the-dark-ages

[cerulean pagoda]

yeah its rare to see that nowdays

[whole sky]

Also, how I inferred that Belly of the Beast was a 'convenient' story moment that's just there to extend the runtime...

Well, that's just dead space remake as a whole lol. the game's plot is just 'shit we gotta do X- oh shit that's been compromised, we gotta go for back-up plan Y- oh shit! the necromorphs are ruining everything, plan z- oh dammit we gotta fix that!'

like a comedy of terrors

Still a banger atmosphere tho

[cerulean pagoda]

because a lot of modern games usually just have their primary focus on one thing and leave everything else as filler in a long campaign

[magic spoke]

every cod campaign

me buying bo6 🤡

it was fun but its still ai slop

and has a ton of bs

[whole sky]

and even then belly of the beast at least made for a great and unique level

the start of it did have me walled on nightmare 150%

[cerulean pagoda]

on max sliders belly of the beast was cancerous

[frail bloom]

It felt ok

[whole sky]

you mean like, lowest parry window, lowest damage to enemies?

or literal max sliders

[frail bloom]

The leader manc encounter was kinda hard

[frail bloom]

Max sliders

We both played on max sliders

[whole sky]

interesting

I remember when raitro did the maximum difficulty run (so not max sliders, but just altered in a way that it makes for the most cancerous experience), it took bro 50 hours

[frail bloom]

Well he decided to do it on like his third run

No practice or understanding of the falter system, or knowledge the enemy placement

If he did it now he'd do much better

[whole sky]

fair

[cerulean pagoda]

i know a little bit but not too much

[frail bloom]

It's what carried me through

I know what to expect so I know who to target

[cerulean pagoda]

on some of my deaths on the encounters i learnt a lot on how to find openings, and mace timings

i learnt a little bit on how to mace without needing a falter window

[crisp zinc]

ultra nightmare

@cerulean pagoda

[cerulean pagoda]

what

[crisp zinc]

can you beat doom eternal ultra nightmare with only the combat shotgun

[cerulean pagoda]

challenge accepted

[crisp zinc]

ggs

i did

im thinking about becoming a doom content creator, maybe, hopefully idk

i don’t really have the skills for it, and my freshman year literally all of my classes are math and science so i have limited free time

[cerulean pagoda]

i would record a youtube video on the challenge but unfortunatly my laptop doesnt have the strength to record doom eternal above the limit of 15fps

[crisp zinc]

i got a good pc, but the thing is my entire life i’ve played doom on the xbox

and i’m good at it, but i’ve never played on pc

[cerulean pagoda]

im also more of a console player

[crisp zinc]

eyy my man

[cerulean pagoda]

i only really bought doom eternal on my laptop is just to play whenever im not at home

[crisp zinc]

i feel u

lowkey, i should record me beating the master levels on ultra nightmare on console

[magic spoke]

@frail bloom any tips on maintaining speed?

[crisp zinc]

as a start for content creation. but idk

[crisp zinc]

i’m not samir, but just utilize the meathook to its fullest potential, learn how to bunny hop, utilize dashes as well, and ballista boost

all of those things together will help you master the art of movement

[magic spoke]

i meant in tda

but i appreciate the help

[crisp zinc]

oh

[cerulean pagoda]

if you want to strafe move your camera in the direction you want to strafe so you still keep the run as the run is not universal

[crisp zinc]

if you care, i can also help with that, i’m a no life with all 3 doom games

[magic spoke]

sure any advice is welcome

[green estuary]

Try steam recording
It takes almost no hit out of my performance even when I’m playing TDA

[crisp zinc]

shield bash often, uhh strafe, bunny hop, and shield bash to enemies that you need to get to, to position yourself across the map

idk tda is kinda hard in that aspect, i’m not too sure with its movement systems

[frail bloom]

Don't jump

Jump only when you absolutely need to

I find jump spamming to be bad

And always shield bash whenever you can

Find a fodder, and shield bash to it to keep speed

Especially helpful whenever a komodo pops up

[wheat sigil]

bhops

[magic spoke]

duality of man

[frail bloom]

Tbf I don't really know how to bhop bc jumping slows you down

So I just sprint

[wheat sigil]

if you have high speed, bhopping is the only way to maintain it

[magic spoke]

i can understand that seeing how they really emphasize ground movement

[magic spoke]

i have jump set to r3 so i can aim while jumping

[frail bloom]

Ye idk how anyone bhops on this game I've never seen anyone do it

And I don't think you need it to maintain speed or smt

Just keep running

[wheat sigil]

if you have higher speed than running speed, you do

[magic spoke]

aight. i also need to get to shield throw being l2 now cus i swapped them

[frail bloom]

I never see that tho

[wheat sigil]

and if tou don't, maintaing speed literally isn't an issue

[frail bloom]

I don't know an instance where you're any faster

Except shieldbash but it stops you in your place when you hit smt

And there's no air control either

[wheat sigil]

yeah, but bhopping is still the only way to maintain high speeds

[frail bloom]

I understand that in 2016 or eternal but I literally cannot see how you can bhop if the game slows you down if you jump too much

[wheat sigil]

[frail bloom]

Like I can't visualize it

[frail bloom]

Ah

Well I have sprint on

On console

[magic spoke]

do u feel a delay when quick swapping cus i do

[frail bloom]

Ye you can't quickswap

That's intentional

[magic spoke]

i thought u could on 150

or at least on launch

[frail bloom]

Not as fast as prior games

[wheat sigil]

you can't really animation cancel ye

not without shield swaps at least

and some other rare stuff

[solid nacelle]

I just wish I could cancel my melee animations

hello

[gusty seal]

i was checkin ur stuff. nice katana. you made it?

