[hollow tundra]

sick light parries

[bitter granite]

Honestly feel like Ash’s kit need a upgrade

They keep releasing frames that does Ash but better, same for Frost

[hollow mirage]

Ash can absolutely delete rooms without taking a scratch or even be seen

Frost does stuff better than some newer frames as well

their kits honestly dont need touched

[atomic spear]

i just need a pumkin head for kullervo and my pumpkin look is done

[hollow mirage]

maybe increase Ash's smokescreen duratonn by a few seconds

[atomic spear]

i think i nailed the colors already

maybe the alt helmet will do it

need some primary exhilirate for rauta

[velvet parrot]

I'm using the commando guns in cod lol

Akimbo is so op on them

[proud wren]

Bruh what

Have you seen his four

All you have to do to play ash is go invisible and cast four

Get the rising storm augment for him as well

[onyx loom]

i think frost can perform well but I'd like some sort of rework to make him a touch more fun

[oblique radish]

make his 1st skill do a chaining freeze effect. the first enemy hit with it will freeze, and have an aura. other enemies in the aura slowdown untill they freeze if they stay in it enough.

I thought of that one a while ago

[hollow mirage]

that sounds good

[proud wren]

interesting

[hollow mirage]

good mod

[proud wren]

i was interested the fact that there was a ephemera that i've never seen before at the shop

[hollow mirage]

a must have for phantasma

yea its his new item

[proud wren]

it's kinda lame

[hollow mirage]

DE seriously needs to just give us feet and body slots for ephemeras

[proud wren]

i like the idea of the rippling water

but would i rather use it over somethingl ike vengeful toxin? no.

[hollow mirage]

why we need a feet slot

[proud wren]

they can be a part of auxilary

might get this cause i got the mantis ship from prime gaming

[neat ingot]

anyone wanna play a different game

open to anything

[hollow mirage]

play against goose in a furry feet speedrun

[neat ingot]

i have no idea what u just said lol

[bitter granite]

play against goose in a furry feet speedrun

[neat ingot]

yeeah no

[atomic spear]

it's so lackluster

wasn't worth it at all

sad i cant get k drive scrawl to work on my board

his is nice

i picked up fog of war ephemera at its so damn dark

i shouldn't ahve bought it

no matter what color

i should ahve gotten aegrit instead

did get the last styanax part tho

[hollow mirage]

oh it’s so good, put it on a frame you’ve forma’d to use the 2nd energy color

you can have the black smoke while your forearms and legs glow

it looks so good

screenshots really dont do it justice

[proud wren]

why did you buy it lmao

you're complaining about credits and then you go and buy a shitty ephemera lol

[proud wren]

i love fog of war ephemera, it's actually just the better vengeful toxin

def one of the best ephemeras there are

[onyx loom]

i like to use ephemeras that aren't super on your face so i'm pretty happy with the new baro ephemera tbh

i use tenebrous a lot, that one's cool

[hollow mirage]

id use tenebrous more often if it didnt disappear on my frames

i dunno what causes it, but whenever i'd play Baruuk it just eventually disappears

[stuck grove]

Do any of yall play War Thunder, England in particular because I have a question about one of the early tanks

[small glacier]

I love seeing internet discourse on literally any popular thing

Like for example, 95% of people who played Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have an opinion somewhere along the lines of “they run horribly but the gameplay is the best in the series hands down, the series has been stale for decades and it’s good that it’s finally changing”

And then a loud minority are pissing and moaning about how they ruined the gameplay loop and gen 10 should go back to how the series was for gen 1-8

[stuck grove]

Wait what? I like everything about SV except for the chunky animations at a distance

[small glacier]

I know that’s literally how opinions work, but it’s amusing how 5% of people think devs should ignore the 95% and say the next games SHOULD be a certain way

Yeah Scarlet and Violet are great if you ignore the fact that they’re a technical dumpster fire, I’m part of the 95%

[stuck grove]

My absolute favorite part about SV is that Dusk Lycanroc, my favorite evo of my favorite mon, is actually easy to get instead of event or dlc locked.

I've been hoping for Lycanroc in Unite, but I dont think he's getting in.

[small glacier]

SV did a lot of great things like that. And then some people are choosing to complain about the one thing people almost unanimously agree was the right direction for the series

[coarse tartan]

I love how volcarona was easy to get

[near sentinel]

I haven't touched a PKMN game since SWSH

and I don't intend to

[small glacier]

Totally fair, they’re like the McDonald’s of video games

Pay full price for a product that’s garbage, but it IS tasty garbage

[near sentinel]

all I know about Scarelt and Violet is the graphics are bad
like inexcuably bad

[stuck grove]

SWSH was, honestly, not good but it was a good introduction to pokemon out in the open.

[near sentinel]

Nintendo just doesn't respect Pokemon like their other IP's
simple as

[stuck grove]

Man, I'm sick of everyone shitting on graphics. Especially Arceus.

[coarse tartan]

The graphics and bugs are quite bad so if you don't like that I definitely wouldn't pay 60 dollars for it

[small glacier]

Nintendo doesn’t own Pokémon, technically

[near sentinel]

why?

[stuck grove]

Because any time I see someone mention Arceus or SV its always "ooooh, graphics bad, dont buy, bad game"

[small glacier]

Well the games kinda deserve it. They do not look good. I love the series but why pretend that they look good, they don’t

[coarse tartan]

Gamefreak does yea, but if they're being paid top dollar to make pokemon games they should make them look good

[drifting kernel]

arent they only given like
a year to make them tho

[near sentinel]

yeah that's what I mean by Nintendo doesn't respect Pokemon

[small glacier]

Here’s the thing, I and the other billion rabid fans are going to buy them anyway. So why put more dev resources than the bare minimum

[stuck grove]

Like yeah, it isnt great, but geez, at least try to bring up something else instead of the same dry argument.

[coarse tartan]

Well I mean arceus and SV are 60 dollars, and at that point you probably want to get your money's worth

[hollow mirage]

things can still look really bad though.

things dont need to look super realistic, but they cant look like dough either

[small glacier]

And for people who care about graphics and performance there’s zero chance I’d recommend them a mainline pokémon game outside of gen 3 or 5, because they do NOT deliver on that

[near sentinel]

like I refuse to believe their heart was in it past Sun and Moon
after SM it was joever

[hollow mirage]

graphics can be bad, and those are worth complaining about.

[stuck grove]

I measure monetary value in games based on how long I can play before I get bored. Arceus and SV were honestly a good 90 hours, 90 dollars. Now the DLC probably wont be worth it tho

[hollow mirage]

but graphics that arent realistic, are not worth complaining about

[small glacier]

Yeah, me too. I love Pokémon and will buy the new game every time, but there’s no denying that they’re kinda bad in a lot of ways. Not ways that are important to me, but I understand why they’re not for everyone

[near sentinel]

i'm glad the DS era of Pokemon games went out with a bang though

[stuck grove]

Yeah, but in my opinion they peaked with BW/B2W2

[hollow mirage]

and a game at least being pleasant to look at can greatly effect the enjoyment of the experience

[coarse tartan]

So true

[small glacier]

I think overall every gen is better than the last, they’re always one step forward one step back but trending slightly upward

Favorite single mainline game is probably either Alpha Sapphire or Legends Arceus though

[drifting kernel]

my ass having almost 300 hours on sun 🗿

[near sentinel]

lol
I struggle to remember anything about let's go pikachu and eevee past the game had nice visuals
the starter pikachu/Eevee just has insanely good stats that made the game a breeze

[stuck grove]

One thing I want to say that I think they did well with SWSH was Hop's arc. I couldnt care about the rest too much, but Hop's arc and especially final battle music was just phenomenal.

