[hasty sky]

Just finished drinking tea 👍

[wicked nebula]

[lusty estuary]

call of duty is LITERALLY the newest thing

[quaint moss]

[hasty sky]

I can't I'll end up looking like Garfield if I do

[lusty estuary]

if you aren't playing the newest thing what are you even doing.

what's the new call of duty i already forgot

[round mica]

im unloved

I didn't ask what happens. I asked. what is. the new. call of duty.

that happens in EVERY call of duty

[quaint moss]

yes

[lusty estuary]

THIS IS WHAT THE GAME HAS BEEN FOR 10 YEARS

[hasty sky]

But that literally is what the new call of duty is 🥀

[earnest oyster]

[lusty estuary]

WHAT'S THE TITLE!

[hasty sky]

oh

black ops 7 lmao

[lusty estuary]

THANK YOU!

anways

[gilded socket]

Why is cod ghosts still 60 dollars

[carmine steppe]

Cause they want your money

[lusty estuary]

everyone should be buying black ops 7 right now because it literally has beavert and butt hut t

[quaint moss]

i kinda stopped playing after 3. i loved origins, made it a bit easier to play

[carmine steppe]

They are greedy and will charge you a lot for a mid game at best also they will cut corners and use AI

[earnest oyster]

it has a skibidi toilet style boss (i cant link it)

[carmine steppe]

And by that I mean they will use generative AI to not pay artist or actors

[quaint moss]

because activision would LITERALLY rip the soul out of you and sell it to the devil if they could

[earnest oyster]

they're too far gone, the devs

[quaint moss]

they go on sale at random for like 17 though

[lusty estuary]

i never really liked call of duty past the original WWII games

[gilded socket]

Sounds gay asf

[lusty estuary]

the US army has tried and failed to seduce me for years.

[quaint moss]

i played a lot of modded world at war

[quaint moss]

no, cause gay is good

Loans be damned I will just break down if you act mean to me

[misty trench]

god sleeping in feels nice

[carmine steppe]

In feel?

I mean what does "sleeping in" means

[fair bridge]

sleeping beyond the time that you typically wake up at

for example: "during the weekend, when i'm not working, i sleep in."

[carmine steppe]

Ohhh

i don't know how to summarize it better

[hidden trout]

Holy shit I jusr got jumpscared
I thought backup was unbanned

[carmine steppe]

Who is backup?

Was he like dense? Or worse?

[feral vessel]

wait speaking of dense

is he okay

[cosmic burrow]

Free clad

[carmine steppe]

He's no longer with us (good)

[fair bridge]

i think i remember backup

[feral vessel]

rest in piss
exactly as he would want

[round mica]

sounds cool

[feral vessel]

yeah it is

[carmine steppe]

He kinda had it coming so yeah, maybe he can appeal the ban, I dunno

[feral vessel]

did he just get banned for living up to his namesake

[carmine steppe]

He was just a prick anyone who asked questions

[hasty sky]

backup is one of the modmakers right

[fair bridge]

yes

[carmine steppe]

If I remember correctly something about calling a new player moron, well that's probably the drop that spilled over the cup

[fair bridge]

they made some of the weapon customization addons

[keen gale]

So, you fixed our 3013 problem? And if so... how? I had litteraly same thing after arbitres (I bought dlc, up class to 30lvl and then game just - died)

[carmine steppe]

So why did backup get banned?

[quaint moss]

[fair bridge]

i do not remember

[misty trench]

I slept until midday

[feral vessel]

my dad somehow managed to sleep in until like 2 in the afternoon once

Nice, it's a good use of your free time

Well one can argue that as long as you enjoy whatever you do it's a good use of their free time

[errant python]

God bless

[misty trench]

yeee I didn't realise how tired I was after all the christmas stuff plus a job interview and some immigration stuff

[fair bridge]

you're immigrating to canada?

[misty trench]

I'm already here, I'm just waiting on perm residency to get fully approved

[fair bridge]

bf wanted to look into that

let me know how much of a complete pain in the ass it is when it's done

[misty trench]

it's pretty easy outside MASSIVE technical difficulties I experienced

[grand elk]

Sorry to bother but I have a bug to report, where would be the best place to do that?