[whole sky]

thankss

I beat the run

Somehow final battle was harder than reckoning, expected the cyberdemon leader fight in reckoning to wall me but it went fine

They really did change the Old One since my last playthrough in June, felt like I had to re-learn the fight and on 150% speed at that

but it was fun. absolute fantastic game

[gusty seal]

@obsidian shard imma try mancubus mayhem ! sounds fun reducing kaibz mod enchancements and starting from there 😄

AI sludge

[whole sky]

Another reason why AI hasn't replaced us completely yet, is because only a human can come up with lines like these

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a4tI8bMdyM

[green estuary]

physically painful to watch

[whole sky]

I have only watched 2005 DOOM. Big 5/10 film imo, perhaps 5.5/10

Annihilation, Ima stay on the sidelines lol

tho i'd have it over an ai-generated doom film

[vernal brook]

Run

[whole sky]

bro I remember when seeing him say that line on dark ages' release day when I bought it that day

I pogged

even tho he's still under maykr control mostly, he still chooses to be heroic and ensure no man gets left behind. what a gigachad

[vernal brook]

I tweaked so hard

[whole sky]

it was also out of nowhere. it worked since it was relatively early game, chapter 6 or so

or chap 7-8, dunno, but def around third way through. game was setting itself up as something great and damn right it is

[magic spoke]

absolutely love when i try to shield bash a heavy and instead locks onto some random fucking zombie no where near me

[whole sky]

lmao

I love when i got launched into the sky from cyberdemon's pillars

[magic spoke]

oh dude they need to fix that asap

[green estuary]

it's not a bug
once you press the shield charge button, you are no longer magnetized to the target demon and your path is a straight line
meaning if the heavy demon dashes out of the way or a fodder demon walks into your path, you won't hit your target

[warm ibex]

I don't think that's the issue he's talking about

[magic spoke]

i know the shield thing isnt a bug (still frustrating) but the cyberdemon one has to be

[green estuary]

what's the one with the cyberdemon

[magic spoke]

the spikes it spawns can launch you insanely high and fast at times

[green estuary]

yeah that's not a bug either lmao (although it is annoying)
there's a stat in the files that determines how much an attack or projectile displaces the slayer on impact
and sometimes if you are moving a certain direction, your forward momentum can get redirected upwards if you get bumped

[magic spoke]

ok then thats a stupid game mechanic

[green estuary]

occasionally an agaddon can literally knock you into the air as well

[spark elm]

Skyrim style.

[green estuary]

knockback? kinda

[magic spoke]

theres knock back and then theres sending you flying across the map

[green estuary]

id tech's physics engine has some quirks

and by some, I mean a lot

[magic spoke]

lol

[green estuary]

its why if you jumped into a rail in 2016 or eternal you literally went flying

[magic spoke]

then i guess its not a bug its a quirk then

[spark elm]

Believe I’ve seen how much damage a non-parry baron projectile can do to the slayer on nightmare, think it’s almost a 1 shot

[green estuary]

ideally it wouldn't exist
but not exactly sure how they would go about fixing it

[warm ibex]

judging by his original message, I believe he's referring to the issue where the shield lock on indicator slips onto an enemy way off in the distance right before you press the trigger (despite your intended target still being directly in front of you) and not the issue of demons walking in front of your path after pressing the button. Neither of them are glitches, but I do think the lockon indicator slip is certainly an issue

[green estuary]

I'm not even sure if I'd rather the lock-on prioritize enemies closer to you tbh, which would be the logical solution here
because there are plenty of instances I'm trying to use shield charge to get some distance from enemies right in front of me

[warm ibex]

I think a fix would just be slightly bigger detection boxes

[spark elm]

I’d say the Baron is probably one of the hardest hitting demons on nightmare.

[green estuary]

as they are meant to be

[frail bloom]

Then there's komodoes

[spark elm]

Reckoning can be tough on nightmare.

[warm ibex]

since it seems to be an issue of the demon in front of you just barely slipping out of the range despite still being a viable target visually

[frail bloom]

komodoes

[spark elm]

[frail bloom]

[warm ibex]

different issue, but not unlike the Hell Knights and Komodos having AoE attacks with visuals wider than their parry range

[green estuary]

not sure bigger detection boxes would be a fix
because the issue seems to arise when the relative angle between two demons is very small
so bigger hitboxes would make it more difficult to switch targets when you actually wanted to, as the hitboxes would likely end up overlapping in many scenarios

[warm ibex]

that's a fair point, but on the spot I can't think of a better fix than slightly increasing the hitbox size

[frail bloom]

Yo I wanna fight 60 imps in the ripatorium

Fence projectile hell

[spark elm]

60 nightmare imp stalkers. Bunch of respawns and rounds.

[green estuary]

ricochet heaven

[frail bloom]

Nah gimme the little dudes

[warm ibex]

I swear they did something to the imps with update 3 and then reverted it with the tunable patch that added the six presets

[frail bloom]

Nvm wrong dude

[frail bloom]

What would that be?

[warm ibex]

when testing Arachnohpobia after the update I had zero issues with imp fences, but when playing the official preset yesterday they were everywhere

there was someone else in my comments that pointed this out, so I'm not alone even if I'm wrong lol

[frail bloom]

Idk maybe you can ask Kroniid I don't think he would have a problem with you asking

[gusty seal]

with double jump i just stand on top of him double jump again, and then melee

very effective.

[frail bloom]

Hmm ye the constant shockwaves you cause by jumping and landing prob has smt to do with it

[gusty seal]

ya caught me

[magic spoke]

has anyone ever done an UN max slider

[green estuary]

nope

[frail bloom]

Ngl that sounds like aids

You'd spend half your life planning

[green estuary]

probably never going to happen unless the game gets significantly nerfed or some absolute gamer god grinds it like crazy

[gusty seal]

i saw both. Didnt mind the first one, though ive said it before. doom works better as a game, though i am not against a good movie if they can make one 🫡 annihilation was just that, annihilation of your expectations 😂

[magic spoke]

i wonder if its actually possible. there has to be some arenas that are just too much in demons and too little in resources

[frail bloom]

Ye and that's a constant

[green estuary]

it is possible
if it weren't, max sliders nightmare wouldn't have been completed

[magic spoke]

nightmare has lives

[frail bloom]

I never used extra lives

It's feasible

[green estuary]

yeah people have done it without sigils

[magic spoke]

can i see a recording of ur gameplay

[frail bloom]

I don't know how to export it you just gotta trust me on this one chief

[green estuary]

console 🫵

[harsh egret]

[magic spoke]

but u have posted videos in the video channel before

u have 3 vids

[magic spoke]

it doesnt count cus its on pc not console

[frail bloom]

All of them ain't mine

[harsh egret]

ah

[magic spoke]

i have sincere doubts that you beat nightmare max sliders no lives used on console lol

and somehow you have no recording of it

[harsh egret]

not the first time i hear samir accusations icl

[magic spoke]

well its like why try and refute my point with a lie

[frail bloom]

And that's totally fine

Idc enough to refute you I'm just having fun

[magic spoke]

then why did u try to lol

[frail bloom]

I did?

Do I have dementia or smt

[magic spoke]

.

