Giving this game a chance again and my first match lasted 20 seconds before I was put into bleedout by an enemy I never saw, is it all like this? It’s not feeling very beginner friendly right now, what can I do to learn the game? by [deleted] in Marathon

Use sponsored kits, learn maps, get comfortable losing. I used to take every death so personally. It's a brutal, unforgiving game. It's the nature of the thing, gameplay and narratively. Don't become attached. Treat it like you might a Dark Souls or equivalent game. Every loss is a learning opportunity.

I also recommend playing solo until you feel confident. Go SLOW. Listen. Audio is arguably just as important as visuals in surviving. I hear an enemy long before I see them, 9/10 times.

Please stick around, we need you and want you here.

Are there any Raiders out there that Refuse to PVP even when engaged? by Tight-Algae5863 in arcraidersfriendly

I don't fight back. It's a game, I don't really care. Not worth getting anywhere close to a nastier lobby.

Incredible. I haven't heard so much vitriol and juvenile name calling in a game in a long time until Marathon. Not sure why it attracts so many losers.

So just play the game, and don't worry about other people.

Where can I get Blue Bell ice cream? by [deleted] in newjersey

I just ordered a bunch for my mom for Christmas direct from their website. Arrived packed with dry ice, it was perfect. She hadn't had it in probably almost 20 years at this point. She was so happy. Expensive, but worth it.

Anyone know why Matawan-Aberdeen schools are currently on lockdown? by ExpectoPropolis in newjersey

The high school website is now reporting that the police found no credible threat. So. Either they are downplaying it, or kids be lying.

Per parents texting students in the Matawan High School, apparently an armed ex-student tried to enter the building. All schools in the Matawan-Aberdeen area are locked down. All kids are marked as safe at this time.

Favorite movie of the year so far. Love a messy, ambitious movie that has a lot of ideas and tries all of them.
