if you liked the gameplay of MW2 you will not enjoy Modern doorfare 2019

[fast timber]

The new mw2 or the old one

Because it is not like the old one

Also, tried goat and jerk chicken at an African-Carribean restaurant
I'm so upset I haven't been able to have it more often

[nimble cradle]

door frame simulator 2019

Quite amazing how those doors manage to keep intact while someone dressed up in tactical gear just goes through them at the speed of light.

[frozen sparrow]

and all the claymores in them too

[nimble cradle]

those are world class hinges, my friend. Damascus steel 😂

[frozen sparrow]

and if the governments of that world were ever low on cash, they could just implement a window tax and make bank

[nimble cradle]

Certainly toxic since it's a multiplayer game, and there's a lot of classes.

But you only need 1. 725 + M4 overkill.

[nimble cradle]

Had jerk chicken in a Jamaican restaurant in the UK before. And it was magnificent. I need that recipe.

[frozen sparrow]

and you only need two or three maps cus most of them suck

[nimble cradle]

More like the rest of them never show up on playlist rotations 😂

Like I'll play 5 games on random playlists and they would all be in Azhir Cave smh

Maybe in the new MW II game, IW will add the classic maps like Terminal and Overgrown. Just let it happen, pls.

[shy vine]

What did the chicken call you to incite such name-calling?

[nimble cradle]

Pff that jerk. It was spicy good though.

[frozen sparrow]

Maybe, but they also need to make new maps that don’t suck and not rely on nostalgia

[nimble cradle]

I know the newer MW games are remakes of the classics, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't in it for nostalgia. Although they just need good map design, not overcomplicating things.

[fast timber]

Kinda spicy
Ckicken

[fast timber]

Mw 2019 map design is genuinely some of the worst I've ever seen

It's like the devs never play their own game

[frozen sparrow]

Piccadilly! insane Jerma face

[fast timber]

Like I know they don't and that's the reason

[nimble cradle]

Hardhat is probably my fave map there, while everything else is kinda garbage

[fast timber]

Every. Single. Map. That is original to 2019 is bad

[frozen sparrow]

true

[fast timber]

You may say, what about that one port map that they introduced in season five?
that's from COD 2

[frozen sparrow]

people still play cod 2 multiplayer i believe

[fast timber]

Yeah "tactical crouch only servers no weapons that aren't the one bolt action on either side no sprinting no moving for more than 5 seconds at a time" servers

[fast timber]

Lmao I just saw that some Texan politicians are talking about succeeding from the US

Texit

[nimble cradle]

To be fair, the whole Texas seceding has been a thing for a long while now. Since I've been in high school, there were rumours of Texas seceding from the union and I recall mostly everyone going berserk about it.

Fun fact: high school was 11 years ago.

[sacred snow]

This reminds me of that one article saying a man bought over 250 gallons of lube and declares that him and his lube containers will secede from the US

[shy vine]

Is Texas even autonomous?

[random skiff]

The convo is fine for now, but just keep it civil and without getting personal for anyone, k?

[dreamy cobalt]

I like to use the seeker spam build on black tusk to, do what the drone controllers do to us. spam them with annoying explosive seekers.

[fast timber]

[narrow rover]

Hey so got a question. A friend is trying to get the Ultimate edition of division 2 since it's on sale but, the launcher and website on Ubisoft says it's 80USD when it still mentions that it's 16 USD. Any idea on what to do?

[dreamy cobalt]

Can true Patriot actually drop with skill damage on it?

I have been trying to get pieces with skill damage for a while now and have yet to see 1 piece with skill damage.

[cyan lake]

huh so i guess i am dead then

[solemn eagle]

If Texas leaves and Puerto Rico becomes a state at least we'll still have an even 50 stars. I wouldn't be able to handle looking at an odd 51 on a flag

[fast timber]

Texas really wouldn't survive, I'm anticipating Hawaii leaving and Puerto Rico taking its place

[solemn eagle]

Would Hawaii survive tho?

[fast timber]

I mean

No

[solemn eagle]

I guess it would be more likely than Texas given location

Idk lol

But then Again Hawaii doesnt have a great location either lol

[fast timber]

Hawaii's biggest issue would be economy

[solemn eagle]

Very true

[fast timber]

The tourism industry kind of sucks for Hawaii

[solemn eagle]

I hear that a lot actually

[fast timber]

By the way never go to Hawaii for vacation

It's very bad for it

Also people will hate you

[solemn eagle]

If I did I would take a boat prolly. I hate plane rides

But I would have to drive a lot to do that too so I'll pass on Hawaii for awhile lol

[fast timber]

Hawaiians understandably dislike tourists
Like beyond parisian level

[solemn eagle]

Yea makes sense given their history

[fast timber]

I would hate tourists too if they were the reason eggs costed 7 dollars

Prices are jacked

[solemn eagle]

The only islands I want to travel to is Japan

[fast timber]

Japan is lovley

[solemn eagle]

I'll suffer a plane ride for that trip lol

[fast timber]

Worth

[solemn eagle]

For sure

I love watching videos of people taking trains in Japan. I wish we had a train system like them in the US

They got so many super nice trains

[fast timber]

Trains would be awesome

Led the train game with the Intercontinental railroad and then tripped over our own feet

I mean to be fair we have less immigrants to endanger and mistreat in the modern Era so it would probably be a little hard

[amber horizon]

Minnesota has a similar train system, but not nearly as extensive.

