Sure but I cant promise ill do you any good
Fr fr

Lemme uh update my nvidia driver rq I havent done that in ages lmfao
OH LMAO
I got downed, tried to ping and shit blew up
did you get DCd mid fight 😭
bro GO AWAY
hey uh. new Pokemon game got announced. I don't like the startera
Poo, turd and feces
Hey that dog looks cute
Is that not fake? We literally got each of these
The chic too
winds and waves
one flying starter
no fish starter?
what are we doing anymore
Knockoff Rowlet, Fennekin and the water lizard from Shield
@tender helm hit me up once youre back
"knockout rowlet"
and it's just a bird
An so few details
But they just had to go with a grass type chick again
It looks like they took off a layer of detail from two of them
ur a bird
I wish
oh dear
pombom or whatever
I wonder what country it'll be based on
because it's kinda unclear right now
lemme invite
Water starter just seems like their final evo is going to be a mix of Salazzle and Greninja.

maybe they're going back to Japan and it'll be Okinawa or something
somewhere fairly tropical
They literally look like pals bruh
Not a fan of the grass starter tbh. Looks like a wild encounter bird
Offbrand Rowlet
Water starter I'm meh about
I never played Sun and Moon
All 3 look like something that's been done before ngl
That’s what I’m saying
I went from playing GBA to Switch when it came to pokemon.
Instead of this they should really take some time, several years to develop something proper and fresh for Pokémon, and not half-assed slop
I only revisited some of the DS pokemon much later.
I suppose after almost 30 years, the Pokémon design team finally ran out of creativity
Because I didn't have a DS growing up.
Imma keep it a buck, that's never been a good argument.
I just hate that they look straight out of Palworld
Oh how the tables have turned
I know people who have argued that the pokemon design team ran out of creativity post gen 3.
And I know others who argue gen 1 is the only pokemon gen, like my cousin.
Games that brought such bangers like... rock with arms.
Game peaked at X and Y, and never recovered
That's the problem, people keep having different opinions on that.
I still think Platinum is the best Pokemon we've ever gotten.
And that's the peak, but there has been ups and downs post that game.
usum are like the best Pokemon has been
See, this is exactly my point.
That’s gonna be with anything honestly. But at least we’re all in pretty much agreement that these new designs don’t look good.
it also just really aligns with "what Pokemon generation did you grow up with"
I mean, I don't like two out of the 3 designs.
I think the dog and lizard are ok, I'm gonna need to see what the bird evolves into
these have been the most basic looking starters in a long time
But like, there's a bunch of pokemon I do not care for their designs as far as starters go.
maybe ever
Litten for instance. Don't care for it. Its final evo is fine.
But its base is kinda scrungly looking.
I kind of hate Snivy's design, but Serperior looks sick af
So, I'm sure my opinion may change as we see the evos
But for now, the dog's adorable, the water one's meh, and the grass one's kinda ugly.
im not a fan of a lot of pokemon designs but that's just how it is
like i feel like every gen people complain about the starters and say they look fanmade
i been seeing that since gen 3
Trust me, that happened before that too. When Gen 3 came out, my cousin complained about it.
He already didn't like Gen 2.
And I loved Gen 2
part of it is just the 3d models looking weird too ngl
the 2d renders look fine even if i dont like the designs of them upfront
i felt the same way about rowlet and yet decidueye is one of my favorite starter evos
You know what would be nice? A hand drawn 2d pokemon game.
honestly though i think theyve been doing a lot better with pokemon designs as of gen 9
I like legends ZA but a lot of parts are weirdly oversaturated and they don’t look like the actual art at all
i feel like gen 9 doesnt have many outright misses concept-wise
Like look at mega Golisopod
Pretty cool but doesn’t look too different from the og
But then they released the art and like good god
It’s completely different
i do have a deep seated hatred for tatsugiri though because it keeps wiping my emerald rogue runs
The model’s colors don’t look like this at all
Also maybe it could get water bubble as an ability 
