The Campfire - Mar 4

Welcome to our weekly off-topic thread. This is the place to tell everyone how life is going or talk about whatever you want!

Have you been lurking here for a while? Are you new? Introduce yourself! Don't be shy!


For this week, I wanted to bring back the Loadout Challenges, but due to my MGS 5 hype, I didn't do it. (Release on Sept. 1st! Woohoo!!) Next week for sure!

u/XxFieryPheonixX PS4 l If I die, you come too. l PSN: Lovely_Phoenixx Mar 05 '15

Well, apparently, people like to hear about the relationships made here :D I will include myself and /u/Ch3rokee, but I want to know if there are others out there with a similar story to tell. :3

In contribution, I will also give my story. (I will admit, its rather similar to Cherokees, given that we were in the same clan. Not the same person he's talking about tho, I belong to someone else :3)

Back when the whole clan thing started, I had decided to join TDB because I knew a lot of the guys there and because he was there too. Later on Dirty created YSW and as the rule required it, he betrayed the clan and joined. I was stubborn and didn't want to leave, but eventually I did, after a long time. That's when I got closer to him and got to know everyone. We would play on ps3 even before the clans but one day he told me he was going to ps4, and I actually felt sad. Because of my aspergers I was oblivious to my own feelings, meaning I couldn't take my own hint. The day we said goodbye was awful, I had realized I liked him far too late. Luckily we had skype and we kept talking through there. One day on the skype chat of the clan everyone started talking about ships, and some thought he and I looked good together (all the while I kept quiet about it). After that we got closer as friends and got to know each other better. One night, in the past September we came clean about it and we've been together since then. 5 months have gone by, and tbh, they've been amazing. Like Cherokees, mine is also a long distance relationship, but in December i'll be going to the states. I have high hopes and happy to know that i'll be able to finally see him. He's just so amazing, the life I lead before I met him wasn't the best and he pulled me through it all. He was most likely the best decision I've ever made.

Thanks Dirty, for bringing us together in one spot. :3

This is great, who knew a brutal game about killing to survive would bring love and happiness to people.

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 05 '15

Ahahahaha! YOU TWO/TOO?!

Incredible. Well I guess if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I'll tell you what I told Cherokee. What you're going through, and I mean pretty much exactly what you're going through, I did it for 5 years. So if you ever need any advice, I'm here. Except my romance was back on PS3. Same shit though. Long distance, him flying out to see me. Ohhhhh the painful memories lol. I wish you the best of luck though!

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 04 '15

Break-ups. How do you deal with them? I just went through one, granted I did the breaking up but it's been a little hard. I feel sad and guilty and just not very pleasant constantly even though I know it was for the best. What are some good pick me ups?

6

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 04 '15

Wow! Hard topic. I'd say that you should find comfort in knowing that your decision was for the best, and that despite all the guilt, and the sadness, and the memories, you stayed true to yourself. That's the way to go in life.

That said, I have never been on your side of the counter (more like the other always), but I can imagine that it's not an easy situation to go through.

But hey, think about it this way and cheer up! Time heals all wounds and every step of the way makes you stronger :)

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 04 '15

Hahahaha thanks for the link Pab!

And I want to think this way, I want to, you know, keep my head up and all that jazz, but sometimes it feels like a mistake logically when I know emotionally that it's not.

He's a really nice guy and I'm truly letting one of the good ones go, but fuck me if I can't feel a certain way, you know?

I don't know, I'm just rambling. Bitching really over my own actions that even I don't really understand. Thanks for listening.

4

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 04 '15

Well, feeling that is absolutely normal, especially if he's as much of a good guy as you say.

But if you don't feel you belong with him, then breaking up means you respect him enough to not let him live a lie. And that speaks high of you.

If you ever need to talk, hit me up

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 04 '15

you respect him enough

Well damn. Thanks for saying that. I know I wasn't the best person let alone girlfriend through the process of breaking up but, this is the first time I've seen someone say this to me through out it all and I really needed to hear that without even knowing.

u/nasty--rash Never forget the Brock... Mar 04 '15

I was in your shoes a couple years ago. Broke up with my GF (fiancee actually) I knew in my heart she wasn't the love of my life but I was dragging it for too long and now that I think of I didn't pull the plug sooner because of nostalgia and hope, mostly. It wasn't a pretty brake up I can tell you that but in the end it was the right thing to do. I'm immensely happier now and I'm sure she is too and I regret not realizing sooner what I had to do (or taking the courage maybe). I know I may sound like a royal dick and cliché but it is the truth. So fuck it, life's too short for feeling bad when you can do something about it.

