I'm enjoying the fact that the sky has cleared up - from cloudy and dark to clear and blue within an hour
But celebrating the death of a monster and mourning the death of a character is best done with alcohol :L
I love watching that kinda thing :D
You a cider or beer type of person ?
Yeah, I love rain, but I prefer when it's also bright
Generally, I'm a whiskey/mead guy but I like light lagers and fruity ciders :L
If you can get your hands on it, Luke, try Jubel. It's a REALLY nice lager that's been cut with peach juice. Honestly heavenly
See, I'm a winterboi and adore the clear skies but snow everywhere vibe, it's gorgeous if a little blinding
I have an issue with my eyes where just regular old daylight is pretty blinding for me so snowblinding is hell xD
I like those transitional periods, sweater-weather if you like
And yeah, as a certified computerhead I can't deal with bright light either. The walls in my room are black lol

I mean, autumn is a beautiful season, it's my second favourite XD
Winter 🥶
I've lived nocturnally because of work for pretty much 7 years so being awake right now is pretty annoying :L My room is dark tho so we chillin'
I think I've tried jubel at a Christmas market before, it was good from what I remember
Mate, I buy the party kegs of it now :L
Is :L an open mouth or a closed, grimacing mouth
It's supposed to be a chuckle, it's an old boy emoji
Is it like 
The kekw mouth is also a bit of an L shape, haha
I was not on the internet yet in 2005, that was my sims 1 era
Sorta' like the down part of this wiggle XD
Luckily, I was given internet access very early on as a child
Or as the boomers would say "pff, you got raised by the internet not your parents"
I mean, yeah, I don't think I'd be in the profession I am today without that, it really was a driving force behind my current passions and what I now do for a living
I was 100% raised by my parents, internet access was monitored and I spent ALOT of time outside, playing with friends but having access to things like specific websites and being given some freedoms to basically roam around the digital wild west was a massive driving point of me going into data security
Ah, that sounds great! I didn't have such a nice time with the internet, but maybe it was because my parents aimed for surveillance rather than productive curating of the space
As an example any website with the word satan was blocked 
I spent most of my childhood on a computer or console, worth it kinda
Oh lord. See, if my friends recommended me a website, my parents would review it and then add it to a hotbar :L
And then I would be free to roam google while a parent was around
So I could hunt down cool things like Newgrounds and the like

My mum was always like "why don't you go outside, being on a computer all day won't help you"
Now I work in IT,
I win
See, my parents always told me that IT would be a great job to get into because they knew it payed so well
However, they said gaming would NEVER make me any money
And now I scrim with my friend who's an ex-pro come coach and get paid for it :L
When is the movie?
Technically not even allowed to share THAT xD
Fair
Ye, all my homies HATE NDAs
Gotta hate the NDAs
Maybe 
whats not to love about NDAs
Hey Povich!

yea ive seen that bro it was like a full cup too 😭
I bet! just knowing who I am and what audience listens to $B$ people get huuurt
Some people would say i make too much out of keeping myself refreshed when gaming, but i say no! I deserve a cool cola while cracking skulls and killing noobs 
Too good for plain.. WATER? D:
i drink water 90% of the time, i deserve a few cool colas during the weekend 😉
Povich still has dentistbrain on