nothing against tatsugiri itself but it keeps showing up at level 15 with draco meteor and oneshotting my front mon and it's such ragebait
roguelike moment
i know this is a joke but the triple A industry i feel kinda does this judging by the amount of trend chasing games do
too bad games take very long to develop and if you are not the trend setter by the time your game comes out the "trend" has already gotten stale af
i mean
are mobas a trend rn
deadlock is popping off and that's kinda it
I tried Deadlock, I might just not like Mobas.
I really like the character designs though.
my only experience with mobas was the first dota
the time needed to reach the skill floor kinda too high for me x_x
Yeah, when I hopped on Deadlock, I expected a hero shooter to scratch the Overwatch itch. Didn't get that.
I did redownload Overwatch, begrudgingly.
i feel like mobas are a genre that is difficult to get in as a solo newbie, you need friends to play with you to get some enjoyment out of the newbie experience i feel
I mean, I do have friends playing it
Even then, I didn't enjoy it even with them.
I do wish for its success though. It seems like a fantastic game. One that is just not for me.
I remember watching that DotA 2 documentary by Valve (?) years ago
It was pretty cool
R6 is a great game
I love it
https://fxtwitter.com/4MORI4N/status/2027400430813384785 @empty estuary
I won't be able to watch the stream live sadly cause work
But I cant wait
Well…
You can leave the stream on for drops
It’s always that kind of “fan art”
So true that it makes me wanna play siege again
Big lady!
Not saying im hard carrying out here but damn
4 kills, we out here showing off
Actually I did one res too idk why it didnt count that
4th or so round too lmao
I’ve exfilled 1/5 games so far, of the non ai matches
Ai matches?
Oh you mean the tutorial?
There are other players in the beginner map
No
Just less than the regular variant of that map
Ah. Idk how to see rosters
So what do you do with Salvage items?
I def wiped people on the beginner map
They say what they do in the description
Another classic destiny 2 player moment
You absolute nerd
With beginner map we are talking Perimeter right?
Perimeter (beginner) specifically
Otherrwise there is no difference between dire and perim outside of contracts
But spent 20 minutes looking for the computer on one of the quest steps and never found it
Aaah
Oh yeah those can be rought
I remember a few from the beta but it's rocky
The description is so hard to read though
I know it's at least like 2 sentences
Absolute madness if you ask me
They don’t really separate the lore bit from the actual use
Oh I thought you were joking
There 2 line breaks lmao
When's the last time you read something other than a tiktok ? :p
No I agree with all the UI comments I’ve seen
I don’t have one
Fit in whatever short form content you consume then
Ok, then it was Dune Messiah
Just a little bit of gaming
Thinking everyone here is a Gen Z short form watcher smh
Wonder if it’s possible to mod re4 and remove Ashley
She’s the best part tho
Idk when 2 clearly defined paragraphs is too much I dont assume the gen, but I definitely assume the book reading capabilities
Hello chat
there is literally a different page that shows the story and objectives
It’s not too much, but they have the same type face and everything. Atp i don’t even have enough time to be reading the mods, im just grabbing everything from every crate
And since I expect to die, I don’t concern myself with the tiers
🔥
I guess all that dedicated server talk didn't resolve anything
if i see a baboon im gonna have a traumatic response
I mean the point of this event is to test out the server load
Weasel mid run, now I can't get pass the login screen. All Chicken
Hence the name
I cant wait
ah yes, John Marathon Server Slam

Nah this has been happening for me over in [redacted] as well
It aint the same games btw
when was the last time a game made another game download
i wouldnt be surprised if the servers are linked somehow
These 2 things have no link whatsoever
Ever since the Star Wars DLC, I have issue 9 times out of 10 every single time I try to login to [redacted]
Ofc theres the same error codes, it's a standard I'd hope they spread company wide
She looks cool
😭
I have barely had any issues since that one DLC
But thats not the point
Ey bro I could have called that months in advance
Maybe the problem is your location or smth and the routing?

