Jake was so preoccupied with whether he could he never stopped to think whether he should

[vestal eagle]

Make mold people

[analog tundra]

make a mold friend

mold homunculus

[vestal eagle]

I think that's a certain bacteria that does that

[vestal eagle]

Name him moldy

And make him do a funny little homunculus dance

[analog tundra]

do a little mold jif

jig

Like this

Every movement would release spores

[analog tundra]

spores that make you fly

[vestal eagle]

And little puffs of gas would fly off of him

I'm so tired bro

[analog tundra]

cause of the mold?

[vestal eagle]

Exactly

The mold is making me tired

Did the game die??

[indigo hare]

No

[lavish blade]

[gusty bobcat]

What's up with it?? I just asked because I know the last game related announcement was back in march

[lavish blade]

the devs are slow as shit for some reason

[indigo hare]

Theyre hard at work on a big update, just suck at communicating

[analog tundra]

i wonder how much stuff they are adding

[gusty bobcat]

Ah I see

[indigo hare]

At least 1

Stuff

[lavish blade]

in what units

[indigo hare]

Stuff is the units

[analog tundra]

[daring sparrow]

how optimized is the full game for radeon cards?
i'll get an rx 9070 xt very soon, and i was looking at this game again

[frank citrus]

pretty good

[daring sparrow]

so will my pc run at 60 fps at least at medium graphics

[stable wren]

Ryoshu is actually Japanese 🤓

[daring sparrow]

as of now my gtx 1660 was coughing up pixels after i put it on low (in the damn menu)

30 fps on a menu screen

that was right after release though

[sour reef]

My bad

[sour reef]

Just try to run it on dx12 if you can

[daring sparrow]

i most probably can

[sour reef]

It ran a lot better than dx11 did for me

[daring sparrow]

i refunded it after release and bought a different game though

gotta wait for the card and then i'll buy it

[sour reef]

I was getting stutters on my 5080 when i ran 11

[stable wren]

Ishmael supporter

[daring sparrow]

rich ahh

[sour reef]

I got it before the price increased

[daring sparrow]

oh well

still

rich ahh 😠

[sour reef]

And i got a pny card so it was only like 200 more than the 5070ti

[daring sparrow]

oh

the 5070 ti is 320 bucks more expensive than the rx 9070 xt

with the same performance

almost same performance* (the rx is around 5% worse)

[sour reef]

Ik rx cards are great for linux but i just don’t really care for them

I like amd cpus tho

[daring sparrow]

linux?

i'll be switching when win12 releases most likely so

that's perfect

[sour reef]

Nvidia drivers aren’t well made on linux

And amd drivers are

So

[daring sparrow]

it so happens for me that i can't afford ddr5 ram so i'll get an i9 12900kf

still pretty solid though

[sour reef]

I like windows 11 but only because i have modern hardware

If i had my old computer you’d find me unironically running some sort of fuckass linux distro

[daring sparrow]

its pretty annoying when "desktop window manager" is eating up 30% cpu at all times

(currently i7 9700)

[sour reef]

I have a 9800x3d

[sour reef]

I have never seen my cpu go above 30% on the home screen

[daring sparrow]

mah gawd

[sour reef]

That was unironically one of the cheaper parts of the build

[daring sparrow]

i'd buy it if i had access to ddr5 ram tho

except ram costs more than the gpu and cpu together rn

[sour reef]

You have to use ddr5 with it… it’s am5…

[daring sparrow]

so i'm staying at ddr4 with the i9 12900kf and the rx 9070 xt

[daring sparrow]

exactly

[sour reef]

Ahh i got my ram right before it skyrocketed in November

I really wanted to get 64 but it wasn’t in the budget

[daring sparrow]

lucky man

[sour reef]

But i got a 4tb ssd and everything

[sour reef]

They used to only cost 250 dollars but wtvr

[daring sparrow]

i still have 2 ddr3 ram sticks and 4 SIMM sticks (1986 approximately)

[sour reef]

Holy fuck

[daring sparrow]

as spare*

[sour reef]

AH

thank the lord

[daring sparrow]

i have a windows xp pc though

[clever cave]

The type of convos Jarvis and tony be having every monday morning

[daring sparrow]

that has a 26mb vram card btw

[sour reef]

Jarvis show me this guy’s search history

[daring sparrow]

ATI RAGE 128 PRO

[daring sparrow]

with a chip on top

[modest wing]

quick question: i came back after almost 3 months fter initially playing it for a few days. is this game been abandoned?

