[winter yew]

🤦

[cinder vessel]

you just know they had that on hand for wrapping things up

which then demonstrates hey guess what dat's a lie

[low wedge]

omg God of War is sooooooooooo good

[meager panther]

Why does he say he doesn't condone

Wtf

Isn't he supposed to say he condones them

[winter yew]

🤔

GOOD point.

[fallen notch]

?

[winter yew]

Condone means you don't agree with it so he just cancelled it out by saying he doesn't condone meaning he's ok with it.

[austere lance]

No, not condoning something means you don't like it

[winter yew]

I hate English.

[winter yew]

Ahhhh

We was wrong gamer.

[austere lance]

Lol

[winter yew]

Mostly you was wrong.

But we was wrong

[austere lance]

English has no logic

[winter yew]

I condone that sentence.

Am I did it good?

[austere lance]

Did you just say my sentence is offensive 😂

[winter yew]

😐

Maybe

I don't know at this point.

[meager panther]

Wtf

My English is bad then

Oh well

Learn New stuff every day

[winter yew]

Yeah but you're not English so I guess you can be excused.

Me, I got no excuse.

[meager panther]

Yes

[winter yew]

Lmao

I genuinely believed condone to mean the same way that you did.

[austere lance]

Lol

[winter yew]

I'm 30 years old and just learned I'm wrong.

🤷

[fallen notch]

[light cairn]

well that's unfortunate

[winter yew]

I agree but I'm glad I learned it now instead of when I was 40 cause I'd look more stupid.

[cinder vessel]

I constantly look at dictionaries when using/reading words i'm not entirely sure of because of what a mess language is

And then, then it turns out there's slang which tends to be mixed with some currents of pop culture or whatever and damn i'm lost

And even urbandictionary can't save me

[winter yew]

Hahaha it's so easy to do, English slang gets confusing cause some negative words mean good and some good words mean bad.

[light cairn]

not too bad vs not too good

[winter yew]

That is perfect example.

[jade lake]

english is goofy

[winter yew]

English is an overall negative language anyway.

"How you feeling?"
"Eh, so so."

[winter yew]

!!!!!

[reef storm]

YAS

Galar Region

[winter yew]

fire bunny

End of the year

I will bet anything right now that it will release with the new Switch revision.

Part of a bundle

[reef storm]

https://kotaku.com/nintendo-announces-pokemon-sword-and-shield-for-switch-1832926330

New starters

[rigid haven]

They look so similar

[brisk merlin]

can we stop making new pokemon now thanks

[bronze wind]

I like them

[brisk merlin]

make new games but stop with the new pokemon 😦

[bronze wind]

Nah

My only worry is the fire starter will be fire fighting again 😩

But I like grookey anyway

[brisk merlin]

fire speed type

[winter yew]

lol

I remember the meme about that fire pokemon from Sun/Moon

and then that spawned this https://66.media.tumblr.com/b4e874b994844d3cdc23052b926fe767/tumblr_inline_oemnei2A171qfo6ue_500.gif

[brisk merlin]

I really dislike this gif

[winter yew]

you are in a dislike mood today 😦

[bronze wind]

Funny gif

Imagine if the scorbunny goes on four legs and becomes fire psychic

[winter yew]

https://www.deviantart.com/jesgrad07/art/Fire-Bunny-Fakemon-Auction-438258615

[reef storm]

I like that design

[meager panther]

What is this

I have no clue

Are they new Pokemons?

[brisk merlin]

read

[reef storm]

@meager panther the stuff I posted is for the new game just announced

[reef storm]

lol

That sure as hell didn't take long lol

[winter yew]

😐

Whoever did this needs a job.

[meager panther]

Oh

So new Pokemon game?

[winter yew]

games*

[meager panther]

Three games?

[winter yew]

2 games

Shield and Sword

[meager panther]

The gun?

[winter yew]

Gun is a meme

[bronze wind]

Gun meme

[meager panther]

Oh lmao

[bronze wind]

Yeet

[meager panther]

Like how zoid memes of pp

I get it

[bronze wind]

pp time

These are the new starters

As Joe posted like 20 mins ago

[meager panther]

So they just make new pokemons for each game?

[bronze wind]

Each new region

[meager panther]

Don't they run out of pokemons

And powers

[bronze wind]

Then there are spinoffs based on that region

And nah they just add a bunch, some as objects with a ghost typing lol

[meager panther]

The sobble starter looks like it saw something it should not have seen

[bronze wind]

Maybe scorbunny secretly has a thicc ass

[sharp sedge]

I bet it's evolution does 😏

[bronze wind]

Grookeys gonna wield a giant log or tree stump, based on the trailer

He's got the lil stick

[reef storm]

heh

[bronze wind]

Or he'll be nimble and have a bo staff

[reef storm]

Sobble is my fav.

[bronze wind]

That'd be sick

I like them all but will wait to choose for sure once I see finals

[meager panther]

Any chance these games will eventually make it to pc?

[bronze wind]

Nah

Switch only

[willow crypt]

diglet was the greatest.

