Hello! Old Jempire officer here to tell you that we definitely aren't dead. We moved on to RIFT, ArcheAge, and Guild Wars 2 for the past 6 years of us playing as a community. Reason why it may seem why we might be dead is due to our website dying out. We may have taken a hiatus to live our lives just recently, but we have definitely not forgotten our days in Spiral Knights. Nonetheless, thanks for including our name in this video, it means a lot that our name hasn't been forgotten!
I miss The Jempire community. I remember the good times I had with y'all. I, unfortunately, was young back when I joined y'all and couldn't afford a nice enough computer to move onto the new games. Would love to reconnect sometime.
Cradle is quite possibly one of the most amazingly beautiful, fascinating, and creative game worlds I've ever seen. A clockwork planet that is like the best of many cool world aesthetics. Steampunk gear world, ancient relic/ruins, and still very adaptable. Best of all there's a fantastic justification for randomly generated levels in that the levels are literally descending through a massive clockwork machine that always changes, giving thematic weight and context for the different kinds of journeys you can have. Plus in my humble opinion the knight characters you play as are pretty unique too. Imagine if this world had a movie animated by the one and only studio Ghibli, imagine the incredible detail sleeping through every frame it would have. I can think of no more absolutely kino of an aesthetic that that.
Currently going through this game again after so many years and I just sit here staring at the backgrounds of this place sometimes. The sky could be turned sideways and I couldn’t help but think how crazy that must look in their eyes.
Omg I didn't see this until now, thanks a lot for the shoutout lol, I was very much experimenting with my art back then. Those commissions were the first ever art pieces I did with a digital tablet, and it was the first time I ever sold art so I had no idea what to value it >w< Also, excellent overview of the game. I gotta get back to it sometime. Get some nostalgia dosage.
Cool to see high quality and new videos of spiral knights! Would love to more! Btw if more ppl did this the game would actually grow quite a bit I think
More people playing it would be something too. I will get back to playing Spiral Knights pretty soon and it has been years since I beat the first or probably second level. I can't remember exactly, but it would be very nice to revisit.
Thanks for uploading this, really enjoyed watching! SK content is rare nowadays so I'm glad that people like you are still motivated to make and upload it.
Nostalgia just hit me like a Train. One of the best Soundtracks ever imo. Would love if the game would gain some popularity again... Hab gesehen das du auch deutsch und Russisch kannst, so wie ich :D Gutes Video!
Ah, Spiral Knights. The nostalgia. Had some fun times with this, but not actively for many years. [Here I did a long text on my nostalgia that somehow turned into a rant about the things I think could have been done better, but meh, REDACTED] Good video man! You covered all the major parts of the game in a good way, and explain in an easy way things it took me quite a while to figure out on my own (and through forums). And the SL part was funny, haha. :D
Step one - Enjoy Step two - Feel the grind more and more the the point of exaustion Step three - spend money to the point of bankrupcy to progress just a tiny bit.
i really miss this game. i joined when SK was being promoted in TF2 and it brought me so much memories. basically when Mist Energy and Crystal Energy was a thing. i didnt have money to keep proceeding through the elevators. when we get to the arenas, the people with Antiquas can carry all newbies LOL. reviving each other with health if we fall. all Haven servers were packed with so much people at the Auction House, it was crazy. till this year.. Haven is so... dead. but when its 8 PM PST, about 5 - 10 people pops up to the Auction House.
I'd love to see development of Spiral Knights revived by the community somehow, kind of like what the Titanfall community did with TF2. It's a pipe dream, but just _imagine_ what this game could look like if the annoying progression was smoothed out and kinda predatory energy system was reworked or removed-- new content expanding on the game's world and gear... I probably shouldn't think too much about this, it can't be healthy lol EDIT: ACTUALLY!! I joined a discord server for "Knight Launcher," which is a spiral knights launcher that optimises the game and some other stuff I think. I didn't know this game had a modding community?? Definitely keep your eye on this space if you care and haven't been already.
Liked! I remember playing this back in 2011-2015 then did some international moves for work and just stopped. Saw a random bookmark I had to the forums and decided to see if there was any content on TH-cam. Definitely nostalgic.
God Spiral Knights. This and Global Agenda were the first two games I played on Steam. I remember taking a hiatus for a bit then returning to the Forge and the pets; did very little to keep me in, but the moment they remove the Forge I wouldn't mind coming back in and draggin some friends in with me
Something you didn't really mention is how bouncy everything is. there are lots of top down loot based games out there, but I don't think I've ever played another top down game with the amount of knockback and bouncing around spiral knights has. Oh did you forget to go over the battle sprites?
