[viral star]

And Florida construction standards for hurricane rated house construction is no joke.... but what can you do when the entire world around you is just completely helpless to nature. I cant understand living there. I would have a tough time for 6 months of the year not really sure every few weeks if this is the one.

But yeah as you say, everywhere is feeling it

[hardy kindle]

Yeah the past few years were really rough on some parts of the world

[viral star]

It's just tragic to see the world suffer. We got infrastructure to respond, a lot of the world doesnt. Terrible things...

[hardy kindle]

I think we're drifting off here again

[subtle prawn]

Or mountains coming down

[viral star]

Not sure it was pinned down was it?

Ok so to keep the vein but change the mood direction: I give it to Japan for flood control. Thier "cathedral" is amazing.

[remote sun]

Mountains are coming down because someone forgot to slap it while saying that aint going anywhere

rookie move

[hardy kindle]

oh you mean the underground system in Tokyo was it?

[viral star]

yeah

[hardy kindle]

yeah I've seen a video, so insane

[viral star]

biggest water diversion project in the world

[hardy kindle]

also a bit scary how vast it is

[viral star]

yeah seriously. Think the video I saw last week they saw the statue of liberty can fit inside each of the 3 main columns that take the water IN, not the holding chambers

And it doesnt just pour in, oh no, its specifically designed so all incoming water is in a funnel motion, swirling down the massive round intake to prevent erosion

a dozen pumps that can move a olympic pool every second, something like that. Just amazing yeah

[hardy kindle]

yes, you can talk about in #spoilers-ahead !

[viral star]

If it didnt mean your life was in extreme danger, that would be such a sight to see the water coming into that place

[hardy kindle]

yeah I think I'll pass on that haha

Even that they offer tours is insane

[viral star]

it might be worth sacrificing a gopro though

[gentle ravine]

sorry

[hardy kindle]

I mean there is footage of it

[hardy kindle]

no worries

[viral star]

Yeah, Ive seen a few videos, but never of it in intended purpose

Thats like splunking into a caldera to get a temperate reading. Yeah... no

gonna go offroad for a moment, that sentence reminded me of a Disney + show with Will Smith, he had a blind friend and they went into a caldera aparently known for ultrasonics. Hearing that guy describe his experience (because he could hear more than most ppl) was really cool, despite chunks of lava landing around.

So circling point I guess being, risk sometimes has its rewards

[hardy kindle]

why.. why would people do that

[viral star]

well, they were joined up with a meteorologist that was replacing a sensor or whatnot. But I cant remember the premise of the show... He was going around the world experiencing extremes or something.

[hardy kindle]

I mean it's fictional I'm assuming

[viral star]

No, for real. Lord only knows why him and why they funded it, but he went to real places to experience real things

May have been an episode of same show where they "heard the sound of the mountain", that was cool too. So deep in a high altitude cave that they literally could pick up on meters the sound of the mountain physically moving.

[hardy kindle]

uh I had a class at university where we would listen to the sound of mountains and glaciers moving, some artist has made tracks of it

It was really cool

[viral star]

because it was just so unnaturally quiet, no foreign noise at all. Huge deep caverns, resonated the shift in rock, even the tiniest amount, made a sound

ah yeah ok so I dont have to sell you on the idea cuz it sounds like nonsense lol

[hardy kindle]

yeah it sounds unbelievable if you haven't heard it yourself I'd say haha

[viral star]

Welcome To Earth it was called "In the six-part series, Smith travels to 34 countries on all seven continents to explore the planet's wonders and hidden secrets. Smith is guided by expert explorers and gets up close to some of the world's most thrilling spectacles, including:"

yeah I'd be down

[hardy kindle]

wild

[viral star]

ive done some recklessness in my youth going way too far in places with room for few mistakes just out of curiousity

I drew the line belly crawling through guano however

and I'm a smoker, so way I saw it, if the smoke was traveling somewhere, we had fresh air

but probably a good quarter mile into a random cave we found, lol. Stupid

Family wouldve found the car, and thats it.

[hardy kindle]

yeah don't do that lol

[viral star]

Eh I was a teenager and y'know, ladies were present.

[hardy kindle]

I probably had low key volcanic gas poisoning in Japan but that's about it

[hardy kindle]

Ah yes

[viral star]

Yeah, see I grew up in Arizona and you always were told about mineshafts, do not do not do not, not because of cave ins, or mountain lions, or flash flooding. But gas.

Hence my cigarette statement, I wouldnt have if I thought it had no air

but that was the limit of my intelligence

[hardy kindle]

makes sense

with the gas, not that you went anyway lol

[mystic aurora]

You get a lot of bad air in mines, we call it "damp" here or firedamp if it's methane. Not so much in most natural caves, they tend to breathe a lot better and most of the volatiles have leached out over the millenia

[viral star]

I've always been too clever for my own good. And overly confident.

I consider adulthood 50% luck 😄

Surviving till now, I mean

[hardy kindle]

but like, can you guys just walk into mines?

It reminds me of the Until Dawn remake haha

I was like: how the heck is this not secured

For the plot okay but still

[mystic aurora]

Depends on the mine here, active mines usually have security and totally closed mines are usually sealed. But some very old mines or new ones that are just temporarily shutdown you can sometimes walk in. We get a few people die or get lost in them every year trying to steal copper.

[viral star]

Well and my thinking was, this was a natural structure that went on for way farther than I was willing to venture, so it was on some form of fault, or ancient rock (body?) separation zone. So it made sense it would have a perpentsity to have many unseen exits and whatnot allowing flowing ventilation. Plus, evidence of guano is a pretty good sign mammals can survive

But definately threw safety out the window when it came to all the other possible outcomes from being in such a place without any equipment - or backup

I did have a water bottle at least. But it was Arizona, everyones got a water bottle

[mystic aurora]

Biggest danger of spelunking here is drowning. Be down in the cave, get a big thunderstorm, get trapped in an area by water and you can't get out and ☠️

[viral star]

Yeah I saw that movie they made about that group of teenagers stuck for... 10 days? Flash flooding. No bueno

But this was on the top of a mountain, not that that means your safer per say, but it wasnt gonna be the first place if I was water

saying that the entrance was off the side of the mountain road ditch, lol

just insert foot here I guess

dont think it was monsoon season though (when the desert actually gets rain)

idk, I conceded it was a stupid idea lol

[vapid canopy]

Hello!

[brittle iron]

Hello

[viral star]

Whelp, yall survived me. Work summons. Thanks for putting up with me. Have a great day.

[hardy kindle]

You too!

[quasi saffron]

Hello?

[signal ocean]

what now

[quasi saffron]

So... What will the blue gift to us today.

[subtle prawn]

The bingo card?

[tame seal]

Is their presence not enough of a gift?

[quasi saffron]

Am I allowed to make a field with "coins? " at the bingo card?

That was a short visit from CUB

[tame seal]

He comes and he goes.

[gentle forum]

He told us in mod channels it smells like broke in here.

Non coin having individuals

@signal ocean

close your eyes

[quasi saffron]

Before before

[gentle forum]

leave the AI alone it can't read

Drew that faster than I ever could lol

[quasi saffron]

So you stole it.

[signal ocean]

well u did it now

[gentle forum]

I SAID CLOSE YOUR EYES

🪙 ❔

Maybe thats better.

I think I scared him now. Means another month waiting.

[gentle forum]

I'd be afraid of you too

[quasi saffron]

Tbh I am a really dreadful person

I should rebrand

[gentle forum]

New pfp new name

let's workshop

[quasi saffron]

The pfp might need time until I am at home.

I wonder if it did change my name now

[brittle iron]

It bothers me that "sword" and "words" in your profile poem don't really rhyme

You should start there

[quasi saffron]

I tried it. Really hard.

