[summer barn]

They decided to run triple support OFF RIP

[zenith blaze]

it depends on your phone but modern phones are ridiculously powerful now

[summer barn]

Barely capped first point and made it to the last with nothing but overtime

[zenith blaze]

you can run emulators on iphone for ps2 games

[summer barn]

A support finally swaps to dps so I can go tank, we proceed to roll the enemy team

THEN FOR SOME REASON THEY DECIDE TO TURN THEIR BRAINS OFF

I keep telling them that the enemy comp would fall apart after they swapped around that brawl or dive would make them flounder

I get ignored

AND WE LOSE

[buoyant moon]

Mine is pretty good and admittedly more versatile than the 3ds for what I want, but I think I just wanna play with my old 3ds again

[subtle elk]

where do i go?

[vale pendant]

https://youtu.be/DGnH8MfyTf0?si=vaCgaOOGwMUeCqAV

tf3 in the backburner still sadly

[steep frost]

tf3 isnt even a thought in the respawn offices

[empty estuary]

If this is the tile i think it is, theres an opening on one of the sides you can slide through

[subtle elk]

i got help from warframe discord, thanks nonetheless

i do have a question whether i can just failt the third vault since i got both of first 2

[steep frost]

You can but you won’t get c tier rewards

[empty estuary]

If its just a random spy mission, yes, but it can affect your rewards

If its something like a daily sortie, or an archon hunt, you must do all 3 successfully

[steep frost]

Only matters on sortie or relics I think

Or if you’re farming the lua spy rewards

[empty estuary]

Nah relics you can fail em

[late beacon]

This is the first destiny discord I've seen that doesn't get mad when Warframe is mentioned

[steep frost]

well this is the off topic channel for other games

also for like 3 months out of the year this basically becomes the warframe channel

[late beacon]

Oh yeah I saw that it's just crazy I don't know the last two I was in they got really mad when I asked in they're off topic one if anyone played

[summer barn]

I'm going to make a game called Fate where you have 3 classes. Assassin, mage, and tank.

[balmy mason]

You mean Knight

[summer barn]

And the sub classes will be called super hot fire, spinning purple stuff, and freaky lightning.

We will later add cold blue crystals, and stringy green thing.

Followed by build a bear subclass

[summer barn]

No, it's tank

oh ok

[blissful pagoda]

i see you, dtaco

[cold musk]

Is it just me or is re2/re3 remakes zombies fcking bullet sponges

[wanton wasp]

I'm pretty sure they always were

[cold musk]

Feel like in re9 it likes couple of rounds but ij old ones its like 2 mags

I wan play re2 but nemesis terrifies me

[empty estuary]

thats how re has always been

they want ammo to be a scarce resource, not a solution to all problems

[cold musk]

Just felt odd to me don’t remember re like it

Maybe I’ll go back and play

[round fable]

yeah

there's an announcement at that event on Saturday

hopefully it's that it's weekly when it starts back up

ive been watching this show for years now and have never seen it weekly 😭

[boreal ether]

Can't do this shit no more man

[finite jetty]

Hello chat

[boreal ether]

Waddup

[blissful pagoda]

hello

[zenith blaze]

the older re games "encourage" you to find ways to avoid fighting, this is extremely noticeable with the original re where it takes like 11-13 bullets to knockdown a zombie

-# they turn aggro if you dont burn them after that though

[zinc coyote]

junie i bought the original re2 today

[zenith blaze]

no nemesis roaming though

[empty estuary]

i finally got my DTOC St Elmo roll

i am free

[balmy mason]

[fossil patrol]

There's occasionally cool conversations in the marton discord I wish it was also more relaxed :(

[wanton wasp]

It's mostly just morons or people who just fucking suck ngl

[fossil patrol]

I have had nice conversations there which is what I'm chasing

It's the marvel discord all over again...

Actually no the marvel discord is slightly more unhinged after the Google dock

[sleek kraken]

@zenith blaze had a great time in the rivals discord

[fossil patrol]

I presume this is satire?

