[sacred snow]

it has a cult worshipping it,of course it's not gonna die

[hollow yarrow]

Auuuu rich people apple phoen ygshhey

[shy vine]

that too 20...

Apple now makes it a statement.. not a purpose

He made it a purpose.

[hollow yarrow]

I stopped buying their shit, I just keep my shitty IPhone 6

[shy vine]

Exactly

[sacred snow]

what's the major difference between iphone X,11,12 and even 13 asides from 1 more camera and being slightly larger than the last?

[shy vine]

They are now using the latest Samsung tech

[hollow yarrow]

Numbers lmao

[sacred snow]

it's bo3,infinite warfare and advanced warfare all over again

[shy vine]

thats literally it

[hollow yarrow]

Red Magic tho...

Red magic? What was it called again..

[shy vine]

Hell if i recall

[sacred snow]

red magic 6

[hollow yarrow]

Yeah, Red Magics are actually pretty good.

Allegedly at least

[sacred snow]

lets talk video games now:vanguard ain't looking good

[hollow yarrow]

But Battlefield looks insane

Wait, wait. Didn’t COD go with WWII and Battlefield go with some Modern stuff a decade ago

[sacred snow]

based,but launch maps aren't looking great.i mean,only 6?Portal kinda fixes it but they need some new maps,really

[hollow yarrow]

I would actually fucking love some floating islands with battlefield.

[shy vine]

Portal i think is the saving grace of BF6

[hollow yarrow]

unrealistic, but it’s fucking battlefield.

[shy vine]

But granted BF4 was TERRIBLE at launch.. now its considered the best so.. who knows

[frozen sparrow]

with how it seems to utterly suck I feel like it’s just a holdover to provide warzone content and save the budget for bigger games later

[hollow yarrow]

Battlefield is a grower, not a shower.

They listen to criticism most of the time.

[shy vine]

Almost like they are doubling down on Warzone holding the franchise for now on

sadly

[frozen sparrow]

sadly that is likely

[sacred snow]

warzone won't die,cod is long gone now

[shy vine]

thats the issue though

Warzone, is its own thing.. not CoD in any way

[frozen sparrow]

there’ll probably be a few more remasters for the og fans

undoubtedly bundled with warzone content again, I’d bet money on that

[shy vine]

Again MW2019 had it right.. a new engine.. maluable to make remasters all they want.. had enough to it to cater to new games.. it was just.. near perfect.. but Warzone will kill it

[sacred snow]

correction:they did

[runic ginkgo]

Mw is my love but now I stopped playing it

[shy vine]

I used to love it too, but its neglect to Warzone was kind of a let down

They could have rebooted the whole MW franchise.. easily

[runic ginkgo]

Warzone for me its unoptimized if I am not wrong

[shy vine]

But nope.. money in warzone first

[runic ginkgo]

I am a AMD user

[frozen sparrow]

||well they kinda tried, then they reminded everyone how much better mw2 was XD||

[shy vine]

Its not a bad game btw, Warzone. For a BR it tells all it needs.. it works.

But for a CoD game.. it killed MW

Activision seen money and lept

[runic ginkgo]

Why I think cod van guard is a little bit copy of bf games

[sacred snow]

mw2019 is a good(won't go much into here and i don't really 100% agree with this) game,but holy shit it's far from a good reboot for the original mw games in terms of lore

[shy vine]

Yeah as far as Lore.. I kind of liked the idea but it seriously need a 2 and 3

[sacred snow]

the campaign's boring af,yeah it excels in the gameplay but the lore is just...ew

[shy vine]

Instead we got.. Warzone

and more warzone..

[sacred snow]

oh remember Soap?he's introduced in mw final season,in a CUTSCENE

[frozen sparrow]

I don’t think the gameplay was all that great either, I can’t remember half the levels

[shy vine]

yeah -_-

[frozen sparrow]

and he looks like a nonce

[sacred snow]

the only good parts are the raid missions

[sacred snow]

a fucking muppet like him,how did he get pass character creation?

[shy vine]

Again.. they seen Warzone $$$$

fuck all else

[sacred snow]

Ghost was there too...lame

[frozen sparrow]

the Ghost redesign sucks

[shy vine]

From a business standpoint, i understand, from a game company.. who KNEW the fan base (at least I thought) its crying shame

"How could they butcher my boy?!"

type of thing...

Which to relate to Division 2.. im afraid Massive might fall into

See something that works well for cash inflow, and disregard the rest of the game that it was founded on

Ubi is hurting atm

I just fear this and other franchises is gonna get axed due to that reason

Look at R6.. that abomination they made with mutants or whatever

lol

Touche

[sacred snow]

i'm sorry Palpatine,not everyone masters the dark side of the force

[frozen sparrow]

speaking of which... I love how R6S has fallen so far that I didn’t even hear about this

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TvOW_wGsEts

I been doing Comp Animation since i was 16, so when i took that course.. i had a LOT of eye rolling

[shy vine]

Smart man.. job security lol

Never a lack of people needing medical care though

[runic ginkgo]

Medical really sucks but I am interested in biology

[shy vine]

Could have a gravitational shift, emitting emp's inhibiting technology.. but medical... always need a medic.

[runic ginkgo]

Where are you from man

[runic ginkgo]

Right xD

[shy vine]

Asking me or Odder?

[runic ginkgo]

Both of you

[shy vine]

Oh..

TN, USA

[runic ginkgo]

Noice

Me live in Pakistan Asia

I am Asian guy xD

[shy vine]

(total stereotype) Oh you good at math yeah! lol

No wonder you went medical.. science and math go hand in hand after all

[runic ginkgo]

I am interested in gaming but in all games mostly I like open world games like GTA rdr etc

[runic ginkgo]

I am good at maths but now its not in my subject :(

[shy vine]

Open worlds offer the most amount of freedom outside MMO's

[runic ginkgo]

Yup

[shy vine]

So creativity is high with how operate.

[runic ginkgo]

D2 is best but ubi need to focus on it instead of making the new division game

Because it is much active

And they can make it active more

[frozen sparrow]

not the ubi way

[shy vine]

On one hand.. im all for a Div3 or whatever they want to call it.. but also I really dont think Div 2 is done yet, a new full expansion could flesh out a lot more of the story i think

[runic ginkgo]

Hope so

BTW nice to meet you man

[shy vine]

Same

Div2.. the way it left off after the specific one eyed woman.. >_>

I think they could do a lot more of the story

I never read the Clancy novels so not sure how much material they have to go on though, For the Division that is.

[runic ginkgo]

I also don't know what's in novel xD

[frozen sparrow]

as far as I know they didn’t entirely need a novel

[shy vine]

I should really get around to reading them.. not sure how much the game kept true to source material but out of the other Clancy books/series iv read, im sure to enjoy it

Still think End War was amazing and needs a sequal.. both game and novel

granted with Clancy's death the novel is sort of out the window

[random skiff]

Did Clancy have anything to do with Operation: Dark Winter?

i always kinda half assumed that his name was slapped on this property for the recognition, rather than any contribution.

[shy vine]

Oh I lurk a lot... today is the first time in about a week since iv talked and participated lol

[shy vine]

He had a lot prewrote work but not sure what was made into final books and stuff

Last book i read was actually last year with End War.. late to the game i know

[random skiff]

idk, I mean he sold the license 8 years before div1 came out, I'm sure he didn't have much contribution to div1.

[shy vine]

So not sure hat was published post death

I want to say he did with Div1, but div 2 i dont think he had any part of

i could be very wrong though

[random skiff]

here ya go, for future reference: https://www.wired.com/2008/03/ubisoft-picks-u/

20th of March, 2008. In case ya can't open the link.