I cannot get that s to leave the words

[brittle iron]

Even sword and word is kind of a dirty rhyme i feel, but it would be acceptable

[quasi saffron]

But if that bothers you it did good.
It'll haunt you for this month

[brittle iron]

Indeed

[quasi saffron]

You can choose a better rhyme if you come up with one.

[quiet geyser]

thats a cute about me 😃

I like it

[brittle iron]

Cute without the e like that taking back sunday song

[gentle forum]

Rebrand yourself as a Gerbil.

Lord Furrybuns

[safe swan]

It's nice poem though.

[quasi saffron]

More like furryboom.

[gentle forum]

Ok we got the name down

Furryboom the Gerbil of Doom

[quasi saffron]

What is a Gerbil

[quiet geyser]

haha

[tame seal]

Furrybloom.

[brittle iron]

That rhymes nicely

[gentle forum]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-cute-rat-wave-gif-15443080

[quiet geyser]

"the Gerbil of Doom"

priceless

[brittle iron]

I know them from that one eminem song

Kinda messed me up as a child

[gentle forum]

They're small rodents from Mongolia

[quiet geyser]

he had a song about gerbils?

[gentle forum]

Similar to Hamsters

[brittle iron]

It's pretty nsfw so i wont go into more detail

[quiet geyser]

I think south park messed me up with gerbils

[quasi saffron]

Hey it updated me to be dreadful

Spidersniper the troubler

I heard that CUB joined in secret Team Rocket.
Because those guys also take stuff from the gardens of others.

[quasi saffron]

Hey. Did I allow you to do that

[gentle forum]

Yes

[quasi saffron]

Okay

[quasi saffron]

Anyway. I am now about to drive home.
If CUB answers now anything he just avoids me.

[spice talon]

🍻

[warm flume]

Another morning almost done and still no enshrouded update

[quasi saffron]

Will take awhile. But it's more than ever I guess

[placid fractal]

new to enshrouded and im loving it

[signal ocean]

I was doing the work thing

[signal ocean]

me talking to the producers

[gentle forum]

I heard from a very credible source that CUB and the other devs have the 1.0 version of Enshrouded.

They just don't want to share it with us.

[tame seal]

I heard the same from a credible source that heard from a credible source.

[quasi saffron]

I heard a credible source is edible

[stiff granite]

Maybe they've actually had 1.0 finished for months now, but kept it unreleased while they prepare to give talks at GPC 2024. 👀

[tame seal]

Definitely, definitely.

[signal ocean]

I am actually swimming in my water pool in the game right now, off of my river barrage

later I'll take a dip in my coins pool

[gentle forum]

Which mount did you decide to tame?

[strange barn]

hey there !

[tame seal]

All of them of course, i'm sure he has a stable going.

[signal ocean]

went with the classics and tamed myself a Shroud Bandersnatch

[gentle forum]

Oh those are a rare spawn and quite difficult to tame and saddle!

[strange barn]

yup, well done Cub !

what a tamer you are

[signal ocean]

that's what they call me

that's my nick

[strange barn]

it suits you well

I guess

[signal ocean]

in France they keep saying "CUB? nick tamer"

[strange barn]

omg

[signal ocean]

it means they love me

[strange barn]

you got me

xD

[tame seal]

CoolTamerBro.

[strange barn]

yeah, that's kind of a love word now

ahah

[signal ocean]

sorry everyone else this was a very French-centric layered pun

normal shenanigans can resume

[strange barn]

well, if I can say it politely, nick tamer, even if it's not wrote correctly is kind of asking somemone to do weird cuddles to his mother you know

for those who were curious

[quasi saffron]

You love to torment me.

[strange barn]

I'm so tired from this week end.
Building a village is something, big respect to all my mason !!!

[quasi saffron]

Who's mason.
My nick is Jazon Mazer

[strange barn]

Isnt it the word for the builder work ?

the ones who used to build real houses I mean

not cardboards houses

[quasi saffron]

I mean, we build houses. It has walls on 4 sides

and if we feel like it, it has even a ceiling

[pliant quarry]

How goes everyone's Tuesday 👀

[tame seal]

Just about to order pizza so wonderfully!

[quasi saffron]

My wallet is empty

[tame seal]

How's your Tuesday, Toast?

[pliant quarry]

Good so far, it's very cold so I am in pajamas

[quasi saffron]

There are Toast sized pajamas

[tame seal]

The working from home life 😄

[strange barn]

on my way to work, from my house, sunny day, so perfectly good !

thanks for asking, hope you're well !

[strange barn]

yep, two years working from home? never been that productive

and it's chiiiiiiiiiiiiill

[tame seal]

Ups and downs depending on the individual ^^

[tall idol]

sips coffee Shhhh... the braincells aren't firing yet.

[safe swan]

Feeling little under the weather, although throat is better now.

[strange barn]

of course

I'm not a ''truth'' x)

[strange barn]

it means that you're not feeling all good ? never heard that expression

[signal ocean]

what's gonna be on that pizza

[tame seal]

Call me boring but it's just a good ol' ham pizza.

[tall idol]

Pineapple!

[safe swan]

Throat is better than yesterday, but now i'm feeling like fever is coming.

[signal ocean]

I mean sometimes it's what you need

[strange barn]

well, wish you to be better tomorrow mate !

[strange barn]

how could you be boring ? you meant PIZZA

[tame seal]

Everyone wants fancy toping on their pizzas, i just dont eat most of them so a simple ham is all that's needed for me!

[strange barn]

my favorite is ham and blue cheese with some fresh tomatoes on it. I'm a simple pizza guy too

lots of onions makes it better tho

[tall idol]

Blue cheese on pizza?

[tame seal]

See, those other 3 ingredients you can keep to yourself 😄

[strange barn]

yep, sounds weird at first, but dang it's good

[strange barn]

I wont complain

xD

[tall idol]

It's not one I've ever even considered, to be perfectly honest. I do enjoy tomatoes though.

[strange barn]

better when they come from my garden

[lament monolith]

pineapple

[strange barn]

not liking pineapples on pizza is just because internet told us not to

[tall idol]

Fresh pineapple when it gets that baked, charred thing going on.. drools

[lament monolith]

YES

[strange barn]

Idk how you call that place in english but I had a neighboor that came from the Réunion Island and he made Porc with GRilled pinapple

omg it was good

[tame seal]

I'm all for flavours, my problem with food is textures.

[strange barn]

I got you

Raisin taste good, but the texture

yuk

[stiff granite]

...so no crunchy pickes on your pizza?

[signal ocean]

I love Italian pizza and all, but I miss my dirty US pizza with the greasy pepperoni

[strange barn]

Had a Canadian pizza when I was in Vancouver.
American pizzas are something else indeed

[tame seal]

Our local italian must have had a different chef for a couple of weeks because the pizza we got in that time were greasy as hell.

[signal ocean]

@hardy kindle has very strong opinions about Italian food so better watch out

[tame seal]

In the positive or negative direction? 😄

[hardy kindle]

I've been summoned

[strange barn]

hi Froggy !

[hardy kindle]

I would say I'm pretty tolerant, just don't make me eat it

[tame seal]

Ah, so the negative 😄

[brittle iron]

What even qualifies as italian food except for pasta and pizza

[signal ocean]

I told her about French carbonara recipes and she was appalled

[hardy kindle]

oh boy

[brittle iron]

Risotto i guess?

[signal ocean]

PUT THAT GUN DOWN FROG

[brittle iron]

I surrender

[hardy kindle]

I said it's probably a nice sauce, just don't call it a carbonara and we're good

https://tenor.com/view/chrono-trigger-anime-frog-sword-katana-gif-18666565

[signal ocean]

we also call it poor people carbonara

[tame seal]

Uh oh she's going to defend this hill.

[hardy kindle]

how is the sour cream cheaper than using just eggs tho?

