I feel like this year feels just like how 2016 was

rugged lava
#

what was 2016 like? i have zero recollection of that year

random skiff
#

A lot of people talked about celebrities dying and there was a lot of jokes about the Rio Olympics. That's about it.

rugged lava
#

ah.

random skiff
#

oh also a little known indie gem called "Tom Clancy's The Division" was released.

sacred snow
#

made by the small indie studio massive

rugged lava
#

i guess i should mark down that release date on my calendar

#

maybe light off some firecrackers or something to celebrate

#

s14e9 is the worst episode of CSI I have watched so far

#

that puts it below the episode with the latex suit contortionist slasher who says “I am No One!!” in a mildly edgy voice, fyi

#

and the episode with a shark

i remember liking ncis but haven't gotten round to csi

#

Anyone have an idea on how to actually successfully report an extremely racist username/account? Not sure that Xbox even gives a crap, but can't the D2 devs ban users?

modest pebble
#

You can report in game. social tab.

#

no idea if anything will even happen but

grand pilot
#

I took a screenshot, but I can't post images here. And "slowmode is enabled" as well... Been on Discord since 2019 and that's the first time I saw that!

modest pebble
#

i imagine its a variation of the nword

grand pilot
#

It's not like profanity...

#

No, it's "HeilHerrDoktor"

modest pebble
#

I dont get it

modest pebble
grand pilot
#

Really? Josef Mengele???? The German doctor responsible for gassing the Jews at Auschwitz???

#

It's antisemitic and usernames like that are just plain ignorant.

modest pebble
#

Imma be honest with you. no ones getting banned for a name like that

grand pilot
#

They should... It's blatantly antisemitic.

#

Josef Mengele has always been referred to as "Herr Doktor"

soft wave
grand pilot
soft wave
random skiff
#

Doesn't that literally just mean "the doctor"?

#

We aren't going to ban for using a german name unless it's deliberate bait and you can prove that.

#

There is no one by that name on this server as far as I can tell.

modest pebble
#

I thought you cared about the heil part not the herr doktor

#

cuz thats up to interreptation

#

thats why itll never get banned

grand pilot
random skiff
#

If it's just ingame and not on here we can do nothing, we're not employees, just daily managers of this server.

modest pebble
#

and most name bans are done by bots so if its something thats not clearly a nazi symbol thing its not going anywhere

random skiff
#

By all means please do let me know about questionable profiles or names on this server, I'm happy to remove people like that.

grand pilot
#

Ahhh, I was under the mistaken impression that this area was monitored/maintained by actual devs.

random skiff
#

To clarify: the blue names are devs, they're not around that much but that is why we're here.

grand pilot
#

I'll be happy to share the messages between he and I, but I'm not sure of the repercussions I might face for doing so. I'll just keep trying to spread the word and hopefully he'll get banned from Xbox.

soft wave

xbox would probably care more tbh

Sadge about Heartland. Though I see why. It wouldn't have been a great entry as an extraction shooter. Put all those devs on The Division 3!

modest pebble
#

I wish they would get rid of the NDA's so we can talk about what aspects of heartland we would want in div 3

grand pilot
#

A username like "HeilHerrDoktor" is about the same as a username like "James Earl Ray"...

grand pilot
modest pebble
#

it is

#

but NDA's still stick afaik

grand pilot
#

Ah, gotcha. I wonder if there will actually ever be a Div 3 anyway.

modest pebble
#

theyve announced that div 3 will exist

grand pilot
#

They announced Heartlands, too...........

modest pebble
#

this is true

grand pilot
#

They chose not to renew contracts with sixteen mega-server subcontractors, so that's somewhat alarming, considering the reserved bandwidth required to even be considered for a contract.

soft wave
# humble mist Sadge about Heartland. Though I see why. It wouldn't have been a great entry as ...