[sleek kraken]

It was absolutely horrific

[fossil patrol]

I have actually had some pretty good interactions in off topic

Biggest issue is a handful of racists, misogynists, and various bigotry that's handled too late by mods or not at all

And drama #258 incited by a mod over a personal vindictive

Which is... A bummer :(

[round fable]

is there like

a more chill alternative discord for marathon

@cold musk i would recommend learning to cook and stocking up heavily on food

[cold musk]

Loved cooking in dragons dogma 2

That was a hells fun game

[loud compass]

i havent played it

heard it was horribly optimized and that left me disinterested in it

[lavish forge]

Game’s mid anyway

[cold musk]

Seem to run well on Xbox

For me at least

[loud compass]

i struggle to play games below 75 fps

[pseudo sparrow]

lol

spoiled little man

genuinely straining on my eyes

i went back to play 🦀 1 when i was mainly playing 60 and oh man

it was not fun

[cold musk]

Love being a lil human wielding a sword size of guts greatsword

I've been on a 3060ti on a deteriorating pc the past couple years so it doesn't bother me

[vagrant summit]

DD2 isn't mid it's just dogshit tbh

[lavish forge]

I was being nice

[cold musk]

But that could be my dam Xbox brain

[vagrant summit]

probably one of the bigger mistakes I've made in recent years video games wise

[loud compass]

find ur way to wisconsin and u can have my 6800xt

[pseudo sparrow]

I can run at a maximum of 120 if I'm lucky lol

[vagrant summit]

buying that fucking thing

[pseudo sparrow]

roadtrip to America

I'll drive on water trust

[lavish forge]

Remember when vibe, you and I all crashed out during the launch day and realized how ass the saving was

[vagrant summit]

I do lmao

I remember every searing pain I felt playing the fucking game

[pseudo sparrow]

nah but it's bad, my pc often crashes and I've started having booting problems 🫠

[vagrant summit]

and every one of its obtuse and badly designed systems

[lavish forge]

I was so much in denial I still finished the game and did the underworld stuff

Then never touched it again

[vagrant summit]

I'm honestly surprised you managed to finish the game

I can't really think of a single positive I could say about it

[lavish forge]

I skipped through almost every unfinished quest I had

[pseudo sparrow]

and I just cannot play some of the newer games, even on low graphics space marine 2's frames were horrid for me

[loud compass]

rip

[vagrant summit]

and I still gave it a solid 20-25 hours

[loud compass]

i cant imagine what u go thru on that game

space marines 2 even on my pc is pushing it

[vagrant summit]

well, those were compounded by the shitty saving setting me back sometimes hours, but hey

[pseudo sparrow]

trust, when I enter my employment arc I'm gonna thrive

[cold musk]

Tho I played ds2 and played whole game on quiailty not knowing then I went to performance I can tell I had way less like screen tearing this normal ?

[lavish forge]

Wha

English

[cold musk]

idek what fps quailty mode was actually

[pseudo sparrow]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2/clips/mcNKS9mEWNc4cX9gy?invite=cr-MSxvQnosMzE2NzQ5NzYy&v=30 had this bug when I started

[loud compass]

@lavish forge any luck finding armor for damiane?

[lavish forge]

No

[loud compass]

i found 1 cape for her in a waterfountain in demeniss port

i havent even been able to see what it looks like cause shes locked rn for me for some quest reason

[cold musk]

played death stranding 2 the whole way thru not knowing i was on quailty mode got near the end noticed n i changed to performance n screen seem like faster this normal?

[lavish forge]

Yes cause double the frames per second

That’s like the whole point

[lavish forge]

I only went to demeniss town to ring the bell and got swarmed by enemies

[cold musk]

felt so odd bc i hardly can tell the diffrence lul

[lavish forge]

Not surprised

[loud compass]

its a neat little town

[cold musk]

god my eyes gon melt with like pcs can hit like what ? 120fps

[frosty yew]

[pseudo sparrow]

I thought xbox series s and x could at the very least hit 120

[loud compass]

s no

[pseudo sparrow]

ah

[loud compass]

its max is 60

[pseudo sparrow]

crazy

[cold musk]

omg i can steal in this game?

