[grave smelt]

ok 👽

[cold stump]

technically no planets are spheres

[celest coyote]

They also will form into a sphere after a critical mass is reached

[kindred vigil]

then what r the planet

[forest tapir]

no planet no slavery

[bitter hollow]

i actually prefer bojangles over popeyes but kfc fr is better than both

[celest coyote]

Which is why there are moons that are potato shaped but some that are rounder

[bitter hollow]

raising canes is overrated

[cold stump]

all planets are cones

[celest coyote]

Also yeah earth is pear shaped technically

[kindred vigil]

cone 🍦

[celest coyote]

And Ganymede is literally bigger than mercury

[bitter hollow]

zaxbys has the best chicken no doubt

[forest tapir]

what is your tendency to commit crime

[celest coyote]

And would be a planet if it wasn’t attached to Jupiter

[naive pine]

What’s the word? Spheroid?

[livid ledge]

It’s just. Since volcanoes. You know it’s not all that perfectly symmetrical? Right?

[bitter hollow]

america

[twilit sparrow]

kfc chicken has 6 arms bro that shit like a dark souls boss total abomination

[celest coyote]

Oblate spheroids

[broken chasm]

Nandos best chicken tbh

[forest tapir]

in america the chicken asks you why did you cross the roa

[bitter hollow]

nah ong lmao its still so gas tho

[forest tapir]

i found the british, skin and lynch him

[bitter hollow]

zaxbys fr has THE BEST chicken

[celest coyote]

And the sun is the most perfect sphere we have observed in nature

[tiny marsh]

lol

[bitter hollow]

this might be controversial but what is the best fast food place

[broken chasm]

I assure you; I am American, lol.
My wife is Australian, and I lived in Melbourne for many years.

[celest coyote]

Or the closest thing to a perfect sphere to phrase it better

[livid ledge]

Or just HEB rotisserie

[kindred vigil]

The one you like I think

[tiny marsh]

He can’t be, I’m the president

[grave smelt]

well, it starts kinda symmetrical. But then an outward bulge at the equator appears due to centrifugal effect of a spinning planet. So most planets are what is called an oblate spheroid.

Then it is up to chemistry processes within the atmposphere to shape whats ground, whats not etc. tectonic movement, temperature and structure of the core will also affect what happens including volcanoes

[bitter hollow]

in everyone elses opinions what is the best fast food

[kindred vigil]

prolly jack the box

[naive pine]

Taco Bell or Jaggers

[livid ledge]

Yea. Makes sense.

[celest coyote]

Ban speedrun

[bitter hollow]

jaggers is a crazy pull ngl

jack in the box is gas

[delicate berry]

taco bell is pretty good value

[outer lichen]

Its more of a PNW thing but Zipps is pretty damn good

[celest coyote]

I agree

[grave smelt]

try Paco Dell

[livid ledge]

Lmao you fawkin run.

[celest coyote]

I’m doing more space facts bc I cannot sleep and it’s 7AM

[bitter hollow]

taco bell has some of the best tasting food in terms of quality but the steak grilled cheese burrito and nacho fries kinda carry nowadays

[celest coyote]

Uh fuckin

[delicate berry]

price too

[grave smelt]

its tacos that they fry on Dell laptops

[celest coyote]

Stars explode n shit

[kindred vigil]

flaminh hot burritos from c
Taco Bell 🤤

[livid ledge]

Fawk no. Not anymore

[naive pine]

There’s a burger place in Seattle, Katsuburger, that knocked my freaking socks off

[celest coyote]

Type 1a supernovae are like the best things that ever happened to astronomers

[bitter hollow]

price is also good tbh the shit thats not $5+ still tastes good

[celest coyote]

Thank you Chandrasekhar

[livid ledge]

Hell no. That’s enough for the day.

I’m out

[outer lichen]

Never been, but if I'm back up that way sometime I'll keep an eye out. Come to think of it I have a buddy up in that area I'll ask if he's been

[bitter hollow]

space fact tau ceti has advanced ai and it is the second closest solar system to us 🫃

[delicate berry]

[bitter hollow]

@dapper oar

[celest coyote]

That would be Barnards star

[balmy birch]

leela is a chuddess............

[livid ledge]

I really didn’t mean to pick the world up and drop it on their heads.

[bitter hollow]

shit you right i just remember tau ceti once being the closest known solar system a while ago

[grave smelt]

funny

[grave smelt]

moderator said so

[celest coyote]

It was the closest one with a candidate for habitability until v recently

[balmy birch]

it's so over.................

[outer lichen]

It would take approximately 8 minutes between the detonation of our sun and when we see it, before we had any idea what had happened.

[celest coyote]

Bc now there’s supposedly a candidate or 2 in Proxima Centauri

[bitter hollow]

ohhhh yeah i had it confused that makes more sense lmao my fault

[livid ledge]

Made a lot of kids today 😂

[celest coyote]

We would also orbit it for those 8 minutes

[grave smelt]

niiice

[celest coyote]

Bc causality

[livid ledge]

lol jk ain’t no way.

[celest coyote]

Even though it had disappeared

[celest coyote]

Tis no issue

[grave smelt]

I mean wasn't it a relativity joke?

[bitter hollow]

dont worry chat ima go to proxima centauri and find life for us i been working on something

[delicate berry]

fromz j presen

ts

[celest coyote]

Doooo iiiit

[livid ledge]

Yes it was lmao. It kinda is shady though

[subtle bobcat]

goy im crine

[naive pine]

And on a micro level, when you burp, you don’t hear it as it happened, but how your sense organs interpreted the info a few milliseconds ago,

[grave smelt]

I liked it

[balmy birch]

NOOO THEY JUST CALLED OFF TOMORROW'S EXAM 😭😭😭

[grave smelt]

if they called it off, that means that the news reached you only 8 minutes after that

[bitter hollow]

if i say the big yahu's name will i get banned

[balmy birch]

lmaooooo

[celest coyote]

And you’ll orbit the news for 8 mins

[livid ledge]

I’m not holding anything against anyone. Bringing everything to light to even know I was just kidding is enough.

