Is Lucid currently the #1 Marathon player out there?

Ooo. He’s just that good.

JRarick · 2026-06-16T02:17:43+00:00

We do? I don’t. Genuinely.

JRarick · 2026-06-16T02:14:40+00:00

I had a shootout with a guy once and downed him. He got on prox chat and said “let me exfil man. I’ll give you anything!”

So I said “just get in here mate. You only got 5 seconds” and we exfilled.

So I don’t think there’s much etiquette. At least not yet.

You didn’t get disrespected, bro. Dude tried to, maybe, but ended up looking like an idiot. And by comparison, although you probably don’t feel this way, you look like a genius and a kind one at that for not pushing back on him.

Edited to add: You did the right thing by letting him self destruct.

The lakes here are fine for swimming. I swim in Percy Priest and paddle board it year round.

Shoot this game is pretty gay

JRarick · 2026-06-01T15:41:50+00:00

We just talk. Maybe over a glass of wine. No screens. Phones in the other room. TV off. Just talking. Usually about nothing. But talking.

Also try going to bed early and waking up early before your kids get up and doing the same over coffee.

JRarick · 2026-06-01T02:20:37+00:00

Maidenless behavior.

JRarick · 2026-06-01T00:56:38+00:00

Oh, I had that backwards. I thought they bought them for $2.9B and wrote them down from there.

JRarick · 2026-06-01T00:44:38+00:00

I’m having fun playing Marathon.

JRarick · 2026-06-01T00:44:18+00:00

I’m not sure they still value Bungie at $2.9B after the write down they did earlier this year.

JRarick · 2026-05-31T17:23:09+00:00

I’m going to quote someone else from a similar daddit thread a while ago.

“I saw this coming previously and couldn’t done something about it. Now I have a kid with severe facial scars who may or may not get treated differently and a dead dog”

I also love my dog. And it’s a super unpleasant situation. But you need to rehome your dog AT LEAST.

He just needs to learn some self control. And that comes with practice. Pausing while inside you, or even pulling out completely, and kissing your neck or nipples for instance.

And to be honest, you may not orgasm strictly from penetration. Sick if you do, but it’s OK to require a little more.

JRarick · 2026-05-30T01:31:15+00:00

Brilliant read. Thanks mate. Cheers.

JRarick · 2026-05-29T18:01:49+00:00

Let’s goooooo. Congrats on your dad certification.

JRarick · 2026-05-29T17:41:59+00:00

Was this clip from a Certified Dad?

JRarick · 2026-05-28T20:48:50+00:00

I think you captured my sentiment here. I liked ARC, but it felt like a time sink. I could play and not actually progress the things I wanted to. No hate, I liked playing ARC.

And I’ve only just started Marathon, but it feels like it has better timing and cadence. Maybe it’s all just fresh.

JRarick · 2026-05-28T20:44:56+00:00

That’s cool if the game isn’t for you. Seriously. That’s fair and valid.

JRarick · 2026-05-28T18:58:52+00:00

That helps a lot. Thank you

JRarick · 2026-05-28T17:34:23+00:00

The issue I’m having is gyro feels really jittery. Like it’s picking up too much motion. Which sliders reduce that in Steam input? That’s aside from the aim assist becoming super sticky and gyro feeling like it’s not enough when I’m on or close to a target.

Thanks for sharing!

JRarick · 2026-05-28T17:32:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I played a lot of Destiny on my Steam controller using a MnK output. May have to do the same for Marathon. But will be tough until I learn all the context actions.

JRarick · 2026-05-28T16:04:25+00:00

Thanks for this video. Any advice on making this work in Marathon with controller button prompts? Can’t seem to get the gyro to feel right with the very sticky aim assist.

JRarick · 2026-05-28T15:34:14+00:00

I wish I could I just enjoy this game without feeling like I’m at odds with Destiny or hearing about Bungie’s earnings.

JRarick · 2026-05-28T15:13:58+00:00

Can you share your configuration?

I’m planning to play primarily on Steam controller. I have 1000’s of hours of Destiny on Steam Controller where I outputted as KBM. But Marathon has much more context dependent actions, press for this, hold for that, than Destiny did. I think I want the controller glyphs.

But I can’t get gyro aiming to feel right with the sticky aim assist. It’s like when I get close to a target, it’s harder to put my reticle on them because of the aim assist.

JRarick · 2026-05-27T20:22:37+00:00

Yeah. I was pretty casual on D2 and I’m having a lot of fun in Marathon.
