Also the discord link in game is very dead.

tried some weird stuff in game with the "god" name incedently and got an achievement for it.

I found the admin login thing for the website, but no idea how to figure out the password

[dull stratus]

I've been looking through the inspect stuff for the login site and uh
I am very confused at some of the stuff here? And. I don't know why there's some of this on the inspect page of this site?

[west wadi]

such as

[dull stratus]

A lot of sites I'd get banned for posting here

[west wadi]

oh 😐 huh.

[normal galleon]

You wanna know why?

Cuz you are looking at your cookies

so you should ask yourself, why are those sites in your cookies?

[dull stratus]

WHY ARE THOSE SITES IN MY COOKIES?

[normal galleon]

Don't inspect element the login page. Rita has asked us not to. respect that wish.

[normal galleon]

Cuz you have visited websites that either advertise those websites, or have been on those websites yourself

[dull stratus]

Oh
Alright
Apologies
But also. I am now confused
Why are those sites in my cookies

[normal galleon]

just be smart and don't be like the other person who came in and posted all of them

and basically exposed themselves 🤣

also, please go to #│roles and pick up the ARG KITTEN role, so you get access to the dedicated ARG channels.

[west wadi]

perfect I didnt see that on joining.

[dull stratus]

Ah XD
But like, I'm safe with how I spend my internet stuff. I'm very confused as to how those even got on there
What sites even advertise them? Since I've never visited like a solid 90% of these

[west wadi]

I knew it was a thing lol

[dull stratus]

There's ones I know I've visited like Fiverr and stuff

[normal galleon]

Google doesn't really care anymore what they advertise. some of them look like shoe advertisement but just go straight to 🌽 websites

[dull stratus]

For petes sake, alright
Well. Time to wipe my cookies so I get all of those sites off

Apologies
Heard about there being some login thing from a friend and they suggested I try to break it by looking into the page
Didn't know they wished against it, I shall not attempt to break the page anymore

[normal galleon]

Bruteforcing the ARG is very frowned upon and even punished. Rita wants us to do this manually without the usage of Ai, Bruteforcing methods, Social Engineering, etc, etc

[dull stratus]

Yeah- Again, Apologies, didn't know about that

[normal galleon]

No need to apologise. it happens to the best of us

[lime plank]

the underrated character in br is the doctor guy

idk if it diffrent from the one that smoke in the like bridge

but i think no one talk about it more often

[normal galleon]

Smoker and Doctor are the same guy

[lime plank]

welp he should be more populer than the dealer since he do the most job 💀

[half perch]

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-satoru-satoru-gojo-gojo-floating-gif-13262904807689696418 how life feels when u have an inverter a magnifying glass and a handsaw

[short quarry]

Don't forget about the Adrenalin, in case the dealer has one of the above

[half perch]

ofc

[lofty wharf]

my pc crashed while i was streaming buckshot runs 💀 at least i was only at 200k

[split marsh]

Final stretch, me or the dealer?

[short quarry]

Hope he got more cash for u

[empty spoke]

I want buckshot roulette on steam so if i show proof that i got it on itch.io a few months ago could someone gift it to my steam account for free.

[pliant willow]

Bro

Its $3

[empty spoke]

But i already own the game on itch and I don’t want to buy it twice

[pliant willow]

Youll have to buy it twice

If I owned the game on itch before it released on steam I wouldve bpught it again in a heartbeat

[frail crane]

And it's 3 bucks no skin off our backs

[cosmic spade]

Me and igna have said this very thing to another person thay being:BRO ITS 3 FUCKING DOLLARS

[cosmic heron]

My son came!!!

[vocal granite]

yayyyyyyyy

[sterile void]

I wish I could get one 😔

[crude sky]

The multiplayer playtest forms, when are we gonna get informed exactly?

[normal galleon]

When they inform you

[normal galleon]

just stating facts

He looks so handsome, I'm so happy everyone's getting they dealers x3

[cobalt epoch]

i've never been so happy to lose in my entire life

[tired jungle]

I think I smoked or ate something wrong, so I decided to change the Dealer to Boykisser and Tyler Durden

[loud estuary]

you like kissing shotguns, don't you?

[tired jungle]

but the most dangerous kiss is a kiss from a shotgun

because he can kill you

clocking HOURS

[lofty wharf]

damn, dealer will use adrenaline and steal cigarettes before he wants to use his own expired meds. I didnt know that was the case until it happened to me

wait i just looked at the code and its actually pretty complicated. he wont do it all the time

[normal galleon]

I think it's random

it likely has a priority list build in

if <adrenaline> = true then <priority list>

which then also has checks. he doesn't have to steal cigs if he has full health

or atleast, that's how it works i assume

[lofty wharf]

I think I got it
At the start of the loop for choosing his item, he does check his own items (itemManager.itemArray_dealer) if any of them are cigarettes. If he does have cigarettes, haveCigs is set to true, and he won't use his expired medicine. (this is why he always smokes before using pills)

However, later in the code, if he does have adrenaline he also puts the players items in that array (itemManager.itemArray_dealer). But since it's later in the code, he won't check the players items for cigs in the first loop. But this array doesnt reset at the start of the loop, so the player's items will actually be checked in every subsequent loop if he has adrenaline.

[normal galleon]

That is an interesting fact

I'm going insane trying to figure this out

What does it mean

[normal galleon]

@open shoreHi, it seems you want to participate in the Buckshot Roulette ARG, however, you are missing the ARG role required to see the dedicated ARG Channels.

Please head to #│roles and pick up the ARG-KITTEN role. Then head over to #│brainstorming or #│kitten-break-room to come and say hello!

[open shore]

Oh thank you!

[mental smelt]

It's real

[ember rose]

I wonder what this means

[normal galleon]

new OST release and likely new vinyl release (repress)

[normal galleon]

how fast was this made jesus

[ember rose]

Interesting

[vocal granite]

ah no this was part of a fanart thing on twitter

can't find the sauce but it looks so good

[normal galleon]

it does look dope

Mike is going to hate me

I am making a Dealer Replacer mod

and it will turn the Dealer into a fully animated Thomas The Tank Engine

[vocal granite]

you want him GONE????

oh god

i wanna see

please make the theme song play at all times

further increasing the player's insanity

[normal galleon]

HAHAHA

the club music becomes a techno remix of thomas the tank engine

@vocal granite

The music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfn3QBMYkGc

[vocal granite]

oh god djfnsdkjfbds

[normal galleon]

If it's possible, I might just make a mod framework for the game itself

or just the overall Mike Klubnika games starting at BR

[blazing copper]

Hi

[ripe stump]

It isn't meant to be

[pure obsidian]

do any of yall utter awesome one liners before blowing the dealer to smithereens (i do)

like when ending a round

[ripe stump]

No I just bop to the music

[foggy mantle]

Dealer knows the last shell, and if it's a 50 50 that means he also knows the second

[pure obsidian]

reasonable. socket calibration SLAPS

[ripe stump]

Dealer knows, but the ai flips a coin to decide to shoot itself, or the player

Unless he has knowledge knowledge;)