[outer lichen]

Some elements such as gold baffle scientists, who theorize their creation would require the detonation of a white dwarf or neutron star to form

[celest coyote]

They do

[grave smelt]

you can pergonat me again if you want

[celest coyote]

Basically everything heavier than iron has to be made in supernovae

[bitter hollow]

cause i was gonna ask a dumbass question

[balmy birch]

is that max verstappen in your pfp

[livid ledge]

Lmao more cushion for the pushin

[naive pine]

Boxers are unquestionably the most comfortable form of brief.

[celest coyote]

Bc iron is the heaviest element that can be formed in fusion for a star, then it stops giving out energy to fuse

[bitter hollow]

i also dont know what that means bruh my last 2 brain cells are hard at work rn

[outer lichen]

So, by extention, we are having this conversation using the remnants of a collapsed star

[delicate berry]

have you guys noticed that documentaries about major events have been coming out closer and closer to the actual events

[storm horizon]

boo

[bitter hollow]

idk who that is but if hes a beautiful man ill take it

hell nah

[balmy birch]

the f1 driver

[urban apex]

Yo guys next Thursday we get to play marathon let’s freaking go I’m trying to stay away from YouTube there are so many people hating on the game and are saying that they aren’t pre ordering but ik this game will be a hit and an awesome and absolutely fun time

[grave smelt]

we are all children of stars because we were made of earth's matter which originated in basically space dust

[naive pine]

Are you talking about the game? Or just like….news?

[celest coyote]

We’re remnants of population ii and population 3 stars

[grave smelt]

Sir, this is not a Marathon server

[bitter hollow]

[balmy birch]

this is a wendys

[urban apex]

[wooden void]

Can someone explain the whole lore in 1 sentance

[livid ledge]

Yea. I might be. Define unbound and let me know if that’s Epsteinish. Never meant I was predator or hiding anything.

[kindred vigil]

[bitter hollow]

[celest coyote]

Durandal batshit crazy aliens fight explode die

[balmy birch]

i am the knock who ones

[grave smelt]

People made a colony far away in space, the colony smh died and now they are sending mercenaries to see whats left

[outer lichen]

Robot is mad about being forced to control doors and toilets, and decides to make it literally everyone else's problem

[delicate berry]

zero dark 30 had like an 11 year gap between the attack and the documentary, fast forward to today and theres a 1 year gap between the p diddly trials and the documentary. these are just 2 examples but there definitely are more cases of this

[wooden void]

Aliens wait so is there pve in this game?!

[delicate berry]

things are just going faster and faster

[bitter hollow]

believe it or not i think brisbane has some of the best burgers i have ever had ngl

[celest coyote]

There is pve but its robots from UESC, and compilers

[grave smelt]

there are no aliens but there are pve elements

wait, compilers?

[balmy birch]

no you dont get to play with anyone you're literally alone in the void

[grave smelt]

they are aliens, right?

[naive pine]

Dude I’m dumb, I first misread documentaries as documents

[wooden void]

Wait so the players us are useless

[bitter hollow]

yeah bruh i aint getting political in discord with the big dmg in here lmao im not cultured

aussie

[wooden void]

Wait soooooooo there a void?

[grave smelt]

huh? we are those mercenaries. we just go to the colony, loot stuff and come back (or die)

[subtle bobcat]

basically all you need to know is global geopolitics is all about worshipping ancient false deities to gain the power of the world at the cost of your soul

[celest coyote]

Probably worth looking up summary videos

[wooden void]

Wait so why is this game in the epstein files seems normal

[balmy birch]

sigh

[celest coyote]

Jjaro met bill Clinton

[grave smelt]

I see I see...

[celest coyote]

Yeah

[bitter hollow]

[naive pine]

Funny this ain’t even a joke lol

[outer lichen]

Yeah that's the plot to the prequel game XD

[wooden void]

The files were the only reason i bough deluxe 🥺

[wooden void]

[livid ledge]

Yea. It’s pretty much discord dynamic. Your CyAc bound to begin with.

[livid ledge]

🎖️

[tired junco]

dang i had no idea classic marathon was free, imma get it all right now

[bitter hollow]

aye infinity is the 3rd one right

[outer lichen]

There's some legal nuance to the why, it's not bungie updating them it's a freelance team and they're not legally allowed to make money off it. Cool that Bungie isn't pulling a nintendo tho

[kindred vigil]

Yes

[scenic meteor]

Not u cause u build into the side of a mountain n living homelessly

[delicate berry]

waow scooby ranked up

🎉

[subtle bobcat]

real, but most all global leaders and big corpo guys do, btw thiel is still a frontman and so is palantir but its closer to the source and good for an average person to look into in order to open their eyes

[scenic meteor]

I know I’m plat I’m basically in the big leagues now

[primal frigate]

And then nonstop foot on gas

[bitter hollow]

whats a job?

[dense goblet]

||employment||

[tawny ridge]

I cant wait to hop off ARC and be able to play a game that is actually competitive

[bitter hollow]

mods ban this person

[balmy birch]

a yob is a social construct

[tawny ridge]

Marathon is going to actually be competitive and have a endgame

[dense goblet]

It'll be a nice change of pace

[bitter hollow]

so jobs are ai generated

[balmy birch]

likely

[bitter hollow]

ill just stick to the royal navy then

[naive pine]

I think one of arc’s foibles is that the PVP feels terrible, mechanically

[primal frigate]

And that the quests are boring af

And that theres no endgame

[bitter hollow]

man for me i really like just destroying people wirh a ferro but maybe thats just me

[primal frigate]

And that the whole progression is just crafting

[bitter hollow]

i havent played since stella dropped tho

its like how helldivers forces u to have bad aim

Select which game in settings before downloading

[rough sail]

hi all

[storm horizon]

hi

[karmic sable]

on Xbox app you have to download all of it and then delete the games you dont want in the games menu

[rough sail]

blocked

[storm horizon]

we're cooked

[delicate berry]

sackboy? i thought we took you out back last year?

