[tame cairn]

think cosmetic mtx is purely stupid

[inland oasis]

But I do feel if you want a skin for like 99cemts, why tf not

It’s a dollar lol

[tame cairn]

i would like to earn that skin..

not pay for it..

[dry copper]

Then they give you camoflage in a PVP game for "cosmetics"

[inland oasis]

This too

[tranquil glen]

anything on my personal computer I should have full rights to modify in anyway shape or form I chose to, if a game in anyway blocks me from such and is solo, I would either uninstall, brick, or break the game.

that is for offline gaming not online^

[tame cairn]

great example is halo infinite

they dropped the ball

hard

[inland oasis]

Yea unlockabke content vs paid content is a whole other spectrum

And when that starts to fuse

Buying the unlock able shit

[tranquil glen]

glad that ESO has free ESO+ times

[inland oasis]

It gets rly bad

[sleek cloud]

at least ESO has a tonne of content to justify paying for it

imo anyway

[austere lance]

ESO is a heinous grind and I greatly dislike the gameplay, Fallout 76 is much better imo

[tame cairn]

i will always think mtx is bad, when its cosmetics and predatory, unless its really not needed like helldivers

simply for lazy people

[tranquil glen]

least you dont have to worry about ammo at all in ESO

[tame cairn]

and DD2

[inland oasis]

76 is heinous about storage 😂

[austere lance]

So is ESO

[inland oasis]

Fallout 1st

[tranquil glen]

ESO+

[inland oasis]

Apples to apples lol

[tame cairn]

as much as i do not like mmo's i hope dune awakening is good.

[austere lance]

You don't really in F76 these days either, lol. Enemies tend to drop more bullets than I've shot them with 😆

[tame cairn]

cuz i like dune

[dry copper]

I hate the crafting system in ESO but I like the gameplay. The crafting system and every single subsystem related to it is built around a resource economy that encourages hoarding and then punishes you for it if you aren't paying a subscription fee.

[tranquil glen]

just cause you drop more doesnt mean you dont have to worry about it

[tame cairn]

ill never get into eso lmao

i even tried it recently

i just can't..

[inland oasis]

F76 would be top tier imo if they just went with FO4 storage. But since that negates the need for the subscription it’ll never happen

[tame cairn]

the gameplay is SO bad.

[inland oasis]

Even tho ud still have people buying it for pvt server

[tranquil glen]

also funny to me that most of ESO is made for vets

[dry copper]

I can't play FO4 for more than a few weeks once in a while. I burn out pretty fast when I see all the shit behind invisible paywalls.

[inland oasis]

I despise when games tweak for the elite 1%RS in there game and not the vast majority

[dry copper]

End game content shouldn't be only available after you've beaten the game

That is to say, weapons

Armor

[tame cairn]

ESO is basically for the ES lore people, who dont care about the gameplay and just the lore

[dry copper]

The best sets in the game you can't even get until you beat the main story

[tranquil glen]

your first char that hits level 50 is the only one that has to in ESO or so ive been told

[inland oasis]

I mean if I wanna make the game a cakewalk I should be able to but at the same time a games gotta be its own thing too

There’s a balance to it

I don’t always wanna start as a god but again it’s all opinon based

[dry copper]

The gold bullion system in FO76 pisses me off

[inland oasis]

Gold in RDR2 lmao

Lemme just spend a week finding it around the map. But instead it just one time pickup

[tame cairn]

at least rdo has glitches...

[tranquil glen]

and the trade system in skyrim pisses me off vs fo4

[inland oasis]

At least I’m playing the game

[dry copper]

It's a system you don't even really get to touch on until you finish the main story and the content locked in it requires a lot of extra work...for rewards that you'd likely wanted to use for the games story content.

