[south jetty]

you fucker

[ripe tangle]

I'm glad you know this Aquila, you'd be surprised how many people couldn't give me that answer.

[misty trench]

I'm just glad you're not getting up me for calling them Byzantines instead of Eastern Rome lmao

like ik Eastern Rome is more correct but it's easier to say Byzantines

[ripe tangle]

they're the same thing and I'm not that much of a Pendant,

[vocal hawk]

I have arrived

[south jetty]

pedantics are this discord's thing, except people are usually wrong

[arctic escarp]

why are the goths visiting

[south jetty]

why are they visible?

[misty trench]

they had a lot of bones to pick with the romans

[vocal hawk]

you’d think they’d be….invisible

[astral basin]

Let the goths visit. They bring fashion.

[south jetty]

Invisigoths

[misty trench]

I mean hell, the visigoths had also sacked rome itself lol

[south jetty]

teabagged it too

[misty trench]

Alaric was a gigachad

[ripe tangle]

The Visigoths largely settled in Iberia, the Vandals in North Africa, the Lombards in Italy, the Frankish in France, the Ostrogoths in the Alps, etc. The all had a bone to pick with the Romans and for centuries Western Rome just sorta fell while fighting forever wars with all of them.

Eastern Rome on the other hand was always fighting Forever Wars with both it's self and Persia, then later the Turks and Caliphate.

[misty trench]

Western Rome telling the Romano-British they're leaving because shit back home is bad and britain just isn't that important

[ripe tangle]

the Turks eventually won in the 1500s

there's a reason why Turkey is where it is.

-_-

also for centuries after the Turks were the Caliphate.

which is uhhhh.... interesting.

[misty trench]

Turks started out in Central Asia, converted to Islam and wound up in Persia, then Mesopotamia and then Syria and finally settling in Anatolia yea

[main zephyr]

does the dh still corrupt your healthbar slowly i was fighting one as a arbites early and was at like 149 health cause a stray mauler mid dancing with a demon host

[misty trench]

well not all turks but the Seljuks and various other Oghuz branch turks

[main zephyr]

but i didn't really notice any corruption dmg

[ripe tangle]

the Magyars started out in Central Asia, then went to Russia, then Ukraine, then eventually the middle of Europe, then they all converted to Catholicism.

[main zephyr]

also that new auric mortis penance is a bit to easy imo

[misty trench]

many such cases

[ripe tangle]

most of Western and Eastern Europe were basically Vikings also doing this lol.

[misty trench]

Avars, Cumans etc.

[ripe tangle]

true

even the Pannonian Huns

[misty trench]

the Danelaw my beloved, very cool period

hell before the Huns, Turks and Mongols all showed up a lot of steppe peoples that were in contact with Europe were actually Iranic

like the Scythians and Sarmatians (very fucking cool)

[vocal hawk]

total war reference

[ripe tangle]

also the Kipchaks, Pechenegs, and Tatars

[astral basin]

If the cowboys, samurai, and pirates were all in the same time period

[misty trench]

those are turkics also xD

[vocal hawk]

but not the cumans

[ripe tangle]

yes they are

[somber stream]

History IRL Lore

[astral basin]

I wonder if theres other odd historical mixes

[vocal hawk]

all my homies hate sigismund of Hungary and sir markvart Von aulitz

[misty trench]

the Tartars at least are unique in that they didn't assimilate and instead it went the other way around for the region

[ripe tangle]

when they were the dominant culture in Crimea, didn't the Ottomans use them as sort of a proxy/client state?

[misty trench]

and had a shitload of staying power if you consider the Crimean Khanate lasted until the late 1700s

yeah they were a client state, a lot of "ottoman territory" was measured in vassals

[vocal hawk]

crimean khanate mentioned

[misty trench]

most of ottoman influence in North Africa was the same

the advantage being the Ottomans could just kinda let them do their thing, the downside being a lack of direct control which more centralised empires could exploit

[vocal hawk]

empire total war taught me that the Crimean khanate was goated

[misty trench]

it was very cool

and there's still a Crimean tartar minority living in the area today

[ripe tangle]

the Barbary States, basically a loose confederation built on Slavery that sort of just existed along the North African coast in between the multiple Sultantes of Morocco and the more properly Ottoman Controlled lands of Egypt and the Levant.

keep in mind, we're talking about A LOT of coastline

[vocal hawk]

and then America took their capital with 50 men 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ripe tangle]

it was America's first foreign war, but that didn't really halt the Barbary Slave trade... didn't even put a dent in it.

[astral basin]

2600 calories.wrong time period

[vocal hawk]

but it was super based

[misty trench]

this is also how the French would end up in Algeria (and would have an incredibly hard time doing so)

[vocal hawk]

we didn’t pay off the pirates like other major powers did

[ripe tangle]

interestingly enough, the first foreign monarchy to recognize and try to ally themselves with the United States was actually the Moroccan Sultanate.

[astral basin]

Pirates were state contracted. Not quite as free will as hollywood would have you think

[ripe tangle]

which is a big reason American ships were in the Mediterranean in the first place and why so many American Sailors were pressed into slavery, triggering the war I mentioned earlier.

[vocal hawk]

pretty sure it was apart of a treaty in the first Barbary war

[misty trench]

big shout out to that time the Portuguese tried to invade Morocco and lost like 90% of their royalty who all came along thinking it'd be easy glory

it did not go well for them

[ripe tangle]

iirc if you were contracted by a Recognized State, you were a Privateer, if you worked for some "pirate state" then you were simply a Pirate.

either way, they always answered to someone.

[vocal hawk]

Afghanistan has the craziest history with fighting off major powers very respectable people

[ripe tangle]

no such thing as freely attacking whoever and doing whatever you wanted.

not without severe consequences anyway lol

[vocal hawk]

yaaargh I am a pirate yaaargh

[astral basin]

East India is still a big name

[ripe tangle]

East India was more like a Corporation made up of Privateers who controlled the whole of South Asia for like a century

which is in itself fucking insane

[misty trench]

cartoonishly evil a lot of the time too

[ripe tangle]

oh yeah

[vocal hawk]

first modern corporation 🥹

[misty trench]

what happens when you give a corporation control of a whole fuckin region

[ripe tangle]

ridiculous amounts of slavery and war crimes that if listed would be thicker than a phone book

[astral basin]

Mfw Disney basically has sovereignty within the US

[misty trench]

it got to the point the crown actually had difficulty controlling them iirc

[vocal hawk]

they were basically nestle before nestle

or the chiquita banana corporation

[misty trench]

or coca cola...

[vocal hawk]

nestle is actually comically evil

[misty trench]

man this rampant corporatism without checks or regulation stuff kinda never has good results huh

[quartz rose]

Low key
We need a +20% damage reduction (Plasma Gunners) curio perk

[ripe tangle]

a lot of India (and Pakistan and Bangladesh and Burma/Myanmar) 's problems even today go back to the East India Company, and they were dismantled 170 fucking years ago -_-

[quartz rose]

I'd put that shit on all 3

[astral basin]

US government apparently had to be broken down twice bc of corporatism
Main thing I remember was the oil monopoly

[vocal hawk]

and also just colonialism in general

[vocal hawk]

crazy how that changed absolutely nothing anyways

[misty trench]

as an Australian it is not lost on me just how bad colonialism has been for the world

[astral basin]

I don’t remember the restrictions put on government officials. Was basically a ban on insider trading/ being directly involved with international trade

I tbink

The high school history lessons didnt stick

[vocal hawk]

they still do it but it’s ok because the government is always right

[misty trench]

entire languages and cultures and histories gone forever, fuckin sucks

[tender horizon]

Just remember, it's a big club and you ain't in it.

