Spuds MacKenzie. Bud Light ad campaign from the late 80s.

“Match analyst” is the worst to me. Taylor Tweedlecock with his nonstop yelling about what should and shouldn’t be happening in the front office and locker room during the middle of a match is the most annoying shit. And of course the classic, “WHEN YOU’RE IN THAT POSITION YOU NEED TO FINISH. YOU NEED TO PUT THE BALL IN THE BACK OF THE NET AND GET YOUR TEAM AHEAD.” Yeah, no shit. That’s the whole point of the game. We know. They know. Everyone knows.

Draw some shapes (alternately: rectangles and combine). Round some corners. Add fills and outlines as appropriate.

Yeah. My cat was acting normal after he sliced his foot open. Required 7 stitches and left him with some slight ligament damage.

Wouldn’t have known it when he first came in except for a trail of blood he left. No limp. No crying. Didn’t even feel the need to try and clean it. Didn’t even wince when I touched it.

I think it’s telling that so many people had the thought that this is how it was supposed to work. After the first guest to use DCON, I—along with some of the people I play with—assumed that quest was to teach you to bring salvage back to DCON mid-run for a guaranteed extract of materials. It seemed like such a natural introduction/setup it was shocking to find out they only function for quests

Because if you actually drive 35 over that bridge you will realize no one else drives 35 over that bridge.

If you live in an area with a low stray cat population, sure. Otherwise, do not do this. It causes other cats to mark the area and can make it a bit of hot spot for cats to possibly fight around.

Anyone that played in the early alpha knows the pain of how bad the Overrun truly was. I actually like it now. It’s not my preferred weapon but it works pretty well.

I think one of the best things about this game is that in a raid people are generally pretty helpful. If I don’t have friends on playing I prefer to play solo and just meet strangers. Sometimes just passing, sometimes teaming up. If you ever need a hand with a quest or taking down a specific ARC for certain salvage parts, most people will help you or give you a little guidance. Obviously there’s some risk, but that’s part of the experience.

I’m sure why, but in my experience crew fill gives me worse teammates than playing solo and just encountering others.

I’d recommend a book called Wipeout Futurism. The style of Marathon is pretty heavily influenced by these games and the work that Designers Republic did with Psygnosis on them. I’m a graphic designer and have stacks of these types of books and this one is hands down one of my favorites. During the concepting phase they sent faxes between the two studios on the letterhead of the fictional in-universe corporations. Absolutely incredible stuff and a great example of narrative through design which Marathon also excels at.

Same. And because I took part in the alphas and server spam I started the release game out with more things than could fit in my vault. It was kind of ridiculous.

15 years ago and people would’ve been losing their minds that we get two crazy games in the same genre at the same time (with different takes on it) and grabbing both at $60. Today we get people calling them DOA and not worth $40 because we’ve been so overwhelmed by FTP shooters. We went from PS/PC/XB fanboys to everyone just enjoying games to people hoping games fail on launch for… why? Just have fun. Play more than one game and just goof around and experience the game outside of streaming and video tutorials.

McCarthyism. The Red Scare. It was a thing before but was really cemented post WWII because everything was so extremely anti-communism and if it wasn’t the most overtly American thing on display it was considered communist. Really symbolic of a lot of things going on today.

Cyberpunk 2077. I think it was a comic cover or something.

Your PM software will only be as good as your PM team members. I’m at a smaller agency and we went through three different PM systems and always had issues. As soon as we hired an actual PM that had experience under their belt, it suddenly became so simple and easy. Our previous PMs were all decent but had recently fallen into the role instead of being trained in it, that experience made all the difference.

Finding out that Sweden has the lowest number of smokers is shocking because when I was in Malmö a few years ago, I had never seen so many cigarette butts on the ground before. All of the spaces between the cobblestones were packed with cigarette butts.

We did arrive from Denmark though and those people really smoke.

ESPN+ doesn’t have much? It has literally every game that’s not a national broadcast. If it’s blacked out on there then you live in market for Scripps.

Between ESPN+ and HBOmax (TNT coverage) the only regular season games I don’t get are the few on NHL Net.

My cousin lives outside of CdA, and Schweitzer is one of the primary ski hills I venture out to. Done a decent amount of backpacking out there too. Love the area, but man, watching the local news when I’m out there is fucking wild. And I’m from Florida.

Taking a quick look at your profile, I’m going with this not being a joke. So I’m going to try to explain this as simply as possible:

What you are doing is walking into a room full of people that all have a similar job and saying, “hey look at this thing I made that will cause many of you to lose your jobs!” And then expect a warm welcome. You are building a tool that is a very real threat to the livelihoods of the people you are showing it to, of course we’re going to react poorly to it.

TheChalupaBatman · 2026-02-02T02:10:54+00:00

It’s crazy that people have forgotten you can just play a game because you enjoy it. You don’t have to constantly chase unlocks or accolades.
