tried Dead Island 2 today, it's the most AA game I've played in a while and I kinda miss them.

[sacred snow]

It looks really good but i feel like its the haha quirky characters that gave people a bad taste back then

[hoary harbor]

Sometimes braindead fun is all I want

[random skiff]

Honestly, most of the time you are on your own with no one to talk to (unless you're playing CoOp) and there's none of the forced quirk.

Although I kinda don't mind the quirky stuff as long as it's balanced. And most of them do die so

[sacred snow]

I cant talk into details here cuz rules but the uh…violent red stuff is really impressive

[random skiff]

Gore shouldn't trigger it.

there we go.

locational damage is fantastic. I hit a zombie in the knees and then he was stuck behind a row of crates because he couldn't stand up.

[sacred snow]

Im pretty sure at one point you run into this fat zombie guy with his belly opened wide up and you can physically see his innards and thats a lot of effort for that one niche archetype thats suppose to be a reference to a rapper iirc

[hoary harbor]

I really love dying light which is similar but a little less goofy

[random skiff]

Dying Light 2 is great, I went through the campaign a while back and the story was...okay the gameplay was good. The time trials are something I actively finished.

[hoary harbor]

I heard bad things on launch but apparently they've gone and fixed it up

[random skiff]

No idea about that, but my only issue's with the game was the story itself, and some of the new game+ stuff.

[sacred snow]

I wanna see a zombie game that takes place during the outbreak with people and chaos and shit

Think world war z movie opening with Brad Pitt running away from NYC

[random skiff]

If you want the best "showing the chaos" opening to a zombie movie, what's gotta be it is the Snyder remake of the Romero Dawn of the Dead.
WWZ is fine for hollywood I guess, but the mindless aspect was never done beftter than that.

Although as a major fan of the WWZ book, I do hate that movie with a passion.

[sacred snow]

I saw the Snyder one and honestly it peaked at the opening

After that it went downhill,like it just jumps off a cliff

[random skiff]

Actually you know what, let's be classy. Go read the WWZ book, it's amazing.

[sacred snow]

I read some of it online thru cuts and video essays

I still like the wwz movie but i can understand why book fans hate it

[random skiff]

The entire thing is worth a read, especially with the pace it gives you throughout.
your local Library should have a copy, mine did.

it's also not all that long.

[hoary harbor]

Last thing I read was a streetcar named desire

[random skiff]

This is...very different.
Think of it as a series of interviews.

although the hotel one genuinely might make it hard to sleep.

[sacred snow]

the US army bringing tanks into a city to fight zombies is the most American thing ever

[hoary harbor]

I've never understood how the armed forces get overrun in all the zombie media

[sacred snow]

Plot reasons

wwz sorta does that trope but they go in depth into it and later on the army did crush the undead

The walking dead outbreak has to be the dumbest thing ever

[hoary harbor]

That was what came to mind

They're slow as shit

[random skiff]

If you read the book it actually does an amazing job at showing how it happens.

what panic does to the average person.

[sacred snow]

Even if TWD universe has no concept of what a zombie is,you dont bring riot shields out to fight cannibals

[hoary harbor]

Do they run really really fast and co ordinate and allat in the book too

[sacred snow]

Like if i ever see a bunch of cannibals wanting to devour me im absolutely blasting them

I once read something that explains TWD outbreak

[hoary harbor]

Probably something to do with saving bullets or some such

[hoary harbor]

I heard kirkman said it was from space or something

[sacred snow]

The original author basically implied that the undead are smart and knows how to catch humans by surprises

Like that one guy who stood a bit too close to the vents and literally gets amogused

The zombie,pulled an adult,into the vents

[random skiff]

Considering...world history....look this is getting too close to reality. But just saying "I'd shoot them if they got close" means you are 100% going to end up like the Marines in Aliens.

[sacred snow]

Shoot them from afar

[random skiff]

It's easy to be calm when the world around you is calm.

panic does bad things to the human brain.

[sacred snow]

The army trained soldiers to aim for center mass because its the most effective against live combatants

Zombies don’t have that kind of weakness

Thats how its explained.
But like literally no one aimed for the head?kinda bs

[hoary harbor]

Wouldn't they have figured out early on that center mass doesn't work

[random skiff]

In the show they literally firebomb the city, what does that have to do with guns?

[sacred snow]

Its like idk,i dont think it should be that hard to figure out the whole “aim head”

[random skiff]

I'm glad zombies aren't real, because you would 100% be one.

[sacred snow]

Tbh i would probably be

It entirely depends on what type of zombie it is

And i was referring to the part that explains why army can’t kill them with guns.
Either that or im literally mistaking the center mass lore with something else

My favorite part is when 2 cops and a bunch of people who probably have never touched guns in their lite handles the zombie way better than trained soldiers

[hoary harbor]

28 days later and we're all gone

[random skiff]

Read the book and stop talking about how cool you are, please.

[sacred snow]

I watched the show so like

Thats where my interpretation is coming from

The book is probably better idk

The show was meh

[random skiff]

Except for Stardust, the book is always better.

[hoary harbor]

I stopped watching around s4

[random skiff]

oh TWD? Season 1 was amazing, post that and its just kinda "more".
although I did like seeing David Morissey.

[sacred snow]

Idk what Stardust is but a quick google search shows a 6.5 on imdb
Yea the book definitely beats it

[random skiff]

You are such a zoomer.

[sacred snow]

I can definitely say the maze runner books are better than the movie tho

[sacred snow]

Ok boomer

[random skiff]

Millennial actually.

[sacred snow]

Close enough for a wild guess

[hoary harbor]

I share the sentiment of s1 being really good then everything else being more

[sacred snow]

Like the first movie is great

The later ones bored me so much

[hoary harbor]

But yeah the governor was nice

[random skiff]

I do like it when British actors play american and no one knows.

[hoary harbor]

I only remember him from that one doctor who special

[sacred snow]

Also my latest experience with the walking dead was the uh

The ps2 game

[hoary harbor]

Twd games have the worst track record

[sacred snow]

The one where you can make Shane win

[hoary harbor]

Except telltales that shits excellent

[random skiff]

ps2 game?

[hoary harbor]

Ohh destinies

Didn't they can development on that already

[sacred snow]

erm actually its a joke about how TWD Destinies look like a ps2 era game

[random skiff]

As someone who was around then, it does not.

[sacred snow]

What is left to develop lmao

[hoary harbor]

Idk people wanted more content

And less jank

The concept of being able to change the events of the show is interesting but the execution was really something

[sacred snow]

i like the part where Shane kills Rick by camping behind a truck shooting a shotgun at him for 5 minutes straight

[random skiff]

No matter what they do, no TWD game will be worse than the one that almost ruined a dev and publisher, got someone raided by the federal cops, and restructured an entire company.

Overkill's TWD.

[hoary harbor]

My understanding of what happened with that game is really hazy

All I know is game bad

[random skiff]

I was a pd2 vet from early days, I was there.

still annoyed at that bat.

[sacred snow]

how was it THAT bad lol i never heard of that

[random skiff]

It didn't really exist. sorta.

[hoary harbor]

It never came?

I do remember that one trailer with that guy sat in the car and thought it was promising

[random skiff]

Well it did but it didn't.

[sacred snow]

lemme guess
is it something they scrambled at the last minute like Anthem

[random skiff]

Nope, took years.

[sacred snow]

3 types

dev hell?

[random skiff]

The company that owns TWD licence pulled it, so the game no longer exists.

Think "Deadpool game" but forever.

[hoary harbor]

Was it online only or something

[random skiff]

As in, it can no longer be legally sold.

[hoary harbor]

Ohhh

[random skiff]

copies had to be destroyed IIRC.

[hoary harbor]

Woah so not even just pulled from storefronts?

[sacred snow]

i think i see where this is going

but ill reserve my predictions i guess

[random skiff]

Around the time of the release, the equivalent of the swedish FBI raided their offices, some allegations of fraud or other.

It's an interesting story. You should look into it.

[hoary harbor]

Well that escalated quickly

I just read it up and apparently overkill/starbreeze sort of went under for some time

[random skiff]

Big time, CEO change up, they sold themselves to someone else, etc.

That was the same time that pd2 promised to stop selling more DLC, then suddenly ramped up the sales of new DLC because it was the only revenue they were getting.

[sacred snow]

so from what i looked up in 5 minutes apparently the physical version's launch got canned in the last minute

[random skiff]

I hope Microsoft just buys them like everyone else and we can get a proper payday out of it.

[sacred snow]

and the literal last minute as in all stores like gamestop had to pull of the marketing out 1-2 days before "launch"

[hoary harbor]

I played a bit of 3 but the heists are lacking

[random skiff]

There's under 300 people online in 3.

meanwhile Darktide has a queue.

[hoary harbor]

Goddamn I knew it fell off but I didn't know it fell off that hard

[random skiff]

It is the one upside of mass corporate ownership.

[sacred snow]

the horrendous launch killed pd3 didn't it

[hoary harbor]

Curious to see if they'll be any better than Activision when it comes to cod

[random skiff]

Hard to be worse.

[hoary harbor]

True that

[sacred snow]

only way to know is to see if this year's call of duty is another blatant cash grab

[random skiff]

it didn't help, but the problems were there before.

