dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk

[graceful wing]

a while

it was outsourced to a professional localization company

[mellow slate]

shoulda just ask me

im Chinese

would probably do it better and at a cheaper rate

[slow harness]

no but like

not the translations themselves

but taking all those translations and putting them in dusk?

[graceful wing]

copy paste

not too long

also we wanted to make sure these texts were done well since china's a huge market

[prisma halo]

it was a tedious process to get the game set up to actually accept all the new text, but it only needed to be done once and all future translations will benefit from it

[slow harness]

so it's just copypasted? niice

waiting for my work to contribute

[mellow slate]

@graceful wing forreal if y'all ever need Simplified Chinese localization hmu

I've been professionally trained in translation/interpretation (almost managed to get certified for US civil court interpreter)

[slow harness]

they've already done it

might as well wait for amid evil

[mellow slate]

and my main gig is in AAA game outsourcing

[prisma halo]

yeah Chinese is all covered now

[slow harness]

there's loads of stuff to localize

[mellow slate]

so all brushed up on the lingo

[graceful wing]

we'll definitely keep that in mind for the future

[mellow slate]

[graceful wing]

the outsourcing was actually done quite a while back

[jagged ferry]

why is dusk downloading a 62mb thing on steam 🤔

[mellow slate]

ofc, im just saying in case of Amid Evil etc needs that in the future

[graceful wing]

rather likely will

[strong tendon]

holy shit is those 62mb are actually dawn!?!??!?!?!

[slow harness]

no

chinese localization

[strong tendon]

ahh shame

[violet sand]

trololololo

[crimson folio]

thanks shillman

[crimson folio]

make your nuts wads dreams come true
I already know what I'm gonna make and no one's gonna play it lmao

Yo for when the modders are gonna be doing dawn mods i want to tell you all that

I have an idea for a weapon mod

essentially it's slingshot, but it throws soap

and can only hold one shot

Sounds like a promising golden gun game variant to me

[royal herald]

There are already soap cannons

[crimson folio]

i don't count duskguy as soap canon

[slow harness]

everyone before had an idea like that

sorry to dissapoint

[crimson folio]

oh

same idea of ammo?

[slow harness]

same idea of a gun

"shoots soap"

[peak bough]

Just got the 1.4 update and mouse aim is totally broken for me... anyone else seeing this?

[crimson folio]

OH FUCK dibs on the Die Hard mod for Dusk

I got that shit

[vast tangle]

I've been playing Dusk quite a bit this week and I haven't noticed anything weird with the mouse aim

[crimson folio]

Same my aim is fine

[violet sand]

Same

[peak bough]

Weird, my aim literally just scrolls up-left diagonally on it's own, even after verifying game files and a full reinstall

Can't aim at all, literally unplayable

It was fine before today's update though

[vague egret]

got a game pad plugged in?

[crimson folio]

I just got a small update in Dusk.

Any idea what it is?

[vague egret]

localization stuff

[crimson folio]

Dusk is now tf2

[vague egret]

not a content update

[vale oar]

Cancelled

[strong tendon]

Dusk is now tf2
DUSK changelog be like :
-Updated Localization files

-Removed rats

[crimson folio]

-removed wendigos
Too confusing for new players

[strong tendon]

-Added new medals

[sleek cape]

I just bought my copy of DUSK. I have no Idea what took me this long. The game's amazing. Every bit as good as the 90's classics that it's inspired by.

Dare I say a little better?

[strong tendon]

Wait, what?

How did you buy Dusk?

I thought it was cancelled

Did you steal a copy from David Szymanski or something?

[sleek cape]

Steam summer sale, behbeh 😎

[strong tendon]

holy shit summer sale leaks games

[sleek cape]

I paid $15 for it. Non-sale price is $20.

@strong tendon I got in this server when Balloon Moose Games sort-of migrated over, after the announcement that New Blood had scooped up Maximum Action, so I'm pretty new.

[strong tendon]

Makes sense

[sleek cape]

I can't think of any better dudes to help that game realize its full potential.

I bought on really early with MA, back when it was still mostly just one guy making it, and it was in need of a good publisher to get it off the ground. Now it has that.

[muted jolt]

nice you enyoided Dusk!

now is one of us

[ionic wigeon]

But is he Worthy

[muted jolt]

[vast tangle]

Well, it's always been mostly just one guy making it

[ionic wigeon]

David an inspiration to us all making a game by himself tbh

Virgin Exorcist priests: say prayers at demonic things and hope it goes away
Chad Dusk Dude:

[crimson folio]

Do weapons not disappear if you pick them up and already have full ammo for them?

Just picked up the ssg on e1m1 and it's still there

[ionic wigeon]

Imagine being in Dusk and walking into this scene, ||But all of the things in the circle are the Horrors||

https://youtu.be/Og1TxhAxuLs

[sand ferry]

what the new dusk update adds?

[crimson folio]

chinese localisation

[sand ferry]

can't wait for sdk to come out

hdusk can't come faster

[lusty fable]

Hupdusk

[sand ferry]

every sound effect is replaced with hup

[jolly hatch]

so, what's the Update for? just bug fixes?

[vague egret]

localization

[peak bough]

@Lain I had a USB cable for a gamepad plugged in, but no gamepad on the end... However, after a restart it's all good

False alarm, thank goodness

[vague egret]

[vague tree]

But only in... Chinese?

Where is my ESPAÑOL?

[crimson folio]

just found out about the soap bars lmao

[balmy sluice]

2 stronk

[olive cloud]

@crimson folio excuse me what?

[royal herald]

Why do updates to DUSK always reset the config

[crimson folio]

he doesn't know about the soap bars

[royal herald]

He defenitley does know what the soap is.

[reef pecan]

just got a notification from steam

but i cant find the announcement

[crimson folio]

I clicked on it and I got here https://steamcommunity.com/games/519860#announcements/detail/1607138209250549530

Dusk has avatars apparently

dont know if that got added now tho lmao

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/2d/2dc1e8fe45f59c25d9eb260909c0438a0e0b88a8_full.jpg

what is this

[slow harness]

Thicc spiky booty

[reef pecan]

maybe they liked fucked up the formatting or something and the announcement was busted so theyre fixing it real quick and then re-releasing the announcement

but

idk if thats how that works

[fair mirage]

an old prealpha enemy

meatlass

[crimson folio]

more like

meat ass

[fair mirage]

[dapper spire]

mmmmm

meat ass

[olive cloud]

@crimson folio excuse me cAsUaL. I do know about the soap bars. Im not one of your kind. Im very educated when it comes to playing Dusk. Im probably the best player in the entire world and would eZ destroy you in a Duskworld 1v1. You probably don‘t even know that soap doesn‘t instakill in duskworld. #Newbloodplsfix.

