[ripe matrix]

ah right I see

I forgot she had that

[lyric trail]

Its her best ability

Like triages buff share

[ripe matrix]

I’ve never seen one manage to use it </3

the “meta” team is looking like Triage/Destroyer/Thief or Assassin for archives

I’ve rarely seen recons and vandals

[lyric trail]

Meta is thief so I can greed loot before my teamates

[ripe matrix]

she’s just really great for scouting

and she counters smokes

[lavish thistle]

Note that aside Plants, Ticks and Turrets which are false, this is the list of Signal Jammer effects, I still believe people don’t fully grasp how powerful this thing is

[lyric trail]

Yeah I killed 2 squads of 3 assassins having a knife fight in a smoke cloud yesterday with her visor lol

[ripe matrix]

YUP

like I said that shit needs nerfs

I also don’t know if I like Thief being able to see through smokes

[lyric trail]

🤓 actually it doesnt work on ticks

[ripe matrix]

which are false

[lyric trail]

This isnt the reading chat

[ripe matrix]

true

It’s the ARG chat

can’t believe we’re still stuck on index

[lavish thistle]

I prefer it here over general because I can post images lol

[ripe matrix]

oh yeah. plus this chat feels way less chaotic

[edgy elk]

im thinking about stuff rn

[lavish thistle]

But yeah, the factor the Signal Jammer blocks everything the Recon’s kit is capable of is insane to me

[lyric trail]

I just like to shitpost here, you guys are better sports about it

[ripe matrix]

thinking??? In my Marathon #breach-protocol ????

[lyric trail]

It doesnt block knife ping

[lavish thistle]

Assuming you can safely get the knife ping off

[lyric trail]

Goalposts

But its also not that hard to get if your team saves downed enemies caught out of position for you

[lavish thistle]

Competent teammates are a gem rarely found though

Of course if you have that gold Recon Core it is also a different story but idk if that acts differently as nobody has been able to test that one yet

[ripe matrix]

I find most teams just using their guns to kill people rather than finishing them

a finish is nice, yeah, but it’s hard to pull off in a firefight

[strong cargo]

Had a friend running Longshot on the side that would just snipe downed instead of finisher. Made it pretty simple and quick, didn't have to change position. It is as just so fast it felt great.

[dusty cairn]

Snipers are so broken

[strong cargo]

Still want some hard numbers on Finisher Siphon to weigh thirsting vs being vulnerable

[tame stream]

You cant even go around other players they will literally go out of the way to fight you if they even suspect youre there

[lavish thistle]

Me when the long range high damage precision heavy gun is powerful

[dusty cairn]

But it has no downsides

[ripe matrix]

snipers are great until they aren’t

and when they aren’t they REALLY aren’t

[lavish thistle]

Use it at close range

[ripe matrix]

like on cryo there’s a single room that’s worth using them in

[strong cargo]

It's slow as hell ADS and lights you up. Quick scoping is possible but nowhere near other games like BF

[dusty cairn]

All im saying is that if you arent running a longshot on perimeter/Dire-marsh you are throwing. Same for the WSTR on outpost.

[ripe matrix]

WSTR’s also a must on cryo

[lavish thistle]

The sniper when I WALK INTO A BUILDING

[strong cargo]

Not throwing. It's only one optimal load out lol. You can do work with your brain.

[dusty cairn]

yeah you have a knife and a bully for cqc

[strong cargo]

But I get it's place in the powerful guns bracket

[dusty cairn]

acting as if there are not two weapon slots lmao

[ripe matrix]

everyone’s running bully/wstr on cryo and as much as I hate running the same thing over and over I can’t really deny that it’s a killer gun combo

[lavish thistle]

If there is anything I’d say is a little too strong right now it’s the knife.
Which is a very hot topic sure, but characters like Vandal and Destroyer can close the gap so fast and with upgrades and augments the knife is a two-hit kill with a faster ttk than over half the guns

[ripe matrix]

maybe a controversial opinion but I think the counter is having util or better spacing

I don’t think it’s that broken rn

[lavish thistle]

Oh I wouldn’t say broken, just on the stronger end is all

[ripe matrix]

sure the destroyer can run towards me at Mach fuck but a flechette at my feet and a WSTR in my hands means the guy’s fucked

[strong cargo]

I can't count how many times a fast claymore slide to the side has gotten rushers for me

[lavish thistle]

As I said over half the guns, not ALL the guns

[hardy shuttle]

i will be one shotting you in melee

[pure prairie]

My only issue with the knife is the lunge range. It feels like Commando Pro half the time 💀

[ripe matrix]

two shotting. It takes two heavy melees afaik

[dusty cairn]

if anything they should slow down the longshots RPM

[ripe matrix]

and that’s enough time to put two shots from a wstr in you

[hardy shuttle]

my knife fight v5 and max melee damage upgrade wins

[lavish thistle]

I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who feels this way

[pure prairie]

Allow me to introduce you to the melee damage hard cap 🫴

[ripe matrix]

the longshot’s really not that great rn

[hardy shuttle]

if you have the maxxed out destroyer melee build im pretty sure one shotting works on blue shields

[ripe matrix]

It’s a fine weapon but it ain’t better than anything else I’ve got

[hardy shuttle]

or you can hot swap thruster melee shotgun

[ripe matrix]

like I said, the flechette at my feet’s gonna put some work in

util is fantastic in this game

I feel naked without a few grenades and claymores

[lavish thistle]

A shotgun will take care of a knife half the time, sometimes an smg can save you if you fire on them before they reach you, maybe even some of the auto rifles
But too slow a reaction with an smg/auto or almost any non cqc weapon, a knife will fuck you up

[hardy shuttle]

i wish destroyer shield could block more explosives

like a real riot barricade type thing

[ripe matrix]

god no. Destroyer needs SOMETHING to counter it

[hardy shuttle]

i also only play destroyer

[ripe matrix]

bullets don’t work so explosives need to

[lavish thistle]

The knife rush squad watching in horror as I throw a Chem Grenade at my feet to punish all of us for their strategy

We ALL dying in this hoe

[hardy shuttle]

oh this is cursed

[ripe matrix]

I only play assassin and my ass is here praying for Thief’s visor to stop working in smokes lol

[lavish thistle]

I’m taking ALL of us down

[dusty cairn]

Could be. I haven’t really been dogged on with it too much but I feel like I get a free kill if im jumping an enemy squad

[ripe matrix]

this is beautiful. reminds me of my “oops, all ammo! loadout”

[hardy shuttle]

isnt the gold mod on the longshot a RPM increase per headshot

[ripe matrix]

yeah like DMT

[hardy shuttle]

i do hope snipers get adjusted

dire marsh is so unfun right now

[lavish thistle]

Just play to buildings and the tunnel system? Positioning issues aren’t a balance thing

[hardy shuttle]

im all for weapons being strong as fuck, but also if it forces the entire lobby into a certain playstyle or else you go below 33% survival rate i think its not healthy

[pure prairie]

Or bring a thermal and counter snipe...?

[lavish thistle]

Dire has a lot of covers and ways to break sightlines, it’s not the fault of the sniper if you take an open path

[hardy shuttle]

refer to my previous point

[ripe matrix]

I think the only place snipers might be a problem is perimeter

[vivid panther]

central marsh is a kill zone. try to avoid heading there until later in raids.

[hardy shuttle]

thats not what im saying, i think the handling and speed of them is the issue

[ripe matrix]

everywhere else they’re just good guns

[hardy shuttle]

obviosly there is counterplay

[lavish thistle]

The.. handling speed? The handling speed? They’re the slowest weapons to take out and scope right now-

[hardy shuttle]

but imo its just too strong in engagements where it shouldnt be

feel free to disagree

[vivid panther]

I’ll say I think that you should flinch harder when ADSed with a sniper. especially if your shield is broke.

[lavish thistle]

Okay, so let’s run this back,
You think the already slowest handling gun is too fast for what it is, and it’s hell to play against them on the open sightlines map where precision weapons are at their strongest?

