[orchid lynx]

if i only could see this gif

[jaunty path]

Downloading cyberpunk

Need something new to play.

[fair bridge]

easy delivery company came out heard that was good

[orchid lynx]

ok i did not want to see that gif

[jaunty path]

I love being a freeloader

[orchid lynx]

hello

[somber stream]

It's a relic

From a.. better time

[orchid lynx]

Hey u didnt even acknowledged me not sleeping at this hour

got used to it?

[somber stream]

I gave

[orchid lynx]

i took

[jaunty path]

Dogshit

[somber stream]

Still, it's best to sleep in a socially acceptable time frame

[jaunty path]

Honestly I like this chat not being filled to the fucking brim with shitty gifs like that

[orchid lynx]

I refuse

[jaunty path]

If I want to post images I'll go to Zealot chat

[somber stream]

I understand

[orchid lynx]

Gifs were fun when thay lasted

[jaunty path]

They were annoying

[somber stream]

All good things must come to an end

[fair bridge]

i blame garut

[orchid lynx]

we all remember the great meme channel stigma

[jaunty path]

Maybe I'm just priviliged

heck

[somber stream]

I wasn't arround during that period lol, when was it

[jaunty path]

I can post stickers...

[orchid lynx]

A bit after the server got created

[somber stream]

Ah, i see

[orchid lynx]

some deneged shit happened

[somber stream]

My first impression when i got the game was "Eww what's this steaming pile of dog shit"

Didn't touch the thing for a year or so

[orchid lynx]

i better do not speak of those times or ill get executed

[orchid lynx]

and look at u now a pillar of the community

[somber stream]

You're funny

[orchid lynx]

that's correct

my point stands

[jaunty path]

I need to like

Write more...

[nocturne bloom]

Me scrolling through my stickers is a 50/50 ban if I misclick

[jaunty path]

I need to specify what makes my race that replaced humanity, different from humanity itself.

and how exactly animals would work..

[orchid lynx]

on the chat or just in general?

[jaunty path]

Yeah I see so lmfao

[jaunty path]

In general frankly

I think It helps to talk about my ideas

then I go "What if someone steals your ideas?"

I already have spoken about them...a lot

lmao

[orchid lynx]

my buddy started crating his own fantasy universe and writing lore about it. I think his dwarfs are insect-like.

[jaunty path]

For now the Race is called The Fibrae.

[orchid lynx]

im helping him with the vampires

[jaunty path]

Noice

[somber stream]

Insect dwarfs? Dang

[jaunty path]

Yea the Fibrae is post humanity after a rock transformed the earth and the rest of the solar system into string

It's not a planet anymore. It's a.....vast spaghetti pile now lol.

I remember the behavior of the string pretty well I think

[orchid lynx]

can u describe them? Im interested.

[jaunty path]

mmm

Red skin, big eyes, uhh

[orchid lynx]

human-shaped?

[jaunty path]

Tbh I've always thought of them looking like Moxie from helluva boss....

[orchid lynx]

or something different?

[jaunty path]

but much taller and non imps.

Who am I kidding they're kinda impy...tails and horns. I just like it.

[orchid lynx]

I am familiar

are thay a complytly new race in the world or are thay somewhat connected to humanity of previous age?

[jaunty path]

Beyond that, I'm not sure if I have much else to say. I can mention their biology is entirely string. but idk how that exactly has an affect on the grander universe! or the stories. I think..

[jaunty path]

I think a good way to say it is that they are Neo Humans.

[orchid lynx]

ok ok

[jaunty path]

Hmm.

Alright so, the Rock is made of matter that turns anything that it comes in contact with into itself, and adds on to its own shape.

It converts, consumes, and adopts some of the consumed materials properties.

It got caught in earths gravity and spread rapidly via the Kessler Effect.

[orchid lynx]

String biology. Interesting idea maby u could implement it in thier construcions and technology if there is such. (I have no idea how advanced thay are)

[jaunty path]

I could...definitely.

What I also want to introduce are aliens.

[elder merlin]

Man, i feel that. If i had the willpower necessary, i'd have been gone long ago

[jaunty path]

See, when the rock has nothing to eat, it contracts and shrinks

and the life within the string basically go into timestop.

Or something else...

[elder merlin]

Raggle fraggle?

[jaunty path]

Outside of that string rock? The world is still going.

[elder merlin]

The hell are you on about? @jaunty path

[jaunty path]

And it finds a new victim one way or another.

brain click

The Fossusians, they're one of the earliest aliens they've assimilated.

[jaunty path]

My writing :p

[somber stream]

A planet that is long and shaped like a spaghetti, this concept was realized by Tsutomu Nihei in his work "Biomega" in 2004

[jaunty path]

HMMM

[somber stream]

Basically earth was terraformed into a mega long line

[orchid lynx]

so do the inhabitans of the rock need to sustain themselfs or the rock does it of them?

[somber stream]

Humanity adapted and evolved into all sort of different forms on different segment of the line

[jaunty path]

That's really cool....it reminds me of Blame! (A manga I'm yet to fucking read :dies:)

[somber stream]

Same artist

Both are so fucking peak

[jaunty path]

Yeah a lot in my head is really unelaborated on and I must work on that.

[orchid lynx]

World building is hard boss. Keep at it

[somber stream]

Yeah it's a bitch to put together

I reccomend a mind-tree

[nocturne flicker]

As long as you're not making a Bethesda ahh world you're doing fine

If you want to see shit worldbuilding, look at Bethesda's games post-Morrowind

[nocturne flicker]

Mind tree? Like a brainstorm?

[orchid lynx]

idk man i kinda like scrolls and fallout

[nocturne flicker]

I like them but their worldbuilding is awful

[misty trench]

world building is easy, takes like 7 days

[somber stream]

The term i use is incorrect, but the idea is close

Branch out and categorize

[nocturne flicker]

No I was just curious if that was another name for smth I'm thinking of. When you draw up a board of ideas and such

We learned some templates for it in school where I'm from

[arctic escarp]

LET THERE BE LIGHT

[somber stream]

Yes, mind map

[nocturne flicker]

🤢🤮

[nocturne flicker]

Yeahhhh

😈

[orchid lynx]

hey guys if Any of you would be willing to borrow me a rib I can make u a gf

[nocturne flicker]

I'd rather eat it

[somber stream]

Would that be incest

[orchid lynx]

Sure whatever buddy

[gilded socket]

Heres to you nicola and bart

[nocturne flicker]

This is the knowledge that I gave Adam and Eve with that fruit

"hey uh, you're siblings btw"

🍎

[somber stream]

"The fuq is a sibling"

[orchid lynx]

we are all related

[gilded socket]

“Why are we here… just to suffer..?”

[jaunty path]

Thnx I rlly appreciate it.

I think I first attempted to explore a few years after covid happened. In a story called Roadkill, where a man was going ona vehicular homicide spree and a detective was trying to hunt him down.

I didn't have the right motivation to keep me going at it tbh.

The wrong motivation.

I think I wrote like a less than a page?