[prisma halo]

[dapper spire]

[balmy sluice]

[crimson folio]

[olive cloud]

[crimson folio]

imagine needing soap in duskworld lol

[olive cloud]

It‘s on some maps but it doesn‘t instakill

Would be fun if it would tho

[crimson folio]

Props dont sync in dw

[reef pecan]

i'd like to chime in again with a theory that an enemy that's based on the flashlight mechanic would be cool

there's a few ways u could implement it

[brave egret]

flashlight wendigo

[dapper spire]

yeah basically

[reef pecan]

but maybe like an enemy that was like a wendigo would only move if your flashlight was on it would be cool

and if ur flashlight was off it wouldnt do anything

like if ur in a dark room with like 3 hp

you press F and theres like 3 flashlight wendigos running at u

"oh shit"

[brave egret]

Mod it in with DAWN bro

[dapper spire]

imagine them when you have your flashlight broken

[reef pecan]

well yeah

then you find a flashlight

like "finally i can see now"

you press F and then

"oh shit"

if it was implemented correctly it could be rlly cool for the horror atmosphere

[dapper spire]

dusk is basically a horror game

[reef pecan]

like if the player comes to know what might happen if they turned on their flashlight they might be hesitant to turn on their flashlight if it was too dark

[dapper spire]

but with guns and badass-ness

[reef pecan]

e2m2 and e3m4 are fantastic levels

[dapper spire]

agreed

[reef pecan]

honestly

i think that the most boring level is like

the erebus reactor

because the exploration and atmosphere of dusk is so well executed sometimes

that even in a movement based shooter

a level that is entirely movement and shooting a million things comes second to like the actual exploration levels

e3m9 i think is an exception though, because it's a really cool level atmospherically and in context

the whole trial to prove you're worthy thing is pretty badass

[slow harness]

Now to the real shit

Guys pls make Ukrainian and Russian translations next pls

I'm desperate

[simple pilot]

yes

shit ukrainian and russian translations

[slow harness]

Shut up pole

You could've done the translation too

[simple pilot]

anyone could done the translation

[slow harness]

And you couldn't do it lmao

[simple pilot]

no need for n'th translation

[slow harness]

There is need

Ecks dee

[simple pilot]

no need 4 u

[slow harness]

no u

[reef pecan]

Btw I like how the pre pre pre pre pre pre etc alpha is so similar to the final product of the game

All of the models are basically the same

movement is basically the same

you can do the gun flip things and all of the animations for that are exactly the same

a lot of the enemies have the same health and mechanics as in the final product

etc etc

[simple pilot]

well there was like one more soldier type enemy

[reef pecan]

its really obvious that the dusk devs had a very clear vision for what dusk was supposed to be

[simple pilot]

devs

is that body shaming ?

[reef pecan]

did the e3 2016 demo come before the pre pre pre etc alpha?

because it feels like it does

even then

the two alphas are remarkably similar to the final product

it definitely does

[mild ginkgo]

@royal herald updates to dusk do not always reset the config

only ones that contain changes to the config file

[reef pecan]

i think "pre pre pre pre pre pre etc alpha" is a bit of an overstatement though, since so much of the stuff in the "pre pre pre pre pre pre etc alpha" appears in the final game untouched

[mild ginkgo]

in this case, we added a config variable for language, and subtitle

[reef pecan]

it would be a late beta if anything not an alpha from the dinosaur times

maybe not late

[mild ginkgo]

so configs needed to be reset

[reef pecan]

lol

@mild ginkgo If I backed up my config folder can I just copy + paste most of it and everything will still work

[mild ginkgo]

no

but you CAN paste it and then edit it

[reef pecan]

"most of it"

[mild ginkgo]

your config requires the two new entries

otherwise the game will break

[reef pecan]

are they at the end of the config file?

or like

in the middle

[mild ginkgo]

yes

you can add them manually

[reef pecan]

alright so i can just copy and paste most of it then

[mild ginkgo]

the order doesnt matter

[reef pecan]

that might be a psa you want to make

[mild ginkgo]

nah

that encourages people to fuck up their configs

anyways the two new entries you need are

language = -1

; subtitles
subtitles = 0```

[reef pecan]

well as for me i am super bitchy about my sensitivity and if it is not the exact decimal number i need it at to be able to play the game i get anger

[mild ginkgo]

yeah so go put your sens to the number you need

but if you just copy and paste your config and dont add the two lines, your game will break

[fair mirage]

i do the same, it's not that big a deal :p

[crimson folio]

@thorn trout or whoever works around with translations here id like to say that you did good job on the translation but ' ' arent used in chinese, only 『 』 are used. for example:『杀死入侵者』 instead of '杀死入侵者'

[reef pecan]

my mouse sensitivity is 0.06914286

according to a mouse sensitivity calculator

[mild ginkgo]

i see

[reef pecan]

that doesnt sound right

[mild ginkgo]

very cool

[reef pecan]

but i guess it is

thats just how it be sometimes

sometimes ur sens is just under 0.10 and thats just how it do

[mild ginkgo]

thank you @crimson folio ! we appreciate the feedback.

hard for us to pick up on things like that, as we dont read chinese :P

[crimson folio]

also when youre also going to translate it into russian dont use ' ' as its not used. use « »

[reef pecan]

yo what are the mouse buttons

[mild ginkgo]

for the record i think that you might be incorrect about the chinese quotes

In Simplified Chinese, the European-style quotation marks are always used in horizontal text. Here, single quotation marks are used when embedded within double quotation marks: “…‘…’…”.

[reef pecan]

left click = mouse0
right click = mouse1
middle mouse = mouse2
forward button = mouse3
back button = mouse4

right?

[mild ginkgo]

believe thats right

[reef pecan]

guess i'll just find out

[mild ginkgo]

you can just bind it in menu

however for russian, yeah i believe we used those ones

[crimson folio]

https://gyazo.com/6e1518dccec4ed8045d232b0f798d0cc
『 』 for languages written with hieroglyphs or symbols whatever theyre called in english

[mild ginkgo]

yes, but thats japanese

simplified chinese uses euro quotes

because its a language born of necessity

[crimson folio]

its user for all languages written in hieroglyphs

[mild ginkgo]

in specific instances yes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_punctuation#Other_punctuation

if you look here under quotation marks, youll see simplified chinese does not use that

[reef pecan]

Oh

I see that some changes were made to a few of the levels

Are there patch notes?

