Oh yeah, nope.

Well where did this come from then

I never knew it was seperate

#

I recommend buying whatever this is

Lucky you I guess 🤣

It's a cooling system and it also charges your consoles

The design was disgusting tbh

what kinda cheese ?

frail bloom
#

Cream cheese

#

Idk

#

Just cheese

gusty seal
#

i prefer cheese made from Imp Breast Milk

frail bloom

I don't wanna eat cheese anymore

gusty seal

Resurrection time

frail bloom
#

Thanks

dark thunder
#

What if instead of the icon of sin it was called

gusty seal
#

Icon of Jin and its Jack Daniels ?

frail bloom
#

Where can I find bfc ammo in ressurection

#

Got one arena left and it's waaayy too long

green estuary
#

I actually have no clue

frail bloom
#

Oh no

gusty seal
#

I usually just hold them when ever I find them till I wanna make video lol but hmm i think atleast 2. right before arena 3 and there is one hidden somewhere argh around arena 2 i believe. I saved my 3 shots for litterally the last 20 seconds of the kreed makyr fight in my video. had to make sure that mf stayed down. ur on max sliders ?

frail bloom
#

Yup

gusty seal
#

how many bfc do you have left?

#

the arena is the cosmic baron and acolyte leader ?

frail bloom
#

No it's the cyberdemon with the tanks and komodo

#

I have zero bfc left

gusty seal
#

for me when the sliders are getting close to being maxed out, its really going to come down to.... memorizing enemy spawns, memorizing mele pick ups for the dread mace so you can tank big guys and there leaders back to back. and of course that parry, is your life. the bfc will mean very little if you can't do what I mentioned. at max sliders bfc becomes more for show in the end. its nice when you get it but the komodo. hmmm be more aggressive than he is... if that makes sense. if your on the defensive, push him, and parry like your life depends on it cus it does.

frail bloom
#

I think I'm dying a lot cuz I don't know who spawns

#

I gotta memorize them but for now I'm looking for at least one bfc ammo

green estuary
frail bloom
#

Lmao

#

Vega has other plans

gusty seal
#

dang vega lol

#

frail bloom
#

I FOUND ONE

Oh no

NO

#

I hate my life

#

It's always the same thing

#

I mean, this is just sadistic

#

You know what I'll continue tommorow

#

For my sanity

#

Crazy how I've only spent 24 hrs on this

#

Entire run

Why has my CPU hit peaks of slightly over 6.1 GHz before when I’ve read online that the max boost speed for my CPU is 5.2 GHz?

#

Granted they probably don’t test it in Indy games maybe ig?

Like a crazy person

The month of november reminds me of christmas coming up so I just set up the christmas tree

#

And the tree looks reaaaal nice in the dark so I keep it

Boooo

#

Jkjk lol

frail bloom
#

I think I might finish the max slider run today

#

Then I gotta do the D3 slider run

#

Absolute torture

green estuary
frail bloom
#

To be the pioneer

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

I'm taking a break after my D3 run

#

Which will add another 40 hrs

#

It won't be hard persay just very tedious

cerulean pagoda
#

its been nearly 5 months since TDA came out damn

#

it still feels like it came out yesterday

#

i still look at trailers getting excited when i know its already out and ive played it

random sand
#

5 months and i got 99 hours on it. i gotta crack the 100

cerulean pagoda
#

i have more than 100hrs

#

152

random sand
random sand
# cerulean pagoda 152

i wish i could have that. i've just completed everything this game has to offer so idrk what to do with it other than play levels again or experiment in the ripatorium

cerulean pagoda
#

i have not even 100%'d the game yet

random sand
#

god damn

cerulean pagoda
#

im just trying to calm down from my max sliders run by doing like 4-5 runs of DOOM eternal

#

and maybe ill return to play the game

#

ultra nightmare or ripatorium deletions

random sand
cerulean pagoda
#

yes

#

quite literally torturous

frail bloom
#

You finished?