[misty trench]

and also y'know, the financial cost

[errant python]

oh I'm considering immigration to Canada too

[misty trench]

the fatshark forums would be the best place

[errant python]

Alberta possibly

[fair bridge]

i'd rather move to ireland

[misty trench]

[errant python]

I think I might ultimately go for Ireland though since college is free there and I'm natively irish

yeee it's similar to Australia that way thank goodness

[errant python]

I think one major problem Canada has right now and is one reason I might not move here is how bad the housing is

[misty trench]

I went to an amazing ethiopian place for date night last month

[errant python]

like there's very little to reasonably take for housing which is a shame

[errant python]

I went to a Persian place a while back for my birthday and it was some of the best food I ever had

shit almost made me cry

I can't even lie

[sick fable]

I am sitting at Havoc 22 and just want to reach 25.
Where do I find willing players who help me?
Theres no group finder Channel, thats why I ask.

[fair bridge]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum

those are the instructions for finding a group

[errant python]

just do a vox lfg channel of your region, join a VC, link the chat in your region, and type "LFG (this number of people) grinding havocs from 22"

[misty trench]

hell yeah

[errant python]

having some of one culture's food in Canada feels like that one Ratatouille scene where the critic tastes the food and gets a flashback of when he was a kid

[round mica]

rank 7 havoc yey

[tawny hearth]

i keep going to grind havocs then i get distracted making another meme or off meta build on scum

[round mica]

rampage scum is so fun but it kinda cheeks on havoc

desperado with the dual auto pistols go so hard

zooming around killin everyone is pretty fun

[tawny hearth]

honestly i only die as rampage scum when i dodge into a wall or off a cliff

as long as you do weird loops instead of circles while dodging you tend to avoid getting rogue overheads not meant for you... usually

[misty trench]

I die as rampage scum usually by eating a trap or smth lmao

or a wall yea

[tawny hearth]

yeah if a trapper snags you it can be insta death if someone doesn't get you instantly

[round mica]

i tend to get surrounded and dodges wont work cause i get stuck on enemies and that usually gets me killed or ranged enemies

but bleereh

[tawny hearth]

blackout nades tbh

but yeah you gotta watch trying to traverse hyper dense too much if you don't have blackout nades

[round mica]

tru

[tawny hearth]

all scum get punished pretty hard when they mess up enough but until you get punished you feel like superman

[nocturne bloom]

i woke up at 5pm yesterday

[round mica]

whenever i use rampage brain goes off and i spam light attacks and some heavy attacks here and there and when i wake up everyone around me is dead

kinda fun

[tawny hearth]

lol currently i'm goofing around with a double bleed blessing mk3 shiv build (the slashy "bad" shivs) and its really fun and actually good

i was trying to make a meme build but its better than i thought

[grand elk]

Scum is the most "You win when you are winning but you lose when you're losing" character in the game, does that make sense? The game can turn on a dime either way in 1 second

[round mica]

i had bleed on them as well bu changed blessings

[tawny hearth]

shivs are just so strong i was trying to make a memey build out of them... and the mk3 shivs i ended up liking because of their weird moveset

[round mica]

havent tried mk3 shivs

just mk 1

[tawny hearth]

they are... unique... like theres no easy access to stabs

[round mica]

would be fun if we could put up to 3 blessings on weapons

:3

[tawny hearth]

you either have to pushstab into holding a heavy input to gain access to the 2 handed thrust, or you have to do a weird push then normal attack rotation to access the light 3 and 4 quickly

lol 3 blessings would make some weapons suddenly game breaking

[misty trench]

I miss the VT1 days where you got 3 blessings and no talents

[errant python]

I think I'd like rampage juuuust a bit more if it didn't feel like I was being punished for my teammates doing well

[tawny hearth]

vt1 was such a mixed bag of good and "wait why is it like this?" more than any other tide game

[tawny hearth]

how do you feel punished by that?

[dull hamlet]

New ogryn weapons when?

[errant python]

because of exhaustion coming to bite me, it often feels like then "what am I using rampage for if the psyker is just going to instakill everything I was going for?"

[tawny hearth]

hasn't oggy recieved the most new weapons since launch? or am i dumb

[lusty estuary]

scum has like no room for error

if something goes wrong and you can't adapt you kinda just die

[nocturne bloom]

ok helldivers, new double barrel shotty in the shop is like dummy good

840 dam and med pen

[errant python]

Scum definitely has its moments but I feel like you only feel those moments when a psyker isn't coming to steal your thunder

[tawny hearth]

? its like... a tiny fraction of time where you can't push, its no longer than if you sprint to empty... if you're running 3x stam regen increases its zero downtime just a bonus 20% damage

[wicked nebula]

how do i tell if i got a good pull on my maccabian mkiv

[nocturne bloom]

(halo shotty is 605 and light pen tho??)

