crisp sparrow
ohhh
winter yew
Not surprising actually.
full pivot
my figures were conservative 😳
see we're the type of people that need a 1080Ti, but it sounds cooler to have a 2080Ti so we'll just buy the most expensive one cuz it must be better
sorry im not adding anything productive
winter yew
There's logic to it tbf.
It's the exact reason I increase my fee year on year, the kind of businesses/people I target are the people that deem "cheap" work not an option.
They see my price and it's an automatic confirmation of quality.
People be weird.
willow crypt
Ugh
winter yew
I mean, I AM worth my quality. 😛
idle saffron
More
full pivot
if i had anything that actually fit with your service i would be delighted :3
winter yew
😏
full pivot
yknow i tried to work on that really hard for wording 😦
idle saffron
Didn't work
full pivot
idle saffron
Lol, I just tried to do a scan in NMS, with the button that Death Stranding uses for the odradeck
reef storm
How'd that work out for you
idle saffron
Melee'd
full pivot
mod or your little scanner to get upset at hostile fauna and sentinels too
like the odradeck does
idle saffron
Hell, just a mod that puts the odradeck in, instead of the bot thing
full pivot
i just realized theyre similar looking devices xD
idle saffron
Ya
full pivot
if not today i will def play more DS over my 4 day break!
idle saffron
I switched difficulty to hard
full pivot
does it make much difference?
idle saffron
Mmm, for the bigger BT fights yeah
full pivot
yeah my first boss was like a loooong fight haha
idle saffron
The MULEs not so much
full pivot
i kept thinking i wasn't doing something right
idle saffron
Delivery restrictions are the same
But it seems like my stuff degrades a bit faster - might be just in my head though
full pivot
there has to be something like that
otherwise how is it hard
degrade only marginally matters though if you're good on your feet
idle saffron
Yeah, and there are other things you can do as well
idle saffron
Did it go completely under?
full pivot
nah just looked stuck in the mud
i didn't trust myself driving with the stuff at 0% is all
idle saffron
If it gets sunk completely, anything on it comes off
Happened to me on a mountain side - packages went tumbling down after I cleared the area
Lol
They can wash away in the rivers also
full pivot
i was somewhat fortunate; it was mostly depleted cuz of the rain
maybe i did hop off and just didn't realize
idle saffron
I avoid them, or try and scout on foot and clear a path usually - but I'm planning to spend some time deliberately fighting and getting caught
I'm also contemplating killing a MULE, to see if I have to transport the corpse to avoid a voidout
full pivot
this was like hitting a deer while driving
i wasn't paying attention enough
looking elsewhere and odradeck suddenly turns to the front and freaks out
BOOM too late
idle saffron
Lol
idle saffron
Nope, they are quick to ooze
full pivot
i learned 😛
and it was a really great gaming experience
i love things like that
"oh shit" moments :3
idle saffron
It has quite a few
idle saffron
willow crypt
I want to be a post apocalyptic delivery boy
winter yew
That'd be my first choice if the world went post apocalyptic tbh
winter yew
I just got the Level 2 Anti-BT handgun
tears down the bigger BT's pretty quickly
this was my truck after a recent encounter lol https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKOezXBXsAIL644?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
willow crypt
Dirty
winter yew
covered in that black liquid
willow crypt
I'm looking forward to becoming stronger
winter yew
which chapter you in?
willow crypt
Just got to chapter 3 and ||fought the first boss||
idle saffron
❤️
idle saffron
winter yew
I'm getting lots of likes from people who are using the rebuilt roads.
I did have one issue where there was a truck practically blocking the entry to a delivery spot, don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it was kind of inconvenient.
cinder vessel
I meant to continue with the story and got caught up in material recovery, some other side orders, and then setting up a zipline to make the material recovery easier for future folks
winter yew
at the waterfall?:D
cinder vessel
Oh jeez, people love dumping junk in the cosplayer's place
winter yew
yes
cinder vessel
Yeah, near the waterfall
winter yew
i managed to get the truck backed out of there after spamming the jump button lol
cinder vessel
I set up some climbing anchors and ladders around the cosplayer's place because it's such an awkward spot
idle saffron
|| I can use zip lines to get from South knot to mountain knot - and all the locations around mountain knot||
winter yew
there are SO many lost deliveries for the Elder in one of the distro centers
cinder vessel
People hate going to his place, lol
winter yew
yea it is a pain in the ass
cinder vessel
I set up some easy climbing routes to it so I don't mind it much anymore
winter yew
are the BT areas always there? or do they follow the storms?
cuz I noticed people put down 👻 signs in BT territory
cinder vessel
Depends, which way are you going to it from? I think east-southeast almost always has some timefall coming down
winter yew
hrrmm i wanna say that place just past the Engineer, that looks like a ruined city
seems to always have BT's
cinder vessel
Oh, I think you mean the Junk Dealer
winter yew
yes him
cinder vessel
Yeah, going up from there always seems to have some timefall
I don't know that I've ever seen it clear up around there, at least not for very long
winter yew
I was so annoyed during the pizza delivery, so that's why I got after rebuilding the roads
because dealing with MULEs and BTs during that long trip was awful, even in a truck
cinder vessel
Yeeaahhh
idle saffron
Have you been caught by the BTs yet?
winter yew
I've done it on purpose a few times for the chiral stuff
idle saffron
