heres a good old question

yeah they've literally got the boys characters

agile raven
#

But if they straight up partner, it won't be in this decade.

dapper trench
#

Do you think video games cause violence?

#

like irl

#

also alucard and lara croft for some reason

Also shoutout to giving one of the characters a H&K USP.

If it wasn't a video game, it could have been a movie. If not a movie, TV show. Not TV show, just some random ass tiktok

people got killed over videogame arguments

ocean widget
#

almost like those people arent mentally well

blissful kiln
#

but it has nothing to do with the actual content of the game

dapper trench
#

but thats a argument

#

exactly

blazing ibex
#

Yep. People are just crazy and will find a reason to do something.

ocean widget
#

videogames cause violence is just an excuse used by people who dont want to bother looking deeper

blissful kiln
#

well the question was "do games cause violence"
yeah, if they can make you really angry

#

which they can

#

violence can also be lashing out at your spouse

dapper trench
#

Or beating your dog

blissful kiln
#

which is more realistic and I bet is pretty common (comparatively)

dapper trench
#

it is

I unironically enjoyed CoD:WW2 despite its issues

#

the war game mode was fun as hell

dapper trench
blazing ibex
#

Like if a video game really made someone resort to violence, is it really the video game or is it actually that the person already had a short fuse and the video game was a catalyst for them to just say "fuck it"

#

Because that catalyst wouldn't have to be a video game. It could be anything.

misty trench
agile raven
#

My biggest gripe with WW2 was how horribly monetized it was and also the lack of historical authenticity.

#

Also

#

I could just play WaW.

#

And get a more captivating experience.

blazing ibex
#

WW2 was okay after the overhaul

agile raven
#

Oh absolutely, but it doesn't mean WW2 didn't have severe problems.

blazing ibex
#

Which on the note of CoD

#

Who's excited for Black Ops 7

#

Wooooooo

#

CoD is back. Or something.

#

They're listening guys

#

They're not gonna do carry forward

So that they can then sell more goofy skins after

WaW is very... visceral.

like if a video game is what a person uses to justify their dogshit emotional regulation that's on them, not the game

WaW leaves one humbled.

dapper trench

#

Yes. You can argue some games are better than others at being that catalyst but you can argue that for literally any kind of media.

blissful kiln
#

no, not any kind of media

mystic jackal
#

mfw 2010 era polticial talking point

blissful kiln
#

A movie is never going to be as rage inducing as playing a match of Dota or LoL

dapper trench
#

Kakuzu from Narutos VA passed away

blissful kiln
#

sure, it's on you to deal with that rage and control yourself

mystic jackal
little marten
#

LoL breeds penal battalion mentality let not lie

#

same with Fifa

blissful kiln
#

but arguing that games don't push you hard towards rage and therefore violence?

#

nah

misty trench
#

I mean they don't, there's leaps and bounds between getting tilted and getting violent

blissful kiln
mystic jackal
#

you are just a terrible person if you believe getting mad at video games is a justification to commit violences

blissful kiln
#

people never beat their wives or their children or start bar fights or beat up homeless people

#

because of their problems

rage ≠ violence

why are you telling me this?

I'm not calling for banning videogames

Not that I think video games cause violence but to play devils advocate

blazing ibex
mystic jackal
little marten
#

I’m not sure that phrasing is correct

blazing ibex
#

If a person really committed violence because of a video game, that person was already a risk to begin with.

dapper trench

blazing ibex
#

And anything could have tipped them over the edge.

misty trench
#

yeah tbf he's not saying it's a justification

he's simply misunderstanding how causation works imo

mystic jackal
#

my apologies then

I am not justifying anything and I'm not misunderstanding anything either

like road rage exists but that doesn't mean roads are a cause of violence right

#

What about people that rage at a game and punch holes in walls break TVs / controllers? Is that not ‘violence’

#

I guess if we're going by the literal definition of violence even pertaining to objects, then I suppose yes. Video games can cause violence. But I think we can gather that we're not talking just, throwing a controller or breaking a wall.

weak beacon
#

Why not just don’t do things that make you mad if they aren’t important?

misty trench
weak beacon
#

Exactly

blissful kiln
#

and yes, technically, driving can cause someone to break and lead to violence

little marten
#

I think I diluted the topic by not reading the initial remarks my bad

jaunty path
#

Violent video games do not turn people violent, it's a lot more things like emotional neglect and what not. for some it can be very calming.

