[sleek kraken]

The range honestly isn't that big an issue

She's a poke tank

Poke tanks need range

[empty estuary]

[pseudo sparrow]

The issue I have is her having Ultron's primary fire but being able to crit with it

And seemingly infinite overshield whenever I'm fighting one

[zenith blaze]

i think a tad bit of fall off damage would be nice

just a bit

[mental brook]

I mean Ram is helping deal with Domina so that's nice

[steep frost]

What if both of them got deleted

[mental brook]

Who?

[steep frost]

Ram and domina

[mental brook]

Nuh uh

Leave my man alone

[steep frost]

I hate fighting every tank

Except sigma

[mental brook]

Why every tank? Why not one tank? Why not even 3 of them? But all of them? Maybe the problem is with you

Nobody hates fighting winston

[steep frost]

thats mostly fair

[hidden pulsar]

6 wins to 11 losses today

I just don’t get it

I don’t understand why this is consistently happening

I just can’t enjoy any of the games I play recently

Except sigma

[wispy tundra]

big things happening

[blissful pagoda]

people are actually just complimenting me mcginnis

this feels weird

@hollow mica this made me buy dispell magic

oh wait dispell magic wouldnt do anything because it's his ult

thankfully mo and krill kept getting caught out in the open and never had an opportunity to stun someone afterwards

[wispy tundra]

It still shortens the stun and lets you cleanse the Mohammed and Kareem disarm

So is good

[blissful pagoda]

it provides passive debuff resist?

[wispy tundra]

Fuck I forgot they just split them

[blissful pagoda]

[wispy tundra]

It built out of debuff reducer a month ago

[blissful pagoda]

yeah i guessed so

[cold musk]

Never knew you had to go bottom up right left

[empty estuary]

[cold musk]

Tbh

Out of learning it I never use it

I’m just there for master strike

[hidden pulsar]

God it’s so hard trying to learn a character and judge whether I even am improving or if I’m just having fluke matches

I go from a match where I was 17-6 to a match where I’ve got 0 kills for like the whole first round

Some dude stopped to send me a whole ass PS message telling me to get off Vendetta

Like fuck off man

[hollow gulch]

Blame tank and go next

[empty estuary]

saw limbo deluxe's bundle was on sale and decided to pick it up since im picking up plat pretty easy rn

[zenith blaze]

i mean tbf if im going 0 to blah deaths after like two or three minutes, i am begrudgingly switching even if im in the midsts of learning a new character

[sleek kraken]

if im going 0 to any deaths im leaving the game

[zenith blaze]

learning characters is agony but forcing myself to learn them even when things are really stacked against me is more agonising

when i was learning tracer and i usually stuck with her even when i was doing poorly, but if the enemy team is cass, pharah, brig, mizuki, hog, yeah my ass is switching

[sleek kraken]

yea ggs

You'll learn a lot more by learning when it's time to not play a character

[hidden pulsar]

Honestly I’m not entirely clear on what match ups are good or bad anymore rip

I do not have knowledge of this game like I used to or like I more or less have with Rivals

[sleek kraken]

@upper tree retrieve the anti dive list

[jade sundial]

@sleek kraken im hearing rumours

ghost rider may be tank

big if true

[sleek kraken]

Interesting

[jade sundial]

whip some fools

[sleek kraken]

Won't get me back on rivals but it's interesting

[jade sundial]

elsa is good

probs too good for how easy she is to use

[hollow gulch]

Is he gonna be on the bike all game or are they just gonna make him huge

[jade sundial]

who knows lol

[cold musk]

ngl i forgot i had hd2 on my ps5 lul

[jade sundial]

dw just wait for december when Doom comes

Id assume theyll allign it with doomsday dont see why not

[cold musk]

first match some big ah robot bloody 2 shot me

[sleek kraken]

They can add as many characters as they want

Games still ass

[jade sundial]

a flying cat has made yall think ow is any better

both got so many flaws

[sleek kraken]

More of the balance state of rivals being non existent

And all the skins are low quality

[cold musk]

my god these robots hurt

[upbeat dirge]

why we pretending you have to learn Vendetta anyway

[celest finch]

Main Australian, helooooou

[cold musk]

heyyy kyra!

[celest finch]

Like heyyy

[cold musk]

hows chuu

[zinc coyote]

at least our supports can be killed out of their ults #tbh

[hidden pulsar]

Wdym?

[zenith blaze]

when youre playing vendetta, your biggest worried are cass, mizuki, ana, roadhog, kinda sigma, and any flyers

cass can punish you with flashbang, mizuki can just say lol fuck you and chain you in place (so if their team is coordinated youll get rolled), ana has sleep, hog can hook you, sigma rock can punish you fairly easily but thats about it from his side

[sleek kraken]

No she kinda runs though sigma

Rock doesn't do shit against her when she has 2 movement cds

[cold musk]

tf is a hellbomb

[sleek kraken]

Kaboom

Biiiiig kabooom

[cold musk]

idk wtf is happing!

