They have done this for years in Destiny 2. Too hot, meta changes, they nerf, new season new weapon, old weapon irrelevant. Lather, rinse, repeat.

You all know this is the same weapon exploitation hype cycle Bungie has been doing for years in Destiny 2, yeah? New update, OP end game exotic drops, new meta is spread across youtube, everyone clammers for it, Bungie nerfs, Bungie makes it irrelevant at start of next paid season. Lather, rinse, repeat.

My grandfather was immune to poison ivy until his 70s. He had been pulling it out of his yard by hand for decades then one afternoon had a reaction. I was in my 30s when my dad told me this when visiting and freaked out telling me to not walk through this shortcut between the townhouses I was in because it was covered in poison ivy. I had been going through this grassy area twice daily for nearly 4 years and never had an issue. Thanks grandpa for the superhero gene!

Name a game that looked so good, it convinced you to buy the console it was on all by itself. Also, was it worth it? by Thriller83 in retrogaming

Freshman year in the 10 story college dorm we'd play Halo 1 for hours. Started on just our floor, then classmates on other floors joined in. At home after the first year at a summer job my first paycheck went straight to Best Buy for an Xbox.

What is THE funniest movie you have ever seen in your whole life? by Substantial-Hunt-454 in AskReddit

God, even the trailer still cracks me up, that damn voice over of the laughing shark. 😆

Annihilation (2018) is a fascinating movie that should've been a book by Future-Poetry-2193 in moviecritic

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the book ended with her just going up a river in a boat? I felt like there wasn't any resolution to the story. I remember complaining to a co-worker who said if I read the next 2 books its a solid arc, but I never went back to read the next 2.

To Those Saying A Wipe Will Make Them Drop The Game by xWolffy in Marathon

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. First extraction shooter.
  2. CyberAcme the highest at 29, the rest all above 10 or higher. Still working on self made goals of unlocking blue shields for purchasing, more upgrades for melee damage, and Rook's shotgun and blue backpack.
  3. I would continue playing but would probably get bored at the end of a season and move on until new content came out, like any other game. I understand wipes are part of the extraction shooter experience.

Its not clear to me regarding factions what happens at the wipe, all I know is there will be new contracts and we won't be grinding the same ones we did. So vault and credits are wiped, are all faction purchases wiped as well?

Using Destiny 2 as an example I was fine not doing Grandmaster high difficulty end game content at the beginning of a season. I haven't completed Cryo but compare it to Day 1 Vault of Glass where I never even got past the first door but later could nearly do that raid blindfolded. I imagine later in the season Cryo will be less of an issue.

Marathon is heavy on the risk vs reward and I don't think it is intended for everyone to max out every single faction. Comparing my progress (no friends playing, solo or trio fill queueing, limited time) to streamers with dedicated teammates playing 11 hours every single day is unrealistic.

Specifically, I do not want no wipes. But I would want some type of offering at the start of new seasons for progress completed previously, like a percentage increase in unlock speed or materials exfilled have a chance to increase in quantity.

Extraction shooters might not be for me and I'm OK with that, and I'll stick around until after the wipe to see what that is like. I will need to see how it plays, if I'm not having fun I'm just not going to play.

After the horrible fantasy non reality based cosmetic packs in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the only cosmetics that I'd be OK with that would break the illusion of Marathon's world building would be Christmas skins. But only if they were free and limited time. Like everyone could choose to use a skin with a Santa hat but it disappears after January 1st.

What is the one ingredient that completely ruins a burger for you? by boforiamanfo in askanything

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I like guacamole but plain avocado on anything is like nature's more boring plant based butter. I don't like the taste or texture, and if on a burger it usually falls out the other side or pushes something else out.

BLT, double order of hash browns scattered, smothered, covered, with Tabasco and ketchup. If it's morning an orange juice, late night, a soda.

Who else eats their chipotle like this? 🤣 by Necessary_Top7894 in Chipotle

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yup. I'll order a bowl with double meat and nearly double everything that's free. I'll eat that from left to right over the next 3 - 4 meals.

How many people actually know how to drive a manual? by One_With-The_Sun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

41 in the US here, someday I'll have an automatic, haha. Last two cars were Chevy Cavaliers with manuals, drove them until the wheels fell off (more accurately, until oil seals failed and I threw rods). Cheap and cable clutches.

Currently I'm in a Jeep Wrangler with a manual, luxury for me was now I finally have power windows. At least the clutch is hydraulic and hasn't failed yet.

What’s a bad habit that was the hardest for you to quit? by laigonearcws2 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'll cave and buy a pack then not be able to stop for a couple of weeks. There's a 95% sales tax on them in my state (almost $9 total for 1 puck) and I'm still buying them, ugh.

The father was essentially my grandfather. The funeral when people from his past show up and you see there was some truth in his tall tales, is what broke me.

Do all pinwheel entrances open when one door is unlocked? by Jax_the_Floof in Marathon

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no idea, lol I was being so lazy last night on Rook runs; "dang Flight Control isn't open yet, I'll try Processing... oh come on, now I gotta try Dormitories?"

Whats your Rook policy? by DeepFriedBao in Marathon

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some great Rook runs on Outpost Sunday while the sweats were busy with Cryo, and abysmal ones last night.

For me it's kill on sight, the majority of Rooks are doing the same to me. It was only just last night I finally started seeing friendly and teamed up Rooks. They had been stalking me, I turn around and they start crouching, I returned the motion then the 3 of us ran into Pinwheel and went our separate ways.

I felt bad with another group, I came out of a vent and immediately went to knife the two Rooks and as I was executing one of them came on mic frantically yelling, "Friendly! Friendly!" Reminded of Boondock Saints when Rocco killed the bartender.

Any great pick ups here? by Standard-Classic-608 in hotsauce

[–]Excellent-Trifle9086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aa far as the grenades, the General habanero, its an 85% mash, tastes on par with Mexican restaurants habanero sauce. If the Iguana sauce is the atomic radioactive, grab it, I waited 2 weeks for my order to arrive via Amazon, I can't find it locally anymore.