[inland oasis]

Player retention has no value if your not constantly charging people. Lol so companies don’t care IF you play. But if you buy only

Never had a game wish me back lol. Just to buy more content 😂

[dry copper]

They developed fo76's content after the main story as secondary to the narrative, making it feel less like a progressive narrative one can add onto and more like a rush to relevance

[tame cairn]

rdo is just true sadness

[dry copper]

Even now with the new DLC which adds the ability to become a ghoul, it is just tacked onto the story

[inland oasis]

So much wasted potential

That’s why I got RedM and modded servers

[dry copper]

I liked RDO but I grew tired of the daily grind

[tame cairn]

its a grind to get gold legitimately
and there's only a few jobs you can even do, most of them are so insignificant that you dont even wanna spend your gold on them

[dry copper]

Login, deliver shit, get acknowledged from daily gathering, log off

[inland oasis]

Not to mention getting literal cents, and .x amounts of gold

[pure zinc]

I love playing aggressive in fn. It makes for some hella hot clips lol

[inland oasis]

When things costed like 1000$

[tame cairn]

and there's TWO vehicles in the entirety of RDO

[tame cairn]

well a few hundred but yeah still

but thats why i just glitch money

[dry copper]

Fortnite's building mechanic is fucking annoying

[tame cairn]

but when i do that, there's nothing to do anymore

[inland oasis]

Deff aggressive lol. Seemed like you had the next play planned out ahead of time Everytime

[tame cairn]

cuz rdo is so empty

[pure zinc]

That’s why I play zero build

[dry copper]

I feel like I'm playing tag with a 12 year old screaming "YOU MISSED" because dude keeps putting up walls

[pure zinc]

Zero build is so fun

[inland oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/icyconnor-icygang-fortnite-edit-build-gif-25194402

[tame cairn]

its the dumbest shit in any game ever

[inland oasis]

Gives me a seizure lmao

[pure zinc]

And seeing all the skins makes it kinda funny

[tame cairn]

probably almost as bad as slide cancelling

and the wall bouncing in gears

just rapid camera movements

looks like they're showing gameplay of a seizure

[inland oasis]

I got whiplash once just watching a Fortnite build 😂

[pure zinc]

I used to wall bounce in gears TwT

[dry copper]

The developers of fortnite should've removed that bs mechanic long ago. Now it's just a technique

[tame cairn]

it looks..too sweaty

for a gears game

[fleet moat]

Sorry, late again. Exactly this! Some devs also funnel you to improve engagement to increase population (in respect to MP). But doing the most tediously repetitive and annoying tasks.

[pure zinc]

Gears 5 is a pure sweat fest bc of how easy it is to wall bounce

I kinda like it sometimes tho

Getting kills in gears is satisfying

[tame cairn]

i mean if you're good at something then i can see it
just not for me

[pure zinc]

Yea, that’s fair

[inland oasis]

As someone who used to play cod, when I went into gears, oh my what a change of combat it was. Run and gun is like NOT the play 😂

[sleek cloud]

always loved the shotgun in Gears

[tame cairn]

i used to be one of the slide cancelling CoD boys

grew away from that

but yea

[inland oasis]

Wasn’t there a weapon called hammer of dawn? Like an orbital beam?

[tame cairn]

man, just look up gears wall bouncing

[pure zinc]

Ye

[tame cairn]

😭

[dry copper]

There are always three metrics a developer should pay attention to when building an online game. Overtime: How many are online? How many are new? and How many remain. All three of these metrics will determine the success of any game. Ya need players, consistently and new to replace old blood....and any game developer worth their salt should be paying close attention when one of those metrics starts to fail...because the rest will fail shortly after

[inland oasis]

Good times

[austere lance]

The only mode I play, lol

[pure zinc]

Fr

Main reason I stopped playing builds, is because the new movement tech

[inland oasis]

I remember when Fortnite had a story mode or something like that

[pure zinc]

It doesn’t go well together

[pure zinc]

It still kinda does

[dry copper]

My favorite story was the one where that kid destroyed tomato town

[pure zinc]

😭

[tranquil glen]

still does, was never really the main point of fortnite after stremurs made BR more popular

[tame cairn]

yep

[inland oasis]

One of the quotes a bunch of my buddies got stuck on when we used to play it was “we’re dropping TWISTED TOWERS”

[tame cairn]

even tho the name is based off that part

[inland oasis]

I never wanted to go there

Was always a hot drop

[tranquil glen]

personally liked codmbr for that instead

bc then i could just drop killhouse and get good armor until they brought out more range rifles

[inland oasis]

When BR’s were making there rounds I was an angry gamer. I disliked BR’s being sold as a standalone game when in MY opinion it’s simply a “game mode” that should be in a full game.