[grand elk]

I think you're in the wrong server (all good though)

[errant python]

yeah, the double freedom is a little broken

[nocturne bloom]

must be new here

[errant python]

however don't forget

double freedom has a long ass reload

[lusty estuary]

it was happening to me earlier where like i was doing fine for every game up until we did a maelstrom with waves of dogs, muties, and poxbursters and everything went wrong.

[errant python]

and only two shells

so halo shotty is still valid

[grand elk]

Don't chat much here

[nocturne bloom]

its all you need

[tawny hearth]

also maybe this is just the slayer main in me but like... yeah melee classes sometimes just play safety net, its the nature of being the coolest

[lusty estuary]

they finally just gave us the map spawn double barrel

it's like....

you can use it

[nocturne bloom]

double barrel + senator loadout goes hard

[errant python]

it's not just that, it's also the extra damage taken. ergo, why should I use rampage if the psyker is gonna kill everything for me? am I just effectively proccing for the debuff at that point?

[lusty estuary]

if you want to be the world's most ornery farmer then there you go

[tawny hearth]

for 2 seconds when everything is dead

[errant python]

because psykers have tons of uptime and can shit out DPS like they just had taco bell

[nocturne bloom]

DB + Revolver + Minigun

[tawny hearth]

lure overheads into the psyker, if they can dodge they can keep killing

[lusty estuary]

erm its maxigun actually.

[nocturne bloom]

im not calling it a feminine product gun

[errant python]

purposefully getting your teammates killed just so you can see results as scum is crazy but also kinda hilarious ngl

[lusty estuary]

why. not.

[tawny hearth]

if someone is abusing smyker or something i'll lure things behind them and get them hit

[tawny hearth]

its not so i can see results, its out of boredom, i do it on all classes

[lusty estuary]

it's all part of the class fantasy

[tawny hearth]

its easier on oggy with taunt to kill my smyker

if i can't kill them because they are aware enough then good on them

[lusty estuary]

absolute menace

they need to lock you up

[tawny hearth]

they dont' even have to be that aware, they just have to move some

[gilded socket]

Ough

[tawny hearth]

i don't actually get that many kills because its pretty rare for a pysker to be so over the top they are annoying me

[errant python]

I think I see the most results as rampage scum when there isn't a psyker

[tawny hearth]

and it takes forever to get things around the stunlock they'll do

[errant python]

but then again that probably applies to every class

[tawny hearth]

yeah

[lusty estuary]

if there's a psyker on the team usually you're just going to be one hand playing the game

[errant python]

I see the most results as psyker when there isn't a psyker

[lusty estuary]

well, if there's a good psyker on the team

[errant python]

🥀💔🕊️✌️

[lusty estuary]

some psykers play like somebody put their toddler on the keyboard

[tawny hearth]

me when i run full greed melee only pysker and see people expect me not to play like a crackhead

[sacred delta]

ppl will sell ur game and then say “lol ggs rip”

[errant python]

that's because that's the most skill you need for an ideal psyker build

my cat, who is orange, could play psyker

[lusty estuary]

WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOM

maybe we really do need to bully all psyker players forever...

[errant python]

I suggest we feed psyker players to the Emperor

[tawny hearth]

its sad because, outside of scum, psyker is one of the most fun melee experiences in the game and just... no one does it

[cunning warren]

this game runs like ass

[round mica]

just saw people on twitter call 2K and rpg game

[errant python]

yeah

Stingray Autodesk

[lusty estuary]

all sports games are rpgs if you think about it really hard

[tawny hearth]

the two modern stingray games require more cpu than gpu tbh, i think thats what snags alot of peole... also they never do well on super high fps

[wicked nebula]

all games are rpgs if you think even harder

[lusty estuary]

i'm thinking so hard it hurts

[round mica]

nil im going to punch you in the tummy if you dont shut up

[tawny hearth]

one of the first talks you'll have in a design class focused on gaming will be "if you get too lost in the weeds all games become RPGs so we need to keep a level head about genres"

[errant python]

it's usually just because flame psyker is right there and is the infinitely easier option

[lusty estuary]

for what porpoise

[tawny hearth]

yeah i wish people learned how to have fun outside of "easy success", i think the world would be a better place lol

[errant python]

yeah not everything is what it means

is that game good?

