5 days, if im right

[desert edge]

I'll watch streams I guess 💀

[opal whale]

6

[acoustic flint]

alpha is nda so no streams

[golden gyro]

hey

[heady plover]

I hope my extensive hours on d2 gives me a shot at the alpha

[desert edge]

oh well

[snow jolt]

Good morning.

[opal whale]

Some content will be released during the alpha just not from streamers unless some of them ( the more popular ones ) are allowed to.

[sharp willow]

also hoping the same thing with my playtime in the previous halo games, used the same email since i first signed up for xbl in 2004 to play halo 2 online lmao

[glad tiger]

So why do we have this channel sorry?

[heady plover]

Yeah I never get into these alphas I tried with delta force and rivals both my friends got em and I never got in

And that game that is already shutting down by shroud

[sharp willow]

well ive got my fingers crossed for both of our entry haha

[snow jolt]

Need more places to talk.

[glad tiger]

Ah

[hard canyon]

[frosty scaffold]

Bungie normally does things around 10-11am PDT but who knows

[snow jolt]

Did you all eat breakfast already?

[frosty scaffold]

No but I do have coffee

[opal whale]

No they legit just haven’t sent any alpha access codes the alpha hasn’t started yet

[snow jolt]

What kind?

[desert edge]

I love coffee

[frosty scaffold]

The work kind that is free but I actually pay for through my work lol

[snow jolt]

Which one do you prefer?

[sharp willow]

monster

[frosty scaffold]

There's a rumour they'd be sending out alpha codes today lol

[opal whale]

Well that’s false

[desert edge]

Mostly those that aren't too strong and I like it with caramel

[opal whale]

Why would they send out codes a week before the alpha

[vagrant mirage]

same, freshly grounded espresso, smoky flavors

[frosty scaffold]

Double espresso is the best

[formal shale]

🤞

[vagrant mirage]

yea sometimes macchiato

[river granite]

Downloads, sharing, maybe to get NDA understood maybe? Hoping to get updates today

[opal whale]

It’s unlikely that it would be this soon but anything is possible so idk

[ruby isle]

'[['[[[[[[[[;[[];]=,.9m0]=ol]=f=]v=;l][[.ol05]fc v[[lm9[0l]ml[][;l]

[opal whale]

I would guess weekend before would be the best time

[snow jolt]

True.

[limber token]

Bro is spitting

[ruby isle]

oh fuck cleaning keyboard mb

[eager swallow]

[snow jolt]

Lol there's an update to ScummVM and I went to install it and Discord detected it as Leisure Suite Larry 1.

How to get the banner on mobile

[errant grotto]

i agree

[barren basin]

Bout to eat some Greek yogurt with cherries and get paid to be in cubicle purgatory

[lapis fjord]

What? 😆

[snow jolt]

Enjoy.

[mental scarab]

Click your profile icon in bottom right > Click gear icon top right > Scroll down to Billing Settings > Click on Quests and should see the Quest for Marathon

[scenic plank]

I clicked the marathon

[covert terrace]

Did the closed alpha participants get selected yet?

[snow jolt]

But did you run the marathon?

[mental scarab]

There should be a video for you to sit through and watch, after watching you should get it

[scenic plank]

On mobile?

It just say watch video but idk what vid

[covert terrace]

click "Watch video" I think

[mental scarab]

Does it not give you a button to press to watch it?

[daring mantle]

no uk alpha?

[scenic plank]

No it travels me in ts group

[dark granite]

Same same

[mental scarab]

Hmm odd, not sure what to do in that case then other than trying to open your browser in desktop mode and trying the same thing there

[scenic plank]

Hmmmm can y send the video link maybe?

[snow jolt]

You have to be on desktop.

[scenic plank]

Oh :((

[snow jolt]

By clicking on mobile you sent an alert to when you get on desktop.

[scenic plank]

Well dang

[snow jolt]

You could try in a mobile browser set to desktop mode.

[mental scarab]

You think if you use desktop mode in mobile browser it would work?

[mental scarab]

lol yeah exactly the only other thing I could think of

[tulip rampart]

are we allowed to talk about it after the alpha ?

[acoustic flint]

i have no clue tbh, i just know you have to sign some closed alpha agreement

[barren basin]

Profile Acquired

[edgy elk]

absolutely not, tried that days ago

at least for my mobile browsers

[snow jolt]

I wonder why.

[north hill]

hey everyone

wanted to sign up for the alpha but im from brazil so guess ill have to wait hahaha

[hollow pumice]

Just move to the states in the next 6 days

[covert terrace]

I am so sorry...

[slim depot]

#🐛alpha_access pls?

[covert terrace]

Oh wait I misread that, I thought you said you just moved...

[north hill]

im packing my bags hol on

[edgy elk]

rip <\3

[opal whale]

no alpha for latam?

[hollow pumice]

Yeah no i didn't, i'm just in canada

[torpid eagle]

hello chat

[mental scarab]

@scenic plank can always go to your local library and do it on a computer there, not sure how dedicated you are to getting it haha

[covert terrace]

May I ship myself to you?

[hollow pumice]

When are you guys invading us i want my taxes lowered

Also probably

[covert terrace]

Yaaa

I'll stop there to keep from violating TOS of this particular discord XD

[hollow pumice]

Ye np

[light scroll]

awooooo

[worthy igloo]

Wild sentence

[opal whale]

yo gurt

[snow jolt]

Sorry best we can offer is 115% increase on all electronics.

[covert terrace]

Better than posting a giant red A and saying "Let's see which tax bracket is most made of cake, let's start with the top."

[light scroll]

yo

[hollow pumice]

Well fuck

[opal whale]

yo

[worthy igloo]

Yo

[opal whale]

i want to play so bad but im not from US 🥲

[lofty tinsel]

i want to play

[hollow pumice]

we all want to play but alas the alpha is not out

[desert edge]

but MIDA is here for you

[eternal forge]

no alpha for anyone outside of US/CA 😔

tragic asf

[mild estuary]

whatttt thats so sad

[hollow pumice]

i'm not even sure why that's the case, probably because they want to keep any potential leaks contained?

maybe cause the law is similar in case they have to go after a prolific leaker

[tough cedar]

How did u get that decoration on ur pfp

[sterile shard]

we need alphaaaa

[snow jolt]

https://discord.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[tough cedar]

Its not working for me

[eternal forge]

i reckon its because they dont have servers available in EU, Asia, Oceania blahblahblah

[drowsy copper]

Discord quest

[hollow pumice]

that's actually the simplest and probably correct answer lul

[oak kestrel]

Does anyone know when invites start going out for the alpha

[tough cedar]

I tried but its not working

[sterile shard]

try to watch it on web

[empty blaze]

23rd

[sterile shard]

not app

[tough cedar]

What wep

[oak kestrel]

Thank you

[eternal forge]

because you technically can access it if youre outside of the us/ca but it wont necessarily be stable

[sterile shard]

discord

[empty blaze]

i had to watch it on my desktop instead of my phone for it to work

[eternal forge]

it only let me watch it on my mac for some reason

[hollow pumice]

this gotta be some runner's ultimate where you can blow up a guy's brain

upload mida mpreg to his neurons

[scarlet parcel]

hi everyone!

