Thread #871614

do you want
threads to end at 200-300 posts

no, but i don't like when a thread has 4 day-old posts

cause if that is the NEW RULE
I WILL LIVE WITH IT

and I will make them thank you for it

i see someone's gotten into the vodka

have you noticed how long it takes for any thread
to reach 800+ nowadays?

why would i notice something so unimportant

threads are sloooow

>>871633
just ignore the ice cream thread
and go back to the sammy one

it's not exactly encouraging to newcomers (if they were to ever appear) to see threads that are 4 days old!

>>871634
fuck it let's DUAL POST

>>871635
OKAY
since when did you care about any newcomer

since when did you care aobut any single one poster here

since when did you care about anything?

sicne when did you care about fucking anything that was to do for the betterment of this board

i think you need to tone it down, my guy

WELL
I AM HERE IN THE FUCKING FULL FORCE
NOW

ANSWER ME

Oh wait
you can't

yeah i'm gonna let you calm down for a little while bud
you're gettin kinda frisky

I could wait for you

>>871643
Sirrt
Sorry

Apparently the storm that rolled through last night was -really- fucking crazy.
Large enough to encompass all of Ontario south of Toronto and at a high point was hitting three hundred lightning strikes a minute.

lookin for a snacc that smiles bacc

still can't believe that big cali fire was sparked by a gender reveal party

I can believe it but it's still beyond fucking dumb.
Like even here where forest fires are relatively uncommon all the rural parts of the province have plenty of fire warning signage up whenever you're driving through a township.
It's not hard to look at stuff like that and go "Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't do anything that is a fire risk".

When Yuru Camp's anime aired and was really popular, you saw a lot of weebs on places like /a/ get really hyped up about wanting to try camping.
There was one thread where some guy, I think in Mexico or Brazil, accidentally set a forest on fire because he was trying out camping and was a dumbfuck about fire precautions.
Made the news a day or so later.

My point is if a fire gets out of hand there's probably a good chance there is a Very Stupid reason behind the fire's inception.

fire's inception
what if i started a fire... in my mind


oh just an hour ago i was dreaming about coughing up blood good times

I don't really know if that's good times/

you DARE question my IRONIC DETACHMENT???

Yeah.

The fires are getting pretty insane. Might as well just call Summer fire season these days.

David Lynch said it was really smokey near his place in his weather report this morning.

cali is now australia 2.0

Hardly.
Both California and Australia have always been high forest fire regions of the world, even before climate change made things worse.
It's just a part of the natural cycle for the environment there.
They both started to get really bad at about the same time in recent history and are kind of in a boat together.

California really mismanages it.
Ecologically, Florida is probably more prone to fires than California, especially during the dry season. To the point that we have trees that need to be exposed to fire in order to breed.
But we do controlled burns all the time to ensure we don't have fires that go out of control, and we actually have really efficient fire response.

I don't know why California isn't on top of it.

Of course, they shouldn't have to. These fires wouldn't be going out of control like this if people weren't idiots.
These bad ones are always getting started by idiots throwing their cigarettes or revealing a baby's gender.

Probably in part because their fire response systems are keeping tabs on the ones that would naturally get out of control if not paid attention to since, y'know, it's easier to get data on stuff that's a natural occurence.
But it's hard to be prepared for how stupid people can be. You can try your damnedest, but humanity will always surprise you.

>>872243
oh yeah explosive pyroclastic baby gender reveals
seriously what the fuck?

>>872244
largest issue prolly just is sheer size

russia has a policy of "let it burn" in kola peninsula when it comes to their forest fires
I'd imagine they do the same in siberia too

hot new gender reveal idea
wait until the baby is born without telling anyone then king solomon the baby and reveal the gender with the color inside

>>872246
I'd argue population size also factors in.
There's nearly forty million people living in California as is.
Even if I'm being VERY generous and say only ten percent of a general population group is dumb enough to disregard common sense and clearly announced warnings to be fire risks.
That still leaves four million people scattered all over the State which have a good chance of engaging in stupid activities that will risk a fire breaking out.
That's a lot of people.
That's like a whole Toronto full of stupid people.

>>872247
i like it

that reminds me there was some political pundit like a really big one who said elizabeth warren would be the perfect president because she "splits the baby"

>>872250
I think the real horror there is the guy seemingly read that story about Solomon and was like "Oh yeah he's serious, he's gonna chop that baby in half, and that's the fair resolution to this kidnapping case"

It's an astounding level of proud ignorance.
The entire point of the story is that Solomon is wise because he suggests that knowing it's the worst possible solution.
Is Warren wiser for slicing the baby in twain?

>>872248
and worst part isn't even "stupidity" but just thoughtlessness

>>872252
I feel like it's a pretty fun encapsulation of the centrist mindset tho, to think the wisdom in the story was actually for real splitting the baby so both the actual mother and the horrid bitch got a half, dead baby

I, for one, welcome a leader who will destroy things to ensure everyone has an equal level of joy, which should of course be none.

i am always open for a leader that cuts things in half

Maybe we all need some more twained babies in our lives

Read properly, the tweet for real is "Warren is the perfect president because under her rule, nobody will really be happy, but the bad guys for sure will be the winners"
Which is wild

Everyone is equal as skeletons

Some skeletons are more bony than others though

DID SOMEBODY SAY BONEY

>>872260
not if we ban milk

halfed gams for all

Maybe splitting the baby is how we would get half life 3

Another fitting analogy for something that is most certainly not worth the sacrifice.

