UESC in season 2? Sounds awesome!

[indigo marsh]

Yeah, Rook is a lower-risk version of solo runner.

[lone wadi]

Will out inventory be limited? I know our bag space is limited but what about our actual nventory?

[muted urchin]

I think philosophy would be an interesting answer for what they would preserve. Who in the world chooses music

[stone condor]

Yes

Upgradable tho

[kind snow]

Y’all gonna adopt rooks or turn them into blue sludge on sight?

[atomic ocean]

my DAC is broken the img is not loading

[indigo marsh]

You'll be able to choose whether or not to fight UESC forces, and you risk nothing in terms of infil.

[glossy locust]

I think the UESC are some of the NPCs you encounter in the game.

[boreal moth]

is server slam progress wiped on launch?

[weak oyster]

Music is a huge part of culture

[atomic ocean]

can I get another one?

[stone condor]

Yes

[ornate edge]

literaly announced in their vidoc that there will be solo Queu with other solo player, dont know why people are telling you otherwise

[solid yew]

sorry worms, i got profiled as MIDA

[lone wadi]

You know the capacity amount?

[indigo marsh]

Technically yes, but you'll be compensated based on runner level.

[stone condor]

#leaderboard and hit dac

[indigo marsh]

Runner Levels 10 and 30 are your milestones.

[stone condor]

No

[boreal moth]

do we know what the 'compensation' is?

[muted urchin]

I guess so. But scientific principles or legal systems would be more telling and useful imo

[weak oyster]

I think cosmetics on level 30

[glossy locust]

Remember Remember the 5th of Marchvember.

[flint falcon]

One map is all I need friend

[kind snow]

You’ll get some bundles of cores, implants, etc on the full release if you reach 30

There are also cosmetic rewards

[glossy locust]

But we get 2! c-:

[indigo marsh]

First Mission: Standard Arrival Cache
Level 10 in Beta: Enhanced Arrival Cache
Level 30 in Beta: Deluxe Arrival Cache

[weak oyster]

Yeah but once we're gone I don't think our legal principles will matter much, music can summarize entire cultures and movements

[indigo marsh]

Also cosmetic rewards

[tame bloom]

Saw that, but then they hadn't mentioned the rook yet, or i'm tripping

[indigo marsh]

But no specific cosmetics have been shown yet.

[muted urchin]

The emblem and banner are given just from doing the intro mission. The rest are cores weapons and implants. You can see the exact rewards for each level in the news tab

[weak oyster]

Ew gross where'd thief go

[ornate edge]

rook is a seperate thing like scav from tarkov

[digital light]

I ate her

Lookin too scrumptious

Anywho

[gleaming bough]

My shells...

[glossy locust]

Marathon and Prince Of Persia 2026 (if it releases as planned) will be my games for all of 2026 basically alongside Halo Infinite unless GTA 6 comes out this Fall.

What a year for gaming! 🌟

[gilded olive]

So envious...

[ornate edge]

didint PoP already been canceled?

[astral turtle]

halo infinite comeback?

[muted urchin]

That’s true. For that, fiction may serve a better purpose though if we aren’t looking at utility

[digital light]

Why does everyone remember my thief pfp

I thought I could be slick w it

[weak oyster]

True, either fiction or music would be my picks

[muted urchin]

Artistic hooman

[spring goblet]

they finally released the perimeter gameplay shud have been released weeks ago to adversitse the actual gameplay better late then never

[solid yew]

pop is rip

[glossy locust]

A. No, PoP is not cancelled and I'm still waiting on the Spring 2026 release date as promised or implied by Ubisoft.

B. Halo Infinite never died and is still the one of the best shooters on the market.

[steel ether]

it will now have 2k players

[solid yew]

oh

[bronze osprey]

Hi guys I have been so busy this last week I havent been able to solve the new contracts. Is there anywhere I can find help with these?

[solid yew]

A. No, PoP is not cancelled and I'm still waiting on the Spring 2026 release date as promised or implied by Ubisoft.

B. Halo Infijite never died and is still the one of the best shooters on the market.

[glossy locust]

Lol I corrected.

[digital light]

BRANDON

[kind snow]

It’s doing high guard numbers on steam rn

[weak oyster]

Because you had it so long and you're fairly active

I don’t wanna hear it I’ve been waiting for State of Decay 3 for 7 years now (post trailer)😭😭

HAIL BUNGIE

& my gf is hyped for inzoi or whatever

[digital light]

Wsgggg, what've you been up to?

[dim pike]

There is a solo mode

[indigo marsh]

Music is a universal language, and I argue that it's the sole unmistakable metric of intersocietal cross-interaction.

[muted urchin]

Since yall are very helpful what does this one even mean:

“The moment just before recognition:
[holds every possible identity simultaneously], [is when faces are most honestly themselves]”

[agile mason]

uhhhhh

might have had too much to drink last night

[dim pike]

What’s this from

[long osprey]

before recognizing a person. does the moment before you realize who they are hold possibility or truth

[molten flax]

pfhoon we lost a 5v6 …

[molten flax]

naurrrr

[glossy locust]

Marathon hate is mostly due to people hating on the games aesthetic and thematic style which so many people actually love.

Concord was a generic, Overwatch rip-off, one among billions, but Marathon is something else entirely.

[solid yew]

maqam & minor/major systems don't mesh at all

[spring goblet]

hopefully theres a 140 handcanon equivalent

[astral turtle]

brandino a jolly good fellow oh

[kind snow]

Preaching to the choir in here

[molten flax]

Im so close to emissary

[agile mason]

absolutely insane

[muted urchin]

But if I had to choose what media to consume to learn about an ancient civilization I think fiction would be best. You can learn the language, and actual things about the culture. Not just how the music might feel to you, which by the way is very subjective based on your own culture.

Kind of like a boomer hating new music etc

[agile mason]

yoooo we gonna be emissary buddies

[long osprey]

it's a lot easier to feel out the questions than it is to interpret them literally

[molten flax]

im gonna hit plat equivalent faster than scoob

[indigo marsh]

Do you think that the moment before meeting someone is when they are most honest, or when they are the least honest?

[lucid pine]

how do u get ur dac again?

[muted urchin]

Okay I guess that makes sense

[solid yew]

leaderboard channel

[lucid pine]

thank you goat

[dim pike]

From what I’ve seen it’s mostly because of “bungie as a company”, sunsetting, art theft etc. which I think is all blown out of proportion. People really want destiny to be 500 gigs and then complain that new people won’t join the game

[muted urchin]

Just seems vague but I guess that is the point.

