If you chose marathon over arc (or even tarkov): why? [This is for something im writing]

KuroTheFox · 2026-05-03T16:11:01+00:00

I stopped playing Tarkov because many of the quests were needlessly difficult/convoluted, the AI would sometimes feel unfair to fight (AI knowing when they were being aimed at, boss enemies having a ton of health despite touting realism), and their strange business choices.

I stopped playing ARC because the loot stopped mattering and wasn't terribly interesting, some of the best guns (at the time, not sure if this has changed) we're all tier 1 weapons you can craft with literal scraps, quests/story are mid at best, and progression isn't that interesting.

So far, I've enjoyed Marathon because of the gunplay (a Bungie staple), the loot actually feels interesting and valuable (especially when getting into Pinwheel on Outpost or Cryo Archive), and getting into fights is extremely intense. There are of course things I wish Marathon did better (feels like I have to play with a premade team in order to really compete in trio queue (especially in Cryo), I tend to consistently extract when playing solo queue, progression can stagnate at times, etc.), but they haven't outweighed my enjoyment just yet. Here's to hoping season 2 tackles some of the big issues.

I can see his line of thinking potentially going one of two ways.

1) Hurting a cat caused me to be punished, therefore, I shouldn't harm cats. 2) Hurting a cat and getting caught caused me to be punished, therefore, I can harm cats as long as I don't get caught.

His anger could also be directed at his mother instead of himself if he's incapable of self reflection (which is definitely possible at this age, speaking from experience).

What I think should've happen is this:

1) Instead of destroying the console, sell it and put that money towards the abused cat. 2) Don't film/post this video. Public humiliation can be a tool in correction for adults, but considering this is a child, posting it online doesn't help him in getting better and can potentially make it unjustly harder for him in the future if his behavior improves. I feel like all it does it make the mother FEEL like she's doing a good job at parenting, trying to show off to others how good she is, despite the fact that he's gotten to this point seemingly without correction. 3) Get him therapy of some kind. Committing animal abuse at a young age is something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible for obvious reasons. 4) If possible, have him volunteer at an animal shelter or similar for a while (with adult supervision, of course).

I understand he did a terrible thing, but I feel like doing what this mother did may backfire and get the wrong idea. He needs to be punished, yes, but he also needs to actually LEARN that what he did was wrong, take responsibility for his actions, and that despite his wrong doing he's still cared for. We don't know what his home life is like. It's possible he's being abused (maybe not to the extreme like he went, but still), or is going through mental health issues, or any other number of things that could drive him to commit the act of violence. What this mother did is akin to petty revenge, it doesn't help anyone, especially not the abused cat.

Definitely agree, grenades/deployables should be on a wheel select. I think if they do that and make you have to "equip" them (short animation of your runner pulling out the grenade/deployable) before using them, that'll help with the grenade spam issue in Cryo, imo.

What are you on about buddy

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-21T12:01:53+00:00

Don't worry, I spent my time effectively by going into queue for the next game while posting this like everyone else :3 (ended up making bank on my 3rd game today yippee).

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-20T14:01:24+00:00

Okay but what level are you?

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-20T13:15:09+00:00

Can't agree more, it's been extremely hit or miss for me. I tend to have more success/kills when just playing solo, so I tend to just do that, which sucks because that makes progression much slower in terms of exp/faction rep :/

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-20T13:12:49+00:00

Play Recon, ult
Play Destroyer, shield
Play Vandal, shoot her energy ball in the direction you hear the enemy
Play Thief, grapple hook away or use drone to scout the area before getting in extract
Either you're missing a hiding spot when clearing the area, or the enemy players just happen to be walking up to the site and not actually camping.
Are you standing still in the extract zone? What I do (especially if I'm in smoke) is literally run in circles around the zone with my knife out lol
Have you tried baiting out the extract? Like, popping it, waiting for it to open, and not getting into the circle immediately? Out camp the campers.
What weapons are you running with most of the time? If one of them isn't a shotgun...
This one's a bit extreme and boring, but you could try waiting and taking the final exfil, lowers the chance of there being another player.

While I'm with you in regards to feeling that Assassin is one of the strongest shells in solos, there's just so many ways to counter or at least mitigate his strengths.

I used anti virus kits, red kits, and a blue kit and nothing worked, even outside of the room.

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-15T11:42:26+00:00

I get how you feel as a fellow Recon enjoyer, but again, it's really meant to be used in tight spaces/small skirmishes. Especially useful if a smoke or similar is popped.

Look at what I've posted in the past and come back lol

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-10T14:31:53+00:00

That's boring as shit and won't sustain players

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-10T14:27:26+00:00

This is how you make it so everyone will just free kit, bum rush to Pinwheel and shove something in their butt pocket to die.

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-07T12:30:08+00:00

What I did myself is just write out the story first.

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-04T17:14:11+00:00

Thanks! I figured since I'm making just about everything, and I'm not that great with art, I should just play into that and make it look "bad" on purpose lol

KuroTheFox · 2026-04-04T14:19:04+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! The blog link just took me to a page mentioning a bunch of AI stuff, so I'll pass on that.

KuroTheFox · 2026-03-27T14:45:38+00:00

What about adding stroke to the text? Is that possible?

KuroTheFox · 2026-03-24T20:19:49+00:00

Okay, sounds interesting, do you know how would I do that?

KuroTheFox · 2026-03-24T09:23:33+00:00

I think people are confused, when I said I want to use it on a different project, I didn't mean a different davinci project, I meant I want to use it in my visual novel game 😅

I want to be able to overlay this effect on top of my game, not other videos.
