one thing i noticed
#dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk
crimson folio
mild ginkgo
so it may help you, but we are also looking at improving the low spec mode
crimson folio
low spec mode still leaves on a hefty amount of smog
oh nice
there ya go
smog, smoke, and colored particle effects are there in loads so having a variable toggle would be lovely
not sure if particles emit dynamic lighting but that would be a good check too, iirc it's easy to toggle in the unity engine
mild ginkgo
they do not
crimson folio
ah good
mild ginkgo
and its no so simple in unity for that specifically, but thats way beyond the scope of what dusk is doing visually
they use all sorts of nonsense for lit particles
its actually really bad
crimson folio
oh damn! that's rough
mild ginkgo
we dont need it so no worries :)
crimson folio
ig i'm too used to godot so i interpret other engines as being simple
and yeah who needs dynamic lighting in 97'
❤
mild ginkgo
unity isnt made for humans
mild ginkgo
but yeah, before dusk properly comes out youll probably have better options when it comes to improving performance, especially regarding particle effects
its a balance between @thorn trout 's visual intent and performance
having no particles can really detract from an area's mood
crimson folio
that is true
and that's awesome news
i'm sure it'll be really optimized for the smaller maps in duskworld when that comes out
mild ginkgo
but yeah, its a topic thats come up internally a few times, we're very likely to significantly lower, or eliminate particles in low spec mode
crimson folio
that's wonderful news!
mild ginkgo
at least when it comes to your weapons
especially using the ssg causes some performance issues
hexed roost
know that prior to dusk's release, we spent hours upon hours trying to squeeze performance out of it for you guys. i'm a firm believer in letting EVERYONE play. there's a reason that so many games like DOOM, Quake, GTA SA, etc are still enjoyed, because people can run them
there will be more passes on low-spec mode, don't worry
crimson folio
^^^^^^
where the fuck can i throw more money at you
i'm tossing my wallet and debit card at the screen but nothing's happening
quiet rose
Just enjoy the game :)
hexed roost
just share the idea
the more people who appreciate bad hardware and crappy situations, the more developers that'll actually remember y'all
because all of us have been there
crimson folio
i'm going to share it everywhere
man you guys are hands down the greatest devs i think i've seen and i've been around many
hexed roost
;___;
crimson folio
i'm gonna finish gushing over episode 1 now~
is this a highschool graduate photo of one of the devs
'i have the feeling
mild ginkgo
press E on everything
crimson folio
will do~
mild ginkgo
also we just discovered a bug thanks to you
somewhere along the line low spec mode wasnt working quite as intended. it brokededed
we'll include the fix in the next patch
prisma kestrel
dammit every time i get to that picture i have to check behind me to see if Dave will materialize out of thin air like he did when I was playing it in the BYOC
mild ginkgo
lolol
prisma kestrel
[this actually happened; it was the best possible timing]
mild ginkgo
lol
crimson folio
when duskworld mp comes out i'm going to become a shut in
this and the momentum mod will be my new addictions when they release
thorn trout
@crimson folio out of curiosity, does low spec mode seem to give you better fps?
crimson folio
it does for sure, but by a relatively marginal amount
if low spec mode in it's current state was turned into more of a toaster mode it'd really kick up the fps
mainly with particle effects, everything else shouldn't be too much of an issue
@thorn trout
thorn trout
well we discovered it's not doing exactly what it's supposed to so there will be a patch soon that fixes that, which will hopefully help somewhat.
crimson folio
i'm positive it will~
thorn trout
does the framerate tend to dip when you're firing or in specific areas of a map?
crimson folio
not when i'm firing, that's fine, just when it's an open area with lots of lighting and when i'm indoors in a house and there's a bunch of smog effects
lamp lights (idk if they're using vertex lighting) are a ok where as some candles that give off a red light in caves can affect it worse
thorn trout
almost all the lights in Dusk are baked so they should have 0 effect on the framerate
crimson folio
in that case it could be the effects inside the caves and indoor areas then
thorn trout
environmental smoke should be disabled in low spec mode. Are you seeing it anyway?
thorn trout
let me do some tests first
crimson folio
me rn
some of them are disabled and some are still lingering
come to think of it
a lot of smoke comes from bullet impacts so firing repeatedly can lower fps
when i booted the game, i had low spec mode enabled but with the particle effects still showing
when i re enabled it they disabled the effects
crimson folio
thanks man!
thorn trout
np
crimson folio
and firing turned out to pretty gnarly, i thought it wasn't an issue
i shot at an enemy with the assault rifle and circle strafed him closely and it tanked my fps
and if i go close to a wall where lots of impacts just were the smoke will smother fps
thorn trout
yeah those effects should also be turning off in low spec mode. Pastch will fix that soon
mild ginkgo
now find all the secrets
and the super secrets
we're gonna have your framerate fixed right up too
so hopefully youll be able to enjoy yourself more
crimson folio
praise dusk
exotic ibex
praise be to de_dusk
jaunty meteor
Speaking of "super secrets", how many of those are there?
I know about the hallowed health in E1M2 and the soap in E1M10, are there more?
crimson folio
The hell even is a super secret? Didn't notice any differences from regular secrets.
jaunty meteor
Yeah, some older games like Blood had secrets which were so well hidden that the developers didn't make them count towards the secret tally since it'd be unfair for people trying to get 100%
Dusk has the same dealie for some secrets
foggy wadi

