[twin flower]

ayo, no diddy

[fiery wave]

That's pretty low in all consideration though?

[twin flower]

diddy no diddling

[misty trench]

so 000 would work?

[twin flower]

What kinda phone number is that

Oh right, youre western

[misty trench]

nono you don't understand, anything below or over that exact number I'm not doing

[misty trench]

emergency services in Australia xdd

[fiery wave]

Still though.

[trim yacht]

morality is an inherently manmade construct and something you are taught, inevitably there will be people who are (subjectively described as) morally bankrupt

[misty trench]

I'm cheap I suppose

I know what it's like to be financially unstable so I'm easily bought lmao

[trim yacht]

rather i would say that humans can do anything if they can justify it

[earnest oyster]

screenshotted, printed out, framed

[fiery wave]

In a way. You see it all the time in adverts and such.

[earnest oyster]

you will receive a call on a rainy day in 20 years

XD

[misty trench]

you better be adjusting for inflation in that case lmao

[trail bramble]

some days you just really really need 2000 dollars

[fiery wave]

I know the feel. Just though it might be higher.

[fiery wave]

Well, for enough money, most will.

[earnest oyster]

shit

XD

[sweet wraith]

I have moral boundaries that can only be climbed over with an extremely fat stack of cash

[earnest oyster]

it was gonna be a gotcha

you're smart

[fiery wave]

Or really want $50.

[rancid shore]

sup

[trim yacht]

i would say that something being ethical, moral, etc could be described as said something being "something without repercussions that matter" (mattering again being subjective)

or with the ascribed value outweighing any perceived downsides

so yes if they really like money or just dont care what happens as a cost of them getting something they like

[fiery wave]

Best way to put it is, how much for you to kill someone.

[trim yacht]

etc

[arctic escarp]

[delicate vapor]

4th beer ofd the nightjh

[twin flower]

[arctic escarp]

[twin flower]

why is always kill someone f or monie tho

[fiery wave]

People well off will usually say an insanely high number, but someone desperately in need might do it just for the wallet of the random person.

[misty trench]

I mean I don't expect anyone to actually offer me a large sum of money for something that would compromise my ethics or principles

[trim yacht]

humans are bundles of perspective and contradiction

[fiery wave]

Who knows really.

[misty trench]

actual cost would depend on what I'm being asked to do and why

[trim yacht]

i think anyone in the world could be brought to compromise their ethics/principles if put in the right conditions

[twin flower]

would you let a random man do the freaky with you for money

[misty trench]

is he hot?

[earnest oyster]

is he hot

[twin flower]

lets go with no?

[trim yacht]

big example being the simple dillema of "kill or die"

[arctic escarp]

is he hot

[fiery wave]

Is normal, starve someone half to death and I'll bet they'll eat just about anything barely edible.

[trim yacht]

yeah exactly

[misty trench]

then I'll direct you to my price of $127,942.86

[trim yacht]

i dont mean to say that like its a bad thing

[earnest oyster]

in any case i'll prob just get drunk and fk it i guess we ball man

[trim yacht]

(bad again being subjective. ha)

[twin flower]

Wait then what if he was hot then

[arctic escarp]

I would smash

[misty trench]

5% discount

[arctic escarp]

or get smashed whatever

[earnest oyster]

maybe he's a switch and he's a bottom

[twin flower]

[earnest oyster]

im going to pound town

[misty trench]

tbh I'd sooner start up an onlyfans

anyway luckily I am not financially unstable atm

[civic otter]

The Imam here has advised me to not partake in any of this

[earnest oyster]

tbh i'd rather get freaky with a millionaire than go to shady airbnb

that's just me man

[trim yacht]

the part of philosophy and ethics that i like is that i think many would find themselves completely Justified™ if they were the one in the position of desperation

[civic otter]

Watching me with a sniper from the mosque

[earnest oyster]

hotels are nicer than airbnbs anyway

[misty trench]

someone should pay me obscene amounts of money to relax and enjoy life tbhtbh

[earnest oyster]

no hidden camera and hidden rooms

and spiked milk in fridge

[civic otter]

Clearly you haven't tried recruiting homeless people for quests

[fiery wave]

Yeah. You can really tell who is more desperate even for less extreme things.

[trim yacht]

the concept of "more desperate" is awesome

I LOVE RELATIVISM YEAHHHH

[civic otter]

And yet there still exist people who never would

[fiery wave]

If only...

[twin flower]

[civic otter]

In my country for example we have a tradition that's still standing after hundreds of years called "bes", when someone swears x thing on their bes they must keep it until death

[drowsy prawn]

people strip barks off all trees, then they go for mud, then they trade babies 🤷

[fiery wave]

I mean, some would queue for 24 hours for you in bad weather over $100.

[earnest oyster]

but you only have 7 years to live

[civic otter]

One pack of cigarettes and a bottle of jack daniels

[earnest oyster]

take it or leave it

[civic otter]

They will come

[civic otter]

Make it 3 and it's a deal

[trim yacht]

i think the root cause of being able to consider your own existentiality evil is something neurological

major depressive disorder and whatnot

[hushed cipher]

fs servers are horrible today. Or maybe it's just me

[trim yacht]

just in a more gradient-y way

[earnest oyster]

you're being feisty so now it's 12 months and a loved one is being a hostage

[fiery wave]

7 years of obscene indulgences?

[civic otter]

I think i'll rip you in half now

[fiery wave]

Sounds better than 30 years of suffering into homlessness.

[earnest oyster]

but you get as much as Jeff Bezos gets tho

[misty trench]

inventing a novel calendar system so 7 years is actually multiple centuries

[civic otter]

I meant more so in the sense of not giving into despration despite the situation. Some people really would rather die with their morals. It used to be very common where i live as a matter of fact

[trim yacht]

"higher thought" (whatever you want to consider that) isnt enough i think

[earnest oyster]

brb inventing time machine

[fiery wave]

Naw, just perma chronic depression and pessimism.

[trim yacht]

yeah i just meant that as a tangential thing, in the sense of justifying something there are (as you said) many many many historical records of someone considering death to be More Gooder than another action that would let them live

[earnest oyster]

Peak Slaneshi

[fiery wave]

Not a secret.

[arctic escarp]

monkey paw, the excess you do is obsessively trying to write the perfect fanfiction

[trim yacht]

its fun to wander into a discussion about morality at 6 am cause i am turbo dosed on serotonin rn

like i think i could play devils advocate for any conceivable thing rn

i am TOO HAPPY!

too much whimsy

[drowsy prawn]

HERE WE GO

[civic otter]

I believe that's tied more to duty and responsibility than anything personal really. You're not doing it for yourself, for the most part. At least here you weren't, it was done to not tarnish the name of your family, and present your lineage with strength and honour

[fiery wave]

I kinda already do. If you consider roleplay to a degree.