Lol
winter yew
and i got voided out one time due to running out of grenades.
cinder vessel
I got caught once, early on heading over to Port Knot City, but not since then...I was trying to take the trike over the mountains, lol
winter yew
so there's an area on the map that's kind of near the crater lake that is hard for me to pass because most of the area I can travel on is a damn slope.
cinder vessel
I eventually got it over after escaping being caught
winter yew
had i not caused that voidout, I'm certain that area would be easier to get past lol
cinder vessel
Wait, that actually does the thing? ||Crater?||
winter yew
yup
idle saffron
WHAT
idle saffron
||I will now destroy everything||
winter yew
||I think they happen in predetermined spots though so that might not be possible, they probably don't want to make it impossible to complete the story||
idle saffron
||I shall figure out a way to voidout the elder||
cinder vessel
lmao
winter yew
ahhaah
so you know those AI porters you come across?
they actually make their deliveries
idle saffron
Yes
cinder vessel
that's a terrible way to ||speak of yourself Gleam|| 😉
idle saffron
And you can trade with them
winter yew
I followed one
idle saffron
idle saffron
||now I want to kill MULEs and see if I can dump their bodies by BTs||
winter yew
oh god
||I think you have to dispose of dead bodies anyway||
||if you remember the opening missions, anyway..||
idle saffron
Yeah, that was my guess
cinder vessel
Tbh those porters look like MULEs from a distance, but I think that's intentional to make you second guess yourself
winter yew
the scanner makes me think of NMS
cinder vessel
First time I saw them was via their odradek lights and I was like, "A MULE, here?"
idle saffron
Aww, no MULE emote
winter yew
I'm Sam!!
idle saffron
My name is Sam too!
cinder vessel
I love-hate the MULE alert sound
idle saffron
||you develop a counter for it||
winter yew
oh geez
idle saffron
||Each camp is slightly different, but you can count out the timing - it is the same for that camp||
cinder vessel
MULEs are practiced in psychological warfare
winter yew
this clip im watching, this dude is showing 'awesome details' of the game, and one of them shows what happens if you go out without shoes on
winter yew
fuck that makes me cringe
cinder vessel
||I always try countering the scans while driving and lol at that||
cinder vessel
Kojima should have gone further, glove maintenance
idle saffron
Yeah
cinder vessel
Omg...Gonna have to try peeing in the snow
idle saffron
You can pee on BTs
winter yew
they just point at him and motion for him to leave the camp
willow crypt
Guys stop tormenting Hex
idle saffron
Lmao
winter yew
I genuinely can not wait to play.
idle saffron
||You urine drives them away||
winter yew
so drink all the drink
idle saffron
Don't forget to drink from your canteen
willow crypt
I need to more often
cinder vessel
||Have either of you used the sticky gun yet?||
willow crypt
||i wanna grow shrooms||
winter yew
question : How come I don't have Monster Energy Drink cans in my private room anymore? 😦
cinder vessel
You got the better drink
winter yew
oh good
cinder vessel
Well I don't know if it's better, but I prefer it
winter yew
that really kinda took me out of the game for a moment, seeing those HIGHLY detailed cans on the table lmao
cinder vessel
Yeah
winter yew
I assume Hex is going to be waiting for the PC version
cinder vessel
Oh Gleam, I think you'll love it
cinder vessel
||It's great for fishing cargo out of rivers @idle saffron||
winter yew
when I was in one of the ports, i moved the camera and it was behind the invisible wall to the gateway, the sound was a little muted
idle saffron
Oh great idea - ||my cargo was out of reach and I didn't have a ladder||
I finagled a jump to a spot and grabbed it
idle saffron
||I did bridges in multiple areas there, so no matter which way you are coming or going, you can get across easily||
winter yew
||yeah, i saw some bridges there, not sure what your username is on psn but i give those bridges SO many likes when i see them||
cinder vessel
||Same here, alongside completing bridges others had started||
idle saffron
Right?
winter yew
lol
idle saffron
I could have used my real name, like a total nut job
winter yew
Shhhh
idle saffron
Ayyyy
cinder vessel
Same, but contributors' names get buried at those
winter yew
yeaa
idle saffron
There are a few spots where I have placed something, but later it is marked as someone elses
cinder vessel
It's whatever, I still see where folks use my roads =P
winter yew
yea 😄
cinder vessel
Yeah, if other people complete stuff you start, it will sometimes show their name instead
winter yew
yeah it only destroys it in your instance , from what i've heard
idle saffron
Yep
cinder vessel
Some people put stuff in the silliest places
idle saffron
Exactly, weird locations, or bad location - I delete
I bet some of that is not seeing everything they placed though
cinder vessel
I used a ladder that looked okay from above, but had you stepping off of the cliff at the bottom
idle saffron
Lol
winter yew
yeaa
cinder vessel
Fortunately not a long drop from there but big oof
I can't imagine how much time must have gone into getting the terrain coarseness stuff working like it does
idle saffron
Lots and lots
And then some more
Have you guys seen || the hallucinations in the safe room?||
cinder vessel
||Some of them, yeah||
idle saffron
There was one I hadn't, freaked me out for a second
winter yew
you mean ||the flashbacks from BB?||
idle saffron
No
winter yew
hmmmm
idle saffron
||interact with stuff while in the safe room, you will see some eventually||
winter yew
||oh there was something by the figure collection, guess I should touch it?||
idle saffron
You should, yes - but that is something else
cinder vessel
Oh yeah, do you sometimes not get ||BB flashbacks, or have I somehow developed an unconscious skipping habit already?||
