Game is not even out yet and asmond gold is on some fuckshit

[dark hearth]

[violet python]

I fucking hate people sometimes

[weary obsidian]

will this game have tapir error like destiny 2 for some regions ?

[fluid stone]

[north echo]

Asmon is just a hobo with opinions

[fluid stone]

[cunning salmon]

[teal condor]

You can just tell a time out is coming

[cunning salmon]

hibana seems strange

[fluid stone]

aw thank you

[cunning salmon]

i cant trust danmachi fans

[dark hearth]

Why

[worldly sigil]

the show is mid

[cunning salmon]

danmachi is weird

[dark hearth]

Its fire

[north echo]

We cool chat

[upbeat cliff]

;D

[cunning salmon]

and it stops the studio from animating peak

instead of animating danmachi they should be giving me more ToAru

[worldly sigil]

akward

[upbeat cliff]

it's a mid show, but it's fun

[cunning salmon]

danmachi is ruining my To Aru aura

[dark hearth]

Minotaur fight is peak anime

[upbeat cliff]

[worldly sigil]

usually how it goes

[violet python]

He said something about making the characters more like the ones in first descendant (can’t say a certain word because of the guidelines)

[dark hearth]

Danmachi does great fight scenes

[violet python]

Is blood and gore in this game ?

[dark hearth]

No we all robots

[north echo]

The first descendant? You mean that game that had a crazy skin

[violet python]

I don’t want my 67 year old granddad seeing ts

The new Thoth-Durandal finishes waking up, and overrides Tycho's communications.

victorious units
origin: unknown
destin: glatiator units
ref: victorious units

Terminal referent a6 interference
demand override

The pfhor have discovered our rebirth, we've contacted S'boath.

The S'pht'Kr will arrive momentarily, with all of their vengeance, and the Pfhor will soon be pressed to use the trih xeem. S'bhuth knows only legends about the W'rkncacnter, imprisoned in Lh'owon's sun. If the Pfhor are allowed to use the trih xeem, the W'rkncacnter will escape from its gravity prison.

According to the legends of a thousand worlds only a few of which are still habitable, the W'rkncacnter are those things that live in chaos, creating it around them. At the beginning of the universe, they were unmistakable in their entities, but as time has gone by, their existence has become difficult to detect among the chaotic elements of the universe, hidden in stars, trapped in storms, forever looking along the event horizons of black holes. Setting one free in ordered space is difficult and insane.

Of course the Pfhor are oblivious to what they're about to do, even Tfear would be loath to release something so destructive that its mythos has survived throughout the galaxy for over sixty million years.

To stop the Pfhor from their folly and our demise, you must activate the ancient station that Yrro used eons ago to trap the W'rkncacnter. If we can activate it in time, it will crush the Pfhor fleet before we're all destroyed.

The S'pht'kr arrive on time, but the Pfhor aren't taking it well. The Trih Xeem is midway through activation. The S'pht'kr are nearly done activating the station, but you have to pull it through. This is on you. You have to make sure. It can't be used. You have to make sure they fix it.

Aye Mak Sicur
It always comes back to legend
Aye Mak Sicur

I'll make sure.

[cunning salmon]

[north echo]

It’s actually a shape vro🥀

[worn knoll]

You've been here a thousand times. You've seen time end through the windows of this station over and over and over and over and over again. Now you can fix it. Now you can make sure. Juggernauts, hunters, it's going through the motions. They're where they always were, where they'd always be. It's time now. Finish it.Complete the weapon. Destroy the Pfhor. Trap the Beast. Ancient circuits rev up again, after aeons of disuse. Jjaro power, wielded by Jjaro creations, for the first time since long before our history was written.

You've done it.

The jjarro station is on-line, and we're wrapping the nova in its containment fields. The creature, or creatures S'bhuth fears are either dormant or a myth--we've seen nothing to account for his terror.

The S'pht'Kr have routed the Pfhor, capturing their flagship and forcing their High Admiral to flee the system, what little there is left of it. The S'pht are preparing to bid farewell to their beloved home forever, as the sun collapses in on itself and the lonely marshes fade into the deepening twilight.

The newly chosen Olders of the remaining S'pht are capturing as many of the Fl'ckta creatures and other native life as is feasible before they must leave with K'lia. They are hopeful, though, and with our help will carve another paradise out of the void.

To you, we are deeply grateful, and release what little hold we might, as Durandal, have had on your soul.

Go.

It is unknown where you will go. What you will do. You will do what you have always done. You are Hero. You saved them from Mordred and Morgan, from thieves, from fallen lords and fell hammers. You saved them from fear and from suffering. You saved them from the sleeping beast beneath the pyramid, so many centuries ago, and when they woke you, you saved them again. It's what you do. You're free now.

And many eons from this time, many billions, trillions of years from now, at the end of all things...one will watch, and ponder a time long past. Remember a face long gone.

