got that movie refresh rate

[rocky basalt]

i was merely comparing the two because they ran on The same engine

[oak creek]

yeah we are unfortunately already in the age of games that require AI scaling or whatever to run well. I dont like those for the same reason I avoid TAA like the plague if other AA options are available

[thick dawn]

They're normalizing using scaling for "decent" performance

Im home on Wednesdays now

[oak creek]

Spelling is my pashion

[oak creek]

[proud berry]

I thought crashing virtual cars was

[oak creek]

Nah im in a league now, so ive gotta actually drive them instead of crash them

[proud berry]

Damn, sorry to hear that

[oak creek]

Yeah

Its a tough change

[proud berry]

Is the league fun?

[oak creek]

Yeah so far

First race was a bit rough, as someone decided that i should crash anyway when we all arrived at T3, but i somehow still rebounded to P6 out of 13

[proud berry]

Midpack life

[oak creek]

But that was silverstone, a track im plenty familiar with even if i havent raced in actual races for several years. This weekend is shanghai, a track ive driven very little

[proud berry]

What cars?

[oak creek]

aye, tho I seem to at least be closer to the front than to the back in terms of one-lap pace

[oak creek]

F1. VRC's most recent one, the Formula Alpha 2024

its basically the highest quality F1 car in simracing, even including iRacing

[proud berry]

Nyoom

How sensitive is it?

[oak creek]

#off-topic message

[oak creek]

depends on how good or fucked your setup is

[atomic kite]

i want one where she sings Christmas songs

for my gf, she would be verry happy

[oak creek]

im currently having a hard time dialing in my rear stability for this weekends race, as im not very competent when it comes to setup work

[proud berry]

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a fast car and that's pretty close

[oak creek]

[proud berry]

Only one way to learn

[oak creek]

yup. this is what happens when you learn too slow lol

[proud berry]

bad words were said here

[oak creek]

by you or me?

[proud berry]

tis a joke about crashes

[oak creek]

oh lol

[proud berry]

Whenever I see a racing crash I just assuming someone involved is swearing heavily

[oak creek]

nah that was only like my 2nd or 3rd lap ive done around shanghai. id already had a big snap the lap before, so I knew what to expect but decided to push anyway

[proud berry]

The true racer brain move

[oak creek]

and it seems that its working somewhat. managed to make enough improvement with the setup and my lines to jump up right in the middle of some soft-compound laptimes on the leagues practice server timing sheet while only using the hard-compound tyres

[oak creek]

my thinking is that if I dont have a setup thats at least driveable on the hards, then theres no point since I dont have the natural-born talent to keep an unstable car on the track for even just half a race distance

[waxen badge]

use the racing line feature.

[oak creek]

no

[waxen badge]

i mean

ok

[oak creek]

racing lines different from car to car

past a certain amount of experience, they hinder more than they help

[proud berry]

Racing is more than just following a line

[golden gale]

Racecar backwards is still racecar

[opaque ingot]

on top of the helmet is a grizzly bear

It’s just empty

[oak creek]

the rear of the helmet is a sketch of University of Montana

[oak creek]

You have a blue door okay

[oak creek]

assuming that is my door

[misty beacon]

You just tagged that bit on to try and salvage

[oak creek]

that photo is several years old

[misty beacon]

Okay

[oak creek]

and as you can probably see, the whole front door and frame was in need of repainting even then. if you catch my drift

[misty beacon]

Still don’t believe you

[oak creek]

but you believe thats my door, hm?

[misty beacon]

Provide proof

[oak creek]

sounds like youre picking and choosing

thats not very detective of you

Well troll not liar my bad

[oak creek]

no i am 100% a liar

[misty beacon]

Yeah

[oak creek]

which is why youve gotta be careful which bait you take

[misty beacon]

My logic is my own

[oak creek]

indeed it is

[misty beacon]

It would take to long to explain it so I won’t

[oak creek]

that immediately makes me concerned about your logic

[misty beacon]

But I am reasonably certain that is your door

[oak creek]

oh it most definitely is

but whether it still looks like that is the question

[misty beacon]

