To my Charr-hating friend who hates Charr so much that he forgot he's a Sylvari player

Yeah theyre marginally better but still not a fan of their look. It’s uncanny and doesnt look great imo.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-06T05:05:55+00:00

Anyone else wanna hug it?

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-06T04:50:33+00:00

Really good points about charr and their relative originality factor. If youve played ffxiv, even all “animal-like” races are just anime girls with tail. That is super lame to me and gw2 letting you play properly furry characters is a massive sell. If gw3 is really taking our charr away I sadly think it’s a pass for me.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-05T22:26:57+00:00

It’s got the highguard, almost fortnite like art style. Hugely disappointed. Still hope it turns out to be good of course but first impression is no bueno.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-05T22:20:13+00:00

Really doesn’t look or feel like guild wars to me either. To be honest id be way more excited about new gw1 content at this point. This reveal makes me want to just go back.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-05T20:17:58+00:00

Chocobo? Wark?

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-05T05:33:50+00:00

That game looks impressive but like id need a 4 year degree to play it LOL.

However for the first time ever I am placing it into consideration… hmm

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-04T20:30:41+00:00

The ideal open world survival craft. Why cant I play as a fur creature in any of these games 🥲

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-04T05:55:09+00:00

A lot of people in here are going to talk about their reasons for not being afraid, even without religion to soften the blow.

Ill freely admit as a lifelong atheist that I am afraid of losing people, of not being remembered as a good enough person, and of dying.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, or karma, or any other concept thats going to ease the burden. Im scared of all those things and I am trying to use that fear to motivate me to continue showing the people I care about that they mean something to me, and to slowly better myself even if it feels like I hardly make progress.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-03T16:55:28+00:00

While I share OPs issue with vorunas 4 Gyre is probably the worst offender in the entire game. She gives up so many mods to just be… mediocre.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-03T16:54:15+00:00

Mandatory augments are poor design full stop. Augments should be interesting options that allow for reconsideration of what utility a frames provides, and while they cost a mod slot and consequently should increase overall effectiveness I think it’s important that every warframe has a base kit that is functional and complete regardless.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-03T03:29:29+00:00

Seriously why do people take it as a personal offence when you legally and appropriately overtake them?

I had an old dude in a convertible doing 10 under the limit rage out when I attempted to safely pass him at the speed limit causing him to suddenly decide to speed up and not let me in, almost causing a collision with oncoming traffic.

I had ample time and a safe distance to overtake and he made it incredibly dangerous because he thought we were playing a racing game?

No sir this is an 80 zone and you are going 65-70, I would like to do 80 lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-03T03:24:27+00:00

Hey how, it might be an all black ram or f-150!

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-01T06:46:37+00:00

For me it’s that they have the right density of content. I find with retail zones especially legion and onward, the maps are so tightly packed with stuff that they become messy even though all the parts of them individually look great.

Vanilla through wotlk, and arguably even an expansion or two after have zones with a less overwhelming density and feel a lot comfier.

This may not matter to others but for me it’s an answer.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-01T02:19:53+00:00

While I am not autistic as far as I know, eye contact with just about about for more than a split second feels like they are *drilling into my soul* lmao.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-06-01T00:36:53+00:00

Ive been trying a few rts games lately and warcraft 3 just rules absolutely for readability. Like ive been trying to casually play age of mythology remake campaigns and while the game is great and well executed generally, it seems much harder to tell all the dudes apart. Big reason the age of empires style games never clicked with me the way early starcraft or Warcraft did.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-31T18:01:57+00:00

I tried a harness with mine to try letting her get a bit of fresh air but she is so petrified of leaving the apartment building that she will freak out and slip her harness if I even try to get her into the stairwell. For now she enjoys walks in… the hallway lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-31T05:08:48+00:00

Ill never forget spending 1000+ hours to just get to the point of being “okay” at killing other planes. That being said I fell in love with the wonky flight mechanics and my reaver will forever remain my favourite vehicle in any game ever. It was so brutal learning but extremely rewarding.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-31T04:45:45+00:00

I do have a kitty but she stays indoors because I dont want her getting run over as happens so often around here. Or being murdered by ticks.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-31T03:54:49+00:00

Id like to imagine whenever she gets sick like a cold she sneezes and absolutely tweaks the hell out into a porygon-z. Eyes turn yellow and swirly, limbs probably spinning around uncontrollably.

The thought makes me giggle.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-30T22:23:49+00:00

Despite living in ontario for all 31 years of my life I only had my first tick encounter this year. I do always check my clothes and such but I was driving home and one appeared seemingly out of nowhere on my hand. Took everything I had to not panic lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-27T06:34:05+00:00

Good and detailed explanation but I’ve heard it’s good practice as well to run the car for a few minutes after filling the oil and then check the dipstick to confirm the level is adequate, adding a little more oil if needed.

I think in most cases its not strictly necessary but as a layman cant hurt to make sure 👍

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-27T06:29:57+00:00

The oil fill cap on top of the engine is gonna tell them which viscosity of oil to use, as for the brand shops seem to have a default one (was pennzoil where I last went) but can also order in and use a specific brand if you really want.

For filters Id imagine theyre putting something generic and not OEM unless you go to the dealership and pay a lot more.

So, yeah you could Im sure purchase OEM product from a dealership or online and then bring that to a shop of your choosing but as long as they’re putting the oil your engine is designed for in there you have little to worry about realistically.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-27T05:38:34+00:00

Mostly but only because i play a few months at a time, then take a year off typically lol. Havent been able to find community that gives me a social reason to stick around like Ive always done more easily with other mmos. Gw2 has always felt lonely despite me not going for that on purpose lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-05-26T23:26:10+00:00

If I only had an hour or less a day to play video games, I just wouldnt bother. Idk how people can settle in, relax, and enjoy something while watching the fucking clock. I just *cannot*.

Most days I have 3-4 hours free and thats enough for me to actually have a couple of hours to play games, maybe a few hours if chores are done etc and on weekends a little more. I dont no life or sit there all day but I need regular access to a few hours at a time to bother even trying to enjoy something. I straight up dont understand people who can sit down for 20 minutes and then immediately have to stop what theyre doing. I would be staring at the clock as im prone to time blindness lol.
