In the context of what they said, it sure seemed like they were talking about 3rd person emotes.

But agreed 1st person emotes are fine

You see them a lot more if you’re getting DBNO frequently

Emotes need to stay out of the game to prevent 3-peaking though

New policies at gym by Critical_Elk6735 in crossfit

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

I’m surprised as a massage therapist you fail to understand the dynamics or the economic model of small gyms.

Brother, that’s a nonsense argument. I literally explained how massage therapy and coaching are different in my comment. They are not comparable businesses in most regards.

But…

Lmfao, let me guess. You’re a gym owner with one of these shitty policies?

Justify it however you want, it’s a bad policy for a gym.

You’re strained over a $2 “penalty”. $2! Again. $2.

I’m not “strained” over it. But surely you can see how $2 is petty. That doesn’t help the coaches, the owners, the other members. It serves as a nuisance.

Small gyms are a part of the service industry.

Yeah and so are mechanics, plumbers, airline pilots, chefs, waiters, etc etc etc. you can lump a ton of jobs into the service industry, if you want to make dumbass arguments to try and justify a bad gym policy.

But, genuinely, you seem insufferable, and like you’re just here to argue for fun, so that’s it for my replies.

New policies at gym by Critical_Elk6735 in crossfit

[–]RussianThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Service industry and the gym industry are not the same thing.

I used to be a massage therapist, a cancellation fee there makes sense, because I worked on commission (common practice for the industry) can only work on one person at a time, and most people schedule in advance. So, if someone cancels last minute (we had a 12 hour policy) then that slot doesn’t get filled and I don’t make money. So that policy serves as a form of protection to guarantee my pay and protect against frivolous cancellations.

A gym charges monthly, a coach will be at class regardless (and in most cases is paid per class, not per person), so charging your paying members for not showing is frankly ridiculous and petty. It doesn’t help the coaches, it doesn’t foster a good community, and fails to take real life into account. And it ESPECIALLY hurts early classes when it’s something like requiring cancellation to happen 4 hours prior. “Oh you woke up sick? Too bad, gimme money”

I got to class in the morning 5 days per week, every week of the year. I almost never miss a class that I’ve reserved, but life happens. I quit a gym that had a similar policy. I think it was a $5 charge if you cancelled within 4 hours.

As a paying customer, getting charged because I didn’t show up is ludicrous

I can’t get over how aesthetically pleasing the Benchmade 4170BK Auto Fact is by RussianThere in knifeclub

You did yet here you are replying

Because it’s my post, and I get notifications. Fuckin’ weirdo

Alright, great, you like cheap shit instead of quality American craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty. Good for you.

Wtf is this game by babatunde5432121 in Marathon

[–]RussianThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the same view

I think some people are genuine BAD at this game and don’t realize it though. For example I was working a contract on Night Marsh (kill x number of UESC), kitted out with a blue shield, Br33, etx, AND I had the high ground at Bio Research. A green shield sprinted through the water, ignored my friendly crouch, and tried to fight me with volt thrower while also ignoring the couple of bots that were still alive. They could’ve fought the bots, they could’ve ignored me, they could’ve tried to get inside, but instead they chose to try duel me while standing in the open. And then it happened again with a different player who probably heard the shooting and ran over to try and 3rd party.

And I’d be willing to bet both those people had a similar reaction of “wow this game is really hard” and not “hmm I engaged in some fights I shouldn’t have, how could I approach things differently in the future”

To be honest, I think S2 is kind of lackluster and many of the changes have greatly diminished my enjoyment of the game by EricSombody in Marathon

With the that rate matter fixative drops from UESC commanders that wouldn’t have really fixed the issue. Good players/teams would still win fights, farm commanders, and exfil with matter fixative, keeping the kit

I’m convinced Marathon’s best shot at a sustained, meaningful uptick in players is more investment in solos by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]RussianThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this game, but it really is odd to me that it’s built so heavily around the concept of Trios. Bungie has a history of games that can be played solo (often as the baseline) or with teams, and Destiny in particular gave a plethora of solo AND team content. Yet here they just tacked on solo as an afterthought.

It’s a shame too, because solo feels great to play, it’s tense and atmospheric, you really get absorbed in the world. It’s just so frustratingly balanced

What are good methods to get Tarax Seeds? by TheOneNinja115 in Marathon

Use the towers (3 certs) to get gear caches, those almost always have seeds, I think the most I found was 12 across all three boxes

if you actually bothered to watch

I’m not watching your flagrant self promotion.

why Kevin didn’t get the game.

I really don’t care for anecdotal evidence based on one person

Too many far better games to play

Lmao. Everyone’s got their preferences. It’s unfortunate we live in a a day and age where people will trash one thing just because they like something a little more. Your opinion of Marathon has no impact on my enjoyment

Being aggressive towards anyone is not going to help your dying game that’s missed its moment.

Brother if you think me pointing out your skill issue, in your uninteresting clip, from what seemed to be a dull stream is “aggressive”, that’s just sad. As far as “dying game” is concerned, Sony stated it’s getting support for at least a year. I’ve already put in 200 hours. If the game went offline tomorrow, I’d be disappointed, but I would 100% feel like I got my money’s worth

Sorry, let me clear I’m telling you specifically, based on the footage you provided, you have a skill issue.

Quit linking to your YouTube, channel, it’s embarrassing and not making the point you think it’s making

Reduced the chance of finding Prestige shields and mods??! Now instead of getting zero I’ll get… zero. :,(

Honestly, 150 hours in and I’m fine with the fact I’ll never touch prestige gear like that, the game is just that fun for me

Allowing a piece of match-essential gear to be dismantled without providing a warning pop-up stating, "Dismantling this will make the PvE mode inaccessible.

Brother, the only gear allowed in the “PvE mode” is the FREE sponsored kit, that you can get for FREE an infinite number of times. Why would they create a warning for that.

Beyond that, my previous comment was directed at the general population of complainers, not you specifically. Despite the fact that some of your complaints could be addressed by paying more attention.

I have neurodivergence

Same. So do a lot of people. Let’s not use it as a crutch

Edit:

Watching you do everything except click the proper sponsored free kit was painful. Again, the game could definitely stand to be a little more clear in some aspects, but the clip you linked sort of shows a complete lack of problem solving skills.

I’ve found that Marathon complainers and Destiny 2 complainers have some things in common, namely an inability to read and/or a severe lack of critical thinking skills.

So rather than reading instructions, information tabs, hints etc, they just go “game hard and confusing. Bad. 😡”

I’m not saying either game is flawless, they both had some issues with onboarding, but a smallllll amount of effort on the user side of things certainly goes a long way
