[west lion]

level 60

[indigo patio]

Dormitories gold boss is an amazing way of going from low level gear to high level gear

[latent flicker]

I literally am playing the game wrong

[vast echo]

this

[indigo patio]

I did it with sponsored kit went all the way to purple gun

[ripe matrix]

i've got 21 exfils so far from outpost, and i've raided both the command wing and the master key door about 4-5 times now

[hollow plaza]

so am i. im still getting greens and blues like 😭

[vast echo]

and if you can get 2 yellow and a green card between orientation + dormitories + kill boss

then you get armoury room too

[final yacht]

Just do bosses or outpost, it’s very simple. But for golds, I’ve only gotten them from bosses

[latent flicker]

I got a blue shield today and I felt like I won the lottery

[balmy nebula]

wait only 4 times and youre upset yo udidnt see a gold?

[ripe matrix]

i've only killed tox warden twice so maybe that's it

[indigo patio]

Level?

[balmy nebula]

golds arent supposed to be guaranteed lol

[lament pendant]

got this john at level 15 imagine dying

[hollow plaza]

only time i get them is only ranking up factions and purple bags. everywhere else its so bad for me 😂

[ripe matrix]

those two places only that amount, but i've also raided the rest of pinwheel in at least 15 of those runs and i've killed tox warden twice now

[final yacht]

I’ve gotten 100% drop rate of golds from bosses so far

[indigo patio]

Level 15 is criminal

[latent flicker]

I honestly don't know offhand but probably not very high. I should just try to grind out some solo contracts

[indigo patio]

Iv had a lot more luck giving up on contracts and grubbing outpost

[ripe matrix]

if i'm not raiding pinwheel outpost just kinda feels like it ain't worth doing so I always make my way in there at some point

[indigo patio]

The game is so much better with premade teammates and a vc

[torn hare]

Wow

[hollow plaza]

why i do crew fill. just to have a bit more fun

[indigo patio]

Shame noone proximity chats or voice chats in fill

[vast echo]

yep

[indigo patio]

I always try but its impossible to find ppl who wanna work together

[ripe matrix]

idk. I would've just expected something gold by now, be it salvage or a mod or anything really. more than 1 cryo archive key would be nice too but i'm guessing there's a difference in rarity drop rates between solo and trios

[indigo patio]

Maybe at higher levels its easier because people care more idk

[vast echo]

also if you have a healthy vault and run solo, I try take extra green/blue shield(s) and patches just depends what I have left over as I'm usually max 400/400 and drop for teammates

[hollow plaza]

right!??! I keep wiping 2 out of the 3 in teams at times and teammates? where are they? oh dead from a 1v1 or dead to a bot 😭

[candid crystal]

Anyone do the mida quests I'm wondering what is the last one

[vast echo]

I feel it gives you a better chance of surviving rather than selling it

[brittle herald]

tbf the gold pack and gold weapon mods were the first ive seen

and im lvl 32

[vast echo]

as mostly people are running free loadout

[candid crystal]

I'm on like 5/6 and I'm wondering is there more after 6/6

[indigo patio]

Yup plus with fill i have genuinly had some crazy ass movie style betrayals thst i rez a tm they steal the loot from my 1v3 and just exfill alone

[brittle herald]

I havent had bad luck with kits and gear/vault till the update the other day with pvp. I still had my free backpacks and enhanced weapons from vendors for a week

[latent flicker]

May God hold you close and keep you safe

[brittle herald]

and thats with me dying a healthy amount as well

[vast echo]

😂

[brittle herald]

robot foot

[indigo patio]

True

[hollow plaza]

i had that too 😂 he just came took his loot and said bye like 5 mins into teh run like why tf? its a team game not a solo if your in crew fill

[brittle herald]

are thiefs feet also modeled after the sekiguchi designer person

????!!

[minor gyro]

no

[brittle herald]

LOL

https://tenor.com/view/walter-walter-white-falling-walter-white-sad-hank-death-breaking-bad-gif-11929995292147864802

[brittle herald]

i appreciate the serious answer

[hollow plaza]

why we talking feet.... 🧍‍♂️

[brittle herald]

i thought it would be funny... im sorry

[indigo patio]

Bro dropped the atomic bomb of conversation enders

[brittle herald]

ong

[fringe wharf]

Bungie discord

[vast echo]

haha

[hollow plaza]

frrr

[hollow plaza]

what

[pure prairie]

Now I go eep

[brittle herald]

im rooking it

[indigo patio]

Yur thats enough discord for the day

[brittle herald]

dead

[hollow plaza]

rook died

[cunning cairn]

Is the ARG over or still going?

[hollow plaza]

not untill the 15th

resusmes then

[waxen hull]

once i hit permission level 2 what do i do?

[candid crystal]

Get rid of that blue mod

[zealous falcon]

get rid of the whole gun tbh, give it to me, its a useless gun anyway, you could just give it to me

[onyx ferry]

so true 😭

[candid crystal]

Sadly it would go back to him

But yeah jus give him the gun every run he is Arachne he will pop off

[zealous falcon]

not if i pull it out of his cold dead hands

[tame stream]

you know it only occured to me last night that the weapon color changes with the mods implanted

[candid crystal]

Ngl I was trying to do an exfil Mission earlier my random picked up my quest item then Dcd

[ripe matrix]

not looking for a straight up answer but where would I go to look for the information to complete the new contracts?

index?

[candid crystal]

So I brought clankers to him killed him and looted his shit

To do my mission

[candid crystal]

Ngl I jus fucking YouTube it

[zealous falcon]

im pawing at my friend to see how much it would cost to get a prop replica of the shotty from her

[ripe matrix]

fair enough

[dawn sun]

The information is hidden in the Index entries, if you wanted to try to find some yourself

[ripe matrix]

I figured as much but I can't seem to figure out the formatting

[candid crystal]

Like I always try to do my contracts and i get lost give up after 2-3 attempts then YouTube it

[cunning cairn]

Cool! Thanks for answer

[candid crystal]

Especially outpost ones

[ripe matrix]

oh sorry not the in-game ones I meant the discord ones

those I figure out just fine

[hollow plaza]

np!

[candid crystal]

Oh shoot yeah those arg ones like he said index you got this good luck

[ripe matrix]

I dunno if I do got this ,_,

i'm seeing the digits within parentheses but idk how it wants me to format or string them

[latent flicker]

If you look up how v4 UUIDs are supposed to be structured, it might help you get started

They have a specific format

[vague crow]

Could someone please clarify how to clear the DAC contracts on the contract page?