cerulean pagoda
#

i said it here a while ago but yes

random sand
#

it took me about as long as it takes me to beat doom eternal 😭

cerulean pagoda
#

i finished it yesterday

frail bloom
#

I'm on reckoning, got one arena left

cerulean pagoda
#

good luck

frail bloom
#

I got a checkpoint that spawns me across the map again and on the hardest arena too

cerulean pagoda
frail bloom
#

Rip

cerulean pagoda
#

getting flashbacks for me thinking that the checkpoints in forsaken plains were insane but i got used to it

frail bloom
#

Well it's worse in reckoning

cerulean pagoda
#

yeah

frail bloom
#

No not reckoning

#

I mean resurrection

#

I'm on resurrection not reckoning

#

I goofed them up

random sand
cerulean pagoda
#

the checkpoints in reckoning are still brutal

frail bloom
cerulean pagoda
#

this one checkpoint spawned me behind an aggadon hunter that i already killed 2 arenas before the arena with the vagary champion boss

#

in the final level

frail bloom
#

These checkpoints are always so awful

#

Genuinely worst part of dark ages

#

It's the worst part

#

The checkpoints

cerulean pagoda
#

the worst part will always be the life sigil menu

#

just kidding the checkpoints are brutal

#

probably even more worse

random sand
frail bloom
#

When you u unlock a new checkpoint that's your checkpoint

#

You don't spawn to the nearest one

#

Just the newest one

cerulean pagoda
#

i hope the checkpoints get fixed in a later update

#

hopefujluy the ripatiroum pt 2 update

frail bloom
#

They better bc it made this run 10× more painful

cerulean pagoda
#

ripatorium pt 2 update*

frail bloom
#

Siege took me like 2hrs more then it needed to be

#

Just cuz of a checkpoint bug

cerulean pagoda
#

siege checkpoints are so brutal it feels like theyre intentionally trying to spawn you 9 miles away from the arena you died on

random sand
frail bloom
#

It's always if you unlock a new checkpoint

#

Then you're sticking with it

cerulean pagoda
#

the checkpoints remind me of the vergil checkpoint (1st fight) from DMC3 where you spawn ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS YOU WALK UP TO FIGHT HIM

green estuary
#

this is why it’s important to just go from right to left (or vice versa) on these maps

#

Easy to keep track of where you’ve been, and checkpoints are usually better

#

Or, just remember where the secret key is and start from that side of the map

frail bloom
#

Or they could've made them good I would've liked that

cerulean pagoda
#

i usually joink the flail thrower before moving anywhere else

#

get all the gold to update the chainshot and shield and i get a free survival build

frail bloom
#

Well

#

I'm screwed

#

I finished the final arena but now I got kreed

#

And oh my is he jank

#

There's no one on planet earth who finds max sliders fun

#

And fun fact

#

There's a black screen before you reload, but the game plays before that

#

So I either get lucky and dodge or lose half my health or possibly die before reloading

frail bloom
#

I don't mean to be rude

scenic lichen
#

especially with max projectile speed on 120% game speed

#

Fodder become more annoying than super heavies themselves

#

Charged projectiles from soldiers constantly being a pain in my side no pun intended

frail bloom
#

Facs

#

Gotta constantly keep moving and strafing

#

You also gotta utilize that shield throw

scenic lichen
#

Since TDA doesn’t have the same mobility as eternal fodder become a lot more threatening in large amounts

frail bloom
#

Great instant fodder clear

cerulean pagoda
#

even fodder projectiles torture your shield

#

xon max sliders

frail bloom
#

And imp fence attack instantly breaks your shield

scenic lichen
#

Imp fence projectiles piss me off

frail bloom
#

I never disliked them till max sliders

#

Now I hate them

neon perch
#

What was the thought process. Like oh yeah we'll make this projectile deal insane damage, home in on the player with a 50ft tall and wide hitbox, blocks all projectiles, blocks the shield toss and deals major shield damage on impact. The ONLY way to consistently avoid it is shield bashing which honestly reads as the game taking pity on you.

scenic lichen
#

I feel like they should not be doing as much damage to your shield as a regular projectile

neon perch
#

It's as stupidly designed as their version of hitscan.

#

They fundamentally misunderstood the lesson classic Doom tried to impart.

scenic lichen
#

I’ve gotten screwed by heavies because I didn’t prioritize the 5 imps shooting fences at me

green estuary
#

tracking in general is just way overdone in this game

red peak
green estuary
#

the imp and nightmare imp stalker's power attacks are the most egregious examples

red peak
green estuary
#

thank you, I'm sure nobody has ever thought to do that

red peak
#

Lol im just saying, I've never had a problem with that spefic kind of attack

green estuary
#

at least you can shield bash into the regular imps, but when the nightmare imp is cloaked, you literally cannot do anything except run away

#

aggressively tracking projectiles that block all forms of retaliation are lame as hell

red peak
neon perch
#

Unrelease the game.

