I have a very short attention span when it comes to people on a camera not even trying to have a point.

[willow crypt]

@bronze wind same. I found out about them because of that one tim and Eric music video

[charred badge]

When I cashed out my free lindenbucks allowance I got $150 for it

[dry copper]

That one time and eric?

[charred badge]

and that was way after it lost value

[bronze wind]

I had found a video that someone made for their song Space Song, with 2001 footage. Funny thing is I'm not a huge fan of that song anymore lol

I like their other stuff more

very chill music with very catchy melodies

[dry copper]

This song Myth feels like Oasis smoking weed getting a BJ by Lana Del Ray

[willow crypt]

Nice mood

[charred badge]

People also point at that CSI episode featuring SL as a big turnoff due to the hilarious lack of security

Was it CSI or NCIS? I always forget

[bronze wind]

what's your favorite song @willow crypt

[willow crypt]

https://youtu.be/OS6duOoxctw

I couldn't say, Zoid

[charred badge]

It's also the one that features the main cast running SL on what is apparently the mainframe for all of NCIS

[willow crypt]

But this is one of my faves

[charred badge]

and the only way to cut the connection was killing the whole system

[bronze wind]

I think one of my all time favorites is Elegy To The Void

The little synth tune in the background with the nice chord progression makes me so happy

[dry copper]

My favorite episode of CSI featured Justin Bieber getting shot to death

[charred badge]

instead of using any number of failsafes that really should be built into that sort of thing

like, just cut the LAN cable FFS.

[willow crypt]

Ohhh yeah this is a good one Zoid

[bronze wind]

I love it

[charred badge]

and it should have been at least run in a locked down VM

[bronze wind]

Also Tim Heidecker released a new song recently and it's actually kind of a neat folk song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ff53Vc-ZDc

[dry copper]

Beach House must have a lot of money to pay for the production value of that video

[willow crypt]

He's talented

Yeah idk malarky

[bronze wind]

has such an upbeat tune but the lyrics are so apathetic lol

[willow crypt]

T&E are very popular, they got plenty of mula to make stuff like that

[bronze wind]

yeah I imagine Eric may have helped fund a bit or something

But Beach House is also pretty popular so they likely had some funding

[charred badge]

the casino is kinda fun

[willow crypt]

Ugh

Casinos and games with casino type gameplay make me want to jump off a cliff

[charred badge]

walking into a "new" game that's had years to iterate is pretty refreshing

[bronze wind]

it is time to listen to Elegy to the Void multiple times

[willow crypt]

Lol

Their music is so much better on good speakers

Listening on my phone doesn't do it justice

[bronze wind]

yeah I have it playing while I work

It's on my comp speakers which are decent enough

[willow crypt]

Noice

[bronze wind]

come over I will play it for both of us and we can slow dance while making heartfelt eye contact until we each shed a single tear

and then close our eyes as we go in for a warm hug

ok understandable

[charred badge]

It's really weird that my portable bluetooth speaker is way better than the ones on my monitor, TV, and laptop

[crisp sparrow]

[echo hill]

Bruuhhh UKF was my intro into music lmao

Bringing back memories

[dry copper]

I've been trying to find a dubstep remix of In for the Kill by La Roux for years that dropped off the face of the earth

It's intro is a higher tempo and it has a drum beat in the bg

It starts off fast and doesn't really have any slowing down

It had a more electric vibe to it

Woo, found a sick sounding crossover

Enjoying Thousand Threads a decent bit. Once you're outta the opening area things start to kick into gear somewhat more, see a bunch more people fighting/stealing from each other for no apparent reason.

Giving you ample opportunity to try to help one or the other.

But uhh, gotta make sure you're careful who you're hitting, otherwise you get folks developing a bad opinion of you...Even if you help up the person you hit.

[charred badge]

@daring spear the neverending starchart tutorial popip

[austere lance]

Apparently GameSpot said the map in Grounded is too small for a survival game 🤣🤣🤣

[cinder vessel]

it's not done yet 🤦‍♀️

[austere lance]

But the 20% of the game we have access to is too small 😭

[cinder vessel]

but also that's a terrible joke if it's supposed to be

[charred badge]

Gamespot reviewer? Probably not a joke

[bronze wind]

I mean if they're reviewing it in its current state then what do you expect lmao

[willow crypt]

i laughed

ok maybe i just smiled and a weird sound came out close to that of a laugh

[dry copper]

Horizon Zero Dawn don't know shit about auto setting for optimal experience

The game has two layers of shadows running at the same time

You can lower your shadows to off and the game still has shadows with global illumination

I ended up setting textures and model geometry to high and the game played better than when it was low

[silver sparrow]

I think the term is kek

[charred badge]

hmm, grounded is free on M$ store with gamepass

too bad I'm already commited to another download

[silver sparrow]

[dry copper]

It is too bad. You should cancel that download....Phantasy Star Online is poopy

@daring spear i think it was a delayed response to this, poking fun at a similar issue that's still around in NMS atm

(i was also confused so had to look up through chat to sort out what was happening, outta curiosity, lol)

I've been playing Grounded most of the day. I made a trophy room

[raven frost]

I've been playing

nothing much, tbh

today has just been kinda one of those weird days

like it's the day before you leave on vacation for a week or two and all your stuff is packed up and you don't really have much to do because its all packed up

if that makes sense

it's like a liminal day

a transitionary period

God damn that game is everything I expected 😩

With full cross-play and VR support, including PSVR

[silver sparrow]

#nohnnng

[raven frost]

my only complaint is the FOV is absolutely garbage

hopefully we can improve that

[dry copper]

HZD is alright. The story seems good so far. The graphic optimization is shit, but you can work around it manually.