[normal galleon]

Yes

[normal galleon]

Wrong, dealer always knows last shell and depending on if it's blank or not he will always shoot the player

I've never had it happen that he shot himself on the last live shell

[ripe stump]

Yeah I read it wrong 😖

[normal galleon]

I mean, technically the round faced a-hole knows all shells

[ripe stump]

Yeah but before it does reach the last bullet, and if he doesn't use burner, magnifier, or beer, it flips a coin to decide who to shoot:P

[foggy mantle]

Yes

[normal galleon]

Yep

[ripe stump]

Spectacular

[ember rose]

From what I know, he actually shoots based on how many shells are left

If there’s more live than blanks, he shoots you, if there’s more blanks than live, he shoots himself

[ripe stump]

That's what I do too

[ember rose]

I advise against shooting yourself almost 98% of the time

[ripe stump]

I shoot myself first bullet everytime (unless L>B)

If it's 50/50, I flip a coin

Not when I play 🥲

[ember rose]

It’s interesting because it makes the dealer scarier when there’s a lot of live rounds (he will make the smart play to fire at you) but when there’s more blanks he will keep shooting himself until there’s equal blanks and lives, which he will then coin flip, making it pretty likely he hits himself

There’s a good video by delightful kissboy than explains why shooting yourself is generally not a good idea, but of course it’s up to you if you wish to play like that

[ripe stump]

Hate when he does this in D/N, he just fires blanks at himself three times, then the fourth is me.

[ember rose]

Sometimes the dealer wins those

From what I understand, the story mode uses the dealer AI where it’s a coinflip every shot besides the final shell, while double or nothing uses the other AI, which bases it’s shots on majority

Oh yeah, also to note

In double or nothing, since the dealer will count the shells properly, he will know if the remaining shells are all live or blank

This means he will use the inverter if every shell left is blank

I’m curious what the new multiplayer items will all do

The one teased in the teaser image is often suspected to be one that reverses turn order- in which I agree
I am curious if there will be more items, and what they may do

[ripe stump]

Literally like snatch the gun outta opponent's hands

[ember rose]

Now this would work especially interestingly in multiplayer, but the only idea I’ve had for an item for buckshot is a hand grenade

You use it, and it deals 1 damage immediately to both players

[ripe stump]

Last resort

That'd be dope asf

[ember rose]

Good for finishing off 1 hp dealers without risking the shotgun, if you have the HP advantage

Vice versa is true, of course..

[ripe stump]

Whaddya suppose the texture for the opponent will be?

[ember rose]

The dealer gets to cheat though, because if both players lose simultaneously the house wins
That’s how I went, anyway

[ember rose]

Been curious about this myself
I suspect a shadow figure, similar to the doctor/smoking man

If our shadow characters are slightly customizable that would be interesting

[ripe stump]

That would be sick lmao

[ember rose]

I’m not sure what to expect from multiplayer, but I sure am excited

[ripe stump]

I hope no one hacks:/

Don't think they'll be able to

But 🙏

[ember rose]

I’m curious if 4 player matches can be 2 v 2

[ripe stump]

That'd be a weird like mechanism

[ember rose]

2 v 2 matches where your partner sits across from you
Goal of it is to eliminate the other 2 players before they do the same to you

That much is true for sure

I’m curious to see if there would be and actual setting for specific 2v2 matches
If not that’s entirely fine, agreements are definitely going to be interesting to play with

The handcuffs in multiplayer are going to be the only item I believe to be vastly different in how you use it

Normally the handcuffs let you take two turns (as a result of it skipping the dealer’s turn), but in a game with more than 2 players, it likely would just select a player to skip their next turn

[ripe stump]

I'm looking forward to a (hopefully) expired pill death animation

[ember rose]

I am excited to see that

I wonder if there will be an option to toggle rules for multiplayer matches
Surely, right?

[ripe stump]

Yeah, for sure there'll be

If not the base release, then probably in a later update

I think "wildcard" settings would be fun

[ember rose]

Turning off adrenaline setting time

[ripe stump]

😋

[ember rose]

It’s so funny how adrenaline is like without question the best item in the game

In multiplayer it’s even better

[ripe stump]

Either adrenaline or magnifying glass is best imo

[ember rose]

Adrenaline is easily

Adrenaline is any item in the game and the dealer also loses that item

It’s one ‘weakness’ is that it’s limited to what exists on the table

But I raise that “if the dealer does not have any items that are good to steal, the dealer isn’t likely a big threat at all”

Magnifying glass in second place makes sense to me

[ripe stump]

My favorite thing about adrenaline is the music volume boost

Really sets you in nicely

[ember rose]

All 9 of the current items are all really interesting

The only one that I consider bad is bad medicine, but that’s the whole idea of it so, I really don’t mind

[ripe stump]

Surprisingly, it's helped me more than hurt

But it's only a last resort thing

Like if I know next shot i'm boned, or if i'm at one charge

[ember rose]

Last resort is where it’s good yeah

Inverter is a really interesting item

By itself, it’s not actually super great, just decent

But combined with other items it becomes extremely good

[ripe stump]

Especially for 50/50 shots (2 bullets)

Just handcuff dealer, hope you're on a blank, use magnifying glass or the burner, 2-4 charges gone (depending on use of saw)

[ember rose]

Magnifying glass + inverter + handsaw is just 2 HP gone for sure

Which can be an entire round

[ripe stump]

I've done that once, and it was awesome

But dealer handcuffed me and ate a few blanks, then killed me w/ two shots:(

[lofty wharf]

if you dont have mag or phone, hope for live 1st shell, not blank. The difference between the two is that if you guess wrong you get to keep an inverter

actually its even more of a difference, you also get 1 shot minuimum

[cosmic spade]

Yeah I love hearing before every load once I just wanted to listen to the music and the adrenaline wore off so I didn't steal anything

Also the music hits different in-game than listening to it otherwise

[ripe stump]

😋

Hey, so

Where would discussing the ARG be, here, or somewhere else? Because like, I have possibly a stupid question but one worth exploring if we haven't already

Ah, I see

Hello! Go to https://discord.com/channels/1158444754325999747/1208049693511127060 to get the ARG Kitten role and get the channel to discuss the ARG

[distant flint]

ty!

[idle venture]

That's a good one.

[zealous hornet]

what are the odds that the game will be renamed to Backshot Roulette on April 1st

[normal galleon]

0

renaming a game on steam just for the funsies is a pain in the ass

[shadow valve]

but it's for the funsies :3

[normal galleon]

The amount of stuff you have to go through with steam is annoying ROFL

unless they removed the Name lock thing, where if you change the name you can't change it again for X amount of time

[shadow valve]

Dude, SO uncool :(

[normal galleon]

Let me check, imma just rename one of my steam projects

[shadow valve]

Okie, good luck :3

[normal galleon]

it does seem they removed the lock on it

but I just renamed the soundtrack file of my game and not the game name itself

so not sure

[zealous hornet]

im talking about in-game

not on the steam page

[normal galleon]

ah, ingame easy ROFL, but I doubt mike will

[zealous hornet]

it would be funny

[crude sky]

Mike got exposed on spotify 💀

[night marsh]

[woven wigeon]

yeah definitely a roblox game

i'd know from 9 years of experience

[tawdry otter]

Is that for real, or is Klubnika a really common Estonian last name

[sharp needle]

aka my game

[normal galleon]

sounds more like someone just putting Mike's name on the song, since spotify doesn't actually check at all

[ebon grove]

Are we getting beta in august?

