[scarlet marlin]

noooooooooooooo

[buoyant osprey]

I was right next to the crown with the stupid Emperor octopus fuck too. He was 1 turn away from opening it

I'm killing him my next run. He sucks

And I'll just have Gale nuke himself to skip the fight

[vapid lintel]

My last honor mode run died trying to get the third netherstone from Orin >_>

[scarlet marlin]

you guys are brave enough to try it

[vapid lintel]

I really like the extra boss mechanics

[scarlet marlin]

not the same, but I was doing a MP campaign and right before the finale, we saved it and decided to continue tomorrow (it was super late for me). The next day for some reason I couldnt join our campaign. About to lose it to not being able to finish the run together we've spent so many hours on. It was a known bug at the time.
Luckily we found a way around it were I loaded into a random save file my co-op partner had, and from there, we loaded in together in our campaign

[orchid prism]

I just don't have the patience and willpower to do Ironman.

[buoyant osprey]

Rip. So close to the end too

I think I failed because I didn't stack up on invisibility potions and such

[buoyant osprey]

I love that BG3 has its own wiki instead of just fandom of fextralife bs

[orchid prism]

A sign of a dedicated fanbase.

[buoyant osprey]

I'm sad Elden Ring doesn't

Well it does it's just very underdeveloped

[orchid prism]

Wikis rarely write themselves. It's usually a dedicated handful of players who painstakingly wrangle with the game information and documentation by fans.

And then there's keeping them up to date after patches - A whole other beast.

[buoyant osprey]

Dark Souls 1 has wikidot which I like but no one can edit it anymore

https://eldenring.wiki.gg/

Okay this one seems decent but idk how finished it is

[outer pollen]

I think Bungie fucked up the Audio on Marathon

Fastest pre-order?

[small comet]

is this just another gooner game?

[hasty belfry]

Maybe? No idea. Probably.

[small comet]

also why not buy it on steam for a whopping 8eur

[orchid prism]

Yeah. It's one of those Mandarin pick a choice games with full FMV

damn

[hasty belfry]

I don't buy digital games 😛

[nimble current]

definitely has the m'lady stamp of approval

[orchid prism]

They fall pretty hard into the fan service range without going adult. It's a weird genre. They blew up a couple of years ago.

[small comet]

ah so you wanna spend more than quadruple the cost for whats still just a 6usd game

[hasty belfry]

Yupp

[orchid prism]

Alright. Steam 100% passes on data to YT. I am suddenly getting Shorts and YT suggestions for the game.

[small comet]

or discord does

[hasty belfry]

Had good reviews even, or maybe just good after gooning we'll see.

[small comet]

since youve been here

[orchid prism]

Hah yeah maybe.

[small comet]

no goon content just "sexy"

no nudity or anything

[hasty belfry]

Boo

[small comet]

its just an FMV dating sim basically

[scarlet marlin]

theres a lot of those nowadays

nothing special

parasocial gaming

[orchid prism]

They dubbed the American girl into Mandarin. Oh god. It's jarring 😄

[small comet]

i mean the normal dating sims with models/sprites you could atleast mod to NSFW

[orchid prism]

Grok AI opens the door

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but you cant stalk models/sprites on their social media

[small comet]

yeah i meant more its prob worth it to get a normal dating sim rather than an FMV one if the goal is gooning

[scarlet marlin]

if you wanna goon there's deff other ways with quicker success than playing a game

but hey to each their own

[small comet]

the appeal is the game is a choose your own adventure

[scarlet marlin]

"choose"

[small comet]

i will just say cm3d2

its very much choose

[vapid lintel]

Why did I google that -_-

[hasty belfry]

You know too much

[small comet]

i mean

[orchid prism]

[small comet]

i have a past as a gooner im sorry

[vapid lintel]

"past"

[hasty belfry]

Last week

[small comet]

i mean is it gooning if its my gf

[hasty belfry]

Is she digital?

AI doesnt count

[small comet]

let me walk over to her room and ask her give me a sec

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/grok-is-this-true-windmill-water-wheel-gif-5302497903247327835

[small comet]

she said shes real

idk if i can trust her

[verbal nymph]

AI goon. Some people spends $100 a week doing that

[small comet]

jesus

[hasty belfry]

Cheaper than a real gf

[orchid prism]

I already posted a version of this once today - But Xbox parrot. It even recognizes the Halo music. I guess its previous owner was an avid Halo player 😄
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0wCiS3-fRec

[verbal nymph]

if you do a lot more than just text LLM, it could get higher especially at high context and State of the Art AI

[orchid prism]

Yeah... I constantly get hit by those AI Girlfriend ads. And they are basically just ChatGPT with no limits, and image/video generation at a premium.

[nimble current]

discord def does it, had way too many coincidences with yt suggestions relating to a discord convo

[hasty belfry]

It's too modern for me, I just feel weird talking to a computer.

[verbal nymph]

normie ai gf, real men uses self hosted frontend for maximum control and 3-5 different AI company

[ivory dune]

Today she's a bit Monica

[hasty belfry]

At that point

[nimble current]

glad am not the only one

[hasty belfry]

Less effort to just get a real girlfriend

[ivory dune]

Alexa, boot Monica

[vapid lintel]

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

[orchid prism]

And probably cheaper. I've seen the prices those sites charge for "tokens"
Definitely some scumbag exploitation going on there.

[ivory dune]

I mean they're obviously targeting the loneliest of incels, it's a scummy thing for sure

[orchid prism]

It's just another form of monetized garbage. Gambling, Gacha etc..

[ivory dune]

It's exploitation of basic needs and/or problems, it's sad

I fully agree with you

I'm glad I live in Belgium where anti gacha laws exist

[nimble current]

exploiting peoples desperation and poor impulse control first paragraph in the based salesmaxxing online course

[ivory dune]

Sure it's annoying when trying to play certain games but it actually protects people a fair bit

[hasty belfry]

I dunno where in my life I'd have to be where spending money on an AI girlfriend would seem like a good option.

[ivory dune]

You'd be surprised, I guess, as with all things in life

I never thought I'd be eating three éclairs on a friday but how I have fallen now

Damn bakery targeting my poor impulse control

[lone cosmos]

when there are no women left in existence

[hasty belfry]

I just had pizza, I got 4 packages to pick up at the store but I'm lazy and also cancelled my Crimson Desert Deluxe Edition pre-order because game is not on disc.

[hasty belfry]

It's fine, don't need to be a woman.

[nimble current]

seen a couple coverages on the topic, a lot of them seem a lot more self aware about the realities of it than one might expect, some just doesn't seem to care and just want something talking back to their every whim

[vapid lintel]

This sounds delicious and I'm jealous

[lone cosmos]

i like your thinking

[vapid lintel]

Where maple and bacon?

[ivory dune]

I will not have meat in my french viennoiserie

[vapid lintel]

[lone cosmos]

mango sounds nice

[compact oriole]

Same ppl that pay OF girls to chat "with them". Super lonely men

[verbal nymph]

mmm, 6 more days

[hasty belfry]

💩

They not getting my money anymore.