[drifting kernel]

pokeball controller

[small glacier]

90% of the reason I like Ori WotW way better than Hollow Knight right here

[near sentinel]

OH YEAH

I had one of those

[stuck grove]

Lets Go was great if you wanted to play with a little sibling. My sister loved joining me and actually being there.

[drifting kernel]

oh yeah i have the fucking lunala and solgaleo 3ds

[near sentinel]

being 2 player as well was a big thing for a main line game

[small glacier]

I played Let’s Go with my nephew, we each got to choose half of the team

[coarse tartan]

Hollow knight still looks great but I won't argue that ori wotw looks worse in any way

[small glacier]

I don’t remember the team fully but his favorite was Vaporeon I think

[hollow mirage]

hey guys, did you know in terms of-

[stuck grove]

I was hoping Arceus would be 2p as well, with Rau occasionally joining you as you brought a second player, shame it didnt happen that way.

[near sentinel]

beat me to it

damnit

[coarse tartan]

You should obliterate NOW

[proud wren]

i agree, but i also think that the graphic designers for ori should just go help with a movie or somethin

[small glacier]

pokémon my little nephew likes, Vaporeon is his favorite? With strong water type attacks and I assume his favorite color’s probably blue (never asked), it’s a natural pick for a favorite!

[near sentinel]

yeah, totally what they were gonna say

[proud wren]

she even has acid armor!

[near sentinel]

my main issues with PKMN SWSH are balance ones

[hollow mirage]

[coarse tartan]

Offtopic but I think bug type is super underrated

[small glacier]

I think my nephew’s Vaporeon was a guy actually

[stuck grove]

Now I dont want to say its wrong to have vap be your favorite, but Leafeon is so cute that you're wrong to have another favorite.

[near sentinel]

now yeah
Pokemon games aren't exactly some exemplerary example of a well balanced game but god fucking damn
SWSH it was egregious

[drifting kernel]

even better

[small glacier]

True actually

[drifting kernel]

anyways umbreon >>>

[coarse tartan]

Wrong jolteon better

[near sentinel]

the XP candies were so horridly overpowered
the starter pokemons signature moves are horribly overpowered

[stuck grove]

Dont mention SWSH, dont even mention BDSP, that didnt balance out from the addition of new moves or the fact that fairy types now exist.

[near sentinel]

I had an Inteleon
and I beat Leon just by spamming it's signature move

[small glacier]

The Eeveelution tier list

SSS: Leafeon
SS: Jolteon, Glaceon
S: the others, no particular order

[stuck grove]

Wait I just noticed your pfp Sparky

[coarse tartan]

Pretty agreeable

[near sentinel]

and the story is eh

some enjoyable characters here and there

but the actual story was kinda ass
just like Skyward Sword actually

[stuck grove]

I used monke, until I replaced it with some other thing

[coarse tartan]

I think SV had a pretty good storyline in terms of pokemon games

[stuck grove]

Speaking of Legend of Zelda, anyone have some cool-looking fusions for ToTK?

Shit I havent beaten SV yet, just got to the last leg.

[proud wren]

i stopped playing right after i beat the game

[coarse tartan]

For infinite fusion? Golurk and donphan

[near sentinel]

i'll say this
the only reason BOTW isn't my least favorite Zelda game is because Skyward Sword exists

[small glacier]

Haven’t played ToTK but I once saw someone build a wooden man with a giant wee wee

[stuck grove]

Oh...

[near sentinel]

I think Chairman Rose was such a flop of what could've been a good villain

he reminded me of Lysandre

[stuck grove]

Yeeeeeeeeeah, he had a very cool theme though.

[near sentinel]

also I think SWSH should've had voice acting
if not for the entire game, just for big cutscenes

[coarse tartan]

Not really sure why people bash the story of XY and praise the story of DPP though

[stuck grove]

I loved the "rosa seda credo"

[near sentinel]

I think so many potentially "cool" moments in SWSH fall flat because of the lack of voice acting

same with cutscenes i've seen of Scarlet and Violet

[stuck grove]

and recycled animations that just have no impact

[coarse tartan]

With SV it does pretty actively feel detrimental

[small glacier]

Saw someone’s video essay of how to make Rose good without changing much of anything, it basically boiled down to

• introduce his worry for the future earlier in the game
• have people keep brushing him off because it’s a thousand years before it’ll matter, and he gets tense about the whole thing
• eventually he snaps and the fact that he’s suddenly insane at the tournament makes sense

[stuck grove]

I'll be real, I loved the final battle with Nemona after becoming a Champion-level trainer, especially with Larry, god I love Larry, showing up

[coarse tartan]

Nemona didn't hit with me at all actually

It's not that she's a bad character I just think she isn't very impactful

[near sentinel]

also just
I feel like having Chairman Roses main pokemon be weak to one of the 3 starters is a questionable choice

[drifting kernel]

larry ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[small glacier]

My one real complaint about the SV story is that in Area Zero there are four people around a door that’s about to open to reveal something dangerous and it DOESN’T start a scripted raid battle, massive missed opportunity

[near sentinel]

same reason Hau in Sun and Moon picking the pokemon that's always weak to yours is questionable

[stuck grove]

Biased, she had Lycanroc. I love Lycanroc, gotta love Lycanroc. Midday Lycanroc vs my Dusk Lycanroc who had been with me from the beginning, was actually really close.

[coarse tartan]

Never thought about thay but yeah that does seem like a pretty missed opportunity

[small glacier]

It’s so Kukui can have the one strong to yours for the champion battle

[coarse tartan]

On the topic though clavell with the meowscarada actually did throw me off quite a lot, and as a result it was probably the hardest battle in the game for me

[small glacier]

Best part about SWSH’s story was the Eternatus raid, awesome music, great design for a boss character, a highlight that felt like it belonged in an actually good game

[near sentinel]

fighting with Sif and Zamazenta was cool

[small glacier]

I did like SwSh overall but the music really carried

[near sentinel]

but like Eternatus, while cool in the moment
underwhelms me, when you actually catch him

it's the biggest "boss when you unlock them as a playable character" meme ever

[stuck grove]

Ye, my biggest gripe with SV on the other hand is that it didnt incorporate Arceus' catch and attack style mechanics.

[coarse tartan]

I like eternatus only because it's pretty much the first poison type legendary

[stuck grove]

It's poison?

[small glacier]

I think Eternamax Eternatus should be allowed for standard online play

[near sentinel]

dark poison I think

[small glacier]

Dragon poison I thought?

[stuck grove]

Oh, I never used it after catching.

[coarse tartan]

Yeah it's dragon poison

Dark/poison would have been cooler though honestly

[near sentinel]

also, reserving the box legendaries for post game was not the right call imo

why would you care at that point?

[stuck grove]

Yeah, bigtime.

[near sentinel]

you've beaten the game

[small glacier]

I never use the legendaries on my team anyway

Overpowered in a series that’s already notoriously easy

[stuck grove]

Wait doesnt SV do that too?

[near sentinel]

I feel like you at least wanna take them on a stroll before you stick them in a box

[small glacier]

Kinda, you have them the whole time but they can only be used in battle postgame

[near sentinel]

that's even worse

[coarse tartan]

Well you get to use the box legendary in the very last battle which is technically postgame

[stuck grove]

I see, at least they're there.

[coarse tartan]

Postgame as in "you're champion" though

[near sentinel]

they blueball you pretty hard

that's callous

[small glacier]

I DID use Latias in Alpha Sapphire because she appears pretty early and I like Latias

That’s kinda it for legendaries I’ve actually used on a team

Outside of Shaymin in online battles anyway

[stuck grove]

To be fair, you can be champion fairly fast if you focus on that route. I did that last which took me forever because the Fighting type Star Leader was a pain in my butt.

