I have a 350g SD card in my phone and it's already halfway full of images and videos of gamplay from my fps games I play footage I took and other crap

It's ridiculous

[tranquil glen]

me when i dont constantly record footage

[slow skiff]

I don't constantly record footage though lol that's the thing I only record when I'm in rounds that don't have a bunch of cheaters or hacking jerks

And even then I rarely record

But I've had the same as card for 3 years

Footage can range from 20 to 30 minutes

It adds up

Overtime

And I have to keep it all because I haven't yet gotten around to doing uploads

[tranquil glen]

heres all my storage, on my system iirc for most if not all captures

[slow skiff]

I want to get a external usb 1tb drive so I can store it all separately

My SD card isn't just full of stuff like that though most of of it all is stuff I can't show here

Lmao

[dry copper]

I have 3.5 terabytes almost full

[slow skiff]

Plus screen record which is how I record cod mobile

Takes up a lot of space

💀

Idk why it does but it does

[tranquil glen]

if damage is consecutive hits = more damage but the ammo before reloading is 2, is that better than just +10% against human enemies?

[slow skiff]

?

What?

Your caught me off guard

[slow skiff]

If this is cod related then my answer is each bullet deals a certain amount of damage on its own so damage is accumulative based on number of bullets that hit

Each gun and ammo type has a different bullet damage factor

Fire rounds catch people on fire

So they deal damage over time combined with bullet damage

[tranquil glen]

Its starfield, and difference in perks for a 2 round shotgun

[slow skiff]

Reload time will effect how quickly you can get more shots off

But reload time is almost infinitely variable

So there's no way to calculate it and get one answer

Most fps games though work on the same principle

👀

Your have factors like wind and armor in some

And speed and length from gun to target

How long the bullet travels

Anyway

This is so technical

I could go on and on

There's no one answer

To many variables

This is the only time I've ever been super nerdy about something

And it's about my own passion for fps games

And I can't even answer the question because it's so infinitely variable that there's no right answer

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway good luck on starfield

I'm going to go play cod mobile while my brain melts while thinking about the many different factors if bullet damage in a fps game

[mellow dune]

touhou experience

[tranquil glen]

Ehh i dont think we at the edge yet

[tranquil glen]

Most factors like this only imply projectile not hitscan weaponry, aside from armor ofc

From what i can tell starfield is primarily hitscan

[mellow dune]

🙏

least insane PW mission though

holy

i accidentally started the dancer of the boreal valley fight lol

[austere lance]

Lol, she's certainly an experience

[verbal plume]

i won though!

this greatsword is genuinely amazing, but god it takes a lot of stamina

two heavies is enough to have like one dodge after

and im at about 28 stamina

the profaned greatsword

[tranquil glen]

i kinda wanna re-enter Elden Ring just for the little intake high output damage tanks

[slow skiff]

Had the demo on the Xbox360

[pure zinc]

Its so fire

Goat sim 3 is goat sim but better

They let it cook

Best horde shooter

[tranquil glen]

i prefer ror2 or warframe for that but its great yea

[pure zinc]

Warframe is also good, but kind of a different kind of horde shooter

[tranquil glen]

its a horde shooter looter

[pure zinc]

With nuts scaling

And also third person

And an rpg

Payday 2 is more grounded

But i love warframe

I’ve been trying to grind yareli prime for the last 2 weeks lmao

[tranquil glen]

ngl i think hd2 might also stand among my top 5 best horde shooters with some looting

[pure zinc]

You barely loot tho

It’s a side objective at best

Not the main course

[tranquil glen]

true

as i said with some looting

[pure zinc]

We do a little looting

[tranquil glen]

drg = we do some looting
hd2 = we do a lil looting
warframe = we loot

[pure zinc]

Drg = short small
Hd2 = medium
Sm2 = big tall

[tranquil glen]

sm2?

[pure zinc]

5’10 vs 6’0

[pure zinc]

Space marine

[tranquil glen]

iirc the dwarves are at most 4"6, and marines are 8+

[pure zinc]

But how irl height differences feel

[vivid plover]

majestic ahh pink planet

[verbal plume]

where winds meet?

it any good?

Dancer legit took all my estus

[austere lance]

She's a fun fight if you're rocking a medium build (I did sword and board the whole game)

[verbal plume]

ds3 is very fun honestly

im having a good time

sekiro is the real challenge

i gave up on that so early, but i also might be good at that now

but i do suck at parrying lol

lowkey got that shit on

[verbal plume]

i have a habit now after completing bloodborne. you can't sprint backwards when locked on so i just roll to move back a lott, lol.

in ds3 you can but i just roll everywhere now

[dry copper]

From a purely gameplay perspective, the difficulty scaling can make it as easy or hard as most people prefer. The easiest mode is like batman arkham asylum difficulty. The hardest mode isn't even released yet, but the one a step down from that is like wuxia elden ring.

I prefer the batman arkham asylum difficulty. It feels more flashy and you have more time to plan your moves.

The hardest difficulty is perma death if you die in a fight.

Lose everything

It's not released yet in the west, prob because they haven't made it so you can have more than one character yet and people would lose their shit needing to start this grind from the start, rather than just switch to another char they already made.

I'm about 100 hours in and haven't finished exploring. The quests can be interesting.

I had one where I had to fight a boss that was a genocidal maniac that turned on the people he was sent to protect to get a jade stone to use as a key to open an entire labyrinth of puzzles that lead me to the suppression of an entire religion and then I woke up and I suddenly knew a new martial arts move

Most of the content isn't that in depth.

Most of the content is surface level bullshit politics on display with prejudices, a class system, extreme poverty and on display the exploitations of an entire nation by the rich using other humans as tools at every level of society.

and we enter as an outsider going wtf

For me...I just like the pretty. It reminds me of the juxtaposition created in the witcher series.

