Warframe players are shit at math.

3 Formas are 35p in the store

[proper dawn]

Or you could just

Run relics

Aug 21 silver rarity forma will give 2 rather than one

and SEVA PRIME

Time to invest 18 forma

Woo hoo hoo

And epitaph prime…

More like 24 forma

Me?

[noble dew]

@low obsidian I see that qingyi multipliers are high, should I build her for dmg?

[low obsidian]

well there isnt really any reason to not build stunners for damage

you just give them the impact set

impact main stat on 6th disc

and then go full dps

thats how all stunners atm are

[noble dew]

But will her dmg matter that much?
I'm between completely building her for dmg or start working on team 2

[low obsidian]

i dont think its too important

[spice sorrel]

she is absolutely not meant to do damage

[low obsidian]

dps character gear matters 10x more than stunner and support combined

[noble dew]

Got it

Thx

[stoic rampart]

ok but like

damn she does do damage

especially if you get that stupid 4x crit buff that executes enemies

just mash your attack and shit dies from random crit execution lmfao

[low obsidian]

but thats not really her

[noble dew]

Everyone is broken in hollow zero tho

[low obsidian]

thats just resonias doing resonia things

[cedar panther]

Hollow zero is just about how OP you can make your guys

[noble dew]

I'm about to go spend batteries on dennies cuz it is actually crazy how expensive this is

[cedar panther]

Do what waffle recommended and spend your outpost mats on the dennies there

[noble dew]

How fast can I farm a hollow stage

[low obsidian]

i used a ton of energy on dennies

[dense peak]

Yep

Cool guns

I love the smellies

[dense peak]

[merry frigate]

@placid swan

[noble dew]

Can I just leave oven at lv1?
It still gets the job done

[placid swan]

Interesting handgrip

[dense peak]

I really want to own at least one old service rifle

SMLEs look so good

Problem comes from the wallet

[merry frigate]

You can buy a drill purpose Lee

For $90

Demilled

[dense peak]

I should also say

[merry frigate]

But a good wall hanger

[dense peak]

I'm not from the US

[merry frigate]

Rip

[dense peak]

Then again italian gun laws are surprisingly lenient

[merry frigate]

They are

They're unironically better than california

[dense peak]

Lmao

[merry frigate]

I don't think you even have to register old bolt guns in Italy

Afaik you have to register modern stuff and "high capacity magazines"

[dense peak]

I've always assumed they were very tight since i never see guns around, but they're actually quite decent

[dense peak]

Oh no you do

The one ban is full auto

[merry frigate]

I mean

We have a soft ban on full auto here too

Nothing made after 1986

[dense peak]

I see

But at least that allows you to own older stuff I'd assume?

[merry frigate]

Yeah but it's cost prohibitive

[dense peak]

Grease guns

Oh i see

[merry frigate]

The cheapest one you can get is a Reising or Sten

$9500-12000

[dense peak]

Goodness

[merry frigate]

And neither are really that great lol

[dense peak]

Actually as a frame of reference

How much for a mosin around there?

[merry frigate]

The Reising is notorious for being one of the worst SMGs ever made

$350-700

If it's Finnish $650-1200

[dense peak]

I see

[merry frigate]

I bought one for $350

[dense peak]

Change the currency and it's the same here

[merry frigate]

Hated it so much I sold it a week later

[dense peak]

There's a few for 300€ but most go for 500

From what I've seen

I personally would just like to own an old rifle

Pre ww2

I don't really care what kind, i just think they're all neat

[merry frigate]

Shame you don't live her

I'd send you straight to the CMP

Garands for $700

[dense peak]

The one thing i envy about america

Garands are like gold here

[merry frigate]

I'm buying one next year

[dense peak]

They do not go for under a grand

[merry frigate]

Hoping to God they don't dry up before then

Oh they do

[dense peak]

Here i mean

[merry frigate]

In fact there's such a big problem with boomers buying in bulk from the CMP

Reselling $700 rifles for $2600

Then they complain that not enough young people are getting into surplus rifles

[dense peak]

I wonder why

[merry frigate]

We can't afford them because of them lol

[dense peak]

A shame

[merry frigate]

Luckily

I have connections as a reenactor

So I'll always be able to buy one for sub $1000

At least

[dense peak]

Nice perk

[merry frigate]

I like my Springfield tho

[dense peak]

Heh

Good guns

[merry frigate]

Made by Remington in September '42

Birth month rifle

[dense peak]

I talk like i know my shit buy I've nevery actually shot a gun yet

I just watch a shit ton of videos

[merry frigate]

It's not hard

I like making first timers start off big

.45, 30.06 and so forth

That way anything smaller feels easy lol

[dense peak]

