[molten hound]

switch?

[raw silo]

I like to think that they only ever find specifically the left shoe

[empty girder]

My hero

[molten hound]

nope looks like they got a real pair

[woeful python]

Dude no eclipse 8

[tacit ledge]

w stage 1?

[golden linden]

how does eclipse 8 makes moving less effective

[eager kestrel]

hows it been going??

[woeful python]

Btw saying “just play right” works for everything ever in this game

[molten hound]

oh okay nevermind i see why your miserable

[woeful python]

By making all enemies faster?

[empty girder]

Terrible without you 😔

[golden linden]

so you just stand around more?

that's senseless

[woeful python]

I mean the game simply isnt as hard otherwise

[eager kestrel]

damn

[raw silo]

That's basically the same as drizzle on switch 1. (This is a joke, but I've seen the warcrimes that late game can do to that device and...maybe it's not too far off.)

[woeful python]

Omg yall are illeterate lowkey

[agile sluice]

tue design is goated i wanted to play him but the playstyle is tok slow for me

[molten hound]

yes?

[vapid dagger]

Eclipse makes moving far more effective

You’re just bad at it

Kiting is an important skill and you can definitely move in ways that make enemies move in ways that are inherently disadvantageous for them

And with enemies being faster it can be harder to pull off sure
But its technically more effective bc enemy ai is not designed for 40% faster movement than normal

[raw silo]

Why kite when i can bounce directly on them as acrid?
I'm playin' a mario game

[molten hound]

she can be slow at first, but if you got the special alt or a little movement like feather or smth its great

[vapid dagger]

Bc then you can bounce on all of them at once when theyre all packed together

[molten hound]

oh boy oh boy i found a gas printer

i sure do hope theres a scrapper

[vapid dagger]

Get your mario 1up bounce combo

[raw silo]

You are the only person to have ever taken my jokes seriously in a way that actually improves upon them in a genuine and realistic sense while keeping the heart of my stupidity.

You have gained my respect.

[molten hound]

if commando is mario then who are luigi blue toad and yellow toad

[vapid dagger]

Mult is toad
Artificer is luigi

[molten hound]

yellow toad id assume for mult

[vapid dagger]

Im thinking based on the playstyles of mario 3d world

[raw silo]

Yellow toad is a single
Because he's forgotten a lot of the time.

[molten hound]

im thinking new super mario bros wii

[vapid dagger]

With toad being speed menace but not very jumpy

[golden linden]

artificer would be peach then

[vapid dagger]

I guess

Luigi is viend bc why is he move like that?

[raw silo]

Or bowser, if you take...flamethrower....

[molten hound]

luigi would be captain because hes the fucking goat

[molten hound]

perchance

[raw silo]

I like the idea of engineer as E.gadd

[vapid dagger]

daisy

Dont ask me why it just is

[raw silo]

No, i

i see it

[molten hound]

hm... yea...no yea thats true..

[vapid dagger]

Also mul-t is wario actually

[raw silo]

I'm upset by it but I can't deny it.

[vapid dagger]

Bandit waluigi

[molten hound]

drifter is the luma you feed starbits to

wait no, shes pilot lubba from galaxy 2

[vapid dagger]

captain toad

[golden linden]

Lubba

say their name

[raw silo]

Drifter is a Coin Coffer.

[molten hound]

cant belive i forgot their name ive truly fallen from grace

[raw silo]

Or nabbit

[molten hound]

OOOOO

NABBIT LOWK TRUE

[raw silo]

(I think nabbit fits better but I spread the gospel of coin coffer needing more love)

[molten hound]

coin coffer is an underloved goat

[thin saddle]

Artigassy

[molten hound]

im gonna murder you

and hide your body under your house

[thin saddle]

😢

[molten hound]

so your family smell the rotting flesh of YOU

[thin saddle]

They don't want you to know this but the gas used for her flamethrower is-

[raw silo]

Artificer has the equivalent of wario down b from smash bros on a 9 second cooldown and you made me aware of this

[molten hound]

real talk what survivor is BALLING

[thin saddle]

Wario butt smash

[thin saddle]

Mercenary or loader

No substitute

[tepid berry]

if artifact of free item gives me a key on stage 1, does that lockbox spawn on stage 1 or 2

[molten hound]

.....edge guarding with wario butt attack....

[thin saddle]

You mean command?

[molten hound]

i think stage 2 because you get the message saying you picked it up

[molten hound]

rebirth

[thin saddle]

Yeah stage 2

[woeful python]

Stage 2

[thin saddle]

I forgor artifact of rebirth gives a random common item

[vapid dagger]

acrid LEAP

[thin saddle]

I always use it to get shatterspleen on railgunner fr

[woeful python]

loader is balling merc doesnt play anything

[thin saddle]

If I'm hooping and a rabid volatile beast dissolves the hoop and ball I'm calling pest control

[thin saddle]

Merc can flash on the rim bro come on

[vapid dagger]

they wont be able to contain it

his ball game is too sick

[thin saddle]

They can they got him

[molten hound]

there should be an equipment that turns you invisible for some amount of time

[thin saddle]

They got him

[molten hound]

like 10-15 or something like that

[thin saddle]

There is in starstorm 2

[molten hound]

id say captain is a coach

[thin saddle]

Cloaked something something

[raw silo]

Void Fiend is Fawful (post dark star)

[thin saddle]

Captain is a fat bald black basketball coach from Georgia?

[tepid berry]

spawns on stage 1, confirmed

[molten hound]

drifter is the ball.

[vapid dagger]

all the ror2 players on the court playing basketball and then loader goes for a slam dunk and then the hoop snaps off the board

[molten hound]

oh damn

[tepid berry]

after i scrapped the key

[thin saddle]

Sorry we spoke out of our ass

[tepid berry]

no you guys are good that's niche af

[thin saddle]

LITERALLY SHAQ

[raw silo]

I immediately thought of Doc Louis from punch out

[thin saddle]

Doc Louis was built like Mike Tyson in his prime

[molten hound]

he is everything BUT fat that man is built to all hell

[vapid dagger]

and then one of them asks "why does this keep happening?"

[molten hound]

viend will be on the team for pure scare factor

[thin saddle]

50 something years old man btw

[molten hound]

the other team will see him and just quit

[raw silo]

So was Captain. Then he got a shotgun taped on where his arm should be, so...who's REALLY winning the old man contest.

[languid crystal]

we love captain

except when he has no special or util in void

[molten hound]

he wouldnt have a shotgun hand if he didnt get up to physical activity

fuck would he need a weapon implanted into his body for if he sat on his ass all day

[thin saddle]

Lowkey my headcannon is captain's appearance resembles the democracy officer in helldivers 2

Probably just a bit more older and no right arm

[hollow peak]

Yes.

[languid crystal]

whos the funnest dlc survivor? answer should be clear

[thin saddle]

Since the venture on Petrichor happened way after his arm replacement I wonder where he got his arm torn off from

[molten hound]

he either has the most lush locks anyone has ever seen or hes bald.

[hollow peak]

Evil warlock won't you tell my future?

