Crazy idea, we go back to using checks.

As opposed to Hunt where the objective is the bounty and competing for it instead of "survival" as a win by extracting meaning teamwork could be equal to killing or avoiding other players.

The chance/opportunity for emergent gameplay is also incredible but I think a lot of games, like Tarkov and now Marathon, suffer from being too close to a TDM making it harder for the average person to have positive(non-death) interactions or team ups. Which I find more interesting.

Don't let yourself be intimidated by not being "prepared enough" either! Don't let yourself get trapped in learning or theory or preparation! You will never be perfectly ready but if you start you will learn what you need to do as you go!

Literally. Just start. The smallest step is still a step and every step counts. It means something. It moves you forward!

And I don't want this to sound like bragging, just my position, but I've played thousands of hours of extraction shooters already. As a demo the server slam didn't make me feel like I want to spend on the game.

I don't want to sound overly negative or dissuade anyone from playing it themselves. It isn't enough to justify buying for me. One PVPVE mode in 2026, snore. Gameplay is similar to everything else I've played. If all the story is in the codex/media then why play? I'll just get that externally.

I basically completely skipped the early access for Midnight because I just didn't feel like logging in. Started leveling last night and really forcing myself to do it. Hopefully I'll hit my stride before raid starts or this season is gonna be rough.

You know, with how popular the invisible nose is I'd believe it. I'd love to see more prominent noses in anime, I think they're underrated.

You think it's because people see like stage 1 furry, with just the ears and/or tail, and are so normie they think it's WAY out there? So they have to be like "here me out" because their reference point is SO "normal"?

Not bad, not great. Love the visual concepts and design. Not enough innovation from other stuff I've already played to hook me though. And the visual quality in game felt like everything was made of playground plastic. Felt very mismatched from the menus and concepts.

You've got to admit she *is* talented.

Getting some great vibes from this one.

Kinda like a Castlevania "What if?" set in a sci-fi/gothic/cyber-punk setting? Definitely one I'll keep my eyes on.

I fully believe if more men did this for each other the world would be a better place.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is something I use to remind myself of this kind of thing a lot. Speed also comes with mastery. You need to start slow and then you get faster over time.

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Am I doing something wrong? No it must be the world who is working against me!

I'm losing my mind at people who do this but for gameplay of a video game they're playing and the whole video is in-game footage but they use a AI-gen thumbnail instead of just using a screenshot and some editing. It's insane!