Meaty

True

I've had that with old cars

[merry frigate]

Shooting almost exclusively .45 for the longest time ruined 22 for me

[dense peak]

Gramps had me start driving his 64 fiat cabriolet

That thing is not easy on a furst timer

[merry frigate]

I can't drive stick

😭

[dense peak]

But as a result, i drive well now

[dense peak]

It's a shame only if you don't care for cars

[merry frigate]

Honestly my favorite

[dense peak]

Looks clean

[merry frigate]

The fact I got it for $250

It's also really fun to shoot

I like revolvers

[dense peak]

Same here

[merry frigate]

I use it for reenactments and larps

[dense peak]

Then again, i like basically anything pre 1950 or so

[merry frigate]

No need for a blank adapter

[dense peak]

Why two SMLEs btw?

Well three

I'm assuming it's sporterized

[merry frigate]

Well

Autism

Shes my waifu

Raifu

[dense peak]

Oh

Gfl I'm assuming

[merry frigate]

I need to buy a No. 4 (T)

Yea

[dense peak]

Very very fair

[merry frigate]

They're all different in their own rights

[dense peak]

Afaik No4s are cheaper

[merry frigate]

One is a no. 1 mk3* made in australia

The other is a 1917 BSA with the cut off

Then a sporter for sporter purposes

1916 BSA

[dense peak]

Cool stuff

Money no object I'd love to own one

[merry frigate]

I have much .303 from '42

[upper umbra]

anyone play limbus company?

[merry frigate]

No

But I like older women

https://tenor.com/view/outis-limbus-company-gif-4101120533128415534

[dense peak]

Ate these kinds of old ammo stocks safe usually?

[merry frigate]

If it's british, canadian, Australian y3s

I have 160 rounds of pakistani. 303

That stuff IS NOT safe

[dense peak]

Lmao

Fair

[upper umbra]

we love older women!!!!

[dense peak]

Me when older women

[merry frigate]

Let me summarize paki .303

Click....

[dense peak]

I think i know where this is going

[merry frigate]

Bang

[dense peak]

Yep

That does not sound fun in the slightest

[merry frigate]

I haven't tested it myself

But thats the common consensus online

And I don't really want to deal with a squib in my 100 year old rifle

[dense peak]

Wouldn't want to test that theory

[dense peak]

[wispy basin]

You aren't like those Instagram people are you?

[merry frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/nixon-gif-17156327119933290359

Gramps does own one rather cool puece of memorabilia

[merry frigate]

?

[digital folio]

haven't tested

he's scared

and rightfully so

[merry frigate]

Of course I'm scared

[wispy basin]

A lot of people on Instagram say that they wanna be groomed by older women

[merry frigate]

My lee is my baby

[wispy basin]

[merry frigate]

Sniff it like it's crack

[dense peak]

[merry frigate]

I have a piece of history from the shipfu

[dense peak]

Minnie!

[merry frigate]

The staples are rusted

I'm afraid to open it more than 30 degrees

[dense peak]

I can imagine

[merry frigate]

I wish something remained of my grandfather's boats

Theoretically his minesweeper could still be out there

Many YMS minesweepers were turned into private yachts

[merry frigate]

But there's no records

[dense peak]

One hell of a yacht

[merry frigate]

Springy with a pokey stick

[dense peak]

I can't fathom how people used to ride those hold harleys

Not only do they weigh a ton

Their clutch is a PEDAL

[merry frigate]

My grandfather rode one in japan during his shore patrol duty

Wrecked it and nearly paralyzed himself lol

[dense peak]

Jesus

I dat to push gramp's up a hill one time cause it wouldn't start

[merry frigate]

He recovered within a couple months so he was able to avoid medical discharge

[dense peak]

I'm not doing that again

[merry frigate]

And so he went back to riding motorcycles again in civilian life

[dense peak]

Sounds like he's been there and done that

[merry frigate]

His brother didn't want my dad to ever ride a motorcycles

So he took him to the hospital he worked at one day

Brain surgeon, girl came in, also another motorcycle crash. Looked at her condition and turned around and announced time of death lol

It was effective

[dense peak]

Lmao

[merry frigate]

I also own one of the jacks that flew on the second SMS Emden

[dense peak]

Holy

[merry frigate]

I found it in a pile of old signal flags and etc. At a market in england.

[wispy basin]

Holy shit how did you find that?

[merry frigate]

Sheer chance

I bought it for about £75

Online they don't go for that much more

Usually $500-750

People just aren't super interested in old great war era cruisers I guess

Like if something like that from WWII was listed for sale it'd be over 10 grand

[dense peak]

I'm assuming the seller wasn't quite aware of what he was selling

[merry frigate]

I think he was actuallt

He was an old gentleman

Easily in his late 80s

[dense peak]

Who knows then

[merry frigate]

My guess is that he's trying to sell off his collection to people who actually give a damn lol.