[molten hound]

drifter

[thin saddle]

He's definitely bald trust me I know people like jim he's DEFINITELY bald

[hollow peak]

Opertato or false potato

[thin saddle]

Operator

Commando probably looks like an average Joe

[molten hound]

hold up lemme ponder the orb

[thin saddle]

Well built but not like super macho man, like a typical enlisted man

[broken jacinth]

Why'd you ask that

[hollow peak]

My hc is that mando looks like horowitz from wolfenstein

[broken jacinth]

The last time I asked him that he said I won't be in it

[hollow peak]

Im special

[languid crystal]

correct

operator no doubt

[thin saddle]

Horowitz?

Do you mean B.J Blahblahkovic

[hollow peak]

BLAZCOWITZ

Myb

[thin saddle]

I don't really see it tbh, commando's kinda the skinny type, and he doesn't strike me as some guy who'd have the hairstyle and shape of B.J

I feel like he more fits Private Joker from full metal jacket

[molten hound]

your gonna find a bit of money in your pocket

[raw silo]

Not clear for me, because it's between Drifter and Railgunner for me.

[broken jacinth]

He truly is special 😞😞

[thin saddle]

B.J Blazcowitz I feel like make sense though for someone like nemesis merc

[coarse merlin]

So do rorr and ror2 happen kinda simultaneously
Rorr has the contact light crashing and all the playable characters are on it and escape pod out
Ror2 has a rescue ship (safe travels) go out to find the contact light and launch the playable characters down to survey the carnage

[clever seal]

angery

[molten hound]

holy shit guys i just got laser scope and i have 40% crit

what joy

[raw silo]

No, whenever this all happens, ROR2 is post-RORR.
Providence is no longer by the time ROR2 begins.

[tepid berry]

doesn't laser scope also give you a silent +5%

[thin saddle]

This is like the equivalent of figuring out Santa is fake for ror2 players, but laser scope is straight up just a worse behemoth

[clever seal]

same for all other crit items

[coarse merlin]

Is there any explanation for why the same playable characters are in both games

[thin saddle]

Also no, weirdly no

[clever seal]

should it?

[languid crystal]

no

[molten hound]

i dont care its more damage.

[languid crystal]

it should yes

[clever seal]

ok damn we got faked out ig

[thin saddle]

Behemoth is literally an objective upgrade 😭

[dim escarp]

Oh fair. I wish I could give suggestions but I’m also new lmao

[raw silo]

They have the same "jobs" but outside of Acrid, they aren't the same. Loader in RORR is a boy, in ROR2 Loader is a girl, for example.

[thin saddle]

Nope

[coarse merlin]

And if the survivors of the contact light already escaped, why would they bother heading back down if they know it's a lost cause

[tepid berry]

behemoth always better

[molten hound]

yea but did i get behemoth? no i just got more damage so yippee

[coarse merlin]

I see I see

[thin saddle]

The ror1 loader is a guy the ror2 loader is a gal you can put two and two together

[coarse merlin]

This still stands though, wouldnt UES know from the original survivors that it is no good down there

[tepid berry]

i had a run earlier today that popped a laser scope as my first item from a small

[agile sluice]

wonder why the game exploded in popularity yet again

[tepid berry]

i was on railgunner

i screamed with joy

[thin saddle]

Imagine a parallel universe, 1:1 from you but instead of getting laser scope you get behemoth. Makes you boil doesn't it

[dim escarp]

It was on a ridiculous sale on ps5 and I’ve wanted to play it forever so I impulse bought the game and all expansions

[thin saddle]

Heh.. no imagine you getting brilliant behemoth..

[coarse merlin]

So isn't the gist with scope is that it's just statistically worse than behemoth in every way

[thin saddle]

I got it to play with my fat friend @austere prism so probably discounts and stuff

[agile sluice]

I knew the game for along time never really wanted to play it and i started playing roguelikes

[molten hound]

no, i am happy for what i have, i will not rage for what i dont.

[dim escarp]

I started with hades

I’m not done with it yet but I mainly wanted to play ror2 cause multiplayer

[agile sluice]

Mine were binding of isaac and ETG

[molten hound]

HOLY SHIT

A SCRAPPER

[thin saddle]

Yes

Isn't guaranteed to work unlike behemoth

Damage output is 1:1 with behemoth as it inly buffs crits by 50%

Counting the explosion from behemoth it's straight up worse

Behemoth is also non-dlc if that matters

I'm gay

[raw silo]

Probably not. They could view it as an accidental crash since no one can "contact" them, so it may just be a simple rescue mission for what looks like a common crash site and accident.

[thin saddle]

THIS. CAN'T. BE.

[coarse merlin]

Vro threw in a fun fact

[thin saddle]

Cherry on top

[molten hound]

GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY INVENTORY 5 OLD WAR STEALTH KIT

[thin saddle]

Yo chill on war stealthkits

[coarse merlin]

They're so bad but I cannot deny they have probably saved my life like at least 3 times

[languid crystal]

i played sniper mod tdy on ror2 and i lwk like it more than railgunner

[molten hound]

LEAVE THE PREMISES 2 HEALTH LILYS OR WHATEVER THE FUCK YOUR NAME IS

[languid crystal]

sniper>>>> railgunner

[coarse merlin]

Now those are just actually bad

[dim escarp]

I gotta try binding of Isaac

[coarse merlin]

They should rework them so they shoot a healing beam to you like the drones

[unique bolt]

My first was Skul

[coarse merlin]

And have a pool of healing from which they'll pull to heal you

More daisies increases the pool and the healing rate

[thin saddle]

Stealth warkit is deadass a worse transmitter but both are quite useful if you're ass (ME)

[languid crystal]

mine was hades, followed by dead cells, gungeon, boi, and ror2. I have like 60 other smaller niche roguelite games i play tho

[agile sluice]

my favorite by far

[raw silo]

Imagine being ass. (Also me)

[tepid berry]

i choose to believe they only added stealthkit for the fallout reference

[languid crystal]

ror2 is still my favorite for sure but tboi comes close

[thin saddle]

First roguelike was tboi as most people's first is

[tepid berry]

that item is some booty

[coarse merlin]

I forgot about dead cells, I liked that
But it feels very rough around the edges compared to Hades and Slay the Spire

[molten hound]

wait stealthkit is a stealthboy ref?

[agile sluice]

dead cells is goated man i also played soul knight (niche ball knowledge)

[bronze notch]

dead cells mention

[molten hound]

deadcells is pretty nice

[thin saddle]

I think some major faults with tboi is that you don't really have a sense sith urgency, definitely allows some insane min maxxing but makes it a easy game once you know how it works. I still love it though

[raw silo]

It, moreso than others, is very speedrun centric, so that's probably why. If you aren't going fast, it can feel clunky or offputting.

[molten hound]

i think it would lowk be better if the whole item unlock thing was gone, i kinda hate it

[unborn forum]

is behemoth seekers of the storm

[bronze notch]

me when character with a cross in their face

[thin saddle]

It's called pre-war stealth kit..

[thin saddle]

Nop

[agile sluice]

I think thats with any game the more you play it the better you know it, thus it being easier

[unborn forum]

then why have i never gotten it....

