That honey bun is the reason this whole quadrant went up

You gotta go bro

I'm sorry

#

That shit really has me thinking tho

long oasis
#

perhaps the small pink dog really has power..

sterile stone
#

Like a really good cook in like a post apoc setting probably worth gold

long oasis
#

lemme pull it up I wrote it down a while back

mystic ether

I can't read it (yet)

long oasis
mystic ether
#

This mandarin script?

long oasis
#

yea

#

u learning?

mystic ether
#

I'd like to at some point. That and Cantonese.

long oasis
#

there are definitely a lot more resources for mandarin

mystic ether
#

Yeah...

long oasis
#

I would avoid duolingo and things like that

mystic ether
#

😭

mighty root
#

I know mandarin phrases

mystic ether
#

Duolingo at best is just mobile app flashcards

long oasis
#

its good for learning a few characters ig

mystic ether
#

A marginal supplement for some languages but nothing I'd say that's stellar.

long oasis
#

but what ive heard is best is just to try and immerse yourself after u have a good base

#

books and tv and such

long oasis
#

ill teach u one in return

mystic ether
#

Like I used it to just refresh on Japanese scripts when I studied it but I never saw it as a catch-all resource.

#

Gotta actually speak it and condition your brain to learn it over time.

#

Practice the writing etc.

#

Find access to some reliable books etx.

long oasis
#

the funny thing is

#

for mandarin you can skip learning how to actually write nowadays

mystic ether
#

How so?

long oasis
#

typing is just sounding out the words

#

via pinyin

mystic ether
#

Ahh

#

Mhm.

虽然我可能大部分这写字都不懂怎么写,但我都可以在电脑写出来

Mandarin looks cool written tbh

笔法 is not important anymore unless you live there and have to sign legal documents or something

long oasis

#

Except for the funny guy

long oasis
#

you hate squiggly and curved writing?

deft badge
#

I like how, idk, commanding mandarin looks

long oasis
#

its very authoritative yea

lament blaze
#

I think Korean looks sick.. especially since it's in an alphabetical script

long oasis
#

Ive heard that spoken chinese is harsh to foreigners

deft badge
#

I think I'd agree with that

#

It sounds aggressive

lament blaze
#

The way korean puts the graphemes together is nutty

mighty root
#

Ni wu shui zhongwen ma, should be “do you speak mandarin?” @long oasis

nop

#

I would be playing Dispatch later today

#

Imma see whats up

mighty root
long oasis
#

taht would be cantonese?

long oasis
#

some dont give a shit and slur everything out

mystic ether
long oasis
#

and then they speak really fast so its a double whammy of being impossible to understand

deft badge
#

All I know is if I'm ever in China I'm telling people my name is 威震天

mystic ether
#

I just haven't developed the the vocals for it so my brain just fumbles the brief time I tried learning some hangul from a friend lol

They teased the hell out of me for fucking up most words. 😭

NO SPOILERS

#

pls

long oasis
#

no spoilers im just telling u this

drowsy steppe
#

well dont anyways xd

#

lemme make the wrong choices for the sake of immersion

long oasis
#

im gonna say theres not a wrong choice per se just do what you want

#

for what im referring to

frosty crescent
#

korean tone and cadence whilst learning another set of consonants for it is hard

long oasis
#

but also I will instult you if you pick wrong

frosty crescent
#

it was required linguistic work but i am glad i never must do it again

full nebula
deft badge
#

Ig i shouldn't say that

mighty root
mystic ether
#

But Mandarin, Spanish, whatever form of Arabic I end up potentially floating to or picking up on, Russian, Swahili, Yoruban, Cantonese, Haitian Creole, Brazilian Portuguese, Tagalog, Thai would probably be my picks for a polyglot spread if I had things my way and had the kind of life I'd need to make that entire journey possible.

frosty crescent
mystic ether
#

Like if I could actually afford to cloister up a bit and endure that kind of intense study I'd take it on to a solid degree.

long oasis
mystic ether
#

Smaller goals rn is just getting back my spanish skills, picking back up on japanese, probably learning some variety of Arabic and Tagalog.

long oasis
mighty root
#

Fun fact if you want know if someone is trying to talk down to you listen for how many Latin words they use

mystic ether
drowsy steppe
mystic ether
#

I have an easier time reading some japanese compared to picking up on speech.

drowsy steppe
#

to not sway me to one side or the other kekw

mystic ether
#

Spanish has just been eternally part of my background and it's lowkey a shame I never tasked myself with being fluent in it and multiple dialects within that.