[daring sparrow]

still not talking about that all the drives are HDD

[sour reef]

I didn’t even register that as being a gpu

[daring sparrow]

with around 40 gigabytes

[sour reef]

Oh lord

[modest wing]

no friggin update in 3 months and devs radio silent

[daring sparrow]

why would they abandon this game

[sour reef]

3 months is like 0 time

[daring sparrow]

they should know it can earn them millions

[modest wing]

you tell me

[daring sparrow]

maybe they just had a break

or developing an update

[modest wing]

this game is in the same state as right after release

[sour reef]

Idk what games have you so spoiled that monthly updates are expected

[daring sparrow]

god damn it

[sour reef]

Now the devs suck at communicating with people

[daring sparrow]

cant send images

[sour reef]

Haha level 1 point and laugh

[daring sparrow]

😥

[clever cave]

Lemme try

Maybe im special

[sour reef]

Level 1

[clever cave]

https://giphy.com/gifs/mario-realistic-vNMcPjKfgywJXtn5ax

You have to be level 3

[clever cave]

Dang

[sour reef]

Just chat for a while

[daring sparrow]

special in the brain department maybe

[modest wing]

asking for at least one comment 3 months after release is spoiled to you, dear anime girl

[daring sparrow]

yeah just chat though

you'll level up

[sour reef]

I got it in like an hour

[stable wren]

Ishmael is peak American female

CHUUUUUDD

[sour reef]

Nah that is fair

[clever cave]

Dude what

[modest wing]

i don't know how this can be defended so blindly. I'm honestly shocked that nothing has happened so far

[sour reef]

I was saying more… updates

But

[neat tundra]

the first 2 or 3 weeks after launch created the expectation of like... weekly tiny updates, or a hotfix as they finished them.

[daring sparrow]

is there any update related to grapples in the game since release

[modest wing]

itz's giving me a bad energy and seems to me as if the devs pissed off after collecting the money, realizing this game is unfixable

[daring sparrow]

i need to throw and wrestle more

[sour reef]

I think it has potential, but lowkey i am not some diehard fan or anything

[stable wren]

https://tenor.com/view/limbus-company-ishmael-ishmael-brainrot-gif-11592142758723011036

[sour reef]

I just chat in here

[stable wren]

Ishmael

[sour reef]

I think some criticism is shallow tho

[clever cave]

Who

[sour reef]

Don Quixote >

[stable wren]

Bobbles hates fun

[sour reef]

Basically

[stable wren]

She Spanish

Not American

Ishmael is Murican

[sour reef]

Just a better character

[stable wren]

Don is lame

[daring sparrow]

if that is somehow true, let's hope there's some extremely dedicated fan that learned coding that'll fix the game and keep updating it

[stable wren]

Blonde

[sour reef]

Ishmael can’t be an American where is the guns and obesity

[stable wren]

She lesbian

[modest wing]

I've played almost 30 hours just in a matter of 2 weeks or so... don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed what we got so far and held high hopes.

[sour reef]

You can be an obese gun toting lesbian

[stable wren]

And she like a Ship captain

[daring sparrow]

keep them high

[stable wren]

Boats is very American

[daring sparrow]

optimism is great

[modest wing]

but you gotta be honest and critical that this is not really giving me hiogh hopes after all that this game is sturggling with

struggling*

[stable wren]

Worlds strongest navy 🔥

[sour reef]

Im not throwing in a towel

[frank citrus]

whats the context

[stable wren]

I would agree, if it wasn't for the fact they did hotfixes.

[sour reef]

I think after like 1 or two updates i might

But

Idk

Just needs time

And a social manager

That too

[daring sparrow]

AMD athlon (1 ghz)

[modest wing]

especially in the performance department. i get the technical difficulities. a physics based game like that ain't easy. but maybe they should hire at least one community manager that keeps comms up

[sour reef]

1 ghz cpu

[modest wing]

yep this

[daring sparrow]

and the ATI RAGE 128 PRO ULTRA (26 megabytes of vram)

[sour reef]

It is ghz?

