general-chat

[timid bolt]

preach

[feral vessel]

tbf just going "we did it because it makes them more humanoid and thus more likely to be relatable to us" would've been a more corpo sterile way of doing it

could've just given the argos boobs for the love of the game

[somber stream]

Hist sap, interesting

[astral basin]

Thats exactly what they did
They just. Extended it eventually

Nerds in stockings or something

[feral vessel]

i was to poland and nearly bought stockings

too bad i was with a ""friendgroup"" enroute to a kfc

[cloud oriole]

real

[feral vessel]

good stockings that don't rip up after 2 days of use be hard to come by..

[astral basin]

…

[twin flower]

[cloud oriole]

yeah alot of em are really cheaply made

[marsh iris]

how high are your socks

[delicate vapor]

o deer

[feral vessel]

highest socks i have are knee highs

[marsh iris]

[feral vessel]

WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME I JUST WEAR STOCKINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE COMFY

[marsh iris]

im recording general chat lore

[twin flower]

im eating hotdogs

[lilac crag]

I too am in this episode !

[marsh iris]

i wear socks and crocs

[feral vessel]

i don't believe you

evisceration

[lilac crag]

deflects this

[feral vessel]

that fucking scene is a really good representation of what amazon does to the budget

/never watched invincible

[somber stream]

Not all thigh-high wearing is a femboy

[delicate vapor]

how do you know that

[somber stream]

But every femboy has a thigh-high

[marsh iris]

do you as a german wear thigh high with sandals

[somber stream]

I do wear knee-high sock with sandals

[astral basin]

f koz is likely asleep

Id ping them over this convo lmao

[marsh iris]

covering the knee or under the knee

[somber stream]

Under

Never go over the knee, that's a whole different domain up there

[astral basin]

You’re german
Lederhosen is stereotyped

[marsh iris]

[somber stream]

Ehhh mostly Bavarian

[marsh iris]

groin high

[twin flower]

[feral vessel]

yay and nay

general consensus is messy

[marsh iris]

are jeggings belly high socks

assuming the feet are covered

[twin flower]

jeggings?

[somber stream]

...no?

[astral basin]

If you assumed that i, as a southern statesmen, had a wardrobe dominated with jeans, boots, or some kind of cap
Youd be hitting the mark somewhere

[raven dirge]

At higher havoc, is Arbites or Hive Scum better in terms of survival

[somber stream]

Arb

[astral basin]

Its the jeans btw.
Pant jeans every day.

[gloomy tartan]

Jeggings

[raven dirge]

Is it a practical concern for hive scum

As in, can it just be solved by gitting gud

[gloomy tartan]

We’re talking about jeggings?

[somber stream]

Yes

[gloomy tartan]

In this year?

[marsh iris]

khaggings

[gloomy tartan]

Jeggings are comfortable

Ngl

Haven’t worn them in forever

[somber stream]

Scum is one of the most powerful class in the right hand at this moment

[gloomy tartan]

Why

Is it because of their possible damage?

[somber stream]

Nigh infinite ammo, armour pen, grenade and rocket

Also insane melee DPS

[gloomy tartan]

How they get inf anmo 😮

[stoic hollow]

At a cost

[gloomy tartan]

I didn’t know they had a ammo trick

[astral basin]

We are currently waiting on the
“Oh god why are we getting blown through walls”
Update
And then the class reworks to make them as strong as scum after

[stoic hollow]

You might be strong but one or two bad hits on high difficulties and you're dead

[gloomy tartan]

The rocket is insanely good

[rain idol]

Can't forget poison stuff

[somber stream]

Oh yeah

[gloomy tartan]

It’s clutch

[somber stream]

The grenade is the strongest in the game i think

[gloomy tartan]

It’s damage and aoe is so good from the missile

Very helpful for bad situations

[stoic hollow]

I only bought them yesterday but man it's really scratching that old knife zealot itch I've been having since N&V

[lilac crag]

scum currently has no competition in class strength. the funny part? not nearly enough people complaining bout it, unlike arbys release and how loud ppl were about it.

[gloomy tartan]

I miss when Arby’s first came out

[somber stream]

Because the skill ceiling is high

[raven dirge]

But how does it fare against a wall of gunners outside ult

[gloomy tartan]

The dog was insane

[somber stream]

A baby can play Arby effectively

[twin flower]

a barby

[gloomy tartan]

Remember when the dog first came out and how it would teleport from enemy to enemy

[stoic hollow]

Arbi feels incredibly braindead compared to scum

[somber stream]

Same as any other class, you dodge and move smartly

[blazing ibex]

omg u dont get it

[gloomy tartan]

Someone make Barbie the Arby now

[blazing ibex]

they're a glass cannon

[twin flower]

i wouldnt mind brainless fun every now and then

[lilac crag]

dodge spam and chem, that is literally it.

[blazing ibex]

they need to be so strong because they're so squishy!!!

[gloomy tartan]

Their like a little rat dog

They can do damage like crazy

But also be exploded by like

[lilac crag]

you can play hivescum wit h your thumb on your dodge button all match long, pressing it, and not get hit because thier dodge window being so absurdly abusable

[delicate vapor]

[gloomy tartan]

Tripping

You know what I mean

[nocturne bloom]

TBF arb was the first new class. People would be more critical about it

[somber stream]

Easy to say, hard to avoid hit when you're overwhelmed for the average player

[lilac crag]

first week of scum release was fun

everyone died

[gloomy tartan]

Scum can do insane damage but also they can be injured so god damn bad

[lilac crag]

thats really not true

[gloomy tartan]

Like some kind of rat dog

A chihuahua

A terrier

Etc

[blazing ibex]

Do any of you play Rampage scum?

[stoic hollow]

ok fair point, jittery really doesnt help, but in havoc the difference is a lot more pronounced

[rocky radish]

I enjoyed the hive scum announcements people raging and crying

[gloomy tartan]

Arby can be so damn survivable

[somber stream]

Red named

[woven sigil]

Aye in all fairness, that is not terrible for an Asian/EU connection, at all

[gloomy tartan]

Arby can survive some crazy shit man

[blazing ibex]

jittery does in fact help

A lot.

[lilac crag]

theres also things that invalidate enemies around you to abuse dodge even more

[gloomy tartan]

Between the shield and the dog

[blazing ibex]

I don't think it's necessary.

[stoic hollow]

no i mean doesnt help the reputation of hive scum

[gloomy tartan]

And the Arby’s mines that stun

[lilac crag]

forge bellow, street tough, hypercritical and violence

its nasty

[stoic hollow]

jittery is fucking stupid good

[blazing ibex]

But it's also a gamebreakingly dumb talent.

[lilac crag]

scum is stupid to play

just spam crit, spam dodge, spam chem

[woven sigil]

Reputation? You think Scum cares about reputation?

