Marathon is a neon light shining on the ugliest parts of human nature

avclub.comI was running as Recon. My friends and I were in Cargo and were getting ready to push out into another area when we got pinged by an enemy Recon. I popped my own scan—there were two teams close by. However, they were mingled close together and weren’t shooting at each other. Clearly coordinating.
I tried calling out to them over proximity voip. No response…probably because they were in a Discord call together or something. They were totally silent.
We kept getting pinged; they had multiple Recons. My friends and I only had level 2 security clearance, and still needed several more security tags before level 3. Only ten minutes remained in the run. I knew we were pretty much screwed.
We tri
I haven’t advanced very far yet in my story contracts, and I’ve only done a few runs on Outpost so far, but I’m perplexed by the Pinwheel. I understand there are a couple different ways to access it (plus a third that’s currently disabled), but I don’t have a firsthand understanding of how to get in and I’m wondering how people have figured out how to access it. Does the game explain it to you somewhere, or is it like a puzzle that you have to solve? I realize you can just look it up online now, but I’m wondering how people figured it out in the first place.
Most of the time when I went to Brouwer’s for a bite, I ordered the stoofvlees. The way they prepared it, it was like Belgian poutine. It was one of the most hearty and flavorful dishes I regularly ate while I lived in Seattle.
When I heard Brouwer’s was closing back in 2024, I was devastated, especially because I knew I’d probably never get to eat their stoofvlees again. My friends and I hoped that someone there might decide to post some of the recipes from their kitchen. One of my friends emailed the pub to beg for the stoofvlees recipe before they officially closed, but never heard back.
It’s been a couple years now, and my hopes of seeing the Brouwer’s stoofvlees recipe pop up have gro
You are a dick. A clever dick, a funny dick, but a dick.
My friend and I don’t pay much attention to the novelty beers. We weren’t near the bar when this dwarf ordered the Randoweissers, and assumed they had just selected the Today’s Special. After we drank our beers, we were like, uh oh…what just happened? This rando dwarf left the lobby shortly thereafter. Then we started our next mission, and it dawned on us what had happened. Luckily our randomized loadouts weren’t too bad.
Pretty good troll job, I’d say.
I don’t see this brand getting discussed much in the heritage wear space. I’m not sure if that’s because they’re perceived as being more of a repro company, or if they just aren’t that appealing to people looking for a fashionable leather jacket. They’re miUSA but many of their jackets are priced well below the $1000 range (to be somewhat expected as they mostly use goatskin or lambskin). I’m toying with the idea of taking a flyer on an A-2 jacket (no pun intended there), but I was wondering if the folks in this community have any experience with them.
