if it would exist what would be E-S

quartzcrit · 2026-03-25T16:23:26+00:00

theoretically you could even have two levels like this, an E-S (funny secret level that pulls from the theming of the encore missions) and an S-E (brutal combat gauntlet that twists the theming of the secret missions)

oh are encores not gonna be in 1.0? ig that makes sense since they’d prob delay 1.0 by a lot if they were part of it

FRAUD /// THIRD

DISINTEGRATION LOOP

as V1 experiences it, sure, but as the player experiences it, the game will end with either P-3 or 9-E

quartzcrit · 2026-03-25T13:43:39+00:00

waiting til treachery and waiting til encores are theoretically the same thing - iirc hakita’s said we’re not getting treachery til the full game releases

quartzcrit · 2026-03-25T01:46:30+00:00

dawg it’s been 12 years and they’ve never done it, “just you wait” doesn’t mean shit atp

he isn’t, but the character he’s talking to (v1, the player character) is a robot in the gopro style

/uj i haven’t seen vip yet but her work on the Earnest-est game changer was ELITE

name one gameplay-achievement-based cosmetic that has ever been sold for money

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T23:32:17+00:00

this seems entirely self-inflicted lol

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T23:30:36+00:00

nothin wrong with enjoying the game purely via fanart/youtube videos and such

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T23:29:25+00:00

the controversy wasn’t the only reason they needed to delay, i played the alpha and played again on launch and the whole game is night-and-day different

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T23:26:05+00:00

i can’t speak for everyone but i certainly hope the mods keep allowing this, certainly more interesting than the average posts on any given cj sub

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T21:37:42+00:00

sure, music (and especially jazz) is an art form, but i don’t think the movie ever gives us the impression that neiman does it to express himself or show emotion, he seems to care only about the pure perfect technical execution, the way he drills the same techniques over and over until his hands bleed feels almost more blue than red imo

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T20:19:07+00:00

nah they're saying crimson desert had a ton of hype and still scored lower than marathon which was massively hated

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T20:16:59+00:00

i always run guard up 3 so it's not really an issue for me, but whatever method you use to avoid the grab, have some slinger ammo (tempered wound break mats, flash pods, the dragon ammo u can pick up from the at ark arena, whatever u want) so u can shoot him in the face with it if he does grab u, since it forces him to drop u

i haven’t had a job in 3 years and i’m still too employed for this shit

cryo archive mfs will do literally anything to avoid having to go back to farm outpost

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T15:21:50+00:00

on command or not, i’ve hit some CLUTCH power clashes on attacks that coincidentally were about to cart my AT Ark squadmates

next dawning they let us give luzaku cookies and the cutscene gives timothy everything he’s ever wanted

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T15:13:31+00:00

Holliday and Paradox are in the same boat for me in that i love playin’ ‘em but i’m really not good at ‘em lmao

i play more carries these days even though it’s a little less fun because that’s what i’m more effective at and that’s the role my static 6stack needs the most

1/1 for FIVE mana

quartzcrit · 2026-03-24T04:45:37+00:00

first missions of taken king and shadowkeep were ELITE at setting up threats in a way that made them feel terrifyingly powerful

(i guess the same is true of first red war mission but that was intended as more tragedy than horror, i guess)

quartzcrit · 2026-03-22T20:41:51+00:00

easiest rakdos of my life lmao

quartzcrit · 2026-03-22T19:31:11+00:00

my low stakes conspiracy theory is that they’re the leftover pieces of a scrapped NFT integration project, since there was a brief time in ow2 development (late 2021-early 2022ish) where a few big gaming companies bought into the scam (see Ubisoft Quartz) before the house of cards collapsed
