zealot-class

[lament blaze]

i get that

[potent gate]

It's like

[frozen kernel]

Hades 1-2 manage to not suck for this

[potent gate]

You get a hand and roll with it

It's the runs where you're op that's the most boring

[lament blaze]

i know. it just gets to me

[potent gate]

I get it

[frozen kernel]

It’s not even that

[lament blaze]

dead cells i really liked

[frozen kernel]

I don’t give a fuck about the RNG when the base game is fun

But RoR2 feels like a chore on some characters

[lament blaze]

it felt less RNG-y and was a lot of fun

[placid fiber]

I get it too, but, for me... being op means there's no threat to overcome... and then it's boring

[frozen kernel]

So when you get shit items on top of that

It just feels awful

[placid fiber]

I want that struggle

[potent gate]

I genuinely think this is just a mindset issue.

Don't get me wrong. I do understand what you're saying. I had the same feeling with artificer and acrid ages ago.

[placid fiber]

What does it matter if I get good items?

[potent gate]

But you can minimise the runs rng so much in ror2

[frozen kernel]

But got forbid you play what you enjoy in games and people get all upset because you aren’t playing the meta or some shit

Or the game just says “nah not for you”

[lament blaze]

roguelikes where the RNG is less pronounced are more fun for me for this reason

[frozen kernel]

Division 2 did that

You don’t want to use a shield? Sucks

[potent gate]

One handed shield in div2 was meta for legend for ages

It was so bad xd

[frozen kernel]

I don’t even keep up with ubislop anymore

[potent gate]

They had an update a few months ago where they reworked stuff

[frozen kernel]

They’ve packed all the RPG bullshit I hate into their gsnes

[potent gate]

And it's quite a bit better now

[placid fiber]

Idc if you play meta or not. When you play solo it's your game to play how you will. Complaining about poor rng is different. You won't always gets good items and saying fuck this shit cause I didn't get 3 great items is shallow

[potent gate]

Other weapons aside from ARs got a big glow up

[frozen kernel]

I think it’s fucking hilarious that they tried to turn Ghost Recon into a looter shooter

Everyone hated it

And they just went

“Oh hey here’s a new gamemode we worked really hard on that completely turns off the bullshit”

“Your guns are now firearms again. No more blue MP7 outgunning your green MP7!”

[placid fiber]

Still... play whoever you find fun. I won't knock you for not playing a survivor you don't find fun. Shitting on good survivors just makes me sad tho, but, I get it. Not every survivor is for everyone

I don't play loader cuz she's just op

[frozen kernel]

It’s so much more than that and as a veteran player you should know exactly what changes and bugs came with the DLC that would’ve made any new players first experience of the game pretty awful

[placid fiber]

What are you even talking about. A year ago would have been survivors of the void which was still a good dlc for the game

Like yeah it made the game harder

[frozen kernel]

Yolked spawn rates of elites and other bugs

Like acrid losing collision

[placid fiber]

That was this dlc

that we just got

[frozen kernel]

That clip I sent was after they fixed it

That one then

[placid fiber]

Seekers of the storm wasn't even an idea back then

[frozen kernel]

Lemme get on desktop so if don’t send you a photo of my screen

First cheevo

[potent gate]

Dlcs are also toggleble which can make game easier

[placid fiber]

^

[frozen kernel]

Most recent cheevo

[placid fiber]

You can toggle them off

I have to go now, but, hope you all have a good day

[frozen kernel]

I dont remember much about playing back in January

[placid fiber]

My head is sitll killing me

[frozen kernel]

But when I came back in September it felt icky

Other games like Hades 2 despite being early access did not feel icky, so I played those instead

Such is the way of the Steam library

[copper hawk]

Noobz

[frozen kernel]

If your takeaway from me saying "Damn I hate how bad RNG makes the game feel bad" as "Acrid is a dogshit worthless character and I dont care about your opinion" then that is a you problem, I'm sorry

[copper hawk]

What r u NOOBZ talkin about

[frozen kernel]

Ror2

[copper hawk]

Nerdz..

[frozen kernel]

See I play other bad games with shit RNG

Like Darktide

[copper hawk]

War thunder..

[lunar fable]

man

ror2 isn't 100% for me anymore

[misty nova]

Peak spotted

[hard nexus]

shit thunder

[lunar fable]

since they added 3 achievements with the dlc

https://tenor.com/view/risk-of-rain-2-risk-of-rain-loader-swing-spin-gif-4986514638946349909

[lunar fable]

and i am not buying the dlc

[frozen kernel]

Quick search online reminds me that update at the end of last year also tied a lot things like damage to frame rate so if you have a good PC, go fuck yourself lmao

[copper hawk]

LOVE thunder

[lunar fable]

[north sedge]

Achievements are worthless dogshit ignore them

[frozen kernel]

I started playing the game after buying a 4070ti

[copper hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/konata-hawk-hawk-tuah-konata-hawk-tuah-gif-12358301043525212611

[frozen kernel]

this tbh

[clever swan]

my rarest achievement on steam is .01%

[copper hawk]

Abysmal dogshit ?

