Why cant we all forgive one another for this and move on? it will cause nothing but pain hurting one another for this. Can you all not bury the hatchet?

[rain mango]

you are now an accomplice to murder

[sterile iris]

idk what gas did or really care. just know every encounter i had with him was pleasant 🤷‍♂️

[naive flicker]

If you're not gonna interfere then its for your own safety

[rain mango]

[reef robin]

i will look into this, thank you

[naive flicker]

I also wouldn't tell anyone because i just want to avoid any trouble and do my thing

[sterile iris]

i think it's literally what you and i were talking about a few minutes ago. gas (a person who used to be in this server) still lives in some people's heads rent free and that sucks :P

whether it be good or for bad 🦤

[fading niche]

Yeah!

Also like all of your what ifs fall completely flat at the fact that he tried to contact us to apologise for in his words, his own actions

[naive flicker]

But hey, no need to discuss this for like two hours, it's better to stop

[fading niche]

If he apologised why do you still hate him?

[sterile iris]

i'm over it before it even began lol

[reef robin]

thats crazy lol talking about someone that isnt even in the server anymore

[rain mango]

he doesnt live in my head rent free

[last spoke]

Because it was a shit apology and I don't need to take it?

[naive flicker]

Even before the problem between you and him he was mistreated in my eyes. It's not only that

No, he along with a friend (who frankly if anything was probably a fall guy) impersonated another user (us) to ruin our reputation and get us banned from the community because of a personal gripe he had with the fact we exist happily

non-specialists dont have to suffer when im around

[bronze moat]

3.3 I think? 3.5 dropped last october.

But the CORE of stable diffusion is all open source. The ethics of it’s use comes down to where it looks up data, what models it uses, etc.

In GENERAL terms, most of the models people upload for training can be sus, cause you don’t know exactly how they build them.

Personally, I make every effort to stick with open source or personally created things.

Problem is there is almost ZERO diversity. Every face is going to look the same

Might just be hardware issue and making sure resolutions are set correctly

It’s literally coded to be unable to look up anything with a copyright.

The core software is coded to avoid it. Same as with it being unable to produce NSFW images. It can’t.

Users themselves (or companies) override this with the models they use or instruction sets.

That’s where things get murky.

@vale briar yes You are correct. “Garbage in = garbage out”.

It’s why training data matters

[vale briar]

Mhm? What exactly does training data entail? I haven't kept up on AI generation for over a year, because of it's general usage being largely negative in it's usage by the average user.

[burnt kite]

The AI centipede. An AI shits something out, another AI consumes this shit, and shits out another turd, another AI consumes the turd, shitting out another turd and so on

[bronze moat]

Same as photo shop.

Same as mac paint in the 90’s.

Same as S.A.M. In 1982.

We can discuss ethics like crazy, but in the end, it’s the general consensus of society that determines ethics.

Ultimately most of the global population simply does not care.

NO ONE cares that Darth Vader is an AI creation in all the new star wars movies.

He’s not voiced by james earl jones. His voice is all AI based on Jones voice pattern.

80% of all Disney produced media in the last decade contains AI created content.

I’m not promoting it. I am staunchly against most aspects of it’s use: I.e. I don’t think chatGPT should exist.

But ultimately not enough people care

[bronze moat]

Photo copies of photo copies!

[bronze moat]

If your talking still images, then you can train on ANY image.

Take 40-100 selfies. Tell the AI “this is me”. Train it on your photo’s.

It will then compare and contrast the location of your eyes, hair color, skin tone, etc. etc.

Then produce images based on that data.

The unethical side is when you say “train on images from the internet” because then it will seek out images from people and places that may not be open source.

[vale briar]

Makes sense. What do you have to say about the, "pollution machine." aspect that Aly brought up? Is there any way to make it less resource intensive, so it doesn't effect the environment quite as much?

[graceful dust]

sounds like an excuse to be part of the problem

[bronze moat]

IMO people like elon musk are just after money. They don’t care about anything else in any capacity.

So things like ChatGPT are NOT trained to “think”. It just goes with what is popular.

Hence glue goes on pizza. Because that answer was POPULAR.

You must provide fact checking to avoid poisoned data. That requires ethical humans inputing factual data.

