[hearty yarrow]

It's not separated in rockstar or per game directly I guess but like

Idk why it needs some hack when a lot of this is just public anyway

[fathom juniper]

Yeah I get your point

But that vid has it separated per game and per platform

[hearty yarrow]

Ye I suppose

It kinda doesn't tell me much new

Rockstar hasnt exactly been secret that gta online makes the big bucks

And take two mentions it as a big income product in this very form

And that's just this form

They make financial statements all the time lol

The hack leak or whatever feels like shock woah info to people who dont read

[thorny shoal]

a10 3 wins streak

this might be my best

maybe it's time to retire from sts

[thorny shoal]

[fathom juniper]

man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XItfFJCtMnI

damn robots!
they took goose's job!

[elfin matrix]

rune factory 4 is better

[hexed kindle]

we know videogame adaptations are never good

but i'm hyped for street fighter

it looks amazing

[fathom juniper]

AH!

aha!

im gonna do it!

i'm gonna be that guy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaEtA56pd_w

best videogame adaptation so far

[hexed kindle]

i'm gonna be fr. i don't know what is this

[fathom juniper]

[hexed kindle]

but i don't like horror movies 😔

[fathom juniper]

OH BOY i'd love to be in your shoes

seriously

it's such a great experience

[fathom juniper]

neither do i but i enjoyed this one so much i went to the cinema twice for it

[hexed kindle]

does he say the phrase

[fathom juniper]

it's morbing time?

no

[hexed kindle]

"hello everybody my name is markplier"

does he say it

please say he does

[fathom juniper]

nope

BUT

he is credited as markiplier

which i find funny

[hexed kindle]

oh. okay that's epic

just saying. I don't know if there's a villain. but it would've been amazing

he's about to win against the movie's villain. and he goes. "hello everybody, my name's markplier"

[fathom juniper]

the movie is doing the intro credits thing and it's like
"Music by: Andrew Halshult" ||my beloved ||
sets by this first name, last name
starring this first name last name

*and markiplier

[hexed kindle]

and the theater goes WILD

[fathom juniper]

nah the theater went wild when he took off his shirt 3/4ths into the movie

[hexed kindle]

oh well i don't doubt it did

[fathom juniper]

well - the girl sitting behind me went

true story

[thorny shoal]

i liked the last of us adaptation

it was like a 7/10

[fathom juniper]

yeah

[thorny shoal]

game was better

[fathom juniper]

a 7/10

6 or 7

[thorny shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/6-7-67-6-7-six-seven-gif-13325313146731976925

[fathom juniper]

it was doing so well, but then the ending came and i was like

[hexed kindle]

i like the last of us. but the show was more of the game again

[fathom juniper]

what

[hexed kindle]

i already played the game

so like

i felt like I wasted my time

except for a few specific episodes like Bill's. that was very good

[thorny shoal]

funnily enough my favorite episode of the adaptation was a show original

[fathom juniper]

get out

[thorny shoal]

yes that one

my favorite episode

[hexed kindle]

had it been more of that. I think i'd have enjoyed the show more

the rest was like "yeah okay the last of us"

[thorny shoal]

wait bim you werent making a 6 7 joke??

[fathom juniper]

no!

dude

i'm old

[thorny shoal]

well i dont think im in the age range of that generation either but im trying to be hip

[fathom juniper]

fair enough

[fathom juniper]

[rustic falcon]

i have hope for elden ring

i love annihilation and having a video game movie made by someone who loves the video game is awesome

i would love to watch iron lung. when its finally available online

[fathom juniper]

well
it is

hell you can watch it on youtube if you want

but don't do that

[rustic falcon]

i thought the digital release was delayed?

[fathom juniper]

1 - it's not official
2 - the quality sucks

wait

[fathom juniper]

delayed?

[rustic falcon]

something like its being finalized but theyre looking into the right monetization methods rn

[fathom juniper]

oh you mean that

that's old news
already sorted out

it's gonna be sold on youtube

[rustic falcon]

awesome

i will wait for that then

[fathom juniper]

i'm still gonna buy it on bluray though

this movie will look gorgeous on an oled

[rustic falcon]

i dont have a bluray player

[fathom juniper]

do you have a ps4?
or 5?

[rustic falcon]

this is making me wish i had some physical copies of my favorite movies aka the ones i watch on repeat

do i look like-

[thorny shoal]

An unc

[rustic falcon]

jk. no i dont. i may have had a ps3 in the past

i dont know where it is now

[fathom juniper]

oofff

[rustic falcon]

come on now

bim is older than me for sure

[thorny shoal]

For sure

[fathom juniper]

hang on

[rustic falcon]

for sureeeee

[thorny shoal]

But I also wish I had physical copies of my favorite movies

And everything basically

Best I can do rn is the occasional comic book

[fathom juniper]

https://youtu.be/RSHUUGSNGvs?t=2277

cool

for some reason i can't clip stuff on YT anymore

so a timestamp will have to do

[fathom juniper]

i have all john wick movies on bluray

[thorny shoal]

Do you have

[fathom juniper]

yes

[thorny shoal]

Ballerina: John wick

[fathom juniper]

no

[thorny shoal]

Or John wick: ballerina

Fake fan!