They should just make it a political compass test at this point 😂

[indigo marsh]

Technically speaking, this is a political compass test.

[glossy locust]

Destiny is so 2019.

[astral turtle]

art theft thing gets blown out of proportion any place that the game is discussed (outside of here)

especially since it’s been past resolved

[agile mason]

@scenic meteor

[muted urchin]

How do

[indigo marsh]

It's just that the political compass points to Marathon factions now lol

[muted urchin]

So*

Oh true I guess

[indigo marsh]

All the factions have their own operatives and beliefs.

[long osprey]

it's a question of personal philosophy, not objectivity

[magic rose]

Will ranked be open day 1

[astral turtle]

id honestly hope not

[dim pike]

Yeah if they really “stole a whole artstyle” then why does the game have the same exact aesthetic as it did before they removed the stolen art

[kind snow]

Most people don’t even tune into this stuff, only people that hate/enjoy Bungie projects really even know or care abt it

[astral turtle]

exactly, from my understanding it was a couple assets that got lumped in from a ex dev who was let go of

[glossy locust]

If Helldiver 2 had a first person mode, Destiny servers likely would have been shutdown about 1.5 years ago.

[muted urchin]

Okay I got suckamagoochi

[astral turtle]

granted if it hadn’t been resolved & the artist paid out my tune would be different, but they were??

[wooden acorn]

I got UESC 😢

[forest ginkgo]

I got Midas in the test 💔

[glossy locust]

You got a faction that isn't even in the game lol.

[kind snow]

Most of the random people I meet and talk to only even have a loose understanding of what marathon is let alone anything abt the studio making it

[astral turtle]

midas on top

[weak oyster]

You want to trade I got Arachne

[forest ginkgo]

Mpreg on top

[forest ginkgo]

Nah not really tho

[kind snow]

Though it seems general perception is positive in my anecdotal experience

[muted urchin]

I mean, to be fair I’m not sure they are even bad guys. They are the government and the factions are going where they shouldn’t

[reef hollow]

me too, beans

[astral turtle]

same here outside of my destiny goober squad that honestly all seem to be excited for this game

[icy wave]

do you guys think they're gonna do to vandal what they did to hunter where they overvalue the innate movement so much that in exchange vandal has to work twice as hard to get value out of the buildcrafting as the rest of the shells

[orchid plover]

I saw a guy in the Arachne short on Tiktok literally asking if these visuals were also stolen. Like are we serious ?

[restive grove]

can you still get a DAC idk where mine went and the bot idnt showing it

[delicate berry]

Yes

[astral turtle]

I didnt play much destiny myself though^^

[wooden acorn]

Yeah but they aren’t that cool though 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[topaz raven]

Is there going to be a trash talk wheel on Quick Comms too?

[weak oyster]

They literally stole a moon

[muted urchin]

Siri define chud

[orchid plover]

Stealing an entire moon wasn’t bad enough ?

[muted urchin]

They purchased it and turned it into an interstellar ship.

Who needs a moon anyway

[astral turtle]

TONIGHT! WE STEAL DA MOON!

[ornate edge]

you realize its in the game right?

[glossy locust]

It's not a playable faction, right?

[copper helm]

its also amazing since if you spawn with free kits you will always spawn in late. something arc raiders shouldve done at launch, but marathon will have on release

[long osprey]

they're covering up the disappearance of an entire colony, i don't think they're good guys 😭 😭 😭

[wooden acorn]

Dang I’m so sorry 😢

[ornate edge]

its the faction you fight in game

[weak oyster]

If the government forces you out of your house and hands you five bucks was that theft

[kind snow]

I played destiny 2 religiously at one point until edge of fate. Hate the state of the game and am sad it’s not something I enjoy anymore. But even I’m hyped as hell for marathon

[glossy locust]

People comparing this game to Arc Raiders are sorely mistaken tbh.

[ornate edge]

non of the faction are "playable"

[astral turtle]

I can’t upload gru for some reason damnit

[sly lotus]

WE WANT MARATHON

[weak oyster]

Edge of fate was cheeks

[sly lotus]

🙂

[forest ginkgo]

Marathon tomorrow

[astral turtle]

I think that’s more where my friends are at/coming from

[forest ginkgo]

🗣️

[indigo marsh]

standing army ahh faction

[kindred orbit]

marathon today?

[muted urchin]

Many governments have classified information when they are collecting sensitive data.

[queen dust]

whats a dac even do

[vagrant raft]

Any official word on wipes yet. Nothing recent confirmed.

[kindred orbit]

i noped out in echoes that story was ass

[muted urchin]

Were they living on the moon?

[mental belfry]

My favorite character is that MIDA guy he looks pretty cool🫃

[barren solstice]

6 DAYSSS 🥹🥹🥹🥳🥳🥳

[astral turtle]

weren’t we guessing 3 month long?

[long osprey]

they were able to purchase it because the military strength of earth is far greater than mars, so if mars said no, earth could've simply forced them

[weak oyster]

Decent amount of resources for the mars population

[indigo marsh]

_Gantry's pretty cool.

[forest ginkgo]

Hope they bring a Midas mpreg skin

[gaunt fractal]

3 month cycle

[kindred orbit]

is gantry an ai or a guy?

[orchid plover]

An entire planet is starving choose: 1. buy an entire moon, hollow it, turn it into a ship and set it on a (failed) 300 years expedition 2. Feed the starving planet.

[golden viper]

F*ck live service games

[glossy locust]

Arc Raiders is third person with a more realistic artstyle, while Marathon is first person with a more hyper-realistic, futuristic style. They're pretty different.

[weak oyster]

Ai

[spring goblet]

how are at tau ceti is there a second ship or are we just transmitted form earth

from

[kindred orbit]

theres the uesc equanimity but idk if we are on that

[astral turtle]

Exactly why both should flourish together

[orchid plover]

We came on a second ship!

[long osprey]

it's less about mars using the moon and more about the UESC wasting resources to convert Deimos into the Marathon to colonize other planets while Mars is starving

[weak oyster]

Except charter who might be related to the pfhor

[glossy locust]

Marathon is either hyper-realistic in some ways, or fantasy-futuristic.