The devious fellow:

[vale briar]

Yeah but that doesn't answer my question re: pollution. I'm more talking about uh

Aly is saying that AI Art machines generally produce alot of pollution due to the fact that they are physically resource intensive. Energy, primarily, is a major factor in the creation of AI art and, in it's present form, means that AI Art generators tend to create alot of physical pollution outside of the "polluting the internet" sense. Are you making any efforts to lessen that effect, or are you aware of anyone trying to do so?

This is honestly a really interesting question, and not something I'm knowledgable in, but I can still browse the webs to see what kinda things might be affecting this :P
What I've been reading just now (though keep in mind these are secondary sources, with some varying information) is a notable portion of chatGPT's carbon output is from the general costs of managing the datacenters needed to process users requests, as in electrical costs and water cooling requirements. There seems to be a lot of buzz online about it so I'd reccomend to do some looking too and maybe y'all can catch something I missed. Makes me think of etherium/bitcoin mining and what effect that had on the environment

Real talk tho i have no idea what your point was

[quiet egret]

guys heads or tails

[hexed canopy]

Heads

[dawn spade]

You said it like it explained everything but it just... didnt

[bronze moat]

SHORT version.

The big dipper is a mother. Her son is the little dipper.

Zues had a baby with a mortal. He was a child king. Best hunter EVER.

When discovered, Hera cursed the mother, turning her into a bear.

The boy hunted bears.

His mom, in bear form saw him in the woods and ran up wanting to hug and kiss him. He saw only a snarling bear.

Just before his arrow killed his own mother. Zeus obliterated them. Creating them as the Big Dipper and Little Dipper.

2,000 years ago, the big dipper the mother, never touched the ocean. These days it dips into the ocean “hence it’s name as the dipper”.

This is because Hera cursed the mom saying “you shall never drink of my water”.

Sad story. But very poetic

[quiet egret]

it landed on tails but im going to do it anyway

[dawn spade]

Tldr pls

[bronze moat]

That IS the TLDR version lol.

I just summed up like 200 pages of a story

[hexed canopy]

I thought Artemis was the best hunter

[dawn spade]

Its still too long

[bronze moat]

She is. She was also a friend of that boy :3

[hexed canopy]

Why did Zeus bang them

[bronze moat]

Is why it’s the short version. He hung out with Artemis and Aphrodite.

Zeus bangs mortals cause he’s a jerk who cheats on his wife

[hexed canopy]

No, why did he obliterated them

I know Zeus bangs

[bronze moat]

Major typo. Fixed.

The son fired an arrow at his mother, thinking she was just a bear.

He one shot kills everything he shoots.

Aimed for her heart.

So instead of letting her die by the arrow of her son, Zeus basically transformed them into the stars

[dawn spade]

Zeus just fucks, i the tldr could of been "zeus" and honestly itd be enough

[hexed canopy]

Okay that's cool

Nah it was, historically in terms of religions, Zeus is the result of many “king gods” being combined and merged by believers over centuries

This led to insane numbers lmao

[frosty tulip]

Genius, will definitely work, never been tried before

[bronze moat]

More of his own character and morality. He’s a jerk. Even all of greece viewed him as such.

The patron gods of greece were not Zeus, but his children like Opollo.

Zues is the angry, mean, bitter god you worship because you must. Not because you WANT.

People followed Dionysus because they loved him. Same with Opollo and Artemis.

[pale berry]

Against austrailia

The root of ALL war

[restive pollen]

I’m talking outside of myth, historically why hes like that

[runic eagle]

Hey is engie broken?

Cause I don't have any recipes

[hexed canopy]

Didn't hector pray to Zeus for them to win the Trojan war tho

[spring oyster]

To be fair, a fairly large part of this is a misconception due to roman authors, especially Ovid, having a tendency to reimagine consensual relationships as nonconsenting, which led to a distorted view of Zeus' character for later ages. The older Greek sources portray Zeus in a more romantic and less, well, nonconsentual way.

[rigid bolt]

hapyy 3024

[bronze moat]

If you look at the greek gods as having personality traits just like people, it’s often best to view it as a relationship with a bad marriage.

Zeus snuck around Hera’s back. But would do as she said when it may shame him or make him look bad in public.