[bitter hollow]

i usually download all of them just in case i get bored but ima download h3 hr and h2a and h2 and maybe h4

[karmic sable]

I mean, we are far parts into the insanity

[storm horizon]

i love sacks

[bitter hollow]

i dont understand how these old ass games are so large

[naive pine]

ODST?

[bitter hollow]

odst is mid

[delicate berry]

battlefront collection rerelease 🤣

[storm horizon]

we are insane

[karmic sable]

you will get mauled by Reddit for saying that

[bitter hollow]

i still have bf2 on my old ps2 i think

[keen zinc]

the biggest one is h2a 29gb bro 😭

[bitter hollow]

bro odst campaign is a cool concept but bungie was on crack when they made it

[keen zinc]

thats more than highguard 🔥

[bitter hollow]

like how you boutta make a halo campaign where you have to slow walk across the entire map to get to a single mission

[last wing]

GOOP

[bitter hollow]

a solid 40% of odst campaign is walking

[keen zinc]

but there's jazz music

[delicate berry]

i hate going slow as much as anyone else, but when the atmosphere hits and the devs want you to experience it i think its fair for them to do that

[bitter hollow]

and even then reach was also kinda mid on release but the halo cycle goes every 2 games that drop they like the game that came out 2 games prior and that has been the cycle ever since odst dropped

[eager token]

What is going on in here

[bitter hollow]

in my mind h3 was the last actual halo game and the others might as well be fan made games

[keen zinc]

holy shit, it's the rookie

[naive pine]

Playing on heroic or legendary, walking becomes sneaking and sweating about health/ammo. I enjoyed the tension

[eager token]

We got a sprint mfer here

[stuck birch]

Hi Little @pulsar cradle

[naive pine]

Not a fan or reach either?

[bitter hollow]

nah nah nah

[celest coyote]

ODST vibes were immaculate

[jagged nymph]

clomp clomp clomp

[scenic meteor]

I’m tired

[stuck birch]

Hi Little baby go to sleep 😂😂🫵

[celest coyote]

Yknow when u sprint in reach and u just go HEHH HEREHHH HEHHH

[bitter hollow]

i like reach a bit theres just a lot they retconned with the story and it bothered me tbh a lot of it didnt make sense

its not a bad game by any mean tho

bet forge by far

[keen zinc]

Give me a quick rundown of what some people hate about the reach story

[bitter hollow]

actually h5 had the best mp and custom games idk if thats blasphemy or not

[primal frigate]

Oh that sucks

[bitter hollow]

literally everything relating to cortana

[lilac lodge]

Can’t wait to play that horror game ILL. Shit has mad sauce

[naive pine]

Like vs the books?

[celest coyote]

Infinite forge is insane it’s such a shame the multiplayer launched empty and then was empty and then was awful

[bitter hollow]

in ce it seemed like cortana basically already knew chief but in reach she was a fresh ai and didnt know anyone and theres more i could go on for hours but everything with cortana is just crucified in reach

[eager token]

Heretic

[bitter hollow]

well i personally haven't read the books but i dont think i should have to read the books for a video game series

[celest coyote]

Well she was actually 3 years into service then

Maybe 4

But she was enhanced on reach with forerunner stuff if I’m not mistaken

[naive pine]

I don’t think so either but they are/were fun!

[eager token]

You have to remember she was made with a clone of halseys brain, of course she knew the chief

[outer lichen]

Cortana "knew" all the spartans, she had all their service dossiers. Not to mention she's sorta a digital clone of Halsey too.

[keen zinc]

wdym, you gotta read the sequel to halo infinite campaign 🤓 in a book

[rich delta]

More games are like that than you think.

[celest coyote]

Mf nuked a funeral

[keen canopy]

My Twitter timeline has been stuck on a gif of D.Va shaking ass since it went down. Thank you Elon.

[celest coyote]

Can’t tell if that thank u is genuine or not

[bitter hollow]

either way they just messed up a lot of things related to cortana and halsey in reach and it was pretty rough for me to replay after growing up tbh the story shouldve just left her out of it and it wouldve been an absolute banger

[storm horizon]

so twitter is just down

[rough sail]

Find the right way down through the maze, to the food, then find the exit. Push the exit button. If the food tastes awful, don't eat it, go back and try another way.

They want the same thing that you do, really, they want a path, just like you. You are in a maze in a maze, but which one counts? Your maze, their maze, my maze. Or are the mazes all the same, defined by the limits of their paths?

Existence is simple: find the food, push the button, hit the treadmill.

But sometimes it gets much harder. Sometimes the food makes you sick, or you can hear nearby feet racing you, urging you on. Sometimes the button only gets you landed right back in the beginning of the maze again, and the food won't satisfy.

There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.

Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze, make the maze from it's path, find the cell bars, cross over the bars, find a maze, make the maze from its path, eat the food, eat the path.