I wouldn't even play hl3 if it came out anyway tbh
It's just a meme to me

I haven't played a Half-Life game yet.
Why would I start now.

Eh, the 3 first ones, which are all sort of the same one, are good
HL2 isn't terrible
Everything else, I dunno i never played them cause I lost interest after HL2

Half Life 1 and 2 honestly weren't that good. They were revolutionary in a lot of ways but I don't think they were ever fantastic games

portal is way better

and l4d

Valve's FPS single-player games have always been firstly tech demos for their engine.
Like that's literally what Portal 1 was, "Let's show off this cool tech about perspective and maintaining velocity through player set-up portals in the game environment".
They just also built a game around the tech that was fun to play and engage with.

>>872269
black mesa has made the gameplay a lot fresher, but damn is hl2 out of date when it comes to fps nowadays

>>872269
Eh
I think HL1 still holds up if you're willing to deal with the like, inherent-to-being-as-old-as-me video game jank
It doesn't look like crysis, but the gameplay itself is still pretty fun

and l4d is overrated TBHWY

l4d is super fun
i dont think there's been another game as good that you can play with the whole squad and enjoy doing terribly at since l4d2

killing floor if you ask me is way better

Killing Floor is more fun for that sort of thing, I think yeah
Mostly because with killing floor you can be high or drunk as shit and you still won't be a drag on your team as long as you're able to hit shots, and I have no life so I absolutely can still hit shots even if I don't know where I am on the map
With L4D you gotta move and do objectives

thats why i find killing floor so fuckin boring
you're not doin anything

Different tastes, I guess
>>872281
I can't do L4D like that
After a beer or two, I lose all spacial coordination, and all I can do is revert to my lizard brain, which has learned how to aim in video games and very little else

i have been stupid drunk many a time playing l4d2 and not been a drag to my team

i mean you can be totally fucked up and still enjoy L4D2
like one time we spent literally three hours trying to do the last level of the first l4d2 campaign and dying every single time
and it was fun every second

>>872273
cute chino btw

remember spending like 3 hours on the last level // first level of that one campaign with the running water

>>872282
Payday 2, as well, is pretty fun, combining both the best of KF and L4D
You're doing stuff, there's objectives, but you \\\\ I can also be fucked up and do well
Cause it's not a LOT of coordination you gotta put together in a row, you don't gotta keep track of where you're going and stuff

Oh yeah, Payday 2 is fantastic.

Pan, did you ever play Payday 2 with me and Shawn? I can't remember if you were in those games

Ohayo!

Like, my spacial coordination when high or drunk is so bad, one time I had a single joint and 2 hours later realized I'd mostly been running in circles in far cry... 3? the forest one
And I had a ton of fun, shooting stuff, but when I came down it became apparent I'd actually just been in the same tiny area of the map the whole two fucking hours

I played some, but you guys did most of it without me because i dont remember what i was doing at the time
but i do remember being splinter celled in the parking lot of the art gallery constantly

Playing with Shawn got so shitty lol
All he cared about was making money so he wanted do everything the same exact way every time, always fuckin stealth bank robbery

who the heck is shawn?
Saku?

no shawn is some nerd kirara and i know from 10+ years ago
>>872290
that's why you need me for the 5 seconds in absolute chaos

>>872279
you are painting the floors red

Ah, some dude I don't know then

>>872291
Saku is Daniel

I think Shawn posted here once or twice maybe? yeah he's just a friend of me and pan
>>872292
yesss

i can remember if shawn ever did
i know we got sastifur to a couple times and he still even shows up once in a blue moon

yeah i talk to sast on discord and stuff sometimes too

i haven't talked to him in a bit
next time i see him on i should ask if he wants to play dfo because im pretty sure he doesnt LOL

there's some choooores in this house
there's some choooores in this house

>>872300
Oh no

>>872299
Is that a FAMAS?

fuckin
showtunes
in my coffee shop

my head's built up far too many associations
I gotta figure out a way to purge them, cause these mini panic attacks are real bothersome

associations can never vanish completely
you can loosen associations though
by pairing the stimulus with a different outcome
or by creating a stronger association

imatsu
can one learn this power
to purge negative associations like this?

often times the best policy is to create an association between the stimulus and something calming
e.g.
expose self to stimulus and then use distress tolerance skills
this results in desensitization to that stimulus and its ability to trigger an anxiety response is replaced by relaxation
very simple, standard stuff in therapy

That seems very difficult to do with certain specific things, without getting too into specifics

neurons that fire together wire together

>>872307
So what
You like, deliberately cause an anxiety episode, and then just use a coping method?

usually with a therapist but yeah
we expose someone to a distressing stimulus and then they self-regulate

yeah like when you get sad thought just move your eyes between two trees while walking in the forest and acquire less sad thought

Seems like the kinda thing where you need to first really nail down exactly what's going on
Far more than I've been able to, anyway, since it's all really fucking vague
Also sounds dangerous without a therapist, yeah, considering my whole... thing

I mean, behavior is generally generalizable, so as long as you're in the ballpark, usually that's enough to start with.
The more specific the better, of course.

