knotty sand]

word, thank you.

[tawdry marsh]

Holy okay im getting cycle the frontier vibes

[kindred vigil]

That's what I was hearing a tiny bit when the alpha was around

never played cycle outside of one time in 2020 on GeForce now

I barely even remember it

[tawdry marsh]

It was a very fun game i used to dome people with a pocket shotgun cuz i was broke in game lol

[radiant kiln]

Haven't gotten to try it yet, but to me it seems a bit like Apex, but you're bringing your own kit in. The upgrade trees seem kinda interesting

[kindred vigil]

that's what alot of people and I mean A LOT (even me at a point) have said and I get where the apex stuff comes from

it felt more like a BR than extraction to me

[knotty sand]

how many teams?

[kindred vigil]

Than again, technically all extractions are battle royales except you keep the loot

[radiant kiln]

Yeah, similar genres

[kindred vigil]

It differs on map

[tawdry marsh]

Yeah lol im already burnt out from tarkov and somehow the full game is finally releasing

[radiant kiln]

Same, for me I just got tired of the esp

[tawdry marsh]

I just play arena to get the rush i need

[kindred vigil]

Perimeter has around 15 players (5 teams)
Dire marsh has 18 players (6 teams)
These were the 2 maps in the public alpha

[tawdry marsh]

Is it fun soloing?

[kindred vigil]

fuck no

[knotty sand]

word interesting

[kindred vigil]

that's why they explicitly detailed they would improve solo play lol

[radiant kiln]

Loved playing tarkov with friends but it ruined the experience to have people know exactly where you were, and head eyes your whole squad within seconds of contact etc

[tawdry marsh]

Im a solo so yeh thats good to hear !

[kindred vigil]

It was gonna be originally forced trio gameplay but after complaints they're working on improving it

I played solo most of the alpha and it was just frustrating way better when you have people

[tawdry marsh]

from tarkov to hunt showdown

Its arc raiders vs marathon lel

[proven kernel]

It was tried early in the severs life about pinning news.... it didn't work. It's like trying to get people to actually read the articles.

[kindred vigil]

People read the headlines of dextro articles and just joining here it seems like

And apparently some posts just straight up lying about a open test happening rn

[radiant kiln]

Yeah thats fair enough, guess people still actually gotta check the pins

[knotty sand]

chatgpt told me a test was going on lmao

[kindred vigil]

why would u ask...chatgpt...

[proven kernel]

I'm going to go beat my head into a wall....

[kindred vigil]

It probably has its data from March and hasn't updated

[knotty sand]

broad question, playtests available

[radiant kiln]

To be fair even the marathon website still says something like "join the discord to sign up for alpha"

[kindred vigil]

they still didn't update that ??

[proven kernel]

That do be true

[kindred vigil]

I mean I don't blame anyone for thinking anything is going on cause everything is framed as if stuff is going on

[proven kernel]

Neither do I.

[tawdry marsh]

Bungie stop screwing around yall keep poking a stick to d2 lol jkjk

[kindred vigil]

the only thing I blame is previous haters suddenly coming back for some 500$ like c'mon bru ✌️💔

[knotty sand]

sometimes people get selected late also so maybe yk. was just hoping to get into another extraction, exoborne not out yet or nakwon so I need something to play that isn't tarkov

[tawdry marsh]

I still think thats just marketing

HAHAHAHAH

[kindred vigil]

No it's real, there's an email of it on Reddit but it's only to those who were already in the said NDA tests

like for example let's say you got in rn, you still wouldn't get those bucks

[tawdry marsh]

Bruh

[knotty sand]

oh idc about money lmfao

[radiant kiln]

I mean that's def why I joined the discord haha. I was slow with this though, I actually only just heard about Marathon the other day. Was v busy when the first info dropped

[kindred vigil]

Tarkov players hating tarkov is such a common thing I keep seeing

[knotty sand]

I play games cause I like em. also I don't play tarkov and still hate it

[kindred vigil]

there's temu tarkov arena breakout

[knotty sand]

cheaters is enough for me, why i stopped playing siege

[tawdry marsh]

I mean its just head eyes head eyes head eyes shot from nowhere and getting your cpu fried by CPUFRYER3000

[upper storm]

one of those games that's totally unique so if you like the concept and the good moments you feel trapped there no matter all the flaws

thank fuck i only lost a couple hundred hours to it lol

[knotty sand]

theres mauraders but its kinda mid imo, not terrible but not great

[tawdry marsh]

i never liked siege it felt slow for me

[kindred vigil]

I have a old message in new noise that perfectly describes this

[upper storm]

marauders is dead as a doorknob 30 players daily

[knotty sand]

makes sense

[kindred vigil]

2017-2018 siege is magical

[tawdry marsh]

Makes sense in a way, theres no other extraction shooter that gives that intense depressing atmosphere

[knotty sand]

i guess depends how you play g, who you play with also and how they play too.