Noh

Braggin rightz

[frozen kernel]

the perfect games are just the ones I either played religiously or they were stupid easy to 100%

[copper hawk]

Idk what my rarest achievement is

[hard nexus]

i’d have to check mine

[fleet zealot]

We lost half our party

But the campaign goes on

[frozen kernel]

I swear I've had "rarer" than what is displayed but maybe not

[clever swan]

you're kinda lucky if you have a .1% achievement as your rarest

but if you have hell let loose you can get one in minutes

[frozen kernel]

I feel like it'd just be like getting the final ending for like a really niche indie game

[clever swan]

nah

[hard nexus]

which one

[copper hawk]

I think my rarer achievments r NMRiH achievements

For finishing levels lmfao

[frozen kernel]

Because if the game has only ever sold like 2500 copies

And you're one of like 7 people who actually finished the whole game

That's gotta be "rare" in a sense

[frozen kernel]

This type shit lol

Ancient source mod but it has cheevos? Bingo

[frozen kernel]

Is that SE5?

[clever swan]

idk what SE5 is

[frozen kernel]

Sniper Elite 5

[copper hawk]

@sullen forge we smokin the bear 5 pack ??

[clever swan]

hell let loose

[frozen kernel]

Ah, I didnt see you were the same person from like 6 lines up

Thought you were just sharing your rarest cheevo, not the HLL one

[clever swan]

no telling how long it'll be .1%, probably not for long

[frozen kernel]

German helmet and "Eisenhorn" made me think sniper elite dlc or something

Most people prolly dont use the freelook so it wont rise too much

[clever swan]

.01%

[frozen kernel]

HLL freelook "simulates" your neck so your view twists

[copper hawk]

Der Eisendrache..

[clever swan]

game: Tactical Intervention

[frozen kernel]

it's weird

[clever swan]

the key is to get an obscure achievement in a game that is shut down

[hard nexus]

how do u se ur rarest

[clever swan]

you have to put on the rarest achievement showcase

[hard nexus]

ah

[clever swan]

or you can use some websites that can analyze your achievements

[copper hawk]

Yah sillu

Silly

[hard nexus]

i’ll go do that rq

brb

[copper hawk]

Dumby.. stimky..

[copper hawk]

[frozen kernel]

I miss Blacklight Retribution

[clever swan]

another thing is oldest achievement

[frozen kernel]

"Fuck it give everyone wallhacks, but you play red light green light when you use it"

[clever swan]

my earliest achievement was before they even kept track of time on them. on or before oct 10, 2007

[copper hawk]

Old person..

[frozen kernel]

I'm not even going to act like I remember doing much in 2007 other than playing HL2DM

[copper hawk]

Old ppl..

[frozen kernel]

I stole the account from my dad when he went to jail

[clever swan]

my current account is only 17 years old cuz my first one got banned. my first one would be 20 years old this year. well, actually, my first one WILL be 20 years old this year, it still exists.

[frozen kernel]

And when he got out I had basically spent more money on games on the account than him

[copper hawk]

[frozen kernel]

He bought a CD copy and I bought it on Steam

[hard nexus]

[frozen kernel]

He was playing on a laptop in the kitchen while I gamed at his desk

[copper hawk]

What's my rarest achievement

[clever swan]

.01% is god-like

worship me

[copper hawk]

Can u check 4 me Meow

[lament blaze]

i remember reading that manual front to back like 100 times

[frozen kernel]

I had the Jedi Code written in the KOTOR control manual

It was just a single thick sheet of paper with all the keybinds on it

[lament blaze]

how do you check rare cheevies?

[copper hawk]

Rare achievment showcase

[clever swan]

make a rarest achievement showwcase or one of multiple websites that can analyze your achievements

[hard nexus]

rarest achievements showcase on ur profile

[copper hawk]

Woahe.. pawesome..

[frozen kernel]

There's a Profile Showcase on your Steam Profile that you can turn on

[copper hawk]

Lmfao

[lament blaze]

[copper hawk]

[copper hawk]

Yo mama

[clever swan]

i only got 100% achievements after 1100 hours in darktide cuz i just didnt care

[lament blaze]

+10 points if you know the game

[copper hawk]

I dont know if i have all the dt achievements

[frozen kernel]

The DT ones are easy

Just level everything to 30

[hard nexus]

i dont

[clever swan]

if you have a friend you can do it in a week or something

[north sedge]

achieve nirvana, free yourself from achievements

[lament blaze]

just speed run some damnation

[copper hawk]

Nop

I no wanna grind

[frozen kernel]

I saw someone online say they farmed the "100 missions with no downs" doing Rolling Steel on sedition

Why tf

[copper hawk]

My mind is too stressed out from stupid army bullshittery

I just want 2 relic blade..

[frozen kernel]

Would you subject yourself to that

[lament blaze]

yeah idk

[clever swan]

it takes forever if you dont grind it

[lament blaze]

like that will just happen

[clever swan]

i only got that one after like 1000 hours

[lament blaze]

play the game for fun you'll get there

[hard nexus]

oooo you want to use mk3 evis oooooooo

[frozen kernel]

Is it in a row or just 100 in general?

[copper hawk]

I do NOT

[hard nexus]

[clever swan]

100 in general

[lament blaze]

unless youre the one dying everytime in which case... maybe drop it down to heresy yeah?

[frozen kernel]

Because if it's not 100 in a row then like

[copper hawk]

Ur girlstink will NOT hypnotize me

[frozen kernel]

Why tf are you farming it

[clever swan]

if it was in a row it would be fucking impossible

[hard nexus]

LMFAO

I have been awoken

Relic is just a better evis

[frozen kernel]

People are bumpy weird

[copper hawk]

[lament blaze]

if it were in a row i'd totally understand grinding malice or lower

[north sedge]

[copper hawk]

Yes

As a jab at all the identity flags

It's rlly boring

[frozen kernel]

"Straight pride" is just weird

[copper hawk]

It's rlly funny

[frozen kernel]

People way too concerned about who people kissing

[lunar fable]

the straight pride people r hiding something

i think

[frozen kernel]

When you kiss the homies goodnight...but not on the lips...