[willow crypt]

Looking great (squadrons)

[dry copper]

The only thing that bugs me turns out was tied to a performance optimization override that's default on.

[willow crypt]

Story was pretty good yeah

[dry copper]

Turning that off and tweaking manual fixed alot

I ran into this lady shouting from a rock for someone named Brom...I avoided her. For the full ten mins I was in the area killing shit, she's shouting the same three sentences over and over

I haven't tried murdering her but I'm considering it

[willow crypt]

Lol

[dry copper]

"Turns out Broms your love interest and you shot his sister in the head with an arrow. But she didn't die, she just became clinically insane and drooled alot. Brom discovers the truth at the end of the story and stabs you in the heart. Way to go Khaleesi

I may have made up that story arc

[willow crypt]

Good story

[dry copper]

I heard that obsidian rpg space game has a lot of story arcs no?

[daring spear]

An ant got all my jerky. From the third floor. The hell

[austere lance]

Every companion has a story arc @dry copper

And some side missions have em

And the main story obviously does (with multiple endings, too)

[silver sparrow]

avowed?

[daring spear]

oh yeah, a wolf spider shoved me off the rake in Grounded and my dead body fell into the spider den under it. so that was fun to retrieve

Wow, trhe august humble choice bundle looks good.

A far cry from most monthly choice bundles which are mostly meh

@echo hill I use the FJ/Para shoulders to make the shoulders look more like Mk VI shoulders.

[echo hill]

Oh yeah those are a good choice

Would make sense with the helmet too

[echo hill]

Actually I bet it sounds pretty good. Reverie is 👌🏻👌🏻

[austere lance]

I stand by my statement that Halo 4 is gonna have the longest-lasting PC playerbase

[fluid hare]

Why do you think that?

[austere lance]

All the other ones have died out quick, H4 is more modern-feeling tho so the multiplayer will probably last the longest

[echo hill]

Bruh I'm still playing 6-8ish hours of reach every day

[austere lance]

Lol

[fluid hare]

I play H3 custom games with some friends of mine.

[echo hill]

Granted, Reach is literally my favorite game of all time

[austere lance]

Idk, imo H4 was the last one with Halo-feeling multiplayer. H5 just feels like CoD and was obviously trying to cater to both communities

I might have 700 hours in H4

I wanna go by the frisbee and investigate the hole there with the Ant Shrine, unfortunately the Broodmother lives by the frisbee

zug, do you have HZD?

On PC

I learned concentration in the game but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Nevermind. I figured it out. Turns out concentration sucks balls

It barely slows down anything

[willow crypt]

@dry copper no, played on ps4 when it came out

can't remember what that even is lol

oh that's right, because it's a mechanic that's used in too many games

[winter yew]

anyone played wasteland 2 here?

if so, what's up with this motherfucking patrick larsen?

that normal for this cunt to one shot everyone and wipe my entire team in 2 turns?

This fucking piece of shit gets like 6 shots per turn, has his turn every other time, motherfucker deals like 40 damage per shot, reloading jamming doesn't matter to him he just continues to unload, is that supposed to be a boss, or am I fucking supposed to fail here.

and if I am, as it's clearly structured to fucking murder me, why is the game ending, once he does?

lol that's pathetic

he gets crits of 20, then normal hits of 40. 😄

There's always fucking something...

this piece of shit game is filled with so much rng...

love when my 90% chance hits don't land 3 times in a row.

fucking finally. solid 10 tries later, dozens of jammed guns, point blank misses, fkn horseshit in general we did it. And once he exploded he didn't perma killed anyone this time! Wooo!

Oh yeah, turns out it was a final boss.

And killing him, broke literally everything.

all the trapped people are now free, but not, person I was supposed to rescue fucking died for no reason, there's now like dozens of fkn pod people, fuck knows from where they came from.

Good shit.

Fuck me what a broken mess.

You wanna know a fun fact? This dude I was supposed to rescue, I already kinda did.

He's guarded by like 3 shitty animals.

[raven frost]

I love it when I accidentally defeat the final boss while casually on my stroll through the countryside

[winter yew]

I didn't want to deal with them, conserve ammo, so I used animal husbandry to tame them. Guess what. Once you tame them, you can't do anything about it, and this cunt wouldn't talk to me due to hostiles outside. Only, you know, they're no longer hostile. 😄

had to reload, knew what's that way, went the other way, and boom. final boss.

welp good news and bad news

good news I found a rocket launcher, bad news, this cunt's "killing" whoever talks to him, so blowing him up isn't the best.