[kindred vigil]

I'm fact there's not a lot of depressing shooters anymore I know that sounds weird but

[upper storm]

there's 1 dude in the marauders steam community forums who still plays and will post in EVERY thread insisting that the game is technically not dead because it has 30 players and the servers are still up and more updates are definitely coming. ive never seen a more blatant and willing lolcow in the wild in my life

[kindred vigil]

With how realistic graphics are getting, they feel less realistic and more cartooony it's weird...ain't it?

like I'm seeing a realistic game with, anime characters

no literally why is alucard Hellsing in cod bru

[tawdry marsh]

Okay originally, tarkov was supposed to be a stalker game but nikita had other plans

[knotty sand]

i'd rather play dayz ngl

[kindred vigil]

I think there's a lack of (non indie) fps games that give off depressing atmospheres

[tawdry marsh]

Beta decay and forever winter are on my lists

[kindred vigil]

isn't forever winter requiring a 4090 minium I hear that game is unoptimized to all hell

[upper storm]

is cato sicarius warhammer 40000000 still in cod or did i hallucinate that

[knotty sand]

anyone tried exoborne

[agile escarp]

will there be a playtest soon? And how can I register? I'd like to try it.

[kindred vigil]

https://codmwstore.com/operators-identity/tracer-pack-warhammer-40000-space-marines/

It's real

[tawdry marsh]

Eh yeah shit optimization but its kinds fixed now and at least there everyone suffers and youre just a spectator i just wish it was pvpve and not just pve

[kindred vigil]

Why is that real I never heard of that Collab ever wtf??

This is just as weird as the attack on Titan collab

[kindred vigil]

Someone says it looks like just cause anthem and I kinda get it

[grim juniper]

Wait what

[grim juniper]

oh Exoborne, that game is pretty awesome, I knew this game

I can't wait to try this, so interesting

[grim juniper]

Which game?

[kindred vigil]

Exoborne

[tawdry marsh]

Beta decay is the most ambitious one so far and i fw it, theyre doing everything forever winter is doing but better snd more depressing gritty

https://youtu.be/YfG9D8hJVeA?si=2c_EqnH-eKYou6nc

its basically kenshi with guns with mercs fighting in between and depending on who you fight for or stay neutral

[daring musk]

A random pool used multiple times isn’t random anymore

[grim juniper]

ah and yes, I heard of it a year ago coz I was paying good attention to new games a lot

[kindred vigil]

well let's just keep at they choose... something idk

[kindred vigil]

Wait this art style is sick as fuck

[open gulch]

[tawdry marsh]

SEE

THE MUSIC TOO

[kindred vigil]

great I'm probably gonna fixate on another game interesting art style ggs

It reminds me of thie game madworld

Just way more grey

[tawdry marsh]

https://youtu.be/1EX4RTLboo0?si=Ej3DUYIXVKxqvdY3

heres an analysis

[kindred vigil]

r the devs Finnish by any chance

[grim juniper]

I've never heard of Beta Decay tbh

[proud glade]

hey guys

[grim juniper]

@kindred vigil Do you know about the game Blindfire

[thin mica]

Anyone else get taken off the list cause they didnt do the survey in previous tests 💔

[kindred vigil]

no

[kindred vigil]

idk what u talkm about brochachoslice ✌️

[tawdry marsh]

No idea they havent stated afaik

[kindred vigil]

hay 🐎

[grim juniper]

Well I would be able to figure that out by now but this is the game pretty much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIY-oD8Q7Ok

Thought it looked cool with the theme itself, a neon rave version of concord

[kindred vigil]

is this cyberpunk 2076

[grim juniper]

well the gameplay is more like the finals

[grim juniper]

"2077" and no, that has nothing to do with Cyberpunk coz Cyberpunk isn't a free to play

[kindred vigil]

I mean the whole blind pvp game idea is cool but the cyberpunk aesthetic kinda ruins it a bit with all the colorful sh

