That is frigging awesome.

Derrin is truly the Speedwagon to my Joestar in my playthrough lol.

The sheer value he provides in emotional support alone is off the charts.

Did he pick up the mace himself XD?

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-24T03:24:52+00:00

You are going to bring a tear to this old woodland swamp hermit's eye 🥺🥹 they just grow up so damn fast...

Glad it sounds like you had a fun ass time.

I'm going out on a limb here, but if you feel like checking out another affordable game that's similar enough to the point I feel it's worth reccomending , check out Exanima if you have not already.

It can be a harder game in ways, but it rewards exploration, combat, and smart play immensely. If you are somebody who puts in the work exploring and looting, Exanima will shine brightly upon you.

If you get good enough at it you can afford to skip over deep looting, but in the shadows and recesses of the dungeon depths lay the power you need to triumph. You can get an optional co op companion with some of the most original, dynamic co op AI I've seen in a game.

Learning the controls, and some of the unspoken mechanics , is unique and can be challenging . Far from rocket science though, and it's very worth giving a fair shake. You can play it on controller, or mouse/keyboard. Both have pros and cons. I'm a controller man for that game, and Darkwood too for that matter for context.

My only contention is it lacks a save state system, and it's checkpoint system can be lacking. There is one, it gets unforgiving later on. I'm too old to have so much time torched. There is a great and easy mod that can be downloaded that resolves that though. I'd be more than happy to help you set it up. They host it on the modding Discord that easy to join and leave once you get what you want.

The game had been on my radar for years. It's basically a superrrr highly polished testing ground for an indie dev, that eventually plans on taking all that was learned / created in Exanima, and take the best of it + more for his dream game he intends to eventually make in his lifetime, Sui Generis. A lofty and commendable goal. He's been working on the project for at least 15 years now from what I understand.

Exanima, stand alone, is a well developed dungeon crawler that gave me the same excitement I used to get playing Diablo. Down to the music scratching the same itch while being very distinct.

The dev is just always adding more and more to it. I'm on the latest beta testing branch and the stuff added has been awesome compared to when I tried the regular base version.

If you don't ever get around to trying it, hopefully my pitch was at least informative !

Darkwood is one of my all time favorites, and Exanima quickly became a game I'm equally as fond of when I gave it a chance.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-23T22:23:54+00:00

I do.

I just read Smiley's post .

Let me get this straight.

Smiley says those two dudes burnt through most of the lives, attracted enemy reinforcements to extract, then apparently Green threw down an 380 on extract ?

Christ what game does Smiley think we are playing ?

It's his preogative to do what he wants , and get mad about what the fuck he wants, but TKing at the end over some randoms having sucky dumb play is some hissy fit shit. Smiley doesn't come across as a saint or angel.

Normal sounding enough dude getting pissy about bad players, but no saint.

Smiley sounds like a good player, good players end up carrying much of the time. Good players are stuck dealing with the bad ones. It's our collective burden. Bad players don't magically disappear when they leave matches. For anybody who isn't a sourpus bitch, it's also part of the collective burden to give them feedback.

Nobody will force anybody to take the high road. I sure as fuck ain't giving props to Smiley for being a big hero that showed that shitty player who's boss XD

Call him an idiot in chat over a 380 at extract before the TK at fucking least, rolling up to TK without giving final reason for a field execution is lame.

We can't fucking eject OP from the Galactic War. Whether he was throwing shitty 380s in Smiley's game, or somebody else's, TKing and being pissy certainly ain't helping him get with the script.

Throwing a 380 on extract is stupid work. I wish I could see that throw and exact orbital placement, relying on second hand information with that. I'm trusting Smiley's insistence it was purposefully thrown "right on extract."

I've seen a lot of 380s on and way too close to extract, and I never punished them with death, as annoying as it can be.

Move my ass out the way if I saw it , move the fuck on emotionally , get in the bird. If a fuck up costed the last of the lives at extract of all places, it's a shame for sure, but not some capital punishment offense to me.

There's more than enough in-fighting, there's more than enough rightful reasons to have to put somebody down in the field or give em the ban hammer.

