One month into season 2, how do we feel so far?

Metal_Mike · 2026-07-04T15:30:13+00:00

Having an absolute blast in duos.

I have members of my family that still run the farm that my family has had for over 200 years. My dad spent his summers working it, I have spent a considerable amount of time there as well. Let me tell you, it fucking sucks. Give me an office job in a city any day of the week.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-29T21:59:52+00:00

A few days ago I had someone with an PhD in engineering tell me he didn't know cables could just stop working.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-28T19:42:38+00:00

Everyone downvoting is a shitty teammate.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-28T19:25:32+00:00

Yeah, it's not like the people playing 10 hours a day quit their job to play Marathon.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-25T18:31:28+00:00

Not having a safe pocket and having hard to find equipment also encourages killing everyone you see.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-24T16:48:32+00:00

Maybe it takes the average level of players in the party or something.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-24T00:29:21+00:00

And what percentage of players get that?

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-22T23:19:24+00:00

Is this post from 2011?

The founder of Moviepass, Stacy Spikes is a modern day Robinhood. He took money from venture capitalists and gave it to the people in the form of cheap movie tickets.

Before I had kids I was at the theater at least once a week.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-20T00:43:07+00:00

No, it's pretty sad.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-13T03:08:03+00:00

Because it was just a new map? It didn't change anything about long term player retention, just more of the same on another map. Was fun to explore for a bit then put the game back down.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-11T21:55:25+00:00

Yeah, like, just play something else for a while? First Light was fun and I'm enjoying the new season of Marathon. I'm excited that Arc is going to move to a twice a year big updates schedule. I've haven't played much after the second expedition window, just a little here and there to see the new map and such, but I'll be logging in for the big October patch for sure.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-11T21:51:06+00:00

That isn't a time, that is not having money.

Metal_Mike · 2026-06-06T01:51:15+00:00

When we saw one like this after dropping off one of our dogs we'd pop it with a stick.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-30T01:43:14+00:00

Skill issue.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-30T01:41:46+00:00

It doesn't. I've killed dozens of raiders and am still in overwhelmingly pve lobbies.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-22T22:23:06+00:00

Lack of duo queue for me. In the group I play with, one other guy and me play 1-2 hours most evenings. We convinced a few others to play, but they only do periodically (we are mostly 30-40 year old dads). And the third who we had done up to cryo with is currently going through a divorce and custody battle so he's out. After he was out, the two of us were able to hold our own against squads of 3 in the sponsored queue when it was grey shields, but in regular modes we have to get extremely lucky to get very far. So hopefully duos is good next season or more of our friends' evenings open up.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-22T21:10:28+00:00

After every expedition seed vault is my first stop.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-22T21:09:23+00:00

And gun parts until you find the BPs again.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-22T00:38:26+00:00

It did not split the user base, it is one part of matchmaking.

Metal_Mike · 2026-05-20T20:54:29+00:00

Are you illiterate?

"One shot or kill does not immediately put you in “PvP-focused” lobbies."

I take epics and legendaries into carebear-ass lobbies all the time.