[mild ginkgo]

no changes were made to levels

well one level

e3m8

[crimson folio]

on endless the farm spawns were changed

[reef pecan]

e3m4, there's a large health pack at the start

[mild ginkgo]

enemies can land in the attic now

[reef pecan]

I swear on GOD there wasnt a health pack there in the last version

[mild ginkgo]

there were no changes made to levels other than e3m8

[reef pecan]

oh

i guess there was a health pack there all along

[mild ginkgo]

im not sure, id have to check an old version

[reef pecan]

no there was

this is an old video

[mild ginkgo]

oh fair

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[reef pecan]

but i play on duskmare as my go to difficulty now

so i never pick it up

i guess my brain just ignores it

e3m8 is the like

flashback level right

[crimson folio]

@mild ginkgo https://freehkfonts.opensource.hk/2017/01/16/個『告』字，上帝叫我穿頭/
this article is written in simplified chinese and it uses『』. but anyway i dont think its that important tho

btw when translating to russian please use « » as im romanian and id like to play the game in one of my primary languages

[reef pecan]

I've gotta just be imagining shit right

The title screen looks different

[brave egret]

New update? Are there patch notes?

[reef pecan]

Are the sickles reversed?

And is the font different in some instances?

[mild ginkgo]

yes we will use « »

[crimson folio]

@mild ginkgo also the game isnt fully translated for chinese. sentences such as MIGHTY SICKLES ACTIVATED still appear in english

[royal herald]

@mild ginkgo then why does my config reset everytime I verify cache or update the game

[mild ginkgo]

yes, because that is a reference to duke nukem

not all lines are 1:1 translated

only updates that contain config changes will reset your config

most of the updates we've been doing, contain config changes

verifying will reset it too

[reef pecan]

The obvious solution is to find what the Duke Nukem translation is in Chinese and copy and paste the Duke Nukem reference

[mild ginkgo]

lol

[slow harness]

@mild ginkgo wait can I put the languages myself and then just send it to you?

[mild ginkgo]

you could probably do that, yes, if the language doesnt use any super special characters

[crimson folio]

i believe in duke nukem was the mighty foot

[slow harness]

then how?

[mild ginkgo]

there is a localization file in the games directory

its pretty self explanatory in there

you would replace the english entries with your own

[slow harness]

also, are "ы, ё. ї" special characters?

[mild ginkgo]

they are fairly special, you would just have to try and see if it works

[slow harness]

bruh

k

do i send it to dave or you

[mild ginkgo]

anyone

see you can edit the text there

[slow harness]

always in quotes?

[mild ginkgo]

yes

[slow harness]

k

[crimson folio]

ohh wait so i can translate the game myself for personal use?

OK

nice

[mild ginkgo]

yes

but only if it uses supported characters

for some languages we need to add fonts that support the characters

[crimson folio]

șțăîâ

can i use these?

[mild ginkgo]

you will have to try yourself, we havent tested

we will add more official localizations soon, but that will just take some small amount of time

so if the font does not support your language yet, it will in the future

[slow harness]

ok guys don't put the localization in the language_ file

i'll do it myself

like a good boye

[crimson folio]

So can you just add a new language in the Language_Default.txt file and test it out right now?

[mild ginkgo]

not add

but you can edit existing ones

specifically i would use english

because chinese sets all the fonts in the game to use a chinese font

that will not contain the glyphs you need

[reef pecan]

"but you can edit existing ones"

you have given me too much power

[mild ginkgo]

yes, we have

you could make every string in the game read "bruh" if you wanted

[reef pecan]

i will write penis all over dusk's text files

and laugh

[simple pilot]

memes

[reef pecan]

oh cool

we can read everything

[reef pecan]

BRUSK

[crimson folio]

MENU_THE_GOGATORIUM = "THE GOGATORIUM";

what's this

wheres that?

[slow harness]

you got nae nae'd

there's none

[reef pecan]

@crimson folio That sounds like the GOG-exclusive content

like you click that and it lets you see the exclusive gog stuff

[crimson folio]

oh yeah

tru

its below the other endless maps aswell

[reef pecan]

@mild ginkgo Do you just edit Language_Default to add your own subtitles?

[crimson folio]

Yeah

[simple pilot]

thats text for gog release endless map

[reef pecan]

also im just now realizing how funny replacing all the text with "bruh" is

[crimson folio]

Bruh moment

[reef pecan]

kills the intoxigator
||jakob||: bruh

[simple pilot]

however it wont be necessary to buy dusk twice to try it out

[reef pecan]

fall breaks flashlight
duskdude: bruh

cooks viscera
bruh

tries to open door that opens elsewhere
"BRUH"

[crimson folio]

Dusk still isn't out on gog

tbh I just want the new level

[simple pilot]

make your own when dawn comes out

[reef pecan]

cooks viscera
"bruh"
viscera becomes edible
"bruh"
eats viscera
"bruh"

[olive cloud]

Lol

[crimson folio]

It's sad that every line DUSK could be replaced with 'bruh' and still be 100% fitting.

[woeful sonnet]

dusk updated

[olive cloud]

slice

bruh

[thorn trout]

https://twitter.com/DUSKdev/status/1145043541741178880

DUSK IS ON SALE (@DUSKdev)

#screenshotsaturday seems like a good time to remind everyone that Dusk is currently 25% off as part of the @steam_games summer sale--the lowest it's ever been!

We also just released Chinese localization!

https://t.co/jDayorjwGv

[olive cloud]

Farm level bruh

Sadly ion maiden doesn‘t have a reduced price for the steam summer sale.

[violet sand]

^

still bought it lol

[olive cloud]

I have it in there for the steam wishlist thing where you maybe get one of your top 3 games for free

[lusty fable]

Wait what

[olive cloud]

The race thingie

[lusty fable]

Explain

[olive cloud]

1.Ion maiden 2.Doom eternal 3.idk

[lusty fable]

I knew about it but not the free games

[olive cloud]

You have a chance of getting one of the top three for free i think

Idk maybe it‘s just price reduction

[lusty fable]

Does it count unreleased games

[crimson folio]

How is a man supposed to translate Head Cheese

[untold vale]

So glad I bought DUSK 'round this time.