And worst part, it had precedent which failed, with Ghost Recon. First, Mercenaries Mode was added as part of the final update of Ghost Recon Wildlands, and it flopped so hard Ubisoft actually literally gave away the "Walker skin" (earned by just playing ONE match) for free trhough in-game store 2 years later or so. Then there was Ghost Recon Frontline, free-to-play first-person Extraction shooter which was horribly received at announcement (including me), had a few closed tests, and was cancelled. And now The Division Heartland, another free-to-play extraction shooter, cancelled after a few closed tests. 3 extraction games/modes flopped in a row,

grand pilot
#

I just don't think Ubisoft can find any justification to continue the franchise, at least at this point in time... I hate it, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, well...

soft wave
#

Not to mention Rainbow Six Extraction, a literal extraction game boycotted by the hateful R6Siege fanboys and Ubihaters that was abandoned by Ubisoft in less than 1 year, but was actually amazing and had potential to grow a lot more, never to the point of Siege, but with its own niche.

grand pilot
#

They can announce whatever they want, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

humble mist
#

If Div 3 was just survival mode from Div 1; I'ld buy it. It's the only reason I hop into Div 1 now and then.

grand pilot
#

I also think GTA 6 is going to distract a LOT of people from niche games like Div.

grand pilot
#

GTA6 launching is about on the same level as Eminem doing a duet album with Taylor Swift, and Jay-Z producing.......

#

I'll say this: I

#

I've never bought a new console solely because of a specific game, but I sure will be doing that for GTA6.

soft wave
random skiff
#

Just to confirm: NDA appears to still be in effect, discussions that break it will result in removal from this server and a likely deletion of your entire ubi-connect account.
So ya know, tread lightly.

soft wave
#

I wasn't even called for testing...

grand pilot
#

NDA's arent valid unless signed.

random skiff
#

Literally any NDA that you want to break on here. If it's ubisoft related or otherwise. The "no leaks" rule is universal.

soft wave
#

Though I had the honor to test Rainbow Six Extraction back in the day!

random skiff
#

You don't need to keep spamming question marks, one is fine.

grand pilot
#

I'm at a loss....

grand pilot
random skiff
#

Incorrect, Rockstar have said that the plans for the PC version are the same as GTA 5, or at least in the same vein.

soft wave
grand pilot
#

I missed that then.

random skiff
#

I can't imagine ever loving a game enough to spend close to a grand on a console.

random skiff
#

You don't need to directly reply to me, I'm in the chat.

#

Yep console +1 controller here is $800, plus over $100 for the game and whatever PS plus costs now.

#

Base edition for ps5 games here is currently $109, although back in the day for a while, ps3 games were $120 so it could always be worse.

grand pilot
#

That's pretty cheap in my opinion.

#

I see reaper has directly replied to me, but you've taken no issue with that. Interesting....

#

But anyway, yeah, I spend over $1000 a week just in gasoline.

random skiff
#

That is absolutely insane and you need help.

grand pilot
#

I mean, it's my livelihood.

#

I have no choice.

random skiff
#

Not for long at that rate. That is a full blown addiction.

#

Unless you are making at least 10x that amount it's not sustainable.

grand pilot
#

Well, the gas is tax deductible. I have fifteen men working for me, three men to a truck, five trucks visiting three states every single week.

#

I own an HVAC company.

#

A small one, obviously, but I do well.

random skiff
#

How is GTA your livelihood, I dread to ask.

#

Streaming it can not pay that well after this amount of time post-release.

grand pilot
#

Oh, I think I

#

must have accidentally confused you! 🤣

#

I was just comparing the cost of a console to what I spend on gasoline.

random skiff
grand pilot
#

haha, I

#

dammit, big thumbs... I'm sorry,! 🙂

#

I don't mind dropping a grand on a console. I was a hardcore PC gamer for a long time, building a new rig every year and all that, but ultimately it comes down to convenience. Much easier to just buy a console. I don't have time to be building rigs anymore.

random skiff
#

I honestly didn't think that anyone in real life called it a "rig". I've only ever seen that in jokes.

grand pilot
#

We used to, it's been quite some time. Ten years? Maybe people no longer call them rigs? I dunno.

#

We can't post pics here?

#

Rather, I can't?

random skiff
#

No one can, correct.

#

Otherwise this channel would just a meme focused one.

grand pilot
#

Well, then a quote will suffice

random skiff
#

You flat-out do not need to build a new PC each year to keep up with tech.
get a good base setup, get it custom built so it's made specially for you, then replace bits as they go bad.

grand pilot
shut fox
grand pilot
#

I can get twice the PC for the cost of a prebuilt. Got some links?

random skiff
#

That was true about 15 years ago, although twice is a stretch.

grand pilot
#

I also neglected to point out that I loathe Windows.

shut fox
#

just because most pre-builts come with windows doesn't mean you can't setup a dual boot with a linux distro or completely replace it.