[dense peak]

Might be actually

[merry frigate]

I've known a few vets like that

They sell off their collection to younger folk hoping to keep things and their history around for awhile longer.

If they sell them for more then only older folk can afford it. The smarter decision is to enable gen z and millennials to collect.

The only thing I'm gonna take to my grave with me is my lithgow lee and lee enfield keychain lol.

[dense peak]

Heh

Can't blame ya

[merry frigate]

Oh yeah i also have this box of mystery .303

Unmarked

Could be iraqi

Could be pakistani

Could indian

[dense peak]

I'd rather not find out

One day I'll own one too

[polar tusk]

I have a Type 99 Arisaka and a Smith Corona 1903 Springfield

But yours it’s just as awesome

[merry frigate]

I'm not a fan of A3s honestly

I'm the rare type of person who prefers ladder sights

[polar tusk]

I got that one cuz there’s only something like 300,000 smith corona variants out of the 5 mil. Springfields, so it’s a neat antique

[polar tusk]

Also that is a rarity to hear

[merry frigate]

Corona Virus

[polar tusk]

Ooh ohh I also wanna show this

[merry frigate]

1927

I have some from 1942 and 43

As well some from 1961

[noble dew]

Wdym average hp was ~76%

[polar tusk]

That’s awesome

If I showed all the coats, helmets and things I have, I would fill up this server with photos and such -

[lyric solar]

[lyric solar]

Added the FFXVI demo to my Steam account

[zealous hawk]

I'm exchausted

I did work

[lyric solar]

As well as the Wukong benchmark

[stoic rampart]

you say this now but it's like most mihoyo games.

When you level cap

Your extra exp = currency

[cedar panther]

Who’s even reaching the level cap so soon though

[knotty zodiac]

Jane is too hot for this world tbh

[digital folio]

it's true

we are not worthy

[knotty zodiac]

I finally did her part of the story

[zealous hawk]

I have like 50 pulls ready for next event... skipped this event for no particular reason

[cedar panther]

it was good, they actually told a cool story without needing the proxy to be involved

[knotty zodiac]

Even just walking around is like sheesh

[knotty zodiac]

TBF the proxy is involved but only as a video store manager lol

[digital folio]

she's so fucking thick

[cedar panther]

her tail makes a clank noise whenever you stop walking

[zealous hawk]

wait what mission does this unlock>?

the city

[noble dew]

But the amount you get is usually negligible

[digital folio]

those high waist shorts are not good for my heart

[knotty zodiac]

The city itself is unlocked in chapter 2 I think

[cedar panther]

I really didn’t like Seth though

Well, how he felt to play

His character is fine

[zealous hawk]

the heck

I'm on chapter 2

I've been slow af

[knotty zodiac]

Jane's story is not unlocked until the end of chapter 3

[cedar panther]

Chapter 2 is construction yard and city

[zealous hawk]

yeah

I'm content with shoe yuan for now

[knotty zodiac]

Somehow they've designed a character with maxed out stats in cute, hot, and sexy

[digital folio]

should be illegal under gambling laws

tbh

[knotty zodiac]

Precious

[zealous hawk]

wait for her to get in the regular pull

[digital folio]

hiiii! hiiiii! hello! hello! hiiii! hiii!

[stoic rampart]

You're gonna hit that endless cycle of not having shit to do and just farming gear while passively getting currency lol

[zealous hawk]

I only logged into zzz yesterday to draw fan art of shoe yuan, but then I got forced into trial mode for a mission

[noble dew]

Oh I usually just stop farming at this point

[zealous hawk]

I got the Anby figure on PO already

[knotty zodiac]

Somehow I've managed to get Soldier 11 and Grace Howard from stable signal pulls and then out of 130 combined exclusive pulls gotten Ellen, Zhu Yuan, and Qingyi

[zealous hawk]

I want Nicole next

[knotty zodiac]

So I still have like 12k polychrome for next banner, which I hope/suspect will be jane

[zealous hawk]

I'll probably save for John Doe, or skip idk

Not feeling her compared to Shoe Yuan

see how she plays before I obsess

[knotty zodiac]

Zhu Yuan was actually the character I was least enthusiastic about but Nicole is the only other ether option so I pulled for her anyway

Well, not like I disliked her or anything

But I got her in 20 pulls so it worked out

[zealous hawk]

Isn't nicole like a starter character?