I prefer liquid death tho
Egg lounge

Please don't cook the egg

damn I'm hungry..
nope.. next week 🙂
or well might get some waffles tonight.. who knows
kinda feeling it rn ngl
Always a good time for a waffle tbh
Truth
First time playing CS:GO in 3 years, and the game still knows me 
no idea, lost the match because 1 person left early on
my peak though was supreme like 7 years ago haha
Nice
cs2 finna go hard
Are you kidding? CS2 isn't going to do shit to the market. OW2 flopped and I expect CS2 to do the same. It literally is the same game with new graphics. I'm 35, I can only play Dust so many goddamn times in my life.
wtf did you expect lmfao?
I don't think those two games compare to start with
They're comparable in the sense that both are not qualified sequels, but rather, engine upgrades that really haven't offered much to the overall gameplay, maps, etc.
ow2 flopped cuz there was no new content and they advertised it as a new game sort of with new content.
cs2 you know what you are getting lmao
CS2 isn't bringing a ton of new content either.
okay but Overwatch tanked because of many reasons, a massive scandal and after half the amount of years
CSGO never died/flopped and held on for twice as long
Frankly, CS2 can't hold a candle to The Finals beta that I played. Gameplay has evolved, so much, since the era of CS. Just watching shroud last night was so boring because it's the same routes, same moves, same tactics --- zzZZzZZzzz...
nobody expected it lmao most people just expected the engine update, but they getting new smoke physics and no more server tick issues, big W if you ask me
CSGO actually improved on the original CS quite a bit. I was there, I remember.
-- The server tick issue is really smart marketing. We'll see if it holds true.
What I saw was basically the same damn game I played when I was 14.
New fortnite update hits different Ngl
@dire lichen KKKKKKKKKKENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
nobody is forcing you to play cs anyways 
Was playing you laugh you lose with my Valorant squad earlier, we got into a vc and sent in links, and watched them on discord while playing
This made everybody lose lol
The neck though…
The only reason CS was ever remotely popular is because it was free and provided a great entry point for low end PC. This graphics upgrade, really, might eliminate a huge portion of their playerbase.
i.e:
Yea but you can turn down the settings, and unlike the finals, it actually helps
You will be able to make CS 2 look like CSGO
maybe move this conversation to #🏓┇other-games if you wanna go deeper
I suspect. The physics simulation, changes to network coding, and, general engine updates will obsolete a ton of players who live in countries that support their playerbase.
fortnites unreal editor looks fire doe ngl
There are hundreds of thousands of low-income people grinding CS:GO, daily, because it's free and fun. Many, probably haven't even upgraded since the update to CS:GO-- and had issues running it then. The new smoke simulation, alone, will require more resources than before. I hope they don't leave those people behind. For us, I'm sure it's not a big deal; however, you have to recognize the games popularity (and free price tag) in less developed nations as a primary reason it is at the top of the steam charts daily. Anyway, that's all I have on that.
It does. How far people will take it will be interesting to see.
I’m sure valve will configure the settings so that it is still plausible to play on a low end pc.
They should understand that their player base contains a lot of people with low end systems.
fuck
nah
they should buff snipers
DAMMIT YOU GOT ME
i thought that was patrick at first and not kirby and was wondering what happened lol
it has finished, aye
Oil change szn
beta = ended, no one knows when the next one is
yes
Beta ended g
I think you're missing a standard bonnet holder thingy
beta = ongoing, every one knows when the next one is
im in rn
just lost
oof, skill issue
Yeah lost it like 6 years ago lol. Good Ole plank does the job better
plank of wood ftw
wood of plank
Exactly plus it double as extra traction if I get stuck
I’m amazed you for to the third round with so few kills
Are you… playing the objective!?
it doesnt show the insane amount of hp i gave my teamates
basically i rush objectives and heal teamates
heh, just saw you had 17 objectives...actually fair play
too much
Not too much
Maybe too much too fast but never too much
Personally I don’t thing anyone was wrong with the defib or the heal gun but the defib nerf was fair
I want stats on how much damage people would have taken if they didn't have invulnerability after being defibbed 
Its in my nature to blatantly ignore the danger and revive my teammates anyway
who… who is this retrogram. are they trying to impersonate me with a false name
😮
my god it’s a fucking war in #⚡┇the-finals-chat
when is it never not a war 
Have the devs talked about another playtest before release?
nope
to be fair
No, but it isn’t confirmed they won’t either.
I wouldn’t be surprised they are not sure about it themselves 😉
Yeah I feel like the biggest issue of the community is the movement and this could need another test. Would be sad if people quit on release because of movement limitations
I didn't find movement too limiting, what would you say was limiting about it?
There was a bit of a input lag feel like ziplines you press E and sometimes it just wouldnt connect or when you try to jump after you actually press space it would have half a second to actually react to the input
The only noticeable delay in movement (for me) was picking up teammate statues and using ziplines
Picking up teammate’s figurines was probably the worst of all
yeah the picking up statues/reviving was a bit iffy
Is there a word the community has coined yet or are we stuck with calling them statues
probably stuck calling them statues
They are called revive statues in one of the #1072100020876226560
Not really, they got plenty people to test that internally
You might forget that the devs are also playing games daily haha
And likely agree with the movement issues
And experienced them theirselves.. so no worries on that front 😉
What was the dumbest way you all died?
I died in a chimney and my miniature got suck inside
I don’t remember with who I was.. I thought it was @steep cloud .. it was pretty bad because nobody could revive me and time was running out
I completely forgot chimneys were a thing
I was cloaked on a staircase. Sitting still, waiting with my dagger. My teammate runs past and a sniper triest to pick them off. Misses, puts the bullet between my eyes.
mmmm, video games
good times
the fireplace bugged out and you got trapped inside when it fell down due to destruction
Get down mister president moment