[coarse tartan]

I'm pretty sure that they lock most of the paradox pokemon behind the actual postgame though

[small glacier]

Nuh uh! You can catch most of them for the last hour of the story

In a 40 hour game

[stuck grove]

Really hitting them with the "Nuh uh!"

[near sentinel]

we need more Pokemon games with actual, tangible and substantial post game content
USUM had team rainbow rocket for example

Team Rainbow Rocket was awesome

[coarse tartan]

Fym nuh uh I could only find scream tail and flutter mane when I went there first

[small glacier]

I swear I saw all of them but Roaring Moon my first go

And I hadn’t found the cave RM spawns in

[coarse tartan]

I was searching literally everywhere for a slither wing

I could not get my hands on one till actual postgame though

[stuck grove]

Mkay I'm going back to my Tank Game so no talking about Lycanroc for any reason without me, continue talking about things I do not understand.

[small glacier]

Okay now that they’re gone, Lycanroc is a STINKY TURD hahahha

(I have the sense of humor of a 9 year old)

[near sentinel]

Pokken Tournament was a pretty fun game

[stuck grove]

[near sentinel]

remember that?
it was like a tekken style pokemon fighting game

[coarse tartan]

Yeah I remember pokken

I loved chandelure

[small glacier]

I made my friends stop playing with me because I spammed projectiles as Braixen because I was like 13 when the game came out and I thought projectile spam was fun

[near sentinel]

I was also around the same age

[small glacier]

Nevermind I was 14

[near sentinel]

Pokken Tournament is why Garchomp is my favorite pokemon now

[stuck grove]

I shouldn’t have gone back to tank game

[small glacier]

All my mains in any fighting game around that time were projectile spammers

[near sentinel]

you'd love Zoners

[atomic spear]

i don't want black smoke

i want like actual white fog

[atomic spear]

i bought it with stock

actually i no longer have a credit problem

i sold my duplicate mods

nearly 3 million credits

way better thant he 30k endo it would ahve gone for

those gold railjack mods are worth a fortune each

which is great because most of them are worthless

[hollow mirage]

you should have taken the endo imo, but endo can be farmed for

and also ayatans

[coarse tartan]

Worth a fortune??? Like we're rich??

[atomic spear]

like thousands

gold mods are always worth a ton

[hollow mirage]

actuallyyyyyy, speaking of railjack

[atomic spear]

speaking of which...

[hollow mirage]

you've done quite a lot of it havent you

[atomic spear]

kahls stock is worth 5000 each

like each

[hollow mirage]

have you gone through your scrap parts you've picked up

[atomic spear]

too many times to get anything at this pint

tired of looking

[proud wren]

all that endo...

[atomic spear]

not needed

[proud wren]

gonna need it later though

[atomic spear]

i picked up dozens of sculptures in arbititration

[hollow mirage]

thats good

[atomic spear]

they drop like candy in arbitration it's annoying

[proud wren]

primed mods need 40k endo to max

[hollow mirage]

no, thats a great thing how is it annoying???

[proud wren]

^^^

being short on endo is a fucking pain in the ass

[atomic spear]

because if you want something besides a sculpture

[proud wren]

there's a lot of prime mods, and each one takes 40k to max

[atomic spear]

i'm not pleased to see a sculpture when i finsih a sortie or archon mission

[proud wren]

alongside with all the goddamn galvanized mods

[hollow mirage]

the sculptures will always come in handy

[atomic spear]

i've maxed all the galvan mods i'm using

[hollow mirage]

ok, pineapple after a sortie/archon is understandable

but during arbitrations

[proud wren]

honestly me neither cause i'd rather have rivens but after streaks of getting them the endo does come in handy

[atomic spear]

what i really want os the damn legendary core so i can upgrade ffree

[hollow mirage]

good luck

[proud wren]

yeah good fuckin luck

[atomic spear]

yeah not in my lifetime

[proud wren]

actually

[hollow mirage]

I've gotten 2 somehow

[proud wren]

unless you become MR 30

doc don't say "somehow" it's not a miracle

[hollow mirage]

but I've seen people who havent gotten one over the course of 5 years

[atomic spear]

and even with all th endo in the world i'm still waiting for baro each week

credits are the bigger problem

[hollow mirage]

which ones are you even using

im curious

[atomic spear]

i did just blow like 90k endo

[proud wren]

casually ignores index

[hollow mirage]

"i hate index"

[atomic spear]

i ahte index

[hollow mirage]

[proud wren]

he complaines about the index SO much

[hollow mirage]

understandable though

[proud wren]

about credit loss i mean

he complains about credits and then just like

[hollow mirage]

I hate index too, but thats just because its so boring

[atomic spear]

that's just from the quest

[proud wren]

refuses to use the best credit farm

[hollow mirage]

Tavaer, do you have a Stropha?

[atomic spear]

no

[hollow mirage]

should get it, then you can just go solo index

[proud wren]

ngl me neither

[atomic spear]

isn't that from granum void?

[hollow mirage]

or maybe your syam would work.
you'd have to check yourself

[atomic spear]

syam does work

[hollow mirage]

take Rhino and some strong ass weapon to index

and just solo it.

[atomic spear]

you know what works jsut as well?
Cinta

one shotting those index mfers

the problem is finding them

good thing they are only level 30

[proud wren]

how is finding them the issue

just use a companion who has animal instinct

[atomic spear]

they like to hide

[proud wren]

ANIMAL INSTINCT

[atomic spear]

i got it

[atomic spear]

don't want to go face first into auditor rushing about

[proud wren]

if you don't wanna use animal instinct, there's a form of enemy radar as a aura

[hollow mirage]

you cant take companions into index

[proud wren]

fuck

[hollow mirage]

so it'd have to be the aura

[proud wren]

i haven't played index in a long time (i don't need credits )

[atomic spear]

well i still have a million left over so i'm good till baro shows next time

[hollow mirage]

yea throw that aura on then if you got it

[atomic spear]

spent 125k on a mop lmao

[hollow mirage]

MOP PRIME

[proud wren]

AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT CREDITS

[atomic spear]

i got money lmao

[hollow mirage]

1mil is nothing, kinda

[proud wren]

^^

[atomic spear]

G-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s

my orbiter flyin first class

mop in the sky

drinkin kuva

[proud wren]

i wish they would make rivens for just companions themselves, not the weapons

i want to make my kavat fucking invincible

[hollow mirage]

if youre using drifter camp, theres a spot in the orbiter thats just a wet puddle on the ground. put the mop prime by that

[proud wren]

she's already a shield gating beast but she can still die and that's an issue

[hollow mirage]

I would sell my kidney for a Carrier riven

[proud wren]

i'd sell one of my nuts for a kavat riven

[hollow mirage]

Warframe Rivens when

[atomic spear]

i really want a damn duviri skin for vulpa

wait you can decorate the camp?

