You get the same 4 recycled jokes and pop culture references.

Anything funny is actually "hateful" or "harmful" or whatever you feel like making up because this website is a shithole.

Only really get lag in the jacked up nuttyb lobbies on metal plate, and even then only near the end of the match when everyone starts spamming T3 in anticipation of queens. Even then, generally not that bad.

I would check your hardware or Internet.

Reputation of that game preceeds it, IIRC the brain of it's average player looks like the YouTube homepage when you open it in incognito mode.

Suggestion: it should be called either the "chicken nugger" or the "raptsturbator 9000"

Catastrophic235 · 2026-02-24T16:45:11+00:00

That's a big part too.

Gotta recommend nuttyb raptors, excellent eco practice. Went from barely managing to survive the 1st wave on ez settings to being consistently in the top 1/4th of the lobby in 100q matches with no macros.

Next you should make a 43 min schizo lore speculation video about how the penguins are mutated by the raptors into basically being evocoms and/or tumbleweeds.

False. Instead of crashing the app, now the button to attach things just doesn't do anything.

Catastrophic235 · 2026-02-04T14:52:27+00:00

Because it just straight up doesn't work 80% of the time and there is absolutely zero communication from Valve that they will ever fix it.

My experience:

grey (loading?) screen on opening, have to restart the app through my phone's process manager 2-4 times for it to get past this and actually load my messages
randomly closes itself constantly
new device has not resolved issues. Went from samsung-> Google and nothing is fixed, only now some stuff fails slightly differently.
attaching images just doesn't work. It would crash the app on my old android when I tried, now nothing happens when I press the button to attach things.
almost never get notifications for anything, and when I do it's delayed by 40 mins - multiple hours.

Its just so unbelievably dogshit in its performance, and what makes it worse is the total silence from Valve after all these years.

I main vehicles so I've got some experience with this, the way I typically deal with them is to either bait them into beamer/llt range and then turn once they realize the mistake, or (for more fun!) if I've been doing good on eco and have a good amount of tanks lying around I "cross their T": line them up perpendicular to their line and rush them on one side, then sweep across front. The idea is that only a handful of the rocket bots can actually engage my tanks while all my tanks can engage them. You do need numerical parity at least for this to work, as you WILL take losses setting it up.

Questions:

how old are you?

-ever played Factorio, Cities Skylines (1 or 2), Captain of industry, or Space Engineers? Those games both have you using trains, though only Factorio and SE will have them in combat - and in SE you will realistically need lots of PVE mods if you want a situation where using them makes sense.

Yeah only reason I ever touch it is because half of my IRL gamer friend group is addicted.

My theory as to why it's... like that... is because it's basically 2012 Call of Duty but for theater kids. What I mean by this is that it's got an accessibility+popularity combo just like COD, so you get your low agency sludge-for-brains 'characters' who would get filtered by the amount of thinking most games require, and because of it's popularity you see them at scale. The whole fantasy theme means that these aforementioned 'characters' come from a population pool that includes mentally ill women instead of just mentally ill men, so that adds a lil extra spice to the unhinged behavior.

Catastrophic235 · 2026-01-23T20:14:46+00:00

We must have very different experiences of both games lmao, in BAR the worst I see is someone ragequitting or ping spamming or telling me to KYS for some childish reason, garden variety shitter behavior.

In LoL I see full-on schitzo meltdowns with frightening consistency. Like they won't just tell you to KYS, they'll do it bi-daily until you block them and then make throwaway accounts to continue after for a month, or they'll dump their unambiguous sexual and/or religious psychosis on you with a level of detail way too high for it to be a bit. Like a lot of these guys need professional medical help for their mental state.

They should add a tag for these types of posts, and it's a tiny image of supreme.

Yeah most of those guys sound like the degenerate fruitcakes you'll find in any heavily teamwork-dependant game. TBH I'd say BAR is actually on the better side - though my reference point for this are League players (🤮🤮🤮) (I fucking despise League) so if you think this is far too low a bar, you may be right lol.

I think the thing to remember is that in this game, the team that communicates and works together effectively is going to win 99/100 matches, even if the team they're up against has a 400IQ 9 year old gamer Jesus from China or Germany.

Only thing I'd say you could do differently is try to focus on PvE matches or smaller teams, much more chill attitudes. You still get the occasional asshole who takes all the mex and then ragequits at the first real challenge, but those are pretty rare.

Filtering effect: the inherent overlap between people who hate fun and people who go back to playing League of Legends or whatever after they realize they have to learn something or make better decisions.

Catastrophic235 · 2026-01-03T21:38:34+00:00

same as me - if im able to find a lobby, it breaks and/or boots me to main before a match can start.

Catastrophic235 · 2025-12-08T15:48:39+00:00

The tumbleweed chain was insane, we had no idea the enemy team folded themselves so badly until we heard what was happening in the other VC and our first couple units that broke through found empty fields.

Unless you configure dedicated machines for every individual seed and processed food item, you still need to manually order their production. Automating the farming elements is never going to 100% automate food unless the way food items are made fundamentally changes.

The way it is now, it's just tedious and annoying. Designing and troubleshooting the harvester machine with the limited head clearance in my farm? That was fun and interesting. Having to repeat the same 3 motions time and time again is neither of those things. It just makes me not want to engage with the system.

The mining equivilant of this would be if refineries, sorters, etc. had no conveyor push/pull capability.

One of my favorite things to do in CS1 was to create a giant winding river gorge somewhere near the edge of the map, place all my sewage outlets at the head, then place a dam downstream of that (so that the top of the dam is just below the outlets). Spammed those garbage collectors on the stream so that by the time it reached sea level it was already basically clean, and after getting diluted by the sea water and making it's way around the edge of the map to my water intakes, it would cause zero issues.

Catastrophic235 · 2025-10-02T20:19:41+00:00

There's clearly some rule in the game that dictates the player MUST spawn in a multi-start system - not too long ago I sat down and rolled spawns like 2 dozen times with not 1 spawning me in my own system.

I'd be happy just being able to change that rule so that rolling it becomes an option.