[molten hound]

maybe you havent unlocked it

[vapid dagger]

its still a rare item

[unborn forum]

what badge

[molten hound]

wait does it have an unlock

[vapid dagger]

and it should be unlocked by default

[unborn forum]

guess im unlucky like that

[thin saddle]

Yeah of course duh I mean like, once you learn the basics it becomes a easy game. Unlike ror2 I'm still ass at it after mastering thr basics

What I lkke about tboi over ror2 is that there is way more progression

[thin saddle]

So I'm still engaged and fres after knowing how the game works

[vapid dagger]

ror2 has a temendous skill ceiling

[agile sluice]

I dont understand this game... Like im going trough stages like its cotton but bro itemization is weird

[thin saddle]

Wdym?

Tboi?

[agile sluice]

Im beating stages easily probably because im playing bandit

[thin saddle]

Ohh

[vapid dagger]

bandit has pretty great speed run potential

[raw silo]

I think it's one of the easiest roguelikes to get into too, so it's pretty impressive imo.

[agile sluice]

any other character is shithole for me

[thin saddle]

You on rainstorm right?

[tepid berry]

it very closely resembles a FO4 pip-boy and the lore points to it being pulled from a war zone

[molten hound]

i do not care for the unstable transmitter.

[agile sluice]

Im playing medium diff..

[tepid berry]

unstable transmitter the goat

[thin saddle]

Bandit's the first true first character, commando is genuinely a high skill floor character it pmo

[tepid berry]

only watch condom that works on transcendence

[thin saddle]

Yeah das rainstorm

[agile sluice]

commando is hard

[coarse merlin]

That's funny, I've found bandit the most difficult out of the first 5

[vapid dagger]

commando is one of the better characters but you do have to know what youre doing for him to feel that way

[thin saddle]

New word "watch condom" but I love it

[thin saddle]

Ikr

[agile sluice]

ahahhaha nah i just clicked with bandit playstyle with backshot its pretty easy

[thin saddle]

Fuck that shit I just download a mod that makes him A tier, ayooo!! Uptop downlos

Hifu mods rock

[coarse merlin]

He was too fragile and played too close to enemies

[languid crystal]

bandit is a very straight forward character

util behind enemies and attack

[coarse merlin]

I kept getting 1 shot by a flaming beetle guard or something

[agile sluice]

I just dont know what loadout i should run for bandit burst or blast

[thin saddle]

Just blow people's back out fr

[languid crystal]

burst

[vapid dagger]

bandit is not straightforward
but he has a very clear gameplan

[languid crystal]

i am a bandit main take my word

[raw silo]

Nuh uh, he's a very backforward character.
You don't get your crits straight on

[languid crystal]

yeah thats better

[thin saddle]

You sick fuck stop robbing those people

[vital depot]

Not sure what you mean by itemization but items as your power is pretty simple to wrap your head around

You grab items, they make you stronger in some way, and that “way” becomes stronger in itself the more of one item you get (stacking)

Item has an effect that doesn’t really you do any good? (+HP items like Bison Steak for example) Throw them in the scrapper to produce scrap

Item printers take in items and print out the item displayed, if you have scrap of the same color as the item in the printer, takes that first

[languid crystal]

ur right im larping

[agile sluice]

easiest way to do hemorrhage?

[coarse merlin]

I like blast because shotgun is kinda melee and I like melee bandit with the knife

[languid crystal]

shiv imo

[vapid dagger]

commando is very straightforward
but his gameplan ends up being complex bc its all about adapting to the situation

[austere prism]

DUDE!!!

[vital depot]

Nobody is asking you to understand the math and the numbers on your own, other people have done that already and are more than willing to explain it

[austere prism]

thats it

[agile sluice]

I cant seem to do the quest for it

[thin saddle]

NO WONDER YOU DYING A LOT 😭
One of the core principles of bandit is to backshot with burst as the crits are enormous

[languid crystal]

u can use the melee ig cuz it has some aoe and if ur swarmed its fine to use but shiv is better for me personally

[austere prism]

I'm installing 500 more mods you need to download for us to olay ovenchud

[agile sluice]

thats what i meant

[thin saddle]

Sorry

[vapid dagger]

use lights out to reset cooldowns
stack back up mags

[vital depot]

Just understand the basic function of an item and it’s really simple to figure out what you want

[thin saddle]

NO!!!

[austere prism]

what if instead of risk of rain

[languid crystal]

i cheesed it from a yt video, but yeah like artifact command with backup mags

[agile sluice]

What rarity is backup mags even i cant seem to find that item

[thin saddle]

Me petting my pet best buddy that's ass and does nothing useful

[languid crystal]

maybe do artifact of kin so only golems spawn or something

[vital depot]

White

[languid crystal]

white

[tepid berry]

i lowkey just turned off DLCs to target backup mag and did it normally

[austere prism]

there were 4 survivors and instead of petrichor V there was a giant tower that had a heart in it and there's also a couple ancient beings that give you stuff and a big whale and instead of shooting and looting chests we used cards

[vapid dagger]

theyre a common item
however they are one of the few actual unlockable common items

[tepid berry]

went to AWU and scratched his back a few times

[thin saddle]

What if instead of risk of rain 2 the captain actually went to petrichor to mate with the lumerians after almost killing his son and feeling remorse but he misses his son so he calls him back and he shows him the lumerian/human hybrid and he gets so mad but he adopts the lumerian/human hybrid and calls him Oliver Captainson or something

[austere prism]

if best buddy floated and slammed enemies would it be less ass

[sacred elk]

why do you have no legs

[coarse merlin]

Speaking of rougelikes:
Vampire Survivors 🔥

[vapid dagger]

cried them off

[thin saddle]

Maybe, he def needs to do like 600% damage not only 400

[austere prism]

or like could best buddy have scaled like the probes

[coarse merlin]

I believe you have to do a teleporter event hitless to unlock backup mags

[austere prism]

and do more dmg based on allies

[blissful torrent]

i genuinely think best buddy would be fine as is if they fixed his hitbox jank

[tepid berry]

4 shrines of chance on the first stage

[austere prism]

aka more friends for it idk

[thin saddle]

Probes stack? Wdym

[coarse merlin]

I did it with bandit and a million movespeed

[tepid berry]

i am so disgustingly broke

[austere prism]

not probes mb uhhh cores

[agile sluice]

what do ineed to do for it

[austere prism]

empathy cores and shi

or give buffs to all allies idk!

[blissful torrent]

fully charge a teleporter without getting hit iirc

[austere prism]

it's just super underwhelming

[agile sluice]

Fuck

[thin saddle]

Best buddy with multiple stacks of speed items, lost to one quiet probe

[austere prism]

loop a couple times and you'll be fine

[coarse merlin]

I did it with bandit + tons of movespeed

[thin saddle]

I got empathy cores WAY earlier btw

[coarse merlin]

Also to get a different achievement

[blissful torrent]

large part of that is because his hitbox is awful and he can't consistently hit things as a result

[golden linden]

do you have any artifacts?