[sacred snow]

its the first year without ATVI well,directly controlling it

[hoary harbor]

This year is 3arcs turn right

[sacred snow]

bingo

rumors say they were cooking up a sequel to cold war i think

black ops gulf war or something

[hoary harbor]

Well I quite liked black ops cold war

[sacred snow]

same

[hoary harbor]

I imagine if they actually had time to develop it properly they could out out something real good

[sacred snow]

i really hate how sledgehammer was forced into making mw2 dlc

sorry i mean mw2023 or whatever

[hoary harbor]

Cold war was rushed as shit and it still came out fun

It's mw2.1

[sacred snow]

like at one point there were internal leaks that said something like

[hoary harbor]

Not worth 70 dollars whatsoever

[sacred snow]

the multiplayer being a total mess is because of IW being bad at their job

SHG was making advanced warfare 2

oh sorry,they "proposed" it

[hoary harbor]

I don't think SHG are bad devs it's probably just IW imposing their shit on them

[sacred snow]

real

[hoary harbor]

Advanced warfare was pretty good

[sacred snow]

like if current mw2023 pvp is made by SHG then i gotta say

its pretty good

none of that IW bullshit since 2019

[hoary harbor]

Me personally I wish they'd taken a leaf from infinite warfare when making campaigns down the line

[sacred snow]

i think whoever wrote these stories are just really really dumb

like call of duty has always been dumb but its like extra cheesy dumb with a bit of genuine incompetence

[hoary harbor]

This year's one was somehow worse than vanguard

[sacred snow]

mw reboot is comparable to a brainless action movie you'd see in summer that stars the Rock or Jason Statham in it

its cool and flashy but forgettable

like that one movie last year that got a bunch of action stars from the last decade or something and fucking Chuck Norris

[hoary harbor]

The expendables comes to mind

[sacred snow]

the only one i think that is barely passable is 2019 imo

[hoary harbor]

I liked 2019 but I can't speak for the multiplayer or spec ops

[sacred snow]

its generic,wannabe gritty and grey morals that eventually boils down to "US gud Russia bad"
(that didn't age well tbf)

but its fine

2022 had like a decent start and it just goes straight down the gutter halfway through

[hoary harbor]

Alone saved it for me just barely

[sacred snow]

like they just had to make a shadow company betrayal scene to parallel the original mw2

but it didn't work and literally kills the entire story for me

[hoary harbor]

Here I was hoping they'd actually make shadow interesting and give them some depth

[sacred snow]

doesn't help that Graves is literally the most likeable character since

uh,2017?

yea after infinite warfare

[hoary harbor]

I really like graves and they even fumble him too

Infinite warfare had Ethan my beloved

[sacred snow]

you have uh
Shampoo
edgelord Ghost
Price is ok but he was kinda a blank character
Gaz had some moments

ah yea the Mexican guy was pretty cool too

but its one of those things where the parts are better than the sums

i still cant fucking believe they said Ghost team like i was crying from cringe

[hoary harbor]

The gameplay was interesting bar the obligatory gunship level and the characters definitely had potential

But the writing was absolutely atrocious

[sacred snow]

like sure there are bad writings that i can overlook in video games cough cough destiny

but mw2 reboot screams wasted potential

the one campaign i like the most for the couple recent games has to be cold war

its good and im convinced people didn't like it only because muh no Mason and Woods og voice

the multiple endings thing it did was kinda cool,albeit just a slideshow

but it should've been explored more beyond just dialogue options

[hoary harbor]

For sure cold war

The choices weren't as significant as bo2 but it's definitely neat they were there

Also I just really liked the setting

Also the takedowns and body shields were neat

I really enjoyed killing Adler after getting the good ending

But then realized it was probably a good idea to shoot me

[sacred snow]

they did me dirty tho

as soon as i got that ending i speedrun the "bad" ending where you live and become a Soviet hero

(disclaimer:this does not represent my political view)

[hoary harbor]

Like the bad ending from bells POV is like the best ending

Reunite with your bros and kill the dons that brainwashed you and had you do their bidding

[sacred snow]

i mean they let Mason live despite bo1 ending literally implying that he killed JFK

the good and bad ending sorta shows you how there's no true "good" sides,at least within that story

you can be the "good guys" and still get the short end of the stick even after all you've done

[hoary harbor]

Yeah

[sacred snow]

like its the unintentional grey layer of morality there that makes the story stand out

its not perfect but i dare say its better than whatever the reboot mw crap is

cuz its ok for Price to literally use children as leverages but its bad when THE ENEMY does it

[hoary harbor]

West good Russia bad

[sacred snow]

Call of Duty™️

like even bo1 had the little grey morality layer with Reznov and shit,it proves that cod can be pro America and not outright bullshit all the time

[hoary harbor]

I miss when it wasn't 20 dollar bundles and charging 70 dollars for dlc

Actually good writing and well designed UI and allat

[sacred snow]

also real

cod is not 70 bucks material

[hoary harbor]

Mw2 was actually the only one I bought at retail cuz I came late to all the older ones when they were all on sale and all

Never again

[sacred snow]

by the sound of it you mean the reboot

[hoary harbor]

Literally don't know why I thought they'd actually do that two year cycle

[hoary harbor]

Yeah 2022

[sacred snow]

to be fair it was the plan

but Bobby wanted a fat check as the golden parachute

[hoary harbor]

Don't they make enough money from everyone buying those damn bundles

[sacred snow]

mw2 dlc was originally going to explore more into the Mexico plotline,a bunch of maps on release and actual year 2 support

[sacred snow]

there is no such thing as enough when it comes to money unfortunately

[hoary harbor]

😔

[sacred snow]

i was binge watching this video about overkills twd

the moment the narrator says that the devs take inspiration from destiny it all came down

[hoary harbor]

What could they possibly have gotten from destiny and put into a twd game

[sacred snow]

it says here that they "take inspiration from destiny to emphasize the importance of player coordination"

ofc i just used destiny as a punching bag for haha game bad but this quote leads to another massive dev problem where the lead dev has no idea what to shape their game around

like one day he would tell them to "make it like division",the next day its dying light,then far cry,the list goes on and on and the devs have no real vision on what the fuck are they making cuz the vision is being shaped based on the latest game that the creative director played

[hoary harbor]

What was even their vision

[hoary harbor]

Yikes

[sacred snow]

the game had a bunch of bullshido happening to it such as a game engine change that rendered 2 years worth of work useless,only 10% of starbreeze actually knew how to make games using UE4 which is what they switched to,no coherent visions from the producers all the while upper management thinks that the devs can just learn ue4 in like one afternoon apparently

also there's this quirky thing where management would lie to the devs about the feedbacks

after the press played the demo at e3 2018(dang i miss e3 already) they had..."mixed" receptions

[hoary harbor]

This is shaping up to be a real disaster

[sacred snow]

when told about this by the devs upper management told them to "ignore negative criticisms"

[sacred snow]

correction:it became a disaster

[hoary harbor]

Bruh

[sacred snow]

in the months leading to launch devs had to crunch the game by working overtime and even in weekends,some hitting 100 hours of work in a single week

[hoary harbor]

Yikessss

[cyan lake]

How's the weather for you agents?

[sacred snow]

the game was so bad starbreeze got their contract terminated,and were effectively forced to shut down development and pulled the game from steam after like...roughly 6 months since launch

[sacred snow]

its pretty chill here

[hoary harbor]

Wet and miserable

[hoary harbor]

And then I assume they went all in on pd2

[cyan lake]

Is it about PD3 here?

[sacred snow]

ever heard about overkills the walking dead?

[sacred snow]

the video im watching mostly concentrates on starbreeze so im not sure

[cyan lake]

Didn't know they had a TWD here cause the only TWD I knew was the telltale one and the show here

[sacred snow]

yea there's a reason you've never heard of it

[cyan lake]

I mean telltale cooked with twd here and Lee and Kenny will always be the best dad's

[sacred snow]

but yes this is true

its pretty wack actually,starbreeze technically acquire overkill but because of their financials overkills eventually assimilates starbreeze

ahhh yes the classic "incompetent CEO blames everything bad on the people he enslaved"

[hoary harbor]

Of course💀

[sacred snow]

the best part is that CEOs still blame the developers for their misfortune

not just in this case,across ALL gaming studio/corpo

like what,did you think that the guy at bungie took the blame when it comes to poor sales and player retention?
no he fired half of the studio so he can still get his bonuses

also when asked about if upper management took any responsibilities they said "we're not that kind of studio"

[hoary harbor]

Bruh

[storm meadow]

Hi agents ! 🫡

[sacred snow]

about this:https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-devs-say-atmosphere-is-soul-crushing-amid-layoffs-cuts-and-fear-of-total-sony-takeover
"...Employees in one department recalled a post-layoffs Q&A session where a department head was asked if leadership taking salary cuts to prevent layoffs had been considered, only to respond that Bungie was “not that type of company..."