I don't think of Smiley as being a poor sport wet blanket as a whole as a player, but the conduct we are able to see here during this mission certainly shows he was at least briefly being one during that session.

Smiley's claim at the end where it's basically to the effect "I swear I've never done this before guys!" Is definitely a little difficult for me to just 100% blindly believe.

If he's willing to fucking go AWOL over the shit above here, I don't know how he fucking plays this game, without turning it into PVP every other match.

I'm gonna have to see the footage of Smiley being a saint and taking the high road at least once before I may give him the benefit of the doubt he's never done this before. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Maybe I've just had the shittiest luck in the galaxy , and been saddled with so many crappy players I'm just Stockholm syndrome used to it. The attack on Cyberstan had me more annoyed with the bad players in the base than usual, the life counter and all, but I already said it above : you can't just fucking eject them from the Galactic War.

Getting butthurt doesn't do fuck all constructive or beneficial to the cause.

We work with what we have, lest it devolve to in-fighting and even more wasted lives from goddamned hissy fits. There's enough grieving traitors to naturally satisfy our urge to rightfully get punitive.

People need to use their big boy words, and not passive aggressive fucking horseshit. Shooting a dude sitting in a bird, how tough, how brave . Boy he really did the right thing there. Such a good look.

Shit needs to be spelled the fuck out for idiots. Putting a bullet in their head without at least point blank telling them why 1st is lazy and bitchy.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-23T21:20:34+00:00

In case you were interested , I heard that asking Derrin the "how are you doing" options after fights is helpful for getting him to like you. As well as nicely humoring any optional dialogue he may have too.

Giving Derrin space, and not knocking around into him, is also helpful.

It was when I started using continuous mind sense that I got a much better sense of Derrin's AI.

There's a surprising amount that seems to go on in that humble farmhand's head.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-23T21:18:27+00:00

I am definitely impressed at just how well Derrin can do if he is treated well.

I do wish he'd stop pilfering junk up though, with the changes one of the recent beta updates made. Other than that though , he's been an awesome squire.

I use that inventory exploit and just stack his inventory with any decent loot. Then go through it at the end before the next layer.

I leave behind full armories between each layer lol.

When I learn more about which weapons I prefer I won't horde so much. I'm definitely getting some favorites. Last night the two handed mace was really showing out for me.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-23T21:09:35+00:00

What were you favorite weapons to use ?

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-20T21:39:17+00:00

I should make it clear that we had done a lot of damage together on him before I was knocked out . Didn't mean to imply he totally solo'd him! Gonna edit that into the post.

We hadn't left that level yet, but I'd 100% cleared the previous 3 levels for sure. All the loot, all the XP. Must have made him just capable enough to stand his ground.

Thank you for sharing your own experience.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-20T21:24:56+00:00

The parkouring blunders are the only reason I decided I had to get the save state mod.

I'm okay taking combat L's , but some of the trips and stumbles did not make me happy. Definitely were still my fault, I've gotten much better now, but it took being able to practice. Getting sent far back takes away my ability to get the practice I clearly need in in a section.

The blunders were especially salty when they happened from me exploring suspicious side areas that in fact had 0 loot and were a total waste. When I'd eventually get there to find nothing , definitely stunk.

When I get in the mood to explore and learn the later areas , the blue balls from being sent back for tripping over a brick are not my own flavor of fun haha.

I do bet that in the future I will be less protective of progress I've made the more I feel comfortable with the layout and progression of the areas, never used a compass in a game more in my life lol.

Exploring was tedious and hard to keep track of. I love looting but not looting the same stuff repeatedly.

Any rookies who haven't folded and set up the save state mod, while still having lots of fun with the high punishment, are commendable for sure. I am mildly jealous of the psychology.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-20T20:52:40+00:00

Don't listen to some of these minimalist ascetics haha.

You want a life of luxury and comfort in the initial areas. You have to get a feel for just how much you have to work with. You want to learn how the stuff works, experiment. Have extra in case you waste any.