Yes

But google maps doesn’t update too much

So street view may still have that blue door

And what looks to be possibly a brick house

[oak creek]

the date on the streetview is more recent than the photo I provided

by a couple of years

[misty beacon]

Okay

And is they door still that color

[oak creek]

thats for you to find out

[misty beacon]

Fair

[oak creek]

and i hate to break it to ya, but brick houses are absurdly common here

I got my name and date wrong but the idea still stands that current ACR is the newest model and legacy came before this one

[cyan wedge]

im jumping out a window

[halcyon trellis]

fair

but they're in the right this time technically

I thought they were original skins based on like older version of the gun at first tbh

but that's what modified is for apparently

kinda silly that it mostly only affects the stock that basically no one's gonna see but I don't get paid to think

[oak creek]

take me with youu

[winter surge]

..can i have your stuff

[cyan wedge]

my honest reaction

[oak creek]

do you like racecar stuff?

[winter surge]

not much imma be real

[oak creek]

then youll just be making more work for yourself

[halcyon trellis]

like maybe they can't fit anything without it clipping with moving parts or smthn but guh

there's 8 skins so non issue at the end of the day

[oak creek]

if watermelon ACR is a permanent loss of this update, ill break something

[halcyon trellis]

maybe it becomes a camo?

pretty sure this model stuff gets it's own tab

[cyan wedge]

these still feel like sad excuses for skins but i dont get paid to care

[halcyon trellis]

they mix with camos it's good enough for me

[oak creek]

i still miss old camos

[cyan wedge]

we have base for that

[halcyon trellis]

ok but now all skins do that

[oak creek]

i grinded my ass off on the RSh for a pretty wicked camo, only to lose it to a bunch of stupid and lame camos for the same killcount once the "new camo system" came out

that still grinds my gears

[halcyon trellis]

yea the grind is rough and all the good stuff is locked behind 5k

[oak creek]

mhm. all for the sake of really fluffing out the low-kill skins with a bunch of crappy variations of skins people never use in any game. i dont think ive ever used a fucking zebra camo

[winter surge]

I used the pink zebra camo for a while on the f2000

but i do get your point

[oak creek]

yeah well youre pretty inexplicable anyway

[halcyon trellis]

It would've been fine if the colors at least got expanded on

[oak creek]

after all, you dont like the famas

[halcyon trellis]

the whole point of the skin system was that it'd be really easy to add more color variants

[oak creek]

[winter surge]

its bad

[oak creek]

nou

[halcyon trellis]

but then that never really happened so it's like

wha happen

[winter surge]

D:

[halcyon trellis]

I remember just randomly asking larry if we could get black and white and I just got a no

as in not soon

maybe another time but still feels like a missed opportunity to bring back plastic colorscheme or ruby colorscheme instead of dark red and dark green

[oak creek]

yeah, thats what I thought too. felt like it would lead to a more comprehensive camo system over all, but all it really did was take away any cool skins and replace them with less cool skins at much much higher kill counts

[oak creek]

sorry that was uncalled for

[halcyon trellis]

live and learn

[winter surge]

Is ok i forgive you , this time

[oak creek]

that gopher most definitely does NOT look like it forgives me

[halcyon trellis]

IG you can ping and ask terminal or smthn but I wouldn't hold my breath

[winter surge]

ask terminal what?

[halcyon trellis]

if we can get more colors

[winter surge]

probably a suggestion thread for it out there somewhere

[oak creek]

yeah lets dip into the ultraviolet and infrared ranges a bit

[halcyon trellis]

it's supposed to be quick and easy now but idk what quick and easy means this far in

[oak creek]

you ever make a joke and immediately look back at it and say "that was dumb"?