[fiery wave]

I can see both sides of things.

[trim yacht]

theres also the aspect of it being the only conceivable option depending on worldview of the individual

[twin flower]

is it getting spoicy in here

[fiery wave]

@misty trench Is this really allowed? On top of him literally talking of doing things?

[trim yacht]

self preservation as the #1 priority is very unlearnable

[blazing ibex]

what the fuck

[drowsy prawn]

see you gotta keep that shit classy, now you've done it

[arctic escarp]

im bouta witness a kidnapping today

[civic otter]

Of course. But it's also how society worked back then

[cosmic ridge]

whatthehell is going on here

[civic otter]

You don't do this you ruin your entire lineage's order

[trim yacht]

yeah theres that too

[civic otter]

It's a great responsibility

But i believe it was a good thing

[delicate vapor]

MORE ALCOHOLL

[civic otter]

Because it made us extremely unflinching

[delicate vapor]

[feral vessel]

it's that thing

again

[twin flower]

chaooss

[delicate vapor]

what do you mean

[feral vessel]

I have a sticker of Doro on my door.

[delicate vapor]

thing

[feral vessel]

I cannot escape it

[fiery wave]

Depends. Some mothers would sacrifice themselves for their child. Not all though.

[feral vessel]

And pray do tell what else it is?

[delicate vapor]

[trim yacht]

i think the same mother doing vs not doing could be up to perspective at the time of choice

in a coincidental way

[drowsy prawn]

Finally, I get to witness a kill in action 😌

[civic otter]

Of course. But these are common moral standards which transcend subjectivity

[delicate kite]

Guys guys guys

Who has more rizz
Tox Bomber vs Scab Bomber

[stuck wasp]

Scab

[civic otter]

Trapper

[fiery wave]

True, decisions made, but have to be without regrets.

[twin flower]

Falling for a Heretic? Blasphemous

[misty trench]

second one of the day for me

[wheat sphinx]

What was the ban reason

I just came

[misty trench]

nothing special, dude being an edgy clown

[blazing ibex]

just a weirdo

[wheat sphinx]

Ah

As usual in Warhammer

[civic otter]

Nah that was just random blabbering

[fiery wave]

Best way to put it, guy thinks with his lower half.

[wheat sphinx]

Same man, same.

[fiery wave]

Which exactly, up to you.

[feral vessel]

what's the mod that highlights the radius in which the daemonhost is alerted, again?

[civic otter]

Warhammer stuff go more like this

joins red scorpions community chapter
look at company divisions
1st company veterans "white power"
jolly.

[feral vessel]

slightly tired of randomly triggering a DH because I dared step a centimeter too close

[twin flower]

[ripe tangle]

I’m sorry what?

[misty trench]

some folk out here really have anti-social tendencies

[twin flower]

Warhammer communities are weird bruh

[thick coyote]

Scab 100%

[delicate kite]

Bomber moving to position

[wheat sphinx]

"THOU AST COWARDS!"

[delicate kite]

SOMEONE ASKED FOR A BOMB

[civic otter]

To add some context red scorpions are a chapter that value genetic purity and see the rest as subhuman, so you can imagine the correlation

[thick coyote]

Probably Danger Zone

[wheat sphinx]

runs away

[delicate kite]

But like

[feral vessel]

Yeah that one, found it already.

[fiery wave]

Mixed like anime. You get the okay and chill ones and you get those that should have stayed in that niche place with others like them.

[delicate kite]

Bombers have cool pimp run animation

[ripe tangle]

soooooo are they just larping the Waffen SS as an Astartes Chapter or some cringe shit like that?

[thick coyote]

It's really funny to hear a Tox Bomber go "come out, wherever you are" just to see it go into hiding

[twin flower]

I think so far DT is pretty chill

[civic otter]

That's what the fanbase turned it into, in actual lore they just hate anything mutant/alien and value their geneseed/apothecaries (still kinda close)

[feral vessel]

it is most unfortunate that 40k seems to attract the worst sort of people (usually the sort that are incapable of understanding that the entire fucking setting is supposed to be a satire of extermism)

[twin flower]

I hanged around SM2 back then it was alright, nothing like your usual warhammer discord kekw

[civic otter]

Thou art cowards! Runs away like a cat

[ripe tangle]

a shame

[fiery wave]

Naw, most of THOSE got banned already.

[twin flower]

Most of what

[delicate vapor]

[twin flower]

The so called "chuds"?

why are they called that btw

[civic otter]

Sm2 is chill but ngl rules are too strict so you only get warhammer shorts lore larping as a result half the time

[delicate vapor]

idk sounds funny

[civic otter]

It also doesnt help that the avg sm2 player is genuinely servitorised when it comes to playing the game so they spread misinfo there 24/7

[feral vessel]

'chad' and 'stud' fused together

[twin flower]

I mean yeah but I just see people throw it around to warhammer fans specifically lmao

[feral vessel]

a stud that thinks they're a chad

I think, I didn't hang around long enough to witness the creation of that word.

[fossil oasis]

I thought a stud was something good to be called?

[thick coyote]

"Deny THIS!" 🗣️

[civic otter]

[thick coyote]

"DUCK!"

[feral vessel]

I don't know, I've always heard it in a negative light.

[thick coyote]

🦆

[twin flower]

I thought it was more degradetory as well

[twin dirge]

Stud is both

[twin flower]

"chud"

[civic otter]

Stud is fairly positive for your stereotypical masculine role

[ripe tangle]

oh dann

[astral basin]

I missed another aquila hammering?

F

[ripe tangle]

I couldnt say what I thought about the word Chud

[twin flower]

Dont F

Dude was weird

[fossil oasis]

My friend named their biker gang AlphaChudChud

In GTA

[twin flower]

What does it mean tho

[timid geyser]

I wonder if its still the stink of that one guy dressing up like a certain german ww2 faction to an event.

[ripe tangle]

it rhymes with a word that sounds like Toad but with a Ch sound at the beginning

[timid geyser]

and it going viral

[misty trench]

Chud is often used by people as a stand-in for a nazi or nazi-like individual

[ripe tangle]

a word I cant say here apparently

[twin flower]

well zamn

[ripe tangle]

anyway Chud sounds like an insult to me because of what it rhymes with

[astral basin]

Lucia talking about dongs guys

[timid geyser]

Grug

[fiery wave]

I feel like it's used sarcastically.

