[celest coyote]

Do u mean chatting or jus trying to color in the whole message bubble

[wooden wolf]

I don't even know when I lost it

sometime between middle school and the end of highschool it disappeared

[kindred vigil]

did u have a dsi before the 3ds came out orr

[dim pike]

the bus chats went crazy

[celest coyote]

Dsi was my last handheld Nintendo

[dim pike]

animal crossing 🗣️ new leaf on 3ds

[old hollow]

It looks so interesting

[wooden wolf]

did anyone else do the thing with the stylus
IM KIDDING DONT KILL ME

[willow shadow]

Lol when dsi came out i never wanted one cause its just a ds with a camera lol

[dim pike]

it was an amazing game

[wooden wolf]

ok but the camera was cool

[weak saddle]

do the what

[wooden wolf]

(I literally never used the camera)

[kindred vigil]

Camera was tuff

[wooden wolf]

if you don't know be happy

[dim pike]

the best part was being able to record and edit your voice

[old hollow]

I had some of the figures but no game

[wooden wolf]

I did that so much

god

I wish I had mine I bet it was full of cringe

[willow shadow]

Meanwhile d3s had actual 3d display that shiw went hard fr

[dim pike]

the geode guy was my favorite

[wintry bough]

The little pen clicky thing

[drowsy junco]

is the beta closed?

[wooden wolf]

HUH

[languid ingot]

I don’t think you lost it anymore. Maybe your privileges were revoked

[wintry bough]

Or the chew on it ADHD style thing?

[dim pike]

it was so coool

[weak saddle]

hasn't started

[kindred vigil]

Flip note hatena 🥹🌹🔋

[willow shadow]

Pre order only yeah unlucky brotha

[drowsy junco]

pre order for code or i jsut gotta wait fr

[willow shadow]

Ma oke oke sorry im not hating on dsi

[wintry bough]

My stylus' always had a clicking part on the top to get them out of the ds itself. You could click it outside of the ds.

[dim pike]

is that the one where poeple would make hand drawn animations? that shit was awesome

[molten flax]

banana

[weak saddle]

i still have my ds lite and 3ds hehe

[willow shadow]

Bro im joking its free

[wooden wolf]

oh yea

I think

[willow shadow]

Just looking for my charger

[dim pike]

i thnk that was on the 3ds

[celest coyote]

Flipnote studio was so great

[willow night]

Really hopeful for this game's success, been an ARC fan since day one but this game also looks like it's shaping up to be a hit

[celest coyote]

Until my little brother found a flipnote of a stick figure peeing and got us banned from it

[weak saddle]

real- i lost mine years ago so i ended up buying a new one 😭

[cold stump]

would you guys be okay with a safe pocket if it was a lategame faction upgrade and was only for key items like keycards and vault keys?

[celest coyote]

My favorites were by a dude named gizmo

[kindred vigil]

Yesss

[wintry bough]

I had a 3DS, a 2DS and an original DS. So idk. Been too long.

[celest coyote]

Neeyth gotta send me ur fav flip notes

[kindred vigil]

Sure that's fine ig

I only know basshunter cuz of flipnote

[celest coyote]

I mean it’s not the worst thing

[dim pike]

i want to find my charger and go on that again

[kindred vigil]

That I can walk on water animation 🥹🌹🔋

[dim pike]

is that not a thing?

[cold stump]

no safe pocket exists in the game!

[celest coyote]

No I believe they said no butt hole

[wintry bough]

Meh. Maybe if it was relevant to story stuff. Otherwise it's just a cheap save.

[cold stump]

you die and lose everything thank goodness

[weary notch]

"since day one" is so funny when the game released less than 4 months ago 💀

[cold stump]

i agree, if it was a key to a loot stash then you should lose that on death

[wintry bough]

This isn't Arc Raiders. It's supposed to be punishing.

[dim pike]

the only thing is the artstyle. its amazing of course but you know theres gonna be people that would love the game that wont play it because of that

[cold stump]

ive been an arc fan since day -31 before even launch and i hope it FAILS

[weary notch]

Bro acting like this is the Dark Souls of extraction shooters

[wintry bough]

It might as well be.

[weary notch]

Based on what?

[dim pike]

tarkov is

[weary notch]

It's practically reskinned apex, and I dont even mean that as an insult

[wintry bough]

Ngl forgot Tarkov existed

[celest coyote]

Did anyone enjoy some good stick fight videos with linkin park music

[celest coyote]

Whut

[weary notch]

Do you speak a second language I can translate that in for better comprehension?

[wintry bough]

Tarkov doesn't have a unique style though. Kinda boring.

