general-chat

[graceful hamlet]

It’s peak

[hazy kestrel]

:)

You’re goddamn right

[true minnow]

They should have given the psyker a hammer they can fill with warp juice for an aoe

[lethal solstice]

Oh me oh my I have to use a 2 input combo...... with a CHAIN IN!!!!!!!

[tired inlet]

brøther, I cräve the forbidden hämmer

[hazy kestrel]

Imagine using combos

[stuck crescent]

use chain for mobs.

Use gun for non mobs

Simple as

[graceful hamlet]

Yea, I dislike it

[whole bough]

like if u arent using -hitmass on the th what u doin

[hazy kestrel]

Heavy into Heavy into Heavy goes brrrr

Thammer is best weapon

[whole bough]

i love me bonking stick that flings people around

[graceful hamlet]

I like my heavy into heavy into heavy into heavy

[lethal solstice]

Yeah I already know you're lame I just felt like mocking you

[whole bough]

TH and flamer tho

peak

[hazy kestrel]

Thammer and Bolter is my go to

[graceful hamlet]

If I wanted to be fancy in melee I’d play Skyrim 😏

[whole bough]

great for havoc

as long as theres no

rotten armor

rotten armor is horrible for 90% of weapons though

[stuck crescent]

Best combo

[hazy kestrel]

Yes

[lethal solstice]

What gun economically covers mixed horde, cara/uny, bosses, and sniping (if you say bolter or recon las i'm jumping you)

[quaint moss]

I KIRBY'D INTO THE ABYSS XD

[graceful hamlet]

Reconlas

[crystal osprey]

Well my knife doesn’t suck

[hazy kestrel]

Bolter, you silly goose

[stuck crescent]

Recon, simple as

[graceful hamlet]

Reconlas my beloved

[whole bough]

knife is meant for weakspot/crit and penetration

[graceful hamlet]

I wish the twink had more ammo economy so I could treat it like a reconlas

[whole bough]

relic blade is meant for killing everything

[crystal osprey]

But it deals with horses fine

[whole bough]

PBB give sit decent eco

[crystal osprey]

Hordes

[graceful hamlet]

Not enough to shoot everything all the time 😔

[crystal osprey]

I don’t attack horses with knife

[whole bough]

i shoot a lot and usually also run out of ammo still

[whole bough]

on what diff

[true minnow]

The real weirdos are the people who play psykers but use non psyker exclusive weapons

[whole bough]

knif is NOT good on higher diff hordes

[crystal osprey]

Auric

Really

[stuck crescent]

And, here's another way to deal with carapace (as vet)

Krak

[whole bough]

well

[crystal osprey]

Maybe it’s because my build is weird

[whole bough]

moreso the quantity

knife has very short range

[lethal solstice]

tac axe laspistol is one of the like
Two ways I will play psyker

[crystal osprey]

I think i have a weird brain damage build

[whole bough]

so you can only clear small parts of the horde

[crystal osprey]

I do knife laspistol

Close enough

[true minnow]

A damning character flaw

[whole bough]

i like infinite fire psyker

[lethal solstice]

Anything else is too broken to be fun

[whole bough]

its fun

[true minnow]

Isn't inferno psyker kinda meta

[lethal solstice]

You just press the I Win button and then soulblaze/warp slash/trauma all over them

[whole bough]

ya but usually with shriek

i use scriers inferno

[crystal osprey]

No bro not at all it’s under picked and mid

[lethal solstice]

Its hard to build psyker in a way that doesn't shatter the game

[graceful hamlet]

Imagine not bowling ball

[whole bough]

because you can literally do infinite fire

[crystal osprey]

I can do that

Yo

Knife not even that bad vs horses

Or am I stupid

Idk man

I give up

I’ll never be a darktide pro

[true minnow]

So that is why some dude tried to kick me the other day because "psykers make the game boring"

[lethal solstice]

Yeah they do

[stuck crescent]

I wish I was better as pysker

They seem cool

[true minnow]

Knife vs crusher matchup

[lethal solstice]

Part of the reason I really just don't play this game much anymore

[somber stream]

Why wish when you can become

[lethal solstice]

Too many setups just make the game outright trivial on any normal difficulty

[simple cliff]

I wish I was better.
But it's ok, you can 'git gud' and not be bad at the game with one simple trick!
||Blame your teammates.||

[crystal osprey]

Psukers when they remove the entire map by pressing m1 and wonder why I don’t like it

[whole bough]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a139f240-ab15-4371-b23b-52ac238e2ce7/endless-fire

[crystal osprey]

I love that matchup

[stuck crescent]

Because drip no good

[somber stream]

TRUE

[whole bough]

just play higher diff idk

[stuck crescent]

And brain too smooth for the warp

[whole bough]

my normal difficultiy is auric

[somber stream]

Get the inquisitorial one, increase your skill by 150%

[crystal osprey]

Why would I use krak grenades when I can use power sword

[somber stream]

Field-tested by me

[stuck crescent]

Just play auric

[lethal solstice]

Higher diff is havoc and I want not to torture myself when I play

[crystal osprey]

Havic

[lethal solstice]

I do

[crystal osprey]

Respond

[hazy kestrel]

Havoc isn’t torture, Expeditions is the real torture

[stuck crescent]

Who?

[lethal solstice]

Yeah cause its boring as fuck

[crystal osprey]

Someone

[hazy kestrel]

But then again, it’s self inflicted lmao

Almost done with the grind though

[twin flower]

Dont need Krak nades if your melee can already kill crushers imo

[hazy kestrel]

So I’m pretty happy

[lethal solstice]

As opposed to engaging but very difficult/occasionally bullshit

[hazy kestrel]

Only 60k salvage to go.

