[dim cloak]

Oh... mid-game or end-game?

[toxic relic]

maybe you should just fail

[dim cloak]

or post?

[quartz plank]

Oh wait actually the evil one isnt awakened

[heavy ivy]

kerfus creature

[dim cloak]

So you're safe then.

[loud pumice]

Evil kerfus is coming

[quartz plank]

It declared war on my ally

Sometime.ago

Though

even though its dormant

Humiliation war, but still

[toxic relic]

why this sitting position

[dim cloak]

Was your ally bordering the fallen empire?

[quartz plank]

yeah

[dim cloak]

Most likely it was for tribute, bc that ally pissed off the fallen empire

tribute/retribution

[quartz plank]

2434

So post end game

But end game crisis hasnt happened yet

the mid game crisis has though

Gray tempest

[icy vigil]

[dim cloak]

I was about to say, how tf are they still dormant

[quartz plank]

I took care of that recently

Assembled a full fleet of stealth frigates and tiptoed right to the nanite factory

[dim cloak]

gray tempest... Can't say I'm familiar.

[dim cloak]

ah. That

[quartz plank]

basically killer nanites

Yeah

80k fleets

And 140k factory

the stealth tactic is the way to go unless you can somehow handle multiple 80k fleets

[toxic relic]

https://tenor.com/view/lore-game-gif-1488407205528895054

[quartz plank]

Once you wipe out the factory they all disappear

It was surprisingly easy to beat the factory once i got there though

[graceful dust]

idk whats going on but this reminded me of kingdom hearts

[toxic relic]

the gif or chat?

[dim cloak]

Yeah, I've been lucky that mine was either unoccupied, free for the taking thanks to the L-Gates, or occupied but I made sure to disallow anyone from going into the system they wanted to keep me away from

[graceful dust]

the gif, i have kh ultimania & kh character files under my desk rn. could literally be me

[toxic relic]

damn

i never played it

[graceful dust]

theyre fun games

[toxic relic]

i dont know

i cant get passed disney characters

larping

[dim cloak]

what's your end-of-the-game year set to? default?

[fair yacht]

feels so good to be home

[toxic relic]

and im a larping man

[quartz plank]

yeah, so 2400 right?

[dim cloak]

you said that like 5 hours ago lol

[toxic relic]

but goofy

[quartz plank]

heres my empire btw

dwarves

[dim cloak]

I think so... or 2500 I can't remember rn

[quartz plank]

2500 is the victory year

[dim cloak]

yeah, that's what I meant

[quartz plank]

oh right

end-of-the-game not endgame

[graceful dust]

u would think not but when ur into its like very... like... idk theyre not disney characters to me in this context

[quartz plank]

dwarf build is really strong

[dim cloak]

can you show me the galaxy?

[quartz plank]

economics wise

[graceful dust]

thats not donald & goofy michael mouce's friends thats donald & goofy soras gay dads

[quartz plank]

but im still learning the confusing research system

[fair yacht]

i need to get back into this

[toxic relic]

i can see this

[mossy gulch]

Could anyone tell me how to build the high fences?

[toxic relic]

i still wont play it

but understandable

[fair yacht]

im pretty sure my last game i made a empire based off Melromarc from shield hero

[quartz plank]

the gray tempest messed up the borders a lot

[graceful dust]

mostly ariel tho cos idc abt the little mermaid actually but the role ariel plays in kh's story is so good

[quartz plank]

the gray theocracy near me is my vassal

[dim cloak]

wdym? the species portraits, for the most part, are just aesthetics only. Unless you choose Lithoid or Machine

[graceful dust]

summoning her into other worlds in kh3 >>>>>>

[dim cloak]

can you show me in Union mode?

[quartz plank]

and the blue empire on the left side pledged secret fealty to me

cant do anything about it though since thier overlord is in the federation

the one with the FE

[toxic relic]

theres so much game lore in chat

kingdom hearts and stellaris

[graceful dust]

OH ITS STELLARIS

[toxic relic]

you can fill libraries

[fleet marten]

[dim cloak]

Trust me, Stellaris has no lore

[toxic relic]

you r the lore

[dim cloak]

yep

[graceful dust]

convo makes 1% more sense to me now

[toxic relic]

i play it but not sweaty

[fair yacht]

stellaris is fun

[toxic relic]

indeed

[fleet marten]

[dim cloak]

jeez, so many factions...

[quasi slate]

can you go out into the void (i have never played the game)

[toxic relic]

thank you for your contribution to cnat

[dim cloak]

nope.

