F's in chat for cs Skin peeps
The Finals would never do this

[dawn bay]

im so cooked.

[lament musk]

hmmm? what did cs do now

[sharp phoenix]

made it so you can trade 5 red (covert) skins for a knife

[river lily]

https://tenor.com/view/elijah-wood-hobbit-its-some-sort-gif-12360932

oh so tldr they just crashed the knife market SELL SELL SELL

[nocturne tundra]

so all the knife skins are worthless now?

[nocturne tundra]

nvm you already spelled it out for the idiots (me)

[odd skiff]

W cs❤️‍🩹

[river lily]

Yeah ig you can just trade garbage for the rare stuff that people were paying tons for. Ig some knifes are like already 50% down.

idk ngl i have like 10 hours in cs ever. all of them in surf

i kinda wanna play some surf

[wet oxide]

Cheapest covert skin at 12$ yesterday is now 50$. 💀

[sharp phoenix]

They are still worth money just not as much as they were

And yeah red skins have sky rocketed

[river lily]

yeah I saw someone in the comments of a video saying they just sold a fuk ton at like 3$ lmao. Imagine over the years 💀

[wet oxide]

FIVE coverts too is insane.

[river lily]

idk this is why I avoid this stuff, one day boom your digital assets are garbage.

[wet oxide]

Basically getting a red now is a big deal, hoarding on gloves and knives, not so much.

[river lily]

and the garbage is now gold. too volatile for me

well im assuming idk wtf red covert means lmao. I just understand its lesser then a knife

[wet oxide]

I used to have an entire green loadout like 10 years ago, m9 bayonet gamma phase 2 too. Back then it was worth 500, sold it for 1k. Now it's like 8k or something 💀

[wet oxide]

Coverts are red rarity. It used to be the best/rarest kind of skins you'd get on a case. Before you'd need to turn 8 skins of the lower rarity to get one of the tier above, with red rarity being the last tier.

Now you can use 5 reds to get one knife. Before you'd just get knives out of pure luck.

[sharp phoenix]

10 skins

[wet oxide]

Yeah 10*

[sharp phoenix]

Luckily I sold my butterfly gamma doppler and karambit doppler like a few months ago

[river lily]

ah I see, I never really understood how the CS economy really worked.

My bud a long time ago in HS used those trading sites, bought his first car with money from a game. Thought that was crazy.

[nocturne tundra]

I sold a pubg skin for 5€ when they first released 🤝

[river lily]

ive put tons of those steam game cards up for sale for cents but nobody ever buys them 😂

[earnest merlin]

Why did Embark do a downgrade on graphics for Arc Raiders??

[river lily]

Visual Difference: Some noticed a visual difference between Server Slam and earlier tests on certain hardware. The default settings did change a bit to favor more performance, and we are looking into tuning further to strike the right balance.

Hi Dr.Mighty sorry to interrupt if you are busy its a really random question, would you mind sharing what computer spec you use for developing games?

[lament musk]

privately it is a high core count ryzen with loads of memory and a high end radeon. at work we have different types of machines, most are fairly high end as unreal is quite expensive to use. Depends a lot on what people are working with of course

[eternal onyx]

Thankyou!

[rustic ravine]

Amen to that

[lament musk]

[sharp phoenix]

or like your audi did

[lament musk]

should ask my aging german acquaintance he had like 8 porsches at some point

mostly old ones as well, i think he had a 356 even

[rustic ravine]

He's aging with a lot of porsches?

Just get in his will, ez free porsches

[high obsidian]

Hey, we still miss the audi dearly. She was a trooper

[lament musk]

not sure he can even drive anymore, might be able to snag one cheap off him, for old times sake :D

[lament musk]

what model is it

[rustic ravine]

Maybe he's got that one model you've been looking for this whole time 👀

I forgot which one

[lament musk]

he probably does, he was already collecting in the 90s when these were current

the last aircooled one, 993 or so?

[high obsidian]

Was a an A4 wagon with the fancy 8 speed gearbox. She took me from england to germany and back like a dream

[lament musk]

oh fancy, those arent supercommon i think

[sharp phoenix]

it was comfy

[hallow lichen]

All i want is to get my performance back its taking so long. Worst part is i have to install most programs again

[civic oak]

What is the average response time to an egg mail sent to a mod? It’s been about 14 hours.

