[fallen iris]

you want a clip with some chest hair? here's one(you have to look in game footage, i have nno general perms )

[shell bronze]

shield/mace users try not to be LITERAL fodder.

[fallen iris]

i take pity on mace users. they intentionally take the difficult path. t5 two handed mace kinda fucks though

[shell bronze]

ikr

the simple joys of commoner longsword

[naive holly]

Lmao the panicked WAAH @fallen iris

Feels like i just fileted his willie

[fierce acorn]

beautiful game

[tulip sentinel]

Album ahh cover

[fierce acorn]

exactly

you get it juan

[tulip sentinel]

My name is Jan :(

I am no Spanish guy

[fierce acorn]

:(

[fossil cedar]

how to stop game crashing it crashed every time i was almost finishing golden knight

[golden glen]

i cant make it past peasant im doing something wrong

Never mind only just found challenge mode aha

[dire portal]

I'm surprised how many people are complaining about performance

The itch demo has much worse performance for me than the steam demo

[slow iris]

We're all just flesh and bone, truly

[stark moss]

i wish stabbing wasnt literally just an instant win

i mean yeah it'd hurt but like i literally got your shoulder and nothing else

[shell bronze]

i mean to be fair you just sliced clean thru bro's artery

overhead spam is the greatest thing in tiers at or below veteran

[stark moss]

i remember

people who were stabbed in their lifetime said they didn't really feel much until like a bit later

so stabbing in non-vital areas should probably be a tiny stun then it would be big pain in a few minutes

if you pull it out they would probably cover the wound

bro's overreacting

maybe i should make a suggestion out of it

[shell bronze]

calm parry practice sesh

[stark moss]

cant relate as a firstperson player

[fierce solar]

wtb clip of someone doinking themselves with a throwable

[stark moss]

THIS is how stabbing should feel

bro tanked it

collapsed after a few seconds

[keen yarrow]

lol as bro looks like he’s ready to make mince meat outta anyone that looks at him wrong

[keen yarrow]

nice

[stark moss]

this is NOT fatal bro 🥀

[shell bronze]

that is literally fatal gng

[stark moss]

didnt even pull the sword

[shell bronze]

rip major artery

[stark moss]

i mean yeah its fatal but not the instant fatal

just walk it off bro

chat is this fatal

cut so cleanly theres not even any blood

tapped me once btw

[shell bronze]

parry practice gone wrong

[stark moss]

least fragile hand moment

[shell bronze]

literally bruh

[stark moss]

apparently im just fine with one arm

mild pain but somehow standing

considering how this damage system works

ok gore does actually affect limb slicing

[stiff jackal]

how do you throw weapons

[stark moss]

swing and then release the waepon with a timing

almost impossible to hit tho

good luck

[stiff jackal]

ik how to throw them but i can never aim it properly

[stark moss]

its different for every weapon

[stiff jackal]

ahh ok

[stark moss]

i think two handeds are easier

[shell bronze]

1h weapon users try not to suck

[stark moss]

immediately folded under pressure

didnt even hit him

not fatal btw

willie is such an overreacter

[shell bronze]

he wouldn't be willie otherwise

[stark moss]

maybe max gore isnt a good idea

bro split my atoms 💔

its just rng

npcs barely react to slashes but when you stab their shoulder its just over

losing a limb doesnt even kill you

just pain

only for a bit

yup

[wheat gust]

i wish someone made whips

[wheat gust]

are you just playing music in the background or did you add a mod

[stark moss]

background

[wheat gust]

oh

[shell bronze]

max gore is fun when you're the one dishing out the punishment

not so much when you're the victim

[stark moss]

yup

[jolly gorge]

how are you getting this clearn movement?

[stark moss]

i think it just feels smoother when you're watching a video

[shell bronze]

nah i stick to a pretty strict discipline for my movement

[shell bronze]

a lot of practicing and dying

[jolly gorge]

fair lol

[jolly gorge]

but like, is it your sensitivity or your mouse movement?