[halcyon trellis]

not the worst joke I've heard dw

[oak creek]

yeah same. ive made some real stinkers over the years

but that one was definitively dumb, just in a good way

[cyan wedge]

og bondage skin

[oak creek]

stop you

[halcyon trellis]

If I had to guess they don't want to do more colors bc it'll bloat the already bloated skin color menu

[cyan wedge]

me when still no cherry blossom skin

[oak creek]

then all they need to do is remove the shite that people dont use

[halcyon trellis]

since stripes has like what 50 different skins or smthn with a scroll bar

[cyan wedge]

200

[halcyon trellis]

yea smthn like that

[cyan wedge]

actual brainrot like at that point just give us colour sliders

[oak creek]

dont ask why i have that image on speed-dial

[halcyon trellis]

this'll make sense in like a year or whatever but I'm sorry in advance

[oak creek]

lol

damn

thats taking "i dont want to lead you on" to a whole new level

[halcyon trellis]

yea

[oak creek]

ah fuck i forgot to move my bedding to the dryer nooooooooooooo

[halcyon trellis]

rip

[cyan wedge]

should actually just give us rgb slider

[halcyon trellis]

I think that'd need another revamp to the camo system since the last change was for generating the skin file, which is done in some other program

[cyan wedge]

cut down the skin bar from almost 4 digits to 12 or something

[halcyon trellis]

not worth the 5 minute coding adventure tbh

rather just have actually decent colors instead of fuckin red and puke green

[oak creek]

my washer got stuck on the "detecting fill" stage for my bedding...

[halcyon trellis]

or purple and yellow and green???

[cyan wedge]

true

[oak creek]

puke green is great, dont start

[halcyon trellis]

but then people would get pissy if it got removed

so

yea

[cyan wedge]

rate it

[oak creek]

didnt seem to bother larry when he removed the first camo system...

[cyan wedge]

or this 😭

[halcyon trellis]

idk man the skin system really needs more colors instead of patterns but that's really hindsight

[oak creek]

knock-off nerf

[cyan wedge]

i want muh fuckin cherry blossoms

[oak creek]

bitch-

i gave you your cherry blossoms

[cyan wedge]

thats just this

i cba finding the good one

[oak creek]

no, thats old nerf

[dreamy notch]

it could be nothing

[oak creek]

stop you

[dreamy notch]

:3

[oak creek]

"no michael no this isnt right"

[halcyon trellis]

idk someone start a petition

for some better colorways

[oak creek]

youre someone

:3

[halcyon trellis]

I alr tried asking to no avail

I also might be on Larry's BBR specific shitlist

definitely on terminal's

larry still unsure

[oak creek]

termy, could you unshitlist diego so we can get some decent fucking camos and colours?

[dreamy notch]

We do have a suggestions channel to utilize

[oak creek]

yeah and last time i made a suggestion, it got hijacked by a dev defending his unpopular choice instead of listening to people

[cyan wedge]

Skill issue

[oak creek]

i aint falling for that shit again

[halcyon trellis]

I've seen what hell looks like and it's cleaner than that damn channel

[cyan wedge]

Was it by any chance vilaskis and maps

[oak creek]

yes

:(

[dreamy notch]

Look man, I'm just saying that the option exists.

[cyan wedge]

Hot

[copper stream]

gay

[cyan wedge]

@dreamy notch

[cyan wedge]

Noob

[copper stream]

get these oce people out of my battlefield servers bro

[cyan wedge]

Which bf

[copper stream]

5

[cyan wedge]

L

[copper stream]

sick of their target switching cringe

[halcyon trellis]

poor icey can't ban I'm pretty sure

[cyan wedge]

Just shoot back

Unless it's vis or colorz

Then severe L

[oak creek]

yeah and so does this option

[copper stream]

i get 120 less ping than them thankfully 🙏

[cyan wedge]

I'm rapidly approaching your location

[copper stream]

mad work

[cyan wedge]

Am joking

[halcyon trellis]

fuck it

[sonic shale]

make a new map….make it like…..make it gray and flat…….

[cyan wedge]

Didn't buy the sale

[sonic shale]

mmmfpgh

[cyan wedge]

That's just oilfields

[sonic shale]

I’ll kill you

[cyan wedge]

Except that ones sand

[halcyon trellis]

@quick locust could you add a fun little surprise of new weapon camo colors like black and white or black and tan with the update 👉 👈

[sonic shale]

@quick locust Add my phone number on the back of the camo….