[normal galleon]

We don't know

[ebon grove]

Hopefully ;-;

[normal galleon]

I would assume so

but we'll see

[ebon grove]

We got no news since then so maybe?

[normal galleon]

it's likely

[ebon grove]

The majority from discord server that sign the form isn't something that big so I assume they are waiting for August 1

[normal galleon]

I mean, true, but we don't know if they want to keep the multiplayer under wraps during beta testing or not

[ebon grove]

Uhh, I don't think it's possible to keep that in secret

[normal galleon]

They are called NDA's

but doubt they go that direction

[ebon grove]

Like cs go 2 had a beta

It was closed

But not like in secret

I just wish participating in beta at any costs

[normal galleon]

we'll see how it goes, idk what their requirements are to be selected

[ebon grove]

I remember writing that Im expecting strategic experience bruh

But now I think it would be goofy fun gamemode with friends and randoms

[teal moth]

in buckshot i tryid everything and nothing worked my pc doesn't support vulcan driver and when i open game there is black screen my mouse can see buttons and there is sound but i cant see anything couse my screen is black i tried everything nothing worked help please

[ebon grove]

Update drivers?

[normal galleon]

Run the game in OpenGL?

[teal moth]

yes i did and didnt worked

[normal galleon]

Got your specs?

[teal moth]

i have nvidia gt 630 and i3 2030

[normal galleon]

Ancient card

there is no but. it's an ancient, no longer supported card

Yeah, cuz it's not generating any actual frames

I can give you 240 Frames on a black screen

since there are no frames to generate

Simply said, your card is to old to likely run the game, that's my suspicion

[crude sky]

Istg Mike hides shit in literally everything

[normal galleon]

Correct. the QR code leads to Aphex Twins

the DFA is a website where you can buy guns

the barcode is an actual medication barcode

Can They?

are you drivers updated?

Your only option you have, since your card clearly does not support Vulkan, is either running it with Launch Parameters "-openGL" or "-dx10"

@teal moth

I would use -dx10

Try -dx11

I forgot GODOT doesn't support DirectX, my bad

also, it's 1 - not two

try -rendering-driver opengl3

I added an extra - on accident

so try again removing the - between Driver and Opengl3

hmm

Best to open a bug report then I guess, I did what I can with limited access/resources

[fringe tundra]

did you uninstall and download the game again? that might help, and also update all of your drivers

hmmm

[winter geode]

Dickshot r34lette

[pliant willow]

As far as Im aware no changes have been made to DoN recently

Its been the same as always

Also this is jsut a really funny argument

Buys a game based around gambling and RNG
Gets mad about the RNG

[normal galleon]

Nah, the RNG isn't that heavy

you just need to get better

the game is easy to beat if you are tactical about it

[pliant willow]

So thats why you make strategies to make it seem less RNG heavy

Its really not that bad if you figure out ways to go about things, even with few or not-so-helpful items

[normal galleon]

https://tenor.com/kTGgFKTbMw9.gif

[pliant willow]

He only tells you about the rules if you play the story

He skips that during DoN

[normal galleon]

Okay, but still

you can easily get through DoN if you are strategic about it

Mike isn't going to change the RNG of the game just cuz you suck at it

[pliant willow]

He literally only says 1 line in DoN occasionally

And thats too much?

Says you, who says its too RNG heavy

When it really isnt

[normal galleon]

I never have said it's a hard game

you are the one coming in here complaining about the RNG making the game hard/tedious

[pliant willow]

Lmao

[normal galleon]

atleast you are giving your username some actual meaning

[pliant willow]

This guys complaining about the game then trying to put his words in other peoples mouths

Sore loser Im hearing

[normal galleon]

eh, not worth my attention tbh. My advise is "Get good". do with it as you wish. Ciao

you know there is a "uninstall" button, right? go play a different game lol.

[pliant willow]

The animations give it charm

[normal galleon]

Exactly

[pliant willow]

If youre so impatient you cant wait through a less than 5 second cutscene, why are you here

[normal galleon]

Can't imagine how getting into a discord is for them 💀 the amount of clicks you have to do and that takes longer then 5 seconds. poor child

[pliant willow]

You just seem like a hella impatient fool to me

[normal galleon]

We'll ask mike to add some Subway surfers footage in the top right

[pliant willow]

Im not saying its flawless, every game has its flaws, but your asking for a skip button for somethign that literally takes 5 seconds to do

[normal galleon]

Agreed

but to like, complain about the games RNG and then put words into peoples mouth is a no no

[mental smelt]

Please, people, refrain from arguments. It's gotten too heated already

[normal galleon]

Не пытался спорить. Виноват

[normal galleon]

there there

Huh

[normal galleon]

hmm?

Now I have to keep this pfp?

[normal galleon]

Nah, if you change I will just make a new one

I can make em on the go anyways

[mental smelt]

it's very flattering

[normal galleon]

anyways, since I got you here, gotta ask ya something

[mental smelt]

go ahead

i jjust need help i lost my greatness in game so i need help getting back on my feet such as i screen share and you would give second opinions about what im doing

hmm, I would if I had time for it today but I am rather busy :/

hopefully someone else comes along that is willing to help ya

kk have a good day

ps no one is

any 1 wanna help me in a game

[zinc umbra]

hey does anyone know if different languages give different ammounts of money in DoN?

tried english, latin american spanish and traditional chinese and I get very different bounties

notably LATAM spanish only gave me like 10 bucks twice...

[pliant willow]

It works based on time

If youre too slow you get 10 bucks minimum

At 17 minutes

[normal galleon]

The game does not account for this at all. It's time based

[zinc umbra]

OOOOOO

ok ok

thanks!! then I just was slow

[flat laurel]

finally back from vacation. the hold mail request ended today. you know what that means

the diller

[lofty wharf]

animation time is a valid criticism. A lot of the game really is just waiting. Sure, one animation alone isnt that much, but comboing items and watching through dealers death and changing to the new round is slow man. Theres a lot of times where i 100% have the win secured but using adrenalines, mags, handcuffs, inverters etc, it takes 2 min of just watching cutscenes until i actually move on to the next round so i can start thinking again

[wary owl]

Let him go please I beg you 😭🙏

[cosmic spade]

A skip button would suck the game is meant to be cinematic

[cosmic spade]

Yeah let him go I know he can be annoying but still

[normal galleon]

inb4 he becomes British and a Driller

[lofty wharf]

idc im here for the strategizing

[regal locust]

my stupid theory for buckshot: The dealer is some kind of half robot, half man, that was created by volta. I think this because 1: during the good ending of the game, there is a robotic whirring sound and a pair of blinking red eyes before the breifcase of money is pushed forward by robotic arms. and 2: when the dealer is shot, you dont see the flashing light of the defib go off, so there must be something else keeping him alive.

as to why volta would make something like that, i still have no clue

If someone has any lore stuff to talk about I would be happy to

[cosmic spade]

K but still the anims play for like 5 secs dang it

[sour tulip]

I do feel that some of the animations could be sped up if you've already played

[snow zinc]

i dont get what the issue is with the item animations honestly

[sour tulip]

It's a little annoying when you're getting a Double Or Nothing run set up (as the amount of starting money matters a lot) and have to replay grabbing the pills, kicking down the door, kicking down the second door, and sign the contract every time

[snow zinc]

is it the timing of using them? or is it just that people dont want to sit through them

[sour tulip]

Oh, is this about the item animations?