[dry copper]

You're a millionaire, but you only own a million roaches?

[winter yew]

by killing I mean it's like a slim chance he kills em out right, mostly they just bleed out on the floor.

either way, sending a rocket their way isn't wisest.

[dry copper]

What game?

[winter yew]

still the same

[dry copper]

Wasteland 2?

[dry copper]

Sounds like you need a sniper rifle.

[winter yew]

I have two. can sometimes even use em. By that I mean sometimes he doesn't 2 shot both of my snipers.

[dry copper]

Time to get.......Surgical

I've never played Wasteland 2 I unno

Turn based strategy isn't my forte

[winter yew]

I don't mind these types of games, when they feel good you know? When they're not designed to fuck you over on every single turn.

played lotsa niche stuff too, enjoyed it greatly. Fallout Tactics, The Fall: Last Days of Gaia, that sort of stuff.

The Fall especially I enjoyed. All the little stuff, like, searching for water, or being able to name your guns, person getting attached to their weapon. Cool mechanics like that. 😄

Poets but fictional

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZJiQSmJ9g

The song grand canyon reminds me of a poem from the biography of Bertrand Russell

"What I have lived for"

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.

• Bertrand Russell

that's the superior version of Angel

https://youtu.be/sYR9z3hVI8I?list=RDMMDh262qUpcEY

[dry copper]

Interesting. I don't know if I'm a fan of the grunge nasal gutteral singing. Reminds me too much of Nickelback. The instrumentals are good though.

[daring spear]

I sent it for the lyrics mostly

like I'm looking for the glitches to break out of this matrix

[austere lance]

I feel like people who trash on Nickleback never heard their 90's stuff, lol

[dry copper]

I don't trash on nickelback. I've heard all of their songs. They all sound the same. You could almost stack their songs one after the other and they tell a story without changing tempo.

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/T8B3lZfQOkk

[daring spear]

calling them generic/repetitive is fair imo

okay but

[dry copper]

I don't think it is. They set the standard in a lot of ways. Their success burned a trail that many followed

[daring spear]

https://youtu.be/tzSFIIe3Fxo?list=RDMMDh262qUpcEY more poets

Is different

[daring spear]

Must Be Nice is the only very recent song I like by Nickelback tbh

[austere lance]

Honestly the entirety of Curb is hella different from the Nickleback most people think of

Very early Post Grunge

[dry copper]

The only song I can honestly say of Nickelbacks that resonated with me was If Everyone Cared...largely because I felt it was an important song.

More than it was moving or sentimental.

It paid tribute to earth shakers

[austere lance]

In Silver Side Up they remade Just For from the Curb album and de-Grunged the hell outta it, lol

[dry copper]

I saw this movie in theaters...Made me wish Mark got back into music.

it was the singer Miljenko Matijevic from Steelheart.

Horizon Zero Dawn is three times cheaper than Death Stranding

[willow crypt]

Hwut

Random, but DS was more rewarding in terms of exploration than HZD

[crisp sparrow]

yeah DS is ₹4000 ($53) for me

while HZD is ₹1099 ($15)

[willow crypt]

Whats that in $

US dollars

[crisp sparrow]

edited

[willow crypt]

Wow

It is older

[crisp sparrow]

yeah but

I seriously doubt any indian bought DS at that price

aside from maybe like a couple few super rich people

[willow crypt]

Welp, 15 is a good price for hzd

You should def play

[crisp sparrow]

also NMS is 24 dollars here when not discounted

[willow crypt]

Though I hear pc port is meh

[crisp sparrow]

yeah I seriously doubt I can run that game on my system

well it would technically run but abysmally

[bronze wind]

It sucks cause it's good most of the time but some of the cooler areas chug, like the || cauldrons ||

[willow crypt]

Like come on

A big studio can't produce a more playable port

I'm sure it's more difficult when doing it from consoles to the wide variety of PC's, but still...

[bronze wind]

It's perfectly playable lol, not as good as it probably could be but it's not some broken dumpster fire

I could get better performance if I tweaked settings a bit too, I just never want to

[willow crypt]

That's just the essense I'm getting from other peoples' point of views when I see em

@austere lance Good. The game runs like a fucked up mixture of constipated diarrhea.

You get moments of shit and then shit just stops.

When it's working it screams SHIiiiiiiiiIIIITT....When it's not it screams silence

[bronze wind]

is the shit good in this situation? Can't tell what you're saying

[dry copper]

I am enjoying it.

...but I have pretty low standards.