I mean I'd try that out

[grim juniper]

What's so ruined about it? and sure if its a free game

[kindred vigil]

I mean if it's supposed to be "blind" I'm pretty sure bright colours on my screen and scans kinda ruin the immersion side of it

[grim juniper]

oh wait, Hyper Scape, thats what it looks like

[grim juniper]

maybe its something to do with the characters so they wear some kinda goggles and they have neon vision

[kindred vigil]

No I'm just highly nitpicking it doesn't ruin it completely or more than 5% of the game but I guess the whole cyberpunk ish throwing me off for a game set in the dark

I would've expected some splinter cell type shit

[stuck aurora]

the 500$

[kindred vigil]

no

There is no 500$

[stuck aurora]

gimme

[kindred vigil]

Find my 8 pages....before I arrive ....

[stuck aurora]

vro think he slenderina 😭 🙏 🥀 💩

[kindred vigil]

would anyone fw a f.e.a.r pvp horror game

[tawdry marsh]

There is one already

[kindred vigil]

actually has horror fps outside of fear been done (do not say ready or not)

[tawdry marsh]

I forgot the game but drewski played it

[grim juniper]

I mean they wanted something unique tho, like do u know any other game thats set in the dark

[kindred vigil]

Amnesia the dark descent

[grim juniper]

ok but im not talking about a horror game, im talking about a neon rave game

[trim lintel]

where to get sign up for the beta

[kindred vigil]

Cyberpunk at 0% brightness and in Dogtown

[kindred vigil]

You cant

[grim juniper]

What?

[kindred vigil]

that game is pretty pitch black with those settings I'd say

[grim juniper]

well its how the devs wanted it anyways

I mean complaining about a game that looks interesting is a little weird and ignorant to me

[kindred vigil]

yeah I'm perfect to be a game critic then

but no I'm just highly nitpicking as I said the game concept itself is fine I just would've preferred different theme but it doesn't make or break it (for me)

[cursive perch]

Can I post edits of publicly available screenshots of Marathon ?

[kindred vigil]

I mean if it's public then yea

[grim juniper]

Kindly don't nitpick coz people prefer different things in games

[cursive perch]

I mean, from the Forbes article

[kindred vigil]

that idk

[grim juniper]

I think the theme itself is pretty unique to me

[grim juniper]

We will see

[cursive perch]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/06/28/marathon-nda-alpha-leaks-show-visual-improvements-detail-new-additions/

they have took down NDA stuff (pretty fucking fast too) before so idk grey area

[cursive perch]

it says screenshot is from the first alpha, not the NDA one

[kindred vigil]

then should be good idk, I'd rather just take pics from the press release kit or sum

if anything ur stuff would just be taken down and you'll get told to get in the corner or smth

[knotty sand]

we’ve decided to remove the NDA from our Closed Alpha Test. Everyone can share their thoughts, feedback, and footage, including streaming starting on April 23. - from steam

[worthy herald]

we going to have a flop bungie or are you going to genuinly invite those people who are interested in this game to the beta and test plays? @sour wagon

[kindred vigil]

That's very old

the April test was originally gonna be NDA, but people were saying to lift it and so they did

that didn't work out to well

[knotty sand]

no take backs ig

[kindred vigil]

r u stuck in 2016

[grim juniper]

yes! I am stuck in 2016 and I was drinking some liquor aand I made sure the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night!

"joking" reference made anyways

[upper storm]

[proven kernel]

Are you sure?

[unborn badger]

Nobody wants to stay. Bungie has to pay people to play Marathon.

[unborn badger]

yes cmon meds are in the drawer

[kindred vigil]

yeah I should get paid to play call of slop I'm ngl

[unborn badger]

they should pay us for slopfield 6 real

[paper ruin]

I would need to be paid to play that as well

[obsidian plover]

Yawn

[kindred vigil]

u cool ur mouth down battlefield 6 isn't slop

it is a salad wrapped with blue cheese sauce

[obsidian plover]

Wait

[unborn badger]

I HATE blue cheese...:(...

[obsidian plover]

Who called bf6 slop?

What kind of non gamer??

[paper ruin]

Battlefield 6 was way more fun than practically anything else available at the time, and it was just a beta.

[kindred vigil]

me too idk how people like rotten cheese

[obsidian plover]

Real

[obsidian plover]

I eat all the cheese. ALL OF IT.