[neat yew]

Well if you count emulation, yes they will eventually make it to pc 😛

[austere lance]

https://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-game-studios-games/

[jade lake]

new Pokémon looks very

standard

[teal mason]

at least it ain't an ice cream cone

or some literal trash

[winter yew]

or a keychain

don't forget that one

[fluid hare]

I actually like the ice cream cones! It’s a pretty COOL idea, pardon the pun.

[bronze wind]

[gaunt hare]

Damn, I just realized that dark souls is obsessed with the sun and bloodborne is obsessed with the moon.

"praise the sun", final boss of dark souls 3 is under a sun that is tied to the first flame

In bloodborne you lift a curse to reveal the blood moon and the final boss is called The Moon Presence.

[rigid haven]

They're basically pokemon prequels

[gaunt hare]

Ya dark sun and dark moon

[cinder vessel]

Blind Sun, Beastly Moon

[gaunt hare]

Darksword and Bloodshield

Cause of the announcement today

[austere lance]

I hath finally gotten to ME 3 in my trilogy playthrough

My game glitched at the end of ME 2 and I lost a useless character but oh well

[full pivot]

Shepard dying in ME2 isn't a glitch

[austere lance]

Oof

Nah, I lost Miranda

[cinder vessel]

So, this sounds p. good:

[meager panther]

Wtf

But no star field trailer?

[winter yew]

Not gunna lie, that was a welcome surprise.

[meager panther]

Ikr

Wtf gmagain

[winter yew]

Very unexpected but very fine.

[bronze wind]

Starfield is even farther off

[meager panther]

Damn

Wait it's fake

[bronze wind]

I'm surprised you didn't realize that from watching it

[meager panther]

I was just going through the description

I think sound soul needs some spanking

[winter yew]

Hahaha

[bronze wind]

[meager panther]

@austere lance time to spank you

[austere lance]

LMAO

[meager panther]

I didn't know spanking makes you LMAO

[austere lance]

Y'all fell for that excellent trailer xD

[meager panther]

Yeah you got one spanking every week till Bethesda releases an actual trailer for it

[austere lance]

Nyet

You must watch that trailer every week instead

[meager panther]

No u

[willow crypt]

Wow elder scrolls 6 looks gorgeous!!

[austere lance]

Yep

[wild oyster]

that trailer looks it is a few decades old

[winter yew]

Limitations of Creation Engine.

[neat yew]

Been looking forward to this game for a few years, finally out today/tomorrow! http://www.gaming-age.com/2019/02/toejam-earl-back-in-the-groove-review-for-nintendo-switch-ps4-xbox-one-and-pc/

[austere lance]

I only played the 3D ToeJam and Earl on Xbox, it was funny 😄

[neat yew]

That's the only one I missed out on, it looked pretty fun

[cinder vessel]

oh damn that's out tomorrow? Sweet!

Thanks for the heads up @neat yew!

[neat yew]

No prob! 😄

[austere lance]

Damn, Republic Commando is free on Xbox rn 😍

[teal mason]

that trailer's so fake

gamebryo and its successor engines use magenta for missing textures

[willow crypt]

Metro Exodus gets at 9.8/10 from me

[reef storm]

Good to hear. Going to start the Metro series soon.

[willow crypt]

Nice, enjoy

[austere lance]

Do it, I recommend the Redux bundle @reef storm

[echo hill]

https://youtu.be/JMNJFpVxg4Q

[full pivot]

Wondering if its just me but Dark Souls on switch seems to have issues with input delay; maybe my joycons need replacing idk?

[jade lake]

my joycons were wack for a really long time

when i got new ones all of sudden it worked much better

kinda weird

[full pivot]

I should try that; my guy stood there for a good 2 seconds before my roll went out haha

Then it was too late

[winter yew]

Calm down with the tags my dude lol

[cinder vessel]

#implosion

[full pivot]

He thirsty

[willow crypt]

That's ridiculous

He should be ashamed of himself

[full pivot]

Also must use Instagram a lot

[willow crypt]

I guess it's okay for self promotion and growing a channel but this is overboard

[iron inlet]

Halo: Reach is the best halo game prove me wrong

[cinder vessel]

Halo is a series of games, change my mind

[idle saffron]

I picked up Anthem yesterday

And metro exodus

[winter yew]

I am very much looking forward to playing both.

Are you gunna be playing both at the same time or one first?

[idle saffron]

Talk about differently paced games

I'll check Anthem first I think, I played a bit of both though

[winter yew]

Nice nice, I'm aiming for around August time for Anthem.

Metro I got to wait for Steam release.

So, another year 😛

[idle saffron]

Ouch

It's very pretty, and very much paced like the other metro games

Anthem is also very pretty

And chaotic

[winter yew]

It looks nice, I just have a personal promise that I wait a few months for online games.

By then should be a good amount of content and bugs fixed.

[idle saffron]

🤞

I haven't hit any bugs as of yet, I'm sure they are around though

[winter yew]

Oh wow

[idle saffron]

Grabbits

[iron inlet]

Reeee

Halfway through Reach on Legendary, this game is easier than I remember

[idle saffron]

No, you are better than you were

[iron inlet]

.. shit

[idle saffron]

Really, a lot better

You were terrible

[winter yew]

😂

[iron inlet]

I don't doubt it, I was 10 after all

[idle saffron]

My 12 year old niece played fortnite for the first time last night

Brutally bad

[iron inlet]

Did she get the bread?