I'm thinking it might be cheaper for me to just buy a whole new motherboard with either a ryzen chipset or an LGA1151 and just upgrade beyond the limits of this old system than to stick with this LGA1150 holding out for an i7-4790k

ok guys

I bought ark

and I already regret it

please help

[spark wharf]

I got ark, loaded a mp game once. Have not played since.

but have played lots on ps4 before they ruined it with updates

[gentle wave]

Should I do single, pve, or pvp?

oh boy

[spark wharf]

uh, how do you like to play? I would imagine PvP would be 'rust' like and have tht kind of playerbase

servers I joined online everyone had huge bases all these dino's and I got like 5fps

[gentle wave]

I dunno how I like to play

fps is not a issue, I am playing on geforce now

[spark wharf]

I think you take your char between worlds

like you don't even get to choose the look of your char? Hope I am thinking of the right game

[gentle wave]

you do

but, it sucks

[spark wharf]

I had heaps of fun playing pve splitscreen on ps4. Building taming dino's, heaps of content just in building tbh

[gentle wave]

all the chars look but ugly

butt

hot

[spark wharf]

my char was is a black chick with a HUGE booty I'm pretty sure. either ark or rust forget which one but everyone laughed at me as I am a real deep voiced male.

[gentle wave]

like that?

[spark wharf]

I prolly made that. maybe it was rust, you couldnt even choose the sex of your char

[gentle wave]

uhhh, so i just saw where Empyrion has supposedly left Early Access...

On July 23 they were still sitting at alpha 12.3. On August 5 they suddenly jumped to version 1.0

[dry copper]

@spark wharf Stars End looks like an asset flip

[winter yew]

oh god damn this pathetic game gets better and better

now turns out, my less skilled doctor was getting robbed of all her medicine that this retarded auto distribution system was giving away to a more skilled doctor.

Now that this more skilled doctor is lying on the ground, with her guts out, I can't revive her, cause she has all the medicine on her person, and my other doctor has none.

For some reason you can't look your downed allies.

This fucking broken mess is a gift that keeps on giving. 😄

[dry copper]

Pick up the body and throw it around a bit. Stick your finger in its butt. Fixed

[winter yew]

and stealing, cause now I need to fucking repeat this whole fucking map. yay me.

that's not how this fucking piece of shit game works.

I can't access the unconscious bitches inventory in ANY way.

[dry copper]

Sounds like you're playing Kenshi

[winter yew]

Nope, still this pathetic wasteland 2.

In kenshi you can do whatever the hell you want. An actual good game.

[dry copper]

Can you put your finger in butts?

[winter yew]

Just lacking in sense of direction and story I guess.

Literal sandbox.

[dry copper]

"Welcome to Kenshi. There's a mod for that"

[spark wharf]

@dry copper 2 years in and still has working servers, is that normal for asset flips? ended up buying it because one of the three devs is called Dev Mac. Have to support a mac any mack. Price of 1-2 beers, hope its worth it.

The Scientology one.

Wow. I've never heard of this game.

and I'm so glad.

[charred badge]

this is so fun.

[dry copper]

I wonder if Days Gone will ever be ported to PC.

How was Death Stranding on PC, performance wise?

Never heard much in the way of complaints about its performance

[winter yew]

@charred badge I love the demo for Ex-Zodiac

the dev is very talkative on his discord and streams

[dry copper]

It looks like Starfox

[charred badge]

@spark wharf sorry for not noticing. It's a full game download and your local PC runs it.

[winter yew]

@dry copper yes, EDF has been totally compared to Starship Troopers.

[charred badge]

It basically is starfox

So good

I don't understand how people enjoy Empyrion with its current UI...

[dry copper]

Some people get off on spreadsheets.

The inventory management system turned me off it completely

I like the variety. I hate the mess.

@raven frost As someone with an Index, do you need the external sensors setup for it to work or are there internal sensors like in the Rift?

[dry copper]

I reaaaaaally hate this focus blur bs.

Depth of field sucks ass

[daring spear]

Built a staircase up to the porch in Grounded. It's not a finished area but at least I have that way up when it is

@dry copper you need external trackers, ye

[dry copper]

She even has it on her IMDB

[raven frost]

so, funny thing right

[dry copper]

The char Aloy is modeled on actress Hannah Hoekstra

[raven frost]

I found that there was this port in the front of the index

[austere lance]

VCR

[dry copper]

That's for your new cellphone

[raven frost]

so apparently this has no official purpose, lol

[dry copper]

It's an expansion port.

[austere lance]

For VCR's

[dry copper]

Of course.

[raven frost]

people have gotten creative with it

I really like the lcd panel idea, looks cyberpunk af

[austere lance]

Severe lacking of anime waifu eyes

[raven frost]

lowkey reminds me of when people put googly eyes on the vive

[coarse swift]

not enough ahegao

[austere lance]

True that

[dry copper]

I think that valve is going to be the first official support system for augmented reality gaming and use that expansion port to relay collision data for your real environment for use in VR.

[raven frost]

eh, I have a feeling that the frunk's official use is gonna be related to wireless vr

maybe

[dry copper]

Like a wifi?

[raven frost]

something like that?

I know the vive's wireless adapter worked on wifi

so it's not impossible that it could be something like that

only problem is, I'm not seeing anywhere the cables disconnect on the index itseld

[dry copper]

So you've got an older model that doesn't have the disconnection yet

Basically the technology is still SDK

Or at least DK

[raven frost]

I would hope not

[dry copper]

Wouldn't surprise me.