[toxic relic]

i have never seen u bfo

[quartz plank]

there are some secret systems that arent in the main galaxy thing

[dim cloak]

there are some hidden systems in the void tho

[dim cloak]

like in the corner, where the Grey Tempest used to occupy

[quartz plank]

nah i made a whole dwarf build

subterranean origin, warrior culture and masterful crafters

[toxic relic]

generic

[quartz plank]

the subterranean origin allows me to not build as many city districts

[toxic relic]

why not make them scholars

or botanists

[quartz plank]

and, every 3 mining and industrial districts give me a building slot

[toxic relic]

https://tenor.com/view/book-of-grudges-total-war-warhammer-dwarfs-dwarf-vengeance-gif-19626646

[quartz plank]

because im not a giant pussy

[dim cloak]

Yeah but you can get, I think, 14, with world size alone

[quartz plank]

rock and war

[toxic relic]

uno reverse

youre using generic archetypes

thats weak

[dim cloak]

you can get the rest with research

[toxic relic]

also erm many warriors of ancient times were poets too

[quartz plank]

im sorry i didnt make the glorpazorp pacifist xenophilic tree hugger empire i'll do better i promies

[toxic relic]

since they trained the mind and body

[quartz plank]

yeah, the ones who were pussies

real men have no time for scribbling

[toxic relic]

so all of them

[quartz plank]

real men mine and beat eachother to death

inbetween

[toxic relic]

the reason a lot of people got into 'warrior classes' was either slavery or to get a better income a d education

or be gay

[dim cloak]

I've made an empire called the USSR, the Union of Soviet Submerged Rebublics, once. They were a oceandwelling, Machine-Cube race that called themselves the Soviet species.

[toxic relic]

i c

[quartz plank]

my next empire will be a spiritualist one

i wanna try that

[toxic relic]

[quartz plank]

im thinking a halo covenant type

[toxic relic]

but you wont entertain historical accuracy in your scifi fantasy

[dim cloak]

You mean the ruined ring world origin?

[quartz plank]

on the shoulder of giants seems like a good origin for that

shit that might actually be a better origin

i havent looked into it thoguh

[dim cloak]

ah. that's kinda fun actually.

[quartz plank]

shoulder of giants is about uncovering your precursors ancient stuff through arceology and allat

[toxic relic]

so scholars

[dim cloak]

The thing is most of the archaeology sites are in your starting system

[toxic relic]

academics

[quartz plank]

and the covenant in halo basically does that

while also being fanatically spiritualist

[toxic relic]

you are the thing you despise

[dim cloak]

Try creating a unique government type

[quartz plank]

last i checked im not discord user stinkname snakeass

[toxic relic]

unfortunate for you bud

[quartz plank]

might be wrong though

[toxic relic]

im an interesting man

[neat moat]

im saddened that I missed stellaris discourse

[quartz plank]

i tried spiritualists before

[toxic relic]

u can still yap

they still talking about it

[dim cloak]

No I mean combining specific civics to make unique govt's.

[quartz plank]

the game before this i made a human spiritualist xenophobe empire with the cybernetic creed

origin

was fun

but

[neat moat]

Not much to yap about. Devs need to fix their war system and creat internal politics

[quartz plank]

it makes the species tab a pain in the ass to deal with

yeah the war system is the onl thing i dont like about stellaris

[toxic relic]

internal politics would be fire

[neat moat]

just play synthetic if you don't like the species tab

[quartz plank]

so i quit in like the midgame

or not even

[quartz plank]

i didnt know the cybernteic creed would be so annoying though

as that as my first tame

time

[neat moat]

Synthetic ≠ cybernetic

[quartz plank]

i just played the generic human faction before that

yeah i kno

[mint folio]

It's pretty easy to unify the factions for Cybernetic Creed, you just have to put up with their whining

[dim cloak]

do you have all the dlcs, or the subscription?

[quartz plank]

all the dlcs

[neat moat]

Governing ethics attraction isn't usually a problem for me

[quartz plank]

i actually didnt pick any of the ascension perks like cybernetic psionic etc. this time and im nearly at th eend of the game

because i didnt know what to pick and what would fit my dwraves

so i just didnt

[neat moat]

Cyborgs

[quartz plank]

im not talking about the factions. im talking about the species tab

[mint folio]

You can take the genetic purity civic or whatever it's called to avoid having to ever take an ascension path

[neat moat]

Either purge or synthetically accend

[toxic relic]

https://tenor.com/view/booyah-cyborg-teen-titans-aw-yeah-we-did-it-gif-2244968112191686138

[neat moat]

it's not that hard

[quartz plank]

with cybernetic creed theres ritualistic implants, faction implants and cybernetic traits

[dim cloak]

with mega corps, try combining the Gospel of the Masses and theCorporate Death Cult civics. It creates a Sacrificial MegaChurch.

"This government blends its commercial and spiritual goals within a grim oligarchy, in which ordained overseers encourage greater prosperity through ritualized sacrifice."

[quartz plank]

which make a bunch of subspecies

to convert the species to a template, you need time and research

[mint folio]

Ohh, yeah, once you unify all the factions or take one side everyone automatically converts to that faction implant trait

[neat moat]

Synthesis ascension assimilates all your species into 1

[dim cloak]

Yeah, I prefer to get Cybernetics manually, rather than being forced into it.

[quartz plank]

but before you convert, pops will get other implants making other subspecies

[neat moat]

No?