[fiery wave]

I see. Sus.

[minor elbow]

i wanna try it

[tawny hearth]

lol i don't even know enough about the mass effect 3 multiplayer to know if the joke is that it actually has extraction elements or that it has zero elements

[round mica]

CoD is the same as TCOAL but better?

[graceful hamlet]

You extract after 10-11 waves, with objectives every 3 waves

[round mica]

[graceful hamlet]

Also play it, you’ll still find a lobby

It’s peak

[tawny hearth]

i played it once waaaay back when i was a streamer and doing a runthrough of the trilogy but was burnt out after all 3 games so it was like 5 mins of it because the chat forced me to

[graceful hamlet]

It’s still one of the best ones imo

[round mica]

imagine being a streamer

[tawny hearth]

lol i was a streamer back when justintv was turning into twitch and wasn't even the most popular site

[lusty estuary]

mass efect 3 multiplayer is shockingly good for being one of those tacked on multiplayer modes from AAA games at the time

[graceful hamlet]

Running around as a Krogan, harpooning enemies to walls, headbutting dudes to death

[lusty estuary]

the only problem with it is the fucking loot crates

[round mica]

streaming is cringe

[graceful hamlet]

I honestly didn’t mind the loot crates being the main progression because it was so fun

[lusty estuary]

if you want to play as a batarian you must open my special crate.

[graceful hamlet]

Batarian Soldier my beloved

Wrist shotgun that fires exploding knives

[fiery wave]

If you like 10 FPS gaming.

[lusty estuary]

a batarian soldier walks into a room of enemies and in the end the room is gone

[tawny hearth]

honestly the most fun i had doing it was when we did charity streams and i had to learn speedrunning for them

[round mica]

thats nice akhsually

[graceful hamlet]

Batarian Sentinel is just RPing as the trapper from Darktide

[round mica]

10 FPS

[fiery wave]

I tried once. Lets just say, unless I'm playing old games... getting even 30 fps is hard.

[lusty estuary]

I completely fucking forgot about the battlefield 3 soldier character

god the armor is hysterical i fucking wish we had image perms in this channel

[round mica]

playing anything below 30 FPS is so bad
i get used to it after like 10 minutes of gameplay but its still so fuckin bad

[tawny hearth]

lol back when i streamed it was with a group of people, we did 24 hour streaming, but some of the folks couldn't do better than play nes games on their pcs at the time but people still enjoyed them

[lusty estuary]

I had a soft spot for the awakened collector adept even if i usually preferred playing soldier

[round mica]

having a pc that can actually run things at 100+ FPS and a 200hz monitor made me see FPS completely different

[lusty estuary]

it was a compelling character, like, thematically if nothing else

[tawny hearth]

i don't like fps over 30 tbh but i can deal with 60 if i need to

[fiery wave]

DT half the time lul.

[tawny hearth]

and like i've used high refresh rate things but i just want them to be 30fps again

[fiery wave]

Depends. Some ppl are there for the player, not the games.

[tawny hearth]

honestly if you are the streamer thats what you want, because you'll have a better community and you can change games and won't lose viewers lol

[fiery wave]

144hz monitor, but I only hit that fps on older games.

[round mica]

my pc runs darktide smoothly i just get cucked by fatsharts servers

[fair bridge]

i went outside and did an ISP rain dance

all is well

Humans can’t even see past 60 fps 🤓

i couldn't really give a shit about the algorithm because like every social media platform has a shitty algorithm

Still better than Twitter, which does all that and more.

At least the prequels had some good aspects. The sequels are just hot garbage with no redeeming factors

obviously they squandered that like immediately but if you close your eyes and dream we could live in a world where he wasn't just turned into a side character

I wouldn’t even argue that ngl. Like the whole premise of Force Awakens railroads everything to dogshitland

[astral laurel]

Don't be angry just cuz I'm right

[fair bridge]

andor was a great breath of fresh air

[tawny hearth]

honestly honestly? they're about on par with eachother with my favorite starwars movie now being the last jedi because the warp into another ship is 100% a star wars table top move that was a meme back in the early 2000s and only a true starwars nerd would pull that with the home one lmao. but yeah i grew up liking the og trilogy before the prequels and liked the prequels also

i liked the extended universe and alot of the disney universe stuff

lucas is the worst thing to happen to starwars tho

[graceful hamlet]

One hype aura moment doesn’t save the sequels

i should seriously give it another try

[tawny hearth]

his original cut of the movie wasn't good, his ex wife saved the first movie and then every one of the best starwars movies since the franchise started was made mostly without him, then he sold it to disney... so like.. its all Ls from lucas

[lusty estuary]

hey.

biggs darklighter was a treasure.

a TREASURE.