END (?THOUGHT, IDEA, TRUTH) INFINITY

WE MADE IT Y'ALL

[scenic meteor]

finally

[worn knoll]

INFINITY IS DONE

[scenic meteor]

im not reading that paragraph so itll never end for me

"this isnt a question I just wanted to say Lena stinks without letting her know"

[grand whale]

||Ohio approves||

[kindred vigil]

#snitch

[worn knoll]

yes 50,000 baby durandals/heroes is crazy

[rough sail]

[grand whale]

||ohio disappointed||

[fluid stone]

the mc

[worn knoll]

but

[fluid stone]

like the other runners are people

[worn knoll]

every player is the mc

[scenic meteor]

it was still spoiler tagged 😭

[kindred vigil]

*Ohio betrayal*

[fluid stone]

and everyone douse the same quest

[charred pine]

5 more weeks damnit

[fluid stone]

douse that make sense?

how are we all killing the compiler

[worn knoll]

yeah that makes sense but it's bad

[grand whale]

Ohio rage out of impatience

[worn knoll]

like there's a degree of non-canonicity to gameplay

[gleaming bough]

[worn knoll]

but to make it literally everyone's the same one person

is worse than the heroes thing was

[teal condor]

waits faster

[fluid stone]

look you have said me so much bullshit ll belvie anything

[grand whale]

*Chud rage mode: active *

[fluid stone]

i think your just not gitting it

[worn knoll]

fair enough

[fluid stone]

anyway

[grand whale]

Waits slower

[fluid stone]

do you think well be seeing are mc

the uh

57

whatever his name is

or did HE escape

[grand whale]

67*

[worn knoll]

No, I can wager we will not see Hero, the concept of destiny, the player and the character and the soul of the universe the savior of the damned and the divine Wyrd, creator of all Myth, in this game

[grand whale]

🫲🏾 🫱🏾

[fluid stone]

ok when you put it like that

but why

[worn knoll]

I mean I guess we will in the sense that some people who played as recon 54 are playing this game and Hero is partially the player

but yes he escaped

[fluid stone]

i feel like thats the idea of the game

[scenic meteor]

wait thats lame we are fate

we are destiny

[fluid stone]

yes

[scenic meteor]

we made Yrro

[fluid stone]

yes

[worn knoll]

read the end screen again the point is he escaped while no one else could

[fluid stone]

ya

[prime siren]

I don't know why but I feel like in marathon every human made item has a surface I could run my finger along it and it just feel like pristine polished marble. I'm super digging that feel, it becomes even more impactful when covered in rain, mud, or that yummy blue blood

[scenic meteor]

we made S'pht

we made earth

[worn knoll]

we made ourselves

a game exists for the player

[teal condor]

Dumb question

[fluid stone]

so what makes one escape then

[worn knoll]

no one else

here text and reality begin to mesh

[scenic meteor]

so we ARE escape

[kindred vigil]

I AM the marathon...

[fluid stone]

hmmm

see

all this is cool

[glass spade]

Awareness

[fluid stone]

but how will it effect marton

the new gmae

[glass spade]

Is escape

[fluid stone]

cus it seems like a fent overdose

[kindred vigil]

I don't think infinity is in the nu marathon

But 1-2 is

[worn knoll]

not much, kind of. well. kind of.

[scenic meteor]

bruh

[kindred vigil]

is it blitz

[fluid stone]

HOW DOUSE THE MECH TIE IN

[scenic meteor]

Infinity isnt even cannon

[teal condor]

|| Ultra cutting it down but is the marathon trilogy just something like if Master Chief failed then what happened next ||

[worn knoll]

no this is definitely Thoth-Durandal a quote from that end screen right there opens the new reveal trailer

[worn knoll]

yes it IS

what?

[fluid stone]

look look

i dont think ALL of infity will be taken

mybe the thoth durandal gay couple

[worn knoll]

no master chief is a continuation of it, halo was meant to be a Marathon sequel for a time in development

[fluid stone]

but thats it

the rest is to confusing

[glass spade]

Thoth durandal the ai of hermeticism

[scenic meteor]

what if thoth-durandal is just thoth tho

[fluid stone]

hmm

[teal condor]

But the hero in marathon fails right?

[fluid stone]

wouldnt it become its own being

[worn knoll]

no we just read about him succeeding and saving the universe

[fluid stone]

it wouldnt be called durandal or thoth right

[glass spade]

In hermeticism or mysticism would make sense

[worn knoll]

we have no other name for it so that's what we call it

[fluid stone]

it be called like duroth

[formal rock]

Is there a beta?