[languid ingot]

If you’re familiar with fps games then it’s nothing crazy

[celest coyote]

I’m not sure any language clarifies the logic

[dim pike]

if tarkov is the dark souls of extract shooters then what is marathon? arc is the fortnite of extract shooters btw

[weary notch]

You'd be surprised 🤔

[languid ingot]

Gotta be apex

[kindred vigil]

The elden ring of extraction shooters

[weary notch]

Like fr

[kindred vigil]

Idk this game isn't crazily hard or punishing tbf

[celest coyote]

Ok what makes it apex im curious

[tardy coral]

[kindred vigil]

Yes bro

[dim pike]

i mean thats a good comparison if we make tarkov the pubg of extract shooter

[mossy belfry]

Once’s the game out I’ll probably be just playing Arc raiders or Marathon until a new game comes out lol

[celest coyote]

Why are we making tarkov a pubg

Bc it’s not sci fi?

[wintry bough]

If Tarkov is Dark souls and Arc is Fortnite. Marathon is Prime Destiny.

[dim pike]

tarkov = pub, marathon = apex, arc = fornite

[kindred vigil]

prime destiny 🥀🙌😂❌ FOLK

[dim pike]

pre ordering now

[mossy belfry]

Interesting

[celest coyote]

Analogous isn’t the same as being a reskinned apex tho

[mossy belfry]

What about Highguard people??

[celest coyote]

In a league of its own above us

[willow night]

I've played in two of the playtests as well, been like 2 years for me if you wanna be technical

[dim pike]

one of those other fucking extraction shooters 💀

[mossy belfry]

Confused ahh game ngl

[weary notch]

The sliding, the grappling, the invisibility ult, the way the revives seem to work, the footprint tracking, like are you blind or? There is literally nothing about this game that screams it being any more punishing than any other extraction shooter I've seen or played

[celest coyote]

It’s dogshit

[kindred vigil]

skull emoji emote

[dim pike]

im dead emoji

[mossy belfry]

Modern Guns in a medieval period game lol 😂

[wintry bough]

Nah y'know what. Here. Since I wanna dog on Tarkov a little bit, how about this.

Tarkov - League
ARC - Fortnite
Marathon - Elden Ring

[kindred vigil]

FOLK

[weary notch]

Ok good point lol 😅

[kindred vigil]

🙌😂‼️🥀✌️

[celest coyote]

What? Grapples were not defined by apex, sliding is actually really not super far unless u have the class to slide, invisibility has been a thing in so many games?

Since when are any of those staples of specifically apex even?

Revives have worked like that in so many other games too

[indigo summit]

Hello chat the goat of all time hath returned upon this blessed evening

[celest coyote]

Before apex

[mossy belfry]

[weary notch]

Like what?

[molten flax]

WRONG

[indigo summit]

Convict

[weary notch]

Also, I'm still waiting for how this game is supposedly any more punishing than apex, because THAT was the point of my comparison, not to get your panties in a twist

[celest coyote]

Warzone, arc,

[celest coyote]

What I’m literally not saying anything about punishment

[weary notch]

Pretty sure apex's style of revives preceded both

[celest coyote]

You said it was a reskin of apex

Which isn’t true

That’s stupid

[kindred vigil]

icl April test did feel apexy I'm not gonna front

But that was pre delay marathon

[molten flax]

how

[indigo summit]

Don't you need to go to a specific point in apex to revive after full killed? You don't have to in marathon

[wintry bough]

First of all. Apex isn't punishing for the fact that you're not playing an extraction shooter. You're not losing anything more than the round if you die. Marathon is an extraction shooter.

[indigo summit]

You're wearing the Hannibal lecter mask I bet you eat ppl

[weary notch]

Well then follow the conversation bro tf you want me to do while you're boxing shadows

[indigo summit]

It's also got stamina so

[wintry bough]

Correct. I don't think they know what they're talking about

[primal frigate]

Did bro just join the discord to call it a ripoff

[celest coyote]

I wasn’t arguing for anything about that, I specifically mentioned one thing you said and only discussed that

[wintry bough]

And fall damage

[celest coyote]

Because that’s the point I wanted to make

[indigo summit]

That too

[kindred vigil]

wait apex got fall damage

[weary notch]

No :>

[kindred vigil]

Thought it didnt

[languid ingot]

Never

[indigo summit]

No apex doesn't marathon does

[celest coyote]

Also apex is titanfall dna

[primal frigate]

Whats your endgame here then like

[wintry bough]

No. Marathon has fall damage.