[somber stream]

insert that one deer animated movie scene here

[orchid lynx]

Wow He's just like me

i mean what?

[jaunty path]

But I love making monsters

Can't post it since it's long and sorta graphic

[orchid lynx]

And i like biologically correct vampires

(the magical ones are also cool)

[orchid lynx]

send dm?

[jaunty path]

Sure

[orchid lynx]

[long basin]

Vigilant Autogun in Auric.. damn fine gun

I just wish the iron sights were a little more accurate for being ‘vigilant’

Also, finally got all the relic skulls!

[nocturne bloom]

As ass as they are i can appreciate the devs nodding towards a universal iron sight platform

[long basin]

Fair enough.. those shits are WIDE. And I feel like I have to aim just a hair higher from where I want it to hit

[nocturne bloom]

Id say it being wide is a deliberate choice realistically but then again its a game

[long basin]

True.. only actually matters irl

Popping heads with vigilant autogun though.. dang that’s a feel

Shredding Reapers with 3 headshots

[nocturne bloom]

Now evolve into the helbore lasgun

[long basin]

I.. actually never tried that before

Have a friend who did and said it was mid

[nocturne bloom]

Skill issue

[long basin]

Perhaps

[elder merlin]

Evolve into a pair of gauntlets for ogryn

[long basin]

I was carrying on Auric with Vautogun, I got trapped as last one standing from a trapper I didn’t see in the crowd, and dude who was dead was like. “You need to learn to dodge those if you’re going to play Auric” and leaves before I can formulate a response.. LOL

[shy panther]

Zealot ass response

[long basin]

Sucks because that's the last mission I need to beat on Auric for the mission penances

Spireside 13

Rarest one in circulation lol

Played it once yesterday and was like "wait have I played this one before?"

[gilded socket]

[obtuse oak]

Glad it helped!

[elder merlin]

You people and your shredder grenades

Maybe I should give in and use VOC

[elder merlin]

@long sigil

[long sigil]

me on drinking baja

[somber stream]

Baja blasto

My TWG tea shipment should arrive soon

[elder merlin]

[gilded socket]

Who up metaling they gesr…?

[elder merlin]

Maybe one day

I did download the games on my retroid

[red turret]

Cadia stands!

[prisma cypress]

new dying light is fucking fire

[gilded socket]

Rotund fellow of questionable sexuality @sleek harness

[thick fog]

How about you stop solidify my gear

[elder merlin]

[gilded socket]

Gears dont REALLY NEED to he solid

Such as the case of conposite gears

Butttt

Composite gears fucking suck

And break down in a assembly very quickly

[thick fog]

[gilded socket]

Gears are better made of aloys and or straight up steel or iron

Cast-iron gears are a hit or miss depending on the assembly or system it belongs to

[analog marsh]

Better then the first game?

[thick fog]

From what I heard is mix of both games

Of their best mechanics

[prisma cypress]

First perk you unlock is the dropkick

10/10 game

[analog marsh]

Ah nice.

I just bought the second game the other day since it's meant to be pretty good now after all the patches and was discounted a bunch.

I'll probably get the third game when it gets a nice discount as well.

[elder merlin]

Hmmmm

[elder merlin]

Is it?

[analog marsh]

I mean I only played it for a few hours so far, but seems decent for the little bit I played.

[thick fog]

Maybe we all should die at the light

[orchid skiff]

Stop living

[analog marsh]

yes, become unliving.

[elder merlin]

I plan on it

[ripe tangle]

I just ate Saccottini pasta

at 1 in the morning

[analog marsh]

everyone will become unliving eventually.

[ripe tangle]

they were stuffed with cheese c:

[elder merlin]

What a rebel

[ripe tangle]

spare me the sarcasm, I don’t normally eat at this hour lol

actually I do, but as afterwork food

I don’t normally eat at this hour if I haven’t been working

[elder merlin]

Im just teasin

[thick fog]

You know what they say, only in death does duty end

Until you become a servo skull

[somber stream]

Man i want a ferret

[nocturne flicker]

I eat at any hour.

I'm a big back

[nocturne flicker]

Sup

weird noodle cat activities ensue

[somber stream]

They look so... foldable

And devious

[orchid lynx]

Huh

[somber stream]

Ferrets

[orchid lynx]

Very foldable

[nocturne flicker]

Remember the ferret from barnyard that looks nothing like a ferret?

[ripe tangle]

I love ferrets, I only worry that they often get digestive issues

[somber stream]

It's one of those cartoon that was forbidden by my parents

[nocturne flicker]

Why?!

[somber stream]

"The cover looks wrong"

Mom got me chicken run instead

Which is much better, i think

[ripe tangle]

idea for a gag in a gag-comic

a person from the 1020s, a person from the 2020s, and a person from the 3020s are roommates

the entire premise is that NONE of them can understand eachother even a little bit.

even if they're all technically speaking a form of "English"

[somber stream]

Would make for great sketch

[orchid lynx]

Would love to hand a redbull to a medieval peasant

[somber stream]

We'd look like royalties in their eyes

Now the question is. What would we look like in the eyes of the future brat

[ripe tangle]

I reckon the first one is a Medieval Peasant, the second one is an average joe from today, the third one is a guy who's literally from Space and never even been to Earth before

[ocean widget]

We'd cause the uncanny valley in both of them

Close enough to look human but not close enough to be it

[loud lance]

Pretty sure there would be a small amount of understandability

[somber stream]

I don't think we'd change all that much in term of appearance in a mere 1000 years

[loud lance]

Though it would certainly not be full sentences of understanding

[ocean widget]

We'd presumably change enough to where we wouldn't be recognisable much, you've also got to account for technology and clothing too

[ripe tangle]

I imagine the Medieval Peasant thinks the Modern Person is lazy.

the future guy thinks the Modern Person is a fucking primitive and seems shocked that life isn't somehow dirty and horrible

[somber stream]

Oh yeah! The clothing would be wild

[nocturne flicker]

medieval peasant

[somber stream]

That is, if we don't tread down that ' hardcore minimalism' path

[nocturne flicker]

i won't allow it

don't worry

[ripe tangle]

wdym hardcore minimalism?

[loud lance]

You won't have the choice, minimalism is your future because it is all you will be able to afford

[nocturne flicker]

i won't allow it

[somber stream]

The average folk these day are well dressed. So i wouldn't say peasant

[somber stream]

Plain clothes and shape, no button, no funky colour or spikes

Basically, Uniqlo

[ripe tangle]

too late for that Licht

we're already there -_-

[somber stream]

Yeah i know..

Not that i hate it or anything, but some spice would be nice

[nocturne flicker]

i mean yeah but "looking snappy" in medieval times consisted of your clothes being stained by your own filth most of the time

[ripe tangle]

I remember when I was in Europe, the clothes at C&A was like that

minimalist fashion

I actually kinda liked it in a way

[ocean widget]

you've got to see specific genres for that kinda shit

or go to yarmouth

they've got some decent shirts up there

[nocturne flicker]

i mean buttons are common but outside of big cities i rarely see a lot of flashy colour and spiky clothing

i appreciate it though

[ripe tangle]

imagine in the future, everyone dresses ridiculously

in Cyberpunk people dress like they've lost the ability to use mirrors lol

[nocturne flicker]

one thing i will say is we always lowball the dates for futuristic settings.

it's aggravating

[ripe tangle]

true, we do.