[shy vine]

Link wouldnt open, so thanks 😛

[random skiff]

nw, I've got that saved now for whenever someone tries to pull the "clancy had creative control for div1" in the lore chat. 😜

[shy vine]

lol nice

thats a tricky subject

[lost girder]

the only novel that could even be remotely taken as "source material" is probably the original r6 novel, which seems to be what was remixed into div.

[lost girder]

the claim is that he was somehow asked to collab on the concept, something ive yet to find any mention towards. its gotta be some kinda urban legend.

or some kinda confusion, since the claim was that "broken dawn" was the name of the concept story (instead of just the tie-in novel).

[random skiff]

Well I guess there had to be one at some point, although div is based on a real simulated operation. "Operation: Dark Winter".
I guess I'd have to go researching it, I might one day but right now it seems fairly mundane.

[amber horizon]

It was just "how will USA do vs a coordinated viral attack?" And the result was: badly

[random skiff]

riv, dontsayitdontsayitdontsayit

[runic ginkgo]

Is rdr 2 on steam is worth it with story or just I need to buy online only in sale

[crude flax]

It’s a really good story I’d recommend playing it

[runic ginkgo]

I played it but I complete it only one time on my friends account but I played only story missions not any side activities

[sour moon]

Anyone play on xbox?

Is the series s worth it only to play game pass?

[slender verge]

if you don't care for high resolution and/or high performance, yeah the series s is a great value when paired with game pass. you're gonna notice the lack of horsepower in a couple of years, though.

but Division 2 on any platform will always get a recommendation from me

[shy vine]

Yea I have the xbox series s and it has worked consistently for over 2 years now (i think its been 2 years)

although I did notice a drop in rendering power as well as frames for things like raids with too many entities to generate

[sour moon]

@shy vine series s the one that came out along side series x last year

@slender verge I don’t really mind playing at high resolutions, but it’s for £250 which is cheap and durable for a couple years unlike xbox ones

[novel relic]

High resolutions and high performance? Most of the games still run flawlessly on the regular Xbox one, imagine in Series S.

Game pass and series S is all you need, there's really no games right now that use the power of the new gen yet, so yeah go for it

Most Xbox one games are enhanced for Series S|X

[shy vine]

Oh lol Time during the pandemic feels different

[amber horizon]

So, how about that airplane food?

[shy vine]

which kind

[amber horizon]

Who knows

[lost plover]

I mean what’s up with that

[slender verge]

Has anyone had any issues with Div 2 running on Windows 11? Official release is tomorrow. I've been running it on my Surface for weeks now and absolutely love it, but i dont want to put it on my gaming desktop until we have some info on game compatibility. thought id ask here first 😋

[hallow elk]

you guys ever wonder why and how or what is making squid game pretty popular nowadays?

[shy vine]

Works fine for me, same with all my other games, really I havent noticed any difference to Win11 over 10 on anything I use. Just now my start menu looks different and obvious UI changes.. outside that programs and stuff run just fine.

[hallow elk]

Well shit

Just saw some thunder outside

[shy vine]

..you saw... thunder...

[amber horizon]

And lightning? Very, very frightening.

[shy vine]

lol Queen is great btw 😛

[hallow elk]

Watching squid game then pow

I see it

[halcyon crater]

I‘m also watching it atm, it‘s freaky. Many cool stuff from Korea these days, like train to Busan or parasite.

Squid game is quite errrrrrm ….. merciless? 😁

[sacred snow]

idk,squid game looks like budget "As the Gods Will"

[hallow elk]

I’m just not getting how its growing popularity

[amber horizon]

Afaik it wasnt marketed much in the US, so when someone says "hey watch this show about a death game with children's games" and you've straight up never heard of it, you'll likely atleast look it up

[frozen sparrow]

I saw it on netflix recently and I thought “that doesn’t look like something I want to watch at all” and then next day it was blowing up everywhere

[amber horizon]

I read the blurb on netflix and said the same thing, p much

Then ny entire friend group was collectively like "hey have u seen squid game"

[sacred snow]

it was lame,the character was uninteresting af,the story was lame as well

[amber horizon]

ok

[sacred snow]

Ok

[amber horizon]

Ok

[silk vale]

did they not remake Far Cry 3?

[late vine]

Aren't all far cry games since 3 basically just remakes with a few enhancements and new settings?

[silk vale]

they are charging £201 for all the mainline Far Cry games on the store but for that much they might aswell add Far Cry New Dawn and Far Cry Primal in the bundle aswell

i think UbiSoft should just Kill Assassins Creed and Far Cry already seem them games have been around for over 10+ years now... Assassins Creed and Far Cry is just the samething every game but the setting of the game is changed.. just as bad as FIFA Games..

[frozen sparrow]

I thought the Ghost Recon announcement said “fortnite” for a second

Oh my god

78 likes to 283 dislikes XD

[hallow elk]

god damn

[frozen sparrow]

This is the twentieth anniversary? Holy shit I feel bad for GR fans

[amber horizon]

oh sora is the last fighter

[hallow elk]

yep

not too bad of a choice imo

[amber horizon]

i am now 20 bucks richer

[frozen sparrow]

sora was a pretty good choice imho

[amber horizon]

yeah, i'm cool with it

sakurai said that this fighters pass is a celebration of gaming or whatever, and they got
-minmin (not the best but hey, its nintendo so like fair)
-minecraft which is huge
-sephiroth, which is also huge
-pyra and mythra which made a good section of the community very happy
-kazuya, from a rival fighting game
and then sora who is disney's fan character p much

[frozen sparrow]

Bandana Waddle Dee will be in the next smash game then I guess 😔

[sacred snow]

i think they did the give-away of ghost recon 1 cuz that game was a fps with multiplayer.

when i played that game a couple years ago, i had to completely remap all the buttons.

OG r6/gr controls are weird as hell.

I really liked GR future soldier and wildlands very much. Wildlands pvp is awesome, breakpoint was … well nice also.

The 4 vs 4 matches are far better than all this „battle royal“ bullshit that followed.

[hallow elk]

I’m only interested in the cloak suits coming to breakpoint

[sturdy igloo]

Ghost Recon Frontlines, X-Defiant, Divison Homelands whos playing them all

[late vine]

I strongly suspect I'll be playing none of them at any point, not my cup of tea

[random skiff]

as long as it's not purely PvP, I'll give Heartland a go.

[sturdy igloo]

Extraction might be up your alley

[random skiff]

Extraction?

[sturdy igloo]

yeah its more coop

[random skiff]

is that a ghost recon thing or something?

[sturdy igloo]

yeah its Rainbow Six

[random skiff]

Wait, is this Siege style Rainbow Six or OG R6?

[sturdy igloo]

its the traditional R6...but with monsterssss

[random skiff]

well that's uh, yeah gonna give that one a miss. I'd like to remember that franchise as it once was.

ta anyway.