[lucid siren]

Anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 weeks, depends on the importance and amount of other tickets submitted before yours, but they always get to them

[civic oak]

Thank you

[spring cliff]

they are pretty busy with both TF and arc raiders eggmails, so i'd expect a day or two

[civic oak]

There is no egg mail for Arc Raiders. That’s actually why I’m here.

[carmine crow]

I think gia meant that like you, everyone from arc raiders server is coming to here and also submitting egg mail so I'm sure they're flooded

[lament musk]

why would you need eggmail for arc raiders at this point?

[carmine crow]

Beyond me

[finite juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-need-no-reason-why-steven-tyler-aerosmith-angel-song-i-dont-need-a-reason-gif-24478108

[thorn nymph]

Depends on what it is. I'd give it a week.

[hallow lichen]

well thankfully most of my games were on my other ssd but most programs were on the windows one. ig ill just keep reinstalling when i realize i dont have this or that

reinstalling an operating system, huuuu. i do that every decade or so. my linux install has been running and upgraded from the late 90s, and my windows is a upgrade windows 7 i installed when windows 7 was release candidate

he worked with troubleshooting and programming robotics and machines for the metal industry

[lament musk]

yeah, that makes sens

[cedar lintel]

boys if anyone knows shi about pc specs dm i need help

[atomic cypress]

couple years from now this thing will be considered antiquities

[atomic cypress]

it's better to ask here

[lament musk]

what do you mean, that thing is 40 years old, it already is one xD

[quiet shale]

AI says a item need to be at least 100 years to be considered antique

[lament musk]

ai knows very little clearly xD

[atomic cypress]

i mean at what point in history these very old tech things gonna be sold as actual antiques for very high prices

[cedar lintel]

alr so im buying a pc and i got two options they both got r5 7600X the first got rtx 5060 the second got rx 6700 (non XT)

[atomic cypress]

go with the rtx 5060

[cedar lintel]

im lowk looking for better fps in shooting games like cs2

[quiet shale]

i second this, at least at this price range

[cedar lintel]

rtx 5060 better tho?

[atomic cypress]

i mean both gonna get you high fps CS2 is not a heavy game to begin with

but the rtx 5060 is way better

[cedar lintel]

alr ty

[atomic cypress]

arc server is so unhinged wtf is going on there

[thorn nymph]

I don't even know how people can converse there much with that 2-3 minute cooldown. Those of us with constructive conversation don't bother much because we can't actually converse.

it can do aluminium seemingly as well

so the whole pulse stuff

[quiet shale]

nice, i dont have pulse on mine, bought a new kombo machine this summer

i can du alu mig though

[lament musk]

it can do the usual stick stuff as well, but i figure it is probably mediocre at all of them as there is no silver bullet xD

but it will do, didnt feel like buying real kit for like 30ksek

[lament musk]

nice! any good?

[quiet shale]

its great

[lament musk]

Best way to do well is to, honestly, not care, and make what you love, and hope other folks who also love what you love jump on for the ride.

[verbal drift]

i don't really know what i love or want...but i'm learning data analyst and on the side i can start a digital gift cards store page, it's a good market in my country and i can make something off of it, i know where to source the gift cards and proccess everything there but what i'm stuck on is making the page and make it run

[mint void]

how do you lock a VC to stop randoms jumping in when you don't want new people jumping in?

[thorn nymph]

I think that requires admin changes, so I don't think it's possible from your side. Even though I never use the Discord VC's, I've never once seen one locked, and have even accidentally entered some before.

I can't believe it... I just found a song that I heard in the VERY early 90's, on a mixtape in my Mom's car, and I'm kind of freaking out that I finally found it. None of us knew enough of the lyrics to find it. I was lucky enough to randomly come across another song that had the same back beat, and it was all I needed to lead me to it. WOW. I remember trying to summon the Reddit mobs to try and help, but all I could remember was the crazy shrieking towards the end, lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqJJeY-cPu0

And the only reason we only heard that song was because my Mom was fast-forwarding to get to this, which followed.

I expect them to improve it, based on their update. It was enough of an issue for them to address it, so expect slightly better visuals at launch.

[lethal maple]

I am sad

Goodnight!

[eternal onyx]

Yo NJ back to reddit?

my personal feelings is that its not a graphics downgrade but rather a small change in visual style. (i prefer tt2

so yea i wish it could go back

It was a regrettable move, but yes, lol. I'm sticking entirely to just a few subreddits, not straying into any random territory. So far it's been tolerable.

