psyker-class

[supple dock]

good enemy to hate

[spice veldt]

2x 20% gunner res is 36% gunner res and 3x is ~48.8% or whatever

[lethal lagoon]

Do you run Perilous Combustion?

[supple dock]

oh

[spice veldt]

so the effect is pretty reduced

[supple dock]

but that's not that bad

[spice veldt]

yeah it's fine

[supple dock]

36 vs 50% is a fine jump

[vernal temple]

can't remember really

[potent echo]

12%

[spice veldt]

i run 3x gunner res since i can't think of anything better to run but there is some motivation to pick another perk

[lethal lagoon]

It's the one where you kill an elite and it causes warpfire to spread

[paper lily]

Ally revive speed is really strong

[lethal lagoon]

It will decimate a shotgunner pack

[supple dock]

I'm running gunner + cdr

But I'm undecided on what I want my third perk to me

[vernal temple]

yeah I have that

[supple dock]

Been playing with corruption resist but idk

[paper lily]

Additive, higher than the displayed value as well

[supple dock]

someone give suggestions

[lethal lagoon]

Sniper

[supple dock]

surge smite knife

i ran sniper for a hot minute

[lethal lagoon]

Toughness regen, CDR, sniper, 1 of eeach flamer is just kinda of nice.

[supple dock]

turns 1/5th of your hp left to 2/3rds or whatever

[paper lily]

Recommend using power di to see what you get damaged by the most

[supple dock]

lags me :/

[potent echo]

Sniper 20% makes them do only 98 damage

[paper lily]

Turn off auto save

[supple dock]

I DID

[potent echo]

So if you have 200hp it lets you survive

[supple dock]

I have 165 hp

[lethal lagoon]

I don't hit by snipers that often, but at the same itme, when I do, and didn't have DR, it can ruin your day

[supple dock]

i will not run hp or toughness

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

Then no point running sniper res

[paper lily]

I'm always gonna have minimum hp on psyker

[spice veldt]

my plan with snipers is to just accept my fate if i get hit

such is life

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

C O W A R D

[lethal lagoon]

Embrace perfection

[paper lily]

I hate how health increases interact negatively with health packs

[supple dock]

not even 200/200 or 220/220

[supple dock]

positively with medicae tho

[lethal lagoon]

206 is the max psyker toughness I think

[spice veldt]

yeah it's quite a bad interaction

[lethal lagoon]

Or 226, wait I forgot

[spice veldt]

the ogryn in the background shlerping it all up

[supple dock]

so generally save medkits for liluns and medicae for ogryn

[paper lily]

Yeah but health packs are put when you're actually gonna get fucked up

[potent echo]

Just don't steal too much of the heal

[supple dock]

ogryn will unironically get more hp from just going down lmao

[paper lily]

Which is dumb but yeah

[lethal lagoon]

I try not to save medkits cause I took them with me to extraction way too often.

[supple dock]

When people ask when to use medkits or stims

"When you think to use them"

That's the time to use them

[lethal lagoon]

So never

[supple dock]

There's no perfect moment

I mean there IS

But like

[paper lily]

Average vet screaming I need ammo at you when he's yellow on it

[potent echo]

Just drop during event

[supple dock]

waiting for it is just gonna be saving them for darktide 2

[potent echo]

Or if you team is getting their poop scooped

[supple dock]

Using a medkit to prevent a single player from downing is also worthwhile imo

[lethal lagoon]

Hey.
Ammo anixety is a real condition that effects tens of people every year.

[supple dock]

unfortunately I never follow that rule for myself

[potent echo]

If they want you to drop during event that's understandable

[supple dock]

[potent echo]

Then they can go full auto or start tossing nades

[paper lily]

Anyone else love when you drop a crate and see person picked up 1 ammo from crate

[supple dock]

played with a vet on this discord

[paper lily]

That's one of my favourites

[supple dock]

500/966 recon lasgun ammo

[spice veldt]

my body eats medipacks/ammopacks (i forget that i'm holding onto one)

[supple dock]

"i need ammo im low"

[lethal lagoon]

Anything lower than 70% might as well be empty.

[potent echo]

Forgor

[supple dock]

We once had 2 grimoires and had field improv and I spaced out once..

[spice veldt]

sooooo true!!!!

[supple dock]

I'm sure you can guess what happened

[spice veldt]

so tragic

[strong gulch]

I remember a game awhile back with a vet who kept spamming "I need ammo". I started spamming it back while I had a staff. The rest of the team starting spamming it too.

[supple dock]

lmao

[potent echo]

Ammo! Quickly!

[supple dock]

I'm gonna bind ammo to spacebar now

Got tired of vacuum capsule

vacuum capsule is now on jump

[paper lily]

I'm just gonna spam No

[supple dock]

I do that with certain voice lines

Like Loner going "FACE MY UNBEARABLE WRATH" or w/e

And I just go

"No!"

"I AM DEATH"

"No!"

[lyric burrow]

I hate i can hear these perfectly

[paper lily]

A testament to the work put in by the va's

[supple dock]

true

[spice veldt]

josho.

[lyric burrow]

Im not josho

[spice veldt]

josh.

[lyric burrow]

No

I cant say your closer to josho

However you are worse

[spice veldt]

a statement of poor judgement

[lethal lagoon]

Why can't every launcher be like steam

Why do I always get signed out

[lyric burrow]

Proper judgement

[lethal lagoon]

[lyric burrow]

Also note the chart and your place in it

[spice veldt]

made by an unbiased party

[lyric burrow]

As the one not married i am the unbiased party

[supple dock]

playing psyker is the first sign of mental illness

[spice veldt]

it's a sign that i'm always right

seer psyker btw

[supple dock]

always right? that's loner

seer is appeal to authority

[lyric burrow]

Arco doesnt play psyker anymore

Dont listen to him

[lone ravine]

which psyker is the one that constantly goes on about their beloved again

[spice veldt]

i played it 2 times last time

checkmate

[supple dock]

seer

[lyric burrow]

Didnt count

[candid dawn]

i play the obama one

[lyric burrow]

Played purge

Yeah another insane arco L

[spice veldt]

maximum brain activity

[lyric burrow]

Doesnt take it in premades btw

[potent echo]

Purge neuron activation

[supple dock]

there is no psyker that constantly says "thanks obama" or stutters in their speech often

not stutters. trashwords

[lyric burrow]

A tragedy really

[candid dawn]

wish there was one

😔

[spice veldt]

i will take it to spite you

[supple dock]

speaking of obama

what's obama's last name???

