Not really, I have a lot of Scandinavian/Northern friends, but I guess I count Partikel as one of them, and he's an Embarker haha
I swear I bought some gummy fishes under the brand Swedish Fish at an airport once
If you make it Shwa, you'd be a phonetical wonder
(its the /ə/ sound.. basically the uuuhhhhh xD
in shwa???
Phonetics might be one of my passions but its not helping me with my Swedish pronunciation rn.. I feel like Zak Brown giving an interview in Spanish
shwa is the uh sound
that's how linguists call it
In linguistics, specifically phonetics and phonology, schwa (/ʃwɑː/, rarely /ʃwɔː/ or /ʃvɑː/; sometimes spelled shwa) is a vowel sound denoted by the IPA symbol ⟨ə⟩, placed in the central position of the vowel chart.
i swear i understand everything
Haha
so schwa is the linguistic name of /ə/
okay.. let me give you an example
yes
yup got that
ok so the first part is pronounces like bay(k)
and the second part (this the British pronunciation btw) is just uh
and that is the /ə/
and they call that the shwa
yea I know most of the phonetic alphabet, the shwa thing confused me like hell
Its just.. a name
couldn't decide whether it's the /ə/ having a different pronounciation in swedish or whatever
probably to avoid confusion with other sounds that sound similar like the /ɜː/
for earth, as everyone knows
/ɜːθ/ (earth)
oh no.. completely unrelated
thats just what swa reminds me of
xddd
and its only one letter away from being brilliant
swa or shwa?👀
what I don't get is why some words starting with a /k/ sounds like a /ʃ/ (sj)
for example?
swa is one letter away from shwa, and shwa is a good name
just to make things clear
in sweden
or generallyy
I wanna learn a nordic language one day as well
considering Denmark to attend a university in
I don't have the right keys on my keyboard so need to google the words for meat and refridgerator
Kylskåp
@vivid oar
well languages have weird stuff
I enjoy watching the channel Language Simp on yt
idk if you know about him
he covered stuff like this
or well I'm just yeeting in a vowel.. that's not how you pronunce it.. per say
I don't.. but I'm pretty much autodidact on this front xD
(I did follow university classes but didn't learn much pronunciationwise)
ahhh

God morgon 
Bonjour

Thank me later @pastel jolt
HAHAHAHA
I remember this moment lul
Is there a wallpaper of the playstest servers banner? Without the announcement
Hmmmmm
I might find it in one of our Medium posts, lemme dig
We have it in our press kit
With the logo, of course.
So would be under Embark > Backgrounds > Desktop
I've seen the one without the logo a few times I'm trying to find the original
Found it
when in Rome.. I got a new background banner
for my server profile here
and a slightly different version of monchi for good measure
Thank you! 
i am so excited for the upcoming beta
me too
Tomorrow?
TOMOROW???
WHAT
@violet horizon
IS THIS A PRANK????
OR A DREAM????
pinch me rn
no way
@steep cloud is your left nip still confident?
Yes, although I should mention my left nip has a circadian rhythm that is 1 week long. Still 6 days left of my nipple’s “today”.
Haha cheeky dodge there
My cheeks circadian rhythm is 1.5 blood moons, but it cannot be trusted
Haha, fair game, my nostril hair is itchy so between us, there is a pretty good chance it will be within the next 12 months
Glad fika!
@hoary eagle
And bringing the egg to the slaughter
It wouldn't allow me to add the accents :c
nah is being too serious about language stuff a part of your job?

the simpsons are cruel
Futurama is also cruel
Oh I am actually blind, saw the gif and immediately went 'oh its kyne so it must be a simpsons gif' 😂
haven't watched a single episode of futurama ever I just know what that is
Glad fika 
Gick du till jobbet idag? 👀
What does fika mean?
Alltid!
Swedish phrase for a coffee (+optional sweet) break, best word ever lol
did you like the fika present?
only in swedish, it means an entirely different thing in hungarian
for your cafecito
Oh I’ve heard about the Italian meaning lol
whats it?
What did I miss? 
in hungarian it's a rather impolite word for snot
strooops! dangit, how did I miss that notice sendout!
daaaayum it's been years since I last ate stroopwafels
My godfather used to live in the netherlands and always brought some when visiting us
no.. not the stroops D:
so you weren't at work today!?
I know @solid plover has a special stash so after @full nexus you should be able to get one haha .. unless Vivi also took a stash...
I have no stash 🙇♀️
HERE WE GOOOOOOOO.!
love you rob ❤️
See you in THE FINALS Beta March 7.!
yeah xd
See you in THE FINALS :). You and the rest of the team are great 
i cant see my wishlist
same
Congrats to you and the rest of the Embark team! From that glimpse in the trailer it's obvious you guys have been super busy so very very excited.