idle saffron
Sometimes you don't
cinder vessel
Ok, cool, I usually don't skip any of that since I don't let Sam rest often, lol
idle saffron
cinder vessel
Sam would hate me, lol
winter yew
lol
idle saffron
When you are sitting on the bed, zoom in at Sam
winter yew
lol
austere lance
So uh, I just had to tell somebody who's been playing Jedi Fallen Order for a couple days that you can swing on ropes to jump farther. Somehow he's gotten this far without doing so, which I wouldn't think was possible if I hadn't talked to him 😂
idle saffron
Have they ever played any game with rope swinging? That's fairly common
cinder vessel
Yeah, that goes way back to, what, Pitfall?
austere lance
LMAO
idle saffron
austere lance
I swear you have to swing on ropes loooong before the part he was stuck at, he's bonkers 😆
cinder vessel
Tbh that's just impressive
austere lance
Speaking of, that's the planet he was stuck on
austere lance
@idle saffron You know the spot with the two ropes right in front of a meditation spot?
austere lance
He couldn't figure that out
idle saffron
austere lance
Like, he got down right there but couldn't figure out how to get back up from the meditation spot
He apparently spent a couple hours running around trying to figure that out, lol
cinder vessel
Hopefully by the time I pick it up they'll have smoothed out some of the technical issues, though it sounds like it might be similar to Control in that it's noticeable but not gameborking
idle saffron
Doesn't the game force you to swing early on?
meager panther
Dathomir 
meager panther
Tbh dathomir looks like the nms radioactive planets
idle saffron
Yeah, some of the platforming is a bit whonky, but passable
cinder vessel
guy should record their playthrough just so folks can be baffled
cinder vessel
yeah
meager panther
Leon i have literally watched about 3-4 hours of game play 
The whole game has tons of videos
cinder vessel
Yeah but I mean this specific guy
Because somehow they didn't know how to rope swing
meager panther
Oh you mean like thay
austere lance
I was like "Did you try swinging on this?" and apparently the thought had never occurred to him
winter yew
Holy shit
idle saffron
I mean
winter yew
||just triggered a hallucination||
idle saffron
He should probably give someone else the Xbox at that point
meager panther
Well i saw someone on Reddit say they complete the game on grandmaster using only 3 health upgrades or something
idle saffron
Lol
cinder vessel
that's different tho
idle saffron
What a wuss, I did it with no upgrades
meager panther
And then everyone was like you can get upto 10 upgrades and everyone was like wtf
cinder vessel
This is like gameplay 101 with the rope swing
idle saffron
Aye
austere lance
He somehow managed to jump on the rope but not swing on it so he died every time he jumped off
idle saffron
||What did you see?|| @winter yew
austere lance
Idk how you even do that unless you spam the jump button
winter yew
||deadman grabbing my feet||
cinder vessel
It looks like a vine when playing though, right?
idle saffron
Nice acey
austere lance
It's very obviously a rope that's just dangling a foot away from the ledge
idle saffron
And it glows
cinder vessel
WE'RE IN SPACE?
austere lance
Seriously, if you run and jump on the rope it swings with your forward momentum. I physically can't understand what the hell he was doing for two hours trying to get across
cinder vessel
lol
willow crypt
Roll
idle saffron
Jump, wait to stop, try and jump
meager panther
Lmao he was trying for 2 hours?
Did he get stuck with that frog too
I have been seeing everyone say its the most difficult one
austere lance
Ogdo takes no prisoners 
idle saffron
What
meager panther
The frog called ooga booga or something
austere lance
Oggdo Bogdo
meager panther
austere lance
He's an absolute unit
meager panther
Looks ugly
austere lance
He's just a slightly larger version of the normal frog aliens, lol
Honestly fighting three of them at once is harder than fighting him
idle saffron
That's the one in the hole
austere lance
Yeah. First optional mini-boss
idle saffron
He wasn't bad, I'm getting beat up by the named one on Dathomir
The lesser whatever
Nykaro? Ny something?
austere lance
Parry all three of his swings when he does his combo, you'll like the results 😏
idle saffron
Just need to fight it a few more times - I miss one and forget to reblock - just hold down block and get hit
cinder vessel
btw Gleam, there isn't a way to tether climbing anchors together for one really long rope early on, right?
cinder vessel
Didn't think so, but I keep feeling like it should be a thing one can do
||You've unlocked the other vehicle sub-types here & there, right? Like the long-range models?||
idle saffron
Most of the long descents have outcroppings, you could get a chain of them with careful planning
Yep
The || long range truck 3 is amazing||
austere lance
What do you fuel things with 
idle saffron
Electricity
willow crypt
Gremlins
idle saffron
Oh, maybe gremlins
austere lance
Gremlins in hamster wheels making electricity
willow crypt
That makes too much sense
idle saffron
Oh yeah, I forgot all about those
winter yew
silver sparrow
that looks like a man who will only pay for his part at dinner
idle saffron
It is a man that wouldn't pay at all, he would steal it
silver sparrow
he should change his name then
cinder vessel
@idle saffron yeah, i usually do the little anchor chain thing, but I always wanna go either straight up or down if I can, and tethering together would be best way to do that.
owell, ziplines!
idle saffron
Zooooom
cinder vessel
oh btw @idle saffron I managed to accidentally break Death Stranding
idle saffron
Sweet god, of course you did
cinder vessel
lol