[snow jolt]

I thought his mind was just blown that he got to be in the trailer.

[eternal forge]

no clue

привет

[scarlet parcel]

ооо

слушай сколько времени примерно заявку принимают на альфа тест?

[eternal forge]

wait is there a rule against foreign communication???????????

[hollow pumice]

it's depicting tau ceti before "every citizen there mysteriously died"

more specifically it shows the event that caused them to die, some kind of space station blowing up and then the guys just peacing out from existance because of it

[scarlet parcel]

u sure?

[hollow pumice]

it's like a 10 minute thing

[snow jolt]

Yeah. Do you think it's a biological weapon?

Or maybe they dropped some kind of lethal nano machines down there.

[hollow pumice]

i think it's gonna be some kind of paracausal and philosophical "link between human and machine" type shit

[eternal forge]

США и Канада только

[scarlet parcel]

oh, I thouht it would be like a day

[barren moat]

will there be any language channels? or English only

[hollow pumice]

or that space station was creating the atmosphere or upheld livable gravitationnal conditions

[sterile shard]

日本じゃalphaできんのかぁ　やらせてくれ

[hollow pumice]

oh you mean how long they take to process the alpha entry? yea they'll start sending out invitations on the 23rd of april, you don't get a confirmation email for submitting your alpha ticket

they just send you an email if you get in, starting on the 23rd but you can get in later too

[eternal forge]

できない

[sly jetty]

Besides being a big streamer is there a way to increase your chances of receiving an alpha?

[scarlet parcel]

got it

[vagrant mirage]

receive a priority access link

[sterile shard]

wow you can understand many laguages

[hollow pumice]

i'm assuming they'll first start picking with people who have lots of exerience in games of similar genre and have specs they want to test performance on

[sly jetty]

What did they ask? I read but couldn’t comprehend.

[eternal forge]

I have too much time on my hands, and I study Japanese professionally lmao

[eternal forge]

basically just if Alpha is available within Japan (slowmode is killing me slowly)

[sterile shard]

im studying English with discord

[eternal forge]

you're doing good!

[sterile shard]

thank you!

[hasty wigeon]

Lessss gooo

Big ups to anyone knowing more than 2 languages

[eternal forge]

its hard bro

especially non-latin script languages, but also props to people who dont speak some european language learning english, its a dumb language

[vagrant mirage]

I learned english with halo 2 and 3 xbox live

[karmic vector]

oh no, my condolences

that time period was so toxic lmao, especially halo 2 era xhox live

[vagrant mirage]

@karmic vector fun time, I reformed since then

[karmic vector]

so you dont disagree LMAO.

[snow jolt]

Could also be aliens or something.

[karmic vector]

people were uh.. hoo boy. Definitely not the best place to learn english.

[opal whale]

What is your opinion about Brazil of Brazilians?

[snow jolt]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=M75yW6WLYL0

[hollow pumice]

i mean that's possible, i know very little of marathon lore and i'm speculating based on what i'd expect from a "sci-fi universe"

[cosmic sinew]

Wait

[snow jolt]

In the Marathon games we're fighting aliens in a spaceship right away.

[hollow pumice]

then it probably was aliens

[vagrant mirage]

@karmic vector it got pretty toxic but nowhere near what kids gotta deal with it today. seems like added moderation made people more unhinged on their ways to mess with people

[cosmic sinew]

Marathon 2025 is connected to marathon 1994?

[hollow pumice]

all marathon is connected

[sly jetty]

The literal first thing I heard upon booting up Xbox live was someone snickering like a school yard nerd and calling another guy a fat ass.

[snow jolt]

Yeah the Marathon is depicted floating above Tau Ceti in the narrative trailer.

[eternal forge]

lord help your soul 🫡

[hollow pumice]

technically they even connected marathon to destiny and halo

[vagrant mirage]

the toxic was more honest, if that explains anything

[cosmic sinew]

God damn the lore I came here because of mielgos trailers😭😭🙏🙏🙏

[karmic vector]

it's really more so that people got more creative.
but it was way more toxic back then. It was incredibly more honest back then and people were not afraid to say extremely racist or phobic things out loud since everyone else around them did it too

[snow jolt]

Right here at the beginning you see it inside of that moon thing: https://youtu.be/5oAXso6hMU8?t=3

[weary jacinth]

How did you get the frame? It won't let me.

[cosmic sinew]

Oh wow damn

[snow jolt]

That is at least what people analyizng the trailer said!

[vagrant mirage]

thats true it was a lot of shock value, now thats peoples identity

[vagrant mirage]

its the discor quest

[cosmic sinew]

I gotta get familiar with marathons game then🙏🙏

[midnight citrus]

I can confirm this

[snow jolt]

But it is the same universe. It's just in this situation these people are some kind of digital consciousness sent to this planet in synthetic bodies "shells" to work for the corps.

[cosmic sinew]

Which quests?

[karmic vector]

got to start somewhere lmao..
I hope most of the fucked up people I met back then chilled out later in life, but some of those people were likely not going to change their behavior.

[eternal forge]

they usually come to some self-realisation at some point, or just get a good beating

karma is a beautiful thing

[vagrant mirage]

its all a product of your environment, its tough for some

[snow jolt]

I went to find depictions of the ship from the original games and here someone made this fan art. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Dxg9X9?album_id=2444205

[cosmic sinew]

Oh wow

[vagrant mirage]

but then you could be in a healthy environement but consume the wrong content all day

[raven cedar]

Finally started OG marathon last night, it's actually so good

[shrewd epoch]

Same!

[cloud turtle]

my mom does this

[snow jolt]

Okay I'm going to start playing that again to catch up to you two!

[vagrant mirage]

yea sucks for kids today when their parents spend more time on screens than Ive ever did when I was a WoW player

[karmic vector]

you're not wrong and I do agree, though it's also that people reflect their behavior with the people around them so, xbox live 05-08 culture just sort of grew it like a petri dish.

[snow jolt]

Every platform figured out how to do the gameification of a casino or a mall to hook people.

[midnight citrus]

You guys got parents?

[eternal forge]

yeah, you'd be surprised the amount of hidden content and dogwhistles hidden around

[weary jacinth]

[eternal forge]

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA!!!

[shrewd epoch]

OG marathon feels like playing Doom in computer class in '95 🔛 🍔

[cloud turtle]

oh man

[karmic vector]

[midnight citrus]

the joke is their both dead to me, like the rest of the people related to me

[shrewd epoch]

PROPA THE ROPA

[silver beacon]

What video am I watching for the avatar thing

[midnight citrus]

Your incredibly susceptible to propaganda

[shrewd epoch]

Anyone jumping on Last Epoch today?

