Something’s gotta give in time, that’s what I tell myself. Until then, I keep hangin in.

[hexed igloo]

I'm hopin for a furniture sales place to come through for me, should nab about 65k on that one (currently make about 50k)

[zealous mesa]

plain axes are viable as well

[copper hawk]

Didn't u know everyone's hiring and it's totally not a way 2 soothe shareholders..

By not actually hirin anybody

[hard nexus]

yeah
frown

[copper hawk]

U could always enlist

[wanton fossil]

Funny enough I considered that when I was youthful— but I’m not medically suited for such a thing

[hushed knoll]

Good luck!!

[naive stirrup]

i know the feeling
going through the trouble of getting a guard card rn so i have that avenue because they're hiring unarmed guards absolutely everywhere in my city
i almost made it into TSA but they ghosted me after making me go to 3 interviews

[hushed knoll]

NoBodY wANtS tO WOrK aNyMOrE

[hexed igloo]

At this point if i open an application and they ask for some dumb shit like a video I'll just close it

Fuck applying through their own website fuck recording a 2 minute video explaining why I'm the correct choice for the job honestly fuck cover letters (they ain't that bad but still a pain in the ass)

At least here they don't have those fuckass personality quizzes (as far as I've seen at least)

[limber trellis]

you want this job? beg

[hexed igloo]

I'm not really in any real rush for a new job tho current is stable and cruisy so eh not desperate

Would like more money tho yk

[limber trellis]

fuck a cover letter, fuck a 2 minute intro video I swear to god ill kill myself

[hexed igloo]

Spit yo shit Troy ong

[naive stirrup]

if im asked for a video i send a 2 minute long "i would be happy to speak to you over the phone or in person" gif

[hexed igloo]

It's crazy cos getting a job in hospo is like comically easy compared to minimum wageslaving at a grocery store

I got my nightclub job by walking in, doing a trial shift, and then the GM went "I'll have a contract on Tuesday for you, can wait for that or just do cashie for now"

[wanton fossil]

Those “intro videos” are almost always AI-analysed anyway, to breakdown tone of voice, facial expression, and other bullshit

[hexed igloo]

Using ai to discriminate so it can't be blamed on you, huge brain move tbh

Everyone complains about ai art but honeslty it's harmless compared to the havoc it's wreaked on jobs

[wanton fossil]

The way of the future of course
Blame the machines
Not the people who make the machines

[hexed igloo]

It should be just flat illegal to filter applications with ai n shit, I want a real fucking person being paid 7.25 to flip through a stack of papers

[wanton fossil]

No argument here. I worked for a short time as an assistant at a recruiting firm and they were getting into using an AI system to sort candidate files, and I as the assistant was reviewing resumes they’d pass to clients so like… what’s the recruiter’s job then?

[past sierra]

[copper hawk]

Not 2 mention insurance companies using it 2 deny up to 33% of all first time claims that year,, with a 90% denial rate per claim due to an error in the code ,, what a scandal that was that never got any news coverage

AI is bein applied 2 shit it has no business bein applied 2

[hexed igloo]

Health Insurance is a scam

Regular home/contents insurance less of a scam

I hate capitalism I hate capitalism

[copper hawk]

I LOVE it

[minor sierra]

ai is stupid and needs to be stopped

[naive stirrup]

agreed

[hexed igloo]

That's my steam handle, fart_reverb_sfx#3

[hexed igloo]

Ai could have beneficial uses

As it is now, yeah kill it tbh, it ain't being used for anything good rn

[clever swan]

what about DLSS

[hexed igloo]

Yeah go off king I love framegen, as long as it's not a substitute for optimization

[clever swan]

yeah, that's the problem with it. even if games were perfectly optimized framegen and dlss otherwise would still be useful

[hexed igloo]

Framegen allows for better performance on lower end rigs, just makes it a bit more accessible to more people, I love that

Unless they just completely skipped optimization

[naive stirrup]

framegen also increases input latency

[frozen crystal]

Imo not noticeable

[hexed igloo]

Be real unless you're playing a comp game it doesn't matter as long as it's sub 20ms

[naive stirrup]

with the 50 series cards
it is noticeable

as most of their fps output is AI generated and not true to the game

[hexed igloo]

I have a 6900xt and it's not noticeable, idk about Nvidia tho I've never gone for them

[copper hawk]

does anyone have like some breakcore adjacent drum and bass like a playlist on spotify i can bum off of

[hexed igloo]

Solution - don't buy Nvidia until they step it up

[clever swan]

nvidia is only better

[hexed igloo]

I prefer amd for most things

[clever swan]

i mean just framegen/dlss. dlss4 vs fsr4 is probably the first time it'll be a real fight though, but the 6000 (not even the 7000 series lmao) cant do fsr4

[hexed igloo]

Partially because my rich homie from whom I get his leftover parts for cheap buys amd

[clever swan]

that's kinda the point though

[naive stirrup]

amd gpus are not to be trusted
idk about new gen amd but everything else tends to cause issues for everyone i know who owns an amd gpu
amd cpu however, banger. get those
nvidia gpus have led market for a while now, 50 series is not reliable. 40 series is decent though, i like my 4070ti

[clever swan]

AMD GPUs have always been known for their trash drivers and stuff

[frozen crystal]

Yeah. I don’t know why 5000 is mentioned. Not even out yet and the preliminary tests seem about the same latency as current. And that doesn’t include reflex 2 I’m pretty sure

[copper hawk]

guh..