[fathom juniper]

i'm actually scared of them milking this franchise to death

[thorny shoal]

Too late

[rustic falcon]

i remember enjoying the first 2 movies

[fathom juniper]

HELL YEAH

[rustic falcon]

and then trying to watch the 3rd one and not having any fun at all, i just turned it off

[fathom juniper]

3 is... the weakest in the series

it's not bad
it's got this one third-person shooter sequence

and halle berry

so it gets some free points there

but it is a step down when compared to the rest

[hexed kindle]

same

elden ring and death stranding are the ones I'm looking forward to

[fathom juniper]

there's a death stranding movie in the works?

[hexed kindle]

a live action movie, an anime show and an anime movie

okay wait. let me edit that

[fathom juniper]

watch it be a regular walkthrough with loading screens cut out

[hexed kindle]

they said it will be an original story set in the game's universe

so likely no norman reedus at all

[fathom juniper]

aaawww

i actually quite like him

[hexed kindle]

unlike Ballerina. that has Norman Reedus

I didn't watch that though

[fathom juniper]

yeah

[hexed kindle]

i'm hyped for Caine. that character was awesome

i love john wick 4

[fathom juniper]

but anyway - seeing norman reedus changing from this generic doomer boomer sad, mad gloomer into a dad was fun

one of the most interesting aspects of the game

[fathom juniper]

HELL YEAH!

[hexed kindle]

i wasn't that much of a fan of death stranding because i felt like the characters were like

they were so weird

death stranding 2 however. that game was so good

[fathom juniper]

haven't played 2 yet

[hexed kindle]

it's more character driven i feel. that's why it hit harder for me

[fathom juniper]

[hexed kindle]

and the "driven" part can be taken literally

there's a lot of driving

i was driving a lot for sure

lots of cars

so much driving i could be ryan gosling

[mystic wave]

bim look! car games!

[fathom juniper]

i would aks "which ones", but...

they all look the same nowadays

[mystic wave]

death stranding 2, silly

[fathom juniper]

ah, yes
my favorite car... game?

[hexed kindle]

it has cars. trucks more specifically

[fathom juniper]

i just want burnout back...

[hexed kindle]

and bikes

and uh. yeah

death strandings

[fathom juniper]

so did the first one

[hexed kindle]

yeah but this one has a [spoiler]

which is really cool

[fathom juniper]

[mystic wave]

waow

[fathom juniper]

hope it makes them handle well for a change

[hexed kindle]

it also has uh

walking

but that's not surprising is it

[fathom juniper]

it also had a piss button!

literally postal 2
it's just walking and pissing

[hexed kindle]

never played postal. but I did play

portal

1 and 2

[fathom juniper]

honestly?
if you can handle raunchy humor - i cannot recommend postal 2 enough

[hexed kindle]

the name is NOT misleading. there are portals in the game

[fathom juniper]

1 is a schizo horror game

3 doesn't exist

and 4 is a mess

[mystic wave]

the portal and postal cinematic universe

[fathom juniper]

but 2?
2 is some of the funniest crap i've ever played

[hexed kindle]

if hades got a movie adaptation

[fathom juniper]

no

[hexed kindle]

i think tom holland could be melinoe

and tom cruise could he hades

and tobey maguire could be chronos

yeah that sounds good

[fathom juniper]

terry crews should be dusa

how fun would that be

[hexed kindle]

and seth rogen is skelly

of course

and then. chicken jockey

[fathom juniper]

helena bonham carter could play thanatos

she likes to play edgy gloomy characters

[lofty owl]

Daniel Radcliffe as Zagreus

[fathom juniper]

no no no

michael cera as zagreus

and daniel radcliffe as hypnos

just swap them around just for the hell of it

[hexed kindle]

and then. hear me out

this is a good one

I can't believe I cooked a casting this good

Nicolas Cage...as Nemesis

i know i know

it's genius

[fathom juniper]

HELL YEAH

pakc it up

hollywood is done

can't beat that

just make sure to cast the rock as hecate

[lofty owl]

Is there anyone scary enough to play Demeter?

[fathom juniper]

willem defoe

[hexed kindle]

danny devito

[fathom juniper]

OH MY GOD danny devito could totally play the fan shade

the red one

[mystic wave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98vqgBsoxQ

[fathom juniper]

JUDI DENCH!

oh she would be perfect

[signal kayak]

I was expecting cringe

[mystic wave]

Her voice was in mass effect btw

Admiral shala raan

[hexed kindle]

chat do yall like rpgs

i wanna play some more rpgs

thinking about playing dragon age origins or fallout new vegas

[ocean iris]

depends what kind

bethesda type rpg's or top down?

or really what kind because rpg nowadays can mean either baldur's gate 2 or fallout 4

[hexed kindle]

i like top down rpgs but for now I'm looking for something more fallout 4/bg3 adjacent yeah

I have a lot of top down rpgs on my backlog (pillars of eternity, divinity original sin 2) but that's something I'm saving for another time

[ocean iris]

hmmmm

wasteland 3 is a great one

and rogue trader if you like 40k

rn owlcat is owning the genre with more upcoming rpg's like one inspired by mass effect about the expanse, and another 40k one called dark heresy

[hexed kindle]

wait I said baldur's gate 3 but that's top down ain't it

oh well

anyway thanks for the recommendations, i'll look into rogue trader

i never played or watched or read anything warhammer 40k besides a few minutes of space marine 2 but it looked pretty interesting

