quake, unreal tournament, CS, these were I think the top 3 competitive FPS back in the old days

silk bolt

but yeah quake was dope

soft locust

Wait rlly?

Maybe they'll finally make a good pvp game

rotund gyro
soft locust
#

ngl from the art doesn't look bad

rotund gyro
#

naughty dog are also making a pvp exclusive game

#

and it is also rumoured that sony has had talks with nexon to make a horizon mmo

#

Hello Povich, Blues.

pastel jolt
#

Povish is such a good egg

austere crag
#

But yeah the credit system is weird

#

I'm not going to say my full opinion of it since it only started in 1989 and it's biased against a good chunk of people-

worthy hamlet
#

debt-worthiness

pastel jolt
#

the 25usd/month makes no sense though

austere crag
#

I worded that a little weirdly

#

It's not that you have to spend 25 a month, you need to pay back a small amount of whatever you currently owe a month.

pastel jolt
#

ah so it's %?

#

gotcha gotcha

austere crag
#

So your credit score can be high while you still owe 25 thousand dollars because you're paying the minimum down.

rotund gyro
pastel jolt
#

so it basically incentivizes people to get more and more in debt

austere crag
#

Yes

#

I just use mine to grab collectors editions for games lulz

pastel jolt
austere crag
#

I got the one for Gotham Knights

rotund gyro
#

oh no

austere crag

This is the one I didn't crop out the donut in the background

rotund gyro
#

of all the games to go in debt over, this one wasn't it chief

#

πŸ˜”

austere crag
#

Oh

#

It's one of my favorite games this year

rotund gyro
#

oh no

#

it should have been saints row

austere crag
#

I will say the plot that was sold to me was not the one I got though

#

|| So the entire plot of the game was supposed to be that Bruce supposedly got killed by the Court after getting too close to discovering it but it's actually Ra's Al Ghul randomly spawns into the batcave and killed Bruce and he barely got into a investigation that was tangentially related to the court.|| Spoilers for the start of Gotham Knights

#

I'm thoroughly disappointed about Forza Horizon 5 rn...

trim wind
#

the game is just.. its basically not as good as forza Horzion 4 was.. I don't want to sound thankless because they did add a ton of cars that were paid DLC in FH4.. but.. the world is less engaging.. the eventlab and super7 choices are.. weird..

#

the forzathon in FH4 used to be like 50+ cars going nuts for idk how long.. now its like... 3-4 cars average

#

it doesn't feel.. alive

#

they make poor choices for the series too imho

#

THERE ARE OVER 0 fords in the game D:

#

mustangs are cool and all but please..

placid turtle
#

is a hot pocket a sandwich or a calzone

austere crag
placid turtle
#

That doesn't answer my question

#

Because like we all know, tacos are sandwiches

#

So would burritos be a calzone

#

Does being fully encased change it some way

#

Yes

#

Not new, old

#

Everyone knows taco is sandwich

#

@trim wind @winged summit you hear about that big apartment fire in Amsterdam

#

This place called Startblok Riekerhaven, container homes for students and refugees, caught fire (suspected arson)

#

I know a bunch of people who live there

#

One of the units mostly burned down to the ground and the rest of it has to be demolished

#

Someone sent me this photo

#

75 apartments now uninhabitable, lots of people lost everything, missing/dead pets everywhere

#

So shocking indeed

#

It made frontpage NOS news so I thought maybe you heard as well

#

Fair enough, red pandas > current events

#

Really surreal to have people in group chats I'm in going "well fuck I'm homeless now"

trim wind
silk bolt
#

Its temporary housing made from shipping containers

#

I've been there many times and it's shit quality

#

So that wasn't very surprising to me

trim wind
#

no me neither

trim wind
silk bolt
#

I heard it from the people who lost them

#

This is one

#

She was inside the studio apartment when the owner (Chris) had to evacuate and was too afraid to come out from beneath the bed so he had to leave her behind

#

That studio apartment was entirely destroyed

#

But he left the door open so he hopes that she fled

#

@trim wind

silk bolt
#

And now it's in the news

soft locust

we have 5 cats, i doubt we'd be able to get them all out if something like that ever happened

can only hope it never does

austere crag
#

I have replaced all of my lights in my room with daylight lights

#

I, and by extension, my room, are now glowing.

trim wind
#

Especially not if its notorious for being made poorly

silk bolt
#

The fire consumed most of the unit over the course of 5+ hours, it didn't start as a raging inferno. Everyone was evacuated before it started spreading properly, which is why there were no human injuries