[hardy shuttle]

yes exactly

[vivid panther]

really the only gripe I have with them.

like if I challenge, crack your shield, and keep hitting good shots while you’re just kinda standing there, it should be harder for you to get a clean shot.

[hardy shuttle]

I personally just dont think, especially with controller AA, that snipers should be able to beat a mid range dmr at mid-close range

flinch, thermals, etc. but if you like that thats perfectly ok

[ripe matrix]

I suppose, but I could make the argument the other way too where you being able to stand in the open and win an engagement while I have a sniper rifle doesn’t make sense

[hardy shuttle]

i will stick to outpost

[ripe matrix]

fwiw I’ve NEVER seen a sniper used in close range on pc

[lavish thistle]

Just bring signal jammers, it destroys AA

[cyan nest]

How much this loadout cost u btw

[hardy shuttle]

i see your point, and i agree. I just think it needs to be adjusted for the ranges they are intended

[ripe matrix]

I’d guess 8k?

[lavish thistle]

Well I don’t have that gun on hand anymore so I can’t tell you but around 7-8k if I recall

[ripe matrix]

maybe more like 10 actually

[hardy shuttle]

like if you have an angle on someone +100m with a sniper and they get rinsed, good thats intended. at 25 meters with AA, beating an AR or DMR already with shots on you? i think thats not great

[cyan nest]

Egad... yea pass. Lol

[lavish thistle]

Oh yeah because of the cores and all, maybe 12k max

[ripe matrix]

most expensive loadout I’ve lost is like 15k so far

[lavish thistle]

21k for me so far

[ripe matrix]

cryo did bad things to me last week

[lavish thistle]

Yes it hurt

No I don’t want to talk about it

[ripe matrix]

I’m also yet to find any fucking prestige items ,_,

[vivid panther]

i mean it’s happened to me before. challenged a guy with a sniper on the roof of perimeter (overflow) while he was maybe within like 50M. had a volley rifle. hit good shots. kept hitting him. was just able to hit me through the flinch despite the DPS and kill me despite his own poor positioning.

[hardy shuttle]

i lost like 150k cumaltive first cryo weekend

[ripe matrix]

I lost like 50k last cryo

[hardy shuttle]

only ones ive found are on kills, no natural drops

[ripe matrix]

though I did make a lot of it back too

[vivid panther]

should have just hit better shots to actually get the kill but it was surprising to say the least.

[lavish thistle]

Accumulative is not counted here, we’re talking a single run’s loss

[hardy shuttle]

the rook outpost runs are surprisingly lucrative

[cyan nest]

I played 5 cryo matches last weekend. Only won 1

[lavish thistle]

I don’t want to talk about the 400k+ I’ve dumped into Cryo, only to extract once

[hardy shuttle]

unless you are kitted 20k and up i think going into middle of the map isnt smart

[ripe matrix]

you were in the open though right? that’s like the most ideal engagement for a sniper on that map

I don’t think it’s too unreasonable to win that

you gotta use grenades and quick peeks to flush them out

[vivid panther]

I swung out of cover. and he was just standing with no hard cover around him.

[ripe matrix]

or your own sniper would’ve put work in too

[vivid panther]

I admittedly egoed because of how he was just standing there and the fact he couldn’t have been more than like 40 HP but he was just able to snipe me through the flinch.

I don’t think that should be quite so easy.

[ripe matrix]

I don’t bother. I always open the entrance to another wing and try to wipe that team first before looking at entering control

[vivid panther]

regardless it is what it is, that’s just my singular gripe with the weapon class.

[ripe matrix]

I can’t wait for solo archives

[lavish thistle]

I personally think more players should embrace counterplay methods on the note of the earlier mentions though,
Going to an open map? Bring signal jammers and try to stick to places where you can break sightlines easily
Closed off map? Grenades and CQC weaponry

[vivid panther]

I’ve not even been on cryo yet. was hoping to play with some of my boys but they’re on different games rn. might actually have to hit up the LFGs.

[ripe matrix]

I always adjust my loadout to the map

[vivid panther]

I think signal jammers should be purchasable through MIDA. don’t like how they’re only looted.

[ripe matrix]

and cryo is where I load the fuck up on utility

[vivid panther]

especially with how strong they are.

[ripe matrix]

I feel like Sekiguchi would make sense for those too

[cyan nest]

Could be worse. Could be destiny 2 where a single stasis high impact auto rifle is capable of dealing 83 crit dmg to the head with rampage and light shift. Litteraly 3 tapping players foolish enough to challenge it.

[ripe matrix]

either or

[vivid panther]

you know I was never a huge fan of D2 PVP.

[lavish thistle]

Like, I’m obviously going to beat you if I have a sniper and we’re fighting in Dire Marsh 9/10 times if you don’t use a signal jammer, play a movement character or at the very least try to reach cover or the nearest building

[ripe matrix]

I always ran crimson and Icarus dash in pvp

[lavish thistle]

It actually amazes me the amount of people who immediately go to fire back rather than reposition

[vivid panther]

I couldn’t ever get the really good rolls for the good PvP guns. and really the game flow just didn’t click with me.

[lavish thistle]

Or when enemy teammates immediately swing into the open against a sniper

[ripe matrix]

I went flawless only a few times because god the system was ass

[vivid panther]

odd that I like marathon PVP as much as I do given how similar it really is.

[rain geyser]

please add more stash space 😭 again

[ripe matrix]

but trials was pretty fun

[ripe matrix]

start burning your loot in runs

[vivid panther]

I have been ego challenged so much by so many people in this game and it’s unreal.

[ripe matrix]

that’s a sign to go have some fun with those purple weapons you’ve been holding onto

[cyan nest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/891002461433769984/1486387176156692560/Screenshot_20260323_201032_Google.jpg?ex=69c6a2ee&is=69c5516e&hm=e3ea2a8fd252a5a70e1e6b5f4b98d44223d6dc6d48539d0584e49fb13465941b&

[vivid panther]

and like hats off to them because if you get caught in a sprint you can die quick lol

[ripe matrix]

wtf is up with the clown react

[lavish thistle]

I think they just need to increase stack sizes again personally

[vivid panther]

I think items should just stack infinitely. May be an unpopular opinion.

[ripe matrix]

more stack size increase ,_,

[bold iris]

NO

[lavish thistle]

That or make Lockbox Keys stack

[ripe matrix]

I dunno I don’t think any of my hurting for storage is coming from items that stack rn

[vivid panther]

also would like to see dedicated storage boxes for specific items. especially for guns and cores.

[vivid panther]

mine is ALWAYS cores.

[ripe matrix]

I just have too many guns saved up for this weekend

[vivid panther]

I want to keep cores to try them on different shells but I don’t have room lol

[ripe matrix]

cores are rough yeah. I have like 6 copies of some assassin cores to use like flexweave casing and prowl kit

If I’m ever using a new shell I just buy the green cores from SekGen

[vivid panther]

so I’ve just started keeping cores for just triage and destroyer because those are the two I play the most. Which in turn makes me want to not really play other different shells.

[ripe matrix]

I have like two whole Triage cores in my vault to use if I ever am designated to run him

[lavish thistle]

I feel like a lot of hurt comes from the fact that Lockbox keys actually

Fourteen of those is fourteen individual slots

[ripe matrix]

I almost want to run him at this point because I don’t trust my current Triage to use ult ,_,

[vivid panther]

like ive got a prestige core for vandal that gives her a third jump, but i never play vandal. and then ive got one for recon that procs her interrogation of downs. but i never play recon either and im not taking that core into solos lol.

but I don’t wanna really just sell a prestige item.

[ripe matrix]

I’ve also got a good 14 slots being taken up by keys for vaults rn

[lavish thistle]

And this is exactly why I think borrowed items should be dropped in some cases, because I’d trade you my prestige triage cores for those genuinely

[vivid panther]

meeeee fucking too. need to use my cryo keys this weekend.

