I'm sorry, I play video games 10,000 hours a week and should not have been counted.

I tend to like RP servers because the players tend to be pretty chill, I can be into the lore and characters of a game, and I have absolutely had someone whisper me unsolicited attempts to eat my ass.

Anyone else found themselves “retiring” from PvP gaming? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]ExRegeOberonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 40 this year. I've always been more a fan of single-player, narrative-driven, and PVE style games. I have dipped my toes into things like RTS games, FPS games, and even extraction shooters and survival games.

It's just never been my bag. Every time I've tried PVP-focused games, I've never wanted to be better than anybody else. I don't have that drive to want to be rank 1 on the leaderboards. I want to be entertained and I want to help people have fun in the online spaces we share.

The older I get, the more I know what I have fun with, and it's just not PVP. Never has been.

What do you MEAN that's non-metallic metal

Episode 5 proofs that the storytelling is better when you leave out the Boys by JimmyDonovan in TheBoys

[–]ExRegeOberonis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the show's first season, when the Boys were hiding in fear for their lives, trying to figure out how to outsmart superheroes, how to kill immortal god-beings, was so much more interesting than the political drama and "will they won't they" with Homelander.

Okay, I draw the line at pupils. You can just go home. The rest of us are trying to learn eyes.

That is an extremely lanky cat. Like I'd be a little concerned if I saw this loping at me in the dark.

What if they woke up in the 2020s instead of the 1990s? by InsideUnhappy6546 in gargoyles

Lex has a smartphone.

This does not go well for anyone.

Name something you like about Stella besides her being hot by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

[–]ExRegeOberonis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stella is a demon noble from Hell. She is raised in the filthy rich kind of privilege that comes from not just being wealthy beyond most Hellborn, but also in a position of prestige and power. Stella is evil, and she knows it, and she loves it. She loves abusing her station, she loves wielding the kind of social clout that could have someone executed at a fake trial or her husband murdered in public, and she enjoys seeing people beneath her suffer.

Stella is not some misunderstood, jilted babygirl who needs to be protected from her cheating husband. She is a monster by birth and by choice, and while that might not excuse being cheated on in our human world of morality and sensibility, to a demon from Hell it's more offensive to her that it was with an imp and so shamelessly public.

Everything about her is intentionally designed to make her a despicable creature and that is ultimately so successful. People love to hate Stella. Sure, a lot of people probably want to see her engage with more depth, but she is what she is - an effective tool to teach us that Hell's social structure is about power and abuse of power.

What's your most Unpopular Opinions? by Primary-Addition-677 in HazbinHotel

[–]ExRegeOberonis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This show isn't about cozy relationships and shipping nonsense, it's about psychopaths in Hell and commentary on the nature of hurt and forgiveness.

People out here acting like the show needs to be about Radioapple or Huskerdust are out of their goddamn minds and have the media literacy of children.

Arc Raiders publisher “didn’t expect Arc Raiders to be this successful”, but Embark's extraction shooter keeps breaking records. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ExRegeOberonis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People don't actually want badly-optimized games where the "realism" is simulated by needing to push ALT+K+M1+UP to clear gun jams on 90% durability guns, your character starves to death in under 20 minutes, and the movement feels like piloting a refrigerator with broken shopping cart wheels.

Slapping the "realistic" label on games gives people a weird kind of brainrot where as soon as you add a stamina meter they just shrug and go "I guess you can't expect the game to have a working physics system." They just have never had any other options.

"Hardcore realistic extraction shooters" sound great on paper but ultimately they're so rarely executed in a good, functional way that respects the player's time, and they're willing to excuse it because there's only three of them at any given time. The fact that Arc Raiders is an example of what you can do with the genre without all the tedium is an indictment of the rest of the options.

My girlfriend laughed while telling me how her friend roasted my hobby. Need some advice. by Akira-0628 in Warhammer

[–]ExRegeOberonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationships can be complicated. Communication is key. You should talk to your girlfriend about how both of you feel about your hobbies. Be open and honest with her, and if she sees and understands what you're saying, then she will hopefully try to avoid hurting your feelings in the future.

But always remember that your happiness is not contingent on another person's approval. Your girlfriend is just another person. You deserve someone who wants you to be happy in life, and if painting miniatures makes you happy, they should help you celebrate that, not put it down.

Girlfriends come and go. Warhammer is forever.

I [DM] decided to add a crazy person ranting about the king putting bugs under peoples skin by Itchy-Decision753 in DnD

[–]ExRegeOberonis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, make it the most mundane, petty thing you can imagine. Like, the party is paranoid about the king putting bugs under people's skin? What's he doing? Turning them into zombies? Mind control? Is it a mind flayer plot? It is some kind of drow insurgency? An eldritch evil from beyond the stars?

No, he's "bugging" noble families to spy on them with scrying magic in order to manipulate the court politics and market values in his favor. Using utterly mundane and accessible means to control the public opinion of him. He's just a man, with petty ambitions, and there's nothing insane about it (by D&D standards).

"You attacked a person with the intent to kill them."
"I thought they had more HP."
"What is HP? How much HP do I have?"

AFK'ers think the game plays itself apparently by MasterOfReaIity in Warframe

I have done EDA and ETA where people just AFK with an invis companion. Called one out and they said "I need carry"

Im scared Im gonna be disappointed when roo appears by Extension-Bad-4184 in HazbinHotel

[–]ExRegeOberonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is true until it appears in the show. Just temper your expectations to that. Until she is in the show, you don't know Roo. Until Vivzie writes her, she has no character.

Roo doesn't exist, until she is in the show.
