Yes they are
No, not really
They never have interest, it's how it works
Most do
The point isn't to make money off interest, it's to make money off people who can't pay
The entire business model is late fees
The entire business model is debt
Debt in of itself is a currency
And a vital one
Yeah and you should avoid debt if possible
You shouldnt actually
For a house sure, for a ram bar, fuck no

How do you think you get approved for those house loans bro 😭
If you don't understand the business model with buy now pay later and don't get how it's a problem there's no reason discussing it with you
Brother i live in this business model
Its the only way the average person even has a shot at owning a home
Taking payments on things you can afford (preferably without interest) is a great starting point for building credit
Thats why having a sub service or two on a credit card isnt actually a bad idea

Very good
Vauban still has absolutely no worthwhile survivability, but him being outright stronger makes it easier to account for
Im going to work on getting my second koumei so i can do catalyzing shields + omamori and see if thats a low investment way of getting him to live
his aoe got glowup
Very much so
Put on his 3 augment and thats suddenly his entire kit
Its single target damage is still kinda not the best, but i imagine thats easily fixed with roar and or viral priming
But you can also just put on single target weapons
is gambit not workin for yall?
no
jacketless just makes me think of baruuk tbh
Gambit works just fine in Rivals. Must be a skill issue
he never folds
@balmy mason
😂
Well, almost at 1500 displays in my skyrim museum now
And I haven't even finished a single questline
Almost done with the main companions questline, though I'll have to deal with getting the hircine totems after
89 cooking 
And I still have to avoid 1 specific npc that will keep trying to find me to talk to me, since I don't want to be sold as a slave and have to start going through project aho yet
Gonna have a game night who wants in
Do you have an audiobook version? 
Nuh uh
DS2 pc port finally
Dead or Alive
fire
Control
so gravity rush
I need ac7 :(
But fromsoft hates armoured core I guess
WE
Marathon is gonna be in the stream
New shells getting announced i think
This looks good
I imagine fromsoft is busy trying to get duskbloods out the door
I do hope that when they do another armoured core, they seperate the sandboxes
When they would kneecap something in PvP it'd be fucked in the story content
This looks interesting as well
Pokemon
have i missed anything
Wait they’re kind of cooking
Gamefreak game rn, nothing much else
Nothing interesting
easyy
Gramefreak needs to like actually make good games
rayman
They have so much money dude
Rayman what the fuck
They could be doing so much more
Didnt go very well but i really like orbital orisa ult now
MINA

Shovel knight devs new game
Ohhhh

Is that a chicken
Its a duck
killer chicken
Ok this actually looks kinda decent other than the chicken model
Pod racing

Oh 007

Ps6 pro enhanced
Marathon

"I woke up in the water again" brother your pants are dry

9 min left
No shot they’re going to end it with marathon

Oh yea
It might be
oh yeah it is john wick
ala wake?
ah there it is
Ofc it’s John wick
MARATHONNNN
Goddamn it
they are ending it with marathon
And also sony is desperately trying to salvage their live service initiative
Cause it has fallen so flat on its face
With that im headin' off to bed, new jjk episode out
oh yeah
got 3 POTG's this session so im happy
was there any actual gaeme in the shw
i mean other then that easy fake gachce sht
Its not a bird watching stream
Several
Thats the whole point
Its not a bird watching stream
Saying that like pragmata and re9 wasnt there
The gamefreak game also looks decent
This has been a really solid state of play highkey
Still not as good as other companies' streams but much better than state of play has been
Oh shit GOW
how
is something happening
sony wtf man
Sidescroller god of war is sick
Maybe if the visuals were better

wait didnt it release last year?
This is actually utter bullshit
yea they usauly take like 3yrs to go on pc no
One of these days huh
but sick tho
I play like 3-4 games, if I lose all of them I just dip for a bit and come back later
5 matches in a row we were either with or against the same fucking duo as well
Just avoid these people (its a setting ingame)
I did
I avoided them and then the following match went against them again
FREE HER
PEAK
SHES FREE
ITS SO CUTE I LOVE IT
Dead lobbies in the uk fr
@hidden pulsar @finite jetty @steep frost SHE HERE
9 losses now because every motherfucker on our team is genuinely useless
If I was losing because I’m playing bad it’d be one thing
But I’m fucking not
LMAO
@noble tundra peak
oof
ive gotten extremely lucky, i keep getting ana who nano boosts me
like this one
Im pretty sure im just getting lucky with teammates too
I ordered shirts a month ago. Still waiting
Yeah that is unfortunately the issue
He didn’t eat the baby?
Holy shit

