[ornate maple]

Okay, I sense that some time in 2023 you will be playing an online game.... Seems to have shooter mechanics and include an egg?

[rotund gyro]

Wrong, I’ve lost all my limbs and sight from todays training

[ornate maple]

Damn, guess you'll miss out on THE FINALS then

Hey, I found it for you @ornate maple #🥚┇off-topic message

[ornate maple]

Well, he did say wrong

[trim wind]

thats true hahah

he's denying it himself

[ornate maple]

Yasine just said "I will not be playing THE FINALS" and we have him on record

[trim wind]

yup

if he does it would be a bannable offense

[rotund gyro]

I said I can’t * play the finals

[rotund gyro]

ban DEEZ NU-...

[rotund gyro]

you knew you had it coming, don't act surprised

[ornate maple]

Yasine is testing me today

[rotund gyro]

your final exam is at 4 pm

[ornate maple]

What's the exam for?

[rotund gyro]

it's a pop quiz, can't tell

[ornate maple]

[waxen tree]

Whose watching f1 quali today

[trim wind]

I am

[spiral phoenix]

i am.... watching the quali highlights on youtube

[waxen tree]

As much as Iv missed the finals I’ve been missing f1 the past couple weekends lol

[trim wind]

same same

makes me want to reinstall F1 22 but then I remember EA made the handling boring :c

and its so buggy.. especially online

[spiral phoenix]

F1 22 sucks so much

[trim wind]

I hope F1 23 does well!

[spiral phoenix]

especially trying to play coop career

[spiral phoenix]

have u seen the teaser they posted yesterday?

[trim wind]

I have not!

[spiral phoenix]

check easportsf1 on twitter or insta

[waxen tree]

I played f1 2019, 2020, and 2021. Then EA took over and I haven’t played since lol

[spiral phoenix]

yeah dont bother with f1 22

[waxen tree]

The league im in said we were gonna take a break until they fix the game, season hasn’t resumed yet lol

[spiral phoenix]

oop

[trim wind]

playing f1 2020 after playing F1 22 the 2020 cars feel so much more grippy and light haha

[spiral phoenix]

f1 2020 was the best frfr

[waxen tree]

Yeah the last gen of cars are objectively faster lol

Which seems counter intuitive to me but hey I’m not the fia lol

But then again if I had my way the v10 would be back lol

[spiral phoenix]

even if f1 23 fixed the game and its amazing, i wont be able to afford it ;-;

[trim wind]

who knows they might be able to go back to bigger displacement or more cylinders if they can produce carbon neutral fuel

[waxen tree]

What they have now I know is an improvement

I’m sure as technology progresses engineers will figure out how to get more carbon neutral

I just want that v10 scream man 😂

[trim wind]

the only thing I don't like about some of the concepts is that they catch co2 from the air.. and then pump it back into cars.. strictly speaking its carbon neutral.. but in reality you are just moving carbon around

which means the city still has smog.. its just being caught quicker.. so you still breathe in co2..

[spiral phoenix]

that sound like an engineering nightmare

[trim wind]

NO NYCK

you dumb dumb

[waxen tree]

I’m not even remotely knowledgeable on science I got no way to add possible solutions lol

[spiral phoenix]

i mean realistically, do we really need to save the planet?

[trim wind]

seriously.. I was so happy that de Vries got a seat but this is hurtin

[waxen tree]

I think the first place is to stop littering, Iv got a bunch of camping nights under my belt and it’s just pathetic how much trash you find in the woods

[trim wind]

there is a reason why I avoid flying, grow as much as I can myself and always try to get stuff local if its not too outrageously expensive

[waxen tree]

Yeah same idk how the man performed so well in a Williams but now can’t perform in a car powered by a Redbull engine

[trim wind]

he's a great driver.. but if he costs too much he won't survive.. I was hoping he'd do well enough to maybe drive next to Max in a few years

[spiral phoenix]

Nooooooooooops!!

[waxen tree]

That’d be awesome but I don’t see it happening now unless he gets his act together

[ornate maple]

Heyhey

[waxen tree]

I’m hoping Daniel gets back to Redbull tho lol I miss that pair

[ornate maple]

Oops

[hard coral]

Hello!