[ripe tangle]

I'm an American who's ancestry had homelands that were colonized, not by a far away power but like... immediate neighbors.

[quick pendant]

id rather have colonization back in the middle east rather than see more minorities get killed

[astral basin]

Or was it why we are not allowed to have monopolies all-together?

[vocal hawk]

especially native americans and how many were just erased from history

[misty trench]

...I'm not sure what you mean by this

[quick pendant]

exactly what i said

[misty trench]

colonization by who though?

[quick pendant]

the west

[misty trench]

you realise a lot of the middle east's issues are caused by

[somber stream]

Colonies under British rule wasn't that bad

French however..

[vocal hawk]

yeah if you ignore all the slavery

and like….genocide

[misty trench]

they were that bad

[ripe tangle]

a lot of them, if they weren't eradicated outright, were moved across the continent far away from their ancestral homelands, which is especially terrible since some tribes like the Cherokee for example, had religion tied to their ancestors and the lands their ancestors lived.

[quick pendant]

yeah go ahead

[misty trench]

by the west like directly

[vocal hawk]

fuck andrew jackson

[astral basin]

“Minorities” depends on where you are from
Remember. US citizens describing themselves as other cultures is wrong in its own way. To the ancestor cultures, we are all “white” to them

[misty trench]

the west has quite literally never done anything to improve the middle east, like ever

[quick pendant]

ok

[misty trench]

lmao we were all having a chill discussion until you decided to drop some mad bait

[ripe tangle]

bruh, the current and recent conflicts were a direct cause of Colonialism in the Levant.

[quick pendant]

let me tell you about your situation brownman

[ripe tangle]

sorry Aquila, I replied to the wrong comment

[vocal hawk]

[ripe tangle]

that wasn't meant for you

[astral basin]

Woooo 2600 calories today

[vocal hawk]

faking being deaf? helen keller reference

i am from jordan and you can tell that by checking my ip

[astral basin]

Rule 11 may be “no politics”
But. Im learning history.

[ripe tangle]

weren't the first ever concentration camps in British South Africa?

after the Boer War

[misty trench]

cool but it's really not my problem if you're historically illiterate lol

[quick pendant]

and i said i was deaf to prove why people would need mods like spidey sense

[misty trench]

yeah you can say that without lying about being deaf lmao

[agile crag]

people who use spidey sense are trash 🙂‍↕️

[quick pendant]

churches were bombed in syria druz villages were attacked

never would have happened under western rule

[vocal hawk]

yeah they would’ve just enslaved and killed everyone instead

[misty trench]

dude

[ripe tangle]

I'm reading this and all I think is "what?"

"fucking what!?!"

[vocal hawk]

have you heard about christopher columbus?

[astral basin]

We are getting into. A little too close to “recent history”
And the finger pointing that can happen bc of it

[vocal hawk]

that guy was so horrible the KING OF SPAIN ARRESTED HIM for how bad he was

[broken sun]

Yes

[agile crag]

columbus was a hero thats why we have columbus day

[vocal hawk]

if you like slavery then yeah he was a hero

[misty trench]

man shit was chill until people started baiting

[ripe tangle]

I'm pretty sure you're replying to sarcasm

[quick pendant]

everything i said is my genuine thought

i dislike to see my people dying

[ripe tangle]

I dislike seeing anyone dying CLAD

[misty trench]

your genuine thoughts are unironically racist and stupid, sorry

[quick pendant]

racist????

explain

[misty trench]

nobody likes to see people dying

[astral basin]

Heresy

[quick pendant]

explain it

[vocal hawk]

yeah I’d consider colonialism pretty racist

[ripe tangle]

well, except for psychopaths, some of them like it for some reason.

[misty trench]

we need colonization by the west
if you can't see how advocating colonialism is racist that's not my problem

you're also ignoring the fact that there are active genocides ongoing that have been western backed for years now

[vocal hawk]

breaking news slavery is bad actually

[ripe tangle]

Aquila, can I dm?

something

[misty trench]

of course, just add me

[quick pendant]

"not my problem"

[vocal hawk]

I’ve never seen a non-white colonization supporter before

[quick pendant]

use your eyes i am telling i am from that region and the majority can not be trusted to rule minorities

[vocal hawk]

how are we the dominant species on earth

[somber stream]

Bruh i went for coffee for a moment. Colonies and slavery was bad, yes.

But i was talking about colonies under French rule vs British Rule. French was exploitation colonialism with the mindset that Frnace is first and foremost, they drain the country of their rare and natural resource with while offer little or at all in return

British was more to settling. North America, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia. Sure it was bad, but they built. They tend to create colonies with local self government. With governors reporting to Britain. French regard the colonies as overseas provinces of France. Decolonization in French Colonies was much more bloody than British ones as well. The Brit negotiate, while the french used force

[astral basin]

Didnt the vikings do indentured servitude?
I heard somewhere that some groups did like a. “Prove yourself and we’ll make you a citizen” thing

[vocal hawk]

and when the british settled, who did they kill off to keep all of their settled land?

[misty trench]

then advocate for minority representation not fuckin' colonialism my god man

[quick pendant]

minority representation?

are you kidding me?

[astral basin]

Semantics.

[quick pendant]

you can not vote out someone who wants to kill you

[somber stream]

Funny enough, when the Vietnamese asked for independence after world war 2 from the French, they cited the US's constitution asking for freedom, instead the US joined in and bomb the shit out of them

[vocal hawk]

just 100 years after Columbus’s landing, it is estimated roughly 56 million indigenous peoples were killed

[quick pendant]

🤓 "uhhh why dont you just vote"

[vocal hawk]

that is also estimated to be roughly 90% of the native population

[quick pendant]

thats the most ignorant thing ive ever heard

my god

[misty trench]

ok mr fuckin "we need western colonialism"

[somber stream]

I never said killing wasn't involved. You expect people to yield their land peacefully during colonization?

[quick pendant]

why didnt the greeks, armenians, assyrians just vote the ottoman empire away!!!

why didnt they just ask them to stop

[arctic escarp]

as someone from a former dutch colony. Why the fuck do we want the Dutch back lol

[vocal hawk]

why should they? it’s their fucking land?

[quick pendant]

maybe the jews should have just asked hitler to stop

[misty trench]

none of that is what I said

[somber stream]

Yes and that's just history

[quick pendant]

@misty trench you could have just stopped the convo when i asked

[arctic escarp]

you literally post bait??

[misty trench]

maybe just don't involve yourself in it with insane bait

[arctic escarp]

or rather genuine dumbassery

[lilac crag]

what the hell, you lot

[agile crag]

ok ban people talking about politics

[vocal hawk]

if someone walked into your house and spoke a random language and pointed swords and muskets at you would you be pretty pissed off?

[quick pendant]

i am not baiting

[astral basin]

The diseases got plenty, even if the landslide of colonization decades later didnt do it totally.
Not to mention the conquistadors that went for Central America.
When someone moves in, someone/something has to move out unfortunately.

[weak beacon]

[vocal hawk]

this isn’t even political this is just history

[quick pendant]

once more i do not like seeing my people get blown up in churches

[agile crag]

ban them all

[quick pendant]

the west would not have let that happen

[rocky radish]

Man, I sure do like Darktide. Almost got my 3rd character to level 30, so out of the tutorial

[lilac crag]

[vocal hawk]

yeah man….totally….

[arctic escarp]

well the west certainly has let israel bomb palestine..