[solemn eagle]

Oh really? I didnt know that. That's neat. I'm gonna go watch some videos on that in a bit probably lol

[sacred snow]

Nah that would be Ezra Miller coming down to beat the shit out of them for no reason

Those bullet trains and overnight sleepers are great, aren't they? Cleeeaaaan

[sour moon]

😭 bad thing about my area is that there's only one bus that goes by

So i can either walk to the nearby shopping centre or wait

[nimble cradle]

Are the buses there as regular as I think they would be? (i.e. every 10 mins or so)

[sour moon]

They come at random times in the morning and afternoons. Only every 15 mins between 11am-2pm then 6-7pm

But hey at school now and teacher didn't say anything

[sour moon]

I regret coming to McDonalds. Soo many ppl and way to many i know

[nimble cradle]

McD's is always full on a weekday lunch hour. Crazy bad at the queue waiting for 15 mins just for my simple burger.

[sour moon]

I hate paying at the counter like why... you got dozens of people doing nothing, why not make yourself useful and serve

[nimble cradle]

Don't you use the self service kiosk? They're much quicker assuming the ordering machine is working fine unlike the ice cream machine

[sour moon]

I do but don't have a credit card on me so have to pay by cash. They acknowledge that people need to pay but ignore

[nimble cradle]

Oh you mean people ignore cash payers nowadays because technology has ingrained itself into a new world order of our lifetime?

Yeah.

No clue what I said there, tbh. That's the result of 6 cups of coffee and debug code all day.

[fast timber]

No kaz wouldn't be able to see the Hawaiians to attack

I'm confused, I got emailed to join the Division Heartland closed June Beta, asked to sign and NDA and then move onto the download, click the link sign into my account, and says I'm not eligible.

if I wasn't eligible why send me an email that I was?

got me excited only to drop me on my head

[fast timber]

Orange slices are by far the best bad convenience store candies

[nimble cradle]

Those flavored jellybeans are probably just as bad

[fast timber]

The only good jellybeans are the starburst ones

[nimble cradle]

Best chews for sure. But I'm also a sucker for Haribo gummies

[fast timber]

I've never liked normal starburst

The jellybeans are great but sickening after eating two bags

[nimble cradle]

Make that four bags.

And then you wanna think about your life decisions

Also, note to self: never play rhythm games after eating a messy peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

[fast timber]

Also, thinking about it now, Kaz looks really strange for what he is cannonically

He is apparently only half American but he has incredibly blond hair and western European facial features

Where did the other half of his genetic code go

[inner onyx]

[solemn eagle]

Do you guys ever have, like, parts of reoccurring dreams show up in other dreams and then be able to, if you wake up accidentally, go right back into that dream if you fall back asleep?

I was dreaming all night and I actually felt exhausted from it cus I can remember almost everything

[late vine]

I sometimes get an 'I've been here before' deja-vu sense with dreams, but I can't tell if I actually have had that dream before of if that's just another part of the dream (and I rarely remember dreams for more than a few minutes after waking)

[nimble cradle]

I've had moments when I'd dream that I'm dreaming, but awake enough to know that I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming. Like a lucid dream within a lucid dream.

Also had déjà vu moments and it would usually freak me out like it's a glitch in the Matrix

[smoky nexus]

I had several Divison 2 dreams before, one more strange than the other..

[fast timber]

Yo can a mod
You know

[shy vine]

I used to keep some sketches of dreams I had back when I had a whiteboard in my room

I can't think of anything specific regarding the reoccurring part though, but I do know I have those every now and then

[fast timber]

The only dreams I ever have are ones just out of frame from reality that my barely lucid self can't tell that I'm dreaming

[grim lichen]

i had a dream that i almost died to a damn hunter, i took off running and then when i escaped some outcasts were wandering around and threatening civs

[umbral lake]

[smoky nexus]

I've also encountered Hunters in my dreams and even legendary hunter bounties appeared as optional targets, one of the more interesting aspect of my dream was a new obtainable hive that was similar to the attack hive but it was called "Freeze Hive" as the name implies it would slow down and freeze any enemies within its AOE.

[nimble cradle]

Reminds me of my time during post-grad studies three years ago when I submitted my thesis in person on my last day. Spent two hours commuting, printing, and binding my thesis to hand over to my supervisor.

When I arrived at her office, she said "you didn't have to do this, you could have submitted it online through Moodle and you'd be ok"

Welp. You live and you learn, I suppose

[grim lichen]

lmao i had a dream that a hunter axe was available as a skill

[inner onyx]

Bagged milk or canned water

[random skiff]

That implies the existence of canned milk and bagged water.
That's...unsettling.

[late vine]

I've had both bagged milk and tinned milk, not water though

[shy vine]

I've seen water in a can before

[fast timber]

I've had bagged water in the Philippines

It was, believe it or not, water tasting

[grim lichen]

boxed carrots

[nimble cradle]

Yeah, we have plenty of that. Corner stores usually pour the liquids (i.e. soda, water) in a bag. It was tied up and you enjoyed it with a straw.

The idea was simply to get rid of those glass bottles from the streets, sell them for recycling, or start a new fad with the plastic bags. Just plastic everywhere.

