Today I felt depressed because I'm a 25 year old mediocre wannabe artist and all my more talented art friends are like, 20.

Then I remembered that I didn't spend 200+ dollars to get a nylon bag and felt a little better.

Don't feel too bad. I'm 33 years old and it took me this long to realize QA ain't poo poo. (Well videogame that is) Also one of my teachers told me, you can never be old for art. Everyone has their own starting points.

I'm slightly okay at art, and I defintely have friends who are more talkented than me but I feel more insipred to do better.

Just avoid concepart.org.

That just makes me crawl in a corner and cry.

My favorite thing in Hitman is setting up an assassination as intricate and precise as a well played game of chess... only to have some other random rear end in a top hat come along and kill themselves with it right before the target.

True, it's just more so for me most of my friends were in different professions so I had no one to compared for a while and then the recent years I started to get more friends.

Hell I have a friend right now in Mexico whose pretty good at animating and his stuff is already good and he's only I think.. 20 years old. And he's still going to animation school.

I've been considering trying out hitman but most stealth games wind up with me loving up and just trying to shoot everything when things don't work out so I figured it's probably not the best for me. I still like watching gameplay of it though

I was about to post that, guess I"m not the only one. When the hell did they put that?

edit: Well think of it this way, even if you do gently caress up in Hitman, you leave a glorious amount of bodies. I mean I gently caress up in Hitman and you can still keep going. Now if you wanna get Silent Assassin, yeah it would drive ya nuts. Also I'm not very good but I still enjoy Blood Money alot and Hitman. I guess the appeal for me is you can dress up in doofy clothes.

Best one for Blood Money is dressing up as a clown. Nothing more hilarious than slowly walking up to your target and KO'd them as clown in full get up.

Just find a place near the middle of the circle, find a bathroom and sit there for 40 minutes. You'll at least get top 10.

Which one are you playing? You're going to die a lot. I've won maybe 7 solos since starting a fortnite a couple months ago at the start of season 6, but I don't even play that often.

I would recommend hot dropping, jumping as soon as it's possible, to get in as many fights as you can. You will die alot, but it will force you to think. Once you start peeling off 3-4 kills at a time doing that, start dropping further away from the action, but still close enough to get a kill in. If you just roll in to the final circles with no kills, I feel you're not at the same energy as everyone else and will get killed quick, which makes all that time you spent wasted.

I'm playing the Black Ops 4 one which I guess is pretty much the same thing without the building. In solo I like waiting pretty late to drop because it's nice scavenging for some guns/healing items without having to worry about other people but then it takes me forever to find anyone else. Maybe you're right about dropping earlier to get some practice. Groups seems pretty straightforward though, we just get outplayed

idk it's fun

I ended up actually really liking Colorado. It was a bit too compartmentalized for my tastes but I still enjoyed it. And although I think having only one way to exit and end the mission isn't a very good idea, at least it was really fast each time. And the one time I decided to actually use Rose's body instead of face scan it was fun getting his body to the door.

Gonna start Hokkaido now, but I'm wondering since it's the last of season 1's main levels, what should I do next? I've still got the various bonus levels, the Patient Zero story, and the Sarajevo Six (not to mention escalations but I'm gonna save those and poke at them periodically).

Groups is fun but you will almost always get rolled by a poopsock team. As long as you don't get frustrated with dying, I would say keep doing what you're doing. Personally, I can't do the harvest for 10 minutes and then die. But if you want to "win," I would recommend solos just to get comfortable with killing in tense situations. If you go to popular zones, you'll get third partied alot which will help in group situations. At a certain point you'll have to learn how to manage adrenaline which is a whole other thing. I usually just try to convince myself I'm not gonna win so no reason to be hype.

Every time I think about Battle Royales I just think of the Arikadou video where he's vs multiple teams in Fortnite and just crushes every single person. While it's rare to run into people that exceptional, I'm also not good at fps games. So I know I'll always run into someone that clowns on me and that's just not enjoyable personally. I'll stick to occasionally watching videos of groups doing silly things and tormenting each other.

Either of the new AssCreeds or Tomb Raiders are some of the prettiest looking games money can buy all ultra’d out, and then there’s always The Witcher (and by that of course I mean the 2007 original).