[quartz plank]

you just said cybernteic isnt synthetic though

[neat moat]

Yeah

I did

[mint folio]

Are you talking about that trait that automatically adds traits for jobs?

[quartz plank]

i think youre confusing cybernetic with synthetic

[neat moat]

Have you ever done any of the accetion paths before?

No I think you are

[quartz plank]

cybernetic creed adds implants that pops get on their own

through buildings

i now realize i could probably just disbale those buildings

but i realized too far in

and didnt wanna deal with 5 subspecies

and converting al those

[mint folio]

Those all go away at the end of the Cybernetic Creed event line

[neat moat]

Right, but that's for the cybernetic path. The synthetic path you have to complete a specal project to turn your population into robots

Im guessing you went down cyborgs

[quartz plank]

yeah but im talking about the cybernetic path from the beginning

not only cyborg path, but with cybernetic creed

[neat moat]

And I said you should have went with synthetics if you didn't like the species tan

tab*

[quartz plank]

yeah but im still taking about cybenetics

[mint folio]

You can delete subspecies that have 0 members too btw

[quartz plank]

i know

and i know that goes away at th eend

[neat moat]

Which in that case you must purge

[quartz plank]

but it was just annoying

its badly implemented

[neat moat]

A planet cracker is your best friend in this

[quartz plank]

tbh

[fleet marten]

[neat moat]

at least you didn't go xeno compatibility

[mint folio]

Best way to get the achievement for having members of your own starting species as protected animals in a zoo right there

[quartz plank]

why cant i just pick "convert x species into y" and have it be automatic over time?

instead of having to issue a project every time

[neat moat]

I think you can

You need the automodding trait/tech though

[quartz plank]

nope

[neat moat]

but that was implemented after I feel off from stellaris

[dim cloak]

That only partially works

[mint folio]

You can get the ascension perks that speed up the process for converting pops to a different template, then delete the old template once there's 0 members, but that's the only way afaik

[neat moat]

Yeah I haven't encountered it at all even

[quartz plank]

anyway

[karmic jetty]

u turn the left card into the right card

[dim cloak]

It creates new subspecies, but doesn't automatically convert them

[quartz plank]

cybernetci creed fun

[neat moat]

I keep saying to purge and crack planets

[quartz plank]

in theory

shit in practice

not ever doing it again unless they reimplement it

[mint folio]

It also helps if you micro every planet you have and enable forced growth since you can have a perfect miner species you designed but some middle of nowhere planet you own will keep trying to grow the species you modded them from

[neat moat]

no

nobody has time for that

unless you're tall

[jovial latch]

Hello chat

[mint folio]

I play on x .05 planets with x 5.00 pre-FTLs so that's a given lol

[jovial latch]

meow meow meow meow pl

[neat moat]

I see

[dim cloak]

Yeah, try the Scion origin sometime. Creed'll look so much more appealing

[neat moat]

Ive started trying to play wide and I can comfortably get 30 or so planets

[quartz plank]

i have 14 planets rn and i can manage them pretty well

unless im not preoccupied with war

[mint folio]

Cybernetic Ascension as a Hive Mind goes hard if you're both wide and tall

[dim cloak]

Rookie numbers. Try 50. or 100.

[neat moat]

How can you both be wide and tall

[quartz plank]

maybe i'll try cyernetic ascension once

[neat moat]

It's not that I can't, its that I refuse to

[quartz plank]

sometime

but definitely not with cybernetic creed origin

[mint folio]

Small sector of core planets that you develop personally, everything else is AI managed and you ignore because the AI can't develop anything

[dim cloak]

I typically subjugate my neighbors, and annex them eventually through... negotating the deal.

[quartz plank]

i have mostly dwarves in my empire

[neat moat]

I prefer vassals or alliance members

[dim cloak]

It works exponentially

[quartz plank]

with a savanna world sector for Belmacosan species

[dim cloak]

No, I offer them vassalization

[quartz plank]

planthoids

[neat moat]

I got bored of being the bad guys so I stared playing the good guys

very fun

[mint folio]

Payback origin, my beloved

[quartz plank]

my current empire is not god or bad

[dim cloak]

I try to avoid war as much as possible. I rarely declare war myself

[quartz plank]

authoritarian and fanatically militarist sure

[neat moat]

Broken shackles and shared burdens is a new favorite of mine

[quartz plank]

but not really comically evil or fanatically good

[dim cloak]

I never enslave, even when xenophobe.

[quartz plank]

ive never tried slavery either

my empire rn has stratified economy

[mint folio]

Slavery sucks until you get Thrall Worlds

Those really change the game if you're playing aggressively

[quartz plank]

because when making the empire i was thinking of the dwarven caste system in Dragons Age

Orzammar

kingdom

[neat moat]

I tried slaver guilds with technocrats and syncritic evolution. Not a great combo sadly

[dim cloak]

I've done a authoritarian fanatic xenophobe game, and know how annoying slave revolts are. Like I give all species full citizenship if I can, or at least residence.

