lmao street cocaine
probably laced with something
became so aggressive that my friends called 112
three burly cops wrestled me into an ambulance, i woke up in the hospital, my mates took me home, that was that
probably would've been shot by american cops tbh
amsterdam cops are a different breed, they've seen it all
the folly of youth
i was also very drunk by the time the cocaine showed up
a british tourist offered it to me
yeah this was years ago

Is it just me or Kiriko is just not that good in OW2? Doesn't seem to do much healing and I don't find the blades all that effective. I switched back to Ana.
fallow sequoia
she is pretty difficult to play if you want to optimize her. blades deal a ton of damage if you aim for the head, her movement is made with the style of annoying the enemy and then vanishing (a bit like sombra but less offensive)
i think she is pretty good. Shroud plays her so you can watch a glimpse on how she's sorta meant to be played

360 fps is 6 times of what I get lol
But I see that even he misses quite a bit. Blade rof is low and there is no zoom. Hard to hit targets at range. If you get too close, you have to rely on a teammate to escape. Maybe it's pretty good at high ranks, I'm just an unranked enjoyer.

that's the point of the daggers basically. because headshots deal a ton of damage, more than normal of any other support character and matches DPS role values. would be OP if the projectile speeds were fast and there was a zoom. Also she's very mobile and having to rely on teammates for escapes makes sense because she's a support. And don's forget her invul ability that cleanses everything

No... not exactly.
Three different development teams are trying to resurrect their "altered" version of the original.
"Fault: The Elder Orb"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1106750/Fault_Elder_Orb/
"OverPrime" ( on Steam & EPIC Games ). The devs recently wrote to EPIC and asked them if they could incorporate the trade name "Paragon" and for whatever reason, EPIC agreed and handed them the trademark:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1531430/Paragon_The_Overprime/
Predecessor:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/961200/Predecessor/
Fault rushed to be the first-to-market ( and recently went free to play ).
Overprime is from a Korean team ( it plays like a hyper-kinetic, hero brawler, which is a "thing" in Korea ).
Predecessor, I'm waiting to try, but it features a million-dollar budget by "Omeda Studios" ( and outside investors ) and Steve Superville as an advisor ( who was the original creative director on Legacy Paragon.

abstract walrus
Going from $100-150 for all of the cosmetics in a event to $25 for one skin. Is just absurd. It's also illegal in the EU since they're saying this bundle is 'on sale' for $25 instead of $35. Which is... Not allowed in the EU or anywhere with even slightly decent consumer protection laws.

what did we expect from blizzard
abstract walrus
Idk
It's kinda funny that 2042 has a better value for money proposition on their cosmetics than overwatch has
I don't wanna sound like I'm completely against anything you can buy in game. It's just that when all of the rewards that were tied to your progression in the game get cut to sell it's slightly annoying. I still buy every DLC and have the supporters package in DRG because I adore the game and the devs are wonderful.

I feel like Pokemon games should be enjoyed very slowly
one step at a time
hasty heath
No I mean I could get one of his gen3 roms
And just play that instead
Rising Ruby any good?
hasty heath
Ah bummer
halcyon sage
tbh Emerald is really good as is 
hasty heath
Alright I'll keep at it then š
hasty heath
I feel like Pokemon games should be enjoyed very slowly
Yeah this is me as well lmao
halcyon sage
well now I wanna play through Emerald again š
shell stream
I want a modern day ruby remake š
hasty heath
I linger a lot in an area before moving on, keeping my team's level cohesive, talking to all the NPCs, lol
halcyon sage
I can find you a good Emerald improvement hack if you'd like? better graphics and newer features
hasty heath
Nah I've made up my mind now, I'll finish this playthrough first
halcyon sage
there was one I really enjoyed a couple years back called Inclement Emerald, it even had mega rayquaza iirc
hasty heath
Never actually played Emerald before, only had Ruby as a kid
halcyon sage
get ready for a crazier elite 4 then, I mostly play nuzlockes now so I'm not sure I'm the right person to say this but it's very hard if you play with level caps š
marble portal
Team š§£ Scarlet or Violet š» ?
halcyon sage
did you mean Pokemon X or Pokemon Zero?
(I found this on Google, no idea who the artist is to credit them)
marble portal
Damn I love those
hasty heath
@halcyon sage couldn't resist the curiosity
halcyon sage
south narwhal
so close yet so far
halcyon sage
we can't have a discussion about Pokemon without our local woopy boy now can we? @icy tulip
hasty heath
hello I heard pokemon and also my name
Tell me why I should find and use a Wooper in my Renegade Platinum playthrough
hasty heath
Yes but why is he Wooper
icy tulip