[frozen sparrow]

or Raid WW2

[sacred snow]

You managed to one up me again

Classic kirby

[frozen sparrow]

we shit on the biggest publishers all the time and rightfully so but Overkill/Starbreeze may just be the most impressively consistent f__kups
Raid WW2, TWD, safes in Payday 2, Payday 2 update quality in 2018 and onwards, going back to making Payday 2 DLC to make back cash, Payday 3 launch, StarVR

can’t forget the insider trading and police raid

H3H3 and Goat Sim DLCs… fuckin Airbow lmao

[sacred snow]

Whats wrong with the h3h3 collab

[fiery ravine]

he's a shell of his former self.

[sacred snow]

Everyone is one way or another so you’ll have to be specific

[frozen sparrow]

dm’d u

[fiery ravine]

Ok let me simplify it for you, he's nothing like his former self, when he was introduced to payday 2 he actually stood for something, he was an idol on YT, before he went full hollywood sellout.

I know most of the h3 lore because I used to battle with the loser when he started his grift.

back during the leafy days he was cool, now he's done a complete 180 and I'll forever hold that over his self reightous head, like the FUPA fund he pocketed and never used to help other creators on YT like he said he would. he's just a fraud. he should've been removed from payday 2 when he started his hollywood PG-13 grift.

you should ask in the LFG (Looking for group) channels.

[reef pilot]

K

[loud hatch]

Exactly why I stopped playing destiny 2

2700 hours into the game and I can officially say I'm not touching it at all

Even their new up coming game, just not worth it

[sacred snow]

Im actually glad that people are dogpiling on the new rocksteady live service game that i cant say the name cuz filter

[hoary harbor]

They released that already?

[analog shadow]

Next month on the second

[sacred snow]

i love it when youtube with adblock devours my cpu performance and sending my mid tier laptop back to 2014

they cant do that legally right

i mean like even if its illegal then i cant really complain cuz adblocking is breaking tos

[hoary harbor]

I just use some other client I forget the name

[supple marsh]

I'm pretty sure its just adblock plus which you really shouldn't be using anyways

[random skiff]

Yep! uBlock Origin is the good one, adblock plus allows in "select adverts". which really does defeat the point.

also, don't use Chrome anymore. Google burned their bridges with this move.
Join the good side, go back to Firefox.

[light fog]

how can you get the old ubisoft Connect launcher back, i dont like the new one at all and its still in beta (never choose the new one)

[supple marsh]

if you're in canada you're unable to but there should be a button that says beta/standard that you can click on to change back

[sour moon]

Of course -2°C and seemingly no buses arriving

At least it's here now

[sacred snow]

i like edge

like it looks nice and it doesn't obliterate your RAM

copilot W too

[random skiff]

Firefox has the benefit of not being run by monsters, so that's nice.

More importantly, it does what I need my browser to do with less hassle than the alternatives, and isn't run on Chromium, which rules out the bulk of the other options.

[modest pebble]

i just use chrome

i could careless who runs it or whatever bad choices they make. chrome UI good. I find a lot of people purposely find reasons to hate a browser that are so wildly irrelevant to them

like people hating Opera GX for tracking activity whilst knowing using many other apps that do the exact same

[random skiff]

It's important to vote with your wallet, and even with "free" programs it matters as much, if not more.
I don't like either of those browsers so I choose not to use them. Some people seem to have a problem with that but that's on them.

Mozilla also runs a foundation specifically for keeping the internet open, and the more it becomes privatised, the more important that is.

[light fog]

nop not anymore for some reason they pushed it to EU aswell

[storm meadow]

Good evening agents ! 🫡

[jaunty pebble]

@rain dove You got any recommendations for switches? I regret buying it, I only got it because I previously used a keyboard with it and I liked it but it sounds horrible after few months of use

[rain dove]

Do you want linear clicky or tactile

For a comparison, browns are as linear as tactiles get

[jaunty pebble]

I like brown switches

I don't like linear (red) switches

Don't like blue (clicky) ones either

[rain dove]

Do you want a more tactile switch

Or a similar feel

[jaunty pebble]

I like the one I have now it just sounds horrible

[rain dove]

T1 lights

That's what u want

Durock T1 lights

[jaunty pebble]

Thanks I'll check it out

[jaunty pebble]

Is this the one you're referring to?

Out of stock lol but I think they have it on Aliexpress, is it this one?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000516501026.html

Palworlds has me addicted

[sturdy igloo]

Division needs to add Pokemon into the next game

[abstract yarrow]

Hey need some clarification on something, used to be apart of the fan made division discord, got banned for "cringe bio" or something and haven't gotten a word from admins. Anyone know why?

[random skiff]

Your bio makes a direct terrorist joke, I've honestly got to say that I'm surprised it's only one server you're banned from.

[narrow mortar]

Ngl, I both like and hate the fan-made division reddit sometimes

[random skiff]

I think they're referring to the community server, the other big one.
I've not touched the subreddit in years but it was a bit of a mess back in 2018 I can tell you that.

[narrow mortar]

Yeah, i was scrolling it out of boredom and there was a post of someone apologizing on the subreddit and people were clowning on him.

[random skiff]

Fan communities are always a bit of a mixed bag. They've got to balance out the extreme fans with the newbies and most tend to lead towards the former, even though the latter help it to grow way more.

[narrow mortar]

True

[shy vine]

why

[rocky cove]

@shy vine yes to your question

[shy vine]

whats your personal choice for edc?

i personally carry a glock 20, easy to conceal with a jm custom kydex holster

[rocky cove]

.45 or 9.

[shy vine]

i mix my mags with 180gr xtp and 140gr xtreme penetrator.

yea i got bored of 9, it just punches tiny holes and doesnt do anything exciting and i got bored of seeing videos of LE magdump dudes that would charge them with intent to harm and it just did nothing to them

and the minimal recoil does nothing for me.

45 acp is just a boomer round too, big and heavy with not a lot of energy behind it, 45 acp wishes it could be what 10mm is big and heavy but also fast

[rocky cove]

mp45 for normal, shield plus 9 for nonpermissive/formal , czp10f 9 sometimes but not often

[shy vine]

love cz

[rocky cove]

i woulda got the c but wasnt avail in my area at the time. cant argue with 19+1 tho 😆

[rocky cove]

i want to get the mp10 tho as it has better capacity with about the same form factor

[shy vine]

the capacity is nice but when you can have a glock 20 with kriss's mag extensions making it 30+1 rounds of 10mm auto on tap how can you beat that

[shy vine]

yea 45 and 10mm handguns are the same exact size

big bulky heavy.

[rocky cove]

gotta be a pants dragger at 30+ though 🍻

[shy vine]

LMAO no ones concealing a 30+1 mag

[rocky cove]

no definiteely not concealing the mag

[shy vine]

im heading to bed chat more later bro

[rocky cove]

tc

[verbal trout]

Let's be real, who even reads the bio and/or takes it serious on Discord

[rocky cove]

Person with the "banned bio " just posting because their dumb bio didnt generate any pushback and they want attention. Probably not even banned anywhere 💯

[verbal trout]

Let him cook. Or dream 😢

I remember my brother once had something stupid about being an assman, but it was an obscure word for it, so you had to Google it.
Having consulted him, it was adonitologist.
That's around the time I decided to stop reading Discord bios

[cyan lake]

Man I wanna see some john wick guns in the game here

[hoary harbor]

I mean there's a ksg

And the usual selection of M4 and 1911s

Plenty of guns to choose from

[modest pebble]

the disrepsected the m4 by making it semi only

why even call it an M4 if it doesnt have FA lol

just call it an AR15

then the police m4 has FA lmao when patrol rifles 99% of the time are AR15's.

[modest pebble]

I dont think there gonna add the TT 2011's

given that companies past CEO's endeavours

[stuck glen]

while server is down, how bout kill your time with a better pokemon game

PALWORLD

a game where you gonna become the boss and enslave every single pokemon (including ppl)

[hoary harbor]

I've been grinding invasions on MK1

[fading lily]

There's more than a good handful I don't even touch. Deep down, I just want the FA LVOA back.

[shy vine]

ar15's and m4's are the same exact rifle. an ar15 is usually standardized by being 16" in barrel length to start where as an m4 is 12.5 or 14.5 in barrel length. the only thing that can make either of them full auto is the sear inside the lower receiver. an m4 does not have to be full auto to make it an m4. this is not disrespecting the m4 by making it semi auto only.

they only created the m4a1 to have a short barreled rifle for more urban environments. otherwise its all the same shit plus or minus a sear

[modest pebble]

I’m aware. It’s stupid to have 2 m4’s with 1 being semi only and the other being FA. Just call one an ar15 and the other an m4. And yea the difference between the 2 is the sear so calling an M4 that is semi only is essentially an ar15 lol

[shy vine]

semi automatic m4's exist dude.

not all m4's are full auto. being full auto isnt what makes it an m4

[modest pebble]

Yes they do. Does that change the fact that having 2 m4 models in the game when there’s a distinction in the game is stupid. Not really.

