zealot-class

[frosty herald]

Blue stim crushers are genuinely so tanky

[ivory marlin]

Kill them fast

[sullen forge]

Goes into movement

[hexed igloo]

I don't even use the dog coherency lmao we ball

[ivory marlin]

Real

[sullen forge]

Positioning, kill the enemies and kite them around your environment

[frosty herald]

Cant imagine what pox gas rotten armor blie stim crushers are like

[stuck thicket]

the 3 classes i play are like

[sullen forge]

This also boils into Map knowledge

That comes with game time

[stuck thicket]

scum zealot and vet

[sullen forge]

All 3 are good at it

[olive raven]

I simply cast crack addict screech

[sullen forge]

Just Zealot has HP and toughness leeway

Scum and Vet even though scum admittedly has more over Vet at times

Are “all or nothing”

Aka you either take barely any damage

[stuck thicket]

i can kill a melee horde without too many difficulties on my scum

shivs go brr

[ivory marlin]

Rampage! And m1 are really good at regaining toughness imo i don’t need coherency

[sullen forge]

Or immediately down/die

[olive raven]

scum in rampage or desperado -> yay everything dead no damage

outside those -> fuck

[ivory marlin]

Rampage + dependencies is such a goated build

[sullen forge]

Chem crate scum unironically makes Blight and Tox a joke

[olive raven]

scum is basically just arena shooter

Stop moving ur dead

[sullen forge]

Plus they nullify the corruption on taking damage

[stuck thicket]

how much general playtime would you consider to be the point where you learn allat

[sullen forge]

But that’s you just dumping purely into supporting

[sullen forge]

1k+

I’m ngl

[stuck thicket]

gulp

so 1k hours is like

[winter steppe]

Feeling bored pals. Would you like to talk about music?

[sullen forge]

By then you should have a basic grasp

[deft badge]

Class yt and reddit thinks is bad btw

[ivory marlin]

Im at 300 hours

[olive raven]

Not even rampage tbh

[stuck thicket]

average player

[olive raven]

Nah

1k isn’t

[sullen forge]

400-600 you should be getting more confident

[stuck thicket]

rn im like

[sullen forge]

But by 1k you should easily have those fundamentals down

[frosty herald]

Rampage is really good

[olive raven]

If u have a brain and decent mechanics then u get gud eithin 300-400

[stuck thicket]

170 or so and keep fucking up

so this is normal right

[ornate bone]

I'd say it depends on how much you throw yourself at the fire and how much you understand things going wrong

[frosty herald]

They just hate the stamina regen debuff

[sullen forge]

And you should be hitting like 25+ easily on havoc

[hexed igloo]

Is it just gonna be Powerwolf or rammstein

[olive raven]

You gotta remember ppl in this chat are chewed on what “average” is

[ornate bone]

For quite a while, even after a "lot" of hours, I didn't really know how to kite because I never bothered trying to understand it

[long oasis]

there are people here with 3k hours

[hexed igloo]

I'm at like 120 so yeah I'd say you're normal

[sullen forge]

I mean yeah if you’re only 200 in and you’re hitting 20

[ornate bone]

I'd just die, go "wow, this game throws a lot at me huh" and requeue

[sullen forge]

That’s about normal

[winter steppe]

Nah. I prefer really old music. Blues, jazz, big band orchestras and the like, personally.

[stuck thicket]

alright

[winter steppe]

One of my favorites

[ornate bone]

Knife zealot named Mack

[olive raven]

wait ishavoc that mode with like perks at end of rounds and shit

[ornate bone]

That's mortis trials

[long oasis]

no

[olive raven]

O

[ornate bone]

Killing Floor 3

[olive raven]

wtf is havoc then

[ornate bone]

You don't want to know

[long oasis]

havoc is with the comissar dukane with extra modifiers attached to missions

[winter steppe]

Pain and suffering

[hexed igloo]

Sludge

Kf2 still on top

[olive raven]

So exactly why I play this game?