[ocean iris]

rogue trader is more of a traditional rpg but it's great

you travel around the galaxy and gather a diverse cast of party members, even xenos, because as a rogue trader the imperium's rule is more lax

[hexed kindle]

i love galaxy themed games. my favorite rpg is mass effect

[ocean iris]

i also love mass effect

[elfin matrix]

once again, I ll try to ban bim while completing Battle network 3 white

[fathom juniper]

Bro I wasn’t even a part of this convo

I was in an escape room
Left my phone in the locker room

Made it out this time

Cool scenario too
Serial murderer kind of thing

[ocean iris]

finally trying out tiny tina's wonderlands

got it for free on epic games a looong time ago

you know i gotta turn the volume down

[fathom juniper]

Yeah set dialogue volume to 0

[ocean iris]

i had to accept 4 terms of services

jesus christ

[dense kindle]

you're getting so serviced

[ocean iris]

also damn these character models are BUTT ugly

[ocean iris]

to be fair the game itself looks great

[mystic wave]

Who dragged you over there

[woven breach]

My friend and I just beat Myst together

like...

our singular brailcells collided and we finished the game

make it an mp4 and it’s all good

[past bay]

Sometimes I think about getting Nine Sols. Then I remember that I am so very bad at anything timing/reaction based.

It looks so pretti tho

[thorny shoal]

isnt there an easy story mode

[past bay]

Is there? I could swear the last time I looked it up I only found a reference to something like a damage boost (similar to the Hades games' god mode)

I'm just like, if I'm not able to engage with the core mechanic what's the point

[thorny shoal]

yeah there's a story mode and a standard mode

[past bay]

IC.... to ponder

[dense kindle]

there is an easy mode, yeah

Nine Sols normal difficulty is very intense though

some of the bosses are harder than Sekiro

I just wish it had more bosses to chew on

[lofty owl]

Does it play quicker than FO2 Hades 1?

[echo hazel]

depends on the boss

the two first ones? piss easy. i don't even remember their names
the fengs and eigong? good luck 💀

[fathom juniper]

so...

yesterday i had the displeasure of playing RE9

i'm...
at this point convinced capcom has no idea wtf they're doing anymore - they're just winging it at this point and it somehow keeps selling

[rustic falcon]

it has a lot going on

but im fond of the characters

like at one point friend who was playing it and me who was watching it were like. why are we playing uncharted all of a sudden

[hexed kindle]

i really don't like re9

it's probably my least favorite re game. and i played them all except veronica and 0

[hearty yarrow]

Tbf isnt re a franchise where at some point someone punches a giant boulder

It has been uncharted before

https://tenor.com/view/rock-smash-angry-resident-evil-chris-gif-15977463

[mystic wave]

I has been since original re4

[hexed kindle]

it's just that re5 commits to the idea, it's an action game from start to finish

re9 wants to be alien isolation and uncharted at the same time and imo it does neither well

[mystic wave]

Btw you know that town where you walk around as grace and you looking for hotel? Are there places still like that in America in 2026? Idk Iver never been

Also all the people were wearing business suits or black and white clothes

[signal kayak]

One of the moments of all time

Screw terror, we can punch a boulder

[thorny shoal]

[clear python]

wait what does that mean lmao where do you waste money in wedding parties

my mate got married mid april and i was the best man so it was on me to organise a bachelors party

oooooh yeah i was just a simple guest there fortunately

[fathom juniper]

PVVK?
PVKK?

[dense kindle]

May:
-Subnautica 2 Early Access
-Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core Early Access
-007 First Light
-Dead as Disco

relatively light month

[fathom juniper]

AW CHRIST

[clear python]

what a month, huh?

[fathom juniper]

i thought 007 was next month

[fathom juniper]

feels like every month is like that this year

DEAD AS DISCO TOO!?

[dense kindle]

no confirmed release date

[fathom juniper]

why is everyone getting married in april and may?
why couldn't it be october or something

every damn year

i'm so broke lmao

[dense kindle]

I wonder if Delivery Must Complete will also release this year

[fathom juniper]

is that the untitled bot game... game?

the goose but robot?

[hexed kindle]

will this game be good?

oh sorry for the ping

[fathom juniper]

it better effin be

control 1 was this close 👌 to being a genuine 10/10
just fell short in a few aspects

and now they have a one in a lifetime chance of fixing it

[hexed kindle]

this one looks amazing because it's like

an action RPG?

[fathom juniper]

yeah

first time for remedy

[hexed kindle]

and it's also devil may cry inspired?

it looks amazing

[fathom juniper]

oh yeah

[hexed kindle]

i loved alan wake 2. it's one of my favorites of this generation

[fathom juniper]

it's DMC
Darling May Cry

https://tenor.com/view/casper-darling-control-darling-control-gif-15706272

[hexed kindle]

i hope Doctor Darling shows up in this game

idk if he's been in the trailers so far

[fathom juniper]

i haven't seen him

but come on - he's a fan favorite

he has to show up sooner or later

[hexed kindle]

he needs to be there

unfortunately Barry was completely absent from AW2

[fathom juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-casper-darling-control-dance-gif-24859348

[hexed kindle]

so you never know

unfortunately you never know

and somehow, Darling WAS in AW2

[fathom juniper]

wait
barry isn't in aw2?

wha-

[hexed kindle]

he's mentioned but he's not on it

[fathom juniper]

that sucks

[hexed kindle]

I think they make a meta joke about fans being dissapointed about Barry not being in the game

they're aware of it

[fathom juniper]

i liked him
him and his stupid orange jacket

but seriously though

if darling isn't in control 2
there will be riots

the game is gonna get review-bombed harder than STS2

which - btw
what the hell is up with that?