Same with Athena. He does things for his public image and ego, not out of love for humanity.

[frosty tulip]

Great idea, give us every country and territory to end all wars, it'll work

[pale berry]

No we'll invade you

[restive pollen]

[bronze moat]

The “valve mansion” (owned by a top member of valve studios) had alpacas and emus. They are soooo friendly. They let you pet them!

[frosty tulip]

This user is spreading propaganda for the emus.

[dawn spade]

Same as cassowaries. Every one hates on cassowaries coz they have a big spoopy horn

They just friendly little birds man

[frosty tulip]

but ye nah, emus generally aren't that hostile

they just look a bit freaky

[dawn spade]

They do look pretty freaky

[bronze moat]

Emu’s will 100% cuddle with you. Just stinky like an ostritch.

Like BAD bird poopy smells

[dawn spade]

Iv never got into a fight with an emu. But being a bird, i imagine they have shitty bones and prefer running away

[frosty tulip]

the main thing is just don't provoke them, but that's with so many animals tbf lol

[dawn spade]

I think people just underestimate themselfs

I could confidantly fuck up a raccoon, i dont get why people start screaming

[frosty tulip]

Well maybe the average hunter-gatherers were good at this stuff, but most of us aren't really prepared for going against wild animals.

especially since emus are actually quite tanky

[dawn spade]

Have u seen there neck

[bronze moat]

Most emu’s are tame if raised on a farm with humans who interact with them.

They are about the same temperment as a horse.

Seattle has a LOT of emu in it.

I’ve cuddled a few :3

[dawn spade]

One good throat punch and there gonna be upset

[frosty tulip]

But keep in mind, what if it's a flock

emus aren't always alone

[dawn spade]

Well if its a flock than u run away

[frosty tulip]

emus are fast

Im talking about being scared of a fight u arguably should be able to win

10 emus is alot

[frosty tulip]

Better to be scared of a fight and avoid it than be cocky and get your ass handed to you, look like a complete fuckup or worse.

[bronze moat]

1 emu vs. 1 boi with stick? Emu wins

[frosty tulip]

plus ik for a fact I'm 100% not winning that fight even against a lone emu

[dawn spade]

Idk. I like to imagine myself in a cage match with animals, and them just being god given the will to go toe to toe with me, rather than running away

[spring oyster]

There are no antibiotic pills in nature, so most animals want to avoid even a scratch

[dawn spade]

Thats where god comes in, they just do it.

[frosty tulip]

imagine versing a horse though, good fucking god.

It'd be over.

[dawn spade]

I feel like i could survive a horse, but not win against one

[frosty tulip]

Are you sure?

[dawn spade]

Idk how they attack other than back kicks

[spring oyster]

oh, most animals would give a human a really rough time, we're built for endurance, not bursts of power

[frosty tulip]

pretty sur ea horses kick can rupture your organs

their legs are incredibly powerful

[spring oyster]

if the animal was determined, I'm not sure I would give a human good odds even against a donkey

[dawn spade]

Yeh. If it hits i die. I just, i feel like getting hit is optional tho

[bronze moat]

5-10% of grown ass men think they can win a fight against a grizzly bear.

People ALWAYS overestimate their ability to fight animals.

A single emu can jump 2-3 feet in the air, hurl its neck backward (to defend itself) and kick you hard enough to shatter your entire chest cavity and collapse your lungs and rupture your heart.

One shot any human they kick.

Emu vs. human? Emu wins

[frosty tulip]

you could easily die, you could also survive but it won't be pretty provbably.

Plus you'd have to count on getting close enough to land a hit on the horse without it just kicking you.

while it's pissed off that you're attacking it.

[bronze moat]

Emu feet also have claws/talons…

if the kick does not kill you, being disemboweled will

[spring oyster]

A lot of animals, I think if you can get behind them and choke them, or something like that, you can manage, most of em will tap out from exhaustion before us... but tanking them head on is gonna be bad news for us

[dawn spade]

And even if u do land a hit i dont think it would actually carem

They can tank your shitty little punch

[frosty tulip]

well yeah but it's easier said than done you know?