[proud wren]

i think so

[hollow mirage]

tfw Invigorations are actually just week long Warframe rivens

yep

inside the orbiter and outside

[proud wren]

i should probably get a better amp for my operator

im still rocking the little pea shooter from new war

what's worse is that im getting more interested in eidolon hunts

[hollow mirage]

I have 2 amps rn, one for eidolons and one for general use thats really good at killing enemies

[proud wren]

they should really make it need more cores

[hollow mirage]

cores very easy to stock up on

[proud wren]

exactly i just gave 73 for standing

for some reason all of my operator's gold gets turned to white in onkko's gamer cave

[fervent tapir]

finally put a my first maudari lens on mesa now i am a real gamer

i've only put zenurik lenses on everything i use so my zenurik tree is like nearly complete and everything else is empty

[proud wren]

renamed my rabvee cause the old name was slightly cringe

[proud wren]

same here except i've slightly invested in the melee focused tree

naramon

it comes in handy sometimes

[hollow mirage]

thats really good

[proud wren]

exactly

i just came up with it on the spot

the creative juices are flowing

[hollow mirage]

good good

[proud wren]

[hollow mirage]

oh no

[proud wren]

it's gonna be like tf2 sprays watch

[near sentinel]

Yep that’ll end well

Unless it’s actually moderated unlike what Valve does with tf2

[hollow mirage]

i doubt it

have you seen whats uploaded publicly?

you dont have to go far to see children in big tiddy fnaf models.
the game isnt moderated in the fuckin slightest. only until people get reported does anything happen

[near sentinel]

Welp then yeah it’ll be sprays /signs in tf2 all over again

[bitter granite]

Me just chilling in circuit trying to get my stuff done with Nidus
Random Harrow on my team: I hate Nidus’ playstyle of killing big groups of enemies, I’m trying to snipe and your ruining the experience for me

Dude just kept going on and on complaining about Nidus and not being able to snipe for the last two minutes of the survival

And than telling me to make sure I stay far away from him so he can snipe, bro the time has 10 seconds left shut up

[hollow mirage]

ew, CoD player detected

[stuck grove]

Man, I hope England feels bad about making the Daimler Mk II because this armoured car is cringe

[hollow mirage]

true Warframe players dont care about sniping, they want to blow shit up and kill as many enemies possible as quickly as possible

[stuck grove]

Oh when I played I just beat everything with a stick

[hollow mirage]

castle

[kindred orchid]

im happy with it

one of my better builds

[bitter granite]

The rest of us were doing just that with my max range Nidus

Just this one guy had a problem with it

[coarse tartan]

This looks nice!

[hollow mirage]

so many things, and i'll keep saving

[stuck grove]

I remember back when items were easier to get in Rocket League, random, but not grindy and limited

[hollow mirage]

they were literally loot boxes

that you had to PAY MONEY TO OPEN

[stuck grove]

No I mean the after-match random drops

not the crates

[hollow mirage]

"not grindy"

[stuck grove]

Yeah literally just play the game. Now its play the game and spend money for a random drop blueprint or grind out challenges or rocket pass for these drops. The daily ones arent grindy though

[hollow mirage]

these item drops are from playing the game

[onyx loom]

rocket league was my first time getting a loot box and as a child that was the most impossible to understand thing ever in terms of "i won the match and earned this thing, but why isn't it mine yet"

[hollow mirage]

and its actually able to drop crate items

[stuck grove]

Rocket League was my "Okay I got a nice item, I will trade it for keys to buy an item I want OR use it on a crate(unpreferred)"

[hollow mirage]

these are from doing weekly and seasonal challenges, as well as the free tier of the rocket pass

and events

like rn I can get something similar to those toolkits, becuse its birthday event

[stuck grove]

For the import one that absolutely just feels like a grind for a random mediocre item. Doing all those seasonal challenges, some of which just felt like "Do 9000 backflips in a single jump while holding a lighter without the lighter going out" though I heard they changed the challenges to be less grindy so this is just past experience, not present.

[bronze jacinth]

birthday event?

[hollow mirage]

mhm, 8y

[stuck grove]

Yeah, rocket league anniversary, you can get golden eggs by playing 20 matches, up to 5 I think?

[hollow mirage]

couple free items, 300 credits for free

[bronze jacinth]

nice

[hollow mirage]

a baller overpried decakl

[bronze jacinth]

gotta love when stuff is overpriced

[hollow mirage]

but like...black and white decal

black and white stormwatch

another one

see what I mean? 1 a week and another 6 over the course of the season, and 3 extras for getting 22 of the 24 free challenges done

[stuck grove]

Oh that? Yeah that isnt even worth a cent to me. I like color, which is different to everyone else who likes to rock the same preset. Originality in rocket league is a rarity.

[hollow mirage]

Im showing that these are what replaced the piss poor fucking drop rates of post match items

and ngl I like these A LOT MORE

I would go WEEEEEEEEEKS of playing daily without getting a rare boost to try and trade up to a painted car

[stuck grove]

What replaced the poor drop rates is more poor drop rates of monetised blueprints.

[hollow mirage]

THESE ARE ITEMS

MY GUY

who cares about the blueprints

we are able to get more items

free crates go brrr

[stuck grove]

Those are crates you pay with grinding out challenges. What I would really like is the small chance to get uncommon drops since uncommon items are so hard to get now. I want to play the game without worrying about doing specific tasks and still get items more than once a week.

[hollow mirage]

I even made some credits off of a lucky blueprint drop.

I got a black dual dragons that someone bought from me for 100 credits or whatever

[stuck grove]

Like, I do like that the crates are fairly easy to get, but again, I really hate doing challenges, I just want to go up in competitive.

[hollow mirage]

how grindy.

so grindy I know right?

[stuck grove]

I already said the weekly ones arent grindy.

[hollow mirage]

you dont even have to try 99% of the time and you'll get em. there was one I hated which was to hold other team to 0 goals for 2 matches in a row. that was AWFUL

[stuck grove]

Though I think I accidentally called them daily

[hollow mirage]

there arent daily, sadly. would be nice.

the seasonal arent bad either. rn, the first stage has play 20 casual matches, 50k total xp, and 300 points in 30 matches

[stuck grove]

yeah, if you could get these drops more often, like if they were daily for an uncommon drop, i would be more than content.

[hollow mirage]

I dont have to waste money on crate garbage when I can get garbage out of these for free because I got them from just playing the game

I've been burned so much from crates, so im glad theyre fucking gone

[stuck grove]

I'm glad they're gone too, but the blueprint prices are fuckin ridiculous, and dont get me started on the prices of licensed items that used to be like 5-10 bucks.

and all the fomo

[hollow mirage]

correction, they used to be like $3 and now are $10

[stuck grove]

10-15 depending on if its a bundle or not.

[hollow mirage]

yea

my very first painted car through a tradeup was a TW Merc. I mained it pretty hard for a little after that

[stuck grove]

My first was a lime Venom, which was almost nice because I use the Venom and other Hybrid Hitboxes, my current most used is the Insidio.

[hollow mirage]

then I got 2 purple x-devils in a row

and I think at this point I had roughly 200-300 hours.

so...100 hours of gameplay to get a single painted car through tradeups.

you see why i fucking hate it?

[stuck grove]

Do Roadhog XLs even exist anymore? I haven't seen a single one since the change.

[hollow mirage]

100 hours for this piece of junk

[stuck grove]

Well it could be worse

[hollow mirage]

I saw one in the item shop a couple months ago.

[stuck grove]

It could be like, two lime backfires

Aw beans.

[hollow mirage]

im sure theyre still in the drop table

the super inflated drop table

ALSO
another semi good thing about f2p and credits and removal of keys

some items got cheaper.

because before, the cheapest an item could go would be 1 key, or an item.
now you could get some stuff for 20 credits, which is like 20 cents

also these golden eggs/toolkits tend to send for 100c each, so a free 500 for grinding out an event aint too bad?

[stuck grove]

Oh yeah, I loved seeing people freak out about "the market is crashing, the market is crashing!" when the change went through... Maybe it did, maybe it didnt, I dunno.

[hollow mirage]

apparently it has been a little

saw some video about it, guy showed graphs for popular items and how their prices were dropping

I pray for Honda CRX to be put in the game

my club is me and only me, and its just named "psyonix pls add the crx"

[stuck grove]

I pray for more original cars, I like seeing what they can come up with themselves, not saying the licensed cars arent good.