[zenith blaze]

oh 100%, he gets dogwalked in a 1v1, but i was thinking this in a team play perspective

[sleek kraken]

Even then

You'll 90% of the time be fine

Also zen

Zen dogwalks vendetta

[zenith blaze]

shoot them

[sleek kraken]

It's kinda disgusting

[zenith blaze]

they open up and give super credits sometimes

[zenith blaze]

thats just

zen existing now.

[sleek kraken]

Even before his big 30% discord

Snap kick sends her so far she can't hit you

Now I wanna play vendetta

Also @hidden pulsar have you tried just playing brawl vendetta

It's an easier way to get into her

[cold musk]

i was in a mission eariler n something dropped n i got blown to piceses

guess that was a hellbomb

these warbonds are like no fomo szn passes right

[hollow gulch]

Kind of, but all the gear you get from them are actual relevant new weapons and armor alongside the cosmetics

[cold musk]

theres one warbond i want but i cant find it

it has like horns on the helmet

[sleek kraken]

Relevant is a way to say it

[loud compass]

urban legend and master of ceremony are the only ones with what i could being mistaken as horns

[cold musk]

https://youtu.be/u7ecG54FJQc?t=2641

russianbadger is using it

[loud compass]

thats the super citizen edition armor

20$ upgrade that comes with the armor, a helldivers p90 and a warbond token

[cold musk]

ty ty ^^

[hidden pulsar]

As in like just trying to front line with my team?

[zenith blaze]

yeah

[hidden pulsar]

Yeah

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t

[zenith blaze]

thats how it be

if your tank is a dive or a brawl themselves, its great

[hidden pulsar]

Vendetta’s pixel spray seems pretty tricky to get

I’ve also yet to get her cute spray either

[sleek kraken]

It's not that bad ngk

Ngl

[hidden pulsar]

I got Freja’s cute spray though

[balmy mason]

It's year of the honse

https://tenor.com/view/kavaler-honse-gif-1474655983746461963

[pseudo sparrow]

I got Mizuki's pixel and cute

[fossil patrol]

For the sake of the lesbians

We must be prepared to fight

[sleek kraken]

@hidden pulsar peep game

[blissful pagoda]

i did all i could

[woeful lark]

People still refuse to counter vendetta a whole season later

[sleek kraken]

They swapped cass junkrat right after ngl

Still won though

[weary silo]

anomaly

[red slate]

how does man have previous bp stuff when they released with the current run

[sleek kraken]

Everyone gets universal emotes

Kinda in the name

[red slate]

shouldnt that always be available

thats just like FOMO pro max

[sleek kraken]

It's an emote

You'll live

[red slate]

guess my blizzcon bastion is safe then

[red slate]

i find it very difficult to get potg as JQ now

used to get it every game like 2 years ago

[hollow mica]

debuff reducer and ragebait

@fringe surge i found another guy whos around same progression as us, asking if u wanna prog steel path together?

at the very least u and me need to catch up to new war, so lmk if u wanna do it whenever

(Obviously u can just catch up easily, its just normal mission with cutsceenes)

[cold musk]

Holy moly cyberstan super helldiver is insane

[sleek kraken]

Yea shits rough

[cold musk]

playing with my high lvl friends

n they threw me into superhelldiver on cyberstant

alsoi

im lvl 8 but could unlock the lvl 28 bastion tank?

[sleek kraken]

Odd

[fossil patrol]

level 8 in super helldiver

trial by fire holy fuck

[cold musk]

And I somehow exfilled in most too we did like 4 n I failed once

That was the most chaotic thing I think I’ve ever done but it was so good

[fringe surge]

Playing at my own pace rn

Probs not going into steel path that soon yet

Gonna try unlock everything and get stuff done to set myself up

[hollow mica]

why do the new MK fatality vids all have green blood

[mental brook]

Honestly I genuinely thought that was a 67 thing then

My eyes widened

[mental brook]

I think it's mainly cause some platforms won't give you money or anything over the slightest bit of swearing and blood

All their marketing recently is really pushing the narrative that you are gonna be dying a lot

[blissful pagoda]

oh wow that looks really really good

is the server slam free to try, or is it only for those pre-ordering?

[balmy mason]

FFA

[blissful pagoda]

ok i'll give it a try

[balmy mason]

You should also check out their gameplay clips on the channel

[empty estuary]

Chinese playtest impressions from a week or two ago were that bungie is gunning hard for the harcore extraction shooter audience, not the casual audience Arc Raiders has attracted

[balmy mason]

Yeah they are pushing for what Arc couldn't provide

There's a civil war going on within Arc community

[mental brook]

"From the creators of halo and destiny" had to sprinkle in halo just to let us know they did something good

[wooden kettle]

I honestly do hope Marathon does well, Bungie had it rough with the earlier controversy around the art.