[halcyon trellis]

yea do that too

[sonic shale]

Thank you Diego

[oak creek]

wow, two termy pings in two successive messages

i bet he'll love that

[halcyon trellis]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oak creek]

i want a sakura festival map

[cyan wedge]

its called wine dom

i think

[oak creek]

wat

wine paradise is in italy you numpty

[cyan wedge]

You don’t want this heat

[sonic shale]

[oak creek]

yeah im ready for winter, this summer heat can gtfo

[cyan swift]

watch out yall Carl is gonna up the pole this fine thursday evening

[halcyon trellis]

I'm so fucking out of it man

[oak creek]

it was low-mid 20s today. itll be low 20s tomorrow

[cyan swift]

hottest it’s gonna get is 70 on monday

[oak creek]

celsius

[halcyon trellis]

I am trying to be excited

[oak creek]

they make a pill for people who cant get excited

[halcyon trellis]

MDMA?

[oak creek]

uh

not what i had in mind, no

[halcyon trellis]

oh

[oak creek]

but i guess technically?

[halcyon trellis]

iunno

[dreamy notch]

technically

[oak creek]

dont talk to me

[cyan wedge]

technically

WHERE M93R

[oak creek]

somewhere else

[dreamy notch]

hi mister

[oak creek]

[dreamy notch]

https://fixupx.com/_Jyggalag_/status/1856721110194098599

[oak creek]

jesus christ everything about this is so outdated but the post is from motherfucking YESTERDAY???

[dreamy notch]

Correct!

[oak creek]

me no understand

[halcyon trellis]

idk dude like I was already unsure knowing it'd be a few updates before Oki was likely to try and onboard another coder but now knowing that's gonna be a few months each on top of it all I can't be the only one at least a lil disheartened

[dreamy notch]

Don't get me wrong, it's a bummer. But I'm comfortable where the gameplay is atm. Issues aside.

[oak creek]

as a sniper, i was alienated like, over a year ago at this point

i dont even bother talking about the state of the game anymore

my kind has already been genocided

[dreamy notch]

smelly snipers

[oak creek]

i know when ive lost the war

[oak creek]

see; above sticker

[halcyon trellis]

I mean I don't hate it but I now know there's a version I think I'm going to love more and want to see

[dreamy notch]

well i can't read

[oak creek]

oh. me neither

[halcyon trellis]

especially because it's a version that's inevitable but currently on a timeframe that's outside the point I'll be able to enjoy it fully

[oak creek]

btw ur smelly

oop

not you diego

well maybe you are too, i dunno

[halcyon trellis]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've been walking for a while so maybe

[oak creek]

if i had been walking for a while here, i just be dead

[dreamy notch]

There's going to be a better version of the game in the pipeline. What it looks like and when it arrives is unknown.

But like, the general attitudes, mostly hostile, don't really help anything, at all.

[oak creek]

ive been saying that last bit for so long

its one thing to voice a criticism, its a completely different thing to be an asshole about it

so many people fail to understand that

[dreamy notch]

I feel that disregarding the art team in lieu of "give update" is uncalled for.

[oak creek]

probably because most people who hop in this discord to complain are literal children that dont quite yet understand the concept that developers are humans with feelings

[oak creek]

disregarding any part of the dev team is uncalled for imo

oki is doing work too. but people have it in their head that if that work isnt being done to their own personal standards of expediency, then its a crime

[dreamy notch]

It feels like they'd rather be told nothing if it isn't the state of the update. Any other info about the contents of said update is white noise.

[halcyon trellis]

Hindsight is one thing but you can't pretend that people haven't been asking for code team expansions for a while

[oak creek]

and you can keep asking all you want

but ultimately its up to oki and the dev team as to how large they want this whole thing to become

hiring new coders isnt a once and done matter

every person hired is a person who needs to be managed, paid, and integrated into the system

[dreamy notch]

Which I'm not going to disagree with, having more hands on deck will help with speed/efficiency. But none of us are Oki, so we can't make that call.