[clever swan]

the thing with 3x+ framegen is that they actually just jam those frames into the same timespan as what 2x was in. it probably increases latency a bit, somehow, but it isnt as much as you'd think

[frozen crystal]

Yeah, seems to be 10ms more

[rocky nacelle]

DM

[copper hawk]

tank

[hexed igloo]

I've had amd in my rig for about 8 years now and I've have 0 issues with any of them, dunno what you're on about. Amd had like one bad batch of drivers and everyone ran with it. I had a 1060 briefly and it ran significantly worse than my rx470, and has since died, while the 470 is still running and still punching well over its weight class

[naive stirrup]

well that was the 1060
iirc it was the 1070 that was heavily future proof for no reason at all

[clever swan]

to be fair that kinda thing could easily be blamed on the brand of gpu you bought, like msi vs gigabyte. since it's unlikely you got one straight from AMD/NVIDIA

[hexed igloo]

Idr what brand it was tbh

[naive stirrup]

that too, gigabyte anything is ass
msi is alright, asus makes the best hardware
or used to idk where they are these days, gamers nexus called them out for some huge bs at one point

[visual stream]

Day 2 zealot chat slowmode.. I don't know if we can make it my gloopazoids

[hexed igloo]

I don't listen to any form of influencer/blog review thing it's overblown 98% of the time

I only listen to my friend who's been working with pcs for about 10 years now, or I just say fuck it we ball

[naive stirrup]

gamers nexus has proven to be completely trustworthy, often citing directly from where they found information. from deep dives to intense testing, they are who you want to go to for knowledge on the pc gaming world at least for parts, what companies are trustworthy and what parts are worth buying
highly recommend

That is the most corporate shill of something I've ever seen

[naive stirrup]

they aren't corporate :)
far from it actually

[ornate bone]

Gamers, I can take the slowmode, but I don't think I can take the embed fails

[hexed igloo]

Your wording

[naive stirrup]

simply stating the facts, some mf said i sound like chat gpt once

[hexed igloo]

Reads like the back of a mother can tbh

[copper hawk]

yo mama..

[naive stirrup]

in less over explainy words
they have proven to be ethical and do intense part testing, showing direct numbers on anything they can
good people

[clever swan]

tru

[plucky gate]

I'll vouch for gamersnexus too
They've shown they're willing sacrifice their relationships with huge companies to get the truth out

[ornate bone]

why did the mods 1984 us with slow mode

[rocky nacelle]

they saw your builds

[ornate bone]

check DMs for GIF

[hexed igloo]

I only trust people I've grabbed the ass of 💯

[grizzled aspen]

And just like that, another 24hrs of slowmode...

[hexed igloo]

Every time someone complains about the slow mode they add a day

[frozen kernel]

Class is in timeout because someone went to teacher and they found the piss drawer

[bleak crystal]

...euh...

[grizzled aspen]

Woke up starving to death and wound up cooking 6 of these little breakfast steaks (they were the last ones and they come in packs of 2) and a handful of eggs. Bulking never tasted so good.

[tawdry leaf]

i dont think i could ever eat that much

[frozen kernel]

First day in project zomboid be like

Woke up starving to death, stomped a man to death for his watch and a pack of cigarettes, proceeded to inhale entire jar of mayonnaise in the fridge

[red mesa]

Is dueling sword dump state cleave dmg? Or typically mobility

[hearty nebula]

REAL

[livid rampart]

This game has such little fan content

[grizzled aspen]

Mobility, but its ok to dump cleave damage if youre planning on converting to mk5, as it gets replaced with defences, which is only stamina management and dodge distance stuff.

[livid rampart]

make fanfics and fanart, encourage the chaos, make slannesh blush, but do it on da proper forums. (Ex: smutfics and such on Ao3, nsfw art on Bluesky)

[grizzled aspen]

You don't wanna dump cleave damage because you can drag your attacks on ds4 and ds2 to hit more things and thereby do more damage.

[tawdry leaf]

man i woke up feeling sick this sucks

[grizzled aspen]

@sterile basalt I played like crap lmao gg.

[sterile basalt]

nah it was the trauma psyker

I saw him blow poxburster on u & sirosky at the start

I stayed very far away from him after that

[red mesa]

ya, ive always dumped mobility but had someone saying cleave dmg is the correct dump and i was like ?? i dont think so lol

[grizzled aspen]

Actually that first burster wasnt even his fault, the game threw a trapper and burster at me at the same time and my brain wasnt awake enough to dodge and push at the same time.

[sterile basalt]

Boltgun exe stance so fun

Until I’m out of ammo

I think I had like 4 bullets left at the end of the staircase section

Was out of grenades too

[grizzled aspen]

Yeah if you look at scoreboard it says I wasted a bunch of ammo but that's because I flicked to grab a stimm at the very start and grabbed an ammo stash instead after throwing one knife.

[sterile basalt]

I don’t have mine set to taken/wasted, it just shows 3/1/1 for u which is not bad at all

[grizzled aspen]

I should prob set mine to record that way too.

[sterile basalt]

For some reason that game was super stuttery

[reef flower]

Morning

Seems like theres still a cooldown

[atomic geode]

opinions on relic blade

[frosty herald]

My bad og

[frosty herald]

Most fun and best balanced weapon in the game

[atomic geode]

hell yeah

[hard nexus]

it’s extremely strong, on the level of DS4 imo

mk2 supremacy

[red mesa]

fucking dope, but hard.
have a really hard time clutching with it, and I take more dmg using it than any other zealot melee i use reguarly, way more than Thammer or evis.

its dodges are rough. Great weapon tho when the teams alive, but hard to clutch/solo with (i play only auric maelstrom or high havoc for reference)

[sterile basalt]

Super strong, scales really well into density
But not in a cheesy way of being strong

[plush estuary]

Big sword

[atomic geode]

i usually use the heavy evis

[hard nexus]

i loooove mk3 evis

[atomic geode]

but i've been using relic blade for now

[frosty herald]