[dawn sun]

What Jairus said. They're all in the format of UUIDs if that helps

[ripe matrix]

yeah, I gathered that and tried inputting it in the right format but I got another rejection from NULL

unsure if I missed a letter or what

[muted orchid]

game needs ranked to drop asap so i can bring good shit and not get filled with two free kit teammates who die instantly

[ripe matrix]

play solo

[muted orchid]

games not even half as fun solo lol

[ripe matrix]

I have waaaay more fun solo than in trios

[muted orchid]

obviously was made with trios in mind its much more fun

[ripe matrix]

load into outpost with 6 people on the map and I start counting the kills as I rack them up and get more bold as the tally gets higher

[dawn sun]

I also prefer solo, but that's cause I hate having to talk to people I don't know

[waxen hull]

does anyone have the third one of these yet?

[ripe matrix]

I just don't trust my teammates on top of not wanting to talk to them

[dawn sun]

This is your personalized DAC. Your Discord UUID is tied to it, so might be wise not to share it. If you got another one, its cause you leveled it up

[vast echo]

if you got it spare take an extra green/blue shield(s) and patch/rechargers, if you're vault is full. Gives you a better chance and have found players to be more responsive albeit no mics most of the time

[ripe matrix]

yeah green shields are cheap when you start getting good runs in

[waxen hull]

why thank you haha, what is the dac for?

[ripe matrix]

lets you interact with the cryo archives ARG

[iron swallow]

Wh

[ripe matrix]

you input it on the cryo archives website and it acts as a link between your discord and the ARG

[iron swallow]

Where did the contracts channel just come from

[tardy pelican]

its been there

[waxen hull]

this is the most detailed arg holy shit

[ripe matrix]

omg hiii

[tardy pelican]

hi :3

[ripe matrix]

Bungie loves their complicated over-the-top ARGs and puzzles

honestly one of my favourite things about them

this kinda stuff is awesome to see completed

[dawn lodge]

Are we stuck again? Just got off work.

[near vortex]

Hard locked until Sunday last I heard

[slim jacinth]

Damn

[near vortex]

Might be getting the map next week though

[dawn lodge]

Oh damn that's a bit of a bummer, did we complete it all or just still no hints for the next step?

[crude kelp]

no hints till sunday I think

[ripe matrix]

oh my god did I have the fucking entries backwards for Paper Work

[near vortex]

Not quite sure. I think we’ve done everything we can and then the next part unlocks

[ripe matrix]

I HAD THEM BACKWARDS NO WONDER THE CODE WASN'T WORKING

[dawn lodge]

Backwards won't work btw lilac

[crude kelp]

🥀

[dawn lodge]

Lol and thanks for the recap

[ripe matrix]

1fbe8bc6-9c44-3d4a-44bf-e73a8ee93fde this is what I had

[wary kayak]

how are these found?

[ripe matrix]

I found Paper Work within the index. bunch of the files had digits and letters in parentheses that string together into a UUID

[jaunty ravine]

unlocked texts from the archive

[wary kayak]

ty

[shell lodge]

this have anything to do with the arg?

[elfin hazel]

i think they are keys for the cryo map

[wide patrol]

what the item description say

[weak basin]

its for a contract

[shell lodge]

cant tell u coz i liteerally am unable to grab it

[wide patrol]

someone elses contract then

[south pine]

I threw out my keys fml

[wide patrol]

Camp it

[fervent swallow]

This is a key needed in MIDA contact, Protect/Destroy 5 iirc

[jovial mountain]

So is the ARG stuff done for now?

[sick stream]

Hey how useful would a figma board of the entries sorted by entry number and other such be? I'm making one for fun but was wondering if anyone wants to have access to such a thing as well

[tribal cave]

probably nothing to do until Sunday; maybe more contracts, but we have no evidence of that yet

[faint pewter]

I think so? Think it was discovered that there’s a timegate until the 15th

[strong cargo]

Do we know how long contracts last?

[red scroll]

WHICH IS TOMMOROWW

TECHICALLY

[light sparrow]

Cryo Archive launch on 18th

Trust me my uncle is John Marathon

[red scroll]

no thats too early

i want my map in a Month

[light sparrow]

What?

We know we're getting it in the 2nd half of March lol

[red scroll]

no actuallyi changed my mind i want my maps in installments buddy

[crude kelp]

Do the maps come with a payment plan

[light sparrow]

Pay in 4

[crude kelp]

gonna need a loan

[frozen urchin]

It'll likely launch 3rd week of March tbh

[light sparrow]

So the 18th of march

Mhm mhmm

[jovial mountain]

yeah i think tuesday reset most likely

[wheat glen]

Where we at now boys

We done with the arg?

[red scroll]

putting a down payment on cryo acrhive

[red scroll]

On the 15 there is bound to be more stuff

[light sparrow]

Tuesday is the bungie day

[red scroll]

this was a relaxation for the devs and us

[minor gyro]

making a contract with satan to afford marathon infil ticket

[crude kelp]

8 Billion % APR

[wheat glen]

I have 4 Marathon.02 keys and 3 Marathon.03 keys ready for it to drop

[half spire]

i was the destroyer lmao

[red scroll]

i got a dollar

[wheat glen]

And ah ok

[half spire]

i hope you enjoyed my kit

[wheat glen]

I just keep spamming the pinwheel loot room

Me and the boys are rich

[half spire]

its just the strongbox and the key room right?

ive been having kinda ass pulls from it tonight

[wheat glen]

In the room it’s just a box

But always 2-3 purples

And sometimes 1-2 yellow

[half spire]

i did get a marathon key (that the fucking guy i just pinged killed me for lmao)

like 5 minutes after i got out of that raid he posted my key lmao

[safe cosmos]

Im between running pinwheel or just banging my head against marsh trying to do lockdown

solo

[half spire]

lockdown is actually a sick event

all the ships crashing is such a cool look

[wheat glen]

I feel like the pinwheel is much better

[half spire]

plus the actual lockdown box is super imposing

[wheat glen]

It’s more consistent

Lockdown is rng it even shows up

And take ALOT longer

[half spire]

yeah but its either lockdown or anomaly

[wheat glen]

And that’s tough win for him I guess lol

[safe cosmos]

lockdown solo feels much safer ill be honest. barely anyone left by the 3rd one and pinwheel solo has the downside of vent camping assassins with wstrs

[half spire]

which i think is bugged rn?

[pallid eagle]

I got a prestige marathon key yesterday as rook, and a squad saw me in there; I just SCRAMMED

[safe cosmos]

I tried looting command room as a a rook, found a full dead team, looted them, then didnt know how to get out before the match ended 😭

[half spire]

me and my buddy did a pinwheel run and like 4 rooks tried to ambush us at once

one guy knifed me, i got rezzed

and i demanded a rematch

he folded

[wheat glen]

My group had to kill 6 rooks in the pinwheel

They’re like rats lol

[safe cosmos]

i always kill other rooks. their loot is mine too. only rook that wants to team is one with good loot

[half spire]

then i got jumped by a gal sitting in that box room below the key

claymores everywhere

[wheat glen]

How is the loot in the lockdown vs that loot room in Pinwheel?

