[ornate zinc]

Hmmmm Monke :D

[ornate zinc]

I can start my contacting those on my list

But i need a bear replacement

[tall forge]

Technically finish the final race in Forza but still haven’t done all the races

[wild shale]

[tall forge]

How far are you taz?

[wild shale]

i have finished pretty much everything now, all achievements minus the festival ones and the level 100 one

hbu?

[tall forge]

Oh wow

I got my golden wrist band and finished the Goliath and the 3 other very long races

I have around less than 50 bonus boards and mascots

But still like 30 more races todo

[wild shale]

ah nice

[tall forge]

I was streaming it so me is going at a little slower pace

[wild shale]

fair enough

[tall forge]

Starting Pokémon platinum but waiting to get good natures for each starter

[ornate zinc]

You’re trading them to get all 3

Snh

Traded pokemon get a higher amount of xp

[tall forge]

Yup

[turbid sun]

Is this playground or 🕊️

[gloomy shuttle]

The reveal was just Rocket League is going to be in Unreal Engine 6.

[drifting fox]

i was surprised FG wasn't featured in the art

[gloomy shuttle]

Because it's a Unity game

[drifting fox]

i'm fully expecting Epic to port it to UE6 too

[wild shale]

they gotta wait for ue7, then it can truely shine 💪

[drifting fox]

although i did just remember that there was a Unity x Epic Games announcement

so could remain unity

[ornate zinc]

Basically what would happen is the unreal engine would emulate unity code, which sadly isn’t possible on some low end devices for big games like fall guys

[lapis arch]

It could also be that if fall guys does get ported to fortnite, its port is just not ready yet

Especially since crown jam was done recently (from what we know it was in development last year) and was supposed to be a test for the game to be in unreal engine, perhaps in the next 1-2 years they may also be working on the ue6 port

[ornate zinc]

If this was SS3, it would be possible but we’re way too late for that sadly

[lapis arch]

Ehhh not sure honestly

Im still confused if ue6 is releasing this year or in the next 1-2 years but if anything the port should be done in a few years from now (if it does exist in the first place that is)

[ornate zinc]

Possibly chapter 8 or 9

RIP switch

[lapis arch]

If i take the last rocket racing season until the announcement of ue6, its like 2 years i think

Roughly the same time

[ornate zinc]

Yeah basically

The fall guys side mode was made as a test for MT to dive into fortnite

It not the first time they played with unreal engine though

That said, it easier to port rocket league into fortnite than it is for fall guys

[lapis arch]

Oh yea for sure

[ornate zinc]

They also would’ve announced that fall guys was coming to UE6 as well in the announcement

[lapis arch]

Yea, which is why i personally think they left it out

It wouldnt make sense to announce something that isnt even ready

[ornate zinc]

I mean the current thing also isn’t ready yet

[gloomy shuttle]

Even the Switch 2?

[ornate zinc]

Nah just switch

Beside the switch version is basically done for anyway

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually see a proper Rocket League Switch 2 port.

Just so they have it in the new engine.

[hollow willow]

FG being ported to UE6? I don't think so!

[lapis arch]

You mean ue6 for rocket league?

Yea thats what its confusing me because they never revealed a date yet leakers are saying the new menu is this year despite tim sweeney himself saying ue6 wont be ready for at least 2027/2028

[ornate zinc]

I mean, they also didn’t bother to launch fall guys mobile on some countries

[lapis arch]

Unless they would need to change engines in fortnite too

From ue5 to ue6

[ornate zinc]

They would

And they’re likely gonna be doing that

rip switch version

[lapis arch]

Then fair enough (unfortunately yea)

Also explains why rocket racing is only getting removed in october, perhaps there is a rocket racing 2.0 update around the time of the ue6 port

[ornate zinc]

100% not anymore

[lapis arch]

Personally would love to see rocket racing returning as 2.0, maybe this time it will actually be much more well recievied considering how the main feature of ue6 is to make fortnite experiences as standalone games

(and hopefully much more polished this time)

[normal eagle]

i went to the movies tonight chat

[gloomy shuttle]

Which movie?