[astral turtle]

reminds my goober ass of halo 3 vs cod in its prime

[kindred orbit]

marathon should have been a CRIST

[gaunt fractal]

Dawg you’re in the deadlock cord

[wooden acorn]

Marathon is gonna be so peak fr fr

[kind snow]

The will marathon kill arc raiders or arc raiders is a problem for marathon narratives are so silly

[forest ginkgo]

Charter mentioned

[sly salmon]

I'm bored should I play WoW? I think I have enough gold in my inventory for a WoW token.

[flint falcon]

Almost every scifi got it this way: humanity becomes multi-planetary -> colonies revolt

[weak oyster]

My money is on it's a fake ai

[golden viper]

Marathon looks too shoot on sight sweaty for me as an Arc Raiders player

[astral turtle]

granted to expect that level of success is idiotic obviously, & I’ll remain optimistic

[weak oyster]

Just bring a team

[muted urchin]

So are you people for or against the exploration of the universe? Building the marathon brought prosperity and the ability to travel to other stars

What do they do, wait a few hundred years until mars stabilizes? They were able to purchase it. Maybe leveraged helped but that wasn’t documented

[unkempt ridge]

Hello, chat, what do you think about the fact that many people compare the game to Concord and Highguard, which died at the start, and that Marathon will suffer the same fate?🤔

[astral turtle]

I’m sure they’ll have less pvp eventually, especially with the raid elements & puzzles that will require tense coordination

[flint falcon]

Nope, all data shows it will not

[astral turtle]

or more or less, more pve, incentiving less pvp

[icy wave]

lol

[muted urchin]

It didn’t waste resources, it provided jobs to the people. If they spend 10 trillion space dollars to make the thing it isn’t burned. It is passed into the hands of Martian people

[ornate edge]

concord and hightguard didnt top steam sell when anounced

[astral turtle]

foolish ngl

[rancid vortex]

what?

[orchid plover]

UESC Defenders in chat we’re cooked

[rancid vortex]

ong like tf

[glossy locust]

Arc Raiders and Marathon aren't even directly competing really.

Marathon competes more with Tarkov than it does Arc Raiders I'd say, though Marathon may be more fast paced like Arc Raiders, though Tarkov can be fast too.

[wary epoch]

reagancore

[astral turtle]

isn’t marathon still a top 50 best seller on steam rn? without even being actually out?

[golden viper]

It’s not as fun, it’s fun to be in a scenario where your unsure if someone is friendly or not. That ambiguity creates a ton of memorable moments in Arc

If Marathon is just gonna be shoot on sight across the board, I have no interest

[spring goblet]

also its bungie its guaranteed atleast 100k at launch too high profile

[gaunt fractal]

People who say this don’t understand how abysmally dogshit a game has to be to fumble like concord did

[unkempt ridge]

I pre-ordered the game because I like everything I see, but many people keep hating the game and comparing it to recent games that died right away...

[long osprey]

dawg just used the "there were civilians on the death star" excuse, there's no convincing those who do not wish to be convinced

[orchid plover]

I thought we all agreed that the UESC sucked

[kind snow]

It’s just talk left over from the alpha playtests the game is night and day different now

[astral turtle]

we got 300,000 in here im hoping for atleast 250k

[vagrant raft]

People saying its a 3 month wipe but what do we keep and lose for wipe. I rather 6 months minimal.

[brazen hound]

[gaunt fractal]

Check their twitter profiles they’re all nazis C:

[stark glacier]

Hey yall, im trying to use the dac for the ARG tauceti.world, does anyone know how it works? i got the dac image from the bot, but when i try to upload it to the website it says invalid

[weak oyster]

I've played a couple tests and it's a mixed bag

[gusty lion]

welcome... to marathon

[muted urchin]

If NASA make big rocket for 10 billion, and big rocket crash into moon, is 10 billion dollars burnt?

Seems quite a simple concept to me. They fed many families for many years

[spring goblet]

yeah i wouldnt be surpised the marketing turn around the past month has been huge ive seen the biggest instagram chud trolls even turing around for it

[glossy locust]

Marathon also looks like an easy game to run despite its amazing visuals and colour palette.

[astral turtle]

6 months will become too stagnant & long, look at arcs spot it’s in rn with no required wipes

[wooden acorn]

This discord has like 300k members so far and the fact that I’ve seen so many gifs, memes, art, and cosplay being created of Marathon tells me the game is going to be just fine.

[golden viper]

It looks super sweaty, I guess we’ll see

[rancid vortex]

brother what was the point of the rocket in the first place? intent and what the project was built for matters to deem any funds a waste?

[flint falcon]

1. Art makes it really unique 2) Actually it has 3 previous Marathon games, so there is foundation to build on, and based on the lore drops so far, they did.

Tbh. I'm not much of an extraction player, but I stay fole the lore and to be a rook

[vagrant raft]

The longest popular extraction tark does 6 months. The logic is flawed. 6 months is good.

[astral turtle]

if I can convince my boy who only plays 2k and supermega baseball to play this we’ll have won

[spring goblet]

they shuid have been releasing more full gameplay trailers a month ago like this latest release it think that did some damage but aT least its here now

[muted urchin]

So again, you are against stellar exploration? Is this not a noble goal?

[kindred socket]

Yea

[steel glacier]

MIDA

[wooden acorn]

We believe in you

[astral turtle]

tarc is also hyper realism, while this seems to have more creative features

[flint falcon]

Depends on the data it can send back. If none, they can still learn from the issues.

[unkempt ridge]

ahhhhh maybe buddy I really hope the game goes off because I want ARC Raiders to have a worthy competitor that has everything that ARC Raiders doesn't have

[long osprey]

even so, 10 billion dollars? for a rocket? you're only providing jobs to so many people when you could be constructing systems for dealing with far more pressing social and economic inequity

[sage escarp]

The DAC that the discord bot sent me no longer loads.

How do I get my DAC back?

[spring goblet]

all of my friends are surprisingly on board for it and theyre gaming casuals at best

the marketing this past month has been massive

[vast quiver]

are their murchandise n stuff to wear nd vibe ?

[chilly monolith]

Yeah, it looks semi-easy to run but definently a game that could look gorgeous on a great pc.

[orchid plover]

I don’t see where’s the debate ? Mars is starving you don’t spend 100 trillions on a ship ?

[astral turtle]

same here, just gotta give em a little nudge

[muted urchin]

Why not exploration for the hell of it? Man people died just to go see North Pole which is nothing but ice and water.

