First blind playthrough of Red dead Redemption 2

I just finished Chapter 1, and first of all, holy mother of peak. You are so breathtaking to look at, feels so immersive to be in, and the amount of detail put in every littlest thing is astonishing, this game deserves more recognition than it recieved.

At first, i was skeptical on whether i should start playing red dead, because i heard everywhere that the snowy part was so boring, but that wasn't the case for me. I already fell in love with the combat in this game (despite failing to stealth kill the guys at the train section as i do not know how) and Arthur looks handsome as hell.

I love the foliage, probably one of my favourite things to look at during exploration. The voice acting feels so raw, i love it. And there's Cinematic mode during missions and stuffs? i seriously love it, makes everything 10x more immersive. i have no comment on the music yet because somehow its not playing during free roam.

This is probably my first ever game that im going in completely blind. no spoilers of the ending, plot twists, or anything of the sort.

I'd like to end this post with a few questions. Well only one question and that is, what are gameplay tips that you wished you knew when you first started? I'd like to know some because i sure as hell don't know a single thing about anything.

StarCraft 1 or Starcraft 2?

hello, I'd like to ask this as im very lost on where to start. Warcraft 3 has been a part of me since basically 5 years old. Im now 20, and despite hearing about starcraft (the game title and the pro player flash) over the years, I didn't really took the initiative to try the game out until now.

My #1 favourite thing about warcraft is the story, the characters, soundtracks, and voice acting. I heard that the game is one of the best RTS of all time, and that it has one of the best sci-fi story of all time. Big fan of sci-fi and the cyberpunk genre, so i think I'll like this one 100%.

However, I don't know whether i should hop on starcraft 1 (classic, cuz i don't have any spending-money-for-games kind of money) or starcraft 2 first. I already got spoiled but only one and it's the betrayal of kerrigan or whoever that is, but I don't mind as i enjoy the story despite being spoiled once (not too much though if i get spoiled by alot of the story)

Im mainly looking for which one has some great storytelling, plot points, voice acting, characters, music, maps, and overall fun factor about the campaigns and custom games (playing against people or against AI, but probably the latter because i have never played against people before even in WC3)

The grueling journey is over—I've reached Master of all Level 9

share ko nalang din dito hahaha. this is mostly solo queue , like around 70% of my matches, and i reached 66 stars (stars wasn't a priority, ung achievements lang tlga habol ko each match) and during this, naabot ko na rin level 8 exp as of typing, malapit na rin mag level 7 ang slayer and guardian role ko.

i curse those roamers na pinipilit mag helcurt or damage roam even though puro damage dealers na mga kakampi, so sometimes pinipilit ko minotaur/lolita sa exp (kesa belerick na lagi ban, or hylos) since alam ko panalo if i picked either one of them (which we did btw, like four times) and im glad mga nagiging katapat ko sa exp di finifreeze ang lane just because minotaur/lolita ako

minsan napilit ko rin uranus, belerick, or johnson core dahil panay mvp-gold lose streak na ako (which we ultimately won in a dominating fashion)

and im also thankful sa mga roam players na nakikipagswitch (roam main ako since birth) saken when im spamming my best sidekicks sa mga roam heroes ko 😂 if di sila nakipag switch, i feel like master of all level 7 palang ako right now.

Diko na alam gagawin after this, i've practically done almost everything, well besides going for global badge in a hero, but I'll probably do that next season.

The grueling journey is over—I have reached Master of all Level 9

[Sea server] The winrate isn't pretty, and the graph certainly isn't something to boast about, but man was this a painful road i forced myself to walk on. Reached 66 Total stars (grinding stars wasn't my priority, just the style achievements), got paired with angela users who only possesses their 7/8/3 duo, players throwing the game because they weren't able to switch into s4-s5, top global players, and the absolute lowest of the low players who builds chastise pauldron on hanabi as their first item.

