Classic banger. 💯

[rotund cosmos]

NOOOO

[inland oasis]

i even warned him -.-

[rotund cosmos]

The folly of ignorance!

[inland oasis]

from now on imma act like idk what they mean

like im throwin normal barrages

"mine have always done this"

[rotund cosmos]

"I dunno, they buffed them awhile ago"

[obtuse reef]

The average Helldiver doesn’t realize that if they stay away from the giant fucking red beacon that says that the immediate area is about to be glassed, they’ll stay alive

[rotund cosmos]

Moreso with Jenks

Jenks' cannons are strong, they damage frames too

[obtuse reef]

I’m starting to think that managed democracy doesn’t exist because SE is trying to control humanity, but because the average citizen is on the same intellectual level as a diced onion

[inland oasis]

how dare you insult diced onions

[rotund cosmos]

Heresy! Wait wrong universe!

[obtuse reef]

Oh, I’m not sure if anyone’s noticed this, but the citizens you rescue during the evacuate missions have a new run animation. They actually look like they’re running for their lives, with some of them flailing their hands in the air.

[coarse swift]

Man people really don't like this new warbond

[obtuse reef]

Oh yeah, they really don’t

Honestly, if they were to buff it, I think the new passive should make your limbs immune to breaking. Like, yeah, that sounds super over powered, but I think it’d be a nice addition

[coarse swift]

If they're gonna release a roleplay warbond then it shouldn't be the full 1000 sc tbh

[obtuse reef]

Or it should have an extra page or so

[rotund cosmos]

JESUS

[inland oasis]

his airbursts were insane lol. had to of been more than 2

[rotund cosmos]

This was such a beatdown. the switchup from friend to DIE! was so quick XD

[tranquil glen]

atleast it aint cooked onions ngl

cause cooked sucks

[inland oasis]

sweated onions

[ashen pewter]

damn-

[obtuse reef]

I mean, the whole point of the MO isn’t to actually stop the squids. It’s just to kill enough of em by the time that they reach Super Earth that they won’t steamroll us

[ashen pewter]

they hit our dss

[obtuse reef]

Yep

[rotund cosmos]

Ok, ethics test done. Now to eat to prepare for some absolutely ethical shennanigans

[obtuse reef]

Turns out, parking a space station in orbit next to an enemy fleet is what many would consider an “oopsie-daisy”

[shadow tartan]

I was wondering why people did that

Let me just drive my Taurus into this gunfight

[obtuse reef]

I mean, it works. The DSS is a giant fuck-off battle station designed to single-handedly blockade entire planets, but maybe we shouldn’t just throw it into the enemy fleet and see what happens

[shadow tartan]

For the narrative though

[rotund cosmos]

Gotta roll up on the block in my McClaren

[shadow tartan]

Like when the Death Star takes damage and comes back even more diabolical

[shadow tartan]

That can't even take a minor collision

[rotund cosmos]

Ok, but the second time it blew up, only the weapon was operational

[shadow tartan]

When your friends arrived

[obtuse reef]

No, but it’d look cool as fuck

[shadow tartan]

If only they got the GTA V upgrades

Bulletproof tyres

[rotund cosmos]

Actually be armored

[obtuse reef]

Better than showing up in the “super” minivan you’d use to drop off the kids

[shadow tartan]

Kuruma OP

[obtuse reef]

See, I’m gonna show these squids that you can drift a Super Destroyer… by drifting my Super Destroyer directly into them

Just because it’s a bad idea doesn’t mean it won’t be fun

[shadow tartan]

Wish we could get a Pelican to fly around

[obtuse reef]

I just want a tank

Not even to have a big gun, I just want to drive a tank

[shadow tartan]

2 year mark I reckon

Don't think they added tanks straight away in the first game

[inland oasis]

😭 if i didnt work tonight id still be on. i just hopped off.

[inland oasis]

duke o death better. does wheelies, and free

karuma got props in speed tho

[shadow tartan]

I'd stopped playing by that point 😢

[inland oasis]

idek when it was introduced. i remember it being bugged into online. then eventually just put in officially

[shadow tartan]

I stopped playing a little while after VIP stuff was introduced, felt like a job

Better to be a real high level criminal instead

theres so many organization things now i dont even know what all does what or anything. the only ones i have is a MC club, and a facility. and i think 1 nightclub, and a house in the maze apartments.

[shadow tartan]

I had yachts

Yatches

Had one on each account

Those were fun

Defend the boat

I know everyone probably knows already but Nvidia was giving away this free armour for Doom Dark Ages, it gets added to your Bethesda account so maybe you can access it on other platforms

[rotund cosmos]

It was so sad, I had a fresh cup of coffee right beside me... and it was untouched

[shadow tartan]

I hate it when that happens

They really improved performance mode in HD2 on PS5

way less potato

[rotund cosmos]

I don't remember if mine is on medium or performance

[shadow tartan]

Only got Quality and Performance on PS5, turned AA off too

[inland oasis]

The adrenaline of having to avoid orbital bombardment wearing off will do that 😅

[rotund cosmos]

The amount of "Sweet mother of god" scenes in my head at that orbital bombardment or airburst crazyness

"Interest discovered"
Affirmative, Eliminating Interest

[inland oasis]

Pretty certain it broke the AI at times. For example that bugged out acid spitter, when we fought bots if I dropped some, they’d just stand there during it while I shot at them

[rotund cosmos]

"Hellow Scientists, we are here to rescue you"

The scientists: well, our chances went from slim to NONE

well, what’s left of it…

[rotund cosmos]

We have their teeth for DNA identification!

