[shell falcon]

hello

[long maple]

looks at all the wires all over house 😄

[boreal vine]

my room is a server room almost lol

[silk hare]

Does valorant work for anyone

[neat jungle]

Yea well can't really hide an 100 voot wire traveling across a majority of the house

[long maple]

yeah I am trying I just ran cables up the stairs. along the handrail

[raw quail]

Just get a cable that matches the wall and some cable nails

[long maple]

got to buy another ethernet cable for sons PC once that is completed. so will have 3 cables going upstairs

[neat jungle]

Yea ain't no one doing that

Yea definitely not

[shell falcon]

got to buy 2x Ethernet cables for my brother

[raw quail]

Rodney, not everyone lives in hollow wooden houses like in the US

[limber carbon]

You need to change your router settings as the NAT should always be open

[neat jungle]

No I do...we just dint be having money like that

To just start ripping open walls and putting wm back

[long maple]

I got too many cables everywhere. need to do some management but no matter how careful I am they always tangle up after swhile

[raw quail]

You can probably hide them in wall panels

Ok that's not what they are called

[long maple]

I am the only one downstairs usually

[shell falcon]

I'm going to play CoD warzone, take care , bbl

[raw quail]

Hope you win!

[long maple]

we all have our own hobbies.. Wife likes to watch other things than me.. and has been crocheting a lot lately

[raw quail]

She could be crocheting next to you while you game

[jovial blaze]

Yo I'm looking for recruits for my leader of the esports team that I'm on

We do cod, fortnite,R6, CSGO etc

Dm if interested

[boreal vine]

i haven't played cod since black ops and mw 3 was so wild to play lol

[long maple]

nah she prefers upstairs. with her own Xbox and TV 😄

she made an awesome looking dragon couple months ago

[raw quail]

Nice

[proven jacinth]

Hi kit

[raw quail]

Hi Mango

[vocal gorge]

I'm glad I switched ISPs when I did. Contract was up with the old provider so I was free to do as I please (renew or go elsewhere) though I thought it might have been difficult to get with the provider I'm now with (EE) but it wasn't

[long maple]

oh yeah my contract is nearly up. thanks for reminder

[velvet turret]

My doggy

[long maple]

no way am I paying over £60 again when I was out of contract last time

[velvet turret]

Att fiber is great if you can get it uwu

[long maple]

I get like 50up and 18down. its £35 at the moment

mbps

[vocal gorge]

I'm paying £64.99 per month for 1.6Gbps with prices only set to increase £3 per year after April. None of that rate of inflation + 3.wahtever% spike

[long maple]

100GB takes me like 8-9hours

[idle spear]

hoping we can get full fibre when my contract is over next

[tidal topaz]

That was the best thing that OFCOM ever did

[long maple]

I got most the games installed anyway so not fussed. thats why I have 265 games installed at the moment.. and most the GP games I install are small anyway

[velvet turret]

i pay 85 a month for 300mbps down and 30 up 😭

[idle spear]

I would be happy paying for 1gb but open reach is so slow here to upgrade the cabling

[long maple]

yeah taking forever

[vocal gorge]

had I stayed with Virgin Media I would have still been subject to the old way. I don't think they are changing to the £3 increase, which would be going against OFCOM. They've already been voted the worst for customer service this year as it was do they really need to dig themselves a deeper grave? lol

[sterile sequoia]

we pay around 50-60ish for 1 gbps upload and download

[limpid flicker]

I don't disagree that Virgin Media can be bad, but my dad is on them and I envy his speeds soooooooo much.

[velvet turret]

Why is spectrum internet so bad

[vocal gorge]

I wish my connection was symmetrical speeds as 1.6Gbps up and down would have been crazy but I get 1620 Mbps down and 115 Mbps up. Maybe some day the UK ISPs will do it. Very few actually do symmetrical speeds and I'm pretty sure those that do are only available in the cities

[velvet turret]

Also previously known as bright house

[long maple]

oh Bright House I remember that place, got my TV from there a long long time ago

[limpid flicker]

I can only get DSL. 😦
My dad gets 400Mbps down...

[long maple]

yeah I check every now and again.

[limpid flicker]

Not sure those are the same company though. I know the one you mean... aren't they are bit... predatory, scammy?

[tidal topaz]

I know that EE took a lot of customers from Virgin because of Virgin's issues

[long maple]

yeah alittle. also bought my PC from there. Q6600 processor, dont remember muchelse

[vocal gorge]

Bright House... that name gives me nightmares 😦 My mum got suckered into getting a lot of stuff from them over the years and if not for the help of me and a financial adviser one year seeing just how much she was shelling out on this stuff she'd be in so much trouble. Glad to see Bright House is gone now. Helpful? sure but evil with the APR was like 99.8% or something iirc

[limpid flicker]

My dad is the kind of boomer to have the full TV package, IDK if there are many options for that other than Sky and Virgin.

