[barren sparrow]

[stuck blade]

oo

i was just playing satisfactory

[inland oasis]

im updating mine now. havent played since, well, shortly after release

[barren sparrow]

Im playing for the first time, its a fun game

I'm still figuring out how to build my production lines

[stuck blade]

mine always tend to spaghetti

i should probably make them nicer

function over form i suppose

[mental rose]

The more I see it, the more I think Satisfactory is just 3D Factorio

[tranquil glen]

Heresy

[tranquil glen]

Someone did try to actually make that once

https://youtu.be/01qux-5Qx_Y

[dry copper]

imagine if satisfactory got shut down due to trademark claims by factorio after factorio patented the idea of a game about a factory

[verbal plume]

all i've been playing now is arma reforger..

[dry copper]

Sorry to hear that

[verbal plume]

its just so fun, ive been needing an experience like this on console.

way better than any other shooter on the market imo

[dry copper]

The best part about arma is how you can free look while running at top speed

[verbal plume]

i mean thats cool yea

i just like the roleplaying aspect of it honestly

[dry copper]

The ability to shoot from any angle while on the ground laying down

If I recall, you can roll over.

Or I might be thinking Breakpoint

[verbal plume]

I don't think it's like Rainbow Six: Siege or bo6 but im pretty sure you can turn all the way around laying down

[dry copper]

I am probably thinking breakpoint.

[verbal plume]

probably

[shadow temple]

[inland oasis]

Helldivers does that. If your prone it’ll naturally adjust your position so you can aim from whatever direction almost

But, not rolling over however. That could be done in dayz too I think which is essentially a predecessor to arma reforger and the other arma’s

[mental rose]

That reminds me. Can you sideways roll while prone in HD2?

[mental rose]

If Deadpool ever gets added to Rivals, I might actually start playing it myself.
(Especially if they get Nolan North for it. 😁 )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQP-9l2b428

[shadow tartan]

You flop around on the floor after tripping over a rock

[shadow temple]

the devs said nobody is off the table

but idk how deadpool would work

[mental rose]

Well he has swords and guns, that's all I know.
Also you can make him kid-friendly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oXxYU2jMv0

[shadow temple]

he cant die

he grows back any body part he loses

[mental rose]

Wolverine can do the same, and he can get KO'd in Rivals 😄

[shadow temple]

its diffrent

wolverine can heal himself but deadpool could survive a nuke

[mental rose]

Yea... I don't think the devs are gonna use comic feats in a video game. 😄

If they did, Magneto could nuke everyone

But yea, Deadpool can survive even disintegration in the comics

[shadow temple]

his whole thing is dieing in funny ways and not caring about it. i dont think there is any way to put him in unless they made him from a universe where he cant regenerate as fast

people prob wont care since its deadpool and hes so cool

[mental rose]

Do characters have banter mid-game, or do they stay silent? I haven't played it myself.

Because part of what makes Deadpool funny in media, is that he talks. A lot

And constantly breaks the 4th wall

I wonder if the real anniversary hardware will be ready by then.... 🙃

Here's codename "one" (mainstream)

[tranquil glen]

hi

[mental rose]

Sony doing an anniversary edition of PS1?? Hot damn.

Hmm... I wonder if it's actually retro, or if those memory card slots are just decorative...

[shadow tartan]

Nah the guy that made the MiSTer

FPGA tings

[mental rose]

Oh

[inland oasis]

forward n backward, and when sitting still you roll over from back to belly. but not on command its by camera movement.
And i dont think there is any rolling at all in HD2

[shadow tartan]

There's flopping

[inland oasis]

ragdoll ftw

[shadow tartan]

Flippy floppin

[inland oasis]

jumppack be claiming ankles more than basketball players

[mental rose]

@obtuse reef Do you have any experience with this? Can you even explain this?
So I'm in a federation with one other empire. I successfully started a war with the Devouring Swarm.
My fleet got it's ass kicked, but in comes my federation buddy. (with a steel chair) Purges systems, claims planets yet ownership goes to ME for some reason.
I'm not complaining, but I'm getting a Deja Vu here.

I'm going to assume it has something to do with me sharing a border with them.

[austere lance]

Fantastic 4, let's gooooooo

[austere lance]

They're funny af, especially before the match starts and everyone is waiting in the spawn rooms 😆

[dry copper]

It would be hilarious if they had QWERTY mode for HD2

[mental rose]

Ah ok, so Deadpool would fit in like a glove. 😁

[austere lance]

Very much so, lol

[shadow tartan]

What's that

[austere lance]

Also the voice acting cast for the game is fuckin stacked, it's crazy. Including Nolan North voicing Rocket Raccoon, which he's done in a few games

[dry copper]

qwerty is a game where you have to control every limb individually

In qwerty your only objective is to get across a race track running

HD2 likes fucking with people. QWERTY controls out of the blue would be perfect for fucking with people.

Maybe make it a taser

[dry copper]

Only voice I wanna hear is

https://tenor.com/view/jeff-the-landshark-marvel-rivals-my-name-is-jeff-gif-2417960390486007207

[austere lance]

His voice is adorable, lol

He sounds like a little gremlin when he goes "YUMMY YUMMY" and eats your whole fuckin team 🤣

[dry copper]

It would be amusing if they had built in voice changers for each character, so if you chose one with a higher pitched voice it would modulate your voice to try and mirror the character

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMrJBmWK0IM

[austere lance]

I don't think there's a voice changer on the planet that's gonna make me sound like Steve Blum's Wolverine, lol

[dry copper]

That's what makes it funny

[mental rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kErlf6n3q-s

[dry copper]

There will be people who take it seriously and completely fail

[austere lance]

Jeff growls at Hawkeye, idk why he's so mad at him 😆

[dry copper]

Does hawkeye have a dodge?

[mental rose]

Jeff x Star Lord is the funniest one for me.

[inland oasis]

this song lives rent free in my head. takes up my whole one brain cell

[dry copper]

Dodge moves are the only way to get out of Jeff's killer move

[inland oasis]

the best counter to a jeff is another jeff

[shadow temple]

i saw leaked skills of human touch and he looks like a pain to deal with

[dry copper]

Jeffception?