[spring oyster]

Yeah I don't think a horse would even register anything you can do to them short of having at least a club or better

[frosty tulip]

You can make up all these plans on how you'd do it, but good luck actually managing to pull that off

[dawn spade]

I do think its probaly fair to bring a short knife into the fight

[spring oyster]

Oh I agree, but that goes for both sides

[dawn spade]

We wernt built for fighting, now claws, shit teath

[frosty tulip]

Well yeah but either way it's still a super dangerous fight, that could fuck the horse up, but also you gotta get close enough and avoid their leg.

[dawn spade]

I have 0 expectation of beating a horse, i feel like your stuck on the horse.

[frosty tulip]

I guess I'm beating a dead horse so to speak

[dawn spade]

I think i could probably choose to not get hit by one of its attacks coz its attacks are clunky. But thats it, thats the besti can do.

[bronze moat]

OH. MY. GOD. I just read the “Great Emu War”.

Emu’s KILLED 4 dudes armed with machine guns…

Either way, thankfully we rarely if ever would be in these situations, you're more likely to die from the animals that you don't expect.

[dawn spade]

It didnt kill them

[frosty tulip]

pesky mosquito bastards

well to be fair, that's usually in countries where mosquitoes spread fucked diseases

[dawn spade]

They ran out of ammo and went home

[worn iron]

bro why do i need lvl 2 carpentry to move a fucking a bed

[spring oyster]

Great Emu War is one of the most hilarious wars in history

[bronze moat]

Wait… oh yeah no fatalities

Aussies are epic lol

But damn….

[dawn spade]

Great emu wars only funny and cool until you actually read the details and realise it was a meme even at yhe time

[frosty tulip]

nah I'd say there's a funnier one, that one war that didn't even last an hour

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Zanzibar_War

[bronze moat]

2,500 rounds of ammo. 200 ish emu’s killed

[dawn spade]

There were too many emus, and world war 2 had just ended, blow off steam, deal with over pop, and just generally raise the nations mood, they sent some guys to gun down emus out of a truck

[frosty tulip]

like could you imagine hearing about a war, going to sleep then you wake up and people are going "the war is overr"

[bronze moat]

Look up the “straw hat riots” of new york city.

HUNDREDS DEAD.

Cause: wearing a straw hat out of fashion season

[dawn spade]

Turns out they dont really appreciate loud as cars driving at them and shooting, and also turns out, shooting a machine gun out of a moving truck is hard. Very few kills

[frosty tulip]

ww2 just ended?

this was in the 1930s

[dawn spade]

Maybe it was ww1

Idk, it was the end of a war tho

[frosty tulip]

that was still like almost 15 years before the emu war

[bronze moat]

Emu war was november 1932

[dawn spade]

Then they made a bounty on emus coz, emus really were a problem memes aside. And the poppulation killed many many thousands of them over not that much longer.

[frosty tulip]

it was more to just to cull an animal that had been causing trouble for farms

now the efforts are more against getting rid of the cane toads.

Which very likely won't work, cause they breed out of control

[dire timber]

should of used shotgun c:

[bronze moat]

Look up the “pig war of 1859”. Full scale war almost broke out between Britian and America over the death of a farmers pig

[dawn spade]

They tank too well, big floofy feathers, alot of meat, pellets dont do much to them

[dawn spade]

I vaguely know about that one

Havent heard it in a while tho

[bronze moat]

They can shrug off almost ALL shotgun pellets cause of the floof

[bronze moat]

Straw hat riots are a fav of mine.

Gangs of new york style combat in the streets. Blantant acts of homocide.

All over wearing a hat out of season

It aligns with my history papers and general outlook of “people are dum, and with fight over anything”

[surreal locust]

whatchall talkin abt

[dawn spade]

That one iv never heard of

[dawn spade]

Just silly conflicts

[bronze moat]

New york city. Straw hats were fashionable.

It was tradition to knock the hat off of someone if worn out of season.

Things turned violent one year.

Literal riots and murder.

Over straw hats worn out of season

[dawn spade]

Jesus lol

[bronze moat]

Hence one of my college thesis being “people are dum and will fight over anything”

[surreal locust]

Hey i gotta ask ive seen u type for few days, and the way u type is unique as hell, is this like an autism thing orrr?(not in a rude way i swear 🙏)

[bronze moat]

Absolutely autistic

[surreal locust]

Thank god

if it wasnt i feel like i was gonna get banned or sum

[bronze moat]

Late life diagnosis tho.