I have two questions about this drawing
First of all why does duskdude look like a thiccer version of caleb
And will he be a character in DW
fossil oriole
I dig his hat
jaunty meteor
Duskdude is a treasure hunter, I think the indiana hat is fitting considering
Though it does have caleb vibes
opal plover
But most importantly HE THICC
elder glade
inb4 he thicc memes

As I’ve seen before there is no actual depiction of the duskdude but a pill
opal plover
Guys I'm creating a wiki page for the scarecrows, should I refer to them as possessed scarecrows or something else?
vague egret
scary strawboys with shooty sticks
jaunty meteor
All the enemies have proper names, not sure what the scarecrow's was
opal plover
Lain please
I already made pages for the leathernecks, black phillips, mages and fork maidens
mild ginkgo
its just scarecrow
opal plover
Thank you mister
mild ginkgo
at least, internally
its a fan wiki
so you are free to call it whatever
we made that wiki for you guys to fill out
summer otter
I vote for calling him Jefff
rotund glen
Alley gator, I love it
opal plover
I'lltakeyourkeysyou'redrunkgator
mild ginkgo
the sword is called Daikatana
opal plover
LOvely
rotund glen
Heh nice
summer otter
the aforementioned internal names forever heretofore become external
summer otter
mild ginkgo
blameitonthealcohol
opal plover
Are the experiments called "friendship"
opal plover
I saw it in a Zombie vid
mild ginkgo
well zombie can also name stuff how he pleases, in fairness
hes writing the sdk so he gets to choose names that make sense
(to him)
they are horse and smolhorse
prisma halo
"Friendship" is the original name for the boss
It's what shows up on the health bar if you just spawn the boss regularly
The internal names have always been horse and smolhorse though
jaunty meteor
Can you place bosses in maps without their health bar appearing? If I wanted to have intoxigators be a normal enemy and have 3 of them in a map, for instance
mild ginkgo
yeah ofc, especially so with dawn
jaunty meteor
Woo!
opal plover
Guys I made a wiki page for each E1 enemy, do I get a cookie?
mild ginkgo
🍪
jaunty meteor
Now calculate their HP and damage values for every difficulty!
Also calculate their pain percentage, their speed (in map units per second), and how many of each appears in each map of Episode 1!
opal plover
It's gonna be a piece of cake when DAWN releases.
prisma halo
I have a lot more freedom to change how things work with Dawn, so I'll be making non-boss variants of each monster
They won't necessarily be used in Dusk itself, but they're handy for user maps
monster_intoxigator vs monster_intoxigator_boss, etc
jaunty meteor
That's super considerate, thanks a ton
opal plover
Will you be able to turn regual monsters into bosses?
Or more specifically groups of monsters
prisma halo
I don't see why not
I don't forsee such a feature being built-in at sdk launch, but it wouldn't be too difficult to make yourself
and it's possible for it to be added officially down the line