Onboarding is a helluva thing

[halcyon trellis]

He's made his statement about wanting to expand, I just don't get his timing. Supposedly onboarding would delay it, but we've gotten to a point where it's difficult to say it would've taken that much longer looking at all this

It's all one big sunk cost fallacy example

[oak creek]

wanting to expand is one thing, but it can be quite daunting to actually do it when its your precious project on the line if you dont hire the right people

[dreamy notch]

Battlebit is still very much a passion project from my point of view

[oak creek]

mhm

[halcyon trellis]

it's equally on the line when there's no asian population man idk

thin line we're on here

[oak creek]

its just happenstance that it grew to the insane size it did. that was never the intention, and i doubt oki and team ever dared to dream it would grow this big

and like it or not, that was only a year ago

not "an entire year ago"

one year is not a very long time when talking about something as significant as this for oki and team

[halcyon trellis]

ok but it did, he acknowledged that, and had and still has a large amount of potential to work with

[oak creek]

this is probably on the order of "lifechanging" for the three of them

[dreamy notch]

It happening and expecting it to happen are not mutually exclusive

[oak creek]

yes, and you cannot possibly expect him to already know how to deal with that amount of workload if its his first time doing so

[halcyon trellis]

considering he's doing it in every direction but code? idk

[oak creek]

i dont really get what youre saying

[dreamy notch]

He has rebuilt the game from the ground up several times, by himself. I get where Oki is coming from.

[oak creek]

and let me offer a different perspective; oki made battlebit with larry and vil because they wanted to play battlebit

[halcyon trellis]

He's also made clear he wants to work with others to try and make a game people enjoy considering things like feedback team or team expansion

[oak creek]

but now he has no time to play battlebit because he has this feral-ass community breathing down his neck 24/7

thats just outright not fair

battlebit went from a hobby to a job overnight.

[halcyon trellis]

a really well paying job'

[oak creek]

it doesnt matter how well-paying a job is if its unfulfilling and stressful

[halcyon trellis]

I feel like we're kinda going full circle if the pressure is so high why hasn't he taken the time to split the load and instead brute forced this whole, unfulfilling and stressful dev cycle

we're at a crossroads where people are going to be impatient either way

[oak creek]

and i feel like thats a horse that has been beaten dead so many times that the actual answer has gotten lost in translation

[cyan wedge]

wheres the why did he not make documentation and whatever for onboarding before ea started horse

[oak creek]

for a while, the answer i had understood to be the case is that okicode™️ is a very oki thing, and its not like reading english out of a book

[dreamy notch]

other side of the river

[oak creek]

scope

its hard to prepare for things that werent even in the realm of possibility for you at the time

[cyan wedge]

why was onboarding not in the realm of possibility 💀

[halcyon trellis]

That's his reason but again, almost a year stacked on top of just how bad can it physically be

I mean has he tried to teach it to someone

is he assuming it's complicated because it's unconventional?

[oak creek]

if he did, a different group of feral fans would just yell at him for doing that instead of spending time working on the update

[halcyon trellis]

Does it matter who does the yelling tho

[oak creek]

exactly my point

oki is going to get yelled at regardless of what he does

why change the "what" now?

[halcyon trellis]

because one ends with someone to help ig?

[rigid flint]

This is a lesson on why not code in spaghetti

[oak creek]

and that only matters to you because you think thats the correct way forward

oki might not think the same way, so that would matter very little to him

[cyan wedge]

i mean if we wanna go on okis thought process

well

yall remember the inertia thread

😭

[oak creek]

i do not, i was just providing a hypothetical

[halcyon trellis]

Mostly bc his last experience with other coders were facebook developers I mean I feel like his opinion on other coders might be a wee bit biased idk

[dreamy notch]

You should explain it to me in excruciating detail

[cyan wedge]

facebook 😭

[halcyon trellis]

smthn like that

[cyan wedge]

i would rather jump out of a window

[dreamy notch]

Hey, you offered

[cyan wedge]

purely based on that "movement" clip that still gives me brain damage to this day

[oak creek]

yeah sworce, lets not be unreasonable

[cyan wedge]

m93r

[oak creek]

i JUST said lets not be unreasonable

[halcyon trellis]

from the facts I have I think his judgement is based on bad data that's really as far as it goes

He's also kinda stubborn but that's a personality trait you don't really change that

[oak creek]

and thats a fair thing to think, but id argue that lets get good data before making a decision instead of making simply a different decision based on the same bad data?