[copper hawk]

I dont rlly care about it much

It's a pride flag

Mine looks like a starburst

Yummy

[frozen kernel]

It's their participation trophy flag so they can say "we have one too!"

[copper hawk]

It's a funny troll

I do like trolling..

[frozen kernel]

I love that the sexuality t shirts in webfishing are very lowkey

Like it's just a fish on your chest colored with whatever flag

As opposed to a whole ass eyesore of a hoodie or something

[copper hawk]

What is webfishing

Is it a more boring tf2 for gen z

[frozen kernel]

$5 internet chatroom with a fishing minigame

Take radio as rifleman because the radio guy is just playing for the M1 carbine

Real one

[copper hawk]

Minthara is 2 evil

And im Drowist

In dnd and so was i in bg3..

[frozen kernel]

Funniest thing BG3 lets you do is create a half drow with regular human skin tones

So you just look like a regular Mediterranean dude and people are like "Ugh, fuckin drow"

[copper hawk]

LMFAO

[frozen kernel]

I like to think the racism just runs so deep they smell it in you like Uncle Ruckus

[grizzled aspen]

[frozen kernel]

"You're one of them from the Underdark, aintcha?"

[grizzled aspen]

Roundhouse kick a drow baby into the sun.

[frozen kernel]

"I can see it in yer eyes"

[grizzled aspen]

Slam dunk a drow into the concrete.

[frozen kernel]

That's just like, standard operating procedure for gnomes

[grizzled aspen]

Throw drow into active volcanoes.

[frozen kernel]

Gnomes are meant to be launched into space

They yearn for the stars

[grizzled aspen]

I am drowist as well but I like playing lawful evil characters so...

[fleet zealot]

Lmao fantasy racism is so good when played well

[drowsy steppe]

so true

I was like 'yes poison me please'

[modern lintel]

me having karlach throw me to places cause i couldnt jump

[frozen kernel]

I do actually like how she opens up because the vulnerable moments feel...idk more real?

Whereas the others just kind of jump your bones and tell you their brief life story

[drowsy steppe]

oh 100% when she opens up its her best moments

[fleet zealot]

My character (in ttrpg not bg3) is technically a quarter drow (half drow and human parent) so the deal is if anyone notices they are likely very racist

[drowsy steppe]

since she feels safe enough to open up after having lived a life of constantly having to watch out for backstabbers, literal and figuratively

[frozen kernel]

I had my friend for this

[drowsy steppe]

dude I fucking love this mod

[modern lintel]

yea but your a halfling so =not epic

[frozen kernel]

Mask of the Shapeshifter into halfling, YEET

I think it's funny that in Dnd halflings are shorter than gnomes

But most people mentally picture hobbits

As a wise man once posted (two hours ago)

I dislike them, but I absolutely hate when theyre named shit like

and its literally just sexualizing them more.

"Shadowheart fixed" and it makes half the screen covered by meat balloons no matter how far you zoom out

I just hate the damage 2B has done to gamers

I hate Nier for that so much that I can't actually enjoy that game

[lament blaze]

My favorite is when people mod an old game to try and improve the faces but the engine just can't do it right so they uncanny valley it then slap on "improved" to it like no bro

No this is not an improvement

It was the upsk word

[lament blaze]

i tried to say "maybe upsk1rt" and this discord blocked it

that one XD

[frozen kernel]

Either way, the camera literally lowers itself towards the ground and looks up when you sprint so that it looks up her skirt

Which is just creepy and gross

[lament blaze]

what game?

[frozen kernel]

Nier Automata

[lament blaze]

oh.

[visual stream]

Knee Automatic

[lament blaze]

yeah that always looked like a horndog corndog game

to me

[frozen kernel]

Lorded by virgins as the deepest piece of media in the last 20 years because it's provided them endless wankbait

[lament blaze]

LOL

[frozen kernel]

I can't stand it

[lament blaze]

yeah right

disco elysium exists

smh my head

[frozen kernel]

There is a somewhat decent story in there, beneath the bullshit

[lament blaze]

but there's no endless spank bank material

[frozen kernel]

But it's mired in so much dogshit and perversion that I personally just couldn't get that far into it before I was too annoyed to go on

It's little things too, because you know he's a weird Japanese man that takes pride in being a weird pervert

[lament blaze]

women are not allowed to just be women in video games

they either need to be sexualized and/or beautiful or strongly anti-sexualized/ugly

they cant just be. a woman.

Not literally always but you get my point

[hexed igloo]

I don't mean to be that guy but it doesn't lmao I think bro just got stick drift or a twitchy thumb

[frozen kernel]

No, I expressly took time to test it out

If I'm looking forwards and start to run, the camera will start to lean back. It's probably under the guise of "so you can appreciate more of the world and skybox when you run" but it does end up looking up your dress

[hexed igloo]

It ain't that big a deal tbh, I played through it twice and didn't notice it

Either way if you try to look up her skirt 2b kicks the cam away so

[frozen kernel]

Maybe if you jam it up her ass between the model and a wall sure

There's a distance where she clearly doesnt give a shit

[hexed igloo]

Eh

They wouldn't put more polygons in her ass than the entirety of Ocarina of Time just for nobody to look at it

[frozen kernel]

It's only 40 gigs, I'll install it to test it out right now lol

[hexed igloo]

If you want ig, I don't really care that much tho

I'll take your word for it

[frozen kernel]

The part that sucks the most

is that the actual gameplay isnt bad

If you replaced 2B with a crash test dummy I'd be fine, I just hate the goonerbait

Just give her stockings ffs

[clever swan]

creepy and gross? more like based and based

[hexed igloo]

Mate I don't mean to be an ass but if an otherwise incredible game is ruined for you by an ass, that's a you problem

[frozen kernel]

I've explained that it's the Yokotaroisms

[hexed igloo]

[drowsy steppe]

yea I dont really give too much shi about the character design

Yes, the director's perversion and reveling in it like a badge of honor does kind of ruin the experience for me

Im sorry

[drowsy steppe]

I think its sexy

[hexed igloo]

Based and real

[clever swan]

im hyped for stellar blade pc

probably the best looking girl in gaming

[hexed igloo]

So some of the elden ring characters having their feet out ruins the entire game for you?