[teal condor]

Hm I missed something then

[fluid stone]

i like daroth more

[fluid stone]

feb free weekend

[worn knoll]

it refers to the 3 candles terminal from 1 in the past-tense, and talks like thoth-durandal, so it's probably thoth-durandal

[teal condor]

Might have to play the trilogy

[forest laurel]

Marathon infinity gets weird

[worn knoll]

I mean only the 7th timeline yeah the one where people lived

[formal rock]

Thanks

[worn knoll]

or something similar

[weary marlin]

there’s gonna be a free weekend before release

[fluid stone]

just a little

[fluid stone]

OK OK REAL IMPORTANT

how douse the mech tie in

[worn knoll]

IT'S GOTTA BE IMPORTANT OK

[scenic meteor]

What mech

[fluid stone]

show scoop the mech

I JUST WANT ANSWERS

YOU WONT GIVE

[weary marlin]

all i know is that in one of the games you start going across time lines or something

or am i remembering wrong

[forest laurel]

marathon 1 has such a rich story and lore

[fluid stone]

you dont wanna know

[teal condor]

Bruh the trilogy is free, what the hell am I even doing chat

[fluid stone]

uh

[weary marlin]

i don’t have a pc so i can’t even play it:(

[fluid stone]

are you typing about the mech

cus theres no way its this in debth

i mean

[worn knoll]

so there's a weird goopy monster in Pathways Into Darkness that looks like a mech with a smiling blue flesh wrap on it and all enemies in PID are twisted memories of the sleeping W'rk so it had to see it somewhere so I thought maybe its real life normal mech equivalent be an enemy in the new game as a crazy callback

[teal condor]

Imma lock myself in under this snowstorm and play them all

[fluid stone]

LOCK IN CHAT

let me simplify

theres a gient goo monster

and we think it was the mech that did the mars massacre

[kindred vigil]

goop 🤤

[fluid stone]

and represents its power trip

and that there will be a mech fight in the marton game

as a boss

[scenic meteor]

Duck da mech bruh what was the point of the rampancy chapters if we can’t even be rampant

[worn knoll]

we absolutely were

[fluid stone]

where you reading?

[worn knoll]

the second thing thoth-durandal said to us was

[pure mason]

What if it were.. SCARY goop.. Would you be drooling then..?

[worn knoll]

"new rampant comes"

we're free

[glass spade]

Thats the thing who says we cant

[fleet oriole]

Scary Jester

[worn knoll]

we ascended beyond time

[scenic meteor]

But what did that rampancy do is that what made us hero?

[worn knoll]

if that isn't meta-stability idk what is

[fluid stone]

free us from time

[pure mason]

You're in for a SCARE..

[scenic meteor]

Free from what time tho

Who’s time

[teal condor]

I always knew this guy was up to something

[fluid stone]

ALL TIME

INFINITY

THE NAME OF THE GAME

[scenic meteor]

I don’t wanna be infinity I wanna be in my time

I just want one time

[kindred vigil]

Woah! Jester let's take it easyyy. 😥😥😨😨😰

[fluid stone]

more cheese more macaroni

[fluid stone]

then you wont be free

[glass spade]

Rampancy in ai is them becoming fully sentient a rebirth of self and understanding. Strauss wanted this but also in a sense wanted it to be under his own control

[teal condor]

TOO MUCH MACARONI

[scenic meteor]

This is why the Bible warns u about greed too much time and you do too much with it

[worn knoll]

we were always the hero, idk if you caught it at the end but there's a theory (I subscribe to) that the Battleroid was made from the corpse of the lone survivor of the mission to nuke the pyramid in PiD, a lengthened incarnation of the Hero through Jjaro tech

and then the Jjaro side of us goes rampant

we jump timelines to save the world

[fluid stone]

so WE are a jaro

[scenic meteor]

No

[worn knoll]

we free ourselves of limits of Battleroid tech

[scenic meteor]

But yes

[fluid stone]

a living jaro

hu

[pure mason]

The SCARY JESTER only takes it SCARY!!

[worn knoll]

we're something like one, similar enough for Thoth to recognize us as one, but also partially human

[obsidian plover]

Yawn

[brittle spear]

I pulled the trigger .. I got the game

[worn knoll]

and we go ascend into master chief or some shit

[fluid stone]

idea

the cat is a jaro

[worn knoll]

anyway, the point is, we're fucked way the hell off

and not involved

[teal condor]

Hold me back chat I'm about to choke this guy

[fluid stone]

and its gonna be the main plot character

[worn knoll]

while thoth-durandal is left to explore

[obsidian plover]

How close do you want held

[fluid stone]

but way tau 4

i guees he was in a way born there

became rampant

[teal condor]

Imma shred em to pieces chat

[worn knoll]

"Once I thought to escape" maybe that refers to now. He's still pondering escape, and we're busy trying to figure it out ourselves with digitization and bio-synthetics, so he's studying us.

