Btw, I just saw some news about tomorrow's GTAO update (with new island, heist, etc). I didn't know there's gonna be a new upgradable submarine HQ (sorta like the yacht I assume) https://twitter.com/tezfunz2/status/1338744828197294080?s=21

Submarine:
2-3 million is good to start, in case you want to spend big on upgrades, pump that up to 10 million.

Submarine HQ for the non clausterphobic 😜

I feel like if I was a major player in that if be obligated to have one

Seeing as its 80% of my job

[fleet moat]

I'm also looking forward to the music being added, and the DJs.

[full pivot]

Oh totally minor aspect of 2077 because I haven't heard much on it; love the radio stations and music

Again though its stuff that's very much up my alley

[fleet moat]

That is wonderful! I the music in GTA. Awesome aspect I would love in other video games. So cool CP has it too

Huh. I just realized the GTA DLC may roll out in a just couple of hours.

[full pivot]

Ofc more synthwavey industrial rock type stuff than GTA

[fleet moat]

I'll still enjoy it.

I'm sure.

[full pivot]

Haha wasn't worried just a heads up is all

[fleet moat]

The game seems so up my alley from everything you all describe.

[full pivot]

||I really wish boost jump and double jump weren't so fucking expensive 😭||

I finally got a sniper rifle tho 😁

[fleet moat]

I just need to be patient.

[full pivot]

I used to hate sniping and then my dad said that I should be good at it since there are so many prolific women snipers in history haha

[fleet moat]

That's funny

Sniping can be a lot of fun. But it does depend on the game.

[full pivot]

And its very much a patience thing sometimes too

Which is also why it was good for me to practice

[fleet moat]

Exactly. Re: being strategic.

[full pivot]

Nowadays I always run Infiltrator on mass effect too (sniper class)

Just gotta trust my instincts too cuz my aim is pretty good usually but if I over think it ill miss

Stealth is kinda the same deal though, impatience is a big problem for me

[fleet moat]

Yeah. I'm now curious to watch what snipers are like on CP from streams.

[full pivot]

I was really good at it in MGSV

[fleet moat]

I'm curious what the scopes are like. Can you upgrade weapons?

[full pivot]

Yeah its a mod slot

The first one I picked up eas trash tier and didn't have one but the second one had a 8x I think?

4 or 8

It would highlight explosive items on the map as red

[fleet moat]

That's awesome.

[full pivot]

I think it had ||smart capability|| too

[sleek cloud]

I have a sniper but can't use until level 20

[fleet moat]

So weapons you can purchase and also find randomly, from NPC drops, etc?

[sleek cloud]

Find them anywhere pretty much

Can also craft them if you have the parts

[full pivot]

Its very borderlands with weaps

[sleek cloud]

I found mine on a roof whilst looking for wall art

Gunplay does feel very much like Borderlands

[full pivot]

Well also how minibosses will drop blue and purple stuff

Regular dudes drop only up to green

[sleek cloud]

Yeah

[fleet moat]

Cool cool. I like the flexibility then.

[full pivot]

https://youtu.be/XfUo2mPYQ2E I really like this wun, judge all you want haha

I know its edgy af and idc

[sleek cloud]

There's a synthwave playlist on Spotify which has some decent tunes on there

[fleet moat]

The playlists include music from CP?

[full pivot]

I think teenage Athena is just getting indulged too much in this game lmao

[sleek cloud]

I think it does, redhot

It's nice to get lost in a game again

[full pivot]

They have playlists of some of the radio stations too

[sleek cloud]

Last game I got lost in a game was maybe borderlands and Kingdome Come

[full pivot]

I should start adding cheesy one liners to some of my screenshots lmao

[thorn dawn]

I think you just re-invented snapchat 😄

[full pivot]

Starlink? Am I confusing that with something else?

[bronze wind]

There's a game that's like starfox called starlink: battle for atlas

There's also an experimental wifi product called starlink

[full pivot]

Isn't there also a bethedsa game?

[bronze wind]

That's Starfield

But yeah very similar names lol

[full pivot]

Outer Wilds Outer Worlds again 😭

[bronze wind]

True 😔

[full pivot]

I did wanna try the starfox type one

[bronze wind]

Same, glad it's free cause it did look cool. Just didn't wanna spend money on it lol

[full pivot]

Not to be confused with StarControl

[bronze wind]

Or Starcraft

[full pivot]

Ubisoft launcher only I'm guessing; I might be able to figure out my login haha

[bronze wind]

Yeah I think I'm logged in but we'll see lol

[winter yew]

[bronze wind]

goose

[winter yew]

Always

[full pivot]

I remember in Spore I was in an eternal war with Duckulons

[winter yew]

Ok, I'll let you two get back to what you were talking about

[bronze wind]

I barely remember the spore galactic stage

I think when I played I was too young to understand what I was doing

[full pivot]

I remember Duckulons because they wouldnt go away

[bronze wind]

Yeah all I remember is most things hating me and then I'd get attacked

[winter yew]

. . . What am I looking at?...

[full pivot]

I remember them looking angrier

Duckulon

[winter yew]

Huh

[full pivot]

I think I used the editor and remade them so I could use them in adventure stuff

As like generic enemies

I got so ridiculous with the adventure editor I started making these scenes that'd max out the complexity before I could build any substance to them

[charred badge]

You can claim games from the ubi web store btw

elon musk's definition of advanced is questionable at best imho

[ripe frost]

@austere lance Bro ||I got a call saying some preacher's son was murdered to make a BD and the gang that is distributing said BD's is here. So I switch out my weapons to lethal from non-lethal, and used exclusively my strongest katana and an upgraded overheat quickhack. slash and burn, bitches Anyway, I destroy all of the goons and get to the creepmaster and his customer and start the guided interrogation dialogue, and when my guy asks, the creepmaster says I would have to be more specific because he has several BD's of murdering children, so I liberated his head from his neck before he even finished the sentence. Then I did the same to his customer XD||

[dry copper]

@fiery fog Yeah I know. Elon is still using non-diamond batteries. What a pleb.

@fleet moat If you dont know what BDs are, dont read the spoiler 😄

That looks sick. And also, cold as fuck lmao

But I don't care about spoilers.

[ripe frost]

ANyway, i decapitated the god of demented videos, it was satisfying af

[fleet moat]

Oh, a brain dance. Wow. That is such a major spoiler. That's been discussed on here before. But whatever.

[ripe frost]

the braindance isnt the spoiler... But anyone who hasn't learned what BD is yet is still in the forst ten minute of the game and should not read my description of a side mission

planets are pretty

missions kinda repetitive though

[fleet moat]

Those gifts from Ubisoft are only on PC? Or any platform?

[austere lance]

This one is

Yesterday's Valhalla gift was for everything iirc

[dry copper]

I think it would be HILARIOUS if starfield came out early and it was amazing....

That would really ruin my world view of gaming

[willow crypt]

i think it will be amazing

but not come out early

[fleet moat]

See

[fleet moat]

Oooh that's pretty Ty! ♥️

[austere lance]

I need to update my game, smh

Or else I woulda claimed it yesterday

[bold crag]

oh no the uplay store

[austere lance]

I haven't played it for a couple weeks cuz it's flaming on my One S 😔

[bold crag]

the store that has dementia when it comes to my login details

[fleet moat]

But can't you just claim it on the Ubisoft website? And the you get it in-game after the fact?