Considering how they did a private event in China of all places, I had hoped they would put more effort into an Asia based server
But I guess that's too much of a hope
I have never seen a game do an Asia based event or something when they're doing something in China
So yeah, unfortunately that was some major cope
Honestly I absolutely love her design already
Im already STUPIDLY happy we got bbw warframe
Like actual big woman
Im loving it
Epic mickey frame
Hope she is good
Like how nokko is kinda meta
when 75%
i love when i play with arc raiders players who just complain about how hard this game is

Very much so yubs
There will be absolution.

HERE WE FINALLY GO
SOON
JANSEN FINALLY BACK
AND SENTIENT MUSHROOM CLOUD
I SEE THE EYES AND NOSE
@bright crown Cat
DID YOU SEE THE NEW POKEMON
THE STARTERS ARE SO CUTE
POMBON SUPREMACY

Fat
Skinny queen
Sandy actually feels so light if you try to pick her up
Moon feels like a tungsten cube
Calorie dense creature
LMAOOO
Wind and Waves actually looks really solid visually
But after Scarlet and Violet theres no way im buying that shit at launch
Im not 
They both have unlimited access to food
They dont eat like pigs which is nice
I think its just cause sandys getting older
so.... new pokemon is located where
kinda sad that we've got no more cell shading art style now :/
sice I've never really liked the texture/lighting effects of SV
What if the waves were wuthering

I don't know why you guys expected anything but Bungie with this
what do we think the point of running a beta called the server slam is when it shows server issues arising
Should hesitate to buy until we figure out if they actually do fix it, but one of the main reasons for the server slam was this
Y'all don't understand
Not saying that just because they're testing this out it means its all find and dandy and you should totally buy the game
I've been having these very same issue since [redacted]
but... it might be fixed?
the weasel errors with marathon rn are fairly widespread and seem to have started last night
bungie staff would have just gotten into the office like 40 minutes ago if that
¯_(ツ)_/¯
eh i doubt it's bad enough to warrant not buying
Beaver included?
may you have Guitar?
The whole cast
This is tiring
MaraFLOP
I've been dealing with this crap for years

since halo right?
bungie hasn't done anything since halo
Dev stream today chat
the next concord fr 
yes
man i just hate the impact concord has had on the industry
Concord was soo last Overwatch 2
It should be Highguard

