Worst drivers are the belgians though

[cyan pewter]

have you seen new jersey drivers

[outer pollen]

Yeah go to Houston buddy

They’ll literally crash into you for fun

[vapid lintel]

A "South Floridian Lane Change" is when you take a left turn from the right lane on a road with 6 or more lanes

[scarlet sail]

pfft, ever been to india?

[cyan pewter]

been to china, similar situation wheres theres just a mass of scooters everywhere

except theres more enforcement so it wouldnt be as chaotic

[scarlet sail]

pfft, so far india really is the worst i've ever seen people drive, like heck, even the way you get a license over there is just hilarious, as in "go drive over to that pillar and come back, if you're still alive and the bike/car undamaged you'll have your license" xD

[outer pollen]

Austin is probably one of the worst ones. You got your joggers who have a herd mentality and bicyclist/commuters who choose what laws apply to them which ever is more convenient from either vehicles or pedestrians

[serene orbit]

Amsterdam would be worse then xD

[fallow bronze]

Fortunately Amsterdam is actually bike friendly

[vapid lintel]

Friendly to bikers, but the bikers are not friendly

[fallow bronze]

Did you walk on a red road mark? :p

[serene orbit]

We’re talking biker to road friendly not road to biker xD

[latent oracle]

[compact oriole]

[bleak pike]

Holy shit

Destiny is official dead

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/d2_may_21_2026

[latent oracle]

its just NetEase 😔

[mellow garden]

Repost

[latent oracle]

destiny is DEAD and the leviathan killed it

atleast theyre removing the portal 😔

[cyan pewter]

@manic owl got it

[proper basin]

New pantheon better have old raid encounters

If they’re showing callus and eater and crown

[outer pollen]

they should bring back the Taken shader, that would reboot the game

[bleak pike]

Destiny literally died for marathon

[young hill]

Good riddance

[latent oracle]

i hope marathon dies for destiny 3

[proper basin]

datto cried

actually

Disnt think id see him so heartbroken

[bleak pike]

It's sad

For people like me and him who have been so invested

[proper basin]

for real

[bleak pike]

Like if wow went down

I'm sure many people would be sad

Or RuneScape

[fringe salmon]

well yeah if any online game goes down the players arent going to be happy

but this has been coming for so long its not a surprise imo

just hasnt been profitable enough for ages

[maiden tulip]

I dont understand how you managed

[cyan pewter]

@grizzled quarry https://medal.tv/games/forza-horizon-6/clips/mKUHZLr1XUyU5HIHr?

[bleak pike]

Well probably because when final shape came out I clocked out

Mainly just played new expansions and called it a day or logged in once/twice a week to socialise.

[hardy merlin]

[trim rock]

Oh no anyway

[hardy merlin]

They could re-introduce the content they have deleted, and for which people have paid

[bleak pike]

Which is annoying because they added sparrow racing like it was nothing which people have requested since D2 launch

Added new supers and everything lmao

Fucking nobs

[proper basin]

And im assuming they’re adding old raid encounters for pantheon

[bleak pike]

Maybe but I doubt it

I don't even see the point in doing pantheon anymore

Why do anything now

The bright dust daily rotation cracked me up too

[proper basin]

Dont see why theyd have eater, levi, and crown shown when talking about it if they werent

[bleak pike]

I can finally spend my 180k being dust

I will most definitely be spending my silver now lol, I've been saving it for season passes

Actually bungie

Allow Linux

Please

In the final update

[compact oriole]

thatd be great but i really dont see them investing more than they feel like they need to for a game on maintenance overseen by the janitor

[hardy merlin]

Team Fortress 2?

[trim rock]

Heavy update soon!

[bleak pike]

Time to play destiny 1 again

[sudden prawn]

Man I still boot up Team fortress 2 from time to time

Especially the 100 man servers

[fringe salmon]

same except I just play jump maps on local server

[hardy merlin]

Meat your Match was really a final nail to the coffin

[fringe salmon]

quickplay more like a quick death update

[sudden prawn]

Yeah such a huge botch

[vapid lintel]

And nothing of value was lost

[bleak pike]

A whole universe gone

[scarlet sail]

totally not like they butchered their own game for a decade or so by cutting early game straight into mid game over and over, so yea, them closing it down literally has 0 value being lost for anyone but die hard fans

[latent oracle]

only about 1.2k hours of my time 😔

[hardy merlin]

Mismanagement of Bungie should be studied

[stiff fiber]

Ok destiny player are mad against marathon player

Like it would be the fault of marathon what happened to destiny

[hardy merlin]

Obviously
It's fault of everything else, as usual

[latent oracle]

somehow i think its razers fault

[hardy merlin]

Meanwhile...

[mellow garden]

How long before Destiny 2 becomes lost media?

[latent oracle]

somewhere after destiny 1 does

i think somewhere between peter dinklage ghost voicelines and the opening mission being in chicago according to original scripts

[hardy merlin]

2022? They basically removed 2 first years of content back then

[latent oracle]

wasnt it like later?

i vageuly remember it bein later

[proper basin]

2020*

[latent oracle]

oh yeah ur right holy

[bleak pike]

@proper basin

[bleak pike]

First 2 years? More than that.

[sudden prawn]

Ninjas play free 🥷

[latent oracle]

it was redwar, curse and warmind they cut

[latent oracle]

closer to three years iirc

[bleak pike]

More

[latent oracle]

no way right

[proper basin]

tangled shore was removed 2022

[bleak pike]

They removed the entire base game, two expansions, 3 mini expansions (seasons with tons of activities)

[proper basin]

and forsaken campaign

[bleak pike]

They removed years of wep and gear

Or well made it redundant

Then they removed frosaken minus raid and dreaming city

[latent oracle]

i thought we were talking about the first cut only that was like 3.5 years if this timeline im looking at

[little cape]

I like your Ford fusion

[bleak pike]

So basically 3 years if you include seasonal content that could no longer be used (I'm not on about activities)

[proper basin]

https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049202971-Destiny-Content-Vault

[bleak pike]

Then yes later on more content got removed

[proper basin]

basically anything from year 4 on that list

was the first removal

[little cape]

when is the dali test drive she too enjoys the speed

[bleak pike]

They were on about beyond light

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/otw-omw-on-my-way-im-on-my-way-coming-gif-10519893800094005225

[bleak pike]

When that launched

[proper basin]

yes

[bleak pike]

Oh

[proper basin]

and year 4 was beyond light

[bleak pike]

I see what you mean ye

It sucks because leviathan is literally in the game rn

Surely they'll give us wrath right?

