[obtuse dawn]

Granted Larian did incorporate a lot of them via gift bags

[candid edge]

I’m torn between second BG3 playthru or DOS2

God there’s so much to play!!!

And so little time

[obtuse dawn]

DOS2 is an experience.

[somber pumice]

Yup, DoS 2 is awesome, I mean, in what other game could you be an Undead Dwarf and kill your enemies by drinking health potions and sharing damage with them

[obtuse dawn]

Characters are great too

[candid edge]

I heard it’s funnier

[light pilot]

DOS2 is too linear 😄

[obtuse dawn]

WHAT

[somber pumice]

Seriously though don't miss on Wasteland 3, the game is super good and has plenty of different paths

[candid edge]

Hot take. I kinda like linear

I kinda really dislike the world is your oyster go explore

Like BOTW and shit

Used to my JRPG rails

[obtuse dawn]

It's not as open choice as BG3 but it also offers a TON of adventure

Saying it's linear

[candid edge]

I’ll take a look

[obtuse dawn]

There is so much shit to do in DOS II

[light pilot]

not much choice as bg3

[obtuse dawn]

Well no. But it's not "too linear" either

[light pilot]

act1, there are only 3 ways to pass fort joy

[obtuse dawn]

Fifth act is linear but so is BG3 act 3

So

[light pilot]

yep but act3 they cut UPPER CITY !!!

[obtuse dawn]

Still is linear

[light pilot]

unacceptable

[obtuse dawn]

And by linear I mean theres still a fuck ton of choice

Just like DOS II

If ya'll never played DOS II you're in for a treat

[somber pumice]

wut

there's a lot more ways

[light pilot]

glove, tunnel, balcony

what more?

[somber pumice]

boat

[obtuse dawn]

ANYA SCHOOLING HOOT

LETS GO

[somber pumice]

when you talk to the magisters after doing their quest

[obtuse dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/sml-jackie-chu-welcome-back-to-school-back-to-school-school-gif-22720989

[light pilot]

boat under the fort where the other way where you fight with the boss?

[obtuse dawn]

Plus Fort Joy is like.. what? 10% of the game? 😄

If that

[somber pumice]

I don't remember them all cuz it's been a long time since i played the game but there's definitely more than 3

[light pilot]

im sure there are only 3

[obtuse dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-sorprendido-shaquille-oneal-gif-23222312

[light pilot]

if you get glove you can escape anywhere

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot can't be wrong

IMPOSSIBLE

[light pilot]

I can be wrong 😄

It've been too long

[obtuse dawn]

There are 5 ways

Anya right

[light pilot]

without using glove?

[obtuse dawn]

||https://www.pcgamer.com/divinity-original-sin-2-fort-joy-walkthrough/||

And again, Fort Joy is 5-10% of the game so

So much exploring

Hoot went real quiet

[shy mesa]

Ok.

I stand corrected.

[sturdy field]

Mom can we have a bear at home - But we have a bear at home - Bear at home:

[obtuse dawn]

I actually know that abcnews inaccurately reports these kind of things

So I'm going to just say it's a bear because I don't trust the "media"

[obsidian geyser]

they are payed by big BAER?

[obtuse dawn]

Maybe. Show me the DNA evidence.

Do it.

Show me it.

[obsidian geyser]

poor puppy

[obsidian geyser]

gotta chill

[obtuse dawn]

Thats a god damn bear

[obtuse dawn]

even oxez says its a bear.

[sturdy field]

I said no such thing

[obtuse dawn]

I remember when this news article came out, 2016. Jesus.

Why does that feel like 30 years ago

[sturdy field]

oh damn I just realized an interesting fact

I was born in 1987, there are 23 years before Y2K, and 23 years after

actually, that's not even right

I can't do math today

[obsidian geyser]

you are 46

[sturdy field]

why did I think 87+23 = 100

[obsidian geyser]

quick math

[obtuse dawn]

Oh shit this made me laugh

[sturdy field]

I'm gonna go do a spot check on my work today on our gitlab lmao

[obtuse dawn]

[obtuse dawn]

I SWEAR IF SOMEONE ASKS IF THEY WANT US TO VOTE FOR THEM BEING A SOFT DADDY

[vapid kraken]

[sturdy field]

I studied one year of math at university

that's scary

[obsidian geyser]

[obsidian geyser]

not like you use numbers anyway

[vapid kraken]

[obtuse dawn]

Nah, this chat is purely designed for @sturdy field to hate on blizzard games

[sturdy field]

[obsidian geyser]

[obtuse dawn]

I was born in 84.

Sooo

I'm like your grandfathers

[sturdy field]

bitch all you did was play with legos a little bit earlier than we did

[obtuse dawn]

90s was a wonderful era. Oh how I miss it.

[obtuse dawn]

Hahaha I hate legos too.

[vapid kraken]

not old enough to be mine

[shy mesa]

Time compression.

Minutes feeling like seconds.

Hours feeling like minutes.

[obtuse dawn]

REMEMBER getting the little game slip at Toys R Us and bringing it to the front counter?!

[candid edge]

Do you guys go on those 90s and 2000s nostalgia trips

[obtuse dawn]

REMEMBER

[shy mesa]

Days feeling like a few hours.

[candid edge]

I watched a big commercials compilation a while back

[sturdy field]

We all grew up blowing air in NES cartridges to make them work right

[shy mesa]

I'm from the late 1980s. 😦

[obtuse dawn]

All the gd time. I find myself telling zoomers like @lunar mirage about the 90s and they give zero fucks.

[shy mesa]

Gameboy.

[vapid kraken]

i remeber going to toys r us and racing round in the go karts

[sturdy field]

Yeah I played the shit out of mario land and link's awakening :D

[shy mesa]

First gameboy game was Super Mario Land 1.

[sturdy field]

Yep same!

[shy mesa]

• Tetris and Ishido

[candid edge]

I think I got gameboy for Pokémon

[obtuse dawn]

Remember when Best Buy would have the GIANT screens playing Mario 64 to the store?

[shy mesa]

I had FRENCH Link's Awakening. ;P

[candid edge]

I was too busy playing consoles

[shy mesa]

A rarity.