im convinced paul tassi doesnt even play games he just looks at steam charts
only good from Paul Tassi was his abyssmal luck when trying to farm "The Other Half"
I was actually hoping he would had to go as far as 150 runs
i just hope bungie stands firm and doesnt try to warp marathon into appeasing the kind of people complaining about not being able to "buildcraft" within the first 2 hours of the game
i hope they don't try to appease to the arc raiders players
i got some people earlier who were saying it's too hard and will flop
it has its issues but it has been so refreshing to play a game that has a clear vision
Tbh, the only amount of "buildcrafting" I see that would work is just being gun specific attachments for recoil/feel preferences
I think the community is aligned with what bungie wants marathon to be so far given one of the chief complaints is "not enough pvp"
like I'll probably try marathon maybe a try after 3 months from release
after they get "cornered"
i think it's very funny that people aren't running into other players because they're getting bodied by the bots
the only good Bungie is a "cornered bungie"
the cores modify your abilities quite a bit
They should go play Highguard or something
i hope bungie doesnt actually act on this bit of feedback ngl
pvp is pretty easy to find if you want it already and if things got more player dense i think games would start feeling really frustrating
everybody's crying about the UI and clutter but it's fine really 
if i win 2-3 separate fights in a lobby i would expect by that point im like one of 3 people left in that server at all and am pretty safe to just go extract without much worry of being jumped
i just think it's kind of hard to tell what things are by item icons
the ui for the most part is fine
sure
i think they could genuinely like
scale up item icons by 10% and it'd prob fix that whole thing
maybe change a few of the problem icons that arent very distinguishable
I do find the HUD marker in the field is a bit too small
none of the weapon chips mean anything visually
I think the pvp thing is cause everyone is flocking to their quest objectives and the blood hungry players arent
it's really funny how many complaints ive seen that are completely addressed by just knowing more about the game too
all menu complaints
healing items are dirt cheap if you barter for them, same with ammo
also the people that expect the game to just hand them as much ammo as they are spending whenever they kill ai enemies because arc does it
im pretty sure there is a weapon mod you can buy from vendors really early on that does make ai enemies drop ammo on death too
A minimap would be kinda neat? one that shows allies and stuff, but its a minor thing
hmmm today i am going to go on a uesc massacre and then have no ammo
I go on dire marsh
I try to do introducing traxus
i cant fucking find the terminal
i fill my backpack in spite of my vault being full
repeat :(
every d2 player is gonna want the slideshot chip
it's up some stairs
on like a catwalk of sorts
ok yeah it does literally just exist lmao
right next to the UESC guy you'll have to kill and the crate you have to scan
in which of the locations did you find that?
there's other interesting chips too like:
seems really risky but probably makes the smgs delete people
like here-ish
Probably really good for solos
Id be more hesitant to use that in trios
i wonder how much money this actually gives
sweet, thanks!
forgor there are multiple
I wonder if those credits go straight to your wallet or if theyre a physical drop
just had my first wipe in a while
straight to wallet
Ooo
idk if they got removed but in older tests there were credit lootables that went straight to wallet too
They did
Credits found as drops are extractable only now
But you can find digital wallets lying around that are straight to your wallet i believe
Fresh cleaning wipes be like
I imagine that would be funny if i knew what the ufck those were
Which i think physical credits need to be larger stacks if im gonna use an inventory slot for them
Cause you find them in like stacks of 30 on occasion
dc'd 
they're still there
Like disposable things you use to clean stuff with
Unless you lot call them something different
some of the passives on implants are fun too
the one that buffs sprint speed when you use cardio kick is based
YES POMBON IS SO CUUUUTE I LOVE IT
ah
yeah thats funny
Im so happy its a Sw2 exclusive
And its not coming this year!
It was either that or a towel or maybe toilet paper
i never use these ngl
Theyre actually taking time with it
WOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY TAKING TIME WITH IT
AND CAUSE SW2 EXCLUSIVE IT CAN LOOK GOOD
i think if people used cardio kick more the heat debate wouldnt exist
they're so powerful
the heat debate is stupid because you literally upgrade it as you go 
cardio kick itself just gives a giant flat buff to your heat capacity and your agility stat which affects base movement speed
like yeah no shit the beginning of this extraction shooter isn't comfortable
it basically exists entirely as a way to sidestep the early game sluggishness
tbf heat capacity depends heavily on the runner too
i can see people playing only triage complaining about it
Ive been playong the same shells
meanwhile vandal has 2.5x the base heat capacity stat and 3x the agility
Getting a kill with the arm cannon was super satisfying, even if it was just against the heavy shield bot
i think thief will be really interesting to play
the grapple is incredibly powerful but that's all it really has and it has really shitty all around base stats
but the upside is the more loot you're carrying the more of a buff to your base stats you get
and it has loot xray vision
can also see if someone is wearing rare chrome hearts if they have los
so it's kinda intended for thief to avoid combat and loot goblin the early game and then run around with fat stacks in the backpack to get really huge stats and hunt people down to rob them in the midgame
https://fxtwitter.com/Sugahri/status/2027408675988525356 @empty estuary
Pombon supremacy
i want to be excited for the dog but game freak doesnt let us have cute fire starters
after they took fuecoco's hat away i dont trust them
This is really funny. Such a cool looking location and chilling speech from The Warden, the first real Ava sighting since 2024, lore

