Resurgence (WIP) - Primordial Arts

[static finch]

(modesty is my strong suit, indeed)

[night prism]

i'm not trying to be poetic

i'm trying to be real

but i'm just bad at this

[static finch]

you gotta be real AND poetic

you just lack the lexicon

[night prism]

i don't think general negativity is the right approach here

[static finch]

and phraseological knowledge

and just english

[static finch]

my approach is to expect the worst from anything

as to not be disappointed

so i must disagree

[night prism]

this things can coexist though

[static finch]

these*

[night prism]

it's right to be ready for the worst

[static finch]

i know

i still have hope

i always will have it

[night prism]

but being negative fixes nothing

[static finch]

by pure statistical probability, it's unlikely that 2 worst things can happen back2back

so

hope is just mathematical

after all, the fabric of reality could collapse at any microsecond

[night prism]

cynicism is damn brain poison

please don't be

it fucks you up

[night prism]

indeed

[static finch]

i'm just taking things as a fact

if it ain't broken, don't fix it

[night prism]

that's what i do

[static finch]

i may appear cynical but i am not THAT cynical

[night prism]

you know, our compatriot Francesco Guccini made a song about this

[static finch]

oh great

italian history

i don't remember a single thing about it

all useless

[night prism]

do you know who guccini is lol?

[static finch]

see i don't

but when someone pulls out italian singers i don't care who's contemporary or not

as you try to avoid italian i try to avoid italian media too

[night prism]

he's a damn singer-songwriter

[night prism]

i get that

i do too

the only reason i know him is because my parents loved his music

but he's great

[static finch]

and?

[night prism]

nothing

[static finch]

jovanotti counts for that description too

what's your point

[night prism]

you started talking about history for some reason

[static finch]

90% of the time i hear "this italian guy made a song about it" it's either 1800s or 1900s

and i don't care about that time period

[night prism]

that's a song from like 2001

or maybe late 90s

[static finch]

yes i said 90% of the time

and uh

i didn't listen to it

[night prism]

anyway, it does not matter

[static finch]

(duh)

[night prism]

it just came to mind

nothing important

[static finch]

ah

if you say so

aaanyway

i sure do hope to still be awake when she comes back on

[night prism]

yeah

[static finch]

though it probably won't happen

[night prism]

it will if you just don't sleep

[static finch]

i got school tomorrow

dummy

do i really gotta stay awake till 4am or something?

[night prism]

you must present the group project

[static finch]

fun fact

i am making the 2 stupid slides

now

[night prism]

while playing vs?

[static finch]

obviously

did you SEE any vs gameplay?

[night prism]

real

[static finch]

after 15 minutes it's afk

if you got a good build

[night prism]

yeah i know

[static finch]

and i also have music

and am chatting with 2 people

one of them being you

[night prism]

you are multitasking here

autism gives u superpowers

[night prism]

i'm not special then :(

[static finch]

nope

:3

[night prism]

well

fine i guess

[static finch]

it's more like not being able to concentrate on one thing

if i don't care about it

[night prism]

so you don't care about me

nor vs

nor the other person you are chatting with

[static finch]

i don't care about italian

so

i try to intertwine it with stuff i give a shit about

like you

and my bf

and music

and VS

[night prism]

i'm in a list with some pretty important stuff

i'm honored

[static finch]

heh

you are important

[night prism]

good

[static finch]

you're the only reason this mountain of hopes and dreams keeps working

[night prism]

i'm sure

[static finch]

i'm serious

[night prism]

you are right

i know that

well, if anything this whole balatro modding business gave me a bit of an ego boost

i needed some

[static finch]

it made me feel way, WAY more self-conscious in being blind as shit

the universe giveth

the universe taketh away

[night prism]

don't lol

i'm broken in many ways too

my sight is mostly fine, except slight myopia

but i'm so broken otherwise

[static finch]

well if you don't mind me aksing

how so?

[night prism]

well, if we talking physically i'm shit

but fine, i don't actually use my body

[static finch]

real me

[night prism]

mentally i'm probably almost as broken as you

[static finch]

but uh

HOW

i refuse to believe you

[night prism]

i just don't make it my whole personality

it's easy to look normal on the internet

tbf i don't know how truly broken you are

so i can't say anything for sure

[static finch]

maybe this is also a mask, you know

maybe being quirky online is fun and i wouldn't even look at you irl, like i wouldn't look at anyone

[night prism]

maybe, pirandello

[static finch]

normality is relative, i say

[static finch]

waltah~1

[static finch]

irregularity is also relative, as a consequence

no matter how broken you are, all that matters is having an order uinque to oneself

if you were an "npc" you wouldn't be making music

most likely

[night prism]

i mean, i'm more quirky online too

[night prism]

not this good

[static finch]

quirkier*

[static finch]

the point is

being creative inevitably opens you up to be more of yourself

[night prism]

that word sound weird for some reason

[static finch]

simply put you can't make something, no matter what it is, without making it part you

[static finch]

trust me it's real

[night prism]

for real

[night prism]

i trus you

[static finch]

some things sound weird in english simple because they aren't derived from latin

[night prism]

so true

[static finch]

trust me this shit gave me a boost

[night prism]

the linguistics nerd in me is annoyed, but the italian in me finds this funny

[static finch]

both are irrelevant as language shifts erratically all the time

[night prism]

peak music

[static finch]

ikr

[night prism]

haven't listened to that in a while

[night prism]

also, were's the "I don't consume italian media" at?