[obsidian geyser]

oh shit yea its out

[sturdy field]

Dude, I also did have that one

[shy mesa]

😮

[obtuse dawn]

Ya'll became best friends.

[shy mesa]

But I lost the cartridge.

Maybe oxez has mine. ^.-

[obtuse dawn]

Ya'll stopped being best friends.

[shy mesa]

hahaha

[sturdy field]

No mine was stolen lol

[obsidian geyser]

why do you have a french game

thats illegal

[shy mesa]

XD

[vapid kraken]

lol some of the builds have got alot better i got a mock up beast build but havent tried it yet

[obsidian geyser]

I had an azerty laptop for a while

madness

[sturdy field]

Years later I traded it for a pokemon blue game, and we had that one stolen so obviously we let the ther person keep the zelda game

[candid edge]

I remember accidentally saving over my friends gameboy file and he had like 6 mewtwos

[sturdy field]

I learned from my lessons

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74v8tDOh3w This when you stole from the merchant guy and came back in his store.

[candid edge]

Replaced by a 32 min long save file named SLICK

[sturdy field]

@shy mesa I clearly remember "Le Poisson Rêve"

[shy mesa]

Followed by the BZZZZZ sound and you losing all your hearts.

XD

[vapid kraken]

if you want to try it out

[sturdy field]

instead of the Wind Fish

[shy mesa]

Mhm.

Maron.

[sturdy field]

Hmm not sure about that name. IN english she is called Marin iirc, but I thought it was Marine in french

Did you play the remake they made on Switch?

[shy mesa]

oh, no, you're right.

[vapid kraken]

heres a game for the 90s kids anyone remeber playing the original worms game

[shy mesa]

It was Marine.

And...Tarquin?

[sturdy field]

No idea.

[shy mesa]

the guy who got transformed into a Tanuki.

in the woods of the Lost.

or Lost Woods, whatever.

[shy mesa]

I remember playing Ghostbusters, Choplifter.

[obtuse dawn]

Was Link's Awakening the one where Link just had a bad acid trip?

[shy mesa]

on the Gameboy.

[sturdy field]

more or less yeah

[shy mesa]

Yeah, and he finds himself on some island.

[obtuse dawn]

Oh yeaaah

[shy mesa]

with some crazy shit goin' on.

[obtuse dawn]

I was so pissed about that game

like WHAT

[shy mesa]

X)

[obtuse dawn]

I just spent 10 hours FOR THIS

[sturdy field]

The ending cinematic was so well made for the gameboy

[shy mesa]

It was.

[obtuse dawn]

It was

[sturdy field]

like, it was impressive

[obtuse dawn]

123 you me a coke

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ErE4l1EKM

for old time's sake.

[vapid kraken]

i have only just started playing the zelda games

[obtuse dawn]

That chiptune is so good

[shy mesa]

Mhm

Especially when it goes into the Zelda theme. 🙂

[sturdy field]

If you have a switch you can play the remake of Link's awakening, or the game boy version. But it's the DX version with colors. the BAD version

[shy mesa]

around 0:46

[vapid kraken]

i used to play Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles 2 back from the sewers alot

[sturdy field]

Ballad of the wind fish is a really nice song

[vapid kraken]

Ninja*

[obtuse dawn]

I hear the new movie is good

Need to watch it

[vapid kraken]

same

[shy mesa]

I think I had a TMNT game too, but it's been way too long.

[sturdy field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IlRfLstzT8&t=14s

[shy mesa]

I had Kirby's Dreamland 1 and 2! 😄

[sturdy field]

first one in just grayscale, it's just amazing lol

[obtuse dawn]

For a second there I thought the far left was Link's cake

I was like damn

Link got a nice butt

[vapid kraken]

i might get out my old gameboy and see what games i have on it

[shy mesa]

I lost so many cartridges, man.

[sturdy field]

lol

[shy mesa]

I had Donkey Land 1 and 2.

But 2nd is now unplayable.

And I'm super sad.

[obtuse dawn]

that was a secret ending?

Huh.

[shy mesa]

Cuz I loved the 2nd more than the 1st.

[vapid kraken]

i did aswell or they just stopped working

[shy mesa]

😦

[sturdy field]

I'm not sure, I always saw it both on GB and switch

[obtuse dawn]

Damn I want a Zelda game made in the style of the last one

[vapid kraken]

pretty sure i just got my pokemon and a few others that havent died yet

[obtuse dawn]

That looks so good

[shy mesa]

Same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHCF3Iy-KQM&list=PLD534088A4DFC2F28

[obtuse dawn]

Gimme an anime looking BoTW

anyday

[shy mesa]

:3

[obtuse dawn]

Fuuuck I love this tune

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a7IUvoEugM&list=PLD534088A4DFC2F28&index=3

[obtuse dawn]

These composers were so good

[sturdy field]

Isn't it called The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker ?

[shy mesa]

The DK tunes in 2nd were great in general.

[obtuse dawn]

Haha true. But UPDATED

Not BoTW III

[shy mesa]

Hear that? That's just a level select music. >_>

[vapid kraken]

my beast build if you want to try it out. tier 2 minions Sewer Rat and Hungry Snapjaw. tier 4 Banana Slamma 2 of them if you can get aswell as the Reanimating Rattler to give other beasts reborn. Tier 5 Mama Bear and tier 6 Octosari Warp God. have a few tier 3 Free-flying Feathermane and if you get tier 7 replace Reanimating Rattler with Papa Bear if you want to.

[candid edge]

DKC2 had bis music yes

[sturdy field]

Any of you guys tried the new donkey kong? Tropical Freeze

[shy mesa]

did.

It has some pretty good levels.

[sturdy field]

I'm guessing they target 8-10 years old people with it, and I struggle real hard in it, it puts me to shame

[shy mesa]

And some pretty hair-pulling ones among the "hidden" levels.

_>

[sturdy field]

all I am doing is beat levels and grab the K-O-N-G letters lol

[obtuse dawn]

pretty amazing for what they had to work with

[shy mesa]

Even that can sometimes be challenging.

But hey, you get to have Cranky Kong on your side for the first time!