They'll call it innovation

If they have to admit they lied and that port was never going to be functional for the existing purpose for it, they'll just toss out some crap expansion of some graphical processor

No more do you have to buy a super duper GPU...The HMD has its own

Though I can't see that not being hot af under load

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/9/21361157/microsoft-xbox-series-s-console-leak-controller-packaging

[unique lark]

It's the same controller but with a different dpad

[austere lance]

It's a regular Xbox controller with the d-pad from the Elites, I'm ok with it tbh

Most importantly, that box confirms the Xbox Series S

[wet warren]

Yeah if they already have a good design for the controller then they might as well stick with it

[willow crypt]

i do like that d-pad design

[austere lance]

I'm defo going for a Series S instead of a Series X

[balmy plaza]

I'm probably going to stick with the xbox one x for a while and get a ps4

Double coverage

[daring spear]

I'm more curious about that extra button around the menu and back buttons

Looks like it has a download symbol on it but I can't completely tell

[unique lark]

Looks like an upload symbol

[cinder vessel]

know i mentioned it before, but Thousand Threads is really chill & cool

nothing super deep, but some pleasant landscapes and sometimes interesting stories to pick up on

...I just realized I don't think I can watch some folks play VR games...I think it gives me more discomfort than playing the games themselves

Like the whole nausea/motion sickness some people get from playing, I sorta feel tinges of watching some people play that move their heads a bunch

[willow crypt]

makes sense

[daring spear]

Kinda like the anxiety of watching videos where people lean over super high drops?

[winter yew]

I hate those videos

even playing games with heights involved messes with me, sweaty palms

A Hat In Time had certain sections that really ramped up that anxiety x)

as well as the ball race game on Tower Unite

[daring spear]

Ahh

[winter yew]

like it doesn't make ANY sense to me but fuck

I should give Mirror's Edge a run and see how I react to that

[silver sparrow]

i get in-game vertigo and can feel my nuggets contract and my skin-hair stand up

especially if i get caught off guard by it

[winter yew]

nuggets lmfao

[raven frost]

I remember I used to be able to beat Mirror's Edge in like a little under an hour

couldn't do it now though, it's been so long since then

on a somewhat related note though I can run through Portal in 45 minutes

[austere lance]

I'm more curious about that extra button around the menu and back buttons
It's a screenshot button!

[acoustic solar]

It should be a press for screenshot and hold for video highlight

that'd be sick

[winter yew]

so basically what the Nintendo Switch has :p

[acoustic solar]

I suppose yes

[wet warren]

The screenshot button is a nice little thing. And the box shows it’s compatible for the current Xbox One to. So that’s nice

[cinder vessel]

one of my games suddenly stopped recognizing right trigger input

[winter yew]

:((

thats annoying

[acoustic solar]

:(((

hah

[winter yew]

hee

[acoustic solar]

Would you say it's 10% annoying?

[winter yew]

more like 60%

[raven frost]

@cinder vessel @daring spear do people really get vertigo from watching people play games like that? I've never experienced that even playing certain vr games

[acoustic solar]

Oh, I had heard that acey said 10 percent

[daring spear]

Not from watching games for me, just real life videos

[wet warren]

The right stick on my controller just recently got drift so that’s not fun

[acoustic solar]

I guess you aint in charge no more

[raven frost]

ah

idk, vr is kinda weird

[acoustic solar]

yay reference almost as old as me

[raven frost]

I have a fear of heights but it doesn't manifest in VR at all

[acoustic solar]

Sorry Acey I was making ref to the movie Home Alone with those lame ass lines. forgiveness pleasu

[cinder vessel]

I can play VR stuff and even watch videos from heights looking down and not get a sense of discomfort, but for some reason some VR videos of people playing and looking around rapidly give me a very slight tinge of blegh

[acoustic solar]

NMS helped me get over my fear of infinite distance

not completely but mostly

it's weird because it's not a fear in my head, just a way my body reacts

[raven frost]

I like how I'm afraid of heights BUT I'd totally skydive if given the chance

I think I'm more afraid of like

immediate heights?

does that make sense?

[winter yew]

Lol I probably haven't seen Home Alone in more time than you've been walking the Earth @acoustic solar

i don't know the lines at all

except for like...

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal

[acoustic solar]

How many years?

[winter yew]

well let's see

it came out in 1990

[acoustic solar]

I was born in 1990, so hah

[winter yew]

I remember seeing it a handful of times around the holidays in the early 90s, and have no memory of it since lol

I was born in 1985

[acoustic solar]

Right, so I was alive when you saw it last

:3

[raven frost]

I'm not awake enough to math this all out

[winter yew]

hahah

BUT YEAH, Great movie

[acoustic solar]

and it had a great first sequel

[winter yew]

very true

[acoustic solar]

second one, absolute trash

[winter yew]

I just heard some little kid outside

'i luv rock and rolll'

[wet warren]

Third one is worse tbh

[raven frost]

merry animal, you filthy Christmas

[winter yew]

haha

[acoustic solar]

lol

Just for clarity sake, the exact quote is "Keep the change, ya filthy animal"

[winter yew]

no no

the gangster in the movie says 'merry christmas' then shoots someone off screen

the fake gangster movie in the movie

[acoustic solar]

he never says merry christmas

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/IHcD5nRdwDk

ya sure bout that?