[outer pollen]

sandbag teammates

[verbal nymph]

I am ready to be disappointed

[bleak pike]

This was me on my first run

Lol

Revived someone like 5 times

[compact oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsQVKHJ4l0c

[stiff fiber]

The game is so difficult 😵‍💫

Just got killed at exfilt

[cold anvil]

kittensdotcalm try not to get mad at teammates challenge

[outer pollen]

It sucks but assassin is kinda strong imo

[outer pollen]

You liking it?

[bleak pike]

Boring

[stiff fiber]

I find it op for solo

[bleak pike]

Ai is decent though

[outer pollen]

It’s what I bring to play with randoms, I’ve clutched so many 1v3s

[outer pollen]

That’s how I felt the first 3 hours I played then a few days later I had the urge to play it so bad

[cold anvil]

I’ve been dabbling more into extraction shooters, mostly just arena breakout infinite and arc raiders. My interest for marathon is very minor and that I’m most likely just gonna wait to see how it plays out in the future

The hero aspect really throws me off, it looks like it wouldve been fine without it from an outsider perspective looking in

Unless they built the game entirely around that

In the playtest it kind just felt like you just had them to have them

Idk cant really hate on a game that I have an hour or 2 max of play time

[stiff fiber]

Love arc raiders, marathon less. But still I cannot stop playing it since it came out

I think with some balancing this game will be very good

[buoyant osprey]

I don't think this is the message Nintendo want to be sending to kids but sure.

[mellow garden]

All M0s done, 238 ilvl going into season one

Roll on the first raids of the new WoW expansion next week

[cold anvil]

Spent like 3-4 hours making this, most definitely gonna drop the project tomorrow and not finish it

It was a fun learning experience ngl

[verbal nymph]

bringing minecraft to my liking, 1 step at a time.

Rethinking Voxels is nice, but I prop still waiting for hardware raytracing since this shit slow

[quartz wing]

yeah i know

wait 44 fps?

i have like a rtx 2070 and i get like 120fps

[verbal nymph]

32 chunk, ultra with setting that makes it very slow

[quartz wing]

ohh i see

[verbal nymph]

so now I'm just gonna adjust it until it's to my liking

Photonics is nice, but not fast/realtime enough

[bleak pike]

CPU says hello?

Kinda matters a lot for Minecraft perf lol even with shaders etc

[outer pollen]

Can’t wait for my days off

To play Marathon

[bleak pike]

Play modded MC instead

[outer pollen]

I’m trying to have fun not get put to sleep by the over world music

[orchid prism]

Play Vintage Story instead.

[fallow bronze]

In vintage story you should not get burned out by tediousness

[small comet]

was that sarcasm?

[mellow garden]

Wooting server for Hytale when?

[orchid prism]

There is some tedium, sure. But unless you're pushing yourself to built something grand, I don't think it's too bad.

And there's a lot of QoL mods that help with things like that. Like the Quarry mod that lets you cut out large amounts of stone much, much easier than in Vanilla (should honestly be implemented in Vanilla cause it's so fitting and true to history)

Or the auto clay molder, for those who for some reason keep making a ton of clayware 😄

[fallow bronze]

ore prospecting

[small comet]

first an mc discord would plop up

but last time we did community mc it died after a week unless just mansen playing on it counts as alive

[fallow bronze]

It was a bit longer that that

But ppl were crashing the server with loads of loose items

[hardy merlin]

He had a sorta MC server a year ago
In the end only me, Lana and Sarah were playing on it

[orchid prism]

Yeah you know what - That's fair. Prospecting is the one part that still hurts, even when you know what you're doing.

I know more about types of soil and where ore spawn within them to prospect pretty quickly - But that was not a fun journey 😄

[orchid prism]

Everyone just kind of burned through the modpack, like they had to get there asap. And I was just building a floating city in the End by myself, in my lane, thriving 😄

That's also how I play Vintage Story. I still haven't done any of the lore.

[mellow garden]

I have to say, I don’t particularly enjoy the newer deep dark stuff etc in Minecraft.

It all feels over designed IMHO

[orchid prism]

I mentally checked out when they introduced the deep dark stuff as well.

Just felt like someone wanted to add more spooky to MC, and I just wasn't into it. The Warden is... yeah...no. 😄

[small comet]

meanwhile: still no end update

[hardy merlin]

The deepslate stuff was when I stopped caring

[orchid prism]

But I am also not the target group anymore. Most of my MC playtime goes all the way back to before MP was stable. 😄

[hardy merlin]

Member when they added bees? Good times

[tough jay]

Same here, also most my play time was me watching tv shows while digging holes and such.

[bleak pike]

I still haven't interacted with them

Also the deep dark stuff I found cool

Personally

Even with modded stuff me and my friend had a blast laughing our asses off running away

And some light trolling

[outer pollen]

wtf is going on in the Helldivers community?

https://www.reddit.com/r/HelldiversUnfiltered/comments/1rt75se/its_time_for_treason_stop_playing_and_paying/

Ohhh arrowhead outsourced everything apparently?

[bleak pike]

Wow @feral ferry denuvo be getting fucked

Doom Dark ages was cracked

2025 denuvo

[outer pollen]

When we doing some Marathoning?

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/door-gif-17457390403834117909

If you actually wanna play maybe later? Whats you'd timezone

[verbal nymph]

waow, nice nice. Seems like the hopium for Crimson Dessert being cracked is high (still gonna support the dev though)

[outer pollen]

I’m off Wednesday and Thursday

[compact oriole]

actually cracked or hypervisor?

cz even re9 was playable day 1 with hypervisor

[bleak pike]

Actually cracked

[bleak pike]

I just love seeing denuvo get fucked

[compact oriole]

theyre actually on a path for hypervisor to be viable not having to switch off all security in your own system. if they reach that point denuvo is over for a while

[verbal nymph]

rest in peace. At least it'll be 5 days left before Crimson Dessert and Deep Rock Rouge Core is coming soon too.

[outer pollen]

Deep Rock Rogue??

[orchid prism]

No no. Rouge.

[hardy merlin]

What is not happening?
One dude said that diff 10 on Oshaune is bullshit (because it is) and challenged devs - if they will be able to finish diff 10, the dude will donate $1000 for charity AH picks
Mouthbreathers from Helldivers discord said that the dude is an idiot, game is in perfect state, doxxed the guy, and harassed his workplace until they fired him
In this whole situation people found out that most of the work on Helldivers is mostly outsourced, and that's why the game's balance is getting worse and updates more buggy

[verbal nymph]

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

2 more months but ehh, plenty of other game to distract (Slay the Spire 2 comes to mind)

[outer pollen]

Marathon

[compact oriole]

the mentally ill strike again. how are those fucks not banned off of every platform they doxx others on

[verbal nymph]

Nah, I play Single Player/Solo only

[compact oriole]

bro doesnt wanna play with you

[verbal nymph]

I just don't like online multi Pvp, too stressful

[compact oriole]

wdym. you can play marathon pve only?

[bleak pike]

I can try

My play times are very random, aka when I don't feel horrendous lol

[verbal nymph]

you can?