[pallid eagle]

tbf it is safer solo cause it seems like no one wants to bother doing lockdowns in that queue

[wheat glen]

About the same I’m assuming?

[half spire]

lockdown ups everything in the area by one rarity i think

since loose loot just on counters was blues and purples

[wheat glen]

Interesting

[keen coral]

where do you find these bruh

[half spire]

wardens, purple+ keys, command strongbox

commanders rarely

[atomic hawk]

hey runners

just got the traxus vandal skin. I'm so happy

[pallid eagle]

is a lockdown random? cause I've been trying to get one for the past few days and they are just not spawning. I also haven't seen an anomaly event for what feels like since launch

[wheat glen]

I did probably 20+ Pinwheel runs with the boys tonight

Specifically the loot room next to the command wing

[atomic hawk]

the scout rifle thing is starting to grow on me

[half spire]

the box itself is pretty juiced too

[half spire]

you should find the br

[keen coral]

the locked one right?

[wheat glen]

Yes it is rng

[half spire]

it feels so nice

[wheat glen]

Yea

[half spire]

at 10 minutes it has its spawn roll iirc

[keen coral]

ty

[atomic hawk]

I think I've got it in my vault. atm I'm just doing sponsor runs to get the skins lol

[wheat glen]

Word I’ll try it tomorrow I just don’t like the rng aspect of it tbh lol

[atomic hawk]

did my first solo extract, got a few kills, felt pretty happy as someone who's terminally employed and sucks at these games lmao

[half spire]

gotta pack antivirus

[atomic hawk]

I've noticed that the corner camping assassin players actually seem to suck really bad. even worse than me. so that's good

[wheat glen]

It seems whenever I go into Dire specifically for a lockdown they never spawn

[half spire]

find the key somewhere, then disable the field

then you can decode box

lots and lots of pve spawns

[wheat glen]

But when I don’t bring a anti and doing contracts it always does lol

[half spire]

it pops open and it moves for a second and third time

idk if the loot escalates or not

[wheat glen]

Does it move POI?

[half spire]

yep

its a very obvious call when it shuts down though of course

[wheat glen]

Word

[half spire]

lmao that tends to be why they do it

[pallid spindle]

it only starts at 15m

[half spire]

no shame to them

[atomic hawk]

seems like it lol. I'm starting to get the hang of vandal's movement and her cannon so they didn't really see what was coming

[half spire]

but ive just knifed so many of them at this point

my beloved destroyer with 100 melee damage

[sudden topaz]

I am guilty of knife fight assassin solo runs

[atomic hawk]

I wanna try recon but I've heard she's not the best for solos

is that true?

[half spire]

i dont think any of the shells are bad

you get a TAD for your ult which is nice

and the drone is good when it works

[atomic hawk]

hmm oki. I'll try her once I've got bored of vandal then

[half spire]

the real helpful thing is popping shields leaving a blood trail

[atomic hawk]

oooooooo

seems better for trios but that sounds good

[half spire]

i think if they fix the pathfinding on the drone and buff her ult just a little bit she'd be one of the best solo shells

[atomic hawk]

this is only my second extraction game, and the second video game I've played in literal months (the other being re9) so I'm just trying to get a feel for games again

[vague crow]

Guys, I'm a bit confused about this discord contract system. Are these to do with the ARG? Do we submit something in a DM to NULL to complete them? I've done a search online but haven't found any useful info about these.

[half spire]

/contract command

[final pivot]

we are honored to have you

[half spire]

enter the hash discovered

[vague crow]

/contract

[half spire]

in a different chat

if you go to leaderboard you can also enter it there

this one has like no perms for some reason

[regal saffron]

I might be dumb but whats the breach protocol emblem in game from?

[vague crow]

Ah, I see it. But where do we get the codes to enter?

[atomic hawk]

lol thanks. not sure if serious or not

[vague crow]

The contracts themselves are also a puzzle, so is this something folks are still figuring out?

[tranquil oak]

just got a marathon 6 key

[ember sandal]

ty for your service doing this stuff because im too lazy

[atomic hawk]

it y'all ever see a vandal with a fineline skin that kinda sucks, that's me 😌

[tranquil oak]

red item

[half spire]

they are solved, but i encourage you to try and solve them yourself

you can find the answers here though

[vague crow]

So do you look for the answers on the cryosystems website?

[half spire]

yep

[vague crow]

Ah, I got it. You're a gem, thanks @half spire

[half spire]

[half spire]

juicy juicy

afaik thats the only contraband item

[jovial cloud]

whats news?

[ripe matrix]

there's also the Durandal Snippet

[half spire]

oh?

[ripe matrix]

not my photo but a guy found it yesterday

or maybe the day before

the week's been blending together

[jovial cloud]

where do you get it?

[ripe matrix]

found it on Perimeter, idk where exactly

[jovial cloud]

ok

[ember sandal]

tbh im kinda worried about the playerbase lowering everyday so soon guys 😭

[half spire]

snippet of what i wonder

[half spire]

its st patricks day weekend in america

[robust tundra]

You should give this to me

[ember sandal]

the hate hivemind genuinely did some damage

[half spire]

people will be drinking

and going out

since st patricks proper is on a tuesday

[ember sandal]

i mean im not even talking about that, like generally from the past week its been dropping

[half spire]

steam charts only show maybe half the playerbase

[ruby silo]

you're looking at only steam charts

need to account for console playerbases as well

[ember sandal]

sure but realistically console players are dropping too 😭

[ripe matrix]

the player count isn't even dropping that much. the peak today is higher than yesterday

[half spire]

for one, a niche game is going to have a small audience

[ripe matrix]

and that's to be expected a week after launch

[ruby silo]

^^^

[half spire]

for two, as long as the game can cover server hosting itll keep existing

[undone flint]

itll spike when cryo drops

then go down again

[ruby silo]

just let sony and bungie do their thing. they aint gonna let this game die so easily

[half spire]

destiny 2 still exists and it has an even smaller playerbase

[ember sandal]

im js saying the hate did some damage like, realistically the game shouldve been atleast over 100k on drop

[ember sandal]

well.. d2 is kind of dead

[ripe matrix]

sure, but it's proving itself as a really solid game

[half spire]

i mean no shade but they kinda picked a poor release window

[atomic hawk]

fwiw I think this game's player base trends older, so trends employed. personally i only played 3 hours total during the week because i have other commitments and i suspect that's the same for many players

[half spire]

bingo

[ripe matrix]

give it time. when cryo archives drops i'm sure the count will spike

[undone flint]

terrible release window

[sudden topaz]

I don't think it'll spike that much maybe 5k+?

