[sharp phoenix]

so far though, I've had baby spiders in my bed, house spider in my jeans, house spider crawling across my pillow when I was laying down

[gleaming ether]

[sharp phoenix]

and just house spiders chilling in my bath tub while I try to take a shower

Also, meet one of the house spiders I caught

[waxen tree]

See I’m much different. I kill them all. I don’t relax till every spider in my vicinity is dead lol

And by I kill them all I mean I beg someone else to kill them lol

[sharp phoenix]

I try to deal with them nicely

or I get the hoover and try to locate it when it runs away

[gleaming ether]

i throw them out of the window lol

[waxen tree]

If you give them mercy they come back, I can’t take any chances

[sharp phoenix]

I remember going to a mates house and using his bathroom and like his whole window sill in the bathroom was just full of weird ass spiders

didn't go in there again

[gleaming ether]

[waxen tree]

I’d never be able to relax taking a dump next to spiders lol

Hence why I need to find and kill this one lol

I’m about ready to get insect killer and just spray it all over my bathroom lol

[sharp phoenix]

insect killer just pisses them off

I'm more afraid if I try to spray one that coming too close, it's just gonna run at me

https://tenor.com/view/jungkookjungkook-jump-jumping-gif-21790716

and then I'll end up doing jumps like this person

[waxen tree]

https://tenor.com/view/sao-sword-art-online-sao-day-sao-hour-sao-time-gif-25269272

I’m ending this lol

[sharp phoenix]

I am waiting for the time where I put my motorbike helmet on and then feel something crawling on my face

[waxen tree]

HAHAHA I GOT HIM!!!!

Either that or I forced another spider out of hiding and crushed it with a shoe 4 times lol

[sharp phoenix]

well, he's 100% dead

[waxen tree]

LET HIM BE AN EXAMPLE!

[gusty pumice]

he could be alive still you never know

[waxen tree]

I crushed him more in a paper towel before leaving him in the bottom of a trash can, if it’s not dead I don’t know how to kill it 😂

[fickle badge]

Cake sounds good right now

[frigid wave]

Yeah, I would have some too.

[trim wind]

there was a chai poppy seed cookie in the bag :x

[pseudo spade]

What is your favorite style/flavour?

[frigid wave]

of cake?

[pseudo spade]

Yes

[frigid wave]

I would go for the cheesecake, no raisins. 👀

[soft locust]

when did cheesecake have raisins 😭

[pseudo spade]

I was thinking the same thing lmfao

[frigid wave]

Unfortunately, they do have sometimes

[pseudo spade]

No Walker, you can't backtrack out of that one lol

[frigid wave]

@main dock you're next to reach finalist! @topaz depot, I can't ping heartthrob but he's also close.. and @steep cloud and @zenith bough are also almost on the homestretch.. GET GOING YO

[astral heart]

i am still far from finalist

😢

[trim wind]

yes.

[pseudo spade]

I'm going to reverse your putt

[pseudo spade]

Remind me, isn't it 4000 messages?

[trim wind]

3955

[astral heart]

wait

[pseudo spade]

I genuinely only hit half way and I've been here since nearly the inception

[astral heart]

i thought it was more

[trim wind]

well.. a month late

[sharp phoenix]

Povich really wants a new rank

[trim wind]

We need the numbers :x

[pseudo spade]

I said near mister

[sharp phoenix]

For the upcoming piss yellow Vs green war? Understandable

[trim wind]

I mean if we are actually starting a new rank it will likely be 5x the finalist role so I wouldn't be there yet..

its nearly 20k D:

[astral heart]

Swa should have his own rank lmao

[trim wind]

I agree

[pseudo spade]

I feel like there needs to be a middle between yellow and green 💀

[pseudo spade]

Swa and Fish the psychos

[trim wind]

I think it would be nice having a rank between rising star and finalist too yeah

[astral heart]

oh i didn‘t meet fish yet

[cinder wedge]

bro pinged some dude named final

[pseudo spade]

He's british

[trim wind]

I mean fish and Darnoux and kyne are all sorta clumped together and I am gaining on them so I shouldn't say they Swa level

[pseudo spade]

And cool I suppose

[astral heart]

https://tenor.com/view/british-gif-26077384

[trim wind]

oh shhhh

[pseudo spade]

Kyne and Darnoux got mod so I no longer count them

[trim wind]

Haha thats fair

Darnoux already has a custom rank anyway

[pseudo spade]

They get to be red, and that is far cooler than anything we could achieve

[astral heart]

how did they even get mod. I mean they are probably not employed by embark. right?