[daring sparrow]

it is

hopefully

[sour reef]

Honestly i think that is the best improvement they can make rn

Shadow dropping an update wont bring an audience

People need time to build hype

[daring sparrow]

am i the only one that never learned to use a sword but invented a grapple technique and a spin kick variant

[sour reef]

I unno

I basically just play map games

[daring sparrow]

[sour reef]

I last played half sword a couple months ago

[frank citrus]

no the

[daring sparrow]

same, started again a while ago though

[frank citrus]

nvm

[stable wren]

That's mcwonder, but he can't say anything because of two things

1. The devs haven't told him anything

2. NDA.

[frank citrus]

hello kepon

please scream at us

[stable wren]

GameSeer has reported some stuff

[sour reef]

Well then that seems like a pretty big problem

[stable wren]

And has been communicating

On the subbreddit iirc gameseer said they are working on communication

And gameseer also recently said some stuff

[daring sparrow]

i just lost because i fell to the ground and dropped my sword that stabbed me to the head and killed me

[stable wren]

Like optimization is coming

[frank citrus]

pierrot was talking like he had a gun to his head lol

[daring sparrow]

[sour reef]

Just hoi4 dlc and THEN an eu5 expansion

Consumed my whole life

[neat tundra]

I don't think its that he hasn't been told anything.
I think he hasn't been given permission to show anything to the public yet.

[sour reef]

And THEN subnautica 2

[stable wren]

He works for gameseer, why would he have a gun to his head

[daring sparrow]

i have no idea what that means

[daring sparrow]

very cool though

[lavish blade]

5 game seers and 3 devs are online upodate soon?!?!

[sour reef]

Basically excel spreadsheets with a map

[frank citrus]

i saw screenshots of him

i guess cuz of the community

[daring sparrow]

what

may i

you know what nevermind

[untold wraith]

Not allowed to show anything because their all sipping pina coladas on a water bar in palm Beach

[frank citrus]

spreadsheet games

[sour reef]

Have you ever seen civ?

[frank citrus]

rule the waves 3

[sour reef]

That but more micro

[daring sparrow]

played civ 1 and civ 6

[daring sparrow]

it DOES mean the civilization series right

[stable wren]

Publishers usually have more power over the dev team, USUALLY.
Not always

[frank citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-ever-happens-gif-4408076016540863651

[daring sparrow]

or am i misunderstanding again

[frank citrus]

not that

i mean like

[stable wren]

If anything

[sour reef]

Yeah

[frank citrus]

i guess its cuz the community is so toxic abt development

[stable wren]

Gameseer likely has their guns aimed at Half sword games

[frank citrus]

i swear if one of the devs came here and started talking

[daring sparrow]

it's like that?

[little talon]

[frank citrus]

there would be atleast one person calling him slurs

[neat tundra]

all we can do at this time is stare at the update history on steamDB and try to guess whats going on behind the scenes based on the random numbers.
we can write fanfiction about the communication

[sour reef]

Similar

Same genre

Not turn based though

[daring sparrow]

sounds cool

[stable wren]

Well wait

[frank citrus]

man i wish i could say something rn

[stable wren]

Doesn't ivan live in Sweden still?

If so

[sour reef]

They will consume your entire life

[untold wraith]

The subreddit will hear about this

[stable wren]

Isn't it that time span where you're forced to take vacation in Sweden

[sour reef]

Man you always say that

[untold wraith]

The subreddit must know

[daring sparrow]

[sour reef]

Idk if people on Reddit deserve any knowledge

[untold wraith]

You don't have any knowledge

[junior depot]

Buh

[neat tundra]

reddit might benefit from knowing the existence of steamDB.

[untold wraith]

The reddit will CANCEL you

[sour reef]

I have a moderate amount of knowledge, i don’t use Reddit

[stable wren]

IVAN! IF YOU'RE HERE! ARE YOU ON VACATION?!?!?

Everyone do the summoning ivan circle

[sour reef]

Just say nice things about denmark he will show up

[untold wraith]

I think i will spam ping Frank and demand for answers on behalf of the R/halfsword subreddit

I think I'll do that

[stable wren]

Isn't Ivan Swedish

[sour reef]

Yes

[stable wren]

I thought he was Swedish

[frank citrus]

i swear i imagine the reddit server and discord server like 2 islands very close to each other but far enough to not be seen by each other and the strandeds are the same people from a crashed ship but like years have passed and the reddit island had cannibals and the discord island had modern technology

[sour reef]

And all swedes naturally hate danes

[stable wren]

Don't they all hate each other

[sour reef]

There you go

[stable wren]

Yeah figured

[sour reef]

Imagine America and Canada times 1 million

[untold wraith]

IVAN! DENMARK IS BETTER THAN SWEDEN! FINLAND HAS BETTER SNOW TEXTURE!!!

There's an HS reddit?

[neat tundra]

yes

[sour reef]

[rancid reef]

Our culture is to consume other cultures

[stable wren]

we shall ignore that like

every other country does that

and in some more intense cases

try and kill it off

[rancid reef]

Nahhh they have at least some cool things most of the time

The UK is kinda the same, but they've at least lived longer

I don't put ireland or scotland in the UK btw

They have cool shizz

[stable wren]

also

US Cowboys, is US culture, and this is not counting native culture

[rancid reef]

That's old culture

They all just turned into farmers

[stable wren]

That's... a cowboy...