[undone flint]

slay the spire 2, really?

[ruby silo]

most game reviewers aren't even reviewing until cryo drops (if im not mistaken)

[ember sandal]

you might be right, dont most extract shooters have older playerbases

[undone flint]

y

[ripe matrix]

nah. knowing Bungie they'll pull some absolutely wild shit out of their ass for the cryo archive mechanics and lore and we'll see a decent influx

[ember sandal]

like i swear only old men play tarkov

[ruby silo]

^^^

[undone flint]

press button and wait mechanic

[half spire]

i think more importantly nobody is going to claim that something like tarkov failed

[atomic hawk]

iirc bungie said to hold off until then. or many reviewers chose to. not sure exactly which

[half spire]

because it has similar playercounts

[ripe matrix]

I mean I was there when Salvation's Edge dropped and that was a fucking wild experience

think it drew in quite a lot of people too

[half spire]

i think we will see more destiny raid mechanics implemented

[ember sandal]

tarkov players are shockingly loyal too it 😭

[ripe matrix]

not expecting THAT level of mechanics but I wouldn't be surprised if they had something similar to maybe DSC

[ruby silo]

the first. i have a feeling that when bungie releases cryo the overall look of the game will change

[undone flint]

wipe mechanic in spht boss fight

[atomic hawk]

everyone I've spoken to that likes marathon loves marathon though. so I think it'll always have a core dedicated playerbase

[half spire]

i mean if we wanna be technical most raid bosses are just

"stand here"

"shoot thing"

[atomic hawk]

the aesthetic, the lore, the vibes, the cyberpunk girls lol

it's all awesome

[final pivot]

assuming im being flippant is crazy. im not.

[sudden topaz]

The average player doesn't want to wait 2-3 weeks for "the game to be good". Trying to get new players to come to the game to reach endgame through harsh pvp isn't that appealing if they don't want it already.
Those of us that play know the game is good and that's already indicative of the user review scores.

[half spire]

"move object"

[ripe matrix]

I want the compilers to be such a fucking menace that teams start ganging up on them over deciding to kill each other

[ruby silo]

the game also has SOLID player reviews rn. currently sitting at 18k very positive. it's not an issue with the game it's moreso the audience

[half spire]

i think the compiler will be the least of cryo archives problems

[ember sandal]

im just worried that it wont be able to have a large enough loyal fanbase after some time and then the sony gods end it

[ruby silo]

or timing

[half spire]

its been shown too much

[ripe matrix]

PvE should be hard enough on cryo to push teams towards cooperation

[atomic hawk]

also going by destiny's precedent id assume most players are on console

[half spire]

there is going to be something worse on cryo archive

[sudden topaz]

I just hope to access the cryoarchive we don't have to do a transit extract, or at least make us do it once to unlock it then let people queue into it with an access card similar to tarkov with labs

[half spire]

yeah it is a big PS title

sony launch after all

[atomic hawk]

my bad 😭

[ripe matrix]

true. I think they'll be akin to like warden level difficulty but there'll be a couple around with a bigger bad showing up as the main boss to kill on the map

[half spire]

i suspect it will be like VOG intro

and then you can queue in after completing an event like that

[atomic hawk]

probably not the best idea but . I am considering getting something from this game tattooed . not sure what yet

[ripe matrix]

yeah that makes sense. a map to load in kinda like the beginner map but specifically for making your way into the archives first

[half spire]

personally i wanna see flickta wandering around

[ripe matrix]

or maybe an event on one of the current maps that lets us activate a special exfil for getting onto the ship

[sudden topaz]

I didn't play during this so not really sure what that was like. I didn't really have people to play D2 with so I just went up to dungeon and nightfall content since I don't like to pug raiding. (also I hate crucible and trials but god I love marathon)

[ruby silo]

cooking with that theory

[half spire]

did you ever do kings fall

the bit at the beginning where you break in through a portal used to actually load into the dreadnaught patrol zone

[atomic hawk]

people know Bungie are incredible at making endgame content, people will want to play just for that when it drops

[half spire]

so you could see teams dive in

super cool stuff

god i miss old destiny

[atomic hawk]

11 year old memory unlocked. damn

[sudden topaz]

Not a single raid that was current content, I think my friends and I did the lightfall raid at some point in final shape also last wish for red borders.

[ripe matrix]

yup. Bungie always shows up when it comes to their endgame stuff. the only raid that was kinda meh was RoN and even that has merit as being fun to speedrun and super easy to teach

actually no I lied Garden is also kinda meh

[half spire]

gimme a juggarnaut

i dont actually like the idea of Mjolnir being an enemy

but i could see that too

[atomic hawk]

I liked both personally. did have a 4 hour long RoN once though thanks to ... destiny players

[torpid socket]

https://tenor.com/view/juggernaut-xmen-cartoon-gif-23216778

[ripe matrix]

but DP, Sedge, LW, DSC, and Vow are all straight bangers

[sudden topaz]

Juggernaut gonna make me act up

[half spire]

best raid is probably wrath

[ember sandal]

ah hell nah

[half spire]

kings fall tied

[ripe matrix]

Vow's still my fav because it's the first instance of an encounter that really pushes everyone to be involved but I also love large parts of Sedge

[half spire]

i played so much wrath

[ripe matrix]

Dissection's easily my favourite encounter ever made

[subtle perch]

DESTINY MENTIONED

[half spire]

aksis is such a sick boss

[subtle perch]

https://tenor.com/view/zavala-destiny2-fortnite-22100-vortex22100-gif-26547557

[half spire]

dunking the fucking orbs

so peak

[ripe matrix]

alas I was way too young for Wrath when it came out ,_,

[half spire]

yeah i was also a youngin when i was playing d1

[ripe matrix]

I was like 11 when it dropped

[half spire]

which taught me to solo crota's end

[subtle perch]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny-bungie-death-zamboni-zamboni-siege-engine-gif-17309141

[atomic hawk]

wrath will turn 10 this year. damn

[half spire]

because that was the one raid you could

[half spire]

after carrying that fucking nuclear bomb for a million years seeing that was so cathartic

[atomic hawk]

I wonder what kinda setpieces we'll get in marathon endgame

[half spire]

we know at least a compiler

[subtle perch]

fav part was seeing whos staying on last

[half spire]

i mean, lockdown is a pretty spectacular setpiece

[ripe matrix]

i'm really hoping for some body horror stuff

[half spire]

flickta wandering around would be sick

what are the BOBs up to

where are they at

phfor controlled BOBs?

lots of options for cryo archive

[ripe matrix]

I want a room full of horrifyingly distorted colonists trying to claw at the doors and escape

or shells that have been clearly experimented on

just something that's gonna be deeply unsettling to discover

bonus points if the UESC did it on purpose

[vivid cargo]

Ooo just seen that there are new contracts

[nocturne abyss]

Runner Shells were created post-marathon incident… wouldn’t work lore wise.

