brad has been playing lots, and lots and brad means *lots* of DOOM.

other than that there's been hints that brad might be employed soon... who knows

by brad; 1724715506; Report

hints... Sorry to hear that man. Hope that you're in a good position to stay on your feet regardless. Are you doing doom WADs or speedrunning or modern doom or whatever else?

by Fawkes; 1724715708; Report

there's this channel which i've been using to gather wad recommendations weekly, except i've been only playing the ones that look somewhat well suited for the gameplay that Hideous Destructor can offer.

Right now i've been playing a 32map gimmick megawad in which each map is limited to 1024x1024 units of space, it's been good but i've had to skip a few on the count of the extremely harsh starting positions. Today i spent eight hours playing just one level making slow progress due to the way weight encumbrance works in HD, lugging around a backpack full of rocket grenades amongst a field of gibbed corpses changes a man

That is truly nutso. It must be satisfying every time you do finally drag yourself through a level?

by Fawkes; 1724716646; Report

Not every level is a drag, it sort of depends on what you come prepared with and in terms of speedrunning, HD can offer very unique ways of completing levels on par with vanilla DOOM and provides things like jetpacks to fly across a level or using explosive weapons to destroy a wall and make a shortcut

by brad; 1724717244; Report

but yes it is *extremely* satisfying learning the mechanics, improvising and making plans, setting traps, managing health, beating levels etc etc

by brad; 1724717555; Report

ok so you know how there's a skill floor and skill ceiling to every game? its like that but styling as hard as possible on your opponent, its an end goal for once you've gotten really good at a game that you stop caring about winning or losing and start going for sick ass shit ie: fuck it we ball

by brad; 1717363808; Report

neat concept. When I try to get really good at games, I usually get really concerned with playing optimally, so I'm always surprised by the neat fuckery I see other people get up to. What are your flexing games?

by Fawkes; 1719350643; Report

Sadly, Titanfall 2 is the only game i've dumped over 750 hours into exclusively the multiplayer, not only that but i'd say about 98% of that on just one gun. lol, lmao.

i'd *like* to be better at Team Fortress 2, but with how Casual is right now and community servers housing players leagues better than me, i'd doubt i'd get anywhere with how i play pyro.

Arena shooters like Quake Champions and Open Fortress would've also been on the list had i actually bothered to play, i've got the weapon binds set up how i want it but matches are so far and few between i could hardly call myself "good" at either of them, sometimes i pop off. Last but not least would be Hideous Destructor, lord knows how much i've evangelized over this mod, with there being deathmatch and ctf functionality, i'm sure it could be great for showing off.

What about you?

by brad; 1719356642; Report

Hard to say, since I mostly play games optimally and don't spend much time practicing flashy stuff. I'd say that my ability to perform crossbow tech + use the vaccinator well + uber track + backseat drive a push as medic is the most skillful thing I can do in a game, but it's the kind of thing that doesn't leave much of an impression.

I am known among my friends to be good at video game movement in general, but I'm not godly in any one individual activity.

Tbh I think the flex I have gotten the most mileage out of is having beaten rad racer 2 three times...

there's a silly pyro bug that i dont know how to do where you can get a ton of velocity and stay in one place so your flames just travel across the map

by brad; 1712680694; Report

I know vaguely what you're talking about but also don't know setups. I think it has to do with situations like this where the player's speed and velocity don't match?

by Fawkes; 1712681021; Report

yea pretty much, best used on the backburner for the extra silly crits

by brad; 1712682501; Report

i had heard of the game many years ago but never bothered with playing it, and then last month i saw someone in a tf2 casual match with the same picture of the frog and i was like "oh its the goober from that game" so i grabbed the highest res version i could find and there ya go. also, frogs r cool i think

i doubt anyone is actually using spacehey on phones other than for the badge (is that still attainable?) so i dont really give a shit if it runs poorly, site is a throwback to early social media on pc anyways, right? should probably put something up about best viewed on pc...

by brad; 1712504258; Report

Actually, there is a whole app for SpaceHey. It's featured in the navigation bar under 'App' and has a retro IOS UI. Even if there wasn't an app, I would have probably tried the site on my phone anyway. Mobile first isn't that hard so I thought I would let you know. It's up to you though if you want to fix it.

i could yap about tf2 for hours but i'll try to keep it short, yeah. the whole month or two month long tf2 obsession does strike whenever it pleases, but when it does, its on pyro. i've got weapon switch binds to help use the degreaser's passives better, although i've been gravitating more towards stock as of late

by brad; 1712169409; Report

A fellow config freak! I have seperate cfg files per class and have a whole bunch of medic specific macros on my keyboard. Could you explain / find an explanation of the degreaser tech you're talking about. Pyro is one of my less played classes so I don't know a ton about their tech.

by Fawkes; 1712170278; Report

it used to be before some updates that equipping the degreaser would just mean a faster switch speed on pyro but has 2 less airblasts than stock and less afterburn damage, but since weapon switch speed was increased slightly to all classes, the tf2 team felt the need to change the degreaser a bit more so it has 60% less time switching TO it and 30% less switching FROM it so you have worse switch speed if you just went from secondary to melee. the weapon switch thing i've got is just mouse5 for primary, q for secondary and e for melee (and mouse4 for medic), this helps a lot in performing axtinguish or flare combos because you're not focusing on scrollwheel or using the number buttons above wasd (which are kinda uncomfortable to press, and even harder in the middle of combat). having dedicated buttons very much helps and is a thing quake players still do, worrying less on what weapon to switch to with numbers and scrollwheel and focusing more on muscle memory and hoping the button you pressed for the rocket launcher was timed well.



pyro combos (especially the flashy ones) has got to be some of the most painful, insanity inducing, unhinged source shenanigans that most of the playerbase in wholly unaware of and really exaggerates how much of an ambush class pyro is meant to be

by brad; 1712171729; Report

I was aware of how the degreaser used to work for old combo pyro before everyone else got a switch speed buff, but I thought that combo pyro had mostly died with that.

So, if I understand correctly, you have special binds for going to your secondary and melee that pull out the degreaser first for a faster switch speed overall? Or are you just saying that you use custom keybinds to just hit the switch buttons a bit easier?

Are you the kind of person who knows a whole bunch of the janky flare gun jumps that exist for pyro? I know of them in vague, but couldn't do one if my life depended on it in a crunch.

by Fawkes; 1712172049; Report

combo pyro is more niche i think since it got kinda nerfed, but you can still flare crit all classes except pyro without some flame manipulation on stock (you can do it fine on degreaser), the weapon slot binds are just so i find it easier to switch between weapons, but having the degreaser does help

i dont know any of the flare gun jumps, detonator jumping i can do alright, but nothing too cool like setting an enemy on fire, airblasting, det jumping towards them and axtinguishing in that order, or doing that but vertically

side note, i was on an mge server wanting to practice more pyro last month, and won 25:24 against a scout from being able to hit flares and they said i was pretty good which was nice