[stuck thicket]

so like

[sullen forge]

Not even mentioning you still gotta learn weapon movesets to a point it’s second nature

[olive raven]

I play war thunder and darktide, all I know is in

[ivory marlin]

All my new votes are in celeste

[ornate bone]

It's just like uh

[stuck thicket]

learn movement learn map layout learn how to fight on my own

[ornate bone]

Too much suffering

[stuck thicket]

is that it

[sullen forge]

Because by then you should be able to use what you’re comfortable with

[ivory marlin]

So close

[long oasis]

ew darktide

[winter steppe]

Here’s another good one: https://youtu.be/rdLyaIm0LLE?si=eS7SKUc4802akho6

[sullen forge]

Basically

[ornate bone]

They have interesting difficulty modifiers, but way too many at once

[winter steppe]

Because it’s fun at times.

[olive raven]

Okay the tl;dr to git gud

Target priority
Keep moving
Learn to carry

[ivory marlin]

Lowkey i got the character that looked cool so now i want the hot one

[long oasis]

I love rotten armor!! Please send 500 crushers in my direction

[solar gorge]

that's like throwing sandviches in a fire when ur starving but i respect the attitude

[hexed igloo]

Our tastes could not possibly be more different

[olive raven]

Ik I play for the pain

[winter steppe]

Big sad

You make me sad, pal.

[ivory marlin]

Watch it be a graves situation where she has a silent majority

[solar gorge]

naw lmao

[ornate bone]

You have stuff like corruption pools from a bunch of enemies, reduced toughness and health, ranged enemies get a tad bit much, and you still have to deal with other funky stuff

[solar gorge]

graves's majority wasn't silent at all

[hexed igloo]

You're the one that listens to 1930s jazz lmao nothin against it but you'll be hard pressed to find people that also listen to it

[winter steppe]

Fair.

[glossy nimbus]

they should make blights spreads corruption temporary corruption instead

so its not a counter pick sorta thing

[olive raven]

🦭

[glossy nimbus]

though today I played a match where we did okay without corruption resistance

[ornate bone]

Yeah, all that corruption stuff does is force people to run corruption talents to counteract it

[olive raven]

Btw guys Argus is complete ass

He moves like a grandma

[hexed igloo]

And bald

[winter steppe]

I’m gonna post a few more of my favorites. :)

[olive raven]

@sterile stone

[ornate bone]

Wow, I stepped on a pool and lost health through my toughness, yaaay

[sullen forge]

Also dont feel bad if you can’t clear 40 because it’s brutally difficult for a reason

[glossy nimbus]

I lik eneeding to do extra footwork and balancing my corruption

[sullen forge]

Unless you’re psyker

[glossy nimbus]

but being punished for like

[sterile stone]

You have no ass

Shush

[winter steppe]

https://youtu.be/Q2rHMvTeAsY?si=DeTKh8WFSNsZ3fuG

[sullen forge]

Psyker just makes the game easy

[glossy nimbus]

walking slightly

[hexed igloo]

It's why I can't run martyr too much shit be knocking me thru my toughness

[frosty herald]

dont be too harsh on senior citizens

[sterile stone]

@olive raven

[hexed igloo]

Says the fence post bro

[ornate bone]

Yeah, like I said, it's some interesting modifiers that get stupid when put together

[hexed igloo]

Something something glass house throwing stones

[long oasis]

if ur a fence post do u still count as a fence sitter

[hexed igloo]

No that'd be your boyfriend

[long oasis]

[winter steppe]

Let’s see, one more I think.

[ornate bone]

You'd be like "yeah sure, do you have some lube at least"

[hexed igloo]

Iain got no interest in someone built like a fence post you better be cheeked tf up

[ornate bone]

The lube is final toll

It's made of ground sandpaper

[hexed igloo]

So sand?

[ornate bone]

Is sandpaper made of sand?

[olive raven]

Bitch Ill show proof otherwise

[ornate bone]

Hot

[olive raven]

stawp lying

[long oasis]

purely based on pfp and profile vibes I assumed u would listen to metal

[hexed igloo]

What do you think the name came from

[hexed igloo]

I figured rammstein

[long oasis]

yea rammstein

[ornate bone]

I thought it was like uhhh the uhhh metal

[long oasis]

maybe smashing pumpkins

[hexed igloo]

It's not called metalpaper

[sterile stone]

I know what I like

[winter steppe]

I used to listen to Sabaton before I got into old ass music.

[sterile stone]

And yeen ain't got it

[ornate bone]

I will annihilate you

[olive raven]

You ain’t seen it

[placid fiber]

lol apparently my game didn't pause when I hit pause, so I got downed while I sent this. I still won, but, that was funny

[winter steppe]

Not much anymore

[olive raven]

Rammstein live is dope

[long oasis]

they still tour?