I'm a bit late to this video but about a week ago, a friend of mine mentioned the game to me while I was streaming. He mentioned that the game is REALLY good but is very much an oldie at this point. I'm not sure how long he has been playing for but he mentioned trying to pull off Shadow missions much more efficiently, so he's probably a pretty experienced player. Either way, two days ago I recently got into the game and streaming it. People kept saying I was prolly the last newbie left to experience this game before it dies off. Either way, my honest opinion is that I've never had so much fun in a game as with Spiral Knights. The fact that it was only less than 500mb really made me suspicious until I played it. I keep getting told that this game will become incredibly grindy, but to be fair I spent 4200 hours in Warframe so grind is my middle name at this point. I really look forward to spending more time with this game though, I just hope I have enough time to reach endgame before it dies...
That's partially why I made the video in the first place, to document it before it dies. I probably wont anytime soon, but it's pretty stagnant. If you want to play it together sometime, give me a shout. BlitherPaladin on Steam.
@@HardmodeEnabled oh I'd be more than happy to play! I'll prolly stream and record it too. I imagine people would want to see my opinion once I fully develop into a more experienced player.
@@plasmodius9449 honestly I have been more casual about the game for the last 4 months but I am progressing well. Still not at the final boss though in my story quest, although I do try to sneak myself into those fights with my terrible gear XD I play Bomber now and it's currently my favourite class so far. Melee was fun but the lag makes it impossible to time my defenses. Guns are fun too but I don't get much of a kick out of it as planting bombs everywhere, especially the vortex bomb mixed in with the cluster bomb (can't remember the names, still learning things. Considering I'm pretty casual about it rn, I didn't really take the time to learn the deeper mechanics of the game yet). I'm hoping that there's such a thing as a summoner build using pets because my poison pet is really fun to mess with. Might look it up later actually.. As for streaming it, I did get my mic upgraded and I've been aching to play it more often so I might start streaming it again. I did make Warframe content on TH-cam recently though, so that's been fun. Maybe I'll reach the point of making SK content soon where people won't yell at me for being too newbie to talk about builds. I hope so anyways lol Oh one more thing. I have to say that this game is very unique compared to all the other games I've played. Not in the sense of gameplay or builds, but rather the sense of challenge, it's roguelite game design and the community as a whole. Prolly the biggest mess of a beautiful collection of a community.
yeah i remember i died a lot in shadow lair. i mainly focus my skill on lockdown than PvE...but i did grind a lot of vanadukes. i can clear most danger missions with just 2 swords no tickets and swiftstrike buckler(think playing lockdown made me a lot better at dodging and sword play) and emergency rev. but shadow lair im not good enough and might need at least 8-10 sparks rip oh yeah the elevator pass...i was a knight elite back then grinding snarbolax normal. also i bought 3 tails tails...1.5 m and i regret selling it and got 500k back i did quit for 3 years and during the cat event i actually found 3 kat books. i had a laptop and a decent PC at the time and alt grinded that's how i got 3 books in 1 event. 2 books found in the same day in the first week and the last one got it on the second last day of even. sold 2 kept 1 and it was enough for me to get the kat armor to 5 star. shame i never really used the full kat armor after first day use. i didn't grinded ever since as i feel finding 3 books im set for life in game. and no, i do not have the mix master blaster
yeah, I thought that it had something to do with witches as I know Russian and Belarusian as well, and witcher's would be "ведьменский" - "vedmenski" and circle would be "круг" - "Krug". So vedmenski krug, similar to wiedzminski krag.