[neat moat]

will definitely change my play style

[quartz plank]

my next halo covenant inspired faction will be stratified economy too i guess?

the covenant had different classes

[neat moat]

Neve had a slave revolt myself

[dim cloak]

Include synthetic as a Fanatic Spiritualist

[quartz plank]

i guess oligarchy too

[neat moat]

I got close, once. Nothing ever happened

[quartz plank]

i dont think the covenant practiced downright slavery though

[mint folio]

Man I did a F. Auth Xenophobe run last year and it was painful, the entire galaxy hated me because I didn't want anything to do with them

[dim cloak]

You just need more... charisma.

[quartz plank]

yeah i wanna play as a xenophobe some day but i feel like it would be boring

[dim cloak]

And no fanatic purist.

[quartz plank]

no alliances? diplomacy?

just war?

thats half of the game gone

[last spoke]

https://www.tumblr.com/noellevanious/772692735358599168

[neat moat]

You mean fanatic purifiers?

[dim cloak]

Nope I allied and was very diplomatic. you just gotta butter them up a lot.

[mint folio]

Lemme see if I can still get into that save, my entire position was painful

[quartz plank]

of course if youre not fanatically xenophobic you can still engange in deplomacy

[dim cloak]

Make them friendly

[quartz plank]

but that is wrong for me rp wise

[neat moat]

No unless you have a specal civic fa xenophobes can do diplo

[quartz plank]

i like to pick the rp choices in games like stellaris

[dim cloak]

wdym, unless you're fanatic purists, you can still engage in diplomacy.

[quartz plank]

stellaris is essentially a empire story generator

[neat moat]

dont forget pompus purists

[quartz plank]

yeah but it irks me RP wise

[neat moat]

Or inward perfectionist. But they can both do some

[quartz plank]

i think isolationists cannot do diplomacy too?

[heavy ivy]

you predicted this well scarf

[dim cloak]

The thing is, fanatic purists will actually like you if you're the same species, even if you aren't part of them, if they didn't form via civil war

[hybrid crow]

im new to this server, but have been playing zomboid for awhile. What do yall think of echo creek?

[mint folio]

https://i.imgur.com/p63zceK.jpeg that was where I was at last time I checked, even though I was winning the war numerically I was losing because their alliance was massive and took less war attrition

[neat moat]

FPs either stomp or get stomped

[mint folio]

But yeah I had 2 planets total, had to go super tall

[neat moat]

thats rough

[dim cloak]

I meant before you get to that point.

Like early-game.

[stiff geyser]

Most boring place in game right now

[mint folio]

https://i.imgur.com/MhVsXsg.jpeg

As you can see I was very unpopular lmao

[dim cloak]

I made a Fallout 1 Super Mutant-based empire with the One Will Origin. Ath F. Xenophobe.

[last spoke]

I tend to be right about things

[quartz plank]

heres my game

[heavy ivy]

the streak hasn't been broken yet :P

[quartz plank]

the gray tempest caused so uch bordergore

i hate it

[mint folio]

Oh wait

[dim cloak]

And was able to conquer the galaxy via diplo AND fleet size.

[mint folio]

I just remembered why I was so unpopular

[neat moat]

You using mods?

[quartz plank]

did you ever become the galactic emperor?

[mint folio]

I went Corporate Protectorate, Criminal Heritage and Letters of Marque

[quartz plank]

me?

[dim cloak]

Yeah. But I didn't like it

[neat moat]

yeah

[quartz plank]

just ui ones

[neat moat]

or is it consol

I see

[stiff geyser]

Chat I'm really enjoying Subnautica. Very late to the party but I still love it :D

[quartz plank]

and a namelist mod

[dim cloak]

I also play on IMM.

90% of the time I play on IMM. except in MP.

[quartz plank]

for dwarf names from warhammer

i play ona lower resolution, potato pc

[dim cloak]

How far are you in?

[quartz plank]

so i got mods to make the ui more compact

[dim cloak]

I got the dynamic UI but that's about it when I'm playing vanilla. I still play IMM even in heavily modded runs tho

[quartz plank]

dynamic ui doesnt work on smalle resolutions sadly

its made for full hd

[dim cloak]

Also my pc can barely run pz without tons of either lag spikes or crashing entirely

[quartz plank]

b42?

[dim cloak]

and lower resolutions make it hard to see anything. I normally play in either 1366x768 or 1270x720

[dim cloak]

both

[quartz plank]

or just in general

damn

how do you run stellaris then

[dim cloak]

both B41 and 42

[dim cloak]

probably bc of the optimization

[quartz plank]

i have a potato pc that arely runs stellrais but i ran PZ playably before b42

[stiff geyser]

I fixed the aurora and watched the sunbeam arrive at the planet. I haven't explored any caves yet

[quartz plank]

yeah there were fps drops and i had to lower the settings a lot but like 30-40 fps is enough for me in pz

[dim cloak]

I never said I couldn't run playably.

[dim cloak]

Have you encountered any reapers yet?