[empty estuary]

And also the game just being bad

[wooden kettle]

Yeah.

[balmy mason]

Well they do have good gunplay

[balmy mason]

It was blown out of proportion

[empty estuary]

Nah

[fossil patrol]

Only brought up these days by those with are looking for excuses to dislike Bungie, rather than disliking Bungie for something

[empty estuary]

That was like the 5th time bungie has stolen art

[blissful pagoda]

oh my god

[empty estuary]

And they keep saying theyre gonna do better and then they get caught stealing art again

[fossil patrol]

especially if you decided to brush past the surface level

I mean shit, I go on Twitter (I know I shouldn't) and see people use words like "Bungie stole from them" having clearly not read up on the situation.

[blissful pagoda]

[hidden pulsar]

Nice

[balmy mason]

I meant the Antireal situation specifically

[empty estuary]

The outrage was justified

[fossil patrol]

I should get into deadlock...

[blissful pagoda]

i love playing as a ruthless capitalist

[fossil patrol]

Silver looks cool, venator too

[balmy mason]

Her work was used in the texture pack, which is true. But a lot of people acted as if they stole the whole art direction

Which is dumb

[empty estuary]

Its the internet, youre always gonna have the dumb vocal minority in every controversy, thats not being counted for

[blissful pagoda]

it's not, it's just a small piece

which makes the theft so much weirder

they already had an established visual style

anyways

[blissful pagoda]

they are cool

[empty estuary]

The art theft was still ridiculous and bungie was rightfully raked over the coals for it, because at this point they might as well be the ones breaking into the lourve

[blissful pagoda]

Silver is either the weakest or the strongest

[fossil patrol]

Additionally, it wasn't Bungie stealing it, but an employee. Yes, they should have actually checked if it was stolen or not, but thinking it was anything but incompetence is concerning levels of cynicism that would make me genuinely worried for someone.

[fossil patrol]

So I've seen

But werewolf funny

Ergo

I wanna play silver

[blissful pagoda]

Venator is really

[fossil patrol]

His crossbow seems... Potent.

[blissful pagoda]

what is the vatican had an armed forces

[empty estuary]

I have not seen any other company struggle so badly with rampant plagiarism like bungie, its so weird

[blissful pagoda]

his crossbow is potent

[fossil patrol]

The power of Christ compels you from a distance

[blissful pagoda]

maxed level crossbow just does true damage and has a pretty generous execute threshold.

[empty estuary]

Its even more frustrating developers like DE go out of their way to empower artists

[blissful pagoda]

and max level shotgun lets you do the same amount of damage as a crossbow shot

for your melee

true damage

[fossil patrol]

Goddman

Das a lot

[blissful pagoda]

and all you have to do is bait some idiot into being near a wall so the shotgun can knock them back into it for a stun

[fossil patrol]

Pun typo

[balmy mason]

Yeah I think there's some truth to their official statement. They probably followed Antireal as a reference for their art direction.

[blissful pagoda]

he's a bit hard to play, not as hard as silver, i would say. but missing the crossbow bolt makes you feel like the biggest loser for 2 minutes

[fossil patrol]

Think like a realist and a pragmatist, and it makes the official statement mostly sound.

[balmy mason]

But picturing the art director telling his employees to use Antireal work specifically and hope that she won't find out is very dumb

[blissful pagoda]

silver is just goofy once she maxes out her werewolf form

[fossil patrol]

Rationale does away with most cynicism

[blissful pagoda]

every kill just heals and refreshes the duration which is already pretty generous

[fossil patrol]

Cynicism tends to rather explicitly require a lack of it.

[fossil patrol]

Something something on-topic void buff

[blissful pagoda]

so she can very easily snowball into a 1v6 if the enemy team doesn't pack counteritems

[fossil patrol]

Must feel.... cathartic if you get that off

Reminds me of that bomb build I've seen

[blissful pagoda]

i think?

i never got that to happen

[fossil patrol]

Potion of makes you explode

[blissful pagoda]

i just play mcginnis and ignore her entire skillset except for her walls

because gun

[fossil patrol]

The wall is essentially "no no, let's fight, I insist."

[blissful pagoda]

its such a bastard move too

[hollow rampart]

yall got any good game recommendations singleplayer works as well dont know wha to play

[blissful pagoda]

especially if your opposing 2 are just slightly far apart

and you just get to isolate them!

Since you didn't specify a genre or anything, I'd recommend Hello Kitty Island Adventure

[empty estuary]

Ah highguard was a tencent game

Carry on

[balmy mason]

Huh?

[gloomy lagoon]

Wasn't it "Epic sponsored" IIRC?

[empty estuary]

Nah, its funding came from tencent, a reliable journalist just broke that info

[gloomy lagoon]

well.... F

Highguard apparently didn't "learn" from the epic flop

known as "Concord" (?)

speaking of.....

I heard OW2 got killed?

and replaced by "OW classic"?