[restive mist]

I have several questions

[frozen sparrow]

it’s Siege turned into a PvE shooter

[sacred snow]

What would be Sandstorm

Extraction is more like cod zombies but with Siege elements

Minus the fun too

Or to be more precise,Warface zombies operation(given you played it)

[frozen sparrow]

really? I thought it had a mission structure not wave survival

[sacred snow]

Well if you take the Easter eggs a bit too serious

Or just Outbreak mode to be the most precise

[untold vigil]

3 new Free to Play Ubisoft titles. :/

[turbid sequoia]

wuff

like i like Div 1 and Div 2 i like BP and the the both GRAW 1 & 2 GRFS but i uh

yea that frontline one was a letdown i dunno how to say it any other way

[turbid sequoia]

like i can see why they went for a br cus well marketing and shareholders but like with the amount of battle royale games but in all honesty its one of the worst calls they could have done, look at the losing your long term core fanbase for short term gain, i mean people where skeptical on the route of the franchise very much so between well the recent games being what they are, well meh wildlands and breakpoint where ok even tho at that start its an overwhelming time to grind to the missions that just left right center tossed at you Div 2 was fun but i mean it gets old after a while and the playerbase is becoming increasingly restless along with what remains of BP im trying my best to be atleast constructive on this but like cmon a battle royale game of all things

[sturdy igloo]

Ubisoft wants that Warzone/Fortnite money and they'll turn anything into a BR to achieve it at all costs cause stonks growth demands it

[turbid sequoia]

you dont even need to call it that there is an even simpler term

microstransactions

[sturdy igloo]

They just need to pump that valuation, no matter what

[shy vine]

hello does some expieriecing long initilazing or unable downloads games in ubisoft connect?

[late vine]

yeah, the servers seem to be a bit hit-and-miss recently

keep trying and it should magically start working at some point (if you're lucky)

[shy vine]

ok for now somehow deleting chase solve my donwload issue what happend to ubisoft server like i was nearing nuclear option (reboting pc).

it's unlikely the problem was at your end, they're being dodgy for everyone

Gta trilogy remaster is coming who is excited xD

[novel relic]

Idk man

It's mostly nostalgia, my fav GTAs are 4>SA>5>VC>3

A SA remake would be dope

[lost girder]

i re-beat gta3 in the last year, dont really want to do it again.

i bet they add a bunch of QoL stuff

namely an overview map, and a mini map that shows locations even after the tutorial mission that introduces them.

[idle spindle]

https://imgur.com/gallery/i17ALhd

[random skiff]

Finding out that they're removing the 3 older games from all digital sales and replacing them with the remasters has put something of a dampener on optimism.

[sacred snow]

you mean the GTA remasters?

yeah Rockstar is kind of a douche when it comes to those kind of stuff

[random skiff]

Sorry, thought the context was pretty clear from the convo, but yeah the remasters.

[sacred snow]

im not good at following convos but my bad

[random skiff]

nw. tbh I kinda expected them to be pulled already, Rockstar really like to cheap-out with paying off music licenses as-is.
I'm kinda shocked that some have lasted this long.

[lost girder]

huh, wonder if the gta3 remaster will still have the ost to the movie scarface?

i watched the movie after i played the game, it's a little weird when you watch a movie for the first time but already know all the songs.

[forest abyss]

With this sort of behavior, I'm on the fence about buying the trilogy or not. I was also reminded of a quote I saw somewhere that pretty much summed up that the Rockstar of now is not the Rockstar when they made those three 3D Universe games, just like the Rareware of now is not the Rareware that made Banjo Kazooie, Conker, Perfect Dark and GoldenEye oo7 of old.

[amber horizon]

@solemn veldt i thiiiink i've guarenteed myself either childe or hutao, probably childe because then i can say i have all hydro characters and thats funny to me

And i'll just save the rest of my primos for hutao

[solemn veldt]

that’s pretty fuckin soliiiiid 🕺🕺

honestly i’m just saving up for hu tao as of now 🥴

[amber horizon]

Hu tao is really good, but her c1 makes her actually nutty for phys dps

[solemn veldt]

yeah, i’ve seen some crazy shit from hu tao mains

it’s almost terrifying 😭😭

[amber horizon]

I'm lokey saving for raiden's eventual rerun, she got me back into the game and i gotta get her c2

[solemn veldt]

i saw raiden gameplay last night, she looks pretty fuckin cool tbh i’d definitely pull for her 😌

[amber horizon]

She is a powerhouse, she's super fun. Needs a bit of a team around her to really pull numbers but she is still maindps worthy

I'm pretty much just looking for kazuha to come back, then the raiden big numbers team will really shine

[solemn veldt]

there’s still so much i’ve yet to learn about the game lmao, i started months ago then had to stop cuz of storage shortages and my old phone. but now that i bagged an iphone 12 i’m ready to hit the damn grindstone again 😼

[amber horizon]

If you need help, ping me your uid and i'll pop in and help ya where i can!

[solemn veldt]

i’ll be sure to let you know! super excited to play the shit outta this game 🕺

whats goin on, rake?

im trying to draw a masssssive cargo plane made for BTSU

but im trying to find a good reference picture of the plane that starts to land when you reach the tarmac on DH

and theres like maybe 4 planes i plan on using that come from DH

all BTSU

you have the 2 on the tarmac (only one is parked and the other is landing) 1 where weasel, dizzy and ricochet is at and the plane thats holding the crate at the end near razorback

im assuming that one is the one thats landing

[solemn veldt]

@amber horizon i did a ten pull for the hell of it on childe’s banner and got ningguang 💀

i’m gonna throw a penguin at another penguin i swear to god

[amber horizon]

dont do ningguang like that

lmao she’s not half bad imo

[amber horizon]

sure she aint like, the best of the best

but she's capable

[solemn veldt]

i just really need to get her up to level with everyone else that i got on me

i should also probably get xiangling before i inevitably forget 💀

have you tried the bread bank

they sell bread, they sell loafs

[late vine]

you're not in Sudan, are you?

[frozen sparrow]

bread on deck bread on the floor

[random skiff]

Actually my local place is out of it too, people panic-buy every time the numbers are brought up.
it's really irritating.

[frozen sparrow]

i’m the motherfuckin m a n a g e r

[late vine]

England is terrible for panic-buying, every few months the media bring up some story about potential shortages, causing every idiot to go out and panic buy, thus guaranteeing the shortages actually occur

Eh, I mentioned Sudan because I'd literally just been reading a news thing on the BBC about bread shortages in Khartoum

"The shortages are understood to have been caused by protests in eastern Sudan, which have blocked roads and forced Red Sea ports to close in recent weeks."

would Calgary be affected by red sea port closures? My knowledge of that area's geography is a bit hazy

haha, yeah just realised there's another calgary in Canada, not the one I was thinking of

weird, according to google it's actually Calvary, I must have misremembered

biblical place, so I assumed it was still a location in the middle east, but apparently it's not a current place name

yeah likewise, I think somewhere along the line my brain got it mixed up with the Calgary Stampede and just conflated the names together

no, just heard of it somewhere and the name stuck in my head

[random skiff]

in my case it's Australia.
tbh panic-buying is a thing everywhere when people get told to panic.

[late vine]

I have been to Canada once, but only so far as just over the border to visit Niagra Falls (back in the mid 90s)

I'll do my best to commit that to memory

[random skiff]

lol, yeah that can be a little brutal sometimes.

[late vine]

you guys out of lockdown yet over there?

can you at least buy some flour, make your own?

get a breadmaker, I got one about 10 years ago and have barely bought a single loaf since - they're so easy to use

[random skiff]

in aus? some places are ending, others aren't.
tbh I think we could've done with a bit longer, shore up the numbers more.

[late vine]

yeah, I just noticed Sydney's coming out of lockdown

[random skiff]

107 days, iirc.

the weirdest one is that lactose free long-life milk is always out of stock.
not regular long-life, not even regular milk. it's weird.

[late vine]

Praise the loaf! Freeze it and make it last

[random skiff]

Nah I don't need that type myself, just always notice it.
my aunt always complains about it.

oh freezing bread is great, I freeze everything.
buy that cheap $1.30 loaf from coles/woolies and freeze it straight away.

works great in recipes that need toast, not so much for plain eating tho.

[amber horizon]

Whats the situa a a a a tion

sorry kettle

[amber horizon]

I meant to reply to this but my phone is out to make me seem annoying

[random skiff]

oh, yeah 2 biggest grocery chains here.