It’s a human thing to aspire to

[rancid vortex]

nah elon said we goin to mars so we gotta do that ofc gotta listen to big boss man

[primal frigate]

even that gets stale 3+ months in, and its only that long because the average player will never finish all the quests within 3 months

[kind snow]

I don’t think that marathon will do arc raiders numbers cause it def seems more niche but I believe it’ll have a strong core audience. Honestly I could see it having less players and still making more money lmao

[unkempt ridge]

I agree with you buddy, but many people don't have enough facts.

[primal frigate]

literally what are these arguments

[forest ginkgo]

I got at least two of my friends to join me and to try out the server slam 🙏

[long osprey]

"exploration for funsies" is not effective political policy my guy

[rancid vortex]

lmao

[steel glacier]

That faction profiler was very interesting.

[orchid plover]

Words

[muted urchin]

It’s quite literally how the US was founded

[vast flame]

faction profiler?

[spring goblet]

the game just looks ridiclously polished even by default of it being the first console fps extraction will send it to the stratosphere i think

[rancid vortex]

https://tauceti.world/profiling, basically a buzzfeed quiz

[vast quiver]

gta 7 is what numbers will raise up for if it suddenly suprisingly appear 😆

[long osprey]

the founding of the united states was not an inherently positive event, it was simply something that happened

[primal frigate]

arc is on consoles

[long osprey]

who it was good for depends on the narrator

[primal frigate]

oh fps

[vast flame]

exploration is "for potential return" for those who stay at home

"for funsies" is for the wealthy people on the expedition who die last

[primal frigate]

fair

[spring goblet]

also i thinkj people have been looking to fill the void of halo nothing has really been like halo gameplay since they pivoted destiny away from gunplay towards abilities 5 years ago

[flint falcon]

Well it was positibe for them at that time to be exact

[spring goblet]

fps

[glossy locust]

Halo Infinite is similar, easy to run generally but can look pretty good maxed out. A key to a successful online game is a lot of people being able to run it at about 60fps on atleast low settings.

[muted urchin]

This literally applies to anything.

[vagrant raft]

Realism or arcade aspects have nothing ti do with wipes. Marathon has a massive build crafting system and tons of variety unlike other in the genre. A 3 month wipe kills the whole purpose of having classes and unique build types. Barely unlocking factions or getting the cores or whatever is a bad look imo. People limited minds cannot see this game isnt close to any others.

[primal frigate]

yeah I corrected myself sorry

[unkempt ridge]

Colleagues, please rate the profile I created for the game. How perfect is it?

[primal frigate]

brother you havent even played the game

you actively want the game to become stagnant with content

[spring goblet]

i think console gamers are looking for the next fps theyre kinda stuck with total slop at the moment

[orchid plover]

Non argument.

[vast flame]

where do I get my DAC?

[primal frigate]

yeah pretty much

[ornate edge]

how can you say that when there is literaly no wipe on tarkov at the moment

[flint falcon]

#leaderboard

[wooden acorn]

It’s peak

[glossy locust]

Many people will argue for 30fps, and that is understandable in a single player game, especially a cinematic one, but it's just not enough for competitive multiplayer generally, though skill is likely still the most relevant factor generally unless you're getting 5fps and thus unplayable basically. c-:

[long osprey]

what i'm saying is that "exploration" is not a solution to class disparity, national starvation, or poverty. "building a big rocket" only feeds those qualified to work on the big rocket

[astral turtle]

I don’t think it will take that long is the thing, first month should be exploring your faction & the upgrades experimenting with shells & so on, in the same time learning crafting, by month two/three you should probably be gearing up for end game in my eyes

[primal frigate]

this

[silent fiber]

and goodbye!

[kind snow]

You can’t have strong build crafting without wipes, that’s exactly why all the high tier gear in arc is so similar to low tier

[broken pond]

didnt even tryyyy

[unkempt ridge]

damn, I don't even know what else I can improve on it

[primal frigate]

also bro wants 6 months of work to be wiped instead of 3 😭

[civic yacht]

What is Sekgen, is that a faction u can join in the game

[primal frigate]

I want content less often

[muted urchin]

Saying it’s good for some and bad for others is silly. That’s true for every choice.

If we apply this to real life, I don’t think we should shut down space exploration because some people in some countries are starving.

If people are willing to pay and work on these projects for the sake of human development I think it’s totally fine

[fiery ocean]

bro has more connected accounts than i have accounts 🔥

[fiery ocean]

yessir

[spring goblet]

say what u will abt bungie and their handling of destiny but theres no denying they got motion o think marathon is gonna pop off especially if peanut is on board

[vast quiver]

i see audience waiting for new cyberpunk era vibe and this game goin for that...most targeted will stick to game as much non-gamers try out while others random big audience will be triggered by some clips if game cooked self nicely.

[primal frigate]

the population of the game would die out so fast with 6 month wipes

[muted urchin]

The whole point of this game is we dont know whats going on. The usec could easily be trying to contain something that is bad

[wooden acorn]

Yes

[primal frigate]

thank god bro isnt making the game 🙏

[civic yacht]

Oh is it sekaguchi, just shortened down

[sacred agate]

[vagrant raft]

Like you said the average player wont finish all the faction quest plus wont get to test build crafting in a 3 month wipe. Bad move if thats the decision. 6 or more is best to give in depth builds and factions. If not its a pointless effort for most players.

Note I will play like 10 hours a day at launch so ill get all things done asap. Im speaking for 90% of casual players.

[kind snow]

The economy would inflate forever until everyone has unlimited copies of the best stuff and now it’s just pvp with extra steps. Might as well be any other pvp game at that point

[unkempt ridge]

ahaaha I've hidden a number of them, buddy)

[primal frigate]

i was talking about tarkov bruh

[muted urchin]

I like 3 month wipes, great idea.