Violence and exploitation surrounded by beauty and innovation

I would recommend it...just steer clear of the world chat

It's almost never not a shitshow

[steel grail]

Its my one game that always stays on the PC

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/arc-raiders/clips/lzzImaqlbxLXgquf6

heh, the little jig dance when you move the analogue stick in a circle 😂😭😂

[verbal plume]

this is my first genuine playthrough

i did once before but got stuck on pontiff and quit

[verbal plume]

Arc raiders is so fun lol

[inland oasis]

Blue gate is by far the most beautiful of all the maps, at least imo

[verbal plume]

interesting, ill download it and see if i like it

[inland oasis]

Specially during sunset

[verbal plume]

i just unlocked it and i have to agree

even though i just lost a renegade to the queen

i was in the harvester and it caught me on fire 💔

[inland oasis]

Oh man when you unlock Stella montis, and accidentally stumble upon the tactical trashcans…you’ll be traumatized

[verbal plume]

tactical trashcans

[inland oasis]

Shredders lmao

THEYRE EVIL

[verbal plume]

oh damn

[inland oasis]

Thruster is the one weak point but they are tanky, they’re fast, and if they get close your basically dunzo

It has like a big AOE shrapnel detonation attack

[steel grail]

If u ever need help with any boss Im always down for co-op

[verbal plume]

im pretty much flying through this game now ngl, but if i need the help i will ask

im in lothric castle area now

[tranquil glen]

is shadow of the collousus available

on pc

[steel grail]

U're pretty much done then? Or do u have dlcs to finish too

[steel grail]

Im pretty sure it isnt but then again this is something I looked up years ago

[inland oasis]

Still don’t think it is.

[tranquil glen]

would much prefer colossus on pc than bloodborne

[steel grail]

U take that back sir!

[verbal plume]

oh no i just entered lothric castle, like not even in the actual castle yet

still got the twins

[tranquil glen]

and Ive not played either

[verbal plume]

or brothers, idk if theyre twins

lol

[steel grail]

Ah yes! The most annoying duo fight of the game

[tranquil glen]

I thought the trio was worse?

[verbal plume]

shadow of the colossus is fun

really they both should be on pc, i hate exclusives and i dont even have a pc

its just a dumb concept

[tranquil glen]

welp we do have this :
https://archive.org/details/ShadowoftheColossusMay112005prototype

although i dont think pc likes that file type

[steel grail]

I wouldn't say they're worse but my god its an annoying fight in second phase with all the teleportation and kamehameha from younger brother

[tranquil glen]

ah so tarnished fighting FromSoft Kakarot and Vegeta

https://tenor.com/view/dayaftertomorrow-coldday-mrfreeze-kingdomhearts-kakarot-gif-13382516

[steel grail]

Pretty much! I was doing a pure caster sorcerer build and almost gave up that play through when I got to them

[tranquil glen]

ngl ive still yet to do a single run of elden, strated with sorcerer, and when i return i think imma just go tank

well not sorc but the astrologer

so thinkin soldier with heavy weaponry and low intake but high output

[steel grail]

Will ER be your first fromsoft game?

[tranquil glen]

yes

[steel grail]

Excellent choice

[tranquil glen]

from what ive seen, I wont be playing the previous due to aged jankiness of that era

[steel grail]

Although I highly recommend u avoid all the unnecessary boss fights

Although its subjective which game is better, i think its a safe bet to say that u should definitely play DS3 at least once

Get your feet wet by playing ER and then try DS3

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-comet-azur-comet-azure-beam-sorceror-gif-27649444

this is what i had been going for

but im thinkin i might change

to nullify tank, seems popiular atm on yt

tho i still need a better place to farm the souls, 1.5k rock aint much at all

[steel grail]

And this is exactly why I said that u should play ds3 at least once. Its because ER allows u to do this which is not a bad thing in itself. But u know, its not the signature boss fights of fromsoft games

[tranquil glen]

true

so if i load a save of elden with my computer internet offline, then once im loaded i join a call with internet on, can i be invaded if elden connected to servers in that time, or no?

and i mean multiplayer invasion, ik the npc ones are going to happen regardless

[steel grail]

U can change settings to start the game in offline mode

Ur PC/console can still be connected to internet but the game itself will be offline and should u decide to go online then u just go back to main menu and choose to "log in"

[tranquil glen]

would that affect achievements tho

[steel grail]

Not at all

As far as I know

[tranquil glen]

kk

mm.. stay on warframe or go gtav story...

[verbal plume]

go str/faith

trust 🙏

can bonk and still use cool spells

i like incantations so much more than sorcery

[wraith horizon]

Dayum
I saw how the where winds meet discord functions
Im now grateful for this server

Ppl there ignore you bruh

[verbal plume]

what level are you

find D and give him a deathroot if you haven't yet

he will mark a location, go to that location and it will take you to the bestial sanctum

outside down the path a bit there's like 10 vulgar militia men that i used to farm when i played

[steel grail]

Its a relatively new server right? Maybe ppl are just being shy

[tranquil glen]

My point was more something more afk than repetitive

[verbal plume]

i dont think that exists in elden ring

it's always gonna be pretty repetitive because enemies don't respawn unless you rest

[tranquil glen]

Saw long ago someone hanging off a broken bridge, with enemies just constantly coming ovrr the edge

[verbal plume]

yea but you're gonna need to rest after those 15 die

[tranquil glen]

Who got invaded and thus kicked off that point

[verbal plume]

afaik ds3 is the only souls game with some type of infinite spawning enemy

and its those rats

there is a spot you can run to though, it's in caelid

kill greyoll and win like 60k+ runes i cant remember exactly

plus a golden foot

it's a super easy boss that's legit stuck in the ground by design, you can just run behind him with a bleed weapon

he does not move

when i say stuck i mean he is stuck in the ground

https://youtu.be/KpddAAFFbP0?si=nzn-G7wriFFIktnS

[wraith horizon]

Its basically the souls community with the character customisation
They aint shy

[steel grail]

Wdym!!! The souls community is so friendly tho

[wraith horizon]

No i mean
In terms of shyness

[steel grail]

Oh! Only the PC pve and co-op community of souls is friendly and fun. The console community is filled with absolute lunatics, at least in my experience

[wraith horizon]

Catastrophic wording

[steel grail]

Ah! Well i havent tried that game yet

I really want to but something about netease games

[wraith horizon]

I am playing it and its like playing warframe but atleast warframe tried to tell you whats going on and how stuff works
There is absolutely no guide explaining stuff in this game bruh

[barren sparrow]

Haven't visited their server, and tbh i rarely visit other servers than NMS or LNF. I tried chatting in some but idk, didn't feel the same way it feels here. Maybe we are some outlier idk

[wraith horizon]

Like legit this server is a rare combination of active and chill
Cuz most servers are active but toxic
Active but ignore most newcomers
Or chill but dead

[steel grail]

I think most ppl just disregard the fact that online communication is still communication. And this server has the ppl who don't disregard that, maybe? xD

[barren sparrow]

Anyhow

Started Ghost of Tsushima recently

[steel grail]

Amazing game. One of my fav

Honestly only games I can think of which revolve around story telling but also provide engaging combat is Ghost of Tsushima, Witcher 3 and RDR2

[wraith horizon]

Casually starting peak
Respect

[wraith horizon]

Exp33?