Oof

[idle saffron]

She got smashed

A lot

[iron inlet]

Ouch

[idle saffron]

Went from roblox to that

Lmao

[iron inlet]

PC or Console?

[idle saffron]

Console

She still doesn't use movement and camera at the same time

Video game noob

She will learn

[iron inlet]

Soon:TM:

™

There we go

[cinder vessel]

I don't know how to teach synchronous movement and camera adjustment to folks

It's just like second nature to me at this point in games

[iron inlet]

You just adapt it eventually I guess

[meager panther]

I still don't know how to do that either

[winter yew]

My GF plays the same way but she's genuinely good still.

[meager panther]

😩

[winter yew]

She sidesteps whilst shooting

[meager panther]

I can't score any kills in apex

[winter yew]

Oh

[meager panther]

I still am at that single kill from that time

[idle saffron]

Lol

[meager panther]

I have better chance of killing them by punching them on the supply ship

[cinder vessel]

FPS and online FPS are a different story, lol

[winter yew]

People who jump to the supply ship are the devil.

[cinder vessel]

But like against AI enemies & such, zero issue most of the time for me

[meager panther]

I think best way to get kills is loot the supply ship and kill others who land on it

😩

[iron inlet]

Gaming is the only instance where I can make my hands do two different things at once

[winter yew]

😏

[meager panther]

Oh

[iron inlet]

I can't do that for instruments at all

[idle saffron]

Lol

Skin flute

[iron inlet]

Like I cant play piano properly because I can't do chords

[meager panther]

Well one instrument you probably are good at

In one hand

[idle saffron]

Piano requires a foot as well

[meager panther]

Wat

[iron inlet]

Yeah

[winter yew]

Yep

[meager panther]

Why?

[iron inlet]

To hold notes

[meager panther]

I have no clue what it means

[iron inlet]

Use the foot pedal to hold a note

[meager panther]

Hmm

[idle saffron]

Soft pedal and sustain pedal

[meager panther]

I am good with melee weapons

Get the job done in one blow

[idle saffron]

Grand pianos have a third pedal

[cinder vessel]

wtf, look at them being all grand

[meager panther]

Yeah grand pa joe

[winter yew]

🤦

[meager panther]

Then grand pa gleam

[idle saffron]

😡

[meager panther]

[winter yew]

I hate them hyper emotis.

[meager panther]

😩

[winter yew]

!suggest

Remove all custom emotis

[meager panther]

You can't

Those are global emojis

[winter yew]

Actually, I think I can.

[meager panther]

[winter yew]

I'm pretty sure I saw a tick box in the server settings.

[meager panther]

Mod aboose

[winter yew]

My favourite type.

[winter yew]

Astroneer?

[idle saffron]

Aye

[winter yew]

Another game I look forward to playing.

I'll grab in Steam summer sale I think.

[cinder vessel]

This is a smart move:
https://www.pcgamer.com/space-engineers-leaves-early-access-and-is-free-to-play-for-the-next-three-days/

[idle saffron]

Nice

[winter yew]

Is it worth picking up?

[meager panther]

Meh

[cinder vessel]

but also, Toejam & Earl are Back in the Groove today!

[idle saffron]

Lol

[meager panther]

Space engineer looks kinda old

[cinder vessel]

I dunno Hex, so getting to try it is nice

[meager panther]

I played it about 6 months ago

[winter yew]

Well the video is showing gun assaults on other ships on space.

[meager panther]

Wasn't impressed

[winter yew]

And landing on asteroids.

[idle saffron]

It had a visual overhaul last month

[meager panther]

It gets boring real quick but since it's free probably give it a try

[winter yew]

Ok I'm picking it up.

That video is a solid.

[full pivot]

Ive always wanted to play space engineers with ppl

[idle saffron]

❤

[cinder vessel]

That always struck me as a better way to play it

[full pivot]

Space ship battles 😝

[winter yew]

😩

I guess I'm playing the free weekend.

[idle saffron]

Yes, you are

[meager panther]

No

He is on date tmw

[full pivot]

As a test once I hit a ship with a volley of 6 rockets and it perfectly disabled the power system and ripped off the nacelle

[meager panther]

Helicopter pick up

[iron inlet]

Reeeee Long Night of Solace is a hard mission

[meager panther]

I kind of built a real big garage with auto aim turrets

It started collapsing due to wait or something

Lol

[idle saffron]

Cool

[winter yew]

Lmao that's cool.

[meager panther]

The blocks started bending and stuff

Yeah

I kind of gave up playing it since the visuals we're really boring

[full pivot]

The last thing I did was building a huge drilling platform planetside trying to build a ship to get back to space

[idle saffron]

Can you drill through planets?

[full pivot]

Never tried actually

[meager panther]

Apex legends

[full pivot]

They're pretty big

[rigid haven]

I should actually play Space Engineers at some point

I've had it for ages

[full pivot]

I always thought it was cool

Gravity mechanics and oxygen and warp drive and all that

Sadly I'm working 12s all weekend

[rigid haven]

Aww

[idle saffron]

Here is an older screenshot (few months ago) name that game

[meager panther]

No.clue

[full pivot]

Hellblade?