[misty trench]

but like, you can apply it generally to any given edgy individual that has points of view that are inherently gross

[fossil oasis]

I thought chud was just one of those wojak guys

[feral vessel]

yeah that specifically

the stereotype

[fossil oasis]

Why are they called Wojaks

[twin flower]

[feral vessel]

as a whole, too

[civic otter]

This reminded, my friend who knows nothing of warhammer calling my krieg commissar an SS captain. Fair game i guess 😭

[feral vessel]

the style of meme is called a wojak
then there's soyjaks, of which the chud is a part of

[twin flower]

idk I just know the meme is called wojak

[feral vessel]

depending on how you look at it

[timid geyser]

I mean they kind of look like one x-x

[fossil oasis]

Yeah but where did the name Wojak come from

Woe is Jack, idk

[misty trench]

poland, probably

idk

[timid geyser]

The uniform mostly is what gives the vibe.

[fiery wave]

RIP.

[civic otter]

That is tr00... good drip, what can i say (DYING to find an authentic old trench coat)

[timid geyser]

The drip is good

[fossil oasis]

Oh btw chat

[twin flower]

huh

[fossil oasis]

My dad bought me brushes for painting minis from temu

[twin flower]

Wojak actually means soldier in polish?

[fiery wave]

Look, their drip just drippy. Can't lie even if one hates what they did.

[fossil oasis]

The bad guys always end up with the best uniforms

[civic otter]

Can't blame em. As the local black templars and krieg player the stereotypes are something i have accepted to handle

[astral basin]

There was discourse in the vtuber community bc of that exact statement

[fossil oasis]

It's the aesthetic of evil I suppose

[civic otter]

I am

So disconnected

From vtubers

And social media drama

[timid geyser]

Jafar with his eyeliner

[civic otter]

I wouldnt know

[delicate vapor]

YOU

[fossil oasis]

They're literally not based on WW2 nazis tho.... they're literally WW1 inspired

[twin flower]

I get my news from people in the circle lmao

[delicate vapor]

[dire crane]

I need to be able to pet the dogs in this game

[fossil oasis]

Steel Legion are meant to be the nazi look-a-likes

[twin flower]

You can as an Arbite

I think?

[fossil oasis]

Yes you can

[fiery wave]

That and people can't separate the player from the factions they like... probs cos the avg fan of those are like... YEAH...

[timid geyser]

Anyone not fimilar with the history wont matter itll go to what they think it looks like.

[fossil oasis]

And there's a penance for it

[civic otter]

Yeah. As for steel legiom though, ngl krieg ended up being closer xd

[fiery wave]

Pay to pet your own puppo.

[civic otter]

Exactly. It's a shame, but i know what the fandom is like for both

[astral basin]

Unfortunately
One or two of the youtubers i used to watch
Swapped to media drama content
And they still pop in my feed from time to time

[fossil oasis]

Also anyone not familiar with Warhammer as a whole because Steel Legion have basically been forgotten by GW

[civic otter]

RIP

[thick coyote]

Giving more penance points than some of the hardest penances as well

[twin flower]

[timid geyser]

Its how games like Call of duty get away with a lot of Cold war/vietnam rewriting and Afgan rewriting of history.

[twin flower]

I get reminded of Wolfenstein for some reason

[fossil oasis]

I kinda disagree tbh. The big Krieg Greatcoats are more like WW1 trench jackets, the blue is more like the French uniform of the time and i'm pretty sure the gas mask is based on french of british designs. I think the helmet might be the only german thing about them

[timid geyser]

Vietnam is funny cause a lot of vietnam movies were goverment funded so there a lot of propaganda in them, And black ops ripped A LOT of scenes from vietnam movies.

[fiery wave]

Really bad in general, still should consider people individually first.

[twin flower]

I mena pretty much everything nowadays is a ripoff from another thing

[molten matrix]

Hows it going with my favourite primaris fan

[timid geyser]

Have you ever played Kingdom hearts?

[misty trench]

I mean call of duty is specifically built to push proapganda

[arctic escarp]

tis a shame

[fossil oasis]

How many is it worth? I forget since like it's been a while since i've looked at arby penances

[timid geyser]

They have to since they get goverment funding for the weapons and shi.

Even tho they still got sued for a fucking jeep XD

[arctic escarp]

the DoD working closely with the cod devs to push out propaganda

[fiery wave]

'Murican propaganda?

[fossil oasis]

Humvee not Jeep

They also got sued for certain aircraft too

[astral basin]

Sensationalist media
Remember guys
If you think you know something
Someone will eventually know a lot more
Stay humble.

[fossil oasis]

Think it was a Huey they got sued for

[arctic escarp]

ok someone deadass is mic spamming Plants vs Zombies music in TF2 rn 💀

[timid geyser]

Battlefield got sued for a helicopter

[fossil oasis]

Oh yeah that was it

[timid geyser]

The Huey

[fossil oasis]

Battlefield got sued for a heli, not cod

Yeah

[fiery wave]

Counter spam.

[timid geyser]

And its never been in a battlefield since XD

[twin flower]

Nah

[civic otter]

Good bb, how're the superior firstborn models coming along? 💋

[misty trench]

yeah it's why games use fake vehicles and fake gun designations and kinda off modelling

avoids legal issues

[bronze wren]

Warthunder

[timid geyser]

Kingdom hearts 3 has this cutscene where they legit 1 for 1 recreate let it go in unreal engine.

For idk the bit

[arctic escarp]

i dont got good music

[arctic escarp]

legally distinct AK

[misty trench]

they haven't been sued yet, somehow

[fiery wave]

Doesn't matter, NOISE WAR GO.

[fossil oasis]

Crazy how Ace Combat actually pays for licensing for all it's aircraft

[timid geyser]

But CoD basically does the same thing with the russian roulette scene with woods. its a 1 for 1 recreation of a movie scene but with CoD characters XD.

[bronze wren]

Wait really? I thought they had a case before

[fossil oasis]

Well tbh, a lot of the companies for the older tanks probably aren't around anymore, or some other company owns the copyright on it and doesn't know

[misty trench]

did they? I hadn't heard if so

ik they get a lot of classified documents leaked onto their foums but beyond that idk

[bronze wren]

Mightve just been the people that leaked the classified documents tho

[timid geyser]

also no actualy documentation of american POWs being required to play russian roulette.

[fossil oasis]

Also you can legally use military designations for stuff and have it look identical because it's government property I believe

[bronze wren]

Idk tbh

[fiery wave]

Or doesn't care enough for less known stuff.

[misty trench]

this is true, but this also applies to a lot of stuff in CoD and BF, including the things they were getting sued over

but they opted to switch anyway and avoid the headache entirely

[timid geyser]

Its honestly why CoD has just said fuck it and made fake versions of everything.

[knotty terrace]

anyone else find brahms annoying?