Right?....

[proper basin]

hell no

ive been begging for years

[latent oracle]

what if instead of destiny 2 last update they secretly make a destiny 3 and everyone is happy again

what if its all a ruse

[fringe salmon]

given that d2 has been going down for years that wouldnt really do anything

[latent oracle]

surely

[proper basin]

rip that expansion they were planning though lol

[bleak pike]

Probably copium but they used teasing words

[mellow garden]

Remake the campaigns of Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 as a single player game

[vapid lintel]

Hey now, Diablo 2 was pretty great

[bleak pike]

Can't believe the Nine are gonna win

[latent oracle]

thats why im hitting that cope pack

[outer pollen]

I wouldn't take back my time spent on destiny for sure

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smiling-cat-cute-cat-cat-meme-smiling-gif-10086598795453609558

[bleak pike]

Ye

[hardy merlin]

Now we be mappin
Thanks for update

[maiden tulip]

If yall are curious how an older pc handles forza

At 4k

[little cape]

no one is curious

[maiden tulip]

Ok

it ran at 60 on low/medium mix

[buoyant osprey]

I have 20 hours in Gothic 1 now and I still like the game a lot. It's the closest I have come to experience something like Morrowind for the first time again. This is better than Morrowind in certain ways even

[cold anvil]

WHY DOES IT TAKE LONGER TO LOAD INTO FORZA OFFLINE THEN IT DOES ONLINE

FUCKING FINALLY THE FESTIVAL PLAYLIST IS AVAILABLE

[young hill]

so it is optimized good to know

[scenic pier]

“Oh sweet theres a new elden ring statue coming out of the main character! Im sure the price isn’t gonna be an absurd amount of money- SWEET MOTHER OF NEPTUNE!!!”

[proper basin]

@outer pollen

[cold anvil]

The festival playlist car is really cool

handling is reall good too

Now marks RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 becoming the third best-selling game of all time worldwide! (per the Take-Two earnings call)

Huge congratulations to everyone involved creating this incredible game, especially to @rclark98 for his memorable performance.

X · May 21, 2026, 8:19 PM

[vivid wharf]

at first I was like 2080 no RT, DLSS and only 40 fps? but then noticed 4k res lol

[scarlet sail]

would easily run at 60-70fps @1440p, which is more or less the most anyone needs unless your playing on a huge 50" tv while sitting right in front of it^^

[vivid wharf]

old skyline so nice

[bleak pike]

I still need to play the sp

[scarlet sail]

makes me wonder if one of my all time fav cars is in as well

1970s lotus elite

[compact oriole]

not sales, but still very good

[bleak pike]

Most people I know bought it

I think Forza is something a lot of people buy

Especially with the game pass prices

[compact oriole]

13 bucks to play a game most wont play more than a month seems like a good deal to me

[compact oriole]

the pass is massively popular especially for day1 releases

[bleak pike]

It's not $13

[compact oriole]

its 13€ (the pc pass)

what ever they ask in $

[bleak pike]

Oh right but you're counting the pc game pass

I would imagine most Forza players are console

[compact oriole]

ye. it probably gets a lot better use than the 21€ or what ever it is for the ultimate xbox one

seeing forza 300k peak on steam is crazy, considering this feels like a game people that has good numbers on the xbox app

[lone cosmos]

destiny 2 gets its last ever update june 9th

[compact oriole]

games ded

[lone cosmos]

Oh well

[compact oriole]

huge team like bungie cant keep working on a 10k peak game

[latent oracle]

truthnuke

[small comet]

weird they keep working on marathon then

[latent oracle]

wasnt there like a leak about a destiny codename something thats rumoured to be like d3?

[compact oriole]

ye and theyll definitely keep working on it for a long time. nothing says "we will support this for a long time" than a post from sony saying "we will definitely not abandon this game yet"

tho what i rather meant to say is that 10k is not enough income to pay for ongoing dev

[scarlet sail]

at least they somehow managed to clean their ears in the marathon case and listen to what the community asked of them from literally before release (aka a pve mode), while with destiny they kept driving it against any wall they could find and if they couldn't find a wall to drive it against they built one themselves

[scenic pier]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-i-don’t-need-it-i-definitely-don’t-need-it-thirsty-gif-17101453146721253330

[small comet]

imagine they would have never gotten pulled from halo

[compact oriole]

idk people be whining for pve in arc raiders too, but i feel like its a loud minority that actually wants this

[scarlet sail]

not really, just check tarkov and how surprised the devs were after they finally gave in years later and even charge 40+ bucks for their pve mode but still have more PvE players now than they ever had PvP players

[vapid lintel]

Arc raiders did add a PvE mode though

[scarlet sail]

pvp in games like that is a pipe dream

[vapid lintel]

Aggression based match making is functionally a PvE mode

[scarlet sail]

when did that happen?

lmao nope

[compact oriole]

lol mark spreading fake news

[scarlet sail]

pretty much, yea

[vapid lintel]

Oh right, sorry, the term isn't PvE mode it's "snowflake mode"

[little cape]

hes right though

[compact oriole]

im kinda strongly doubting thats the case. and since afaik they never released official player numbers on their own launcher thats hard to track

[little cape]

they did add that matchmaking

"I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS"

[stiff fiber]

Embarks just posted something today about the matchmaking

But there is no PvE mode in the game

[compact oriole]

ok but its still pvpve with people being able to "betray". even if it happens more rarely through mathcmaking

[stiff fiber]

You are just matched with people with the same way of playing

In marathon it is just shoot on sight

Also in arc people talks a lot

In marathon they dont

[compact oriole]

idk thats just a given through design of the game imo

[stiff fiber]

Yeah but at the end marathon is a game taking itself too seriously I feel. It is a cold game

Arc is more fun and there is room for making friends

But I dont play arc anymore tbh

[compact oriole]

i still strongly believe making the enemies not look humanoid like yourself is a big factor in this

[stiff fiber]

Yeah also the first person view

I dont know I feel bungie should try its best to make marathon less serious

[compact oriole]

well theyre adding pve as a last ditch effort

[stiff fiber]

Yeah

Could be fun with raids

Arc I dont even know why but I find it boring now

I played 250 hours

[compact oriole]

seems like a good amount of time

[stiff fiber]

In marathon there is this thing people are doing their contract (quest in the game) and often you cannot compete a quest because other players PvP

If I see someone doing something I already done in a quest I leave the person alone

[latent oracle]

does marathon also have those cry baby streamers?