[lavish thistle]

I need to find competent people to use mine with

[vivid panther]

bro I would happily take the trade. I just never play recon and vandal lol.

[ripe matrix]

hoping to warm up with my two copies each of vault 1/2 before making an attempt at 4/5

[vivid panther]

I’ll say the recon core I have really does make me want to try her but I hate filling with randoms.

[lavish thistle]

I have keys 1-5, I’m still trying for key 6 as I need to do lockdowns to force it’s drop

I have two copies of key 5 on that note

[ripe matrix]

I don’t mind if my randoms are idiots but I don’t trust loading up with two randoms and using comms only to be stuck with people who are gonna be toxic

[edgy elk]

among us

[vivid panther]

Im just not putting my best gear at risk for free kit Freddie’s

[ripe matrix]

fair. I just am more concerned about getting called a slur honestly

as long as they’re willing to listen I’m happy to use my purples to carry us

[lavish thistle]

If I find you I will call you baby hands until you cry /j

It’s surprising how many people hate being called that I’ve actually set off a few people with that lol

[ripe matrix]

I was thinking more along the lines of something misogynistic or transphobic. I’d be alright with being called baby hands lmao

[edgy elk]

babyhands huh, noting that down

[lavish thistle]

Hetero, hetero, hetero /j

[edgy elk]

i havent encountered a single female in randoms now that i think about it 🤔

[ripe matrix]

NOOOO you’ve found my weakness

[lavish thistle]

:3

[strong cargo]

Calling everyone baby hands now

[ripe matrix]

a single woman that you were aware was one. I’m sure you’ve played with plenty so far

[lavish thistle]

“Couldn’t move your camera fast enough because of your baby hands”

[jolly goblet]

I have made it off the lose everything ship without losing anything

[edgy elk]

[strong cargo]

Lmao

Funny, streamers and YouTubers I watch are mostly female

ChloeGlorp is awesome

[ripe matrix]

Idk. I just tend to not speak unless they’ve given me good reason to believe they’re chill. goes for any game really

[lavish thistle]

Every Rook I’ve met as a Rook has been female, which feels strange

[ripe matrix]

my voice passes just fine I think but I still don’t trust em

[strong cargo]

It's fair

[lavish thistle]

Like, why only when I’m playing Rook?

[jolly goblet]

Rook is filled with estrogen instead of blue juice like the rest of the shells

[lavish thistle]

Lmfaoooo

[strong cargo]

Sign me up for Rook then damn

[lavish thistle]

Also shoot if you plan to do carries I will make like a stereotypical Canadian and apologize for existing, throw me an invite /j

[ripe matrix]

EYYYY another Canadian!

[lavish thistle]

LES GOOOOO

[ripe matrix]

there’s two of us!

[lavish thistle]

Hold up- thoughts on Quebec?

[ripe matrix]

but yeah I’m not like crazy good at the game but I manage just fine

[lavish thistle]

Same here tbh

[ripe matrix]

they’re like that one weird cousin you just don’t trust but like sure whatever they’re fine

[lavish thistle]

Correct answer, only second place to “no”

[ripe matrix]

I mean I ain’t much better off in my own province 💀

this place blows

[ripe matrix]

I might! I’ve got a decent group rn that I’ve been running archives with but I’m always happy to have more people to join

[lavish thistle]

THEY CENSORED ME FOR THE TOWN NAME I WAS GOING TO MENTION IN MY PROVINCE

IT’S A REAL PLACE BUNGIE!

Oh actually that one makes sense as you were using gay in a derogatory term lol

[lavish thistle]

Not much, explaining to this guy why he got warned

[edgy elk]

bro what is your bio? serious or not?

[cyan nest]

It was litteraly crap talking a contract

[vivid panther]

lots of other verbs to choose from

[old perch]

Was saying crazy shit?

[elfin bone]

yeah, you hurt that contract's feelings with words

[ripe matrix]

you can say shit talking a contract

[cyan nest]

Why u readin my bio anyway? But yes its a honest bio

[lavish thistle]

I refuse to believe anybody with “Hates pronouns” in their bio is genuine about it lol

[ripe matrix]

the SekGen contracts DO suck

[lavish thistle]

Don’t get me started-

[ripe matrix]

they’re so funny though

[old perch]

Say does anyone else go 6 or 7 matches wothout exfiling of am I just shitty?

[lavish thistle]

Which map?

[vivid panther]

depends on the day.

[ripe matrix]

depends on the night

LOL

[elfin bone]

depends on the sun

[old perch]

Well it was Perimeter

[cyan nest]

I just want the core upgrades

[ripe matrix]

sometimes it just be like that. I lost like 8k worth of loadouts in 15 mins the other night

I load in I die within a minute I load in I die within a minute I load in-

[old perch]

Now I am back on Dire Marsh where it is extra shooty

[lavish thistle]

. . . Imma be real with you chief, and take this with a pound of salt but that may be a you issue if it’s on perimeter

[little mirage]

does 03 key pump crediental warden only spawn 10m in?

[elfin bone]

you know what ... i survive longer and exfil more, by just dropping in with free sponsor kit of the day

[old perch]

Oh I know its me

https://tenor.com/view/its-a-me-mario-it-me-super-mario-nintendo-gif-12848561

[ripe matrix]

I thought it spawned just anytime you picked up the credentials

[lavish thistle]

I think they meant the credentials showing up at all in this case

[old perch]

Samw

Same

[little mirage]

you get the credientals from killing warden

[ripe matrix]

sure worm mommy I’ll go inject myself with snake venom and and then microdose nightshade before swallowing a bag of glass that I have to find halfway across the map!

oh and then I’ll exfil while on fire

[ripe matrix]

no? I’ve always just found them on the desk in Revival

I did find out there’s a contract on outpost that starts a MIDA broadcast throughout the whole place and that was fucking incredible to hear out of nowhere because another team did it

[nocturne abyss]

no collectors ed, but I do have this tho

[ripe matrix]

I wish I had a collection going. only thing I really try to collect is vinyls

[ember sandal]

my duo isnt on today, i think i will either play the old marathon games or play stardew

thoughts?

[ripe matrix]

I’m gonna buy the Signalis OST on vinyl soon since they released a new Elster’s eye edition

[dire crow]

I've heard marathon is pretty good

[lavish thistle]

Okay something completely unrelated right?

This but on a pair of shorts, thoughts?

[ripe matrix]

LMAO

[ember sandal]

thats heat

[cyan nest]

Only thing i truely collect is fierarms. Never purchased collectors eddition of any game ever.... rarely any dlc either. Ive got atleast 20k in fierarms

[whole vigil]

I would love to collect guns but I can't because I'm in the UK and that fucking sucks.

[ripe matrix]

the mods might strike you down for the insinuation but I see the vision

[neat hazel]

whoa

[lavish thistle]

You guys would never guess what I collect

[cyan nest]

That sucks.

[ember sandal]

i dont have anything i collect rn, need to change that

[vivid panther]

collect pocket knives and watches. that’s about it.

[lavish thistle]

Than remember me for the runner I was 🙏

[heavy trench]

Cyro consistency gettin solid bois, 4 runs 3 exfils, we're so up

[dusty cairn]

I live in commie-fornia so I gotta jump through a bunch of hoops to own a gun. ATP I might just do it.

[ember sandal]

i used to collect knives when i was younger but i dont anymore

[whole vigil]

Honestly, probably the most disappointing game I own a collectors edition for was easily starfield. My parents bought me it for my birthday.

[neat hazel]

i'm normal so I only own a single gun

[cyan nest]

I have a m82A1 believe it or not

[vivid panther]

yeah I don’t buy nearly as many as I used to. carry around a cheap kershaw everyday I bought when I was like 16 or 17.

[ember sandal]

Bought this recently, thoughts?

[whole vigil]

I don't even know why I expected starfield to be good. I'm really wondering what went through my mind about that

[ripe matrix]

Bethesda had a decent track record

had

[whole vigil]

Fallout 4 was awful in terms of writing, so I don't know why starfield could be any better.