[trim wind]

level 33 would be the level for a new rank.. we'll call it the Verstappen role

[trim wind]

they aren't, they are volunteers

[pseudo spade]

They are volunteers selected by Embark

[sharp phoenix]

I can feel it, Povich will be the next mod

[pseudo spade]

I haven't actually seen Darnoux in a while

[astral heart]

did they apply or did embark just ask them?

[pseudo spade]

They were asked

[astral heart]

a

i think they should ask swa too

[pseudo spade]

I mean they have 4 full time Community Managers that watch over the server now too

[trim wind]

I'm pretty sure that if I was in the running to be a mod I would've been asked already

[pseudo spade]

Pretty sure they're good for now

[astral heart]

yeah

[sharp phoenix]

Give it a few months before full release

[soft locust]

We all do

[astral heart]

but then there would be confusion with yours and BaconLords pfp lmao

[trim wind]

[pseudo spade]

[trim wind]

[trim wind]

wow.. could use that adoration

[astral heart]

i am currently in school and my math teacher just doesn‘t care that i am chatting with you since he knows i understand it lmao

MS Paint able to use layers = next space age?

Oh and alongside layers, all images export without the canvas

This is the beginning of commercial quantum computing

[trim wind]

or.. just means Paint caught up with photoshop from 30 years ago

[austere crag]

Or you could download photoshop 2.0 from adobe’s website for free

They did this so people would stop [acquiring in legal manner] more modern versions of photoshop by giving out a version from 31 years ago. Genius plan fr

it's a convenient way to install/uninstall programs on your computer via command line

I guess lol. also first time hearing windows having a packet manager

I thought it'd be only for w11, but it's also for w10

[pseudo spade]

Oh heck yeah gamer!

@bleak turret How do you start your shift? Have any rituals?

[bleak turret]

Nothing really special I assume? Just normal work-related things.

And a coffee before anything else

Coffee seems to be the common denominator

Okay sleepy time now, goodnight chat

[austere crag]

Just saw this on r/pcmasterrace. Until some mf spends 779 million years trying to crack my 1password master key i ain’t dying.

[gleaming ether]

let's look at this again in 10 years

[trim wind]

this is.. nah I have doubts about the instantness of the last column

[cinder wedge]

yeah i'm not important enough to care how fast it's going to take to crack my master password

[pseudo spade]

You'd be surprised, some people just want to be malicious

[cinder wedge]

i'm 1 in a few billion
i wouldn't get randomly targeted right

[pseudo spade]

Take it from a cybersecurity professional, make at least 3 passwords/ emails for varying levels of security in your life

Best way to go IMO

[cinder wedge]

i'll deal with it once i'm actually a functioning person in society

[austere crag]

I’m too lazy to remember passwords so i submit my funds to 1password to generate strings of nonsense and autofill them for me

[cinder wedge]

real

[pseudo spade]

Valid method

[pseudo spade]

Until 1password has a data leak

[cinder wedge]

2password when

[austere crag]

The last incident with password managers has been LastPass, 1Password never stated that their security has been breached

[cinder wedge]

never stated=/=never happened

[gleaming ether]

you can do a personal system for your passwords which consists of a "base password" + features of the specific site incorporated into the base password. for example put the last letter of the site's name in the middle of your base password, etc. by this you can have unique passwords for every site all in your head

[austere crag]

Technically it’s 8password since their client is on version 8.0 but that sounds stupid

And every major number release is basically a different service entirely, just merges your previous data

[soft crystal]

I kind of do this

[austere crag]

The 2 worst security crimes you can commit is storing passwords in a raw text file or cache them in your browser

I experience a mild-to-severe headache every single time firefox asks me if i want to save my password for the website i’m on

[gleaming ether]

best way to do it imo. just gotta have enough features of the site and a good base password. and when even then somebody gets hands on multiple of your (clear-text) passwords he probably won't be able to guess how to use this system and break into your other accounts.