[molten flax]

😛 idk what ur on about\

[weary notch]

I said "the way the revives seem to work", if anything that point goes to apex for being more punishing lmao

[weary notch]

Maybe read the conversation, try scrolling up :>

[celest coyote]

Also pubg had a crawl revive mechanic

[primal frigate]

No

[weary notch]

Then don't :>

[celest coyote]

He’s just wanting to seem smart

[molten flax]

no longer hannibal lecter

[celest coyote]

Not actually concerned about having a discussion abt stuff

[primal frigate]

Thats what it seems like

[indigo summit]

Yo same

[wintry bough]

Yes. But they are nothing alike in the slightest. You pick up a card, and go to a beacon in Apex. In Marathon, it takes a longer revive on the original corpse. Reminds me of DMZ.

[indigo summit]

Plus there's a lockout now

[primal frigate]

You can break down any game into mechanics and say this is from that etc

[weary notch]

Bro I made a point and you haven't even flown within it's atmosphere, you're allowed to be wrong, aint nobody gonna be mad 😅

[dim pike]

halo invented health regen 😉

[wintry bough]

Wait what? Wdym by lockout?

[celest coyote]

I’m not even arguing about punishment

I was talking to u about something else

[kindred vigil]

what are we talking Abt anymor

[celest coyote]

Which you have yet to respond to

[primal frigate]

Idk how apex is more punishing when its a BR

[celest coyote]

Idk unfortunately I’m prone to bait bc I like debates but I’m also losing brain cells

[weary notch]

🌈 I didn't say it was🌈

[molten flax]

look now

[celest coyote]

You did?

[languid ingot]

I don’t think he’s talking about the game as a whole. Just the respawn mechanic

[kindred vigil]

What is ur pfp

[celest coyote]

Or said it’s comparable

[weary notch]

Ding!

[weary notch]

Oooooh, now that's different, isn't it?

[celest coyote]

Wait wait so bc a respawn mechanic is similar to not just one but a ton of games, that makes it a reskin?

[wintry bough]

Buddy I'm gonna be real here for a moment. You have zero idea of what you're talking about. Marathon has similarities to apex. Just like apex and Fortnite have similarities. There's no feasible way that Marathon could be less punishing than ANY Battle Royale, because Marathon is an extraction shooter.

[molten flax]

can you do the pic enlargening thing

[kindred vigil]

no

[molten flax]

well fuck you then

[weary notch]

I named like 4 or 5 different reasons, so no, my point was literally that this game is comparable to apex, not making it any more punishing than other extraction shooters

[kindred vigil]

Oh it's gunpla

I had to Google lens it

[celest coyote]

Ok but I asked why you said verbatim it’s an apex reskin

That you still haven’t responded to

[indigo summit]

In the alpha if you fully killed someone their team could just immediately revive them which meant if you sniped someone from far away or smth by the time you got there it's back to a 3v3 instead of a 2v3 but now there's a lockout before you can revive someone's from death so they can't immediately go back to a full team, no clue how long the lockout tiner is though

[weary notch]

Buddy you're so outside the conversation, you're lost, but keep arguing, it's fun to see

[wintry bough]

Comparable how? The respawns? Which is blatantly wrong and completely distinct??

[weary notch]

I gave you like 5 different reasons?

[celest coyote]

Hold on you said everyone involved in the convo is out of it, how does that work, that would mean you’re the only one in it, meaning you’re the common denominator

[indigo summit]

Actually apex is a ripoff of the original Marathons because it uses the mouse to aim in all directions in first person

[celest coyote]

So true

[weary notch]

Nah youre catching up, you got it bro

[weary notch]

True and based take

[wintry bough]

Oh ok. So a respawn delay. That makes more sense. Good for after firefight recovery. Bad for mid combat recovery.

[dim pike]

apex is a hero battle royale, marathon is a hero extraction. very comparable

[weary notch]

Dawg the respawn thing was a single point among like 5, would it make you feel better if I said I was wrong about that specific one?

[celest coyote]

So overwatch then

[indigo summit]

Correct

[dim pike]

no more like smash bros

[primal frigate]

Yep guys marathon is overwatch

[celest coyote]

We’re going one by one, if you actually respond instead of just changing the topic every time u hear a counterpoint then we can talk about the others

[kindred vigil]

👀

[wintry bough]

Yes. And Overwatch is a Hero Team shooter. And League is a Hero MOBA. I don't get why everyone is so offended by a game having heroes or distinct characters, when they've been a thing for decades.