[winter steppe]

Would you like some more old music?

[hexed igloo]

I'll glue some sand to paper in front of you and watch your head fucking explode from this incredible esoteric knowledge

[olive raven]

[winter steppe]

Good music is timeless pal.

[sterile stone]

I quite literally said

The game chugs

When people make giant sky scrapers

At the four corners of the map

The game is fine as long as you don't start adding a bunch of mega bases all around the map

[olive raven]

Okay well get multiple people playing then you bald man

[sterile stone]

I'm not even bald you hairy arms ass carpet worm

[winter steppe]

Big sad, just noticed the version of Dinah I added is cut off near the end. Time to fix that.

https://youtu.be/BhVdLd43bDI?si=vIL-Ack9LYfRmp4Q

Much better. Now I’ve run out of old music to throw at ya, so that’s all for now.

[olive raven]

@lunar fable Do you have a copy of the skill tree that isn't cursed

I'm trying to copy the build but the dude's tree is blurry as fuck

ALSO

I should say

[lunar fable]

he didn't make this build originally

but he is cracked at poe

A dex/strength magic build is weird tho

[upper jacinth]

hi

how do you play this game

[sterile stone]

I refuse to gamble more

[signal spoke]

stop being old

[signal spoke]

smashing

[upper jacinth]

i cant tell what im doing wrong i can barely even see whats going on on my screen

[ornate bone]

Don't worry, that never goes away

[sterile stone]

Shoot and melee things

[upper jacinth]

it just feels like mindless slashing and sometimes i just die

does getting better at this game mean mindless slashing and dying slightly less

[sterile stone]

That's the nature of horde shooters

[solar gorge]

how are u older than me

i thought u were like 20 or something

[signal spoke]

no

[frosty herald]

im an old man now

https://klipy.com/gifs/unc-still-got-it-1

[ornate bone]

Dying less is included

[upper jacinth]

i dont know how to get better at this game

i dont improve by experience

[signal spoke]

mindless slashing is not the way to fix all issues

[ornate bone]

You also learn to discern which blurry blob is the one you need to kill the most

[solar gorge]

be careful dude

at 30 u die

[sterile stone]

I mean that's kinda the only way to get better is via experience.

[ornate bone]

shut up homie I'm gonna be 29 soon

[solar gorge]

ur hairs fall off and you just wither

[ivory marlin]

Shoot barrels when a smikyer is near them

[sterile stone]

There isn't a instant win build or class out there tbh.

[solar gorge]

and you get no game

[upper jacinth]

well yeah but like

sorry i should be more specific

[ornate bone]

finasteride will delay my death indefinitely

[upper jacinth]

i dont really LEARN

by experience

i can improve by experience but that doesnt make me any smarter i still have no idea what im doing

[ornate bone]

So you learn

[upper jacinth]

do they make tutorials for not dying in this game

[ornate bone]

[visual stream]

Dodge

Tutorial over

/j

[ivory marlin]

I turn 20 this year

[sterile basalt]

play solo/duo
u will lose until u win

[ornate bone]

boomer

[solar gorge]

just keep playing

urll get better

[sterile stone]

I mean you'd probably need a sherpa of some sorts.

[mystic ether]

It's mostly a lot of getting accustomed to different scenarios over time and rounding out your fundamentals as you improve and keep sharpening those skills. Builds that are more substantial can act as a sort of framework for realizing the power of a loadout as well. It just gives a bit of structure.

For now, embrace the chaos while you hone in on things over time. What class do you like playing? Are there some weapons you're interested in?

[ornate bone]

Ainz yourself until utmost proficiency

[sterile stone]

And the only one I can think of atm is Ainz

[sterile basalt]

it just works

it's prob the fastest way to improve

[long oasis]

improving IS learning in this game, getting good just takes time

[sterile stone]

But dead ass, it's a online horde shooter, most of your experience is just learning as you play. That's how it's been for all of us.

[glossy nimbus]

Yes you do.