[vocal gorge]

you can count me as one of those that switched 🙂

[long maple]

hm I dont get the openreach date anymore. last time showed 2026

[vocal gorge]

still waiting on full fibre in your area?

[long maple]

yep

[velvet turret]

No they just rebranded they still exist

[shut holly]

hey guys where can i report somebody in the xbox server?

[long maple]

saw some Fibreheroes vans around here maybe last year. in the next street over.. but they were putting wires across telephone poles. most likely to save on drilling everywhere.

[vocal gorge]

I check a website called ISPReview as it has news about the ISPs around the UK and often has updates from EE/BT around area rollouts of full fibre

[velvet turret]

WAIT 99.8% APR

How is that like not iliegal

[summer magnet]

@hollow ether knock it off

[long maple]

what made me laugh is, not long after I moved out. my old place gets Fibre.

[summer magnet]

well that saves some time

[vocal gorge]

yeah, it was something ridiculous like that iirc. You get a new TV for £800 and you are effectively paying back nearly £1600. Would never return to something like that again, once I was more financially aware of what was going on I helped my mum pay things off much sooner just so she could get rid of them

[gray latch]

awww 😄

[proven jacinth]

Hi evan

[velvet turret]

They are total scumbags

[tidal topaz]

EE were starting when I left

[velvet turret]

Morning uwu

[proven jacinth]

Morning man

[stray beacon]

It's already been 4 months since I've turned 20 😭

[limpid flicker]

Would you be offended if I called you a summer child? /j

[tidal topaz]

I hope I sold it to you cause that was £25 for me 😂

[limpid flicker]

It's not as unusual as you want it to be for APR to be in the hundreds. For a payday loan, sometimes the thousands. 😭

Debt is dangerous.

[velvet turret]

WHAT

[limpid flicker]

Incredibly predatory, isn't it?

[proven jacinth]

Preach

[velvet turret]

What’s like an actual good apr to get for a loan so I don’t get scammed

[stray beacon]

I just learned that combo capture card/audio interfaces exist and I want one now, I hate having to sync up my mic audio separately

[proven jacinth]

idk too much about it, but based on that payday loan I'd assume you'd want a low APR

[velvet turret]

You can do that in obs and record 2 steams at once

[limpid flicker]

A credit card will have an APR well under 20% and some bank loans can go even lower.

[vocal gorge]

as low as possible but I believe that increases the difficulty in actually being approved for it as the lower APR rates tend to only be for those with good credit standing etc

[velvet turret]

💀 and they are just out here giving 1250% loans

[limpid flicker]

In fact I would say that for a bank loan which was properly planned, you don't have to pay more than 10% APR if you have an actual credit history that isn't a mess.

[velvet turret]

How DO you get credit history

[kind heron]

Having loans and credit cards

[flat spade]

Good Afternoon

[proven jacinth]

Paying off your card and general credit stuff

[velvet turret]

So to get a loan and creddit card I need creddit history and to get creddit history I need loaned and creddit cards

[limpid flicker]

Have a credit card, pay it off regularly.

[vocal gorge]

direct debits for stuff like mobile, broadband and TV services is said to help too as having that set up and being regularly paid shows you can keep to an agreement and that may show some favour with lenders etc but miss payments and it can quickly go against you

[kind heron]

Not necessarily, some credit cards and loans you can get without having any real credit history. Just don’t expect them to have the best terms. And yeah, like some have said, having a good bill payment history outside of loans and credit cards can impact your credit score.

[limpid flicker]

I wonder if my uhhhh... probably ten years or more of being sensible have made up for the prior years of being stupid with money yet.

[velvet turret]

I did hear that after a bit it falls off the credit history

[limpid flicker]

I had a bad overdraft habit for a long time. 💀

[twilit bison]

Dm me if your interested of joining a group

[sterile sequoia]

seems sketchy nty

[limpid flicker]

It's like... you get to the point where any money coming in just takes the overdraft from "maxed" to "not maxed" and then before your next payday you'll likely have to max it again.

But for ten plus years I've avoided that, thankfully.

[twilit bison]

Yes

[kind heron]

If you’re looking for fellas to play with, there’s #1094715375884697600 . But then again advertising clans and crews and whatnot isn’t really done here

[limpid flicker]

Look at me, I actually have... savings. OMG.

