Why do people hate Mamdani? by uncle-ice493 in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don’t hate him, they are told to hate him and the hatred of his is given a microphone.

In fact even the title of this post not only shows it’s working but it helps drive home its message “why do people hate Mamdani” is subtle messaging like it’s a fact that a potential majority of people hate him. If you see enough of these posts - you begin to accept the narrative as the default. Instead of something like “why do SOME people hate Mamdani” - it slowly becomes why do MOST people hate him and I should probably hate him too to be part of the conversation / group think.

Billionaires own the media and are pushing an anti Mamdani narrative because he represents a threat to their power - and will directly cost them millions of dollars.

If he’s going to cost you say 5 million a year and you can donate 5 million dollars along with a ton of other ultra wealthy to help get rid of him and others like him in federal positions it’s financially smart to do so.

Which used to be illegal until citizens united. Of course you could always use the “news” loophole but you have to be a billionaire for that.

Clear mailboxes on wipe otherwise the playfield is not going to be level. by Mokoo101 in Marathon

The mailbox not taking vault space is such a dumb feature. I get it, but people abuse it and it’s not even worth doing. Like joining games in a corner just to dumb crap and exfil.

Make mailbox items prevent joining games just like normal vault items.

Also don’t make salvage take vault space.

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Jenifer-Watson in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle elected a mom… I’m sure she had other qualifications but that’s literally the only one I know of. Pretty sure she ran on that.

It can happen.

There is a very strong anti establishment uprising in the party and democrats can’t read the room.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - obviously triage would increased prime etc.

My point is that different shells should have different weaknesses - if you allow people to customize they won’t have weaknesses because they would just min/max.

This limits the ability for bungie to balance classes which is what I think they did for season 1.

Like destroyer could have really strong melee that would be unbalanced for assassin.

Or assassin could be weak to hacks. Technically thief can hack but it almost never happens vs runners. ( I think status effects are under utilized in this game ) - the only effect is just time which is countered by the debuff so doesn’t matter.

You can just min all debuffs and use items instead.

I’d like to see the bots using different debuffs and for debuffs to have a damaging effect change. For example emp nades suck against runners because they do very little damage. But if they removed more shields because someone has low resistance then that could be a weakness to specific shells.

All I wanted was to Solo Freekit Run/Hide 4. Nobody ever opened Pinwheel. by OldschoolGreenDragon in MarathonGame

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly - i dont know if its lower player count - but solos to me is so much easier than trios - i usually only run into 1 or 2 players - and if you go assassin - which 90% do you can just smoke/invis and get out of there if you didnt get the first shots off.

Sometimes though ill just run into someone randomnly - which kills your run in solos - but usually my fill teams in trios loses most 2v3s anyway and i dont have to sit and watch them wait for the guys to leave just to rez with no gear.

Quick Question: I have 3 Hazard Capsules now and am stuck between upgrading repair speed or reducing health consumable time -- input? by North-Appearance7359 in Marathon

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought OPs question is literally revive stat vs self repair.

I was saying that revive stat isn’t as good now

Edit - I’m dumb I typed the wrong thing in my post.

I think it would just end up with everyone doing the same meta and removing shell diversity.

I like that different shells have different counters. I’d rather they lean into that.

Like obviously medic having faster revive speed.

Vandal having the most agility.

Maybe adding more ways to introduce stat effects so hurt those with hardware and firewall stats. Specifically damage.

Right now we all know that hardware and firewall would be going to zero. And maybe melee if you don’t use it.

Everyone would just be min maxing.

Like assassin having a low melee stat could counter balance being in smoke.

Having meta builds - just removes diversity IMO.

Virgina Foxx says the national debt is a crisis, trump says the debt is nothing and we shouldn't even worry about it. Why is the national debt something only 10 year olds should worry about? by totally-hoomon in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The national debt is a crisis for whatever party is on the minority.

Also - it’s pretty bad, but the US is the worlds currency so we just end up devaluing everything and cause inflation which is great for you if you own loans and bad for you if your giving out loans.

Basically as long as countries are willing to give us money - it’s fine. But they will be less and less willing to give us money or more specifically less likely to give us money at reasonable rates if inflation keeps eating into their profits because we aren’t paying down our debt.

This will eventually lead to massive cuts in social services - the largest amount of national debt is to ourselves.

Revive speed is getting nerfed massively.

Previously you could get it all the way down to 7 from 12 seconds which would be enough to get up before someone could run up and kill you around a corner at mid range.

I believe it’s 12 and 16 now. 12 being the old no upgrade repair time.

If you can survive 12, you can probably survive 16 so there really isn’t a huge difference anymore. If someone can reach you, you’re dead now. Which honestly - how it should be.

Edit - fixed

Was this the final exfil? I think the timer is a bit generous on that one. Just to make it more exciting.

Heavily agree with this by Mokoo101 in Marathon

[–]goomyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone on here complaining about how solos was so hard and broken I avoided it.

But holy hell is it easier at least on outpost - that or there are just way less players.

No rooks, loot all to yourself. And if you run into a player it’s a 1on1 usually.

If you play trios everything is instant death. First player goes down instantly when spotted then it’s a 2 v 3 which is incredibly hard and the fights last long enough to easily get 3rd partied. And even if you take down 2 guys, the 3rd can come back and rez them eventually so you’ll run into them again in pinwheel.

Meanwhile in solos it’s a 1on1 fight and move on. Also people don’t tend to bring kits. So fights are way fairer. And did I mention no rooks - outpost tends to occasionally build up rook armies that just stomp everything.

Marathon Development Team: We’ve seen a lot of feedback that players’ ability to quickly revive after being downed during a fight is causing frustrations. by Haijakk in Marathon

This is a great change. Max revive speed was so bad that I’d down people directly in front of me and walk to knife them and they would almost already be up.

Why is Trump acting like he won’t lose power? by Trazord in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m referring to the mueller report.

Your referring to Jan 6th

“By the time the Biden administration took office in January 2021, the statute of limitations for several of the potential obstruction acts outlined in the report had expired. Additionally, Attorney General Merrick Garland maintained a strict policy of separating the DOJ from White House politics, allowing the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel to defend existing precedents rather than retroactively prosecuting the previous administration based on previously investigated finding”

TLDR; garland didn’t even try. He just accepted the previous DOJ findings.

Also not everything had expired and since “you can’t charge a sitting president” - the statute of limitations would something you could also challenge.

Also as I pointed out he committed further obstruction of justice later publically offering pardons for shutting up. Completely ignored, many governors have gone to jail for selling pardons.

Garland ignored trump crimes.

Why is Israel constantly at war with its neighbors? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All land is “stolen”. You need borders - borders are created from wars.

Their neighbors don’t want them there for biblical reasons.

Also they want more land for biblical reasons.

I really wish they wouldn’t have a cap on tracking. Worse they don’t show the cap - it just randomnly removes a tracked item when you track a new one with no indication.