@bright crown i have akquired burger
Domina needs to be nerfed into the fucking ground
What an overtuned bullshit hero
And because she’s new I’m going against her in every single fucking match
Somehow never with her
Borgar
Its thick swiss
Fuck me man
Honeymoon period lasted a fucking day before landing me with the most miserable session of bullshit known to man
She's only overtuned because of a bug with her shield
her name is Fika
If you play a mirror match she can get full shield heals by using her grenade on the others shield
Brig wanted to break the game again so she had to bring this evil cat
the only main problem with her is the bug
i know another problem
i will kill you.
actually nevermind
Whats the other problem yg
shut up
Me
Did you get his dance emote
I have 22k credits so of course
I use to play moria too aggressive sometimes and ended being a dps most of the match
First purchase
Now you have to dance in front of every filthy venture player you see
Should kill them
Democracy is canon
Hd2 one is really cool
Wsg pooks
When overwatch
Symmetra received any buffs?
depends on when you last played her
📰 Reflecting On Shipping My First Game (Highguard)
Apologies for the length. Been wanting to say a lot of this for a while.
The day leading to The Game Awards 2025 was amongst the most exciting of my life. After 2.5yrs of passionately working on Highguard, we were ready to reveal it to the world. The future seemed bright.
Everyone I knew who had any connection to the team or project had the same sentiments:
“This is lightning in a bottle.”
“I trust this team wholeheartedly.”
“If there’s one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it’s yours.”
“This has mainstream hit written all over it.”
“There’s no way this will flop.”
"I could play this game all day."
The internal pre-reveal feedback, even from unbiased sources, was quite positive, and where it was negative, it was constructive, and often actionable. People who played the game, including us, had a blast. And since we were an independent, self-published studio built wit…
Damn now this is just sad to read
Yippee!!
Now hug her
she is much better now
i dont think shes meta anymore but im 90% sure shes still terrifying
I enjoyed her she was so cracked I had so many potg with her


Overwatch 2 died
They released a new game called overwatch on Tuesday
(Im not kidding, they removed the 2, season 1 started 2 days ago)
Oh she's good rn
She absolutely ruins domina
She's really good rn
infinite mine bug on wreaking ball with his new perk
just hit the ult at exactly 5 seconds and you can keep dropping at extra set of mines
hi fellow tenno in the chat
does equilibrium works with dagath energy conversion passive
specifically the health to energy part
i love sandy
No, but yellow archon shards do

I still have equilibrium or an eq shard on though
hm
Just keeps things simple
more spammy i guess
You dont really need to worry about the passive stacking though, she prints orbs like mad
Especially if you have her augment on
Yup
I dont use it personally, but it fixes the biggest pain point people have with her
alright, imma go exchange it from red veil and make a nother loadout for her
is this good for reference
imma use the basic counterpart for the mods ofc, still have reach the late game pointyet 
The weirdo
Also, is that a pair of jeans
Yeah, she likes to have a pair of my pants, so i always leave her a pair that i wore to sit in/on
She loves me 
What a lovely little creature
Qat Just wants to sit on me however
But she's perfectly content next to me when I'm not In my bed for some reason
❗
"Oh hey new marathon trailer, guess ill check it ou- ARTHUR MORGAN!?"
Maybe it's a bit too soon but the sentiment has shifted drastically
I think that reception from 10 months ago had to deal with the polarization of the game having its hero elements be confirmed
Cause that was before the open alpha
Yeah but people have had time to digest it and get influenced by marketing
Hell nah
Fruh
My friend has been playing her
She looks very satisfying to get right but I don’t know if I could
I’m not sure melee characters like that are my strong suit
Being in close and knowing how to get in and out safely and get value and secure picks yk?
Shes pretty fun
Why is your cat looking both ways at the same time

Bro what has fornite become
It's literally just famous people in a video game now
Its not a game where u can play with ur friends and create maps (creative if that's still a thing anymore)
It's all abt collabs left and right it's crazy
I mean it quite literally is
I regularly play the game with my friend
It's just so much abt buying skins instead of playing a once amazing game all those years ago
Me and my friend hadn’t played for a while but the Ninjago collab kinda made me wanna play again, so we’ve had some sessions recently
What are you waffling about

Plus i haven’t touched the game in months .,.
No one’s making you buy a skin
Jet pack cat is good target practice
You can just play the game for free
Got to the point where I could snipe em out the air with widow
Idk man
Quit buying the battle passes
With my Omega skin 
That was yesterday. Now my aim is shit.
Do you disagree? Are you telling me Tim Sweeney has a gun to your head telling you to buy V-bucks?
No
Lmao wild
Then I rest my case
Yea
The game is still the game, you can still play it like you always could
Creative still a thing?
And you can ignore or buy skins as you please, like you always could
Yes
It never left
Like it was when it first came out?
Why were you making these random claims if you don’t even know
I thought it did (•_•)
But the best thing I enjoyed was OG playground with titled towers …
Someone told propaganda at work man idk
Now that’s gone
Bro sameeee
It’s like way expanded in scope from how it started
Ah
There’s a bunch of tools for map creators to make honestly quite insane stuff
I haven't played rtnite in years
Finally got first place in a competitive match
The good ol flitnock Parkour was fun
I used to speed run that when it came out
you say this like there wasnt collabs before battle royale even came out
the game has had collabs far longer than it hasnt
The first collab was in 2018
nope
?
there was content creator collabs in stw
game has been built off of collabs
Facts 
How's that Ninja dude nowadays
I remember him being the mascot of the IP at one point
Haven't heard of him anymore recently
Ninja hasn’t played Fortnite in months got moved to arc
Unless that’s who you’re referring to
I love domina so much she's so peak
Free acheron is so goated
j
Rip
83 pulls dumped into DoT fish
from last banner
which was Fugue