[primal frigate]

if we have 6 month long wipes the game is dead season 1

[astral turtle]

as long as I have fun I don’t care too much, I’ve wasted time on rust & was accustom with monthly wipes, completely different games but I see the concepts somewhat similarly

[primal frigate]

idk how you dont understand

[long osprey]

the difference is that we're talking about an imperialist foreign government that has complete and total control over the policy of Mars, a sovereign nation. if the government uses its money and its military power to manipulate another nation's policy, that's not right

[spring goblet]

especially witht the story

[primal frigate]

exactly

[orchid plover]

Sounds good to me

[spring goblet]

i hope they really go all in on it

with events and world building

and map evolution

and new items and enemies

[astral turtle]

I lack the rest of this conversation & this out of the blue is so funny for me rn

[primal frigate]

lets say by month 2 im done with cryo archive and played a bunch of ranked

[orchid plover]

I want to see a whole W'rkncacnter 💯

[primal frigate]

then I spend a whole month playing fuckall

[drowsy portal]

There is a lot of potential for this

[primal frigate]

nevermind 3 more

jesus christ

[long osprey]

some guy is trying to argue that the UESC using funds to build the Marathon instead of feeding Mars is a "noble goal"

[vagrant raft]

Defending old and model extraction models because you dont know any better or cannot be creative is wild. Shows how mentally conditioned people are. Stagnant thinking.

[muted urchin]

Are they foreign or multi-planetary? Genuinely asking

[vagrant coral]

short wipes (even 3 months) is insanely dumb for any extraction shooter. Never have I been satisfied with my playthrough of Tarkov even hardcore wipe in 3 months

[kind snow]

It is fuck mars

[spring goblet]

yeah i was hoping arc raiders was gonna go this route but 4 months later and theres been almost nothing with the story outside of some npc dialogue

[glossy locust]

Wipes should allow you to retain something for offline play or private servers at the very least, just not public.

You should be able to at least goof around with your 6 month old God-build on a private mode if you want. To almost totally lose everything seems unnecessary.

[spring goblet]

i really like arcs lore theres just nothing to it gameplay wise

[vagrant raft]

New and creative ways to wipe is the answer here. Its not about following others. Make your own path. Simple.

[primal frigate]

thank god bungie isnt employing this man

[orchid plover]

Pack it up

[kind snow]

So what’s ur ideal model since u know so much

[astral turtle]

bungie should be able to nail that out of the park for ya based on previous titles

[sacred agate]

Something so simple is yet so hard for devs and players to understand

[muted urchin]

I hope you understand money doesn’t work this way. I can’t just say “here’s paper now eat” you have to have the infrastructure to do it. That was the Crists or whatever which were shows to be ineffective

[primal frigate]

I feel like the exact opposite

[long osprey]

UESC stands for United Earth Space Council. their jurisdiction is over Earth, their influence over the policy of Mars's government is no different from imperialist satellite nations of the past, a la Victorian Britain and India

[spring goblet]

hopefully wipes haved an in universe reason and not just ur stuff is gone now. alsio i was a little let down with the timer hitting 0 arc kinda set the bar waith a nuke wiping the map just auto dying is kinda lame

[sacred agate]

Never actually seen someone say they were interested in Arc Raiders lore

[spring goblet]

i guess tis ur signal being lost with the runner

[primal frigate]

arcs lore is just there

[spring goblet]

hopefully its explained im a sucker for continuiny ʻ

[sturdy vector]

@primal frigate i got mida but uhhh my hexagon is looking a little round

[spring goblet]

i love helldivers for this

[vast quiver]

i see the the connection in lores from valo to arc to marathon...into the neuromancer theme era

[primal frigate]

damn, im arachne first, mida second 😭

double agent ig

[long osprey]

yes, which is what the money should be going towards: funding distribution networks and bureaucratic structures that can do the work of feeding the hungry, educating the uneducated, and keeping people healthy

[spring goblet]

helldivers probably has the best continuity in any game its so fleshed out to the minute detail

[primal frigate]

just feels bad since i been shitting on them

[orchid plover]

Exactly. Then use those ressources to either reform or replace the Crists with something. I promise you there are ways to help a starving planet without sending an entire 300y expedition.

[sturdy vector]

not mpreg

[green walrus]

Hop on

[primal frigate]

😟

[orchid plover]

Got Arachne first, Mida and somehow too much of UESC

[sacred agate]

I got Sekiguchi with Mida coming close in second

Never said I know what's best or that I know anything btw. Simply hearing this brain dead replies about following old models is outrageous. Marathon can set trends and be the new standard. Thinking inside the box is the issue.

One idea would be to sure make it a 3 month wipe but each player keeps one faction progression. Losing all is a bad idea. The rest can wipe and we build off that. Making for continued development. Just a example of thinking outside of brain dead old ways.

[sturdy vector]

i scored high on nucaloric and arachne

[kind snow]

My profile wasn’t perfect but I got nothing in uesc so I’ll take it

[stark glacier]

The worm chooses you

[sturdy vector]

i got plenty in uesc but non in traxus

got arachne first somehow but was riiiiiiight on the edge of mida so i did it again and got mida a second time

[muted urchin]

Are we not the bad guys in this game? Have I misunderstood the plot?

[balmy birch]

uhh i think i wanna sign up for the creator thingie

[orchid plover]

Same Traxus needs to go 😭

[muted urchin]

These are mega corporations

[primal frigate]

atleast no traxus bums

With their goal to steal information for their own gain

[upper ibex]

i mean we’re hired guns we don’t really have morality

[exotic thorn]

let's say i didn't save my DAC and the image in my DM doesn't load anymore, what do

[balmy birch]

but like do i need to input my real name or my nickname

[pallid lynx]

we are neither we are mercenaries

[stark glacier]

We're just in it for the money, not necessarily bad, the real bad guys are the corops

[sacred agate]

Literally the best

[muted urchin]

Sorry **the factions

[long osprey]

everyone is bad, what you've been arguing is that the UESC was justified in stealing Deimos and turning it into the Marathon for their own personal gain

[primal frigate]

easier explanation is we are not the heroes or the good guys

we are just there

[muted urchin]

They purchased it for gods sake

[kind snow]

[orchid plover]

I don’t see one decent faction

[forest ginkgo]

Free deimos till it's backwards 🗣️ 🔥

[lavish osprey]

are the contracts something i can figure out by myself or are they too difficult where I should just look it up

[muted urchin]

I would argue mercenaries for bad actors are bad guys, but yes you’re right

[long osprey]

they "purchased" it because they could've used their superior military to force Mars to surrender the moon if they didn't comply

[shy flame]

Bro its 2pm and my coworker has eaten over 3000 calories. They just asked me if they can have one of my protein shakes. What the fuck.