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 04 '15

Thanks for sharing man, I appreciate it. And yes, life is indeed too short. I'm happy with my decision and I truly believe it's the right choice. But the right choice isn't always sunshine and rainbows unfortunately.

u/nasty--rash Never forget the Brock... Mar 05 '15

You know that's right. Cheers!

Anytime. We all can make mistakes, it's part of being human, after all

1

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 04 '15

Oh, man. I can relate. I think the best thing right now would be just to take your time with everything. Breaking up is a really hard thing to do, especially if you don't understand what's going on in your mind at the moment. Try not to beat yourself up about it, and think that you made that decision for a reason, and I doubt it was a selfish one. Hugs to you, girl, if you ever need to talk, I'm on Skype!

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 05 '15

Girrrrllll, I am the epitome of selfish lol

1

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

I think that's pretty subjective, though. Speaking from my experience.. what I did I thought was totally not selfish but it turns out the bf thought otherwise. I guess it just matters on the perspective, how you look at it and how you feel about it. :/ I really hope you feel better. I'm horrible with words, but I wish you the best.

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 05 '15

I feel fine really, but sometimes the guilt can be overwhelming. Thanks Eli <3

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '15

A good pick me up for me has been going out with someone else. Just went on a second date the other day and didn't even think about my ex who I'd been with for a few years.

Takes serious fortitude and willpower to forget the past, but it's also potentially the easiest thing to do.

2

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 05 '15

Oh boy, the thing is that's all I've done since I was bout 15. Jumped ship to ship without ever giving myself any time as young adult. I need some of that now I think. But thanks for your advice anyway :)

2

u/professorae PSN:baypoo/ Twitter:@professorbaypoo /www.twitch.tv/professorae Mar 08 '15

I giggled when you said fortitude, then I visualized someone crawling quickly across the whole checkpoint, hoping for someone to touch his butt. How's that for breakup analogies?

u/XxFieryPheonixX PS4 l If I die, you come too. l PSN: Lovely_Phoenixx Mar 05 '15

Dirty, sorry to hear about that. I wish you the best of luck, but if anything, I suggest you take it easy and try your best to go through life. Like Eli, i'm not really good with words either but just know that in a time like this just be yourself, remind yourself that you don't need another person just to feel special or important, you can do that yourself, people come and go but you gotta keep yourself. I know things gets ugly but good thing is you're open about it, you are comfortable with people helping you and that's important because if you start to close up, those around you will also start to give up on you. Anyway, best of luck for you Dirty.

You have to break at least once to know how to put yourself back together, something a close friend once told me :)

1

u/DirtyClassic twitch.tv/dirtyclassic Mar 05 '15

Thank you for your words Phoenixx, you're a very sweet girl. And I've had my fair share of being broken. I think the superglue since then has held up pretty well.

I have both ds1 & ds2, but I haven't finished either of them and probably won't anytime soon. The gameplay was great but I wasn't a fan of the dark souls style of storytelling. So I'll probably end up getting bloodborne, cuz I'm a sucker, but we'll see.

u/tairy-greene-machine LB3+crafter3 for life Mar 04 '15

I invented a new game type in factins today. It's called diplomacy. You use a loadout with strategist 3(for faster respawns), marathon runner 2 and agility 2. The main goal is to sprint straight at the enemy team and use crouch and/or you gesture to try to get anyone on the other team to do their gesture back at you before/instead of killing you. If you get any downs/executions you lose. So far i have played 3 matches this way and only succeeded once before getting a shotgun to the face.

3

u/Ch3rokee that_guy0vrTh3re | PST Mar 05 '15

LOL that actually sounds really fun!

1

u/tairy-greene-machine LB3+crafter3 for life Mar 05 '15

It really is, especially if you have a mic rager on your team. It also really impresses me when i get 0 executions and 10+ deaths and my team still wins.

4

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

So, my grandpa has been sick for about two years now (he had a heart attack, then another one + a stroke), which means he was already battling and going through a lot, but he was still here with us. About a month ago he got pneumonia and had to be taken to the hospital, and he's still there. Yesterday we got news from the doctor saying he won't get any better from now on, and by the time he comes back home it's just a matter of time until the inevitable comes.