[loud compass]

series s also holds back development for xbox games since they have to optimize for a pretty mid console

[pseudo sparrow]

I see

[loud compass]

u need a mask

and u lose rep

[cold musk]

fcking love stealing in kcd2 is so fun lmao

[loud compass]

and rep is a currency

[pseudo sparrow]

I do need to future proof my pc at some point

doesn't seem like companies are gonna slow down in quality

[cold musk]

do i lose rep if im caught or just by stealing?

[pseudo sparrow]

unless you're like EA or Ubislop

[loud compass]

stealing anything anywhere

even if ur alone on an island

if it says steal instead of grab ur rep goes down

[pseudo sparrow]

that wouldn't be very loving or good for the soul fr

[cold musk]

well this will be interesting

oh kcd2 why buy the armour when you can find the chest n they whole loot in it so fun

[loud compass]

it hasnt been that detrimental and i do steal from time to time but if u just clear a house u will probably tank ur rep with hernand

[cold musk]

oh i love i can switch to 3rd to 1st so fast

[loud compass]

i spent probably an hour learning the pathing of a black smith and his guards so i could get his chest

[pseudo sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-say-that-say-that-agian-marvel-fantastic-gif-12441585058103544841

[cold musk]

kcd2 was a game i had so much trouble with it but couldnt stop playing it

[vagrant summit]

why would you buy armor when people have it on them

I literally spent my entire time styling on fully armored dudes to take their shit

[loud compass]

i had to knock out a platoon of guards in the chapel to get my white crusader look with max quality armor

[lavish forge]

Some games on the S are 120

[loud compass]

which?

[lavish forge]

A limited amount compared to the X

[lavish forge]

https://www.purexbox.com/guides/all-xbox-series-xs-games-that-support-120fps

the typical ones, Fort, CoD, Halo etc

[loud compass]

oh

more than i thought

[cold musk]

omg peak

you can sit with your honse

[lavish forge]

Still a mediocre console but yeah

It can do some 120 at the cost of graphical fidelity

The anime I finished yesterday has a character named Ivy

[pseudo sparrow]

not anymore

[balmy mason]

The protagonist, even

[pseudo sparrow]

my friends wanting me to play it were the most unwelcoming mfs and my pc could not handle it

I was just thrown into the hardest difficulty with them carrying me, and because of that I couldn't play what I wanted to try since those were their highest level classes

genuinely did not have fun cause of that

[ashen shore]

that tactic only works on helldivers

sm2 is too punishing for that to be fun

[cold musk]

@loud compass

[mental brook]

That and his friends didn't help at all

[sleek kraken]

Thats

Lame as fuck

[mental brook]

That's not how you ease or get someone into a game

[sleek kraken]

Like it's at the least funny in helldivers

It's half possible in helldivers

Doing that in sm2 is just being an ass

[mental brook]

Hardest difficulty someone new should be put on is the one above average

Not too hard but also not too easy that nothing happens

[sleek kraken]

Worst I did was like level 15 at level 8

And even then that was kinda rough

[mental brook]

Character level doesn't have that much of an impact as weapons do

You play with weapons that aren't levelled you're not gonna have fun

EPIC GAMES LAYS OFF OVER 1000 EMPLOYEES

"Today we’re laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making." - Tim Sweeney

glad that's not the case in HD2

though i would not say no to a better customization system

I see a lot of people complain we don't have more customization

Please though give me secondary paints please

I hate how the talon looks and I wanna use it

it wasn't getting any interesting content

Oh all the new illuminate enemies aren't on any new planets

I liked those enemies

[ashen shore]

I'm betting they shut it down

i don't think they would sell the IP

[lavish forge]

Maybe if they stopped giving millions to slop UEFN CC’s they’d be able to afford everything

Ballistic was also just a waste of development time, did anyone even play battle festival?