[frail bloom]

Idk I just said it's possible

[magic spoke]

u said that u did it tho

[frail bloom]

Cuz I did

[magic spoke]

ok can u post some gameplay

[frail bloom]

Alr lemme hook up my ipad real quick

[gusty seal]

https://tenor.com/view/scoobydoo-gif-622972956672831224

[magic spoke]

well whst console r u on

[frail bloom]

A ps5 dude

[magic spoke]

i can gladly guide u on how to capture

[green estuary]

other people have done it as well, though not on console

[frail bloom]

But I can't export anything

[green estuary]

I know thegoldslayer did

[magic spoke]

sure you can. download the ps app and sign in and it will have all ur captures

[frail bloom]

Do you want max slider gameplay? Like what do you want to see

[magic spoke]

max slider on console

[frail bloom]

Alr sure

[gusty seal]

maybe he has a issue with his setup, chill.

[gusty seal]

thats a little much

what arena

[magic spoke]

hes saying hes beaten it without using any lives

on console

[gusty seal]

you mean ultra nightmare or just not dying

[magic spoke]

no im sure hes died he just never used an extra life

[gusty seal]

i dont collect lives either lol

i just rip and tear until it is done

diddnt use any mods to beat the game

cranked up my nightnmare settings from the bat

had to get used to azhrak though and slowly adjust to one 1 parry window for him

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[gusty seal]

mainly did 250% damage 100% demon everything else maxed out mainly. once and while i would moved the parry window between 1-3 while doing it

[gusty seal]

no im serious

[green estuary]

oh well that's not close to max sliders then

[gusty seal]

nah it wasnt you are right

at times my scooby snacks weren't enough

though i did beat the game in less than 4 days

[frail bloom]

Ok here I have some

Took 4 attempts

Wait how am I gonna send it I don't have nitro

[frail bloom]

Well ye it'll take you much longer for sure

I've spent hours on a couple arenas

Namely siege

And resurrection

[magic spoke]

have u tried putting it into videos

[frail bloom]

I did but I need nitro

Cuz the file size is too big

[harsh egret]

theres a size limit but u can upload it to yt maybe idfk

[magic spoke]

its more than 100mb?

[frail bloom]

Well ye it's 3 min long

[magic spoke]

did u record it on ur phone or did i transfer it via the app

[frail bloom]

My trust dusty ipad

Lemme see if I can do anything

[magic spoke]

well im sure you can trim yeah

[frail bloom]

I'm glad on how it came out I soent like an hour on that arena on my run

It only took me like 20 min now

[magic spoke]

nice

i just dont see them is all

[frail bloom]

Alr it's uploading

The presentation is a lil goofy

[magic spoke]

its all good

[frail bloom]

https://youtu.be/54EQlr6CCyk?si=hstreRDTjM_N7kAc

Yup peak resolution right here

Also sub to my youtube channel pls

I'm kidding

[harsh egret]

samir just beat the allegations no way

[magic spoke]

well you didnt show the settings but it does seem like its on max sliders

[frail bloom]

You're right

I'm stupid dammit

[magic spoke]

yeah i concede lol i apologize samir i wasnt familiar with your game

[frail bloom]

It's all good

[obsidian shard]

Which ones

[harsh egret]

idk i dont even remember what it was

smth about that he doesnt actually play on max sliders or he didnt beat the game on nm max sliders idk

That bottom thing the PS5 is on? Does it have a fan?

[frail bloom]

It's goated

Ye

[obsidian shard]

I've always heard they were bad

[frail bloom]

No it just cools your system

Idk where you heard that

It helps with my fps

[harsh egret]

i think what he is saying is that it doesnt actually help or smth

[frail bloom]

It's helped me before idk

[obsidian shard]

I see, well I know the Xbox one's are straight bad, since the normal Xbox cooling is goated

[frail bloom]

It's nothing to worry abt

[magic spoke]

i left a like, you should really consider uploading ur footage its impressive

[frail bloom]

Thank you!

[magic spoke]

to export ur ps videos just download the ps app and sign in it will have every capture

Thats funny but tragically that first image is definitely ai

I really wanna see the return of the demon powers from Doom 3

In Resurrection Of Evil the marine gets this heart which consumes special demons giving him different powers like time slowing and shit. This could make use of hunting special demons for upgrades in the dlc but instead of getting health and shit it gives you slayer runes

[gusty seal]

they def went in a different direction with those games, all the new demons, atmosphere. totally under appreciated at the time.

Yeah, Doom 3 is so unique. The more and more I think about it, the more I find it a unique blend of classic Doom and what they had in store with 2016

[gusty seal]

cosmic old buffalo, very tough

[manic arch]

Doom 3 was the perfect transition tone wise

[gusty seal]

i loved em when they came out, played on my pC if i remember correctly

[manic arch]

I played Doom 3 on the Xbox 360

And I replayed it around a few months ago for the first time in years and fell in love

So much so I binged both expansions deathless

[brittle finch]

Is it weird that I prefer how TAA looks compared to DLAA?

[strong moth]

Feeling inspired to help with my Ripatorium playtesting, I started playing the campaign on 120% speed to work my way up, skill-wise. I gotta say that it feels AWESOME so far

[fleet spruce]

Tastes like horrors beyond human comprehension

[final dune]

i think it would taste like fishy slug or something but really tough

mmmmmm cosmic baron leg meat...

[elder raven]

i dont know what it would taste like but if i had to guess maybe an uncooked steak

just raw meat

no red

that taste

either way disgusting

[hearty edge]

he js looks more like a pain elemental than a caco

the d64 pain elemental is freakin rad tho

[manic arch]

I love the D64 designs

[hearty edge]

d64 revenants and archviles are my favorite

[mystic barn]

Fishy

Oyster-esque

[manic arch]

Maybe it tastes like smoked pepper salmon

[fleet spruce]

there are no such demons in 64 (unless you're playing certain mods for gzdoom)

[hearty edge]

ik i was joking

[fleet spruce]

well damn

[bleak holly]

I have a question and sorry if this has been asked a lot by others. I just got the game today, claimed 4 free skins over the last few months via my Nvidia account, I got the game but I can't log into the bethesda.net to link my account to use the skins. Anyone know how to fix this?

[frail bloom]

Oh yeah they better have some toy models to collect in the dlc

I wanna see the demons in high fidelity

[azure hearth]

I have an interesting question for you guys, in the past games, there have been those songs that are just… better.

BFG Division/Rip and Tear -2016
The Only Thing They Fear is You -Eternal

…so what is Dark Ages’ song?

[frail bloom]

Unchained predator, unholy siege, blood red, what lies below, into the void, theomacy, infernal chasm

Pick and choose idk

They all battle for the top

[azure hearth]

I think Unchained Predator is probably it.

