It's time to stop fucking around — 2026 is the year I actually get some serious writing done. Real life threw a circus at me over the holidays and into the new year (too many clowns, zero safety net), so my output took a hit even though I was still lurking on here. Fuck that noise. Expect way more movie reviews — especially the nasty schlocky horror shit I live for — more video game rants, more unhinged op-eds, and way more X Articles dropping consistently. If you’re into brutally honest, zero-bullshit takes on films, games, and whatever else pisses me off or turns me on, stick around. No ass-kissing, no clout-chasing — just the raw shit.

@EmbarkBulletin Burnout, two full rotations of expeditions and only new content was more flying enemies. Live service games demand too much monopoly when my backlog is bloated with incomplete games that have endings.

If you stopped playing ARC Raiders for quite some time or even just a little, what was the reasoning? Burnt out? Updates were not what you expected? Something else?

That budget is growing with every marketing campagn like this they run. Why spend more money on IGN fluff pieces when you could just work on trying to unfuck the game? Quit calling attention to your obvious failure and let everything die down until you pull the plug or have something worth paying attention to, this is not rocket surgery.

@Grummz I wanted it to succeed to bleed the streamers and rats off of Arc Raiders, but it had an apocalyptic launch and bled out quickly. Not surprised, not disappointed, but kind of tired of being right. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Game Budgets: LOSERS: Marathon - $250 M Concord - $200 M Highguard - $200M Profit: $0 WINNERS: Clair Obscur - $10 M Helldivers 2 - $50-100 M Crimson Desert - $133 M Palworld - $7 M Stellar Blade - $50 M Space Marines 2 - $40-60 M Profit: 10-50x The chuds were right.

@Pirat_Nation It was D.O.A. Both times they let people play it pre-release everyone hated it. It launched to low numbers, bled players very quickly, and was left in the gutter below games old enough to vote. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Marathon is cooked Paul Tassi (Forbes): "I can confirm Marathon's budget is over $200m. Likely over $250m. This does not include ongoing costs for maintenance or new content" >About two weeks ago, analyst firm Alinea estimated that Marathon had sold around 1.2 million copies across all platforms. I confirmed with my Bungie sources that was close to accurate. Marathon had previously hit #2 on the Steam revenue chart ahead of launch. >Also near-accurate is a 478K daily active user count in its first weekend, though that dropped to 345K more recently. That data is two weeks old, however. >As I previously reported, the majority of Marathon’s playerbase is on Steam, as confirmed by my sources. Alinea reports it as 70% >Marathon did not chart inside Steam’s top 10 at launch. It released with an 88,337 concurrent peak on its largest platform. That is a drop from the 143,621 peak during the free server slam (the game is now $40). >Since launch just over a month ago, those peaks have dropped by 68%, where the game most recently hit a 27,670 peak at the time of this writing. >Marathon is now the 106th most-played game on Xbox. I do not have full PS5 data, though it did chart on its top 10 list at launch. Marathon is 78th in daily active users on Steam at the time of this writing, 82nd in top sellers.

@Pirat_Nation Oh so THATS where Judge Dredd sent them. youtu.be/MhqLcBoPTro?t=…

Post-apocalyptic extraction shooter 'The Cube, Save Us' is being shut down The Game was released 3 weeks ago

@GhostEightThots Sony/Bungie probably wont shut it down exclusively out of spite and hubris. They have already lost money and good faith, the last thing they want is to surrender. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

The Marathon community is the most mentally unwell insane group of losers on X. Marathon is for weirdos who are potential school shooters and everyone who defends the game should be on a watch list. Not even trolling. PS, game is dead. Cry more incels. Game sucks. It's going to be canceled.

@SmashJT I still think Sony/Bungie will keep it on a respirator out of spite and hubris alone. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Bungie’s Marathon is on pace for its worst day yet (evergreen tweet)

I'm glad you enjoy it, but it is objectively a failure. By the numbers it does not have the sales or player base to sustain. I don't think Bungie or Sony will shut it down, not because its a success, but out of pure spite and hubris. For those who enjoy it I hope it does not die, but it has a grim outlook. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Me almost 300 hours into Marathon, can’t stop thinking about it when I’m at work, excited to get home and grind every day “Have you checked the steam charts today shill? The numbers are declining, look at the red line. Bungie is going to be liquidated. Just wait until the Sony earnings call” 🙄 #Marathon

@isolatedrook Officially allegedly maybe definitely. Idk if it shuts down this year, but it is defiantly a failure by all honest metrics. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Is it official or alleged? It can't be both.

@ExoGhost Your wording is wrong, remove "Officially" and put "Allegedly" or "in my opinion" in its place. I know you got it at the end, but its a big red target for cope and shills, unless you are just engagement farming idk why you would give an easy target. x.com/GeniusAnus/sta…

Marathon is officially shutting down this year (allegedly) 70% of players already quit after 1 month. In the past 4 days alone, it lost 9000 players There is no doubt about it. This game is dying and will be shut down

Troon streamer; opinion discarded.

🚨 BUNGIE JUST YEETED A LEGENDARY FRANCHISE STRAIGHT INTO THE ICEBERG Marathon runs through a field of rakes and off a cliff — and somehow still has the audacity to charge admission. Stolen art. Gutted soul. Marketed exclusively to sweaty NEETs while Arc Raiders casually hit 12.4 million. I went full autopsy on this flaming disaster. No copium. No mercy. Read the bloodbath here: #Marathon #Bungie #Gaming #ExtractionShooter #Fail

Bowel movements only produce one thing. . .

Oh yeah? Well Marathon just tested the exact oposite of that mentality so lets see how well pure sweaty PvP managed. . . Oh. . .well. . . I guess you shit heels are still at the unpopular table.

Last October I went full fucking masochist and dropped 31 horror reviews in 31 days — one savage, zero-bullshit gonzo takedown for every single day of Halloween. Some were nasty little gems. Most were glorious trash. I held nothing back. The complete “31 Days of Spooktober” list is right here on Criticless (all the reviews in one place): → criticless.com/lists/0b15280a… If you like your horror commentary cynical, filthy, and dripping with black humor, this is your shit. Tell me in the replies which one you’re watching first (or which one I roasted too hard). Let’s get weird. #Horror #HorrorMovies #HorrorCommunity #HorrorTwitter #CultHorror #Schlock #PracticalEffects #Slasher #GoreHorror #31DaysOfHorror