The naïve thinking some 20-30 years ago was that it was simpler to dispose of plastic than glass. Mmmm 😂

[fast timber]

Kind of funny that glass is much preferable to plastic

[nimble cradle]

ofc, no issues with glass if you can make it useful. But disposed plastic is just whack now that I'm looking at it from a different perspective. My childhood moments of sipping Royal Tru Orange in a plastic bag are now overshadowed by my guilt of plastic waste. 😩

Another reason why the soda was sold in those plastic bags was simply because they were more kid friendly than glass bottles.

[fast timber]

You also can't as easily kill people with a plastic bag as opposed to a bottle

[nimble cradle]

Those plastic bags are big enough to strangle or suffocate sooooo... 😂

[grim lichen]

suffocation would like to have a word with you

[nimble cradle]

I wonder if things have improved or if vendors have moved on from using the plastic bags at the corner shops. With the advent of aluminium cans or plastic bottles, at least.

[fast timber]

I once walked by a bar after it has a huge fight, people had glass stuck in their skulls

[grim lichen]

no they were trying to unlock the third eye

[carmine fiber]

thats why all clubs and most of those kinda bars dont use glass anymore but plastic cups

[nimble cradle]

Pint glasses here are still glass, but drunkards are courteous enough to leave the pub if they wanna fight while smashed

[late vine]

pint glasses & beer bottles in the UK (and probably EU and US) are glass but toughened/designed in such a way that when broken they break into loads of tiny pieces that aren't very useful for stabbing (much like windscreens/windshields on cars)

[carmine fiber]

so safety glass then

What’s a good phone I’m thinking about getting the iPhone 12 Pro or red magic 6/6s

Good morning y'all, had a dream that Razorback took over the world and it was gnarly, my dudes.

I gotta stop drinking poitín every night before bed.

[sacred snow]

Does Raiden cut the razorback in half

[nimble cradle]

No clue, woke up before any exciting thing happened and I couldn't get back to the dream, so I just got up and made myself a disappointing cup of coffee.

I simply remember the Razorback was deployed in many cities around the world. Something to do with blanketing the world with dominance or some villainous speech.

Does anyone take steps to try and match their mouse sensitivity in different shooter games? Thinking my reflexes would be better/more accurate if I could have exactly the same settings in every game, but they all use different scales

Wondering if it's worth having a couple of marks on my mouse mat to indicate distance moved for a full 360 turn, then tune each game based on that

[dense parcel]

Pretty good game samurai dark souls

[nimble cradle]

I have different mouse sensitivities for games in general. Going from League of Legends to BF4 and MW, mouse DPI or sensitivity settings are never the same thing 😂

I've never really thought of investing in a larger mouse pad but maybe it's the ultimate gamer move next to your gaming chair.

[sour moon]

Lol threaten to get refund thru your bank and suddenly the company is offering you one

[nimble cradle]

Indeed, the game of champions

[shy vine]

I basically use my mousepad to measure two full turns in its length

Left side of mouse on left edge of mousepad, drag until right side lines with right edge and that has to be as close as possible to 2 turns to me

I do hate the lack of standards in the industry regarding mouse sensitivity, since you can't really go and put 6 on all games because of things like Unreal and Source not liking me

@heavy vine okay there we go!

[heavy vine]

[random skiff]

yeah, like, I didn't mind the class thing tbh.
I enjoyed making new ones, and each was unique enough to offer a new experience after the campaign.

Oh the Hunter dodge's cooldown was based on your Mobility, so it could get REALLY fast.

[heavy vine]

Yes, I played through the Red War campaign with all 3 and each was a slightly unique experience, which was nice.

[random skiff]

I had this one build right, 10 mobility and the reload on dodge (which was an Exotic? either that or a skill)
in PvP it was crazy.

[heavy vine]

But ... you can just move to the left or right?

Like ... at 10 mobility, are we talking about a 2-second cooldown?

[random skiff]

close to that, yeah.
at least when I played back before the "smallening" .

[heavy vine]

OOF. That smallening was pretty yuck.

[shy vine]

Playing titan and being the king of the corners was fun

[random skiff]

the idea of "just moving over" is actually why Dodge is so important.
especially in PvE where it makes the enemy unable to track you for a moment, but in PvP too where most players wouldn't know how to shoot you while dodging, which allowed you to spring forward with a shottie/hand cannon.

[heavy vine]

Had some fun with Titan class, definitely.

[shy vine]

People who have a guaranteed kill for sprinting

[heavy vine]

Hmmm... okay, I guess I can see that utility. One of those "generally useless in most cases but in just the right scenario REALLY powerful" abilities.

[random skiff]

Kinda the exact opposite lol.
you dodge more than you shoot.

[heavy vine]

😕

[random skiff]

Hunter was all about mobility, being a twitchy little thing.
titan was more "stand your ground" and Warlock was "flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

thats all pvp of course, in PvE I was way more Orphys or Celest.

[heavy vine]

Yeah, I rarely touched Destiny 2's PvP content. I knew it had a dedicated following though.

I apologise for my past self.

[shy vine]

Gambit was fun on those rare instances people didn't invade with stacked heavy ammo

[random skiff]

the special gambit armours: yes, gone.

[heavy vine]

And Sony bought them for $3B? I don't care if they made Halo...

[shy vine]

I derived a special enjoyment from picking the missile tree and human-rocketing my way to the invader as soon as I saw him

[random skiff]

You know what was even worse? A solar Hunter with the 6-shot before they nerfed the damage.
I may or may not have gotten many angry DM's after I started using that.

team wiping in about 10 seconds. I once took 50 motes from them.

[heavy vine]

Oh I remember that one! That was such a cool ability!