[brittle iron]

The "poor people carbonara" isn't bad honestly but normal one with just eggs tastes better

[signal ocean]

it's France we've got too much milk

[strange barn]

That's why we make that much cheese

we even let worms build their house in it sometimes

[brittle iron]

Images of that sardinian cheese (or whatever) have been haunting me since childhood

Corsican?

Idk

[hardy kindle]

this has been forbidden in the EU

There is an Italian cheese which is now illegal because of it

and you only get it when you know someone who knows someone

[strange barn]

Italians...

[brittle iron]

Casu Marzu

[strange barn]

yeah, like some absinthe

[strange barn]

yeah, I was looking for the name

thanks !

[hardy kindle]

oh yeah it is this one

idk if I could get myself to try it

[strange barn]

I would not

[brittle iron]

Hellnah

I don't mind spiders and bugs and stuff but worms and maggots can go very very far away

[tall idol]

Maggots have some extremely cool medical uses though.

[strange barn]

Already had the opportunity to try some living cheese.
(Well they are all living cheese at the end, so i'd say, moving cheese)

AND even tho I like strong stuff, well

no

[tall idol]

Moving cheese?

[brittle iron]

Cheese with inhabitants

[strange barn]

well, cheese with stuff that mooves in it

[tall idol]

🤢

[strange barn]

they can even walk I'm sure

no seriously that's disgusting xD

[brittle iron]

Worse

they can jump

It's considered particularly good cheese if they do

[tame seal]

Might as well eat Gagh then.

[tall idol]

The worms that Klingons eat?

[tame seal]

Yup 😄

[brittle iron]

Might as well start praying to nurgle

[strange barn]

I'd stick with my tomatoes

[tall idol]

I kind of want my food good and dead.

[strange barn]

dont look it with a microscope then

[tall idol]

Those are mostly okay.

[strange barn]

Well, it was a pleasure to talk with y'all but got to work ! have a great day/night !

[hardy kindle]

you too!

[brittle iron]

You too risbo

[safe swan]

take care, Risbo!

[quasi saffron]

I love my hobbit hole I'm working on lol, I'm 9 hours into shrouded and my first thought was "hobbit hole"

[tall idol]

Those are cozy.

[quiet geyser]

2hands

wow took some time

but hurayy

[strange barn]

you cant tease when I just get to work

that's mean

[pure wyvern]

why are the theasers in this garbage format? the game is in proper ration the videos recorded ingame should be the same, why the stupid crop?

[subtle prawn]

Because social media prefers this format

[pliant quarry]

Cause that's what tiktoks and youtube shorts is, we'll have a proper teaser trailer around the time of the actual update

these are just little mini ones

[subtle prawn]

So in 2 months

[pliant quarry]

wot

we didn't say it was in 2 months

[pure wyvern]

but social media is crap, just put the normal video on and have this cropped stuff for the people that do not have a proper screen

[quiet geyser]

you just got jabaited

prolly will be on end of month

🙂

[subtle prawn]

There is no official date tho ^^

[quiet geyser]

or on start of upcoming month

[tame seal]

4-6 weeks.

[pliant quarry]

I mean I didn't say it was or wasn't I just don't want people saying it's gonna be at a certain date when that date was pulled out of thin air lol

[strange barn]

Wich way is yours ?

[pliant quarry]

You and blackeagle have strangly similar profile pictures lol

[strange barn]

Idk who's black eagle but I like his tastes

[tame seal]

They enjoy the same horror.

[strange barn]

I like to draw creepy stuff yeah

but that one is cute

aint it ?

[pure wyvern]

that's why you upload both the good quality uncropped video and the social media crap for those unable to use the proper format, but removing 90% of the screen because some people are unable to rotate a phone 90 degrees is kinda stupid

[tall idol]

Not kinda, it’s just stupid.

[pure wyvern]

tried to be nice^^

[strange barn]

okay I saw the picture..

xD

[pliant quarry]

Malzian wtf is that

[tall idol]

He’s so cute!

[noble anchor]

That's Lucy.

[noble anchor]

She.

[tall idol]

She?

[pure wyvern]

maybe same taste in music

[tall idol]

She’s cute! Does she come in plush form?

[noble anchor]

Lucy Lacemaker. And yes, you can find plushies of her.

[strange barn]

idk, I'm strangly listening Tool right now

the next one is I dont drugs I just Sweat a lot

[pure wyvern]

the avatar seems a lot like the "disturbed" face

[strange barn]

oh yeah well seen

[noble anchor]

She's the product of a single author/3D animator named Fennah: https://youtube.com/@s.fennah

[tall idol]

Ooo.

[brittle iron]

..Furry horror?

[strange barn]

looks like Hazbin hotel in HD

[strange barn]

well some stuffs seems like it at first but I really dont think so

characters are just a bit provocative

talking about Fennah stuff

[noble anchor]

Yeah. Fennah's characters are provocative... And bizarre... And there's a lot of cursing and weird British humor.

[strange barn]

the short films looks great

I'm looking throught some stuff and acting is pretty good

the animations as well

[noble anchor]

Satellite City is what got me into watching his stuff.

[tall idol]

I’ll watch it when I’m not sitting in the doctors waiting room. 😋

[noble anchor]

Lucy is my Favorite.

She's so sassy.

[tame seal]

Added to the list of things to watch.

[strange barn]

thanks for sharing, I think I will like it.
Reminds me a bit of old Tim Burton and Del Toro

[noble anchor]

oh okay, they are not animated models, they are just regular Australian animals....

Damn teasing toast!

[pulsar sky]

any word on when this may go full release? looks really good but on principle I don't buy EA games any more 😦

[subtle prawn]

Planned 2025

So you most likely need to wait a year

[pulsar sky]

sounds like a plan 🙂 man 2025 gonna be big -- Dune Awakening releasing too, i'll be busy!

[noble anchor]

Note: Late 2025.

I honestly think the 1 year EA target was overly ambitious.

[pliant quarry]

It's more that our scope has grown a lot because of how successful the initial EA launch was, we really didn't expect to have so many sales so early, so it gave us a lot more room to think about what we wanted before 1.0.

But yeah, it was still probably pushing it a bit lol. Dev timelines are really hard to predict that far out, especially being our first self-published game and not having much to compare it to.

[dim rivet]

Hi Guys,

Do you know any server to refill in item / mat ? I lost my character while trying to transfer the hosting from my friend's computer to mine (Basically I Cloned my friend character and deleted mine) and I just want to regain my items (like 1 staff some poor armor and 3 wands). Can you guys guide me please ? Thank you !

[misty juniper]

Yo, do you guys think that in the future we can defend our bases from hostile mobs in the future? Would be cool to defend your castle like that.

[half fossil]

Any ETA ?

[formal furnace]

guys im getting teased

don't like the wolf's head but the chest armor looks cool

nothing about the model btw, i just don't like pelt helmetsa

Might just do it for fun anyways tbh

I wanna figure out how to make a Screaming Bell

[past badge]

There is a resource world that has everything. It’s usually the first one (or one of the first ones) that shows up for me when choosing the join option. If not for you then you should be able to search resource world and find it.

[dim rivet]

Thank you !

[past badge]

You’re welcome. I believe all of the weapons are fully maxed out so you may not get the exact stats you had but you can at least find the item(s) you had.

[worthy cave]

#the-tavern message

[stuck zodiac]

Why tease something we already saw in the last teaser? 🤔

[small pendant]

It's a teaser for the new gear. They hadn't released that set before had they...

[tame seal]

It was a set worn in one of the previous teasers, but it wasn't on showcase in that teaser.

[quasi saffron]

Are you guys sure?
Because I am not.

[tame seal]

From #socials-feed message

Looks pretty similar to me.

[small pendant]

Oh, well, yeah, I went and watched the flame thrower short, but it didn't give you the full view of it

Now they're giving you the full look at one of the new armors

[tame seal]

Yea that's what i mean, we'd seen the set before, but not as a showcase.

[strange barn]

Complaining just for the sake of complaining...