[snow zinc]

yes

[sour tulip]

Nah, those are fast

[snow zinc]

apparently anyway

im not too sure

yes its animation time

[sour tulip]

At the absolute most, I'd have something in the options menu that skips them

But even that is not super necessary

[snow zinc]

i guess, but theyre not that long at all

[sour tulip]

The only real issue is that, especially in Double Or Nothing where you have an average of 3.5 items per box, you use a lot of items in a row

Which does admittedly take some time

[snow zinc]

im gonna say that most anims take around 4-6 seconds

if you use 3 in a row, its 15 seconds

i dont know how it could be that painful for someone to sit through

[sour tulip]

The only one that bothers me to any extent is adrenaline

Being that it's a longer animation + combines itself with another since you're stealing an item

But again, it's minor

I'd rather focus on the intro having to be repeated every death, that one is understandable

[snow zinc]

thats fair, since it is using 2 items every time

but realistically, i think that this issue is mainly just an attention span issue

i dont believe that its worthwhile enough to actually program in different animations/code to allow people to switch to and from faster animations

[ocean spire]

the animations i think are really satisfiying

espicially when its on your end and your creating the perfect setup to kill the dealer

[lofty wharf]

were not talking about 15 seconds

since the start of the clip i knew 100% every action i had to do and played them as fast as possible, had to wait 1 and a half minutes for the next round

and this kind of situation is not rare at all

i knew 3rd shell was live from phone btw i just didnt include it in the clip because i wasnt playing fast at that point

[snow zinc]

you missed a big part of what i said, which was "if you use 3 in a row"

also i was assuming that most animations take about 5 seconds

but in this case, you used 7 items, 2 of them being adrenaline, which is like using 9 items, aswell as the gunshots

[lofty wharf]

my point is that animations take a lot of time. How many items are used is irrelevant

[snow zinc]

how many items used is pretty relevant, because animations by themselves are quite short

[lofty wharf]

i would understand if this was a rare scenario but its very common to use this many items. even with 4 items less i would still have to wait a minute because switching rounds takes half a minute

[sour tulip]

To be fair here

Speeding up animations IS something that would affect the game

Both in making Double Or Nothing runs faster (as even getting to a million takes an hour on average), and... being a huge buff to initial cash because you're taking less time

[crude sky]

Also had the same theory, the Volta's leaderboard works with flesh in the bathroom. Gives us the clue that Volta experiments with flesh and mixes flesh with electronics.

[normal galleon]

sounds like you should be in the ARG channels 😅

go here -> #│roles and pick up the ARG Kitten role :) you then gain access to #│brainstorming and #│kitten-break-room

[sharp harbor]

I mean ideally you would only see the whole intro sequence every dozens of minutes, assuming normal play

[pliant willow]

I was talking about the item animations on that part, and I assume most other people also were

If youre that petty about a 30 second animation your ideally gonna see every several dozen minutes, enough to uninstall the entire game, I think thats a you issue

[sharp harbor]

The only problem with a "disable animations" switch would be that highscores are balanced around animations taking some amount of time to complete.

[pliant willow]

Ive been a gamer my entire life from watching my dad play games to today and I couldnt care less about the animation time
They look pleasing and its enough for me

[sharp harbor]

It sort of is, highscores are balanced around time, and time is relevant to the time the game takes to do things.

A good solution would be to just tack on time based on item use animation time if the switch is enabled.

You spend most of the animation time thinking, there is pretty much no seperate "thinking" time.

But then people who use it would be at a disadvantage, and then nobody who plays the game for scores would use it.

buckshot isn't a game for everyone definitely, animation mode could change the "thinking style" of the game.

[pliant willow]

BR with no animations would also just be another fancy point and click game

Point and click means point and click
Where tf did you get "adventure" from

[pliant willow]

Okay

And names can evolve over time

And grow to mean different things than what they meant however many years ago

Okay

Okay

Ok

I wasnt expecting a sudden presentation on what point and click adventure games were

And now youre removing all youre messages because this was 'pointless'
Tell me, how much time did removing your messages and having this whole conversation do for you compared to BR's animation time? :)

[near socket]

Ignoring the problem of "high scores" which can be fixed by multiplying the score based on the delta difference of animation speed. There is absolutely no argument against having animation speed configurable (other than time to implement).
If I did the math on how many balatro runs i've done, at 4x animation speed, it'd be well over hours of just watching animations play out.

If you like the animations, keep em at 1x speed, if you don't, speed them up, does no harm to anyone. Just a nice feature to have.

[sharp harbor]

Agreed, the only problem is exactly how long that would take to implement

Scratch that, its probably not actually that bad

[near socket]

I don't know much about godot, so I can't say.

[sharp harbor]

The only thing to do would be to measure the amount of time an animation would normally take, and then tack that onto the counter if animations are set to skip, and if the animations are set to speed up just make the timer faster (or add an offset) to implement it

[near socket]

Or just convert each animation to a static amount of points, and then its speed wouldn't matter. Honestly if they're going to the lengths of implementing multiplayer, i'm sure they have the know how to add an animation speed setting. This has been my only gripe with the game so far, especially when going for the last 2 achievements.

The animations wouldn't be "less beautiful" just cause they're sped up a bit

[rose pine]

I need to buy the steam verson of buckshot roulet I don't even recognize these items 😭

I got the itch.io verson, not knowing it was on steam

[cosmic heron]

Itch io has the new items

[ebon grove]

It's august first and still no invitations for beta

[cosmic spade]

I can't see the guys messages who complained about the time did he get banned?

[normal galleon]

Jesus christ. do you not know what patience is?

[normal galleon]

Link Spamming or any other auto mod infraction auto deletes all your messages... idk why they set it up like that but it's quite annoying

[ebon grove]

I don't, why

[normal galleon]

Patience is your friend. They will give out the beta when they give out the beta. you asking ain't going to speed it up

[ebon grove]

They might even ignore me because I'm spamming so much in this channel xd

Everyday, I imagine a future where I got backshot roulette beta access

[normal galleon]

I don't think they will base their decision on that at all. but in a generic sense, it's not wise to keep asking when something is coming

they will release it when they are ready to do so

[ebon grove]

True, true

[sharp harbor]

it wasnt automod, he said "im tired of this" and then deleted all of his messages

[cosmic spade]

K loo

Lol

[plain mirage]

Attempting some hueforge stuff with my new 3d printer- decided to try out some official art. It's kind of looking good so I think I might put it in my queue of stuff. This is what the preview looks like.