[random skiff]

I don't feel good about that, but I kinda do

[shy vine]

The missile tree was unfortunately super niche, but at least it somewhat worked

[heavy vine]

...I like the part of The Division 2 where I can even be playing on an Xbox with a USB connected HDD, and checking my inventory or map doesn't take a full 10 seconds.

[shy vine]

I mean, someone sat down at a table and thought "hmm, the player should use the minuscule slide from the game to slide over an ammo pickup and gain a damage boost"

[heavy vine]

yeah ... in fact, I've noticed a lot of games have some sort of "shoot while sliding" mechanic. It's even in Shadow of War. But I've never used it or seen the point?

[shy vine]

It has some merit in some games, but D2's slide was so short, it was honestly painful

[random skiff]

It helped more in the more mobile focused playstyles.
cough Hunter cough

[shy vine]

Warframe and Titanfall 2 had good slides

[random skiff]

oh WF has the best slides.
theres even mods to make them longer.

[heavy vine]

isn't Warframe ALL sliding?

[shy vine]

If you don't want carpal tunnel, actually yeah

If you do, you slide, jump, glide, roll mid-glide and hit the ground sliding to repeat it again

[heavy vine]

Loved the hell out of Titanfall 2. Put over 100 hours into Frontier Defense. LOVED the gradual progression ... still looking for another experience like that. Closest I've come to is Halo 5's Warzone Firefight of all things.

[random skiff]

or just sling-shot with the Operator a 1000 times.

[shy vine]

Oh yeah, there's that as well

[random skiff]

im not sure if i can count something that's been out since 2018/2019 as a spoilers lol.

[shy vine]

I mean, people probably see the kid flying around and go "what's that kid flying around?" anyway

[heavy vine]

plz spoil me, I don't care what it is. Not being attached to franchises is part of my personality.

[random skiff]

Well I don't want to ruin it for anyone else reading this very public chat.
I'll happily spoil it all for you in PM's if you like, but it's worth the wait.

[heavy vine]

...holy cow, I think I just picked up my first SPAS-12 after almost 80 hours 👀

I don't even know what you'd be spoiling?

Please let it NOT be Pathologic 2. 1 hour with that game was 1 hour too much.

[random skiff]

that's what makes it a spoiler lol.
"Second Dream", although with the marketing for DE these days I wouldn't be shocked if they've already done it.

[heavy vine]

Marketing for DE?

Dog Earth?

Downton Eabby?

[random skiff]

Digital Extremes, the devs of Warframe.

[heavy vine]

Oh. I played like maybe 20 minutes of Warframe and lost interest. No worries here.

[random skiff]

It's one of the most "marathon not a sprint" games I've ever played.
At first you don't know what's going on, then when it clicks you'll drop hundreds of hours into it.

I don't even wanna know what my playtime since 2014 is at this point.

[heavy vine]

maybe I'll try it again one of these days ... one of my cute friends does play a fair bit and might walk me through? 😁

[shy vine]

Wish I had cute friends

[heavy vine]

They're not hard to find on 🏳️‍⚧️ servers! 😁

[random skiff]

Does it count if I only play by myself?

[heavy vine]

😂 Yes! It certainly can and does! QT confirmed! 🥳

[random skiff]

Uh thanks, I think?
imma go with "yeah, sure".

[heavy vine]

aaaaaaaa how do I get into this Souvenirs shop!? 😭

it's just north of the Southern DZ

[amber horizon]

Its one of those games you get into, drop it for a bit, then get back into a month or so later

[random skiff]

Exactly what I did.
I went "oh, 2014" then "okay 2015, this is my year"
now it's been.....oh god, too many hours. WAY too many hours.

[amber horizon]

Anyways my friend roped me back into playing Elite Dangerous. Finally grabbed the ship that made me start the game, the Imperial Cutter.

[random skiff]

I bought that a while back and sorta forgot to return it before the refund date.
fun?

[amber horizon]

Fun, kinda tedious.

Takes a good bit to get used to flying, but thats to be expected.

[heavy vine]

I hear it's one of the few games I can play with my flightstick ... such mixed feelings about that thing

[amber horizon]

Its fun but you have to have atleast a friend to help out, some stuff is super confusing but once you understand the game it becomes a blast

Theres not much that can measure up to ripping an enemy ship's shields off and laying into them with your entire arsenal.

Or just venturing off into the dark.

[heavy vine]

And on some level that does sound pretty neat ... maybe I could enjoy it one of these days

[amber horizon]

Lots of ships, lots of things to do, lots of ways to play.

I know people who have made all of their money by just exploring and sending data back, some who have done exclusively combat missions, and some that asteroid mine for a profit.

Most of my capital comes from trading. Find two stations relatively close, buy at a low price, sell at a high price. Buy a second good at a low price at the second station, sell at a high price at the first.

[heavy vine]

I'd probably have to invest a fair bit of time into it in order to appreciate what all that is about

[sour moon]

Oh yeah free wifi but i gotta consent to receiving marketing news

But the wifi is that bad I can't play GeForce now

[nimble cradle]

Use it with a VPN service or don't use it at all. It's too easy to exploit public hotspots

[icy veldt]

Ah, good old Elite

Fun 800hrs I put into that

Lots of fond memories with my Corvette haha

[fast timber]

Elden ring is what would happen if Brazil, Detroit,Romania, and upstate New York were all put into Ohio

[nimble cradle]

Funny, I picked up Mortal Shell on Xbox Game Pass and I don't know how better or worse it is than Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

[fast timber]

Mortal shell is just one of those games that isn't really interesting

[solemn eagle]

So when I play Survival in TD1 I have to be in a game with others right?