if you're not running consumer electronics through effects pedals through consumer electronics you're not living
novel pawn
Yeah I beat ep1 on duskmare about a month ago it just takes so save scumming.
Also I only have one legit complaint about dusk and it's the rats, I just hate them with all of my being
potent kestrel
fucking rats
novel pawn
I feel bad for saying this but I just think they're ugly and also on duskmare they will literally fuck your ass
mild chasm
junior bobcat
👌
mild chasm
Dave, is one of the E2 bosses going to be the giant rat that makes all the rules
crimson folio
I think having an enemy that you absolutely fucking hate is a great thing. Quake had Shamblers, Doom 2 had Pain Elementals, etc. That feeling of "On not these fucking guys" makes it sweeter to blow them away.
Maybe the ooze is a better parallel in Quake than Shamblers, but you get my meaning.
mild chasm
Archviles were that enemy for Doom, not Pain Elementals
Pain Elementals were just slightly annoying
Archviles and Revanents are more along the lines of being properly dreaded
Because they're so stupid
crimson folio
Alright fair enough. Either way, I like how much I hate the rats in Dusk.
novel pawn
I guess that's a good point, but I love shamblers they always give me a run for my money on nightmare when they all team up on me haha. I hate the blobs that explode on me way way more
crimson folio
I cannot fucking stand the slime hoppy fucking things in Quake.
novel pawn
@crimson folio same
crimson folio
If any enemy ruins my nightmare speedruns, it's those fuckers.
novel pawn
They travel at breakneck speeds and will do 100 health in a split second
crimson folio
I love how they're intentionally designed to get all in your shit and so that they can ALSO be used as a bomb against enemies but they are like playing hot potato with a live grenade.
novel pawn
Sometimes I just run haha, shooting them will cause death 50 percent of the time
novel pawn
Also fuck vores
crimson folio
Not worth in nightmare any% anyways. I've never done 100% runs of the game.
I love vores personally
novel pawn
Me too not as much as shamblers tho
crimson folio
Cannon fodder's all fun but a target that actually gives you gunfights is lovely
it's why i prefer quake's ttk vs doom's
quake has much more emphasis on gunfights and targeting certain enemies
novel pawn
I wish quakes enemies were a little less spongy but they're way more fun than dooms roster
crimson folio
agreed
prisma ivy
Sup
crimson folio
are there going to be lots of new enemy varieties after ep1?
prisma ivy
Yes, each episode has new enemies.
crimson folio
wooooot
mild chasm
A lot of new enemies
crimson folio
noice
mild chasm
If you watched the EP2 preview you would have already known that though
novel pawn
Can I just point out how hard Old Religion is on duskmare because of the room full of rats
I save scummed so hard
prisma ivy
Yeah rats go from minor annoyance to most deadly enemy in duskmare lol
novel pawn
Rats > Failed Experiment
mild chasm
That room is actually rather easy if you take the first gas can with you down the hole
You throw that at the first couple and then before you step onto the AR which is the trigger point for the rest of them, you grab the gas can out of one of the crypt holes
I think there's a third one in there you can use if a few too many survive as well
Nice one shillbot
novel pawn
I have to go play Dusk again, it's been about a month since I beat it on duskmare
crimson folio
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
thorn trout
@mild chasm there's also a flame barrel in the room right before the rats, so you can set them all on fire if you want
frozen heart
I've only made the mistake of using the fire barrel once
frozen heart
I usually just leave that bottom plank on the door there so they can't get through
Then I used the barrel and the fire broke it
Now I just have rats on fire
Help
frozen heart
It's like trying to use fire to kill zombies. Now the zombies are just on fire
mild chasm
Depending the type of zombie that's either effective or just going to lead to you being on fire too