[snow jolt]

Check the pin and it's the first one.

[vagrant mirage]

think were getting marathon news today?

[silver beacon]

Which channel?

[snow jolt]

This channel. The pin.

[midnight citrus]

Nah

[vagrant mirage]

what day of the week are the bungie weekly updates nowadays?

[short compass]

thursday

[vagrant mirage]

soo

[quasi otter]

can't believe refused are breaking up again

[brazen hedge]

How can I play

[onyx geyser]

where are the weekly updates gonna be?

[sacred charm]

maybe I should make or join a team with this game, I have never bothered making or joining a team with any game, running ranked solo is terrible

[vagrant mirage]

bungie.net?

[pine sable]

how do you get alpha-access?

[short blade]

Has anyone got an email yet?

[eternal forge]

#🐛alpha_access

[trim zinc]

Nope

[little mirage]

I have no idea if any of my friends will even touch this game i do have a couple tarkiv friends but we might need to find new buddies lmao

[livid venture]

alpha_access

[sacred charm]

#🐛alpha_access use "/alpha", should appear as option to choose when using /

[nova jungle]

Hope

[snow jolt]

Booting into Marathon 1!

[vagrant mirage]

I may have one friend into it but for the rest of em they all jaded with modern games

[snow jolt]

Going to see if I can remember what I was doing when I last played.

[onyx geyser]

oh ok thought they were gonna be in the disc

[next basin]

Being in North America

[cyan pumice]

When are we getting alpha codes bois

[vagrant mirage]

I assume a few days before the 23rd

[sacred charm]

maybe they should pin a message in #🐛alpha_access showing what to choose with an image lol

[livid cobalt]

How do y'all have the cool thing around you profile

[sacred charm]

[snow jolt]

Check the pin and do the quest.

[tropic lion]

Do the quest. It’s worth

[livid cobalt]

Thanks

[tropic lion]

Odds of coolness increasing for you are now 3 to 1

[snow jolt]

Rereading the Marathon 1 game manual:

It took over 30,000 working hours to make Marathon a reality. Please don’t steal the food from our children’s mouths by pirating this software. We understand how you might think something this good should belong to everyone, but let’s be real. If we don’t get rich off this, we ain’t makin’ any more games.

[ripe locust]

[snow jolt]

<< warning >>
This manual contains sarcastic language that some readers might find condescending

[pine sable]

that's what I chose as my region

[tropic lion]

[midnight citrus]

That’s the type of language I can get behind

[tropic lion]

I think alpha doesn’t open for another week ish, then it’s a lottery if you get in

[hasty wigeon]

Sorry if this has been asked a ton, but what does that DAC thing do?

[tropic lion]

It’s special stuff for the ARG and other secrets :)

[wispy wing]

shits your pants

[sacred charm]

how long will it take for a marathon and fortnite collab?

[tropic lion]

[midnight citrus]

You know how in payday 3 you gotta use QR codes as keys?

[hasty wigeon]

Hell ya okay I was just confused on it lol

[opal garnet]

I'm gonna Locust so hard.....

[hasty wigeon]

Ahhh yesss I like that

[snow jolt]

Have your DAC printed on a t-shirt.

[midnight citrus]

Locus put your DAC away

[opal garnet]

🤣💯🫡

[tropic lion]

They have some more info in here. There’s a twitter post and some stuff they found already for it https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1360678232470323470

[livid cobalt]

What video do I have to watch for the profile border

[tropic lion]

You gotta do the quest on desktop iirc

[midnight citrus]

I don’t cuz I’m blind as a bat

[runic prairie]

Ye

[tropic lion]

@livid cobalt pop this open on desktop and it should take you right to the video. Then you can claim the border

[native nacelle]

guys, wheres the video from the quest

[tropic lion]

See above lol

[hasty wigeon]

Shows up when you click on it

[native nacelle]

where? i don’t see it maybe cause im mobile

[runic prairie]

Thats the problem

[tropic lion]

Ahh yup, gotta be on desktop

[native nacelle]

mobile web works?

thank you wormposting

[midnight citrus]

He failed the skill check

[sacred charm]

gotta have one of your friends do it for you if you don't have a desktop

[sacred charm]

a little hyped

[vagrant mirage]

go to your local library and download discord

[velvet niche]

The community honestly got me really hype and then the gameplay doubled it

[errant siren]

Bro how to get that banner

[snow jolt]

Don't want some random person stealing your Discord at the library.

[vagrant mirage]

I honestly hope libraries cant let you download stuff

[errant siren]

HOW TO GET THAT BANNER

[livid cobalt]

That's good I have been look at a bunch of video for marathon and I can't wait to play it

[snow jolt]

Oh my message got auto deleted. I'm saying: be careful if you log into Discord at the library, because those computers are not necessarily secure.

[sacred charm]

wich one?

[silver shard]

They probably mean the avatar decoration

[errant siren]

Which u have

[runic prairie]

Scroll up a bit and you’ll see

[snow jolt]

So my advice was how to clear the files that would allow someone to steal your Discord from you and how to do a full reboot so that final remnants on the computer disappear after you delete them.

[worthy tendon]

hey guys

[sacred charm]

@errant siren

[errant siren]

Yes

[steep solstice]

honestly if I ever needed to use a library puter for discord, I would probably go fully paranoid and create a bootable TailsOS on a memory stick and use that on the library puter instead

[quaint sedge]

https://discord.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[blazing thicket]

Will this game be similar to DMZ (the greatest cod experience ever created) or no?

[vast kestrel]

I hope not

[snow jolt]

Yeah at least in this situation the only thing you would at all worry about is what happens during the initial boot and you're bypassing whatever is going on on their computers.

[quaint sedge]

It will be an extraction shooter if that's what you're asking

[errant siren]

I saw the movement tech and my titanfall monkey brain started going crazy. New tech to learn 😈

[cold pilot]

How do I get that fancy border lads

[ivory heron]

🫃 🫃 🫃

[snow jolt]

Okay so rereading the game manual for the first game I am realizing that we are probably seeing things related to the "Tuncer Mirage Effect" (in the cinematic trailer I mean) which is related to teleportation. Go to page 3. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2398450/manuals/Marathon_Manual.pdf?t=1724340515

[torn yarrow]

Movement tech? I saw a slide that you can’t hipfire in, and that’s about it lol

[fathom wigeon]

all you gangsta dawgg wit 2 g's

[ripe locust]

Oh trust me we will find other things too. There is a double jump as well. I think there will be more to find.

[steep solstice]

this is the long-form-thinking-mans-channel where we discuss high level societal issues

[torn yarrow]

Wasn’t that limited to just that one character tho

[ripe locust]

Exactly, that’s who I wanna play

[sacred viper]

When are keys getting sent out?