im personally a generalist gunner with the pepperbox but i am not afraid to get upclose and personal when the occasion arises with a good ol' elemental sword
found this while checking if spiral knights is still alive outside the game itself (and discord) and i wanted to see what someone had to say about the game and i think you've caught everything about the game, the good and the bad and as a ex-member of the Wiedźmiński Krąg i gotta say i got really surprised when you've started mentioning all these guilds, most of them i still see pop up on haven really great vid
Good video. (Some errors though, so hit read more if you see this) I really agree that the change of the ui and the reviving system especially was stupid. In particular the reviving system killed a part of the core of the game, that is, fighting together. Since now everyone is on their own, while back then you could sacrifice half your remaining health to revive a friend to that amount. Really miss that. And I gotta say that the forging system is bad,but it's livable with I'd say, especially since aftwr a while you'll be rolling in all ranks of fire crystals except the highest ones. Some errors: Maximum damage has a specific meaning, but what you want to say doesn't really have an official name however. I don't really call it by anythibg myself, and would say [super] effective or something. The progression is, imo, easier than before due to no cap on playtime daily and no need to farm all the energy for your crafts. Danger missions also change daily. And (Treasure) Vaults are not event bound and are found the same way as the Treasure Troves. Tokens are not only found in events and pvp, the two first you showed are examples of the two main categories, the ones from loot blocks which are used to buy useless trinkets to sell for crowns and the ones dropped from bosses which are used to buy certain gear. Krogmo coins are used to buy recipes and materials for trinkets mainly, and also the bombhead costumes. Not accessories. (Also should've mentioned Lanzer Knightz who have done a lot for the wiki and tutorials in particular, and I personally feel like Brick Squad who was top tier in T2 back then should've been mentioned, although dead beyond all salvation now.)
Explaining the damage system indepth would have been cool, but it's taxing for people who just want to get the general concept of it all. Also heating is pretty annoying, it may be easier to craft but got like 3 5* weapons that haven't reached level 10 and it's been 2 years.
Lanzer not too familiar with, however I do remember Brick Squad. By accessories I meant costumes, forgot that in spiral knights those things are two very distinct things. Danger missions are an error on my part and Treasure Troves used to be called Vaults - so I am just use to calling them that. Thank's for pointing these things out though!
My Senpai was a Knight named "Zverolka". Sucks that she doesn't play anymore but I'll never forget her. We're still in the same guild so it's not all bad!
It's funny diving back into this game since I used to play it to death when it released back in 2011 and 2012, hopped back and forth here and there Was showing my wife and her family this game because it's exactly up their alley But then I saw this video by you hardmode enabled, I went wait a minute I know those guys I'm in the discord server Funny how fate and small worlds work
Precisely, I sometimes run into aquaintences in completely different country who just happen to be at the same spot at the same time. Played this game since 2012
Dude, no other game has affected me quite like Spiral Knights....these days the tedious heating + forge system is preventing me from properly returning
There should like seriously be a series of expansions involving the Nine. I would love to fight more of them, Having just Warmaster Seerus is meh. Also I need to know what happens with Herex, but I am not immensely confident that this will happen. Pray for that tier 4...............................................................................................
i'm kinda angry against the devs, more than not uploading content, they break the dreams of some sk youtubers, they should care about sk like their baby, it has so much potential. Even today, i feel like grey heaven don't even play "their" game and just bought the licence to earn passive rewards from supply depot trades...(for an upgrade i don't want only some new missions and weapons, i'm talking about deep mechanics and in-game economy for example, binding system.) I think, EVERYONE in this game is hoping for content and activity from the dev's but there is no response from grey havens, how could we make them react? If all players were sending e-mails or stopping buying energy or pack with real bucks we could make grey haven react. That was my though about sk, i'm french so don't pay attention to my mistakes please, have a good day!
damn, it hurts seeing how the starting field is just empty. I left the game around 2014 and got back at it recently, thankfully I was able to retrieve my old account. I made a new character just so I can play through the whole thing again, and damn it was empty. Every now and then I use my older alt character to check on the guild hall, but I'm still the only one going in. Good thing is there are new players coming in every now and then, and I've been offering to craft and giving away 3star and below items if I catch them around haven. If any new players catches my old alt named Adelh around haven, feel free to ask stuff. I'll keep crafting as long as I have enough orbs. I'm just farming around with my characters for orbs anyway
Hey, for my birthday i asked my friends to play sk with me but i lost my account from 4 years ago and i honestly need help giving them different 3 star starting weapons(diff for each one) to hook them up in the game. Was wondering if you could give me a few? Any sword or gun will do even if it's only a 3 star blaster hahaha i'm the "Clydocafe" that added you
@@equipe4399 Hey! I'm currently farming advanced orbs with my main character. Drop rate sucks. I'll message you with the alt regarding the details on what items you're looking for
Awww... I wish this game got bigger kick. Simple, but still hard and prestigious. At the end of this video I was reminded why I left... Mist and energy... Elevators... God I died there. Oh right I got into the game because of the helmet for TF2. I was reminded of this as lost ark is about to come out. I was really into the art style of the game, and the feel of it.