#

But I like being able to communicate with people and read other shit so breaking a language barrier is something I've valued pretty immensely. Plenty of familiarity with being around tons of people from other parts of the world who don't have english as a first language so I've just been exposed to other languages being thrown in by bilinguists and polyglots.

#

And also for travel in the future when/if I get the funds for that kind of thing.

#

Not really down to be in countries I don't know much more about at the local lived-in street level and not know how to speak and read.

#

That's just bad strategy at that point lol

long oasis
#

if u know how to speak then you know how to read

#

by asking other people to read it for you lol

mystic ether
#

I mean yeah but I also just like having that self-suffiency.

#

Just in case I really need to help myself out or someone else in the moment.

long oasis
#

true

mystic ether
#

Definitely don't wanna take chances with that kind of vulnerability if I can help it. Main reason why I even care about learning other languages besides it just being fun.

#

no more monkey mode for you

drowsy steppe
#

cuz the sun constantly beams deathrays to the earth and it takees 8 minutes for it to travel from sun to earth (speed of light and all that)

#

but hey we have the atmosphere to thank for our survival!

mighty root
long oasis

but I need the death rays to produce vitamins

#

thas fucked up maybe the sun should think about what its doing

@sterile basalt Today I learned eating rice noodles with plastic chopsticks is shit

metal ones arent bad but I get scared

like with metal straws

delicate shadow

yeaaa that's why I prefer wooden

long oasis

what if a freak accident happens and I die due to metal chopsticks

delicate shadow

I'd rather deal with wooden ones eventually warping with repeated use and heating than crack a tooth lmao

yeah mine super long wooden cooking chopsticks look like some Doctor Seuss shit at this point from being near steam too long

I mean hell, the day the game debuted and I made okri, I had no intent to do him specifically I was just makin an ogryn

but I was convinced the voice actor for the cockney ogryn voice was actually bardin from vt2

cuz they sound so similar

as soon as I heard what I thought was that dude's voice in darktide too my destiny was set

practically all of my time in vt2 was ironbreaker so I just kept the vibe rolling

gleaming furnace

very nice

zinc talon

I dunno if it's still the case cuz it's been a bit since I've used weapon customizations mod

but one of the weapon head options for most all melee weapons just attached a really large trinket, to where the weapon head would be

instant flail/morningstar

#

using your trinkets as the flail head option

yea im not sure what thats about

idk i dont have the mod but it couldve at least picked a more fitting trinket for the weapon

If they're normal prem tabs

Not quad

sterile stone

They've got the color label on them

So I'd assume they're prem

lunar fable

Do they have a ton of slots

The quad tab is literally just taking a tab and multiplying the slots it has by 4 so you can put more shit in it

Maybe something that's interesting enough to pay attention to, but not hype enough to passively inspire you resist sleep. Turn off your blue light filter if you're on your phone as well, turn off those lights in the room if you're able to.

Consider melatonin 5g if you can purchase it.

You think 10% melee damage increase or the 10% melee speed on push attack would be better?

#

I feel like APM would give me the edge but having to do the push attack to get it feels a bit... Gimmicky, having to weave it into my attack pattern, I haven't gotten to a point where it feels "natural"

modern jasper

THE MOST roundabout insult EVER

"i hope you find something you enjoy, you remind me of those chinese bhopping cs:go players"

#

Screw that guy, you were great lmao

#

How do you extend your scoreboard like that btw?

mystic ether
gray ice
#

Weapons like crusher and relic blade have push attack heavy combos that are used a lot. So you get a lot of atk speed benefit there

modern jasper
gray ice
#

It'll feel unnatural on weapons where you're forcing the pa in situations you wouldn't use it really to gain atk speed benefit

modern jasper
#

Makes me wonder if I'd get more out of the 10% dmg, since I already run martyrdom

mystic ether
#

That's not a gimmick then, that's just getting used to learning how to weave something else in.

gray ice
#

At that point just take the % dmg

modern jasper
#

I feel like it could be nice if I run it with MK II instead of X, since the stab feels a bit like a waste when I'm cleaving hordes