[upbeat hamlet]

I mean starfield is good............with mods

LOL

[neat hazel]

I had fun with it until the end which made me hate it

[whole vigil]

Yeah definitely the operating word here.

[dusty cairn]

I had a Kershaw leek that was phenomenal, gave it to my ex like a dumbass.

[ripe matrix]

I still think Fallout 4 was a decent game to play but the writing was pretty blegh yeah

[covert fable]

Who’s got the NL arachne gif

[vivid panther]

this isn’t even one of their expensive ones and I love it.

paid like 30 bucks for it lol.

[cyan nest]

Me whos never played a bugthesda game... or anything on pc

[nocturne abyss]

only thing I have for Marathon at the moment

[whole vigil]

Fallout 4 was okay to play. Its writing was absolutely abysmal, but its gameplay was decent enough. It's even better with mods of course, but I don't think you should need mods to improve a game

[dusty cairn]

Exactly, it was perfect for an EDC

[novel shale]

Shameful

PC is perfect for modding

[ripe matrix]

they’re fun. Skyrim’s still an excellent experience and especially modded

[whole vigil]

You know the idea of playing a Bethesda game on console is crazy to me because what do you do if something fucking breaks and you don't have access to the console?

[novel shale]

Skyrim’s fun when it’s not crashing randomly

[whole vigil]

If something breaks on my PC, I can use a console command to fix it. If it happens on a console, what can I do then?

[ripe matrix]

ya just reload a save and pray it works next time

[vivid panther]

I do want a new one just for the sake of getting one. was looking at those “gentleman’s folders” but they’re pretty wishy washy with the reviews.

[whole vigil]

That is dreadful.

[cyan nest]

Dev signatures?

[ember sandal]

i bought skyrim on my pc again recently and holy fuck the game is so good

[vivid panther]

might get CRKT’s CEO or whatever. think that’s what it is.

[ember sandal]

maybe its nostalgia but i think its so good

[nocturne abyss]

well, dev signatures from 2023. Some ppl didn't make it to launch and others werent there when I got this

[whole vigil]

I liked seeing that person who was talking shit on Twitter saying none of the OG devs of halo are still at bungie and they basically got slapped up side the head by a developer that told them there was like 40 plus OG developers at bungie working on marathon.

[cyan nest]

Still nice tho.

[ripe matrix]

that post was beautiful

[whole vigil]

It was cathartic honestly.

It's entertaining when someone decides to talk so much shit that they get the attention of a person who knows what's actually going on and puts them in their place

[ripe matrix]

I really do think Marathon plays exceptionally well

like they did such a good job with the guns and gameplay

[whole vigil]

I really wish it could run on Linux because when all was said and done and I got it to work on Windows 11 on the steam deck it ran at 17 FPS all low which was almost better than I was expecting originally. I do think though without Windows 11 being part of the picture it would probably run a lot better.

[ripe matrix]

Idk if it’ll survive in the way I want it to given how sales are looking right now but I hope to god it finds its home in the extraction shooter market

[whole vigil]

A lot of the resources of the steamdeck are wasted on Windows 11. I'll be very honest.

[ripe matrix]

yeah I have a friend who can’t play it really either because it won’t run on Linux

[novel shale]

*a lot of resources are wasted on Windows

[whole vigil]

I mean yeah that goes without saying really doesn't it.

[pure prairie]

Slopdows

[ember sandal]

its prob my fav game in the genre so im really hoping it survives but we'll see

[nocturne abyss]

I could get closer to 30 but heavily optimized an already lite verison of windows to get that

[whole vigil]

AI slop the OS.

[novel shale]

It’s kinda crazy how much storage windows jsut existing takes up

[whole vigil]

Yeah, it is.

It's also incredible how much fucking ram it uses when it's not doing anything in particular.

[ripe matrix]

It’s my first and honestly I have zero regrets pre-ordering it after the server slam

[whole vigil]

Win 7 was pinnacle when it came to resource usage. God do I miss it.

[ripe matrix]

I got like 5 hours in and knew this was something great

[nocturne abyss]

meanwhile the windows server variant I use for the checkpoint bots takes up 700mb when not in game

[novel shale]

It’s kinda crazy how there’s really no OS that can compete (other than like Linux)

[ember sandal]

ive played hunt showdown, dark and darker, arena breakout, and the cycle

[nocturne abyss]

it doesn't HAVE to be bad. microsoft CHOOSES to make it bad 😂

[ember sandal]

this is like easily the best ive touched

[whole vigil]

And developers keep sabotaging it. It's kind of sad really.

[ripe matrix]

even Linux doesn’t really compete sadly. I think it was like 1% of users on the last steam hardware survey

[haughty drift]

idk why people that run linux dont dual boot windows, like if you wanna play the game that bad, dual boot it, im probably missing something for why people dont but im curious.

[whole vigil]

Remember when people used to play games on a Mac?

[pure prairie]

Developers? Nah, that's CoPilot mah boi

[ripe matrix]

they do but it’s a pain in the ass

[whole vigil]

Fucking copilot every time I went to uninstall. It comes back next update.

[pure prairie]

I still have my TF2 apple buds 🤣

[cyan nest]

Tbh.... its kinda a good thing bungie sold off halo to 343 simply because of if they didint we would never get another one due to bungie being to focused on D2, marathon and maybe D3 someday. It would be unlikely that they would do another halo

[rapid crater]

2.23% down 1.15 from last survey

[whole vigil]

Don't you just love when a favourite extension of yours in your browser gets disabled because apparently it's malware even though it's being completely okay for years

[haughty drift]

thats fair, i dual booted chrome os when i had a chromebook as steam wasnt on there, i imagine chrome os/windows dual boot is a lot different from linux/windows

[whole vigil]

I remember there was a project ages ago in Google Chrome where it could run Android apps. I think they killed it and it's in their graveyard now like so many other projects.

[haughty drift]

the google graveyard is massive now

[lavish thistle]

And one more before I hit the road for a bit

[nocturne abyss]

Still do
-# no this is not game streaming either

[ripe matrix]

I don’t use Linux personally but it seemed like more effort than it was worth for my friend to play like 4 hours of Marathon with us during the server slam and then go back to Linux

[whole vigil]

You reminded me how much I kind of missed destiny. 2. God fucking damn it.

[haughty drift]

i mean they've taken a page from proton and theyre trying to make mac more accessible to gaming

[whole vigil]

Proton I'm so glad valve is trying to make that thing so accessible and usable and configuration free.

[haughty drift]

yeahhhh thats fair, i mean hey if he did it, then hed have access to other games too! theres other upsides, but yeah i know windows is a hog on ram

[whole vigil]

Must be why tarkov on a PC requires 64 GB of RAM as a recommended

[neat hazel]

haha no they're not. I love my Mac to death but "gaming on Mac" is pretty much a road to getting leadership promotions and then abandoned

[ember sandal]

peak

[ripe matrix]

she just doesn’t have any other games really to play that only work on Windows

Deadlock and DbD run fine on Linux

[haughty drift]

i mean lets be honest that game isnt optimized AT ALL

[neat hazel]

like GPTK is great and all but

it's now abandoned too

[ember sandal]

tarkov is genuinely held together with hopes and dreams bro

[neat hazel]

idk I can play no man's sky on my Mac which is great when i'm traveling

[haughty drift]

WELL....fuck that kinda sucks. that idea was cool though, cause being able to game on a mac that just opens up gaming to a lot of people who couldnt before

[neat hazel]

and RimWorld also

[haughty drift]

spaghetti code, hopes and dreams

[lyric meadow]

[whole vigil]

I can play a lot of games on my steam deck somehow. It can even run the new death stranding 2, which is impressive I suppose

[nocturne abyss]

imagine not playing marathon on Linux lol

[neat hazel]

qemu?

[ember sandal]

rimworld seems like something id love lowkey but i fear i wouldnt interact with anyone if i got it

[neat hazel]

it's actually so good

[nocturne abyss]

libvirtd go brrrrrrrrrrr

[whole vigil]

Something is screwy here because you can't unless you're using virtualision tech and a GPU. Pass-through.

