[maiden escarp]

Lmaooo

[analog pollen]

did both of you wake up at the same time

morning btw

[maiden escarp]

I mean I woke up at 5

She woke up at 8

[analog pollen]

and now its...

8?

[maiden escarp]

No

It's 5 for me

[analog pollen]

youre gmt -8?

But not as west as Jake

[maiden escarp]

[vivid moon]

He used to be in the same timezone as me

||just gotta sprinkle in a couple of untruths||

[maiden escarp]

Man I can't wait to get both firefly and Ruan Mei today

[analog pollen]

idk what that means

[maiden escarp]

Surely this will come to pass

[vivid moon]

Have fun!

[maiden escarp]

100 pulls and a dream

[analog pollen]

i just want to play monster hunter

but stupid exams get in the way

[vivid moon]

I thought it was other people not having played the game getting in the way

[analog pollen]

i mean i can play solo

and have the other friend+ randos if i really need coop

[maiden escarp]

I have stupid taking my mom to the airport and then showing up to work to cover for one of my coworkers for the 4th week in a row to get in the way

[analog pollen]

the only reason i kept suggesting it was cuz i thought it'd be a cool activity to do in vc as a group to bond over /spend time together

but yall are lame and dont wanna spend time with me

[daring raft]

that firefly banner has the worst fucking name i've ever seen

Firefull Flyshine

[maiden escarp]

What a dumb name

[daring raft]

Coming up with random shit that doesnt even sound good

[gleaming crane]

im actually fine with that minamoto no raikou

cus its not the huge one

[gleaming crane]

on that note

i gotta push through babylon

[daring raft]

Mfw you can reject Firefly’s photo offer

but the photo still exists anyways when it was never taken

@analog pollen

[daring raft]

At least before it got fixed

[analog pollen]

Is that the photo

[daring raft]

This is

[maiden escarp]

astral

did you spend all of her budget on food

during the quest

[daring raft]

I got her on 50/50 too

[analog pollen]

Humu humu

[maiden escarp]

no i mean like during the trailblaze quest

[daring raft]

Didn’t keep track tho of how many rolls it took

[daring raft]

Which one?

[maiden escarp]

when youre on a date with her

and you get to buy food

[daring raft]

I don’t remember

[maiden escarp]

man

i gotta know if my superstition is right

[daring raft]

Meanwhile my friends who are actual simps of her are spending everything they got in terms of reserve pulls and only barely make it

[daring raft]

Imma see how far I am from Ruan Mei

I got Clara as the next pity

[analog pollen]

I thought you stopped caring about the game

Whats with the pull craziness now

[daring raft]

I did

Since I’m likely not playing anymore

It doesn’t really matter if i just died up all my reserve pulls from back when I thought I was gonna seriously play it

[analog pollen]

And you had this many

Goddamn

[daring raft]

Yep

I was serious about Fu Xuan then

Also helps that the game’s gacha economy warrants giving out more handouts by just logging in for a week so

Anni wasn’t too long ago either

[vivid moon]

yeah but the handouts kinda even out with how many new characters they release

at least with genshin you get a break somewhat with reruns

[daring raft]

Yeah tbh it really just adds up after a while when you see the kind of gacha game HSR compared to Genshin.

Down to grinding, combat structure, pipeline, and LCs, it’s only barely similar in some aspects but def not 1:1

[gleaming crane]

what i have so far

[maiden escarp]

16 PITY

WE ARE SO BACK

HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK

[daring raft]

Nice

[polar prism]

Ok playing through the story rn
||Now I'm convinced they will try to actually give a character a proper beard at some point||

[daring raft]

Why’s that?

Surely you mean more than ||a specialized looking NPC like Oleg||

[polar prism]

I mean
If they willing to do that, why not

They certainly seem to be able to

[daring raft]

They always could. But what did you mean by what you said earlier?

[polar prism]

||yeah, I was talking about Oti's model, if they can do it for an NPC, I'm sure they can do a playable||

[daring raft]

Got a screencap?