[shy vine]

Whats stupid is you complain about this. In real life would you expect every single M4 you pick up in a survival situation to be full auto? No. So therefore why is it dumb to have differing ones? That matches realistic scenarios

[modest pebble]

And the LW m4 looks be 20” in game. Even more reason to just call it an ar15 lol

[shy vine]

hate to break it to ya bud but it literally is two takedown pins and you can swap any upper with any barrel length

your complaints are literally dumb imo

[modest pebble]

Patrol rifles aren’t FA. Police m4 then realistically makes no sense either. Having a basic distinction between the 2 even if it doesn’t agree with reality isn’t something unreasonable

[shy vine]

people who make complaints about guns in video games need to actually take time to educate themselves and train with firearms irl before making complaints otherwise we end up with airsoft simulators like battlefield and cod

[modest pebble]

You mentioned standardization before. I mention it again now it’s invalid

[modest pebble]

Asking to call what is in all purposes of the game a 20” semi auto m4 an AR15 doesn’t make anything an airsoft battleground

It’s naming. Your taking it way too seriously

I don’t even know how naming a gun something would turn anything into an airsoft battleground. Where did that even come from

Nor is division a realistic game. NPC’s tank so many shots Div 2 is closer to airsoft then battle field lmao

[frozen sparrow]

uh yea i’m fairly sure you would

[modest pebble]

No man the patrol rifles would be FA and the military grade ones would all be semi

That’s very realistic

I literally just made a comment on how calling 1 a LW m4 but making it semi locked and calling another a police m4 that is FA is kinda silly when ar15 is pretty widely used as a semi only m4 lol

[light mauve]

Can someone pls explain to me what "lfg" means? (I'm not a native english speaker)

[random skiff]

"looking for game" or "looking for group".
basically it means you want to find a team to play with.

[light mauve]

Thanks

[cyan lake]

I mean I would've loved to see the AR John wick used to defend the continental against the high table elite soldiers here at least

[modest pebble]

oh HK416

or are you talking about the PCC

[shy vine]

the taran tactical tr1 ultralight?

he used that and a sig mpx

[modest pebble]

an actual 416 in div would be cool

[sacred snow]

i blame the feds for the semi auto lwm4

[modest pebble]

I dont even understand why they would bring the lwm4 from td1 then make it shit lol

[hoary harbor]

To sike all the div1 fans

[modest pebble]

why disrespect the m4 like this

[hoary harbor]

Ruin the two most popular guns

M700 carbon making a comeback tho

[modest pebble]

ig the cloest thing we have to div 1 m4 is 416 now

now being after TU

[sacred snow]

p416 still kinda sucks ass so nah

the days of lvoac/lwm4 classy striker are still far behind us

[modest pebble]

800 RPM makes it somewhat okay and EB

[sacred snow]

its still like bottom tier tho

eb<g36c

[modest pebble]

EB + DTOOC pretty good

[sacred snow]

i cannot for the life of me use eb

i have it but even in pts it feels ass

#unnerfEB

[modest pebble]

what feels ass about it?

recoil or just DPS wise

[sacred snow]

accuracy feels bad and dps was…underwhelming compared to other ARs

the accuracy ramp up prevents you from fighting long range initially

[modest pebble]

fair enough

i use EB like an SMG so accuracy is fine for my style

[summer gazelle]

can you go back and forth between Warlords and DC?

[analog shadow]

Once you beat the campaign yes

[summer gazelle]

crap, so if I have friends I play with and they don't have warlords, I can't play with them in DC till I beat the campaign??

[analog shadow]

Correct

You always could make a new character to play with them but ya know

[summer gazelle]

yeah, that kinda defeats the purpose. wonder how long the sale for it is at 9.99?

Warlords...

[random skiff]

The WONY campaign takes a matter of hours if you just push through it, so you could always just finish it then go help out.
It's not like it's a multi-day affair.

[jaunty pebble]

I was launching Division 2 and for some reason ubisoft connect had gave me about 8 UAC prompt

[verbal trout]

The client has been a mess in that regards since it was Uplay and not Ubisoft Connect, I'm amazed there hasn't been a change yet. Update the client? 4 UAC prompts! Update a game? More prompts!

[cyan lake]

Nah, I meant the sig mpx with the 16 inch barrel in from the third movie

[waxen coral]

I wish it was longer

[sacred snow]

ok what the FUCK is tracking me on youtube that warrants a total of...495 blocked from ublock

502 now,and only 18% apparently

[late vine]

probably youtube trying to get around ublock & force you to watch its adverts

a month or two ago it was warning me i had to turn off adblockers, then it went back to being fine again

[sacred snow]

the adblocker literally adapting to everything youtube throws at it

almost as if the golden age of piracy has never ended

[fading lily]

I'd hardly call adblock piracy #shutuplinus

[sour moon]

That moment when my glasses improve my vision by 10x

[sacred snow]

If you think about it, wearing glasses is just turning on dlss

[modest pebble]

i was reading that

[ripe oxide]

that wasnt meant negatively, please dont ban

[modest pebble]

idk who deleted it

[ripe oxide]

the f

[modest pebble]

i saw LGBTQ in there so im assuming you cant discuss that in here without some goober arguing in bad faith

[ripe oxide]

i got a warning for Homophobia ???

[sacred snow]

me when i look away for 1 minute and i miss spicy content

[ripe oxide]

i wasnt writing anything new, really

[modest pebble]

dm me what you said so i can form my own meaningless opinion

[ripe oxide]

can you see old sent messages?

[modest pebble]

isnt it in the warning

[ripe oxide]

hm just the warning

in context it wasnt homophobic, probably the bot picking it out

[analog shadow]

Pretty certain its mods that patrol chat

Happens all the time, entire convos get deleted sometimes

[random skiff]

Having just looked at the message myself, it was just the usual "lgbt people are bad hurr durr"

[ripe oxide]

No, it wasnt, the comment was about D3 keeping to the core Tom Clancy identity, storywise, and also in the microtransactions, where I used 2 examples which are quite commenplace now, the purple, which sometimes gets used by a certain community (not Tom Clancy) and the futuristic Cyberpunk (not Tom Clancy)

Please remove the "lgbt people are bad hurr durr" comment, it's insulting me

[sacred snow]

Ah yes, Tom Clancy’s Destiny 3

[verbal trout]

No no, clearly it's Tom Clancy's Diablo 3

[sacred snow]

🗣🔥🔥

[verbal trout]

Or the Tom Clancy's Doom series, which I guess is Division because of how many died, you could argue Diablo aswell, more hell, but I actually don't know enough about Destiny to say if that can relate

[mighty anvil]

i got my first shiney pal

[cyan lake]

Can't believe I'm gonna be soon 20 (on march 13th) and I still can't tie a shoe

[coral stag]

wait really?

[waxen coral]

So uh…what sets divison resurgence apart from div1?

[frozen sparrow]

being a mobile game

is kinda a big difference

[verbal trout]

In Resurgence you're a part of the First Wave of agents, in Division 1 you're a Second Wave agent aswell as in Division 2

[waxen coral]

I always that div2 was a third wave or whatever. Guess not

[random skiff]

Technically the 2nd wave is the last one as most of the people involved are likely dead now.
even the 2nd wave's leader died in the opening cutscene to div1

Although maybe I'm just not up on the extended lore, because I don't know why Agents were activated outside of cities, as it's kind of hard to ensure continuity of government if you're in the middle of New England or wherever we started.

[waxen coral]

Oh that was the dude on the helicopter?!

[lavish hearth]

Hello!

[random skiff]

hey @lavish hearth
Remember that if someone offers you a helicopter ride in an action movie, there's an 80% chance of it exploding.

[waxen coral]

I thought the leader died in a jet…I need to rewrite that cutscene

[lavish hearth]

I mean, seems pretty good odds.

[frozen sparrow]

it was an Osprey vtol

[zealous beacon]

👀

[sour moon]

Ah yes having a driving lesson on 5 hours of sleep definitely a good idea

[karmic crest]

Anyone know why I cant play the division resurgence even though I was given a code to play the game?

[random skiff]

You should ask this in the actual div Resurgence discord, you can find a link in the twitter bio.

[verbal trout]

afaik there's no TDR beta running rn

[storm meadow]

Hello agents ! 👋
Have a good week !

[karmic crest]

Ok that makes sense

[verbal trout]

Estimated release is Q1 2024, so soooon!

[cyan lake]

Man, my social interaction skill is so bad that it's tough to make new friends

[rugged lava]

first things first. dont bully yourself. its mean and rude

[rugged lava]

Aw! My dad has severe incapacitating Alzheimer's/dementia and for the past couple years theres only been one show that makes him laugh. But I put on futurama and he got a good hearty chuckle out of Nixon's disembodied head being carried around by spiro agnew's headless body

[cyan lake]

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that man

[odd jetty]

sorry bro

[verbal trout]

I'm saddened to hear that - but really happy for you guys that he has a good chuckle, must mean a lot ❤️

[cyan lake]

So um, how do I manage to make friends here? Cause...I am not that great at making one's here

[shy vine]

so boys. i saw videos about an incoming game which will be an extraction shooter.

will it be heartland or sthg else?

[cyan lake]

Which game?

[verbal trout]

I just read the chats a lot and try to reply when I can, then slowly you'll notice "the usuals". There's also a community discord for division with about 70k users on it that has voice channels.

[cyan lake]

Wait you for real?