[indigo summit]

I never played the alphas but apparently it was super annoying especially if they had a void cause he'd just drop smoke on the bag and the whole team is back

[celest coyote]

Idk it’s times like this I wish I drank

[languid ingot]

If marathon is fun, idc how original it is. Sure it can’t be a copy, and I doubt it will be. But we should praise it for the good stuff it copies from established games.

[molten flax]

@kindred vigil youd appreciate this pfp

[dim pike]

im not worried about it being a hero shooter im just making a comparison

[weary notch]

You're literally not going one-by-one lmfao, I'm responding to like 3 different individual conversations, nice debate bro strategy, but I haven't actually changed the topic, if anything I've recentered like twice

[kindred vigil]

Is dat curry 🥀

[molten flax]

fym 🥀

[indigo summit]

Originality is bs nowadays everyone has made everything to the point that every game is just a mishmash of other stuff, it's how they stuff is put into a fully incorporated product that makes it good

[kindred vigil]

Stephen Curry as gojo

[weary notch]

Bro thinks I was upset when I compared it to apex 😭 I literally didn't even mean it as an insult and said as much

[molten flax]

si

[wintry bough]

My point is that people calling it "just a ripoff of other hero shooters" makes absolutely Zero sense because that's literally how most games in the past have been made.

[celest coyote]

Idk I’m done

[indigo summit]

Like you can compare anything to anything and find similarities

[wintry bough]

Exactly

[weary notch]

True, no comparisons are ever valid

Anyone know what the DAC in my DM's from this server is about?

[dim pike]

gotcha jjust wanna remind everyone this conversation began by comparing the big battle royales to the big extraction shooters. marathon is clearly closest to apex

[kindred vigil]

It's from arg

[celest coyote]

It started bc he specifically said reskin

[languid ingot]

I hope the skins are really cool

[celest coyote]

Reskin is different from similarity

[weary notch]

False, this conversation started because someone mentioned Marathon being somehow more punishing than other extraction shooters, and I disagreed, comparing it to apex in its level of punishing-ness

And then everyone lost their minds

[primal frigate]

Yeah bcuz it has sliding, grappling and invisibility right 💀

[languid ingot]

Marathon has sliding?

[dim pike]

im jsut saying all this bs started because we started making comparisons. im not going to read through everything

[primal frigate]

Compared to Arc it will be

[indigo summit]

Nobody cares when you compare shit, ppl care when you compare something in a bad faith way, if you say "Thief's grapple is similar to Pathfinders but it differs so it's neat" ppl will be like "yeah they're both grapples but they worth differently in a couple ways" but if you just say "This whole game is a reskin of Apex" ppl are gonna tell you to stfu

[celest coyote]

I’m so glad apex invented those

[wintry bough]

Yes. Might as well be vandal's while gimmick

[primal frigate]

Yeah i dont get this

[celest coyote]

It’s not super substantial outside of vandal

[wintry bough]

Active camo existed before apex

[eager token]

Marathon is a competitive extraction shooter, it’s gonna be punishing

[celest coyote]

Whaaaaa

[dim pike]

halo was actually the original video game and everyone just copies what bungie perfected a millenia ago

[prime siren]

Im not gonna lie, the lighting, especially for indoor environments in marathon is god damn perfect

I dont know how, but these environments are lit in such a way to make me feel like I'm walking in the middle of a stylized story cutscene or something, it looks so fucking good. Its obviously very curated in a ton of areas, and I feel like its gonna add to how memorable experiences in game are.

[indigo summit]

What game even invented it because in my head it's Halo and that's hilarious

[celest coyote]

I agree

[indigo summit]

It looks super cool

[eager token]

That’s Bungie for ya

[primal frigate]

Right it looks sooooo goooooooooood

[celest coyote]

The matte textures look like, soft? Even without actually having a ton of texture detail

[wintry bough]

At this point it might as well be the golden standard for shooters, but nobody looks at the manual anymore.

[celest coyote]

It’s gotta be the lighting

[prime siren]

Literally feels like im walking through a cutscene area, BIZARRE

[indigo summit]

I love people online saying it looks like Roblox because it's blocky 😭 that's kinda the point lmao

[celest coyote]

Like I see a wall and I just wanna put my face on it

[molten flax]

literally what the highguards dev failed to understad

[wintry bough]

I'm pretty sure it was the first game to take it seriously into account.

[weary notch]

This is so whooosh I can't even tackle it, good job, ya got me

[indigo summit]

Ppl shit on Bungie now but they are genuinely probably the grandfather's of literally all modern fps games

[dim pike]

it is the gold standard. halo and call of duty black ops 7

[celest coyote]

Didn’t marathon og have invis

[wintry bough]

Somebody had the "how to make a game, for dummies" book sitting on their desk and instead of reading it, used it as an armrest.