You can do it without a therapist as long as you take it easy and know what you're doing.
But do you have any existing self-regulation or distress tolerance skills?

>>872312
lol

Beyond previously smoking pot to calm down, or just going to bed when it gets too much?
No
Not really

I've half-heartedly tried a few things that seemingly work for other people, like focusing on my surroundings and my breathing and stuff, but it's not really doing much for me
What little focus I can generate on that stuff is usually consumed very quickly by the developing... feelings

when day is dark always member hapy day

When was hapy day though

It's like, I start counting my breaths, or I focus on breathing in and then out, or whatever
And then after a very short time, my entire head just goes woozy and now it's all just... this other feeling I can't place

>>872320
The main benefit for me is it makes it impossible to keep a single train of thought going, whether I want that train to keep chugga-chuggaing along or not, so these episodes just aren't able to keep themselves afloat
They still suck, but they can't grab hold for long enough to be a really, really big problem

pls rember

if i smoke a bunch of pot often ill start thinking about embarrassing shit
sometimes i get lost in it for a bit
then i think to myself "oh yea im just here smoking pot none of that is real"
and the panic goes away

Lovecraft Country episode three is some spooky shit.
I can take literal white wizards and arcane shit and I'm fine.
But ghosts definitely spook me up

>>872318
doesn't sound beneficial in terms of confronting and integrating these sorts of thoughts tho

when days is dark remember critical hit

>>872322
Well, it's not
It's arguably a very bad approach, since it renders me without defense when I'm like now, potless
But it's a quick escape, and reliable, as well

Well, as long as I'm at home when it hits
I haven't had access to pot in a real long time though

>>872325
Why are you doing this to yourself.

watching black clover?

I can imagine better things to do.

I mean
it's not top tier
But it's aight

It's an OK shonen
I got bored around the time they fought those fish people in the underwater thing though
I don't think I finished that arc

Black Clover is traaaaaaaasssshhhh
It's like every generic shounen trope put in a pot and filtered down into concentrated garbage.

>>872331
It's got a fun premise tho

i rewatched the sonic movie wow that's tropey schlock

>>872332
What premise exactly, and what's fun about it?

>>872331
>>872332
>>872333
>>872334
maybe you've just to to believe in yourself and never give up

>>872334
Everyone gets a magic book and stuff
I think that's a fun jumping off point

>>872318
Are you breathing weirdly when you do it?
>>872321
Yeah!
Episode 4 was really good too.

>>872337
I've tried both controlling my breath deliberately, and just taking note of the breathing I'm doing
Mostly controlling though

yeah you could watch trash like black clover or you could watch one piece its a way better shounen

>>872338
Yeah, controlling it will end up with you passing out if you don't know what you're doing.

You know what you should do? You should do Wim Hof breathing.

if suggers ever played support he'd go Taric
he was usually too busy feeding top or mid though

shit he would play taric wouldn't he

>>872340
I'll give it a try next time I guess
It's been mor frequent lately, so it shouldn't be long until I get a chance to

>>872351
Of course
he used the pink skin too

>>872352
It can be good to practice breathing before you need to use it, too.

That seems reasonable
It can't hurt, in any case

>>872353
i dont get why he wouldnt just come out of the closet

I just hope this isn't one of those placebo things where you gotta already think it will help for it to do anything

Cause then it just won't work
Cause even if you say it can, I've already sorta resigned and don't think anything can help

>>872356
i mean,
he basically did.

>>872358
oh shit i missed it?

I mean by picking Taric

da beach is packed

Seems inadvisable considering the circumstances.

oh yeah fair point that's practically an admission

>>872357
I mean, this is stuff we teach clients. And I also do breathing stuff.

Are they normally this negative about the possibility of ever "getting better"?.

i guess idk the beach has been packed all summer and there havent been outbreaks
spreading events have all been indoors

>>872365
Sometimes.
Usually the people who are like that are doing things to actively sabotage themselves to ensure they don't get better, though. Usually because they don't want to get better.

>>872366
That's fair.
I'm probably also over-estimating what you mean when you say packed.
Like I've seen packed beaches before and those get DENSE.
Where you probably just mean there's like pockets of people that know each other every few dozen metres or something.

it's less packed from this game court part but yea it's nice out and everything is at a socially distanced saturation

Yeah that sounds about right

They're already back in Chicago so I think I kinda got an explanation from her.
In the moment it was definitely an "uh ... okay" kind of thing though.

Okay credits rolled.

I'm assuming the answer is "white wizard shit" but I'm a little confused how an underground complex can spread from Boston to Chicago and how a few people can make the trek along it in a matter of a few hours.

This morning, I am comparing the quality of the Publix brand mucus relief D with the Walgreens bbrand mucus relief D.
The Walgreens brand is twice the strength. So it may be superior.

But we shall see. A larger ant does not mean a stronger ant.

I just associated publix with chicken
got a build up of mucus?
I know I do

Publix does have very good chicken. But today, I have no need for chicken. Instead, I need mucus relief.

My hope is that it will be strong enough!

It's actually about ethics in video games

More like ethics in animal containment and entertainment.