[thin saddle]

Maybe, but I still feel his damage needs to buffed a bit and also make his cooldowns faster

[golden linden]

if not, just rushing the tele as engi on drizzle should do the trick

[blissful torrent]

other part of that is that empathy cores is broken beyond belief

[thin saddle]

Mods that turns gesture into redz and chaos into lunars? Where's my mod that turns empathy cores into reds and orphaned cores into yellows

[blissful torrent]

i genuinely think he's solid as is, he just needs to be able to hit things more reliably because rn he misses more than he hits

[agile sluice]

0

[thin saddle]

Heavy enemy prioritization is needed too imo

[blissful torrent]

this i can get behind

[thin saddle]

Wait will this actually be a good mod

[golden linden]

I would recommend working on getting those

besides that, all of the unlocks can be seen on the logbook, on the challenges tab

[thin saddle]

Idk if empathy cores are red worthy though

[languid crystal]

nice, i modded him as well but havent played much

[blissful torrent]

buffing his damage doesn't really fix the issues he has

[blissful torrent]

would argue they're stronger than a lot of reds

[thin saddle]

Ik he's super unreliable

[thin saddle]

Chat shohld this be a real mod 👀

[golden linden]

no

[thin saddle]

Hits you real hard with a metal pipe

[agile sluice]

i need to figure it out im new still

[thin saddle]

What's the lore of empathy cores I don't actually know

[golden linden]

I have the anti-metal pipe vaccine

[thin saddle]

I feel really bad whenever I see a orphaned core cauldron I always sacrifice greens for it

Reading its lore makes me upset

[blissful torrent]

they are cores with empathy

[thin saddle]

I can.. see that..

What are the probes I mean, and why do they drop from the solus boss

[thin saddle]

Oh ok they got 300 billion brainchips in one dose, you'll turn into those "all hail Plankton" drones in the Spongebob movie soon enough

[molten hound]

the tougher times max is 60% right?

[golden linden]

the power of being a goofy goober compels me

[thin saddle]

Fuckkkkk

[molten hound]

IM A GOOFY GOOBAA ROCK

[austere prism]

Aren't we all Goofy Goobers...

[hollow peak]

:0

Money for drugs woohoo!

Smokin that gup pack

[golden linden]

cool omega brazilian fact

over here goofy goober got translated to amendobobo, because the icecream store is peanut based and the silly aspect

amendo is for amendoin = 🥜 nut
bobo = silly = goofy

so basically translates back to
"I'M A NUTJOB"

which goes hard

[placid quail]

Is it true that Count Dooku is called Count Dookan in Brazil because “dooku” means a naughty thing in Portuguese?

[agile sluice]

is it ever a good plan to leave gold unspent

[golden linden]

yep

[golden linden]

not really, if you're full looting it'll be fine

[raw silo]

It's not particularly derrimental unless you're actively avoiding getting items. It just gets turned to exp instead, which CAN be beneficial early into a run.

[rocky maple]

What are the new survivors in the hallowed concepts dlc or do we still have no clue?

[tepid berry]

can we please remove KD from the list of possible enemy items

[golden linden]

still no clue

[tepid berry]

the way this thing works on monsters is clearly not intentional and it would be nice if the devs did something about it

[raw silo]

Scout from TF2 and a gup with a hat.

[placid quail]

Solus Distributors with kinetic dampeners can take on thanos with completed infinity gauntlet

[golden linden]

mending solus distributors killed my grandma

[tawdry hornet]

me staring at the solus distributor that took my item (alloy hunter drop)

[harsh trout]

solus distributors make me very very glad volatile elites aren't in ror2

[coarse merlin]

I want a survivor with a motorcycle

[golden linden]

play ss1 baroness

[sage python]

baroness my beloved

[tepid berry]

i once farmed an elite distributor's babies for like 30 mins with sonorous and it was funny

[raw silo]

Modded MUL-T

[tepid berry]

i had 200 items on stage 2

[coarse merlin]

Deja vu
Feel like I've been in this place before
Higher on the streets

[tawdry hornet]

base game MUL-T with 5 million

[obtuse tartan]

Wait its.. true

In the age of "every videogame must have a bike" ror2 still didnt get anything close to baroness

[tawdry hornet]

why is your name just a bunch of buzzwords

[placid quail]

No, that was the reindeer

[obtuse tartan]

Forgive me please

[tawdry hornet]

no

[raw silo]

Orphaned core and a pipe dream

[tepid berry]

siphoned forest is the best stage 1 and i'm prepared to defend this point

[obtuse tartan]

Noted.

[placid quail]

Too big

[unborn forum]

blind pests

[tepid berry]

kill them

dying to pests is unfortunately a skill issue

[unborn forum]

yeah...thats...what youre supposed to do in ror2....

[tawdry hornet]

you people keep throwing me with gasoline i'm perpetually burning alive i have no forgiveness

[placid quail]

Not only is it ludicrously huge, but you have to do extensive climbing and search a cave

The sheer amount of surface area to cover is horrific

[tepid berry]

cave, if it spawns, takes one run through, we're talking 30sec
other areas are open enough to scout while you loot and plan your movement

[placid quail]

Shorten the trees and close off the cave

Boom fixed easy

[tepid berry]

wide map is a small price to pay for 300 stage credits too

you can leave that stage with 20+ items

[unborn forum]

sorry for overlooking a 2k hp damage bullet when youre practically in a bullet hell 💔

[placid quail]

After five years of walking

[sage python]

i think loot density is more important than loot amount

you can always just move onto next stage

[tawdry hornet]

elaborate (i'm just stupid what does this mean)

[sage python]

id rather a quick stage 1

[tepid berry]

very dense stage 1's are great until you have no money

[placid quail]

The cave is extra insidious because you can’t see what’s inside of it until you spend hours traveling there to check. And if there’s nothing? Haha fuck you

[sage python]

i value loot being densely pact over the total amount of loot

[tepid berry]

it doesn't take hours, and you can just sneak through it while checking that side of the map anyways

it doesn't have any sneaky spawns so it's really easy to just one-and-done

[tawdry hornet]

1 i think you mean packed 2 i still don't get it i'm sorry 💔

[golden linden]

if you go inside it from the top, from the entrance you can scout anything on the outside are of the cave

[placid quail]

That’s the thing. You need to manually travel to the interior of the cave

You can’t glance from afar. You must check

[golden linden]

yeah it's the same amount of travel I would need if it wasn't there

I'm not walking more

[tepid berry]

this guy gets it

[placid quail]

And those tall-ass trees with platforms that wrap around them? So easy to miss shit

[tepid berry]

...no? plus they're super easy to glance at during teleporter

[placid quail]

It’s too much for stage 1

[golden linden]

yeah just go walk there

[tawdry hornet]

by that logic the worst stage 3 is sulfur pools since there's 2 caves and a corner area that's blocked off sightwise like come on

[placid quail]

This map could be a stage 5 and nobody would be suspicious

[golden linden]

goofery

[placid quail]

It’s small and most of it is visible at once

[crude jacinth]

I don’t like sulfur pools

[tepid berry]

most of sulfur pools is not visible at once

[sage python]

doesnt iron alluvium also have caves

[tawdry hornet]

no matter where you are like 75% of the map is blocked from your sight unless you're literally at the apex of the map

[sage python]

scorched acres has a lot of sightline blocks too

[tawdry hornet]

iron alluvium only has 1 iirc

[sage python]

nop

[placid quail]

Yes and it’s a shitty map

[tawdry hornet]

i know i know i used sulfur pools as an example because it's the worst offender imo

[sage python]

i think stage 3s are pretty equal in terms of looting

[tawdry hornet]

all stage 3s suck ❤️‍🩹

[sage python]

rpd is relatively easy

i think

[placid quail]

It’s not that hard to check sulfur pools. It’s pretty darn small. That should be the stage 1

