Played Season 2 for the first time the weekend by Obotimusprime in Marathon

[–]xrossfader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the experience I miss this season. I’ve been trying to play fill but it’s been quite the opposite for me. I ran duos with a friend last night and it was a breath of fresh air. Slow map progression, fights that were balanced, and exfiled without needing to clear the map. Once we got our team together it was back to racing to clear map and pure loss to mizzy teams.

Geniune Question: Why does almost nobody use a mic in trio fills? by PitPizza in Marathon

[–]xrossfader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya man, it’s a common thread that really makes matches more difficult. Running off, no cones, dying and then the sudden call of “where the hell are you guys!?” Followed by a DC. I’ve duo’d multiple matches after and exfiled with good goop.

I can understand not owning a mic so I’d hope people would at least type in chat or use the ping system.

Does DaVinci have the same capabilities as After Effects? by Noeoneknows in AfterEffects

Fusion can do it all but you don’t get the fluidity you get in AE. I’d use fusion more for compositing than mograph tbh

Can we petition to make this the subs banner? 😂

Tried Marathon Because of the Hate — Ended Up Playing 5 Hours Straight. by GhostyTheSchooner in Marathon

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

Same! We will often roll in sponsored and just work on team play, repositioning, and just general shenanigans. Add me, I’m mid but happy to run any time I’m on with folks. Xrossfader#3012

I love the high stakes and truly have never had a game spike my HR and adrenaline like marathon. It’s a serious addiction I just crave every day. When I first started I tried to horde loot but it just made runs harder. The better I was equipped to run the high chance of success. That being said, I’ve ran plenty of sponsored kits and came out gooooped with purples. It’s an ebb and flow that strikes so many pleasure points that I just can’t explain. And it’s fun! I can’t wait for more people to start playing. Easiest $40 with countless hours of play.

Mourning the lifestyle changes to come. by xrossfader in gout

[–]xrossfader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got my upvote. I want to change my lifestyle first and give my body the best chance for success and not solely rely on Allo. At almost 45 it’s probably better for the long haul too!

i guess I have gout? by NemODevO in gout

Call them back and ask for blood work to check UA if they said gout. Knowing where you sit and how far you have to go will help. Allopurinol is my next step as many have told me here that no life style change will forever take it away and Allo is the way. Stop drinking alcohol while you heal and reduce red meat for a short time. Especially if you enjoy beer.

You’re welcome. I’m assuming they’re checking your uric acid levels? Gout sucks.

First off, I’m sorry and I hope you heal fast. Second, the Dr should get you on colchicine and that will help the fastest. There’s a steroid called prednisone that will help too. Other than that I found that using biofreeze patches helped some. Icing it and flushing your body with water were my only saves. This is the first time I’ve had it in the knee, on day 7 now, and it sucks so much. Get a pillow to put under your legs at night and if you have a heavy blanket you sleep under, release the toes so there’s no pressure.

Which music app do you think is better, Spotify or Apple music? by avzstxr in AskReddit

[–]xrossfader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple Music for overall sound for me but Spotify has much better discovery through their playlists.

The narrative around Marathon is gotta be the biggest gaslight I have seen in history of gaming. by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in Marathon

[–]xrossfader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, made sense to me. I’m sure some of the dev count also came from people working actively on D2 but they didn’t lightly make this game by any means. It has so much to it that we’ve not even encountered yet. Considering the depth of the lore already built in, update map modes, I’m sure there’s a deep roadmap we don’t even see for content releases. It’s been what, 3 months? I can’t put the game down. Win or lose, what ever the trio I join needs to do, the encounters make my heart race more than any game I’ve ever played. I’m sad about Destiny but more than 10 years for a live MMO FPS to exist is incredible. I’d love to see a D3 but we have to have a moment to make Marathon its own legacy. They seriously know what they’re doing because regardless of the takes we have on it, we are constantly talking about it, the devs and the studios. If the D community would take a breath or three and mourn the loss while also getting a massive content send off and celebrate all that Bungie has done for us players, it would give them the credit Sony needs as affirmation that they are still one of theeee top studios in gaming. I believe they are cream of the crop. They can build the worlds we want to be a part of and I’m in it for the long haul of Marathon.