[misty trench]

you inserted yourself into a discussion I was having ABOUT HISTORY that was very chill and decided to inset yourself into it with an insane take

[arctic escarp]

wow

so free

[somber stream]

I never said they have no right to piss off, they should. I stated the fact that condition in British colonies and French were vastly different

[agile crag]

ban malarkey

[vocal hawk]

for what?

its called general chat you can not stop me from inserting myself if you wanted privacy go to dms

[agile crag]

[lilac crag]

licht. hello.

[rocky radish]

Pretty sure a mod can stop you…

[misty trench]

also the west has been allowing Palestine and the yemen genocide to go on for years now

the west allowed rwanda to happen

you're either historically illiterate or baiting

block them if you don’t like it

[somber stream]

Ello Alex, how goes the new crib?

[quick pendant]

<@&735928989146939404> can i get a competent warden to stop politics like i asked previously?

[agile crag]

Pretty sure the Shark guy just jumped in with his takes and make things political

[rocky radish]

People are telling you to STFU. You may not have noticed because they are trying to say it more politely. Take the hint?

[misty trench]

I'm done with this, he was baiting me and it worked, I shouldn't have bitten

[lilac crag]

hi, Aquila.

[misty trench]

[lilac crag]

I like the new pfp

[vocal hawk]

guys stop saying colonization is bad is so political aha you’re too cute to be doing this aha

[arctic escarp]

then sharkboy decides to make it political

[somber stream]

Take your time, give us a ping once you're done yeah?

Any difficulty?

[misty trench]

ikr

[thick fog]

Oops did not mean to send that

[lilac crag]

Personal ones I suppose. I don't think her or her girlfriend are used to my habits, like drinking coffee before sleeping.

[astral basin]

I am shooketh at this image

[agile crag]

colonization is a political issue ban em

[lilac crag]

they have a way of doing things, I'm more of the opposite, so it's gonna be compromising for a while.

[rocky radish]

A fellow ADHD haver?

[thick fog]

I am a political issue ban

Did someone just pinged me and got deleted?

[vocal hawk]

it’s a historical issue there’s only maybe 2 specific instances that are current but I wouldn’t want to make any very hot and political takes

[lilac crag]

I never got diagnosed with anything! I wouldn't be surprised if I did have it

[somber stream]

Long as it doesn't affect them personally, like noises or activities. It should be fine

The bane of mental illness.
Requiring a diagnosis for recognition
The diagnosis usually ends up being a hand wave crutch as well…

[vocal hawk]

there’s so many people with ADHD

[misty trench]

GANG

[rocky radish]

The benefit is a diagnosis opens up the opportunity to use meds. My life has improved dramatically as a result

[vocal hawk]

there’s gotta be some correlation between chemicals in food or something or maybe it’s the Tylenol who knows

[astral basin]

Ive heard that ADHD is supposed to be like. A genetic survival thing from hunter-gatherer eras.
Someone to fafo and introduce things to the tribe.

Theres so many crack pot studies out there

If it doesn't affect your daily life all that much, it's okay to walk on

[rocky radish]

From what I understand, our brains perceive boredom as being as dangerous as physical danger. So sometimes doing boring stuff (that we want/need to do) is like trying to hold your hand in boiling water. You can physically do it, but your brain won’t let you. That’s difficult for many neurotypical people to understand

[astral basin]

Idk i need a proper rediagnosis
I was forced to get one at 5 under threat of no education.

why don’t we help homeless people

[rocky radish]

I’m not so easily distracted. My biggest issue is motivation. Even with meds it is a genuine struggle

[somber stream]

Motivation can come from many source

And i think that bit is broader than just ADHD

[rocky radish]

I know getting back into exercise would help

[astral basin]

Exercise? In this economy?
If i dont have someone telling me to join while im not in the middle of something, its not happening

ok but how much money can you make for your corporation

[somber stream]

Is this a health condition or economy factor?

The latter, was made a mental health problem at an early age.

Heard a lot of “dont deserve” and “dont know the meaning of”

[somber stream]

I'm sorry that happened to you Servo

[astral basin]

I physically cannot swallow food if i feel i cant enjoy it or that itd go to waste

[somber stream]

But, you're still here, things are changing. And will change for the better, hopefully. You can maybe distract yourself by watching something while eating perhaps?

No actually don't that's a really bad advice lol

Do you cook?

[astral basin]

I follow instructions on meal boxes like hamburger helper.

No

[low wharf]

Something that worked for me is to just eat everything thats being served to me

[little marten]

Get some calorie powder and drink like 1k calories in a glass

[astral basin]

Thats whats been suggested before. Enthused with that option

[somber stream]

Cooking is rewarding. It promote creativity, give you a sense of accomplishment and is surprisingly stress relief

[astral basin]

Id need. A lotta fiber to offset the calories being liquid though

[little marten]

Make vegetable smoothies?

[tender horizon]

Cooking is something good to be present in what you're doing.

Eating is too tbh.

A pan that sings, a spice that blooms,

A gift of love on every plate.

I was lucky to be blessed with a good mother, she always made sure to compliment my cooking and offer thanks for my hard work

[astral basin]

I think you mentioned it a week or so ago last time i mentioned me being skinny. Was enthused alot.

[little marten]

Mine fucking hates my cooking wont try anything hell they would rather cling to the idea that I’m a lazy 12 year old than acknowledge the passage of 18 years since then

[somber stream]

What of the partner? Surely she appreciate

I've seen your cookings, proper stuff one and all

[little marten]

Yeah I only really cook because of her and others like her family and my dad and so

[somber stream]

Yours were splendidly executed and presented Nurgle

[little marten]

Oh yeah I’ve gotten to the stage where I’m happy with it and get excited at cooking so that’s one poison im expunging

[astral basin]

Nurgle, got a go to dish in your back pocket?

[wise depot]

I’m 22 and can’t cook for shit

[little marten]

Hmmm, used to be a tomato pasta but that can feel quite heavy - maybe like a sea bass in the oven with lemon butter and some baby potetoes asparagus and green beans

You wouldn’t be able to worry about leaving any on the plate because youd go feral wishing you had more

it's never to late to learn, it's very rewarding

[little marten]

Maybe you should watch some real gluttonous shit and realise that food and eating would be much greater respected by someone like you who appreciates what food is rather than a infinite resource

[misty trench]

cooking for myself feels nice, it's almost like meditation

cooking for my partner and family/friends also feels nice because I know I'm doing something for them that they appreciate, it's a way of showing love

[little marten]

I started learning to cook properly because I didn’t want to wash up 😈

[misty trench]

ofc with the latter I always worry I fucked it up I'll get more confident with time though

[somber stream]

Once you've got the hang of it, it's hard to fuck up. Unless we're talking Oven stuff

There's no going back on oven stuff.. Or a pot of broth

[misty trench]

as much as I enjoy baking I will admit it's like doing fuckin dark magic sometimes

oops you put in exactly 1 grain too much of something and now you've baked a fuckin brick

[somber stream]

Real

[misty trench]

though baking is a special case because it's literally chemistry

[somber stream]

Yeah with baking it's straight to the book, no mix-matching

[little marten]

Baking is wild respect that

[misty trench]

dude I've been making lemonade scones and it actually works so well (when I don't fuck it up)

[astral basin]

I like how food looks. I cant savor flavor though. Like. I can taste, but its… idk.
If i were to pick up cooking, itd have to be for someone else. Having leftovers rubs me wrong for a few reasons.