I didnt even report that bug.. it felt like karma for being a smart ass haha the whole building collapsed around the chimney
Haha damn…
Couldn’t be more unlucky I guess
i also hated the revive bug. sometimes i could not revive my homies :(
was following my teams heavy, we go jump onto the bridge on seoul he fat fingers Q and i fall to my death and he somehow lives
wish my shadow play worked for that time it was funny asf
please help me
i've been playing terraria for the past 9 hours
i truly have a problem
i loaded up a new save and though 'aight i'll finish all of the achievements and get out, quick 3-4 hours of playing'
i was very much mistaken
hahaha
jesus christ
now i wanna play terraria
modded terraria is life changing
Haha fat fingered.. I love that term so much
it was funny cuz all i hear is heavy screen then theres a huge hole in the bridge then i died lol
Yeah… I think I got a lot of my teammates killed as a heavy because buildings collapsed on them and they got stuck while the enemies were closing in
Anyway.. its fun.
fuck it i'm gonna look for the dumbest item in terraria, the dirtiest block
it's a pet summon item you can get randomly from mining dirt, there are 3/6/9 of them in each world from small(3)-medium(6)-large(9)
and i won't use a guaranteed seed because that's for casuals i enjoy pain
i'm sorry how the hell did more people finish all of the fishing achievements than purify the world
i should go gambling
i know i'm just joking
AA fell asleep
100 percent of gamblers quit before they score big (this a joke)
I won £400 at a casino once, never went back
I was also not trying to be too serious haha
the amount of money spent gambling on other types of things though, oof
I mean I always dream of going to a casino with 20 bucks and then magically come back with 20 but.. well
The house always wins
I was into the whole csgo skin gambling back in the day where you'd bet on csgo matches with skins
oh god i've dropped maybe a few bands on csgo lol
yeah, I lost a lot of money on csgo cases and skin betting 
yep i feel your pain but i also made a lot of money off of it lol. its how i bought my track car
ooo what track car you got?
i have a stock ass 97 Acura Integra.
working on engine swappin her just need to find a good block first
ooo looks nice, I'm not too good at cars, my mate has a 180SX that he's currently doing up for drifting
nice love the 180sx its still a s13 in my heart
On a scale of 1 (a physical potato) to 10(something crazy like a 4090 or smthn), how “good” is a 4070 ti?
dont event touch it
I ordered one for my new pc and I wanna get spoilers on how good (or I guess how bad, if that’s the case) it is
its not worth the price tag
Too late
F but enjoy tho
yep cards a beast but not worth the price tag
Thing is a 3070 ti isn’t much cheaper
I’m scared for how good these mf’s are gonna make the cosmetics in this game. The stuff in the beta was already great and they had rotating / hidden stuff too
you could've gotten a 7900 xtx
where'd you buy it from?
tbf, 7900xt isn't worth it when the 7900xtx is only like £100 more and is a lot better
yah meant to say xtx
7900xtx is slightly better then the 4070 ti iirc
I'm waiting for the 8000 series for AMD before I buy another GPU
you can get used 3070s for 320ish
just make sure to swap the fan bearings out tho since they was prolly used in a mining rig
you might get lucky and find a non-mining card
friend of mine bought a used 3090 for like 650 bucks lol and hes had it for like 5 months
I got a 6900XT for like £605 a few months ago
then sold my 3080 to @sand jacinth this week
(not a mining GPU)
eh you can buy a mining card. if mining was done right it is fine. mining cards are kinda like buying used cars you still gamble on them
but i know a decent amount of people who buy used mining cards and they have no problems besides swapping out fan bearings
yeah, the main problem with mining cards is people are stupid AF and seem to like power wash their cards to make it seem like it's new before selling them
nah my 3070 carring me to 2025
lmao what that cant be real
there was a whole thing about 2nd hand AMD gpus from the same seller blowing up because he power washed them before selling them 
bruh aint no way
thats funny asf. thats like buying a used car with a blown engine
that you thought was a good engine
at least! probably 2027
I got a 3090ti for $1k from Best Buy last Black Friday 
pretty good
When the 4090 dropped and everyone was seething
I haven't seen much 3090Ti's in the wild
Somehow I managed to check out / buy it on my phone at work before everybody else who were trying to on their computers
Kept going in and out of stock every minute
I managed to get my 3080 on release for MSRP
took like 2-3 months to be delivered though
around 1600 more XP to go then I can finally join the green ranks
piss yellow
The green is just such a forgettable shade
home stretch
true
I should go back to completing hogwarts legacy, need to finish like the last 3 main missions
I saw something about a first person mod for that game
oo, that would be cool
I think it’s available
I know the people from the skyrim together mod is creating a multiplayer mod for Hog leg
yes.. I want to avada kedavra everyone in first person.. so I can make eye contact
need to do a playthrough with every house... doing Hufflepuff rn
already did a snek playthrough
I'm in Ravenclaw atm
that'll be my last playthrough
I think I'll do a snek playthrough next , I want to try and 100% the game
When The Finals comes back I’m gonna try and play as Sekiro
giving them a chance to fix the ravenclaw companion mission
(which apparently doesn't exist, or the achievement for it doesn't)
there's a bug for ravenclaw mission?
its not a bug
Also, they added so many damn merlin trials, it's annoying af
Probably because it was the dumbest launch in the history of GFX cards and NVIDA is a complete moron for launching it XD
Like just buy a 3080 or a 3090 or wait a month and buy 4090. But people really couldnt wait a whole 30 days and bought a hella overpriced hella over volted/watted gpu that barely fits in cases or meets TDPs XD
nice to see your nuanced wording...
can you be slightly more respectful to others?
3090 ti for 1k is a great deal, even if it wasn't a good deal at MSRP.
the only 3090ti's I saw at launch were $2k
well he said he bought his for 1k which is decent even relative to the new 40 series cards
and the 4090 came out like a month later
so?
Oh im not saying u cant get one now for a decent price and its not a bad buy
I strictly meant why you dont see a lot of them XD
can you get a 4080 or a 4090 for 1k rn? I doubt it
well you called someone a moron so idk man
you cant get a 3090ti for 1k rn either bruv and i didnt call him one lmao
well that's how I read it