😄

'bout time that old monkey made himself useful. X)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAW3ykl5S8M&list=PLD534088A4DFC2F28&index=4

[sturdy field]

They need to add donkey kong stuff to mario maker 2

[shy mesa]

pirate jam!

[obtuse dawn]

I remember getting this sent to me by Nintendo and I was SO jazzed to play it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhT_rtEaUE. The ending of the Primal Instinct reveal was SOOOO hype.

[sturdy field]

Any of you have mario maker 2 actually? I have a level I made years ago lol

[obtuse dawn]

Oh wait, not primal instinct

[obtuse dawn]

Nah it was so complicated I felt like a moron

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7chmdNVpjzc&list=PLD534088A4DFC2F28&index=9 The floor is literally lava. 😄

[sturdy field]

but there are levels where you press W and you win lol

[obtuse dawn]

Thats what made me feel like a moron that I couldnt design

So many cool levels though

😄

[sturdy field]

but you do have the game? 🤔

[shy mesa]

I remember there was a cheat code in Super Mario Land 1 you could do when you had the game on pause.

Give yourself 100 lives.

XD

But since you couldn't save. >_>

In fact, Super Mario Land 1 was super tough. No save, you died, you redid the level.

[sturdy field]

I think I did that once

[shy mesa]

no more lives?

gg, you start again.

From the beginning.

[sturdy field]

Yup. And at the time I was garbage at video games so I restarted at the beginning very often.

[shy mesa]

X)

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxzuBcutfJ8&list=PLD534088A4DFC2F28&index=12 I bet you remember THIS tune.

[sturdy field]

There was a level I completed in mario maker 2 when I bought it, you had to do the entire level normally, but then you'd come back to the beginning with an item, "transform" into mario land 1 mario, and have to do the level again. Took me I think 1200 tries

[shy mesa]

The freakin' roller coaster. ><

[sturdy field]

I don't think I played donkey kong land

[shy mesa]

You could probably get away playing them on a SNES emulator these days.

T'was called Donkey Kong Country instead.

[sturdy field]

Yeah that does not ring a bell. I played mario land/link's awakening and the greatest game of all time: Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball

[shy mesa]

the Donkey Kong Country OST is a bit better.

since it's not limited by the Gameboy's stuff.

[sturdy field]

Yeah I think I played donkey kong country on snes

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flAFuldeRV8&list=PLFADADFD88F5B0565&index=15

Compare with the earlier song with the same title.

[sturdy field]

Wtf do you know what this one makes me think of?

[shy mesa]

@obtuse dawn Country music was just better than Land though.

[shy mesa]

No idea. Do tell!

[sturdy field]

https://youtu.be/KAI2Y1I8Y04?si=Bxo8zMAkWohSQF15&t=25

the little melody that plays in the background lol

[shy mesa]

Hmm.

[sturdy field]

that's totally random

maybe more at the beginning idk why I linked a timestamp

[shy mesa]

It sounds nothing like Donkey Kong, IMO.

[sturdy field]

I did not play a lot of DKC though, I did not own the game

[shy mesa]

Or did you mean something else?

[shy mesa]

Just get an SNES emulator.

[sturdy field]

would be too hard to explain

[shy mesa]

Any computer can run it these days.

XD

[sturdy field]

I'm pretty sure the switch has them in the SNES emulator

[shy mesa]

probs.

[somber pumice]

Gargoyle's Quest on GB was sooo good

[sturdy field]

I got too many games to play at the moment to play snes games :P

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eio1LBm2Z4I&list=PLFADADFD88F5B0565&index=7 One of the classics.

TBH, there is always time for some Monkey antics like Donkey Kong's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW--iJYcZNE Huh. This is interesting.

(If they ever redo the game, this should be included)

[sturdy field]

at 0:25 it feels like I'm watching Hook

[shy mesa]

X)

[sturdy field]

I have this on my playlist, this guy is pretty good at video game covers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev0X8JXZ01s

[shy mesa]

I'm really liking the new symphonic arrangement for Hothead Bop.

[shy mesa]

Not bad.

He's got some percussions in there too though. I think.

which are not shown here. 😛

[balmy current]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au0aqUNc8RM do you like the bass in there

[sturdy field]

yeah I don't remember if he plays the drums himself or uses computer, sounds good either way

[shy mesa]

s'not bad, but I'm half deaf, so I dunno how much my opinion is worth here.

[balmy current]

i see, as you long enjoy it thats the main thing

Phil rippin down the streets with tunes blasting

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4haYf0wHaU

Try this. ;D

[balmy current]

SHEEEEEESH raidin to this

[shy mesa]

😄

The Trails of series have a pretty good OST. ;D

[balmy current]

this is pretty dope

[shy mesa]

It's actually a remixed theme from the 2nd game of the Trails of Cold Steel. :p

Here you go, this is the OST that plays during the last boss of that game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8CmfRgxvVQ

(oh, and he's super annoying, he even cheats at one point and wipes you out if you don't stop him)

(or find some workaround. 😛 )

[balmy current]

dayum that musta been an epic boss battle

[shy mesa]

It was. ;D

Not gonna spoil you too much, but see, in that game's universe, there are 7 elements.

And the Goddess of that world gave to humans before the Great Collapse treasures based on those.

You got the basic 4, earth, fire, water, air.

And the 3 "higher" elements. Time, Space and Mirage. That last one is more related to Cognition.

And this boss fight is related to it. 🙂

I won't spoil you further. You gotta play the games to find out. X)

(But let's just say it's a big series, there's like 10 games fully translated to english with dubs on Steam, and some got fan-patched to english before official releases, it's that loved).

The one I'm playing is the 11th, it got a fan patch.

(It's serviceable)

Some typos here and there, but otherwise very good.

[shy mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-azjB3lsUTU Here's the regular battle theme in the first game of the Crossbell Duology.

(Zero comes first, then Ao/Azure)

[balmy current]

very upbeat themes, makes you feel heroic

[shy mesa]

Here's one that plays in the first game of the Trails games, which is Trails in the sky first chapter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8dxPoNvWqY

Oh, and if that wasn't enough there's a super arrange version in the 2nd chapter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMwBxRpzoqU

(This JRPG series is criminally underrated, I tell ya)

anyway, gtg eat! 😄

(oh btw, the earlier titles of the series are sometimes on sale)

[candid edge]

approaching ||the elder brain now for last fight|| @obtuse dawn this is the end ya?