[frozen sparrow]

No

[solemn eagle]

Is there a way to start it without others cus when I try I get thrown in with random people

[frozen sparrow]

PvP is less likely to be populated

[solemn eagle]

Really?

[frozen sparrow]

yea cus nubs are afraid of PvP

[solemn eagle]

I am too lol

Although I get bodied by the NPCs just as much

[frozen sparrow]

but if there's no one around, you don't have to PvP
it's rare that i see even one other person, and when there is they mostly die before i ever see them

[solemn eagle]

That happened in my a PvE game I got into last night lol. Although I did end up running into one other person for once

So how long does a survival game usually go for?

[sour moon]

Jurassic world domination is an ok film indeed but god it is loud asf. All the noise vibrations made me nauseous and throw up

[frozen sparrow]

up to you, moving fast or slow, choosing to do a large amount or small amount of landmarks

I'd say usually with 0 DZ landmarks, about an hour

[solemn eagle]

So it's not really a race
Or anything? Just gotta not die?

[frozen sparrow]

well there's a timer ofc
and all the loot is first come first served, so you gotta choose between being slow or potentially taking risks to get to the good loot before other players

[sour moon]

Also last min cancellation was maybe a sign that we shouldn't have come on our trip

Cause suddenly 9 months later i have a headache which is rare since it never happened before despite whatever I used to do

[solemn eagle]

Ngl that makes me want to play the PvE mode a bit more as to get the hang of it before someone in PvP does decide to find me and kill me lol

[frozen sparrow]

like I said, PvE is more populated and because you can still steal loot, juke NPCs to people etc. PvP can actually be less competitive

[solemn eagle]

Well the games I've been in so far I've been like the 3rd agent left alive in just like 3 minutes into the game lol

A lot of people die to contamination right off the bat for some reason

Or from what I saw last night lol

It was weird

Although now that you say that I think that one guy I ran into DID bring some NPCs my way when I was in front of a landmark

[obsidian prawn]

is it offline their server now?

i cant reach server

[fast timber]

The outer worlds is what would have happened if obsidian wasn't super pressed for time on fnv

[shy vine]

ngl the world is visually overexciting in a bad way

It also feels like I've seen it already a dozen times elsewhere, just less saturated

[fast timber]

I kind of like the variety of ways you can play though

Like I just beat the game because my character was beyond stupid and flew into the sun

There's a lot of players in the EU server. Matchmaking is relatively quick too.

Good build on dark souls remastered

[fast timber]

Sword

Idk I've only played the original

I just picked up the dragon greatsword and beat half the game with it because I totally wasn't supposed to do what I did

[shy vine]

Grab some random straight sword, put on the minimum requirements for it, infuse with lightning and dump the rest in faith

Lightning is ridiculous in the entire trilogy

[fast timber]

I am genuinely surprised
I decided to go for a board ending (the cartoonishly evil conglomerate) and didn't get an awful ending

Nothing really bad happened in the end credits scene because the only guaranteed "bad news" is what happens to emerald vale
And I murdered everyone in emerald vale

I mean I did toss Felix aside because I was playing the corpo-route and Felix is super annoying during it but he didn't have that bad of an end

How’s DS3? Better than 1 remastered?

[shy vine]

DS3 capitalizes a lot on rolling and fast weapons

Also harder to get lost on, which is fairly nice

Many criticize the game for being more linear than the previous entries, but I personally didn't really vibe with the vague open map because it was still filled with areas where you clearly were better off waiting to level a bit

DS1, for example, has New Londo Ruins

You can go there right off the bat, but it's painful

Catacombs too, but it's so utterly miserable that it's just not an option

Players can just speed past or kamikaze for an item, but like... why?

[hallow elk]

Is it me or when you guys played division (both 1 and 2) first time you felt purge vibes right off the bat???

[fast timber]

From my limited experience so far, control wise, yes, gameplay is up to how you like to play

Like how poise was busted in one

[shy vine]

omnidirectional rolling moment

I just saw a message that said "be wary of lizard" when a big pissed off dragon was ahead

[shy vine]

My favorite thing about DS2's messages was "horse"

||There's a boss called The Undead Chariot that runs in circles in an arena, and it's pulled by a skeletal horse. Across the game the message "horse" appears in so many nonsensical places, it just starts losing meaning as a noun and becomes just a meme word. Eventually, the player enters the Drangleic Castle and fights through it a bit, and at one point I was crossing a door arch and the same message popped up: horse. I scoffed because funny word, then I entered the next room... the undead chariot's horse was there.||

Yo the EU has apparently standardized USB C

Yeah, about time we stick to just one damn adapter.

Apple punching the air right now with that lightning end stick whatever it's called.

(never had an iPhone, had more Windows Phones than iPhones in...ever)

I believe USB C is better than lightning

I love type C. It's reversible.

played the newest payday heist today, it was surprisingly quite good

Yeah it looks fine
It has that issue of being in an old engine so it can't be nearly as sick as it should
Can't wait for payday 3, maybe then their change from the ancient racing game engine will allow console updates

Also it's funny to see Texans being so excited that they got attention in this dlc

i have a little question i'm going to buy this game before the summer sales event end and was wondering if ( Prepaid Card......Stored-value card ) will work on Ubisoft digtial games cause i don't know is there a difference between a Prepaid Visa Card vs a Debit Card it looked the same to me and it's In-stores , i never used one for digital games just those Steam Prepaid card which is the very fast and safe way to purchase

[late vine]

I don't see any obvious reason why it wouldn't work, might as well try it and see

[nimble cradle]

You might wanna double check their payment option policies. But if the card is a valid Visa card regardless of it being prepaid or debit, it should work though.

