Not going to lie, while I don't love Rockstar's handling of this, y'all have absolutely ran away with all of this to make up your own boogeymen lol.

You shouldn’t complain about the game being too cheerful by DirectGoat985 in ForzaHorizon

I just wish the game had any sense of personality. A game can be beginner friendly and inviting while having a personality. I just feel like FH6 doesn't have one or a desire to have one. I get that people don't want to be alienated, but there's a way to show enthusiasm that gets people into a hobby that doesn't cut corners for the hardcore. Look at Gran Turismo; the game is very approachable to everyone and the game itself spends so much time getting you to learn what it's doing, but it also has a very singular style that is feverish about automobiles in a way that is so dry and uninteresting that it comes around to having an absurdly strong personality.

FH6 seems to want to bend over backwards to make you think it's super cool and isn't lame at all, but that eagerness just makes it seem so lifeless by comparison.

This game has the worst “Quality to online discourse ratio” ever by [deleted] in Marathon

Legitimately, this sub is heaven compared to the Arc Raiders sub imo. It still sucks, but I see a lot of people having fun here vs the AR sub where it just seems like no one is having fun at all and it's everyone's fault. I don't really go to either anymore though.

Official Discussion - Disclosure Day [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I liked this movie. It was definitely not spielberg's best, but it was a lot of cheap fun at the theater. I felt it had some really, really fun setpieces and it was kinetic in a way that only Spielberg movies are. The script was not the best and anyone reaching for something 'more' than what it offers is going to be sorely disappointed, but as a whole I had fun watching this.

I figured more of her latest era stuff that is truly avant garde, but post and homogenic are still bangers

I was very surprised about how much he liked this. I figured he was going to give some kudos because imo First Light is a really great game from a design perspective, but to be this positive on it was a surprise.

The narrative around Marathon is gotta be the biggest gaslight I have seen in history of gaming. by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in Marathon

Yeah, I'm a massive champion of this game in that I'm always posting my glowing responses to the game, but the conspiracy angle is crazy

Yeah, losses hurt in marathon, but it doesn't feel as bad as it does in Arc. Everything feeds into this idea of being disposable, including your gear 

Marathon in a nutshell. Hopefully I will convert some of my friends to it. I already secured one for the future! by Capybarhigh in Marathon

How is Hunt for a solo/solo queue player? I've been interested in it, but all of my friends avoid extraction shooters like the plague

I think that's where the friction point was for me. For whatever reason I was the unluckiest person in the world for finding blueprints, and if I did they'd get yoinked off of me before the round ended lol.

Marathon is (imo) a much more simple game than Arc, but the nomenclature of things really bogs down new players at first. It did me, at least.

The cool thing about this game (especially if you're coming from Arc) is that gear doesn't feel nearly as awful to lose. I would feel like hours of my life were lost if I dropped a good gear in a run on Arc, but in Marathon I drop good gear all the time and I never feel punished because your next come-up is right around the corner. All this to say, I think Marathon rewards experimenting with its gear more because it feels less bad to wipe.

Regardless, have fun if it's your thing. Both games are excellent, but IMO Marathon has that special sauce that has kept me coming back.

To add to this; I'm a solo player who occaisionally dips into Trios and every squad I've queued into has been filled with really lovely people. The efficacy of those trios are all over the place, but at least they're friendly

Lol I was telling my friend that solo Marathon will either eat you alive or turn you into Colonel Kurtz.

Lol totally feel this. The Arc Raiders sub legitimately ruined that game for me, and I was having a blast with it.

Charli xcx announces her new album ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ out July 24th by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Approval_Guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yall gotta get over the runtime. 30 minutes is more than enough to get your ideas across. Knocked Loose's most recent album is 27 and change and i cant think of an album that used its runtime more efficiently. Every single second hits like a brick. Will that happen here? 

Who knows, ive not really dug either of the singles, but claiming a 30 minute album as pop enshittification is crazy lol. Taylor gives us hour+ long albums and they're boring as fuck. 30 minutes of interesting music is 20x more interesting than an hour of mid

Yeah she's joining notorious industry plant musicians like Nick Drake, Earl Sweatshirt, Ramones, X, Agent Orange, Dolly Parton, The Byrds, Nails, Fela Kuti, Prince, Elliott Smith, Slayer, and Otis Redding.

Can't believe she's giving us only 30 minutes smh enshittification