[storm horizon]

and it's not my wifi

[bitter hollow]

yeah i learned that with destiny

[keen canopy]

yeah

Bro has the worst takes

[storm horizon]

[naive pine]

No one should “have to” but I think books are a great way to give more to people who enjoy the lore

[bitter hollow]

as i was saying reach isn't bad at all but as the last bungie game for halo it was barely better than odst and odst was horrid

[bitter hollow]

lmao if i started talking about the 343 halos you wouldnt hear the end of it i hate them all story wise but infinite was aight id say

[bitter hollow]

no

[stuck bane]

incredible first message to read

[keen zinc]

only downhill from here ngl to you

[tulip sedge]

we'll get a cinematic launch trailer, right?

must be

[rich delta]

I think even dead space had a few portions that weren’t explained except in books

[stuck bane]

the only way it could after a message like that

[celest coyote]

Idk actually how they’d do that now that they backed off the whole hero thing

[bitter hollow]

btw i said earlier the halo cycle goes every 2 games that drop people start liking the game that dropped 2 games prior after it was hated on release

[stuck bane]

nothing will beat it

[edgy sage]

did they re-hire the freelancers for the new trailer?

[celest coyote]

Wdym

[bitter hollow]

bro i was 6 years old when reach dropped and even i remember the hate for it on release

[naive pine]

Just a 16 min cinematic trailer showing us how S’pht robes are manufactured.

[keen zinc]

why not? cinematics dont need established characters

[edgy sage]

i mean the ones who did the first trailer

[celest coyote]

Idk

[celest coyote]

Cinema

[naive pine]

Ohhhh it all makes sense

[eager token]

New Jake the alright breakdown video

[celest coyote]

I mean yeah but it might give the vibes of it if they have them voiced and everything again

[void gull]

Ughhh

[naive pine]

No hate at all bro, you just grew up with different expectations because of the gameplay you grew up with

[void gull]

I should've just stayed home today

[flint basin]

The previous cinematic still works if you think of both runners as being from the same consciousness, since they both get the same childhood photo

I honestly like that interpretation even more

[keen zinc]

well if anybody gets the wrong impression it's up to them if they find out what's going on lol

[outer lichen]

Hire Alberto Mielgo to make a 3 hour prequel movie showing how the shells and corps got to the planet and cover all the ARG stuff as the plot of the movie

[celest coyote]

Yes but from a marketing standpoint it might not be ideal to risk it

[wooden fjord]

@kindred vigil update he's having a chocolate milkshake now

[tulip sedge]

wait, you're saying the reveal cinematic trailer was... at the end, not lore accurate?

[bitter hollow]

yeah you probably right but i do highly prefer the no sprint halo games but i dont mind the way reach did it tbh it was really just the story i dont like thats all

[hybrid peak]

gmornin

[wooden fjord]

General Motors

[stuck bane]

ive been going thru halo campaigns for the first time

did not like CE

[hybrid peak]

real

[stuck bane]

oh thank god

[hybrid peak]

ce is kind of a mess

[stuck bane]

yeah

ITS SO REPETITIVE

[umbral iris]

Escape will make me dog

[hybrid peak]

FOR REAL

[wooden fjord]

What the hell

Why are children in here aaaaaaa

[keen zinc]

I just don't believe in giving in to the all-time lows of 2026 media literacy, like it's not their fault that alpha graphics were unfinished

[agile void]

MY DAC JUST UPGRADED TO LEVEL 4

[stuck bane]

GOD BLESS

[celest coyote]

It is I just mean they kinda pulled away from them being individual hero ppl, it still works in the new explanation but it could be weird to do a new cinematic

[outer lichen]

CE was good for what it was at the time but it doesn't hold up to modern standards. Aside from the AI, which is and will stay GOATed to this day.

[eager token]

It’s a game from 2001 made in 18 months, what do you expect

[bitter hollow]

i was actually 4 or 5 lol

[stuck bane]

about what i played

[wooden fjord]

So you're a liar

[naive pine]

I’d watch it twice

[hybrid peak]

honestly with the way people talk about it i expected it to be closer in quality to hl1

[flint basin]

Tuff

[bitter hollow]

2006

[tepid bane]

Marathon <t:1772128800:R>.

[celest coyote]

Yeah they couldn’t do everything they wanted to with time constraints sadly

[keen zinc]

Lies

[celest coyote]

Halo 1, 2, and 3 had wild developments actually

Well more so 1 and 2

[hybrid peak]

meow

[outer lichen]

And don't forget some of those 18 months were spent scrapping and completely redoing the multiplayer because they decided it wasn't fun like 2 months before launch, and they didn't have a functioning build of the whole game until about 6 weeks before launch day

[hybrid peak]

[tepid bane]

The second game's crunch was the worst.

[tulip sedge]

i dunno why it wouldn't work tbh. just because they talk in cinematic doesn't make it weird.

[stuck bane]

I get it. I think theres alot that has me excited to play 2 but 1 had alot of repeating hallways and balancing felt off

[celest coyote]

Not to mention the engine

[tepid bane]

It's too bad about the lighting change.

[eager token]

Don’t forget Microsoft’s bullshit too

[celest coyote]

Yeah I just got the restored lighting mod I’m gonna have to try it

[stuck bane]

which made it a chore Sincei played on legendary first time (bad mistake)

[tepid bane]

It's incredible.

[outer lichen]

CE was originally intended to have 24 missions

[celest coyote]

I’m sure it could, I just have concerns based on lore direction

[primal frigate]

Library

[eager token]

Even then, I enjoy CE. I replay it a lot because I like trying the speedrun tactics and messing around with skulls

[naive pine]

Repeating hallways? What are you talking about cough library cough

[stuck bane]

yes

fuck that place

forever

and ever

and ever

[keen zinc]

I was so desperate for a better gameplay experience after playing CE for my first halo games playthrough I went straight to Reach then did the rest in release order

[eager token]

Don’t forget 2 betrayals is just assault on the control room backwards

[primal frigate]

Now replay CE on legendary

[stuck bane]

I beat it on legendary

[primal frigate]

All skulls on

[stuck bane]

fuck that

[naive pine]

My wife, playing it for the first time last year, her reactions were so validating. Like yes honey go off the level design is maddening

[outer lichen]

Flying gold elites

[tepid bane]

Based.