[stiff fiber]

Now I dont think a lot of people do that

[stiff fiber]

What do you mean?

Tbh there is not a lot of marathon streamer

[little cape]

which game doesnt have that nowadays?

[latent oracle]

like every piece of media ive seen of arc raiders is iether streamers crying they got killed / betrayed or streamers betraying other streamers

[little cape]

the current gaming community full of snowflakes

[latent oracle]

i have YET to find a cryign streamer on my fav game ever straftat (ive only found one streamer)

[stiff fiber]

No you dont have that because marathon is really shoot on sight touch much imo

People dont even leave alone other person

[little cape]

honestly i avoid games where theres a lot of streamers playing it

they bring their toxic community with them

[latent oracle]

i guess my opinion on that is screwed cause most of the games i do play atm are toxic out of itself (rust)

[stiff fiber]

Well arc I think is a game where every game can be something you write your own story. And when you watch streamer like peanutz quite funny it is a good game to be streamed

[compact oriole]

feel like this is like a terminally online thing where you would basically not even notice this if you didnt know about it/pay attention to it via confirmation bias

[little cape]

sounds like projecting

[latent oracle]

i mean i found out the peanut guy is streaming rust and its noticable byu the amount of yelling kids in high pop

[little cape]

A lot of people don't know about self awareness

[compact oriole]

well i dont pay attention to it and i dont notice it in my games 😄

but i guess im also not playing arc raiders or rust

[mellow garden]

It’s good

[latent oracle]

honestly it should stay that way (rust atleast)

[small comet]

sorry it took so long to cut

[little cape]

i dont play it either but its common sense to notice when a game is trending and all the content creators try to make content off it and of course their sheep community follows them because you have annoying interactions that you didnt have before

for example its like going to costco or sams on a Thursday right before a long holiday weekend

everyone and their mother is at the store buying crap

[compact oriole]

guess so. apart from fn maybe ive just never played any of those games that explode via twitch

[little cape]

Do i know what streamers are streaming the game ? No but you can tell based off user interactions and if the game is trendy or not

[compact oriole]

well i did play arc raiders but i quit before the streamer war bs about dipshits vs idiots or what ever their groups were called

[latent oracle]

this is extremly noticable with jynxi i feel like i play alot of games he switched to and stuff and the influx of new players is just so noticable

[lone cosmos]

he just game hops

[latent oracle]

yeah but like everytime he hops theres just a influx of new players on whatever game he hops

[compact oriole]

i heard about him but idek who he is and why he got big

[lone cosmos]

the joys of a community of sheep ig

[latent oracle]

loud = funny

[compact oriole]

i mean.. the guy is popular and people play what he plays wouldnt automatically call em sheep

[lone cosmos]

basically just another ishowspeed

screams just because

[latent oracle]

I mean, depends on who were talking about with the peanut feller rn and rust id call them sheeps cause ive met a ton of them theyre all hating on it while still playing it cus thier fav little vtuber plays it

[compact oriole]

i cannot for the life of me understand the loud=funny popularity. thats how xqc got big back in the day too

[lone cosmos]

it tickles the brainrot people

[little cape]

how to gain popularity in the streaming industry big reactions while being loud

[latent oracle]

didnt he get big cause he was delusional enough to think he was na's best tank ever?? (thats supertf btw my GOAT)

[little cape]

real

the sheep

[latent oracle]

the sheeple even

[lone cosmos]

screaming and loud = community of plebs in my opinion

[maiden tulip]

It is my living room pc

[compact oriole]

well he screamed and raged a lot so it fits the people garnering the same type of viewers today. he was obv also good at the game tho

[maiden tulip]

Living room machine xd

[latent oracle]

i do think if people like that stop being loud they lose like most of thier viewers

[scarlet sail]

stuff like that is rather helpful tho, i mean can't really tell me that there's thousands of bots just to fake some poll results, also i recall one of their devs stating it's about a 50/50 split between pve and pvp
(also sorry for the late response, something came up IRL)

[maiden tulip]

Also 1440p looks like ass on my tv

[lone cosmos]

its the equivalent of tiktok videos telling reddit stories with subway surfers player in the background

[compact oriole]

doesnt tarkov also ahve the specific issue of insane amounts of cheaters which pushed people to pve?

[maiden tulip]

Literally i'd rather play 1080p or 4k than 1440p on there

[latent oracle]

i cant even understand the guy so i lowkey never watched him i just know part of the ow fanbase at the time was watching him for his delusions on being the best tank

[lone cosmos]

tarkov bricked my old pc, good times.

[latent oracle]

no tarkov has a anticheat they would never have cheaters

[compact oriole]

ah my bad

[latent oracle]

just like cs

i do hope all the big streamers stay on cs longer it helps boost my ranking a good bit

[scarlet sail]

eh, which pvp game doesn't have cheater issues nowadays?

[scenic pier]

dude this clip reminds me of how when i used to play battle for bikini bottom on my ps2 when i was a kid and was always scared to go into sandys house because i had an irrational fear of dried up SpongeBob

[lone cosmos]

Krunker.io

[compact oriole]

non. no fps anyway

[latent oracle]

straftat

it also doesnt have alot of players but thats besides the point

[compact oriole]

well usually websites dont make cheats for dead games

[latent oracle]

HEY its not dead it just hasnt been discorved yet

[proper basin]

Revenge of the flying dutchman does the atmosphere better but that game is so ass 😭

[scarlet sail]

pretty much, so i'd say cheaters driving people into pve is neglectable, since pretty much every other game would have the same

[compact oriole]

well im being facetious. the 800 peak they get is more than enough for a 1v1 game but like if youre in the business of selling cheats thats not the numbers your looking for

[lone cosmos]

so is there any games out that are a time sink but a fun time sink?

