Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

The facecamping and babies sound like usual, I say when its been over a year since I played.

Shame he’s still buggy as always

Not nearly as bad as Europeans who play Doctor (I can say this as somebody who has American friends so has played on the West Coast servers).

Either the most frustrating games of; “just gonna slug everybody and get everybody into madness tier 3” or has been tunnel, facecamp with either a mori or NOED and Bloodwarden.

Every Doctor I have ever faced on the European servers has been some flavour of this.

Doctors in my experience fall into one of three categories: Tunneller+Facecamper, the absolute SWEATLORD or the big noob who you loop and avoid the whole game

The only thing I wanted to see was whether they would use the iconic sh2 cutscene with James in the dark toilet infront of a mirror and how they’d handle it. They did and they completely butchered the stellar cinematography and lighting of that scene.
Of all the Bloober projects The Observer was the only one I actually liked, so I don’t have high hopes. They can build good atmosphere, but they have already shown that they completely miss the point of SH with Medium, which is its own can of worms. That said, this seems to be a beat for beat remake of SH2, so there’s still hope that things won’t change much beyond a facelift and gameplay rework.

The F was kind of interesting? But it gave me strong Forbidden Siren vibes, more than anything, not sure why. The jury is out on this one.

Haven’t watched the rest yet but I can’t wait to pirate all of these games, because :b:uck konami.

Gwyneth?

My recurring peeve:

Today I walked past some lovely old Victorian buildings in my home city to find them covered in scaffolding and I swear to you now if they’re planning to tear them down and replace them with some big glass box I will personally hunt the architects responsible to the end of the world (of Warcraft) and destroy them (in PVP duels)

Maybe they’re doing upkeep on the cladding or whatever it’s called.
Local house from around 1809 had the decorative parts restored during the pandemic. that took forever but it looks really nice now

peeve: it’s cold, co-worker is sick, other co-worker is lazy (and pikachu faced at me when I got annoyed because I had to do their work…) and we got a new person who needs to be shown around and my boss is trying to ditch the responsibility for that.

This alone will save them from devastation (to their in game equipment after I spawn camp them thus forcing them to ress at the spirit healer taking a 25% hit to their item durability)

Revolting.

Peeve: tripping on the charging cord when getting out of bed. I need to cover it in brightly coloured rubber bands or something.

I’m glad she’s gone.

is this what it takes for you to engage with content?

Wire me up to some Clockwork Orange style machine that constantly flashes images of modern architecture before my eyes and behold as within the space of half an hour I’ve single handedly cleared the Sepulcher of the First Ones mythic + difficulty in a fit of rage

The amount of “just 'cause” in that stuff makes my hair curl in revulsion. I’m no weirdo who demands neoclassical purity in our glorious Evropa but there’s a limit and once your new library is in the shape of a giant croc shoe you’ve polevaulted over the line.

Well there is … this

An art museum is probably the most acceptable building type to be utterly weird looking so I’ll allow it.

Shivers. That’s the exact thing I meant.

Honestly I can’t be doing with those people who insist on weirdly shaped modern buildings just for the sake of them or on putting huge glass triangles inside traditional architecture on the grounds that it’s “Disrupting our spaces and expectations”

Listen mate painting a giant glow in the dark willy on the side of a children’s hospital would disrupt my expectations but that still doesn’t make it a good idea