I was climbing up a rope from a climbing anchor I put down that I'd used multiple times without issue, right? Then one of the times somehow it just lost track of Sam's position and shoved him into the air mid-climb no longer holding the rope
Eventually it figured out what was going on and dropped me to the ground. Thankfully I managed to somehow move just enough to where I didn't plummet to my death, buuut yeah, that was a big, "what, how?" moment
idle saffron
Lmao
cinder vessel
I'd literally probably used that rope 5 or 6 times by the time it decided to go, "What's a rope, anyway?"
idle saffron
I did a series of ladders to reach the top floor of a ruined building, and it was making me mad how it would show where they go, but then drop and bounce off
raven frost
derth shtrernehrn
cinder vessel
I think what happened is that, if you look at the climbing anchors' ropes, sometimes the physics on them are...Weird...And it may have gotten caught in the cliff face and detached from Sam's grips, then the game was like, "WHERE'S THE ROPE SAM?!"
cinder vessel
Oh yeah, the ladders are tricky like that, found that out fast along the ravines
You'll find what you think is a good enough position, but then you try to walk across them and hahahaha slide into the ravine Sam!
idle saffron
Lol
cinder vessel
At least around those they constantly tell you, "Unstable surface" so, well, they warned you
idle saffron
True
cinder vessel
Betting they may not have done that in the ruined building as much
idle saffron
No unstable, just a nice outline, and then fall
Lol
I did make it though, and then placed a climbing anchor at the top for future Sams
cinder vessel
Thanks Sam!
idle saffron
No problem Sam!
So, I know you got the email for the lights seen by capital knot city
By the quarantine center
Did you figure that out?
cinder vessel
I haven't gone back yet, which reminds me I totally forgot about the hint during the material recovery! 🤦♀️
||I keep thinking about looking behind the waterfall but...Need to do so with less cargo on my back||
idle saffron
||I was so happy to setup a zip line across that||
Haven't checked behind it, but I assume in standard video game fashion, there is something
I checked the ones in Fallen order, paid off
cinder vessel
Wait you did that too? lol ||I was so surprised as I was going around there that no one had yet||
idle saffron
Yeah, same!
cinder vessel
To be fair, getting across the regular way is a tad rough, so I suppose maybe that's why
idle saffron
||Plus, it halves the travel time to the timefall farm from there||
||I took some up right between the timefall farm and the weather station, right to the robotocist||
That whole area is connected
cinder vessel
Hmm, how's Pokémon Sun & Moon? Or is UltraSun/Moon the version to get over the originals?
austere lance
We have Sun and Ultra Moon, they're bizarre to play if you hadn't played any since Platinum like me when I first picked up Ultra Moon 😆
They're easier than the old games, less grindy
cinder vessel
They're less tedious, ya mean, good
I didn't realize Sun/Moon have demos available, so I might give them a try that way
cinder vessel
...who?
idle saffron
🤷
willow crypt
same
cinder vessel
It's kinda weird, Pokémon X/Y doesn't have a demo, but Sun/Moon and Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby do
idle saffron
cinder vessel
Talos Principle?
idle saffron
Yep
I was happily surprised that the gamepass version has Road to Gehenna
Back in a bit
willow crypt
it's pretty
tame coral
It's hard too
The 1st dungeon is tough
NO
It really is tough but it's really pretty
And I like the soundtrack
austere lance
Seat of the Matriarch separates the men from the boys
willow crypt
I want tough pretty games to be easy pretty games
austere lance
Thankfully Jedi: Fallen Order has difficulty options, Ashen is just brutal 😭
austere lance
Did I beat Ashen in the first week of release? Yes. Am I ever ever ever gonna be able to do it again? Probably not 😂
Seat of the Matriarch and Palace of Lathyrus cause me great pain, lol
willow crypt
i'd dread replaying any type of game like that
but that's coming from a guy who won't replay 98 % of games unless they're a very short, meditative experience
like Journey
austere lance
That friggin palace is painful
I won't go back in there with my end-game gear, lol
Idk how I survived my first completion
The friggin dungeons in that game are harder than the boss fights 😆
Amiren herself is 18x easier to deal with than her dungeon, and Lathyrus is a bit of a bitch but his dungeon is a nightmare
@winter yew You're gonna need your big boy pants to beat Ashen, lol
willow crypt
i don't know who these characters are but it sounds stressful and I'll probably avoid it now
winter yew
I love challenging/hard games.
austere lance
@willow crypt It's basically a Dark Souls game
willow crypt
yeah
austere lance
Ngl I don't know why certain devs (glares at FromSoft) refuse to include difficulty options, some of us just wanna enjoy the world and story without wasting hours grinding and dying cuz of OP enemies
J: FO is getting lots of praise for letting people choose the difficulty, mainly cuz the highest difficulty caters to Souls fans and the lowest difficulty is for everyone. Between the four difficulties there's a sweet spot for any type of gamer
willow crypt
1 0 0
austere lance
What were those mech games FromSoft made called?
willow crypt
not sure, only know dark souls, bloodborne and sekiro
brave spire
google says it was called metal wolf
austere lance
Armored Core, that's the one I was thinking of. I wonder if they'll ever go back to it
So uh, Biomutant has apparently been "content complete" with playable sections and whatnot since 2017
austere lance
I have no idea, they release gameplay for streamers to mess with every like 6 months but it's always the same segment we've seen for the last two years
Inb4 it gets the ol Scalebound and Prey 2 treatment
idle saffron
It was @zug originally, pretty good
willow crypt