[frozen kernel]

Steller Blade protag's outfit was pefectly fine too

[lament blaze]

I mean it is blatantly shoving sensuality in a game that has no need to it

It adds nothing. That's not what the game is about in any manner. You are being ridiculous if you don't think it's wankbait.

That doesn't mean you can't like the game

[hexed igloo]

Average game where the creator has a mask fetish so several characters have masks ruin it?

[frozen kernel]

No, because the camera doesnt slowly lower itself to look at my toes when I run

[hexed igloo]

Where do you draw the line?

[frozen kernel]

The game does not intentionally create cutscene angles meant to oggle my character in Elden Ring

[fleet zealot]

Bladed momentum is hot ass

[frozen kernel]

It doesn't feel like my character's appearance has anything to do with the story of Elden Ring

[fleet zealot]

Duration too short

Value too low

[lament blaze]

If I ever look at a game character and say "wow. really dude?"

That's where I draw the line

[hexed igloo]

You missed the point bruh

[fleet zealot]

And you can’t proc it vs carapace

[fleet zealot]

Huh

[hexed igloo]

Bro just wants every female protag in games to wear a hijab ig

[frozen kernel]

I think you've missed the point. I don't care that a game has things I don't like in it. I care when it makes them the forefront of my gameplay

[hexed igloo]

Or the shittest pair of trousers and jacket

[clever swan]

[frozen kernel]

Steller Blade protag is literally wearing a skintight bodysuit and it's fine because it's not a fucking goth maid outfit lol

[lament blaze]

This is not in good faith

[frozen kernel]

It's a baffling takeaway

[hexed igloo]

It's baffling you care about this so much

[lament blaze]

You're saying the alternative to "wow can we please stop oversexualizing characters for zero narrative purpose" is "every woman in vidya must wear hijab"

You're being absurd

[hexed igloo]

Bros never heard of an exaggeration

[lament blaze]

I have, and you're doing it in bad faith

[frozen kernel]

Because you tried to take it and act like I'm criticizing the game for showing an inch of shoulder

[visual stream]

It sounds like exaggeration is the only rebuttal here

[lament blaze]

If exaggeration is the only rubuttal then you're wrong

[visual stream]

Not to be mean about it

[hexed igloo]

I just don't understand tbh, I don't get it

[drowsy steppe]

still cant get over this

we look so good 🥹

[visual stream]

I never played so I can't speak on experience but I can see how once you notice that sort of thing, it's hard to unsee

Like once you realize that Dan was making foot fetish stuff in iCarly

And was making them the forefront of camera angles and plot points many times

[hexed igloo]

Plugged 120hrs into nier and didn't notice it, so ig homie was looking a bit too close at her ass

[frozen kernel]

I'm Japanese and this exact kind of shit is why I don't feel a lot of pride in saying that

It really sticks out when I notice it

Blatant fan service

[lament blaze]

I mean it depends on the kind of game it is. If it's a game trying to be serious and tell a serious story and then there's just wank bait laid on top (ie not adding narrative value)

Then yeah I'm going to hate that

If you make something lighthearted not that serious and have it, go for it.

[frozen kernel]

Throw in that I'm ace so the whole "hurrr durr it's hot" thing really doesn't mean shit to me

[frozen kernel]

This, exactly this. Summed up perfectly

[royal flicker]

Does any one here run heavy sword martyrdom? Is it worth it?

[hexed igloo]

I'm of the firm opinion that if you like the game who cares, it's only a big deal if you make it out to be a big deal

[visual stream]

That can be part of liking the game though

[visual stream]

I feel that is a valid reason not to be as big of a fan

[opal star]

what's happenin today folks

[visual stream]

WE HATE VIDEO GAMES

[frozen kernel]

I made the mistake of insulting 2B

[opal star]

public execution

[frozen kernel]

I'm being crucified and my remains are being scattered to the desert winds

[visual stream]

Like how MOBAs (mostly League and SMITE) sexualize the shit out of every single female character

[hexed igloo]

The funniest part is that you didn't, and I don't even care about that lmao

[opal star]

banx after insulting 2B apparently

[drowsy steppe]

Im biased against Martyr and never played it

but yes you can run it with martyr

[frozen kernel]

Clearly you just want them all dressed like South Park characters smh

[visual stream]

Literally me sweet mother of based

[opal star]

I mean is it really surprising
League MOBA players don't get women so instead they pay a gorillion dollars to see the video game women

[hexed igloo]

Banx after saying slight ass shots ruin a game entirely

[royal flicker]

I was always as well, but running auric heresy recently a lot for the penances, I noticed I don't take much damage.

