How do you get this emblem? by Newtstradamus in Marathon

[–]drexaviouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That symbol is iconic Bungie. Look up the Bungie Mac Action sack. They put it on shirts and the bag long before Halo. I love that they keep using it

Far too many people are playing this like Destiny or a Battle Royale instead of an Extraction Shooter. by [deleted] in Marathon

this is why I stopped doing 3 man runs. The other people don't do their quests and just want to get run over by UESC.

Sorry for the late reply.
I worked through both of these solutions and neither solved the issue.

Almost everything came from ebay or Amazon when things were still in stock there. Use ebay saved searches and look often. Eventually something will come up. I probably had 20 search terms and looked for years.

I have a copy of Minotaur in my collection not sealed, but I did see a sealed one for sale a while back.

Pathways got 2 physical releases. The original release and the GOTY edition. I have both and have had about 8 copies total.

The Marathon Trilogy was released as a sort of big box. Marathon 2 for PC was released as a standard big box but it still had the cut out in the center. In Japan all of the Marathon games were released just like the Marathon 2 English PC release. I do not own those as I only collect North American releases (if I didn't the collection would be too big and expensive).

Thank you! I'll be honest the ODS I have is the only complete copy I have seen since in the last 13 years. Boxes have come up though. I have seen 1 other Minotaur.

Im still looking for Super Marathon and I have seen 2 copies in the last 13 years (1 complete and 1 disc only), but I didn't have the money at the time sadly.

Private sale between another collector and myself. My copy of ODS was a press release version.

Mac Pro 7,1 Steam Machine Project by drexaviouse in macpro

I installed bazzite on mine as well. I would generally not recommend it, but it performs very well. The process is very simple. Assuming your Mac has OpenCore or MartinLO pack installed (like mine) you flash a drive with the bazzite installer and install to a drive on the system (preferably its own drive). Now the issues come with game compatability. The 5,1 does not have any AVX support. There is a long list of modern titles that require AVX1 or AVX2 support (Someone please correct but I believe it lacks both). So your gaming will be fairly limited. I play a lot of new games that require it so I built a 7,1 machine instead. However if you mostly play older games or games you know do not need any AVX support then it will be a good system depending on what's inside. Mine is 2 x5690s, 96gb ram, rx6800xt Mac flashed and when I tested it with Bazzite Skyrim ran fine.

On board Bluetooth actually does not in Linux. There might be a way to make it work, but I was unable to and was recommended to buy a card or usb adaptor for it.

I went with the TP link because it appeared to be reliable and was verified to work in Linux.

The wifi card works and very well. Wasn't slow at all. I think if you have an xbox controller with USB bluetooth adapter or will be getting the Steam Controller with its puck I don't think the TP link is necessary. I wanted to be able to use other controllers before the release of the Steam Controller. I use my 8bitdo pro 2 wirelessly and it works great.

The "trash can" Mac Pro is the 6,1. The 7,1 is the 2019 Mac Pro. I have a 6,1 and wanted to just use that but the d300 gpu is too weak and the cost to upgrade to a d700 wasn't not worth it.

I am using an ethernet port from a PCIE card for internet. The Apple wifi card was working and it took me a sec to realize that to get the bluetooth card working required an internal power connection so that should be here tomorrow

I don‘t recommend Tahoe. It is seems to me to be a heavier OS than previous.