[eternal onyx]

yea i'm using it in a similar way

in tech subreddits people complain sooo much about everything

on reddit, people hate windows 11 and macos, they hate ios and android, some times it gives me the illusion that all modern softwares are junk but in reality they all work just fine.

im just too scared to connect the wires (soldering)

[eternal onyx]

shocker i actually built a ton of those before

soldering is hard, you can buy one of those soder boards and try soder cables on them first

the solder point on your first build will look bad but as long it connects and doesn't look like its falling off you are good

make sure you get a good quality iron and solder wire, it does make a difference

and just make sure to double check the manuals and watch a lot of tutorials

No.. it's abotu what i expected

If it were around 1k I would be like.. damn that is less than I expected

[lament musk]

1700 euro xD

what in the world

i bet it stops working whenever AWS has issues or something xD

[trim wind]

Don't get me wrong, I understand it's dual boiler and stuff but it has all this unnecessary tech that to me only makes me think it's not gonna be working after the first month

yeah..

my thoughts exactly

it's gonna show you ads after 3 months

I know it's that type of machine

[lament musk]

for that money id get a professional machien instead

[trim wind]

they're gonna sell you a subscription to weigh your beans

[trim wind]

I mena i guess you could argue its a grinder and piston machine in one..

[lament musk]

it is, but i would be surprised if it still works in 3 years of daily use or of anything in it is servicable

[surreal bone]

i just figured out you can disable the grid the desktop icons snap to

[surreal bone]

yeah but they addressed the wrong thing

the post talked about default settings presets but those arent the problem

even max settings look different (noticably darker)

maybe thats just a change they made to the dam map though

When you can't sleep and wake up at 5a, tell yourself you'll just start work at 6:30a, so you can end your Friday earlier, then end up logging in at exactly your normal time, so now you can both work a normal schedule AND be ultra-tired, lol. #HappyFriday

[quiet shale]

and i need to work sunday, yippee

[thorn nymph]

Ugh, yeah, that's a pain. I'm very likely going to be doing that in about 2 weeks, if not this week as well. >.<

[quiet shale]

just get a moka pot, best way to make coffee imo

moka pot and Qualita Rossa

[thorn nymph]

They mentioned they were trying to lean more towards performance vs. quality, and in that, they took the slightly odd approach of, rather than lowering the floor and keeping the ceiling where it was, lowered both the floor and ceiling, at least that's how I interpreted it. I'm hoping they bring back at least the "ability" to hit those TT2 levels.

[surreal bone]

yeah but you cant even really tell that they lowered the ceiling

performance-wise the game seemed slightly worse for me and some people while graphically the only noticable change was the sun intensity seems to be like 75% of what it was in tt2

[thorn nymph]

I based it mostly on the screen comparisons I saw on Reddit, along with my totally scientific "something feels off", lol.

[surreal bone]

i had to turn off global illumination to get a steady 70+ fps

didnt have to do that in tt2

[thorn nymph]

I can only speak from the PS5/PS5 Pro perspective, unfortunately. But yeah, I definitely didn't have the "aw" moments I had with TT2 for some reason.

[surreal bone]

but even with global illumination, 1440p dlaa, and max quality settings it still didnt look as good as in tt2
just because they made the sun darker

[thorn nymph]

If I think about it, it's like things didn't feel as "contrasty" this time around.

[surreal bone]

exactly
by lowering the brightness of sunlight they lowered overall contrast

it has a ripple effect

the lower contrast also makes stuff seem "blurrier"
maybe it was an attempt to hide anti-aliasing artifacts

[thorn nymph]

If that was the case, yeah, we need to reignite that sun.

[surreal bone]

wheres holtow sun insurance when you need it

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-holtow-sun-insurance-gif-12365673367185591600

if they dont fix it though im going to try using rtx hdr and that should help

[thorn nymph]

And yeah, if they were trying to hide certain aspects with these changes, those were definitely things I didn't notice, at least on the console level. I would adore it if they can get a good bit closer to TT2 at launch.

[surreal bone]

i think graphics should just be entirely reverted to tt2
better performance, better visuals

at least the epic settings
they probably did improve lower settings or else they wouldnt have kept the changes at all

[thorn nymph]

Unless they noticed something performance-wise that was contributing to crashes, glitches, etc., yes, I would absolutely hope for that.