[hollow mirage]

if we can get a Honda Civic, and a Volkswagen Golf, I imagine we can get this

theyve mostly been just from rocket passes now I think

[stuck grove]

Yeah we havent had a drop car since the Mamba or Jackal, whichever came last.

[hollow mirage]

OK CORRECTION

we got this car for free a little bit ago, breakout hitbox

[stuck grove]

We had the redline event I missed from moving, that sucked.

[hollow mirage]

but, yea...limited.

[stuck grove]

Yeah, that.

I was so excited for it.

TW Scarab

[hollow mirage]

it wasnt hard to get. a little tricky but I got it

dont worry about it

uh...look at this car with cool flames

[stuck grove]

Ah! The emporer, I used that to make what was, in my opinion, a better Bumblebee car.

[hollow mirage]

I feel so scammed I cant used scorched and frozen on separate teams

funny endo decal

[stuck grove]

Yea, I wish they let you use varients of the same car on different teams. I dont like the Remix's orange it gets on the last verison.

[onyx loom]

looks like you hit a toddler

[hollow mirage]

I think I hit more than just a toddler

[stuck grove]

I love my Lizzy.

[hollow mirage]

thats I think bedazzled paint finish or something?

where it sorta looks like scales

[stuck grove]

It's Ombre with Dino primary and Sequins secondary, yeah

[hollow mirage]

I dont have many paint finishes

[stuck grove]

I got too many at this point, it takes too long to get to what I want.

[hollow mirage]

what rank did you get in comp?

[stuck grove]

In comp, my highest ever was D1div2 before I fell back down to Plat.

[hollow mirage]

nice, i managed to hit D3 in 2s last season, and rn im D2

[stuck grove]

I might have gotten a diamond reward at some point tho, its all on 3s tho.

[hollow mirage]

before I quit, after the epic acquisition, I barely could manage gold

did people just get worse? or I somehow get better from not playing the game

I went from barely getting G1 to getting P2 after my placement matches first time after like 3 years

[stuck grove]

When I started comp it was Season 3 before the reboot.

I was shit at the time

now im shinier shit

[hollow mirage]

I started in 2018, saw the release of the first 2 rocket passes, then the Epic and f2p thing happened, saw an exotic BP costed $25, promptly unninstalled thinking i'd never return

[unreal wren]

average lambo driver

[hollow mirage]

I tried to play a couple times throughout that time, but would just get stomped in casual and id unninstall again

I dunno why the 3rd time I tried again, I decided to stick it out.
can I just say HOW FUCKING AWFUL CASUAL MMR IS

STOP FUCKING PUTTING ME AGAINST CHAMP PLAYERS

MY MMR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE 1200 OR WHATEVER

THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT

[stuck grove]

Dude, fuck Casual, thats why I play competitive.

[hollow mirage]

I dont even play comp for the rank, I just play to get against people who are my skill level

which is a great mindset to have in ranked, it keeps me from getting tilted

just dont give a shit about your rank its so easy

wish everyone else could have the same mindset, but NO

[stuck grove]

And yeah, it was apparently season 13 I got my Diamond wheels and never since. Probably doesnt help I went on hiatus.

[hollow mirage]

It hurts so much to still be solo queueing

one time.
I've had a friend to play comp with once.

then he blocked me because "I dont play like a gold" when we were losing a match after proudly saying I finally hit gold.

i've met a couple people, but one only invites me for tournaments and everyone else I have a few good matches with then never play again.

god, fuck this game sometimes.
but I keep playing because its a loop of sometimes feeling amazing, then wanting to rip my hair out because I fucked up a save

[stuck grove]

My buddy stopped playing the game a while back, same time I went on Hiatus, but he never came back.

[hollow mirage]

theres 1 thing I really need to drill into this dense fucking skull of mine, which I say perfectly fine to other people
"mistakes happen"

but when I make a mistake, I get upset.
I'm very hard on myself because I dont want to let my teammate down

I need to just chill tf out

[stuck grove]

I shout into the abyss anytime anyone, including me and the opponents, make mistakes, just to relieve stress, no actual anger.

[hollow mirage]

I dont get stressed, and I am starting to get more toxic towards teammates, but I never say anything to them unless theyre being toxic back

I dont "WHAT A SAVE" spam, unless they do it to me

[stuck grove]

I'm always stressed, not because of the game though, just because it has been 3 months and no job has accepted my application or even called back. When I see "What a Save!" spam I go full toxic against that one person, watching for every time they miss a save or shot. Just dont be a dick, its that simple.

[hollow mirage]

I have chat turned off for the other team

[stuck grove]

I keep telling myself to do that, but I always forget when I actually load up the game. Same for my team because it's always just useless little bits like "Take the shot!" like duh, the ball is rolling in front of an open goal and the rest of you went to get boost, of course I'm taking the shot

[hollow mirage]

I still have to really learn how to dribble, and just general ball control

I can fly well, I have good controlls for air rolling and quick aerialing

i just struggle pretty hard with ball control

soft touches, juggling, bounce juggles, yada yada

[stuck grove]

I kinda suck at aerials, but keeping the ball away from the opponents and passing towards goal I can do fairly well, given the height stays low.

[hollow mirage]

I like my control scheme, which is a mix of self discovery and seeing what others do

I saw one guy put boost on X, and then a switch went off in my brain and I immetiely knew I HAD to do it.

already had like 400h in the game, but I wish I knew it SOOOOO much sooner

because, what I have are my bumpers bound to right and left roll, so speed aerials were basically impossible for me to pull off

but, since my thumb can now lay on both boost and jump at the same time

[stuck grove]

Ah, I keep my boost on right bumper, poweslide on left bumper, jump on the bottom button, I use a pro controller on my laptop so its B for me, air roll to the side buttons, and ball cam on the top.

[hollow mirage]

i tried to do jump or boost on a bumper, but not having the ability to do airroll with the bumpers threw me off too much

I didnt wanna have to use X and B to roll, like I've seen some people do

[stuck grove]

Nice Diestro.

I think?

[hollow mirage]

yep

Legit never used the car until fairly recently.

i mained dominus since my return, but i never felt that good at it

i swore against using Octane or Fennec because I hated using whats popular

I finally did cave though a couple months ago, and playing fennec, I definitely felt like I played a bit better

or just, octane hitbox in general. maybe I'll try to become a Dingo main

but, Dom is so good looking.
Diestro fits its hitbox quite well too

im struggling between what I want to play, and what I feel I play better with.

[stuck grove]

Yeah, this has been my main car for a very long time

I wish I didnt miss when the Black Insidio was in the shop, want to replace the normal grey with a more fitting color.

[hollow mirage]

what I mained, with a matching orange one too

Exalter is my favorite decal

[stuck grove]

Mm, here's my blue for Bunbun

[hollow mirage]

but, after dealing with the defeat of seeing I did well with Fennec, I made a couple neat car fashions.

[stuck grove]

Oh shit thats right, gold items are now kinda a thing

[hollow mirage]

if the day ever comes again, where theres a TW Dom in the shop, I think I'll go hard focused back to Dominus.
its been in the shop a few times before, so I know it can happen again.
just...have to wait

I have a gold one as well. and a black one.
i just want the white

[small glacier]

Missile Alliance

[hollow mirage]

but instead of giving us white, theyre bringin the gold back into the shop. Gold was here back in January, and its likely been YEARS since TW. GIVE US TW ONE PSYONIX

[stuck grove]

Heh, I remember splurging on that to mess with the car "designers" who copy-pasted designs like crazy. Did as they did and it had the opposite effect, they loved it.