[stoic hollow]

i think i press m1 and flood your brain with fent

[woven sigil]

Nah mate, we take drugs and punch heretics, your petty construct of judgements cannot hurt us

[lilac crag]

ye

[blazing ibex]

yeah I'm just finding it amusing that Scum being a glass cannon is still like

A sentiment to have

When they're not

[woven sigil]

Literally noone in Darktide is squishy at this point, yeah

[rocky radish]

As a lower skilled player, it's a lot of fun.
"I keep teleporting everywhere and spamming light attacks and everything keeps dying. I have no idea what's happening, but it's fun"

[gloomy tartan]

Some scum lady called my cutthroat charming sarcastically the other day I was playing

[blazing ibex]

Ahem.

Veteran.

[lilac crag]

vet has 1 toughness dr thats significant

and its conditional

[low wharf]

How is vet squishy???

[blazing ibex]

Veteran, is the closest thing to an actual glass cannon at this point.,

[twin flower]

As a vet main, I disagree

[gloomy tartan]

Cutthroat likes reminding people to watch their back because everyone dies

[twin flower]

HEREESYY

[woven sigil]

Oh Vet? With his borderline immunity to damage during Exe and his ultra-easy access to gold toughness?

[somber stream]

I survive with Vet more than i do with Arb

[blazing ibex]

They only have toughness DR.

That's it.

No actual DR.

[woven sigil]

Noone is squishy in Darktide.

[somber stream]

Stay in coherency

[stoic hollow]

tfw golden toughness?

[gloomy tartan]

Vet just has to not get hit in the ass

Like any class

Any class wants to not get hit from behind lol

[lilac crag]

objectively speaking without shout vet would be in the gutter rn cus exec stance still thrives off of TDR and not actual DR

[gloomy tartan]

everyone allways wants to look forward and ignore flanking enemies from behind

[twin flower]

Is there even a class that benefits from being hit

[lilac crag]

oggy

[low wharf]

Oggy

[blazing ibex]

For 10 seconds on an ability that's averaging 30-40?

[woven sigil]

If Fatshark had balls they'd take basically all the DR talents out entirely, and ranged damage would hit toughness and melee would hit health.

[twin flower]

never played Ogryn so idk

[gloomy tartan]

With my veteran I can do some good pew pew

[blazing ibex]

Gold ain't what it used to be for vet anymore.

[gloomy tartan]

Nope

But we make do

[feral vessel]

hello chris, hello mac, hello stim-shady, hello heavy sword enjoyer, hello nut, hello alex, hello mayo, hello licht, hello cj

[stuck wasp]

Martyrdom Zealot I guess ?

[twin flower]

Still better than Infiltrate

[blazing ibex]

Exe stance is more preferable to me at this point.

[lilac crag]

hello dear sergal

[feral vessel]

hello heretic cacti

[stoic hollow]

actually that does remind me, is that one vet perk for cooldown on elite kill bugged rn

[gloomy tartan]

I did some aurics recently for first time.

[twin flower]

hoi hoi

[marsh iris]

[stoic hollow]

i havent noticed it doing anything at all

[gloomy tartan]

Did the aurics with my dumb middle tree vet

[blazing ibex]

Nope.

[lilac crag]

its on specialists, i mix it up alot

[blazing ibex]

Because it's not elites.

It's specialists.

[stoic hollow]

oh specialists right

[blazing ibex]

And Vet is the only class with this specification to their CDR.

[lilac crag]

so like trappers, flamers, dogs,theyre your snack

[blazing ibex]

Which is honestly kinda dumb at this point because they specifically did that to keep Shout in check.

[stoic hollow]

which im not concerned about because shooters are objectively bigger threats

bombers can go fuck themselves tho

[lilac crag]

you basically always wanna target specialists

[blazing ibex]

...

[gloomy tartan]

I love popping flamer tanks

[woven sigil]

Goddamn, this bacon an cheese sarnie is stacked. I should feel bad about eating 6 rashers of bacon in a sandwich first thing in the morning, but i absolutely do not

[blazing ibex]

I mean, Vet is the only class, that can actually invalidate gunners being a threat at all because of how ridiculous their toughness retention and DR is.

Exe stance vet can just let you facetank gunners without a second thought.

[gloomy tartan]

Yeah with three gunner resistance curios

Gunners less of a problem

[stoic hollow]

I've never had a game on havoc where trappers or hounds have been even remotely an issue

[blazing ibex]

excuse me

[stoic hollow]

Gunners will sit across the room and blitz your health down to nothing the moment they smell you

[woven sigil]

Well that sounds like bull

[somber stream]

Silent trappers:

[blazing ibex]

Alright.

What's the highest rank you've done?

[gloomy tartan]

The plasma gunners suck

[gloomy tartan]

30 so far

[blazing ibex]

Because as a regular H40 player

[woven sigil]

Trappers can be an issue in Auric.

[lilac crag]

i actually recorded a clip of a burster not exploding or making ANY noise 2 meters from me because my PBB was turned on

its really stupid

how audio

[blazing ibex]

Saying trappers and hounds aren't an issue

[lilac crag]

takes priority in abilites

[blazing ibex]

IS FUCKING WILD

[gloomy tartan]

Burster are pain

[woven sigil]

Hell, Trappers could be an issue in Heresy probably

[somber stream]

It's funny how both Helldivers and Darktide has enemy sound issue

[stoic hollow]

at the moment, 35, im never awake to run havoc 40 in eu servers thanks to work

[gloomy tartan]

I used to think resist bombers affected pox bursters lmao

[stoic hollow]

everyones gone by the time i get home

[gloomy tartan]

They are lol

[stoic hollow]

bursters ive had that issue with, not on trappers or hounds yet though

[gloomy tartan]

I can’t even hear the heretics effigy’s whatever sound their supposed to make

[stoic hollow]

same with bursters that like to walk right up to you and just sit there

[woven sigil]

Aye, like the enemy can hit you through tiny gaps, shoot through armour walls that are 20 deep, shoot through stairs, chainlink fences and have as jank audio cues as anything else. Trappers are so fucking dangerous its unreal

[somber stream]

Trapper is the single most dangerous enemy in the game, aye

[gloomy tartan]

Trapper then pox burster combo is bad on heresy

[somber stream]

At least you can put up a fight against Chaos spawn or the like

[gloomy tartan]

The trapper can hit you from a door corner and lift you up lmao

Like where allies can’t reach you

Some old bullshit

Mf scorpion ass GET Over HERE

[woven sigil]

That's bad in every difficulty. Its sods law at work. If you got netted a burster (or several) will be pulled through the warp directly to your location

[lilac crag]

as long as their shots can go through enemies, trappers will continue to be in the top 3 of dangerous enemies

[stoic hollow]

im not tryna say you're lying but do you have a clip of that happening, ive never seen that before

[somber stream]

Also apparently some guy in UK got banned on discord for 2 years for typing "You go queen" recently, the message was in 2025

[blazing ibex]

I mean #veteran-class message

[gloomy tartan]

When I’m in Dracula flow I’m linking headshots

[whole bough]

thats just discord

itll ban you for literally anything

[hard gorge]

how did this even come to pass

[gloomy tartan]

But then I slip up and mf it all likes to shit

[whole bough]

AI moderation

[hard gorge]

ofc its fucking AI

[gloomy tartan]

I still think my favorite moment in this game

[somber stream]

"Violation of child safety"

[stoic hollow]

oh wow okay yeah i see why theyre such a pain in the ass for you guys

[woven sigil]

Aye yeah no he didn't, he got banned for something else that he doesnt wanna disclose. Even Discord isnt that extreme

[blazing ibex]

That wasn't even recently either.