[celest coyote]

Or was that invinc

One of them had one of those

[weary notch]

ARGs always seem so cool, I'll see if I can figure anything out ab it <3

[wintry bough]

Incorrect. Bungie Revolutionized the Shooter genre, but it all started with Doom.

[molten flax]

not even , they left it in the moving boxes in the basement

[dim pike]

wasnt doom the first fps?

[primal frigate]

Well he did say modern fps

[molten flax]

AND TITANFALL COULD HAVE BEEN THE NEXT BIG THING

[wintry bough]

Point is, they had the manual, but decided not to read it.

[molten flax]

FUCK

[prime siren]

I like a punishing world that makes me feel challenged and in danger, I just want the game to still feel rewarding, even if I die. If the game is just loss after loss with no progression if i dont extract, im gonna lose motivation and walk away.

Especially if extracting is a rarity, which it appears to be.

[indigo summit]

I mean yeah, but the original Marathon created aiming in all directions with your mouse and Halo invented so much other stuff

[celest coyote]

Kinda, technically there were some in like the 70s

I think doom was the first like super popular one that made people go awooga

[wintry bough]

Yes and no. Some people debate that it was Quake. But doom is far more well known.

[dim pike]

i tried playing titanfall 2 again the other day and there was only 20 people online 🫡

[celest coyote]

😔

[kindred vigil]

Google marathon arg it should pop up

[weary notch]

Pretty sure the Quake scene pioneered using WASD lol

[indigo summit]

I mean the like og og is doom but Bungie were the ones that people actually copied yk? After Marathon nobody made games without fully directional mouse movement

[primal frigate]

Well youll still have the contracts completed i imagine

[molten flax]

using northstar or nah?

[dim pike]

yup

[indigo summit]

Them too

[molten flax]

🥀

[languid ingot]

I really don’t understand the glaze for bungie’s gunplay, lowkey. I’ve play a bit of D2 and a bunch of other shooters. D2 wasn’t substantially above average in gunplay

[celest coyote]

I’m a scorch scum

[wintry bough]

Prime Bungie was a gaming Monarch. Just like Prime EA. But we will never get those back sadly.

[wintry bough]

Eat this ion laser

[celest coyote]

That’s ok, wrong opinions are ok to have

[celest coyote]

I do love some ion too

[indigo summit]

Marathon, Quake and Doom are definitely the three og founders of first person shooters

[weary notch]

Honestly same, I prefer apex/Titanfall 2 gunplay over Destiny or Halo's

[molten flax]

its just Good™

[wintry bough]

KAMEHAME- FUCK YOU

[celest coyote]

I think marathon was also the first major one to have vertical looking

[prime siren]

All im saying is, they need good reward systems and consistent progression for most people to want to stick around. They need rewards beyond just items, and it cant come too slowly, especially for asking $40

[glass ravine]

it really is just good

[indigo summit]

Honestly I think Bungie as a company is kinda fine? People just lost literally ALL trust for them after they sunsetted destiny content

[eager token]

He said modern. When halo was shown for the first time after Xbox bought them. It was completely different. If you watch the Xbox documentary they talk about how Joe staten was told to make the controller seen on camera so people could see how he was playing the game. At the time that was considered revolutionary

[weary notch]

Marathon's doesn't seem too bad though, I'll have to feel it out before I can comment too much

[primal frigate]

Well yeah thats the vendors

[dim pike]

it was funny how in the vidoc the devs were like "bungie has always made iconic guns and crazy scifi lore, and we're gonna try to live up to that" like theyre not bungie 😭

[kindred vigil]

It's a marketing strat

[wintry bough]

Their track record isn't perfect but it's by no means the worst I've ever seen cough cough Activision blizzard cough cough

[glass ravine]

because they want to meet the expectations they set on themselves

[celest coyote]

I mean they kinda aren’t, the dev team has changed over and over

[indigo summit]

Like I think that's the single worst mistake Bungie has ever made and people saying they don't trust them to not do it again are dumb because they know it was a mistake and they're NEVER gonna do it again

[primal frigate]

Theyre not the og bungie anymore

[proven kernel]

all modern controller controls for fps originated from Halo.