NEW: Last year, Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake. Sony didn't turn it down... but FromSoftware did.
Inside the tragic closure of Bluepoint, what they've been doing for the last five years, and why the studio was shut down: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure
The inside ...
Throwing FromSoft under the bus
yeah at this point we kind of know that it's the director
atp get modders to remake it themselfs lul
like there was NO WAY IN HELL that sony would have said no to a bloodborne remake
they remaked tlau 20 times
sony would have been fine with it coming out on the ps6 btw
waiter! more of the worst in gaming please!
and have nothing resemble the old game please!
my compliments to the chef!
it's also pretty clear that sony isn't interested in remaking any of the ps3 exclusives
unfortunately
they remastered tlau 20 times, remake is specifically rebuilding the game from the ground up
there was nothing for them to remaster either too
Another piece of key context missing there is basically everyone who knows miyazaki is pretty sure he wants to remake bloodborne himself and Sony respected his wishes with that
yep
that's why I said it's pretty clear that it's specifically the director kind of blocking any attempts to even port bloodborne
not that the game would port well, a lot of the code is tied to framerate so it would kind of blow up if you tried to uncap the framerate
the game unironically needs a remake to be ported anyway
That's a really easy problem to solve generally speaking lol
remaster
nah, basically every animation is framerate tied
it's why when people managed to port it to pc it was janky and broken unless you capped fps to 30
emulation btw
yes, they emulated it and it was basically unplayable unless you capped it to 30 fps
Ok sure, if you have the source code it's really easy to get your time deltas from the normal OS apis instead of assuming a certain time delta per frame
it's more of the issue of that it's fromsoft
Like I promise you this is a non-issue for a port
the animations and stuff being tied to framerate wasn't something they stopped doing until pretty recently
even a mod maybe
dark souls on pc is pretty shit unless you mod it due to the framerate tied things
The framerate tied things don't matter unless you uncap the framerate with mods
Again the whole issue is just where they're getting their time delta per frame from
keep in mind that a BIG reason why so many people clamor for a bloodborne remaster/remake... is because they don't want to play it at 30 fps
which unfortunately would break the game as is
remaster fixes this btw
It is a really easy thing to fix as the literal developer of the game
the fact that the director said no to even a basic remaster for ps5 says a lot
because bluepoint does have a history of doing that too
unfortunate
so yeah I'm going to give him some shit for not even giving them that concession just so the studio can keep the lights on
what does he care
they made demon souls not janky is what they did
Bluepoint had way more problems going bro lol
he doesn't owe them a job
they defaced it too
Why would you give your self described magnum opus to a studio that can't even make their own game without development hell