[ornate maple]

One day I'll get a giant 500l bag to collect trash in my local forest... It's an abomination

I literally found a whole like, child stroller in the forest

[trim wind]

my parents do hikes with a bag and oversized grabbers

and they get like 120+ liters each week

from a sub 10 km walk

and then people think its weird I travel by train ... Nate...

[waxen tree]

In Boy Scouts we had a competition once at a lake where all the patrols in my troop were given giant trash bags and whoever had the heaviest bags of trash won. In about an hour, EVERY patrol filled up trash bags and had large debris in their hands. My patrol won btw lol we found a boat pontoon on a shore lol. It was just sad tho how people just thought it was cool to throw all their trash into bushes without any care

[ornate maple]

Oh, grabbers are a smart idea

My friends hopped in on the bottle collecting because there's machines that pay you for them

[ornate maple]

This is very cool, I'd grab all the trash if someone offered me, like, chocolate

[trim wind]

that's what homeless people do too

[ornate maple]

It's smart!

[trim wind]

which I'm kinda happy about 🙂

because they are indirectly helping us recycle more efficiently 😄

especially now smaller PET bottles have money on them too.

[rotund gyro]

[waxen tree]

[hard coral]

I think most of my favorites are animals doing adorable things tbh

[novel gulch]

i don't blame you, i love watching animals bein cuties

It's friday! What's everyone doing for the weekend?

[charred ingot]

[novel gulch]

[sour plank]

Moved recently, so organizing is gonna be my weekend 🫠

[hard coral]

Our "making THE FINALS" video from a universe where we used birds as voice actors for all the guns

[novel gulch]

that would be amazing lmao

[novel gulch]

congrats on the move!

[sour plank]

April Fools update to change all gun sounds to birds

[hard coral]

My average time to unpack everything after a move tends to be about ~6 months

[sour plank]

omg lol

We unpacked a lot of stuff already but there's some left. Also had to leave my desk and chair behind

[hard coral]

but at least you get to buy new ones then, that's the best part of consumerism!

[sour plank]

lmao that's fair, i was thinking of getting a new one already

will smell brand new

[novel gulch]

i haven't even gotten to play yet but that sounds amazing

[trim wind]

I feel like a criminal.. my parents gave me two sodastream canisters and they are clunking in my bag.. it sounds like I’m carrying a freaking bomb

[full mauve]

place something between them and under them if you have it?

[trim wind]

Nah its fine haha

What is he cooking!?

[nocturne tundra]

Cable Management is fun wdym

[nocturne tundra]

omg buy a Hermann miller embody

[sour plank]

I enjoy it, dw lol but its a lot of work, i'm lazy most of the time lol

[sour plank]

Jesus christ the price

2.8k USD where I live. Yeah that aint happening

[nocturne tundra]

It's 1.7k here lol

I know the price is hefty but literally everyone i know who bought one said it's awesome and totally worth it

[austere crag]

Or just get an ergo office chair

[sour plank]

We have a local brand that makes really good chairs and offers 7 years of warranty, my last chair was from them and it was amazing

[trim wind]

I got one of these at my job

They are really nice

[sour plank]

It was an office chair, but now they came out with gaming chairs too 👀

[sour plank]

👀 those look interesting

[trim wind]

They kinda force you to sit straight because if you don’t it feels like someone is trying to fold you in two haha

It is.. bouncy stool haha

I have a noblechairs but I’ll gladly do a swap for this

[hard coral]

I have a "malmstolen" (swedish brand), they fit me really well and luckilly we use them at the office too so I get to feel like home in the office

[sour plank]

They look amazing 👀 I love their marketing photos are the chairs out in the wild lol

[hard coral]

haha I could see them doing that

I like them because it's a nice "premium" chair but a lot of nicer chairs kinda dictate how you sit to make you sit correctly, since I like to sit weird I like these more

[sour plank]

Same, I used to sit in the weirdest positions before I got an ergonomic chair. Had a lot of trouble deciding between it and a gaming chair, but being healthier won

[trim wind]

Omg the open vertebrae

That looks dope!

[hard coral]

I don't think I sit badly, just weird, like I like to pull my legs up, or sit cross legged while I work

[trim wind]

I love Scandinavian design, but Ikea doesn’t really solve that itch..

