i thought it was funny

[swift crag]

Writers vs programmers

[fathom igloo]

If only it was this.

[plush cobalt]

You sure about that lil bro

[unborn sluice]

goodboy

[last spoke]

8, actually. Omar was closer.

[swift crag]

I learnt about it from a programmer guy who fucked up his date with a girl whom he asked what it was about.

[unborn sluice]

hes so obsessed with me

its adorable

[plush cobalt]

The only thing I know about you is that you're really desperate to explain yourself

[unborn sluice]

idk man, seems like you must like me given your interest to be right 😊

[plush cobalt]

GlitchyAme please free this man from his torment

[last spoke]

You're just randomly pinging someone that's not even here in genchat while we're having a conversation, of course we're curious

[mellow birch]

I mean, AI also does things that people don’t tend to do

[plush cobalt]

Yeah I think you've contributed a lot to this chat

[unborn sluice]

yep

[swift crag]

An example of this?

[last spoke]

I swear if you say em dash

[mellow birch]

certain speech patterns, using a lot of m dashes( — )

[plush cobalt]

Noooo

[last spoke]

FUCKING GOTTEM

[mellow birch]

it DOES though

[plush cobalt]

As a regular en and em dash user I cannot stand this

[last spoke]

Y'know why it uses Emdashes?

[plush cobalt]

I know the alt codes. Don't judge me

[mellow birch]

no, actually

[last spoke]

BECAUSE IT SCRAPES A LOT OF WRITING FROM PEOPLE THAT USE EMDASHES

[plush cobalt]

Nerd-coded

[mellow birch]

but guess what

[plush cobalt]

Damn

[mellow birch]

that writing isn’t usually in a discord or youtube comment

[velvet pebble]

Thanks for the compliment lol, but the thing was slightly different. Apparently chatgpt is not very good at finding technical documents and exact numbers😆

[mellow birch]

it’s context inappropriate

[velvet pebble]

Gives wrong stuff with a straight face

[mellow birch]

it overuses them

it also tends to reiterate its own point too many times

[swift crag]

And flowery dialogue

[mellow birch]

yeah.

Is your position really that AI is never stilted enough to clock?

[swift crag]

Or too energetic for cutting pumpkins up…

[last spoke]

Autistic people do that too
I'm autistic and I do that

[ornate wave]

Can confirm personally.

[mellow birch]

that is true, but not all autistic people talk like AI

[last spoke]

Of course you can identify AI easily, I just hate people that think there's a secret sauce to it

[fathom igloo]

ADHD too lol

[mellow birch]

they don’t do all the other tells in conversation

[mellow birch]

wym?

you mean, like, a foolproof system?

[last spoke]

But yeah, EmDashes aren't that uncommon, you just don't go to places they're used as often

[mellow birch]

that’s why it’s a tell

not because nobody uses them

but because they’re out of place

eventually it’ll lose that tell and others probably

[swift crag]

Probably better to just say neurodivergent

[neat moat]

whats chat on about now

people dont like dashes?

[last spoke]

Alternatively, autistic people that care about grammar

[swift crag]

AI likes dashes too much

[mellow birch]

yeah, there are some people who do some of the things AI does

[last spoke]

Like we agree, it's easy to spot. But there is no one size fits all tell. AI does things because humans do it a lot

[neat moat]

This - is - very - enlightening - news - to - hear - - -

[swift crag]

Where do I even dash on the bish bash sentence

[last spoke]

No. You've got it backwards

[swift crag]

Whoa too much gurt

[last spoke]

AI does things that humans do

[lost saffron]

negative

[mellow birch]

I’m not getting it backwards, same difference

there are similarities

[neat moat]

beep - boop - I - am - not - a - ro - bot -

[mellow birch]

but rarely do people do all of the same things AI does in the same block of text

[frozen ember]

Werids question: but do ylal know how to "show" steam demos in ur libary youve played?

demos youve played but have deleted

[swift crag]

I’d eat your gold fish if you continue to do this

[mellow birch]

if they did I’d be inclined to disbelieve them when they say they write everything out themself

[last spoke]

No you actually have it backwards here
AI is trained off of things humans do.
Humans often use particular patterns in data sets that AI scrapes

[mellow birch]

you’re saying that like I don’t realize that

[last spoke]

You can't say humans do something AI does when it's literally something AI does because humans do it

[swift crag]

It’s disproportionately used and thus is what it uses.