[shell bronze]

lower sensitivity than normal and mostly mouse movement

lighter weapons also allow for snappier movement whereas the heavy stuff (like what militus specializes in) is a lot more floaty

[wheat gust]

another victim of the schlong stabbings

[stark moss]

cant wait for a replay mode so i can check clips at different angles

[shell bronze]

in my armored loadouts i do firm strikes and/or focus on precision because my armor allows me to commit to strikes in full

in commoner it's all about agility and getting hits in without taking any damage of my own

[wooden socket]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kIqhAI4Ayrc2ooBXF?invite=cr-MSxEbmssMjAxNDg5MDU0 chat can you help determine how the fuck i just did this

[astral tiger]

yo

Baron's sword is the biggest sword ?

[stark moss]

i think you just punched him

[wooden socket]

seems like it, was a weirdass punch tho

[tender quest]

classic quick left hook

[stark moss]

left hook never fails

[stark moss]

i wish we could fight using high tier weapons but without armor

armorless battles are fun

[tender quest]

you can, it just requires a mod or a bit of save file manipulating

[stark moss]

including the npcs

[muted dew]

There are few things more satisfying than snipping the neck at t8

[muted dew]

I LOVE DISARMING

[verbal knot]

Is there a normal human being that doesnt play on max gore

[ember zephyr]

why does the enemy keep saying eggard]

[languid gazelle]

[vital dagger]

bcs he thinks you're a eggard

he also calls you a cuckhold

a knauser

[stark moss]

[languid gazelle]

[ember zephyr]

is it better to have enemy focus on?

[ember zephyr]

why so mean ?

[vital dagger]

its preference, if your tracking sucks then yes

[stark moss]

it can screw you over when fighting multiple enemies but i guess ywea

[vital dagger]

Nails me in the throat out of nowhere

[stray pivot]

Anyone got any gameplay of the new gore?

[stark moss]

abuse range

[wooden socket]

wdym new gore

[stray pivot]

I saw a photo recently, it looked like a new gore system, faces had more damage, cuts caused swelling and had depth

[humble harbor]

I don’t think he realized he was dead for a moment

[wooden socket]

where did you see the photo? i dont see anything about it on the wip channel or anything of the sort

[stray pivot]

It was in this channel

Wasn’t in wip

[stark moss]

is this max gore

[stray pivot]

Saw it in the ICYMI on discord

That’s why I’m looking for it again

[humble harbor]

Probably, dismembering seems to be way more sensitive with gore up

[stark moss]

yup

[stray pivot]

Yeah gore effects that

[stark moss]

wish it didnt make the scythe stupid strong

[stray pivot]

Or the hoes

[wooden socket]

i see

[stray pivot]

Can’t stand getting sliced in half top to bottom with a rusted gardening hoe

[humble harbor]

Eh I like the extra sensitivity it makes the game a little more fun sometimes

[wooden socket]

does aynone else know anything bout that new gore?

[humble harbor]

Though if you get tapped a little too hard you tend to get the Gojo treatment

[stray pivot]

You could ask around, keep me posted if you find anything…

The photo I saw was a Willy on his side all cut up

[wooden socket]

any idea on how long ago you saw it or who posted it?

[wooden socket]

if i had to guess it was probably some teaser for early access gore

[humble harbor]

I yearn for more matches like this, one of my favorites so far

[stark moss]

does blood affect damage

[stark moss]

i wish damage actually worked like this

[humble harbor]

Fighting with high gore and bottom damage is fun

[fading niche]

Yea

[humble harbor]

Interesting profile picture

[fading niche]

Thank you i love it

[stark moss]

the fun:

(this is with normal damage tho)

[fading niche]

Chopped him like a tree lmao

[stark moss]

i love doing insanely fast swipes

[fading niche]

Hell yeah

[wind flume]

Was blunt damage nerfed into the dirt recvently?