[somber stream]

Isn't that thing super complicated to make

[misty trench]

I will admit cooking for my partner has made me get into it a lot more

[obtuse oak]

Hahah we have the same division of labour

[somber stream]

Take it as a practice

[obtuse oak]

My partner does the cooking and I do the washing up and clean the kitchen

[somber stream]

Gotta start somewhere, might as well now

[misty trench]

Scones? for me they are at least xD

I'm getting the hang of it but sometimes the texture isn't quite where I want it

...possibly perfectionism because I still demolish them anyway

scones with jam and cream

[somber stream]

Imma be real chief im super ass with baking, if i want bread it's straight to the Bakerei

Normally i make naan at home, can't fuck up with pans

[misty trench]

that's fair lmao

I usually hit the bakery but I'm tryna get better at my own

[obtuse oak]

Naan is so easy and so good

[somber stream]

Garlic naan 😩

[elder merlin]

[ripe tangle]

Garlic Naan with ghee and chutney

[gloomy void]

How we feelin about the class reworks overall? I ask because i haven’t touched Zealot of Psyker yet

[ripe tangle]

so much fat, so good

[little marten]

Now it’s the players that need reworking 💀

[astral basin]

Psyker: overtuned in the old ways
Vet: over-tuned in new ways
Zealot: the One Build is dead due to new pathing options

[gloomy void]

Gotta release the “git gud” patch. If you fail to many missions in a row it auto unistalls the game

[restive walrus]

Sorry for bad English…where were you when one build was kill?

[astral basin]

Imagine hardcore mode in darktide
Your reject gets deleted on failed mission.
Cant happen due to disconnect issues tho

[gloomy void]

Damn. Can’t wait for the 3.0 reworks in 2026 that somehow makes us more OP

[whole glade]

you know what

[ripe tangle]

so, random thought.
do cats think we serve them? like do they think they're the masters?

[whole glade]

fuck you

imma lower your bit rate

[somber stream]

Some do

[ripe tangle]

mine thinks he owns me.

[somber stream]

According to a few of mine friend, and from what i've observed

[ripe tangle]

not the other way around

[somber stream]

lol

Happens, still love them anyway

[arctic escarp]

anyone have that image to indicate the area thats considered flanking and backstabbing

[vocal hawk]

arbite customization when

[vocal hawk]

the back

[lethal solstice]

Plenty of people have done this as a self imposed challenge

[little marten]

Let me a set a scene, like the many gripping Tertium right this very moment.

Ventilation purge maelstrom. Dark communion. The ambush event. It’s dark, smokey, a veritable coalescence of mischief afoot. Our brave Psyker has gone down 4/5 times by this point.

The gunner and reaper wave spawns in the mist. They gun down the Psyker. Nothing unexpected. They catch the veteran next. Sad but understandable it’s a very tough spot. I go to revive. Ack!! I’m gunned down.

A brave zealot enters the fray. He can’t get to them because well.. flesh cannot bend to the hammer of steel and gunpowder. He can however save me. Lovely. We clear the event, the teeth of my chainsword glittering in heretical blood.

The rest of the mission is just the most unhinged ranting of utter madness by the two initially downed players about how bad this guy is firmly picking them up. He’s getting abuse thrown at him and they’re jorking each other off that they’re someone leagues above us despite dying multiple times????

[lethal solstice]

Though I think they made it player death as opposed to failure

[vocal hawk]

totally man

[obtuse oak]

My cat constantly yells at me to do things for him and he reacts a little bemused when I tell him he can't do something, but he also wants my attention constantly and follows me around even when I go outside to walk the dog so he also likes me and wants to be together so he's not fiercely independent either

I'm not sure what he thinks the situation is

[ripe tangle]

it sounds like he loves you, but even he doesn't know who's really in charge; just that you're family I guess.

[somber stream]

Woe be upon those who random queue. We should gather the lads again

[little marten]

Might hold off till the plasma gunner fix, it’s really annoying getting blasted through cover

[astral basin]

Pretty much this.
They are spirited and prideful, but ultimately you are the provider. And they dont know what their role ultimately is

[somber stream]

Worries not, just stick close to me. I've been bubblemaxxing

[misty trench]

mine certainly does, lil fucker acts like he's king of the castle (he accepts tribute in the form of freeze dried chicken and salmon nuggets)

and then he hops up in my chair and starts doing the kickies on the arm rest for whatever reason, but at least he's having fun I guess

[astral basin]

Bits of grilled chicken and the monthly bowl of tuna oil

[somber stream]

At the end of the day, i much prefer mine cat to freely express itself, doing whatever it wants rather than acting reserved or too mindful of things

For it is a cat

Do not the cat

[whole glade]

do we know if sevatar is dead?

[obtuse oak]

My dog definitely knows I'm in charge, though she loses the plot sometimes when we're outside and she's off the leash and she gets too excited

[misty trench]

neuron activated

[somber stream]

I want a border collie so bad

But to imprison such a smart and active creature in an apartment is cruel

[misty trench]

yea they need a whole property

I'd love to get one but same deal, not got the space

[somber stream]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fUBNeXPxntM

This video help me fight off the urge every time

[misty trench]

like I'd get an Australian shepherd but uhhhh, I don't own livestock or a farm so I'm not the right guy for it

alas

[somber stream]

Welp, cats and birds it is

[misty trench]

I doubt I'm getting any other pets until my current 2 cats pass on anyway, they're anxious rescues and likely wouldn't take well to a non-cat

[nocturne bloom]

I don't have a dog anymore

[astral basin]

Old roommate had a husky german shepherd mongrel
He was crate trained but. That dog ran around the whole neighborhood when let out.
Beautiful dog.

[misty trench]

I miss my family dogs, one passed away last year

the other gets to hear my voice on calls with the fam back home but he's blind so he can't see me on the screen

hopefully I'll get to visit and give him some pets before he passes too, they're pretty old

[astral basin]

Theres no “walk”
You go for a ride and they follow 😭

[amber delta]

sup dogs

[nocturne bloom]

Lost mine on March first. I had to put him down at home. Buried him on the hill overlooking my house

His birthday was valentines day

[misty trench]

we keep the memories, I'm sorry for your loss

[nocturne bloom]

It took me around 8 hours to dig everything since the ground was frozen

Idk if I can ever have a dog again but

He was great

[misty trench]

the way it was explained to me was they're only part of our lives for a limited time but we're their entire world

knowing that and knowing we give our pets a good life helps ease the pain of the loss, to me at least

[somber stream]

Super smart fellows. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to talk one day

[misty trench]

I think once our cats pass, which hopefully won't be for another decade and a bit

I might be able to do pet fostering or something

provide a home to those animals that need one, least I can do y'know

[astral basin]

Most husky mixes ive seen have given a look i can only describe as
“Are you dumb? Thats not dog behavior silly person!”

[elder merlin]

[astral basin]

If it werent for the fact that
The 3 foot radius of every surface they touch will be contaminated in feces
Id want a ferret

[elder merlin]

My one cat, Tiger, had to be put down earlier this year. I still miss him

[astral basin]

Not to mention how well those things climb. And the musk.

