megabonk, the GOOD remasters

round pendant
#

combined with the extra xp required now, it's actually absurd how much time it takes to be allowed to make functional ARs or DMRs lmao

proper roost
#

its rly annoying cuz you can't buy half dozen eggs in the grocery in the US (I am led to believe this is not uncommon in the UK)

#

and a dozen eggs is just too much for a single human bean

round pendant
#

yet if you hop into the wipe now, you're so far behind every single person will be using those

#

and prob have stacked up a bunch of good ammo

#

not to mention plates

#

Playing any old game in an emulator and realizing how much time you lost as a kid in pure loading screens

Ya my pvp acc is at a pretty solid spot thanks to twitch drops and me playing at the very start, but just in roubles and gear lol

You can now press turbo for a milli sec and skip all that shiz

we love our poop eggs

tribal wharf
#

i think putting 4krtx lighting on say doom 1

#

is dumb

#

just, why

#

what are we doing here lmao

lusty grotto
#

my bro only really quit ETC last year, probably because of a wipe and the entry to steam, and then just picked it up again after the steam release

#

but he and his friends are up to date

fathom oasis
#

Yogi are you perhaps a fan of AGDQ?

tribal wharf
#

old, yes newer behhhhennnnggh

warm plinth
#

Wait why am I getting aggression lmao

tribal wharf
#

i mean, okay?

#

wait i might have something on this

#

i do

#

i do indeed have a set ... uih whatev er you want to call it, speed running is cool and all

#

but some people take entirely way the fuck too far

#

and i stop caring

fathom oasis
#

I mean

tribal wharf
#

when you jump on a grenade from quake 1 and get luanched through a wall

fathom oasis
#

Speedrunning as a whole

tribal wharf
#

into the exit portal in 18 seconds

#

and thats the speed run

fathom oasis
#

Is literally taking things as far as they can be taken

warm plinth
#

True, though I'm with yogi here. I much prefer glitchless speed running categories.

tribal wharf
#

ya, and i think there should be like, normal speed running where you arent doing 4000000 iq plays

fathom oasis
#

That's the neat thibg

tribal wharf
#

and you arent intentionally skipping 18 of the 23 bosses in the game

warm plinth
#

Or even if not glitchless then like, you can't skip bosses or whatever

fathom oasis
#

There's always a category to be enjoyed

warm plinth
#

Yeah

tribal wharf
#

my problems with it is the rules are too loosey goosey, some games the timers start when you gain control, some when the device powers on, some you can warp, some you cant

#

too much wavey lines of rules for me to give a fuck

#

should be you play the game, like normal.

proper roost
#

🤔

tribal wharf
#

and then there is glitch category whre you intentionally trigger glitches to save 40% of the run stime

fathom oasis
#

There's gotta be rules, otherwise what are you even measuring

proper roost
#

there are very specific rules for each category of every game yogi

warm plinth
#

Well, records are set by fractions of a second, and specific categories have specific rules.

proper roost
#

if anything, there are too many rules

fathom oasis
#

Usually, count starts when it's most convenient

warm plinth
#

Games are generally timed by whatever method is most consistent across platforms/hardware to ensure fairness. That's why a lot of games use IGT

tribal wharf
#

thats what i mean, and the base rules and categories should be simplified.

fathom oasis
#

But is usually just trivially set by that games running history

warm plinth
#

You have to have rules based on the specific game because games are not created equal.

tribal wharf
#

real speed runs done by real humans with no cheating, and cheating

warm plinth
#

That is how they are already categorized.

#

Glitchless is separate from glitch runs, TAS runs are separate from non-TAS, etc.

fathom oasis
#

There are TAS runs if you wanna see how far a run could actually be taken to

#

They're fun to see from time to time

#

If anything, what I hate about speedrunning, is the day to day

#

Just mindlessly spamming the same game over and over

tribal wharf
#

if feel like the big meme of AGDQ is "okay im going to stand in this corner and jump until i teleport behind this wall im not supposed to i need some silence for it" tries 14 times, does it entire crowd claps and cheers.

warm plinth
#

What I hate about speed running is the speed runners who are just perpetually negative no matter what

fathom oasis
#

50/50 of bricking a run 2h into the attempt? Sucks to be you

warm plinth
#

Like they're just fuckin miserable the entire time and can't even be happy when they break a record. They just feel relief

fathom oasis
warm plinth
#

Oh for sure. I just avoid the negative peeps, though it sucks when theyre the WR holder