[hexed kindle]

i don't know. it seems people are going insane

i saw people saying it's just some gamers mad that their favorite build wasn't as broken anymore

which well. honestly who cares

aah review

[mystic wave]

Tidb why do you rate me 7/10......

[clear python]

miko you' always been a 11/10

[signal kayak]

Too much water

[hexed kindle]

this game changed my life. 6/10

[echo hazel]

they reworked and nerfed a bunch of things that were too strong and now the crybabies are mad they can't get free wins anymore

[hybrid jetty]

also worth noting the review bombing is coming almost entirely from china for some reason

like if you look at the recent reviews by language they're all 'mostly positive' except simplified chinese it's very strange

[lusty pendant]

you're talking about people who already were streaking max difficulties lmao

[lusty pendant]

Because the chinese side doesn't have easy access to most feedback channels thanks to the firewall, and especially after the official discord decided to shut down all the non-English channels a few days after EA release

[hybrid jetty]

that would make sense

[lusty pendant]

with the excuse that people are using them too much for chatting and too little for localization feedback, which is a blatantly untrue statement for the chinese language channels

They are aware that the in-game feedback option exists, but a lot of them are saying that the balance changes didn't address community feedback, so it feels like the only non-steam review feedback felt like sending messages into the void

Which I really can't get behind seeing how long hades 2 took to implement certain bug fixes

Another layer is that there's just a lot of chinese people compared to other regions, so the echo chamber effect is gonna be worse

Plus I don't think there's anything truly spectacular about the game in general that's enough to spur people to go out of their way to leave positive feedback

There's probably a big majority who played a little bit, thought it was decent and never left a review

something something vocal minority, something something people get worked up way too much about steam reviews

like how random ass villages in china have more people than american cities

[fathom juniper]

bruh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6zytK68NdM

[ocean iris]

steam reviews were a mistake

[hearty yarrow]

Those reviews never tell me anything either

They're too basic of a nothing burger

[hexed kindle]

everytime i check reviews they're complaining there's women in a game

[green scaffold]

Those are the other weirdos, yes

There is few types of them on internet

[signal kayak]

Those weirdos definitely need some time off the net and get off the ragebait addiction

Actually, scratch that, everybody should ignore ragebait altogether

[hearty yarrow]

Just spend less time online in general

Touch some grass meet some people

If you're able to ofc

[lusty pendant]

we're just gonna let the racism on twitter just fly here huh

I'm glad none of y'all cared about the explanation I wrote from reading stuff actually written by the players there in favor of broad strokes anyway

[signal kayak]

For the record, I was talking about the other weirdos, not about Chinese players
It's just as you said, they quite literally cannot leave proper feedback other than just a thumbs down, they can't do anything else, it's not their fault

[fathom juniper]

so - who's ready for the gabing controller tomorrow?

not my wallet, that's for sure!

[hearty yarrow]

I have a boatload of ds4s

I dont need controllers atm

I bought up like a bunch of em when they went out of production lmao

So I can just use those forever

[hexed kindle]

are we allowed to share screenshots here

here's my cyberpunk 2077 character

she's so short

[hearty yarrow]

I made mine more messed up over the run

Started like looking pretty clean ended up looking like a cybernetic tattooed chaotic mess

[lusty pendant]

Not targeted at you directly, but another double standard in this is when English-speaking people complained about Silksong being too difficult, the community mostly framed that as justified, even throwing out "accessibility" as a way to morally control the narrative

But when foreign people complain about the exact same things, suddenly it's because they are all whiny crybabies

There's many complaints that I've seen from the Chinese STS2 playerbase that use the exact same rhetoric as some very popular complaints in H2 feedback

[thorny shoal]

wait how did you do that

[lusty pendant]

and while I disagree with both its very telling that the latter never drew the same amount of vitriol

[hexed kindle]

it's the photo mode

[thorny shoal]

now how did you share a picture here

[hexed kindle]

i copy pasted the image's link

[thorny shoal]

oh

[lusty pendant]

<@&456908176877551658> it's very disappointing that this sort of casual racism is allowed to stay up

[digital fulcrum]

It depends on whether we’re told about it at the time

For the record, this sort of speech is not acceptable in the server. Please re-read the rules, which are listed in #readme-first if needed.

Fair enough

[green scaffold]

I mean, I looked up Steam review page and sorted by language so

Didn't want to sound/look rude

Anyway

[signal kayak]

May the 4th be with you!

[green scaffold]

There will be a big sale as per usual, so I can highly recommend Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor games if one seeks something good from SW

[austere wadi]

Is Handsome Jack the best video game villain of all-time? I'm struggling to immediately think of anyone else as good.

[fathom juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-boy-gif-24157752

[rustic falcon]

glados

[fathom juniper]

dang it lev

i was writing down a list and now i have to cross glados out

[thorny shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-a-dream-senator-armstrong-armstrong-senator-gif-26748816

i never played bl

[fathom juniper]

ffs AGAIN!?