Oh wait its not supposed to be open haha

Regardless it looks amazing..

My sister has some kind of funky danish chair that you can sit backwards on

HAG Capisco

[hard coral]

The danes tend to do the really out there designs

[trim wind]

Yeah but its pretty cool that you can sit on it backwards too

I’m starting to think my noblechairs wasn’t the smartest choice eventhough it has been holding up very well

[waxen tree]

I sit cross legged and I think it’s superior lol

[hard coral]

Creative sitting positions leads to creative thinking! I have absolutely no sources to back this claim up

[nocturne tundra]

sitting corss legged is the best

no cold feet

[trim wind]

Just look at Rob to confirm it

[austere crag]

don't require much space, can basically live off of rain. also they're pretty tasty

[lament fulcrum]

Yum

Wild berries are delicious

[austere crag]

i'm gonna say something controversial

pineberries > strawberries

i dunno they just have a similar taste but tend to be sweeter

[hard coral]

We have "smultron" in sweden, it's called wild strawberry in english I think which doesn't do it justice because they taste very different, they're awesome

[austere crag]

i couldn't care less;

[analog valve]

Are they sweet?

[hard coral]

Yeah, same sweetness as strawberries I'd say

different flavor though

[austere crag]

dear english, why is there no actual official name for this peculiar berry

[cinder wedge]

what peculiar berry

[waxen tree]

I never noticed that lol you really did play the long game with that very good name choice lol

[gleaming ether]

could also be MToast...

[hard coral]

this is one from my balcony

[gusty pumice]

ooo nice

[gleaming ether]

what lovely little spikey strawberries these are

[austere crag]

Fragaria Vesca, AKA the wild strawberry

[waxen tree]

If you squint your eyes those berries next to the strawberry almost look like… pineapples. Now we just need a pizza and we got a party!

[sour plank]

I love the way you think

[austere crag]

i'm split on pineapple pizza

i don't particularly hate it, but i think a pizza like hawaiian is just too mild

Sweden's retrofitting a highway to change EVs while driving down it but I wish it actually included details of how that would work.

I trust that it does, I just wanna see how they're doing it.

[soft crystal]

how about a copy of the game and 1850 dollars worth of chicken nuggets?

[austere crag]

not worth

there's no way that you're going to eat 5880 in 1 sitting/day, and stale nuggies are gross

Yo La Fogata! I know that place! It's behind a really nice burger place that we take family to when they visit. You can see a bit of Lake Michigan if you look at the horizon. I was not expecting the finals discord to hit this close to home lol.

[placid turtle]

its a franchise tho

this one is in georgia

or was i think it closed

[floral oracle]

Right but that specific one I've been to, so it's weird seeing that specific one

[placid turtle]

you said you can see lake michigan from it

in georgia

that doesnt quite add up

[floral oracle]

There's one in southeast Wisconsin.

[placid turtle]

ye cause its a franchise

[floral oracle]

Yes this restaurant is a franchise, what I'm getting at is that the specific restaurant from your photo you sent is the one that I'm familiar with, the southeast Wisconsin one near Lake Michigan. Honestly idk where this conversation is going I just thought it was interesting seeing a part town that I'm familiar with on a discord server like this and wanted to share 👍.

I probably should have mentioned that in the first place lol

[placid turtle]

no i got all that, im telling you i took that picture in georgia, that isnt the same place you know

or like uhhhh i don't know provide viable arguments that prove that your side of the story is a more complete and less biased version of the event the argument is about????

funny

[trim wind]

Woaahh

[full mauve]

notcraft_ are you having a moment today

[waxen tree]

Where the f1 watchers at???

