Well that’s kind of my confusion - because CS:GO isn’t an “easy” game per se, but it’s still massively popular.

It’s hard for me to know why. I do think the skill floor (as opposed to skill ceiling) is a decent part of it - but I honestly think a lot of it is just developers who never knew how to adapt that kind of arena shooter into something that actually makes money.

The death of the multiplayer boomer shooter (or crack shooter, if you will) is a real shame. They just never really maintained a presence and I’m not sure why. The most recent one I can think of was Quake Legends, which I actually thought was really good! I think the monetary approach behind it was just off.

It’s funny, back then the assumption was that these ultra fast twitch games would be the whole future, and you’d kind of assume that’s what people would gravitate to, and now the most popular competitive FPS is CS:GO by a margin - a pretty slow burn tactical game lol

Genuinely cannot believe it was still illegal there.

I get that the Thai government is still on the whole conservative - but Thailand is almost most well known in many areas its rates of homosexuality, crossdressing, open prostitution, etc.

I mean, I haven’t tried it in any significant quality, it’s incredibly close to normal water at that concentration. Maybe a bit woody, really not sweet.

It’s also just unprocessed tree-water you get from a bucket and I’m not an expert on the health and safety of all that but yunno, to me it’s something I’d want at least boiled first.

Sap itself is essentially water. You probably… could just drink it alone but don’t. It’s weird and a little gross.

You basically just pour it all in a vat and boil it down. It boils down at a 40:1 ratio. 40 gallons of sap is about one gallon of syrup.

You just boil it until it reaches the correct sugar concentration, or until you’re pretty satisfied

I make syrup out of the tree(s) in my yard.

It’s true. It was such a weird year weather wise that I only got about 2 bottles of syrup. Normally I can get like… 8-10?

A lot of people don’t really know how sap production works, but it really is a pretty limited window

That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree (or some other kinds), go buy a $20 tap or whatever from Amazon. It’s fun and surprisingly piss easy to make syrup at home.

I grew up after them. I think they’re fine in certain circumstances. If the game is supposed to have free content updates for weeks and months and whatever else after launch then yeah sure, why not

Hey, why even have to buy dyes? The game should give them all to you for free. And supplies can be gathered, you should just get infinite supply packs too

It doesn’t. You can do it in game for free very easily. You really should not get all your opinions from YouTubers

You’re not supposed to actually know anything about the game here. This is purely a thread for circlejrrking based off of what YouTubers said

You can do both of those easily for in game money.

I am not stupid because I have a differing opinion about video games than you do. Touch grass.

No you aren’t. You just made it up. I have comments going back months

It “stinks”, but I don’t really care if the game is good without interacting with the MTX at all. I just don’t

No I didn’t? I’ve had this account for months. I’m even a donor

Not only are you conspiratorial - you’re just wrong.

It’s the most bizarre and almost worrying thing now how much video games have transitioned into this “game of the month” thing - where seemingly everyone with a computer all goes and buys the same game each month because it got hyped up by the twitch steamers they watch or whatever.

Just strange. “Are you playing Lethal Company? Everyone’s playing it. Oh, you wanna play Lethal Conpany? Everyone’s playing Palworld now. Oh shit man, we’re not playing that anymore, Dragons Dogma 2 is out”

I get what they mean. A lot of the MTX seems to be items that you genuinely would find very readily in the game. Paying simply gives you a type of “very easy” mode if you’re for some reason inclined.

It’s a…. Strange decision, as it makes the game look bad. But by all accounts it doesn’t really impact the gameplay of the game. It’s just like giving you the option buy Phoenix Downs in Final Fantasy with real money. You… can. You really don’t need to, 98% of players won’t.

It’s goofy more than anything. I guess I’d rather have it rather than day 1 expansion packs like Mass Effect had.