[knotty zodiac]

Yeah

[cedar panther]

in this update they surprised me with the amount of side content they added

[knotty zodiac]

lol

[cedar panther]

Even if a lot of it is shit

[zealous hawk]

I love nicole

I even like Billy Kidd

[knotty zodiac]

A regular in one of my servers is like "Oh no she's so smug and she has big booba I'm in love"

[zealous hawk]

Strong starting group ngl

[cedar panther]

these games always have an elemental option that they starve you with at the start

[zealous hawk]

"I like her because she is rich"

[cedar panther]

We’ll be drowning in ether characters soon

[zealous hawk]

idk, she always talking about money... I skipped the story

[knotty zodiac]

Story is the best part of ZZZ IMO

[cedar panther]

lol she’s the opposite of rich

if you like her that much you should listen to the humour of the whole cunning hares thing

[knotty zodiac]

ZZZ does a good job in both

1. Having an interesting story
2. Telling you the story in an interesting way

[zealous hawk]

I mostly know lore from people a couple stages ahead and dialogue

I'm surprised that some squad mates will talk to each other

[cedar panther]

the game is actually oozing with personality

which is the last thing I expected from hoyo

[zealous hawk]

I think Anby and Nicole do communicate each other when they switch

[cedar panther]

All squad mates have switch dialogue with one another

Billy too but I haven’t used him in a while so I don’t remember

[zealous hawk]

Not all of them communicate iirc

Anby doesn't talk to Shoe Yuan

[knotty zodiac]

Yeah, from what I can tell characters from the same faction have unique dialog that can trigger when switching from one to the other in battle

E.g. zhu yuan has dialog with qingyi

[zealous hawk]

hm

[cedar panther]

Yeah Anby has no relation to her so she won’t say anything

[zealous hawk]

Yeah, because billy, anby, and nicole all talk to each other

I also know that other trio from chapter 2 does

I wonder later on they'll add more dialogue options

[low obsidian]

I doubt

[cedar panther]

probably not for cross squad unless they have some sort of connection via the story

[low obsidian]

If the characters don't have a reason to know each other

[zealous hawk]

Doubt hard enough, anything will happen

I don't expect mihoyo to go the extra mile anyway

I want grace howard

And burnice

makes sense then

[lyric solar]

oh yeah this new motherboard has white heatsyncs
That'll go well with my white case and cooler

[coral mantle]

ASUS one?

[lyric solar]

yea that

[coral mantle]

have fun with that. tho i dont think ASUS will do anything dumb again. they can only take so many PR hits

transformers when they use the same mold for the same figure but different colors

there's like

GI Joe

[zealous hawk]

those with names and those with acronyms and numbers

or be like gundam

[merry frigate]

GI Joe was my jam

[zealous hawk]

I recently watched inhumanoids, that felt like a fever dream

funnily enough i remember transformer names better than i remember real names

It was the 80s

80s cartoon comedy was pretty bad

nah he got his body back

Megatron: points gun at Screamer They betrayed you and you're stuck in this pit with me? Are you a traitor or an idiot?!
Starscream: An idiot! An idiot!

[buoyant crag]

Found it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT_nCpLc5yQ

[astral pecan]

i fuckin love the sheer number of starscream recolors

like you have the usual seekers

then the rainmakers

then a few one-offs like nacelle

and i guess slipstream counts kinda

and then there's the coneheads sorta

[white moth]

Same mold, just redecorated.

Protip: don't read tfwiki.net; you'll see too much

[astral pecan]

thundercracker's kinda goated ngl

[white moth]

That's only in the IDW comic where he becomes a movie producer

[zealous hawk]

There are some people who like the Michael Bay's dorito version of starscream

[astral pecan]

i liked him in cybertron too
cybertron thundercracker was his own thing

[white moth]

That's a good point

[white moth]

I still stand by transformers prime's starscream best design

[zealous hawk]

[white moth]

I think I have a talking figurine of Prime Screamer I need to get rid of

[zealous hawk]

I was thinking about getting one, but not now

[white moth]

That's Cha... I mean Quattro

wuwa mod is lit

[zealous hawk]

Andrew Waltfeld is my favorite Zeon pilot

[white moth]

(if you were asking about the giant super robot, it's from an old series called Macross, or possibly Robotech depending on your region)

[zealous hawk]

I know by both names

I think I only watched the robotech version cause I watched it dubbed

[white moth]

True 80s/90s spawn

[zealous hawk]

and I know macross isn't dubbed yet

THANKS GOLDEN HARMONY

[white moth]

Carl Maceker

[zealous hawk]

wait

[white moth]

I can't believe they still have the copyrights

[merry frigate]

Watch GI Joe sigma six

[zealous hawk]

it's harmony gold

[merry frigate]

4kids dubbed it

[astral pecan]

i wanna watch the original gi joe some time

[zealous hawk]

I can't believe Ball Chain is on their highlights lmfao

[merry frigate]

I used to have it all on VCR

[white moth]

The original Joe was... Weird. They had some nice 5 part episodes

[astral pecan]

i think hasbro uploaded all of the episodes on youtube

[zealous hawk]

hey, 4kids has talented VAs, maybe not writers, but that's besides the point

Southern Cross?