[inland oasis]

its true

he cancels out the ult

[austere lance]

The best counter to Jeff is Peni's landmine web egg thing, lol

[inland oasis]

but has the worst fucking ult by worst i mean its that good

[mental rose]

Also Jeff apparently hums Jaws theme sometimes

[austere lance]

Yep 😆

[inland oasis]

thats adorable

[austere lance]

When he dives underground with only his fin poking out he does it, lol

[inland oasis]

chuck norris and jeff, the only two to swim thru land

[austere lance]

There's a Splatoon mode in the game rn that's just Jeffs vs Jeffs trying to paint more of the map than the other team with his water gun, lol

God I already have 73 hours in the game 💀

[dry copper]

This was a brilliant idea

[austere lance]

He'll have low health and die quickly to Hawkeye or Hela

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRjjoLUA0eY

Dude played interference while his team took the backline

[austere lance]

Strange portals have crazy potential

[shadow temple]

hes human tourch so he will be able to fly

[inland oasis]

jeff would extinguish his ass in a heartbeat. on god no cap frfr

[dry copper]

It would've backfired if the other team hadn't stuck to him and instead took advantage of his portal to get behind his team

[austere lance]

I had a Strange on my team open a portal high above the objective so our Punisher could set up his turret and blast everyone 😆

[inland oasis]

ive seen strange counter jeffs spit move too xD

went to spit em off map and ended up spittin em into a portal instead saving them

[austere lance]

Also, Scarlet Witch's ult and those damn portals is a lethal combo. You're basically delivering her as a living nuke

[dry copper]

Yeah all strange has to do is cast it over land and spin the portal up after being spit out

I imagine half the people swallowed by Jeff don't want to live anymore after being spit out, anyway

[shadow tartan]

They'll have the mind control dudes hopefully, that might be similar, like the first one

[inland oasis]

make one that makes friendlies look like illuminate xD

[shadow tartan]

They already do

[inland oasis]

Cyberpunk so purtyyyy :3

kind of a bummer, had to uninstall the enhanced edition of metro exodus. gave me a warning my minimum specs werent enough, which thats fine, i get that. but still had a "play anyway" option. so i figured i could mess with graphical settings to get something playable.

No....it just CTD's. everytime. so now installing the unenhanced edition xD

[obtuse reef]

or illuminate that look like friendlies

[inland oasis]

lmao seeing a horde of divers, trying to figure out which is the real friend xD

thats way worse actually

[obtuse reef]

or wondering why your buddy immediately began shooting you in the back

while he's in front of you

[inland oasis]

there were like 50x of you man!

trust me

[obtuse reef]

at that point just call in a 380 on the crowd and what ever happens happens

[inland oasis]

democratical officers paperwork nightmare

[shadow tartan]

Nah there's just a stamp for it

[obtuse reef]

it just says "can't be fucked to file properly"

[shadow tartan]

Democratic

STAMP STAMP STAMP

[obtuse reef]

It would be really funny if the bots also began trying their hand at mind-fuckery

they'd probably be really really bad at it

[inland oasis]

were the ones screwing with there minds

[obtuse reef]

Super Earth is probably horrifying to fight

[inland oasis]

we broke the morale of a moralless species XD

[obtuse reef]

your backlines would be shredded by fanatical and damn near suicidal shock troopers backed up by interstellar ships designed to turn planets into glass, while your frontlines would be locked up by soldiers that are even more fanatical, to the point of killing heavy armor with their grandfather's double barrel

[inland oasis]

diving into bugholes with a nade for democracy type feels

[obtuse reef]

I mean, just when the bugs thought they had secured a super colony, we turned it into a fucking black hole

I'd argue that Super Earth is more fanatical than the Imperium of Man

[austere lance]

I did not read that as bugholes 🤣

I was like "God damn, that's some dedication!"

[inland oasis]

the real reason they scream "FOR SUPER EARTH"

[obtuse reef]

On a semi-related note, while you can beat chargers to death with a stun baton, hulks do not tolerate that bullshit

I have been backhanded by a hulk when attempting to get close to it

[inland oasis]

can u stun automatons?

literally still never play em

[obtuse reef]

yes, they're actually more susceptible to it than the illuminate

[inland oasis]

fryin circuits xD

[obtuse reef]

the stun baton is a great way to turn the tables on berserkers

dual chainsaws do not beat electrified stick being wielded by a suicidal maniac on every type of hard drug imaginable

[inland oasis]

i wish the ballistic shield was better. id run around with that n the pokey stick

only time id run heavy armor too

[obtuse reef]

I almost always run heavy armor

I spent 400 SC on the heavy armor with extra padding

[inland oasis]

bombsuit lookin one?

250+ i think

[obtuse reef]

Yeah

[inland oasis]

yeaa

[obtuse reef]

It gives 200 armor rating, which is the highest in the game

They are up against a wall, and I am the fucking wall

[inland oasis]

the perk tho. i doubt true but i heard somewhere that numerical value was basically another +50 armor

[obtuse reef]

yeah

the stock armor also has it, so it's functionally heavy armor but you can move as fast as medium armor

[inland oasis]

ahh gotcha

[obtuse reef]

These are the stats for the heavy armor

[inland oasis]

just realizing the other heavies are 150 not 200

[obtuse reef]

yes

stats for the B01 tactical

[inland oasis]

so that 50 is already calculated into it lmao

hense why i said 250+ lol

[obtuse reef]

yes, but for some reason when comparing it still considers the armor to have the same rating as the rest of the armor of that type

[inland oasis]

ill show u one that confuses me xD

if im in 100, how is 70.

70 > 100
Makes no sense

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that's what I was saying

when using the actual compare tool, it will show correctly

[inland oasis]

so the actual higher armor is still better. ignoring green number good xD

[obtuse reef]

yes

[inland oasis]

that always messes with me. in any type of game

[obtuse reef]

that's using the actual compare function

[inland oasis]

i just rock the killzone armor still anyways xD

[obtuse reef]

Extra padding is a really funny buff because it straight up just tacks on an extra 50 armor rating with zero downsides

It'd be really funny if this description was actually true

[inland oasis]

wonder how armor dmg and hp all interact at the core level. like. does X amount of armor = HP
Or does the armor value actually add a % of mitigation instead? or... etc

[obtuse reef]

I think the armor functionally adds extra HP by mitigating all damage taken (except for fire)

so your HP never actually changes

[inland oasis]

i always assumed its just 3 HP tiers. yea

and the amount of dmg u take maybe decreases with more

[obtuse reef]

that's why fire always does the same damage unless you have the passive that mitigates it

fire, poison gas, and I believe electricity all deal the same amounts of damage unless you have a passive that reduces it

[inland oasis]

when i first played i wished the gear was more randomized with stats, like each set being different and such, rather than tiers. but seeing how the perks do actually help alot more than smiliarly like a tiny "attribute skill" in a big rpg type game

i overlooked how useful some of the resistance is

[obtuse reef]

Fire resist is my go to whenever I use my fire loadout

[inland oasis]

i see nothing more useful than this perk

except maybe the + armor

[kind wolf]