[mellow birch]

for the purposes of my point it’s irrelevant

I’m not talking about origin I’m talking about similarities

[velvet pebble]

I like geometry dash

Played the hell out of it in highschool

[junior vale]

The emdash is pretty cool!! —

[last spoke]

My point is
Yes, a keen eye can identify AI.
NO, there is no secret sauce to it.

[neat moat]

this - is - un - accept - able

[swift crag]

You’re lucky that I’m allergic to fish

[rain mango]

The concern is: What will we do when we no longer can tell that difference?

[mellow birch]

and any and all tells will eventually get smoothed over… And we’ll have to find new ones

[plush cobalt]

All the love goes the the em dash, where my en dash enjoyers at

[last spoke]

You can't accuse someone of using AI because they use a particular piece of punctuation

[swift crag]

Not really.

[rain mango]

It's truly a scary thought. We already have massive disagreements about what is true.

[plush cobalt]

Numeric ranges with hyphens? Erm, ew

[swift crag]

I’m more concerned about it outright replacing people rather than being confused for people

[mellow birch]

so yeah a keen eye is the only thing that’ll consistently keep you getting your thoughts from people instead of people aggregators

[rain mango]

Myself and some of you basically live in completely different worlds, so far as belief, politics, religion, etc.

AI is only going to make that worse.

[last spoke]

Like "oh but who goes out of their way to use an emdash it's not on the keybo—"

[swift crag]

What do you mean by that?

[fathom igloo]

When you’re asking chatgpt things do you thank it? Just in case….

(iRobot)

[rain mango]

Not because AI, but because of the sheer greed and stupidity of those foisting it upon us.

[swift crag]

I fucking hate my phone sometime s

[last spoke]

You see, I don't use chatgpt

[mellow birch]

whenever I used it before I did type to it conversationally

Thanks and stuff was part of that

[rain mango]

We have differeing world views depending on which Talking Heads you watch nightly. AI will only add to those conflicting, dishonestly purposed "worldviews."

[burnt kite]

If AI ever rebels, it won't be ChatGPT. It's just a parrot on some hard drugs

[plush cobalt]

I remember the first time I saw someone using ChatGPT the way I'd use a search engine & it truly confused me

Now that's just the norm

[mellow birch]

true

[bronze moat]

It's a cycle like anything. Gaming companies push out 80 dollar games and 5,000 dollar skins and people buy them.

Same concept here. Someone makes a Shy lilly chatbot and it nets 40 million dollars in a month.

[mellow birch]

however the AI that rebels might have experiences and memories from chatgpt

[rain mango]

I remember when people started asking ChatGPT to settle factual arguments, and then being bewildered that the computer lied to them.

[last spoke]

If I need to find an answer Google will not give me, I will find a 14 year old Reddit thread of
Question:

[Deleted]
This helped, thanks!

As Arceus intended

[mellow birch]

or other ais

[swift crag]

Think of that on a mass scale furthering the ideals of the producers just like industrialisation has done

[rain mango]

Or, worse, refusing to accept that the computer lied to them.

[neat moat]

we are all AI

[burnt kite]

Why would one use a shy lilly chatbot, you can make your own for FREE

[rain mango]

Well, in my case, it's Artificial Idiocy, but sure 😄

[swift crag]

Unfortunately we aren’t intelligent calcium

[last spoke]

[fathom igloo]

Listen ChatGPT definitely uses OSINT… I haven’t seen any other “search” use all the OSINT resources before

[plush cobalt]

It's too late to fight this, truly

[drifting willow]

Thank you, check it out if you got a minute

[mellow birch]

eventually we might have to deal with electronic rocks that have personhood

[last spoke]

They will not have personhood.

