Marvel Rivals

[shell current]

hehhehe

[lucid jasper]

Waves the threat of buying her the gold colored Black Cat recolor at Mac like I’m warding away evil

[fiery aspen]

[fiery aspen]

No please

There's a specific cruelty to wasting your money on a skin I am never in my life going to consider using

[lucid jasper]

That’s why I threaten it

[fiery aspen]

help

[fiery aspen]

[lucid jasper]

Yummy looking

[fiery aspen]

okay then, I love you so much I won't send you a Luna skin yet at this moment

[lucid jasper]

I don’t like that yet, Mac.

[fiery aspen]

I'm pretty sure it's an unrefined chunk of metal, but whatever floats your boat

[fiery aspen]

You don't like me not buying you a Luna skin? Okay then

[lucid jasper]

OI

NOT WHAT I MEANT

[fiery aspen]

Giggling

[lucid jasper]

X-PRESS JUICE EMOTE, MAC, JUICE EMOTE

[fiery aspen]

Wait no

we can talk this out

[lucid jasper]

[fiery aspen]

I'm getting so slow 😔

Last double boss before 300

My weapon still sucks and I can't get a good one 😔

I might need to start moving to win at this point

[lucid jasper]

Pfft

Sobbing

[fiery aspen]

Had to use a revive on 280 :( (capwolf is Thor's worst matchup, followed by Ratatoskr. Guess which two bosses spawned!)

[lucid jasper]

Pat Pat

Mac you probably have so many revives

[fiery aspen]

Only like 70!

Because I splurged 30 of them today

It costs 3 per revive

[lucid jasper]

Ooh I see

Well uhh

I can’t come up with an argument to make using them seem like a good thing fuck

Surely it has a limit to how many you can store. If you never use them you’re wasting potential future revives

[fiery aspen]

I was at 100 (cap)

I must return

[lucid jasper]

Damn

[fiery aspen]

21 legendaries in one wave?????

[shell current]

@fiery aspen

[fiery aspen]

one sec in match

[shell current]

oki

-# fyi i didnt even clear nightmare 1 so this might take a while

[lucid jasper]

….Sonolo

[shell current]

:)

I FORGOT THE GAME MODE EVEN EXISTED

[lucid jasper]

I don’t know how far I got

[fiery aspen]

I used another one on 290 😔

My build is simply not good enough anymore

[lucid jasper]

But that’s like asking someone to help you paint a wall and then showing up with the supplies to build a house

[fiery aspen]

heh, little damage

[fiery aspen]

I think you can join my nightmare 160 party

regardless

[shell current]

IT CAN GO IN THE QUATILIONS?!

[fiery aspen]

Apparently

[shell current]

hope fully

-# that was a typo, but i'll leave it like that cus silly

[fiery aspen]

Nevermind

Okay so we lock in

[lucid jasper]

Recount to me the tales of how squishy he is

[shell current]

yeaaaaaah

[lucid jasper]

I almost just she/her-ed Sonolo

[fiery aspen]

Will do

We are experiencing riveting gameplay

[shell current]

truly

[lucid jasper]

I wish I could help (I wouldn’t be helpful at all) but I have to “go to dinner”

Which is lowkey breakfast for me but whatever

[shell current]

we are just stretching our legs, ngl

[fiery aspen]

You're welcome to join later if you want

Your help would carry

[shell current]

rly thought i was about to be mvp in that last one 😔

[lucid jasper]

For sure!

[fiery aspen]

It was close

[lucid jasper]

Depends on how long dinner will take, we are “visiting family for dinner”

[fiery aspen]

No worries

[fiery aspen]

Mhm

[lucid jasper]

I’d love to gamer but also my grandmother might be utterly horrified by Rivals so I’m not going to try and bring the ps5 to her house

[fiery aspen]

Yee no pressure

[lucid jasper]

Can you imagine introducing the concept of marvel rivals to my grandmother

I think I value her and my safety too much for that

[fiery aspen]

Yeah fair

[fiery aspen]

I cannot

[lucid jasper]

My grandmother is a badass but she is not a nerdy badass or a video game badass

[fiery aspen]

For the record Sonolo has 0 damage, he hasn't been able to land a hit

Also hasn't been hit

Omg he got one

[lucid jasper]

Giggling

[shell current]

i am GAMING

[fiery aspen]

teamwork makes the dream work

[lucid jasper]

Carrying fr fr

[fiery aspen]

I like how I can just be in another window

Thor build is so interesting

[shell current]

technically so can i with my ult

[fiery aspen]

@shell current

?