[wispy tundra]

What

[empty estuary]

Its just Overwatch again

[wispy tundra]

They just renamed the game again for the second relaunch

[empty estuary]

They learned from their dogass marketing push

[gloomy lagoon]

They didn't learn from what occured with Fortnite StW

if you don't have a full PvE campaign, there's no point in rename/rebranding

and they thought they were CS:GO

[wispy tundra]

What

[empty estuary]

CS2 was after Ow2, and it also got lambasted for the same reason

[wispy tundra]

Are you aware that fortnite save the world came first

[gloomy lagoon]

CS 2 is basically "CS:GO" but with actual upgrades to the engine to be "worthy enough"

[gloomy lagoon]

the whole mistake was that "Launch a doomed PvE Mode"

[empty estuary]

Ow2 had engine upgrades too

[empty estuary]

The pve mode was the entire game

[wispy tundra]

The "doomed PvE" mode was the entire game

Battle Royale was released much later and randomly blew up

[gloomy lagoon]

Ugh, how did I phrase it poorly :/

[empty estuary]

StW was in development since 2011, they jumped ship and made BR as fast as they possibly could

[gloomy lagoon]

Basically, what I meant by "doomed" was thinking PvE would attract people if they were going to dumpster abandon it for PvP cash-grab

[empty estuary]

They thought pve was gonna attract people cause that was the entire game

[upbeat dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-gif-26499993

[gloomy lagoon]

and it didn't because they chased after PvP cashgrab

[empty estuary]

Well no

[wispy tundra]

Also ow2 was planning to have an actual pve campaign and that was the whole selling point to begin with until blizzard made them cancel it

[empty estuary]

It didnt resonate with people even at launch before they were even thinking of BR

[gloomy lagoon]

they moved most of the PvE team to BR, but they left the hamster wheel. Post BR

like.... they COULD had improved the PvE side

[wispy tundra]

Part of why overwatch is having another resurgence is because the overwatch team unionized last year so they actually have pull to do what is best for their game now

[empty estuary]

They did try to

[gloomy lagoon]

Ik

I'm still hurt

😭

like I went half shezo when I saw what they did to update Powerlevels

Skong

speaking of.... I do have OW, but like.... can I finally play it?

[vagrant summit]

No

[gloomy lagoon]

like there isn't another controversy right?

in the admin side

because every time I've installed OW, there was a controversy that got lore dropped

[upbeat dirge]

what?

[wispy tundra]

What

[vagrant summit]

It's blizzard. They're always 2 months away from something incredibly stupid and generally morally dubious

[gloomy lagoon]

once was the frat-boy culture stuff

[wispy tundra]

Do you get your news from asmongold or something I'm so lost

[gloomy lagoon]

several other times was like the layoffs

[gloomy lagoon]

ew

I don't watch that roach

[empty estuary]

I mean its not a secret that overwatch and blizzard has had some really deplorable people associated with it

[gloomy lagoon]

another time was the Taiwan censorship

[empty estuary]

Especially in the past couple weeks what we learned about ABK

[gloomy lagoon]

I was personally angry, since my extended family are ALL in Taiwan. And my parents were the "weirdos" who decided to move off from the island

[upbeat dirge]

I don’t even know what that is

[gloomy lagoon]

basically it was misogynist stuff going on at blizzard

think the biggest one was the whole cowboy guy re-rename

I can't recall his name

Mac something

[empty estuary]

Jesse McCree

[upbeat dirge]

I see

[gloomy lagoon]

apparently the REAL Jesse McCree was a terrible person (Blizzard office)

[upbeat dirge]

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t get how that’d deter me from playing the game

[wispy tundra]

It has also been like 3 years since Bobby Kotick left and he was the primary cause of all of that

[gloomy lagoon]

Basically show disapproval of what's going at dev HQ by seeing lower active people

sorta like how people are currently jumping ship from Discord

[upbeat dirge]

I mean yeah I can say I don’t approve of it but I still enjoy the game to a degree and I want to keep playing it, the discord situation is something entirely different

[wispy tundra]

Nobody performatively leaving discord is going to stay gone for longer than a month because all those alternative apps either suck more or will run out of money

[empty estuary]

Hes still associated with ABK even now under the guise of charity work

[gloomy lagoon]

I firmly believe that "admin" should not exist unless they actively partake in the process

[wispy tundra]

But he doesn't have control over any part of the company

[gloomy lagoon]

it's called "soft power"

[empty estuary]

Hes still in it tho

And youre absolutely off your rocker if you think Bobby Kotick isnt still holding any influence in the company he was the ceo of

[gloomy lagoon]

^

there's the thing called "private business"

where agreements are just "friendly meetups"

favor trading is still a thing

[empty estuary]

Especially given its bobby kotick

[wispy tundra]

Show what you're talking about because I have literally never heard of this claim

The board of directors was dissolved and Microsoft has control now

[empty estuary]