[quartz plank]

well, crashing and cosntant lgaspikes doesnt sound evry playable

i had fps drops but never crashes

[narrow rune]

A. J up to up to to up to bus bhrkotihhhiyutinhdd red dj full

[quartz plank]

so real

i agree with you

100%

moe for presiden

t

[narrow rune]

Wow ok racist

Smh

[quartz plank]

huh

[dim cloak]

the lag spikes drop my fps to 20 and under, but I can run it at 60 most of the time. and the crashes only really happen on the Day/Week One mods

[narrow rune]

I don't know

[quartz plank]

oh you have better pc then

[narrow rune]

I'm not hxbs wjbzbshhw when a was I see a ic flight ash hmm ask if Dr DM he as he so c co in so no on a go

[quartz plank]

i never reach 60 in pz

[dim cloak]

It's fairly old but it was mid-to-low-range in 2019

[quartz plank]

yeah i have an out of date laptop

thinkpad x1 carbon gen 3

[narrow rune]

I eat out of date laptops

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1092213297765429350/1302112171500638229/him.gif

[quartz plank]

no gpu, intel hd graphics

[dim cloak]

ah. Yeah that's old

[quartz plank]

the biggest problem is the lack of dedicated gpu really

because i cant even start some games

mainly games on the frostbite engine

[dim cloak]

4 × Intel® Core™ i3-9100F CPU @ 3.60GHz

[quartz plank]

or UE

i have an i5

i5 4300 u i think

is your pfp aflag by the way

or just random

[dim cloak]

oh shit that was made in 2013. I had to look it up but

[dim cloak]

Yeah but not a irl one

It's the flag of the Imperian Empire, from a mod I made for EU4.

(just with a micro eevee attatched for a reason I will not go into rn)

[quartz plank]

Ive never played eu4

Played plenty of ck2 though

[dim cloak]

It's more intensive than stellaris

[quartz plank]

I had a plan to run a megacampain from ck2 to eu4

[dim cloak]

both in gameplay and graphics

[quartz plank]

Using the save converter

[dim cloak]

CK2 is far harder to learn imo

[quartz plank]

But im using ck2 plus overhaul mod

So i doubt that will work with the converter

I need to play some other nations in CK

[dim cloak]

it will. I've seen a ck2 to eu4 to hoi4 megacampaign.

[quartz plank]

All ive ever played is tribal poland

And ragnar lothbrok

[heavy ivy]

POLAND MENTIONED?

[dim cloak]

I've seen a ck3 to eu4 to hoi4 as well

[dim cloak]

The inflation furry I see

seriously tho, Pyro's hilarious

[quartz plank]

Yeah but im using an overhaul mod

[dim cloak]

yeah, it'll work

It just won't have any custom flags

that's how ck2 to eu4 works already

[heavy ivy]

he has reached peak autism on my favorite polish horror game of all time and im so happy

[dim cloak]

and ck3

[quartz plank]

the ck2plus mod adds more land though

And religions

it adds india iirc

[dim cloak]

I found him bc of... huh. I can't remember.

[quartz plank]

Or expands it

[dim cloak]

yeah, that part, idk then

[quartz plank]

It adds a lot that can mess with the converter

Oh and new cultures

I wish there was a game like ck but in space

You know, with focus on characters and lineage

[icy vigil]

[quartz plank]

Dynasties

[quartz plank]

whats up sharky

whats got you gray with red eyes

all sad and shit

[icy vigil]

Nothing

[dim cloak]

yeah, that's not possible to conver then. EU4 has a custom nation dlc but you can't make new religions or cultures, or a unique flag. you can only make one based on preset symbols, color combos, and flag orientation and designs

[icy vigil]

Im always like that

[quartz plank]

liar

[icy vigil]

Ur the liar

X2

[quartz plank]

i would never lie to you

[icy vigil]

😳

[icy vigil]

🫂

[dim cloak]

Void said it first so you're the biggest liar

[icy vigil]

Yes well

[icy vigil]

Youre a liar +infinity

[quartz plank]

rollins band reference????

Damn now i wanna listen to some music

[stiff geyser]

Not in this save

[dim cloak]

Void said it first still so you're still the biggest.

Ha!

[quartz plank]

I dont know if my pc can handle running stellaris with a browser at the same time

[icy vigil]

Doesnt matter

[quartz plank]

Though

[icy vigil]

Plus ill add a period to mine

Liar.

[quartz plank]

im truly the illest hustler

[icy vigil]

Gg2ez

[quartz plank]

period girl, slay.

[icy vigil]

[karmic jetty]

wat

[quartz plank]

you're so cunty

[karmic jetty]

[quartz plank]

what the fuck does cunty even mean

[dim cloak]

I got the response from Suction Cup Man tbh. "Fuck you." "Fuck you!" "Fuck you times 2" "Fuck you times infinity!" "I said it first so you're the most fucked!" "Damnit."

[icy vigil]

Wat

U never argued like that as a child?

[dim cloak]

this

[dim cloak]

nope

[quartz plank]

i regret my actions i didnt put a coma please forgive me for party rocking

[icy vigil]

Man

U missed out

[dim cloak]

back in my day

[quartz plank]

hey whats your problem man.....