[graceful hamlet]

Nah, the prequels at least really fleshed out the world, gave us a great setting, and had its moments. The sequels took that world and then said “everyone is super stupid, fuck all those characters from the OG, and we’re gonna just blow it all up”

[round mica]

nil am i allowed to send you a frien request

[tawny hearth]

lol it used to be the popluar opinion to say lucas wasn't good for starwars, but times change

[fair bridge]

my initial bsky feed was full of furry fetish art and the only accounts i was following were star trek concept artists 😭

maybe it's fixed now

[round mica]

i got the exact reverse scenario and i was mad

Maybe if you didn't follow all the furry fetish artists/star trek fans it'd be different :>

You LITERALLY get out what you put in. You're telling on yourself here.

like, i have no problem with furry art at all. i follow some of those artists. this was heavy fetish stuff. like way outside the norm. super weird that it was on my feed

i can pull up my followed accounts now if you want? i don't know why you're being so defensive. it's really not that deep. i'm sorry we don't all universally like bluesky.

no but quite disturbing. i won't go into detail

bluesky isn't even a you get out what you put in type platform

this isn't tumblr

it has a for you page

fuck now im curious

[fair bridge]

i'm following 26 people on bluesky not including my boyfriend and the official bluesky account. none of them repost or have posted that kind of art that i was seeing on my feed initially

so yeah

[lusty estuary]

that's like a quarter of the reason it kind of sucks because it's twitter but if it wasn't owned by an apartheid freak

[astral laurel]

Also just a heads up everyone agrees that the Discover feed is garbage and not to use it

[lusty estuary]

Waow the proclamation arrives pre digested like a vitamin gummy of wisdom except it forgets dosage context metabolism and the small inconvenience of reality where opinions are not decorative plants but operational tools and saturation does not equal monoculture unless you flatten time scale intent and power into a single beige paste which is impressive but unhelpful.

The assumption smuggled in quietly is that exposure equals enrichment and that disagreement is nutritionally complete by default which is adorable because friction without shared axioms just produces heat noise and the kind of semantic foam people mistake for growth while nothing actually updates.

Also the word healthy here is doing CrossFit level labor hauling psychology sociology ethics and vibes in one rep without a spotter. Groups specialize. Minds specialize. Environments specialize. Pretending otherwise is like insisting every meal include every spice because diversity which sounds brave until you want something edible.

So yes plurality exists and no it is not a moral vitamin deficiency to temporarily cohere around aligned premises especially when the alternative is performative contradiction theater where nobody learns and everyone congratulates themselves for tolerating incoherence.

It is certainly possible to state that health as a concept operates across multiple layers including social exposure, cognitive stimulation, and the maintenance of internal consistency, which means that when one evaluates the idea of surrounding oneself with agreement, the evaluation itself depends on what is meant by surrounded, what is meant by exclusively, and what time horizon is being used to judge outcomes. In many cases people do not so much select identical opinions as they select environments that reduce friction, which can look similar from the outside but function quite differently in practice. Additionally, opinions are not static objects that remain unchanged when placed next to one another, they are context responsive and often internally contradictory, so the premise that a group shares exclusively the same views is usually an abstraction rather than a lived reality. From this angle, calling something unhealthy risks compressing a complex adaptive behavior into a moral shorthand, which may feel clarifying while actually obscuring the mechanisms involved. That does not mean variety has no value, only that value does not distribute evenly or automatically simply by increasing disagreement density. Sometimes divergence sharpens thinking, sometimes it degrades communication efficiency, and sometimes it just rearranges noise. The difficulty is that these outcomes often look identical in advance, which makes blanket prescriptions appealing but not especially precise.