[analog pollen]

they could always do it

[daring raft]

I haven’t seen him

[analog pollen]

that wasn't an issue

i keep forgetting thats a censor smh

the issue is that they dont care to cater towards any other preferences other than kpop stans

[daring raft]

The only things keeping them from doing that:

themselves
keeping ||facial from looking cringe with their current models (doable)||
what they wanna sell to their target audience

ZZZ is very likely to have less of this ‘issue’ to and extend with how relatively outlandish their roster is already, and seems to have a somewhat different target audience

But only time will tell

[analog pollen]

that's literally what i said

[daring raft]

You wanna go?

https://tenor.com/view/blue-archive-arona-gif-26420148

But yeah

Let’s wait and see what they do for Huaiyan

And that’ll only affirm this further

[vivid moon]

god DAMN

[gleaming crane]

e2 and e3 were almost back to back too

i wish i screenshot it

[vivid moon]

You could screenshot the history once it loads

[gleaming crane]

yea

[maiden escarp]

Kc what about my pulls

[vivid moon]

What pulls

OH

I'll be honest, I thought that was still shoko KSBDOWBFOWBG

[maiden escarp]

WOOOOOWWWWW

[polar prism]

||these fuckers really forgot to give Argenti the voice over again...||

also for the pulls

had 41 in pity
got FF after 4 multis

...and her LC in a single multi with only 1 pull in pity

then lost on Ruan Mei to Gepard

lel

[maiden escarp]

My gf lost her 50/50 to yangqing

[polar prism]

and done with story

as i assumed, much shorter than 2.2, given that we've already reached the climax of the story and this is just an aftermath

[pulsar junco]

i won the 50/50

[analog pollen]

congrats~

[pulsar junco]

thank you

[vivid moon]

Her luck finally ran out 😭

[maiden escarp]

I need to send you a pic

[analog pollen]

male armor in monster hunter

female armor in monster hunter

[maiden escarp]

You're cherry picking for sure

I know most of the armor has the boobs out

[analog pollen]

i mean

im literally wearing this rn cuz theres nothing better

[analog pollen]

these guys are so silly

[analog pollen]

@gleaming crane btw do you still plan on playing or nah

[gleaming crane]

yea

ill download it when i get off work

[analog pollen]

ooo

kleesis

[vivid moon]

I need to send you a few too

These are all monster hunter, all male vs female versions of the armor

Apparently the one you sent of the shirtless man is one of the exceptions to the rule for male armor from what I can tell, which having seen only two like it vs the women having plenty of examples of having less or sexier armor lmao

[analog pollen]

theres also like

[vivid moon]

Granted I see that monster hunter also has plenty of female armor that is covering the entire body as well

[analog pollen]

teostra beta+ iirc

i used it in my older save

made me look like a male hooker smh

or wait no

i think i used the kirin jacket with ti?

i forgor

[vivid moon]

The Kirin jacket is what you have on in the screenshot you sent

[analog pollen]

yea this

really unfortunate combo

[vivid moon]

Then I see Anubis armor that's also shirtless

But that's basically it

Vs several if not dozens of versions of female armor where you can see their cleavage, thighs, midriff, etc to look sexy

And the same goes for anime and other games

Because "sex sells"

[analog pollen]

but yea speaking of kirin

i really love their design for it

it's a really good mix between a traditional chinese qillin and an european unicorn

[vivid moon]

Is that not a traditional Kirin/qilin but white?

[analog pollen]

it feels really horsey to me

and its main attacking part is the big horn on its head which qillin dont traditionally have

[vivid moon]

But qilin have 1-2 horns/antlers- unless wikipedia is just wrong on that front

I was originally gonna use images from Google image searching qilin but half of them look ai generated and me no trust

[analog pollen]

yes

but that's not a horn

[vivid moon]

Are we going to get semantic or is it specifically called a horn in the game

Because you can't always tell a horn from an antler by looking at it since the difference lies with its function and the material used for it

[analog pollen]

they're different body parts

what

antles are on the top of the head ,there's 2 of them, and have a branchy shape

horns are basically just long circular spikes and are in the middle of the forehead

im not sure what youre trying to argue

[vivid moon]

A horn is a permanent pointed projection on the head of various animals that consists of a covering of keratin and other proteins surrounding a core of live bone. Horns are distinct from antlers, which are not permanent.