[rancid reef]

Nope

[stable wren]

Cow handlers and farmers is considered part of the culture

[rancid reef]

Farmers farm and cowboys cow

Farming isn't a culture

[tulip pond]

holy skill issue

[rancid reef]

Maybe the way we do it is OUR farming culture

Cowboys wrangled cattle and stayed on trails

[stable wren]

US culture is quite literally cowboys, that's part of the culture. And military too

[rancid reef]

Military culture is also a copout

Bullshit culture set on testosterone

[stable wren]

US was built from a war

So uh

Idkkkk

[hardy mirage]

modern US culture is too varied to generalize

[stable wren]

And reminder

Us is

Older than like

Half of Europe

[hardy mirage]

the united states is 250 years old as of july 4th of this year

[stable wren]

Modern germany and Greece are young

Compared to the USA

[rancid reef]

This is the US after independence we're talking about. Most countries in europe have moved borders and shizz back and forth, so they're kinda the same

[stable wren]

And italy too

[rancid reef]

The colonies didn't count because that was english culture

And we threw that out with the tea

[stable wren]

Not entirely?

That's not what is considered a country

Most countries didn't became their modern counterparts till the 19th century

This is because most "countries" weren't even sovereign

And were usually owned by an empire or Kingdom

Britain and france are technically the oldest

[sour reef]

What are we talking about?

[rancid reef]

Well a country is a country, but i'm only referring to US modern culture anyway

[stable wren]

US modern culture is still cowboy culture

[hardy mirage]

do you live in the united states

[sour reef]

Maybe in rural texas

[stable wren]

I do

[hardy mirage]

where specifically? because that seems specifically rural and southern to me

cowboy culture doesn't really encompass the majority of the united states

[sour reef]

It would be dishonest to say American culture strayed too far from British culture

[stable wren]

Florida :p

I see it literally all the time

[sour reef]

You can call it what you like, but they stayed connected throughout history

[stable wren]

And this isn't rly a "just a southern thing"

There is whole events for this else where

[sour reef]

Florida is NOT southern

[stable wren]

What. 😭

[sour reef]

You guys are completely different

[hardy mirage]

what do you define as "cowboy culture"

[sour reef]

Maybe northern Florida

Not south or central though

[stable wren]

Northern Florida is not at all Southern

North Florida is like fucking New york but hot

Miserable and expensive

[hardy mirage]

florida is its own thing honestly

[sour reef]

That means nothing in this conversation

South ≠ poor and cheap

[hardy mirage]

^^^
this is probably the most important question for me to ask

[sour reef]

Northern Florida is similar to the states around it, but honestly i wouldn’t even bat an eye if someone described florida as Latin

[stable wren]

Cowboy culture definition can vary

That's like the thing

[hardy mirage]

so you're overgeneralizing an overgeneralization

[sour reef]

Do you mean like redneck culture? Cowboy culture is very dead

[stable wren]

North Florida is a portion Spanish

[sour reef]

Yeah ik ik but i have been there and it is just Alabama if it was more hot and miserable

[hardy mirage]

honestly what are we even arguing about

[sour reef]

Two things

[hardy mirage]

this is kind of pointless

[stable wren]

North Florida isn't even patriotic, that belongs to Central and south

North Florida is just miserable

Nothing there

Besides two cities

That are small af

And St Augustine is wannabe Spain

[sour reef]

Oh yeah i’ve been there

Refer to hot and miserable

[stable wren]

Have you ever been

To like

Any other part of Florida

[sour reef]

I have been to orlando when i was pretty young

I remember bits and pieces

[stable wren]

Okay, sooo

You don't

Know much

Because Central Is the most southern shit ever

Bayou, Marsh, gators, smells like ocean and burnt ass.

Red necks with that flag [if you know, you know]

Almost everyone has a thick Florida accent here

[sour reef]

Moai is florida southern?