Then sorry to both of ya if thats how it came off!
you can edit it all you like
I didnt edit the first part btw which includes the words "Launch"
well thankfully I read it and not him, so let's call it a truce
regardless, lets agree people with different usecases have different values
I'M FREE
and on that note, I am going to sleep 🙂
yeah nah u right 😤🤝
after almost 14 hours
well good night yall!
night bud
damn it's only 12:30 AM? i expected it to be like 3:00 by now
i've lost track of time
that is enough 2D minecraft for now. GG
the fact that i'll have to 100% CS:GO makes me want to cry
You think we will need to get the achievements again in cs2?
like i'm sorry but i think i'll have to brute force unlock all of the achievements for unavailable maps
i don't feel like looking for the archived versions of the maps and then playing 100 matches with bots
i assume they'll reuse CS:GO's appid for CS2 and all of the achievements will be removed
Ah yeah that will most likely be the case, or at least we hope so
another game that makes me want to die when it comes to 100% is payday 2
i've spent 100 hours in this game btw
sixteen percent
I've only got these I need to do for CSGO
after 100 hours of playing
I almost have gta5 100% I got all the hardest ones done first
the only game I've managed to 100% is elden ring 
because some fart smella at overkill thought it would be REALLY funny to make every in-game contract completion at difficulties hard and above give the player an achievement
I've also 100%'d vampire survivors multiple times
then they keep adding more and more achievements
i almost 100% RDR2 but sold my xbox before I could
You get the trophy for every difficulty below the one you beat it on though, so you don’t have to replay em all
I had it 100% at one point :)
I’m working on 100% hunt showdown and it’s interesting
ooo hunt showdown, love that game
I’ve got that one done too. The only really hard ones are the getting to every place in the map. I was unfortunately dumb enough to wait until I was a 6 star to do those
5 ace hand isn’t actually all that bad
ach hunting is the best/worst thing you can do with your time
Yeah this one is the one that’s holding me back the most
5 hand ace was brutal for me it took me for ever and all I needed was one more lol
When you’re learning the game 5 ace is brutal. Once you know how strong long ammo is it’s basically free
All you have to do is prioritize survival over bounty and you’ll get there
Kept dying at like level 48 to bullshit lol
Fair tbh. There’s a ton of dumb ways to die in that game
yep but I would always kill some zombie things then go to extract and boom I’d run into fuckers 500 miles away from the bounty
some games do it really well such as no man's sky, sonic mania and terraria -- i have no problems with those, you'll get some of the achievements mid-game, but there are a few you need to specifically look for as a bonus challenge
but then you have shit like meet the creator of GMOD in a server, play 365 daily challenges in Bloons TD 6, a whole pile of broken and stupid achievements in CS:GO
Yeah, depending on the game 100%s aren’t worth doing
i would have 100% in BTD6 if it wasn't for this very fair and reasonable achievement
play the game faster 👍
I can’t do achievement hunting because stuff like that bores the ever loving shit out of me
and wait 24 hours faster
Admittedly, I’m a hypocrite for saying that. I struggle with hyper-fixation because of my adhd, so I’ll say I hate doing it one day and 100% dark souls 3 in three days the next week
Nah I agree
i achievement hunt in a semi-purist way, i tend to skip achievements which make me ask 'who designed this shit?' in my head
Fair
ok that’s fair
The only reason I even consider doing it is because I love the game and want to flex that I’ve seen it all. Nothing else matters to me when it comes to that
case and point: an achievement whose most optimal solution is to leave your PC on for 16+ hours with a macro that constantly spams Q and E
there's absolutely no satisfaction upon completing this achievement since you probably won't even be at your PC when it does unlock
What game ??
People playground, right?
Yeah
Ahh ok
There’s legit no good way to do it unless you either play the game for an eternity or grind it
From what I remember I got it from a gift since it was around 70% off around Christmas sale
couldn’t you just spawn a million people lol
I did everything else for the hell of it but this is stupid
You can still just do the kill machines. If you spawn 100 of the 1,000 KPS machines you just get it
Hell, you don’t even need to spawn that many. Spawn 50 and use the time accelerator
brb i'm gonna speedrun the wallpaper engine achievements
i forgot those even existr
I forgot that got achievements lol
hmm
how do i break the scene editor
i'll try an invalid image see if that helps
i named an empty text document "darude sandstorm 2015 MLG remix + angry birds bad piggies bass boosted mixtape +minecraft beta 1.7.3 jar launcher download on mediafire.jpg" hopefully the cringe breaks the editor
bingo that's 1 done
this is the only good wallpaper engine wallpaper
walta
i'm not sure why but the steam big picture notification/achievement unlock sound is really satisfying to me
I love it when I find a game that makes time completely disappear
Lurkit locked my account without saying why. Pretty on brand lol. -_-
That was this game for me lately, those 8 minute rounds just eat time like it's nothing
true, finals was great for time wasting
for me its mount and blade bannerlord, project zomboid and XCOM 2
reminder to back up or download any data from zippyshare before april
yo
I never got on well with XCOM 2, that doomsday timer always fucked me
.
MIKE says this not saul
ah, the fake Jap
imposter jap
Whow
also,
nearly done with the csgo achievements
yeah, the arms race/demo ones I'm just using a workshop map to cheese
because fuck playing 5,000 arms race games
yep and king of the hill
just discovered something
turns out CS2 still contains code that sends achievement progress to steam for the CS:GO achievements
it's possible they'll stick around but it's unlikely
i mean Bank and Aztec have been out of the map pool for a century i don't expect them to suddenly return
PS: don’t ask me how I got my hands on the files for CS2 that isn’t important
#⚡┇the-finals-chat being the finals again
I dont know how to explain it but in the combat 2.0 feedback many people complained about air resistance or something like that. They want the movement to be a bit more like apex
Yeah, I was not at all caught off guard about the daylight savings this morning. Nope. Not me
Good morning champs
honestly I can't wait till we can finally stop doing daylight savingstime and just stick with winter time