Andor is very good, I recommend it to everyone, even people who aren't into star wars

it did peter off but i just really like the character work in general the show did for multiple groups in the lore

[tawny hearth]

given where it takes place it probably is one of the best entry points or just one offs for non fans yeah

[lusty estuary]

andor scratches an itch for me star wars had been building on my skin for years because star wars has always had the potential for biting political commentary that it usually either avoided or lost in getting really wrapped up in the fake space politics rather than the real life examples that influenced them and it's great

[misty trench]

Mando is flawed but it never really bothered me all that much because like, it's mostly meant to just be silly fun spaghetti western but in star wars

shit bro I'm playing through baldurs gate 1 again and the prerendered environments are beautiful

kotor just looks empty as shit

[lusty estuary]

it is

[tawny hearth]

the first game is a complete game, the second game is a bad case of "obsidian-itis" where it got rushed out the door before the geniuses could finish so its missing its ending literally... a mod kind of fixes it but its still a game without a real ending

i love both games but lets be honest about things

[lusty estuary]

well there's no denying that but I still think even without half of the shit that's supposed to be in the game I prefer kotor 2's narrative

[tawny hearth]

i actually agree with you, obsidian does amazing characters and that carries kotor2 and what makes the outer worlds games good

hell its even what made new vegas good

[graceful hamlet]

Also they’re both decently short games, you’ll probably only take 25 hours or so to beat the first one

[green beacon]

there's a point where graphics start and stop mattering
I honestly think modern AAA graphics are too much for marginal gains
but you'd be damned to make me sit through what
30 hours of kotor
with these graphics

[tawny hearth]

yeah whenever i play through them both its like 18 hours on kotor 1 and 25ish on kotor 2 if i'm not like... speed running them

[jaunty path]

do anyone got a good show

[round mica]

chat i went to go get monster on the fridge and there was none

i am considerin killing myself

[jaunty path]

I need a fun show to watch

[jaunty path]

[tawny hearth]

[round mica]

bao-dur save me...

[jaunty path]

uh which one

[graceful hamlet]

We’d get much more out of gaming if the devs didn’t have to sacrifice everything for graphics.

[round mica]

netflix show

[jaunty path]

Which one.

[round mica]

the good one

[green beacon]

8bit and other pixely stuff does look good but that's an art style that's aged well (at least into nostalgia)
when I play older 3d games I'm just reminded of how far we've progressed past those empty ahh environments and low quality textures
now that's an art style that hasn't aged well

[green beacon]

not my point but ok

[tawny hearth]

i blame crysis being a successful ad campaign for the cry engine

[round mica]

the one w/ 3 seaons

[jaunty path]

I see

[round mica]

actually itmoved to disney+ i forgor

[jaunty path]

found it I think

[round mica]

the one with charlie cox as an actor

its very pog

[lusty estuary]

lets all just watch a muppets christmas carol ten thousand times

[tawny hearth]

yeah i still think alot of those look good, the ones we thought were ugly back then i still think are ugly but when played at the correct resolution (so like max 720) in a window old 3d games can still look great

[round mica]

3rd season is kinda mid compared to the last ones except for the last episode

1 is peak

[wintry steeple]

so sad he got shot or whatever

[green beacon]

I don't think it's making it past "passable" for me tbh

[gilded socket]

When tf did i do that

[graceful hamlet]

Meanwhile Dwarf Fortress out here doing crazy shit without actual graphics

[tawny hearth]

i get you, but do you think jade empire still looks bad? its a very similar game but alot prettier for the most part

[round mica]

lmfao

[tawny hearth]

like wondering where the line is lol

[graceful hamlet]

Well I guess they have graphics now but details

[round mica]

tried to get into dwarf fortress and i thought i was going insane

[wintry steeple]

thats normal

[green beacon]

it def looks worse quality than what I'm used to

[tawny hearth]

thats step 1 yeah

[gilded socket]

I am not a zionist shill, i will always promote interracial lesbian cooking videos

[tawny hearth]

dorf fort is... not even an aquired taste, you need to square up and beat the taste into submission... but once you do? its great

[wintry steeple]

huh

[round mica]

i really tried to but i couldnt get to it

[gilded socket]

I am not a shill

[round mica]

i think if i played league itwould be better

[green beacon]

like I've played old ahh games I just don't enjoy those old 3d graphics

[graceful hamlet]

Pretty sure playing league makes every other game feel like a better game to play

[wintry steeple]

tbh most of my time playing DF has been on adventurer mode

[green beacon]

desert bus

[tawny hearth]

its the memories that make them easier to see as good looking i think, them looking how i remember is a good thing... i actually find some 3d remakes offputting (but some are done really well like spyro)

[graceful hamlet]

Graphics really don’t bother me as long as the game is interesting.