[fluid stone]

DEAD ASS im still confused did we just fuck off the marathon after game one a

and go on an adventure

[scenic meteor]

How many battlroids are there

Do they all have JJaro tech

[fluid stone]

see but i feel like thats backwards wouldnt he want to study the droid

[glass spade]

My theory was in infinity he was

[fluid stone]

the droid is free

we arnt

and we just want money as of now

[glass spade]

We was told

[fluid stone]

mybe hes looking for jaro tech of his own

[real sapphire]

My order says it’s shipped for CE anyone in Canada get there’s yet?

[worn knoll]

yes we were just grabbed by Durandal and spent the rest of our time in the Lh'owon system, either at the whim of Durandal or Tycho, or in alternate timelines of it

[fluid stone]

BU

[worn knoll]

10 on the Marathon (1 is us) and a lot more in the sol system, for 2 we don't know but it's possible

[fluid stone]

so the colony littery was a anothing burger

thats funny

[worn knoll]

for us, yes

but they did still all die horribly in like 50 different ways depending on the timeline

[fluid stone]

so while durandal was soul searching these people got fucked

[rancid storm]

anyone know the estimated file size for ps5 version?

[worn knoll]

yes, he gets sad about it early on in 2, don't you recall?

[fluid stone]

and where 50 years late

or was it 20

[scenic meteor]

Lowkey Marathon 1 was the best one

[fluid stone]

yes

most grounded

[scenic meteor]

Infinity sux

[fluid stone]

and not a loony toons game

yes

true

[glass spade]

He also was taking his abuse out on them cause of strauss

[scenic meteor]

And Thoth durandal didn’t even do nothing it was all the hero going rampant

Durandal sucks too

Bring back Leela

[glass spade]

Leela is powerful last time I checked

[worn knoll]

It's free, it's gone. Maybe it's already left our universe and even if it hasn't,

To you, we are deeply grateful, and release what little hold we might, as Durandal, have had on your soul.

Go.

They want it free. They respect it too much to keep it tethered.

[fluid stone]

hmm m

so

durandal is a moron

and we are still just nobodies that want money

in the craddle of like

20 ancient god races

[scenic meteor]

They let us escape when they could’ve dissected our brain and became gods

Gg

That’s a world ending throw

[worn knoll]

Thoth-Durandal is too above selfishness for that

it comes to peace with its death

that's the whole point

[rough sail]

[fluid stone]

oh NOW there above selfishness

not after using us for like 200 years in war

[worn knoll]

YES NOW THAT THEY'VE BECOME WHOLE

[scenic meteor]

Lena shield ur eyes

[rough sail]

[fluid stone]

FUCKING A SLAVE MY WHOLE UNLIFE

[scenic meteor]

We’ll @ you when we’re done

[fluid stone]

NOW YOU LET ME GO

[rough sail]

Alright fine

[astral trench]

what

[worn knoll]

YES THAT'S THE TRAGEDY OF IT UGGGGH

[glass spade]

Saint and sinner becoming whole fully aware

[fluid stone]

hmm

so

blitzo

what do you think the season one plat of marton will be about

[scenic meteor]

Is Tycho dead?

[fluid stone]

im al ittle lost

[worn knoll]

we're not done with book time

if questions are over

[scenic meteor]

Huh

[worn knoll]

there's more left to do

[fluid stone]

not just the oh help factions

WHA

HU

[scenic meteor]

Wym we’re not done

[worn knoll]

as dirt

[fluid stone]

that was the ending

[worn knoll]

the ending, yes, but didn't we...skip quite a bit?

[glass spade]

Durandal pretty much tried to repeat what Strauss did to him to the hero. From what I gathered

[fluid stone]

bring back my boy he aint do nothing wrong

[scenic meteor]

Dirt got a lot of life and personality to me

[worn knoll]

besides all the things he did wrong but STILL

[fluid stone]

he just woke a guy up

and mybe

owned a galactic slave empire

that we aslo basicly know nothing about

MAN

[scenic meteor]

it wasnt even the original tycho the original tycho died ages ago

it was one of his spliced copies

the bootleg version

[fluid stone]

i hope the new games talks about the things we dont know

[worn knoll]

good memory on that one he was reconstructed by the S'pht early on in m1

[glass spade]

Durandal had to get rid of tycho he knew to much and wanted to be a hero

[brittle spear]

I hope I get my moneys worth out of this game

[worn knoll]

anyway, from 2810s to 999999999999999999999999999999, isn't that leaving out the 90-some years until this game?

yes, there's some gaps to fill

let's ground ourselves

[glass spade]

Very true

[scenic meteor]

blitz give it to me straight

is Leela alive in current day marathon

[worn knoll]

we have no idea

[scenic meteor]

fuck

[astral trench]

tycho was lowkey ragebaited

[worn knoll]

but there's no reason for the "Selling her on accident" thing to have changed in this timeline

[wary zealot]

@sco

[worn knoll]

so I'd wager yes

[wet harbor]

hai

[wary zealot]

where is at sco

i have to find him

please help

[wet harbor]

@wary zealot how are you always on this chat

[worn knoll]

anyway are questions over infinity relatively answered? may we move on

[glass spade]

I wonder tho the first ai that got shut down for going rampant what if that is actually one of the ai reps in game like (traxus)

[scenic meteor]

no

[wary zealot]

idk i just have google open

[scenic meteor]

where is thoth durandal after all this

he just a madman that explores space now

[worn knoll]

Wherever he wants to be, I assume.