[elder merlin]

He was a asshole that only liked me

Or maybe he just picked up on how nervous everyone else was around him, and that was why he would randomly claw or bite them

Meanwhile i would pick him up all the time and just nuzzle my chin into him and cuddle him

He was a big cat too, was born from a feral mom

[nocturne bloom]

I have 4 cats now

Oldest is 14

She was a street cat that lived behind a restaurant

As a result, she will eat your food if left unattended

[astral basin]

My lady Reese. Tortie
She was. Skittish. She ran away from everyone, everything. Would rather hole up than play. When she did play, she was very forceful

I dont remember many times where she had the narrow eyes. They were saucers 85% of the time.
Didnt meow either. Low groan. Unless she was deep throated screaming that she was in heat

[elder merlin]

Hell yeah

[obtuse oak]

Yeah this is why both of our pets are rescues

The cat is from Spain and the dog is from Romania

[elder merlin]

My friends adopted a dog from puerto rico, he is a neurotic little bastard, also scrounges a fuck ton

[somber stream]

I have two cats, one is a rescue, calico. Goes by "Kishi", live up to her name too, she insist on following me around everywhere, and guard the toilet door

The other is a Siamese, Klaus. High born, act that way as well. Only eat Salmon, Tuna is lowborn stuff. Favourite food is Royal canin. Would sometime offer affection should Kishi is away and there's nobody else around

[astral basin]

The indignity.
I scrolled down and found you posting him with a sleeping blep

[thorn wedge]

I'm trying to figure out if plasma gunners are funny

In the "that fire rework where it just kills you" sense of funny

[orchid skiff]

Hello

[thorn wedge]

But I'm just not sure if it's the same

[elder merlin]

I forgot that existed

[somber stream]

What? My cat?

Oh Pet tide, yeah it's a thing

[elder merlin]

Yes, i forgot about the cat that i also just learned existed in the past minute or two

[astral basin]

Jury duty in a district i havent lived in for 3 years

Ugh

[jaunty plover]

My internet was down for almost 2 weeks, I just got it back now. So is there a video on the Vetran rework?

[left swan]

just curious guys, how often have you guys had "unexpected error, mission abort" since Bound By Duty xD

I ahvent been able to rank up my Havoc at all with this, stuck at 36-37 cuz of that

unsure if it's a region thing. I havent seen people say much about it, I play in Hong Kong/Asia Pacific

[formal mortar]

I have had it 0 times myself.

Others have had it multiple times from what I've seen here though

[left swan]

that's crazy, maybe it is a region thing.

[errant knot]

is the dodge nerf intentional bcz it makes heavy weapons feel even worse than they did before lol

[left swan]

idfk man, I get constant packet loss + error miss abort while Havocing lol

[amber delta]

there was a dodge nerf?

[errant knot]

yeah most weapons lost a dodge

[left swan]

which class? cuz 2h weapons have never felt nicer on zealot, Idk if there's even a dodge nerf

[errant knot]

except dueling sword which still can have 5 lol

but most weapons now have 3 dodges instead of 4

[left swan]

afaik, it's just a UI thing, mods still show normal dodges

[errant knot]

is it? bcz even if you inspect the weapon the dodge limit has been reduced too

[left swan]

or you meant stamina

Thammer still got 3 dodges

[errant knot]

thammer always had 3 dodges

[left swan]

I think evis still the same

yeah

[errant knot]

relic blade has 3 now instead of 4

[lilac crag]

2 handed weapons always had 3 dodges tho?

[errant knot]

not with 60+ mobility

it always had 4

now you have 3 even with 80 mobility

[lilac crag]

I see

[errant knot]

which is dumb as shite

even the combat knife now only has 4

a knife...

yet dueling sword mk5 can have 5 bcz of the defences stat and mobility stat being on the same weapon

[analog marsh]

Probably bugs with FS spaghetti code.

[left swan]

honestly I probably trust Numeric UI dodge counter more lol

[errant knot]

hope so bcz it just makes these heavier weapons which already have atrocious dodge distance feel unmoveable when being swarmed

whereas just take a toothpick dueling sword and you destroy everything and have most dodges lol

[left swan]

relic blade still has 4 dodges to me

[amber delta]

luckily I have no need to dodge with my 15 stamina build

[left swan]

the integrated UI doesnt really seem correct i think

[errant knot]

numeric UI hasnt even been updated yet has it?

[left swan]

it has

[arctic escarp]

well thammer used to have 2 dodges only

[errant knot]

well why is the game telling you dodge limit 3 when you inspect it in the inventory and the new UI telling you 3 ingame so dumb...

[arctic escarp]

that was a fucking pain to use, and the 5 weekdays long self stun on special hit

[left swan]

honestly it's whatever, all I know is you can dodge 4 or 5 times even be4 becoming ineffective noticably with relic sword

[formal mortar]

Only weapon I have had 2 dodges on so far has been the 2h chainsword

[astral basin]

I want to play zealot as an anchor melee
But. Ive seen anchoring discouraged here.
And zealots get more zoomie magic than ground standing.

[arctic escarp]

apparently its wrong rn

[formal mortar]

But it was a low level sword

[arctic escarp]

numeric UI still has an accurate number

[errant knot]

lol this game sometimes

[left swan]

dunno, i do great with thammer just knocking elites down in droves

[astral basin]

My other goal yes

[left swan]

either way, I got no issues wl weapons and stuff rn, apart from error mission aborts lol

biggest gripe atm

[astral basin]

Idk. I see a lot of “if dodge correctly get buff” perks
Not inclined to learn movement tech when theres so much else going on. Its more of a requirement than a reward

[jaunty plover]

Just got my internet back after 2 weeks thanks to the back to back typhoon philippines had. So guide on the ventran rewrok?

[errant knot]

numeric UI hasnt been updated since august and it broke the ammo count so how do you know the dodge count is working tho

whole thing is a mess cant trust any stats in this game

[amber delta]

do not trust the stats

trust the emperor

[arctic escarp]

the ammo count thing is after the current update. Its working fine before, and the dodge count was accurate then too

ok Sleep Token music kinda slaps

[brave slate]

Movement tech? My brother in Christ it's a single button press.

[arctic escarp]

you dodge some couple milisec after you hear the attack sound cue if you meant proccing stuff like zealot's duelist node

#zealot-class message behold movement tech

[severe sequoia]

movement tech
looks inside
it's just dodging

[astral basin]

Single button my foot. Dodging, sliding, pushing, trying to navigate the horde

[arctic escarp]

I just love how gay I sound in that

RECEIVE THE EMPEROR!

[errant knot]

using the show me real stats mod it still only shows me 3 dodges when I inspect a weapon

so am i trippin or what

[hardy wyvern]

lol auric plays like havoc 😓

[arctic escarp]

#zealot-class message lol I forgot about this

I WAS BEING HELPFUL

[hardy wyvern]

just had a 30 crusher rush

not including everything else and twins

[somber stream]

Psyker flame goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttt

[arctic escarp]

the type sh Dukane expects you to win

[amber delta]

next mf who unironically says "movement tech" woe be upon ye

[ripe gorge]

Using the power maul, kickback and big box of grenades is very fun for throwing crushers off their rhythm

[daring panther]

Wtf is movement tech

[astral basin]

Look im on controller.

[amber delta]

cringe CoD lingo

[astral basin]

As far as im concerned anything other than basic side to side movement is black magic sorcery

[arctic escarp]

thas not a CoD exclusive thing

[amber delta]

unfortunately

but let's keep it contained

[daring panther]

Understandable then

[arctic escarp]

its literally just dodging and dodge sliding haha

also blocking hits is underrated 🙂

[astral basin]

Black magic sorcery

[arctic escarp]

i frames on dodge literally gives you brainrot

[tired steeple]

see if there's a inferno staff psyker in my game

[astral basin]

Only time i use block is for push

[tired steeple]

do I just sit on my ass and do nothing

[somber stream]

You get i frame while dodging?

[tired steeple]

they seem to be able to just solo the entire map

[astral basin]

As far as i know there is no block. Only push

[amber delta]

blocking crusher overheads saved my butt a couple of times (barely)

[arctic escarp]

no

Dodge works by disabling enemies’ attacks’ tracking on players

I was wrong chat!