It wasn't fun, really it wasn't. During this journey, i managed to almost reach Titan level 8, Slayer level 7, and Guardian level 7. I will forever be thankful to those roam users who swapped roles with me, they're my silent heroes during this torture (i NEVER get the roam role via flex)

I forced lolita/minotaur on exp when we don't have a proper front liner or when the enemy is directly and significantly weak when i use either one of them (which we won, all four games i think)

used belerick and johnson as jungler when i was on a massive mvp-gold lose streak (which, surprisingly, we won those three games in dominating fashion)

The only thing left for me to do is to attempt at reaching global badge with one hero, but that'll probably be for another time

Reached Master of All level 8, but...

[nitpick , i think] I reached it, i reached it and im incredibly pissed at this system. As you guys know, im a roam main, i like being at the front, initiating fights, zoning & giving vision for my teammates. I thought to myself "i keep on playing roam the past few seasons, i should try going for level 9 in master of all" which, i mean im close yeah, but here's the thing.

I have NOT gotten the roam, mid, or gold role since i started going for this. I saw everywhere that they get roam 80-90% of the time so i thought that'll be the case with me (it wasn't). I get placed in the jungle or exp role, two roles that i find so boring. Don't get me wrong, i can play them and all other roles perfectly well, just that i was expecting to actually be placed on other roles too, and not the same exact roles I've been having a hard time finding the joy in. (i still dominate games regardless but its not as fun as losing as roam)

Learning spanish as a 20 y/o filipino during the summer

Hello, its just as the title says. I want to learn spanish. I've been meaning to for the past few years but right now, i want to actually try and learn how to fluently speak spanish.

​

I always wanted to learn spanish because i find it attractive, and i think its the "easiest" language i could learn considering our history.

​

I don't know how "easy" easy its gonna be. I'm basically free for like 7 straight weeks so i want to use this time to learn, problem is i don't know where to start. I don't know how effective Duolingo is or if there's any other app/website that can help with learning the language, so any help is appreciated.

My first 4 days in GTA V...

FIRST PLAYTHROUGH [NO SPOILERS, just sharing my experience & thoughts as i go]

So i decided to just hop on online only for daily login at the casino, and also thought that i should pause my grind there and actually play story mode as i have no idea what the story's about, who the characters are, and all that stuffs. and i gotta say, I should've played story mode first instead of dumping 70 hours in online. Im very unaware with how GTA V was gonna play out when i first started, so these heists & hacking all feel new and at the same time old to me. but still, im having fun with story mode so far.

Franklin might be my favourite character among the three, probably because he feels like CJ to me, feel bad for michael because of how he's getting treated by his family. His son acts like a douche bag friend you can't get rid of, her daughter aspires to be used by the industry, and her wife still had the nerve to ask michael for another tennis coach. how michael puts up with them I don't know but hey props to him.

trevor, I don't know, he's so chaotic and unpredictable. His character introduction was insane, i was expecting him to be more of a hobo but didn't expect him to have a business, well its a meth business but still a business nonetheless. i might be wrong on this but i feel like with how protective he was of michael's daughter makes me think that he's one of those tragic characters. like he wants to be loved and be surrounded by supportive people, but doesn't know how to properly communicate. and he tends to act out if things doesn't go his way, i might be wrong though

at first i thought I'd have a hard time because i have to control and switch between three characters, but it doesn't feel so bad. my one gripe is that unlike online, I can't summon cars dilly dally and can't own multiple ones which kinda bums me out but can't do anything about it.

One question though. Is the story just one big quest or is there side quests besides these "strangers & freaks"? cuz i feel like im moving way too fast, im already at the quest where i think its the famous "daveeeey" meme

First 3 days in GTA V...

I got busy with my exam yesterday, couldn't play at all. Next week i probably couldn't as well. But today, i managed to play for like 18 hours (save me). Me and my friend (lets call her bang) just spent the next 7 hours figuring out how to play the diamond casino heist.

We picked the pest control disguise i forgot what its called, and we took like 2 hours before we switched to gruppe sechs (We couldn't get past the guards after we went down agatha's office). But after we switched, we did it in one try without deaths. Potential payout was 2.1m i think, but we only got 1.12m, its only 2 of us so that's probably why, but i was kind of bummed but hey that was fun (not really).