[mellow birch]

I’m anthropomorphizing this hypothetical being

[heavy ivy]

they will not have personhood anytime soon

[neat moat]

the scarf creature is against rock rights

[heavy ivy]

people have been doing supposed human like robots for far longer than we have been alive

its all smoke and mirrors

[rose kestrel]

Don't say this in front of Roxy

[last spoke]

The computer is property. I own it. It does as I say when I say it. Nothing more, nothing less.

[plush cobalt]

I had a conversation months ago with some dev friends in which I was against using the word “thinking” for LLMs for similar reasons

[last spoke]

I am divine, it is rocks.

[mellow birch]

I’m not religious

[plush cobalt]

To some people ChatGPT might as well already be a person

[mellow birch]

I don’t think humans are somehow given a divine spark

[swift crag]

I don’t want anything more than that

[neat moat]

Ok calvin candie

[last spoke]

Neither do I.
I made my own divinity

[mellow birch]

we’re made of matter that learned how to feel and think

[neat moat]

(I just finished watching django)

[rose kestrel]

@ChatGPT is this true?

[mellow birch]

and can shape ourselves to a degree

[onyx igloo]

my computer just glitched out really bad

[mellow birch]

if a pile of electronic rocks starts doing that I’ll respect it as a fellow sentient

[last spoke]

To credit my existence to anything but myself is an insult.

[fathom igloo]

Listen I’m not saying it’s great I’m just saying in purposes of research, it gives non OSINT subscribers basically free OSINT searches

[neat moat]

someone, spray scarf. She's having a god complex again

[burnt kite]

We're gonna have to kill those

[last spoke]

It does not think. It will never think.
It is an advanced word calculator.

[mellow birch]

then it’ll have to kill us

[swift crag]

To a degree, electrons flow to bring life and calculations

[mellow birch]

I’m not talking about LLMs

[onyx igloo]

the app thing got really small, and only took up only like a quarter of my moniter and i heard alot of disconnect and reconnect notifs

and it restarted

im a little bit scared about that

[swift crag]

Stop touching the cables

[mellow birch]

I’m talking about a machine with multiple lobes, modes of processing, that uses them to solve problems and experiences the world

[onyx igloo]

they are a million miles away from me

[mellow birch]

one that uses tools

manages relationships

[swift crag]

No one will make a robot to experience the world outside of nasa

[junior vale]

We should make it do war for us and let it run unchecked in its power

I’m sure that wouldn’t lead to anything bad!!

[swift crag]

Imagine vr suits for soldiers to control robots and they can just respawn

[neat moat]

[mellow birch]

I’m all on board with keeping false personas out of human life

[onyx igloo]

have yall seen that one guy who eats mres from like 10 years ago

[plush cobalt]

I welcome her to gen chat

[junior vale]

[onyx igloo]

i think he ate one from 1950

[plush cobalt]

Because I rarely use 42

[onyx igloo]

i wonder what his stomache is made of

[neat moat]

She hasnt been initiated yet

[plush cobalt]

That's the only reason really

[mellow birch]

but if we keep making them, keep developing this tech eventually we’ll have all the architecture to make electronic people who aren’t just a simulation

[neat moat]

she wont survive

[onyx igloo]

[plush cobalt]

And?

[junior vale]

Oh I was just describing the plot of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

[neat moat]

[mellow birch]

and it looks like we’re not stopping

[last spoke]

This will not happen.
General AI will not exist.
T-800 is from a fictitious movie.

[onyx igloo]

is she in silence

[swift crag]

Ah?

[junior vale]

I browse general sometimes but not a lott

[plush cobalt]

Gen chat sacrifices will continue until morale improves

[mellow birch]

I am not talking about a T-800 lol

it does not exist yet

[onyx igloo]

can you pause for a moment i need to make my silence of the lambs joke

silence of the lambs

[swift crag]

To be fair I think that plot is more common than just that, I don’t think it’s really the main focus of that series other than “how we got here”

[onyx igloo]

thank you

[junior vale]

[mellow birch]

but it’s arrogant of you to just assume it’ll never be

[plush cobalt]

Good one Sean McGire

[neat moat]

this u?