[normal eagle]

the mandalorian

[gloomy shuttle]

Aah okay.

How was it for you?

[normal eagle]

pretty good, never seen the show before but still enjoyed it

[unborn jewel]

UE5 to UE6 feels as pointless as PS5 to PS6 (unless PS6 ends up being a hybrid console like Switch 2 or something).

[ornate zinc]

UE6 is apparently more focus on optimization than presentation

[unborn jewel]

Hmm...

[ornate zinc]

Basically UE5 was focus on graphics but did terrible in optimization

Which was why RL skipped UE5 when given the chance to transition to it when it first came out

It also why some devs ended up sticking to UE4

So i guess they’re trying to make another UE4 with UE6

[unborn jewel]

I'll look into UE6.

I'm strongly leaning towards Unity for making video games one day but...

On a different note, I'm making a Kit Bodega (Gameoverse) 3D model,

[ornate zinc]

You should consider UE6 as a threat

[unborn jewel]

I'm focused more on which game engine is best for me as an individual. Which one will give me the least issues.

[gloomy shuttle]

Honestly concerned with UE6 knowing how Sweeney is with his Pro-AI stance. 💀

So I'm not too optimistic about it especially when next month happens.

He'll probably say that UE6 will integrate generative AI or something like that. 🫤

[tall forge]

So I got a good nature chimchar but still trying to get piplup next

[wild shale]

where did all these orbs come from

ohh is this retroactive

i could also have just been hoarding them this much and didnt realise

[tall forge]

I just found out there’s a 2025 version of sleepy head in Forza

I finally turned the radio on since me done streaming it

[tall forge]

I got an extremely good car that I really like a lot

[tall forge]

Ok so turns out it’s one of if not the best car in the game lol

[normal eagle]

can i have some

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/golden-retriever-walking-away-meme-dogs-tiktok-gif-2186310893419586062

stay away from my orbs!

[normal eagle]

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/poke-poke-dog-cute-dog-dog-black-dog-gif-1513097529454962591

[normal eagle]

bro cannot be ragebaited

[wild shale]

resistant to it

[tall forge]

I’ve almost done every race I got all bonus boards and mascots

And all roads

[gloomy shuttle]

Best funny weapon of the season is back this Saturday!

[ornate zinc]

I mean, can’t say i care much about it

We got fingerguns over fishing for vaulted loots

[normal eagle]

otzdarva put out a video showcasing a bit of jason's gameplay, he looks soo fun [dbd]

[unreal ibex]

I saw Jason’s mori it looks so cool

[turbid sun]

no way they're bringing back the rarest skin in the game so casually

as if it isn't the equivalent if not more influential than bringing back the og galaxy skin or ikonik

like that skin is so rare it makes og renegade raider look like a default

[ornate zinc]

It was never said to be exclusive

That why they’re able bring it back

[turbid sun]

yeah I know but it's still absurd

[wild shale]

what skin?

[ornate zinc]

Now we need rue to return

[turbid sun]

blue fella in the very bottom left corner

[turbid sun]

I've been waiting so long for that to return

[wild shale]

looks mid ngl

[turbid sun]

it's such a good skin and I hate the fact that it was blacklisted due to those complaints

[turbid sun]

I hate to break it to you but most rare skins look mid lol

if not all actually

[wild shale]

true

idk what my rarest skin would be tbh

glow i guess

[ornate zinc]

Mine could be clyde or the mobile jacket skins

[turbid sun]

mine is probably rainbow racer which I never use anyway

I suppose iris is rare too

[wild shale]

i like how i just happened to buy a samsung phone when one of the promotions was going on

and i ended up with my main skin forever basically

[turbid sun]

Im still mad that I could never convince my parents to let me get ikonik or galaxy even after I explained to them that we could return the phone 💔

[turbid sun]

huh

[wild shale]

galaxy is mid... glow is better 🔥

[turbid sun]

ngl glow is fire

and galaxy does look mid

but ikonik and the scenario emote are fire so i am mainly just livid about that

[wild shale]

i bought a note 10 plus which had the same sorta colours as glow

[ornate zinc]