[lyric burrow]

Didnt you also take ds4

Filthy uncanny abuser

[supple dock]

common purg user

[lyric burrow]

Cant believe arco would do this

[supple dock]

synapses FIRING

[spice veldt]

i would never

[lyric burrow]

He became the very thing he swore to destroy

[spice veldt]

false accusations are being levied against me

i'll have you know that my brain activity was very high when using purg

[lyric burrow]

(It wasn't)

[spice veldt]

my 10 apm gameplay

[candid dawn]

use purge but left clicks only

[lyric burrow]

Josho and i were honest gaming with knife

[candid dawn]

[lyric burrow]

And this man picks purge ds4

[spice veldt]

shrimple life

[lyric burrow]

Im surprised you dont hsword

[supple dock]

knife takes advanced tactics and reactions to use ok

[spice veldt]

not enough of a degenerate generalist weapon for me because of the anti-cara performance

i prefer the rashad over it

[supple dock]

actually it kinda does to get the most out of it

[lyric burrow]

You are truly degen

[supple dock]

But baseline it's stupid strong without that ability

[spice veldt]

the mk3 is pretty standard to me since it's just heavy spam

[lyric burrow]

Reactions are out of the equation for arco

[spice veldt]

i thought i would have to do more combos

because people were raving about it

[supple dock]

lmao true

for psyker it's even easier

PA

that's it

[spice veldt]

so tragic

[supple dock]

horde? PA

Armor? PA

Boss? PA

[spice veldt]

rwar

rawr

[supple dock]

though sometimes I will light spam a horde

but generally when the situation looks sketchy

on mk6

[lyric burrow]

Double my reaction time says what?

[spice veldt]

more is good

[lyric burrow]

I do wish i liked the mk6 more

Heavies feel weird to me

[lyric burrow]

🤨

[supple dock]

the only reason you should be heavying is to speed boost on psyker

[spice veldt]

mk6 is mildly slower on the movetech because of the h1 and i can't be assed to check the fringe breakpoints i might lose

[lyric burrow]

I also dont feel like rolling one to match my mk3

[supple dock]

yeah I still fully charge it because fuck ruining my muscle memory and rhythm

[spice veldt]

i'll probably lose the dreg gunner oneshot but i guess i'll have more cleave

[lyric burrow]

True but im sad when i get guard break memed and its far from muscle memory

Also cspawn

[supple dock]

guard break memed? Whacha mean?

And CS? Whacha mean?

[lyric burrow]

Nothing makes me seethe more than 45 guard breaks i get chained into

Then dying

[supple dock]

do you not run KD?

[spice veldt]

flamers on their way to ruin your day

i know that he runs scrier's

[lyric burrow]

I do but im at 80-90 peril p much always

[supple dock]

fighting a boss in a corner then you hear TICK TICK TICK

[spice veldt]

so that might be it

[lyric burrow]

I also run scriers

[supple dock]

ooooooooh. get more stamina

[lyric burrow]

Its not super common it happens

Just cspawn really

[supple dock]

MORE. STAMINA.

[spice veldt]

foolish fool

[lyric burrow]

Half the time i get guard broken i wasnt actually intending for my block to be hit

It either happened because of block frames on push or was i was trying to dodge out while blocking

[supple dock]

isn't the simple answer to hover 70

[spice veldt]

warp rider maxxing

[supple dock]

and not go past 90 unless you're safe

[lyric burrow]

Surely this never leads to me thinking im at 80 peril when im at 90 and quick swapping 2 assail shards

[spice veldt]

surely

[supple dock]

[lyric burrow]

Assail is also usually my only means of quell

[spice veldt]

https://streamable.com/39x2sc

[lyric burrow]

So i often one tick

Omfg

That was from like 7 years ago ok

[spice veldt]

this is why we record every game

just to catch moments like these

[supple dock]

your hud is a tragedy

an actual warcrime

[spice veldt]

my hud is very beautiful, thank you very much

[lyric burrow]

AND YOU COULDNT CLIP THE VRAKS THING

[spice veldt]

so tragic

[lyric burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/reari-dog-barking-koreaboomina-bblmina-gif-24010279

[spice veldt]

so true

[spice veldt]

i am a fierce fighter!

[lyric burrow]

I can hear you smirking

[supple dock]

here is my dodge counter

[lyric burrow]

You will be consumed

[spice veldt]

i've upgraded my dodge counter nowadays, much to your fortune

[lyric burrow]

Im gonna give you a false sense of security with Darcy RP and then itll be over for you

[spice veldt]

though i did mod the show remaining dodges one a bunch

[supple dock]

high contrast dodge counter important for me because laptop monitor

[lyric burrow]

F

[supple dock]

hard to see the small text in numeric ui

making it big enough to read would be too invasive

[paper lily]

I had to edit that dodge counter to count ineffective dodges

[lyric burrow]

It goes red when your real low iirc

At least

Like at ineffective

[supple dock]

yeah but I wasn't privy to what I was doing before that

[spice veldt]

i just made it smaller and made it changed colors a bit

[supple dock]

I like knowing when my ineffective dodges are gonna start

[lyric burrow]

Which is where i stay permanently

[paper lily]

Mine are default colours for the first half of dodges then turn red

[spice veldt]

https://streamable.com/prydxt

[paper lily]

Yeah mine is similar

[lyric burrow]

I would be so lost if i used arcos set up

Everything is different

Although if your controls were mainly the same id probably manage

[spice veldt]

ui maxxing

[paper lily]

I doubled base dodges and then the latter half are counted like that

[spice veldt]

dodge on shift might be different

[lyric burrow]

Oh yeah im dead

[spice veldt]

oh to account for ineffective dodges?