[static finch]

there are some things exempt from that

also, we're everywhere

[night prism]

that's what liguistics is about

[static finch]

i know

[night prism]

all abot change

[static finch]

but i am not doing a tolkien impression rn

[static finch]

usleess to try and avoid us

[night prism]

true

[static finch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyweDTWwh8I here try this

[night prism]

just saw damn rasputin vs stalin lol

[night prism]

not really into speadcore but eh, this is pretty cool

not really into most kinds of electronic music honestly

except chiptune

and ambient

and avan-garde stuff

and electro jazz

[static finch]

it's peak

[static finch]

try electro swing

[night prism]

ok maybe i like electronic music actually

[night prism]

i despise it

[static finch]

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=NmrFd8D4qDE

[static finch]

ah well

i love it personally

[night prism]

i like electro jazz because i like jazz in general

[static finch]

but i repsect your opinion, mr throat singer

[night prism]

if it wasn't obvious from prism

[night prism]

i removed it though

i did not like it

[static finch]

what precisely

[static finch]

I GET IT

[night prism]

the throat singing

from the primordial music

[static finch]

oh

JOYUOUS DAY

[night prism]

you listened to it

you knew it already

[static finch]

yes but

i did not register that at all tbh

i had like, 50% volume and was still playing VS

[night prism]

this is not a good way of listening to my music

[static finch]

i mean

no sound

still

[night prism]

or any music really

[static finch]

was visually distracted

[static finch]

i made my playlist to be half background noise half stuff to be sad about while in the car/bus

and meme songs

[night prism]

i have a playlist for sadness, just one though

[static finch]

https://soundcloud.com/groovecubemusic/twist

contrmplate

this masterpiece

of pure idiocy

anything groovecube ever made is super out there except for like

4 or 5 songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkt-7M23iM my favorite (of his) is still this one though

[night prism]

this is so cheesy, i did it when i was, 16 or something

[night prism]

real music

[static finch]

holy hell

[static finch]

ikr

[static finch]

how's this tho

[night prism]

new response...

i'm not doing the bit

[static finch]

wdym

[night prism]

i'm bored

[static finch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coOb_HlFlr4

have this too

makes me feel super nostalgic for no reason

every time

[night prism]

very chiptuney

as expected from u

[static finch]

heh

meganeko is absolute art

it's so good i bought everything on bandcamp

[night prism]

no piracy?

it must be very good then

[minor oracle]

not pirating is illegal im pretty sure

[night prism]

if it's adobe it sure is

or like, 90% of companies really

[static finch]

https://soundcloud.com/clairebun/crack-the-code?in=thorbear/sets/2019-1 how's this?

[static finch]

like i give a shit

[minor oracle]

10000 years jail time for you

[static finch]

if someone deserves it

i must

i only buy worthy things

[static finch]

real

[night prism]

this is fine ngl

[static finch]

but re-logic, poncle, new blood and ghost ship games all deserve it

[night prism]

indeed

[night prism]

but those are all indie

so obviously they can be good

i'm in the stage of life were i wait for games for the music rather than for playing the anyway

[static finch]

yes

[static finch]

the otherworld soundtrack is FIRE

oh also ludeon

can't forget ludeon

[night prism]

i'm waiting for silksong more for the music than the game fr

[static finch]

anyway, ever played audiosurf?

[night prism]

i'm cooked

[static finch]

another delusional skonger

a true skonger does not need to see silkpost, he goes by pure instinct

[night prism]

the game is confirmed for 2025 though

[static finch]

and i am not one

[static finch]

hah

i know

still

i live for the memes

[night prism]

indeed

[static finch]

and before that one direct it wasn't

https://jonahhitchens.bandcamp.com/track/on-broadway anyway, i got this one thing

listen to it

[night prism]

well, now who's left in the sycho room?

half life 3 fans still there

[static finch]

my boyfriend

and tf2

[static finch]

being polish (aka poor)

prob can't afford the game on release

i'd gift it to him but i don't know when and i already gifted him the watcher

[night prism]

opposed to italian (also poor)

[static finch]

nah

euros rule

[night prism]

true

the italian economy rules a bit less but eh

we could have it worse

[static finch]

i now have a lot of questions

[static finch]

singlehandedly getting carried by germans

as everyone else

[night prism]

for reference (the Balkans)

[static finch]

HAH

at least they have fun being racist

to each other

[night prism]

so true

[static finch]

like,

that's horrible

where can i find more

who made it

[night prism]

so true

[static finch]

and where is their paypal

[magic sand]

What jokers were added

I just finished the exam so IMMA start drawing em

[night prism]

none i think

[static finch]

nuh uh

[magic sand]

Damm

[static finch]

i added 2

[night prism]

which ones?

[magic sand]

I mean like, what jokers are purple/green rn

[night prism]

oh

then we added sans

[night prism]

i also need to redraw frisk

[magic sand]

Drawing him then

[static finch]

THE SKELETON APPEARS

trollskull

anyway i am done with that stupid powerpoint

[night prism]

i think we are not referencing enough games with planars

[static finch]

fuck vittorio alfieri and that stupid countess or whatever she was

[static finch]

truth but i am just super autistic for vs

wait there's also these 4

@magic sand

[night prism]

alfieri was just, forgettable

i don't remember anything of his

while i remember a lot from other autors

[static finch]

alfieri is useless like every single idiot before the 1900s to me

[magic sand]