[white moth]

They keep the swimsuit cut?

[astral pecan]

the what

[zealous hawk]

huh interesting

Not really into mechas, just like blondes

[iron dune]

I don't get it
so I just bought a watt meter
the label says "made in china"
but the instructions paper only written in german

[white moth]

One episode the Joes are talking to their HQ and when the shot pans out, it's the roof top and two girls sunbathing.

[iron dune]

I don't even live in Europe

[zealous hawk]

I like how all of the hasbro series are on YT lmfao

[white moth]

No reason for that spot but it's there

[zealous hawk]

somehow this is the least offensive thing after watching too much anime

[white moth]

[zealous hawk]

btw

you should watch inhumanoids

abandon hasbro property

[white moth]

I have. I have the DVD. And maybe a toy

[astral pecan]

ooo, noted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7XJ7lXDZVQ&list=PL76FONZLeL9v2-ij462o4dBlvZvfmXmR8

[white moth]

The kissing the statue of Liberty was a turning point

That she became a nag and the villain that kidnapped her had to return her at the end was just a laugh

[astral pecan]

i've watched too many 80's and 90's cartoon at this point

[zealous hawk]

I find it extremely funny how like

The series starts ok

[zealous hawk]

and then completely went unhinged after Hasbro said "yeah, shows gotta wrap up. we ain't doing more of this"

And the writers were like

[white moth]

There's also.. Bigfoot, the monster truck crew searching for the fountain of youth

[zealous hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-turtles-burning-glasses-gif-22167018

[astral pecan]

i wanna watch the fuckin hanna barbara rubik's cube show

that one sounds like a trip

[zealous hawk]

So a show about fighting monsters turned into a political commentary on corporations ruining the environments lmfao

[white moth]

Jem. Thundercats. Silver Hawks and their nonsense stories.

[zealous hawk]

I remember watching SWAT Cats

[white moth]

I really thought StarCon would have lasted more then 13 dramatic episodes

[astral pecan]

one of my personal favorite shows is extreme dinosaurs for how silly it is

[zealous hawk]

@reef isle I know you'll like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0IQBWWabuU

[white moth]

That TMS animated Bionic Six isn't on DVD is a crying shame

[astral pecan]

the main antagonists, the raptors, are trying to speed up global warming in any way they can

[zealous hawk]

some of the GI joe villains gimmicks were hilarious af

[white moth]

Makes sense. More than Street Sharks or Mighty Ducks

[astral pecan]

one episode had the raptors kidnap a bunch of politicians bc they were gonna sign paperwork to reduce global warming

[zealous hawk]

That's sounds like SNL sketch

[white moth]

Also a GI Joe episode. And possibly a Bionic 6 episode

[astral pecan]

and badrap wouldn't let them go until they not only agree not to sign the bill, but sign a different one that promises to increase it instead

[white moth]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/547/135/120

[zealous hawk]

I like how hasbro just keeps up all the reuploads of their cartoons on YT because the whole point of the shows was to sell toys, so like they even reupload it themselves lol

[astral pecan]

and there's another episode where the raptors legally purchase a tropical island after running the locals off

so the extreme dinosuars have to not only drive the raptors off, but get him to sign the island back to the original owners

and like any tmnt ripoff, the dinosaurs have a Signature Favorite Food in the form of mexican food

[zealous hawk]

[astral pecan]

bc they went to mexico for one episode

[zealous hawk]

💀

[white moth]

That was totally a GI Joe comic plot (getting the international rights to invade Cobra Island, an island they initially bribed the UN to legalize)

[white moth]

Nostalgia of one heck of a drug

[astral pecan]

sweet jesus

[zealous hawk]

All inhumanoids toys are like that too 😔

[white moth]

Dinosaucers was also a thing
https://youtube.com/watch?v=gy7fO2i9y94

[astral pecan]

to bring up a good show for a sec, i highly recommeing watching exosquad

[zealous hawk]

I heard only in name about it

[astral pecan]

it's kinda like an american version of gundam in the best way possible

[white moth]

Exo Squad is an amazing Western take on... Well, Gundam

Season 1 on DVD. Season 2 really needs to be out.