[fleet moat]

Oh no! What ya mean?

[austere lance]

Hush, I just figured that out today 😭

[fleet moat]

Shucks that you can't play it for a bit. I know how much you were enjoying it.

[bold crag]

it has forgotten them again

god damn it

how can you not keep one password for 2 weeks

why is the remember me button even there

[fleet moat]

Do you have a popup blocker that's potentially fucking up the login process?

[bold crag]

no

[fleet moat]

Popup or content blocker.

[bold crag]

i am just talking about the normal uplay store

[fleet moat]

That's happened to me with some websites.

[bold crag]

the installed one

its on my harddrive

[austere lance]

It looks and runs like hell on my sad old One S 😔

[bronze wind]

yeah the ubi store forgets my login like 10 times a year

[fleet moat]

Oh noooo. So you gotta wait for patches?

[bold crag]

i should just set a bullshit password

that i will always remember

[austere lance]

Maybe it runs better after the last two Title Updates

[fleet moat]

Does it have a 2-step auth? Otherwise I wouldn't use a bs password tbh.

[bold crag]

it doesnt have 2 step

[bronze wind]

yes it does

just have to enable it

[fleet moat]

It probably will. Games usually do. I def hope so.

[bold crag]

yeah i didnt do that

[bronze wind]

can set a bs password and then enable it once you're logged in

[bold crag]

but i dont have any payment methode connected for it

so its worthless anyway honestly

[bronze wind]

interesting POV

[fleet moat]

My main concern wouldn't just be losing $ from a credit card. There's a lot more to that when losing any form of account when it's hacked.

Besides the fact that it's inconvenient as fuck. There can be other consequences, depending on what's saved in the account, including personal information, history, etc.

[bronze wind]

if there's no personal info attached at all and the password is one you don't use anywhere else it's not very much of an issue, but that's not usually the case

[dry copper]

Yeah I never save card info online

[bold crag]

no personal information

its a throwaway email

nevermind it seems i have infact 2 step authentification

interesting

[dry copper]

Some companies have enabled it even if you never signed up, in light of recent ahem...compromised systems

[bronze wind]

Probably smart

[bold crag]

oh i remmber why i had this store in the first place

[dry copper]

Uplay? Probably for games only available through there.

[bold crag]

the division 2

[dry copper]

Isn't Division on there

yeah

[bold crag]

the only reason

literally

[dry copper]

same tbh

[bold crag]

oh god i forgot i had AC origins

[dry copper]

I would never use Uplay if given an option

[bold crag]

same

[sleek cloud]

Mine got hacked once by some Russian

[austere lance]

AC Origins 💕

[dry copper]

I can't even remember what account I had got hacked by a russian

[fleet moat]

I enjoyed Origins. But even more so, Odyssey.

[bold crag]

i dont like AC origins

it was a poorly informed purchase

[silver sparrow]

😮

[austere lance]

Origins is my favorite since AC II tbh

[sleek cloud]

Been enjoying valhalla, first ac since the 2nd one that ive played

[silver sparrow]

achtung

[bold crag]

i expected a stealth game but i got an rpg

[dry copper]

Oh I remember now. It was years ago when there was a Playstore for free games online owned by sony

[fleet moat]

Downloading 6.66gb GTAO DLC update. Not too bad.

[dry copper]

I didn't even care that it got hacked. I got it back, logged out and never touched it again

[fleet moat]

Love that it's 666

[bold crag]

which is fine, but thats not why i wanted it

[silver sparrow]

eeble

[sleek cloud]

Is that the one with the new island Redhot?

[austere lance]

My Xbox won't connect to the internet 🤬 🤬 🤬

[fleet moat]

Yessss! Super excited! And new submarine HQ too. And and and

[sleek cloud]

Sounds cool

[austere lance]

This sad old thing hates life at this point, I'm pretty sure

[fleet moat]

I'm excited about the music.

[sleek cloud]

Never really for into gtao that much, might have to check it out again

[austere lance]

FUCKING FINALLY

[fleet moat]

Omg the heists are a lot of fun. I def enjoy those, although I do play those with friends, not lfg.

[bold crag]

gtao is weird

fun with friends

but apart from that

[fleet moat]

The rest of GTAO I play solo in NAT'ed / wannabe-public but actually solo lobbies.

[sleek cloud]

Problem is most people I know play on console the peasants

[austere lance]

God I love our new internet, 6 GB says it'll be done downloading in 18 minutes 😍

[bold crag]

i would never play gtao solo

the public lobbies are just a cestpool honestly

[fleet moat]

And I enjoy the different aspects of the management of businesses to grind for $ to buy all the cars and aircraft you want.

[sleek cloud]

My dad loves gtao and recently fallout 4 settlement stuff

[dry copper]

GTA Online...Careers. Become a janitor. Mop floors. Direct traffic. Deliver pizza. Throw newspapers at windows like a professional newspaper boy...etc

[fleet moat]

I have $102mil in the bank right now cuz I kept making goals to reach certain milestones. And I would take advantage of 2x$ events (that happen weekly).

[sleek cloud]

You play the role play part of it?

[fleet moat]

No, I have not done any role playing at all. Which I've seen on streams and it looks interesting.

[bold crag]

each lobby has at least 1 modder and about one third of the lobby is flying around with noob bikes

[sleek cloud]

Ye those bikes are annoying

[fleet moat]

I play GTAO on Xbox so no modders. And I also NAT my lobbies so no griefers.

[ripe frost]

@dry copper No, that's a list of people you're supposed to hit with your car while going over 100mph

[fleet moat]

I f'n LOVE my mk2 for grinding though.

[austere lance]

I put 600 hours into it before the current gen version released 😆

[bold crag]

thats about the only accpetable use for it

[fleet moat]

A lot has changed. Or has been added.

[ripe frost]

whats NAT

[bold crag]

because its stupidly overpowered against almost every other vehicle

[sleek cloud]

I did complete the single player on 360 then again in first person on pc

[fleet moat]

I get to do the cargo warehouse grind with the mk2 the fastest, even better than the helicopters.

[austere lance]

Yeah, and I lost my 600 hour account cuz I couldn't afford to buy current gen console before Rockstar shut down transfers 🤬 @fleet moat

[sleek cloud]

NAT is like the fire wall

[fleet moat]

Omg nooooo that is sooo sad

[ripe frost]

rockstar shut down transfers? thats a major cocksucker move lol

[sleek cloud]

Forgot what it meant

[austere lance]

@ripe frost Yeah they did it after current gen version released. You had a window to transfer your character but it required you buying the next gen version and playing it

[bold crag]

ouch

[fleet moat]

Oh NAT is what must remain "open" for most multi-player games today. Routers manage it. And on Xbox, we can "test" the NAT, which fucks it up for the game, and GTAO is unable to find a public lobby, so it dumps in a pseudo public lobby by yourself.