[frail bloom]

Popular doesn't mean best remember that

I don't think unchained predator is the best but it's certainly up there

It's the reveal trailer music, it's iconic

[azure hearth]

Well, I personally prefer all of the Cosmic songs, but I think it’s just Unchained Predator that’s Dark Ages’ song.

[mystic barn]

From the Ashes, Unchained Predator, or Infernal Chasm

I disagree that TOTTFIY is Eternal’s song. Meathook, Cultist Base, Super Gore Nest, and Metal Hell are also in contention (in fact, one of my buddies from university asked me if Cultist Base was Eternal’s main theme. He kept hearing it everywhere and assumed it was emblematic of the entire game)

[frail bloom]

Tottify is what I hear the most and cultist base is second

Tottify has been waaay overused for every "when the doom music hits" video

[fleet spruce]

much like BFG division - extremely overrated

[mystic barn]

Ironically, I find Finishing Move’s Into the Void to be severely underrated despite how similar it is to BFG Division

[frail bloom]

All the songs are underrated

I don't know of any of them broke 10 mil views individually

They deserve more then that

Also Into the void has more variation in its riffs so that's why it's better for me

It uses a central melody but it has different riffage

And I appreciate that

[unkempt dragon]

hello chat

[frail bloom]

Hi

[unkempt dragon]

did I miss anything good today in here?

[frail bloom]

No

Oh I did share my gameplay

That's all I remember

[fleet spruce]

Probably because no popular memes pushing it into the mainstream. Also so called Doom fans when music isn't made by Mick Gordon:

[green estuary]

Guy was doubting the skill lol

[frail bloom]

Ye I prob know why it's just a shame

[mystic barn]

More so that in both songs, the composition informs the mix. In Into the Void, you have the central G# rhythm which then goes up an octave on beat 3 for just a note. This then creates space in the mix for the snare to occupy. BFG Division is similar, with that rolling 12/8 riff, which can be heard as 4 sets or triplets. The first note of the third set of triplets in the bar is subbed out for a snare hit. This space in both songs makes the snare much punchier

[frail bloom]

He doesn't know how jobless I am

[green estuary]

Well you’re also in high school right
So you have an excuse

[frail bloom]

Ye lol

[manic arch]

Aye, unemployment pals

Except its sad that I’m unemployed

[frail bloom]

I think I'm tracking what you're saying

I'm in ap music theory yet I'm horrible at music stuff

Kinda makes me sad

[manic arch]

Hey man, I played tuba for 4 years, music is rough

[frail bloom]

It's a language I wanna learn how to speak

[manic arch]

Meet the devil at a 4 way street and strike a deal you can’t refuse

[fleet spruce]

I escaped the retail just to be pressed into quitting from oilfields. Now I'm back into retail because no other closest to me option is any better 👍

[frail bloom]

Wait I heard of that before

[manic arch]

The 4 way street thing

[frail bloom]

Wait

[manic arch]

Waiting

[frail bloom]

Robert Johnson?

The guy who sucked at playing guitar

[manic arch]

Yep

[frail bloom]

Then he dissapeared for 3 years

And came back and he was crazy skilled

[manic arch]

They said he made a deal with the devil at a 4 way street

[frail bloom]

Nah he just locked in

[manic arch]

Yeah, buts its a way more theatrical idea

[frail bloom]

It does make for a cool legend

[hearty edge]

unholy siege

[frail bloom]

So what goes up an octave, the soprano voice? Like the melody?

[hearty edge]

imo

[frail bloom]

I just wanna try to understand what you're saying maybe it'll educate me more

[hearty edge]

or unchained predator yea

chat which of the forum presets do y'all reccomend me start witth

[frail bloom]

Mancubus mayhem

[hearty edge]

alr

[hearty edge]

how do i put custom music for the waves

[cerulean pagoda]

Hi

[mystic barn]

No, the rhythm. So the main rhythm is that cool syncopated chorus piece (dundun dun ^dun^dun). It’s played on the 2nd fret of the top string tuned to F#. You’re playing a G# note while on that 2nd fret of the top string. It goes up an octave to the 4th fret of the third string tuned to E. The lead guitar (melody) is going G# -> F# -> A -> G over the top of the rhythm guitar

[hearty edge]

ok this is really fun

30fps but already at round 3

round 4

getting kinda scared cuz only 11 minutes left

round 4.5

round 5

aaand i died

damn u 3050 laptop

[brittle finch]

Chat

Would the game run on a 2050?

[manic arch]

Should run

Dunno how well

[brittle finch]

I mean… you can probably get like 60 on a 2060 in 1080P Low

[manic arch]

It says the minimum for the game is a 2060

So you should be fine

[brittle finch]

I wasn’t asking for me

Was just asking out of curiosity

[manic arch]

Oh ok

[brittle finch]

I think you’d probably only get like 30 FPS on 1080P Low

Then again, people usually test on DLAA for some reason instead of TAA

Maybe you could get up to 50ish with TAA

I wouldn’t count on DLSS cus on the 20 series you’d probably only have DLSS 2

[naive wigeon]

i play on a 2050

it will run if u play on a low end config file + handheld graphics

[green estuary]

Wow

[naive wigeon]

the only playable resolutions are 720p below

[brittle finch]

Oh…

[naive wigeon]

the fps is inconsistent and depends on what level u play on

[brittle finch]

Damn

That’s depressing

[naive wigeon]

expect like 40-50+ fps on most levels

[brittle finch]

I’m sorry for your loss 😭

[naive wigeon]

the best running levels that are like 60 above are spire + every cosmic realm level

[green estuary]

I mean it is a 2050 tbf

[naive wigeon]

ripatorium is also smooth as long as you don’t overload the arena with too much demons

[brittle finch]

Cosmic Realm looks so pretty tho

Weird how it runs so good

[green estuary]

Maybe simpler backgrounds

[naive wigeon]

cosmic realm isnt really that big so it makes sense

[manic arch]

The environments for cosmic aren't as hefty

[naive wigeon]

this is with dlss on btw

[green estuary]

Well the size of the maps doesn’t really affect the frame rate

[naive wigeon]

dont expect playable performance on native res

[green estuary]

It’s just whatever is on your screen at the moment

DLSS native 480p let’s gooo

[brittle finch]

It does when you have like 4 GBs of VRAM

[naive wigeon]

yeah

[brittle finch]

Thanks for this new information

[naive wigeon]

theres also some weird instances where the framerate poops itself in random parts

[green estuary]

I’m honestly shocked it runs on a 2050 at all

That was a low end card 6 years ago, forget about now

[brittle finch]

Could be VRAM. The game takes 6 GBs even for 1080P lowest

[naive wigeon]

that part after you open the gates in the first hell level makes the game go from 50-60 to about 30 below

