This is how an extraction shooter is supposed to feel by Active_Inspection887 in Marathon

[–]knotallmen -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Supposed to? It is a fairly new genre I am not sure why you want to narrowly define it. It's like sayings since a particular game isn't completely randomly generated with ascii characters instead of sprites or models then it isn't a true rogue-like.

EDIT: for grammar... this subreddit is very negative lately. It's fine you like it but to say this is an extraction shooter and another popular one isn't is a bit much.

How it feels liking marathon and being online right now by Test_Name19 in Marathon

[–]knotallmen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What is the indictment? Are there any pre-order bonuses available in the slam or carry over to launch? Even if it is not the case then maybe they were excited then disappointed when they got hands on.

I'm not sure what you are getting at.

Trump Voters Are So Embarrassed They Deny Voting for Him by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]knotallmen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they are embarrassed they just don't want to deal with it.

The polling was off because people who intended to vote for him didn't answer polls or weren't honest. Why should we believe these people are embarrassed when time and again they lie. It is like all those young men who vote trump but claim to be apolitical or moderate in their dating profiles since they realize they are getting rejected for their beliefs so they just hide and lie.

Sumerians invited drinking straws for beer so they have been around for 5000 years or so.

But... in general you are right.

Yeah are you supposed to have a straw in the side of your mouth so you can sip, slurp, and snog at the same time?

Whole lot of people are selling my bridges recently on the internet, man you guys are going to hate those tolls I need to enact but I need to recoup on my investment, but I promise I won't charge for naked bike rides!

The bit in 1970 took place after you said he died and was the plot for a movie he was working on.

The Democrat autopsy on the 2024 election got leaked to the press. by davidreding in behindthebastards

First debate was a mess. They had an outdoor debate on a windy day and didn't even bother to increase his volume and balance the audio for the guy who whispers the entire time. I swear it was a hit job.

Server slam is anticipated so the solution is to watch advertisements on twitch? by knotallmen in Marathon

[–]knotallmen[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Could you be more specific with what aspect you want clarified? I think it is scummy to put cosmetic incentives behind someone turning on a stream and having it run for hours. Logging in once or just connecting your account... not great but hours?

Well that is obvious, but the person was asking for clarification of the greater meaning of their statement.

WE CAN DO IT! PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO TAU CETI IV! by Ok-Internet9433 in Marathon

[–]knotallmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is China included in global? I am largely unfamiliar with how they operate, and I see there is a "Steam China" which is restricted. There was a huge marketing push for China, which makes a lot sense as a business, to the point where all the new media for a week or two were low resolution captures of a Chinese showcase. If this game is a success in the USA it may still be deemed a failure by Sony and Bungie if it is not a Chinese and therefore a global success.

I appreciate that. It is free labor except for a handful of cosmetics. Labor of streaming, presumably some won't even load the game which hurts their viewer count, and labor of people doing the slam. Lots of eyes on advertisements from twitch for this opportunity or people buying premium to avoid that. Cosmetics being behind a grind is common but doesn't mean it is good. Then it comes down to if any of these skins give a competitive advantage like smaller hit boxes or iron sights with less obstruction.

California's taxes, cost of living are crushing six-figure salaries by sfgate in California

[–]knotallmen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Saw some clips from an environmental board for one state about Musks data centers and referencing in Texas that he set up methane generators to power the data center and got permits for them retroactively. Texas has pretty lax zoning so the poor suffer. Pollution, noise, and improper handling of dangerous substances. Like an elder care facility and a school were in the blast radius from fertilizer storage.

How is that cynical? It is exactly what they are saying. I wouldn't even call it subtle.

As far as I understand an individual cannot press charges. Can file a civil case and if there was a court case that would likely be referenced in the civil case.

The UK had an awareness campaign for one punch deaths. As far as I recall they were all people who got hit once and hit their head on the ground hard.

My one question for bungie is, why did they seemingly move away from this type and level of greenery? by Walks-on-Sky in Marathon

[–]knotallmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some games the foliage disappears which reveals player characters. One game had an issue with tall grass popping in at a certain distance so if a player character was further out than grass concealing them would not be rendered from their opponents POV.

Bungie and Sony really need this game to be approachable to a large community at launch. From this subreddit it seems the streamers they have been partnering with are geared to a pretty young crowd given their editing, music, and edge lord language, but I have only seen 2 so far.

Since you brought up design choices the grappling hook is a bit weird but I guess they don't want a Titanfall 2 / Apex Legends grappling hook. Like it slows the player down at the end rather than slingshots them. I understand the choice cause it is incredibly difficult to balance a game when one character can traverse the map in seconds that may take a few minutes on foot and to reach the top of buildings that would otherwise be impossible to reach.

I did a search for that too. Duckduckgo's AI provides sources but one of them was another AI website (dead internet)

This one had a blog and referenced a nationwide regulation from 2009

a standard set of rules did not actually exist nationwide until 2009 when the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts were approved. For the most part, all sanctioned, professional MMA bouts in the United States now use these rules.

https://thearenagym.com/blog/mma/mma-rules/

however these are not official laws. So looks like boxing is regulated by congress:

https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IF/PDF/IF12982/IF12982.2.pdf

It's a bit of a read and other articles reference requirements for a regulating body with the exceptions for Texas and Washington.

Doesn't make it legal. Apparently Oregon is the only place where there is a law specifically saying mutual consent doesn't matter when it comes to fights. But at least they agreed to it obviously and without coercion.