"Soldier, is that what that powder is in that bag?"

[inland oasis]

I’ve also never seen the maps get so deformed before 💀

[inland oasis]

Sir, this is souvenir steve, sir!

[rotund cosmos]

Duuude, looking for samples after the bombardment is like looking for valuables at ground zero

[inland oasis]

Wonder what time they’ll fix it. I hope I get get a few hours in after work for my day off to enjoy it the last little bit

[rotund cosmos]

It was fun while it lasted. I'm glad that medals and super credits don't need to be extracted to count

But next time... im bringing the garand, I melee'd so many bugs, it was ridiculous

[inland oasis]

I was just clip hunting and only managed to record a whole ….2

I like how fast the grenade pistol whip is

@shadow tartan are you helldiving?

Apparently theres no fortnite mobile atm, cause apple blocked it

And rejected resubmittals

[dry copper]

Epic is restoring Fortnite to the apple store later this year

They sued Apple into the ground

and won

[tranquil glen]

Yea and apparently apparently atm its been rejected several times now

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/fortnite-removed-from-app-store-entirely-after-apple-blocks-them-in-us/ar-AA1ETbca?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=44c5955bc5fa4030bd530b7bcf3f4a76&ei=54

[dry copper]

Sucks to be Apple

[tranquil glen]

Sucks to fortnite

[dry copper]

Apple is going to lose. It's only a matter of time. They're going to be adding hundreds of millions in damages to their loss at this rate.

Apple might decide to suck ass with the justice department in order to try and avoid criminal contempt charges, but that won't help them long term do more than avoid jail time.

[orchid fox]

"now"? Blood its been blocked for over a year since their payment processing stunt which started epics lawsuit lol

Despite it being Apple's tos

(still amazed epic won that if i gotta be honest)

[tranquil glen]

Well yea their win was very recent even if it started years ago

[tranquil glen]

August of 2020 vs early May of 2025

Why does msn say 2020 then

[orchid fox]

Knew it was around 2021 just not what month

[dry copper]

Apple didn't listen and Epic sued again

[orchid fox]

[dry copper]

Apple are facing criminal contempt charges now

[orchid fox]

Apple straight up ignored court order ye and pretty sure they lied under oath couple times

[tranquil glen]

Good apple should get fucked for this

[dry copper]

Epic are now also going after Google for the same shit...and they are going to win again

[tranquil glen]

Big companies fighting for stuff like this does help the lil guys

[dry copper]

Epic is mowing the lawn.

[orchid fox]

If they fuck over one phone company for the practice logic goes to show they can do it to every phone app store

Despite how fucked it sounds

[dry copper]

It will help a lot of smaller developers that Epic wins this.

[inland oasis]

hey epic, do something to nintendo now

💀

[dry copper]

It's kind of like how sometimes Valve shits on people for anticompetitive or anti-consumer practices

[orchid fox]

Despite my fucking hatred for epic, this is a thing i can agree with and actually give Kudos for

[tranquil glen]

Like asking them not to make $700 bricks

[dry copper]

Oh Shiiit! Dead Island 2 is free on epic right now

[inland oasis]

forreal? free's free

yoink

[orchid fox]

Im more offeded on the 90 usd physical than the 700usd propratary bricks that they consider a fucking liscese.

[tranquil glen]

Sad cant get it unless via laptop

[orchid fox]

Also the fact they reserve the right to brick ur console if misuse and in same eula lease ur right to sue is wild

And its a forced agree

[tranquil glen]

Yea, no games i want on switch 2

If there does get a few well, time to pc mod

[orchid fox]

I want switch 2 and some games but the bricking clause kinda disgust me regardless lol

[tranquil glen]

Most games i want via wishlist are on steam or coming to steam this/next year

[rotund cosmos]

Ok, are we talking about the new license to use Switch 2?

[inland oasis]

ty for this haha

[orchid fox]

I am

Not the rest

[rotund cosmos]

ITS SO WORTH IT

[tranquil glen]

Cause like, i dont care for consoles anymore, only exclusives i care for is DS2 next year

[dry copper]

Free? Sure is.

[inland oasis]

seriously. the only way it gets better is if they paid me to play it

[orchid fox]

I want switch and other stuff but its so fucked of a clause i am not seticised to @rotund cosmos

Fuck u android lol

(phone tag targeting is annoying)

[tranquil glen]

EGS has said fuck my desktop

[dry copper]

Funny. I've been going on twitch, encouraging streamers to contact developers for that very reason. A lot of developers keep a budget just to give to advertising and promotions and can afford to give shit away to streamers to promote their shit

[orchid fox]

?