[thorn onyx]

Qingyi has such nice crowd control

[astral pecan]

basically focuses on a war between the humans and neo-sapiens, a breed of humans that were grown to work in labor before revolting and being led into a war by phaeton

basically WWII in space across venus, earth, and mars

[zealous hawk]

Wacky racers of mechas

[white moth]

And it devolves to various human civil wars (pirates, collaborators, rebels)

[astral pecan]

oh yeah, and it doesn't shy away from this stuff too

like people DIE

[white moth]

Wacky Races. That's a name I haven't heard in a while

[zealous hawk]

I love that show

[astral pecan]

which for an american cartoon is kinda a big deal

[white moth]

It aired in the worst spots in America.

Like 4am

[astral pecan]

and the series ended on a cliffhanger, which pisses me off to no end

[zealous hawk]

it's funny, because most deaths are still implied

[astral pecan]

i want a season three so bad,,,,

[zealous hawk]

lol just a collage of hanna-barbera properties

[white moth]

Seeing the general take over the command ship and ram into the other command ship is definitely not a subtly implied death

[white moth]

Hah, I didn't think of it like that

[astral pecan]

and jt marsh being damn near executed for treason when he tried to stop him

[white moth]

S3 would have been too politicky -- the integration of humans and neos wouldn't have had as much action without pirates or a third alien wheel

[zealous hawk]

I enjoyed it. I don't even think I can even say the compact car name anymore

[zealous hawk]

kissing and getting close is considered normal in cartoons, weridly 2 things that aren't in animer

My guy Batman have a love triangle and made out with both, all in one episode

(Batman Beyond)

[astral pecan]

well you see, anime has waifus and cartoon don't and uhhh
we gotta keep the waifus pure or something

[zealous hawk]

[white moth]

Canadian CG cartoon Reboot summarized that in one feature: uniboobs

[zealous hawk]

Melanie Walker one of the beside side villains

[astral pecan]

i've watched a load of cartoon adaptations of video games

[zealous hawk]

I didn't even fathom Transformers fans can get horny until I meet Arcee lmfao

[white moth]

When Dot in Reboot got her 2 boobs turned to one boob, they were going general audience; when she got 2 boobs back, it was more mature storylines again

[astral pecan]

sonic, mario, donkey kong, double dragon, some street fighter, mega man, etc

[astral pecan]

you think tf fans are getting horny over arcee

[white moth]

Donkey Kong has it really bad

[astral pecan]

i've seen people lust over megatron

[zealous hawk]

Might do a Melanie Walker fan art now

[astral pecan]

honestly? the dk cartoon is a guilty pleasure of mine

[zealous hawk]

I... uh...

https://tenor.com/view/confused-what-really-no-words-huh-gif-4487358

[astral pecan]

like i think season one is genuinely funny

season two can go die in a hole tho
they butchered dk there

[white moth]

Candy Kong went "there"

[zealous hawk]

Melanie Walker only showed up in Batman Beyond?

[astral pecan]

oof candy kong sucks

[zealous hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-7523306793289960933

[white moth]

Where else would she be?

[zealous hawk]

Everywhere

[astral pecan]

but yeah out of all the adaptations i watched i think mega man, sonic, and mario got it the best

they're at least recognizable to the source material

[zealous hawk]

If condiment king can make a comeback, then Melanie Walker can

https://tenor.com/view/hiroi-kikuri-hiroi-drinking-sake-bocchi-the-rock-gif-10481455104251645191

[astral pecan]

ok well, maybe not sonic
stirctly talking about aost ph and satam btw

but i think aosth is aight

satam i don't really care about

[zealous hawk]

I never cared about sonic outside of the fast food joint

I'm still shocked SEGA hasn't done a promotion with Sonic

[white moth]

Then there's X (gottagofaster)

[astral pecan]

i've watched a decent chunk of jp sonic X

[white moth]

Sega doesn't know how to market themselves. Ever

[zealous hawk]

I heard SEGA just kind like the dad that occasionally checks in and then just dips

[white moth]

It took them how long as a publisher to even get that right?

[astral pecan]

though being honest i was watching it mostly so i could get to season 3, which i heard was good

[zealous hawk]

btw hoops

sorry I didn't commit with that commission

I ended up drawing NJ cheese myself

[astral pecan]

yeah i saw lol
i don't mind

actually found it pretty cool you decided to draw it yourself

[white moth]

I've liked Sega since the 70's. They did some weird experimental crap and encouraged that.
But they also kept losing money. They didn't market the good weird crap they did, they just kept putting money into making more of it. Until they did a 180 and became Nintendo of cranking out sequels. But also be bad about making money or advertising.