I kmew you would use the better mark pookie

[vague depot]

still not sure on which mark is the better one for me ngl

huge fan of mk2 uppercut heavies but mk10 has a push attack stab which is pretty fun and apparently mk10 can build for crit or something idk

[red mesa]

ya it does scale well.
but you also can get overwhelmed easily by density and it cannot kite for shit. Some situations you wont be able to fight out of offensivly with it, and wont have the mobility of some other weapons to reposition. one of the reasons i use a bolt pistol often with it, for the mobility help, you can actually outrun the horde/kite with a max mobility bolt pistol, i have one with stagger dump and max mobility just for my relic blade lol

[plush estuary]

Large weapon

[red mesa]

on the level of DS is a bit aggressive. Offensively maybe close-ish. But its safty is a lot lower and solo/clutch potential when the team is dead

i go back and forth between the models, is MK2 the one with horizontal lights?
that one feels nice to use, but leaves something to be desired for how it "feels".

I find the other one to feel better to play, but require more effort on the combos. The underhand, overhead heavys are so dope

[frosty herald]

Yeah its a very slow and sluggish weapon but hits like a truck

If you know how to use the thammer and evis relic blade is fine to use

[hard nexus]

it only lacks mobility, but it has extremely strong single target, amazing horde clear, and great bossing

the only reason i dont hate it as much as ds4 is because its actually enjoyable to use

[heady rapids]

executioner sword.........

[red mesa]

i personally have to run it with chastise, i feel too vulnerable to getting overwhelmed or being unable to clutch with book + relic blade

slow mode, wtf?

[outer rampart]

New here?

[heady rapids]

yeah someone said a slur

[vague depot]

exe sword h1 bc was clean af i fw that weapon heavy

[hard nexus]

yeah mods got mad at zealot chat

[frosty herald]

Dont mention it or its extended by another day

[red mesa]

im a big thunderhammer guy, and i find it even less 'safe' for some reason. I swear its dodges after 2 are non existant/worse than Thammer
i could be wrong tho and its just a bias

[outer rampart]

No seriously jokes aside what IS the reason for THIRTY WHOLE SECONDS?!

[heady rapids]

slur posting

[outer rampart]

O K?

Just ban the one guy and move on

Tf we all have to get punished for?!

Mods actually got one guyed

[frosty herald]

It is i believe the slowest weapon regarding movement speed and dodges

[plush estuary]

"consistent pattern of inappropriate content and misbehaviour"

[heady rapids]

and zealot chat being zealot chat for the past two years (slur meme was the straw that broke the camel's back)

[vague depot]

how good is 15 gb of ram

[heady rapids]

not enough in 2025

[red mesa]

i honestly just run it with crit a lot. But i think Momemtum does help it feel less sluggish.

Why would the mk10 be better with crit than the other? MK 2 feels a lot better to use to me, but MK10 with the poke on demand and easy light spam sometimes feels easier to use

[royal vortex]

i, personally, believe the chat isn't slowed enough

[vast basin]

Idk what you mean. Zealot chat is the most sane and well put together of all the class chats

[vague depot]

shit idk i only follow directions i dont question them

[spare talon]

it was basically the final straw with lots of build up prior
the slowmode is due to the build up, not the straw

[outer rampart]

This feels like a lot of problems that could have been solved with individual punishments

Instead of just killing all new player traffic here

[heady rapids]

I didn't like the mk2 how does it poke on demand

[frosty herald]

What about a hat

[red mesa]

ya im not understanding this either, who slur posted, why is it a global slowdown? lol whatevs i guess is what it is

[outer rampart]

DAMN

Tf y’all do?

[plush estuary]

alot

[spare talon]

strawhat doesnt need to be cursed with looking at this place

[outer rampart]

Please ELABORATE

I’m insanely interested rn

[heady rapids]

moderating zealot chat should be a paid activity

[sterile basalt]

Move speed wise it’s the slowest for zealot

Dodges are not as bad as thunder hammer & crusher

[tawdry leaf]

youll be in retirement in a week

[frosty herald]

We geeked too hard

[outer rampart]

Do explain in as much detail as you can

Without breaking rules

[red mesa]

[heady rapids]

wait until you learn about the purging of ogryn chat....

[frosty herald]

This is day 3

[outer rampart]

It got purged?

I’ve been in there for a while

Oh wait yeah some of the old people are gone

[red mesa]

i dont hang out here as much as i use to, didnt realize lol rip.
kinda makes no sense, ngl

[heady rapids]

Wasn't there myself but I've heard that people got banned for using slurs and standing on it lol

[frosty herald]

We always have psyker chat🤫

[outer rampart]

Ok what “slurs” are we talking about

Again WITHIN the rules please

Like slurs are, a WIDE list

[tawdry leaf]

As a zealot I have a natural repulsion to freak chat

[heady rapids]

if I need to send a hasbulla gif I usually do it in another chat and ping everyone participating in the conversation

[tawdry leaf]

zealot chats activity is ironic given zealots are priests

[outer rampart]

Ok but Zealots ARE also racist

[heady rapids]

#zealot-class message

[tawdry leaf]

also ironic

Diablo 4 is well, Diablo 4

POE 2 hit the second melee builds

Last Epoch has snail level development

[red mesa]

i thought poe 2 was fantastic ngl, def had its issues being EA but favorite argp ive played in awhile, my built kinda maxed out in the mid 90s and i was blasting max maps and just kinda got tired of the grind but the currency/loot chase bc of the economy was fun

i havent tried grim dawn, but could def check it out

[plush estuary]

still awake for VT?

[spare talon]

[outer rampart]

Tried to play marauder

Unlucky 💀

Maradur players?

A second on death effect has hit the patch notes.