[surreal locust]

fair

my family thinks i have a little bit of the tism

but i havent checked

[bronze moat]

Get tested EARLY.

It’s insanely hard to test for it after age 20

[surreal locust]

I got 2 more years than

[bronze moat]

Better to know than not know.

Seriously.

Not knowing effed up at least 20 years of personal relationships of mine.

Knowing would have helped

[surreal locust]

Now that u are diagnosed do you look back and think "dam It was really obvious"

[bronze moat]

Yep

[surreal locust]

If you dont mind me asking, How did finding out ruin anything with your friends, i feel like even if i found out now id just go on with my life, then again im not very educated of the topic

[bronze moat]

In the 80’s I was the hyperactive gifted kid in school who scored grades as high as college kids.

In the 90’s I was the ADHD goth kid.

I was not diagnosed with anything other than ADHD and hyperactivity for a good 30 years of my life

[surreal locust]

I can relate to that, My entire family has ADHD but i was the only one that didnt get it at birth so ive been dealing with living with people that have adhd my whole life

[bronze moat]

Autisitic meltdowns are a real thing.

Getting mad, coming across as a rude douche bag.

All very real things.

If I repeat myself 3 times? I can get into asshole mode big time

[bronze moat]

I’m classified as high functioning btw. And I still got serious issues

[surreal locust]

I get pissed having to repeat myself, but never to that extent so

[graceful dust]

i dont super recommend seeking dx for anything u dont need healthcare or support for cos woof it is so difficult to get anything done if u have certain conditions on file

[surreal locust]

Idk what high functioning means by definition but im assuming it means more severe?

[frosty tulip]

Nah, the opposite.

[bronze moat]

Could be adhd. Could be autism. Could be too much caffeine and too little sleep.

Is why diagnosis is important.

90% of people on the internet claiming to have ADHD or even autism are just using it as a buzz word

[last spoke]

🟣People like to think it means capable of functioning to a higher degree, what it really means is that neurotypicals don't feel as bad ignoring it because "Oh they're fiiiiine"

[surreal locust]

I do agree that with enough fire power humans can take down even bears but you realize that a bear can tank multiple high caliber rounds if it doesn't hit anything vital, and you gotta take into account that people will no longer be accurate when a bear is charging at them, well at least most people wont be accurate .

[bronze moat]

“High funcitoning” = I can function in society.

So I don’t freak out badly enough to do things like bang my head on a wall.

Some people with autism and/or Asburgers cannot function in society in healthy ways

[frosty tulip]

lmao assburgers

[surreal locust]

Ahh makes sense, I apologize Im not super aware of all the terms etc

[frosty tulip]

it cool dude

not everyone knows this

[bronze moat]

No need to apologize. I’m the old crazy man on a mountain top always happy to share my wisdom

[frosty tulip]

I myself am diagnosed with severe but seem to come off as somewhat high-functioning.

[bronze moat]

LOTS of autistic people also cannot communicate things.

Like a kid who is non verbal is not going to be able to talk about his stimmy’s or what his triggers are

[frosty tulip]

well I don't think my diagnosis thing exactly asys severe, it says some other term, I just forgotten what

[surreal locust]

Now that u mention it thinking abt things u said yesterday makes your autism more obvious.

This really resonated with us, like, the fact we're medicated for ADHD does not mean we will stop being affected by ADHD, it just makes our actions more palatable for society

medication is like... tricky... cos yeah adhd meds r not the right support for everyone but theres straight-up no medication for autism

[bronze moat]

I can legit be a pain to work with at times lol.

I’m 100% a task master when I am asked to help.

Want help modding Skyrim? I got 20 steps to follow, one by one, and I expect those steps to be followed 😂

[vital marten]

That ain’t too bad

[surreal locust]

ahah i get it, Im just remembering yesterday about how you said stuff like "I like to leave Emergency packs around the place incase i need to bug out"

[bronze moat]

Some meds trigger psychosis.