[upper ibex]

mars was literally in poverty and overpopulated, if it were turned into a CRIST it could have saved mars but the UESC chose their own greed over the well being of the people

[sacred agate]

I mean yeah shells are literally grey

[silk osprey]

The entire series is basically asking the question whether or not we are or we are not the good guys based on your perspective

[primal frigate]

the humble MIDA:

[sacred agate]

No it’s not

[orchid plover]

It’s crazy to me that after all the lore you still have one guy defending the UESC 😭

We all AGREED

[upper ibex]

despite being well intentioned MIDA has questionable methods and also a questionable rule over mars as well

[long osprey]

if i give someone a gift because i know they'll shoot me if i don't, it's not a transaction it's coercion

Hold on thinking about it isn’t Nucaloric ok ?

[stark glacier]

sekgen?

they just exist for progress

[sacred agate]

Nah

[stark glacier]

nothing sketchy

[upper ibex]

true, sadly

[lament jay]

what makes you think a company that specializes in pink slop food is okay

[upper ibex]

we still fw mida tho

[wooden dove]

AGHHHHHHHHHH

[long osprey]

they control all of the food, water, and drugs, on principle that's pretty evil

[sacred agate]

They basically build bodies for slaves

[upper ibex]

mida is my personal favorite faction

[kind snow]

NuCaloric just wants everyone to have Burger we are obviously the good guys

[civic yacht]

wait what’s the explanation why we kill other runners

[thin mirage]

[orchid plover]

Sekgen probably want humanity to be dependant on their biomata battlepass

[stark glacier]

*drink

[wooden dove]

idk not here

[forest narwhal]

is there any way i can re-generate my DAC?

[long osprey]

SekGen commodifies bodies, it makes labor a product that can be bought or sold which reduces the value of human labor and thus promotes inequity

[pallid lynx]

do /dac

[autumn zinc]

If my DAC won't load from my msesages anymore how do I get it

[forest narwhal]

@forest narwhal go #leaderboard and press dac on the bot

[upper ibex]

sekgen’s entire morality depends on what we view as too far for transhumanism, as well as how their advancements get used tbh

[vagrant raft]

Challenge the conditioned mind abd it folds into itself and acts like it doesnt see you. Gg

[sacred agate]

Like how can you argue that that sek does nothing wrong

[stark glacier]

im pretty sure every corporation commodifies bodies, id be surprised if any didnt explicitly use slaves - sekgen at least brings some positives by granting life/bodily function after organic failure

[pallid lynx]

Challenge the conditioned mind abd it folds into itself and acts like it doesnt see you. Gg

[orchid plover]

I would like to answer but Cyberacme might cut my neural access

[regal hemlock]

NuCal unproblematic

[sacred agate]

Sekgen literally builds them for everyone to use

[orchid plover]

True not inherently evil but well they do look ominous

[pallid lynx]

look at his youtube banner @wooden dove

[mental belfry]

Marathon

[pallid lynx]

that little avatar in his banner is so charming

[spring goblet]

ive consumed all relevant marathon content on yt i need more

[wooden dove]

thats hard

[stark glacier]

and prior to them using fake bodies real bodies were used, its not like they were creating a new evil its moreso replacing it + adding benefits

[sacred agate]

Overly processed sludge and a monopoly on drugs

[long osprey]

SekGen is the entire reason "we" are on Tau Ceti in the first place. they've designed sentient beings to die over and over for profit

[orchid plover]

Yeah but one day you will not be able to be hired or even live without their shells.

[kindred arrow]

As a trailer voice once said: “ I met a worm from a Sekiguchi lab…”

[mental belfry]

nucal haters just haven't tried our delicious product!

[balmy birch]

you mean labor as in birth?

[stark glacier]

we arent coerced though, we explicitly choose to become runners

[final monolith]

sekgen is bald

i dont liek it

[forest ginkgo]

Birth as in mpreg?

[upper ibex]

def one of those things thats while technically is a huge advancement its basically playing god which has never gone well

[orchid plover]

Who knows ? We might discover we actually are

[sonic flint]

have they said when the roadmap is gonna be coming out?

[sacred agate]

Continuing evil, got it

[pallid lynx]

"before launch"

[stark glacier]

maybe, but so far i think theyve explicitly said we chose ourselves to leave our body

[pallid lynx]

maybe literally right after sever slam 2 days before launch

[long osprey]

for money, which is the underlying coercive mode of surrendering the individual's value as an autonomous laborer

[sacred agate]

At least Traxus doesn’t pretend to be some morally good corp

[sonic flint]

oh okay thanks

[regal hemlock]

We only offer the best synthetic, caloric efficient, protein dense, product!

[primal frigate]

we migtht see it with server slam tbh

[stark glacier]

corporations exist purely to make money off of evil, i prefer a corporation that at least produces benefit

[balmy birch]

maybe during?

this is where things get spicy: i don't think we should even have money, at least in its current state

[forest plover]

holy crud they finally archived that closed alpha playtest channel

[orchid plover]

[stark glacier]

what would you replace it with, bartering? that still commodifies people because it turns human time and bodies into profit

[mental belfry]

Traxus helps us turn planets into healthy food!

[stark glacier]

have i been eaating rocks

[silk osprey]

I’m excited for the lore implications of all these factions

[mental belfry]

FOOD. You've been eating FOOD.

[long osprey]

money to the extent where it is not coercive on the autonomous laborer may only be transactional and nontransferable. "money" is thusly owned by one person to be used on one transaction and should not go towards motivating executive decisionmaking if the distribution of this "money" is equal

[kind snow]

Traxus wanted us to turn y’all into protein bars and we declined, just saying

[little hatch]

Hey guys, I was wondering, what's the purpose of the tiny blue drones on the newest gameplay ?

[mental belfry]

Food particles!