[verbal trout]

Yeah. If you're a bit shy with voice, just start out with chatting in the channels. Try finding people in the lfg channels to play with on xbox, maybe just some casual farming, whatever, and you can ask to be on voice. I can't tell you how to make friends, but if you're friendly, and they're friendly, maybe you'll play again

[hoary harbor]

I mean if you ever wanna play I'd be down

I don't see many Xbox folks on here

[cyan lake]

I mean I might be available tomorrow here so maybe

[hoary harbor]

Hit me up whenever you like

[cyan lake]

Ok

Hi agents ! 🫡
Have a nice day !

[waxen coral]

I’m very sorry to hear that man

In all honesty. I’m playing div1 after a while. I love hearing the “wouldn’t you know it” segments

Sometimes I’d just sit in the safe house waiting for it to come on again

[verbal trout]

Is that from the guy on radio?

[waxen coral]

Yeah

[hoary harbor]

I've been playing a lot of div1 recently too

[verbal trout]

That's the guy April was investigating iirc

[narrow mortar]

I thought april was investigating her husband’s murder?

[verbal trout]

It wasn't april, here it was:

[pure bronze]

@chrome geode are we able to loot our enemies in a military zone? For example if we were in combat and after we finished it I loot them

(Irl military)

[chrome geode]

Pretty sure that's nation dependant. But we smuggled many things home in scraper tubes. It's a piece of engineer equipment. There is a hollow tube that scrapers pivot on. We stuffed that shit full. Customs don't check military equipment most the time in the US. I have a gold plated thingy I brought home, that I lost in an unfortunate boating accident, in the deepest lake ever.

[pure bronze]

GOLD PLATED AK-47

A real life warlord gun 🤩

[chrome geode]

I said thingy. Idk what you're talking about...... besides, the boating accident and all........

[pure bronze]

Ahh yes of course, discretion is advised

[pure bronze]

Ya got raided by pirates?

[chrome geode]

But yea, that's not something I can speak on for other countries. Idk laws or customs practices. I can say for sure though, where there is a rule, there will be a person or way that's going to find a way around.

[pure bronze]

Boating incident

[pure bronze]

Yea its fine imma get some stuff

[chrome geode]

Pirates? Don't the world know not to mess with American boats by now? Our government has taught that lesson many times. Ask Japan, ask Iran, and finally ask Yemen. Somalia deserves a shout too. Cause, well, Somalia

Do what ya wanna though

[pure bronze]

I mean if you’re in a big ship sure, but I assume if you are allowed to smuggle out stuff it will by a small boat

[chrome geode]

Uhhhhhhh, the only ship I've been on had a significant military presence. Can't speak on how anyone else does it though.

[pure bronze]

I smell PMC’s

[chrome geode]

Constellis Holdings whut?

This is why you gotta stay on top of fitness. I’m the same, finally back up to being able to run 2 miles after 3 months of working on it

[rugged lava]

yeah thats what i got to replace my old one that was 15 years old. great mouse for the price. its lightyears ahead of my old mouse and it has like 9 programmable buttons

[versed kite]

what does the cable feels like ?

[shy vine]

No news on division 3?

Lol

[fervent sedge]

why is it so hard to find groups in this game

thats why the player count is super low because its impossible to do any of this new content

[hoary harbor]

Idk where you're looking but the game is very active

Especially countdown

[fervent sedge]

capitol hill for manhunt pc

[hoary harbor]

There's no manhunt at the capitol tho

And if you're matchmaking through the mission of course you're never gonna find anyone

Just call for backup

[fervent sedge]

there is its to find one of the people and thats stupid to call for backup to find people when im trying to do a misson

[hoary harbor]

???????

[verbal trout]

It's a side mission / bounty, not an actual version of the main mission for the manhunt. You've got to understand how far we are in the season (it ends in two days). The game might be active, but the odds of you finding someone who's also matchmaking for a specific manhunt mission is abysmal

You're better off calling for backup (because that goes out to a wider amount of players) or heading to #lfg-pc

[hoary harbor]

Backup calls encompass every activity

So of course you're gonna find more players bruh don't diss it😭

[verbal trout]

I fully understand where he's coming from though, it's not an in-game taught thing that you should call for backup rather than matchmake for a specific mission that you want to run. Especially when that's the type of matchmaking you do in any mmo

[fervent sedge]

so should i not even try to do the manhunt since its ending soon?

[verbal trout]

that's not what I said - but it's easily soloable.
If you want to find players, call for backup (it goes out to everyone in D.C. that has it enabled, matchmaking requires someone else to be specifically queuing for that activity)

[hoary harbor]

If you want to you can have it done in a day

[fervent sedge]

ok cool ill call for backup im gonna go to bed. but you think its worth it to try to do it before it ends?

[hoary harbor]

How far into it are you

[fervent sedge]

23 percent to find the target @hoary harbor

[hoary harbor]

If you're interested in lore then totally go for it

If not, you're not missing out on anything

[cyan lake]

Can't believe I managed to wake up at 1 pm when I always wake up at like 10:00 am

[rugged lava]

the diameter seems a liiiitle small but it feels very strong. its just a rubber shrink tubing around it, no weave or anything. Im not at all worried about the cable getting damaged

[versed kite]

any problem with cable being fried ? for your usage duration

[rugged lava]

nope

not yet. ive played 4 or 5 hour sessions and theres been no drop in performance

also the cable is nice and long but doesnt coil itself into knots all

[versed kite]

easy to get damaged ?

[rugged lava]

not unless you're extremely reckless

like i said it feels surprisingly strong,. i was a little concerned about it when i bought it bc its mentioned in reviews but ive had no problem with the cable at all

i actually have more confidence in the mouse cable than my usb headphones cable (which is much thicker and its covered in a proteective weave) bc that one curls itself into all kinds of crazy poses and i have to unwind it every so often and that alone has a non zero potential for damaging it

[verbal trout]

Me: tries to fix something with superglue
The superglue: Lid is glued shut irony

[cyan lake]

Just bought re3r and I am excited to play it cause the only re games I played were re7 and the RE2R so

[fervent sedge]

whoever told me oh you just cant find a group because its 2am well its the middle of the day and i still cant find a group sooo

[cyan lake]

I mean I tried to even find a road group on the Xbox and only a few I found and it was only for dh here and no ih here

[sacred snow]

seeing skill up’s suicide squad review shows that we can somehow, go even lower when it comes to live service games

talking about Batman is beating a dead horse now but the entire game reminds me of pre Destiny WQ campaign where its just “do 3 patrols”

and what,they said 13 seasons?pfffff

its like that meme where Thanos goes “perhaps ive treated you too harshly” and its every other looter shooter out there

[hoary harbor]

Gotham knights was overhated

Look at what rocksteady did😭

[frozen sparrow]

suicide squad sucking doesn't retroactively make it better

[hoary harbor]

The introductory cut scene solos

[random skiff]

I'm hearing a lot of hate for it based on a cutscene, did it do anything particularly awful or just kill batman?

[random skiff]

If anyone wants a good chuckle, go google what it looks like when someone wears an Applie Vision Pro and those dyson headphones at the same time.

[dry delta]

I'm scared to do it and then I will not be able to "unsee" it

[frozen sparrow]

i have been told that the endgame sucks and the plot/characters generally aren’t good

ie batman’s death isn’t very personal or emotional at all, cpt boomerang goes for a wee on superman’s corpse cus he’s an orc i guess

the characters all play the same, ie the shark guy and cpt boomerang using guns

the plot ends on nothing and brainiac gets away and it says very shamelessly the plot will continue in the live service content

[random skiff]

I wasn't really looking for full plot spoilers, more of just why people are foaming at the mouth over it.

[frozen sparrow]

well the biggest thing is that people are saying it’s disrespectful to the now dead kevin conroy that this was his last role, a very boring 2d brainwashed batman who just dies

which i don’t necessarily agree with i don’t think they set out to disrespect a VA
but i think people are saying it as a sort of manifestation/label applied to feeing let down or disappointed

tldr it’s generally not very good and the kevin conroy stuff is getting involved with it

[random skiff]

As someone who watched Kevin's batman stuff since the literal 90's, he's done way sillier stuff than this.