#

Because generally I want to watch those at least onve

#

Once

tribal wharf
#

lets take example of one of my personal favorite speed runners of all time, arcus

warm plinth
#

Like Distortion2 had a lot of Dark Souls records back in the day and that guy makes me want to punch him

fathom oasis
#

You gotta realize WR are (almost) never achieved in a marathon run

tribal wharf
#

for those who have heard the name before, i dont have to say anything more

fathom oasis
#

For a WR it usually means countless resets

warm plinth
#

I don't watch attempts. I just watch WR videos on youtube

fathom oasis
#

That's why i say the day to day is misserable

tribal wharf
#

but he has, or had the world record in ninja gaiden NES

proper roost
#

why don't you like dist

#

oh sorry i scrolled up

tribal wharf
#

1 and 2, at least for a period and he is very, normal and quiet person

fathom oasis
#

He doesnt like the guy running it

#

Cuz he's too negative

#

Fair

#

I dislike overly negative people as well

#

In general

warm plinth
#

I'm sure he's fine as a person. I just don't like watching his runs. Plus he has streamer voice and that tilts me lol

toxic pewter
#

nothin worse than a negative person

proper roost
#

does he??

toxic pewter
#

m i rite

proper roost
#

i've only watched a few things but he kinda talks rly slow and drawls a bit

#

that's very opposite of streamer voice

tribal wharf
#

i dont really like watching all that many streamers as it is

warm plinth
#

It's less common now. But it's that weird upward inflection at the end of every sentence they say

#

Hard to describe

round pendant
warm plinth
#

Is there?

round pendant
#

it is definitely annoying

round pendant
warm plinth
#

Yeah it just grates on my nerves

proper roost
#

oh i think that's actually just a zoomer thing

#

slash west coast (some places)

fathom oasis
#

Z word

warm plinth
#

It's sort of like that but not question sounding

round pendant
#

I can't stand youtuber accent

proper roost
#

I think streaming rots your brain a lot so I don't really have any animosity towards people who change their persona on stream for the brand

round pendant
proper roost
warm plinth
#

Anyway like I said I have nothing against him personally. Just don't enjoy watching a speed run that he's doing really well on but he's just negative about the entire thing. And at the end he's not even happy. It's wild shit

round pendant
#

who we talkin about?

warm plinth
#

Distortion2. He's a dark souls speedrunner

round pendant
#

never heard of him

proper roost
#

all the speedrunners i like aren't the top of their games

#

i think top speedrunners tend to be bad content creators

round pendant
#

the best speedrunner is clint

tribal wharf
#

you use the spin slash to delete bosses sure, but the run is still hard as balls to complete

#

let alone fast

warm plinth
#

I like nemz and catalystz. But I can only watch catalystz's commentary videos because he also has Hella streamer voice

#

In his stream

#

He doesn't in his commentary cideos

#

Videos

tribal wharf
#

and there is no obvious point he like, jumps into some pit while hitting a bird

#

and gets sent to the final boss

fathom oasis
#

I actually enjoy reading about it when one guy joins the scene and suddenly starts grabbing WRs in every category for a certain game

#

It's like "move away folks, let me show how it's done"

tribal wharf
#

so everything is skill based with huge room for improvements, 11:20 is way different than a 10:47 timer

warm plinth
#

I really like squillakilla too

#

Plus his voice makes me happy

#

I’m takin a break from gaming today and doing a puzzle

i'm galvanized so i'll just say it, it's because being critical of peoples' voices is difficult to do after hanging around a lot of people who are trying to do voice train and so there's a ton of ppl with awkward voices and inflections

That's different to someone putting on a pretentious made up voice to sound cool or whatever for a stupid youtube video persona

which is fine i'm sure there's plenty of experiences you have that makes me ignorant of those things too

It's not really something I scheduled; I saw it after usage of my time machine. The US government bans the importation of animoo figures and gundam models in December of 2029, right as I make one of my very few purchases of animoo figures, and I snap.

do you use a thanos glove, Luerce?

No. With my extensive familiarity of Nasuverse concepts, I myself turn into a conceptual universe type being that is able to compress the very baseline structure of the universe using what could be considered by bare hands at that moment.