[long maple]

I keep trying to put some money by for a rainy day. but we filled up on food.

[limpid flicker]

I don't think the amount I have it would matter if I did. I have modest emergency money.

[vocal gorge]

I made sure not to have an overdraft attached to my bank account. Means I always have to have money in my account but for the past 5 years that's been a non issue though some changes may be afoot with that annoying universal credit coming in. My mum already got the dreaded switch over letter and it may not be long before me and my brother get it too. I'm genuinely worried about how it is going to go 😦

[long maple]

watching Sorted Food on youtube always makes me hungry

[velvet turret]

That’s super good! The average index fund gives 7% per year profit

[lilac sandal]

Hey guys, is rtx 2050 good for games realesed until 2020 ?

[fiery python]

Sure, it should be decent enough

[velvet turret]

I would really recamend going for a 5600 or a 6600 if you can

[fiery python]

As long as it's not bottlenecked by other hardware

[velvet turret]

Should be about the same price used

[fiery python]

Just don't expect to be running things maxed out and at 4K

[velvet turret]

For context a 6600 can run most games 1080p ultra

[sterile sequoia]

2050 should be a good card for 1080p medium to high settings

going to buy the 2050 used?

[lilac sandal]

I am not a computer guy. But i would like to play games like without any bugs, like 60 or more fps and no need to max out just to be normal graphics and good loking

[sterile sequoia]

what are your current specs?

[lilac sandal]

Idk. Current laptop cant run games after 2005

[fiery python]

Giving a year doesn't really help either for what games you want to play.

There's games with a wide range of system requirements within a single year.

[halcyon stratus]

Universal credit?

[velvet turret]

I just got reminded of the berries and cream commercial

[lilac sandal]

I would play gta 4 and maybe gta 5, cod games from ghosts to 2019 mw. And some hello neighbour games :/

[sterile sequoia]

isnt gta4 a buggy mess on pc?

[velvet turret]

A 2050 can totally do that but I’d still recamend an rx 6600 for pure fps per dolar

[boreal vine]

yes, it still has troubles even on modern pcs

[sterile sequoia]

what are the specs youre going to pair with the gpu?

[sterile sequoia]

yeah, ive seen 4090s struggle with it on benchmark videos

[lilac sandal]

I dont understand. I want to buy a new laptop

[sterile sequoia]

ah you didnt mention that you wanted a laptop

i assumed you wanted to build a desktop

[lilac sandal]

I can show what laptop i want to buy

[tired hare]

just buy a Series X

[velvet turret]

A 2050 laptop will be ALOT worse than a 2050 desktop

[sterile sequoia]

pc/laptops and consoles are totally diffrent things

[cinder veldt]

That would be if it existed

[tired hare]

depends on the requirements, if they just want to play CoD, GTA and Hello Neighbour, a console is the cheapest option

[cinder veldt]

Tbh it's one of those games where time appropriate good hardware will perform better. But ofc not flawless due to bugs

[sterile sequoia]

he mentioned he wanted a laptop not a console

[velvet turret]

Louis is that furry pfp

[tired hare]

oh ok

[tired hare]

it's Inosuke from Demon Slayer lmao

[velvet turret]

O

[tired hare]

I'm a furry tho so chill

[sterile sequoia]

some rockstar games are weird with high end systems, gtav also is wierd with a too high framerate

[tired hare]

just don't display it publicly because my irl friends have me added

[velvet turret]

I know so I asked lmao

[cinder veldt]

Yeah but it's not as major as it's quite a high frame rate needed

[velvet turret]

Do you have a sona at all?

[sterile sequoia]

true true

[tired hare]

no but if I had it would be a bunny because bunnies are cute

[lilac sandal]

LENOVO Gaming 3 15ACH6 R5/8/512 82K2027BRM

This is the name of the laptop.

[sterile sequoia]

luckly you can cap fps on all games either with in game settings or nvidia controll panel

[lilac sandal]

On current laptop i only play gta vice city and gta san andreas

[velvet turret]

Buni

[tired hare]

I think for gaming laptops if you want to run high requirement games at 1080p60fps you need to spend like $2000+

[sterile sequoia]

not really

[lunar tartan]

Kylie and I got breakfast out this morning. It’s been a great morning so far

[tired hare]

idk PC gaming is such a hellhole to get into, specially graphics cards

[lilac sandal]

This laptop i want to buy is 765 dollars

[sterile sequoia]

great to hear!

[velvet turret]

I spent 1500 and I get 60fps cyberpunk medium 1080p and 30fps with rtx

[sterile sequoia]

yeah gpu pricing can be a mess sometimes

[tired hare]

60fps on medium AND YOU SPENT 1.5K?????