[dry copper]

We're coming up on a series of big launches...Developers are gunna be hungry to promote

[tranquil glen]

Invalid drive, the one it was installed on corrupted, so i disconnected it and reformatted, but now i have to change another drive to that letter to mske it work

[orchid fox]

Stellar blade bl4 morbid metal god knows how many Xbox releases and sit ones

Nightregn

Ffxiv crescent Isle may 27 (field ops)

[tranquil glen]

Isle weavers… wf

[dry copper]

I've been curating streamers into categories like "Teen but not adult" or "Family friendly" and "Adult (swear words and often crude humor)"

[orchid fox]

That as well

[dry copper]

For the purpose of identifying streamers worth promoting to kids

[orchid fox]

Yareli prime

[tranquil glen]

Isn’t there some other updates for another game the day after

[orchid fox]

Yes but forgot which

Ik there are couple of em

[tranquil glen]

Along with release of DUNE AWAKENING

[orchid fox]

Couldnt give an iota of a damn tbh on that one

[tranquil glen]

Jun10th

I only care bc beta was fun

[orchid fox]

Stellar blade 6th as said last night

On pc

Prob like 6 other releases summer wise that escape my brain

Bl4 september

[tranquil glen]

Aight gtg write code 👨‍💻

[orchid fox]

Enjoy

[inland oasis]

rly hope its better than 3....surely it cant get worse...XD

and i like 3 for its mechanics. but that story....yea no thanks.

[orchid fox]

Besides the evil twins i wanted to strangle every time they showed on screen (not even due to personality stereotype just that it was so overdone they kiled the fun every time they showed up)
The actual narrative and expansion narrative was very good imo

If u EXLUDE the twins in that statement

[inland oasis]

and ava

[orchid fox]

Some of the expansions is very enjoyable

[orchid fox]

That was the siren kid brat afaik?

Been a while

[inland oasis]

ye maya's "apprentice"

[orchid fox]

I have so much fucking critisicm on that kid and her statenments being counter intuitive to her own narrative so much....

Given i finished basegame like twice?

[inland oasis]

thing that always confused me, is iirc there is only ever allowed to be 3 sirens in the universe. if troy and tyreen were 2, maya, and lilith (tho she loses hers) and then maya dies, then ava becomes one. but....thats still 4. or, if you count the main character amara too. another.

[orchid fox]

Still amused me they repeated to death there was only ever 7 sirens for years and on 3/tales they retconned it to 8 as wouldnt u know it, bl4 was announced

And lookie a 8th siren protag

[inland oasis]

thats always been the biggest plothole for me, of the whole game imo.

[orchid fox]

Im not even a bl lore fanatic but come on gearbox be at least a BIT subtle

[rotund cosmos]

AAAH NOOO

[inland oasis]

starting dead island 2 for the fiirst time ^_^

[mental rose]

I kind of like free shit, but I absolutely despise Epic....

[rotund cosmos]

Let me know when Co-op becomes available

[inland oasis]

i cant decide between jacob and bruno (lil pump) XD

[tranquil glen]

https://tradesmanbob.github.io/TheTutorialGame/intro-scene.html

[orchid fox]

Troy and tyreen would prob count as 1 if we go deep technical given twin birth

Does that help the establish lore rule at all fucking NOPE

[inland oasis]

true, troy was a leech if i remember right. tyreen was the real siren

[orchid fox]

Yep

Kinda sorta

[rotund cosmos]

We gonna ignore the fact Troy was a Male Siren?

[inland oasis]

i dont think he was purely siren

[orchid fox]

Aw for whatever reason sirens can only be fem

[inland oasis]

he leeched tyreens power

[orchid fox]

God knows why

The acquired of the power i mean

[inland oasis]

i never actually knew they intended only female sirens. i mean i knew we had no male ones, but figured its just cuz. i never knew they always were female but that adds up

[orchid fox]

Its established nothing im talking out of my ass on

[rotund cosmos]

It just don make sense... the. Again, who plays borderlands for the story?

[orchid fox]

Hence Troy is the leech despite being siren in name

[rotund cosmos]

I just want skippable cutscenes

[inland oasis]

they are now

or did i have some kinda mod lol

[rotund cosmos]

now

[inland oasis]

lmao true

[rotund cosmos]

BL3 and Wonderlands needs mods to be playable

[orchid fox]

I do a fair bit unironicallt even if narrative intentionally are made nonsensical

[rotund cosmos]

Me too! But afterwards, I WILL skip everything

And I dont wanna do speedrun strats just to do cutscenes

[orchid fox]

Lol

Fair

[inland oasis]

ugh dead island pissin me off. i get amazing 60 fps or better, but its like microstuttering and i have no clue why.

only using like 77-84% cpu

ok as i say that... its stopped. for now

[rotund cosmos]

I loved the FF16 story... and now, i groan at in game cutscenes

[pseudo lodge]

We are getting a NMS clone guys

[orchid fox]

I tried to play ff16

Issue my pc commit suicide just on intro sequence

Sub 30fps regardless of scale chosen

My pc does not fucking approve of the high speed ifrit and Phoenix section when making a save as even with 7gb/s speed its still too slow to process it 💀

[rotund cosmos]

Ifrit is crazy detailed

[rotund cosmos]

I'm still chewing through the ng+ content

[shadow tartan]

Combat was pretty damn sweet

[shadow tartan]

Do you have the DLC?

