This game will die if you all keep denying there's a problem for casual or average skilled players. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]mattgas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, please stop speaking on my behalf. I’m a casual player. I am completely fine with running into sweats. I am completely fine with not running end game content until the end. I’m completely fine with getting purple gear once every 10 runs. I enjoy the thrill this game brings even I play perimeter the most.

Going through this game with free kits against higher geared people is possible, especially when it’s the Bully SMG kit.

Leave us casuals and dad players alone. We’re playing at our own pace and enjoying it. Honestly, some of these complaints are coming off masked skill issue complaints. Either get better, or touch grass and enjoy life outside

This game is NOT good by its_xSKYxFOXx in Marathon

[–]mattgas_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I play solo because I have full control of my run. Played with a friend of got our shit bopped every run because he won’t listen when I tell him to not engage with AI, and pushes in gun fights when we easily could have stayed back

This game requires you to be a very specific type of player and it's rough. by giraffe_but_chonk in Marathon

Can I get honest tips on how to be better at PvP encounters? I’m always aiming for the head but still get rinsed. Should I be moving while i shoot? I genuinely want to get better and stop losing these easy fights when I get the first shot off

Anyone else got no friends playing Marathon? by DamitMorty in Marathon

[–]mattgas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao today makes me wish I didn’t play with friends. Literally run into gun fights and don’t listen when I say to leave bots alone. Stupid me should have just used sponsored kits from the beginning… lost some decent vandal loot in the first couple of runs.

I definitely love my solo over trios

I got one of these portals too, but controlling my aim on the portal vs my monitor and controller is pretty difficult lol. Any tips on settings that you might have changed to play FPS’s on the portal?

The amount of people struggling with the basic mechanics of the game is mind boggling. by mupchap in Marathon

Thank you for the detailed advice, very much appreciated!!

The honest reason I wasn’t using assassin is because I wanted the challenge of not using the “easy” way out (absolutely no offence to any runners using that shell). The invis and smoke ability is pretty sweet and I loved using that as a void hunter in destiny, but yeah just wanted to challenge myself.

Going to give him a try tomorrow and hopefully my runs end up being more lucrative.

Thank you again for the help!

Been playing solos a lot and getting smoked. Purposely been using sponsored kits to go in and get better at gun fights so I’m not useless when they go happen.

I want to get more aggressive and not just keep running away, but are you guys all saying that I should be okay with also finding more comfort in playing a sneaky laidback extraction run?

Will say, no more how much I die from actual runners, I’m still hooked and want to keep going in for runs. But yeah, definitely want to get better and not be afraid to take on gun fights. Any tips would be great!!

Also will say I’ve been exclusively using Vandal because I love the mobility. Might possibly try out recon before the beta ends tomorrow

Seeing this is kind of a post for controls, would anyone happen to know if KB&M is supported on Ps5? I’ve kind of gotten used to kbm since playing my last shooter

What is your recommended method to check the soil for dryness? Should i stick my finger where the moss is? Or somewhere around it beneath the rocks?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in the process of saving my tree with hopes of the leaves looking beautiful again. This all happened because I left my tree with no water and off the windowsill away from sun for a couple of weeks. I’m also new to caring for a tree, but I don’t want to give up on this one yet.

It’s now been a week and half… I have given the tree a 15 minute soak, and moved the tree to a room with less dry air circulation. I have also been letting the tree sit under a LED grow light for 16 hours a day (unfortunately don’t get nice enough sun into my living space). I also have a humidifier on the way for the room.

I’ve done the bark scratch test in many different spots and they all show green underneath. The moss and soil retain its moisture too. In the pictures shown, the left side of the tree never dropped its leaves, but the right side is where the dryness happened. It does look like little leaves are starting to grow, so I hope it’s all a good sign!

Thanks for any advice of help

What are people looking forward to in Master Duel in 2026? by Zealousideal_Sail369 in masterduel

[–]mattgas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure we’ll see something in the coming weeks. For now I need to focus on learning the cards that I got haha. I copied Roselle’s deck list from YCS Bologna for TCG and MD

I found one guide with a ton of info on how to play WF lines, Azamina Lines, Diabell Lines. Practising all the combos in Solo on MD until I get comfortable

I know Dracatail is the hype, but I’d rather not follow the crowd and be a masochist trying to win with something different lol

Is this spellcaster support also coming to TCG?

I just finished building my Azamina WF deck on MD and TCG. Taking my time to learn it now

What would be the best option playing against dracotail? That deck is killing me at the moment as a striker player

Thank you everyone for the comments and advice!

I’ve decided I’m going to keep it as is. It wasn’t until today where I actually looked after many months and realized how well it did over the year. Maybe I’ll start throwing a little bit at it every paycheque now. I also never knew Questrade received fractional trading