[bright crown]

Only when Metallica released with it

Afterwards it kinda died hard

[lavish forge]

Tim Sweeney has to be in some form of money laundry scheme

claim Apple's/Google's fault and has a monopoly when they broke the rules

constantly having beef with Valve

[hoary star]

Well, Carbon, you are an odd fellow, but I must say
You steam a good super ham

[frosty yew]

arent they the person from EG that is against disclosure of AI content

[gloomy lagoon]

IIRC, yes.... dude tried to shut down Valve's open statement on "all game publishers must state clearly what AI tools were used in development"

stating it was "anti-innovation", "Anti-dev", and a whole bunch of nonsense

[frosty yew]

me when i mistake pro consumer for anti developer

[lavish forge]

Being against the disclosure of ai content is like the least worst thing he’s done

[gloomy lagoon]

I swear he's going to try and shut down StW next

New payday game?

Even the old one isnt playable yet

[frosty yew]

vr apparently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9yr-kz_FkY

but im pretty sure pd2 had vr

[vagrant summit]

As a mod I think ?

At any rate, doesn't make pd3 any more playable lmao

[ashen shore]

They should make all standard frames 24hr and the primes can stay 72hr

[wispy tundra]

was official but didnt work well

[wispy tundra]

aces high is from a totally different company too

fully self developed and published by fast travel

[empty estuary]

Eh, no, primes and standards barely differ at all, i just think it should be all duviri frames and if a frame is x years old

Maybe like 10 years old is when they turn to 24hr craft times

[ashen shore]

eh no

[pseudo sparrow]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3wFGRek61NIF330UwJCI52?si=1bac9be2342c4852 that's a really good song

[balmy mason]

These 2 baffoons exfil-ed without me

Joke on them

[wispy tundra]

i think if the prime exists the normal should be 24h

is that a bad take

[empty estuary]

Its a big money maker for warframe, which is why theyre very selective about making them 24 hours at all

[wispy tundra]

yea i doubt itll ever change since it's such a minor inconvenience anyway

[empty estuary]

And with how consistent and high quality updates have been, i dont think its something that should be changed so broadly

[wispy tundra]

a lot of wf is minor inconveniences that could change but wont since they generate income

[empty estuary]

DE has been de-grinding the game so a lot of time is saved just getting the frames now

[wispy tundra]

yea i did see that

finally doing something about comically high cryotic costs on things

and outliers like equinox

[steep frost]

Wait are they adjusting cryotic prices on shit

[wispy tundra]

they made steel path excavation way more viable by massively buffing their health, i thought i saw something about cryotic costs but i cant find it

so maybe i made that up

at least i thought i saw something about sibear

[balmy mason]

Imagine not having Sibear

[ashen shore]

there was like a 2 year period where I did excavation almost exclusively

[sleek kraken]

.. Why

[ashen shore]

because I enjoyed it?

[summer barn]

Someone told me poptropica was a hidden gem as if everyone and their grandma didn't play it

I literally bought an official guidebook for the game

That was stolen from me

[hidden pulsar]

Hell yeah 🏳️‍⚧️

[frosty yew]

i would not be saying hell yeah to... that mission

[mental brook]

Hell yeah if you dont care about mission rating

[hidden pulsar]

Oh I don’t even know what game that’s from lmao

[mental brook]

Ready Or Not

[empty estuary]

Weapons free

[mental brook]

It's a very "you can't talk about it here mission"

[frosty yew]

ah your response makes more sense

[steep frost]

yeah its a mission about some not great shit lmao

[hidden pulsar]

Huh

[mental brook]

Bad illegal stuff at a party

[hidden pulsar]

Oh fuck I take it back I just Googled it

[mental brook]

[hidden pulsar]

I was just making a joke based on “dolls” 😭

[mental brook]

Fun fact one of the rooms had to have pictures of actual dolls for the games rating

90% of the stuff in RoN you can't talk about here

[hidden pulsar]

Honestly I thought it was like a horror game thing lmao. Like an actual valley with creepy horror dolls

[empty estuary]

Yeah a lot of that game got censored for the console release which is bullshit

[hidden pulsar]