[shy mesa]

I'm just here playing my 9 gig game.

I have never played armored core, and I never really played skyrim or similar really. But I hope everyone has fun with those, so many games lately its insaneee

[candid edge]

i played FO 3

that's my only bethseda game

[sturdy field]

I am 80 hours in zelda tears of the kingdom, and I am 2/5 dungeons done lol. Map is so big, and this time I am doing side quests

[clever temple]

[light pilot]

Im confused. hasnt AC6 been released less than 24 hours but why some ytber claimed he played more than 40+ hours already?

[timid walrus]

It's a dog

Cute dog though

[solid needle]

Any PoE enjoyers

[light pilot]

im playing ac6 rn

[obtuse dawn]

Get out. PoE are for old boomers

No one plays that game anymore

[solid needle]

*gamers

[obtuse dawn]

If we did play a game like PoE we’d play the #1 hit Diablo 4 by one of the best developers who also created 2023’s Game of the Year Dragonflight

[solid needle]

D4 is dogshit and you all know it

Give it like 3 seasons of added endgame and it’ll be good though

[obtuse dawn]

I mean it doesn't have the deep storytelling and character development of Dragonflight but it's close.

We all know it is too late

[obtuse dawn]

Damg 2gig update for BG3

[obtuse dawn]

Nexii retreated, his bitch ass couldn't handle the heat

[solid needle]

You act like I play DF

I’m a PoE main now

[obtuse dawn]

Why’d you quit GotY Dragonflight?

[light pilot]

hmm AC6 is so overhyped

the game is not that great

[obtuse dawn]

It’s fun.

[light pilot]

no

[obtuse dawn]

I blow stuff up

[light pilot]

mission is too short

[obtuse dawn]

It’s probably better than BG3

[light pilot]

I just played an hour ago and already complete 10 missions

just press and win

I expected the game to be the same level as soul game

[solid needle]

So, literally D4

God damnit puzzle I just said that

Don’t be trying to take my god damn limelight

Hoot should be happy, they made toad ladies underwear dyeable

[light pilot]

Nah it is not the same. D4 is unfinished game.

[obtuse dawn]

So you’re saying there’s a trend now with Blizzard releasing games half finished ?

No way

[candid edge]

I think d4 core is a good game

[light pilot]

You knew it from df

[candid edge]

Just not much to do like nexii said

[obtuse dawn]

You think df was half finished?

[candid edge]

Give it a few seasons of content it’ll be better

I don’t think DF was half finished. I just think they could have spent some time polishing

[light pilot]

Why you think I quit DF?

[candid edge]

It released with half baked trees and a non working UI that they had to fix or rework as time went along

Probably spent more time letting thundering cool as a seasonal too. They changed it from the original god awful version in beta to the live one like at the last second

Just needed more time in oven for polish

[obtuse dawn]

Even though in beta everyone told blizzard it needed more time with classes yet blizzard just said fuck no

[candid edge]

I think that’s ultimately just being on some suit-driven rigid release schedule

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah

Been that way since WoD

[candid edge]

My biggest gripe with wow and maybe blizz at large

Such an aggressive pipeline and timeline for releases gives them seemingly little latitude to pivot based on feedback

[obtuse dawn]

Yep

That and all the original talent that was innovative left years ago and after the sexual assault cases everyone forgot about

[candid edge]

Ion suggested as much when they said by the time legion era borrowed power got really old to players and feedback reflecting such popped it’s head in late legion they were already done bfa and working on SL or whatever

[obtuse dawn]

True granted Ion to me should move on

We don’t hear shit from Metzen

[candid edge]

Idk I don’t think there’s any saving wow

Atleast for me

[obtuse dawn]

He came back and just shut up

[candid edge]

For turbo zoomers who like m+ sounds like it’s their game

But idk if they can break away from the seasonal 3 pillars of end game formula

Enough for me to want to play

The formula is old and stale to me

Heroic week gear up. Get aotc week 1-3 depending on tuning. Slam m+ early on for ilvl. Get CE later on. Do it again. Over and over again idk

[obtuse dawn]

Same. Raiding takes too much to get into, my guild of 8 years was starting to run mythic but then the GM started to ask the officers for nudes, he was booted out but then everyone was like huh, he lead a good assortment of shit and then everyone disbanded. That was the last thing holding me to WoW

[obtuse dawn]

Same exact items too

Like once I sat down and looked at what I was doing

Im spending hours getting the highest ranked ilvl, just to repeat it again and again and again

[candid edge]

I did a lot of thinking about it and maybe ultimately I don’t like raiding

Or grown out of it idk

And if I don’t like raiding or m+ there’s 0 point. Love pvp but it’s such a minigame that gets no love

[obtuse dawn]

WoW is enjoyed the best with a group of friends now. Without that there isn’t much there

[candid edge]

I think that’s always been the case

[obtuse dawn]

Hardcore wow though

Looks tasty

[candid edge]

I tell pvpers to join some type of raiding guild. You find buddies to play with. Even arena partners

But having social structure is good to prevent being lone wolf in LFG window

Which imo is the most miserable experience

[obtuse dawn]

Yep. But what happens when your friends quit because they’re bored of the game

You’re like I’ll stick it out no worries

I’ll find new friends

NopeZ

[candid edge]

Yeah my 2s partner was my RL

Lmao

And we crushed to 2400

My guild died this tier after me and a few other core guys stopped raiding

So I don’t have anything to come back to even if I wanted to

[obtuse dawn]

That’s me

I don’t want to restart with another guild that’ll fall apart

[candid edge]

Too old to do the guild hopping shit

[obtuse dawn]

Yep

[candid edge]

And tbh that’s why I like arpgs

I get the MMO-ish fix of character progression and gear hunting

But it’s playing on my own terms

[obtuse dawn]

WoW just ain’t for me anymore, like you I’ve outgrown it’s designs I guess

[candid edge]

And I don’t need 4 or 19 people to have a good time

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah true

[candid edge]

That’s what I came down to. Wow probably hasn’t changed a whole lot big picture. The game didn’t move away from me. I moved away from the game

[obtuse dawn]

Yep. That and WoWs designs haven’t changed so it’s understandable.