The real problem is that we cant see the pants perfectly....

[small pendant]

Pause and zoom in 😜

[quasi saffron]

Risbo be like "Nice stuff. Can I see your pants?"

Damn, I’ll be here next year and ask the same questions

It was good fun though

[quasi saffron]

Better take a seat. Right here. Right now.

[strange barn]

wow, that works 😮

[strange barn]

The fact is that I never had any trousers in my life...

[quasi saffron]

Did you thought he'd lie to you

[strange barn]

no, but I thought complaining was the key

[carmine scroll]

i hope the update doesnt come out until March.

[strange barn]

cant play untill march ?

[carmine scroll]

no, i could play right now if I wanted.

[strange barn]

March seems way too far condisdering they started to tease two weeks ago

but as we oftenly says with Van, better wait and have something polished !

[quasi saffron]

Wait for the polish or I'll polish you.

[carmine scroll]

😍

[strange barn]

that's a pretty good punchline

[carmine scroll]

I normally polish myself but I wont stop you.

[carmine scroll]

bow chicka wow wow

[quasi saffron]

I have one especially for you made from woodchip wallpaper.
And I love to inflict pain with it.

[strange barn]

''to inflict pain'' sounds weird in the context now

[quasi saffron]

Tbh my desk inflicted more pain to me than I could.
Chewing on it ain't the best idea after a hard day of work

[small pendant]

Okay, new topic, or I'll make you all walk on Legos

[quasi saffron]

I do since 2000, you cannot hurt me with legos anymore.

I've seen them, eaten them, chewed and understood the logics of it.
I can build you even legos in Enshrouded.

[small pendant]

Of course, cause voxels can definitely make lego like pieces

[carmine scroll]

THE HORROR

[quasi saffron]

Walking bare feet on ice would still kill me 100% more effectively.

[strange barn]

cats will take over the world using legos

that's my theory

[small pendant]

My cats didn't need legos to take over the house.

[quasi saffron]

You're weak.

[strange barn]

cats dont fear strong people. They're fast.

they're all like spider-man in a room full of Jonah Jameson

When does update 4 come out

[strange barn]

before 2025

[quiet geyser]

No specific date?

[woeful light]

everytime someone asks it gets pushed back a week

[strange barn]

nope not yet

#the-tavern message

[strange barn]

it's been a year since the announcement ...

[woeful light]

53 people have asked

[strange barn]

only 53 ?

feels like you're easing the number my friend

[quiet geyser]

Oh is that right? Well I’m a returning player after taking a break from it since it released. But… any idea when the release date is? Might as well double my chances of getting solid info. But thanks

[small pendant]

I already responded with the only answer anyone can get, see the link.

If you haven't played since the release, there was the Halls update, adds dungeons and a new zone already.

[strange barn]

as said, It will be between the 18th of october (end of the halloween contest) and thanksgiving (if nothing has changed since The community manager who said that mentioned it.)

this is the only solid info you'll get from now

and if you want to reach some valuable infos here, looks for messages from the blue names

[small pendant]

I keep the latest info on the date pinned at the top of chat

[strange barn]

they're are 100% legit on that. Community manager

[strange barn]

oh yeah, the ''tavern'' mention was for this, my bad

[small pendant]

It's vague but at least it says hopefully this year

[strange barn]

28 november for thanksgiving ? cant remember

[quiet geyser]

I appreciate the info. I was referring to @woeful light since his response kinda seemed a little childish. No offense to you or @strange barn. I was giving ole dude here a hard time.

Or “their response” I should say.

[strange barn]

sorry for him, it's a joke we oftenly make. We're pretty much every day on that discord so we got that question a lot of time.
I'm sure he doesn't mean to trigger you

[small pendant]

We get asked about 20 times a day, we give an answer about adding whenever asked because it relieves the repeating of info so many times, but we try to link the actual answer that we have after that

[quiet geyser]

Oh no you’re good. I’m not easily triggered. I found humor in it so I decided to respond back with my own remark to it. Just for fun

[small pendant]

And the one week was nicer than our usual answer. We say that it's three weeks and now 2065 or some made up date, and that water is now a feature added in 3250 O.O

[quiet geyser]

Ohhhh wouldn’t that be nice. I just saw the new armor it had and was like yeap, goin for that when it arrives

[strange barn]

Moderator are the worst kind of human being....

(joking)

[woeful light]

usually those that seek power over others, shouldn't have it

[small pendant]

Rude

I just liked the game and offered to help, like with most of the mods here.

[woeful light]

nothing personal ❤️

[strange barn]

I mean, I don't know, I dont feel like I want power

[gentle forum]

I typed on the wiki a lot

[strange barn]

I was really joking. You mods here are pretty cool tbh, and yes, I heard that your are really implied in the game process in some ways

and thanks for that

[strange barn]

seems like you tell it like a joke, but the wiki really helps !

[small pendant]

I've been haunting the discord since Alpha. They were like, she's been here so long, what the heck.

[strange barn]

alpha has begun when ?

I'm really talking about alpha, I'm here since the Early access came out

[gentle forum]

alpha was forever ago

[small pendant]

May of 2023

[strange barn]

oh, not so forever then

I thought it was like two years maybe

well, it's nearly two years in fact

you were there at the alpha Primo ?

[gentle forum]

No.

[small pendant]

Yep

[gentle forum]

You can look at roles and see who had beta or alpha

[strange barn]

that's, two very different answers

I guess it's the A256 and b256

[gentle forum]

yep

[strange barn]

is there any data on how much the game has cost so far or is it something really confidental ?

[gentle forum]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[small pendant]

We do not ask moneys

[strange barn]

'kay

fair enough here

[gentle forum]

Keen is a private company so I doubt they'd share

[small pendant]

I think there's something on steam about how many were sold or something like that

[strange barn]

3 millions copies I think

well maybe more now

[small pendant]

I believe 3 million was announced in one of their news / socials feed posts

[strange barn]

oh no it's 3 million players*

but yeah I guess they count that as sells

anyway

[small pendant]

Yeah, one player is one sale. I don't think that the library allows sharing of EA games, so it couldn't count players that borrowed from a friend.

[strange barn]

that's pretty cool for them, and for us as well

That buidling week end was so nice

I'm pretty hyped for the next stuff

lots of empty houses now...

[gentle forum]

Steam sharing is up to developer discretion, Enshrouded can be shared I play on my second steam

[small pendant]

I was going to make a halloween build but other things came up

[small pendant]

I did not know that. I guess since I was playing with friends, everyone I was playing with had their own. I even talked a coworker into playing it and he's got about 350 hours and going strong on Enshrouded lol

[gentle forum]

I've bought too many copies for people

[strange barn]

I'm at 4 copies

[small pendant]

I bought for my husband to make him play with me LOL

[strange barn]

I would love to play with my wife, but she's busy doing the same thing I am in the game... Gardening

what a life we have

[small pendant]

Sometimes you have to play a farm simulator

[strange barn]

Well, I'm just doing the same thing in game and in life.... Cut wood, build houses and make music

I got to say I prefer the Enshrouded artistic direction

Real world is pretty but not so magic

but for the music I'll stand in the real world

sorry devs

[small pendant]

I like rock, rock/alt, and some pop, so yeah, I tend to listen to different music while playing LOL

[strange barn]

pretty much the same. And a lot of hardcore/punk and metal stuff.
that's my second job tho. But not in a special genre.
I don't know how to say it in english but I make concert and fest to make quick

[small pendant]

Oh, and some metal too

[strange barn]

not representing as artist

[strange barn]

🤘

[small pendant]

and some jpop/kpop/baby metal added in for random

[strange barn]

Oh, baby metal really rooooocks on stage it's a freacking great band no matter what people says

I dont no for jpop and kpop

never really listened to

I only know few japanese rappers x)

I know they're making good rock in Asia, like the hu, but I did not have the time to dive into it for now

[woeful light]

have you heard ningen isu?