Which one of you at embark made this incredible brass check animation for the silenced pistol??
The one handed brass check will always get me 😩
some goated animation team in embark
Sledgehammer my beloved 😍
I need to dash through walls again
Let's see if the sword is balanced yet :)
yeah its chaos in there atm
This was a good spot to avoid the chaos during the alpha lol
i kinda want to help but...
this is the break room hehe
messages just get lost within the chaos xd
legit feels like a livestream chat
it will probably calm down in a few hours
im def hyped tho, gonna play it quite a bit before moving to alaska
there will be something else beside of the destructions everywhere? xd
?
that’s one of the mechanics of the game itself
the gamemode itself will be cashout, a 3v3v3v3 elimination match
in alpha testing the game seemed mega stiff apart from the destruction there was nothing interesting there
that's why im asking
alpha felt quite good i think
Check the trailer to see some of the alpha changes other than what is in there we have no clue what changes are coming.
12 players total do I understand correctly?
quite a few new abilities coming
yep, and then the team that got the least amount of cash at the end of the round is elminated
sounds promising
have you played the alpha
yeah
fingers crossed
they’ll have a lot more folks in the beta, so your chances are gonna be higher than the alpha
I played alpha and it felt too stiff...but it's an alpha, so....
not really sure what you mean by stiff
eggs
I don't want to talk about it, it was only an alpha...we will see how it will be in the beta 🙂
aight
guys guys i got a funny, wanna hear it?
yes
:0

heheh
you mean there is no shooting feeling ?
that was the funny
recoil?
there’s recoil if thats what youre asking
I would say the guns feel and SFX was one of the highlights of the alpha almost everything already had a really solid base to build off of.
man the gun sounds are so good
nah i mean like adrenaline pick when like you make an head shot in valo that you don't have in OW
they’re just so loud and wonderful
sound good to hear
idk I dont play valorant and haven’t touched OW in a long time, sorry
nothing really seemed very stiff to me
no 1 shot headshot
thats fine i just dunno how to explain in english and stiff dosn't make any sens in my language
the game feels like cod/bf
thats alright, i hope you get into the beta though
thank you i hope too
thats a very good information
i think what he means is that is the gunplay like cs/valorant when you 1 shot headshot someone with a gun
yeah the feeling of the gunplay too be precise
ah yeah no i think at best theres a two tap
gunplay is pretty smooth, more similar to Bf and cod
even with snipers and mele ?
they might have some balance changes though and looks like they’ll have some new weapons, so we’ll see
yeah
i dont think itll be a 1 hit kill for all folks with sniper since there are 3 different weight classes
each class has a different amount of health and exclusive weapons and abilities
like tank supp and dps ?
light, medium and heavy
they just have light medium and heavy, so the heavy is pretty tanky, but medium and light have pretty good dps depending on your weapons loadout
You build your kit how you wanna play, each weight class was more than capable of fulfilling multiple roles.
but maybe theyll have medium as more of a support, i think it was medium that had a revive kit
you can make any mix like there is no exclusive skill ?
There are exclusions but each weight class had a wide arsenal with some overlap between the classes for gadgets. (Frag grenades on both light and medium) etc.
hum ok
so there is no characters in the game
at least no skill based on chara
You build a character, I can't explain it very well but I hope you get into the beta to see. You kind of get to craft your own personal hero with the loadout system. It's really neat.
hum i can imagine thank you for responding my questions
No problem at the end of the day the alpha was a blast for me personally, I hope you get a taste for yourself this round! 🙂
Its the name of the egg ?
Yes Namatama is the egg
where is the chicken
like this:

nama hat
Exactly
Would y'all watch a 2042 esports
I think it would be neat but I don't think it would last long lmao
the finals if it moves to UE5
Damn Oak what's the mortgage on that bad boy?
Pffffft
I prefer not too tell
You people wouldn't be able to understand
it is in ue4?
i mean it looks cool anyways
Yeah ue4
yeah the new forest
is it cool?
yeah seems really cool
I think it'd be cool to have a camera pan around the map after the game so the players could see all the destruction that happened
After matches
What about a timelapse haha
THIS AH
Like in powerwash simulator.. for that satisfaction moment
uh oh
Yeah for real
what have you done 
… nothing 
Come clean
?????
Haha they are giving a seminar about online security and I am the teacher that has to keep an eye out
So you aren't arrested, great news fren
Haha no, had a great conversation in fact!
Had us scared. DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN
Haha sorry 😉