#

Hard to say what you would or wouldn't have done tbh

trim wind
#

I understand!

silk bolt
#

Just tragic all round

trim wind
#

Oh yeah, I cannot imagine how devastating it must have been

pastel jolt
#

let's move the football talk here @silk bolt

#

really disappointed in Brazil though

silk bolt
#

I'm sure Brazil is disappointed in Brazil

#

They haven't been the same since Germany dismantled them

#

That was some generational trauma type beat

pastel jolt
#

had no idea Dani Alves still played even lmao

He does?? Goddamn

Don't sleep on Antony though

#

That guy is goooood

#

I hope he gets a good amount of playtime

pastel jolt
#

well at least they're definitely getting out of groups

silk bolt
#

You got the draw on hand?

pastel jolt
#

the groups? yeah one sec

silk bolt
#

Oh yeah

#

I hope Sommer is fit for Switzerland

#

Otherwise they're really handicapped

#

That's the only serious competition for Brazil in that group I think

soft locust
#

Got France Denmark and Tunisia on my team

pastel jolt
#

I'd love to see an African team make it out of groups though

soft locust

πŸ’ͺ

silk bolt
#

We should make it out of group A pretty handily too. I'm hoping for first place

pastel jolt
#

oh yeah Netherlands definitely making it out

silk bolt

Senegal might not even Mane

pastel jolt

I'm also really interested in Portugal

We can't fumble this

you don't think it'll be Netherlands & Senegal making it out?

What was that one legendary Aussie player. Tim something?

I remember him being good

Hahahaha

#

Well there you go

#

I just remembered Norway didn't qualify

#

No blond giant 😦

#

Kinda funny at the same time. But I would've loved to see Haaland play at the WC

pastel jolt
#

that guy is big

silk bolt
#

And fast

pastel jolt
#

always funny to see him just storm through people

silk bolt
#

How is he so big and so fast at the same time?

pastel jolt
#

I want whatever they feed him

silk bolt
#

He's like Lukaku but he's got a jet engine

pastel jolt
#

Lukaku feels like a titan from AoT

silk bolt
#

LMAOOO

pastel jolt
#

like yeah he's strong but boy is he slow

silk bolt
#

And injured a lot, right?

pastel jolt
#

ever seen the face he makes when he runs? dude is honestly super scary HAHA

pastel jolt
silk bolt
#

I don't really watch club football, I get really into the EC and WC whenever they roll around but I zone out the rest of the time

#

Or Ajax has to get really far in the CL or something

pastel jolt
#

oh man Ajax had a really good couple years

#

kinda miss seeing it around tbh

silk bolt
#

Yeah that was tight

#

Won't be long before Schreuder gets fired I think and then maybe we'll see

#

But Ten Hag leaving at the same time as a lot of those star players really ended that streak

pastel jolt
#

yeah this is the last WC with many of the stars we know and love

silk bolt
#

Truueeee. End of an era

pastel jolt
#

kind of melancholic really

#

time to vibe to 2010's anthem dance

silk bolt
#

It's funny how it's kinda coinciding with the end of the Big Three era in tennis

pastel jolt
#

ooooh right

#

oh man we're really growing old notLike

We are LOL

silk bolt
#

That was a very memorable WC for me for obvious reasons but I'll never forget the damn vuvuzelas either lmaooo

pastel jolt

HAHA

silk bolt
#

Robben in front of the goal though 😭

#

So close and yet so far

#

Actually felt my soul leaving my body

And of course Iniesta scores at the end

Ah well we got them good 4 years later

oh man, I think I still have my picture with Robben and Ribery somewhere laying around

You have a picture with them??

#

Did you go to a Bayern match?

Ribery was very nice

and Robben was kind of intimidating with his frown but really nice dude 🀣

Intimidate them with the frown for a hot second and then BAM

I couldn't get a picture with Lewa though sad_friend

He looks like Johnny Sins and Andrew Tate had a kid

Oh wait Poland qualified

#

Yooo let's go Lewa

pastel jolt
#

kinda felt bad for him to see him get wrecked by his own team

silk bolt
#

What happened?

pastel jolt
#

the FCB vs Bayern game

#

he recently moved to Barcelona KEKW

#

keep in mind the goal total of their past 5 or so games is 18-2 or something KEKW

silk bolt

Hahaha I was about to say

#

Doesn't Bayern always dismantle Barca

pastel jolt

it's honestly very sad seeing Barca become like this

#

take me back to the Ronaldinho days notLike

Oh man, what a player that was

after the Bayonetta debacle I'd much rather wait for a court case to happen

bethesda decides to write that text saying mick attacked them

I think that's the best way Bethesda could deal with it, since the medium article went viral they needed to make a statement

if this goes to court, which I really hope it does. I can confidently say that Mick might win

The snow has been crazy here!