[tranquil glen]

Half life has very few load screns

Like actual screns, not 20s pauses

[rotund cosmos]

I do now. Just recently

[shadow tartan]

You played either of the new FFVII ones?

[rotund cosmos]

Nope

Not yet

[inland oasis]

i cant play dead island 2. the fucking microstutter anytime anything happens is horrible

even when im gettin 70-80 fps

like 4x now i died cuz ill be swingin at a zombie for it to stutter and suddenly im lookin in a complete diff direction and they end up swarming me

[rotund cosmos]

Oh god

Anything in setting help?

[inland oasis]

thats the thing its not even a performance issue. its butter smooth up until theres any action

like, kicking around a body is fine and dandy but the second i have a few live ones i go after, its like right when they lunge or aggro ill get these little stutters

[obtuse reef]

Sounds like your PC is struggling to handle the game’s AI

What’s your memory usage?

[inland oasis]

only going like 74-70% cpu usage

mem was only in the 30s-40s

[obtuse reef]

No sharp spikes in usage anytime you’re in combat?

[inland oasis]

well yea, every stutter is a spike

thats why it stutters

but its so minimal, just at the most painful of times

[shadow tartan]

@inland oasis have you turned if off and back on again?

[rotund cosmos]

Something had to be computing too much when it happens

[shadow tartan]

Not even kidding

[inland oasis]

ill turn you off n back on again 😠

xD

[shadow tartan]

Just turn me off

[rotund cosmos]

Because, you're only early in the game. There will be more zombies on screen

[shadow tartan]

But seriously have you rebooted and tried it again

[rotund cosmos]

And if Shamblers and Walkers are giving you issues, somethings up

[shadow tartan]

I used to leave my PC on for months

[obtuse reef]

It sounds like that game has really poor AI optimization

[inland oasis]

i looked online a few things. some seemed to remedy it temporarily. other say alt tabbing can cause it which well, i cant NOT alt tab

like it doesnt seem to if i lock to 60 fps. but i can easily get like 70-80 so i dont wanna.

[rotund cosmos]

This is not something I went through

[inland oasis]

imma load it back up again

[obtuse reef]

It’s possible it’s hardware differences

[inland oasis]

the only background task is discord. i even went and set the priority in task manager to high

like i said its not like performance stutters. its like annoying micro ones

[obtuse reef]

I know exactly what you’re talking about, and yeah, it’s awful

[inland oasis]

and i cant clip it cuz i dont wanna run my record software while playing since i already have issues

holy shit it FLEW thru the shaders in like 2 seconds that time

[shadow tartan]

You didn't skip the recompiling did you?

[inland oasis]

no thats what it just shockingly flew thru

[shadow tartan]

Did you Jenx it?

[inland oasis]

in task manager is realtime a higher priority than high? or is it moreso like a "dynamic" priority?

[tranquil glen]

What if tf2 as helldivers

Heavy tank ofc

Sentry boi engie

Demo explosives expert

Scout fast boi

[inland oasis]

ugh yea its still here

gonna lock to 60 i guess. if its still does it then idek

[mental rose]

Spy with his Sapper would be surprisingly effective vs Bots. 😏

[shadow tartan]

Realtime is higher

But you shouldn't need to do all of that

If you can get stable 60 without stuttering that's more than playable right?

[inland oasis]

even at 60 it stutters

[shadow tartan]

Shiiiet

[inland oasis]

its smooth asf when it doesnt do it

[shadow tartan]

Fkn Unreal maybe

[inland oasis]

imma restart my whole ass pc

speaking of unreal

i have heard that may be one reason

[shadow tartan]

Yeah restart, that's the first thing I do

People overlook it

But it's kinda standard

Even mobile

[shadow tartan]

@rotund cosmos did you get Remake when they gave it away for free on PS Plus?

[rotund cosmos]

No... I missed that month I think

[inland oasis]

If you got to here, you most likely cried 😭 lmao

like i was starting to get worried with where i was like i still kinda hardly know or understand shit. just parts n peices. and if i was close to done i was gonnna be mad xD

[idle saffron]

I think it's the best story I've played in an RPG in quite some time

[inland oasis]

its automatically one of my top 5 games. GOTY for sure

[idle saffron]

You are going to get your favorite picto not too long from now

[inland oasis]

so many pictos and luminas XD

[idle saffron]

Nuts

[inland oasis]

its almost overwhelming

[idle saffron]

No limit on lumina being applied either

[inland oasis]

that parts nice yea

[idle saffron]

I may or may not have put a few hundred on Maelle

[rotund cosmos]

I uhh... I dont

The heck is that?

Expedition 33 lol

[idle saffron]

Smh

[rotund cosmos]

Ooh

[split ridge]

Same here!!

[inland oasis]

[split ridge]

I think I'm getting close to the end.