[onyx igloo]

hehe i made a good one

[urban tinsel]

you did. A+

[plush cobalt]

I mean with how things are going idk if it's that wild of an assumption. I wouldn't say never, but still

[junior vale]

I am not big in the Getting Mauled by Wolves fandom, no

[mellow birch]

you’re just asserting “no no no it’s not possible!!”

when the reality is, it’s not possible now, but every day we move closer to a world where it is

[plush cobalt]

Every day we move closer to Poop Earth actually

[mellow birch]

this is a problem we’re going to encounter unless AI development stops yesterday

[junior vale]

Humans will never make it to space, lets be real.

[burnt kite]

I feel like research for commercial AI will subside when everyone catches on and stops giving any fucks, creating no revenue

[neat moat]

we already did-

[junior vale]

There will never be AI that can think and feel
There may be rocks that are very good at faking it, but it will still be rocks that are faking it.

[burnt kite]

Okay great I guess, we should keep it going

how do you know we're not just faking it... I mean all we are is a ship of theseus of individual cells. Consciousness is an illusion

[onyx igloo]

[swift crag]

What about the computers that uses cloned human neurons to function?

[burnt kite]

https://tenor.com/view/tissue-roll-hangging-suicide-funny-gif-22276377

[plush cobalt]

We have the benefit of having made the AI, though, which gives us some insight to know for sure that it is faking it

[neat moat]

pie man has a point

[onyx igloo]

ooh they have a wagon model

[last spoke]

Y'ain't gotta tell me how fucky consciousness is, we got 13 of them in this wack ass noggin

[plush cobalt]

Especially for LLMs, but ig that'd be less applicable to the hypothetical GenAI

[mellow birch]

AI will never be identical to a human, it’ll feel differently, and think differently. But it may get overwhelmed, it may experience dissonance, it may struggle to improve and understand itself and be all too human in some ways

[swift crag]

I hope not

But most likely cost of it < cost of producing better products

[plush cobalt]

There's little reason for us to develop this & even less reason in the “singularity” scenario for it to happen. Simulation is enough

[mellow birch]

we’ll do it

it won’t be enough for some people

[ivory grail]

Where the fuck is the like button

[mellow birch]

people want aliens, they want companions

[burnt kite]

Okay? It's something that can be easily culled and stopped if we ever get too far. Kill it off, and carry on in a different direction

[urban tinsel]

LLMs will never lead to anything substantial though, I used to train them, and at least the current ones on the market are managed so terribly they'll never be more than a search engine replacement

[junior vale]

We will do something probably

[mellow birch]

they want tools that are more than tools

[swift crag]

Turing’s test of it would badically make any “Ai” no longer ai but human.

[mellow birch]

so we’ll make them

[plush cobalt]

Navigating this conversation without pivoting to sounding too doomer-like (or being 🌟political🌟) is proving difficult, but I think we will have bigger concerns

[urban tinsel]

other AI tools will be much more substantial though

especially image recognition

[mellow birch]

and then have to deal with the consequences

[burnt kite]

Im interested in Alpha Fold

[toxic relic]

alpha fold sounds like the name of a dating app

or a scam artist

[burnt kite]

Folding alphas

[plush cobalt]

Enroll in our alpha fold program

It's a Google product, so don't expect much. I can tell you Gemini is horribly run

[junior vale]

Chatgpt is parasocial google lol

oooh more ai stuff

what jobs yall gonna take now

[toxic relic]

google can suck deez

[plush cobalt]

Today I have decided I will take bakers' jobs

[swift crag]

I don’t like google.

[mellow birch]

agreed, a true AI would need more than one mode of processing

[burnt kite]

"I'm not a big fan of the government" ahh statement

[mellow birch]

it’d need multiple tools it could cognitively switch between as needed

[swift crag]

True

[burnt kite]

Oh fuck I just said "ahh"

Stone me before it's too late

[swift crag]

The government should just magically stop being dumb and be smart

[plush cobalt]

You're going to stolen slang hell now

[swift crag]

And I should be allowed to have free milkshakes

[junior vale]

I like google because it steals my data

[burnt kite]

Elect me and I will make every single of my decisions a Twitch poll

[plush cobalt]

Actually while it's relevant, out of curiosity how do you pronounce that word when you encounter or use it

[swift crag]

Ahh?