#

It's joever.

green estuary
red peak
green estuary
#

tanking a nightmare imp projectile is literally just suicide lmao

#

and tanking more than one of the fodder imp's charged projectiles is probably worse

red peak
red peak
green estuary
#

brother

red peak
#

Bro its really not that bad

green estuary
#

the projectiles track you

#

you have a very specific window at which you are allowed to dodge it, or else it just follows you

#

like I said, the tracking in this game is overdone as hell, and it quite literallly discourages aggressive play

red peak
#

Look idk what to tell you, it always works for me lol

red peak
green estuary
#

a single fodder imp's fence projectile deals 50 damage on nightmare man

#

this isn't like eternal where you can just recover your resources as you get damaged

uneven dragon
green estuary
#

2016 and eternal didn't have any hitscan

red peak
#

You have 200 more health, plus the short moment of immortality when you hit 5 health

uneven dragon
#

i know 2016 and Eternal substituted it for equivalents

red peak
uneven dragon
#

i don’t get why Papaya dislikes TDA’s hitscan though it’s just literally hitscan

red peak
green estuary
#

that's the issue

uneven dragon
red peak
green estuary
#

valid criticisms aren't invalid because you personally haven't noticed them

red peak
#

All im saying is that you cant just say its stupid or give up on it- find a way to deal with it lol

#

That sounds ruder than I ment for it to lol sorry

uneven dragon
red peak
#

Its a valid criticism, but the problem is that its suppose to be hard, if it was easy then it wouldnt be fun

green estuary
# red peak We never said that

yet, your part in this discussion was just you talking about how said projectiles don't bother you, since you just block or tank them
I say tracking projectiles are poorly designed because they make you spend a disproportionate amount of energy on a single projectile and discourage aggressive play, and your response was "they don't bother me"

neon perch
#

Chaingunners and spiders are just as effective 100 yards away from the player as they are 10ft.

#

That's not how hitscan works.

uneven dragon
#

🤷‍♀️ ok but this hitscan is designed around using the shield to block it so

neon perch
#

They made it bad on purpose, yes.

#

It's still bad.

red peak
uneven dragon
#

i dont think the way it is implemented makes it a bad mechanic i think it enhances fights quite a lot in TDA

red peak
uneven dragon
#

and yea like somedude said it is on two of the squishiest enemies of the game

#

that you're meant to run at

neon perch
red peak
#

Or sheildbash the spider and shoot them with the ssg, its an instant kill

red peak
neon perch
#

Yes, and their hitscan design is still bad.

#

We can go at this all day long if you want.

#

You're not changing my mind nor are you changing the game.

green estuary
# red peak Yes, but ita fine cause theyre easy to deal with

not the point
classic doom hitscanners were inherently very difficult to deal with, yet their design was fairer, because they have a random spread of projectiles within a fixed angle of spread
so if you were closer, they would kill you incredibly fast but if you were further away you'd take much less damage

red peak
neon perch
#

Hitscan enemies are easy to deal with in this game, and they don't represent a real problem in any scenario. But as far as hitscan enemies go, from a critical point of view, yeah they're pretty bad.

green estuary
neon perch
red peak
neon perch
#

I just said they're badly designed and left it at that.

red peak
uneven dragon
solid nacelle
#

What's worse, tracking projectiles that are hard to avoid which deal tons of shield damage or hitscanners that deal constant chip damage from long distances

green estuary
#

tracking, 100%

neon perch
green estuary
#

not even close, at least in the game's current execution

neon perch
#

Again, even if spiders and chaingunners are easy to deal with.

solid nacelle
#

I think generally I dislike the tracking projectiles more. Especially those fuckass whiplash projectiles that take up an entire hallway

neon perch
solid nacelle
#

So awesome!

neon perch
#

Fascinating design.

red peak
green estuary
#

at least they don't have their fucking wave blast from eternal

neon perch
#

And yes I'm tossing 2016 into the mix because imp accuracy might as well be homing.

green estuary
#

funnily enough the tyrant's same attack is much better to deal with in eternal

#

because even though it tracks you better, the hitbox isn't as comically tall

#

as opposed to the whiplash's version which you literally have to double jump over

red peak
green estuary
#

they aren't that big of a deal in eternal because you can just out-dps everything (also, air camping is a thing)

