@PaulTassi Truly some of the craziest gaming takes I have ever read. Idk how you do this every day man.

I think getting into debates about the finer points of the original 1994 Marathon with people born in the year 2000 is gonna make me call it a day on here

@VivaLaDoctor @the_abduco @dunay_sc No it fucking isn’t jesus christ. Just because the mission has an exit doesn’t make it “extracting.” Picking up guns and ammo in a Doom style shooter is not “looting.” You sound absolutely ridiculous with the stretches you’re making to relate the two. Just stop with this nonsense

@the_abduco @dunay_sc My original point was that the OG games had elements of the extract genre in them and numarathon being an extraction shooter is not devoid from the OG but is in fact a reference and nod to how the original played.

Has Paul actually played the OG trilogy? You drop into a level, explore, loot up, shoot enemies, accomplish objectives, and then exfil to the next level. NuMarathon is not only a spiritual successor but also is directly tied into the lore and gameplay ideas from the OG trilogy.

@MV3JamarLackson @lindseyyok Yeah nobody knew, that’s why Ian Rapaport had an article reporting it was a meniscus repair not a trim all the way back in January. Completely blindsided!

@lindseyyok Correct. Sounds like no one did. Hence why a bunch of teams like the cowboys dropped out once the trade was declined. That's why the ravens did their own due diligence before signing

An unanswered question I have about the Crosby fiasco: If he wasn’t healthy enough to pass a physical, why were they willing to renegotiate the terms of said trade (aka asking price), knowing he would have to pass a physical? I don’t think we’ll ever know what really happened

@shanejhn @bmopreme @Separer It’s literally an intended feature that you’re not supposed to hoard supplies in your vault. That negates the risk part of the risk/reward loop of extraction shooters. Has nothing to do with “QOL”

@bmopreme @Separer Yes.. it’s called QOL…. It happens all the time

So we GOTTA fix the stack sizes in Marathon

@CrazyWeeMonkey @BaneMcBanester @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged Raise your fucking income so you can quit crying about game prices broke boy. Fake ass terminally online “leftist” nonsense. Muting you now

@Blaze_Benjamin @BaneMcBanester @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged raise your standards

@CrazyWeeMonkey @BaneMcBanester @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged So fucking what? Not everyone who buys a battle pass buys skins. Not everyone who buys skins buys the battle pass. Some people buy neither. Literally go play any other fucking game. There are countless games that have no microtransactions. Just stop fucking crying for fuck’s sake

@Blaze_Benjamin @BaneMcBanester @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged it already has a paid battle pass

@CrazyWeeMonkey @BaneMcBanester @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged It’s a live service. Live service games have constant development and upkeep costs. If you got what you wanted, countless studios would close down on top of the already record layoffs of the past several years. YOU don’t care about gaming as a medium, you care about your wallet.

@BaneMcBanester @Blaze_Benjamin @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged None of you care about gaming as a medium.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged A game that literally cost more to buy than Marathon does today mind you.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @SlySize @iloveairbagged “Games didn’t used to do this!!!” Bethesda was selling horse armor for Oblivion when you were 2 years old.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @Pheenee1 @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Raise deez nutz

@Blaze_Benjamin @Pheenee1 @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Raise your standards.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @Pheenee1 @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged So $30 less than typical AAA game pricing. You’re making points against yourself now.

@Pheenee1 @Blaze_Benjamin @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged THE GAME IS $40

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Oh no the 20 something Twitter slacktivist thinks I don’t have class consciousness because I don’t get shocked pikachu face when companies sell things. Expecting entitlement to artists work in the form of skins isn’t very conscious of you now is it?

@Blaze_Benjamin @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged "Welcome to capitalism my guy" If you had even a shred of class consciousness, you'd understand that uncritically defending willful greed from companies does not benefit you. I don't like this economic system either.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Do you cry every time you drive by a billboard on the way to work? Jk it’s giving jobless. If you have to make up hypotheticals to make your point then you don’t have a point. I’d simply close the ad and continue playing the game for no more cost than the initial $40 upfront.

@Blaze_Benjamin @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Are you going to keep defending this when they start advertising paid skins every time you launch the game?

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged No, companies love the people that buy the skins. Because there is a market for it. If there wasn’t, they wouldn’t be doing it. Welcome to capitalism my guy. You’re working yourself into hysterics over how other people want to spend their own money. NOBODY IS MAKING YOU BUY SHIT

@ChrisFigz_ @Blaze_Benjamin @iloveairbagged Companies LOVE the folks like you that defend their microtransactions in paid games for free.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Nobody is stopping you from doing that! Go nuts. You literally never have to buy a single skin and can get all the indie games you want.

@Blaze_Benjamin @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged There's loads of fantastic games from small indie devs I can buy for $15, it's insane to spend that much on a single skin in a PAID game sorry.

@CrazyWeeMonkey @ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged If you pay $40 for the game and don’t buy skins then you’re not “paying more” Literally just don’t buy them

@ChrisFigz_ @iloveairbagged Why are you fine with paying more for less? Raise your standards.

@BowTiedYukon @lynssss3125 youtu.be/AHKiGl02NmU?si…

@lynssss3125 Ass cancer?

Can we all just agree that if it gets to the point where you are shoving a 100mg THC suppository up your ass you have a problem?

@maxcrafterSUPER @Alores15 @gIoryboysin @DiscussingFilm Because a stylized greek helmet is totally the same as wearing modern clothing. You got it bro. Totally solid reasoning there. Muting your dumb ass now.

First look at Benny Safdie as Agamemnon in Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’

@JakeTheAlright Eren Yeager obv

Right after we hear Darius say "we are not alone" in the new Marathon ViDoc this face appears on screen for 4 frames. Who do you think this is?