If anyone wants the stl files and instructions, I'm happy to give them to you or even post them here. I work with a p1s with a 0.4 nozzle so they'll be tailored towards that. I also only have 1 ams (it's not too hard to swap out mid print- i just dont like doing so), so I'm sticking to 4 colors, though I may try printing in parts next

[sharp sonnet]

Is discussion of lore/the arg ok here?

[normal galleon]

There is special channels for the ARG.

if you head into #│roles you can pick up the ARG KITTEN role

[sharp sonnet]

Thanks!

[normal galleon]

which then gives you access to #│brainstorming and #│kitten-break-room

[solid ridge]

I wonder if it would be cooler to see The Dealer play liar’s dice or Davy Jones play buckshot roulette?

[sick zealot]

davy jones playing buckshot imo

[dusk current]

wheres the lighting?

who stole my goddamn lighting?

[midnight gale]

I have a question, I was translated BR English to Turkish when my Turkish translation add in the game?

[pliant willow]

From what Ive witnessed from watching the devlogs of an indie game Im interested in, simply adding a language translation into a game isnt very simple thanks to Legal Issues

[drifting mortar]

hey, MorroXD! could you please try going through our troubleshooting guide? here: #1253369198839857153 message

[dusk current]

im not that suprised, OpenGL Renderer was always quirky in Godot

ah, wish i could play with Vulkan right now

[drifting mortar]

hello! Buckshot Roulette actually supports Turkish already; are you having trouble with switching language?

[midnight gale]

Turkish translation made with Google auto translation, I have fixed it.

[drifting mortar]

yeah, it looks much better in Vulkan, glad you're still keen on playing the game

[dusk current]

i'm also not an expert, but i think if all that stuff under the table wouldnt be rendered when its not really needed to show, then the fps would be kinda y'know, higher

or maybe the optimization problem is not with the table?

[drifting mortar]

oh, I'm not sure if I'm following correctly; could you please send your question via ticket form? https://discord.com/channels/1158444754325999747/1252933870639382538

[midnight gale]

Okey

[drifting mortar]

some graphics cards not working is like a common thing with Godot games, so I'm not sure whether optimization would make it much better

[dusk current]

hah, im just saying that because in the toliet/starting room i always get 41+ fps
and yeah, my videocard is pretty old and isnt really even made for gaming anyways, so whatever

[drifting mortar]

ah, I see, perhaps having a beating heart inside the computer impacts this a bit

[dusk current]

yeeaaah, who knows)

[normal galleon]

so it is a heart.. good to know

[winter geode]

I was a bit hungry, sorry. 😦

[atomic belfry]

is there a solution for the infamous sound-cut-off-when-leaivng-rest-room bug?

i heard about updating earphone's drivers or whatever but my issue is that i have some chinese air-pods knock offs so i doubt they have anything like that

[lilac coral]

what does the dealer do in a 50/50

[golden dock]

randomly decided AFAIK

if no items

[normal galleon]

The dealer knows the last shell

so he will 9 out of 10 times always have the 50/50 correct

if you play the game correct, you also should know the last shell most of the time

unless it's a 50/50

[opal knot]

I feel like on 50/50s I always see the dealer try to shoot you

[idle venture]

In both the normal mode and in Double or Nothing he decides randomly if it's a 50/50 chance.

In normal mode he will flip a coin for every shell he doesn't know the polarity of. In Double or Nothing he makes a choice based on the amount of remaining shells of each polarity. As in, if there are more lives, he'll always shoot you.

The Dealer doesn't actually have that knowledge until you arrive to the final shell.

He'll always make the correct choice on the final shell, but until then he doesn't have any extra information.

So in reality, in the normal mode he's playing at a huge disadvantage (beyond going second every time). You're counting the shells throughout the entire round and use that knowledge the whole time. Dealer counts shells, but doesn't use that knowledge until the final shell.

In Double or Nothing you two are mostly equal, except for Dealer being locked to his rigid strategy, which isn't actually optimal.

I think the process of elimination comes into play in Double or Nothing, while the normal mode is implemented simpler, with the final shell simply being tagged as revealed, and Dealer not trying to figure out the shells he doesn't know based on the ones he does know.

But it's been a while since I looked at the code, and I was mostly interested in the generation of rounds and loadouts at the time.

Yeah. His goal seemingly isn't to win, but rather to keep you playing. Especially in Double or Nothing, where if you keep going, Dealer's eventual victory is guaranteed, as he never actually dies.

Ye, but there's at least a concrete end to it, at which point the Dealer has to reward you with money. But in Double or Nothing, you're free to screw yourself out of everything no matter how long you've been playing for.

[normal galleon]

Those red "eyes" are literally the money machine

We got that from the files.

The Dealer absolutely completely gets shot into a different dimension

He is absolutely dead

He joins god in the after life

What lore?

There is technically no lore to begin with

And even if there was, Double or Nothing is within a Psychotic state of mind. the pills you take are psychotics

so Double or Nothing technically doesn't actually happen in RealSpace

[idle venture]

We also hear his defibrillator go off after the last shot.

[normal galleon]

how? his defib cable literally gets cut lol

[idle venture]

You tell me, the sound is there.

[normal galleon]

get a clip of it

[idle venture]

Nah.

[normal galleon]

okay, then it doesn't happen

[idle venture]

Win-win for both of us.

[normal galleon]

been literally playing the game over and over for the ARG, would have noticed it by now if it actually happened

[idle venture]

I'm probably mistaking some other zappy sound for it.

[normal galleon]

likely the machine booting up since that does make a low buzz noise before it plays the red eye thingy

[idle venture]

It's slowed down when it happens, and it's in sync with you racking the shotgun, but I don't recognize it as the shotgun sound.

Oh wait

I don’t have image perms here

My bad

[normal galleon]

I stand corrected

[steel mortar]

Beer

[normal galleon]

that is indeed a defib

[idle venture]

A backup defib, supposedly.

[normal galleon]

interesting,never heard it in my games

[steel mortar]

Is the Dealer trying to rizz us up when he says we’re dancing on the edge of life and death?

[idle venture]

I caught it on my first playthrough, and once you've noticed it, it's easy enough to hear it again.

[opal knot]

@normal galleon excuse me: Where is the ARG channel?

I'm only here because a friend of mine is obsessed with these things and started asking me to help solve it.

I don't even play the game but I want to solve it... what is going on here haha

let's go buckshotting!
Shoot yourself Live -1hp aw dang it
Shoot yourself Live -1hp aw dang it
Shoot dealer Blank -0hp aw dang it
Shoot yourself Live -1hp aw dang it

Shoot yourself Live -1hp aw- dies

[normal galleon]

it has not

[solid ridge]

Hopefully soon

[sharp sonnet]

That’s the thing you never shoot you self unless you know it’s blank

[winter geode]

Thats why you never shoot yourself without a strategy.