[timid geyser]

Literally solved the issue even if it will piss the fanbase off

[fossil oasis]

Yeah, but they did win the Humvee case though which is why I find it weird

[misty trench]

because getting sued is time consuming and expensive, even if you win

[timid geyser]

but most CoD fans rarely even touch guns or are gun nuts so they dont notice XD

[delicate vapor]

[timid geyser]

in a coporations eyes why chance it

[civic otter]

Compared to the average ARMA player they are coughing baby vs nuclear bomb

[astral basin]

Lets not forget world of tanks players leaking classified schematics

[delicate vapor]

cod fans when squad and arma fans walk in the room

[astral basin]

Warthunder?

[misty trench]

warthunder, yea

[somber stream]

War Thunder

World of Tanks player are busy chewing on crayon

[twin flower]

crayon good

[astral basin]

Tasty

[fossil oasis]

Ngl I really like Arma 3's MX rifle series. That was designed in part by a real rifle manufacturer too and has their logo on the weapon

[twin flower]

I saved you the red one

[astral basin]

Red bad. Want blue

[fiery wave]

Ppl just wanna shoot things.

[timid geyser]

I am one of thouse people

[twin flower]

blue mine

[timid geyser]

bo7 is fucking fun

[fossil oasis]

I kinda wish Bohemia Interactive where stickin with the near-future world they created for Arma 3 in the next Arma game tbh but they're going back to the cold war

[timid geyser]

I will wall jump snipe you in the face

and it will be fun for me

[misty trench]

I haven't touched CoD in years and feel zero desire to do so tbh

[twin flower]

I like slow paced shooters better

Insurgency was so goated back then

[fiery wave]

I mean, if it's a brand deal agreement, not an issue.

[timid geyser]

My wife is a casual FPS fan and most advanced shooters are harder for her.

[misty trench]

I do kinda miss OG MW2 and WaW but those are long gone

[timid geyser]

CoD strikes a nice balance

and also the girl skins are cute

[fiery wave]

Why some don't care and some just mod it if they are ass about it.

[misty trench]

I played CoD ww2 for a while and had a blast with that but yea, I'm pretty done with the series

[modern bobcat]

Last COD I played was CoD 2

in 2005

[misty trench]

crazy

[timid geyser]

WE just buy the current pink skin go into lobbies kill people and teabag them

[twin flower]

they milking it too much

[misty trench]

I was playing uhhh, star wars battlefront 2 in 2006

[timid geyser]

shit talk in post game chat

[twin flower]

I never got the appeal of cod pvp imma be honest

[modern bobcat]

COD2 multiplayer bck then was pretty fun

and you didn't have ridiculous TTK shenanigans

[timid geyser]

its brain dead and you can atually leave the game without issue.

[modern bobcat]

Battlefield Vietnam was also incredibly fun multiplayer

[timid geyser]

This shit changes every year XD

[fiery wave]

Is gud gaem if it's the OG.

[astral basin]

[twin flower]

i mean its pretty funny watching it

[astral basin]

My blye

[timid geyser]

MwII had a fast TTK

[twin flower]

"i shoot better than you so i can talk shit and teabag you"

[timid geyser]

then The TTK got buffed in MWIII

[twin flower]

[timid geyser]

Drop a 100 kill lobby on shipment 5 shots of vodka in

thats cod

[astral basin]

Fuuuuuck you guys pullin out years there were in my toddler life

[timid geyser]

thats why I play it

[twin flower]

Wild

I mean if thats what people do for fun ig

[misty trench]

yee the OG ofc, I still play it actually

[timid geyser]

and once I stop havign fun I legit can just leave the lobby and there no leave penalty

no nothing

i get a loss on my win/loss ratio and I can just queue for another game

[twin flower]

my most experience in competetive shooters was stuff like insurgency

[timid geyser]

So when my daughter decides that ketchup needs to be all over the kitchen im not taking a fucking 15 minute queue ban q.q

fucking league

[twin flower]

gun play was fun, need to keep count on ammo, and stray bullets can actualy kill you

[timid geyser]

Insurgency was cool

[twin flower]

hella cool

[misty trench]

I play sandstorm every now and then

[twin flower]

holding a point where everyones primary ammo was out, we all switched to pistols

[timid geyser]

Im just one of the weird girls who liked advanced warfare

[twin flower]

and held out til we just died slowly

goated

[timid geyser]

and black ops 3

and infinite warfare.

movement CoD was peak I miss it v.v

glad im getting a small taste of it with bo7

[fiery wave]

Worth. Better than the dog dook remakes.

[twin flower]

[timid geyser]

I like the remake

beautiful game

[astral basin]

I miss halo reach

[timid geyser]

Maps are super fun

gunplay is pretty casual

I played the OGs as well

never online sadly

even had the PSP version XD

but the BF2 remake just its so pretty and so fun XD

[twin flower]

I think shooters i come back to is like Deep Rock atm

and Deathwing

[fossil oasis]

It's fun but the OG game is way better imo

[twin flower]

cuz I love terminators

[fossil oasis]

I like modding classic BF2 tbh

[fiery wave]

Keeps getting Labour of Love stolen from them though.

[misty trench]

for me rn it's really just Sandstorm, DT and like sometimes I'll do some BF2

[twin flower]

Real

[misty trench]

otherwise I'm playing mostly non-shooters

[twin flower]

I havent seen much news about Sandstorm

is it good

[misty trench]

oh and I guess I play warframe too but that's not an FPS

[twin flower]

theres a discount on it atm so I was thinking about it

[fossil oasis]

Yeah I think it's crazy how BG3 got Labour of Love this year tbh

[fiery wave]

Annoying much.

[misty trench]

it's fun imo, the PvP is aight and there's a PvE mode too

[twin flower]

Hmmmm

Choices choices

[timid geyser]

low to high in the 1000s

[misty trench]

TTK is very low and there's a lot of weapons to choose from

[fiery wave]

I'm like, are you serious every single year. Because I literally always vote DRG for it.

[twin flower]

whats TTK again

[timid geyser]

So its not dead but you might struggle depending on your area

time to kill

[astral basin]

Time to kill

[twin flower]

[timid geyser]

Dam

[twin flower]

I do miss it, but I havent done any competetive shooters in a while

[timid geyser]

darktide averaged 11k players on steam in the last 30 days

[twin flower]

I dont got it in me no moe

[astral basin]

Haha mobile thumbs beat the keyboard captain

[timid geyser]

you like 40?

[fossil oasis]

Yeah exactly, like i'm sure BG3 and No Mans Sky are great but they do not need another one labour of love when they already have one

[twin flower]

no I just growingly dislike anything competetive now

[fiery wave]

Gotta factor in consoles as well, well, those that have crossplay on.