Though I will say, that whole "no foliage" at low settings thing people are mentioning? Yeah, that DEFINITELY needs to be fixed ASAP.

[surreal bone]

yeah

hopefully its something that the 10 day gap between slam and release is enough to fix

if its not then they should at least disable the low foliage setting temporarily

people could make up for the performance by lowering other settings if needed until thats fixed

[thorn nymph]

That would be nice.

[thorn nymph]

Cool beat.

[austere crag]

Thank you

[eternal onyx]

cool🔥

small suggestion if you don't mind, if the kicks can stand out more by adding a bit more side chain or just boosting the volume by 1 to 2, it would sound even better!

[eternal onyx]

is it a coincidence that arc raiders has a chicken and the finals has an egg?

[thorn nymph]

[nocturne tundra]

[odd skiff]

nows the question what came first the chicken or the egg

[eternal onyx]

in embark's case the egg

[odd skiff]

and from scrappy we could make

[surreal bone]

if we all eat our scrappys then embark will have no choice but to give us more

yo this is crazy

[odd skiff]

does my alts have votes?

[surreal bone]

arc raiders is the steam category icon for tps

the finals is it for destruction AND arena shooters AND competitive AND team-based

[odd skiff]

W embark❤️‍🩹

[gleaming ether]

1 vote per scrappy owner i'd say

[odd skiff]

what if i create multiple embark ids

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

yooo first thing i see when opening steam W embark

[eternal onyx]

bruh i'm generally impressed how apple can develop so many proprietary file formats.

some do seem to work better tho

[lament musk]

steam will show you stuff you interacted with before, so it is probably a lot due to you being part of SS. but thats good either way, no matter where it came from :D

[odd skiff]

ive been watching too much arc💔
i will get a heart attack and die once it releases

[eternal onyx]

[prisma fulcrum]

Might remake this but what are yalls thoughts?

[eternal onyx]

i just love this concept art so much

[thorn nymph]

This is where the lighting is more crucial than ever. I loved that map. PRAYING they return to something close to TT2 levels of quality.

[zenith charm]

But I like chicken

[eternal onyx]

i wish they do,

[thorn nymph]

I literally have wings from last night sitting on my table, lol. RIP to Scrappy's extended fam.

[odd skiff]

buried city oh where did you go💔

[zenith charm]

Fr that was like one of my favorite maps

[odd skiff]

space port is a bit bland and dam i would give a solid b-a tier

[thorn nymph]

Space Port really shines, ironically, when the weather is dark and rainy. I loved that atmosphere.

[odd skiff]

same goes for dam

[eternal onyx]

unpopular opinion, i think the main reason they changed the color scheme in server slam is to improve visibility of other players.

[odd skiff]

i hope not i would like the sneaking and surprising

[thorn nymph]

I hope that's not the case, because the lack of contrast made everything look more bland and meshed together.

[odd skiff]

unpopular opinion i would like 3 safe pockets back

[eternal onyx]

they will, its probably in higher tier backpacks

[eternal onyx]

thats true

[sharp phoenix]

I think the game still looked great and didn't even really notice any graphical changes

[eternal onyx]

well from the summery they made after ss it seems like they will improve upon this,

[eternal onyx]

i can't really tell what changed but i do felt something was off for a while

then i got used to it untill some one made a comparison video

[thorn nymph]

I had that "something's off" feeling the whole time, and it felt like the volumetric lighting that felt rich and engulfing was majorly toned down. And I know @surreal bone mentioned the sun itself potentially being dialed down.

[fallow cedar]

Anybody facing login issues on the PS5? I'm seeing TFLA0021 error code.

[eternal onyx]

tt2 spaceport and burried city night raid gave me sicario night scene vibe some times

its just so beautiful even now its a mere impression

[thorn nymph]

Check in #⚡┇the-finals-chat. I saw a bunch of connection complaints earlier in there. I think something is down.

[odd skiff]

i was soo stupid in tt2 and in server slam i became smart

[sharp phoenix]

the one comparison I saw was someone who was on a 1060 with medium settings. I get it looked better in TT2 on medium settings but yeah, gotta make the game more stable for a host of lower tier hardware.

[thorn nymph]

Buried City at night was really amazing. Got a mix of Sicario and freakin' Arabian Nights, lol.

[lament musk]

everybody just relax and wait for launch :)

[thorn nymph]

My presumption was that there's something stability-related that they were trying to account for with that change. It's nice to hear that they've noticed the feedback, and maybe we'll notice a happy compromise.