Wow, as if sharp wasn't already needlessly op by comparison

Ah well, it's stil pre alpha I'll just deal lol

[verbal knot]

It's definitely not weak lol

Playing on extremely low damage personally and its quite strong

Around under the D in damage

?

Wdym impossible lol

Let me get a screenshot

Thats extremely high to most people lol

I've been scrolling through the channels a bit

[fading niche]

Nah i play it under to

[verbal knot]

I think anyone can back me up here that has 100s of hours

this is what I play on ^

[verbal knot]

This is probably the perfect damage for everything in this game

[fierce solar]

damage in goes up
damage out goes down

[verbal knot]

Hmm?

I don't understand

[wind flume]

This is what I'm playing on

[verbal knot]

So high

You literally one shot folks lol

[wind flume]

Lmao, yeah if I hit them unarmored in the head with an axe with good edge alignment,

Otherwise no

[verbal knot]

You could hit someone with a metal helmet on their head bear fisted and knock them out lol

[stark moss]

mine here

[wind flume]

Lmfao You're an idiot no you cant

[stark moss]

for max gore
damage is enough for blunt to do good damage

[verbal knot]

Whatever helps you sleep at night man

[fading niche]

No

[wind flume]

[round stone]

Attacked bros ear like he was trying to take Jesus

[stark moss]

didnt even touch it

[midnight jasper]

is it hard to mod my own weapon into the game?

[round stone]

Atoms don't touch each other and still here we are

[round stone]

But how this cut even possible

[round stone]

LMFAO

yeah but you can get the best view

[stark moss]

[stark moss]

"hop on half sword"

[vale flame]

who can help to download half sword?

[stark moss]

go to the steam page and download the demo

thats the current version

dont nerf candleholder please

nah

its anything one handed

[round stone]

This thing? Yeah it sucks

[stark moss]

ive had the hoe gojo me before

[round stone]

gojo'ed by a hoe

must have itched

[vale flame]

i should download half sword tech demo

[round stone]

There are just 2 version of half sword my brother

Just try one of the other

Using his own hoe against him

Hnmmm...

[stark moss]

this is old half sword?

[narrow oxide]

How did you get your game to look like that?

[midnight jasper]

its old!

[stark moss]

london

[round stone]

I don't think the shield works like this

[narrow oxide]

They should bring back those screams and music

[vale flame]

Who can help i press button play and it doesnt running?

[midnight jasper]

honestly i'd like something like a crosshair to keep track of hands position in 1st person view

[stark moss]

are you running on old hardware

[midnight jasper]

probably there is mods for that

[vale flame]

no

[stark moss]

if it crashes try setting dx11 in game settings

WHAT

WHERE IS THIS IN THE CURRENT BUILD

[vale flame]

lets go in voice chat

[stark moss]

cant sorry

knocked bro into next week

honestly they should make bodies lighter

knocking them around with blunt would be insanely funny to offset the sharp weapon strength

[verbal knot]

They're already pretty light

[stark moss]

nah

i wanna pick em up and slam them

without using gravity mods

[verbal knot]

Uh

You dont need gravity mods to do this...

[stark moss]

yeah but its way too hard

and you can only throw them so far

[verbal knot]

Its not that bad

[vale flame]

i sent you video

[jolly nexus]

what is the bind that i save my loadout in Half Sword Enhancer? I forgot what bind is

[gilded breach]

T by default

[jolly nexus]

k thanks

[stark moss]

yeah idk man try googling it

old blood looks better ngl it just needs physics

[jolly nexus]

nahhhh

[gilded breach]

it was best in old demo but had no phsyics

now it kinda looks like jelly

[stark moss]

they should add these old screams ngl

[gilded breach]

itch io blood doesnt look very good imo
like the color totally changes when it hits the ground

[stark moss]

they should make blood a little darker

[primal sentinel]

ok bro no need for allat yappin

[stark moss]

21

[gilded breach]

nuts

oh alright

i said it

[summer brook]