stroopwafels yummy
This is the type of snack that I can't stop eating once I taste one until the whole bag is empty
micro cafecito
How does it not spill out? Is it only the remains of the coffee on the sides of the cup?
It's unclear
the fact that summer in the north hemisphere is around 90 days away makes my brain melt
like huh???? how the hell did the winter pass so fast
💀 lmao
90 days feels far. We just changed to summer time and.. got snow on the same day
I used to think a year was a long time, now I become a year older like every month it feels like
i feel like time just felt like speeding up when the current decade started
how the hell is it 2023 and you're trying to tell me we're almost in its 2nd quarter?
tbf covid prob rekt the perception of time for everyone
what the hell is happening outside
why is it raining for 4-5 seconds, abruptly stopping then resuming as if nothing ever happened
which dumbass is messing with the weather controls slider 😭
God just finished his piss super quickly
hey at least they aren't messing with the time of day
Fuck, I forgot the clocks went forward
i thought they go sideways
A bit of that, a bit of this
@sharp phoenix you asked about my rank 
Silver 2, not bad not bad
not bad, garbage 
You said it 
I'll play some CS with ya soon
I got an alt account which is silver 4 I think
i have S2/MG2 on my main
truly a testament to how reasonable full competitive matches are
i'm merging my steam library from 2 hard drives, this will take a while
146gb, rookie numbers
Buy ssd bro
it's a drop in the bucket for the 4TB HDD i'm moving this stuff to
laughs in NVME
i have a 512GB NVMe as my main, a secondary 256 gig SSD and a 4TB HDD. I'm clearing the 2nd SSD's drive space because i want to mess around with HoloISO (unofficial patched version of SteamOS for PCs)
oh and a USB 1TB HDD just in case i have to move stuff
SteamOS chad
i guess i also have an additional samsung 256g 850 evo but i don't feel like slotting it in
mainly because i'd have to plug in an additional SATA power cord into my PSU and the last place i want to dig in is the backside of my PC
i know that NZXT cases are generally frowned upon due to bad thermals but I personally love the panel system in place, being able to effortlessly pop out the side glass panel in case something stops working as intended is great
Are u dumm or something else. I have a ssd in my computer and an external ssd exclusively for steam library. SSD which costs like around 50 bucks for 1tb
i never intended to get any additional internal hard drives, all of them were salvaged from laptops and such
but why not external
the last thing i'd want is to have a hard drive sit around on the outside of my pc considering just how fragile HDDs tend to be.
phew that's moving data done
god i love being able to hoard
useless data
here's an example of useless data;
all of these are absolute fire wallpapers tho
downright bussin or whatever tiktok uses as slang for something that's good nowadays
oops please that one community manager here that's lurking in the shadows don't banish me to the shadow realm
i'm moving things around on my desk and my headset was pressing down on the numpad + button
@austere crag the reason why you have an ssd sitting around as an external steam library is that it is stored more securely than on a computer, you can store more games with fast transfer (this means that you can save a couple of games that you don't play very often or you just have to play them when you have already finished playing another games( - how would you play eg dynglight 1 -> dl 2) from eSSD) + it's also useful for slow download speed and maybe you can backup your saved game progress (it is useful when pc crash or when you finish the game and decide to uninstall, you can save your game progress)
I was like huh, why? Then I saw the wall of +++++++++++