Uh yeah because RoN is from Destiny silly

[mental brook]

It fells like it

[hidden pulsar]

🙄

[mental brook]

Banned

[empty estuary]

Half of the appeal of the genre is how gritty it is, i wish the pc release at least remained uncensored

Even the original SWAT games didnt pull punches

[frosty yew]

RoN is a horror game pretending to be a swat sim

[mental brook]

Honestly the newest mission did actually freak me out a bit

[empty estuary]

New players going through twisted nerve for the first time

[wispy tundra]

His condition is treatable and he still ends up joining public safety so he has the money to get treatment

[mental brook]

New players trying the hospital mission

[wispy tundra]

But without being treated like a tool because of pochita

I think it's a good ending but it's really sudden and feels disconnected

[empty estuary]

Man i should get ready or not again on pc

Maybe the next time it goes on sale, i already picked some things up

[mental brook]

Mods look cool on it

Barbie dress up for men

[frosty yew]

welp that mission is down

now for an arguably worse mission

anyways. marathon amirite?

[fossil patrol]

big fan of it

[frosty yew]

i havent played or bought it since im not really a fan of extraction shooters

[fossil patrol]

Ive generally not been a fan of extraction shooters either but i do like marton in spite of this

[wispy tundra]

Marathon manages to feel "hardcore" while having a ton of systems in place to make sure you never feel significantly punished for using your gear

If arc raiders is the McDonald's play place marathon is an indoor trampoline park

I just hope the game is able to stay healthy in the longer term

People are trying to judge it based on the initial sales but extraction shooters also have big spikes every "season"/reset historically that drive more sales since every wipe is an event and an opportunity for people to come in fresh

[empty estuary]

So apparently the new prime trailer is the most brutal one yet?

So it might not be styanax

Theres an argument to be made for kullervo prime now

Like the guess of who the next prime isnt narrowed down, but now the door is a little wider than i was expecting

This is like when Michael Salvatori was included in the layoffs (even if he came back) 🦀

[summer barn]

Honestly, if these people lost their shit when they find out they're being laid off from these companies after being one of the reasons why it's successful, I wouldn't blame them at all.

[weary silo]

I've heard that tech companies will kick you out if you admit to not regularly using AI in daily life, maybe that is part of the reason?

Or maybe ive been reading too many clickbait business articles..

I wonder who hates the English more between Scotland and Ireland

[cedar pumice]

The Welsh

I've been to Scotland, was great

[mental brook]

Ireland definitely

[cedar pumice]

My favorite thing was finding a restaurant just simply called "Meat"

[mental brook]

Meat

[ashen shore]

that does sound like a highlight

[cedar pumice]

They had it burned into their leather bound menus

[ashen shore]

[mental brook]

The Scottish being a bunch of funny fellas even the Romans wanted them nowhere near England

You willing to go to war for Scotland instead of your imperial authoritative regime?

Get some body paint going on like the Picts

I'm writing music for a battle involving Scotsmen, does that count? (They win btw)

[merry dawn]

Yes

Yippee!

It's the 1759 Battle of Quebec, featuring the last successful Highland Charge in history :)

[merry dawn]

All of this is obviously conditional on if you think that Englands landmass should be split into jurisdiction of Scotland Ireland and Wales

[cedar pumice]

What about the Cornish?

They can get a part too

Just as long as London becomes a center for the colonies of the bygone English empire to unite give back natives to Thier land

[hallow hawk]

[blissful pagoda]

aw hell nah you were running striker with chestpiece?

[hallow hawk]

i am

is striker chestpiece bad

i'm used to div1 striker lmao

[blissful pagoda]

whats your current crit rate

[hallow hawk]

5.1%

[blissful pagoda]

jesus

[hallow hawk]

[empty estuary]

Usually people run other stuff in its place to get talent variety

[blissful pagoda]

yeah

chest piece talents are p gud

[hallow hawk]

i assume like obliterate or unbreakable

[blissful pagoda]

why the fuck wasn't i using perfect obliterate chest piece 😭

fuck me

[empty estuary]

If you go for obliterate, go for Equalizer, its a named chestpiece with perfect obliterate

[blissful pagoda]

yeah

[hallow hawk]

i have two equalizers

[blissful pagoda]

I had ceska chest piece instead of equalizer equipped.