[shell current]

ye

[fiery aspen]

this is actually the season 2 one

I forgot which I had equipped

but yeah

[shell current]

[fiery aspen]

you get them for gm+

[shell current]

oooh i see

i barely touch ranked, so that explains that

[lucid jasper]

God I need to lock in on ranked this season

I wanna start playing again

I wish I had a duo though, the company would be nice

Eh

[shell current]

i would love to do ranked with friends ngl, but i dont know enough people to do that

[fiery aspen]

I haven't played a single match this season lol

I played ranked to gm because my duo loved ranked

He doesn't play anymore

[lucid jasper]

I know people but they’re all on pc and I am stuck on console :<

[shell current]

i mean, the game does allow crossplay

[lucid jasper]

I swear I can handle the lobbies we’d be in together Rivals, I can handle it

[lucid jasper]

Not for ranked

[fiery aspen]

Not in ranked

Unfortunately

[lucid jasper]

I can play quick play with Mac but not ranked

[shell current]

it doesnt?! i was so sure it did

[fiery aspen]

You are so much better than pc silver players

The devs are just evil

You should be able to opt in for harder matches lol

[fiery aspen]

Nope, same device only for ranked

[shell current]

that's some bs

[fiery aspen]

yeah 😔

[lucid jasper]

Mhm :<

[fiery aspen]

[lucid jasper]

I swears devs

I can keep up

[fiery aspen]

@shell current I don't think the cap is 60

[shell current]

i see

[fiery aspen]

gave me like 1m more shards

more than I expected for low level gear

even if there's 1251 of it (excluding locked stuff)

92k of the new currency is beautiful

HOW MANY MAG MATCHES DID I PLAY HELP

1 match lol

that makes sense

[lucid jasper]

Oh my god that’s beautiful

[shell current]

lmao

[fiery aspen]

my honour has been stained

I must lock in on solo tank jail

[lucid jasper]

God you would be such a good tank/support duo (sorrowful)

[fiery aspen]

😔

it would be so funn

[lucid jasper]

It wouldddd

[fiery aspen]

maybe they update it some day

or they're just homophobic

[lucid jasper]

✅

[shell current]

rivals devs HATE yaoi

yuri*

wrong one

[fiery aspen]

fr

except when it's Luna and White Fox, we decided that their accessory descriptions are definitely gay

[lucid jasper]

✅ ✅ ✅

[shell current]

tbf, they would delete the entire game for luna

[lucid jasper]

Oh my god

Sonolo is one of them Mac

[fiery aspen]

Kill him

[shell current]

NO NOT AGAI-

https://tenor.com/view/cavif-cavifax-gif-3330778137757269524

[fiery aspen]

I played Luna when people would yell at you for throwing by playing her, I do not forget this period as easily as the people saying Luna has always been server admin

the only concession I will make is that her bugged teamup is ridiculous

[shell current]

i barely play luna, cus my aim sucks lmao

[lucid jasper]

On it

[fiery aspen]

She's a lot of fun

Learning Luna was my aim train arc

Now, I'm mediocre instead of actively throwing on a hitscan

[lucid jasper]

I’m okayyy with aim

[shell current]

i never play hit scan characters when im expected to actually hit a shot lmao

i play elsa cus no one can aim with her anyways

[fiery aspen]

Aren't you also a Deadpool player

[shell current]

yep

:)

[fiery aspen]

I fear an Elsa that can actually aim

[shell current]

funny lord icon

[fiery aspen]

I see

you're lord Deadpool??

[shell current]

soon

im at 19/20

[fiery aspen]

Or you use his spinny thing to get value

[fiery aspen]

damn nice

[shell current]

that's what i meant yes

[fiery aspen]

I'm on 19/20 on mag

[shell current]

idk what the ability's called lmao

[fiery aspen]

I think

[lucid jasper]

I’ve only got two lords, I need moreeee

[fiery aspen]

Maybe 18

[shell current]

i got 1 lol

[fiery aspen]

I have um. 6 lords? 😭 Rocket, Dagger, Invis, Luna, Jeff, Groot (in order)

[lucid jasper]

I’ve got Invis and Luna lord- I’ll probably eventually get a tank one? Presumably Mag. Also trying to get WF and Jubes lorded but I’m not mean enough to steal them constantly…