>>872878
Not really, there's no part so far that has touched on the ethics of how they treat the gadoll or anything
Though I guess if you consider the humans to be the animals, you're right yeah, that's actually a very good reading of the material

I'm talking about the humans you nerd.

took me four bars to spell 'wholly' weird word

>>872877
I never actually watched Last Exile so I can't compare.
It's about a future Earth dominated by cyborgs that spend their free time playing in a half-ARG, half-VR-esque game that physically takes place in the remains of Eurasia where they fight monsters to protect the last of the endangered species known as humans from extinction via monsters.

Ohayo!

I never watched Last Exile either, actually

I don't really know what to compare it to
Maybe Shin Sekai Yori, though it's a bit of a fucking stretch, some of the themes and SOME of the concepts overlap a little

last exile is about this steampunk world where there's like a big airstream that separates these two worlds, and also court drama and old fashioned warring with muskets. lots of dogfights and IMMELLMAN TURNNNSSS and shit

Well, there's certainly no court drama in Deca-Dence, the System is wholly autocratic and due process isn't a concept that exists

The weirdest thing happened today.
Yesterday I put in a request to refill my prescription for my amphetamines and I just used the same prescription number I did last time without thinking.
This morning, I noticed the rx number was different so I put in another request and it said this thing about how it can't be filled, which led me to call my psychiatrist to get them to fix that, but it didn't need to be fixed because the number I used yesterday worked.
So I'm like, okay that was all for nothing.

But then I get a call from the drug testing place and they need to verify my prescription for amphetamines.
I don't have the bottle on hand to give them the information they needed since I'm at work. BUT, because I put in my latest prescription number online, it's in my autofill.
So I was able to pull that number out of that and get together all of the information they needed that normally I'd have to get on the bottle.

So if I hadn't gone through that stuff this morning I would have ended up out of luck with this drug testing place and would have had to deal with even more delays.

That's so weird. How serendipitous.

I guess even coincidence can be convenient at times.

For sure! That was seriously annoying, though.
I spent 20 minutes on the phone trying to do it earlier and had to hang up to see clients. Then I spent 48 minutes on the phone this time to actually get it done.
Got transferred to one person to tell me what information they needed. Then they had to transfer me to someone else so I could give that information. Nani sore?

Oh shit Dune trailer

i hope they show the worm

>>872916
They do

they showed the worm!!!

movie doesn't look that great but that is a nice worm
it looks way too serious
they'll never beat out Lynch's dune

It BIG

Dune is a pretty serious world though.
Like Frank Herbert wrote at least the original Dune novel as a realized natural system and was very particular about the whys of everything that happened in the novel.
The trailer definitely has elements of Trying Too Hard Fantasy to it and I don't recognize all the stuff shown in the trailer so I'm wondering if they either are having some artistic interpretation or bringing in story elements from the other Dune novels I haven't read.

I'm willing to give this a chance though because the original Dune novel is hella cool.

It's supposed to cover half the first book and then they'll do a second one to finish up the first book.
But yeah, I think by serious what I mean is Trying Too Hard.
It just looks like it's taking itself too seriously, like it's not aware of the absurdity of itself. Trying too hard to be an EPIC BLOCKBUSTER ACTION MOVIE

I'm hoping it's just the trailer cut.
Dune is a weird story but I don't think it really works if it doesn't take itself seriously. I think that'll be fine if the actual movie captures the alien environment and Weird Future aesthetic of the Dune universe.
Exchanging those elements for blockbuster action regardles of whether the movie takes itself serious or not would just diminish the quality of the movie though.
This isn't Star Wars where Lucas wrote the world for cinematic and commercial use, Dune is more in line with the fantasy/science fantasy epics of the second half of the twentieth century it was written amongst.
It's a serious world and needs a serious touch. The trailer didn't exactly impart on me that feeling, but a lot of chatter online seems to be putting al -a lot of faith in the director.

And at the least it's a good thing it's a two-part movie series.
Dune is a THICK book and there's no way they could cover that all even if it was an Avengers-tier three hour extravaganza.

It's the director who did Blade Runner 2049
But I have to admit I'm not familiar with his other works at all.

>>872927
The worm

i do like oscar isaac a lot, so i'm glad he'll be in dune

Remember /moe/, fear is the mind killer.

looks alright
idk can't tell by the trailer
honestly the trailer mostly reminds me of the starwars sequels

Yeah, I think that's kind of what Kirara and I are getting at.
It doesn't really capture the Dune aesthetic.

For me if that's just how the trailer cut is, then that's fine.
As long as the movie is appropriate, that's all that matters.

A more postive note though is that lingering end shot on the BIG worm is more in line with the aesthetic.
They're supposed to be awesome in the properly terrifying way.

The producers are what make me a little unsure. Mary Parent, for example, usually just does monster movies
godzilla king of monsters
pacific rim
err, detective pikachu
actually now that i'm looking several of the producers are people who have done detective pikachu and pacific rim and noah

oh but eric roth, the writer of forest gump, is one of the screenwriters

along with jon spaihts who did prometheus and doctor strange though

jon spaihts is also the executive producer for the minecraft movie

Strange was one of the better Marvel origin story movies though.
And the Strange vibe is probably closer to that of Dune than a lot of other modern movies.

