Lycist

would this be an appropriate time for a "Ur Mom" mention?

Unrelated to the article:

I read this title as "Fascifacts" instead of "Facists"...

I think that instead of calling it fake news, we should start calling it "Fascifacts."

Just call yourself a silly goose.

all I've got is blue and darkish gold.

100%, I hate matchmaking. Give me old school server selections. Some of the best times I had in PvP was in Gears of War 1, where I'd get my teeth repeatedly kicked in by the same group of people and LEARN from what they did.

"If I dodge this way instead of this way its more effective." "They never use this specific weapon I like, maybe it actually sucks."

You don't get that in matchmaking because you never see the same people again, you can't learn from those more skilled at the game because of this. Unless I go watch youtube videos of people playing it that are better than me, I don't get that sense of immersion. I hate watching videos of other people playing, I'd rather jump in, and study my enemy in a live environment.

We've a weekly game night with a few friends. We mostly play survival crafters, because that's about the only co-op experience we can find anymore..

That said, we're doing a private server run-through of Barotrauma that promises to be fun.

Thats exactly what it is, mobile gaming showed up with its microtransactions and proved its model was vastly more profitable, and so the downhill slide began.

I hate matchmaking so much!!! Its such a garbage mechanic. Let me pick a server to play against/with the same dozen people over and over. Some of the best impromptu friendships I've ever had were from server based PvP, because I could encounter the same people over and over.

Pay to win models are shit. Much prefer twitch/skill based models where you can't apply currency to anything mechanical.