[velvet turret]

That’s with it capped to the lows though

It gets higher in some areas but I capped it for it to be smooth

[molten frigate]

my cousin got me the gamesir G7E controller for my birthday

[tired hare]

dude I can get 60fps on high on my PS5 that costed less than half

[sterile sequoia]

cyberpunk is a really demanding game

[lunar tartan]

We went to ihop for unlimited pancakes and both ended up getting full meals instead 😂

[velvet turret]

I get 72fps on rdr2 with very few dips

[molten frigate]

60 fps on cyberpunk is great

[velvet turret]

Most of the laptop was spent for the 8core 16 thread r9 cpu though

[tired hare]

heck even the steam deck can achieve 60fps on cyberpunk

[velvet turret]

No it can’t

[sterile sequoia]

oooh tastyy 😄

[halcyon stratus]

Consoles are cheaper than laptops or computers that perform the same, yes. By design.

[tired hare]

wait no you're right, it's 40fps

[velvet turret]

It’s 30 fps uwu

[molten frigate]

well they actually sell stuff like steamdeck and consoles at a loss and earn it back tjrough subscription

[tired hare]

40, my dad works at valve

[velvet turret]

[boreal vine]

console ports are generally better than pc ports though

[halcyon stratus]

Cyberpunk was written by valve?

[velvet turret]

I have a steamdeck that runs the game on the default preset at 30fps with dips in only one area

[lunar panther]

Lol I have 3080 TI, i9 13900K, 64 gb of ram. Monitor is 3440x1440 and I can't play most modern games on ultra and many can't even do high and hit my target framerate

[velvet turret]

It dose not get anywhere near 40fps consistent

[sterile sequoia]

cyberpunk on ps5 is around med to high settings as pc Equivalent

[lilac sandal]

So is that laptop good for 765 usd ?

[tired hare]

still, 60 fps for less than half the price

idk dude, if building a PC was less confusing and expensive, I'd get into it

[sterile sequoia]

gaming is expensive

[halcyon stratus]

Of course we also all know that just comparing straight fps is meaningless

[tired hare]

otherwise I'd rather spend money on owning the 3 major consoles, which I already do

[velvet turret]

Consoles are sold at a loss and the laptop has a screen keyboard and battery

[sterile sequoia]

and 30 fps for a story game is totally fine

[velvet turret]

It’s a 144hz 1080p screen with incredible viewing angles for my laptop

[halcyon stratus]

Graphic fidelity, shadows lighting antialiasing ground clutter view distance texture detail etc all can be different

[tired hare]

such a bold opinion

[loud nexus]

Yall

[velvet turret]

I like 30fps on every game

[cinder veldt]

PC is a difficult area yep

[boreal vine]

i honestly wouldn't be able to game if game pass or ps plus didn't exist, i just don't have the money to purchase games

[halcyon stratus]

Movies were 24 for decades and no one complained lmao, 30 is perfectly fine for most games

[tired hare]

tbh I hate the gaming-pilled opinion of "everything must be at 60+ fps otherwise it's garbage"

[sterile sequoia]

specially in story games it doesnt matter

[sterile sequoia]

you where complaining few minutes earlier abt the exact same reason?

[tired hare]

I was being goofy

[lunar panther]

I'll take a steady 30fps over a choppy 60fps

[sterile sequoia]

we cant see your that through our screens

[woven verge]

Lol thats because input response time and choppiness isnt a thing in movies

Completely different

[mellow roost]

One of, if not the oldest customer complaint was etched into a clay (or stone?) tablet, and it was about the poor quality of the copper they were sold.

I want historical events in the same vein as this to be a movie.

[woven verge]

30 is fine but 60 is definitely better in virtually all scenarios its not really a gamer pilled thing its literally better

120 and above stuff you can argue is usually unnecessary tho sure

[sterile sequoia]

i prefer a higher framerate in fps multiplayer games the rest doesnt really matter to me aslong if it is stable

[mellow roost]

"Ea-Nasir, you sold me bad copper! We will fight to the death and somehow become best friends at the end of the movie!"

