LONG, LEAN, HUNGRY ONES
In 1245, Pope Innocent IV composed a letter to Güyük Khan, requesting that the Mongols cease attacking Christian lands in Eastern Europe. This letter was carried all the way from Lyon to Karakorum, where it was read to the Khagan... www.greaterrealityarea.net/long-lean-hu...
Bestiary writers from Pliny on through DaVinci wrote of the legendary battles between elephants and dragons; two titanic beasts, evenly matched, their corpses found entangled throughout Africa and Asia. We can presume the surviving species of Proboscidea...

The bicephalous jackalope leads a complex and short existence due to only one of its heads being materially real. Though it may at first seem cumbersome, this grants it an evolutionary advantage over its better known cousin, the common jackalope, as the...

Rook runs are honestly my favorite mode to play. I love finding just enough to be scary as a Rook.
you should be operating under the assumption that every team on the map is potentially more skilled and better equipped than you. don't draw attention to yourself, don't pick fights yourself unless you feel good about your kit and position.
also, if you can manage to talk to your team members, try to encourage them to move slowly and quietly. a lot of solo queue players are trying to play this game like fortnite with a lot of fast sprinting to areas of interest and reckless parkour. this will make all of you easy prey to ambushes.
If you need a good weapon on the cheap, go for the Magnum MC. You can get its schema in the pass, it only costs $400 for the base version, and it hits like a truck. you'll find plenty of mods laying around in tool carts to get it up to at least green or blue capability.
good advice here. the free sponsor kits will make you a liability to your team as soon as you inevitably encounter another squad. I will say though, the $4k mystery kits are relatively viable and a good way to get your build back on track if you're missing important parts like shields.
deeply fucked up to read this on a monday
I got a package like this once
The Aramchek Proposal: instead of the leap year and daylight savings, every two years, we wind the clock back twelve hours, flipping AM and PM while preserving the integrity of the duodecimal clock. The repeat hours of the flip are a global festival where we celebrate man’s shared war against time.

i forgive you
you forgot west elm caleb but he hasn’t forgotten you. he holds us all within his mind
a smarter humanity would roll daylight savings into the leap year, and have six nights a year extended by one hour. and an even smarter humanity would not have a twenty-eight day month when there are already some with thirty-one days. and an even smarter one still would order the latin names right.
it’s an intellectual fudge that allows for so much bullshit. the worst argument to me is that “consciousness is an emergent property of complexity,” which means less and less the longer you stare at it
people who know the real mr pussy lore know this isn’t even rare loot
Marathon’s beauty is its absolute rejection of any idea of fairness. You are always up against a grossly imbalanced hell, and the texture of that hell is other players. Solo queue and Rook mode make this as clear as possible. There are no clean getaways. Someone is probably already behind you.
this happened to my comrade eric
Also, it's called the University Beneath Denver because Colorado School of Mines was taken
LIVING LANDSLIDES
According to legends written down in Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, the slide-rock bolter is a species of alpine whale that anchors itself high in the Rocky Mountains by its tail flukes, only to luge down the slope with an open... www.greaterrealityarea.net/living-lands...
heard a voice mod of him going “i’m rooking it” as he died and fucking lost it
Playing Rook runs is my favorite part of Marathon so far, being a filthy scavenger everyone wants dead is survival horror mode
The America-based “North of Reality” and “Greater Reality Area” have nothing to do with the proposition of a “Greater North America.” At the same, I do think North Americans can be one people and should reject the current execution of it
I dropped loot once. Fell from an old playground slide, and knocked my face on the way down. I spat up a little emerald ring, etched with owls
not even kidding
wait until people find out about how important bill clinton is in marathon lore
Marathon seems to be getting hit with a big wave of “it’s great but can you make the game in my head instead” style feedback
liv please