winter yew
time to check if this cephalon done baking or what.
38 mins
always.
I guess I could pop this on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlgIfd2vuEo And just wait it out. 😄
cinder vessel
there are too many good things to unlock from doing side stuff in Death Stranding 😩
I keep telling myself to get back to the story and try to just get through it so I can get through other games but then I find some lost cargo and then I look at orders and at my connection with them, and am like, "I should see what I get for improving that..."
willow crypt
I haven't been doing that many side quests, but if you say they're rewarding enough, I may do more
cinder vessel
Individually not really, but cumulatively, yeah
willow crypt
The reward sound effects are definitely satisfying
That 'likes' sound
And the sound of the star filling up

Mario Betraying Yoshi, 2019, colorized
winter yew
Apparently they fixed some crashes in the latest patch.
some vague af shit, like: Improvements to address an issue that resulted in a random crash during gameplay when using DirectX 12, or Improvements to address an issue that resulted in a crash during gameplay when using keyboard and mouse controls. Like, sounds like some good shit. 😄
but yeah, I've experienced a metric shit ton of "random crashes" during the last few days of playing.
echo hill
Dude ngl Nightsister Merrin is fucking hot
crisp sparrow
lmao game freak is suing the leakers who posted the dexit stuff
apparently some of them were doing it on discord
as much as how bullshit this decision is by game freak, why the fuck did those idiots use discord
crisp sparrow
oh man they went real deep with this
they probably would have avoided getting sued if they had just posted on 4chan
reef storm
Well yeah. It's TPCi suing, not Game Freak
winter yew
Also DoA.
The dude(s) that leaked purchased the game early.
No reverse engineering, no breach of NDA.
reef storm
This wasn't a leak from the game, but the strategy guide
crisp sparrow
ye
echo hill
tbh im not gunna stop playing till i beat this game
crisp sparrow
yeah that's how 4chan got away with it lol
winter yew
Ah, then I stand mistaken.
reef storm
BTW - that document is 95 pages.
crisp sparrow
if anything they'll need to counter argue that there has been no damage, considering sales
echo hill
FFS they just made a poop joke in star wars
winter yew
“Only production facility employees with proper security clearance have access to the Strategy Guide during the production process,” lawyers for The Pokémon Company wrote. “Those with permission to access the secured areas are not permitted to bring in cellular phones or cameras.”
Yeah that'll do it.
reef storm
I sort of wonder if they'll try to get that server shut down
I don't think that would stand since it's community run, but you never know
winter yew
Eh, we had members leaking early gameplay of NMS in this server.
I don't think you can tarnish a whole server cause of a small few.
It's practically impossible to police.
reef storm
That's true
winter yew
I feel the only reason for this lawsuit is to scare others into abiding by their NDA.
reef storm
Oh I agree. They won't get everything they're asking
crisp sparrow
oh also there's some unused audio in the game files that got datamined, some of it was of pokemon eating curry
and uh....
I can see why they didnt use them 😅
winter yew
But yeah, I did truly believe this was the dudes that leaked some gameplay before official release date.
I wasn't aware that this whole thing was going on too.
crisp sparrow
winter yew
This is a little different, this is images straight from the printing press.