[nocturne flicker]

back to the future 2 was set in 2015 💀

[nocturne flicker]

cyberpunk is good i like it. i love how most people still use normal cars and flying ones are only for corpo cunts

althoughhhh

i wish we could buy one >.<

would be funny

[somber stream]

I bet things will look exactly the same as it currently is, 100 years from now

[nocturne flicker]

you get to ride in one in the corpo background story, which is my usual playthroughs

[ripe tangle]

the flying cars aren't even really cars, just private VTOLs that're more like a drone taxi; and that's 1000% more realistic imo

[somber stream]

That is if we haven’t drown ourselves in the nuclear fire by that point

[nocturne flicker]

exactly

[jaunty path]

Funny you say. I just played cyberpunk for the very first time and one of the first things I did was take off my clothes and kill everyone

Very good game.

I'm looking forward to playing more of it tomorrow

[jaunty path]

(Morning)

[nocturne flicker]

nuclear power is a really good idea, but no corners can EVER be cut. otherwise you get chernobyl and fukushima type shit

[jaunty path]

Chernoboyl must be good because we got stalker

[somber stream]

Fukushima was a natural disaster

[nocturne flicker]

trueeee

[somber stream]

Chernobyl was a man-made one

[jaunty path]

Fukushima was triggered by a tsunami yeah.

[ripe tangle]

as much as I hate to say it.... a Nuclear War wouldn't actually mean the end of humanity, just insaaaaaane civilian casualties.

[nocturne flicker]

i love when my penis flops around while i engage in cyberpsycho activities

[fierce cave]

I'm awake

[nocturne bloom]

I heard

[jaunty path]

INDEEEEEEED

[ripe tangle]

but in limited capacity (as in all the powers not using their entire arsenals at once) a nuclear war wouldn't end humanity...

just make previous warzones unlivable for decades -_-

[jaunty path]

Someday

[nocturne flicker]

yes. but i was more referencing how the waste can spill into the water, which is a risk you need to account for with NPPs. for chernobyl specifically was caused by the soviet government cutting corners. using cheap shit instead of listening to the science

[ripe tangle]

sorry, warzones, plus wherever winds and water take nuclear whatever from the area

[ocean widget]

nah you need mods for that

[ripe tangle]

basically a Nuclear War wouldn't end our race realistically, but all it takes is one and now we have permanent geological problems from it

[jaunty path]

I mean nuclear war must be good. Because we got fallout

[ocean widget]

can run around in your undies but not pure nude

[fierce cave]

What

[nocturne flicker]

i actually don't think one person nuking another would cause a nuclear war in the sense of everyone starts nuking each other. chances are the head of state who did it would doom their OWN nation to being decimated by everyone else

[fierce cave]

What the fuck did I awake to

[nocturne flicker]

oh yeah right i use mods i forgot

[halcyon glen]

Calling sister midnight

[ripe tangle]

it would be a Hiroshima-Nagasaki incident happening it two or more countries at once

[nocturne bloom]

Let me introduce you to the world of mods

[jaunty path]

In cyberpunk?

[blissful kiln]

Cyberpunk is tied with Starfield for the shittiest civilian npcs in videogames

[ripe tangle]

but not all of Japan is currently unlivable...

[fierce cave]

HANK DONT ABBREVIATE CYBERPUNK

[ripe tangle]

just saying

[ocean widget]

ye

[fierce cave]

[ocean widget]

i already know

[jaunty path]

But I've been doing that

[ocean widget]

unfortunately yeah

[jaunty path]

Eh I'll find out

[somber stream]

I like how the French built their nuclear reactor suspiciously close to our border

[nocturne flicker]

i disagree. at least cyberpunk's actually seem to acknowledge you in a way that doesn't make them look like a racist asian caricature. starfield's ARE worse

[nocturne bloom]

Fem player char have undies out of menu

[ripe tangle]

they built them right on the borders of Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy lol

[fierce cave]

Booba tho

[ripe tangle]

like, all of them

[nocturne flicker]

i always go fem body for aesthetics purposes. so i can't say if male bod v does too or not

[somber stream]

And they wonder why people don’t see them as human

[nocturne flicker]

You're German? or?

[somber stream]

That being said, we need them reactors as well

[ocean widget]

"i've got a plan dutch"

[somber stream]

Yes

[nocturne bloom]

They do

[nocturne flicker]

mr kraaabs i have an ideeeaaaaaa

[wooden creek]

Male V also has undies in any situation where thirdperson camera gets active, like photomode or in cars

[nocturne flicker]

huh. if i had a dollar for every time the french built some goofy shit on the german border...

[wooden creek]

I needed mods to try and recreate some of those kinofabino posts where the main character is fully armored except with their cheeks out

[ripe tangle]

tbh, they have a stereotype of being arrogant and believing themselves better than everyone else whilst also accusing everyone else of doing that and people regardless of nationality find that both annoying and condescending.

[nocturne flicker]

i'd prolly be rich idk

[fierce cave]

You'd be a millionaire

The cars they make

[nocturne flicker]

what would you say of italians?

[somber stream]

They do, i’ve had many encounters

[fierce cave]

Padta

Pasda

Pasfa

[nocturne flicker]

yummy 🤤

[fierce cave]

Lasta

Pasta

Pasta

[somber stream]

Italians are cool, but take their cuisine stuff very seriously

[nocturne flicker]

yayyy you did it! gold star!

[somber stream]

I mean i do understand, to a point

[nocturne flicker]

And for good reason.

[ripe tangle]

the sterotype?

that they're loud and friendly until you insult them, then they get REALLY insulted and are immediately ready to fight you over silly things, also that they can be lazy.

[nocturne flicker]

... Yeah, that's about right.

[ripe tangle]

also they're all thought of as great cooks

and take their cuisine very seriously

[nocturne flicker]

You know it!