Walmart

Target

I hate this phone

lol, Target here is a furniture+electronics+clothes store.

[amber horizon]

Its an everything store in US

[random skiff]

i mean that makes sense, different companies and all.

[amber horizon]

Uhh what else

Dollar general is popular in some places for the "lmao everything is p much a dollar" and still being a competent grocery store

Filled my pantry once with 50 bucks

[random skiff]

oh we've got a few of those, but they're all just full of craft junk and lighters.

[amber horizon]

i need a new lighter

[random skiff]

no single brand name, biggest one used to be called "Dollars and Sense".

and yes, that pun makes me hurt too. I appreciate it.

ooh, how about Aldi?

[amber horizon]

Its a grocery store with a wierd mix of low cost stuff and stupidly priced stuff

And here its Aldis

...i think

Oh my god i've been lied to

It is aldi

[random skiff]

huh, okay yeah very different here.
Aldi is kinda considered the "best" of the big ones here, a lot of people trust it over the "big 2".

they actually stock more local products per shelf/space than the local ones.

nah its all good, i got my answer.

lol

[amber horizon]

I mean theres also a good number of other dedicated grocery stores

Whole foods has the "we r healthy" thing going on (they arent, not really)
Hy-Vee exists i guess

[hallow elk]

Bing bong

[random skiff]

hy-vee sounds like they sell something that is only recently legal.

[hallow elk]

i had a random thought today

[novel relic]

Target smell is so nice

[halcyon crater]

„Where is my mind“

[cursive moat]

is cerial a soup?

[halcyon crater]

I‘d say no, but for what reason? What is the true definition of a soup? That it’s mainly liquid? Then the cereal might be a soup per definition. Or not? Dang you‘re confusing me.

[cursive moat]

thats the point confusion

[sacred snow]

oh boy,the soup analogy begins again

[random skiff]

@sullen merlin actually not a bad time to re-install WF, next major update is dropping before the end of the year, follow up to War Within.

@shy vine luckily, his Relics are incredibly cheap.

[sullen merlin]

Ohhhhhh

[random skiff]

New War bby!

[sullen merlin]

Gotta lotta things dropping end of this year

I'ma be busy that's for sure 😂

[random skiff]

omg have you seen the footage of it? So darn excited!
there's gameplay and I don't wanna spoil it, but like, we get to see the Tenno in a class learning how to use the powers!

[sullen merlin]

I'll have to check it out, sounds pretty interesting though 👀

[random skiff]

@shy vine hah!
wait, how would you use plat to max Deimos? You need Mother Tokens.

[sullen merlin]

I don't think I made it extremely far in Warframe myself, the only Warframe I got besides the main one is Rhino 😂

[random skiff]

Okay here's the big question, did you get to Second Dream?

tl;dr what happens when you press 5?

[shy vine]

Oh you see

[sullen merlin]

Uhhh doesn't ring any bells so I don't believe so.

[shy vine]

i payed people to speedrun bounties for me

i’d just sit at start

[random skiff]

account sharing in WF can get you banned until 2035.

[shy vine]

it’s not account sharing

[random skiff]

oh you mean pay others to run the bounties?

[shy vine]

yes, i just afk

[random skiff]

thats weird mate.

[shy vine]

laziness

[sullen merlin]

Should've paid me to run you through some, I'm poor 😂

[shy vine]

i then used more plat to buy the stuff to rank up

[random skiff]

Mother bounties take like 10mins to get 140+ tokens.

[shy vine]

😂

i just messaged dudes on recently played

only thing i actually did was the vaults

mirage and contagion deleted everything

[random skiff]

@sullen merlin trust me on this, when you re-install just go through the quests.

[shy vine]

^^^^

[sullen merlin]

Gotcha

[shy vine]

finish the story

[sullen merlin]

Also are pets useful? I have that dog thing and trying to upkeep it is crazy

[shy vine]

kavats are the only thing useful

mostly smeeta

[sullen merlin]

Gotcha

I'll reinstall it once I get up tomorrow

[random skiff]

Sentinels are way more useful, however the pets are adorable.
I've had the same Kubrow since like 2016 and he ain't dying anytime soon.

[shy vine]

do you want a shopping list for mods and stuff

[sullen merlin]

Might as well, I'm pretty unsure what's good and helpful and what not

It's a big step up from things like Destiny and Division 😂

[shy vine]

i just realized how big mine is

hmmm

@sullen merlin you want a clan too

[sullen merlin]

I'm already in a buddy's clan don't worry

[shy vine]

aight

[sullen merlin]

Thanks for the offer though

[shy vine]

❤️

[amber horizon]

I'm excited for crossplay, it'll be nice.

[hallow elk]

For what?

[amber horizon]

warframe

[hallow elk]

oh cool

[young sparrow]

but you wont get it

consoles are always back in updates etc

[amber horizon]

They showed off crossplay between PC, Xbox, PS4, and Switch, so i'm assuming they'll be changing their update schedule to accommodate crossplay

[young sparrow]

wait did they

[amber horizon]

back at tennocon, yes

[young sparrow]

nice

[amber horizon]

[young sparrow]

@amber horizon

why wisp is thicc

[amber horizon]

man i couldnt tell ye

[solemn veldt]

@amber horizon just got ningguang to c1 pogger

[amber horizon]

pog

[solemn veldt]

but i’m saving the rest of my 5500 primos for hu tao

[amber horizon]

yuh

[solemn veldt]

gonna horde these shiny fuckers like the plague 🥴

[amber horizon]

i think my highest con peeps are xingqiu and lisa, all at c3

& ningguang

also @ 3

[solemn veldt]

now that’s pretty pogger

[amber horizon]

but i havent put any investment into lisa or ninguang, but i have a friend who uses ningguang and goddamn she does well

[solemn veldt]

pray for me that i don’t lose my 50/50 to thoma

[amber horizon]

you cant

thoma is a 4star

[solemn veldt]

oh yeahhh

[amber horizon]

have you gotten any 5stars ever?

[solemn veldt]

aside from the free one with 2.2, nah i’ve never gotten lucky with any pulls🤷🏽‍♀️

[amber horizon]

then yeah your 50/50 will be hu tao if you win it, or one of the standard banner 5stars if you lose

[solemn veldt]

weeeeell shit

some of the standard banner 5 stars are pretty cool tho

[amber horizon]

it'll be between keqing, diluc, qiqi, jean, mona, and hu-tao

[solemn veldt]

ah okay okay

[amber horizon]

keqing is p good, diluc is a good unit despite a talent being dead weight, jean is a competent unit but not fully in meta, mona has some spots in different comps, and hu tao is an absolute beast of a dps

[solemn veldt]

plus, hu tao’s song in the character demo is the only one out of the others that i like lmao

[amber horizon]

funnily enough my first 50/50 was on uhh.... eula's banner iirc (it was zhongli's rerun, according to the schedules) which i lost to Diluc (who i still use) and then my next 50/50 was on Raiden's banner, and because i lost a 50/50, i got raiden

then i won kokomi @ like 9 pity for no reason, and then tartaglia at 60

i'm still suprised

it was 9 pity not 3

[solemn veldt]

ayo?? how’s raiden? i heard she’s pretty ballin ⛹🏾‍♀️

[amber horizon]

baal'in

raiden is very fun, she just has a lot of investment cost to get her really good

[solemn veldt]

a small price to pay for eternity

[amber horizon]

small price to pay for boobasword

[solemn veldt]

lmao, the first time i saw it i went “tiddysword? ain’t no way. ain’t no fucking way.” 😭

[amber horizon]

every burst she does it and its funny every time

[solemn veldt]

every time

[amber horizon]

i showed my friend her trailer and he was like "haha that unsheath is funny asf"

and i was like "good news: she does it e v e r y t i m e"

and he freaked tf out

[solemn veldt]

lmfaoo

[hallow elk]

welp

one of my servers is being raided

[surreal lake]

[frozen sparrow]

sick and tired of these nitro scammers

these fake pings are like schizophrenia fuel honestly just FUCK OFF

[amber horizon]

I agree

[hallow elk]

almost went to the nurse today

[haughty ember]

Wish there was a way to mark them as spammers and have them automatically kicked

[amber horizon]

Most of them get tagged by the bot and get banned for spamming which works for 90% of the bots who try

But they still make a "ping" that isnt there.