Mhhh

Ye I can do that

[static finch]

hell yeah

it's all vampire survivors

all italians being stupid

all pure peak

[night prism]

foscolo was based

[static finch]

meh

i just find literature dreadful in general

[night prism]

skill issue

[static finch]

guess why i no life on steam instead of on a kindle

[night prism]

also, no mecojoni 0/10

[static finch]

i have no ideas for hi-

wait

NEVERMIND

[night prism]

i no life on vs code

beat me

[static finch]

i won't

i mean i can beat you in other ways

[night prism]

wise

[static finch]

the joke here being

GaySex

[night prism]

one of those days i'm succumbing to the woke mind virus, turning gay and making you regret all of this

but for now, one can only hope

[static finch]

i mean

don't threaten me with a good time

[night prism]

i will

[static finch]

YAY :3

[night prism]

but first you must give me the gay

i'm negative rn

[static finch]

erosion always works with enough time

[static finch]

@night prism

look

at it

[night prism]

i like it

[static finch]

based on 108 bocce (actually, it's just 8)

which is his starting weapon

[night prism]

real

[static finch]

and becomes more powerful the bigger the difference between luck and curse of the holder is

[night prism]

the game as balls now

we also have dick

look at salmon

[static finch]

the joke is that tanuki traditionally have big balls

in japanese culture

[night prism]

i got it

[static finch]

didya

[night prism]

pretty good

[static finch]

there's also the kappa called gavettoni

[night prism]

I need to play this game lol

[static finch]

you must

it's like, under 20 euros with all dlc

which are all worth it

[night prism]

In my wishlist then

Though, we need to find another game to make references to

What's another game you are obsessed with?

Please don't say btd6

I'm not adding monkeys to the mod

Not like I have the power to chose

But still

[static finch]

why not?

i like funny monkey game

and I even have more time on it than VS

[night prism]

Yeah but like

Not really fitting for the mod imo

[static finch]

also, if you didn't notice

there's Etienne there already

aka the gremlin with drones

[night prism]

I indeed did not notice that

[static finch]

(he literally me)

I'd add Benjamin too

[night prism]

Real

[static finch]

just because eco joker

[night prism]

Other games?

[static finch]

hmm

ror2

[night prism]

This is not my mod so I have no power here

[static finch]

more etg

more noita

[night prism]

True

[static finch]

you did enough to have a say here imo

[night prism]

That one I actually played

[static finch]

no better

you did more than you ever should have

in theory

[night prism]

I have fun modding

Is not like I'm getting anything out of it anyway

It be prism of this

Same thing

[static finch]

what about more Isaac

and terraria

[night prism]

Was gonna say that

[static finch]

hm makes sense

[static finch]

CURSE YOU EDMUND MCMILLEN

[night prism]

Omg, how did I not think of this

[static finch]

and Starbound

[night prism]

Painter joker for paints is coming

[static finch]

and modded Minecraft

[static finch]

hi bob

[night prism]

Only modded

[static finch]

specifically modded

vanilla is for losers

[night prism]

Terraria is one of the games I actually know a lot about for once

Same for hollow knight

[static finch]

I hate HK because the art style is too good and I can't see shit

[night prism]

No hollow knight jokers?

[static finch]

I made the soul of terraria

[night prism]

Sad

[static finch]

if you want, go right ahead but I am ignorant on the matter

[night prism]

Fair

[static finch]

same with rain world

[night prism]

I can't edit the sheet though

[static finch]

why not

if ONLY

someone was around

[night prism]

Jen already preceded us

[static finch]

well just scribble them somewhere i'll add them if worst comes to worst

[static finch]

I meant

i can't play it

trust me I tried

[night prism]

Terraria calamity jokers when?

[static finch]

something something terraria x balatro

already doing those

[night prism]

Rip

[static finch]

nobody made thorium tho

:3

[night prism]

My fav mod

[static finch]

GIANT MEDUSA TIME

[static finch]

i love thorium, the stars above and AFK's pets more than calamity

[night prism]

But there are also 3 different undertale mods

That did not stop us

[static finch]

the stars above cause they remember about starbound, mainly

[static finch]

they're not as influential as terraria x balatro

are they

[night prism]

Dunno

We are better anyway

[static finch]

real

[night prism]

I'll come up with some hk ideas

[static finch]

hell yeah

[night prism]

Though I don't know if our local hyena likes it

[static finch]

no idea but I dunno

I for one never cared about dungeon meshi

and don't know much about the series either

but jokers are jokers

[night prism]

I never watched an anime nor read a manga

But dungeon meshi looks fun

Maybe because it's very western

So it's more familiar to me

[static finch]

well anyway

go play vs NOW

or RELATIVELY SOON

or else

I'll be harassing you till the end of time

[night prism]

Will be done

[static finch]

hell yeah

also uh

info

early game sucks

tbf

[night prism]

But if I don't like it I'm killing you

[static finch]

they should probably fix it somehow

[static finch]

I'll be awaiting my sweet release :3

[night prism]

Many such cases

But I can manage it

[static finch]

by the way if you want guidance ask me

[night prism]

I think

[static finch]

the game is not that clear

also if you play it in Italian it sounds super weird to read

[night prism]

Playing games in Italian? Couldn't be me

[static finch]

me neither but

there are some psychos

[night prism]

I have a balatro mod in English with no italian localization lol

[static finch]

it's super based

[night prism]

Does garbshit have it?