[tired hare]

we're all a little goofy

[kind heron]

Left out the best part about how there were a ton of them, and they were kept by the merchant in a special room in his house. Fella was a proud scumbag 😂

Fella did the Bronze Age version of printing out bad yelp reviews and having them framed

[mellow roost]

😆

[lunar tartan]

It was funny when we went to the store earlier we bought ketchup chips and all the ingredients for poutine. Kylie was like the cashiers gonna think we are Canadian 😂

[limpid flicker]

Imagine the scandal. Good job you nipped that one in the bud! 😛

[halcyon stratus]

Most people’s response time does not result in a measurable improvement in scores when the framerate goes from 30 to 60

[lunar tartan]

We bought some ice cream and Arizonas to balance it out 😛

[sterile sequoia]

dont make me hungry now i want ice cream

[halcyon stratus]

I hope you clearly announced “as an American I would like to purchase these items with my American money thank you”

[lunar tartan]

We just self checked out lol

[lunar panther]

And then an eagle swoops in and drops the cash on the counter

[lunar tartan]

lol

[woven verge]

This is said a lot but is objectively untrue in testing, it will literally always be smoother/faster because theres so many more extra frames

You can argue that small improvements on avg probably doesnt matter but the difference definitely exists

[mellow roost]

We got a bag of these a few days ago and BREH.

[woven verge]

Plus it makes a bigger difference over time when someone adjusts to literally having more frames to react to

[mellow roost]

I wish they were bigger. It's so good. It's like grape Laffy Taffy.

[dark sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-peas-justdancingfruit-justdancingfruit-dancing-peas-tell-em-gif-10221680940534470840

[tired hare]

so free photoshop?

[velvet turret]

yes but the free version has ads

[lunar panther]

better than GIMP or Paint.NET?

[velvet turret]

the ui is better imo

[tired hare]

imagine having to watch a 30 second mobile game ad to save your work

[halcyon stratus]

Instead of ads gimp just has pain

[velvet turret]

its just ads on the side

[tired hare]

my idea is better imma email them

[halcyon stratus]

A lot, almost all. Of the iPhone “turn your photo in to art” apps do that

[velvet turret]

this is the ui

[tired hare]

that's just photoshop

[velvet turret]

https://www.photopea.com/ no its photopea

[woven verge]

I like gimp

[tired hare]

more like photopee

[velvet turret]

badum chh

[woven verge]

I see a lot of ppl dont like it though so maybe im just a noob lol

[halcyon stratus]

Gimp is so bad lmao. It is classic open source cope

[woven verge]

You just use photoshop now or you have a better free one I could try?

[velvet turret]

blender is the best example of open source done right
it even has a video editor 😉

[tired hare]

the sad reality of free open source software vs paid close source software

[woven verge]

Blender is god tier

[limpid flicker]

It's also like... can we NOT with that name? This complaint isn't against Tacti, it's against the folks who named the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

[halcyon stratus]

“Just use gimp and r and vim and you basically have the full windows photoshop and office experience! But free!”

[velvet turret]

open office isnt THAT bad

[tired hare]

I HATE OPEN OFFICE

[limpid flicker]

Lets be fair, though Libre Office is actually OK, Vim is hateful.

[tired hare]

I'd rather just use Google docs

[woven verge]

What do you use now tacticat? Im open to trying new ones

[halcyon stratus]

Libre office definitely has made great strides

I use photoshop

[velvet turret]

nano is peak oss

[static jacinth]

That's his profile picture 💀

[halcyon stratus]

Yea I don’t remember what the difference between pico and nano is but I also type pico first just because that’s what I learned on years ago

[sterile sequoia]

sounded a bit rude dont you think?

[woven verge]

Its an in joke meme but does come off poorly lol

[static jacinth]

No? The charcters name is boy Kisser

[limpid flicker]

Not enough to care about, if I'm being real.

[lunar panther]

Let's dial back the convo

[velvet turret]

i didnt find it rude imo :3

[static jacinth]

?

Bro the characters name is Boy Kisser 💀

[boreal vine]

help i can't stop playing the same few games on a rotation

i need to check out new games

[halcyon stratus]

We better take deeks advice be fore one of the emacs people shows up

[kindred kestrel]

Good morning everyone and of course other times of day for those located further away. I just won an Xbox series s from Dave and busters and I’m downloading some fun looking games to it (been more of a ps fan for years so getting a chance to try Xbox exclusives will be fun)

[velvet turret]

i mean mine isnt boykisser its just the same artist that made the base i paid for :3

[halcyon stratus]

Holy cow that’s awesome congrats

[static jacinth]

Oh looks like boy kisser

[velvet turret]

because its the same artist

[woven verge]

whattttt thats crazy congrats man!