[gloomy tartan]

Once a pox hound pushed me out of the way and tackled a trapper down to a death void sacrificing itself to kill the trapper and save my life during a havoc

[blazing ibex]

It's only gotten worse with trappers.

[gloomy tartan]

I never went through so many emotions all at once

[blazing ibex]

I have seen one quite literally shoot me fully through a wall.

[somber stream]

#zealot-class message

Ehem

You go queen

[gloomy tartan]

That pox hound died saving me

[raven dirge]

and just a little bonus info I have 680 hours on this game and I was struggling on the first mission on the easiest difficulty from how little damage you do compared to how quickly you can die, at least pyker is super powerful to justify their squishy nature. Hive scum is just ♥♥♥♥ and I'm glad I didn't spend money on it.
steam review for hivescum

[gloomy tartan]

It killed that trapper and saved that havoc run

[woven sigil]

Yeah bollocks, I put money on that being a doctored screenshot

[gloomy tartan]

I’ll never forget that moment man

[woven sigil]

If it wasnt, then I wouldnt be sat here talking to you given some of the heinous shit ive come out with over this fucking platform

[whole bough]

since we're talking about hiding trappers have this again

#darktide-pics-vids message

[gloomy tartan]

Trapper was about to fucking ruin my havoc mission and the pox hound went all “ GET DOWN!” And pushed the trapper and itself into the death void

[blazing ibex]

And this is exactly why we have the power creep catastrophe that is current Hive Scum

[somber stream]

Idk, ever since EA banned people for saying "GG well played" In Bf6 as toxicity, these kind of things aren't so surprising for me anymore

[whole bough]

played until like level 3 probably

tghats half the reviews

[blazing ibex]

"psyker is super powerful"

[gloomy tartan]

you never know if the gg is real or sarcastic

[whole bough]

unironically

[blazing ibex]

somehow

[timid bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb0QA6045mc

[blazing ibex]

This person has neglected to realize

[somber stream]

GG - said Licht, maliciously

[whole bough]

"i wasnt good at the game immediately therefore its a bad game"

[blazing ibex]

Psyker is complete, utter ass to level up.

[stoic hollow]

i deduce psyker is OP, so we're giving ogryn another rebalance to replace heavy hitter with pillow talk

[whole bough]

wait are u licht ingame

[obsidian wren]

Im good brotato i usually solo missions

[woven sigil]

Nah, it surprises me. People will do nigh on anything to make themselves look innocent on the internet. In BF6 they were probably throwing slurs around prior to eating their ban an in this instance I don't even wanna question what laddie was up to

[somber stream]

Which one?

[gloomy tartan]

With ill intent

[whole bough]

i think it was a zealot? or psyker

black outfit kinda

[somber stream]

Only my Vet

[blazing ibex]

I mean

Somehow they even caught ogryn with the power creep with recent updates

[woven sigil]

There is moderation overreach and then there is blatantly lying about it on the internet for likes and good boy points.

[blazing ibex]

PBB Rumbler straight up

Should not exist

[stoic hollow]

Yeah I fuckin hate that

[whole bough]

pbb rumbler is the ultimate everything destroyer

especially on boomgryn

pbb boomgryn

[gloomy tartan]

You know what’s fun? Saying “ GET SUM! GET SUM! YEAH FUCK YOU! GET SUM!” While shooting a gun at the enemy

[blazing ibex]

If it's able to trivialize H40.

[stoic hollow]

The amount of havoc games where I've felt like I just don't get to play the game because everything is already dead

[woven sigil]

Nor should Trauma or Purgatus, and yet here we fuckin are.

[somber stream]

True, but if similar cases were reported en masse over a short period of time, something's up

[gloomy tartan]

The more ammo you shoot before reloading the more fun lol

[blazing ibex]

I can't fucking imagine playing with one in Auric

[whole bough]

a big part of the issue is that scav is completely OP rn

so ogryn gets literally infinite ammo

i can attest as i was spamming rumbler as pbb boomgryn in havoc

didnt ever run out of ammo and never picked up ammo

[blazing ibex]

Even if it wasn't, it's still completely sustainable without Surv

[whole bough]

yeah but not as much

(still you dont even need to use it often)

(just delete only big hordes)

[stoic hollow]

Havoc is bullshit sometimes and a bit of a slog but I still want to play, I don't want an ogryn holding my hand through the level

[whole bough]

canon ogryn

tbh

[woven sigil]

Thats in relation to BF6 yeah? I will take that with the heftiest pinch of salt possible because i've seen firsthand some of the shit that gets posted in the chat over there, and I play on HC servers which typically don't have a bunch of gobby squeakers on them, an they can get pretty vile. I dread to think how bad normal mode is.

[whole bough]

[blazing ibex]

Don't underestimate how disgusting people can be in relatively popular FPS games

[somber stream]

Strange, people i play with usually just doesn't chat at all

[whole bough]

i feel like scavenger did need a buff tbh but this bug is alittle much

[obsidian wren]

I just want havoc to be playable past 20 if you have nobody to play with

[whole bough]

conspiracy: not a bug just a change fatshark was testing

[obsidian wren]

Certain modifiers should be walled past a havoc rank

[woven sigil]

Mate. I played Arc Raiders for a bit and let me tell you, I've not been called so many slurs since the OG MW2 and Halo 3. That community is cancerous

[obsidian wren]

And tox puddles should die forever and never come back

[blazing ibex]

Hold up, lemme link something I put in zeal chat lol

[blazing ibex]

#zealot-class message

[stoic hollow]

how do you even find out they're a pedo

nvm i didnt read

[woven sigil]

Jesus fucking christ

[blazing ibex]

Read further down and you'll understand.

[stoic hollow]

wtf LOL

[somber stream]

Arc raider EU is a cesspool

The idea of cooperation is nonexistent

[delicate vapor]

o deer

[somber stream]

US is much more chill, surprisingly

[woven sigil]

I'm glad I ate my breakfast before reading that I'm not gonna lie

[blazing ibex]

Crazy thing is he was truly trying to say he was joking, but me and the other dude were not having it at all and the immediate second I heard footsteps, that was it.

I was playing a free kit so I wasn't losing anything that game anyway

[woven sigil]

Cesspool is being generous. Absolutely filled with gobshites

[raven dirge]

has the prologue changed at all since 2025 ?

[woven sigil]

Is there no FF in Marathon?

[blazing ibex]

Nah.

[woven sigil]

Fuckin laaame

[blazing ibex]

Honestly should make a mode specifically for that.

