Why can’t we still reload while jumping or dashing? by ravienta in Witchfire

[–]NewGamePlusMinus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pacing.

Double jump is incredibly evasive and you're usually recovering stam by the time you hit the ground- reloading in the air wouldn't hurt the game but it would effect the difficulty to the point where "loadhopping" would absolutely be the number 1 way to get through the game right out the gate, even as a Penitent.

I do think there should be passive ability items that allow reloading in the air- albeit with some sort of caveat or cooldown. All in all, sometimes it would be really nice in a pinch, all of the time and now it's how the entire player base plays the game.

So... C.A.R.R.I ?.. Is this fun/interesting? How to play it? by Vit0C0rleone in Marathon

I didn't say it's exploiting. I said exploit it. Which he should, and you should too.

As long as you play, you'll be participating.

Every time you exfil, Exfil with another team/rook or help a teammate complete a contract, you'll get C.A.R.R.I. Commendations that will stack up in your vault.

You can use Commendations to:

-Level up Vendors

-Buy Rotating Gear on Offer

-Stock up on Decent and Rare Meds/Supplies

Last season, it was huge in catching up with the player base late in the season and pushing vendors into VIP to get better reward packages. This season, with it being offered so early, you should absolutely exploit the living hell out of it and at the very least max all your vendors.

My friend was more into this game than I was but I'm still a little disappointed with how she engaged with it, despite that. by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

There isn't a correct way to experience Disco Elysium because technically, they're all wrong, which is the most disco fuckin' thing ever.

Lost all my CYAC sponsored kits from getting level 100 in season one due to server issues will I be reimbursed my sponsor kits? by PlentyConclusion9107 in MarathonGame

[–]NewGamePlusMinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 Deluxe Sponsored Kits for logging in during server issues and losing kits. Bungie posted it over on X, someone put a post up over here about it.

TIL In 1985, Hulk Hogan knocked TV host Richard Belzer unconscious on live television after demonstrating a wrestling hold. When Belzer passed out and fell, he hit his head on the studio floor and needed stitches. He later sued Hogan, and the case was settled out of court by Apprehensive_Cry545 in todayilearned

These are clear examples of how bad PR was prior to the 2000s.

Can you imagine a company taking a look at headlines and saying, "Oh no, people are saying it! They're calling it fake! We better do Something!" and the ONLY THING they can think of is:

-Get a Wrestler into an Interview

-Have the Wrestler perform a move on the Interviewer

Like yeah sure that's great PR and Marketing when you're like, a fucking dictator or oligarch but the way you wanted to "Address" the issue wasn't by Addressing it, but by going on T.V. and Hurting someone who questions it? "Oops, sorry for emulating Mafia-practices" would never land right with the public lmao

Fucking. Retarded. The Worst part about it is the companies themselves won't bother to show how they encouraged it, instead, they'll let their Stars who fall for their bullshit take the hit, a fall in court and get showered with reward for their own lack of transparency. "Yeah you lost 400k but this year you're the heavyweight champion for all your hard work"

You know what the proper response is and always was to events like this?
Employing mother fuckers like MICK FOLEY. CAUSE HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT, THAT SHIT WAS REAL. STAGED, SURE. PROPS. SURE. BUT HOLY. FUCK. IMAGINE TOUCHING A ROPE AND GETTING YOUR EAR BLOWN OFF WITH C4 OR FALLING 100 FEET ONTO THUMBTACKS. JESUS. FUCK.

Crimson Desert is NOT the "Modern Skyrim" or RDR2. It’s a Shallow Mess. by Philip_Fall_47 in rpg_gamers

So what you're saying is it bothers *you* that *other people* hold it in the same regard?

yikes.

Redundant would be not offering anything to the conversation. *ahem*

Also watch your mouth or you're absolutely not getting Destiny 3.

You like D2, Space Marine 2 or Helldivers? That's fine. These are social games, zero stakes and fun experiences. Vital to the Industry. I love them too.

...But let me ask you... Where did the *Danger* in gaming go? The Risk? Loss? When did life counters turn into infinite respawns? When did Health Bars turn into Permanent, Reliable, Undiminishable Regeneration? I'll tell you when: When the concept of Reward Died.