[lethal solstice]

Bulwark racism or bosses

[stuck crescent]

@crystal osprey

[hazy kestrel]

And then I’m FREE

[lethal solstice]

Or the occasional 5 crushers in a 1m space

[stuck crescent]

There you go, son

[crystal osprey]

But killing beast of nurgle with power sword = fun

[lethal solstice]

They're also a bit less redundant than frags (if you have power sword) and more useful than smokes in auric

[whole bough]

differnt loadouts

[crystal osprey]

What’s wrong w frags

[graceful hamlet]

Reject melee, embrace ranged shenanigans

[stuck crescent]

Shredders....aren't good

[twin flower]

I wish going full ranged was an option tho

[lethal solstice]

very redundant when paired with one of the best horde clear weapons in the game

[crystal osprey]

☹️

[jaunty path]

@crystal osprey https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a18bec31-127b-47f9-b16e-5a94baa9db52/crit-crusher-3 use my build :p

[lethal solstice]

They're fine but not needed when you have power sword

[graceful hamlet]

It is for reconlas vet, staff psyker and Hive Scum technically. A shame on the pickpocket nerf though.

[crystal osprey]

I don’t even own a crusher

[stuck crescent]

Know what's an even better hoard weapon?

[crystal osprey]

Also what does the crusher weapon do

[jaunty path]

buy one

[languid hazel]

My mom?

[crystal osprey]

Does it kill carapace

[stuck crescent]

CHAINSWORD

[crystal osprey]

Does it clear hordes

[jaunty path]

god tier crowd control

[jaunty path]

mhm

[twin flower]

wuh

[crystal osprey]

What about carapace…

[lethal solstice]

(its not, it even loses in pure trash clear)

[jaunty path]

Mhm it deals with that plenty well too.

[graceful hamlet]

Actually any las weapon can go infinite nowadays

[stuck crescent]

BEST WEAPON IN THE GAME

[crystal osprey]

So power output 60%

Interesting

I didn’t know

Thanks can you dm me the link so I don’t lose it

pretty please

[true minnow]

Inferno grenades OP

[crystal osprey]

im pretty

[stuck crescent]

META-EST WEAPON

[crystal osprey]

w take

[twin flower]

chord users be chording

[graceful hamlet]

Reject toughness curios, embrace triple health curios on certain classes

[languid hazel]

Is there a havoc modifier that makes you loss unused ammo in mags?

[twin flower]

No?

[true minnow]

Zealots who say immolation grenades are bad are just bad at controlling a battle

[languid hazel]

Then there should be

[twin flower]

[stark bobcat]

TRUE!!!!!!

[lethal solstice]

Immos mean I don't have tknives and thats entirely unacceptable

[twin flower]

Fatshark if they had good ideas

[crystal osprey]

I love the maelstrom condition that just removes ammo

Like ok thanks

[lethal solstice]

Civi is amazing

[languid hazel]

Fatshark hire me right now for creative consultant

[crystal osprey]

Why.

[lethal solstice]

Cause its just armor the whole game

Silly fun time

[restive walrus]

I think zealots nade options should have optional modifer nodes.

Because it sounds cool

i dunno throw the knifes in a fan instead of a dark

dart

or uh

[true minnow]

dark

[restive walrus]

immo nades got no fucken clue lol

[twin flower]

knives inflicting bleed maybe

[stuck crescent]

Throw chainswords

[twin flower]

that'd be interesting

[true minnow]

Immo grenades could be a big burst of fire that does a DOT instead of being on the ground

[restive walrus]

Stun nades could cause bleeding?

feels like thats just shredder nades tho

[true minnow]

Stun grenades could get a modifier to stun team mates insted of enemies

[restive walrus]

make fire nades explode elites

on kill

so showstopper is used by force lol

[lethal solstice]

Stunning the smyker so I can barrel them more effectively or bait an overhead onto them

[true minnow]

Fatshark needs to make Ogryn OP

[lethal solstice]

Have you seen current gunlugger

[true minnow]

Not OP enough

[sweet wraith]

frag bomb modifier node that gives you +1 grenade

[restive walrus]

stun nades have a incense mist that increases stamina regen

and damage

or some shit I dunno

[true minnow]

The OPness needs to be so immense that people stop complaining about psyker being too strong and ruining the game

[stuck crescent]

Know what's really OP?

CHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAINNNNNSSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOORRRRRDDDDDDDDD

[sweet wraith]

I wish

[lethal solstice]

The game engine couldn't put up with that

[stuck crescent]

REPLACE EVERY WEAPON THAT ISNT A CHAINSWORD

LASGUN, NAH BRUV, CHAINGUN

[true minnow]

Psyker needs a chainstaff

[restive walrus]

psyker new staff

would be Cool

they should give zealot new weapons as they do not have enough uniques

(:

and they can take away dueling sword as payment

lol

[stuck crescent]

But what else will carry the krieg nerds?

[crystal osprey]

Shedder nades suck

[timber elk]

I mean not really

[stuck crescent]

ITS THE META

[lethal solstice]

You, apparently

[stuck crescent]

I dont use dueling sword

[timber elk]

Chainswords are incredibly fragile due to how the teeth are made

[stuck crescent]

MAKE MORE TEETH

[restive walrus]

Dont that have a friggen power field around them to stop them breaking

i swear

[stuck crescent]

CHAIN UP THOSE TEETH

[restive walrus]

thats the explination

[stuck crescent]

CHAINS UPON CHAINS

[timber elk]

Plus gunk, gore and armor can jam up the motor

[stuck crescent]

PUT SOME CHAIN IN THE MOTOR

[timber elk]

Chainaxes are more efficient

[crystal osprey]

buff power sword into being cooler

[lethal solstice]

But neither work cause the housing is wider than the chain by like 1.5 inches

[stuck crescent]

CANT JAM UP IF ITS POWERED BY RENEWABLE CHAIN ENERGY

[timber elk]

Well actually it would be cost effective to give guardsmen power knifes.

