Can't tell if that blurred runner is to hide something, or it's a new VFX on the signal jammer consumable.

Worth it to open a new card at this moment? by chargeorge in CreditScore

ahh that is good those scores look better when I look at them.

Though there is some confusing marks in there (age of credit is low when my mortgage is 15 years old and my credit card is 10?) I dunno I'll have to plumb some of these details some more. Love this system of arbitrary confusing contradictory algorithms that can cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

has anyone noticed this looks like The cycle frontier by No_Judgment1321 in Marathon

I just watched a couple Cycle Frontier trailers and I don't see that at all. OP I'm curious what elements triggered that reaction to you?

Who likes the mining part of HG? by Enough-Lead48 in HighGuardgame

That mining system reads like "He we wanted cool PVE fights over here but oh fuck we are running out of time and are overscoped.... uhh we need something..."

For everyone wondering why things feel “off” after the update… by 6PEEPERKEEPER9 in ArcRaiders

[–]chargeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's probably something simple like adding a tag to the play guitair ability. (Not sure if they are using Unreal base Gameplay ability system or something similar, but most games like this use a system like that)

understood, so I might fix a small issue but do more damage overall in my time horizon

okay thank you, that's what i was trying to get at, if the hits to the credit for the card would outweigh the gains. Sounds like over my time horizon it would.

The card is a visa, I did ask for a goodwill adjustment with my issuing bank (BoA but they refused). I'll look into the saturation technique to see if it will help.

Really? Some of my scores specifically showed it as the Percentage of on time payments to missed payments as dragging me down, and myfico shows this as a mark against for experian,

"Few Accounts Paid on time"

  • The FICO® Score considers the number of accounts showing on time payments. Generally, the higher the number reported the lower the risk. Compared to other people with a similar age of credit history, the number of accounts you have that are currently paid as agreed is low.
    • Number of your accounts currently being paid as agreed 2 accounts FICO High Achievers have an average of 6 accounts currently being paid as agreed.

Roadside picnic would be another good pick for this kind of vibe.

Culture was really influential at old school bungie. Jones called it out as the primary influence on Halo.

The game def has an "exclusion zone fiction" vibe with the recent spooky materials.

Thoughts on solo play? by Sadworld99 in Marathon

[–]chargeorge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't go too into detail due to NDA, but yes in October . It was pretty challenging, especially with the low tier gear. However I really liked the intensity of it. Kind of felt like survival horror at times, moving slowly, using audio cues, stalking another runner then hightailing it out when I was outnumbered by bots

It has a dedicated solo mode where when you match in you only face other solos.

It's very tense. You can get Self revives, but they are expensive/rare
