I am actually surprised they added Steve before Master Chief. But if I’m being honest...

I was hoping for Kenobi. Why is Steve here?

On a scale of 1-10 what level of simping is playing Fire Emblem to be able to talk to a girl about it. And what level of simping is it to have a fire emblem waifu. Especially if it's a guy.

I mean maybe like a 2 or 3 ig? Watching or playing something because you want to interact with others who enjoy it is not that uncommon.

Recently started playing Red Dead Online and I have to say I'm quite enjoying it. Most of the players I encountered so far were pretty friendly and some of the missions can be fun.

That's probably a bad sign for the long run. The best MMO's I ever played were the ones where the game it self was boring.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Are there any good mods for XCOM 2 WOTC that change up the campaign? The game is fun and all but I've played the campaign for long enough that it's gotten dull. So I am looking for something to bring back the novelty.
And NO, I am NOT looking for something to make the game harder. That's not the point. The game is plenty hard enough on easy as is. Also I am not looking for something that just adds a bunch of cosmetic items to your crew. I already play with almost ALL of the cosmetic mods loaded.

I am looking for something to reinvigorate the novelty. You know, like say the My Little Pony mod for HOI4 or the Fall From Heaven mod for Civilization 4. Something that just takes the game and does something different. It does not have to be that drastic but like, I just feel bored from playing the same campaign over and over again and want to relive the fun of the game once more. So like new missions, new maps or hell just new monsters.

Thinking about it. What I'd love to find is a way to make WOTC spawn way more advent troopers and way less of the various aliens.

Oh yeah, I remember the Antlions. You go from hating them to thinking they’re the best things ever.

Then you have to fight them again in Episode 2, but at least they give you those turrets you can just hold in front of you.

Fun Among Us story. So Red got me ejected because I was nearby when they got locked in security and I stood by the door(I thought someone was going to kill them and wanted to see if I could catch the imp) I explained that and pointed out if I was the imp I would have no reason to put a barrier between us but they pulled the "if its not them vote me" card and I was the ejected.

Well I was not the imp and that coward left the game instead of taking the ejection. If your going to pull that card and your wrong, take the ejection for fucks sake.

I tried this Genshin Impact game everyone is freaking out over. It's just some bog standard hack and slash with a waifu collection gimmick. What a waste of an hour.

I always wondered how that game became popular... I guess the power of anime waifus are hard to resist.

6-9 depending on the waifu.


The game itself is alright I guess. It's got a very breath of the wild exploration with climbing and gliding.
The combat itself is pretty good. Hack and slash with an elemental system. Different elements interact with each other for various effects and damage
4 characters in your party, each having their own class and element that you can instaswitch between for neat combos

Then there's the gatcha system to get the waifus, which is pretty much your bog standard gatcha before it's had enough time to build up all those weird and complex minigames for gaining currency that most gatcha's I've played tend to have.
Obviously that's where the money maker is, which is why its free to play.

The gatcha currency itself can be made in a few non paying ways. Gained from quests, exploration, and achievements. Also cause its new they're handing out a big bunch every day.

Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. Fun enough to keep me entertained for an hour or two, but not enough to get me invested in the grind.
