Just wanted to say it's impressive as hell that you kept this up so long, I've enjoyed following along where I can and offering my two cents :)

Tomorrow is the day! Today's game is Halo. Specifically the public multiplayer of Halo 3. We also did some CE but Steam seems to be feuding with anything microsoft recently and has so issues with the screenshots, so i had to go in with theater and take them that way.
The main screenshot is from a slayer match where i saw someone coming on my Minimap and hid behind a corner to jump them. It was fun, it felt cheap though so i only did it once, the constant fire though made it difficult to try and get off those stairs.
I've always dismissed Halo public matchmaking as being not for me, as i didn't grow up with it, but i had a friend in my party who did and he suggested turning off the Precession slayer and Swat modes, and what do you know? I actually did really well. Maybe it's just sheer blind luck, but i won 2/3 games i did by a pretty close margin. This isn't meant to shit on people who are really skilled at the game btw. Mad respect to them, just, I want something a little more casual personally.
Before we turned off Swat though, we were getting stomped by these guys who seem to be regulars. They were really skilled, we didn't have much room to move before they sniped us and we kept matching with them lol. No ill will though, it's just the way PvP games work and we still had fun.
I mentioned Halo CE and i did manage to get one screenshot of it. it's an absolutely random one but i love it. It's from me getting pelted by a grenade from across the map while holding the point. That's honestly what i love about CE multiplayer. It's like a Magnum and Grenade Hell. There's explosions left and right and you can absolutely get your ass handed too you by the most basic weapon in the game. I love it.
I wanted to end off tonight with my favorite kill of the match. Some guy came down the stairs when i was trying to get off and i tried to get him with the hammer. I missed enough that he still went flying but he didn't die. He killed me but the momentum from the hammer sent him backwards and he fell right off the landing and i got the kill like 5 seconds later. It was a fun match. I doubt the people i played against are going to see this, but absolutely a good game. Sorry for Teabagging you though, I got a little caught up in the moment and Campaign Co-Op instincts kicked in.
I've been here since day 1. Well done, amigo.
Same here. Back then lemme.ee still worked 😛
Ouch, too soon. I'm still breaking in this account.
ONE MORE DAY ONE MORE DAY
Today's the Day!
Hell yeah nothin beats halo 3.
It's a very good and foundational Halo Experience in my opinion. It does the basics really well
Happy lemmy anniversary! Although tomorrow is the big day, I'm just in an early festive mood :]
It's exciting. I've been planning my post in a document ahead of time to make sure it's good
Yeah, never could get into SWAT, it greatly increases the skill gap, so people who play it all the time can just headshot you before you have a chance. The most fun modes were always the chaotic ones with hammers and rockets involved. Oddball and CTF come to mind.
Yeah, that's the same issue we have too lol. I'm a sucker for basic team slayer though. CTF is a lot of fun too though. Some of my most memorable matches came from that
Place your bets for the final game
I'm going with Roblox
(no money/crypto will be exchanged, because gambling is haram and I placed a really bad meme bet)
lol. I'd consider it or some similar joke entry but I doubt it works over proton
I despise roblox, but I do know that Sober works perfectly.
I'm not a fan of it either tbh. It's practices are predatory and honestly I feel like game developer on there get away with way too many things that normal developers would get a lot of flak for. I'd be down to do it for a one off joke, but honestly even then I'd be a little hesitant because I feel like I'd still be promoting it even if it's meant to be a little joke
Yep, here's a comprehensive article about roblox https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/jan/09/the-trouble-with-roblox-the-video-game-empire-built-on-child-labour
