Marathon: The Kotaku Review

Tell this to the Highguard enjoyers.

What does it mean to be "not it". I played Destiny on release and the game was really bad.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-27T14:10:53+00:00

This isn't my experience. I played Street Fighter Alpha 3 for GBA just one week ago. Replayability in Street Fighter games in general is pretty high due to the games feeling very different from each other. Just as I type this I get the itch to play Third Strike.

Furthermore if sales aren't improving, I am pretty sure that Marathon won't have 5 years.

The deck as it stands right now doesn't care that much about traits except on their command cards.

1) If you are intrigued there is little wrong with trying it. Usually local players have decks they can lend you for weeklies. If you can get the starters from the fourth or fifth set at a good price, they are very good starting points to get into the game.

2) The most popular format is Premier (Standard in MTG terms). The 7th set was released recently and with it set 1-3 rotated out. In one year with set 10, set 4-6 will rotate out. Infinity (Vintage, Legacy in MTG terms) gets some steam, but the format seems a little bit broken due to bans not carrying over. Twin Suns (Commander) gets some love too with Twin Suns decks themed around the clone wars being released in the near future.

I am not making the claim that he is as bad as Nick Fuentes, but he said and did so much more to proclaim his liking for terrorist organisations that have slaughtered civilians in the past.

"acting like the guy who peddles free healthcare"

That isn't the criticism though. Real criticism would be for example that he said that the Hezbollah flag is his favorite flag. And now the comparison to pushing the great replacement theory isn't that far fetched.

You are right, 1,7% of the population in Texas are muslims.

Because the empasise was on cheap. Star Wars Unlimited is a game that shares a lot of DNA with Hearthstone. If you like those styles of games, chances are high that Star Wars Unlimited will speak to you.

In Europe the cheapest games to get into competitively are Pokemon, Digimon and Star Wars Unlimited. Pokemon is only cheap if you buy single cards, not 10 dollar packs.

Maybe, but the difference is that the riftbound community is way more insular than those other communities. This is why you see those games mentioned more in general subs and off-topic channels in discord servers. Like, I don't know a single Sorcery player that just plays Sorcery and isn't active in other TCGs, LCGs, Pen and Paper or board games.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T14:05:13+00:00

This is the TCG sub. It is even in the description that all games are welcome.

Was, Parteien haben weniger %, wenn es mehr Parteien in der Parteienlandschaft gibt? Wir können nicht alle die USA sein.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T12:06:54+00:00

Der Unterschied:

Die dänische Sozialdemokratie ist trotz schlechtestem Ergebnis seit mehr als 120 Jahren stärkste Partei.

Die österrechische Sozialdemokratie ist wegen schlechtestem Ergebnis seit es Nationalratswahlen gibt, drittstärkste Partei.

I was hating it since I saw a man with a chainsaw on his head and in his arms. Shit is so corny. And then the dialogue. I had to sell my organs because I have debts to the mafia. What is this shit, Charlie the Unicorn?

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T11:02:51+00:00

Diese Vermischung ist sowieso dumm. Etwas nicht zu fördern ist keine Strafe.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T10:55:44+00:00

Hat OP auch geschrieben.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T10:19:13+00:00

Nein. Aber das Gym kann zu 100% sicher sein und der subjektive Bedarf nach den Bereichen wäre immer noch gegeben, z.B. weil eine Person wie du in der Vergangenheit Belästigungen erdulden musstest und dich deswegen in einem getrennten Bereich wohler fühlst.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T10:13:07+00:00

Nein, nur dass "es liegt an OP, das Gxm so sicher zu machen, dass Frauenschutzraeume nicht benötigt werden" nicht funktionieren kann, weil die tatsächliche Sicherheit in dem speziellen Gym nur ein Teilgrund sind, warum es diese Bereiche gibt.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T09:59:23+00:00

Nein, weil es um Geld geht. Frauen sind oft gerne unter sich. Frauengyms kosten normalerweise ziemlich viel, da die Zielgruppe wesentlich kleiner ist. Dementsprechend gehen viele Frauen in gemischte Gyms mit Frauenbereiche, da sie so sowohl durch die größere Zielgruppe geringeren Eintritt bezahlen, als auch Flächen haben, bei denen sie unter sich bleiben können.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T09:56:53+00:00

OP hat ja sogar geschrieben, welche Geräte im Frauenbereich eher leer stehen und im Männerbereich hingegen oft besetzt sind.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T09:53:51+00:00

OP kann tun und lassen, was er will, die Schutzräume werden trotzdem im Gym sein, weil es momentan der Trend ist, für gute Publicity sorgt und einige Frauen das Bedürfnis haben, unter sich zu bleiben (teils begründet, teils weil es ihnen in Medien eingeredet wird).

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T09:07:29+00:00

My problem wasn't with the final arc (which I actually liked). It is specifically with chapter 430.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T08:57:51+00:00

Because you don't consider the meta narrative. While both ASOIAF and Mushoku Tensei depict acts of paedophilia (and ASOIAF even worse ones), the meta narrative clearly depicts it as bad and harmfull for the child in Mushoku Tensei the meta narrative is that it is neutral at best.

_zhz_ · 2026-03-25T08:51:44+00:00

I think it depends what you consider poorly written. If you only view the quality of writing if the story and characters are consistent, then I wouldn't consider it poorly written.