Apparently a high pressure area is coming from France up North so its a whopping 1 degree centigrade

anyone watched the world cup opening game yesterday? πŸ‘€

austere crag
#

No

silk bolt
#

realized that Qatar wasn't putting up a fight

#

and stopped

#

good for Ecuador though

austere crag
#

For the record what I'm reading is the light novel version of a Japanese web comic, which is odd that all I seem to buy are either novel versions of webcomics or published versions of them.

silk bolt
#

I am looking forward to the NL Qatar game though

#

hopefully it's a massacre

pastel jolt
silk bolt
#

pad our stats a little πŸ˜›

pastel jolt
#

yeah the game yesterday felt so weird

#

almost as if they gave the game away

#

even the goal that got removed wasn't even contested

silk bolt
#

it's extra weird because they won the Asia cup in 2019

#

like

pastel jolt
silk bolt
#

what happened to that team

#

and this is the opening game of the WC on their home turf!

#

first time the host of the WC has lost the opening game, ever

silk bolt
austere crag
#

Probably because they were too busy putting the luxury seat lounge in sofas made in 1988

silk bolt
#

hahaha

#

yeah I saw that

#

how depressing

pastel jolt
#

hey at least the opening ceremony was cool

#

loved the throwback to old WC songs

silk bolt
#

tbh anyone who actually traveled to Qatar for the WC deserves that. I feel bad about watching the games, imagine giving that regime any actual money

#

my girlfriend is staunchly opposed to watching it so I have to do it by myself, in silence LOL

austere crag
#

I have blood stein. (I would have to get up and check and I don't want to bother) And it's kinda funny because they put the number of the graphic novel as a heart pulse. Kinds nest.

#

Yeaah. I hear Budweiser is uh, moderately, annoyed to say the least.

rotund gyro
#

Are we uh

#

Still talking about the WC

austere crag
#

Yeap

pastel jolt
#

we can talk about whatever you'd like happy_friend

rotund gyro
#

I meant like, reading justice’s text out of context makes it feel like it’s not about the WC

austere crag
#

Budweiser paid for like a $75 million dollar sponsorship at the WC

#

That's why they're annoyed since Qatar banned alcohol there.

pastel jolt
#

didn't they allow tourists to drink though?

austere crag
#

If you had a corporate hospitality ticket

#

Which costs like $12k

#

It reminds me of that one clip where Homer is watching baseball without drinking anything and realizes that it's incredibly boring if you aren't drinking lmao

#

The context is he's quit drinking and Barney asked him to go to the game with him.

pastel jolt
#

yeah no thanks, I'd much rather get with mates and watch the games KEKW

austere crag
#

It's funny because I can function with like 5 hours of sleep so I'm just sitting here rearranging the padlet to make more room for it

#

I could be sleeping or reading on the novel... I bought all 4 of them... hmm

pastel jolt
#

xmas came early I see KEKW

austere crag
#

Darnoux this is copyright abuse

#

That being said if you can send me the entire pizza delivery episode of Spongebob in a mp4 format, heavily compressed, and under 59mb I will forgive you

#

For legal reasons that was a joke please don't engage in copyright abuse.

pastel jolt
#

was just about to say that what you said is illegal in a couple countries at least KEKW

austere crag
#

Twitter doesn't have any content moderators anymore so the amount of full low quality spongebob episodes I've seen are slightly impressive

pastel jolt
#

oh no

austere crag
#

Yeah they don't have a moderation team anymore

#

There's also this line from the verge which is just... lmao

pastel jolt
#

isn't it all outsourced anyway?

austere crag
#

The Verge reached out to Musk for comment. Twitter no longer has a communications department.

pastel jolt
austere crag
#

Well they fired all of their contractors or anyone doing it interally since they went by lines of code written

#

Which as it turns out got rid of almost every team doing things that are difficult and actually matter.

pastel jolt
#

what a time we live in

#

wonder where all of the people who used it religiously will go now

#

gives me tumblr vibes honestly

austere crag
#

Well the artists went over to Deviantart

pastel jolt
#

we've circled back? KEKW

austere crag
#

But

#

A day or two after Musk bought twitter Deviantart made a AI art generator

#

Artists should be able to choose whether or not AI-images can be generated in your style. Artists who meet the criteria in our manual human review of applicants will be able to request an opt out of their username along with several desired pseudonyms linked to them be unavailable for use in DreamUp prompts.