[thorny shoal]

bim thinning down his list

[austere wadi]

Both are of those are definitely contenders.

If you haven't played Metal Gear Rising I very strongly recommend it.

[rustic falcon]

i also never played blands but handsome jack is one that i Know

[austere wadi]

2 is the best, honestly doesn't require a 1 playthrough.

[signal kayak]

Handsome Jack is definitely a very interesting villain

[fathom juniper]

slow down, guys

i'm going through my steam list

[signal kayak]

Sonic: You're too slow!

[fathom juniper]

and knuckles

[thorny shoal]

wesker

[signal kayak]

Ft. Dante from the Devil May Cry™ Series

[austere wadi]

Jim Carrey's Eggman is one of my film GOATs.

Does Vergil go on the list?

[signal kayak]

Back to Jack, without spoilers, he's the kinda guy that you really want to hate, but he's got the charisma and humor (and punchable face) to keep you reeled in

[fathom juniper]

glados, shodan, andrew ryan, bob page and walton simons, senator armstrong, the boss, treglazov, deathshead aaaaaand... that's all just from a quick scroll through my steam library

[signal kayak]

Highly recommend playing (or at least watching) The Pre-Sequel after Borderlands 2 for more context

[austere wadi]

"God, these pretzels suck."

[fathom juniper]

and i was still trying to limit myself to human villains so stuff like the WAU from soma wouldn't fly

[austere wadi]

Single entities.

[fathom juniper]

yeah - here's the thing about jack

almost none of that comes from the script

most of that charisma comes from improv and general performance

[austere wadi]

Full character, performance and all.

[fathom juniper]

dude literally pulls magic plot armor out of his ass, turns it off for the finale just for you to kill him
makes a magic one-hit kill gun and uses it once AND forgets what his own company is making

but hey - the buttstalion was funny!
when i was 16

[hexed kindle]

I like ||Illusive Man|| from Mass Effect 2

and Louis Guiabern from Metaphor ReFantazio

[rustic falcon]

i never finished hi fi rush but its fun

wait actually

ruvik from the evil within is awesome

[signal kayak]

"Would you kindly?"

[thorny shoal]

oh yeah gaunter o'dim was a cool villain

from witcher 3

[green scaffold]

Gonna throw in the obvious one too, Vaas from Far Cry 3. Which I say fits the type of "mid villian going super because of diabolical voice performance" like Jack

[fathom juniper]

of course!

how could i forget

[lofty owl]

Yoko Taro is the biggest villain in gaming

[fathom juniper]

that wasn't sarcastic, btw

[fathom juniper]

oh we're doing this now?

let me add another one

[green scaffold]

Does Joker from Batman games fit here? Technically it's an adaptation so

[fathom juniper]

the returning villain of the souls series
Mr. P. Swamp

P stands for Poison

[lofty owl]

Lord Gwyn for tragic accidental villain!

[green scaffold]

Todd Howard

[fathom juniper]

sixteen times the villainy

[lofty owl]

How 'bout Breen from HL2?

[fathom juniper]

eeeeh

[lofty owl]

Aw

[fathom juniper]

he's more of a villains hencheman than a proper villain, you know?

[hexed kindle]

there's not really a specific villain in cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty but I thought the antagonist there was amazing

[fathom juniper]

don't get me wrong - he's really well written

but it clear from early on he's not the one at the top, you know?

[hexed kindle]

i liked the antagonist in prey

even though I did not finish the game

[signal kayak]

Best villain is Hidetaka Miyazaki, look at all of those poisonous swamps, treacherous enemy placements and doors locked from the front
Obviously 😂

[fathom juniper]

🫴

pay up

[signal kayak]

(for legal reasons, this is a joke)

[hexed kindle]

uh i think the bad guy in chainsaw man is amazing. but that's not really a videogame is it

[fathom juniper]

that was my joke and i demand royalties

[signal kayak]

https://tenor.com/bMOUe.gif

[lofty owl]

Pretty sure Yoko Taro has caused 100x more pain than Hidetaka Miyazaki

[fathom juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-what-zoom-jeremy-clarksons-farm-what-are-you-talking-about-gif-22246675

it was a lot of pain to replay the same game to get the actual ending for sure

[signal kayak]

Ranni is typing i- oh, didn't make it in time :/

[lofty owl]

Bowser

But actually the 'dorf

Emet-Selch for da weebs

[thorny shoal]

emet-selch was cool

[clear python]

handsome jack would've been better if he wasnt in bl2 with the bl2 story. maybe i'm just not built for superhero stories

in other news, prey gets better as it goes on which is nice

(i can just shoot everything with my golden gun)

[green scaffold]

Tales from the Borderlands type?