Yeah, although Prometheus wasn't a great movie, even the vibes of that are a better suit for Dune than lots of other things
So I guess that's actually a pretty promising writing team

As long as they don't try to veer too far from the novel.
I'm not a purist for adaptations by any means but the tighter the plot of an original work, the harder it is to adapt it if you start changing or cutting things.

From the sound of it though they have updated the dialogue from the novel, which probably needed to happen.
What sounded appropriate for science fiction in the 1960s probably would be totally whack these days.

Hmm, I don't know. I think using the original dialogue from the 1960s would actually lend itself more to the atmosphere of it being in a faraway land, very alien to us today.
Of course that's not something I'm particularly passionate about, haha/

>A line of Dune action figures from toy company LJN was released to lackluster sales in 1984. Styled after David Lynch's film, the collection included a poseable sandworm.[53][54]
hmm

I'm sure tabletop nerds, even those that don't care that much about Dune, would've lept at the chance to get a posable sandworm fig.

this one's on sale on ebay for $600

Oh, there's a Dune TRPG coming out, too?

Yeah, I believe I recall hearing talk about it.
I guess they know their audience.

oh, there's a dishonored one coming out too
they'll be using the same system
>The tabletop RPG set in the Dune universe is currently being developed by Modiphius, and will be based on the company’s 2d20 roleplaying system that is also being used for the recently announced video game RPG Dishonored, and has previously powered roleplaying games including Star Trek Adventures.

That was a spot-on choice in my books.

Get yourself a man who looks at you the way Timothee Chalomet looks at sandworms

apparently xbox series x is $500 and there's a downgraded version called the series s that's only $300

Having a super cheap version like that is pretty crazy.
I mean I guess it's still a decent bit of money but for a modern console that's surprising.
Like for people that aren't super tight with their money that's almost impulse buy territory.

Still not really interested in it but hopefully lower prices like that will push the PS5 to compete a bit.
Which will be good for me.

A lot of people are speculating the PS5 will be $400.
Which would be pretty low for a full console verses the Series X at $500.
Even the $300 point might not compete well with a PS5 at $400, it's $100 more for the full thing.
Series S will apparently be slower and can only reach up to 1440p... With most televisions these days supporting 4k, the 1440p might be a sticking point for people.

Conversely for casual gamers, a 300 USD price point on a console might be a good pick up.
Those people probably aren't gonna lose sleep over not getting 4K resolution on their consoles, even if they own a suitable television.
I think the Series X might appeal to some people that the Switch and especially the Switch Lite did. People that maybe clock in a couple hours of gaming a few times a week and don't really follow games much.

At the least I think SONY would be making an error in judgement (for themselves) to try and compete with the Series S.
They're probably not gonna appeal to many more people if they make a price point in between the two Xbox models.
Sticking closer to the Series X is likely the safer bet.

But I won't complain about a 400 USD PS5.

Xbox Series releases November 10 looks like.

>>872959
It's certainly an interesting conundrum for SONY to find themselves in.
The Series S is a really bold move.

I wonder how SONY will respond.
Apparently today is the 25th anniversary of Playstation, so people thought PS would have an announcement today. But even if they planned on a surprise announcement, Xbox doing this announcement today kind of kicks them off of doing that.
Xbox really got the drop on them.

It's smart business coming from Microsoft.
They definitely came out the back of the competition between the Xbox One, PS4, and Switch last generation.
They need to be aggressive and get an edge in on Sony.
And maybe even try and steal a bit of the territory that Nintendo's pretty much held an untouchable grasp on for a long time.

series s has no disc drive and 4 teraflops GPU power compared to series X 12.5 teraflops
10 gb ram vs 16

Disc drives are one of those things that only really dedicated gaming people really care that much about.
Especially since so much media these days is digitally provided anyway, most people are comfortable downloading their games and not having physical media.
A casual gamer, at least one with good Internet, would probably be fine with not having a disc drive on their console.
If anything they might prefer it since they don't want to have more stuff pile up as they buy games.

Yeah, even I download a lot of games since it's so much easier than waiting for a disc.

I kinda feel like the game doesn't have that much replay value, honestly
Fallout had and continues to have like, endless opportunity to get up to crazy stuff, but OW kinda didn't, or at least that's how I felt playing it through

There's no part of me that's like "Oh I wanna try going for this kind of build" with that game, and beyond different builds, just wandering the wasteland is what kept Fallout going a lot of the time, cause there's just so much FUCKING STUFF, I found stuff I hadn't seen before last time I played, like a few months back

i only read this last post and was confused why you were comparing fallout to overwatch and got confused enough to read other posts for context
i forgot outer worlds exists

Critical hits do 3x damage and have no falloff based on distance
Basically, a soldier's 4 rockets go from killing a heavy and wounding a scout to killing every single heavy they connect to, regardless of distance
The demoman's stickies go from like 80 to 240, and he can just unload those, he's already absurdly overpowered as he is

And every time it connects, it goes BBBNNNNGGG and KRRSH and there's a DING from the hitsound

The scout's pistol goes from like, chipdamage to a fucking server-clearing demon weapon as well, provided your scout can track
Which, you know, if your scout can't track what the fuck is he doing playing the quake class