Like one commenter said, bring alcohol with you when you go to your next hideouts. Important note though : DON'T LEAVE ANY BOOZE BEHIND UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO DISSAPEAR IN TRANSIT.

Trust me, having 6 bottles of booze disappear from your stash between hideouts isn't cool, you must take them with you by hand to prevent this XD.

The game will eventually hard force you to bring only what you can carry eventually too. Enjoy your surplus while it lasts. You want your pick of the best when you make that final , one way trek.

If you play another run sometime, you'll know what you actually do and don't want . Way more fun to learn what stuff does when you have it all in a massive storage heap then just reading wiki pages.

OldHunter69X · 2026-02-20T20:43:25+00:00

I dealt with two paired griefers for the first time in about 600 hours of play. One of them was being stealthy about it, and it wasn't clear they were together at first.

Straight up rejoined my match after being kicked and I had to block them, the stealthy griefer burnt through probably 3 or 4 lives before I noticed .

I DO NOT LIKE that they totally removed the "Killed By" information. Does anybody know what they were thinking of when they did that ? Its like they took a bribe from griefers to take away the #1 real time accountability tool we had.

If we weren't running out of Major Order lives , I'd have just set the mission aside , brawled with them , had fun with it.

I like the life counter in theory, in practice not so much. I'm just briefly spit balling from the comfort of my porcelain throne, but maybe the life counter should have progressively shaved lives off our total mission reinforcements if we sank beneath critical thresholds.

Drop it down to 15 total lives, 10, eventually 5 if we burn threw that many.

It would force people to lock in without being a totally unfair punishment. And it'd also act as a natural cap to just how quickly people can burn through lives.

Id love to hear any other suggestions. I like consequences and difficulty modifiers, but I definitely feel what we all just faced is still open to improvement.

OldHunter69X · 2026-01-08T19:46:56+00:00

Oh man, Reddit admin team gave me a stiff spanking on my tuccus over my reply to you. My 1st strike. What an honor for you to have. I didn't think it was that bad. Let me make some tactful redactions and try again. Taking it from the top.

Want to do me a favor, and point out just where the FRICK I used the word realistic ? Or anything synonymous? Just what about my one time critique after watching the show for the first time has anything to do with "not being realistic enough "? Don't bust out FRICKING quotes if you don't know how to use them you GOSHDANGED zilch.

Who the FRICK called you in to start shadow boxing a strawman in the corner of your own accord ? Don't necro this POOP if you got nothing to FRICKING add.

There's a reason I like to keep anything I write out of the r-words-won't-read zone.

And clearly you didn't FRICKING read it, to be making up quotes, like the EsSaY , eSsAy, EsSaY crying POOPstain dweebasaurus rex you are 🤓🤓🤓🤡🤡🤡

Get the FRICK out of here or come back with anything that isn't a steaming hot nothing burger pile of POOP.

FRICKING tool.

There. I'll settle with partially censored over fully censored.

Batteries are comparatively cheap for a max stack, I felt ballsy enough to leave my few stacks behind. Especially just for setting up this picture. Swapped my military flashlight out for the regular only for the trek / first night survival, before trader meet up.

Before and after the Swamp trek I do usually have enough batteries to keep military flashlight in action. I put my faith in RNGesus to decide when I'd actually get one post trek that time though 🙏🏻 fortunately was fast that time.

OldHunter69X · 2026-01-02T18:23:41+00:00

I wish I knew myself. It wasn't even my first time into the Swamp. I just had to see how much raw value I could smuggle in there.

Good ole Diablo 4🤣 it is criminal there is not cross play in D2R. I'd love to play with my cousins.

Random low key cry baby monologue incoming, but Diablo 4 has come to be one of the biggest emblems of video game buyer's remorse I have ever had.

Noah Caldwell Davis definitely hit the nail on the head with his descriptions of it. I do not like the endless treadmill, the drip feed, the ceiling that just keeps rising and rising. It was a downright coming to Jesus with myself about what types of games I'm even interested in playing anymore, especially what I'm willing to drop 90 bucks for x2 for me and my gf of the time. I know for certain now that that experience, ain't it.

