Cool concept (that I've seen many times over the years) but let's be so real right now. If this were an actual thing, I do not think the message would appear on Social Media where it would be disregarded easily. Something like this would latch on to something that would land as strange. Imagine playing a game and a loading screen tip is like "YOU HAVE BEEN IN A COMA FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS. WAKE UP." followed by "Press G to use your Super when the gauge is full." You'd be a little tripped up.

Blue check bot account at it again. If she weren't a clanker, I'd have to point back and say something nonsensical like "if a girl is over 25 and still goes on shopping sprees for hours every weekend, that is a major red flag. Grow up and get a real hobby and stop being bad with your money." Your hobbies are real to you. That's the fucking point.

My suggestion to developers and publishers is to stop inflating budgets tbh.

The Civil War was fought with different weapons, by very different people than the people we have today. Men who fought in the civil war then weren't nearly as pussified as the gen pop today. At least 2 enjoys target practice and crazy shit. It's like picking a fight with a roided out meth-head. Good luck.

Hard agree on this post. I don't agree with Blu that often, either. I don't know what this person was thinking. The only two games that come even close, and still aren't it, are Warframe and Div2. Neither are as engaging, as good, or as fun as Destiny 2. Not a single one outshines. I remember when The Division was looked at prerelease as a "Destiny killer" and it didn't do anything to Destiny. Fun game though.

If I were "wrong and cope" then why block? Surely you could back up your argument with facts and logic. Surely you could tell us how this developer vibe coded his game and generated all his assets too? But you can't. Because he didn't. The only thing wrong and cope is your opinion. My opinion is you should have been swallowed.

In 1995 I had a computer that was running Windows 95. A Packard Bell machine that had a 40mb hard drive in it. Forty. Megabytes. And some Intel processor I forget. Pretty sure it was pentium, but who knows. I was still a kid. I didn't care about anything except playing PC games, emulation of SNES and NES games (and GB when that became a thing) and getting into chatrooms on anime sites like the ol' GingaGriGri, I think it was spelled. AOL was fun too, later on, for a walled garden. I'd love to go back to then. Things were so simple compared to now. I genuinely believe social media like FB, Insta, Snap, TikTok, Twitter, etc all had a big hand in ruining society, and destroying the mysticism of the Internet itself.

Hey cis person here: both are bad, actually. We shouldn't be doing anything like this to children. We should leave them alone, even.

Why? Because they're different equations. Similar, but different. PEMDAS/BODMAS, you multiply first. This means, on the left: 300x2=600 600 100=700. On the right: 100x2=200 200 300=500. Of course it's just blue check engagement for dollars, so screenshot instead of share, because there's no way someone calling themselves an engineer of any kind wouldn't know this.

Largely agree, but wanted to drop in some opinions of my own. You say they "took Destiny money" to make Marathon, but that's not quite right. They took Sony's money. Sony had to greenlight this and allocate the funding. Destiny might have given Sony a bunch of money, but in the end, it's Sony's money, not Bungie's, to spread as they need. This is an important distinction, because it shuffles that from Bungie/Destiny to Sony. "Realistically the games been dead for a lot of people after the conclusion of the Light and Dark saga." 100%. You can see the numbers drop pretty clearly after that point, and it's the general sentiment of a lot of people who have either moved on to Marathon, or are off to play something else entirely (Warframe, the Division, etc) To outsiders, this infighting seems crazy. It's pathetic, and it's sad. Hell, even to a lot of people inside the community, it's pathetic and sad. We all want to be heard, we all want Destiny 3, but there's nothing wrong with packing it up and moving on too. I like both Destiny and Marathon. I've had someone random queue with me and ask the team what they thought, and when I said "Marathon's pretty good, actually. Has a lot of issues, but it's a good game overall" he went completely psychotic and screaming about how we're traitors for playing Marathon and we're killing Destiny... Do these people not see how crazy they sound when they do things like this? Of course not. They're either behaving on emotion, or they're just taking action because their favorite grifter told them "Marathon bad, it's at fault for Destiny's death" when that's just not the full truth. Your take is a valid, salient take. Wrong fight, wrong people. I said it after the Final Shape wrapped up in a Deep Stone Lullaby video that we shouldn't cry because it's over, we should smile because it happened. We made a lot of friends along the way. All things have an end, but your memories live on as long as you can remember them.

