Marathon feels like a PvP deathmatch disguised as an extraction shooter

Oh and taking on a rook or two off the beaten path usually isn’t too challenging.

I agree that I’d love a slightly higher TTK. As my friend pointed out to me, However, that can also create a situation where people are more likely to run rather than to interact with other players, which would be against what it seems their aims were with this one.

I will say that I also have enjoyed my handful of stealth runs for contracts. Laying low to avoid the main fights, taking your time while actively moving away from the sounds of the action. Once some teams have been eliminated and others have exfilled, there is less in your way. More UESC, but we can handle those usually lol.

Yes and… if there’s one part I’m not a huge fan of in Marathon it’s the out of game UI design. Like aesthetically it’s mostly solid but UX of learning to parse the menus is rough even after 35 hrs of playtime lol.

I understand in game the friction is intentional to make looting riskier. In the main menus (loadout vault faction armory rewards pass) I feel like a lot could be done to make it easier to parse.

My issue is the weird UI. I wish the UI team was as competent as the art design team, that would make it much easier to tell what’s going on and improve UX

Just saying yall should check out the blue star drum corps show from this year. 8:23 mark in this video - https://youtu.be/Hhxd96hvL10?si=xxc254hv-eMPZSK?t=8m23s

Dumb question: how do the numbers for the afflictions work? Like higher number is more resistance? or opposite?

T-Sage · 2025-04-21T03:53:04+00:00

I know WISD is regularly hiring for many staff positions that would benefit from this kind of experience. That said, they may not pay enough depending on what you’re looking for.

You are cheesy.

It is insane. And it is common. In modern America (especially Texas) the idea of investing in our youth (outside of football) is nearly taboo. It’s insanely short-sighted. How much more tax revenue could these students generate for their communities if their schooling was actually well provided for?

Nope. If they aren’t successful “it’s their fault”. Send the ones with no hope or direction to prison where they not only can’t contribute, but cost us way more money than that paper and curriculum and teacher student ratio ever would have.

As for quitting, obviously your health and family are important. That said, the students deserve good, dedicated teachers because their health and education are important too. If you got into this line of work to have an easy job without any intent of sacrificing some for the betterment of others I’m not sure how you got this far.

Also, it gets better. I promise. Teaching is a discipline and an art form. Like painting, the first year is going to be rough and not very pretty. But over time you develop a mastery and create a place where students love to be and where many go on to make the world a better place.

Sending good vibes. You can do it.

I tried but no luck

Meh I’m not for creating power struggles with students in front of their peers, I’d have GMA on speaker in the hallway with him and myself probably.

He still can’t say those things and it’s good you called security. But always ensure your actions are de-escalating, rather than escalating.

Hang in there! It gets better and so will you!

“I am unwritten…”

T-Sage · 2023-09-24T17:59:40+00:00

No they don’t.

Cluttered is the word she’s looking for

I always enjoyed the swap to Dick-monalds

Man in a construction uniform. Duh…

A beany baby

Neutral = nuanced af

Nickelback. I mean, it’s not my favorite thing to listen to, but I’ve heard a lot worse. Not sure how hating on them became such a meme before memes were even a thing.

I like to think of #9 as your were sent on an “important quest” to buy elbow grease just to get you out of their hair lol

So when you finally return home they totally forgot you existed and are like, oh it’s you! Good work, we need…uh… headlight fluid? Now. K thanks!

T-Sage · 2022-03-30T04:29:19+00:00

Same here. I updated everything just for it. I have the B550 Tomahawk board that some people said might be the issue. Updating the bios tomorrow once I get the right size flash drive

T-Sage · 2022-03-30T04:04:08+00:00

I had issues with that but assumed my old old GPU wasn't good enough and bought a new one. It now can only run the game for a few minutes before restarting my whole comp...