[steel grail]

I have not played that yet but now its on my list

[wraith horizon]

Put it near the top of that list

[steel grail]

I sure will. With that my backlog should be around 77 games 😭

[wraith horizon]

Holy bruh
Wwm discord is chopped
I asked a question and aint no one replying

[barren sparrow]

ughrgh, Seems like screenshots taken with game's photo mode don't save so I lost some. Fortunately NMS taught me to not trust in-game photo modes so I managed to save some

This was such a cool shot but it has UI

[verbal plume]

why is this random enemy harder than the dancer

like wtf

i actually cannot beat it

[steel grail]

Which one

[charred badge]

Seriously, NMS has become one of like 3 home servers

[split ridge]

This server is honestly one of my all time favorites. I'm only active in several servers currently and this is one of them.

[tranquil glen]

noice

[verbal plume]

random emote got me killed

[verbal plume]

i got him btw

the claymore did it

[steel grail]

LMAO yeah I don't think i ever fought one of those knights in a proper sword fight

I've always cheesed them with ranged because yeah too much effort for a random mob

[wraith horizon]

Is it even worth playing wwm atp cuz their community is weird and their discord is dogshit
I got like no help and most yt videos just glaze the umbrella for some reason

[idle saffron]

what's WWM

[wraith horizon]

Where winds meet

The f2p elden myth wukong souls of tsushima impact

[idle saffron]

[wraith horizon]

Good game with dogshit guides and a cringe community

Cringe as in they dont communicate
At all-
And glaze the umbrella

[idle saffron]

I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good

[wraith horizon]

I got some gameplay and mechanics doubts

Generally with similar gacha games people make guides and draw parallels,
Which mechanics are familiar like premium currency , farmable currency

And which are new like the sects in this game
I try to see some beginner guide
Umbrella glaze ( its an early game weapon which people say i should get but dont say how to build or use it )

And the discord is people spamming nonsense and someone replying to you is extremely rare
Imagine the marvel rivals discord
It can be accredited to the fact that the discord is huge but so is the warframe discord and this server
The community is weird basically

Wall of text alert ⬆️

[idle saffron]

Doesn't sound like it will last

[wraith horizon]

Its a shame too
The game is nice with some good souls like bosses for a f2p title
Hopefully a secondary non-official discord is formed quickly cuz the official discord is a mess

Also they got a 1 min 30 second cd on main chat

Pain

[idle saffron]

That stinks, I hope they get their act together - it sounds like you see the potential

[wraith horizon]

Good games are rare
This has the potential to be great

They better gg ( make their game good ) otherwise its gg (good game) for them

[wraith horizon]

Yoo that was fire 🔥

[austere lance]

All I play these days is Arc Raiders, lol

[mental rose]

Is it true there's a ridiculously expensive ship (mount) in there? It apparently costs 40k USD if you could directly buy it.

Mfs competing with Star Citizen.

[wraith horizon]

It exists yes
I didnt see it myself cuz im fairly new and im mainly focusing on single player rn

But it exists and one person has bought it

[mental rose]

Oh wow... 😄

[wraith horizon]

Also gender changing costs 30 usd
Straight up no alternative
Considering the character creation possibilities
Thats a shit system

[mental rose]

30 USD?? Holy...

I've heard of MMOs charging for re-customizing your character, but not by that much

[edgy viper]

Gatcha game at its finest

[wraith horizon]

I got absolutely no clue how to get the gacha currency f2p
Thankfully its just cosmetics and the free in game cosmetics aint that bad

The combat is fairly challenging and nice
Too bad the minor things are absolute dogwater

[steel grail]

So what are u guys planning on buying(or already bought) on steam sale

[hot sluice]

warhammer chainsword lol lmao

[obtuse reef]

I’m excited for that minigun

I am heavy weapons guy

[inland oasis]

you have no idea how bad i want that shit

been begging for it for how long lol

[obtuse reef]

Time to enter a fugue state until Dec. 2nd

[inland oasis]

and they said it couldnt be done cuz a backpack + gun stratagem cant be coded.

yet the madlads did it

[obtuse reef]

The armor passive looks pretty useful too

[inland oasis]

And the pushup emote xD

fire rovers gonna be a nightmare in a good way xD

[hot sluice]

allegedly

105 damage for the assault rifle, light pen on it and the grenades, nades are the same ones as the ones fired by the gl32 or w/e its called

ar-61 tenderizer style rounds for the rifle mode

medium pen minigun and its called the maxigun

ap2 for the ar

You can in theory go with a tri melee setup

Constitution with its bayonet, a melee secondary and the defoliation tool or w/e its called

I'll never get the hate for light pen genuinely

[tranquil glen]

I use eruptor which is heavy pen explosive rounds, if i buy it imma be gunning for the minigun bc i wana test some shit

[hot sluice]

I already have a loadout idea

Smallwart (liberator carbine) + redeemer + maxigun

Honestly the eruptor should lose 1 mag, its kind of absurd to get 6 mags base with that weapon

Heavy pen on a primary is already pushing it into strategem style territory

[obtuse reef]

The hot dog

[obtuse reef]

Also, the smallwart is the Knight (premium edition SMG)

[tranquil glen]

Its not enough ammo at times imo

Agreed its ammo should be adjusted but have the ammo per mag increased and overall decreased would be better imo

[obtuse reef]

My supply pack is practically glued to my back purely because every weapon I use never has enough ammo

[tranquil glen]

eruptor = six shots to empty mag

[mental rose]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-heavy-my-honest-reaction-gif-8870827506935116922

[obtuse reef]

The halo AR is my favorite gun, and it has dogshit ammo economy. Same with the knight and the halo shotgun

[tranquil glen]

Ive also rarely used other secondaries when i found med pen revolver

That shit gas batman

[obtuse reef]

I like melee weapons

The machete is the best for bots, saber is the best for bugs and squids

[tranquil glen]