[ornate bone]

Realsies talksies though: you're gonna be learning the basics and then repeating them while keeping an eye out for how things are going wrong

[signal spoke]

this game is all about improving by experience and learn be smart on scenarios

[glossy nimbus]

It's the only way to improve

[upper jacinth]

i guess ill just like

bash my head against certain death until i find what works

[ornate bone]

The one way to not learn from experience that I found is if you do not think on mistakes at all

[visual stream]

True

[mystic ether]

Sounds like you'll need to work on your defense. Highly recommend starting there in terms of what you apply more consistenly.

[sterile basalt]

what difficulty are u mainly playing

[solar gorge]

feel free to ask as many questions as u want to

[ornate bone]

Mistakes are only mistakes if you learn nothing from them

[glossy nimbus]

Push for space, dodge to avoid attacks.

[visual stream]

Equip smite and then blame people for not "covering" you

[lunar fable]

it's in the shop to buy

[ornate bone]

Do not give them ideas

[sterile stone]

Playing on easier difficulties til you learn audio que's helps aswell.

[ornate bone]

[glossy nimbus]

dont do this^

[upper jacinth]

my issue is that usually i cant see what killed me i just go down or get flung off the map

[glossy nimbus]

dont use smite

ever

[lunar fable]

they move old mystery box stuff to the store 1-2 leagues after

[sterile stone]

It's gonna be a second before I invest more money into PoE2

[signal spoke]

do you often keep sprinting on open areas with ranged enemies on you?

[mystic ether]

Are you getting shot down or beat up?

[upper jacinth]

its usually not to guns

[mystic ether]

Mm.

[signal spoke]

Game gives you plenty of audio cues to all directions

[upper jacinth]

i am getting beat to death by the horde

[visual stream]

You're right, sorry. Equip shield on ogryn with taunt and hold the special then complain about your team not "covering" you

[signal spoke]

Including the backstab melee swing

[long oasis]

show build and weapons

[ornate bone]

The game is unfortunately gonna be heavy on effects, so what you can do is bind the tag button to outline certain enemies, while also disabling effects like bloom and motion blur

[signal spoke]

grey name

[upper jacinth]

hold on i just found a match ill be back

[signal spoke]

[visual stream]

Ashley is your build 223121 or 333112

[sterile stone]

There's an audio que that plays before you get hit/shot, I'd try just listening for those and learning to dodge, block+ shove as much as possible.

[glossy nimbus]

Push more, pushing gives you space and staggers things around you.

[ornate bone]

In case the horde is just the boomer

[long oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/we-are-going-to-beat-you-to-death-cat-mr-potato-mr-potato-cat-esmbot-gif-22848174

[mystic ether]

Alright. Then that's a place to start.

When you're dealing with hordes, what's some of the most common ways you go down? Are you able to maybe pinpoint in your memory common points of failure?

[ornate bone]

Oh, I didn't delete the message

I failed to call the man a boomer

I cannot repeat the joke, as it's not funny when corrected

[ornate bone]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[upper jacinth]

hold on actually im loading in right now ill record when i explode and die

[lunar fable]

i don't think they even spawn in sedition

[visual stream]

I think crushers don't

Yeah that

[ornate bone]

I'd accept that

It's very useful to learn work safety

[visual stream]

Well sedition doesn't exist anymore right

They start spawning in malice IIRC

[hexed igloo]

Sometimes when I breathe my nose whistles and it pisses me off so badly

[ornate bone]

I imagine the guy is calling 911 to let them know of new tips and tricks to avoid horrible death at work

There is like uh

and uh

medical exams you can do to find out

about the nose stuff

[hexed igloo]

I mean I don't need to find out I can look at my nose in a mirror and go "yep deviated"

[ornate bone]

it's in your best interest if you're not one of the 87% of the population that's below the poverty line

I'd definitely want bread over a medical exam

[olive raven]

It’s based in Pittsburgh

[lunar fable]

da pit

[long oasis]

I think the fallout version is more lore accurate

[lunar fable]

i'm right there

[sterile stone]

Woooord

[plush estuary]

I think path was looking to play blab

[sterile stone]

We got hamburger helper on the stove

[lunar fable]

i don't have him added

[solar gorge]

where does the name pittsburg comes from anyway

[plush estuary]

I do

[sterile stone]

But I'm bout to go to werrrrrrrk

[lunar fable]

also i need to finish this assignment for my gunner promo

[sterile stone]

So this shit is ass

[median steeple]

my fav lore tidbit is that Pittsburgh was already pretty shit before the bombs, a lot of the industrial run off was already there