[frozen kernel]

$400 skin 💀

Just to watch the character get banned

Amazing meme

[lament blaze]

I got really annoyed with that because they stopped giving us sions and urgots

Like ayo go have your sexy characters but gimme some ugly mofos too

[frozen kernel]

The best part about the $400 skin meme

Is that the person they made it for doesnt use skins

[visual stream]

RIGHT

I want more monster champs

[sterile stone]

Bruv that's any game

[lament blaze]

Ugly fuckers banned

[opal star]

what I don't get about the sexualization of the skins is

[sterile stone]

Most games I should say

[frozen kernel]

He mostly uses vanilla skins because he's quoted as saying "Before I went big I had to choose between buying skins or buying ramen"

[opal star]

you can just go on rule34 and-

[visual stream]

Yeah but it is so very much happening more in those games

[sterile stone]

It lies in this

No one wants to play an ugly person

[royal flicker]

sex sells

[hexed igloo]

If I'm playing for 60 hours I'd rather stare at a hot woman

[sterile stone]

People want to be a sexy looking bad ass

[opal star]

true

[sterile stone]

That's simple

[opal star]

well

actually

[hexed igloo]

You take that back right fucking now

[opal star]

my bad gang

[visual stream]

Like Overwatch goons their characters out a lil, Marvel Rivals a lil moreso, but in League they get silly with body proportions to push boobs to the front of every splash art

Or booty

[lament blaze]

that is why it irks me so much. because it works. sex does sell i am aware.

But can we please be better than this. If we want to make art (ie games trying to be serious, and tell a serious narrative) then can we make artistic choices not wankbait make money go up decisions

[drowsy steppe]

yea like the simplest reasoning why people buy shit to look cool in game is people wanna look pretty

[frozen kernel]

you can be a sexy looking badass without just making your character's flesh shiny

and getting your tits out

[drowsy steppe]

same argument can be said as to why IRL you wouldnt dress like a bum

[hexed igloo]

True and real

[drowsy steppe]

because you wanna look the best

[visual stream]

Character doesn't have to be dressed bummy

[drowsy steppe]

I agree

[visual stream]

Just not like your average egirl cosplayer

[drowsy steppe]

but some people do wanna look like something that catches the male or female gaze

[visual stream]

Well they can, it's not a huge issue for me unless the genre/tone is vastly uncalled for that in

[drowsy steppe]

I dont see the need to bash those people lmao

[frozen kernel]

Monster Hunter is great for it

[hexed igloo]

Have you seen the amount of women irl with short skirt/cleavage/stomach out?

Wait stupid question you guys don't see women

[frozen kernel]

It's got some fan servicey gear, sure

But it's also got a lot of regular armor

[drowsy steppe]

Ive seen women with gorgeous dresses yes

[opal star]

women don't exist because I never saw one

[frozen kernel]

That's the kind of mix I like in my games

[drowsy steppe]

and its got oh no

CLEAVAGE

the horror

[opal star]

I lost track of what we were talking about ngl

[visual stream]

When my only point is also exaggeration:

[lament blaze]

The maid outfit and daring dress in shining force gba
pog

[hexed igloo]

Boobs or ass

[visual stream]

People can be sexy but the tone should call for it tbh

[opal star]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[visual stream]

If a character is sexed up in a horror game

Why

[hexed igloo]

Nah ass is where it's at bro

[lament blaze]

There are genuine reasons for this

[opal star]

2B wants to be a bad bitch like what's the problem

[lament blaze]

if done with intention

[visual stream]

Or if the game annoyingly feeds into it with slight camera tricks and stuff

[lament blaze]

and not just awnkbait

[hexed igloo]

True and real

[drowsy steppe]

Id argue what draws a sexed up character tho

does wearing shorts = sexualized?

sleeveless jackets?

[lament blaze]

There is no lightswitch. It's artistic design

[frozen kernel]

Sherry's unlockable sailor suit in RE6? Cool, nice throwback to the old game and she's like 30 so you can call it sexy

It not being her default outfit: ✅
Stripping her down to a johnny for a whole level near the end of her story:

Tits bouncing every time you knock an enemy on their ass with the stun baton lmao

[hexed igloo]

I'd argue that's realistic, titties do be bouncin

[frozen kernel]

Shorts? No. Daisy dukes where the cheeks are literally spilling out the bottom, yeah probably

Like Lara's shorts in most of the Tomb Raider games are perfectly fine

[lament blaze]

titties do not go "bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce" after one motion

[hexed igloo]

Rare games outside of actual gooner games that do that

[drowsy steppe]

I would assume the usage of bra, or athletic bra is the purpose of stopping that

[stone fern]

HE DID WHAT

[frozen kernel]

Sure, but we don't need an entire level of it. Get it over with in a cutscene and move on

[drowsy steppe]

bouncing breast can hurt so Im told 😭

[hexed igloo]

Does not stop it at all unless you have small boobs

[stone fern]

@frozen kernel YOU DID WHAT

[frozen kernel]

Most people dont wear bras with a hospital gown ://

[stone fern]

damn

im sorry

ill leave

[drowsy steppe]

wheres this example youre taking from is it from a specific character 🤔

[frozen kernel]

That point in the story her and other character et captured and they're running experiments on the two of them. Not exactly a consensual visit to the doctor

[frozen kernel]

Yeah talking about that one part in RE6

Scroll up\

[hexed igloo]

It hurts similarily to if you grab a chunk of your stomach and yank on it

[drowsy steppe]

oh

ohh

[sterile stone]

I mean designs are based off charts and shit of consumers

[drowsy steppe]

the sherry one?