I dont 😂 and recently i been back to recoilless as my tertiary

[obtuse reef]

I run like the same loadout for everything, with a little variation

Halo AR is better than the coyote and you cannot convince me otherwise

[tranquil glen]

I don’t like the halo AR period

i think my default loadout recently has been mech, recoiless, eruptor revolver, impact nades, a autocanon sentry (or autocannon emplacement) and the railcannon shot

[mental rose]

You know what.
If they ever make a warbond based on Alien, I might just start playing it myself as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5dF7cM4_Wo

🤤

[obtuse reef]

I actually kinda dislike the eruptor and the recoilless. I like support weapons that don’t require a backpack, although that might change with the new minigun

[inland oasis]

im curious if itll be a weapon stratagem or backpack one

i imagine backpack

[tranquil glen]

see i would say the same, but from what ik it more damage than the X10 which is 4 inbuilt shots but thats it before another call down necessary

but its damn qiuick reload call down

[obtuse reef]

It’s gonna be both

[obtuse reef]

I honestly prefer the EAT, and if I have to use a launcher with a backpack the air burst is just better imo

[tranquil glen]

fair, ive yet to fully grasp airburst

what the heck is exploration tool ngl

[mental rose]

"Defoliation tool"
Is that a fricking chainsaw??

[tranquil glen]

oh i read exploration 🤣

[inland oasis]

chainsword :3

[tranquil glen]

yea it does like WH chainsword

[tranquil glen]

kinda makes sense that divers cant one hand it

[inland oasis]

it is if u remove the carry handle lmao

[tranquil glen]

oh

[inland oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/40k-commissar-chainsword-gif-19397214

[tranquil glen]

was expecting "yea cause they lack marine bodymass"

[inland oasis]

nearly identical aside for that part

[tranquil glen]

i wodner how quick itll melt ground vehicles for bots

[inland oasis]

i always have issues with retaliation when i try melee. anytime im within range to hit even a single enemy chances are they hit me first, or from just as far away

or its a even trade hit for hit

[mental rose]

The helmet has a red bandana around it...

[inland oasis]

i like it and find it fun but not worth how much dmg i end up taking just to do so

[mental rose]

Boys, we're going to Catachan with this one. 😄

[tranquil glen]

can we finally hold the cold planet on the bot front?

[inland oasis]

i love that left ones mask

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-stonk-hold-wallace-hold-braveheart-stonks-gif-20142609

[inland oasis]

imagine if they make it to where if your firing the minigun, wearing light armor, it slightly pushes you backward, with medium, you cant walk forward while firing, and with heavy, you can fully move like a juggernaught asa form of balance

[inland oasis]

personally i been rockin the AR-61 Tenderizer. only thing the ma5C does better on it is being med pen and barely firing faster. to me balances out

[obtuse reef]

The MA5C honestly just feels better

It’s the only AR in the game that feels like it has any actual weight to it

[inland oasis]

my audio mods kinda fix that

ma5c sounds weak in comparison to me

[obtuse reef]

The medium pen means it shreds just about anything, the recoil isn’t bad if you crouch, reload time isn’t abysmal relative to how few shots it takes to put most things down, and it’s just cool

[inland oasis]

ill have to get more used to it

[obtuse reef]

I also really like how well it works on all fronts

[inland oasis]

being med pen is essential for bots imo

[tranquil glen]

question, what is stalwart pen?

light, or med

[inland oasis]

light

[tranquil glen]

and it still shreds med enemies 🤣

[inland oasis]

think the other goes to med?

stally is great for fire rate 😄

[obtuse reef]

Stalwart is good for putting out a comical amount of bullets in a comically short amount of time

[tranquil glen]

me : turns up to 1150 rpm
game : a beam of bullets

[inland oasis]

yessssss

now imagine that like x2 with the minigun

[obtuse reef]

The knight is another one of my personal favorites purely because it is just the stalwart at home

I hate how awful the ammo economy is on it, though. Same with the scorcher

[tranquil glen]

i used to run stalwart, eruptor and revolver bc that was awhile ago before moving up on diff, like covered all pen types

[obtuse reef]

The scorcher is a genuinely good weapon, it’s just it runs out of ammo after like half a minute of fighting

[tranquil glen]

when i first used scorcher i thought it was r6 medic gun

sorry teamates

[obtuse reef]

I just want a break action shotgun primary

[tranquil glen]

me when theres decent shotguns that spawn in mission

[obtuse reef]

I don’t care if it’s the most abysmal dogshit in the game, I’d use that and nothing but that

[inland oasis]

now that theyre getting into underbarrel stuff, id love to see a masterkey underbarrel shotgun assault rifle sometime

[obtuse reef]

Underbarrel Ultimatum

[inland oasis]

LMAO

[obtuse reef]

Or do like a rifle grenade thing, just stuff it down the barrel and pull the trigger

[tranquil glen]

what if

helldivers, but

elden ring

the last diver on a planet, becomes that of a souls-like

something like cyberstan or smthn

[inland oasis]

purty planet

[mental rose]

Imagine if they added something similar to the Doomstick (yes, that's what it's called) into Helldivers.

[obtuse reef]

That’d be awesome

There’s already a sawed-off triple barrel secondary

[inland oasis]

The variable but in shotgun form lmao

[tranquil glen]

what about the doom 2020 shotgun that just rotates

[mental rose]

A rotary shotgun... now that's just diabolical. 😄 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AUlTGeJ3uO4

[tranquil glen]

tbf i love shotguns, especially ones i dont have to round reload except if they do porportionally high damage, the current ones hd2 have that are rounds i dont feel do enough dmg

or just fuck me over

also guys, i finally got a ultimate weapon in first descendant

like a warframe prime weapon but not

i should play theif ngl

thief*

[steel grail]

I cant remember the name of the game but it was back during 2010s-14s that I played a game and the shotgun in it made me fall in love with shotguns in games

Stg haven't had that feeling ever since. Every game in which I try shotgun feels a bit off

Doom 2016's shotgun came pretty close tho

[obtuse reef]

I recall the first time I used the shotgun in Trepang. I point-blanked some poor Horizon bastard and the only thing that survived were his lungs and I think his liver

[tranquil glen]

ever since pvz gw and black ops 3 mp, ive loved shotguns, even to the point of sometimes being able to get snipe shots with slug rounds

[obtuse reef]

Ready or Not also had a few pretty good shotguns

[steel grail]

THIS! The original of this game

Was it swat

Or something similar

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, it was like SWAT 4 or something

[tranquil glen]

ive only seen a few videos of Ready Or Not, and one of them was just like 5 guys using flashbang grenade launchers

[mental rose]

Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Hardcore server - pump shotgun with slugs.
No bullet drop, and would one-hit-kill at ANY range.