I wanted BRs to fail so badly

[tranquil glen]

funny that ESO+ has more payment options yet is $15 (monthly quarterly, twice annually, once annually) and Fallout 1st is $13 and has per month or annually

[tranquil glen]

codmbr (cod mobile br) has its own multiplayer in zombies and is NOT Warzone mobile

[dry copper]

Did you know if you have Disney+ and cancel, they'll offer you a discounted subscription to continue?

[tranquil glen]

yep

its why they shit

[inland oasis]

That’s fucked

That’s how I felt after I bought a game full price to see it go on sale. (Yes I could’ve refunded and gotten it again but meh) I’m lazy

[austere lance]

I'll do ya one better, lol. I canceled my HBO Max for a couple months then they got desperate and offered me an $8 a month deal for their premium subscription for like a year 🤣

Normally it's almost $20 a month, lol

[tranquil glen]

was that an automated deal, or could you negotiate?

frostpunk 2, why still $44.99 agh

[dry copper]

Can't even get HBO max in Canada. You have to sign up for Crave to get it.

Crave is a separate subscription service

[quaint escarp]

i think spotify is already too much, i wont pay for morr

[dry copper]

Crave also bought the rights to Vikings

[austere lance]

Think it was automated, and I'm pretty sure nobody at the company has actually checked my sub. I vaguely remember the deal only being for like 6 months, but I'm well past that now and still getting the discount 😆

[dry copper]

So even though I have access to it legally on streaming services, I can't watch it because it's blocked in Canada unless it's through Crave

[quaint escarp]

i was on spotify premium for students and it went back to the regular price but i got to keep the hulu sub

[dry copper]

Crave is just doing what the broadcasters were doing for years, in a smaller package

[inland oasis]

Honestly, a human not checking the interaction of a service change that happened by an autonomous service anyways, seems extremely likely. Lmao lucky ass

[austere lance]

They're all gonna do that shit soon. Disney, Hulu, and ESPN have been a bundle for a while and I think they're adding Discovery and something else to it soon

[quaint escarp]

its basically turning back into cable but more expensive lol

[dry copper]

It's only a matter of time before the CRTC goes ape shit again

[quaint escarp]

at least now you have the convenience of watching on any screen

[dry copper]

I'm getting petty rn. I ordered groceries with a door dash like service. They offer a discount if you order in a 3 hour window...I ordered normal. It's now way past the 3 hour window...and I want my discount. If they can't honor my time, they should at least honor their offers.

[inland oasis]

Is being a disgruntled customer for legitimate reasons really petty?
If so sign me up too

If my food I order ain’t right I expect it fixed. Or compensation. All the while I understand mistakes happen. lol

I thought you were gonna say it’s cuz they were 30 seconds late. That’d be a lil petty 😂

[restive tusk]

Pizza Pizza used to have an offer.
if your pizza is not home within 20 minuts or something, your order was free

[dry copper]

I once ordered pizza from a place called pizza pizza. You'd think they'd be good at their namesake. The pizza was undercooked, the dough raw; these things I didn't notice until I'd already eaten some of it...and threw up all over the floor.

I complained, they denied my claim. I told them come get it and check yourself. We got into a tiff on the phone over it. I called their corporate head office and complained to their regional franchise manager.

Got a phone call later on from the pizza store offered me free pizza. I told them no thanks. They said they were at the door. I told them I don't want it. They said where should they put it. I told them up their ass and hung up.