[amber horizon]

@solemn veldt finally pulled the new bow, 100% worth it for childe

[sturdy igloo]

Anyone going to try out The Day Before?

how bout you cub

[tardy grove]

Nvm

Idk what you're talking about lol

I was just gonna post some pics but the link didn't work, and permissions

Seeing them talk about genshin just reminded me GFL had a division collab

[hallow elk]

Love playing metal gear

[novel relic]

It looks so clunky, and most renders look like they're made and not actual gameplay, I really doubt the game is going to be a bomb or anything tbh

What's good about it ? Like seriously, is there anything interesting about the game to get a decent enough fan base to keep the game alive ?

The only zombie MMORPG I know is a unity game from 2009, it may have 1-2k active players only, but that's about it. Making zombie games is hard, making zombie MMO RPGs is even harder.

[sturdy igloo]

I’ll be keeping an eye on it just in case it’s not one of those rug pulls like other games of the same ilk

My process of getting into a game involves other people doing all the legwork for me first, then I bandwagon jump if it takes off

Hence why I asked if anyone was going to try it out

[copper glacier]

Fun fact:
Division 2 and Payday 2 both take place in Washington DC most of the time

[amber horizon]

fun fact: payday 2's white house heist has no reference to division 2

[copper glacier]

I mean
they're completely seperate universes with their own lore

[amber horizon]

yes

[frozen sparrow]

fun fact: payday 2 white house heist kinda sucks

[amber horizon]

man you could say anything sucks

[frozen sparrow]

you could but a lot of things do actually suck

[amber horizon]

when you say stuff sucks as much as you do you start to get dulled to it, at this point your "that sucks" just means "its not as good"

like, its still a fine heist

[frozen sparrow]

It’s way too long and repetitive

[amber horizon]

man its payday, lot of stuff is repetetive

on its onw, its perfectly fine

why the fuck am i arguing with you' i've lost the care

i'm out

[frozen sparrow]

it’s just a slog, I could appreciate the difficulty of the PEOC if it was a shorter heist
still better than Shacklethorne and Breakin Feds though

[novel relic]

Payday 2 bank and diamond store heists are the best

[frozen sparrow]

which bank lol

[frozen sparrow]

@sacred snow look epic new pfp

[sacred snow]

pretty neat

though i miss Kirby...

[frozen sparrow]

One of my cats died recently so I wanted to make sure I have more pictures of the rest :/

this is Jonesy

[sacred snow]

im sorry for your loss

im not a pet person,but losing someone or something close to you must be sad

[timber coral]

Ooooh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a family member (yes, I see animals as family members 😄 ) sucks. 😢 🕯️

[novel relic]

The bank heist

[frozen sparrow]

brooklyn bank? first world bank? benevolent bank? san martin bank? GO bank? bank heist gold/cash/deposit boxes?

[novel relic]

The bank heist

[frozen sparrow]

alright

[novel relic]

The last one

Is the only bank heist on its own

[frozen sparrow]

and all those other bank heists are just fever dreams ig

[novel relic]

The others, as you mentioned aren't only named bank heist

[frozen sparrow]

none of them are named “bank heist”

[novel relic]

Yeah, the Bank Heist is a heist, I don't get your point

[frozen sparrow]

every heist in the game is a heist

[novel relic]

Yeah, but there's only one "Bank Heist"

[frozen sparrow]

but it’s not called “Bank Heist”

[novel relic]

It's got 4 variants I think

[frozen sparrow]

you cannot play a heist called “Bank Heist”

[novel relic]

What's it's name then ?

[frozen sparrow]

Bank Heist: Gold/Cash/Deposit/Random

[novel relic]

Lol, ok

[frozen sparrow]

you’re the one who wanted to be pedantic

[novel relic]

Right

[frozen sparrow]

Yes, I am

[novel relic]

Yeah, you are buddy, gj, you won

[frozen sparrow]

Oh, you flatter me

[pine sun]

How can I find people to play with? This game is dead

[hallow elk]

Ask in #lfg-playstation

Or #535439363425959962 if you just started

[hallow elk]

I need to figure this out

[winter quiver]

https://www.ign.com/articles/new-splinter-cell-in-development-report

[sacred snow]

Splinter cell looter shooter probably

[slender verge]

Man, I now understand why Dune was so unsuccessful compared to sci-fi titans like Star Wars. WOW THAT WAS SO BORING. the whole experience is Denis Villeneuve smelling his own farts while excruciatingly explaining to you why that fart is better than the MCU

im personally hoping that the post-covid lack of movie theatre attendance flushes this turd before it turns into a plumbing problem

this is dog-tier sci-fi

[sturdy igloo]

Oh it’s out?

Hopefully Matrix Resurrections fares better

[random skiff]

I kinda like dull sci-fi, but either way that is kinda what Dune is meant to be.
didn't it basically invent the "space opera" genre?

[novel relic]

Yeah

It's not action or something like that

I still want to see it in the movie theater

[sturdy igloo]

Its a slow burn film in general like his other sci fi rework with Blade Runner

The mainstream consumers are more partial to bombast and action films

[random skiff]

it's hard to blame them really, slow-burn films aren't for everyone.

[sturdy igloo]

The marketing was targeted towards the more action crowd, so this is what happens

they feel bait and switched

[amber horizon]

lmao get bamboozled

[random skiff]

i mean, the marketing department rarely consults the director, you can safely blame the studio backers for that.

[sturdy igloo]

Its nothing new obviously, its all about generating revenue by any means necessary with corporations

[random skiff]

with the massively inflated budgets, they need to justify them, which in turn inflate the budgets.
it's all a cycle.

[sturdy igloo]

the director is just another employee in the massive machine cog

[random skiff]

usually I'd agree, but Denis' is something of an auteur.

he was a good choice for this, they could've gone with someone more marketable to the general audience and we'd have ended up with another modern take on a beloved classic. (the book, not the Lynch thing)

[sturdy igloo]

he has very rare reach, but in the end they also have their limits of how the marketing is to be targeted and used

[random skiff]

he really is the go-to guy for weird stuff that appeals to enough of a main audience.

see: Arrival, Sicario, etc.

[sturdy igloo]

Blade Runner 2049 was also anticipated in the box office, but it wasn't the runaway success as the studio had hoped, even if it was critically acclaimed. I think he does best in lower profile films like the 2 you mentioned, where the budget would not be as outrageous to turn a profit

[random skiff]

in Blade Runner's defense, the OG movie is very, very dull. Even for someone who enjoys that kinda film.
it felt like it wasn't meant to be either, and there are great bits.

[amber horizon]

Film idea: 6 hours of elevevator footage. No angle changes. Continuous shot.

[random skiff]

i am 100% sure that has been made in eastern-europe before.

lol, first google result is "man trapped in elevator for 41 hours".

[amber horizon]

not even trapped, just a bunch of people going in and out of an elevator

[random skiff]

what angle is the camera at?

[amber horizon]

Just above eye level, but not security cam level

[random skiff]

this is starting to sound a bit like that M.Night Shamalan movie with the elevator and I am not okay with it.