[ripe tangle]

they're really protective of it

[nocturne flicker]

I mean. Some people on the internet do make a lot of assumptions about it

[blissful kiln]

🤌

[somber stream]

But stereotypes are just that. Stereotype! They said Germans aren’t funni, yet here i am

A full circus

[ripe tangle]

pretty much every Italian I've personally met has been very cool

[nocturne flicker]

like the whole "italians die screaming if you break pasta" when in reality we just prefer not to do it bc we cook the pasta in such large quantities that the pot we use is big enough for the pasta to remain whole

i won't kill someone i care about in a volatile rage bc they didn't want to slowly submerge the pasta

[ripe tangle]

German Stereotypes? uhhh... not sure I want to go there lol

[nocturne flicker]

industrious people. they work hard and they play hard. their humour is hilarious to them, but confusing to foreigners. pfand

[ripe tangle]

yeah pretty much, also a common thing people think of with Germany is that Southern Germany is Oktoberfest, Northern/Western Germany is people who are too serious all the time and business-oriented, lack of humour, and that East Germans are still Commie-Nazis who never culturally gave up being the GDR

[nocturne flicker]

yeah a lot of people aren't aware of how fragmented not only germany but a lot of european nations are

[somber stream]

Yeah, we're on the edge

It's confusing, to say the least

[ripe tangle]

true, even with Italians, Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Sicily, and Sardinia are all VERY different

[nocturne flicker]

like italy is VERY different in the north and south, sicilians and calabrians are basically their own country. sardinia too

[nocturne flicker]

my family came from the north to australia when a certain funny bald man started doing some dicator activities. around 1925

[ripe tangle]

there was a mass-exodus from the country at the time so it makes sense

[nocturne flicker]

yeah to put it that way 😬

[ripe tangle]

pretty much anyone viewed as enemies of the party tried to gtfo as quickly as possible

[nocturne flicker]

it's actually why the sicilian mafia had something of a strong base in the US

bc they started cracking down on the mafia, so a lot of them tried to start back up in the new countries they went to

some came here, some to canada, but most to "la merica"

[ripe tangle]

I'm aware yeah, prior to the 1920s, the Mafia in the US barely existed outside of ethnic neighborhoods in major cities, during that time Mussolini basically declared a war on the Mafia in the Old Country and Booze became illegal in the US, this meant that there was a huge business opportunity for the Mafia in the States.

so yeah, a lot of them came here and just became rich on bootlegger money

and of course, a lot of spilled blood

[nocturne flicker]

oh yeah big time. it's an interesting chapter of history.

[somber stream]

I like how we went from ferret to Italian Mafia in 30 minutes

[nocturne flicker]

interesting chapters of hisory are GREAT except for when you're living in them 😆

[nocturne flicker]

oh yeah we go wild here

[ripe tangle]

true....

[nocturne flicker]

what's the next topic of convo it's gonna be RNG

... wait it's only been thirty minutes? goddamn

[somber stream]

Yeah, yeah.

[ripe tangle]

we can always go back to Helldivers or Femboys or Politics

we like to talk about those three things a lot here for some reason lol

[nocturne flicker]

darktide news 😤

[ripe tangle]

I was saying that in jest

[somber stream]

WHERE THE BLOG AT

[nocturne flicker]

for some reason? we're 40k fans helldivers and femboys are inherent! idk about politics though. i like history but not much politics

[ripe tangle]

fair enough lol

[nocturne flicker]

yeah nah that's just a depressing topic, very divisive. i avoid it if i can

ughhhh

blog tonight baby c'mon

[somber stream]

They're releasing the update on Tuesday, and so far all we've got was 1 teaser and a store delay

[ripe tangle]

I find talking about it to be unprofessional for this reason

[nocturne flicker]

yeah SOMETHING has to be done on monday. today we should have something

[somber stream]

Imagine

A second Pet blog

[nocturne flicker]

with some substantial news of the update alongside it yeah? eye twitch

[somber stream]

You're asking for a lot

[nocturne flicker]

oh no spaghetti dmed me 💀

[somber stream]

💀

[nocturne flicker]

i'm a greedy boy, alright?

[somber stream]

So i see

[nocturne flicker]

okay nvm we just shit talking undertale fans

no spaghetti freak juuust yet

[nocturne flicker]

i mean surely more than one dev blog?

[somber stream]

Look, a trailer

All i'm asking

Shouldn't be hard or out of their reach to execute

[nocturne flicker]

bc we'd need one blog for the vet weapon and maybe the balancing changes, depending on how many there are. those nerf-reworks fatshark HAVE been working on to Duelling Sword and Plasma Gun are LIKELY coming this update but we can't say for sure. all we DO know is the blaze force sword blessing buff (superiority now triggers on specialist kills too instead of just elite kills)

[somber stream]

Likely Monday

[nocturne flicker]

unless fatshark's gonna use those recent expansions to character limits 😉

[obtuse oak]

I'm pretty annoyed at the lack of news now because there are quite a few neat changes in the update I'd like to talk about but nooo

[thick fog]

Hank finally breaking the NDA

[nocturne flicker]

thanks hamk~ 😉

[thick fog]

Thats what we needed to hear

If the shark wont speak, let the playtesters do the job

[somber stream]

Shhhhh

[nocturne flicker]

is zola's ass getting a size buff?

[thick fog]

Hope theres some good QoL though

[nocturne flicker]

(seriously the curvature of my force greatsword's and relic blade's charge metres are more juicy than that pancake)

[obtuse oak]

As I said, I regrettably can't go into specifics because Fatshark can't find the "submit post" button

[astral terrace]

Lmao

[somber stream]

Probably double checking things for the hundredth time. Considering how they've got 3 consecutive fuck ups with their recent patches

[nocturne flicker]

hopefully those infantry lasgun buff ideas (e.g. hot-shot and dumdum blessings, auto fire when you hold trigger down to prevent CTs and RSIs in players' hands, recoil reduction, buffs to the mg xii's/mk ix's dps to match the others' dps) i sent to strawhat last year in november

[nocturne flicker]

zola buttbuffs confirmed thanks hank

😤

[nocturne flicker]

imma be real i was starting to think even you weren't being told about what the update has in it 😭

fatshark been that quiet about it

[obtuse oak]

(jk lol idk what's keeping 'em)

[thick fog]

Theres only one CM now right?

[obtuse oak]

Yea quickpaw was doing VT but is now also gonna do DT

[nocturne flicker]

yeah i was about to say that. that COULD cause things to get a bit scrambled

[thick fog]

They really intend to reveal news and blogs for weeks before update drops including this year for mortis and arbites

[wooden creek]

They're not hiring a new CM, so I'm assuming that spot has actually been filled already

[jaunty path]

Tf? CRINGE

KILL CDREKT OR WHATEVER

Also hi Hank HIll

[tacit geode]

Evidently they've not posted a blog because quickpaw doesn't like us and thinks DT players smell

[obtuse oak]

It's theoretically possible that this indicates they are winding down VT support

[nocturne flicker]

now idk if this is SUPPOSED to be known but i found it on forums so it's kinda public info. buut there's a new CM account on forums named LeFrench with no posts, it was created in like july or something. perhaps a trainee half-CM like strawhat was at first?

[jaunty path]

We're winning..

[nocturne flicker]

king of da chill

[thick fog]

I guess that Quickpaw still getting used to the role of having us the DT community being bunch of freaks

[odd minnow]

the game you guys prob saw a youtuber play is out https://youtu.be/5aSTaVY0J7I?si=QgsjhIc7AWXF2wDh

[thick fog]

No, I am not a human. I am a freak

[wooden creek]

[jaunty path]

This game is so awesome cuz its difficult to determine whos who due to the wonky art style

[orchid skiff]

it's like ur in 40k and everyone's dna is fucked up

[odd minnow]

also try this game while you're at it fellas https://store.steampowered.com/app/3283240/THE_LIFT_Supernatural_Handyman_Simulator/

free demo

if you liked prey 2016 this game got you covered

[jaunty path]

never played prey

[odd minnow]

it has the tactile response of a good stealth game

i very much recommend it since it seems to be passing under the radar right now

[somber stream]

Looks interesting

Kinda slavic, but i see ARs

[jaunty path]

ARs r not slavic?