[austere lance]

[sleek cloud]

next time i order food it will either be a pizza or chinese

[restive tusk]

i'd just go with a chinese pizza tbh

[dry copper]

Sushi pizza

[restive tusk]

why making it hard with decisions

[sleek cloud]

chicken fried rice pizza 😄

[dry copper]

Pizza tempura (nm tempura is japanese)

[restive tusk]

an old chinese restaurant in toronto's chinatown used to have a dish called fukin fried rice

i tried it once

[sleek cloud]

was it fukin delicious ?

[inland oasis]

Beautiful 🥹

[restive tusk]

it was. but also looked fukin nasty.
there was somewhat of a slimy thing on it

[austere lance]

Chinese restaurants around here are ridiculously expensive, so we order out Panda Express instead 😆

[inland oasis]

I love Chinese take out

[sleek cloud]

got some of that hawk tuah on it

[inland oasis]

NOOO lmao

[austere lance]

STEF NOOOOOOO

[inland oasis]

LMAOOO

I can’t react harder

[dry copper]

Sounds like a chinese fedex

[restive tusk]

smh

[dry copper]

"We made your food out of a box truck"

[austere lance]

Close enough, lol. It's the Chinese food equivalent of fast food 😆

[dry copper]

I like those little cafeteria places

[inland oasis]

The day I found out the little cartons the rice comes in unfolds into a plate. I was astonished

[dry copper]

Most of them at least

[austere lance]

I'm trying not to fuckin cackle in the break room at work 🤣

[austere lance]

The only counter attack to the Burger King foot lettuce

[restive tusk]

bk foot lettuce? 😬

[dry copper]

It is so weird to see front page news media from india front paging on google rn, about a tiktok girl on the question as to whether or not Hawk Tuah girl got fired.

[inland oasis]

Oh that voice

Dude speaks in cursive I swear to god

[sleek cloud]

seen someone get a tattoo of her face and hawk tuah written on there

[austere lance]

Hawk Tuah girl and Waffle House Wendy need to do a podcast together 🤣

[dry copper]

I've no idea what the meme is.

I'm so glad

Bless your heart 🙂

[sleek cloud]

it's the context behind it

[restive tusk]

no that's for achhoo

[inland oasis]

Oh bless you

[restive tusk]

🙇

[inland oasis]

But it’s for what?

[dry copper]

Or she could be doing the sound they make in Street Fighter when they fire balls of plasma

[inland oasis]

She’s obviously imatating a bile spitter from helldivers 2

[sleek cloud]

wouldn't be surprised if she's made into a Mortal Kombat character or something

[dry copper]

Because she's blonde, obv

[inland oasis]

I’ve seen her as reptile

Already

[dry copper]

lol

[restive tusk]

i just got reminded of the wing stop girl

[inland oasis]

Wish I could find it

[restive tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M2QQg3LonfI

[sleek cloud]

imagine taking her out on a date and the food is late

[dry copper]

She deserves to starve with an attitude like that. It's clear she's going through something and starving is not the cause.

[inland oasis]

Wings ain’t to be trifled with

[dry copper]

Give it a few years and she'll be 150 lbs over weight wondering why

[restive tusk]

oh this may be of interest

[mental rose]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-no-please-no-gif-5026106

Feels like a trend is starting... and it's a 2021 game...

[dry copper]

Why delisted?

[restive tusk]

strange to me too.
but will it mean only online and multiplayer not accessible, or can't even launch the game?

[dry copper]

Typically delisted just means you can't buy it anymore

[restive tusk]

maybe they don't wanna support anymore, and want ppl to move to fh5

[mental rose]

"Players who already own the game and its content will be able to download and play it as normal, including its offline, online, and multiplayer features; physical copies of the game purchased after this date will also work and will be able to use online features."

[dry copper]

In so far as mp is concerned, if the game uses the person launching as the host, it wouldn't impact that.