[twin flower]

I had enough of that when I spent abyssmal hours back in League and another MMO

[timid geyser]

Mhmmm

idk league and MMO pvp play is really different from FPS pvp play

[twin flower]

Leaning more into SP or Coop

[timid geyser]

especially if you pick up a more casual fps game

[fiery wave]

Yep. Honestly, ppl only see big name stuff...

[fossil oasis]

Pretty much

[fiery wave]

Know the feel tbh.

[twin flower]

Idk, any FPS with PvP on it to me doesnt feel casual anymore

[timid geyser]

im a casual pvp player

its just mindset

sometimes you get your ass kicked by people better.

..shrugs.. happens

[twin flower]

Yeah, its just not for me anymore

[timid geyser]

Just gotta do your best next game

[twin flower]

Its fine with my mates

[fossil oasis]

I like the steam awards more than the game awards but the voting is overwhelmingly towards the common gamer (like someone who only plays whatever is popular)

[twin flower]

But I dont think competetive games are something I would play willingly on my own

[misty trench]

honestly I wish there were more high intensity co-op PvE shooters

[twin flower]

unless its with people

[twin flower]

If its this I dont mind

[fossil oasis]

Play GTFO

[twin flower]

PvE for the win

[timid geyser]

Bonk simulator

[twin flower]

Oh shit GTFO

forgot that was around

[fossil oasis]

I have heard barely anyone has beaten that game

[timid geyser]

I got tired of stealth bonking people

[fossil oasis]

Like less than 1% of even the top players globally

[twin flower]

was actually thinking of getting that or Ready or Not

[misty trench]

GTFO I like but it's pretty unorthodox to the point I have trouble labelling it a shooter even though it technically/literally is a shooter

[astral basin]

I want to play gtfo
But its. Low prio for me

[timid geyser]

Ive played it q.q

[fiery wave]

Yep. Game award was CO:E33 nearly everything or unknown likely paid for console thing.

[misty trench]

I meant more like, I wish there were more high intensity co-op PvE shooters that operated as traditional shooters

[timid geyser]

sneak around and bonk dudes cause going loud gets you killed

[misty trench]

GTFO is very cool for sure tho

but man it's demanding in terms of focus

[timid geyser]

Yeah

espeically the bigger dudes during stealth sections

[fossil oasis]

Exactly. E33 did not deserve all those fucking awards

[fiery wave]

So more L4D?

[twin flower]

DT is like my new L4D ngl

[fossil oasis]

Could always try Back 4 Blood, see if they've made that good yet

[misty trench]

hmmm nah something where the bad guys aren't zombies

[twin flower]

Prolly not

[fiery wave]

Like, give them GOTY but let others win other catagories.

[misty trench]

they gave up on it so I doubt it

[twin flower]

Wasnt there that one Post Apocolyptic one

[dire crane]

SM2?

[twin flower]

Uhh, forgot the name

[timid geyser]

mycopunk?

[misty trench]

I do have that, I should try it

[fossil oasis]

Yeah exactly, although I don't think they deserve GOTY either

[fiery wave]

They did nothing to it imo. Lul.

[dire crane]

Its fun, i personally enjoy the intensity and style of DT but I wouldnt hate trying to get back into it

[fiery wave]

Shush.

[astral basin]

I. Dont really view space marine 2 as a shooter
Its more melee focused than darktide

[twin flower]

[fossil oasis]

"revolutionary turn based combat" "amazing RPG" and it's just literally stuff we've seen before, done better by other people in the past

[twin flower]

Brawler shooter if anything

SM2 that is

[timid geyser]

Space marine 2 literally has the bloodbounre "Gain health when you lose health" mechanic XD

[misty trench]

kinda miss destiny 2 gameplay ngl, but I ain't ever reinstalling that game

[fossil oasis]

Not big on SM2 personally

[twin flower]

Its alright

Just wish enemies werent walking bullet sponges

bolters dont do shit bruh

[fossil oasis]

Yeah they feel super weak

[misty trench]

cool mechanic imo (in bloodborne anyway)

[dire crane]

Its kinda hard to make a shooter specific horde game without there being some kind of melee aspect and not have it just be a copy of COD zombies

[fiery wave]

I mean, with all the hype, I expected it, just not it and nearly EVERYTHING else. Like, GOTY already means good in everything to the point it's a must play for the year, why does it need individual catagories as well???

[arctic escarp]

wild

you just hatin 💀

[twin flower]

[astral basin]

Sniper is fun
Bulwark is fun
Vanguard w melta is fun
Heavy is fun
Otherwise. Eh.

[timid geyser]

Very reductive but okay

[astral basin]

contested health is a staple mechanic for brawlers btw

[arctic escarp]

every person I see who thinks E33 doesnt deserve the awards is really just people who never played the game 💀

[twin flower]

Silksong should have gotten best Indie reeee

[dire crane]

I like the zip line

[fossil oasis]

Yeah pretty much. A GOTY win means all the other awards should go to other people since you're probably already great in all those other categories anyway

[fiery wave]

Yeah, but you know how people only see the hit new market thing.

[timid geyser]

E33 was amazing I loved every second of it, wish I didnt get overleveled XD

[misty trench]

honestly I'd want a PvE shooter where the enemies are actual combatants as opposed to horde fodder

think like darktide but it's actually a cover shooter and you're fighting traitor guard in a proper tacticool warfare setting. That'd scratch an itch for me

[timid geyser]

like if the final battle had a "Do this a recommended level" I would of chosen it

[fossil oasis]

This so much. E33 literally isn't indie. It's double A at the least considering publisher backing and funding from the french gov

[arctic escarp]

yea I beat the bosses of act 2 and act 3 really fast I didnt even get to hear the music properly lmao

[ancient violet]

You hate E33 because "gameplay"

I hate E33 because it's French

We are not the same

[arctic escarp]

i mean if thats the case silksong shouldnt be indie too 💀

backing from outside sources

[fiery wave]

Naw, just find it stupid that it ate all awards even if GOTY explains it enough.

[astral basin]

I keep forgetting e33 didnt release in 2024. They had streamers playtest it in 2024

[arctic escarp]

its just really good tho

[fossil oasis]

I hate it for both

[dire crane]

What even is it?

[fossil oasis]

Slop

Turn based RPG

[misty trench]

idk I don't get the hype, it doesn't have laezel in it

[slow verge]

imagine playing Ready or Not with Darktide amount of enemies

[dire crane]

Oh turn based?