[strange barn]

nope, but I will right now, I'm on my spotify moment

cant tell you what title it is xD

but I'm on the most listened

[small pendant]

I watch anime, play JRPGs, etc etc. I got introduced to JPOP whether I wanted to or not lol

[strange barn]

Anime got great soundtracks

I'm not into it but some friends are, and I'm always like when music comes

[strange barn]

well that's pretty sick, thanks for the advice

[quasi saffron]

Hear me play music at the chalkboard with my nails.

[strange barn]

I'd sample this and make a great beat I promise

[woeful light]

I've been listening to broadcast lately, warp keeps releasing unreleased material from them

[strange barn]

nice to know, I love to dig when I like something

[viral star]

that really gets some people

[tame tiger]

hello, overclocking your processor can cause minidump errors?

[viral star]

for my sister its formed styrofoam filler getting pulled out of the box for the first time

[viral star]

Yeah, if your lucky

overclocking creates instability issues, usually a latency issue between the CPU bus and RAM control chip, which ideally you want a dump file to accurately diagnose that is indeed the case

[tame tiger]

ok thanks

[viral star]

But the non-techie version: keep tuning it down until it stops crashing

higher numbers mean nothing if it cant stay on

[tame tiger]

ok i see thanks

[viral star]

@tame tiger New to crash logs? Windows+R (run), type eventvwr.msc, on the left panel menu expand into Windows Logs>System.

Enjoy

[tame tiger]

yes, I was only able to play this game for 2 hours because of the minidumps which happen every 10 minutes

[viral star]

overclocking is 1 part experience, 1 part luck, 2 parts memory. Good hardware isnt always guarenteed by stats, same componants have quality factors during manufacturing. Since noone knows until you buy it, lucky is king. Experience will speed things along but you can definately get by with a guide and patience. But memory.... always keep track of what you changed, what worked, what didnt. Eventually you will find a happy place.

start from the bottom up, not top down. Far more frustrating crashing every time, than never crashing until you find the point when you do

and theres my nickel knowledge for the evening

[tame tiger]

unfortunately I did all the steps of the bot, nothing changed, I tried to call a marabout but he also couldn't do anything xD so I end up with a game that doesn't work and they refuse to reimburse me x)

[viral star]

Well unfortunately, all hardware is different. Lots of factors based on drivers and setup which noone but you can account for. And the game is as is, and nowhere does anyone advertise it less than a work in progress

[blazing brook]

there is a fix to the mini dumps

[viral star]

Simply overclocking to the point of instability is certainly not going to help with a high shader cutting edge feature ... not remotely release day quality optimized, early access game

or its a known bug and shivv will lead you to the light

there is that

[blazing brook]

i am trying to remeber exactly what i did i crashed everythinmem i entered to shroud give me a min

[viral star]

sounds like a volumetric fog setting unhappy with drivers

[blazing brook]

https://gamever.io/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-enshrouded-crash-minidump-error

i used what is here to fix most of the mini dumps but there was something else that i need to find

[viral star]

Yeah if your GPU doesnt have enough onboard RAM, this game is gonna hurt you bad. VRAM is probably about the only thing you can do if your GPU isnt rated

and disable as many shaders as possible

[blazing brook]

there was a setting i chnaged in the steam file that reset the display stuff and i have never had an issue in like 2 mouths im trying to find my post on here

[viral star]

force earlier DirectX?

[blazing brook]

can i search my post in this channel

[viral star]

top right

doesnt look like the keep logs very far back

oh nm Discord just changed stuff on me again

@tame tiger ^ shivv is your best bud

well you tried anyways

Everyone tell your wife to fire up the school networking APB

Personally I'm not one to get all salivating over hints. More consumed with the fact you know something I dont and therefore have leverage over me

[small pendant]

I know tons of things you don't know O.O

Not just about Enshrouded either

[elfin needle]

Of course you do

[viral star]

Eh, probably less than youd like

[small pendant]

More than you'd think. I work for AV industry and get to learn tech stuffs before release a lot

[elfin needle]

But you know that somewhere out there is someone who knows way more than you do

[small pendant]

There's someone that always knows more than you do about something, no one knows all the all.

[elfin needle]

True

[viral star]

I work for the government managing secure tax and student data between the fed and universities on encrypted protocols

[small pendant]

So you know lots of people owe lots of stuffs and way more protocols than I ever want to lol

Oh yeah tell me why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch then

That’s what i thought tough guy

[viral star]

Kids dont love cinnamon toast crunch, dad does. they just follow

[quiet geyser]

sugar is addictive right

[small pendant]

I didn't follow. Then again, I'm allergic to cinnamon

[viral star]

honestly, I never was much of a sweets fan growing up

birthday cake was always angel food with preserves

[small pendant]

I'd prefer Angel food with fresh fruit and whipped cream, not preserves.

[viral star]

well. fruit in light syrup, whatever was handy I guess mom thought was fancy as Sears or something

[green wadi]

I voted no

[quiet geyser]

I think we always had angel food with strawberries

[viral star]

Blackberry....

[small pendant]

Yes, that is the best. Love strawberries with it.

[gentle forum]

Strawberries soaked in vodka

[small pendant]

Nope

[gentle forum]

Or in wine

Definitely not

[viral star]

lol, getting distracted, I got 3 loans left to process for the day and im done, and finding myself.... meh, tomorrow

[small pendant]

So close though, just 3 more

[viral star]

Well they cant disburse tonight its already processed for the day. Just setting them up for first thing in the morning and its one less thing I gotta add to the sheet of todos before coffee

But Trish is being sneaky, she snuck in a new loan ID number and now I must add it to my filter list before I forget so none escape without eyeballs on em

always somethin

ruh roh. its not showing up on the list... dead award ID? no bueno

aye there it is, non disburseable checkbox. neener neener

this is my life

[small pendant]

I write manuals....I don't deal with other people mess ups or sneekies O.O

[viral star]

No point in writing manuals for this stuff. We were blessed with a new database system, immediately followed by a contract for a bigger one for all departments. So by contract we use this for 18 months and then flush it. wheee

[small pendant]

LOL I wouldn't want to write manuals for it, sounds kind of boring

[viral star]

well its never dull. Even the people selling the stuff dont understand a lot of it. Its getting old, fast. Just today another major problem because the software didnt properly report erroring uploads... for the last month. Everything was fine we thought. Hah

Still fixing the last big screwup by them. Oh well. Its a job

[small pendant]

See, I like manuals, I get the stuff after all the broken bits are fixed (mostly). I just work with the product, ask some questions when something isn't intuitive for even someone that knows that tech or software, etc.

[quiet geyser]

Want to talk about boring. I fact check legal documents. Now that is boring.

💤

[viral star]

Some days I do that, but far from my primary duties

But as main IT i do need to maintain legal requirements for accuracy provided to the public

including.... all documents and publications

[quiet geyser]

It takes a lot of caffeine 😁

at least for me

[viral star]

I can start off with a tall cup, but after that itll just guarentee bathroom dependancy lol

People are lazy. And if there are twitch drops, 300+ watch the same streamer just to get the free items

[small pendant]

Why wouldn't you watch a stream for free stuffs?

[split schooner]

I just watch whoever seems least annopying and I don't even actually watch I just let it run with the sound off.

[small pendant]

Try to be nice to the stream and don't mute in the actual stream, but mute the tab, then you will count as a viewer. You don't always if you don't have the audio running in the stream.

[split schooner]

I mean the sound off on my computer.

[small pendant]

Ohh okay, lol

[split schooner]

Yeah I know about where I can and can't mute, easiest just to turn the sound off on the comp

It's usually off anyway

[small pendant]

I just remind people, because a lot of people will mute in the channel and it's not fair those people don't always get the view numbers.