Have any embarkers seen this project? It's another gamedev project written with rust https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient and it seems pretty cool, although still in v0.1
On an unrelated note… it was my last day at this job.. I’m walking off of the schoolgrounds for the last time haha
This was planned btw, I didn’t get fired 
I gave my notice a month ago
we are aware! :)
Can't wait to Ambiently Run through the new level in Seoul :)
To mods, possible for you to support Facebook through this?
<#server-announcements message>
Hello! At the moment our CC program only offers support for Twitch and YouTube.
Can you give me a general idea of what the minimum views etc entail? Just a broad idea? Before I make a lurkit account to relive my glory days on Twitch with low double digits
ccv is average concurrent viewership
oh yess
was that an answer to my question or just .. I don'tr get it :x
That's what one of the requirements are, 40 ccv.
ah I didn't see the 40 number before but nice 😉
good to know ^^
Nobody's watching me.
Lol
I got like 2 friends who will watch.
Im'ma edit a bunch of videos after the beta.
The average streamer won't be able to apply, but that's not because Embark doesn't love you, it's because it makes it hard to manage and by putting a minimum ccv they make it manageable and have good (enough) conversion 🙂
Doesn't mean your content isn't valuable ^^
That's pretty smart, sharing gameplay footage and sharing your thoughts and maybe good tips 😄
Nobody cares about bf4 gameplay.
Im'ma sleep like 5hrs in those two weeks.

No sleep, Russian anti-sleep gas deployed!
Yeaaaah!
I was referencing the Russian sleep experiment.
It's a creepypasta
I'm going to take consecutive multi hour videos of gameplay and I will post the raw footage on Twitter or something
hahaha
just cause you can
Their servers will fear me
Nice.
(of course I will give excessive feedback)
bro i just witnessed some random cat attempt to rizz up my cat
the cat failed to pull tho
Fear us you mean..
Should I change my name to the old #2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, current 7
I remember the day I became n1.. twas a good day
yes do it
Then it wasn’t anymore
Join the nostalgic empire
And then things got worse
And here we are
In the most crowded freaking top 10 ever
With new people lurking each
And every
Flipping
Day
😂
Haha I have no wish to leave the top 10 but I don’t mind sticking to 7
I was third to reach the finals (finalist role)
So already did my job and paid my dues
Immortalized forever
I was supposed to be the fourth but life had other plans
(mainly me getting deadass carpel tunnel from texting too much lmao)
Did also talk and walk outside of the server
I’m actually wearing my finals tshirt today haha
I forgot because I was wearing a shirt on top because it was pretty darn cold
Sorta yeah haha
usually apple
Heard the name
Never seen or tried it
#applejuicesweep
ah its pretty good its this blackcurrant drink
cant beat passionfruit juice
It's close i admit
I mean both are great
Guava juice, anyone?
Now what is going on in here how has no one said pineapple juice?
Water juice best juice
Yes I second this motion
goodnight
An uncluttered, small form factor case designed to integrate seamlessly into your living space and daily rituals. An evolution of the slimline format, Ridge was developed in collaboration with gaming and entertainment enthusiasts to subtly improve their homes and enhance the small form factor PC experience.
@tropic lance It's a pretty cheeky case
She's not patient enough to wait for the 4070/4060 TI I think
so got a 3070 because it was the best we could get for the budget
You coouuuuld make it look like a record player
true! but record players with integrated speakers aren't really to my taste
Haha true
but the idea is that it looks like something like that yeah
something you can just put under the TV and it looks like a soundbar/ amp or so
a perfect what?
Big enough for box pc and loooks like a complimentary speaker
Like that?
Is that what disguise pc is
a subwoofer yeah
that setup is way too .. out there for me though haha
I am more into this type of stuff if you wanna go big
I got these lil things in my own studio
they're nice and small
but regardless, I'm looking forward to building it 🙂
gonna teach my sister to build it herself.
so if anything breaks or needs upgrading/replacement she can do it herself.
lmao
She lives far away for Dutch standards hahah
That's super dope.
Now the bad robber will get a free pc when he only wanted a sound system.

