[quaint herald]

I know to be on the lookout for it.

[visual heron]

easy fix, put a fliegerfaust in your travel bag

[quaint herald]

This is my favourite video.

[silver bone]

Again, starting the experiment in first place makes it clear that they acted the opposite way to how they should

[quaint herald]

My favourite part is hearing the corsairs roar. :D

[dry elbow]

The graduate students understood this more than the actual leader of the experiment

[main roost]

I’m going to become Albanian

[worn yew]

Ok

[visual heron]

yeah great video. i feel a lot of charm lacking in 2042 might be due covid which restricts the devs from just doing shit like this i feel

[silver bone]

Because leader was drunk on his own idea and ego

[warped fractal]

Moving to albania?

[dry elbow]

That’s a good point

[quaint herald]

True.

[dry elbow]

All ground breaking ventures seem to be this way

[quaint herald]

It's so funny hearing the sounds you could recognise.

[visual heron]

uhuh

[quaint herald]

How the engine starts, the cockpit sounds, etc.

[visual heron]

the sounddesign in bfv is top notch

[quaint herald]

It's really really good.

[blissful hill]

tee hee

you said pit

[quaint herald]

Shuddap old man!

[visual heron]

the way they sound when flying past, the difference between cockpit sounds vs third person camera

[silver bone]

And there will be a strong bias in terms of expected result

And some people will do anything to reach it

[blissful hill]

But am I your old man?

[quaint herald]

Yeee. More thumpy interiorly.

Most likely old enough to be my father.

[visual heron]

when you pull up from a risky dive and seeing the entire cockpit shake and DUMDUDMUDMDUM is amazing

[quaint herald]

Hearing the stress of the engine and all that.

I still remember my first experience with a tiger.

During the beta on D I was building standbags, Then I realised one was looking at me.

I ran as it fired and heard it tear through the sandbags.

"Lucky I wasn't killed there!" xD

[dry elbow]

Which is why he let the guards do almost whatever

[quaint herald]

it was so funny too playing COD 2, I was wondering "Why isn't that tiger staring at me?"

And then there was a panzer IV going to town on my AI squadmates.

[silver bone]

indeed

[quaint herald]

Not like I could complain cause ammo.

[dry elbow]

Watching this guy lose all his followers though is truly justice

[slim grove]

Who?

[silver bone]

Shame it took that much for it to happen

[dense nest]

[thick fossil]

I'm kind of excited for Isonzo

Way my friend describes it and what I've seen, it might be a WW1 Hell Let Loose sort of game

[dense nest]

oooh

[thick fossil]

Its part of the WW1 series with Verdun and Tannenberg

This one is on the Italian front it looks like

[dense nest]

i've heard of those

[chilly fable]

Why does spitfire spend so much time here if he doesn’t work on BF lol

[quaint herald]

Because he plays battlefield from time to time?

[dense nest]

not your business lol

[quaint herald]

Yeah that too.

[chilly fable]

I guess? Idk just pointing it out

[dense nest]

ok

[blissful hill]

Hell Let Loose is either waiting to respawn or holding the forward key

[dense nest]

it gets fun sometimes

unless you have to walk

like 5km

[thick fossil]

I already know your dislike for it, don't remind me

[silver bone]

Because I've spent about 6k hours playing it over last decade

[chilly fable]

Fair enough. Just wondering.

Y’all acting like I was asking for the names of all his/her family members 💀

[dense nest]

nah

just keep your nose to yourself next time tbh

[chilly fable]

I’m sorry, did I miss something? Bruh it was a question

[dense nest]

you didn't miss anything lol, move along with your day

[chilly fable]

Okay

[quiet quartz]

Because… he wants to?

[blissful hill]

How dare he

[rough harness]

dont understand a word but i love the song

https://youtu.be/PFmDD1TPhmE

[chilly fable]

Idk? Sorry for asking a question, god damn

[silver bone]

Relax, people

Far as questions I get go, this is a normal and neutral one

[quiet quartz]

I can imagine you get some pretty crazy messages from people

[dense nest]

mhm

[silver bone]

Well, it helps that I don't work on BF and have a very obscure job far as gamedev goes

[quiet quartz]

Localization tester right?

[silver bone]

Yeah

[dense nest]

understandable

[quaint herald]

Have a nice day.

[chilly fable]

Well that makes more sense then

[solar mural]

Looks like Way went to work :3

[dense nest]

wayway went working

[dry elbow]

To be fair I wonder why people spend so much time here when it’s all to complain about a game

[quiet quartz]

Because people like to complain about anything they can.

[dry elbow]

If I used discord to complain I’m wasting my time

[dense nest]

true

[quiet quartz]

I come here to discuss what I like most about the game usually. Since yknow. I like the game

[quaint herald]

I stopped complaining when I started to realise I enjoyed talking to people more.

[quiet quartz]

But apparently liking 2042 is illegal in most places

[dense nest]

learning stuff is what i do

[rough harness]

im just briefly curious what remaining DICE think about EMBARK where lot of their OG went

[dense nest]

embark?