[red mesa]

ah i was monk loved it, favorite melee build ive done in an arpg in years and i played mostly melee in D4 and last epoch.
last epoch was fun, but endgame was so boring

i liked poe 2's endgame for what it was worth, even in EA. Chasing citadels and getting 3x fragments making 3+ div each time and chasing loot/gear was fun

[orchid cipher]

wtf is this brainrot BS lmao

[plush estuary]

you wouldnt get it

[outer rampart]

Last Epoch is too small to succeed, they take WAY too long to make updates

Grim Dawn is where it’s at imo

[red mesa]

does it have a good endgame? any economy?

[orchid cipher]

I hope I never understand it tbh. This is some chronic brainrot

[outer rampart]

Lots of endgame

They are adding maps soon

Economy is super fun and very generous

[copper hawk]

Gnarps

[outer rampart]

AND

It’s offline single player at base

With TONS of mods

There are like 30-40 fully fleshed out high quality mod classes

And it’s titan quest

You combine TWO classes

[red mesa]

lmao is this a real copypasta form someone here? surely its in jest/a joke

[plush estuary]

its real

[grizzled aspen]

No that sounds like Dorn. Absolute elitist on everything, moves goalposts of what he considers skilled every 5s, etc.

[red mesa]

its back from october i just realized, and that comment is the only one that comes up

[plush estuary]

thats not dorn saying that, he copied it from DotNL from the forums

[red mesa]

wait thats a real message from him pulling levels like that and saying speedrunning is the best way to play? its too on the nose, seems self aware/a joke

if its not thats, lmao. wow

[grizzled aspen]

I can still see Dorn saying that himself, tbh.

[plush estuary]

same, but he wouldnt

[heady rapids]

he's not the only one who plays like that but he might be the most obnoxious about it

[outer rampart]

Speaking of Darktide lolcows

I’ve been watching a few videos from a guy called “Tanner”

Who tf is he and what is his apparent drama?

[heady rapids]

he got shunned out of at least two communities before coming to darktide
all you need to know...

[red mesa]

google pulls up his profile on steam etc. What forums tho, games lantern?

[heady rapids]

Probably fatshark forums

[red mesa]

actually does games lantern even have forums lol

didnt realize there were fatshark forums oh derp i just do darktide stuff here lmao

[spare talon]

he is someone who has a history of walking into game communities and being insufferable
"i am better at the game than you therefore what i say is correct and you are wrong and stupid for not agreeing with me unconditionally"
he has been banned from most outlets related to darktide (and other games he's engaged with) like this discord and the reddit due to his behavior recently, and has been throwing a temper tantrum about it all and calling everyone that could possibly be related to it an awful horrible person that approves of harassment and so he tells his community to harrass and attack them (like the current CM strawhat and multiple mods and playtesters)

[drowsy steppe]

I fucking hate how loud this is I have this fucking app on max volume

[tawdry leaf]

twitter ahh behavior

[red mesa]

oh no tanner has been brought up

Also vrchat ERP😂

[spare talon]

OH TRUE
but lets not bring that up given the state of zealot chat rn

This seems to line up from what I looked up

Ego elitist

And some rumors about some “proclivities” towards adult content

Oh and racism

[tawdry leaf]

plays vrchat and is racist?

if we bring up what tanner does the slow mode is gonna get extended again......

[grizzled aspen]

Also some not so nice stuff happened and we both got banned from dorncord. 🤷

[tawdry leaf]

wtf is dorncord

[lapis cave]

returning player after a decent absence. Noticing bolt gun is recommended with relic blade and knives.

How is bolt gun intended to be used here? Crusher packs?

I've been using a revolver since forever, but I'm guessing they're used significantly differently? i.e. knives replace revolver and bolt gun shores up some weakness of the relic blade at higher difficulties?

[grizzled aspen]

TLDR he had the wrong account linked to his twitch, which is an honest mistake, considering it was literally 1 character off from being correct, and some allegations were thrown around, which wound up getting him banned from there.
I investigated for about 5min, figured out what happened, debunked said allegations, and Dorn banned me anyway.
It's whatever, idgaf. Allegations were cleared.

[mighty root]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/161 @plush estuary this it?

[drowsy steppe]

my best guess its either killfeed improvement, scoreboard, or ovenproof's scoreboard plugin

[mighty root]

Might be I just want something to post to in chat that I dropped something or pinged a dh

[plush estuary]

maybe? I dont know

[grizzled aspen]

Boltgun can have its draw anim canceled by throwing a knife. Rb is good against literally everything, especially when it comes to lawnmower-ing hordes.

As for boltgun's intended usage, if you're running it with relic blade, it is for ogryn racism.

[lapis cave]

I'm sure I'll find out in live shortly, but can you shoot bulwarks in the feets with it? Or does their shield block the shots in actual combat?

[grizzled aspen]

Personally, I wouldn't recommend boltgun with it, though. You kill ogryns just fine with it. It's better to run something like an autogun or a recon as your backup weapon for shooter trash.

[lapis cave]

I'm by far most comfortable with revolver tbh. Mostly for picking off disablers. I guess I need to become a better shot with knives for that.

[grizzled aspen]

No, you can't shoot a bulwark in the feet. Yes, the shield blocks bullets. You can stagger them by shooting their shield if you have the ammo to spare. I believe it's 5 bullets to stagger. You could also just dodge their attack and unload your mag into their back/head to kill them quickly.

[grizzled aspen]

Knives will 1tap headshot all specialists except mutants. You have 12 of them, so you can afford to miss every now and then. Just work on it and you'll never need to worry so much about ammo to drop specialists.

[lapis cave]

what's the meta auto? Agripinaa or whatever columnus turned into?