8

[gilded breach]

7

7 nuts

lmao

[stark moss]

is that more optimized than current halfsword

i mean obviously due to less content

[gilded breach]

well ye but it also looks much worse

[midnight jasper]

behold

[marsh aspen]

yall im playing half sword and i got put in full knight armor with people who have no armor

[halcyon turret]

Optimization > looks

[midnight jasper]

oh wrong reply

[stark moss]

^^^^

[midnight jasper]

anyway

[stark moss]

i think the blood looks much better

the blood in current build looks like flakes

[midnight jasper]

as you see, its possible (at least pick up part)

[halcyon turret]

I do the opposite

I go naked vs fully armored people with just my beloved "Billhook B"

[gilded breach]

best blood was in the abyss build

i dont remember how it was in playteest

[marsh aspen]

is ti a glitch or a game mechanic?

[gilded breach]

glitch

[marsh aspen]

oh

[halcyon turret]

I mean, if you're playing "brave stand" its not

if you're playing as a baron I think it also isn't?

the rest would be glitches

[gilded breach]

oh ye theres brave stand

but its prolly the fistplay bug

[stark moss]

you could spawn teams??

[gilded breach]

only up to a point tho

[halcyon turret]

no.

Fuck graphics.

[gilded breach]

yes

[stark moss]

have you seen cruelty squad

[gilded breach]

cruelty squad has its own style

[halcyon turret]

HS also has its own style lol

[stark moss]

well for a game like this it kinda needs graphics

[gilded breach]

but imagine if half sword just had white blobs with limbs and a white void

no blood and all weapons are textureless

itll run great for sure but will be very boring

[stark moss]

why isnt this in current

i would love a different map

[halcyon turret]

That's not lack of graphics, that's lack of anything

[stark moss]

current ones getting kinda stale

[stark moss]

i think the hs team should push out a fully performance oriented update instead of new content

sometime

[halcyon turret]

a "lack of graphics" would be no bloom, no weird effects, no reflections, no shadows. things you don't need to still have a perfectly functional and decent game

and I stand my ground

fuck graphics.

[stark moss]

some mercy for my 1050ti it's already been through enough 🙏

[halcyon turret]

I don't even have a graphics card.

[stark moss]

is your pc gas powered or what

[halcyon turret]

still playing fine tho (long as it's 1 on one. soon as more than one show up in armor I have to slow down time or the FPS is below 10)

[stark moss]

wait wasnt this the map in the trailer or somewhere

in one of the gameplay videos

[halcyon turret]

nah, just a Ryzen 3, 12 gigs of RAM and a dream

[primal sentinel]

we need that old candlestick thing back

[primal sentinel]

looks cool

[stark moss]

game hates having more than 1 enemy

[stark moss]

16g ram here

they should add good dueling locations

instead of an arena

[halcyon turret]

I technically have 16 gigs of ram too but 4 of them are converted to Vram

[stark moss]

imagine just dueling someone on a mountain and you can push him off

[midnight jasper]

just add proper graphic settings than "render at 360p* at low" and my soul is for HS
*exaggeration

[stark moss]

that would be insane

[gilded breach]

ye its teh same for me

[stark moss]

armor battles are boring anyway

[halcyon turret]

that only remains if they don't mess with the graphics more tho... UE5 is already optimization nightmare as it is

it's so dogshit for optim

[stark moss]

the ragdoll feels more natural in this

like usually when i drop someone in current they always fall down the same way

do you know how godly the candleholder would be with that head pop mechanic

[midnight jasper]

honestly, i kinda like them, a little bit of bughurt vibe, but with possibility of lethal damage

[stark moss]

pop

took his head off like a pvz zombie

that blood feels so much better now that i look more into it

does the old version also have first person?

[midnight jasper]

ooooh blood is good, they could tweak a bit physics and how drops look and that would be golden

i forgot how blood looks in demo

uh

[true walrus]

how do you guys change maps?