[atomic hawk]

god the soundtrack is so good

probably the best part of the game

[ripe matrix]

ah, I thought they were only finalized in the form we have them now post-marathon

I thought the technology existed back when the expedition first launched

[half spire]

whatever BOBs are around could well be similar though

[maiden canopy]

Keep your eyes open for any alagory to water and you can be sure something bad is coming

[half spire]

i wanna see phfor enslaved BOBs

[half spire]

the waves

the waves

[ripe matrix]

would make sense to use shells aboard the colony ship in order to perform tasks that'd normally be too risky for a person to do

[half spire]

if the hangar area is labled "96"

dont go in there

[half spire]

classic marathons have the BOBs (born on board)

[nocturne abyss]

I think current theory is that it’s related to the same tech that created the battleroids that were secretly stationed on the marathon.

[half spire]

multiple generations of people lived and piloted the ship

kept it working

alongside the AIs

speaking of

wheres leela at

or tycho

or are we at post tycho-durandal synthesis

what timeline is this

https://tenor.com/view/twin-peaks-shock-what-year-is-this-gif-11459973

[buoyant depot]

destiny 2 hive knight melee ai going to hurt in this game

[nocturne abyss]

There’s scrawling on a wall in marsh from someone going crazy trying to figure this out

[ripe matrix]

was the multiple timelines thing not a joke

I haven't played the original games

[half spire]

oh sweet summer child

[ripe matrix]

but I heard about like 7 timelines

[nocturne abyss]

Yeah… you might wanna go check out a lore video at least 😅

[half spire]

BEHOLD

THE TIMELINE CHART

[ripe matrix]

but for why

[half spire]

this frankly isnt even neccessarily accurate

[ripe matrix]

why are there so many

[half spire]

because We Dont Know

still

[nocturne abyss]

Timey wimey bullshit

[half spire]

despair, rage, envy, aye mak sicur

DREAMS

[faint pewter]

Not a joke no in 2 or 3 there’s some serious timey wimey bullshit happening (fun fact mida multi tools flavor text from Destiny may or may not allude to this; basically says they don’t know how the gun ended up in the Destiny universe as mida is of course a marathon thing)

[ripe matrix]

i'm no stranger to timey-wimey wibbly wobbly bullshit but there's gotta be a reason for the multiple timelines right

[nocturne abyss]

Escape will make me god.

[ripe matrix]

._.

[flint mica]

classic marathon’s story is so good

you are destiny.

[nocturne abyss]

Durandals ultimate goal is to escape the closing of the universe to become a god.

[half spire]

well the rise of a wrkncacntr sort of gets in the way

[flint mica]

omega point theory

[half spire]

which my lock is thst the anomaly is one

[flint mica]

you are forgotten

[half spire]

because THE JJARO WERE AT TAU CETI

LEST WE FORGET

why do they go places?

well they appeared to bill clinton

to shut down a wrkncacntr on earth

(probably)

[humble wing]

holy moly guys

[ripe matrix]

dare I wager guesses as to why he's doing the things he's doing or do I just find it in me to lock in for a bunch of fucking lore videos while i'm half drunk

[humble wing]

https://tenor.com/view/orthodox-rabii-bill-clinton-game-awards-miyazaki-gif-27229010

[flint mica]

i hope we find remnants of tycho and leela

[half spire]

the bill clinton part is 100% true but pathway doesnt explain if the sleeping god is a wrkcncacntr

[humble wing]

this guy was a jjaro

[nocturne abyss]

Was it Clinton? I thought it was Daddy Bush

[humble wing]

it was clinton

[nocturne abyss]

I literally have not played that one since I was a kid

[half spire]

it was in fact william clinton

[clear pier]

they need to come out with another ARG step... everyone getting real bored in here

[acoustic shard]

I did not have relations with that Jjaro - Bill Clinton

[half spire]

now if the jjaro were at tau ceti, and theres time fuckery going on with the anomaly

im willing to bet

that the seasonal format stems from that thing waking up

and obliterating the timeline

[outer nimbus]

https://tenor.com/bVo9G.gif

[half spire]

plus the locals were making waves references

so thats neat

[dawn sun]

Anyone know what the skill tree that gives rook the wstr shotgun is? I think it’s an Arachne one but idk specifically

[ripe matrix]

it's an Arachne capstone

[half spire]

arachne capstone 4 iirc

[dawn sun]

Ahhh that makes sense. Ty

[half spire]

anyway lilac if you dont want to play the games Mandalore has a good overview of the whole marathon series from Pathways to Infinity

both as a review and lore overview

[ripe matrix]

i'll probably avoid the games because they're older than I am and i'm too locked in on Marathon 2026 but i'd love videos

[half spire]

theres also the STILL UPDATED marathon story blog

https://marathon.bungie.org/story/

[plucky bay]

My only question is: where’s ol Mo Recon hiding out?

[half spire]

probably ascended into a ball of energy

or maybe he's

[plucky bay]

Nah no way

[half spire]

(its more likely thoth-durandal imo)

[ionic portal]

where dac command?

[half spire]

#leaderboard

[ionic portal]

Thanks!

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfZTtT3IEdDjQTHu3NqLjOUX65d4cDG54&si=nHHs550nza20fQFO

[plucky bay]

I’m gonna go on a wager and make a bet that’ll be wrong, Mo’s in the Anomaly

[nocturne abyss]

Fwiw they’re some of the more playable games from the 90s. The series introduced a lot of things we take for granted in modern fps games… like the ability to look up and down with a mouse 😅

[half spire]

more importantly, guns akimbo

[nocturne abyss]

Revolutionary dual wielding

[ember sandal]

i wanna do some events but its hard to do without having a premade

[nocturne abyss]

Somehow we seem to have lost the tech in the past 30yr 😭

[half spire]

colony ship for sale (cheap)

thats all im saying

[plucky bay]

Jjaro likely don’t want anything too strong running around the universe, so they lock up the thing that stopped their old prisoner from breaking out

[half spire]

i dont think thats impossible but i dont think Mjolnir can be contained

im of the opinion he teleported himself after tycho spaced him

[plucky bay]

So am I, but I’d like to learn more about the Anomaly before I put all my chips down

Like just going off of the only in game interaction we’ve got with it, it’s an impenetrable wall.

[ripe matrix]

ah ty ty i'll check it out <3

[ripe matrix]

holy shit VERTICAL AIMING? IN MY 1994 VIDEOGAME?