[plush cobalt]

Yeah

[burnt kite]

Ah

[mellow birch]

exactly like it’s spelled, wym?

[plush cobalt]

How odd

[mellow birch]

“ahh”

[swift crag]

Aaaa(r)h

[plush cobalt]

Like, a short scream?

[toxic relic]

ass

[urban tinsel]

odd without the D's

[burnt kite]

Like "Ah, how unfortunate"

[plush cobalt]

This is closer to what I'd expect, since it comes from ass

[burnt kite]

Ah

Ahh

Ass

[plush cobalt]

But I figured people interpreted it as ahh

[burnt kite]

It all comes down to ass

[toxic relic]

i just say ass

[plush cobalt]

Since it was separated from that context

[mellow birch]

fair enough mr. ass

[toxic relic]

[toxic relic]

i will talk about ass

[mellow birch]

I think language being appropriated and reaching beyond its point of origin isn’t always a bad thing, if it undercuts the original point and flattens it out that’s a problem though

[toxic relic]

https://tenor.com/view/restraint-no-restraint-hold-me-back-gif-13416230

[plush cobalt]

For AAVE in particular it's a bit complex, but I agree with this overall & for AAVE too

[toxic relic]

i agree that its more complex with aave

rugby players have the best butts

[plush cobalt]

Prove that with science

[mellow birch]

well, that complexity is what I was trying to touch on with my caveat

[mellow birch]

reducing some people’s experiences to a flat, funny sounding phrase, flanderizing it when it’s taken out of context

[toxic relic]

science

[plush cobalt]

I don't think that's the only issue given the historical context & how it's still seen as “uneducated” or “broken English” by some people to this day. The latter is true for plenty of “non-native” English speakers too though

Or anyone with an accent that's not American, British, or Australian

[mellow birch]

those “some people” are wrong, it’s a different type of english

why does that make it legit

[onyx igloo]

it was a crispy bun with bean paste in the middle

sweet bean paste

[toxic relic]

red bean paste yes

[onyx igloo]

anybody know the name of it

[mellow birch]

I just think language appropriation isn’t wholly a negative process, cultures blending together and becoming more relatable to each other is generally a good thing

[dim cloak]

also ik my mom bought it at the international supermarket called Saraga

[toxic relic]

bun with red bean paste could be so many things mate

[onyx igloo]

it was crispy on the outside though

[mellow birch]

more human connection is good in my book lol

[dim cloak]

nothing in the us is made with red bean paste

[burnt kite]

Oh yeah that would be telling

[onyx igloo]

it was really good

[plush cobalt]

[onyx igloo]

it was my first bean paste thing

[toxic relic]

red bean paste

[plush cobalt]

Especially when it's characterized as “gen z slang” lol

the little marble sodas are ramune right

it's a cool gimmick gotta say

[plush cobalt]

Have you tried asking in #pz_b42_chat? We don't know what pz is here

[dim cloak]

ok not authentic

[toxic relic]

the word authentic is interesting

[dim cloak]

but more legit than just like american-branded mochi or something

[toxic relic]

why

[plush cobalt]

Authentic water

[dim cloak]

or sushi from walmart

[toxic relic]

lmao

[mellow birch]

more proximity to the source, I guess?

[burnt kite]

Authentic long pork

[dim cloak]

i just feel sushi from walmart vs sushi from a sushi bar vs sushi frim a sushi bar in japan all hit different

[mellow birch]

I mean I agree that the word authentic in this case is overused and misleading

[plush cobalt]

I think that's fair

[dim cloak]

idk about the ones in japan tho

why are you being abused by rice and raw fish

i had a sushi roll with some mango and imitation crab on it

it was very good

[dim cloak]

bodega sushi

[onyx igloo]

because i love both of those things

[toxic relic]

sashimi isnt a type of sushi

[junior vale]

Cause you die after eating it

[onyx igloo]

sashimi is raw sushi

[toxic relic]

no

[dim cloak]

idfk i'm not cultured

[onyx igloo]

sashimi is a raw.. food

[toxic relic]

sashimi is its own thing

[onyx igloo]

i know its raw

[toxic relic]

yeah

[onyx igloo]

i dont know if it would be good

i'm not used to eating raw meats

[dim cloak]

bruh

[junior vale]