[candid edge]

Can nitpick about small things but it’s been new tier new raid new gear paradigm for a long while

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah. It was just hidden well before

[candid edge]

Probably why people take to classic so much

[obtuse dawn]

I will say I did enjoy Legions class halls

[candid edge]

It’s still got the old school MMO feel

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah it’s what makes hardcore look so fun

The idea that no one is safe

You die, you start over

[candid edge]

Which I think players ultimately want, old school style MMO, but they can’t help themselves from 2023 gaming it

In terms of leveling as fast as possible and finding the most efficient everything on YouTube

It actually takes so much discipline to play blind and stop and smell the roses lmao

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah, min/max has taken over too. Something we didn’t have in older games because we really couldn’t share the info

[candid edge]

I really think legion last time they went all out with contents

For everyone

[obtuse dawn]

Same@

Loved the quests

The hidden artifact appearances

[candid edge]

It’s been new raid new m+ seasonal new rep Island and that’s it

For a while now

[obtuse dawn]

Yep

That’s it.

[candid edge]

I’m gonna dabble with classic hardcore but idk

Too many good games rn to revisit 20 year old game lmao

[sturdy field]

that reminds me of that meme I once saw, Yoshi-P telling players to enjoy the new Island Sanctuary and smell roses, you had that guy taking a bunch of them and literally inhaling them to move on faster lmao

[obtuse dawn]

My immediate impulse is to roll a healer and just go around healibg people almost dying

I love that medic feeling like oh shit I’m gonna die and lose my character

[sturdy field]

don't lmao

[obtuse dawn]

But then a healer comes outta no where

[sturdy field]

you'll get healing agro and they'll leave you to die

[obtuse dawn]

Yep

Hah

[sturdy field]

min-maxing their time yo

[obtuse dawn]

I remembered oh yeah healing grabs aggro :/

Looks fun though

[sturdy field]

but idk maybe! the only good part of all of classic wow was 1-60 leveling

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah

Knowing that restarts if you die

Sounds fun

[sturdy field]

wotlk seems like a shit show, and its not because of blizzard, people are just min-maxing to the teeth its just insane

[obtuse dawn]

Haven’t looked into if you die in dungeons if you get deleted

[sturdy field]

my friend was trying to run heroics+ or w/e they are called in it, he waited for 4 hours trying to get an invite but he never could do one because he didnt have bis gear

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah that wasn’t on blizzard

[sturdy field]

if you die in dungeon you are done yeah

[obtuse dawn]

That’s so cool

[sturdy field]

you literally cannot die lol

[obtuse dawn]

But also man the anger

[sturdy field]

they even removed any resurect spells since they are useless

they removed soulstone

[obtuse dawn]

Hahaha whaaaat

[sturdy field]

paladins cannot bubble heart to make it fair since they removed some abilities like Anhk for shamans

[obtuse dawn]

Wow

The only thing I woulda liked to have seen was corpse looting

[sturdy field]

you kind of can

[obtuse dawn]

Really?!

[sturdy field]

if you duel somenoe and kill them, you collect a string of ears

lol

"Duel to the Death"

but its not looting them exactly but still

[obtuse dawn]

Oh haha that’s neat though. I want some old toxic UO corpse looting

Probably too hard to do with the servers

[sturdy field]

well

You know how people are try-hards as fuck in classic

If they implemented "loot corpses" and get their items, you know exactly what would happen right

People would sell full gear sets that way lmfao

[obtuse dawn]

Ah yeah true :/

You right

I just remember the “oh shit stay by my corpse and grab my gear. Okay run run run”

YOU DIED?!

Omg they’re taking all our stuff

Log out due to anger

Log in 15 minutes later

[shy mesa]

I mean.

Your character gets deleted if you die in hardcore, right?

Feels a bit sad to let all that good gear go to waste. 🙄

[obsidian geyser]

in wow classic you can transfer it for free to another non hc server

dunno how many do it but some prolly do

[sturdy field]

You can still play your character if you die. But as a "ghost", unable to rez. You can still talk in guild, etc. But you can transfer that char to a classic-era non-hardcore realm if you want

[obsidian geyser]

"play"

[obtuse dawn]

Ah shit that’s cool af

Good on blizz for that

[sturdy field]

yes, "play" lol

[candid edge]

Who’s gonna play their dead hardcore toon

[sturdy field]

shadowlands simulator

[obtuse dawn]

On a non hc server I would

Though the appeal to me is that it’s an even playing field

Streamers can spend 24/7 on their toon and die to end up with a casual like me who would play an hour or so a day

[sturdy field]

oh sweet summer child

[obtuse dawn]

Shhhh

Lemme just have this

[sturdy field]

big ego streamers will do anything to ruin the game for people like us

[obtuse dawn]

There’s gotta be a streamed server

[sturdy field]

they will have their followers do anything to kill your character if you as much as STEAL one of their mobs

[obtuse dawn]

Very true :/

Though I will say beta classic with streamers was some what fun

Towelliee was a huge dick

Asmongold would just sit in AH while people gave him gold

Most would just dungeon spam

Which looks like they can’t do in HC

[somber pumice]

Nah, in HC dungeons have a 24h timer

iirc

[candid edge]

I know there were some workarounds presented

Like trading gear from progressively lower level toons until it reached ur new toon etc

Think they said they were gonna address that tho

[sturdy field]

not sure i understand that gear trading thing

[candid edge]

Same

[brisk flower]

If I ever were to play with a big streamer, not sure who I’d play with

AutomaticJak seems nice

By his videos and his Instagram account

[shy mesa]

I don't play with streamers.

like Shrek, I like my privacy.

Also, I prefer to focus on the game instead of trying to "act" like someone I'm not for the sake of views.

[candid edge]

I hate playing with streamers lol

Or against

[shy mesa]

Never played with any.

[candid edge]

Their chat is obnoxious

[shy mesa]

or against.

Yep.

That's another thing.