[winter geode]

Well, not always a blank, sometimes its best to sacrifice some charges so you don't end up losing less.

[sharp sonnet]

True, it often depends on the dealers item loadout and the remaining shells

[outer oriole]

They're actually sedatives, and not anti-psychotic medicine.

Surely the 1MG of qualudes the character takes wouldn't have much effect on the individual unless they took some other sort of barbiturate like Alcohol for instance. They're not used as an anti-psychotic whatsoever, in fact anyone with a pre-disposition to psychosis (such as a schizophrenic) would likely not be given Qualdues whatsoever.

I do however feel like the infinite game that happens in game however is supposed to be a message against mixing drugs and addicition as a whole: Even a single pill with only 1mg of Methaqualone can send you to your death.

They're meant to wisk you away to sleep... The classification of drug is a 'Hypnotic'

I feel this is a very important distinction if you're going to make the claim that what the character is experiencing is grounded in any fabrication of reality or not. It's like an endless dream, which to me evokes a tone of sleep or death, much like the waiting room the nightclub is for the player.

[icy orchid]

anyone has music of buckshot?

[vocal cedar]

do you own the game on steam?

[icy orchid]

yes

[vocal cedar]

if you go the game files, it has the soundtrack

[icy orchid]

oh wait aren't you a developer lol?

[outer oriole]

He's the creator lol

[icy orchid]

xd

[icy orchid]

thanks tho

[vocal cedar]

i would link you to the bandcamp but it got nuked for some reason

[outer oriole]

I've been looking for a lossless version of the soudtrack myself. My internet connection here is spotty so I'm downloading everything, but slowly D:

[icy orchid]

soundtrack is so nice

[vocal cedar]

glad you like it

[outer oriole]

I think so as well! ❤️

[icy orchid]

perfectly fits with game

[outer oriole]

So once the download is finished, I can search the game files to find the soundtrack, or is the soundtrack available to download somewhere else I havent noticed

[icy orchid]

here all soundtracks game has

[vocal cedar]

yeah just right click on buckshot in the library and go properties, installed files, browse

and then it's in a folder there

[outer oriole]

Awesome! Easy peasy, no extra purchase neccessary! 😉
(Still picking up the re-presses and CD ❤️ )

[vocal cedar]

hell yeah! thank you

[outer oriole]

HOLY SHIT IS THAT MIKK IN CHAT

[lunar herald]

I wish they make a vtuber studio plugin for buckshot roulette multiplayers

this is perfect place for vtuber model to standing there holding shotgun and shoot themselves

if no one making it maybe it is my duty to do it

[normal galleon]

GODOT isn't the simplest to make that with sadly

[lunar herald]

i know

[frank socket]

hi mike

[vocal cedar]

hello

[spice whale]

Omg it’s Mike

Fan of your game and especially the soundtrack

Iirc you also created the other games, I can’t remember the name but one of them was cutting through a giant metal wall into the outside world

[loud estuary]

The Other Side

[spice whale]

Ohh right

[loud estuary]

hiya Mike, how goes the game development things

And how’s multiplayer working out in Godot?

[lone plaza]

Hey guys I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but are fangames allowed

And if I make one do i have permission to release it online (free, no profit made)

[loud estuary]

should probably ping Mike for that

or email him

[lone plaza]

i uh

emailed him a week ago

[lament wagon]

Hey! What do you have in mind?

[lone plaza]

I've recreated the game except as a tabletop local multiplayer game

so basically youre playing buckshot roulette against a friend on your phone (not online)

theres no ai or double or nothing items and theres a bunch of links to the original game

[lofty wharf]

when you play buckshot without tracking the shells or item spawn orders

[cosmic heron]

me

[sharp needle]

brother when are they releasing multiplayer its been ages for cryin out loud

[normal galleon]

Solution: learn how to make a game and then do it yourself

or you know, have patience. the game is made by a single developer.

the dude is likely working his ass off to get the bugs out

[sharp needle]

i thought he had a team working with him

[normal galleon]

Not from what I know. maybe some help from some people but iirc he is a single dev

regardless, Don't rush developers into releasing stuff

let them take their time

you want a good end product, you give them the time to make it

[pliant willow]

People: "Make the game faster for us its been so long"
The game: Has bugs
People: "This game sucks why didnt they take the time to fix the bugs"

The endless loop of people who dont understand how hard it is to make a video game that Works

[sharp needle]

im not trying to rush them but im just impatient, if i were rushing them then i would be a desperate guy in the chat talking like a wuss about how its not released yet

[normal galleon]

This pretty much

[normal galleon]

Your impatiency is still a form of pressure to the developers, even if it doesn't feel like it.

trust me, as a game developer myself, please don't. please just be patient and wait

it will come when it's ready

[sharp needle]

alr

[winter geode]

it was just a question yall stop dragging it

[solid ridge]

I’d rather have a spectacular multiplayer later than a bland one now

[lost fog]

hmmmm

[vagrant socket]

Oh you're a game developer? Thats cool.

[tall heart]

I wish there was a gif of the main menu shell falling with and without the texts, would make for an amazing wallpaper

[normal galleon]

Want it?

I got it

[tall heart]

Pretty Please! I would love it :)

[normal galleon]

one second

[normal galleon]

You will need to make it a loop

[tall heart]

Ah, it will do

Thank you so much!

[normal galleon]

welcome

I might have a better loop

let me check

[tall heart]

Would be even better

[normal galleon]

not a better loop but a different version

[tall heart]

Perfect for a Banner

Thank you a lot again!

[inner ruin]

Fanart ( idk the place )

[inner ruin]

Hello ?

😦

[loud estuary]

Thought I did make it loop, unless I'm going crazy?

[normal galleon]

Crazy it is

[normal galleon]

#│fanart-chat .

[loud estuary]

[lone plaza]

hey sorry for asking again but is my fangame allowed for release

heres some footage if needed

i remade everything including models art code and music (remixes)

im aware mikes creating actual multiplayer for the game so maybe my game could come out a few weeks after te update as a compromise?

[normal galleon]

This looks really good.