[golden linden]

lmao

[placid quail]

The cave is also in the center of the map

Easy to get to from any point

[tepid berry]

rallypoint is the only good stage 3

which is why i usually just opt to go treeborn instead

[sage python]

i like every map

[unborn forum]

i like every map except sulfur pools... i hate it

[placid quail]

Siphoned Forest is simply too big and too annoying to navigate

It would be like if sky meadow was a stage 1 and even then that wouldn’t be as bad

[unborn forum]

i dont like nor hate on siphoned forest

[sage python]

not as keen on siphoned as other stage ones, but its aight imo

[sage python]

you are underestimating the size of meadows

[unborn forum]

meadows are like really big yo

[harsh trout]

I agree siphoned is very big but fym annoying to navigate

[unborn forum]

its like 1.5 siphoned forests

[harsh trout]

it's an open field with 3 trees and sometimes a cave

[unborn forum]

if not 2

[placid quail]

At least it’s easier to see things from far away. The sneakiest location is the artifact TP which kinda counts as just a silly bonus zone

[unborn forum]

i never noticed a cave in siphoned to be real

[golden linden]

for me any stage averages to the same amount spent

because what gates me inside a stage is always money gain rate first, and then movement speed second, and I'm always having less money than I can move between chests

[sage python]

ehh theres lots of overhangs

[golden linden]

specially on episslipse 8

[placid quail]

Such a horrible game mode

[golden linden]

yes! And I love it!

[placid quail]

Can’t even use artifacts except the mandatory inclusion of the shittiest one

[golden linden]

my selectable eclipse artifacts mod shaped neck

[placid quail]

I don’t think it’s fair to point to mods to excuse poor basegame design

Todd Howard would love you

[sage python]

id give that title to death

[golden linden]

it's not, I am jesting

[placid quail]

I see

Simulacrum is the only alt mode that really feels like an alt mode

It’s a major transformation of how you play

Truly the best part of SOTV

[tepid berry]

this is a huge overexaggeration

meadows is so huge that a radar scanner can't even hit the whole map at once

[opaque tapir]

That's disturbing

[kindred idol]

who is your favourite ben 10 alien?

[golden linden]

upgrade

[placid quail]

Danny Phantom

[gentle copper]

isn't that concerning?

[molten hound]

i have twelve. fucking. sale stars.

i got TWO REDS. from the red chest

[opaque tapir]

Would you guys say artifact of enigma makes the game more difficult

[molten hound]

TWO.

[opaque tapir]

Oof

[molten hound]

what does it do again?

[opaque tapir]

Randomized equipment

[sage python]

idk really

[molten hound]

id say its half n half

its annoying but then again you can just reroll for a tricorn

[opaque tapir]

That's the only reason why somone would use it (Unless they are doing a challenge)

[sage python]

nore credits spent on stuff that isnt equips

but you cant just coast off a good equip

[molten hound]

equip barrels still spawn.

[odd cove]

Survivor aura tierlist

[opaque tapir]

Equip barrels can still spawn

[sage python]

id say its moreo just different

[mental slate]

engineer + bungus and 14 minions

[sage python]

not really either way

[mental slate]

Easy victory

[molten hound]

captain in s and railgunner in a is preposterous

[opaque tapir]

Railgunner not ss... Intersting

[languid crystal]

heretic is ss aura wise

[odd cove]

Captain has crazy aura what

Diablo strike??? His stance and fit?

[mental slate]

Why is engineer in C tier

Someone standing still while his machine children absolutely shred you has so much aura

[molten hound]

i meant they should both be in SS

[odd cove]

Chud

[opaque tapir]

He is 70 and still invaidng an alien planet and killing stiff

[mental slate]

Tfym chud what I do

[molten hound]

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ENGI HIMSELF

[odd cove]

Not you, engineer

[mental slate]

Oh

[odd cove]

Engineer is a chud

[mental slate]

False

[odd cove]

SS is like peak aura

[molten hound]

point still stands

[odd cove]

captains still high tier

[opaque tapir]

I know, thats railgunner

ss

[odd cove]

Railgunner is almost chudworthy

[molten hound]

SHES ALWAYS POSING

AND HER FIT IS SLICK AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

[opaque tapir]

Have you seen deadeye

Here is mine

[mental slate]

I have back-up with three charges

Instant army

[terse sedge]

Get preg man SUPER reacted for putting a rock with a rock club in the top

[opaque tapir]

[mental slate]

Is that a dlc item?

[molten hound]

chat what artifact should i get

[golden linden]

the one you don't have

[opaque tapir]

Every single one lf them

[molten hound]

mods, inform him that droneparts is sotv

[molten hound]

which one should i get first i have command sac chaos prestige and rebirth

[mental slate]

Literally needed someone to buy the bee game for me (while it was on sale for $3)

[molten hound]

get out this is money haver world

[molten hound]

damn

[opaque tapir]

put engineer turret in aura farms 24/7

[gentle copper]

im thinking of moving REX to aura failure because bro is kinda just pathetic (in an endearing way)

[molten hound]

i can imagine artificer doing the conquest "stand ready for my arrival" pose

[opaque tapir]

REX is a cabbage on a hydroponics unit

[molten hound]

we love our stupid little plant boy

[mental slate]

STAND READY FOR MY FIREBALL, WORMS!!

[gentle copper]

i can imagine engineer trying to hit the tony stark pose in front of all his mines as they go off but no enemies get anywhere close to them so he just stands there like an idiot for 15 seconds coping off that sunk cost fallacy

[opaque tapir]

Key word:Stupid

[gentle copper]

we do ❤️

[golden linden]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkk

[molten hound]

acrid would accidental aura farm actually, he would be on a roof and drip down acid, the victim looking up to see the source of the drip, then they promptly get mauled

[opaque tapir]

He is useless on E8, that's what I have against him sorry

[gentle copper]

as much as i love commando he absolutely suffers from aura deficiency and his journey on petrichor V gives him the trauma necessary to aurafarm

[molten hound]

"man, this run couldnt get better!"
the 10 collecters compulsion:

[opaque tapir]

He needs artillery attacks, like a mortar or smthing, it would be better

[gentle copper]

"and so he left, with everything but his humanity" i just KNOW his ass was hitting some Ryan Gosling expressions on the shuttle back to the safe travels

[molten hound]

"your lonely....... i can fix that....." said the bleed printer

[molten hound]

man i wish we got a survivor that just has a GIANT axe

just gotta take a hit of !paul sometimes

[spiral oar]

Paul sucks

[vapid dagger]

commando has the special anti aura which can be 10x scarier than normal aura
bc he looks weak and pathetic
and then he pulls off the most insane shit youve ever seen

crouching tiger aura

[obtuse tartan]

commando has SUPER aura pal

[vapid dagger]

false son has a more general aura

bandit is basically aura incarnate

[obtuse tartan]

bandit does NOT have nearly as much aura as mando

[golden linden]

I may be aura blind cuz I see no aura from false son

[vapid dagger]

i can definitely see it just bc of how imposing his presence is

but his doesnt spike as much as others

[lofty basalt]

unspoken aura

[odd cove]

Mithrix or providence in terms of aura though

[placid quail]

Bandit has a cowboy hat

You can’t beat that aura

[lofty basalt]

providence clears so hard

[odd cove]