[half spire]

you should hunt for codexes on it

verrry interesting implications

[nocturne abyss]

Not just vertical aiming… but vertical aiming with mouselook!

[vague gyro]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1111053029395939329/1481841123415818420/ami31p.gif

[ripe matrix]

insanity. blasphemy

[vague gyro]

sunday SOON

[half spire]

worth noting that 90s sprite shooters are actually fake 3d

prior to Build engine

[plucky bay]

Gotcha, I’ll look in where I can find

[nocturne abyss]

I’m just old enough to remember when we would turn with the arrow keys 😭

[oak venture]

Simply bend space

[ripe matrix]

yeah I knew that. they're drawn to look 3D but actually play on a 2D map like how original Doom was made

[ripe matrix]

which is why you could shoot walls and kill enemies on the "floor above"

[half spire]

infinitely tall

you can punch demons on the floor above you

[half spire]

without revealing too much there are temporal effects tied to the anomaly

[obsidian barn]

💯

[nocturne abyss]

There’s a YouTube channel with all the audio logs in the game currently if you haven’t exfil’d with enough crap to get them

There’s quite a few on the anomaly

[pallid eagle]

hm, interesting

[proven shore]

...

[half spire]

but what is it a snippet of

his core?

why is his core split up

[ripe matrix]

I ated some of it

sorry

[vocal oasis]

where from?

[half spire]

perhaps m2026 is a convergence of timelines

[half spire]

allegedly perimeter

[maiden canopy]

Might be better answered in lore but there are multiple realities and in some durandal was not so successful in his goals. He was originally just the ai in charge of doors after all

[half spire]

thats my guess

[maiden canopy]

So we could be dealing with a fragmented piece of him left behind or in a reality where he did not advance as far

[nocturne abyss]

Halo 1, Cortana could split off subroutines to continue to guide PoA landing. Halo 1 was close enough to Marathon that a lot of those concepts were still shared.

[lofty ridge]

Anyone playing ?

[half spire]

marathon being ripped apart by a being that "makes reality forget its own rules" would probably spit out bits of durandal all over the place

and time

[safe cosmos]

people on twitter arent real man

[half spire]

that's a lot of yellow

[lofty ridge]

Gosh

[ripe matrix]

this is some serious degenerate behaviour to be this loaded within a week of the game launching

[maiden canopy]

The game? I believe so I am

[pallid eagle]

and they're never going to use any of it

[nocturne abyss]

Meanwhile I’ve not even seen anything above a blue 😭

[safe cosmos]

I just dont understand what theyre gonna do for the rest of the season. surely ranked but thatll last what 2 weeks for them?

[tribal cave]

55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 hot dogs, 55 pies, 100-

[safe cosmos]

like speedrunning this game to not touch it for half the season seems boring

[ripe matrix]

I mean fuck this is what my vault's looking like and I feel like I have been playing too much

[pallid eagle]

they can't bring that into ranked afaik, every starts with a random kit and get rank points determined by how much you exfil'd with

[safe cosmos]

oh shit

[maiden canopy]

You can see its only one piece on each of those guns to make it gold so I dont know how crucial it will be for end game content over like a lot of shield or the mods/upgrades that replenish ammo and shields/hp when you do actions

[ripe matrix]

the mods are pretty game changing

same with cores

[half spire]

they are on par with destiny exotics

[ripe matrix]

they do a lot to fundamentally change how a gun works

[safe cosmos]

if this is true, i like that a lot.

[half spire]

and design wise are very similar

[safe cosmos]

so much so a lot of them simply turn them into destiny guns

repeater to dmt for example

[ripe matrix]

I mean shit just look at this

[pallid eagle]

V11 Punch's Prestige turns into the Plasma Pistol

[safe cosmos]

i think brrt gets the cerberus treatment

br33 gets turned to the halo gun

[ripe matrix]

you turn the BRRT into a fucking shotgun

[safe cosmos]

yeah lmao

[maiden canopy]

That is very cool I'm interested to see how that plays out

[pallid eagle]

doesn't traxus sell prestige mods as well at the end of their questline?

I forget if they do

[half spire]

all factions do

[ripe matrix]

the WSTR turns into a slug shotty

[half spire]

after you complete all priority contracts

theyll all have yellows

[spark relic]

Range.... +1

[ripe matrix]

this is literally just a shotgun Izanagi's

[half spire]

welcome back chaperone

[ripe matrix]

or chaperone, yeah

[half spire]

hey that extra meter does a lot

[spark relic]

I do agree! But I expected more out of a slug!

[pallid eagle]

I wish ONI sold a prestige backpack but alas 😔

[ripe matrix]

well I think the slug's also doing the damage of two shotgun shells at once

[half spire]

the currently known prestige backpack is nuts

[ripe matrix]

I wonder how that interacts with mods that increase the ammo capacity

[half spire]

very funnily

the "headshots reload" mod

turns your WSTR into an infinite ammo slinging monstrosity

[ripe matrix]

I was thinking of the mod that gives bonus ammo on an empty mag reload

you slam together 3 shells into one slug round

[dense crown]

like the wstr needs to be better

[half spire]

you somehow fit more rounds in, yeah

[ripe matrix]

lemme just crack this mips round in half and stick one half in each barrel

[half spire]

i just do one two punch sucker punch

just to really make sure theyre dead

[jagged glacier]

Sorry im not fully caught up but are we timegated for any new steps? Or did yall somehow finish it?

[half spire]

3.15

[ripe matrix]

till the 15th

[jagged glacier]

K

[candid yacht]

K

[dense crown]

has anyone seen the wstr slug mod in action yet

it seems like itd be fucking stupid

[ripe matrix]

this is shockingly one of the more tame mods unless you're playing trios I suppose

[candid yacht]

good for the movement shells

[safe cosmos]

Yeah this could go crazy on vandal

[half spire]

destroyer would be ridiculous

[dense crown]

you could just get the same effect from stacking agility

[hollow summit]

my first gold was a schema for 3 channel rifles :(

[safe cosmos]

agility doesnt affect sprint

[ripe matrix]

some of these cores are genuinely game changing too

[dense crown]

that only gives agility

[ember sandal]

thats crazy

i heard they might be buffing recon a tad

[candid yacht]

reduces heat per headshot

[safe cosmos]

recon is c tier until she gets the cores she needs then a tier at least

[candid yacht]

i just think the ult could be a little better

[dense crown]

recon would be fine if the fucking spider worked

[safe cosmos]

TRUE

Tracking is so bad. Tbh id be fine if it only tracked players

[shell lodge]

bruh ts gotta be removed 😭

[ripe matrix]

I think the only issue she has really is the spider not working indoors

the rest of her kit's great

[safe cosmos]

just an alert not a ping is fine. Esp in solos where you probably hear them anyway

[dense crown]

yeah ult not showing players isnt an issue when you realize you can tell whats a player and whats a bot very easily based on how they move

[ripe matrix]

idk if i'd buff ANY of the shells actually

[safe cosmos]

best usecase is rats with wstrs

[ripe matrix]

they all seem good

[dense crown]

i think triage needs a rework

[ripe matrix]

Triage may need a nerf

[dense crown]

specifically just med drones

[ripe matrix]

yeah

[ember sandal]

id buff vandal fs, and nerf triage, and remove thief claymore drone

[safe cosmos]

medrones seem great?