[celest coyote]

There’s like 2 ppl from og Bungie actually still there

[indigo summit]

Yeah

[molten flax]

tbf, why the fuck would you trust a big corporation

[weary notch]

Based take, you couldn't pay me to play one of their games

[molten flax]

they arent your friend

[kindred vigil]

nah there's around 6-7

[celest coyote]

And even from later bungie so many have swapped

[molten flax]

also mish mash go sleep

[glass ravine]

six sevennnnn

[kindred vigil]

mishmash

The only good publisher right now is Kepler interactive

[indigo summit]

It makes me sad seeing gaming discourse on the Internet because ppl flame the devs constantly when 90% of the time it's managements fault

[wintry bough]

Kepler has been doing a surprisingly good job at being picky.

[indigo summit]

I mean look at modern Ubisoft

C-suite execs are CEO, COO, etc. Positions

I fear the day Gabe passes

I hope Gabe has a plan for after he dies because if valve becomes ruled by shareholders PC gaming might actually be fucked

[molten flax]

oh he has 100000%

[wintry bough]

Correct. I can't remember anything off the top of my head though.

[languid ingot]

I heard this. I think we’ll see a titan die soon ngl. No one but tencent is will benefit from it either

[primal frigate]

Combat in both leaves something to desire

Its supbar imo

[eager token]

I’m fairly certain Ubisoft has like 4 years before they get bought out by tencent

[wintry bough]

It might be a crime against humanity, but I haven't played the witcher games.

Ubisoft is buying itself

[indigo summit]

Yeah I've said a few times in my life that blank company is gonna go bankrupt and shut down but Ubisoft might be the only one I truly believe has a chance of happening

[celest coyote]

3 fucks

[dim pike]

gonna try to get through 3 before 4 comes out though

[forest laurel]

going private

[languid ingot]

That’s optimistic

Blood and Wine is probably one of the best expansions of a game.

I still need to play that game, I own it on steam

[weary notch]

Forgiven, I've only played 2, but their philosophy around giving gamers goodies for buying their games plus the literal existence of GOG makes them the goat imo

[primal frigate]

I just hope i dont lose my games on uplay 😭

[eager token]

Tencent already owns a stake in the company. Both parties signed an agreement that said the tencent couldn’t buy the rest of the shares until 2030

Really hoping marathon has a decent endgame, not just “forcing” a complete reset to keep enjoying it. After finishing all achievements, quests, and blueprints in arc, I’m just killing on sight and goofing off.

[weary notch]

Is there new-marathon info on the factions written up anywhere or do I have to read old-marathon lore to figure out what's up?

[lusty spoke]

Cryo archive seems to be the general endgame activity

Nah I mean just in general. The amount of slurs that get thrown around nowadays is nothing compared to a decade ago. But good God they really just need to stop.

[wintry bough]

Yes I have. It's disappointing

[celest coyote]

Holy shit it’s krait

[kindred vigil]

The power of anonymity makes ppl do this more

i do hope slurs r just auto flags and just mutes you but general swears r fine

[wintry bough]

Seems they're waiting on the sky to change.

[languid ingot]

You can be your own mod by turning it off

[dim pike]

people just have no creativity when they need to talk shit

[wintry bough]

Yeah but then there's no point to having prox chat. Or interaction in general.

[kindred vigil]

slurs = funny people have the brain and creativity of a rock

[celest coyote]

Yeah u gotta combo them words like crazy

slurs are the easy route after losing a fight, you hear that voice, you just know

that voice 💀

[indigo summit]

Its funny

[proven kernel]

now watch his drive.

[kindred vigil]

I mean I generally dgaf about it cuz I'm not gonna hear or see that person after that match but there should be definitely more moderation on it

[dim pike]

shakespearian instults might be the new meta

[indigo summit]

If I kill you and you call me a slur I know you're bigoted and uncreative

[kindred vigil]

cuz just because Idgaf doesn't mean ppl should say it willy nilly nor is it ok not everyone has the same emotional tolerance

[wintry bough]

Fr. People that spam slurs will just get killed faster.

[weary notch]

Normalize TKing slur-users

I think most people use slurs now aday just because people one way or another dislike them therefore are at any% upset about it even if it's not bc of the reasons most obvious

90% of competitive anything has slurs

They're like dogs though, they won't learn from delayed consequences, they deserve immediate consequences :/

[primal frigate]

Id go for a NuCal burger rn

[wooden wolf]

but at the same time people wouldn't do it if it didn't work

[wintry bough]

Doesn't help that I'm a minority, within a minority... So slurs do in fact target me sometimes.

[wooden wolf]

I consider slurs as rage bait

[dim pike]

you gotta tell them to go lay an egg before tking them thatll teach em

[tight ether]

negative contact, search coords 2:41:01 x 288x

[wooden wolf]

using them is dumb but getting actually upset at them is just falling for it

[forest laurel]

they get upset everytime still

[indigo summit]

It's sorta impossible to do that though, until AI or smth gets 100% accurate at recognizing slurs and banning you it won't happen immediately

[proven kernel]

same. of course people have called me slurs to my face in here not realizing i can remove them in record time so….