Both are made of bone, but horns are covered in keratin and are permanent to the structure of the body while antlers aren't

[analog pollen]

kc im just talking about creature design not biology

😭

[vivid moon]

But you said it isn't a horn, which is why I asked

[analog pollen]

wat

when did i say that

[vivid moon]

This

[analog pollen]

i said antlers arent horns

they look visually distinct

[vivid moon]

Yes, antlers aren't horns but I asked if it specifically calls it a horn in-game

And the wiki page mentions both horns and antlers on qilin

[analog pollen]

yes

im in the character creator rn but

have a kiranico screenshot

[vivid moon]

Kiranico

[analog pollen]

and p sure the item reward screen say break kirin's horn

and i mean

it's very obviously based on an unicorn horn

[vivid moon]

This is gonna sound rude again but that's the weirdest looking unicorn horn I've seen in a while

[analog pollen]

if you mean my first pic it's cuz i broke it

[vivid moon]

Oh okay

[analog pollen]

have you seen the rajang cutscene btw

[vivid moon]

Had to Google the rajang and I think so

Or wait maybe not

I might be thinking of a different game with a similar looking creature

[analog pollen]

I literally just pinged you there a few days ago

i dont wanna post just for the sake of posting

im looking for conversation

[lament bramble]

Hopefully a better debut than the Love Live gacha

[gleaming crane]

its cygames

the only problem it faces is that

how well theyre gonna market it

[lament bramble]

PriConne

[gleaming crane]

it also depends on how attached people will be to its gameplay

because its not what most, well, "normie" gacha gamers are accustomed to

so itll definitely have its own fanbase (me included) but as for someone thats not used to that gameplay, itll be either very easy for them to get into or very ahrd

hard

I know I saw it somewhere last night and now I can't find it

It was posted in a channel in one of the servers I'm in

It wasn't NSFW either it was literally just

Firefly in that image, but she had no shirt like she was inside sam

And she says something like "oops, I didn't mean to send that"

[maiden escarp]

Hoyo has unrealistic depictions of that anyways smh

You'd at least see the crack from some of the angles they show her

#giveustheboob

[vivid moon]

Yeah but not in that image

But I agree, it looked kinda uncanny in some shots during her demo videos

Especially when they have nothing against modeling someone like ganyu

[daring raft]

when it HSR gonna give us swimsuit skins already

[analog pollen]

do oyu think they will

it feels like it's not that type of game

[lament bramble]

[analog pollen]

no i mean

it's very impractical for swimming

those weavy fabric things at the back dont serve any purpose and are just gonna get wet and weight you down in the water

you want skin tight stuff for swimming

[lament bramble]

Barbara's is a bit better

Since presumably she could take off whatever that coat thing is to actually get in the water with the swimsuit underneath it

The opening line of the chorus (first line of the song) specifically is what popped into my head

[analog pollen]

wait you can't change the volume on embeds anymore

sadge

[daring raft]

☝️ ☝️ ☝️

they only did beach wear once

but HSR is of the Honkai brand branch afterall

[analog pollen]

it is honkai tied but to me it feels like ther marketing style and overall target audience is closer to genshin

the older honkai games felt like the more stereotypical gacha that was only targeted towards horny men

post genshin hoyo games feel like they're casting a wider net than that

(also for some reason your pfp makes me think youre shoko)

[daring raft]

HSR is still subtly horny (see: Ruan Mei when you first meet her)

they should capitalize on that

[analog pollen]

gib me beta mona design

disintegrated

[daring raft]

thinking Beta Mona looked good

Where's that unfriend button

.jk

[analog pollen]

listen

im a simple man

i see fit woman body type with exposed ass and legs

i like

[daring raft]

go back to early 2010s Mihoyo era, you simple man. You have no place here anymore.

[analog pollen]

issok

i have hi3 bikinis

[daring raft]

jokes aside tho...I wonder if they're gonna totally opt to new character alts/path changes instead of skins like Hi3 or GI

like what they're doing for March

....actually no

march is a bad example

[analog pollen]

how long did it take for genshin to add skins

[daring raft]

given she's a freebie

[daring raft]

they did it within a year

1.6

[analog pollen]

cuz if honkai is past that date then i htink it's safe to say they're not gonna do alt skin

they do everything faster than genshin did

[daring raft]

uninstalled

lame game

[analog pollen]

i thought you already quit a while back

also for what's worth

remember that disscussion we had a while back about how it feels insanse for star rail to still be doing 2-3 new characters every single patch

i think them making skins separate character is a way to take some load off the designers

they dont have to come up with 2-3 unique characters to add to the ongoing plot , they can use some older charas and slap some new clothes on them instead

and still sell the same amount of gacha

[daring raft]

HSR's already at a point where not every new 5* is getting their own companion quest upon launch anymore

t'is what it is

[analog pollen]

oh i didnt realise they stopped that

oh well

[daring raft]

yeah the most recent one will be Jade.