Man, I really wish they’d work on this game and make it better. It was honestly a very charming game when it first game out. Even with the limited energy I had as a free player, I had so much fun. Then it became a really grindy game and I just stopped after that. It wasn’t fun anymore. Collecting crystals became pointless, which idk why they changed that cuz I think that was a very fun aspect of the game that, when turned in, could change up the levels. Hate that they ruined so much of the game to the point that it’s just a chore to play.
I guess i shoud be glad codint join that Shadow lair Run when i got invitation for it that wont NOT End well with me being in there... Also that SL Part of video make me laugh little bit xD AHEM Nice job doing this video tho honesty i don't think i have Any rights to have be mentioned as someone who just jumps in and out of the game (mostly because of my Boyfriend) im mostly a Nobody in that community The Forge progression as you mention really annoying and im one of the people who cannot enjoy the game because of it like having a 5* Gear and to get crystals for it you either have to do FSC (FIreStorm Cidadel) Or DnN (Dreams and Nightmares) To get small amount of crystals Arcade also works but it dosent seem to be awarding that much crystals... And we don't count Shadow lair cuz....yeah.... (Anyway sorry for semi-bad English here that how i usually am =S)
Unfortunately I’m not one of the cool kids XD tho I did kidnap solotron for a future video because I need to beat dreams and nightmares XD (just a disclaimer I didn’t actually kidnap him if it wasn’t obvious)
now im just going to say this at the end he says its worth nothing but your time.. This is true but im a solo player and as a solo player on this game.. ITS THAT ON STERIODS YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU PLAY SOLO.. this game is MEANT for group play and i have played this game SINCE ITS RELEASE AND IM STILL ONLY 6-2
@@HardmodeEnabled yes i agree too that aswell but i felt like alot more people should know that the game is more tolerable and fun with friends and removes less of the grind i've played this game for so long but i never asked anyone for help so it was probably just me or that i just like doing things solo
@@HardmodeEnabled but overall it is still a great video and describes what spiral knights today is like though since i never seen the endgame or late game i cant really get a full on honest opinion to the game
Actually neither. I know three languages and all require different tongue position configuration to pronounce (Russian, English, German) English is my second.

Would love to reconnect sometime.
wtf jempires been on gw2? ive played gw2 for many years too
I swear every game i've ever loved either comes to a sad ending or no one else likes
For real
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I feel this would explode on the switch
I never even thought about that.. This game would be so smooth on Switch
For the longest time, I thought a console or even mobile version of Spiral Knights would be so fun
Padman531 time to play spiral knights on the steam switch
It would honestly
steam deck does what switch don’t

I miss this game
@@deleteduser3455 Same. :(
I'd love for this game to make a comeback. It was my favorite game back in the day.

Let's all hope that one day someone will invest in this gem, Amen.
I'd love for Spiral Knights to be more populated.
this review gave me war flashbacks to being a kid not knowing anything about the game, but still trying my hardest to win. This game is a work of art.
Thanks for uploading this, really enjoyed watching! SK content is rare nowadays so I'm glad that people like you are still motivated to make and upload it.
If Grey Havens keeps it up, this game might actually be the first unknown immortal game.
Nostalgia just hit me like a Train. One of the best Soundtracks ever imo.
Would love if the game would gain some popularity again...
Hab gesehen das du auch deutsch und Russisch kannst, so wie ich :D
Gutes Video!
SK saved me and my low spec pc.
Great vid man, I learned a lot!

Hopefully I can play this again during the summertime
I hope that this game would be just like in 2012, they should change some things so that players would come back :( I miss the old days.
i also remember when the rescue camp was full of people
man i wish someone would make a sequel game or maybe a prequel about the "morai wars"
This Nostalgia, nicely done! I used to play this game so much back in the day. 2012-2012, 5k hours in game.
wish some big company would come take spiral knights by the hand and hoist im up bcs this is my child hood game, would hate to see it die.
i really miss this game. i joined when SK was being promoted in TF2 and it brought me so much memories.
basically when Mist Energy and Crystal Energy was a thing.
i didnt have money to keep proceeding through the elevators.

Danger missions also change daily.
And (Treasure) Vaults are not event bound and are found the same way as the Treasure Troves.