@mild ginkgo if dpma isn't a meme
how would you do air control
keep it the same? reduce it to allow bhops
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ?
mild ginkgo
so would i
misty spindle
Where can I report bugs from Episode I ?
crimson folio
yes
misty spindle
Steam forums ?
mild ginkgo
yeah
either one will get seen
im here to help right now if youve got one to report
misty spindle
So as I'm french, I'm using a french keyboard so my computer is set to french keyboard basically.
But when I want to grow up or reduce Dusk display with "=" or ")" it only works with "=" key, and my HUD just vanished and I can't get it back with ")" key.
Thing is : it works perfectly well when I set my system keyboard to "ENG".
I think people arleady complain about the time it takes to Quick Save/Quick Load in the game, but I also found it too slow and it sort of breaks the game fluidity.
mild ginkgo
are you playing a very old build of dusk? that save thing was fixed ages ago
its easily under half a second now
but yeah, thats a good point about the hud scaling
if you need to retriieve your ui, theres a parameter in dusk.ini called uitoggle you can use as a temporary fix
ill make sure we investigate the issue your french keyboard issue
the default bound keys for the UI are + and - btw, im not sure why itd be different on the french keyboard, but im certainly gonna find out!
misty spindle
I meant that I can get it back by seting the system keyboard to "ENG" by pressing Alt + Windows key, I can then use ")" or "°" (same) key and get the HUD back and make the screen game tiny.
= is also + are on the same key.
mild ginkgo
well im not well versed with the french layout quite yet, but i will be by the end of this :P
as for the save/load thing
which part is taking too long? saving or loading?
the saving this SHOULD be incredibly fast
misty spindle
I just played Doom, Quake, and old school shoot, where it's instant. But it just that I press Quick Save and I feel like that everything is stucked (not the game) for half a second or so and it breaks the overall fluidity of the game, and makes me avoid Quick Saving.
mild ginkgo
it should be well under half a second, maybe .25 seconds
misty spindle
And it's not a "bug" thing, but you can't spam quick load button, you have to wait a little before quick loading again.
mild ginkgo
yeah that was intentional
to prevent exploiting
iirc
i could be wrong
@thorn trout ?
anyways if the game isnt saving roughly this fast
let me know
hopefully david will let us know about the quickloading thing
and ill look into the keybindings issue
misty spindle
It saves fast but when you do you are stuck for a little amount of time and I believe it kinda breaks the fluidity of the game. Certainly to fix the teleport by saving bug. ^^
And I found the game way too easy in Cero Miedo! :D
thorn trout
yeah there are a lot of little things implemented with saving/loading to prevent issues
thorn trout
lol
misty spindle
We are not worthy of you !
I mean if you have full ammo for the Riveter and Mortar you can beat the final level in last than 1:27 minutes... anyway mods will fix those problems :D
exotic ibex
you can beat it in less than :20
misty spindle
Yes but if you kill the bosses it takes less than a minute...
I just wished Episode 1 was way harder
verbal solar
love this view
mild ginkgo
david is awesome
verbal solar
such a beautiful looking game. spot on david
thorn trout
if you need a challenge for now, don't forget about Duskmare and Intruder mode
verbal solar
i actually discovered this secret in reverse btw
thorn trout
oh lol
verbal solar
i went out of bounds and then came into the level
at least now i know where it is for next time
verbal solar
what is that?
crimson folio
you could quicksave to cancel out gravity and vertical momentum
bronze nacelle
what's that?
crimson folio
and fly all over the place
verbal solar
sounds cool
verbal solar
even errors that are funny to the gamer can be annoying to a programmers perspective though
probs why the patched it out
thorn trout
most of the fun glitches in Dusk were left in, but that one was just too damaging to speedruns
turned them into just "mash quicksave"
verbal solar
yeah fair do0s
misty spindle
Yes but Saving still breaks fluidity
verbal solar
why fuck speedruns. speedruns are amazing and dusk is the perfect game for it
verbal solar
cause of the games amazing movement
crimson folio
@verbal solar that's why it was so fun
verbal solar
the cross bow is like the best tool for glitching imo
use it to bounce around out of bounds
crimson folio
haha rip scarecrow glitch
thin sphinx
savefiles are in the descreption FYI
verbal solar
i was playing dead of the night a few days ago and whilst glitching around i found an unused room with some enemies in it. there were little measurements on the walls.
thin sphinx
yep
crimson folio
ohh yeah that's why there's so many empty rooms outside the map
and ones you can also teleport into as traps
neato
verbal solar
i never knew they were actually in the level the whole time
thin sphinx
i think HL1 stopped doing that though and used a sepcific entity to make the xen portal effects
verbal solar
that is so cool
thin sphinx
it did?
crimson folio
trust me, i have played a lot of hl1
thin sphinx
must be thinking of black mesa since i have more experiance with black mesa
thin sphinx
ive got 800 hours in HL1 alone
crimson folio
wew boy
thin sphinx
rough estimate though since stea m doesnt track HL1 mods as half lfie hours
or sven coop
ive got almost a 100hrs in just sven coops steam release
crimson folio
fuck i love Sven coop
mild ginkgo
that game is 💩
thin sphinx
sven coop 5.0 i used to run a server for
had a great time with people there
half the server fell out the tram and i had to enable players clipping with each other so we could get to the next map
west bolt
I got a new setup for dusk 😃

please share
west bolt
are you sure?

i find my self enthralled

I will defenetly win all championships with it
so idk if I want to share it

I'm playing quakes mission paks and I'm really starting to hope that Dusk has an enemy similar to the shambler

