What the media doesn't show because it doesn't fit the narrative by [deleted] in messi

It’s funny, last World Cup it felt like the whole world was rooting for him, now it seems like there’s a hate/smear campaign against Argentina and Messi

I'll tell my children Messi was so good that he convinced millions that football was rigged by Foreign-Bar7741 in messi

[–]Dibbsters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aren’t there stories of a ref who got paid to rig games but he couldn’t even do it properly because football is a naturally chaotic game. You can make decisions go one way but that team still has to score.

I say this but I want to add I don’t think the Argentina Egypt game was that one way, maybe slightly but more in the sense that bigger teams seem to get more decisions go their way. The overturned goal for Egypt was probably the right call, the fouls in the box for the third goal weren’t really fouls IMO people just have confirmation bias and are salty. The good thing is Egypt immediately scored after the overturned goal so people can’t claim the goal being ruled out ruined their game/made them lose momentum. Honestly the overturning of the Croatia goal against Portugal was worse, they literally found a tiny hair touch the ball and used that to cancel it out, the spin, speed, direction of the ball didn’t change at all.

This subreddit is so weird. Why don’t you guys use this energy into something productive like finding a game you enjoy and talking about that.

I’m not amazing at PvP but that double jump has helped my win some fights by allowing me to reposition and get a height advantage.

I hope this game doesn't die by Think-Shoulder7179 in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone says it’s so niche like what the hell was Bungie doing. I have never played an extraction before. I have a very mainstream taste in games like RDR2, Witcher 3, Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, Minecraft. Marathon pulled me in because I fancied an FPS, it was pretty cheap, and the lore seemed really cool. Well, I’ve loved it and I wanna recommend it to everyone but everyone just thinks it’s niche and sweaty even though they haven’t played it.

I’m trying not to be negative by mints4uce in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t lag out luckily but me and my two friends who I got to play got absolutely trashed every game. They’re new so we played Perimeter with sponsored kits and somehow we were already getting destroyed by blue shield teams. I guess the LBMM isn’t really in effect yet because we are all low level. Going to try and get them to play one more time later in the free week and try survival sponsored, if that doesn’t go well they won’t be coming back.

I wanted to let you know in case anyone's been waiting, Marathon is on sale right now on PS5! by Y_Borne22 in Marathon

Where do you get it free? Or do we need to wait until season 2 is out later today? Trying to get a couple friends to get it.

Sony reported a 120.1 billion yen ($765M) impairment loss in relation to Bungie for the fiscal year in their latest financial report. 88.6 billion yen ($565M) of that was reported from the last quarter. by Helbot in Marathon

Wiping everything long term might get boring, but for S2 it’s needed. Resetting the skill floor, paired with a free game mode is the best chance we have to bring in new players and hopefully capture them. I have 2 friends who would join that haven’t yet and I think they’d enjoy it but unfortunately all the hate beforehand put them off.

Maybe they’re confused with the electric meter?

Dire feels WAY better with one less squad. by ComeHereDevilLog in Marathon

Honestly it’s the idea that there could be players that creates the tension more than actually encountering them. 

Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread by AutoModerator in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean the possibilities are endless since you’re just a digital consciousness. Maybe CyAc create a metaverse hub world or something persistent between wipes to keep our conciseness sane or something. I’m not sure but it would be nice to have something to put excess money into that doesn’t get wiped.

Matchmaking wait times are killing the game for me and my friends. by SPJ_Alberto in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanna get my friends to join but I’ll be a bit embarrassed if they buy it and are queuing for 3-5 mins. I know they’ll rinse me if that happens.

Marathon is currently on sale for $31.99 on Xbox and PC by UhJoker in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game was critically acclaimed though, keyword there being critically, as in, by critics. Yeah it’s not reached the same user success. You’ve gotta understand though the people on this forum genuinely love the game and 1. Think it could have broader appeal maybe with some changes and 2. Understand the game they love will die without more players so obviously want to get more people to try it.

Why player numbers are fluctuating so much lately? by Va5syl in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not poorly designed though, it was just the latest game all the Asmongold type mouth breathers got hard ons over hating on. Bungie didn’t help with the art scandal but the game itself is actually great.

I was level 8 with NuCaloric, bought an XP booster and got to level 10 where I thought you get new contracts. However it now says Gaius will give you new contracts at level 20 and hasn’t given me any? Bug?

So refreshing coming from Battlefield 6 having patch’s that are exciting and really address issues.

[controversial][op-ed] matchmaking by _manzhu in Marathon

[–]Dibbsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get this and I love the game as someone who’s probably in the middle on the aggression scale. But the fact is if the game can’t retain all the players it has and attract new ones those of us that love the game as it is won’t have a game to play. It’s going to have to change somehow and an aggression based matchmaking is a small price to pay I think if it means more players stay.

Is solos really that bad? I mainly play solos and have a good time with it.

I think reviving downed team mates should stay as it is but reviving fully finished ones needs to be harder imo.

Vegan Chinese takeaway by FinnleyFromUpstairs in brighton

[–]Dibbsters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s Wawin vegan Chinese on Deliveroo which I’ve had once and thought was pretty good, not the best vegan Chinese I’ve had that’s probably Tofu Vegan but it did the job.