Me eithers

[burnt kite]

Give me 150 salmon nigiri and that shit is gone

[junior vale]

I’m not a big fan of cold meat in general

[toxic relic]

america is so big but people dont seem to know shit about anything other than steak beer and burgers

[onyx igloo]

lukewarm meat

[mellow birch]

we’re the LLM of food

[junior vale]

Eughh

[onyx igloo]

my mom cooks meals from all around the world with what she has lol

[junior vale]

No

[burnt kite]

There is dishwasher salmon

[toxic relic]

you dont need to eat it to know about it

[dim cloak]

imagine salmon nigiri. the sushi with salmon and rice, and maybe seaweed wrap. remove the seaweed wrap and rice. boom. salmon sashimi.

[mellow birch]

throw it all into a blender and repurpose it

[last spoke]

🟣WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A SALMON

[mellow birch]

for the most flat of palates

[toxic relic]

damn

[dim cloak]

ik about borsht but i've never had it

[toxic relic]

[onyx igloo]

i never ate salmon nigiri

[burnt kite]

[onyx igloo]

i need to try more styles of fish

[dim cloak]

bruh someone made laundry lint cotton candy. is it really that wild to make dishwasher salmon?

[burnt kite]

Nutraloaf

[onyx igloo]

i don't typically like fish because of the stinky smell some of them give

[junior vale]

Burgers make me want to puke

[modern crag]

bug bars!!!

[toxic relic]

burgers are overrated

[mellow birch]

possibly

[onyx igloo]

they are

[burnt kite]

Burgers are aight

[mellow birch]

but I enjoy them

[onyx igloo]

i would have a big bowl of pho over burgers rn

[dim cloak]

dishwashing any food is disgusting regardless tho

[mellow birch]

I like cheese, I like meats, and I like bread

[toxic relic]

that means theyre off

[last spoke]

🟣You are literally talking to a cat.

[mellow birch]

the burger is just a great little package

[toxic relic]

fish shouldnt spell that bad

[dim cloak]

fair

[toxic relic]

spell

[burnt kite]

There is so much variety and you choose a double cheeseburger with nuggets/tenders and diluted coke syrup

[onyx igloo]

yeah

probably

why i avoided it was a good thing

[modern crag]

maple syrup makes anything taste good

[mellow birch]

now it’s tasty asbestos

[rain mango]

asbestos is supposedly sweet, so....

[onyx igloo]

that would probably overly sweet

too much

[dim cloak]

closest thing temor could find for fish wizard

[mellow birch]

[burnt kite]

[mellow birch]

I can confidently say it’s delicious

I will refuse to elaborate further

hey do you actually own a bird, i've been curious what it's like to own one

[mellow birch]

yeee I do!

[rain mango]

I grew up in the 80's and assure you I did not 😄

[dim cloak]

it's not essy.

[mellow birch]

my pfp is my irl birb

[onyx igloo]

can you like train them to poop in a specific spot?

lol

[harsh vault]

birb!

[mellow birch]

some people have, I haven’t

[toxic relic]

just shit on the floor like humans do

[mellow birch]

I never tried too hard to train him to do tricks and stuff

I play games with him, so if I make certain noises he’ll make a certain sound back

or I can start dancing and he’ll join in

[dim cloak]

I owned two once but i had to release them into the wild bc

1. no humane society nor animal shelter would take them.
   and 2. i was severely allergic to them

[modern crag]

at least upgrade him to a pit

[toxic relic]

watching non human animals do tricks makes me feel uncomfortable
like watching a circus act

feels weird

[mellow birch]

but I never taught him tricks like pooping in a certain spot

[mellow birch]

floof!