[dense crown]

theyre too good

to the point where you NEED a triage

or youre using so much more meds

[candid yacht]

you can only buy one per reset anyway and it costs 24k

[ripe matrix]

Thief's claymore drones are a bug in my eyes

[safe cosmos]

that sure is mida multitool

[ember sandal]

and a small buff to recon that just makes her drone less wonky

[ripe matrix]

or an exploit

[half spire]

its so funny

i hope they make it into a gold

[ember sandal]

it is a bug yea lol itll prob be removed soon

[safe cosmos]

I always felt a dev thought it was funny and left it in

[ripe matrix]

honestly that'd make for an amazing gold. maybe slightly less damage than a claymore though

[half spire]

if it is a bug it needs to be implemented

[dry arch]

Anyone made progress on the new contracts? I got one but havent found a complete uuid for others yet

[dense crown]

i think its because thief wasnt playable in the server slam lmao

who wouldve thunk a character that wasnt able to be playtested is buggy

[safe cosmos]

Theyd have to delete collision between the drone and claymores specifically and idk how hard thatd be

[sick stream]

do we know whats up with the index entries with the weird paranthesis around some characters? Some are around numbers that I'm guessing we correspond with letters but some are just around letters. I'm guessing we make a table and then replace?

[dry arch]

Gives you a uuid for one of the contracts

[safe cosmos]

vandals 2 best cores are adding a jump and increase jump distance imo. Can hop across buildings in outpost

[ember sandal]

its not too hard, apex had the same bug

[sick stream]

Oh I see, ty

[candid yacht]

i saw that video yeah, but this is nice too for a cannon centered build

[safe cosmos]

p sure most games with a drone and claymores have had it which is why it feels like purposeful oversight

[dense crown]

did they fix thief drone grappling yet

[novel coyote]

Ah so even here the chat is a gen chat

[ember sandal]

maybe a bit yea

[candid yacht]

you could stack tactical recovery and run the core that charges the cannon super fast and this gold mod

would be good

[novel coyote]

there is no more dedicated contract channel ?

[ember sandal]

better gen chat

[jovial cloud]

lore be going crazy atm

[ripe matrix]

it's like gen chat but not overwhelming

[ripe matrix]

at least until the ARG continues

[quartz veldt]

is the uuid from the biostock index dump the only contract to level up?

[jovial cloud]

yeah like tomorrow/day after

[novel coyote]

I just wanna do my contracts and I'm welcomed by floods of feedbacks in all channels haha

I'll try in the lore chan

[candid yacht]

also you get this for finishing traxus

[ripe matrix]

Traxus is never getting my goddamn loyalty

[safe cosmos]

#1354446976242028658

[ripe matrix]

I ain't that loyal to any of the factions really but MIDA's easier to like than some of the others

[ripe matrix]

Arachne weirdly enough feels the least predatory

[dense crown]

arachne is straight up

Hey go kill people for us. Skin them after. Thank you

[ripe matrix]

yeah. I can get behind some honest murder

[ripe matrix]

Sekiguchi and CyberAcme are manipulative, Traxus doesn't give a fuck, NuCal is just impossible to get a read on, and MIDA feels like i'll be thrown out once i'm not useful to the cause or when I can be turned into a martyr

im going to slowly take all your items with thief drone

[brisk garden]

I like da bully over the copper bar

[ripe matrix]

jokes on you i'm invisible and on a free kit

have fun with my worthless patch kits sucker

[ember sandal]

pretty good, i just prefer shotty over smg

[candid yacht]

idk i like the rpm

[brisk garden]

to each their own :3

[ripe matrix]

honestly smg is smg they're all good

[candid yacht]

the copperhead is a straight up better overrun

except range

[brisk garden]

overrun #stinky

[ember sandal]

i do it for the love of the game, ill down you and watch you crawl away as i keep hitting you with the drone

[dense crown]

watching the 8min music video i honestly think marathon couldve been a bomb ass fucking vr game in another universe

i think it has the exact artstyle for it

[ripe matrix]

i've been a huge fan of this for a loadout. typically replace the copperhead with a bully but I don't have a bully rn so meh

[ember sandal]

i know theres one i dont like but im tired and forgettinf the name

[ember sandal]

you guys r so much more geared than me holy moky

[candid yacht]

the m77 is just so versatile its good

[ripe matrix]

m77 my beloved

that and the br33

[brisk garden]

retaliator so yummy :3

[dense crown]

if you arent running bully and knife what are you even doing

[brisk garden]

I love getting arachne kits in my rotation because then I get to eat people alive with the retaliator

[ripe matrix]

do solo runs on outpost with free kits. you'll learn the place and gets tons of shit

only 6 players per outpost run so I keep careful track of how many people i've killed and it makes running a lot easier and less stressful

don't have to worry so much if i've killed 4 players and know the last person is either around or left via exfil

[ember sandal]

ya ik ive just been doing other stuff, i just want ALOT of of shit in a bag (biomass)

[ember sandal]

isnt it 4 teams on outpost so 9 players

[quartz veldt]

is outpost only 6 people on solos?

thats crazy low

[ember sandal]

pretty sure its 9 people

[ripe matrix]

I almost guarantee it's 6

there's only 12 in trios

[ember sandal]

if you queue solo are you not against 3 stacks

[ripe matrix]

no

[dense crown]

no thats rook

[ripe matrix]

solo has its own queue

[wary kayak]

only as rook

[ember sandal]

oh, thats nice

[ripe matrix]

yeah

that's why I only run solo

[wary kayak]

solo is very fun

[ember sandal]

i havent actually queued solo i just assumed it was like other games i played

i need to solo queue more then

[brisk garden]

solo fun people can be so clueless sometimes about the noise they make so I get to stalk them and eat them

[ripe matrix]

I get to play my own game and it feels much more like a light survival horror game than something like apex where I just run and gun

[ember sandal]

i miss old apex man

😔 season 8 come back to me

[ripe matrix]

I miss when Catalyst was good

or Bloodhound

haven't touched it since the two got powercrept

[ember sandal]

i miss when pathy grapple wasnt full cooldown even on short distances

ill do a superjump grapple and itll go on full cd like 😭

[safe cosmos]

Ik I've had a very successful solo run when I hit a 4th pvp kill. Including me thats over half the lobby usually

[ember sandal]

true catalyst was fun asf actually

[safe cosmos]

i for one want them to leave the audio change in solos

[ripe matrix]

exactly. I hit 4 kills and I know I own the goddamn place at this point

[ember sandal]

damn i need to try solo runs more

[ripe matrix]

outpost genuinely feels easier to manage solo than dire marsh

[ember sandal]

are events doable on solo tho?