[static finch]

but i'm sure it's not localized out of sheer laziness

[night prism]

I guess not

[static finch]

I think? dunno tbf

[night prism]

True

But u know, I accidentally say English words when talking in Italian

Never the opposite

This shitty language is taking me

[static finch]

a shitty language for another

I go English mode more often than I need to

[night prism]

I prefer Italian 10 times over though

[static finch]

you serious?

the hell is your problem

[night prism]

Linguistically yes

[static finch]

Italian has no neutral pronouns, sucks just for that

[night prism]

But to speak, English

[night prism]

Latin did

But yeah, that's an issue

[static finch]

I know

[night prism]

Though we have such better spelling rules than English

[static finch]

thank you

I am an affected demographic

[static finch]

I wouldn't say so

but eh

[night prism]

Kinda weird that I can't talk about you in italian

[static finch]

what do I know

[night prism]

I literally cannot

[static finch]

why wouldn't you?

[night prism]

1984 shit

[static finch]

hello George

[night prism]

No they/them in italian

[static finch]

again

[static finch]

"loro"

[night prism]

Yeah

But it's ungrammatical

[static finch]

i am gold

after all

[night prism]

I still use it

[static finch]

I know this sucks

[night prism]

But like

It sounds like shit

[static finch]

yes that is ze problem

omfg Jen changed role color to red

[night prism]

Just revert to Latin I guess

[static finch]

mf's SCREAMING for attention

[night prism]

My god lol

The stop sign in the name too

I hate drama but this shit is funny

[static finch]

I love feeling important

[minor oracle]

seeing the almanac icon turn gray and emo was the funniest shit of all time

[static finch]

REAL

[night prism]

Real

[static finch]

mf pulled the plug on the logo

not the only time he pulls plugs

but yk

once more

[minor oracle]

i aint involved in any of this shit since drago is kinda chill but this is just incredibly hilarious

[static finch]

it is

truly

[night prism]

I have no idea who that is

But it's funny anyway

[static finch]

dev on almanac and cryptid I think?

[minor oracle]

this is why you play the long game of making a better addon instead of going and harrasing people

[night prism]

I guessed that from context

[static finch]

and keep stoking the flames

[night prism]

But like, why so much drama lol

[static finch]

mf had a mental breakdown over some pngs

[minor oracle]

entropy would never have all this drama cause im just a chill guy

[static finch]

remember

[night prism]

High priority

[static finch]

you say so

[night prism]

I believe u

[minor oracle]

im a hater at heart but i have to like act chill in public

[static finch]

and i believe you

[night prism]

U have a dog avatar too

[static finch]

oh boy that's edgy

[night prism]

Very chill

[static finch]

you got that dawg in you

(e6 style)

[minor oracle]

i am #1 almanac hater actually maybe #2 cause cass is on a whole other level

[night prism]

Cats are silly, dogs are chill

[static finch]

YOU KNOW WHY THIS MOD EXISTS?

[night prism]

Autism

[static finch]

I am silly just to hide the unending hate I have towards Jen

[static finch]

against jen's

[minor oracle]

like 50% of the reason mayve of why i made entropy was cause i was like "i could probably make a better addon in less time" tbh

[static finch]

real and based

[night prism]

You did

[static finch]

also, I absolutely adore how the only people who got their OCs in the mod all got mod or admin or some shit

[static finch]

truth

[night prism]

Just got the mod today for the fist time

I had no time before

[minor oracle]

reverse spectrals will be so peak you dont even know

[night prism]

But I'm having a blast

[night prism]

They look great

[static finch]

I was about to say

I am waiting on the edge of my seat

[minor oracle]

26 left though 😭

to sprite

[night prism]

As a purple lover I endorse this

[static finch]

also, downpour?

[minor oracle]

but they are all coded now

[static finch]

holy shit scugs

[minor oracle]

isaac reference actually

[static finch]

you know who else-

[minor oracle]

this mod might actually be 99% isaac references

[static finch]

T LOST, DOWNPOUR 2.

[night prism]

Fair

[static finch]

LITTLE BLUB BOSS CARD APPEARS .

[minor oracle]

im gonna have so much fun making reverse tarots for this same reason too

[static finch]

omg I won't need tardis' mod

(it good but super broken)

(as for the technical side I mean)

[minor oracle]

reverse tarots are last mostly because i know itll be super difficult to make them unique and i dont wanna make torats 2.0 which are for the most part really boring to use ingame and i didnt wanna wait 5 years before i got any release out

[static finch]

all valid reasons

I'm planning to make tarots 2.0 anyway

with darkana

(ripped straight from VS)

(in name, anyway)

[night prism]

What's the theme for darkana anyway?

Gameplay wise

[static finch]

rare tarots that do stuff no other inverse tarots do

aka just amping stuff that already exists to the max

and making more references

obv

[night prism]

All this mod is lol

[static finch]

if I do it I do it all the way

[night prism]

Fair

We have a lot of consumables planned

Darkana, augments, now musical cards too

Though I'm not getting a good feal from the last ones

Not really sure what their identity should be

[static finch]

I still think they could fit under darkanas better

so anyway

@night prism

I got this new shiny idea for franchises to blatantly steal characters from

considering I already got futaba in

[night prism]

We having peak discussion in the paperback channel

[static finch]

why not add more people from persona

[night prism]

I guess

[static finch]

you gotta play persona 5

that stuff is PEAK

i cried 2 times, in that and persona 4

and also strikers

all absolute peak

[night prism]

You are far from the first person to tell me

[static finch]

persona 5 royal lemme specify

JUST DO IT

it's less than 20 euros on kinguin

[night prism]

When you play disco elisyum

[static finch]

persona 4 was 5 euros

[static finch]

I have it on the wishlist

second summer sale hits

[night prism]

It's free because you are pirating anyway

[night prism]

Don't buy the game

[static finch]

oh right

I remember that one

[night prism]

Za um suck ass

[static finch]

something something corporate takeover?