You could make a case for Firefly like you would GI's Wanderer, Kazuha, and Shenhe. Where their backgrounds are already covered in depth in permanent main story or interlude content that it compensates for a character centric story quest. And eventually they may get one, like Kazuha did.

You might include Aventurine's case too.... At least with his circumstances as he launched (amirite KC and Golden? )

[analog pollen]

oh wanderer is part of the main story?

interesting

[maiden escarp]

What

Yeah wanderer is a part of the main quest

It's the last act of sumeru

[analog pollen]

humu humu

[maiden escarp]

But most of the penacony characters don't have story quests

The only one that does is sparkle, and that was supposed to be a black swan one

[gleaming crane]

i guess they decided to change it up

[maiden escarp]

It's weird cause that was their whole flow

But I guess it makes sense?

Penacony was much more narrative focused than the luofu

[gleaming crane]

on another note

[daring raft]

or to be more exact, his scenario is in an (currently and strangely) optional Archon Quest interlude chapter that also serve as a pseudo epilouge to the Sumeru AQ. But's also gone some very important deets that tie into main plot too.

[daring raft]

yeah they were a 2-in-1 from what I could tell lol

also Yanqing was funky too

[gleaming crane]

it says in mona lore she came from fontaine so i want to see the hag she keeps talking about

[daring raft]

cuz Jingliu stole most of the spotlight

to the point where

people thought it was HERS

[daring raft]

Nah Mona's not from Fontaine, it was speculated, but recently debunked. She's from Dornman Port in Mondstat, but handles lots of business related matters in Fontaine. Esp with the Steam Bird.

[gleaming crane]

oh

which reminds me

[analog pollen]

this reminds me

do yall remember of the illegal liyue gambling underground thing

what happened to that

[daring raft]

idr it being a relevant topic ingame to begin with

(so far)

so it's water under the bridge from ages ago atp

[analog pollen]

sadge

[daring raft]

Dw I’m sure a hoyo intern is lurking this convo rn and is heading over to pitch the idea to his bosses

[lament bramble]

https://fxtwitter.com/honkaistarrail/status/1806749671861494074?s=19

[vivid moon]

They already did that with Dan heng within the first like 2 months lol

[analog pollen]

i think the question was if they're gonna do it long term instead of doing skins

[daring raft]

Dan Who? Oh yeah yesterday boy.

[analog pollen]

did i miss something?

[daring raft]

Nope.

Move along

Nothing to see here

[analog pollen]

alright

[vivid moon]

He's still my heaviest hitter

[daring raft]

https://fixupx.com/mistelnism/status/1806914559103619245?s=46

[analog pollen]

what does that even mean

[daring raft]

They removed the ‘chuckle’ at the very beginning from the old one

[analog pollen]

no i mean

what does the dialogue mean

i can't really make sense of it

[daring raft]

Gun talk

That’s it

[analog pollen]

whats that about both sides of the fence

[daring raft]

No idea. All I took home with me is the fact Boothill sounds less horny and fan grils are mourning.

[analog pollen]

ok filter

[daring raft]

You saying there’s a problem with filtered tap water, punk?

[analog pollen]

no

altho i dont drink tap water anymore yea

it tastes weird here for some reason

i grew up in a port town so im used to having nice tap water

[daring raft]

Good cuz if you did we’d have a problem.

[daring raft]

…check the underside of the faucet just in case

Last time that happened to a bud sth weird was growing on it

And it was nasty

[analog pollen]

nah it's the same everywhere

it's just a city thing

[vivid moon]

You don't drink tap?

I do when I make drinks

[analog pollen]

i mean yea it's not noticeable when used in cooking

but i meant just drinking it plain

and again

it depends on where you live

my hometown has a noticeably cleaner taste than where i am now

[vivid moon]

Ah rip

[analog pollen]

i have like 3 shops next to my block so it's not a big deal

speaking of

[vivid moon]

I have one

[analog pollen]

i should go buy some water

[vivid moon]

Unless I wanna go on the highway for 10 minutes for the next closest store

Or 25 on the back roads for a different closest store

Have fun buying water!

[polar prism]

i got like
one of them water filter machines outside near a store
pretty cheap too
problem is getting reusable bottles, cuz reusing same jug for more than 3 times doesn't seem like a good idea

tap water is good in a clutch tho ngl

[vivid moon]

Brita filter?