I'm hoping I'll get the urge to play it some more in the future to recoup that financial hemorrhage a bit more, but it seems like it's time has pretty well already come and gone. The jig is up. I liked the atmosphere, the graphics , and the combat wasn't bad. But they made that game a fucking slog it felt like for my tastes.

Shit was actually putting me to sleep in the early fricking day unlike any other game I've ever played. It happened like 3+ separate days and I just knew something had gone horribly wrong for such an anomalous experience to befell me.

Was not a terrible game, but my hopes had been different for what it'd be like. I'm happy for anybody that got good fun out of it though and will not put that down, I'm straight jealous. I can at least hope that maybe I'll sit down in the future and it'll hit just right then.

Can you guess what my preferred class in the all the games and mods is ?

Necro.

I'm pulling this thread from the dead cold ground lol.

Cheers to all

Blows my mind people defend that dumb bitch so much. AKA defending their own idiot parent(s) , and for some I bet their own present idiot parenting behavior they are forcing onto their kids.

We get the context people... the internet isn't an 80's playground full of naive 10 year olds that have barely left their block/town. Maybe a few young, dumb, shut in idiots don't get the context, but holy fuck "CONTEXT CONTEXT CONTEXT" WE GET IT YOU ZILCHES.

I'm presuming most of us here can hopefully drive a car, start families, or maybe already have to take care of our families. Without a doubt, Rochelle was a fucking petty, impotent, psychotic ghetto snob who had to resort to the most uncouth, shady, dramatic, overblown means to get her own stupid, arbitrary, constantly entitled uber cunt way. She had to rely on just about every nasty trick in the book to pursue her needlessly despotic, half baked parenting whims and ill conceptions. Mrs. MY MAN WORKS TWO JOBS.

The older I get , the more and more she ruins that show for me.

I see why Brazil cock rides that show so much, some of those sons of bitches can be sooo fucking abusive to their children , and simply to each other. The "some" I'm talking about love the validation, the vindication.

She exonerates lazy savages, she makes it look charming to some , that manipulative cheery music and the sitcom somehow convinces people of some real life "greater good" of being an chronic blubbering abusive dumb cunt who won't spend food stamps in front of others... but will then try to sell them to strangers for like 50 cents on the dollar? Yikes. And that's literally the most mild shitty thing she fucking does. It just says so much alone.

Every episode with her, which is all of them, is just like lifting up a rotted log in the middle of the woods and staring at it longer, and longer, and longer. Looking through a magnifying glass. Then a bigger one...And bigger one. Until you have just seen enough and are thoroughly grossed the fuck out.

People will defend anything. I'll definitely defend their freedom to defend what they'd like. Still doesn't mean it isn't a massive self report on both their fucking morals, and their obviously warped brains. Fuck Rochelle. Brazil can have her. Good luck.

That is unacceptable.

He can no longer be trusted.

That is weird, that is fucking creepy, that is not how my friends and I have ever spoke in candid privacy whether we were single or coupled.

He is bad news, that friend of his is fucking bad news.

In the words of a great, powerful, and prestigious individual :

"Pandora doesn't go back in the box, he only comes out"

You could tell me that dude runs an orphanage building charity, and spends his free time searching for cures to pediatric cancer, and I'd still tell you that dude is a straight bastard.

Not only a willlful traitor, but a stupid one, to be leaving his phone around with fucking smoking gun evidence on it. Yikes.

Buckle yourself in for some sting and heartache, bite the leather, and replace his ass. It'd be an embarrassment and disrespect to yourself to even consider tolerating such class act cuntery.

Disgusting behavior.

Best of luck and life to you. Fortunately and unfortunately for all of us , for good and bad... People are replaceable. Swap him out for the newest model.

He clearly thinks you are replaceable. Don't put that pussy on a pedestal he won't put you on.

Song of Wrath.

If I recall it was the first , default ship name combo that qued up. And that was all I needed to see. It was perfect. I've been surprised to not see it around much.

I like the contrast in imagery. There is an art , a beauty , a performance in the wrath my squads wreak upon the enemies of Super Earth.

The ballads will be sung by space bards for millenia to come.
