I was so ready to gloat about landing that shot for the second time…that would have been a ā€˜personal win’

oh and for posterity’s sake, here’s the skin I made

CharAznable1

I’ll send the pcx file to anyone who wants it, I hand drew that butt cleavage showing through the tunic bottom (the rest of the skin came mostly from kitbashing and editing a bunch of different pictures of char onto a naked quake man)

This was supposed to be my skin but it didn’t work!! I was very sad to find that out, just edit all the footage of me in your mind to this skin

This week at 2021-05-09T01:00:00Z it’s Gaming Goddess’ choice so we are playing Marathon Infinity, which is allegedly better than Doom cuz it’s like 90% reading dumb shit like this.

We won’t be doing any of the reading bits though*, we’ll do multiplayer, which is mostly shooting with occasional rugby.

  • YES I WANT TO FROGBLAST THE VENT CORE

0 voters

You can vote in the poll even if you don’t know what ā€œfrogblast the vent coreā€ means. I only know about it cuz I spent too much time lurking on Mac forums and they were always saying that shit. I always assumed it was some dumb Monty Python reference, some real ā€œlol randomā€ shit, as they used to say. Feel free to join us on the stream or join the Discord to let me know if I’m wrong about that.

I fully suspect I’ll win this one cuz I’ve spent my entire life using a one button mouse. I’m blessed by Jobs. Believe it.

*ok knowing how these things tend to go someone will probably end up reading half the game out loud and it will be fun but that someone def ain’t gonna be me, fuck reading

But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure. When all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You Are The Beautiful Game.

Does Aleph One have controller support?

Yes but there’s no aim assist as far as I can tell

(which is not to be exclusive etc., just bears mentioning because I’m finding it frustrating in a single player level)

I’m really going to try, despite final essays being due this weekend, to make it this time! I miss losing at everything that isn’t Herzog Zwei!

I’m gonna suck so badly! I’ve always sucked at Marathon and never really understood it. I can’t wait!

Exposing myself as a fake Mac gamer guy here but I tried playing Marathon a couple years ago and I couldn’t handle the movement speed? I think I’m just not made for Doom-style shooters

I KNOW WE’RE PLAYING INFINITY BUT CAN WE SPEND LIKE TWENTY MINUTES LISTENING TO THE MARATHON 2 BANGER

The punching switches part is particularly funny because in the Destiny raid inside a space station you almost exclusively shoot door panels like Star Wars. There’s not even an interact prompt - it’s bullets or punching or buster sword.

super late reply but adjusting the fov might help a bit! i set mine to 110 and unlimited the frame rate and it’s much less headache inducing although still pretty fast