[lunar fable]

halfway done

[frosty herald]

the throggs are created because of cancer right

[long oasis]

brad pitt founded the city and it had a substantial german immigrant population

[void bison]

the Pitt has frog people

[frosty herald]

or are they heavily mutated because of a different strain of cancer

[median steeple]

mix of radiation and pollution

[solar gorge]

OH

it's named after Williman Pitt

i get it

william

[long oasis]

weird how ghouls are only ever seen post war

when every car is fusion powered and theres runoff everywhere

[upper jacinth]

this game is hard in a way that feels not bullshit like other coop games

and i appreciate that

[ornate bone]

Don't worry, you'll get there yet

[plush estuary]

extremely high skill ceiling

[lunar fable]

is this 4th a random

[plush estuary]

yeah

[ornate bone]

Conga conga con-ga 🎵

[frosty herald]

what if there were pre war ghouls that were hidden by the goverment

[upper jacinth]

i swear every coop games high difficulty is just "lets blow you up in two hits"

[median steeple]

Prob because you need a like a high concentration of radiation at once to be ghoulified

[plush estuary]

its public

whoops

[plush estuary]

Thats havoc

[heady rapids]

oh you'll see a lot of bullshit later on

[median steeple]

so the bombs created most of the ghouls we see

[upper jacinth]

this isnt even hyperbole payday 2 actually kills you in two shots

[solar gorge]

there's (almost) an answer to everything in dt

[plush estuary]

this

[heady rapids]

this game is very close to payday levels of balancing

[frosty herald]

the marked men have it the absolute worst as ghouls

[solar gorge]

except it's not boring

[heady rapids]

dangerously close

[solar gorge]

like payday is

[heady rapids]

cause fs refuse to nerf things

shut up

nerd

[upper jacinth]

btw

[ornate bone]

I remember Payday 2's death sentence (formerly one down) had a "bug" where the normal cop guy dealt sniper damage

[upper jacinth]

does this game run like ass or is something wrong with my pc

[solar gorge]

ass

[ornate bone]

Nah, it does

[solar gorge]

i drop frames on my war machine

it's normal

[median steeple]

yeah they have it bad, I assume that will happen to any ghoul who wanders into the divide

[void bison]

you must have gods cpu to render the horde

[frosty herald]

dont you have DSOD?

[median steeple]

since they started out as ghouls and the storm just makes them marked men

[solar gorge]

cpu heavy game

[upper jacinth]

is this bronco cop

[ornate bone]

I recommend trying out this guide to see if it works https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3547365607

[frosty herald]

its told that because of the harsh sandstorms their skin gets sandblasted and reduced to muscle so it has to be something that happens overtime

[ornate bone]

And play around with the worker threads on the launcher

[upper jacinth]

yeah ive tried everything online it still runs like ass

[heady rapids]

one down was a difficulty

[upper jacinth]

this too

[frosty herald]

i know

[ornate bone]

I set mine to 6 out of 10 and it's been working nice

[frosty herald]

it was an option you could pick for every diff i believe

[heady rapids]

ni

no

it was a difficulty

[frosty herald]

hm

[solar gorge]

you migght want to run everyting at the lowest possible

[heady rapids]

its an option now

[upper jacinth]

one down used to be tied to the difficulty and not the checkbox

[ornate bone]

Oh well, a last resort I'd try is updating the drivers

[solar gorge]

or a config if that doesn't help

[upper jacinth]

i did do this and it uh

still runs like ass

[ornate bone]

RIP

[heady rapids]

are u on amd

[ornate bone]

Such is the dark tide

[frosty herald]

https://klipy.com/gifs/new-vegas-1

[upper jacinth]

is it an amd gpu thing or is this game just globally fucked

[heady rapids]

if yes you're cursed

[upper jacinth]

FUCK

[heady rapids]

lmao

[ornate bone]

It could be from the GPU, yeah

[heady rapids]

yeah no luck here

[frosty herald]

darktide does not play nicely with amd

[ornate bone]

I read some threads about them being specially fucked

[upper jacinth]

will they fix it or will my gpu forever perform like a coughing baby

[heady rapids]

the latter most likely

[upper jacinth]

how often does this game get updates i got it like two weeks ago

Fuck

[ornate bone]