[somber stream]

Do you see Russian with M4s?

[jaunty path]

I cann imagine them..

[somber stream]

Also yeah, 3 guys from Russia

[odd minnow]

there's no guns in this game

it's not a shooter

[somber stream]

I see a TOZ-34

[odd minnow]

where

[somber stream]

In the trailer you sent

[odd minnow]

oh the first game?

oh yeah

both of these games are slavic lol

i have a soft spot for slavic games

[somber stream]

Same

I was looking forward to Stalker 2

Too bad it's ass, still is

[odd minnow]

meh that's why i stay in indie

[jaunty path]

Weren't most games like stalker indie

like fallout

[odd minnow]

fallout was published by bethesda

oh wait the original?

[jaunty path]

Mhm

Smaller

before they became the giga fucks they are now.

[odd minnow]

no

lol

[little marten]

Sic em Hank

[odd minnow]

bethesda had the elder scrolls

[jaunty path]

Oh

Oh right.

[odd minnow]

they were still giant

[obtuse oak]

The first Fallout games weren't made by Bethesda

[jaunty path]

Remember to donate to ur local mega corporation

[odd minnow]

yeah thats why i asked

[obtuse oak]

But Bethesda was in the process of becoming giant when they bought the license and made Fallout 3

[odd minnow]

but interplay was still a publisher

so not indie

[obtuse oak]

They released it a few years after Oblivion

Oblivion -> Fallout 3 -> Skyrim -> Fallout 4 was a generational run of releases

Too bad they stopped making videogames after that

RIP Bethesda

[jaunty path]

[nocturne bloom]

Mod it in

[odd minnow]

bethesda morphed into their own publisher i think

the dev studio stopped really being used

[obtuse oak]

Bethesda is a publisher and a developer, both owned by Zenimax

The publishing side has stuff like Dishonored and Evil Within

[odd minnow]

and doom

cmon

[obtuse oak]

The developer side spent 8 years making Shartfield

[odd minnow]

mentioning evil within but not doom

see this is why dilara is the only mod i trust

[obtuse oak]

Oh yeah lol I forgot Doom

[nocturne bloom]

Which is owned by Microsoft

[obtuse oak]

True

[jaunty path]

doom 1993 my beloved

doom 2016 looks sus

[odd minnow]

evil within 2 killed me inside

i wish i never played it

[obtuse oak]

And there's a B studio who still makes content for FO76 which is apparently successful enough to survive

[tacit geode]

Dishonored 3 when

[odd minnow]

never under estimate a skin store

[obtuse oak]

Never, Arkane was fucking eviscerated after Redfall

[viscid fable]

https://youtu.be/tIgGi6T91yA?si=rJudzKvT0nwU8hZx

[obtuse oak]

So Dishonored is dead and buried

[tacit geode]

I remember a video made by Alex Jordan (Professional VA) saying he wants dishonored 3 and also wants to be in it

[odd minnow]

it would suck

modern gaming

[obtuse oak]

I didn't even like Dishonored 2. But Dishonored is a masterpiece

[tacit geode]

That was Arkane Austin
Arkane Lyon is making the blade game

[little marten]

Dishonoured was such an insanely good game

[jaunty path]

https://tenor.com/view/psychopomp-psychopomp-gold-pompy-venus-psychopomp-game-gif-9938095436021992947

[tacit geode]

Arkane Lyon were the ones that made the original dishonored

So after blade they could maybe make it

[obtuse oak]

Ah okay good news then

[obtuse oak]

fr

[tacit geode]

Red fall is such an interesting game behind the scenes

[little marten]

Going lethal after the twist only for the boatman to scold me at the end was heartbreaking

[jaunty path]

What if all the NPCs we see in game are secretly gaming servitors

[obtuse oak]

The Outsider is fucking cringe but Dishonored is so extremely stylish that they pull it off anyway

[odd minnow]

one day we'll get a new quake from id

[tacit geode]

Commissioned by Bethesda to be made to make the Microsoft acquisition look more appealing as bethesda were making a live service game but it's entire point was to be cancelled.

And then it wasn't cancelled.

[odd minnow]

you dont like the shadow wizard money twink?

he's the best character

[wooden creek]

Would a Dishonored 3 take place before or after Deathloop?

[obtuse oak]

I don't like his youthful appearance and shitty little voice. They've got whales with magical bones floating through the void and then this extremely un-Eldritch target shopper starts yapping

[jaunty path]

What does a chinese chef say to his wife when he's about to go to work?

[obtuse oak]

But that's my only gripe with the game lol. Otherwise flawless

[inner nimbus]

I have contemplated getting an Outsider's Mark tattoo on my wrist ever since I played Dishonored

[odd minnow]

yeah he's just dave the guy given godly powers. you're supposed to under estimate him since he's literally just a guy

[inner nimbus]

hell, arguably, my first biggest writing project was about the first Dishonored, one of the highest reviewed guides for the game lol

[odd minnow]

he didn't even choose to be sacrificed

[jaunty path]

Someone take...please Im dying aaauuugh I need a medic bag!

[odd minnow]

and now he has to see the end of the world every day

[obtuse oak]

I get what they were going for but it undersells the cosmic horror potential

It's a personal taste thing

[jaunty path]

Was the outsider actually based on the HP story or

[odd minnow]

cosmic horror only works if you have a foothold in reality to relate to!!!

[inner nimbus]

back after playing Knife of Dunwall

I imagined other games set in the universe, each with a unique character marked by the Outsider, each with their own unique feels for powers

two I distinctly remember were

[odd minnow]

everything is based on lovecraft according to who you ask

[obtuse oak]

That's Corvo

[odd minnow]

corvo never talks!!!!

[jaunty path]

My existence is based on lovecraft...

[obtuse oak]

And?

[odd minnow]

he's a non character

he's a blank slate

he's you, the player

[little marten]

My rats did the talking

[inner nimbus]

a basic guard who was set on Daud's gang who got marked, and had to face off against one of his lieutenants, with the whole game playing as a sort of 'survival horror' with far more limited resources or like a 'one shot' gamemode

and, for some reason, a brutal killer, whose powers were all about terrifying people and excelling in combat

I was weird lol

[blissful kiln]

vet nerfs confirmed

holy shit

[odd minnow]

you write his story

[blissful kiln]

finally

[little marten]

Sounds pretty awesome

[inner nimbus]

also Corvo is a badass and giving him the same voice as Garrett was a mistake and I will stand by this

[obtuse oak]

And?? He's a guy with a job and a daughter and a dead lover. He's human enough. The Outsider could've been alien as hell and it would've been way spookier that such An Entity takes An Interest in you, but fuck it we Bhaal

It would've been different, not necessarily better, but I would've liked it more

[inner nimbus]

as buttery as that voice is

[odd minnow]

this is what the shadow over insmouth does to a shogoth

smh

[little marten]

The outsider the kinda guy to tell you he’ll pay you back after school but 3pm floats around and he’s spent the money he owes you on trying to impress the goth girl with a monster energy drink

[jaunty path]

The Outsider is a mf who hasn't been out in a millenia and looks like a literal nightmare

Literally made everyone leave

[amber delta]

Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight

[odd minnow]

the outsider doesn't use rats to solve problems therefore he sucks

[low wharf]

Mfw even the voices in the dt server are telling me to return to f&h2...