[night prism]

Indeed

[static finch]

I forgot what was it

[night prism]

The creators aren't getting a cent from it

[static finch]

damn

whelp

[night prism]

Very fitting honestly

[static finch]

the creators of onehsot got 7 euros outta me only after I cried like a dumbass there too

[night prism]

With the whole message of the game

[static finch]

fatlus also got my money but it was worth it

[static finch]

corporation bad?

[night prism]

And gay sex good

Don't forget that

[static finch]

Bridget joker scheduled too

[night prism]

Jokes aside the message is WAY more nuanced than that

[static finch]

unless you wanna make it

[static finch]

figures

I'll play it, fear not

Easter vacation

[night prism]

Genuinely some of the best political satire ever made

And it's so funny

[static finch]

...tf2

[static finch]

...TF2

[night prism]

Funniest game I've ever played

[static finch]

(not Titanfall)

[static finch]

...TF2

[night prism]

Ew

[static finch]

come the fuck on

Titanfall 2 Is a masterpiece

[night prism]

That's a good one too

[static finch]

but team fortress 2 is just

perfection

[night prism]

Team fortress better though

[static finch]

you did not play Titanfall 2

it's on sale for 3 euros occasionally

[night prism]

No, I have no opinions on it

[static finch]

.

whatcha saying

[night prism]

It was a joke

[static finch]

lads

https://tenor.com/view/the-heavy-is-dead-heavy-heavy-weapons-guy-tf2-meme-gif-8201169175205335785

[night prism]

Because team fortess 2 is better

[static finch]

yes.

now remember

[night prism]

I just know

[static finch]

SPY HAS A GUN

[night prism]

Without playing titanfall

[static finch]

eh, unfortunately respawn just kinda left it there

if they did more with it instead of going with APEX LEGENDS

it could've stood with it

well anyway, brisket joker?

[night prism]

Real

If you have darkside it's trans by default

[static finch]

yes

obviously

but also it should turn things trans

because brisket breaks more eggs than the US economy

[night prism]

More or less than celeste?

That game is powerful

That's how I know I'm not trans, I played it and I'm still cis

If celeste did not trans me then nothing can

[static finch]

uuh

uum

I am still cis yes

definitely

so anyway, I'll sleep soon

cause school

[night prism]

I'll sleep soon cause mental stability

[static finch]

I will just say that if you're railgun and you're reading this, SCROLL UP AND REAAAAD

[static finch]

amateur, I am insane all the time

[night prism]

You sure it's a good idea?

[static finch]

ah yes let her scroll past our conversation directly about her

[night prism]

If you put it like that then, sure

[static finch]

duh

well, gn :3

[night prism]

Not sure how productive that convo was

Anyway gn

[opaque oasis]

somehow im still 3rd here

[dusty river]

good morning
for explanation, my gf and bf have both not messaged me for a bit now and both have previously self-harmed in the past, so that doesn't really feel good 🙃
also, for some more nonsense, yes, the state of the world has been on mind recently, the way people bring it to just trump is honestly sad to me, as the general fascist takeover is happening everywhere and if trump was the only issue things would be fixed much easier, transphobia, transmisogyny, and ablism, are all parts of my life, and cannot be removed, not now, not for the rest of my life probably, we talk fun in games, not just here, but all around the world, about how autism is this fun and happy and silly thing, but irl, people die cuz they have autism, cops view things like fidgeting, poor eye contact, and stuttering as signs of guiltiness, and we all fucking know what a cop does with someone they find guilty, they excecute them as the state fucking applauds them, red and blue alike
also, I still have no clue what your problem with jen's almanac is, and it's worrying as hell, the reason why I wanted to know you're opinions on chrischan and puppychan was because they were 2 people who got "justifiably" bullied and harassed off the internet, and I find you laughing at furries and shit which are all fucking dog whistles, and... I'm so fucking tired, just... so... so... tired
essentially, the problem, is everything, everything, everything, everything

now that that's said, hello and good morning, I'm done coding for today, not like I have a choice since I have no fucking clue what I'm doing lmao

[opaque oasis]

what the fuck

ok

dont mind me

dont

mind

me

[dusty river]

I know, for the 90th time, I probs should not be saying this shit in this channel, my brain is on fire rn

[opaque oasis]

i talked without reading

sorry

[warm warren]

Tbh the main thing from what I understand about Jen is that they’re a known habitual liar so I can’t trust them as any sort of reliable source anymore. When the original art debacle was going on they basically kept saying stuff that was very easily debunked by prior messages and when it was brought up they immediately 180’d and was like “I’ll remove it asap”.

Anybody who does that instead of owning up to it in the first place has their integrity put in on the line, especially when they at that point made over 2 grand in European currency due to donations. I don’t want to trust them with any sort of donation or monetary incentive.

[dusty river]

I wasn't told about that
I tried asking a few times about this stuff, but no one would tell me why lol

[warm warren]

I was there specifically when it happened so I can give you more details if needed.

[dusty river]

sure

[warm warren]

Okay so basically from my understanding of the situation, several of Jen's tarot cards, "torat" cards (which are like spectral versions of Tarot Cards), along with a couple of other elements from Almanac were all taken from previous mods

This has changed since, mind you as well

Let me find the original stuff rq

[minor oracle]

2 grand is crazy i didnt know it was that high

[dusty river]

me neither lol, that's nuts

[minor oracle]

i knew he was making money from it but not 2k

entropy better hit it big

[opaque oasis]

i know some are taken from autumn's mod
-# the sprites

[dusty river]

(nice that it's possible to live off of making balatro mods, even if only a little lol)

[dusty river]

oh no, wasn't that the mod that was litteraly taken down?