Oh and the pocket is basically one of two soldiers on a competitive team, though in general use it means whoever the medic in question is sticking to throughout the match to keep building uber and be protected
In pubs that's usually a heavy, but it shouldn't be because heavy's a garbage class outside of a few specific situations

Anyway I love that fucking game but none of my friends play it anymore so I don't either
It's no fun on your own, especially for a healbot like me

Medic is very rewarding, it feeds into my most base impulses of enabling as much destruction as possible, but it's also just very frustrating when you don't have a pocket you vibe with and who fucking gets you
Ya gotta be able to just go "SCOUT" and trust the motherfucker to drop what he's doing and blast the floor until that pesky fucker goes away

THE AMOUNT
OF SOLDIERS
who don't keep a spare rocket in the barrel for medic protection
is fucking absurd

JUST KEEP ONE IN THERE
No medic, NO YOU

i played a lot of TF2
and now a lot of OW
i do miss TF2 but i don't think it'll ever be like it was for me
and OW has its own nice qualities

playin in the oculus DK2 VR mode as scout and pyro and soldier, runnin around turbine
my introduction to VR

i played a lot of pyro and soldier before that in flatscreen mode
hung out in so many dank west coast servers and pushed dat payload

really i would play any class but i really liked reflecting rockets and flare gun kills so there was a lot of pyro
and i didn't understand how to scout until the very end of my time with TF2

I played medic competitively, but in pubs I usually just played soldier and demo, and some scout, because no other classes let you accomplish so fucking much on your own

yeah i wasn't any good, i played with shit framerate mostly bein a spy checker and chillin in da base
or building sentries
then i was a Your Eternal Reward spah for a while lol

Send trees

BLDN A SDISPTNR!!

>>872983
How many do ya need?

for a while i was in the trading servers too tryna get good at snoipin and trying out different loadouts
i unboxed an unusual for the pyro that was pretty lucky

that's pretty cool
I never unboxed anything good, really I don't even know if I've opened a box at all

But I did trade my way through shrewd unethical trading practices to a shitty unusual, which I flipped for other stuff instead cause my friend gave me an unusual hearts vintage tyrolean for medic, and that's the only one I really wanted

Like why unbox when you can find some dude in a random server who has something valuable, but doesn't know it, and you give him a knife for his hat or something
I got my first earbuds for a pair of boxing gloves

my w2 is in
as of tomorrow i will have $50k salary

so nice having a new handler

>>872990
Are you an assassin?

assassin of monsters one might say

Don't all assassins see themselves that way?

>>872989
Congratulations on stability
You've worked hard for it.

no im pretty sure the hassans were all just like "fuck we're good at this, let's do it for cash money"

Reasonable I guess
I wonder if maybe mafia guys see themselves as doing the right thing tho

That's not really the image that comes to mind when someone says "assassin" though, I guess

neither is what im doing because it's monster hunter world

what's a handler in Monhun?

Someone who makes sure you're not hunting the wildlife to brink of extinction.

Nah they just give you your quests and story-wise act as the research side of your hunting duo.

Funny story about pascal by Kernighan
https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-on-pascal.html
For context, software tools was a collection of utility programs written by Kernighan and Plauge in ratfor (rational Fortran) which is Fortran 66 with some C features.

i never did get to use that tree sap

what tree sap?
is this runescape

in campaign 2.5 when kirara was dming i bought tree sap

you should have ritual casted it
if you had it would have become a sword

i was going to smash it on one of the artist's paintings if they refused to help but then when we got there she was already being super evil so it didnt matter
because sap fucks paint up

lmao
a tree sap sword?

>>873077
you should have done that when she drank the paint and became a monster

>>873078
pan's character in the game i ran recently was obsessed with swords so i just gave him tons of swords
at the end of the game i think he had like 16 swords

How do you drink paint

well technically it was ink
she had a vial of ink that she was drawing with and then she just drank the vial

beast mode
she suffered no ill effects from the ink?

>>873081
mistake it for yoghurt

>>873083
she turned into this and then got killed

what a way t go

ahoy

this is what she looked like before she drank the ink

noto's final count was 16 swords, one of which was two swords combined into one from Jorogumo and Kusanagi
and then vaguely noto was probably stuck in spider's parlor later in life and probably made of swords
over the full campaign noto had about 14 generic swords at max, the 16 swords he // mixed in with the 16 swords he had at the end that's 23 swords, adding jorogumo and kusanagi when they were seperate is 25, and then there's that sword i threw into the ocean and didnt get back making 26 swords gathered on my journey
wait 28 counting the wakizashi pair Shurei Seishin

technically noto was yeah made of swords lol

>>873089

didnt you lose the disrespected sword somehow too

that's the one i threw into the ocean i think

me

how cozy

did you ever use the water sword

no

do you believe kn magiv

no

i wanted to ritual cast the water sword once to use water breathing whirpool while traversing the acid to throw it on everyone but you didn't let me or didnt hear me i forget

i was ready to splash that shit everywhere
i was going to do something with it eventually but i //
i remember i was going to give it to soen as a gift but then she had the way better shogun sword so i didnt

yeah she did have that cool BLADE DRIVER that let her go kamen rider mode

Also yes, for example the puckle gun.

impressive how mhw made a whole new mechanic for iceborne in the form of being able to clutch claw onto monsters but then made it a death sentence to use it on anything

It's actually really effective the timing is just extremely finnicky and you have to prep for it by wearing your mark down but not driving it into a rage.