Still a chairman of CODE

Hes still with abk in a very loose capacity

Also its bobby kotick

A guy whos deep in the countries wealthiest elite

[wispy tundra]

Okay so you're claiming CODE, a fully separate organization, somehow has influence over abk's decisions

[empty estuary]

Its bobby fucking kotick

[upbeat dirge]

Why yall misspelling NBK tsk tsk

[gloomy lagoon]

In industry, everything is connected

[empty estuary]

[wispy tundra]

You're just assuming shit because the guy is on the epstein list and acting like you have a point dawg

Yeah he's part of the separate charity nonprofit so he's making the overwatch devs sexually harass eachother using telepathy

[upbeat dirge]

I finally fixed my terraria

[wispy tundra]

Like what point are you making here

[steep frost]

Only thing wide about me is my bank account

[gloomy lagoon]

since I'm projected to save enough to get maybe a 5070

[empty estuary]

Do it sooner than later

[gloomy lagoon]

by Aug

[wispy tundra]

Him still being part of the fully separate charity org is not some mark against the entirety of abk, that's insane

[gloomy lagoon]

spend some of my student loan money on the 5070 now?

[upbeat dirge]

I dunno man

You’re pretty girthy

[empty estuary]

It definitely is

Its bobby kotick vro

[wispy tundra]

Cite your sources on what impact it has had

You're just claiming random bullshit for fun

[gloomy lagoon]

because my PC case is the NR200

[upbeat dirge]

jeez that’s small

[gloomy lagoon]

I need all the space I can, and my upgrade options NEED to be SFF

thing is.... for some absurd reason.... all the SFF GPUs are all in Taiwan/China

and I KNOW I'm not going back to Taiwan for the next +15 years 😭

[upbeat dirge]

[empty estuary]

Yeah china has a major gpu smuggling ring going on rn

[gloomy lagoon]

at this point, my Tri-citizenship might become mono-citizenship

Taiwan + US passport goodbye

[steep frost]

Yeah you wouldn’t know much when it comes to money

We know

[upbeat dirge]

alright bro

[empty estuary]

Spag just trades shiny objects for resources

[upbeat dirge]

We’re using Labubus and Coronas as forms of currency out here

[gloomy lagoon]

do they take Pokemon holos?

"what's wrong with Ohio"

"Everything" My older sibling's State is the only reason that could explain why she's incapable of housework

oh yeah

RIP Gabecube

thought it was going to release this year

[rancid karma]

I wanted to get it as my first actual pc but I got sick of waiting

So I just got a gaming laptop

[gloomy lagoon]

....

ok not to really judge

[empty estuary]

Steam deck is dead rn too

[rancid karma]

It was cheap

[gloomy lagoon]

but.... it was mid-range right?

[empty estuary]

Shits out of stock cause of the ram shit

[rancid karma]

And it runs modded mc

Oh Gabecube you mean?

[gloomy lagoon]

yer laptop

[empty estuary]

So now the Switch 2 is the best handheld on market for price and availability 😭

[rancid karma]

Yeah it’s mid range

Was only like

$430?

[gloomy lagoon]

GPU spec?

[steep frost]

Thank god I got mine

[rancid karma]

Uhhhhh

Lemme check

[empty estuary]

Real

[gloomy lagoon]

I was tempted to get white SD

[upbeat dirge]

thank god I didn’t get one

[empty estuary]

Die

[gloomy lagoon]

but didn't have the $$$ 💔

tbh... I was kinda waiting off for SD refresh

[rancid karma]

I think it’s a rtx 4050 if that’s what you mean I don’t really know much about computers tbh

[gloomy lagoon]

ok, for $450, that's about a good "steal price"

on the lower underpowerd side

[rancid karma]

Dkay found it for me because apparently acer does like bulk sales and shi

[gloomy lagoon]

but that's basically the price of buying any xx60 Nvidia class card aroudn MSRP

[gloomy lagoon]

ah, Pog Acer

always got Acer

[rancid karma]

Was gonna get this other one it was somewhat cheaper but it had ddr4 ram instead of ddr5

[upbeat dirge]

you’ll never know

[gloomy lagoon]

just a tad curious, what name is the laptop?

like model/year

[rancid karma]

Oop I was wrong about price

I got the photo

[gloomy lagoon]

ah, the Nitro

[rancid karma]

All I wanted a pc for was to play modded mc

And it runs modded mc so I’m happy

[gloomy lagoon]

it's a great line for just "playing on the go" anything pre-2020 IIRC

because it isn't power hungry

[rancid karma]

I mean the battery does run down fast

[upbeat dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-laptop-user-portable-gaming-laptop-be-like-gif-27191601

[gloomy lagoon]

yeah

[rancid karma]

But it’s a gaming laptop

[rancid karma]

Hey man I can play it in a car so

[gloomy lagoon]

for me, I got a "gaming" laptop that I probably slightly overpaid, but it's more closer to "workstation" than "gaming"

