Also, I'm really terrible at playing them.

You're probably right but I tend to ignore anyone I don't already know and just focus on shooting them in their stupid faces. I also only play hardcore but I dunno if that makes a difference community wise.

I don't think it comes up in the sequels, but Ash--while also horrible in every other way--was a huge racist in ME1 for what it's worth.

Edit since my original wording made her racism sound like her only redeeming quality.

I played with ex(goons) and it was fun and chill at first. Like, there was a custom mission someone made where we were dressed as Eastern Orthodox priests and we paradropped in. Goofy stuff like that but also some serious stuff.

But then some of them went full blown sperg and we would do the dumbest, most tedious poo poo. Missions that took three hours because an hour was spent planning and then there would be a long rear end infil/exfil movements to be ~realistic~. If you died, that sucks. Hang out and watch on kill cam while the rest the team goes on. Also every map had an insane number of enemies on it so you spend more time figuring out how to bypass them then actually fighting them. And constantly replaying the same missions until we finally solved it. More than an hour per a mission, with or without respawn, is loving insane imo.

The final straw for me was when one guy found some random reserve officer's website and started going through the manuals and SOPs that were posted there and insisted we do all this tactical poo poo.

Most real life poo poo doesn't work in arma because the loving ai and oh yeah it's a loving video game but I always kept my mouth quiet as to not be that "you're doing it wrong" guy.

I didn't like it tbh and quit 4 hours in and YouTubed the ending. Paid $40 but it's worth like $25 at best now and I'm not going to deal with flakey craiglist people that want to trade me for Jordans

The biggest problem with shooters is how often you run into people with aimbots and no way to kick them.

I'm up to mission 11. It's really good. The art is unbelievable, the level design is exceptional, and the rate at which they introduce new poo poo for you to use is really good. The characters are also quite excellent! And they went full Mikado on the accents which is pretty funny.

Be warned: the bonus objectives are merciless. If you're not sure if it'll be your thing I'd recommend downloading the demo first--it's the entire first level, and then you can take up to an hour to try and finish the second one. If you decide to buy the game after that, it'll remember everything you did in the demo and carry it over.

I traded in TLG and Overwatch today. TLG was rad as hell and I have zero desire to ever play that game again.

Overwatch is not my bag.

Anyway, Gran Turismo Sport. The visuals are across the board. The cars are gorgeous and some aspects of the track are nice. Trees are noticeably awful. 2D cut outs. Game runs at a solid 60 fps on the pro.

As for how the game plays, cars have a nice feel through the controller. Plays well on a game pad. There is still that unmistakeable clinical Gran Turismo feel to it all.

I play with a few friends I met goofing off in servers and none of us take it seriously. It's fun if you don't give a poo poo. Also I've noticed all Godholio does is play 64 player 24/7 operation Metro like it's some sort of weird addiction. Tried playing in there a couple of times and realized the servers nick name of "meat grinder" was appropes

Yeah, that server's loving nuts. But I'm trying to get all the weapon unlocks, and that's the best server I've found for farming kills. I've also managed to kick off political arguments in chat, and get a few people banned (for 20 years, iirc) by baiting them into using words that the server will auto-ban for.

Does anyone here play FFXIV? When I stopped playing the only advancement was running dungeons over and over again. Did they ever add alternate, non instanced ways to get gear? I'm a sucker for MMOs and I miss exploring for gear and hunting down rare monsters. I don't want instanced tunnel dungeons.

Dungeons are still the best way to get currency for gear, but they did add a lot of different ways to get it. Crafted gear is a lot better now too. There's not much like what I think you're looking for though. How long ago did you quit?