Ohh wait I reread

That's cool, I didn't know those existed

And honestly, as long as you wash it occasionally, reusing a jug is fine afaik

I've done so before and reused the same Gatorade bottle for water lol

As long as you wash it and let it dry fully, it won't get musty or anything

[lament bramble]

Man, where I'm living now has good tap, but the water back home had enough sulfer it actually smelled 😭 tasted like shit

[vivid moon]

yeee, the tap here is fine since it's direct from the river next to me

[polar prism]

yeah, here in post-ussr stuff we used to have those lever-powered water pumps everywhere, before cities fully developed
i remember drinking from one as a kid, though it was cold as hell but good in summer
nowadays they put these fancy water filter machines on walls of apartment complexes
just drop some coins, put up your bottle and boom

chat

does anyone here know about dokapon kingdom

[gleaming crane]

heard of it

[analog pollen]

i was watching versus wolves

and john had an insane moment in it

that alone kinda makes me wanna play

we could try setting something up if we have enough people

https://youtu.be/rfdwJJgzkhE?t=8761

watch like the next 15 mins or so

[gleaming crane]

i heard of it but i never knew its genre

apparently its mario party like?

it looks funny tho

[analog pollen]

it looks like mario party mixed with a steretypical jrpg

also apparently it's designed to be frustrating on purpose

on the game box it advertises itself as a friendship ender

[gleaming crane]

sounds like my game

[analog pollen]

i just need to look into if it's possible to set up a multiplayer game with pirated copies

the steam version is like 30 euro im not gonna expect people to buy that just for this

ok we good

ping me if anyone wants to try i can help set it up

I love how absolutely everything in this is gorgeous and well done

And then there's her shoes

[analog pollen]

what about her shoes

[lament bramble]

They're way "flatter" than the rest of the drawing and less polished (in some parts)

Especially the heels

Feels like the artist forgot to go back and tidy them up before posting (like a 2nd round rough draft sneaked into the final drawing)

Especially compared to the other parts of the (very pretty) artwork

[vivid moon]

Yeee exactly lol

They're a little rough around the edges compared to the rest of the piece

I know some artists will put major focus and detail into the face or whatever the focal point is of the illustration and leave the rest rough and undone in comparison- but the whole image is detailed and well put together and then the shoes are just... 1-2 layers of shading, a little bounce light, and rough lines that aren't even attempted to be finalized like the others lol

[analog pollen]

wait guys i just found out

dokapon has remote play

so only one of us needs to own it

[analog pollen]

if anyone wants to play lemme know me and a friend are probably gonna buy it in the next few days

[gleaming crane]

pog

[analog pollen]

also looking at other steam offers chained together and lethal company are p cheap rn

btw shoko did you ever get monster hunter sorted out

im kinda thinking of buying rise too since it's back on sale

[gleaming crane]

yea i have world installed

i have lethal also

[analog pollen]

@night mesa @open lotus @sterile igloo @polar prism @nimble condor @frigid basin would any of you be interested in playing multiplayer dokapon kingdom/lethal company/ chained together / phasmophobia /anything else if you have any ideas im just looking for more opportunities for VC parties and steam summer sale is happening

[frigid basin]

I have Lc alr, not a clue what any of the other stuff is

Oh shoko is here

Nice

[analog pollen]

i just looked at coop steam games and it was on top of the list

[frigid basin]

Nor do i have any money atm to buy any games either

[analog pollen]

it looks like that climbing game that was popular a while back but multiplayer

[frigid basin]

Uno could be fun

Oh also tabletop simulator. Since all the games on that are just stuff in workshop

[analog pollen]

dokapon and chained together have remote play i can buy it and everyone else plays for free

His cursed ass monopoly games

[analog pollen]

uno has free browser sims from what i see

[frigid basin]

Hmm

[gleaming crane]

can mod lethal also

so yea

[analog pollen]

02naruhodo

i dont know much about the game tbh but ive had people offer to play it in the past

[frigid basin]

Its uh

Interesting

[gleaming crane]

its worse tho

cus it collabed with fortnite

[analog pollen]

actually wait

what about among us

yaethunk

oh also

idk if you guys got it

but content warning was free on steam a while back

i think it's like lethal company?

or phantasmophobia

[gleaming crane]

i have it

[frigid basin]

HUH????