....so i spent the money just customizing my sentinel XS. i also found out there were toyota cars? i was hyped, no money though, as i bought the employee upgrade on the bunker, and I'll grind a bit for the equipment upgrade of the bunker. I also tried to do some community missions as i heard they were on 4x rn, that was so much of a pain that i thought it was, mainly the juggernightmare. WE were having such a hard time flying the buzzard, or any aerial vehicle at all, so we were pissed but after more than 10 tries, we finished it.

I also found out there was the modern honda civic and the non hatchback civic, but couldn't find it anywhere on the car shops but only on ls car meet, so i was bummed heavily. we also discovered stunt races, so the kid inside us were so happy because we got to play those races from jelly and smii7y haha.

i still don't have a proper passive income business or an accurate way to grind money as im still all over the place, but im trying my hardest! still in need of dire help though, as you can see 💔, but im still having fun!

My first 48 hours in GTA V...

I reached RP 37, I don't know if that's massive but hey i made progress! I spent the entire day just laundering money, hopping onto a private session after getting the stockade mission, and customizing cars. Im telling you, the moment i saw that there's a nissan skyline here, i locked in for 2-3 hours customizing the hell out of that haha.

I haven't even touched my bunker or any other missions, i just roamed around with my newly modified Sentinel XS and the Elgy custom. One thing though is that even with all of this, i still feel like im doing EVERYTHING wrong. So any and all tips about making money outside of money laundering is appreciated (i hope you dumb it down for me)

I also have no idea which cars are compatible for HSW, and which ones are actually worth my buck. But for now, since i heard that the 4x money & RP of money laundering is gonna disappear this thursday, I don't know where else to consistently grind hundreds of thousands of money. And one of my biggest grips is always feeling lost and overwhelmed with content that i don't know which ones are actually good for me to do

My first 24 hours of GTA V...

Man It's so fun. Wow. Well, most probably because i only played with two of my friends who warned me about public sessions (I understand) but wow, its so breathtakingly fun. Im always a sucker for character customizations, cars, engine roars, and of course, muscle cars. And seeing as how i was able to accurately hit headshots to npcs made me feel good (probably isn't even that impressive but still).

I sat there last night, and i literally just hopped off now, so i played the game for 24 hours straight. i had SUCH a blast. i haven't even touched the story mode for some reason but im gonna save that for later. My only gripe is that the gunrunner career feels such a drag. Im probably at fault for not really researching about careers but man in my 24 hours of play time, i didn't felt so broke for one entire day. its insane how consistently broke i am, meanwhile my friends get like hundreds of thousands of bucks easily in an hour.

I don't really want to restart because i made some pretty cool and cute cars, and i want to stick with this one. So I'd like to ask how can i make more money from the gunrunner business. And also where i can "farm" money (?), which cars to save for, which "contact mission" is which and is worth doing, and what to consistently work for, and also how to acquire more businesses because even tho im consistently broke, im still having alot of fun, would have way more fun if im not always broke tho lmao.

u/iamproudintrovert — 3 months ago

what does this say about me?

clarification on me hating neon on my team: just my teammates. it's either they steal my neon and literally not neon their way the entire match, or they pick neon and literally not neon their way the entire match

u/iamproudintrovert — 3 months ago

20m, specifically joined to share this haha

I grew up in a traditional household barely having access to games or internet, so minecraft and warcraft was a godsend. both helped with continuously burning my passion for gaming over the years till i eventually was able to buy and play games i truly want.

granted, i play in a net café as my family still holds views against games and online entertainment in general haha so forgive me if it feels like im repeating myself

Hello. i was wondering if we ever get an idea of what the entire world is past the continent, or rather, past the northern realms and other kingdoms as we know. Like im so curious, so many things have happened and its only like a small part of what i assume is a big planet. Like are there different lands, with different cultures , and different types of people past the world as we know, or is it just one big empty land filled with monsters from the conjunction?