But alternatively you can also just use it as a gap closer and drop down immediately to fight normally after running around dodging stuff.

i didnt try it on any of the early monsters but against hot topic paolumu it was useless because it has dick ass range
and against uh
hold on what did i just fight
barioth? ice furry dragon but not angry ice dragon from a cutscene i just watched
it was incredibly useless for him unless i got his tail
if i got his head or either arm he would side bash my cat and hit me in the process midair

oh cool i see that the captain has given me Warming Jewel 2 to make the iceborne area playable now that i have to go to ancient forest

uhhhhh

shit shit shit can I not delete this

>>873134
I get the temperature mechanics probably feel like difficulty for the sake of difficulty for people playing the polished World, but classic MonHun has trained me to not really blink at the penalties for not preparing for environmental hazards in maps.
Plus it's extremely easy to find the respective craft components for the right drink in the maps with environmental hazards.
That wasn't really a thing in older games hah hah

i liked the hot temperature mechanic that was fine to me
i don't like the cold because of HOW it functions specifically
if cold functioned more like hot and took like ticks of my stamina instead of my BAR or something id be fine with it but getting a gimped bar because my hot drink wore off mid fight with an aggro monster that wont give me many chances to drink is just dumb

Man I dunno it's not hard to find timings in any of the early Iceborne monsters to get a drink in.

anime is DEAD

The only two monsters I've had issues with it so far were Viper Kadachi, which was mainly less finiding a timing in its attacks and more finding a timing where I wasn't antidoting instead because brain dead cat ai gets be poison clipped constantly
and then Barioth because even when Fatigue'd he's almost always side bashing randomly around because i have flashfly cage cat and he's always blind

If poison is really enough of a concern for you that you're antidoting a lot (even if it's not your own fault) you should invest in some poison proofing.
MonHun isn't supposed to be a game where you find your one peak armor and weapon set, the game is designed around changing in and out of combinations to suit the hunt you're on
Normal rank and H-rank quests are generally easy mode enough that you can beat them without changing while maybe needing to bash your head against a wall every now and then, but G-rank stuff is much harsher and usually needs some appropriate prep work if you don't have human players to cheese a hunt with.

>>873132

the poison was exclusively an issue because of my cat i never had that issue with pukei-pukei or uhhhhhh undead dragon
i want to say vaal but that's a poe thing so idk
i guess he wasn't technically poison his was a whole different thing

>>873143
It doesn't matter why the poison is a problem, if it's a problem, invest in poison proofing.
Or change up your cat's build so it's not prompting poison that you're clipping all the time.
MonHun gives you plenty of flexibility for going up against monsters with various different complications and if you're going to be stubborn and not change you're just making things harder for yourself.

For the Barioth all I can say at the moment is git gud
It's been a while since I've played so I can't really remember what it feels like to play against it and its timings.
But I hunted a lot of monsters in previous MonHun games that fell under the fightstyle that it and Tigrex uses so going into World I wasn't entirely unprepared.

I'm in one of the 4 chains that fucking exist in this country
There's like
Rema, Kiwi, Bunnpris, and Coop which claims to be a co-op but actually they're not even if legally they are.
Oh, there's Spar I guess
But they're fucking sparse

And between Rema and Kiwi, there's no like "biggest"
If a town has one, it has the other one
And every town has both

Co-op is technically like, an umbrella thing with other companies it swallowed up, I guess
Like, technically Co-op mega and co-op extra are different stores, but they're both Co-op and I don't count them separately

>>873161

like, from a deck of cards?

actually I guess it's a tree

That's how rarely you see these fucking shops

(And also the logo may have BEEN the club previously, since the name "spar" is just our word for that symbol)

oh I suppose I saw the one Spar in Sydney lol

Naw, it was always a tree
I probably just thought it was a club due to associating the name with that due to >>873172
>>873173
Yeah they're apparently really big on an international scale, but nationally there's one here, one there, not like every single town

My tiny 5000 people town has a Rema, a Kiwi, a Co-op and a Bunnpris, but no Spar
But then you get to like, bumfuck nowhere, like maybe there's some people living in the area but it's not even recognizably like, a "town" or anything
And there it fucking is
A spar
Just on the side of the fucking road or something

Granted my town is more than its population because it's like, one of the central industrial hubs in the region
So only 5000 or so people LIVE here, but like, a LOTTA people come here when they go to work in the morning

go for world record

and perfect
while I was away monhun finished dling

thank you random neighbour with unprotected wifi

It's a game that lends itself well to the controller but if you do decide to use one of the ranged weapons in the variety MonHun on the PC actually has really good mouse/keyboard support
>>873235
Then I'd recommend the controller.
The melee weapons can be used fine with the mouse/keyboard but it does feel a bit weird at times.

MonHun's not a game where it's a do-or-die matter but the keyboard does have the one advantage that you can do stuff like map the quick-use item wheel to specific keys so you can just tap the key to bring up the item rather than cycling through your "hotbar" or using the item wheel.

melee combat is the only way

i still have one functioning ps3 controller
knocks
on
wood

melee combat is not the only way
dual blades are the only way

Charge Blade is the One True Path.
The Bow is pretty fun though.