[rough harness]

yeah

[dense nest]

[rough harness]

the new studio

[quiet quartz]

Made a post about what I like about it on Reddit for a feedback post and got like 5 messages from people sending me mental health resources. The bf community angers me sometimes

[dry elbow]

You can easily like the game but yeah I wouldn’t try and believe that you can say that anywhere without backlash

[dense nest]

true

[quiet quartz]

Noooo how dare you like something you paid money for noooo

They said the same thing about 5, yet everyone acts like that never happened.

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

Well now people like 5

Because it’s not 2042

[rough harness]

alot of OG DICE went to EMBARK under nexon to work on arc raiders

[dense nest]

theyll probs like 2042 when the next gets even worse

[quiet quartz]

When the next one comes out, guess what game they will claim is a “underrated game” because it ends with 42.

[steady yarrow]

this game is still so buggy. Jets are the worst. lock on doesnt work on them for some unknown reason

while my flares doesnt stop the enemy rockets

[dry elbow]

This OG DICE thing needs to die off quickly. Dice devs have been cycling out since the birth of battlefield 1942. Who really is an OG dice dev? BF4 and BF1 aren’t even OG bf games

[silver bone]

It's equally fine for people to like the game and to dislike it, what is not fine is being an arse towards people who disagree with you

That's pretty much my view

[dry elbow]

“OG” devs have been leaving since every battlefield game

1942, Vietnam, 2, 2142

People came and went

[dense nest]

i wish they bring back or remake 2142

[dry elbow]

If you mean the higher ups, I mean Soderlund was around for a huge amount of time but he also worked with people that came and went

[dense nest]

i loved it

[quiet quartz]

Right? If someone hates it I don’t care, if someone loves it good for them, just don’t be sending me links to the mental crisis hotline because I dare say I had fun lol

[silver bone]

My main eyebrow raiser is how gatekeeping goalposts always move

[dry elbow]

Yeah sadly that’s just the internet and I hate saying that

It’s just there’s not many ways to describe the gaming community

[silver bone]

In BF3 you had no right to speak if you didn't at minimum nolife BF2

[dry elbow]

Other than “this is what it is”

[dry elbow]

This

[solar mural]

Well doesn’t Soderlund deal partly with the business aspect of BF?

[dry elbow]

No

[silver bone]

Now if you didn't play BF3 you are not "OG"

[dry elbow]

He’s gone

Soderlund left right after BFV

[quiet quartz]

I remember

[solar mural]

🤨

Wow I didn’t realize that

[dense nest]

[silver bone]

And here's the thing about feedback gathering, polling, surveys etc. in general

[solar mural]

Haven’t really kept up with who’s where. :/

[silver bone]

It's equally important to keep tabs on what old guard and newcomers say

It somewhat reduces bias, if it doesn't eliminate it

[dense nest]

mhm

[silver bone]

Someone who only played one game has equal right to voice their view as someone who was around since 1942

[quaint herald]

It's one thign to say you've seen it all but using that to gatekeep just makes you an asshole (obviously).

[silver bone]

It also helps, as it allows to spot pain points one of groups would normally miss

It's kind of like two different pieces of same puzzle

[dense nest]

understandable

[quiet quartz]

I think criticism is great, but rampant fury and hate leveled at the devs is just insanity

[silver bone]

Criticism is helpful, but it kind of needs as much detail and as little vitriol as possible

[dense nest]

unless internet gets shut down there will always be

[silver bone]

It's like with bug reports

[quiet quartz]

I remember when people threatened to send bombs to hello games over NMS

[silver bone]

Bug report that just says "X breaks" is something, but it's not very helpful

[dense nest]

I remember that

[silver bone]

Bug report that lists reproduction steps though, now that's different

[dense nest]

NMS devs poured their soul out for the game

peeps still shitted on them

[silver bone]

I'm really glad that NMS at least managed to bounce back... still bloody shame about what was going on early on though

[quiet quartz]

I believe most devs do for all games, it’s not right to hate devs just because you don’t like the product

[dense nest]

true

[silver bone]

"Lazy devs" is a strawman that makes me see red

Everyone works their asses off on a daily, top to bottom

[quiet quartz]

I tried my hand at indie development, I don’t understand how devs can stand to work as hard as they do day in and day out, and to get hated on? I’d lose my mind

[carmine timber]

people hating on unfinished, buggy product is obvious thing but hating dev team is weird

[dry elbow]

why does it make me try to apply the same logic to every job

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

when i hear lazy devs

[carmine timber]

you can dislike but hating is just tooo much

[quiet quartz]

People who say dice isn’t doing anything about 2042 and just “being lazy” is ridiculous to me, I’m confident they have a mountain of work they are working on and shit takes time. Look at all games where they had to turn things around like NMS, it took them years! And they still are working on it. It’s insanely impressive

[dry elbow]

I think of pilots who don't take a plane off during bad weather and hearing a passenger say "lazy pilot"

[silver bone]

Living conditions of most of pilots are complete hell btw

[chilly fable]

Like personally?