Acer Aspire 7 (2024)

[rancid karma]

My old laptop I had was a pure work laptop

[gloomy lagoon]

Paid more to remove "gamer bling"

[rancid karma]

It was some hp laptop that has only 8gb of ram and its gpu only had 256 mb of memory

[empty estuary]

I cant wait to be done getting everything to fully finish my rig

Ive been loving it, cant wait to see it when its done cosmetically

[gloomy lagoon]

like I didn't want a laptop that screams "I can game RAAA"

[rancid karma]

I gave it to me mom since she needs one at home sometimes

[gloomy lagoon]

and I had to disguise it as an "ordinary" laptop to my late mom

[rancid karma]

I don’t really mind it

It looks purty

[gloomy lagoon]

well, it was more about the weird edges

for me

[upbeat dirge]

what more does it need

[rancid karma]

Fair

[gloomy lagoon]

and plus.... I didn't need RGB

[rancid karma]

The only rgb thing I have is my mouse I think

[gloomy lagoon]

classic white backlit keyboard was all I needed

only RGB is on my expensive keyboard

[rancid karma]

And it’s just cause the logo on it can change colors and shi

[gloomy lagoon]

hold on, I think I've posted it here

[empty estuary]

I want strimmers and another screen

[upbeat dirge]

fuck are strimmers

[empty estuary]

Hang on

[upbeat dirge]

also do you really have the space for another monitor?

What does the keyboard sound like

[upbeat dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/yellow-emoji-no-no-emotiguy-no-no-no-gif-gif-9742000569423889376

[gloomy lagoon]

muted, used FR4 plates + foam + FFFF Tactiles

[rancid karma]

I see

For a keyboard I’d want a little noise because I find the tapping a little satisfying

[gloomy lagoon]

like it's MORE silent, but not dead silent

how do I phrase it.... slightly louder than a laptop keyboard typing?

but not as gross as blues

hold on..... I do have a macropad coming in sometime this year

leme see if I can find a photo

[rancid karma]

I wanna get one of those

[gloomy lagoon]

$100 🤣

[rancid karma]

Where da keys

[gloomy lagoon]

for this joke

[gloomy lagoon]

it's coming soon

I'm waiting for it to arrive

[rancid karma]

I see

[gloomy lagoon]

plan for it is to be a "delete button" macro

[rancid karma]

Are macropads generally expensive?

[gloomy lagoon]

generally "no"

but this one was an absolute joke

and more of a novelty piece

like ISO Enter keys

so much from my keycap sets

[rancid karma]

I see

[gloomy lagoon]

and most custom boards use ANSI for the small enter

[rancid karma]

It would be nice to have one bc mc has so many fucking binds

[wispy tundra]

Much cheaper materials and less machine time so they should be pretty cheap on avg but also pretty niche so lower quantity, kinda depends

[gloomy lagoon]

additionally, most of the time the "general" macropad should be along the lines of 30-50

based on if it's just switches with no layers

[wispy tundra]

These days shit like this exists if you don't care about machined aluminum case and shit

[gloomy lagoon]

yep

unless you got something VERY specific in mind

you'll almost never break beyond $80 for a macropad

[wispy tundra]

There's also ripoff stream decks for cheap nowadays

I like those more as a macropad personally

[rancid karma]

I mean I wanna stream dark and darker so it would be nice to have some stream button shi on it

[gloomy lagoon]

ah snap

surface is almost out of power

BRB to find a poweroutlet

[hollow mica]

hello, mr.strimmer

[wispy tundra]

I should mention at least that numpad is fully remappable so it'll do whatever, you might want something more in line with the stream deck ripoffs and shit though

[steep frost]

I thought about getting one of these just for some extra buttons

[wispy tundra]

Being able to change what the button legends are is nicer imo but the software on the ripoff ones varies in quality

[steep frost]

Because I’m an idiot and bought a 60%

[wispy tundra]

Yea I think a 60% plus a separate numpad for your csgo buy binds and similar is nice to have

[gloomy lagoon]

figured you needed a 70-75%?

as you needed F-row?

[steep frost]

No I just wanted a wooting

[gloomy lagoon]

LMAO

[steep frost]

I love it

[gloomy lagoon]

wasn't Wooting the one that had like the "cheat strafing" thingy?

[upbeat dirge]

L bozo

[steep frost]

Most keyboards have that now

[gloomy lagoon]

at least it wasn't a 40%

[wispy tundra]

That's just socd

[gloomy lagoon]

how do those people function without their modifiers

[steep frost]

You probbaly play on a block of wood with buttons carved in it

[wispy tundra]

That implementation of socd is not allowed in some games

[upbeat dirge]

I don’t respect anyone who buys anything below at LEAST a 60%

[gloomy lagoon]

yeah, glad I'm an 80% person

[steep frost]

I just spent too much money on my board to justify spending more on another one

[gloomy lagoon]

when Jellykeys annoucned their resin food 48h group buy, I nearly folded

Did it shrink in the wash?