[hallow hawk]

[blissful pagoda]

so usually the way to go is

[hallow hawk]

oh no i have one chainkiller and one equalizer

[blissful pagoda]

well, the new way to go i guess is

[blissful pagoda]

equalizer and coyote's mask to help compensate for lack of crit rate

[hallow hawk]

teammate got a coyote's mask from that

[blissful pagoda]

and 4 piece striker

[hallow hawk]

i have the bp

are crits really that important

[blissful pagoda]

yeah

[hallow hawk]

genuinely asking

[empty estuary]

I think that new backpack is kinda taking the place of coyote as long as your stats are figured out

[hallow hawk]

because i can hit heads very easily

[empty estuary]

Yeah

[blissful pagoda]

i am running a different-but-sameish build

crit headshots bruh

[empty estuary]

You can get tanky enough that you can still invest in crit

[blissful pagoda]

so that means... the 4th piece comes from face mask?

[empty estuary]

Not sure tbh

[hallow hawk]

why not just invest fully into headshot damage and get the guaranteed extra damage

that's what i've been doing

[empty estuary]

I havent looked into builds with the backpack too much cause i didnt have it yet, though i do now

[blissful pagoda]

this is the set i was running

[hallow hawk]

i saw

i inspected you

[blissful pagoda]

well you can run a sniper headshot build

[hallow hawk]

https://i.imgur.com/VqOYaG1.png

that's actually the build i was going for originally

[blissful pagoda]

but you dont use regular rifles. you use marksman rifles for that

[hallow hawk]

i also JUST got a Shroud

[blissful pagoda]

as much per shot damage, then you hit a few good headshots

to stack chainkiller

[hallow hawk]

does determined work with chainkiller

[blissful pagoda]

yes

[hallow hawk]

oh nice

[blissful pagoda]

so determined, chainkiller, just a bit of crits

[hallow hawk]

yeah i'm still working out the refining of my build

i knew i just wanted a striker build

[blissful pagoda]

because stacking all headshot damage doesnt scale as well as headshot and crits

[hallow hawk]

they fucking neutered it in this game

there's none of the healing lmao

[blissful pagoda]

its classic

yeah no you're the glass cannon

but if you want to crutch you can go half blue

and use st elmo's

[hallow hawk]

well i'm running with my friend

umbra

she's using refactor

[blissful pagoda]

and firestarter shield

[hallow hawk]

so we've been playing off eachother

so should i roll crit chance from now on?

crit chance/damage?

[blissful pagoda]

thats what ive been doing

i do not do well with those tank builds

[eternal holly]

intrusive thoughts won

[hallow hawk]

side note

i think grenadiers and drone operators are legitimately the worst enemies in all the game

[empty estuary]

this has been my build

[hallow hawk]

i found Strega early on and really loved it

[empty estuary]

though ill probably transition into some blue stats cause its so squishy

oh i dont normally use strega

im just getting proficiency levels while i run countdowns

my stats are fucked but thats cause im not SHD 1k so i have to compensate

it should be more CD heavy

also gotta max my stats and shit

[hallow hawk]

any suggestion on what AR i should use? i don't have elmo yet

i've been using the carbine 7 for a while because i feel i have a pretty decent roll

[empty estuary]

ive heard the famas is good, strega is good, uhhhhhh

[hallow hawk]

i crafted like 100 famases by now

haven't gotten a single good one

[blissful pagoda]

crafting

no

farm that shit

[hallow hawk]

huh

[blissful pagoda]

i have never gotten a single good high roll from crafting

[hallow hawk]

get out of my party

[blissful pagoda]

[hallow hawk]

thanks for the help though

how would i target farm famases though

i would just have to allocate ARs

[blissful pagoda]

yeah

[empty estuary]

yeah

[blissful pagoda]

you can only target ARs

[empty estuary]

div is very

[hallow hawk]

and then i just get fucking mk16s over and over again lmao

[empty estuary]

grindy

[blissful pagoda]

and pray you get famas.

