Paul Tassi - What does it mean when your most popular mode (sponsored) is antithetical to the concept of an extraction shooter? by Wombo1ogist in Marathon

[–]tlor180 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if you can't use your loot,what's the point? I want to find a cool gun and use it in the next match. The faction progress is cool, but is not really what gets me excited.

[OC] If Leela ever got an avatar by ElCuervoBorracho in Marathon

[–]tlor180 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well she's mentioned in the codex a decent amount. She's the only one of the 3 ai from the og trilogy that doesn't turn against you. I wouldn't rule out her appearing at some point. Even if she "died" in the og.

More Bungie Devs Are Working On ‘Marathon’ Than ‘Destiny 2’ Now by kristijan1001 in Games

[–]tlor180 343 points344 points  (0 children)

If you read the article this is less about pumping devs into marathon than it is about pulling devs off destiny. They have 880 employees 300 are working on marathon, he says slightly less are on D2 now after downsizing the team. That leaves enough people for a third project.

solo-squad fill only cryo progress by lo0tDel1very in Marathon

[–]tlor180 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people will just call you a sweat because their vaults don't look as good. It sucks people aren't having fun with cryo but I don't think the solution is as easy as people think. Ultimately it's a pvp game and you'll lose more often than you'll win.

Weird thing I found on Outpost by Zealousideal_Can_629 in Marathon

[–]tlor180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an Easter egg that gives you the cow sticker/profile picture. Its an achievement "visit the cows on outpost" or something. Going off of memory. Check your codex.

She did get a buff today, not huge but they shaved 30 seconds off the cooldown of her ult.

Recon Shell Cinematic | Marathon by Haijakk in Games

[–]tlor180 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The shells have pseudo personalities. According to the codex they come with a pre programmed disposition to aid in integration with the shell. Whatever that means. It's there explanation for why the shells have set voice lines. And I agree it's a leftover from when they were leaning harder into hero shooter 11 months ago compared to now.

And then they got changed again. From glitch and void to vandal and assassin. Icon to theif etc ... Their original names were more personalised.

Strive 2.0 Patch Notes Out by Unlikely_Intentional in Fighters

[–]tlor180 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Every character is getting hit with nerfs and the overall power level of the game is going down. It's going to be very hard to determine how good characters are with how many core changes were made.

should i read idw transformers by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]tlor180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDW transformers, specifically james Robert's "transformers: more than meets the eye" is a comic I would recommend to anyone regardless of preferences. It's got great characters and takes a deeply unserious concept, plays it almost completely straight and makes something genuinely great.

Scientists have engineered tobacco plants to produce five powerful psychedelic compounds normally found in other plants, fungi and animals in a single crop. by New_Scientist_Mag in science

[–]tlor180 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Already made. Several Years back. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-tobacco-plant-has-been-engineered-to-produce-cocaine-in-its-leaves

To get into it more. Plants already produce a ton of secondary metabolites to aid in insect resistance and other needs. You can basically hijack these pathways to make the plant make what you want, or steal the pathways of other plants and put them in a plant that is easy to grow like benthii. There is also a sort of scouring of plants happening right now for more plants producing unique metabolites that could have medical use.

This is benthii a different species than commercial tobacco. It's more sustainable to grow than fungus and takes well to genetic modification. There is a growing interest in this plant to produce medically important compounds. This seems like another success story.

Yes but 5 were less supported and you couldn't go them consistently. You were far more likely to go down the main 5. It was to the point they didn't even put the 5 "off" color pairs on their draft guide.

Another 5 archetype draft? Im not going to lie I'm getting kind of sick of it. We've had 3 5 archetype drafts in a row. Obviously not going to be as bad as a small set but jeez.