[lyric burrow]

Instantly

[paper lily]

I use dodge on shift

Yeah cuz they get progressively worse

[supple dock]

[paper lily]

You can still dodge any attack with perfect timing even at negative a million dodges but it gets harder

[spice veldt]

for me i reckon that i might as well focus on the effective dodges and not worry about the ineffective dodges since i can somewhat keep track of them, mostly because i run the same weapons all the time

[lyric burrow]

Yeah crushers are still semi reliable even at like -6

[spice veldt]

i have dodge on shift just because it seemed the most natural in terms of keybind optimization

[lyric burrow]

Do not ask why i am -6

[spice veldt]

and also because i played a game where i had to spam shift so my pinky is used to it

[hasty breach]

dodge on V

[paper lily]

I have the ineffective ones go red as a reminder to let it reset

[hasty breach]

shift is for sprinting

space for jump

v is where your thumb is

[lyric burrow]

Damn am i the only one who still uses space

[paper lily]

Mine does both

[hasty breach]

dodge on v

[paper lily]

Dodge and sprint same key

[spice veldt]

i initially had it like that for my old dodge counter but i think it was too much for me since i wanted to keep it closer to my crosshair without being too much clutter

[lyric burrow]

Ctrl is my jump and dodge is still space

Sprint still shift

Crouch is a mouse button tho

[hasty breach]

CTRL IS CROUCH

[supple dock]

you're derranged

[paper lily]

Yeah my ui is somewhat cluttered but I have ultrawide

[hasty breach]

dodge on v is the least disruption from norms and ergonomic

[paper lily]

C is crouch for me

[lyric burrow]

Ultrawide is pog

I dont have super ultrawide but still ultrawide

[hasty breach]

VVVVVV

[supple dock]

originally I thought "that's not bad" but then I remembered that you have to hit crouch in tandem with other keys

[paper lily]

I got a g9

[spice veldt]

with dodge on shift, C is pretty good for crouch

[lyric burrow]

Oled?

[paper lily]

Qled

[spice veldt]

the only downside is that my usual quell/reload is on [V]

so i can't easily quell when sliding

[supple dock]

Violet, Victoria, Vermillion, Vitellary, Verdigris, Viridian

[lyric burrow]

Damn nice

[spice veldt]

i can but i have to roll a bit and i just bound it to my thumb button with multiplekeybinds

[paper lily]

Game looks sick on it tbh

[lyric burrow]

I have a msi 34 inch QD OLED which i very much enjoy

[supple dock]

My friend used mousewheel for reload

[lyric burrow]

Wish DT had hdr support

[spice veldt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/897990245658787881.webp?size=80&quality=lossless

[paper lily]

Think I can get it on win11

But u know

[lyric burrow]

Yeah auto hdr detects it

[paper lily]

Windows 11

[lyric burrow]

QD OLED motion clarity is unreal even aside from colors

[supple dock]

but the most strange thing I do when I play is I play at 2k dpi and inverted Y

[hasty breach]

QUEULL IS R

ITS BRAIN RELOAD

[lyric burrow]

2k dpi 😭

[hasty breach]

WHY

ARCO

[spice veldt]

i moved it from R cuz i wanted to be able to move right when quelling

[paper lily]

I'm a fucking boomer so I was spoiled with Trinitron crts back in the day

[potent echo]

I need an OLED monitor

[hasty breach]

thats what D and E are for O.O

R is a different letter

[lyric burrow]

i can reccomend highly

[spice veldt]

i could move my middle finger to [R] instead but it's a bit much and i might as well change it

[hasty breach]

DO YOU NOT USE WASD

my boi

[potent echo]

I know a friend with an ultra wide

[spice veldt]

i use WASD yeah

[lyric burrow]

Although make sure to do some research on not burning them in

[spice veldt]

i'm only mildly deranged

[hasty breach]

OH you want your right finger

ok thats valid

[spice veldt]

ye

[hasty breach]

its still deranged

[supple dock]

Just...just slide first wtf

[lyric burrow]

I feel like an idiot when i leave my monitor on and go eat something cause im like god damn it

[potent echo]

I can only dodge left and back while venting 😔

[lyric burrow]

Never for super long at least and it does dim itself

[spice veldt]

mostly when quelling and having to do a right-movement input for a dodge

[supple dock]

SLIDE FIRST

THEN QUELL

(I favor left too)

[spice veldt]

and i don't want to burn my dodges on blitzes/staffs with dodge-slides since their dodges are somewhat below average

[lyric burrow]

I advocate for both but its not cheap

[potent echo]

Yea I mean ultrawide oled

He's crazy

[supple dock]

Yeah I have to remember not everyone is in the habit of swapping to melee for movement speed boost, swapping to staff to quell while sliding and then immeditely going back to melee so I don't really worry about the dodges

[lyric burrow]

Yeah its very much worth the cost

[spice veldt]

i'm usually at the front and near enemies

and i dislike running away

[lyric burrow]

Esp now that anti burn in tech is decent

[spice veldt]

and kiting in general, so dodging is my only option to stay in a fight

[potent echo]

Yea he used it for close to a year no issue

Even though he mainly just watches streams

[supple dock]

The only time I run away is when I'm ahead of the pack, bound a corner and there's 12 shotgunners, or 6 gunners, 4 shotgunners, and 15 shooters behind cover

Then I back the fuck up SO quickly

[lyric burrow]

It is a good content consumption monitor

[potent echo]

For sure

[lyric burrow]

Although idk if id spend 900+ for just watching stuff lol

[warm oasis]

Just Maleum Monstorous left then I’ve finished all Psyker penances.