[amber horizon]

M night shamanqmanan took my movie idea, the bastard

[random skiff]

he even made it better, before making it worse.
turns out, the devil is in the elevator.

and yet, he failed to call it "Satanvator".

[solemn sparrow]

Back 4 Blood is boring and stupid. I have spoken.

[frozen sparrow]

the lowest difficulty is almost mind numbingly easy and the jump to the next difficulty is insane, i think it’s balanced around having four players with kitted out decks

the characters aren’t interesting, half the environments look the same, all the special enemies look the same, and the final level kinda blows

I’m glad I didn’t pay for it

[amber horizon]

i got a gamepass offer so i'mma just play it on that

[mystic lava]

Anybody else having issues with PS voice parties? I get people voices cutting out like every 2 mins.

[hallow elk]

nop

[young sparrow]

make better game then ? ez

[hallow elk]

God i wish ypu could boost development

[sturdy igloo]

I’m going to see if Warhammer Darktide would fare any better

[novel relic]

Back 4 blood is fun

Special infected movement is odd af, but it's still fun

[runic ginkgo]

Gta Trilogy trailer show many changes they improved the game

But price is expensive 60$

[novel relic]

Lol

[lost girder]

i think they credit "skylark of space" as the originator, by doc e e smith, i read the entirety of his lensmen series... those are some weird books. theres a scene in one of the books where the hero destroys whats described as being just like the deathstar.

oh, and he did it with the help of "jedi mind tricks"

part of it was pre-ww2 and the rest post, so theres things that seem funny now, like spaceships being mostly asbestos and nuclear reactors within suits.

[random skiff]

Discord is being weird lately, that didn't tag me at all.

[hallow elk]

working on a new drawing if anyone would like to see

[random skiff]

sure why not.

[hallow elk]

in a bit

gotta get the picture

[hallow elk]

do you want an imgur link or just send it in PM?

[random skiff]

PM is fine.

[faint harbor]

Is general off now?

[shy vine]

Has anyone updated to windows 11. Any problems??

[shy vine]

No problems at all, juts a little laggy in the beginning but after a couple of restarts and checking the system for any miss updates it's fine

[unkempt geyser]

Eagle bearer - why exactly is it good?

[sacred snow]

It’s not really as good as it’s used to be

But the special ability that delays damage and totally negates it under special circumstances makes it viable I guess

[young sparrow]

bruh

that link wasnt even anything bad or something like this

nvm mods playing fortnite that explain all

[random skiff]

Most links are auto-deleted, since this is an official server and 90% of links posted are spam.

[hallow elk]

I’ve finished my gun drawing if anyone wants to see

[copper glacier]

Any ideas for a game like DIvision 2?
Another shooter with RPG elements and a decent build system?

Like I'm pretty invested in Division 2 and Destiny is kinda getting old for me

[frozen sparrow]

Division 1

[copper glacier]

Okay aside from division 1

Like
shooter with a build system not-so-reliant on loot

[frozen sparrow]

Borderlands ig

[runic ginkgo]

Ghost recon breakpoint

[sacred snow]

speaking of which,i just got it and playing it for the first time and my first impression is:holy shit the graphics are automatically set to ultra and very high,exceeding my VRAM total and it's not crashing?

[hallow elk]

I’m hoping you chose immersive mode

[sacred snow]

Already did

[hallow elk]

Oh thank god

[sacred snow]

Welp I just finished to tutorial and damm,the control feels way better than Wildlands

[hallow elk]

I kinda wish the driving mechanics were still in breakpoint

Wildlands I had fun with cars

[sacred snow]

What mechanics?

[hallow elk]

The wildlands driving mechanics

Those were fun to play with

[halcyon crater]

Breakpoint is very good, but wildlands had (and still has) more charm imo. It‘s somehow dirtier and more fun.

[sacred snow]

I just can never get along well with how you shoot things in Wildlands,the camera feels loose af

[random skiff]

plus the VA for my char was better in Wildlands, I like the Breakpoint one but it feels slightly "off".

[sacred snow]

Nomad went through double puberty,his voice is like 50% deeper

The female VA did better than the Wildlands one though

And did they use one of the VAs for the Wildlands AI teammates for the Breakpoint AI teammates?

[random skiff]

actually the female voice is what I was referring to.
I like the breakpoint VA in other stuff, but just not in that.

[sacred snow]

Wildlands female sounds really flat and soulless

But that’s just me though

[random skiff]

i totally disagree tbh, and for me the VA one just sounds very generic, as she's one of those VAs thats in everything.

I do like her in Vermintide, but just not that. no idea why.

[sacred snow]

Man that Walker dude was pretty chill,did he appear in any game prior to Wildlands?

[random skiff]

do you mean the antagonist of Breakpoint, that guy?
He plays the live-action Punisher.

[sacred snow]

Yup that guy,he also appeared in an Operation in Wildlands

[random skiff]

never played all that stuff, but I quite like him. He was in Walking Dead for a while too actually.

[snow nebula]

He was also one of the Ford salesman in Ford vs Ferrari

[random skiff]

I remember him as the drug seller guy in Wolf of Wall Street lol.

"hey ma, we got chicken?"

PSA: If you don't have Warlords, and play on PS4, It's 70% off until November 11th. That's $30 USD to $9 USD

[sacred snow]

thank you Keener,very epic

[sterile turtle]

oh

[sturdy igloo]

Steam sales abound!

[sacred snow]

so uhhh

i get that immersive mode is the best way to play Breakpoint

and i already set the difficulty to the highest(because the detection and combat is slightly easier than Wildlands for some reason)

but the final fight is super,super anticlimatic

like,i think i had more tension fighting,say the fat guy as the tutorial boss in division 1

is he any harder with gear scores on?

[hallow elk]

Eh

If you can shoot his drones quick enough

Then he’s an easy headshot

Which I feel like shouldn’t really be a thing

For such an easy kill

[sacred snow]

I’ve had a harder time fighting a Behemoth ground drone than him

[dense parcel]

Sup

It’s been a min

[late vine]

someone was asking after you a week or so ago. Can't remember who, though.

[random skiff]

hey Riri

[dense parcel]

Howdy

[dense parcel]

Ah I was taking a break

[hallow elk]

Hi oni

[dense parcel]

Heyy

[eternal gulch]

ITS RIRI missed you where you been

Hey rake

[dense parcel]

Working n shit

[eternal gulch]

Hop your doing good

[dense parcel]

Like wise chief

[shy vine]

Hey riven I was curious if you named yourself after the raid boss from the destiny games or if that's a coincedence

[random skiff]

Actually I was using the name first, but I don't mind answering the question

same as the WF mods, and the LoL character. :p

I do really like that Raid boss tho, Last Wish is great.

[dense parcel]

Speaking of destiny .. I bought the legendary edition for d2 n deluxe version of beyond light n cuz they was on sale for 40 each then I go to play it n i get too step 14 in the beyond light dlc n that shit was bugged n I couldn’t progress further 😒 ended up refunding the shit

But somehow ended up keeping the season pass for s15 so gg despite getting my full refund back 🥲

Sucks cuz I wanted the statsis shit

[hallow elk]

Mega rip for me today

I’m getting sent home from school

[hallow elk]

Itchy as hell throat and phlegm

I have to get a COVID test if I wanna attend online

[dense parcel]

Go get the test then

[hallow elk]

Not now

[dense parcel]

Or just do online classes

[hallow elk]

That’s the thing

I need the COVID test if I’m gonna attend online

Obv to check if I am pos or not

But I’m still sitting here at the nurse

[dense parcel]

Dumb asf but gotta do what u gotta do

[hallow elk]

Yeah

I’m also being marked

In school

[dense parcel]

Plus they just making sure u good don’t wanna get the other kids sick n shit

[hallow elk]

Yeah

[dense parcel]

Yurp

[hallow elk]

Idek how long it’ll take for me to even get results back

Im@hoping at least 24hrs

[late vine]

PCR test (the reliable one) is generally at least a day. Could do a Lateral Flow test (takes about 15 mins) but they get a lot of false negatives

[hallow elk]

I might as well stick with PCR

Just in case

[late vine]

yeah, lateral flow might tell you if you're positive more quickly, but if it comes back negative you'd prob have to wait for a PCR anyway to be sure

good luck, anyway: I've had a few young, healthy friends who've been hit really hard by covid, it can be nasty if you're unlucky

(although my idea of 'young' is 'still in their 20s or 30s')

[hallow elk]

Well I’m turning 14 this month

[late vine]

hopefully you'll be fine then, whatever it is you've caught!