[haughty rapids]

2020 no man's sky

.w.

[idle saffron]

Nope

Farcry 5

I'm going for a run, back in a bit

[cinder vessel]

was gonna say far cry 5 but too late 😩

[meager panther]

Is it a fps?

[cinder vessel]

Yeah. Any of ya kept up with Empyrion?

[rigid haven]

Empyrion? That's a new one

[meager panther]

It's even lamer than space engineer

[cinder vessel]

It's had less time in development

But yeah, Empyrion is basically another space survival craft'em up sorta game

[iron inlet]

Oh man, Long Night of Solace complete, what a long ass mission

Nailed it, beat the par score by 7 points

[winter yew]

God damn Nyx.

[iron inlet]

6/10 missions done, time for the 3 worst missions in Reach.

Actually nah, only 2

Exodus and New Alexandria are boring, The Package is pretty fun

[cinder vessel]

madlad

[iron inlet]

God I forgot how much Exodus actually sucks as a mission, especially on Legendary

[idle saffron]

You love it

[iron inlet]

I do but I hate it too

Finally finished it, only took 80 minutes

[idle saffron]

How many deaths?

[iron inlet]

Let's find out

47

[idle saffron]

Smooth

[iron inlet]

87 minutes 57 seconds

[idle saffron]

Hitman style

[iron inlet]

Got 10200 score, par was 10000 lol

[idle saffron]

Squeaking by counts

[iron inlet]

Now for truly the shittiest mission

New Alexandria

The whole thing is an escort mission

[idle saffron]

Yuck

[iron inlet]

Very yuck

I could always try to speedrun it but in the end I feel that gets more frustrating

[idle saffron]

Yeah, if you don't get it the first couple times it can be very annoying

[iron inlet]

New Alexandria done, not too bad

Only two missions left, and they're both classics. Woof

[fluid hare]

REACH?!

[iron inlet]

The best Halo game

[austere lance]

2>1>3>ODST>Reach>everything 343 made

[iron inlet]

You are objectively incorrect

[austere lance]

Not insulting Reach btw, I put a questionable amount of time into multiplayer 😂

And even more time into custom games

[iron inlet]

Reach > 2=3=ODST > CE > 4 > 5

I expect infinite to be between Reach and 2 in terms of quality

Fingers crossed

[austere lance]

Hopefully

"Light RPG mechanics" tho

$5 says it gives you Black Ops 2 quality choices in the campaign

Free shipping 😂

[iron inlet]

Lmao

[fluid hare]

I find 4 is harder than 1, 2, and 3.

[austere lance]

Totally worth it

4 gave you garbo weapons for the entire campaign, that's why 😄

[fluid hare]

Jury’s out on ODST, as I haven’t played it.

[austere lance]

ODST is hella good

[fluid hare]

Plaspistol is a bit buffed.

Just wish it had the charge mechanic of 2.

MCC is cheaper, @austere lance

[austere lance]

It's $5 on the MCC

[fluid hare]

All of that was easy mode, no skulls besides WBYD on one H2 play through for more terminals.

I just wanted to hear what they had to say.

Other than the difficulty of 4, I just wish that there was an option to use the Bungie models.

[modest zephyr]

Reach was hella good

[echo hill]

Reach is my favorite video game of all time

[meager panther]

https://i.redd.it/8qhhdulf7ij21.jpg

[brisk merlin]

?????

[meager panther]

Just a pic of kojima hideo

[iron inlet]

Alright! Finished Reach on Legendary, finally

[echo hill]

ayee nice

[iron inlet]

I feel like it was too easy though lmao

[echo hill]

its definitely one of the easier games

granted i could just be saying that cause i know the campaign like the back of my hand

[austere lance]

RIP Mordin 😭😭😭

[iron inlet]

I feel like I might be the same @echo hill because I remember reach being the hardest halo game

[echo hill]

fr dude, like im just running through it in my head rn lol

all the glitch spots and shit i used to find

easter eggs

man now i wanna play it again lol

[bronze wind]

[meager panther]

I am the one to the right

[jade lake]

😲

oshit

[meager panther]

He said he making a new game just for me

And also said fuck Konami

Apparently dude hates Konami

[jade lake]

lol

[meager panther]

He also said he prefers to be called hidima kodeo

[jade lake]

Not the first, won't be the last, but definitely the good

[cinder vessel]

Apex Ping

[rigid haven]

Aping Legends

[winter yew]

I mean, they are panicking.

48% revenue drop in a single month.

[echo hill]

i mean i can see why

[cinder vessel]

boot up Space Engineers, see tutorial is a bunch of links to...I dunno, not in the mood to sift through

[winter yew]

Eh, I sat through the first 2 campaign things to get the hang of it.

I think I'll wait a while till I purchase.

[cinder vessel]

I started the campaign hoping maybe it would guide me but it just told me to check the help menu which was just the links again

[rigid haven]

Yeah, I saw that

[cinder vessel]

And that may as well be learning by looking at the keymapping so i was like eh

[rigid haven]

It kinda sucks

I played through the campaign thing and saw my computer was getting HOT

Actually, what's a decent temp for a laptop?