[frigid basin]

Need like 9 ppl for that

Not as fun with 4 or whatever

[analog pollen]

ah fair

[frigid basin]

I used to have that, i never figured out how to pkay it lmfao

Friend bought it for me

We played it once

Ooh

Chained together

Ik what it is now

Honestly not sure how well that would(nt) go lmao

[analog pollen]

i watched some clips and it doesnt seem super hard

we just have to coordonate in vc to time jumps

[hollow blaze]

I finally got firefly's LC

Now i should be set

[polar prism]

I don't have any of those games, sadly

And can't buy because sanctions

[analog pollen]

for some of them we can remote play so you dont need to own it

[polar prism]

Intriguing

[frigid basin]

uno is 4$ atm

tho i feel like tabletop would be better long term if we can establish a solid group

since you can do uno + thousands of other games

[analog pollen]

yea tabletop is really nice

you have access to basically every board game ever invented

i kinda had a group going for a lil bit but people lost interest

[frigid basin]

• any scuffed games people create

[analog pollen]

(also man no one else replied to my ping)

02pensive

at least we have 4 people if ice can join

[frigid basin]

[analog pollen]

also for wha'ts worth

you can get games cheaper on the grey market if you dont mind using it

altho now that it's summer sales idk if you can find them for much cheaper

[frigid basin]

prob

actually

i do have an old old monopoly game on my pc

could screenshare

and people just call out what they wanna do

oh

anyone got stickfight?

i have that

or l4d2

[analog pollen]

i dont but if other people are interesting im willing to buy

[frigid basin]

this is all that i have lmfao

[analog pollen]

ah

fellow pc shortcut enjoyer

i have like 20 games installed i need to finish

[frigid basin]

half of these i've never played

[frigid basin]

i got the a bf1 set last summer and i havent touched any of them

actually if i remove all the non games

i think theres only 15 apps lmfao

[analog pollen]

i used to try to keep it very tidy and only have 2 columns

then the games i wanted to play kept piling up

and i never finished any of them before starting another one

gldge

[frigid basin]

oh

rounds is also good

esp if we get thunderstore

[analog pollen]

never heard of that one

[frigid basin]

there

cut all the non games out

i need a new background

this one ive had for too long and is too bright

[analog pollen]

i have a rotating folder

and i just save images into it when i see one i like

[frigid basin]

ah

[frigid basin]

i think this one is much nicer

[analog pollen]

what did you do to your task bar

[frigid basin]

i have it as auto hide

i dont like it sticking up

looks ugly

[analog pollen]

i didnt even know theres a way to hide it

[frigid basin]

;-;

@analog pollen

[analog pollen]

humu humu

[open lotus]

ngl I'm feeling very picky with games rn so the only one I can think of is overcooked2 but its only 4 players lmao

[analog pollen]

picky as in buying or playing

cuz half the stuff i suggested has remote play

i can buy it and everyone else plays for free

(also i appreciate the reply i really dislike getting ghosted)

[open lotus]

buying yeah

I think I have remote play actually so it should be ok

[lament bramble]

wait, lethal company has remote play?

or is that in the other half?

[analog pollen]

other half

or well

[lament bramble]

darn

[analog pollen]

i think it's just dokapon and chained together

lemme check the other ones

[lament bramble]

I've been watching a ton of "how X's AI works" videos for lethal company lol. Looks hella fun

[analog pollen]

phasmophobia has this

idk how it works

also ive seen a bunch of survival games but my thing with most of them is that like

id rather just play minecraft instead

and people here dont seem to be available often enough to hold multi stage sessions for longer games anw

[lament bramble]

available often enough to hold multi stage sessions for longer games anw
man I wish

imagine a lore basement civ game

[analog pollen]

hahaha

[frigid basin]

I thought remote play was the other person basically borrows the game from you so they can play but you can't

[analog pollen]

from what i read from user reports you can play at the same time

granted i havent been able to properly test it yet

i dont currently own any games that have remote play

and a friend who does has really shitty internet so it's not reliable for him to host

[tame crown]

I'd be down if I can play on my phone

[analog pollen]

Is that you shoko

[gleaming crane]

no

[analog pollen]

@gleaming crane @frigid basin @polar prism can y'all give me a list of the games you'd be willing to play multiplayer so i can double check everything before buying

(and anyone else who reads this if they're willing to join)

[polar prism]

i've got Minecraft, Payday 2, and older stuff like Killing Floor, though been a while since i touched either
i do have Civ6, but doubt anyone here is into turn-based strategy games
aside from those, not much else, there may be some f2p stuff

[analog pollen]

what about the stuff i mentioned with screen share

[polar prism]

remote play thing?