[frozen kernel]

I thought that's what you were replying to lol

Yeah

[drowsy steppe]

its been so long Ive played that

[sterile stone]

There's a very small margin of people, male or female

That don't wanna look sexy

[drowsy steppe]

I dont think it has jiggle physics

[sterile stone]

And aslong as it sells

[drowsy steppe]

I could be misremembering

[sterile stone]

As long as people can live in that fantasy they can be this ultra sexy whatever

[drowsy steppe]

yea

[sterile stone]

It will keep selling

Like I said before

No one wants to be some ugly character with baggy clothes

[frozen kernel]

I went back and played recently, it's very much a 2012 game >_<

[hexed igloo]

Esp since half of em are basement dwellers that look something akin to gollum

[limber trellis]

Did you know if you type big titty booba on google it just shows them to you? You dont need to jerk off to video game characters

[sterile stone]

This isn't fully true

[frozen kernel]

#zealot-class message oops reply bugged

[sterile stone]

Females love creating hyper sexy characters aswell.

[stone fern]

most of this discord has at least 1k hours on a video game with sub 10k active players

[hexed igloo]

I know

[stone fern]

my brother in the emperor we are the basement dwellers

[hexed igloo]

I personally have a job

[sterile stone]

I don't speak french

I dunno who this

We

Are

[drowsy steppe]

yuh women love to play dress up too

[jovial cosmos]

who says you need to be a basement dweller to like big booba

[hexed igloo]

I fuckin love playing dressup

[drowsy steppe]

not necessarily dirty basement dwelling peeps

100% I love playing dressup

[sterile stone]

I personally like the tacticool stuff

But some people like skimpy outfits

[drowsy steppe]

I have clothing mods in bg3 for a reason

[sterile stone]

And you know what

If it sells

It'll keep selling

[hexed igloo]

Every game I play, drip > stats

[sterile stone]

Because that's what the majority market wants

[frozen kernel]

Fashion is the true endgame

Everyone loves dressing up their barbie whether they admit it or not

[hexed igloo]

Endgame? Nah bro I'm doing that from the beginning

[sterile stone]

I wish darktide got some decent fashion

I want black armor with gold trimming

[drowsy steppe]

the only early 2010s game I still hold dear is Skyrim xd

[frozen kernel]

You start from the beginning but the game never ends until you're satisfied with your look

[jovial cosmos]

i mean if you never get past the beginning its still endgame

[sterile stone]

And that's how they sink you in.

[hexed igloo]

Souls games, I'm putting on the coolest shit as soon as I get it, all downsides can be overcome with skill

[drowsy steppe]

yuh Darktide isnt necessarily alien from the concept of playing dress up either

[grizzled aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/clone-clones-buzz-lightyear-toy-story-gif-21609842

[drowsy steppe]

like we have an entire channel dedicated to posting drip lmao

[frozen kernel]

Yeah so long as I can fast/medium roll in souls I'll wear the coolest shit I've got

[clever swan]

just not as many cute girls in darktide

[obsidian prairie]

I'm so happy like 90% of endgame Rogue Trader gear looks baller as fuck

[grizzled aspen]

You and everyone else, Argus.

[sterile stone]

People call it predatory when games give free cosmetics but the free cosmetics usually look like bargin bin trash vs paid cosmetics

[hexed igloo]

They should add more cute girls

[sterile stone]

I just like looking elegant

Shit if I had my way

[hexed igloo]

Someone mod in a reskin for poxwalkers to make them into anime girls

[drowsy steppe]

moebian 6th and 53rd actually looking good is so so much an exception relative to fatsharks track record with the free ones

[sterile stone]

Ehhh

They're recolors

Except the chest and head

[vagrant blade]

what if i want to see it specifically while im playing a game 🤔

[drowsy steppe]

theres minor differences

[sterile stone]

The pants are from existing unreleased/released stuff

[drowsy steppe]

like the 6th zealot pants gets full sweatpants

[hexed igloo]

I personally don't mind recolors as long as they still look decent

[jovial cosmos]

chest and head are mostly recolors too tho

[drowsy steppe]

53rd gets the kneepad and tapered shin

you know Ill just post it

[sterile stone]

There's no other mobian chest piece in the game

Same with the helmets

[hexed igloo]

It'd be better to be able to just freely change colors but meh

[sterile stone]

Those are somewhat unique

The ogryn's mobian helmet however

Is not

There's 2 unreleased camo versions of it

[jovial cosmos]

they are literally the same model as the penance outfit?

i guess it differs per class

[lament blaze]

in AAA space and frequently in AA space yes. thats one of the reasons i lean away.

It's not art in any sense of the word

[hexed igloo]

They should put in some clothes for ogryn that are just way too small

[lament blaze]

It's a revenue making machine

[grizzled aspen]

These sets would look super good if they were long sleeved and the chestpiece wasn't angled like that.

[sterile stone]

Yeah but if the gameplay is good, I don't mind spending money on a game.

I don't dig too deep into that shit.

I play video games to get away fromt he bullshit that is life.

Except when I play hunt...

[drowsy steppe]

Im 100% sure its just to differentiate between the zealot and veteran better

[jovial cosmos]

to me its mostly about money spent / time spent

[drowsy steppe]

veteran gets the slick and clean look

zealot gets the more rough version with the rolled sleeves

[grizzled aspen]

They have completely separate chestpieces, zealout just has a random fucking 45 degree angle for no reason.

[lament blaze]

Games trying to pretend that theyre about something deep when they're just scraping a cliche to come off as deep

if the gameplay is good it better let me skip all dialogue and cutscenes lmao

[drowsy steppe]

reddit has an entire argument about this couple days ago xd

[grizzled aspen]

Well reddit is dumb.