[fiery aspen]

You shouldddd

If it helps neither of them are great this season, or at least the pros don't like them

So you should be free to grab em

[lucid jasper]

I really love how White Fox feels to play specifically

God I wanna be playing her right now

[fiery aspen]

She's REALLY fun

Her teamups just generally suck

[lucid jasper]

I don’t like her team ups

[shell current]

the only tank i've been playing this season has been like emma and dp

[fiery aspen]

I just play old reliable Mag, although Strange is super good and I've filled as him a little

Peni is also just as amazing as the first time she had the teamup

Mag is my favourite though, Emma teamup feels amazing to use

[shell current]

i never got good with mag, so i just avoid him by playing emma, giving a barrier like mag and getting cc stuns with her grab

[lucid jasper]

In theory Psylocke’s team up giving better tail management would be helpful, but like, it’s not. You should be on top of that shit regardless, the benefit it gives me is minimal if any

[fiery aspen]

yeah fair

He took me a LONG time to feel good on

[fiery aspen]

Yeah- it sounds better than it is. I've not really noticed a difference

[shell current]

tbf im learning bc rn so i probably wont learn him for a good while lmao

[lucid jasper]

I haven’t played as much this season as I would have liked, but I’m usually in Mag jail when I tank, sometimes Emma

[fiery aspen]

It also makes her skill expression less which is half the fun

[lucid jasper]

I wish I got to play Peni this season but I haven’t yet

[lucid jasper]

YEAH

[fiery aspen]

The Cat ability is bad but I guess it's worth using

[fiery aspen]

Yeah fair lol

[lucid jasper]

I just kinda hate Cat so I haven’t turned it on

[fiery aspen]

I won't spam Mag propaganda, he's hard to learn and just really satisfying and powerful when you get him down

But high skill floor to not suck

[lucid jasper]

I still feel not great with him a lot of the time tbh

And I’m not a half bad tank

[fiery aspen]

If you fill tank and don't want to learn Mag, you're better on Strange

[fiery aspen]

That's fairrr

[fiery aspen]

Valid

It's just a generic aoe healing and damage projectile burst

I like to use it when my other support is getting dove

[lucid jasper]

Ugh

[fiery aspen]

You are a good tank

[lucid jasper]

Sorry you talking about it reminded me of Black Cat sobbing

[fiery aspen]

Mag is just a very tricky character to get down and enjoy

HELP I'm sorry

[lucid jasper]

:DD

I try

Sometimes I succeed

[fiery aspen]

More often than many tanks I see

[lucid jasper]

Like the game the other day that ranked me up to gold after like several seasons of barely if ever touching ranked

Sigh… I long to be carrying ranked game

[fiery aspen]

Born to be a dps main /lying but forced to be a support main

[lucid jasper]

HELP

Maybe someday I’ll get to play DPS enough to get good at it…

[fiery aspen]

just because I find it funny, @shell current check out how many pages of blood hunt there are

[fiery aspen]

You might just have to instalock a bit

[shell current]

:) oh god

[fiery aspen]

if you wait for everyone else to lock, you're never gonna play dps

[lucid jasper]

I feel so meannnn thoooooo

[fiery aspen]

this is bad traits but how did I get such an ungodly high rating item playing with you in nightmare 80

[lucid jasper]

I feel mean even when I instalock a support or tank tho

[shell current]

tbf, most reasonable players will just switch off to supp or tank to fill in

[fiery aspen]

What if I tell you to instalock and it's my fault

You have done a lifetime of filling

You can play dps a little

[lucid jasper]

My brain is breaking

[fiery aspen]

Learn one dps compared to your other billion characters

[fiery aspen]

[lucid jasper]

Only like uhh- seven? Seven and a half? Seasons worth! I don’t remember when I joined.