[compact oriole]

yes

[lone cosmos]

no game i’ve been playing is anywhere near satisfying or enjoyable atm

[scenic pier]

ok maybe my fear wasnt irrational because what the fuck is this

[latent oracle]

for me its been scritchy scratchy (i love GAMBA)

[compact oriole]

thats usually the time to look to do smth else. but ive also never been able to

[lone cosmos]

the games just dont feel engaging enough wether its pvp or a pve one

[compact oriole]

been sitting at the pc this evening not wanting to do anything just sitting here wasting time browsing and chatting

im like too hyped waiting for my new wheel to play fh6 on but im like 80% sure its not arriving before the weekend

or rather before sunday. and this weekend is a long one too

[scarlet sail]

i'd say that depends on your definition of a fun game to sink hours into, i've easily sunken 1k hours into soulmask, another 1k+ into wurm unlimited, 2k+ hours into war thunder etc

[vapid lintel]

Buddy and I have been playing Soulmask lately

[lone cosmos]

i could sink an easy 10k into a game i truly enjoy

[compact oriole]

its also insanely subjective to ask for a fun game with tons of grind. theres people who never stopped playing destiny 2

[vapid lintel]

Building a new main base

[compact oriole]

d4 got a new expansion and/or poe 2 is getting a fat patch and new season next week or smth

[vapid lintel]

Bit of an aged screenshot, I've got that current top floor completed and am working on the roof

[lone cosmos]

Mmm Poe2 is a good shout actually

have missed a season or 2

[scarlet sail]

yea same here, actually had more than twice that in wow during it's first 6 years after release, but what i meant is, that it comes down to what kind of game you'd enjoy enough to sink in that much time

[compact oriole]

insane patch coming up on the 29th or smth. and then release end of this or early next year

[compact oriole]

numbers go brr games always really good for most people

[scarlet sail]

meanwhile i haven't even played it once since the 1.0 release, still waiting on a friend of mine and until the patches slow down

[latent oracle]

real quick insertion cause we were talking about dead games earlier does anyone know whats up with ark survival evolved is that like dead alive or a zombie atp?

[vapid lintel]

Stay the fuck away from that game

[compact oriole]

lol

[latent oracle]

is that a threath or advice....

[little cape]

micro transaction game

[compact oriole]

22k ccu on steam

[latent oracle]

im scared

[little cape]

both

[vapid lintel]

The devs are actively hostile to their players, and at this point have given up the veneer of pretending to support the game and have devolved into stealing as much cash from their playerbase as possible

[latent oracle]

oh yeah nvmd that sounds terrible

[compact oriole]

the 2nd game thats still in ea and is overwhelmingly mixed has 25k ccu

[scarlet sail]

[compact oriole]

75'% sale too 11,24€ rn

[little cape]

so its like battlefield 2042 and helldivers 2 within the first two months of their launch

helldivers 2 has improved over time

[compact oriole]

the funniest thing is that bf 2042 had its most players pre bf6 release cz they put in shit you can unlock in bf6

[latent oracle]

scritchy scratchy!!!!!

[scarlet sail]

huh, did wildcard seriously add MTX to ark after all those years?

[compact oriole]

i wasted 250h of electricity to afk that crap in bf2042..

[outer pollen]

https://youtu.be/BFmD9TKWKOo?si=6LLDL-7sVS-b0p2t

[latent oracle]

that was the only reason i came back to it and then i quit bf6 after like a week 😭

[vapid lintel]

I used to be the lead architect of the largest non-Chinese megatribe in the game, constructing bases which were utterly impenetrable. When my magnum opus ran into game-engine limitations, I invited the devs to take a tour and see how we could collaborate to adjust building mechanics in a way that would support their goals of improving performance.

[compact oriole]

best ark type game is lost ark. you should get into that one for sure

[little cape]

let me guess no reply?

[compact oriole]

they deleted his whole building

[vapid lintel]

Oh no they came and we spent about two hours chatting

Then they implemented a game update that completely fucked everything

[compact oriole]

and then banned him

[lone cosmos]

itd have to be some sort of mmorpg

[compact oriole]

ok so marks issue is actually really personal

[lone cosmos]

because anything else and i wouldn’t be able to fathom that amount of hours

[little cape]

"OH yeah thats a good idea mr akbar........yeah lets fuck him over "

[vapid lintel]

Intensely personal

[little cape]

ngl i would be annoyed too

[scarlet sail]

ok, guess i can't really help you on that front, i kinda gave up on the genre since nothing will ever be able to even dream about getting close to the first 6 years in wow that i got 22-23k hours in playtime with, tried a few here and there, but always dropped them after about a week or so and spent a couple hundred hours on a wow private server instead that's running my fav expansion

[compact oriole]

boy do i have a suggestion for you. and luckily for you you wont have to adapt to new content

[latent oracle]

if u havent tried u could try hypixel skyblock its technically a mmorpg or wyncraft ive enjoyed both lots

[lone cosmos]

[vapid lintel]

Soon I will have finally wiped that disgrace of a game from my top played spot on Steam, replacing it with a true masterpiece

[compact oriole]

you should invite the devs to your base once you break this one too

[proper basin]

we ballin?

[scarlet sail]

there's a reason why i'd never play such games on official servers, first no mods and 2nd always a chance for them to mess with your crap in a way you can't do anything about (like when they nerved flyer speeds in both pve and pvp just to "fix" some pvp issue 😅

[vapid lintel]

Yea I hear you there

[compact oriole]

ye better to not have 4k hours of fun and memories because something negative might happen

[scarlet sail]

who said not having that many hours of fun?

[small comet]

tried drifting with the tips i got earlier today about turning of traction control, stability control and manual shifting

still cant 3 star anything

[compact oriole]

well idk about this game but sometimes theres no option to not play on official servers

[scarlet sail]

just play community servers or actually run one yourself to be totally independent of any annoying developer brain farts

[little cape]

honestly surprised mr akbar putting that many hours while also being a huge part of wooting's operations

[lone cosmos]

maybe i pickup where i left off in FFXIV

[small comet]

most of that prob was before his time at wooting

lol

[compact oriole]

i mean its also just a job. bro probably has a good amount of free time

[scarlet sail]

ark actually has it's best fun on community servers and modded content

[little cape]

maybe dali is the one playing

[compact oriole]

it nolifed a game over 4k hours in 2 years with a full time job

[little cape]

idk if i ever put 1k hours into a game tbh

[lone cosmos]

afk hours go brrrr

[little cape]

would have to dust off the old xbox 360 and check that account

[lone cosmos]

cries in 8k+
destiny 2 hours….

[compact oriole]

i have a hand full of games with 5k+ hours but not many

[vapid lintel]

40 hours a week working, 60 hours a week gaming. Life is in balance ☯️

[latent oracle]

i thought my 1k in d2 was terrible
My condolences

[compact oriole]

man i envy people being able to put so many hours into games i find boring

[lone cosmos]

Im a sucker for love/hate relationships with games.