[spring goblet]

how do u access the quiz

[orchid plover]

Average Traxus move

[primal frigate]

what is a food particle

[spring goblet]

i dont see on websiteʻ

[stark glacier]

then what motivates anyone to work, no matter what if you want people to function as a society you need benefits for people to help each other

[orchid plover]

This faction irritates me

[regal hemlock]

Theyre like lifeline drones in a way, if youve played apex

[pallid lynx]

that's triages ability, he throws a drone that attaches to a teammate and heals them + restores their shield + shares any consumable the triage uses

[sacred agate]

Aww

[gaunt fractal]

Release my game

[warm beacon]

marathon

[pallid lynx]

https://tauceti.world/profiling

[mental belfry]

Yummy + Sustenance = Food Particle (Delicious and enjoyable, friends optional)

[kind snow]

Traxus turns the poor into food, MID-a lets the whole world starve, NuCaloric feeds everyone with delicious 🍔

[stark glacier]

im pretty sure they have a limited amount of healing they can give (like a set amount of 50 healing before they run out), while lifelines drone gives constant healing for a set amount of time

[primal frigate]

what is it made of 😃

[long osprey]

people inherently want to work and contribute to their societies. by making money equal and non-transferrable, it limits the ways in which profit motivates someone to seek forms of employment which they do not want or are not suited for in pursuit of survival

[little hatch]

Ok 👍 but I found a bit disturbing While playing no ? It's like a big pop up ad 😅

[sacred agate]

Traxus doesn’t do cannibalism

[halcyon condor]

"Delicious"

[mental belfry]

Yummy and Sustenance

[tawny token]

hey guys

[sacred agate]

I’m pretty sure Nucal does cannibalism

[thorn python]

people do genuinely want to work
you trap someone in their home, they gonna wanna do shit, you dont need to dangle the incentive of money (and thus, survival) in front of their faces
people will do because they want to do, it is simply not a problem

[past peak]

Anyone know if the server slam build will have controller support for steam?

[gaunt fractal]

Hi

[orchid plover]

We got Plato in the chat

[primal frigate]

what is yummy and sustenance 😃

[pallid lynx]

i think so

[mental belfry]

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

[primal frigate]

[mental belfry]

Food! (Friends optional)

[primal frigate]

face of a cannibal

[tawny token]

arachne on top

[thorn python]

nucaloric human meat ramen

[orchid plover]

Burger are made of three-eyed cows

[long osprey]

you get "money" for the work you put in, and only you can use that "money" to spend on products which you are thus given the liberty to use as you please

[stark glacier]

i dont think people want to work to assist a society, they solely want to work to benefit themselves/those close to them (like immediate family), they dont care about the results to those outside of them

[regal hemlock]

Only sometimes

[primal frigate]

this dude recycles people into food

[sacred agate]

That’s what the guy was talking about when he said we’re monsters 🙁

[mental belfry]

[fathom lichen]

Can anyone help how do I get a dac?

[orchid plover]

At least Arachne is honest and is just here to wreak havoc. I’ll give them that.

[drowsy portal]

Arachne people skin you, send your skin to NuCaloric, NuCaloric turns your skin into protein bars... that's how everything works

[kind snow]

“Traxus ensures removal of all identifiable traces of human in the manufacture of its protein bars” ain’t the flex u think it is

[halcyon condor]

explain surgeons

[mental belfry]

Wrong! 🚨 🚨 🚨

[tawny token]

straight up

[sacred agate]

This is a realistic view

[muted urchin]

They get paid phenomenally

[thorn python]

its like this because thats how its been structured for decades, its how everyones been conditioned to think

[stark glacier]

people want to work purely because they need work to survive and give back to their immediates, if everyone didnt need to work and still met their living standards no one would work

[tawny token]

it’s like that in real life too, why do you think protein bars taste like buns

[fathom lichen]

Anyone know how to get a dac?

[long osprey]

this perspective is informed by the current structure of society, working to benefit one's self (ie survival) is irrelevant when one does not need to overextend his means to insure survival

[orchid plover]

Explain NGOs and overall free labor

[halcyon condor]

Or maybe they want to save people

🚬

[pallid lynx]

i think you think this

[ember geode]

Go to leaderboard and hit DAC

[drowsy portal]

Yummy, yummy, skin protein bars

[thorn python]

its a 50/50

[primal frigate]

question, would you work if you got a fair wage and good working conditions etc? or would you rather take a nice welfare check, substantially lower than the wage but can live off of it?

[tawny token]

🤑

[stark glacier]

sure some of them work purely out of the kindness of their heart but i doubt a surgeon would go to school and through medical debt and through all of the work of being a surgeon purely out of kindness

they need a reward beyond being happy

[long osprey]

if the bare minimum is readily accessible, the autonomous laborer is not coerced into work

[kind snow]

I’d rather take a welfare check and starve daily than to lift a finger to better my living conditions. Duh

[halcyon condor]

And the people who got full ride scholarships and still opted to go into the medical field?

[stark glacier]

its widely known that the majority of NGOs and personal free labor is done because people individually want to feel good about themselves, so they exist for selfish reasons

[primal frigate]

so then what happens

[stark glacier]

because the medical field notably pays a shit ton of money

[flint falcon]

Straight up to Wall-E society

[long osprey]

is it selfish to want to feel like you've done something good? i think that's a tad cynical

[pallid lynx]

meoww

[muted urchin]

Of course that’s the case a lot of times. But many go for both. And they wouldn’t go through that school for so little payout even if they would like to help.

I’m not cynical enough to think that helping society is never a motivation, but many times you need both motivations.

Feeding my family comes first

[mental belfry]

NuCaloric works only for the benefit of humanity and life. The term "life" may or may not include profit as a means of "life"

[stark glacier]

im not saying its not selfish, but it is one of the main reasons people ever help those outside of their small personal group

[primal frigate]

another question, does it matter?

end result, people are helped

[stark glacier]

well yeah, it shows that people work only for personal benefit

[pallid lynx]

this personality quiz has brought a lot of heated discussion from people who picked all the wrong answers

[kind snow]

People always strive for better. Give everyone a floor to keep them from entering destitute poverty and they will still work to achieve more

[orchid plover]

What is bro saying

[halcyon condor]

I think that assuming most people only pursue certain paths for money ignore the dozens upon dozens of other fields where this clearly is not the case

[gaunt fractal]

lol what’d you get

[mental belfry]

I'm the only person who chose every correct answer.

[dim pike]

I don’t think this is always the case

[pallid lynx]

nuh uh i am

[pallid lynx]

mida

[primal frigate]

no me

[halcyon condor]

In the modern age what benefits do public school teachers have

[elder sky]

so i'm kind of at a loss as to how to interact with contracts

[long osprey]

the autonomous laborer is free to work as they please when they need to work. when more of our theoretical money is needed, they'll go out and work, if not, they may survive on what they have earned for themself and themself only

[gaunt fractal]

To be entirely honest so did I, I’m posing

I think with fresh eyes (lol, or augmented ones) I've really come to kind of love the aesthetic and the idea that everything is hyper industrialized for automated colonization of another world but ALSO a spooky vision into the finished product not looking the same to those that live there, where every surface is a QR code for an AI to make a wall look like a wall, rather than spend all the resources to MAKE it nice, instead you Virtual-Augment real walls with whatever images and textures you or a centralized AI wishes you to see them.