Good times

And hilarious. 😄

[tranquil glen]

damn

[mental rose]

You were stuck with ironsights tho. Had to eyeball every snipe shot

the yacht map, is genuinely like photorealistic sometimes. At least, the skybox is that’s forsure. They even got the twinkling plane lights AND they actively moved

I made my team do the work while I took a vacation

[tranquil glen]

photorealistic Go BANK 🤣

so glad you got the payday reference

and ngl tat boat looks like bo2 boat map ngl just a lil bit

[inland oasis]

I can see it lol

I suppose alot of yachts would tend to have similar layouts

Excluding any customizations

[tranquil glen]

so im playing bo3 right

campaign gives me the original "Call of Duty" Armor, which is like ww2 fatiques

but bo3 is set the farthest in future for the entire series

twice in a row

lmao

is this even fair

im not even gonna torture myself with this

[steel grail]

If u want I can join u for this

I love this fight

[austere lance]

If you heavy attack its head like twice you'll break its stamina and be able to do an execution that'll take out almost all its health

The dragon has very little poise

Oh

I can join if its pc

Damn yea

[austere lance]

Honestly just watch and learn its moves, you'll figure out pretty quick how to wreck it. The dragon isn't the hard part of the fight, LMAO

[steel grail]

That is true. Dragon goes down fairly easily. U just have to make sure u are always in front of the head and not near the feet

Its the same thing with midir as well

[verbal plume]

i can actually beat the dragon, but im low on estus every time lol

its the fire, i always get hit at least once

[austere lance]

Running away from the dragon when it's on its bullshit works surprisingly well, lol. You can bait it into different moves

You'll see

[verbal plume]

is magic effective? might switch up to the moonlight greatsword

[austere lance]

You're gonna be speedrunning the dragon pretty quick

[verbal plume]

whatever its called in ds3

[steel grail]

Dragon is weak to lightning but the NK is not

[austere lance]

Idk, I beat everything in DS3 using sword and board

[verbal plume]

claymore and profaned greatsword for me

id switch to the claymore if the enemy is fast

[austere lance]

I'm boring like that, lol. I wore medium armor, I used Dark Sword, and a medium shield

And I beat every damn boss in that game+DLCs, cuz fuck em

[inland oasis]

looks like Lemoyne from RDR2

[hot sluice]

You have 6 mags on a heavy pen primary with a flak mode though

[hot sluice]

nah smallwart is the lib carbine since its better to control than the knight

[hot sluice]

Do you mean heavy pen revolver?

[finite hazel]

you nailed it

[hot sluice]

The ammo econ of the ma5c and the shotgun are not bad imo, the shotgun having the ammo count it does it because of its extremely high damage and the ma5c is a medium pen rifle

[inland oasis]

that map is known better by me than my own hometown 😄

[hot sluice]

Medium pen weapons usually have worse econ than light pen for balance logic

[hot sluice]

effectively yes

It goes from medium to heavy pen which is pretty nuts

[hot sluice]

You'll love the one-two if you enjoy the tenderizer, they both fire the same 8mm round i believe

[hot sluice]

stalwart is light pen but it has massive dps because of the incredible rof

[hot sluice]

None zero chance we get one, the super store weapon IS a shotgun apparently

[inland oasis]

they said we wouldnt get a minigun before too

[hot sluice]

I've seeom some folk complain about light pen and I've never truly understood it genuinely

Light pen is genuinely not bad

I do think they should tweak weapons a bit more like hard hitting the sway on secondaries and reducing the drag a bit on em

[hot sluice]

If they buff adreno defib so it doesn't kill your movement speed you can do a last stand with a minigun and experimental stim infusion

They won't do it but adreno defib not having the bleed and instead being a 100% version of democracy protects with the downside of an ability to be stimmed in any way would be cool

[inland oasis]

with AH being pretty known for weapons being functionally accurate, i wonder if theyll implement the tracer every 5-6 rounds for the minigun 😄

since i highly doubt we can ADS with it

[wraith horizon]

I seriously wanna continue with wwm but it continues to have minor inconveniences

Breakable gear in a game with near souls like bosses

[tranquil glen]

Me when i dont post constantly on read it

[tranquil glen]

So, as of last night, and a little of this morning i kinda wanted to start a new save on oldrim (basic skyrim non SE), specificcally targeting 100%, and to do so I need the dlc, but due to all 4 being delisted and only available via links (which i found via reddit), I added them to my cart on site, then via steam app paid for them and downloaded to my external ssd.. the price of the total DLC was $45

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-gif-21515479

[barren sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/remember-that-remember-batman-bad-guy-i-will-remember-that-gif-11943514

That reminded me of something

I made a bet with someone

long time ago

And deadline is 9th February 2027

They said that Guilliman will take over the Imperium and usurp the Big E as the new Emperor, I told them they are wrong

[steel grail]

Is there any big difference between skyrim se and oldrim in terms of content? Because i did the 100% for skyrim se and man! It was more arduous than any other games including ds1 and ds3

[tranquil glen]

Better graphics in SE, and so much more mod support, and the base dlc comes inherently

Well aside from anniversary

[steel grail]

Ahh!

[tranquil glen]

The only difference between se and oldrim themself is se inherently comes with the 3 official dlc, and current unlisted $45 USD for oldrim dlc

Same dlc one is inherent one is sold separately

[quaint escarp]

theres oldrim se and ae

[tranquil glen]

Wdym oldrim se and ae? Oldrim is specifically original skyrim without dlc at all
Afaik ae and se are just addons to that

There is no oldrim se or ae afaik

[tranquil glen]

se afaik stands for Special Edition, which by definition is not considered oldrim as stated above, and ae is Anniversary edition which is just the dlc for Special Edition. the only thing that exists for oldrim is Oldrim LE which is Legendary which from what ive researched just means u own for the base game skyrim itself (NOT SPECIAL), the dlc that exists for skyrim (dragonborn, dawnguard, and hearthfire

[tranquil glen]

gonna explain yourself?