[fossil oasis]

Yeah

[delicate vapor]

6tyh beber

[arctic escarp]

Devora voices one of the characters xd

[misty trench]

I'd rock this

[misty trench]

IT'S NOT THE SAME

[arctic escarp]

mmm everything I dont like is slop

[timid geyser]

my hot take is I didnt really like Baldurs gate 3

wasnt my thing

glad peoplel iked it tho

[fossil oasis]

That would be peak tbh, as long as it's made by people who aren't bootlickers tho

[misty trench]

that's fair enough

[fossil oasis]

Stopped playing Ready or Not because of their fuckass dev team

[misty trench]

I love Bg3 but I fully understand why it wouldn't grab some folks

[delicate vapor]

6th beer

[timid geyser]

I stopped playing ready or not because modding in a girl player character got annoying

[arctic escarp]

game length is really intimidating yea

[misty trench]

I stopped playing read or not because it's simply not that replayable lmao

[delicate vapor]

time to play battlefield 6 and get sniped by a tank

[fiery wave]

Yes, is why I never said don't give it GOTY. I just said, why does it need it and EVERY OTHER AWARD as well? Like, doesn't GOTY already tell you it's the most amazing thing that year?

[astral basin]

Actually
E33 has the same framework as that old ea lord of the rings game
Just more interactive

[timid geyser]

oh no no XD Ive beaten all the ff14 expansions and actively love shin megami tensii 100+ hr jrpgs

[arctic escarp]

oh lawd I got blocked 💀

typical

[misty trench]

you beat all the maps a few times and it's just not interesting any more

[ancient violet]

NAVY SEAL PLAYS READY OR NOT

EPIC BREAK IN GAMEPLAY

[timid geyser]

by who XD?

[timid geyser]

speaking of D&D

Im about to be part of a Lancer campaign

im super excited

[misty trench]

that and like, the game does have flaws

[fossil oasis]

Yeah true, I was tryna get S-tier on all of them but it's just so difficult at times. But like between their shit console release and them being back-the-blue kinda people, I decided I aint ever going back to it

[delicate vapor]

i forget i bought that game

[misty trench]

like I really enjoy rogue trader as well but I can fully understand people not being into it either

[arctic escarp]

nah not gonna name the person but this is way too funny rn 💀

I had a suspicion already beforehand

[misty trench]

S tiers weren't too problematic for me, though it got real boring real fast the amount of gimmicky shit you have to do to be perfect and non-lethal

[astral basin]

My duo was invested in that game
I was asking around how it held up last month or so, so wed have something to try
No good feedback at all

[light fable]

I've run a few one shots its a system with quite fun combat

[arctic escarp]

is recognition that it does good on those categories too afaik

like treat each award category in a vacuum over treating it as some type of cumulative thing

[fossil oasis]

Must've gotten worse since I last played it then

[misty trench]

hell yeah, god I miss tabletop

[light fable]

honestly same it loses what makes it interesting after a while

[fossil oasis]

It was mostly all the stuff they'd altered on PC just for it to be put on console after promising no censorship that originally was the problem so idk what else they coulda done

[misty trench]

the AI still tends to freak out and start wallbanging

[fiery wave]

Then I would honestly say they bribed their way somehow. Some of those I would easily give to other games, listed or otherwise. Some for taste reasons.

[delicate vapor]

should I
A: steal my sisters food
B: Steal my sisters food stealthy
C: cook

[arctic escarp]

they do not

[fiery wave]

Spend your money on good food then.

[fossil oasis]

Yeah exactly, that and the only effective non-lethal weapon as like the beanbag shotgun and tazer. The others just where mostly useless. The gas grenades where pretty damn good though

[misty trench]

cook your sister some food and then steal it

[arctic escarp]

like this is just bg3 outrage over it sweeping the awards all over again 💀

[slow verge]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[arctic escarp]

I implore anyone to try playing E33 once

[misty trench]

yeah I'd just absolutely smoke out the map and dump beanbags on dudes lmao

[slow verge]

cook, steal your sister's food and do both stealthy

[molten matrix]

worst game of all time frfr

[fiery wave]

If it wasn't $50 on sale.

[arctic escarp]

next thing you know someones gonna call E33 AI slop

the talking points is so predictable 💀

[delicate vapor]

[arctic escarp]

true..

[delicate vapor]

Already did tho

[fiery wave]

Oh.

[misty trench]

I tried but I can't launch it without purchasing and installing it first so it's objectively trash

[ancient violet]

Didn't they use AI?

[misty trench]

for placeholders, yeah, for some reason

[slow verge]

I think that's how they got stripped off indie award

[arctic escarp]

they did unknowingly bought an AI generated asset of a poster that was already removed MONTHS before it made headlines

[ancient violet]

Cringe

[modern bobcat]

Uh well actually

[fiery wave]

Thus, maybe if it were in Humble Choice so I can ask someone for it.

[misty trench]

lorem ipsum and placeholder asset packs have existed for decades but lol lmao I guess

[steady skiff]

I'm going to call E33 UE5 slop and you can't stop me

[ancient violet]

"unknowingly"

😏

[arctic escarp]

like people then decide to conflate the 2 AI generated posters = the whole game being AI slop just because they hate the game for silly reasons 💀

[ancient violet]

I think you have been on the r/gaming subreddit for too long

[arctic escarp]

I dont go there

[misty trench]

frankly I don't know enough about E33 to comment on the gameplay or story at all, I'm sure it's good in that regard

the AI thing is pretty embarassing tho

[arctic escarp]

yeah

[modern bobcat]

It's fun, but also very French

[misty trench]

and makes it somewhat a non-starter for me unless I can get the game extremely cheap

[arctic escarp]

the whole gameplay is a loveletter to JRPGs

[molten matrix]

clair obscur is red white blue french

[vast bear]

The gameplay and story are both phenomenal. People are hating on it because it earned a lot of accolades and... that's about it, as far as I can tell.

[fiery wave]

So you mean stuck up and pretentious?

[molten matrix]

mainly final fantasy 8

[slow verge]

I can never get the description "It's French" hahahahaha

[arctic escarp]

the story is to put it in one word Tragic

[modern bobcat]

Somewhat

[molten matrix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/expedition33/comments/1kfzcnm/nice_one/

[modern bobcat]

Very French mix of naive slapstick nonsense humour with an overwrought story

[vast bear]

This is my take when I see that brought up - especially considering when the game started production and how new AI was at the time.

[delicate vapor]

[fiery wave]

I mean, that's stereotypically French.

[arctic escarp]

I remember ChatGPT being the hottest kid in the block back in '23

look at us now

[slow verge]

was it 2023?

[vast bear]

Right? Remember when everyone and their mother was spamming Midjourney images everywhere?