[austere crag]

Thank god it’s still bright outside i would’ve been flashbanged by the text’s background otherwise

[rotund gyro]

Lower your phone brightness indoors

[trim wind]

yeah use your indoor brightness

Top ∞ things to do when waiting for THE FINALS® to release:

Make mac and cheese
Clean your room
Clean up your desktop (I know you have a shortcut for some game you installed 8 months ago, played for 3 minutes then never again somewhere)
Chat on THE FINALS® discord server
Close your old Discord DMs
Organise your emails
Go for a walk
Look through your Steam discovery queue, who knows what you’ll find there
Go online shopping on IKEA’s online store to stock up on BLAHÅJ (very important task)
Look through your memes folder. Don’t lie to me, you do have a memes folder. We all do.
Experiment with combining various ingredients from your fridge into a complete dish. Maybe you’ll manage to discover a new recipe worth sharing with the world.
Dig through your pile of electronics that have long gone out of use. We all have that 1 phone that just stuck around because no one wanted to buy it, or you never tried selling it in the first place. You might unlock some memories you completely forgot about.
Think about what you’re planning to do next summer, whenever that is in your region.
Sketch up a mockup of how you could upgrade your current desk setup

[sharp phoenix]

nice list

[trim wind]

its pretty good indeedos.. also respecting the IP.. which seems over the top

[sharp phoenix]

"Organise your emails" - not gonna happen though, too much effort now

[hard coral]

I'm gonna be annoyingly nitpicky here but I'm pretty sure the Ikea item is BLÅHAJ

[sharp phoenix]

what's the best ikea desk to buy?

[agile shoal]

Thanks

[cinder wedge]

This doesn't look very ♾️

[sharp phoenix]

Chatting on the discord server is ♾️

[austere crag]

The time to complete it is

[cinder wedge]

Real

[trim wind]

probably the second cheapest.. never the cheapest but also never the most expensive one

[sharp phoenix]

sound logic

[trim wind]

I have no clue haha

I think any desk that has some weight to it

[austere crag]

Most W desk you can get is just use a worktop held up with stands

Slightly wobbly and hard to put together but you get the freedom of picking the exact dimensions you need + you can attach as much storage to the underside as you need

[nocturne tundra]

Much less wobbly if you grab an angle piece and connect the desk to the wall

And also less wobbly if you dont use the cheap 5€ Ikea legs

[austere crag]

• being perfectly flat from both the top and bottom makes cable management easy

[cinder wedge]

Most W desk is one you don't have to pay for

[austere crag]

I use 2 metal drawers and 2 of those shitty legs and it works well enough

The legs are only meant to help with making the surface even near the middle, since otherwise it can start bending down

[sharp phoenix]

I was looking at maybe getting the Alex draws but £80, jesus

or something like this https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lagkapten-alex-desk-white-s59417619/

[cinder wedge]

Damn bro fishin with style

[trim wind]

the tabletop weights 12 kilos so its probably pretty decent yeah

[zenith bough]

Well then you already beat the game before starting it 🤷

[trim wind]

ideally you want solid tops

[steep cloud]

Gonna play a couple of games of GO with my brother, then I’ll be on to chat and get dat exp

[sharp phoenix]

it's not about me, it's about your progress to green

[trim wind]

personally I wouldn't even get the full desk, jsut get the table top and tyhen buy the types of drawers you actually want

[dusty kernel]

egg

[cinder wedge]

Egg

[austere crag]

Prebuilt desks just like prebuilt PCs are kinda goofy cringe since the manufacturers cut corners to save money

So you get something that will become trash in 5-ish years

[trim wind]

https://tenor.com/view/new-world-frank-sunny-iasip-philly-gif-23298149

[cinder wedge]

Real

[dusty kernel]

i own a prebuilt and had to buy an ssd and more ram for it to actually work properly, never making that mistake again

if i will ever wanna buy myself a new pc - im building my own, fuck prebuilds

[cinder wedge]

Just pick parts and have someone else build it

[dusty kernel]

but at least it came with a good gpu, decent hdd and ram

[sharp phoenix]

what was the gpu?