[midnight jasper]

as i understand, its old playtest version. steam demo doesn't have maps other than arena and the abyss

[gilded breach]

its even older than the playtest

[naive iron]

RAHHHH ONE HANDED

[gilded breach]

its from like 2-3 years ago

[midnight jasper]

falling looks also good woah

[stark moss]

half sword fell off....

[naive iron]

If this was now that enemy would've just surrendered after being stabbed :(

[stark moss]

dismemberment doesnt feel as smooth

even on high gore

[naive iron]

what uh- what does small red triangle mean-

[stone flare]

any news about half sword on console or it will just never exist?

[midnight jasper]

feels like in demo, ragdolls affected by procedural animation more

by the looks of it

but eh im not an expert

[naive iron]

how do you play that version of half sword?

[midnight jasper]

just like to at least try and analyze things

[verbal knot]

Spin kick death

[stark moss]

tornado blade kick

i love this 2018 horror game ass music lmao

[stone flare]

i agree on that

[stark moss]

goliath is a banger tho

[stark moss]

oh lord

where do you get the old build btw

[fierce solar]

||-# nice||

[stark moss]

that is NOT willie

[naive iron]

the .io halfsword feels so easy-

[stark moss]

the aurafarm tho

[naive iron]

idk if its more fun, i do enjoy the playtest

i just want the AI to not give up, or at least have that be an option

sometimes in carnage they just GGWP immediately kekw

[wind charm]

this is aura farming

[stark moss]

yup

[stark moss]

god damn that timing

[naive iron]

wait i can sitll fight after losing a hand, its PEAK

[stark moss]

half sword should really have an adrenaline bar

just like abyss

build

[naive iron]

hes still trying bro

why cant we have this in playtest :(

[stark moss]

honestly the swords dont feel very sharp in this game most of the time

i know bones are a thing but

come on man

[naive iron]

really? Ive had moments when ive tapped or been tapped and been cleaved in half

[stark moss]

yeah but not that satisfying the sword just stops but the head comes off

sword shouldve went right through

[odd kiln]

chat is this move historically accurate?

[stray pivot]

Less than 3 days ago

[stray pivot]

No, gore effects how often dismemberment happens, blood effects blood and liquids, damage to npc effect how much it takes to kill the npc

[naive iron]

in the .io we can pick our full gear, but not in the playtest i wonder why

[midnight jasper]

and as i understand, for dismemberment you still need to deal enough damage to a limb\body for it to cut off?

what does it hinder then

whos the strongest character willie half sword can beat under these conditions

1. base form beggar tier, just punching and kicking
2. beggar tier, now wielding candlestick
3. the baron
4. fully armored, no weapons but with hands rigidity up, infinite stamina, immortality, body tonus, can change gravity, can dash, no pain, infinite consciousness (i.e strongest possible willie)

[midnight jasper]

uh.... only i hate when game says "you are dead... fool" but you see that your willie is standing fine!

why...

Halfsword Detroit update

[wheat leaf]

does anyone know if theres a certain way i should be swinging to avoid just changing guards instead of attacking? like for instance ill try to wind up for an overhead swing, but itll just drop into a low guard instead of attacking

might just need more precise movements but im wondering if theres more of a technique to it ig

[fierce solar]

auto assist cant be disabled afik
best thing you can do is stay ahead of which hemisphere you are rotating in/towards/willie is attacking from

[wheat leaf]

how do you mean? for the latter half

[rain tusk]

So, quick question, is it normal for me to be the Baron in fist play??