Charge Blade isnt the Great Sworcxd

Which is a good thing because I really don't like how the Great Sword feels.
I've never taken to it in any of the MonHun games I've played.

great sword felt like all of the slow of the hammer but none of the 1200 attack power

i don't have iceexpansion tho

And none of the fun CLANG of hitting a blunt object against a wyvern's scaly hide.

>>873242
That's probably fine.
Iceborne does have a story component but the meat of the expansion is the harder and more classic embodiment of the MonHun experience.
If you play through the main game's content and feel you really enjoy the experience, Iceborne is worth picking up, but if you're not that taken by it, then you don't really lose anything by not having it.

And like PAN said most of what you get out of Iceborne isn't touchable until you beat the first two rank tiers of the main game.

and none of the sick literally rolling down hills

it's absolutely fine because you can't touch the iceborne content until you finish the base story anyway right
since it's all MR stuff

>>873244
Well your favourite Clutch Claw is useable from the get-go if you start a new game with the Iceborne expansion installed.
>>873246
Hm, maybe?
I didn't play World between Iceborne's release and me picking the DLC up so it might be a maingame update.

oh i thought they added that to base game when iceborne released since you could play with iceborne players as non-iceborne so you needed to have that 'data' in your game
i also did not play between iceborne's release and picking it up so i dont know for sure

that was tasty but...
weird
the curry sauce kinda was too strong
and the chicken was bit hard to eat inside the burger
won't be ordering chicken burg again

Hey PK keep us informed if you have access to something called the Clutch Claw relatively early on in the game.

kay
does that mean I get it because I sucked?

also do people actually buy the cosmetics
400€ worth of it

Nah, this is a literal clutch.
It's a really fun tool that lets you close distance between you and a monster and has the ability to stun them if used correctly.
It came out when the Iceborne DLC was released but neither PAN or I know if it's a free update to the game or part of the DLC.

They did update the game a little bit when the DLC came out and might've been added in that, kinda like how Paradox adds some small stuff into their games whenever they push a new DLC.

anyone want like
500g to 1kg of fries?

Yes.
But not fries that need to be sent across an ocean.

just teleport them

>>873249
People probably buy the cosmetics, I dunno.
MonHun definitely has a fashion souls aspect to it that a lot of people enjoy, but there's so much in the actual game to pick from that additional cosmetics do feel pretty unnecessary.
Plus they do sponsored quests in the game from places like Japanese fashion lines or Shounen Jump or the like.
You do the quests and get rewards that let you craft cameo equipment.
These quests are free for the player so, there's really a LOT of fashion options available to the player, you just gotta grind it out a bit.

fashion is a good aspect
just cosmetics

yeah Monster Hunter World Featuring Dante From Devil May Cry

The only cosmetics I have are the pre-order bonus content.
There was no way I wasn't getting MonHun on the PC after all.
Plus the main game's PC release was handled really well so I had pretty good faith in the release of Iceborne.

I heard iceborne released kind of badly in the form of graphical crashes or something but I can't remember super well

Might've, but I didn't have problems personally.
There seem to have been a couple PS4 ports lately that have had crash issues on PC release.
Horizon Zero Dawn still has a pretty poor Steam review because of how crashy the game is.
Dunno if the recent patches have made progress on that yet.

monster hunter language?

huh, this game isn't an official EU release

>>873260
It's a pseudo language that's mostly just phonetics with an occasional identifiable monster name dropped in.
Entirely nonsensical.
It was how speech was handled in the MonHun games up until World so I use it out of nostalgia.
For following along with the actual game, Japanese is probably your best bet.

yup
figured that was gonna be an issue

Ah yikes.
That's a really small VRAM count for modern games.

i made the genius decision of selecting english but then turning down the volume anyway because i wasnt interested in the story i was interesting in the multiplayer hunting

i can't upgrade my pc

laptop don't suit with that
desktop would start with
>replace everything

just gotta hope the game knows to relay on regular RAM when the vram is out

monhun also has sick mods like smarthunter which i exclusively use to know when something is in capture range without having to look at my minimap

...
But your mini-map is right there.

yes but smarthunter makes it even more right there and also i can use it to shittalk kokoro's dps when i play with him

It just feels like an excessively unnecessary crutch to me.

it saves me a whole have second of looking down and instead the information is right in front of my face

*Old man voice* Back in my day you couldn't even look at your map to know when a monster was in capture range, your only indication was that it was literally limping away from you

That's what I mean by excessively unneccssary crutch.
You're not wasting anything sparing less than a second to use your peripheral vision to check your mini-map.

what if he is that tunnel vision?

Then you glance at the map, and then reorientate.
You still only take maybe a second tops and that's not going to mess up your hunt and don't @ me about a second wasted.

i am in fact THAT tunnel vision

think of all the seconds im saving not doing it tho

I said don't @ me motherfucker

The Scott Pilgrim game was honestly a pretty fun beat 'em up.
A surprisingly solid game for a movie tie-in.
Like Lord of the Rings GBA Diablo-but-with-a-LOTR-skin surprisingly solid.