[grizzled aspen]

I use agri just because I can't aim further than 10ft with vraks (old columnus). You may find better usage out of a brauto or recon, though.

[lapis cave]

Any idea why the bolt gun was recommended in the pinned guides specifically? Just wondering if there's some niche for the weapon I'm missing

aside from dealing with reapers/crushers, and maybe boss damage? Seems the relic does okay vs monsters and ogryn, as you said

[grizzled aspen]

Because Lumii is a silly boy and is a boltgun stan, that's why.

[lapis cave]

lul fair enough

[grizzled aspen]

Jokes aside he is just very impatient and wants ogryns dead yesterday, which is based.

[lapis cave]

I'll give all the options a shot, see what I vibe with. Thanks for taking the time to answer, Frg

[orchid cipher]

you can use dance of death and cavalcade + pinning fire or w/e its called on the boltgun to deal with ogryns

[true kindle]

Boltgun is just really strong right now. High dmg into elites and bosses, does Bleed dmg with Puncture to kill Pushardened enemies with in Havoc, good ammo efficiency

[orchid cipher]

thats usually what I see it used for. But its really up to you. I dont like it on zealot that much

just go braced auto and stagger rager swarms

[lapis cave]

alas, I despise braced autos. I could do recon or infantry auto though

[vernal terrace]

i took the bolt out of it

[potent gate]

I still prefer Zarona anyway. I find specials to be a lot more dangerous than Ogryn's

[orchid cipher]

Infantry auto Id go vraks or the middle of the road rof one. Recon las the mkVIC

[grizzled aspen]

On this, cavalcade sees a significant usecase with piety, as you can reach 100% crit chance about 3-4 bullets into your mag if youre mag dumping. Pinning fire is really good because it will grant stacks even if you oneshot something. I would still recommend puncture + shattering for general usage of boltgun for zealout, though.

[orchid cipher]

Yeah I use it on my meta zealot build but I prefer martyrdom and dont use it on any other build

[gray compass]

Shattering really only works on cara though right?

[grizzled aspen]

No.

[gray compass]

Or, well, needed mostly for cara bps

[grizzled aspen]

Bleed has ADMS for every armor type, the same thing as a normal weapon. Carapace has the lowest ADM, but shattering will still allow bleed to deal more with maniac and flak armors.

[gray compass]

Assuming i'm only gonna use the boltgun for monstrosities, would cavalcade work better?

[grizzled aspen]

If you're only drawing it for monsters, yeah, I'd say cavalcade is better.

[gray compass]

Gotcha gotcha, i usually just melee/knife everything else anyway

[copper hawk]

:<

[orchid cipher]

Crusher amd relic blade my beloved

[copper hawk]

no more ROTTING i must GAME

[sterile basalt]

it helps vs 4 armor types but on boltgun specifically it only really matters for carapace

[gray compass]

Yeah that's what i figured lol

[sterile basalt]

Puncture is almost mandatory

Cavalcade is the other blessing I'd recommend if u want smth a bit more versatile than shattering impact

(this is just for zealot, veteran's boltgun uses slightly different blessing combinations)

I treat my Chorus as a giant response to the game’s fuck you situations

No game fuck YOU and your 14 crusher mixed horde

Suck it

But MAN I’m I already tired of havoc

Particularly the shooter modifier

Same builds every run

And I don’t blame people for running them

Shooters are a goddamn DEATH SENTENCE

[hearty nebula]

you can just not play havoc

[outer rampart]

Yeeeeeeah I’m very aware

I’m just trying to finish like ONE 40

That’s it

I don’t really feel a reason to play it besides that

It’s not like super unfun it’s just

Idk it feels like less fun high difficulty Darktide

[heady rapids]

(it is)

the only thing worse than havoc is dsod in pd2

the best part about havoc is that you dont have to play it........

[copper hawk]

Yo mama

[spare talon]

When you consider it to be what it is, a different mode that you play differently
It starts being fun

If you try to play it like the normal game you'll hate yourself
If you try to play it like havoc, adapting and playing it on its own terms, you may have more fun

[copper hawk]

Gaslighting urself 2 enjoy somethin is cwaaaazy..

How tf do you use shovel on vet it feels so clunky for me

Hits like a wet towel too but idk if that’s just a shovel thing or because I was bringing a power 130 shovel into heresy as a level 14 vet

Depending on your build

You are way too low level to get strong vet builds.

blaze away and quickflame have always been my favorites

And by the time you need to reload, stuff will already be dead

[visual blade]

eh, not always. sometimes the hordes are so big that i need to fire more because i seriously can't rely on psykers to do work

[umbral kindle]

What did they do

[placid fiber]

The general behavior here with "freakposting" as it was put... and then the last straw of someone posting an image with a slur in it and defending said image

[umbral kindle]

Yeah that seems about right

[visual blade]

if only zealot chat talked about zealot things and not literally anything but zealot. it feels wrong talking about the actual zealot class in here due to people never talking about zealot

[placid fiber]

Rather than banning a lot of the misbehaving people they temporarily put it to slow mode and no embeds

[lean lark]

quickflame is fine, as long as you have blaze away you can have anything for your 2nd blessing on it. I like to run pen flames blaze away with carapace elites perks so ihave every enemy type covered in case of mixed hordes

[visual blade]

i like to focus on anything that isn't carapace, because there's just no point imo. flamer is really good against bosses if you run unyielding i find

Blaze away and over pressure are my favorites

I wish showstopper was usable because man I LOVE the concept of it

If only the elites didn't die AFTER all the horde enemies died lol

[atomic fjord]

Exactly because I love the concept of it so much but it just in practice is stinky, wish it was instead enemies that die to crits from the flamer have a 10% chance to explode

I mean Black Ops 2 was the last decent CoD, Bo3 had good zombies tho

I really enjoyed CoD:WW2 but I knew full well it was deep into the slop era

I seriously can only argue the reason to even get it anymore is the Tri-Cycle zombies game mode and that’s literally about it.