[eternal gulch]

Hope it's negative rake

[hallow elk]

Me too

Thanks for that

[eternal gulch]

Just saw the new dune

[sacred snow]

how was it?

[sturdy igloo]

Wha

[halcyon crater]

I work as a medical tech and I am also certfied to carry out official corona tests. So if I need one I just fill out the form lol

[amber horizon]

I'm uhh

I'm ropes course certified

[frozen sparrow]

@random skiff against my better judgement I have reinstalled Warframe out of boredom

[lost girder]

i'm "certified" for cpr and using an aed (which is beyond simple to use), but idk how legit it is, think any safety ed company can just print their own.

not something i'm gonna like flash around like some kinda badge.

[frozen sparrow]

how tf do I start a new character

[late vine]

log off to main menu (where you select your agent) and look for a 'new agent' button, I guess

[frozen sparrow]

in Warframe

[late vine]

doh, should have paid attention to what channel I'm in

[amber horizon]

cant start a new character in WF, but you might be able to start the game on a different profile on xbox and start up a new save like that

[frozen sparrow]

that is very dumb

[lost girder]

why would you want to?

[frozen sparrow]

to start from new?

[lost girder]

did something go wrong?

yeah

oh just want to re-experience it fresh?

[worldly rampart]

👀 yea ive always knew it was the warframe mods

[frozen sparrow]

yes, especially considering the game is confusing AF

[worldly rampart]

Division-2 aint confuseing

[frozen sparrow]

.

[worldly rampart]

warframe aint confuseing eather

🤷‍♂️ although ive been playing warframe sence like may-2013

[amber horizon]

I mean, when you take an extended break it can get daunting

[worldly rampart]

you want to know a odd game - Automation

trying to build a car that works is hard
or even worse trying to build a car that dosent understeer in Beam-NG

[umbral lake]

if ubi ever invades TCverse with assassins creedness, that would risk enraging a huge deal of TCverse fans

that is a huge risk only those fools of EA would dare to ignore

the fan response current obsession of BR games would be nothing compared to the AC invasion to TCverse

and besides, yeah i must agree having secret govt organization with license to kill and act without check is pretty templarish

But i still hate templars for the same reason I hate LMB

[lost girder]

outfits that are white with red accents/trim?

Been watching some division raids/incursions with arknights ost
Patriot (Arknights) theme with Iron Horse
Talulah theme with Dragon's Nest (both have fiery stage hazards, coincidentally)

[umbral lake]

placing order before freedom

[sacred snow]

The scenarios in the Division universe really questions the philosophy of the 2 factions in AC,given they’re canon

Like,if the government is truly ran by Templars,they’re doing a pretty damm good job

[umbral lake]

Well, I do believe that assassins or its beliefs are not only true,but also the salvation of mankind

[sacred snow]

Not extreme order like LMB,sure but it is sure as hell better than chaotic freedom like what we see in Rikers and Hyenas

[umbral lake]

Chaos can lead to liberation

while order can lead to oppression and slavery

[sacred snow]

Liberation as in criminals and drug addicts running our society?

[umbral lake]

No, I meant liberation in defeating evil kinds of order like the LMB and BT and cleaners

those hyenas and rikers, they follow the credo of might makes right, which is pretty much evil.

What i am saying is that chaos is not evil, and order is not good. They are separate entities.

There are necessary, and benevolent chaos. Think the french resistance who fought against the nazis and Le Loi who fought against Ming oppression

Dude im not even vietnamese but more I read about him, the more I adore that guy

[sacred snow]

true,freedom is good,but in this very specific scenario where all hell breaks loose,is it though?

[umbral lake]

In fiction think about rebel army in star wars for example

Thing about distorted freedom where "hell breaks loose"

[sacred snow]

speaking of rebels,do you know that the entire galactic system goes downwards after the rebels have won?

[umbral lake]

is that it eventually hurts freedom because it only grants it to those with more power

[sacred snow]

to me,freedom and order are both necessary to run a society effectively

[umbral lake]

To me, freedom is paramount,but true freedom must go hand in hand with equality

and order is just a byproduct of such healthy state, and enforced order can corrupt into oppression

[sacred snow]

forced order clashes with chaotic freedom,who will prevail?

[umbral lake]

true, healthy freedom can only be achieved by people respecting freedom of another's as well as their own

I personally find chaotic freedom a much better outcome than forced order, but at the same time i think both are basically hell

its like choosing btw regular 💩 and 💩 with 🌽 bits, and this was not an aspect targeted corn joke

[sacred snow]

i mean,in the universe of the Division,SHD is forced order and the militia factions like Outcasts,Hyenas and Rikers are chaotic freedom

sure,some are justified for their actions but in the sense of freedom,is this what you really want?

[umbral lake]

TBH yeah, I do believe the entire premise of SHD is basically messed up irl logic

but at least green flu is not a real thing yet

[sacred snow]

yet

[umbral lake]

welp it is unlikely that ebola and smallpox would actually mix that way

[sacred snow]

Idk man,no one expected Covid before

[umbral lake]

yeah

at least it didnt cause a global scale apocalypse

[sacred snow]

A global scale conflict between countries would be called a Cold War

[umbral lake]

apparently bush did made directive 51 irl to preserve govt in case of disaster

...knowing bush, I wouldnt be surprised if the entire directive turns out to be just a large-scale "I give up"

[sacred snow]

So you’re saying the Division is a real thing?

[umbral lake]

Well directive 51 is a real president directive, SHD is a fictional interpretation of the said directive which is classified irl. What im saying is whatever real life directive 51 turns out to be, its gonna be either really ugly or anticlimactic

[sacred snow]

So directive 51 is real but we don’t know what it does?

[umbral lake]

apparently thats the case, dark winter was also real

the division is fiction based on then

[sacred snow]

Yeah they have a paper on dark winter

You know,I really like AC Rogue because of how they show the bad guy’s side of the story and say “hey maybe they aren’t that bad”

But then every game later cancels the good doing of Shay

[umbral lake]

I already had enough dose of templar-apologetics from haytham so Rogue didnt really change my views

and my answer to haytham's claims were pretty much "so what, you are still tyrants and you must die."

[sacred snow]

i mean,Rogue specifically made the Templars good,for like once and it was pretty logical

it's one of those "he's out of line but he's right" situation to me

[umbral lake]

yeah i guess thats where our opinion differs

[sacred snow]

i just like it when the villains of a story is more than "huhh huhh im evil" and shit

[umbral lake]

Yeah, thats like the basic cutline of all good-villainhood

cleaners, LMB, hell even rikers are good villains because they have a cause and a situation to become villains.

In the end, the enemy factions of division is a marvel of faction designing

once players begin to cosplay as them irl and in game, and people are saying at the forums that " - did nothing wrong." you just know you desgined a great villain.