I bet next super order is gonna be a fleet coming out of meridia 🗣️

[inland oasis]

straight up buff stats

granted if you purely pickj one element u get way more resist

thats balanced

[obtuse reef]

This passive is really good because it means you can use a machine gun like an AR

and as a shock baton enthusiast, the extra melee damage is nice

[inland oasis]

woah i dont have that one

[obtuse reef]

it's from Viper Commandos

[inland oasis]

ew

thats why

to me, that warbonds such a damn waste of SC

nothing in it i want

[obtuse reef]

I like the bushwhacker from that warbond

it's the triple barrel shotgun secondary

[inland oasis]

i like it, but never would wanna use it compared to what i do use

[obtuse reef]

that's fair

[inland oasis]

is my thought process lmao

[obtuse reef]

I don't find myself taking environmental damage enough to use the Killzone armor

when I do take environmental damage, it's because of either my or my teammates' dumbassery

you'd be surprised how many people don't realize that calling a napalm strike 20m from extract is a really bad idea

[inland oasis]

pretty sure its a 55m range minimum

xD

the orbital i mean

[obtuse reef]

yeah, so many people don't realize how massive that radius is

[inland oasis]

yea youll clear a extraction zone with ease

[obtuse reef]

you'll render it uninhabitable for the next minute or two, which is really not ideal when the super destroyer has left orbit and the pelican is leaving in 10 seconds

you'd also be surprised how many people intentionally shoot allied tesla towers because they're too stupid to realize that big lightning stick should be avoided

[inland oasis]

theyre not worse than the people who throw teslas in the bughives, or on extraction, or on objectives.

There is a specific way to place teslas, and depending on the obj ONTOP OF IT aint it... xD

[obtuse reef]

"Free of Thought" isn't just a title, it's a lifestyle for some of my teammates

[inland oasis]

read my mind almost tho

im tryna get in, pop the bughole n get out. not measure my distance each throw trying to avoid lightnin stick

[obtuse reef]

I throw my teslas ontop of bug breaches and on choke points, and if my teammates don't make the connection that when it starts sparking that it's about to annihilate them, that's on them

[inland oasis]

yes breaches ty xD

[stuck blade]

i pretty much exclusively play with friends

much nicer with communications available

[obtuse reef]

indeed

[stuck blade]

don't think i ever actually used the tesla tower

[inland oasis]

i would say my skill is adaptability. i always play either alone or complete rando's. i make due with whatever is there and overcome that xD

[obtuse reef]

It's good on defense missions because enemies think "oh hey, a sentry" and go to attack it without realizing that proximity to the tesla tower kills them

[stuck blade]

yeah, i see that being useful

[inland oasis]

i still need to get that +1 arc chain thing too from the ship

[stuck blade]

i just generally prefer the concept of a sentry or mines

[inland oasis]

sentries mentioned ^_^

❤️

[obtuse reef]

Tesla towers are dangerous though because they have a nasty tendency to one shot players

which annoys many people to no end for various reasons

[inland oasis]

gatling, machine gun, flame, (anything) my 99% of the time loadout

usually statuic mortar

[obtuse reef]

Gatling is nice, but I love how spammable the machine gun sentry is

[stuck blade]

i nearly always have at least one sentry or minefield

[inland oasis]

id argue machineguns better. gatling CLEARS dont get me wrong. but machinegun is just effecient

[obtuse reef]

I've been messing with the orbital gatling barrage, and uh, it works

[stuck blade]

same, can just put one on almost every location you stop at

[obtuse reef]

I can call one down every 50 seconds or so and annihilate entire hordes of Voteless and their overseers

gatling barrage, that is

[inland oasis]

OH BTW aeron when we had the convo about the AT cannon thing. idk why i went into it thinking that had only one shot...

the amount of damage you can put out is insane

[obtuse reef]

the AT emplacement?

[inland oasis]

its just slow

the big seated cannon

yea

i swear i thought it had like 1-3 shots.

[obtuse reef]

I know it's absurd for dealing with just about anything, but I always use a quasar cannon to fulfill the role of anti-tank

[stuck blade]

personal favourite use of AT emplacement is shooting down an enemy camp without ever entering it

[inland oasis]

boy was i wrong

i love when that one hunter gets to close and you just get to fucking ATOMIZE it

Jokes on you this time hunter

ive hurt myself being so dogmatic against them

[stuck blade]

couple times we've run everyone with SMGs, ballistic shield backpacks and quasar cannons

on automaton missions

[obtuse reef]

I figured out how to rocket jump with the explosive crossbow purely because I have such a bad habit of point-blanking with it

if you fire the crossbow behind you about half a second after diving, it launches you while dealing minimal damage

[inland oasis]

i wish the game had some crazy custom gamemode, NO exp. but you could do whatever. modifiers, faction on whatever planet. and let us pick the stratagem limit lol. lemme bring 10 strats xD

like just custom dives

[stuck blade]

all barrages

it's the only way to be sure

[inland oasis]

XD

[stuck blade]

super helldive terminid extraction is a fun time

especially with destroyers already having left orbit

[inland oasis]

it would break the games difficulty, but at the same time your just as suseptible to die as the game naturally is

[obtuse reef]

I'm boutta make the Fall of Reach look like a minor skirmish

Glassing? More like vaporizing

[inland oasis]

then you got ur super mobile class, jetpack, both exos, the frv, etc xD

[stuck blade]

heh

[obtuse reef]

https://tenor.com/view/team-fortress2-scout-gif-23871378

[inland oasis]

the explosives expert

[obtuse reef]

https://tenor.com/view/demoman-tf2-demoman-tf2-explosion-boom-gif-24508153

[inland oasis]

mortar sentry, rocket sentry, quasar, spear, etc.

genuinely think the game could function if not be even more fun, if they increased the limit to say, 5-6?

[obtuse reef]

I want an extra slot so I can bring the FRV without sacrificing a sentry or equipment stratagem

[inland oasis]

hard to value how much a stratagem adds to difficulty cuz its so random

thats how i used to feel when i used the exos

[obtuse reef]

this is going to be fucking awful

[inland oasis]

that one tesla is so outta place xD

[stuck blade]

i haven't used the exosuits much since unlocking them, just don't really enjoy the playstyle

[inland oasis]

theyre so slow. i only ever used the dual cannon one. itll shred, and makes bugholes a cakewalk

[stuck blade]

yeah, emancipator. i just find it a lot more enjoyable to run around and use stratagems than to go at walking pace and shoot the same weapon constantly

[obtuse reef]

I like it because haha minigun go brrrrrrrrrt

[inland oasis]

i am in love with the damn sickle. i just wish i could do the RPM change like LMG's can xD

[obtuse reef]

I love the Liberator

for a starting weapon it fucking shreds on higher difficulties

[stuck blade]

liberator penetrator is my go to

especially with terminids

[obtuse reef]

I use the Adjudicator if I need to penetrate armor

[stuck blade]

yeah, that's a good one too

[inland oasis]

ar61 tenderizer

[obtuse reef]

the only AR I dislike is the Liberator Carbine

it just fires faster than the regular liberator, no other differences

[winter yew]

I’m downloading space marine 2 rn. Can’t wait to play it a bit tonight!

