Like, we're trying to convince children to not stick their fingers into electrical sockets

[mellow birch]

most likely no

[toxic relic]

imagine losing 2 tb of furry nsfw pics cause you scratched your ass and got liquid pus in your fingernail cpu

[bronze moat]

i.e. walk up, plug in finger, hack device

[mellow birch]

I can imagine a few hypotheticals where I might, though

[plush cobalt]

I could see an argument for this but I'll pass

[bronze moat]

admin furry stash is NOT on my discord! (it is)

[half kettle]

is ur furry stash SFW

[toxic relic]

i dont want furry pics

[plush cobalt]

I've said this before but I have no illusions about the purity of flesh, I just also see no reason to do that

[neon bramble]

replace my back with a cyberspine maybe

[toxic relic]

id take a cyber arm

ez

[mellow birch]

I like having body parts I can feel and finely control

[bronze moat]

yes. it's a joke channel. Has a single cute Khajit from my skyrim game so far

[half kettle]

i believe replacable spines are awesome

[lyric galleon]

okay but would you rather have physical augmentations or have your consciousness transferred onto a cybernetic body instead

[mellow birch]

if my bionics were basically alive and part of me I’d not be opposed

[last spoke]

I've no need for cybernetic enhancments, I'm literally the best already

[neon bramble]

obligatory chainsaw attachment

[plush cobalt]

I will just die

[neon bramble]

actually yeah fuck it cyberarm it is

[lyric galleon]

nah, id live

[neon bramble]

I wanna do yardwork with swappable hand attachments

[toxic relic]

cybermods would be sick

[last spoke]

As I said, I'd rather be finished with a hammer

A traditional one

[mellow birch]

I’ll slowly upgrade my body like a PC

[heavy ivy]

look if im going to get cybernetics im not stopping at two boring ass cyber arms

[lyric galleon]

im going to install mr stud cybernetics onto you

[lyric galleon]

real

[half kettle]

are you installing a kebab segment

[toxic relic]

ribbed for his pleasure

[heavy ivy]

gimme six arms
totally not biased for unrelated reasons

[bronze moat]

what if your spleen costs $44 a month and you miss a payment?

[mellow birch]

then no

[half kettle]

YO

NO NO

[lyric galleon]

spleen privileges revoked

[half kettle]

subscribtion PAD

BAD

[last spoke]

I would pirate a spleen

[lyric galleon]

you wouldnt pirate a liver

[bronze moat]

have you seen the new volvo car? Subscription to use features OF YOUR CAR

[last spoke]

I FUCKEN WOULD

[mellow birch]

I would not “upgrade” my body if it made me dependent on some organization or unethical system to use it

[toxic relic]

pirated body parts is cruelty squad but realistic imo

[half kettle]

thats so messed up

[toxic relic]

the subscription model is realism

[half kettle]

im gonna get a rusty metal arm with a sword embedded into it

[last spoke]

Okay so, show agency at the dealership

[half kettle]

its gonna creak every 2 swings

[bronze moat]

I am a doom scroller old man for a reason. I absorb information and spread it. some of it is not good

[heavy ivy]

one of my favorite most horrible concepts ive seen in a book is food crops engineered to only be digestable with patented stomach enzymes

[toxic relic]

subscribe to your new heart transplant otherwise we turn off your pacemaker and you die slowly

[half kettle]

what a steal!

[lyric galleon]

when would we have an irl blackwall

[half kettle]

whats a blackwall

[lyric galleon]

just read up on blackwall lore

those who nose

[half kettle]

ok fever one moment

[toxic relic]

also you have medical debt from your surgeries and you got fired from work cause you had to take medical leave

[plush cobalt]

The world could be so much better if so many things didn't suck so much

[toxic relic]

lol

[last spoke]

Things would be great if they were good instead of bad

[mellow birch]

yes

[plush cobalt]

Truly

[mellow birch]

bad thing bad

[toxic relic]

indeed

[heavy ivy]

Indeed

[mellow birch]

indubitably

[half kettle]

indeed

[bronze moat]

the horrors of cyberpunk lore are slowing becoming real for the first time. Amazon owns 20% of all homes in my town -Seattle. They ONLY sell or rent to Amazon employees.