[viral star]

I couldnt do it, I had to go back to write one last email for one last student record I just knew I would forget. LOL

I guess thats what I like about my job. It's hard not to feel motivated when everything you do matters the whole world the the person on the other end of those efforts. Even if it is a thankless profession.

But I got something like 400k in awards and loans out to like 100 students today. Now they will wake up and check thier credit balance and freaking fist pump the air. Put some pep in thier step all day.

[small pendant]

It's nice to have a job where you can literally make someone's day happy.

[viral star]

Well, theres another side to that coin tho right? Because of all the nonsense with new system and last minute implementation and god help me with the changes the fed keeps making as we go along this year... this was all supposed to happen.... 42 days ago. And here I am jack hammering solutions one by one to clean up the mess from the 50 million something aid I already got out

oops, wrong word, meant to say, Audit is gonna be narly next Spring

But dont get me wrong, this was additional aid, 350k of it was private alternate loans that only JUST came in approved. We made sure they had aid to live off of until now.

But some of it wasnt....

[small pendant]

Yeah, but to have some chance at making a person's day, it's nice.

[viral star]

true, and yeah it will, 42 days into the semester, most of them have given up hope and filed complaints with federal aid regulators

[small pendant]

Most of us have jobs that don't affect other people's worlds.

[viral star]

Well its like, when I was a roofer. Seeing that look on somebodies face first time they drive into thier driveway looking at their house with sheer pride in thier eye. That was nice too.

Watching your jackoff wannabe first time company owner know it all jackwagon fall through a customers ceiling twice in 10 minutes after he told you to watch your own step. Not so much (30 minutes later 2 of us quit, was first jobsite, total disaster)

Seen him like 6 years later as a customer service and go getter at a lumber yard

that was a paycheck I gladly never picked up

[tall idol]

Good evening peoples.

[viral star]

o/

I wonder what those poor people thought when they got home.... Half the roof (trusses and all) totally gone, storm clouds brewing. 2 guys scrambling with brand new tarps all over. Yard completely tore up with pettybone (one of thier most vocal requests, dont tear up the yard) TORE up, and master bedroom has two new holes in the drywall, all over your mattress. Holy cow did that guy use up all of his bonded insurance in one foul swoop

Lol my buddy (who happened to be the guy that talked me into that gig) just comes running over to me with phone on his head yelling bloody murder "she did what!?! where is she now!?! tell them I will be right there!?!" Considering the previous half hours events I knew something was up. Pretended his daughter just got arrested and we had to bail right then. Never talked to that dude again (the failed boss guy). Aside from the lumber yard

I almost felt bad leaving him with all that.... but it was 110% his doing. And we werent gonna be skapegoats for none of that

[small pendant]

O.O

[viral star]

course he was in panick mode, hence I say 2 ppl scrambling with tarps cuz he called in one of his buddies. We just... let them at it

lol yeah, I got stories. seen some things man. Been around yknow?

but now I do this 😄

And on that day we learned that a spoiled carpenters son that wants to break free of the family business, is in no way shape or form qualified for roofing

Oh heres another good one. Worked for another guy like 3 weeks before I gave up. Dude was partially crushed for 40 minutes in a collapse on a pipe trench he was digging. Serious nerve damage. His best friend died. Big guy, ego for miles. One morning sits there telling us all the things NOT to do, to avoid the same fate right? Well here he is digging pipe ditches, has me in said ditch. Is he putting in any steel safety frames? No, just go go go. And then he drives the escavator tracks spanning both sides of said ditch, right over my head. Took me about 3 second to climb outa that and walk to my car.

People are amazing.

Y'know that level of mad, beyond the mad you thought you ever reached? That was that moment for me. Holy cow. If he weren't such a huge dude.... oh I had some unkind dreams for a week.

[prisma surge]

I know all too well what you mean. I had a real temper in my younger years. I've cooled my jets almost to the opposite extreme in my older years though, but yeah there was a time. Let's put it like this, there's probably a good reason God didn't make me a large physically powerful person.

[viral star]

Yeah I'm not a big guy either. But there are moments in life where none of that matters anymore lol

I can count on one hand I've been so mad that I couldnt speak, just whisper is all I could muster, throat was so swolen with blood pressure

[prisma surge]

Thing is too, that kind of anger and temper will destroy your health so it's not good.

[viral star]

Aggrivating as heck lol because at those moments all you wanna do is scream at someone, but nope. Like karma just had to put the brakes on a little.

[prisma surge]

It's really best to get the anger under control and focus that force on something else.

[viral star]

Nah I'm pretty chill. You gotta go way above and beyond, like directly endanger my life like I was a spare tire, as that guy did.

[prisma surge]

Yeah I am the same way. Much too patient. Probably to my loss. But, once that limit is reached it's best to find another planet to live on.

[viral star]

My wife had the temper, I always had to maintain the sanity. And kids are good at showing you how your going to manage tolerance and humility over the years.

[prisma surge]

I don't have any kids but I did have to care for my younger brother and sister for some years. They will test your patience.

[viral star]

Yuppers

But hey, survived all that nonsense. Was kinda comparing what I do now with some nightmare past bosses. Not sure what spurred that on

My inner id humbling myself perhaps

[prisma surge]

Oh I've had some employers, I would have liked to give them the old face bash on their desk and walk out. But I'm not going to prison for some stupid ass.

[viral star]

Lol, that guy I last mentioned... almost took me there. I weighed the idea of a few months very seriously

[prisma surge]

lol

When you're calculating possible prison time to the worth of putting some ass in their place, that's pretty funny.

[viral star]

Thats how downright disrespected I felt

literally talk about safety, talk about Iron boxes being used in the ditch that morning. and then drive over my head with the escavator putting a few tons on the dirt walls I am between. Yeah heck with you guy

[prisma surge]

When someone does something that reckless I would be questioning their real intent.

[viral star]

just zero, zero acknolwedgement that I was anything more than disposable labor

well and he got his best friend killed doing the same darn thing a year prior

it was like... yeah.... i see why. what in the world

[prisma surge]

Sounds like it's time for this guy to do some prison time for reckless endangerment

[viral star]

didnt learn much did ya? Hope those splattered veins cause you gangrene in the next few years your selfish ungratefull...... ugh

in the end, just had to walk away, detach, for sanity, health as you said

and it was probably a good thing work was an hour drive away

[prisma surge]

yeah, only give your anger a certain amount of time then say "no more"

Because if someone is wrong, it will come back on them. It's just a matter of time. And I have learned over the years, time is always on my side.

[viral star]

But yeah thats a very rare moment. Why its such an ideal example of what not to look for

But without those moments in life, terrible people you call boss and realizing it wasnt even worth it, puts all the others into better perspective

How one defines appreciation

[prisma surge]

You will find too you will settle much more as you get older

[tall idol]

It's called being old. 😛

[viral star]

Yeah I'm in a good place currently

Still plenty of room to work up towards goals but. Doing alright.

[prisma surge]

I'm actually glad to be much more settled in my older years. Settled not just emotionally but with my thoughts and beleifs. Not wrestling with questions, etc. There's nothing I recall being fun about those earlier years.

[viral star]

Eh... wouldnt mind being 180lbs again

[tall idol]

I am the boss? I think. Lol.

[viral star]

Jeeze, renewed my drivers license just a few days ago.... shes like... is your height the same? is your weight the same? I was like.... whats it say? 190lbs. Hah..... ok no.... lets say 220 and be kind to myself (realizing in 4 years yeah that happened)

[prisma surge]

heh people do get a little shorter over time

[viral star]

lol

[prisma surge]

I guess you could say that's another way older people settle

[viral star]

not sure if your appealing to my good side or mistaken that for centimeters

either way, got a chuckle

[prisma surge]

Well Ive put on weight too, but it's belly weight like most men get I am not fat I just take a bigger pants size than I used to

[viral star]

Aye. Covid charmed right up to me

Few surgeries didnt help much either

But way I saw it... Covid cramping the world, been put on unemployment because of it... might as well take care of it, when ever again in my life can I say... gonna do nothing for a few months.