[eager token]

To be fair, for the time, it looked really good

[stuck bane]

i feel so validated rn lol

[celest coyote]

Don’t forget 2 betrayals only had one betrayal

[outer lichen]

The very first game to ever consider using both joysticks for aiming.

[stuck bane]

i thought i was absolutely insane for finding the secind half of the campaign stupid

cuz my friends love CE

[tepid bane]

It's worth it for the nostalgia alone.

[primal frigate]

Halo 3 is perfection

[proven kernel]

G’morning.

[primal frigate]

[celest coyote]

Me, halo CE, jimmy neutron movie

Shrek

[keen zinc]

I dont think that was about the graphics

[primal frigate]

Also bloodgulch LAN

Then had a vista PC and played Halo 2

[naive pine]

The year that you were born, I was busy being taken to shrek in theatres like 4 times in a month because I wouldn’t shut up about it

[primal frigate]

Fuck Games for Windows Live btw

[celest coyote]

Hell yeah sounds like a great time

2001 really was the perfect year

So much great stuff

[primal frigate]

Lemme see what happened in 2000

[unborn badger]

if they curveball us with triage first I wouldn't mind

honestly an underrated shell design-wise

paramedic puff jacket goes hard along with all the massive hardware he carries

[outer lichen]

I'm betting thief will be the last one tbh

Gotta save their showgirl for last

[unborn badger]

real lmao

[primal frigate]

JAKE NEW VIDEO OUT

[open remnant]

Triage seems to be unviable in solo play because the majority of his kit is rendered useless

[granite fulcrum]

JAKE THE ALMIGHTY

[outer lichen]

Well... Yeah, it's a support shell. Supports never do well solo.

[wintry mantle]

From the people that brought you Dads of Destiny.

Introducing:
Dads of Marathon

Are you a parent? Is finding time for a gaming session full of parental obligations? We understand. Come join us.

As an already established Destiny clan, we’ve been building a site for Bungie’s newest game, Marathon

Please sign up at:

dadsofmarathon.com

[NOTICE: This is a very early development, all features are a work in progress]

[open remnant]

I wonder if you lean heavily into the EM damage side of his abilities if it makes him viable for soloplay

[outer lichen]

I mean if you mixed it with the needler battery smg and used his amp gauntlets it might go kinda crazy

His defib can also deal damage

[open remnant]

I hope that's the case, I don't like when classes are limited to specific game modes. I hope Triage can be used in both coop and soloplay

[old hollow]

Why would he be limited

There are few shells as is

[open remnant]

Because he can't heal/shield anyone in solo

[wheat pond]

Get rid of the goddamn stupid dufflebags, they look so fucking awful

[tired junco]

ohhh im marathoning it

[old hollow]

He can heal himself

[primal frigate]

cant u use the drone on yourself

[uneven field]

No the bags are cool

[old hollow]

I heard you can

[celest coyote]

Holy shit it’s krait

[green blade]

wOIMS

[outer lichen]

They really need to use in game backpack models instead of the jank ass duffles

[old hollow]

Why use any bag

The bodies don't vanish

[outer lichen]

The bodies have physics

[open remnant]

I don't see why they don't just have the duffle bag appear once the body has fully decomposed

[rough sail]

do some of y'all ever see peoples profile pictures and then just wonder "why would they make that shit their pfp"

[old hollow]

Whenever I see an ai PFP on any app

[uneven field]

The bodies weren't meant to be looted, so it will probably take some time get them to work the same.

[celest coyote]

Better not be referring to šimon

[wheat pond]

literally just swap it with the backpack model - problem fixed

[granite fulcrum]

so that loot can easily be seen the corpses might clip into or out the map or blend into somewhere that the player can't see easily OR this is merely a placeholder

[uneven field]

A simple swap is never so simple. Because Backpacks are items you can loot.

[wheat pond]

what? you don't need to change the functionality, just swap the model. It's not that deep

[uneven field]

Sure it is.

[tight spire]

we need a Roanoke-type map in the future

[old hollow]

Game is coming out in less than a month don't think there should be any placeholders

[uneven field]

The bags make it easy to parse that there is loot there.

[unborn badger]

^

[wheat pond]

How is it different from having just a smaller backpack model? 😄

[unborn badger]

also rigging a dead body's hitbox to register opening the loot menu's not always accurate

[tired junco]

they should hire dr sensei, his the authority on this

[granite fulcrum]

i said as a possibility my main point is the first answer

[uneven field]

How many of you here are software developers?

[wheat pond]

bro you can't tell me you don't think the dufflebags look like absolute dogshit

[uneven field]

They look great.

[wheat pond]

[candid talon]

lmao i just saw a leaked chinese playtest of marathon on youtube front page lol bros kinda sweaty widdit

[icy forum]

Good morning Marathon general chat what do you think runner shells taste like

[uneven field]

plastic

[candid talon]

yeah prob plastic of some sort lol

[open remnant]

They could have the dufflebags jump away from the dead body a short distance. Wouldn't look so scuffed that way and the bodies can decompose peacefully

[candid talon]

or carbon fiber

[primal frigate]

me why

[balmy birch]

bubble gum

[icy forum]

What about the goop inside them

Do you think it tastes like jello

[uneven field]

@primal frigate Becasuse people are acting like changing things in a software project, like a game, is the easiest thing.

[balmy birch]

sprite

[candid talon]

lmao yeah its super easy just vibe code it bruh

[granite fulcrum]

tastes like lean

[wheat pond]

one of the most common complaints since the first playtest was the dufflebags looking wack. Thankfully they somewhat listened and added persistent bodies but didn't adjust deathboxes which makes even less sense.

[inland flint]

They should get rid of the duffle bags entirely. Idk why they kept them after making the bodies permanent.