#

doesn't mean they aren't total bullshit

uneven dragon
#

i cant think of when a homing attack in TDA has particularly fucked me up outside of just being thrown at me at the same time as lots of other things

#

especially given the ability to rush away from or block a projectile always

red peak
#

Plus, the projectiles despawn pretty quick and turn pretty slow from what i have seen, so you can dodge it and be fine

green estuary
#

it's not even that they're universally incredibly difficult to deal with, aside from being annoying
it's that increasing the speed of said projectiles and removing their tracking would be so much more enjoyable

wheat sigil
#

make tda into one of those 2D, top down games where you're just controlling a speceship or something with a quadrillion projectiles everywhere

green estuary
#

the rev's missiles in doom 2 were special because they had tracking and dealt a bunch of damage to you
now you've got damn near every projectile in the game having some form of tracking (even mancubus fireballs, for whatever reason) and it both cheapens the effect and makes the gameplay inherently less engaging
what's more fun to do as a player--succesfully strafing around a fast-moving projectile headed towards you, or retreating away from a slow-moving tracking projectile because it won't leave you the fuck alone?

auto sprint makes projectiles a good amount dodgeable

green estuary
#

I think it's safe to say that 95% of the player base has auto sprint turned on

red peak
green estuary
#

if they know about the setting, I cannot think of a reason why they wouldn't have it turned on

red peak
frail bloom
#

I mean if that's the only problem with it

#

Seems like a really easy issue to fix

red peak
frail bloom
#

Just decrease accuracy over range

#

They could easily arrange that

neon perch
green estuary
#

I'm fairly sure that the hitscanners already have a cone spread for their attacks

frail bloom
#

They said that?

neon perch
#

If they change the way it works I'd be pleasantly surprised.

green estuary
#

but it seems to be very narrow

obsidian shard
#

There is also the fact that pressure units are supposed to well, pressure you

frail bloom
#

I don't remember them saying that

#

Let's be honest they're not perfect

#

They make mistakes

#

Hugo said like two streams ago that projectiles phasing through enemies is a bug

wheat sigil
frail bloom
#

Damn took you 5 months to notice????

neon perch
solar cairn
frail bloom
#

They're figuring it out with us at this point

green estuary
#

it is set to either true or false

frail bloom
#

He said he disliked it

green estuary
#

and there is also a distance specified for how far away a projectile can pass through another AI

frail bloom
#

Like what am I supposed to tell you

neon perch
#

They should've brought back infighting for this.

frail bloom
#

He literally said that

green estuary
neon perch
#

It's been a neglected aspect of the series ever since 2016, and even in that game it was insanely difficult to pull off.

he commands the horde

#

kill him and it will never end

Toe to toe with a cybie then a imp fence attack blows you up

green estuary
#

skill issue tbh

frail bloom
frail bloom
#

I have seen a clip of a rev getting mauled by two mancs

#

And it actually dies

green estuary
#

I'll actually send the part of the code that dictates whether the projectile passes through an enemy

frail bloom

Who decided that was a good idea.

which it shouldnt imo

it literally has a "passThroughFriendlies" variable HuGun_Martin

hey yall

what is your most favorite TDA level and your least favorite TDA level

red peak

#

i dont think mech or dragon levels count

#

My favorite is harbor of souls or abyssal forest, least favourite is prob hebeth, but even that for me is like a B+

red peak
cerulean pagoda
#

abyssal forest and the forge level are so forgettable

#

at least for me

green estuary
cerulean pagoda
#

okay got it

#

my least favourite level is the one where you fly around on the dragon fighting cyberdemons in a molten hallway

green estuary
#

Yeah that’s the holy city

cerulean pagoda
#

holy city of aratum

scenic lichen

#

holy city of auratum

#

#

Highlight of that level was the agaddon champion

green estuary
harsh egret
#

I love the atmosphere in abyssal forest and pursuit of demons is a banger track

cerulean pagoda
#

pursuit of demons is pretty good

#

i love how majority of the early tracks you listen to in game are callbacks to classic doom music

#

with the whole upbeat metal thing rather than brutally torturing your ears

#

like most other metal

pliant coral
scenic lichen
#

ngl i dont like belly of the beast

#

dont get me wrong its a cool level but the encounters piss me off

#

at least on the sliders i play on

#

acid on the ground too

pliant coral
#

I hate it for I have to Kill Him, but I do agree some of the encounters ain’t that good

solar cairn
#

Doom: Mick Gordon Ages?