[quaint escarp]

those are the big milestones of skyrim? its like minecraft versions mods made for each are incompatible

i perm keep mine on the special edition

even if i dont own anniversary edition if i let steam update automatically i would break my game if it updated

idk what u mean they are just dlc lol there was updates during the release

updates rhat broke stuff

theres the 3 biggest versions of skyrim that ppl mod for

le, se, and ae

[tranquil glen]

yes but none are named oldrim se, oldrim le, ae etc.. thats what confused me, oldrim is basic skyrim in its rawest form without the additional version mods

special ed is skyrim se or sse I want to say, and anniversary ive never heard had a shorthand till now, le iirc was just the se before se was se

[quaint escarp]

le, se, and ae has been a shorthand thing for a while now idk where u have been. the timeline goes from le to sse or se to ae

oldrim isnt just a raw skyrim tho

oldrim is basically another game

unless im wrong is oldrim not the legendary edition?

oldrim is the 32 bit version of the game and installs separately

u cant have oldrim se

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/gta-v/clips/lAMHM12E0zjfNUSCS?invite=cr-MSxOQTksMTY4MzE4NDcx&v=60

When you change the station n reaaaallly start to feel the groove XD 😄

[tranquil glen]

I know theyve been a thing for awhile now, but no one states “oh yea I play oldrim se” when se afaik is explicitly the 64bit version from 2015 or so, and oldrim is the original 32bit 2011 version. And from what i researched legendary edition is just oldrim with the mod bundle, not entirely sure though

[inland oasis]

isnt that what they said lol

[tranquil glen]

Yea whicu contradicted what they said prior LOL

Least a little

[quaint escarp]

i never said oldrim se i just forgot commas lol

i meant theres oldrim, se, and ae

[mental rose]

Noooo... 😩 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1_Dds8btN8Y

[tranquil glen]

Right here you said oldrim se, and there are only two separate games, oldrim and se, yea i see now you missed punctuation . ae and le were just dlc packs for the games ae > se and le for oldrim i think

[quaint escarp]

they werent only dlc packs tho

it came with updates u could not opt out of

for ae at least

thats why i downgraded my skyrim game

[tranquil glen]

anniversary afaik is not update unless you buy it, special edition is literally the game itself with the dlc from what i can tell not an "update", not sure about legendary Ive barely heard that used

[quaint escarp]

it is they force the free mods on u

i never bought ae

it still updates

i have to do a bunch of bs so it wont update

and break all of my mods

[tranquil glen]

i mean yea that is the only difference between the two, but again only if you buy it, which doesnt make it its own game nor its own update otherwise you could classsify dragonborn and hearthfire as such as well

[quaint escarp]

it doesnt but the update is still referred to as ae or se

its like minecraft 1.20 and 1.12 etc

[tranquil glen]

until ae become its own release its still "dlc" to me whether its communal paid or not

[quaint escarp]

no one uses the actual version number

it gets referred to as le, sse, or ae

[tranquil glen]

yea I get that, but saying each is an update is utter shit when oldrim and sse are explicity separate full games, one being 32b and one being 64b

and i still dont know exactly what le is or which its attached to

[quaint escarp]

le is oldrim

legendary edition its the version right before special came out

[tranquil glen]

never heard it called that till our convo ngl

[quaint escarp]

thats its official name lol

[tranquil glen]

even the sse multiplayer mod still calls it oldrim

oh ok i see now.. as i said yesterday now confirmed it is just oldrim + dlc bundle

[quaint escarp]

found a better explaination

Skyrim is just Skyrim without the DLCs. No one really talks about Skyrim without DLCs anymore.

Skyrim Legendary Edition is Skyrim with all the DLCs. This is generally referred to as Skyrim LE or Oldrim.

Skyrim Special Edition is a remaster of Skyrim and all its DLCs. Most notably, it's a 64-bit .exe instead of Skyrim LE's 32-bit, so it can use more of your memory and will run much better for it. In general, graphics are just overall improved - higher res textures, improved shaders and lighting effects, etc. It's also much more stable than LE was. Also, Bethesda introduced the Creation Club with SE, allowing players to purchase paid mods.

This is where things get a little confusing.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition, sometimes referred to as Skyrim AE, is not a new version at all. Skyrim AE is Skyrim SE with the Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade "dlc" included, which gives you all of the Creation Club content that existed before November 11, 2021. It's just a bulk purchase of the Creation Club content before that date alongside Skyrim SE.

But the modding community had to complicate things. The above is how Steam defines the SE and AE in their store. The modding community gives Skyrim AE an entirely different meaning.

that last sentence is why i refer to that as the ae

[tranquil glen]

whats the difference then

[quaint escarp]

between?

[tranquil glen]

between steam category sys for ae and modding communtiy ae

[quaint escarp]

ae is dlc but the modding community uses ae as an update version

its still se but easier to locate when the ae update went live

its just giving the version number update a nickname

thats prob where ur confusion is at bc thats how i used ae in the context before

as the version and not just the dlc

[tranquil glen]

ah, ok

[quaint escarp]

the ae above still works without buying the ae dlc

thats where it differentiates

so thats where the confusion lies

[tranquil glen]

yea ok so technically i own oldrim (oldrim + 3 dlc, not LE), and SE + AE

[quaint escarp]

do u play with dlcs

[tranquil glen]

from what google ai is telling me there is no bundle anymore which originally classified as LE itself

[quaint escarp]

Skyrim is just Skyrim without the DLCs. No one really talks about Skyrim without DLCs anymore.

Skyrim Legendary Edition is Skyrim with all the DLCs. This is generally referred to as Skyrim LE or Oldrim.