[naive wigeon]

yeah

it is

but its not random instances

its very specific parts of levels

[manic arch]

Makes me wonder when the game'll get optimization mods

[naive wigeon]

it already does

[brittle finch]

Same lol

[manic arch]

Oh, I only own it on PS5 so I never checked the mods

[brittle finch]

Low key 720P DLSS Ultra Performance >

[naive wigeon]

unless someone goes through the trouble of modding the game with baked lighting this is pretty much the most we can beat the game into submission go get it running on low end gpus

[green estuary]

I don’t even know how much better optimization it can get
It’s easily the best-optimized game for RT I’ve seen

[brittle finch]

I saw someone upscale TO 240P the other day 😭

[naive wigeon]

nah ultra performance is ugly and doesnt do enough for fps to justify it

just use dlss quality on 1280x720

[brittle finch]

Depends on resolution

[naive wigeon]

even on higher resolutions on the 2050

[manic arch]

Luckily, as someone with an AMD laptop I get a small boost from Adrenaline software

[brittle finch]

4K ultra perf looks pretty solid and runs well even on low end (albeit current gen) cards

[naive wigeon]

as long as u try to run the game on 1080p on that thing it wont be playable no matter how much upscaling you use (specifically on the 2050)

[manic arch]

But my craptop hardly runs Doom 3

[brittle finch]

I mean… Doom The Dark Ages with classic DOOM visuals? Sign me up!

[naive wigeon]

fair hame

game *

[manic arch]

Just play Doom 2 with Darkfall at that point 😭

[obsidian shard]

So when the next DOOM game releases

The TDA maps are HUGE

[naive wigeon]

might as well download kaibz mod too so u can use the classic viewmodel mod

[naive wigeon]

no, when we start building hell portals on mars irl

[hearty edge]

it runs at like 40fps on my 3050 laptop so take it as u want

40-60 generally

[obsidian shard]

It'll be a whole that's for sure

[naive wigeon]

try putting ur graphics on handheld instead of low it’ll boost ur framerate by a lot

[hearty edge]

i'mma try that next

[brittle finch]

Not as terrible as it could be

[obsidian shard]

That's pretty good all things considered

[manic arch]

I mean 35-40 is very playble

[brittle finch]

Handheld oddly enough uses more VRAM (only by like 50 MBs tho)

[obsidian shard]

If it's lower then 30 then I ain't playing

[hearty edge]

although weirdly when i tried the low vs handheld preset it showed like 500mb more vram in the handheld

[obsidian shard]

GTA VI BETTER be 30 FPS 24/7

[manic arch]

GTA 6 is not gonna be consistent

[brittle finch]

I personally throw on like PT and a little upscaling sometimes and play at 30 flat. I don’t get the 30 FPS hate

[hearty edge]

sadly when I was trying mancubus mayhem it dropped to like 25 so I died

[brittle finch]

Yep

lol

[obsidian shard]

30 FPS is fine, but when it's lower it's straight Pain

[hearty edge]

yep

[naive wigeon]

the handheld preset runs better believe me

[manic arch]

I mean after playing so much 240 fps I kinda get it but 30 is still playable for me

[brittle finch]

The Mancubus will always be my favorite looking model in most of the games

[hearty edge]

the game runs like in slo mo nd shi

[obsidian shard]

Last 2 rounds have A LOT going on, on the screen

[manic arch]

I love Dooom 3 Mancubus

[brittle finch]

Fr

[obsidian shard]

Yup, There's something simple but unique about it that I enjoy

[hearty edge]

i somehow survived the first 4 rounds on base nightmare but died like at the literal start of the 5th one

really cool would reccomend

[brittle finch]

I love DOOM 3 for its (at the time) revolutionary graphics

It was definitely a major component in graphical development

[manic arch]

Doom 3 is very very good

[naive wigeon]

given that you keep nvidia low latency turned on

it mitigates the input issues that come with lower framerates

[obsidian shard]

Yup, 5th round is more of a Challenge and Final Draw kinda round!

[manic arch]

Doom 3 is a sleeper pick

[obsidian shard]

That was my idea behind it

[hearty edge]

idk why i can't get on the boat for its design

[brittle finch]

I always keep that and V-Sync on until recently cus for some reason V-Sync started causing weird frame drops sometimes for me

[obsidian shard]

I got the "Limited Collectors Edition of it"

[hearty edge]

it does feel like it

the acolyte really messed me up

and the amount of parrying projectiles coming at me at the same time

[manic arch]

Doom 3's Mancubus would go hard in the TDA cosmic realm

[naive wigeon]

vsync is so bunz i keep that off in every game

[hearty edge]

true

[naive wigeon]

shi js adds extra input lag

[brittle finch]

Idm it cus I use controller

[manic arch]

I can imagine TDA's dlc taking from Doom 3 and 64 since they are most like TDA

[naive wigeon]

parry projectiles + hitscan attacks lowkey the worst combo

[hearty edge]

also damn true

[obsidian shard]

It was supposed to be either 2 Acolytes or 2 cacos but I decided 1 of each would be best as Extremely challenging but still doable

[naive wigeon]

fair game

[hearty edge]

yep

u either die or ur shield breaks and u die

[brittle finch]

True

[manic arch]

I would love to see the return of the Mother Demon as an easter egg like the Icon in 2016 and for Maledict to return as a boss

[hearty edge]

also idk how but i just kinda brute forced trough the first 4 rounds with the ssg and refused to change to any other weapon

[brittle finch]

I hate the metal shield mfs because sometimes it’s just aids to get rid of their shield

[manic arch]

Yeah, its a pain to shoot them and then throw your shield to MAYBE blow em up

[brittle finch]

I died a few times honestly just because I couldn’t parry cus my shield was in another continent

[manic arch]

I feel that hard

[obsidian shard]

It do be like that tho, then theres the chaingunners

[brittle finch]

Chaingunners in TDA?

[hearty edge]

ye

[brittle finch]

Am I tripping?

[manic arch]

The spider guys right?

[hearty edge]

they're like a buffed version of the metal soldiers

[obsidian shard]

There are indeed chaingunners

[manic arch]

Oh those

[hearty edge]

arachnotrons and no

[naive wigeon]

mfw a chaingunner is frying me but my shield bash is on cooldown so i lowkey tweak out

[manic arch]

I really gotta replayed TDA, I platted it and quit

[hearty edge]

they're the guys that do burts of hitscan damage

[idle swallow]

do you guys think TDA will have a big discount during sales around a year after its release?