[austere lance]

And I couldn't afford next gen during that window so RIP my 600 hour character

[bronze wind]

is NAT a new thing with respect to GTA cause it isn't really a thing that could affect griefers

[ripe frost]

Player: So how much money did GTA make so far in profit?
Rstar: About 2 billion or so.
Player: Sweet! So that means you wont have to cut corners in user-hostile ways to make ends meet!
Rstar: Bursts out laughing and does player hostile penny-pincher shit anyway

[fleet moat]

On PS and PC, there are other ways to glitch the connection. But NAT'ing is what I call it on Xbox since it's how we glitch it.

[sleek cloud]

Setting it to open allows more ports to be open that are required to connect to certain servers

[austere lance]

They shut down transfers to "stop modders from modding last gen accounts and transfer them"

[bold crag]

yeah on pc you can shut down the network access for a short time

[ripe frost]

@austere lance Lies

[fleet moat]

Griefers are found in public lobbies with random players. I NAT my lobby in the way I explained before so I end up in a public lobby by myself. Then I can invite friends to it.

[ripe frost]

Or extremely lazy truth

[sleek cloud]

That's it I think Nat = network access terminal

[austere lance]

It's Rockstar, what do you expect

[bronze wind]

it's network address translation

[bold crag]

yeah, like i said public lobbies with normal people are just not enjoyable

[bronze wind]

the way xbox handles it is just abstracted with open/moderate/strict

[sleek cloud]

Moderate is usually OK

[fleet moat]

Not for a game like Destiny.

[sleek cloud]

(I hate typing on phone)

[ripe frost]

here's another story
Player: So how much money did GTA make so far in profit?
Rstar: About 2 billion or so.
Player: Sweet! So that means you can afford the meager costs of a small team to fix your major security problems right?
Rstar: LOL why would I give money to someone else? Thats dum

[fleet moat]

For Destiny, Open is what works best.

[bold crag]

oh god dont remind me of destiny

[bronze wind]

most games are peer to peer now I believe which is what's hit hardest by the NAT type you select

[fleet moat]

|| I highly appreciate collapsed messages on Discord ||

[fleet moat]

Exactly

[bronze wind]

but it's not a firewall thing, it's just a router function that determines network address translation from a public facing IP

[sleek cloud]

But it kinda acts like one, would you agree? In the way it can block incoming connections

[fleet moat]

I must. Cuz I've been playing it a lot this season lmao Don't judge

[bronze wind]

Idk what the options re doing on Xbox but that's not what NAT is meant to do really at all

[bold crag]

i stopped after sunsetting

[fleet moat]

Sorta, I guess? A closed NAT def makes it more challenging. As we end up experiencing with these games, unable to ping the console back.

[bronze wind]

All NAT really means is your ISP gives you some IP address that doesn't collide with another device on their network like 184.234.12.12 or something, then your router goes "ok locally this is 192.168.0.2 on the home network"

[fleet moat]

It hasn't been too bad tbh. I'm enjoying new weapons. And not all weapons have been sunset. And the activities sunset I was never playing them anyway. So I haven't missed them.

[bronze wind]

I have no idea what open vs closed NAT means on Xbox though.

[bold crag]

sunsetting was a lazy idea poorly executed

[fleet moat]

They're doing a decent job after an update post-DLC launch. And they're making other changes to improve it. I can't really excuse the game as a whole. Bungie's had a lot of fuckups. Which for players like me have been frustrating and even infuriating. But I also can't say that this particular DLC didn't take me by surprise. Positive surprise. I'm enjoying the game. But I also do play with friends and a clan, so that's part of the attraction to the game.

[bold crag]

they applied sunsetting to armor

[bronze wind]

oh ok the NAT types are categorizations of your network and not a selection

[sleek cloud]

Played destiny 2 until I got to level 13 and got bored

[bronze wind]

that makes more sense lol

[bold crag]

they applied sunsetting and removed a lot of sources for items

with beyond light

[bronze wind]

Still not sure why it's called a NAT type but oh well

[bold crag]

sunsetting also doesnt balance the pvp

and on top of that its absolutely obvious why they did it

[fleet moat]

Yeah depending on the season, Destiny can get quite boring, also depending on who introduces you to the game, who you play with, and how you play it. It can feel very repetitive.

[neon torrent]

Congratulations @fleet moat, You've reached level 54!

[bold crag]

to keep the player playing for longer

[sleek cloud]

I got it when it first came out

[fleet moat]

Yeah, that was the very worst I feel. Sadly. Cuz D1 had left off at a much better state.

[balmy plaza]

I mostly keep away from playlist activities and level up by just bumbling around

I'll do a quest here and there then move on

[bold crag]

also i hate the light level system in destiny

[sleek cloud]

Wanted to do the main quest but couldn't progress until level 15 then lost interest lol

Killing the same boss to getting levels isn't my thing, unless it's borderlands

[winter yew]

Never really liked grinding games tbh

[balmy plaza]

Honestly starting to feel like my destiny days are over tbh

[fleet moat]

Yeah, this is one aspect they struggle with. The way or approach they take to make sure players continue playing, so there is an ongoing pool of players to match you in playlist activities. The way they've done that with bounties in the past has been just absurd. Because bounties get tedious and boring and repetitive as fuck. I think they're making slow improvements in that regard.

[winter yew]

Especially if it's the same thing over and over again

[bold crag]

they are intentionally starving the lootpool of old activities by removing them and then they also get rid of the old loot to force you into the new activities

i wouldnt call that an improvement necessarily

[fleet moat]

Well, old activities did get boring as fuck. And there's a technical reason for it too. Because they made upgrades to their engine. So they're having to upgrade various planets / activities, to the new state of the engine. So that was part of the reason behind sunsetting worlds.

[bold crag]

its not sunsetting worlds, they vaulted them completely

[fleet moat]

Perfect example was, a dungeon from a couple of seasons ago had been "vaulted" temporarily. And they just re-released it last week.

[bold crag]

yeah

so it feels like new content

[fleet moat]

They are vaulting things (worlds / activities) to bring back other things from D1 too.

It's not new content for some. But it was new content to me because I'd never even played that dungeon.

Some players do play for one or two seasons, and stop playing for a while, and then come back seasons after.

[bold crag]

they are vaulting them so it feels new when they come back, that way they can keep it running with less effort now that activision left

[fleet moat]

So to us, some of the older content is still sorta new.

It's all very relative tbh. Not so black and white. As I'm learning this season.

[bold crag]

bungie is the king of content recycling

[fleet moat]

Like I said, I will not defend Bungie for a huge array of actions. But I also feel that the narrative I hear online (Reddit and some YT creators) is also based on personal conclusions / assumptions / opinions. So it's not a black and white story in the end. Very gray.

If someone doesn't enjoy the game, I'd never pressure them into playing it.

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBJp7fEagSM

[fleet moat]

But if someone does, I don't try to poo on their experience either.

[bold crag]

people should always play what they enjoy

[austere lance]

I detect Geralt being an asshole

[fleet moat]

"It doesn't rhyme, all good predictions rhyme"

[bold crag]

having fun is the one thing we want out of games

[fleet moat]

Exactly And everyone does have fun differently.

Some ppl bitch about CP content (not referring to bugs) but those not bothered by the bugs, seem to be enjoying the content...having fun. But then there are those that poo on those players' experience. And it's like ummm wtf. Let them have fun. Stfu.

I feel the same can happen with other forma of entertainment like films.