[odd skiff]

nah

let us worship arc raiders

[eternal onyx]

just make it adjustable in settings

[sharp phoenix]

you let gamers have too much control then they'll start crying when it causes issues

[thorn nymph]

I'll trust the chef's in the kitchen. 😉

[lament musk]

this is a bit like the fov situation with THE FINALS xD

there are still people who think we made the game slower after beta, which is both sad and hilarious

[sharp phoenix]

yeah that was great

[odd skiff]

be fast or you die slow

[void echo]

why the fuck would you do that?! MY EYES

[lament musk]

i put my icons where i want them to be! i approve of this! xD

[sharp phoenix]

does anyone actually use their desktop to open things?

[eternal onyx]

used to not any more

[thorn nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/bill-hader-chaos-bill-hader-snl-gif-13642841

[lament musk]

also the only time i see my desktop is the 10 seconds after my computer booted up, which is happening every other month max

[surreal bone]

i wanted to position the recycling bin under the soon-to-be-corpse of that tick
so i messed around and found a way to disable the grid lol

[odd skiff]

i got it all arranged on the left side

[void echo]

i too approve of the idea to put them where you want them to be, but not scatter them all over the place

[lament musk]

they are an art installation!

[eternal onyx]

i'm quite a fan of mac's spotlight and i use the similar method on windows ever since

[void echo]

oh, my bad. art. i forgor

[lament musk]

yeah, i dont know anybody who does that either

[surreal bone]

well i played on absolutely max settings in both tests and it was noticably worse still
but its an easy fix i can just use rtx hdr to make the sun brighter if that change isnt reverted

[sharp phoenix]

fair, I just didn't really notice a difference and I'm also on max with no DLSS because game runs good enough

[surreal bone]

yeah im using 1440p DLAA with no framegen

[sharp phoenix]

the joys when an unreal game can be ran without upscaling

[surreal bone]

fr

[lament musk]

i mean, thats not so hard, but it is harder to do that while looking like Arc Raiders I suppose

[eternal onyx]

nice flex

[surreal bone]

yeah arc raiders, the finals, and gta6 are all in their own league of graphics quality

[eternal onyx]

arc and finals are such a good example in the modern game industry imo

[surreal bone]

yeah

[eternal onyx]

also the menu ui design

actually looks nice while being intuitive

one thing i really disliked about bf6 (i like the game) is the ui design

[sharp phoenix]

I would like an inventory tab at the top of ARC raiders main menu instead of it just being tab key

but yeah

[surreal bone]

also a hotkey to sell / recycle items

the right click thing is painful

[eternal onyx]

i actually wish the list of access could be at the bottom for some reason. wanted to post this as a feed back but probably too much of a personal preference.

[lament musk]

i bet there are quite a few things that we will keep iterating, just like with THE FINALS, so QoL stuff like that will come. dont forget that we play our games more or less every day, so we would get annoyed as well and fix them .)

[odd skiff]

are there any ps5 players over at embark hq?

[eternal onyx]

they definitely have ps5 there and they test the game on them for optimization

[surreal bone]

looking for games to play and i keep seing arc raiders 😭

That was extremely broken in the Server Slam. Issues with proximity, and the reproducible bug where if you ended the round in prox chat, you were muted in the lobby until the next round. And the "robot voices" with prox chat in-game.

[odd skiff]

Need Last of Us on Xbox 😭

[thorn nymph]

Yeah, that's a toughie. While I can see tons of Xbox properties going to PlayStation, I can't say the same for PlayStation to Xbox. Crazy, while I prefer PlayStation, less competition is going to drag Sony into bad habits again, and a consumer base they know they won't have to try as hard to retain. I actually hope Xbox has a bit of a revival, but again, it's looking bleak.

[earnest pendant]

If the rumours are true and the next Xbox is like an affordable gaming PC optimised for controllers and TVs with Steam integration, that could be a pretty big game changer

[thorn nymph]

Sony was at their absolute best in the moments following this. They really need to be humbled again.

[thorn nymph]

Yeah, that would be awesome, actually. I think Xbox may be working on optimizing the actual Xbox experience on the PC landscape.

Hay @gleaming skiff I read your profile. I’ve been waiting for days for a response to my egg mail. There has got to be a better way to reach a mod.

[gleaming skiff]

Hey!