Very easily. Windows, for all of it's bullshit and issues, is a lot more user friendly than Linux is, even on it's easiest distros. Features like this are really cool, and Linux is very lightweight and snappy, which is what we all want... But a lot of entertainment relies on the Windows kernel. From the Technical Support perspective, your average user doesn't want to worry about anything. They just want to turn the computer on and use it. Linux, for all of it's good, does have a lot of pain points for regular, non-tech minded folk who still exist in high numbers. This stuff is very cool. I think everyone should try it (dualboot or vm if you aren't sure/not ready to commit) but the question "how can you choose Windows over Linux" is very easily answered by ease of use and the fact that everything you actually want to use is compatible. Linux has compatibility layers you can use (proton, wine, etc) but a lot of people are NOT looking to do all that. They just wanna double click and go on with the day.

Same thing "you people" (see what I did there?) talk about men. Wdym meal ticket, dick appointment, ATM, etc. Everyone's disgusting. You get stuck behind the 8-ball, you'll never get out in front.

Logged onto Destiny 2 to see how things are... Was greeted with the Renegades intro mission and was like "hell yeah, apparently I have the DLC!" Well... I don't. And when I realized that, I quickly logged back off. I just can't get it right now, so there's not much reason to play.

In the right Discord servers, I'm unhinged. Especially when I make fun of monsterfuckers.

I'm not a believer, I'm not even Christian anymore, but this statement is rooted in bad faith (pun intended) argumentation. If we are to take the "word of God" at face value, he did not create perfect beings, nor did he intend for us to live in a paradise post apple. Once kicked from the Garden, that "perfect, utopian paradise" that he created in the Garden of Eden was no longer ours to have. Now we have everything else, and it's ugliness to go with it. We were not perfectly created, and so we get "child cancer" and other illnesses and problems, some of which by the way, are of our own making because we were also given free will for that Divine Comedy. The Christian God is nothing if not without a dark sense of humor. Humans are greedy, vile creatures who fight each other for what the other has. That's why we have Mussolini's and Hitlers that have existed. Ghengis Khan. Endless wars for territory and resources. The amount of life on this planet is bound to give rise to disease, and when we work on cures, we also synthesize new problems to be dealt with later. God is not "kind" in the sense that you or I can perceive. His Kindness apparently is that we are here at all, to live the lives we live, to do the things we do. To us, God has no passion, no love, and no care. An absentee father to a flock he gave up on until he supposedly had his "only begotten son" Jesus Christ die on the cross for your sins and mine for all eternity. A completely unnecessary thing, if you think about it, since he can just hand wave it and just say "fine, I forgive you of your sins and I'm sorry for being a hardass." But we can't know a God's works because we are just mortals who live short lives on the cosmic scale. So yes. Evil people did and do exist. Bad things do happen. We can shake our fist and say "if God were kind, he would not make us suffer so" but man, if you were reading a book and there was no conflict in it whatsoever, would you think it was a good book? I wouldn't. Gotta have the bad shit to feel it when the good shit happens too. You can be mad at invisible guys in the sky, but that doesn't absolve you of anything, least of all your desire to argue in bad faith that something doesn't exist or isn't worth believing in purely because you're jilted. I have never once had a Christian knock at my door to spread the word. I've seen Mormons though, and they are not the same thing. Happy pride month. I hope that you can find your happiness and your peace. You are valid. You deserve to exist. You deserve to be left alone, and no one has any right to tell you who you can love.

Log in to Marathon for Season 2. First game: Can't connect. Second game: Can't connect. Third game: Can't connect. Fourth game: Connected, DC'ed 3 minutes later. Fifth game: Can't connect. Sixth-Ninth game: Can't connect. Tenth game: Connected, DC'ed 10 minutes later. Come on, @MarathonTheGame. Don't buy your servers on Temu and stop doing a Bungo. I was looking forward to S2. Now back to @HuntShowdown because while their servers suck, I don't get DC'ed every game.

It'd be crazy if tomorrow's state of play reveals Destiny 3 or something and all this shit was just to drum up press. That'd be a genius move, in an emotionally manipulative way.