[languid ingot]

Slinging slurs in a paid game is not smart

people should just stop trying so hard to be edgy

[tight ether]

More like 1440p cuz of the cpu overhead though its not as bad anymore

You wait for the day of the slam and then download it :> (I think)

[languid ingot]

It’ll take about 6.5 business days

[wooden wolf]

I mean its literally a very competent card for any game that doesn't require dlss

[molten flax]

1440 is pushing it unless running with intel XeSS even then itd be like 60-80 frames

[wooden wolf]

which sadly is most modern titles

[weary notch]

download it on the day it releases no?

maybe 1 hour or more pre DL, probably yes

[balmy birch]

a website for discounted keys

[wooden wolf]

that's crazy considering the game isn't out yet

and keys don't exist yet

you prolly got scammed

[balmy birch]

yeah i meant after it releases

[weary notch]

These are rarely that good unless the game has already been on some crazy discount

In my experience

[tight ether]

wait a minute,
Is this the marton gang that I rember?

[pulsar cradle]

is the server slam gonna be open and download or you gotta do some extra shit to get in?

[pallid lynx]

you can get marathon deluxe edition rn for 15 percent off on this one website people seem to trust somewhat

[balmy birch]

nah instant gaming is probably like the best one out there (I've only tried that so far)

[languid ingot]

DAC level 10

[wooden wolf]

iirc key websites only exist off the key grey market where they steal/aquire keys through various methods that aren't illegal but not normal so you don't have customer protections if you don't get what you paid for

[weary notch]

You gotta spin 3 times in your gaming chair and say "Marton Marton let me in" every time

[tight ether]

gotta go to TC4 sorry

[kindred vigil]

oooooo😲

[pulsar cradle]

[pallid lynx]

[molten flax]

bc we hate you pickles

[pulsar cradle]

[wintry bough]

Me over here being unemployed

[kindred vigil]

why is everyone love calling me mean for the slightest thing

🥀

[weary notch]

This is true on paper, but I've never had any issues using a key site tbh (I've bought like, maybe 10 keys total, so ur mileage may vary)

[languid ingot]

We’d love you more at NuCal

[wooden wolf]

most the time the keys are free keys the web has "obtained"

[balmy birch]

yep

[languid ingot]

Join us

[wooden wolf]

I got scammed by g2a for close to $100

[pulsar cradle]

Gaius is the coolest ai

[wintry bough]

"dw it's just a joke"

[pallid lynx]

i have the perfect soup of mental disorders where i'm convinced everyone is trying to hurt me

[weary notch]

Bro why are you buying anything off a Grey site for more than like $20? 😭

[pallid lynx]

lolhow

[weary notch]

I got battlefield 5 for like $6

[balmy birch]

recently ive even gotten re7 and 8 on there and instead of a copy-paste key there was a literal scanned paper to redeem the key

[languid ingot]

He’s Delamain fr

[wooden wolf]

g2a used to be the go to for csgo gambling

[willow shadow]

But thats cause g2a is like ebay

[pallid lynx]

he's bald

[kindred vigil]

paranoia

[tight ether]

I have the cure for you,

[weary notch]

NAHHHH THATS ON YOU LMAO

[wooden wolf]

hehe

[tame thicket]

Ayo that server slam gonna be crazy or what lol

[weary notch]

I do not gamba 😇

[kindred vigil]

The coolest ai is gantry icl

[willow shadow]

For sure

[pulsar cradle]

ill be a marathon maniac even

[pallid lynx]

everyone who gambles is weaker than me. Except for the times where i gamble a little bit as a treat. But like i do it differently

[kindred vigil]

I'd say charter but

[weary notch]

Anyone here like Hunt: Showdown?

[kindred vigil]

What is he

[wooden wolf]

actually it was because they "signed" me up for a subscription service I never accepted and just charged my card without me authorizing when I was 16

[weary notch]

Literally me fr

[kindred vigil]

I tried watching the vid on aranche but it's just a flag?