[ripe gorge]

Could always try the parry weapons, they are great in those situations

[somber stream]

Yeah no kidding, the amounts of time i got absolutely pasted by crushers while dodging

[astral basin]

See? I have to push, swing, look side to side, move side to side
All two fingers and all two thumbs are doing something. No chance to dodge

[arctic escarp]

activating power weapons gives a block state when youre in the anim

[astral basin]

Really? Neat

[arctic escarp]

I cant remember if parrying (when youre activating your parry counter animation) prevents any damage taken

[arctic escarp]

you'll still get overheaded like normal

[ripe gorge]

That works for the new power sword and relic blade but not for the original power sword yes?

Blocking attacks on power up i mean

[somber stream]

They do

[arctic escarp]

yes

shame cuz Psword is still the better vet weapon > PF

[obtuse oak]

Are you playing this game without dodging?

[astral basin]

Yes 👀

[somber stream]

Can parry a crusher and walk away with very little stamina consumed should you land a perfect parry (first 0.2 sec)

[little marten]

Just dodge lmao

[arctic escarp]

oh I meant on other sources, sry for lack of clarification

[somber stream]

What's the highest difficulty that you usually play?

[arctic escarp]

like you parry the attack that procs the parry

but what happens if other sources hit you

[ripe gorge]

Hey Hank! Supercharge explosion with all the explosion talents is causing all nearby barrels to explode from the impact. Is this intended? I ask because its making randoms frustrated in game

[somber stream]

You get damaged

[arctic escarp]

are you still safe or you take daamge?

ah ok

[obtuse oak]

Oh man.

Brother you are gimping yourself really badly

Dodging is essential

[arctic escarp]

heresy player

[somber stream]

However if youre blocking multiple attacks at the same time, you will effectively block them all

[astral basin]

Was trying my hand on damnations when auric first came out
Deleted characters to start fresh. Still doing heresy

[somber stream]

Dodging is essential, might need to start practicing

[amber delta]

dodging is probably more overpowered than rolling in dark souls no 🧢

[somber stream]

Why are you dragging Dark souls into this lol

[astral basin]

Typically, im using heavy evis.
Push the horde, wide heavy swing.
When im trying other weapons, i shuffle up what im doing. Usually its activate-rush-heavy thump

[arctic escarp]

what keybind for dodge

[amber delta]

because both games are rollslop

[astral basin]

Keybind

Brother im on controller

[arctic escarp]

nvm my question then xd

[somber stream]

You can't rebind controller buttons?

[astral basin]

I play like i was only given 4 fingers

You can. I even have paddles

Dodge is even bound to paddle

I just

[somber stream]

Holy shit paddles too?

[astral basin]

Dont

Loooook

Im too worried trying to spot the elites in the horde that i dont think about dodge

[little marten]

Controller 💀

[somber stream]

@lilac crag How do you dodge, usually

[arctic escarp]

by stepping sideways duh

!!!

[obtuse oak]

This isn't a sufficient excuse, one of the best players among my friends is on controller and he dodges just fine

You need to incorporate dodging into your gameplay or you are going to plateau your skill level

There is no way to play Darktide seriously without it

[astral basin]

I dont play it seriously tbh
I just. Dont think about dodging until its entirely too late or im surrounded by horde

[arctic escarp]

play more seriously!

[formal mortar]

Controller really isn't an excuse I've used controller and I've used keyboard

[somber stream]

Kinda reminds me of Diana

Use melee only
Refuse to run, like ever
Username: Meleeonlynorunning
Die a lot
Leave negative review on steam: Shit game, bad

[ripe gorge]

That's the thing right, darktide isn't really a "turn your brain off and play horde shooter" like most of the games in this genre; the skill curve is higher.

[astral basin]

If it makes you feel better
I dont have issues with maulers ragers or crushers
Its typically ogryn enemies and dreg squads if they have enough shooting space

Hey now i sprint! I even slide!

Sometimes slide…

[arctic escarp]

ok but dodging becomes muscle memory the more you put effort to do it

[brave slate]

No one's asking you to play seriously but damn... It's like saying you don't want to think about jumping in a mario game

[somber stream]

I'm sure you do, this whole thing just reminded me of my short but memorable interaction with a server member here lol

Bit of a urband legend

[ripe gorge]

That's a very good point

[astral basin]

I dont think i run into issues i need to dodge
Horde? Push it.
Mixed horde? Push harder and try to beat the heavier units
Elites? Attempt thump. They are probably not looking at me anyways. If they are? Maybe then i finally dodged backwards

Ngl 90% of my troubles arise when i see a ranged elite
And attempt to shove my way through the mixed horde to deal with it myself

[ripe gorge]

These games really all come down to teamwork. It's not how much damage I can do to this enemy its how much damage can we as a team do here together!

[arctic escarp]

broski shooting himself in the leg 🥀

[astral basin]

Always

Playing to suffer

[obtuse oak]

Please stay in Heresy then

[astral basin]

Ouch lmao

I will strive

To curse auric and havoc games

As no dodge zealot

[somber stream]

I will find you

[obtuse oak]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-dead-died-gif-13827091

[somber stream]

And i will barrel you

[astral basin]

I will be the brain dead teammate thats always sub half health

[ripe gorge]

That mentality explains why the second i get trapped in a random auric maelstorm match its over half the time sigh

[astral basin]

Eating all the heals

Bc i wont dodge

[orchid skiff]

when did this chat become about players that don't know how to play bragging that they don't know how to play

make general chat the femboy chat again

[obtuse oak]

Gonna ask Fatshark to add a dodge tracker that autokicks players from damnation+ missions if they don't dodge for 60 seconds

[astral basin]

Hey wait a minute

[arctic escarp]

I love men

[astral basin]

I didnt think playtesters had power

[astral basin]

Mildly concerning

Ngl. I would be happier if the front bumpers only had one set
And the second set was shifted closer to the grip standard. Before paddles.

I dont claw. I dont double finger or center perch

[little marten]

🫵😂

SKILL ISSUE SKILL ISSUE

[astral basin]

Hell yeah

[little marten]

Tbf if you enjoy what you enjoy and it works no bother

[somber stream]

At this point, get a Joystick and install War Thunder

[little marten]

But if you wanna ride gnarly hogs with us in the big leagues you know what you gotta do

[astral basin]

No satisfaction in a joystick

Itll come right out

Need to grip it in my whole fist

[orchid skiff]

i don't want your hog

[topaz flicker]

anyone else have the game crashing immediately while also crashing steam for whatever reason?

[little marten]

But I’m always cranking my hog

[astral basin]

Almost miss ow

[topaz flicker]

was there some kinda update or whatever?

[ripe gorge]

Is it just me or do players no longer engage fights anymore? It seems they wait as long as they possibly can before moving through the map.

[little marten]

I only play soulslikes with a controller otherwise it’s keyboard and mouse all the way baby

[astral basin]

Wait. Holy shit. Im playing zealot like im playing brig from ow

[somber stream]

Same

[astral basin]

Lmfao

[somber stream]

I play exploration games with controller

[topaz flicker]

i'm always runnin' in for a fight

[somber stream]

M&K superiority

[orchid skiff]

i play everything with a keyboard i will not be controlled by big controller

[ripe gorge]

Best answer!

[astral basin]

Wish my old man let me keep at the old mnk rts games
I hated the swap

[topaz flicker]

by the way, darktide's been crashing while trying to start it, and takin' steam with it recently, for some reason, anyone got any idea about that i don't use any mods for darktide by the way, cause i know people are gonna ask about that.