[dry elbow]

their pay is good but thats what i would consider the only plus

their hours and schedule is hell

[silver bone]

Not necessarily

[dry elbow]

at least here it is

[chilly fable]

How do you live shitty if you’re paid 6 figures

[silver bone]

It's pretty commonplace for a group of pilots to essentially have to co-rent a barrack

[quiet quartz]

They get irradiated just to listen to people bitch and whine for hours upon hours in a cramped cockpit developing blood clots in the legs

[silver bone]

Including USA

[dry elbow]

some pilots in the US working for delta are making over 500K easily, but i think board consensus in average salary is around 200K

[chilly fable]

Yeah 6 figures minimum

[quiet quartz]

Delta pilots make good money I hear but it’s hard to be a delta pilot

[dry elbow]

if you're a pilot for major air liner you're definitely making 6 figures in the US

its the same with a cruise ship captain

any major company cruise the captain is paid handsomely

[carmine timber]

giving feedback in proper manner can also work but gamers just send death threats

[silver bone]

"Captain Dave Ryter earned so little when he was a co-pilot for a major airline that he lived in a gang area of Los Angeles, commuted for hours to work and made less money than a bus driver."

[dry elbow]

except for disney ofc

[quiet quartz]

Because a lot of gamers are toxic as hell. It’s embarrassing being around them

[dry elbow]

yeah thats pretty bad

[dense nest]

oof

[dry elbow]

he'd still not be the majority then tho

because even average consensus puts that in 6 figure territory

[silver bone]

Well, to become a pilot you need to spend many years as a co-pilot

[dry elbow]

yea

[silver bone]

And those get paid in range of $20k a year

[dry elbow]

and a co pilot isnt paid nearly the same

right

its like being a first mate on a ship

[silver bone]

People recently promoted to pilots almost never get near 100k either

[dense nest]

20k a year?

[dry elbow]

you know pretty much everything too but it doesnt really matter because you still get peanuts

[dense nest]

oof

[quaint herald]

20K a year wtf.

That shit isn't even sustainable.

[copper gull]

What about Disney?

[dense nest]

hahahahahah

[quaint herald]

Quiet Zyro~!

[carmine timber]

its normal now , if you dont like it just dont play it ez

[dry elbow]

horrible

[dense nest]

im not sure 20k would be enough

[copper gull]

Incorrect.

[quaint herald]

Honestly dude I'm not sure what's the average salary to even be able to live in the U.S as of now.

[dry elbow]

disney captain gets 50% below national average

[quaint herald]

ONE MORE.

[copper gull]

Co-pilots range between 70-110k a year, depending on the airline.

[quiet quartz]

If only, yet people hang around just to complain about crap they don’t even play

[silver bone]

Comments from actual co-pilots indicate it's pretty correct

[dense nest]

goddamn

[worn yew]

Realism.

[silver bone]

Still more than I earned in a lab

By quite a margin

[quaint herald]

Jesus christ.

[dense nest]

holy shit

[carmine timber]

cool skin

[quaint herald]

That's a fucking robbery,

[dry elbow]

walt disney treating people like shit is no surprise

[copper gull]

https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/co-pilot-large-jet-salary

This states otherwise.

[silver bone]

I'll say it as I don't care, in a lab I earned $27k before tax

[quaint herald]

Yeah dude if it states otherwise that is great that measx things have changed.

[dense nest]

that makes more sense

[quaint herald]

though the most pressing matter is how shit disney treats their employees.

I was aware that the people in their amusement parks live through a special kind of hell.

[dense nest]

100k is good enough

[quaint herald]

Yeah 100K is sure as hell liveable.

[dry elbow]

disney actually had a strike a few years ago

because they were dropping the average salary over the course of 15 years

until they raised it back up to 15.5

[silver bone]

Here's the thing, I don't trust this site in the slightest, as I know how badly it lied about salaries in field I worked in

[dry elbow]

in fact last fall over 20K disney employees just entered a class action lawsuit

[dense nest]

[silver bone]

It essentially did show income as double of what people really earned

[quaint herald]

I can't wait to cook another bowl of chilli beans tomorrow.

[copper gull]

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/airplane-pilot-or-copilot-salary-SRCH_KO0,25.htm

There's Glassdoor, then.

[worn yew]

[dry elbow]

glassdoor i usually trust

[carmine timber]

[dense nest]

[silver bone]

...and we're instantly down to half of what salary site said

[quaint herald]

Ivw heard that they take the no character breaks for mascots really fucking strict.

[carmine timber]

you like piccadilly ?

[silver bone]

$39k average salary for pilots and copilots thrown in together

[worn yew]

For campaign yes

For mp no

I chose piccadilly cuz I like the visuals in it

[dry elbow]

I know someone who did mascot work at disney and it was indeed brutal

[quaint herald]

20 to 39k is only liveable if you're living in a house with shared Roommates.

[dry elbow]

i think he still does stuff for disney tho

[copper gull]

A copilot still is in the 80k range, if not more, before they get the bump to pilot, and even more (or less) depending on skill.

[carmine timber]

👍

[copper gull]

You're not going to jump right into co-piloting a 737/747/Airbus...