[static jacinth]

Skibidi

[velvet turret]

alright ima head out

[tired hare]

I'll make the sequel to boy kisser called xbox kisser

[static jacinth]

Crazy 😜

[lunar panther]

@sterile sequoia , obviously we see your intentions and they were good intentions ❤️ , but yes, "boy kisser" is a character, and is not meant to be harmful
@static jacinth you can literally just.. politely inform Bever of the error rather than doing so in a manner which comes off belittling. 🙂

[tough relic]

I think GTA 6 should release in 2028 during the LA Olympics

[static jacinth]

I didn't belittle anyone

[lunar panther]

your "lol"s, "?"s, and " 💀 "s were not helping

it came off like that, is what Deek said

I last played a halo game back on 360 it was halo 3 and I beat its campaign and I played its multiplayer in a few esport competitions (never won but got 2nd place once) so I’m tempted to try halo infinite I hear the story is a soft reboot. Prob won’t do near as good in multiplayer as I did as a young person as I did running of the bulls and had my hand smashed and it’s never been the same

[velvet turret]

np

[tired hare]

Infinite is really good

[boreal vine]

i've never played any halo games

[brazen compass]

guys i need info abt the elite series 2 and the elite series 2 CORE dm me if yk the differences bc im getting

[static jacinth]

Infinite is mid at best

[lunar tartan]

Don’t tell icky that

[tired hare]

the gameplay alone is so good, maybe the story is not the best

[gray latch]

lots of ppl really like Infinite

[static jacinth]

Reach is best 🤪

[mellow roost]

Thought you said "ranch."

[kind heron]

It’s not much of a reboot. Just kinda jumpstarts a different story rather than follow the threads of 5’s story. The MP is also really good. If you’re looking for some people to play it with, my friends and I play it a good bit on Fridays

Pizza dipped in ranch is the zenith of culinary ability! /j

The boss fights are some of laziest I've seen

Just bullet sponges

People are entitled to their options, but as long as they don’t try to convince you yours are invalid, we can agree to disagree.

[river fulcrum]

Has Halo ever been known for complex boss fights?

[granite verge]

Halo 2

But even then, not really complex

[static jacinth]

No, but their implementation of it in infinite is weak sauce

[tired hare]

weak sauce, like ranch

[quasi echo]

._. ranch is good

[tardy skiff]

I love it 🩵

[river fulcrum]

I don’t think of complex fights when I think of Halo, you just need to avoid and outplay the boss.

Dude is full on the ranch hate train 💀

Didn’t like it when it came out, still don’t like it now. The beta was pretty good though, maybe the game would’ve been better if they didn’t make changes from that. 🤷

[static jacinth]

You can Google it 😭

[woven verge]

You can try to get them to use a discord chat and see if you get the same issue, if you dont then its just a bug/gamebar thing and if it does the same thing it could be an audio routing issue

[vital lion]

it works on discord, how do i fix it on xbox

[lunar panther]

You're right, I can

[static jacinth]

😂

[lunar panther]

(that was another me of saying "I won't because I don't actually care that much and I was just making small talk")

[vocal gorge]

just had maybe the best game of XDefiant I'll ever play. Before this game my best was 34 kills in one TDM game but this will definitely take some beating. I bet the opposition team reported me for cheating too

[woven verge]

Sounds like its probably an audio routing issue then, either a conflict for the input or something along those lines, do you use an audio routing software or another voice chat app at the same time?

Although toast and jam isn't as bad as western sandwiches 😭

Damn i asked for spicy salsa in my Chipotle. It buurns

You can start with the free Unreal license, making a game on PC, no need for a super powerful PC until you have a much more developed stage. Once you have some prototypes to show, that's when you start aiming for funding to get the rest.

[woven verge]

Yup

[half hazel]

I mean... in a literal sense the keyboard keys are buttons and you press them so.....

Y'all remember the era of the world when Twilight was just coming out? 🤔

[woven verge]

If you want to get an idea of what working with unreal will be like in general I recommend working with fortnites UEFN

You mean I need funding for my 100 player mmo with 500 pages of lore????

You know what I’m curious how Deek pronounces poutine

[cerulean basin]

This IS a good idea

[half hazel]

Godot is a good starter engine
Coulr help with improving your coding discipline

[vast ermine]

was myspace a thing in said era?

[limpid flicker]

The thermometer on the wall says 86.5 and I am losing the will to live.

[lunar tartan]

I used to be obsessed with twilight

[half hazel]

I played around with godot
While it's not robust as UE it's a free and open source engine. Very nice engine

[cerulean basin]

Honestly, getting started with Roblox or UE for Fortnite is a great start for aspiring game designers

[mellow roost]

🤔

I can't remember.