[zealous hawk]

yeah... I lost my pen... that what got me drawing again. Bought a Wacom

[zealous hawk]

SEGA lost their midas touch after they stopped making consoles ngl

[astral pecan]

iirc sega was going through some serious internal shenanigans

[zealous hawk]

honestly, unlike SEGA, what made Microsoft fell off in the eyes of the gamer when they try to pivot Xbox One as a entertainment center, not gaming

[zealous hawk]

Only company cares about exclusives now is Sony

[white moth]

[astral pecan]

unless it's the ps5

[white moth]

I have bad news for you...

[zealous hawk]

I guess so. Sony was losing their minds that they might lose CoD

[astral pecan]

god i love the "ps5 has no games" joke
like it's the same joke every time but it cracks me up

[zealous hawk]

I've been living under a rock

[reef isle]

Breh

I could not go back to seasons 1-5

I had skipped right back to S6 of mlp

[white moth]

Sony was the original "we successfully made our system be an entertainment center" company. Because they also made TVs, speakers, DVDs, Blu-ray...

[zealous hawk]

I am not up to speed with the lore. My brain is stuck in Xbox 1 era

[astral pecan]

me neither lol

[white moth]

XBone'd

[astral pecan]

everything i hear about modern gaming is from other people talking about it

i'm stuck a lil further back tho
like ps1 era or so

[zealous hawk]

The difference is, Sony PS was made for gaming and marketted as gaming
Xbox 1 was marketted as a "entertainment center" (like Amazon Firestick). In fact, you can run cable TV through your Xbox iirc

[white moth]

I'm from the literal 70s. I'm still on my Gameboy in the toilet

[wispy basin]

My poor kidneys

[zealous hawk]

I quit listening to gaming commentary channels, they all rage bait

[astral pecan]

yeah i don't touch gaming commentary videos

[zealous hawk]

[astral pecan]

NOOOOO MY CABLE TELEVISION

[zealous hawk]

I think they used to market this in their original promotion

overpriced format

I wanna play albaz at locals but I've been working on Thursdays

My deck is near ready

It's going to be amazing

[wispy basin]

they also made an ash blossom figure

[wispy basin]

I'm happy that battlewasp is getting support though

[novel dust]

❤️‍🔥

right.....

[stoic rampart]

card games are a glorified p2w gacha

aww fuck it is 3 ssr banners....

[mental cloud]

Yes and no, if it's something like buying cards separately and structure decks, then you know what you get. Card games like Duel Links and Master Duel are shitty gacha tho

Horrible even imo

[stoic rampart]

You said there's a free Alice, right?

Cause she's about to be a fucking Core +5 if there is one

[mental cloud]

Free Alice?

[full ivy]

You can pay TEN DOLLARS and get a deck that's ready for a tournament. You're literally crying about less money than ONE HOUR at a retail store as a bottom earning clerk, MY DUUUDE.

[stoic rampart]

.....ONE. MORE.

Good ol mystic mine.

Shoulda never banned you.

Ye ol No U card

[wispy basin]

I hated the card

Kashtira is unfun to play against

[wanton roost]

you say that but in the TCG to get a top competing deck you're paying 1k lol, MD that's like 200$ at most

[stoic rampart]

irl p2w gacha

[wanton roost]

MD you can also buy, and craft singles, and certain cards it's not like you're at the mercy of the packs

[mental cloud]

Just irl p2w, not gacha unless you try to get cards from packs

It depends on the card rarity too

[silver imp]

cardboard. crack.

[silver imp]

my MTG competitive days are long behind me but last i checked my dudes who stayed in were at five figure collections and counting

[full ivy]

Amazon. Some cards like 0.15-0.25
Some structure decks are good enough to have fun (and maybe even win) at a few local tournaments. Are you honestly saying you would try for nationals? At a game you're ripping on? Lol

Lmao even

[silver imp]

anyone thinking you can get a tourney deck for a card game for 10 dollars is delusional. it's tourney legal, sure, but you're gonna die in prelims instantly

[mental cloud]

Definitely not for $10

[full ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/card-crusher-gif-23131882

[mental cloud]

I don't think you can even get a decent structure deck for 10

[silver imp]

definitely not

[wispy basin]

I've never hated a card i own more than her

[silver imp]

not for anything with actual tourneys

[mental cloud]

You'll need a side deck too

You will need it, it's not optional

[silver imp]

the card protectors themselves are probably already over 10 bucks

[full ivy]

That's to start. But here we are in eternal goal post land where you can kick a field goal and it's not good because instead of being from the 40 yard line, now it's two fields you have to kick across because reasons.