[analog shadow]

The final boss battle is literally a reskinned version of the first boss battle

Wrong reply but whatever

Works out

The new suicide squad game is genuinely bad

[sour moon]

Playing fortnite and of course everyones a lvl 200+ sweat

[sacred snow]

its not that Rocksteady would know ahead of time that Kevin would pass away, but its just adds fuel to the fire that his character get such an unceremonious death at the same time that Kevin passed

also it would have had way less backlash if WB didn’t say “erm its actually Arkham Batman”

you know, same guy that beats his entire rogue gallery in like 1 night on top of an entire army?

he literally oneshot Harley like a couple times

[sacred snow]

nahnahnah get this: you did ||kill braniac but now you’ll have to do it 12 more times all over again because muh multiverse||

Hello agents ! 🫡

[cyan lake]

Can't believe I have became so bored with what games I have Here

And it's probably from playing all the things that got me interested and that I got no one to play for 2 reasons: I don't know how to properly introduce myself and that I am too afraid to speak with others from my friend list

[amber horizon]

unfortunate but thats why i have a stockpile of games that are singleplayer, stuff like persona, yakuza, some roguelike/lites,stuff like that

its not so much because i dont socialize but because im awake at such odd hours

Just found em on yt about division crossover

[stark yarrow]

anyone else gearing up for ff7 rebirth by replaying the first one? im planning to do 2 playthroughs. normal to shake the rust off and then hard difficulty to really crank things up. i cant imagine they change the gameplay that much for rebirth? im avoiding spoilers so if you have played the demo of rebirth. let me know if the gameplay has changed thats it please

[sour moon]

Of course its -3°C no wonder it's so cold

[cyan lake]

Does anyone got some good game recommendations to me? Cause I'm bored as hell

[amber horizon]

what kind of games do you like

[frozen sparrow]

Inscryption

[cyan lake]

Those that are like single player hoor, stuff but also adventure ones too

[amber horizon]

that narrows it down so much

[hoary harbor]

Much less horror but dying light is excellent

[modest pebble]

i wish dying lights story hasnt written but a lobotomized chipmonk

gameplay so good story absolutely garbage

[hoary harbor]

Yeah the story was a letdown but the gameplay was amazing

Nothing quite like first nightfall on that game

In that vein, I also suggest the resident evil remakes

[sacred snow]

eh it could’ve been worse

suicide squad

[hoary harbor]

The story in dying light was enough to make me want to play it at least

I still havent even cleared the bozak horde or Harran prison yet though

Even though i have like the best gear 😭

[sacred snow]

i had performance issues on it so its in indefinite hang for now

it definitely plummeted after you leave the slum

like i wanted to see more of the settlement leader guy

[random skiff]

I played the second one, it was pretty great with how open it got, how explore-y

[sacred snow]

im like way more interested in him than uh,whatever the woman char is named

also i hate riot zombies and if i have to fight 1 more with nothing but a wooden table leg i will beat myself with it instead

and to think they removed guns in dying light 2

[random skiff]

I honestly did not notice an absence. Their is way better ways to kill stuff than using a gun.

Although there is technically a gun in the game, but it's a joke weapon lol.

[sacred snow]

tbf guns in dying light 1 was kinda scarce

i think i found a glock with some rounds in a hut

[random skiff]

There are crossbows and bows in 2,

[sacred snow]

after using all of it on the volatile(i missed every shot💀)

never again

[random skiff]

Even in newgame+, volatiles are freaking terrifying in 2.

I tried doing that "stay near a light" to try and bait it thing, and it still crash-tackled me anyway.
their AI is annoyingly good.

[sacred snow]

i think thats after an AI overhaul cuz before that i saw clips of volatiles just being farmed like that first night in minecraft where you build 2 blocks up and beat the zombies with your arm

props to them for fixing the game

[random skiff]

They've done some really good work.

honestly, I'd lose everything else in the game if I got to climb the VNC tower for the first time again.

[hoary harbor]

Yeah guns are more of a panic button

Unless you get the dlc that included a fkin tactical suppressed assault rifle lmao

[sacred snow]

go go gadget glock

[hoary harbor]

Instant one taps to the head

[random skiff]

Just go for 2 where you can literally just fly around the city because Thermals and your glider.

[hoary harbor]

I dont actually own 2 yet but im definitely interested in getting my hands on it

[modest pebble]

I like DL2

story is still pretty bad but

theres a whole lot more to do in DL2

[random skiff]

I admit, the time trials scratched that Mirror's Edge parkour urge.

I got the best medal on some of those and damn its nail-biting.

[hoary harbor]

I started catalyst and never found the motivation to play it again

[random skiff]

nah not Catalyst, although it's better than people give it credit for.

[modest pebble]

the parkour in DL2 is absolutely amazing

way better then DL1

[random skiff]

I can't speak compared to dl1's parkour, but it's fantastic in 2.
how far did you get in 2?

[modest pebble]

all endings. 4-5 characters

5th one was a speed run so not really a true playthrough

[random skiff]

nice.
I did a double run, one on regular then ng+ for peacekeepers.

[modest pebble]

I never did ng+ for whatever reason

tbh i spent most of my time getting good at parkour

[random skiff]

I thought "oh this'll be fun" then I fought a Volatile at endgame in ng+ and nearly had a heart attack.

It's like fighting a human player that has better stats and is a higher level.

[modest pebble]

night wasnt scary to me, not like in DL1. the Bridge volatile farm method probably killed it for me tbh

idk if they patched that by now

[random skiff]

I never farmed stuff, I specifically stayed away from that.
made it so much more tense.

although I did work out how to get into the devkit room, very proud of myself for that one.

[hoary harbor]

Cant speak for volatiles in DL2 but night in 1 lost tension after I got that hellbeast shotgun

[random skiff]

no guns in 2

[modest pebble]

first week of launch I killed 1k+ volatiles in like 3 hours

[hoary harbor]

Ah

[narrow mortar]

Are you talking about dying light?

[hoary harbor]

Hand to hand theyre insanely strong

[random skiff]

@narrow mortar yarp

[hoary harbor]

Yep

[random skiff]

There's actually a reference at the start of 2, something like "this isnt america" when someone mentions a gun lol.

[modest pebble]

I think most of the reason DL2 lost that scariness is because of the parkour. it becomes super easy to run away from volatiles

[random skiff]

See that is the thing, the only thing you can really do against them after a while is run, so that helps.

first time i went into a nest during the day in ng+ was basically just me ticking the "die now" option.

[hoary harbor]

Is it the sort of thing where theres every incentive to avoid them or do you get good stuff off their bodies

[random skiff]

They drop good stuff, but they are really good at killing you and closing the distance if you try to snipe with a bow/crossbow

[hoary harbor]

Ah they still spit that stuff at you I see

[random skiff]

I wouldn't say the game is a straight upgrade from 1, but it does a lot of stuff really well and I recommend it if you want a good zombie parkour thingy.

its also real pretty

The one thing I do wish we got is all the cut content. Turns out there's a ton of stuff that the publishers either vetoed or got left on the floor due to time/design issues.

[modest pebble]

agor

[hoary harbor]

Oof

[random skiff]

fun fact: at one point in the develeopment: you could permanently lose a hand and get a hook there.

[modest pebble]

if you got a PC that can run 4k ray tracing the game looks incredible

[random skiff]

there's footage of it, like no joke. Hook hand.

[hoary harbor]

Stuff like that aint really common in games

Even in telltales stuff you always have similar outcomes

Too big a change I guess

[random skiff]

Well the footage I saw showed you still able to parkour, so more of a narrative change.
but still, I like when games allow me to permanently make a choice and it to have a consequence.

[hoary harbor]

Id like that

Wasn’t a choice really but getting malaria in far cry 2 made for an interesting dynamic

[random skiff]

I'm also fine with it being a joke, like at the start of Rage 2 you pick if you want to play as a prebuild woman or man, and then the moment you pick the other one just immediately gets flattened by a door.

[hoary harbor]

Rage 2 sounds like it takes itself much less seriously than the first game lol

[narrow mortar]

Nice

[hoary harbor]

I love the first though theres just something about it I keep replaying it for

[narrow mortar]

👌🏻

[random skiff]

Oh 100%. You basically play as someone born in this world but still have a kinda "superpower blood" that you have to upgrade over the game.

[hoary harbor]

So its like natural nanotrites I guess

[random skiff]

there's legit a "if you gib someone, you reload faster" passive.

[hoary harbor]

Sounds pretty fun lol

[random skiff]

It actually is!
and yeah, your parents were from the Ark but videogames so you get raised by basically Ripley from Aliens.

there's these refreshable bounties from boards in the cities, and the charges on them are always this weird mix of dark and stupid.
e.g.
"arson, trafficking of human organs, flaying a dentist"

[hoary harbor]

My interest in the game has definitely piqued i might check it out if its ever on sale

[random skiff]

it was free via Prime on EGS a while back, so keep an eye out for a freebie.

[hoary harbor]

I just heard bad things on launch and assumed the worst tbh

[random skiff]

It's 100% not a AAA game, but it's a solid 6-7/10

the fact that your car has the most voice lines of any character in the game apart from you is just perfect.

"we're here, sport"

[hoary harbor]

I do enjoy the sort of overlooked fun bargain bin stuff, not that rage is low profile but yknow

[random skiff]

Oh no not at all lol, but it is an AA game, maybe even A.

but the shotgun feels like you're firing a cannon so it's all good.

[hoary harbor]

Wait big question; do you still get multiple ammo types

Pop rockets and electro slugs on the original shotgun were amazing

[random skiff]

@hoary harbor Yep, different arrow types.
7 variations, including base ones.

bolts only have 6 though.

[hoary harbor]

Ayyyy

[kindred bobcat]

Hi how is everyone today?

[solemn sparrow]

Splendid, just exquisite

[snow hull]

anyone else get a random friend request from a mia_324?

[random skiff]

Send me their User ID and I'll see if they're in.

[inland olive]

risk of rain 2 good?

[sour moon]

Lol playing gta 4 and mission shootouts feel harder than free roam shootouts

[random skiff]

Tried Red Dead Online today and the game is like "here have a story mission that is locked to matchmaking", then the people who joined proceeded to drain all the lives and wipe.
5 tries later and that's a 112gb install down the drain.

[hoary harbor]

As I understand it RDO was heavily neglected

GTA online ruined everything

[random skiff]

Not even talking about the behind the scenes stuff, I just literally can't finish a story mission becuase I'm forced to play with others online.