[tame thicket]

Same it's about to be peak I think aha

[kindred vigil]

idk what he's supposed to be

[balmy birch]

is gantry an ai even? i thought it was an actual person

[pallid lynx]

i don't like the way he talks really

[weary notch]

Oof, I'm sorry <3

[pulsar cradle]

veryyy peak

[kindred vigil]

all the factions are ai I think

[pallid lynx]

gantry is like a guy. I think they're all ais

[kindred vigil]

[pallid lynx]

but gantry is like A whole guy

most of them are just heads

[kindred vigil]

He's probably a mf

mc*

[pallid lynx]

gantry's all of the guy. Hand he's got that little thing in his mouth

[wooden wolf]

bc of that I went really autistic into digging into g2a rabbit hole to hate them even more and discovered the video game key grey market

[weary notch]

No no you might be onto something

[pallid lynx]

he suckin on that little thing. That's his teether he's teething

[balmy birch]

i thought the only ais were oni, nona and possibly the nucal dude

[wooden wolf]

like 90% of keys sold on those websites are keys handed out by devs, stolen in some shape or form, or from promotional events

[kindred vigil]

This is the vid on charter, what the fuck is he

Is that a face at the top or

[chilly owl]

Meow

[pallid lynx]

yeah that's his face

glowy bits are his eye

s

[languid ingot]

An abomination

[pallid lynx]

And he's got a little thing in his mouth he's suckin on. He';s got like a harmonica

[wooden wolf]

insane

[kindred vigil]

The face makes it look ugly icl

[wooden wolf]

he's sucking on it

[pallid lynx]

He's suckin on it

I swear

[iron blaze]

Wtf are you guys still doing in here?

[pallid lynx]

Breaking my NDA a little here: Charter's sucking on it

[pallid lynx]

in what sense

[wooden wolf]

hi ped

I thought you went to sleep

[pallid lynx]

guin

[iron blaze]

I did sleep....

[weary notch]

The only reason this doesn't rile me up like at all is bc the likelihood that its actually eating into any notable profits are like 2% lmao I feel like if I know I'm gonna like a game, getting it off a key site and leaving a good review is probably a more positive impact than just not buying it bc my broke ass can't afford buying it lol

[wooden wolf]

wait how long has it been

[iron blaze]

4 hrs?

[wooden wolf]

for me it's less about profits and it's more about how it feels like buying stolen goods on Facebook marketplace

technically you are not in the wrong but it's still wrong

[wooden wolf]

dude

eep more

[weary notch]

That's valid tbh, I think I place digital goods and like actual physical goods in different categories

[wooden wolf]

very true

[iron blaze]

@wooden wolf i cant... 🙁

[weary notch]

Like one person had to lose that thing for you to buy it off of fb marketplace

[wooden wolf]

that's why it's a grey market and not a black market because legal prescident doesn't exist

[iron blaze]

Man phone discord sucks

[weary notch]

Ic ic

[weary notch]

Hey man I'm trying my best here ok

[celest coyote]

Have u tried closing ur eyes

[weary notch]

Gna make me switch over to my pc 😔

[wooden wolf]

do I need to read you a bedtime story

[iron blaze]

Too warm

[wooden wolf]

I'm still in the bath

[celest coyote]

To close your eyes?

[wooden wolf]

nah valid

[weary notch]

Have you tried astral projecting to somewhere colder?

[wooden wolf]

splish splash

fuck it's 4 am

[primal frigate]

Fanatical is fine

[willow shadow]

im sure some key sites are almost just as popular as steam and steam tbf is only a lancher that markets games and takes 30 percent so...

[pulsar cradle]

loser

[iron blaze]

How long have you been in that bath 😭

[wooden wolf]

I think this is a non answer?

[primal frigate]

Fanatical got a discount on the preorder, they partner with the devs

[regal marten]

Anyone else

[wooden wolf]

you're just stating random unrelated facts

[willow shadow]

im not

[wooden wolf]

I think since 1:30am

[regal marten]

Hello

[primal frigate]

Or i guess publishers not devs

[iron blaze]

You sure ur not a fish...? 🐡

[old hollow]

Feels nice to do my laundry

[weary notch]

Can you clarify your point bc that was my takeaway too lmfao

[old hollow]

I am laundrymaxxing

[wooden wolf]

glub glub

[regal marten]

Yall being weird af as usual?

[icy dagger]

Clean af

[willow shadow]

that buying from steam doesnt justify ur purchase and that not every key is stolen

[icy dagger]

Mebe

It calmed down since last night's chan wave

[regal marten]

I like assessing assasin better

[weary notch]

Why would buying direct from a store not de-facto be more legitimate than buying from a key site that you don't know where the key is coming from

[icy dagger]

Idfk but I arrived it was awful

[regal marten]

It was intense and weird fr fr

[icy dagger]

Haters and trolls

[willow shadow]

because like i said not every key is stolen

[iron blaze]

2 and half hours of pure fish activity