[austere crag]

No I’m just getting closer to the grass toucher rank by posting unfunny jokes

[full mauve]

lmao

you got this

[rotund gyro]

GOOD AFTERNOON

[austere crag]

top 40

i'm getting there

macosicons.com my beloved

actually best website

[waxen tree]

Seriously no f1 viewers lol

[austere crag]

IT'S A GOOD AFTERNOON INDEED

[full mauve]

never watched it

[rotund gyro]

I AM ABOUT TO PLAY

horizon forbidden west

[full mauve]

:o

pretty good game

[rotund gyro]

it is indeed

[full mauve]

i’ve only played Zero Dawn

[waxen tree]

Well what better time to start than this morning lol

[rotund gyro]

forbidden west improves on everything horizon has

i really recommend it if you enjoyed zero dawn

[full mauve]

i’m not at home so no

[full mauve]

i don’t have a PS5 though

[austere crag]

I DUNNO I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT, STOPPED BUYING CONSOLES AROUND 2019 EXCEPT FOR MY SWITCH

[full mauve]

i’m a pc player

[waxen tree]

Rip

[full mauve]

got the two week hype for totk

[rotund gyro]

i have a pc too, but exclusive games is for my ps5

[austere crag]

I HOPE THAT IN CASE THERE'S A PC PORT IT WON'T SUCK (JEDI SURVIVOR MOMENT)

[rotund gyro]

and my switch

[austere crag]

ok the caps joke is getting boring

[rotund gyro]

bro im so PISSED at jedi survivor

i KNEW it was gonna be a grbage port when they never showed any streamlined demo

[full mauve]

door technician boss fight 💀💀

[rotund gyro]

i loved jedi fallen order so much and im fking pissed at respawn

[full mauve]

fallen order was so fun

[austere crag]

so you can't benchmark jedi survivor

denuvo 👍

[rotund gyro]

it's actually not denuvo

they have an in-house drm program which is worse

[austere crag]

i have no idea how you could possibly make something even worse than denuvo but it is EA after all and they're good at sucking

[rotund gyro]

but.... it's not denuvo. it's their own DRM

[austere crag]

quantity > quality is their middle name

[full mauve]

ports are usually ass so i’m not surprised, it’s better to actually let the community do it themselves lmao

[austere crag]

https://tenor.com/view/spinning-rory-charles-graham-rag-n-bone-man-turning-around-the-room-is-spinning-gif-18986961

AAA companies when a game they've been working on for 5 years barely works on launch

[full mauve]

no regret

[rotund gyro]

before 2023 ports were pretty decent

[austere crag]

modern day AAA gaming makes big rigs: over the road racing look like a fucking masterpiece

[trim wind]

I’m on a train!

[ornate fossil]

And then in the end it works fine 6 months later. Why not just work for 6 more months instead of releasing it super early

[trim wind]

And my luck I’m on the flipping sunny side so its warm AF

[rotund gyro]

because profits and pleasing investors

they promise way ahead of time that they will release a game

it's all corporate greed

[ornate fossil]

Yeah but SIX MONTHS. Is it that hard to wait for six months for a game to br finished?!

[rotund gyro]

corporate suits don't care

they only think of the quarterly profits and how it will look good for investors. don't look at this from a gamer's point of view

then you'll understand why it's released broken. upper management knows that idiots will still buy the game because it's a star wars title

so why should they delay it? they don't care about us, or the devs working on it

[trim wind]

I mean they established it was a good game aside from the performance issues.. right?

[ornate fossil]

and the poor devs have to do a terrible amount of overtime

[ornate fossil]

that is what ruined cyberpunk. because now, 2+ years later it is my fav game. its beauty was hidden under the infinite amount of bugs but now its a masterpiece

[rotund gyro]

well not in my eyes imo. a good game is a game that plays great. having 40 fps on a 4090 and the best intel CPU won't make it a good game

[trim wind]

They likely already have some fixes that need testing even before the game released

[trim wind]

Well I meant the story and such is apparently really good

[ornate fossil]

and then there is some random mofo (me) with a 1660s and a 10th gen i7 having 100fps on 1080p high xD

[trim wind]

But I agree its very poorly optimized.. shockingly bad even

[rotund gyro]

yeah but sure, I can experience that by watching all the cutscenes on youtube. have I really played it then?

[trim wind]

Its not that impressive graphically afaik

[trim wind]

Ok ok.. but its not a bad game at its core, just released in a terrible state

[rotund gyro]

i'll say that it can be a good game, if it eventually gets fixed

but now, no not a good game and everything else that has great quality won't make me buy the game. I want the performance fixed fully first

[rotund gyro]

how the fuck

[ornate fossil]

we talking about the finals? bcs if you talking about another game i'm sry

[rotund gyro]

jedi survivor my friend....

