the only fun can ever be found when you play for playing instead of having a second job. which means the only fun exists at low PS. except the teammates are so atrocious a single game can wipe the smile off your face permanently. so at the end of the day crossout may as well be a pve game

I like collecting new things, and at this point I have a lot of items. But I never really feel the pressure to be more efficient at grinding.
I know that once I have everything, some of the thrill of the game will disappear. So I want to slow my progress enough that I never catch up to the rate of new items being introduced.
Also, when I get a new item, I like to spend at least a couple weeks trying out different build concepts and improving my skills with it. I love when I get proficient enough with a gun or cabin that is seen as weak that I can take out some meta builds with it. I probably have the most fun with the worst items.
The main BPs are all I need. If I also purchased the mini-BPs I would have a lot more stuff, but I donāt think it would help me enjoy playing more. And I would feel more pressure to do all those challenges, instead of just having fun doing whatever I feel like.
I donāt want to treat Crossout as a shopping simulator, where the goal is just to collect more stuff. For me, itās all about making sure that Iām switching up my builds often enough that playing doesnāt get stale.

I took over 2 years off last time I took a break but Iām soon gonna prob play it once a week instead of giving it up outright like I did the last time. I know 4000 hours of straight gemaplay broke me the last time so I donāt think Iām gonna do that again just lay off that;s it.

I played drop before back when I had more guitars. I use to tune my 2004 usa jackson soloist in either d standard or drop d but I did that out of necessity due to it having a bowed neck which mayed it hard to press the strings in standard tuning. I sold it for 1500 despite the bowed neck and I culled my guitars down to the 2 best ones that werenāt lemons which is my 2003 usa soloist and my 2008 mij dinky dk2. Even my fender was a lemon and sold that for 900.
Also coincidentally 2004 was the year jackson got sold off to fender and it donāt surprise me that jacksons quality control might of took a little hit right between 2003 to 2004. My 2003 and 2004 are like total different guitars despite being the same model.

Iāve owned a lot of guitars over my life, but most of them cheap vintage finds. Similar to Crossout, I find it hard to pass up a bargain.
But over time I got over the collector impulse, and pared things down to the basics.
One solid body Yamaha, with a mixture of single coil and humbuckers. And one Gretch hollow body with humbuckers and a Bigsby vibrato. Between the two, I can get most of the tones I like.
But I also have a bass, a lap steel, a couple vintage tube amps, and of course a bunch of pedals.
Unfortunately I rarely play anymore. Turns out I need an active band to get motivated to practice, and I donāt have the time or energy for gigging anymore.
At least I actually still use my drum machines and synths, as they allow me to be the conductor of my robot orchestra, and thatās still fun to do on my own.
I never got into drop D or other alternate tunings though. I rely on muscle memory too much, and donāt like having to think about where my fingers are going next. The lap steel is the exception, as it depends on open tunings. These days Iām using the classic C6 tuning, as it allows for good access to minor voicings as well as major. But I am way too out of practice these days to do much with that instrument. Requires too much math in my head.

I donāt know music theory either I just plays what i ears. If I am learning a song and the tabs are bad then I just slow the song down in reaper so I can discern the individual notes it is not that difficult but it is time consuming learning songs with bad tabs cause I got to fill the gaps my own self. Writing is different I just throw mud at the wall until something sticks lol.

Drums is too high energy for me, got to move 4 limbs as opposed to 2 and I too lazy for that but drummers are every bit as musicians as the guitar players and you can be both too.
That may be true, but that doesnāt mean that drummer jokes arenāt funny.
What did the drummer say right before they got kicked out of their band? āHey guys, how about we try one of my songs?ā