I think your best option is to open a ticket through #│bug-reports in the Buckshot Category and then ask your question there, CR is more likely to see the question faster

[lone plaza]

Thanks! Ill give it half a day though for any staff to see it, using bug reports like that feels kinda cheaty

[lone plaza]

Also when i say release i mean like an itch.io apk download for android, not google play

[outer oriole]

Hey that's really neat! LMK when it's done 🙂

[normal galleon]

It's what bug reports are for, idk why they don't just call it "Tickets" or "Support" instead of bug reports, but they use them for user reports and stuff aswell

[cosmic heron]

yo this looks sick

[inner ruin]

Thanks

[ember rose]

Been slowly increasing my total savings

Assuming multiplayer does in fact allow you to bet earned money in the game, I’d love to have a good amount saved in the game

[normal galleon]

I kinda doubt Mike currently stores that value though

cuz there is no reason in the current form of the game to store that value other then high score which is then overwritten

[ember rose]

Total savings is in the game

[normal galleon]

• if that would be the case, I kinda expect him to reset everyone to 0

[ember rose]

total cash, at the bottom

[normal galleon]

Ah, Nice

[ember rose]

i dunno why they'd reset everyone

[normal galleon]

still, kinda expect him to reset everyone to 0 and reset the leaderboard (I hope he resets the leaderboard and builds in a safeguard against cheaters)

[ember rose]

i'd rather not have the total cash be reset but if he can find a way to fix the leaderboard that'd be cool

[normal galleon]

pretty easy way to solve the leaderboard issue

as PirateSoftware said, store the value in two places

One visible to the player and one not visible

expose the one visible to be seen in cheat engine

while the other is hidden within other values

then, if a player edits the value they can see with cheat engine, the game will cross check the values between the one the player can see and the one that is unexposed

and if they are not the same

the player gets banned from the leaderboard and put on a cheaterboard and can ever go back to the normal leadeboard

problem solved

Lots of games are starting to do this

[ember rose]

oh neat

[normal galleon]

oh sick

[ember rose]

this is why i'm stocking up pretty much

[normal galleon]

Nice Nice

[ember rose]

usually just short single sets in double or nothing

although tbh if i'm only doing single sets i should probably do story, should be more money

[normal galleon]

probably easier aswell

[ember rose]

The clean 70k! Nice!

[normal galleon]

nice!

[ember rose]

2.5 million saved up

I wonder if the multiplayer update will bring more achievements

[normal galleon]

I would assume it will

[ember rose]

Nice

[normal galleon]

atleast one for playing with 2 or more people

[ember rose]

I think a fun little achievement would be one for using the inverter twice in a row
call it 'changed my mind' or something

[normal galleon]

Just called it "Invert the Inverted"

[ember rose]

I like that

[normal galleon]

I might just make a batch of custom achievements and share em, see if Mike notices them

[sharp sonnet]

The cannon amount

[ember rose]

Go for it, I’d like to hear ideas

[normal galleon]

@ember rose Here are my ideas. (responding to mike so he might see this without directly pinging him, so it's a shadow ping I guess)

[ember rose]

500 doors

My god that’s a lot

[normal galleon]

dedication

[ember rose]

How long do you have to hold the shotgun for the 4th achievement there

[normal galleon]

idk, like a minute

just sitting there, holding it and doing nothing

[ember rose]

That’s funny

[normal galleon]

could even lead to a funny easteregg if you do it for like 5 minutes

where the dealer just takes it and shoots you

and you restart

[normal galleon]

@ember rose here are 3 more.

The first one is if you pick up the shotgun for 5 minutes while doing nothing, so just sitting there waiting to shoot but not shooting

The second speaks for itself

the third is an easteregg towards "The Usual Suspects" where Dean Keaton takes an awful lot of time before taking a briefcase with money

[ember rose]

The second one is only possible due to the bug in story mode yeah?

[normal galleon]

yes

and mike could make a hook in the code to check for when it happesn

could be a funny hidden achievement if he never fixes this bug (which I hope he never does)

[opal knot]

250 games won

[normal galleon]

Noted, one second

[opal knot]

yes

[normal galleon]

[rich badge]

These achievements look pretty funny lol

[normal galleon]

Hence why I hope mike sees them and maybe implements some of them

[normal galleon]

The counterpart to this one

[rich badge]

I wonder if someone has made a meme combining the “500 cigarettes” meme and buckshot roulette yet

im not an expert in how cheat engine works but is it actually possible to fully hide the other value from cheat engine

[ebon grove]

I just realised

We might get a lot of cheaters when multiplayer would came out

[normal galleon]

Yes, but it's more fun to punish people who alter the value then to fully hide it

[normal galleon]

Yes

[rich badge]

I need to see it

Pretty please

[normal galleon]

If you had looked further than your nose, you would have already found it yourself

I don’t know about the 500 cigarettes but I saw the “‘multiply a random value in your game by 100” thing on Twitter which looked pretty similar

Me watching the Dealer gain 500 charges smoking this abomination:

[rich badge]

The monitor just explodes trying to deny all the excessive extra charges

[normal galleon]

Hahaha imagine

[idle venture]

It'd actually be a fitting achievement for trying to heal when your defibrillator is disconnected.

[lofty wharf]

TIL dealer cant use medicine more than once per turn

[normal galleon]

True. I put a few in #│server-feedback so let's hope Mike likes some of em

[lofty wharf]

pro buckshot tip: There's a lot of times where it's better to let the dealer live even when you have 100% chance of killing him, if you're on the carryover round

[grave void]

very unique stylistic if i do say so myself

[fallow cobalt]

just staring down at your friend/dealer menacingly

lmao you could just ask your freind then "Heads or Tails?"

[outer oriole]

[magic lotus]

Personally the shotgun barrel is more attractive it really be looking at me with cute eyes

[summer fractal]

Okay now I'm convinced we all need therapy

[spice whale]

Did another 3 playthroughs of Buckshot

Very nice

[cosmic spade]

FELLAS WE FUCKING DID IT WE GOT GAME THEORY ON OUR SIDE!

The password might actually get solved

Matpat is pretty good at deciphering stuff dunno about the new guy tho

[cosmic spade]

I don't that's weird

[plush spire]

i bought buckshot roulette on itch.io 211 days ago
now i see a steam version.. is there a way to get the steam version for free if i bought the itch.io one
or do i just pay for the steam version

[cosmic heron]

you must pay again

[plush spire]

fine

[drifting niche]

Yeah

[dusky birch]

GAME THEORY nicee

it dragged me here actually

[drifting niche]

!cat

[cosmic spade]

What does the cat command even do

!cat

Why do people keep saying cat tho

[granite fern]

Because of the !cat text on the phone in the Volta site

[cosmic spade]

Oh yeah I forgot

[limpid jewel]

in the words of the announcer at the Games Workshop Golden Demon event in the year 2000:

Staff to battlestations please - we are about to be swamped by a wave of humanity...

[cosmic spade]

Ye

[winter geode]

cost 2$, I will send donation probably to the devs

meanwhile Nintendo price 60$ for dead games

[limpid jewel]

it's basically because the steam API provides better multiplayer tools and cheat prevention than a solo dev can reasonably implement in a reasonable time frame, but it comes with restrictions on pricing and such.
(I actually bought it on Itch after I bought it on steam, primarily so could pay a but more than Steam and ensure Mike got a better cut.)

[plush spire]

cheat prevention? is a singleplayer game

[tight sage]

Is this were we can psot ideals for the arg solution?

[pliant willow]

#│brainstorming

Grab the arg role

#│roles

[tight sage]

Thought I did but it didn't show anything new so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

[limpid jewel]

for the multiplayer I mean.
yeah, for single player, that aspect is pretty moot for anything outside of speed running.
The steam version will have multiplayer though, enabled by the steam dev API.