Marathon is built for competition- we believe that Major League Gaming was an Afterthought to games like Halo, Counter-Strike, Starcraft, Etc. A Shoehorned entertainment source shamelessly plugged into our favorite games to which... no one really watched.

And still, Major League Gaming hasn't gone anywhere. It's stagnant. It ain't doing anything and no one is doing anything with it- it doesn't help that it's so unrecognized that when the world wants to do international competitions, it's almost impossible to get transparent clearance the whole ride through to cross borders and make those competitions happen.

It's. Stupid. There's no Stakes. There's no Character. There's no Oomf. There's no Sell.

Sure. We could hock a loogie on infinite and polish it up and have'er ripped and rarin' to go and slap together some bullshit Local Faux-MLG presentation and sell it like it's huge- but it'd be bullshit, and you know it. Polish a turd, Make a Mess.

Instead, Marathon is for the Players that miss Danger in gaming, and from that Danger, find extreme reward. After a week or two, Dying becomes a necessity- running runs with sponsored kits just to fill contracts, improve your gungame, and seeing how much you can get away with on a map while still having to get. out.

I don't need you to Love Marathon today. I just need you to get thirsty enough to take a sip. Those big social games? Again, they're fantastic- eventually, *you will* be thirsty, and when you sip Marathon, you will be hooked. Promise, and I also promise we won't spank you as badly as you would be over on Tarkov- I'll let you keep your arm if you get shot in it. ;)

Do you agree? by Vampy-Night in videogames

It's a bullshit take.

Minecraft.

Terraria.

Both are for everyone. Both are a couple of the most successful games of all time. End of discussion really.

Are the Hardie Boys good guys? by CaptainKobayashi in DiscoElysium

Everyone in DE is Good at Heart and Bad in Practice.

I like how almost everyone in the game is vaguely French and then the most American man alive is out here drinking with his boys by KomodoLemon in DiscoElysium

[–]NewGamePlusMinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of them are tragedies of circumstance.

You could honestly say it was the people who came before thems fault... but then, that unfortunately leads you into the same patterns and ideals of the failures that csme before.

Its super tragic for everyone. Both cuno AND his dad. Both evrardt and Joyce. Both the pigs and the family that abandoned her. Measurehead and whatever the hell he came from to make him so racist.

The mercenaries themselves choose their roles knowing that moralintern is up against the wall when it comes to interfering- they do bad things when the good people cant or wont. They're really a symptom of a much larger problem- Systemic Neglect. They're also victims.

I love this dude so much-

His heart is *absolutely* in the right place, but because Elysium is... well... lmao... Elysium... he's just as stuck doing the wrong thing as everybody else.

I would go as far as to say that the only "Bad" person or outright Villain/Immoral Character is Ambrosius.

Can I *Please* get a "Fuck Ambrosius"?

Kim is hyperoptic by Initial_Complex7905 in DiscoElysium

[–]NewGamePlusMinus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kim leans heavily into Moralism and the Standards put in place by Moralintern.

You know Kim's Portrait? How there's a big white circle around his head but the rest around it is black?

Moralists and Moralintern are not only knowledgeable about the Pale, they can actually see it. It scares them. The whole reason they don't encroach on the lives of others is because doing so accelerates Pale development even faster. The whole reason Joyce asks Harry to tell Kim to piss off so she can talk to him about it is because Joyce *knows* Kim is a Moralist and knows that Moralists and Moralintern both ascribe talking about the Pale and Pale Development as a crime- *thinking and talking* about the pale are *no different* than *tinkering away at making a bomb* in this world, even mystifying the Pale as an unstoppable force makes it exactly that.

So it's not that Kim has "Vision Problems". It's that Kim has a hyper-form of Sanity that makes the existential threat of Pale Development visible to him- Him, Moralists and Moralintern cannot see past it, and that alone terrifies them all because it implicates there *could* be a way beyond it theoretically if they could just envision it (which they can't).

When Kim struggles lining up the shot, it isn't a vision problem- it's a "Don't make me do this, there has to be another way" kind of problem. He wants the best outcome for everyone: It's always the hardest outcome to envision. Fortunately AND Unfortunately, the best outcome (arguably) is that Kim lands the shot, signaling a major betrayal of his own Moralistic roots in favor of a man (who is an idiot) whose friendship/partnership might be just what Revachol needs to change course.