[warm warren]

They went on record for ripping sprites from these original mods, and then rolled it back once they were called out on it (They tried to say that they made the sprite sheet talked about in the first image themselves)

First and second in particular

If I was in the server I'd go find and forward the thing but I'm not joining it again just to find that one post

[minor oracle]

im in the server i can find it if you want

[warm warren]

Uhhhh if you want sure

[minor oracle]

do you remember what the text was because i do not so i wont be able to find it

[warm warren]

it should have been like a couple of weeks ago when it was going down

They said they rotated the sprite and changed the color palette

don't remember exactly what they said off rip

[opaque oasis]

i think all this happened when autumn returned to modding ?

[warm warren]

[warm warren]

Yeah uh not very reliable narrator or source on stuff

[dusty river]

well, yeah, I'm starting to get this a bit more, lmao

[minor oracle]

idk why he didnt just tell the truth in the first place it was really obvious to see that everyone was gonna find out

[warm warren]

is the kofi page still up?

[minor oracle]

no he took it down iirc

cause lyman nearly went nuclear

[warm warren]

Oh there was something else too

Chess Cards

that was another point of contention

basically he took the art from someone else and during this whole debaucle asked if anyone could reach out

instead of uh

doing it when he first implemented them

[minor oracle]

the worst thing is like some of these wouldve been really easy to make from scratch without stealing

torats most notably would be really easy to recreate by yourself

i mean entropy already has something really similar that i cooked up myself from the vanilla spritesheet as a placeholder

and i fucking suck at card art

it just seems to me like he wanted to put as little effort in and didnt think anyone would notice

[warm warren]

Not to mention that I really don't fuckin like the fact that everyone kinda uh

threw 95% of this information immediately under the rug

after he went "wah wah I'm sorry"

He may have admitted he did wrong but it took some real severe coercion for him to do so after being presented with the evidence

[minor oracle]

it just seems like he succesfully guilt tripped people back onto his side even though im pretty sure he like directly denied doing that

[warm warren]

and most of the community still immediately had his back like

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

[warm warren]

Yeah i don't fall for that that's narcissistic behavior

[minor oracle]

i mean obviously

[warm warren]

not to mention the whole "boo hoo" pity party over on his own discord about how he's going on break and pinging him will be this whole massive offense

[minor oracle]

no reason to post edgy song lyrics in announcements unless youre an omega cringelord or youre guilt tripping but dont want people to know it

that song is mid anyway

i only listen to real music like anime ops and video game osts

[opaque oasis]

i dont understand why jen takes so many breakes and takes them very seriously

thats all i was going to say

goodbye

[minor oracle]

jen is basically always on break but really hes just secretly doing stuff i swear

i swear its just to make people feel bad

like jen has so much stuff on his plate that he just has to take this many breaks but then like right after theres 1 million more leaks

[warm warren]

Also this happened i guess

people refuse to check their sources on stuff same with AI Generated content

[minor oracle]

this is what happens when you let people submit anything without any consideration of if it actually fits in balatro tbh

i try my best to avoid saying anything mean when its not necessary in situations like this because its irrelevant but to me it just feels like these are the consequences of being lazy

[warm warren]

I'm not trying to be mean even, I'm just stating what I know happened

[dusty river]

I think what he did was bad, but we shouldn't diagnose people with npd the moment they do something bad, lmao

but yeah, he fucked up here, lol

[minor oracle]

i could easily be mean since ive interacted with jen directly before and i dont like him even outside of all of this but i wont since it doesnt matter

[warm warren]

It's the way he went about the apology is all

That's what kind of gets me a bit

There's this whole bit lemme find it rq

because he wanted to CANCEL the mod outright

but people had to talk him off the ledge of "no don't do it Jen"

[minor oracle]

just feels like he went the worst possible and most roundabout route to end up just short of the bare minimum and then everyone clapped and congratulated him because he felt bad or something

i got really pissed when someone in the server said that everyone not screaming and shouting at eachother was really good comparitively and i think i directly told them that you shouldnt reward people for doing the bare minimum just cause other people are even worse

[warm warren]

this shit right here

[minor oracle]

the way it was handled wasnt good it was actually not even the bare minimum i was just being overly nice

[warm warren]

this shit actually makes me cackle I'm sorry

like bro..... you could have gone about this any other way imho but you ask the community to help you fix it instead of fixing it yourself

Shouldn't be someone else's responsiblity or your artists responsibility to fix your fuckup is all I'm gonna say

[minor oracle]

its just sort of like

"now you do all the work for me or your (probable) favourite mod since youre in this server is cancelled forever"

i mean one of the guys who got stolen from literally got mad at the prospect of this happening and said he didnt want it to happen and then it happened

its just that jen didnt directly say what he actually meant so no one noticed for the most part

[dusty river]

I do think this is manipulative behavior, tho I still think calling someone a narcist cuz they did something bad just gives a bad name to people with npd lol

[warm warren]

It's not just the bad thing is the thing about it

[dusty river]

but, yeah, I agree here

[warm warren]

it's the behavior associated, but yeah I can see your point

[minor oracle]

either way he could have handled it a lot better and chose not to on purpose because it wouldve been more effort

[warm warren]

That I can also agree on

[minor oracle]

this is part of the reason i started making entropy though cause this shit really pissed me off and then i got ultra mad when i saw youtubers praising kosmos as balatros true ending after all of the drama happened and decided to continue working on entropy out of spite after i quit

play whatever you want ig but it just feels like everyone is gonna love almanac no matter what happens especially when youtubers dont care about what happens

[warm warren]

I still want to make Stub Sheet I just need motivation and organization

[minor oracle]

i just wanted to make something that i and hopefully other people saw as better to hopefully make a marginal difference also because i love attention

[urban sluice]

Yeah...
Even if I am starting to be shaky in terms of Jen in terms of behaviour (from the reports I am hearing here), the furry hate (or at least mocking) sounds... Off (an understatement).