[winter geode]

The game use libsteam_api with can help a lot with development and maintenance.

I think

[plush spire]

im really not updated there multiplayer now?

[cosmic heron]

Nope

[winter geode]

that would be sick

[cosmic heron]

There’s mods though

[winter geode]

cool

gonna invite a friend for that

[limpid jewel]

it's in progress, it's one of the intended functions of the Koni terminal in the bathroom.

[winter geode]

someone ported the whole game on web online

oh, I can't swear

I admire someone copying the whole file of a game, port it on server for free and then get a cash from adds

Sounds like good way to get deal with copy laws

[plush spire]

Whatever im going to sleep goodnight

[limpid jewel]

that's due to a combo of godot decomp tools and Godot being able to export to JS and webgl.
it's basically a pirated copy of the game that they can shove spam, crypto miners or other malware into though, so I wouldn't trust it. if they're eating the cost of hosting a hyper-affordable game, there's likely to be some other way that they're getting money out of it, not necessarily a respectable or respectable way either..

[winter geode]

gonna need to learn that for next CTF tournament, it's true that porting the game like this is not necessarily hard.

Just find it funny law is ok with it, either way it runs on east servers or the devs don't deal that much about piracy.

If it was just one section, but it's the whole product.

I think

[limpid jewel]

it's still a pretty nasty move, but no, the law isn't ok with it - pursuing legal repurcussions is just rarely cost effective for a solo or smaller dev.

especially at the price Mike and CR are charging for buckshot,

[winter geode]

Author of the site is from Iceland, I don't want to share a link but it is easy to google it

[limpid jewel]

don't worry, I know the one - their Google-Fu is suspiciously effective.

[winter geode]

I think if we wanted we could do an report on that, not sure how far you can get to shut it down

[limpid jewel]

not really, it's been reported to Google constantly, but sadly they don't do much about it's rankings.

[winter geode]

Not google but the service who is hosting it

[limpid jewel]

getting their webhost to co-operate is best done by a lawyer, then you get the cost problem and you're stuck playing whack-a-mole with whichever host they move to.

basically it's cheaper for them to keep switching then than it is to keep filing notices.

[winter geode]

yea, probably the best would be trying to find who's the author and then publicly showcase of his crimes.

I'm not capable of that.

[limpid jewel]

even then, it's largely just free publicity for them

[winter geode]

ohh, yea....

[hollow siren]

preface: this idea comes from the thought the name 'Erikson' and 'Äriksön' are similar

the idea: Erikson is a surname meaning 'son of Erik' if VOLTA made the Äriksön phone this would make VOLTA Erik and the name Erik means "eternal ruler, ever powerful" making VOLTA either and eternal ruler, ever powerful, or both this seems to be a connection to Uzziah

leap of logic: if VOLTA is Uzziah and VOLTA exists in buckshot roulette then by use of a logical leap it is possible that buckshot roulette takes place in a universe where Uzziah (maybe CEO of VOLTA?) lived after God(?) died to the dealer and thus had no punishment (leprosy) for what he did

end: do i think this is true? maybe, maybe not? only time will tell.

ps: i am sorry if there is an arg/lore discussion channel i couldn't find it. this is the first msg i have sent in the server and if it has been discussed before i am also sorry

[median hamlet]

Welcome~!

[uncut yarrow]

ARG discussion channel is called "brainstorming" ! It's opened after you register the "ARG Kittens" role :D

just scroll to the bottom of the channels after u get the role !

[cosmic spade]

Koni äriksön is a nod to the sony aricson

[hollow siren]

well yeah but things can have more than one meaning especially when something is hidden

[cosmic spade]

Yep

[gilded thistle]

[winter geode]

Is there a name for that robot thing that gives the player money when they win?

[spice olive]

hi! is it normal to win the first time you play

[agile rapids]

it's not abnormal 🤷‍♂️

game isn't that hard, esp if you're not doing Double or Nothing

[opal knot]

I didn't lol, but yeah it's possible

[sleek sedge]

yeah, it happened to me the same

[fallow cobalt]

when I was playing game for the first time, I litereally had a piece of paper next to me so I can write and calculate how many live rounds there were and what was the % of me dying to one

[lament wagon]

[fallow cobalt]

"ah 2/5 are live? Welp thats 20% more likely to be blank" shoots thyself

[sleek sedge]

for some reason when i think like that and then shoot myself it's always a live round

[fallow cobalt]

Thats very sadly

[sleek sedge]

[fallow cobalt]

I lovr streaming me playing the game and then when the odds are in my favour shittalk the dealer in estonian and then curse when it fails

Me when 70K starts playing:

[idle mural]

Ok, imma throw this out of anyone here cares about the ARG password.

Not only are there 9 rings in Dante's Inferno, there are also 9 spheres of heaven. (Now realizing that there's 10 because of the Empyrean)

With the paper signed by someone claiming to be "God", this could have some significance...

...

I think Rita likes to see us Lorefinders suffer...

[winter geode]

Not liking it, just can't say more without giving the game I think

[versed ore]

Bobbin! Good to see you good sir

[versed ore]

10 in the inferno too. The center is what people overlook

[idle mural]

Fair

[winter geode]

howdy pat o7

[idle mural]

Took a look at the Wiki for Dante's Inferno and the ninth chapter talks about the circle of Wrath, specifically the city of Dis (and/or Pluto)...

More specifically, the Furies that threaten it

For reference, chapters in this are called "Canto"

3 Furies, and Medusa...

[versed ore]

I got the book right here

[idle mural]

Oh, nice!

[versed ore]

The 9th circle has several Cantos

Or chapters

But also has several rounds

[idle mural]

Interesting...

[versed ore]

Can I dm you with a quick question

[idle mural]

Sure

[versed ore]

That was for bobbin. I have something for you though

[idle mural]

Oh, ok

What is it?

[versed ore]

Satan is called Dis

[idle mural]

Interesting.

[winter geode]

Go for it

[idle mural]

... Now as I think about it, the nature of the game leads us to the circle of Greed/Avarice, the 7th Canto...

[winter geode]

@versed ore incase you didn't see, DM's open

[versed ore]

I did thank you

[idle mural]

Ok, I've moved on from Dante's Inferno, and now I'm doing the partition Matrixes right now

Well, only the final one.

...
Actually, nevermind, I could be thinking about it too much...

... Another word for Greed is "Avarice"

In Latin, that could be Avaritia...

Imma try Avaritia when I get the chance.

[idle mural]

Update:
Avaritia/AVARITIA/avaritia doesn't work...

Greed/GREED/greed doesn't work

Avarice/AVARICE/avarice doesn't work

[fallow cobalt]

Hey mate, yk there is a channel for the ARG? Go to #│roles and get the arg kitten role to get access to #│brainstorming

[idle mural]

Oh, thanks

[ember rose]

Generally recommended to almost never shoot yourself

Especially in story mode

[tall heart]

Thanks for this cool gif CR

Love it

[ember rose]

What is this

A remote of some kind?