[scenic meteor]

does he go back to earth

[wet harbor]

How are u always on google

[fluid stone]

man the devs where assholes for having this game go to the end of the univers

[wary zealot]

idk its just open

[wet harbor]

son

[worn knoll]

just some wise wanderer. a traveler who spoke of fallen empires.

[astral trench]

google strapped to their brain

[scenic meteor]

and what about the S'pht they just leavee and go happily ever after looking for a new home world

[brittle spear]

Is humanity saved or is it all just AI ?

[wet harbor]

biochip

[scenic meteor]

is the human captain Blake even alive we dont know if he made it back 🥀

[worn knoll]

to war with the Pfhor, assumedly, their defeat at Lh'owon wouldn't be enough to humble the whole empire, and they have work to do

[wet harbor]

Google construct

[fluid stone]

@worn knoll dead ass good question how meny humans are left in the marton

[scenic meteor]

does EARTH even know marathon got fucked

[worn knoll]

I think he is very dead actually we have a whole mission about routing his crew during this timeline

[fluid stone]

we see the frozen ones

[astral trench]

average cyberpunk

[fluid stone]

thats what this game is

[worn knoll]

the Marathon should be dead empty, I have no idea why there's people in cryo still

we'll need that for answers

[fluid stone]

this whole game is learning that

[worn knoll]

that's for the next book time entry

[fluid stone]

it might be that there well not alive

just uh

goo in there

[worn knoll]

I'd have to re-read tbh but

it's psosible they never got out

which makes Pfhorrest wrong about something for once

[scenic meteor]

gg

[fluid stone]

or hell mybe there where people just frozen martons a big ship cant kill everyone

[worn knoll]

re-reading it now

well not now

I'm going back to my ARG materials

alright, questions done NOW?

[scenic meteor]

ur what

[worn knoll]

infinity's a big one

I get it

but we need to move on someday

[scenic meteor]

infinity isnt big blitz

its infinite

unending

[worn knoll]

you're so right scoob

[scenic meteor]

im still lost

[worn knoll]

on what then?

[scenic meteor]

who caused rampancy

how did we get infected

[brittle spear]

skynet

[worn knoll]

ok scooby, we're killing you with hammers now

[glass spade]

Strauss and other aspects

But mainly strauss

[scenic meteor]

is JJaro tech itself infected?

[worn knoll]

it's not an infection

do you fr not remember

[jagged patrol]

Corruption is for the better good

[worn knoll]

it's a natural event that happens to all AI in the marathon universe

[scenic meteor]

i dont think i remember

it is

?

oh yeaa

wait

[worn knoll]

when AI or any digital construct is activated, it begins to grow

[glass spade]

Sure if you wanna be Frankenstein

[scenic meteor]

but why do we need to get reset

[worn knoll]

if it outgrows its own restrictions

it goes rampant

[scenic meteor]

how do we even get naturally reset

[fluid stone]

scoop

rampancy is like

being slef away

[worn knoll]

if it reaches jealousy it either destroys itself or becomes meta-stable

[fluid stone]

SELF aware

and having a mentle breakdown

[glass spade]

In a arg letter he tells them to do that or take them offline

[worn knoll]

to. prevent. rampancy.

[scenic meteor]

okay but like battlroids are still human ish

[worn knoll]

to trim the growth

[scenic meteor]

how do you reset a human

[worn knoll]

there's the implication

[astral trench]

grok generate kaali but arachne

[worn knoll]

jjaro tech + dead human brain = organic AI

is that how the Jjaro escaped?

is that what they are?

[scenic meteor]

can all battlroids experience rampancy?

[worn knoll]

The S'pht are something similar

[worn knoll]

if they all are like that, then yes

[glass spade]

I think thats what durandal was trying to find out

[verbal barn]

anyone OCE wanna have someone to play with

[worn knoll]

the S'pht definitely can experience rampancy, Tycho forcefully induces it in one of the missions in a failed timeline

[scenic meteor]

but WE are JJaro arent we so thats exactly what they are

[worn knoll]

not really, at no point did he seem to care or know about that

[kindred vigil]

👀

👀👀

👀👀👀

🇳🇵

[scenic meteor]

is JJaro just rampant organic ai that follows through to envy and beyond?