[hollow mirage]

and I dont feel like spending $300+ to get it from a player

screw that

im fairly certain TW Dom is the 3rd most expensive item in the game, just behind White Hat and then Gold Rush

unless if Goldstone Wheels are more than I though

[stuck grove]

I forgot about this, which I only bought because I have a Pink Buffy Sugo that goes on every non-themed car

[hollow mirage]

I thought about grabbing that decal, but I didnt

I did grab the black dingo in shop rn though

im really kicking myself over not grabbing the black fennec during that event though

I was tempted to because it was exclusive, but convinced myself not to because "I'll never play with the fennec"

[stuck grove]

ugh that looks so nice in black but I'm that broke

[hollow mirage]

and with the Storm Watch Noire

now just imagine IF I HAD THE HECCIN BLACK FENNEC

maybe, just maybe, it'll be in the Car Show next week

Im not gonna get my hopes up though

[stuck grove]

Who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sure if the black insidio shows up a few dollars could mysteriously disappear from my bank account

Also forgot to say hi, Sparky.

[hollow mirage]

item shop has saved me a couple hundred dollars

because I have grabbed some items just because the shop had it

TW Mainframe and a TW Octane

[stuck grove]

I love watching people freak out because the shop had an expensive item and they all just lose it because "Oh the market! It's falling!"

[hollow mirage]

the cursed

[stuck grove]

Scarab is a blessing

[hollow mirage]

i found an image where someone drew the Scarab as this like...mech waifu catgirl thing

[modern schooner]

Oh god

[hollow mirage]

this is all you get

[modern schooner]

I do not want to see more, so good

[stuck grove]

I am intrigued, but not quite enough to find out

[hollow mirage]

its just them sitting on the RL ball with their legs crossed

ugh I dunno what to play

tell me a genre of something to play

work our way from there

[stuck grove]

Man I dunno, but English tanks are kinda cursed

[hollow mirage]

i dont have warthunder

so thats outta the equation

STUG my beloved

[stuck grove]

Like, why is this one backwards, I'm not gonna reverse to shoot an enemy, and why do so many have such poor accuracy? You all hungry off your shitty breakfast?

Now the Germans... have gotten too expensive for me to be able to progress right now.

[hollow mirage]

back when I did play a few years ago, I only managed to progress barely into the 2nd tier, with the STUH

[stuck grove]

But whoever made the Tiger irl, rethink your life because it has so many issues.

[hollow mirage]

then I stopped playing

[stuck grove]

I made it to 4.3 with a 5.3 (Tiger H1) that I dont use because uptier pain.

[hollow mirage]

im just waiting for Remnant 2 and Armored Core 6 rn.

[stuck grove]

I'm waiting for a job so I can affored Armored Core 6

[proud wren]

speaking of armored core did you see the gameplay footage that was relased yesterday

[hollow mirage]

I have not, no

[proud wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_9PYUXQ9Qw

[stuck grove]

Tetrarch my beloved, the only english tank I dont want to hit with the 15cm sIG

[proud wren]

the gameplay looks cool

thing i don't like though is that the mechs seem so small

[hollow mirage]

I think I saw this already actually, but it was in really poor quality

there seems to be more here though

[proud wren]

the second mech loadout they show in the video looks WAY more fun

lotta dashing and zipping around

[hollow mirage]

I wish it walked instead of only sliding

it seems it can walk, but no running

only sliding

[proud wren]

me too

it just seems kinda awkward and silly

[hollow mirage]

I imagine it'll play really nicely

[proud wren]

yea most def

[hollow mirage]

I need to head to the local game store near my work and see if they got any AC games, like AC2

I have AC Last Raven somewhere, and a PS2, but no power cord

I'd grab AC5 as well for 360 but I dont have one, and its not backwards compatible with Xbox One

I could look into trying to Emulate

that'll be my last resort if I cant buy from the game store

[stuck grove]

I might be a little convinced that my last teammates don’t know what an objective is because nobody tried to attack, they were all “sit back and snipe the enemy spawn” like yeah, I’ll attack the objective alone but they’re dug in tighter than something thats really tight.

[bronze jacinth]

m22 locust superiority

[stuck grove]

Here we go again, they march to the spawn

[bronze jacinth]

me when I get shot in my m22 then respawn in my B-25j

[stuck grove]

Thank god some of them learned that they can get more action at the objective. Barely won.

Also M22 is my favorite tank to obliterate.

[bronze jacinth]

I see

[stuck grove]

I just spent an entire match in a 0.90km fight against a Pz III E

[toxic drum]

Wanting recommendations for a RPG styled game that i can spend endless hours on

Don't be obvious

[crystal field]

elden ring

[stuck grove]

Define RPG styled for us if you would

[toxic drum]

How about ill be more specific: JRPG

[toxic drum]

Waaaaay too obvious also already have that

[proud wren]

[stuck grove]

Dragon Quest is pretty fun to me, depending on the game. I thing DQ Builders had a good reception but I haven’t played it

[wispy loom]

I hope u/spez dies painfully!

[toxic drum]

Nvm don't want another game should focus on the ones i got

[livid walrus]

HEY ACTIVE CONVO I NEE DHELP IMENSILY

[wispy loom]

sup

[livid walrus]

oh nvm sorry

uh somebody alredy helped me just now sorry

[unreal wren]

we post game clips here es?

[royal warren]

i'm super stoked for this armored core, i wasn't involved with the series really much in the past but the gameplay looks nuts

[crystal field]

the controls scared me off as a kid

[unreal wren]

i never heard of armored core before

[royal warren]

big fighting robot action game, check out that trailer

[crystal field]

it died off

back in the ps2 era

[royal warren]

thats not true :. )

[crystal field]

fromsoft was not doing great then they hired miyazaki and he made demon souls and they just kept making souls games mainly until now

[crystal field]

which part

[royal warren]

it was ps3 haha

gaming generation references make me feel old

[crystal field]

my bad

[royal warren]

becacuse to me, 3D is still 'new' in the grand scheme

but slowly thats not becoming the case, we're almost at an even amount of years for 3d and 2d now.

oh god I'm wrong now... 3d has existed now for longer than 2d existed before 3d... oh no...

[fervent tapir]

lets fuckin nng oooo1o1!!

i dunno if i'm more excited for a new ac or one that i don't have to use rpcs3 for

[royal warren]

im pumped because fromsoft hasnt really whiffed at all in years

[fervent tapir]

although it seems the day of 4thgen energy consumption is over 😔

rip gaining energy while flying

honestly that is so funny i hope they make it possible somehow

i don't care if i have to make the most wet tissue paper ac i want to be a bird
oh yeah and please fromsoft don't call them NEXT's this game make it a real noun

[wispy loom]

apart from the state of PC ports early on, yeah

[fervent tapir]

bloodborne pc port 🙏

[crystal field]

im not sure about elden ring but sekiro, ds1, ds2 are still broken on pc

[royal warren]

DS with dsfix was fine

but its true their original control setup was bad

[royal warren]

i played all of those games on PC and had a totally fine time and I'm pretty critical

how are they broken?