Intuitively speaking, it should be okay.

[nimble cradle]

My goodness, so many Americans in Galway today. Must be the 4th of July effect

[hollow ginkgo]

alright seems nice and thanks for the response

[hollow ginkgo]

it looks very long but sure.

[nimble cradle]

Payment option policies should be straightforward. Don't let it scare you lel. They usually list (in bullets or whatever easily readable format) which forms of payment can and cannot be accepted.

[hollow ginkgo]

yeah not bad unlike reading ( Terms Of Conditions & Service ) is much more longer it should and it does get updated and changed over the years for Policies.

When they hit the
"One day no child will be left behind
One day no young boy will march to war
One day no old man will die alone

[nimble cradle]

Those lyrics sound like a recruit going for the Marines, ngl

Pretty deep tho

[fast timber]

Personally I wouldn't take that

[shy vine]

I went to the army with that mindset tbh

Got out when I figured I wasn't actually going to do anything of worth in my life

[fast timber]

Brazilian army? Did a spooky demon woman interrogate you?

[shy vine]

The only demon was sergeant Fritz

He pulled his cap all the way down so he always would look at us from underneath the sun thingy and with his chin up

He got the 60s American TV show side character name

If memory doesn't fail me, the South is 90% white and has a lot of Germanic and Italian colonies

Also italians

[shy vine]

yeah haha quirky

[fast timber]

No reason whatsoever

[nimble cradle]

Things that make you go hmmm

[fast timber]

Also, some Japanese

Crazy huh

[shy vine]

A lot of us came around WW2; some to escape persecution, which likely was the case with my family, and others just to escape the war

So we get a lot of traditional folks here with their vineyards and homemade products being a big selling point for tourists

Japanese are fairly rare here, but one of the biggest immigrant groups as well

[fast timber]

Welcome to vinedo Yates, 47

Wait that was Argentina

Eh

Basically the exact same

[shy vine]

And, of course, we get the people that come with European immigration

Namely fat Germans with a taste for beer and some honest-to-God gorgeous girls

Some of the guys look great too, but I'm not too into blonde men

I appreciate the racial mix of Brazil tbh

It's harder to be outright racist when the person sitting near you on the bus is Portuguese, the other is African, the driver is German and the cash guy is Italian

My ex's father was one of those hardass blonde Germans that ended up darker than me and with a brown hair from working as a mason in his early age

So you get this tanned guy with brown hair and really clear eyes

I miss them and the stupid family trips I'd be willing to go through just so I could spend more time with her

German Christmas with singing, going to church, visiting relatives randomly

I ended up more part of her family than my own at some point

[fast timber]

Germans are funny

Not intentionally but when they think they can outdrink me

Midwesterners have literally nothing to do

The only person from western Europe who has ever outdrank me was a tough ass Irish woman

The funniest one was french

They have good wine, not hard wine

Also the funniest when the Brit said “we dont need you europeans” and right after Brexit they realize “shit we actually need the europeans”

[valid finch]

What tickled me the most was people googling "Repercussions of leaving the EU" AFTER having voted

[eager herald]

It would be great if the link to the patch notes 15.3 would work.

Is the link not working for you?

[dense parcel]

Very small patch notes

[dense parcel]

Anyone tried T mobile 5g home internet? Wws thinking about getting em

[fast timber]

I have it, it's pretty nice

Get it if you have spare money and are particularly annoyed at internet speeds

[dense parcel]

Yea just got it along with phone plan just waiting for it to ship

Got boost mobile n Comcast rn so y pay for 2 companies when I can just get with one that has both

[quasi seal]

not good for "The Division" in those small inches' smartphones....never ever gona touch those thin for gaming...

[fast timber]

I'm starting to appreciate how hard it is to reach notes in some songs, specifically rock music
I could never go as high as even ozzy Osborne, albeit my naturally deep voice preventing that already

[dense parcel]

U could try screamo

[bitter skiff]

^ spread the cure

^ its up here

[fast timber]

Mimics are deeply unpleasant in every way

Should I spec more into the katana or Battle axe?

[amber horizon]

in....?

[fast timber]

Tom Clancy's the division two
Or dark souls three
Whichever has a half decent melee system

[shy vine]

I've done a single singing class before I got into money shenanigans, but it was interesting seeing all sorts of breathing exercises

A shame singing kinda requires one to be noisy

[fast timber]

Yeah

Noise

[shy vine]

Like, I wanna practice, but I don't think my neighbours would appreciate me singing metal songs like they're meant to be sung

[fast timber]

Anyways I'm watching love death and robots and this is the most interesting show I've ever seen

Its also a little hard to tell if the specific episode is animated or not

That is how good it is

[shy vine]

Poggers, even

I bet the complete opposite for Berserk 2013

Or maybe it was 2012

[fast timber]

It has a very unique concept

And by that I mean very common concept just done very well

Short stories

All different

For some reason they manage to have a topless woman in every episode

[shy vine]

I see.

