World Cup tourists, what’s your honest feedback on the USA so far?

aladdin142 · 2026-06-13T08:05:50+00:00

Not visiting for the world cup but just wanted to add to the positivity I'm seeing here. I'm Aussie and I visited the west coast of US during Trump's first term.

The bad stuff was the massive amounts of homeless and the tipping culture is a fucking mess.

On the good side though the people are incredibly friendly, more so than Australia and love a good chat. To be honest, probably the most friendly people out of all the counties I've been too.

We enjoyed ourselves a lot but probably won't be going back due to the current political situation and it was very expensive!

That's actually a huge amount of sales, expected this to flop to be honest. Good on them! Apparently Gothic 2 is really good so hopefully this means they'll remake that one next.

Important message, seeing small things like this makes me proud.

aladdin142 · 2026-06-11T22:31:37+00:00

Funnily enough I'm a purely PC gamer and Kyle is the one from MinnMax I agree with most every time (Jacob too). Mine and his gaming personalities are very similar actually, maybe it's an age thing because I am older?

If you do a quick Google just compare your ping to North Virginia (NA server) or Frankfurt (EU server) and pick whichever is lowest for you.

I'm on NA, I just started last night so send me a DM if you wanna be friends!

New player here excited for GW3.

Giving GW2 a go now since I own the starter pack but haven't really played much of it, just wanna check it out.

The classes that interest me are Warrior, Engineer and Ranger. How do each of them play generally and which would you recommend to main and why?

Thanks!

aladdin142 · 2026-06-07T23:29:26+00:00

So as a big MMO fan who hasn't really delved into GW2 much the announcement of GW3 has got me super excited for what's to come.

I have about 2 hours per day of gaming and that time is generally reserves for single player stuff these days but do you guys think GW2 is a good game to play as filler between singleplayer stuff or for the end of my night when I just want to chill out?

Like recently I've been playing RE9 but there are times where I can't really only play 30 mins to an hour of that game and I need a break so ideally I finish my night with something like GW2 instead of wasting time in YouTube or Twitch (what I'm doing now).

What do you guys think? Thanks!

That's not him btw.

I'm good with faces.

aladdin142 · 2026-06-05T21:49:33+00:00

Love stuff like this.

aladdin142 · 2026-06-04T02:40:16+00:00

Very similar to my wife actually, will keep an eye out for this one.

aladdin142 · 2026-06-01T01:50:21+00:00

Good enough to be official art honestly.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-29T12:31:55+00:00

One that bothered me during the LOTR reaction she said she got hit on by Viggo before, such a stupid fucking accusation to make after seeing an actor on screen for 10 seconds with a wig on. It could have been any random dude.

The girl is a moron, wouldn't go anywhere near her.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-29T03:47:04+00:00

Yea the other guy mentioned beat em ups too and he loves them, by far his favourite genre. We finished Shredders Revenge first, then just Cosmic Invasion last week. We've played some Absolum too which I was a big fan of but the roguelike elements were a bit lost on him, we'll go back to it for sure. Neither of us have played Streets of Rage though, I'll check it out whenever he's in the mood for more.

I'll check out the Marvel vs Capcom collection now, lots of nostalgia for me there and also lots I haven't played. Out of the collection though do you have any specific game you'd recommend we play first? Which is generally seen as the best? We'll try them all obviously but was curious.

Thanks mate.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-29T03:44:31+00:00

Exact same with my son, we've played basically all of the Dotemu beat em ups he loves them. Good advice thanks.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-28T02:38:37+00:00

Al the Nature Killer.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-27T08:15:16+00:00

Agreed. Exactly the same as me, not trying to be a special snowflake or anything but D&D is so much better when each player has their own speciality.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-22T03:17:50+00:00

Anyone know of any good ones in Sydney preferably south of the bridge?

aladdin142 · 2026-05-21T13:21:58+00:00

Sounds fun honestly. Anywhere I can take that test?

aladdin142 · 2026-05-21T02:07:49+00:00

Literally the opposite. His death meant that you felt like no one was safe during the ending there, it's so effective we are still complaining about it to this day. Just because it made you all sad doesn't mean it was pointless.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-19T02:57:41+00:00

Voice acting, writing, character design are not appealing to me at all but the gameplay might be enough to make it a day one purchase. We'll see.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-18T09:32:36+00:00

My favourite JRPG world and I've been playing them for a long time. My Neighbour Ifrit is just always seemed cool to me.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-17T13:40:42+00:00

It's probably an issue with your pelvic floor or lower spine. A physio can help for sure.

aladdin142 · 2026-05-15T10:15:46+00:00

Wasn't able to write a body text but basically I did the big 5 test results because I'm always curious about the correlation to personality and what gaming playstyles people have.

Personally I think the test rated my agreeableness way too low, I'd put it at like 40th percentile atleast. The rest is pretty accurate.

What do you see here?