[jaunty path]

I'M KILLING YOU

[obtuse oak]

I think Dishonored has a super cool aesthetic with exaggerated character designs and bodily proportions and the really big whales and the steampunk and all that and then the Outsider is super mundane instead of dialed to 11 and it just doesn't hit the spot for me. That's all

[jaunty path]

THE FUNGER

[low wharf]

Update soon

Milo pls

[little marten]

Why wasn’t the outsider 60 rats in trench coat

[jaunty path]

I still need to get through that game

[inner nimbus]

sadly the update stepped on a nail you should've seen and died from sepsis

[jaunty path]

with mods

[inner nimbus]

you have to wait for Funger 3 now

[low wharf]

Fh1 mods are a lot better

[jaunty path]

The game seriously just fsays fuck you holyshit

[obtuse oak]

"heheheh I'm curious to see what you'll do with these powers, heheheh" said Kyle from Logistics

[odd minnow]

has the been proven otherwise?

[little marten]

Ruh roh

[jaunty path]

Hank

did you play funger w mods

[odd minnow]

did you even find the witch scary

i bet you just killed her

you monster

[jaunty path]

I was told funger 2 is a wholesome story where nothing bad happens

[low wharf]

Kinda true

[obtuse oak]

I don't know what this means

[odd minnow]

fear and hunger

[jaunty path]

funger is fear and hunger

[inner nimbus]

which one, there's multiple in the game(s)

[jaunty path]

you could say hear

[obtuse oak]

The Johnny Depp movie?

[jaunty path]

bruh

[obtuse oak]

Oh that's fear and loathing

[low wharf]

Hank missing out smh

[odd minnow]

the one that has a whole story arc if you dont kill her immediately

[jaunty path]

lmfao

[odd minnow]

wrong

[inner nimbus]

Granny Rags?

[odd minnow]

yes

[inner nimbus]

she cool

[obtuse oak]

Hell nah I did her quests

[inner nimbus]

but the moment she wanted to fuck with my boy Slackjaw

[blissful kiln]

the scariest thing about Funger is the game engine

[obtuse oak]

That final boss fight went hard af

[inner nimbus]

it did not for me

time stop

[odd minnow]

well i killed her immediately

because i was 12

[inner nimbus]

much like in Cyberpunk
having the ability to stop time is really, really good

[low wharf]

Lets be honest the fact that games like funger and black souls are made with rpg maker just makes them better

[obtuse oak]

Well yeah sure. But I replayed it a few years ago for ghost/clean hands

[odd minnow]

teleporting is the best one

[low wharf]

Imagine having the game getting carried by ue5 and 30fps

[inner nimbus]

btw speaking of iconic games and their endings

got recommended a song by

was it the Chalkeaters?

Stupendium

[odd minnow]

i eat chalk what about it

[inner nimbus]

which got me reminiscing over Fallout New Vegas

[jaunty path]

Susie Undertale.

[inner nimbus]

I've played a fair bit of that game, but when it came to the ending, for me, well, the House always wins

[jaunty path]

https://tenor.com/view/deltarune-kris-deltarune-susie-deltarune-noelle-deltarune-ishowspeed-gif-10481516553238668546

[inner nimbus]

honestly making Kris do a random backflip and him failing it completely, perhaps intentionally, is 100% in line with Deltarune

[odd minnow]

the game funnels you into independent mojave

[tacit geode]

You know my favourite part of dishonored is people fundamentally misunderstanding high chaos vs low chaos

[obtuse oak]

[odd minnow]

i like NV a lot but the story funnels you hard

[inner nimbus]

for me, in NV, it was a very simple decision

Fallout is a series where democracy has failed

[odd minnow]

you get many chances to kill house

[inner nimbus]

tbf

his fucking security is laughable

[tacit geode]

Did you know if you kill the main targets in dishonored aka the people who you actually are seeking revenge against your chaos value is 12

To get high chaos you need 390

Also canonically Corvo killed literally everyone in the golden cat

[odd minnow]

you have to go out of your way to go NCR or legion

[inner nimbus]

someone going for a jog could get to House

[stuck phoenix]

Throw General Oliver off the damn

[inner nimbus]

not necessarily, he killed everyone he came across until he found Emily

moreso cus he was rushing to make sure she was fine

[odd minnow]

my greatest achievement collection so far is 100% resident evil 7

[tacit geode]

But like you find a 12 year old girl (I don't remember how old she is) in a brothel.

I get it man.

He was scared shitless about what they could have done to his daughter

I think my favourite dishonored detail was Corvo wasn't wasn't meant to be there when the Queen was assassinated.

The first thing that gets said to him is "Corvo! You're home early"

[amber delta]

they kidnapped my daughter? I sleep
they hold her in a brotherl? real shit

[odd minnow]

my fav part of dishonored is how they could fit so much peak in the xbox 360

[jaunty path]

Remember as long as you're the protagonist you are the hero and everything you do is morally good ultimately.

[obtuse oak]

My favourite part is how Corvo's fatherhood of Emily is mostly alluded to in her drawings, that change depending on your Chaos level

[odd minnow]

and these days games can't have 5% of that peak on 300 gb

[obtuse oak]

That kind of storytelling is so peak

But also the level design is really really really good

Much better than in Dishonored 2

[inner nimbus]

also the Heart being Jessamine is alluded to in much the same way

[odd minnow]

it is a crazy long game

it has so much content

and replayability

[obtuse oak]

D1 is a crazy long game?

[odd minnow]

think about all the levels

and how many of them are memorable

(all)

[tacit geode]

I think I replayed dishonored 1 like 12 times

Maybe I should do it again

[odd minnow]

no corvo dont throw sokolov (?) into the river

[tacit geode]

Boyle mansion is peak

[inner nimbus]

Sokolov?

[odd minnow]

forgot his name

[inner nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/mgs-metal-gear-solid-mgs2-metal-gear-solid-2-snake-gif-13225802252216398615

[odd minnow]

the health elixir guy

[obtuse oak]

That's mostly it, I think. It doesn't take super long to play through but you can take your sweet time on each memorable level because the design is very dense

[inner nimbus]

yeah Anton Sokolov iirc

[odd minnow]

wait i got his name right???

[inner nimbus]

indeed you did

[obtuse oak]

Yeah that's him, the inventor

[odd minnow]

i havent played since like 2015

take that, early onset dementia!!