[inland oasis]

For the emperor!

what a lvl up xD

[tough kindle]

SM2 sucks bad

[shadow tartan]

This pleases the Emperor

[shadow tartan]

Clearly you have not pleased the Emperor

[inland oasis]

Tf no audio

[shadow tartan]

Yeah there is

[inland oasis]

Oh my phone ain’t playin it

I was somehow connected to my headphones

[dry copper]

For anyone that thinks they aren't good enough. This is the face of a man that believes he is more than good enough. That's his face. Look at it. Now look away. Now look at it again. Now look away. Now back to him. Sadly, he's still there...creepin you out. He smells you.

On purpose.

[shadow tartan]

You put him there

To smell everyone

Now he has our scent

He'll sell us neuralink

[dry copper]

He wants to sniff your musk

[shadow tartan]

I smell of dogs now

[dry copper]

He's the kind of man that would sniff your dogs, too.

[inland oasis]

probably moans when he wipes his ass

[dry copper]

...subtle

I'm going for creepy and you're just like....LOOK MAH NO HANDS!, right off a cliff

[dry copper]

ugh...godrays to hell

I'm guessing. Horizon Zero Dawn

[austere frost]

Nope

[dry copper]

Valheim?

[inland oasis]

no

that deff aint valheim

[dry copper]

The giant tree looks distinct

God of war?

[austere frost]

Nope....last guess 😆

[inland oasis]

elden ring

[dry copper]

That sounds right

[austere frost]

Nope again I'm afraid

[dry copper]

Why are you afraid?

The way the godrays disgust me reminds me of FO76

[austere frost]

I think i just followed through after passing wind

[dry copper]

Definitely a reason to smell fear

[austere frost]

I hope it's just Fear, and not what it could be

[dry copper]

Everything else in pandora's box

[austere frost]

It's from Assassins Creed Valhalla

For anyone who remembers the TV show "Wycliffe"

[dry copper]

Now I understand your fear.

I couldn't play AC Valhalla for any length of time. I found it boring...An action packed walking simulator inside of a windows desktop screen

Very pretty in places, but the story was not compelling

[austere frost]

I wouldn't say it's "bad", but it's definitely not one of the better AC games...too much just feels out of place in it.

[dry copper]

It's not a horrible game, but it has so much traveling where you're not fighting, or where the fighting is just boring rinse and repeat mechanics.

[tranquil glen]

I feel that odyessy, origins and valhalla were way too close together in publish to get 3 good polished games yo

[dry copper]

I liked Odyssey.

Most than origins infact

[inland oasis]

odyssey was bayek right

?

[dry copper]

Origins is Bayek

[tranquil glen]

Origins^

[austere frost]

Yeah, my favourite was Origins

[inland oasis]

ohh then i liked origins

[tranquil glen]

The greek one was odyessy

[dry copper]

Odyssey is the lady Bayek meets at the end of Origins 😛

[tranquil glen]

He goes along on her ship

[tranquil glen]

Ive also not played any acreed made after ac syndicate

[dry copper]

Syndicate wasn't bad.

[inland oasis]

black flag stole my heart

[dry copper]

I didn't like how smushed syndicate got toward the end of the story

[tranquil glen]

Imo black flag can go die in the ocean for purely its popularity

[dry copper]

It was like they were unable to write a good ending so they just mushed every plot together and said make this make sense

[tranquil glen]

Kinda agreed since frank wasnt really present bc he made such reference during the finale

“Thanks for sorting the boroughs”

Or something like it

To evie

[austere frost]

It's dated now but I really liked the original Assassins Creed with Altair

[inland oasis]

cant hate the OG's

altair and ezio

[tranquil glen]

Can have will, good story but FUCK YOUR BUGS EZIO

And atleast at ac3 it was better parkour and climbing, but the last four oof nah so many gameplay bugs with combat and traversal

Nto saying story waa bad it was great loved it but dam fuck those traversal bugs ( and Ubisoft deleting my near 100% brotherhood save in progress)

Dinner time cya

[verbal plume]

ac3 my fav

the best one

[dry copper]

What I liked about the original AC was the story. I thought we'd go from that to a more involved and indepth story. Instead of getting cooler and more involved, it went crazy with conspiracy theory bullshit level narratives. I like mysticism...but the whole gods among us undertones just smelled like a rank fart in a glass elevator.

Then they started going back in time with the machine further and further while going forward in time with the present day narrative...It was like some drunk with a blank check was given the reigns to the game

They'll eventually focus on a single solitary individual who was probably born before the dawn of civilization in some mudhut full of cave men who will be named Prome or some shit, an ode to Promethius, who will defy the gods to give technology to the people, but the dude who discovers him will be in a machine set in a cyberpunk universe capable of spreading that knowledge to the entire technological world.

Then you find out Prome is still alive in the modern era because fucker is immortal and has been tortured for the entirety of mankind's existence for betraying the gods

and you have to kill the immortal man because torture has driven him insane

[tranquil glen]

Agreed, i also like the fact that (from what i know) ac3-4 (idk what games 5+ are named) didnt have references to anything above the assassins or templars

Like the “digital” i guess god person who breaks all the walls in ezio1

[verbal plume]

true

AC Unity is underrated

just a straight assassin story

[verbal plume]

they do

3 is about the end of the world or something

and it resets

idk exactly

I knew this was gunna happen. Literally 1 day after the big crown discount, Zenimax decides to drop a big update on some choice expensive items in the store

I'm glad I didn't buy the big discount.

and 4 is about the sage

[dry copper]

Old school little nicky

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

[verbal plume]

which is the guy that always gets reincarnated

[tranquil glen]

4 is overrated akin to jacob Frye’s side in syndicate from what ive seen

[verbal plume]

like jacobs side alone is better?

if so, i agree

black flag had too much sailing imo.

it was cool i just got bored

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ai5NWd8nuo

[tranquil glen]

no jacobs side sucks balls not focused on assassin shit just growing a gang

[verbal plume]

true but i liked playing as jacob more, even if i didnt like syndicate much

it was cool tho

nice cuty

just uhh

too wide

[dry copper]

too many vehicles on the streets

[tranquil glen]