[unborn badger]

ok but lowkey brie I'm ok with but somehow not blue cheese especially after I tried so many kinds

[kindred vigil]

yes battlefield 6 is peak, have my babies, call of duty is slop, ruin my eyes, take out my eyes and go on 33 expeditions, I'll make a song from the silk with all the awards all these games will make. 77 of them. I'll make it cyber, but I'm no punk

[proven kernel]

you ok there?

[unborn badger]

neeyth you gotta go man

[kindred vigil]

no.

[obsidian plover]

Whaha

Are we in danger?

[proven kernel]

I think so

[unborn badger]

I think start running

[obsidian plover]

[kindred vigil]

anyway battlefield 6 isn't gonna be all that I'm telling you all this rn

[paper ruin]

You're trippin

[kindred vigil]

it looks good but then they gonna do a season 2 patch that fucks it all up

[proven kernel]

He waited for the most opportune time. Promise me you'll avenge me

[unborn badger]

oh god BUTANE NO

[proven kernel]

Hot take: I like video games.

[kindred vigil]

I'm not particularly fond of that take

[proven kernel]

Even the ones you don't like. Yes you. Specifcially you looking at this right now.

[proud glade]

butane I had a dream you sent a server-wide announcement saying you would ban me because neeyth said I had bad taste in music

[proven kernel]

lol

[kindred vigil]

so you like expedition 33, peak, repo, ultrakill, what the hellion

[proven kernel]

I've played E33 and Peak, but not the other two. and I did enjoy them.

[kindred vigil]

why are u dreaming of me freak

[proven kernel]

Actually do have repo, but no time to play it

[unborn badger]

I need you to play ultrakill rn

[kindred vigil]

don't it sucks and is horrible

[unborn badger]

shut the fuck up neeyth

[kindred vigil]

okay

[proud glade]

i had repo but had no one to play it with so I refunded it and bought schedule one instead

[unborn badger]

direct confrontation always wins 😹 ✌️

[proven kernel]

Yeah, I bought it, got busy, then everyone stopped playing it.

[olive oracle]

Some games, its tough to get people together for. I have my comfort games that I usually like to play when I get home from work or on the weekends

That and my schedule is wildly offmark, sometimes Im not home until late

Then you gotta cook, get the housework done, get ready for tomorrow...

[cursive perch]

[olive oracle]

sigh don't grow up kids....

[proven kernel]

Being an adult sucks

[olive oracle]

😆

[kindred vigil]

I don't wanna do taxes

[olive oracle]

Well, do I have good news for you... You don't do taxes. Taxes.... well... you get the idea

😆

Actually, doing taxes isn't so bad. There's software out there for it and you can actually write it off

[kindred vigil]

do I also have to do this mysterious thing referred as a "401(k)"

[olive oracle]

Highly recommended

[proven kernel]

(unless you own your own business then holy crap it takes a bit of time)

[olive oracle]

Oh yeah, that's true

Self-owned / small business, I really feel for. The tax code is a NIGHTMARE

[proven kernel]

I need to hire mine out

[kindred vigil]

This reminds me I should really ask my dad how to do taxes then

He's probably a god at it 😂✌️

[proven kernel]

turbotax. It will take you like 30 minutes

[kindred vigil]

I'm not gonna look forward to this when eventually I get my first apartment or something

[olive oracle]

Yeah, seriously, Turbotax, H&R, anything like that. You're spending 30-50 bucks, max

[kindred vigil]

wait I pay money to get MY money back

[olive oracle]

lol yeah

[proven kernel]

It's like paying to play Marathon early

wait...

[olive oracle]

huh?

[proven kernel]

Lot of people have been saying that they would pay $500 to play early

[cursive perch]

I'm up for it !

[kindred vigil]

gen z experiences what adults do circa .2025 💔

[proven kernel]

Case in point

[grim juniper]

I kinda do agree with this

[kindred vigil]

WHAT I DO

[cursive perch]

Did you see the "new" screenshots (edits) on the Marathon Reddit ?

[grim juniper]

Well its kind of the way you're criticising other people's opinions that's the problem mostly as of some who don't like the way you judge but that's all I can say about from my observation really.

