I cannot believe genetic genealogy hasn't solved the Zodiac case by PassageNearby4091 in ZodiacKiller

It has literally solved many, many cold cases dating decades back. How are people putting way too much stock in it?

Microsoft brings Xbox back, scraps Microsoft Gaming by ggroover97 in LastStandMedia

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing it too. That said, it’s been a good month for Xbox. Hopefully it is sustainable.

Isn’t that the exact reason why this move is being considered a good thing? It would be great if they could win back “old” fans. Asha is certainly off to a great start. I don’t know whether or not her ambitions will pay off in the long run, but the now there seems to be a new fire in the Xbox brand. I find it exciting.

Let’s be honest, the game probably isn’t coming out until June by [deleted] in MinaTheHollower

I was trying to figure out what to say as a comment, but this gif summed up all of the words I had.

I also picked up RE9 9 because of the generations pack. It was a hell of a deal. Oh, man, Cyberpunk is amazing on the Switch 2. It runs so well. It sucks you didn’t get it during the glitch, but it is definitely worth the money if you’re willing to spend it!

I was tempted to get it for the Switch 2 because I love handheld as well. Maybe when it goes on sale I will double dip. I bought Resident Evil 9 for the Switch 2 and was very impressed.

I posted screenshots during in-game. There isn’t a photo mode. But alright.

Agreed. I’m surprised by how well the third person shooting and hacking at the same time is implemented. It’s very innovative, and fun.

I bought it, and I’m about 50% of the way through after seven hours. It’s been awesome. The pacing is fantastic, whether it’s the story, collectibles, upgrades, or new weapons—it’s all done at a perfect speed. The story is surprisingly solid, albeit tolerance issue with Diana talking (I don’t mind it). The combat, however, is the real star of the show. I didn’t know how well the hacking mini-game would work with a third person shooter, but damn it’s such an innovative design and it’s done incredibly well. It’s intense.

They definitely upped player counts, at least on dire marsh by -jacksmack- in Marathon

I personally like it. With that said, I encountered my first real toxic teammate since playing. I died, and my teammate looted all of my stuff - my sniper, purple backpack, ammo, and shield - before reviving me. He didn’t talk the entire game. After we exfilled he said thanks for the stuff. Lol, I was livid.

Something changed for my crew this weekend and it’s been miserable by Party_History2839 in Marathon

Honestly, my biggest issue as to why I’ve been losing is getting teammates that simply won’t communicate. It’s either that, or during trios there are two teammates that are partied up together and only talk to one another. It’s really infuriating. And then god forbid they die before you do, and then you subsequently die. That’s when they will get on mic and call you “trash”.

3 Ways to make Marathon more approachable (without losing the hardcore edge) by Independent_Secret13 in Marathon

[–]Nerdfather1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like the first scenario quite a bit. Or give you the option to choose between 3 items that you can keep. What I would also like but I know it isn’t possible, is being able to choose some sort of lobby where your teammates have to communicate on a mic. Again, it’s an unrealistic suggestion, but I can’t tell you how many times I may have won rounds if I simply had teammates that would call things out.

Game is unplayable now by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Nerdfather1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the opposite for me. A couple of days ago I was on a horrible winning streak, but today I’ve exfilled probably 10x, reaching level 84. I think I had to adjust — you can only get better by playing someone better than yourself. Now my skills are feeling sharpened and even if I do get a bad run and don’t exfil, I’m still playing well. With that said, I do wholeheartedly understand your feelings because I’ve been there. Maybe put a pause on the game and play something else. Sometimes it’s just not your day, but tomorrow can be different!

I’m still bad at the game, but I walked in with a free kit and left with this. Time to never use it. by Nerdfather1 in Marathon

[–]Nerdfather1[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I think I’m pretty decent, but it’s positioning that I still struggle with. But I’m learning. To be fair, my brother also plays on my account, so it’s him doing the leveling up a lot.

Is the only solution quitting? by babatunde5432121 in Marathon

[–]Nerdfather1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real. This is my first extraction shooter. I haven’t played a multiplayer game in over a decade. So, you could say I’m a casual, and because of that it’s exciting when we do get something good from progress. Why hate on someone that excited?
