I made a FREE and NO AD companion website/bot for Marathon -- nucaloric.ai For now, it posts bungie communications in your discord server, with optional role pings. Soon, once there's a Marathon API, it'll do much more!

@Azel_OhWell @AngryJoeShow Idk Crimson Desert is kinda ass on PC, but maybe they can fix it. Controls/UI are god awful, like completely just unusable and annoying.

@AngryJoeShow The world has moved on. Marathon is old news. It’s all about Crimson Desert. Maybe if you spent less time crashing out over politics and how Asmongold runs the company you bought a PC from, you wouldn’t always be so damn behind 😆

Rendering the Marathon Angry Review!

📢Introducing the Marathon Community Creator Club!📢 Marathon's Creator Program has a slow rollout, with many creators getting denied. That being said, there isn't really a place for creators to talk, collaborate, and meet other Marathon Creators! THIS IS IN NO WAY RELATED OR CONNECTED TO BUNGIE OR THE MARATHON GAME IN ANY WAY. Simply a community run creator club for people to meet new creators! ‼️That being said, there are a few points to take note of:‼️ - This is a heavily gatekept community, and I mean that as we have an application system to filter through people before we let them in. - THERE ARE ONLY 2 REQUIREMENTS 1. Have to have created Marathon specific content in the last 90 days (Tiktoks, YT videos, Edits, etc.) 2. Pass a vibe check (obvious just don't be racist or homophobic or anything like that. WE DO CHECK) THERE IS NO FOLLOWER OR SUBSCRIBER THRESHOLD YOU NEED TO MEET I'll be putting the link in a reply below, feel free to put in an application, and you should be accepted fairly quickly to meet and hang out with other fellow content creators! (please be patient if there is a large number of applicants, it will take time to go through) Also this server is actively still being built and will have things change, so please be mindful of that <3 SEE YOU TAU CETI SIDE RUNNERS #marathon

@RedElevenYT @PaulTassi Ah nevermind you’re just lying, found this like 2 scrolls deep after some anti-semitism and nick fuentes reposts

@RedElevenYT @PaulTassi Not only are they still posting, they literally made a website called “flopathon” to cheer on failure. Idk how you don’t see this everywhere

wow looks like Marathon's playercount is ███████ a ████ from last week's ███████ and it should settle at ███████ if it wants to be ███████

Solo runs and coffee. Just another Saturday morning on New Cascadia. 🤘🏻

Ok solo outpost is built differently, what is @MarathonTheGame cooking for cryo archive??

@noah_bloomed @TauCetiGG Why, the space should be filled with gear, not consumables

@TauCetiGG again looks like a over correction. upping some of these by 10x is crazy.

‼️NEW: Marathon Vault update is coming next week to help free up more storage space. Stack sizes for Consumables, Ammo, Salvage, and Grenades will be increased, and new Vault filters for Keys and Sponsored Kits are also being added.

@SpriggyNeruda @AirwingMarine Thank you for the source. So we know about a year out from release there was just under 300. Another key factor is why don't know how long they were at 300 (or if they ramped up after the delay). It's just truly not something anyone can meaningfully even ballpark estimate, imo

@AustinMelms @AirwingMarine Salary includes more than base pay, (benefits and overhead), but as you say, there can be other types of positions and salaries and sites to take from. That's why it's an estimate. Joe stated 300 employees, more info here: comicbook.com/gaming/news/ma…

Is there any reliable information on what Marathon actually cost to develop? Every single number I've seen so far is sourced from some dumb ass content creator who pulled it out of their ass. The $250 million estimate isn't even a good one. The more I dig, the less clear it is.

@SpriggyNeruda @AirwingMarine But, we don't know how many developers, and taking the average salary (which isn't 175k for a generic software engineer, it's 130k) is flawed because you don't know how many are software vs audio vs art vs testing etc, and those all WILDLY vary in average salary.

@AirwingMarine It's basically estimates based off things we kind of have numbers on, like 300 devs, 5-6 years of development, location (Seattle), avg. salaries. 300 devs × 5 years × ~$175K avg. = ~$262M (rounded down to $250M).

@Sunrise202086 @ZacksJerryRig Idk but we're seeing the price hikes either way

@ZacksJerryRig Arent we a net exporter?

buckle up for 10 dollar gasoline.

@PaulTassi I think it could be good for competitive fps gamers, but a lot of the audience (even in this clip) is more for laughs with good gameplay, than for just good gameplay. eg, a good shroud game, a bad peanut game (given their existing audience preferences)

To go back to glaze mode, I really do think Marathon could be a big streamer game if anyone (or their viewers) gave it a chance. Good for squads, prox chat, later maps get challenging, complex and more interesting, buildcrafting is an actual thing, new chars added, etc. But alas

@Kungfujo23 @Gothalion

@Gothalion @AustinMelms What is wrong with the public eye seeing these statistic to get a better understanding? Does it have to be just for developers eyes? That makes no sense to me as we already know that so many developers out here will abuse these metrics to their advantage?

@Blazingeagle123 @Gothalion "keep devs honest for their flops" hey if a game "flops" they're already being punished because they just lost a shit ton of money, they don't need toxic discourse around it from internet chuds

@Gothalion Completely terrible take here. Knowing the numbers allows us to keep devs honest for their flops

@Kungfujo23 @Gothalion Statistics are useful in good faith, and used to push narratives when used in bad faith. Then those bad faith narratives are accepted as fact, because of the statistics being included, as people largely lack critical thinking.

@Gothalion Going to disagree with you here. Statistics are always useful when it comes to metrics on a game.

@Saint_bph I made a site to show all these argued about stats in one place, for easy screenshotting (ad free) nucaloric.ai/playerbase

it just gets to a point where its pathetic 😹😹😹

I just realized, I should add twitch numbers to this

@Ryukosho1209 @PaulTassi No problem! Lots of people are spinning this as an unfinished game, just wanted to clear it up.

@AustinMelms @PaulTassi 📝 I see. Interesting context thank you for the info!

They are absolutely doing this to avoid another Destiny situation where it had a bunch of scored reviews in before Vault of Glass, its best piece of content, actually dropped. But as they say, this is not a demand or embargo mandate

@Ryukosho1209 @PaulTassi Bungie has consistently done this, on purpose, since D1 launch. It is time-gated to allow people to gear up and prepare, and they've never NOT done it this way in the last 12 years of making games with "endgames".

@PaulTassi .....they launched it without the endgame? Huh???

@hasanthehun Since it's a uni-party system, if those 4 dems voted yes those 2 repubs would have then voted no. Anything BUT accountability in this congress

@sonicbarber @Cozmo23 @MarathonTheGame TRUST ALL ROOKS

Runner Safety tips from the @MarathonTheGame Audio team: 1. Movement speed increases your audible footprint. 2. Engagements make noise and draw attention. 3. If you can hear it, chances are someone else can too. And whatever you do... don't trust a Rook.