[inland oasis]

i cannot read the attacks to save my life. the delays, and bluffs, and animations throw me off so much everytime

[tranquil glen]

No i mean the guy in background loos like a older version of Lies of P

[split ridge]

It takes me a couple tries to get used of the timing that some enemies have but there are sooooo many different enemy types, it gets hard to master fighting them all.

[inland oasis]

muzz asked what the heck it was tho xD

[tranquil glen]

Lies of P is a souls like

Think of Pinocchio, but metal machinations as a souls like

https://tenor.com/view/lies-of-p-gif-14715347697154001488

Very punked steam very souls like, probably not very demure

[idle saffron]

Expedition 33 is dying for a photo mode

You should go beat that guy up as soon as you can btw

[split ridge]

I swam up to that guy when I first got access to that area and got my ass whooped lol

[idle saffron]

Yeh, that's a bit early

Limited attacks though, and reward is fantastic

[split ridge]

Who's your favorite character

[idle saffron]

Esquie

Lol

Maelle for the fighting

[split ridge]

Yeah I like Esquie a lot lol

Monoco is probably my favorite character because I like how he can shift to other enemies

[idle saffron]

Fun way to unlock his abilities too

Collecting feet lmao

[inland oasis]

lemme tell you about the first time i ran into a chromatic enemy 😅

also esquie is a fucking BOSS

[idle saffron]

Brutalized

Same

[rotund cosmos]

So...

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/bloons-td-monkey-monke-monki-bloons-gif-27428259

[rotund cosmos]

What I've learned is parrying is hard?

[inland oasis]

i get embarrassed by petanks ffs 😭

[idle saffron]

Hahah, yeah

[rotund cosmos]

This game sounds fun!

[inland oasis]

if u dodge first to test the timing no. but if your me, yes

i absolutely suck at it.

[idle saffron]

Can be yeah, some things have nice indicators, others not so much - and missing one timing in a combo usually cascades

[rotund cosmos]

I mean... I played Rise of the Ronin and was in like the 5th chapter before I realized "I should block more"

[inland oasis]

if it gets any harder for me ill literally have to go emergency mode and cheat xD

i have to finish this story

[rotund cosmos]

Before then. I was parrying EVERYTHING

[split ridge]

I don't normally play turn based games like that so I definitely find it hard to get used to lol

Expedition 33 has a killer soundtrack though. It gets stuck in my head for hours

[inland oasis]

alot of times i only roughly get 30-38 fps too so i think my timing is 2x off

omg the music ❤️

[idle saffron]

Did you see they put the entire soundtrack on YouTube for us?

100+

[split ridge]

I actually have not checked that out yet.

[inland oasis]

my fave is the one funky high intensity saxophone battle song

if u got the ultimate edition you get the soundtrack

[split ridge]

Remember the music that plays in the colosseum with the weird dancing enemies?

[idle saffron]

Wow, they made it available on everything

[inland oasis]

i have no idea where to go to find it tho

[idle saffron]

https://lnk.to/clair-obscur-expedition-33

[mental rose]

Wait... so instead of selling the soundtrack, they put it all on Youtube??

[idle saffron]

Not just YouTube

Like, everywhere

[split ridge]

Even Spotify?

[inland oasis]

ok ow...i paid for that lol

[inland oasis]

and the outfits. so thats a saving grace

[split ridge]

Sweet

[idle saffron]

Yo, there are so many

[mental rose]

Weird devs for not selling the OST on Steam like 99% of games seem to

[inland oasis]

fr. and the Mimes 😄

[idle saffron]

Lol

I'm glad I got that first one in Lumiere

[inland oasis]

wasnt that short hair maelle?

[idle saffron]

Maybe? I remember it had the baguette outfit

[inland oasis]

atleast i think, thats what my first mime gave me.

OH YEA

for lune

[idle saffron]

There are a ton of out of the main path mini bosses also

Great game, do recommend

[inland oasis]

have u gotten the one called ||pure for verso?||

[idle saffron]

I have, and for all of them

[inland oasis]

😮

[idle saffron]

Monocos is a bit different ofc

[inland oasis]

i love monoco and Verso's commaraderie

[idle saffron]

My main group is the ladies, they are all rocking pure

[idle saffron]

Yeah for sure

[inland oasis]

all the character relationships feel so organic and natural

[idle saffron]

Benefits to raising that stat also, which is easy enough ofc

[inland oasis]

OMG when we found out that esquie was ||FULL OF WINE|| !!!

i DIED

[idle saffron]

Lmaooo

I was thinking we were getting a giant revelation to the story

Too funny

[inland oasis]

seriously like. i thought he was gonna say he was made up of the souls of people or some horrific shit

[idle saffron]

Lol

Lol

Ok double send

Calm down

[split ridge]

Same lmaoo

[inland oasis]

for those who come after 😭

[idle saffron]

Oh man I can't wait for you to seeeee

[split ridge]

Is the ending deep too?

