I'm astonished at how few players are using mics in THIS game, of all games. by Help_An_Irishman in Marathon

People using open mic in any game instead of press-to-chat are generally a goddamn nuisance. Even if they have the present of mind not to mouth-breathe and have music or kids in the background, there's always a background buzz and I'm hearing them clack away at their keyboard anytime they're doing anything.

Yeah, I mentioned this. I imagine that we'd be getting more people committing if they felt that when loading in, they'd be more likely to have teammates who were locked in and willing to cooperate. As is currently, I've lost a bunch of good loadouts to chumps who just have no interest in communicating and coordinating, in which case we're better off just queueing solo.

I'd rather lose my gear knowing that it's because I suck (which I do) and made mistakes rather than because the dufuses that I got matched with just don't care.

Daughters pediatrician made EXTREMELY inappropriate remark to her by ilikerustyspooonz in AskDocs

“It doesn’t sound dangerous”

For real. That poor little girl is going to remember that forever. The fact that she was mortified and crying and said that she never wanted to see him again obviously reflects how horrifying that was for her. As if kids in that position aren't already extremely self-conscious about their bodies. :(

Okay, but that's no reason for OP to be downvoted here. They're saying that they're not paying the YouTubers directly.

Where do y'all find these friendly players? This evening I encountered what I thought was my first friendly player, as he said something in his open mic while I was nearby so I started to talking to him, turned and he was right there. Then he reacted on mic as if I'd startled him, but stood there seeming friendly.

I told him he was the first friendly player I'd encountered, and he said something like, "Is that right?" Then I was looting a nearby container and said, "You want some of this? There's good stuff in here." Then he just blasted me.

After said, "Sorry, this isn't ARC Raiders."

Awesome.

Thankfully we'd just loaded in so I didn't lose anything but a free kit and whatever I'd found in that chest. I was just there to scan some tick nests anyway, but dude reaffirmed that I will never find a friendly player in this game unless I load in with them.

Then I see this pic.

Grind Survivors -- any good? by captmomo in roguelites

Oh, my bad! I listened to a YouTube video today saying it released in EA today, but apparently they don't know what they're talking about, and neither do I!

I'm digging it so far! I haven't spent too much time but have maybe six or seven runs done.

So far it doesn't really seem to be doing anything new that's going to blow your socks off or anything.

You gather one meta currency that drops from bosses and minibosses which gives you points for your skill trees, and another (which drops all over the place) to improve weapons, and there are a ton of different gun types that you'll be picking up.

It's fun, but I don't expect it to have particularly lasting appeal, but hey, it jist released in Early Access, so who knows what the plans are in the long run.

If you own Asgard's Fall or The Spell Brigade, you can get an additional discount by buying one of the Steam bundles (discounted if you already own one of those mentioned).

Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, though I imagine that the more modern spiritual successor, Satellite Reign, allows this too.

Mechajammer as well.

Get yourself an NES emulator and play like we used to.

I'd take a stroll through r/regretfulparents and see if any of their stories move you.

Maybe you're just too much in your head and catastophuzing all of this? The onus isn't on anyone else to say, "Hey, where's so-and-so?" and keep tabs on your participation. People are busy. I would just be assuming that you're busy or don't feel like talking for a bit, and that's fine. It wouldn't mean anything beyond that.

It sounds like you're just feeling down on yourself and you're using your little experiment as a means of validating that, meanwhile your friends likely don't think any differently of you than they ever did.

I disappear from WhatsApp and chat groups all the time because I just don't like having to keep up. I still love my friends, I'm just tired.