[tacit geode]

Lady Boyles non lethal story is interesting

Like give her to her stalker. Then the writer went "I didn't think of the implications of that" She manipulates him then kills him and steals his fortune

[inner nimbus]

it felt too cruel, I think I'd always thought that killing her was more 'right' as I never saw Corvo doing that

which then, yeah, had me shocked when I read that there was a story about it

[odd minnow]

let's be real, branding the high priest guy was deserved

[blissful kiln]

uhh. I'm glad RPGmaker allowed someone to make these games, but nah, they need remakes on engines that aren't a piece of shit

[tacit geode]

A lot of the non lethals are ironic

Which is appropriate but then there's hers and it's like

[odd minnow]

he deserved way worse than death

[blissful kiln]

UE5 Funger

[tacit geode]

"Where's the irony in this"

[odd minnow]

isn't the last guy the most boring death

you just kinda kill him regardless

[tacit geode]

Religious zealot gets branded a heretic
Twins who run slave mines get sent to them

[blissful kiln]

and then you get to ignore all of it with Blink

[tacit geode]

Admiral havelock?

[odd minnow]

yeah

the last mission

[tacit geode]

He kills himself or tries to kill you and you can non lethal him

[odd minnow]

yeah it's kinda underwhelming

[tacit geode]

Yeah
He did poison the other two for you though

[inner nimbus]

runs at 20 FPS

[blissful kiln]

technically more fps than RPGmaker

[obtuse oak]

No you don't. You use it with Blink. The amount of ledges and entrances and chandeliers and partitions and walls and rooftops and yadda yadda that are just within reach

[inner nimbus]

and Borderlands 4

[obtuse oak]

Is amazing

[blissful kiln]

I disagree

I found Dishonored to be painfully easy on the hardest difficulty

[inner nimbus]

I love Borderlands 4 but good fucking god the performance

[obtuse oak]

The way it makes you feel like you're outsmarting the level design but you're just playing to its strengths is so good

[blissful kiln]

because Blink just completely breaks the game

[inner nimbus]

DLSS shouldn't be a permanent requirement to have your game run

[blissful kiln]

you don't have to think about how to get from a to b - you just blink

[odd minnow]

playing the game on full aggressive mode is the hardest challenge

no stealth

corvo the badass

[blissful kiln]

I want to try playing it without powers

[odd minnow]

leave your cell and immediately start problems

i dont want peace

[blissful kiln]

I know you can in Dishonored 2, it's an intended path

not sure about D1

[inner nimbus]

ah, a Mostly Flesh and Steel playthrough

no in D1 you're always branded

and always have at least the basic blink

in fact you can complete the entire game with just that

[blissful kiln]

yeah, but does the game force you to use blink at any point?

[tacit geode]

I remember the riddle puzzle in dishonored 2 I had so much fun figuring that out

[odd minnow]

i like how dishonored's combat is good even though it's a stealth game

[inner nimbus]

force? I mean no not really

[tacit geode]

To realise that you can just save, get the combination, then load.

[blissful kiln]

I know because I did xdd

Blink is stupidly overpowered

[odd minnow]

best ability

most useful

[obtuse oak]

I think the game being designed in such a way that it's completable with just Blink and nothing else isn't a flaw at all

[blissful kiln]

I disagree, because of just how overpowered and braindead blink is

it's a bruteforce solution to any stealth problem

[inner nimbus]

I feel like you'd get a really big kick out of the Thief games then

[obtuse oak]

Ghost/clean hands would be a gigantic PITA to the point of unfun without Blink imo

[blissful kiln]

I am a fan of Deus Ex, the original

[odd minnow]

my vision is augmented

[blissful kiln]

I'd like to play Thief games too at some point

[inner nimbus]

chew you havisfaction a singlelicious satisfact to snack that up?

[blissful kiln]

snackalicious

[odd minnow]

what a shame

[obtuse oak]

Thief Deadly Shadows was amazing back when. So fucking atmospheric

[inner nimbus]

I loved that game, despite all its jank

[obtuse oak]

Same

Robbing the Cradle lives rent free in my head

[inner nimbus]

the haunted mansion level was amazing

[obtuse oak]

Best horror segment ever

[inner nimbus]

yep

[blissful kiln]

Arx Fatalis is the best Arcane game, CMV

[inner nimbus]

alongside the Lakeview Hotel from Vampire: the Masquerade

[odd minnow]

dont

ever mention that

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah that puzzle is generated randomly with every playthrough so you can't just look the answer up. Very cool

[nocturne flicker]

Not the best here, but the Morgue segment of BioShock hit me surprisingly hard bc I didn't expect it from the game

[odd minnow]

the steam?

or wait no that's the second game right

there's this wonderful jumpscare in bioshock infinite under the sea

[nocturne flicker]

Nah when you're waist-deep in water in the Morgue

Or knee deep at least it was years ago

But the lights suddenly turn off when you're already halfway down a half in reasonably deep water for the area you're in

[odd minnow]

https://youtu.be/-vnoWbQnKdE?si=6oUV8QXExNdIz6fX

this one terrified me as a kid

[nocturne flicker]

You can't see ANYTHING for... well it probably feels a lot longer than it is in real time

[nocturne flicker]

I hope BioShock 4's good.

Mafia TOC was good so maybe there's a chance

[odd minnow]

oh hohoho

it wont be

[nocturne flicker]

🥺

[odd minnow]

look at the history so far

it's in development hell

[inner nimbus]

one of my favorite horror segments ironically comes from a game I'm very much so indifferent to

the original Halo

[odd minnow]

switching hands everywhere

and nobody wanted to make a fourth game

[obtuse oak]

hmm I dont remember this despite replaying bioshock around the same time as dishonored

[inner nimbus]

like Halo starts off as this almost standard shooty mcshoot game but scifi

and then you get introduced to the Flood

all of a sudden, you're in this level

no enemies, no allies, no Cortana, just silence

[amber delta]

there are no more good games coming out these days, they are all bad we just gaslight ourselves into liking them

[nocturne flicker]

Ohhh yes. Halo 1 was more horror-oriented than its successors for sure.