[clear python]

idk havent played those

[green scaffold]

Oh what, you have to play it, that is straight up best Telltale game

It has Jack too, slight spoiler

[clear python]

unfortunately i've been burned by both 'choices matter' games and borderlands games so unlikely lmao

[hexed kindle]

i never played a borderlands game

[green scaffold]

You miss out on those peak Borderlands openings, and you get one every episode

[hexed kindle]

actually well. i did play 2 and 3 for like three hours each but I think that probably doesn't count

[fathom juniper]

oh yeah

tales from borderlands is some of the best telltale stuff out there

...as long as mr. i haven't played bl1 before writing bl2 doesn't highjack an episode

which is ep3 and parts of 5

[green scaffold]

[fathom juniper]

i'm still so salty about this

the only reason i'm not going all

he probably got motion sick from the 65° fov i dont blame him

[fathom juniper]

about this is because it's sunday and i have work early tomorrow

[fathom juniper]

oh come on, man

okay this might be a really fringe opinion, but

[green scaffold]

Just don't confuse Tales from the Borderlands with a New one...that one is...ughhhhh

[fathom juniper]

actually...
nevermind

[fathom juniper]

oh right
I forgot that came out

[hexed kindle]

i played most of these telltale style games except uh

the walking deads

because I never watched the movies

[fathom juniper]

the first two were good

[green scaffold]

If you think Borderlands 3 has bad writing, New Tales makes that stuff look like Shakespere

[fathom juniper]

oh christ

[green scaffold]

Man, TWD S1 is a must play in my book

[fathom juniper]

what?
did they write the script in windings?

did they make all actors speak simlish?

[green scaffold]

AND it's pretty much a standalone thing, so you don't have to watch/read TWD to get into it

[green scaffold]

Yeah I was amazed by that myself but apparently it is this bad

[hexed kindle]

i don't really like zombie games i guess

i like werewolves so I played the wolf among us

it was amazing

[fathom juniper]

HELL YEAH

[hexed kindle]

such an epic game

detectives. wolves. uhhh

what else did it had

[fathom juniper]

that freakin intro though

[hexed kindle]

pigs

[fathom juniper]

nonononono

[hexed kindle]

the menu itself is like

[fathom juniper]

bot i didn't mean that

[hexed kindle]

the menu is

it's such a stylish menu

it makes me feel like batman

and I never played batman either

[fathom juniper]

everything just oozes style

[green scaffold]

TWAU is my favourite Telltale game even if Borderlands is better , so good

Where is damn sequel

[fathom juniper]

https://youtu.be/QXOy8gcKApE?si=WSMjgM0nOYW9mJEg

[green scaffold]

[fathom juniper]

[green scaffold]

How long we have to endure that wait

[fathom juniper]

i feel like TWAU1 was a lighting in a bottle kind of a situation

even if by some miracle a sequel were to come out today

i really doubt it would have half the impact the first one did

[hexed kindle]

it's hilarious to me that the game ends on a cliffhanger yet we never got a sequel

[fathom juniper]

cries in half life 2

[hexed kindle]

well with half life we got alyx at least

even though it wasn't a sequel

it was half life

[fathom juniper]

oh don't get me started on HLA

oooohhhh

[signal kayak]

(plays Short Change Hero)

[thorny shoal]

TWAU2 soon

Very soon

For sure

[fathom juniper]

did you get surplus copium from silksongers for that post?

they obviously don't need it anymore

[thorny shoal]

I need something to believe in...

[clear python]

in prey you occasionally get hunted down by a special monster and you can either kill it (for a time) or evade it for 3 minutes, after which it despawns... locked myself in a safe security station but it just doesn't despawn

truly one of the game design decisions of all time

[mystic wave]

True friends do not despawn

[dense kindle]

been getting back into guilty gear strive

I'm stuck in Silver but this game is so much fun

the matches are really even so it's just us slugging it out with about the same level of skill

[fathom juniper]

aw christ

oh no, this is bad

it's... happening again

i'm getting the urge to play counter strike again

[green scaffold]

https://klipy.com/gifs/finger-guns-4--k01KQS064PF80VJV8XHZ7TTZKY6

[fathom juniper]

It’s an…
Abusive relationship

Every year I storm out angry, swearing that we’re done for good

And then I come back crawling the next year

[fathom juniper]

This… miserable, toxic, gambling machine full of slurs and cheaters and

Ugh

[fathom juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-eric-andre-eric-andre-show-nightmare-gif-25187817

Welcome to prey endgame

[ocean iris]

me with siege

[fathom juniper]

Wanna strike some counters with me?

We gotta fulfill our Slavic duty and rush B with p90s

[clear python]

that's already the endgame???? oh dear!

[fathom juniper]

Nah

It’s gonna get worse

I really don’t like the nightmare and I think it makes the game worse

I’m fine with the game throwing curveballs at players that go for op alien skills - it’s a nice tradeoff

[hexed kindle]

i'm playing a lot of overwatch lately

[fathom juniper]

You get a powerful skill
But the game gets harder

[hexed kindle]

i love overwatch

i also went back to playing hitman woa and that game is like. it's as good as videogames get

[fathom juniper]

But the nightmare is such a resource sponge (in a game where resource management is crucial) and so easy to hide from that every time it shows up I just have to take a mandatory 5 minute break in some janky corner of the map before they let me continue

Eh

[hexed kindle]

also, hot take: fortnite battlepass

[clear python]

yeah thats exactly what i'm thinking

[fathom juniper]

So yeah
For having the audacity of picking the coolest skills…

The game is gonna punish you with mandatory 5 minute breaks at random

Either that or pay up in resources 🫴

Although I think you can recycle him?

can’t remember if I’ve done that

Correction:

#video-games message

[ocean iris]

Dude, I only play counter strike for the drops

[fathom juniper]

You can totally recycle the nightmare

[clear python]

i'm doing a human-only run and it still appears lol

[mystic wave]

Are you human tidb

[clear python]

of course! that way, all my runs are human-only

[rustic falcon]

oh which characters do you play?