Atomic heart finally got a release date. Feb 2023

And last of us premiers on hbo January 15th, can't wait

halcyon sage
Tell me why I should find and use a Wooper in my Renegade Platinum playthrough
how's your run going? š
halcyon sage
good progress! hope you're enjoying it so far!
hasty heath
I picked Turtwig and all the Flying types on the early routes that actually use Peck/Gust made me feel like an idiot immediately
But we'll survive šŖ
halcyon sage
wait until you reach the stage where those same birds start using Close Combat 
I always pick the penguin in my run, love that little thing
- water/steel type in its final evolution
halcyon sage
you might need to invest into a good ice or electric type š
thankfully you get them earlier than the original game
right before 2nd gym iirc
hasty heath
Or a Psychic type with an Electric move
That was my birdkiller in White, Musharna with Charge Beam
Or something like that
halcyon sage
ooooh right š
it's the base game that gives it to you later
for me I always turn it into a Glaceon for those pesky dragon types
halcyon sage
give it return and an everstone (the item that gives you defenses if you're not evolved) and watch it sweep 
hasty heath
š
halcyon sage
what's its nature btw?
halcyon sage
give it return and an everstone (the item that gives you defenses if you're not ...
ah apologies, Eviolite not Everstone*
hasty 
Jolteon might be a good evolution
hasty heath
My Turtwig is Careful, hm.
halcyon sage
it's already very fast and with the speed boost it'll outspeed everything
halcyon sage
My Turtwig is Careful, hm.
maybe an sp def tank?
hasty heath
Yea
halcyon sage
does it learn recover? I know it learns toxic
hasty heath
And Torterra wants to use Att anyway
hasty heath
it's already very fast and with the speed boost it'll outspeed everything
That sounds dope
I love me some Jolteon, it was my favorite of the OG Eeveelutions
hasty heath
does it learn recover? I know it learns toxic
In this romhack? Who knows
halcyon sage
In this romhack? Who knows
let me check
hasty heath
It already learned Curse and I was like???
halcyon sage
halcyon sage
it can also learn the rock polish TM??
there's a strat I really love used by the ice type leader
have Abomasnow go in (or any other mon with hail) then after it dies throw in a mon with snow cloak
more evasiveness
use a double team or a calm mind
then spam blizzard
as blizzard has 100% accuracy in hail
hasty heath
it can also learn the rock polish TM??
reminds me of my Carracosta
with Shell Break
and Waterfall
:)
halcyon sage
oof that is sick
hasty heath
that was a cool sweeper when it got going. lotta weaknesses though, that water/rock typing is... unforgiving
hasty heath
I always really liked Swampert's water/ground typing
halcyon sage
abomasnow comes to mind, ice/grass is just so bad
halcyon sage
I always really liked Swampert's water/ground typing
YESS
in the remakes they gave Sceptile grass/dragon in its mega evolution and that combo is so good
4x weak to ice but those are rare anyway
hasty heath
abomasnow comes to mind, ice/grass is just so bad
jeeeesus
hasty heath
4x weak to ice but those are rare anyway
yea Torterra has the same problem
Ice is just such a good offensive typing
halcyon sage
also be sure to grab a Gabite after 2nd gym š
hasty heath
I always make sure my water mon has at least one Ice attack
halcyon sage
or Gible, forgot
hasty heath
Yooo Garchomp let's goooo
halcyon sage
Ice is great offensively but so bad defensively š
doesn't help that Ice mons have horrible defenses
hasty heath
actually idk I already have Torterra for the Ground coverage I might wanna get a different Dragon
and I remember Gible being a PITA to train
I guess all the pseudolegendaries are
halcyon sage
oh IIRC Spiritomb is obtainable in Renegade Plat
since there's no fairy type yet it has no weaknesses
halcyon sage
ah rip
hasty heath
I have an uhhh
halcyon sage
still, only one weakness is REALLY good
hasty heath
Mr Mime Junior lmao
halcyon sage
oooh right
hasty heath
some NPC in the trainer school gave me one
halcyon sage
look for a Togepi 
hasty heath
still, only one weakness is REALLY good
yea and 3 immunities
halcyon sage
Togekiss is REALLY good
hasty heath
look for a Togepi <:pog:950005217074765824>
you're goddamn right I will
Togetic/Togekiss are some of my fav mons
halcyon sage
you don't have a fighting or steel type yet right?
might be worth getting the Riolu egg
for Lucario
hasty heath
naw I only have the Turtwig, Eevee and babby Mime
hasty heath
might be worth getting the Riolu egg
where is that?
halcyon sage
I play a lot of nuzlockes so I plan my team ahead of time š
I think right before 6th gym
hasty heath
fair cop, I see the appeal but I don't need that kind of stress in my life xD
halcyon sage
there's a city you go to left of Jubilife after you get surf
halcyon sage
fair cop, I see the appeal but I don't need that kind of stress in my life xD
it's not that stressful when you have someone playing with you or at least watching you play
my partner and I just lost a heartgold nuzlocke and it was so funny and painful at the same time š
hasty heath
RIP
uneven urchin
Iām actually curious about the PokĆ©mon games coming out in two weeks
hasty heath
@halcyon sage you can get the Kanto starters really early??? whaaaat
halcyon sage
oh right! you can get all starters in the first 3 big cities š
hasty heath
wild
I think I'm gonna skip that though, idk. doesn't feel right
what's the point of playing Platinum then, you know?
halcyon sage
totally fair!
hasty heath
so tempting to get a Charmander though lmaoooo
halcyon sage
Charizard trivializes the game though š
hasty heath
yeah I can imagine
too much of a beast
ok I got a Geodude with Rock Tomb* even
time to beat my friend up
halcyon sage
throw rocks like a true 10 year old
hasty heath
this guy has a Munchlax with METRONOME? lmao what
whatever Geodude clears
oh shit this Mime Jr has Technician
75 power Confusion let's goooo
halcyon sage
well now I'm interested in watching that playthrough
hasty heath
Charizard trivializes the game though š
oh god he's even fire/dragon in this game
hasty heath
might be worth getting the Riolu egg
No I caught it lmao
Now I have a Riolu with Brick Break >:)
(I named him Bruce)
halcyon sage
oh wow, completely forgot about that š
hasty heath
I was just exploring the basement of that cave and voila
Apparently it's a Renegade Platinum only thing
hasty heath
oh wow, completely forgot about that š
you can even get an ice pokemon before the first gym, there's an NPC that will trade you their spheal for a ponyta in oreburgh
fuck yeah spheal let's goooo
The squad so far. Gonna replace Geodude with something else after Jolteon learns its first Electric type attack. Any suggestions @halcyon sage ?
south narwhal
francois
south narwhal
im gonna steal his wallet
hasty heath
Jolteon is named after my dog Elin, Grotle's name Kylo is derived from anKYLOsaurus, Geodude is named Rocky because... he's a rock, Riolu is Bruce after Bruce Lee, and Gaia is just named that way when you get the Spheal from the NPC trade and the name can't be changed
halcyon sage

