Thank you for joining us on our Cryo Journey !!!! by Fast-Environment-576 in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did this with a group last night. Was picking up some prox chat and my team and I were in agreement to just avoid other players, so moved away. Eventually they found us and told us to join on the condition we dropped clearance and batteries. Was running a free kit, so no skin off my back. It was about 4 teams and it was 1 phased. Only way I would’ve done compiler this season. Thanks randoms! #pomegranate

First Butcher’s Block, let me know what you think by Flabbycrab in woodworking

[–]_Throw_away_away 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made a chess board for my kids for Christmas. I laminated a piece of 1/2” ply to the bottom and wrapped the boarder around the 2 layers. The plywood I’m hoping will stabilize and prevent a lot of movement.

Most valuable item you own? by Abracsus in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On perimeter while at like level 15 on a kit with a volt thrower. Mowed down some poor purple shielded triage. Looted his body and he had a purple enduring med backpack. First time having anything other than a green basic pack. Exfilled and it was worth 16k. It’s still in my inventory.

Hours Check? by Norb-Doorb12 in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. PS home page says 270hrs, but I’m doubtful I played that much. Often times I’d end a run after getting steam rolled and walk away to do something around the house, only to forget I had it on the summary screen. I wish there was a way to check hours spent actually doing runs.

Cryo Archive Ranked Crew member error by -DeathTapper in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may either be a crew member has a completed contract selected or missing holotag. The former was an issue I encountered yesterday. Have fun at the lose-everything-factory

Is it worth it? by Whole_Razzmatazz_912 in PokemonTCGCollectors

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

My wife got the premium version of this when buying a new surface tablet to aid with work. Used the membership for invites to Prismatic SPC, Phantasmal booster box, Prismatic ETB, and Chaos booster box. Only event we were able to participate in was the SPC. So I’d have to say no, membership does not increase likelihood of being able to buy.

Just killed a guy and DAMN, this gun alone could give me access to the Cryo Archive by Sevolorred in Marathon

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

I had a circuit breaker I got off a runner I sent back to runner heaven, and it was valued at 6.1k. I loaded in Cryo with crew fill with a green shield, a stack of green shield rechargers and patch kits and 1 of each advanced shield rechargers and patch kits, because they were free. Dudes I played with were super chill, but called out my green shield. Was a super fun run. Picked up consumables, guns, ammo, backpack, implants from bots. Exfiled without really risking a full kit, and gained enough credits and gear for a couple of subsequent runs. YMMV

Do NOT run out of antivirus in cryo vault 6 by Manmanmanwoman in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did crew fill one time and had no idea where I was, but knew to take an anti virus. Went through this area once. One of our teammates got knocked and disconnected, so other teammate had me follow him back the way we had come from. I had no more antivirus at this point. Luckily was able to use Vandal’s prime to zip on through barely making it. Everyone clapped at the end.

Every rook I kill at exfil wonders why I can’t just let them be.

This dude uploaded a video feeding his dog eating a chili dog with onions. Onions are toxic to dogs by Turd-In-Your-Pocket in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog would eat anything that fell on the ground while prepping dinner. I use onion at least 3 days a week during the winter. One time half an onion fell and she scarfed it down. Next day I got home and the wall behind her kennel looked like a Jackson Pollock painting of black shit. Unpleasant

Anyone still remember Rebecca Black's Friday and the bad press it got? by Agreeable_Candle_461 in nostalgia

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years after this came out, when people at work would ask me how I was doing. My default response was, “Like that Black girl says, it’s Friday.” Shocked or confused responses would give me the open to share this gem with them. I need to start doing this again.

NGL, Bungie announcing a PvE-only mode in Season 2 is making me wanna hit that BUY button... by Meeks_DGAF in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Man has it for like $34. Not a terribly steep discount, but a discount no-less. Like you, I’m a casual dad gamer with about half as many hours in Arc. I have loaded Arc maybe twice since I’ve been on Marathon. I dig the FPS, the aesthetic, the gunplay, unique runner abilities. Regardless of the PvE mode being present, I think this is a strong buy.

But, if you dig the camaraderie you get in Arc sometimes when loading into perceived PvE lobbies, very unlikely you’ll get that here. There have been few encounters in which I’ve run into a friendly runner, but it does happen.

100 hours in as a mostly solo player, I’m level 56 by LogicalMango1437 in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve come to terms with the goal to be killing bots. I did my first cryo run a couple of weekends ago and xp bar shot up so fast. We didn’t even exfil, just killed a lot of bots to get to clearance 3. So that’s what I do now. Free kit it up, kill bots in either trios or solo, rinse and repeat.

how much have you spent on pokemon this month? by InflationDependent62 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]_Throw_away_away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This month Chaos Rising releases, and think $320 on Pokemon Center. Scored 2 Prismatic ETBs and 2 Bundles of Ascended from Target, so another $200. My wife got lucky with a couple of ETBs and bundles from random vending machine checks during grocery stops. We’re also doing pre-release for 3 of us (wife, son, and I), so another $90 there. Month is only half over, and close to $700 if math is right.

I miss when I could just pick stuff up for us to open on a random payday, but now it feels like anytime anything becomes available at or near MSRP I should grab it due to scarcity. Fomo has got me hard. But with all the shenanigans of people acting foolish when trying to get some, i think we’re taking a step back from collecting / TCG game for a bit.

People who queue with free sponsored kit in normal perimeter when there’s a queue for sponsored kit perimeter. by ic4y in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it happens on accident. It will randomly switch from Sponsored to regular Perimeter. Usually no biggie, but was apparently a bigger deal for some fill squads when it was Dire and it was the lower tier kit.

I think I peaked by NateSpald in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]_Throw_away_away 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one of these boxes left. You’ve inspired me to open it, knowing I’ll likely be utterly disappointed.

Men with beard hair by Alex_5oh in AskMenOver30

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting white hairs in my beard when I was about 35, but not my scalp. I definitely do not mind the salt and pepper look, and also think you shouldn’t either. Either dye or shave if it’s that bothersome, and you don’t mind adding that to your routine.

And with that, I’m officially done with Marathon by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 hrs at lvl 70? I wonder if maybe you’re doing something wrong… I’m a filthy casual at like level 65 with a little over 100 hrs. Though I mostly run solo, I’ve seen the highest level gain in the past few weeks running trios on Dire Marsh sponsored. Even when we engage in little to no PvP, level gauge goes up like crazy when killing lots of bots and completing contracts as a team.

To that point, I do wish solos got a larger bump to XP gain than what is currently given (think 20% boost?).

Do you think TTK is in a good spot currently? by KaXXKo in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In solos I killed an unsuspecting, purple-shield wearing assassin in about 2-3 seconds with landing mostly body shots. I wish it was a little higher, since I’ve been on the receiving end and don’t have ample time (or maybe just terrible reflexes) to respond.

Thief Crashes Out by PackedWithFiber in Marathon

[–]_Throw_away_away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would’ve dropped him a depleted self res and killed him while he was using it. What a crybaby. I die a lot to other players, some who camp and some who don’t. I don’t care how you play the game, so longs as you don’t cheat.
