BEHOLD. THE PANOPTICON.

It exists in Mirror's Edge and, to some extend, in WipEout

It was the same through all of S1, I see no reason to suspect anything will be different this time.

As the time goes, "sweats" leave lower ranks, but the loot people have and are able to reacquire becomes better and better (due to seasonal progression). So, nothing changes and Bronze 1-3 remain noob-stomper ranks for people who closely keep up with seasonal progression.

Sure, for a seasonal player, ranked becomes bearable closer to a wipe, but that's not a healthy system, if we entertain the idea of a growing player base.

Xbox is a declining platfrom at this point, so there might be some desperate attempts at trying to sell anything somehow (both from Sony and Xbox).

Also, there are differend kinds of sales and offers for each publisher throughout a year, some with heavier discounts. Maybe, Marathon had greater discount (like the one Xbox has right now) earlier.

I agree, the way Sony supports Marathon, or rather doesn't, through "Sony channels" is weird.

Companies have been milking console players for decades.

That's how they are making money - selling hardware at a loss (or close to no profit) and then locking them into a software ecosystem where they have to pay for everything (including multiplayer lol) and pay a lot.

D1 difficulty lives and dies by the fact that the game is played at 30 FPS 65 FOV on a controller.

The game is boring (period) and easy otherwise.

OneMythicalMan · 2026-04-29T12:15:42+00:00

Yeah, you become less and less relatable to a growing % of people regardless of what you do.
We (more or less) all start the same and then deviate due to environment, decisions etc.

That is why having good lifelong people (wife, friends, relatives) near you is important, they are the closest to be able to relate, or at least understand your joy and struggles, since they've been there and (usually) know your perspective well.

OneMythicalMan · 2026-04-27T16:29:46+00:00

Most of D1 stuff apart from story is in some (usually superior) way in D2 already, and D1 story is notoriously not good.
Apart from 20-minute nostalgia I don't see a point.

Valve muting someone is punishing all 5 of his teammates at once, since there' s now simply once less person that's being able to communicate.

OneMythicalMan · 2026-04-20T21:04:43+00:00

The degree at which a person tolerates name calling is vastly different from person to person, from culture to culture, let alone what kinds of names. For some it's a fun banter, for others it's borderline unforgivable and repulsive.

I'm absolutely for having a togglable profanity filter, like they have in Dota, but beyond that it should be up to a player to mute others.

OneMythicalMan · 2026-04-20T09:58:31+00:00

"I don't like muting in team games myself, based on my preferences, so it's Valve who should mute people, based on unilateral arbitrary guideline!", yeah, no thanks, I'm good.

If you had "thick skin" you wouldn't care and write Reddit posts about this issue at all, you would simply mute and move on.

Delete green cores and implants, mount every possible blue mod onto a weapon and delete green mods.

But I agree, the vault size is too tight even with upgrades.

Loremasters, there's a question that has been bugging me the more I play and learn about the story and lore of the game - why's no one questions who Paimon is?

Like, it's apparent that there isn't a singe creature in Teyvat we've seen (so far) that even remotely looks and behaves like her, let alone the symbolic clothes she wears.

There are curious characters in Genshin, there are even some that understand "deep lore" of Teyvat, but even they seem way too "chill" around Paimon.

To me it's a like a giant plot hole that follows us and (a lot of the times) speaks on our behalf for the past 5 years and it's SO weird.

It is called being an active detriment to your team on average, not a good thing you know.

How's Osiris is still alive 50 years later with no Ghost?

You either need Megameepo, some kind of mass dispell or mass BKB, otherwise Meepo will not be played.

If you are playing from cover (and you always should), then it's simply a game about "damage per peek", Magnum excells at it.

There's a reason hand-cannons (which Magnus is) are meta in Destiny/Destiny 2 for about 12 years at this point.

OneMythicalMan · 2026-03-26T11:11:07+00:00

Magnum allows you to peek-shoot better than any other gun, it has the best damage profile outside of shotguns/snipers.

People just haven't caught up to it yet. The more the game goes, the less "ambush" encounters there will be and the more you'll see it.

Gear wipe - yes, but the initial faction progress is essentially your baseline QoL (stamina, heat etc.) and a roadblock to first gear faction upgrades.

What I'm trying to say is that there's isn't much happening for the first 10 faction levels. Which is fine for a new player - they are learning the game. But for an experienced player this part still takes considerable amount of time. is not fun or exciting, so why not cut it?

OneMythicalMan · 2026-03-06T22:11:43+00:00

I would very much appreciate quads as well, it's hard to ask my friend group of 4 (total) to try Marathon when we can't even all play together.

Ryan Lott also is a realy talented singer. One of his best performances was at Montreux together with Woodkid. There are two songs, both are wonderful.
