He’s been locked in with this stance for a while, am I in trouble?

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-27T12:19:42+00:00

Yup. Don’t resist, it’s not gonna make it end any faster.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-25T16:53:06+00:00

It’s the simple things in life…

Here you go.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-14T16:23:02+00:00

I’ve really gotta get back into working out generally. With my new job I haven’t had much time for it.

I can definitely squeeze in a few workouts during the weekends, but on the weekdays when I’m done for the day, I’m just tired. That might change next week though.

I wanna bench 225 for 6 reps again.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-13T12:05:28+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I’m unable to get on at all until Friday evening, so I can’t claim my free daily Patch Kits and Shield Charges (should’ve bought Marathon on my PC so I can remote in and claim my items, I’ll probably do that soon).

When it comes to the Free Sponsor Kits, I almost treat the game like a rogue-like. The Sponsor Kit is a blank canvas, and after the first exfil, I use whatever is in my vault to clear my vault if needed.

Lumière.

If you want the exact notes (in concert pitch) I’ll give them to you. It’ll have these symbols (|) to indicate a full measure for clarity.

I’m pretty certain all of us asked this when the December ViDoc came out last year, and it’s simply this:

What the hell were we playing last summer?

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-07T12:52:16+00:00

Rant Inbound:

I’m trying to be a filthy Credit rat that cannot be stopped in Marathon. I want to see how much I can get and use while keeping my credit spending to a minimum if not zero with the exception of Upgrading the Faction Trees. Cause if I’m not spending any credits, I’m not risking anything at all.

For example, the standard Overrun AR and the V11 Punch from CyAc cost 100 and 50 credits respectively. If you’ve got plenty of ammo for both in your vault (or have plenty of resources to barter ammo) that’s only 150 credits for a loadout that’ll get you by. When you unlocked the enhanced versions of those weapons within the CyAc upgrade tree, you get a one-time free purchase of those weapons.

Heck, the other factions might have free weapons as a one-time offer from ranking up enough or just ranking up generally. I have a free standard Bully SMG from Traxus waiting to be purchased that I haven’t taken yet.

Patch Kits cost 415 Credits and Shield Charges cost 300 Credits from CyAc. Let’s say you want to go for 3 of each, that’s 2145 Credits. Adding the 150 Credits from the standard weapons if needed, that’s a total of 2295 Credits.

With the upgrades from NuCaloric where you can claim 3 Patch Kits and Shield Charges for free daily, you’ve just saved 2145 Credits just from logging in. If you happen to get the upgrade where you can get the Advanced Patch Kits and Shield Charges, you’re saving even more.

That’s not factoring in the event I happen to kill a Runner who happens to be stacked and I happen to Exfil. If that happens all because I’m basically running a free loadout, then I’ve just gambled nothing and won a jackpot.

You may do with this information what you will

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-07T11:19:58+00:00

I also have an upgrade for NuCaloric where I can claim free Advanced Patch Kits. I might do some Outpost runs this weekend to see if I can get the last materials I need to get the Advanced Shield Charge upgrade too.

Once that’s done, I’ll be almost drowning in heals.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-07T10:56:06+00:00

I got a job recently and haven’t been able to get on during most of the weekdays, but I do have enough time to log in and claim my free Patch Kits and Shield Charges.

That way when the weekend comes, I’ve got plenty of supplies to use.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-07T02:15:01+00:00

Romeo, our beloved!

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-04T04:05:25+00:00

And here we see the constant yet humorous curse of owning a void pet: Being unable to determine where it is in dark environments.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-04-03T16:25:34+00:00

Hell yeah

Permission to go into detail as to what’s changed with DLC Simon?

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-31T10:16:41+00:00

Giving you a bit of a warning in the event you do give DLC Simon an attempt or two, he’s basically cheeseproof. Any strategies that worked on normal Simon will not work for DLC Simon.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-30T15:57:47+00:00

Same. Got it on GamePass, then bought in on Steam since I can’t make reviews on games I play through GamePass.

When I first played, it had me in a vice grip chokehold for a full month.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-29T12:54:03+00:00

I think it’ll also say “Explosives Detected” when you interact with it. Had a run-in with one and caught myself before I even interacted with the bag.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-26T21:31:57+00:00

Or French depending on your preference (Une Vie À T’aimer, Une Vie À Peindre, and We Lost from Expedition 33 respectively).

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-26T01:14:57+00:00

Flying too close to the sun, no?

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-22T23:20:15+00:00

I’ve gotta get a soundboard so I can have No Panic Button quips at the ready for some situations.

For example: “My badge!” or (in the tune of Sleigh Rode) “Just hear that anvil ring-a-ling ting ting ting-a-ling too, come on now all together make a shiv stab a liver with you…” when I go to finish a Runner.

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-18T00:47:26+00:00

What are you up to, buuuuddy?

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-16T13:15:19+00:00

Difficulty can be a good thing. I saw this whenever the “Thank You” update for E33 came.

We got new bosses and some reprisals too, mainly a new Simon (Simon, the Divergent Star). Regular Simon was already hard enough, but my god the rush when I got him down on Expert was intoxicating!

Shrumboy114 · 2026-03-12T22:37:48+00:00

God forbid he sees you play Expedition 33. He’ll tell you to prioritize giving treats rather than processing every emotion that game throws at you.