That way it’s as dead as a power sword but as nimble as a knife

[stuck crescent]

YOU MEAN.....CHAIN KNIFES?

I AGREE

[quaint moss]

they put the fun in "mass slaughter of the unworthy"

[timber elk]

I like how I’m getting logical explanations and krieg is going full Kharn on us

[jaunty path]

kharn?

[placid knoll]

It's 44°C here in Thailand. I wonder how come some people still playing Songkran without heatstroke, instead of darktide at home

[stuck crescent]

CCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAINNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[stuck crescent]

the betrayer

[timber elk]

Yeah kharn

[true minnow]

What is the most useful zealot ability

[jaunty path]

All of them

[stuck crescent]

Yeah, really depends on your build

[true minnow]

Okay what is the least useful

[lethal solstice]

Chorus

[stuck crescent]

Zelot doesn't have the vet problem (pre update)

[lethal solstice]

Probably

[jaunty path]

chorus if youre a meta loser. fotf if you wanna have fun, infilitrate if you wanna kill bosses

[timber elk]

I’m just saying kreig chain weapons (other than the chain axe) arent that effective

[quaint moss]

corn

the flavored

[stuck crescent]

I AGREE, THEY ARE EFFECTIVE

I SAW THAT

[potent sage]

Fury of the faithful mentioned !!! 🤤

[timber elk]

No they aren’t

[somber stream]

Is this why there were AC literally everywhere i go into during my trip in the country

[stuck crescent]

TOO LATE, I SAW IT

YOU AGREED

NO TAKE BACKS

[timber elk]

It was a typo

[restive walrus]

Fury of the faithful should have more modifer nodes

[timber elk]

You know what

[restive walrus]

because its BORRING

[potent sage]

we agree!

[potent sage]

we dont agree

[restive walrus]

we

mf is a hive mind..

[timber elk]

Plasma guns are pointless

[stuck crescent]

NAH, TYPO WAS RIGHT, THUS NOT MAKING IT A TYPO

[restive walrus]

i say boring as hyperbole

but I want more shit on it

[stuck crescent]

I dont really like plasma guns, soo agree

but we should respect people that do

[true minnow]

fof is just im gonna run up and stab/bonk you right

[potent sage]

i agree with this fotf should have more shit on it

[potent sage]

yeah

[stuck crescent]

just because they enjoy something we don't, that doesn't make it wrong

[timber elk]

Okay. But plasma pistols are cool than the plasma rifle.

[weary pilot]

What is the yearly warhammer thing called again

[potent sage]

charge move with one extra super damage attack that regains all toughness and gives you damage resistance

[timber elk]

Oh heavy plasma cannon is also cool.

[potent sage]

super fun

[timber elk]

Plasma rifle just sucks

[true minnow]

And chorus has you buff everyone while taking you out of combat?

[potent sage]

warhammer skulls i think

thats where they do video game reveals and updates for current video games

[quaint moss]

give ogryn a minigun

[potent sage]

darktide is going to reveal something BIG in may

🤤

[twin flower]

give ogryn that billhook from munda

[stuck crescent]

I am not a plasma head

[weary pilot]

That’s it, thank you

[potent sage]

so is space marine 2 and rogue trader

[stuck crescent]

I prefer to las-it-up, you know

[graceful hamlet]

Can’t wait for Admech to have a shooty build that has practically infinite ammo that the meleecels will complain about again

[true minnow]

Let ogryn pick up an enemy and hit other enemies with it, with a modifier that lets it work on elites every now and then

[potent sage]

np!

[twin flower]

i can hear them already

[restive walrus]

this is some wiplash

crazy ass shit

[potent sage]

meleecels. ruin. everything........................ (i am a zealot main)

[restive walrus]

no they aren't

they did the big update...

[graceful hamlet]

“Erm, this is a melee game”

meanwhile the devs cooking more pure ranged options

[quaint moss]

🤨

[restive walrus]

we must wallow

and be doubters

[potent sage]

blud theyre name is widerally on the list

[quaint moss]

zealot gun build is funny

[potent sage]

alongside rogue trader and total war and space marine 2

[true minnow]

If they revealed that Fatshark is shutting down after Tencent pulled out their investment, I would be just fine with that

[potent sage]

theyre ALL going to reveal cool updates

tencent would never do that

[restive walrus]

that is true my fellow skibbidi

[quaint moss]

anyways im gonna try the ass ault chainsword

[potent sage]

tencent is one of the biggest conglomerates ever

[quaint moss]

skibbidi rizz

[potent sage]

theyre probably going to dump MORE money into fatshark and then forget that they ever had a majority stake in them

[restive walrus]

I dunno I just doubt they will reveal a new class during this skulls event

[marsh iris]

gyaaat

[restive walrus]

I think it will be a new map

than skitarri or whatever

[potent sage]

one singular new map

😭

[restive walrus]

if we get anything

one map and its two variations?

technicall 2 maps in one!!!

[placid knoll]

If they wanna nerf plasma just remove the auto vent on m1. Let the veteran actually manage heat like psyker

[graceful hamlet]

They already confirmed a class is next in one of their blogs iirc

[restive walrus]

Bring back the self damage on vent...

[potent sage]

can someone cite ts please

[restive walrus]

kill the weapon...

what did FS show last skulls event?

[potent sage]

i MUST have a look............. 👀

[restive walrus]

or was that arbite

[potent sage]

arbites

[placid knoll]

They still damage your shield, right?