[prisma surge]

Covid caused my office to have peopel working from home. And they stayed that way since. It worked out pretty good for me.

[viral star]

Yeah I ended up in that boat, but after the fact

Worked at the office for a year, and kept getting complaints against me about being a few minutes late, having to call in last minute too often (single father, kid gets sick, kid gets sick) Boss was like whelp.... seems to me, best solution here is....

[prisma surge]

Yeah I dont have to deal with that anymore. I dont even set an alarm clock. I just wake up, spend an hour or so reading up on news, have a cup of coffee then turn to my work desk and go to work

[viral star]

Nah I definately got responsibilities everybody would otherwise be waiting on me for. I am the IT for our department. I move the data and find fix the problems noone else can.

[tall idol]

Do you like WFH? I mean, overall.

[prisma surge]

Yeah that's a whole different scenario

[viral star]

yeah 100%, going into 3rd month now

I havent seen my office, and I do have my own office with a door and all that. a single day since

[tropic veldt]

I wish I could go WFH. I could, I have a desk job project managing, but for some reason Google is really against the idea.

[prisma surge]

haha I've never personally met anyone I work with

But we are in comms all day

[tall idol]

My husband has been WFH for.. 20+ years.

[viral star]

I sat at my desk, putting up with grumpy middle aged women scoffing at the fact I invaded thier harmonious work environment for a whole year

And patience rewarded

[tall idol]

I do the house spouse gig.

[viral star]

eh, its not a bad deal, all things considered

[tropic veldt]

Wish more people could do that honestly

It's so hard nowadays

[prisma surge]

Well a lot more people are working form home now.

I can't imagine trying to do it with kids though

[viral star]

Yeah, i got my own AC and heat climate control. 2 blocks from kids school. Not putting miles on the car

Gotta use the bathroom, not in a old limestone cave with weird stall heights and an echo that turns a fart into a thunderclap

[prisma surge]

I switch my car insurance to a low miles discount program. When I told the insurance agent how many miles I actually put on my car she's like "Oh wow you really don't drive much do you"

[viral star]

Well I feel after covid nothing surprises them anymore

They like, I see you didnt have registration for 6 months. I was like, yeah what for? Can walk to the store.

You want me to pay 225 dollars for registration when Im sipping off my last bank account waiting for boss to call and say HEY, restrictions are lifted

Been an interesting few years

[prisma surge]

I think it has for everyone

[viral star]

well yeah, was my meaning

[prisma surge]

If you had told me 20 years ago what was going to happen over the last 10 I would have said you're crazy.

[viral star]

Eh I learned early to never underestimate the stupidity of humanity, especially in groups

[prisma surge]

I sure did. I mean I knew the world was full of idiots. I was dumbfounded to realize just how many and how dumb. Things are not the same as when I grew up.

[tall idol]

Husband does IT... stupid is kind of the name of the game.

[viral star]

And somehow, we keep managing to one up ourselves each year

[tropic veldt]

Social media broke a lot of people's brains

[viral star]

I'm IT 😛

[viral star]

Sadly, it didnt just break many, it completely kept a whole generation from developing one

[tropic veldt]

It's absolutely terrible for children

[viral star]

I work at a university. the statistics we have for the last years graduating class, is absolutely appalling

Highschools with the lowestest average scores, and ambition for career or higher education goals, completely bury any other year before it

[tropic veldt]

I'm generally not a big fan of telling people what they can and can't do but there's been numerous studies that social media should not be something children have access to

[viral star]

yeah no, my son is totally screwed

[prisma surge]

I don't disagree. Social media and cell phones.

[tropic veldt]

I deleted all my social media accounts at the beginning of covid and my mental health immediately improved

[prisma surge]

Nothing makes me more sick than seeing a bunch of kids all standing around staring at their cell phones like zombies.

[viral star]

Hes got no hope to get around my knowledge and parenting choices

[prisma surge]

Here's another pro tip on healing your sanity. Turn off the TV. I haven't owned one for over 20 years.

[tropic veldt]

We don't have one in our living room, we have an old school vinyl player instead

I haven't watched TV in years tbh

[viral star]

I dont do cable. Streaming with no commercials only. And I approve each show. drives him nuts but its my house

[prisma surge]

Hah my step father had an old Victrola. I used to listen to the old ceramic records on it.

[viral star]

hes lucky to have xbox but, theres gotta be some reward in all there

[prisma surge]

But yeah television these days will turn your brain into soup

[tropic veldt]

There's some good shows but they're few and far between, and usually coming out on some streaming service anyways. I can't tell you what cable looks like.

I haven't watched cable in probably close to a decade.

[viral star]

Nat Geo +

[prisma surge]

I would never willingly pay for a lobotomy

(cable tv)

[tropic veldt]

I can't even listen to the radio in the car cause I get irrationally angry the moment a commercial dares to exist in my presence

I'll drive in silence before I listen to the radio ugh

They also play terrible music out here in Nebraska

[viral star]

yeah radio kinda died for me a while back too

[prisma surge]

I was at a friends house he was watching some episode of Walking Dead. It's like every 5 minutes commercials would come on and it was just one after another, I counted 7 at one point. I was like my god how can you even watch a program this is all just advertising being shoved down your throat.

No way am I paying for that

[viral star]

years and years of the jobbox, just ... dont care anymore

[tropic veldt]

Morning shock jocks out here also looooove using my existence as the butt of jokes and I ain't got time for that

[viral star]

AMC is pretty bad must admit

[prisma surge]

So I would be paying for the cable AND paying for advertisers to ram their BS in my face. They should be paying me to put up with it.

[viral star]

I think they spend about as much time advertising the show your watching, as actually playing the show

[prisma surge]

Seriously advertisers want to me to see their ads they can pay for my cable

[tropic veldt]

Less and less people are watching cable they gotta make their money somehow, might as well sell more ad time

At this point the people who would get the most bothered are long gone, may as well just lean all in

[viral star]

The walking dead marathon all next week! New episode every Friday! Walking dead spinoff #3 on latenight, missed last episode! stay tuned, repeating it right after this episode!

[prisma surge]

Pretty soon television is going to be 24/7 ads. And no one will be watching it.

[tropic veldt]

You know what doesn't have commercials, local theatre and books

[viral star]

Well I know here in America back in late 90s early 00s somewhere they actually got to like 40 minutes commercials 20 minutes show, and then FCC stepped in and backed it down as a mandatory regulation

[prisma surge]

If anyone manages to invent a recorder that automatically turns off when commercials come on they could make a fortune

[viral star]

lol, Tivo comes to mind

maybe didnt skip them altogether but sure did introduce that handy skip forward 20 seconds button

[prisma surge]

I think broadcast companies should be required to send a signal when their commerical breaks begin and end.

[subtle prawn]

I mean Discord also is social media

[viral star]

But as we all seem to agree, havnt had that problem in ages. Just stream what I want, cycle through services every 4 months to let some get new content while I catch up on anything worthy on the other

[prisma surge]

Discord is more like the old IRC days

[tropic veldt]

I don't know if I'd call it that, it's more like an old school forum.

[viral star]

how dare you sir degrade my over glorified message board

[prisma surge]

I did message board before IRC

[viral star]

To really go the social media step, id say it would have to throw useless crap at me like windows does not with a unremoveable panel of utter nonsense I dont want

[subtle prawn]

It is classified as social media, but I wouldn't call it as harmful as like instagram

[prisma surge]

When I was growing up we didn't even have computers, we had rotary phones.