[primal frigate]

Backend stuff is fairly easy and fast but most other stuff you need to make new builds and test etc, then again everything needs to go through testing, QA etc

[uneven field]

Exactly

[primal frigate]

depends how they have their pipeline made

[candid talon]

@inland flint they prob made them so that if the body falls in a place you cant reach then you have the duffel for reviving and looting

[primal frigate]

but the bigger the company the slower the changes i imagine

[candid talon]

and easier censorship if a country says they cant have bodies shown

[primal frigate]

sort of like a normal distribution

[uneven field]

The Marathon team is probably smaller than than a huge company, but definitely hundreds of people.

[candid talon]

pros out weigh the cons with that one lmao

[frigid valley]

Worm

[uneven field]

It's a videogame.

[inland flint]

So I heard, but I feel like it adds unnecessary clutter

[uneven field]

I think it makes it incredibly easy to see that you can loot something, that there was a player death in a location, and that you should be careful.

[candid talon]

lmao i think it makes finding your look easy

loot*

[uneven field]

The interaction box of the bag is huge compared to the bodies. So much better.

[frigid valley]

if you've ever tried to find a Arc raiders body after a gun fight you know the bags will be fine XD

[unborn badger]

I don't think it's of any use to argue with people if they're just gonna keep milking old arguements to prove their point lol

deathboxes are entirely fine

[formal jasper]

uhm

[wheat pond]

Keep the bags but for god’s sakes make the model like 1/3 the size

[candid talon]

maybe a compromise is if the box is empty it disappears lol but it'd still make it hard for players to revive someone if their body has flown some random place

[formal jasper]

so is the ranked mode like darker and darker ranked?

[inland flint]

I have 250 hours in that game and I am well aware of that problem, however, marathon has the blue blood trail that you can follow to find a body. Having to work slightly harder isn't a bad thing.

[primal frigate]

leak supposes that you need to enter with a certain value of loot in your equipment and to gain rank you need to extract with more than your holotag sets. holotag meing an item you bring in aswell

if you die you lose rank

if you loot more than the score set by holotag you gain rank

[formal jasper]

ahhh i see

[primal frigate]

if you dont have enough you dont gain or lose rank

but its not confirmed

this is only from a leak

[formal jasper]

ahh okay thats good news then

thanks mr Simon

[primal frigate]

np

[inland flint]

Ranked is coming out during the season so they have time to change some aspects of it

[wide prawn]

it seema like a solid system to start with anyway

[primal frigate]

yeah id be happy with it

[ancient storm]

[karmic sable]

It was a step needed to progress the April ARG but thats all it served

[serene chasm]

Really wish if a dev can confirm if UESC bots activate on LOS or on player audio

[ancient storm]

boring asf

[bitter hollow]

i been drunk since 6pm and trials of osiris has me suffering my teammates are doo doo

[karmic sable]

And funnily enough the bot that created those crashed mid ARG so they just tweeted a “Master DAC” on Twitter

[karmic sable]

From publicly avaible info and April alpha, both. Remember on Tau Ceti IV we are trespassers, the UESC WILL attack when they see and hear us

[ancient storm]

sup arachne tomboy

[serene chasm]

If I still played I’d do carries with you ❤️‍🩹

[serene chasm]

Yooo

[karmic sable]

Im so close to deleting D2

[karmic sable]

One more week

[wooden fjord]

Hey can you delete this message please

[candid talon]

no

[bitter hollow]

omg i got a god roll

[karmic sable]

Im far into it where I kinda understand the stuff in it but I am not a master at it

[tight spire]

[tawdry olive]

My fren 😭/ how i have miss thee

[bitter hollow]

I JUST GOT TWO GR FROM A SINGLE LOSS OF TRIALS

[serene chasm]

Bungie blessed their least active players with the grandest loot this is a rule of the D2 culling games

[ancient storm]

[delicate berry]

im sure youll soon become a master of arms...

[bitter hollow]

culling games is aa crazy pull lmao

[sharp briar]

[grave smelt]

[lone wadi]

[tawdry olive]

Next to type is a cutie patootie

[tight spire]

yeah, that's why I said "top however many people"

[unborn badger]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[karmic sable]

Did you manually claim all challenges on the Journey tree for your Guardian rank?

[wooden fjord]

😔

[tawdry olive]

@unborn badger i wub u 😭

[karmic sable]

You need to open the Guardian Rank menu and manually claim all challenges

Then you can level up from the tree

[ancient storm]

yeah it is

[serene chasm]

guys I’m worried about marathon

What if I like it

[ancient storm]

security officer in indie cross ep3

[open remnant]

The bodies aren't permanent though. They decompose and eventually waste away into nothing but a puddle of blue goop

[serene chasm]

What if I happymaxx and playmog my other games

[bitter hollow]

destiny has some of the best lore of any video game ever but in terms of story telling nowadays its not too hot but there was a time where the storytelling was some of the best you could have in gaming

[serene chasm]

[sharp briar]

NuCaloric BLUE GOOP SHAKE

[bitter hollow]

im afraid marathon is going to put destiny 6 feet under whether its good or not

[wide prawn]

what is the runner shell blood and what happens if you chug jug it

[ancient storm]

marathon lore is better

[candid talon]

I just played destiny because it was like halo on playstation since there was no halo for playstation LOL then i played destiny 2 cause it was on pc and halo MCC wasnt on PC yet all we had was halo 1 and 2 lol so.. lol thats why i bought 2

[umbral iris]

Bungie started working on marathon like 4 years ago and people didn’t realize (except for me, i got excited when i heard the leaks/rumors) so yeah i think destiny 2 will be fine

[tepid bane]

Assorted ghastlies.

[lilac iris]

Choose all. complete mission. Get base upgrades to runner. Get access to high tier loot and cosmetics in shop

[grave smelt]

oh good heavens! my candle has extinguished leaving me encompassed in the darkness of the night! ghosts, specters, wraiths, ghouls, poltergeists, spirits, phantoms, shadows, creeps, nightcrawlers, lemures, shades, revenants, whispers, demons, lost souls, and other apparitions of the dead.