[clever swan]

it is still art brother

[sterile stone]

That too.

[lament blaze]

let me revise

not in any meaningful sense of the word

[sterile stone]

I've seen people usually run on the idea of, any addition dollar spent equates to a hour.

[drowsy steppe]

veteran

[clever swan]

you can say it's soulless art but even that isnt clear

[sterile stone]

See I had this mindset before

[clever swan]

"the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power."

[hexed igloo]

Yeah that's the way I usually do it

[sterile stone]

And then I would get to the end of a game and be like

[jovial cosmos]

only if the time was well spent

[sterile stone]

What the fuck did I even do

[jovial cosmos]

otherwise 1 to 1.5 is better

like getting 100 hours out of a 50-60 bucks game

[hexed igloo]

That should be the standard, but

[sterile stone]

I'm guilty as of right now on POE2

I bought the 2nd most expensive edition cause I liked the game alot

[jovial cosmos]

i mean poe2 is free

[sterile stone]

It's not

POE 1 is free

[drowsy steppe]

I got my money's worth on darktide and bg3 tenfold

[jovial cosmos]

yes it is?

[sterile stone]

POE 2 is $30

[jovial cosmos]

early access is $30

[hexed igloo]

I purchased tarkovs EOD edition and played it for like 3 months and then dropped it

[lament blaze]

"producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power"

the works are primarily produced to make revenue

[jovial cosmos]

you can also just wait and play it for free when it fully releases

[sterile stone]

Atleast you didn't get scammed by Nikita with the unheard

[hexed igloo]

Still got scammed paying $140 for a shitass game lmao

[dull finch]

whats the meta build for chorus zealot again

anyoen got the skill tree

[lament blaze]

Art must be monetized to allow the artist to make art

Games must come off as art to allow the company to make money

There is a difference

[jovial cosmos]

artists would disagree tbh

[drowsy steppe]

also dont need to use those 2 weapons necessarily

[hexed igloo]

Average artist doesn't do it for the money tho

[frozen kernel]

My friend always talks up PSO2 for being good about this

[dull finch]

ty

[drowsy steppe]

and you can move immo for tknives instead if you wanna

[frozen kernel]

Lots of stuff you can easily obtain for free

[jovial cosmos]

ye that was my point

[drowsy steppe]

but the mid and bottom tree should look like the one I linked

[dull finch]

do u have one that isnt a relic blade

[lament blaze]

the average artist doesn't also make the decisions that go into a AAA game

[drowsy steppe]

what weapon you wanna use

[dull finch]

just book flamer and the rapier

[lament blaze]

its a businessman with an MBA

optimizing his excel spreadsheet

[jovial cosmos]

yes but why treat art in AAA games as art overal

[lament blaze]

that was my point

[jovial cosmos]

also you can make that point about way more things than just games

[lament blaze]

that they aint, and when they try really hard to pretend, it's damn annoying

[jovial cosmos]

like buildings for example

[frozen kernel]

APB All Points Bulletin back in the day was like $70-$80, same experience lol

[jovial cosmos]

and that logic doesnt always hold up

[copper hawk]

NOOOOBZ

[frozen kernel]

Game also actually died and got revived as a F2P game for a while

[lament blaze]

can, will, do

[sterile stone]

pso2?

[frozen kernel]

Phantasy Star Online 2

Idk if he means the classic version or new genesis

[hexed igloo]

That sounds like potentially the most nothingburger of a game in history

[copper hawk]

I was today years old that trump is gonna appoint elon musk as a head of a new body called the department of government efficiency

DOGE

[lament blaze]

what does? phantasy star 2?

[copper hawk]

:<

[frozen kernel]

PSO or APB?

[hexed igloo]

Yeah, The name sounds like it

Idk I haven't played it or looked into it at all, just dismissed it as yet another anime MMO

[hearty nebula]

PSO2NGS is dog

I hate it

[lament blaze]

Oh yeah it's slop

As a professional slop enjoyer i dont discount it

[frozen kernel]

He doesn’t have nice things to say about NGS so I assume he means the classic when he mentions it

[lament blaze]

not my kind of slop tho

[hearty nebula]

Real chads played PSO2 on JP servers with the tweaked launcher

[frozen kernel]

Getting past the Japanese captcha was the true skill check

[lament blaze]

I played rage 2 so... xd

Felt like Dark Cloud

But anime

Well, more anime

[lament blaze]

DARK CLOUD

[frozen kernel]

Futuristic

[lament blaze]

WHAT A GAME

diablo for console boys

[frozen kernel]

[lament blaze]

dark cloud lowkey whooped some ass ngl

despite it being terrible

[frozen kernel]

The second game fucked so hard

[lament blaze]

i loved it

i never played 2 :o

[frozen kernel]

The first one I had no idea what I was doing

Second one clicked with me on a rental and I lost it for years because I could never find it

[lament blaze]

the first one is so old

because of RNG you can go into the dungeon and every enemy is immune to your bonk

first level

bahahaha

[frozen kernel]

One day I’m at like Walmart or GameStop and I see “Dark Cloud 2” and recognize the medallion on Max’s chest

Yoink

Watched a whole walkthrough on YouTube by some other child who set up a tripod in front of their tv

He knew all the scoops and secrets

[lament blaze]

it reminds me of booting up fallout 1 for the first time, walking east and getting a super unlucky random encounter

8 radscorpions all around me

no chance at escape

ded

not even close

[copper hawk]

Not a real thing

Word salad

[modern lintel]

earlier this morning

[frozen kernel]

Playing KOTOR before and after playing actual DND as an adult was a fun one

[frozen kernel]

As a child I just evenly split my stats and made characters so bad that my lower city experience was kiting Vulkars back to the bouncer at Javiar’s cantina

Because the bouncer had that DAWG in her

[lament blaze]

damn lmao.