[restive tusk]

yea, so i guess they don't wanna sell it anymore

forcing new players to buy fh5 instead

[sleek cloud]

push more to use their game pass service maybe

[dry copper]

Or they don't want to support it in terms of fixes and updates

Easier to just write it off

[restive tusk]

yea, or maybe even tech support ya kno

[mental rose]

Just like how Rocksteady delisted GTA trilogy, forcing people to play the "definitive edition" instead 🙄

[restive tusk]

and since fh5 is a similar game, just less british

[dry copper]

Less british? Yas queen

[mental rose]

Well tbh, you can still buy them on Rocksteady's launcher allegedly, but I ain't DL'ing it to check 😄

[dry copper]

This is going to be the new version of planned obsolescence. Surprise break your shit.

[mental rose]

"Ok, gov'na!"

Man... Killing Floor 3 better still have the funny british characters. It's the one reason I love playing them

i've got some nice outfits for him rn i think

bit of a spam here..

Looks like Dr Disrespect feels...."disrespected" lol

About time that guy took the L he has always been.

[silver sparrow]

Amen to that

Reap the whirlwind you pigfucker

[dry copper]

...That's not what he admitted to

[silver sparrow]

He admitted to nothing but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it

[dry copper]

Technically yes he did.

“Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more."
He pulled a response straight from To Catch A Predator

[austere lance]

Went from a .DOC to a .PDF

[dry copper]

Someone's been reading the comments section

[austere lance]

[austere lance]

Real

So like, are YouTube and Twitch gonna delete his old videos or is he still gonna make money off em somehow

[dry copper]

I doubt it.

I suspect he's just going to "retire" and liquidate his assets before they are worthless.

Then come back as someone else

He'll live a meager existence as a ghost in the machine until someone puts two and two together and figures out it's him then disappear again

Either that or he'll just join kik and try to get streaming as a thing on that platform

He may just kill off Dr Disrespect as a character entirely and pretend that's his punishment for sexting children

[shadow tartan]

[dry copper]

Dr Disrespect be all like...

it makes them money so no

Yup

You can never tell

[quaint escarp]

everyone focused on him but twitch has let this hide away until a former employee spoke up

he would've stayed streaming

[dry copper]

I bet this twit isn't aging well.

[quaint escarp]

it did age well youtube prob knew

[dry copper]

There's a good reason to not publically shame him. It's called protecting a minor.

[quaint escarp]

u can do so without revealing their name or identity

[dry copper]

It doesn't matter how many people shit on Dr Disrespect. That minor would be attacked by his sycophants for the rest of her life.

[shadow tartan]

Dr Disrespect living up to his namesake?

[quaint escarp]

its $20

[quaint escarp]

do they not put them in a registry for that?

they put them in a sex offender registry here in the states

What I'd do for this skin...Give him blonde hair, blue jeans and change his moustache to more...predatory looking

Swap the glasses for more square shaped frames

Light brown trench coat optional

[restive tusk]

it's been a while since i've felt expectant about an mmo but im actually looking forward to this and Outlaws

ofc Outlaws already has a problem right off the bat, called ubisoft

[dry copper]

This will be an interesting approach

[shadow tartan]

Yeah they do but I'm trying to figure out what happened.
To be honest I couldn't stand this POS when I worked with him and I kinda just want to do what I do to idiots.

[dry copper]

Dune Awakening will also allow private servers for some of the game elements

The Hagga Basin Map is planned to allow private servers

I think that's going to be the map where building is

[tranquil glen]

more interesting is weekly map change for the deep desert

[restive tusk]

aka weekly resets

i don't mind if thats where the core of end game is.
prevents the whole feeling of fomo, or rookies being overwhelmed for being ages behind

[austere lance]

Outlaws isn't an MMO tho

[restive tusk]

😬 it wasn't outlaws then

there was another game in development supposed to be an mmo

[primal loom]

👀

[restive tusk]

it's like EA now releasing a new Fifa every year

[primal loom]

Lol

The last one was in 2021 so it's not that bad

[restive tusk]

well it's been 3 years. hopefully now there will be some major improvements

[restive tusk]

oh i thought it was 22.
🤔 think i played both

[primal loom]

22 released in November of 2021, how confusing 😅

[restive tusk]

oh lol ok

to me it felt like going from CMS 19 to 21

didn't feel major differences worth justifying a sequel but eh

[primal loom]

Yeah I feel that

I only entered the series with 22, but from what I've seen of FS19 it doesn't seem like much changed

Seasons/months being the largest thing I noticed

I wish that the developers of Farming Simulator would create a version in UE 5

The engine used in farming simulator is a piece of shit

They couldn't even sell it. They only saw its successful distribution in the game itself.