[mild ginkgo]

we're glad to have you

[olive cloud]

@lusty fable idk but the „add 3 games to the wishlist“ thing counted doom eternal

@crimson folio KOPF KÄSE

[untold vale]

Honestly, getting DUSK now is really just making me yearn for the Switch port even more.

[crimson folio]

Huvud Ost

[olive cloud]

Eeeh @untold vale i mean dusks cool but playing it on switch would be weird. Would love to destroy console gamers on switch tho

[crimson folio]

Theres so many references in dusk that's gonna fuck me up

[olive cloud]

In dw

[untold vale]

It would be weird, no doubt, because it's an old school twitchy FPS.

But honestly, better that than lugging around a laptop, so, I'll take it.

[olive cloud]

And you‘d have controller aim shit

[untold vale]

The only saving grace would be gyro aiming.

Which, thankfully, they're locking that in.

Switch DUSKworld is going to be very weird, and I still haven't even played DW on PC.

[olive cloud]

Oh haha you‘re in for a ride

Just remember to hold w and d and spam jump

Trust me don‘t stop doing that

[untold vale]

Ah, the old diag jump.

Or, tricording, as they called it in the old days.

[olive cloud]

No it‘s strafejumping

[untold vale]

STRAFEJUMP.

[olive cloud]

And gaining SPEED

[untold vale]

THAT'S what it was, thank you.

Completely brainfarted that term.

[olive cloud]

Btw if you want to search for new players look at #lfg-signup

You want to play a few rounds tonight?

[untold vale]

Still kinda learning the ropes, and enjoying the singleplayer. I fear I'd get destroyed.

Still loving what I'm experiencing, though! The old Quake feel has been lost so long ago.

[olive cloud]

Yes

Am so hyped for Wrath:Aeon and prodeus

[untold vale]

YES.

Ironically enough, those are coming to Switch, too.

[olive cloud]

Omg

[untold vale]

That little thing is a classic FPS machine at this point.

[olive cloud]

This is probably the best time to be into oldschool shooters. A bunch of discords dedicated to oldschool afps. You can buy almost any of these games digitally. And a bunch of good remakes

[smoky sigil]

How far in are you?

[untold vale]

In DUSK? Not far, I just started.

[smoky sigil]

Ah, okay

[untold vale]

I think I'm on E1M3.

[smoky sigil]

Just know that strafe-hopping is really useful

You go from 1 to 10 in like a second

[untold vale]

In Quake-likes, strafehops are mandatory.

[olive cloud]

@untold vale i would ignore this chat trust me there is somw crazy shit thats going to happen just don‘t look to far into e2 and e3 outside of dusk

[untold vale]

@olive cloud Really, I'm prepared for some crazy shit. I'm just happy we have an old school flavor to appreciate again.

[olive cloud]

Yes i think dusk kinda made that a bit more popular. More people should know about dw it‘s so crazy fast and everybody should at least here of it. It‘s very fast but it still works

[untold vale]

The last fast recent FPS I played on the regular was ROTT '13.

Saturday Night ROTTs were my jam.

[mild ginkgo]

lol

thats funny

so you found us again

[olive cloud]

Ooh

[untold vale]

Some former ROTT folk are in here?

[olive cloud]

starts dancing

[mild ginkgo]

same people who made dusk made rott

and most of the community is here as well

see Lain up there on the user list?

same Lain that ran SNR

[untold vale]

Dude!

It's like I just stumbled upon a school reunion!

[visual aurora]

Ayyy we got ROTT folk?

[mild ginkgo]

quite literally yes

[vague egret]

[untold vale]

I was one of the old SNR guys back in the day before I phased away from it!

I think I recall ol' Oshry took part in the SNRs, too!

[mild ginkgo]

yeah oshry is still here

[untold vale]

Good. That man is not allowed to leave.

I mean, not that he will. Dude's insane like almost everyone here.

[muted jolt]

so this it'smash but for dev

Everyone it's here

[untold vale]

Brilliant!

Like, I knew I recognized Oshry from back in the day, but when I saw he was advertising DUSK, honestly that was already a selling point for me.

Along with Andrew Hulshult providing music. Loved his music for ROTT.

I'd also get Amid Evil, but sadly, my rig is pretty ancient and way overdue for an upgrade, I can't run it without my rig running like a jet turbine from all that awesome.

At least it'll be on Switch.

[muted jolt]

what it's you rig?

[untold vale]

An old one with 4GB RAM, a GTX 560, still running Windows 7.

Bought second hand from someone I used to know.

[muted jolt]

welp. i got this

Dual Core 2.60@ // Nvidia GT 430
3 GB Ram Win 10

and played well on tweaked settings

it's pretty low end actualy this game

[dapper spire]

wait, Izzy, you knew Oshry and Lain before this?

[untold vale]

Not sure about Lain, but I knew Oshry. Didn't know him know him, but saw him during the SNRs.

[dapper spire]

ah

[untold vale]

It was a crazy family I loved peering into and getting some games in with.

Plus, the amount of ROTT levels for deathmatch was extraordinary, all things considered, so it always felt fresh.

I had a lot of fun, then.

[dapper spire]

sounds nice

[untold vale]

@muted jolt System reqs seem to say that I need a lot more RAM and a beefier card since it's UE4.

I mean, my rig can run Maximum Action, but it sounds like a turbine each time.

[unborn lance]

when you say "Dusk is on sale" does it mean that it's the same price it got for the sale or cheaper?

[untold vale]

It's $15.

Usually sells for $20.

[unborn lance]

I know, I bought it for $15, so I thought it might go cheaper with that announcement

[untold vale]

Sadly not any cheaper, since it's still a fairly new release.

[unborn lance]

Seems weird to announce a sale 5 days into a sale

[untold vale]

Probably moreso a reminder.

Gotta get new Intruders in here, you know?

[olive cloud]

Damn need to buy a copy for a non oldschool fps friend.

U guys think thats a good idea?

[untold vale]

I usually would start them out with the classics like Quake or Doom.
Maybe have him feel it out first, see if he grooves on it?