Its great for buffé appetizer

depending on the buffet i guess

idk if chinese buffets have it

Very common to have some sort of vegetable soup at the start of dinner

I like to make one of those one pot slops as i like to call it. Just pack it in with bunch of flavor, id start with chopping up bacon into small pieces frying them nice and crispy then add chili garlic and onion into it and saute them in the bacon fats After they are done id add chicken breasts that are marinated with some honey herbs and spices soy etc get them and cook them up a bit. After id add the rice into the pot with some coconut milk and water and let the whole thing cook through under medium heat. I like to finish it with some Koskenlaskija™ but idk if you have it there

They took the TC part out

It can only be sent on SS now

lusty grotto

yup

round pendant
#

bruh

lusty grotto
#

they did that specifically so you dont have to track it

#

and honestly its not a huge loss

round pendant
#

I guess that makes sense, if nothing requires tracking then they don't need to make functioning UI elements as a baseline

lusty grotto
#

that was the philosophy at the start

round pendant
#

Yeah and it's fucking stupid

lusty grotto
#

but i highly doubt all classes are thoroughly covered

#

lifebloom applying efflo is another that i can think of

but it's whatever in the case of VO, I'd have preferred if they gave us a built in way to track it and make the choice between SS/TClap more impactful tho

Not my least favorite by any stretch but honestly I think it will go down as one of the expansions of all time

im watching max lol

warm plinth
#

Did you see Rextroy's video where he was blowing people up on his naked DK with the bomb embellish @toxic pewter

toxic pewter
#

No but I watch his videos

#

Undermine actually may go down as one of the best world PvP zones of all time. Those who know, know

#

I will say it was EPIC fights goin down in there

warm plinth
#

He found out that the bombs would all spawn on top of each other if you were on an elevated asset, so he'd stand on top of a random barrel and then when people attacked him, he'd grip them up and they'd just explode instantly

undone beacon
#

you just liked vehicular manslaughter

toxic pewter
warm plinth
#

It was very clever and enjoyable to watch lol. And he even had it where he'd be super low health to bait them (because I guess the PvP scaling that kicks in when you enter pvp combat would prevent him from being 1-shot)

mighty valley
#

And yet it’s the worst ever? For so many reasons you can’t even say?

lusty grotto
#

i enjoyed tww

#

good raids

#

very good turn around on keys

mighty valley
#

It’s hard for me to rate tww, since I have a young kid and also my house burned down

#

So I just kinda dipped in and put

#

Out

lusty grotto
#

the only problem with TWW is the fact that the patch cycle is getting boring, but that's not TWW's fault

mighty valley
#

But yeah the raids and dungeons were generally good

lusty grotto
#

and turbo boost ilvl extensions fucking suck

mighty valley
#

Story annoyed me a lot but wow story hasn’t been make or break for me ever lol

toxic pewter
#

Best way I can put it

#

Bad

lusty grotto
#

i mean TWW started good on the story

#

at least there was an effort

mighty valley
#

Remember when I was saying you don’t back up your thoughts

lusty grotto
#

it just fell off, to nothing

mighty valley
#

And here you are saying “just bad”

toxic pewter
#

I am backing it up

#

Just bad “expansion”

#

I call it the shrinkflation xpac

lusty grotto
#

what does that mean

toxic pewter
#

Just everything from the story to the zones to the characters to the gameplay

#

All of it is lesser

#

In quality and substance

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

i dont know what game you played in the past

#

but it felt like the entire opposite for me

toxic pewter
#

History will all but forget the war within

#

I already have

#

Can feel how disjointed things were behind the scenes too

#

lusty grotto
#

well i hope so, history is for important shit, not video games

toxic pewter
#

Didn’t know how good we had it in shadowlands to be honest

lusty grotto
#

ragebaiting

#

im ok with your TWW opinion

#

but your SL opinion can get thanos'd forever

toxic pewter
#

I’m actually serious

lusty grotto
#

i know you are

#

youve mentioned it before

toxic pewter
#

Df alpha trees ruined a lot of the enjoyment for me

lusty grotto
#

a bunch of times

#

SL is fucking garbage

toxic pewter
#

Since df alpha game has been going downhill

lusty grotto
#

i have never rage unsubbed from this game before

#

except for SL

warm plinth
#

WoD is the only expansion I've ever played that I genuinely thought was trash. Every other expansion has had enough redeeming qualities that I'm either neutral or enjoyed it

lusty grotto
#

i have taken unsub breaks, not rage unsubbed

mighty valley
#

there are things I really liked about shadowlands and nothing I really liked in tww, so if I was doing a personal vibes ranking, SL would win. But I can see with my working eyes that a lot of things were objectively worse about SL lol