[quaint herald]

It's one thing to take it strictly but when it actually matters? Are you fucking real?

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

I get paid peanuts but i do more work now than my previous job

[dense nest]

peanuts lel

[quaint herald]

Mm peanuts.

[quiet quartz]

I make 15k so I should know

[quaint herald]

With 20 dollars you can buy many more peanuts.

[silver bone]

Well, glassdoor clearly says it's $39k average salary for pilots and copilots thrown together

And it's more in line with what people themselves said when asked

[quaint herald]

Lol yeah. I'm trying to look for a job so I'm gomna take som training and hope I get a job cause of it.

I want to support my family a bit better.

[silver bone]

As for Poland, spread is wild for pilots

[quiet quartz]

Me as well. My partner makes double what I make

[quaint herald]

We're comfy but I wanna buy more roasts.

[silver bone]

3,5k to 11,5k zlotys per month

So $780 to $2550, roughly speaking

[dense nest]

[lilac gulch]

thats barely better than what im being paid

[quaint herald]

I kinda want to move out but at the current moment it's better if I stay home and pay little rent getting my life set up.

[silver bone]

Thing is, you generally are paid more if you're based in Warsaw...

...but living in Warsaw is 50-100% more expensive than living in other Polish cities

With maybe exception of Kraków and parts of Tri-City

So it's kind of a tricky situation

[copper gull]

But it isn't. That's base entry pilots in like a Cessna, not a big jet.

[quaint herald]

Be a legacy pilot, fly old planes and get paid. Best job in the world.

[copper gull]

A major airline isn't going to pay one of their pilots 40k.

The union would throw a fit.

[silver bone]

Well, again, people involved themselves beg to differ

And major airlines aren't exactly 90% of pilots

[copper gull]

Their unions would force strikes.

Because without the pilots, the planes don't fly.

[silver bone]

Not to mention most of people enter this six digits in debt

[copper gull]

Without the steward/stewardess, the pilots don't fly.

[dense nest]

[copper gull]

So. Again, American Airlines, Delta, etc aren't paying their pilots 30k a year to fly a 747, transatlantic, in one go.

Or transpacific.

[silver bone]

Actually, I just had a look at Alpa's info

[copper gull]

Considering you also need ~1500ish flight hours logged before you can work for a major airline as a co-pilot, your pay would be commensurate to experience.

[silver bone]

It's not exactly 100k

[copper gull]

And then you need another ~1000 hours as a copilot, for that airline - this is before you can become a "Captain".

[cursive copper]

Disney pays and treats their employees like shit

[cursive copper]

As someone who lives in Orlando where disney is the largest employer I feel like I have some insight into this lol

[quaint herald]

Dudes pocket do be WIDE.

Yeah you would haha.

Also hey thrax!

[cursive copper]

Hi Way

[copper gull]

Disney does pay them poorly. It's sad.

[cursive copper]

hi xero

[quaint herald]

How you doing?

[copper gull]

The damn boat captain driving around pays like 35k a year.

[quaint herald]

You alright?

[copper gull]

Security is $17-$18/hr

[cursive copper]

I'm alright, just finishing up some work, last week in my current role so pretty slow

Yeah, fuck disney

[quaint herald]

Bahh I've got the long way to Tipperary stuck in my head!

[copper gull]

I'm going back to Disney in October.

[cursive copper]

orly

[copper gull]

My wife's birthday & our wedding anniversary is in the same week.

[cursive copper]

i'm going in a couple weeks lul

oh nice

[copper gull]

And we're going for that, so it'll be nice.

[cursive copper]

Sounds like a good time then

Staying on property?

[copper gull]

Staying at ASM.

[quaint herald]

https://youtu.be/_PBbcTPGclE

I want to go on the Goliath roller coaster. :)

[copper gull]

We stayed at Port Orleans for our very first time last year

[silver bone]

I remember one thing about our lab salaries... well, more bureaucracy ineptitude

[copper gull]

That was nice.

[cursive copper]

ah not bad

[silver bone]

So, 6 of us Poles, identical contracts

[cursive copper]

oh nice

[silver bone]

Same department

Only different labs

Somehow, after first month, 6 of us were paid 5 different salaries

With difference between lowest and highest one being about 30%

Someone in HR had a howler

Of course they corrected it after we went to see them en masse to figure out wtf is going on

[dry elbow]

Im going to disney in december

[copper gull]

This is the only way we can afford to go 3 times in 3 years. Our first time last year, our 5 year wedding anniversary this year, and my parents first time (and me and my wife's 10 year overall anniversary) next year.

[shrewd furnace]

are you excited to see donald duck?

https://tenor.com/view/twerk-butt-donald-duck-wall-gif-5660421

[dry elbow]

donald was cool

[cursive copper]

Don't go to Disney in december

[copper gull]

I was fucking excited to see Animal Kingdom. No shit cried.

[dense nest]

[copper gull]

I went like a week before Thanksgiving.

[quaint herald]

https://youtu.be/MCMeq6EzmlU

[copper gull]

That was super fun.