[stable wren]

South Florida is just

The ghetto

And Suburbans

[indigo hare]

I was interested in this and looked it up and apparently it’s been a thing talked about for a long time and most people say northern Florida is “southern” culturally, below it isnt

[stable wren]

I was born in South Florida 🙏

[sour reef]

Hey that is like exactly what i said no way

[stable wren]

I feel like those people

Never go to central

And if they do it's just to Orlando

I should've jumped in this gator infested river yesterday

[indigo hare]

Idk, but there sure is a lot of discussion about it online, i didnt know it was so divided lol

[sour reef]

I mean we can’t listen to everyone though

Some people call Kentucky Midwestern

[stable wren]

I looked at like 3 graphs

And all of them are completely bullshit

[indigo hare]

I just mean more so the fact that theres a lot of links leading to websites and discussions talking about where Florida stops being “southern” culturally, or if it’s truly a southern state at all. I just never thought about it at all, since I mean, it’s in the south lol

[stable wren]

And misrepresentation of the state entirely lmfao

North Florida = farm land 💔 💔

Bro there is like a billion Farms in just the county over from me in central 💔

[indigo hare]

It’s like wondering if NY is a northern state

Not something people think about typically lol

[stable wren]

What do people consider

"Southern"

That's the main question

[sour reef]

Just use a different word to describe it

Like is New York in New England

Which

Yeah

[indigo hare]

To me, anything south of Maryland

West Virginia/virginia is where the south starts

[sour reef]

Like florida is “southern” but it isn’t dixie

[rancid reef]

Cowboy culture is held up by old white men who miss the "old days" (racism)

[stable wren]

Is it because of our accents

[sour reef]

No

[rancid reef]

It's fake cowboy culture held up by boot barn and wispy old men wanting to be racist in public again

[stable wren]

Our accents have Spanish sounding pronunciation

[sour reef]

Missouri has a southern accent but they are 100% midwestern

[stable wren]

I mean

[rancid reef]

Well half of america used to be part of the hispanics before we bought or took it

[stable wren]

Whenever i look it up as to why South and cent Florida isn't considered southern, it's because of the accents

[sour reef]

And also that would put Appalachia as a whole in a weird purgatory state

[rancid reef]

The accents are very wild in florida

Not in like deep florida

[indigo hare]

The Bible Belt, no?

[rancid reef]

Mostly just the cities

[sour reef]

I think the traditional definition is the Mason Dixon line

[stable wren]

Most people who lives in cities are from NY

[rancid reef]

In florida?

Makes sense

They're east coast proud, but hate the cold

South new york

[sour reef]

Oh i totally misunderstood what you meant

[stable wren]

The more south Florida you go the more Florida accent you get

The best way to spot a Florida accent

Is have them say "ten"

[blazing lodge]

That's not the only setting that racists try ro co-opt

[rancid reef]

Tien

[rancid reef]

Well yeah

[stable wren]

A Florida accent would make it sound like Tin

[rancid reef]

There's a lot of racists

[zenith hearth]

So I got this pottery class for first period. I sculpt this bowl, become pretty proud of it. I put it on the shelf for it to be fired so that I can glaze it, and it never gets put in the kiln. For weeks it just lays on the shelf and the teacher never puts it in the kiln. At some point she eventually puts it in, but on like the final week. the last day of class (today) comes, and I receive it broken. I ask what happened and she says that it "just broke" and shrugs it off like it didn't even matter. And now she expects me to glaze it while it's broken and come back a week after school is over to go get it.

I hate pottery class so much.

[rancid reef]

Racism is a large variety

[sour reef]

If you are classifying it by accent, then Appalachians aren’t technically southern because their accent’s origins lie with the Scottish and Irish instead of the English

That is what i meant

[stable wren]

I looked into it further

[rancid reef]

Maybe they thought it wouldn't hold in the kiln unless others looked the same

[stable wren]

South Florida isn't called sourthern because of high immigration? What 😭

What's the real reason?!?!?

😭

[indigo hare]

That lady is a bad teacher

[rancid reef]

It's the union

There's The South, and then there's southern states

[sour reef]

I think southern Florida is just more similar to the Caribbean than the American south

Not because of immigration though

[stable wren]

It's tropical? That's it?

[sour reef]

Not just that

[sour reef]

1/4 of the state speaks Spanish

[sour reef]

(As a primary language)

[rancid reef]

Spanish or puerto rican

Lots of different spanish and hispanic languages

[stable wren]

It's only 20%‐

[sour reef]

I think the Floridian dialect has it’s own name

[stable wren]

That's lower than texas

Texas has 29%

[rancid reef]

Texas used to have a different name so that makes sense for texas

[sour reef]

Yeah and i wouldn’t call Texas southern either

[rancid reef]

It's more southern than florida for sure

[stable wren]

Depends on the Geography map

[sour reef]

Texas is just Texas, they aren’t really similar to anyone else

[stable wren]

Well if go by Spanish speaking

[rancid reef]

Texas is more similar to northern states

[stable wren]

Than that bitch is California

[rancid reef]

Wyoming

[stable wren]

I am sorry but this just sounds stupid

[rancid reef]

I also am not referring to spanish speaking either

Just the everything

[stable wren]

"Your state isn't Southern because it has 20% Spanish speakers."