[somber stream]

Heard it's in a pickle due to low player count

[woven sigil]

What? Arc Raiders or Marathon? (Its both)

[blazing ibex]

Unfortunately.

[somber stream]

Marathon

Arc is still performing well enough

[blazing ibex]

It's sad because the game itself in its essence, actually surprised me. I've been having a blast.

[somber stream]

The plagiarism fiasco generate a lot of ill-will toward the game

Understandably

[delicate vapor]

pickle lighter

[blazing ibex]

The issue is, well, the marketing, the art scandal which turns out, wasn't really Bungie themselves being scummy but rather just not checking their shit cuz someone else that wasn't working there anymore was the one that put those assets in and left them there

And I think also just the fact that it's honestly

Not an easy game.

[hard gorge]

play tf2
shoot someone in the shooter game
get called slurs

[somber stream]

Why are kittens so cute

[woven sigil]

Weirdly, TF2, at least last i played it, was not even remotely a patch on Arc when it comes to player toxicity

People do not be handling the loss of progression in extraction games well.

[still rivet]

They want you to eat them.

[somber stream]

They do look appealing enough

[blazing ibex]

Maybe I'm just crazy

[somber stream]

But, never.

[blazing ibex]

I like the emotional rollercoaster of gain and loss.

[hard gorge]

Wasn't there something about some streamers encouraging fuckshit behavior on ARC or something

like just PvP for the sake of being a cock

[blazing ibex]

Any extraction game has those

[woven sigil]

So like, just PvP then?

[blazing ibex]

Alright, lemme say. I think there's nuance here.

[obsidian wren]

To be fair you can get a really good run with great weapons and great armor and stuff, and then by sheer fucking luck a naked little shitter with a pistol 2 taps you and you lose it all, so id be pissed too

[woven sigil]

That's the whole thing that makes the game fun, yeah

[blazing ibex]

Like the other day, I ran into a streamer's youtube short titled quite deceptively

Actually lemme get the title for it

[fiery wave]

Ppl hate losing, but perma losses is even worse than a 0-1.

[woven sigil]

I mean... In DayZ, sure. In Arc? Nah fuck off, you have meta progression and most of it revolves around the cheapest, easiest to get guns and ammo

[obsidian wren]

Tarkov n hunt showdown is AIDS

[blazing ibex]

Alright

Found it

[obsidian wren]

Generational run just for some sped with a pennyshot shotgun to hit your head

[blazing ibex]

"Killing teamers"

[woven sigil]

Aye, but then why actively choose to play a game that's whole premise revolves around you actually risking something?

[hard gorge]

"teamers"

[blazing ibex]

On Marathon, there's currently an issue where people are basically boosting by going into big calls and queuing at very similar times to make like, six people squads

[fiery wave]

Cos they expect to always win.

[blazing ibex]

Which, are called teamers

[hard gorge]

aaaaah

we used to call them stacks in For Honor
fucking hate fighting a coordinated 4 group, oh my GOD

[fiery wave]

Expect the world to revolve around them as the god.

[blazing ibex]

So naturally, you'd think they're talking about that

But no

[woven sigil]

And people wonder why they get treated like they can't tie their own shoes unassisted.

[blazing ibex]

What they're doing instead is basically being really social with players asking for help with their contract

And then just outright killing them when their guard is down

[obsidian wren]

It was genuinely less infuriating to hold your own against a stack back then then it is to play the game in general now

[blazing ibex]

I think that's shitty personally.

[obsidian wren]

For honor isnt even skill based anymore

[hard gorge]

i haven tplayed in over half a year

i miss the game though

[obsidian wren]

Its who can light the fastest simulator now

[hard gorge]

I always got diamond in competitive duels as nobusi

[fiery wave]

This happens even in IRL, backstabbing to grow or rise in power/fame/position.

[woven sigil]

Again, that is just PvP. Play DayZ. Seriously. All the things people who play extraction games bitch about is present there and its just part of how things work.

[hard gorge]

oh thats shitty as fuck

[woven sigil]

If you're dumb enough to turn your back on someone you dont know and dont trust. Then you lose your kit. It has always been like this.

[obsidian wren]

Dont ever touch it again if you have the sense to be stress free

[hard gorge]

honestly i think my opinion of extraction games are skewed cause I always just think of Dr. Disrespect

[fiery wave]

That's more DSP or so, absolute manchild who complains when he is a brainless tantrum throwing idiot.

[obsidian wren]

Its literally just devolved into lightspam and shitty gimmicky characters that ruin every concept of balance

[hard gorge]

"oh, the camera's on"

[fiery wave]

I can tell you, even an 8 year old can do puzzles faster than him. And by that, I mean solution.

[hard gorge]

pain

im all for mechanically interesting characters

but given FH runs on a skeleton crew and has for the last 5ish years its pain

[nocturne bloom]

Is that the guy that's spent like a million on that dumb WWE mobile game

[hard gorge]

i still remember hitokiri "haha heby on red"

ough

i used to cheese duels with the instakill shughug back in the day though

[fiery wave]

Oh yeah, idiot thought watching XXX before stream is a good idea.

[obsidian wren]

I KNEW the game was forever fucked and bound to die when they gave literally every character dodge lights, THATS when the game died

Even warlord

[wild mango]

is it normal for bots to just ignore me and walk around me when im down? spent 30 mins for this bs to happen

[obsidian wren]

Had a dodge light

[hard gorge]

yeah it's really strange

[woven sigil]

It's just so weird. So weird. Is it annoying getting killed by an 8 man when you're on your ones and losing your kit? Sure. But when the shoe is on the other foot, said player isnt going to bat an eyelid about bumping off that freshie who might have the item they need.

[hard gorge]

inb4 every character gets a dodge light, a bash, and an unblockable

genuinely taking out the identity of most of them

[earnest oyster]

honestly, could have been a trailblazer, just needed to switch careers after that 😏

[hard gorge]

i sorta understand standardizing heavy/light speeds for every character but now its getting weird

[obsidian wren]

Who thought it was a good idea to give a stalwart shield harraser a dodge light when he's supposed to be cornering and shoving you around

Not fucking poking you until you die

[sudden pelican]

Guys, why do poeple decline Havoc 40 invitations?

[hard gorge]

Remember Raider's stunning tap spam?

[fiery wave]

This is like in real life.

[hard gorge]

fucking ranked was full of it

[obsidian wren]

Raider mains can drown atp

[delicate vapor]

This rain making me sleepy

[sudden pelican]

Do you have to be at clearance 40 to join or something?

[fiery wave]

Totally, bile fetish and all that.

[hard gorge]

Raider/Warden mains, easiest to bait

warden hasn't had a kit update in years

[fiery wave]

They found better and the system auto decline when full, or you playing off meta.

[obsidian wren]

Ubisoft acts like taking away the flashbang made it any easier to deal with a raider soft feinting top lights faster than orochi

[blazing ibex]

I gots hours in Tarkov. I know that's a thing you can do.