I used to have this inventory loading problem where the game would stutter loading the clothing icons

[solar gorge]

not often

[ornate bone]

They did do a performance update recently, but I don't think they really got the hang of the performance anymore

[upper jacinth]

i hope they get it eventually because this game is fun but like

it runs like ass

[solar gorge]

what's ur rig

[ornate bone]

Right now the highest difficulty on the mission board is crowded enough with enemies that sound cues occasionally don't play

[upper jacinth]

its technically like 90fps on lowest settings but like its the worst 90fps i have ever had to experience

[ornate bone]

So you get silent bursters, silent trappers

Oh yeah, I've been having that too

The frametime, I think it is, is absolutely chucklefucked

[upper jacinth]

i5-12400f rx 9060 xt

[ornate bone]

I clearly notice 80-90 FPS in the Mourningstar, but the actual game runs like it was 40

[upper jacinth]

its so fucked

yknow what

fuck it from now on i make no mistakes and im the perfect player

[ornate bone]

Previously I've managed to solve issues like that, such as in ESO, by enabling radeon chill and locking it to 60 FPS

[upper jacinth]

any "mistake" i make is CLEARLY the game running like shit

(true)

[ornate bone]

I've also left my AMD settings to the global default

[heady rapids]

enabling anything amd related in darktide usually results in horrific death

like

this is an amd feature

[ornate bone]

Also, another thing: sometimes the game gets horrid framerate in areas you might recognize as not getting horrid framerate before

[frosty herald]

https://youtu.be/6DekYBhWXJo?si=F6wHV1UuT2nsGgTH

i sense that a.a doesnt like shock mines but im not sure

[ornate bone]

If memory doesn't fail me, the game is trying to compile shaders while you play and it results in that dogshit framerate

[heady rapids]

it does that once

[sterile stone]

@olive raven Take over my shift and I'll buy you dinner

Promise

[ornate bone]

I already tell that from the Mourningstar, when looking at Hadron from the mission board is unreasonably laggy

[solar gorge]

decent but this game so cpu heavy

[ornate bone]

If that happens, I just restart the game and look at Hadron again until it works

[solar gorge]

like i had something close to urs before

[olive raven]

Suck my toes and maybe I won’t beat you

[solar gorge]

and darktide would just annihilate it

[ornate bone]

I'm running this on a Ryzen 5 3600

[sterile stone]

Why you always so hostile

[olive raven]

Cuz I wuv u

[ornate bone]

Which supposedly is the recommended CPU, but I fucking guess not anymore

[solar gorge]

it was on launch

[ornate bone]

If the game had a benchmark tool, at least we could easily test worker threads and the like

[upper jacinth]

hopefully i can upgrade sooner or later

maybe itll work then

[solar gorge]

chudling

prio cpu

[ornate bone]

With the way matches work, I can't really say the game is behaving better because one is HISTG, the other is vent purge sniper gauntlet, the other...

[upper jacinth]

this game is really cool but its frustrating how shitty it performs

[solar gorge]

in my opinion it's always the bottleneck

CPU cpu cpu

all the games i play are cpu heavy

[heady rapids]

u play horde shooters

obv

[solar gorge]

before i got the mega cpu i was a struggler

[ornate bone]

CPU and RAM are the worst bottlenecks to me

[hushed knoll]

Hello not Knify wolf

[ornate bone]

With GPUs you can just lower the giraffix and resolution until it kinda starts working

[heady rapids]

hello evil gordon ramsay

[ornate bone]

With CPU, none of that will work

[hushed knoll]

I’m not evil Gordon Ramsay

[long oasis]

thank you openai and nvidia for raising the prices of every single hardware component

[upper jacinth]

is it cheaper to buy pc parts or to buy a gun and raid a datacenter

[ornate bone]

I remember being bottlenecked by the CPU in RDR2 and Saint Denis wouldn't go above 40 FPS, even if I was playing on MS-DOS mode

[solar gorge]

do both

[ornate bone]

I think the gun is cheaper, but the raid might cost you in medical bills later

[upper jacinth]

american issue

[ornate bone]

It's all about the investment

[solar gorge]

don't buy a gun just use the free CIA handbook that teaches u how to make explosives

[upper jacinth]

actually now that i think about it how the fuck am i going to get a gun in canada

[upper jacinth]

i have this downloaded hold on