HOW comfortable do the colonists need to be, would we deal with the bare walls and [product provider name here] laser etched into the walls forever JUST because space colony in a CyberPrint future?

[orchid plover]

I just wanted to know what they put in burgers

[kind snow]

Never said I know what's best or that I know anything btw. Simply hearing this brain dead replies about following old models is outrageous. Marathon can set trends and be the new standard. Thinking inside the box is the issue.

New ways to keep the game fresh is key.

One idea would be to sure make it a 3 month wipe but each player keeps one faction progression. Losing all is a bad idea. The rest can wipe and we build off that. Making for continued development. Just a example of thinking outside of brain dead old ways.

[primal frigate]

i was already honest

😭

[kind snow]

When I was 18, 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life, I saw a vision of clarity. I saw a comic strip, a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me, changed my being, changed who I am, made me who I am, enlightened me. The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new, no more then maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence, and there it was before me in print, I saw it, a comic strip. What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that. I will get to this later, but first, let us just say he is Jon, a plain man, and then there is a cat, Garfield. This is the nature of the world here. When I see the world, the...the politics, the future, the... satellites in space, and the people who put them there, you could look at everything as a man and a cat. Two beings, in harmony, and at war. So this strip I saw about this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see.... yes, hmm, it is about everything, this little comic is, oh... lo and behold not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic and it hit me all at once, its power, I clipped it and every day I looked at it and I said, okay, let me look at this here, what is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful? Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed, comfortable in his home and he reads his newspaper. The news of the world perhaps. Then he extends his fingers, lightly, delicately, he taps his fingers on an end table and he feels for something. What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. Then he looks up, slightly cockeyed and he thinks... his newspaper in his lap now, and he thinks this: "Now where could my pipe be?" This... I always come to this, because I was a young man, I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks: "Now where could my pipe be?", and then it happens, you see it, you.

[pallid lynx]

be extra honest!

Mida agent i see you

[sacred agate]

Oppression and harming innocent people and planets/moons

[primal frigate]

Ah yes the cyborgs placed there by mida operative Strauss

[severe musk]

but its all in the name of keeping orderr

[quiet pulsar]

i think after we meet compilers and pfhor's we'll get uesc as new faction (copium)

[orchid plover]

Strauss is mida pilled

[sacred agate]

That’s one way to interpret the survey lol

[regal hemlock]

NuCal getting CyAc on the quiz getting called MIDA ✌️🥹

[long osprey]

yeah order for earthlings, mars is starving because of the UESC

[north tusk]

the perceived order that benefits them and only them, certainly

[ancient storm]

strauss was a friend to arachne

[dull tangle]

That's far too many for multiple runners

[primal frigate]

Source: I made it the fuck up

[kind snow]

Strauss loved the NuCaloric burger

[ancient storm]

[severe musk]

[regal hemlock]

This is fact checked and proven true

[orchid plover]

Next time don’t steal an entire moon

[regal hemlock]

[sinful nexus]

I conflated tomboy with femboy my bad

[serene chasm]

[crimson garnet]

Cs2 is an unsafe environment for most women

[orchid plover]

Lmao

[serene chasm]

You’re my first kill when the game drops

[crimson garnet]

I’ll show you no mercy

[sacred agate]

It would be interesting if Mida was funded by some of the corps

[ancient storm]

you're all skinned when the game drops

[serene chasm]

I really like the game but it sucks I can’t play it outside of a 5 stack

[magic rose]

@scenic meteor I installed league and it said "Congratulations on becoming a chud! Welcome to The Rift"
what do I do next? 😁

[crimson garnet]

Yeah if you’re not a guy the game is not fun with randoms

[outer grove]

this is marathon not fallout hope this helps

[severe musk]

just get them all

[crimson garnet]

Even as a guy the game isn’t fun with randoms ~80% of the time

Cause most are just ripping slurs for shock value

No good banter to be had after that

[serene chasm]

One guy threatened me with the R word

[crimson garnet]

Yeah that’s no bueno

[sacred agate]

Hope you enjoy the lore

[flint falcon]

Actually there are hints that Traxsus did some funding

[fringe sierra]

How do the contracts work? I just got here

[ancient storm]

yeah its cyberacme saying "take this money and use it to kill people!"

[crimson garnet]

Oh shit you’re a New Yorker

[sturdy vector]

mpReg

[crimson garnet]

I used to live in New York

[sacred agate]

Exactly, HAHA Traxus haters

WE FUND YOU

[outer grove]

yeah i will , also i feel as my message might have come off as rude but just know that’s not how i intended it

[serene chasm]

Repping 347 in 315

[digital light]

Why would you call me that... </3

[outer grove]

i apologize

[orchid plover]

Traxus employee over into some shenanigans again

[crimson garnet]

My fiancée still has her 315 number

[flint falcon]

I'm not a hater, we at CyAc dont hate. The lore says it not me.

[tropic creek]

I thought you'd like it

[paper hound]

we talking about the DAC button right? my link doesn't have the format urlparam

[crimson garnet]

Fuck upstate tho I hated Potsdam

[serene chasm]

I love it here upstate

[dull tangle]

MIDA uses Sekiguchi & CyberAcme for all runners, same as most factions. So long as no hostility is thrown towards Sekiguchi and CyberAcme, they will keep their runners... for now.

[digital light]

I don't like being referred to human waste 💔

[crimson garnet]

Watertown was cool tho

[ancient storm]

hi poopie😊

[serene chasm]

Quiet and no shootouts but I miss the public transport

[sacred agate]

I’m mostly referring to people of Mida, even tho I align with many of their ideals

[tropic creek]

Haiiii🫶🏻

[orchid plover]

That why you seen nobody in chat slandering Cyberacme. Everybody want to keep their neural access.

[crimson garnet]

If we were to move back to that area idk if we’d stay upstate ny or move across the lake to VT

[tropic creek]

What's your preferred choice ?

[crimson garnet]

Preferably neither and keep slowly moving west away from snow

[serene chasm]

I’m planning to move to Delaware soon

[ancient storm]

peepie😊👍

[crimson garnet]

I heard Delaware is nice

I wanna move to Nevada

[sacred agate]

Peepy?

[crimson garnet]

Fiancée hates the desert tho

[raven thunder]

[sacred agate]

Wait don’t most people

Your guess is as good as mine

[crimson garnet]