[fiery aspen]

I'm glad we agree

[lucid jasper]

You think I’m only gonna live for seven seasons? :<

[fiery aspen]

No

No

I do think that seven seasons is already longer than most players will stick with the game

You're doing good

[lucid jasper]

Hmmm…

See the thing is

[fiery aspen]

Ben Grimm

[lucid jasper]

I fear usually a rivals lobby has exactly three people who will play support or tank max, and one of them is me- HELP

[fiery aspen]

Then lock dps, and if the timer ends and you're fully in and have 4 dps, you're allowed to switch /silly

[lucid jasper]

I’ll always have four DPS

/silly

I had a comp game where we started with four DPS and two supports and nobody saw the problem with that for longer than it should have taken

[fiery aspen]

You definitely will if you always fill support or tank /silly

[lucid jasper]

Damn,,,

[fiery aspen]

I built a new weapon with +1200% boss damage :D

[lucid jasper]

[fiery aspen]

Hi

[lucid jasper]

You’re so cool

[warm fjord]

i agree

[fiery aspen]

Almost as cool as you

[warm fjord]

i agree

[lucid jasper]

Whoa,,,

[fiery aspen]

beat nightmare 260 with Jeff too, forgot to screenshot

So that's another hundred units

I spent all my savings and his build is kinda mediocre so I'm not certain who I'll invest in next. Maybe SG as full support

[lucid jasper]

Woagh

I can’t wait for you to carry me later /silly

[fiery aspen]

I am so excited to carry you /silly

[lucid jasper]

[hidden spindle]

True

[shell current]

0% acc

even I can't get that low

[lucid jasper]

Dear god

Was that a last minute switch?

It resets your accuracy when you swap characters

So if they were something else and then swapped Invis pretty quick right before it ended that makes sense

[shell current]

Ohhh yup, just checked they were gambit up until the end

Makes more sense now lmao

[lucid jasper]

I solved the puzzle!

My rivals knowledge comes in clutch

I should lowkey play today…

[shell current]

dew it

the game's awesome

[lucid jasper]

I miss being yelled at by my 2-3 Spidey to heal him more 😔

[shell current]

play sg, that way no one complains about you, cus no one knows what you're doing in the first place

[lucid jasper]

Respectfully

I’d rather eat dirt

Unrelated

I am being convinced to try and download and play Rivals on the ps4

[shell current]

hmm about you do both? eat dirt while playing sg

[lucid jasper]

The way most squirrel girl mains play, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they’re doing

[shell current]

Can confirm, i do

[lucid jasper]

HELP

[void birch]

will a 0-6 Spidey yelling to heal you be satisfactory?

I could do that

[lucid jasper]

Oooh… it just might be…

If I’m playing with you though I may need to swap off the ps4 and onto the ps5

This thing does NOT play well

[void birch]

woa

[lucid jasper]

I gave it a try, and my one singular game was… not as bad as I thought but still bad

Not sure how much I blame the system and how much I blame us having four DPS almost the whole game?

[void birch]

i was mainly being silly but I did promise I'd play roblox with fern today and I think that is still planned

perhap tmrw?? I could play longer anyway

[lucid jasper]

Thumbs upppp

[void birch]

if you want to join us on silly roblox game you can

[lucid jasper]

I am not downloading Roblox and I never will, I fear

[void birch]

Pftt

I respect you for that

[lucid jasper]

My heart says frens, my morals and dignity say ew

I am still using this excuse to get off the ps4 tho

[void birch]

roblox as a platform is

something

[lucid jasper]

Yep

[void birch]

Or well specifically the corporate moderation

The actual idea behind it is really really cool

It just

the execution

was

literally its hard to get worse

[lucid jasper]

Yeppp

[void birch]

sigh

[lucid jasper]

@fiery aspen Maccccc what do I do when Kingpin uses his big implosion?

[fiery aspen]

It is dps check, get in the orb so you can hit him, and then you just have to do enough damage to cancel it. Same with Dracula's heal ritual thingy

[lucid jasper]

Ahh

So just die, got it

[fiery aspen]

If you can't cancel it, it kinda just means you need better levels/traits/gear or a team

[lucid jasper]

I haven’t been able to cancel it yet- I’m assuming it’s a level and gear issue

And maybe a character issue

[fiery aspen]

[lucid jasper]

For some reason past me started by leveling up SG and I’m kinda stuck on her unless I wanna grind for past characters which sounds LAME as hell right now

I’m mostly just trying to get far enough you don’t have to grind through a ton of levels when you inevitably need to carry me

[fiery aspen]

SG is great support but will definitely struggle a lot solo. Focus on the- whatever the path that ISN'T squirrel friends is. Orange path? It has a bit better damage. You can also dip into blue for a few levels to get more vulnerability via squirrel friends, but that might be too much investment early

[fiery aspen]

I genuinely don't mind, but feel free to play it yourself if you want

[lucid jasper]