[sour reef]

It is multiple different things, it’s not just the fact that Florida has a lot of Spanish speakers

[rancid reef]

What we mean i imagine is the union versus confederates when it comes to south south

Mostly

[stable wren]

Florida was part of the CSA-

[rancid reef]

Or maybe not

All three of us are using a different scale

Lmfao

[sour reef]

Eh

Missouri too

And texas

[stable wren]

What is the main argument

That's the big question

[sour reef]

Okay okay

[rancid reef]

Well it moved from culture to what states are southern in culture?

[sour reef]

Where do you draw the line at central Florida

[rancid reef]

Buh

[teal narwhal]

In the center for Florida 🙄

[stable wren]

When you start getting into the MPD

Than that's not Central

[sour reef]

Mb mb mb

[stable wren]

I think central ends above Fort Lauderdale

[rancid reef]

You guys cannot be drawing lines in a tiny state

[sour reef]

Florida is huge what???

[teal narwhal]

Im gonna go to Rhode Island and draw a line on a sheet of paper

[rancid reef]

I'm playin

I'm from texas so

[stable wren]

And to be more realistic

[rancid reef]

I gotta throw in how big my state is

[sour reef]

Ahh

[stable wren]

Central Florida ends at like Fort Pierce

[hardy mirage]

have you seen the size of texas compared to japan, it's genuinely insane

[rancid reef]

WHAAAAAAAAAT

[sour reef]

I would draw the line there

[rancid reef]

Buh

Old spoilers for halo show?!?!?

[frank citrus]

hi bobbles

[violet garden]

South is like… Texas to Georgia, give or take

[sour reef]

Japan is literally the size of the east coast

[rancid reef]

Literally

[sour reef]

Worst opinion so far

[rancid reef]

I will say the normal geographical map doesn't do scale super well for how fat some countries are actually

[teal narwhal]

South is east of Louisiana inclusive and south of the Carolinas inclusive

[hardy mirage]

florida is to the united states as australia is to britain

[sour reef]

Basically

[tepid field]

https://giphy.com/gifs/starwars-star-wars-darth-vader-rogue-one-2w5MMNvg70MrQ0I2DR

[rancid reef]

Wouldn't that be more california

[stable wren]

Florida is basically just Australia

[sour reef]

Nope

[stable wren]

But

[tepid field]

https://tenor.com/view/incoming-john117-master-chief-pablo-schreiber-halo-gif-25609697

[rancid reef]

Cut them out of the country

[stable wren]

Tropical af

We have the 3rd highest animal related human deaths by state iirc

[rancid reef]

That's because you have swamp tho

[teal narwhal]

California is one of the states that has a city 😂

[rancid reef]

Does australia swamp up?

[sour reef]

Talk to me whenever you have over 100 counties

[hardy mirage]

Wyoming

[violet garden]

I can get behind that. I think Texas is borderline, transitionary between West and South. I included it on a whim. Carolinas I didn’t include, also on a whim, since they’re kinda transitionary too. Florida I don’t really consider South because it’s Florida

[rancid reef]

Texas is for sure borderline

[teal narwhal]

There are 6 states that have that

[sour reef]

Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky?

[sour reef]

Yeah

The cool states

[teal narwhal]

No the carolinas are full south imo

[rancid reef]

We have 250

^

Mostly yes

[teal narwhal]

But yeah I can get behind fl not being included

[rancid reef]

Especially since they still spout south gospel

[violet garden]

TN I’ll give. Virginia maybe. Kentucky is closer to Midwest than South

[sour reef]

Fuck no

[rancid reef]

I always thought texas was the australia of america

Florida is too wet

[teal narwhal]

Virgina doesnt exist and Kentucky is not south at all

[stable wren]

Australia has very few animal deaths

[rancid reef]

Texas is dryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and humid

[teal narwhal]

Even if virgina existed it wouldn't be south

[sour reef]

Being so polite but the midwesterners are way too

Mm

[violet garden]

REAL SHIIIT

[rancid reef]

Well because they're not idiots like we are

[stable wren]

Not rly

[rancid reef]

They know kangaroos will fuck them up

[stable wren]

Most deadly animals in Australia

[sour reef]

Uptight

[stable wren]

Live in the middle of fucking nowhere

[rancid reef]

So true

[stable wren]

Most humans in Australia, don't live there

[sour reef]

Like there are parts i would call midwestern

[stable wren]

So to die by an animal in Australia

[rancid reef]

Australia is mostly just tiny spots around a big desert

[sour reef]

(Louisville)

[untold wraith]

Coral reef

[stable wren]

You have to actively go to them

[rancid reef]

Buh?