[acoustic solar]

That's edited. not the original quote

[winter yew]

okay maybe thats the second one

[acoustic solar]

did they do that again in the second one? I forgot

you're probably right tho

[winter yew]

sure nuff

ugggggh

I need movies in my life again

[acoustic solar]

what's stopping you, if i may ask

[winter yew]

sitting at home on Netflix doesn't feel the same as going to AMC and getting Godzilla IMAX

[acoustic solar]

Speaking of, are you aware of the next Godzilla movie

[winter yew]

you bet I am

it got delayed to next May

[acoustic solar]

It took the spot of Matrix 4 and that got moved to 2022. makes me sad

[winter yew]

ugh

[acoustic solar]

but at least there's something good in its place

[winter yew]

I don't know why they think we needed another Matrix movie lol

[acoustic solar]

because the sequels didn't do the original justice

[raven frost]

because hollywood is dead

[acoustic solar]

They want to fix that

[winter yew]

I hope so

[acoustic solar]

I mean, personally I loved Reloaded and Revolutions

but generally speaking it wasn't well recieved

[winter yew]

the only thing I like about Reloaded was the soundtrack

[acoustic solar]

the fights were pretty fun too

[winter yew]

I guess that highway thing was pretty cool

[acoustic solar]

the highway scene is pretty much the high point of the movie

I liked the 100 agents fight, and the fight with those mercenaries too

[winter yew]

yeah that was pretty neat

[echo hill]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

sorry key got stuck

[winter yew]

no u

BEEhave

[wide kestrel]

We will never forgive you, Bee. Eons will pass, your soul trapped within the mortal world forever wandering, forever wishing for the forgiveness you will never receive. Your sanity will erode beyond conscious thought, feeling overwhelming grief and regret over your actions and the thought that we will not forgive you. These words will echo in your mind and your last vestiges of mind will scream in torment over what could have been if you had not done what you did.

[raven frost]

astroneer more like computerman's wild fucking adventure to fucking drill to the center of the earth so he can get astronium early game and farm bits

[echo hill]

thats a lot of words im not reading that

damnit i read it

[wide kestrel]

good

it describes your fate

astronium

god DAMNIT

I GOT ALL THE WAY HERE ONLY TO FIND OUT I CAN'T DIG THROUGH THE MATERIAL

FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCK

[cinder vessel]

ooooffff

[raven frost]

||I HAVEN'T EVEN ACTIVATED A NODE YET SO I CAN'T USE THE CORE TO WARP UP TO THE SURFACE YET SO I GOTTA WALK BACK UP||

[winter yew]

Dude

[raven frost]

this game gives me a fucking anyuerism, why the hell do I fucking play it

[winter yew]

I’ve been playing Astroneer a lot the past week

[raven frost]

I put like

100? hours into a save

and it made me want to kill myself

[winter yew]

I think I’ve ||activated 4 planets now?||

[raven frost]

||I've done all of them, seen the ending and everything||

[winter yew]

To be fair though it’s been a multiplayer session and my friend and I have worked out how to haul the necessary equipment around to do so lol

[raven frost]

||I missed out on ONE of those fucking wanderer things by accident and it broke meaning I couldn't unlock the wanderer suit and it actually killed me||

[winter yew]

Damn 😦

I got the Tundra suit

Funniest thing ever

[raven frost]

I like the mars suit

whatever the name is

[winter yew]

Looks like a fat drunk baby in a diaper running in slow motion

[raven frost]

do be kinda thicc doe

[winter yew]

That one is cool

The game has been a good change of pace for me and a good source of entertainment

Had someone playing with me that didn’t know about some of the plants having a mean streak

[raven frost]

I don't hate astroneer but it genuinely makes my blood boil

like idk why

it shouldn't

[winter yew]

I told her to go find something for us to throw in the research chamber and she runs off to the mountains and tries to grab one of those damn plants that yeets you if you touch it

And she screams in to her mic and I’m like holy shit lol

She’s all ‘I just spent 10 minutes trying to get up here and this bitch plant throws me’

The times I’ve been mad at Astroneer have mostly been my fault for being too cocky and thinking going too far is a good idea

Like the last time I played before 1.0 hit, I drove a truck down into a cave and died when I rolled over a cliff edge right into a stabbing mushroom plant

[raven frost]

idk what it is about astroneer but it makes me mad - but at the same time, I always come back to play it

like I play it out of spite

[winter yew]

It gave me something to play with someone that didn’t know anything about it and I had to relearn as well because how much has changed over the year

Im gonna head off though, goodnight

The contrast between countryside and city is very important

Hopefully they didn't show all of the different kinds of environments though

I love that album

But wtf

[balmy plaza]

Seriously underrated album

Excellent live shown too. Wish I saw it

[spiral pulsar]

Love it

Thought Contagion >>>

They experimented a lot and for me it was a success

Tho they did something more classic with Drones

[willow crypt]

I need to see them live one day

[balmy plaza]

My favourite was the dark side I think

They say they're doing classic stuff again next album

[willow crypt]

Want more stuff like exogenesis symphony

https://youtu.be/YEH98_Ha2aA

[spiral pulsar]

Yeah the dark side was sick

Actually I saw a concert at a cinema

One or 2 years ago

It was quality

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/br9L5C66GTU

[bronze wind]

i remember seeing this at some online thing a bit ago

it doesn't really look that much more interesting except for some more dinos. Gameplay still looks kinda generic though.