[silver imp]

to stop your opponent from eating your cards so they win by default

which is an actual thing

[mental cloud]

Imagine you buy a $300 card and some greasy dude sweats all over it

[silver imp]

fucking mtg

[wispy basin]

If we don't get hologram duels in the future I'm gonna just be disappointed

[stoic rampart]

you know what was a great era? when you didnt chain summon 20 monsters and get 10 negates to work with

[wanton roost]

this doesn't excuse the exorbitant price on a lot of cards in the TCG market you can point to all the low cost cards you want, but that should be the norm across the board

[silver imp]

it really should

[full ivy]

imagine greasing over your own cards
Kek

[stoic rampart]

all you gotta do is like

fucking limit summon to 5

and the game is fun

[mental cloud]

Yugioh powercreep worried me for the longest time. It's why I always sticked to YGOPRO

[silver imp]

but fucking collectors driving up prices and the card companies encouraging it because that's where they make their money

[mental cloud]

I think even Master Duel playing is cope

[wispy basin]

Thank god red eyes dark dragoon isn't $200 anymore

[silver imp]

y'all know the old joke

[wispy basin]

Banned in the ocg

But tcg it's legal at 3

[wanton roost]

Konami does absolutely nothing for TCG to combat the exorbitant prices which is sad

[silver imp]

one to never open, one to display, one for use

[full ivy]

To be fair and to even agree with you on this point, it really is silly how economy works. You have a card no one even really uses but it's cool and the value goes up because people buy it? Woah! We need common sense card laws.

[wispy basin]

I own an elemental hero Air neos

[mental cloud]

No one's arguing against supply and demand

[wanton roost]

no, Konami could you know release a 30 to 60 dollar booster, and that solves a lot of problem

wild concept

[full ivy]

Then the cards of varying rarities aren't unreasonably priced

[mental cloud]

Konami for sure likes prices inflated and artificial scarcity

[wispy basin]

Or just more rarity collections

[wanton roost]

as far as I know the rarity system is fucked for TCG

[mental cloud]

OCG is better, still a lot of expensive cards, but you get shiny ones for cheaper

[full ivy]

Grease master online pays $200 to buy a carton of boosters
Konami gets $200
He sells the rarest stuff online and gets more
KONAMI SOMEHOW GETS MORE MONEY FROM THIS

[wanton roost]

[mental cloud]

Why are you dickriding a company to begin with?

[full ivy]

Goal post has moved from the start up cost is too much
It can be as low as $10
but to win in a major tournament, you need at least HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
Goal post moves to winning major tournaments
Also online sales are too expensive
Konami benefits from expensive cards sold online

[mental cloud]

On a discord server

Using greentext

[full ivy]

I heard we get a Black Friday sale. How much do each skin go on sale for?

You get to buy skins that you can't normally buy

[full ivy]

Ig there is no point waiting time to grab some swimsuit skins

[wanton roost]

well they rerun a bunch of limited outfits up to a certain date

[full ivy]

And you remember what I said. You can buy a structure deck at like $10 MSRP and go have fun and you said how bad the experience would be.

[stoic rampart]

Everyone running the same 3-5 cancer decks to win every tournament is soooooooooooooooooooo fun and healthy for the game

[full ivy]

Ah gotcha. Ty Taz and Lorax!

[silver imp]

yes, and I stand by that statement because it's a god damned fact.

[mental cloud]

Could've argued in good faith about that point, you didn't. You put words in peoples mouths and started mocking

[full ivy]

That happens when you decide you dislike someone because they disagree with you. I'll post a few more times and you'll feel safe insulting me more. It's fair.

[mental cloud]

It doesn't make you smart, it makes you insecure

If red eyes is now good that's saying something

[stoic rampart]

summons blue eyes

[wispy basin]

Which recently got more support

[stoic rampart]

You're god damn right.

summons deep eyes

[wispy basin]

I love that card

[stoic rampart]

OH YOU KILLED MY BLUE EYES
Deep eyes.

[mental cloud]

Last time I played Red Eyes was ok

Has it gotten more support?

[stoic rampart]

OH YOU'RE KILLING MY DEEP EYES?

HAHA BLACK HOLE.

[wispy basin]

My favorite blue eyes card is this one:

[wispy basin]

A stupidity broken card that was overpriced but then got cheaper

[stoic rampart]

yea that one is fun until they summon something stronger lol

[mental cloud]

Ah, Dragoon isn't new

It TECHNICALLY is red eyes support, people will tech in cards just to use him in other decks tho lol

[wispy basin]

Some decks are built to summon it

[mental cloud]

Or they would

[wanton roost]

Blue Eyes got a new set in the OCG, so I completely expect TCG market to explode when that hits

[mental cloud]

Blue eyes was always more consistent unfortunately iirc

[wispy basin]

And more expensive

[silver imp]

Speaking of gachas

[mental cloud]

Dark Magician I saw got new support

I won my 50/50

Red Eye's is the ugly child let's be real lol

Yeah, Blue eyes
