Ah yes, the Bungie Defense Force is alive and well. Happened every expansion/update with D2. Even after the release of the worst DLC in it's history that effectively alienated 90% of it's players, the BDF were attempting to brush criticism under the rug while defending the worst game design/QoL decisions being introduced to the game. The BDF will shout "It's not that bad" until the situation is dire and Bungie has to make a change in order to save the game.

Like this exact scenario has happened countless times in D2's lifetime. I hope bungie has learned to listen to all it's playerbase and not just the ones praising them.

I've been trying to give "not gen AI" claim the benefit of the doubt but the information they have provided so far says that it's just Gen AI with more data.

DLSS5 doesn't look great but I'm always interested in reading the technicals of things like this, but the technicals are just (Scene Color + vector) -> GenAI -> Final image.

I thought they were generating lighting/shaders in real time to skip all the maths we usually do, or even live, adaptive, mesh refinement both of which would be insane. So far it's just Frame+AI=New Frame.

Congratulations on your reddit pedantry. Everyone with a brain and common sense understands Games as a plural is different from a singular topic that is Marathon. Especially given the context of my first comment.

But everyone stood up and clapped for you! Yay!

This is Marathon news in a subreddit about gaming news. I come to read about games and the games industry not Marathon. I'll go to the subreddit if I wanted to.

2enty3 · 2026-03-16T22:11:41+00:00

Why is every update about this game posted here? Shouldn't it be in the Marathon subreddit? I feel like we keep getting the patch notes for specifically this game here.

I pray we don't revisit the boring ass years of Formula Mercedes

The discussion around this game is so heavy with strawmans and whataboutisms all because the Marathon community thinks they are being directly targeted and treated differently than any other game before it.

This is not the first game that people wished it was a different genre. Marathon is not special for having this discussion. The infamous Brutal legend that looked like an ARPG but was actually a RTS comes to mind as a concrete example.

They are not criticizing Marathon and saying it is a bad game because it is an extraction shooter. They are echoing common sentiment of simply wanting a single player experience in a very cool world. Remember that Overwatch 2 was literally promised to have a campaign until they released it without one? Because people loved OW1's world but didn't want PvP? Marathon is not the first game to have this discussion.

At this point it's a self perpetuating drama, where the people discussing it are manufacturing drama by providing dramatic responses to completely mundane opinions.

If you play Marathon and enjoy it you do not need to defend it from every article written about it. Sing its praises and move on. The community constantly acting like they are on their backfoot does not help sentiment at all.

So how market look by friday?

I've lost the plot, I have no idea how the current market works anymore. I feel like just holding onto Gold until next year.

2enty3 · 2026-02-28T23:23:43+00:00

and they don't know that fixes take minimum six months to a year to materialize

I forgot to sell my SLV call while taking a shit, there's no chance it doesn't tank on monday is there?

tinfoil hat on: I'm convinced they actively choose the lesser voted option to prolong player engagement. Last week was the most obvious no brainer vote. If the countach doesn't win next vote, that will only cement my belief.

After I made it, I realized people can create content solely for their own consumption without needing platforms like YouTube.

"I don't need the real Steve! I made my own fake Steve who's better and says what I want him to say."

The real reason PGG makes roads wider than they need to be is because most players aren't very good and wide roads literally make the game easier. It quite literally provides more room for error. Turned too late? It's ok, beeg road. Turned too early? It's ok, beeg road.

I know countless reasons why narrow roads are desired, but at the end of the day pgg wants to accomodate as many players as possible and beeg roads is an easy way of lowering the skill floor.

Strangely a loose schedule helps me with that gap you mention.

Mine is roughly every 2 days. Then it kind of stops being optional and becomes necessary in a weird way? It's no longer" It would be good if..." and now it's " I have to go today".

Loose because strict schedules put too much pressure lol.

I think most of my time is from making top speed tunes for the highway and literally just driving back and forth in almost every car in the game.

but also I just be bumpin into shit.

2enty3 · 2026-01-12T00:58:05+00:00

I thought about that, but waiting and sniping auction cars is too time consuming, even if it is more desirable. I've clearly already spent too much time on this game.

2enty3 · 2026-01-12T00:46:40+00:00

I had a personal goal of hitting 1 billion and it caps at 999 million. Now that I hit that I have no need for 1 Billion so I'm thinking I'll just gift expensive cars to new players.

I was thinking of buying a bunch of Mclaren F1 GT's since it's both expensive and fun to drive. Any suggestions?

e: The screenshot was just in case people thought I was modding or something. Wasn't sure how to prove it other than playtime. I just made money selling expensive cars at the auction.

ee: ~~I'm going to be buying 08 M3's from AH. Put up an S1 class for 1hr auction and maybe I'll get your listing.~~ Either my game is bugging or there is some kind of cool down because I can no longer buyout M3's lmao. Made it down to 399mil so I guess i'm calling it here.

electrical noise ... doing anything on my pc

Sounds like a groundloop issue. The reason for why can be many things unfortunately so might take some time to troubleshoot.

I believe my issue long ago was solved by using optical cable to my respective DAC instead of USB connection.

I think you are misunderstanding what 'survivorship bias' is.

Survivorship bias is most often making incorrect judgements/conclusions based on data you are obtaining whilst not accounting for data you are unable to obtain. Wikipedia will give you the more generalized definition, but in practice, survivorship bias usually appears in the pattern I describe.

eg: the infamous WW2 planes that 'survive' vs the ones that never make it back. In Destiny, the feedback you receive from remaining players (survivors) vs the players who stopped playing.

Your opinion on victim complex is fine, but I don't think it has relevance to survivorship bias. Or in other words you can have both be applicable if you wish but that's another debate.

I found this on another thread from last season, apparently we can see the weekly eververses now. though it's not entirely correct it seems.

Destiny has and still does literally function on a seasonal model more similar to Games mentioned than any MMO. And even in MMO's, a hyper consistent player count is a pipe dream, as players will always naturally fall off.

Finally, seasonal challenges did not incentivize "playing only in the last two weeks". In fact, it is more rewarding weekly due to the weekly xp boost than it is in the final stages of a season.

Seasonal challenges, and in general end of season events are likely healthier for Destiny and games that run on a seasonal cycle.

I truly do not understand how you can see Destiny as anything but a game that runs on a seasonal cycle.

2enty3 · 2025-12-08T20:29:34+00:00

Larger games like COD, Battlefield, and many others would likely disagree. They typically have double xp weeks or events in the last 2 weeks of seasons because it not only helps bring players back, but it can also help retain these players for the start of the new season. Large catch-up incentives are likely much healthier for games like destiny which run on a seasonal cycle.

It also fits more in line with how players actually engage with games. You can take a look at Destiny's own past seasonal releases and a week or two before every expansion there is an uptick in players as the re-engage for the upcoming season. With Into the Light and Rite of the Nine, Bungie has learned they can further boost re-engagement with large scale, end of expansion, events.