[crimson folio]

yes it is @olive cloud

Have him play DOOM

if he doesn't like that there's no hope

[olive cloud]

I think Dusk is easier to get into for newcomers because it has some of the modern luxurys that old shooters don‘t hade

habe*

[sly sphinx]

<habe

[rancid viper]

I say Quake 2 first, it's got more modern elements such as missions so it will be a bit easier to lean into, maybe

[olive cloud]

Bruder muss los

Yea...

But i lik doosk

[rancid viper]

Dusk is life

[untold vale]

DUSK is really good, but it definitely assumes you've played Quake before.

[olive cloud]

And i can destroy him in dw

[crimson folio]

I mean that's a fair point, have him play Dusk and then go "yo wanna see the titans?"

then give him Doom and Quake and shit

[olive cloud]

No. Dusks my first oldschool fps and then i started playing quake

And blood

[slow harness]

blood is cool

so is quake

[untold vale]

Man, BLOOD. THAT is a game no one talks about.

[olive cloud]

SEAL

[slow harness]

huh

hup*

[sly sphinx]

Oh come on

Dynamite works for everything

[untold vale]

"Son of a bitch must pay!"

[slow harness]

fortnite is better though

[untold vale]

@slow harness I'mma stop you there, boyo.

[olive cloud]

It‘s just so fun to play when some friends roll around line „wanna watch me toss some stix of dynamite in a crowd of Zombies and watch them explode“

[slow harness]

@untold vale no i'm going to stop you, "boyo"

[crimson folio]

how long until gmod rp style servers for Dusk?

[olive cloud]

And yea lets burn these fucking cultists with fire

[untold vale]

Napalm Cannon, son!

[rancid viper]

Dusk RTX when?

[untold vale]

SOON (tm)

[olive cloud]

AE rtx would be fucking awesome tho

[crimson folio]

AE VR when

[muted jolt]

@untold vale Just my 2 cents, i played with that specs and played till the end really well, it's UE4 but the game it's optimized, but maybe will make your pc go a jet mode, maybe mine don't do that cause it's old

[untold vale]

I mean, Maximum Action does that to my rig too, but that doesn't stop me from screwing about in that game. But if Amid Evil is well optimized enough, I may have to grab it next payday.

[visual aurora]

Dusk is fun

[slow harness]

next payday

is your payday 25 dollars

[untold vale]

Better. It's 30 dollars.

[slow harness]

impressive

[muted jolt]

that's the same as my payday

but usually it's all for food so 😦

[slow harness]

my payday is sandwich

[untold vale]

That's all our payday is is sandwich.

I wish New Blood would make sandwiches.

[slow harness]

same

[untold vale]

Instead they're busy with DUSK soap.

But, what about a DUSK sandwich?

[slow harness]

that's reasonable

[untold vale]

Someone pitch that to Oshry or DUSKDev himself.

[slow harness]

it's all fun and games until someone pings the mods

[untold vale]

Hey, they may be hungry too.

Don't underestimate hunger.

[muted jolt]

maybe they come later

[untold vale]

DLC sandwich?

[pure cypress]

Sounds tasty.

[muted jolt]

Jakob Sandwich

because you know

he just meat at the end

[untold vale]

Or some leatherneck meat.

[slow harness]

leatherneck meat

lennyface

[muted jolt]

oh no

[crimson folio]

Me Sandwich

[muted jolt]

Leathernecks on cero miedo have hard meat

[slow harness]

ooh

[muted jolt]

that's why they run so fast

[crimson folio]

what is google translate on today

I think it's on all the drugs today....

[toxic elbow]

Finished half life trilogy, now Im mad go figure

[crimson folio]

What are you mad about?

[toxic elbow]

do you know whats half life?

[crimson folio]

I do

[slow harness]

what's that

[toxic elbow]

I mean I didnt care that it wont get a sequel when Ive finnish HL2

[slow harness]

what's half life

[toxic elbow]

but the episodic were so good

something that cannot be said with the number 3 @slow harness

[slow harness]

fortnite

got it

[toxic elbow]

now you made me happy again

[crimson folio]

Don't start a story if you don't plan on having a satisfying conclusion. Valve didn't understand that concept, and they still don't.

[toxic elbow]

Ive literally finnished both ep. in one sitting each today and yesterday. it was that good

[untold vale]

As far as I was concerned, Half Life ended with Half Life 2.

[slow harness]

no spoilerinos

[toxic elbow]

its so a shame because valve slowly became developers gods in 2011, you see it on portal 2, its just a masterpiece

well I guess they became monopoly so its not to debate ):

[untold vale]

Now they don't really care about making games.

[crimson folio]

Their motto nowadays is, "Why make your own games when you can sell other people's games and make money off that instead?"

[toxic elbow]

I mean I still respect them

steam is the best game platform on PC hands down

[crimson folio]

I got respect for them as well, I mean they gave us steam after all.

[sleek cape]

I've just finished E1M5, Sawdust. This game has already cemented itself as my favorite FPS of the last 10 years. It's P E R F E C T. Well done, boys. Also, I'm VERY much looking forward to what's in store for Maximum Action, and I have no doubt it will be equally high-quality. 👍 👍

[slow harness]

you haven't seen e2 and e3

[sleek cape]

I'm waiting until it's dark out to go any further, because I want the most ideal setting for maximum immersion.

Unfortunately, the sun doesn't set until 8:37 PM EDT for me.

[crimson folio]

You will enjoy Episode 2 and 3 believe me, the next two episodes are just awesome in nearly every regard.

[cosmic urchin]

also I definitely oblige you to wait for the time of maximum immersion. it's worth it especially for episodes 2 & 3.

[sleek cape]

This game has John Romero-caliber level design and John Carmack-caliber fluidity and polish. I'm not joking.

It feels like a game id Software would have made in 1997 or 98 if they hadn't gone their separate ways in 96.

[slow harness]

and didn't have time pressure

[sleek cape]

Graphically, it looks like a Quake 1 Engine game. I love that chunky 3D look.

[crimson folio]

And that music.... OH MAH GAWD

[sleek cape]

OOOOOOOOOH, yes.

Speed and control feel-wise, it's gone full-on Unreal Tournament 99.

Or Quake 3 Arena.

Complete with bouncy pads.

[crimson folio]

Not to mention that strafe jumping in Dusk is relatively easy to learn.

[slow harness]

pretty unfun movement for me

just spam it

q1's movement was way more interactive

[sleek cape]

Lesser enemies are all predictable. They basically banzai charge you. What pleasantly surprised me was how they ruthlessly chase you once they've detected you.