[winter yew]

Anything below 99c.

[rigid haven]

It was around 73c which really doesn't sound too great

[cinder vessel]

Uhh, if you can feel it it's probably too hot

[rigid haven]

I felt it at the fan

It was pwwwwssshhh-ing hot air

[winter yew]

Damn

[echo hill]

most things will start throttling around 85c

[rigid haven]

Okay, good

[cinder vessel]

That's my rule of thumb with my laptop anyway, when the keyboard starts getting hot I know the fan's not kicking in properly and need to close & reopen for it, lol

[rigid haven]

I have this little thingy where I can check the temps which is neat

[echo hill]

me too 😄

[cinder vessel]

I could download something like that, but you just know with my laptop, which is unnerving but neat?

[echo hill]

you can use a software called NZXT CAM

thats what i use

it shows me GPU and CPU temps, as well as clock speed and usage.

fan speeds too

also shows ram usage and storage usage

[rigid haven]

Mine is just there

Rog Strix gaming centre

Epic

[echo hill]

noice

[cinder vessel]

but yeah i also noticed the performance is kind of all over the place with Space Engineers

One glance, smooth, another hey we're takin' it easy here don't mind the chuggin'

[winter yew]

Hahaha

I turned the grass density up to maximum.

[cinder vessel]

ono

[winter yew]

I turned the grass density back down.

[cinder vessel]

did your room turn into a lawn

[echo hill]

sounds like a song about grass density

[winter yew]

At least it's not that stupid little boxes song that's been stuck in my head all day.

[cinder vessel]

boxx

oboxx

bring back my blox

[winter yew]

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same.

There's a pink one and a green one and a blue one and yellow one.

[cinder vessel]

ofuckme these Space Engineer links are YouTube videos and just no

[winter yew]

OWAT

LMAO

Noooooooo

[cinder vessel]

I just, I suspected as much but I had to go back & check

[echo hill]

Oi fuck

It's friday

You know what that means?

[cinder vessel]

thank fuck it's Friday

[echo hill]

It means absolutely nothing cause my life is the same every day lmao

[winter yew]

😂

[austere lance]

Oof, seven day work week? 😬

I'd probably die tbh

[echo hill]

Nah

I just never leave the house besides work

[austere lance]

I feel that on a spiritual level

[echo hill]

And since I usually don't have anything to do at work, I do the same thing at work that I do at hime

Home

[austere lance]

How does one get paid to do nothing, sign me up 😄

[echo hill]

My entire life has become just me browsing Reddit lmao

i got lucky ig xD

tho tbh i dont recommend it

it's boring as fuck

i wish i had stuff to do

[willow crypt]

Read a book

[austere lance]

Netflix

If you're stuck at a computer all day Netflix is your friend

[winter yew]

Talk in #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[austere lance]

[winter yew]

YW

[austere lance]

Play flash games 😂

[willow crypt]

Read a game

[austere lance]

I miss flash games

[winter yew]

Newgrounds

[jade lake]

they didnt go anywhere

[winter yew]

Flash literally doesn't exist anymore.

[willow crypt]

Wikiwoo to

[jade lake]

cool math games

[winter yew]

Lmao cool math games holy crap.

[jade lake]

still reppin that

[willow crypt]

I remember scrolling down and getting excited about the adult section

[jade lake]

in what

[willow crypt]

I think newgrounds, or some other flash games website

[jade lake]

lmao

[echo hill]

my shit was Addicting Games

[jade lake]

super mario crossover

i still play it from time to time

genuinely really good

[willow crypt]

Oh man I loved addictinggames.com

[cinder vessel]

Learning to Survive in Space Engineers is lol misleading af

[winter yew]

I got so angry with that lmao.

I did all the tasks but one to do the h20 and o2 refil wouldn't do.

[cinder vessel]

I couldn't figure out how to even begin doing any of them

[winter yew]

Got to press the button on the control panel.

[cinder vessel]

I tried that and it appeared to do absolutely nothing, lol

[winter yew]

Oh hahaha

My personal view is that should still be early access.

It is not ready yet.

Still.

[cinder vessel]

Yeeahh

[winter yew]

I'm glad they did a free weekend though, the video I saw earlier had me sold.

Saved me a little bit of money.

[echo hill]

😭 😭

[cinder vessel]

👵

[echo hill]

bruh fr that hit me harder than i expected

[fallen notch]

Not played it, but from the reviews it looked a bit too sandboxy..

[jade lake]

space engineer?

[fallen notch]

Yeah

[brisk merlin]

the SP is very

very

slow

(sp survival i should say)

[fallen notch]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/824070/Objects_in_Space/ looked interesting... Out of early access, but still a load they want to add.

[cinder vessel]

Yeah have seen some talk of that, but haven't looked into the game itself enough yet to get a sense of whether I'd enjoy it. Cool concept tho

[cinder vessel]

New Toejam & Earl is fun

Annoying Earthlings are as annoying as ever, lol

[iron inlet]

Now that I know Pokémon Sword and Shield is set in England, I can't avoid getting a switch

Between Let's GO! Sword and Shield, BOTW, SSB, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Odyssey, DOOM, Link to the Past remake, Crash Bandicoot, Skyrim, DS: Remastered, Binding of Isaac, Shovel Knight, Octopath, I can't justify not getting one with "Well there's only 2 games I'll play"

[winter yew]

lol.