[fathom juniper]

Well apparently not

[rustic falcon]

i dont think nightmare appearing is endgame. its like, midgame

[fathom juniper]

Or maybe the nightmare just appears more often if you alienify yourself

I don’t remember anymore

[rustic falcon]

yep

[fathom juniper]

Yeah but my point is that for me by the end of the game it was just

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-eric-andre-eric-andre-show-nightmare-gif-25187817

[rustic falcon]

its a resource sink to you. to me and my fully upgraded margrave i am the nightmare

[fathom juniper]

He’s rare at first

Or you can just

[hexed kindle]

i'm a support main so it's mostly Juno, Wuyang and Lucio

[rustic falcon]

lets not spoil the end of the game to someone in the middle of it

[fathom juniper]

Hide in a corner for 5 minutes

[clear python]

me entering deep storage with my golden gun, only 10 bullets and a dream

[fathom juniper]

I’m not gonna waste precious resources on a thing that will still come back 20 minutes later

[hexed kindle]

i love Juno particularly though. Juno is the best

[rustic falcon]

got that wrench ready to go

[fathom juniper]

Or I can just wait

[rustic falcon]

i mostly play mercy because i like her

[fathom juniper]

It’s not much of a spoiler to say that a returning enemy…

Will in fact return

[rustic falcon]

but other supports i play are moira, juno and kiriko. i started playing more kiriko just to get more mileage out of the nier collab

[hexed kindle]

i'm trying to learn Kiriko as well because of how strong she is and i love her skills

also I got a pretty great skin for her in a loot box

[rustic falcon]

ngl ive been branching out to tank and i rlly like playing sigma even though i suck. i suck at dps too but the queue-all-roles demands its sacrifice

ohh which one

[mystic wave]

I'll have you know I passed all my turing tests type sentence

it was this one

[hexed kindle]

oh yeah initially i was a tank main and i pretty much only played D.VA

i even have her golden weapon

nowadays i prefer support though

[rustic falcon]

oh its a rlly cool one. i got the icon and the namecard for it from lootboxes but not the skin lol

[hexed kindle]

kiriko is so good though she can do pretty much anything

I'm having a lot of fun learning to play her

[rustic falcon]

lootboxes have been kind tho. ig when there are so many kiriko skins a lot of them are bound to show up lmao
other than that i have rainy day and streetwear from the battlepass, and 2B from the collab

they nerfed her a lot with reducing her teleport range but i wasnt an expert to begin with, sooo

if i die its my dps fault of course

[hexed kindle]

ohhh those are so amazing 😭

i keep getting Ashe skins even though I already spent money on her Cowboy Bebop skin

i'm so sad

[rustic falcon]

the more the merrier

[hexed kindle]

at least most of Ashe's skins are great anyway

[rustic falcon]

yea the one in the bp right now is amazing too

[hexed kindle]

i'm begging the universe for the street fighter collab to return 🙏

[rustic falcon]

i swap skins based on map or match colors when im in a group, so i get mileage out of all of them

[hexed kindle]

i need Chun-Li Juno and Juri Kiriko so much

[hexed kindle]

ohh yeah that's fair, i like having the halloween/christmas skins according to each season

[lost igloo]

Here @fathom juniper maybe this will make RE9 more playable for ya =p

unluckily for blizzard, they peaked with the winged victory skin

i think it was greek mythology themed

i think winged victory is why i started playing again

somehow

it was this one

not greek mythology themed i guess but i tried

[rustic falcon]

big fan of these

[rustic falcon]

ohh yea its a recolor but i rlly like it

[hexed kindle]

omg these are great

i barely play mercy but she has some of the best skins

i like that one in her doctor costume i think it's called Doctor Angela or something

[rustic falcon]

yeaaa

its so "plain" in a good way

[hexed kindle]

oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm also trying to learn Brigitte

i love Brigitte so much

she's a bit tough to learn though. I keep dying

[rustic falcon]

shes rlly strong dmg wise but probably rlly needs teamwork unlike lucio or something

or zen

[hexed kindle]

yeah i think lucio is still one of the strongest if not the strongest supports out there

he just heals so much and has so much mobility it's unmatched

[fathom juniper]

Hey @clear python
Have you tried recycling a human yet ?

In prey, I mean

Feel like I have to specify that

[clear python]

uh kinda

the fake cook recycled himself

[rustic falcon]

you can also do that if you throw a recycler at yourself. the result is exciting

save beforehand tho.

[clear python]

yeah the cook actually got me lmao but then i just backed out quickly

still got the achievement tho

[fathom juniper]

The recycler grenade is my favorite toy in the game

[clear python]

also i kinda regret putting any skills into turrets lmao, i don't know what kinda btd6 setups you'd need to make them work

[fathom juniper]

Yeah turrets are…

A distraction more than anything

Unless you find a janky spot where ayylmaos can’t reach it

[clear python]

yeah i dont get them at all

[fathom juniper]

Have you found the nerf gun yet?