I don’t know what I’m doing I’m just pressing buttons

That’s gotten me up through level 15 now though

Which is… not actually that far

[fiery aspen]

Blood hunt is kinda just pressing a lot of buttons until the numbers look nice

I believe in you

[fiery aspen]

Level 15 sg or nightmare 15? Neither is bad, just curious

[lucid jasper]

I want to play Moon Knight but he does… no damage with the investment he has

[lucid jasper]

Nightmare 15

SG issss- level 36

MK is level 21, Punisher level 6, everyone else level 1 pfft

[fiery aspen]

The punchy mk is a pretty solid solo build, although yeah levels are a pain. I dunno if you're getting the xp teardrop things but they might help? I'm not sure how much they do, I already had my levels maxed when they were added unfortunately

Do NOT go ankh mk early, he is great in endgame and ranges from unusable to barely usable before that

[fiery aspen]

That is far!

okay I need to pass out fr but I will answer any questions in the morning

[lucid jasper]

Ah, that may have been my problem with him then

Or his shitty gear

[fiery aspen]

Yeahh, that would do it

I think he also got significantly nerfed recently

[lucid jasper]

I AM getting the teardrops but not really enough to level up to where I am fast enough

So I’d have to go back and grind the weaker characters up on previous levels

And like… I don’t wanna

[fiery aspen]

Fair enough

Sg can absolutely work, just a little harder to build

[lucid jasper]

I also have that one battlepass MK skin which would be so much more fun to look at while I slaughter vampires

But sad sigh

I don’t wanna grind more

At least not right now

I think I was legit at nightmare zero before this? Or whatever

However

I have gotten enough units from grinding Ultron and Vampires that I’m going to buy myself the Luna skin to prevent Mac’s evil nature from gifting it to me

[shell current]

just gimme the silly dino already

[fiery aspen]

NOOOO

[lucid jasper]

:]

[fiery aspen]

sigh, guess I gotta find something else to send you

some people would think it's a shame that all the remaining options are probably more expensive, but I don't mind!

[lucid jasper]

Wait what

No

Bad Mac

[fiery aspen]

:D

I can't wait to browse the store

[lucid jasper]

Evil

That’s what you are

[fiery aspen]

I feel so seen!

I'm feeling so grateful that I really want to send you a skin of thanks

[lucid jasper]

Tomato

Tomato of rage and injustice at your face

[fiery aspen]

I LOVE tomatoes

Thank you so much

I should return the favour of giving wonderful gifts

[lucid jasper]

Fuck

Uhm

Throwing 20 pilots at you

[fiery aspen]

what happened to the other 1 pilots /ref

it's okay, I know you're not a fan of them and I appreciate the attempt! it was almost there!

[lucid jasper]

…I’m trying

They are growing on me

BUT IT WAS MEANT TO BE HATEFUL

[fiery aspen]

🥹

[fiery aspen]

I love you too!

[lucid jasper]

…grumble grumble

Love you more but also fuck you

[fiery aspen]

Woah, I dunno about that

But also fuck you too, beams hadestown into your head

[lucid jasper]

Owwwwwwwww

[fiery aspen]

Share my Pain

[lucid jasper]

You couldn’t even Wait For Me to wake up :<

[fiery aspen]

I will not wait to Chant at you

[lucid jasper]

That’s a dark and twisted Road To Hell, missy

[fiery aspen]

If it's True, I'll accept my fate

[lucid jasper]

Fuck

I mean uhm

You might end up Building A Wall separating you from the people you love

[fiery aspen]

You're right... Gone, I'm Gone from behind the wall

[lucid jasper]

https://klipy.com/gifs/explosion-cat-1

[fiery aspen]

Wait no don't explode, I don't want you to leave for How Long[?] that'd imply

[lucid jasper]

Too late

I already Turned Around and exploded

[fiery aspen]

Is that an actual song?

[lucid jasper]

No, I’m just tired and evil

[fiery aspen]

Hi just tired and evil, I'm mac

[lucid jasper]

Mmmm

I don’t buy that

[fiery aspen]

I buy it for you and gift it to you

Like

Like in Marvel Rivals

[lucid jasper]

N O

[shell current]

do it

[lucid jasper]

I can’t even retaliate anymore cuz I fucking used my lattice on the Luna skin to try and stop you

[fiery aspen]

My evil

Unchecked

Except by my desire to not upset you 😔 that part is kinda inconvenient

[lucid jasper]

Pffft