[compact oriole]

im asking you. cz you said you dont play with others cz you dont like online pvp.. but youre still playing online pvpve

unless marathon has a pve solo mode im not aware of

[verbal nymph]

I don't even own marathon

[compact oriole]

oh LOL

[outer pollen]

No I wouldn’t let you

[compact oriole]

i assumed you did cz he keeps asking to play

[outer pollen]

Any player is shoot on sight

[compact oriole]

that means youre a bad person with no morals

or at least so im told from the arc raiders reddit

[hardy merlin]

Better than Tarkov then
There you shoot at people you don't even see

[serene orbit]

Are you a flying hacker or smth?

[nimble current]

I like the game but the fandom is insane

[outer pollen]

Very unhinged yeah lol

[nimble current]

I haven't played oshaune on diff10 since that campaign just released but then it was basically unplayable because the enemy designs were basically broken end hit you when they weren't supposed to and stuff like that

was it bullshit difficult? yes, but would probably still had been possible if not for that

[serene orbit]

I havent played oshaune but what would be difficult about it?

[nimble current]

I just don't like the bug front much in general so I rarely go there

burrowing bugs that pop up next to you and strike you, huge flying bugs that spews a long line of acid rain that basically instakills you that's several meters wide and hard to dodge even well in advance, hive lord worms that are huge and take so long to kill they are borderline invincible unless the entire team focus it for 10 minutes with all they got

[serene orbit]

Ok that does sound difficult lmao

[nimble current]

the burrowing bugs had a glitch where even if you clean dodged their attack they hit you

did I mention the acid dragons would take like 3-4 recoilless to kill at times and you'd have upwards of 3 at the same time

[serene orbit]

Hmm isnt dragon only 2 disposables?

[nimble current]

maybe after balance changes, but its kinda janky rng damage basically

[serene orbit]

But thats always the issue in the entirety of hd2 imo

[nimble current]

sometimes you could get them in two if you got two very clean shots

[serene orbit]

Feels like the engine cant keep up and it makes it jank af

[nimble current]

but that's kinda hard to line up when you got a hundred different things trying to kill you while you try to aim at the dragon

[serene orbit]

No limit spawning is mainly the issue too

You can kill 6 dragons then 6 more spawn

[nimble current]

yeah its kinda neverending

[serene orbit]

Same with vox engines, easy to kill but every single bot drop theres 1-2 joining in

[nimble current]

like it can be pretty chaotic on regular bug planets on d10 when you got 5-6 bile titans at a time and equally as many chargers but that's still kinda managable

[serene orbit]

Or randomly spawning in

[nimble current]

and fun

tbh cyberstan wasn't much different to oshaune with all those rolling carpetbombing bots and cyborgs running you down and curbstomping you

[serene orbit]

Vox engines

But they are easy to kill just spawn in a tank lol

[nimble current]

I haven't tried the tank yet

had to kill a dozen of them with thermites and recoilless

and they just tank your whole backpacks worth at times

[serene orbit]

Tank 2 taps

So if efficient/lucky you can take our 16 vox engines

[nimble current]

am just not that into bringing vehicles tbh, or rather not enough so to sacrifice a stratagem slot for it

[serene orbit]

Yeah i just enjoy being efficient, for me the loadout is quasar, jumppack, tank, napalm or 500kg

[nimble current]

I try to change things up to keep it fresh but I my most common picks are probably eagle 500kg/strafing run, orbital gatling/120mm barrage, recoilless, laser cannon and hmg, oh and mg/rocket/autocannon sentries

[serene orbit]

Big boom fun

[nimble current]

I like the 380 too but usually only bring it on some missions bc the cooldown is a bit long

[serene orbit]

I actually dont like the 380

Seems to never hit anything, napalm barrage however is the goat

Regularly get above 100ks with 1 napalm

[nimble current]

walking barrage is a bit more focused in a line 380

flame one is good, what I don't like is the area denial time before the flames go out

fire in general I kinda avoid because these damn helldivers burn to death in 0.2 seconds

[outer pollen]

Vro the randoms on Marathon are so fucking stupid

They're dogshit at PvP but wanna rush the fucking loot

[verbal nymph]

be nice, they have kids to feed

[outer pollen]

Like the greed on these motherfuckers is insane

Constantly dying, but the second you rez them they wanna fucking rush the loot

Like here we died right after cause these dumbos started looting instead of letting me resupply

@narrow junco That new Mesmer Pet in PoE is so cool

[narrow junco]

idk what that is

[fading spade]

Ooo

This isn't something I've seen in a long time

[narrow junco]

ohh

honestly i kinda like the other pack way more

[outer pollen]

the hideout is cool on the other one

[narrow junco]

true but the hideout i have rn is gg for me

[outer pollen]

which one :o?

nice nice

more hype. This is the kind of game I'm looking for

What I'm worried now is the combat

[cold anvil]

I genuinely hate when good games come out. I’m too broke for this.

And I get envious of people playing the said good games

[verbal nymph]

it's fine, I rarely buy games, this is one of them that I got since I'm very picky lmao

[outer pollen]

Apparently the combat was amazing on Black Desert

Well not amazing but addictive?

[verbal nymph]

if it's anything like skyrim, it'll be acceptable

[bleak pike]

I know black desert isn't exactly stellar but even that impressed me back then, especially the desert.

I loved trading and going across the desert riding my elephant XD

And I loved how good horses felt to use

His shaders are also on ultimate tbf

There can be many reasons for different perf

[fading spade]

Got to love how macOS is indirectly benefitting Linux and Windows too

In terms of dropping support for OpenGL
The main reason behind Minecraft Java moving to Vulkan

Gonna have massive and native performance gains on Linux
Maybe we won't need things like Sodium and Lithium anymore to get better performance

And since Java will get Vibrant Visuals too once the move to Vulkan is done
We will have native shaders

I'm sure people will still prefer their third party ones they currently use
The official ones can be a little strange with lighting in some situations

[serene orbit]

You have an intel amd cpu?

Crazy rare how much did u get it for

[sinful cobalt]

thats an actuall CPU

from 2017

[nimble current]

its always a bunch of numbers and xes

[serene orbit]

Whuuuut

Still super rare though never heard about it xD

Thought it was intel i9 all over again

[quartz wing]

what? theres no intel x amd

i dont think amd was like even a thing in 2016-2017

[quartz wing]

yeah cause its from 2017 and the ones like i9-13000x are newer

[sinful cobalt]

AMD was founded in 1969 or something

i never heard of it tho

[nimble current]

...how

like there's been intel and amd for the past 40 years basically

[quartz wing]

i just heard about amd like 2019-present

[trim rock]

Makes sense if they grew up in the early 10s when AMD CPUs were laughing stock, ish

[vapid lintel]

And then AMD didn't get much better while Intel shit their pants for six generations in a row

[little cape]

if anyone is looking for a good space horror co-op game. Species: Unknown

[stiff fiber]

apparently nova lake will be good maybe we will have some improvment in cpu

Marathon is using 100% of my cpu

[vapid lintel]

I won't be in the market for a new CPU for a couple years yet

Meaning I can safely ignore all of it 😄

[stiff fiber]

I have a 5600x I do not know if I wait or upgrade next gen

I would like a x3d cpu

[serene orbit]

Ill probably wait for a 11950x3d

[nimble current]

gonna be 7% faster than the 9850X3D

[serene orbit]

Probably more, but hope they somehow make the two ccds work better

[hardy merlin]

Nah, wouldn't count on it

They are now plateauing when it comes to consumer CPUs

We're gonna have Skylake situation all over again

Octa-core is the new quad-core

man this is so sick

[maiden tulip]

I'd argue it has for a while now

[hardy merlin]

Zen 5 sure
But Zen 5 X3D was quite important, putting cache under the core and all that

[tough jay]

I would say with 8 cores kind of different situation now, most workloads that do not benefit from gpu acceleration do not scale that well with more cores on the desktop. Maybe going to 12 helps a bit, having lower power cores on a laptop, sure too. But there is no rush.