[raven cedar]

Whoever has the most movement is who I'm playing

[torn yarrow]

Eh, movement is cool but if all the characters have roughly the same base movement, I see no reason not to run the dude that literally says “nuh uh” to bullets lmao

[snow jolt]

Grey white decompressing vapor fills the cylindrical passageway of the airlock. Through the degenerating clouds of the airlock passageway, instead of looking upon the Tau Ceti starscape, you see the Tuncer Mirage Effect: space blurring and focusing in diminishing cycles. The TME is commonplace to you, humanity has used teleporters for almost five hundred years, and you yourself have been teleporting since before you were born. But you’ve never seen the TME cover an area so big before, and never at all without a landing pad. And yet another first: a space fighter materializes right in front of your eyes. Since you don’t recognize the model, it must be an Alien ship.

[weary jacinth]

[fresh ermine]

glitch can double jump with a passive

[icy hatch]

But the event goes until the 20th

[fresh ermine]

but I think there's an implant that let's the other runners double jump as well

[thick swift]

in 6ish days

[torn yarrow]

https://discord.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[ripe locust]

Listen we love a nuhuh but I’m sure it won’t be free. I’m just excited to learn the mechanics period but movement has always been a massive thing for me

[sacred viper]

Thanks

[torn yarrow]

Right, but there’s no iframes in that, meanwhile I press 1 button, and take zero damage

[sacred charm]

[ripe locust]

I do hope I get a code. I have a pretty beefy setup and the graphics card is so new it wasn’t even an option when filling out the forum so fingers crossed they wanna run tests on my hardware

[compact violet]

Iframes in a shooter ?

[steep solstice]

wait who teleports

[ripe locust]

(That and I run Linux so even more fingers crossed they wanna test that)

[real belfry]

i mean... it doesnt seem graphics intensive so you'll be fine without a beefy setup.

[thick swift]

ok rich person.

[ripe locust]

You mean financial irresponsible

[thick swift]

Bungie wants BIG BEEFY SETUPS i dont think you understand.

[snow jolt]

Let me rewatch the trailer and see if I'm just confused.

[torn yarrow]

Yeah, me and my 1060 ti are rockin this game at least at 400 fps

[remote lake]

It's a group task ya'll we literally need to have 2000 logged in at same time. Go to Traxus.Global/satellite-map and login with your DAC.

[magic fjord]

Yo chat sup

[fresh ermine]

none of the revealed runners can, but maybe thief or the 6th runner has some sort of to ability

[compact violet]

buddy is doing a week old arg

[errant trail]

Having money to buy the things you want is financially irresponsible
Welcome to Discord

[chrome shore]

or just financially responsible enough to afford a beefy pc setup

[magic fjord]

Guys here is a discord quest how to do it?

How did you do that quest to get that custom avatar

[chrome shore]

thats the mac im on right now

[atomic basin]

i wanted a 3060 but it was during peak gpu prices time, it was either $400 for a 3060 or $200 for similar performance

[fresh ermine]

at least with AMD you aren't reliant on ai upscaling to get your peak frames

[thick swift]

i have no money atm, only expense i am allowing myself currently is MARATHON

[magic fjord]

How did y‘all make that quest i don‘t understand it

[snow jolt]

Okay the "anomaly" (???) that people were talking about has the blurring that I think is indicative of this Tuncer Mirage Effect. https://youtu.be/fvbEnWLRo1s?t=67

Even the attack on the Marathon in orbit must be what is described in this manual.

Agreed

[atomic basin]

yeah i was gonna go for a 4080 but 9070 is a lot more appealing

@thick swift keep grinding youll get there eventually it just takes time, IMO the best thing you can do is pick something you love and just get really good at it and make that ur job

wasting time on discord is absolutely a fantastic pastime if you ask me

Thanks bro, I had to log into my rotten PC that doesn't even run Windows from 1989, Thank you very much

@opal iron not like studio level like marvel big but yes

[compact violet]

This MAY really be tim apple

[steep solstice]

everybody needs to put that on their resume if they use discord more than once

[thick swift]

Nvidia and Apple had a falling out, doubt it.

[opal iron]

oh shit, thats still cool. Idk if I want to go straight into industry or continue education

[frail tiger]

Go to industry higher Ed is a scam. Source: I’ve worked in higher ed for 16 years

[chrome shore]

@opal iron straight into it, i have 0 education from school im 100% self taught

[fluid night]

Real

[fathom wigeon]

tbh education system clearly failed me, i should be wildly bitter but like i can't be mainly cause it wasn't the educators it was the adults at the time making the laws that clearly set up the wrong kind of success what with the whole "doing your own research is wrong and you should feel wrong for doing such!" experience i've had for a good majority of it lmao

[chrome shore]

^^^

[opal iron]

Hmmm idk im leaning more towards a phd but eh. My field prefers phds or masters tbh

[shadow shuttle]

Hi chatters

[fathom wigeon]

hi internet marathon meme poster

[frail tiger]

Don’t do it. If you have questions DM me. Phd is basically indentured servitude with few job prospects in academia. If you don’t intend to get a job in academia a MS is enough

[snow jolt]

What do you do in higher ed?

[thick swift]

this is news to me.

[chrome shore]

a lot of places now-adays care way more about portfolio and experience rather than degrees. ESPECIALLY in the creative space @opal iron

[frail tiger]

I’m a prof

[opal iron]

But i really like my field tho lol

[sharp magnet]

How’d you guys get the marathon stuff around your profile picture?

[snow jolt]

What subject and which country?

[thick swift]

https://discordapp.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[frail tiger]

USA and computer science

[sharp magnet]

Thanks

[chrome shore]

yeah well thats a different story^

[opal iron]

Im doing quant stuff so its really hard to be creative there lol

[chrome shore]

thats dope tho @frail tiger

[thick swift]

I must say this is such a wholesome change of pace. We're all getting to know each other a little.

[fathom wigeon]

my thing is if you're really going to go for a PhD or EdD or some shit like that right, do it for the betterment of humanity as a species. Ultimately we're just blips on a very long timeline of constantly forgotten knowledge anyway, if you're going to die and leave just writing behind, make sure it's aimed at making contact points that can track and trace to an objectively better environment

[hard canyon]

[frail tiger]

Ty I appreciate

[chrome shore]

@opal iron it all depends on ur field, if ur doing stuff that are STEM ofc get a degree

[meager hemlock]

What's up chat of theseus?

[hard canyon]

[snow jolt]

Are you losing your international student enrollment at your institution rn?

[fathom wigeon]

[steep solstice]

or make a hollywood banger of a movie script and live the rest of your days in the bahamas

[meager hemlock]

Even in stem they're care much more about work experience than degree

[frail tiger]

I see you’re well aware of the enrollment crisis lol. Chinese yes but admins are shoring up with Indians.