[astral basin]

Diablo 2, age of civ2/myth

Whats the zerg n space marine game

[little marten]

I remember when I was a kid and somehow at one with a controller like actually could play fps with it and actually make headshots now i have none of that thumb precision

[ripe gorge]

I feel like when I play fury of the faithful zealot no one wants to back me up and move in with me, playing with randoms of course

[topaz flicker]

it's only darktide, by the way, far as i know, cause i started up space marine 2 and did a mission stomping a buncha' tyranid scum without issue

[little marten]

Such is the zealots curse

[astral basin]

Same. But then again. I dont dodge.

[topaz flicker]

zealout's great alone in melee, especially with that charge ability

[rocky radish]

The ravages of time get us all eventually

[topaz flicker]

hand him a relic blade even and he's practically unstoppable

the only thing i wish zealout had was the ability to equip 2 melee weapons.

[astral basin]

Idk there was magic in playing halo reach and getting the two shot jackal kills everytime

[little marten]

When the going gets tough;

Veteran falls back

Psyker hides in their bubble

Arbites holds up their shield until the second coming of Christ

Ogryn is rarely in the matchmaking so idk

Zealot can only go forward 😈

[ripe gorge]

Which is awesome till that one dog you didn't see or that one net gets through and...gg

[topaz flicker]

easy dodges

[arctic escarp]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A BACKWARDS KEY

[somber stream]

Vet with exec stance: hehe

[little marten]

I’ve been playing mainly veteran tbf since rework and it’s been fun but the 2 zealot games I played just sang to me still the song of the furious faithful

[astral basin]

Im currently working on a.
Slow n sweepy build.
Where my only role is to shove uglies off of people if it isnt already executed.
No daring pushes. No fun. Just nannying and hoping im not getting abandoned

[ripe gorge]

No one can dodge everything all the time alone, but we can agree to disagree

[topaz flicker]

only thing that gets me as of recent is if my w key suddenly refuses to work properly, followed by the w key and every key around it being introduced to my interpretation of gork's fist.

[little marten]

Wave based timers also make it a bit better for zealots to go forwards to survive

[lilac crag]

hm?

in darktide?

[somber stream]

Yes

[little marten]

Sorry fury of the faithful has that binding now

[astral basin]

Check the whole conversation mate

Its a kick

[lilac crag]

circle on the ps5 controller

[ripe gorge]

This! People take their time not realizing more and more will just keep adding on to the horde

[somber stream]

So you press 1 (one) button

[lilac crag]

can't right now, moving my electronics over

[astral basin]

F

[topaz flicker]

and sure, i get hit by either every now-and-then, but most the time i'm dodgin' 'em easy, and most the time by accident cause i'm an erratic little shit who won't stand still in combat, unless i have a gun in my hands.

[lilac crag]

I have to use my stick to the direction I wish to dodge into

[somber stream]

So point and press

[topaz flicker]

and even then, it depends on the gun

[little marten]

Controller players such hassle

[lilac crag]

and I also have to claw my index finger or use the aiming thumb

[little marten]

I just thump the SPACEBAR

[lilac crag]

both are painful by the way

my hands are too big for controllers

[ripe gorge]

Hmm i see. Ill definitely keep dodging better in mind as zealot, ty!

[somber stream]

I see i see

[little marten]

Also despite the mid reviews I like the new bolter mark

The single shot hip fire is so nice

[lilac crag]

I love the new marks

to me they are so much better

[little marten]

I haven’t fucked with the pistol does it have better recoil lol

[somber stream]

Better on the Bistol, i'll stick to the previous mark with the Bolter

[astral basin]

Gist is
As a controller player
I have both thumbs on joysticks
And a finger on each trigger
So while im in horde, or letting an elite approach
Im never dodging bc its too out of the way
(Ignore the fact that it is literally programmed to a paddle. I forget because im scanning the wave for elites coming in while shoving and swinging)

[topaz flicker]

do so as ogryn and psyker too. nothin' with them keepin' ya' still, vet's the only class i know of that has any abilities that require you to stay still for some particular kinda buff or just not to be noticed by the enemy

[little marten]

You ever do the bistol combo of push and shoot?

Probably the slickest combo going

Forcing the weapon down a poxwalkers throat

[lilac crag]

you sadly have to train yourself to dodge in hordes using claw grip or some other handy habit

[topaz flicker]

and arbites, you got the dog anyways, it'll help you in your times of need.

[somber stream]

Oh yeah, very cinemetic

[lilac crag]

I keep my middle finger on the trigger to let my index handle my buttons

[ripe gorge]

The irony is vet is actually my 2nd to worst class and I do far better in auric maelstorm with arbiter, ogryn and zealot.

[obtuse oak]

Vet lost the last of his stillness buffs in the last patch

ABM (always be moving)

[astral basin]

I never learned to claw. Dont think my hands can stretch that way ngl.

[lilac crag]

don't blame you

[topaz flicker]

my favorites personally are arbites, ogryn, and psyker, but zealout's provin' fun for me, and i'm workin' on mastering every weapon currently in the game.

[amber delta]

thank the shark for that

(tho I did like the camo talent from before patch 13)

[lilac crag]

which one?

[topaz flicker]

nice, havn't played him in a while since he got new weapons. never finished the plasma rifle, nor power sword with him and i'm savin' him for later now til' i'm done with zealout's eviscerator, relic sword, and maul

[astral basin]

Maybe… i can be a non dodging psyker with relic sword and jazz hands…

[amber delta]

you stand still, most enemies ignore you

[lilac crag]

ah

[astral basin]

i can go down even more

[lilac crag]

never knew that was a thing

[topaz flicker]

did they ever change any other melee weapons to work more similarly to how the relic blade works, by the way?

cause i fuckin' love the relic blade, it's GREAT!

[lilac crag]

the new falchion melee on vet is a relic blade

the combos are 1:1

[ripe gorge]

I have too much fun with the "best or meta" options. The way I look at it is, I already get variety of 5 classes I dont need further variety from weapons that cause in my experience "more frustration than fun" just my opinion of course

[topaz flicker]

can't wait to have fun with that then.

[amber delta]

not sure how it worked exactly because that was before talent trees were a thing, but it was funny chopping hordes while standing still and they would just run past you

[topaz flicker]

yeah, i get that feelin' with the helbore

[ripe gorge]

I'm so glad someone else feels that way haha

[astral basin]

Honorable mention. I have to force myself to grab an extra wound. I typically play w 2-3 otherwise 👀
I can manage 3. 2 is painful

[topaz flicker]

what weapons frustrate you anyways?

[ripe gorge]

So many honestly

[astral basin]

At this point im attempting to inflict warp damage

[lilac crag]

Relic Blade

[ripe gorge]

For me darktide feels like a game that requires instant answers to instant problems so I need fast weapons with big results

[lilac crag]

also not a big fan of thammer marks

[topaz flicker]

eh, personally mine are the helbore, maybe the plasma rifle, the flamer's iffy for me, and maybe the twin-linked stubber for ogryn, as well as burst fire rifles, cause i'm just not a fan of burst fire.

got dogs to walk.

[ripe gorge]

It was fun chatting with ya, if you wanna play sometime let me know!

[zenith glade]

U rang ?

[arctic escarp]

what the fuck!!

[rocky radish]

I like this

[formal mortar]

I need weapons that help make bacon pancakes

[hidden wedge]

whens the plasma gunner getting nerfed? shits ruining my havoc games

[ripe gorge]

Thanks!