[ornate fossil]

ah sry

yeah never played that

[full mauve]

just a little lost in the conversation weren’t you Jimm …

[trim wind]

@topaz depot get on it today.. ITS FINALIST DAY

@zenith bough GET ON IT!

@steep cloud GET ON IT!

[full mauve]

oh no it’s Povich’s daily reminder

why is FINALIST DAY everyday :/

[trim wind]

@main dock I MIGHT BE HANDICAPPED WITH MY PHONE BUT YOU GOTTA WORK IT

surely you should make it a single day for the year

[trim wind]

because

They are not yet finalists but are within a reasonable distance to achieve it

And they disappoint me each day they don’t :c

[ornate fossil]

If you open the dictionary at the word lost, you‘ll see a photo of me

[ornate fossil]

Ah we all love the Deutsche Bahn

[ornate fossil]

:c

Ur language is dumb

[ornate fossil]

And, how’s Osnabrück?

[trim wind]

I’m trying to decypher what this means..

Does that mean that the 16:39 is leaving from platform 1 instead of 3?

[ornate fossil]

Yeah the RB66 is now leaving from platform 1 instead of 3 at 16:39

You know, I‘m something of a Deutsche Bahn Experte myself

[trim wind]

I might have to consult you a few times until I’m in Denmark

[ornate fossil]

You aren’t german?

Prepare to be disappointed for a while, I don't talk much, except when I have wild EEs theories 😂

[trim wind]

Unacceptable

If I can do it anyone can

[zenith bough]

Just a year more and I’ll become a finalist @trim wind ❤️😁

[trim wind]

Sigh

I guess I’ll have to wait for the next batch

[zenith bough]

Sorry 😞

I’ll do better

Bootcamp starts now 😎

[trim wind]

My god…

The railroad between Bremen and Hamburg is flatter than the freaking Netherlands

Could’ve fooled me

The flora here is so similar to what I’m used to I might have taken the wrong train and I’m almost home again… geeeee

[full mauve]

[trim wind]

Its sehr langweilig

Or however you write it haha

[ornate fossil]

langweilig is correct

[trim wind]

The good news is that the train managed to turn the 5 minute delay into a 2 minutes ahead of schedule so maybe I’ll get through Germany ok

[nocturne tundra]

hater

[nocturne tundra]

yes

[trim wind]

I’m not completely incompetent then haha

[nocturne tundra]

download the Deutsche Bahn app, it usually has information earlier than the displays

you can also buy tickets right in the app and they update accordingly if shit hits the fan

[trim wind]

I’ll have a little train hopping between Hamburg and Flensburg

But after that I’ll be home free

[nocturne tundra]

neat

good luck

[trim wind]

Yes yes

[nocturne tundra]

That do be Hamburg

You should visit the Miniaturwunderland :)

[ornate fossil]

been there. its dope

[trim wind]

I will be leaving hamburg in 15 minutes though

[nocturne tundra]

That's unfortunate

I think Flensburg has a nice museum about maritime history

not sure if it was Flensburg or some other city tho

[trim wind]

Haha ok ok

I’m gonna be hopping to Neumunster, Rensburg, Flensburg and then hop my way to Frederica

[nocturne tundra]

That's a lot of cities

Why are you visiting so many in so little time

[trim wind]

Traveling >.>

Thought it would be fun to travel in the most sustainable way I could haha

But to not spend money twice I am doing it in a single go, unfortunately its not a trip a lot of people seem to take so I have 9 transfers over the span of 22 and a half hour 😉 but so far its pretty fun.

[scenic mulch]

I love traveling by train! The transfers are easy, not like bus or air transfers

[trim wind]

Haha well I hope so.. some are rather tight

[solar wharf]

Anyone here understands in custom keyboards?

[south turret]

I understand that they are not worth it. Does that help?

[solar wharf]

No

[lone hedge]

I've made my own keyboards a few times

Why, what have you got?

@solar wharf

[nocturne tundra]

how custom are we talking?