[haughty drift]

really? i saw someone was running at a 17fps on the steam deck, but i imagine tweaks made it better

[nocturne abyss]

notice the 2 gpus in the fastfetch 😂

[haughty drift]

thats wild, an nvidia and amd card in the same system

[ripe matrix]

4080 and a 7600 holy shit

[haughty drift]

how the fuck

[pure prairie]

Drone delivery 🤣🤣🤣

[elder condor]

I just got wiped by cross like 5 minutes into a fill run bro 😭

[neat hazel]

respect but they should've just enabled proton use for marathon and it's kind of stupid they didn't

[haughty drift]

thats actually sick as fuck that you have an nvidia and amd card in the same system.

[ripe matrix]

how much fucking money does your pc cost???

[whole vigil]

The only time I saw this thing was when it was sinking through the wall.

[nocturne abyss]

one for linux, one for windows and my monitor is plugged into the linux card and there's a bit of shared memory that copies the framebuffer from the vm to the linux side

[ripe matrix]

64 gigs of ram in this day and age?

two GPU’s????

[haughty drift]

THATS SO FUCKING COOL

[whole vigil]

This was probably back before the crash.

[ember sandal]

sometimes i go in this server, i see peoples rigs, and i feel like a poor little peasant boy

[neat hazel]

idk my Mac is my main pc my windows computer is only for games

[whole vigil]

By the way, playing Marathon on three monitors is an interesting experience.

[ripe matrix]

I’m sitting here with my 5600x and 6800 cranking out 60 frames at 1440p

[haughty drift]

i love pcs, just knowing how they work and all the different components, so seeing an nvidia and amd in the same system, is fucking awesome

[neat hazel]

that thick ass FE

[haughty drift]

yeah i expected a sick case

[pure prairie]

I see your multiple fans for peak sweaty gaming Aurian 🤣

[ripe matrix]

this is insane

idk how you keep that thing cool

[ember sandal]

i feel like a peasant bro

[neat hazel]

goofy ass silicon fishtank though

[haughty drift]

its ok buddy, we all start somewhere, i started on an i3 intergrated graphics.

[cyan nest]

More accurate

[ember sandal]

my cpu is the chopped huzz bro

[nocturne abyss]

I could only afford this because of the amazing generosity of the d2 community, and for that I am eternally grateful. ❤️ all u guys 😭

[ripe matrix]

Stellar Blade on the steam deck o-o

[distant blaze]

I don’t have a gpu lol im playing on integrated amd with lowest settings hittin 40fps 😭😫

[ember sandal]

ive never felt the need to upgrade anything until playing this game bro

[distant blaze]

My cpu and ram are fine tho

[pure prairie]

Now that's a real gamer

[ripe matrix]

oh shit do you run D2Checkpoint??

[nocturne abyss]

also, i just noticed.... nice.

[haughty drift]

theres always a game that makes you wanna upgrade, battlefield 6 was that for me (but realistically it was just bound to happen bf6 was just maxing out my pc)

[ember sandal]

i mean honestly since this game is optimized how it is, youre kinda valid

[haughty drift]

nice

[ripe matrix]

mods mad because I used mfer lovingly ,_,

[distant blaze]

No it runs more or less fine, i can deal w 40fps but my render scale being 60 is kinda screwing me over

[ember sandal]

i mean ive known that i need to get a new cpu for a while but like fuckkkk under 60 fps on outpost is NOT NICE

[nocturne abyss]

https://tenor.com/bjWaB.gif

[distant blaze]

Distance and whatnot

I make up for it by having good ears

[neat hazel]

the stock discord wordfilter is crazy

[ripe matrix]

goddamn you’re the one everyone swarms to for their Shuro checkpoints

[whole vigil]

The Shurocheese

[haughty drift]

yeah i had to do the same, full mobo, cpu and ram, did it RIGHT before the ram prices went up. i put it off for so long cause GOD it is a pain. BUT i also found out that my psu was fried so it was perfect timing

[pure prairie]

It's not stock, this servers filter is very strange. It'll accept the regular spelling of adult entertainment, but if you try to use old gamer lingo you'll cop a timeout.

[ripe matrix]

yeah you sit there blushing all cutely for your service to the community

[minor gyro]

if you clear the compiler room, do you still have to run to some hidden exfil, or is there a free beacon off the map?

[ember sandal]

oh yea if you got your pc originally prebuilt, psu will be cooked

[neat hazel]

is this not the stock restricted filter?

[whole vigil]

How many hit points does the compiler have?

Does it have Shields?

[minor gyro]

do you get locked into the room during a compiler fight?

[neat hazel]

shrug

[nocturne abyss]

now if only I can figure out how to turn all this good will into marathon carries 😭
-# because I am so very not good at this game

[whole vigil]

Does it dissolve when it dies?

Like in the original trilogy?

[ripe matrix]

Compiler doesn’t have shields but you have to open up dps phase by dealing damage in a bubble

[distant blaze]

It does do this yeah

[ember sandal]

i got mine prebuilt originally and i didnt know too much about pc's yet, so when it eventually shit itself i genuinely replaced my m.2, gpu, ram, and motherboard, before i got to the psu

[whole vigil]

Neat

[distant blaze]

It runs like a d1 taken king raid

[ripe matrix]

think of it like fighting Warpriest

[neat hazel]

bless to my homie who gave me basically a new mobo cpu and PSU for this game

on the condition I sell the ram that was in there for current market price

[distant blaze]

I need to get a cheap cpu… wallahi

[ripe matrix]

you hit panels to bring up a bubble and then dps in the bubble until the cloak opens so you can dps it properly

[thorny jungle]

There's an exfil in the loot room and in the pre-boss room

[neat hazel]

went from i5 11600k to Ryzen 5950x

[distant blaze]

Not to advertise but if anyones selling one for like $150 hmu lawl

[neat hazel]

gained about 20fps

[whole vigil]

Good.

[haughty drift]

nah i built it but its been YEARS. i thought it was actually my pc button cause like year prior, the front header usbs "over currented" (no clue what happened or why it was doing that) so i just assumed it was the case

[neat hazel]

pro tip if you're on Ryzen use Process Lasso

[minor gyro]

how do you get credentials to the pump station?

[nocturne abyss]

where u at, and u got an AM4 motherboard?

[neat hazel]

restrict the game to your second CCD

it helps a LOT with other processes interfering with the game

[ember sandal]

oh yea, i learned the hard way that a lot of prebuilts will give you a weird shitty off-brand psu

[distant blaze]

West coast and i’d have to double check when i get home, im working lololol

[haughty drift]

if my shit wasnt so old already i would offer, but id recommend just looking on offerup or facebook marketplace (maybe not idk ive sold stuff on there)

[neat hazel]

there are only 4? OEMs for desktop computer PSUs

even if it's offbrand it's still likely as good as most else

[haughty drift]

oh yeah ive done that before, never go off brand, always go name brand

[neat hazel]

I used a $40 850w PSU for a long time

[strong cargo]

Amazing people of Breach Protocol. Do you beautiful people know how I would get music to route through my prox chat while playing Rook
: ) for the ....fun

[neat hazel]

pretty much a nobrand

but it came from a good oem

[distant blaze]

Virtual mike using obs

[haughty drift]

i think it just depends on the brand

cause there are some really bad psus

[minor gyro]

pls do not do this

[strong cargo]

Righteous. I know OBS would be a component just not sure where to start.

[ripe matrix]

it can be kinda funny

[haughty drift]

i cant remember the one i had that was so sketchy i used it for a couple years before just upgrading iut

[distant blaze]

https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-create-a-virtual-mic.142968/

[neat hazel]

it depends on the OEM. you can get nobrands that are better than NZXT (iirc they use one of the bad OEMs)

[strong cargo]

You cannot stop my Rook

[ripe matrix]

I think Rooks are allowed to hot mic music. as a treat

[distant blaze]

Large concentration of furries in marathon. Fucking awesome

[haughty drift]

100%, frys at the time, kinda just sold whatever?