[dusty kernel]

1060 6gb VRAM

[cinder wedge]

10 series was goated

[dusty kernel]

it might seem old but those 6gbs of vram do their job really well

[zenith bough]

Rank #28... How the mighty have fallen 🫠 Still 500 messages to go 🏃

[dusty kernel]

i can run FH5 in almost max settings with RT on in stable-ish 30-35fps lol

[cinder wedge]

Eyo rt on a 1060

[dusty kernel]

local raytraced car reflections, it's not full RT

only the car reflects on itself, aint much but does it's job especially while taking photos

i have everything maxed out in FH5 apart from texture quality and enviromental detail that i keep on ultra

goated gpu fr

[trim wind]

saving up for a 4080

4070 is nice but not future proof for me

[sharp phoenix]

just get a 4090 if you're gonna go for a 4080

[trim wind]

my next monitor is probably goingto be higher res (4K effectively)

I can't.. won't fit my case

[dusty kernel]

40 series aint worth the money imo, i'd buy 3090 and stick to it

[sharp phoenix]

I'd say it's kinda worth the money

expensive af? sure but it does deliver

[trim wind]

I don't think a 3090 is worth the money over the way better performance per dollar of the 4080

[cinder wedge]

What about the efficiency

[trim wind]

my issue is the 4080 is the most powerful card I can fit in my case.. I can only go up to three slots :c

[sharp phoenix]

just buy a new case 😄

[trim wind]

no.. I will stay with mini ITX

[dusty kernel]

4090 gets 21 more point on user benchmark and difference in fps is around 30-50fps depending on the game

[cinder wedge]

Based

[sharp phoenix]

surely there's an aftermarket 4090 that doesn't take many slots

[cinder wedge]

Just water cool it

[dusty kernel]

yeah pour water on it and itll cool down

[cinder wedge]

Fr

[dusty kernel]

or place an ice pack on it

[trim wind]

if you can find me a 3 slot (or less, so not over 60 mm) 4090 I will look into it

[gleaming ether]

beer works too

[sharp phoenix]

I will try my best

[trim wind]

I can't find one..

[dusty kernel]

but beer is sticky

[trim wind]

lol I already found it

its the same shroud as the 4080 I looked into

[sharp phoenix]

nice

[trim wind]

I still don't think I need a 4090 but the 4070 ti doesn't have enough ram and the 4070 doesn't either

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, they do love skimping out on ram for some reason

[trim wind]

the 4080 is 450 euros cheaper though

[austere crag]

Doesn’t have enough vram = game devs are getting a bit too comfortable with the capabilities of modern hardware

[cinder wedge]

Haha pny

[trim wind]

if the 4070 had 16 Gb ram i would've gone for that np

PNY is the only one that makes theis size card :c

I'm not happy with it either but there is no Strix 3 slot xD

[sharp phoenix]

PNY aint too bad

[trim wind]

its fine, I have a friend who has the 4080 and he says its running like a charm

[austere crag]

You’re trying to tell me i need the highest-end GPU to play a PS5 launch title? Keep telling yourself that.

[sharp phoenix]

talking about last of us?

[trim wind]

well no.. but futureproofing without compromising on settings isn't cheap

and PS5 sells at cost

[austere crag]

Yes, imo it’s totally more about optimisation and a lot less about NVIDIA skimping on VRAM

[trim wind]

and is equal to a 3070 probably.. just has smarter optimisation because its not running on flipping windows

[austere crag]

I do plan going team red next GPU if the whole ROCm thing works out

[austere crag]

That’s true too

[trim wind]

It also has like a ton of ram but shares it with cpu which is pretty smart.. APUs are damn nifty

[sharp phoenix]

• it's just one set of hardware they have to optimize it for when it runs on a PS unlike PCs

[cinder wedge]

True

[trim wind]

sony can make a loss on the ps5 because they'll get it back from the games they sell 😉

[austere crag]

It’s kinda like instagram on iOS vs Android. Even if you have the highest end android phone the picture quality will still be degraded due to the amount of android devices far outweighing the amount of iphones

[trim wind]

its basically a f2p model except that they invest in the hardware

[sharp phoenix]

Also, why not go for a 7900XTX Povich?