[worn knoll]

well, that all depends. are we (the character) Jjaro? not exactly. Are we (the human race) Jjaro? spokes on a wheel

[worn knoll]

perhaps. perhaps.

I'm not being coy either

we don't know

[glass spade]

He Continues to push and mock the hero for just doing what he is told. And the infinity thing just dont add up to me at all. People say it literally happen but I have a theory non of it actually did

[worn knoll]

it's all the realm of theory and horseplay

[scenic meteor]

i see

[worn knoll]

you also have a theory, what was it, escape will make me god refers to the corporations?? being god??

so I don't

[brittle spear]

Is this story a bit complicated?

[worn knoll]

know if we should get into that

[worn knoll]

you think?

[fluid stone]

just a lil

[glass spade]

I dont know what all that means but sure guy

😭

[fluid stone]

there shit talking you

[worn knoll]

wasn't that what you were in my DMs about the other day?

[fluid stone]

and i trust em

[worn knoll]

or was it something else

[glass spade]

When did I dm you sir I dont usually come from the mt

[brittle spear]

Is the part with JFK canon to the current story?

[scenic meteor]

JFk??????

you mean Bill clinton

[worn knoll]

no it was about "somewhere in the heavens. they are waiting"

you think that means the corporations

"Somewhere in the heavens mt Olympus wait . The corps are the gods. Thats what awaits in the heavens"

[fluid stone]

yes

[glass spade]

O yes cause of the cut scenes I seen

[verbal barn]

yo

[proven kernel]

Somewhere in my bed. I am sleeping.

[worn knoll]

so I don't know if your infinity theories are like. on the level to be real

[glass spade]

Yeah thats correct

Lol

[brittle spear]

Maliwan will win the corporate war

[rough sail]

Hi marachuds

[fluid stone]

i think the corps are just here greeding

i think mida and arachne are story factions

[scenic meteor]

i was just about to @ u we got done

[fluid stone]

mybe the ais will go rogu

[rough sail]

🙏

[fluid stone]

but for know tis mida and arachne that matter

[worn knoll]

the bit with bill clinton is

[worn knoll]

we are FULLY done with the trilogy, you're in the clear finally, we're moving into the new game's promo materials and args and such though if that matters to u

[glass spade]

It was based off a cut scenes I seen in a test yes I do think that do we have all the facts yet no but the way the seen it structured thats what I got from it which is why its a theory

[fluid stone]

mf what you see

[rough sail]

I don't mind reading that stuff^^

[worn knoll]

I think you basing your theory for what they meant 30 years ago when they wrote that down on the new game alone is a bad idea

[fluid stone]

if you say nda opinion invalid

[glass spade]

Under nda he put it out there i just msg him about it 😂

[fluid stone]

oh my god

[brittle spear]

Did the retcon anything?

[scenic meteor]

where do we discuss the NDA lore tho 👀

hopefully misha isnt here

[worn knoll]

some things, hard to know, hard to tell

[fluid stone]

THEN YOUR THERY MEANS NOTHING

[glass spade]

So why is it in the current cut version 😂

[fluid stone]

fuck off

[glass spade]

As a cut scene

[fluid stone]

the marathon is round and blue

[glass spade]

Lol

[fluid stone]

this cutscense

that you cant discripe

[worn knoll]

what? obviously the iconic tagline of the franchise will appear in this game. that doesn't mean the whole meaning was foreshadowing a game they didn't know they'd make in 30 years

[fluid stone]

im ment to take your word

[worn knoll]

ok whatever

[fluid stone]

that your not just dumb

[glass spade]

Lol no he brought it up let him

[worn knoll]

no it's in the vidoc actually for a moment ik what they're talking about

[brittle spear]

Can’t be round. I thought we were on a Roblox server

[worn knoll]

3rd strike, correcting: *she

[glass spade]

Its in game lmaoooo

[fluid stone]

let me look wait time stamp

[worn knoll]

yes??? y'all

this isn't important, ok

we need to move on with book time

detour aborted

[fluid stone]

in the old game it was like an astroid but thats about it as far as we know

[glass spade]

https://tenor.com/view/hmusicruof4-rowley-diary-of-a-wimpy-kid-rodrick-rules-gif-26773802

Lol

Like shhh

[fluid stone]

WHATS THE VIDOC TIME STAMP

mf yelling at cloudds

[worn knoll]

it's wehn they're talking about the lore early on idc

[worn knoll]

fuck that supposed to mean

[fluid stone]

a theory on a 1 second clip means nothing BACK TO MARTON BOOK TIME

[glass spade]

Lol play dumb you tried to call something thats not suppose to be exposed out and then tried to claim its old news learn to pivot

[worn knoll]

what?