[woven verge]

🙏 I'm still on my journey of mastering unreal but its crazy how good uefn is at helping you along with learning, seriously incredible tool

[compact prawn]

I became interested in Unreal after seeing a gta sa remaster/remake in Unreal

[half hazel]

Yeah wasnt the gta defective edition made in ue4

[cerulean basin]

Like, Godot, Unity... they are great engines to create small indie games, but for someone completely new and no coding experience it can get overwhelming.

[limpid flicker]

You know what's a website that can really pin a short range of dates on something? Xanga.

[cerulean basin]

Unreal Engine is not a good place to start if you don't have any previous game development experience to be honest

[open flume]

actually me too

[halcyon stratus]

i have no memory of xanga and actually thought you meant zynga until i googled it

[open flume]

man my xanga was AWESOME

[halcyon stratus]

livejournal though

[compact prawn]

Which engine do you recommend?

[open flume]

i never had an invite to LE

[limpid flicker]

Me, I was never really disciplined enough to post often, but I liked LiveJournal.

[cerulean basin]

I wonder if my first Geocities website is still alive 🤪

[open flume]

i have my first angelfire site saved

[vast ermine]

that was when we had Microsoft Kin

Did you use blink tags, scrolling marquee, and a huge under construction gif?

[halcyon stratus]

oh i was just typing 'looks like xanga is relaunching' beucase their website says they are....

there is a date if you click through enough. the 'in the next month or 2' post is actualyl from 2013

[mellow roost]

Oh what was that one free website hoster? Web something?

[open flume]

all. of. it.

[cerulean basin]

UE for Fortnite or Roblox, if you are just learning how to design a game. If you have some programming experience I recommend checking out Unity.

Text emojis eventually resulted in “uwu” and for that they can never be forgiven

[cerulean basin]

Woke? In GTA???? They would NEVER!!! /s

[open flume]

dont blame emojis forthat

[hollow hawk]

that's what it feels like that's for sure

The word woke is too woke

Cancel it

[desert sonnet]

That's so woke of you

[halcyon stratus]

Cancel culture is woke how do we cancel it without being woke

[serene dirge]

Big chungus

[gritty oar]

How preposterous!

[cinder veldt]

Woke reminds me of that trash bowcaster that Fortnite had a while back

[gritty oar]

You’re asking the serious questions now.

💀

[cerulean basin]

People will try to cancel GTA 6, not realizing that we've already gone through this since the very first GTA and with probably more controversial content

[fiery python]

GTA is woke? Just wait until gay Tony hears about this!

[open flume]

lol facts anchel

[open flume]

him and his pesky ballad!

when you know gay tony's gonna find out..

[compact prawn]

Luis ❤ gay tony

[halcyon stratus]

Okay but wait

[woven verge]

the irony is actually that the crowd that would try to do the "cancelling" has now been reversed

[halcyon stratus]

The world also lost a lot when “power ballads” stopped being written

[noble trout]

GTA 1 was like... about the cars. GTA III was SimCrime.

[open flume]

ok that i agree with tacti

[fiery python]

GTA has to go real far to top the hot coffee controversy.

[woven verge]

they will say that it should be MORE edgy and that including diverse cast is "woke"

[open flume]

also we are the champions is the worst of the power ballads

[dark sparrow]

Half of the outrage about GTA 1 was literally manufactured as a marketing campaign

JUST IN: Over $2.9 trillion has been wiped out from major indices and stocks this morning due to growing fears of a global recession.

This is the worst day for stocks since March 16, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic fears.

Twitter · Aug 2, 2024, 2:24 PM

[cerulean basin]

The more people try to make noise about canceling GTA 6, the better it will sell. Free marketing of a game tons of people already want to buy regardless of what others say.

[tame vortex]

Holy crap...

[open flume]

yup. r* be like:

[compact prawn]

I need to charge my xbox controller batteries 😩

[woven verge]

Hot coffee was a product of its time, the following gtas had s*x as part of the base game and included virtual strip clubs lol it wouldnt be hard to top hot coffee at this point

[cinder veldt]

GTA has always been in wind. For example the amount of parents that had said the game shouldn't exist because it's so violent (meanwhile they let their kid play an even worse game but it's not GTA so it's cool)

[halcyon stratus]

There are a lot of great ones... Every rose has its thorn, i'll be there for you, is this love.. but November Rain? Dang that one hits hard.

But as far as live performacnes go?

Purple rain, under purple lights, while it was raining? Perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lElCzhjiPX8

[fiery python]

But they would though.

While the content of it may seem tame by today's standards, it was a HUGE scandal.

It would take something seriously bad now to reach the level of controversy that did at the time.