[fierce solar]

if youre rotating counter or clockwise -- there seems to be an influence as to how auto assist likes to choose based not only off of the swing willie is doing, but the stance you're in as well as the side you're trying to use

requires practice with it/some intuition, explaining doesn't do it much justice since i dont know exactly how it behaves but all i do is ripostes/parrying with estoc and this is my findings for now

[wheat gust]

guy kept attacking me whilst i tried to get a weapon thanks to my knife gettign stuck and hidden inside someone's neck so i had to lowkey do a finisher on him

[wheat leaf]

still good information to have thank you, ill try to look more into stance as ive just been focusing on sword position before and after swings kinda

im thinking i have to be more mindful of how far i wind back, like if im in a forward guard itll just rotate guard positions rather than swing the sword, but when drawing back i might still be getting caught in that 'guard' area

[fierce solar]

also, something else I've noticed with it - if you stay stagnate, it will choose for you

[wheat leaf]

that applies for just the forward 'neutral' guards kinda right? just adjusts it to block swings kinda

[fierce solar]

all swings, sometimes it'll just outright drop your guard or choose the wrong one
the trick (for me) is to stay ahead of it by rotating my guard at a slow-medium speed towards the side willie will be swinging from

[wheat leaf]

also noticing more that the weapons momentum has a lot to do with it, like im practicing with greatsword which tends to swing around a lot after the strike or guard movement

need to pause and reset where i want the weapon to move from before initiating i think

[fierce solar]

idk if youve also noticed, but depending on how violent/fast you had been swinging, you lose the ability to hold the stances as long because the game is bugged and it requires a match reset

or that the stances change because of some other bs related

if i cant get a small batch of good ripostes in asap/before this happens i just wipe willie up rq and go next

[quartz bough]

special martial arts

[wheat leaf]

just to clarify stance being mostly just which leg is forward right?

[quartz bough]

kick a long stick to develop speed

[fierce solar]

stance for me is whichever guard i am using

[lapis marsh]

Jojo pose

[fierce solar]

woman, fenestra, sinestra, ox, etc

[wheat leaf]

shiet i gotta relearn my stances lmao i used to know those

[wheat gust]

Fenestra? aint that window in italian

[wheat leaf]

and what is woman stance-

[fierce solar]

i dont think this game has sinestra/woman

it has overheads, but idk how that translates into guard

[fierce solar]

yeppers

[wheat leaf]

oh yeah def dont think thats in the game really

[runic niche]

stances? yall MIGHT be mad

i just swing my sword and hit those nasty shots 🤣

[wheat gust]

leg filet

[jolly gorge]

left hand grip is so fun

[wheat leaf]

can be fun to try and setup legit counters n such

[wheat leaf]

i tend to use tailguard and highguard most i think

both together actually make a good combo, from tail swing to high, and chop down at the head or shoulder

[vernal pewter]

my games bugged i think lol

ive died like 5 times but my characters stayed the same

[fierce solar]

Zenghi to deal with underhands, rotating between Fenestra for overhands and horizontals through dropping down to Longa for thrusts as well because it lets me access that triangle/attack pattern without breaking willie's arms for me

Basically lets me do what you're mentioning with overhead chops

I've been into the half sword dagger lately

They're making it more fun

yea been playing video games forever
got tired of doing the ape shit ages ago

if you like being a monkey tho, you do you brother 🙂

[runic niche]

ape shit 💔

its not that hard just swing the sword gng

[dire moon]

That's more mace territory

[fierce solar]

any sword fight in full armor xD

[runic niche]

how tf does every videogame require u to know every sword technique

[mental kelp]

Nah brother, its all about the golden ratio into the fermi paradox

[dire moon]

Once it's multiplayer we will see the difference between swinging for fences and technical use

[runic niche]

sword fighting games boring af ngl

halfsword is the only decent one

[fierce solar]

it doesnt, im just enjoying the fencing sim because mordhau and etc arent that
this is niche and its fun to grug every now and then just not my style

[runic niche]

i dont just swing my sword around like an ape i try to parry by halfswordin

[wheat leaf]

how many hours can a mf spend just swingin at em

[runic niche]

uh

mods

[fierce solar]

parrying with half sword is training wheels mode

[dire moon]