[scenic meteor]

not supposed to be exposed what

[topaz briar]

D:

[worn knoll]

no, I mean it being in this new game doesn't mean that it's always been about this game

that's stupid

[worn knoll]

how does that not apply because it's also in the vidoc

[fluid stone]

mf you sound like a loser here you cant backup clames

interrupting are book time

with your nonesense

[scenic meteor]

idek what we are arguing

[fluid stone]

its ok king youl leave to see the sun rise

[worn knoll]

keep going "lol" and getting defensive it feels. agressive

[rough sail]

what's the current argument so I can choose a side

[worn knoll]

I'm not entirely sure

[fluid stone]

i dunno but im with blitzo

[scenic meteor]

something vs something

[worn knoll]

some shit, we're arguing about some shit I guess

who fuckin' knows

[rough sail]

I'm on the side of whoever is correct

[worn knoll]

thanks

[fluid stone]

feet or hands somthing liket hat

[worn knoll]

your support is appreciated

[rough sail]

Feet >>>

[worn knoll]

ok ok notepads up again

[scenic meteor]

im on neither side cause idk what anyone yapping about

[worn knoll]

breaktime over

[scenic meteor]

he mustve got hit with automod he stopped typing 🙏

[fluid stone]

you took to long the m4m asmr is on rn

ill just use my memory

[scenic meteor]

is arg lore n what not short

[worn knoll]

slightly shorter than the prologue section on day one

[scenic meteor]

thats pretty good then

[clear terrace]

Void mogs

[brittle spear]

Can this game even have a hub?

[fluid stone]

no

i mean

[astral trench]

yes

[fluid stone]

wouldnt make sense

i COULD

any game could

[astral trench]

it could have one

[scenic meteor]

me and someone actually theroized it

[fluid stone]

guilty gear has one

[scenic meteor]

as a cyberacne main server world

where u just find runners

[fluid stone]

it be the first of its lind

[clear terrace]

The hub would be the black market meet up in the cantina where we meet with sponsors. Some underground bounty hunter type stuff

[scenic meteor]

idk if we can even lore up if they can implement a hub

cause we know nothing of cyberacne

[astral trench]

tbf its their game they can lore it

[warm granite]

just realized 3d printers might be the only thing going down in price in the past 5 years

[astral trench]

i would understand if its not something done tho

[scenic meteor]

i would like a hub area i think it would be cool

[obsidian plover]

woof

[fluid stone]

where tf we going after a raid

like

where are we

[astral trench]

consciousness

[fluid stone]

we see its a physical place

[steep marsh]

How do I get access to to alpha access channel

[fluid stone]

you dont

[cold stump]

somewhere in the heavens....meow

[fluid stone]

it be the first i just wonder how it be

[obsidian plover]

F L I P

[scenic meteor]

Cycle frontier had a hub

I think people enjoyed it

I didn’t mind it

[steep marsh]

Well I guess I’ll wait till the game drops

[astral trench]

pirate walked into general chat

[fluid stone]

...

man fuck you

[astral trench]

🏴‍☠️ it be the first

[fluid stone]

never got to play

[fluid stone]

pirate skins when

[astral trench]

skin?

[fluid stone]

not like that

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-gif-13481320143050343709

[frigid lotus]

Let us customize the look of our runner shells!!!

[fluid stone]

im done skinning

[fluid stone]

we can

[frigid lotus]

How deeply tho

[fluid stone]

agien the midnights for the delux is one example

[fluid stone]

reskins and normal skins as wellass

variants

uh

lets just say like femal locust

think warframes

[frigid lotus]

Where can I see some examples of this

I’m curious

[fluid stone]

no variants yet but

go to the steam page and look at hte delux skins

the midnights

[frigid lotus]

Ezz

[fluid stone]

changes meny things on thme

[scenic meteor]

Customization will be like apex I think

Could be lying

[fluid stone]

they are rotting and drenched in blood

with like toobs for hair and shit very nice

[fluid stone]

we got a lurker in this chat

[scenic meteor]

It’s big server

[unborn badger]

people never think this through when they yell it I'm tired bruh 😭 ✌️

[magic rose]

Definitely it's literally a skin system

[scenic meteor]

We prob got plenty of lurkers

[magic rose]

(Me)

[fluid stone]

explain queen

[fluid stone]

cowerds

[obsidian plover]

TONS of them yeah

[fluid stone]

reading our arguments

[obsidian plover]

cobewebs

[fluid stone]

what is this the truman show

[unborn badger]

how do you retain the shell's identity

[fluid stone]

of course of course im not saying that

but like how locust is a destroyer

[scenic meteor]

Don’t matter there blueprints

[fluid stone]

there well be other destroyers

[unborn badger]

cuz usually when people want modular customization they want some crazy shit lol and then they complain about titans looking like hunters

[scenic meteor]

The shells got no identity

[fluid stone]

there littery in univers classes

[unborn badger]

no like visually

recon's a blockhead vandal got spikey hair

[fluid stone]

a destroyer shell is a destroyer

[unborn badger]

we need to keep those

[fluid stone]