[viral star]

Discord has the power to spread social media

with its fancy capacity to share absolutely anything in channel

[prisma surge]

And we had things like Dial-A-Joke

[viral star]

hah yeah

get your morning coffee

[tropic veldt]

Oh rotary phones. I worked in an escape room awhile back that had a rotary as part of a puzzle and I always had to explain to people what it was

[prisma surge]

good grief lol

[tropic veldt]

Which was weird cause like I'm mid 30s and know what a rotary is

[viral star]

dial into the swingers hot tip of the day. Spend a few hours pouring over Perl community

[prisma surge]

rotary is all we had it was cutting edge

[viral star]

Once upon a time the whole block had a single line you shared

phone numbers were a few digits and a operator directory

[tropic veldt]

I miss people not being able to call me

[prisma surge]

(pulls pants up to armpits) When I was your age ....

[tropic veldt]

Cell phones were a real blow to the introverts of the world let me tell you

[viral star]

I remember when mom got the cordless handset phone. and that freaking 20 ft garote stopped interfering with the dinner table

[prisma surge]

Nah I still don't use mine except to login to my remote work PC and occasional text messages

[subtle prawn]

Ignoring your phone is also a way tho ^^

[tropic veldt]

Oh yeah it's perma-silent

[viral star]

my phone does one thing, ring

everything else is what this computer is for

[prisma surge]

And of course you could never get the kinks out of that damn cord no matter how much you tried.

[tropic veldt]

People know to call my husband if they really need me lol but I dislike the fact they can call me.

Do not perceive me

[viral star]

after mom took that think outside to check the mailbox a few times? it didnt even have a singular direction of coil ever again

looks more like that ribbon at the bottom of last years christmas penny pinching

[subtle prawn]

Understandable, I hate cell phones for that

[tropic veldt]

But on the upside it does mean I always have easy access to my music which is a huge bonus

[viral star]

course it was funny when while she was walking around it would bunch up real good from a few dozen circles, then shed walk the distance just enough for it to finally snap free and it just like whipping a jumprope straight to her face

course it never really made it but you sure were rooting

with the foam shoulder pad the size of a shoe

[subtle prawn]

Remove the calling part but keep the music ^^ kinda sounds like an mp3 player

[viral star]

lol

walkman lives

[tall idol]

Bunch of old f*cks in here. waggles a cane at people You kids stay off my lawn!

[viral star]

There was about 20 second I thought using that tape converter cable and some velcro to put a discman in my truck was like... the way forward. A few offroading bumps later.... ah heck with this, put the tape back in

[tropic veldt]

I have distinct memories of my old CD Walkman skipping whenever I walked too intensely lol

[subtle prawn]

Mp3 players aren't even that old

[viral star]

depends on who you ask

[tall idol]

Walkman is old.

[viral star]

yeah walkman is the og

[tall idol]

Mine played tapes.

[viral star]

thats what walkman was

[tall idol]

They did cd players too. later.

[viral star]

discman

[tall idol]

Same company. 😛

[viral star]

yes... but different device / medium

them woudlve been fighting words once upon a time

you never insulted a players walkman with the shame of throwing it in with them discman crowds

[subtle prawn]

It was still somewhat popular like 15y ago

[viral star]

That was like calling a blackberry a cellphone

[tall idol]

It covers the whole critter

[viral star]

Yeah, I dunno when it took off, but it sure did. Wireless devices just went zoom

I remember getting a Nextel and was like, yup, this is it.

Little weather app downloaded from some .org tools site with the resolution of a tamagachi, with the push to talk to my 2.5 coworkers that always had it on mute

Yup, I was cool

Was a small period I rocked two cellphone, one for work, one personal. Both hip holstered in velcro pouches like I was sporting mace and a blackjack

But thank god I never ever touched a fanny pack

couldnt say that about everyone in my circle haha

gotta admit though, whenever got that awkward sneeze where its just hanging off your fingers, fannypack was right there like johnny on the spot

the pride they had, like to make it the swiss army quarter square foot of unnecessities

But I was IT back then so, needed the ladder, drill, cables, crimpers, RJ45 assortments. caulk, voltometer, sockets, lags. Life lessons if its not in your truck and you cant go get it, you didnt need it. Fanny pack what

still holstered them two cellphones tho LOL... ah well everyone has that one year

it got old fast. When your boss is like, your on call this weekend, and you get that third call at 2am from the old lady asking how she can keep her busband off the pornography (can i say taht in here?), your like, yeah I dont want this nextel anymore

Lol, reminds me of a story, because in no way Am I just flooding this channel again, but we actually did some direct good by doing almost nothing.... this couple had some problem, cant remember, virus or something: so shes showing us 'the process' of getting online, which was dialup, and this old 28.8k modem was loud as a busted brake caliper. She was completely deaf all her life, but read lips and talked like you would never know. But looked at that poor guy and was like, y'know there is a volume for that right? 5 seconds, muted it. Never seen a happier man in my life.

[viral star]

Really gotta learn how to hook an audience. o/

[quasi saffron]

Morning.
The audience here isn't hookable.
Fishing hasn't been patched in.

[viral star]

Eh, i get about 15 minutes every 12 hours

[burnt root]

Game resuscitation when

[viral star]

Watching a few win10 win11 comparison videos and starting to feel really bad about my future

take me back to NT4 and just leave me there

[prisma surge]

Z Nation is better than Walking Dead

just sayin

[viral star]

I feel like I've seen some of it

thats the darker history on some of the characters?

[plain tapir]

Seconded! Z Nation was awesome!

[inner raven]

It's been a while, just wondering if we are going to get a sex update. I'd like to procreate with my NPC's if possible

[quasi saffron]

Won't happen for sure

But maybe with time and patience NPCs will get more by themselves.
Also, I think the Farm animals may do that. According to the lil' goat Tiger showed

[subtle prawn]

You mean the food?

[quasi saffron]

Yea the food.

[signal ocean]

good morning gang

[subtle prawn]

Morning CUB

[strange barn]

morning here

[signal ocean]

what's good

[strange barn]

being alive, and the weather

what about you ?

[signal ocean]

mmh

talking about cool things with the team!

[strange barn]

sounds great

I dreamed about the game this night.
Well, it was not the game, but only the guy in the new armor from the teaser that was in my dream.

Proudly standing and people around me were like ''omg this is him''

I felt his greatness

[subtle prawn]

👀

[strange barn]

and then my cat wanted to eat

[split schooner]

I am having a bad night. Lowlights include rage quitting Throne and Liberty because of a gliding puzzle 😒 and my chair collapsing because of a leg we thought we fixed. Plenty else bad has happened but it’s either too personal or too minor to mention. ARGH

[strange barn]

hope it gets better from now then

sounds like a bad night indeed

[split schooner]

Yeah me too. In a few hours I have to take the kitten to the cet for shots. I can do with nothing going wrong there.

[strange barn]

crossed fingers

And always remember when you feel bad that it could be worse !! (yeah that's an awesome advice I know)

[split schooner]

I am going to try to take a nap again, hope I don’t have night terrors like my attempt a few hours ago.

[strange barn]

Oh damn, strong stuff night terrors

I really wish you get some rest

[split schooner]

Had them since I was a kid when stressed.

Oh well will check back later.

[strange barn]

okay, kinda use to then

@noble anchor Nearly finished Satellite city, what a thing it is.
Pretty cool stuff and very good humor !

[quasi saffron]

Back hurty

I see something you guys didnot.

[subtle prawn]

Dragons? Unicorns?

[quasi saffron]

One of our CMs playing Enshrouded. 👀

[strange barn]

😮

I bet that's Toast

[quasi saffron]

Wrong. Try another

[strange barn]

FROG

[quasi saffron]

U sure.

[strange barn]

could be CUB but I think he is busy talking

[quasi saffron]

Maybe they're busy showing him stuff in the game.

[strange barn]

Oh, yeah, I know he is talking about ''cool things''

but he didn't said he was WATCHING it

or worse

PLAYING IT

😮

[quasi saffron]

Unfathomable

[strange barn]

that's why he is a good CM

just giving enough cookies but not too much

[quasi saffron]

And sometimes even ghosting