[hard gorge]

people also kept sperging about Lawbringer and he became fucking ass to fight and boring to play

[woven sigil]

I mean, in a cruel kind of way, it is. If you left a group of people on their own in a survival situation, some are going to get along, some are gonna go off on thier own, and some are gonna backstab others. That wide arching potential for social interaction, for better or for worse is what makes the whole setup interesting in those sorts of games

[hard gorge]

its always a 50/50 unblockable or guardbreak

so fucking boring

[fiery wave]

Currently, yes, bots only focus on other bots. I watched them pick each other up ignoring another player before.

[lilac crag]

also if ur in fire they won't go in to pick you up

[wild mango]

they were all up and just circling me around 😭 the only enemy was a melee attacking me that the bots just watched

[obsidian wren]

I was there when it all began, i was a shugoki main, humble and agressive, and all was good

[woven sigil]

"Trust noone" and "No mic, No life", the two rules of extract/survival games

[obsidian wren]

Then ubisoft started adding "QOL" updates

God forbid we have something good in this genre

[fiery wave]

Is like jobbing, you know some will help try to get everyone fair treatment, some don't care and do bare min, some will backstab for a pay raise or promotion.

[hard gorge]

im going to fucking strangle everyone asking for a Lawbringer buff

lawbringer mains should be dragged out behind a shed and shot

[sudden pelican]

"Party is not eligible to undertake Havoc Assignment" what does that exactly mean? how to know who isn't eligable?

[obsidian wren]

Haha funny punch feint lightspam centurion

[hard gorge]

theyre always weird fucking redditors

[fiery wave]

There was no fire in that situation. I was waiting for invis while kiting two non-packmaster bosses hoping I get it in time to pick up.

[hard gorge]

"wow thanks ubi cent is viable now!"
NO HE'S FUCKING ASS TO FIGHT

[obsidian wren]

They're all ass to fight

[fiery wave]

Someone fucked up and didn't click the terminal and collect rewards or they left in mid run another havoc game.

[hard gorge]

80% of people asking for buffs cant be bothered to learn how to switch up combos or just feint

"guys he keeps predicting my LB unblockable feint into GB i need a buff"
no idiot, just light after the feint

or stop doing the fucking unblockable EVERY GODDAMN TIME

[woven sigil]

Up to a point, yeah, though most human interactions boil down to very base natural habits if you really look closely.

What can I get out of this for doing XYZ in ABC scenario. It's not particularly nice, but that's the way the species operates in regards to resources

[obsidian wren]

95% of their player base just learns how to spam unblockables and lights, none of them are genuinely good anymore- all the veterans and skillfull players left

Cuz ubisoft didnt listen to them

[hard gorge]

i get called slurs for always doing the nobushi top heavy since its undodgeable lol, people just keep dodging on red

not my fault you're a twitchy player

[delicate vapor]

Got called slurs while beating my friends ass in mortal kombat

[fiery wave]

Which is why I suspect things if ppl offer things free at times. What would they be wanting in return?

[hard gorge]

I've been playing since release
since i was... 13, holy shit

im 22 now

[lilac crag]

wasn't talking about your situation

[obsidian wren]

Me when free gladiator deflect skewer

[lilac crag]

just in general

if they see ur in fire, they will not pick you up

[delicate vapor]

[hard gorge]

Good gladiators are fun to fight but you genuinely feel like youre getting your ass beat BAD

also about a year ago didn't they make it so assassins no longer have reflex guard

[obsidian wren]

Its cuz they can punch you around and genuinely bully you into a corner and feint you to death

[nocturne bloom]

honestly just a thanks. i buy people stuff only if i like them

[hard gorge]

also i remember the last testing grounds i saw, they wanted to make it so ANY dodge could be a deflect. you could dodge left and deflect an attack coming from the top, for example

[woven sigil]

Depends on context. Unwise an approach to have in regards to dealing with someone who seemingly just wants to be friends, but yeah, when it comes to an item or resources, particularly the latter, there is usually a catch

[obsidian wren]

Worst thing they ever did

[hard gorge]

people hated it so much

Wait did they actually fucking implement it

[obsidian wren]

Yes

Its been a thing

[hard gorge]

fucks sake

[obsidian wren]

No more skill based characters

Whiny fans said game too hard

Ubisoft made it boring slop that a monkey could learn to do

[hard gorge]

learning curve is steep but people couldn't be ass to learn

*assed

[obsidian wren]

Shugoki was my first character i got behind, and it taught me how to be good with everyone

But once i played shugoki, even the biggest players couldnt stand long

[hard gorge]

Im looking it up now

so a forward dodge for any assassin is a deflect??? what the fuck

[stoic hollow]

oh we've moved on to for honor talk lets go

[hard gorge]

i remember it was just a PK thing and people hated it

but they added it to EVERY ASSASSIN?

[woven sigil]

Haha, Shugo. Just force trade with everything bro.

Get scammin'

[hard gorge]

people always expect you to charge the UB for the second heavy

i always just delay the heeavy a slight bit to get that gorgeous 40 damage meatshot

[obsidian wren]

People want to be bitches and exploit spammable shit, so ill give them an ass beating for it

[hard gorge]

I just cant fucking deal with highlander

i dunno what it is

the kicks come out way too fast

[woven sigil]

Sadly thats very much the way the game has gone in recent years

[hard gorge]

the grab I can predict but the kick is too fast

[fiery wave]

I mean, I know. Little me had to deal with many adult men asking for THAT stuff after they offered things that were unaffordable.

[marsh iris]

BP funny shield flip

[woven sigil]

Once Highlander starts chaining he can be a fuckin menace, but the saving grace there is the player has to be good to pull that off

[stoic hollow]

part of me is really glad they got rid of his enhanced lights in offensive form due to the 400ms light spam that felt more like 100ms, but its also made highlanders disappear completely

[woven sigil]

He aint like release Ocelotal was where any brainlet can pick him up and start mashing the pad into their face

[hard gorge]

If i know im fighting a highlander i always play conq/VG/WL because they fucking hate full block stance

[delicate vapor]

[stoic hollow]

highlanders were genuinely fun to fight compared to some of the other "high skill picks"

[marsh iris]

blursed

[obsidian wren]

Yes, but i have one good memory that truly made the 5 years of shugoki main worth it-

• was playing dominion
• shit on stupid berserker main that only feint spammed into lights and unblockable chains
• targeted me
• they still got shit on
• they ask to 1v1, i oblige
• they get fucking slammed and executed every time
• 500 slurs, they ragequit

[woven sigil]

Must admit, as boring and as busted as she is VG is one hell of a "I dont want to fight this hero" pick

[astral basin]

Hm

[hard gorge]

VG is for when im tired after a long day and I just want to hit two buttons at most

she has some kickass fashion though

i will say though, I do enjoy Ubi focusing on other cultures that arent the big three for medieval games

[woven sigil]

My apologies. That is... not good at all.