Tokens are not only found in events and pvp, the two first you showed are examples of the two main categories, the ones from loot blocks which are used to buy useless trinkets to sell for crowns and the ones dropped from bosses which are used to buy certain gear.
Krogmo coins are used to buy recipes and materials for trinkets mainly, and also the bombhead costumes. Not accessories.
(Also should've mentioned Lanzer Knightz who have done a lot for the wiki and tutorials in particular, and I personally feel like Brick Squad who was top tier in T2 back then should've been mentioned, although dead beyond all salvation now.)
Explaining the damage system indepth would have been cool, but it's taxing for people who just want to get the general concept of it all. Also heating is pretty annoying, it may be easier to craft but got like 3 5* weapons that haven't reached level 10 and it's been 2 years.
Lanzer not too familiar with, however I do remember Brick Squad. By accessories I meant costumes, forgot that in spiral knights those things are two very distinct things. Danger missions are an error on my part and Treasure Troves used to be called Vaults - so I am just use to calling them that. Thank's for pointing these things out though!
Very nice guide to the game!
Dang that music hits hard :(
Well, i guess i'll log in today and run some FSC. Who knows, maybe i'll find a new guild and i'll be playing again....
when you just want to play this game, but the server says no
My Senpai was a Knight named "Zverolka". Sucks that she doesn't play anymore but I'll never forget her. We're still in the same guild so it's not all bad!
It's funny diving back into this game since I used to play it to death when it released back in 2011 and 2012, hopped back and forth here and there
Was showing my wife and her family this game because it's exactly up their alley
But then I saw this video by you hardmode enabled, I went wait a minute I know those guys I'm in the discord server
Funny how fate and small worlds work
Precisely, I sometimes run into aquaintences in completely different country who just happen to be at the same spot at the same time. Played this game since 2012
Dude, no other game has affected me quite like Spiral Knights....these days the tedious heating + forge system is preventing me from properly returning
It’s a great game
i play this just now, still, i new game for me,i feel attached Spiral Knights
Thank you wery much.
There should like seriously be a series of expansions involving the Nine. I would love to fight more of them, Having just Warmaster Seerus is meh. Also I need to know what happens with Herex, but I am not immensely confident that this will happen. Pray for that tier 4...............................................................................................
I know cfynar ingame and i can bet he didnt die once
Great overview! Thanks!
i'm kinda angry against the devs, more than not uploading content, they break the dreams of some sk youtubers, they should care about sk like their baby, it has so much potential. Even today, i feel like grey heaven don't even play "their" game and just bought the licence to earn passive rewards from supply depot trades...(for an upgrade i don't want only some new missions and weapons, i'm talking about deep mechanics and in-game economy for example, binding system.) I think, EVERYONE in this game is hoping for content and activity from the dev's but there is no response from grey havens, how could we make them react? If all players were sending e-mails or stopping buying energy or pack with real bucks we could make grey haven react. That was my though about sk, i'm french so don't pay attention to my mistakes please, have a good day!
17:05 Lol, I've seen Death-Key ingame x)
That’s ma boi serjinxable as in I was on his 2018 New Years live stream where I was wrestling my dad at the end it was hilarious
I think I know bright flash
Cool cool! Very nice :)
Decent rundown. The game is still a unique gem :)
this game for me is Warframe lego version :D
damn, it hurts seeing how the starting field is just empty. I left the game around 2014 and got back at it recently, thankfully I was able to retrieve my old account. I made a new character just so I can play through the whole thing again, and damn it was empty. Every now and then I use my older alt character to check on the guild hall, but I'm still the only one going in. Good thing is there are new players coming in every now and then, and I've been offering to craft and giving away 3star and below items if I catch them around haven. If any new players catches my old alt named Adelh around haven, feel free to ask stuff. I'll keep crafting as long as I have enough orbs. I'm just farming around with my characters for orbs anyway
Hey, for my birthday i asked my friends to play sk with me but i lost my account from 4 years ago and i honestly need help giving them different 3 star starting weapons(diff for each one) to hook them up in the game. Was wondering if you could give me a few? Any sword or gun will do even if it's only a 3 star blaster hahaha i'm the "Clydocafe" that added you
@@equipe4399 Hey! I'm currently farming advanced orbs with my main character. Drop rate sucks. I'll message you with the alt regarding the details on what items you're looking for
@@Sanggane369 thanks~ i will be online on April 15 hopefully with a lot of friends hahahah
Very good video, if not a little dry. 7/10 would watch again.