[austere lance]

I like the War Effort

Where the community affects the map and events get caused by them

Plus you get to choose your landing zone and drop in like an ODST

[bronze wind]

The "emergence event" seemed interesting but it all sorta just looks like big empty map where I shoot things. I wish the guns seemed more interesting. Maybe they'll have more info on those

[austere lance]

I like the landing zones thing. You can land closer to the objective to try and get to it faster but closer=swarms of dinos, or you can safely land further away and have to travel longer

[bronze wind]

I just hope it shapes up more during the early access period. Or that there's a lot that they haven't shared yet.

[austere lance]

The gameplay loop is definitely something I can get into. Drop in, do a 20 minute mission, and head to evac zone and hold off horde til the dropship arrives

[coarse swift]

Beat RoR2 now... and noticed that the WIP alt abilities were all cut.

:C

[austere lance]

There's different characters you play as with different weapon specialties and abilities. So far they've shown Rosie, who's a heavy gunner with deployable electric fences

[bronze wind]

I can see it being fun a couple times, just need to be shown stuff to actually make me want to play more than those couple of times. Honestly if they just showed more difficult looking gameplay that would help

All the clips are of dinos dying lol, show me a swarm overtaking the players or something. not the extrememly generic grey weapon in first person shooting a big dino that is dying

[austere lance]

They'll show the varieties of mutant dinos soon, there's a decent amount. Funky ones like electric velociraptors 😆

[bronze wind]

I'm sure some peeps will enjoy it, doesn't look like something I'm super into playing though. I'll probably like to watch it more than play, if it's interesting to watch

[raven frost]

your MOM's an electric velociraptor

[bronze wind]

i can't deny it

[austere lance]

I'm all for it cuz sometimes you just gotta turn brain off and turn hordes of mutant dinos into meaty chunks 😆

With ridiculously over-sized guns

[bronze wind]

yeh mindless horde mode stuff can be fun. though I'd be more interested if they had a more borderlands style of weapons/loot. Obviously very hard to make that though

[austere lance]

It doesn't have fancy weapons, just beeg ones. 80's sci fi movie style, lol. I can definitely get with that

[bronze wind]

lol I guess I'm also comparing them to the new 2077 footage too, since I just watched that yesterday

[austere lance]

Beeg guns, beeg mutant dinos, and beeg hordes you can turn into meaty paste. Reminds me of my childhood playing Serious Sam 😩

[bronze wind]

those weapons look pretty sick

[austere lance]

I like the lifepath choices in Cyberpunk

I'm doing either Nomad or Street Kid

[bronze wind]

yeah def starting street kid

corpo seems like a good second playthrough choice cause it has a solid contrast to the other two

[austere lance]

The lifepath trailer did a damn good job showing their differences

[bronze wind]

yeah

I wonder how flexible the cyber weapons are

like can I have one mantis arm and one gorilla arm?

that'd be badass

[austere lance]

Lol. I think they'll answer that when they fix melee and show it off

[bronze wind]

I'll probably just wait for release at this point, they've shown a lot

The katana animations looked cool though

[austere lance]

Yee, that was very much an execution he did with the katana

I must bring back my Dishonored ways and stealth the game with a sword

[coarse swift]

So

The Captain is rather nice

Didnt like him at first

[austere lance]

This came out
https://youtu.be/fE0gEcfvBvc

It's on all platforms

[cinder vessel]

skullventures

[willow crypt]

UUUuuuh

[raven frost]

still mad they took wallrunning out of cp2077

[austere lance]

It wasn't really in it to begin with, they just had you climb a wall and stick to it with Mantis blades

[raven frost]

I just want another titanfall damnit!

[austere lance]

Lol

Same

It's the only shooter I play anymore

Legion and Tone 😩

[dry copper]

A living skull.

"I can't get my family to stop fighting so I resurrected the dead to stop them instead"

"Talk sense into them dead person"

[austere lance]

I found a weeb who was actually good with Ronin, fucking hell it was terrifying

[dry copper]

Is that a game or was he a samurai?

[austere lance]

Titanfall 2

[spiral pulsar]

Hey boys i'm searching for the name of a game that, i think, has been canceled. It was an adventure game where you are a baby/child demon, your parents died from hunters and you try to escape while evolving.

Some gameplay videos were released

But then, no news of this game

[bronze wind]

oh yeah I remember that

[austere lance]

It got canceled, sadly

Project Wight

[dry copper]

You are a baby child demon that evolves....