[restive walrus]

I remeber the skulls event where they released chaos spawn

[restive walrus]

I think it used to just take health no matter what

iirc

[potent sage]

does plasgun no longer damage you?

[quaint moss]

itd be fun if they did though. also probably like 6 more hive scum nerfs

[restive walrus]

not unless you have 0 toughness

[potent sage]

big news for meta slave larpers everywhere

[restive walrus]

New maps, new weapons!

[potent sage]

i think they will reveal a new class

[restive walrus]

das what I want over a new class

[potent sage]

they just HAVE to

[restive walrus]

NO UH

NIUH UH

[placid knoll]

On release hivescum feels pretty weak

[restive walrus]

or whatever kids say

[quaint moss]

next update, hivescum, 1 hp, 1 toughness

[potent sage]

finally.......................................... game is actually playable

[restive walrus]

I think may players opinions on HC changed after the last round of buffs. They think it was better when HC was squisher

[potent sage]

what is HC

[graceful hamlet]

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/wrapping-up-2025-and-looking-ahead/118057 and we just had the Expeditions come out, so naturally next is the class

bart simpson sad edit

That'll only make you looks like a sex predator

Anime girls is a valid complaint

[true minnow]

Space

[tired inlet]

so the jokes about the Maul is a reference to an old Clint Eastwood film "Every which way but loose" where Eastwood plays his usual typecast hardboiled cop/detective, but his partner is an Orangutan named Clyde

[obtuse oak]

I don't understand people who keep tarantulas as pets, if I'm being honest

[stark bobcat]

They are cute

You can pet them if they like you

[gloomy tartan]

It’s because they are different to normal spiders

[stark bobcat]

My neighbor had one

[gloomy tartan]

They are larger and sensitive to falls from height

They are warm and round fat

brings ""Even a monkey could do it" to a level

[gloomy tartan]

Not skinny and sharp

[trail bramble]

I had one as a teen and it was not very fun lmao

[obtuse oak]

What in god's green earth is cute about that eight legged hairy monstrosity

[gloomy tartan]

They are rounder shaped usually unable to pierce human skin with fangs and fuzzy

[obtuse oak]

Gives me the heeby jeebies

[jaunty path]

WHAT

[gloomy tartan]

It’s like a plush of a spider

[trail bramble]

Spiders are really good at just... not doing things for days on end

[gloomy tartan]

To me I nean

[marsh iris]

cutest spider is the jumping spider

[gloomy tartan]

Like normal spiders are all angular

Jumping spiders can have little fix too

[obtuse oak]

That too

[jaunty path]

Have a friend send you pictures of spiders semi regularly

[trail bramble]

And also you can't play with it or anything for fear that it'll bite you

[gloomy tartan]

Fuzz makes a spider less scary

[obtuse oak]

Wouldn't you want a pet that you can interact with on the daily?

[jaunty path]

you will lose ur fear of them

[rain idol]

That’s the only one I’d rather not see get slimed out

[gloomy tartan]

Tarantulas can’t pierce your skin with a bite

[quaint moss]

fuzzy ^-^

[nocturne bloom]

Spiders dont really form bonds with you like a dog or cat but they are pretty capable of accepting you as something friendly and when they do it is pretty cute having a spider that just chills with you

[gloomy tartan]

Safe to handle

[true minnow]

Spiders are cool and they do cool stuff for the homestead, if I see a spider outside I am glad they are out there

However

A scary spider inside the house is a capitol offense

[gloomy tartan]

It’s same as with a reptile or a crustacean or a fish

They learn you mean food

Bond that way

[jaunty path]

leave them alone...

[gloomy tartan]

Tarantulas are basically plush spiders

[trail bramble]

yeah if I wanted to get another dangerous animal as a pet I'd get a snake or something
at least i could like, pet it

[gloomy tartan]

They are fatter and rounder and warmer and softer and fuzzy

[rain idol]

I don’t care if they can’t pierce my skin they’re an arachnid that the size of my hand and I will shit myself if it leaves it’s bloody enclosure

[quaint moss]

i fell off a bridge and broke me legs (fat crusher chud got in the way)

[jaunty path]

tarantulas arent deadly are they?

[gloomy tartan]

They don’t view you as food at all

Only 1 tarantula hunts birds

[trail bramble]

no but the bites hurt and their hair can make you itch

[gloomy tartan]

The biggest breed ij the wild

They kick leg hairs at you to irritate your eyes

That’s they’re defense

If you scare one

[true minnow]

I got bit by a black widow when I was a kid and refused to tell my parents and it almost killed me

haven't liked spiders since

[jaunty path]

lmfao

[gloomy tartan]

Yeah black widows are cunts

Sharp and angular

[jaunty path]

mf.

bruh

[gloomy tartan]

Missus you don’t understand it really irritates your eyes

[jaunty path]

pocket sand type attack

[gloomy tartan]

Like you’ll be sobbing lol

[rain idol]

Like I said spiders freak me the fuck out and I will scream if one is near me and not being behind half a foot of glass it doesn’t matter if it poses a danger to me or not

[gloomy tartan]

Ok but

Flys

Roaches

Mosquitoes

Spiders kill them all bro

[true minnow]

But I live in the desert with hella brown recluses and bark scorpions so, it all sucks

[lilac crag]

hi missus

[jaunty path]

1000 roaches or one spider

hi alexander

[trail bramble]

get a pet camel spider to hunt the wolf spiders and scorpions

[gloomy tartan]

Spiders pay rent

[rain idol]

I COULD CARE LESS I CAN SLAP THOSE FUCKERS AWAY

[jaunty path]

1000 roaches or one spider

[gloomy tartan]