[compact oriole]

people that are able to play shit like diablo every season all season. i wanna be able to do that

[scarlet sail]

that's what you call nolifing already? try 22-23k hours(~2,5 years) in 6 years while going to school for the first 2 and a full time job during the other 4

[latent oracle]

thats me with rust !!!! i hate the game so much buti keep coming back

[lone cosmos]

it all depends on how far you are willing to be braindead and mushy brained for

[compact oriole]

hows that even possible. i already played like 90% of my free time

but also i didnt play the full 2 years i guess. had a pause of a couple months

[lone cosmos]

I found a balance, its called.

Humans suck, Games let me bully those humans.

[scarlet sail]

well, school for the first 2 years meant going to school at 6, returning home at about 14 then gaming until about 23-24 and repeat, on weekends it was the usual 6 hours of sleep, maybe 1-2 hours doing something else and the rest was gaming on

[little cape]

who needs sleep amrite

[vapid lintel]

Sleep is for the weak

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-tired-sleepy-exhausted-sleep-deprived-gif-5215701

exactly 6-8 hours that's used for sleeping could be you gaming

[lone cosmos]

My 24-36hr gaming stunts are done for though

man younger me was messed up

[compact oriole]

btw you averaged 12 hours a day

man i remember pulling all nighters for lan parties or like a new diablo 3 season

[scarlet sail]

i mean i found some real great people in wow back in the day, but yea, getting bullied in school made me socially shy outside of games and in games i could bully them instead so i tried perfecting that instead of bothering about the folks around at school etc

[proper basin]

rhythm gaming to be exact

[compact oriole]

dont think im doing that anymore ever

[proper basin]

get those FCs

[lone cosmos]

I get shit on irl, but ingames i do the shitting

[latent oracle]

why would u let people shit on you doesnt that start to smell?

[scarlet sail]

actually closer to like 9-10

do yall have any good incremental games i should check out ?

[lone cosmos]

i did read it back and just didn’t bother doing so

[latent oracle]

tyty

[scarlet sail]

at least i hat 1.2k hours of fun with it over the years, like 3 playthroughs totals

[latent oracle]

im 1 achievment away from finishing the incremental im playing now if it even counts as a incremental but im somehow unlucky enough to not get it

[scarlet sail]

first one took about 800 hours or so, since i simply refused to use any kind of wiki and figured out everything on my own which felt quite rewarding in the end

[compact oriole]

people should do that more in general

everyone so distracted by being efficient or doing meta shit that people stopped exploring, having fun and feeling rewarded in that way

[latent oracle]

please tell that to rust players all i see are the same youtube bases EVERYWHERE with the same flaw so most raids arent even fun anymore 😔

[small comet]

smh not played on wooting uwu

[proper basin]

i only have 1

id need 2

[small comet]

fake fan

smh

[compact oriole]

its every game. game is out for 10 min and youtube is already spammed with tips, tricks, guides, meta crap and "10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW WHEN I STARTED" bs

[small comet]

cause the views taste so good

[latent oracle]

yeah but in a game like rust where its lowkey just the worst idea to build from youtube cause if you use a famous youtube base the avarage player also knows whats wrong with it i just dont get it

on the other hand i also build the same bad base everywipe so idk what im complaining about

[compact oriole]

dont hate the player hate the game. im just saying that these days many people dont really just play anymore and find stuff themselves. first thing they do is look up how to play the best way

[latent oracle]

idk if ur really playing the best way if anyone can get into ur base easily cus u dont know how to build urself

[compact oriole]

when i played this new d4 expansion i used a guide for the build i wanted to play. imo its important to understand what youre doing/building. bro it was impossible to ask people who were ahead of me about shit cz non of em understood it. they just copied the build without brainpower

[latent oracle]

that

[lone cosmos]

me when someone asked for my lightning spear huntress build

[compact oriole]

objectively its not but they apparently dont know better

[latent oracle]

i think the only rust build vidoes ive watches was for the tech used not the base itself

cause how was i supposed to figure out building a sqaure away then three triangles in a specific order front and back allows me to make crazy peeks 😔

[lone cosmos]

at most ive only ever seen resource guides etc

[latent oracle]

not that it matterd they fixed it three days later

[lone cosmos]

everything else has just been “learn die repeat”

[latent oracle]

im so gonna crash out how hard can 1 achievment be

[lone cosmos]

maybe i should start achievement grinding any new game i get

[latent oracle]

i think the only game ive genuinly like searched stuff up for was minecraft cause i had ZERO clue how i was supposed to figure out a netherportal

[latent oracle]

this was before ruined portals i think with ruined portals i couldve figured it out

[latent oracle]

Its fun except when u cant get the last one cus its super rng based (ive hit luckier stuff then this but no the game hates me)

[lone cosmos]

main things i use are resource guides like how to get said item etc and i go from there

[latent oracle]

yeah thats fair

[lone cosmos]

other than that its just play the game

[latent oracle]

okay why can i hit b2b 1%'s but not the b2b 10% i need

[lone cosmos]

but some of the games i have had to use guides due to the sheer tediousness of some quests etc

[compact oriole]

im not big into theory crafting and spending hours upon hours on finding good builds for games anymore (like diablo or poe for example) so i usually try to find a build that looks fun and play that regardless of if its the best or not

[lone cosmos]

theory crafting is cool until it comes to actually putting that theory craft on paper

[latent oracle]

thats fair i barely play games like that so for me its diffrent i guess

[lone cosmos]

i learned that from my dnd experiences.

[latent oracle]

i think in terms of quests guidelines the only ones ive used are zombies easter eggs and some in the newer assasins creed for 100%ing

[lone cosmos]

Okay… now be careful.

WHICH zombies easter eggs?

[compact oriole]

i used to have fun trying around n shit. when i had more time. but these days id rather play smth i know works and since youtube and shit has become a career people who are better at it are on it anyway

[latent oracle]

i lowkey couldnt figure out the ball step on the paradox junction (second newest)

most i iether found by fucking around or the people i play with

[lone cosmos]

oh ew

i thought you meant like the older cod ee

[latent oracle]

By the time i tried doing all those i watched enough playtroughs to not need them anymore :P

[scarlet sail]

honestly, i usually try to be as efficient and good as i can, but reaching that point on my own via trial and error and reading up tool tips etc to plan ahead instead of giving away major parts of games to some wiki reading

Planning is the key word here. We will see in a few months

But damn, 12 years of playing Destiny coming to an end

Ive never felt this way with a game

[hardy merlin]

Stockholm syndrome?

[pure bear]

marathon still exists?