[hoary harbor]

They don't let you go it alone?

[random skiff]

Apparently some do, but this one the only options were "mission details" "matchmake" and "close"

the first one gives you some flavour-text, the 3rd one boots you to the map, and the 2nd is obvious :p

[hoary harbor]

That sucks

I remember AC unity giving you the option to solo every co op mission in the game and thought it was kinda nice

[random skiff]

That's a neat idea actually.

[hoary harbor]

It gets really damn difficult but I appreciate the option and the challenge

Servers ain't gonna last forever and all

[gilded thistle]

Yess!

[grim terrace]

That's some bad luck.

[cerulean horizon]

hey guys are the servers down ? cuz i cant connect ..

[timber coral]

Maintenance -> #server-status message

[cerulean horizon]

ok thx

[fiery ravine]

Bro, why is there a Glock in cutscenes but not in gameplay? UBISOFT!!! FIX IT!!!

[modest pebble]

new exotic. "Glockinator"

[random skiff]

I don't know IRL guns, is there something special about this one?

[hoary harbor]

It's just odd I guess that it's in cutscenes but not gameplay

[fiery ravine]

It's made in Austria, it's very reliable in most environments and it's created in bulk. It is also used by a lot of police depts and forces in the US and around the world. though not the 18c specifically, just glocks in general, it would make sense to have it in gameplay cause it's very common in civilian markets and the black market not to mention Police Departments and well, they already have the license if it's in a cutscene.

[modest pebble]

glockinator was some 40 year old american who 3dprinted mounts to connect 2 full auto glocks (a 9mm pistol). they are mounted like 90 degrees apart in a V shape. then a sight ontop.

64 rounds in 1.5 seconds

glockinator

[random skiff]

It has cutscene powers, it'd be too OP in regular gameplay.

[fiery ravine]

I know this is a joke, but they could tweak it to NOT 1 shot kill.

[modest pebble]

a full auto pistol would be fun

[hoary harbor]

An avengers level threat to rival even ouro

[random skiff]

For balance reasons I know why we don't have them, but I do want them to just change the sharpshooter spec pistol to higher bursts.

Let me really use it as a backup on an MMR setup.

[fiery ravine]

fun fact if you look at Manny's Holster during cutscenes, and on some appearance mod vests / plate carriers, you can see a glock holstered.

GIVE US THE GLOCK UBISOFT!

[random skiff]

Manny has the cutscene power.

[fiery ravine]

damn, never thought about that.

[amber horizon]

they dont read these chats, not really

• iirc they've been saying new base weapons arent in the cards (atleast i thought they said that)

[fiery ravine]

bruh, how DARE THEY!

[random skiff]

Honestly, good. No more base weapons. We do not need a 4th type of mg5.

[fiery ravine]

I don't think it'd count as a "New" base weapon, since it's fully constructed in the cutscene, all they'd need to do is make it shoot or something.

also, it's an AUTOMATIC pistol! it's an 18C. that's epic!

[random skiff]

It likely doesn't have a player model, remember that things need to be individually crafted to actually hold.

[fiery ravine]

what do you mean "Player model?"

[modest pebble]

the objects have to interact with the playerr itself

[random skiff]

^

[fiery ravine]

it does in cutscenes.

[modest pebble]

just cuz they have a model doesnt mean that just automatically slot into the game

cutscenes are just engine generated

just like trailers

[fiery ravine]

well, there's a lot of unused in-game clothing from the trailers, who's to say the Glock is unused in-game?

[modest pebble]

I cant say your wrong but im not going to assume that your right either

[amber horizon]

it would, as the models from cutscenes in most games are different from the models players use. That, and there would need to be a lot more work done for sounds, for animations, and for the actual damage it does.

and as cool as full auto pistols are, its still a pistol. not really used that much, excluding exotics

[modest pebble]

damage, fire rate accuracy etc is actually quite easy

if the game is coded properly

[amber horizon]

its still extra work, for a pistol

[modest pebble]

which is questionable

yea theres really no reason to add besides hehe funny FA glock

[random skiff]

I'm still unclear on why people like one particular gun over another.

but I accept theyre just not something I'm going to understand.

[solemn sparrow]

One looks cooler!

[analog shadow]

Something that I should add here, ubi could also be avoiding adding a glock entirely, its highly noticeable with recent ghost recon games but in most of their shooters they seemingly avoid adding typical guns that have more familiar press around them, specifically the ar15 and glock, they always add the m4a1 specifically in place of a standard block m4

Division is a more mixed bag because of the rifle category but even then those still aren’t typical

[late vine]

I think I heard there are licensing issues around the glock, they probably just want too much money for it.

[grim lichen]

yikes

[modest pebble]

[slender gulch]

message gone?

[hoary harbor]

Anyways I started AC3 remastered

[slender gulch]

[grim lichen]

splendid!

[hoary harbor]

I cba with Valhalla or odyssey

I own everything bar rogue before that

Even origins I've barely touched I just can't find the motivation

Even though it's supposed to be some kind of masterpiece

It does look quite nice though if anything

[viscid stratus]

is there a reason that my name wasnt allowed when it was hayzee?

I wouldve msged modmail but it requires me to link my account to the bot

[supple marsh]

bunch of bots had zee in the name a while back and thats still in the automod

[fiery ravine]

It's in cutscene and on character clothing and npc holsters.

[analog shadow]

They probably didn’t have the license to actually include it

Thing is, having it on a character design for a cutscene is different than actually having it as a usable weapon with its own stats

Its also the reason why stuff like CoD doesn’t do very many real name/ real designs of weapons anymore

Its because licenses cost money

Its much easier to not include or change it visually

[random skiff]

It's always better when they mildly change the name, and way funnier too.

[analog shadow]

Reminder that MW2 reboot has a redesign for the real life vector, that causes it to literally not function

[random skiff]

pd2 renaming it the Kross Vertex is the best thing and I won't hear otherwise.

😨

[proper lodge]

So I've been playing FF14 again, and I realized my character almost looks like the Recruiter if he was wearing Late Allagan Caster gear

[cyan lake]

Great, my fucking Samsung smart tv is now flickering here

[sacred snow]

Flickering means that either your tv is haunted or its buggy

[hollow cairn]

I found the game "GTFO" missions success ratio for 1 year 🙂

rundown 001: 0.514%

Rundown Infection: < 0.1%

Rundown The Vessel: 0.324%

Rundown Contact: < 0.1%

91.18% of all expedition attempts fail, meaning players die in GTFO a lot. There have been over 15 million medical kits applied, and over 600,000 players have typed "Help"

The second Rundown to launch had the most challenging expedition "E1" with 1.4% of players surviving this particular mission.

And the game is incredibly fun. with a stable discord. often when I'm in their discord, there are 100+ players in voice chat groups with 4 players

[cyan lake]

Either that or the fact that I had used my tv to play on my Xbox for about 15 hours a day and now it started to act up and now my parents have to get a technician to get it fixed here and my tv never did this at all and now it started to and it's weird cause it's a Samsung smart tv

[random skiff]

15 hours a day more than once, and you are wondering why the components didn't last too long?

I think that TV needs some time in a rest home.

[cyan lake]

Well it's probably that when I stopped to use my laptop for a few days cause I got bored of it I started to use my tv from around 10:00 am to all the way 1:00 or 2:00 am here

And the flickering was that it would just have the screen to show either black screen or go back to normal but with a darker screen and repeat

[random skiff]

You should have more breaks from your screen, it can cause serious permanent health issues.

In the meantime, try doing this eye exercise. Every 20 minutes or so, look closely at something near you, then look at something in the far distance, focus heavily on it. Can help remarkably with permanent eye strain.

that and get up and stretch frequently. Your body might feel fine now, but 20 years down the line will thank you. And 40+ years it can help you stay way more mobile.

[verbal trout]

While I never say no to health advice like this (be aware of eye strain, take care, stretch, hydrate) it won't exactly fix his TV flickering

[random skiff]

It'll help stop it from happening again when the parents are told that their kid ruined a smart TV by burnout.
not saying it was that exactly, but it can't have helped.

Wait a sec, @cyan lake is the "flickering" only happening as you play xbox?

[cyan lake]

No, even when I switch to watch tv it still has the flickering here

[random skiff]

Okay nevermind, thought it might be motion-smoothing or something.

[cyan lake]

And thankfuly the technician will arrive at my house to get it fixed but my parents have to pay almost 76 dollars in total

[random skiff]

You should chip in.

[cyan lake]

My mom has my credit card cause I always waste money on virtual stuff and snacks

And I have her my card cause I wanna save up money to buy a Xbox series S so I could play RE4R

And other games that I have too

[verbal trout]

Relax, AI.
Panther hasn't mentioned for how many days in a row he's had the TV on for 15 hours straight, you have no clue about his personal situation. For all you know, he could've been dealing with personal tragedy.
Flickering can also be caused by a multitude of reasons - and if it's only 76 dollars, that's a cheap fix.

[nocturne rivet]

say, can i pick y'alls brains about something stupid?