btw, off the wall, but if you see Left Alive way on the cheap these days and like stealth survival action kinda stuff, I still recommend it

Grand Master was super fun and rewarding but man there were a few moments where I thought I was going to legit break my controller
grizzled pine
https://youtu.be/n9fKOwXIMx4?t=1421 This is fucking insanity levels of good (timestamped, you dont need to watch the entire thing.)
If this game ever comes out it has the potential to be absolutely crazy good
raven frost
Is it okay to say I'm not really impressed by SC anymore?
Yes, ArCorp was impressive from a technical standpoint, but its execution in terms of gameplay was incredibly lackluster
... As most things feel in SC right now. :\
charred badge
I mean, yes? It's the pretty standard response, next to "it's a scam"

I'll say SOMETHING positive to counter out my negativity here: as far as I know, microTech is the last planet in the Crusader system. HOPEFULLY this means we'll be getting new solar systems sooner than later, and with the planetary creation tech getting better and better, hopefully this means they can start putting out planets at a significantly faster rate.
charred badge
They just showed the next system
winter yew
Yeah they already announced and demo'd a new solar system.
raven frost
oh
charred badge
Warping looks interesting
winter yew
Warping I thought was very interesting.
Not the usual load screen but instead having to manually control the ship.
willow crypt
The snow planet looks really good
And it's cool you have to find a suit to be able to explore it
Would love to see what they can do with fauna
brisk merlin
the wormhole is just dr who
charred badge
Don't need to find one normally. But the mission setup required a disguise
Apparently they're going for "a mix of procedurally generated and hand crafted missions"
willow crypt
That's exactly whAt it needs
From what I've seen in the past, missions tend to be lackluster
charred badge
I have a minimum playable backer level, and it's currently fun for looking at and the bugs, mostly
Well, the missions are standard Elite:D fair currently.
Just slightly complicated by the ability to get out and pick up crates
meager panther
The worm hole looked great
It actually looked rather different and less warping and more like you actually doing something
willow crypt
Yep. Gameplay
charred badge
@brisk merlin the wormholes are standard sci-fi, but usually they're automated loading screens rather than a kingdom hearts transition level
willow crypt
I'm really impressed with the level of detail and diversity in the city from what I've seen being played
charred badge
Advantage of having maps be manually made
Although I hear needing to take a train around is annoying
And the city loads extremely poorly
willow crypt
I could see that becoming a slog
crisp sparrow
Now that I have v limited internet
I thought this would be a great chance to play some of my offline library
But I'm already tired wtf
willow crypt
Give me 20 pushups

iron inlet
There's only two weeks until the next destiny DLC and we know absolutely nothing about it
Monka
raven frost
wait wHAT
iron inlet
yup
14 days left of this Season
we literally know the name and that's it
"Season of the Dawn"
brisk merlin
season of pawn
iron inlet
oh and "Fix the timeline"
willow crypt
How substantial is it supposed to be
willow crypt
Brain lotion
iron inlet
Not as big as Shadowkeep and Season of the Undying together
somewhere in the middle
bigger than Season of the Undying though
willow crypt
Hmm
iron inlet
Also means Vex Offensive goes away in 14 days
raven frost
rip vex offensive, hardly ever knew ye
iron inlet
kinda garbage activity anyway tbh
raven frost
The guns we got were cool
willow crypt
Leafy
raven frost
hand lotion
winter yew
Subjinctive
iron inlet
Killing the Undying Mind once and for all fucks up the timestream because of us fiddling around in tons of timelines, Osiris comes and yells at us because we're fucking idiots, we go back to Mercury (new area) and have to fix the timeline, and I think this is also when the perfect paradox of Saint-14 will come back around.
I expect 6 new exotics
3 seasonal exotic weapons, 3 new armour pieces
1 exotic will be from the season pass, the other two will be quests
I expect to see Vex Mythoclast make a return this season too
as for pinnacles my expectation is a Gambit Fusion, a Crucible Bow, and a Vanguard Hand Cannon
grizzled pine
@raven frost definitely feel you on the SC thing
i havent bought anything for the game, I am just looking at what they show once a year and the scale of it all just seems so incredible
if they pull off all the shit they've listed, it will be amazing
crisp sparrow
hello I have breaking news: this game is fun
brisk merlin
is that the guy from pokemon sapphire
winter yew
Nice I have that one
austere lance
I see Bee beat Jedi: Fallen Order, lol
charred badge
@brisk merlin what? ORAS were very good
Good fixes and fun new features. Just a shame they didn't fit in the battle frontier from Emerald
brisk merlin
i hate the new things introduced in pokemon like mega evolutions
charred badge
Don't have to use them 🤷
raven frost
@grizzled pine I'm just waiting for FPS AI to improve, FPS was probably the nicest feeling thing in SC which really isn't surprising because crytek engine
willow crypt
Whooaaaaaaa just || rebuilt my first road || in death stranding and it's beautiful
visual snow
I dont have a playstation cries eternally