[violet horizon]

[ornate fossil]

lets assume he means all the way custom

[turbid moss]

cheddar cheese wiring

[solar wharf]

I wanna buy a tkl keyboard so i am planning on a - MK870 , gateron milky yellow linear switches and kinetic labs key caps

@nocturne tundra

And i want to know if i can get something better at these price range

[lone hedge]

It’d really depend on what you’re looking to do with the keyboard tbh. If you’re doing a lot of gaming there might be some better options, but it’s not like that’s a bad build by any means

Im a big fan of faster response times in keyboards, so I’ve always preferred Optical switches or Wooting’s Lekker switches, I find it feels significantly more responsive that way

But if you ask just about anybody but me they’ll tell you I’ve spent way too much money on keyboards

[solar wharf]

U can get linear wooting switches?

[solar wharf]

And what better options r u talking about?

[lone hedge]

Yeah, wooting’s switches are technically linear and you can order the switches alone from their website. You’d also need Hall effect sensors to get the most out of them though, and that gets a bit pricier

So far as better options go, I mostly say that out of personal preference. If you like gateron yellows and are fine with their response time then you’ll be all set

[solar wharf]

Well this will be my first keyboard and i dont want to make it over complicated

[solar wharf]

They have like 2m reaponse time right?

[lone hedge]

Yeah, stick with simple then. If this is your first time go with the setup you already had. It’s solid and you’ll have a decent time with it.

And yes, that’s about right

[solar wharf]

Oki doki sir tysm 👌

[lone hedge]

No problem! I hope you enjoy your keyboard!

[solar wharf]

Ty

I think i will go with the whale key caps from kinetic labs

Its gonna look really good with the white frame

[lone hedge]

They usually make some great key caps, yeah.

[solar wharf]

Ok ty again

On a sidenote, a woman took her baby on this trainride… I’m not a parent but last time I checked you shouldn’t keep a baby up this long

[lament musk]

are you still on a train? that sounds like fun

[nocturne tundra]

Why are they faking grass with green concrete :/

Wait it's just very short grass

[rotund gyro]

that grass field is an ice ring during winter

random fact #1 of stockholm

[austere crag]

Oooh thats fun

[rotund gyro]

NOOPS
YOU
YES YOU

RECOMMEND POVICH A GOOD CAFE

[trim wind]

And force Yasine there RIGHT NOW

[rotund gyro]

pass

imma be gaming all day

[trim wind]

there is no snow, I promise

[hard coral]

A classic one you should probably try now that you're in stockholm is vete katten https://goo.gl/maps/aPikGp58sgxSr6Ms7 it's an old one, the bakery, coffee and atmosphere in there is all very nice. Might be a little crowded today though

[trim wind]

There is always tomorrow

[rotund gyro]

knew i could count on you, noops

i also second vetekatten. wonderful place

[hard coral]

Convendum has a café I think is nice as well https://goo.gl/maps/4U1AzJw1HTYMGmft5. The atmosphere and coffee is nice there and might be less crowded. The bakery stuff is less impressive though. It's a really nice place to sit and relax, since it's usually not the crowded and is pretty cozy and is pretty close to kungsträdgården if you're still around there.

[trim wind]

I am stationed in Gamla Stan so thats fine to me

[hard coral]

Oh that's cool. Gamla stan is nice, although it is getting more more tourist trap places every year

[trim wind]

Oh yeah I know.. but I like it at nighttime and its close to the center

[coarse sleet]

its noops

how are you noops

[hard coral]

I'm good. Trying out an indie game that's based on nordic folklore, bramble the mountain king. It's pretty fun

[fluid vessel]

Recreate this in THE FINALS

[full mauve]

this will require some great timing

we shall see

[trim wind]

Ok going to check this one out real quick

SPEECH

Covendum is closed.. looks real fancy though

[austere crag]

it's May the 1st so most public spots will be closed due to it being Labour Day

[late prawn]

I wonder if the cat cafe is open today

[austere crag]

That one guy really said
🧍‍♂️🚲

[trim wind]

Vetekatten is so insanely crowded so I ordered a Kardemumma and Cappuccino to go

Hopefully they’re consistent unlike a certain Espresso House

[topaz depot]

Go to the cat cafe and take pictures Povich!

[trim wind]

If Partikel gives me the address or better yet.. hold my hand and bring me

[topaz depot]

Where is this Cat Cafe? Povich is contractually obligated to go take pictures.