Only some spiders can even bite you

Study up

[true minnow]

I saw one of those last summer out of the corner of my eye when I was pissing in the kitchen sink and nearly shot it

[jaunty path]

spiders won't go out of their way to bite you

[gloomy tartan]

Some are ment to live in homes and die in the wild

Spiders are scared of people

[rain idol]

I’ll take the bloody roaches I live too far up north for them to live anyways

[gloomy tartan]

You say that

[jaunty path]

[gloomy tartan]

Wait till the snow roach update happens

[trail bramble]

I'm pretty good with arthropods in general but man FUCK camel spiders

[somber stream]

I'm brewing a plan to have 4 separate male jumping spider around my apartment so they can combat Mosquito comes summer

[gloomy tartan]

Arent camel spiders closer to scorpions

[somber stream]

Male specifically because i don't want a colony of them in my nest lol

[trail bramble]

yeah they're taxonomically seperate

[gloomy tartan]

Like bro black widows and brown recluse and wolf spiders are specifically the agro ones

Those are the ones who will fuckint bite you

[true minnow]

Neither

[gloomy tartan]

Most won’t

Many can’t

Physically

[trail bramble]

camels spiders fucking chase down prey

they're also aggressive

[gloomy tartan]

They also like u for shade

[lilac crag]

leveling ogryn again reminds me that this class does not have a fun time

[gloomy tartan]

Ok but what about tarantula hawk wasps

The cazador from fallout

Those are fuckint fucked

A tarantula won’t chase you

Any kind of wasp will stab you multiple times

Just for the love of the game

[true minnow]

Good thing Amblypygi aren't dangerous to humans

[rain idol]

I have an actually unreasonable fear of spiders I will hyperventilate even if I see the bloody things on screen (not the jumping spider bless that things soul)

[gloomy tartan]

Go kiss one with an open mouth.

[true minnow]

I would rather kiss yer mum

[misty trench]

I'm not big on spiders after having woken up with a fist sized huntsman on my chest once

[gloomy tartan]

Huntsman are one of the agro ones

[trail bramble]

nah see huntsmen I'm chill with

[gloomy tartan]

I am so sorry

[misty trench]

huntsman spiders are pretty damn harmless but it was NOT a fun time

[trail bramble]

no they're not

[gloomy tartan]

They not

wtf

I can’t keep track

[trail bramble]

they're like the most placid spiders ever

[gloomy tartan]

Why the fuck is it called a huntsman

The wolf spider is Agro

[true minnow]

Don't get me wrong, spiders are amazing and cool for the environment

Just please don't come indoors, I will kill you out of pure fear and xenophobia

[trail bramble]

Because they also chase down prey

[misty trench]

yea huntsman spiders generally just chill on a wall or in the corner and act like they pay rent (which they kinda do, they'll kill most pests)

[gloomy tartan]

I hand a black widow and wolf spider rush me

[misty trench]

but knowing they'll sometimes ignore my personal space now I cut their lease lmao

[trail bramble]

huntsmen don't spin webs they just run shit down

[gloomy tartan]

Ah

If they can respect boundaries they can stay

[somber stream]

Spiders can show trust but lack the affection bit

[gloomy tartan]

Don’t bite me and don’t be up in my face is what I sag

They are like the sharks of bugs

Population control

[trail bramble]

the only really freaky thing about huntsmen is when you startle one and you hear it make an audible scuttling noise as it runs away hahaha

[gloomy tartan]

Yo

You know the spider that bit Spider-Man

That spider looked scary as FUCK

All sharp angular and bright blue and red

I will say the tarantula that eats birds scares me cuz it’s too big

Once your bigger than a dinner plate that’s too big

[placid knoll]

Some tarantula are edible. Doesn't taste good tho

[marsh iris]

i remember seeing some made a product out of tarantulas, like a snack pack

[somber stream]

Aren't spider mostly goo

[rocky aspen]

expedition missions tonight are harder then havoc

[rain idol]

I remember my first encounter with a spider that I actually remember is that I seen one on the floor when I was like 7 and screamed like I was getting chased by nine crushers with nothing but a shovel

[misty trench]

yeaaa, I know some people who have tried scorpion and it's apparently not very good lmao

[whole glade]

i plsy dopethrone and chill man...

[somber stream]

Tried fried scorpion in Asia once

[jaunty path]

Your place is warm

[somber stream]

Crispy, bit burnt, taste like ash

And chillis

[jaunty path]

humans are mostly goo :)

[somber stream]

Nah

[graceful hamlet]

Spider legs work like boners. Fun fact. more like pistons but this is funnier

[rain idol]

Of all the things you could compare it to😭

[graceful hamlet]

You’re welcome

[somber stream]

I mean it works

I can visualize the idea, yeah

[cosmic burrow]

No wonder all plagues come from there

[somber stream]

In the top 5 deadliest plague in human history only has 1 originated from Asia

I was threatened by some of those bald head in Mainz because of my appearance back in 2021 lol

[obtuse oak]

Plagues don't come from arachnids at any rate

[cosmic burrow]

They come from bats

[somber stream]

People in Asia don't sell bats as snack in Vendors

[nocturne bloom]

They can come from anything tbf

[somber stream]

Also the virus was found in bats but there wasn't a clear evidence that would link consumption of bats to the pandemic, iirc
(Not that you should eat them regardless)

[trail bramble]

and racoons

my beloved little rabies vectors

[quaint moss]

cucumber

ravioli

[halcyon pebble]

Extreme food but it exist

[somber stream]

Truly? I'm guessing either China or South East Asia?

I've been to Vietnam, a bit of Cambodia and Thailand. They sell crickets and scorpions mostly

[cosmic burrow]

Have you heard of kitum cave?