[hallow hawk]

been known

i have 6pc classified striker with like 4 godroll houses on ps4 div1

[empty estuary]

lexington is good if you did the stretch goal stuff

[hallow hawk]

you do not understand the utter disappointment i had

when i saw the Lightweight M4

[blissful pagoda]

should i optimise it?

[hallow hawk]

equipped it

and saw the ABYSMAL firerate it had

[blissful pagoda]

ARs? whats that?

i only know one thing

LMGs

[hallow hawk]

how's the bluescreen?

i've seen a few builds with it

[blissful pagoda]

graaaagh

its an okay 'support' gun

[hallow hawk]

what's the build where enemies just explode into red mist

[blissful pagoda]

cant really use the aoe stun effect when theyre all so spread out apart

[empty estuary]

Bluescreen is good for tank builds iirc

[blissful pagoda]

chainkiller and a maxed out marksman rifle with determined

[empty estuary]

Cause theres an interaction with the pulse

[blissful pagoda]

except i just go all glass cannon anyways

[hallow hawk]

is it

i don't mean like figuratively

[blissful pagoda]

because its low fire rate synergises with tipping scale

[hallow hawk]

i mean like the enemies actually explode

[blissful pagoda]

oh explode
nah

we dont have explosives/grenades builds

[wispy tundra]

you're pretty close to the optimal ratio for now at least with what you have, you'd need like 4% more crit chance and 8% less crit damage to be about there at your current stat total

so like not bad

[empty estuary]

I mean its a coyote build, its crit capped anyways

With optimized stats im actually overcapped, hence why its actually lacking cd

[subtle elk]

finally managed to trade for protea prime stuff

took 45 fucking minutes

[wispy tundra]

it's optimal to be around 50%cc instead of 45% on coyote

[subtle elk]

now i gotta wait 84 hours

[wispy tundra]

typically

[empty estuary]

which i would get from optimized stats and shd level

hence why my build is light on cd and overcapping on cc

[wispy tundra]

oh i didnt read that part

i get what you mean now

i should open div2 again i havent played in like 2 seasons

kinda burned out bc of the chud expertise grind

[empty estuary]

It feels even worse rn cause you need Ex30 for the new rarity

[wispy tundra]

im already like ex20

i just have to spend like 10m credits on named shit

[weary silo]

Bluescreen with tipping scales

[weary silo]

Im still expertise 15 :/

[blissful pagoda]

im only at 14

im not gonna bother

[weary silo]

Have any police M4s stashed?

But iirc just get any 800+ rpm AR and its good enough

Heck i used a g36 before my current lexington and it still shreds with a striker build..

[wispy tundra]

ignore streamline or sadist

famas/police m4/f200/ctar/p416 are the top dogs

[weary silo]

Could also use this as a guide

There's still like 4 lawsuits atm that I know of, 2 from new york complaining about loot boxes, one in the UK complaining that it's a monopoly, and another from the waste of oxygen named the PRS

[bright crown]

its already super suspicous anyways they suddenly get hit wiht multiple lawsuits RIGHT after winning against rothschild

like where were thse lawsuits years ago

they're all BS

[stray canyon]

It's cause valve is a private company and the investment companies are pulling their hair out knowing they can't take control so they are trying to destroy it all

[weary silo]

Eh not really, i bet all those private equity are itching to score a company like valve without it turning public

[stray canyon]

It's always funny how stupid the investment companies are

[bright crown]

thats just it tho

valve doesnt want that

they dont want to deal with investment companies who push their weight around with money

[stray canyon]

They see how much money companies like valve makes just by putting customers first instead of focusing all in on profit, and then they do the exact opposite

[bright crown]

OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THE UMBRELLAS ON THE GOLF COURSE THIS WHOLE TIME

[full saddle]

tim sweeny calling valve a monopoly and then ruining his own company

2k layoffs total, shit launcher somehow getting worse

[weary silo]