There are the 2 ccd ones and they just are not needed for most people.

[young hill]

aghh I think some part of Dead by Daylight players are inherently toxic, did a lot for the final teammate, i get on the second hook and they do not bother taking me off fine.

However, what ensues next is irksome at the least. I manage to escape the killer in the level but random teammate finds me and has inactivity crows. I point to them to go away as it would give my posotion away easily.

They continue to follow me and the killer locates me again, I escape one last time. Then said teammate finds me again in the location where I can heal myself only and i tell them to go away one final time. Killer finds me anyways due to person constantly running and the crows being present. Teammate then hides in a locker great thanks.

[cold anvil]

@buoyant osprey beat re5 a couple hours ago

Story is residents evil alright. Dated clunky controls was expected. But oh my god the pacing. Absolutely hated the pacing

Gameplay is good but that probably just cause its copy and pasted from re4 if I had to guess

I feel like I’d enjoy the game much more on a second playthrough with more powerful weapons

I played with a friend btw

Every modern Resi fan

[buoyant osprey]

Wat

[mellow garden]

I shall be getting Crimson Desert next week, not Death Stranding 2 PC.

I'm sorry, Kojima-san.

[ivory dune]

'

[mellow garden]

Gotta catch 'em all

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9wXmZqZ22Qc
Mirror's Edgen't

[verbal nymph]

I forgot that's also next week

But it's like $15 more on my region compared to Crimson Dessert so it's quite more expensive

[mellow garden]

£55 for Crimson Desert vs £70 for Death Stranding 2

Not that the price difference concerns me, I just don't feel like paying more a stagnated PC release from a publisher that's seemingly backing out of future PC releases.

I'd rather buy the new, seemingly PC first game.

[verbal nymph]

I see

[mellow garden]

Death Stranding 2 does appear to be an incredible game, just fuck Sony.

[compact oriole]

wont catch me paying 80€ for any base game

[mellow garden]

Me when GTA VI base edition is £100

💳

I will be buying GTA VI even if they pull the $100 USD base price.

[orchid prism]

I draw the line at 30-40 for a big AAA game personally - with all the DLC.

Small indie titles usually half of that.

[mellow garden]

Even if that rumour was bullshit.

[compact oriole]

any game that has denuvo or is more than 70€ ill get a key instead

[mellow garden]

It's Rockstar, they always cook.

[orchid prism]

And if it wasn't for the fact I get free Paradox DLC keys, I'd consistently be 2-3 DLC behind cause otherwise it's like paying for an MMO

[ivory dune]

Lucky

[mellow garden]

I picked up the most recent ETS2 DLC last night

Driving through the Nordic countrry side is cool

[orchid prism]

[mellow garden]

Another game that keeps on cooking

[orchid prism]

Denmark be like fields and light forest. Sweden be like forest and elk. Norway be like Mountain.

[mellow garden]

The overhauls to the base game and older DLC content have been nice as well.

[orchid prism]

[mellow garden]

I look forward to the UK overhaul in time for the Ireland DLC.

[bleak pike]

Amen

I'm a patient gamer 😅

I waited two years to play Jedi survivor when it hit £10

[verbal nymph]

But i have big deeps now

[outer pollen]

For the people who say no one from the original Bungie team is still there

Bungie the masterminds of gaming

[serene orbit]

Is it better or worse to associate with bungie

[outer pollen]

I’m pretty sure a lot of these guys saw an extremely toxic work environment and I wonder if they did anything about it

[outer pollen]

Arknights Endfield was such a fucking disappointment of a gacha

[compact oriole]

not like that means a lot either tho. about 70% of highguard devs worked on apex and like 1/3 of em worked on titanfall

[verbal nymph]

Why?

[lone cosmos]

arent highguards servers shutting dowm soon?

[compact oriole]

theyre already off

[orchid prism]

Yep. Can't even download it anymore.

[hardy merlin]

Oh yeah, random devs and artists
Not creative minds who created the idea of good games
Also Marty O'Donnell

[lone cosmos]

oh wow… that was fast.

[hardy merlin]

3.2 Concords

[orchid prism]

Now we wait and see how logn Marathon clings on.

[lone cosmos]

it would be nice to see it maintain a healthy lifespan

[hardy merlin]

Marathon may actually cling on
Destiny 2 bled players like crazy, yet it's still around
Now it has stable 30k players

[compact oriole]

what has stable 30k?

[hardy merlin]

Marathon

[lone cosmos]

last i seen Destiny 2 had around 6300 active players ?

[outer pollen]

Content drought like back to back

[compact oriole]

marathon after a week is about 60k peaks down from almost 90k at launch

[hardy merlin]

30k stable, 50k peaks
D2 has 5k stable and 10k peaks

[outer pollen]

Bungie crawled so gaming could exist

[orchid prism]

I guess time will tell. Costs the same as Arc. Just differently flavoured extraction shooter against AI 😄

[lone cosmos]

Jesus that game just clings on to whatever it can

[outer pollen]

You can’t kill destiny

[verbal nymph]

oh, I though it'll be something worse

[lone cosmos]

Which i will give it props because the sheer amount pf shit its been dealt and it still lives to see another day

[outer pollen]

Also the game kinda shafts you if you pull the character you want early on, the only way to get weapon pulls is by pulling characters or buying the weapon pull currency

[compact oriole]

wdym by "stable"? 30k is like the min players at the worst time of each day

[outer pollen]

Literally like a few months ago they didn’t even have enough players for matchmaking and the game is still going

[hardy merlin]

Bungie has diehard fans which keep the game arrive by sheer fandom and sunk cost fallacy

[lone cosmos]

its nice to see people still sticking with it, but it must take some damn will power

[compact oriole]

well some people just actually still like it even if its hard to understand

[outer pollen]

I wanna see how Bungie is gonna handle the Marathon resets

[hardy merlin]

So at any given moment has 30k CCU, so that's stable playerbase

[lone cosmos]

i still love destiny, but its just not something i can stick with as much as i used to

[compact oriole]

either way. losing 33% of players within a week doesnt boat well for a live service game

[outer pollen]