[clear python]

they get taken out by a single shock phantom orb; yes i know you can upgrade them but that's more material and more neuromod investment; and even if you got some nice crossfire placement then what is your gameplay strategy? bait enemies and run back there? are there just for securing areas in the future when enemies come back? (for which they also don't work bc where are the enemies gonna be and they're wayyyy to fragile)

[clear python]

ofc, it's everywhere

[fathom juniper]

Nah
It’s literally just a distraction

Throw a turret, ayylmao goes for the turret, shoot ayylmao in the back while it’s busy

Well - “throw”

You know what I mean

[clear python]

i'm just tryna going more for the combat focus and surprise attack skills, i like those

[fathom juniper]

Get slow motion

Slow motion and upgraded pistol and shotgun

And just magdump everything

[clear python]

i mean pretty much

thats combat focus w/ dmg bonus, security dmg bonus, and i already got my upgraded golden gun

i do use the shotgun but idk, feels like you never get full dmg unless it's point blank and there's no precision upgrade

[fathom juniper]

I still like the shotgun

Looks nice, sounds nice, works…

Well it works

[clear python]

yeah but if it only does like 50 dmg when i'm 3m away; i could just use pistol

[fathom juniper]

Listen
I’m a doom fan

I don’t find shotguns that work like 12 gauge melee weapons weird

[clear python]

and all doom fans are deranged!

[rustic falcon]

nerf gun op
presses buttons, gets u into places, gets u out of places
distracts aliens that react to movement
lets you annoy others

[echo hazel]

i approve of this

[fathom juniper]

Now listen here you…

You’re right

I mean - hell - have you seen the thing I managed to bullcrap into gzdoom this weekend?

An actual proper projector that projects real time camera feed on level geo
And it’s uv mapped correctly and it’s got dynamic lighting and shadows and such

You gotta be kinda deranged to be doing this sort of thing to such an old game

[hearty yarrow]

Hmm what if I played league of legends again

I am never installing LOL ever again

[hearty yarrow]

I mean i play norms with bronze and silver friends plenty

Game's good and fun

Especially with friends

[elfin matrix]

I am toxic As *****

[hearty yarrow]

Ye then it is a you problem

[elfin matrix]

Get battle network Vol 1 on steam and help me there instead

100% BN 3 is ridiculous...You can't do it by yourself.

[faint hollow]

roguelikes or roguelites? I usually don't like the former either

[elfin matrix]

both

the genre is the bane of my existence

Many "Megaman look alike games" oh neat....has rogue like tag

[echo hazel]

I think I know what u did there

100% star force legacy collection, easy and not that time consuming thanks to all the QoL

who though it was a good idea to get 1 Giga chip by doing Pvp in BN 3? It was impossible to find people to play that game as a kid

[hearty yarrow]

I probably did at some point

A lot of how I type is just mixes of how my friends do

[elfin matrix]

Ye

[hearty yarrow]

[thorny shoal]

you can do it a lot of act 2 fights can be pretty rough

and let's not talk about the decimilipede

[hexed kindle]

i never played a roguelike

[fathom juniper]

I don’t even know what are you talking about

[thorny shoal]

hades?

[hexed kindle]

i thought that was considered a roguelite

[thorny shoal]

oh there's a difference but nowadays I assume everyone uses roguelike to mean roguelite

[faint hollow]

omg I hate that thing

[hexed kindle]

since today is may the 4th i should play a star wars games

i wonder which though

[thorny shoal]

if I have no AOE solution i kind of avoid elites in the act, if possible

specifically because of that one fight

[faint hollow]

I've been trying to fight at least one elite per act for the relics (kinda like how I approached hades 2 minibosses)

but yeah some of them are rough

I will win though!

[thorny shoal]

that's a good approach, relics are really strong in this game

[fathom juniper]

goodbye, frens

[dense kindle]

steam controller is out yippie

[elfin matrix]

I never know what the heck u talking about here either

[fathom juniper]

neither do i

[fathom juniper]

freakin... counter strike

how does a game so sweaty and toxic have guns that are this fun to use?

a genuine enigma, this game is

wrapped in a conundrum

[lofty owl]

Video games more like mideo lames amirite

WHAT THE HELL!?

it's been less than three hours!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[green scaffold]

420 pierogies for mid controller? Christ people are dumb

[fathom juniper]

yeah it's a bit on an expensive side, sure

but if you compare it to xbox or ps5 controllers with paddles

it suddenly starts looking like a pretty decent deal

also - i love the steam deck trackpads and sticks and this has those too
i really wanted to get it, but i guess that's not gonna happen anytime soon

[green scaffold]

Nope, sorry but nothing will convince me

Good on you if you are into it though

Minus the "not available" part

[fathom juniper]

yeah

but then again - it's 420 pierogi bucks in a world in which a can of bepis is getting close to costing 5

so

[signal kayak]

It sold out in about half an hour, already scalped to hell

But allegedly, Valve is releasing it in waves to fend off scalpers (how?)

[fathom juniper]

i clipped mission impossible 7 just for posts like this one

hang on wrong link

https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxYnE7m1J1U014mYIl6mcjM9u_PS1m2FcF

[dense kindle]

it sold out in 30 minutes, yeah

I was there for launch hour

it restocked for like 4 minutes after about 15 minutes

and then it restocked again for a couple minutes