I swear I ran across the entire map of one of the early farm levels, probably e1m2 or 3, and this one cultist chased me the whole way.

[crimson folio]

That is one persistent bastard.

[sleek cape]

He was dealt with by a quick BLAM, BLAM from my T2 lever shotties 😎

[crimson folio]

I'm not lying when I say that I think that Dusk's lever action shotgun is one of the best shotguns ever put in an FPS. I like the super shotgun as well too.

[sleek cape]

It's not OP at all, and the blasts become less and less effective at longer ranges, like a real one does. That kind of attention to detail is just mwah 10/10

[crimson folio]

I think the lever action shotgun has greater range than the super shotgun though....

[sleek cape]

It's all so well-balanced with damage output and range that you find yourself constantly cycling your weapons to deal with different threats, sometimes once every 5 seconds.

It's currently on version 1.4. Have any guns been buffed or nerfed since 1.0?

[slow harness]

nope

i believe

[crimson folio]

y'all is it just me, or does anyone else feel their test levels increase after at least 30 mins of Dusk?

[slow harness]

devs said they are untouched

although mortar sucks dick

[sleek cape]

Well, every game has at least one shit weapon :/

[slow harness]

and they be like ding din mod it in

[crimson folio]

I just finished both alpha levels. I think regular dusk is better, but I can see lots of bits of it sprinkled throughout the full game.

[smoky sigil]

The riveter makes the mortar feel redundant

[slow harness]

lots of bits in it turned out to be stuff in episode 1

[smoky sigil]

The only thing the mortar really has over the riveter is remote detonation

[crimson folio]

And it can also ricochet off walls. Which is a very useful feature.

[slow harness]

with such projectile speed you're better off just killing the poor fucker with anything else

[crimson folio]

The mortar is good if you want a more controlled or concentrated cluster of explosions

It's also much more forgiving if you shoot it into a wall

[slow harness]

and it also sucks

[ionic wigeon]

but I like the mortar

[dapper spire]

mortar is fun

[crimson folio]

Mortar is life

[fleet flame]

Woah why is Dusk updatin'

[dapper spire]

dusk expansion pack?

[dapper spire]

did Andrew make the soundtrack?

[toxic elbow]

yeah an you?!

[hollow cosmos]

no but they replaced flips with gun sound

[rough ivy]

guys i think this is fingerbones

[hollow cosmos]

which is probably the worst thing ive ever heard

[crimson folio]

Dis is best thing ever.... But is it Dusk 3 material?

[velvet basalt]

no flip? Aight im headin out

[toxic elbow]

@amid ekscelle dead

[hollow cosmos]

this is the game that answers the timeless question: "what if dusk but just E1M3 but just the first bit"

[agile vine]

is there anyone that leaves flips on

that shit makes me throw up

[toxic elbow]

#6995 Boomstick if you say 3 one more time I would fucking cty

there we go

[toxic elbow]

yeah but can you press the escape batton?

you didnt expect that IVe aked you that didnt you?

[rough ivy]

you mispelled amidid

[hollow cosmos]

im unprepared to answer this frankly loaded question

[toxic elbow]

oopes

@hollow cosmos Ho yeah Ive got you

this is a scam!

[chilly minnow]

We need Dusk VR

[toxic elbow]

holy shit

[hollow cosmos]

vusk

[dapper spire]

that would probably give me motion sickness

but I don’t care

because it’s dusk

[hollow cosmos]

we cant have it yet

the technology isnt there

[chilly minnow]

if quake was modded for vr, then could we do the same for DUSK?

[toxic elbow]

even if Ill get my toe amputated

[hollow cosmos]

valve hasnt invented feet controllers to go with knuckles and i wont settle for anything less than actually having to bhop for that True Immersive Experience

[toxic elbow]

joke on you cause valve cannot count 😄

:/

😦

[hollow cosmos]

what abotu duskworld vr though

[toxic elbow]

Ill have to amputate my leg

[hollow cosmos]

think like pavlov where everyone stands up perfectly straight and their arms are spaghetti waving guns

[toxic elbow]

I have an idea!!!!!

life is DUSK

Dusk for S J W

[hollow cosmos]

duskdude with blue hair and emotions

is that what you had in mind

[toxic elbow]

it would actually be nice to reveres time in combat

[hollow cosmos]

like a serum of taeh gniretsilb?

[white pulsar]

so you could watch a piece of soap obliterate the same leatherneck multiple times in a row? yes

[slow harness]

blistering heat doesn't reverse time

[hollow cosmos]

yeah thats why i wrote it in reverse though

[slow harness]

and reversing time in it's core is kinda gimmicky

[hollow cosmos]

so is time only moving when you move and they made a whole game about that, if its a fun gimmick its cool with me

[toxic elbow]

SpongeDUSK soap-pants

[hollow ivy]

[slow harness]

haha nice one mods

you think you're funny funny man

[olive cloud]

Yes they are actually funny

[crimson folio]

They most certainly know what humor is

so I haven't really played many actually good shooters in like roughly 20 years, it's a good idea to just play dusk on duskmare until I don't suck right?

I've been toying with I think it's called Endless mode or whatever, the arena thing, and I feel like it's doable

It is hard as sin though

I mean, it's only hard until it isn't any more, right?

when I was a spiderling I did used to play everything on the hardest skill but I feel like that little guy was way better than I am now

[royal herald]

spiderling?

[crimson folio]

I am spider, a baby spider is called a spiderling

Never knew that, guess you learn something new everyday.

::3

so far the main thing I've learned is that if you pick up and throw explodey barrels at guys

only the big ones will make the barrels actually explode, little guys will just gib and the barrel is fine

also maybe I'm just too old to remember but it seems like you have to move around a lot more than you did in quake

[slow harness]

lmao no

movement is way easier

space is more open

[crimson folio]

or like whatever else, I do get that bullet hell feeling sometimes but, sometimes it's hectic

eh like I said maybe it's been too long I just don't remember having to clear as much distance as I've been having to in the endless mode as quickly as I have to in order to not die

it's certainly real fun tho

[wheat zinc]

I feel like Cero Miedo is the "intended" difficulty

Duskmare is more of a meme difficulty

[sleek cape]

I'm going on the equivalent of "Hurt Me Plenty". I forget the actual name of the difficulty.