[cursive copper]

no shame, they've redone all the resorts in the past few years so they're all pretty decent

[dry elbow]

my favorite disney character is Alice or Mulan

[copper gull]

My issue is with ASM... the school groups.

[dry elbow]

nah ill show you the best coaster ever

[cursive copper]

TRUE

the school groups

[quaint herald]

I'd rather go to a coaster part than a theme park? I dunno. If I had kids than I'd care more for that stuff.

[dry elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfBBq04ZScE

greatest coaster ever

[quaint herald]

OHHH.

As newer six flags coaster?

[worn yew]

Daily dose of wack weapons in MW19

[dry elbow]

128 mph

[silver bone]

tfw never been to Six Flags

[quaint herald]

In a way. I kinda want to see what six flags is like.

[copper gull]

The school groups would piss me off.

[silver bone]

But then, I hate amusement parks

[copper gull]

And im rope dropping too

[dry elbow]

that coaster i think is the fastest

[quaint herald]

It looked like an inverted inverted roller coaster LMAO.

[silver bone]

Thing is, any roller coaster will be a blur for me

Not because of speed

But because I need to take my damn glasses off

I think at this point I'm closer to 20/500 than 20/400

[dry elbow]

King da ka is basically a nightmare of height haters

that top left side corkscrews down

[silver bone]

good thing I can't and won't go there

[quaint herald]

Ahhhh boring they could have made so much more use out of that speed!

[dry elbow]

:((((((((((((((((

[dry elbow]

trust me its anything but boring

[quaint herald]

It looks fun but the end feels wasted!

[dry elbow]

it looks plain

[cursive copper]

Roller coasters are fun

[dry elbow]

but when youre on it, its incredible

[silver bone]

I was on drop tower once in my life

[quaint herald]

Oh nah dude I understand that initial push looks fun as hell.

[silver bone]

I hated every single second of it

[quaint herald]

Just round the end feel a bit wasted???

[dry elbow]

honestly its so intense you don't really want it to keep going

[quaint herald]

Yeah that's true.

[cursive copper]

@silver bone what don't you hate?

[silver bone]

food

[quaint herald]

Im on my bed watching that, I don't feel it.

[silver bone]

I have fear of heights

[quaint herald]

I got a funny story though.

[cursive copper]

that's fair

[dry elbow]

mind eraser is annoying

[silver bone]

So any rides or drop towers are my personal nightmare

[cursive copper]

also fair

[quaint herald]

I was on the tower of doom and it went BACKWARDS.

[dry elbow]

its headache simulator

[quaint herald]

I thought It would go forwards.

And it messed up my hair so badly.

My mum and the ride operators were laughing. xP.

[silver bone]

If someone tried to get me on a ride like this, I would genuinely try to punch them

[dry elbow]

spiffy punching me right in the face over a coaster

[quaint herald]

Roller coaster can be rough I can understand,

[silver bone]

Coasters are devil's contraption

[quaint herald]

Though when you brave it gives you the rush.

[silver bone]

It really didn't

[quaint herald]

Though understandably they're not for everyone.

Yeah I was adding to that.

[silver bone]

Plus, I'm not giving my glasses for safekeeping to some random

[silver bone]

Glasses are my lifeline

[waxen rover]

Hey that me!

[quaint herald]

:D

[silver bone]

And I feel extremely anxious without them

[quaint herald]

Same with my inhalers.

[silver bone]

I need to place them in very specific places

[dry elbow]

just hand your glasses to me

[silver bone]

Because if I don't leave glasses in a specific spot, I won't find them

As I'm too blind to see my glasses without glasses

[quaint herald]

I plan on going to the show this year.

[modern mesa]

Hey! I know that place and the person in the picture! Star is in a game!

[quaint herald]

It's basically a mini... carnival. I guess.

@modern mesa boo!

[silver bone]

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

[cursive copper]

@dry elbow want to go to universal studios in japan with me to see mario world

[quaint herald]

The rides are really small but really fun.

[modern mesa]

Fek off Aussie! I'm invading Russia with some german marches in the background!

and I will probably lose too

[plain lily]

I still wanna go on that

[cursive copper]

then tokyo disney sea

[quaint herald]

There's a looping roller coaster named the big dipper and it's my favourite but it's small...

I want to go on a big coaster one day.

It's one of my dreams.

[plain lily]

Just go to Cali or NJ then

[cursive copper]

Or florida

[quaint herald]

I've already completed one of my dreams (completing serious sam on serious difficulty) and so I know I can do this!

[cursive copper]

Way lives in Australia though

[quaint herald]

It depends!

[plain lily]

The problem with Florida, thrax, is its Florida

[quaint herald]

There's a former six flags part in the Netherlands.

[silver bone]

Thankfully there is not a single "proper" rollercoaster in this country

[cursive copper]

[quaint herald]

So I can go there.

[silver bone]

I think biggest one has, like, one or two 10m drops

[cursive copper]

Explains why y'all are so grumpy

[quaint herald]

Trolley down the hill.

[plain lily]

100 mph water ride when

[quaint herald]

Actually... that Reminds me of one of my desires.

I'd love to take somebody close to a (the royal) show or a park one day.