There's a handful of Switch-Exclusives I'll probably get.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxPlBdk4HXY this being one of them

[iron inlet]

It's 2010 all over again

dat links awakening remake doe

😳

[winter yew]

Ikr

I’m delaying getting a Switch at least until Pokémon Sword/Shield comes out. I am so bored of Sun/Moon lately.

I’m not sure how I feel about the look of Link’s Awakening but I would like to play it

I love the top-down Zelda games

Can’t say I ever really got into the 3D ones, hell I am not very enchanted with Ocarina of Time at all

[willow crypt]

Reminds me of Tunic https://youtu.be/6zi5RhDPPvI

[winter yew]

Oh my god I want that game so bad

I have this one but it’s not quite the same https://youtu.be/KLw6KPWCh2E

On pc though

[willow crypt]

Interesting artstyle, 2D characters on a 3D(ish) map

[winter yew]

Yeaaa

I think it was a smartphone game at first then they released it to other platforms

[willow crypt]

ah

[cinder vessel]

wait @iron inlet you meant Link's Awakening remake yeah?

[bronze wind]

probably yeah

[cinder vessel]

yeah probables

[full pivot]

gonna check out a really "old" game i guess; NWN2

[cinder vessel]

@winter yew it only took a few restarts but i finally got Space Engineer's Learn to Survive tutorial to start properly, lol

[brisk merlin]

huh?

[jade lake]

huh?

[bronze wind]

huh?

[willow crypt]

huh.

[cinder vessel]

space engineers is bug

[austere lance]

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

[jade lake]

Best spy kids was the one with Elijah woods

[cinder vessel]

Space Engineers isn't half-bad when it actually tells you how to do stuff

[jade lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RFwyobtnKA

had to do a double take on this scene

[cinder vessel]

Totally Spies was better

[austere lance]

Lol

[austere lance]

The only movies with PG rated Machete

[cinder vessel]

Practically Giant Machete?

[austere lance]

Compared to, you know, the VERY R rated Machete movies 😄

[willow crypt]

Machete is good

[austere lance]

Elijah Wood was fucking creepy in Sin City

[jade lake]

hes creepy in general

[cinder vessel]

where is licensed Machete game

[jade lake]

you are the licensed machete game

[willow crypt]

Would be bloody

[cinder vessel]

speaking of Elijah Wood, hi Transference

[austere lance]

That'd be fun af, lol

[willow crypt]

Or death car

[cinder vessel]

but where's death booty

[willow crypt]

Death proof*

[austere lance]

Uses random dude's intestines as an escape rope

Which one had the chick with an assault rifle leg

[willow crypt]

You play Curt Russel, drive around and load your car with cheerleaders

[austere lance]

Kurt Russell is a fuckin goober, lol

[willow crypt]

He's the best

[jade lake]

escape from new york

[willow crypt]

One of the greatest actors

[austere lance]

Funny in Big Trouble In Little China tho 😄

[willow crypt]

Watch bone tomahawk

[austere lance]

He was also good in Soldier

Back when he was a lad

[willow crypt]

The thing

The hateful 8

[austere lance]

Shit, forgot he was in The Thing (not the reboot, lol)

Well, I guess it was a prequel

[jade lake]

guardians 2

[austere lance]

Hateful 8 kinda disappointed me tbh. Ending was weak imo

[willow crypt]

I liked guardians 2, he was a good villian. Didn't care for the first one

[jade lake]

looking forward to that next tarantino movie

[willow crypt]

Me too

[jade lake]

yea hateful 8 was meh

[willow crypt]

Loved it

I like snowy snowy atmospheres and how blood looks splattered across it

[jade lake]

its been a while since ive seen it

but i remember thinking it was just ok

[austere lance]

To be fair, I haven't seen too many Tarantino movies and my favorite one was Django. Hateful 8 just didn't feel quite the same

[jade lake]

pulp fiction > reservoir dogs

[willow crypt]

Kill bill 1 and 2

[jade lake]

also great

[austere lance]

Kill Bill 1>2

2 wasn't bad, I just liked the first more

[willow crypt]

How to train your dragon

On wait

[jade lake]

lmao

[austere lance]

Lol

If Tarantino made How To Train Your Dragon kids would run screaming from the theater xD

[willow crypt]

Would be great

[jade lake]

it would

[austere lance]

Would definitely be a spectacle, lol

Is it weird that Inglorious Basterds is just blank to me? I remember basically nothing from it

[willow crypt]

I guess you could get it mixed up with other Nazi movies

Iike em all honestly

Brad Pitt was good.