Too little or too many at times its better than gtav campaign LOL

[verbal plume]

its just...they made u basically rely on the grappling hook which i didnt like

like imagine ac unity city with it

i feel like that wouldve been nice

a condensed city like that

[tranquil glen]

I actually barely use grapple

[verbal plume]

i try not to as much as possible, but its annoying going up and down those gigantic buildings.

across a wide ass street, to then climb another 50 feet up

[tranquil glen]

I dont use it for up i use it for street crossinf

Like when on a rooftop and that’s it

Which aint much since modt objectives are so fucking far

[verbal plume]

its just like, thats the only way to go from rooftop to rrooftop

thats the problem

uf there was a choice

itd be bettet

like ac revelations' blade

[tranquil glen]

Well yea its like 70 years post unity

No almost 90 years

What was revelations blade bc im still runnin ac2.99

[verbal plume]

hookblade

[tranquil glen]

Ahh

[verbal plume]

its neat

i really liked it

[tranquil glen]

hookblade how th fk does that work

Sounds like some warframe hook and blade

not whip and blade LOL

[verbal plume]

basically, it goes into the slot of a hidden blade and has a hook

gives more reach

for jumps

up and across

[tranquil glen]

Ohhh

[verbal plume]

i think its nice

can jump larger gaps

[tranquil glen]

Does any other game have phantom like blades

Like those crossbow ac unity ones

[verbal plume]

i dont think so honestly

ac2 has crossbows iirc lol

[tranquil glen]

So like no micro throwable blades that arent throwing knives

Sad

[dry copper]

Going into the past

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzyz2TgGls

https://youtu.be/zUSwWcQByW0?si=BwMcer8wUUbEzCa_

[winter yew]

I’m playin 40k SM2 rn

Tank head looks dope tho

Never heard of that one

[austere lance]

SM2 slaps

[winter yew]

This is my first time playing it. I got kinda toasted and then played it with headphones on.

[inland oasis]

i saw tankhead and thought they meant the bulwarks helmet xD

[winter yew]

Absolutely amazing

You know it’s a 40k game when half the screen is the space marine zone

[austere lance]

The wide bois need room to purge xenos and heretics, lol

[viral dagger]

Hoooaaaa

[agile socket]

which city building game is that? looks familier

[viral dagger]

Tropico 6

[agile socket]

I only have Tropico 5 on epic, from when they gave it free for a week

[viral dagger]

I used to have a disc for Tropico 5 like 8 years back or so, not sure what happened to it

then recently I bought Tropico 6 on Steam while it was on sale lol

[agile socket]

last game I remember installing from Disk, was Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, ended up converting my cd key to a license on battle.net so I could play it again recently

[viral dagger]

Most games I have on PC now are from Steam. But anyways, Tropico 6 has been quite a blast but it can be a bit stressful at times when you start to see your economy deplete by like $1,000 - $5,000 per minute lol

[agile socket]

like the current economy?

a lot of the games I have are from Humble Bundle or Fanatical bundles

[viral dagger]

ye, and plus you also have to watch just how much are all the cargos that are shipped to the dock are worth, cuz if it ain't reaching as high as $10,000, you better start acting quick before your country quickly goes into debt lmao

My current save was able to last for 100 years, things were smooth, typical rebel attacks but then they get struck by my airforce and tanks, USA tried invading once, and I'm making the big bucks and the entire country loves me. lmao

That is until I realize the point of Trade imports when one of my long-lasting gold mine had all of its resources completely drained, then I started to panic kek

[agile socket]

non-replenishable resources are annoying

[viral dagger]

yeah and it's only made worse was when after I decided to check through the overlay of the resources in the island, it turns out EVERY other mining sites are about to have their own funerals too lol

[agile socket]

welp, time to invade other counties to steal their resources then

[viral dagger]

Considering that USA is the only Superpower that I seem to have a bad touch with in this file, I don't think there should be too much problem with worrying with the others lol

Funny thing is, we were best buddies during the Cold War, but then I decided I want to make deals with Royalties after I reached the Modern Times lol

[agile socket]

US does not like to renegotiate contracts

[viral dagger]

No kidding, and when they're pissed, they are super pissed. Their soldiers are tough as bricks, it took them 2 airstrikes and 2 tanks to take out. These are foot soldiers, they shouldn't have been this strong lmao

[agile socket]

probably cheated with performance enhancers >.> im gonna shut up now

[viral dagger]

good ol Super Soldier serum, it's why Captain America is one fearsome Superhero

[agile socket]

or Bane shared his Venom formula

[viral dagger]

Bruh, if they were like Bane, I don't think those tanks would've even last a second before they get tossed to the other side of the country 💀

[agile socket]

they probably had gear made by Tony Stark

[viral dagger]

true true

Those US Soldiers really caught me by surprise though, everything was normal then all of a sudden the bgm went from Caribbean party to sudden intense instrumentals. There were no announcement whatsoever from Penultimo, just a red notification on the left of the screen that the USA is invading my country lol

Every military bases are targeted, I tried launching my nuke, but apparently that didn't scare em off as I thought it would have lol

[agile socket]

yea, not even a nuke would scare off Tony Stark

[mental rose]

Nuclear deterrence didn't work??
That's surprising.

[dry copper]

The moment nukes are launched the US would respond in full force to neutralize any future threat (forever)

I'll have it in a day or two.

I've already got everything but one key

[tranquil glen]

i thkn my issue with MMOs is i dont take the time to casually level up and play and use guides n such to get "good builds"

[dry copper]

I currently have a build on my arcanist that took forever to get the parts for and is OP af

I've solo'd every single world boss I've fought since I started on it...and it's not finished yet

It can still get much stronger

[charred badge]

My problem is that I can't be present for most of it, due to life.
Feels awkward playing a game meant for cooperation when I can't be around to contribute

[tranquil glen]

fair i used to play eso mostly solo so i getcha

[dry copper]

I don't like to play it with people racing through shit

I joined a guild that's all about slow-walking the group content so everyone can experience it for the first time.

[charred badge]

It's just dull due to group play compromises, so playing solo just results in an extremely bland game

I made the mistake of getting invested in quests being like the single player games

[dry copper]

rn I just wander around reading and listening to quest details I never did before

[charred badge]

It almost suffers from the theming, in that respect

[dry copper]

Do the quests learn about the craziness

The story made some fucked up mistakes tho

Like at one point, I helped Valenwood (the spiritual home of the wood elves) and the spirit of the land with the help of the wood elves...Great. Then a few missions later there are wood elves trying to set up shop on sacred land the spirit is like gtfo...