I found it.
I enjoy the idea but I knife fight in both styles

[wheat leaf]

as in you can do that ingame or do you mean irl knife fighting-

how the frick are you icepick gripping in this game

[dire moon]

https://tenor.com/view/knife-fight-gif-26616020

This but this second picture is more choreography dancing

[dire moon]

No u can not

In game

They should make it an option like how u hold halfsword

I think your post mentioned it

[wheat leaf]

exactly

[dire moon]

It sounds like a good idea I like it

But I would enjoy having the option of both instead of the two hand grip we get

[wheat leaf]

purely as a way to use the dagger effectively against plate armor, lighter armored enemies can still be taken out pretty quick if you know how to

[vernal pewter]

how can i kill my characer, everytime i die i just respawn. i wanna change factions lol

[dire moon]

Probably quicker than most weapons. A good stance and timing for the swing and it's over

[wooden socket]

guys how trall and heavy is willie

[wheat leaf]

but would that apply to any Tier above like 5-6?

[random flume]

Good ol head bash

[dire moon]

That's the problem rn is it doesn't do well

It becomes a wrestle match to take them down and then I stab the joints.
It's fuckin brutal

But sometimes, I think one fight was to a point I got bored. I like the idea a lot u make

[wheat leaf]

the dagger works great atm just not against anything above T6 id say, youd have to get very lucky even in extremely favorable positioning to get a kill with it

[dire moon]

Yea tbh thinking about it u r right it's sort of not fun anymore

I was trying for around 12 mins and it was just kinda like
Fuss this I'm gonna give up already

[wheat leaf]

youd be better off just full grappling

[dire moon]

You're right

[wheat leaf]

which is what i think most players would do in that scenario, i dont think anyone willingly goes for the dagger in t8 after losing the secondary weapon

[random flume]

I HATE HIM

[wheat gust]

willies have 2 rows of teeth

[dire moon]

I do feel pretty op with the knife up to that point tho. It's basically just footwork and jab, over

And it seems like when I'm wearing armor and use the knife I'm slower and harder to move.

[wheat leaf]

It seems to have a lighter impact on plate helmets than the fist, like I can knockout with a punch but no way I’ll knock out with a dagger

[dire moon]

Yeah I've noticed this as well? It seems the hands r stronger than most weapons

[wheat leaf]

Games still beta though, maybe it’s something already planned for in future updates

[dire moon]

Almost on par with a mace??

[wheat leaf]

They have that blunt impact boost I’d guess

[dire moon]

Not literally maybe but I mean fuss

[dire moon]

Now I have to choose
Halfsword or beamng

[wheat leaf]

You ever try automation with beamng

[dire moon]

That was nice. Circle toward the shield and come over the top try?

[random flume]

how come youre full b lack

[dire moon]

No I hear it's cool tho.

[mental kelp]

I dont like the game being left centric all the time, no reason to strike and move right at the same time cause it just makes it hard to see, but then it makes the duels look bad cause you just move around them left and left and left

[dire moon]

I beam with a wheel setup. I also do some assetto corsa

All the drive Sims with the wheel is a ton of fun

[wheat leaf]

No way me too! I play mostly all assetto

[wheat leaf]

Beamng is fun for shits and giggles

[wheat leaf]

[dire moon]

I like for just cruising w a friend and for the off-road and exploring aspect

[wheat leaf]

That’s true the off-road has come a long way in beam

[dire moon]

Funny I'm glad we talked about it

Beams off-road is amazing. Love the racing and the crawling or just cruising

[wheat leaf]

I’m mostly glad they keep updating the game though for how old beamng really is, most devs would’ve moved on by now

[dire moon]

It's a great stress reliever and sometimes nice when I'm cooking or just having a chill day.
I'm a dork tho. Sometimes I just get in the car and go to a restaurant while I make coffee and breakfast irl, then cruise from there

[dire moon]

I consider that often. I wonder what $ gain they receive for all the har work

[wheat leaf]

Hahaha I love it that’s such a chill way to use the sims

[dire moon]