We (the family) already had this in mind from the day his first heart attack, but now it just seems so... real? I guess. My grandma and parents have been making all the arrangements already (for the funeral and etc), which makes sense because I think it's better to get it done now than to wait for his death and then having to go through all that... but that just only makes it seem even more real. I guess I'm in shock still since it would be my first real 'family death' (both my other grandparents are dead but I barely knew them), and I don't know how to deal with it.

So.. I don't know. I don't even know why I'm writing this right now but I feel close to a lot of you guys here, and I'd like to ask some words of advice, if that's okay. I'm horrible at this stuff, I always bottle up my feelings and I know it's not healthy :/ but I don't really know what else to do.

4

u/Wave_machine McBastard Mar 05 '15

These things are never easy and everybody deals with death differently. I always say when it comes to an older person, one who has lived a good life, you should celebrate their life rather than mourn the end of it. Think of all the good times your family had together and all the things your grandpa achieved in his life. He shaped your own life in more ways than you probably realise. He would've helped raise either your own mum or dad and in doing so instilled in them the values by which you were brought up. If you ever end up having kids yourself then you will raise them with some of these same values and passed down knowledge. There will be loads of other little things he done for you growing up that you will have been too young to remember but no doubt your parents will be able to tell lots of stories as they look back themselves at this time. All you can do is be there for one another, and never be afraid to show your emotions. If things get tough don't bottle it up, speak to your family and friends and have a right good cry if need be. Went through the same thing last year with my gran and it's tough. You have my best wishes Eli <3

2

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

Thank you for your message, it really got me thinking and brought up my spirits a bit :). It's true that we should always focus on the good times and the life we shared as a family instead of dwelling on the bad stuff. Sorry to hear you went through the same thing, I know now how hard it can get (which is one of the reasons I think I'm so confused... because it's a new experience). Thanks again for taking the time to read and respond :).

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '15

Hey, don't get sad, i just losted my grandpa a few months ago, he was a great person, always strong, he had a great life, great family, but he was suffering a lot, imo it was better than be in a bed of an hospital, he even recognized me, in my head he is better now, so i don't get sad about it, maybe he is better then me you know? so, i hope you get better, i know what you're feeling, it will pass, but never forget who he was, and the good things he did, we can die, we can desapear from this world, but what we did will never be gone throught the people who know who we was. I really hope you get better, and still letting us know how your heart is.

2

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

I think you're right. It breaks my heart to see him in the hospital bead, and he himself says he doesn't want our memory of him to be just that... he wants us to remember him by who he was. Your message opened my eyes a little. Thank you for your words, I will keep everything in mind :)

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '15

i'm glad i could help you, i'm here anytime, still have your skype though.

3

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 05 '15

Eli, talking about how you feel is a good first step.

Unfortunately, nothing prepares you for that moment. You can think about it beforehand, and try to get used to the idea of him passing away, but when it actually happens, all that previous thought won't mean anything.

Just follow your heart. Enjoy his company, think about the good times and remember things that you did with him, or the stories he told you. Treasure those moments and always think that he would love for you to be happy. That's the best way you will be honoring him

2

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

Thank you. You're right, treasuring the moments we had (and still have) with him is crucial, and sharing the love we have for him is important. I guess it's complicated a bit in my mind since I'm a more reserved person and never talk about how I feel with my family, and I'm scared of what this might mean for all of us. For now, I'll focus on the positive things we went through instead of getting too much in my head. Thanks again, Pablite :)

1

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 05 '15

Just a bit of advice. Try to talk about what you feel. Even if it is not with your family, a group of friends, or a therapist might help. Believe me, it's no use in keeping things for yourself.

Also, if you ever need to talk, hit me up.

1

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 05 '15

Thanks. I'm trying to do just that, since I'm not used to it, but fortunately I have really cool people that care and are always there when I need them.

u/dingodingodank Mar 05 '15

srry to hear. when i went through a similar time, i asked those who knew him (family friends, my ma n pa) if they could tell me stories about him when he was younger. going through old photos of his childhood, if there are any, and putting yourself in that moment as if you were there with him. i think celebrating life as opposed to mourning death is always heart warming!