#

Love MK II for the event that spams crushers/bulwarks

mystic ether
#

With a conscious edge to it. Shoves and push attacks are already just a core part of the gameplay. You juicing your attack speed from a basic act of making space for yourself just gives you a snappy method of counterattacking.

modern jasper
#

Thats true

gray ice
#

You can work it in fairly nicely

#

But it is much more natural for the horde clear combo on the mk2

modern jasper
#

Oh shit nice

#

I'll def grab it on MK II then

#

Save the 10% atk for MK X

scenic drift
modern jasper
#

wym

#

whats that

mystic ether
#

It's just a matter of whether or not you want to supplement a defensively minded aspect within your build. One that requires, and I mean no shittalk I'm just saying, your conscious choice to have that as a feature within your build via talent choices.

Even if it may not be 100% necessary, you're not really putting yourself at a crazy loss for that. If anything, you're just dumping something a little extra.

A personal criteria for me is whether or not pathing towards certain talents I want sacrifices talents that I may have greater need for. After the talent rework, zealot gets access to little treats like that and it feels good for weapons like a crusher in my experience or variants of a relic blade/eviscerator mk15 build.

And if we're talking about relic, that talent alone juices up something that relic always loves which is more attack speed. Considering the talents that can be taken along that path and on the sides of it, I'd say it's a fine pick, especially for a more defensively minded playstyle.

Zealot feels good as a melee specialist the more interactions it can leverage from fundamental melee. Loading that stack is dope. The only other class I can think of operating like that but to a much wilder degree is arbites.

# scenic drift mod that makes game super easy <:kappapeek:1055039195170738237>

This reminded me of the other day, I saw someone using a third person mod that gave him this insane situational awareness, and I thought it looked really neat. But I REALLY dont like mods like spidey sense, or wallhacks or whatever, and it made me wonder if it was kind of the same caliber as I watched him dodge like every single mutant coming from 20 different directions, or its more of a grey area/personal preference

scenic drift
modern jasper
#

My hearings not the best so while I can usually hear things, like pushing a dog behind me or crap like that, if there's something nearby, whether its left or right or behind me, it all sounds the same to me

scenic drift
#

You're free to use or not use.

modern jasper
#

I more so mean in personal creed

#

Less of the rules

spare talon
#

the 3rd person mod makes it really rough to be accurate in melee tbh, and the animations look completely different so youd really need to remember where you are in your combo by heart

scenic drift
#

Well yes, if you think something is unfair, then you don't need to use it.

#

3rd person mod is really cool, but too janky

modern jasper
#

I don't know if it is or isn't, I'm on the fence about it, and wanted to know what other people thought

scenic drift
#

I use everything with no remorse.

spare talon
#

i think the game is better played in first person

modern jasper
#

It is made for it ye

spare talon
#

i think 3rd person puts you at an active disadvantage

mystic ether
#

I'd actually be curious to see how a 3rd person view feels to play. I do just like 1stp pov a lot. Has a very different effect on immersion to since we gotta aim melee.

modern jasper
#

It may have been a very selective example, it was a wide open area in Mortis Trials

spare talon
#

i have 3rd person as a toggle mostly for when lobbies are getting boring

scenic drift
#

They could've just had a ultrawide screen

modern jasper
#

And he dodged like every single mutant and had a bead on every single one

scenic drift
#

and/or spidey sense showing incoming directions

modern jasper
#

Even with my fucked hearing spidey sense would make me feel dirty lol

scenic drift
#

why?

modern jasper
#

Same with wallhacks, Executioner Stance vets are wonderful to have in my lobby and I don't want to also rob myself of that joy when I find myself playing with one

scenic drift
#

You think deaf people should be at a significant disadvantage?

modern jasper
#

I'm not deaf

#

Just a little messed up

#

If I was, I'd probably use it yea

#

But thats more of an extreme example lol

scenic drift
#

so put in earplugs and use spidey sense

#

or disable audio in-game rather

#

I think spidey sense is pretty overblown

mystic ether
#

What's the exact purpose of it?

scenic drift
#

shows a direction of incoming specials, similar to sound

mystic ether
#

Minor mod but huge info change. I can see where people can find use for it and that's fine. Same as autofire.

scenic drift
#

I think the cleave/net warnings are far stronger than the direction assist.