So I'm given the option of siding the the valenwood spirit again and helping the wood elves that hold it close, or siding with the wood elves that want to move into the area

[tranquil glen]

ngl whenever im on i just scan shit on an island to level my scanning to eventually go get the dwarven wolf mount

now i need a update thats 70gig

[dry copper]

Come to find out the fuckers defending the area were created as duplicates of someone the spirit killed when it was still human, that it didn't remember anymore...They aren't even supposed to exist.

The spirit killed one of its friends and brought him back to life in the form of this empty husk that had free will, but then it kept trying - like it forgot or didn't accept it...so the future husks were all brainless

[tranquil glen]

ngl i did a quest that gave me the ability to become skeelton but weakens me and strips my armor lol

[dry copper]

Turns out the spirit of the forest is a symbiot that destroys the memories of the being it possesses to do what it can do.

im thinking its greymoor bc that dlc unlocks solitud

[dry copper]

You don't know where the region of skyrim is?

Well, the game is set in a few regions

[tranquil glen]

only game ive played of ES is skyrim and ESO..

[charred badge]

There's a bunch of boats and stuff, then once you do some circuits around you can map travel

[tranquil glen]

i just want the skyrim main menu music yk

actually hmm it may just take a second..

[tranquil glen]

eso doesnt have much of skyrim

[tranquil glen]

only like riften and solitude areas

no central

[dry copper]

Central?

[tranquil glen]

like whiterun

no whiterun

theres not even a mod i can see that replaces Greymoor with Dragonborn Comes

ok so default has it, wtf

all i got for housing is the ebony flask inn room

[sacred sluice]

U have access to dlc?

[tranquil glen]

not much no

[prime pivot]

How much is it?

[tranquil glen]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sacred sluice]

Dang, if u knew this while the free plus trial was on could probably have gotten the leads then. How often does eso do plus trials? U know?

[tranquil glen]

nope, im also not on enough to make much use of said trial

the alik'r desert, bangkorai, eastmarch, more alik'r, stros mkai, the rift, craglorn, more alik'r, deshaan, bankorai again, western skyrim (which alone is about $30), storm haven, cold harbour, deshaan, craglon twice

[sacred sluice]

Yea.. But the free try for plus.. Could have gotten those leads without paying is what I'm saying. Ahha

Yea

[tranquil glen]

they arent leads though

thats why im kinda mad

they are dungeon drops..

oh wait nvm they are smh

[sacred sluice]

Ohhh... Wait.. Waa.. Hmmm... Maybe I'm mixing this up with another lead antiquity can scry for.. Wolf mount

Ahha yea yea

Leads drop from there u mean

[tranquil glen]

they are antiquities but dont follow the normal antiquity scrying

[sacred sluice]

Ok

[tranquil glen]

wait nvm idfk

[sacred sluice]

Ahhahaha

😅

Nw

[tranquil glen]

its a lot of leads tho thats not even all of em

[sacred sluice]

Yea

[tranquil glen]

theres still another rare, and 3 more legends

[sacred sluice]

I have some. Need lots more. Haven't been focused on that one.

[mental rose]

That's a LOT of grinding for a pet...

[sacred sluice]

Really? Wolf mounts?

Ahahhaha

[tranquil glen]

im just running around arteum for the leveling of scrying

[sacred sluice]

U can lvl it pretty fast

[tranquil glen]

its a dwarven robotic mount in wolf

[sacred sluice]

I think i maxed scry skill line in few days.. Taking my time

[tranquil glen]

i have the husky as actual pet

[mental rose]

Oh it's a mount

[sacred sluice]

Nice

Yea

[mental rose]

Well anyway, don't really care...

I tried ESO back during the beta. Haven't touched it since

[tranquil glen]

thats why im not listening to you warfighter

[mental rose]

Felt like an insult compared to Skyrim

[tranquil glen]

me when beta isnt the very polished game it becomes 🕺

[mental rose]

Just stating my own opinion. I don't like MMOs in general, no matter what skin they wear

[tranquil glen]

me when you play warframe lols

and fair point ESO is like one of two mmos i have liked

i cant do wowshit for obivious hate the pov reasons

and eve imo just sucks since u arent a single char in space

[mental rose]

Only MMO I sunk 7 years of my life to was EVE Online.
I'm not touching that genre ever again

It's not healthy for me

[tranquil glen]

hardly call that mmo near the sameas single character ones

[tranquil glen]

cant even buy the pet smh

[sacred sluice]

This specific one u mean? Or any pet... Cause can always buy crowns 😉

[tranquil glen]

that specific one

[sacred sluice]

Yup, and nope. Ahha but there some nice ones in crownstore sometimes. Let me see when next free trial is... Hmmm.....

[tranquil glen]

Ngl i think atm i shiuld just work on getting max scru, then work on leveling and getting good dungeon gear

Or are leads purchasable

[mental rose]

Are you saying Warframe is MMO?

[tranquil glen]

Uh no its not but its very close to such

[mental rose]

Good... thought you were insinuating something

[tranquil glen]

Wow craft, eso (&76), Aeternum, albion

[mental rose]

I have no idea what those last two you listed are. 😄

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdd0avB3t-g\

[sacred sluice]

@tranquil glen says plus free trial is three times a year, i dont see dates for them though for 2025 and one just finished. But... I just check something... And we'll the leads u need are in western skyrim and base game right? And western skyrim dlc u can also buy in crown store for crowns.. It called Greymoor. So u could buy crowns to get it using game money as well. 😉 Just another option. 🙃

Then u always have access and get urs leads 😅😁

[dry copper]

The exchange rate of crowns per gold is insane

11-15k per crown

[sacred sluice]

No way

Lol

I not sure going rate rn, but I'd say it's more around the 3000 per crown

[dry copper]

Oh you're right

[sacred sluice]

Or maybe that depend on server idk, i play on EU PC

[dry copper]

1100-1500 per crown

[sacred sluice]

That too cheap

LOL

[dry copper]

I wonder if hinterland ever finished that game they were working on for ten years.

[prime pivot]

Let's hope they have a hit

[dry copper]

Apparently they still haven't finished it....BUT, they did find the time to announce the sequel to it!

I wonder if they'll finish the sequel first.

[prime pivot]

Let's hope they do one after the other otherwise it will be weird

[dry copper]

weirder than releasing a 5 part DLC story on top of the game before the game is even finished?

[prime pivot]

That's just normal now

[tranquil glen]

What about before GTA6?

🤣

[prime pivot]

That's a meme at this point

[tranquil glen]

bezos MMO, and albion online

[tranquil glen]

Thats the point

[prime pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[tranquil glen]

Base game also has access to craglorn i think so theres a few leads there but idk if the wiki page is where the part is or where the lead is or both?