[quaint moss]

we use to eat pigeons, bats... not so weird.
wonder if it taste like chicken

[somber stream]

Africa isn't Asia

[true minnow]

Guilliman levels of smarts on you

[halcyon pebble]

Thailand got grilled crocodile

[true minnow]

As an American it is my right and privilege to live off pizza and burgers, but I always wondered how tasty fried insects could be or if they are nutritious and lacking in the potential disease department

[obtuse oak]

Tasty is debatable, I believe they're best eaten deep-fried or something

But insects are definitely nutritious

[true minnow]

What isn't

[obtuse oak]

Great source of protein

Big insect farms for protein rich food are a scifi staple for a reason

[cosmic lynx]

i look forward to the tasteless insect bricks ala snowpiercer

[true minnow]

Waiting for the perfected perfectly nutritious soylent type drink

[obtuse oak]

iirc they have very efficient metabolisms so you need to feed them way less to get reasonable amounts of consumable material compared to, say, herbivore mammals

[true minnow]

But without all the soy, just instant nutrition that doesn't taste like shiiit

[somber stream]

Cockroach milk

[true minnow]

They looked like rotten jello, I imagine the texture would leave something to be desired

[trail bramble]

yeah I love watching Matara Kan

[cosmic lynx]

mmm warm gelatinous mass

[somber stream]

Wh- oh.

[cosmic lynx]

almost as good as 15 cheeseburgers

almost

[obtuse oak]

Yeah obviously most human populations have hangups about eating insects for icky icky ick reasons

[nocturne bloom]

HAG MOM LETS GOOOOOOOO

[trail bramble]

there really is something for everyone lmao

[nocturne bloom]

[true minnow]

I think in the book though the bars were made of shit from the upper passengers

[gloomy tartan]

Hey guys

You know about Schrödinger cat

[true minnow]

Or was it ground up dead people

[gloomy tartan]

And how he had to eat the cheese to get out the box?

[nocturne bloom]

apparently the bricks in mario are ground up people

[tired steeple]

Shcrodinger liked little girls btw

[gloomy tartan]

Really

[tired steeple]

Yeah

[gloomy tartan]

That’s fucked up

[misty trench]

[gloomy tartan]

Who’s the guy who said guys want their mom and girls want their dad

That other psych guy

[tired steeple]

Yep

[gloomy tartan]

Froid?

[tired steeple]

[gloomy tartan]

I forget the spelling

Did he do any weird shit

[cosmic lynx]

are we google or something?

[true minnow]

Hella

[gloomy tartan]

Ah

Shame

We’re just having a discussion

Like Greek philosophers

[misty trench]

Diogenes gang

[gloomy tartan]

Magic turned the mushroom kingdom population into bricks

[gloomy tartan]

I mean that guy is the coolest yeah

When Alexander the Great wishes he was you, your doing something right

[graceful hamlet]

Quick, mention vtubers more and see if we get someone random to start frothing at the mouth in anger

[cosmic lynx]

[nocturne bloom]

Dude the Diablo 4 fanta flavor is so good

[graceful hamlet]

I don’t believe you

[nocturne bloom]

[somber stream]

I like Gura

[graceful hamlet]

Diablo 4 is too bad for anything related to it to be good

[somber stream]

I mean uh Senzawa

[nocturne bloom]

D4 really isnt that bad

[somber stream]

No i mean Saba

[graceful hamlet]

[nocturne bloom]

Hasn't she been gone for a while?

[graceful hamlet]

Yea, health issues or something

[misty trench]

I am too old to know any of the vtuber lore

[somber stream]

She's a indie now, dynamic schedule baybeeee

[somber stream]

Aren't we the same gen

[misty trench]

I'm 29

[somber stream]

[graceful hamlet]

It’s never too late to find a vtuber

[somber stream]

I'm 28

[timber elk]

I 3000 years old >:D

[misty trench]

oh, you're also a vtuber?

[timber elk]

No

I’m a eldritch lamb

[misty trench]

that doesn't stop you from being a vtuber

[nocturne bloom]

Anything can be a vtuber at this point so

[misty trench]

if anything it makes sense

[timber elk]

Why would I be a vtuber?

That’s

That’s like gooner stuff

[marsh iris]

lamb gaming

[nocturne bloom]

Money🤑

[cosmic lynx]

a fate worse than death

[timber elk]

But I rather be away from the internet world and be by my self :[

[nocturne bloom]

One of my exs became a vtuber amd blocked me on everything when she debuted

[graceful hamlet]

It doesn’t have to be technically

[somber stream]

Kettle didn't had any goon content, i love her so much

[halcyon pebble]

im not suprised

[timber elk]

Name me one fucking person that isn’t chibi or peanut who is not a avatar gooner material

[somber stream]

Pikamee

[timber elk]

Who?

[cosmic lynx]

you're gonna say who to literally anyone

[graceful hamlet]

Biboo and Rin off the top of my head

[somber stream]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[timber elk]

I don’t know who anyone of these people are

[graceful hamlet]

Git rekt

[nocturne bloom]

Stop looking at goon ones then

[cosmic lynx]

you asked the question

[timber elk]

Okay okay fair enough

[somber stream]

Moving on

[timber elk]

Agreed

Hmmm

It’s storming here

Good think i recently put in my window AC unit

All nice and good in here

Good to get bundled up in a blanket and sleep

[nocturne bloom]

I use a window fan until summer

[timber elk]

You mean winter?