#

I’ll give a lot of credit for everything undermine though, clearly made with a lot of love even if it wasn’t my exact taste

lusty grotto
#

i have done 3 unsubs since vanilla

#

the first two were breaks, MoP and WoD

#

and rage unsub on SL

warm plinth
#

Nim you tanking next season?

lusty grotto
#

nothing is binary, SL is allowed to have good stuff while still being absolute fucking trash for the game

#

keys? yea

#

always

#

but im probably gonna be even more flexible on DPS roles etc

warm plinth
#

We might have a bit of a group going on

lusty grotto
#

i cant really commit to anything

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's not that kind of group

#

Just peeps interested in keying together sometimes

lusty grotto

oh yeah sure

i mean the tazavesh thing is probably not going away (until exp releases anyway)

thats literally

if they read the combatlog they dont work anymore

unreal yarrow

Anything listed as built for the 12. patch number. Were you not in beta?

your ui should not look any different

they made that point from the start

yeah but apparently dbm and crap like that still work?

jagged pier

no dbm just gives u the blizzard timers in a different coat of paint

toxic pewter

oh ok I see now

jagged pier

it doesnt do what it used to do

#

well it will count attempts etc

#

but it doesnt read the comabt log

toxic pewter
jagged pier

it just shows what bliz allows to show in its own way

toxic pewter
#

Ok so basically its more restricted etc

#

but still notifies and crap

#

doesnt read combat log interesting

#

does details even work

#

or can only use blizz dam meters

jagged pier

it just reskins their damage meter

toxic pewter
#

I see

#

Definitely interesting times

round pendant
#

That's one way to describe it

toxic pewter
#

I would of liked to see them do more

#

but alas will see how it plays out

jagged pier
#

they did

#

they then pulled them back because ppl complained

toxic pewter
#

weak auras is all gone right

#

just straight up wont work at all

jagged pier
#

the ones ppl use for raid definatly wont

#

dont know about the addon

#

i doubt it

toxic pewter
#

at least I remember reading th author said he wasnt updating it for 12.0

#

then again not sure what if at all will or wont work

unreal yarrow
#

No addon not updated for 12.0 will load

jagged pier
#

if ppl are looking for a plug and play Luxthos has working uis for specs

toxic pewter
#

did I read mythic dungeon tools isnt gonna work

#

is that true

jagged pier
#

i dont see why not, cause its out of combat

#

maybe they just cba'd

undone beacon
#

A lot of it will come down to whether that addon creator wants to port their addon to 12.0 or not

#

A lot of random small addons will just die because the devs can’t be assed

As long as my Camp Twacker addon works I will be happy

thing is most ppl used WAs mainly as a cd manager

Ya and that stuff is gone

jagged pier

when there are multiple addons that do that and still work

in 12

coarse bay

I saw some cd manager setups with resources and stuff that look just like wa packs

But its like 3-4 addons

jagged pier
#

???

#

tell me when literally still works

#

and is 1 addon

coarse bay
#

Separate addons for resource tracking and stuff

jagged pier
#

you would need a second addon for a rage bar i suppose

#

but i dont even pay attention to mine any way

coarse bay
#

4 addons, but we dont need a cast bar

jagged pier
#

this is 1 addon btw

coarse bay

so saying u need loads

I wont go so hard in the paint

jagged pier

is just not true at all

jagged pier
coarse bay
#

Oh i have no idea then, i havent personally messed with ui stuff yet

#

The luxthos one looks good

jagged pier
#

also looks like in that screenshot the bliz default CD manager as its split into major and minior spells

coarse bay
#

Does it have dynamic buff locations?

jagged pier
#

looks like his major is middle and minior under player bar

jagged pier
#

i dont use it just someone in my guild was linking it today

coarse bay
#

Ah

jagged pier
#

because its basically plug and play

#

i would presume so tho

#

but u might no be able to read buffs anyway

#

as that would require to read the combat log

coarse bay
#

The ones they allow in cd manager

#

But cd manager locks the position they show in

jagged pier
#

probably

#

just go on ptr and test

#

then move across on server up
