[Gunner-Chan]

My laptop still kinda has the new compy smell. Even if I got it around november last year.

Though I've already almost filled it's hard drives. Rip.

[Tawa]

Ah, welcome back, Gunner.

Wait, filled hard drives with what?

[GiglameshDespair]

Are you sure you want to know?

Games, pdfs of books and rpgs, big galleries of cute pictures from safebooru, downloaded exhentai manga. You know average stuff.

post-edit re: trust issues

That's actually a big part of why I'm enjoying Rust. Even the KoS tends to get personal because most people can't aim well enough to headshot reliably at range, so things tend to turn into brawls. That, and the easy voice chat. Just had a moment today where some guy got to an airdrop before me by about fifteen seconds and ran off. I spotted him hiding in some bushes (and thought he was unarmed but decided to be nice), friend-jumped, then started mining a rock. He kept watching me and didn't notice the bear running up behind him. I grabbed all the loot off his body (including a SAR with something like 100 rounds for it), watched him get mauled by the bear again, shot it, and ran for the hills while he yelled at me from his bleedout.

If that was DayZ or some shit the process would have been something like: He runs in, gets sniped from 1km out by a full geared bushwookie -> I run in dodging fire and eventually get sniped from 1km out by the same asshole -> nobody interacts at all.

That sort of thing usually happens on Ark, I've found. It's just that if the other guy catches you by surprise or they find you unconscious somewhere the odds of survival are significantly reduced.

Yeah--oh, and one thing that both have in common is the persistent crafting knowledge (unless the Rust server you play on wipes BPs every week too), since it means that even a total loss of literally everything material doesn't put you back to pure fresh-spawn status.

[EnigmaticHat]

I'm convinced Dayz is nothing more than an excuse to have an FPS where people with guns shoot at people who don't have guns.

[Egan_BW]

... I'm sure someone could make a fun indie gimmick-game from that concept.
More fun than Daisy anyway.

[Gunner-Chan]

Day Z was more fun back when there was no such thing as an unarmed and weak player. The revolvers meant spawn-camping was dangerous.

[TheBiggerFish]

...I'm still happy Gunner-Chan is back.
(yes, I know, they're literally the poster above me, but ambiguous references kill cavalry units)

[Amperzand]

Lots of things kill cavalry units. Cavalry is pathetically useless against weapons more recent than 1920.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I dunno. Have you ever had a horse charge at you? It's very distressing.

[Orange Wizard]

Well yeah, but horses don't fare to well against cannon batteries.

[KingofstarrySkies]

You try hitting a horse with a fekking cannon. Thing is gonna move, especially with some Knight asshole on the back. What is he doing? It's the 21st century, you pothead! Get off that horse and get a JOB already!