[hardy merlin]

Game is in okay state, just not in a state that Sony wants it to be

[stiff fiber]

apparently the plan to introduce PvE and other mode

I guess the game will stay around for like 1 year and probably will close if it doesnt attract players

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3065800/view/657106446377288193

at least they seem transparent about it

It’s fun

But barebones

[compact oriole]

Not a state it can feasibly be in with such a huge studio

10k ccu for smaller studios would be more than alright

Like even for embark the 15k they've been pulling on the finals B4 arc raiders was ok for em

[stiff fiber]

I think for bungie it would need 30k

with a PvE mode maybe they can get people who already bought the game and gave up back

[stiff fiber]

I am still playing it

[outer pollen]

Bungie had it all and they fumbled

[stiff fiber]

they made the game too difficult

I am not even sure they tested it

no way

I think we are a beta test

the crazy part is during the first week some people were on a ego trip hardcore werewolf energy asking for the game to be even more difficult

bungie tried to please sweat without realizing you cannot make a game only for sweat

maybe if you are a small studio

but not for bungie sony

[outer pollen]

They’re notorious for this though

They did it on D2 with the nerfing and balancing

[stiff fiber]

well next season is in two weeks but I am sure we will have to wait until the end of the year to see a balanced game enjoyable for more people

you cannot ask people to play a game 10 hours a day

to be somewhat average in it

people dont have the time for that

and moreover they give up before out of frustration

[short elbow]

The lay offs are planned

Not confirmed

Thats the copium going on rn

[small comet]

have to say fh6 festival playlist wasnt all too challenging

[compact oriole]

[short elbow]

Yepppp - im expecting nothing but hoping the destiny franchise continues

Itll take a minute for me to accept its finally done

Maybe when they lay off the team it will put me at ease

[small comet]

took me -Xyears to accept its done

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah its pretty easy

[small comet]

just gotta do dailies now

[vernal breach]

heyyyy

[vernal breach]

Yee, already finished it. i think it starts off easy for newer players, then halfway through the year, they'll ask you to use cars you havent heard of before, happened in fh5 lmao

[small comet]

also sold the 2 fe aftermarket cars from before the playlist yesterday and they insta sold in the AH

idk why even

they are cheaper on the aftermarket than AH

[vernal breach]

Yeah dude, FE cars are high in demand

[small comet]

ok but you can get both at 2 fixed spawn points with a few game reboots for less than AH price

[vernal breach]

Got the mazda one from the aftermarket for like 400k, you can resell for 600k, not worth it tbh

[vernal breach]

People don’t know aftermarket exists 😂

It’s cool though

[small comet]

but you run into them so many times though and its literally explained when you first look at one

[vernal breach]

I think there’s two or three aftermarket’s that have FE cars

[small comet]

ive only found the mazda and the breeze

[vernal breach]

Yeeee

Do you have the Subaru one?

[small comet]

thats the breeze

[vernal breach]

Oooh okay okay

Yeah, keep it, it’s currently the best off-road one

Off-road vehicle*

[small comet]

i bought a second one as well and it insta sold

[compact oriole]

Ye but you'd have to listen to them talk which is kinda hard in this game cz they talk so much bs

[small comet]

supposedly aftermarket rotates in playlist reward cars so you dont have any fomo

[vernal breach]

Is the atezza high in demand in AH?

Haven’t checked today

Because I have 19 of them, could resell

[small comet]

the mazda was listed as a festival playlist reward as well on some sites

[vernal breach]

Gosh

Destiny wasnt that good of a series anyways

it had it moments but they fumble the bag so hard

Was never able to get into looter shooters long-term. The gameplay is just kinda boring shooting bullet sponges in raids for x minutes

Borderlands was fun for the campaign and some endgame farming but never put in a ton of time

[compact oriole]

What a jackass. Back then they didn't have equalizing

So that shit sucked super hard if underlevelled

Hard to say if bl 1 and 2 still hold up these days

Bl2 does if you still enjoy the humor. But most of all the fun came from coop more than the game itself

[proper basin]

Bl1 id say no but bl2 still has some fun things if you just like grinding certain drops or doing challenges

[little cape]

yeah some people can be interesting

it is what it is I aint pressed about it

i do own bl2 but every time i play it i would fall asleep

I do understand why people like it though

but the r34 goes hard

Microsoft is really good about accessibility, they get a gold star in my book because of that.

I even actively chose to not use their derogatory nickname when writing that 😛

[grizzled quarry]

well after trying to ban all the cheating devices people claim is for "disabilities" they kinda forced themselves into stepping up and actually making more accessibility devices themselves

which is a good thing all around

its not on steam yet i think

not for another 2 years probably lol

[small comet]

would be weird if they can build the uwp app for console but dont do a release for pc at the same time

[vivid wharf]

uwp app is something microsoft/xbox related?

[trim rock]

Completely normal for them because they know people will double dip

[small comet]

uwp = universal windows platform

its meant to allow writing smth once and building it against different windows based targets without code rewrites

its also how forza horizon 6 (and basically any other game from the xbox store that works on xbox and windows pc) work

[small comet]

they would double dip anyway. if they release it now and some enhance edition in 2 years people would rebuy

[trim rock]

Triple dip then

Riot Games (@riotgames)

Well, that escalated quickly.

There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices.

The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software.

Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games.

If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the syste…

People just like to blow things way out of proportion

cheaters are somehow the most self-righteous people

the funny thing is apparent non cheaters started to weigh in in favor of the cheaters

most funny thing is people dont understand what iommu even is or does and just assumed what news spewed out aka: peoples pcs are now bricked

[frosty orchid]

i wonder how many of those "non cheaters" are people that use cheats (maybe not in valorant but other games) that just don't want anti cheat to exist in general

i bet quite a few i know of people that cheat in one game and then get upset when they get "false flagged " on other games

[vapid lintel]

They will not release it on PC simultaneously, Rockstar never does that.
They want people to double and triple dip on buying the game.

[fringe salmon]

they've glazed sonys devs too much in how much they helped them to not ship on consoles first and double dip first releases

[scarlet sail]

just be glad it's not of this magnitude xD

[fringe salmon]

data shards in that game just fill hacking gauge btw, so them not being consumed if your gauge is full is how it should be

[scarlet sail]

well, if they only fill the gauge and your gauge is already full, why would you want to waste it then?

nothing you could spend that gauge on, come back and fill up with it or something?

[fringe salmon]

thats my point, you dont want to waste it if the gauge is full so the comment with the screenshot is just silly

[scarlet sail]

^^

[buoyant osprey]

Starfield characters look so weird and fake

[fading spade]

ohh...