It’s most likely related to ARC. If that’s the case, that server will probably have its own ticket system in the future, but not before launch (and I’m not even sure how long after launch it will be)

[civic oak]

Well I was able to speak to a mod recently about ark using this egg mail. That’s why I’m confused. Thanks for the info

yes, we are the salmon roles.
yes, we get confused with the red roles. 🫡

[nocturne tundra]

Man fuck tarvkov, I made the mistake of buying the game and then realising they delete all your shit with every major update

[hallow lichen]

I dont wanna be red, that would mean im a communist

[odd skiff]

you are now

https://tenor.com/view/abhtcaq-gif-4120463012545943884

[hallow lichen]

Id rather be a no role than a red

[eternal onyx]

well red can mean the finals too

[odd skiff]

leave the server and rejoin you will be white role

[hallow lichen]

I mean it keeps the game entertaining at least for me but i cant handle it being a 2nd life

[hallow lichen]

But green progress

I wanna be grass

its not a game for every one, certainly not for me, the grind requirement is unemployment💀

[hallow lichen]

Either buy the pve for 30€ or get spt

[eternal onyx]

bro i'm not spending one minute tucking in bullets in a mag thats the kind of thing in tarkov, but some people will like the immersion and i get it

[hallow lichen]

Fuck the paid pve

yes

Yeah I stopped when I saw the 5 billion attachments that you have to sort through because they only fit on one gun...sure it's realistic but that's just tedious

[hallow lichen]

Ive gotten used to it

[eternal onyx]

this i would only barely want to experience in ready player one vr suite

[eternal onyx]

is this the new monster hunter game?

[swift falcon]

Hmm

[finite juniper]

The game need gliders

[mellow kiln]

some said that back in tech test 2 or earlier test, flying arcs won't try rolling to get rid of raiders riding on top of them

[sharp phoenix]

that's what made Tarkov fun though and worth playing every now and then

[odd skiff]

thank god embark made it optional

[swift smelt]

idk what sort of magic they need to use not to make it dead on release. it's sad, imo, because it has one of the best art directions ever in video games

[odd skiff]

art raiders

[void echo]

arcathon

man, what a waste. i genuinely feel bad bcs it's such a waste of potential

[odd skiff]

true

[void echo]

imagine what the marathon showcased in those cool trailers in vids, but actually realized. like crysis-like detail and all

big oof

[swift smelt]

the marketing leading up to the Marthon closed alpha was interesting, but the gameplay itself didn't seem too compelling to me

[void echo]

the marketing was one of the best in video game history. i hope this doesn't offend anyone, because i genuinely see it as such.
the gameplay was dogshit. lost interest in the whole game as soon as i saw it. well, actually, that happened after i watched some of the full gameplay videos from creators.

i don't think the game can be saved. too much money is required for that

[swift smelt]

they definitely spent a good amount on marking for it

you could tell by the stream for it

[void echo]

the stream was as much of a mess as the gameplay. if you're asking me, the only good things were the videos, the digital art, and that's about it. i mean, the whole creative direction, but that's separate from marketing

[eternal onyx]

in server slam they try to roll you off?

thats pretty cool hahaa

[odd skiff]

also hes 20 up why wouldnt he should know about having a cheat software open while playing games could get u banned

[void echo]

im sorry, but how big of a loser do you have to be to cheat in video games? it's so pathetic and low. i mean, it could be so much worse, but what do you get out of it? i never understood the mindset of cheaters

might want to delete the pic. the costume to the left appears to be nsfw

[odd skiff]

aint that a frog tho

oh no nvm im fucking stupid

[void echo]

a frog? now, idk what kind of frogs you have in your area, but the ones i've seen are green, lmaoo

[odd skiff]

idk maybe special colored frogs

[void echo]

genuinely made me laugh out loud

[frail wagon]

I would delete this

https://tenor.com/view/car-gif-1917034709042174203

Embark should add an AI that walks with you like a robot that we took control over after beating arc down, like a reminder that we as humans control AI and that AI doesn't control us

[midnight gale]

Seems like game modes related to quick cash have the problem...

[subtle gyro]

You can tell it's Canada by the trees

[jolly sluice]

in that case they import their trees from norway

there is no difference there really

[subtle gyro]

I never traveled out of the U.S

[jolly sluice]

nordic climates in general tend to have the same type of growth i think

[surreal bone]

Fall is identical to summer and winter is just summer but the grass is dead

Probably just a florida thing though tbh