[full pivot]

It's why I don't really enjoy discussing games much

my usual experience is talk about a game im enjoying and 2-4 people come in and shit all over it

and many times me defending it just turns into "well its because you don't have the supremely high standards I do and are easily pleased blah blah blah"

it gets so tiresome

[fleet moat]

Yeah. I don't understand that mindset. When other players who may have your same taste may be able to learn what games they may get into, based on your experience.

[bronze wind]

I definitely enjoy the game but there are a lot of issues that are pretty basic in my opinion. But they have very rarely hindered my enjoyment lol. I like to discuss them though cause if it turns out more than just me is bothered by it then maybe there's hope it'll be improved

[full pivot]

im prolly not the best at doing it but i do try to phrase my opinion as "what I didn't like about X game"

or story or w/e

instead of "what the fuck is wrong with these people how could they think it wasn't a war crime to do X in the game!? so lazy and pathetic"

[bronze wind]

Oh ya there's constructive criticism and then there's just outrage lol

[full pivot]

and its not just for 2077 it happens to a lot of things

[fleet moat]

Exactly

[bronze wind]

Which like I understand outrage to an acceptable degree of you but it and it's just not working in the case of some base console users

But death threats and developer condemnation aren't the answers

[balmy plaza]

@bold crag the dungeon was vaulted for like a month for technical reasons

[full pivot]

as far as I remember Death Stranding didn't have many major bugs and a seemingly smooth release (comparatively) so instead it just became about how weird the story was and gameplay was

like 100% i can see that not being for everyone for sure

but some people like myself rather enjoyed just running from A to B and delivering things; i mean i do play truck sim games xD

[balmy plaza]

I remember quite liking death stranding

[dry copper]

Never played it

[balmy plaza]

Figuring out routes and such

[full pivot]

i was trying to think of something AAA that stood out that I liked and people got on my case for

other than the new one

[dry copper]

I don't understand why the game paperboy was never expanded

There are so many paperboy possibilities

[balmy plaza]

It's interesting to play a game that doesn't really glamourise what you do

[dry copper]

Paperboy with real physics. Paperboy with a route where people remember what you did before, so your skills and conduct can have a direct impact on the difficulty scaling, etc

Act like a jerk and break windows, now they come out after you, or start setting traps

Get re-routed to Elm Street where you have to contend with the nightmares that are there.

[austere lance]

Have the Hello Neighbor guys make it, lol

[bronze wind]

I thought death stranding was pretty widely praised

I didn't play it cause it didn't look fun to me personally and I don't like kojima or norman reedus lol so that skewed my opinions. But it seemed well received

[full pivot]

nah not the reception I was meaning whenever i talk about liking a game people will usually just jump in to hate on it and criticize me for liking it; was referring to what red was talking about earlier sorry

i don't think I talked about Death Stranding here tho

[bronze wind]

I thought I remembered some talk about it here, with me probably being one of the outspoken "looks bad" people lol so I apologize

[full pivot]

nah i mean its fine to not like it

yknow what i mean the people that like go after people who like something they think is dumb

like how dare you like something type people

[bronze wind]

yeah like when someone says they'r enjoying a game and the response is a link to an article about why the game is bad

i am guilty of shit like that honestly but it's usually just around bad practices in the company and not just gameplay choices

[full pivot]

i try not to but i prolly hate on people playing "popular" games like fortnite too much too

[bronze wind]

everyone does it for sure, i think the difference is just made in being able to have normal conversation about it without sensationalizing

cause at the end of the day it is a game (not that that means we shouldn't care about poor working conditions)

[fiery fog]

he SHOULD be using zero-point energy manipulation at this point but he's still stuck funding resource wars and polluting earth's low orbital strata with bullets 🙄 😆

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/iwYhA5YvdNc

[long mural]

Hmm, to get Inaros or to get Gauss

[austere lance]

Warframe?

[long mural]

Yes

Not sure which of the two to go with

[austere lance]

I got Gauss for free through Prime Gaming even tho I haven't played it in years 🤣

[fleet moat]

Same, I haven't played in forever I wanna but there are so many games to play right now

I don't even know those Warframes to provide any feedback. Sigh. So out of the loop. Sad times.

[glass plinth]

I have a ton of frames, my favorite is Oberon Prime though, or Trinity Prime

Oberon just suites my playstyle best though.

[fleet moat]

I love Oberon. There are so many wonderful options. But I don't know what Gauss does.

Or Inaros.

[glass plinth]

Inaros I own

[long mural]

I think Gauss is basically “gotta go fast”

[glass plinth]

Interesting frame

Never did get gauss

My main frames are always Trinity, Excal Umbra, Oberon

[raven frost]

I remember using rhino a lot

though honestly I stopped playing warframe a long time ago

[fleet moat]

Watching this comparison: https://youtu.be/qP6RjbBXt20

[long mural]

But if I get the last piece, I might pick up Mesa instead if luck is on my side

[austere lance]

Yay, another Exotic thingy on D2 from Prime 😆

[fleet moat]

Lmao I'm sorry. I'd no clue that was meant to be a funny video comparison.

[austere lance]

I have like 3 Exotic Destiny 2 drops from Prime now, lol

[fleet moat]

I f'n love Mesa!

[austere lance]

And still don't have the game downloaded cuz my internet says no to online games, LMAO

[fleet moat]

It's one of my favorite frames. And she looks hotttt.

[glass plinth]

Lol

Shes a tumor red

Im not sure that qualifies as hot

[fleet moat]

Have you seen my Mesa? I think not

She looks hot as fuck.

Guess what color she is

[raven frost]

blue

[fleet moat]

All my frames are black and redddddd ♥️

Every single one of them.

[austere lance]

@fleet moat I'm fuckin dying after watching that video 🤣🤣🤣

[fleet moat]

Just like my Destiny characters

[raven frost]

one of the only things I remember about warframe was something I said a while back

fuckin uhhh

[long mural]

Looks like a hotfix for Warframe is about to start

[austere lance]

I'd try Warframe again but uh, my internet drops every once and a while so the game boots me

[raven frost]

just read for a bit, you'll get what I mean

[glass plinth]

My oberon is silver, red and black

Rather lovely

[austere lance]

If only if it had
You know
A fuckin offline mode

[glass plinth]

Yah no...

Most of the game mechanics require a connection to some degree

[austere lance]

I noticed 🤬

[glass plinth]

By design

[long mural]

There is a solo mode, but you’ll still meet people in areas like Cetus or Fortuna, so that’s the best you got

[charred badge]

Yeah. Otherwise you get people modding drops dates and junk

[austere lance]

Still not as dumb as the Hitman games requiring an internet connection

[charred badge]

Solo mode still requires a connection

[glass plinth]

Ok, yeah that one was dumb

[fleet moat]

Not all of them. But I'd concur quite a bit do.

[raven frost]

rhino... 💦

[long mural]

Mirage Prime, baby! I’ve been waiting for this.

[winter yew]

That tomorrow. O_O

[austere lance]

Yes, lol

[cinder vessel]

oh

i should get around to finishing death stranding

[glass plinth]

Sigh, last day Ill be living at my old apartment

What a fucking weird year

[winter yew]

I'm finally purchasing DS next week.

I can;t freaking wait.