[late prawn]

By Odenplan, not far from Roq the rock bar and arcade

[topaz depot]

@trim wind Go Povich! Go! Take pictures of cats!

[trim wind]

Tomorrow >.>

[topaz depot]

Probably a good plan. Labour day and all

[nocturne tundra]

YOO CATTOS??

[zenith bough]

I'm here to say hi...

So hello! 👋

What have the fine yolks of egg-lounge been playing this weekend? ☺️

[nocturne tundra]

Hello

Stellaris :)

[zenith bough]

Oh nice! I've been playing a mix of Wind Waker HD, Mario Galaxy and Deepest Sword

[nocturne tundra]

oh neat, only know Mario Galaxy :D

[zenith bough]

Wind Waker is a Zelda game, the one where you play as a toon link and have a boat ☺️ Deepest Sword is a short indie game where you try to stab a dragon with bigger and bigger swords, until you manage to stab it's heart. First run took 30~mins, but at my 4th try I had gotten down to 5 minutes

Very cute and fun, and it's free 😄

[trim wind]

I’m reading a book

In a room of people.. who don’t even react to my hello >.>

[zenith bough]

Good thing you got a book then

So you can hide from the horrible non-greeters

But let me greet you... Hello Povich!

[trim wind]

Haha well my plans for tonight got moved to tomorrow

The weather isn’t amazing and my friend is stressing out over work… and I feel like this day has already been going on forever

So its better to first properly sleep but it feels like its already 11 PM for me >.>

This book is hella depressing btw

Personally I like Anchor, it's not that far on foot. It's a rock place, slightly dive bar ish feel. Friendly people there and sort of cheap beer (there's few actually cheap places in stockholm sadly)

[zenith bough]

No idea, I don’t drink and the only pub I’ve ever been to is Gröna Jägaren at Medborgarplatsen 😂

So many bike problems

Once had guys jumping my fence to hide from the police lol

[trim wind]

I feel like my life is so boring… although..

This morning I walked out of the hostel and almost got a free copy machine because there was an installer who didn’t speak muchEnglish and I pretty much speak no Swedish so he’s like “copy machine?” And I was like.. well if you’re offering

But apparently there is a company on the ground floor that ordered it so I guess they had dibs

[ornate maple]

Lmaooo

[sharp phoenix]

It's a never ending cycle apparently , at least the new bike also has a tracker and now has a disc lock and a heavy duty af chain

• cameras all around the house

[ornate maple]

Why does everyone want your bike

[sharp phoenix]

They are sexy bikes

• the last bike was probably the most unsecured bike ever

[ornate maple]

I see 😬 I guess that's the price you pay for having something cool

[nocturne tundra]

always buy the shitty looking bike for the city, so nobody steals it 🤝

[ornate maple]

But then you miss out on the really cool bike

[sharp phoenix]

Truee

[gleaming ether]

Buy a bicycle.. so when you lock it at the main station, they'll only steal your bicycle seat

[trim wind]

That happened to me once

[gleaming ether]

damn

[ornate maple]

What is happening there

One of them just falling down? Lol

[sharp phoenix]

Jumping down to see if they can open the gate from what I heard in the clip

Quite funny though as in one of the clips, they started running away once they noticed a camera switched onn

And then they decided to come back

You can see the little shit starts booking it

[ornate maple]

What are they wearing? Amongus looking outfits

[sharp phoenix]

They are pretty sus xS

Anyway, how you doing Nate ?

If CIG made a vacuum cleaner in star citizen.. this is it.

