The PVP at the regular casino is terrible. All the seniors there go in with cheap kits, they don't even have guns.

I wish I could write like you, even just a little. Could we Freaky Friday body-swap for a day, so I can take notes and NOT steal your banking information? LMK.

Ayo big ups you Calvin! That means the world to me, thank you so much, really glad you liked the piece. Also I’m down for the Freaky Friday swap, but only if I get to be Lindsay Lohan.

That intro was just about the most evocative thing I have ever read on Substack. I was fully immersed--so bravo! Also great thoughts on Marathon :)

I played with a guy a few weeks ago, his buddy wasn't wholey on board with the game. They were chatting about it over the mics.

"He can't see the vision yet."

When Marathon clicks it clicks hard.

It has an ability to really get its hooks in you. I love Marathon for so many reasons that I didn’t include in the piece. However, its potential to world build and continue that amazing gameplay loop is what keeps me coming back every day.

I have never heard of this game and I really really want to play it now. I love how you are able to deeply philosophize about this game and the tie in the with mountain casino is just brilliant story telling. Awesome piece homie

Ayo Thanks Spam! I was trying to build a real sense of atmosphere and location in this piece I'm super hyped it came across.