Farming Simulator, Ski Region Simulator...That's it

Oop found another one!

Demolition Company

All games look like they were made for playstation 1

[shadow tartan]

I remember this looking great fun though

I don't know. I do like demolition, but thinking of the overall functionality of a title, it looks more like a gimmick than a game

Played some Forever Skies. It's getting a lot better

It's a little fast paced

Eww I didn't know this until today

Ashton Kutcher was making out with a 14 year old girl in That 70's Show

He was 19 at the time

I didn't know you could legally endorse and promote what is essentially a crime

The casting director can't say they didn't know because on the first day of table reading Kutcher flat out told Kurtwood that he was nervous because Kunis was 14 and he had to make out with her.

hollywood are fuckin disgusting

[tame cairn]

before

oh it was already answered

oops

[austere lance]

And then he married her when she was legal age 💀

They're still married and have multiple kids btw

[dry copper]

Someone in hollywood spent a lot of money to make a tv show that at its rotten root core was designed structurally to groom a child

[austere lance]

Mila lied and told the casting director she was 17

[dry copper]

They knew at the very first table reading she was 14

When they say they found out later, it was almost immediate in production time

That's before even filming anything

kutcher told kurkwood she was 14 at the table reading, according to kurkwood

I've been loving it, the only issue I've had is with occasional DX12 shader compilation stutter during gameplay, but that was a problem with the main game already

Old 90s game around the same time as Myst

Was on a bunch of platforms including Philips CDi

I've never heard about it till now, looks awesome

That music 👀

That would have scared the pants off of me as a kid 😂

[shadow tartan]

I was 10, it was pretty damn scary

[restive tusk]

for certain parts it gives me Grim Fandango vibes

[shadow tartan]

Love that game, got the remaster too but encountered a blocker and deleted it

[restive tusk]

i did hear rumours about the remaster

still have my physical copy, sadly it won't run on modern machine even with compat modes

and im not doing a VM just for it

that's if the frame rate would even work properly, forget what it's called, but very old games had this issue of looking super fast cause the frame rate would be wacky

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I have it too, it doesn't run at all?

[restive tusk]

it did not for me on windows 10

tried a few diff things

[shadow tartan]

The remaster is worth it but the blocker I had was in the original too I'm pretty sure, in the office at the beginning.
I really loved that game, the love story with Mercedes was really good too

[restive tusk]

oh i think i remember something like that. i was blocked for ages too back then

then i remember reading a guide up to that part and managed to pass it

man memory fails me hard. but i think you were supposed to exit the office through the window

[shadow tartan]

@restive tusk this was a 100% blocker, couldn't progress had to start again, I used to remember the game off by heart same as Monkey Island.
Kinda pissed me off that the bug was still there

@restive tusk @idle saffron
https://youtu.be/sw0VfmXKq54

I wonder if properties expire

in pax dei

It would suck for the game if some rich bitch decided to buy up a bunch of land for its subscription crap, walling off resources and then just never play again - removing those resources from the available table to gather from for everyone else around them

...and that is definitely going to happen

It's happening even now in testing

hm thanks

[dry copper]

Are there any quieter guns in HD2?

I was watching some interviews with devs. They added some mechanics to create realistic attention...which lends to how "stealth" would work

Example: If you call down equipment right after landing, you attract patrols. They don't acknowledge your landing craft but they do acknowledge your equipment dropship when moving around.

Bugs can hear, see and smell you

You can stealth if careful

[inland oasis]

bs. you can lay next to a patrol practically and theyll walk by if your prone in light gear

[dry copper]

Depends on the bug

[inland oasis]

patrols.

ive done it several times

units never mattered for me.