[austere crag]

Even redfall is absolute shit which I’m shocked about because it’s developed by arkane, and their work is amazing imo

[cinder wedge]

fuck off triple A

[austere crag]

It looks like shit and runs even worse

It’s like open world valorant with the performance of cyberpunk 2077 on ps4 in terms of graphics

[cinder wedge]

unfinished + $70

classic

[austere crag]

The last AAA I bought was MW2 mainly to play some COD with the boys + I haven’t played a COD game since BO3

I’ll sleep on the MW2 paid expansion, might pick up the next COD made by treyarch, it’s most likely slated for a 2024 release

[nocturne tundra]

Have you considered strategy/city builder games instead

Frostpunk, Factorio, Cities Skylines, Stellaris, Supreme Commander

Poly Bridge

Journey to the Savage planet and it takes two are pretty neat as well

[cinder wedge]

my playstyle in THE FINALS is the complete opposite of city building

city destroying game where

[austere crag]

I played Cities Skylines and it was a lot of fun, excited for the sequel

[nocturne tundra]

I mean in Factorio you destroy the locals, in Stellaris other worlds, supreme commander other guy

[austere crag]

I’m an avid enjoyer of sandbox games, you give me the tools to do unethical stupid shit and I’ll spend the next 200+ hours doing unethical stupid shit

[nocturne tundra]

Have you played untitled goose game

[austere crag]

Nope. I’ve heard of it but never bought the game

[nocturne tundra]

;(

[trim wind]

Most of them are sleeping!

[ornate maple]

It actually frustrated me to play it alone, I had plans to do it with a friend but never got around to it

CATSSSS

I love cat cafes because the cats never GAF. They're so unbothered

[trim wind]

Cafecito landed too!

[ornate maple]

Did they call it something funny like "catpuccino"

[trim wind]

No… but I’ll give them the feedback haha

[coarse sleet]

u are addicted to coffee

[ornate maple]

That's just normal human condition

[trim wind]

This place is so nice

[ornate maple]

Oooh cat belly

[coarse sleet]

fair

[trim wind]

Some are camouflaged

[ornate maple]

They all seem to be rather small

[cinder wedge]

banan for scale

[ornate maple]

banan?

[trim wind]

Bananabread for scale

[ornate maple]

Ohh I could go for a banana bread, I should learn to bake

[trim wind]

Bananabread is very easy 🙂

Literally flour, eggs, baking powder and bananas (and maybe some sugar or in my case, honey). Add cinnamon and nuts…

50 minutes at 180C

[ornate maple]

Putting a lot of faith in my general culinary skills

[trim wind]

If you get a 28 cm brick like me haha

[ornate maple]

I shall attempt it eventually

[trim wind]

One of the rules here is “turn off the flash when shooting”.. as a americanized westerner I am confused..

Shooting what? .. do they have flash hiders here.. are guns allowed?

[ornate maple]

I do not understand "shooting" language relating to photography

I assume it's because the big ole cameras used to make a lot of noise and smoke

[trim wind]

Why not add photos to the rule haha

That and the catpuccino opportunity..

A new cat appeared!

[ornate maple]

A puma!

[gleaming ether]

hiding like a chameleon

[sharp phoenix]

what is my cat doing there?

[trim wind]

Haha I love the concept here.. its sorta a shelter but very open 🙂

Cats get adopted within a few months and in the meantime they keep visitors company

[ornate maple]

I think many cat cafes operate on the basis of fostering strays and then adopting them out, I love that idea because it gets the cat to be very sociable

[trim wind]

Yup 🙂

If I were to live in Stockholm I would def consider something like that!

[ornate maple]

I admire the dedication to hygiene they require - I have, unfortunately, also been in stinky cat cafes before

[sharp phoenix]

way too similar of a cat

[ornate maple]

Oooh is his leg ok?

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, photo was from like a year or two ago, he went missing for about 2 weeks and came back with a completely fucked paw and a completely dislocated leg

we think he got hit by a car and disappeared to "die" but then didn't die and decided to come back home

[ornate maple]

Damn, strong cat!

You're lucky too!

Is he good now?

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, he's fine, he had surgery to do something like shave down the ball and socket (Femoral Head Ostectomy) and then somehow fix them into place

[ornate maple]

Damn, these cats have a full time job wearing those suits

[ornate maple]

That is great, happy to hear he recovered

[trim wind]

I started teasing them then gave one the prize but he isn’t done yet

[sharp phoenix]

if he came home when he first got injured, probably would have just been an easy case of stitches for the paw and then just popping the leg back in

[trim wind]

Ah good.. was afraid :x

[sharp phoenix]

but as it was dislocated for a long time, if it got popped back in, it would just instantly pop back out

[trim wind]

Ok my time here is up!

[ornate maple]

Do they just chase you out?