Dude idk

The king of nothing goes stupid

[lofty basalt]

radiating off of him bro

[placid quail]

The “nothing” includes colors as well

[lofty basalt]

piccolo taught him that move 100%

[vapid dagger]

"im just here to pick up some things for a job. can you move?"
"vermin i shall crush you"
"damnit i was really hoping you wouldnt make this harder than it needed to be"

[golden linden]

provi was a substitute teacher on auradynamics actually

[lofty basalt]

oly aura

[odd cove]

Also just the line “and his music was electric” alone

[golden linden]

pull up technique

[lofty basalt]

providence was turning up so hard in ror returns i just cant give this one to mithrix bro 😭

[obtuse tartan]

provi has no aura cause he does allat and then gets mogged by a random

[placid quail]

When Providence is in a substitute teaching competition and his opponent is Peggy Hill

[odd cove]

Prov went out sorry I’m ngl

[lofty basalt]

farmed all that aura just to get negged by a space guy less than twice his size

[molten hound]

MITHRIX SENT A BOMB INTO THE NOTHINGNESS OF THE UNIVERRRSSEEEEE

[golden linden]

piccolo also gets beaten up all the time, doesn't mean his aura was gone

[odd cove]

Mithrix took his loss like a champ, also “FALSE STRENGTH.”

[placid quail]

Providence died of cringe when he saw how much money I’ve spent on steam

[lofty basalt]

100% aura 0% winrate

[sacred elk]

top ten false moments

[molten hound]

MITHRIX MADE AN ARMY ON THE MOON

[sour nest]

What are people's opinion on captain right now viability wise?

[golden linden]

this parses 0 aura

[molten hound]

WITH A BUNCH OF ROCKS!!!!!!

[placid quail]

Should we retire the Mithrix false sticker and replace it with a false son false sticker

[odd cove]

Sitting on the moon making lunar chimeras and a giant arena to aura farm??? Like hes crazy

[golden linden]

captain been good since introduction

[molten hound]

he lowk looks like a trusted adult

[sacred elk]

captain is great with teammates because he buffs them

[placid quail]

Monsoon skin has infinite aura so it evens out

[sour nest]

Was just making sure captain weren't gutted or outclassed atp in time.

[lofty basalt]

better procs than mando

[sacred elk]

he however cannot go to any hidden realms or fight any final boss that isnt mithrix so hes a bit handicapped

[obtuse tartan]

i disagree

[odd cove]

Until you hear the thunder crackling any time he fucking does anything

[golden linden]

i mean he is outclassed but nobody competing

[sour nest]

Who's he outclassed by?

[golden linden]

boooooooo get out

[golden linden]

depends on where you draw the line

[placid quail]

Captain has an incredible m1. It is so incredible, in fact, that it eclipses his other skills and your endgame is just m1

[austere prism]

Eclipse huh...

[sour nest]

I'd say for one class to "outclass" another, it has to be conceptually similar in some way. It can't just be a better class with no functional correlation.

[golden linden]

then you would be the better judge of it

[placid quail]

It’s funny how captain is decent for beginners but requires you to beat the game

[golden linden]

that could mean anything

[obtuse tartan]

much like everyone else

[sour nest]

Literally just have similar themes or principles in the kit.

[sacred elk]

man this character is good but i have to beat the game with them?

[woeful python]

Thats y free shit pylons r so good

[queen heron]

grandpa

[molten hound]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

[languid crystal]

except captain has a top 1 m1 in the game

its so good i forgive him for not having beacons in void

[obtuse tartan]

top m1 in the game

looks inside

chef

[vapid dagger]

[languid crystal]

its captain

trust me

[uneven bloom]

boosted dice

[languid crystal]

oh yeah huh im sold

not boosted tho captain is better

[placid quail]

Boosted dice with runic lens 🤤

[uneven bloom]

id say theyre about equal

1.5 proc coef on returning is nutty

[placid quail]

True

2.25 on the boosted version

[vapid dagger]

isnt the return only 1.5 if its held?

[placid quail]

True

[vapid dagger]

this does ultimately limit how quickly it can be used

[placid quail]

I don’t usually bother holding them since I end up losing DPS if the enemy isn’t a statue

[vapid dagger]

and it being a projectile still means at long ranges itll be limited further

[vapid dagger]

it also does less damage when not held

[placid quail]

True

[vapid dagger]

and theres the funny rapid hit cleaver hold too

that only has a like 0.3 proc coef per hit tho

[placid quail]

I think one of the boosted cleavers shoots straight at the cursor also

[vapid dagger]

it does

i think

[placid quail]

I keep forgetting this

I like ice box because the cleavers can be hard to aim for me and the frost has a great slowdown effect

[vapid dagger]

in any case
attack speed scaling is limited for this skill and range might not have falloff but it will make it take longer to kill things since theres a travel time

[uneven bloom]

oh yeah ac have you tried using sear oil spill glaze chef

[vapid dagger]

yes

[uneven bloom]

it's so fucking fun i love it

[vapid dagger]

oh wait oil spill instead of roll?

[uneven bloom]

oil spill yeah

[vapid dagger]

no i have yet to actually use oil spill

[placid quail]

That requires no yes chef

Therefore CRAPPY

Unless you sacrifice glorious mobility for oil spill

[uneven bloom]

you can use sear while using oil spill and it still ignites the blobs you drop, and the oil immediately catches on fire once it drops near oil thats also on fire

and the same is true for glaze

[vapid dagger]

i also just find the fire pools to be exceedingly underwhelming compared to just hitting them with cleavers again

[uneven bloom]

oh yeah they're sorta underwhelming but god it's so fucking fun

it makes him a lot more of a combo character

you can also do the same with ice box instead of sear but it's harder because ice box doesn't pierce

i rlly like the verticality oil spill and ascent protocol have it feels way better than ion surge probsbly because it's not just completely braindead

seeing people say "most of the fun from roguelikes is from breaking them" pisses me off No its not. the fun is from overcoming a difficult challenge by working with what you get man

[vapid dagger]

i agree with that halfway
the fun i get is breaking them despite the challenges

i dont want it to be easy to break

[uneven bloom]

right

[vapid dagger]

i want to put some goddamn effort into it

[languid crystal]

objectively yes chef with ice box is better and fun but sear and default special are just as fun too

[uneven bloom]

i'm referring to a combo in mewgenics that dealt infinite damage and could be easily passed down so yeah not hard at all LOL

[languid crystal]

havent tried yes chef with sear yet tho, i just think default secondary and def special shud be together i like

[uneven bloom]

like legit that shit was infinite damage with only 2 abilities

[golden linden]

that would require for people to have different opinions

and we can't be having that

[molten hound]

do i go vling or do i end this run

[golden linden]

how fast you killed michael

[molten hound]

i skipped 2 phases

[golden linden]

was he allowed to jump

[molten hound]

on the first 2 yea

but with like 3 health left

and i was trapped in egg mode

[golden linden]

hmmmmmmmm

[molten hound]

bhaos

[golden linden]

would you be sad if you died

[molten hound]

no

[golden linden]

we ball

[molten hound]

this run has fufilled its purpose

WWWEEEE BAAALLLLLLL

wait do i get my lunas back

[golden linden]

if you kill the crab yes

[molten hound]

okay time to stroke this amphibian

of the glass variety

i did a good quarter of his health with 1 shuriken

none of my bullets actually hit yet

i murdered that shizle and got the log

[golden linden]

w

[molten hound]

what joy.