Also why I prefer screenshots or recordings.

not streams.

Screenshots, more often than not.

Like this.

Of my newest character. :3

And before you say anything, no, she's not a maid, even though she looks like it.

[candid edge]

She looks like a nurse maid high school student that also pilots a mecha

[shy mesa]

She's actually a "service concierge".

For this company whose letters you can see on her hairband.

Which is a private military company.

So yes, she's very combat capable.

^^

[candid edge]

What type of service

[shy mesa]

I just told you.

Basically, battle maid.

[candid edge]

Look u explained before I hit send

But I thought it was funny so I hit send anyway

[shy mesa]

heh.

Well, not gonna spoil much but.

See, her company is developping new stuff, and your protag is basically testing them for them.

and she's in charge of him, like, getting his reports, making sure everything's working well, etc.

Next character should be another girl too.

An actress. 🙂

I'll show ya once I get her. X)

[candid edge]

What u think of genshin and the upcoming project Magen

[somber pumice]

Is she better than Risette from Persona 4 though

[candid edge]

That reminds me I need to finish persona 5

[shy mesa]

You should.

The final boss musics are great. ;D

Especially this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gveYikxE_RA&themeRefresh=1

[shy mesa]

Well, one's an idol, but this battle maid here in Kuro no Kiseki takes a bit more of a hands-on approach to combat. 😉

She uses a knife and gun. >_>

also, she's a prim and proper lady in terms of behavior.

I'm not gonna spoil how P5 ends because it's truly epic in scope and everything.

(and if you got P5R, boy, you're in for a ride after that. 😄 )

(Including a Valentine event. I'll let you ponder what happens if you romanced everyone)

[shy mesa]

little more motivation for you to finish your run. 😛 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBy4Ir_Pfng

Idk how I feel about this

[candid edge]

That’s what I have. I played a bit of the beginning on my steamdeck when we were at Disney and got past the arc with the gym teacher but aside from that not so much

I’d have 30 life sentences if not finishing games were a crime

[shy mesa]

Dude, don't sleep on P5R. You're missing out.

Lots of great girls.

^^

[shy mesa]

I'll just tell ya to be careful around a certain boss. X) He's towards the end, so you're still safe, but damn, he was annoying.

[obtuse dawn]

@light pilot will love this

That entire video sounds like hype bullshit to me

They said the same shit with Fallout 4

Im excited for the game but they definitely seem to chasing the BG3 "120 hour" vibe

[shy mesa]

❤️

Judith ❤️

[obtuse dawn]

Ya'll gonna get me in trouble with my wife leaving discord up

https://tenor.com/view/canem-angry-mad-gif-13929338

[candid edge]

Please

You can’t have played BG3 and not had weirder shit up on discord

[shy mesa]

xD

This dude.

[shy mesa]

You're truly missing out if you're not playing the Trails games. ;D

mwhahaha.

Although the NISA translations have simmered down some of the more funny dialog.

like, literally, in a fan translation, you had Randy say "bruh" when he got surprised by something.

But that got cut in their localization.

(And as you can see, Aaron is a bit crude)

[light pilot]

doesnt matter since I will play with mod

I might just make one to skip main story

🤷

and it is a good sign that I see many old modders active 😄

[sturdy field]

Weird. I'm on chat support with HyperX for my broken headset, and the person is nice

[shy mesa]

Just so you know, after that picture with Aaron there, they go to a nightclub. And there's pole dancing. (But they're not naked, don't worry)

[somber pumice]

Wonder if there'll be mods for BG3, there were some awesome camaign mods for DoS2

[candid edge]

There already are

[obtuse dawn]

Def are!

Larian said next patch will put player mods/suggestions into the game like they did with DoS2

[shy mesa]

I love it when a studio does that.

[candid edge]

That’s p dope

[shy mesa]

It shows they're at least listening to their customers.

and acting on it.

[candid edge]

Second playthru vs. DOS2

Decisions decisions

[shy mesa]

I still gotta finish DoS1. XD

[obtuse dawn]

This studio is amazing at it too. Most their gift bags from DoS2 were ideas from other players to improve. They didn't say like Blizzard "WE KNOW BEST". They're like, nah, we'll add it.

[shy mesa]

D:

[shy mesa]

True based champs.

Unlike Blizz.

[obtuse dawn]

I'd look up some top mods for DOS2, the armor system is a bit wonky. There was a mod that fixes it.

[light pilot]

2nd play thru

Recommend coop

[obtuse dawn]

He already played it with a friend

[shy mesa]

I should play it coop eventually. =.=

[light pilot]

Still coop

[shy mesa]

Haven't even finished DoS2 as well.

I think farthest I got was leaving the island.

_>

[obtuse dawn]

Easily a solid experience

[light pilot]

Dos2 Act 2 is boring

[shy mesa]

and starting to explore the nearby village, which had weird shit in the fishing warehouse.

[obtuse dawn]

Fuck off

[candid edge]

Man kaed can’t go that long without trying to flirt with Oxez and get him talking

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot you're so wrong haha

[shy mesa]

WELL

If anything, Act 2 didn't seem that engaging.

Compared to Act 1.

[candid edge]

Every 5 sentences segueways to blizz/wow = bad hahahaha

[obtuse dawn]

In DOS2?

Act 2 was really fun

[light pilot]

I dont like jungle part

[shy mesa]

Where you're literally trying to escape an island with freaking inquisitors on your tail.

[candid edge]

@sturdy field kaed trying to get your attention

[obtuse dawn]

I loved the entire game. Act 5 is rushed but the rest was amazing

Ya'll crazy

[light pilot]

And cave part also boring

[obtuse dawn]

@somber pumice back me up here

WHAT

[candid edge]

I’m doing it all

It’s just what I do first

[obtuse dawn]

The cave part was so fucking fun

[candid edge]

🤣

[obtuse dawn]

WHAT in the hell

Did ya'll even beat the game?