[keen hatch]

Buy a speedboat and fly it over a waterfall?

[silver bone]

Speedboats are fun

[cursive copper]

[quaint herald]

[silver bone]

Also, was on a hovercraft once, now that was cool

[quaint herald]

Trolley down the hill.

Isn't it ironic?

[dense nest]

ikr

[quaint herald]

You start to get money but you actually don't want to buy crap no more.

The most I buy is juice which is pretty much 10 to 20 dollars a week.

[cursive copper]

i buy lots of stupid crap

[dense nest]

i do too sometimes

[tropic cobalt]

when i first got large sums of money i spent them on the dumbest things, but now it's just nice to be able to buy a game without worrying about how much i have in my account

[quaint herald]

It really matters if it makes you happy.

[dense nest]

true

[quaint herald]

Reminds me of that show where people chase a cheese wheel down the hill.

[stuck vale]

dose anyone still play this game?

[tropic cobalt]

[dense nest]

[stuck vale]

[tropic cobalt]

overall the 24h peak is probably around 10k

[stuck vale]

yikes

[visual heron]

doesn't count that it's not tracking the numbers from console tho. since it's also crossplay

[stuck vale]

yeah still 10k that's not good

[quaint herald]

Uhh spitfire. When I watched a show with people basically shoving food in each other's face I realised we're what, in the year 2000~ ad and we laugh at this shit. @silver bone

Fucking better than it's lowest lol.

[quiet quartz]

No shame if you did just not for me

[dense nest]

[stuck vale]

there was just so much false adversting

[quaint herald]

Random recoil was a bitch but I mean, bf5's was pretty solid.

[modern mesa]

I'm mildly curious, although setting isn't really my cuppa

And The Outer Worlds was... well... there

[dense nest]

outer worlds was short tbh

[modern mesa]

[dry elbow]

yeah i like medieval fantasy

[dense nest]

medieval fantasy is awesome

[unkempt basin]

🤓

[visual heron]

is it 2006 again

[silver bone]

I don't, which is why I'm lukewarm about it

[dense nest]

especially when a mailman tries to give you something and gets launched 50ft in the air by a giant

[unkempt basin]

Might be, I woke up to left over pizza and cola

Feels like 2006

[quaint herald]

I don't do this much but good night guys! I love you all? ♥️

[modern mesa]

[modern mesa]

Tired? And what shall be the reason for that?

[modern mesa]

Hearts of Iron 4

[unkempt basin]

Is that a thorette pfp

[plain lily]

[copper gull]

I can't wait to get my PC built so I can play these things lol

[modern mesa]

I dont recommend. I'm playing this for 3 hours now. I have 2.3k hours in this game and it drains my life energy

[wet lichen]

hello

[dry elbow]

I want this server to get a big civ 5 game going

[worn yew]

@unkempt basin

[copper gull]

I love 4X strategy games.

[silver bone]

I would happily watch it unfold

[modern mesa]

I will join with great interest!

[unkempt basin]

If only those guns looked good

[worn yew]

THEY DONT???

[modern mesa]

same!

[unkempt basin]

I don't like their overall design

[dry elbow]

ahhh excellent

[dense nest]

civ 5??? i'll join too

[unkempt basin]

The camo is okay but too flashy

[dry elbow]

lets count so far

[dense nest]

[silver bone]

To reiterate, I said "watch", not "play"

[rough harness]

https://youtu.be/A1m8cZ44mFU

[unkempt basin]

If it was like mostly darker grey with gold engraving then it would be a good camo

[rough harness]

danny the dog is such an awesome movie

[modern mesa]

Only if I get ottomans tho, I want to listen to their beautiful music all gameplay 🦃

[silver bone]

I've played one game of any Civ in my life and it wasn't even Civ V

[dry elbow]

all we need is like 6 people

max is 8 human players iirc

but 6 works better

[unkempt basin]

I don't think I played civ but games similar to it and can't say I returned

[modern mesa]

@copper gull status update

[silver bone]

I only own 6, which, again, I played once

[dense nest]

actually i might just watch if it gets late

[silver bone]

I just about barely know the concept and that's it

[dry elbow]

Civ IV is still the best one

because you can start crusades

[silver bone]

Get Zob into this

[dry elbow]

I have to think about who i will play

[rough harness]

i heard jet li practiced real oldschool monk kungfu, so his movies might be more real fighting than jackie chan

[modern mesa]

of course Napoleon

[dry elbow]

Nah

Montezuma is pretty based

[modern mesa]

oh, right.

[dry elbow]

Aztecs are pure war criminal tier

[dense nest]

LOL

[dry elbow]

every unit they kill gives them culture

you could also go Assyrians

and play "knock knock" early

[copper gull]

Scheisse! You German?

[modern mesa]

Yawol!

[dense nest]

i know how that knock knock feels online

had plenty

[silver bone]

I feel this will be a proper apocalypse

[modern mesa]

This will surely change the tide of the war!

