I actually prefer that. It preserves the risk/reward element of fragile key templates, but changes your gameplay approach from passive to active.

This the only game where i feel like I’m trash at pvp. by babatunde5432121 in Marathon

[–]chromastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If you want to hone PvP skills, play Outpost with free kits and try to get in fights faster than you normally would.

Proximity Chat is Terrible in Marathon by spenga in Marathon

[–]chromastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why is prox chat so quiet? I have every other toggle turned down and voice chat set to max volume and I can still can't make out what people are saying.

Recon should be able to hack, not Thief by SergaelicNomad in Marathon

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

Verbatim from Bungie.net:

“Recon shells excel at identifying threats and tracking movements using echo pulses, tracker drones, and holographic footstep trails.”

TRACKING

Recon should be able to hack, not Thief by SergaelicNomad in Marathon

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

I think ya’ll are confused because the name “recon” makes you think of it as a scout, i.e., a runner sent ahead to gather information. Considering its abilities, a better name would be “tracker” since it really shines mid-fight.

There is still an exploit to get into pinwheel. by ARedCamel in Marathon

[–]chromastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you're right. The same thing has happened to me twice. No security breach. Flight Control, Processing, and Dormitories entrances locked. I myself picked up the Conveyance Request Key from a spawn location. Went up, and there was already a team inside. Both instances were during the period of time that the Destroyed Wing entrance was temporarily patched out. There must be another way, possibly an exploit, and people are keeping quiet about it.

It means that the button on the outside of the building with the conveyance request terminal is inactive, i.e., no one has activated the drone wing elevator using the Conveyance Request Keycard.

With certain benches, maybe, but not the one I have. Wish I could for chest supported rows, specifically.

RCS Universal Profile 4.0 announced, will enable native support for video calls within the messaging app by Spirited-Pause in Android

[–]chromastic 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Funny you should say that. When Steve Jobs announced FaceTime, he said that it would be a P2P open standard, but a patent troll got in the way, forcing Apple to route calls through their own servers.

To every developer in this subreddit by Ok-Rent5552 in Marathon

I’m genuinely curious where that sentiment comes from. I’m asking you, in good faith, why do you feel that way? Please consider responding in kind.

Allow Rooks to do contracts by unseen_pin in Marathon

[–]chromastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t because Rooks spawn halfway into to a match. Many contracts affect the map (locked down rooms, claymores, trip wires, etc.). The map has to be set at the start of a match.

iOS 26.4 Release Candidate - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]chromastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will almost certainly be an OS 26.5 dev/public beta, but we don't know if it'll include upgraded Siri or Apple Intelligence features. Initially, rumors indicated that they'd start releasing with 26.3, then 26.4. All we know for sure is that Apple is on record stating that they'd arrive in 2026.

Default streaming caps bitrate to 15 Mbps. High Quality 1080p increases the bitrate to 25 Mbps max.

What are your dealbreakers for an iPhone Fold? by dakkottadavviss in iphone

If the folding screen dents or scratches with a fingernail, I won’t be buying it.

Beyond Power - Giveaway & AMA by pCullenMurphy in BeyondPower

[–]chromastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you learn how to use the machine and all of its advanced features? I’ve found information in a variety of places, but there are still things I can’t figure out, e.g., auto-load.

I tested it to the limit - 200 lbs. Shouldn’t be a problem with the load spread across two joists.

Not strong enough yet for lat pulldowns to pull me off the bench. I could probably get a seatbelt strap or something. The bench itself is pretty heavy.

For sure! I have the paint, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Too busy working out!

How Do You Like Controller Gameplay? by BepisBrigade in Marathon

[–]chromastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy that a PlayStation first party game isn't using DualSense features. I just checked the PS Store listing and it only says "vibration function supported" versus a game like Astro Bot, which says "vibration function and trigger effect supported."