[woven sigil]

Oh yeah no for sure, limited so it is, it al kinda just works

[stoic hollow]

the only viking outside of zerk and his eivor skin that can look good

[obsidian wren]

I do love unblockable heavy trading and random bear hugs with shugoki, really pisses the little shitters off

[woven sigil]

Stinky Vage though, if you know you know 😄

[hard gorge]

an ancient egypt character? thats cool as hell
Mongolian? fuck yeah
wuxia china characters? cool as hell

[marsh iris]

vage...

[obsidian wren]

Va- va- va-

[hard gorge]

Ocelotl is pretty fun tbh, my hispanic friend was going nuts since he's related to the aztecs by blood i think

[woven sigil]

Pronounced as; "Vaj"

[jaunty path]

vagina

[obsidian wren]

[fiery wave]

Eh, you live and learn. And hey, you pick up the ability to write smut on the side. Yes, it stopped being enough for many of them at a point.

[hard gorge]

It'd be cool to get another Egyptian character but a khopesh and shield or something

[marsh iris]

she said it! she said the thing!

[woven sigil]

At this point he's tolerable, but release the dude was awful to fight

[hard gorge]

oh definitely

Ubi definitely needs more testers

every new character is unbearable on release or just mediocre

[fiery wave]

So someone lost even when abusing cheese?

[marsh iris]

ubi in shambles

[hard gorge]

i get needing to hotfix/tweak things after global player feedback though

[woven sigil]

I guess thats sort of a valuable talent

[obsidian wren]

Using ocelotl and prowling waiting for an opening to randomly take half of a berserkers health away was truly the pinnacle of being annoying

[woven sigil]

I will say, I dont think Virtuosa was as bad as people made her out to be outside of gank situations

[obsidian wren]

Yes

[hard gorge]

Virtuosa's dodge stance is fundamentally the full block stance

but just cheekier

[fiery wave]

I dunno, is fairly useless here. Just personal self entertainment to max for most parts.

[woven sigil]

She was kinda bogus in dominion scenarios, but not in 1v1

[hard gorge]

4 stack virtuosas on release

holy FUCK

but then it turns out those people don't know how to effectively use her too LMAO

so you just feint into fullbock as conq and smack them with your balls

or just GB cause they keep entering dodge stance

[stoic hollow]

Hey, I saw you just got off work, here's a deathball that only knows how to babysit gank and you have no undodgeable in your kit, have fun

[woven sigil]

Conq do love to smash his balls across the little ginger italian girl, it is true

[hard gorge]

I made my virtuosa as ostentatious and garish as possible

[obsidian wren]

Me explaining what happened in the strip club when a bunch of women jumped me for being based

[hard gorge]

very fun to draw salt with

[woven sigil]

Hey you never know mate, you might write the next 50 shades

[hard gorge]

"yeah the stripper got mad I didn't tip her so i feinted a heavy (pretended to hit her) and the bouncer came and ledged me (threw me out the club)"

[jaunty path]

ACTUAL BALL KNOWLEDGE

[fiery wave]

Absolutly not. I can't write starts nor ends whatsoever.

[obsidian wren]

This is such an insane sentence out of context

[acoustic pebble]

Fun fact: Skaven once talked to Eldar after one of their far-squeakers malfunctioned a bit

[hard gorge]

Wait how freaky is 50 shades anyway

[delicate vapor]

[woven sigil]

Its not

[obsidian wren]

Freaky shades of gay

[jaunty path]

Society.

[woven sigil]

Its creepy more than anything else

[hard gorge]

its a shitty representation of actual DOm/sub dynamics

[jaunty path]

Ah

[acoustic pebble]

It's as kinky as the human centipede. Honestly, just watch a porno

[jaunty path]

Never saw the movie but I can guess from the name alone

That

can entice someone

[fiery wave]

It's just forced fake consent into stuff. Like, written by an idiot who has no clue the basic rules of BDSM.

[hard gorge]

50 shades is what twitter doms think dom/sub dynamics are in the sense that they try to manipulate women into doing shit they dont want to do and think of it as "oh wow im good at sex"

[woven sigil]

Ive heard the human centipede described as many things over the years, but kinky is a new one. You might wanna get your head looked at

[jaunty path]

Ooh

[hard gorge]

50 shades started as twilight fanfic anyway

[acoustic pebble]

Never. My head shall remain unseen

[hard gorge]

im not joking

[jaunty path]

So writing the next 50 shades of gray means writing the next 50 shades of shit lel

[acoustic pebble]

And it was originally written on a blackberry

[hard gorge]

"LIKE STEEL WRAPPED IN VELVET, MY VERY OWN CHRISTIAN GRAY FLAVORED POPSICLE"

[obsidian wren]

Like steel encased in velvet*

Kill this man pls

[astral basin]

No elios
Its “rah rah oo nana, rara oo nana”

[obsidian wren]

The only reason i know that phrase is bc of legends of avantris

[hard gorge]

it says something when a 15 year old on AO3 can write better relationship dynamics than you

[obsidian wren]

Chuckles reading an excerpt from 50 gaydes of shay

[fiery wave]

Oh, I heard. Still geh. I barely know the rules enough to think of writing more than some mild D/S interactions.

[hard gorge]

I want your ugly, i want your disease...

[fiery wave]

Am I allowed to just shoot at that thing with an RPG?

[hard gorge]

I swear every mainstream BDSM movie is always just either:

Forced consent
cheating
"look its the guy on his knees we're different!"

It’s literally just political ultrakill

Also unrelated but i recently found out about 9gag (or was it ifunny?) pedophile lore

[sly quest]

WHAT

WHAT

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO EXPLANATION???

[marsh iris]

9gag....

[hard gorge]

apparently one of the sites went unmoderated for years because the entire mod team got swatted for CP and there was no one to replace them

[obsidian wren]

Gag 9 times?

Ew

[sly quest]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I genuinely don’t understand why people would leave all the crazy shit, gore, drugs, illegal shit, and always cling to cp.

Genuinely what’s wrong with humans. You see a small, innocent thing and you automatically think of sex?

I hope everyone dies.

[obsidian wren]

Even me?

[hard gorge]

the 9gag/ifunny community is capped mentally at 13 years old so it checks out that they want to fuck kids

[sly quest]

I HOPE EVERYONE FUCKING DIES

[obsidian wren]

Youre rude

[nocturne bloom]

You wouldnt want your ex husband dead right

[woven sigil]

Well I'm quitting smoking. So I'm afraid you're gonna have to put up with me for longer than you might otherwise have had to

[sly quest]

Yeah, figured. Its genuinely so insane that out of all these porn vids you gotta be a stupid fat chud and pick to prey on kids.

[sly quest]

Unless he’s into weird shit, no.

[sly quest]

You’re not weird, stim.

[nocturne bloom]

She doesnt want me dead guys

[hard gorge]

god i hate how the word chud/foid/whatevr else has entered public lexicon

cause like

[sly quest]

I’m talking about weirdos that need to fucking check themselves mentally.