Probably not used to the firing pattern, I used to say the Huot was shit and now it’s like my 3rd most used MG lmao

[tidal berry]

The one big difference I noticed is, I haven't encountered any cheaters, maybe the new anti-cheat is working

[silver stag]

I miss that now that you mention it

[fleet zealot]

If game is a failure, lay off staff
If game is a success, lay off staff anyways cause it looks better for the short term profits

[sullen forge]

I’m not even a MH fan and I’m hoping it happens cause I’m just tired of GTA

[tidal berry]

The gang had mixed opinions on delta force so we just reinstalled BF4 and BF1, honestly these games aged pretty well aside from a few bad elements that are manageable with more friends

[opal star]

line must go up
line must go up
line must go up
shareholders MUST be appeased

[silver stag]

Lets fuckin goooooooo, mhwilds baby

[sullen forge]

Honestly, BFV was hated for obvious reasons but with age it’s kinda like wine, it’s actually pretty fucking fun playing also

But those two were the last good BFs in the series hands down

[solar gorge]

GTA6 could be the worst game ever released it'll still be GOTY

[tidal berry]

I don't know BFV was my least played one but I think it got some heavy criticisms for gameplay changes besides the chud meltdown over trailer

[silver stag]

It hurts but we know it to be true, so many people are gonna buy that fuckin game

[opal star]

well there's always indies

[solar gorge]

I mean, it can also be genuinely good

[stone fern]

kids these days just go by hype they've never experienced kino or have the attention span for it 🚬

[tidal berry]

I'll not give a concrete opinion on BFV haven't played it in a long while however I'll agree with BF1 being the last decent game

[silver stag]

I mean, its possible, but its probably gonna have a alright story and then be shark cards and multiplayer like 5

[solar gorge]

anyway good or not, it's a console exclusive so i'm it's number 1 hater

[fleet zealot]

SHARK CARDS

[tidal berry]

That was the last game made by actual DICE as in, the people that made battlefield games, mass exodus started after that

[opal star]

shahck cads

[stone fern]

imagine getting a fortnite player to play gta SA or mass effect 1 or some of the older spider man games

[hushed knoll]

Hi lambda ily

[spring storm]

mass effect 1 was goated

[pale spindle]

Mass Effect is a Visual Novel

Change my mind 🧍🏻

[silver stag]

Remember when they fucked over red dead 2 cause gta5 is their money maker?

[stone fern]

[silver stag]

But goddamn if it aint cool

[pale spindle]

TRUUUUU

[spring storm]

only needed jack 🙏😌

[clever terrace]

with the whole "instant gratification" thing noawdays, the SA train-bike mission would absolutely ruin a lot of people

[stone fern]

WRONG liara then miranda then lira

[opal star]

all we had to do, was follow the damn train, cj ⁉️‼️🔥🗣️🔥🔥

[spring storm]

too basic 💅

[stone fern]

i cheesed the train mission 💪

[clever terrace]

double wrong, Tali for life, then Garus

[opal star]

romancing every woman in mass effect because I like women

[stone fern]

miranda was literally BUILT for you. Liara is nice however

[silver stag]

Isnt Miranda that xenophobe cerberus chick?

[spring storm]

romancing garrus

[opal star]

and garrus

[solar gorge]

[stone fern]

Yes. who was made from genetics of some old dude who wanted daughters for some reason

[clever terrace]

based

[fleet zealot]

no, ashley is the xenophobe

[silver stag]

Tali best and only girl, all others inferior

[stone fern]

some dude took his own dna slapped massive "assets" on it and said fuck yeah

[fleet zealot]

plus everyone saves kaiden in 1, idk why they made ashley the default survivor for future titles

[spring storm]

shep picking up tali on her pilgrimage literally groomed

[silver stag]

[stone fern]

tried it both ways tbh i hate them both

[silver stag]

Lol the future be weird

[fleet zealot]

Why would you hate kaiden lmao, dislike is one thing, and the bug were femshep is always tagged as initiating romance start with him

[stone fern]

liara is also like 19 in assari years lmao

[clever terrace]

i still haven't played 1 or 3. i bought the deluxe boxset though, so one day i'll playthrough them all

[misty ravine]

I always found GTAs boring most of the time, but then I guess I'm just not much into driving. Played through 3, VC, SA, started but didn't get far into 4 or 5.

wow the map is even bigger
so that you can spend even more time driving from A to B
wow you can drive a forklift! Isn't that zany?!
haha you can drive a crane for 10 minutes like one of those lazy union dock workers
holy shit rofl you can drive a submarine while nothing fucking happens

[stone fern]

i hate kaiden but mass effect psykers are rare so hes importat in mass effect 3.
i hated him because hes so winey

[true kindle]

I did a default male Shepard run, standard appearance Soldier class equal division between Paragon and Renegade actions, and romancing Liara the whole way through (ME1, no romance in ME2, then Liara again in ME3) and it was cute and felt right. If there was ever a canon Shepard, its that run.

[sullen forge]

I still think it’s fucking crazy they managed to make WW1 era weaponry unique to use and all have different playstyles outside of the rare meta weapons

[clever terrace]

most of my GTA playtime comes from doing GTA:SA RP stuff for quite a while.