[dim cloak]

raspy old man voice intensifies

[icy vigil]

Zeerol hates us commoners

[quartz plank]

fuck another rollins band reference

and i made it too

[dim cloak]

I missed out on like 90% of a typical childhood.

[quartz plank]

damn

[icy vigil]

This is discrimination

[dim cloak]

I've never had a "best friend" and still don't.

[icy vigil]

I had multiple

But they all left

[dim cloak]

I've had good friends but that's as far as I've got.

[icy vigil]

[dim cloak]

I've never flirted with a girl (or guy) let alone dated before.

despite being 26

[karmic jetty]

yo why my cat so stinky

[dim cloak]

bathe them then

[icy vigil]

Why zeerol stinky

[dim cloak]

But I didn't come here to trauma-dump, at least not rn

maybe tomorrow

I will say this tho

[karmic jetty]

this

i said it first

[dim cloak]

I doubt any of you have done it, but I used to have to play board games by myself. My parents never played them with me before. Same with video games. My greatest wish is to play a single video game with my dad, for 30 minutes.

Just. 30.

[icy vigil]

[dim cloak]

How I feel after admitting that

Way to go zeerol

I have been successfully shamed by my friend into cranking the difficulty and hiding the rolls

[karmic jetty]

y u do dis

[neon bramble]

am getting vibe checked by the knolls but that is ok since death is a learning experence

[neon bramble]

hiding rolls is pretty fun though

hmm yes I will attempt to intimidate a fucking owlbear

is this a good idea? is it even possible? who the fuck knows! only one way to find out

[quartz plank]

damn, thats tough man

[karmic jetty]

i should do that when i can install bg3 again

[quartz plank]

I warched my dad play far cry 2 and 3

He played for some time and i played for some time

i had to leave the room during the citra scene though.

[neon bramble]

I am well versed enough in dnd 5e at least to know my way around the class system

so I already know what I want and not getting vibe checked too hard

[quartz plank]

bald mans gate

[neon bramble]

my girl just needs to survive until level 6 or 7 so I can unleash the power of my last actual dnd character

its very hard to fuck up a character in dnd 5e rules unless you multiclass badly

[karmic jetty]

[icy vigil]

Zeerol, u eat bugs?

[quartz plank]

even worse, a ceo

[dim cloak]

It's Karl's world. We're just Karling in it

[quartz plank]

im surrpised the word ceo isnt a mute

[past ingot]

The average person eats 7 spiders in their sleep average per year

[quartz plank]

the last name of old joe was a mute around the orange shooting

[karmic jetty]

erm ackshually thats a myth

[dim cloak]

🤢

[icy vigil]

Ahckshully, spiders arent bugs 🧐

[karmic jetty]

there is no evidence or scientific proof of that quote

[quartz plank]

spiders are homies

[icy vigil]

Zeerol u eat bugs?

[dim cloak]

yeah, they're arachnids. but I still don't wanna eat em

[quartz plank]

spiders arent as deadly as people think

there hasnt been a death from spider bite in australia since the 1970s

[graceful dust]

thats what ur mom said last night. i guess shes an entomologist or something

[past ingot]

Yeah because watching is scientifically proven to change data

[ruby river]

[quartz plank]

the number of spider types that can actually hurt a human let alone kill one is very low

[past ingot]

Bill Nye the Actor Guy....

[karmic jetty]

spider i hardly know er

[quartz plank]

in the whole world theres less than a 100 species

that are deadly

[past ingot]

Do you know how hard it is to kill a human?

[heady basin]

why we talkin about spiders

[past ingot]

Fuck I can't even kill me

[heady basin]

idk man, we do it all the time

[quartz plank]

because i like spiders

[heavy ivy]

spiders are fun :3

we have a spider in our system

[quartz plank]

and spiders like me

[dim cloak]

We all have at least 7 per year, according to cardholder

[quartz plank]

[quartz plank]

spider funfact: theres a spider species that eats plant

[heavy ivy]

[past ingot]

No I'm catholder

[quartz plank]

spider fun fact 2: there is a spider species that looks like an ant and mimicks ants

but is actually spider

[rain mango]

[dim cloak]

Spider fun fact: Fuck spiders even daddy longlegs'

[heady basin]

[icy vigil]

HMMMM

[quartz plank]

spider fun fact 3: theyre in your walls

[heady basin]

[quartz plank]

spider fun fact 4: theyre in your skin

[heady basin]

bat guy

[dim cloak]

True. Hence why I hate em

[heavy ivy]

just become a spider, you wont fear them as much after

[dim cloak]

Who said I fear em?

[past ingot]

Idk I'm afraid of myself

[dim cloak]

I have soooo many spiders, just wandering my house

[quartz plank]

i release every spider i encounter so an arachnophobe somewhere loses their shit

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-alpha-wolf-alpha-wolf-the-weak-should-quiver-gif-17759401881362908244

[past ingot]

I've been bitten like 5 times in The past 2 years sleeping

[heady basin]

this is the kind of chaos i strive to achieve

[dim cloak]

I just decided to a mutual agreement. I ignore the spiders. They ignore me.