[snow jolt]

Yeah people are afraid to come here now because of the random and arbitrary visa revocations.

Hell yeah

I don't pay for anyways 😦

[fathom wigeon]

whatever money we make isn't even ours bruh we can't take it with us and we all technically owe it to Elon lmao i'm finna go give out free talks to the youth and feed the homeless with equally morally ambiguously sourced coffee that totally ruins entire real life locations ;d

[snow jolt]

Why do we all owe our money to Elon?

[frail tiger]

Higher Ed is on a downward trajectory. I’d only do a PhD now if it’s a physical science like chemistry or biology. If it’s something tech, get a MS and go start your own business imo. Or grind at a large firm to get you some money to start off with, and then go do a startup or work for a smaller firm where you can climb up. The whole PhD system is not what it used to be, admins have kind of ruined working at universities

[snow jolt]

I constantly see academics complaining about this indentured servant lifestyle and talk about the need for unionization.

in conclusion, get that bread king

At least our brightest minds are going to be poached by superior countries.

[fathom wigeon]

the richest man on the planet surely has dealings with you in some odd 6 degrees of separation, i'd honestly be more hard press of how a person would have managed to avoid it in general

[sacred charm]

[snow jolt]

Give me an example.

[steep solstice]

dont rest the entire worlds problems on your shoulders alone. you can only do so much. your goals are noble but you're still allowed to live and have fun despite the many issues and ills of the world

[ivory heron]

And who knows if UBI will become a thing. So far the consensus is that both parties don't outright oppose it. So far it's not "political "

[fathom wigeon]

nobody said i wasn't having fun poaching from the rich and giving very necessary talks to the youth, someone has to educate them about safety if they're gonna go outside and experiement doing dumb shit too lmao

[onyx sierra]

[chrome shore]

poaching from the rich?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gec4TXdSwM You see this? Rushkoff was comissioned by a handful of rich people to give them a talk, then they changed the subject to their fantasies about the downfall of civilization and how to set up a bunker and security system to keep everyone else out.

yes we had a 7 hour discussion yesterday about how every robot is trans

[compact violet]

why dont they just print out an army of runners

contest mode is gonna be a toggle with the new raid, hoping itll become a toggle for the older ones over time

Ok its tells me to watch a vid

[atomic basin]

chat i dont wanna go to work

[meager hemlock]

I heard trans mentioned

[lime sierra]

you bring up a good point i'll give you that
if it's the same person different shell i guess they'd be genderqueer in some way shape or form?
but gender expressions isn't the same as gender identity so idfk

[heady plover]

Good raids need more of a challenge and master raids are boring

[ornate thunder]

@everyone where is the video

[fathom wigeon]

contest raid really should have just been a toggle but like i get why the system is just like that, even pantheon was kind of cool but i was just very turned away when people still wouldn't know what or how to survive in effectively the same encounters they spent years farming for their red borders

[compact violet]

but u need money for marathon

[thick swift]

https://discordapp.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[fathom wigeon]

you can't be a marathon whale without the moneys

[limber halo]

This is the true motivation

[thick swift]

think of all the juicy cosmetics you can buy with 1 day of hard work

[marble mason]

Where is it ??

[compact violet]

This game will motivate thousands of people to work just to play this game trust

[thick swift]

are you watching the video on discord on your desktop computer? It will not work on mobile.

[snow jolt]

But will I be able to have a juicy avatar?

[blissful trellis]

ive never played a bungie game before are they cool with trans people

[radiant mesa]

For those looking for a game to play before marathon releases I strongly suggest trying out synthetik-

[light scroll]

bungle said the new raid will have a toggle system for higher diff stuff instead of master mode, like contest mode and time trials(like day 1 vesper/sundered first enc) being toggleable and some others and higher tier loot coming from having more of those toggled, and 3 months after the base raids launch its gonna get a hard mode like d1 280/390 raids and prestige levi

[compact violet]

speaking of which, I just got hired at Bungie, lifes so peak

[meager hemlock]

Trans people are in the games, yeah

[spice shell]

we cool.

[lime sierra]

slay

[blissful trellis]

thats nice

[light scroll]

yeah a shitton of bungie devs are queer ye

[limber halo]

Traditionally, I believe so

[ivory heron]

Do you like fishsticks?

[fathom wigeon]

big big if true

[compact violet]

I mean Bungie is the only few progressive developers that are actually progressive and not for a marketing stunt

[meager hemlock]

And that's on burger

[light scroll]

traditionally not so much but bungie these days is much less frat bro culture compared to the halo 2 days

Can you give Osiris big naturals thanks

[ivory heron]

[light scroll]

and oryx and nimbus but we dont like nimbus they dont exist

[compact violet]

I gotta give this feedback to the destiny team, I'll pass it along, thanks

[fathom wigeon]

the space for making video games in general is much more transgender accommodating as a whole anyway. it's also like getting deep into the 21st century, why bother taking away from a community that literally has games as a good healthy medium ;d

[compact violet]

nimbus sucks as a character so much

[light scroll]

oryx and micah are peak tho

[limber halo]

This fuckin rules I didn't know that

[fathom wigeon]

give us "get in the robot shinji" i promise you the big bongo will get my 15 dollars for that single emote lmao

[compact violet]

gosh I'm not sure if I'm allowed to leak the roadmap but....a collab WILL be coming...

[light scroll]

shes in the my friend micah abram book from beyond light, story is about her letters to the traveler as a kid when she was a 10 year old boy or so

[limber halo]

Oh that rocks

[fathom wigeon]

"get on the sparrow guardian" - Ikora for lore entry lmao

[errant echo]

the alfha is for Ps5 to ?

[limber halo]

I gotta read more lore books I'm slacking

[cloud turtle]

he be telling yo mama jokes to zavala i fucken know it

[atomic basin]

yah cayde helped her with it its really awesome

[compact violet]

yes the Aflac is for ps5

[light scroll]

as such she refers to herself as a boy cause its told mostly in the first person, she ended up transitioning before 17, when she was 17 she volunteered for the exo program according to TFS

thank god for that bc most loreheads assumed the clovis researchers shoved her in a masc exo frame after kidnapping her and she rejected it so they settled for a feminine one

[meager hemlock]

That sounds like a horrible experience tf

[light scroll]

which yeah that goes crazy i fw that but also thats a lot of crazy implications better left to twitter fanfics

[compact violet]

that wouldn't be the least evil thing Clovis has done canonically (if true)

that dude is crazy

[limber halo]

Chodevis, hate that guy

[errant grotto]

yo on a real note though, theres no way there wasnt more they couldve done with nimbus

[light scroll]

the my friend book ends with micah being caught by a braytech security guard in a restricted area so thats where the kidnapping stuff was implied from

[errant grotto]

have we had anything to do with neomuna since lightfall?