Awww... I wish this game got bigger kick. Simple, but still hard and prestigious.
At the end of this video I was reminded why I left... Mist and energy... Elevators... God I died there. Oh right I got into the game because of the helmet for TF2.
I was reminded of this as lost ark is about to come out.
I was really into the art style of the game, and the feel of it.
I was part of Wish Feather for a while but left after abandoning the game. Still in the discord server
brilliant video!!!
Man, I really wish they’d work on this game and make it better. It was honestly a very charming game when it first game out. Even with the limited energy I had as a free player, I had so much fun. Then it became a really grindy game and I just stopped after that. It wasn’t fun anymore. Collecting crystals became pointless, which idk why they changed that cuz I think that was a very fun aspect of the game that, when turned in, could change up the levels. Hate that they ruined so much of the game to the point that it’s just a chore to play.
Sk is alive again dude woooo
i came back to this video because thumbnail updated with desna lol
yeah this is like the third time I changed it
I guess i shoud be glad codint join that Shadow lair Run when i got invitation for it that wont NOT End well with me being in there...
Also that SL Part of video make me laugh little bit xD
AHEM
Nice job doing this video tho honesty i don't think i have Any rights to have be mentioned as someone who just jumps in and out of the game (mostly because of my Boyfriend) im mostly a Nobody in that community
The Forge progression as you mention really annoying and im one of the people who cannot enjoy the game because of it like having a 5* Gear and to get crystals for it you either have to do FSC (FIreStorm Cidadel) Or DnN (Dreams and Nightmares) To get small amount of crystals Arcade also works but it dosent seem to be awarding that much crystals...
And we don't count Shadow lair cuz....yeah....
(Anyway sorry for semi-bad English here that how i usually am =S)
Dude how do cross the fences in the arcade mode
damm i missed this game
I wonder if there will be SK Private Servers, everything could be pretty much the same but the Forge
They would make so much bank if they put this game on consoles
Unfortunately I’m not one of the cool kids XD tho I did kidnap solotron for a future video because I need to beat dreams and nightmares XD (just a disclaimer I didn’t actually kidnap him if it wasn’t obvious)
Sexy knights missing. Oof.
Jk. Great video tho. Thanks for helping me teach my new guildies easier.
Ahaha, I actually remember Sexy Knights. Gee, I am remembering quite a few now that I think about it. Should have mentioned Unity.
I just played it
Wow it's realy amazing game❤❤
Nice!!
Love it
Don't make me wanna play this game again man...
It is useless to resist.
How can you use vitapods
you pick them up and you are good to go!
no Unity?
Yeah, I remember Unity, but again as I said in the video, it was the ones of the top of my head.
12:05 😂😂😂
now im just going to say this at the end he says its worth nothing but your time.. This is true but im a solo player and as a solo player on this game.. ITS THAT ON STERIODS
YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU PLAY SOLO.. this game is MEANT for group play and i have played this game SINCE ITS RELEASE AND IM STILL ONLY 6-2
I was just implying that the game is free which is why costs nothing but your time that you spend playing it :)
@@HardmodeEnabled yes i agree too that aswell but i felt like alot more people should know that the game is more tolerable and fun with friends and removes less of the grind
i've played this game for so long but i never asked anyone for help so it was probably just me or that i just like doing things solo
@@HardmodeEnabled but overall it is still a great video and describes what spiral knights today is like though since i never seen the endgame or late game i cant really get a full on honest opinion to the game
Omg and mango chick lol btw if it’s not obvious I’m the legendary wolfcs (really not that legendary)
Do you still play SK.
From time to time.
@@HardmodeEnabled can you help me grind some crowns haha
The game still working?
yeah, population slightly increased too
@@blitherpaladin7171 really?
Man i recently get it but with this long history i think i lost the good days of the game xD, maybe i should uninstall it
ля кстати помню ты давным-давно часто в эту игру играл. вроде прикольная была вот тока зачем гайд делать по такой игре емае
so basically, the game died , isn't fun anymore as a noobie (me)
🥲
Wait, can I join that discord server, bro?
Yeah, I don't have a link for it - but you can ask around on the Steam forums - someone will get you one!
are you american trying to do a fake accent or a non american trying to do an american accent?
Actually neither. I know three languages and all require different tongue position configuration to pronounce (Russian, English, German) English is my second.
cant go outside so i must date people in game