#

And they made it so you had to opt out... per image...

pastel jolt
austere crag
#

Yeap

pastel jolt
#

doesn't that just discourage artists? sweatGlitch

austere crag
#

They made a global opt out button a couple hours later once they started having a massive amount of accounts being deleted

#

But the button didn't actually work for like 2 days LOL

pastel jolt
#

oh man I feel bad for the dev team KEKW

austere crag
#

So now people are going to Pixiv

#

Or Tumblr

pastel jolt
#

we've actually circled back to the early 2010s KEKW

austere crag
#

OH

#

BLUES

#

So reddit gave away free shitty NFT avatars a while back and I got one because it was free and I don't care.

#

I had someone message me on it today, offering to pay me $150 for it

pastel jolt
#

HAHA

#

you should give Ted talks about crypto now KEKW

austere crag
#

wait when did I buy one

pastel jolt
#

NFTs feel like microtransactions but irl

austere crag
#

At least if I bought a skin in the finals I can actually use it

pastel jolt
#

I mean, real life is filled with microtransactions for cosmetics and consumables

#

but still

austere crag
#

I buy a NFT of a stupid ape I just have two stupid apes, myself and the fake ape.

austere crag
#

It's funny though I have had at least... 4 people ask to buy my account on here

#

They want that wumpus with a helmet apparently

pastel jolt
#

technically yeah

#

that IS an NFT KEKW

austere crag
#

LOL

#

That is technically more of a NFT than a 'actual' NFT

pastel jolt
#

🀣

austere crag
#

It just shows I've given them way too much money

#

Yeap

#

If a bit more than that

#

I used to boost a entire server to level 3 by myself LOL

#

I do not do that anymore because I like money and having it

#

snapshot from those dark times

pastel jolt
austere crag
#

Anyway yeah it was probably like $400 over the course of 5 years

pastel jolt
#

especially with how expensive it's getting

austere crag
#

Oh god how much have I spent on star citizen

pastel jolt
#

wait nvm I did the math

austere crag
#

Pick your poison

#

idk what's worse

#

Me spending 400 on Star citizen or 450 on a statue

silk bolt
austere crag
#

That is the correct answer

pastel jolt
austere crag
#

I would've spent 500 on that statue if I needed to

pastel jolt
#

but that's just me

silk bolt
#

I saw some people sign up to something called Hive

#

@winged summit sound familiar?

austere crag

"#1 productivity platform"

I like how both me and Darnoux said basically the same thing in different strokes.

Going full circle lmao

Time to summon dusty- wait she's not on the social media team.

pastel jolt

(or Vivi, let's summon Vivi instead)

silk bolt

that reminds me

pastel jolt
#

@lone basalt πŸ™

silk bolt
#

after I read the "community manager" job description during our talk I thought "okay but Vivi is community operator, what does that mean"

#

but I forgot to ask

austere crag
#

I asked her that but she just said she operates on the community

#

Given that she's also a fan of plague doctors I think she's here to cut us apart

silk bolt
#

I'm just going to assume it's like a special forces operator but for communication

#

and I refuse to be corrected

pastel jolt
#

THE FINALS server lore thickens

#

pretty sure we could make an anime opening with all of the jokes said here

austere crag
#

I actually cannot find anything about community operators

silk bolt
#

inb4 Darnoux does that

austere crag
#

Minus a github page for a operator framework, and also openshift operators that are red hats.

silk bolt
#

also meme idea @winged summit

#

you know that scene from FMA:B with the human-dog hybrid girl

You can't stop Darnoux now. He's forklift cerified

also the bing chilling one KEKW

speaking of monke

I had numbers like this at launch with 128p breakthrough. ammo crate + proximity sensor.

Blues is accidently signing himself up to play 2042

I've always thought the game is fun with friends

just because the BF formula is goated when it comes to roaming around with a squad

I'd like some folks to play 2042 with, most peeps I played with didn't stick around with it for very long or they just kinda became toxic

you probably have 100-120ping

I usually get 90ms

I used to play Aliens vs Predator way back when with this Aussie/Kiwi clan. on their servers. at 6am. with 400ping.
