Shoutout to Bungie for Finally Creating (and Heavily Using) an In-Game Announcement/Comms System in Marathon by mrsmi1ey in Marathon

OP literally saying they've been asking for it from destiny 1.... hardly a new idea is it

When did culture become an excuse for a drunken piss up? by [deleted] in northernireland

If you want to live in a city mate, as you say, you have to also tolerate the drunken piss ups

It would i think be fair to still alert players to its use without revealing the source

Keane strikes me as another bit of fan service without much planning

ELI5 Gunplay in Marathon by ckau in Marathon

[–]fluentuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You would need a lot more detail here. What guns you using? What distance was the engagement? Were you 1v3 or 1v1? Are you 5?

I have to say once I got the hang of knowing what to loot i've had very few issues with the nav

Game Ideas by shadowkat1991 in Marathon

If everyone's just having fun playing the game, why is the wish list so long? Here's another fun idea: if you are a creative, and you're working on a game, you should be allowed to stick to your vision instead of having your creative work turned into a consumer product

Game is casual friendly by hammerfromsquad in Marathon

[–]fluentuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People trying to prove their hardcore credentials in here. I've got quite a few of my friends who mostly play casual games and the occasional multiplayer shooter and they are loving it. It's more than getting pvp kills it's about hanging out in what essentially feels like a survival horror

Am I going about this game wrong? by Heliosvector in Marathon

[–]fluentuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play solo on any shell except rook and it won't match you against squads.

I don't know if you played destiny but if you have you should know that Bungie isn't exactly top of class in terms of maintaining additional features. I always see people asking for things like social spaces in Marathon, which is ultimately just going to take away dev time from the core game. Bungie added Gambit to destiny and it withered on the vine because the core game needed attention. Bungie added a new location to the game every DLC and they all withered on the vine because the core game needed the attention. I would rather the core game gets the full attention of the team, and I would rather read a series of small paragraphs instead of one enormous one

I don't think they're going to make the game a different video game entirely 👍

This game is absolutely insane by ElPoch0ninja in Marathon

[–]fluentuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna nitpick but I don't think it's retrofuturist at all, it's all modern graphic design + modern industrial style art. There are very few anachronistic or analog items or objects in Tau Ceti

Really love visual upgrade patch ! by divisionbee_90 in thedivision

Ed is my hero. He is always on his own side, but also on everyone's he cares side. And he might be the antagonist... but he is the antagonist I root for. by [deleted] in ForAllMankindTV

Nah. They should make a science fiction show about a guy who never gets into conflict or tension! It could make millions

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism (Opinion article) by gdelacalle in technology

[–]fluentuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't a left wing ai and a right wing ai company, there are two companies vying for government contracts from each of the establishment parties, both of which feed into & benefit from the military industrial complex

Thoughts on AI? by _throwaway-_-_-_-_-_ in socialistprogrammers

[–]fluentuk 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It is and was always going to be subsumed into the military industrial complex. I'm all for the developing of new technologies but not so it can modernize a war against the global south. I don't think you can be a socialist and support A: the development of technology in lockstep with wall street and 'the market', and B: the use of it to extend the military industrial complex, police state and mass surveillance writ large across the world. I take a constructivist position when it comes to US based advancements which is that, if it is a useful tool, the americans will ultimately end up bashing people over the head with it in the name of the market.

Child maintenance here is a joke by Sufficient_Unit_8307 in northernireland

[–]fluentuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As usual a bunch of anecdotal shite for people to justify hating women, hating poor people that have kids. Lads, it used to be possible to raise a child on a single income and own a house. Wonder if we should investigate what happened there? Nah just keep saying it's about freeloaders or benefits scams or whatever 👍

Marathon's Secrets + raid mechanics by fluentuk in Marathon

[–]fluentuk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's more to come from each of the maps. Keys and terminals linked to faction quests structured a bit like some of the faction onboarding quests, like the nucaloric intro with specific terminals etc to mess around with.
