@DestinyTheGame When players decide to support #marathonthegame, just remember this isn't the studio that made Halo. It's the studio that killed Destiny 2.

@MikeUmbro I’m from So Cal originally. CA state government makes us think we need them. Texas has 60% more renewable gigawatt hours of electricity. Texas has no income tax and gas taxes. I miss the weather and breakfast burritos but not the bullshit. Easier to visit these days.

@sweatystartup Remind us again what happened to all the gold prospectors? Some found fortunes. Most didn’t.

This man is selling shovels during the gold rush. He is smart.

@Han_Akamatsu Just found out $SMCI is run by traitors. But ya sure maybe the stock will be fine. Fucking retard.

So $SMCI back into that multi year support trendline now at $23. Although I don’t think anyone’s interested in buying this thing here now with these allegations going on. But if a bounce come? Oh man.. Break that support and it’s over.

@sundeep They’re high on their own supply. Seen this before and it doesn’t end well.

@pcgamer Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 was tolerable because the game had a breadth of content including PvE during the week. Marathon doesn’t have that.

@DeItaone 10% increase overall from current market levels.

JPMORGAN CUTS S&P 500 OUTLOOK AS OIL SHOCK RAISES RECESSION RISK JPMorgan has lowered its year-end S&P 500 target to 7,200 from 7,500 as surging oil prices—driven by the Iran conflict—heighten recession risks. The bank warns markets may be underestimating the economic impact of higher energy costs. While investors focus on inflation, JPMorgan sees a bigger threat to consumer demand, which could weaken growth. Historically, oil spikes above 30% often trigger demand destruction and have frequently preceded recessions. In the near term, the S&P 500 could fall further, especially after dropping below its 200-day moving average—a bearish signal. If selling continues, the index may find support around 6,000–6,200. Although JPMorgan still expects a recovery later in the year, supported by investment and stimulus, gains are likely to be more limited due to ongoing geopolitical risks.

@DXFromYT Bookmarking this for when the next round of layoffs hit.

It's worth noting that at this point in the game's lifecycle, Highguard only had 4,524 players left on Steam. Marathon has over 10 times that right now, and those are all players who paid to get in. It was shortsighted to hitch one's wagons on Marathon being Concord 3.

@pcgamer FOMO because the player base is smol. Just queueing 3s takes way too long for a game that just came out.

Marathon community crushes Cryo Archive puzzle, unlocks release date, and learns the map is only playable on weekends pcgamer.com/games/fps/mara…

@evanf1997_ My goodness. The cope. Marathon is fun, but its scope, delivery, and world building is not remotely close to Destiny 2. Bungie has said they brought in external story people to build out the world. At the end of the day its solid PvP maps with aggrobots.

I'm really hopeful that Cryo can do for Marathon what the Vault of Glass did for Destiny

@Ziegler_Dev Weekend Only scheduling creates FOMO. It’s a tactic used in Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris. Bungie is intentionally creating a psychological fear of missing out to manipulate players to show up. I don’t play a single other comp FPS that does this.

Cryo and Ranked are coming and we're excited to see players battle it out over Tau Ceti and traverse into the big scary moon-like ship in the sky. We've put out a few posts about Cryo, poured through the variety of comments and feedback we've seen so far, and wanted to take some time to explain some of the initial decisions we've made around Cryo and Ranked with regards to weekend scheduling. So without further ado, here's what we have been thinking: We are of course always iterating and are open to looking at other options in the future, but the Ranked/Cryo Archive weekend decision is really built around three points: - Preparing: We acknowledge that players will lose a lot of gear on Cryo and Ranked because it is intended to challenge you to your limits. As a result of that, it's important that Cryo and Ranked feel like an event you can schedule towards, grind gear up to do, etc. The loop of spend time grinding gear to spend it in Cryo or Ranked is reflected in this choice as a weekly cycle. - Economy Talk: We have some great rewards on Cryo that kind of break the bank when it comes to economy and power gain. If we were to look at having it open all the time, we'd probably have to adjust how frequently you can earn these rewards so that we don't flood the game with amazing loot all of a sudden. - Logistics Time: Cryo and Ranked both have entry requirements (gear ante) that are built around the idea of you matching with other players on an equal investment level. They also both have a high level requirement to ensure you've experienced enough of the game to understand the challenges inherent to the game. This inherently makes the amount of people in that queue at any time unpredictable. Both of these experiences also need a consistent flow of players in the queue to make sure matches are full to retain the challenge. To reduce the match times and allow players to find matches quicker, making it a scheduled event means more players will show up during that window and feed the queue pool better. We also acknowledge that there are likely some who cannot participate on the weekend or are excited about the experience and want to no-life it for weeks, and we appreciate that. We'll be looking into what we can do to retain these considerations and potentially accommodate this in the future. Things we may iterate on in the future: - Staggering Ranked and Cryo queues more so they overlap less - Looking at changing the days we do either Cryo or Ranked - Changing the ante values of Cryo or Ranked - Looking at any other conditions (solo experience, crew fill experience, etc.) and iterating on it! Marathon is an evolving game and part of evolving is seeing how this initial launch plays out and adjusting as we go =). Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming and we'll update you when we figure out the next evolution.

@MarathonGameHQ As a long time Destiny 2 player this is FOMO that Bungie has leveraged for years in their other game. They’re a big fan of psychological tactics to keep people on a leash.

Marathon devs have shared their reasons for Ranked and Cryo Archive being weekend only: - Players will lose a lot of gear, so Cryo and Ranked should feel like an event you schedule towards and grind gear up to do - Some rewards on Cryo are too good and would break the economy and power gain systems if it were always open - Cryo and Ranked both have gear ante requirements and level requirements and need a consistent flow of players in the queue to make sure matches are full to retain the challenge. Making it a scheduled event means more players will show up during that window.

@WTec78 @ns123abc @LauraLoomer Pretty clear at this point Jensen @nvidia is either willfully ignorant or complicit.

@_ROB_29 Fucking based. Now we pay extra for lossless music streaming just to get back to the raw audio quality we had in 1999. Wireless audio is still lo-fi in most applications. Most kids have never heard a track with full instrumentals coming through.

If people want to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection and then replace that with a CD collection that we slowly replaced with an MP3 collection and now need a subscription to listen to music.

@gregorykennedy The bigger question is where did they all go?

1. I can’t believe I agree with Glenn Beck. 3. I am embarrassed to live in Seattle. 3. All the commenters telling me to leave are going to get their wish.

@HustleBitch_ I think a Swedish prison has equal ammenities.

🚨 SHE HAPPILY PAYS $3,175 A MONTH FOR A 350 SQ FT APARTMENT IN NYC — AND CALLS IT A “DEAL” — WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE INSIDE A woman just showed her NYC apartment… and you can basically see the entire place the second you walk in. Only ONE real window. No washer or dryer. Barely any storage. They had to add their own kitchen island… build extra storage… and stack shoes wherever they fit just to make it livable. She says she uses artificial lighting just to make it feel brighter… and hauls laundry down the street every week. And somehow… this is considered a “deal.” She says renovated units in the same building go for over $4,000/month. The part that’s blowing people’s minds? She says she loves it… and doesn’t want to leave. At what point does “living in New York” stop being the dream… and start feeling like you’re paying luxury prices to live in a box?

@gothburz @zerohedge @grok summarize this in the style of mark twain

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.