in 18 days
I will try again
to get DoT fish
Gonna dump all my free pulls into evernight
you got FF?
I barely play HSR im just getting the free 4.0 shit
I have no idea what that is
the unicorn
Hyacine
because if you did, then Evernight is going to be doing silly big number damage
I dont think so
ouch
anyway, I think I'll do the story stuff after I wake up tomorrow
got stuff to do
but yeah....
😭
why did Bailu come
I've still yet to get a Bronya
and I've got E2 Bailu, E2 Fu Xuan, E3 Welt, E1 Yangshit, E1 Geppie
and a single Bladie copy
oh yeah
E2 Clara as well
I'm just in pain...
Yao Guang... GIMMIE 100 Tickets!
i got yaoguang and e1 evernight in 30
last my lightcone and got bronya's lc instead
life is good
i have 80 pulls saved up for sparxie
anyways, after trying out sparxie
the skill point animation is kinda too long
it feels like the animation that qingque has
I wanted to start DoT team assembly
😭
since I have JQ

since it's literally "Now or never"
for DoT
Hysilens
This guy
water ahh physical dot
i been doing good without her
i am sticxking with the bare minimum
huo huo, ruanmei, black swan, kafka

rip
its alright
I refuse to claim
dont worrth , i dont have bailu yet
I mean, at least with Welt, I DID want him
sparkle power creaping her
for slow imprisonment memes
welp i dont think you will use her much anyways in late game
more so a currency war thingie
as for neutral gameplay hes kind ehh
i built him and yanqing and yet never use em once
hmm
I HAD to E6 her
I was betting that I would get Hysilens first
so that I can claim my free Kafka
either one of blackswan or hysilens works
thing is, BS is more of a "extra luxury" as 3rd slot
since core DoT is pretty much Hysilens + Kafka atm
Healer(huo huo/gallaher), Ruanmei(Cyrene if hysilens), blackswan/Hysilens, kafka
like they're the current "wheelchair" for DoT
mhm
I do have Huo^2
yeah you pretty much set to go
was really hoping to jump onto DoT.
Since I've got 18ish days of banner
jiaoqiu is more so a acheron shinanigans
I mean... I CAN get Acheron
but I'm like going to say Nah to that
you dont need adventurine
one hand.... if I do get a Bronya this year... I could technically gun straight to E4 Bronya
gepard with the burn ligthcone works on him as well
I forgot about the burn LC lol
Acheron for mint-picking memes
or E1 Sporkle
but I don't plan to pull for Elation this year at all
going to invest into Genshin
i have 10k snacks prepared for free roam acheron
man those days
i miss em
its been like 3-4 years i played genshin
which green girl lol
dendro archon or something
i left off when i got her

anyway
his burst
and I needed something to do while waiting for HSR downtime anyway
got fedup with Bungo loot abuse
that a gravekeeper in WF?
i dunno, never got into the lore that deep yet 
and.... snap....
guess rumors were true about 4.x this year being Anti-Wind/Ice
I couldn't 2 cycle AA with my Premium Therta team

he's a priest
Wait I thought WF is about space ninjas? 
What got bro so upset
I remember when it was about space ninjas

however i stopped when we got that NERD with a goofy ass tophat
need to try get balefires allt fire to my controllrs using my toggles hurrting
Yeah i rebound altfire specifically for balefire alt spamming
it got boring though
finally getting this amiibo thing so i dont have to buy every amiibo in existence to get a couple in game items
and i can use it to get specific villagers i want in animal crossing too

yippee
Limbo or somethin? I just recall some HS classmates complaining about people making enemies disappear into a pocket dimension
they all have vague (or not) themes they're based around
space ninjas play free 
Warframe is about registering losers