cerulean pagoda
frail bloom
#

Or sentinel barracks

#

Either one

cerulean pagoda
#

theres people that are still crazy about the mick gordon drama lmao

frail bloom
#

If we're not counting mech/dragon levels, spire of nethrul is the worst

cerulean pagoda
#

spire of nerthul is pretty good

frail bloom
#

I hate the look

cerulean pagoda
#

komodo track is still stuck in my head from the first time i saw it

scenic lichen
frail bloom
#

It's just so depressing looking

cerulean pagoda
#

edgy level

frail bloom
#

And not in a good way

#

No not edgy just so boring

scenic lichen
#

at least in aratum you could fairly pin point where the two secret arenas were

frail bloom
#

But yeah Khalims atmosphere is unmatched

#

The most dark agey of them all

cerulean pagoda
#

i love the opening levels of eternal and TDA

frail bloom
#

When I think of dark ages I think of Khalim

scenic lichen
#

khalim is on par with hell on earth for me

cerulean pagoda
#

they give you the general idea of the game, eternals opening level gives you the general idea that its gonna be a hell invasion on earth, tdas opening level is supposed to be dark, like the dark ages

scenic lichen
#

most people hate turret sections but i thought it worked well as a little bonus section at the end of khalim

frail bloom
#

I'm fine with it on khalim but like siege pt 2 c'mon now

scenic lichen
#

plus unchained predator makes that sequence SLAP

cerulean pagoda
#

the guy in the beginning cutscene that got his guts clawed out by the weakest enemy in the game reinforces the game is gonna be dark(i only wish that the spilling guts were on the camera tho)

scenic lichen
frail bloom
#

Ye like the titan just murdered some guy in a mech but we kill it with some turret

scenic lichen
#

the end of siege part 1 was sick with that titan rising out of the ground

frail bloom
#

Genuine question:

cerulean pagoda
scenic lichen
#

aura intro he destroys the castle's shield with an atlan

frail bloom
scenic lichen
#

then he just gets gunned down at the start of the next level...

frail bloom
#

Just get a bajillion of them

#

They clearly work well

scenic lichen
#

i sound nitpicky but this section also dragged a little too because its 4 charged shots instead of 3

frail bloom
scenic lichen
#

2 for the armor 2 for the titan

frail bloom
#

Just install a bunch of turrets why we wasting resources on mechs

scenic lichen
#

true...

#

like yeah gameplay is gameplay but why make those mechs if the titans go down from those charged bolts so quickly

frail bloom
#

Makes no sense

#

Like no way the slayer is the only one who can aim

#

What idiot was piloting it in khalim

#

Like c'mon man

scenic lichen
#

the slayer's mere touch turned the charged bolt into a BFC

#

The Sentinels were not just staving off an invasion but fighting a war. They would have incentive not just to fight back Titans but to be able to enter Hell and kill Titans there, and gain territory in Hell.

Also Atlans are versatile and turrets are not. The Slayer wouldn't have been able to save Hebeth with a turret.

scenic lichen
#

That

#

Makes a lot of sense actually

#

Wow

#

Still, those are some hecking powerful turrets

frail bloom
#

Ok

#

The black ball projectiles from kreed track you

#

Too many tracking projectiles in this game

#

Too much

uneven dragon
# scenic lichen what is your most favorite TDA level and your least favorite TDA level

hard to pick a favourite but it'd probably be Siege Part 1 (just a very well put together non linear sprawling level which also is the first to have a big range of demons) or Temple of Lomarith (tough but fair, some crazy puzzles, spooky ship, very fun, looks amazing) [any cosmic realm level is top tier really]
least favourite is either Abyssal Forest or Ancestral Forge, that part of the game is real forgettable and kinda blending together atp

doom TDA has some of the best levels ive seen in an FPS

frail bloom
cerulean pagoda
#

destroy his plasma shield, use the impaler, ssg cancel wwhen find the opening, break the flying thing, shield toss the makyr drones, use dreadmace when im close enough and hes faltered, thats how i get through the first phase, the second one just involves using the power of hope from pandoras box and hope that the projectiles that he shoots at you are parryables, if they arent, good luck

frail bloom
#

I already did the first

#

I'm on the second

cerulean pagoda
#

for the second one, shoot his shield as you parry the attacks he throws at you, strafe to the side so you dont get owned from the walls, its pretty easy, shoot impaler and switch to the power gaunlet so you can cancel some of the animations while hes stunned if youre unaware, you can bypass the rocket cooldowns by making the rocket hit the enemy faster, find the correct distance, spam rockets, weave through the circle things, and dont parry the yellow projectiles he throws at you, go back to plasma, punch him a couple of times, switch back to the mace, whack him, switch back to gaunlets, ssg cancel, go back to rockets, and idk i dont remember much more