[austere crag]

So developers have to go at a compromise and just use generic APIs to save time and make sure every device is supported

[trim wind]

they give the hardware away at cost so they can make money on the actual player experience

[trim wind]

I am not an AMD gpu fan :x

[austere crag]

If i had the decision to upgrade my GPU right now i’d go with AMD

[sharp phoenix]

fair, kinda understandable considering AMDs past with drivers and stuff

[austere crag]

I just got this DM’d from a friend and now i’m extremely concerned https://www.google.com/maps/@-19.0225296,-65.2595978,0a,75y,233.99h,72.04t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAF1QipPo6a7fu5D8P-2vLJA5Bqw4VtFJ3BT_Unmn7NDM!2e10

Uh oh

What the fuck happened here and how did google approve this to street view

[sharp phoenix]

well, that's sus

[trim wind]

I mean its also just.. nvidea is more stable

[austere crag]

You don’t say…

[trim wind]

as of rn.. most games I play that are new most complaints come from people with AMD gpus

[sharp phoenix]

I haven't really played any new games however Hogwarts legacy worked A LOT better on my 6900XT than my 3080

[cinder wedge]

SUS amongus

[trim wind]

interesting..

[austere crag]

Won’t even mention that the latest COD barely worked on NVIDIA gpus for a few days after launch

[cinder wedge]

It's not as if nvidia doesn't ever have driver issues

[trim wind]

I think console first games are better optimized for AMD because both ps5 and xbox series use their sockets

[cinder wedge]

I've encountered 2 issues since I had my 3060ti

[austere crag]

Ive had no issues with my 3080

I’ve only experienced issues in cod mw2 and the original warzone

[sharp phoenix]

MW2 is just full of issues anyway

[austere crag]

There was a lot of graphics artifacting

Mw2 tends to be buggy at times

[cinder wedge]

One issue was cyberpunk2077 having a completely unusable map and one was the driver not being detected at all once it was installed

[sharp phoenix]

I am looking forward to retrying CP2077 once 1.7 comes out

[cinder wedge]

Will try it again once it doesn't feel unfinished anymore

[sharp phoenix]

that's hopefully what 1.7 will achieve

[cinder wedge]

Crafting tree op :)

Infinite money generation

[austere crag]

Honestly I appreciate when developers don’t just pretend like a game that launched unfinished never existed and they actually keep releasing patches until it’s a polished experience

[dusty kernel]

i've beat Cyberpunk 4 times and have hover 250h on record, I never felt like it was unfinished, just advertised itself as a completely different game, CP2077 is like a fully open world Deus Ex game with more focus on RPG elements

[cinder wedge]

Need cop chases and better driving >:(

[zenith bough]

What (or Who) is the best egg (besides NamaTama)?

[trim wind]

I still think I only need a 4080

:x

[sharp phoenix]

but 4090

[trim wind]

its 450 euros more

[zenith bough]

Some runners up in the Who category:
Digitamamon
Togepi
Gudetama

[sharp phoenix]

the real question is, is the performance worth a 450 euro upgrade for the future?

[trim wind]

and with an sfx power supply thats probably gonna be a messsss

[zenith bough]

4090 is a joke, no one needs that. Povich, stick with 4080 ❤️

[trim wind]

I could use that to buy a better monitor

[bleak turret]

You can give me the 4090

[sharp phoenix]

good point

don't like your 7000 series card?