[teal narwhal]

I'd lowky consider Louisville north

And not midwestern

[untold wraith]

Hello ford

[rancid reef]

Me too

[stable wren]

For the record

Most texas deaths from animals

Is via fucking pet dogs

[violet garden]

Yeah I think Louisville alone offsets KY to being Midwestern. Some of the other parts may seem more Southern, but Louisville is simply too potent a force

[rancid reef]

Yeah i was gonna say wild dogs

[teal narwhal]

Most Texas deaths are from deaths in texas

[rancid reef]

But they are wild if they kill you anyway

[sour reef]

What are you calling north? The midwest starts at ohio

[untold wraith]

Most Texas deaths are one too many sweet teas

[rancid reef]

Midwest starts at texas

[rancid reef]

Not south texas

Like pan handle and wing

[sour reef]

Census bureau disagrees

[teal narwhal]

Since when has anyone ever trusted a bureau

They are invalid

[rancid reef]

Real

Any form of governing is wrong

[violet garden]

This thesis is supported by the fact that Kentucky is on the “coke/pop” border, showing the transition between South and Midwest

[rancid reef]

Or census taking

[stable wren]

Geography is always argued

[teal narwhal]

So does this mean the Georgia is the center if the south?

Cuz coke is hq there

[tepid field]

You should all be talking about the greatest empire to exist. Britain

[teal narwhal]

He made a statement so trash even his own gang clowned him

[sour reef]

What standards

[rancid reef]

Well it also technically changes with culture all the time how we feel about it. I think a lot of people like i have felt the way the union and confeds had their line it's the way some people feel regardless of modernity

[stable wren]

Britain: "AUSTRALIA! HEEEELP! HEEEEELP MEEE!!!!!!"

[rancid reef]

Who are you

[tepid field]

https://tenor.com/view/ugh-annoyed-eye-roll-eyeroll-whatever-gif-12583888296439898899

[violet garden]

The coke/pop/soda statistic doesn’t lie I’m afraid

[violet garden]

Shut the FUCK up Jessy Causey.

[rancid reef]

Britain after they send all their prisoners to an island and come back to find a thriving country

[stable wren]

Australia is like Mahoraga to Britain

[tepid field]

or what

[rancid reef]

Or we'll prove you wrong

Mongolia

We win

[violet garden]

I’ll start getting patriotic

[rancid reef]

Lol

[sour reef]

In most aspects the US and USSR surpassed Britain at their height

[teal narwhal]

I find this intresting cuz i used to live in a soda zone but my dialect has changed to coke

I havent even realized it until just now

[rancid reef]

How do you feel about the conquering and such aspects though if we really want to talk about empire and reigning. Not pure power, but maybe the power at the time

[violet garden]

At least we can agree to never trust people who call it pop

[sour reef]

Mongolia is overhyped

[violet garden]

Psychos, the lot of em

[stable wren]

Britain: Chat we are so cracked!

Also Britain: Loses just about every war by themselves, and always needs foreign assistance, tried to 1v1 France, almost lost till Prussia came in and saved Britain army during Waterloo

[teal narwhal]

What you know about the ppl who call water fountains bubblers

[rancid reef]

Yeah i said it kinda jokingly

Most of their forces got wiped out during a storm

Lolololololololololol

[severe fulcrum]

They were talking about the other cracked obv

[sour reef]

Well by that argument most countries suck

[rancid reef]

They do

[violet garden]

Fuuuck I forgot about them, they’re not ok

[stable wren]

They do.

[rancid reef]

They do

We can't forget the sucky humans who caused the sucky empires tho

[teal narwhal]

Yeah I dont trust the people at the start of the new England shootoff geographically wise

[stable wren]

Also this isn't a discussion about how britain sucks

[rancid reef]

We made them rise and fall with our smart and stupidity

[stable wren]

It's about how their empire is fraudulent

[sour reef]

Eh

[rancid reef]

It's for sure built on a lot of other countries

[sour reef]

The British were a force

[rancid reef]

It's like the vultrumites

They have all their slaves making shit for them

[sour reef]

Empires shifted how they operate, they still exist

[stable wren]

Britain was a Navy master, and their tactics on land were decent, but it wasn't good to last

[sour reef]

France still has a complete monopoly on west Africa

[stable wren]

I love France!!!!

