It is because they grew up with Strongbad Email

They got pavlov'd

Rob playing a mainstream game? The world must be ending

He has a few games he plays

he was also big into marvel rivals

I’ve seen more mecha chameleon memes in a week than I’ve seen of marvel rivals in 2 years

Just because a bad game becomes popular doesn’t mean it’s mainstream lol

I think rivals is fairly mainstream

I mean like so clippable that it reaches beyond the gamersphere

No it’s just popular

And exponentially decreasing at that, faster than Overwatch did

99% of games are not mainstream, since most gamers play 5-10 forever games

I think marvel rivals is mainstream

by a reasonable metric

Exactly. Only a few have become popular enough to reach outside attention

Helldivers for example

Yeah, so fortnite and roblox are the only mainstream games

and minecraft

helldivers declined in popularity

it is not mainstream

I saw a Helldivers clip to-day

Haven’t seen a rivals clip in months

I saw a rivals post the other day

I have not seen helldivers in months

I will say rivals is more popular

Last helldivers thing I saw was people review bombing it for some reason

Just not so mainstream that it reaches influence to the people that never played it

Okay, but again, that is at most 3-4 games a year

mainstream gamers do not play games

And mecha chameleons is one of them this year

Hence why I’m shocked Rob is playing it

He’s usually the type to say “nah I’m better than jumping on hype trains” and he’ll play it 2 years later

I’m just surprised he’s playing “the popular thing” is all

Mecha Chameleon has sold something crazy like 10M copies in <1 month

I think it might be the fastest selling friendslop

doesn't that one also have the 2x childslop buff

I am partial to Burglin Gnomes myself but I haven't gotten enough people to get it yet

mecha does seem like something exactly for him tbf

I mean meccha chameleon is the only good friend slop game since among us so it's understandable

>no lethal company

optimal friendslop

meccha chameleon looks really good, especially because of the workshop support

Never seemed very interesting. Would've gotten a play out of it then never again

Looked about as good as repo

Lethal is fun in a group going in blind as a new game

Idk if my friends wanna do co-op i think I'd rather just boot up a l4d2 session than buy and play the latest friendslop

I mean, I agree for the most part

lethal company is one of like 3 actually good friendslop games though

What makes it different from repo? Ill admit i thought they were basically the same game

I've not played repo so I don't know

lethal came first, I think polu said he thinks repo is a better game

Lethal is better Phasmaphobia imo

Repo feels like the better game if you go in without a group to learn it with

since that's the fun of Lethal/Phas is the figuring stuff out

Misery and Kletka are just Lethal Company, but Russian

I find that Lethal is a slightly better game than Repo, Repo is a better *friendslop * than Lethal

but maybe just me

yeah I'd agree

I feel like friendslop sorta diverged after Content warning, with about half of the genre now wanting to encourage you to Pub with randos or different friendgroups

versus the initial games where you are expected to progress with one group through learning the game, and then play with others only after you understand it

I disliked Repo tbh

I enjoyed higher tier runs on LC with friends, but I understand that LC is lacking in a lot of content comparatively

Does anybody know how the D20 thing on the urealms website worked?

the one that gave you gold for daily logins?

Yeah

Was it as simple as cycle through PNGs of the D20 with numbers until it “landed”

that's my memory of it yes, he may have also had a "rolling" animation where it played a short animation before it started cycling numbers

not of a full dice roll, but just to animate it side-to-side slightly when it started to look less static

Ok cool so I had the right idea roughly

I do not know how to write that as code but at least I know what I’m aiming for

1) There are 10,000 of those that already exist online, it's pretty simple 2) if you want it to be super custom to something you're doing, and you can't code, just have AI make it for you

or fuck, if you write the prompt I'll paste it into AI for you lol

I’ll try looking around online and see if there’s one that I like otherwise I might look into having an AI code for me

Basically, I want something similar to how the urealms website did it for one of the jeopardies that I’m planning

Because looking at the Google RNG thing is boring vinnyg5LUL

I'm pretty sure the site just swapped between images then settled at the end of a rolling sound effect There was a physics-based dice that was shown in like season 1 BTS that was an overlay and would bounce on the bottom of the screen until it stopped rolling and showed a number, but they didn't use it because they thought the audience would assume they were cheating the numbers if the rolling took place externally to tabletop simulator

I remember when Rob implied he wanted to move away from random dice rolls to scripted ones.

Really felt himself.

luckily you could very easily script dice rolls on the forum

I think this was the same dialogue, where 1 the fans would assume they were cheating, but 2 there were times where they would want to force it, even if just ensuring a critical but still leaving it 50/50, and then no one would know what rolls were cheated or natural and this was a lot of the appeal/excitement But maybe I'm conflating a few different things at this point