[candid edge]

I heard that BG3 was an evokution of the systems in DOS2 and making it better and fixing clunkiness

[shy mesa]

How I picture Kaed now:

[candid edge]

So maybe do dos2 before I get too used to BG3 idk

[shy mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/senpai-arigatou-gif-19814563

[obtuse dawn]

I'd say DOS 2 then back to BG3 so you forget some of the stuff

DOS2 will easily take awhile

[sturdy field]

is that bait im scrolling up and dont see anything lol

[light pilot]

Well you cant cheese with magic in Dos

[shy mesa]

uh, what?

[light pilot]

Since it has magic shield

[shy mesa]

I remember magic was pretty good in DoS2.

Especially with archers.

[obtuse dawn]

Looks just like me

Oh its fuckin fun

[shy mesa]

I knew it.

I mean, teleport yourself to a high spot.

and rain destruction.

[obtuse dawn]

They means they can't exploit mechanics like they did in BG3

[shy mesa]

oh, heh.

[obtuse dawn]

Shit was fixed in DOS2 by now

[light pilot]

I mean you still have to break shield first

[shy mesa]

lighting up plague/oil barrels will never get old.

[obtuse dawn]

If you've never played DOS2 you're in for an experience. It's different from BG3 but in ways I think make it better in its own right

no dice.

[shy mesa]

or you know.

spreading blood all around.

Then electrifying it.

heheheh.

[light pilot]

Magic in bg3 is too powerful

[obtuse dawn]

I could use without the dice after 3rd playthrough

[obtuse dawn]

Yep.

[candid edge]

I’m a huge Larian fanboy now

[obtuse dawn]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1953266629

[candid edge]

So I’ll play it all

[obtuse dawn]

Fixes the armor system

The characters in DOS2 are really well done

I'd say BG3 is DOS2 2.0

If you enjoy BG3, DOS2 will be a blast for you

[shy mesa]

I like some of the origin characters in DoS2.

[obtuse dawn]

Fane was my favorite

[shy mesa]

Mostly Fane, Ifan, the Dragon prince and Beast.

[light pilot]

Always play lonewolf in dos

[obtuse dawn]

Yep

I miss lonewolf in BG3

:/

[shy mesa]

didn't really like like the 2 girls.

[light pilot]

Lonewolf is not worked in bg3 since you will miss more than half of events in the game

Even evil playthru is terrible

[candid edge]

I get the sense that hoot is just a hater

[light pilot]

In my evil playthru I have only Minthara left in my camp

The others are dead

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot in a nutshell

They hated on Last of Us

I just like getting them going on stuff, it's fun

[sturdy field]

You're the guy who'll park his car in front of your neighbor's house instead of yours, just to see how they'll react

lmao!

[obtuse dawn]

I was about to type

"It usually gets oxez to come out of his shell and comment"

😄

Time to download Hoot's favorite game Armored Core

[light pilot]

That game is terrible

It is not hard but annoying, you cant dodge anything.

[candid edge]

Maybe I buy it

[light pilot]

No iframe

[candid edge]

Why would mecha game have iframe

[light pilot]

Im sure most ppl will quit the game on first capstone boss

😅

No iframe mean you will get a lot of stagger and you will hate it

[obtuse dawn]

Oh shit

[sturdy field]

Isn't patch 1 mostly fixes?

[shy mesa]

Oh Fuck.

[somber pumice]

They're really shitting on Blizzard just for the sake of it, honestly a ton of bugs have been fixed super quick in DF

And a ton of bugs remain in BG3 which can be game-breaking and not that hard to trigger

e.g if you break your oath in Act 3 as a Paladin GL for restoring it, Oathbreaker never appears

[sturdy field]

I'm looking at the list for patch #1, that is a LOT of bugs lol

[candid edge]

I didn’t experience much

[somber pumice]

Also I hate it that Detect Thoughts is INT based and not WIS based >.<

[obtuse dawn]

I don’t think they’re talking about DF 😂

[sturdy field]

Blizzard could find a cure for cancer/aids, and some would say "They only did it so those who are now cured can buy blizzard games and increase their profits"

[obtuse dawn]

D4

[somber pumice]

Ah

Haven't played D4 much past S1, the game was fun but I never play H&S games for too long, the repetitiveness of the genre gets at me after a while

[obtuse dawn]

It’s just like WoW in terms of gear grinding

So makes sense

BG3 is pretty damn@ambitious though so I expect the bugs

[shy mesa]

Oathbreaker. When my game has a guy whose title is basically Thousand Oathbreaker. :p

heheh.

[obtuse dawn]

And like puzzle I haven’t really experienced any?

[obtuse dawn]

Like what?

🤔

Anya googles game breaking BG3 bugs

[somber pumice]

I gave one above, but I can give a few other instances I encountered if you want :v

[somber pumice]

Iirc they said an expansion was possible but pretty unlikely

“Honestly, we haven’t started on an expansion,” Vincke begins. “[Level 12-20] adventures require a different way of doing things, in terms of antagonists you’re going to have to deal with, which require a lot of development to do them properly.” He adds that going up to level 20 with DLC “would make this much more than an expansion in terms of development effort. A lot of DnD adventures are sub-level 12 for precisely that reason. So it sounds like neat, easy expansion material until you start thinking about it and it’s not as easy as one would imagine.” With tens of thousands of Baldur’s Gate 3 endings, Vincke also notes that if they picked up where the story ended, “you’d have to wait for a long time” to play it.

(PC Gamer Interview)

[obtuse dawn]

That’s outdated

[somber pumice]

With that said and to reiterate, player mods could add a lot to the game, they certainly did with Divinity from what I heard though I've never played them

[obtuse dawn]

https://www.gry-online.pl/newsroom/larian-studios-ucina-spekulacje-o-przyszlosci-baldurs-gate-3-chce/z7264fe

That’s from today

[somber pumice]

Possibly, it was 2 weeks ago

[obtuse dawn]

They’ve changed plans

[somber pumice]

Kaed comes from Poland confirmed

[obtuse dawn]

Most likely due to the $$$

https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1613ssk/larian_studios_on_baldurs_gate_3_we_want_to_do/

Looks like they could be adding in Upper City

Sucks to be wrong huh @somber pumice

[candid edge]

Didn’t we have upper city

[obtuse dawn]

Nah, it was cut

We had lower

[somber pumice]

I wasn't wrong, my info was outdated :v

[obtuse dawn]