[scarlet sail]

yet that one looks like a 1-1 replication of ice cube xD

[cold anvil]

I understand kernel ac hate but people were so quick to assume with this, that being said they should've made this statement first lol
w riot

[manic owl]

i will not complain about my wheelspin rewards after getting this.

[scarlet sail]

meanwhile i'm still all for less intrusive AC software and instead actual means of combating that scum, like having a ID registration service that major titles could integrate into their accounts and if someone get's caught cheating they'll be banned from any and all games using the system, no mercy, no bullshit, just hard measures that are final instead of people just making a new account and continuing the same bullshit over and over again
(iirc south korea already has a system like that in place for almost a decade by now and going from what i heard it works rather well, since everyone knows, getting caught once means byebye multiplayer gaming)

[fading spade]

I'm really struggling with health management in pragmata....

The health kits are so rare to find

[manic owl]

ah yes because i want to give random gaming services, my id what could go wrong there.. surely they will have proper data protection and wont store that data unencrypted

[cold anvil]

I'm a big fan of those old super cars, they just have that look to them idk how to explain lol

[grizzled quarry]

No need to explain, old super cars are great

[manic owl]

oh 100% they are neat but 66 million is a bit much for it imo

[cold anvil]

Ig I like how much more rounded they are compared to the narrow more straight look of modern sports cars

[cold anvil]

I dont think I'm ever gonna make that much in my life time

[nimble current]

modern stuff is just trash

[fading spade]

🥺 this game is so adorablllleeeeeeee

[nimble current]

damn clanker, into the woodchipper it goes

[cold anvil]

I wouldn't go that far but they def look all samey yk? I think rich ppl ruined it cause I look at modern sports cars and all I can think about douchey rich guys who do not deserve or earned their wealth

[nimble current]

nah its just planned obsolescence junk honestly

[cold anvil]

ohh didn't know it was like that

that makes much more sense

[nimble current]

new cars is mostly enshittification unfortunately

[cold anvil]

you know ai made that art right? she's looking right at you pal.

I gotta finish pragmata

I've lowkey been slowly chipping away at it

[maiden tulip]

meanwhile me who gets 3 legendary horns of banjo kazooie

[nimble current]

just another project where the japanese has to include little kids just for the sake of them being little kids when they're actually not even that but androids dressed up as them

idk its just japan being weird again

[cold anvil]

I got the windows 10 notification

[maiden tulip]

I hate all of you

[cold anvil]

[maiden tulip]

STOP TAKING ALL THE GOOD STUFF

[grizzled quarry]

The only cars ive gotten so far are old ass fiats😭

[maiden tulip]

FUCK BANJO KAZOOI MUSICAL HORNS

[maiden tulip]

I'd rather have those than the horns

[nimble current]

like what's the point behind making a robot into a kid

[grizzled quarry]

I just want my 240 🥀

[cold anvil]

I dont think any of the cars I got from the wheel have interested me at all, all the cars I wanted I payed for with credits

[nimble current]

volvo 240 gl I hope

[maiden tulip]

I just want my impreza s209 already

[grizzled quarry]

No

[nimble current]

the real 240

[cold anvil]

I'll show you guy my collection, 14 hours in with like 50 cars

[grizzled quarry]

The real 240 is a datsun

[nimble current]

buh

name stealers

[grizzled quarry]

240z was 70s

Idk when volvo 240 came out

[nimble current]

1974

[grizzled quarry]

And 240sx was late 80s-90s

[grizzled quarry]

Datsun got them beat

240z was 1970-73

[nimble current]

well nobody knew about them then

[grizzled quarry]

[manic owl]

it was a wheelspin car

[cold anvil]

These are all my current favorites

[grizzled quarry]

My r34 deff my favorite

[cold anvil]

I've mainly been using my miata and that porsche super car to drive around

[grizzled quarry]

ive practically done nothing but drift since downloading the game

[cold anvil]

I got a drift tune set on my miata and its really fun to use

Im buns at drifting but I'm getting better

[grizzled quarry]

im unwashing still

but the drifting feels soooooo much better than fh5

[bright fox]

now drift from start to finish in one of the Goliath races, without breaking flow

[manic owl]

bro does not have the do luck kit on there

[grizzled quarry]

i do

i just didnt use the wing

[manic owl]

ahh i see , tbh i dig the wing

[grizzled quarry]

big wing r34s fuck

[stiff fiber]

Never realized alan wake 2 was epic store only

And I will never give money to epic

[scarlet sail]

honestly, what did kernel AC get us in regards to getting rid of cheaters? right, literally nothing
and while i can understand worries about handing your ID to anyone online, it's gonna happen sooner or later that you'll need to verify yourself with your ID no matter where you go, just look at discord and other stuff, so might as well cover AC endeavors in that so it'll actually have a valid purpose for once instead of just being a data-collection under the pretense of "safe the children" (and yea, generally speaking i'm against anything online that demands my ID to purchase/access stuffs, but if it's an optional thing for a cheater free environment? that's something i'd definitely sign up for

also sorry for the late response, something came up with our sheep so i had to handle that before answering 😅

[cold anvil]

oh yeah

[manic owl]

well theres no way i give a smut site my id either... this whole protectic kids narrative is just a convenient excuse to collect data on people , so i doubt folks will give up that much freedom for cheaters .

[scarlet sail]

eh, i'd rather give some AC company my ID than shitter, google or any other online platform that tries to restrict access under the pretense of "safe the children"

and among my friends (quite a lot of them are privacy defenders like myself) most actually think the same way, for as long as it's done right, it would also be safe and in turn quite valid, since it would serve an actual purpose and being an optional thing

[fringe salmon]

honestly, what did kernel AC get us in regards to getting rid of cheaters? right, literally nothing
there is nothing further from the truth

just compare what hurdles you need to jump through to cheat in valorant vs counter strike

[scarlet sail]

yet it's still full of cheater scum so effectively it achieved nothing besides making some folks filthy rich distributing software and hardware to cheat with

[fringe salmon]

absolutely not the case

you see an insanely higher amount of cheaters in other games

[scarlet sail]

so effectively it actually achieved a negative point by making it a lucrative field of work to distribute that shit

[fringe salmon]

not true, valorant cheat development is much riskier than say apex legends or tarkov for example

[cold anvil]

riots Kernel level cheats work well people just aren't comfortable with it having that much control over your system, plus doesn't work with linux

would rather use vanguard then whatever apex legends uses

imagine having no control over your system because the AC is that bad 😭

that is scary as hell

[fringe salmon]

if you want to say you dont trust riot and want to not let them use such a invasive AC, thats fine

but it absolutely is effective

they are state of the art for a reason

[manic owl]

id rather give them access to the kernel than to my id tbh

[cold anvil]

I trust china more then the U.S lmfaoo

[fringe salmon]

yeah on apex meanwhile you literally had forums tell you just play on linux because proton disabled the anti cheat

not the fault of linux but dear god is that AC bad

[manic owl]

honestly at this point a fair take , im sure they gonna treat me well with my aliexpress gold customer status

[cold anvil]

They must love you

[verbal nymph]

fr, at least at worst with kernel access my pc broke. With ID leak, people will basically know who I am. Though I do see some argument for ID, just that it needs to be REALLY implemented well.