people who say that demon souls got defaced really need to go back and replay the original
that shit was janky
ok 
it's not even a aged poorly sort of jank
well hey believe it or not a remaster also fixes this
It's not on miyazaki to let a studio do a remaster of what he considers the strongest reflection of his type of flavoring of a game when that studio couldn't even ship the god of war game they spent years on
As long as Sony is willing to let him have the final say on bloodborne nobody else is touching it
honestly the oddest part is how they didn't pitch just remastering GoW since the assets they made ended up being reused anyway
The blue point remake is so fucking ugly
And all the animations just look weak
Bluepoint were the ones that pushed Sony to let them develop a standalone game after the success of demons souls and shadow of the colossus
it is however just weird how they couldn't figure out what to pitch in the year they had
was everything they were pitching just rejected or already had a team working on it?
is the marathon double barrel shotgun like a destiny shotgun interms of range?
honestly i'm just looking online about the comparisons about original and remake for demon souls and uh
geezus
ok yeah no that community is unhinged and I think I can pretty safely just ignore opinions from them
They tried to pitch things like a ghost of tsushima spinoff but everything was turned down because those studios would've been forced to support bluepoint's development of it
And they're having a hard enough time as is
it's weird how there was no pitch for an infamous remake or spin-off
Again, because ninja theory wants to do that themselves
They've spoken on this before
so quite literally stuck between a rock and hard place
It's very much on the list of things everyone there wants to do at some point but not the first priority
they're blocked from remastering/remaking older games because of the original teams
and they can't make an online pvp/co-op game because they don't have the team to maintain it
I promise you those studios also most likely know that bluepoint is not going to be a good partner for anything like that as of rn
Any Sony studio is well aware of how things have been going there
Bluepoint had to get Sony to make Santa Monica studio help them make the god of war spinoff and it still had to get shelved
Wasted the time of a whole other studio too
No studio wants that done to them too
they're a team that worked on remasters and then promoted to proper remakes
honestly i don't know who thought they could handle online to begin with
Bluepoint has a lot of talent and they likely won't struggle to find jobs elsewhere, I would bet Sony is offering many of them positions at some new port/remasterhouse as well
but it's probably because of the push for all ot he gaas and the heads weren't sure how to pivot because when the game was scrapped there wasn't much they could remake that would actually sell
The problem is ultimately bluepoint's management wasting literal years of time
the assets at least were reused
Even bluepoint's staffers didn't want to work on that god of war game
but i think the secondary issue of them legit being stuck with old exclusives that people actually wouldn't buy
Didn’t want to and also didn’t know it was a live service game
all of the "good" exclusives that they could remaster at least are still... "claimed" by the original teams
i think most people didn't know that the GoW spin-off was supposed to be live service
They could have just functioned as a support studio or do anything but they pretty much burnt any desire for other studios under the Sony umbrella to work with them with how the god of war spinoff was handled
one of the few good things about bungie working with sony was them getting a lot of those live service games axed when they asked the real questions
No I mean even the devs weren’t aware it was a live service game
I guarantee many of the bluepoint guys are being absorbed by studios like Santa Monica rn
probably also guerrila games
Which Sony has done before
Guerrilla is in Amsterdam so that’s a bit more difficult
it makes a LOT of sense for the team to be relocated to work on horizon games actually
since they're going ham on horizon spin-offs
it's kinda weird
it's because of the build kits
I did enjoy forbidden west but like, idk who buys them games
horizon is very marketable
as in they can make action figures, build kits, legos
soooo many set pieces
Like honestly the bluepoint situation has a lot of parallels to bungie except unlike bluepoint bungie has ip so they aren't just shutting the studio down and poaching the developer talent in order to get rid of the executives
meanwhile GoW has kratos aaaaand yeah that's it
you see a horizon dino? you know it's a horizon dino
and there is like 30 of them
Horizon only has like a few memorable Dino’s
And that’s the longneck and the endgame bosses
it's the art design
Horizon is such an industry plant game
I don't understand how it got popular enough to get Lego sets
it's because the dinos have standout designs, even for the lesser designs despite when venetia is saying
and because they're little robots they actually translate very well to lego
don't even need a whole lot of specialized parts too
I'm a little sad that the only actual build kits are with Good Smile Company
it takes a billion years for them to make new kits and to reissue them
oh you found a shotgun?
i'm still building up my arsenal
i ended up having to sell the HMG I had because it was taking up so much space and I could not find a single mod for it
one of the quests gave it to me
Why does every single game have to have a battle pass these days
i also found one during the tutorial but died with it the next game
i much prefer the arc raiders/helldivers way of doing these
2-3 pages of unlocks and u can choose what you unlock
i think marvel rivals does a similar thing just with several pages
I dislike Fortnite for this system it created
Fortnite has done more good than bad for the industry
Can’t really blame a game when the consumers are the ones consuming all of it
Ill take battlepasses for free updates over dlcs that will kill the playerbase 10x faster
Old CoDs are basically unplayble with dlcs installed because those games have to match you with people who have the same content installed
Horizon is fine, just the sequel was meh
I should've worded that better
I dislike the people actively buying said battle passes constantly
Epic games as a company are good
The consumers
Are not
we are
in fact
RUNNING THEM DOWN
They gotta wipe it probably
Also how are wipes gonna work?
It is quite disappointing to me that Scryllix's prowess as a moderator has not yet been recognised. He has been a fantastic Senior Moderator, often going above and beyond to make users feel safe. I am formally and respectfully petitioning the Administrators of this great server to consider promoting Scryllix to the esteemed status of Discord Administrator. Please heed my call and do not let this message go unheard.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,