[sacred sluice]

There is a leads add on I use. /displayleads will show u locations for all the ones u don't have. It's been pretty accurate for me so far.

[tranquil glen]

I was also suggested 2 playermarket add ons and few for fishing awhile ago, but idk how to install em

[sacred sluice]

Minions makes it easy

There a YT video.. Let me see if i can find it. That's what I use.

https://youtu.be/BREKrs3HFWo?si=HivV_5wTCF5FydFs

Couple steps to setting it up, but once u have it setup it makes installing and updating add-ons a lot easier. I haven't had any issues with it, other than a couple of times windows updates. Once had to uninstall and reinstall. But that's it. 🙂

[verbal plume]

Craglorn
Deshaan
Eastmarch
Stormhaven
Stros M'Kai
The Rift
... DLC I need is yk the one with the antiquities.. Western Skyrim.. lol

[dry copper]

Gold road Delux was a very good deal last week

$35

Now it's $106

[devout seal]

Star Citizen. Pyro system.

[tranquil glen]

i feel like all the packs that also contain crowns dont contain enough to like (buy something dlc else)

[dry copper]

The gold road deluxe collection has all DLC, minus the extra chapters between seasons sold separately in the crown store and all the collectors upgrades from every expansion

It's not worth $106, but it was def worth $35

[tranquil glen]

can you equip companions with your owned mounts that u dont use?

[dry copper]

yes

[tranquil glen]

ahh

[dry copper]

You can also make your companion ride shotgun on your multi-player mount

I have a 2 person mount and my companion rides behind me in the backseat

He's always so excited

"HOW DO YOU DRIVE THIS THING!?"

[tranquil glen]

iirc was told that the riding lesson books for mounts also crosses all mounts? (sped stamina etc)

bc its on my char or account or something so itll use whatever pet and just buff it

[dry copper]

Riding lessons are character bound

That is, once used it only improves speed of one character

but yes

It applies to your character not the mount itself

When you're working on researching crafting make sure you research your top three crafting traits first

Do not research willy nilly

Researching traits after you research a few, takes weeks to finish

[tranquil glen]

how do i know what the top three crafting traits are, or is just those listed at the top..

[dry copper]

Depends on what your build is going to be, but generally....Most sought after are

Divines, Training, Penetration

I think penetation is called precise or something like that

[dry copper]

Keep in mind if you nerf your skills by distributing pts too thin, your dmg output will be cut

Many skills dps is based on your highest stat

Spread too thin, the highest stat is lowered unnecessarily and it hurts your output

You basically have to pick between Magicka or Stamina

If you don't, and its fine if you don't want to - Getting around that limitation will be a trade off between stat recovery and damage output

[tranquil glen]

yea i have nodea how to built my char atm im just running around artaeum when am on doing the scrying to level

to level scrying so i cna scry more rare shit when i can get those leads from dungeons ns tuf

[inland oasis]

Am I crazy for being mad at bughole hitboxes when this is the shit I deal with?

Yes ik there’s a corpse in the way but goddamn… still

[kind wolf]

Hate clearing those out

I throw something to deal with it and a bug crawls out and tanks it

[inland oasis]

That or even perfect shots with the grenade pistol just idk don’t do it. The grenade explodes to early or something before going deep enough into the hole. I have so many issues with bug holes only.

Finally decided to do my Jedi Survivor NG+ playthrough, it's fun running through everything with the .50 Cal Kestis stance

Starting to feel like Synthetic Ascension was the worst idea...
This is just flavor text, but man does it hit me in the feels. People understandably don't like the idea of being turned into androids.

[winter yew]

What stance is that?

I liked the blaster and the crossguard the best

[tranquil glen]

[tranquil glen]

Ngl due to a new tenno coming to lotus, from D2, i kinda wanna play it bc their gameplay LOL

[mental rose]

@obtuse reef Any idea why I didn't get the event to become a galactic empire? I removed the term limit of my custodianship.
I can only guess it's because there's a vote to change council size in the queue waiting.

[obtuse reef]

I actually usually don’t get that far, and isn’t the galactic imperium a DLC thing

[mental rose]

ik, I've been there once in a different playthrough.
Just wondering why it didn't trigger this time.

Maybe a bug, who knows

[serene copper]

Hey I was wondering since I like NMS would I like star citizen? I like the whole building aspect, survival and quests showing up randomly n what not aswell as the space flying so is start citizen similar?

Like what r the pros n cons of both? Cuz I'd rather not spend 40$ on a game that's an exact copy or worse ig lol

[prime pivot]

You say that, then your boss asks when you will be at work lol

[quartz ferry]

They aren't even close no man's sky is a arcade like space game while star citizen is a simulator I don't exactly know how to compare them but star citizen itself is a more down to Earth version and is more focused on roleplay etc

[dry copper]

NMS is to Star Citizen what GTA5 is to Ratchet and Clank

[serene copper]

So it wouldn't necessarily feel like I'm starting nms over again lol?

Ratchet n clank was so good lmaoo

[dry copper]

but you'll never play it and think...This feels like GTA5

I didn't know star citizen had building in it

[serene copper]

That's a good explanation, so it'd be a new game experience then?

[serene copper]

Idk if it does lmao nms does and I like that

[dry copper]

Spacecraft is also coming out soon

[serene copper]

Idk what that is lmaoo

Should I just wait till that comes out or something?

Lets fuckin go

tbf it is sony/PSS though so i expect some inaccuracies

[shadow temple]

https://tenor.com/view/wheeze-laugh-gif-14359545

how many time is this IP going to fail before they give up

they had to bundle the first game with consoles just to inflate the numbers

[tranquil glen]

decent but i guess the summer of 2020 was just "lets make games with major events have happened"

[austere lance]

Inb4 Elden Ring 2 releases the same day as it 🤣

Aaaaand there goes a couple hundred hours of your life 😆

Especially if you get Shadow of the Erdtree, LMAO

[verbal plume]

real

gonna have to replay it soon and the dlc

elden drip is real!!

[quartz ferry]

As someone who does like Horizon Zero Dawn quite a bit I genuinely do not get the obsession of Sony over it it is a good game but they are beating that IP to death and making it into everything and everything I'm expecting an anime somewhat soon 😂

[edgy viper]

They need the 400 mil that they wasted on concord back.