[autumn sable]

i wish i have my mom to stop me wasting money on things i dont really need lmao

[cyan lake]

Look, I'm not goonna say much more cause I'm tired and I'm heading to bed so, and I had my tv up for almost the entire of February in most days

[random skiff]

@verbal trout You really should've read the follow up messages before you posted that.

[autumn sable]

i have no autocontrol 😭

[random skiff]

Of course, that's what this server is for, idiots.
go ahead!

[nocturne rivet]

alright

I'm writing something, and i was wondering if y'all had any ideas on how you'd convert the effects of banshee's shadow to in-universe

since the effects of selective damage and such make no sense

[random skiff]

The difference between game vs IRL is sometimes tricky to separate, but I guess you could stretch it out and say that ISAC is advising you to shoot non-essential spots on them sometimes?

[verbal trout]

That his mom has his credit card? Because he chooses to?
I'm sorry, I just read it as you're shaming him, trying to parent him when you don't know the whole story.

[nocturne rivet]

maybe?

honestly, i'd be ready to replace the effects with something else, long as it works with the idea of a set designed to function in areas like the Dark Zone

[random skiff]

This isn't my first interaction with someone who's young and doesn't know how to spend money yet. It actually used to be my job so I recognise this stuff pretty well.

[random skiff]

Well it does only exist in div1, so there's less need right now.
that being said, if you want to get into the nitty-gritty of it, a lot of the Talents ingame make no sense IRL, so maybe at a certain point you might just have to accept that "it's a game" is a valid explanation.

[nocturne rivet]

The thing i'm writing is set in D1

writing a reinstated Rogue Agent, Penelope O'Faolain, callsign Banshee. wanted to give her the armor, but i'm trying to figure out a decent effect or how to translate its in-game effects

i do have the idea of it possibly being designed for use in areas where connection with ISAC may be unstable, like with the Dark-Zone where transmission shave shat the bed, but i'm unsure of how to really apply that

BTW, like the visual design on your profile pic

the way you have the colors of the flags is cool

[random skiff]

Thanks, yeah it was designed by a wonderful member of the server as a gift and then they sent me the base files.
It's cool you noticed the surrounding flag, almost no one does.

Interesting idea for the fic, one small thing a lot of people miss is that callsigns aren't given to yourself, but by others. and almost always as an insult of some sort. So maybe include a bit in there and you'll add another layer of realism to the whole thing.

[verbal trout]

I respect that, but considering he has willingly and of his own volition given his credit card to his mom because he cannot control his impulses (sounds quite ADHD to me, as a fellow neurodivergent) says to me that he handles it in a rather adult way - despite neither of us knowing his age (or need to know).
It's just. From the get go it was blaming him for it. As a guy who has spent most of the last two years on sick leave due to mental burnout, with my pc being on a lot - you just don't know the reason for why he might've been playing a lot lately. And from a technical standpoint, flickering can just happen for so many reasons. We don't know how old the TV is, if it would've broke in the next year anyways, how many operating hours it has as of now.

[random skiff]

I'm not reading that wall, but sure.
if the tl;dr is that I maybe could've gotten something wrong or i dont know the full story, obviously, but also you don't either and also none of this means anything because it's almost certainly made up for internet points. The story is full of holes. But also, who cares, it's just discord.

[nocturne rivet]

my idea for the origin of her callsign was something along the lines of her being FUCKING LOUD when yelling, or accidentally flashbanging herself

thus, screaming like a banshee

also, as the last name would imply, has irish heritage and is proud of it

[random skiff]

that could work yeah!

@verbal trout Honestly don't worry about continuing it, I'm already dropping the convo. I've had weird interactions with them before and they probably won't last the rest of the year on here anyway.

[nocturne rivet]

anyway, back to thinking about the potential armor design

designed to function in areas where ISAC may be unreliable or borked [such as the Dark Zone], with systems in the pack allowing devices to run independently of the network, or pick up the slack when the connection is poor

that could work

[verbal trout]

I'll drop my passive aggressive comment I was typing up and instead say this - I never meant to start shit. Just give perspective. And sometimes you just need to rant without a stranger parenting you (chip in) ^^
As you said, it's Discord afterall

[nocturne rivet]

good way to translate the idea of a set that functions well in the dark zone, while harkening somewhat back to Banshee's Shadow's original version, the BLIND gear set

[verbal trout]

@random skiff I was in my prime time earlier in build advice, it was glorious. Suddenly the whole squad was involved

[nocturne rivet]

combine with a headset and visor [or in this case, inserts for a gas mask] that provide the blind/deaf resistance from the original BLIND gearset, and you've got a handy little system

i'm cooking

[verbal trout]

Keep cooking. LET THEM COOK. I'll hold off everyone

[nocturne rivet]

alright, i think i got a good idea for the set!

Designed to operate in areas where the Shade Network may be absent or unreliable and for those who may be hunting down rogue SHD Agents, the Banshee's Shadow armor became extremely useful in the Dark Zone. Using systems built into the armor and backpack, it can act as a supplement or replacement for a network connection, allowing Shade Tech to function at peak performance even without a connection to ISAC, and can effectively 'airgap' the Agent's kit preventing it from being hacked from outside sources [IE, how rogue agents hack your shit] or otherwise disrupted by those with an understanding of Shade Tech. Some agents, basing it off systems used by Rogue Agents in NYC, have even adapted the armor to hijack the equipment of enemy factions.

In game terms, it gives you an immunity to Disrupted and prevents Rogue Agents from hacking your shit, and even allow you to possibly hijack enemy equipment like Rogue Agents do in D1

and allows Penny to spam the funne hacker ability given she IS a former NYC rogue

I also tied Penny into the lore with a thing

y'all know the Armory in the northeast DZ? thats the reason she went rogue

Tried to hold out with a contingent of JTF, 34 Police Officers and 21 National Guardsmen adding up to 55 personnel [counted all the bodies in and around the armory]. But, due to a betrayal, Rikers overran the site and they were fucking butchered

she was the only one who made it out, and after coming away from that its understandable that her faith in the SHD and JTF was severely shaken, and the LMB's more methodical methods seemed better, before they proved to be more of an occupying army than a peacekeeping force

[hoary harbor]

What is this I'm hearing about halo infinite getting rid of battle passes and recycling all the intended content in the store

[sacred snow]

halo infinite
sleep

[hoary harbor]

I was under the impression it was coming back but it seems they've given up lmao

[hoary harbor]

I was thinking of picking up trepang2, how is it?

I hear it's a spiritual successor to the ole FEAR games

[sacred snow]

I think more of the older max payne games when it comes to trepang

Like the whole slo mo combat thing,you also fight some zombies and some fair decent AI

Like imagine if you pitch shadow company against max payne

Yea thats trepang

[frozen sparrow]

so you’ve made a fan concept to rework it gameplay wise, and are thinking of how to explain that in universe rather than the actual effect?
couldn’t you just fan concept up a new gear set at that point

also considering the flavour text
“Banshee heat is the brainchild of a joint research project between several ivy-league universities and top defence engineers.”
the icon is a B2 bomber (TIL) so it’s probably some sort of next generation data linking/communications improvement/idk whatever for the military (I think a project like this already existed in the US but I can’t remember what it was called. or at the very least I’ve seen a concept), which imo is a fair enough way to also hand wave the manhunt status in game effects

[cyan lake]

Well I found out what caused the flickering of my tv and it was one of the LED light on the led strip stopped working here

And thankfuly he had a replacement of it too so (mostly cause he needed the sticker or whatever it's called that had the series number of it)

[nocturne rivet]

The whole reason I’m doing this is cause I like Banshee’s Shadow’s name, characters callsign is banshee and part of her schtick is the dark zone.

Though honestly might just drop the whole gear set idea entirely and have her use regular high end gear you see on the generic rogues

She is specifically a former member of the LMB Special Operations folks, the ones who show up on Legendary missions to kick you in the shins, mostly because i like the fractal camo a lot

and cause i find the crackheads funny

[verbal trout]

Gear set is well cooked imo, I like the idea. It's clear it's aimed for PvP aswell, as you rarely get the opportunity to hack SHD Tech in PvP

[astral aurora]

anybody with pc building knowledge

trynna upgrade my pc a lil bit but don't know which part to replace first

[viscid stratus]

can yall remove zee from the flagged names 💀

I cant put my name as my uplay :kekw:

[random skiff]

We don't actually have access to the filters, but it likely wouldn't be removed anyway as people still try to use it for some reason.

[verbal trout]

Because of a certain conflict sadly

[hoary harbor]

So I played through the first two missions over on trepang and it seems very interesting

[verbal trout]

gotta hit us with a speclist (both pc and monitor) if you want sensible suggestions

[astral aurora]

i can't send pics here, check dms.

Upgrade your GPU.
Find a used GTX 1080/1080ti if you wanna stay in the cheaper end, or you could look towards some RTX cards (would still recommen buying used)

There's no point in upgrading RAM nor CPU, as you're limited to the older platform/socket.
You'd want to upgrade Motherboard, CPU and RAM together (can recommend a Ryzen 7800X3D paried with 16 or 32GB DDR5 around 6000 MHz on a B650 AORUS ELITE AX (something similarly priced)

M.2's are also way cheaper now, so might aswell get yourself 1-2TB of storage - but that's more a nice to have.