[idle saffron]

I can honestly say, whatever you think is going to happen..you are wrong

[idle saffron]

Yes, it's tasty

[inland oasis]

tbh, im clueless as to wtf could even happen

XD

[idle saffron]

I literally said out loud what the fuck, multiple times

[split ridge]

Yeah it's definitely going to be interesting lol

I'm going to be hopping on soon. The combat takes me a lot of time though

[inland oasis]

my thoughts tho based off from where i am i believe ||the paintress is more or less "the creator" and everything exists due to her. why idk. how? idk. and why we wanna stop her is cuz of all the evil, but in a real world youd need both that conflict and peace. so removing her removes well, existence. and thus i have no idea whatd be after|| now, ontop of all that being wrong. yea, im clueless

[idle saffron]

I getcha, that's what kept Red away, she didn't like it at all

[idle saffron]

Lol

[split ridge]

The combat is really addictive, it just has a learning curve to it ig

[idle saffron]

Edging into the vicinity

[inland oasis]

yea i struggle with that part. ill fail like a parry or two, miss a few dodges and feel like i 100% thought i timed it fine, and shit hits me still. ragequit.

[idle saffron]

There is a hidden boss that is a freaking monster fight, I still haven't passed it

[inland oasis]

renoir XD

[idle saffron]

Nah, tho he can go hard

[split ridge]

I usually stay silent when playing video games but when I'm doing the combat in this game, I'm moving on the edge of my seat, silently cursing to myself and getting mad when I lose the really long boss fights

[idle saffron]

This one is ridiculous

[inland oasis]

renoir gives me such anime baddie vibes like. he shows up and the literal universe holds its breath in fear

[idle saffron]

Great character

[inland oasis]

guh dammit now i gotta get on

[split ridge]

The Dualliste fight was epic

[idle saffron]

So many good enemies

They did an excellent job with variety

[inland oasis]

did yall kill the like sewing machine thread monster thing?

[split ridge]

Yes

[idle saffron]

I did, the weaver

[inland oasis]

good

[split ridge]

What did you think of that area

It was so weird with the music and dancing

[inland oasis]

i loved walking on the magic carpets.

[idle saffron]

The rides were neat!

I don't even know what those one eye creepy things were, but I want one

[inland oasis]

i cant help but constantly think that im always missing stuff in some of the map layouts like the one with those rides, cuz there so many ways to take that they let you go

[split ridge]

I had a really tough time with sirene

[inland oasis]

im tempted to switch on that one camera movement setting that says it can dramatically change how a battle feels or something

[idle saffron]

Oh yeah, I haven't checked any settings out

[inland oasis]

i have used auto QTE from the start xD

i cant even defend myself dont even try to make my attacks rely on it too

[idle saffron]

Lol

[inland oasis]

i have a fast reaction time, but not accurate. where i shouldve jumped ill try dodging, etc

i always react wrongly

[idle saffron]

It took me awhile to stop trying to parry the same way I do in other games

[inland oasis]

so much damage tho C:

hitting that perfect group gradient counter 🫦

[idle saffron]

Yessss

[split ridge]

That charm effect pisses me off

[inland oasis]

oh fuck that one

QuIt HiTtInG yOsElF

[split ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/he-cant-keep-getting-away-with-it-gif-19335672

[idle saffron]

You got that anti charm pico from the weaver thingy

[split ridge]

Me when I get that effect

[inland oasis]

me currently :3

whopping 31 fps

[idle saffron]

I had verso with the gestral cut for awhile

[inland oasis]

i made gustave a paintbrush xD

[split ridge]

I really don't play around with the cosmetics

[idle saffron]

Not even the Viking cut for Monoco?

[inland oasis]

is that the one ||verso gave him||?

[idle saffron]

Yeah

[inland oasis]

hahah im rocking that one

[idle saffron]

It's terrific lol

[inland oasis]

my jamaican brudda mon.

[idle saffron]

Who knew verso was a stylist

[inland oasis]

i cant lie sciel is goddamn perfect xD

[idle saffron]

Super chill too

[inland oasis]

yea, that other camera modes kinda nice. it just keeps the camera slighty behind and overhead your party. rather than all the camera cuts to the monsters n such

[idle saffron]

I'll have to check it out

[inland oasis]

guh 😍

[inland oasis]

uhhhh not enough to pay attention to i dont think lol

[split ridge]

I'm pretty sure I hear him say "my lovely feat" unless I'm hearing it wrong lol

[inland oasis]

dude forreal. i cant stop mutilating things

[dry copper]

Didn't they do the gore system like GTA4 did the car dmg system?

Basically ....completely dynamic damage

[inland oasis]

Dead Island 2 feels very reminescent Dead Island 1, but combat is a bit smoother with more options for creative engagement.

Not a fan of how quickly weapons break

[austere lance]

I love the parry system in it, big fan

[rotund cosmos]

The dodge mechanic in it is clunky though

[regal yew]

https://tenor.com/view/im-a-big-fan-lewi-lewis-fan-spinning-nikocado-avacado-gif-21664606

[inland oasis]

My issue in it seems to be I cannot figure out the boundaries of the range on some of the weapons. I’ll feel close enough to hit, while being enough out of enemy range, to not get hit, and miss, so I gotta get closer, but then it’s as if the enemy always swings faster so I get hit to give a hit nonstop unless im forced to kick them first or dodge Everytime. I play super aggressive and it’s severely punishing my gameplay style 😅

However, it is brutal, funny, I LOVE the physics and hits feel weighty. It’s really fun and good.