Should’ve done what everyone else did to get them

Go to a mobile phone display and sign into fortnite

[turbid sun]

vro i was a tiny little fella at the time

i couldn't even convince them to take me to the phone store 🕊️

[ornate zinc]

I really only want Ikonik for the emote tbh

[turbid sun]

same ngl

[ornate zinc]

Rufus and Clyde head model reminds me of those VR furries model who were mostly designed from the front

And not everywhere else

[gloomy shuttle]

They're only bringing it back because of Typical Gamer.

[turbid sun]

I see

[gloomy shuttle]

Personally don't really care for the skin.

But cool for the community, I guess..

To be frank, I'm not really itching to getting new original skins. Just fine with the ones I own.

I got Katt, Safety Guard Steve, Keisha Cross, Doughberman, Oscar, Pingwin, The Mechanist, and Kingston as is.

[gloomy shuttle]

That's fine, I'm mostly just gonna log on and get the rewards on that day. And also the Twitch drops as I missed out on.

[ornate zinc]

People are now asking for Paradigm to return now

[gloomy shuttle]

Apparently she only appeared in the Shop 2 years back or something?

Original skins-wise, the only ones I wouldn't mind getting through the Shop would just be Ural the Sage and the original Penny.

Other than that, I just roll the dice with the Battle & OG Passes to see if there's any original skin I would likely use often.

There just hasn't been an original design I would really want anyway. And for collab skins, I just only aim for the ones I mainly love/like enough for.

[ornate zinc]

I mean, she did returned, and you did get her, and then refunded her

[gloomy shuttle]

I never took the chance when I did.

Which was my bad. ;-;

[ornate zinc]

You could’ve waited a couple more hours

[gloomy shuttle]

I know. 😔

[gloomy shuttle]

Which even that's a bit rare sometimes, and some of my wants are rather niche anyway besides like.. Steven Universe and The Muppets. 🥲

[ornate zinc]

You get a car instead

[gloomy shuttle]

Wasn't that Season 23 image false?

[ornate zinc]

Yep, but someone recreated it

[gloomy shuttle]

To be frank, I wouldn't mind a Kermit car if that's all it had to be. Would love a skin, but if they had to do the SpongeBob way and just being a sidekick with several items alongside it. Then I'd be okay with that too.

But again, there are more collabs than just Muppets I would love. Just a matter of what would even be possible.

I thought having Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy was cool, even if it would've been nice to have more than just Ed, a backbling and a pickaxe. But I can't really complain.

[fresh falcon]

You got in the kermit-o-mobile

[gloomy shuttle]

The most I could want with The Muppets if not a Kermit skin would just be emotes & Jam Tracks.

If they're gonna do more collab sidekicks, I just wish it was like the SpongeBob collab where it isn't just the sidekick.

[ornate zinc]

Hey Crimson, did you ever get unreal in C5S3 that wasn’t RR

[gloomy shuttle]

Anyways, I'm gonna assume Season 3 (collabs-wise) is gonna be stuff like:

• The Boys
• Invincible (Wave 3)
• Avatar: The Last Airbender (Wave 2)
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Masters of the Universe
• American Dad (cuz Father's Day)
• Toy Story (Wave 2 - Woody & Jessie)
• Supergirl
• Spider-Man: Brand New Day (probably)

[fresh falcon]

not for sure?

[ornate zinc]

It was your first season, i’m asking cause my ranked item from wrecked are now at unreal

Despite me never getting unreal in wrecked

[fresh falcon]

I didn't do rank until the next season

[ornate zinc]

What about RR

[fresh falcon]

Possible?

[ornate zinc]

I’m guessing it now counting my unreal status from RR since i got unreal in the entirety of chapter 5

[gloomy shuttle]

Uhh Originals-wise, honestly I don't even know what they could go for into Season 3's pass.