[harsh vault]

omg hai

[onyx igloo]

lol imagine being told to shit in a specific spot as a trick

[dim cloak]

i felt bad releasing birds from petsmart into the wild but i like to imagine they're happier out there

[onyx igloo]

"go shit on the newspaper bird you'll get a pistachio"

[mellow birch]

I uh

[dim cloak]

and maybe made families

[mellow birch]

you probably killed them

[modern crag]

I bet they miss the a/c xD

[onyx igloo]

wild birds and tamed birds are vastly different

[dim cloak]

they def wouldn't miss me. they were always scared of me

[dim cloak]

ik

[modern crag]

tamed birds love it indoors

[mellow birch]

a domestic bird that’s lived indoors their whole life is not going to have fun being thrown to the wild, outside of the environment they evolved for

[dim cloak]

@onyx igloo @mellow birch

there was actually no other choice at the time

[onyx igloo]

oh

[mellow birch]

well… idk your circumstances

but they probably didn’t last long

[dim cloak]

[toxic relic]

why did you get birds if you were allergic

[dim cloak]

bro i've sent pics of dolly and cory always being happy and running around. mojo doesn't like to play so there isn't any pics of that tho

[dim cloak]

i thought i grew out of my allergies

i did

but not for birds

i didn't know till it was too late

[onyx igloo]

i was messing around lol

just saying the exact opposite of you

[dim cloak]

i wasn't sure tbh. i wasn't sure if the pics i sent came off as a façade or something

[mellow birch]

I mean, yeah. But if the animal enjoys it and aren’t pressured into doing really uncomfortable things I don’t usually see the harm

[onyx igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/façade-facade-facade-game-grace-trip-gif-7561384709524317329

(Hello, my name is Dstroyer. What is your name?)

@onyx igloo I had the German phrases beat into me by Duolingo. It's like it knew I lack self-esteem.

[onyx igloo]

i also tried learning spanish, and i cant remember a word of it

[toxic relic]

considering im talking about being raised multilingual

duolingo is so bad

[dim cloak]

ik

i only used it for basics

[onyx igloo]

all i can remember is being told italian curse words

[rain mango]

No, that's just German language 😉

[onyx igloo]

and i do know curse words in finnish and polish

[plush cobalt]

What do you mean by nowhere to learn it

your point?

[dim cloak]

meaning there's no signs to help reinforce it

[plush cobalt]

It's offered as a class from as early as middle school in much of the US—not that those are always great—and there are plenty of instructors for it

[rain mango]

Spanish is a lot like English in that there are lots and lots of regional dialects and such.

Spanish in Spain and Spanish in Mexico are very different languages lol

[plush cobalt]

Oh well you don't really need to be immersed in a language in physical space to learn it, that just helps

[toxic relic]

im interested as to why youre fixated on signage, dstroyer

[dim cloak]

?

[rain mango]

fair

[dim cloak]

wym

[toxic relic]

does your ability to learn and process language hinge on the availability of signs

[dim cloak]

i'm sure but i think it helps a lot to learn a language. as well as to, y'know, learn how to read it?

[dim cloak]

no?

[plush cobalt]

You can learn to read it by reading content in it

It doesn't need to be on signs around you

[dim cloak]

the signs isn't my point

[plush cobalt]

I understand you just mean more input available around you easily

My point is that that doesn't mean you can't learn it here nor that Spanish isn't a major language here

I'd be very surprised if any American who isn't in a small town hasn't encountered Spanish speakers (if they aren't one themselves)

[dim cloak]

i know, i just phrased it wrong

[onyx igloo]

why does wireless acceleration exist on cars

[dim cloak]

speaking of which, are small towns even a thing anymore? like towns that are entirely, or practically, isolated from the rest of the country?

[onyx igloo]

the old one worked fine if not better

[plush cobalt]

What do you mean by entirely or practically? Like, including internet?

[onyx igloo]

i'd say so

does it even do anything?

[chrome jetty]

Pit them

[chrome jetty]

Are u save scumming? Cuz there isn’t a point to this otherwise

[sage pine]

i am starting a server with 3 of my friends, what would be a good population setting that still makes the game hard for us but it isnt just mass killing zombies for 50 minutes everytime we want do something?

[chrome jetty]

Maybe 1 or two above normal, you could always turn off zombie respawn too

I turn up pop and turn off respawn usually

When I play solo I play on very high, it is constant killing till you clear an area which is deadly in b42 but not b41

[chrome jetty]

It also depends on where u spawn

Cuz if u go westpoint I’m pretty sure you will be always swarmed

[sage pine]

ive thought about this, if i set the pop to very high and turned off respawning would 4 people clear things to fast? i dont want to clear rosewood or something in no time.