[worn gyro]

they could have done less, and it would have been better

[compact violet]

barely lol

[cloud turtle]

lmao

[thick swift]

side note, loving your "vegeta's room" avatar there runner

[manic salmon]

hello

[errant grotto]

that makes me incredibly sad

[compact violet]

I don't think much past locations get relevant after their dlc year is over

[errant grotto]

LMAO, thank you fellow runner 🤝

[light scroll]

not counting veil containment and some echoes side stuff yes, neptune hasnt gotten proper content post-launch (except the pvp map with no story bearing)

[worn gyro]

on burger

[light scroll]

honestly, i think bungie will ignore neptune for pve stuff for the foreseeable future

[limber halo]

How much you want to bet the new "Nine" expansion coming out takes place on Pluto because it was number nine

[meager hemlock]

I mean we already got the long boi in the soup

Wait that's not neptune

[light scroll]

lightfall was received beyond awfully i dont think theyll touch it with a ten foot pole anytime soon

[errant grotto]

the whole cloudstrider thing is sick to me, wish we saw way more with it and cloudstrider tech

[deep yacht]

Rohand died for this

[ivory heron]

Anyone like DBZ abridged?

[light scroll]

yeah i fw dbza

[errant grotto]

its peak

[meager hemlock]

I still don't super understand why it was met with that much bad reception

Is it cause queer or tone?

[ivory heron]

Probably

[west grove]

Yo guys can we get the tau ceti on mobile m

[compact violet]

I think it'll take place somewhere more sandy cuz the concept art

[errant grotto]

nah lightfall just was narratively a mess and under delivered a LOT from what i remember

[limber halo]

Story wasn't that good imo but I wanted to see more from Nimbus and Osiris

[somber ridge]

How to have the avatar skin for discord on mobile

[errant grotto]

strand was sick for sure though

[light scroll]

its cause the story just plain sucked, the witness/pyramids arriving in the system felt like a wet fart. nezarec/root concluding made it feel even worse

[meager hemlock]

Yeah that's fair, the story could've been way longer to actually cover the amount of stuff they introduced

[limber halo]

Oh yeah strands rips hard that ruled

[heady plover]

Damn that’s pretty good it always sucked just grinding a raid then never touching it after u have everything

[somber ridge]

Thank u

[gilded pebble]

it’s so nice of the worms to print me a new body if I die that’s like so cool of them. They’re so cool like they didn’t have to do that but they’re like homies you know and they do it. so cool

[compact violet]

The tone, it's a very quick tone shift and jarring too and horribly paced

[thick swift]

didnt see the mobile, you're gonna have to go on desktop discord. mobile discord will not work

[errant grotto]

though I will say RON was a great raid and ill happily die on that hill, even if it was/is too easy

[meager hemlock]

I had fun with it but it did feel a bit like a beach episode of an expansion

[somber ridge]

Ok

https://discordapp.com/quests/1359952298775810048

why is my words being blocked I'm not even saying anything bad 💔

[light scroll]

the story was a fetch quest for endless macguffins that didnt have any explanation, the veil got an explanation in a season and the majority of players still dont know what it is

the radial mast has never been mentioned since nor gotten an explanation

[worn gyro]

lol imagine if lightfall didn't even have strand

[compact violet]

Well you see the radial mast is for

big bwudda is watching

[errant grotto]

thats a terrifying thought

[light scroll]

root to me is an abysmal raid outside of third enc, nezarec is an awful final boss

[compact violet]

I got a hour timeout for saying the goof with a P

[light scroll]

yeah the art and music is good but thats a given for anything in destiny

[errant grotto]

agree to disagree then 🤝

[fathom wigeon]

type 'froghater' in deadstinky 2 i promise you that you cannot voice your dislike for captain jacobs other homies 😦

[slender void]

man why does the alpha need to be america only :c

[light scroll]

nezarec being killable on contest mode with rat king is an affront to everything raid races should be

[compact violet]

I hate root of nightmares because it ruined nezarec character I was waiting for his reveal for so long and he gets a fucking strike raid

[errant grotto]

favorite raid still is still Vow hands down though

[light scroll]

very happy that crotas end and salvations edge turned it around and fixed contest difficulty

[compact violet]

Like he deserves better representation I will never not let this go

[thick swift]

til canada is american

[meager hemlock]

Wasn't witch queen supposed to have strand?

[ivory heron]

I said I'm a turd but with an "a" in the chat by accident and got 60 min as well

[errant grotto]

all i wanted was for nezarec to not look like skinned chicken legs

[limber halo]

I've not done a single d2 raid I don't have enough friends LMAO 😔

[slender void]

ok north america which includes usa and canada? am i mistaken?

[compact violet]

do one of the easy ones then

[spice shell]

Yeah.... I saw that.

[compact violet]

You can see what we get timed out for???

[fathom wigeon]

what timezone are you, i can play some in like 8 hours or something like that

[limber halo]

We could probably knock Crota out but I think they changed it for D2 to require more than 3 people right?

[worn gyro]

bungie has spoken ab this, it was concepted for wq initially but it got pushed back to LF very early on before reaching full development in favor of light subclasses getting a revamp

[meager hemlock]

I got so confused cause like why is Gwyneth Paltrow banned here

[radiant mesa]

Butane

Torch

[errant grotto]

(i hate vog)

[thick swift]

im just defending our canadian homies who would probably take offense being lumped in with "americans"

[light scroll]

this is from a joe blackburn interview but i forget which one, bungie was really open it

[meager hemlock]

Makes sense makes sense

[spice shell]

I'm not that mean

[fathom wigeon]

technically you do the entire raid with only 2 but it is much sweatier than before, it can also very much one of those like 4:2 carry raids if players solely want their loot and NOT wanna learn to play the game

[slender void]

see that is understandable, excuse my for my rudeness

[compact violet]

Why is goof with a P and 🐷🏇 (clash of clans) gets you muted

[radiant mesa]

That makes me wonder in the gameplay trailers who made their runner named jhonmarathon lmao

[lusty citrus]

Figured out I was a woman around when Lightfall dropped but Nimbus was sowritten so bad it delayed my coming out by a couple months 💔

[limber halo]

I want to play raids for fun not to get carried lmao

[spice shell]

There's some weird stuff. I don't have access to it though.

[errant grotto]

😭😭😭

[thick swift]

all good, im sorry international runners are left out of the alpha. hope the beta makes up for it.