Things like a failed exam or some other personal issue can lead someone to getting physically violent.

mystic jackal
dapper trench
misty trench
#

right but boiling it down to say, roads being the cause, would ignore the external myriad factors that contributed to it

little marten
#

It’s also just a scapegoat because people can’t handle the fact that some people are simply predisposed to violent tendencies.. because there’s always gotta be something else to blame I guess

tawny grail

#

Over reliance on cars for transportation and the adding of more lanes to a highway does contribute heavily to road rage imo but of course the mental aspect is also to be taken into account.

mystic jackal
blissful kiln
#

there are always multiple factors at play

blazing ibex
#

See. Like, you can argue that games can be a catalyst.

Sitting in the vehicle, nothing changing, geting bore, getting impatient, etc.

#

Shit can make you restless.

little marten
jaunty path
#

and a lot of people should not have a drivers license.

blazing ibex
#

But to say that video games can inherently cause someone to resort to violence is a flawed statement imho

and cars are one of the leading causes of death in the united states.

bullying is SO BAD in schools

that some kids bring actual weapons/guns to protect themselves

but noooo Video games ARE the problem right?

But usually it's more nuanced with and is incredibly subjective with how people react to different games lol

Philosophical hours in the darktide general chat today

weak beacon
#

Video game bad or something

little marten
#

I mean video games can definitely contribute to the pushing peoples emotions to their threshold but it’s ultimately the individuals thresholds that are the issue not the games

jaunty path
#

Is it to fart or not to fart

blissful kiln
misty trench
#

like violence is typically always a big picture thing, we know alcohol fueled violence is a thing because we've got evidence showing that it's an overt contributor because being under the influence often leads people to do shit they normally wouldn't do.

A video game making someone angry could lead someone to get violent but odds are there's a larger factor at play that was the main driver like various irl stressors that we already know are overt contributors such as substance abuse, financial pressure, social and mental health issues etc. etc.

jaunty path
#

I'm master at sociology...

blazing ibex
little marten
#

Rip to people that drinking makes angry

misty trench
#

we could get semantic about the meaning of "cause" but generally speaking most people think of a cause as something that, if you remove it, the violence doesn't happen

there's no evidence this would be the case for video games but we do know for sure that preventing/treating substance abuse or alleviating financial pressures actively do reduce violence

blazing ibex
#

Because that's a sign that the person already wasn't fully there in the head to begin with.

jaunty path
#

Irrelevant subject matter but just banning things like cigarettes and alochol is just gonna bring us back into the prohibition era

#

People need their fix and the law isn't going to stop them

misty trench
#

yeah I would never advocate for banning

#

just education and assistance

weak beacon
#

I personally think that if you play a game that makes you angry almost all the time then maybe you should play something else or just don’t play video games

jaunty path

While both are literal poison, it's not gonna help.

And actually I don’t even think the game makes people angry it’s the other players and their attitudes

I’m personally not a fan of competitive games because of how toxic and rage inducing they can be

I did know a guy that would get crazy angry at League of Legends to the point of slamming his desk and screaming n shit like full on tantrums but he'd keep playing and had a massively inflated sense of ego for his skill (he was like mid plat or something but spent most time stuck in gold due to repeated bans)

thing is this guy was just a hella damaged individual that was actively avoiding help so y'know, not really the game's fault and more just this guy was not getting the help he needed for various reasons

We should work to make the harm known and offer supportive services to recover from addiction

like to give you an idea of just how messed up this dude is, he got a job for the first time in ages and lost it because he literally called up his manager and told him he's not showing up for 2 weeks so he can play the then upcoming WoW expac

Demonizing it and DARE-esque type stuff will only exuberate it.

I stopped playing pvp games because they made me toxic and made me rage a lot it wasn’t healthy so I usually play pve because I enjoy those games more

just flavored and marketed differnetly

blazing ibex
#

There are literal hours of him breaking controllers, punching desks, disintegrating keyboards by slamming on them so hard that all of the keys pop out while screaming how much he hates the game

little marten
#

I don’t drink because it’s cool I drink because it helps peel back a couple layers of social anxiety

low hemlock

And I just have to wonder how one manages to play a game that makes them this angry so frequently.

DARE should've brought ex-convicts who were busted for alcohol and drugs, not the yap fest that it usually was.

It's been okay today.