[jade lake]

no u

😉

[willow crypt]

Thx

[austere lance]

He was also good in Fury, which felt sorta the same and I liked it more 😄

[willow crypt]

Would be a good game ( have to keep it relevant)

[austere lance]

Fury game=a Battlefield War Story, lol

[willow crypt]

Oh yeah saw that

[austere lance]

Like, the tank War Stories in Battlefield 1 felt like a Fury spinoff to me

Fury prequel? It was WWI

Pretty sure there was some inspiration there

[willow crypt]

Haven't played any battlefield games unfortunately

[austere lance]

Eh, I've played the campaigns for 3, 4, and 1 and they weren't anything special. Battlefield 1's multiplayer definitely wasn't special, lol

I liked Battlefront 2 more

[willow crypt]

Ha

[austere lance]

Speaking of, I haven't checked out Grievous, Obi Wan, Anakin, or Dooku

[willow crypt]

I like battlefields larger, sprawling maps more than other multiplayer games' more compact maps

[austere lance]

Waiting for their new game mode that sounds suspiciously like Galactic Conquest

[willow crypt]

Had a lot of fun with Destiny 1 pvp maps, but all that disappeared in d2

ah

[brisk merlin]

yea

[willow crypt]

Vehicles

Larger

[austere lance]

I thought you hadn't played Battlefield 🤔

[willow crypt]

I mean destiny

But I know what battlefield games look like from vids

Oh another example

[austere lance]

Ah. They're not as large as you'd think they are, I was expecting more

[willow crypt]

Hmm

Warhawk

[austere lance]

Yeah I thought they were gonna be big too

Hawx

[willow crypt]

Warhawk had massive maps

[austere lance]

I never played Tom Clancy's Hawx but I know some people liked it

What's Warhawk

[willow crypt]

Was a PS3 multiplayer sci-fi jet flying/ground combat game

[austere lance]

I rented Tom Clancy's Endwar back when it first released and was less than impressed, lol

Ordering troops around with my mic was fun tho

[willow crypt]

Yeah Clancy games never excite me. Enjoyed the Division though

[austere lance]

The only Clancy games I've liked are Splinter Cell and a Ghost Recon game

[agile tinsel]

Warhawk was pretty fun and yeah they had massive maps

[willow crypt]

I'll post a video

https://youtu.be/Zvcp3IIx_xE

That was a fun map

[austere lance]

I played the first Splinter Cell when I was a wee lad, didn't touch the franchise again till I was teenager in '08 and played the shit out of Conviction. Then I played a LOT of Blacklist a couple years later 😄

God I miss that game

[jade lake]

Chaos theory is dope

[willow crypt]

Isn't splinter cell getting a sequel

[austere lance]

Multiplayer was broken af in Blacklist but I still loved it, lol

Um. It would be like the 7th sequel xD

[willow crypt]

That's a lot

[agile tinsel]

I dont think I've actually played a Clancy game beside the division demo. Read some of his books lol

[austere lance]

But yeah, I'd kill for a new one

[willow crypt]

Hopefully Division 2 has a more interesting story. The shooting feels really solid though, satisfying.

[austere lance]

Ghost Recon is meh besides Future Soldier (the Gunsmith is still some of the best weapon customization I've seen in a game) and Splinter Cell Blacklist is definitely worth a playthrough (or 4, if you like playing through the campaign with all your upgrades like me 😄)

The Division was a horrendous waste, it should have been an amazing singleplayer RPG

[willow crypt]

Yep

It did a lot of things wrong

[austere lance]

Instead we got 2 looter-shooters 🙄

[willow crypt]

Looks like theyre learning from most of their messups right from the get go though

[austere lance]

I played 2 hours of both Divisions and they felt basically the same, lol. Not a fan

[willow crypt]

Looks like it, not going to be a huge change between the last update of Division 1 and the launch of D2

Besides the location

[austere lance]

Not a fan of looter shooters besides maybe Destiny. Destiny was obviously shooting for being an online looter shooter from the start, you can tell The Division and Anthem started out (and should have stayed) as big singleplayer RPG's full of story

[willow crypt]

More often than not, it's done wrong

[austere lance]

Imagine what would have happened if The Division had been made to be like Metro without the mutants

With its own ideas, of course. Just the same feel

[willow crypt]

👌

Are there any fictional clancy books?

[austere lance]

All of them

[willow crypt]

I mean more science fiction type stories

I assume not

Cause I feel like the world of the division would be more interesting with enemies that weren't human

[cinder vessel]

The Division, full of story? lol

The first showings of it were faked coop stuff

[agile tinsel]

Clancy was a political thriller/spy writer

[willow crypt]

So that's a no

[austere lance]

@willow crypt The Division is based on a bunch of Tom Clancy books, mainly The Collapse

[agile tinsel]

Yeah he wrote really grounded

[willow crypt]

ah

I feel like that sorta holds the games back

Or at least it does with D

[austere lance]

Oh, nvm. I hath been lied to

Why tf does it have his name on it if they wrote the game after his death and didn't base it on anything 😤

[cinder vessel]

'cause marketing

[agile tinsel]

I guess he cofounded a gaming developer who got bought by Ubisoft and they just kept using name for marketing

[willow crypt]

Pls Ubisoft, add monsterz

[austere lance]

Ffs

[willow crypt]

Infected, deformed, powerful enemies. That would have worked in the first game

[austere lance]

Jesus, Rainbow Six is the only "Tom Clancy" game series based on one of his books

[agile tinsel]

Yup

[austere lance]

Damn

[agile tinsel]

Everything else is a he might have helped out with the story a bit or something

[bronze wind]

Division was fun, just didn't like the sponginess

[austere lance]

Stellaris on Xbox 🤔

Weird

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is free with Gold this month, lol

[winter yew]

lol nice

that game is something else

I have it on Steam

whaaat

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness are the PSPlus games this month

[light cairn]

yepp

[rigid haven]

Yeah

Wait did I not say here?