....although Im just a bit irritated cuz Ive seen actual, real life fascist players with nazi symbol/dixie profile pics defending LMB and true sons in the forums and twitter etc. Thankfully none of them seem to be around this discord.

Anyways thats the reason I am keeping up with me hating LMB shtick, which is explained in the most sober manner.

[sacred snow]

i mean,good idea but horrible execution perfectly sums up the cleaners and outcasts

[hallow elk]

i got my test results back

[late vine]

do you have the plague?

[hallow elk]

i have a negative

[late vine]

that new ABBA is fire tho

cant believe i get to say that, pretty dang cool

[sacred snow]

question:so Terminator and Predator canonically happens in the Clancyverse?

[lost girder]

does that mean RE is in the same universe as the division? probably not, these are just crossover events.

[eternal gulch]

Div1 happened in wildlands

1 full mission

And r6 was in wildlands

[sacred snow]

Wait what?

Div1 happened in Wildlands?

[sullen merlin]

I don't think so 🧐

[frozen sparrow]

spider’s not doin its job if there’s a cockroach outbreak

[sullen merlin]

I hate how they give you the final mission doe, kinda confusing to new players ngl

[shy vine]

ye was at cutscene after you kill walker and went hol up

[sullen merlin]

pretty fun game tho

[shy vine]

so now i’m doing the story

[sullen merlin]

Yea I'm just doing the motherland stuff atm

[shy vine]

yeah

[shy vine]

is it a new map or smthn

[sullen merlin]

nah

You ever play Just Cause 4?

[shy vine]

nope

[sullen merlin]

Ah well essentially you have mini missions to do in each region to be able to open a stronghold or whatev and those mini mission affect what happens in the stronghold fight

Lore wise these Russians invade and ya gotta help the outcasts fight back

And they can go invis and shit

[sacred snow]

so if you master stealth or just play in immersive mode you can literally do the final mission in Breakpoint at the beginning of the game

i face tanked the Behemoth,dumbass took 2 rockets and blinded by Panther ulti lmao

[shy vine]

yes 😂

[shy vine]

cap i shot 3 and the lil shit was sprinting to me mach 6

[sacred snow]

they have fixed wheels and they're still running horizontally

[eternal gulch]

The bodarks are a returning enemy from season 3

I want them to finish the terminator story

[umbral lake]

Maybe unleashing a swarm of roaches were too much even for me.

So instead im gonna plant some potatoes around. 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔

:D

[boreal fog]

off topic discussion… egg or chicken first?

[sacred snow]

chickens?i just feel like it?

[frozen sparrow]

the egg came first surely?

because the evolutionary predecessor of the chicken had to have laid an egg which would hatch into the first chicken

[sacred snow]

but then again the predecessors for the chicken needs to be formed from something before

and i doubt it's an egg,but im no biology expert so i might be wrong

[frozen sparrow]

but they were not chickens
so in terms of the chicken or the chicken egg, the egg came first

[late vine]

Even if you specify chicken eggs and not dinosaur eggs or something, most likely the egg still came first, because mutations mostly happen during conception, so the proto-chicken would have laid a slightly mutant egg that hatched into the first chicken

[frozen sparrow]

yea exactly

[novel relic]

Death to rikers is right, an egg from the chicken's evolutionary predecessor that gave birth to the chicken as we know it was first.

Been playing Deep Rock Galactic recently. Hella fun.

[timber coral]

That's the game with the dwarf miners, isn't it? 🤔

[amber horizon]

Yep! Suprisingly fun.

[timber coral]

Haven't played it myself but I watched Neebs Gaming play. Really looks like a fun game. 😄

[amber horizon]

Its hectic and theres a lot going on at times, but the community is amazing. Its a reccomend from me for sure.

[hot prism]

What kind of game is it to be exact?

[amber horizon]

Horde shooter is a simple way to put it.

You and up to 3 other dwarves get sent down underground with a mission, anything from recovering, repairing, and extracting tech that was lost in the caves to an extermination mission.

off topic… half empty or half full?

[frozen sparrow]

depends on the context

[halcyon crater]

Optimist: the glass is half full, pessimist: the glass is half empty, cat: the glass is on the floor. 😁

[sacred snow]

me:a cup is a cup

[halcyon crater]

Bureaucrat: To decide wether the cup is half full or empty you have to submit an application, fill this form and this and this, notarized please.

Zen master: you and the cup aren’t separate from each other in any way. You are the cup and the cup is you. It‘s youcup.

[haughty ember]

Either way, it means I need another beer

[umbral lake]

50%

I used to like wintercamo, my mass effect's commander Shepard was coloured in winter camo.

After LMB, I began to hate wintercamo and the rank colonel, even had to donate that one hoodie with wintercamoesque pattern

Thats how much I hate LMB

[sacred snow]

LMB bad,winter camo good

[umbral lake]

Stout, Ale, Lager or Pilsner?

[haughty ember]

Stout - good ol' Guinness!

[late vine]

No flavour in regular Guinness, but the one they make for the Belgian market is pretty good

[sacred snow]

has no one in the entire Terminator universe thought of using water gun to short circuit the robot?

i think that's a thing that Terminators aren't water proof execpt for newer models like the John Connor one

so if they actually uses water,Skynet would be toast in 3 months

[late vine]

I'm sure Skynet was far too unintelligent to think of that when designing its murderbots. Probably just told them to use an umbrella in rainy weather.

[sacred snow]

But hear me out

How about hydraulic press?or actual fire hose whose water pressure is enough to crack bones and cause internal bleeding?for humans but it should do something to robots…right?

[frozen sparrow]

things heating up in the terminator fandom

[sacred snow]

I mean does a terminator fandom still exist after that dogshit sequel?

You know the movie with Sarah O’Boomer,that one skin from Cold War,and lesbian robot babysitter?

[delicate spindle]

ELDEN RING opinions?

[hallow elk]

You know I actually liked the secret mission for breakpoint

[eternal gulch]

@hallow elk which secret mission in breakpoint

[hallow elk]

Like a snake

If you go to missile site ruins and steal the boat in the tunnel, it activates

[eternal gulch]

The 1 with all the guns

And getting them to the outcast

i can barely understand them tbh

Yeah, that video is barely intelligible even to a brit like me

Its clearly supposed to be making fun of the way chavs speak

[sacred snow]

question:what's a chav?

[steep wave]

hrm...how to explain it? Think uneducated, living in poor conditions, and with little to no self respect

what the americans would call "trailer park trash"

[spark vigil]

quick google serach

will give u ur answer

[steep wave]

Like britains lowest common denominator

[spark vigil]

"a young person in Britain of a type stereotypically known for engaging in aggressively loutish behavior especially when in groups and for wearing flashy jewelry and athletic casual clothing (such as tracksuits and baseball caps) Like Eminem, Lady Sovereign is a poster child for the white lower-middle class."

[sacred snow]

huh,neat

[spark vigil]

basically dickheads

[steep wave]

mostly

A lot of people outside the UK don't understand that british society has many, many different levels, we still have a very active class structure, and hundreds of different accents

[sacred snow]

wait,"hundreds" of accents?

[steep wave]

Yeah, london alone has 3 or 4. Most cities and counties have their own accent

Birmingham has at least 3 distinct accents

Manchester has its own accent

North and south yorkshire both have their own accent

[frozen sparrow]

my dad’s from birmingham

doesn’t entirely have the accent though

[steep wave]

I lived Birmingham for the first 5 years of my life, but out in the Black Country in Stourbridge, so learned how to talk with a BC accent

I now live about 90 minutes from there in Leicestershire

around 50 miles east

But my mother had an RP/Oxford accent, and my nan was a cockney and my dad had a north london accent