@lavish forge
Dear all members of this beloved discord community,
After some time to gather my thoughts and align my beliefs, I would like to once again put forth a recommendation to elect @frank lodge as a new server admin.
I believe he would be a wonderful and supportive addition to your administration team and could breathe new life into this servers community.
There are many ways in which his grace and compassion has already been seen throughout his time as a Senior Moderator!!
@lavish forge please consider this message and think about this proposition carefully,
Kind Regards,
Epsso.
Do you want me to remove you both
Are people still doing this
👆

if it means @frank lodge becomes an admin, the punishment would be worth it
God's work
the hell do you mean this isnt the first time
I've seen this happen 3 times
It's really weird
I am a respectful user
i am as well
trust
I've done this like 3 times with like 6 month gaps in between 💀
chill out little bro
respectfully
3 times
@sleek kraken are these guys like notable or
Why the fuck would I know?
i dunno youre the only one who’s seen them more than once
I only keep track of blue names and above
fair enough
Not here for no fodder
I promise you they're not going to promote you to senior moderator
3 hours on Sea of Thieves, we are cooked fr

what is going on here
can they?
idk ill give them a chance
I'd say it's more enjoyable than Genshin Impact personally
frfr
why genshin?
naw its about 50/50
sea of thieves pvp is unenjoyable as fuck
youre notable
thank you i try
we don't really play the dedicated pvp mode, mostly PvE with pvp mixed in when people try to attack us
PvE sea of thieves is slop too man
💔
game had major potential but just fell off
I play with Scryllix and other friends and we usually have a fun time
we just get on every now and then
@frank lodge aint no way my boi
I don't know that guy
@frank lodge I didn't know you did charity?
why are you in my server then 
Photoshop
low bar
little random comparison too
Is this the krusty krab?
@boreal ether we were MOVING through Tau Centi IV
Its like we mf own the place bro
@bright crown oh my god cat
They enabled the events on fire red and leaf green
DEOXYS IS SHINY HUNTABLE
I wasnt gonna buy the ports but thats a MASSIVE selling point for me
We dont need PoGo for shiny deoxys anymore, thank fucking god
Did they fix the game soft resetting if you press all 4 face buttons down
That seemed like a dangerous choice for user experience
Where's the Diet Dr. Kelp?
Reminds me of the playtest where me and baguette ended up harassing perimeter where we only went out hunting players

Pinged the wrong fry lmao
https://x.com/i/status/2027497096371212794 HER GREED SICKENS ME
ANOTHER KIRIKO SKIN

WHY CANT WE GET 2B IN FORTNITE ALREADY
AND THEY GAVE HER 2B
SHE JUST GOT CINNAMOROLL
I WANNA BOMB BLIZZARD HQ
OH WAITER WAITER ANOTHER KIRIKO SKIN PLEASE

Luckily I dont play overwatch much anymore
So I will not be purchasing
But god dammit
You can keep spamming Kiri skins all you want, but when you give her 2B we're actually gonna have a problem like what the fuck
I also personally think Mizuki or Genji should've gotten 9s maybe
A2 for Vendetta is fair nuff
The other two are meh
Lifeweaver works Ig, Mercy also gets another skin but it's a character no one cares about
Who else would you really give it to
This is fair but it's Kiriko so I'm gonna keep hating 
Just make a new Japanese woman on the spot who uses a katana for all I care
Hell, just put Genji in the 2B dress, I would buy that lmao
AND LAST I CHECKED 2B WASN'T CHUCKING KUNAI AND THROWING MAGICAL POST-IT NOTES AT PEOPLE
I don't remember joker persona having a water staff either
At least he has a staff though, no?
Nor do I remember deku having TIME TRAVEL
@upper tree confirm or deny
Idk man I just wanna hate on Kiriko
no
Esp when she gets a skin of the main character from one of my favorite games
9s has a sword
Where have you ever seen joker anime persona boy with a staff
Yeah I literally said I would've prefered 9s for Genji but he might be too brawny
But then you look at Cassidy Spike Spiegel and realize that's not a big issue
Yk what now that you mention it, disregarding my weapon argument, fucking Anran could've had it
Like giving it to a new character would be perfect
Ow devs will say they give the same few characters collab skins because they’re popular and it’s like duh because you only give them skins
@bright crown
I really hope Vendetta isn't gonna be getting endless Juno treatment with her skins
LMAO
Fih
sitter
@empty estuary @pseudo sparrow @zenith blaze YOU GUYS GOTTA SEE WHAT MY FRIEND DID