Is why proper diagnosis is needed

[frosty tulip]

thankfully vyvanse works pretty gud for me

[bronze moat]

That’s also just cause I play zomboid like a life simulator.

What would I MYSELF do in an apocalypse

[graceful dust]

again i dont think ppl should seek dx for things if they dont need support for it. autistics & ppl with down syndrome had DNRs placed on them against their will a few yrs ago, medical records u wanna be careful what ends up on there

like i cant even get an iron supplement cos my docs keep looking at my endocrine disorder

[surreal locust]

I get that, Me personally depending on which zombie apocolypse i would just end myself

[frosty tulip]

yeah give up instantly? Samesies

[bronze moat]

State of decay is SUPER FUN

[graceful dust]

adhd med? ive heard good things abt that one, i think

[last spoke]

We have had our ADHD diagnosed, but we've yet to put anything on paper in terms of autism. We're not looking for any official diagnosis because A, we don't need treatment, and B health insurance is already enough of a bitch, stacking an Autism diagnosis on top of ADHD, Depression and Anxiety will not help our chances.
But like, a score of over 140 on the RAADS-R and spending time with diagnosed autistic folk who are pretty confident with "peer reviewing" speaks for itself

[surreal locust]

That games been rotting in my library for MONTHS, along with dead rising 3, Ive just never wanted to play by myself and the mf that was supposed to play with me was always busy.

[graceful dust]

yeppp to me trying to get a dx is just seeking specific types of support. if u dont need treatment or social services u dont need a dx

[bronze moat]

Well state od decay is perfectly playable single player.

And the difficulty settings are legitimate. If you play on the easier mode, you can run around and survive and build a community of survivors, then move onto the harder difficulties.

That’s actually how my whole thing with Roxy started.

She was my favorite survivor in state of decay.

Her death legitimately shook me up.

Then, when I got into Zomboid I re-created her and she’s been my most favorite role-playing character of my entire life

[vital marten]

Is there a new SOD in development?

[bronze moat]

Yep. Part 3. 2025

[vital marten]

Thought so, I’ll hold off on my purchase..

[bronze moat]

Fire zombies tho….

[vital marten]

Looks to be a really fun game though

[bronze moat]

Only reason I don’t play it much anymore is because of this game.

The gameplay lube is nearly identical, just third person mode

[last spoke]

The reason Autism seems to be a "new thing" that's popping up a lot more than it used to is because it didn't used to be called Autism, it used to be called "That fella Benny ain't never talked much, but he's real good with the livestock so we put 'im to work at the ranch and he seems pretty keen"

[graceful dust]

or schizophrenia

[surreal locust]

Yea, I more or so meant i dont wanna play because honestly I find most games boring on my own now, I can barley make it a month in a project zomboid character before i get bored out of my mind, Its just as ive gotten older, games arnt as fun wo someone to play wit

[bronze moat]

You hunt down food, take it back to your base, keep your community fed.

Grab parts and materials, bring them back to your base to upgrade, keep your community alive

Basically you’re Rick grimes

My PZ Server remain small also, but I’ve got four players now plus myself

🟣People like to put things in boxes

[surreal locust]

Also just to make things worse is, i live in oceanic time zones so finding people to play with is difficult so i either have to play alone or play on American severs and just lag out of my mind.

[graceful dust]

so bad at it tho

[last spoke]

🟣If something doesn't fit, just make a more specific box

[bronze moat]

I started playing games back in the days of the Atari 2600. The first console I ever got was the original NES, but I was poor so I got that when the super Nintendo first came out.

I’ve always been involved in video games in some context

I don’t longer work directly in the video game industry though. I had to step away from that.

[graceful dust]

its wild to me theres basically like 5 dif types of bipolar & they keep adding onto it

[bronze moat]

It’s like music!

In 1990 you could go to a record store and there was four types of music

Now even punk rock has 20 varieties

[graceful dust]

it kinda goes either way

[clear carbon]

You know, there is something I do not understand about Subnautica, supposedly guns and weapons in general are banned from the fabricaton data base cause of a massacre incident but you have a thing called a stasis rifle that stops targets from moving, mf you can just pause 20 people at the same time and slit all their throats for an even more terrifying effect than a gun massacre

[surreal locust]

I havent fallen out of love of games or anything just losing to spark it once had for me ig 🤷‍♂️

[graceful dust]

its also weird trying to find support for bipolar

[bronze moat]

We’re always trying to classify things to better explain it to others, as well as better deal with things.