i'm starting to feel a bit lost in whatever's going on here
U are lost in your mind *when I'll look into that
this is relevant to the conversation how exactly

This is so passive aggressive
that's his problem not mine when he have HDD like steam libary
it wasn't exactly a problem for him though
dude just wanted to use whatever he salvaged and you're trashing him for it 💀
I want to see you with 74MB/s and copying like 170GB *-if you take into mind that the ssd would cost the same as hdd
Refrain from disrespecting other Contestants while having discussions please, not something we want 
still faster than mine every once in a while 💀
“Perfect” 👌
perfect indeed
exquisite
pm?
OK, this whole drive debate is starting to get really chaotic so i'll just put an end to it. If you're looking to buy a hard drive, whether it's portable or mounted into your PC, go with an SSD. It'll probably cost more (~50% more when comparing a SATA 4TB HDD to M.2 4TB SSD) but the performance gain and reduced noise are easily enough to justify spending more. But in a situation where you find a HDD that functions fine, there's absolutely no reason to throw it away since HDDs do not have a write limit as opposed to SSDs, so if a salvaged drive passes an R/W test with no errors, it's perfectly good and can be moved from PC to PC to PC without degrading over time.

there wasn't really a debate until the guy started being aggressive lol
not my problem anyway, but yeah *- I think I worded it wrong that I agree when you react like that
"not his problem"
Lets simmer down guys - We've already talked about it
Uh oh CM alert
tl;dr i like my hard drive that might randomly decide to grind all of the data saved on it to fine dust and you can't do anything about it
And that's why instead of backing stuff up, you just write it on paper instead 
I would not like a harddrive doing that… hell I don’t like harddrives at all
#nvmeornothing
Yeah, I've only got nvmes in my PC
I do have a backup HDD full of old data sitting somewhere in a cupboard though
i only have 3 things on my hdd and that's my pile of emulators, games and downloads
yes, my downloads folder is not on my C:\ drive since the minimum 70 MBPs this HDD can proccess outpaces most downloads anyways
I kinda want to try the PS3 emulator at some point
gotta like that all xboxes and playstations (expect for the PS1) are still pretty challenging to emulate even with modern-day hardware, and nintendo consoles achieve full-speed emulation when they're still relevant and officially supported
it's pretty good, what gets you is how compatible the games are
but plenty of patches around for that
We have both spine and fpPS4 but they're still super early WIPs
I guess I could use PS Now if I wanted to try Bloodborne
if there was 1 nintendo switch game i'd want ported to PC it's 51 clubhouse games: worldwide classics
that game is a masterpiece but unfortunately you can only play it on PC via Ryujinx and multiplayer only works over LDN2 which requires friends that know how to set up a switch emu
i guess you can look for open lobbies just like with Citra but it's really hit-or-miss and the lobby browser is pretty empty

Wait a decade more for that
yes, using a protocol to make your PC able to communicate with Switches and other PCs running the same software over the internet does in fact put nintendo developers on the streets but they deserve it after the last 2 major pokemon titles
Lemme just remind yall that while emulators are an absolutely fine topic, lets avoid getting into anything that ties into piracy, such as ROMs or modded features that bypasses the original servers - Rule 9!

NO. Not Nikocado Avocado
nintendo when you don't pay monthly to play a 36 year old game
don't sweat it i don't watch the fart smella just find this specific clip really funny
Ah
bro really equipped the broom out of his inventory 💀
I desperately needed him out of my YouTube recommendations lmaooooo
This king of the kill achievement for csgo takes forever
I need to get back into CS
I'm only back into it incase cs2 fucks the csgo achievements
from what i've played the current CS:GO achievements still work in CS2 but i doubt they'll stick around
You have access to CS2?
we don't talk about that
Noice
huehue
although unsurprisingly you can't play matchmaking
external servers work and so do bots
uh oh
Lets not teach people that though
alright i'm running
All of you that read it, I'm watching you 

alright bye bye ethernet cable
i was never here
either way i can gawk at the silly files that CS2 runs off of so that's cool
I keep picturing the egg mascot of The Finals just appearing around an esports event in the far future
I am looking forward to eSports the finals
example: i'm glad they renamed the folders containing most of the game's data
Gonna be fun to watch
I hope there will be a 100% authentic kickable plushie of namatama i'd spend all of my money on 100 of them
Gotta make an Imbarq team
but it's gotta be kickable otherwise i'm not buying
❤️ egg
I still think that countdown on the website is for a merch store
Perfect time to bring out merch
I want more moolah stuff
Genuinely love MOOlah 😉
Which also means money so you know.. its the perfect mascotte
i assume it's either merch or another trailer for the game
it can totally be a trailer since Embark definitively proved to us that they want to use 110% of their power to flex their editing skills for making game trailers
I wouldn't mind a finals t-shirt
we already have the first look teaser, alpha trailer and beta trailer
Their trailer editing is great
How the heck are we doing, gamers?
absolutely swell
mine goes down to kb/s for like 15 mins
Doing good, watching more elden ring videos while I chill out
dying from no the finals syndrome
How sick would this game be with the fortnite level of skins. If it blows up enough, I would love to see different famous characters in the game like have Ahsoka as a skin for light and then make a lightsaber skin in place of the sword. The Rock for heavy
In one of the first game reveals, they had vehicles in it. I would love to see some sort of conquest mode (I’m sure the devs know how to make one of those) and then you could have vehicle skins: DeLorean, Batmobile, Lightning McQueen.
Because the theme is “it’s a game show” the skins can literally be anything as long as the general shape is correct. And they already have so many cosmetic slots it would be super easy to just add small things that reference other things if they can’t get the rights
Imagine a tiny little Charlie Brown swings around a corner and just 360 no-scopes you with a sniper
it's a game show sure but the drip gotta have at least a few logos of the in game companies
Sounds like a good time honestly :D
finally done
wow
actual psychopath
i wonder how many cheaters are out there in the war games lobbies
play 5000 games of war games
damn
Couldn’t be me
thats some commitment right there
I never said I did it legit 
i went back to the terraria save i completed yesterday and realised i got a 0.07% pet summon item without even knowing
noice
best way to enforce it
half the server on doxbin tomorrow
who threw 4 baby elephants at texas
deservedly so 
yeah