[lilac iris]

Resets each season

[tepid bane]

It's a good game. It'll do fine.

[lilac iris]

Season is 12 weeks (3 months)

[bitter hollow]

why am i carrying my team in trials dawg

[grave smelt]

they are just traders same as in Tarkov or Arc

[formal jasper]

i need a thief skin with big tshirt and baggy champion shorts with addias and long socks

[lilac iris]

Bro if you’re playing trials rn I pray for u

[balmy birch]

seasons are literal then

[bitter hollow]

im in hell

[lilac iris]

Pretty much

[fringe acorn]

10 DAYS RUNNERS

[candid talon]

When marathon was originally announced I was a bit iffy because its an extraction shooter lol but i'll see how it goes

[fringe acorn]

WE ARE SO CLOSE

[lilac iris]

Playing trials in d2 rn is like banging your head into a wall for fun. It kills the boredom at the cost of your brain

[tepid bane]

Soon.

[sacred moon]

when it was first announced i didnt even look at it because i was playing other games

[sullen geode]

Anyone have that mindblowing nucaloric gif?

I cant find it

[sacred moon]

then i just decided to check it out like 2 weeks ago and i was like holy shit

[brittle spear]

That leaked Chinese gameplay from 4 days ago. Looks sick

[balmy birch]

when it was announced i was extremely suffering because i only had a ps4 (without ps plus) and a shitty ass laptop that barely played ps3 era games, but i am massively hyped now that i have an actual gaming laptop

[bitter hollow]

yeah chat trials is fucked im glad im not streaming my struggles rn

i just carried my team so bad

i had 20 kills and they both had 2

[umbral iris]

Wait an hour or two for ppl on the west coast to wake up, should find better matches

[outer lichen]

Oh so you and your two clones are the guy I’m forced to fight whenever I wanna try trials

[bitter hollow]

yes ofc

[bitter hollow]

yeah nah invis hunter seems to be the method rn

[outer lichen]

Invis Hunter has been 80% of crucible since it came out

[bitter hollow]

this is my first time playing trials since like season 16 and im doing better than my teammates

[umbral iris]

“Invis is like hacking in an extraction shooter dont you think” or something like that

[bitter hollow]

i swear my team is ai generated

time to pray again

[outer lichen]

Durandal is meme-ing on you

[bitter hollow]

im deadass just using tether with the boots from renegades and a chap and nation of beasts

and i am carrying my teammates so bad

im using a forsaken loadout rn

[outer lichen]

I miss using my god roll chroma rush

[stark maple]

[bitter hollow]

everyone take a shot

[sharp briar]

how do we know it's recon's cinematic that is dropping?

[karmic sable]

yeah

[umbral iris]

I hope marathon replaces every other game because I’m running out of space on my xbox but at the same time i wanna keep playing destiny 2 its like one of my top 4 favorite games of all time

[karmic sable]

Because they have been on track about the shell lineup they showed on Runner Insights video

Destroyer-Assassin-Recon-Vandal-Thief-Triage-Rook

[sharp briar]

🤔

[pure vine]

I’m so ready for the game to drop

[karmic sable]

[mortal drum]

Hey everyone what is the contracts all about and how do I do them

[lilac lodge]

Let me know if you want my videos from the tech tests. I got an hour+ of footage

[karmic sable]

buddy we are on gen chat

[mortal drum]

I know I’m new to this

[lilac lodge]

If we were in the same test it’s not NDA breaking

[mortal drum]

Don’t know where I would ask

[lilac lodge]

I’ll just post it on the media tab for the test

[karmic sable]

Let me find the codes for those contracts

They were small ARG steps

[mortal drum]

Please help me someone

[karmic sable]

so i gotta look around a few servers

[pallid lynx]

they're all little scavenger hunts, you're looking for a uuid v4 formatted string of character to input with /contract

[bitter hollow]

alright boys and girls got my first trials win whoever said the shi about the west coast was right

[pallid lynx]

just use the hints provided, start with "good things come to those who wait" and go down from there

[eager forum]

Hello

[karmic sable]

I found for some of them. I will DM them to you so i dont get filtered as spam and get muted on the server

Automod is a bit sensitive

Understatement of the year

[icy dagger]

Happy Chinese new year~

[final monolith]

[stone grail]

I thought it was an interactive thing and clicked on the enveloppe thinking it would do something

[final monolith]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[bronze oasis]

Does anyone have any info on performance and specs for marathon? Im mostly wondering compared to arc raiders tbh because i think it should be able to run better?

[umbral iris]

Yeah i think its most likely gonna be better than arc because arc has more realistic graphics, foliage, and big ass robots

[bronze oasis]

Yea

Im wondering if frame gen will be good in it

Because arc is first game i played that actually works good with frame gen and has 0 input delay

[karmic sable]

Publicly i can only answer with the April Alpha stuff, the game ran fine

like it was buttery smooth

[bronze oasis]

But it also looked ass

[karmic sable]

It is made with Bungie's inhouse engine, Tiger

[karmic sable]

true, but many optimizations has been done

[bronze oasis]

I dont play any bungie games so idk if its good sry 🙂

[balmy birch]

ive read that it integrates ue5?

[brittle spear]

Hype hype hype

[karmic sable]

no

Bungie has always used their own engine

[real jolt]

Will we be able to build a Clan in the game like in The Finals? That would be dope. I’m going to try and figure out a way to host tournament events on an extraction game and bring a DOM of competitive play , so I’m trying to get a little bit of information from the developers if someone came point me in a good direction ?

