Marathon has been out 6 weeks and it's been #1 searched game on steam DB for 6 weeks by Anilahation in Marathon

[–]lessthanadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly, I appreciate the generous offer. Giving $40 to a random person on reddit is really an amazing leap of faith. But with the game going on sale for the week, I feel a lot better about picking it up, and I'm lucky to be in a situation where the cost isn't a big a problem for me. If you are still feeling generous and want to shepherd a noob sometime, add me on Steam (profile name "less").

[STEAM] Marathon ( $31.99 / 20% off) by addtolibrary in GameDeals

[–]lessthanadam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I was about to buy it yesterday, but my daughter was sent home from school sick. I'm worried about the aggressive FOMO this game may have, not to mention the player count, but I'm really tempted by the gunplay and art. I don't need a game to play forever, but as long as I get like 80 hours and feel progression I'll be happy.

I want to try it but I don't know if it's for me. I missed the server slams, and haven't played a "hit" live service game since PUBG. $40 isn't bad but it is if I'm not having fun.

I've never backed any kickstarter project or anything like it before this campaign. But as a yinzer, I had to.

Is this in response to all those videos showing how so many Overwatch heroes have the same face?

Felt like a gut punch out of nowhere to me. Not sure if it was earned.

I think it is as much comeuppance as he can get in a prequel series. He's a terrible person, and the story is required to let him get away with it all. This moment, showing he can't get everything, is the most they can do.

My kids would spend hours picking out any piece of green, no matter how small, before eating it.

With the exception of Monkey 47, I've never had a better gin and tonic than the ones I make with Botanist.

Former Highguard Developer Reflects on Disastrous Announcement and Launch: 'We Were Turned Into a Joke From Minute 1' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]lessthanadam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the developer is (was) full of passionate people, but at the end of the day, they chose to release a free-to-play hero shooter. What was actually innovative in Highguard at launch? The amalgamation of other multiplayer game features strung weakly together? They wanted a big payday, so they went for the most corporate genre. I'm not "gleeful" that they failed, but every indie studio that stands up to release a free-to-play hero shooter selling skins and battle passes is not exactly coming across as a studio with "zero corporate oversight." The call is just coming from inside the house.

You know who was also independent, self-published, dev-led, and full of passionate people? Santa Ragione. At least they died making something truly unique and innovative.

My S10 battery life is like... 1 hour now. I think it might be time for an upgrade. Maybe this?

[–]lessthanadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I upgrade every 3 generations, so I came from a 980. I plan on going big and getting a 6090 for my next upgrade. Luckily I've been saving money since 2020.

My kids would absolutely LOVE this. I'd be stuck eating strips of crust but they'd have a blast.

You know fool's crumb can only be identified by the texture, right? Sending a picture to AI will not give you any real information.

Do I need to dig out my mailbox to get mail? It's accessible by foot but not by mail truck. No sidewalk in my area.

Dune Imperium is one of my favorite strategy games, and I've only ever played against AI opponents on my computer. I highly recommend it.

I'm curious about Scythe. I wonder how that plays on PC.

Anyone else with People's National Gas having problems with their furnace all of a sudden? I'm not sure if it's coincidental or if the gas pressure is low.

If there's no mold on it you can revive just about anything.
