Marathon |OT| A Shell of its Former Self.

Went to the dentist today. $2500 in upcoming expenses and that's before the root canal so that will add more.

Goodbye any savings I had left. Hello suicide prevention hotline.

JK. Marathon in 24 hours is all the suicide prevention a real man needs.

Didn't even know ACEU and Albralelie played this weekend. They were goated in Apex Legends! ACEU even stated he likes Marathon more than ARC Raiders. Those guys have a huge following. Albralelie won Preseason Invitational back in 2019 when he was part of TSM. Guess I'll have to follow them again on Twitch lol

Hate the Dentist. I have an appointment tomorrow also and I expect to get some bad news about one of my teeth.

I'm looking forward to playing in teams as much as possible to start, when everyone's still learning the game and leveling up and the population is at its peak. I had fun playing solo in the slam but it didn't compare to team play (with friends, not with randoms). Especially with a couple buddies who were Halo 3 fiends back in the day. Their old muscle memory came back. We had some great fights.

I think solos will become more rewarding later on once we all really learn the game.

Solo was way more fun as Rook in the slam for me.
 
Now that im done with RE9, im getting so excited for this. Sadly i work tomorrow :( but will play the shit out of it from friday until monday. Cant wait to grind the factions and do their quests finally oh and read and listen to the lore. I skipped everything during the beta and the server slam, because wanted to save it for full release

Sounds like you're sick. Maybe take the week off to recover.

Same. Didn't pay attention to anything during the slam, skipped all cut scenes. Taking my time and taking everything in tomorrow.

Man, I know this all too well. There was a good period of my life where I had no insurance and didn't go to the dentist for awhile, but I still did everything on my end to keep up. When I finally went back, it wasn't AS bad as it could've been, but I definitely had some bills to pay, lol. Now I don't miss a single cleaning and never ever will. Regardless if I have insurance or not, lol. All the best!

TAU CETI IV WILL HEAL!

I'm right there with you as I just beat it a couple of days ago. I work tomorrow, but will dive in ASAP. I did the same thing there as well, just kind of rushed through everything as I knew I'd have to revisit. Then I can just take it all in and process everything.

I'm excited because I remembered that I only really touched Perimeter. Didn't touch Dire or Outpost to save it for launch. Good job past me, lol.

Same, I only loaded into dire marsh once or twice and got instantly deleted.

You boys are in for a treat the maps get better as you go up. Dire Marsh is a significant step up. Admittedly I've not played much Outpost but its widely regarded as the hardest and best map of the bunch by the nerds in the discord.

You want better gear you have to go to the harder maps.

Scored a new headset just now. Arrives in the AM. Got pissed off trying to deal with windows bluetooth.

After collector's, controller, hat, worm, I just can't justify the headset. Really happy with my current Alienware one. But check back with me next week, who knows!

Man it's not even out yet and the amount of shit you can do in this game is up there with Deadlock lol. Not even joking, all of the buildcrafting along with synergies, counter-plays, etc seem wild already!

I had a root canal and crown done a few years ago. Expensive shit.

Where are you located? For me I regret not getting it down in Mexico for significantly cheaper.

I didnt realize until near end of beta that you can "inspect your weapon" and individually add mods. You don't have to hover over the icons to see whether they belong to a certain weapon or not

Ok now I just got an order update for the t-shirt. I never ordered the t-shirt. I wonder if I'm gonna end up with a free t-shirt.

I only just figured out you can swap scopes on some weapons by pressing x.

I've played this game for around 80 hours lol
 
Here's a random question, so what is permanent or how does gear work in terms of like arc raiders you get blue prints so mainly you gotta farm mats to make another gun of that particular kind. So how's end game gear work for what's kept or is it just what you get is all lost if you lose it?