[dreamy notch]

Being given bad data en masse would also drive me to just choose to do something on my own

[cyan wedge]

cbjms

[oak creek]

and getting this update pushed out will hopefully get us some good data

[dreamy notch]

you can't do that to me

[oak creek]

cherry blossoms

jms

[halcyon trellis]

ok bad data is the wrong phrase I think limited data is more appropriate

[cyan wedge]

[oak creek]

cherry blossom car?

[cyan wedge]

can we get that 12 gauge acr in bbr tho

itll be funny

[oak creek]

saiga?

[cyan wedge]

no

[oak creek]

oh

:(

[cyan wedge]

https://youtu.be/01WLhf-hatQ nvm its scar not acr

[halcyon trellis]

ok well that was riveting discussion that I'm sure was productive to someone

surely

[oak creek]

you said acr, sworce

[cyan wedge]

acr scar fucking jump out of a car

[oak creek]

did you say car?

[vast mason]

No it's an SCR

[dreamy notch]

I've enjoyed my time

[oak creek]

how about a cherry blossom car?

[vast mason]

Not a SCAR

[dreamy notch]

No, it's an MSR

[oak creek]

btw icey youll love this; thats the Alpine hypercar

[cyan wedge]

true

[vast mason]

IT COMES FRom turkey

[oak creek]

why is only half of that capitalised

[halcyon trellis]

hey maybe bring it up in staff testing see what comes up

just for fun

[dreamy notch]

Y'know, I liked the modernized Alpine A110

[cyan wedge]

also scr

[dreamy notch]

I'll take notes

[vast mason]

Rapid tone change

[oak creek]

me too, but wrong definition of hypercar. im talking about the racecar

[oak creek]

Destiny

[dreamy notch]

true!

[vast mason]

Too bad about the petrol

[oak creek]

ive also got a formula e

[cyan wedge]

takt op s2 when

[vast mason]

Propane wood gas is superior

[oak creek]

that proves you didnt watch the show, sworcey

[oak creek]

nah fuck that, gimme that baja BLAYST

[vast mason]

RUNITONWOODGAS

[oak creek]

ill fuck with a rat trap if its for a baja blast

[dreamy notch]

Knew it

[vast mason]

They only trigger if you push down 😜

[cyan wedge]

[oak creek]

or, 16% coal power

[vast mason]

Steam

Texas?

[oak creek]

actually Formula E mostly takes place outside of the US so its probably way lower than 16% coal

[vast mason]

Unless it's in Germany

[oak creek]

everything is in germany

like

berlin

thats in germany

germans

[vast mason]

Everything almost was, a few times...

[oak creek]

theyre in germany too

[dreamy notch]

nuh uh

[oak creek]

im pretty sure france is in germany too

🇫🇷

[vast mason]

It deserves it

[vast mason]

Salt

[oak creek]

"slommy"

[rigid flint]

Is the drink.... Icey?

[dreamy notch]

They call me the

[oak creek]

slommy is an even more uncomfortable word than moist

[dreamy notch]

I think it's nappin time

[dreamy notch]

I have been awake for 22 hours

[oak creek]

im boutta go do some F1 while this weaksauce is gonna take a nappy

[oak creek]

i mean, could have been a human photoshopped

[vast mason]

4 more and you reset your sleep schedule

[dreamy notch]

(insert insult about lost's person here)

[oak creek]

i gotchu

[dreamy notch]

I don't wanna stay up

[oak creek]

yes you do

you havent even had any cake tonight

[dreamy notch]

Night terrors fucked up my sleep last night

[rigid flint]

What are night terrors

[oak creek]

lol wut

that gif was inexplicable

[halcyon trellis]

Ok so apparently helldivers currently proves why weekly updates are also not the way to go

[vast mason]

Dreams that you aren't asleep for completely, but are still asleep

[halcyon trellis]

They added a new feature but it just wipes your team every 5 minutes and people are not very happy

[oak creek]

these, queenqueen

[vast mason]

They just have dipshit balance

[oak creek]

these are night terrors

[rigid flint]

Is it like you think youre awake but you cant move your body

[oak creek]

[halcyon trellis]

haha no it is so much worse rn

[dreamy notch]

Akin to sleep walking but there's screaming and involuntary movement while still in bed

[vast mason]

No, that's sleep paralysis

[rigid flint]

I think youre possessed

[dreamy notch]

Intense fear more so

Probably

[oak creek]

ever considered taking part in a sleep study?