[strong cargo]

Amazing

[nocturne abyss]

https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm

[ember sandal]

yea so whats interesting is yk how psu's always come as like, 750 watt, 850 watt, etc

[minor gyro]

honestly if furries are into any non furry media you know its good
also trans people

[ripe matrix]

I dunno if I’d necessarily call myself a furry but damn do I meet nearly every requirement to be one

[neat hazel]

again, every PSU comes from one of 4 companies

[strong cargo]

Furries know what's up. We chill and can game. What more do you want.

[neat hazel]

those are ratings, yes

what the PSU can actually output is different

the wattage rating is what it can output safely and consistently

[gaunt fox]

pulling up on outpost while all the sweats are on cryo like

[ember sandal]

ok well wtv the psu shit itself after a year

[haughty drift]

rip

[ember sandal]

the brand like started with an a

[neat hazel]

so it goes

apevia?

[whole vigil]

When are we going to be able to modify rook in terms of skins?

That would be so cool.

[nocturne abyss]

TBH... I've just been buying seasonic for like 25yrs and haven't had an issue with any of their PSUs and haven't heard of anyone really having any major issues with any of them

[neat hazel]

cuz that's the 850w I was talking about, mine was good

[haughty drift]

frrr i want rook skins

[minor gyro]

source ?

[ripe matrix]

soon-ish actually. they advertised rook skins

[whole vigil]

Yaaaaay

[gaunt fox]

#🎨marathon-community-art-chat like a week ago

[neat hazel]

if I bought a Nice PSU it would probably be an xfx due to their crazy warranties

[nocturne abyss]

you can't really go wrong with seasonic, just they are expensive

[neat hazel]

they used to offer lifetime

[ripe matrix]

they’re only mild recolours but yeah there will be some

[neat hazel]

on their GPUs too

[edgy elk]

feels like im wearing nothing at all

[ripe matrix]

one for each faction

[ember sandal]

that sounds right, but it was an 800w

[whole vigil]

I remember at some point one of the lead designers was talking about genderbent skins. I don't know if it was ever confirmed but I really would love one.

[nocturne abyss]

server PSUs for the custom built cluster i have are all seasonic as well.

[haughty drift]

yeah some of those pc components have some really REALLY good warranties

[whole vigil]

I don't know what brand of PSU I'm rocking so I had to go look at the side of my case.

[ripe matrix]

I’d kill for a female Assassin

[neat hazel]

I've used it a few times, I bought an XFX GPU off of reddit and it was DOA. hit up XFX and they not only sent me a brand new GPU without proof of purchase, they actually upgraded me to the next generation

[haughty drift]

corsair

oh wait

[ember sandal]

corsair

[haughty drift]

im stupid lmao

[ripe matrix]

I love my edgy boy but I also wanna mix it up a little

[neat hazel]

I think I purchased a 6870 and they sent me a 7770

[distant blaze]

Masc recon 🤤🤤🤤

[haughty drift]

thats why he opened it, cause he didnt know it was a corsair

[whole vigil]

There we are. Corsair Rm1000X comes with a 10-year warranty which is still good apparently.

[haughty drift]

corsair has some good warranties...terrible software

[neat hazel]

I think XFX does 25 years on their PSUs now?

[whole vigil]

Yeah I'd say nothing too.

[strong cargo]

Recon VA is one of my favorite VA. And then we get Ben Starr? Dream come true

[neat hazel]

no, they were fully aware

[ripe matrix]

same with a fem Destroyer. I want a woman who’s built like a tank to run at some motherfuckers and break some bones

[neat hazel]

they didn't have any 6870s

[whole vigil]

Don't talk to me about iCue. Somehow so much worse than synapse.

[strong cargo]

God yes

[edgy elk]

thats a 10/10 server tag im lowk jealous of it

[ripe matrix]

something like Hildryn from Warframe

[haughty drift]

i literally got off of all things corsair CAUSE OF ICUE

[rapid pebble]

kjkl

[haughty drift]

steelseries isnt much better, but at least it works lol

[distant blaze]

Gg is a piece of shit

Speaking from a steelseries stan

[haughty drift]

its not great but its better than icue

[neat hazel]

I just got an Arctis Nova pro and it's not the worst

[feral parrot]

john destroyer

[neat hazel]

having parametric EQ first party is really nice

[nocturne abyss]

I just use the steelseries app over bluetooth for config and then connect back to PC

[haughty drift]

i had to use a YEAR OLD VERSION OF ICUE cause newer versions just refused to install

[ripe matrix]

Is it crazy that I’ve had a better time with iCue than I have Razer

[neat hazel]

• the chat split interface is really good

[ripe matrix]

or are both just varying degrees of shit

[neat hazel]

synapse is really bad

[ripe matrix]

I try not to touch iCUE unless I need to

[haughty drift]

i love my steelseries cause of the game/chat mix

[nocturne abyss]

but I also do this because no linux app for steelseries 🤷

[gaunt fox]

game just crashed on me while i used a shield charge

[minor gyro]

do cores stack?

[haughty drift]

i think theres something in icue that just doesnt like certain pc setups

[edgy elk]

no

[gaunt fox]

no

[neat hazel]

go rejoin lol you can still get back in

[haughty drift]

i have no clue but like icue is perfectly fine now that i completely upgraded my pc

[ripe matrix]

iCUE seems to run fine on my AMD system

[minor gyro]

i cant run double Boutiques :((

[haughty drift]

EXACTLY

WAIT

omg it could have been intel cause im amd nowww

[ripe matrix]

I’ve got 32gb of corsair ram and a nightsword for my mouse

[gaunt fox]

it did lol no way

[neat hazel]

yeah shame you have to sit through the stupid Sony intro

we need -novid now

[haughty drift]

ive had like no problems with icue since i upgraded but i only have it for my fans which i just defaulted on my old system but now i can fully control them cause the app actually works

[ripe matrix]

two flexweave casings. I’d be the fastest fucking assassin on the planet

[haughty drift]

frfr im tired of seeing that shit

[neat hazel]

for how often the game crashes it's really bad

[grand quiver]

lemons

[ripe matrix]

GOOP

[haughty drift]

i get scared when i wanna open my map in game

[neat hazel]

use process Lasso and put the game on your second CCD

it stops a lot of the crashes surrounding overlays and the map

[haughty drift]

CCD?

[neat hazel]

your cpu has multiple chips

[haughty drift]

oh thats part of process lasso

gotcha

[neat hazel]

it's a part of your cpu

my 5950x has two chips

[nocturne abyss]

Capping framerate mostly fixed it for me

[dusty cairn]

How does one get goop, mostly keys I would assume? I am distinctly lacking any legendary salvage

[neat hazel]

threads 1-32 are on CCD1 and the rest are on CCD2. because the game is on CCD2 and almost everything else is on CCD1 nothing touches it

it helps with performance

[haughty drift]

and process lasso is an app? or is it through task manager? ive heard the name but its been ages since i messed with it

[neat hazel]

cuz no other apps are taking up those cores generally

app

[strong cargo]

I think it's insane I can game all Saturday while watching a streamer. And they crash 6+ times and I haven't crashed once since launch.

[haughty drift]

gotcha ill go see if that works

i havent crashed in a hot minute tho

[neat hazel]

it really depends on your build yeah

[neat hazel]

sure but it also just helps performance

[strong cargo]

Troooo

[neat hazel]

marathon only uses 12 threads

it will use threads 1-12 by default

[ripe matrix]

keys, bosses, pinnacle cache in outpost

[neat hazel]

wanna put it on threads that aren't used by the rest of your system

[haughty drift]

ahh i see thats smart

[neat hazel]

like I used to have frame drops streaming the game to discord

but I locked discord and the game so that they're never on any of the same cores

so now that doesn't happen

[half spire]

she cryo on my archive til i compile

[nocturne abyss]

Depends on CPU. 7950x3d is insane and this is my VM config that only assigns cores from the 3dvcache ccd

vcpu is virtual cpuset is physical

[neat hazel]

Ryzen Master will also tell you your fastest cores

[half spire]

she exfil into my archive til i be cryo'ing

[haughty drift]

i wonder if that would fix discord randomly freezing on my side monitor when im playing like baldurs gate or something intensive

[neat hazel]

yeah just make them not touch

[ripe matrix]

she overflow on my south relay till I hauler

[haughty drift]

gotcha.