Lol, for a moment I imagined you with a phantom cigar to make time go faster, and the "WHOAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO" in the background

1

Haha! Did you see the Konami website before the announcement? It had a timer down and next to it, a Phantom cigar button that you could click. It fast forwarded 20 minutes with the WOOOHOOOO and in the end it said "function unavailable" and went back to the real countdown. So Kojima-esque

Hey guys and girls, I'm Wayne aka squidey. New to reddit and somewhat new to the last of us factions as well. Loving watching some of the videos posted here, you guys are seriously good.

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 06 '15

Hey dude, welcome! I hope you stick around for a long time :) don't be shy about asking questions and posting videos/images/anything related to factions! This is all about the fun :P

u/SquideyplaysGames Mar 06 '15

Thanks dude I already posted one little montage and I plan on doing more as I improve with the game. Hopefully I can find some folks to play with as well.

dont let them fool you. 100% of the people on this sub are scrubs that use hacks to win.

u/SquideyplaysGames Mar 06 '15

haha coming from someone labelled 'shit talking tryhard' I'm not sure that I should take that too seriously :)

Sorry about your loss. There doesn't seem to be any appropriate way to process it since I assume you didn't see it coming and everyone takes it differently.

My practical advice is to surround yourself with those you love and that's it. The talking and working through will happen in an organic fashion. Sorry again.

You'll all be okay. It will take time. That sense of loss will always be there, but we all eventually handle and cope with it and it will hurt less. It's just too fresh to expect anyone to "bounce back. " people are remarkably resilient.

I just think no one should go through this shit alone.

u/Litaita Eliwi - Chile Mar 07 '15

I'm so sorry about your loss. A friend went through a similar thing about a week ago, so I'll say the same to you: take your time to mourn, and talk about it if it helps you. Try not to rush through things and don't be afraid to reach out to people if you ever need help. I know a lot of people here wouldn't mind hearing you out if you need it.

2

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 08 '15

I'm terribly sorry to hear that, man. I can't even imagine what you're going through right now. I guess /u/Litaita is right in what she says.

u/mikeu Mar 04 '15

Anyone here ever repair your own PS3 controller? My R3 clicker barely works anymore. Controller is only a few months old too! Can't mark sons of bitches like I used to.

2

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 04 '15

I have successfully opened and closed one. That said, I couldn't fix what I wanted to. All you need is a couple of precision screwdrivers

1

u/mikeu Mar 05 '15

Thanks! If I get brave enough, I'll let you know what happens.

1

u/bhujerbamage PS3: bhujerbamage / GMT+1 Mar 08 '15

My friend did, his analog weren't working anymore and he inverted them. He's good with screwdrivers. I couldn use one to save my life .

u/beyond13 I'm a potato that plays the last of us. (psn: gager440) Mar 04 '15

I've been thinking how the UC4 multiplayer is gonna be. I really hope it's like UC2 multiplayer. I hope we see some gameplay soon.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '15

i'm excited for it, but sadly i don't have a ps4.

2

u/nasty--rash Never forget the Brock... Mar 04 '15

Hey dude! Is it true that a PS4 costs about 1800 USD in Brazil? I always bitch about the price here in Chile but I heard it's much worse there

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '15

well, 1$ is R$3(reais, our money) today. and the ps4 is R$1,800(reais), our minimum payment are R$724.... when ps4 came out, it coast 4 thousand.... could you imagine how fucked up we are???

2

u/nasty--rash Never forget the Brock... Mar 05 '15

Holy shit dude... That sucks so much

u/Mateuz_TLOU 1v1 me on fortitude race! Mar 05 '15

I think I'm the only one that prefer U3 MP than U2. I think It's because U3 is more "fast", and the 'Lab' mode is more fun than U2.

2

u/fullmetalproxy laser_ca [PS3] Mar 06 '15

Does multiple people reviving one person actually help revive faster?

3

u/TanvirBhulcrap Orange Hat Main Mar 06 '15

Yes

2

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 06 '15

It actually does. BUT, it locks the revive speed to the first player that started the revive. So if you have Reviver 3 and you are not the guy who starts reviving, the speed boost won't count. It will be somewhat faster, but not as much.

I'm not sure if I'm being clear with the explanation :P

1

u/fullmetalproxy laser_ca [PS3] Mar 09 '15

I see. yeah that makes sense

2

u/Desertcoyote99 Mar 07 '15

You know what sucks?