[spiral pulsar]

Oh yeah

It was also Darkborn

[bronze wind]

I thought it was called Darkborn

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, it got named Darkborn later

[bronze wind]

yeah

[austere lance]

Project Wight was its working title

[spiral pulsar]

It looked insane

[dry copper]

Cuterrifying

[austere lance]

Game looked cool, sucks it got canceled

[raven frost]

I wonder how that one game that got shown during Xbone's launch that got cancelled would've been

dragon something?

dragonblood?

[dry copper]

I think I tested that game...

Darkborne...

[bronze wind]

Didn't the devs of this game go on to show off that extremely bad looking Doom-rhythm clone

hell something

[raven frost]

hellraiser?

[austere lance]

You were a baby monster getting hunted by Vikings and slowly becoming more badass as you got older @dry copper

[raven frost]

SCALEBOUND

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/cXa0FlYQGMU

[dry copper]

Did they release a version of the game for testing? I can remember playing this.

[raven frost]

THAT WAS IT

[spiral pulsar]

Idk why they cancelled, it was their first game moreover

[austere lance]

RIP Scalebound

Tbh it didn't look too good

[bronze wind]

Hellsinger is what it's called

[raven frost]

I wonder what that would've been like if it'd released

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/RR4c3wsFsMM

[dry copper]

PIKACHU I CHEW YOU!

[bronze wind]

Idk I thought Scalebound looked cool, would have liked to see more of it if it had stayed under development

[raven frost]

... wow.

I really hate the protagonist

[bronze wind]

The only thing I didn't like was he was kind of just a Dante from DMC clone

[raven frost]

that's what I was thinking

[bronze wind]

But otherwise I don't really care about protag personalities in hack and slash type games

[dry copper]

He's like the emo kid from Devil May Cry

[bronze wind]

Like, I didn't ever really like Dante either lol

[dry copper]

You want him to lose

[bronze wind]

But the games were fun

[dry copper]

Crap

Was that Dante?

[bronze wind]

Dante was the main protagonist

Then there was the other guy, his brother I think, Virgil

without guns

piqued my interest

[austere lance]

Hyperscape is out

[silver sparrow]

cool?

[bronze wind]

it was basically out before wasn't it? just open beta or something

[austere lance]

Hyper Scape was on pc for a month or so, now it's officially starting Season 1 and landed on consoles

[bronze wind]

ahh didn't know it wasn't on consoles yet

[austere lance]

Came out today 👍

[silver sparrow]

will go look

[raven frost]

ha ha wow

Halo Infinite just got delayed to 2021

[silver sparrow]

(infinite delay)

[meager panther]

Halo delayed to 2021

Rip

[bronze wind]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CzNOD7ukMA

[meager panther]

Xbox launching November

[bronze wind]

oof at the timing of those two announcements lol

[meager panther]

I think it was intentional

To mask the delay

[bronze wind]

Oh yeah Im sure

but Halo is absolutely one of the selling points

[meager panther]

Yeah LMAO

[bronze wind]

Not that people won't buy it for Halo later of course

[meager panther]

I have no idea what Microsoft is thinking

[bronze wind]

Probably would rather have it released more polished

Cause a bad Halo on launch would be worse I think

[austere lance]

"It is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or the overall success of the game to ship it this holiday"
Good, fuck crunch. Delay as long as you need

[bronze wind]

Yeah like it's a good move for the team, just interested how it'll impact the launch. I imagine anyone who was buying an xbox probably isn't going to decide not to just for that reason. But some might wait for Halo

[austere lance]

One game shouldn't determine your choice for buying a console, imo. Hell, not even 5 games

[bronze wind]

I mean ideally no but that's how it works for some

[austere lance]

[bronze wind]

I'm glad pretty much every XSX game is coming to PC at least so I don't actually have to choose between consoles lol

[austere lance]

Sad, but relieved tbh

[austere lance]

Oops, Halo server is going wild and I may have told someone off

A bunch of Sony fan bois raided it after the Halo delay and I got annoyed

[echo hill]

Console wars in 2020 😤

They're literally catering to different audiences

[austere lance]

I'm not kidding about the raid, a stupid amount of trolls showed up 😬

[echo hill]

So annoying

[austere lance]

At first it was just like two new people being shits so I didn't care and it was mostly calm, then an ungodly amount of new names showed up screeching about Series X being pointless and blah blah blah

[daring spear]

Imagine getting that upset that theres a console besides your preferred one

[bronze wind]

I mean that's sorta what happend on both sides of that argument lol

[daring spear]

I repeat my statement

[charred badge]

did scalebound ever transition to existing?

[humble trout]

My friends play on the PC or PS4. And stores primarily caters for playstation. Xbox is literally non-existent in my country. I think this one determines also what console people will buy at launch.

Sadly we're probably years away from it

[raven frost]

finna call it now - we've been in the air and under the sea, the next location's gonna be underground

[willow crypt]

Hey that'd be fun

Or on the moon

Or another planet entirely

They really captured my imagination with infinite

[raven frost]

watch it be an ordinary city and everyone's just like "wtf"

[willow crypt]

Haha 👎

[raven frost]

I doubt it though, bioshock's always been iconic for their exotic locations

[willow crypt]

They will definitely step outside the box