[austere crag]

Split the 4090 for the rest of us

[trim wind]

I think a 4080 with a three slot cooler isp robably pretty safe.. a 4090 with a 3 slot cooler is probably a radiator

[bleak turret]

I like it, its just not a 4090

[sharp phoenix]

but 4090 I am the voice of bad decisions

[cinder wedge]

Listen to the intrusive thoughts

[zenith bough]

No, keep your coin purse closed.

[dusty kernel]

my intrusive thoughts say "go play Fortnite"

[trim wind]

nah i have a list of things and the 4080 is like.. the last thing on that list because its so derpy expensive

and thats only possible because tax returns

[zenith bough]

It's a recession, crazy inflation, and 4090 is beyond necessary. Don't fall for the peer pressure

[sharp phoenix]

could always wait for a 5000 series and save a few bucks when the 4000 series goes down

[trim wind]

true.. but...

I already feel like after rebuilding my 1080 2 times I need to get rid of it

[cinder wedge]

Ok no don't listen to that

[bleak turret]

I can't be trusted with financial advice

[zenith bough]

You can trust me with it

[sharp phoenix]

I usually tend to not buy stuff and then I get drunk and I instantly buy the item

[cinder wedge]

Buy the 4090 (this isn't a financial advice, this a financial order)

[austere crag]

I almost never buy stuff but when i do it’s expensive

I am the type of fart smella to contemplate a purchase for the next 3 months before committing to it

Same

[bleak turret]

Totally don't drink and browse

[austere crag]

A friend of mine once bought a cs go knife while drunk

Think its was a bayonet doppler

Example: the iPad i’m typing this on was first considered by me in December 2021 before i bought it May 2022

[austere crag]

If they still have that knife they totally like made bank after the recent events

[trim wind]

crowdfund me a 4090 and I'll get it if it makes YOU happy

[sharp phoenix]

but will it make you happy?

[austere crag]

6000 IQ plan

[zenith bough]

This is the way.

[bleak turret]

Alternatively

[austere crag]

Guys it’s only $1599 MSRP we’re not that far off

[austere crag]

Who knows i havent spoken to them in a long while

[bleak turret]

You can try to butcher-twine two 6800XTs together and yell at them to see if it becomes one single unit

[austere crag]

Why use peer pressure when you can just take 2 6800 XTs and blend them into one, then glue all of the shreds back together into 1 GPU?

I just misspelled shreds there ain’t no way

Actual pistachio sized brain

Thats like taping a ps2 and a ps3 together to make a ps5

[trim wind]

SLI is dead. even if you tape two gpus together to be on the same shroud its still SLI xD

[sharp phoenix]

but it'll look sick

[bleak turret]

Indeed

[trim wind]

the performance would be abysmal

maybe worse than having a singular card

[bleak turret]

Ever seen HD7850 Crossfires?

You'd be stylin' on all gamers

[trim wind]

haha yeah that was when SLI/Crossfire was still a thing

[austere crag]

Technically all you need for an RTX 4090 is $60 but my lawyer advised me to not explain the process of acquiring said graphics processing unit with such a discount

[trim wind]

hehe

did it fall off the back of a truck?

[sharp phoenix]

I think you should try the 7900XTX Povich, cheaper than 4080

it might change your mind about AMD

[trim wind]

sounds like a risky proposition

[bleak turret]

Or give him a headache

Price to performance wise, yes its a better buy than the 4080 but AMD drivers will be AMD drivers

So far I haven't experienced a single random crash, even in VR, but theres still a lot to be fixed imo

[sharp phoenix]

think about it as early adopter tax, you may get shit drivers however at least AMD usually fixes the problems as times go on

minus idle watt problem

• the AMD driver software is so much better than the nvidia one

[bleak turret]

That is true

And undervolting this puppy makes it go fast while at 74C insane loads and 62C high loads gaming, on a very bad airflow case!

[trim wind]

I kidna jsut want the rtx performance too

and FSR works both ways

[sharp phoenix]

it's basically 30 series performance for RT

[gleaming ether]

so in November 2019 I upgraded my GPU. It was the first time I got an AMD GPU (5700XT). I was playing iRacing back then as well as a different game, and regularly during playing I had a black screen for 10s with a message afterwards telling me that the GPU kernel driver has crashed. I gave that GPU back (literally at the end of the 14 days I could give it back; the salesperson was asking me weird questions as if I was just buying it to rent it for 2 weeks and then just give it back or something LOL) and then bought me the 2060S for 419€ instead. That was my little experience with AMD so far.