It’s in our nature

[frosty tulip]

Probably could be because even if could be used as a disturbing weapon, it'd have a lot of other uses as a tool.

[heavy ivy]

the world tries to put me in boxes and i am a sphere

[graceful dust]

is it bipolar or not? well its ummm its bipolar123 & 456thymia...

the dsm is not valid ❌

[bronze moat]

Oh I get that. I used to really enjoy shooters. I was in high school win the game DOOM first came out. It blew our minds away.

These days I absolutely hate shooters with only a few exceptions.

I also grew up, watching anime every single day after school. These days there’s only a few specific titles or genres I enjoy.

Like I legitimately, do not enjoy attack on Titan. Watched every episode. Don’t like it.

[graceful dust]

i think my dad is losing his mind over this cat

[surreal locust]

Idk what to do, I have other hobbies but gamings been a huge part of my life, So idk if im just clinging onto hope by only finding fun with other people or 🤷‍♂️

[clear carbon]

Well guns are very useful from detering anything from killing you in a survival situation and would feed you very well

[frosty tulip]

Well yeah I'm just thinking of random explanations tbh, just seems like they didn't want gun fabrication in their game and tried to think of a story reason to explain that.

[quartz rampart]

Happy new year everyone and especially towards the team behind developing project Zomboid

[bronze moat]

Honestly, sometimes he needs me to take breaks.

Like a lot of people with autism, I can hyper focus on some thing But that can lead to burn out.

I used to play payday 2 every single day. Or dead by daylight every single day.

Hundreds and hundreds of hours Skyrim? At least 3000 hours.

Dark souls? Probably 6000 hours……..

But taking breaks is important

[frosty tulip]

God I gotta get around to playing subnautica below zero one of these days

[clear carbon]

They are against the concept of owning guns but they made a weapon far more terrifying but it's okay cause it isn't an object that works by shooting bullets, it's an energy bolt that literally freezes you in place so you can see the guy slowly walk up to you to slit your throat

[bronze moat]

The first game is so amazing… I got it on launch day

[clear carbon]

I heard it ain't as good as the base game

[frosty tulip]

Yeah I'd just have to imagine the only explanation is that the statis gun has such a wide array of tool usage that no other tool can rival that they sort of have to keep it.

[surreal locust]

Yea ig, I realate to all of those games except skyrim, Ive always heard the rage abt it but never played it to this day, I probs have over 10,000 hour across all those games except skyrim, maybe thatll be my new hyperfixation 🤷‍♂️

[bronze moat]

Genuine input without spoilers. If you completed part one, the gameplay loop is identical, so you’re going to end up speed, running the first chapters of part two without even realizing it.

Because it’s exactly the same game mechanic of picking up pieces of copper, and throwing them into your replicator

[tropic briar]

Happy new years!!!

[frosty tulip]

Like a dead space plasma cutter situation, an extremely disturbing weapon that could easily dismember limbs or kill someone, but it's so good at it's main function (cutting rock/minerals) that they gotta keep using it

[finite briar]

Happy New Year

[bronze moat]

Well, PZ definitely got my attention. It hits all the weird stimmys.

I hate the Sims I hate Minecraft.

But zombies are my favorite video game genre

Mixing all three? It hit something in my brain.

[clear carbon]

Dead space plasma cutters make sense, plus you get actual guns in that game. But for me their reasoning is stupid

As in Sunbnautica's reasoning

[bronze moat]

Plus, I’m a role player at heart and I get attached to characters. So once I got Roxy to live for a year? I build a very genuine sense of accomplishment.

[frosty tulip]

I just don't think there's many ways you could really explain that tbh, at least they tried.

the real explanation would just boil down to, they didn't wanna design guns for the game.

didn't wanna let u go rambo on the whole ecosystem

[bronze moat]

Subnautica lore is that all weapons are outlawed except for things like a knife which are a utility

[surreal locust]

Definitely, pz has been one of my favorite games, The mods just elevate that experience. But again ik im missing out on sm cuz i dont have the attention span to get past a month

[frosty tulip]

Well yeah it's more that how disturbing the statis rifle could be.