oh shoot really? had no idea
halcyon sage
The squad so far. Gonna replace Geodude with something else after Jolteon learns...
looking sick!
hasty heath
oh shoot really? had no idea <:poggers:1005084728786948136>
yeah normally it's a machop -> abra trade but it's different for renegade
south narwhal
only thing i remember from pokemon is using ghost types against fighting types and laughing to myself
halcyon sage
I never really bother with trades until after champion so that's new
hasty heath
I'm kinda feeling Cyndaquil as my 6th instead of Geodude but idk if Fire is the most useful type to get in that slot
right now i have electric, grass, ground, fighting, steel, psychic, fairy, ice and water, so what am i not covering
halcyon sage
you also need a flying type to ignore ground moves
defensively it looks pretty good, though I'd switch spheal for a non-ice type
hasty heath
oh yeah and for Fly and stuff
halcyon sage
tentacruel maybe but you gain ground weakness
which you can then ignore with a flying mon if you switch correctly
hasty heath
I wanna keep the spheal š
halcyon sage
spheal is friend shaped, totally valid
hasty heath
Torterra resists ground and counters it with grass himself, so let's say he just facetanks that
halcyon sage
imo immunities are way better than resistances
as you can PP stall
try to shove a toxic/leach seed staller in there too
those things are broken
hasty heath
is the game hard enough to require those kinds of strats?
halcyon sage
I play with level caps (not going past the level of the next gym leader's ace) so I'm not sure how hard it is without it
there ARE a couple trainers who are really hard though, but I doubt you'd need those kinds of strats
hasty heath
Alright

I was playing Deep Rock Galactic with some friends after not playing it for a bit
I forgot I had the nukes equipped on Engineer
There was a mild amount of extreme friendly fire

A mild amount of extreme has gotta be my favorite descriptor of friendly fire
fallow sequoia
sounds like me with TNT in minecraft
"oh I just ignited this one, look guys"
".....dude wait"

Well I usually use incendiary rounds for the grenade launcher which don't do that much friendly fire and I fire that like a few feet away.
As it turns out launching a nuke in arms reach is not good.

Hanzo is interesting in his current form

Because Spheal's typing makes her... not very useful

Yeah he's got that
Or like
If my Mr. Mime could learn an Ice move
Do you know where the Move Tutor is?
halcyon sage
I think you should be fine, you'll have plenty of ice types by then
halcyon sage
but catching is fun 
hasty heath
Heh yeah well you have two types of Pokemon players
Those who like to raise one team and get really attached to them, and those who gotta catch 'em all
I'm very much the former
Call it sentimental
halcyon sage
instead of one team I always go for specific types
I always go out of my way to catch Steel and Ice types š¤£

tekken is not nearly as funny as smash bros

not true based on my experiences. there has been lots of shouts with how casual friendly tekken 7 has become

all my friends don't play fighting games, so simplified combos made it very fun for them

lots of hype, cheers etc which we never got in smash
y'all are weird
fallow sequoia
you must have not played tekken 7
hasty heath
idk how you can play that with your mates and not be screaming and laughing your ass off at the chaos
fallow sequoia
it is chaotic, I agree. but it wasn't fun for some when they died too quickly and had to wait for 6 other friends to finish
tekken created fun fake beef, it was much more fun to watch
especially in clutch moments where the slow mow system kicks in

it is chaotic, I agree. but it wasn't fun for some when they died too quickly an...

we're all pretty evenly matched so it doesn't play out like that