[wispy loom]

I meant "early on" as in when their game releases

[digital hamlet]

Elden ring pc port kinda sucks performance wise, and as expected controllers are still 100% necessary

[wispy loom]

almost every PC port around release is mid

[royal warren]

I suppose I would hope you'd use a controller for a non FPS or strategy game

[crystal field]

my friend played it on pc a few months ago and there was some dumb frame drops at random points

also i was talking about the original ds1 and ds2 not scholar of first sin

[digital hamlet]

Keyboards are better for everything that isn’t explicitly designed around controller such as dark souls

[royal warren]

hm I guess I could believe that, I tend not to set all my graphics on high if I dont think they really do anything hah

But more than that I guess I don't think thats broken

[wispy loom]

yeah the DS/ER control scheme hasn't changed since Demon's Souls

[crystal field]

the whole souls games keyboard meme started from the og ds1 pc port

[royal warren]

broken to me is like game does not look correct at all or functions incorrectly

They did take servers down though

[gritty summit]

i didn't play Sekiro right on launch, but a bit after with the FPS unlocker mod using mouse and keyboard. Whole playthrough felt insanely smooth

[wispy loom]

the fact fromsoft still ties FPS to physics 💀

it is signficantly easier to not delta time your game than it is to delta time your game if you have a graphics target

well significantly easier i dunno but it is easier

[crystal field]

is that why the enemies start to lag in their games when theres too many of them

i always wondered

the game doesnt lag itself just the enemies

[digital hamlet]

Idk why but my decently expensive desktop gets pretty bad frame rates and a lot of lag spikes
It might be a cpu bottleneck but idk

[wispy loom]

what's your CPU

[gritty summit]

which game tho

[digital hamlet]

I’m big dummy and I’m not the one who built it

[wispy loom]

press the start button and R together, then type "dxdiag"

[royal warren]

windows + R dxdiag

[bitter granite]

@analog crypt how many more days?

[royal warren]

jinx

[wispy loom]

rat

[digital hamlet]

Nothing in particular, but it’s more common to get bad frame rates than good ones

[bitter granite]

Seems like a fair and balanced card

[bitter granite]

I hate that it actually is

[royal warren]

too much text, gameciel

[bitter granite]

I’ll do you one better

Maxx C is a healthy and fair card that promotes skillful plays and decisions

CL2 Maxx C is amazing

[fervent tapir]

is that the samsung smart fridge

no wait

[royal warren]

crossout is sick

[bitter granite]

True

[royal warren]

i dont see much play of it at all

[bitter granite]

I’m actually cool with crossout tbh

Use to think it’s negate lasted the whole match

[royal warren]

i wonder if a permanent crossout would be fair

we had the same idea haha

[bitter granite]

I say it would be tbh

[royal warren]

its like kind of degenerate though i guess right

You all suddenly have to run all handtraps and crossout just to prevent your opponent from running those cards

[bitter granite]

Some negates are fine while others are insane, I hate Spright for the soul reason they have so many negates that can be recycled

[royal warren]

i was thinking the other day what if flip effects activated during battle phase before destruction

[bitter granite]

Don’t they?

[royal warren]

man do they what am i thinking of

oh I'm probably thinking of like they activate beforehand and you don't get destroyed yet or something

[bitter granite]

I have yet to use a flip deck but once ninjas structure deck come to master duel this month definitely gonna try them out

Seems like a fun rogue deck and I like my rogue decks

[royal warren]

I'm also definitely thinking of how I used to think sangan and witch worked

[bitter granite]

Ah

Working on my own card game right now and totally not stealing yugioh cards and changing their names

[royal warren]

all card games tend to share a handful of similar card-game-archetypal cards

[bitter granite]

I promise you Foolish Burying and Box of Greed are not yugioh cards

[royal warren]

I feel like a card game where you build the deck during the game would be interesting

like you mill/scry from a larger deck and choose some selection upon bonus effects or something and add to your deck

[bitter granite]

The one I’m making is a mix of dice throne and yugioh, two of my favorite card games

[royal warren]

dungeon dice monsters

the only card games I've played are a lot of yugioh, and two matches of magic lol

[digital hamlet]

assuming it's this?

[bitter granite]

Working on the Deathcaller class right now who’s playstyle focuses on applying a Deathmark status effect and summoning minions to use a sacrifice for effects

[royal warren]

you shouldnt be getting CPU blocked

[digital hamlet]

weird then

[bitter granite]

They also have a super low health pool so I gave them a passive that heals them everytime they sacrifice a shadow minion

[royal warren]

what is your gfx card

[bitter granite]

My friends keep making me play magic and the more I play it the more I hate it

[digital hamlet]

rtx 2070

[royal warren]

you'd see some stuttering in elden ring if you played on high probably

[bitter granite]

Only deck I had fun with in that game was a green/white deck, never touching any deck with red cards again

[digital hamlet]

yeah it's really dumb
it's only fun if neither person knows what they're doing

[royal warren]

I played grey/blue control

[digital hamlet]

please never again

[bitter granite]

It was me vs two long time players in a 3 way duel

[royal warren]

I only played twice but i do have a favorite card

[bitter granite]

Out of the 5 matches we played I won 4 of them, which made me laugh a bit

I used the yugioh mentality of dueling: fuck it we ball

Don’t know what this does or if it will hurt me but I will activate it

[digital hamlet]

both of my main decks are basically just 'let me cook for like five turns and you die'

[royal warren]

https://static.cardkingdom.com/images/magic-the-gathering/4th-edition/ornithopter-82011.jpg

this is my favorite card lol

[digital hamlet]

(if you do anything i will die instantly)

[bitter granite]

Perfection

[digital hamlet]

lmaao

[unreal wren]

pot o greed

[digital hamlet]

free 0/2

[royal warren]

its a freeee guyyyyy

how can a freeeeee guy possibly be bad

hahaha

[bitter granite]

This is my favorite card

[royal warren]

pff look at the cost

not a free guy , lame.

[digital hamlet]

oh man that's actually kinda good

i wanna add that now

[bitter granite]

I summoned 35 white cat tokens against my opponent who had 25 zombie tokens

It’s whole deck was focused on getting a bunch of lands and tokens out on the field

Only had one copy of this card, used it one turn to get out 14 and than drew it the next turn to get out another 21

Than god for that send back to deck effect

[digital hamlet]

my main main deck is lifelink and hallowed priest/ajani's pridemate focused

because haha funny 12/12

wait a minute 3 way exists?

Feel like this is another class where I made everything flow perfectly into each other

[digital hamlet]

least busted card

[bitter granite]

Shadow force might be the strongest search effect right now but it’s limited since it will take up your attack for the turn

Search for any card anyways and not specific cards

[digital hamlet]

oh hey ashen you wanna play a round of magic
i also have no idea what i'm doing so it'd be funny

[bitter granite]

Can’t just arriving at work

[tidal raven]

Maybe this'll remind me to turn on my stance

[bitter granite]

My job is literally to work on my card game

[digital hamlet]

lol

[bitter granite]

It was a passion project but now I get paid to work on it

[digital hamlet]

normal deck size

[wispy loom]

still not enough

[bitter granite]

Getting ready to print off he cards out and have people play test it

[digital hamlet]

you should make a tabletop simulator version

[bitter granite]

I would but don’t know how

[wispy loom]

you're working on a tabletop game?

[digital hamlet]

just import all the cards in ig

[bitter granite]

Yea, been working on it since September

[wispy loom]

that's so cool!

[bitter granite]

And it’s finally ready to go

[wispy loom]

are you under NDA?

[bitter granite]

Nope cause it’s my game and I’m the only one working on it

Had some people help me but they were killing the game for me so solo project all the way

But I do want to get someone to do some art and help me building the lore of the world in the game

It does have a lot of story and lore behind the game, classes, races, and some characters

[digital hamlet]

can you give us a short overview?

[bitter granite]

All 20 classes being a part of the world in one way or another

[bitter granite]

There are considered 3 periods in the world with the game focusing on the middle period which is known for being the kingdom’s peak of magic and technology hybrids

To mention this world is a magical steampunk world aka Arcanepunk

Honestly there is a lot to say about the world but the conflict during this era is mainly that of the resurrection of the Forbidden Lords, going under the new name of The New Taboos

And the assembled group of adventurers and everyday people turned heroes who are looking to stop them

Each class takes from a different type of person in the world like the Magi class is a member it of the Magus Guild, the central for knowledge of magic and development of magic

Or the Punk class, based off the fighters from underground street fights that the rich bet money on with the punks being people who had their body modified with steampunk enhancements

[stuck grove]

You have my interest, is this a card game like Magic or is it like something else?