[wispy tundra]

Oh I actually have it bound like that

Is it cold outside?

[gloomy lagoon]

nope, it is not. You've lost your right-hand "menu" key

That's a 75%

It goes turbo mode

or those

Before Microsoft monopoly it was the super key

They stole it and made people call it the windows key

What RGB software do you use?

[empty estuary]

Signal rgb

But i also had some problems with it, so im also using the lian li software for my fans

[wanton wasp]

It's annoying how it needs an internet connection for whatever fucking reason

I'd use open RGB but I can't be arsed learning it

[empty estuary]

Rip

[vale pendant]

shawarma david comes to mind

[bright crown]

arent your fans lian li?

so shouldnt you be usin that by default?

or is signal rgb beter overall

[boreal ether]

@blissful pagoda Story in three parts

1st shot btw

[steep frost]

Signal is good for controlling everything instead of having to do individual softwares

So it’s easier for your ram and gpu to match

[bright crown]

i see

only sad part is i dont know if it works with corsair

cause icue stuff

and special animations

[steep frost]

It should work with everything

You might have to tweak icue though if you are using it

[cold musk]

Sht major order failed

so what happens if major orders fail?

[sleek kraken]

Nothing

Unless it's this one

We do not want to fuck this one up

At all.

[cold musk]

i think we have failed im not sure tho

[sleek kraken]

No we got a new one already

We have like

100 million lives to capture cyberstan

[fossil patrol]

Just dont die

[cold musk]

well i fail that alot civis fcking run n i thnik its enemys lol

[cold musk]

Lvl 6 but can own the bastion tank ?

[hidden pulsar]

It’s insane how many god awful Jetpack Cats I get when she’s so easy to actually heal on

I tried her for two matches just and did well on both

People just seem to think they have to spend every second of the match going for TikTok clips, or they think just because they can fly around the sky, they should

Stick with your team and heal them, and use your flight for escape and being manoeuvrable, not for being a sitting duck for the enemy team in the skybox

Reminds me of how people misused Storm at the beginning of Rivals

[upbeat dirge]

are you still playing quick play?

[weary steppe]

Depends on the order. It can affect the direction or outcome of the storytelling, or it could do nothing much at all.

[zenith blaze]

she honestly works super well as a backline assassin as well

insane utility, good heals, and shockingly good damage

[hidden pulsar]

Yeah. I’m not daring to touch comp until I’m more comfortable with multiple characters and multiple roles

Same with my friend

I pride myself on my ability to flex in Rivals so I want the same ability in Overwatch so I’m not a liability

I got some Illari clips, anyone wanna see them? I finally got her cute spray in one of them

[cedar pumice]

I hate that I somehow placed higher in dps and tank than support, despite the fact that I've been a support main for the past decade :/

I still don't really get Illari's ult but she's great in comp currently on defense

[weary steppe]

Union lettuce tomato

[zenith blaze]

she has big ball that places debuff on enemies, if you hit a certain damage threshold on the debuffed enemy, it causes the ball to explode and deal damage

for a support, its a really good ult

[zenith blaze]

massive play from the second clip

[hidden pulsar]

Thank

That second one might be one of my better clips from my whole career lmao

[mild night]

Yall is YouTube down for you guys?

[hidden pulsar]

Speaking of which, I’ve had a Cassidy clip saved from like years ago

god it feels so much nicer and cleaner

ok but
what armour does it replace

trailblazer and light siege ready

and i think it only replaces the lean body type armor aswell

I gave a woman a compliment

[zinc coyote]

cool??

take that happiness and squander it all away in overwatch 2 quick play

yea attachments are different assets so you can actually mod them separately if u want

[empty estuary]

Almost 94 cooking on runescape

[weary steppe]

I need to try and regain my account >_>

[loud compass]

https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/11195 talk about nifty...

[weary steppe]

But the damn thing's from 2005 or 2006 and on a dead email link and from like 8 house moves ago and Jagex's account protection is too good so my only hope is getting into some form of direct communication haha

[empty estuary]

Might as well just start over on Old School until the fix mainline RS

Cause mainline RS is kinda not good rn

Though they finally removed microtransactions at least

[weary steppe]

Perhaps, but I'd like to run the gauntlet anyway. 20 year old account. Might not have even gotten a single 99, but it'd be nice to get back into the swing of things with that bit of childhood history, y'know?

[empty estuary]

You can merge accounts once you recover your old one

I have my og account put into my new one

[weary steppe]

Well, that's good to know. I'll consider it! Thanks.

[empty estuary]

Mainline RS is also gonna be a huge system shock because the game is entirely different compared to how youd remember it from back then, so Old School would fit that childhood memory more

Cause mainline is more like a traditional mmo now

yay

[weary steppe]

Less than you'd expect. I have played RS3, I just lost access to the account.