[tranquil glen]

had to pay separately for each dlc

[quaint escarp]

oldrim = skyrim legendary edition

its google ai

[tranquil glen]

yea and im not spending hours trying to find the answer for "do I own LE if I didnt originally buy the LE bundle"

[quaint escarp]

u own le if u have all the dlc and installing it creates a seperate instance from special edition

[tranquil glen]

itd create a separate instance from sse whether or not i own all the dlc

cause its the 32b regardless if i own the dlc

[quaint escarp]

yeah without the dlc its just skyrim

no one refers to dlc-less skyrim much anymore the dlcs are pretty much integrated into the game and mods

[tranquil glen]

yea, the question i now have is it still LE if i didnt buy the game in bundle with the dlc or if buying them separately would still be considrered that even though its outright not

[quaint escarp]

so u have the old skyrim and the other dlc sold seperately right

and not as a bundle

[tranquil glen]

yes

[quaint escarp]

yeah then

[tranquil glen]

boutta check if the old skyrim atm has the legendary difficulty ngl cause then it outright would not

[quaint escarp]

it does

i only have to check the mod site for oldrim

[tranquil glen]

as youve said before though oldrim is just le though

which by itself defines it as having legendary difficulty

ok so it does, wonder if that came as raw patch to 32 regardless of bundling

[quaint escarp]

Skyrim, original base game.
Skyrim Legendary Edition, original base game + DLCs.
Skyrim Special Edition, remastered base game + DLCs + Creation Club access.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Skyrim Special Edition + Creation Club content prior to November, 2021.

so u have all the dlcs right

u would just treat it as le

or oldrim

[tranquil glen]

ah ok

[quaint escarp]

or anything pre special edition bc i do not believe anyone still maintains or updates for dlc less skyrim

unless ur some hardcore vanilla person

[tranquil glen]

wouldnt make sense to do so

[quaint escarp]

yeah

u would miss out on a lot of content and the dlcs are now basically considered part of the main game with how long its been

since u cant buy them seperately

[tranquil glen]

i tried to do modding for sse, and i was like wtf do i add.. but after i run the achievements for oldrim, like i probably will do the achievements for sse, and use ae and whatever mods may work with ae

[quaint escarp]

honestly dont see a reason to play oldrim over sse tho ngl

[tranquil glen]

achievement hunting

[quaint escarp]

on steam?

[tranquil glen]

yea

[quaint escarp]

u can just mod them in lol

[tranquil glen]

vanilla 32bit graphcs view

[quaint escarp]

but yeah i guess if u want to do it right

u can

[tranquil glen]

ik, I aint the person to cheat via SAM tho

[quaint escarp]

i havent even beaten skyrim anyway

[tranquil glen]

i have, story kkinda eh imo

[quaint escarp]

yeah

[tranquil glen]

still better than fo4

[quaint escarp]

when i start skyrim i usually end up doing dawnguard first

For modding, Skyrim SE is any Skyrim SE up to version 1.5.97. Skyrim AE is any Skyrim SE version 1.6.00 or later.

This is confusing because, if you have Skyrim SE but not the Anniversary Upgrade and it's fully up to date, you'll have version 1.6.00+, which modders will consider Skyrim AE. Many mods requiring "Skyrim AE" do not actually require the Creation Club content that the Anniversary Upgrade gives you, and many mods requiring "Skyrim SE" specifically require Skyrim SE version 1.5.97 and won't work properly if you've fully updated the game.

yeah i run 1.5.97

so i call it se

[tranquil glen]

the only reason i run ae, and ive yet to continue working the save lol

is for elemental blast

all 3 damage types in one spell blast

[quaint escarp]

magic doesnt hit the same for me

restoration and then i use bow

[tranquil glen]

🤣

[quaint escarp]

spell crafting shouldve been in the game

[tranquil glen]

aint there a mod for that

[quaint escarp]

bethesda is weird that for some reason they go backwards in areas whenever they make a new game

[tranquil glen]

true

but hey i have 72 achievements to go, 30 or so of which are dlc only

[quaint escarp]

there is

[tranquil glen]

which is why i got the dlc for base skyrim

to make it oldrim

[quaint escarp]

ive never been into achievement hunting unless it unlocks stuff in game

[tranquil glen]

fair ngl

[quaint escarp]

i only look at it if its one that not a lot of ppl unlocked

[tranquil glen]

Has anyone played disco elysium over here?

[steel grail]

I have but I never got to finishing it

[barren sparrow]

Yeah, but my playthrough kind of dissolved as I had little time when I played it. I still plan on playing it again.

Pretty neat game

[winter yew]

yeah it is
the narration in this game is so well done

my first playthrough
I was just so curious what am I? what I have to do I was enjoying so much
sadly died early game by kicking the dumpster

had to restart because my saved progress was over written by current one and lost that feeling of enjoyment

so waiting more years to forget this game

[finite shoal]

First time here. What about Elite dangerous, Is there a hope that it will be as good as this one?

[idle saffron]

No, it's doing its own thing

Strives for realism in mechanics

[finite shoal]

It is adding more and more new ship designs lately. And selling pre-build ships. That is not good for the game IMO.

[finite hazel]

hah, this is an interesting take on the genres 🥳

[finite hazel]

i have the game as well, and while i've not went far yet (i'm stuck atm lol), i dont really know if we always have the same start scenario? anyways, you mean your character? to me, it was ||a cop ranked detective who gets high and drunk like there's no tomorrow, loses both badge and gun, and has a murder to solve||

i love that game

😄

[idle saffron]

The pre builds are just shortcuts for people, they aren't unique

[tranquil glen]

anyone else like tarkov/arc? I found on thats 2d top down

[finite shoal]

Yea but it's very tempting to buy one. I really thought that Elite Dangerous would be my "game forever", but after they started to make more and more new ship designs, and care much less about bug fixes and game mechanics, I just not playing it now. (and I play NMS 😄 ). I still hope that ED will be THE game for those who like space games...

Skyrim, a word of skys and rims

I mean. Skies..

Allow me to crash out once more( the last time )

Wwm is kinda fun , im getting to the point where i now understand stuff in the game and how the game works and i kinda like it
Cool concepts with near ghost of tsushima level of beauty
I like it

Too bad i was timed out for 3 hours on their discord for asking the same question in 2 different chats by copy and pasting the question once in each chat

[muted cairn]

I've played the first one, but not the second one

[winter yew]

I see

I came accross th- OMG GABEN?

[muted cairn]

Huh?

[winter yew]

came accross this game through insta because I follow nms and getting videos on star citizen

and more space related stuff

[muted cairn]

Was this supposed to mean something?

[winter yew]

I was typing and read your name Gabe and I thought of Gabe Newell ceo of valve and just felt like tpying in the middle of convo

80% off

[tranquil glen]

Does kingdom come have magick tho

Can you use exploits to have a million health and damage output?