That's probably the Wendigo

and yes dusk is fine
plz no worry

That would be lit

Sawdust has that giant pit full of monsters too

Yeah that pit was hectic but I mean like unrelenting amounts, every once in a while I enjoy a slaughter map although these monsters are a lot stronger than say dooms are
crimson folio
I love the monster pit
mild chasm
I don't like slaughter maps even with OP gameplay mods
novel pawn
I don't want overkill
Just for one secret map I think slaughter is okay
But more than that and it's repetitive and boring
mild chasm
It's like here's 50 spider masterminds carrying cyberdemons and 75 archviles in between them all and while we're at it here's a couple of chaingunners hidden away in killhole cupboards you can't hit without the BFG which we will never give you

On the topic of episode 2. Will there be more levels like E2M6?
mild chasm
I don't think it's all that reasonable to make me fight a room full of spider masterminds with naught but a pistol with no secret shotguns or anything hidden about
crimson folio
i don't think they're trying to make you fight in that case
mild chasm
That's right they're trying to make you die
crimson folio
¯_(ツ)_/¯
timid pumice
k
mild ginkgo
so whos excited for the patch?
timid pumice
What patch? I'm sorry I spent the last half an hour spamming jokes.
mild ginkgo
bugfixes and performance improvement
timid pumice
Cool.
mild chasm
Did you guys finally learn color theory
mild ginkgo
like @crimson folio
timid pumice
IK but at least it's still improving the game
novel pawn
@mild chasm it doesn't have to be like that. I don't wanna run around shooting away at 50 cyberdemons. Look up "Edge of oblivion" it's a quake map and it's loaded with lots of vores and shamblers. Basically you can go at it two ways: run and gun or very very carefully haha
crimson folio
^
timid pumice
so imma not download that but buy it from steam
novel pawn
There you go hahaha, I just finished Armagon now I'm on dissolution of eternity. It's the only thing holding me over until dusk comes out
timid pumice
I'm replaying Arcane DImensions right now.
novel pawn
I've been wanting to play that, is it good?
novel pawn
I feel like projectile instead of hitscan shotgun is gonna throw me off
timid pumice
It's not that much of a difference
Plus it makes the shotgun feel better to me
Wait that was a contradiction
novel pawn
A little bit lol. I'll definitely try it at some point
timid pumice
You really should.
Also, may someone change my name? Anything but inmate 6969 will do
mild ginkgo
there you go
mild ginkgo
you can change that yourself btw
timid pumice
o ok cool
crimson folio
the crime count increases
mild ginkgo
right click on your name
timid pumice
yes
timid pumice
indeed
timid pumice
My favourite also the sepulcher
crimson folio
so much ATMOSPHERE HNNNNNGGG
timid pumice
indeed
novel pawn
Quake honestly gives me jumpscares still
timid pumice
Quak is scary gam
stone thistle
anyone know if arcane dimensions does work in coop via LAN?
glossy gulch
pretty sure every quake mod works in LAN with the right engine

My wireless mouse just kicked the bucket, and all I wanted to do was play Dusk.
fair mirage
rip
modern trellis
I'll have to use a track pad...ewwww
I know it's a sin, but does Dusk have that controller support that was mentioned a while ago?
fair mirage
indeed it does
but you're stuck with the config it gives you unless you do joy2key or use the steam controller API config nonsense
modern trellis
Hmmm. Let me see if my roommate has an extra mouse first...haha.
modern trellis
Welp. Controller it is.
steel wind
There are worse fates.
strange blaze
jaunty meteor
???
steel wind
You mean the doom Minecraft? Yeah i saw that.
jaunty meteor
Why are you bringing this up in #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk though
modern trellis
So now my God damn cursor got frozen in the middle of my screen and I had like 2 steam pages pop up over Dusk. I had to just reset my computer twice. All I want to do is play this game for like 10 minutes.
jaunty meteor
Can Dusk do localized fog? Like making a large invisible brush and setting the area inside it to be foggy while keeping areas outside of the brush normal?
modern trellis
Unity has to do localized fog as a material.
mild ginkgo
you would have some sort of trigger to tell the global fog settings to apply when you enter the areas you want
modern trellis
Like a fog shader on a mesh.
jaunty meteor
Oh, that's even better actually; much cleaner than having the entire area be filled with a brush
modern trellis
Er well that's how my professor did it.
mild ginkgo
but it means you cant see the fog from outside the area
your professor made fog you could see externally
which is definitely very cool
but using the acutal fog system in unity, there is no real localized fog, so youd fake it by tweaking the fog settings
modern trellis
Can confirm.
mild ginkgo
theres a third option
if you know anything about setting up volumetrics
but uh
dont.
i guess 4th option is particle effect
so really theres a lot you could do
something like that
jaunty meteor
Hmmm, I'll probably end up going with a trigger since that seems to be the least headache-inducing
mild ginkgo
id probably do a combo of a fog trigger, and a particle system
that way you can subtly roll in the global fog but keep the fog visual externally
but yeah the fog trigger is more "authentic" to the period
a 90's era fps would never have a mesh, volumetric, or particle fog
too perfomance heavy
jaunty meteor
I'll probably end up experimenting with my options when I can, sounds like I'll be able to do whatever I want regarding fog though
Which is good! That's all I wanted to make sure of really :B
modern trellis
On another note. Windows 10 is garbage, and I still have yet to play Dusk 45 minutes later.
woeful sonnet
I have never had an issue with it.
Your not using the creator one or whatever it was are you?
hexed roost
Windows 10 is fiiiine
modern trellis
Finally got to play it with a controller. Not too shabby.
mighty dagger
Gj shillbot I love you
jaunty meteor
How were the rain effects in E1M2 done?
Was it a bunch of particle emitters that're only placed in outside areas?
jaunty meteor
I've shilled as much as I can for a game that's not out yet
crimson folio
a mod for dusk but as a 1:1 perfect quake clone
hexed roost
i am modding dusk into a gory first person hockey game sorry