what the shjit
I fucking love State of Decay.
Just got a state of decay yose.
well thank fuck I never decided to buy it. 😄
It's such a fun game.
austere lance
Someday I'll try to get back into SoD 2
winter yew
yeah wish 2 wasn't a microsoft store exclusive.
and wish it worked better.
used up my week long free trial on it
finished it too, but.
oh well prolly why I got yose. 😄
Current owners of YoSE are getting a free key to give away too.
anyways, STARDEW 1.4 BOIS
just look at this changelog, holy hell. 😄
austere lance
I haven't played SoD 2 since like three weeks after it released, hopefully it works better now 😆
winter yew
zombie sims, good game.
dunno when I played, but it basically looks the same as 1, but even on lowest of lows it worked like shit.
got some sweet vehicle flips too.
austere lance
I played the hell out of it for a couple weeks then got bored, never finished it
winter yew
I completed first one many times over.
here. 😄
I got it on X360 and XB1.
I've been waiting for Steam release for SoD2.
austere lance
Tried the first and wasn't a fan, I liked 2 more. I have a dank base set up at a church
austere lance
Actually I might have moved my base to the shipping container place with all the warehouses
I'm a noob and chose the nice green map with all the hills cuz it looks like Washington 😆
winter yew
this fkn suplex from the other vid is also beautiful. 😄
austere lance
I started a second character on the Nevada-looking map, fuck that place
iron inlet
Destiny 2: Season of the Dawn reveal livestream on December 4th
austere lance
@winter yew The Heartland DLC for SoD 2 takes you back to the map from the first game
winter yew
Oh very nice.
austere lance
Oh god, they added hard difficulties to the game. Fuck that, I'm bad enough at the vanilla version 😆
tame coral
Apparently season of dawn is going to lack in content
I hope they don't pull another dying mind
austere lance
Ngl I haven't touched D2 in a couple weeks, too many new games to play 😩
winter yew
Same tbh
austere lance
Idk if I'm gonna keep playing Remnant, it's hard af to play solo and is obviously designed for teams
willow crypt
Yeah you gotta grind a bit
Lovely environments and enemies though
Dropped it and need to return one day
austere lance
I'm on a singleplayer vibe, I might re-download State of Decay 2 for the first time in over a year and Fable Anniversary
Wait, Darksiders 3 is on Game Pass 👀
I called this as soon as I saw nukes at the E3 reveal, lol
winter yew
Now this is something I can get on board with.
austere lance
This some GTA levels of bullshit, you can't shoot people or blow them up if they're in Passive but radiation still kills em, tons of trolls are either nuking Passive players or yeetings nuclear mines at em
echo hill
I think imma play through JFO on story mode now just to see how much of a difference there it
Isq
Is
austere lance
A lot
echo hill
Yeah I bet
austere lance
I did Story my first playthrough then went to Knight my second, there's a HUGE jump between em
echo hill
Dude I was on the last trilla fight for nearly an hour
austere lance
Jesus
echo hill
Oh and also FUCK the imperial dojo
austere lance
There's a control panel in the room before it that lets you open up the floor
Then you can use upgraded Push and yeet both the staff ass-hats into the lava right off the bat
austere lance
Slow also gives you a free hit on most enemies, which is all you need for Blaster Purge Troopers
You can yeet the R2 droids at enemies too
echo hill
Ooh shit yeah I didn't even think of that
Tbh it was 3am so my brain wasn't functioning so good lol
austere lance
BD protests if you kill R2 droids, lol
Never forget to use your environment, grasshopper. Yeet enemies at each other, blast em of ledges, upgrade Slow and fuck up groups of enemies at once, etc
Use the ||double blade|| on groups of enemies, especially it's double heavy attack
austere lance
Running through the game dodging and parrying is boring, unleash your inner Jedi and use the Force and shit to go wild 😆
What would Anakin in Clone Wars do
willow crypt
Good luck 👍
austere lance
@echo hill Bruh the space Goth chick in Jedi: Fallen Order got me like 
willow crypt
Sexy?
willow crypt
Lol

Meh
austere lance
@winter yew State of Decay 2 on Steam will have cross-play with Windows and Xbox 💕
winter yew
Oh damn, now this is a good step forward.
austere lance
Once Master Chief Collection is out on PC 343 will probably look into cross-play between pc and consoles 😩 💦 💦
austere lance
Pizza time?
winter yew
in Death Stranding
there's this dude that keeps wanting pizza delivered and it gets longer and more complicated each time
austere lance
Does it play pizza time music
winter yew
the last one had me carrying a package in my hand the whole trek
austere lance
From Spider-Man 2
winter yew
fun fact : I own a USB stick that the q-pids in Death Stranding seem to be modeled after
cinder vessel
@winter yew ...surely that's a Death Stranding merch item as an actual USB drive...
I think they're definitely selling q-pid necklaces
cinder vessel
lmao
I wasn't disbelieving you btw, that was just a, "no, may this cease being a thing"
fallen notch
winter yew
ohh
austere lance
Videogame merchandise is gud and all but when can I buy a Halo ring and threaten humanity with it
cinder vessel
yeah wtf is george lucas doing with all that money not making death stars or halos for himself
austere lance
Me: Tells world leaders to get their shit together and clean up the planet
World leaders: "Blah blah money is more important"
Me:
EITHER YOU CLEAN IT OR I WILL, BITCHES
This is why I'm not allowed to have a Halo ring, lol
@cinder vessel He legit just needs one Star Destroyer, pretty sure we don't have space military yet 😆
cinder vessel
so which do you think came first, the star destroyer or the death star
austere lance
Star Destroyers, the Empire had quite a few of em long before the Death Star was finished
cinder vessel
sorry but star destroyers are hatched from death stars so that can't be right ||/s||
cinder vessel
yes

