The least-hunted monster got a souped up version complete with lil hat reward

AT Arkveld is a very tough and fun fight with a great battle theme and armor set

You can fight your way through a room of slimes and bring a little one home with you

Disco ball Afro for your cat

this was the best weekend in MH Wilds in a while.

don’t talk to me until I’ve had my

boy, having never played either I’d be very curious to get your take on what the hell the story is just from what you saw haha

nah man no such luck 😔

since it’s how I spent about 99.99% of my time playing the game, it was easily the most meaningful 😔

BB’s theme also good, I guess lol

the Death Stranding concert was great. There was a whole song and video sequence for driving the various vehicles and I’m not even joking

haha thanks man! I’ll try to be on more when a game really grabs me. And yea, RIP Big Words—it was fun but I flaked out too much on poor Thomas 😭

Strap on your climbing gear and watch out for vertigo as we scale the dizzying heights of Cairn and plumb the stereoscopic depths of the Virtual Boy. Plus news! 8-4.jp/podcasts/202...

Also there is a cute robot and chill cooking in your tent

this is the kind of game where you will remember exactly where you found a thermos, an invaluable survival item. you will start the game being like “yea, climbing, whatever”, then you will itch deeply to climb. Then you will hate it. Then you will transcend thoughts and feelings and become climb

I am breaking my months-long skeet silence to tell you that Cairn is a very good game and you should play it

everything seems to get worse but at least we have snow #hourlycomicday2026

I would see 100 Mario games cancelled for this to happen

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

four kale plants growing in recycled cans

a row of plants growing in recycled cans: komatsuna, arugula, dill, lemon balm, basil

a container full of pet bottles growing carrots

a 2L pet bottles on its side with radishes growing out of it

for the past few months i‘ve been building and growing a little trash garden. i figure i’m gonna start sharing plant updates since it’s been pretty rewarding

I am the one who drinks most of the cans so I’m a big help 😏

I literally learned about his death and came here to see how you were doing, RIP to a real one

Tweet from Roy Blakely (aka @Kotowari) saying “happy spooky october! here is my new fav music video by a korean girl band with a nod zombie apocalypse going on”. Included is a YouTube link to the Twice music video for Like Ooh Ahh.

It’s been 8 years since @kotowari.bsky.social posted this tweet and forever changed the trajectory of my life (and no, I’m not exaggerating).

damn and that video still slaps

wah, didn’t realize you were on here!

Right back at you, birthday buddy! Hope you have a good one

I feel ya, something like a Valheim approach to Monster Hunter would be very interesting. More of a sandbox gear progression rather than the on rails story of fighting the guy on the cover. It should be worth a try at least. Capcom sometimes swings wide and that’s refreshing (seems like Exo is that)

I have seen the team try to evolve based on player feedback and that is not easy to do with such a massive game like this. And there is a LOT of feedback.

So, I’d say yea good game just some troubles they are trying to figure out. You will absolutely get your money’s worth just be a little baffled

that said I think it has one of the better stories. It’s not Shakespeare but it at least is more than the typical “we must heal nature by killing nature” trope. A good cast of characters helps a lot.

It goes without saying that menus are a nightmare. Online play resembling what a modern gamer is used to requires opting into 2-3 different party settings that are not really explained well.

MH is at its best when there is some kind of fair friction preventing you from getting the bobble you want. You talk to other hunters, lurk on boards, find out what works and try it. This feels good but there is almost no need to do this now save for timed challenge quests

Frenzied monsters for instance have so little health my crew was able to take one down in like under 3 mins, and that included riding to the monster’s location. No quest should be anywhere near that short.

There is no monster like that in wilds. And I think it could have done with some balancing to get more time out of all the very well designed monsters. A lot of people will probably just plow through to the end game very easily. And some monsters are just bafflingly underpowered (cont.)

The core loop of new monster, new gear is there and very rewarding. There is lots of new streamlining. And so progress is very smooth, even for newcomers. This means it lacks the walls that give a true feeling of accomplishment. For instance MG3’s Barroth being the guy you need to learn—(cont.)

If you’re even considering PC I’d suggest doing your research. It seems like people get wildly different results with similar setups.

I’ve only played on PS5 and had almost no issues to speak of.