I dont understand why they call valve a monopoly lol. Not like valve is like apple, maintaining a walled garden ecosystem

[stray canyon]

Valve is a monopoly
Because the rest of the competition is so garbage that the only option ends up being valve

[full saddle]

they dont even control the market though

everyone just picks steam because its not shit compared to every other launcher

its good for devs and consumers because of sales and customer support

[stray canyon]

That's the joke, the UK is trying to call steam a monopoly, but it's not, it's just that the rest of the competition is pure garbage so people stick to steam lol

[full saddle]

yea lmao

wasnt one of the lawsuits about valve making the prices for games

when thats literally decided by developers

[stray canyon]

Yeh

[weary silo]

When gog exists, epic has no excuse lol.

[stray canyon]

The funniest part is when epic puts out a free game and then that game gets a bunch of sales on steam

[full saddle]

epic throttles downloads, for some reason has 50 different popout tabs for each menu, loads slower even though it has less stuff going on

[bright crown]

see the moment an investment firm gets ahold of someone like valve, the entirety of the company goes from "oh this would be cool or fun to work on, to "is this a good investment or not"

[full saddle]

yea 😭

[bright crown]

I SAW THAT

THAT WAS FUNNY TO SEE LOL

[full saddle]

no body wants to use that doodoo launcher

[bright crown]

free gmes on epic are literally a billboard for steam lmao

[full saddle]

"oh this free game looks neat! how much is it on steam?"

[stray canyon]

Speaking of which

Let's press F for the game that had potential and threw it all away, dauntless

[full saddle]

DAUNTLESS MY GOAT

[stray canyon]

Dauntless could have been such a good f2p monster hunter, and they threw it all away

[full saddle]

nah i actually fucked with the new weapon system, but i do agree going from 40 something weapons down to 6 was lame

6 and having 1 of them be locked in the pass as early access

it was such a good game

[stray canyon]

The moment dauntless became epic games exclusive was the moment I decided that yeh the game is dead

[bright crown]

also lets not forget valve is also being sued by the Uk government for "not owning a license to distribute music"

on games like

forza and gta

[weary silo]

Wtf. That must be some record label shenanigans right there

[stray canyon]

Not the UK, but PRS for music, a notorious copyright collective

[bright crown]

yup lmao

[full saddle]

i loved the axe

[bright crown]

they're trying to claim valve needs to get a license to distribute the games that contain licensed music

even tho its the publisher of said games that are supposed to be dealing with that

[full saddle]

6 levels under and owning Riftstalker

im so hyped for Horizon Steel Frontiers man

i pray it plays like Dauntless

i think i have at least 1k hours total on the game

[bright crown]

im praying valve singlehandedly demolishes all these stupid lawsuits

[full saddle]

which is also funny because i hated Monster Hunter

[stray canyon]

They once took a car servicing company to court because the employees were listening to the radio in public and it was playing their music

[upbeat dirge]

I swear I played this game on Roblox

[bright crown]

thats so stupid

did they lose or win that

that comapny is ltierally the manifestation of "do yew have a loicense for that m8"

[empty estuary]

Follie

[bright crown]

SOON

[stray canyon]

They once tried threatening a worker in a village for singing to herself because she didn't have a "live performance" license, though they did back off that time

[cedar pumice]

The Metal Gear Solid alert sound plays in my head whenever Sandy appears

[full saddle]

i miss dauntless so much 😔

[bright crown]

another pet levelled and finished

idk why it shows default bonesey

[stray canyon]

I missed it for a while, but then MH world came out shortly after dauntless butchered itself with bad choices lol

[full saddle]

i think you have the timeline wrong

the really bad update was early last year

[stray canyon]

Nah to me, the moment they became epic games exclusive was the start of the bad choices

[bright crown]

its time to level my final pet

then i can FINALLY go back to just having my cuddle team jr

[stray canyon]

I still have like 2 or 3 more levels to do on ice prince then I can go back to my fox lol