[last spoke]

Come meet Beesoup
They got

Nondescript Dragon
Shadow creature
Deer thing
Pider :3

[dim cloak]

I've killed a ton of spider crickets tho

[quartz plank]

the what?

[heavy ivy]

:3 diverse and silly :3

[past ingot]

Tf is a spider cricket

[quartz plank]

i only kill flies and mosquitoes, fuck em

[dim cloak]

Beesoup?

[quartz plank]

cant stand them

oh and ticks

ticks get burned

[last spoke]

Beesoup

[quartz plank]

preferably

to ensure its dead

[heavy ivy]

the bees (this discord user)

[past ingot]

Parasites are reincarnated scumbags.

[last spoke]

I sometimes call 'em soup gang

[quartz plank]

we need them though

part of the food chain and allat

[past ingot]

Why?

[dim cloak]

I want to go failed-artist-mustache-man on Stinkbugs. legit wanna erase them entirely

[last spoke]

Why?

[quartz plank]

i dont think you can erase an entire species without it affectins others

[karmic jetty]

why bugs stinky

[heady basin]

this is what i say to people all the time

[last spoke]

Bugs, Beetles, and everything else of the sort play a vital role in the ecosystem

[past ingot]

Yeah well it either balances itself or parts get deleted until it's balanced

[karmic jetty]

all shall be consoomed in time

[icy vigil]

Bugs killed my nephew

[past ingot]

The only thing absolutely vital are bees.

[quartz plank]

animals eat flies, flies also help with corpse disposal
animals eat mosquitoes, male mosquiotes also pollinate flowers

its not as simple as deleting a whole species because its inconvenient

[past ingot]

I've never heard that

[heavy ivy]

SOUP CAN

and yeah, the little critters are real important

[last spoke]

Honeybees are actually terrible pollinators

[quartz plank]

theres a bug i forgot the name of that has mosquitoes as one of the main parts of its diet

[past ingot]

Tell that to farmers and scientists....

[quartz plank]

i can probably imagine theres another creature that eats the mosquito-eating bug

[past ingot]

Mosquito hawks

[quartz plank]

the only animals we should eradicate are the invasive ones

[last spoke]

They're the ones that say that.
So many other species are much better at pollinating.
Honeybees take more than they need and don't spread it around like other, better pollinators

[dim cloak]

They do nothing for the environment. they have no natural predators, even where they came from. petty reasons? they make a loud, distinct (at least to me) noise when they fly. They release their horrible stench when they feel even slightly threatened. I have to pick them up with a piece of paper and fling them into the toilet whenever I see/hear one. They stink EVERYWHERE they touch.

[quartz plank]

and thats on a regional scale

[ruby river]

can february march?

no, but april may.

[past ingot]

Mosquito eagle?

[quartz plank]

ive encountered a stinkbug once

disgusting

[dim cloak]

I have soooooooo many reasons, mostly petty, to despite the concept of stinkbugs

[karmic jetty]

august september

i hardly know er

[quartz plank]

there was a festival in america that got swarmed with them

literraly whole cars covered with them

[last spoke]

Okay so you're slightly inconvenienced.
And this is justification to wipe out an entire species how?

[quartz plank]

burning man festival i think

[past ingot]

Probably next to a corn field

[dim cloak]

Visit maryland during the winter. You'll encounter them soooo many times. mostly in cramped areas

[past ingot]

I don't believe they would show up at burning man. That's deep desert

[karmic jetty]

mmm corn

[dim cloak]

Most people feel the same about Mosquitoes, although they spread horrible diseases.

[past ingot]

Is telecorn still a thing in b42

[quartz plank]

google festival stinkbug i cant rn

post a pic too

[past ingot]

I'm too lazy

[quartz plank]

its crazy

[dim cloak]

plz don't

[quartz plank]

et tj

[karmic jetty]

we are all corn on the cob called earth

[quartz plank]

et tu, brute?

[past ingot]

I've seen it happen with ladybugs

[quartz plank]

ladybugs are stinkbugs too, right?

[past ingot]

No

[quartz plank]

i know they release a mild stench when threatened

though

[past ingot]

I don't think so... unless it's bug shit smell

[quartz plank]

they look for warm places in the winter to die after they lay eggs, trust me they do

i've had my whole window swarmed with them

[dim cloak]

I legit thought this meant "And you, brute?" Not the person, Brutus. just a brute in general

[karmic jetty]

always knew void is a bug

[quartz plank]

had to vacuum them

[dim cloak]

these. these are some of the reasons

[quartz plank]

ladybugs are cool though

they eat mites

[past ingot]

You go out with a power washer. The vacuum steals their eggs.