I also get weird performance issues on the CPU end. I can get 60-80 fps in spots, others 30-32. With or without the up scaling.
It seems to typically happen when I’ve either killed a few zombies, been in an area for too long (as refreshing the zone, or reloading from main menu) refreshes my fps

Ontop of it being free I can completely overlook those issues for how fun it seems to be already

[rotund cosmos]

Love that game

But I hate the night

[inland oasis]

It’s dark dark lol. I like that though. Takes me away from the usual “I can still see in this” type of dark

[mental rose]

Moonlight is a real phenomena though. It's what illuminates the night so to speak

[inland oasis]

Yea I’ve had some really bright nights here sometimes cuz the moons shining so bright

[rotund cosmos]

But, nights are like "I can't see jack shit even with this flashlight"

[inland oasis]

Flashlight is pretty dookie lol. Like why don’t they just use there cell phone LED’s.

[idle saffron]

I'm contemplating doing a new game plus run, leery of the difficulty though

[inland oasis]

i just accept the ass beating 😭

If there’s one thing I wish I could change tho I wish that 9,999 wasn’t a max damage hit.

I realllyyyy don’t like limitations like that when they allow you to build into that much strength in the first place

[mental rose]

Hah. That so brings me back to FFX days when each partymember's legendary weapon would allow you to break the health and damage limit.

Go from 9999 -> 99999

Austria wins Eurovision 2025

With this song

[inland oasis]

got a new fun loadout in HD2 im using. crossbow with the talon energy revolver. things fun af 😄

i do think the ADS in first person is WAY too far out tho

really wish the game had a seperate first person FOV slider too

[dry copper]

Played a little dead island 2 last night. It was....not bad.

A little same-o

Felt like Dead Island 1 in a new setting

I do like the card system with bonuses

[inland oasis]

i like the ragdoll physics in that, feels weighty yet powerful still

[inland oasis]

is there no way to put your weapon away and just have fists? even with an empty weapon slot it wont let me select it

[dry copper]

Only way is to unequip the handslot

Reddit says you can achieve the same result by holding focus after opening the weapon wheel

On PC that's holding tab and then middle clicking

[inland oasis]

tab pauses...

well not pause but the other menus

[dry copper]

Hold tab, don't just press it

[inland oasis]

i am

[dry copper]

It's the radial menu

With the radial menu open middle mouse click

[inland oasis]

pressing tab just brings up the menu. holding it cycles thru the options after opening

[dry copper]

There's no official way to holster weapons.

There are only glitchy ways

[inland oasis]

ah oh well

[inland oasis]

so i figured out my performance issue with DI2....and its stupid as hell. for some reason with discord up, it stutters regardless of fps performance. for example im getting 60-75fps but with discord up, it does that dumb shit. upon minimizing discord, the hitches and hiccups abruptly cease. xD

So many Anime thumbnails when you search through Stellaris Advisor mods.

And I have no idea what these are even from

Bro, hahahahaha!
I feel like @frigid yarrow Would appreciate this, if they ever start playing Stellaris. 😄 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3183649802

That's what happens when you have 17 pages of Advisor mods. 😁

THIS is how you extract a hostage

[feral ginkgo]

If someone playing GTA online here, how can i counter being raided in my nightclub warehouse, don’t be registered as CEO or president like in Mc Businesses?

[inland oasis]

I usually go into a private lobby by myself if I’m gonna be doing any type of work other players can ruin

[feral ginkgo]

I’m just AFK in invite lobby

I’m always use Invite only to everything except big sells Hangar and nightclub( in a public lobby where can be peace, and not WW3)

[sour dock]

I want to upload some of my Dead Island 2 gameplay to YouTube and should I edit the video, censoring the gore because there is a lot of it or is it ok?

[tranquil glen]

is there no Lydia advisor?

[inland oasis]

If you’re trying to have it monetized, good luck, just that nature of the game alone probably wouldn’t allow it, but idk YouTube specifics. I don’t think there’s much issue with posting gameplay as long as it’s not listed “for kids”

[sour dock]

Thanks, 😃

[mental rose]

Mmm, nope. Nothing comes up with that search word

[tranquil glen]

skyrim adivsor?

[inland oasis]

You wouldn’t be the first person to of posted deadisland 2 content either so, if YouTube had any issue, they’d have a lot of videos that I’ve watched to go after. So I’m sure you’d be fine 🙂 np

I believe they draw the line on YouTube when it comes to violence when it goes from “simulated” to real. Then it crosses a line

[sour dock]

Yeah, I just didn't know if they had specially contacted Youtube notifying about the content.

[inland oasis]

You should never need to request permission to post if I recall correctly. More so post and ask for forgiveness instead if they say “no no no”

[mental rose]

Got flags, emblems, the Skyrim soundtrack and few stuffs unrelated to the keyword.
But nobody's done an advisor mod with the voice, even for shits and giggles.

[tranquil glen]

eh better than nata

[sour dock]

thanks, for the information. it helps

[frigid yarrow]

fun fact.