[bitter granite]

A combination of dice throne and yugioh if you ever played those games

You have dice, cards, and class specific abilities and weapons

[stuck grove]

I am familiar with Yugioh to an extent, but Dice Throne is new to me.

[bitter granite]

Right the classes I have are:
Junker, Magi, Guardian, Punk, Musketeer, Hexer, Conductor, Gadgeteer, Doombringer, Nomad, Smoker, Drake, Dusken, and Slimeborne

[stuck grove]

I shall watch your career with great interest, hmhm

[bitter granite]

And for extra classes that are more for fun and not part of the main story in anyway are:
Trickster, Tamer, Skylarn, Agent, Deathcaller, and a final class I have yet to make

Finishing up Deathcaller right now

Trying to have a class to fit all playstyles no matter how boring or dumb they may be

Deathcaller is perfect for those who like to do a lot of self healing and drain the opponent’s resources

[stuck grove]

Oh so Deathcaller is what my dad did to me when he was "teaching" me magic, except with resource drain as well.

[bitter granite]

[stuck grove]

That reaction leaves me scared and confused

[bitter granite]

These are some of the class specific status effects I got

[stuck grove]

Ah, Deathmark seems annoying for the victim, super fun for the culprit.

[bitter granite]

Yep, but some classes like to be banished

And these are the generic status effects

[bitter granite]

I did that

[warm maple]

y tho

[bitter granite]

Cause I can

Elon on his way to ruin things

[gleaming roost]

If you hit any of those limits I’m sorry for you

[hollow mirage]

honestly

everyone should be limited to 3 a day

[small wren]

I was about to post about that, what a buffoon

Also I find it extremely funny and ironic that he's doing that to address "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation"

[bitter granite]

Just say you don’t know how to run your servers

It was fine before now your in charge and everything is going to shit

[small wren]

Joke's on you if you expect a narcissist to show any weaknesses himself
Besides looking like a clown, that's the usual thing

[bitter granite]

@gritty summit go ahead

[bitter granite]

You know you fucked up when the left and right start agreeing

[warm maple]

Rip bozo?

[small wren]

Well played

[tidal raven]

You love to see it

[gritty summit]

gimme one

[bitter granite]

Do it yourself

@small wren

[oblique radish]

twitter users be eating good tonight

[bitter granite]

Time to make my first big change to my game

Removing Races

Races over compliant the game and they need to go, along with them is the stats system going bye bye, they no longer have a place and all of the stuff special to races and stats are going to be changed to passives for classes or card effects

[gritty summit]

so i'm no longer a half elf?

[bitter granite]

You still are

I’m changing game mechanics not the world you stupid half elf

[gritty summit]

[tidal raven]

I am swiftly reminded this is Final Fantasy

[wispy loom]

oh yeah this quest

[atomic spear]

I stand corrected

He did really make twitter worse

I thought it was already at rock bottom when he bought it

He really didnit

[wispy loom]

so apparently this is because alot of twitter's infrastructure was hosted on google servers, and twitter isn't paying google's fee for such servers

they're trying to move off google infrastructure

but aren't making it in time

[atomic spear]

Imagine going to twitter and getting 599 ads

Oh wait

That's already twitter

[warm maple]

It's really fucking stupid but are you realling going to see 600 posts in a day?

[wispy loom]

I'm 90% sure replies count as posts, so probably yes

[warm maple]

Twitter fucking sucks anyway

[atomic spear]

How do i say this?

I'm not on twitter for... enrichment if you know what i mean.

[gritty summit]

make it 2 posts a day, save people from using twitter

[atomic spear]

....I'm there for memes

They already just outright stop loading if you scroll far enough

[wispy loom]

I'm also on there for news from games I play, like DRG

[warm maple]

I just browse for memes, animals, nsfw and other stuff

[gritty summit]

i get game news from discord and reddit

[atomic spear]

That was a more elegant way of saying it

[wispy loom]

well you see, reddit is dying as well

[gritty summit]

my point stands tho

[atomic spear]

all these sites have been facebookized

[gritty summit]

i'm not saying one is better than the other

[atomic spear]

There isn't anywhere left except discord

(For now)

[wispy loom]

if u/spez doesn't call off the API changes reddit might live

but it'll be gutted

all moderation bots die

[drifting kernel]

mod bots get free api access
that doesnt stop the creators from leaving tho

[warm maple]

u/spez isn't going to change anything, he's a money hungry cunt

[proud wren]

i miss apollo

[warm maple]

If he and Elon left there platforms they would be so much better

[wispy loom]

honestly r/196 has gone read only so no real reason for me to be on reddit anymore

[warm maple]

It's mind boggling seeing these dumbasses constantly fuck up their websites

[gritty summit]

i keep trying to open rif even when i know it's not working anymore

[atomic spear]

https://youtu.be/HGqLex8oC5c

I forget the actual term

But facebookization sounds funny now

[wispy loom]

everything except steam and maybe youtube does suck now

[hollow mirage]

how long until OperaGX no longer is the browser for gamers and starts trying to become more mainstream like Discord

[warm maple]

OperaGX might just become the new discord if it adds a chat feature

[atomic spear]

Uhhh youtube has been trash forba long time

[tidal raven]

"Hey, want [latest popular chatting app thats recently fallen off] without the unessicary featuers and bloat?"
New app gets popular
Adds more features, as devs do to keep things intresting
App is popular for a while now
"Hey, want [latest popular chatting app thats recently fallen off] without the unessicary featuers and bloat?"

[atomic spear]

You forgot(corporatization makes app undesirable and only serves profits/ shareholders so people leave)

[hollow mirage]

Teamspeak in Discords shadow

[wispy loom]

opera GX has alwasy been mid since it's chromium based

[hollow mirage]

I dunno if them making fun of discord actually got them many new users

[tidal raven]

As a GX user
Its not teh gaming browser

I ahve to open up chrome sometimes if I wanna do something other than youtube
Like Hero Forge, it uses models and GX doesnt like that

[atomic spear]

[tidal raven]

I KNEW that was a new thing

[proud wren]

i can still open apollo app, it's just a goodbye message and some of the dev's promotions

[wispy loom]

lmao how the FUCK do you mess that badly up

[proud wren]

but what if im playing warframe/terraria

[hollow mirage]

get good and start learning

[bitter granite]

They do

Peak yugioh

[proud wren]

no not THAT trash

It’s not like Reddit or anything

[royal warren]

did both players mean to do this

what was the occasion lol

[bitter granite]

It was just a feature match, that’s all the context I have

In the mood to make a mathmech deck

Or code talkers

I realized I still need a xyz deck so need to find one I like, numerons

I hate the xyz mechanic but need a xyz deck for when those festivals come, same for synchros which I plan on making swordsoul tenyi for that

My only synchro deck rn is stupid Shiranui zombie world

[hollow mirage]

it feels weird to be excited for Kullervo

I'm excited to get him, at some point

I really wanna see how his 1 does with the stropha

[bitter granite]

Oh yea Kullervo a thing

Honestly forgot about him already

[hollow mirage]

his kit is STRONG

hes a little squishy though, but godammn is his kit powerful

[bitter granite]

Endo time

And time to hope I picked the right stuff less I forget again

Fuck toxin

[atomic spear]

God i miss stretch so badly on kullervo