[meager hemlock]

Goop

[limber halo]

Now this...... This is awful sorry bud 😭

[light scroll]

if strand shipped with wq it probably woulda been missing a few verbs cause bungie did say that the light subclasses had way more verbs than stasis cause of how y1 designed them and it wouldnt be the norm, only for strand to have more or equal amount of verbs with em

[errant grotto]

i honestly didnt dislike nimbus if ima be real

[blissful trellis]

does anyone know if theres gonna be crossplay with consoles

[fathom wigeon]

1k sherpas, 1700 full clears let me know when you want to learn stuff ;d

[compact violet]

yeah

[blissful trellis]

huge

[errant grotto]

dear lord that poor chair

[radiant mesa]

Tbh you won't have fun doing them then as the new raids have some pretty shitty nieche mechanics, Me having done some before

for context my very first raid run, the taken king- took 9 hours

[light scroll]

yes, pc will be able to crossplay as well but if a pc player is playing with console players itll put those console players into a pc lobby

[limber halo]

I prefer dungeons tbh

[compact violet]

basically like how destiny 2 crucible matchmaking works

[light scroll]

ye and most pvp games

[atomic basin]

does anyone know if we have to reap what we sow tomorrow

[fathom wigeon]

to be real the best approach to learning to raid like that is to literally join everyone eleses teaching run, you'll run into some good characters and some bad ones too but ultimately if you play with the intention of learning a new role or a more optimal stylized approach to the encounters you're definitely in a good spot

[radiant mesa]

Duality was a fun dungeon

[ruby dawn]

Guys where I watch the video?

[compact violet]

Yes, we will. The time will be coming.

[limber halo]

Not if you delude yourself hard enough!

[thick swift]

until retirement unfortunately.

[glacial radish]

Oh boy

[errant grotto]

reminds me how my first raid was leviathan which took me like 6 hours LMAO it was a terrible time

[compact violet]

why was that deleted that was a awesome sauce message

[fathom wigeon]

high key i was so downbad i had my tv beside my bed playing on a ps4 and i didn't move from my bed rot position for like years.

[light scroll]

i like every raid in d2 besides root and crota, i think that raids besides those are some of the best fps stuff out there hands down

[errant grotto]

I respect the grind though icl

[candid magnet]

Chicken Jockey

[compact violet]

Flint and steel

[radiant mesa]

Took so long cuz I was a blueberry and they brought 5 other blueberries in to do the raid with, nobody got anything worth the time it took either

[alpine fable]

yo yall

[light scroll]

salvations edge is such a fantastic experience

[limber halo]

What would you say is the raid that would be easiest to solo

[mental scarab]

If youre talking about the video to get the avatar banner you have to be on desktop and its in Quests

[candid magnet]

THE NETHER

[compact violet]

Destiny ,1 crotas end

[timid dew]

Do you have to do anything special to gain access to the alpha or just fill out the survey?

[thick swift]

https://discordapp.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[lusty citrus]

NAH dw lmao

[light scroll]

root of nightmares is the only full soloable raid without insane rng or use of 1 frame tech stuff

[compact violet]

Fill it out

[thick swift]

survey, results start in 6ish days

[radiant mesa]

My favorite raid so far is the one where ya go into the exo labs, tryna remember the name

[errant grotto]

wish i still had a genuine reason to do Vow man, so damn great

[light scroll]

deep stone crypt

[limber halo]

Loading it up rn, remember you did this to me

[hot thicket]

Hey is anyone else having an issue verifying their email with Bungie? Despite playing D2 for years apparently my email was never verified, but I also can't get the verification email to send. I've tried several times over several days and I wanna play the alpha :c

[compact violet]

Oh Lord I hope I score good on the test *nervous gulp *

[radiant mesa]

Yiiih, that ones got all the good stuff

[glacial radish]

Where’d your pfp border come from?

[ruby dawn]

Yes but it says, use the discord app to watch the video, ok but how?

[limber halo]

I really wanted to do Deep Stone for the vibes, is that one solo-able?

[thick swift]

in desktop discord app or desktop web browser discord.

[compact violet]

No lol

[errant grotto]

though ill always be haunted by my Day 1 vow experience, got rhulk in final stand in lfg and we wiped with like less than 1% hp left 5 minutes before reset

[light scroll]

the full soloable raids in d2 are vault of glass and root of nightmares but vog needs you to be hyperlucky and follow some frankly insane techs

[ruby dawn]

Only in desktop then?

[fathom wigeon]

got very involved with wanting to learn how to "fix" long term problems in destiny so i went back to school, academia definitely is not my strong suit but i've done more than enough to learn exactly how it all works, breaking down the systems and understanding how the game changes and the whole life cycle, if anything i truly learned what it was to be a systems analyst without the trouble shoot code testing suite portion stuff

[mental scarab]

Correct

[limpid umbra]

how get ?

[compact violet]

Go to your discord quests you can watch a video, it doesn't work on mobile

[ruby dawn]

Okok because I don't have my PC now

Thx everyone I was very confused

[fathom wigeon]

DSC is also full soloable, it has been cleared multiple times in theory last wish is soloable with the exception of specifically vault but everything else has been done

[thick swift]

yes, mobile doesnt work and there are no mobile workarounds

[light scroll]

first enc soloable with out of bounds exploits, second enc soloable, third enc soloable with out of bounds exploits, fourth enc soloable with transcendant hunter stuff but idk if the damage needed is possible this season

[light scroll]

ye i forgot dsc was back on the menu with tfs at first

[thick swift]

i love how ive been actively helping and people still go straight to you

[limber halo]

Too bad I eat drywall with a side of crayons (main titan)

[compact violet]

RIGHT LIKE WTF

[toxic osprey]

Do yall fw video games

[limber halo]

For sure

[compact violet]

I hate them, I go on Twitter and cry about them all day

[thick swift]

i fw video games that don't want me (all unreleased)

[compact violet]

[blissful trellis]

apparently the older marathons are free on steam
i kinda wanna try them to get pre-hyped but they dont have the same aesthetic as this one

[thick swift]

do it for the lore

[compact violet]

the lore is still canon to it tho

[compact violet]

After all, you don't wanna be stuck in the dream, right my security officer...?

[vast chasm]

Is rdp possible?

[errant grotto]

you should “marathon” all of them

[fathom wigeon]

oh it's actually still cannonical to the original marathon experiences?

[thick swift]

remote desktop?

[compact violet]

horse nod gif

[edgy elk]

I've actually heard that there's a version you can download that's better than the steam version that's also free. Mandalore gaming mentioned it in his video on Marathon

[errant grotto]

HA

[vast chasm]

Ya

[atomic basin]

I know the perfect song to make a durandal edit to but I'm lazy

[fathom wigeon]

i really might just download later today and give it a few run throughs on my deadstinky clam discord

hear my teammates get all hella frusted with me playing a game older than some of them lmao

[atomic basin]

https://youtu.be/c2t0UljO_AY?si=nyDER4mCFLNiE9dX

[compact violet]

bc new marathon isn't a sequel or reboot so I think it's like in the middle

[glacial radish]

Bitchin

[thick swift]

i don't see why not. if discord desktop app doesnt work in rdp try discord desktop web browser in rdp

[mystic wolf]

Aren't they both from Aleph One? What's the difference?

[glacial radish]

Now all these fancy roles, where do I procure such a thing

[compact violet]

Aleph one is basically remastered

[blissful trellis]

were they always free or did they become free to generate hype?