[little marten]

Thunder hammer is so shit lmao

[shy panther]

He said, being wrong

[little marten]

1 shot builds are cringe too like it’s nice blowing up a deamonhost but have fun taking 3x as long to do anything else

[amber delta]

yeah heretics shit themselves when they see me rocking it

[shy panther]

He whined, thinking that he was the only smart person in the room

[hidden wedge]

youre right, it feels shit to use too

[shy panther]

No but fr thammer is great if you ain't got a bitch in your ear telling you it's ass

[little marten]

It’s always some little puny zealot in Jean shorts running around with a hammer too not some absolutely adorned in contempt muscular king or queen revving the sword

[shy panther]

You won't detonate hordes but it WILL detonate everything else

[amber delta]

bro woke up and chose to be wrong about everything

[little marten]

Jean short fans I see

More like Jean shart hahahaha

[shy panther]

I'm a psyker main I unfortunately only have the right opinions

[amber delta]

Billy Jean

[shy panther]

The voice in my brain tells me that I'm the coolest and also that Jean shorts are pretty cool

[little marten]

Now I know my limitations I don’t have the brain required to grasp psyker but it’s definitely got me interested with the rework

[shy panther]

Psyker really ain't that tough

They look spooky as a class bc of so many numbers and concepts but it all boils down to "other class's thing but warp"

[little marten]

Yeah gun Psyker and uh greatsword infernus are fine but I really wanted to make illisi work

It looks the coolest

[shy panther]

Yeah unfortunately iirc illisi kind of

sucks

[astral basin]

Im trying to think on how a design for claw controllers would look
And. For some reason. What comes to mind are those fake dj sets with the discs

[shy panther]

It's unfortunate but it's p much the best at being a thing you can hold

[little marten]

Just get a keyboard and mouse

[astral basin]

Broke

[little marten]

Rip

I used my old windows xp keyboard and mouse for like 2 decades

You’d not believe the amount of fingernails inside it

[astral basin]

Yick

[shy panther]

They are 0$

Just steal

Like do people not know you can just steal

[rocky radish]

Wth? Block your shower drain with nails, like a civilized person

[astral basin]

My nails get lost in the carpet until the next vaccuming

[orchid skiff]

huh?

how do you lose nails like that

[lilac crag]

security

literally yesterday while I was buying a controller I saw some guy try to snatch a new mouse

he mixed with the crowd in the mall

still got caught

[shy panther]

well yeah you obviously dont do it EARLY

[little marten]

You put your nails down the drain?! But that where’s excess meat fat does

[shy panther]

what you do is yousteal while you buy something else

you need to be smart, not just pocket something & run

people just dont know how to steal anymore

[lilac crag]

that don't change much boss

at best they'll think you conveniently forgot to give the box you didn't give them to scan

[shy panther]

this may be because i dont live in a city

but i shit you not gamer its really not that hard to Just Steal

[lilac crag]

I see

[astral basin]

Yeah no i work at a store
We see it all. Theres a dozen cameras that see it
We are told not to engage bc people are stupid, no matter how smart they think they are

Best case scenario. They stole $5 and wont come back
Worst case? They are sued and legally cant come back

[arctic escarp]

why steal when you can....legally own things

work smarter smh 😈

[shy panther]

you still legally own a thing if you steal it

innocent until proven otherwise bay bee

[shy panther]

and yea i worked at a few as well, most of the ones here have cameras that only "work" sometimes, specifically on the busiest days

[astral basin]

Usually they get checked on employee issues
Theyll get checked on customer incidents if its bad enough

Just ripped my face off via razor blade
Havent been wo the shag in. Months.

[lilac crag]

back when I was 16 I did something really dumb

good thing I was a minor

[amber delta]

hey so anyway why are there 2 vigilant autogun weapon families

could we maybe rename one

[astral basin]

Shiet id get the failure son spiel if i so much as took a snack cake from the top shelf.
I was glad to own my own things that people dont snatch away or demand gets returned

[astral basin]

I get upset every time i see that. I think its warframe

[arctic escarp]

back when I was 16 I did something really dumb

good thing I was a minor

😔

[astral basin]

Fuuuuuuck an hours drive one way just for something i should have been told to stay home for

[little marten]

WHAT DID YOU DO

[astral basin]

Be a minor

Something really dumb

[lilac crag]

socked a security guard in the face for my mate's sake

[amber delta]

if you are gonna drive under the influence, is it better to do so as a minor or adult

[little marten]

50/50 the dude was a gimp so probably not the worst crime

[arctic escarp]

shieet the worst thing I did as a teen was probably fighting off my bullies lol

well worst is subjective

[lilac crag]

funny thing is that I didn't and ended up with a permanently damaged eye

[little marten]

You’re talking to a criminal mastermind I’m afraid. But don’t let TV licensing know

[lilac crag]

and hearing. but I already subject my ears to music every day

[arctic escarp]

oh jeez

[orchid skiff]

the morale of the story is to always kill those that displease you

[arctic escarp]

thats horrible experience, Im sorry

[rare pulsar]

And make sure you dont have a license yet

Minor

[lilac crag]

it's why I emphasize ppl to fend off harassment

[arctic escarp]

look at mr white collar criminal here

@little marten

[lilac crag]

anyone who gives you the " be the bigger person " bs hasn't had glass stabbed into their eye

[little marten]

This is exactly the place where the tax man would hang out

[orchid skiff]

@little marten we know what you did

@little marten You think you can get away with this? I've already reported you, and you'll be hearing from law enforcement soon.

[arctic escarp]

yea. Fighting off my bullies was immensely satisfying tbh. And they never tried bullying me again ever since.

[lilac crag]

very gud

be the protector you need

[astral basin]

Old roommate shoved his thumb in my eye. Think it was intention to gouge it out.
Still hurts 4 years later. Couldn’t imagine glass

People suck

[little marten]

I’ll run

[sleek lotus]

Plasma gunner is bad

Applause

[shy panther]

He's right

[sleek lotus]

Plasma gunner

applause

Is bad

???

[ocean widget]

Yeah eyes are easily damaged unfortunately
Fucked mine up by a high speed encounter with the floor

You'd think humans would've evolved something more durable by now

[ocean widget]

https://tenor.com/view/cue-dots-tv-ad-break-marker-cue-marks-bbc-production-gif-16799784

[orchid skiff]

how tf do you hit your eyes with the floor

where is your nose

you a fucking tau

[astral basin]

Second/ third eyelid

[mighty fractal]

Cant link gifs in here anymore ?

[astral basin]

People abused the posting. Not anymore.

[sleek lotus]

Aye can't a guy link gifs 'ere no'mo?

[ocean widget]

Well you see, when your head is angled your eye can be closer than your nose

So yeah, head went bonk and one eyes worse than the other annoyingly

Can't have symmetry even for the shite things

[little marten]

Bro with the cute little button nose

[ocean widget]

No i just have a natural affinity for fucking up symmetry

Eyes were roughly the same before that

[river elbow]

That and if our immune system detects they exist they will actively eat them.

[bitter matrix]

Hi all

[ocean widget]

Hello

[ocean widget]

they've got their own immune system as well pretty sure

[somber stream]

That's a disturbing thought

Like a cage around your eyes?

Or a protective layer like membrane to a cell

[amber delta]

that's clearly unnecessary if we've gotten as far as we have without it

[obtuse oak]

thats right. evolution does not occur if there is no selection taking place

[somber stream]

With humanity's daily use of screen device, our eyes will grow bigger in the future to adapt to these uses.

ANIME

[amber delta]

our eyes will merge into a single big eye since we dont need depth perception looking at a screen

[orchid skiff]

i need depth perception for my fps skills

[obtuse oak]

our eyes wont change unless humans start incorporating eyeball size into mating criteria and selecting for bigger and bigger eyes

[amber delta]

bottom line is - do not allow weeabos to mate
