TLDR; lately i really feel like i haven't been respecting myself enough, and that has to change, starting with how i let others treat me. moving forward, im just gonna be a lot more blunt with people. if i set a boundary and you cross it, im just gonna call you out on the spot. i have always been the people pleaser and have tried my best to be on everyone's good side, but i haven't been on my own side at all this entire time. something i've learned is that respect is something that should go both ways. i'm more than happy to respect others' boundaries regardless of what that boundary is about, that hasn't changed. even when it comes to touchy subjects such as politics, i'm happy to have a discussion about things, or even to just agree to disagree. i'm a firm believer that our beliefs are not the sole factor that defines us. but i need to get that same respect back. lately some of the people in my life, both in and outside of the gaming space, have lessened their respect on my boundaries. that has to stop. whether i'm at work, at an event, or online, my boundaries should be respected. gonna go ahead and set one now: SA jokes are never welcome around me. i have had too many situations involving myself and my friends falling victim to instances of SA for me to be comfortable with it any longer. no use of the word r***, no anti-consent behavior, or anything of the like. if this bothers you or you don't like it, block me now and save both of us time. to close, i want to clarify that this post was not brought on by any one particular issue or instance. small things happening here and there built up until i had the realization that i was the one allowing the disrespect to happen. i hold no resentment to any small transgressions that happened before this post, as it wouldn't be fair for me to expect people in my life to know my boundaries when i did a subpar job of communicating them. moving forward, if you fail to show that you can respect the boundaries of myself and those around me, you no longer have a place in my life. plain and simple. i apologize for the lack of proofreading on this post, but i wanted it to come from the heart. thank you to those of you who took the time to read this, and for those of you who scrolled past, sorry if future me standing up for myself comes as a shock, but this is the kind of person i want to be. take it or leave it. anyways here's a cool picture of a shiny darkrai i just caught on my physical copy of pearl 😎

Today is World Tattoo Day.

Alright everyone we're going a bit rogue here. We have a bit of an experimental feature that's in development we want to test and we'd love for you to help. As of Wednesday morning 3/18 at 10am PT, we'll be enabling a limited time duos queue on Perimeter only to test how the game plays with crews of 2 at a wider scale. Important things to note: -- It will be on Perimeter only for now. -- The test will last about 2 weeks (but we might cut it off early or elongate it depending on what's going on). -- You can only enter duos with a premade group of you and another friend. (no matchmaking solo into duos). -- You will be matched with other duos only. -- You can select "Perimeter - Duo" from the zone select screen to access it. (not the final intended ux flow right now) -- Some things will be a bit jank. Just a note: this is a bit of an experimental feature so we expect to learn some things along the way and make changes to future versions of this. This likely won't be the final implementation of how it would look and flow in the game, but for now it was easiest way for us to get it to you all to help us test. We're excited to run this experiment with you all. Pending what we learn, we're hoping to expand duos as a queue in the future and we wanted to take this first step sooner than later so we could understand how it affects our game better before investing a lot more time in fleshing out the feature. Additionally, this is unlikely to be the last experiment we run, so look forward to more as we continue to evolve Marathon. FOR SCIENCE!