[balmy birch]

that comment was saying bullshit OKKKK

[karmic sable]

I dont think a Clan system is planned on release however dont quote me on it because even as a tester there are alot of shit i dont know

[real jolt]

Thank you for the reply

[brittle spear]

If you guys want to scratch an itch.. watch the video on YouTube of ‘’Marathon leaked chinese gameplay’

[fathom heart]

would be cool to have some corporation war for areas or smt like that like live map for all players

[brittle spear]

So good

[karmic sable]

The dev team is open to adding stuff according to feedback

[pallid lynx]

i'm watching on billibilli to help support my chinese friends

[nimble canyon]

EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE

NO UE5 SLOP HERE

[balmy birch]

😭😭

[primal frigate]

Cortisol spike

[real jolt]

Is this game using a specific engine ? Like UT engine ? Or are they using an engine that eas developed for halo or destiny ?

[primal frigate]

Bruh

[karmic sable]

considering that we, the runners, do not represent the corporations i dont think that would be a thing

[balmy birch]

i might be the only person ever that enjoys it because it depends solely on how well optimized it is

[karmic sable]

Tiger Engine, Bungie's own game engine

[tight spire]

there are supposedly „Runner Cults”

[real jolt]

Perfect

[tight spire]

whatever that means

[karmic sable]

an updated version compared to Destiny 2's Tiger engine btw

[real jolt]

Awesome

[nimble canyon]

Orignally was what powered the Halo series, formely known as BLAM

[karmic sable]

yeah

Tiger is an updated version of BLAM

[nimble canyon]

BLAM is such a catchy name for an engine.

lmao

[fathom heart]

yeah I know, but what if we can sign a temporary contract for one of corporation to take a part during the war

[real jolt]

So it’s going to feel very polished from the start

[nimble canyon]

Even the tests felt polished.

[karmic sable]

I agree it would be VERY cool as a post release event, but we have to wait and see where they take the story

[fathom heart]

thats true bro

[mint pivot]

another day closer to marathon
amen

[karmic sable]

even April Alpha which lacked on graphics for exterior spaces was polished as hell

[real jolt]

I’m going to be very competitive as well as my brother who will be streaming with me. We are going to bring our professional game experiences to this game and promoting to the very serious gamers (in the competitive world) so I hope the game will be good for this. The ranking system and focus on PVP brought our interest

[balmy birch]

i hope they do something like ow's talon v overwatch event rn

[delicate berry]

didnt they disable all rewards because of a bug or something

[balmy birch]

yeah but they're caching them

or so they said

[rough sail]

hi all

[balmy birch]

lena here

[delicate berry]

i own a copy of sonic 06

but i dont want to be known as the girl who owns a copy of sonic 06

[eager token]

Lmao

[halcyon condor]

Had a maladaptive daydream thinking about having my own game engine and then I peek into this chat and we're talking about game engines

I'm so chopped, I have a studio and engine name already and I don't know dick from tit about game design

🚬

[magic rose]

What’s objectively the best energy drink brand?

[eager forum]

Will we be able to play rat in marathon?

[karmic sable]

yes

You can play as a rat

[eager forum]

Ok perfect

[fathom heart]

all of them sucks as per healthiness, but I like white monster even if its corny and cliche already

[karmic sable]

playing as a rat, while being hated, is a valid style of gameplay on basically every extraction shooter

[hasty umbra]

And recon we still kill you for it.

[eager forum]

Yeah I do not like the hating part but oh well

[halcyon condor]

Cocaine. Not kidding, it's literally an energy drink called cocaine

[hasty umbra]

(I got timed out on my main for using a common word referring to when something beats another thing but is also the name of a rather shitty president.)

[magic rose]

I thought they weren’t bad for you health wise if you aren’t drinking one every day also yeah the white one isn’t bad

[halcyon condor]

Bravo

[karmic sable]

Marathon provides the tools for both becoming a rat and finding the said rats

[meager glacier]

the hate rats get is so silly.

rats are just a reason to be more careful

[magic rose]

I did not know that

[hasty umbra]

I mean, building a game engine in house once it's done will always t rump one off the shelf.

[fossil dagger]

Anybody got me on where to look to figure out all I need to know? And should I preorder now/this friday

[hasty umbra]

that's what I tried to say.

[dim pike]

I could go for a nice cold cocaine rn

[hasty umbra]

Stupid automod

[inner vine]

preorder after the free event

[eager forum]

I am one it is not funny to be lonely without friend

[inner vine]

see if you even like it

[delicate berry]

friend me please i would like to talk 😄

[karmic sable]

I get both parts of the argument. on one hand you are punished for not paying attention but on the other end dying to a rat that hasnt moved for 39 minutes on a corner next to an extract when there is only 1 minute left to extract would make me pretty mad

[fossil dagger]

Oh on the 26th?

[hasty umbra]

Recon will make your rat life harder, much harder.

[fathom heart]

I don't know about one per day, I think it's too much, maybe one per week is a good rate. But I wouldnt do them regularly anyways, as they are very addictive

[hasty umbra]

and it's deserved

[eager forum]

After beating people by ratting usually they do not want to become friend 😔

[sharp briar]

pre-order at 11:59 PM Local March 4th

[hasty umbra]

Extraction campers deserve death. c:

[hasty umbra]

GEE, YA THINK?

[meager glacier]

gotta do what u gotta do ! and if it's fun for u that is rad

[sacred narwhal]

Marathon

[fossil dagger]

I would miss that

When is the free event?

[dim pike]

Rats will be hoarding signal jammers and it will piss recons off when they ping and get killed by someone who dodged the ping. Cant wait

[sharp briar]

Feb 26th to March 2nd

[fossil dagger]

Thank you

[karmic sable]

there will be a server slam that is free for everyone between 26th and 2nd, there will be rewards for participating on server slam for full game.

[hasty umbra]

For every play there's a counterplay. Just remember.

[fossil dagger]

Oooh for sure