[stone fern]

bro is loyal 🫡

[clever terrace]

I love how Tali was added in ME2 basically under threats of "tail romance or riot"

[spring storm]

you can hook up with her in the dlc for 2

[true kindle]

Same type of dude to simp for Shart and romance her the whole way and save her from Shar and save her parents and settle down with her and have cute half-elf babies. I love me some cutie patootie girls

[stone fern]

🚬 then bioware FUCKING stole art for what she looked like behind the mask

[spring storm]

why the fuck zealot chat have this slowmode stuff i wanna be off topic

[delicate shadow]

idk I think Shep is my least favourite dragon age protag

[pale spindle]

OK guys

Indoctrination Theory

[stone fern]

off topic is fine but weirdness isnt

Speaking of BG3 they added modding to GFN for that game, I'm so fucking stoked

nooooow darktide???

[silver stag]

Zealots got a little too crazy again

[true kindle]

I'm hyped for Oath of Conquest Paladin. Time to be a gigantic asshole with Smite

[sullen forge]

I’m surprised they didn’t add an Chauchat Experimental variant as a part of the final update (the 1917 Variant which the Americans literally fixed everything wrong with it, closed its mag and chambered it in .303)

[stone fern]

the wound hasnt healed yet pls dont

[true kindle]

"aren't you supposed to be good??"

"I'm supposed to win." BONK

[tidal berry]

I'm not sad, I'm happy BF1 saw as much support as it did. Could have been like BFV

[opal star]

oh right they nerfed smite in the newest DnD edition

[misty ravine]

When you literally make Might = Right

[true kindle]

Ikr?

[delicate shadow]

I just accept I will inevitably end up as an oathbreaker now

[zealous mesa]

The last update completely ruined balance in bfv

[pale spindle]

Reapers: "we are the pincacle of generational evolution and have harvested the galaxy thousands of times"

Shep: pushes a button

Reapers: https://media1.tenor.com/m/JQZPRf0YTicAAAAd/emoji-in-distress-emoji-sad.gif

[stone fern]

STOP

[orchid cipher]

Wish we got watcher paladins in bg3

[misty ravine]

Baseline 3.5e smite fucking sucked, you had to dumpster dive through a litany of splatbooks to take the 3.5 paladin from garbage to almost-mid

[pale spindle]

No wait we get a choice between a

Green
Blue
Red

Button 😎

[zealous mesa]

They dropped an SMG that has the same fire rate and better stats than the mg42, made it so you can revive someone infinitely if they're down, made it so fire doesn't make you bleed out faster, etc.

[opal star]

what’s a splatbook

[orchid cipher]

Pf1e best

[pale spindle]

Ngl, having none of your choices mattering and the Reapers winning no matter what would have been a poetic way to end the game

[sullen forge]

Oh absolutely there was a few downs mainly with overpowered weapons but every content update was usually massive fucking hype

That and PTB you could test for them for free and play the DLC early like come on bro screams community friendly and I loved that era of Battlefield

[pale spindle]

At least it's better than

RedGreenBlue

[fleet zealot]

wish we got the werewolf bard smh

[true kindle]

You should do an Oath of the Ancients fully committed playthrough at least once. It's extremely based to go "No, I don't think I will. I am literally the Light of this World." in every tempting or morally ambiguous scenario and do the Right Thing with extreme violence. Hag hair? No. Kill her. Revive the dead husband? No, zombies are wrong. Cleanse the Shadowlands? Of course, I am the light. Earn the Blood of Lathander the proper way? Of COURSE. I AM the Light. Etc.

[spring storm]

time capsule ending

[pale spindle]

I think what happened is Bioware made the Reapers too OP and they honest to God had no idea hwo to beat them 💀

[opal star]

with the power of galactic friendship

[fleet zealot]

hot take but I think the revised endings are at least "better"

[tidal berry]

cough cough smg08

[opal star]

red blue green?

[spring storm]

bioware is just sorta incompetent

[pale spindle]

I think the best ending would have been Shepard's consciousness becoming the new reaper in the cycle

And thus all of his memories of the 3 games are represented in his new body

[spring storm]

damn forgot about the human reaper from 2 🥹

[fleet zealot]

It's still that + Refuse ending, but now you get to see the actual effects, get actual explanations, and the same ending can vary depending on choices and your galatic power of friendship meter

significantly enough that I can't hate the endings

[orchid cipher]

I wanted Aberrant mind sorcerer in bg3, woulda been perfect

[pale spindle]

Ngl becoming an immortal god sounds badass

[orchid cipher]

Surely Me4 follows the destruction ending? But I got no faith in BW anyway

[pale spindle]

Yes it does

[fleet zealot]

honestly idk + companies in this current environment simply can't sustain X amount of splitting decisions and paths

[spring storm]

big ass time skip with humanity surviving and finding the new sovereign but its shep from the last cycle

[pale spindle]

Nah, everyone is dead my dude

[orchid cipher]

I mean they botched Veilguard. I got no hope for ME4. I dont want it to fail but lol

[delicate shadow]

I tried and broke my oath on the tutorial beach

[fleet zealot]

plus I'm a Synthesis + maxing out my galactic friendship meter supporter

[hushed knoll]

How did you break it on the beach lmao. The two tieflings by Laezel?

[delicate shadow]

YES

[spring storm]

the leviathans and some prometheans survived 🤷‍♂️

If you can’t keep an oath to uphold courtly values and defend the weak and smite the wicked how can you ever hope to be a discord mod

[pale spindle]

The leviathans are the Reapers

[fleet zealot]

All games are going to be botched at this rate, I understand not keeping the continuation after a trilogy but jfc they can't sustain constantly reworking their games

[hushed knoll]

I played the crap out of this

Subnautica > Mass Effect

Didnt Tali just look like a human with pale skin and glowin eyes or somethin? That was so lame

[stone fern]

tbh the me3 multiplayer was not bad if they just made it not effect the single player

[silver stag]

I have Thalassophobia so no thanks

[final mural]

subnautica is so fun

[pale spindle]

Subnautica is fun

The fanbase..... 💀

[final mural]

I've never really interacted with the subnautica fanbase in the slightest lmao, I just liked the first game the most really

[fleet zealot]

that's like saying diablo 2> checkers

[stone fern]

ZOMG high shock troop brutes anyone wanna play?