I HAVE STELLARIS.

mainly for halo playthroughs tho xD

i don't know how good would a fallout run translate there

[mental rose]

Could use the Tomb World origin. 🙂

Welp, fan-made open world Bionicle RPG that's been being worked on for 8 years randomly got shut down by Lego even tho the devs have been checking with Lego every step of the way and they were perfectly ok with it...til now, at least

[shadow tartan]

Suddenly dawned on them that someone has more imagination than they do currently

Sounds like LEGO tbh

[austere lance]

They've been ok with it for 8 years

[barren sparrow]

Change in management, on some meeting it was decided it's no longer OK bc it's their property they do nothing with and no one is allowed to touch it

[shadow tartan]

It's just so strange that they used to be a company all about creativity and imagination and in the past decade they've almost been the opposite

It's not like they've done much with Bionicle

[barren sparrow]

Ive seen some video about how they manage and destroy moulds for LEGO pieces

[shadow tartan]

Maybe they're expecting some licensing money

[barren sparrow]

Current policy and how they assign moulds budgets wouldn't allow for bionicles to exist

[shadow tartan]

They were supposed to have a bunch of Bionicle content in Universe too but obviously that didn't happen

This is just digital stuff

[split ridge]

Dang that sucks, I had that game on my wishlist

[shadow tartan]

Hopefully it gets released somewhere else

Fuck em

[split ridge]

Bionicle is an epic lego theme

[austere lance]

It looks so cool, they were almost finished 😭
https://youtu.be/qfaKKmkhB6Y?si=JBtNEt31oMDjmliD

[barren sparrow]

At this point you may as well not make any fan made content

They were a group of volunteers checking in with LEGO to make sure they are good and they were until they weren't and all of their work will now go down the drain

It's so sickening that you get a bunch of corpos on one side wanting to milk userbase for free content they can use for profit, but on the other hand they refuse to give up any control over the IP

[austere lance]

Lego really waited til the devs were almost done and ready to drop a demo. Made them waste 8 years of their lives and who knows how much of their own resources to make it. Fuck these useless billionaire companies

[split ridge]

they were going to make the game free as well

[austere lance]

Yeah, cuz that's the only way Lego was ok with it existing

[split ridge]

pretty much

[austere lance]

But nooooooope, now it can't exist at all

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-ceo-greedy-it's-my-ip-to-sit-on-and-do-nothing-with-quotes-gif-9030845093140833346

[mental rose]

Well, this new UI is going to take some getting used to...

[dry copper]

No they haven't. They've been faking it so that they could fuck over the fans using their IP on the 11th hour.

It's to discourage anyone even starting to use their IP. Fans will find out on the 11th hour after spending countless hours, blood, sweat and tears on making it work....that OOP no thanks

[barren sparrow]

And now all fans of the game will go and tell people who weren't even interested in the project to "Screw LEGO"

Bc that's good publicity for their products

[dry copper]

All Lego will do is tease a star wars kit and the fans will eat that shit like it's a fetish.

[barren sparrow]

Corporate is evil but it's not that stupid

[mental rose]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-damn-like-a-fiddle-kaz-gif-4466799

[barren sparrow]

Yeah, most of people, but now there will be a solid group who will think twice

Before buying anything

[dry copper]

The half baked bullshit that's been coming from LEGO the last two years is awe inspiring

See Lego City in fortnite

[barren sparrow]

There is no way LEGO was leading them on pretending to be OK to then kill the project at 11th hour

For 8 years

[dry copper]

The confirmation of the project wouldn't even fall on the desk of someone that cares until it conflicted with a plan

So PR got the request most of the time probably

When it mattered to LEGO, that request fell into the hands of a legal department

[split ridge]

LEGO has been getting record sales, especially after and during covid. They are too big to get hit with any kind of bad publicity

They can do whatever they want and people will still buy the 500+ dollar UCS sets

[barren sparrow]

Yeah, but they weren't twirling their mustache for 8 years waiting to cancel a fan project

To "discourage anyone"

It's corporate, someone was ok with it, then came someone who wasn't

[shadow tartan]

Bro I lost my job because of EA dropping a project over a decade ago, shit happens with IPs and products and there's a load of reasons why

[dry copper]

I don't believe they're stupid, so I tend to believe this was on purpose. This isn't the first time LEGO fucked over their fans.

[shadow tartan]

Only thing that matters is the email threads

LEGO probably want it to come under their own publishing considering it is their IP so I wonder what went down

[dry copper]

Even if Lego hadn't planned 8 years in advance, the fact they did this is not uncharacteristic of the company actively discouraging IP infringement.

[shadow tartan]

Doesn't mean the work is completely wasted

It's the same as pitching any idea to a publisher or IP owner

If they were making something for 8 years without some guarantees on paper and just someone being ok with it, that's also kinda stupid

[dry copper]

Yeah.

One expects if they had permission all this time and LEGO pulled the rug on them, they'd have grounds for a lawsuit.

[shadow tartan]

Black and white means everything not just how someone feels about some shit

[shadow tartan]

Yeah it would be contractual

There's plenty of pitches and prototypes that end up as nothing

They're still there

#other-games message

This for example

Has some stuff on it that we never got to release