i clicked the portal and my game froze for a good 12 seconds

but we good

did allat for a alt special im NEVER going to use

(i was doing commando no lunars)#

[coarse merlin]

Incorruptible (20 stages, no lunars, with commando) was one of my first true achievements

I was very proud
To this day it is my longest run

I died 3 stages later to a malachite vagrant 💚

[warm basalt]

i got to stage 60 twin

[coarse merlin]

Well I'm very happy for you but I did not need to do that to unlock grenades so I didn't

[golden linden]

who needs ascencion protocol

[frozen vector]

i got really bored one day and i think i tried to just go as far as possible my record is somewhere between 100-200

[coarse merlin]

I actually like the grenades a lot

[warm basalt]

not omega

[coarse merlin]

They feel powerful and high skill

[warm basalt]

time ❓

[coarse merlin]

Makes me feel like a real commando

[frozen vector]

im trying so hard to find it i dont think i have it in my steam screenshots

but it was like all day. i had to put it down because my pc couldnt keep up i think

this was so long ago like pre sots i think

it got really. boring after a while

no this was pre void holy shit lol

[golden linden]

lol the chrysalis drone occupying half of my screen

[frozen vector]

oh i managed it again a couple years after

kids dont go past stage 20 its honestly really boring

[rotund hollow]

Some people won't even go past mithrix

And that scares me

Personally. I just keep going until the game crashes or I want to play something else and the dumb engineering of the PS5, that doesn't allow it to open more than one game application at a time for WHATEVER reason, doesn't let me just sit paused while i go play whatever

Or ofcourse. I die

[vital depot]

Well the “past Mithrix” is Voidling and like
yeah who the fuck would wanna do that

[rotund hollow]

Past mithrix is necessary to beat all bosses

Which is something i aspire to do on all of my runs

[golden linden]

didn't you just said you go until the game crashes

that usually means you only loop

[rotund hollow]

well I'm not that good at the game and whenever i dont want to do that

[vital depot]

which also isn’t at all the norm
A lot of people dont like to go to Voidling because the fight just sucks, which is very valid and not at all “scary” if you’re referencing attention spans or some shit

[rotund hollow]

and also, if i do eventually get tired I will end my run with mithrix and then voidling

[vital depot]

Voidling is probably the weakest “big” part of SoTV

[upper wing]

voidling is so nothing

im glad its the final boss they messed up and not like, unavoidable content

[rotund hollow]

Personally I kinda like voidling. Voidling is the only boss to me besides maybe mithrix that is consistently a challenge, and not because he just cheapskates and takes your stuff

Voidlings attacks just seem to do a lot of damage to me. and that black hole always spikes my blood pressure

[golden linden]

they don't seem, they do

[tight kayak]

Sure it's a harder boss, I don't think it's very engaging though

[rotund hollow]

yea i feel like that laser puddle thing has killed me once on a long run but idk

[unborn forum]

lowk when me and my friend got to collective we just mauled them we didnt even know what the battle about 🤑

[rotund hollow]

Its been a few months since I last played Rice of Grain 2

[unborn forum]

should get to them without being a killing machine next time....

[uneven bloom]

why does rex not have an acheivement for bringing the battery to his corpse in abyssal depths

[rotund hollow]

but he does

power plant

[golden linden]

read again

[vital depot]

He does not, that is not a REX specific achievement

[rotund hollow]

Wait do you mean as Rex 😭

[uneven bloom]

yes

[terse ferry]

evil alternate universe where voidling is the only good part of sotv

[rotund hollow]

why would you do that. You already unlocked the character

[uneven bloom]

because it's fun. couldve been an ability unlock

[rotund hollow]

^masochist^

[golden linden]

drifter has one of getting to her bag on ac

[vital depot]

Because the REX corpse still exists after unlocking it and playing as it??

[golden linden]

the game is all over with silly endeavors for unlocks

it's not a stretch

[rotund hollow]

bro

[uneven bloom]

REX also spawns with a battery in his pod too

[rotund hollow]

ok, whatever, sure make it an achievement. But since i personally dont want to use the most gimmicky self-damage character with an equipment that KILLS ME WHEN I FALL BELOW HALF HEALTH and take it to a specific stage 4 for something I want please make it just like an item or something not an achievement

[frozen vector]

my optimal run is doing as many of the lategame bosses as possible except for sheart i dont like sheart

[golden linden]

"money is used to buy goods and services"

[harsh crater]

Its not that bad 😢 i mean some of his alt removes that issue

[rotund hollow]

???

[frozen vector]

well ill do sheart because its a free red but i dont like sheart

[rotund hollow]

Oh solus heart

[frozen vector]

LOL YEAH

[rotund hollow]

Bro I do every boss

im not a quitter

[frozen vector]

i call it sheart because solus heart is terirble terrible rotten yucky no good. but still better than most

once i managed all of the bosses in one loop

[golden linden]

shart

[sacred elk]

money is used to procure goods of which you may find advantages

[frozen vector]

sheart is like better than most of the bosses in the game but i just have a problem with its visuals and boss theme

[rotund hollow]

I was thinking "wtf who is sheart. You mean shart or something thats not a boss"

[spare saddle]

me when i eat something my body disagrees with

[harsh crater]

My dumbass thought yall talking about sum shear heart attack

[rotund hollow]

it took me to the free red and then I looked back and i was like "oh my gosh thats s heart not shart😭"

[golden linden]

it's only a shart if ends up in your linen

[frozen vector]

i wish the fight itself had more variety a better boss theme and a less ugly color pallete

[sacred elk]

i got skittles

[frozen vector]

i kinda think the pink and yellow is butt ugly

[harsh crater]

No bro

[rotund hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/spamton-plush-deltarune-cupcake-icing-gif-14156524766547546936

[frozen vector]

FUCK ITS FRIEND

[rotund hollow]

whatever you get the sentiment

[sacred elk]

shart gaming

[frozen vector]

anyway swing > mithrix = sheart > false son >> voidling imo

[sacred elk]

dogma and the beast vs swing and shart

[frozen vector]

false sons fight has always kinda bugged me but its grown on me. a little. they did a good job reworking it but its really the laser that i dont like theres not enough cover in the arena for the laser to have 100% accurate tracking

[golden linden]

michael + samuel = shart/crab

[frozen vector]

• a slower laser thats more like a stage hazard would be more aura. imo

[sacred elk]

why do you have the same abbreviated name as me

[vital depot]

i love this stage’s visuals but i dont gain a operator skin from doing it so i dont bother going to it

[frozen vector]

hydrogen baby vs coughing bomb

[frozen vector]

something about it bugs me. i think its the ground

[frozen vector]

like the general color choices arent bad i just wish it was more ....... consistent in tone i think

i think the deep blue arena after you kill it is really pretty i wish it was more blue/ purple instead of magenta/ orange

hell. you could replace the ground with a bluer blue and i think id like it a whole lot more

its not an eyesore im just nitpicky

it just doesnt scream solus to me enough

[rotund hollow]

[frozen vector]

theres like this defined constant color set used for all the solus stuff. pale greens bright blues some purples here and there. the occasional yellow . why are we moving to pink orange and teal for this boss specifically

[golden linden]

@sacred elk is this you

[sacred elk]

perchance

[vital depot]

Idk, i think it’s kinda just great as it is, the digital landscape and world thing kinda gives itself into being something entirely different and not necessarily representative and the colors still set a sort of dramatic tone for a final boss of a faction

[frozen vector]

it wouldve been cool to see the sheart arena be a little more visually consistent with spex and the computational exchange

or at leaast in terms of colors . you raise a fair point

[rotund hollow]

do the internals of a computer look like the plastic shell

[frozen vector]

well no . but computational exchange is also the inside of a computer isnt it

[rotund hollow]

Sure

[frozen vector]

youre fighting a computer in a computer in a computer on a computer

[rotund hollow]

Is the inside of a computer the same as the programs you run on it

Since heart is like an operation system(?)

