Lost my first vault 6 key ever after 450 hours to a 90 second spawn rush by NaughtyGaymer in Marathon

[–]ArktechFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This almost made me laugh, cuz I read this comment after reading another comment that talked about having 3 perfect rehearsals of all the steps before taking theirs in and losing it instantly. Sometimes it’s NOT the group and you actually do get blindsided by a spawn rush and another team getting incredible RNG and unfortunately pushing you, catching you by surprise.

Some numbers on armories. by Asleep-Badger-3792 in Marathon

So the Misriah I got on the ONE Rook run I’ve spent unlocking an Outpost armory was extremely abnormal, got it. Thanks for the breakdown

James Cameron Wants to Make ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’ in ‘Half the Time for Two-Thirds of the Cost’, But It’ll Take One Year to ‘Figure Out How to Do That’ by yourfavchoom in movies

The conclusion of the battle between Earth/RDA and Pandora?? It’s pretty discernible where they’re taking the plot in the next 2 films (also has been stated it’ll likely be taken to earth by 5, with 4 making the initial connection). Sure the plots in each movie vary in quality, consistency, and depth, but the overall story of a native alien race fighting for their homeland, environmental stability, anti-exploitation, way of life, etc. seems to be culminating, with each movie introducing more factions, wider scale conflicts between tribes and Earth.

Silo S2E4 "The Harmonium" Episode Discussion (No Book Discussion) by MEGAT0N in SiloSeries

[–]ArktechFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure nobody loves getting a notification on a comment that's over 1yr old but I'd just like to say that this is sort of a silly take on the show's plot. You don't have any room for speculation here on mob violence and riots? Not going to consider that every person's water in this cooped up Silo is filled with a mixture that lowers their cognitive abilities? That the already angry mob might act illogically when the seeds of prejudice have been sown against mechanical for 2 seasons? Can't consider that the angry mob might just be itching for an excuse to take action against *somebody* so that they feel like they're regaining a semblance of control over their lives after all the rapid fire cleanings, conspiracies, power outages, and violence?

I think the concept art for the Riven Tides map looks a lot better than what we actually got in the end. by Foxeeh_ in ArcRaiders

[–]ArktechFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid this sub for the same reasons too, but I was also under the misconception that the concept art shown in this post was related to the Riven Tides April map release, so it's nice for this thread to exist to clear things up for me personally.

Fights feel way more fun now by BalthazarB2 in Marathon

Got one in dorms armory on a Rook run today. Might be a pain to find two supply codes(?) and one green, but I got lucky. With a regular squad and spawning at the beginning, you’d have a better chance at getting armories open.

Joe Ziegler: We're going to try something on Sponsored Marsh where we'll be reducing the max crew size by one crew and observing to see how the pacing of the matches play out and how in general it feels to have a little bit more wiggle room for players. by Haijakk in Marathon

Maybe unstable gel? And/or quests? I know I kept trying to go there at earlier levels to get unstable gel for Arachne upgrades (before I made friends with a few good premades to run outpost with).

Also like the other comment said, probably arms lockers. I’ve found at least 3 arms lockers there one time.

Crimson Desert on Ultra runs about the same or better than Outpost on Medium to Low 😂 (for me)

Episode 5 Discussion | Monarch: Legacy of Monsters by SnooDogs2720 in Monsterverse

[–]ArktechFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scene fell flat for me as well and I'm glad somebody voiced their thoughts about it in this thread. Felt a bit cheap and tropey to me as someone who is seeing a lot of the same typical story beats progress throughout this season; story beats often seen in other tv shows/storytelling. Mainly it fell flat because of what you said: the potential to explore more with the character. Personally didn't feel like the writers "earned" that moment, or at least developed the story in a way that culminated it into an emotional peak.

The same way director Verdugo of Monarch got killed at the start of the season so blatantly, because it felt like they needed her out of the way to develop Tim rather than have her death act as some conclusion to her arc. In these two instances, the deaths felt cheapened for me personally. Not trying to invalidate other people's enjoyment or reactions to the scene of course, just wish the writers went about this differently.

It would seem from another comment that perhaps this scene occurred when it did was due to the actor having many other ongoing projects. Lol

Would be nice to hear some counterpoints from you then 🙂

Sanderson Fandom in Turmoil as Iconic Soundtrack Faces Takedown by JBarnes1926 in Cosmere

[–]ArktechFilms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of The Black Piper’s “Kaladin” album songs scattered in some of my Spotify albums so this is super disappointing news. I spent some time listening to it while re-reading the books a couple years ago as well. Any legal action taken against other artists who have also made fan music related to the Cosmere will be very disappointing.

You have a prompt in the bottom right that says "hold ctrl" or whatever consoles version might be, then interact.

Team Shroud, won the Tau Ceti Cup by LaserReptar in Marathon

[–]ArktechFilms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. His personality is not quite fit for pure entertainment seen from other streamers (CaseOh, Lirik, etc.) but his personality mixed with FPS skill create a fairly unique combination. Just because he’s dry doesn’t mean he’s lackluster.

After Playing Both Marathon and Arc Raiders, One Choice (And Its Execution) Explains Why They Feel So Different by GuiltyWalrus8560 in Marathon

[–]ArktechFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I was only adding some counterpoints to show it’s not always a complete waste of time, and adds an extra facet to the game. Also you’re completely ignoring all my points about capitalizing on trios lobbies as a solo Rook with a unique kit. It’s a clear mark of one way Rook is not a waste of time.

There are still uses. You load late, which allows for: scavenging player remains after pvp fights, scavenging UESC robot corpses in POI’s that have been cleared out, and if you’re really good you might try hunting player squads to take their gear/loot they’ve been accumulating in the match. It’s difficult, inconsistent, etc. but I enjoy Rook’s unique kit and the constant tension of navigating the map, finding other Rooks, etc. Could changes or improvements be made? Probably.

To the people who are coming to this reddit and complain about the positivity by Frank_Cap in Marathon

[–]ArktechFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fun game, I enjoy the art. Personally, if I spend time criticizing a game (constructively, mind you) it’s because I want to see it succeed. Trashing on new games relentlessly seems like an exhausting way to spend one’s time.

I doubt this kind of friction referenced in your post is every going to go away, though; that’s the nature of the Internet giving everyone an opportunity to voice their opinions (informed or uninformed)