I’m sure it’ll be fine, if the Finals can survive with like 12k players daily it’ll be fine for Marathon

[lone cosmos]

Its had a damn good run, but for me personally, Once the Light and Dark saga ended that was my stopping point

[compact oriole]

its only fine if they make back the money. thats already not the case. all depends on sony

[hardy merlin]

The Finals doesn't have Sony breathing down their neck

[compact oriole]

embark wasnt acquired for like almost 3.6bil. with hundreds of millions into marathon dev + marketing

[hardy merlin]

And they spent $3.2B on Bungo

[compact oriole]

k i was a lil high with 7b. it was 3.6

[hardy merlin]

Looks like $3.2B initial, $3.6ish with everything

[outer pollen]

1 Bungie employee is worth 1 billion

[hardy merlin]

Still, I think that Marathon could and maybe still can do it
They do something right if Destiny is around for so long
Just that management standing over Bungo doesn't help

[compact oriole]

sony been making the worst decisions the whole live service push was billions straight up burned in a fire with no return and them giving up on it. buying bungie was been an absolute mistake, since they released NOTHING that even made itself back even ignoring the acquisition of 3.6b beforehand

if i was working at bungie id be trembling rn

[hardy merlin]

Sony is weird
They sold rights to KDH, a billion-dollar IP now, to Netflix for $20M, because project was "too risky"
SME gave away publishing rights to UMG for practically free for KDH album that was Top 1 for several weeks and Top 10 for months
Sony Pictures is trying to nickel and dime Crunchyroll/Funimation on every step, despite earning billions on it
Sony Entertainment is running away from PC, because allegedly they are scared of Valve and new Xbox PConsole despite having an iron grasp on console market now and doesn't double down on it
They had opportunity to purchase Tango Gameworks with amazing IPs like Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within, but let Krafton get it
It's like they want to lose money

[compact oriole]

big oofs

i see why the boomers at sony wanna stop pc ports cz next "xbox" is basically going to be a pc that can install steam

so thatd mean all sony games would go to what ever this version of "xbox" this is gonna be

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, but the Xbox PC/console will definitely be more expensive than Playstation, they said themselves that they target higher price point
So it's not really a danger for Sony, plus they'd get a lot of money off of publishing

[compact oriole]

explain that to the conservative boomers over there stuck in the perpetual console war

[verbal nymph]

Its like the people at Sony is out of date

[hardy merlin]

And yet they are winning because their competitors are hilariously incompetent

Appointment of new CEO should be a signal enough, that they want to ditch Xbox but new console is too far in development to do that

[compact oriole]

well sony won the console war before they were chaining one bad decision after another. xbox has given up on competing in the console space and exclusives ages ago

i cant even remember what the last xbox only game was

apparently halo 5 in 2015 mightve been the last xbox exclusive game

[hardy merlin]

Also they lost billions on buying game studios and cancelling projects after years in development
Perfect Dark for example was in almost in beta already

[sinful cobalt]

im soo sad about Perfect Dark

that game looked soo good

[hardy merlin]

Yee, I looked forward to it too

Especially since they pinkie promised several times that it will release no matter what

[vital wren]

They broke a pinkie promise?

[sinful cobalt]

FUCK microsoft

This is better

Tomodachi boring already executed concept

This is new

I want the new Jeff Kaplan game

[mellow garden]

Raquel is going to ban you for posting this

[maiden tulip]

you all know im right

tomodachi is just more of the same

[nimble current]

that about sums up nintendo in general

[cold anvil]

Tbh if it was just a port I’d buy it again anyway.

And if it wasnt more of the same I don’t think it’d be tomodachi life….

Its more of the same plus new stuff which is awesome :D

[maiden tulip]

dumb take

you clearly havent touched or looked at their games in a while

[orchid prism]

Looked up Druid forms on a whim while watching someone play Classic.
And now I'm genuinely mad. Apparently they did some events in Legion that unlocked a very distinct bear form that's just... impossible to get now.

[cold anvil]

Wanted to convert my custom maps folder into a zip for archival purposes and only just now remembered i have like 4000 maps 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I did it through bs manager so I have no idea how long its gonna take

[cold anvil]

@cyan pewter they released an animated video of the new agent in valo

https://youtu.be/gictwC-KlTk?si=EApvlVMvcMStrFo5

I assume this is after the events of alpha vs omega

[bleak pike]

I can hear that gif

[cold anvil]

MY WRISTS FEEL PAIN AND I AM TIRED I AM SO WASHED

I should be responsible and take things at a slower rate so my body doesn't crumble.

muscle memory is there though

[nimble current]

I played beat saber once

it was awful

[cold anvil]

dude I was top 2000 ww in my prime, it takes time to build up that muscle

the game is sooo goodddd

best rythm game of all time in my books

[bleak pike]

"Custom Banner"

Mate, I think you're supposed to put something there.

[nimble current]

some cooling cream

[cold anvil]

yeah I just downloaded everything for the newer version, file transfers isnt fully seemless in the mod launcher 🫠

[bleak pike]

Well you're very good, I struggled on medium difficulty even before being in a wheelchair

Once I put my guitar down growing up (guitar hero) I was never able to master rhythm games again XD

[cold anvil]

thanks

I still have it in me mentally but my body doesn't 😭

I have to get used to the game again by taking a slow approach

I already fucked up today and my wrists hurt cause I got cocky and thought I can just play 12* maps like I used to

[quartz wing]

so, are you buff now?

[cold anvil]

[compact oriole]

people tryna get big on producing nonstop hate content is so fucking weird

vindicta made me dive into this guys channel. bro is an insane nintendo fan and some super right wing nut. bro reminds me of thequartering

[young hill]

They must not be happy with themselves, but that is fairly obvious.

[maiden tulip]

People freak out about game key cards but then act like this is fine

https://respawnindex.com/crimson-desert-ps5-physical-edition-requires-48gb-mandatory-online-update-and-internet-connection-to-launch/

literally doesn't matter if it has data on the disk or not, 48gb of data isnt on disk and needs to be installed :)

[young hill]

honestly

i remember back in the late xbox 360 days

you had to install extra data for some titles

[compact oriole]

the difference is that one of these is a new issue and the other has been industry standard for 10 years

but its the same shit

[maiden tulip]

It's the same shit

You can't play the game without downloading it first

[compact oriole]

ye

[maiden tulip]

Doesn't matter if there's any data on the desk as it's unusable xd

[maiden tulip]

Back then you could boot without updating

The whole mandatory update started with the xbox one

[compact oriole]

in the case of the other consoles it was a physical limitation of the disk not being able to hold enough data. im doubting thats the same issue nintendo has tho

[maiden tulip]

The storage used is expensive and not worth manufacturing in smaller capacities and is slower than internal storage

[compact oriole]

even if it is slower, was never a problem

[maiden tulip]

it is a significant difference

Enough to cause a performance impact in some titles

[compact oriole]

i mean.. even if we assume that to be true, somehow i feel thats not the force behind the decision

[maiden tulip]

https://frvr.com/blog/final-fantasy-7-remake-director-says-theres-no-way-around-game-key-cards-on-nintendo-switch-2/

[compact oriole]

either way it doesnt matter. thats just the way media is going and theres no turning back

[maiden tulip]

I mean running games on a regular sd card on a steam deck is awful

Modern titles

[mellow garden]

Nintendo chose to use eMMC for Switch 2 cartridges. A Switch 1 can read every Switch 2 game, with all Switch 2 Editions working on both consoles.