[hard gorge]

that shit was deep deep incel forums knowledge

[marsh iris]

[hard gorge]

and seeing the most normie of normies say chud and foid and incel always throws me for a loop

[obsidian wren]

Funny words make me look smart

[nocturne bloom]

I blame the 67 kids

[hard gorge]

my girlfriend asked me what a pseudofoid was because some dude on twitter got pressed and called her one (it was some normie ass valorant player) and i was like a parent gently asking a child where they learned that word

[obsidian wren]

Lets kill them all

Purge every child that said 67

[hard gorge]

all internet lingo either comes from AAVE or 4chan boards

most memes come from 4chan too

[woven sigil]

What does foid even mean?

[sly quest]

Predatory sexual actions, misogynist and slavery and racism. All are related, a closed circle.

Humans are a mistake.

[hard gorge]

i remember a few years back i saw people trying to 'reclaim' wojaks from 4chan and it was exclusively the gayest thing i ever saw

[woven sigil]

Seen it a lot in here, but it just reads like gibberish

[hard gorge]

oh
Derogatory term for women

[woven sigil]

Right but what does it mean?

[hard gorge]

there's "roastie" but that just means a woman who fucks chads all the time
then theres stacy and becky... its genuinely so weird

[obsidian wren]

Spongebob wojaks are peak and you know it

a few years back i knew a couple of guys who would make original soyjaks and constantly say 'coal or gem' in relation to things and i've never wanted to actually beat someone with hammers more than that

[woven sigil]

The old skool ones were better tbh

[obsidian wren]

Gem alert

A male calling any woman a foid just shows you how sad and pathetic they are.

Nah… go looksmax or something, hopefully it will help with hiding your third chin roll😭

[hard gorge]

the incel/femcel community is wild

[marsh iris]

ive seen foid many times but i didnt bother enough to find out

[hard gorge]

im as twinky as you can get and ive had guys get mad at me because they can't believe someone like me has had sex, and then ive had women who got mad at me because i had sex

[sly quest]

No one dares to call me that irl sadly.

[woven sigil]

I miss the olden days where if someone was a cunt, you called them a cunt and went on about your day. It was a simpler time

[nocturne bloom]

Thats because irl people usually arent half dead

Youre a spongecake with a cream filling?

I dunno why people want to fuck human-looking robots when you could just clankclank a proper robot instead of some uncanny valleyussy

[hard gorge]

Kill me for saying that sentence holy shit

1am Nero is different

[obtuse oak]

I think it's short for femoid which is just a denigrating way to refer to women, no?

[nocturne bloom]

That would either kill me or the pancreas

[hard gorge]

yup, thats pretty much it

[woven sigil]

That.. is the shittiest insult known to man.

[sly quest]

You will have a piece of me in you tho

[nocturne bloom]

it was unironic until the wider internet got a hold of it

[woven sigil]

Like how is anyone supposed to find that offensive and not just roll their eyes

[nocturne bloom]

Youre too innocent to understand

honestly i think visiting the incel forums out of curiousity as a teen helped me realize "holy shit i NEVER want to be like these people"

[woven sigil]

No wonder its so hard for youngsters to ragebait millenials at this point given this shit is what you've come up with

[nocturne bloom]

Please dont beat my wife

[sly quest]

The answer would be “yes! Go harass women online n tell them you’re fat, ugly and desperate. And that women your age are horrible because you can’t control yourself and get a better life or work out for an hour daily. Oh? The women online ignored you? Go shoot a random woman!”

[obsidian wren]

[sly quest]

Ok work time.

[hard gorge]

i feel like the incel community runs from "I need to fucking kill women because they ignore me/are ignorant greedy harpies" to "im just kinda sad that no one wants to fuck me because im indian"

[fiery wave]

Yes. But you can just cube the steak into an electric pot to 'fry'.

[hard gorge]

this fucking killed me lmao

[fiery wave]

Or just make soup if it's cheap steak you slice up.

[hard gorge]

i fucking love steak

[woven sigil]

Who doesnt

[hard gorge]

I actually had a proper steak for my first time for my birthday last week

excpet in my mind i was expecting some cartoonishly big red t-bone a la looney tunes

i got a 6oz sirloin and realized "oh yeah I suppose it can just look like a disc"

[fiery wave]

Only factor is cost. Good steak here, even raw... isn't cheap.

[hard gorge]

it kicked a ton of ass though, so good

[hard gorge]

yeah usually people charge more if you want it raw

[woven sigil]

Kinda true with most decent cuts of meat, and even fish. You want quality, you gotta pay out for it

But that cost is often worth it

[fiery wave]

Marinated is cheaper, but you can guess why.

[woven sigil]

Because they already adulterated it

[lilac crag]

see u afterschool

[woven sigil]

Yeah ok, that is not a great deal in the grand scheme of things, understandable to stay away from more expensive food should that be the case

[fiery wave]

But frag doesn't hit through closed doors and such. Nor out of map cultists.

[feral vessel]

yeah after i spent 3 hours roleplaying as a plant twink

[fiery wave]

Hey, is better than 10 cents a day. We have no min wage btw.

[hard gorge]

"Hey buddy I think you need to go outside and talk to people IRL"

[woven sigil]

Should be illegal.

[feral vessel]

yeah i do that

real people suck

i would be a plant twink if i could though

[fiery wave]

Oh, I know. Plus, China has many interesting freeze dried stuff nowadays to make.

[feral vessel]

have a bad day all of u im mad because of magos btw feel free to kill them for making me mad

[fiery wave]

But is not, there's just no minimum. Or well, Mcdonalds sets the min. Nobody real wants to pay less per hour than them.

[woven sigil]

Aye, i can imagine China has an extremely varied amount of food options should you be willing to look around a bit

[hard gorge]

Beat me with hammers!

[hard gorge]

Chinese cuisine is pretty good tbh

[woven sigil]

Still. Im all for some jobs paying better than others to incentivise people training for the position and what not, but a basic, livable minimum wage should be the standard anywhere that claims to be a developed nation

[fiery wave]

More, use Shopee to get them delivered. Good stuff. The freeze dried HaiFuSheng porridge is a great midnight snack/breakfast.

[hard gorge]

My girlfriend back in high school would cook me all sorts of stuff

[hard gorge]

Exactly
Some jobs obviously are going to pay better than others but everyone should be able to eat and sleep under a roof at the very least

[woven sigil]

I assume thats probably not porridge as an English bloke knows it to be?

[fiery wave]

It's livable, barely. You just don't quite get luxuries or comfort and live on products that break every few years because cheap.

[hard gorge]

One thing that genuinely pisses me off though are the amount of food waste thrown out by chain stores

Its gone back for decades

Not even just a Walmart thing

[fiery wave]

Think Chinese congee, but more solid.

[woven sigil]

Aye

[hard gorge]

hey people arent gonna buy this food so we might as well toss it and make sure no one can get it for free from the garbage
shouldn't we donate it?
what? Wheres the profit incentive for that?

[fiery wave]

Can probably google the brand.

