Playing solo is pretty chill - just explore the map - if you die, it's okay, if you only brought your corp starter pack you can still make progress on certain contracts even if you didn't exfil.
There are a lot of little progression systems that make dying not punishing.
I've only played for a couple of hours:
- track your materials that you might need for specific upgrades, they'll light up in-game
- you can do a "resource run" and just try to get a few upgrade materials and then get out early
- dying really is chill when you're not bringing your best stuff
This will help no matter what! There's a lot of little things that bring depth to #Marathon.
I'm also enjoying that the base loadouts are helpful for newbies. You can practice on a certain shell with the free corp loadouts and just find loot and learn your shell.
they're really top spuds

Managed to get in a couple of runs in the @marathonthegame.bungie.net #ServerSlam tonight.
The vibes are goooood around this. Though a few of the menus are a little unintuitive to start.
The gameplay plays pretty good - and I'm not afraid to lose my gear this early. Dying is chill. Game is fun!
Up until this Pixel 10 I never used cases for the last few years. But I have a newish countertop and the camera bump grinds on it without having the case lol

One day we'll hopefully (if we dream it and fight for it) live with a system that has raised the tide of all boats regardless of where they started, who they are, and where they stand in our hierarchies.
Hopefully we can help each other out in any way we can, small or large, in the meantime.
None of this stuff is a substitute for deeper, systemic supports through things like Universal Basic Income, but in the meantime, they're some of the most effective (outside of direct cash payments) ways of helping people get enough food.
There are a lot of ways to support your community!

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life β years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable β rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpaβs burger bash should be an easy choice
