Weird, I heard that ICE agents were seen smoking meth in that van moments before it burst into flames 🧊💨🔥🚐

Sick we park our minivan in the grass too. It seats up to 7, has more cargo room, is AWD, and weighs well over 2000 lbs less than one of those polygonal turds. Oh, and we don't get laughed at everywhere we go in it--even better, we get no more attention than any other car on the road.

Haha to each their own. I hope that it's as well received as I anticipate it will be, but until that comes to pass I respect a cautious approach. Until thenwhen you may join the hunt, I vibe with your Taskmaster fandom (thought it was your OC lowkey for a minute), and hope Fortnite treats you well.

if you give it a fair shake, even if it doesn't scratch the same itch as Gens 1-4, it will scratch itches you may not have known you had. My wife has played since 3rd Gen (and some MHFU on my PSP later on), and this is the first title that she is genuinely hyped for without me dragging her along lol

to make the world feel alive still astounds me. World was an attempt at this, but Wilds nails it down in a way that sees opur surroundings matter again, but in a more organic way. I miss the Guild Hot-air Balloons, too, but only in the nostalgic sense. I can't guarantee anything, but I'd bet...

I completely understand where you're coming from. Funnily enough paintballs are actually back, and oddly enough I kept forgetting about them while playing both of the open betas so far. The environments are seemless, so no escaping a charging Rath at a loadscreen, but the fact that they managed...

The character creator is also god tier. First two are my character, Icebreaker, a frost Orc. Last one is my wife's character based on her Firbolg character, Beyla Bee-balm.

I built a nicer desktop for my wife a couple years ago, it's got a 4070Ti and an i7-13700K, and it was crushing it. With frame gen she was getting an avg over 160 FPS, I don't recall what she got without, but it looked great.

addressed those concerns. My computer is a budget machine built a few years ago with a RTX 3060 and an i7-10700KF, with frame gen it was running an avg FPS in the high 80s on most settings on high, meshes on ult. Without frame gen, with the settings on medium, I was averaging over 55 FPS...

and the usages of the slinger are much more interactive with the environment, which is a big plus in my book. The biggest concern I had with the final release was the performance we saw in the beta. However, that was a very early build and the Benchmark that they provided to us on Steam has...

considering you've encountered the Palamute. Weapon swapping is an excellent addition and provides more flexibility and depth than the Switch Skills ever did. The pace of combat being closer to titles pre-Gen 5 is largely down to there not being a clutch claw or wirebugs. You still get a slinger...

the only weapon I cannot vouch for was the Insect Glaive because my wife is an IG main, so I didn't want to step on her toes. I understand the IG community was unhappy with the state of it, but that the Wilds Team addressed those concerns in the final game. The Seikret will feel somewhat familiar...

Sunbreak (including soloing World/Iceborne with only the Hammer); I think the combat feels more similar to games before either title. I found myself enjoying the Bow and (unsurprisingly) the Hammer the most, but generally all the weapons felt good, there was payoff for playing them with intent...

the mechanics. I think Sunbreak saw the speed of combat reach a level that hampered the deliberate, tactical movements of earlier games. It didn't completely remove them, there was still challenge. However, as a hunter that has beat at least 1 title from each generation and both Iceborne and ...

That said, I did appreciate the maneuverability that the wirebugs gave me as an obligate hammer user. And being able to swap between switch skills did give a little more dynamism to the gameplay. Ultimately, to me, the biggest difference between the two were the pace of combat and the tightness of..

the other, however I liked them both. I was more impressed by the willingness to experiment on World/Iceborne and found the clutch claw far less irritating than the Qurio mechanics. The Qurio was ultimately a worse version of the Frenzy virus and unfortunately the whole endgame revolved around it...

I have been playing since Monster Hunter Freedom on the PSP. I can't say that I disliked World, but I will admit it was vastly improved by Iceborne. Rise suffered different issues than world and, in my humble opinion, was also greatly improved by Sunbreak. I understand the preference of one over...

Looks fantastic! Love the color theory on display here.

Being as charitable as possible here, but maybe they meant that now that it has been discovered there's a fair chance that an ecosystem, formerly undisturbed by human hands, will be contaminated. Alternatively, they were on a substance(s) and meant to leave that comment on another post?

Could be oversteeped, someone may have been smoking regularly around where the sweet tea packs are stored, or maybe someone put their their cigarette out in the brewed sweet tea? Regardless, I'd let them know and ask for a bottle of water to swap it with.

Haven't seen it in the comments, so my favorite mineral: LABRADORITE! For a sec I thought the second one is plausibly some lower flashing Lab, but I don't think it has the lamellar light play that I've come to love about the mineral. Check it out! :D