[fast timber]

I wish I couldn't

Yogurt has taken ohio

Politicians have destroyed everything

[shy vine]

Ah, but they won't destroy anime

[fast timber]

Yogurt now owns the entire United states

This is rapidly growing

[shy vine]

Anime will destroy itself like chad medium it is

[fast timber]

Yogurt owns the earth

[shy vine]

I'd rather die than lose my life

[fast timber]

This episode was weird

[shy vine]

Life is weird

[nimble cradle]

Out of context, this is really profound poetry

[dense parcel]

@fast timber what ghz do t mobile router have tho 2.4 or 5ghz

[sacred snow]

yogurt goes to space

in a yogurt shaped rocket

[fast timber]

No clue

I'm not a router provider

[dense parcel]

Fair

[nimble cradle]

Should have both frequencies though, or at least I think modern routers nowadays have 5G bands.

[errant anchor]

Anyone seen the Resurgence mobile game trailer?

[frozen sparrow]

yep

doesn't seem too interesting

[errant anchor]

I wonder what game engine they are using

[supple marsh]

it interests me mainly because of its story

like yeah it kinda sucks that a story about 1st wave agents is locked to mobile game but IDC get me in there now!!!

I wanna know all about it!!!

[frozen sparrow]

I'll uh watch the NGN videos on this one probably.

[errant anchor]

Snowdrop is quite scalable IIRC

And WZ mobile are using a rewritten IW engine for mobile

[frozen sparrow]

I'm confused as to who this is marketed to
People who already play Div probably aren't going to drop it for this, they might play a little bit on the bus or something ig
And Div is on sale often enough that it's easy to acquire
so it's for people who don't have a console or PC, and want to play an open world RPG but aren't already playing Genshin Impact or whatever

[vivid atlas]

i was thinking of getting division 2 which edition should i get?

are the chat's usually dead?

[nimble cradle]

Just get the ultimate edition when it's reduced. Good bang for the buck imo. This server is pretty active too if that's what you mean by the chats being dead or not. @vivid atlas

[vivid atlas]

the ultimate ain't on sale

[nimble cradle]

Bummer, it was 8 quid last week. I bet it's back to normal price at 50 quid now until the next sale.

[vivid atlas]

for me it's NOK

btw do you play warframe?

[nimble cradle]

I used to. I was a Rhino main and it was dope enough since I didn't use other frames 😂

[vivid atlas]

damn

never knew i would meet a fellow warframe player

i had a suspicion since i saw your name

[nimble cradle]

There's some in this server who might have played or are still playing it though.

Lmao, you mean that one frame? Nah 😂

[vivid atlas]

ye

you're that bird frame from the game

[nimble cradle]

I'm not that familiar with the frames now. It's been three years since I last played Warframe on both Xbox and PC too

Probably have around 200 hrs on my Steam account or something

[vivid atlas]

well on this year we got the new war angels of zariman new faction new frames and weapons

also our first prime archgun

[random skiff]

WF is a strange beast these days. It's certainly better than it has been in the not too distant past.

[vivid atlas]

ye

we also gonna get khora prime too

but we got garuda prime early

[random skiff]

That's nothing new for DE.
They will change up the order (outside of MM>FF) to whatever is more popular around a holiday.

[vivid atlas]

yup

[hallow elk]

Is that cloaker from the breakpoint server?????

[vivid atlas]

yes

btw how did you know?

[hallow elk]

I was banned from it

My name was Typhoon

I had like a drone profile

[vivid atlas]

u got banned?

[hallow elk]

Ban avoiding

That’s why I was banned

I shared a raid glitch

In one of the chats

And then the next day I see the turtle bot saying I got banned for something

I’d have to double check

[sour moon]

The crew 2 60fps update today?

[vivid atlas]

dunno

[fast timber]

Depends on the time, also, this is the off topic chat which tends to be completely out of left field but not very busy

I love playing my favorite source game TF2 ❤

Titanfall 2

Where the bots are intentional

[vivid atlas]

damn never knew i would meet a fellow titanfall 2 player

[fast timber]

Guess what
I'm also a bit of a payday two enjoyer

Also, currently playing man of medan, murdering every character I have

[vivid atlas]

nice

[fast timber]

Giving the soldier man intense brain damage during the QTE tutorial

[vivid atlas]

lol

[fast timber]

This game tries so hard to be scary whilst I play it like a gorilla

[vivid atlas]

ha!

[dense parcel]

Internet coming tomorrow hopefully it’s not hard setting it up

[fast timber]

I feel like love death and robots has a lot of Australian people

Specifically Australian women

I personally don't believe Australia exists
It's a global conspiracy to get me to think that British people are capable of living in warm environments

[fast timber]

I know they shrivel and die like slugs

[nimble cradle]

Honestly, you can't top the first one.

Although I gotta say TF2's campaign was hella dope.

[frozen sparrow]

📠

[surreal lake]

TF3 when 😭

[whole igloo]

The fck 3?

