I just wanted to come here to lament the loss of all the fun "bonus" banter from the end of Rock Spectacle as it appears on streaming services.
What did we do to lose the banter?
I play mostly non cross-platform on PS5, and it feels like over the last two or three days I just can't find lobbies.
I was never a huge social player, but I'd love to get into some more team playing on Arc without aggro PVP and having to watch my back like a total hawk.

I like horror movies and music and am a pretty big friendly libtard, if conversation matters!
Lets be raid pals?
So, I am fairly new to extreme horror literature, and I was brought to DND via Harbinger of Vengeance (which I loved).
After starting this (audio)book, I absolutely didn't think i would finish it. It seemed clunky and too on the nose with the clowns, their names, the tropes. But the violence kept me interested.
Man, did this book end up being really, really endearing... or as endearing as a book about homicidal clowns can be.
I found myself really not invested in the characters, their relationships or anything about them really. The descriptions of the violence was really just "here it is!" Which I guess made me feel like I should be expecting something different?
But honestly, once the storylines converged and it became a survival/vengeance/standoff it got more... investable? Hahaha not a word but you get the idea.
I absolutely found myself pulling for Gabe more than anyone, and somehow the to-the-point descriptions of the violence just seemed to fit. I had a hard time putting it down (pausing lol)
I haven't finished yet, I'm a chapter away but definitely plan on more of Jon Athan's books! Is it worth making it a point to continue the DND series right away?
I've been having some pretty good times in no-crossplay carebear lobbies. Usually the most frustrating thing to happen is me doing something dumb to me. An occasional PVP style player which mixes it up enough too.
So, anyway... I used a proximity mine(...s) to guard a key room I was looting and it has apparently sent me into fucking rat H E L L L L L L L L.
Three rattings. One was a betrayal on levels I have never before seen. The other two on extract. At the computer? In a row. On top of one another. I can't even be mad, just a hard A F reminder that it is for sure a play style for some people and I have been lucky to get mostly chill/cautious-but-not-aggressive players.
Tonight it was people in hotel windows shouting at me about rats using Raider voice 10 while an array of flairs screeches off nearby.
I DID finally get my Wolfpack blueprint tho, so thats cool. Blessings be to the rat-proof Survivor kit 🙏🙏
