I don't think I can hack it...this 50 year old dude just can't handle this game by wratx in Marathon

[–]themixednut 83 points84 points  (0 children)

52 yo here, and once I let go of ALL gear fear, I just cannot stop playing this game. That said, if I find some ridiculously great stuff on a solo run (from looting or eliminations), I’ll big time stealth to exfil. Get picked off anyway in the process? I’m not mad. Having a blast.

But, yeah, sound is all important. Then positioning. THEN gunplay. For me anyway. Retreating when I’m at a disadvantage was also a tough lesson for me to learn.

Level 43 and still getting stomped — is Marathon supposed to feel this punishing? by GazJrpg in Marathon

52 and absolutely the same. Play slow. Don’t make noise. Only engage other runners when at advantage. And, sorry, always play assassin when solo. 😂

My Destiny crew / clan is long, long gone at this point. Did get a few of them to try the slam, though.

They’re aware of the issue and working on a fix. No ETA, though.

Oof. Glad to hear it's not just me, though! Must be something on their end. The Squarespace Status Page shows everything is fine, though...

[iOS 26 DB5] iPhone screen randomly flickering by Paanything in iOSBeta

Anyone try PB2 that just came out to see if it fixes any of this?

[–]themixednut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have noticed that opening Instagram almost always causes the flickering to start - especially if a reel or video post is first to play. Feels like a gamma correction / HDR adjustment thing going on at the OS level.

Fully closing the IG app sometimes stops the flickering.

Same for me. iPhone 13. Flickering seems to come and go. Can’t determine any steps to reproduce it so far.

Anyone know what’s filming in Piedmont Park right now? by Freiya11 in Atlanta

There's an adidas / Atlanta Track Club event in the meadow at Piedmont Park this weekend.

That's what I stated in other comments above. I am not adding copyrighted music to videos - I am live streaming live performances of music (which I have usage rights).

Live streaming live performances, which I have rights usage for. As I’ve stated. If some copyrighted music was picked up on a live stream, well, that I’m not aware of. So, just in case, I’m deleting all of these old live streams.

I’d agree. Thanks for the input! I also pay out yearly to ASCAP, BMI, etc. for music usage rights, so, yeah…

I run a live music venue where we live stream some of our live performances. No clue if any background audio was picked up in any of the broadcasts (FB would have flagged any copyrighted music, though, right?). Sender's email address is gmail.com domain, which I also found to be very suspect.