[night prism]

I don’t think i’ve actually encountered any furry hate towards jen personally. I’m sure milo means it as a joke since they are a furry too

But it’s true that furry hate is a very common dogwhistle

[dusty river]

I know that they said "not all furries, just the edgy oc furries" but it still feels bad, idk
my brain feels bad rn and I think I might be dissociating a bit

[minor oracle]

theres not really a point of actually specifying furries specifically here which is why it feels odd and is also a common thing people do to get you to not care even when you should

if you really only cared about edgy ocs (meaningless anyway) you would just say that instead of tacking on something extra

its like that gay people i respect meme but unironic and for furries instead

[night prism]

Also there’s a lot to unpack in you comment, i’m not answering now because it’s 2 am here lol

[dusty river]

I know lol, sorry for waking u with my madness lol

[night prism]

I guess it’s a bit odd yeah

[dusty river]

it kinda gives vibes, when translated into possible dogwhistle terms, like, "I don't think all gays are bad, but the 'weird gays' are bad, don't worry, I'm a good one!"

idk

my brain is at less than half power rn lmao

[night prism]

It’s bit weird, but they really seam alright otherwise, so i’m being charitable

Then, i don’t know them personally, so idk

[dusty river]

I know, I'm probably just overinterpreting a joke that may have been in slightly poor taste, or something

[night prism]

This stuff makes me insecure sometimes

I always, since when i was a kid, was kinda scared of people misinterpreting what i meant

[dusty river]

I am the same in that way

[night prism]

Words have different weights to different people

[dusty river]

it doesn't help that I've had a past filled with people misinterpreting me in ways that destroyed relationships

[night prism]

What’s a joke to some can be very serious to others

I feel that when joking about gay or trans people, since i’m cis and straight i feel what’s just a joke to me may be very important to others, maybe cause of distress or insecurities, so i try to limit myself

Maybe it’s just me overanalizing though

Or rather overthinking

I hope i don’t come off as rude or insensitive

[dusty river]

I honestly think that, self inspection is a good sign of being a good person, the stress of stuff like this comes from when our brains get obsessed on being 100% good 100% of the time

[night prism]

People just kinda, make mistakes sometimes, we in general should be a bit more considerate about that imo

[dusty river]

yeah, I wish the world was less "You made a mistake, so now you need punishment" and more like "You made a mistake, so now you need to be taught"

[night prism]

Always trying to be prefect is stressful sometimes

[night prism]

Agreed

Also punishment just does not work in general

So i’m against that just for the sake of it

[urban sluice]

Another thing, related to almanac before the topic change and another reason why I was going to talk here

||In light of recent events involving Jen, I am starting to feel uncertain with my mod, because of how visually some of the stuff in my mod is from Almanac. As in I have plenty (around 8) of Jokers as OCs or characters and for them, their descriptions are styled as such (such as this image). Otherwise, it's pretty much built around Cryptid, complete with modest gamesets. The only real gameplay stuff that's more in line with almanac are Epic/Legendary blinds (that will be turned off by default in Cryptid and are still slightly more lenient than in Almanac unless thats installed) and Fusions (that requires Almanac). However, I just cannot help but feel uncertain after on if its best for me to continue after hearing from others about Jen's behaviour, (I intended to continue to create fusion art for the remaining OCs/characters at a slower pace due to IRL stuff), stop continuing on that path or even trying to "de-alamanc-ing" my mod (Moonlight Cookie --> Caelestia?)||

[dusty river]

well, I mean, the problems with almanac were all about jen's behavior, not the way his mod was structured or anything like that, right?
you could probably make a form of fusion consumable yourself or make them part of a mod compat with another fusion mod of some sort
it's fine to have ocs imo and hell, even direct characters from franchises and stuff, I mean, we have like, 8 undertale/ultrakill characters in our mod rn and it doesn't even have art yet, lol

[night prism]

Yeah, i agree with her, you should not really worry about Jen’s behaviour, you are a different person after all

I did not know all this stuff about him before tbh

This is way worse than i thought lol

[urban sluice]

#1353027212772769792 message That is true
Still the feeling cannot be denied, kind of like when something you like turns out to have a checkered (as in a "checkered past" saying but current) creator (at best)

[night prism]

I listen to black metal, i can relate to this feeling lol

Happened so many times lol

If you know what i mean

[dusty river]

I'm a trans girl who watched steins gate 😭 I loved it and it sucked lmao
(insane transphobia)

[urban sluice]

Yup, similar stories can be found in many other fandoms or communities

[night prism]

This is a pretty common occurrence yeah

[dusty river]

there's one musician that I liked for a bit that I can't even bring myself to name lmao

[night prism]

The main singer of one of my favorite bands turned out to be a neonazi

At least the other members seem to have disowned him

But yeah, it sucks

Anyway, I’m gonna sleep now

Gn chat

[dusty river]

gn gulag, have a good rest

[dusty river]