[silver bone]

Whoever plays Gandhi must roleplay the AI and threaten everyone with nukes

[dense nest]

i believe it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ghandi is wild

[silver bone]

I love how it all started from a bug

[carmine timber]

725 user

[dense nest]

mhm

[silver bone]

And then studio just kinda went with it

[dense nest]

it became a meme and then a feature LOL

[dense nest]

HAHAHAHA

[dry elbow]

when I play Iroquois people don't see me all game until its too late

[modern mesa]

Gonna steal that real quick

[dry elbow]

iroquois are actually broken

[silver bone]

For the record

[dry elbow]

33% combat bonus in forest/jungle tiles and their mohawk warriors require 0 iron

[dense nest]

i agree

[silver bone]

In my only game of Civ VI Gandhi went to town on my nation within 5 minutes of me discovering him

[dense nest]

that is broken asf

[dry elbow]

Japan also pretty based

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

they have Bushido Passive

so no matter how many men are dead in a squad, they fight as if they had a full squad

theres many videos of 1 samurai killing two squads

[copper gull]

Eeeeee

[dense nest]

Japan is pure chad energy

against all odds

[dry elbow]

americans have the funniest ability

[modern mesa]

Bonk em!

[dry elbow]

because it fits their history to a T

literally called Manifest Destiny

all their land units have +1 sight and all their purchasable tiles are 50% off

[dense nest]

lmao

[dry elbow]

american players just buy tiles the whole game

[dense nest]

me when i wonder how tf they got so big

now i know

been a while since i've played 5 tho

i should re-install

been on civ 6

[modern mesa]

@dry elbow ! Do you recommend ''Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom'' ?

[dense nest]

gameplay is good

story meh

[dry elbow]

what zyro said

[modern mesa]

I thank both of you for the feedback

[dry elbow]

@silver bone playing civ with me is a disaster

[dense nest]

ni no kuni 1 is better for story

[lilac gulch]

i recommend the award winning Black Baby Game

[silver bone]

At least you know how to play it

[dry elbow]

I've had people just say they don't want to play the game with me anymore

because I get too competitive when it comes to domination games

[lilac gulch]

is it because you don't manage your civilization well or something?

[dry elbow]

no its because I fuck up people trying to build up their civ

[silver bone]

I would have never guessed

[dry elbow]

and I actually get city states on my side instead of invading them

[lilac gulch]

if we play, you can dominate my civ, as long as my religion spreads

[dry elbow]

so they always help me in war

[dense nest]

me in 1500 rolls up with a random tank
random player: wtfff hacker!

[lilac gulch]

the religion of Type5ianity

[dry elbow]

I follow the type 5 religion already

[lilac gulch]

then i see our civilizations can work together

[silver bone]

Miki being competitive in world domination game

Shocker

[dry elbow]

I only enter diplomatic marriages with people who play the Type 5

[lilac gulch]

Miki is evil? Already knew that

[dense nest]

LOL

[lilac gulch]

she is a marvel villian

[silver bone]

From pool of all five of them living on this planet?

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

with a 58.73% WR

and a 2415 WN8

his DPG is 2800

[silver bone]

Meanwhile, I'm suffering in Chi-Nu so badly that I'm tempted to just use up all free XP and skip it

[dense nest]

LOL

[dry elbow]

the only free Xp i used to skip a vehicle was the tier 8

[silver bone]

Issue being

From what I see the cheeto isn't exactly any better

[dry elbow]

the tier 8 is so bad I said "nope"

but then you get in a tank like the type 61

and laugh and laugh

[silver bone]

I just suffer

Two days in a row of winrate under 30%

And it's not like I could do much, almost every match is just a total blowout

[dry elbow]

the type of tank that is true suffering for the enemy

[dense nest]

it looks smol

[dry elbow]

it is

then you get the superior STB1

[lilac gulch]

i keep getting garbage matchmaking

in O-I

all hill maps, with op tanks on enemy team

[dense nest]

thats like having a magicarp to a gyarados

[lilac gulch]

panther hit my ammo and insta killed me. what the hell am i supposed to do in these garbage matches

[dense nest]

[dry elbow]

the OI shows you the JP knew how to make tanks

[lilac gulch]

ya i get put in +2 matchmaking with LEFHS and die instantly

[dense nest]

lmao

[lilac gulch]

cause every map I get ARE ONLY the open maps

[dry elbow]

superior tanks

[lilac gulch]

i havent gotten a city map for a week

[dense nest]

that tank looks kinda..

square

[dry elbow]

make sure when you get the type 5

every event you're looking to get the Kaiju 3d style

literally the best 3D model for that tank

[silver bone]

Safe to say, I won't get it for at least a couple years

[lilac gulch]

another loss

another bad team

[dense nest]

lel

[lilac gulch]

we lost before i even got to the fight

[unkempt basin]

Blame the team, it's what i do despite being last on the leader board

[silver bone]

Heavy tank life at its finest

By the time you make it to frontline, it's 1-7

[sharp jasper]

[lilac gulch]

it was a 2 minute battle. the entire enemy team rushed the hill and my teammates sucided one by one going up the hill