[unborn badger]

they're joking lol

[kindred vigil]

Do you know the YouTube channel I hate everything that's pretty much me

[grim juniper]

Thanks for your honesty that makes so much sense and which your logic I would be IGN since i'm biased with what games I like and dont like

[kindred vigil]

that makes everyone ign

I'm also Paul tassi cause I love lying

[grim juniper]

isnt that just pinocchio coz you lied about the fact you think there's no liar but just one got who lied about who lied

[kindred vigil]

🧠.......🩸....🩸...

yes to whatever that keant

[grim juniper]

"meant" and no you being someone else, I rather u be u anyways coz I was joking about being someone else even what I said since i'm mostly MAZAVS, guy who probably knows bazillions of games on the internet

[proud glade]

butane why you ban me in my dream

[proven kernel]

Because apparently I'm the freddy Krurger of ninjas idk?

[cursive perch]

Whens your prediction for the Open Beta ?

[kindred vigil]

are all of you ai what is happening anymore

[quaint blade]

How abouts, do we go about getting an invite for the marathon?

[kindred vigil]

u dont

[cursive perch]

wait and pray

[grim juniper]

if we are all ai, would that mean you love speaking to chatbots? coz clearly you didn't mind that when speaking to everyone in the chat

[grim juniper]

we should be able to

[kindred vigil]

I just like to yap and say shit I don't know what I be saying fr

[grim juniper]

rightt

[quaint blade]

When does the testing initially start?

[kindred vigil]

no regular person should have 60k+ messages in a marathon server and that's not even total that's just #new-noise by itself

[proven kernel]

41,867

[kindred vigil]

ok thank God it's lower than that

[upper storm]

what goes harder, this dream or the dream where i got banned because being autistic was against discord TOS

[grim juniper]

wait did u just change ur pfp 3 times yet its still an anime pfp

[kindred vigil]

I change pfps 6-7 times a day

[grim juniper]

u changed it so fast

[proven kernel]

welcome to neeyth

quick change artist

[cursive perch]

whats the MCP role ?

[grim juniper]

dangg

[kindred vigil]

you know it's easy to think I'm an ai but I think the fact I'm human makes me better of a user

[upper storm]

My Communist Pony

[kindred vigil]

Minecraft pocket edition maybe

[cursive perch]

Tag me with "Closed Alpha Playtest" and "MCP" please

[proven kernel]

automated

[kindred vigil]

actually can I get my alpha role back @ whoever controls the automation

[cursive perch]

That's what I'm saying

[proven kernel]

I don't have mine

[grim juniper]

no I don't think your ai and ik u are human and I wouldn't define what's better based on what you are if you're happy about who you are whether ur a bot or a person

[kindred vigil]

does

that imply there's sentient bots

[grim juniper]

there really isnt any bots but bots used as cmds

I mean if I was a bot, I would probably be Budroid, that Android robot everyone knows coz I have a phone like one and I love the colour green and that message looks like some kind of joke a bot would even admire coz of my words

[jaunty oar]

Well seeyall later

[upper storm]

slime actually left the server 💔

[unborn badger]

only in it for the bag 💔

[grim juniper]

What if we had a concord level disaster with mindseye glitches based on a game called "eternal hell" thats set place in prison and you play as this unlikable protagonist who doesnt shut up and the controls itself makes forspoken look like a good game and the game was so bad, they forced developers to even try sell a bad game yet costing 60$ to make, just imagine if that actually existed

[upper storm]

jesse what the fuck are you talking about

[kindred vigil]

I guess bro

[grim juniper]

a game that would be "doa" but actually that bad it will be considered brainrot

[shy flame]

Substitute message for freaky thoughts

[proud glade]

ahh undertale
that is a great game
it took me forever to beat sans

[kindred vigil]

I wanted to rqgebait and say it sucks but I can't say that Undertale genuinely changed me

I love undbertale ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[nova whale]

I’m about to start it and do a pacifist run

[kindred vigil]

good

[nova whale]

Got it for Switch

[upper storm]

off better 💅 💅

[kindred vigil]

What's that

[upper storm]

a similar surrealist rpg maker game from 2007. influenced undertale, lisa, omori and oneshot. papyrus actually started off as a doodle of the game's first boss

[grim juniper]

Undertale sucks? thats unheard of

[upper storm]

it is french tho 🥀

[kindred vigil]

art style rocks

[upper storm]

soundtrack does as well. they had to do an all new one for the recent rerelease and it rocks too. toby fox actually did a couple tracks

[kindred vigil]

so this is old testament toby fox

[upper storm]

basically lol