[glass plinth]

Lol, I feel like V in cyberpunk, you actually dont have much time between events

yet it feels forever

DS?

[cinder vessel]

i wonder if they recovered the rights to MGS

[glass plinth]

Why not a switch lite?

MGS?

[cinder vessel]

lol we over here breaking ur brain with shorthand

[winter yew]

Hahaha

[austere lance]

DS is understandable cuz it's used to refer to the handheld, Dark Souls, or Death Stranding 😆

MGS is always Metal Gear Solid tho

[winter yew]

@winter yew I wish I could experience Death Stranding again for the first time

[silver sparrow]

hm

i think i would feel the same

[sleek cloud]

haven't played it yet

[fleet moat]

Fallen Order download 95%. Almost done

[austere lance]

@fleet moat This is why I'm waiting to finish Valhalla til I get a Series X 😬

That and the audio is disgustingly compressed on last gen

Imma try Darksiders Genesis

[fleet moat]

I'm sorry the experience has been so meh with graphics. I do agree you might as well wait for patches and/or console upgrade. It's why I'm gonna patiently wait with CP.

No point in rushing the experience and not get the most of it, the way it was intended by devs/artists.

[fleet moat]

That sucks too, re: audio compression

[austere lance]

I wish the Darksiders devs hadn't been tanking in quality over the last few years, smh. Darksiders 3 was just insulting compared to the first two and the newest one is a Diablo clone 🤬

And the remaster for the first game doesn't even work, the entire intro cutscene has no sound but the devs never bothered fixing it

[fleet moat]

That's sooo sad.

[full pivot]

so its already noon but i wonder if i should play a little 2077 anyway 😛

[fleet moat]

Hurro! Is that a trick question?!

[full pivot]

well im being irresponsible cuz i only have 2 days left where i have to get up xD

this is normally my bedtime

[fleet moat]

Ooh true, what time is bed time?

[full pivot]

but i promised pictures 😛

[fleet moat]

You do need proper sleep.

Aka beauty sleep

[full pivot]

i can get 7 if i go to sleep at 2

[fleet moat]

Oh I missed it. Def get sleep. How many more work days are there left before vacay?

[full pivot]

i forgot i got sniped in the face yesterday before i stopped playing so i have a mission to finish still

2

so i'll finish the one mission first at least

[fleet moat]

[full pivot]

plus yknow me i get like 7-8 every night one night of 5-6 won't be bad

idk why it says im still playing tabletop for me >:|

[balmy plaza]

That's quite the exaggeration

[austere lance]

Why in the FUCK does a Diablo clone not have a mini-map???

[balmy plaza]

The game is solid. Not 10/10 but the bulk of the issues is the bugs

[bronze wind]

I disagree but I still like it

[sleek cloud]

i think it's aimed more towards last gen

[bronze wind]

Still disagree

[balmy plaza]

Tbh I think my main non bug issue is the world. There needs to be more emergent interactivity I think

[bronze wind]

It's not about performance it's about actual gameplay

[raven frost]

have people have forgotten that NMS's controversy came from missing content, not bugs?

[balmy plaza]

Maybe AI too

[bronze wind]

Computerman this is about the same thing

bugs are at the forefront right now but most of the complaints are about things that were shown to be deeper than they turned out

[sleek cloud]

well NMS was still buggy and still is

and would often crash afaik

[bronze wind]

Like lifepath stuff kinda bummed me out

the only difference is you get a 20 min difference at the start of the game and then it's a dialogue option for some conversations

[balmy plaza]

Idm some bugginess, but cyberpunk tips the scales a little too much for me. Not by a mile though

I'll give it a few weeks then come back and start fresh I think

[bronze wind]

I've gotten softlocked a couple times, thankfully the save system isn't too restrictive

[sleek cloud]

see what these 2 big patches address

[balmy plaza]

Hopefully optimisation

As well as other things

[bronze wind]

The main thing that brought me down about the lifepath thing is || after you complete the very short intro, instead of playing to rise to notoriety, you are given a short montage cutscene of you partying and doing runs with Jackie instead of just doing them yourself and actually getting to know him. Took all of the emotional depth away from his character development for me ||

[austere lance]

God this is just depressing, us Darksiders fans waited years to play as Strife then he got put in a fucking Diablo clone

[winter yew]

😔

[austere lance]

This game is ass, it doesn't even have a mini-map

In case you're wondering, it's annoying af to not have one in a game like this

Pretty sure the studio's excuse was "Strife is famous for his guns so he wouldn't work in a third-person game like the others"
Gives him badass knives and melee takedowns

This would make a fantastic third-person game, they're on crack

[sleek cloud]

oh it looks like doom

[austere lance]

How does one fail to make a Diablo clone this badly

[sleek cloud]

i was thinking of getting diablo but might as well wait until the 4th

[sleek cloud]

cool af

[full pivot]

me and photo mode xD

[sleek cloud]

what was fired at him there?

[full pivot]

double barrel shotgun

i was too slow on getting the knockdown hits but i wanna get one

[sleek cloud]

oh nice, i quite like the shotguns

[full pivot]

idk why it electrified him like that

well it keeps failing my last one so i give up

[sleek cloud]

your gun doesn't have some sort electrifying effect on it ?

[full pivot]

i didnt pay attention lol

i was focused on screenshots 😛

[sleek cloud]

i can see myself getting really into the photo mode, only dabbled in it a little bit

as a hobby photographer

[austere lance]

@cinder vessel Oh shit, Drake Hollow finally got the Play Your Way update

[cinder vessel]

although tbh in NMS' case they never really showed much depth. Lots of talk but no show.

Not sure if CP2077 was similar in that regard since I stopped paying attention after the initial announcement for the most part.

@austere lance cool...? I don't recall showing much interest in it, beyond maybe wondering after you & Spirit mentioned some awkwardness with its difficulty or something?

[austere lance]

I talked with you about waiting to try it til they fixed the difficulty, lol. They certainly have now, as well as giving you a ton of ways to customize how the game plays 😆

[cinder vessel]

aah, i've been bouncing between so many other games & busy that i forgot

[keen dome]

https://imgur.com/gallery/FMSYJPh

[winter yew]

anyone here play ark

If so what's the best map for single player with a friend

[keen dome]

Starting map is pretty good, but the center is fun too

Just watch out for them asshole cats in the tree

[winter yew]

I liked ragnarok alot but something about it's throwing me off

[fervent fog]

assuming you prefer one of the free maps over the heavily different maps

I am just biased for EX

[winter yew]

I have all the dlc besides the genesis stuff

Love Abberation and I would play that but I'd have to delete my save to

Scorched isnt quite what I'm looking for but maybe

[fervent fog]

AB is one of my favorites. The no-flyers is really enjoyable.

SE is dull imo

[winter yew]

SE is fun but map wise pretty lame

not much interesting to explore

If you remade SE and added more cool things itd be nice

Extinction I don't like for starting a survival on personally

why big robot city when I have rock?!?!

[fervent fog]

So yeah, AB & EX are my favorites, haven't played Gen due to PC limitations (teleporting consistently crashes my game). TI and SE are dull...