Same for the Shop skins, probably some more from the survey and a few unique ones. They can revive older survey skin concepts

Like the Toon Brite Bomber in this update

[ornate zinc]

Well at least it means my Pantheon umbrella is pretty now

[turbid sun]

can't wait for the rox reskin next og season

and the demi reskin

[tall forge]

Still trying to get modest nature for piplup

[turbid sun]

lwk still mad they didn't do an ember reskin for s8

by far my favorite s8 skin and they just didn't reskin it

[ornate zinc]

Actually it likely gonna just singularity for the female side of the pass

Since she got confirmed to be coming next season

[turbid sun]

WHAT ARE THEY DOING WTF

[ornate zinc]

Singularity got confirmed to be getting a remix

Since she apart of the lore now

[turbid sun]

singularity genuinely sucks vro

[ornate zinc]

I mean if they do two females, chances are season x will be 2 males, 1 female

[gloomy shuttle]

Uhh.. if they're gonna revive old survey concepts after that Toon Brite Bomber now? I want these ones to have a second chance:

[turbid sun]

well they better just do 3 seasons in a row of 2 females idk

if not all females idk

[ornate zinc]

They already did

Or it will happen if season 9 is like that

[turbid sun]

dang

[ornate zinc]

Cause that means season x

[turbid sun]

I'm borderline about that flame skin

looks kinda cool but its body proportions seem strange

[gloomy shuttle]

It'd be slightly different at least. 🥲

Slightly.

Cuz technically that's just Penny.

[ornate zinc]

They’re doing something else with elfs, they could’ve probably made ember the fire elemental elf, but they didn’t

[turbid sun]

idk it just feels like a skin that doesn't know how to focus on one main theme

it's like a mix of a flame skin and an overly buff gym girl

[turbid sun]

dang that coulda been fire

[ornate zinc]

Literally

[gloomy shuttle]

The only new designs from the most latest surveys I would partially care for is these:

But only if they look really good enough tbh.

[turbid sun]

im sure a certain someone in this chat would love that second skin

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, Bear's been wanting it to happen.

[turbid sun]

also that first skin looks pretty fire

i like the mysterious swordsman theme it has

[ornate zinc]

Here the earth elemental

[turbid sun]

which it does seem strange to combo a swordsman with a CIA agent type thing but it still looks fire ig

[turbid sun]

now this is peak

it reminds me of the dryad from terraria

[gloomy shuttle]

But again, I don't really buy original skins too often.

The last original skin I bought was Pingwin.

[turbid sun]

tbf I don't really have anything better to spend my vbucks on since I get a ton from stw

[gloomy shuttle]

Only cuz it was a survey design I really wanted and bought it just cuz it looked cute

[ornate zinc]

Here the water one
And you already know about the snow one

[gloomy shuttle]

My purchases nowadays are just collab skins (only if it's from an IP/series I love enough which rarely happens sometimes), Emotes, and Jam Tracks. And occasionally a pickaxe or glider if it looks funny to use or cool.

[turbid sun]

The water one looks pretty cool but looks similar to slurpentine

[gloomy shuttle]

I was close to buying Daffy, but I felt content with Bugs Bunny as is. Besides the Daffy Duck emote, I wish the emotes around Looney Tunes we're a little more memorable.

I also thought of wanting Hercules a little, but decided nah. Just got the Zero to Hero Jam Track cuz I had to.

And then I like Ben 10, but not as passionately. Just neutral to it. Same for Phineas & Ferb, just neutral with the series. But glad that they both happened.

I love Toy Story, but at the same time wasn't itching to get a skin for it. But still thought it was cool/funny. I did gift Buzz to a friend at least. 😅

[gloomy shuttle]

The emote for the Water & Fire skins was cool looking.

In retrospect, probably should've gotten that traversal bandaid emote.