So Its milking ip time

[winter yew]

I’m about to quit it because of how fucking god awful the camera is

[pure zinc]

This guy pisses me off

[verbal plume]

what about it specifically?

oh

thats just the fixed camera the game has i think?

honestly its been a while since ive played

like it went back down to the middle of your character

[winter yew]

I have every camera settings turned off

[pure zinc]

It’s camera auto leveling. Idk if it’s a setting you can turn off

Many games have it tho so they can keep your camera focused on the art in the sky instead of the ground in a lot of areas

[verbal plume]

it is not yes

[verbal plume]

and thats definitely why in elden ring, the skybox is just great

[pure zinc]

Elden ring has some really good sky boxes, same with dark souls 1-3 and bloodborne, but honestly after playing some of the monster hunter games… they’re tied in how beautiful they all look imo

[winter yew]

I have no problem with autolevel. That’s fine. But the thing is is that it does it when I push the stick in the opposite direction

It does it when I press the stick left or right too.

Not just down

So I don’t understand it. It causes a lot of weird wobbling of the camera that makes me feel like km wrestling with it.

[pure zinc]

Does it only happen when you’re in that doorway?

[winter yew]

No

Happens everywhere

[pure zinc]

Weird

Idk then

[winter yew]

Me either. It’s maddening.
Not to mention the deadzones are horrendous for this camera.
And to top it off the Y axis is the same speed as the X axis which I despise.

[verbal plume]

meh the camera really doesnt matter once locked on, maybe thats why i dont notice it

[austere lance]

@winter yew I'd look it up on reddit or something, cuz I never had any of that happen

[tranquil glen]

hi

eso fun

I was NEVER gonna make it out of there 😭🙏

The tiny speck in the middle of the screen is a hunter (I think, at least). I’ve seen some very funny ragdolls and all of them have been hunters being sent into orbit

I was thinking of master chief.

“I’m giving them back there bomb” 😂

It’s John illuminate!

[winter yew]

I bought a new controller and it’s still happening. Best I can tell it’s a part of the game, everyone has that happen but they don’t realize it.

[tranquil glen]

assuming t his is 40k marines right, yea Ive seen a cut of the marine directly glaring at camera man lol

[obtuse reef]

I think I did alright on this mission

[inland oasis]

1 death, 19 stims. Dudes deff gonna have withdrawal after that one

[obtuse reef]

I only died because a charger snuck up on me

[inland oasis]

I hate how something so big can sneak

[obtuse reef]

I actually got kicked despite out performing everyone

the host kept us from extracting for some reason, I think it was so he and one other guy could take down a medium nest (which took them like 15+ minutes), all while me and the other teammate were desperately trying to stay alive

[inland oasis]

I’m a map clearer usually unless we’re outta time or low on reinforcements 😅

I tend to go off on my own. But when I group back up, it’s like a movie lol

[obtuse reef]

oh yeah, same

I wander off a lot, most of the time I don't even intend to, I just do it

[inland oasis]

I really wish the kick wasn’t an emote

So many times I wanna salute or change my emote and I’ll kick my teammate

😂

Thank god for the sorry voice quip

[obtuse reef]

I dislike people that hold the entire team back from extracting for literally no reason other than they dropped a few common samples across the entire map

especially if the entire extraction point is being swarmed

like what I just experienced

[inland oasis]

Oh if it’s common samples who gives a shit lol. That’s like crying over req slips

Even warbond medals don’t rly matter if you’re getting an extract. Rlly I only care about SC, and if I’m farming SC you ain’t seeing me in super helldive lol

[obtuse reef]

I mean, the guy somehow managed to spend 15+ minutes on clearing a medium nest with help

[inland oasis]

If you ain’t got the nades or strats, well, till you can resupply your screwed

I’ve been in that situation

Downside of all turrets

I rely on grenade pistol and resupplying nades

[obtuse reef]

even if it was difficulty 10, the vast majority of the bugs were on extract, they died multiple times so they shouldn't have run out of grenades

[inland oasis]

I wish they removed the mechanic where the stratagem ball bounces off certain spots

Make em sticky

Or like for example if I’m on an elevated area, usually it’s an implacable spot. It sucks

Places jump pack gets you

[obtuse reef]

I'm not sure how the pelican pilot manages to perfectly balance a mech on a thin wall, but it's both impressive and infuriating

[inland oasis]

Pelican pilot has taken me out many times

[dry copper]

Sounds like a nice dinner.

[dry copper]

Like that time a strategm stuck to your bot and called down hell upon your head?

[inland oasis]

I’ve had resupply strat balls bounce off walls and get stuck to me. Pretty much just gotta accept death or dive in time.

I hate that you can stick an enemy but the place it fires is where the ball landed not where it is. Depending on the strat.

[pure zinc]

If I post this they’re gonna say I’m doing something wrong again 😭
Istg they hate the fuck out of the attack I’m doing for absolutely no reason. Like… it does good damage, it’s a good chipping move, like… people are stupid

Pretty much everything in this clip was hard calculated too

Yet they wanna call it “random”

[pure zinc]

That clip is a face shot with the move they hate

Another face shot with the exact move

I know the moves purpose, yet “veteran” players try to make me feel like I’m doing something wrong

[pure zinc]

I posted it, we’ll wait for what they have to say

[obtuse reef]

and that right there is why I hate people who worship metas in games

[pure zinc]

Me too

I’ve never enjoyed meta play styles

They’re always extremely boring

[obtuse reef]

yeah, they're just not fun

[pure zinc]

I watch speed runners do the same attack over and over when the weapon was intended to be flashier

Also they argue tcs has better damage, but it’s like 200 damage they’re arguing over

It’s beyond stupid

lol

I feel bad for any new player that has to deal with them

Bc I feel like at this point I’m just trolling them with something I actually believe in 😭

[obtuse reef]

Speedrunners technically have an excuse to be as efficient as possible, but regular players who probably have never seen the sunlight nor spoken to a woman have no such reason to suck all the joy out of a game

[pure zinc]

Exactly

And unfortunately, the monster hunter community always compares themselves to speed runners

When they talk damage, they don’t also realize they’re talking quest completion time

Which the average player does not care about

The average player cares about not dying often and being able to hold their ground

The tips people give for this weapon are just extremely god awful and weak tips, and they ultimately neglect the true power of the greatsword

Like yea, tcs is good damage, but the average player is not gonna be able to land that consistently and predict monsters consistently. It’s easier to predict your own character movement instead, and the move acts as a alternative dodge to get some damage in while evading

But apparently “I no use brain, so I’m bad”

[obtuse reef]

Meta builds are more brainless than just straight up button mashing

because button mashing requires actual input from the player

[pure zinc]

I mean the advice they give is pretty much just timed button mashing 💀

[obtuse reef]

I could describe my thoughts on people who worship meta builds, but I'd probably get banned

I utterly despise those people

especially the ones who think they're actually good at the game and everyone who refuses to use a meta build is trash

[pure zinc]

I just gave advice about it too 😭

Let’s see how the rest of the cord acts 💀