[neat hazel]

process Lasso will allow you to shove applications around whatever which way

[haughty drift]

i wonder if thatll fix ANOTHER issue i have with discord where itll just crash but i wont know until i click onto discord and then it drops me out of the call and back in

discord is weird lmao

[neat hazel]

discord also just sucks so

[haughty drift]

yeahhhh

[ripe matrix]

amen to that

[neat hazel]

they don't make good software anymore

[nocturne abyss]

electron sucks

[haughty drift]

its sad they dont cause man when everyone was using skype and discord came out man was that hype

[neat hazel]

I miss irc

but also not at all

but I miss the format of irc

[ripe matrix]

I just wish discord had any solid competition

[neat hazel]

the reason why discord sucks is because it's too accessible + it's synchronous & asynchronous

[cobalt isle]

marathon in tomodachi life

[neat hazel]

full synchronous chat is better

[haughty drift]

is that old tomodachi life? i cant wait for the new one

[cobalt isle]

its the demo for the new one xd

[nocturne abyss]

discord is built on electron which is chrome + nodejs. both chrome and nodejs use the same javascript engine (v8) and so you effectively have 2 different v8 engines for each electron app running. plus javascript is an awful language for anything and discord is 99.9% js slop 😭

[haughty drift]

DEMO?!

[cobalt isle]

yup out now

[haughty drift]

OH IM RUNNING TO MY SWITCH

[cobalt isle]

yesss

[half spire]

on my way to the lose everything factory

[haughty drift]

that makes sense why ive been seeing tomodachi gameplay

[ripe matrix]

you still could afford to lose some more imo

wait till you lose upwards of 15k in one kit ,_,

[ember sandal]

take ALLLL of your golds in

trust

[half spire]

i have no golds big dog

[ripe matrix]

what golds I haven’t fucking seen them </3

I got to play around with a single gold volt thrower in one run before getting into a fight with another team at final exfil and both teams dying for it

[bold iris]

join ussss......

[ripe matrix]

that was the same run I got 7th column in actually

[digital gate]

Wait is that a pfp we can unlock?

[strong cargo]

Yeeeess YESSS

[ripe matrix]

yep! It’s for killing 7 runners in a cryo archives run

[solar birch]

if one person has all 6 subroutines can they pull other ppl into compiler fight?

[ripe matrix]

yes

[cobalt isle]

[neat hazel]

wait can subroutines be split among members or no

[ripe matrix]

no

[neat hazel]

dang

makes sense

[ripe matrix]

someone needs all 6

[minor gyro]

this map is so disheartening honestly

[ripe matrix]

the ability to open the dna scanners is reliant on your codex entries being unlocked

[minor gyro]

at least i accidentally claymored my own corpse

[ripe matrix]

I always feel naked in the archives without two stacks of claymores

[minor gyro]

not going in there as thief again

[restive patrol]

why have they still not fix the cryo exfil bug where the exfil doesn't show on the fucking map bro

[maiden parrot]

where to I write a complaint to bungie or whatever the process is.. i keep getting booted mid cryo game for seemingly no reason

checked my router and my overall connection

and theres no troubles

check my router history.. no troubles

[solar birch]

is it final? final is hidden by design

[ripe matrix]

that isn’t a bug unless it’s one you activated yourself

[restive patrol]

bro the exfil station literally appears above the map and unreachable

[ripe matrix]

are you sure that’s unreachable?

[restive patrol]

??

[minor gyro]

bro cant go through the ceiling 🤣

[ripe matrix]

that looks like the labs floor

[restive patrol]

we literally went on the labs elevator and it appears 80m above labs still

so it moves as you climb up

it doesn't show on overview map, only on your screen and it's 80m above you everytime

luckily we remember where all the exfil stations are and found 1 in panop and activated it

i have a video here that i will upload for bungie showing that if i scan again the marker disappears

what's the point of taking it off for a week if they can't even fix a simple bug

[candid goblet]

how do you check player count again

[torn hare]

Truly the concord 3 of all time 🙄

[edgy elk]

guys why isnt highguard connecting to the servers 😭

[pure prairie]

did something happen to club penguin? It's not letting me login 😭

[minor gyro]

GUYS I CANT SIGN INTO GNOP TOURNAMENTS 😭

[edgy elk]

wtf is gnop

[minor gyro]

BRO DOESNT KNOW ABOUT GNOP 😭

[edgy elk]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-dont-blink-kanye-west-gif-14253530

oh its a bungie game, thats embarassing

[novel shale]

Cuz it’s dead

Almost as dead as my ex

[ripe matrix]

It does make me a little sad that Marathon’s lowest is above D2’s highest rn

[edgy elk]

nooo i bought so much premium currency

[minor gyro]

if they shut this game down its over

[novel shale]

For the game yea

[bronze robin]

Me and my buddies have fun

Ive gotten my money out of it lowkey

[ripe matrix]

I’ve already got like 120 hours in the game

[bronze robin]

I just wish there was less culture war against it (see: D2 fan boys, Arc Raiders bots)

[novel shale]

https://tenor.com/view/boburnham-inside-netflix-internet-computer-gif-21887509

Internet starts wars almost as much as politicians do

[ripe matrix]

I think the funniest I’ve seen is any complaints about it being too woke

[bronze robin]

...Yeah...yeah

[maiden oracle]

bright color = the downfall of civillisation

[high sable]

OK so i have a theory about this

[bronze robin]

Yall watch the new dinoflask vid?

[novel shale]

In what way is it woke?

[ripe matrix]

Idfk ,_,

[bronze robin]

That's why the complaints are funny

[novel shale]

The only “woke” part are memes the community cooked up ourselves

[ripe matrix]

see: MIDA mpreg

[high sable]

someone obv used AI in election shitposting slop right? I think they sell/rent the same AI model for shitting on games at release and its fallback is calling things woke

[novel shale]

Also see: Yuri

[maiden oracle]

Bright color made me gay: a Marathon expose

[ripe matrix]

the Thief x Vandal fanfic’s gonna go so hard when it gets written

[novel shale]

much like other things

[ripe matrix]

they’re putting chemicals in the shells that’s making the runners gay

[novel shale]

Runnah, the UESC is making you gay runnah

[bronze robin]

Realistically? It's not.

If you want to wax philosophically? The game's entire premise is that your body is separate from your consciousness and the individual shells' gendered appearance has nothing to do with the gender of the runner themself.

Tl;dr: trans-humanism is trans rights

[maiden oracle]

I can't decide if bungo writing that "the UESC walked countries back from environmental disaster at gunpoint" would be considered 'woke' or not

[novel shale]

Ah yes the classic “everything is connected to the end update” type connecting of dots

[lusty orbit]

there's like 3 already

[novel shale]

Honestly the definition of woke has been lost to time at this point

[bronze robin]

🤷‍♀️

[minor gyro]

i hope this happens

[bronze robin]

Shells dont even have body parts to utilize for things

They barely have pain receptors

[novel shale]

not yet

[ripe matrix]

I do genuinely love how anything to do with robots ends up being a trans allegory if you look at it hard enough

[bronze robin]

Unironically transhumanism is trans-rights :dab:

[pure prairie]

Careful, you might make someone think and they hate doing that!