Hold on let me get the message

[winter yew]

no Vita psplus games in March, in fact, no more Vitas are being produced.... >.<

[rigid haven]

Sora <3Last Wednesday at 16:41
PS Plus games for PS4 are:
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (yeah, that) and The Witness

Only those two

MW is neat

I wanna try it

[winter yew]

I'm glad I ordered that second vita before the prices get boosted because of their inevitable rarity

[austere lance]

Xbox gets Star Wars Republic Commando, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2, and some Adventure Time game

[rigid haven]

Four?

[austere lance]

Yeah, we always get four

[winter yew]

the vita slim i bought was only $139 and it was new >.>

[austere lance]

2 previous gen games and 2 current gen ones @rigid haven

[rigid haven]

Ohh

[austere lance]

Luckily we can play all 4 on one console 😄

[rigid haven]

PS4 used to be able to download Vita cross-buys

Iconoclasts and 2064:ROM

[winter yew]

annnnnnd now the psvita is showing at $265 or more as 'new'

[jade lake]

i still play my og vita

[winter yew]

the one with the OLED screen?

[jade lake]

yea

[winter yew]

I wish I could see how Geometry Wars 3 looks like on that

[austere lance]

I like playing original Xbox games on my Xbone with cleaned up graphics and sound, good stuff

[winter yew]

vita slim has LCD

[jade lake]

the slim looks nice

[winter yew]

i got it originally when it came out with the borderlands 2 bundle

touch pad on the back is so scuffed up lmao.

[light cairn]

i still love my og vita

[austere lance]

I love how the One does this, I can't wait to test it out with Republic Commando 😍
https://youtu.be/P1kDabyaw5k

[winter yew]

o man

[austere lance]

It's weird to think that you can put an original KotOR disc in your Xbone and have it play with better graphics, load-times, and sound

[winter yew]

🤔

[austere lance]

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-gets-more-new-original-xbox-backwards-com/1100-6458474/

@winter yew It's cool af, I love it

[winter yew]

almost want

but i never really got too invested in Xbox

I always played what friends owned lol

[austere lance]

I grew up on it, I've always loved the games and controllers (yes, including the Duke 😂)

[rigid haven]

Really, Xbox and Playstation are the same wall with different coats of paint

[austere lance]

I played on PC's til I was 6 then fell in love with Xbox when it released

[rigid haven]

Which begs the question of why Sony is being so closed

[austere lance]

Xbox has two generations of backwards compatibility and cross-play and Play Anywhere and Game Pass and controllers for disabled people, Sony's a bit behind tbh

[rigid haven]

Play anywhere?

[winter yew]

Purchase XB1 games to get the license for Win 10.

First party studios.

[austere lance]

Yee

[rigid haven]

Huh, neat

[winter yew]

Game pass is coming to PC too, if it's not already.

[austere lance]

And Switch

https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2019/02/23/what-if-the-nintendo-switch-just-starts-using-xbox-live-going-forward/

[rigid haven]

Origin has that dumb origin access thing so there's that

[winter yew]

Oh nice, I did not know it was heading to Switch.

[austere lance]

And yeah, Game Pass works on PC. A ton of people played Sea of Thieves that way

[rigid haven]

I do not like forbes however

Go away forbes

[austere lance]

Same with Forza and Crackdown 3

Hell, the next Halo will be on Game Pass

And Gears of War

[winter yew]

Errr, I wanna play SoT on PC.

[austere lance]

Get Game Pass then, lol @winter yew

[winter yew]

I'm looking at it right now.

[austere lance]

You'll be able to play Forza, Crackdown 3, and Sea of Thieves on your PC

[winter yew]

I already have it but I'm looking at how to play on PC.

Hoping it's just using Xbox app.

[austere lance]

It is

[winter yew]

Well shit.

[austere lance]

Lol

[winter yew]

Well this has just increased my options.

[austere lance]

As long as you have a digital copy you can play on PC and Xbox and carry progress back and forth

[winter yew]

Forza Horizon 3 was the last Play Anywhere game I played and I had to download the game directly from windows store.

That was before the Xbox app integration.

Using the app is gunna make shit SO much more easy.

[austere lance]

https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000707348-Sea-of-Thieves-PC-Install-Instructions

You download from Microsoft Store but you launch from app, I think

[cinder vessel]

they should ditch xbox live gold reqs for multiplayer, make it into a deals service + games with gold, and have GamePass as an extra bit of revenue, then they'd be really ahead, at least imo

basically Sea of Thieves still demands direct download from Windows Store

I know 'cause I tried its free weekend awhile ago

[winter yew]

Oh 😦

[cinder vessel]

It's whatever, 'cause you can launch it without having to go back to the windows store

[winter yew]

I don't have windows store installed.