[wheat zinc]

think game is too easy below Cero

[slow harness]

I can take it

[wheat zinc]

but Duskmare is more for bragging rights

[crimson folio]

I think I did a couple levels on that one

[slow harness]

Duskmare is surprisingly ok

[wheat zinc]

Cero lets you be aggressive

but getting hit hurts alot

[crimson folio]

but like bragging rights is, like I'm not alone in thinking that's attractive

I do know in the endless I die like, really fast if I get caught in a bad spot for a quarter second

[sleek cape]

@slow harness Is it supposed to be equal to Quake's "nightmare" difficulty, but not hidden down a secret path?

[slow harness]

Yes

And it's easier

[crimson folio]

I'll have to try the actual game before I have an opinion

[slow harness]

Yes

[sleek cape]

Dusk has that Quake/Unreal gameplay feel down-pat.

[smoky sigil]

The game says Cero Miedo is intended for the second playthrough onwards

I'd reccomend I Can Take It

[crimson folio]

woah what the heck is "intruder mode"

[dire siren]

does anyone know how the strafe works in dusk? It seems to be programmed diferent from original strafe I would like to know how exactly is the speed calculated

[mild oasis]

in intruder mode you start every level with only the sickles

[crimson folio]

huh

[dire siren]

that explains why there are many sword pickups along the levels

[sleek cape]

You lose all your previously acquired guns every time you finish a level. They don't carry over, like normal. @crimson folio

[ionic wigeon]

squint

Is that, A satanist pentagram

And a Chaos sigil I see

[crimson folio]

more than that tbh

[ionic wigeon]

....What is the symbol you got spiderpunk? It's honestly pretty rad

[crimson folio]

that is: sigil of baphomet, chaosphere, sigil of arachne, orobouros

in order of your mentioning, ofc

also thank you I spent a long time doing this in ms paint because I'm too stubborn to learn photoshop

also rats kill me in one hit on duskmare this is going to be a lot of fun

[ionic wigeon]

Soooo in other words.

[crimson folio]

essentially yes

we night lords in my hood

I just bought the Dusk soundtrack and downloaded the WAV version. Holy 2.4 gigabytes, Batman! That's 4 CD's worth of music.

[crimson folio]

I think everything kills you in one hit on this skill

[ionic wigeon]

which skill?

[crimson folio]

duskmare

[ionic wigeon]

Yuppers

[crimson folio]

like yknow how you start with like 200 health and however much morale

every single thing that has grazed me unless I did it has killed me if it touched me

oh cool sickles deflect fireballs

[ionic wigeon]

it deflects fireballs??

I knew it deflects bullets

But I didn't know fireballs as well

[crimson folio]

yep, apparently the blood thing that the cute goatbois do too

maybe it's all projectiles

[ionic wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/amazing-amazed-chrispratt-gif-5122518

It's Sickle only time gamers

[sleek cape]

I'm listening closer to the gunfire sounds and... did they actually go out, fire each type of gun for real, then use those recorded sounds in the game?

The gun FX sound THAT convincing.

[fair mirage]

mhm

[crimson folio]

I like the super shotty quite a bit but where did they find a riveter to record?

[fair mirage]

think there was a little post-processing, but

[sleek cape]

Those are real gun sounds. Amazing.

The shots have the percussive crack that any supersonic round (over 1,100 FPS) has.

@fair mirage I'm guessing the handgun sound is some sort of 9mm semiauto?

[fair mirage]

i don't remember the details really

[sleek cape]

I bet the AR is an AK-47 type rifle for that beefier, slower firing sound.

[crimson folio]

It's most certainly a beefy gun, that's for sure.

[sleek cape]

The Stg. 44 (first successful assault rifle design) had a firing sound similar to that, probably because it fired a very similar round to the AK.

Basically a .30 caliber short round for both guns.

[crimson folio]

The Ak family of rifles and the Stg 44 are very similarly designed guns, both of them even use similar curved magazines.

[sleek cape]

Basically, Mikhail Kalashnikov saw what the Germans did and said "I'll make it even better."

[crimson folio]

Pretty much.

[sleek cape]

It's now Dusk outside. Time for me to fire the game back up at the start of E1M6...

[crimson folio]

Dave, I tried your old game, Pit

It's... Really bad, but it's an interesting little novelty

[thorn trout]

thanks for letting me know

[tawdry cloak]

I tried a music thing
@terse sorrel @mild ginkgo

[sleek cape]

I'm near the end of E1M7, and there are so many Hell Knight-type scarecrows that throw those blue energy orbs, or whatever they are.

[brave egret]

neat

[tawdry cloak]

Thank you
The loop is from DUSK too 😃

[sleek cape]

There's a rather mild thunderstorm going on outside right now. Perfect atmosphere for playing this game.

[tawdry cloak]

Indeed, especially with the windows open so you get all that rain atmosphere

[chilly minnow]

OK GUYS I'M GONNA KILL THE FINAL BOSS WITH A CONTROLLER WISH ME LUCK

nevermind i failed

[vague egret]

we salute your efforts

[crimson folio]

I believe in you

you can do it

[tawdry cloak]

It's only been 15 minutes you got this

[chilly minnow]

ok gonna try again

[spice knot]

good luck soldier

[muted berry]

FUCKING RIP AND TEAR

UNTIL IT IS DONE

then rehydrate yourself.

:D

[tawdry cloak]

Speaking of rehydration

[chilly minnow]

Update, I did it I won

[muted berry]

WITNESSED

[sleek cape]

I just finished Episode 1: The Foothills. Perfect in every way. That boss fight at the end with the flaming demon horses was just MWAH.
It reminded me a lot of the Bruiser Brothers fight at the end of Doom's E1.

[muted berry]

You're in for a treat, bucko.

Strap that sweet rear in and get ready for a wild ride.

[sleek cape]

There's a lot of Redneck Rampage in this game, and I can't help but think that the possessed farm setting was inspired by Children of the Corn.

[muted berry]

Just wait.

It gets fucking WILD.

[smoky sigil]

Congrats

[final estuary]

The goats are inspired by The Witch so

Probably not wrong

[smoky sigil]

The game only gets better from there

[sleek cape]

Wild enough that I'll want to play through again on hard mode?

[final estuary]

Yes

[smoky sigil]

That's what happened with me

[cosmic urchin]

cero miedo isn't too bad if that's what you mean by "hard mode"

[sleek cape]

Oh, I almost forgot. The music. Sweet fucking SATAN, the music! 🤘

I bought the soundtrack on Bandcamp. I want to support Mr. Hulshult because... you do NOT get a soundtrack this goddamn good very often.

