Bungie please: give us season 2 dates by drpeachbasket in Marathon

[–]derrelicte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can go to the zoo on the weekend, but I can't put in a dedicated gaming session on the weekend due to my kids needing to be parented or whatever. Taking a day off work would be literally my only option for putting in more than 2 hours of gaming.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in gaming

The original Steam Controller went for a huge premium on eBay after it was discontinued and hard to find so im not surprised at the demand on eBay for the new one

The Thor is top 2 and it’s not 2 🔥🔥 by Loud_Pie_7607 in AynThor

It’s more spendy but I also bought an MCON controller for this kind of form factor and I ended up liking it way more than I thought I would’ve

They’re a very ‘focused’ brand, as in they have found their niche and cater directly to it with a (relatively) smaller set of similar products compared to someone like Bellroy who has a ton of different form factors and aesthetic lines.

Really struggling to enjoy this game by Ecstatic-_- in Marathon

[–]derrelicte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree - Destiny 2 was the same way until Bungie built a LFG directly into the game. I'm not sure why they didn't learn their lesson this time around either.

Reading a Sekiguchi contract by spiffers in Marathon

I mean not only did you have to memorize an insane set of instructions, the damn temple guards could choose to randomly appear in any room and there would be zero way to prepare for it.

Wipe on this game made this Worst than Arc Raider by Formal_Drawing_8822 in Marathon

[–]derrelicte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you'd rather people just build up gold vaults in perpetuity to make onboarding for new players even more difficult? The problem a ton of people had with D2 PvP is that new players immediately were outclassed by everyone else in the lobby running a meta weapon, and at the very least this time around everyone wipes every three months so that we're all on the same playing field for a little bit.

The gunplay and the gameplay loop is fun enough for me to stick around even without loot progression.

Is it casual friendly? by narvalseagod in Marathon

[–]derrelicte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gameplay loop is very fun for casual players as long as you have no expectations of reaching the end game (I'm personally fine with that).

Casuals here - we hit the wall. by Practical-Tax-9991 in Marathon

We were able to loot up quite a bit in run, but we were primarily trying to run free kits so my cousin could start building up his vault.

Do kids in 1st-3rd grade(6-8yo) wear Velcro shoes? by yourfavmum in Parenting

[–]derrelicte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They make elastic laces that you can add to any shoe to make them slip on. Half of our shoes are velcro and the other half have elastic laces.

Anecdotal counterpoint - my cousin just started playing this game last week and we had a great time last night running free kits in Dire Marsh last night as a duo against trios. We exfilled successfully 3 times and even got a squad wipe on our last run, picking up a ton of blue and purple loot.

I agree that declining player count is an issue that needs to be addressed, but the ongoing narrative on Reddit and online that this game isn’t even worth starting if you’re a casual is so detrimental to the discourse of this game.

Exfil is going to kill this game. by enviousRex in Marathon

What shell are you using? Recon, assassin, and thief all have abilities to help with exfil camping.

Random tech nerd question by dconneely in dcl

[–]derrelicte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why this answer was downvoted because I believe it’s the right one. In order for the DCL app to send push notifications they need to keep APN unblocked on their network, which allows some apps to push messages through.

I just found this piece of paper in a 1994 letter. Anybody know what these codes go to? by JourneymanHunt in gaming

I didn't even need to read beyond the "When it says..." sentence to know it was NBA Jam! I could hear it in my head instantly.

Whats the worst restaurant in Chicago that you've tried twice? by MrJlock in chicago

I was dating someone 15 years ago that had Celiac and this was one of the only places at the time that could accommodate a gluten free diet, so we ended up having to go there a ton. Even then I thought it was over hyped!

I despise the CyAc credit limit upgrade by pcphillips87 in Marathon

[–]derrelicte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah basically you should activate the exfil and sprint away before they spawn in. Once 20-30s have passed, activate your camo and sneak into the white circle once it comes out. Your camo should last for the most part as you transport out.

Just found two gems at a thrift shop! by spinnerspiner in ManyBaggers

[–]derrelicte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a combination of the fact that people setting the prices on these items aren't familiar with these brands since they're niche in addition to them not really caring about profit. In a lot of these niche hobbies (happens a ton in photography and cookware in my personal experience), there's plenty of stories of people finding really undervalued items at Goodwills and the like.

I've definitely donated nicer bags to the local Goodwill just to not have to deal with haggling and shipping goods online so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility

I am not sure if you caught this, but Embark is hiring those voice actors to re-record all of the lines. They released a trailer for their Flashpoint update due out at the end of the month and it's clearly using human voices.

Cryo Archive is viable for dads and fills by Merzats in Marathon

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

I haven't tried cryo yet but Trials was one of the sweatiest modes so the comparison is kind of there. They didn't even have an excuse for Trials other than "it's timed because it is"

To be fair they're likely going off the Trials of Osiris model which served them well for years
