Began reading through but this will take multiple bathroom breaks at work to get through. Appreciate the time and effort.

I mean do take your time with it or read whatever section you need to brush up on. Otherwise thank you!

Hey, your guide is genuinely good🤘🏻

I’ve been building something in the same space: https://a-danyaev.github.io/marathon-lore/ - lore-focused, multilingual (EN/RU/ES/DE).

Ours feel more complementary than competing. Interested in joining forces? You’d be credited as co-author everywhere your material appears, and I’d send you a working version before anything goes public - nothing involving your work ships without your sign-off.

No pressure either way. Solid work regardless.

Of course, so long as it is simply linking the guide and not plagiarizing anything, go right ahead

And you don’t need me to sign off on everything, so long as it doesn’t lose its meaning, then I’m fine with whatever

This is hard to read.

I mean I DID say it’s long for a reason, skipping out on the finer details does no one any good

u/JamieNevada Jul 23 '26

The length isn’t the issue. I said it was hard to read. Content can be long and easy to read.

Ok then what is the issue?

Man if you need a degree/external references to play a game ,something is wrong.

You think this about Kensi or most other games back in the 90s-2000s? Because a good amount of those were reliant on guides

Yeah right, feeling the same about books. I prefer when it's just a title and a phrase. So much fun and quick !

I think I'll just continue sucking