This album art really makes me think of Nessus:

echo hill
oh did the steam sale start?
cinder vessel
I think a fair amount of the digital shops have, yeah
austere lance
Fml, GTA V Premium Online Edition for $10. It's so tempting
It would be a lot more tempting if Rockstar hadn't bitched out and stopped character transfers from last-gen. Fuck starting over on that game, lol
I was level 160+, had a big-ass apartment, had a 12 car garage by the airport, and had $5m in the bank. Then I went to college and couldn't afford a new console to transfer my character over to the next-gen version
cinder vessel
don't do it
austere lance
Rockstar annoys me, I'm not going to
Hmm, Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition for less than $5
Tf is Frostpunk
Looks annoying
cinder vessel
lmao
Frostpunk is Souls meets Basebuilding
Or in other words it's tough and cold and kinda depressing
austere lance
Life's too short for pain in the ass Civ-like games imo
cinder vessel
Perfect for the holidays!
It's not really Civ-like
But if that's the closest that comes to mind, good enough
austere lance
Whoever posts the screenshots on the Xbox store page is fired, they made it look like a Civ game in frozen hell 😆
cinder vessel
Eeeh, I think you just maybe haven't seen many other topdown games?
austere lance
Ohshit grasshopper, Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Anniversary Edition for $10
cinder vessel
I really can't look at sales...I have enough of a backlog as it is 😩
austere lance
The only top-down games I've ever liked were Xcom, Diablo III, Halo Wars, and Ruiner
cinder vessel
If I were smarter I'd look through Howlongtobeat and pick out all my shorter/smaller games and roll through those and then gradually chip away at the longer/"bigger" games I have
austere lance
I tried Age of Wonders: Planetfall and almost fell asleep within 20 minutes
cinder vessel
Aah, yeah, then you probably wouldn't like Frostpunk, it's sorta more active, but it's still a very slow-paced, deliberate game
austere lance
Stellaris damn near put me in a coma, I couldn't even finish the tutorial 😂
bronze wind
Yeah not a big fan of those hyper complex strategy games
austere lance
Why tf is Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition $5 while an older game (Xcom: Enemy Within) is $10, smh
Ohshit, Command and Conquer 3
B r u h, whoever's running this sale is smoking fat rocks if they think Xcom is worth as much as Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Anniversary Edition
Fug it, Sleeping Dogs it is
Commit war crimes against Falmer, I must

Nah i wanna see the difference
I wanna see how long this one takes vs Grand Master
22 hours for Grand Master

@austere lance These are the guys that do that music from Fallen Order
like the alien sounding songs
austere lance
I KNEW IT

its really fucking good

It's such a big patch up (not even counting the new features)
And you can immediately tell from playing a new game which I am rn

Hmm.... I might just start a new game tomorrow
meager panther
Is there is a list of patch notes
winter yew
Genuinely impressive list.

he literally mentioned every bug fix no matter how small

he also patched out most exploits 😅

No thanks.

It's amazing
winter yew
It looks it tbh.
crisp sparrow
a lot of people on reddit were praising it over TOW in terms of story
idle saffron
I watched gameplay, not for me - hope you enjoy it though
tame coral
The writing is amazing and the art style is beautiful
winter yew
It looks too much like a interactive story for me.
tame coral
It's like dnd
I honestly thought it was a weird game but after I played it I fell in love
@crisp sparrow TOW is about monopolies and Disco Elysium is just about politics as a whole.
crisp sparrow
ah ok
tame coral
Both stories are good in their own way
I wouldn't compare them both tbh
Different themes
crisp sparrow
thanks

there was a mod
austere lance
Jurrasic World Evolution is free with Gold next month 👀
full pivot
do they call it Goldblum edition?
austere lance
I gave up on Remnant, it's just too obnoxious to play solo
I want Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition to finish downloading, my Xbox says it has 6 hours left tho 😢
austere lance
I love Sleeping Dogs, haven't played it since it was on Xbox 360 tho. Looking forward to the new version with updated graphics and all DLC's 😆

idle saffron
Nope

It was weird af, switching from third-person shooter/stealth game like Splinter Cell to a fighting game whenever you got close to enemies was fun 😆
cinder vessel
...Alpha Protocol?
austere lance
I never got around to playing that, ngl
tame coral
Ahhh
winter yew
one week
I don't know what to do tbh.
I follow a personal rule of +12 months after release apart from very certain circumstances.
RDR2 is leaning towards being part of that very certain circumstance.
austere lance
Play it
Tbh you might as well "borrow" it, it's making an ungodly amount of money and it's worth playing
bronze wind
Best part
idle saffron
Felt epic
bronze wind
What I was worried about, but didn't happen, was that || the color you choose is final and you don't have access to the others||. Glad they didn't do it that way.
idle saffron
Oh me too! Took a few deciding