[brittle finch]

Probably

[hazy pasture]

Fair enough

[naive wigeon]

shield bash + ssg + shield throw is the quickest way to fry them earlier on

[obsidian shard]

Ripatorium is peak

[obsidian shard]

Already 50% off

[brittle finch]

Whoaaa

[naive wigeon]

if u cant do that u lowkey js gotta hit them with two combat shotty bursts while eating their bullets

[brittle finch]

Tbh I bought it for $70

[obsidian shard]

250

[hearty edge]

if the constant 80% discounts on doom eternal (one of which i believe was a short time after it came out) are something to look at then more than likely

[idle swallow]

can't get it now, sadly

[manic arch]

I played a little to get the perfection skin but thats it

[brittle finch]

There was a 90% sale for the fall sale lol

[manic arch]

Ill probs get back into it late December

[hazy pasture]

The humble collector's edition buyer:

[obsidian shard]

Ripatorium 2.0 just released recently and it's wayyyy better

[obsidian shard]

Did you end up buying it?

[manic arch]

So i've heard. Im excited to play it

[hearty edge]

i bought it for $50 cuz that's the retail price in my country (which I regret badly cuz it was js a week before quakecon but I didn't know that)

[brittle finch]

Fair lol

I don’t keep up with quake stuff

[hazy pasture]

I got it for Xbox and it's at my friend's place since I usually don't have time to play it often

[obsidian shard]

Ahh I see I see

[hearty edge]

like dude if I waited a week I could've bought both tda and eternal for that price

[hazy pasture]

Imma buy the deluxe edition soon after I build myself a new pc

[idle swallow]

mainly due to 3 reasons:

1. I currently don't have a job but looking towards getting one. Since I don't have a job, I have to ask my dad about his credit card and money
2. Games tend to be expensive in my country (turkiye)
3. I only just recently bought a game for $24 lmao

[obsidian shard]

Quakecon has not much to do with Quake, it's more of a DOOM and Bethesda Con

[hearty edge]

although now i have all of the doom games so no biggie

[brittle finch]

Ngl the Steam Machine sounds like a great console specifically because you never have to upgrade unless they specifically end support for the console

[manic arch]

Alright, Im headed out for the night. Night guys and gals

[hazy pasture]

Fair enough mate

[hearty edge]

and tasty discounts on bethesda games

[obsidian shard]

Night, sleep well!

[hearty edge]

gnight

[hazy pasture]

Gn brochacho

[brittle finch]

Goodnight :3

[brittle finch]

Cus it has access to Steam, so you can play games on it until 8 GBs of VRAM isn’t enough for like 1080P

[idle swallow]

said game I bought for $24 was the first Insomaniac Spider-Man. it was one of the games I wanted to get the most

[brittle finch]

Or 720P ig 💀

[obsidian shard]

TF2 at 4K

[brittle finch]

🔥

[obsidian shard]

VALVe games my beloved

[brittle finch]

I’m ngl I wish I had a 4K monitor specifically for benchmarking and also cus upscaled 4K looks and runs really well

[idle swallow]

Half-Life 1 and 2 🔥

[brittle finch]

On g console was onto something 🙏

[obsidian shard]

L4D, L4D2

Portal 1+2

[hearty edge]

honestly if the $600-$700 rumors are true I'm gonna highly consider buying it cuz i feel like u can't get a good pc with the same specs for that price (at least in my country)

[brittle finch]

LAD frfr 🔥

[obsidian shard]

The Orange Box 2 is gonna be so peak

[hazy pasture]

Hell Yeah

[brittle finch]

Rn a current or even last gen budget desktop is like $900-$1,000 just for the desktop itself

[hazy pasture]

I got it a year ago

[brittle finch]

😭

[obsidian shard]

Now in CAD, that's a lot more money

Mmmm 500$ RAM

[hazy pasture]

True

[brittle finch]

Indeed

[brittle finch]

32X2 RAM kits are going for up to 1,200 USD right now 😭

[obsidian shard]

Welp someone needs to fix something

[brittle finch]

Hopefully soon

[obsidian shard]

Supply and demand do be like that

[hearty edge]

yea

[idle swallow]

I'm focused on getting a 1440p monitor. was using 1080p for so long and it just feels dated at this point imo

[brittle finch]

I ain’t paying $2,500 for a budget build by the time I get around to building one in 2028

[hazy pasture]

Hmm true

[obsidian shard]

Got a 4k 55" TV today!

TDA has never looked so pretty

[brittle finch]

I play in 1440P even tho my GPU really isn’t made for 1440P lol

I can still get 1440P 60 in TDA usually

[hazy pasture]

Hooly googly moogly

[hearty edge]

i'm so glad ramaggedon hasn't hit (at least that badly) my country yet cuz u can still get a 2x16 6000mhz cl30 kit for ~170usd

[idle swallow]

my gpu is a rx 6700 xt

[hearty edge]

which taking into account shipping fees+tax it's a good price

[brittle finch]

Peak

[brittle finch]

Ur cooked

So am I tho

[obsidian shard]

Ye, got it since my Great Grandmother passed away

[brittle finch]

I have a 5050

[brittle finch]

Aww

[hearty edge]

ow hell nah

ur monitor is begging for an upgrade

[brittle finch]

It’s a good card for laptops

[hazy pasture]

Rest in power grandma

[brittle finch]

FROM 1440P?!

[hearty edge]

definitely better than mine

[brittle finch]

😭

[hearty edge]

for a gpu upgrade

[brittle finch]

Ohhh

Fair

I Overclocked my laptop 5050 until it was faster than a laptop 5060 and in specifically TDA even faster than a 5060 desktop

[hearty edge]

dam

[hazy pasture]

Impressive

[obsidian shard]

How do you overclock it? Feed it more Power?

[brittle finch]

It only works so well because the 5050 mobile only uses 50 watts at most

[hearty edge]

i wonder if i can do smth similar

[brittle finch]

Technically yes, overclocking is the process of increasing the clock speed, hence the name. Faster clock speeds require more power, so technically, yes.

[obsidian shard]

Wtf is a clock speed????