[slow verge]

Oh gah time flies

[arctic escarp]

yeah GPT was in public use starting in early '23

[vast bear]

E33 got its development started in 2019, Sandfall Interactive formed in 2020.

[molten matrix]

clair obscur was made after they rebooted development entirely from we lost

[arctic escarp]

final fantasy reference..

[arctic escarp]

the French humor is very on the nose, theres clothing option where you have a big baguette you carry on your back

[vast bear]

You also get to beat the shit out of a bunch of mimes.

[modern bobcat]

AI generated baguettes

[feral vessel]

What? Are we talking about E33?

[arctic escarp]

and theres no explanation for it too. They just put them there for players to beat up

[fiery wave]

Very French. I expect a stale baguette as a blunt weapon.

[vast bear]

Good news.

[arctic escarp]

lol yea there is a baguette weapon

[feral vessel]

meh

I've seen very little gameplay footage of E33 but it seems to betray the 'turn based' part in 'turn based RPG'

[vast bear]

Considering the ||nature of the world||, I think it makes sense.

[vast bear]

You can dodge and parry during enemy attacks.

Instead of just eating them.

Parry all of an enemy's attacks and you get to counterattack.

[fiery wave]

Is this like the hybird system some modern JRPGs use?

[feral vessel]

Yeah I did see that, that struck me as sort of interesting.

[vast bear]

That's the only thing you do outside of your turn, lol.

[modern bobcat]

It is a hybrid

[feral vessel]

the last RPG i played was rogue trader and that was a fairly traditional take on the genre i think

[misty trench]

rogue trader did do something unique in that you can just solve everything by throwing an abelard at the problem

[light fable]

it reminds me of the mario rpg games but people are calling it innovative

[fiery wave]

JRPG means Japanese RPG. So more new Final Fantasy or Tales Of.

[vast bear]

It's definitely inspired by Paper Mario, yeah.

[arctic escarp]

funny how no one has any better name for the genre so we just agree to call it JRPG

[feral vessel]

never saw the difference really..

maybe im just stupid though

[vast bear]

The difference is in how you engage in combat. JRPGs present a line-up, positioning doesn't really come into play.

[feral vessel]

truth

[light fable]

even before that the mario rpgs, most of them have that sort of system

[fiery wave]

Is why it's a mess now. Since there's 3 'types' now, the classic, action bar and the hybird system basically.

[vast bear]

I stopped playing FF after 12, so I may be mistaken, but I don't remember mid-combat QTEs before then.

In Final Fantasy specifically.

[light fable]

I didnt mention final fantasy

[vast bear]

What did you mean by 'most of them', then?

[light fable]

the mario rpgs they made a lot of them

[vast bear]

Oh, yeah, there's six of them.

[arctic escarp]

think this is the issue with western RPGs too

[fiery wave]

Yeah.

[vast bear]

Yeah, RPG vs CRPG vs ARPG, etc.

[light fable]

closest thing final fantasy is probably the ff7 remake where they made this weird but engaging mix of turnbased and action combat

[vast bear]

Ah, see I haven't played those, either. I really lost interest in JRPGs as a whole and E33 really surprised me with how into it I am.

[fiery wave]

If it's fun, all that matters imo.

[light fable]

I'm more for action rpgs so I liked the change

[twin flower]

Crimson Desert looking hella noice atm

[fiery wave]

I just play whatever dings my brain and I already have since $4 left in Steam wallet lul.

[twin flower]

speaking of open world rpgs

[fiery wave]

Just, why is it mostly soulslike?

Left anyway?

[twin flower]

rpgs?

[fiery wave]

No, talking about my backlog.

[light fable]

Its a format that I dont hate but some can feel lackluster, lords of the fallen felt sorta lacking

I gotta finish nioh, they've a third one on the way

[fiery wave]

There's Another Crab's Treasure which I really should start on when I'm more into being okay with failing.

[modern bobcat]

Steelrising was really fun, you might like that one

[light fable]

that one looks interesting but I never picked it up

[fiery wave]

Or I guess, there's GUN.

[fiery wave]

Was in humble choice, someone gave me a key.

[fiery wave]

Have base version, also humble choice.

I just know someone who doesn't play soulslike so...

I got all the leftovers lmao.

Also why I have Nioh.

[knotty terrace]

playing with randoms is mentally draining

[fiery wave]

This is normal.

[light fable]

I hear nioh 2 is very good but playing nioh 1 coop on and off with a friend is slow going as the game is fun but long

I like that nioh has better coop than souls

[fiery wave]

Anything that doesn't push invasions gud.

[knotty terrace]

just 1 run auric qp and i'm already mentally drained lol

[light fable]

I'm more talking shared progression

dark souls coop is crap because you gotta kill the boss twice each time

[fiery wave]

Oh, this is why Code Vein and God Eater had issues.

[twin flower]

terrible team?

[knotty terrace]

yeah

[fiery wave]

Only reason it worked is cos I sped through the game before ppl I play with.

So I go funni builds or just start a new weapon for God Eater.

[light fable]

I cant do that I like experiencing the game alongside people I play with

[knotty terrace]

but i mean in general i find auric mentally draining lol

[earnest oyster]

already done

👀

[fiery wave]

Ah. I just went from dual blades to heavy moon.

[light fable]

I havent played either vein or god eater so I've no ideacwhat you mean

[fiery wave]

Kept my upgrades equiv to what they have.

[fiery wave]

Just think Monster Hunter.

[light fable]

Still like seeing new areas at the same time

[fiery wave]

But 5-10 mins runs instead of 1 hour.

Dual blades can do it faster if you know when to do it.

[fiery wave]

I get it, it sucks but sometimes it feels like co-op was tagged in later.

Or an extra feature.

[light fable]

People literally mod souls games to add in seamless some times its a willful choice to have crappy coop

[arctic escarp]

bet

now its my turn for excess

obsessing over details in my art

[fiery wave]

Just so ppl don't rely on it?

[feral vessel]

Try not to do that. Trust me.

[earnest oyster]

the problem is you write it think it's dogshit, leave it for 7 years, then look after 7 years, and realise it was peak

[feral vessel]

I'm not an artist, but I think it's bad anyways.

[earnest oyster]

and people were right liking it

[fiery wave]

So drawing yuri handholding?

[light fable]

it depends feels less like thats the reason as they make it easy enough to summon help

[fiery wave]

Peak dog dook? Yeah. I find my own writing cringe years later.

[light fable]

hell they often give you the option for npc help

[earnest oyster]

i was good in literature class, i can tell if it's crine or not

i can analyse it

[fiery wave]

Some people enjoy it, most most will tell you it's not worth the time spent on it.

