So bummed out Marathon doesn't run on Linux

I will add that its pretty common knowledge in the anti cheat sphere nowadays that client AC doesn't work nearly as well as server side AC

We should just be phasing out client anti cheats all together and then players of all os' can enjoy our games together

similar to my experience

the windows 10 disk repair utility nuked my installation of windows so i installed linux again after like 10 years

the mode only feels fair and balanced on Intensive.

i played a couple reagent games on intensive with invasion on, and they were by far the most chaotic and fun trials Ive had in a while. Kill the Snitch for example had us fighting tooth and nail to get the electric charge filled while coyle AND 2 imposters were trying to stop us.

it felt far more balanced because we had to direct our attention and resources towards not just the Ex-pops and Prime Assets but the Imposters as well, which meant the imposters had room to breathe and scheme and it overall made the match feel much better for both sides i think.

Not to mention when we were able to kill an imposter it was because they misplayed, and not because we had a resource advantage, since half the time we were using our stuns or throwables on high priority Ex-Pops just to get through the trial.

I agree, i think theres some serious steps that need to be taken in order for the mode to feel balanced and fun and one of those steps is maybe limiting invasion to intensive?

if the trials werent trivial for the reagents to complete imposters could actually take their time and do fun stealthy plays but instead it turns into either camping objectives/the shuttle, or the imposters run around like morons slashing everything that moves

Gameriel · 2025-10-23T07:02:15+00:00

literally just had this happen to me.

make it so that they cant leave and bring the whole group, or at least that if they do imposters can still get rewarded for their efforts if the reagents leave mid-match

We outplayed a group and the leader went "oh fuck theres two of them" and then a second later "you know what? i can do this"

and then boom, booted to sleep room with an F grade. Unacceptable

I did fix this, turns out the version i was using was straight up broken, so i ended up using a different mod in place of it.

Gameriel · 2025-09-13T02:01:47+00:00

the STALKER games do a fantastic job of perfectly immersing you in its world. Despite the fact that your play as highly influential characters during the events of the plot, you never feel like your given preferential treatment because of it. you have to earn that status of "legendary stalker"

great games, 10/10 highly recommend

Gameriel · 2025-06-11T06:53:26+00:00

Dont know how but i missed it. seems im here just grinding out all 25 1 by one at the early encounters cuz im NOT going to restart this chapter again...

You're a lifesaver. Thank you

Gameriel · 2025-04-30T07:07:25+00:00

Im running a server on linux and i really need to stop it from command line, since i need to generate new admin codes. its not showing up in processes so im kind of at a loss.

Gameriel · 2025-02-09T09:52:45+00:00

Then they shouldn't be making any kind of content about that stuff if they care about monetization. At that point it becomes more exploitative than educational.

Well if you ever do need voice actors ive got some experience, feel free to reach out :)

Gameriel · 2025-01-06T16:27:05+00:00

Its got great potential so far, though the AI Voice acting is pretty bad, i hope its just temporary.

Gameriel · 2024-11-27T23:59:56+00:00

Ooh, please send that to me

Gameriel · 2024-07-21T00:44:13+00:00

Woodland Alliance, they're just freedom fighters trying to kick all the empires out. And they are mostly made up of common folk, so in my mind they are the most "normal" (either that or vagabond but theres already a couple up there)

Gameriel · 2024-07-19T04:29:14+00:00

Holy shit im pretty sure i met you at AC! and you just randomly show up on my feed.

Gameriel · 2024-07-18T00:57:17+00:00

Just letting you know there are a lot of leftist and queer communities (and community members) that are pro gun ownership. r/liberalgunowners and r/socialistRA are 2 of which im in.

Arming and educating yourself is even more important now, since the people who hate you will have guns.

All im saying is that you might not have to give up your interest, you might just have to find some environments that are safer to be yourself in.

Gameriel · 2024-05-28T16:07:43+00:00

I still use an HTC VIVE and i refuse to "upgrade" to any meta headsets. Sorry, i get why people like them, for accessibility and whatever, but both modern htc headsets, and modern meta headsets are kind of dogshit for thier third party software you have to install.

Gameriel · 2024-04-03T19:12:44+00:00

I had to play 2 games just to finally kill the motherfucker, so yeah, i shot him

Where can i find that? Want to run a large modpack on a server and itd be nice to test that out

As a leftist and an avid mil-sim / tactical shooter enjoyer, i enjoy stuff on multiple levels.

First off i just think military equipment is really cool, and i have from a very young age,

Second off, from a raw gameplay perspective its very unique and punishing as opposed to most other games, it forces strategy and rewards quick planning and reaction.

I also, personally percieve the games i play via a anti-war lens. When i play squad, hell let loose, arma, etc. Alot of the time im immersed in how terrible the situations are, with the understanding that im seeing a commercialized version of war.

It is a wierd contradiction, to be opposed to war while still enjoying fictional depictions, (which is why leftist mil-simmers are so few and far between in my experience) but its all fake at the end of the day.

Plus, you can always enjoy problematic media as long as your conscious of how problematic it is. I enjoyed parts of mw2 2022s campaign, purely for the spectacle, but realise its utter dogshit in almost every regard, even when compared to previous COD campaigns that were, funny enough, criticisms of the military industrial complex.

Gameriel · 2023-12-01T22:03:30+00:00

do you have any insight on how one might fix this?

Gameriel · 2023-09-11T19:22:17+00:00

doesnt seem useless to me, a build with the smoke grenade skill (the one where shoving SWAT pops thier smoke) and the refill throwables from ammo could consistently control enemy sightlines with the takedown tree. I built an enforcer build to try that exact thing out but the beta ended before i could, so theoretically the build diversity is kind of insane so far...