[green beacon]

literally I was born in 2007 I don't have that nostalgia

[drowsy prawn]

I marathoned DF this one week

it ruined me

[green beacon]

id like to say that but there's a point where I literally cannot stand it

[graceful hamlet]

Skill issue

[green beacon]

bro what the hell

[wintry steeple]

slap farm animals until you become a legendary swordsdwarf then go around lopping bits off of goblins
now that's a compelling gameplay loop

[tawny hearth]

yeah i get you, its basically what i was saying, its why i said that i'm glad i have memories of video games going so far back in their history because it allows me to still see some of those less perfect things as good looking still

[graceful hamlet]

Mount and Blade Warband is peak

[lusty estuary]

i can usually tolerate old graphics but old control schemes can be a nightmare for me sometimes

[green beacon]

I have ts on my steam wishlist

[nocturne bloom]

edf:

[tawny hearth]

(i actually really prefer bannerlord, without mods at least)

[lusty estuary]

some of my absolute favorite games are archaic to control but they're all real time strategy games so it comes with the territory

hostile waters antaeus rising.

[graceful hamlet]

me going back to play the OG Dawn of War and the camera controls use the arrow keys

[tawny hearth]

every time i've gone back and played system shock or thief i am disapointed in the devs who made those games just because of the controls

[graceful hamlet]

I haven’t tried Bannerlord yet

[lusty estuary]

that's the one thing that doesn't get me thankfully i'm just so used to it

fuck i gotta get on bannerlord

[lethal socket]

I wish we would get a Tau titanfall game

[lusty estuary]

NEW T'AU GAME TOMORROW TRUST

[graceful hamlet]

I play the Star Wars overhaul mod on Warband. It’s great.

[uneven ermine]

Tauanfall

[graceful hamlet]

Tau supremacy 💪

[lethal socket]

Amd fatshark should add a fire caste warrior class just for me

:3

[graceful hamlet]

Fr tho

[vague lance]

So...I just completed Deadeye penance, which is related to "Volley Fire" skill which seems to be a deprecated word for the Infiltrate ability which...I wasnt using...OK then XD

[lusty estuary]

santionced xenos t'au pathfinder PUHLEEASE

I NEED A PULSE CARBINE!!!

[tawny hearth]

outside of a few things its pretty much just more mount and blade but with most QOL things baked into vanilla and just more systems to play with (and a better stat system if you ask me)... there are less mods but thats only because warband is so old

[lethal socket]

PLEASE FATSHARK PLEASEEE

[lusty estuary]

ETHEREALS SAAAVE US

[tawny hearth]

but like.. warband is still a peak game tbh

[lusty estuary]

warband is really good

but like i don't ever really play it unmodded anymore

[tawny hearth]

oh yeah unmodded its kind of butt

[graceful hamlet]

Speaking of Warband, Battle Brothers is also pretty peak if you like hex based strategy battles and Xcom permadeath/injuries

[lusty estuary]

i put in my time in the mines.

[lethal socket]

EWWWWWW

Death penalty

[lusty estuary]

get a load of this farsights enclave fan...

[lusty estuary]

when my friends in the water caste find you it's OVER

[lethal socket]

I wanna passionately make out with an oiled up farsight!

[tawny hearth]

i keep thinking of finally playing that game lol, i recently got super into X4 when looking at both games a bit ago cause they were both on sale and ended up picking X4

[lethal socket]

(My tau OC and her husband are enclavers)

[lusty estuary]

t'au'va please let me talk to you

[lusty estuary]

thank you for reminding me to buy battle brothers...

[graceful hamlet]

It’s fun. Nothing like going to clear a bandit camp, only to find out it’s a zombie camp and losing half your mercenary Warband.

And then the orc invasion hits

[gilded socket]

Zombies on your lawn is peak zombie music shut the fuck up

[lusty estuary]

hey.

[tawny hearth]

i do enjoy myself a bit of an orc invasion

[lusty estuary]

i think cube land is better

[tawny hearth]

[lethal socket]

Do you think Rannick would play Umamusume?

[lusty estuary]

rannick wouldn't

morrow would

[lethal socket]

I can see it. Morrow would play Umamusame

[lusty estuary]

morrow has nothing else to do all day he's always playing games on his pad