#

you can still customize everything, software and hardware, just because it's made for you doesn't mean it's all locked

grand pilot
#

All of my PC's are linux. (Mint Cinnamon) made the switch in 2016.

shut fox
#

i have a dual boot with windows 10 and manjaro

grand pilot
#

And I can pick up those GeForce RTX 4090's for $200 direct. Not sure how any prebuilt PC can match that.

shut fox
random skiff
#

Where outside of wish.com is settling a 4090 for that price?

grand pilot
#

The other issue I have with Windows is, I

#

I've never had a Windows PC that didn't crash or freeze...

random skiff
#

So you're all fine then?

#

hah, grammar striker.

shut fox
grand pilot
shut fox
grand pilot
#

Whoops, sorry for direct reply.

random skiff
#

Wait so let me get this straight.
you are buying a console for 1 game because you don't want to build a PC yourself. but also don't want to buy a pre-owned because it could be cheaper?

shut fox
grand pilot
#

No, I don't want to buy a pre-built because if I'm going to have a PC again, I'll build a better one for the same price. But, for now, I'd rather buy a console because it's less hassle than building a pc.

random skiff
#

I genuinely feel dumber for having read this chat today, but that's my fault for forgetting what it's like.

grand pilot
#

I suppose I could buy a gaming laptop, but let's be honest, you'll never get the same performance out of a laptop as a full-sized PC

shut fox

my first laptop could just about run Portal 1, oblivion, and half life 2 in 2010 and honestly I miss having one.

shut fox
#

i remember my first laptop i used to play fallout new vegas and modded it to hell lmao

#

the toaster i had back then couldn't handle the reshade presets and texture overhauls but now i can do all that and then some on the one i have

random skiff
#

I was stuck with a ps3 for fallout 3/skyrim, but eh they ran fine.

grand pilot
#

My brother has a nice gaming laptop, he runs the latest MS Flight Sim on it and uses VR. But I can't remember what kind it is, I'll have to ask him. Oh, and @random skiff I meant to reply and forgot: You asked "Where outside of wish.com is settling a 4090 for that price?" Having family and friends in the military overseas provides some incredible purchasing benefits. Service members regularly buy stuff overseas and send it home. Everything from automobiles, jewelry, whatever.

no no no apply for EVERY job is the proper strategy

#

and make sure your resume doesn't have anything that will be flagged by their resume checking software and thrown in the bin. human people don't read resumes anymore. except for the final few candidates deemed suitable by the software.

#

for instance, I have a six year gap in my work history that continues to grow because my dad got early onset alzheimers and dementia and started needing 24hr supervision and care. So I left my job (for this and other reasons) got rid of my house and moved in at my parents house so I could be that guy bc I started taking care of alzheimer's family members when I was 16. so thats gonna be a tough nut to crack when its time for me to start working again.

i went to a trade school for architectural drafting. i graduated in 2008 right when the US economy sht the bed and no one was hiring. I was by far the quickest and most accurate in the class. i know because why else would the teacher use my work as an example to the other students after an assignment where most of the students did poorly?

anyway, i kept in touch with my classmates for networking purposes and after a year the only one who found a job was the dumbest, slowest person in the class (but very cool and nicee) because his wealthy daddy had connections

#

when i ran into him he even told me theyre always riding his arse because he's too slow and that he couldnt believe I hadn't gotten hired anywhere. so at least he knew it was nepotism. i like that guy a lot. but he just got lucky

For a side gig if you know anyone who needs caregiver assistance, like your parents or another relative, you can get paid for it through your state program

#

I’d suggest cold calling to get past automated resume checkers. I would combine that with online submissions to get the highest chances of return calls

#

If they have a voicemail, leave one

#

If the site is close to where you live, go there in person and submit your resume

#

You want to be a bit more proactive in your job hunting than just passively posting resumes into an online site

#

Since 95% of resumes online are never read

rugged lava
#

i mean i started taking care of my alzheimers family members when i was 16 and my dad is the 4th one so i have experience but no formal training

The beauty is that you don’t need prior training. Your designated participant or authorized rep can bypass that. At least in my state