I can't wait till we can make rubber compat with joker destruction from other jokers, cuz I just thought of the craziest synergy lol

imagine that shit with egg+sacrificial dagger

egg would get destroyed each blind and just, come back

[static finch]

...when did you ever speak about Chris Chan and puppycan?

also, my opinion of jen's is literally just a joke, and I find the recent drama completely unnecessary and stupid funny, but nothing else other than that

also I remind you that the only reason I'm modding balatro is because of jen's in the first place

all I think is that the mod is just boring op and not convoluted and fun op

that's all

the rest was just meming

also, it may have been a generalization on my part, but yes, trump is not the only problem, though it's the closest to you and as such you probably know it better than I dunno, AFD in Germany or something

history always repeats itself as people choose to forget or are too lazy to actually do something about it

[static finch]

by the way, about those 2, I obviously think even if they were "disturbed" according to 99.9% of people they should have gotten help instead of getting relentlessly bullied and put on a pedestal for it, obviously

but the internet incites a group mentality in most kinds of people

and may it be for a "higher purpose" or because it's "cool" to do something they will "join a cause" and just gang up on other people

the time period didn't help, certainly

but what's done is done and unfortunately nobody can rewind the clock

(I just couldn't resist)

[urban sluice]

Better late than never
I guess

[static finch]

ay I was sleeping

I can't talk at 4am with school looming over my head like Damocles' sword

[dusty river]

good morning

[night prism]

Good morning.
Honestly, I really feel you right now. While you are influenced by all this way more than me, and I wont pretend I know how you feel because I simply can't, I'm still part of this world just like you, and seeing how things are going deeply worries me too.
But we are young and it's easy at this stage in life to feel like there's no hope and everything is going to shit, it's not an easy feeling to combat, and I'm definitely not qualified to do so.
But I also can't stop looking around me and seeing that despite everything we still live in a better and more tolerant world that we did a century ago, and even the most powerful people in the world can't undo all of this, we know it because they have been trying this since forever and always failed. And all of this is because people always stood up and fought for their rights and what they believed in, and we as a collective are way more powerful that anyone could imagine.
This does not mean that hardship will not come, nor that many of us will not suffer because of it, but I just want to say that this is not the end and not all hope is lost, like it wasn't in the past because in the end, no matter how hard the fight, progress always wins.

I'm sorry for only answering now but it was late at night and my brain was not working right

And I hope what I said here comes as a comfort, i'm not good with words but i really believe in what i typed here

And i want to emphasize that these are not just empty words and no matter how cliche some of the things i typed may be they still mean a lot to me

[dusty river]

thank u, that actually was helpful, thank you

also, gf responded this morning, so that area of my panic has also been quelled... at least, like, 60% of it, lol

i think I'm mentally sound enough to make gaster today
yaay

[dusty river]

ok, now that I'm somewhat sane today, lmao
wouldn't this way of doing the effect work against the Immutableness idea for gaster?

cuz having it be in a config, would let value changing effects mess with it, no?

[night prism]

just add immutable = true

this way the vals in config can't be changed

[dusty river]

ahh ok

[static finch]

ay

would've texted before but

2 hour Italian literature quiz

for my pleasure

[dusty river]

lmao

[static finch]

I suppose you didn't read my rhetoric as fervently as gulag's

[dusty river]

no no no, the new vegas posting was very good for my mental health (lmao)
||actually, for real, I think that may have kicked my brain outta panic mode a bit lol||

[static finch]

I dunno getting shot in the head doesn't sound comfortable to me but hey

Benny did one good thing for once

[dusty river]

I mean, to be fair, the courier did live

[static finch]

yes It was unexpected

and definitely not his intention

so uh

isn't it even worse

he just committed something pretty vile and sucked at doing it too

[dusty river]

lmao

[static finch]

actually, Benny joker should exist

[dusty river]

does this work? did I get the idea right?

[static finch]

makes blinds harder for a while but rewards you if you still win

[dusty river]

benny, shoots you in the head if you die

[static finch]

real

[dusty river]

funny bang sound effect lmao

[static finch]

but you stil live

[static finch]

BANG

absolute banger starts playing

[dusty river]

only if you also have the doc joker

[static finch]

Mitchell is based

but I will still get everything on his shelves

[night prism]

it should

i never tried something similar though

[dusty river]

I fucked something up here lmao

@night prism any idea what might be causing this crash u thinks?

maybe we messed up when coding the planar pools?

[night prism]

show me the gaster code

this should have nothing to do with the pools

[dusty river]

this should be all of it

[dusty river]

I only thought it might cuz it mentioned a pool with a nil value in the debug lol

[night prism]

yeah, i'm pretty sure that's another pool

let me check one thing

[night prism]

try changing the rarity

to something normal

i think that's the issue

[dusty river]

ok, yup, messed up the rarity somehow lmao

wait

I'm dumb

it should be "anva_gast_err" right?

[night prism]

yes

[dusty river]

ok, now time to test this lmao

[static finch]

CLEVER

[dusty river]

ok, joker slots, consumable slots, and hand size all work, now time to check what else I needed

shop slots is my next step here

what's the right way of getting shop slots done? is it like joker slots or more similar to the hand size?

I know one of my mods added a joker which added a shop slot, but I can't remember which mod it was lol

[night prism]

change_shop_size()

[static finch]

ay random news

10 in italian

for some reason

guess doing nothing always pays off

[night prism]

lol

[static finch]

i idd practically nothing

[night prism]

real

[static finch]

:3

[dusty river]

OH 10 is a grade lmao, I was so confused for a sec

[static finch]

what else could it be

we don't have weird letters like you

[night prism]

yes