[potent echo]

Single lifestyle

[lyric burrow]

Fair

If he can afford it then might as well

[supple dock]

I did it by grabbing a random PUG on this discord, we had a shield ogryn, and I was like MMM??? and they were like MMMM? then I BB'd it to death

[lyric burrow]

I didnt even intend to buy a qd oled, i was shopping nice IPS monitors and quickly went down a rabbit hole

[spice veldt]

the true black of oleds is pretty appealing to me

[potent echo]

Mmmm

[lyric burrow]

Dude its like the monitors off

[spice veldt]

cuz i always use dark mode anyways, so i might as well just finally buy oled for dark mode to actually save power

[supple dock]

To be honest? If you spent a significant amount of time doing something you should get high quality stuff for it

[potent echo]

Does it really save power tho

[paper lily]

make sure ur getting value for money

[spice veldt]

yeah, since the pixels are actually off

[paper lily]

i recommend starting at a fucking proper office chair

[lyric burrow]

Yeah i spent 900 something dollars on the monitor cause i knew id make use of it

[supple dock]

There are 2 things in this world you never skimp out on

[paper lily]

all these dumb racer chairs

[potent echo]

Perhaps

[spice veldt]

unlike LCD where the backlight is always blasting and the screen being dark is just the display thingy blocking the light

[paper lily]

hope they burn in a fire

[supple dock]

Your shoes and your bed

[warm oasis]

Probably try to do that myself, not tonight though since I have work tomorrow

[potent echo]

Idk I'm the weirdest man I sat in secret lab for 6 years and I'm fine

[supple dock]

yee, I treated it as a moment of opportunity rather than a dedicated goal

much less frustrating

[spice veldt]

i do have an oled screen on my phone and it is looking nice

[paper lily]

heres how my game looks in dt btw

https://i.imgur.com/V42XdKS.jpeg

[potent echo]

Watching YouTube on phone is a much better experience

[spice veldt]

maybe not nice to the point where i'd shell out some money for it, but when my monitors expire, it'll prob be what i buy if it's still the dominant tech

[paper lily]

had ppl flame my ui but bro the monitor is huge 😭

[spice veldt]

gawd damn

[supple dock]

this is...awful

[spice veldt]

i dislike the mobile experience just because of the typing and multitasking

[supple dock]

i want it

[potent echo]

🐟

[supple dock]

swype dawg

[paper lily]

game looks really nice in ultrawide

[supple dock]

I bet it does

[spice veldt]

it's more tolerable on a tablet where i can justify using an addon that gives me browser tabs and where i have a bluetooth keyboard hooked up to it at all times

[paper lily]

ngl surprised at the performance too

[lyric burrow]

I will say i reccomend having 2 monitors if you get oled

One for work/static image shit

[supple dock]

you can just stop after "2 monitors"

[lyric burrow]

Not oled

[potent echo]

Two OLED

Twoled

[supple dock]

Dude I bought a $400 monitor like 3 months ago

[potent echo]

I want to have 2 monitors honestly

[supple dock]

now I'm on this shitty laptop monitor

Hate this

[lyric burrow]

I swear my game ran better after getting qd oled

[supple dock]

okay it's not shitty

It's 144 hz

but it's SO TINY

[spice veldt]

i yoinked two monitors from my brother after some certain events so i got them for practically free

[paper lily]

yea idk about that one

[potent echo]

I guess the motion just looks so much better

[lyric burrow]

Granted it helps qd oled just looks nice + it was higher refresh rate

The response time is also insane

[paper lily]

the sheer scale of shit is just cool w/ ultrawide

https://i.imgur.com/Efsx746.jpeg

[spice veldt]

i do wish that darktide had the option for a halo-like crosshair that was 2/3rds down the screen instead of being centered

[lethal lagoon]

If anyone plans on playing Ghosts, you should know the multiplayer is basically samurai horde ~~shooter ~~meleer

[spice veldt]

since there's quite some environment above

[potent echo]

It's out alr?

[paper lily]

i've unironically walked through maps with spawns off to just admire the work put into some of the maps

[lethal lagoon]

A lot like mass effect 3 multi without the micros

yeah

[lyric burrow]

The maps are crazy

[paper lily]

shame some of the areas are just crammed as fuck with enemies you can't stop n look

[lethal lagoon]

I care more about convincing sony to put bloodborne and demon souls on PC.

To me the issue with HD2 was bait and switch

I don't care about this.

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

Bloodborne PC is the emergency break glass thing but they still ain't doing it 💀

[lyric burrow]

One day it wont be 30 fps

[spice veldt]

simply never play bloodborne and never have the want for it to be on pC

[lethal lagoon]

I wonder if they have a tracker that determines how quickly bloodborne is bought and installed after a Ps4/5 is turned on for the first time.

[potent echo]

Isn't elden ring still stuck at 60

[lethal lagoon]

I just want bloodborne mods

no

[potent echo]

Did they finally

[lethal lagoon]

The problem for a lot of people is elden ring has never been stuck at 60

[lyric burrow]

Did you play any of the from games

[lethal lagoon]

you have to manually sitck it

[spice veldt]

nah i've never played them

[lyric burrow]

Sad

[spice veldt]

well i did buy ds3 but decided that it wasn't for me

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

Idk after playing elden ring I'm gonna start calling Miyazaki a hack fraud

[lyric burrow]

One day ill get you guys to join me in challenge runs

[spice veldt]

you psychopath

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

Exploration and roleplay is cool but

The combat is just bad

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

I don't want to play a tap dodge at the right time game

😴

[lethal lagoon]

You can beat the game without dodging

[lyric burrow]

I havent even told you what im doing

[potent echo]

Yea I'm not doing that either

[spice veldt]

i saw "10 hours" once in a sentence related to elden ring

that was all i needed to know

[supple dock]

Wait what challenge run

[potent echo]

If I wanted a real action game I'll go play monster hunter

Or nioh

[supple dock]

oh FS games

I stopped playing elden ring because of sweaty hands. Bodies... 😩

[lethal lagoon]

It's why old men dying during sex is so common.