Cause if you get frozen in statis, easy as hell for someone to come up and kill ya.

[clear carbon]

They tried poorly, I'd have just said that weapon blueprints are irrecoverably damaged and the armory of the ship was hit by the planetary gun so all the weapons were vaporized without the chance to recover any data from them

[open tangle]

GAPPY NEW YEAR EST PEOPLE

[frosty tulip]

tbh never really a thought for me, wasn't really too invested in subnautica's story to be honest, not really invested in a lot of games stories.

except my baby disco elysium

[sour coral]

Happy New Years from the East Coast!

[bronze moat]

When it comes to acknowledging a behavior in yourself, it’s super important not to drag yourself down because you can actually hyper focus on that and then make the symptoms worse.

So if you’re noticing that sometimes games get boring or you don’t really know why? Don’t try to overthink it. Just take a break.

Literally take a break go watch a Marvel movie or something even take a nap. Don’t feel obligated to sit down and play a game.

You’ll actually be surprised of how naturally you then just pick it up a day or two later and get right back into it and enjoy it

[clear carbon]

For me the story has to make sense cause I mainly look for a good story in games

I also like colony managment games too tbh

[frosty tulip]

It's the opposite for me, cause I can really enjoy a game with a shit story, but generally can't enjoy a game with a great story but shit gameplay.

cause I'm usually more in it for the gameplay

[ruby river]

hi chat, i havent seen you all year!

[karmic jetty]

ben rye the science guy

[bronze moat]

Plus, ultimately the entire intent of the game was to explore and look at all the pretty things.

I’ve driven around my planet for so long and built so much stuff I don’t want to leave.

Even found the Markiplier bobble heads

[karmic jetty]

zamn chat is been a year

[surreal locust]

Your 100% right about allat but I do take super long breaks, and come back and i still just get bored on my own which is weird cuz its not like i have experienced everything there is, I just think that i need to find a friend group to play wit, cuz again ive played for years on sum characters when i used to play multiplayer, appreciate the advice tho ill take it into consideration.

[clear carbon]

Gameplay is like the third down the line for me in my game criteria, first is story, second is the sound, third is gameplay fourth is graphics

[surreal locust]

Feels like its been a few months

[karmic jetty]

we can now legally say that b42 came last year

erm b43 when

[clear carbon]

B43 coming 2099

[frosty tulip]

A decent chunk of the time I'm usually more invested in the lore/world-building than the story with the characters for a lot of games tbh. Like Half Life.

I don't give a rats ass about the characters but I love the lore for it.

[clear carbon]

Lore is part of the story to be honest

[ivory grail]

It a new year. Can we get a real zombie apocalypse.

[frosty tulip]

Well yeah, but I more just mean I care more about that part than the characters generally.

I care more about the background stuff going on u know?

[clear carbon]

That feels weird to me tbh, but you do you my dude

[frosty tulip]

Yeah that's fair, because also imo it's crazy to me that you value story and sound more than the gameplay, but hey, different opinions u know

[clear carbon]

I will eat you with some fava beans and a nice Chianti

[frosty tulip]

Like I don't mind a good story and sound, it's just I'm more in it for the gameplay

[tall glen]

BLAH

BLAH I SAY

[frosty tulip]

but that also could just be down to me playing so many games that look like fucked excel spreadsheets.

[tall glen]

dwarf fort?

[frosty tulip]

actually have yet to do that, always gotta get around to it.

[tall glen]

hey it has graphics now

not just ascii

[bronze moat]

For me, it depends on the game. I play some games strictly for the combat, action, and Soundtrack.

Other games, I will sit down and never once fast forward through a cut scene, because I want to experience the story over and over again

[graceful dust]

see i dont like those so much as i like making spreadsheets abt games that arent spreadsheets

[frosty tulip]

god I love spreadsheets

excel is my baby

[bronze moat]

Like I legitimately, do not care about the story of halo or master chief, or any of that. I just want to blow stuff up.

Space marine? I want to know the story line.

I got emotional at the end of space marine 2. Soooo good