[empty estuary]

ah

[weary steppe]

i was at the battle of lumbridge

[empty estuary]

slowly getting to 1k total

nvm i completed a quest that gave hella ranged xp and now my total level 1002

[cold musk]

trying to just lvl p in hd2 n some reason we tped to our ship

[empty estuary]

i really need to be done with 99 cooking so i can work on leveling my combat skills

im itching to start raiding

i miss raiding in the game that shant be named

[zenith blaze]

landing.is scary

[empty estuary]

real

just gotta take it very slow

[zenith blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/jam-gif-3385964454786629222

it just feels like this

i have acquired the raft on rental and just been doing stuff with it

funny enough, it kinda reminds me of one of my ships i made in no mans sky

[empty estuary]

Its so good

It also has a tractor beam on it which is good for two man hauling

[cold musk]

Found out why we kept getting sent to our ships

I was joining farmers getting credits

[empty estuary]

Are joining diff 1 missions?

[cold musk]

Just goine to random ongoing missions

[empty estuary]

Yeah but what difficulty do you have selected

It prioritizes the diffiulty youve chosen

[cold musk]

Easiest one iirc

[empty estuary]

Yeah dont play diff 1 missions, theres nothing going on, its a tutorial difficulty

[cold musk]

Friends threw me into cyberstan super helldiver yesterday

That was insane

And im only lvl 8

[empty estuary]

Go for like 3-6 in difficulty and you wont deal with farmers and you wont be falling asleep playing the game

[cold musk]

Old pic but I could buy the bastion while i was lvl 6

Iirc it’s a lvl 25 unlock

[empty estuary]

You will want to farm or buy super credits at some point though, those unlocks will help you heavily with adjusting to the higher difficulties

But theres plenty to use in the base game thats viable

Democratic Detonation is pretty much the best warbond for new players but theres an argument to be made for a ton of them

Starting over on pc i actually went for servants of freedom as one of my first warbonds

[cold musk]

i bought my the self force of law bc i liked the armour

[weary steppe]

It does look good, but the armour is kind of a worse combination of Extra Padding and Fortified.

[empty estuary]

Also if you wanna survive better in any difficulty, learn to dive stim

Its the best way to pop a stim with no worry of getting flinched out of the action (unless you get ragdolled by an explosion or something)

[weary steppe]

Though being mid-dive still counts as prone for explosive damage reduction, so even then it's good

[sleek kraken]

I'm gonna put you on some heat here

Start using guard dogs

Actual peak fiction

[empty estuary]

Also i totally forgot mechs can be used to solo bunkers so i dont even need the warp pack bond

[sleek kraken]

Get siege breakers for the leveller

[empty estuary]

I got siege breakers with my super citizen upgrade

Figured id buy the upgrade for the warbond token and the other goodies since i played the game so much on xbox

[sleek kraken]

Fair

[empty estuary]

Idk which bond ill get next

Im sorely missing the dust devils armor after diving with those flamer bots pre-cyberstan

But i also kinda want the stealthbond

[loud compass]

u can grab freedom flame armor from the super store if u dont have any

theres a medium set and heavy set

[sleek kraken]

Stealthbond is like

Fine

You Could definitely live without it though

[empty estuary]

i love ghost diving and the c4 pack is perfect for that

[sleek kraken]

Fair

[empty estuary]

thats why i went with servants of freedom first

[sleek kraken]

I'm a loud and proud typa guy though

That's why I want an explosive gatling barrage

[weary steppe]

True, it's definitely niche, but it's pretty huge for that niche

Admittedly stealth is 80% for Bots over other factions
Though it can be good to avoid Watchers

[empty estuary]

being able to sweep the objectives fast and hard is just too satisfying for me

[weary steppe]

Believe it or not, I really enjoyed the Gunslinger armour. I bring the Verdict to almost all of my Bot battles because I love having a strong reliable sidearm to take out anything short of a Hulk.

Sure, it's not the best choice by leagues, but the Medium armour looks fantastic.

I really enjoy seeing the metal hand in 1st person when using the Epoch haha

The Verdict also the perfect thing to pair with the Eruptor. It's nice having a gun that won't kill me or my allies when I fire it.

'Course, I don't use it when I bring a Marksman Rifle, since it's redundant.

i would argue its the best bot warbond if ur objective is quick clean operations

when i go stealth mode i solo most of the map while the other 3 divers are dying on loop outside the walls

Plus going full Sam Fisher is its own kind of fun haha

Also, Smoke? Very underrated.

I do that normally ngl

whenever i do it without the armor i usually somehow die to a cannon turret that sees me from across the map or a vox

[sleek kraken]

I run heavy python commando normally

also less bot drops when you can take out enemies quiet, tho it is a bit to cqc to consistently stealth unless ur taking out 3 warstriders on every point

warp+sledge and stealth armor is what i use

even sometimes run light armor tho that can make extract dicey

[sleek kraken]

I run guard dog leveller