Even if they aren't doing anything

[spice veldt]

a level 1 no-weapons ironman sounds insane to me

[lyric burrow]

Im using weapons

Fist only deathless all bosses in a rando is p much impossible

The bare fist only run is separate

[supple dock]

https://tenor.com/bqD6Q.gif

[spice veldt]

o

[lyric burrow]

Im doing 2 at once to keep it fresh

Cause fist only is one hour - 6 hour boss fights

[lethal lagoon]

Souls games are actually just knowledge games. They are actually pretty chill if you google shit. I generally won't for a first playthrough, but I don't fault people for doing it.

[supple dock]

sounds unhinged

[lyric burrow]

It is

[lethal lagoon]

Every boss has mechanics and weapons that trivilize them.

[lyric burrow]

5 hour fire giant for one attempt 🙂

[spice veldt]

so you admit that it unhinged to them but not to me

[supple dock]

Yeah. The journey of discovery and tactics is the fun part about those games

[lyric burrow]

I didnt say it wasnt

I said you assumed

[spice veldt]

sick bastard

[lethal lagoon]

True. But googling stuff for your first souls game is a great way to get into the series.

[lyric burrow]

You happened to be right for once

[lethal lagoon]

Sometimes the wall is just too high

[strong gulch]

A slight amount of stress make me sweat a ton. Makes holding a controller difficult.

[supple dock]

I agree and disagree

[spice veldt]

i'm always right

[lyric burrow]

I dont mind if people google

Still gotta learn the bosses and whatnot

[spice veldt]

i'm an optimal gamer so you know i'm googling

[supple dock]

I think you should complete your first run blind

Then after that google away

[spice veldt]

i'm the type of person that would never play a jrpg without a guide next to me

[lyric burrow]

I can't blame them for not wanting to navigate fromsofts abysmal quest system

[supple dock]

Don't get me started on the Breath of Fire series

[lyric burrow]

You should 100% ffx-2

[supple dock]

Shit is obtuse af

[spice veldt]

also sounds deranged

[lethal lagoon]

First blind run for a game, sure. First run blind for your first ever souls game, majority just won't beat it.

[supple dock]

Getting Ryu all his dragon powers lmao

you're not figuring that shit out without help

[lyric burrow]

Its a 100% so strict if you werent glued to a guide youd never get it

[lethal lagoon]

[spice veldt]

and yet you recommended it to me

[lyric burrow]

And you still might mess it up

[spice veldt]

a showcase of yoshi's cruelty

[supple dock]

If you don't have friends getting you into it I agree

[lyric burrow]

Well sounds perfect for you

[spice veldt]

WOW

[supple dock]

If you have friends getting you into it, let them guide you imo

They're gonna be wrong in most cases anyways

[lethal lagoon]

Curated guiding is a great point actually

Tips that won't ruin the experience.

[supple dock]

mmhm!

"man I feel so weak wtf"

"oh, do you like greatswords? go find the moonlight greatsword"

bam you now have a weapon you can complete the game with and explore without worry

[lyric burrow]

The absurdity of some ER builds is actually wild

[lethal lagoon]

Go do one of the games longest questlines for a weapon that requires beating one of the hardest bosses

easy peasy

[lyric burrow]

Idk if astel is one of the hardest bosses honestly but he is difficult

[lethal lagoon]

Radhan?

Pre nerf anyways, still one of the hardest if you aren't overleveled though

[lyric burrow]

Yeah he can be tough

[lethal lagoon]

I mean I'm always thinking from perspective of unoptimal build

[lyric burrow]

One of the bosses that gave me more trouble

My first playthrough

[potent echo]

Did they nerf the quickstep

[lyric burrow]

Yeah

[lethal lagoon]

Yesish

[potent echo]

After people used it to cheese the feet woman

[lyric burrow]

Idk how good it is now ive literally never used it

[potent echo]

Like me

[lyric burrow]

Although the meta revolves more around just grabbing star fists and 2 shotting everything now

[potent echo]

It also helps you get through swamps and stuff

[lethal lagoon]

187 after beating malenia. Now I'm with you, I'm jealous lmao.

[potent echo]

Moonlight greatsword in DT now

[coral hare]

Hey, any good psyker wants to help with auric storm survivor penance ?

[supple dock]

IT WAS AN EXAMPLE

[lyric burrow]

Malenia took me longer than i care to admit

[lethal lagoon]

I mean the heartrate thing from earlier

[supple dock]

Nah sorry I'm not good enough

[potent echo]

I only play sedition

[supple dock]

Oooh true

[lethal lagoon]

Unironically, if I played under the pressure of being a good player, I'd probably get barreled in 5 minutes

That's always what happens to me every time I tried to do the stupid no deaths contracts

[lyric burrow]

I will not lie I was terrified playing with arco and josho my first time

[lethal lagoon]

I did get PUB ASS without cheating though, so that made me happy.

[supple dock]

I have learned how to focus without pressure

It's HARD

But I'm good at taking tests because of it

[lethal lagoon]

I'm good at taking tests because I viewed school with complete apathy.