Yeah, if you are already taking care of your family members you’re already set. Just tell the nurse who is usually going to be assessing how many work hours the participant needs that you already have experience in grooming/bathing/cooking/etc for them

i’ve said it before, but, to reiterate lol
if the division and assassin’s creed were to be in a shared universe, the SHD would be working for the Templar Order (willingly or not)

would then be pretty funny if the crossover trailer was all the SHD working with the Assassins

It's important to remember that IMDB is not always 100% accurate. They quite often confuse one acter with the same name as another one.

and the "trivia" section is at best 60% accurate.

i have yet to see a Credits section not be accurate. IMDB takes the credits directly from the sources of hollywood and studios. trivia section, yes, plenty of nonsense in there, i scour plenty of movies, shows and games for inaccurate stuff and get it removed or edit it to be proper.

random skiff

Okay I read your initial message wrong before, you were saying that the movie cast was updated to say Jake Gyllenhaal.
What confused me about that is that we've known about him being in the movie (and it's been listen on IMDB) since at least march 2019.

Don't even worry about it. I wasn't upset or anything. I was just like.. damn. I'm taking care of my dad right now watching him have Alzheimer's and I was like sht please don't remind me lol. Just a silly coincidence that u said that

So what's the damn issue, it's been like that for ages now.

# random skiff Anyone tried Jade Shadows update for Warframe yet?

Its quite decent, from what i've played. Only ran the mission a handful of times, somewhere less than 10 runs with a friend, each took like 10 minutes or so. No drops of any of Jade's parts or her weapons, but the pity system from Dante is here too, so it wont be that terrible.

random skiff
#

The quest itself is nice, short but very interesting for the lore and answers some questions I've had for about the last 10 years.

the fact that we can buy the parts from Ordis is super nice, even if it is very pricy, understandably so.

I hope so, I'm glad that some people remember we had Deus ex way before cyberpunk 2077 (I'm not saying that CB2077 is bad, the game is one of the best open world IMO, but sometimes I prefer the darker and more serious vibe from Deus ex.)

the customization is really neat

you choose how your op looks,what they wear,guns have reasonable level of customization,more than warzone less than tarkov i think

#

team comms seem fine,they figured out the key layouts so that not everything is clunky

#

also support mods too

#

my issue is that they focus on the milsim roleplay too much

the AI is just straight up stupid

i saw a video a while back that talks about the state of tactical realism shooters

and they all run down the same rabbit hole:cosplaying

#

sounds real to me

sacred snow
#

its too focused on looking good

#

like whats the gear you're using or the guns and attachments

#

and animation,sway,etc

random skiff
#

Too much video-game in their video-game, and not enough incredibly boring technical stuff?

sacred snow
#

but then they become hyper focused in those aspects to the point of forgetting about the actual "game"

#

no its actually the opposite

#

i bought ground branch yesterday

#

its one of the supposedly "better" tactical shooters

#

the customization is really in depth,they even have these really small details right,voip,proximity chat,all those stuff thats realistic and also makes you feel cool

random skiff
#

For reference: I am firmly in the camp that they should be boring to an extent.
even something like SWAT 4 wasn't exactly exciting to look at.

sacred snow
#

but then when i go into an actual mission its ehhhhhh

#

the maps seem meh,AI is dumb

#

you ever play swat 4 and suddenly the crackhead gets a spiritual awakening and gun down 5 heavily armed SWAT officers like its John Wick

#

yea imagine that being the norm in ground branch

#

they dont have actual visions,their tactics seem nonexistent as they just bump charge you if you're behind cover

#

they dont emit any audio beyond like 3 generic grunt lines like "they got one of ours",see through pitch dark despite not having NVGs

frozen sparrow
sacred snow
#

literally

sacred snow
#

also has the weird spongy problem where they can take like 3 shots to kill them

#

i refunded it just right before the 2 hour mark

#

another tactical game i played was ready or not which is actually pretty cool

#

their AI is neat and overall it just seems more polished

#

its less focused on muh realism and more on yknow actually having a game to play

random skiff
#

from what I recall, "ready or not" is something of a spirituatl successor to swat 4.

sacred snow
#

yup yup

#

its just their content drop rate is really really slow

#

it does support modding tho so helps a bit more

#

someone modded a bunch of swat 4 maps into it

#

for an indie game its way more polished than a lot of AAA games nowadays

#

also they actually did the school level

random skiff
#

Is it fully out yet or early access?

sacred snow
#

its officially out now

#

been that for a while

#

the content drop is just really slow but there are mods

random skiff
#

Once it was fully released from early access, would you say that the game had enough content to justify the price tag, assuming someone is into that genre?