[winter yew]

Valgueros a maybe for me

[fervent fog]

never tried Val nor TC

[winter yew]

I've yet to play Val

And apparently TC has like no ruins

And I like ruins

[fervent fog]

Rag is Okay I guess... CI is quite curious, and even better with the mod

honestly, if you'd request one of the free maps, I'd say CI, and if you've got a possibility of getting the mod, even better

[winter yew]

I play console

[fervent fog]

Bummer

[winter yew]

CI is somewhat cool but things feel too spaced out between water

[fervent fog]

There is indeed a lot of water in that map eh

[winter yew]

Abberation ripped off The Center prove me wrong

[fervent fog]

bugged Tuso and uuh... what's it called, the massive untameable fish, spawns.

[winter yew]

squid

[fervent fog]

Tuso is the squid...

Leed.

there it is

Leedsycthis

[winter yew]

Oh you mean that

Moby Dick

I am heavily bias towards the map that has the coolest ruins

Not exactly going for a technological playthrough but dont wanna play Primitive+ because less skins

[fervent fog]

Primitive+ is not good anyways...

Play what you enjoy, I suppose.

[winter yew]

I like primitive +

More interior design

And food

And pitch fork

[glass plinth]

I will always love abberation

It was such a exotic map

Hrmm, your making me want to do a Survival plus run

[winter yew]

pitch fork

Abberation is very alien and I like it

I'm a sucker for bioluminescence

Primitive+ Abberation is horrid tho so don't play that

every time i go to make a list of good/interesting-looking indies released this year, i keep forgetting some

a good issue to have, all things considering

[willow crypt]

it’s nice to forget about certain games and then remember them only when they release or are close to being released

[cinder vessel]

ohey, Starlink PC version is free if you don't mind putting up with Ubisoft's...Connect thing?

https://register.ubisoft.com/happyholidays2020-day2/en-GB

[willow crypt]

there’s a game i need to finish

[dry copper]

That lifepath story thingy disappointed me too. PS: I hate the music that plays, too.

[cinder vessel]

lmfao, so i was curious about what yesterday's Ubisoft gift thing was, considering Starlink is part of an extended holiday thing, and it was just a crummy AC: Valhalla Rewards pack

[dry copper]

@cinder vessel Starlink on youtube to me looks like what a spiritual successor to Starfox might feel and look like.

[cinder vessel]

it's pretty good tbh

the only thing that kept it from being more of a success was the confusing marketing on whether or not the toys were required to play (they weren't)

[willow crypt]

just repetitive missions

[dry copper]

toys?

[willow crypt]

otherwise a good game

[cinder vessel]

yeah, so it came out on the tail end of the Skylanders/Disney Infinity craze

[dry copper]

yick

[cinder vessel]

The whole toys to life stuff

or whatever it was called

Now granted, they were pretty nice toys, but it definitely just muddled the marketing

also weird, somehow I got free copies of AC: Odyssey and IV: Black Flag at some point

must've been some promotion like with Starlink today

btw ubisoft is still really trying to make their own battle royale work

(because of course they have a battle royale)

[dry copper]

You know what would really work (imo) for an AC battle royale....Assassins Creed using the mechanics of spy vs spy.

Setting traps and events against your opponent

Surprises

Mind you I don't pvp and can not speak to the current pvp iteration of AC

pvp is a gimmick to me...not a game

[cinder vessel]

Tbh I'm surprised they haven't done more with AC PvP, as they did awhile back and then just...Left it behind

Typical Ubisoft I guess

speaking of, apparently Ubi is continuing to use shit DRM on recent releases, sooo fuck'em

[austere lance]

Never forget Haven 😤

[fleet moat]

Omg I need a BD-1 in my life

https://tenor.com/view/bd1-jedi-fallen-order-star-wars-brofist-respect-gif-16013093

[cinder vessel]

it doesn't help that StarCrawlers is dense with worldbuilding stuff & some gameplay systems to do with different factions if memory serves

[austere lance]

I love BD, lol

[cinder vessel]

is it just me or is fallen order one of those games that seems like it would've benefited from a custom character option

[charred badge]

what's up with this book?

found on a desk in star citizen

[cinder vessel]

that just brought to mind an idea i don't think i've seen many games do. Have a set character for main story but then an optional custom character that's just mute throughout or something, lol

[charred badge]

most do that, except you play the mute and escort the set character

[fleet moat]

So true

Re: mute characters when custom. So weirdly annoying.

It's one thing I miss from BL2.

Me getting to choose Mechromancer. A very outspoken character I loved lol

[cinder vessel]

what, nah, i meant that as a plus or basically the only realistic way to allow a custom character in a story-driven game

[cinder vessel]

true, i guess

tbh i feel like custom characters work best when the game isn't voice acted, that way you can offer more response options and imagine how they're said

[charred badge]

Morrowind

[cinder vessel]

mmhmm

and a bunch of other older titles

[charred badge]

ED is giving free daily ARX

[dry copper]

Noticed an especially amusing and no way it was a coincidence - little tidbit in CP77's Club Afterlife.

All of (and I do mean all) the erotic dancers in the water tanks have masculine names. IE-Anthony, Robert, Johnny, etc.

All of them have feminine bodies.

[charred badge]

my SC ship got stuck when I fell out of it, so I hitched called a taxi

a very large, well armed, taxi, as it turns out

I hopped into the turret for a view as we flew

Holy cow. What a PR clusterfuck. At so many levels. Interesting breakdown in regards to refund policies, especially pertaining Playstation. https://youtu.be/HX6RW0PlwhI

[sleek cloud]

i wish these content creators and media outlets would stop going on about it, we get it, the game is bugged and f**ked on previous gen consoles

[full pivot]

Well the problem is its not playable on base ps4 xbone and it costs $60

[fleet moat]

Well, it's a new issue. Developer saying you can get a refund. Sony saying, no you can't.

When it comes to digital copies.

[full pivot]

And right now money is tight for a lot of people so buying a new console or buying a $60 paperweight is pretty bad, and so yeah not getting a refund compounds that problem

[sleek cloud]

Sony being awkward as usual

[charred badge]

[sleek cloud]

ah interesting

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/12/15/cyberpunk-2077-has-too-many-dildos-will-patch-some-of-them-out/ 😄

gotta admit, they're everywhere in places

[hasty valve]

I have 34 hours in Cyberpunk and I have only seen them in a single store in China Town

[full pivot]

You forget we're a puritan society

It doesnt bother me at all, and if it does maybe you shouldn't play M rated games idk

Tbh I'm kinda tired of media censorship of sexuality

[fleet moat]

Europe is so much better in that respect.

[full pivot]

Feels too much like the NC-17 bs

Like maybe they've changed (hopefully) but they used to slap NC17 on movies with girls kissing romantically

[fleet moat]

Even a South American country like Colombia is more sensical in regards to censorship.

[full pivot]

Like boom no gay stuff in theatres

[quaint escarp]

My fav shot

[sleek cloud]

noice

[quaint escarp]

I need to go back and enable raytrace and take the pic again

[full pivot]

Turns out the ratings boards for films have at least 1 Catholic priest on them always

[bright knot]

oh my gosh this game looks beautiful tho

[full pivot]

I mean to me its also pretty fun

Cool soundtrack

[bright knot]

I do love myself a game with a good soundtrack

if only it was more pg. :/

[full pivot]

I'm sure its not for everyone

[sleek cloud]

they did an amazing job with The Witcher's soundtrack as well

[quaint escarp]

Its a beautiful game on pc

[full pivot]

Ive discovered i actually like industrial

[quaint escarp]

@bright knot u can turn on full censor

[bright knot]

really?

