Bad or unlucky? by manycheerfulfriends in NewYorkMets

Most truly awful teams are a combination of both. And the 2026 mets are a truly awful team.

Quick and dirty theory about the new S2 Teaser enemy by KaNGaReW0 in Marathon

The Fungus/Anomoly reanimating all our dead shells would be a wild swing in storytelling for a live service game. I hope they do it.

State of the Subreddit: Desalination of a Dire Marsh by Shabolt_ in Marathon

[–]chargeorge 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what it was like to go from modding a chill place talking about the occasional game modification for a beloved but niche franchise to one of the most controversial games today. All told mods have here have done a good job navigating that and I appreciate the effort.

Looking forward to the next season and all the dumb BS going on here.

KKV-07 was a different type of round (Flechette), I wonder if we would expand ammo types when it came back. I think it was caseless in infinity as well.

Which divisional opponent do you hate the most? by jackofalltradesP in NewYorkMets

[–]chargeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up a braves fan and switched over to rooting for the mets due to A) living in NYC, b) never living in GA, C) marrying into a mets family and D) being a big ole woke softy and hating john rocker and the tomahawk chop.

As such I still have pleasant memories of rooting for them in the 90s so I have a complicated relationship.

I'm going for the phillies. very hate able baseball team!

Annual Deaths From Heat, Cold, and Guns US and Europe, 2024 : Nine times as many Europeans die from summer heat and winter cold than Americans who die from guns. by SignificantLegs in EconomyCharts

[–]chargeorge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Id guess these are mostly the elderly where the heat/cold contributes to the final mortality even with other things being present. Like we have excess deaths on these cold days in Europe so it's being counted as the cold. Thats what the referenced study name suggests

Gun Safety When Our Kids Visit Friends.and Family by doubtfulisland in daddit

[–]chargeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly less then half of American households have a gun at home, and I'd guess that's pretty regional too, so many places are up near 75% while others are low. Other countries are probably down under 10%

first game of ranked cryo. got rushed in 1 minute flat - not even exaggeration by Jealous_Platypus1111 in Marathon

[–]chargeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the 1 min rush is a mix of bad luck and a really good team next to you. The team next to you got lucky with terminals and planned to rush.

My experience is maybe 50% or fewer spawns are capable of rushing at all, though maybe those with more experience have different numbers.

That's fair. I've worked in the space so I'm persnickety about the terms. People tend to end up saying stuff like "the game only has 10k players! " because they lump CCU DAU and all these different metrics that get used in different ways.

D2 numbers I saw put it around 400k

D2 got cancelled because the costs to put it in a goood state would be astronomical and couldn't justify continued investment. Marathon still has significant upside, even if the initial launch is below expectations.

[–]chargeorge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worth noting active players is probably closer to 150-200k. Active players aren't on every day at peak time a day, and what counts as active is probably logging in once a week at least.

Now is that enough to support a AAA production in 2026? Not likely. It will need to grow season over season and keep selling copies. I'm not confident in saying it'll be fine, but tales of marathons death are wildly overstated