[sharp jasper]

hey yall

[dry elbow]

heavy tanks are funny

[lilac gulch]

malinovka. perfect for an O-I with 2 artys

[dry elbow]

most people drive heavy tanks the same way an NPC would drive a tank

[silver bone]

Ah, yes, my favorite Maus map

Where I get shot within 50m of moving from base

[dry elbow]

how do you guys get hit with so much arty

[silver bone]

And can't even fight properly because everyone is hull down

And half of server runs tanks that don't even have cupolas

So all I see is red

[dry elbow]

oh yeah because RU

[silver bone]

More like any tank with Maus

At most you get a speck of orange outside cupola

[sharp jasper]

[dry elbow]

RU tanks have 0 cupola

so its just game over if they sit near a rock

[sharp jasper]

🤣

[silver bone]

And it's tough to aim at any cupola anyway when you're 10m below someone

[dry elbow]

they also have infinite armor in the sides

[sharp jasper]

[silver bone]

aka Malinovka hill

[sharp jasper]

🙏

[dry elbow]

and then in WT you dont see RU tanks

everyone is in an american tank

[dense nest]

Yeaaah, you tried to mount Operation Barbarossa 2.0

[sharp jasper]

or enlisted

[modern mesa]

It was actually 1.0, however I started in 1942 too

I couldnt even finish africa nor france in 41

[copper gull]

Well, no, I mean, this is 2022.

[modern mesa]

[copper gull]

So, see, you tried again

Lol

[modern mesa]

OH wait, YEAH

Just uhmm

make me the president

and watch

[copper gull]

Lol

[modern mesa]

[copper gull]

Just make yourself the president of Malta.

And then fight everyone

[modern mesa]

Cult of Malta

[sharp jasper]

what are you young bloods talking about

[copper gull]

Or, I recommend starting out as Ireland.

[unkempt basin]

Minecraft

[modern mesa]

I just need dudes, I will command them to victory

[copper gull]

And then taking over Britain/Scotland.

[sharp jasper]

minecraft has a ww2 mod

[copper gull]

And then make the Irish rise again.

[modern mesa]

did that before, was pain

[modern mesa]

secret plan of ours to conquer the world

its very secret. so shushh

[copper gull]

Or, better yet, make a country in Africa a world power.

[modern mesa]

Oh? That gave me an idea

[unkempt basin]

I have a cut on my finger just around 0.30cm deep and I keep getting it caught on things which makes it bleed again

[modern mesa]

[copper gull]

Start out as like, idk, Kenya or something.

[modern mesa]

Nigeria actually has resources and some factories

[dry elbow]

remake the kingdom of kush

[copper gull]

Yes! Ethiopia or Ghana or Madagascar

[sharp jasper]

have you seen joe

[modern mesa]

shhhh, its our secret plan. Conquering the world

[copper gull]

Angola?

[unkempt basin]

I cover it with a sticky plaster but it'll only stay of I don't bend it but it's the swear word finger

[modern mesa]

nah, portugese did bad to them

[copper gull]

What country in Africa wasn't colonized during WW2? LMAO

[sharp jasper]

have you. seen joe

[dry elbow]

Ethiopia

[modern mesa]

They were all colonised, some people call Liberia not but. Meh, they still had influence over them

[sharp jasper]

has any juan seen joe

[dry elbow]

Ethiopia i believe stands as the only african country in history not colonized by euros

[rough harness]

oh i found one of my fav more recent eminem songs. Love Game. I dont dare to share it here if i get banned

[modern mesa]

They did have some fights and other stuff. Its just probably no one thought of them having any resource. And plus + Mountains

[unkempt basin]

He walks away fine

[dry elbow]

against italians yes

and they had a pre ww2 war as well

with also italians

[lilac gulch]

anyone seen abridged on titan or slap on titan?

[dry elbow]

which would be the battle of Adwa

[copper gull]

Ethiopia was colonized by Italy in 36

[dry elbow]

they were never colonized. they were at war

invading ethiopia also doesn't count as colonizing

since they got bodied

[lilac gulch]

guess not

[dry elbow]

italy took ethiopia from 2 sides

[modern mesa]

But yes, Ethiopia is the only one who did not get bullied by Europeans

[copper gull]

They colonized.

[dry elbow]

northeast and southeast

they never colonized the entirety of ethiopia

if they did, there would be virtually no reason for them to have lost

[versed pier]

According to Google Italy beat Ethiopia in a war and ruled from 1936 - 1941, and actually helped build infrastructure

[copper gull]

Invaded and occupied = colonized

[sharp jasper]

he might have a brain bleed

[sharp jasper]

Eh, the Germans invaded and occupied Poland, doesn't mean they colonized Poland

[copper gull]

Also, Italy controlled Ethiopia at the onset of WW2

[lilac forge]

That sound he made when he hit the floor tho

[unkempt basin]

It's been modified

[sharp jasper]

every one take out there note book

[modern mesa]

Ethiopian occupation is different tho. Yes they were occupied but not exactly ''colonised''

[dry elbow]

there was no colony going on

[lilac gulch]

but where were the British?

[modern mesa]

And it takes time too, to colonise

[carmine timber]