[fringe salmon]

id would work if there wasnt a massive fake ID black market lmao

and its cheaper to get a fake id at times than buying the hardware needed for DMA cheats

[verbal nymph]

Banning the prev and last gen of family from playing to prevent the cheater from using their ID.

but yeh lmao

[manic owl]

i dont see why the state or a site would need my id, its not my job to be at a data leak threat because parents cant do their job

[cold anvil]

anyone know how to get this xp board it's been driving me nuts

😭

[maiden tulip]

I got it

[cold anvil]

HOW

[maiden tulip]

There's 2 mini sand dunes

Take a hypercar and slam into em at 300kph

[maiden tulip]

Where the little excavators are

Lemme boot my game and send you a screenie

Of where to place urself

[cold anvil]

ok thx!

[maiden tulip]

Can you send me the location on the map again

Since mine is gone cuz i got it already

[maiden tulip]

i used the awd merc amg for this btw

uh project one

use a fast awd hypercar

[scarlet sail]

like i said, if it's well done it would be safe and honestly, people knowing who you are (as in forming a connection between your game account and your real person) should be less of an issue than your PC breaking which would be a direct financial damage

[fringe salmon]

your pc is not breaking from anti cheat

[scarlet sail]

all i'd say on that front is, good luck faking an encrypted e-ID

[cold anvil]

ok

[manic owl]

have you tried the brz or the bro dozer?

[maiden tulip]

@cold anvil you gotta hit this

[cold anvil]

that boy wide

damn yeah I see the vision

[fringe salmon]

afaik no anti cheat ever has been breaking someones hardware, even the really bad ones

[maiden tulip]

reverse as far as you can get to around 250kph

@cold anvil

start from the sea so you get an angle

[scarlet sail]

if it happened or not isn't of much concern, it has the potential to do so, plus the potential to sniff around your system without you noticing which is enough for me to find it repulsive

[fringe salmon]

how does it have the potential any more than a normal game has

opening calculator has the same potential, being in the kernel doesnt give you more chances to brick hardware

if you dont like it having kernel access, fine, but thats different from making up scenarios that arent happening

[narrow junco]

When will riot games write their own OS already that you need to be running to play their games

[fringe salmon]

never, instead they are working with microsoft to move AC out of the kernel

[narrow junco]

Idk what assassin‘s creed has to do with this

[cold anvil]

IT WORKED I GOT IT FIRST TRY TYSM

[maiden tulip]

Took me a bit to figure it out

[cold anvil]

I was out hear trying to raw dog it, for a moment I literally thought to myself if I'm overthinking this and if there was a much simpler way to do it 😭

[cyan pewter]

god

[maiden tulip]

I got all the boards

[cyan pewter]

i hate these boards on the houses

[maiden tulip]

Except the ones on uh legend island

[maiden tulip]

Wait till you see the ski resort chairlift

You guys are gonna shit yourselves

[cold anvil]

I'm doing the boards rn, I'm like halfway done with the wristbands

[cyan pewter]

thats the first area im doing

[maiden tulip]

The chairlift one

[cold anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/stareing-that-one-dog-gif-14447987656123085080

[maiden tulip]

Will make you cry

[cyan pewter]

i dont even get air for this one

wtf

[cold anvil]

just bought the halo warthog for 600k creds, this thing is an absolute behemoth

[cyan pewter]

the one on the electric pole

[cold anvil]

rad

[cyan pewter]

finished snow region

[cold anvil]

are you already a horizon legend?

[cyan pewter]

i hope i got every road because my asian eyes cannot see

[cyan pewter]

yeah

[cold anvil]

damn

what lvl are you?? how many hours do u got on the game

[cyan pewter]

farmed events

[cyan pewter]

i probably finished around level 160ish?

-5-7 hours

[cold anvil]

damn, I'm level 52 with 17 hours with the pink wristband

[cyan pewter]

last 2 take a while to get

the FE miata is such a crazy car to drive

youve got to be kidding me

[cold anvil]

You got that

[cyan pewter]

ok it took 3 attempts

https://tenor.com/view/i-understand-it-now-ok-i-understand-it-now-i-understand-it-gurm-bear-gif-4859748791707698675

at least fast travel is free

without having to collect boards

[manic owl]

imo its smart to gatekeep fast travel behind roads traveled and not damn boards

[cyan pewter]

gatekeeping it behind roads discovered also can help find roads you havent been to and cant see (upper and lower parts of the highway or bridge)

[manic owl]

yeah also the map is huge compared to previous games

[cyan pewter]

i do wish there was another way to see which roads you havent discovered yet

[cyan pewter]

oh yeah thats what im talking about

w purchase

[small comet]

drag beast

[little cape]

did you design that or it comes like that

nopetendo lawsuit incoming in 3...2...1...

[vital wren]

I've played subnautica 2 for the first time today, am stunned. It looks so great
Especially on OLED

[grizzled quarry]

the spawn area at night is insane

oled really does make that game a whole different level of beautiful

[vital wren]

Yes.

[grizzled quarry]

have you gone east yet

[vital wren]

I don't know

[grizzled quarry]

[vital wren]

I was swimming around and finding stuff

[grizzled quarry]

thats where me and my buddies ended up building

[vital wren]

[vital wren]

[grizzled quarry]

very tragic night

[vital wren]

I am gonna continue diving tomorrow

Very good game

Have to play subnautica 1 still, but wanted to play 2 first because I don't wanna end up my friends finishing it and me ending up playing single player

[bright fox]

are you going to try 100% the game, 3 stars and all? It's tempting but shit it's a lot of grinding

[cyan pewter]

kinda yeah

but getting all the boards and roads are what ive done in all the forza games

[past nest]

Does anyone know a good actuation rate for geometry dash