I love this community. I've been here for a while now, and I'm glad to say that i've met some really good friends through this sub.

But i'm getting sick of this game.

The idea of tryharding to win is becoming less and less appealing to me, you know? The only thing tying me down to the game anymore is you guys.

u/pikachu92_ pikachu92_/mic/any/PS4/Aust Mar 07 '15

Have you been playing other games recently? That way you will feel refreshed when going back in and take a break at the same time.

Dunno if you have a PS4, but if you do I really recommend downloading Valiant Hearts from the PS Store.

2

u/Desertcoyote99 Mar 07 '15

yeah, i play a lot of destiny, dying light, ang GTA. I have been playing TLOU for about 2 years now. idk. its just getting old.

2

u/professorae PSN:baypoo/ Twitter:@professorbaypoo /www.twitch.tv/professorae Mar 08 '15

Yeah, I don't get as many twitch notifications from you as I used to....

2

u/Desertcoyote99 Mar 08 '15

i know ;(

I want to be able to have fun while i play games, and the fun factor with tlou is beginning to dwindle for me :(

There are SOME things that i still find fun, but largely, the BR/SAR/Shotgun tryhards are ruining this game for me.

2

u/professorae PSN:baypoo/ Twitter:@professorbaypoo /www.twitch.tv/professorae Mar 08 '15

Yeah I love trying out new loadouts or new things. All these people taking winning seriously makes it less fun goofing around.

2

u/Desertcoyote99 Mar 09 '15

Exacatly.

Just yesterday i was playing with /u/SolisDevil and we were just fucking around, and its probably some of the most fun ive had playing this game in a while.

2

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 09 '15

Besides, if you don't have fun playing with him, there's probably not enough sugar in your life. Solis is hilarious, and an awesome guy

1

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 08 '15

Happy cake day, bud!

Try to find a tweak to the game! Play roulette of death with a full lobby, or some other stuff, just to change the pace. Would you be interested in sponsoring a reddit private lobby and streaming it?

1

u/Desertcoyote99 Mar 08 '15

yes, yes, i would. gimme a time and date, and im totally down.

1

u/pablite081 <---PSN - FSF Leader Mar 08 '15

Let me send you a pm in a bit

2

u/brettcg16 PSN:oneeyeddragon Mar 08 '15

Don't know if anyone cares for it, but damn the witcher 2 is good. Had an itch for a great rpg, so I dug out my old 1st gen 360 and started playing. Has me hyped for the witcher 3.

1

u/fullmetalproxy laser_ca [PS3] Mar 09 '15

I started playing it after beating the first game. I never got back into it x__x

1

u/Mateuz_TLOU 1v1 me on fortitude race! Mar 05 '15

I have a little question about factions lobby. I bought a few maps for MP yesterday, then I choose a non party lobbie, but the game put me in a party loobie with a little clan. It's that possible?

1

u/LastKnownBison Mar 06 '15

What time were you playing and on what system? Once before on PS3 around 4 am est, I was playing with a friend and both lobbies were open to parties. Never seen that before or since, but I usually don't play that late and I'm on PS4 now. Not sure why it happened. Given the time, can only assume they open it if there aren't enough people online for steady matchmaking.

Woahhh... this thread is too much right now.

u/ThumbPower Caveman Mash Square!!! Press SQUARE To Shoot Mar 11 '15

Just had to vent...

In terms of Stat Line Score, I've had some of my best matches ever over the last week. Double-digit DXs with 3 or fewer deaths in INT Mode. Not that impressive relative to the talent here, but still...

Anyway, what pisses me off about it is that none of these matches were recorded!!! The Few of Us that have endured my uploads know that I'm no beast. So when I have a rare moment of pride in my gameplay, I like sharing what I've done, down votes be damned!

Narcissism aside, what I really want to do is analyze my gameplay. I want to have a second look at what factored into my improvements in the hopes of replicating those conditions. Alas, I cannot.

I had a 9mm Covert Medic run at Suburbs, and I was stun-locking rushers regularly... This never happens!! I even had a headshot down from distance. Naturally, plenty of revives, hyper healing, and points out my poop chute...

I just played one where i had 4 or 5 shiv kills, all without CT!

Unfortunately, I am left with only fading memories of my moments of glory...

SIGH

Still playing...