[supple dock]

LMAO TRUE

[lyric burrow]

Competing helped me to play under pressure a bit

[spice veldt]

yeah josho does that to people

[lyric burrow]

Not that way

[spice veldt]

fucked up of him

[lyric burrow]

My ass was so scared of messing up

[lethal lagoon]

True bestie

[spice veldt]

first time i played with josho was with derpy who got sniped 2 times so i didn't have to worry about performing bad

[lyric burrow]

Lmao

Whered derpy go anyway

[spice veldt]

to better pastures
no ideea

seems like he's been helldivers 2 occasionally with the others

not that i would know better than you in that regard

[lyric burrow]

Ah right i did see that

Yeah ive only played a little hd2

[spice veldt]

i just hop into the helldivers 2 channel to see exhillious malding and seething occasionally

[lyric burrow]

Did not grab me

Yeah exhillious is a dedicated man

[spice veldt]

doing the good work

[lyric burrow]

I will return to the adms soon

[spice veldt]

so tragic

[lyric burrow]

Speaking of oled im gonna have to figure out how i wanna do testing now that i cant leave images on screen

Usually i had the game bp calc a normal calculator the table and 45 other things open

Could probably set up a 3rd monitor

[spice veldt]

should make use of virtual desktops if you already don't

[lyric burrow]

I forget about those all the time

[spice veldt]

i have an ahk that lets me do it easily with my left hand

[lyric burrow]

Thankfully my 2 monitors are 68 inches together

[spice veldt]

i have CAPSLOCK + A to go left and CAPSLOCK + S to go right

[lyric burrow]

So i have the room to just window stuff

[spice veldt]

ah right ultrawide gaming

[lyric burrow]

But i should use that for some random extra shit

[clear heath]

do you ever just accidently type in caps cause you're gaming with capslock?

[lyric burrow]

Yes

[spice veldt]

nah, i have capslock AHK'd off as well

[lyric burrow]

I hit it in dt all the time

[south zephyr]

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT

[spice veldt]

oh wait

[clear heath]

i ended up binding my capslock key to f20 and having actual capslock on my fn layer

[spice veldt]

oh yeah i do cuz my capslock is remapped to f14

my capslock has to be activated with winkey + capslock

rebinding capslock is one of the most goated things you can do for keybinds

such a free key on the left that has no (useful) functionality attached to it

[south zephyr]

Some Big Thinkin' right there

[lyric burrow]

I suppose arco can be smart once in blue moon

[spice veldt]

rawr xd

[lyric burrow]

Did you just rawr xd me

Is it 2006

Idk when that was popular

Not 2006 i dont think

[south zephyr]

That means I love you in dinosaur

[spice veldt]

yeah i remember it when i was young

[lyric burrow]

Aw

[supple dock]

[spice veldt]

no, it's a sign of my aggression and that i will tear his body into pieces

[lyric burrow]

❤️

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

Hmmm

So who's down for an all psyker AM game

[lethal lagoon]

I'm going ghost atm

[paper lily]

are u na

[lethal lagoon]

What a cool show btw, they don't make em like the used to.

[supple dock]

yee

[paper lily]

east or west

[supple dock]

...central

[paper lily]

yea but what server do u q

[supple dock]

i queue in whatever is the middleground for everyone

[paper lily]

cuz naeast i get like 100 ping flat west is like chinaping

[supple dock]

I honestly think it shunts me east and west

[paper lily]

i don't think this game has autoselection

[supple dock]

oh

Actually

I'm psure it does! But you CAN choose..

I think.

Ik you can choose

[paper lily]

might pick on first launch

[supple dock]

Whatevs

I get good ping either side

[paper lily]

hated living in central us

[supple dock]

i've only ever lived central

illinois then southeast texas

[paper lily]

i've lived in most of the states east of missouri

and washington

[supple dock]

[paper lily]

texas can be okay

still fuck you level of heat tho

[supple dock]

today's cool at 21C

But we did have a brutal tornado

[paper lily]

here in the eu we're real smart and don't build homes with air ducting or ventilation

[supple dock]

Like my brother had to pull into shelter

[paper lily]

yea where i lived in central had shittons of tornados

[supple dock]

tornadoes in texas is fairly new though

[paper lily]

tbh it hailed pretty regularly i'd always get scared

[supple dock]

Like 5-7 years ago we had an incident here in houston

Where like 7 tornadoes popped up at once

wreacked so much havoc

[paper lily]

tornados dont give a shit

[supple dock]

mmmhm

Brother's gf's family doesn't really know how to deal with tornadoes too much cause no experience

so my brother and I had to give a little education and forewarning

[paper lily]

get in bathtub and cry

[supple dock]

lmao true

And in Texas there's no basements

[paper lily]

same where i lived as well

u were supposed to literally get in bathtub and cry

crying optional

[supple dock]

yep

Cause the bathtub is anchored to the foundation of the house

No windows in bathroom

Nevermind the grenade that is your pocealin toilet

[hasty breach]

thats what you do for nearby gun violence too

[paper lily]

true true

[lethal lagoon]

That's random

I thought everything was bigger in texas

[supple dock]

the ground is not hospitable to basements

[lethal lagoon]

Texas is a lie

[supple dock]

but the ground is hospitable to FREEDOM

...and claymores actually

You can wield live bladed weapons of all sorts here

[lethal lagoon]

Ohio has super strong castle laws

👀

[supple dock]

tbh in Texas if someone robs something of "great value" From you and you're sure you won't be able to get it back unless acted upon now you have every right to kill them from what I understand

[lethal lagoon]

I think that goes with "stand your ground" laws

[supple dock]

It's a little different

If the item is inconsequential then it's illegal

Because at that point you're just looking for a reason to kill someone

Which a lot of gunowners unfortunately do

[lethal lagoon]

Oh avg concealed carrier is absolutely fantaizing bout some shit going down

[supple dock]

Mmmhm

[lethal lagoon]

Wasn't there a store robbery where THREE people shot the robber in texas?

[supple dock]

I remember hearing a court case where a guy was bragging about his draw technique to the interrogators

[lethal lagoon]

They were probably mad at each other for stealing their moment imo

[supple dock]

lmao. There's a saying. An armed society is a polite society

GUYS

[lethal lagoon]

another one for the vaunted Kusu Collection

[supple dock]

wtf the blessings and perks are usable

[lethal lagoon]

Nah tier 3 blessings are so Kusu-core

Fits right in

[supple dock]

LMAO

I said usable

[lethal lagoon]

Anytime I get a bad roll, I'm literally just gonna think "You know who would love this?"