I liked how ODST went back to the more eerie empty sorta atmosphere. Not the same as Halo 1 but it's not the happy go luckiness Halo 2 had

[inner nimbus]

and you explore, going deeper and deeper in, until you watch the footage you find from that soldier's helmet

[nocturne flicker]

Both are amazing games

[inner nimbus]

and by the time you realize what's going on
you also realize

you're in the middle of their lair

[odd minnow]

bioshock games always had random horror segments

in 2 there was the steam room

in infinite there was the silent kids

[nocturne flicker]

The Flood segment of Halo 1 was straight up horror idc who tells me otherwise

[obtuse oak]

i love this trope. the alien ship level in crysis does the same thing to an extent. wasnt very scary but i enjoyed the gameplay and tone switchup

[nocturne flicker]

Another decent horror segment in a non-horror was the bunker in Uncharted 1

[amber delta]

crysis was such a fun first half of a game

and then it shat the bed

[odd minnow]

people hate me for liking crysis 2

[blazing hawk]

"Oh boy I need to do a lot of martyrs skull hunting to get my BLUE armour"

The random fucking 50 penance points penance that is not at all related to the martyrs skulls:

[dull violet]

only crysis iv played is 3

[blissful kiln]

it's fun until you start fighting the aliens

[dull violet]

was short

[blazing hawk]

I'm blue now

[odd minnow]

my name is prophet, remember me

[blazing hawk]

Because of Mission Improbable

[obtuse oak]

smh the crysis aliens were cool and you cant convince me otherwise

[odd minnow]

me and my friend still quote that

because it's a dumb quote

alcatraz is just like who tf is prophet

[nocturne flicker]

like this came out of f*cking NOWHERE. rest of the game has you fighting indonesian pirates and other treasure hunters, then you get stuck in this dark abandoned bunker with fucking skinwalkers. nothing but you, them and the creepy ass location

[blazing hawk]

Why dint we have colour roles

I want to be blue

[nocturne flicker]

make it clap

[blazing hawk]

I'm blue

[odd minnow]

we must find gould

[nocturne flicker]

m u s h r o o m

[odd minnow]

idk who gould is but we gotta find him

[tacit geode]

He's blue for an amazing reason

before this convo ends i gotta remind you of the best alarm ever made

https://youtu.be/wmCb8gHDP3A?si=6VpLxPCR8KJhRRvQ

the sound of victory

[somber stream]

Nice

I have this as my morning alarm:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdR-8Ne5x8w

It's so annoying, super effective

[odd minnow]

i would actually prefer sandpaper on my nuts

[somber stream]

It used to be a Soviet Anthem sung by a Loli

But i grew used to it so i slept through the entire thing instead

[odd minnow]

it's always the classic apple alarm sound for me

when people use it in videos i feel like waking up from reality

[somber stream]

I think i know what you're referring to

[odd minnow]

https://youtu.be/48qVYSDur-k?si=j3hBEMq0vjrWdENV

the worst one

[somber stream]

Oh i got used to this one as well

The only ones waking up are my neighbors

[odd minnow]

i can't manage

my problem is i wake up, get up and turn off the alarm then fall back asleep

i need like a taser

and pepper spray

[silver falcon]

it's not ogrynver yet sah

[jaunty path]

Normal Friday.

[little marten]

Ahhhhhh!!! I’m suffering help me I’ve got the no blog fever!!! Ahhhh!!!

[round mica]

Was there a shop reset or is it happening on the update

[wooden creek]

Update slopshopdrop

[round mica]

🙏

[weak beacon]

Darktide update? Impossible

[somber stream]

Only tears and regrets

Kojimbo please port DS2 to PC

[little marten]

Dark souls 2 is already on pc 😈

[somber stream]

No way!

[peak falcon]

I can unfortunately attest to this. It's on steam.

[little marten]

The best souls game of all time transcends platforms

[peak falcon]

Worst*

[somber stream]

It's certainly is something

[weak beacon]

My favorite is DS3

[peak falcon]

It's only the best if you like PvP

[ocean widget]

unfortunately its still stuck on the playstation

[somber stream]

The frames yearn to be liberated

[weak beacon]

Precious 30 frames

[blissful kiln]

I know Elden Ring is technically not a souls game...

[tacit geode]

Doesn't matter darktide general chat because armored core is better than all of them

[weak beacon]

Blessed be capped framerate

[blissful kiln]

no cap

[peak falcon]

Ah, I can't show the picture of dark souls 2 being on steam in my library.

I mean, I can, but it would have to be in like, driptide or something

[somber stream]

Post in Zealot

All sort of things go there

[peak falcon]

There you go

It's there

[nocturne flicker]

fallout 4 no frame rate cap on non-potato pc moment (very bad)

[peak falcon]

Played elden ring for 100 hours, got bored because I still wasn't done with it.

[little marten]

All I see is a bunch of wimps who got filtered by ruin sentinels

[blissful kiln]

I got bored much earlier

they took a good souls game and diluted it with Ubisoft open world

20% of ER is great. the rest is garbage

you see more garbage than great

[peak falcon]

I mean, at least hybrid faith builds are still viable, so that's why I was even playing as long as I was.

[amber delta]

its funny because people drooled over ER open world for being so good and unique while in reality its the same shit as in every ubisoft game except you dont have POI markers on the map

[civic otter]

DS3, Sekiro, Bloodborne in that order. If BB didn't suffer from so many technical issues it'd be 2nd

ER i do not like much

[blissful kiln]

it may not have markers, but it does have ubisoft towers and outposts

[analog marsh]

I hate the copy paste bosses in ER.

[nocturne flicker]

i liked it for the sake of it adding a unique FLAVOUR to elden ring in the sense that it wasn't just dark souls 4. if they dropped a dark souls 4 and made it open world like that? ehhh idk if ppl woulda liked it as much

[blissful kiln]

oh yes, how do you like 27 vanguard\asylum demons in the what 5th souls game by now?

eggs dee

[nocturne flicker]

and exploring around on my funny double jump horsey was cute

like i wouldn't want it in dark souls 4, but if it's its own game i don't see an issue with it having an open world

[amber delta]

in DS1 we used to complain about asylum demon being reskinned 3 times, in ER we see pumpkin head go from normal enemy to rehashed boss 10 times and we can't say anything

[quick pendant]

🚬 update should have been today so we could play on the weekend

[blissful kiln]

keep the open world, but don't fill it with trash. all you get for exploration in ER is another copypasted dungeon with a copypasted boss and a some useless reward

[tacit geode]

It should be next Friday so we can play it next weekend

[quick pendant]

unironically better than a fucking tuesday

[amber delta]

ER world couldve been 10 times smaller and it would make for a much better gamee

[quick pendant]

who does anything on tuesday

[nocturne flicker]

like the issue with a lot of games these days is they don't know how to split IPs when they should. like infinite warfare being a cod game, for example. many more like that.

[quick pendant]

i have class from 8 til 6 on tuesday bruh

[amber delta]

no I do not care that I can look at big vistas and travel through them, the travel part makes me sleep

[nocturne flicker]

i go back to work on tuesdays lmao. they couldn't have even given me monday fucking night bruh

i suppose it's fine though i work early enough where i'm home by midday so

[blissful kiln]

darktide is dead

[peak falcon]

It has blood splatters and damage numbers. That's hit marker enough.

[nocturne flicker]

but it also means i go to bed at like 12 so there's a chance the update'll drop when bed time rings. f*ck it, i've done this shift on two hours' sleep before i can do it again

🚬 strawhat (may she rest with the emperor) "nooo we totally do weekends :3"

[analog marsh]

Could of been the first area, but compressed with all the other shit via portals or something.

[nocturne flicker]

i miss stawhat. literally only CM to ever DM me asking for my feedback and thoughts on darktide updates

stawhat was fren 😔

[analog marsh]

Yeah CM's be dropping like flies lately.

[amber delta]

strawhat was goated we did not know how good we had it