[vast mason]

They are also using a game engine that was discontinued like 6 years ago

[cyan wedge]

What I miss

[halcyon trellis]

the entire map is constantly hit with random, untargeted orbital barrages near you

[halcyon trellis]

they can and will hit you

[cyan wedge]

🔥

Automaton modifier?

[vast mason]

Dss

[cyan wedge]

Or planet trait

[vast mason]

DSS

[oak creek]

is helldivers the kind of game where the devs are constantly trying to make it harder for people to reach the endgame?

[vast mason]

No

[rigid flint]

Demonic State of Scotland

[oak creek]

oh

[vast mason]

They have no fucking clue what they are doing lol

[oak creek]

RIP

[halcyon trellis]

no lmfao it's the new feature 1 month in the making that people donated samples for

it's supposed to be a bonus

[cyan wedge]

[oak creek]

wait what

[cyan wedge]

thanks ah

[halcyon trellis]

the other 2 things that you can donate for are constant random eagle airstrikes or everyone gets that one hellpod space booster

[oak creek]

have they just let machine learning run rampant with the game without vetting the shit the machine adds to the game?

[vast mason]

Yep you donate samples to have random precision strikes hit your map it seems

[halcyon trellis]

maybe

[halcyon trellis]

"precision"

[oak creek]

that doesnt sound like a bonus at all

[halcyon trellis]

ideally it blows up the enemy

[rigid flint]

Hell divers had a nerf update that got a lot of backlash and now people are just using it as a counterargument to every single nerfs in other pve games

[halcyon trellis]

but it's just really fucking good at blowing you up instead

[vast mason]

Ideally it should TARGET enemies

[oak creek]

well, maybe ideally for a targetted airstrike. but if its random, i dont think an "ideally" exists, otherwise it wouldnt be random

[rigid flint]

"the grenade launcher is overpowered and makes every engagement trivial"
"But muh helldivers"

[halcyon trellis]

it's supposed to be random but it seems to prefer blowing you up

[vast mason]

Also there are random eagle strafe runs you can use

[oak creek]

oof, so its even worse

[halcyon trellis]

ok but space marine's newest difficulty was dogass doodoo caca and came with shit tier bolter buffs

[oak creek]

ouch just poked me eyeball

[halcyon trellis]

omg 17% for the gun that needs 5 headshots to kill waow

[rigid flint]

I'm talking about the people defending the grenade launcher bolter.

[oak creek]

thanks, this made me genuinely chuckle lol

[vast mason]

Its one of my favorite oof memes

[oak creek]

is that graph real or bullshitted?

[halcyon trellis]

The people saying they should've focused on buffing to the playing field were and are right

[vast mason]

It's >probably real

[rigid flint]

Hellbrute? Auspex and grenade dump and its gone

[oak creek]

if so, i wonder what the actual cause for the spike is

like...

[opaque ingot]

Oof

[oak creek]

surely its not soldiers literally saying "oof" on the frontlines... right?

[rigid flint]

The usage of oof skyrocketed after operation Barbarossa

[oak creek]

which is...?

[vast mason]

There's no identifying data on the graph, so it's a guess

[halcyon trellis]

there's a few of these graphs about google searches but I'm pretty sure it's some stupid shit like how many times it's listed as a word in a document that might simply be misread

[oak creek]

yeah, it doesnt even say whether its spoken language, or like word stats pulled from the encyclopedia britannica

[cyan wedge]

oh when did they add t5 modules

[vast mason]

They are usually how many times a word is searched or used in a search

[rigid flint]

Yeah.... The wannsee conference and the final solution

[halcyon trellis]

ok but were people really using google in the 1800s

something's fishy