You've given me a mind virus with your terrible dagger

[supple dock]

LMAO

fuck you

my dagger is PRISTINE

IMMACULATE

[lethal lagoon]

Kusu-core is such a wild build

[supple dock]

wtf

[lethal lagoon]

You just make slightly suboptimal choices throughout the whole tree.

I'll show you my Kusu-core EP smite build, one sec.

[supple dock]

I'm about ready to throw hands

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

I'm laughing i hate you

so much

[lethal lagoon]

rename the site to Kusu's Lantern because all the top builds are slightly off.

[supple dock]

MY BUILD IS FINE

[lethal lagoon]

Show your EP smite build

[supple dock]

THIS IS IT

I'll run damage aura if I'm with a psyker that runs CDR

[paper lily]

bruh what is this build 😭

[supple dock]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

There's NOTHING wrong with it

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

I hate you

[lethal lagoon]

Even if I try my hardest, my build is still less kusu-core than yours

[paper lily]

lets see if europe will give me a qp game

[lethal lagoon]

[paper lily]

at 4am

[supple dock]

I don't even know what this MEANS

also fucking GROVEL in the face of my surge

[lethal lagoon]

Kusu-core is a lifestyle, ironically you wouldn't get it.

[lethal lagoon]

ooo 4% crit?

[supple dock]

BRO

[lethal lagoon]

And I mean Surge already has high base crit, so there's diminishing returns

You want two damaging perks

Well you don't.

Because that staff is strong Kusu-core.

Surge's are easier to roll, so the surge has to be pretty decent to be Kusu-core.

[lethal lagoon]

I mean you know you could have linked a literally perfect staff and it wouldn't have mattered

Also I'm saving that image for the Kusu Collection

[supple dock]

MY BUILD??

[supple dock]

Tell me. Right now. WHATS WRONG

[supple dock]

which. WHICH

[lethal lagoon]

When you pet your cat, do you make noises like, Kusu-Kusu?

Honestly I'm kind of jealous of your online handle.

Nice online handles are rare

[supple dock]

naw I say "You and I aren't so different, Mister Bond."

[supple dock]

ty have had since 13

[lethal lagoon]

🪼

[supple dock]

I don't...understand?

[lethal lagoon]

Jelly

[supple dock]

Oh./

Right

Yeah so were the literal dozens of people that added me on discord asking for the tag

[lethal lagoon]

Damn, clean.

[supple dock]

So I joined a voice chat last night. Someone was streaming in strike party 1 right

I come in and say I'm here for the entertainment. So they asked me why I didn't just watch paint dry instead cause that'd be more fun

I responded with "I can't judge paint drying"

[lethal lagoon]

That's so kusu-core

[supple dock]

LMAO SHUT UP

[grand jacinth]

GAWD kusu you’re so edgy 🙄

[supple dock]

WHY

[lethal lagoon]

Using capslock to comedically express your feelings is kusu-core

[grand jacinth]

have you like i don’t know. maybe met you?

[supple dock]

[grand jacinth]

grrrr ):

[lethal lagoon]

You have excellent instincts on when to use capslock

^ my Kusu-core notes.

[supple dock]

[formal hill]

I use caps lock because i don't realize it's on

Then I'm too lazy to retype the sentence

So fuck it

[supple dock]

I use it because I know how to express myself through text without being obnoxious (debatable)

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

[formal hill]

I only exist to be obnoxious

It's all I was my first 26 years of life

(Im 25)

[supple dock]

"I identify as a fucking problem."

[strong gulch]

Causing problems on purpose. Way of the cat.

[supple dock]

PSYKER ONLY

@lethal lagoon Tell me what you'd swap crit chance for on my dagger

[lethal lagoon]

Crits okay, that 20% unyielding and esp tier 3 critical fevor

Kusu-core maxed.

[supple dock]

ooookay

[lethal lagoon]

And that damage?

[supple dock]

LMAO

[lethal lagoon]

That's a core tenant of Kusu

[supple dock]

i'm fucking done

[lethal lagoon]

[lethal lagoon]

You know how japanese use "kuso" to say when something bad happened? Like, damn.
You say Kusu when a weapon has 80% damage.

[potent echo]

Kuso just means 💩

[paper lily]

isn't unyielding good on knife or am i misremembering

[supple dock]

that just means shit

[supple dock]

he's meming on me

[paper lily]

get memed on nerd

[lethal lagoon]

The meme wouldn't work if the dagger was good though.

[supple dock]

lmao

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

WTF ITS FINE

[lethal lagoon]

[paper lily]

lets be real ur not using knife for shit on psyker except running around

[supple dock]

I use it to fight bosses!!!

[potent echo]

Knife kills bosses faster than duelling4

Probably

[lethal lagoon]

I never got ds4 as a anti-boss weapon

Like in a controlled enviroment sure.

But like in a normal game?

meh.

[supple dock]

pretty sure DS4 is mostly anti carapace

[paper lily]

ds4 got long attacks

[potent echo]

Why not

I melee bosses

[paper lily]

u gotta be in elbowing distance to hit shit with knife

[lethal lagoon]

I just feel that there's usually a better option for your time than head poking a boss 99% of the time.

