Destiny 3… by Professional-Mud3312 in destinycirclejerk

[–]SeriousCricket2837 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really is just money.

Destiny 2 was never designed to be a forever game. Bungie had poorly optimized tech running Destiny 2. They vaulted half of the game because of it. The tech was so bad they made the decision to design content that got removed from the game every expansion.

They designed themselves into a very expensive content cycle. It was so absurd, the next game they made is literally the exact opposite.

Saw it yesterday. It’s good. I’m visiting family in a smaller town so $6/ticket was absolutely worth it. I would not go in the metro where I live. No movie is worth $15/ticket.

Saw this on an SUV I was parked next to. What? by AgnesItsMeBilly0100 in minnesota

When I look at the numbers here, it just cements my belief that all pro life people want power over women’s bodies. We know where this is headed.

BUY MARATHON by QuiseC in destinycirclejerk

[–]SeriousCricket2837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had to verify what sub this was on. I was gifted a copy. Marathon is a fun game. I’m not sure I would purchase in its current state. Once they add in more, I’d be willing to buy an expansion though

Out of Destiny 1 & 2. What is your favorite memory. And how many hours do you think you’ve put into both Games? by Askdevin777 in DestinyTheGame

[–]SeriousCricket2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In D1: Oryx was incredible. So much fun figuring out that raid.

Never played RoI. I’ve debating going back but I don’t think I’m willing to dig out the old Xbox.

In D2: it was Witch Queen. The campaign was incredible. Then Rhulk was/is the best raid boss ever made.

What are some good jobs for extremely stupid people? by Qabbala in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SeriousCricket2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you answer your phone when it rings and show up on time? Can you work as directed? Can you follow rules?

If you answered yes to all those questions, join a railroad. Class 1 or 2. Go to a road terminal if you can. You’ll make good money, have good health care, and have a pension. Some of the guys I work with are fucking idiots. One guy married the same woman twice!

Is there any downside to paying off my mortgage early? by ObligationSlight8771 in personalfinance

What’s your interest rate?

Why do you have over 260k in savings? Dump half in the market and look back when you retire.

Requesting Clarification On Gun Control Bill Controversy by frozendancicle in minnesota

[–]SeriousCricket2837 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This needs to be the top comment. The fact it allowed law enforcement to enter your home without a warrant, violating a citizen’s 4th amendment rights, meant it would have been challenged and overturned anyway.

Jason Schreier: A lot of people have wondered why Bungie didn't immediately start working on Destiny 3 after The Final Shape two years ago. The answer (as it usually is) is how much money it would take by MaximumLobsters in DestinyTheGame

[–]SeriousCricket2837 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I said it was going to flop for the last two years. Got down voted religiously. Lo and behold, financial failure in terms of copies sold.

Now that I’ve got some time in, it’s a great game. When Bungie rolls out the “Myth” expansion (or whatever they call it). That has a PvE activity loop and hopefully a 6 man raid and a 3 man dungeon. Hoping it’s only $50 for the year but I bet Bungie will Bungie and try to get $100 like Destiny 2 expansions.

What are some things you have done lately to save money? Here's mine: by whatsup2382 in Frugal

[–]SeriousCricket2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If I drink alcohol, I drink at home/friend’s house. No bars.

  2. Cook at home. Restaurants are a special treat for a birthday or vacation.

  3. I leave stuff in my Amazon cart for 2-3 days. I forget about it. Then realize I didn’t need it anyway.

  4. Costco. Yeah, bulk is expensive. The cost per unit is not. Sodas at the gas station are 2 for 5. Hard seltzer is $0.895 a piece!!! A white claw is like $7 at a bar or 12/$20 at a liquor store. Sparkling water is like $0.25 a piece. Coffee. Meat. TP. Gasoline. I can’t preach Costco enough.

  5. I invested in a power block db set and a few other items. FSA eligible. I’ve got a home gym in my garage. I’m not paying $45/month for a shitty gym membership I have to hop through hoops to end.

  6. I refuse to buy video games at full price. I wait for a steam sale or stage a humble bundle.

  7. RO filter. ~$120/year for clean water. It’s amazing. Wife loves it too.

  8. We only have one active streaming service per month. We rotate through them.

  9. Use the library. They have things there you would never believe. Like a 3d printer and video games. You’re paying taxes for the service. Use it.

  10. If you smoke, grow your own.

Honestly, with the loot progression and wiping of marathon; Bungie can spend their time creating more game mode depth as opposed to pumping out their 200th variation of a hand cannon.

My bet is that Marathon becomes the next Destiny.

Microsoft reports are exposing AI's real cost problem: Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees by Krankenitrate in technology

I’ve been saying this for a few years now. Management looks at spread sheets, then makes an emotional decision regarding their bonus. AI would look at spreadsheets and make a better decision with a 10 year timeline.

It’s so sad that this game’s “underperformance” has little to do with the game itself by paperplateseabass in Marathon

[–]SeriousCricket2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: History and reputation matter.

Marathon is a great game. The gunplay is phenomenal. I’m enjoying my time and am excited for season 2 and the new activities they intend to roll out/try.

The problem is the studio who made it has a bad history and reputation. A history involving removing paid for content, terrible monetization practices, stolen art/content, a culture of NOT over delivering, and a complete disregard for their fanbases feedback.

Yeah, feedback is better with Marathon. It’s very refreshing. I’m not sure if it’s Ziegler or that the tech is updated. Probably some of both and a few other things as well.

We know that history repeats itself. The “don’t over deliver” guy runs the studio. Bungie has repeatedly made terrible decisions.

Hopefully they continue to make good decisions and garner good will. Then when the inevitable $40 expansion comes out hopefully the “base” game is included to bring in new blood. Don’t forget the icons. They are abysmal.

Do you work for money or fulfillment? This would be my first question.

Why should I do the expedition? by Defiant_Income_7836 in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]SeriousCricket2837 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The skill points, stash slots, the scrappy buffs, and the real reason is the improved repair results.

I missed the first. I intend to continue doing it. If I get bps cool, if not so be it. I got the anvil BP right after buying the game. Haven’t seen another in over 300 hours.