#

not like now, but at the time of 1.0 release.

sacred snow
#

for 15 dollars at my region i'd say its worth the cost if you're into the SWAT games stuff

#

decent amount of content,the AI is really solid compared to a lot of the other competitors out there

#

best played with friends but thats just all games

random skiff
#

Hard disagree on that last part.

#

especially this genre.

sacred snow
#

it depends on what kind of friends you get on

#

if its the average silly ahh friend yea i get it

random skiff
#

Nope, it depends if you like playing with others or solo more.

sacred snow
#

they'll probably shoot you for shit n giggle

i got into a discord with other peoples who's into that too,well used to anyway

random skiff
#

Okay let's say I did do CoOp, is it playable with someone not using a mic?

sacred snow
#

oooooh thats just completely dependant on luck

#

like you'd sometimes get the silent one that does what you need them to do

#

most of the times its just people bum rushing and dying to crackheads lol

#

me when my teammate thinks this is call of duty and kills 4 people by not checking if the door has a tripwire or not

#

thats just the nature of coop games imo

#

getting "good" coop mates is literally luck based or if you have people to do it with

random skiff
#

Plenty of CoOp games do not require a mic, I'm asking if this one does, or if it's necessary and the communication systems otherwise kinda suck.

sacred snow
#

require as in the game requires you to have one to even play or require as in "must use for a good experience"

#

its the latter

#

try shutting it down from task manager and boot it up again

#

the good ol "turn it off and on again"

random skiff
#

A game like GTFO is tactical-ish and effectively requires a mic, would you say Ready or Not is like that?

sacred snow
#

honestly for casual play no

#

GTFO is like really really rough on the coop side last i heard,difficulty wise

#

ready or not is just not gonna be on the same level of intensity

#

as long as none of yall bum rush a room it should be fine

#

but then again the latst time i played it was 3 months ago and my last coop game had someone dying to a crackhead wall banging

#

because he didnt check all the rooms AFTER i asked him if its all clear and he said yes

frozen sparrow
#

it's like that one movie with the woman and the drugs inside her and she becomes op

#

the crack is making them ascend

sacred snow
#

yup, Lucy

#

she literally transcends humanity by having a bag of crack inside her breaking

#

like the first half was convincing enough,generic action movie stuff nothing too shabby

#

later on she manipulates electricity,forcefields,mind control,literal telepathy

#

read people's mind,see into the past AND future

#

in the end she uploaded all her knowledge onto a computer and literally dusts away

#

like seriously what the fuck

frozen sparrow
#

i think it could work if they were a bit more obscure and mysterious and arcane with it, sorta like if it was made by Stephen King or Jordan Peele

#

idk i havent watched it lol

despite not even being that good

the only thing I know about that movie is that she became a USB or something.

sacred snow

where they created a paradox where they born themselves,sent them to the orphanage to grow up,go thru life,born a child,go thru a transition,become an agent of a time travelling agency hunting a terrorist

#

and the terrorist turns out to be the same person doing acts of terrorism to prevent even worse tragedies like wha

we know why he milked it
he needed that money for not so great reasons

politics aside i just think its a damn shame

#

ending at 3 would've been peak

#

4 feels an extension of 3 which is sorta ok but then they invented the bite of 83

frozen sparrow
#

4 is just filler lol

#

i was more or less clocked out when 4 came out and i don't regret that at all

sacred snow
#

if bite of 83 wasnt a thing it'd have been an ok thing tbh

#

did we ever know what was in the box lol

#

then sister location happened and it was whatever

#

the whole ennard thing is stupid

#

fnaf 6 was a "real" ending which in itself is actually ok imo

#

the story went to shit but at least it was wrapped up nicely

until steel wool happened

#

pretty sure it was Scott's intentions to murk Afton for good in 6

#

and they just said "lol,lmao even"

#

its not the worst game ive ever seen but it sure as hell is the most dreadful one to see people play through,or even play it for myself

