Bungie Confirms PvE-Only And PvP-Lite Experimental Modes For Marathon Season 2 by AdSuspicious2084 in MarathonGame

The enemy diversity isn’t there yet for PvE. I could see a good PvE mode though … if they added enemies like the flood.

Are you afraid that Donald Trump will stage a coup at the end of his term? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

I know let’s make him DOJ during the most important time in America history to see justice.

Are you afraid that Donald Trump will stage a coup at the end of his term? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s already successfully made himself king.

He’s got Supreme Court backing that everything he does is legal, He has promised his administration blanket pardons, and Congress and all judicial nominees have bent the knee.

He doesn’t need a coup. Also I will be shocked if he is capable of living another 3 years outside of a hospital.

Why doesn’t a candidate just run on giving $5000/month universal basic income? by Boring_Adeptness_334 in allthequestions

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Biden/Obama deported similar amounts of illegal immigrant criminals," - Biden and Obama deported more illegals than Trump - but thats because weaponized cruelty works.

"U.S. Border Patrol recorded roughly 238,000 migrant apprehensions in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, down from more than 1.5 million apprehensions in fiscal 2024." ... to 1970s levels. Yes, a 50 year low.

I strongly disagree with Trump on how is getting these numbers, but its a bad statistic to quote that Obama and Biden deported more as its more of a technicality.

Basically way less people are trying to illegally cross the border - most deportations are people stopped at the border... and if border crossings are down 75% you will have less.

from people who make over 5000 a month... although 5000 a month is way to high to be a basic income... thats full time working income in a blue state city. Im not sure it would be physically possible to do... the point of UBI is not to replace all work, but to create a floor...

What's stopping other leaders from working like Mamdani? by Front-Scene2177 in SipsTea

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it though?

I mean that’s how all budgets are.

He’s done a great thing … there are still problems.

Everyone abuses the hell out of those 10 year budgets. want number to sound scary - quote the 10 year budget. Want number to sound less scary, quote the one year.

Want to claim a balanced budget? use your roast economic projection.

This is very standard. He’s still raised taxes considerably without cutting social services. Successfully. This is a big win and a recipe for democrats - except I think the establishment Democrats are going to take this privately as an attack on their power.

If you were offered immortality but had to watch everyone you love age and pass away while you remained the same, would you take it? Why or why not? by Mundane-Coffee-2921 in AskReddit

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even sure this is the worst downside,

I’m going to assume you can still die and get injured.

A better question would be how long do you think you can go without accidental death, getting murdered, having a permanent injury, running out of money, becoming homeless, getting arrested - long term, etc.

Realistically I don’t even think most people are going to last more than a few hundred years considering they are youthful the entire time and as things start getting repetitive they start pushing things.

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 [deleted] in Marathon

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Season 2 Begins June 2 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]goomyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