It's like Aubrey Hodges (Doom 64) meets Mick Gordon (Doom 2016), with more than a little bit of Trent Reznor (Quake) thrown in for good measure.

[final estuary]

Yeah the acoustics in Andrew's trash can are incredible

[untold vale]

Andrew's a damn rock god, and he clearly demonstrated that back in ROTT.

Love the fact he did DUSK.

[final estuary]

I anticipate his Doom 2 soundtrack remake

[sleek cape]

I wonder how he got that heavy bass tone. Direct-in hookup to an interface?

[final estuary]

But yes go support Andrew by buying the dusk ost on steam

[sleek cape]

That's how most metal studios record bass.

It's a lot less hassle than miking up a cab.

[crimson folio]

GUYS WE NEED TO CONVINCE MY FRIEND TO BUY ALL OF NEW BLOOD'S SHIT

Actually he's already convinced

[sleek cape]

@final estuary Will Andrew be doing the rest of the soundtrack for Maximum Action, or is that up to BalloonMoose?

[cosmic urchin]

i was gonna say show them civvie's series on dusk, but good to hear

[crimson folio]

But hes waiting on it

At least for now

[cosmic urchin]

I know this is music, but I used DUSK for this ^

[crimson folio]

The angelic chords before you fight the final boss?

This is pretty

[tawdry cloak]

Indeed 😃

Thank you ❤

[crimson folio]

What's the image from?

[tawdry cloak]

A map I made in Overgrowth

[crimson folio]

It looks good. It's weird tho - But it's got that sort of uncanny valley feeling of "old game"

[tawdry cloak]

It was a horror theme I was working on

[crimson folio]

The music is pretty, but gets a touch repetative. Could perhaps spruce it up with a little somber piano

[tawdry cloak]

I'm not much of a pianist

[crimson folio]

Or something along the lines

Don't need to be, do you? Just gotta hit some keys, see what fits

[tawdry cloak]

hmm, I guess it depends where. I didn't think about it

I just love the wavy ambience

[crimson folio]

Yeah. It's sorta something I'd chill out to on loop

[tawdry cloak]

Thats the idea 😃

I don't think that will be the last I work on the song

I will likely do some more to it and reupload it

[crimson folio]

I personally love the ambience in that one song Crypted Chaos. Could do something with that

Also, you got a youtube channel?

Like for music and stuff

[tawdry cloak]

You can follow me on Soundcloud :3

I don't post a whole lot but I do listen to a lot of music and repost a lot

[final estuary]

@sleek cape i honestly couldn't tell you

[crimson folio]

Gave you a shoutout on Facebook, because I'm a fuckhead who actually uses facebook. I have doubts it'll bring you much attention because all my friends and family are normies, but there you go

Keep up the good work man

... I'm gonna be super honest

I should probably replay Episode 2 at some point

Episode 2 usually frustrates me the most. Maybe it's because I'm not really aggressive enough for Erebus Reactor

[tawdry cloak]

Wow, thanks so much man 😄

[sleek cape]

Alright. I've got my water bottle filled and a can of Monster Juice Pacific Punch. I'm ready for E2 and 3.

[dapper spire]

hell yeah dude

[sleek cape]

Also, it's pitch-black outside. Totally overcast.

[dapper spire]

do you like horror in video games or not?

because Ep2 and 3 have scary parts

like

David could make a horror game just on those parts

[fleet flame]

There was this ambient track in E2M8 (Blood and Bone) that gave me serious RtCW vibes I loved it

[dapper spire]

the one at the end of the level?

yeah that spooked me

[fleet flame]

Yeah that ||if you're referring to the build up of suspense when you go down and activate the altar|| but this other general ambient track that plays throughout the level when not much is going on

It's not on the official soundtrack I don't think

[dapper spire]

explains why I haven’t really heard all that much

[tropic blaze]

just bought doosk for a fren

cuz this games too awesome

[dapper spire]

what do they think of the game right now?

[tropic blaze]

was showing them content, they thought it was pretty awesome. they're a retro FPS fan

plus like i know the dude will love the thematic elements. dudes way into horror and lovecraftian stuff

• ultraviolence

[dapper spire]

well they’ll definitely like this game

[tiny glade]

This might be a stupid question but - considering the troopers fighting the cultists in episode 1, does this mean there were other 'survivors' like duskguy in the city?

[dapper spire]

I mean

probably

[tiny glade]

Hmm. I was just thinking that could be a cool plot angle to use for a mod episode when the SDK finally drops

[dapper spire]

or, if they want to, New Blood could make an expansion pack out of it

[tiny glade]

another survivor just trying to get out of the city, not push further into like duskguy did

[final estuary]

i think those particular soldiers at the gate weren't possessed and tried to defend the city but they slowly got corrupted

[dapper spire]

maybe the ending has the protagonist die or escape Dusk

[final estuary]

big john is the only other individual that has made attempts to resist the possession

[dapper spire]

well yeah

because he’s big john

[tiny glade]

I mean, come to think of it, John sorta begs you to kill him

and by sorta I mean he does

[crimson folio]

Big John is too powerful

[tiny glade]

actually come to think of it

I wonder how deep the militaries involvement with the cult went?

considering the labs and the facilities imply the altars were being researched before Jacob started cult in earnest

[ionic wigeon]

It goes all the way man

[dapper spire]

if they did that before ||Jakob|| was cult leader, then their involvement goes way deep

[jagged ferry]

dusk opposing force

[dapper spire]

I’d play that

[sleek cape]

@dapper spire I love horror, especially Lovecraftian. I played through the Thief: Deadly Shadows mission "Robbing the Cradle". I know scary.

[dapper spire]

ah

well then you should be good

[sleek cape]

I paused at the start of E2M2 and alt-tabbed. Back in I go.

E2M1 was already fucking nuts, dude.

[dapper spire]

oh trust me

I know

gets more nuts as you go

[sleek cape]

It just may be the best classic-style FPS ever made.

This is a cut above what id Software were doing in the 90's.

[jagged ferry]

when you get so overwhelmed that you deadass have to alt tab to calm down before you keep going

[sleek cape]

Has John Romero played DUSK? He needs to if he hasn't.

[dapper spire]

I don’t think he has

[sleek cape]

I know he'd LOVE it.

[dapper spire]

I want to see him play this so fucking bad

[sleek cape]

Someone could give him a key 😏