[brittle finch]

The internal speed of literally EVERY PC component/electronic component

CPU, GPU, RAM

[hearty edge]

i remember seeing a metapcs video talking about the etymology but i forgor

[obsidian shard]

I see tyty

[brittle finch]

I HATE that channel after seeing those atrocious deals on their website 😭

[idle swallow]

I feel like my PC can handle playing games released all the way up to 2023-early 2024 at 1440p with maxed out graphics settings well
here's the specs:
gpu: rx 6700 xt
cpu: r7 5700x3d
32 gb ram
4 tb samsung 990 pro ssd
some other parts that aren't all that important

[brittle finch]

Btw if you wanna try overclocking, use MSI Afterburner and overclock extremely incrementally

[hearty edge]

yea i saw some today and tf u mean $1600 for a 9060xt build

my goat ztt could never

[brittle finch]

I’d also highly suggest using a benchmarking application that shows the heat of your components

I personally use Nvidia Frameview

[hearty edge]

alr

[brittle finch]

Frrr

The major bottleneck is gonna be your low VRAM tho

[hearty edge]

yea

[brittle finch]

The 3050 mobile right?

[hearty edge]

4gb isnt so fresh

[brittle finch]

4 GBs is tough rn for sure

[brittle finch]

They dropped a 40 series card with 6 back in 2024 btw

[hearty edge]

ya

[brittle finch]

Nvidia…

4050 goes hard frfr

It just MIGHT be able to run Crysis

[hearty edge]

oh i js remembered

the fact that ur 5050 laptop can run better than a 5060 laptop r a 5050 desktop constantly when ocd might do with the fact that for some reason they used gddr7 ram for the laptop but not the desktop

[brittle finch]

GDDR7 is power efficient

And oddly enough the 5060 laptop variant has a max TDP of 115… compared to the 5050’s 50 watt TDP

[hearty edge]

daum

[brittle finch]

For only a 12.5% boost in 1080P and 15% boost in 1440P

Gotta love Nvidia’s new design philosophy

[crisp zinc]

it’s about the money

my xbox series x runs it well

i’m glad it right bought it before microsoft increased the xbox price THREE fucking times in the span of like 4 months

i saved big time

[brittle finch]

Upscaling mostly (granted, console upscaling looks so good that it looks almost as good as native)

[crisp zinc]

yeah

[brittle finch]

But still really impressive what consoles can do nowadays

Consoles have always been magic

Ngl

[crisp zinc]

yeah

well the xbox series X is good, but it’s 5 years old, no new exclusives, and the price has been going up and up and up

[brittle finch]

The original Xbox was literally a PC sold for a fraction of the price and they made their money back off games and Xbox Live

Like, no joke

[crisp zinc]

yeah, the old xbox was really good for its time

but then, while it was good, PC technology became more advanced, and xbox wasn’t advancing as much

[brittle finch]

It was a Windows desktop modded to display an Xbox startup screen instead of a Windows one from what I remember

[crisp zinc]

Yeah that

they did a lot of stuff with the old xboxs

[brittle finch]

Mainly cus it’d cost them a tooon to keep doing that

[crisp zinc]

fair

[brittle finch]

Like even with the 360 not being state of the art… they were losing like $200 per console

[crisp zinc]

well the new xbox will be 1200 dollars

[brittle finch]

Better than the like $300 they were losing on the OG

[crisp zinc]

yeah a lot better

[brittle finch]

Imagine it has the equivalent of a low tier GPU 💀

[crisp zinc]

the new xbox will have none of the power of customization of a PC, but similar price

[crisp zinc]

it will be around there

[brittle finch]

“$500 of hardware, $700 of AI bs”

😭🙏

[crisp zinc]

dude the AI shit is so ducking bizarre

[brittle finch]

I think it needs at least 5060 TI levels of performance and 16 GBs of VRAM

Preferably at least

[crisp zinc]

i hate to jam cusses into sentences but holy shit bro

there’s so much AI in everything nowadays

[hearty edge]

$360 usd game pass

[brittle finch]

Cus for that price you can easily throw together a 5060 TI 16 gig build

[brittle finch]

Sadly

[crisp zinc]

nah fr new xbox gamepass 30 dollars, 360 a year, no one doing it

[brittle finch]

Soon to be $700 6 year old console…

[crisp zinc]

AI is being used heavily in the production of the new halo

[hearty edge]

probably gonna be it cuz windows and steam tax

[hearty edge]

xbox really is something huh

[crisp zinc]

they are blaming the RAM prices for the cost increase

[brittle finch]

The PS5 Pro is $650 and the Xbox Series X, which has half the storage and is way less powerful, sells for the same currently.

[crisp zinc]

microsoft is like a 4 trillion dollar company, who also invested into AI, and is now blaming it for a price increase

[hearty edge]

love how microsoft is investing on AI which consumes ram which makes ram prices go up so they increase the prices on their consoles to get more money to invest on AI

[brittle finch]

$80 billion into AI and somehow we have to bare the consequences

[crisp zinc]

THIS

yes they invested all of their money into the AI

which also eats up RAM really fast

a single stick of RAM is like 900 or a grand

it’s insanity

[brittle finch]

Is it that bad in ur country?

[crisp zinc]

yes

[brittle finch]

Here in the US it’s $1,200 for a 32X2 kit

[crisp zinc]

USA

god.. have mercy

shit is getting so expensive

[brittle finch]

16X2 kits can probably still be found for like $300-$400 tho thankfully

And that’s all you need for gaming

[crisp zinc]

gotta look the right places

[hearty edge]

ty living on a 3rd world country 🙏🙏 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1214800788187123753/1443491340783583263/image.png?ex=69294392&is=6927f212&hm=9703cd615d30a80193a3007897e6f9129cd541b4a1423eff88ba877ff9314dbf&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1860&height=746 (around 170 usd)

[brittle finch]

These AI learning rigs need no joke like THE top of the line parts

[crisp zinc]

170 USD for that? i looked on the market the other day and it was 900 for a single stick..

[hearty edge]

although it balances out cuz smth like a 9060xt 16gb is like $100 above msrp

[brittle finch]

Which is why the BIG RAM kits and GPUs with tonsss of VRAM are getting scalped and having price increases

[hearty edge]

yea idk it's good rn

[brittle finch]

Not terrible

[hearty edge]

prolly gonna hit like a truck in a few months and availability is kinda bad but eh

[crisp zinc]

AI has a lot of use, and i mean a lot of good use in the engineering and science fields right now

but they aren’t FUCKING USING IT FOR THAT

[brittle finch]

Lowest I saw for 16X2 of a brand that I don’t even trust is $240

[crisp zinc]

they are using it for music, gaming, jobs, moderation, everything except for what it would be good for

[brittle finch]

$200 for a high quality 8X2 kit rn tho

[brittle finch]

It was good for helping me cheat back in high school lmao

[crisp zinc]

you must’ve just been in high school then, right

cuz it’s only been around for a few years i think

[brittle finch]

Mhm

[hearty edge]

and i still dont know how an xpg rog 2x8 6600mhz cl32 kit is at like $70 and still in stock

[brittle finch]

I graduated this year

[crisp zinc]

nice!