Beau's patience is on another level, I could never 🫡

Daily “I miss The Finals” post
i miss the finals
I miss the finals
I miss the finals
Lmao
mm, nice name

bored to hell, any ideas what to do?
stare at the ceiling and drool
barely alive + I have no strenght currently to be sweaty
Warhammer vermintide two if you havent played it
Vermintide 2 is a great game
Why not darktide
Darktide kinda sucks
I see
you'd think vermintide 2 with guns would have been good, it was not
Fr darktide is.. meh. Its because the missions feel so ungodly long and repetitive
And everyone is still booty on darktide
darktide is fun imo. i just woulndt buy it for it's full price now. Darktide is on the game pass
I can't wait until I can finally have a shower 
Stinky
I haven't washed my hair since Wednesday due to having stitches in/around my ear
finally get them out this week and then can finally wash my hair
Oh wth what happened
just an ear op due to having a hole in the eardrum for fucking ages
Damn
it's not too bad apart from the pain + having packing inside the ear
omg... I had a day
but its not something I can talk about here.. but it was a day.. I promise..
I def learned something about my best friend
she tricked me good..
she of the other persuasion?
she asked me to have a coffee downtown and I was like.. sure.. but then she said.. oh I have a meeting here and here.. so I was like.. oh I know that place, sure I'll join
apparently it was a meeting of people with certain... uh
preferences.
some more dominant than others.. thankfully it was just a meeting in a cafe and just socializing but damn I was afraid because I knew that place had a basement..
seriously.. embedded fail now!?
anyway yeah
fair enough 
thats all I can tell you.. I just drank a few beers, let people talk and then left peacefully.. my friend really got me good
the end...
Anyone else kinda bored without The Finals
I heard apex took away the arena mode
that makes me not want to waste time installing it
I am absolute trash at battle royales
Tbf that mode was an unsupported, imbalanced mess from the start
yeah but I still enjoyed it
Don’t get me wrong, I had some fun with friends in it occasionally, but the game is honestly better off without it imo. The rule set made it nearly impossible to balance
And without separate sandboxes for arenas and BR it was just awful for weapon balance in the mode
If you really want an arena based shooter with the movement focus of apex, there’s always titanfall
Wait is arena that mode that basically wants to be CSGO
Yeah
Or is that a different one
That’s arena
Speaking of titanfall, I recognize you from the Northstar discord don’t I?
I haven't talked in the Northstar server yet so no you probably don't 💀
Doing the campaign again first to get used to my new mouse
Haven't finished cause I'm still too busy missing the finals 😭
Fair enough tbh
Yeah well, I'm so bored I am playing splitgate 😂
well, now you got something funny to tell when we get you drunk later
Haha I already sobered up thankfully
Oh like that
Wait.. who said anything about going out..
Yall got bigger plans than me
If Rob is paying I’ll drink anything
There needs to be an announcer voiceline roasting anyone who leaves games early
Wow I’m 41 days away from my existence confirmation date I’m so excited to breathe oxygen just like on every other day of a specimen of the Homo sapiens species
Damn
Add 10 days to that date (specifically the day) and you get the public release date of everyone’s favourite fork of rubydung
so you dont exist? confusing...
are you one of those ai things, semi-sentient or something?
You can’t trust anything or anyone these days. For all you know you might be interacting with a sentient microwave at the moment.
dishwashers are friendlier tbh
so i can ask you do warm up my dinner later? thats not too bad then
i am pretty friendly
I don’t trust dishwashers. I mean almost every single microwave in existence has a window on the front, but I’ve never seen a dishwasher with a window. What are they hiding from us?
I think you're onto something..
never have thought about that before
they are also pretty loud, maybe drilling a hole or something?
The little elves inside are shy
Let him cook
this one is fried so bad that i cant even understand it


Isn't this a McDonald's burger with way too much mayo
what a channel
Yep, it's the extra mayo McDonald's burger
That and add Ian Sinclair as an announcer to do the roasting.
Blimps should be more popular
Bruh