modern jasper
#

Direction assist sounds nice, but I wouldn't use any of the warnings

#

I do want to grab that one mod that shows what debuffs enemies would have, that would be awesome

#

But alas, time for work pepebusiness

mystic ether
#

I don't have much of an issue with blind dodging but I think that's just me having so much experience with these kinds of games at this point that it's real shit just baked in. The only time I really have an issue with that is when audio skips for any reason or unique situations like me tunneling on those big mutant waves during a horde event and specialist brigade.

scenic drift
#

I just like how psykernautics lets me make priority targets the color I want kek

#

It makes lights out largely irrelevant as a modifier though, even more than nameplates

mystic ether
#

Having that would make those kinds of situations less of a problem. That's the case use for me until whatever could be done to remedy any audio issues with the game that might be at play.

I distinctly remember a time during one of the closed betas where trappers were only really quiet in their roaming. Tide games and other horde shooters from the past picked up on the necessity of isolated audio cues that are definitely meant to tell the player what's up.

scenic drift

but lights out is literal ass, so I don't care kekLeo2

whenever I forget to enable mods after a patch, I am shocked how weird it is to play without knowledge.

dull iris
#

whenever i forget to enable mods after a patch, i die of cringe

#

quite crazy when you remember spamming dodge actually makes you jump without mods

mystic ether
#

Well yeah. All jokes aside i talked about last night. Information can be small but information is always something that can be expressed cumulatively.

Games like this favor stripping down information for the sake of immersion. This can enrich players with an experience, provided their execution is able to meet their imaginations and limits of the game, you get that extra kick of feedback satisfaction.

Exestance is a great example of what an ability entirely devoted to information, but on a timer relative to the vet's ability to actually play sharpshooter or shooter period in a game entirely designed around being dark as fuck with trite very brief sprinkles of information.

#

Think of the visual tells you get from shooter units.

dull iris
scenic drift
#

or well I have dodge on m4

#

and I don't jump when I spam it

mystic ether
#

You have to do it within the wrong cadence to pull it off. Can happen

dull iris
#

yeah there is no option to disable that

#

and really no reason why it happens

mystic ether
#

Forgot how mods for that work but that's been a thing since vt2 iirc.

dull iris
#

btw how bad is tacaxe against carapace

#

and is the finesse modifier enough to offset it

scenic drift
dull iris
#

ah so they are just dumb

scenic drift
#

so I've never had that issue since I bind dodge on m4, I guess

spare talon
#

it has a fair amount of its carapace damage in its crits, but you should already be leaning into crits with taxe anyway at least a little bit

#

with a max taxe youre already at 17% baseline

dull iris
#

of course with carapace i mean crusher

#

how many swings does it take on average to down a crusher

spare talon
#

i dont have an exact number for you but i can just show you

dull iris
#

sure

mystic ether
# dull iris and really no reason why it happens

I don't know how this game logs inputs, but the reason that can be happening could be the window where your character is technically neutral so the next spammed out dodge in this example would just be logged as a jump.

This kind of thing is easier to feel when dodge counts are exhausted and diminishing returns for dodge distances get shorter, worsening the consistency.

That's more of a principle of how commands are registered. So mods that get into that and slot themselves in to cover that input can negate that from happening.

dull iris
#

yeah i get that but there is no reason that should be the case

mystic ether
#

That would be a reason and that doesn't have anything to do with oversight or neglectful design choices.

dull iris
#

it has all to do with oversight and neglectful design choices

mystic ether
#

A principle interaction of how inputs work when someone is executing something isn't really on a developer team's head though? The same things can happen in other genres of games on totally different scales.

dull iris
#

uh yeah, it shoudl be on the developer team's head

#

they don't just stop at how inputs work and call it a day

mystic ether
#

I mean, you wouldn't be getting it without more conscious dodge timings.

dull iris
#

stopping you from jumping would be a QoL choice and that's also what the developers do, occasionally

dull iris
#

because there is no reason why you would be jumping if you spammed lateral dodges

mystic ether
#

It's genuinely something that's just passively avoided with conscious timing. You genuinely need to be mashing out dodges so much that you're just jumping because you're not faster than a mod covering for that.

dull iris
#

yeah i say that's horsedung and get a mod instead

scenic drift
#

so wait, you have dodge on space with jump?

mystic ether
#

You're dodging at the end of a dodge's recovery man, that's just how an input works.