[vagrant onyx]

This is the way

[supple dock]

I tank the bosses lmao

[potent echo]

You always want to hug bosses anyway

[supple dock]

So I'm close

[potent echo]

VT2 gang rise up

[paper lily]

dont really gotta tank with knife anyway

dodge distance just op

[vagrant onyx]

Bosses are huge ammo sponge if you choose to shoot them

[paper lily]

i only played vt1

where temp hp didn't exist

[supple dock]

mostly, but with DH it's nice too

[potent echo]

VT1 probably has the same dodge dancing thing

I assume

[supple dock]

Don't need perfect dodges to survive

[paper lily]

its a hallmark of tide games

but u couldn't make any mistakes

[potent echo]

Sweaty

[paper lily]

busted shit as usual in fs games tho

hagbane was disgusting

[supple dock]

P R I S T I N E

[supple dock]

hagsbane was so good

[paper lily]

i like dying to random stalker volleys too

[potent echo]

No revive speed

[lethal lagoon]

Another for the kusu collection.

[vagrant onyx]

Wow

[supple dock]

literally don't get hit

(i say as I hug the floor)

[paper lily]

stalker volleys are probably the hardest random dmg to avoid

[supple dock]

dude fr

they suck

[potent echo]

If I die, bury me in the sOiL

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like now that we can roll two slots, settling for 15% gunner resist is meh

then agian 3 stamina is kind of rare

[paper lily]

'real' 3 stamina is rare ye

[vagrant onyx]

Do you have to melk for stam 3

[supple dock]

for the first few yes

all the other ones I just got from the shop

[paper lily]

i still don't understand running that many stamina curios on psyker

[supple dock]

I mean it's still like 50% gunner resist which is devastating at 90 toughness

[supple dock]

It's a state of mind

[paper lily]

it makes the core part of psykers stam delay so much weaker 😭

[lethal lagoon]

Skudie infected you.

[supple dock]

it was @abstract arch who poisoned me. she was poisoned by skudie

[paper lily]

u don't even run faster with stam curios

[lethal lagoon]

That's how it goes

[spice veldt]

fov change go brrr

[paper lily]

its just so counterintuitive lol

[supple dock]

Can't run fast anyways with the huge nuts it takes to play +9 stam

[paper lily]

yeah cuz ur nuts are taking a dirtnap around every other corner

[supple dock]

realistically it's a forceful way to make you play better

[paper lily]

idk about that

sounds like cope

[spice veldt]

ds4 is just an absurd well-rounded (in terms of armour types) single-target melee

ds4 heavy

knife stab heavy

[paper lily]

ds4 has faster heavies too

[lethal lagoon]

What if this weapon just did 50% more damage for no reason?
Yes, yes.

[paper lily]

well, i guess push stab

[supple dock]

im ngl I have no idea how to read this

[potent echo]

Does ds4 actually out dps knife

[spice veldt]

rows = 1st, 2nd, 3rd .... target hit

columns = bodyshot, weakspot, critical hit, critical weakspot

[vagrant onyx]

Regular weapont crit weak point crit

[paper lily]

idc about the scoreboard, i'm just saying ur running inefficient curios and tryin to justify it somehow

[spice veldt]

e.g., this says that i do 151.80 damage on a bodyshot to the first target hit

[supple dock]

I simply enjoy it for the reasons I enjoy it, optimal or not.

[potent echo]

It's just their playstyle

[vagrant onyx]

So I run full stamina too because i never put thought into it, what does psyker want ideally

[supple dock]

1 stam curio is more than enough

[potent echo]

Health, toughness

[lethal lagoon]

Taking a screen cap of the ending screen instead of just using the scoreboard history is so Kusu-core.

[paper lily]

ur recovery becomes lower the more stamina u add

[potent echo]

I never took stam on psyker

[spice veldt]

crank base stats up w/ health or toughness

[paper lily]

psyker is incredibly weak with baseline toughness

u lose ur full bar of toughness to 1 stalker volley

[vagrant onyx]

I just mirrored my vet curios of stam, stam Regen, sprint efficiency

[supple dock]

It was a SS I took for a friend earlier cause I was like holy shit the lesser kills

[paper lily]

only reason i would run that on vet is for deadshot i think its called

[lethal lagoon]

Doing favors for friends is so Kusu-core

[supple dock]

wtf

[lethal lagoon]

I don't know, I've lost it

[supple dock]

lmao

[potent echo]

Kusussy

[vagrant onyx]

Pretty much, I'm bolter for life but even then it's just a massive pool to run around with

[paper lily]

but psyker also has incredible toughness regen talents, which obviously mesh well with toughness curios

[supple dock]

ooooh

bro the DS4 is insane lmao

[paper lily]

considering ur stamina regen delay on psyker the extra stamina curios are completely unnecessary except for making kd significantly more efficient (if u take it)

[spice veldt]

yeah, it's a bit...

[supple dock]

i do!

But the stamina regen perks are me just playing and seeing what I like

Haven't used them yet

[spice veldt]

toughness lets you be stupid
https://streamable.com/9xmbhf

[potent echo]

KD is mostly enough for ressing in high pressure situations

[paper lily]

don't think kd confers more benefit beyond 1 stam curio

[spice veldt]

imagine worrying about positioning when i can just get hit by a melee and take a stalker volley

and not take health damage

[supple dock]

it does, it's just halved every time

[spice veldt]

that just how it be

[potent echo]

It does, the more stam you have the better KD is

[abstract arch]

it was actually my destiny friend who introduced me to his all stamina on every character. xd now i run all stam on everyone too

[paper lily]

its really those moments that u would just die without toughness curios

[supple dock]

oh. @lethal lagoon it wasn't even skudie get fucked

[vagrant onyx]

The toughness on warp kill talent worth it?

[lethal lagoon]

Being this petty is so Kusu-core

[spice veldt]

KD scales based on the percentage of stamina damage that the attack would have done

[paper lily]

i don't like it

but i won't call it bad

[abstract arch]

he was a memer. he made every reject look like an npc xD

[potent echo]

It's the best if you run any psyker stuff

[paper lily]

i like encounter agnostic toughness regen

[supple dock]

lmao that's amazing

[spice veldt]

soulstealer is p good

[paper lily]

i always take quietude

[potent echo]

Quietude is better at ranged skirmishes

[supple dock]

every toughness regen talent is amazing except warp expenditure
