100%, I hate matchmaking. Give me old school server selections. Some of the best times I had in PvP was in Gears of War 1, where I’d get my teeth repeatedly kicked in by the same group of people and LEARN from what they did.
“If I dodge this way instead of this way its more effective.” “They never use this specific weapon I like, maybe it actually sucks.”
You don’t get that in matchmaking because you never see the same people again, you can’t learn from those more skilled at the game because of this. Unless I go watch youtube videos of people playing it that are better than me, I don’t get that sense of immersion. I hate watching videos of other people playing, I’d rather jump in, and study my enemy in a live environment.
We’ve a weekly game night with a few friends. We mostly play survival crafters, because that’s about the only co-op experience we can find anymore…
That said, we’re doing a private server run-through of Barotrauma that promises to be fun.
Thats exactly what it is, mobile gaming showed up with its microtransactions and proved its model was vastly more profitable, and so the downhill slide began.
I hate matchmaking so much!!! Its such a garbage mechanic. Let me pick a server to play against/with the same dozen people over and over. Some of the best impromptu friendships I’ve ever had were from server based PvP, because I could encounter the same people over and over.
Pay to win models are shit. Much prefer twitch/skill based models where you can’t apply currency to anything mechanical.
Check out “Brain Organoid Insectoid Robots” and feel the cosmic pressure.
Loved Ranma 1/2, but there was a lot of filler in the anime, hopefully they streamline things a bit more in the remake.
I rather like how inclusive he’s being with his hate. “Trouble” made me laugh, looking out for the under-hated groups.
Instead of “I showed my faith to the man in charge” its “I showed my feet to the man in charge”, I like my version way better.
Go full RGB, acquire “Gamer Balls”.
Need to set up a railway switch track in there. Divert unneeded loads to /dev/null/ and then hit the switch to return to the normal output track.
If you decide to color I highly recommend Mofajang hair wax, rinses out immediately, stays for as long as you don’t rinse it out.
I’ve bought most of their colors, so I can mix and match and do crazy things with it. My wildest was a sunset from top to bottom, black and stars on top, dark purple, then lighter and lighter to sky blue on the bottom.
Cis straight white male here (Though I am Aro…) I color my beard, and I wear some eye shadow occasionally, have done various things with makeup, its a fun time!
edit: By “color my beard” I mean big, vibrant colors, not like “I’m greying and color it to avoid looking like it”. My favorite combo is Green on one half, and Blue on the other half.
The Brain Organoids dislike this.
I’m not a doctor, but overconsumption of water is a big indicator of diabetes :(
Thats what got me in and flagged as diabetic, I was pissing like twice an hour.
Def. The paralaxed approach Sunless Skies takes to their background design leaves you stunned, even in areas where nothing’s going on. In the vast emptiness there is still crazy multi-tiered happenings going on below you.
The artistic designs this game utilized blow me away constantly.
Its def 2 games mashed into one. The train/ship gameplay and the narrative. Both are mostly separate things. I don’t mind though, its a blast. Its creepy and convoluted in all the best ways.
I think I’m 70 or so hours into this playthrough, and I haven’t completed a single of the 4 maps yet.

I read this title as “Fascifacts” instead of “Facists”…
I think that instead of calling it fake news, we should start calling it “Fascifacts.”