[brittle finch]

WHOA

ROG?

[crisp zinc]

i’m a freshman and literally everybody using ts to cheat lol

[hearty edge]

yea it's wild

[crisp zinc]

holy shit ROG?

bruh

[brittle finch]

$70?

Top of the line 16 gig kit for $70

I wanna come stay with you bro 😭💔

[hearty edge]

sadly it IS 16gb so buying 2 for 32gb won't work well for am5

[brittle finch]

Bro is living in 2024 practically

[hearty edge]

mythical third world country w

[brittle finch]

Fair, but dual channel 32 gigs will still run better than single channel 16 gigs

Most of the time at least

[hearty edge]

cool

[brittle finch]

AT BEST BUY BTW it’s $900 for a 32X2 kit rn

We’re cooked

[hearty edge]

worst buy fr

[brittle finch]

Tbf Best Buy doesn’t usually have the best prices, but in this case it isn’t their fault

[crisp zinc]

the demand is so high

[brittle finch]

Not for consumers either even

[crisp zinc]

for everyone

[brittle finch]

We live in a world where a high end PC is now $5,000-$6,000 just to not even be able to play the latest games in 4K at 60 FPS without upscaling

[crisp zinc]

yeah shit is messed up right now

and a lot of people just scream “CAPITALISM” like that’s bad

[wraith lynx]

Oh thank god i bought my pc in summer

[brittle finch]

Unreal Engine 5 + RAM prices + scalpers + overpriced hardware

[wraith lynx]

At least the ram prices were normal then

[crisp zinc]

i miss those times

[brittle finch]

Thank god I bought a laptop honestly

[wraith lynx]

Laptops are not bad

But not as good in mid high end gaming

[brittle finch]

With RAM prices and my mom wanting me to go with all new parts it’d cost me like my entire budget for a 4060 or 5050 build 😭

[crisp zinc]

my computer can do that and it’s not 5k. lucky i guess

[brittle finch]

Just for the rig alone

No peripherals

[wraith lynx]

Thats whi i choose a radeon card

[crisp zinc]

damn bro

[wraith lynx]

Theyre really giod for the price

[wraith lynx]

I got a 7600xt for 300

[brittle finch]

Depends on the game

[crisp zinc]

damn

[wraith lynx]

In my country

[brittle finch]

Borderlands 4 would cook your GPU and devour it whole

[crisp zinc]

it can do doom and oblivion remastered well

[brittle finch]

😭

[brittle finch]

Good enough

[wraith lynx]

I tried playing it. 60fps

[crisp zinc]

borderlands 4 is a death trap

[crisp zinc]

4k tho?

[brittle finch]

I meant at 4K

[wraith lynx]

Ohh. I didint go for a 4k build

My aim was 1440p

[crisp zinc]

yeah, borderlands 4 is brutal

[brittle finch]

4K max settings gets like 40 FPS rn on a 5090 💔

[crisp zinc]

why is COD 200 gigabytes

[brittle finch]

Mine was being able to play games that I couldn’t play because I didn’t have a PC

But I’m happy I can do 1440P 60 on TDA most of the time

• lower end cards benefit more from overclocking and I have fun with overclocking because I’m a nerd :3

• the 5050 I got uses less power and performs about 10% better without overclocking than my PS5 if you don’t include upscaling bs

1080P or slightly upscaled 1440P are all I need anyways

[hearty edge]

alr dudes gonna go to sleep

[brittle finch]

Okie

Goodnight :3

[hearty edge]

thx

[crisp zinc]

goodnight bro

[hearty edge]

also isnt it like 2am on the us

[crisp zinc]

yeah 2:04 for me

i should get to sleep

[hearty edge]

yes

it's 1 am here

[crisp zinc]

oh damn

you must live in western us then, i think

[brittle finch]

East

[crisp zinc]

i’m in eastern, flordia

not 1 am tho

[brittle finch]

Ye

Cus Florida is EST

CST is 1 AM rn

But CST in all honesty leans slightly more towards the east coast than the center lol

[crisp zinc]

Yeah

I should get sleep, i do wanna grow

plus i got practice tomorrow

[brittle finch]

I’m fine with not growing

Women are meant to be short anyways frrr

[crisp zinc]

i do wanna

be taller then i already am

cuz height is something that helps me feel confident, and i’m a pretty socially akward person

so i embrace it

[obsidian shard]

Peam

[crisp zinc]

peam

[crisp zinc]

peam

[brittle finch]

Something else makes me feel confident…

Kinda like height

[brittle finch]

So peam :3

[crisp zinc]

that’s me fr

although i don’t like to brag about it

[crisp zinc]

your shortness makes you confident or your tallness makes you confident

[hazy pasture]

Peamers

[brittle finch]

Nono

Similar to height tho

[crisp zinc]

wdym

[grizzled thicket]

Uuuuuuh

Atleast you’re confident

[crisp zinc]

it’s easier to be confident when you have height

[grizzled thicket]

Nah

I am like 5’7 yet I confident

But now my chest hurt

[crisp zinc]

oh shit, why does it hurt

[grizzled thicket]

Gym

I went too deep with dips

[crisp zinc]

damn

W for going to the gym tho

[grizzled thicket]

Fucked up my chest

[crisp zinc]

i had my arms sore for a few days cuz i worked em out too hard

good night

gotta get more sleep so i can grow, and be healthy

[surreal mango]

[crisp zinc]

nice bro

[brittle finch]

Hope you enjoy it :3

[idle swallow]

both Doom 2016 and especially Eternal are some of my favourite fps games, let's see how my opinion on TDA will turn out

[hazy pasture]

Hell Yeah mate

[flat elm]

My sincere condolences, I can understand this loss perfectly. My great-grandmother also died a couple of months ago.

[hollow vessel]

Nah... im so jealous

[solar spoke]

History buff here, every time I see that I think of the Peam Inquiry in the USSR lol

[strong moth]

I think 130% game speed might be me cap lol

[obsidian shard]

Thank you, and my condolences back to you dude 🫂

[frail bloom]

You know what timestamp in the song where I clearly hear the rhythm? I know I'm being dense I just wanna try and understand this stuff

Dude this irritates me. This isn't a thing. Nowhere is it ever said the sarcophagus thing is right after the Betrayal. They never say this. They literally never say it. Why does this guy say it like it's fact.

Like I'm sorry but if you inform your view of the story based on headcanon and twisting blatant facts then I don't see why we should even have a discussion about it. Your opinion is innately resting on a warped framework to begin with.