[vital depot]

I think with the Computational Exchange it has to be different to kinda “differentiate” SPEX’s “friendly zone” and the hostile environment you enter afterwards

[frozen vector]

well . still no but i dont think computational exchange is much different from the sheart arena

[frozen vector]

im seeing the vision a little more now

i think its ok to be different i just wish it was different differently

[rotund hollow]

the normal solus stuff is the outside of the computer

the computer exchange is the inside

heart is the os

So, Ofcourse they will look a bit different

[frozen vector]

yeah

[placid quail]

It is if you kill him

Implying that solus heart is some kind of corruption

[frozen vector]

right. yeah

[sour nest]

I wish the game made it more clear that drifter is unlocked, not just be naturally progressing in the DLC.

[frozen vector]

i didnt consider that for a bit i still kinda wish it was less like it is

[placid quail]

Hover cursor over her portrait

[frozen vector]

itd be cool for the swing area to give you an incentive to explore before leaving first because i think its reasonable someone might miss it on a first run

i did that lol

er it has the incentive but rather. you beat it and youre confronted with a portal it took me a minute to realize the doors on the side opened

[sour nest]

That's still quite vague.

[vital depot]

It does specify “the Vault in the Solutional Haunt”

Implying that just going there isn’t enough

[warm basalt]

imagine being ps5

and not having a mouse

[tawny barn]

good afternoon dearest friends

[ashen edge]

Good afternoon Pilot

[terse ferry]

hi operator!

[tawny barn]

i have to take a final in an hour

trade school is beating my ass

[placid scarab]

what trade are you going for

[terse ferry]

wtf is trade school

also good luck operator!

[golden linden]

usually for blue collar work as I understand it

[terse ferry]

what is blue collar work

[golden linden]

like being a plumber, electrician, AC technician

work done by hand

[terse ferry]

ohhh

[queen heron]

AC
say that again...

[golden linden]

Ay See

[jagged sable]

I have previously asked about this but is there an ongoing multiplayer issue? We keep getting kicked to black screen outside of the host on the fifth planet in between 35-45 minute mark

is there a way to prevent this?

[golden linden]

you mean 5th stage?

yeah this is the first time I hear it

is the host always the same?

[placid quail]

Nobody is using mods, right?

Wacky stuff can potentially happen if somebody has mods and other people either don’t or have a different mod list

[gleaming flint]

subnautica 2 release date tomorrow

the next ror2 dlc will be a crossover

[placid quail]

Does it have subs and nautical elements

False…

[gleaming flint]

but squared

[placid quail]

True

[molten hound]

next dlc has true daughter

[placid quail]

And the Composite Meridian

Get it? Prime? Composite?

Haha I am so clever

[molten hound]

false son took trans medicine and became true to herself.

[placid quail]

So happy for her

[terse ferry]

true daughter used to be my pfp

still would be if i had nitro

[molten hound]

is it a gif or something

if it is send it here or DIE

[terse ferry]

true daughter

[jade cape]

Nice little run

This was litterally insane

The wil o wisp covered the whole map

And my game froze so I spammed the focus crystal to pick it up and it gave me 90 focus crystals

83*

[molten hound]

intresting pronouns there buddy ol pal

[jade cape]

Iconic if you ask me

[quasi lance]

I just had a majestic ass fall

If only i had my hud off 😭

[molten hound]

EVERYTHING IN THE VOID IS MAJESTIC

[placid quail]

I wonder if bandit would use draft kings

[placid quail]

Best faction in terms of lore and aura

[golden linden]

he would share his affliate code but not bet himself

[molten hound]

inform me what this means

[quasi lance]

Is bro a void devastator? is bro voidling?

[placid quail]

Use code Desperado26 for 100 free dollars for your first bet*

*must first spend 1200 dollars

[placid quail]

Sports gambling app

[molten hound]

i dont think he would, he only plays cards.

[terse ferry]

voidling does seem like it would be an evil warlock who foretells the future...
it's even called the diviner of the deep

[placid quail]

The “ling” implies he has a boss

[molten hound]

i do be devining her deeps if you catch my drift.....

[placid quail]

Imagine how good at prophecies the boss must be

[molten hound]

deepest we go is cell 5

[rancid temple]

mmm yes 3 stage one scrappers

[placid quail]

Imagine if there are infinite cells

[molten hound]

bro...... you missed the blood shrine..... L gamer

[placid quail]

Like you can keep going down forever and there’s always a bigger fish

[molten hound]

there is but in the other direction, 0 is the highest, but it just keeps going deeper.... and deeper.....and deeper-

[golden linden]

insane early get

[gleaming flint]

what would be at the octexapetrillionth cell of the void?

[gleaming flint]

i love how ANYTHING can be a number, so it can also be a void cell

"Hey bro what cell are you on"
"I'm at the Repmeyahglemithyellionth cell rn"
"Damn its gonna be a long trip"

[molten hound]

my crib

[gleaming flint]

technically, since the contents of the void are theoretically infinite, a recreation of solus heart could be at the void

because if there are infinite cells, they're filled with a infinite reach of contents

[molten hound]

well the voids intention is to bring back light to its dead world, no? so those infinite cells would be empty, most of em atleast

i forgot to put shit in ahuihfeuihifhe

watch grovetender void lore

[quasi lance]

Cell 1 just has a tiny little void barnacle on his Void Computer TM that is controlling all of the void enemies, and you can just shoot him in the head and you win!!1!1!! 🎉

[molten hound]

he will explain better than me :p

[gleaming flint]

but they kind of still have a infinite reach of contents.

most still would be a infinite reach of content because infinite inst a fixed number, but a concept.

[molten hound]

kinda, but nothing meaningful

[gleaming flint]

still. they would have a infinite reach of contents

a small part, yes but still a infinite

thats the annoying part of infinite

[molten hound]

im not gonna lie for a good 2 seconds i thought you got botted and you were talkin some "congrats! you won! go to this link to claim your prize! 🎊 " or smth lmao

[gleaming flint]

we cannot normaly understand it because everything we know IS finite

[molten hound]

not true my cat is infinite

[gleaming flint]

me too

[sacred elk]

mewgenics is a very funny video game
there were 3 champion mangys and i had a psychic with the passive that makes you deal 1 damage to everything when you kill something

[molten hound]

is your name a pikmin titan weevil reference i wonder

[sacred elk]

they got shredded by their own maggots

yeah

[molten hound]

i knew it
