No he was the kid that had music blaring over his mic and screaming in between shitty emo songs.

I have a few friends with whom I play Chivalry 2 semi-regularly. We get a music bot, mute the game volume, and blast all sorts of game/movie soundtracks as we play. Dare I say, it's a transcendent experience.
This caliber player? You're on your own. I still don't know what the hell happened. But I appreciate that it's a simple game to learn and hard to master. You instantly know when you're outclassed.
Duels are a little sweaty, especially if you're console vs PC. I prefer the 64 player conquest mode. Always use 3rd person; make sure your sensitivity is 3.5-4 (at least on controller) or you'll look like Jori Lehtera. You'll get used to it.
Don't hold block -- time it with their swing. If you hold it, you'll just get kicked which leaves you defenseless. So, kick someone holding block. If you tap block and match their swing (overhead, jab, slash) as it's coming, you get a (blue perfect) counter, which drains their stamina but not yours. Yellow counters still drain yours. No stamina = no block.
Feints are key. The ol' classic is starting a slash then quickly hitting overhead/jab. Or whatever combo you want. You're hoping your opponent tries to counter the first move, misjudges it, then it's a free hit on the second. You can also charge attacks for heavy strikes to mix up the timing -- it's ALL about timing. That includes looking down/up/left/right to accelerate or slow down your swing. Like looking at your feet on an overhead to hit faster. You can also crouch and side step to get around their block/swing.
I'm a greatsword guy myself for crowd control and reach. The trick is to get a counter when outnumbered because it gives you free parries from other attacks in your FOV for a half second. Hit that sucker and then drag across the screen. Here's one of my finer moments, you can see a lot of what I'm talking about:

Isn't that a VR game? I think my friend brought it over for New Year's a few years back.

Has diablo been patched since the last patch everyone freaked out over? Wondering if it’s time to go back to it yet.

How does that make it into the game? They updated it to make it easier to switch all the equipment yet you have to click the L stick and set it for 6 different uniforms

They only care about HUT. Home and away equipment options aren't bad idea if that was their intention (it likely wasn't) but to have to edit names and skating styles for each is ridiculous.
Games been out for 3 weeks and they still haven't released a productive patch. Bugs everywhere. I was on a club where our jerseys were clitched so we had stock black jerseys for home and away. Naturally we were away every game. Nightmare.
The store is always bugged. Expired items showing. Can't scroll up. Character doesn't rotate to see the items.
That's just the off ice stuff.

Two and a half weeks until the new Call of Duty, so I decided to try Rainbow Six Siege because I've been watching a lunatic R6 streamer on Twitch, who made it look interesting, and the Xbox store has the Ultimate edition 65% off for the next few days, down from $79.99.
Anyone know if it's any good?

Honestly haven't been playing too much, but this is what I've got so far. Been playing more CoD and CS2 instead.
The Werner evo card is insane, by the way.
Hows yours?

Nothing special. My pack luck has been abysmal. It is so hard to get f***ing coins in this game without spending real money. I had ~500k and most of it went to Rodrygo. I kinda botched the first round of Evos. I just finished Politano though.Honestly haven't been playing too much, but this is what I've got so far. Been playing more CoD and CS2 instead.

You did the Xavi SBC? How is he? I wanted to but Futbin said not to.
I just pulled Rudiger* and Casemiro in an 85+ x2. Don't think Casemiro is usable but good fodder I guess. I have to figure out a way to get Rudiger in the squad. Probably swap out Camavinga for a traditional LB. I have better GKs, but Lloris is there for the links.
Got you. The rest of Arsenal went into the Rodrygo SBC.

Yeah, my pack luck has been horrendous too. Plus the amount of duplicates and women bait (that damn french PSG striker…) have been insane. I don’t think I’ve had over 170k coins so I’ve hardly done any SBCs.
Xavi is mediocre. Feels slower than I thought he would, but I really wanted the playstyle+ R1 dribbling, so it’s not awful. Plus, quality Bundesliga options for attacking players feel scarce.