[dry copper]

You're surprised that you can hide?

[inland oasis]

in plain sight? yea.

kinda like the t-rex moment. "if i stay still they wont see me" type stealth xD

[dry copper]

It's possible. I don't know how their eyesight was designed.

[inland oasis]

not saying its bad but its not advanced rly lmao

hardly a stealth game or meant to be

so yea im glad and surprised to see if theyd add more "stealth" additions

[dry copper]

From what I've seen....their discussion on the subject is to make these elements of the game emergent gameplay...not necessarily structured and intended

Like using things that create noise as tools to redirect patrols

[inland oasis]

It’s literally an open close case. Dudes doing the shittiest things in the scummiest most carefree way.

Coffee's cases usually lead to actual criminal charges

That’s fucked up.

[inland oasis]

But also perfect ammunition to be reused against him.

There is NO flipping that to sound good

Period

Game over

[obtuse reef]

He’s practically begging to get arrested

He is doing a shitty thing to get personal info for shady and illegal reasons

How has nobody alerted the police

[inland oasis]

And it’s all because people are accusing him (correctly imo) of his scams. Irony. It’s like telling a cop your drugs were stolen

Fuckin idiot I swear lmao

Coffees results usually end up in criminal charges probably cuz he’s the one person that ACTUALLY invests the time to legally report it to feds/police/whatever. And FOLLOW UP and through with it, and not for clout.

We don’t even see that part

[obtuse reef]

I don’t understand people who doxx and swat others

Because someone called you out for the piece of shit you are?

[inland oasis]

Yea it’s disgusting that it takes so long for any action or involvement from the proper channels too

We get lucky with a Good Samaritan

[dry copper]

Often these cases are multinational with jurisdictions rarely interested in working together.

Worse, the people who decide to push these cases are too stupid to understand what they have or have an interest in not pushing them

So ontop of finding enough evidence to get it before a judge....it has to be damning enough for it to be unprofitable to ignore

[obtuse reef]

And people who swat others think it’s a funny joke, despite the fact that people have been killed

Now you don't have to

[shadow tartan]

Gonna listen to the music now though

[shadow tartan]

Nah I should

[dry copper]

You've pretty much seen the entire game in a single picture

[shadow tartan]

Yeah but I wanna

It's only a fiver

[primal loom]

Prettyyy

[dry copper]

You could spent that fiver on fiver to pay for some poor man on the internet to read your script in a rich Norwegian accent cobbled together in broken english from an education stapled in poverty in his epic quest to one day fulfill his life dream of becoming a voice actor for a scottish super hero cartoon.

[shadow tartan]

I already give money to put kids through education where my dad comes from

Orphans n shit

[dry copper]

Does your dad know that you're paying for his kids to go to school?

😛

[shadow tartan]

Hahaha

My dad isn't Thomas Wayne

[dry copper]

That means you're dick...whats his name.

The robin guy

[shadow tartan]

Dick Grayson

Gray Dick Son

[dry copper]

Now it makes sense

All the pieces are coming together

[shadow tartan]

Like a jigsaw puzzle of sorts....

Like some kind of..... detective story

[dry copper]

Starbase is back in development...so that's nice

Thought it was gunna be dead forever

[finite hazel]

😛

[inland oasis]

#other-games message also these awhile ago

[finite hazel]

[mortal knot]

epic

[mortal knot]

i use lennys outfit changer to get the marshal badge

then i pretend to be law lol

lawfully kill people lmao

using no wanted glitch

[shadow tartan]

Reminds me of the Blade Runner intro

[finite hazel]

there's a very pyramid like building on the left there yeah, half cut, but very nice

[shadow tartan]

OMG

And @dry copper said I shouldn't spend a fiver...