[maiden tulip]

indeed there's that aspect too

You can put a legend of zelda switch 2 edition in a switch 1 and it will work

[mellow garden]

The only good storage on the Switch 2 is the piddly 256GB internal SSD. Even a microSD Express card is substantially slower, it’s just fast enough for these early ports.

[maiden tulip]

That's a way smaller diff

Microsd express nears modern ssd speeds 900mb/s

Game keycards are more like 200mb/s

[compact oriole]

main reason is the reason all of em love. they dont want people to be able to resell games. these gamekeycards will push people to just buy digital instead

[mellow garden]

My prediction is that this is the last generation in which physical is actually present beyond some niche releases, if any. Any support on PS6, Switch 3 etc will largely be for backwards compatibility.

[maiden tulip]

The game keycards are literally resellable tho

[maiden tulip]

Pc gamers made the switch a while ago and dont seem to care

[compact oriole]

yes, but the value proposition to physical buyers is lower

you buy the card and you still have to download the full thing

[maiden tulip]

It does the same thing you can resell it, you can put it on your shelf you can take it in and out of your console

That's not why people buy physicals tho

That's the funny thing

[compact oriole]

it obviously is because its a huge topic of contention for that reason

if that wasnt the reason noone would bat an eye

[maiden tulip]

No one buys a physical because "i dont have internet"

[compact oriole]

no, but if they buy the physical version of the game they want the game to be on the cartridge

[mellow garden]

Nintendo platforms never had a large used market in the UK. The buyers just aren’t selling their games in the same way Xbox or PlayStation people did.

[maiden tulip]

It's a made up reason as they associate owning with having the data on the cart but they'll gladly buy doom dark ages or crimson desert with useless disks at launch

[maiden tulip]

most people dont resell their games

People say they like having the option but never do

[mellow garden]

Nintendo’s problem was being honest rather than hiding it behind the fine print.

[maiden tulip]

Hell i've never traded in a game

[maiden tulip]

its a giant label... literally unmissable

[compact oriole]

ye.. thats what hes saying

[maiden tulip]

like im sorry but if you're too dumb to notice this

i dont have any sympathy lol

[compact oriole]

calm down fangirl

[mellow garden]

I’m aware of several major publishers planning to go digital only in the next few years.

[maiden tulip]

The way sony does it is criminal lol

[mellow garden]

Which I’ve heard from a friend that works in the industry, I shall keep it intentionally vague for the obvious reasons.

[compact oriole]

have they even put a single game on ps5 on the disk?

[maiden tulip]

Demon souls?

[compact oriole]

that was on a disk?

like the game was on it?

[maiden tulip]

I think so

But 1.0 is buggy apparently

But playable

Mostly framerate shit

[mellow garden]

I have no doubts that GTA VI will be digital only at release. Stops copies leaking early and spoilers being everywhere pre-release.

[young hill]

if the system was not connected to the internet* bit easier to do on an arcade sku since it lacked an antenna(seperate accessory) or reliance on ethernet

[compact oriole]

game will prolly be 100-200gb or smth

[maiden tulip]

https://youtu.be/J_JVVUnCWnY?si=bgOfOYfARIE65hoo

[mellow garden]

Xbox One was ahead of its time, if you ignore the Kinect bundling.

Being able to trade digital games would be huge in big 2026.

[young hill]

kinect is cool whatcha mean

[young hill]

what about the steam library function? rather than trade why not share?

[compact oriole]

wasnt it xbox who tried to make it so you cant resell games and sony capitalizing showing how you can trade games?

[maiden tulip]

You can do that on nintendo fanily

Its nice

[young hill]

one point to nintendo then

[maiden tulip]

Its quite practical

[young hill]

all i found was this

which i would say is baloney unless you buy a new game at full price and beat it quickly for a refund

[maiden tulip]

https://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA?si=Eu0mTpQJqu7BUqv_

[compact oriole]

ye i just found the video too

[maiden tulip]

Yes and it was a really funny ad

[compact oriole]

xbox backpeddled that shit so fast

[young hill]

oh

i think that was with the xbox one no?

[compact oriole]

xbox made that huge announcement that you cant trade games and sony released this as an answer

ye xbox one

[young hill]

they made a a lot bad decisions back then

yes forcing the kinect down peoples throats was one

[maiden tulip]

Remember online passes on the 360 and ps3?

[young hill]

and whoaza $500 for the xbox one bundle right?

[maiden tulip]

I remember buy battlefield bad company used and couldn't play it until i bought a 15$ online pass

On the xbox store

[compact oriole]

isnt that what they still do tho

you still gotta pay for online

[young hill]

free to play games

[compact oriole]

apart from f2p games ye

[young hill]

are an exception supposedly

but is that not true on playstation too though

[compact oriole]

if one did it the other had to follow suit imo, so im guessing both have it

[maiden tulip]

nonono this was on top of xbox subcription @compact oriole

[compact oriole]

[maiden tulip]

Like if you bought the game used you were locked out of the mp

[young hill]

there was also a time of Games on Live

[maiden tulip]

Even if you had xbox live gold

[young hill]

pc paid subscription

[maiden tulip]

Because they'd put a consumable code in the box

You needed xbox live gold AND the consumable code

To play online so jf you bought a used copy you had to go pay 15$

[young hill]

Sorry dashi but I do not think that is right

[maiden tulip]

It is right

[young hill]

Proof please and thanks

[maiden tulip]

I literally remember buying battlefield bad company 2

[young hill]

I mean you said that

[maiden tulip]

i just showed you

For battlefield 3

[compact oriole]

funny to see how xbox went this aggressive with shitty anti sonsumer behaviour when they were kings and now they dont even have a console and completely changing their tune

[young hill]

Must have been a rare case then

It might be some stunt pulled by EA

[compact oriole]

mightve been an EA thing

[maiden tulip]

It wasnt just EA

i boughy bulletstorm on 360 and it also had it

Soul sacrifice on ps vita also had one

[young hill]

Xbox Series X is still impressive, in today's landscape might be better to grab that instead of a PC.

If one is not a PlayStation fanboy

[compact oriole]

bullet storm had online?

[maiden tulip]

Yes

On 360 it did you had a horde mode

The online pass also gave you a silver lasso

[compact oriole]

i remember playing the campaign and having a blast

[young hill]

Sounds like a mixed bag

[compact oriole]

and they also had a great demo making fun of cod

[maiden tulip]

Another game with it you needed psn plus AND the pass

[young hill]

Usually those codes you mean on most games were for a live trial and or another complimentary code for in-game item.