[quartz plank]

mites eat plants

plants protected

[past ingot]

And aphids. And spider aphids which eat weed

[quartz plank]

gardener happy

[karmic jetty]

imagine seeing a ladybug or a beetle when ur like the size of ant

they must be like tanks

[quartz plank]

ants would absolutely fuck up a ladybug

[past ingot]

Imagine being scared as an ant.... no such thing

[quartz plank]

there are big ants too

[dim cloak]

Ladybugs I'm fine with.

[heavy ivy]

beetles are cool too

[quartz plank]

the vacuum is the peaceful solution though

[past ingot]

There are ants which will show you the true meaning of pain

[heavy ivy]

lil armored critters :3

[quartz plank]

vacuum and immediately empty the bag

outside

[karmic jetty]

u mean eat them

[past ingot]

No it isn't.... it takes the eggs. The eggs get put in the garbage and they die in the dump.

Buried in garbage

[dim cloak]

And lovebugs. Although during mating season they attach their (I think) abdomens to each other, merging together into one long lovd bug

[quartz plank]

i havent actually seen any eggs ever

but no, not the garbage

[dim cloak]

Same.

[quartz plank]

i empty the outside

[dim cloak]

And I have no desire to

[past ingot]

That's better. I think the eggs are nearly microscopic

[quartz plank]

probably

[dim cloak]

That's probably why.

[spare ingot]

spider is the final boss

[dim cloak]

No wonder they're so many...

[past ingot]

Ever see ants kill a spider? Awesome

Hair obviously isn't either gif guy

[quartz plank]

i tried to respond with th e "get out of my sight before i demolish you"

but i couldnt find it

[karmic jetty]

who else like watchin the ant canada channel

[past ingot]

Antada

[quartz plank]

i watched him a long time ago

but eventually i decided i ont like the way he speaks

i havent found a good ant channel since

[spare ingot]

I used to but the ant lore got too complicated

[quartz plank]

what i did find is a small community on youtube thats dedicated to jar ecospheres and its really fucking cool

[karmic jetty]

i dont like how YOU speaks

[quartz plank]

SAME

[dim cloak]

I've seen a ton of videos of people pouring molten metal into anthills. super cruel but it looks cool when they dig it out.

[quartz plank]

im also convinced the guy does shitto his ants on purpose

[past ingot]

Alright I'm out, gotta wake up early and freeze my ass off

[dim cloak]

Idk why its a thing

[quartz plank]

so its entertaining

fucking infestations and shit

[spare ingot]

bro is literally the god of thousands of ants

[quartz plank]

the average ant farm is probably boring as hell

bro is playing worldbox

well not boring

ants are very interesting

just uneventful

[dim cloak]

I read that as "The guy does shit out his ants"

like birthing

[spare ingot]

theyre interesting until you see ants in your house then you put the ant bait out

[karmic jetty]

[heady basin]

yo someone @ me when jaime is online but don’t tell him i said that okay thx bye

[quartz plank]

they did that to see how the biggest antcolony ever was made

[split osprey]

peak disguise

[quartz plank]

i hoped they emptied out the ants though

[quartz plank]

@ james missplums specifically told me to ping her when youre online thank you

no problem

[karmic jetty]

take it to dms bruh

[dim cloak]

Yeah, I'm sure but a lot of the videos I've seen just pours it straight into the ground. with ants running around and in it

[quartz plank]

take what to dms

do ants offend you

[spare ingot]

real

[karmic jetty]

it

cant u read

[quartz plank]

does the sheer power of a creature so small terrify you

[karmic jetty]

i love ants wdym!!!

[dim cloak]

Whats the it do you want to take to dms

[quartz plank]

basically they take some soil+watre from a lake or river, or some forest soil and plants if it isnt an underwater one
they put that in a jar, spray some water on the sides and seal it

it becomes a self sustaining ecosystem inside a jar

really small organisms mostly

but its cool as fuck

all the little fellas

one of the channels was called jartopia

[karmic jetty]

terrarium

[quartz plank]

essentially, but enclosed in a jar

they dont open it ever

it all just lives on its own

[karmic jetty]

jarrarium

[dim cloak]

Yeah, not the videos I've seen. They just straight up melt like aluminum bars near an anthill in a homemads forge and pour the molten metal into it. It's kinda horrifying if you think about it too hard

[quartz plank]

there's showcases of 10 year old jar ecosheres

[quartz plank]

oh no im talking about another thing

[livid notch]

[dim cloak]

oh

[quartz plank]

i know what youre talking about

[livid notch]

[quartz plank]

molten metal is still better than that one guy that straight up grabbed a wasp nest and ate it

[split osprey]

the fumo

[dim cloak]

Horrifying.

[quartz plank]

ive seen that video more times than i'd like

[dim cloak]

Reminds me of the classic Russian Guy and the Jar.

Also horrifying

[karmic jetty]

erm ackshually he wasnt russian

[quartz plank]

bro knows the lore

[dim cloak]

I legit thought he was making a mlp jar. but nohohohooooo he wasn't

[quartz plank]

i dont know whats worse but we should stop talking about it

[dim cloak]

Agreed.

[quartz plank]