[bleak turret]

My best AMD experience was with the 6800XT so far and now I'm trying the 7900XTX

6800XT is hands down a beast, had 0 issues with it and it kicked ass at all times

[pliant orbit]

seconded

no driver issues or anything issues really

other than some high temperatures, but a slight undervolt remedies it

[topaz depot]

I feel like I'm back in a sales job and you're my manager yelling at me for metrics lol

[dusty kernel]

we need open beta or more closed beta tests

[cinder wedge]

real

[steep cloud]

real

[dusty kernel]

or even better - stress test, give EVERYBODY free access for weekend and gather data about bugs, performance ect.

although i feel like stress tests would make more sense closer to the games release

[steep cloud]

pray for stress test to come out tomorrow 🙏🏼

howdy

I'm hungry :c

[wicked fable]

consume food

this is a threat

[lament fulcrum]

I'm going down The Java vs Bedrock rabbit hole rn.

I miss the console versions of minecraft.

Random, I know.

[trim wind]

I ordered food ;x

[lament fulcrum]

What kind of food?

[trim wind]

vegan pokebowl.. in the form of a kapsalon

[wicked fable]

those are ... words

[lament fulcrum]

Yes

[trim wind]

they are

[lament fulcrum]

I eat dead animals alot....

:X

[trim wind]

ok

[lament fulcrum]

I was joking.

Does anyone play retro games or no?

[topaz depot]

Hell yeah! I have the old Nvidia shield with a 500gb hard drive set up with retroarch and it runs everything up to the gamecube like a DREAM. One of my favorite time killing devices.

I go back and play NES-PS1 rpg's all the time.

[lament fulcrum]

That's tight. I remember the nvidia shield. I never actually used one. Gamecube is where it's at. I've got the Wii U adapter. So I play with actual Gamecube controllers.

I play n64 a lot.

N64 is my favorite.

[topaz depot]

N64 was my collectathon go to.

Banjo Kazooie is still my favorite collectathon ever

[lament fulcrum]

Banjo Kazooie was dope. I had that as a kid. The way that game felt back in the day was craaaazy!

I was always so mystified by it.

The mobs in that game were really creative too. Rare was dope. Nintendo blew it by not acquiring them.

[topaz depot]

Yeah and the music in the game was such a good fit, hit the mood perfectly. I always loved the "voice acting" too lol

[lament fulcrum]

That voice acting was so janky and compressed. Lol.

In a good way though.

[topaz depot]

Yeah dude first attempts at it and it was smart to make that non-language, gibberish style but try to match up the tone.

[lament fulcrum]

They had to do that because the cartridges only held 64mbs of data.

That's why sqaure jumped ship on N64 and developed for ps1.

That ff7 n64 demo looked rough.

Sqaure even tried to tell Nintendo it was an issue and Nintendo blew them off.

[soft crystal]

Oooh the original game is older than me but I loved to watch videos of it as well

[soft crystal]

java>> and debate ended

bedrock only good imo if you want to play with people on console but still, I hate it

[lament fulcrum]

Console editions are better because no updates to ruin the game. Old school music and the UI was perfect.

[soft crystal]

idk what is the 'was' state but the current UI bedrock has is awful

[lament fulcrum]

They're fully abandoned by Microsoft and don't have telemetry linking you to Microsoft's servers.

No drm

[lament fulcrum]

Yes, bedrock feels off to me. It did at first, I kinda got used to it. Now however I'm starting to realize something still feels off.

It's like a circle of,"hmmm???"

Idk

Villager joke.

[lament fulcrum]

I forgot what the minecraft egg show is called

Jason?

Idek, I could Google it but I'm lazy.

[soft crystal]

um the what?

I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person

[wicked fable]

villager news?

[lament fulcrum]

Fine, I'll look it up.

[lament fulcrum]
