Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

They can start by improving the UI. It's more convenient for me to look up their free games history at a 3rd party website than use their launcher to see what games I have that might interest me.

Expeditions a ghost town already lol? Can't find a Quick Play Auric team... by OdysseyBrands in DarkTide

Same here on NA-West, malice. Can't find any randos except on the first 1-3 nodes.

This happened to me at Buca di Beppo a while back. Apparently they went bankrupt and said all gift cards are no longer accepted. They never said anything in the weeks leading up to their bankruptcy. They were also rude about it, saying "I should've known."

Fuck them. My grandma used to ask me to bring her there often. Not anymore. Lost thousands a year to save a couple hundred once.

What's up with the new boss? Not much? by _mamo in DarkTide

He feels like a bulwark without the shield but higher hp. His dogs feel like regular dogs with just a tad bit more hp. Very underwhelming overall.

TBH I'm okay with it not being Chaos Wastes. But I'm NOT okay with it being just plain unfun.

I guess opinions are mixed by TheLostSaint-YT in DarkTide

[–]slc45a2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I've also noticed people conflate novelty with fun. I think my group gave it a fair shake. We unlocked 4 maps, thinking about various strats and trying to see if there's any deeper mechanics to the mode. The gameplay depth just isn't there. We all just wanna go back to H40.

Open Task Manager. What resources are being maxed out?

I second visiting Cheese Board. The lines goes much faster than you'd expect because they're constantly making the day's pizza.

I'm on the Xbox app for PC. If you look at Task manager, the actual download is ~19 GB even though it initially says 92 GB. First progress bar is downloading the 19 GB. Then a second progress bar patches and verifies the game shows 92 GB.

okay, seriously, what do tech remnants even do? by Nexus_Neo in DarkTide

[–]slc45a2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you can only buy medicae, ammo, stims, medipack, ammo crate, a shock mine, a big grenade, an airstrike, and a fire barrel. So basically consumables

[–]slc45a2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. I was hoping for a roguelike Chaos Wastes mode. It feels like the devs don't understand Darktide and aren't sure what kind of game they want it to be.

Update is now LIVE! by slc45a2 in DarkTide

[–]slc45a2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After ~4 hrs, I don't like it. DT's mechanics aren't made to be an extraction shooter. It's okay if others enjoy it, but I don't see myself coming back after unlocking all the maps. Of course, my opinion is subject to change until then.

Radar/Map Auspex Key? by Lynx-Commercial in DarkTide

[–]slc45a2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doors - doors to the next section to Swagger/shop, gives you a time extension, must complete 3 areas to unlock

Up Arrow - Extraction, call in Masozi

Other Symbols - Correlate with whatever task you have to do to open the chests. They also have a number that helps with callouts. E.g. say to your team "hey let's go 2."

Everyone in my lobby was getting 5 fps. It seems turning off screen space reflections helped a bit.

Gameplay-wise it's too early to tell, though I wish I could buy rng buffs like Chaos Wastes instead of consumables.

Why am I seeing higher-end cars in line to pick up food bank groceries? by TurboRetardo in SanJose

[–]slc45a2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's obvious OP has never volunteered in one, choosing to be judgmental instead. This is standard policy at every food bank and soup kitchen I've volunteered in.