[ripe matrix]

oh yeah. I've done tox warden twice now

[safe cosmos]

I really need to learn the map bc i wanna do pinwheel solo

[balmy gale]

50% of the time third party but its doable, just did a tox warden solo

[thin aspen]

Everything is doable if you kill everyone else in the lobby

[ripe matrix]

I still think they could maybe afford another 10-15% nerf to UESC shields/hp for solo only but tbh it ain't terrible

[balmy gale]

[balmy gale]

[compact tulip]

REAL

[thin aspen]

Never doubt the Sacred Thermodynamics of violence

[ripe matrix]

mhm. I don't think they're bad rn, I just think Bungie wouldn't be wrong for another small nerf either

[ember sandal]

ive played too much league for 2 years so im so rusty

[compact tulip]

KILL THEM ALL

[safe cosmos]

My favorite thing solo is 1v2/3 ing and going "oh i know theyre pissed" after

I wish i wouldve clipped the assassin vandal kill the other day

[thin aspen]

The more they nerf uesc the more people will pvp and i like that

[safe cosmos]

I think ranked will get the pvp itch going

[ripe matrix]

ranked's gonna be a pvp fest

everything dies in ranked

[ember sandal]

I feel like theres alrdy a lot of pvp ngl

[ember sandal]

true

[ripe matrix]

oh yeah. but I also usually go looking for pvp early on in a match too so I might just be encountering more of it that way

[thin aspen]

My brother the pvp itch been going since day one, i been thirsty for blood i be killing people before extract that i cant even loot just for the blood

[upper solstice]

I think the funniest thing would be Cryo being so hard it couldn't be beaten with a trio and all the cut throat shoot on sight people are forced to work together.

[safe cosmos]

I like the uesc change. noticeable but not making me feel like a baby

[ripe matrix]

if I spawn in say dormitories I immediately go looking for the other dormitories player or the person spawning near orientation

[ember sandal]

after that audio change if you arent getting into fights then something is wrong tbh 😭 😭

[ripe matrix]

this is actually what I hope happens

I want cryo to kick some ass with its pve

[upper solstice]

Just as long as nobody has to carry a glowing orb around.

[ripe matrix]

I wanna have my balls crushed and reformed and then crushed again by whatever the fuck a w'rkncacnter is

ah you're the jungler that never ganks me

[ember sandal]

honestly i still havent decided on a main, ive been playing a good amount of thief but when i get home tomorrow i think i wanna try destroyer for a bit

[ripe matrix]

I always feel like my mid lane turns into me 1v2ing

[dense crown]

you should try recon

[ember sandal]

mmm well i gank when i see the opportunity that wont also end up with me losing more than i gain

[dense crown]

people say shes weak but ping on finisher + ping ult is really fun

[slender flicker]

I tried scanning the QR code but it the website says I need a desktop 🙁

What do I do

[ember sandal]

I tried her, dont hate her but ill proh retry her when her drone is less wonky

[ripe matrix]

get a desktop unfortunately

[dense crown]

yeah drone is main thing holding her back

[ripe matrix]

the website doesn't work on mobile if you mean the cryo archives site

[ember sandal]

tbh with your champs you seem pretty gankable tho, id maybe consider it

[ember sandal]

maybe

[ripe matrix]

I swear I make good gank opportunities. my charms are clean and my ults are fat

[ember sandal]

theres more to it than thattt bro i swear 😭 😭

[ember sandal]

[dense crown]

if anyone needs a supply of arachne gifs dm me

[ripe matrix]

I SWEAR THIS AIN'T ME

I played for my college for a bit so I got pretty fucking good at warding and back timings

[ember sandal]

okay actually i need to sleep i have to wakr up in like 5 and a half hours

[ripe matrix]

yeah go eep

that's a criminal amount of sleep

and i'd know because it's what I get most nights

[thin aspen]

Mhm

[ember sandal]

ill mayhe get 6 and give myself less time to get ready for work

and then drink large amounts of caffeine

[ripe matrix]

monter energy

[ember sandal]

my ohone is dying anyway

[ember sandal]

maybe, ghosts work better tho

[ripe matrix]

highly recommend injecting a white monster into your veins

[thin aspen]

I could not enjoy ghosts, them mfs taste like nucaloric products

[ripe matrix]

NuCaloric product </3

[ember sandal]

idk i like ghost blue rasberry sourpatch kid and the ghost orange cream

are you sure you arent thinking of c4, c4's taste super chemical-ly

holyfuck my ohone is at 3 bye

[ripe matrix]

byeeee

[thin aspen]

That sounds like subway surfer gameplay flavors bro i cant lie i could not see myself drinking that early. My head would explode

[slender flicker]

So what am I supposed to do with the QR code if I don’t have a pc 🥺

[brisk garden]

rook claymore

[safe cosmos]

Oh nah

[dense crown]

wstrs are real??

[obtuse lotus]

Hey now what

[dense crown]

gg its over

[obtuse lotus]

We’re all dead

[safe cosmos]

shinso abe 2

[thin aspen]

I saw that reel earlier, its 3d printed

Very cool

Lowkey want one

Highkey

[obtuse lotus]

Defo wonder how much tho

[safe cosmos]

Probably sell the files for like $35

[thin aspen]

Just need to know someone with a 3d printer and itll be pretty cheap

[dense crown]

if you have access to a 3d printer probably not a lot really

the main thing is just the assembly and painting(?)

[obtuse lotus]

Lord forbid Etsy they’d ask three hundred lmao

[thin aspen]

I also would enjoy a little med drone

They cute

[dense crown]

print ones face out on a baseball and throw it at your friends

[round iris]

3d printing is pretty cheap all things considered (once you get past buying the printer part 😭)

[dense crown]

same thing pretty much

[thin aspen]

Good idea

[safe cosmos]

yeah files are cheap but filament and the actual printer can be expensive

[thin aspen]

I could also skin my friends alive for Charter, i think that'd be cool

[round iris]

I saw a file for that somewhere

on like thingiverse

I'll see if I can find it

[dense crown]

theres things that'll 3d print for you

[obtuse lotus]

You’d be the goat for sure