[solemn eagle]

Hardspace shipbreaker is good. Got that with DOOM eternal. I got a nice week ahead of me

I got way sucked into DOOM eternal man. It's so damn good

[fast timber]

That man really wants validation

[fast timber]

I just lost a tf2 match because my braindead scorch was playing like a roamer and let the entirety of the enemy wave through him

[amber horizon]

to be fair, scorch mains arent exactly known for thinking

[dense parcel]

Flatline was good in 2

I like that sniper with the 3 barrels or whatever it's called as well

[fast timber]

I play scorch, can confirm 👍

[dense parcel]

Ain't gonna happen

[fast timber]

It was leaked a while back

[dense parcel]

They choose to make apex legends n milk it

[dense parcel]

Ah yes leaks but nothing confirmed

[fast timber]

The Nvidia thing

[dense parcel]

Prob went under radar

Plus they barely made bank with 1 and 2 and they making content n whatnot for Apex n most likely if they did make tf3 it'll prob barely have any players just like 1 and 2 which means no bread

Tho 1 and 2 get released around when the main shooters dropped which was battlefield and cod so if they release it earlier in the year before those 2 drop a game they might actually have a good player base

[sour moon]

Visual studio enterprise auto correct is really bad

I want x.y not x.z

[nimble cradle]

I need a better rig to actually run VS without it stuttering every 10 lines.

[solemn eagle]

Ok. I think I need a break from DOOM. 6 hours of ultra violence. Jeez

[nimble cradle]

Is this one of those "no HUD" gameplay?

[solemn eagle]

Nah I use HUD for now. My first play through lol.

Ultra-Violence is one below nightmare tho ans it kicks my ass sometimes lol

[nimble cradle]

I can't get into the new DOOM games, partly because I'm still loving Doom 3 and trying to clear Dead Space trilogy on the hardest diffs 😂

[solemn eagle]

Oh man cant do the Dead Spaces on the hardest diff. That game scares me enough on normal diff lmao

My eyes are bugging out rn from such a long period of consistent, fast violence. I haven't sat down to play a game for that long in one sitting in awhile lol

[nimble cradle]

That was 6 hours in one go? Dang son, remember to eat some oxygen

[solemn eagle]

Eatin some now lol

Its been hot as hell outside

[nimble cradle]

I'm personally not into horror games, but Dead Space is frickin' awesome, gameplay and lore wise. It's brilliant...until EA ruined it all to bits.

[solemn eagle]

Very true. Then you got callisto project comin'. Looks dope

No EA included in order

I dont think?

[nimble cradle]

Yeah, that Callisto trailer looked brilliant, but I'm probably better off watching someone play it instead 😂

[solemn eagle]

Yea they looked like they ramped the horror up big time lol

[nimble cradle]

Business decisions ruined Dead Space, courtesy of EA which affected Visceral since.

[solemn eagle]

3 was a weird one I could tell

It was fun tho still

[nimble cradle]

DS3 was a hodge podge of emotions, but that Awakened ending is utterly frustrating 😂

[solemn eagle]

Yea I also remember struggling a lot at that end point lmao

[nimble cradle]

Maybe it's for the best. Some things are better left off unanswered or cliffhanged

[solemn eagle]

I forgot what difficulty I played on. Was a hot minute ago

True true lol

[nimble cradle]

Nowadays when I'm not playing TD2 I'm clearing Ninja Gaiden Black and MG Rising for the shenanigans

[solemn eagle]

I almost got MG rising in the sale

[nimble cradle]

Maybe play DMC 4 & 5 again, or the good old RE games

Yeah, it's coming in hot and reduced

[solemn eagle]

It's still not bad off sale. Might just buy it even then when done with doom and hardspace

I'm also probably gonna get death stranding cus it's so damn cheap now even off sale lol

I kinda like chill games like that

[nimble cradle]

Summer sales are going crazy right now, even Sekiro has a discount but it's still an extortion to pay €40 quid for it lmfao smh

[solemn eagle]

Yea I would say that's a lot for that game still. It's been out for awhile.

[nimble cradle]

Yeah, few years now if I'm right. I've always wanted to play it but never wanted to pay the full price

[solemn eagle]

They should drop it to about $30. That is more reasonable given its age and Elden Ring has been out for months now.

I wanted to get elden ring before Doom and stuff but I dont want to pay full price. I feel like I'm gonna have even more fun knowing I got it on sale lol

When I do that is

[nimble cradle]

I'd consider 30 quid, but 20 or 15 is a steal 😂

[solemn eagle]

Yea. Lower is to 30 at full then put it on sale should get it to around 20 or 15. Maybe in another 6 months or so I feel like they would do that. Elden ring will be around a year old by then

And maybe they'll have another in the oven by then too lol

[nimble cradle]

Mmm I'd probably give Elden Ring three years before we see significant reductions, or maybe 1.5 or 2 years at the earliest. Could be a pipe dream though

[solemn eagle]

Yea you prolly right tbh

[nimble cradle]

I ain't played a single second of ER but I've seen the hype and the memes. Seems like good, sweaty fun

[solemn eagle]

Yea same here. Although I've tried not to watch too much on the story or anything. Just some early deets on the bosses

And builds

But still hardly anything

Seems like mages got steroids in this one

[sour moon]

Lmao on ps someone got butt hurt at my miserable meme + reported me but not the guy who was swearing and saying meme words in chat

[smoky nexus]

Mfw no meme channel

[fast timber]

Going between two stations in Elite Dangerous, ferrying some booze.

[frozen sparrow]

[shy vine]

I just pretend to be British or Nigerian occasionally

[frozen sparrow]

[amber horizon]

@shy vine what

[fast timber]

Why would you ever pretend to be british

[shy vine]

I hate myself

[fast timber]

That is the only reasonable context

[sour moon]

Oh yeah and wifi is top notch and new. 78 mb speeds on a test only with the tv connected to it