[maiden oracle]

I was like "uh?? good of the UESC to do that" but i think even mentioning anything to do with the environment for some is 'propaganda' for reasons today

[novel shale]

exceptionally dramatic gasp

[ripe matrix]

Signalis, Marathon, I’ve heard it about Ghost in the Shell, even Cyberpunk to a degree even though it’s more modifying rather than straight up androids

[bronze robin]

If you actually look really hard at the UESC vs MIDA lore, the uesc is actually, legitimately, the lesser of the 2 evils

Mida gives me bombs tho

[novel shale]

Cyberpunk is jsut prosthetics on steroids

[maiden oracle]

Guys maybe the MIDA contract where you extract a backpack full of estrogen from Dire Marsh was a bit on the nose.

[acoustic ridge]

I personally assumed shells were simply just humanoid "mech suits" (think like gundams) and instead of actually piloting it and exploding two seconds later, people just put their conscious inside to move them around and murder each other.

[hearty scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-gif-7682731162751353849

[ripe matrix]

I’m just here for the faction that’s gonna let me throw molotovs and plant claymores

[maiden oracle]

They should make the UESC a faction and limit the contracts to rook.

[pure prairie]

I won't stand for this MIDA propaganda. YEAH WE MIGHTA KILLED MILLIONS ON MARS. That was ancient history. Compared to the body count of the UESC and the gravity of their transgressions...I'll stick with the infidel punks

[ripe matrix]

right up there with Sekiguchi’s “inject yourself with estrogen and then run across the map to test the effects of it”

[bronze robin]

They are

But then that begs the question, arent our bodies just mech suits at that point? Is our consciousness not disconnected from our body in the same way?

[ripe matrix]

I mean realistically if you could print any body you wanted a lot of people would find that appealing, trans or not

[novel shale]

Now we gettin eldritch

[ripe matrix]

god I love body horror

[novel shale]

Believe that’s the whole premise of Altered Carbon

[bronze robin]

Wolves were terrifying night creatures that we tamed and bred for our own purposes

Electricity is controlled by channeling it through runes written on metal and stone

We have glowing glass slabs that have access to the entirety of human knowledge and can connect us to any other person utilizing similar objects

[hearty scaffold]

didn't know philosophy of mind was eldritch 😭

[ripe matrix]

speak of the fucking devil

I’ve summoned other Signalis enjoyers

[hearty scaffold]

signalis number 1

[pure prairie]

I mean, we call the depths eldritch because what it could be hiding, we've barely even started to break into consciousness and how our brain works. I don't think it's a stretch to call it Eldritch 🤣

[hearty scaffold]

fairs lmao

[bronze robin]

The world is naturally far more eldritch, arcane, and mystic than we give it credit for

[novel shale]

Fr

[bronze robin]

Anyway and that's why marathon is woke

[hearty scaffold]

marathon is actually woke because it has bright colours

[bronze robin]

So is roblox woke

[hearty scaffold]

yes

[ripe matrix]

checks notes yes!

[bronze robin]

Wait

Does that mean The Finals is woke?

[ripe matrix]

anyways three cheers for transhumanism

[hearty scaffold]

100%

its also got women

[ripe matrix]

you may not be ready for the answer to this

[hearty scaffold]

so it has to be woke

[ripe matrix]

doesn’t the Finals have heavy women

[pure prairie]

This is quickly turning into the "Fellas, is it gay..." meme 🤣

[ripe matrix]

I love heavy women

[bronze robin]

Fellas, is it gay to want a candle with your cake

[maiden oracle]

I love heavy (tf2)

[bronze robin]

That might be too on the nose

[ripe matrix]

fellas is it gay to tell your friends you love them

[hearty scaffold]

gay AND woke

real alpha chads don't love anyone but the grind

[maiden oracle]

Assigned ROOK at birth

[ripe matrix]

ACAB (assigned cop at birth)

[strong cargo]

Have as many candles as you want. Love your life homie

[ripe matrix]

I alway think it’s funny when people joke about kissing the homies goodnight

because like

you SHOULD be kissing your homies goodnight

tell them you love them. let your friends know they matter to you

[hearty scaffold]

I dunno, sounds pretty woke :/

[ripe matrix]

It’s only as gay as you want it to be. and fuck even if it is gay there’s nothing wrong with that

[hearty scaffold]

real shit

anti-woke people cannot comprehend living an authentic unbothered existence

[ripe matrix]

I love it when straight guys are comfortable enough to do stereotypically “gay” things

[strong cargo]

Facts. Enlightenment is hot

[pure prairie]

It's not my fault gay bars have the best drinks!

But really.

They do.

[ripe matrix]

THEY’RE FRUITY AND THEY TASTE GOOD GODDAMNIT

[pure prairie]

AND I HAVE ENTIRELY TOO MANY OF THEM EVERY TIME

[ripe matrix]

WHO CARES IF YOUR BOOZE TASTES LIKE STRAWBERRIES

ORDER THAT FUCKING PINA COLADA WITH THE LITTLE UMBRELLA IN IT

[bronze robin]

The good bartenders work at bars that are fun to work at

They also have heavy pours

[pure prairie]

Not always

Heavy pours in certain cocktails is the sign of a lazy bar tender

[ripe matrix]

not everything you drink has to taste like gasoline and dirt for it to be a real drink

[bronze robin]

I didnt say that 😭

I just meant they make a drinks mileage better

I always tip well tho so maybe it's just confirmation bias

[ripe matrix]

depends on if you wanna be hooked up or if they’re just really bad at pouring

but yeah tip your servers and bartenders well

[bronze robin]

I did restaurant work for 8 years, I always tip

[ripe matrix]

🫡

I currently work in a kitchen myself

[bronze robin]

I waited tables 4 years, cooked and managed for 4

Then did office work and died in an office chair for like 10 years :<

[pure prairie]

Always tip well, not just your servers/bartenders

[bronze robin]

Now I work on helicopters

[pure prairie]

Those tips make or break rent/food for the week 💀

I know from experience lol

[maiden oracle]

Guys 13 years ago Bioshock infinite was released, can we have a moment of respect.

[bronze robin]

I was taught that you should always tip people who touch you or your stuff

[bronze robin]

Only if you watch the new Jeff Kaplan dinoflask video

[maiden oracle]

what is that?

[pure prairie]

That's a good way to be

[minor gyro]

"tip wages" should be illegal

[pure prairie]

That would involve the bag holders holding a slightly lighter bag. That ain't gonna happen without violence 🤣

[bronze robin]

Jeff Kaplan used to be the face of Overwatch and left Blizzard because they kept trying to monetize the shit out of it while he kept trying to keep it just a fun arena shooter

He was famous for going on a multi-post manifesto rant about the balance of a specific dungeon in either EQ or WoW

He eventually joined blizzard and worked up into the company

A youtuber named dinoflask would create ytp videos of Jeff by mashing up his monthly "state of play" videos

They were always hilarious and he often had extended B plots throughout the series

[ripe matrix]

I fucking hate tipping culture but while it’s a thing I’m gonna tip well

ain’t their fault the system’s broken

[minor gyro]

[TOS violation]

[bronze robin]

mida tag

Theyre within bounds

[ripe matrix]

Traxus didn’t like that

[pure prairie]

It's not a call to violence if it's acknowledging the reality of the situation 🤷‍♂️

[minor gyro]

oh no yeah

[pure prairie]

I'm square my dude 😎

[minor gyro]

like were gonna have water wars

thats just going to happen

[pure prairie]

yup

[bronze robin]

Mida will exist in reality and it may even be called mida

[minor gyro]

that would be epic

[bronze robin]

It would likely be well after our time

But it's nonzero

[maiden oracle]

Im going to mod MIDA into xcom

[bronze robin]

Luckily it slots in almost anywhere that you have a morally dubious large scale police force

[ripe matrix]

Cyberpunk…

[minor gyro]

you mean "the news"

OH SHIT I GOT AN OUTLAND

[ripe matrix]

HUGE

I’ve got one sitting in my vault and I’m waiting for a good opportunity to use it in ranked

[minor gyro]

time to lose it in the freezer

[strong cargo]

Lmao that phrasing is hilarious

Left it in the freezer, damm

[minor gyro]

im here forever