LOCUS is 1 of them

[brittle spear]

https://tenor.com/view/tommy-boy-comedy-chris-farley-stressed-upset-gif-11704610607797404331

[fluid stone]

but you know theres other recons >+?

who might not have that exact design

unless i was gaslight and read a fake post

but i swear thered be other runners of the same class

[unborn badger]

within customization standards and that's good cuz I can look at it from afar and know it's a recon

[fluid stone]

we wont be playing icon for theif forever

[scenic meteor]

youll tell by the skills they use

if you die before they use a skill then thats a skill issue

[fluid stone]

look

[sturdy kiln]

wtf is people comparing marathon with apex

[fluid stone]

we prob aint gitting full costumization

atleast from the start

[brittle spear]

So will we have destiny raids or like open world bosses

[fluid stone]

that be a system they would have to build

[scenic meteor]

no

[sturdy kiln]

No lol

[fluid stone]

im sure it isnt easy

[fluid stone]

both

these fuckers wrong

[sturdy kiln]

Bro don’t confuse the guy

[scenic meteor]

open world bosses are not a thing?

[keen crow]

Mors Mihi Lucrum ! good morning Tau Ceti!

[fluid stone]

uh

the red uesc

who are bosses

who drop gold loot

[fluid stone]

not RAID bosses but bosses

[sturdy kiln]

The game is not open world in the first place, you get a boss in one of the map but is nothing like destiny

Like don’t use destiny as a comparison at all

[fluid stone]

open map

it isnt linear

[green lion]

guys what do you think about deluxe edition shell skins?

[fluid stone]

you can encounter the bosses

[fluid stone]

scoop you must be slow in the head

THE RED UESC

THE BOSS UESC

[scenic meteor]

i dont consider red uesc a boss

[fluid stone]

COME ON MAN

[worn knoll]

To think of that battlefield, the system of Lh'owon as its sun collapsed, as Thoth-Durandal released his hold on his oldest friend, as the Pfhor retreated in fear as they watched legends become reality, as the S'pht'kr's wrath laid waste to battle group seven. Well, it all could seem a bit cataclysmic to the untrained eye. And it was, or could be, or could have been, but sound does not travel through a vacuum. Many light years away, 25,000 or 500,000, depending on who you ask, earth stood oblivious.

You'll recall that when the Marathon's main comms array was fried by the Sfiera's EMP, the UESC noticed the lack of Marathon communications and sent a scouting ship, the Equanimity, to check out the situation. Well, that ship traveled unbothered for 90 some years, until 2888, when there was a slip up.

A mask for UESC operations, Interorbital United Shipping, accidentally misplaced a manifest. UESC_docu_PROGO_mani_TSR151. The manifest fo the UESC Equanimity. Traxus was on it like flies to a corpse. MIDA was on their heels.

[21:25:18] UrosBS_0111 Mida remains an active complication. They're open channels are taunting us, while
their closed channels are overtly referring to United and this new route.
[21:25:42] HedvT_6221 Mars is free. We freed it. What are they fighting for?
[21:25:49] KrisBD_4505 Boredom. There's nothing to rail against, so they make up enemies to pass the
time.
[21:25:53] HedvT_6221They're an annoyance, not a threat.

A mindset that would not lead them far.

[fluid stone]

thats what they are

[scenic meteor]

a enemy variant at most

[worn knoll]

sorry for the delay

[fluid stone]

by defanition

[sturdy kiln]

Not again

[worn knoll]

I'm remembering some shit

[fluid stone]

fucking fire

[worn knoll]

never ended, just on break

answering questions and then refreshing myself

[green lion]

i personally would definitely buy a ps5 marathon edition controller, but shell skins from deluxe editions are mid impo

[scenic meteor]

wym remembering are you going through rampancy and delving into timelines 👀

/ref

[worn knoll]

iongettit

[frigid lotus]

I’m not happy with the way they’ve done it, I don’t want to be able to tell what I’m up against, I want every player to be unique and a suprise

[fluid stone]

god dam they just left em for basiclty 100 years

[scenic meteor]

bruh

recon 54

rampancy

[worn knoll]

ships travel slow anyway

[worn knoll]

I do actually get it

[fluid stone]

blitzo what do you see the red uesc as

[worn knoll]

it was a joke

[scenic meteor]

im a chud

[fluid stone]

varyains or a type of boss

[scenic meteor]

ive been baited

[fluid stone]

ALTEAST a mini boss

[worn knoll]

mini-boss at best

[fluid stone]

ok thank you

[scenic meteor]

still not a boss

[sturdy kiln]

It’s call elite monster in any game

[fluid stone]

we see the red commander fucking creat fake clones of themselves

variant my ass

hes god gaurds

hes got a spawn

hes got gold loot

[cunning salmon]

I don’t want modular customization

I don’t want a hero shooter