[fleet moat]

What does full censor do?

[quaint escarp]

Main menu has a censor option

Havent tried it

[bright knot]

i mean that's irrelevant anyway, my laptop is junky

this game looks waaay to good for my laptop to handle

[sleek cloud]

i think just adds clothing to what would be nude

[fleet moat]

I wonder if the game can handle enough censorship of all content that would make someone uncomfortable though.

[full pivot]

Inb4 the argument becomes there's no password req to reenable no censor

[quaint escarp]

Hopefully removed dildos

[full pivot]

So kids can just turn it on 👻

[bright knot]

ok gonna go do schoolwork now byyyee

[full pivot]

Later

Also I'm aware how ridiculous that sounds haha

For an M rated game

[fleet moat]

Yeah, I figured it was a joke lol

[sleek cloud]

some people are just uncomfortable seeing naked people

[winter yew]

[sleek cloud]

like this one above 😄

[full pivot]

Then don't watch R rated movies or play M rated games?

[winter yew]

[full pivot]

It lists what's in it too

[charred badge]

How many of the... Opposite version of a pocket zucchini are there?

[full pivot]

So you don't even have to go that far

[charred badge]

Never much representation for those

[full pivot]

Just read the list and avoid "nudity and sexual themes"

[fleet moat]

Exactly.

[charred badge]

I'm amused that people saw the game and assumed it would have graphic sex

But it's M, not AO

Because AO kills games

[sleek cloud]

ye it doesn't quite go that far

it could have

[winter yew]

I saw one of the naughty scenes, it kind of looked awkward, for a game at least. Like super zoomed in.

[bronze wind]

The nudity censor makes you smooth

[sleek cloud]

thought it just added clothing ?

[full pivot]

In games its always awkward

[winter yew]

haha true

[bronze wind]

No they already add on clothing to scenes with sex

[winter yew]

Dragon Age made me feel awkward sometimes

[sleek cloud]

best nude scene was with geralt and triss in Witcher 2

[bronze wind]

Except for like 3 shots

[winter yew]

I dont support Geralt n Triss

[full pivot]

I'm not well acquainted enough

Obviously saw it in witcher 2 cuz its right up front

[winter yew]

I like Keira Metz

[sleek cloud]

ye she's pretty cool

[full pivot]

I don't get upset about nudity but it doesn't excite me either lol

[winter yew]

The only time I ever got excited for romance scenes was in Dragon age. Because I adore the series and wanted to see and read every little thing about it.

I was a ho in that game

[sleek cloud]

Mass Effect scenes were just awkward though 😄

[winter yew]

Yeah

[full pivot]

They restricted me from romancing my fav character so I just went Liara cuz its the only one that goes through all 3

So it made the most sense, and if the preview video recently was any indication I was right xD

[sleek cloud]

bit of interspecies

[bronze wind]

Tries showing my gf cyberpunk and then a minute later was an unskippable sex scene as part of the story

[winter yew]

I will only romance aliens. I really really wanted to romance a Krogan.

[full pivot]

Bit of a conspiracy that pops up in ME2 if you go searching; Asari don't actually look human-like

[sleek cloud]

i wanted to romance Ta-li, don't think i could

[full pivot]

Some turian and human both think they look like them more

[bronze wind]

So we both just kinda sat there awkwardly as I explained it wasn't about sex

[fleet moat]

That's hilarious, Zoid

[sleek cloud]

😄

[bronze wind]

It was funny but also idk why it was unskippable lol

[sleek cloud]

bet you were beating the hell out of the esc button

[full pivot]

I don't think anything is skippable is it

[bronze wind]

You can skip a lot of dialogue

[full pivot]

Oh right

[bronze wind]

I guess since they weren't talking lol

You can also skip entire car rides

[full pivot]

But not all rides

[sleek cloud]

i quite like the car rides, just sit back and chill for ab it

[full pivot]

[fleet moat]

Even with sex movie scenes, I feel awkward around ppl. With a video game, I'd prob feel less awkward and would just laugh tho. Esp with a game like CP.

[bronze wind]

Nah it was more awkward lol

Movie scenes are at least real looking sometimes

[full pivot]

I always sigh audibly so it prolly helps

[bronze wind]

This was like. So strange.

[fleet moat]

I look forward to it regardless. Lmao I find it amusing.

In videogames I mean.

[full pivot]

I guess people aren't to shocked with how I act normally anyway so its not out of character

[fleet moat]

And especially games like GTA and CP.

[full pivot]

Irl I mean not here

[fleet moat]

Sigh audibly like multiple sighs? Or just one long sigh? Lol

[full pivot]

Just like a short one often followed by "ok then"

[sleek cloud]

i remember playing Vice City, i was only 11 and didn't know what a prostitute was. So sat in the car, on a bridge next to some water not knowing this prostitute got into the car, the car suddenly starting rocking and I was like 'wtf, am i being attacked?' looking for a shark or something, then the lady got out and i was just sat there confused 😄

[fleet moat]

And is it like an annoyed sigh, or a so nice sigh? Lol

[bronze wind]

I just pretend I don't know what's going on

"what are they doing? That's disgusting"

[full pivot]

Its like a can we go back to the game sigh

[bronze wind]

Yeah aethena that was pretty much my reaction when I got hit with it with my gf there lol

Like "cool they had sex but can we move on"

[fleet moat]

You guys can make it less awkward by laughing tbh.

[full pivot]

I would feel it myself too, especially if I'm not invested in the relationship which I rarely am

[bronze wind]

I did laugh

[fleet moat]

The sigh just reinforces awkward lmao

[full pivot]

Its not awkward for me tho

[bronze wind]

Yeah the scene isn't a build up at all either

[fleet moat]

I find bjs in GTA hilarious. How is a chick getting a bj? 😂

[bronze wind]

Won't spoil anything but it's not a character that has had much development at all

[fleet moat]

Got ya. That makes sense.

[winter yew]

I'm more interested in all the glitches.

[full pivot]

I'm not really trying to make it no awkward with other people; awkward to me is how its animated

[winter yew]

Some of those glitches on console are...great. Guy riding a motorcylce, character randomly stands up, all clothes vanish as he rides, revealing his willy to the world.

[bronze wind]

Oh that reminds me

[full pivot]

People who know me irl should expect me not to ever be pg

[bronze wind]

[sleek cloud]

lmao

[winter yew]

I saw that yesterday, hehe, healing hands

[sleek cloud]

benefit fraud

[winter yew]

That is if thats the same video, clicking on it just gives me an error

[full pivot]

Yeah

[sleek cloud]

punches a guy in the wheel chair and he just runs off

reminds me of little britain

[winter yew]

Considering the guy as two cybernetic arms and he's leaning back in a relaxed position, probably not handicap

[sleek cloud]

just too lazy to walk until he gets punched

[ripe frost]

What does this character look like to you?

