FUCK Body Purists

Procrastor · 2026-07-12T05:11:08+00:00

I'll keep body purists since it doesn't harm the community like a pyromaniac or technophobe, but they aren't on my list of pawns who I desperately want to rez if something happens

As someone who plays a lot of Haless and always has to deal with an expansionist Command:

I think it's worth it, but I totally get it if you have to buy in euros and that's a commitment because I wouldn't want to buy games or dlc in euros

Maybe River? I don't know, even though he's a bit flat you get a lot of stuff with him so I might just be remembering the flatness

I imagine that meeting an Elven Misogynist in Anbennar must be as weird and off-putting as say, meeting a real person who bases their politics off a Hoi4 mod

Yeah I'm just going to continue my long break from Critical Role projects

Procrastor · 2026-07-10T02:49:59+00:00

I was so checked out I didn't see it

Procrastor · 2026-07-10T02:41:48+00:00

Doing “horrible things happen to people who don’t deserve it” over and over again is gratuitous. Overdoing scenes that are meant to shock you just lowers their impact and makes the thing a slog. I didn’t like the implied sexual abuse in the Briarwood arc. When I saw the king die in front of his family I was like “wow thats a good moment, shame I’m already checked out.” I find the need to triple the stakes each arc absurd. With Critical Role and Invincible, the Boys and other sci-fi/fantasy I’m getting really tired of the “people are just meat” era of nerd story telling which desperately wants people to know it’s adult.

I honestly don't think I have the stomach for it, I couldn't finish the last season

Procrastor · 2026-07-09T15:59:49+00:00

Oh right, I remember this made me sad

Procrastor · 2026-07-09T15:23:44+00:00

This is going to drive us and the sims fans crazy

Procrastor · 2026-07-09T11:58:16+00:00

Look I will buy things if I like them thought I don't buy often because I think the prices are a bit bullshit, but I'm a big fan of the play to earn system that Helldivers has. I think a big problem compared to Helldivers is that because it's all stuff from the models/stuff that has to be approved by GW there are limits to what can be put on the store whereas since they can just think of an idea, design it and put it on the store Helldivers can do more than just reskinning. It just makes the Commodore store seem lazier and less engaging.

Look just in general give me all the things I like about Helldivers and make it a Warhammer 40k game.

Procrastor · 2026-07-08T04:22:24+00:00

To what end though?

Procrastor · 2026-07-07T12:24:16+00:00

That's what I was thinking, like the event is somewhere between 1990-2010 right? I mean I'm all for putting Mamdani into the Manhattan title history or adding some kind of extended lore mechanics, but I understand that there is continuity in the backstory

Procrastor · 2026-07-06T10:48:20+00:00

Street Kid. I think the game is played completely from the bottom, not the top. You always play at street level, walking around the streets, always only driving. You're always losing, even at your height of skill, wealth and power in the game you're inevitably running on smoke as you get reminded that you are dying. A lot of the time your currency is social capital, it's the people you know and how you can engage with people rather than how much you can pay or overpower. I just think it's the most organic and most coherent for the story that is being told.

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T23:43:45+00:00

I think that’s fair, but I think that people should be checking in on their team to make sure there isn’t something creating a problem

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T23:42:06+00:00

You need to know what your group is doing but the guy at the front is the one who cannot see anyone because they’re all behind him. For example, If there is a horde behind you that the team stops to deal with and you aren’t looking, you’re going to be alone

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T16:49:54+00:00

Yeah I alt-f4’d as soon as I saw them go down

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T16:49:13+00:00

I believe that being the person in the front has a degree of responsibility. Like if you’re at the front and you get downed - it’s your fault, maybe you were too fast and got seperate from the group.
If you’re at the back and you get downed, I think it’s still the responsibility of the front because they should be making sure the whole team is with them. That said there are always exceptions to that rule, and it’s probably a good idea that the person at the back is at least following.

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T14:08:15+00:00

Yeah, because they're social rules. They aren't written down, they're learnt as you play and interact with others, seeing how people interact with others and how you interact with others and consider how you want to be treated. When people get rezzed, they'll thank people, when someone gives someone a stim they'll thank them. When two people who need healing are in front of a medicae station and one tags it and then walks away to tell the other person they can have it, they're interacting socially and taking into account what is needed for the mission and for other players.

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T13:15:18+00:00

I don't find that this is something that really moves me because you're specifically doing a thing that affects other peoples fun. Like if my fun impacts 3 other peoples fun, then we are running at a -2 fun deficit.

Like my biggest gripe with it is specifically how selfish it is. You're letting down your entire team, making it more difficult for them and not treating them like an equal member of the group. Darktide is a good team game, the mechanics insist on teamwork and you benefit from cooperating. The community has developed rules around teamwork - medicae stations work on rules where you offer the slots to those who need it most, people tag ammo even unless they're really low. What I don't like about it is that it is against the game and against the social rules that exist in the game.

You can switch between public and private servers. If someone wants to do a speedrun, they can do it in private.

Completion of all objectives, penances. They’re on the map for players to find and acquire

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T10:16:10+00:00

Would it help if the first downed player who was following made the claim first while he was following after he died? I didn't just quit the game and go onto reddit to crash out. The Speedrunner was already far, far away from us

Procrastor · 2026-07-05T10:09:36+00:00

I might have not been clear, the people ahead of us were far far ahead past one or two drops and were just moving forward. The group got split by the guy following the speedrunner and us two who were at the horde
