Something cool happened after defeating Chaos as Dwarves

We (read: mostly I) dealt with Chaos as Ordertide in like 30 turns on VH/VH and after that I was left with the Long Victory objectives, which ask you to finish 3 grudges for Dwarves. At this point it would require me to declare war against my allies as I finished 1 by that point, and I was thinking on how to proceed with the end game.

Then, the game triggered Chorf crisis with just one city and asked me to raze it to finish the campaign, which I did, to wrap up this one.

I found this great as I really did not want to play any longer after beating Chaos and idk if this is intentional or not but the Chorf prompt saved me a lot of time and trouble

If I off myself for listening to the fucking Top Gun tune one more time, is Paramount or EA responsible? Legally speaking of course

just contemplating

I'm having so much fun with TWW3, bros

  • First Total War, even though I was a RTS guy when I was growing up. Never had a thing for maps I guess apart from CIV5.
  • First fantasy Warhammer game

tried it in 2024 but (a) had a shitty PC and (b) was not in the right mindset I guess

I'm doing my third campaign with Tomb Kings and I'm having a GODDAMN blast lol this is a lovely game

Thobe for, well , everything?

Hi all!

I'll be in Riyadh for a business trip for a week and I was wondering whether I can just get a thobe and wear it every non-business setting? Everything from evening walks to coffee stops, malls to fancy-ish dinners?

It looks so comfortable ahahah

Thank you!! :)

Afterimage is like 3-5$ right now, depending on your system and region, which is a 80-90% sale

Just wanted to let you fellers know as it was on my Xbox wishlist, which came down to 4$ from 30$ (give or take, I exchanged the currency)

looks like a decent Igavania

Quick timeline of post-F4 Bethesda for you to refresh your memory

Here's a brief recap of Bethesda's post-2014 history.

  1. Bethesda releases 4 fully fleshed out (one is Oblivion but alas) games in a span of 6 years, 2 Fallouts and 2 TES
  2. Todd gets uppity and focuses on his dream project
  3. While these two behemoth IPs are handed to B-teams to get milked
    1. One of those, F76, was ridiculed to high heavens and back. Even though it is somewhat respected now (now, as in, in the annals of history as the game is in horrible shape since Ohio update) it was a huge blow to the IP.
    2. The other, TESO, never became a household name.
  4. Bethesda does not release a single major game in 9 years
  5. Bethesda releases Skyrim and Fallout 4 3-4 times each during that time.
  6. Bethesda reveals TES VI too early.
  7. Bethesda's next game, Starfield is mid.
    1. Right now F4 has double its player count, NV has the same amount, Skyrim 8x.
  8. Fallout TV show is a huge hit. Bethesda does not release a new Fallout title nor a late-DLC, like most in the space are doing now, to bank on this success.
    1. F4 Anniversary update is released as a buggy mess.
    2. They add Fallout skins to CoD and Fortnite.
  9. As stated above, 76 is headed to sunset mode and is shedding players, the only active Fallout title mind you.
  10. TESO latest update is a content reshuffle.
  11. Starfield PS5 sold less than Outer Worlds 2 (link)

They had this coming their way. Sorry folks, mismanagement of this scale would never been allowed anywhere else.

I want to talk about BF6 maps but everything that needs to be said is already said like 103204 times

Baffles the mind that 90% of the launch maps are either construction sites, meatgrinders, or colorless drabs

apart from Cairo and Iberian (and I believe the latter is not universally praised) I genuinely do not think there any serviceable launch maps, and I'm not really sold on half the post launch maps

I also do not believe Firestorm and Golmud were the best maps to import from earlier titles

I played all BF games on launch, apart from 2042 and 6 (started 6 2 months ago and played 2042 by Season 5 I believe, Spearhead season) and this is EASILY the worst launch map gallery we ever had, if "2042 had too much space" thing was an exaggeration

BF6 campaign is surprisingly bad

After shelling 100h on MP I thought hey, why not check out the Campaign for some skins and wow, its writing and worldbuilding is pretty bland. I can honestly understand building the game around vibes and MP, so its OK to have a shooting gallery-like Campaign I guess but wow is the worldbuilding lackluster.

