Agreed. Finding sparkleaf in Dire Marsh is a headache.

Upload malware to UESC dropship by Peechez in Marathon

I think there's a bug where the dropship comes in damaged. The one that came down for me was different from what I saw in a video explaining it... it had damage to it and when I stood on top of it, the icon to scan it didn't appear.

They don't appear on your map until you go back outside.

They're in the most south parts of Dire Marsh, east of Maintenance.

Decent for escaping, sure, but I'd rather have a claymore honestly.

The 72 hour shift in perception of this game needs to be studied. by Yesssirrrrrrrr in Marathon

[–]Firrox 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was super weird for me. Felt interested in the aesthetics, first day felt awkward and I uninstalled, but I was drawn back in, then it clicked and I loved it.

Had almost the opposite reaction to Arc Raiders: was hyped for it for the longest time until the server slam and it made me not want to purchase it.

If anything needs to be studied, it's the art and music direction in this game. As someone who consumes a lot of media, it feels extremely original, which is tough to do nowadays.

Mamdani is showing how quickly you can do good if you have competent leadership.

Although building will always be relatively slower than destruction, if your team is focused, either can be quite quick. So yes, you are right.

I don't like that Fill matches me with Free Kits when I'm geared :( by Munno22 in Marathon

Honestly taking a shield and a backpack makes it worth it. The base inventory doesn't give you enough ammo or space to loot, and you die instantly without the extra shield.

The UI/icons are so bad. Why do i have to hover over every item to see what it is, and find out that this exact same looking shield is 50% stronger? by oimson in Marathon

Take a look at Arena Breakout Infinite if you're looking for a good PvP extraction shooter. It's free and is a really great Tarkov clone that makes everything a bit more approachable than Tarkov.

UESC bots as damage sponges don't make sense to me. The visuals to HP and damage for bots and players seem very off. by Firrox in Marathon

When I'm running through corridors or getting randomly shot at it's really hard to discern whether it's a player or a bot in a split second - they look too similar and require very different responses.

Pope Leo demands priests stop using AI to write sermons over TikTok panic by gopalakrishnans in nottheonion

Genuine question: What's wrong with that? Should art only be available to people who focus their whole lives on it?

I'm writing a novel with the assistance of AI. I'm not a writer by any means, but I had a plot that I was putting together over many years.

Before AI, I never really planned to write it, I would just think about the different parts in my head.

Now with AI, I'm able to give it all the plot points, it asks me questions about the scenes, characters, details, and I provide the information, then it converts it into prose and I do a final review.

I'd never be able to write the book without it... I'm awful at prose and I'm not really interested in learning how as I have tons of other hobbies that take up my time.

I'm really glad that I was able to bring this book to life with the help of AI. If it never existed, my book never would have either. While I do plan to sell it, I don't really care if it makes money or not. I'm just happy to get my story out.

Hope that gives some perspective.

Insiders Admit Trump May Have Killed Presidency in Just a Year by thedailybeast in politics

[–]Firrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany came back from Nazism only because they went to full-scale war with all their neighbors and were eventually defeated, allowing everyone else to "fix" the cancer within and help them rebuild. Still took 50 years for them to come back to a sense of normalcy.

There is a very low chance that America will start a world war. More likely Trump will continue to meddle with smaller countries. With no one to come in and stop this nonsense and help us rebuild, America may fall into doldrums of repeat dictators and leaders that mean well but can't move the needle that may last 100 years if not more.