[arctic escarp]

peak literature was reading a fallout x rwby crossover fanfiction for me

I never kept track of it anymore and I dont remember what its called

[fiery wave]

I was the literature teacher's pet.

[earnest oyster]

ptsd flashbacks

[arctic escarp]

yeah I was just sketching the pose today (not handholding)

thank goodness for 3d poses I can manipulate to my liking 💀

[fiery wave]

Not in that way. Just the best at it.

[earnest oyster]

for me at least, i was the pet (cat pfp not related)

[fiery wave]

Ah. Heh.

[earnest oyster]

changed my writing style just to appease the teacher lmao

[fiery wave]

WOT.

I just meant being the best in English and Literature.

[arctic escarp]

aaah

you one of them

pet affiliated folk

[fiery wave]

Mine just told me to either all 'Murican English or all British English.

[arctic escarp]

literature teacher's pet and now yuri writer

[fiery wave]

Because I get fuzzled between both.

[arctic escarp]

peak development

[twin dirge]

Boiled closet

[earnest oyster]

i had two English teachers one taught American english the other British english, one for 6 years, the other for 8

messed up muh brain

[arctic escarp]

my constant exposure to american films and games made me pickup Murican

even though the teachers taught Bri'ish..

[fiery wave]

Mine teaches British, he just knew I was into American fiction and such. So... lul.

[fiery wave]

I mean, you can see the mess.

[earnest oyster]

i watched Cartoon Network from 3

im Murican

[arctic escarp]

gumball and adventure time I watched throughout my teen

peak...

[earnest oyster]

wheres muh mallet

RETURN THE SLAB

[fiery wave]

Do neither of you even watch the SatAM X-men or TMNT?

[arctic escarp]

uuuh no

[fiery wave]

Or OG Power Rangers.

[arctic escarp]

I watch the original teen titans

[earnest oyster]

theres too much tmnt r34

somethings gone wrong

[arctic escarp]

monsterloving as a genre in a nutshell

[earnest oyster]

[fiery wave]

EXCUSE ME.

[arctic escarp]

[earnest oyster]

drider is a crazy monster name though 💀 😭

[fierce cave]

Oraxia

Trust me

[fiery wave]

Just DRow spIDER.

[bronze wren]

Imagine a spider but its big and has human hands

[modern bobcat]

Lolth would have made a good god in Warhammer

[fiery wave]

Wot.

[fierce cave]

Search up oraxia

Trust me

[fiery wave]

Warframe? Eh.

[fierce cave]

Yup

Absolute cinema

[fiery wave]

Naw, The Fair Lady.

[somber stream]

Maybe i should move to Alaska

check average house price: $382k
Nvm

[dire crane]

She Drider on my Lolth till she spins a web

[dire crane]

But bears are cute

[fiery wave]

That's hilariously cheap.

Try $800k for a 4 room rented apartment with around 50 years left.

[somber stream]

I'm not paying mortgage till the day i die

Also if i want bear i would just move to Serbia

[fiery wave]

Rented is rent from govt.

[dire crane]

Thats the same place

[fiery wave]

Well, no choice here, unless you het and give govt 2 kids. Then you get govt subsidies on housing to make it affordable.

[somber stream]

What are they? Fuckin Rumpelstiltskin?

Give us 2 kids in exchange for a more afforable housing?

[fair bridge]

jeez it's raining a lot

[somber stream]

I'd take that deal

[drowsy prawn]

Gov will never make housing affordable, too many boomer donors that hold high value properties

[twin flower]

[drowsy prawn]

only out is tech making construction dirt cheap

and decentralized off grid living becomes a trend

[somber stream]

If only it wasn't hyper illegal to do so

[dire crane]

Only illegal of you get caught

[drowsy prawn]

imagine it been "illegal" to live your own life in the wild, almost as if you are a slave

[somber stream]

Progression comes with a price

[twin flower]

get dragged back by your master 'society'

[somber stream]

Regulated living spaces and practices, think it goes by 'law'

You know, to prevent your neighbor from shanking you and take all your stuff just because

[fiery wave]

Yeah. More and they stop giving you help on the new kids.

[somber stream]

Just turn the valve off after the 2nd one

[fair bridge]

does anyone have a porsche 944 i can have plss

[obtuse oak]

Better than paying rent

If you gae, well, sucks to be you. Be prepared to spend up to a million to get an apartment.

I can't go off grid, I'm type one diabetic.

[drowsy prawn]

but it doesn't matter, once AI and robotic automation gets to a certain threshold people will essentially have the means to live off grid for dirt cheap
once that happens it will be practically impossible to keep the populations hold up in city centers

[somber stream]

Think i'll wait till something happen and suddenly the price went down across the board

[night grotto]

It's either stay, or croak in the wild as a stick-thin mess.

[obtuse oak]

Yeah keep dreaming buddy.

[drowsy prawn]

exactly, see once people are "in" they won't vote for policies that make housing affordable so their property value goes down 😏

[fair bridge]

[civic otter]

I'm a balkan man, we are kissers by nature

Introvert's nightmare living here

When you meet your alchoholic uncle and he decides to go in for a big hug and somehow an even bigger kiss

(Still smells like vodka)

[twin flower]

like..

on the lips?

[somber stream]

Forehead, cheeks

Balkan are very physical

[twin flower]

Huh

[somber stream]

I got smack in the back more than i could count during a drinking night there

[civic otter]

Yeah, forehead and cheeks

[twin flower]

is that good

[civic otter]

They usually grab you by your neck or the back of your head and smack kiss you on the forehead

[civic otter]

Smacks your back, grabs you by your waist and pulls you in, this is the drunkard way of showing you you're appreciated

[somber stream]

Good, i passed the 'initialization' by about 3 more glasses of Rakia than usual

As in, 15 shots

[somber stream]

Oh yeah, they made sure i knew that lol

[civic otter]

It's sweet but it sure as hell gets foreigners uncomfortable

Or hell, even city boys tbh

[somber stream]

Real, i kept thinking to myself "It's just the local ways" whenever something shocked me lol

The girls are very reserved, however

[civic otter]

Met this dude in the friend circle i had who fucking lost his mind with my behaviour all night, it was hilarious to see the expressions

Yes

[somber stream]

City girls are the complete opposite

[civic otter]

Yeah its funny

Traditional albanian women are quiet and cautious

[civic otter]

City girls are as loud and expressive as it gets

[somber stream]

You're... something

[fierce cave]

Racism

[somber stream]

Racism manifested?

[wide seal]

expensive*

[fierce cave]

Chicken cockey

[tiny swift]

Everything in city is expensive

And usually the service isn't that great either. I had better meals in bumpkin villages, than in city restaurant

[fiery wave]

Live in a city state, the city city is like min 5x more ex.