[nocturne bloom]

No

It gets too hot at night for a window fan in summer

[misty trench]

having grown up in subtropical hellscape (paradise) without an AC I'm pretty content with anything Canada can throw at me so long as I've got warm enough clothes lmao

[timber elk]

I don’t like the heat

I was born during a blizzard. So I would prefer to be in the cold than in a extreme hot weather

[jaunty path]

Idea: tube baby born streamer girl

[somber stream]

I'm the Messiah in my family, spreading words about the A/C. I aim to convert every single last person to install one by the end of 2030

[jaunty path]

Oh fuck

Nice

[misty trench]

only thing with AC is the cost

[timber elk]

And the amps

Oof

[misty trench]

also y'know, not good for the environment

[timber elk]

It’s a window ac unit

[tired steeple]

I am also a creature of winter mysterious sound

[marsh iris]

its ok we may not be able to use it by then

[somber stream]

150k people die annually in Europe due to overheat, it's about time things change

[tired steeple]

Wasn’t born in a blizzard though

[timber elk]

How

[graceful hamlet]

Vtubers are just the digital evolution of muppets now that I think about it

[somber stream]

Heatstroke

Global warming

[marsh iris]

global stroke

[timber elk]

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Europe is cold

How the fuck is it that hot

[somber stream]

Uh

[misty trench]

global warming

xd

[somber stream]

https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/1152766

[marsh iris]

mods! virus!

[wintry steeple]

europe covers a decently large area and summer is hot

[timber elk]

Ew news. sighs and puts on reading glasses

Huh

[jaunty path]

Huh good point. Hmmmmm. The way I see it is her entire life is recorded down to the millisecond. She has a floating camera and a hidden security team

I wonder what she would do

[misty trench]

like Canada is pretty cold normally but I remember there being a heatwave where some places were hitting 40+ celsius which is like Australian summer's extremes

[jaunty path]

The other parts is how does one cope living that way

[timber elk]

Well the most I can say is just stay hydrated and go to the water resort or a local water park

Hell here in Michigan we have mini water parks for the kids

[misty trench]

meanwhile australia's recent heatwave was getting into the 50s

[timber elk]

PFFFFFTTTTT

[wintry steeple]

mitten person detected

[somber stream]

Gotcha, going to the water park to sleep at 11PM

[marsh iris]

some part of me wants every power station to be nukes

cleaner that way

[cosmic lynx]

nukes. cleaner.

[marsh iris]

until it booms

[somber stream]

That's lethal wtf

[wintry steeple]

good ol nuclear nothin beats that

[timber elk]

That’s too much for Neil the seal

[misty trench]

and like 50C is the kind of temperature where you're kinda dead if you're not in good condition lmao

[timber elk]

How can he break his traffic cones now

[marsh iris]

any cleaner and safer way to boil water?

[timber elk]

Yes

grabs a flamethrower

[marsh iris]

noo thats hybrocarbons

[wintry steeple]

get a shaolin monk to do it by sticking his fingers in the water or whatever

[timber elk]

Too lates. boils the hell out of the water and turns into holy water

[somber stream]

Also almost every Catastrophic nuclear accident (1) was man-made. Fukushima was a combination of 2 natural disasters

[timber elk]

So fuck Chernobyl

[somber stream]

An Earthquake AND a Tsunami

[timber elk]

Wait

Never mind I read that wrong

[marsh iris]

can mother earth just stop twerking

[timber elk]

No

I need my storm

[cosmic lynx]

three mile island?

[true minnow]

Three mile island wasn't anything but bad press

There was zero harm done

[misty trench]

also newer generation plants wouldn't have failed in the Fukushima situation

[true minnow]

People didn't communicate what was going on so it got blown out of proportion by people, it was a nothingburger

[graceful hamlet]

Nuclear energy is the cleanest way to make energy

[timber elk]

This speaks true to a lot of situations

[true minnow]

Nuclear is bar none the best energy

[jade stump]

I love boiling water

[hard gorge]

Nuclear energy is cool simply cause we get big fucking chimneys

[true minnow]

We are just fucked because of politics and hippies

[misty trench]

Fukushima failed because the diesel generators that are supposed to kick in got flooded as they were in the basement, newer gen plants have failsafes even if the generators and batteries die

[hard gorge]

the power generation is a bonus

[true minnow]

Oh and very stupid ignorant people

[graceful hamlet]

Boomers getting scared by nuclear energy has done irreversible damage to everything

[wintry steeple]

soviets somehow fucked up boiling water 40 years ago and now we all have to suffer the ramifications until the end of time

[hard gorge]

to be fair we had one plane crash into a skyscraper and now air travel is shit for everyone

well
2 planes

[misty trench]

you see a nuclear meltdown is scary but absolutely ruining the atmosphere and air we breathe is not scary, apparently

[marsh iris]

waiting for fusion energy, maybe just to boil water to get power

[misty trench]

ngl air travel is piss easy outside the US

the TSA is insane

I got racially profiled so fucking fast lmao

[graceful hamlet]

Global warming is also fake while living in a state near Canada that has had a nice balmy 60 degree winter with barely any snow

[true minnow]

Fusion is just a few years away don't worry

[hard gorge]

SAME LMAO

[misty trench]

they thought I was iranian (pre-passport check) I don't even want to imagine what it's like going there now

which like tbf, I got an iranian pal who is basically my doppelganger so

[hard gorge]

well in cali we had armed ICE people acting as TSA agents for a few weeks (they didn't do anything TSA related besides stand there with guns and pull aside brown people)

TSA got fucking pissed cause they weren't getting paid but still had to do actual TSA duties

[wintry steeple]

dont you know that birds, like, totally fly into those awful ugly windmills an' stuff? (for ~1% the ecological damage caused by an equivalent amount of coal energy but shut up, think of the poor birds, look its dead how sad!)

[hard gorge]

America!