I was expecting a bit of nuance with PAX-NATO dichotomy but Pax is like an unredeemable bad guy gallery? Dialogue is also horrible, game explains what little lore it has with out of place dialogue between characters etc etc. It also is very high on US-propaganda kool aid and I normally don't say stuff like this.

idk man I think NATO falling apart and Wagner-like fellers filling the gap in developing world was a really cool set up but the execution is really awful

back to MP I guess :)

[COD] Which CoD game for a LGBT+ buddy (homosexual male)?

Hi folks!

My buddy, who is a homosexual male, wants to hop back into shooters and is interested in CoD and asked me for my opinion. Knowing how he values supporting products and organisations that support his identity, I wanted to recommend a game that does just that!

so, the question is, which one is the gayest CoD game?

this can include homosexual leads, settings, characters etc - so I am guessing it is not WaW ahah. Also, hopefully one of the active ones, so not like AW and Ghost!

Fun fact: "Orospina", in Turkish, is like "Whorette/Bitchotto" in English

"Orospu" is a quite vulgar way to refer to the ladies of the night (you could get stabbed if you call someone a son of an orospu) so the name Orospina makes me giggle whenever the game engages with her

How much do top AMS Cafes make per month? (discussion and info/insight welcome)

I live close-ish to Cafe Hesp, and I'd say it is one of my favorite places in the city as its just super cozy and their limited albeit decent menu is quite tasty (they serve some mean fried chicken and huge-ass oysters)

in summer days they probably serve like 1000 people a day, 400 during colder days, but they also employ like at least 20 people a day I reckon during summer.

normally I kinda can get a sense of how much some places make across the globe but I just cant with top AMS cafes like Cafe Hesp. Think of the ones that are always full on weekends disregarding the weather and every day during summer.

I'd not be surprised if you told me either: my buddy owns/works in such a place and the owner(s) earn, after taxes and expenses, 7k/20k a month.

so, friends with HORECA experience, just how much to these top cafes make?

Turk here, you guys are pretty OK

I've been singing praises for the USMNT for some years now, 4 at least, and my points have been proven right

you guys adapt well and play decent football (wont say soccer sorry) - loved the post game interviews by the head honcho, doing what ours couldnt, especially when it comes to playing with 2 strikers

I do think you have a decent shot at semis, and I will be supporting you guys, its cool to see football (see above) taking root in US (36m viewers?? insane huh) and with Japan you guys are my favorite teams atm, its fun to watch USMNT

I feel like Bethesda is dragging the vibes down at this point with their inactivity

Every single event/show they refuse to reveal or talk about things people want yet nevertheless frustration/expectation builds up time after time, casting a shadow on titles that come after their mandatory FO76 and ESO trailers, and now the Doom stuff

a decent chunk of MS gamers are talking about this as opposed to what came after their section and to be honest as someone who wants to know more about F3R and TES6 I too don't remember much about the second half of the show

they should either give them their own space or just have them release a fucking teaser to wrap up this doomer cycle

What was RE fans' reactions to this game?

I'm playing it now and its pretty fine, although of course is a clear homage to RE4.

My understanding is TEW1-2 got released before REmakes and such so it must have felt like a nice blast from the past huh, at least thats how most God of War homages (Dante, Castlevania) felt like to me back in the day as an OG-GoW enjoyer

I'm 90% done with 1 and will play 2 before summer ends, I'm enjoying its vibes

Playing BF Conquest for like 16 years at this point and this is the first time I will most probably switch to a different game mode - Escalation is amazing!

Was never a Rush guy as I don't like it when modes allow for actions that cannot be undone, not saying its bad design but yeah was never a S&D nor Rush guy, so I always stuck with TDM/DOM for non-BF games and CNQ for BF but after seeing all the rage about Escalation on this sub I decided to give it a go and holy moly

its just really, really well done!!

I do not know if I can (nor whether should I) go back to CNQ, its just the better game mode I think and people revive/do objectives/repair etc way more in my experience, most probably due to the fact that mode communicates sense of urgency very well and its probably played by more immersed veterans