[woven sigil]

I must confess, I'm not familiar with that either, the extent of my asian cuisine knowledge is very limited outside of Indian food

[fiery wave]

Congee is basically just soft very overcooked rice with usually meat, century/salted eggs. Normally more bland if you make for someone sick or more flavourful if just normal breakfast.

Think Asian savoury oatmeal.

[hard gorge]

Congeez nutz

[marsh iris]

meat flavoured porridge

[hard gorge]

I believe thats called stew

[fiery wave]

MSG included.

[marsh iris]

msg 🤤

[hard gorge]

It wont taste authentic without MSG

[woven sigil]

That sounds alright to be fair

[hard gorge]

It stands for mmm, so good!

[raven dirge]

Leveling up a class is still such a slog

[woven sigil]

Not sure im sold on the century egg part, but aside from that i'd certainly give it a go

[marsh iris]

its uhh acquired taste

[fiery wave]

I mean, the craziest thing in it for an avg westerner is pork organs and century eggs... if it were like the 1990s to early 2000s.

[hard gorge]

Anything egg related in Asia is either really good or off the walls weird

Balut comes to mind

[marsh iris]

hard boiled egg white texture becomes like jello

[fiery wave]

Just break and mix a normal egg or cook a salted egg.

[fiery wave]

Century eggs? For not Asians, yeah. Some Asians hate it already lul.

[marsh iris]

i mean i can eat it but not my kinda jam

[feral vessel]

chat you got good ideas

i want to write a book about a guy wandering through a megastructure.

what name da book..

[woven sigil]

I don't love the idea of eating offal, however it has also been done for millenia and stuff like kidneys and liver isnt exactly unusual to eat even now. The egg only puts me off due to having seen people eat it on the internet before an it looks.. like it could be a struggle

[raven dirge]

White knuckles

[hard gorge]

"The Wanderer and the Planet of Steel"

[fiery wave]

It's also very strong tasting. I swear if an Asian joined Fear Factor, part of the eating challenges become a joke.

[feral vessel]

i was thinking something with a similar naming convention like GODHUSK or White Knuckles..

so.. two words

cryptic

[feral vessel]

that one sounds cute actually

[woven sigil]

Aye, that would make sense, I'm not sure how its made but if i remember right its some sort of fermentation process? That usually leaves a pretty strong flavour in food

[marsh iris]

beef lung 🤤

[hard gorge]

"The last Priest of a God Artificial"

[feral vessel]

THEY FROM BEYOND THE WALL.

that one might win..

[hard gorge]

"Mechanical Divinity"

[feral vessel]

sounds a bit metal.

[fiery wave]

Its just inducing a change in the egg to turn it into a black jello like texture. Always get unwashed because the 'soil' usually means it was made the traditional way rather than the chemical way.

You just break it off and wash the shell yourself before cracking and peeling.

[ripe tangle]

what tea eggs? I like tea eggs.

oh

Century Eggs… nvm

UGH

[feral vessel]

mechanical divinity a bit too religious

hmm

[ripe tangle]

tea eggs good, century eggs yuck

[feral vessel]

i dont know if i wanna make it religiouslt themed i struggle with writing religion

[marsh iris]

egg flavoured dark brown jello

[wooden creek]

Evil Big Chungus Building

[woven sigil]

Aye it was dead at "black jello" for me, thats transmutation of something that should never be transmuted

[woven sigil]

What is a tea egg?

[fiery wave]

Egg boiled in tea.

[woven sigil]

Dare I ask that as a Brit

[marsh iris]

idk if a fair comparison would be jellied eels

[timid bolt]

what about black tofu?

[fiery wave]

Though the tea is more herbal tea.

[woven sigil]

Oh that doesnt sound amazing, but it also doesnt sound like it'd make me violently sick so 🤷‍♂️

[ripe tangle]

a tea egg is an egg that has been boiled in tea, soy sauce, and spices

[fiery wave]

It shouldn't, the herbal tea can even be drunk as a soup.

[marsh iris]

they poke a hole in the egg shell so the tea/soy can seep through

[ripe tangle]

the combination makes the egg taste like boiledegg+

and it leaves a cool marbeling on the white part

[fiery wave]

The freakish part is, you will be boiling them for 3-7 days.

[marsh iris]

is that the taiwan iron eggs

[somber stream]

Wtf

How does it taste??

[fiery wave]

Gently cracking the shell after first boil to ensure the tea seeps in.

[woven sigil]

That's pretty out there, I didnt even know you could boil an egg for days on end without the egg disintergrating

[ripe tangle]

I just answered Licht

[somber stream]

I just got here Lucia

[fiery wave]

Herbal tea eggs. Actually delicious.

[marsh iris]

abolish reading

[somber stream]

Egg plus huh

Curious

[ripe tangle]

more or less lmao

[feral vessel]

die

[marsh iris]

its not that bad actually, egg with uhh... slight nutty smokey taste?

[fiery wave]

You should, really easy to make even, just takes 5 days.

If you want it to taste good.

3 days min or no flavour imo.

[somber stream]

5 days

5 whole days

[ripe tangle]

I was always told 3 days

[marsh iris]

so you have to suffer hunger for 5 days

[fiery wave]

3 is min to sell.

[ripe tangle]

makes sense

[fiery wave]

Or you just have eggs with brown marks.

[marsh iris]

i like those with the cool brown crack marks

[ripe tangle]

my Mom used to make Tea Eggs, and I would sometimes get then from the Asian Market

[fiery wave]

You want flavour, you need to invest in a slow cooker and let it run.

[somber stream]

Unthinkable!

I'll look into it once i'm able

Sounds interesting

[marsh iris]

a small price for decadance

[ripe tangle]

you guys are aware that patience is virtuous right?

[fiery wave]

Just add more tea if if needed.

[ripe tangle]

and that there’s a thing called delayed gratification

[somber stream]

Ramen egg require but 1 night

[jaunty path]

What do you think the most optimal way an imperialist alien race can dominate earth

[somber stream]

But i agree, there's virtue to patience

[somber stream]

Monopolize basic needs

[ripe tangle]

it’s also healthy for the mind to be patient and to practice it

[somber stream]

Like the lizards are doing now

[marsh iris]

licht wants his blitzei

[jaunty path]

Okay mine does that. And has a monopoly on violence. But ensures everyone gets their basic needs and beyond

[marsh iris]

i might have butchered it

[fiery wave]

But hell, it's worth it. Plus, you usually make like a dozen or so at once. The first ones will be mild, the last 2-3 will be either the best or too strong.

[jaunty path]

the plan is to knee the government into putting their taxes towards things the public actually needs

like health care

free water

other bullshit

[fiery wave]

Is also why it can be left in the pot till you want to eat them.

[lilac crag]

hmmm

gym at 12pm

hot outside.

[jaunty path]

Oh boy what are we talking about tonight

[somber stream]

Monopolize food sources

[marsh iris]

hot insides

[little marten]

REPTILE OVERLORDS MENTIONED