#

gave up halfway because its just that boring

#

i sure hope we dont get any more fnaf media for like,10 more years

#

or ever,they can milk the books or movies idrc just dont make another game like ever

#

i saw a take before that goes something like "fnaf isn't scary because thats not what Scott wanted" and i think its a fair take

At an amusement park and like 90% of people are holding or smoking a vape

oh i remember when cigarettes used to be cool. go into a restaurant and they ask you smokning section or non smoking section.. and they put you in the non smoking section which is just as smoked out as the rest of the building lol

Good god. a huge branch got broken off a tree in my back yard in a storm last night, which is not unusual. but somehow the wind carried it like 20 feet across the yard. normally the branch just lands directly below the tree. but somehow the wind threw this several hundred pound branch way across the yard

I remember before 2020 my highschool had this smoking zone where people could go smoke at. Since 2020 they got rid of it and thus beyond vapes became popular

oh yea for sure. smokers just smoked in the bathrooms at my school. the only consequence was to put it out and flush the butt down the toilet

drop shopping is very oversaturated

#

imo the "big" side husltes only worked when they werent big

#

find something your good at and attempt to market it

#

so ig marketting could be your side hustle.

#

me personally I do home server and network installs (cabling through house sometimes ground) it mainly works cuz theres not many people who do it and im already in the networking industry

#

thats how almost all my buddies found decent money side hustles

#

some niche within your industry that could be marketted

#

unless your still a kid then my advice would be dont worry about side hustles now, get a decent part time job and be a kid

dammit. my 11 year old nephew is visiting with his family and he literally will not give me one second alone. he just stands next to me while im doing anything and continously says "watch this" and then plays me a stupid tik tok or plays some game on his phone. i need a better lock on my bedroom door

i dont mind hanging out with him but there has to be a limit. we already played football and then built a gun out of scrap cardboard for like 2 hours. but that is not enough

last night I was driving back to my part of town after they had fireworks here. I'd been at my buddy's house uptown. huge line of cars leaving the beach/park, slowly. some dipsht was on the wrong side of the road trying to bypass all the traffic and we ended up headlights to headlights. so i just layed on the horn for 30 seconds while they finally got someone to let them back in to their side of the road. the cops weren't far away, i was blasting the horn to try to get their attention

Which is longer than the m4a1, which is quite literally said by developers that the lvoa is the m4 but better with less range and worse recoil

I need a new gaming headset. anyone got any suggestions? I'm done with hyperX cloud II S or whatever bc I've had two pairs now that just stopped working after 3.5 years. probably a coincidence but its enough to scare me off, plus the mic decides when to work and when not to work.

random skiff
#

The best advice I ever got about headsets like that is a) don't bother getting one with a mic because, ya know. and b) don't bother getting one with a mic because it means the overall quality of the product suffers for having 2 things built-in.

tl;dr buy a separate mic and headphones, if space is limited there are some decent clip-on ones, so I've been told.

#

"gaming" anything tends to be of lower quality overall than non-gaming stuff.

rugged lava
#

ah good idea

#

i have a music recording mic that i could set up on the stand, i just have to run it through a box that lets me plug in xlr cables through it. which is a little clunky but it would sound great. a cheap one that doesn't require that kind of space cluttering equipment would be much easier though

random skiff
#

for headphones, it sounds like a cliche but genuinely: don't overspend. Don't buy overly cheap either, but a good low-mid price range set will work perfectly for most of your needs.
What kind of sound you want from them is important too. Most Gaming stuff tends to be a bit bassy for me, I like it flat as.

rugged lava
#

im looking to spend btwn 75-150 USD probably

#

for me one of the most important factors is the thickness of the ear pads. or at least the ability to buy better replacement ear pads

Audio Technica are good for that. They're a nice solid construction, and have replacable cloth pads.

rugged lava

alright thank you i will look at that brand

oh my god i find myself behind people who stop at green lights, in the middle of an intersection. not turning, just eventually going straight. hesitation and over caution is dangerous

some dipsht yestrday was stopped at a green light with the intention of making a left turn the wrong way onto a one way street

For me it was at roundabouts where certain cars were turning left without a signal and I was waiting for them to pass. Another one may have been when i was meant to take a left turn but a truck was blocking the way and i never got into the lane