[halcyon stratus]

god he goes "can I play this guitar?" and then KABLOWEY

[woven verge]

an entire generation of people have become legal adults since san andreas released the sentiment has changed a ton

yea thats my point nothing can really reach that level of scandal even if the game itself is way more extreme

[open flume]

top 3 super bowl moments ever

[dark sparrow]

The Hot Coffee scandal also changed how the ESRB rated games for quite a while

[halcyon stratus]

dude i'm getting chills just watching the video

[open flume]

also also. something about rain making things epic. goo goo dolls iris, 4th of july philly in the rain

[cerulean basin]

The market today has much more generally accepted videogames as an entertainment option for both young kids and adults.
A game like GTA having adult themes today would be no controversy whatsoever.

[woven verge]

yup

[cerulean basin]

Meh, I knew it would likely trigger the bot and I still took a chance. My fault for trying 😅

[summer magnet]

smh

I'm disappointed

[dark sparrow]

Anchel being naughty

[cerulean basin]

I'll take this slap

[halcyon stratus]

And for people who never saw the November Rain music video.... That was also back when music videos were mini movies and had one of the greatest power ballad solos ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE

[bleak robin]

Gosh you sound like me

Except I get backhanded by the bots for no reason

I didn’t even want to play “Front Hand Back Hand” with the bot

But! In other news I think I’ve decided that as my graduation gift to myself next year I’m going to buy a fursuit

Depending on my monetary situation at that point, I’m still deciding if I’m going to get a partial or full suit

[noble trout]

As an alpaca, isn't there already one on you?

[gray latch]

maybe they got sheared

[bleak robin]

Funnily enough it’s not going to be an alpaca

[cinder veldt]

No way, I'm so jealous

[tired hare]

shark fursuit?

you play 2b2t?

You’re not wrong. Red Dead Redemption II is amazing.

[velvet turret]

@bleak robin mentioned

[cinder veldt]

TBF though with this recent intel flop. But more than Nvidia? Crazy

[swift thistle]

its about 25 bucks more valuable

[velvet turret]

Stock price != market value

Sock price * total shares = market value

[willow prawn]

did in the past, why?

[tired hare]

just curious

[cinder veldt]

Sock prizes were crazy

[willow prawn]

alright

meanwhile im waiting in the quene i got myself cornflakes and music 😭

Evan, are sports mascots considered furries?

[velvet turret]

Your pfp is amazing uwu

[raven citrus]

furry massacre

[limpid flicker]

Excuse you?

[raven citrus]

I mean furry raid

[velvet turret]

Being a furry is mostly a self defined thing imo so if you wana be a sports mascot but not be a furry you can’t choose to not be one :3 but yes I will call you a furry if you wear one and don’t deny it

[tardy skiff]

Me? Thx! 🩵

[velvet turret]

Yes you :3

[limpid flicker]

OK cause that could be a big difference.

[foggy skiff]

you can't choose to not be a furry if you're a sports mascot?

so it's mandatory?

[fierce orbit]

tbh, while I am a furry, I very much dislike Fur suits. a very inconvinte thing if you ask me

[velvet turret]

It’s not manditory

Omg all the furries are here today

[foggy skiff]

I'm confused

[compact prawn]

I'm back

[raven citrus]

wassup

[limpid flicker]

TBH there's like... a perception that those are more important to the community than they really are, right? What people think furries are, and what they are... the Venn diagram has a pretty small overlap.

[west pebble]

Going to see Deadpool and wolverine again... but it's in imax and 3d.

What could be better?

[velvet turret]

Being a mascot and a furry is like a vein diagram

[raven citrus]

nice

[cinder veldt]

They are making a lot of stuff like sight or navigation more difficult, but you get to be your dream character

[velvet turret]

You can be both or one or the other

(The only reason I’m named “Tough Alpaca” is because I had the bot change it for the funni )

[velvet turret]

It fits perfectly imo

Same with axolotl

lol what? nvidia is worth more than intel and amd combined x2

[cinder veldt]

Gosh you are making me want one now

[night rapids]

Run, Coffee, Run

[cinder veldt]

That's why I questioned it

[woven verge]

actually now its more like amd + intel combined x 4-5

[full hamlet]

I need Xbox game pass who have come prv will buy it

[bleak robin]

I want one too, but it’s been relatively difficult to find a maker :P

(Plus the money is… constraining atm)

[cinder veldt]

I believe you will find one

[velvet turret]

I do hear makers are easier to find at conventions :3

[cinder veldt]

Eventually

[cerulean basin]

Much easier (and actually safe, not to mention not against the rules of this server) to buy from Xbox.com

[cinder veldt]

There are some more entry makers out there that still has good work