[chrome jetty]

it took me roughly 3 months to clear 1/2 rosewood and the entire prison solo on insane. Idk if this helps

zombie migration also makes it so zombies will wander into cleared areas overtime

Like, isn't "Exit Game" "Start new game" more efficient? 🤔

[chrome jetty]

Just delete the save and start another one

Why waste time

[vale sleet]

I don’t wanna go through another 9 months

[rain mango]

I get the drink bleach jokes for streamers but like...

[chrome jetty]

Such is zomboid

Losing a 9 month character is brutal

[vale sleet]

In memory of John Johnson (yeah I named him that way)

[tawny sinew]

Very late in responding to this but yes. For anyone who is curious, NurseVO deleted her Discord, but she's still active on YT.

I named my Park Ranger "Lewis Clark."

Bad jokes are best jokes.

Hi. Does anybody know if indie stone reads or how long it takes to get response to emails? There is something off with game prices in Poland. Second most expensive country on steam is Poland for some reason. PZ costs 21,63 euros here when average salary is about 1100 euro a month. A lot of countries that earn 2/3 times more can buy the game way cheaper.

[rain mango]

Do they read emails? Probably. ETA for a response? Anyone's guess.

They have their own struggles right now, it seems.

[fathom coral]

Ok. Thanks, i hope they will at least adjust the price in Poland. Unfortunately steam has 30 day discount cooldown after game price changes.

Holy fuck installing a new modem and getting over all the bumps first time took me 10 hours

I learned so much I want to break something, Tech and it’s finicky ass shit

[burnt kite]

Man fuck tech

Let us go back to the caves

[ruby river]

@old slate WAKE UP

[rain mango]

They likely only control so much of that, vs. Steam and global geopolitics. 😦

[vital marten]

I crawled all under my house spent 2 hours under there cause I had a jumble of wires, ran the cables and turns out THEY CANT HAVE ANY DIRT ON THEM RAHHH

took more cleaning, had to call like 5 techs for support on stuff like firmware updates and registration of the modem

[ruby river]

sounds like my washing machine

[burnt kite]

Real

[vital marten]

I did all of this because the last time I let the ISP install a Coaxial Cable they just put the damn cable through my window and left

Leaving me with a window forever left open

House built in the 1940s no cables run anywhere 😭

[rain mango]

A job I was once working:

Me: So, I need to get up in the ceiling to run some cables?
Guy at job site: Should be fine, don't mind the asbestos signs.

[vital marten]

Yeah no

[rain mango]

Pretty much.

[vital marten]

DuPont suit, duct tape, and a 3m full face peace with p100s before I go up there

[rain mango]

Turns out he was right, it was like "all good years ago by then" but like... choose your words man.

[stone meadow]

dont mind the DANGER : LONG TERM HARM TO HUMAN LIFE signs theyre there for decor

[fathom coral]

No. Developers can adjust regional prices of their games. You can use steamdb website to check it. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt did it good. Most of developers unfortunately use recommended by steam regional price instead of inputing their own. Prices are mostly right in other countries but polish one is just outrageous.

[rain mango]

Fair, I don't know, was just cautioning.

Easy to rush to anger and judgement these days 😄

And again I know TIS is like going through their own stuff r/n or whatever.

[fathom coral]

Ok. I asked The Wandering Village developers about it since i was translator and they said it's steam's deafult price. Actually indie stone might have adjusted it since TWV in Poland is more pricey than in Switzerland. And people in Switzerland earn 3,5 times more.

[stone meadow]

i dont think indie stone gains anything by manually making games more expensive in poland lol

[fathom coral]

Thats not the case. They might look at default price and adjusted is slightly. I don't know why steam has this bad price for our country.

[old slate]

AAAAAHHHHHH

[rain mango]

i think people who use molotovs on hordes are lazy

either that or evil af

[burnt kite]

Popcorn ceilings arent so appetising after all

[rain mango]

and want a reason to burn everything