I want to make my chainsword for vet better

blazing ibex
misty trench
blazing ibex
#

that's your first mistake

lethal solstice
#

Chainsword just isn’t good

#

It’s a one trick

#

That is outperformed in its single truck

weak beacon
#

Bu I like chainswords :(

whole glade
blazing ibex
#

Only class that can make chainsword even worth considering as an actual option is arbitrator

shut pelican
#

Anyone wanna join me on havoc missions ?

lethal solstice
#

Evisc is good

#

But the 1h chainswords only strength is exclusive trash clear

lethal solstice
#

But that’s kinda it

weak beacon
#

This saddens me

misty trench

What about the devil claw sword?

blazing ibex
#

odd

lethal solstice

Also a 1 trick

zenith glade
lethal solstice

You take it for the parry

whole glade
#

hey so i havent played in awhile. TF are mealstrom and havoc missions?

lethal solstice
#

Otherwise it’s just kinda lame

#

Doesn’t excel at anything

weak beacon
#

I mainly use chainswords this sucks 😭

lethal solstice
#

Devils claw also has atrocious all around armor damage

blazing ibex
lethal solstice
#

30% damage to flak on lights

blazing ibex
#

It excels at horde management

lethal solstice
#

You know what else excels at horde management

blazing ibex
#

But that can only do you good for so long

lethal solstice
#

Weapons that actually kill things and do stagger

weak beacon
#

My beloved weapon sucks

blazing ibex
#

And it does have pretty good damage on anything that's flesh but

blissful kiln
#

Hammerblow Devil Claw

blazing ibex

that's really the problem when you have oceans of flak and carapace coming at you

What are some good melee weapons for vet that aren’t the dueling sword

Like wth are mealstrom and havoc?

Hello friends. Anyone know who the voice actor is for the male veteran whose voice of command occasionally screams “GIVE ‘EM THE OLD KASKRKIN DOUBLE TAP”? I can’t find on IMDb.

Havoc is the hard mode that just does everything it can to kill you

havoc

Yes

blazing ibex
#

oh you poor thing

lethal solstice
#

What rank havoc do you play

whole glade
weak beacon
#

I don’t know what’s good and what’s bad in this game man 😭

lethal solstice
#

The information is all here

#

You just need to ask

whole glade
blazing ibex
#

like four options

lethal solstice
#

Not level

#

Havoc is ranked 1-40

blazing ibex
#

that aren't the dueling sword

#

:o

whole glade
#

HUH

weak beacon
#

I meant like earlier

lethal solstice
#

Modifiers are added the further you go like stat increases to enemies and stat decreases to players

#

And the unique modifier Emperor's Fading Light which makes ranged enemies faster and removes Toughness Grace Period

blissful kiln
whole glade
blazing ibex
blissful kiln
#

but feel free to try out Havoc, the early levels are easy

#

good luck finding a team tho

lethal solstice

its in the launcher

But the image for the teaser shows a veteran with a power falchion in their hand

#

In the launcher

dense slate

and its been datamined

lethal solstice
grizzled plover
#

another power melee for veteran instead of the melee class

Fatshark are you high

blazing ibex

And there's also some datamining of a new power sword variant

whole glade
#

when did they add a campaign to this ?

#

im so lost

lethal solstice
#

Veteran has good melee

lethal solstice
grizzled plover

I am aware veteran has good melee

#

I even enjoy veteran melee

mental verge

But like, I feel like power swords are also a zealot thing

whole glade
blazing ibex

#

I’m mainly enjoy playing vet as shooty man more than stabby man

blazing ibex
#

and people have been asking for a power sword that works like the relic blade for vet

grizzled plover
lethal solstice
blazing ibex
#

which this is most likely going to be since it has evidence of a heat mechanic

whole glade
#

is there still gambling in the weapons?

lethal solstice
#

A lot less

whole glade
#

or has that been patched?

lethal solstice
#

All you have to roll for now is good potential stats

dense slate
#

you can upgrade otherwise

lethal solstice
#

and rating for a base no longer matters

whole glade
#

huh

dense slate
#

you can also change perks on weapons/curio and change blessings as well

blazing ibex
#

you can basically turn a weapon into whatever you want assuming you have it mastered and the materials

dense slate
#

(and you can put any max perk on curio instead of being limited)

blazing ibex
#

you don't have to gamble to get the exact blessing and perks you want

grizzled plover
#

And you can switch marks freely

dense slate
#

if your mastery is high enough

I hate purity seals in general they look like toilet paper

grizzled plover

They still haven't made Space Marines actually durable or bolters fun either somehow

whole glade
#

i like them on Black Templars

blissful kiln

My biggest issue with space marine focused games is that they all play like regular FPSs so bolters act like regular old assault rifles

The boltgun in peaktide is the best I've ever seen one

a boltgun should vaporize most targets with 1-2 shots

If a flamer was effective against everything it would be busted

We're fighting nurgle's boys tbh

Flamer should do one million billion damage to infested and unyielding

and then nothing to carapace

It already does that

Why are you guys describing flamer

😭

infested it does

one million damage to unyielding rn

dodge and jump being bound together is just not good and it's a massive noobtrap imo