Yeah that happened to me recently
Pc and sound stolen
But I got an excuse to upgrade
IT experts, asking for help
I have a LC27G5xT monitor (odyssey g5) which apparently has a DP 1.2 port, capable of supporting 144hz on 1440p
however, neither nvidia control panel nor windows settings allows me to set the refresh rate above 60hz, there is no option to set it to 144
any ideas why this might happen?
bad cable? have you tried the hdmi port instead?
Trying with an hdmi cable I found, it's probably the one included with the monitor but a little unsure
Telling results in a moment
Still the same, but the problem might be that my monitor is recognized as a generic PnP monitor
Okay dang I am stupid
Had to switch refresh rate in the monitor settings
i was gonna say check the bios but i realised that’s the computer settings itself 💀💀

I can’t wait to see you on the red carpet
I was gonna say, that is an oscar winning perfomance
Heya Bear 
Bear
Also, don’t do drugs kids. Stay in school. Or else. 
Drugs are bad
when Bear mauled that person after inhaling the cocaine. epic cinema
Oh everything's alright then
Haii Kyne! Hru?
Truly a moment of the movie
Just enjoying the communities reaction to the Beta 
fr!!
been trying to keep an eye on here but it’s been busssy hehe
when beta
when beta
Appreciate you and the other devs poking in every one and a while to talk ❤️
Pls, I will maul y’all.
Pls maul them
Ok I pull up
Hi Beau

Alright,

racoon vs red panda seems more fair idk, maybe red pandas are super evil and agile 
WAIT
Not my coffeeeeee
That'll be an awkward conversation with the barista 😂

If darn would just ask I’d make them their own coffee but they insist on stealing mine 
Big sad

@lament fulcrum what were you saying about the 360?
All in the details, I approve
find it crazy people can make that run on a decade and a half piece of hardware
No one should worry about low spec optimisation. If you are, look at BF4 on 360.
oo thanks, you can call me Ewan btw 😂
Ok
just looked thats crazy
The water was updated the same on everyone's screen. That must've took hundreds if not thousands of hours to get right.
If shot a crate, the same crate way explode on your screen.
That was a big deal on that hardware.
im sure embark will have some really good optimisation for the finals
Embark could get doom on the NES if they wanted to.
true xD
My dentist told me I should try one of those fancy electric toothbrushes

i play with the piano poker
💔
Piano
have you rly tried to set that up
the midi
controller
it does not have to be from the list
you can install whatever
Yeah, it's for more compatible with ableton.
mine is not in the list and works
ahhh yes, these are words that i totally understand
also don't question why the lighting in my room is orange
It's impossible to turn off the arp
It always plays automatically
It makes recording a huge pain.
this right
I wanna get the Novation FL Key.
It'll connect to fl no problem.
:O
i wanted that, but now im saving for only knobs
I bought it and configured it for video editing haha
infinite rotation knobs
lol

What I want ^^
that's cool hahaha
:3 thanks
not bad tbh
fun fact I have 2 doges
yeah, i already have a keyboard
that is like real
it has weight on the keys
and the midi keyboard are... clicky
its infinite rotation knobs and the pads have velocity controll
Nice, Weighted keys are the best. My first keyboard was a 20$ pos. It had thin plastic garbage 4 keys.
I miss it.
😦
I prefer to just use FL keys
Nostalgia....
yeah i dont like the yes or no thing... its to machine like and i like my sounds to be organic sounding
Kunai are you an
user
im fl
What is that?
Like the on screen piano?
That??
yeah
just use the spitfire thing
soft piano or whatever
way better for free
tehn you can go with knotak if you have lots of money
Vital is a good free plugin
yeah true
Wavetable synth.
i use serum
What's that plugin that has a lot of effects
but vital is rly good
Rlly expensive too
sylenth1 serum vital massive
Sylenth1 yea lol
Serum is monthly subscription right?
thats the one
Don't they both do the same thing?
Man the efforts I went through to get that plugin
no xd its 200€
you can buy monthly till you have it with splice
yeah
but this is just gorgeous
What's the advance of serum vs vital?
FL keys
vital has 3 envelopes iirc
fr
Same
Rq imma flex all of the wires and extera stuff I have in this here bucket
Red/black favorite colors.
That's why I thought it was ableton
yesss
But guess it's unableton
anyone know a good cheap facecam?
your phone
I had never seen or heard of a daw. My buddy was like,"Wanna check out a song?" Booted up FL studio and the rest is history..

i just need one that has good interface (looks good) and has that work flow... that's all i need... and free life time updates with only one payment, fl is my choice, but more professional sounding goes with ableton, ive yet to know why, but prob in the future if it is worth ... i'm using ableton
hat i want rly is the end result and joy while making it
FL4L
Piano roll is my bestfriend.