HE LIVES
yes, I do need to grind csgo at some point 
same, it's the bane of my anger management issues 
I've gone 7 years without a single anger outburst... haven't played CS:GO in 7 years 
that's why I stopped playing CS:GO 
and only played it while super drunk with mates since
lmfao same!!!!
We once did the sovietwomble drinking game challenge. One mate threw up 2 times during 2nd half of the game, amazingly we managed 12/16 
ah, good ol' ZF
i mean we lost, but getting 12 round wins while being anything from tipsy to shitfaced is hilarious
yeah, it's more fun when the enemy team is like "oooo, you guys are shit"
mate, we're off our heads and still managed to get rounds in
amen brother
we should play some csgo once I can use my left ear
I tried playing some deathmatch on csgo with only my right ear, doesn't work too well
wait why can you only use one ear? Is the other one at the mechanic for repairs? 
yeah man, needed an oil change and some patch work
So my views on Nexon have 0 standing on my views of Embark and I'm deeply aware they're two very different entities but fuck, they just keep digging themselves deeper into that "We're the scummy publisher who loves to throw the law at people when we've got no ground and while also having a history of doing all kinds of fun and illegal things"
I don't know what effect Nexon has on Embark if any but I hope it's nil because GOD I love this game, I adore the look of Arc Raiders and I'm super interested in seeing what Creative Playground can do as I've already seen some amazing things people have been doing in there
but in all seriousness? Just headset that doesn't work or?
nah, left ear just doesn't work at the moment
wat, how
all full of stitches and packing so can't hear shit out of it
just an ear op to fix a hole in the eardrum
if i blow into your ear, does the wind tickle your brain?
I'm supposed to have an 'eardrum replacement' coming at some point this year, Luke, I didn't realise it was for that
only one way to find out 😉
8'D
This is the weirdest flirting :v
lemme tickle your brain just the right way
they can replace eardrums?
Dunno, honestly, I wasn't told much about it, been almost deaf in my right ear since I was 16 due to airsoft and was complaining about it to my ear doctor (No, I don't know the word, all I know that it is ridiculous and will refuse to learn it until my final breath), and they mentioned something about it and that they'd give me more information at my next appointment
12 long years of my right side sounding like it's under water xD
Same (but left side), if you find a fix lmk 
Have you got a pressure induced perforated eardrum ?
perforated eardrum crew, yay
If so, have a word with your hearing doctor, they might be able to get you in for some form of surgery to either fix the hole ooooooor 'replace' the eardrum???
otitis media?
Yuh, caused by dj'ing and not understanding decibel limits. 
hey hey hey guys do you hear that?
||NVM i guess you don't
||
mine was "Chronic mucoid otitis media"
yea u have to take meds and treatment on that for sure
Mine was from a blank firing grenade (Chambered in 12 guage shotgun blanks) going off about 4 inches from my ear xD Rung my bell XD
I got it once since I was a kid
they did all this for it
So I just did some googling, they replace the eardrum by taking a patch of tissue from underneath your skin just behind your ear and patching the hole up
how much did that cost you?
THIS IS WHY THE TEA SHOULD HAVE STAYED OUT THE FUCKING HARBOUR YOU GODDAM IDIOTS!
UK
lol how long do u have to wait?
I heard that western healthcare systems can take months just for waiting for your turn
about 2 - 3 months when I first went in
I refuse to go to the hospital in a very similar way to Americans but for very different reasons. I don't like to overstress a system that is already struggling to keep up post-covid but the few times I've been forced to go by injuries to severe, all I can say is, if I had to pay for the things I've had done, I'd be bankrupt
lol that's fair
Unless it's urgent, then yeah, you have to wait. If you're currently dying of appendicitis or whatever, they'll go straight in
yeah, the NHS has done so far 2 major ear ops and I've had like 10 grommets in 
I would be out of A LOT of money if I had to pay for it all
I've only just been offered one after being fucking deaf for 12 years XD
Granted, I've literally augmented everything I own to work around it XD

All my headphones are louder on the right side, my phone knows which orientation it's in and turns the volume up or down on phonecalls, etc
Danish freedom of speech 
Freedom of speech? HAHA!
Oh honey, there's people in jail in the UK for tweets
there are people still believe in freedom of speech?
That's not freedom of speech
so literally what I had done basically
not really "replacing the eardrum" 
sorry i suppose i should edit that, 2 sec 
bruh
I mean, I haven't got much eardrum left mate, I saw a photo back years ago, mine looked like an explosion hit it (Because one did :^) )
did you get shot in the ear with an airsoft gun?
Don't u dare to describe it
Nah, there's grenades that you put blank bullets in, either .38s, 9mms or 12 guage, you charge the grenade, throw it and it makes a loud bang and a bright flash
A 12 guage one went off about 4 inches from my right ear on the one day I didn't have earpro
ouch
And poof, eardrum gone, I thought I was totally deaf to be honest, all I could hear was muffled noises and ringing for like 2 days straight after getting out of the hospital
But that was a freak accident that I've never even heard of happening
Well at least in Denmark we do, where you literally cannot get thrown into jail for saying something in private.
In private is the caveat?
Because if you can get in jail for saying anything, that's not freedom of speech
Obviously threats of attacks and harassment are different
bababooey
Boy do I feel lucky :)))))))))))) KMSing myself
just include "in minecraft" at the end and ur fine
on the bright side, if they patch your eardrum @limpid violet, you can experience the fun pain and annoyance of having something stuffed in your ear 24/7 + the constant fluid leaking 
But outside that you can say anything and do anything you want in terms of expression. we have a concept of "ytringsfrihed"
jesus does it leak 24/7?
or just at the time of the operation?
it's been about 4 days and it still leaks
tape a small bowl to the underside of your ear, then when you get to around 19:00 you have a small evening snack
free soup
I only got 2 hours of sleep last night/today thanks to the ear just thumping away and being really itchy inside
i'll take it 🐧
The gamer move (Just be warned, the FBI has caught on and has arrested someone in America for doing exactly this)
Thanks, I hate it
nate is gonna hate seeing this...
oh btw do u guys feel that scrolling with a touchpad is way faster on firefox than on chromium based browser?
don't use a touchpad
donno haven't used firefox in like 10 years
cuz this is one of the few things that keeps me from switching to it
imo hardware rendering on makes it smoother in chromium but maybe it's even better in ff
Working in IT, i'd rather stay away from the browser the the 3rd most software based critical security issues in the last 20 years only behind opera and internet explorer
like it takes about 2-3 slides of my finger to finish an entire screen
while in firefox it just yeets through the entire screen in 1 scroll
working in IT, I'll take the risk 
manifest V3 💀
have they said when the games going to be released? like a time frame or anything
Bro this beta is so good, you should all hop on
yay, my boss has leave today, easy day
