On a scary morning like this, it's really great to see a thread like this with such supportive people. It makes facing a hard four years a lot easier.

Thanks! We can get through this.

I mean the game starts with Gladiolus' butt right up there in the front. I'm sure they know their audience

I've got a little extra money so I've decided to buy both Titanfall 2 and Dishonored 2. I really need some escapism right now, for obvious reasons.

Looking forward to shooting some robits.

Well titanfall 2 is fun but I found out my Xbox live gold trial account is completely blocked from multiplayer. I had nothing better to do this early morning so I spent an hour with tech support and they supposedly can't do anything to fix it on their end and they'll email me "when there's an update", aka go gently caress yourself.

I thought Sony was supposed have the shutter account system, how is Microsoft screwing something up they've had running for a decade?

To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

This is really dumb but I've been tooling around the forums for 30 minutes and I can't figure it out. I haven't been active in a few years. I used to play CoD on the 360 with a pile of goons mainly based out of the IRC channels. I don't see any threads like that anymore. Is there still a community for stuff like this? I just got back into shooters and I want to play BF1 with actual teammates. I always preferred the goon route to joining some bullshit guild.

Check the BF1 thread. I don't know (and am too lazy to go look) but I'd guess they have a discord channel or something going. Should be in the op.

I finished my Bloodborne stream and this is the news I come back to! I said it on twitter but I'll say it here too, I agree with FirstAidKite. Things may look dire, but we'll all be okay. It's a dark time, but I've seen darker. I've seen probably the darkest thing a person can experience*, and it's not fun. But it's worse than this, and I survived it. If I survived, you can too! We'll all survive it together.

*real personal stuff when I was 16 I tried to kill myself and I almost succeeded! My teenage years were very grim for my family life and I was bullied real bad in high school for being skinny and gay. I've come to terms with my decision now though, and I've mostly moved past it. I will never forget the pitch blackness I saw and felt, it's honestly probably the scariest thing I've ever experienced. So now, in the face of crazy batshit adversity like Trump, I say nuts to it. I'm not afraid.

My wife and I actually fell asleep to the soothing sounds of your stream. Thanks forums buddy. Today, we are all shitposters.

I'm going to play Mafia 3 and see if I can find some white supremacists to shotgun in the face.

I didn't know that when people in games were referencing Assassin's Creed when they'd say that since I never played those. I knew the phrase from mysticism and chaos magick and stuff like that.

Well, I hope it was a reassuring cry, like a "phew" cry. I'm a weakboy so I tear up at things like cute as poo poo puppies and the intro to Up, but overall crying is good, it's a ~release of emotion~. So if you're crying, it means you still care.

Go on Videogames, make your speech.

My dearest Humans.

While I'm not an American, and as such held no sway over the presidential vote, I am still one of you. I still feel surprise, shock, sadness and incredulity at the events that have occurred before us today. I do not hate, however, and I do not feel anger. I feel a sense of strength building. I feel a sense of ideology for a better and brighter future growing within.

These next years will not be easy for many innocent folks and they will be fraught with times so trying that you may wish to give up. I implore you not to. I implore that you group together. That you stand side by side and combat that which seeks to tear you down. You are better than you have ever been and you are more hopeful inside than you believe you can possibly feel right now, but I assure you it is there.

Sometimes bad things happen but there will always be someone to stand with you, to hold you up high alongside them and make it through the fog. Hope is pure and cannot be removed. Nothing lasts forever in this world.

No matter what happens you have friends, you have like minded humans with you and not just in your country. There are those in the world who wish to be your pillars when you are feeling like collapse.

If no one else, I will be that pillar and I will help you through these bad times. It will pass and it will get better.

This, I promise.