[turbid sun]

man I just found out that typical gamer tried to make his skin and entire bundle free for everyone

but ofc epic denied it because they wanna maximize profits instead of respect the wishes of the content creator

[ornate zinc]

@turbid sun i know the perfect skin for season x og pass
Instead of Catalyst, how about we get a remix of peely as a female

[turbid sun]

oh dear

that's not what i meant by i wanted more females

we already have more peelys than atoms in this universe

[ornate zinc]

Another female fishsticks

[turbid sun]

no animal females ❌

[limpid reef]

distinct lack of joy

[gloomy shuttle]

Unrelated, but so far into the weight loss.. I'm already nearing to break out of the 290 range.

Juggling between 290-292.

Was sorta stuck around 296 for the past weeks.

[gloomy shuttle]

I just wish some of the human female designs we're a bit more memorable by design sometimes.

I guess technically the new nurse designs are neat and Toon Brite Bomber is also neat.

Still don't really care too much for the Season 2 pass in terms of the original skin picks this season. 😔

[tall forge]

YES

got modest piplup

[ornate zinc]

What are their nicknames

[tall forge]

Hahaha…. Yeah…. Me awful at nicknaming

[turbid sun]

distinct pure joy

[turbid sun]

i mean idk they cook every now and then

[tall forge]

I wanna point out while trying todo this winning the fight with piplup gave 67 xp and turtwig is giving 69

Oh wow I got adamant with it 3 tries for Turtwig

[tall forge]

Ok me is very lucky rn I got adamant starly and shinx which I want for my team shinx was first try

Last Pokémon I want for my team is gastly

[swift yacht]

Link the chicken don't u play pokemon go ?

[tall forge]

Haven’t played in a few years

[tall forge]

I managed to back up saves onto my PC just in case

I should really do that with some games just in case

[hollow willow]

I thought the mandalorian was season 4 and nothing on Disney+ which just got me confused

movie? what the hell

[wild shale]

the new mando movie yeah

[hollow willow]

I was looking forward to watch on disney+

[wild shale]

maybe in a couple months

[hollow willow]

bah

thanks anyway

[frozen turtle]

hello

Bruh pokemon go is not like fall guys it's anti ban if u are caught using spoofer direct temporary ban for 7 days and next ban is account ban

The Joan Jett song is now finally free from the pass and into the Shop.

[ornate zinc]

He talking about pokemon platinum

[tall forge]

[tall forge]

Man I do not remember the sinnoh region at all

Or some of the route themes

[ornate zinc]

So who your HM slave

[tall forge]

Nobody yet

I just finished getting the first badge

Last night

[ornate zinc]

Oh good, Cause sinnoh has 8 HMs

[tall forge]

Well surf is going on empolion when I get there and fly on starly

So that’s 2

[ornate zinc]

Btw if you have black and white 2, you can connect to the fan servers

[tall forge]

I do

I have white 1 and 2

[ornate zinc]

I have both black 2 and white 2

[tall forge]

I eventually probably gonna redo a playthrough of that.

[ornate zinc]

BW2 are long games

[tall forge]

Before I do I would want to back up my original saves

I mostly forgot the sinnoh region but the unova I remember more

[ornate zinc]

If you have a GBA game in the GBA slot of a DS, you can catch exclusive pokemons

[tall forge]

That’s the fun part

I have emerald but not a ds

[ornate zinc]

Not even a ds lite

[tall forge]

Well I do…. But the top screen doesn’t work

[ornate zinc]

Blind playthrough

[tall forge]

Pokémon but me blind

[ornate zinc]

Anyway sinnoh is just okay

Arguably the worst of the pokemon games before the 3Ds era

[tall forge]

Sad

[ornate zinc]

It just not a fun era

Since you need 8 HMs to get through the game

A lot of backtracking

It being slow

Platinum had to fix some of issues

[tall forge]

Wasn’t surfing in diamond and pearl a lot slower

[ornate zinc]

Yep

Painfully slow

[swift yacht]

That sucks

Pokemon platinum is gba game

No one plays gba game anymore

[wild shale]

thats just not even correct

on multiple counts

[ornate zinc]

I enjoy pokemon platinum more than pokemon go tbh

[tall forge]

My brain rn

It honestly feels like me is playing the game again for the first time since I haven’t played in so long

And I decided to go all out with the Pokémon’s lol

[wild shale]

i started pokemon after platinum so i havent played it

[tall forge]

I started with diamond

[ornate zinc]

You skipped out on bdsp too?