[thick swift]

upper left channels and roles

[errant grotto]

wait what do you mean classic marathon has an ios port???

[compact violet]

Community helped to make them free and Bungie allowed it since I think they were stuck on MAC

[glacial radish]

Who needs eyes when people just tell me things

[atomic basin]

Marathon needs to be more woke

[thick swift]

😭

[light scroll]

still shouldnt have been named marathon tho! i hate reboots/sequels that use the original name!

[vast chasm]

Okay, that's fine then👍

[compact violet]

wait till June 2026

[fathom wigeon]

oh so new marathon is just in universe experience of the original marathon world

[compact violet]

sonic 06 and call of duty:

[candid magnet]

They weren’t always on steam, but the download for them has been around for years

[light scroll]

marathon was originally made for macOS, not surprising

[edgy elk]

oh, if they're both the same thing, then maybe it's just a matter of where you download it from! I just assumed thy because he didn't mention the steam version that he may not think it's as good. he said that they're all based on the free source code that was release years ago

[blissful trellis]

marathon is critique on capitalism or something like that (real and true) so its got to be woke

[fathom wigeon]

yea looks like i'll have to actually play that lmao this weekend, no runescape dragonwilds for me at least not like heavily

[atomic basin]

The actual marathon map is going to be the one that directly continues the og games plot

[light scroll]

every story game ever

[blissful trellis]

real and true

[errant grotto]

yk i could just boot up my old mac atp

[edgy elk]

not really. in the original games you are on a ship called "The Marathon" that never makes it to Tau Ceti 4. new marathon is set on Tau Ceti

[glacial radish]

Im excited to see what's next but I really don't understand why it's "Marathon". Unless there's some deep connection with Durandal. Even then, seems like a stretch

[atomic basin]

I'm assuming we're allowed to talk about this considering skarrow did on stream but the marathon map is going to be like a dungeon/raid with a boss at the end

[tight heath]

One of the unreleased maps is the marathon ship

[compact violet]

I thought og Marathon is about fate and the philosophical nature what is considered a god (and capitalism)

[edgy elk]

yes, something like that.

[thick swift]

you broke the non existent nda straight to jail

[atomic basin]

Blame skarrow not i

[compact violet]

Bungie WILL be handling you

[eager crater]

How i watched

[tight heath]

It sounds like in general the more we explore and discover stuff the more connected to the original marathon this game will be

[eager crater]

The video to get the avatar decoration pls telll

[thick swift]

https://discordapp.com/quests/1359952298775810048

[glacial radish]

My guess is that Durandal's rampancy has something to do with this, maybe he thinks he's god and runs this virtual world and people want a piece of it. Idk just spitballs

[patent cradle]

This is going to be my first extraction shooter. Can't wait , love Bungie.

[tight heath]

But idk I wasn’t gaming in 1998

[compact violet]

We're video?

[eager crater]

Yes

[glacial radish]

Gotta use desktop

[frail jolt]

i'm too eve online'd
i thought tau ceti 4 meant 4th planet in the tau ceti system. no?

[compact violet]

I'm on mobile does it not work??

[eager crater]

Were the video??

[tight heath]

Bro where is video link

[vague bolt]

hello

[thick swift]

not on mobile, no way working on mobile. desktop discord or desktop discord web browser only.

[fair bay]

use a browser then

[tight heath]

Guys video link pls bro

[fathom wigeon]

is TC4 the same as TC?

[thick swift]

@compact violet I CANT

[tight heath]

Hello hot dog

[glacial radish]

Durandal goes rampant and makes it there somehow? dunno, lots of possibilities

[edgy elk]

do not ask me

[compact violet]

Not even reading comprehension just actual vision curses atp

[spice chasm]

I know its been said before but I think its funny how the people whove played it like it, the ones who havnt hate it and like 80/90% of the hate about it isnt about whats in the game itself. Its either the company or surrounding games, not whats in the game.

[blissful trellis]

what shade of green is the marathon color
whats it called

[glacial radish]

Or maybe this "resistance" is trying to find Durandal's core or something and use him to fight back against big bad meany corpos?

[tight heath]

100%

[edgy elk]

in my sentence, yeah, I was just being lazy. and now I have to clarify. so I still didn't get to be lazy lol

[compact violet]

Lime green (?)
Neon green (?)

[limber halo]

I've been calling it Y2K green

[errant grotto]

not sure but its fantastic

[fathom wigeon]

'preeeeesh

[tight heath]

Seems to just be butthurt destiny players that have never known a non-angry day in their life

[blissful trellis]

is it brat green

[thick swift]

My favorite niche internet microcelebrity says chartreuse whatever that means

[compact violet]

oh no the xcx fans are breaching

[edgy elk]

some people said they thought one of the voices in one of the trailers was him

[fathom wigeon]

MCMURDERING STUFF IN VIDEO GAMES BUT MAKE IT BRAT

[errant grotto]

think brat is a bit deeper of a shade

[glacial radish]

Alright, time to tune into 12 hour Marathon lore deep dives to piece this together

[tight heath]

I thought that was more of a pink

[tight heath]

GL soldier

[limber halo]

Yeah I need someone to sit me next to a fireplace and explain lore to me for 4 hours

Nice work

[lethal basin]

‘Electric green’ is the literal term

[compact violet]

yeah whatever this means 😁

[glacial radish]

I just hope there is a real connection and this isnt just the name being tossed around to garner attention

[errant grotto]

😭

[fathom wigeon]

not for nothing i think bungie really cooked with the worm shirt, and i'm typically not a buyer of that stuff from the site

[compact violet]

well apparently they're just now getting started making lore due to skillup review so honestly we could deadass affect lore

[thick swift]

it means HOT RUNNER SUMMER Y'ALL WOOOOO

[tight heath]

Wrong sticker you fool

[glacial radish]

Also Marathon 1&2 are free on Steam rn

[compact violet]

Durandal was right about you humans.

[limber halo]

This is becoming gen chat be careful y'all

[tight heath]

We’re so back with image spam

[errant grotto]

why would they make this a sticker 😭

[edgy elk]

I mean, writers can do whatever they want for a story 🤷‍♀️

[compact violet]

To let you know if you hawk the last tuah

[glacial radish]

Doesnt mean its not garbage, have some standards

[blissful trellis]

ive played a bunch of cyberpunk games before watching the cinematic
its not quite cyberpunk it looks too clean but the general bleak-ness is still there and i love this vibe in games
does it count as cyberpunk or is it some other future subgenre

Man the art style for this game is unmatched

[compact violet]

They call it graphic realism /graphic simplified

[limber halo]

It's cyberpunk for sure

[thick swift]

you, you think this is bad? hahahaha, vietnam flashbacks

[mental scarab]

I wonder what type of prompt can be used to create this art style to make a desktop background