Sand!!!
Probably
i checked
he is
i guess i am sticking with the base right now
Its just minor stats boost so isnt big of the deal for me right now in early midgame
Price might stabilize back down in a couple weeks
Depends on if he's vaulted or not
deathstranding2 is coming to pc soon so now i have to beat ds1
Hmmm I wonder if I have any spare set...
pretty good, you can do some crowd nuke builds using dark verse or flares subsume and divine retribution augment
Nezha is pretty cool
I can't ever get the nuke to work but the his rings are fun to use
I need to redo my build for him though

oh right, had to update my mods for skyrim so that some of them would start actually working
now the hall of forgotten can actually get the hyrule displays lol
irl cheaters messed with the bug major order and the extraction mo
Surely you'd take pity on an old beggar 
@empty estuary what status do you reccamend for bale fires alt
Probably the usual viral or heat
Maybe corrosive though

I still like watching your pfp dance
That’s crazy
Do I have to just update my overwatch 2 game then to just overwatch
Or I have to just redownload
Its.. just an update
I’ll give you 12 plat and a guardian mod for it

I can’t be asked to farm out of the mats for him anyways
I don’t think I have the oxium and I definitely don’t have thr cryotic
Your other option is real money then
jupiter excavation?
just do one when like there's extra drop on it
you'll get one farming kuvas/sis anyway
There's also the Oxium cost

Real quick. How come people say "can't be asked"
As a funny British man I have to ask because of us saying the same but we dont say asked
French*
we just stole it and made it family friendly
You sucked the fun out of it
As per
just had to arse 
its all gone arse upwards
sometimes cooking is just making random bullshit
...Is that yours or random image on google?
Random image
It doesn't look very appealing
thats the point
Cause it's just some bullshit
it looks like a hearty medieval meal (as if i know what those look like)
Bread and lettuce
Something you'd find in KCD2
broccoli and meat sounds premium
as if i've played kcd2 
True
Missing out
I hate that broccoli is expensive
just splurge on rotisserie chicken
its expensive for you guys?
Locking my dead untill I summon the patron
Yea, all the healthy food is at a premium, but you can get chocolate and sweets for pretty cheap
I dont cook, so i go out and get rice with veggies
oh
And this place i frequent upcharges the broccoli so its as expensive as a serving of meat
i was about to say i can get a boat load of broccoli for cheap

i love broccoli
hell yeah
I like broccoli

lol
Cold broccoli > cooked broccoli
Cold broccoli = cooked broccoli = 🤮
This guy is NOT eating his veggies and getting big and strong
Calling Santa on you
I WAS ROBBED
Bankruptcy banner
Gonna try for the flins rerun i think
Tho icl i really want escoff's sig
I tried to get back into genshin but I haven't played in 4 years so I'm super behind
So there's lowkenuinely no point
Only thing you're behind on really is the gambling addiction
Every gacha is built so you can catch up instantly
My strongest character is uh.. I forgot her name but it's some purple lightning girl that can teleport with her sword or something like that
I'm cooked 😔
Doto
That's who
i dont play genshin i just know gachas are designed to give new/returning players enough shit to gamble for enough to play the game and then you fall behind if you dont swipe your card or log in daily
Genshin is the whale simulator of the 3 hoyo games
When I was playing it felt like I couldn't get anything unless I spent money. So I just moved on to something different
clearly weren't trying hard enough then
Her name is the same noise a car makes hitting the brakes
😭
More like 5 going on 7 hoyo games
Coned
hi junie :3
Still amazing that after the Jet damage nerfs this is now arguably the most effective way of taking down helicopters in the bomber
I like to think the music is actually playing in the jet
Cant hear it quite as well in this one cause I changed some audio settings but yeah
Same shit
Or in the helicopter
(I suck at flying the attack heli this was like the first time I got anything done as pilot)
I cannot fly for shit
I can say that I am a decent Jet pilot atp but it took quite a while for sure
And the attack heli is just weird it feels almost too maneuverable especially compared to the chopper
That one I am actually not the worst and even more so when I am the only one on board
(ignore me jumping out at the end I missclicked)
Ive even killed a few attack helis this way its amazing
eagle 1 being useful for once
also it would be cool if anti tank guns could remove the face plate and allow me to snipe the cyborg in the vox
holy shit lmao
magik looks good
but oh my god luna snow
what have they done to you
@empty estuary @fossil patrol @zenith blaze
No bellybuttons allowed in fortnite
they are
they have em
just bad quality pic
cause its a screenshot from an ad
ah i can barely make it out
the skins look bad
do they always make the skins in fortnite character art style?
nope lol
prime example was Ed from ed edd and eddy
seems like they shouldve leaned more into the marvel rivals design
the magik is alright but that luna skin needs to be deleted from the internet
well they probs would if it was a rivals collab

is it not?
clearly not
looks more like a fortnite x characters that are in rivals collab
not even the game skins
leaks suggest these skins are apart of a wave 2 of the marvel rivals collab from last years collab
seems like they had a pretty accurate doom 2099 from the first wave
HAI KAT
HAI JUNIE
This has got to count as cultural appropriation
LMAO
what the fuck did they do to Luna Snow