[teal narwhal]

Ban this man

CYBERPUNK MENTIONED!!!!!!!!

[sour reef]

Reagan is the root of all evil but not that evil

[rancid reef]

More than reagan for sure

Most presidents

[violet garden]

Not the US still. We won a war against ourselves by ourselves. Undefeated 🦅 🇺🇸 🦅

[rancid reef]

We build our technology and knock down our rights

[teal narwhal]

We beat britan twice too so we goated

[sour reef]

More American boys died in that war than any other we participated in

[violet garden]

FUCK THEM REDCOATS

[sour reef]

We did not win 1812

[stable wren]

Britain watching the CSA fucking lose:

[rancid reef]

Britain just got too big and became too closely technologically minded with us and what they gave us

[stable wren]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-gif-24341837

[rancid reef]

We used their own devices against them like a boss

[sour reef]

fucking lobster-backs 🙄

[rancid reef]

And ended up becoming evil too

[violet garden]

The only ones that can kill us are more of us

[stable wren]

They would get bullied a lot

[sour reef]

The viet cong would like to have a word

[violet garden]

That didn’t happen idek what you’re talking about shut up

[sour reef]

Mb you right

[rancid reef]

What about the korean war

And the middle east

[quartz forum]

When is Full-sword coming out?

[violet garden]

The what war? Stop talking nonsense

[rancid reef]

Full axe

[sour reef]

Basically us victory because look at how shit North Korea is

[tired tulip]

the indo-china war

[stable wren]

That's still ongoing technically

[violet garden]

That was an extended military operational scenario NOT a war

[teal narwhal]

Eh it was a peace treaty so we won

[stable wren]

It's just on hold

[rancid reef]

Yeah, but we still kinda lost even if we did put south korea back on the map

[stable wren]

Not rly

[sour reef]

You can literally see the border on a satellite

Like

[stable wren]

Idk how we lost that

We almost lost it

[rancid reef]

They did push us back quite a bit at one point

Very close

[stable wren]

But that isn't a lose

[stable wren]

We literally kicked their ass all the way to the line

[rancid reef]

No it was a war against the middle east and their fake communist ideals

[stable wren]

That's insane

[rancid reef]

A forever war as one would say

[rancid reef]

They were like that the entire time

[sour reef]

Should’ve listened to MacArthur

[teal narwhal]

we did lowky whoop them so hard that china had to step in

[frank citrus]

what

[stable wren]

I want people to know, the gulf war ≠ war on terrorism.

The us, France, Britain are still actively fighting in wars around Africa and the ocean

[frank citrus]

bro the night sky in north korea would be worth dying for

[sour reef]

You can see the border on a map

[sour reef]

I hope you like eating grasshoppers

[frank citrus]

its worth dying for

and id rather eat grasshoppers than die

so yea

im not even joking i think it would be fine living in north korea just cuz of the night sky

i can get oppressed all i want ill still have the milky way to comfort me

[sour reef]

Literally go anywhere in rural America

[sharp geode]

in north korea people die of hunger and are forced to work in extremely harsh conditions

[sour reef]

Or rural anywhere

[violet garden]

We haven’t FORMALLY declared war since, what, WWII? Not war, technically.

ggez

[sour reef]

Correct

[frank citrus]

im planning to visit one of those places amateur astronomers go that doesnt have any light pollution

[sour reef]

That is because after ww2 declaring war would imply that we have to follow the rules

[frank citrus]

ideally if i was rich id live in a place with no light pollution

[stable wren]

Again, the us has been in war alongside Britain and France in Africa since 2012-present

[sour reef]

That is very generous of a definition

[stable wren]

It's hella ironic

[frank citrus]

i think its overexaggerated

[sour reef]

American involvement is limited and the french have mostly withdrawn

[rancid reef]

I mean yeah. But we did start war with communism and its beliefs!!!!!!

[stable wren]

"Mostly" not entirely

[sharp geode]

you probably didnt see the video of the girl who was found there and died in a field 2 days later

[violet garden]

Never declared it

[stable wren]

Usually it's special forces groups there

[frank citrus]

ur right

[sour reef]

Also… yk… French imperialism vs Islamic imperialism

[frank citrus]

but i dont think people die of hunger

[sour reef]

Same same

[frank citrus]

i do believe theyre overworked

[frank citrus]

what are you implying bobbles

[stable wren]

Yes and No

[sharp geode]

in any part of north korea other than popular cities

they probably do

[sour reef]

That Isis is imperialist?

[stable wren]

Ima get out of here, because if a mod sees us we are all getting cooked

[sour reef]

Probably

At least i can go out with a smile