[young hill]

Lol that looks like absolute bull

[maiden tulip]

Also i remember ghost recon having it

[maiden tulip]

Not the same thing at all tho xD

Those trial codes were actually cool

[glad lake]

Ha i remember that, i still have mine

[maiden tulip]

FUCKING TOLD YALL

[young hill]

Well from my experience that is all I ever encountered

[maiden tulip]

Oh and Lost Planet had it

[young hill]

Lived in universe where I was not aware of the tomfoolery that was pulled

[maiden tulip]

I miss that game i liked it

[compact oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZyH320R0bI "duty calls" that shit was hilarious

[young hill]

Ah another EA game of course

[compact oriole]

wdym?

[young hill]

Bad company

[compact oriole]

ye, battlefield

[young hill]

And bullet storm, online pass codes

[maiden tulip]

Was epic games

Not EA

[compact oriole]

says EA right there

[compact oriole]

lol epic and people can fly developed it and ea published it

[young hill]

Damn they were together lol

[maiden tulip]

Ghost recon future soldier also had it

[compact oriole]

bulletstorm was a failure? 😮

how come they remade/remastered it then

[young hill]

Here have fun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletstorm

[compact oriole]

the remaster is already 8 years old?

[young hill]

That was an odd title

Did enjoy it, but correct me if I am wrong one may was a long rectangle

lol its almost all ea and ubisoft

[young hill]

Sh Uplay passport

That I remember

[maiden tulip]

And thq and warner bros

[young hill]

Thought from what I recall it was one instance right dashi?

[maiden tulip]

And capcom

[maiden tulip]

There was more tha one

[compact oriole]

lol im watching a comparision of bulletstorm original vs remastered.. they look the fucking same but have different post processing effects

[young hill]

🤔 coula sworn I did it once and made a Uplay account and never again.

[young hill]

Does one have RTX On

[maiden tulip]

I remember

Buying battlefield bad company 2 used

Asking the guy IS THE CODE IN THE BOX

he said yes and that it wasn't scratched

Go home, there's a scratched off code already used

[young hill]

That seems really shitty, because that makes part of a game unplayable

[maiden tulip]

I go back to the store and he didnt want to refund me

[compact oriole]

dont think so

[maiden tulip]

I was like 13

[compact oriole]

ngl gamestop allowing kids to trade in games shuolda been illegal

[maiden tulip]

But yeah idk my dad who had drove me had a chat with the guy and i got my money back

[compact oriole]

i gave away so many games for pennies as a dumb kid

[young hill]

GameStop scamming on used games anyways, I turned over my stuff to disc replay and half price books

[maiden tulip]

He kept refusing to refund saying it was against store policy and that i left the store with the game and removed the sticker holding the box shut so no refund

[young hill]

Smh no warranty if sticker removed

Literally illegal

[maiden tulip]

Awas eb game's policy back then

And warranty didnt exist unless you paid their

disk protection fee

It was sold as is if you remove the sticker holding the box shut no returns

[young hill]

Guess they never heard of a credit card charge back

[compact oriole]

been the case for pc games as well since the invention of drm and keys

[maiden tulip]

I was 13 i paid cash lol we talking 2010 here

[young hill]

Ah shucks

[young hill]

Well on steam you have a window

On other sites must not have used the said key

[maiden tulip]

The guy clearly had lied to me expecting me not to come bsck @young hill

[compact oriole]

ye but thats like relatively new and its also of their own volition

i was talking about buying physical pc games with a key in the box before steam monopolized the market

[young hill]

That makes me dislike people saying, they are doing their job

[young hill]

Regardless, crazy they would to a child

[compact oriole]

well he just some badly paid employee. maybe he didnt know because its not supposed to be the case

[young hill]

He could have opened it himself and checked 🤷‍♂️

[compact oriole]

why would he check if the assumption is, it wouldnt happen

also then the sticker is gone and he has to keep it

[young hill]

Grifter mentality

It is a used game remember

Even before Dashi bought it

[compact oriole]

im just saying theres a possibility he wasnt tryna scam

[young hill]

Well imma leave it be, dashi know what happened better than us

[compact oriole]

she can read minds?

[young hill]

no she was there in that scenario

[compact oriole]

it really doesnt matter so i wont push the point further

[young hill]

But the situation does remind me of a company passing a defect to consumers fully aware

And apparently fixing it is more expensive to them than future lawsuits

[compact oriole]

well usually selling defective stuff doesnt result in lawsuits and also not like most employees even think that far

[young hill]

I see the point you make there now

Still seems silly at the end of the day, these retailers could have been provided spare pamphlets in case a game goes used. Or better yet the publisher phased out the shenanigans it set place once.

Also so much for game preservation too..

[compact oriole]

seems like the express intent was lowering resale value

else why would you include such BS

[little cape]

holllyyyy

i remember preordering this game just so i could play gow 3 beta

[young hill]

none of the cages escaped

🤔

they are doing well to market the title in my opinion

Warframe yap yap

[small comet]

[vernal breach]

Mhm

At least remove the chat timer in here smh

[small comet]

usually what happens when told to move

[vernal breach]

It’s fine!!! Mansen is the big guy. Gotta listen to bro

[orchid prism]

Timers should be the same across channels. You'll have to get Tony to fix that though

[small comet]

isnt general also 5?

[vernal breach]

Yes yes

Make it 0 😭

[orchid prism]

[fathom swift]

please don't

[small comet]

i honestly dont know why game is ratelimited

[ivory dune]

You adhd chatters need the ratelimit

[vernal breach]

I stare at the chat for 4 seconds waiting to send my shit

[ivory dune]

It's me, I'm the adhd chatter

[orchid prism]

Learn how to form proper sentences. If you need to post more than every five seconds, that's a skill issue.

[small comet]

just keep editing the previous message

[orchid prism]

Consider it a DPS check. Bursts, not dots.

[ivory dune]

Hahahaha

[orchid prism]

[ivory dune]

Bring back forum posts

[fathom swift]

ppl really using enter like it's the spacebar

[small comet]

i am a string supporter of bringing back forums in general

[vernal breach]

I’d consider this a flex tbh, getting to MR30 is still a mission in itself

[ivory dune]

Lower the actuation of your spacebar

So that it takes 5 seconds to press enter

[ivory dune]

Forums didn't have the always online need that I miss with modern chats

I mean, I hate being assumed always available

[small comet]

ill just ask aliexpress or etsy people to make me some

[vernal breach]

😭😭

[fathom swift]

guys they need to nerf banshee she's too good

[outer pollen]

Wild I’ve been playing Warframe since Beta and never bothered going to 30

[ivory dune]

Guys do you like my mr30 thing

[vernal breach]

It’s funny because you actually need to be MR30+ & need Warframe to actually verify it before pressing “purchase” 😭

[ivory dune]

I got it on etsy

[vernal breach]

TIRPS

[ivory dune]

[small comet]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/198012530796

[vernal breach]

[vernal breach]

LMFAOOO

[ivory dune]

Ahahahahaha

[small comet]

dont even need ali

[vernal breach]

bro can skip the grind 😭😂

[small comet]

not even much more expensive than the real one

[vernal breach]

At least mine is legit & verified 🔥🔥🔥

[small comet]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/267522553992

heres one with 29 in stock

[vernal breach]

Yeah. Can’t believe I paid for it

[ivory dune]

I'm buying 2

To have one more than Skorpah

[vernal breach]

Smh

[small comet]

i mean it would mean youd have 2 accounts with mr30 from what i can tell

its 1 per account

[vernal breach]

“No monies” - tirps (last night)

[vernal breach]

Correct

[ivory dune]

I always have monies for flexthings

They came from the flexjar

[vernal breach]

I’m happy I got mine, it’s so cool

Not many people have it lmao

[small comet]

https://www.ebay.de/itm/316642770088

[ivory dune]

This guy has 29

[small comet]

also can just buy this

great

no need to play anymore

[ivory dune]

Only limited thing I could buy was the destiny 2 raid bomber jacket

[small comet]

https://www.ebay.de/itm/317189570054

[ivory dune]

I did not shell for it

[small comet]

how high do these go

[vernal breach]

WAIT DID WARFRAME DROP ONE FOR LR RANKS?