#

he repeats the pattern from what i remember

frail bloom
#

Ye I am not switching melee mid fight

cerulean pagoda
#

all i can say is when he shoots the yellow projectiles strafe dont block so you can save shield health

toss up between unchained predator and infernal chasm ngl

but my personal equivalent is into the void

im inclined to say infernal chasm would be the equivalent just due to its placement in game i guess

As much as i wanna be super hyped it gets exhausting when there is almost nothing tangible to be excited about

Like i was excited for the Indy DLC when it came out and then i forgot about it and was pleasantly surprised when they announced it

That being said my excitement for Indy is nowhere near as much as mine for Doom but still

harsh egret

new info that been dropping from the hugo stream is always fun but until we're like a 2-3 weeks away from the release date, i cant really get hyped like that

Just live your life in the meantime, there are so many other cool things to get excited about that are actually tangible and available

I mean I like the Acolyte well enough but they're nowhere near dangerous enough

I don't like acolytes

half plaza

They're fun but they're not evasive assholes the way that Archviles and Summoners were

frail bloom

They are kinda evasive especially with their clones and teleporting

#

They're just not my cup of tea when it comes to design

half plaza

But not enough

frail bloom
#

Like some pirate thing?

#

And he has areas of denial, that's it?

half plaza

If he spawned more clones i think he'd be more interesting

I like the visual design, i just think he's underwhelming to fight in combat

#

Just fucking bum rush him while he's shield stunned

#

The cosmic bonkstick just folds him instantly

frail bloom
#

Smt ab it just feels plain

#

It's def a me thing

#

Not into pirate stuff

mystic barn

I make the mistake of including more than one Acolyte in Ripatorium set-ups. Their area denial attacks really fuck me off

Cough acolyte

uneven dragon

literally called archvile in the files
no wait it cant be the archvile cause he works different (ignore doom 3)
make it a bootleg instead

uncut needle

hugo better say screw it and put all 3 in the same arena

uneven dragon
#

make the archvile work like that anyway in eternal

half plaza
uneven dragon
#

oh agreed i am a big summoner fan

uncut needle
#

summoners had aura

uneven dragon
#

and i do love spirits even tho i think im in a minority there

half plaza
#

Also i think the Summoner worked well in 2016's tone

#

It's really funny to me how you deal with Archviles and Summoners the exact same way between 2016 and Eternal

#

I.E. stun and rush with lock on rockets

uneven dragon
#

it just makes no sense hugo literally changed it to the summoner because he couldnt do a reviving gimmick but then just had them be identical anyway

uncut needle
#

shoot it until it dies

uneven dragon
#

and even before eternal made that change nonsense it was already nonsense cause archviles did that in 3 😭

if you're having more trouble dodging a projectile at a higher game speed, that's not the game's fault, that's just your own reaction time

I was saying that since the DLC is (probably) much larger than individual parts of TAG 1/2 then it’d take much longer to showcase a first trailer

It's way worse outside of here. At most ppl here ask and may or may not have no sense of timeline, outside of here some ppl feel entitled that they should have the dlc relatively soon or it should've already dropped. This also extends to updates in general. Basically you think it's bad here but it's always worse on the other side is what I find

#

But yes support id, peddling them for more will lengthen the wait

#

I bet they're going through an immense amt of pressure and high expectations

obsidian shard

For sure

frail bloom
#

Ye I can feel it through the screen everytime Hugo says they're working hard

#

Like he really means it

#

I feel like he should go on here every once and a while he would see much more positive things

#

I know he surfs the web of peoples opinions which does broaden the horizon and does allow for all sorts of feedback but let's be honest how much of the info does he get is anything substantial or enrichening beyonds "ew raytracing where my micky g ew why is he parrying where muh quickswitch"

such as the bug (which has since been fixed, thankfully) where enemies didn't falter when you hit them with the dreadmace