I get the rage, the difficulty is a huge step up from normal missions of that difficulty

[modern lintel]

is it tho

[lament blaze]

it is

[hexed igloo]

Krill issue I beat them solo with a wet salmon

[lament blaze]

well obviously

[gleaming kelp]

What kinda horror shitpost is this

[lament blaze]

i mean i remember when i was new new and still not good enough to play damnation comfortable but heresy i reliably would die only once every few runs

i failed my first uprising attempt at the twins

[modern lintel]

my first twins attempt was on damnation before eventually some one like 4 games later did the secret bells and had to do that then

[lament blaze]

to the uninitiated the final fight is much more cruel than anythng youd see in a normal mission

or at least definitely can be

[vague depot]

i just did damnation twins because it looked like it gave me a lot of money

[stone fern]

yeah i had someone do the puzzle randomly for me too while i was doing weeklies

[vague depot]

and then eventually i got matched with 3 ogryns doing the secret mission

a grand fortune of luck

[modern lintel]

i was completely not gonna fuck w it then like you said had a random unlock it for everyone so like damn now i gota do it

[stone fern]

lmao

[copper hawk]

Poopmadnesscore

[gleaming kelp]

What is the most optimal money grind anyway besides quickplay spam?

[stone fern]

i could solo them at uprising

[modern lintel]

maels

[stone fern]

i tried to do it a few times but i kept dying while looking up what fucking bell to ring and how many times

[mighty root]

How do you know of him

[stone fern]

hell

[hexed igloo]

I soloed them on damnation with nothing but a flashlight and 2 slim jims

[lament blaze]

do maels give more goodies?

[opal star]

relic sword went unfathomably crazy this run

[stone fern]

the first and second ones where hard to find in the first place

[lament blaze]

do maels give more dia?

[opal star]

yes

[mighty root]

At least it seems like it does

[copper hawk]

I knew him when u were in pampers lil blud

[modern lintel]

i dont think you can get more mats then just reg damnation but maels can pay up to like 80k dockets i think

[hexed igloo]

Damn seeing you reminded me I forgot to send you those files lmao mb

[copper hawk]

Ive been a dark apostle of the one true messiah poopmadness

[opal star]

ah gotchya. well i do want more docket

I want the white zealot outfit

Since his like first upload

[mighty root]

Don’t even joke lad

[opal star]

oh

dia

uhhhhh
at least I think it does

[gleaming kelp]

Quickplay mael seems to best way to gather resources. Although failure still occurs every couple missions when you pug.

[opal star]

haven't been recording the rewards

[mighty root]

I was there

[opal star]

just win more than you lose

[frosty herald]

peak

[modern lintel]

iv not made like any dockets since havok dropped

[mighty root]

I’ll have you know I never wore pampers I just streaked

[gleaming kelp]

The gambler way.

[frosty herald]

actual lobotomy

[lament blaze]

yeah im weak on dia..

though i did finally complete everything I needed for my build so im technically building a dia reserve

[lament blaze]

[plush estuary]

if only

I dont need it

[hexed igloo]

You just won't get the RMA probably, and if you do you'll likely get the wrong card back lmao

[lament blaze]

i had two come DOA and they were like "oh shit sorry king i gotchu real good"

[hexed igloo]

Afaik it's just been pretty recently

Sometimes you'll get lucky but

[lament blaze]

nah asus has a history of being weird.

giving bad support for their mobos

[mighty root]

Yeah that’s true atm I have a gigabyte 4080 super I’m building a new rig for the 5090

[hexed igloo]

Get a card if you want just god don't get an Asus mobo

[lament blaze]

i dont know exactly how bad but the "asus bad support" thing has been around for longer than just recently

[mighty root]

Or I can just go with the founder edition

[lament blaze]

i like MSI for cards too

[hexed igloo]

I usually just go for ROG or MSI

[mighty root]

Msi is good

[gleaming kelp]

What even is the future of graphics cards. The 4090 is a literal brick that needs support to prevent connector breakage.

[mighty root]

I’m getting that msi godlike motherboard

[lament blaze]

i have no clue. im on linux now so my next will be AMD

amd the 7000 series was chefs kiss please continue the good work

[hexed igloo]

I got a b550 gaming+ and it's lasted me perfectly for 6ish years

[mighty root]

It’s expensive but god damm it’s soooo good

[gleaming kelp]

Getting bigger doesn't seem feasible unless we're all gonna start running fridge sized pcs as normal

[hexed igloo]

Mini atx? What's that?

[mighty root]

Those are so cool

[lament blaze]

mini ITX boys pull up

[mighty root]

With the gpu on the outside

[hexed igloo]

I have full size atx cos I like it to be a bit more spaced out

[mighty root]

The mini fridge of power

[lament blaze]

my first 2 PCs had micro atx boards just cause they were cheaper

despite having midtower case

i need my midtower.

the size feels correct

[hexed igloo]

True and real

[gleaming kelp]

I've only built a midtower, minis seemed to suffer from heating problems if not done properly, at least from all that I was reading.

[hexed igloo]

I had a small case til I bought a 6900xt toxic, and then I realized neither the card itself, nor the radiator fit into my case lmao