[analog pollen]

ye

[polar prism]

never tried it before really

[analog pollen]

it's more about if you'd like to play the games

[polar prism]

phasmophobia and lethal company do sound fun
never heard of dokapon tho

[analog pollen]

only dokapon and chained together have screenshare out of what i posted iirc

lemme double check

dokapon is mario party with rpg mechanics and a lot of funny rage inducing mechanics

chained together is a 3d platformer, it's like that one chinese climbing game that got popular a while ago but multiplayer

[polar prism]

i seen chained together on yt, Markiplier played it

[analog pollen]

so would you be down for any of these

ye lethal doesnt have anything

phasmo says it has remote play for mobile devices but idk how that works

[polar prism]

yea, probs would give it a shot

[analog pollen]

alrightie

[polar prism]

if timezones allow

[analog pollen]

it's summer vacation for me so i can fudge my sleep scheldue

should be fine

[frigid basin]

I'll have to double check later. My bed is holding me captive for another few hours

[analog pollen]

[analog pollen]

oh actually

would anyone here be down to play a way out together (it'd probably take multiple sessions to finish tho)

i already played it takes two with someone else and it was p fun

or ig i could play it takes two again too, and just play as the other character i didnt play as the previous time

both of them have remote play too so only i need to buy them

[gleaming crane]

would like to play a way out but ive seen lots of it already on yt

[gleaming crane]

im down for lethal company, dokapon, mhw if i can get the urge to play, im waiting for killing floor 3 but i may get 2

[analog pollen]

oh both of you mentioned killing floor

yaethunk

or wait

@polar prism which killing floor do you have

[polar prism]

100% the first one
may have the second too, haven't checked my steam in a while

didn't even know there was a 3rd one

k checked
yes i do have the 2nd one too

[analog pollen]

ig i can buy that then

granted i have no idea what that is

imma trust yall

[polar prism]

oh right

[polar prism]

if any of ya'll got Worms Revolution, i got that

[analog pollen]

which edition

[polar prism]

uh

idk, i think i got the default one

[polar prism]

killing floor series is basically a co-op survival horde shooter
think L4D, but more than 4 people in a team and more specialization in classes and stuff

[analog pollen]

02naruhodo

[polar prism]

i played a ton of the first one with my homies back in high school
favorite thing was prepping to take on the final big bad

man stood no chance against dozens of explosive traps

[analog pollen]

do you know about this extra character

[polar prism]

not really no

probs means like the playable options you get

in og game i don't think they make any difference, just skins and different voicelines i think?

[analog pollen]

i see

i'll just get the cheaper one then

i have these so far

altho i'll probably just buy a way out standalone if no one else cares about it takes two since it's a lot more expensive and i played it already anw

[gleaming crane]

they announced a killing floor 3 in one of the gameshow livestreams

[polar prism]

ic ic

[gleaming crane]

let me check if 2 is cheap

3$

easy steal

[analog pollen]

another friend suggested a racing game if anyone is into that

also left 4 dead 2

[analog pollen]

and worms

@polar prism do you only have worms revolution

[polar prism]

i have
KF
KF2
Worms Revolution
Payday the heist
Payday 2
there's also the f2p games like TF2 and SCP Secret Labs

that should be it

[analog pollen]

oh boi

@gleaming crane @frigid basin any thoughts on all these

[frigid basin]

atm i got no money so cant buy anything for now. games i have are

• LC
• Rounds
• Stickfight
• phasmaphobia(not rly a fan of it but can play if needed)
• L4D2

(and others but their actual game games like cod n bf ect)

[polar prism]

i could buy, but unfortunately i live in Russia and purchases are just blocked by default

[analog pollen]

ye no worries im not forcing anyone to spend money

there's not a lot of overlap between you 2 so imma wait for shoko if he wants to play any of these

[polar prism]

could look up f2p ones

[analog pollen]

also do any of you have tabletop

that opens up a lot of possibilities

[polar prism]

elaborate

[analog pollen]

tabletop simulator

it's a fancy 3d sim for multiplayer board games