Ngl probably the latter, pretty much all games have an exploit to break it completely

[supple glen]

No to both
Infact Kingdom come has a hardcore mode where you give yourself debuffs like bleeding more

The combat though 👨🏽‍🍳

[tranquil glen]

Alright, imma see rq about the exploits tho

Ok so kingdom 2 does have one or more

https://youtu.be/rI6FxGJwnlQ?si=ZoRs_qCBUIRTRq9H

[supple glen]

I don't really like the sequel lol
Guns crossbows come on bruh I kickstarted a simulator

Crossbows are valid I just included them because less effort than bows

[tranquil glen]

Were they crude hand cannons or more modernized musket like weaponry tho

[supple glen]

Wow this user wasn't using hardcore mode
Shame

[tranquil glen]

Wow this user is using what appears to be a hand canon after shaming the game for having it

[supple glen]

I listed two things I didn't like in the sequel then narrowed my annoyance down to the guns, that make the game easier correct

The ubisoft style throw rock to make stealth sections easier is annoying too lol

[tranquil glen]

Hand cannons still count as guns

[supple glen]

Hand cannons are more of a fire lance successor but that's neither here nor there

[tranquil glen]

Hand canons are still guns, regardless of what successor they were, as they did become the “grandfather” of modern guns today

[supple glen]

No disagreement here I already said it's neither here nor there

I still dislike guns being added as one of the ways kcd2 was made more casual

[tranquil glen]

Because it was accurate to the time? Ok

[supple glen]

i didn't even try to hide the fact I dislike the more casual systems of the sequel wym lol

[tranquil glen]

Syndicate has a whistle function instead, but agreed for those that u can even throw a rock for

[supple glen]

Far cry games are rock yeah

[tranquil glen]

If kcd was to be set time accurate both are able to have hand canons

If you want something that isnt ranges chose a game set before bows

[supple glen]

I think there's been a miscommunication

I'm against the sequel being made more casual/easier

The three things I listed crossbows guns rock throwing feed into that

[tranquil glen]

That is what most sequels do

[supple glen]

Sadly, I'm a Kickstarter supporter of the og I still have the alpha aha

[tranquil glen]

Half life and halo both cut down on difficulty in their second game

[supple glen]

If you got 6$ good game tho

[austere lance]

Halo 2 Jackal snipers on Legendary intensify

[tranquil glen]

That is specifically legendary tho i mean enemy count specifically

[austere lance]

https://tenor.com/view/elrond-i-was-there-gif-10950832

[tranquil glen]

Which i assume are still artificially inflated on higher difficulty but not what i mean

[austere lance]

Nah, enemy count is same but they're way more aggressive and do more damage

God help you if a bug swarm caught you out in the open on Legendary 😭

[tranquil glen]

Huh interesting why is it some games just have ammo sponge canons and some just have 2x3x4>16x enemies

And some games do both

[austere lance]

To be fair, in Halo they're not really ammo sponges on harder difficulties cuz plasma weapons exist. You just have to rely on basic game mechanics more instead of "Shoot everything with whatever"

[tranquil glen]

Me when i just ammo dump cheated the last 2 chapters of h3

Sorry not ammo, grenade dumped

[austere lance]

Like yeah, bullets are less effective against shields on Heroic or Legendary. But plasma weapons still drop shields quick, then it just takes one headshot to win

Halo has always had the rule of "Plasma for shields, bullets for bodies"

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/imback-hey-terminator-gatling-gun-gif-13262475

Fuck you flood, die in a black hole

[supple glen]

Gears of war comes to mind for the worst wtf was that difference in hardest difficultys

Astronomical difference between 2&3

[austere lance]

The only outlier is the Flood, which require precision shots on the infection form sticking out of their chest in H2 onwards

If you know where to aim on each Flood type it only takes one bullet/burst

[prime pivot]

[tranquil glen]

I just cheated infinite no reload grenade launcher

[prime pivot]

A well placed grenade does wonders

[tranquil glen]

Indeed

[prime pivot]

I played tag with plasma

[austere lance]

Frags>most Flood forms
Plasma grenades for big ones, like Pure Forms in H3

[prime pivot]

[tranquil glen]

Ngl the furry covenant nade guns i really like hsing

[prime pivot]

Grunts with grenades are good option as well

[tranquil glen]

And i kinda dislike UMC guns because most lack punch, which just means no ammo cause poor accuracy and less time till death

[prime pivot]

A well timed head shot does wonders

[prime pivot]

The sniper rifle would like to have a chat

[tranquil glen]

I died probably 10+ times ON NORMAL, of first level in halo

[tranquil glen]

I did literally say most lack not all most

[austere lance]

I am unfortunately old and have been playing Halo and reading the books for 24 years, I could probably walk a blind person through the first four games now 🤣

[prime pivot]

Fair

[tranquil glen]

Honestly dual weild smgs i love bc mag dumping

[prime pivot]

Played the games, didn't really get into the books

[tranquil glen]

And gad damn spartan has shit fuckin health

[prime pivot]

[tranquil glen]

Yes master chef imo shit health

Even separate hp vs shield would be nice even if both were 1

I just want shield gatin

[prime pivot]

Surprise attack was a good option

[tranquil glen]

Cept when most rooms are gunz blazing and then auto target chef when he enters no matter what

[austere lance]

Did you follow the "Plasma for shields, bullets for health" rule?
(Magnum works for shields and health, lol)

[prime pivot]

I did

[austere lance]

Assault rifle is a trap, don't touch it

[tranquil glen]

No i went in blind like an OG would have when they started

[prime pivot]

Not if you use it correctly

[austere lance]

AR vs shields is death

[tranquil glen]

There are few games I like burst, modtly hate burst guns, but halo does decently enough for damage its aight

And has scope

[prime pivot]

Grenade is king

[tranquil glen]

Grenade spam*

https://tenor.com/view/the-terminator-grenade-launcher-shooting-movie-gif-25156735

Me at the end of h3

But no really most umc has unique traits that the blind would not know going in

Like magnum to the blind its shit, to the initiated its really fuckin good

And like sniper, imo magnum suffers lack of ammo with high damage, in opposition to the actual decent weapons of umc

and no im not learning to use magnum i dont care enough bout halo to do so

Iirc unistalled after first three

Cause idc, i mean from what i hear they the only good ones so

Whys it matter

[onyx mulch]

guys, something tells me this war wasn't worth it

ODST was dark in a good way

@austere lance I watched the last Samurai on Netflix. They set it up for another season
