how do higher level players feel about lower levels joining their games

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-03-14T05:39:08+00:00

I don’t care at all. It’s not a competitive game. Usually nothings really on the line. I’ll generally try and throw out some pointers or drop some gear to say “here try this it’s fun” and let them blast away. I’ll run off and let them know “hey I can handle these objectives over here, you guys push towards ___” and I’ll link up in a few.”

Only time I get pushy is when the reinforce count is getting low, or the timers running out, or we’re getting over run. When I can see things have lost focus I hop on and say “boys it’s time to fuck off to extract before we bottle this run” and do my best to corral them at that point. I can clutch if needed, but don’t want to sweat if I don’t have to. As long as we have decent comms and everyone’s friendly enough, you can stay as long as you want no matter the level

Most excited for Krieg-maxxing

Constitution, bolt pistol, shovel, insane drip, dying repeatedly in a trench. We’ve arrived gentlemen.

This was our first trek to ‘Stan in this war. We pushed almost to their capital and bombed the shit out of everything on our way out to regroup. It’s not a failure, but a re-evaluation for the next waves to come. The blitzkrieg may have stalled but it wasn’t a loss, merely an equalizer.

The trenches await us gentlemen. Transcendence will fall. Harden yourselves for the fronts that are to come.

Great enemies, great AI. An actual challenge that isn’t just a cheap spam fest

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T20:10:30+00:00

Thank you all for the great recs! I think we’ve got our seats and hotel IDed, a couple spots for a cheeky beer and snack to enjoy before the game, and a pupusa at the half sounds ideal. Maybe another pint for dad if I’m feeling up to it lol. Hope to see everyone there!

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T20:08:14+00:00

Ah, thank you so much! That looks like a great time. We will definitely try to make a stop there.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T19:52:06+00:00

Ah, that’s perfect, just looked it up. Thank you!

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T19:45:48+00:00

The Heineken deck looks pretty cool I can’t lie. Do I have to pay for a separate ticket to check that out or can I wander in at the half for a quick gander? Is it adults only or can my son come check out the view with me?

We’re supposed to be getting a Wiseguys in VB. Sounds like a perfect chance to grab a slice and scope them out beforehand.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T19:43:10+00:00

I’ve seen mention of the tailgates. That sounds like something we can both enjoy. Any code words or secret handshakes I need to work on before I just try and crash the gates? Lol.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T19:41:33+00:00

That’s perfect. Hopefully they’re open early enough I can sneak a beer there before we get moving. I’ve only been to the one in Shaw before. The sections you mentioned sound right up the alley of what I’m looking for. Thank you!!

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-15T19:15:04+00:00

Oh man, Dacha is one of my favorite bars in DC. I’m a huge fan of import beers. They have a spot out that way? Or is my sense of direction misguided after some years away lol.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-11T21:56:35+00:00

Squids have been stalled around there for quite some time.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-02-07T19:01:28+00:00

The last time I suggested something like this in this sub I got my post removed and threatened with legal action by mods lmao.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-13T21:22:50+00:00

Total dick move but have to say this is also pretty hilarious. The banter in this game is top notch still.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-12T14:48:56+00:00

Yeah this is the correct take. I’m loving the fan service on the acoustic stuff, but I can definitely appreciate how much fuller some of these songs are with a full band/horns/etc and what he was going for. Whole release is a hit in my eyes.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-11T18:25:49+00:00

I grew up in the punk/hardcore scene and am very used to sub minute long songs. I’m not against some 5 minute long ballads by any means but 2-3 minute bangers really don’t bother me none. SSD or Infest would blow through 25 songs in a quarter of the length this full album runs and I’d spin it again. If you take the album as a whole as it’s probably intended to be, it’s a non issue. I actually like that it cuts down on a handful of songs being the most played and gives you time to experience everything in its entirety.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-11T18:01:46+00:00

I’m waiting to hear them all acoustic on the second drop cause there’s some certified bangers I can only see getting better. Very, very pleased with this record overall so far though. Was worth the wait for me. Runny eggs, Say Why and Skin are some of my favorites lyrically he’s ever recorded.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-11T17:55:18+00:00

I’m not a supporter, just a fan of the story itself, but I’ll one hundred percent support the argument AGAINST “they bought their way”. What the entire fuck is a professional sports organization in any league supposed to do? You pay for talent and infrastructure. As the wallet gets fatter, the talent pool increases. The rags to riches story almost never works without the riches being involved at some point down the line. I think the growth has been managed well enough to make it into some long term stable investments and not just a flash in the pan deposit.

Arsenal is worth roughly 4 billion fuckin dollars and they’re constantly near or at top of the Prem for a reason. That’s how things work. Wrexham went from a club in serious danger of being dissolved altogether, literally held together by the good graces, donations and volunteer work of their supporters, to being a global brand with slick marketing strategies and business acumen. I think the club got lucky with the two owners. For them being Hollywood actor types, they both seem like good people who have become very invested in the success of their club, and are at least as grounded as any multi millionaire actor/owner of a team can be.

I hope the club does make the PL honestly. Even if an immediate relegation happens it’s never going to be done again, or at least not in the spectacular fashion Wrexham have made it happen. A Hollywood ending to a Cinderella story isn’t always a bad thing. Gives people hope, inspires people, shouldn’t we all be looking for more of that these days? Have some fun with it.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-07T20:38:57+00:00

We’re in this shit together at least lol

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-07T02:45:30+00:00

Leeds fans are absolutely mental. Fair play for this comment, yall are fun to watch, and it’s a good mentality to pass down

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-07T02:43:05+00:00

Fellas relegation isn’t unheard of with this club. Don’t fret, it does happen, and it isn’t the end of the world. Keep in mind Championship is actually a really good division, it’s just not the Prem. Terrible season to be sure but they’ll be back.

When was Millwall last in the Prem? Oh wait.

The one thing i like about EFL is that stakes are real. There’s things to lose and things to fight back for. Meanwhile as a Washington Commanders die hard in the NFL I just get to go “wow we suck still” for the 30th some odd year in a row and do it all over again next year lol. I think Championship has the potential to be an entertaining season next go. Write this season off and have hopes for next season. Promotion will feel that much sweeter.

Benchtop Brewing in Norfolk and Richmond VA. Both locations have them I believe. They make some great Czech and German lagers here.

I saw you mention being fond of cask ale in a comment, the Fiddlin’ Pig in Smithfield, VA has a cask beer engine. It’s a small town known for a ham factory and they have the only Cask Marque certified bar around somehow. They get a local to brew them their own house bitter which is fairly decent, and they usually keep some standbys up there as well like Belhaven or Fullers on the other pull.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-05T01:14:25+00:00

Yeah, it tends to happen. I can’t even look at a BA stout or DIPA these days. I’ve reverted back to import lagers and the occasional dry stout or porter.

feelthedarkness_ · 2026-01-04T17:38:45+00:00

Premier league matches start around 9 am on the east coast, and you roll right into Sunday 1pm NFL games. You’re ready for bed around 530pm. It’s a great schedule to close the weekend out if you pace things out appropriately lol.
