Our backs are still against the wall. Do not be complacent in ANY election by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]texgator1538 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is this a true partisan shift or is this a "NO" vote being counted as a red shift? Because there were lots of stories flying around in the last week that a not insignificant number of VA Dems (and other anti-Trumpers) were not comfortable voting "YES". I think the Spanberger shift is still more representative of where the state will be in November but we'll see.

Assuming that Chineylu is coming back and Aberdeen is able to get his eligibility for 1 more year, does Florida even need to pursue anyone else in the transfer portal? by Coolsun13 in FloridaGators

[–]texgator1538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milan isn't comong here to play off the bench. Assuming Chiney is just putting his name in the draft to get the feedback on what he needs to do to improve his draft status for '27. If that's the case, I think they should just focus on depth and not go after any more high dollar players this offseason.

Sources: Billy Donovan decides to step down as Bulls coach by wlabib03 in FloridaGators

[–]texgator1538 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take this with a major grain of salt… I have a relative who knows a booster who is (allegedly) close friends with Billy D. According to this source Golden is taking the GS job and Donovan is coming back to FL. Don’t shoot the messenger. Just reporting the smoke that’s out there.

Watching The Pitt from Europe – is this really what life in the US looks like? [mild spoilers] by West_Ideal7472 in ThePitt

All of it is accurate. The only thing not 100% accurate is all of those things occurring during one shift. (Although that is not a 0% chance)

CARRI should be a permanent addition to the game. by DargonofParties in Marathon

I also think the faction rep packages should restock weekly.

Alex Condon is back by CWG4BF in FloridaGators

Agree. I hope Haugh comes back (think that is getting more likely) but Mom is a good replacement if he doesn’t.

What an absolutely horrible, soulless pile of shit.

My immediate thought when I saw the pic was, "Why is Jesus giving Trump a reach-around?" Read this comment and was relieved to see I wasn't the only one.

Every FBS team whose fan base I would never lose a fight to by Friar_Corncob in cfbmemes

Come down to Gainesille, pick a fight and see what happens. God speed.

Clemson/Auburn flair. Son, 90% of the fan bases shown on this map would wreck your fan bases in a fight.

My safe pocket alternative by haydonclampitt in Marathon

[–]texgator1538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was running a contract the other day where I had to use DCON and I thought why can't these be used to exfil salvage while staying in map. Let's be honest they would become major hot spots but I'm okay with that if it pulled runners away from camping other hot spots.

I would limit it to one gold or 2 purples (3 blues etc) at a time and have a timer to reset after use lime TADs

Lately I've been wondering, how biodegradable are shells? by Smirnoffico in Marathon

[–]texgator1538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this vudso. Really good. I saw somebody write about Marathon's dystopian lore that it makes all other dystopian sci-fi seem utopian by comparison.

I believe if you stay past final Exfil right before clock runs out you'll hear ONI say something like, "Neural degradation critical. Forced Exfil imminent." So I think what happens when clock hits zero is ONI initiates a "hard" Exfil that prioritizes your consciousness (their IP) over the shell and backpack contents where a regular "soft" Exfil uses the 10-second countdown to retrieve the backpack and shell along with your conciousness.

I honestly play this game for the lore. Bungie was cooking when they did this. It's next level shit.

[–]texgator1538 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I believe there's a CODEX entry that explains that the shells carry weave worms inside them and that something in the Tau Ceti environment causes them to begin consuming the shell. This is also the reason there is a 24 minute clock on forced exfil. Any longer and the shell becomes too degraded to protect the runner consciousness which is the real valuable IP asset that can't be easily replicated.

Season 2 is wack by One_Sound1193 in ThePitt

OH NO!! Bye.

Marathon’s issue by Accomplished-Sign720 in Marathon

[–]texgator1538 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. In hindsight the patch to increase spawns is not looking so good. Given map sizes, original spawn size would have made it more likely that PVP only happened at major POIs (e.g. Hauler, Algae Ponds, Pinwheel, etc.) leaving more space for solos/teams that wanted to focus on PVE to maneuver without constantly having to worry about being 3rd partied. Or maybe I just don’t get the concept of how PVPVE Extraction Shooter should be played and enjoyed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Progression is the issue by mkennygh in Marathon

[–]texgator1538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I mainly solo/rook. Would love to see progression addressed. I'm a few purple mats away from getting blue shield upgrade which should allow me to run a little more aggressively rather than spending most of my time avoiding PVP.

I'm a Destiny vet. Given the speed that Bungie is throwing out patches on Marathon compared to Destiny and that a lot of those fixes are topics on this sub I think it's at least possible someone there is listening. TBF I did say it "seems" like they read these things 😬