[sleek cloud]

the guy from Postal 2

[ripe frost]

Looks to me like someone you would expect in a new Kill Bill movie lol

[ripe frost]

I want a sharpened shovel with an american flag painted on it now

[sleek cloud]

hah

and a cat for a silencer ?

[ripe frost]

ofc

I was just thinkin my character looked like a designed main character even though all the gear is just the random current-best stuff

matching clothes, biker helm, black sword

Playing The Last Campfire on iPad

It’s very cute and the puzzles are good

[austere lance]

Starting a new Drake Hollow save with custom settings, this is gonna be waaaaay less painful 😆

[winter yew]

Prison Architect free on GOG.

Very fun and makes time move too fast.

[winter yew]

What was that called again

Mega prison?

Megajail?

[bronze wind]

superjail i believe

[winter yew]

Superjail, now I remember

I remember seeing it as a kid and having a horrified fascination of it

Because it was like very very adult for me at the time

Then years later I come back to find it was cancelled :c

[bronze wind]

yeah after the anime toonami stuff played if one of these other animated shows came on i would either watch in fascination for like 10 mins then fall asleep or just change the channel

[winter yew]

Like many good adult swim cartoons

[bronze wind]

yep

then you go back to watch them or look at their plot years later and realize they were way ahead of their time on a lot of things lol

[winter yew]

That Starlink game is free on Ubisoft store or something.

[bronze wind]

I think that was only yesterday right?

a different thing each day

[winter yew]

Wait yea was only yesterday

I’m glad I redeemed it, seems like a fun game

[bronze wind]

i played it for like 10 mins and it told me my inventory was full but I had zero idea where my inventory was so I stopped playing lol

but it did seem neat, will probably put more time into it at another date

[charred badge]

I'm at 8GB on it

[winter yew]

Lol

I am probably gonna be digging at Destiny 2 and Remnant, depending on who’s online when I get home later

[charred badge]

I've been messing with starship games again

stasrhip evo added planets, so I want to check that out

designing ships is more fun when there are destinations

[fleet moat]

The Dawning ...weekly event I mean

[fervent fog]

Dawnening

[fleet moat]

Daw!

[austere lance]

God damn, Drake Hollow is waaaaay better now

I defo recommend checking it out on Game Pass

[winter yew]

Dawning is a grind and a half

[ripe frost]

Man... the ||suicide quickhack||.... Dark asf (CP77 ability spoiler)

[fleet moat]

Is it time for some Fallen Order?

https://tenor.com/view/bd1-droid-battle-robot-gif-15669821

I need BD-1 emojis

[austere lance]

https://www.gamesradar.com/i-havent-been-this-excited-for-the-future-of-star-wars-gaming-in-a-long-time-says-lucasfilm-story-group-creative-executive/

[fleet moat]

Yay! Bd-1 emoji mission accomplished!

[sleek cloud]

haha nice

[fleet moat]

He's so friggin cute!

[winter yew]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCk

I need a techpriest at this point.

why is my input so fucky. for example I can't roll now in warframe.

I mean I can, but I need to be lightning fast when double tapping shift, while before it wasn't a problem.

Nothing changed, settings didn't change, there's no fucking settings for how quick you double tap shift of all things either.

Plus it's not only warframe, I noticed in Cyberpunk when I need to press T to read messages, i need to mash that bitch like a madman before it registers, same for middle click to unequip items, q to change car camera. FUCK.

And it's not always, sometimes it just fucking happens, and sometimes everything's fine.

[fleet moat]

I'd never heard of a "technpriest". Hilarious. But super shitty and weird about your mk issues.

[ripe frost]

Using suicide hack with a deck that causes Ultimates to be able to spread

Literally causing double suicides here

[winter yew]

Plus as you can see my keyboard's fine, so it's not technical either.

sHiFt works fine as demonstrated, T's fine, Q's fine.

LIKE, FUCK.

Why the fuck is IMPUT IN GAME screwed.

[fleet moat]

It's really odd you're experiencing the issue in two different games though.

[winter yew]

Warframe just started few minutes ago, dunno if they're correlated.

[fleet moat]

Sucks I'm on console using a controller. But I can empathize when it's a software issue making my controller input inconsistent.

[winter yew]

Frankly CP could be my bitch ass computer not handling it well.

But warframe's just that more puzzling.

cause I never experienced shit like that.

[fleet moat]

That's a possibility. Maybe there's a form of lag? I assume you've tried not running any other software but the game while troubleshooting the issue? To reduce background resources running and whatnot?

Maybe @raven frost could have a better idea on what can be a cause?

I'm sorry I don't have enough experience with videogames on PC nowadays

[raven frost]

hUH

[winter yew]

Ye restart didn't help. Plus maybe it's my brain giving out already, but mouse seems kinda jacked as well. aka it's more sensitive than it used to. The fuck, do I have like different control profiles or smth and I managed to swap to some cocaine mode?

I swear if it's this cunting geforce experience...

[fleet moat]

Lmao "cocaine mode" and "techpriest"...writing these down. A fan

[winter yew]

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Tech-Priest

Thought i'd share. 😄

[fleet moat]

Computerman, if you need a nickname suggestion in the future, techpriest seems like a nice option

[acoustic solar]

oof, the next mission on DRG is haunted.. idk what that does and idk if I want to find out

might just wait 27 minutes for the next set of missions

gonna do an easy shorter one while i wait for that

[winter yew]

Welp restarting pc worked.

Just wish I didn't fkn have to resolve to that. I don't have an SSD.

guess it kinda proves that it's a software problem somewhere.

and hope it doesn't happen again, cause tracking it is a bitch with no immediate results. Tried closing some shit, messing with settings, couldn't find anything that'd mess with double shift press speed. Like, why of all things THAT'S the fkn thing that needed to screw up. 😄

[wide kestrel]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjOG5gboFU
unironically tho this song kinda slaps.

also useful for shutting down trolls

[keen dome]

https://imgur.com/gallery/IWXCraY holy shit y'all hear about Tom Cruise going ballistic on people for not wearing a mask?

[daring spear]

Yeah

[keen dome]

2020 is super messed up. Who would have thought we would be siding with Tom Cruise XD

[daring spear]

To be fair, as the producer it's kinda his ass if someone gets sick so I mean. I don't blame him for being heated about it

[keen dome]

Oh no no I agree, just surprised he is actually doing something good

[daring spear]

Even if he doesn't normally seem the type to care about that

Yeah

Whether he believes the stuff or not, I'm sure he doesn't want production to stop or to lose money hahah

[cinder vessel]

he doesn't really care as much about the crew tho, yeah, it's just money

he's still being a dick about it is the thing

[daring spear]

None of that is surprising

[winter yew]

Yo I just realised.

when I'm airborne I need to press shift once for a roll

no double tapping required

WHAT THE FUCK WHY WASN'T IT WORKING THEN

yeah it's a single tap in general not a double tap

[glossy kestrel]

Free Games coming up...

[winter yew]

also for songs that "kinda slap"

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

[sleek cloud]

Twitch just gets better and better..... https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1339312480057782273

Rod Breslau (@Slasher)

Twitch now says that you can no longer call others 'simp', 'incel', and 'virgin' as they are now against TOS, along with any emotes relating to the term simp

Twitch baby, what is you doing?