[wild shale]

yeah i did actually

ive only beaten, x, sun, lets go, shield, arceus, violet and z-a

i had black but didnt play it much

i guess i also beat some spinoffs like both pokeparks and a couple rumble games

[ornate zinc]

You skipped out on BW2 and ORAS

[wild shale]

oh wait i played omega ruby

i forgor

[ornate zinc]

Anyway, the sinnoh games, you aren’t really missing out on much

[wild shale]

people really like sinnoh tho

[ornate zinc]

Beside the soundtrack of course

[ornate zinc]

When people talk about sinnoh, it either the legendary, the soundtrack, the new pokemon locked to post games or trading, lack of fire types, and HMs
Oh and Cynthia

It never really about sinnoh though

And some of issues got fixed in platinum

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/poke-poke-dog-cute-dog-dog-black-dog-gif-1513097529454962591

i have seen so many consider sinnoh top 3

usually 2nd behind unova

[ornate zinc]

Oh and in BDSP, they made cynthia and the elite 4 have competitive made pokemons

[ornate zinc]

It usually platinum, but never DP

[wild shale]

well yeah

same region tho

[ornate zinc]

That BDSP reverted

[wild shale]

its a shame they never remade gen 4

[ornate zinc]

They never wanna talk about BDSP, despite being the true sinnoh experience

[wild shale]

most people do mean platinum

which is so weird they just didnt remake the objectively better game

[ornate zinc]

The original director didn’t work on platinum that why

[wild shale]

midrector!

[ornate zinc]

Platinum had to fix a bunch of issues from DP

And because it the middle version, it was the version that was bought the least

[wild shale]

a rerelease being able to turn a game with problems into manys favourite 🤔

gen 4 tho sold amazing overall

[ornate zinc]

Oh yeah big time

But platinum was the least sold out of the 5 games in gen 4

[wild shale]

well that makes sense

3rd versions do tend to sell less

[ornate zinc]

Yep

Meaning most people experience DP than platinum backthen

[wild shale]

i believe platinum is only behind yellow in terms of 3rd release sales

[ornate zinc]

Rip BW2 and emerald sales

[wild shale]

black and white 2 sold more but not by much which is impressive of platinum

cause of those people that buy both

[ornate zinc]

Taz, get a emerald copy

[wild shale]

why

also they havent rereleased it yet

[ornate zinc]

Cause i said so

Anyway, compared to gen 3, where you hear people still compliment ruby and sapphire despite being the inferior version of emerald.

Compared to gen 4, where DP gets talk about nostalgia reasons, but still refer you to platinum for the issues that dp has

[wild shale]

oh yeah for sure

its just a replacement

[ornate zinc]

Gen 3 has it problems like trade restrictions in Emerald and FRLG

You’re not able to trade in emerald until after you beat the elite 4

While FRLG, sevii islands post game quest to unlock trading with hoenn games

[wild shale]

yeah thats quite strange

im really hoping in the future someday we get a pokemon game with a harder difficulty option

with double battles that use proper comp strats

[tall forge]

I got my ghastly and now have my full team

[gloomy shuttle]

Hopefully this week's shop rotation will get the Toony Stride. 🙏

[ornate zinc]

More free stuff

[swift yacht]

I suscribe your yt channel bruh

[wild shale]

what

[gloomy shuttle]

Ooh, the wrap looks nice actually

Oh and yeah, Nintendo just confirmed that they'll have UE6 Rocket League

[ornate zinc]

I mean they also retweet a lot of fortnite stuff

[slate seal]

Cool

[fresh falcon]

You gotta win a victory royale in any of the main epic modes to get those on community day

The easiest is blitz

[ornate zinc]

Peak rewards tbh

[fresh falcon]

Out of the whole free items. They're doing for that day. Yeah It is

[unborn jewel]