Pfff

[finite hazel]

honestly, now that i've played it for a while - it does still have some work to go, some more polish, but it's very very enjoyable, especially if you love this music genre, let's call it like that

i'm often thinking about life, and choices i have to make soon, etc

relaxing, no bs when trying to build up, camera controls are decent and do the job fairly well, controls could use a touch up here and there

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I understand after having the music on past couple of hours. Making me think about life like Death Stranding did

[finite hazel]

and yeah, often not even doing or adding any buildings, no pressure, no need to manage the city

[mental rose]

In Dystopika you just build a Cyberpunk city and that's it, right?
There's no actual mechanics unlike in say, Cities Skylines?

So it's like... fancy photo mode with city building?

[finite hazel]

yeah, no managing city resource production, or citizen happiness or whatever

simply put, it's a city builder, with photo mode

but to me it's starting to become more than that really

i can't really describe it

music is really something isn't it

[mental rose]

I think I sort of understand.
The reason I play Car Mechanic Sim, is because there's something special about buying a rusty husk at a scrapyard, and restoring it to pristine condition.

It's Zen

[finite hazel]

such a big part in games, this one is no different

[finite hazel]

right, zen.

gives you the space back

the space to take a step back, to take a deep breath, to browse your thoughts for a bit

[mental rose]

It's part of the reason people like Powerwash Sim 😄

I think...

[finite hazel]

hehe

definitely to each their own

i'm going to start playing dystopika with rain sounds playing in the background

i think that's one thing that will really make my experience better, as i really like the sound of rain

👀 thank you

[frigid yarrow]

This right here

Is the GOTY for me

[finite hazel]

joan i think you'd love this game

[frigid yarrow]

It has everything i've ever wished in a city builder, + its my fave building style, cyberpunk ish

I do like to make Mediterranean towns tho, but we have townscaper for that

[finite hazel]

i can see you at work computer, this running on 2nd screen, and just dabbing on it when you get a few minutes

[frigid yarrow]

This is something else

[finite hazel]

nice screenshot

[mortal knot]

thanks

[frigid yarrow]

Is the demo Limited in time?

Like, not for when its gonna end, but as in the amount of time you can spend there

Last demo i ever played was the minecraft xbox 360 one which was Limited to 30 minutes lmao

[finite hazel]

i don't know sorry, i didn't play the demo, i just bought it

[frigid yarrow]

OH

[finite hazel]

6€

[frigid yarrow]

ITS ALREADY AVAILABLE TO BUY?!? (! @+€('(2()#('--&)2)@!" WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN

[finite hazel]

yeah 1.0 dropped june 21

[frigid yarrow]

good lord that's some insane news

I don't know how my choppy computer feels about that tho

This bad boy was able to run my cyberpunk base, so it should have a good time processing this little game

[finite hazel]

it seems to be pretty easy, eating like 1.5G ram, and barely using 2 cores

[mortal knot]

Draw!

[mortal knot]

how does one achieve the ability to fish like a pro

im a gunslinger and bounty hunter

[tame cairn]

do you fish at all irl?

[mortal knot]

ironic cuz im john marston

[mortal knot]

i meant in game

[mortal knot]

also very rarely cuz i dont live near water

[tame cairn]

well yeah, its pretty similar to real life tbh

ah damn

[finite hazel]

eheh

yooooo

[mortal knot]

wsp

[tame cairn]

just need the right baits/lures

and time of day usually helps, early in the day

or late at night, really just depends what fish you're going for

also while your line is in the water, flick it a bit by pressing RT quickly or moving the stick quickly

[mortal knot]

im on pc

[tame cairn]

well then move the mouse quickly

like a flick

[mortal knot]

fair

[tame cairn]

or clicking lmb

[mortal knot]

i dont fish at all in game either cuz im too busy bounty hunting

gotta get bank

[tame cairn]

yeah im honestly trying to 100% it so im taking my time

[mortal knot]

i did already

[tame cairn]

the legendary fish just fight like hell

[tame cairn]

i got close-ish but switched to ps5 so im redoing it all lol

[mortal knot]

awh dang

luck to you

[tame cairn]

im at about 150 hours rn?

[mortal knot]

[tame cairn]