exotic ibex
;_;
thorn trout
yeah sorry :(
unfortunately in the process of adding stuff to ep2 saves for ep1 tend to break
mild ginkgo
you could probably manually edit a save by hand to dupe scarecrows
if that feels better
blazing kettle

mild ginkgo

also fixed a bug with the music i believe
serene needle

thin sphinx

forest harbor

fair mirage

mild ginkgo

woeful sonnet
No it was still in there for me
Played it a day or two ago and the episode 3 keys were still in episode 1.
burnt meadow
:(
prisma ivy
Oops
burnt meadow
thats throwing my bindings in the bin
frozen heart
But how do I abh
burnt meadow
would really appreciate it in the future. Its a bummer that i can't control the bindings 100%
burnt meadow
me, and i think a lot of seasoned afps players bind every weapon to a single key
for me mwheel down / up are usually just 2 diff weapons
instead of scrolling through all of them
mild ginkgo
well at least you're using it in a way thats not lame
burnt meadow
i am guessing you mean the bind jump to mwheel? :D
exotic ibex
lmao yeah
burnt meadow
yeah, never understood that
exotic ibex
bind that shit to M2
prisma ivy
Off a cliff?
exotic ibex
lol
burnt meadow
yeah, its just...taking a risk every jump
prisma ivy
m2 is move forward not jump :)
prisma ivy
.ban @prisma ivy
hollow ivyBOT
exotic ibex
fug
prisma ivy
There is no escape
mild ginkgo
but yeah @burnt meadow we'll see what we can do about it
burnt meadow
thanks :)
mild ginkgo
oh yeah niko we pushed the fixes to low spec mode
exotic ibex
emphasis on the fire in the background
mild ginkgo
so try it out when youve got time
crimson folio
does anybody else get the feeling of everybody ganging up on you in an FFA mode in any fps?
wooooo~
mild ginkgo
yes, constantly
im am always bitching about people not shooting eachother and instead shooting me
exotic ibex
thats how ffa goes
crimson folio
except for quake imo
you move too fast for it to be reliable
like OLD quake or cpma
q3 you can get chased
mild ginkgo
lets be real you can get chased in any afps as long as your opponent is good
crimson folio
SAME
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
**( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) **
no matter what i play or what place i come in im always the saltiest person in the lobby
same
quake champions is the saltiest i've ever been
worse than csgo
and that game is bullshit
mild ginkgo
well thats dumb, dont get mad at csgo lol
taking that game seriously is a good joke
for me it was a learned behavior after like 12 years of dota
loss should be met with ANGERY
crimson folio
is this loss??
mild ginkgo
one more and im filtering that phrase
crimson folio
sorry lol
crimson folio
yeah
one of my fondest memories is me and koopy fucking with /v/
with loss
most modern shooters are a joke to be fair
only decent one i've played so far is overwatch and i love it
oh
oh no
and i play it console
how does that make you feel
ok lets just move this to #bnnuy-and-the-jits