[pale spindle]

Yeah.... And? 🤔

[silver stag]

The fanbase for subnautica is terrible? How, isnt it just a little survival crafting singleplayer game? How you become a dick over that?

[fleet zealot]

sure it's true but that's a weird comparison

[north sedge]

checkers way better than diablo

[pale spindle]

Don't ask about their opinion on the second game 💀

[fleet zealot]

monster fuckers anonymous i'm guessing, oh and chuds raging about subnautica 2 for having PoC

[final mural]

I mean the second wasn't as good but I still had a bunch of fun with it

oh ffs is it actually just because of that? lmao

[clever swan]

[pale spindle]

Below Zero had a Black Woman as the Protag

So just put 2 and 2 together

Her sister was also gay

[final mural]

its honestly impressive they can even make themselves care so passionately over that, they need to get off the internet lmfao

New subnautica coming out feels promising though, actually hyped to see if it'll be good, that first game really gave me a specific hit in a game that I loved

[true kindle]

I don't know what chuds think they're getting out of the beliefs they hold and the outrages they feel. It won't make them any happier.

[clever swan]

they think what they believe is true, p obvious

subnautica 2 and a vocal minority freaking out about le woman of color protag

[opal star]

yeah but whining about it on twitter with the blue check mark makes money so

[sullen forge]

I think it’s cause people like having any reason to hate something, like if it validates their hatred they’re going to watch it

[spring storm]

subnautica should be about an ogryn

[north sedge]

i miss when games were nonpolitical, like bioshock and call of duty

[silver stag]

Goin on a seafood diet

[final mural]

I feel like its not even about money for alot of them, they just hate the idea of being a character in a game that isn't their race and gender because theyre braindead

[opal star]

apolitical call of duty

[true kindle]

Hate is a poisonous emotion. Hating things makes you feel worse. It erodes your mental health. People really do be missing the forest for the trees with this indulgence of their base instincts

[north sedge]

social media helps stoke those flames also

[opal star]

help is a bit of an understatement

[sullen forge]

Just be on the whimsical pack where you just enjoy the smallest things

[true kindle]

And that's the GOSPEL truth

[pale spindle]

Bruh the first game had this chud as the Protag 💀

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Ryley_Robinson

LOOK AT THIS DOOOOD

[final mural]

Even with the games that go really overkill with the diversity to the point where noone enjoys it other than the publishers, why does this destroy you on a personal level, just step away lmao

[dry hinge]

It’s ok to have some negative feelings as well as long as you know how to manage them. Toxic positivity is a thing.

[hushed knoll]

Omg hi Doughthony

[hard nexus]

but hating is fun….

[final mural]

ohgod yeah didnt they have those fucky proportions on the model too

[true kindle]

Toxic positivity is similarly obsessive. Whimsy is the superior mental state

[silver stag]

That certainly aint a white guy lol

[delicate shadow]

I miss when games were apolitical, like metal gear solid, grand theft auto and spec ops: the line

[dry hinge]

Like I generally get disappointed in our society quite often. But is my world ending or over? No, I just move on and focus on my life and enjoy it

[pale spindle]

the only thing I heard about veilguard was the dialogue being too sanitized or something like that

also I LOVE the iron sultanate

[true kindle]

The whimsical man is free. He does not care too strongly about any one thing, because he lets his mind and soul drift and wander and traipse and shuffle and sprint and gently slumber through the world. A bumblebee, a child's laugh, a ray of sunshine, the shimmering depths, the winking stars. A sweet and personal letter, a rich cup of coffee, holding hands in a crowd, the silence of early morning. Birdsong, rainfall, rustling leaves. A smile, a tear. A videogame you love. A book that makes you cry. All of this and more is what fills the whimsical man's heart and mind. He does not obsess over the actions of others, his own status, the plight of this world, or the hedonism of excess. A whimsical man savours and samples, but with restraint. The whimsical man does not harbour ambitions for superiority; he seeks peace and happiness, a state of ataraxia: the absence of fear, pain and stress.

[pale spindle]

Are they admitting that trans people are attractive? 🤔

[true kindle]

The whimsical man does not lash out in anger when he is ridiculed or insulted; he pities the offender for harbouring spite and hatred, and then walks away. The whimsical man does not seek to enforce his will or his way on the world, to dominate or subjugate; he lives and let live, and only raises his hand to strike down intolerance and bigotry where it threatens to disturb the peace and good order. The whimsical man does not mire himself down in vitriol, he does not linger in disappointment or anger. He allows the feeling to pass through him, and expresses them as needed, but always with respect, and then he lets them go. There is music and dancing and laughter and food to enjoy. There is no time to stay angry.

[rustic bobcat]

yeah i like helldivers but i steer clear of the subreddit/discord unless it's gameplay related. i stick to playing with friends

[true kindle]

I've heard the same thing about Star Wars (but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a revisionist interpretation and George Lucas just wanted to tell a cool space story)

[pale spindle]

No, that's star wars

SST is from an author of a Fascist who wanted to nuke Korea

The director thought that was cringe, so he turned the book into a satirical movie

[misty ravine]

Only if he was critiquing French colonialism (it was published in 1959)

[true kindle]

Paul Verhoeven, so based

[opal star]

wat

[pale spindle]

So SST was originally serious hyper Nationalism cringe power fantasy, which then became satire on how cringe that was