[ivory dune]

Why is it french

[novel umbra]

wtf kinda shit is this

[novel umbra]

no

[ivory dune]

@narrow junco I'm at about 140m dos now on pob I think

[novel umbra]

I'd know

[small comet]

fake

the medal obviously is real

[vernal breach]

Only LR4?

[ivory dune]

I want pokemon gym badges now

[small comet]

i wont even consider getting pins

[ivory dune]

I have too many pins

[vernal breach]

I havent even taken it out of the packaging lmfao

[novel umbra]

yea hell no I am farming all the kuva weapons

[vernal breach]

That shit was ez

[small comet]

i just wouldnt wear them anyway so its just wasted space imo

[novel umbra]

getting the weapons, sure, getting them to 40 is the issue

[vernal breach]

Not really, takes like 20 mins

[ivory dune]

The joys of women handbags, mine are filled with pins on the outside

[novel umbra]

idk what you do to have a level run to 30 take 4 minutes in total

in my experience that is heavily reliant on teammates

[vernal breach]

one weapon takes 30mins to get it from 0-40 tbh, just gotta have the forma ready

I actually solo'd it with mirage

[novel umbra]

yea and it is like idk how many fucking forma in total

[vernal breach]

5 each wep

Thats why I bought 5k plat worth of forma last year

[novel umbra]

yea but for what

[vernal breach]

I need to do more eso anyway, tryna get my hildryn shit maxed out

[vernal breach]

To hold off another two years or so

[narrow junco]

goddamn

[vernal breach]

This game will always require forma.. why not spend 10k plat worth to last you some years, you wont need to think about it forwhile

[narrow junco]

i gained tons of dps and lost half my ehp

[novel umbra]

no that way I am just burning them on weapons that kinda suck to get what exactly?

[narrow junco]

i figured out plains leveling sometime last year and spent all of my forma in like a week

[novel umbra]

a legendary core?

[narrow junco]

and hit mr 30 in a month from 26 or so

[vernal breach]

Then dont spend them on shitty weapons

Its the best purchase i've ever made on warframe

[outer pollen]

There’s nothing else to do but Forma weapons imo

[novel umbra]

ok then I am done with kuva weapons

[vernal breach]

MR fodder & shitty weapons have a clear distinction

[ivory dune]

https://pobb.in/1BXi9-I2lmMG

[narrow junco]

i have better crit chance

[ivory dune]

ya bish

[narrow junco]

[ivory dune]

:p

[narrow junco]

https://pobb.in/xgW7m_czvShJ

[ivory dune]

very nice

I didn't really sewt up my pob tbh

Just threw on lifetap option and that's it

I need a lifetap imbued frostblink

but 40 divs :s

[narrow junco]

make it yourself

[ivory dune]

Annoying

[narrow junco]

[ivory dune]

I made 30 non-lifetap ones lmao

[narrow junco]

gambling

pride mageblood

you have some good gear

[ivory dune]

I didn't have a lot of moneys

[narrow junco]

i do as well, no clue what to upgrade next

[ivory dune]

So I had to settle with 3 nageblood

[narrow junco]

better than my no flask belt

[ivory dune]

perfect scenario is 4 mageblood with vuln on hit on gloves corrupt

[narrow junco]

if you have lots of cast speed i would recommend frostblink of wintry blast but that with lifetap might be even more expensive

[ivory dune]

I do not, check my big ring

oh no, I swapped rings

My old ring has -40% or so cast speed

[narrow junco]

💀

[ivory dune]

I don't need cast speed

[narrow junco]

i have big cat speed

[ivory dune]

Big cat speed

[narrow junco]

cats peed

[ivory dune]

I have about 32% chance to double damage though

So I can gamble more in my gambling game

[vapid lintel]

Gamba

[exotic musk]

MARK

[vapid lintel]

Dali and I cuddled all night, it was lovely

[compact oriole]

13 years to hack it, damn

[orchid prism]

Just goes to show the weak point is never the encryption but the human factor around it.

[vapid lintel]

@scarlet marlin I finished the first act of Expedition 33 this weekend, I am very impressed

[narrow junco]

mark is becoming french

[vapid lintel]

[compact oriole]

[scarlet marlin]

what a way to start the game huh

[vapid lintel]

Yea no kidding, I did not see the plot twist at the end of act 1 coming at all

😭

[scarlet marlin]

trauma bonding its ok

[narrow junco]

i still need to finish the game

i stopped playing in front of the final boss

[scarlet marlin]

its gonna be a ride~ enjoy the story and the world

[vapid lintel]

Next week I've got some PTO and will probably be binging it to finish it

[narrow junco]

[mellow garden]

Crimson Desert this week

[verbal nymph]

3 more days and 12 hours

[vapid lintel]

I've seen some content about that game, looks neat

Seems like they are going to deliver what they promise - a low bar, yet a surprisingly uncommon one to achieve...

[mellow garden]

Seems like it’ll be a decent open world RPG

With very good graphics

[verbal nymph]

And hopefully very optimized one

[worn dome]

standing still in a corner, how the fuck is this not a headshot?

[small comet]

the brain isnt big enough so its just a scratch

[worn dome]

annd apprantly my ehternet cable also isnt big enough if these all do no damage or arent kills

[narrow junco]

love posting screenshots of clear misses

[worn dome]

44 damage!

[narrow junco]

you would love scrubquotes

[mellow garden]

All the previews imply it’s well optimised

[mellow garden]

Native 4K60 Ultra on a 7900 XTX, for example.

[verbal nymph]

That's why I'm excited

Also the render distance is soo nice

[mellow garden]

All the DLSS 4 and FSR 4 tech at our disposal

[ivory dune]

Ethernet cable isn't big enough

[verbal nymph]

I want to play native 2k res

Pretty sure at high a 4070tiS can do 60fps stable

[hardy merlin]

1080p? Easily

[sinful cobalt]

But he wants 1440p

[hardy merlin]

2k is 1080p

[serene orbit]

Im hyped but dont have my pc ready lol

Will have to play on my gfs pc sadly