[misty trench]

TSA also does that weird thing where they have a non-uniformed officer come up and grill you on why you're in the US and then you've gotta like...explain the concept of tourism

[hard gorge]

Boomers are simultaneously "KIDS ALWAYS ON PHONE GO OUTSIDE" and "DRILL FORESTS DRILL FOR OIL DRILL"

[somber stream]

Meanwhile German government:

Dissolve Nuclear energy program and reactors
Rely on import of oil and natural gas from Russia
"Let's go green guys, Gas car ban by 2035 yeeyyy"
Energy price surge, considering going back to nuclear
Almost all reactor are dissolved and the price is too high to generate any profit
"Guess we're sticking with oil lol"

[delicate vapor]

[true minnow]

Turns out greedy jerkoffs are in every government around the entire world

[misty trench]

the funniest thing about German hesitancy on nuclear is that France is already like 70-80% nuclear

like if those plants fail everyone in Berlin is gonna be glowing regardless lmao

[marsh iris]

tinfoil hat its all part of the plan to keep petrodollar in power

[somber stream]

Mfs place those right next to our borders lmao

[misty trench]

exactly lmao

[hard gorge]

I have some hope that once the newer generations are in a serious position to change things, but I've seen enough people my age fall for big oil propaganda to figure that it may take a while longer

[true minnow]

I live in the desert and generate enough with solar that I have no power bill, ever

[hard gorge]

the downside is living in, yknow, a desert

[wintry steeple]

if those plants fail nothing will happen at all because they werent built by vodka poisoned negligent communists half a century back :p

[misty trench]

South Australian electricity prices have actually been hitting negatives some months because of how much power they generate from solar and wind

[true minnow]

There is a lot of gambling and hookers though

So it sort of evens out

[hard gorge]

Nevada!
I got given like 5 porn cards on my last trip there

[wintry steeple]

[hard gorge]

they tried giving my brother some but he's like 14

[marsh iris]

[misty trench]

sounds like the Gold Coast but in a desert instead of tropics

[true minnow]

There is a casino out here called Gold Coast

[misty trench]

Gold Coast is my home town lmao

[true minnow]

Super asian friendly

[misty trench]

...it's pretty much a red light district with a beach

[true minnow]

Vegas is the 9th island for a reason I guess

[hard gorge]

I live in SoCal, so its mostly car dealerships and palm trees mixed with homeless people

[jade stump]

Explains the golden name, must’ve came as a regional bonus

[flint flame]

SO fucking real

[true minnow]

Do expeditions give good xp or haha lol lmao even

[jaunty path]

does anyone else think the music for dt is kinda mid after hearing it for 10mill times

[misty trench]

like the Gold Coast is literally the city which is just a giant red light district right on the beach and then the rest of the place is suburbs and sugar cane

[flint flame]

I enjoy driving through the ass end of GC just for sugar cane and mountains

I get hives having to drive past surfers on the highway

[true minnow]

Yeah at first I thought it was going to be like the Mechanicus soundtrack and hella sick

[misty trench]

driving up through beachmont towards canungra is so fucking nice

[true minnow]

But Fatshark cut every corner possible

[misty trench]

or hitting up springbrook, my partner fell in love with the rainforests

[jaunty path]

the only one I genuinely like is disposal unit

[hard gorge]

DT Music still is pretty memorable, i just think the problem with playing a game so much is just knowing all the music

[jaunty path]

Oh

and like one other one

[hard gorge]

Its like playing terraria and knowing how the underground theme goes by heart

[jaunty path]

i think it was dark communion boss music

[misty trench]

all the best parts of the GC are the ones that aren't tourist traps lmao (I guess this is true of most tourist towns)

[wintry steeple]

if you can listen to it 10 million times surely it cant be that bad

[flint flame]

Tourist traps... I live close to Byron, that's an eye twitcher

[misty trench]

the light rail at least makes going to surfers easy enough, same deal with Brissy, if I have to go by train it's not so bad but if I have to drive I'm spewing

not so much due to the drive itself but parking prices are horse shit

[flint flame]

After all this time I still haven't taken the light rail there, one day

[misty trench]

ok yeah you know the feel too well then lmao

I did take my partner to see the whales and dolphins travelling through byron tho

[flint flame]

So many beautiful places.... Away from all the popular ones

[true minnow]

Soon there will be a magnet train between CA and vegas

Airlines could only stop it for so long

[flint flame]

Oh the whales are lovely, I used to love going to see them - just sucks now that Byron doesn't have an off season

Always packed

[hard gorge]

anything so we dont have to take LAX

holy shit

i hate going to LAX

[misty trench]

yeah it was wayyy busier than I remembered since it had been easily like 7 or so years since I'd last gone

[flint flame]

LAX gotta be my least favourite airport experience

[misty trench]

LAX is a hellscape unto itself fr

[flint flame]

LAX took my fingerprints and grilled me on why I was attending a wedding in America

[timber elk]

has a made a mountain of blankets and pillows and his head sticks out quickly everyone. Inside. It’s nice and warm.

[hard gorge]

American airports have gotten worse as of late i think

[misty trench]

yeah they hit me with that+a retinal scan and pat down

[hard gorge]

last year I think a pair of german teenagers were strip searched cause they didn't have an itinerary when visiting Hawaii

[flint flame]

this was in the not-yet-covid-19

[flint flame]

YEAH SAME LMAO

[wintry steeple]

isnt it delicious how virtually every large-scale inefficiency in civilization exists because 5-10 specific people would make fewer billions a year?

[misty trench]

and like idk if it was just that particular TSA agent or what but my god do they get handsy in places

[hard gorge]

you ever have one really pat down your thighs? One did for me and I just made sure to maintain eye contact cause fuck you, im 16 and youre patting me down really weirdly