Aka wrong

Sucks to suck

[candid edge]

Idk I had two floors

Lower and uhh

[obtuse dawn]

Hahaha

[obtuse dawn]

I can sense you boiling, its tooo fun

[somber pumice]

Man you have no idea how fun Light Cleric is

AoE everywhere

[obtuse dawn]

Oh I bet

[somber pumice]

Only downsize is you don't have haste for all these juicy extra actions

Also tried Tempest Cleric / Storm Sorcerer a little, it's gonna be super fun too

Cast Mage Hand before a fight, drop a bottle of water, have Mage Hand throw the bottle of water on your enemies then Zap them with a lightning spell

Bonus feat : VERY early in the game you find a ring which allows you to cast Color Spray once per combat, which means you can essentially perma fly when out of combat

[obtuse dawn]

You really put a lot of thought into this cleric 😄

Definitely what makes BG3 better than WoW for sure

Yea or no

[obtuse dawn]

Pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza

[candid edge]

pineapple does not belong on pizza but at the same time if folks like it i can't argue

[shy mesa]

no.

But with anything regarding food, it's up to personal taste.

I eat stuff that some people might not like, and that's fine. More for me, less for them.

[solid needle]

sorry Phil that’s not an acceptable answer

[shy mesa]

Lol, does it seem like I caribou?

Except pineapple in pizza TBH

[candid edge]

whats ur cringiest food preference

by most people standards

[shy mesa]

Hard to say, because I'm rather broad minded when it comes to food, but let me think.

[undone stag]

that's cause it's supposed to go on the pizza

[candid edge]

if it's like normal cafeteria pizza where i work i dip my pizza in ketchup

that's probably the thing that people find is most fried

[sturdy field]

right, my bad :D

[undone stag]

[sturdy field]

I....do....that

[shy mesa]

Some fried stuff that shouldn't be fried, is that a suitable answer? And I mean like weird stuff like Mars Bars.

isn't that a cultural/regional thing? like ranch going on pizza? some places do it others it seems weird?

[candid edge]

everyone that sees me do it gives me blank stares

lmao

[shy mesa]

I'm fine with fried kale, fried bananas, fried potatoes, ofc.

[light pilot]

Im sure ppl are gonna get mad if they make an expansion before add upper city back.

And no AI improvement

[shy mesa]

I honestly can't say anything about pineapple on pizza because it's a Greek Canadian guy who invited it. D:

[sturdy field]

There is onething I buy at grocery stores that cashiers usually look at me weird. I buy these pickled asparagus, I feel like I'm the only one in the entire town who buys them lmao

[shy mesa]

so out of support for my countrymen, I can't fully dismiss it.

[candid edge]

have yall seen the tweets from naowh about swedish piuzza

[shy mesa]

I don't think it's in good taste, but then again, I've never eaten any.

And I refuse to make judgements based on what I haven't tried.

[shy mesa]

So I'll just say I'm not "thrilled" by the idea.

[sturdy field]

I think pizza is a nice convo topic, because when I go to the US I look at your pizzas and I'm like "what is THAT?"

[shy mesa]

Similarily like I'm not thrilled about eating insects.

But I hear from some people that it's not that bad.

(heck, it's sometimes delicious, depending on who you ask)

[sturdy field]

thats swedish pizza?

[candid edge]

yeah apparently

[shy mesa]

That reminds me.

I looked it up recently, and Wiki has a full list of known pizzas.

There's... Quite the variety.

Isn't that a kebab pizza, for instance?

@candid edge

I heard it was veryyyy popular up there.

[candid edge]

ye idk much about anything europe so

[shy mesa]

Just like how potato pizza is all the rage in Italy.

[sturdy field]

this is my #1 in my small town - I usually ask to go light on pepperoni because they usually put like 3-4 layers lol

[shy mesa]

Now see.

[candid edge]

that actually looks quite good

[shy mesa]

I don't personally like it when the crust is that big.

It feels like a waste.

and you're just eating bread.

=/

[sturdy field]

Yeah I agree, BUT, their crust actually tastes amazing

[shy mesa]

Gotcha.

We've got some good pizzerias here in Montréal too.

[sturdy field]

it's not usually that big either, but it happens that you get something like the pic

[shy mesa]

Hey, Marvel is playing BG3. 😛

points to the side

[sturdy field]

I don't think I could ever live in Montreal, I get anxious when I know I'll have trouble finding a parking spot lol

[shy mesa]

@hoary moss Look who joined the BG3 crowd. 😛

[shy mesa]

Well, I solved that issue by delaying getting my driving license for as long as possible.

_>

Ofc the parents don't like that.

[sturdy field]

Ha.

[shy mesa]

But y'know, no friends to help with driving practice.

So

I'm literally stuck at the very last step, which is the practical exam.

[sturdy field]

Yeah, it's expensive to get classes too

[shy mesa]

MHm.

[sturdy field]

A couple years ago, I lived in Quebec City. I forgot about the Festival D'Été de Québec. I was living in old town (saint-rock). I hated my life during those weeks

[shy mesa]

Well, the public transport system in Montréal is thankfully not too bad.

[candid edge]

bro

I FEEL THAT

IN MY BONES

[shy mesa]

But my dad doesn't like what that stupid mayoress is doing to our city.

[candid edge]

like an actual life goal of mine was to make enough money that i don't have to look for street parking and just park car in garage

cause i fucking hate it

[shy mesa]

How could you. ._.

[candid edge]

everytime i drive around in NYC it's just anxiety

[shy mesa]

Just use google street view and make believe.

And just order whatever from those shops. 😛

It'll be like you never left! 😄

[candid edge]

im ok at parallel parking but i haven't done it in god knows how long since i just garage park 100% of the time now lmao

[shy mesa]

Wonder if that's the future of shopping though.

Legit virtual visits.

With an hologram or something.

Ha!

Feels bad that we're still being held back by all this flesh. =.=

What a drag.

I'd rather be a digital entity.

[sturdy field]

Yeah I'm happy I don't deal with that anymore. I hated my life in Quebec City with a car, IN WINTER it was just awful. Find a spot, but gg you gotta move to public parking if there's snow at night

[shy mesa]

ah yep.