Translation: Corporate housing

[half kettle]

god we are so demented

[bronze moat]

roxy

[lyric galleon]

peanits

[surreal mirage]

And by it

[heavy ivy]

yeah it's truly insane. people worry about Blackrock (and understandably so), but miss out on shit like this happening at the same time

[toxic relic]

time to watch movie

[plush cobalt]

Unrelated to current conversation, sometimes I think about the guillotine

[last spoke]

I mean, that's how housing in this town works

That's just

[toxic relic]

sometimes i think about collective global rioting

no reason

🤔

[plush cobalt]

Totally not relevant

[mellow birch]

I often think of the easiest way to mass produce firearms

[last spoke]

What do you two think I meant by agency

[toxic relic]

🤔

[half kettle]

do you guys not think about sustainable food

[neon bramble]

I think the irish had the right idea yeah

[half kettle]

and reliable housing

and safe locations

[mellow birch]

I do

[lyric galleon]

just buy a lot of fertiliser

[plush cobalt]

I think about those too but as of right now I am thinking about violence

Just conceptually of course!

[mellow birch]

but then I get nervous and realize we won’t get that for everyone without the willingness to defend it

[heavy ivy]

i think about clean water production a lot
everything else comes with time, water keeps you and everyone else alive to see it

[bronze moat]

100% workable. Again, using my home town. We have community gardens EVERYWHERE. like a garden used by 6 homes on a single street.

Everyone helps, or a single resident is the main garden mommy. tomato's, corn, peppers, strawberries, etc.

[half kettle]

ugh why cant we just become awesome robots that need nothing to survive

[half kettle]

i have to worry about that because i live in a shitty city

[bronze moat]

I learned most of my survival stuff as a kid tho. Kudo's to being an Eagle Scout

[mellow birch]

because I want to feel things

[half kettle]

being human such a hassle

[neon bramble]

you are a flesh automaton

[lyric galleon]

how many badges do you have

[mellow birch]

if I can’t feel discomfort from deprivation I probably can’t feel a lot of other stuff too

[plush cobalt]

Community gardens can happen anywhere tbf—as long as there's some dirt & some willing people

[mellow birch]

if I could selectively control my senses that’d be good

[bronze moat]

A feeling is just a brain signal. If you can manipulate the brain, you can induce feeling.

[mellow birch]

autism sensory overload moment

[plush cobalt]

Ewwwww

[half kettle]

is that why hugging a pillow feel good ?

scary receptors

[plush cobalt]

This guy wants to experience the breadth of human emotion? Ewwwwww

[lyric galleon]

why hug a pillow when you could just bleed out on a snowy porch

[last spoke]

Why not both?

[half kettle]

yeah!

[mellow birch]

literally my thought

[half kettle]

i wanna hug a teddy bear whilst bleeding out

[last spoke]

I'm gonna test if y'all've been paying attention. If I'm bleeding out on a snowy porch, what do I want you to do

[plush cobalt]

Something about a tool

A drill?

[mellow birch]

kill you with a hammer

[lyric galleon]

say real

[half kettle]

laugh at you

[neon bramble]

shove as many sticks of dynamite down your throat as physically possible

[plush cobalt]

A screwdriver perhaps

[last spoke]

That comes later

[half kettle]

oppenheimer descendant

[neon bramble]

no you're bleeding out you dont get a choice in the matter

[mellow birch]

I wonder what the lurkers of the chat think about this conversation

[mellow birch]

I am genuinely curious

[last spoke]

Bird has not been paying attention

Birb is very close

[half kettle]

there are 2 birds

[plush cobalt]

More morbid than usual but otherwise fairly standard fare

That'd be my appraisal

[mellow birch]

rip

my attention is not sharp

I am confused

birb has smol brain

[neon bramble]

you are

[half kettle]

oh dear i cant look at the word appraisial without thinking about the slop isekai mangas

damn you japan

[last spoke]

The real answer is that I wouldn't be dying to begin with, but birb got closest with the available information

[plush cobalt]

I am not informed enough to understand this

[mellow birch]

ah yes

indeedydeed

[half kettle]

i have read too much trash and it has seeped into my brain

thats about it

[plush cobalt]

I see. Well you can get a new brain with our subscription model

[mellow birch]

appraisal is a magic catch-all spell in a lot of fantasy rpg bullshit

tells you everything to the point of making investigation or any sort of perspective irrelevant

[plush cobalt]

So like Identify but lame

[mellow birch]

yeah

[neon bramble]

I forgot the dnd spell that lets you ask the gods (DM) a question directly

[half kettle]

does it have a large cooldown

[neon bramble]

always been a fan of that

[plush cobalt]

Commune?

[neon bramble]

you can use it as many times as you have eligible spell slots

sounds like a divination spell but I'm not sure

[half kettle]

ive never played dnd before

hmm

[plush cobalt]

Commune is 5th level divination

[neon bramble]

actually yeah that might be it

[plush cobalt]

Oh there's also Divination (4th level) which may be what you meant

[neon bramble]

yeah might be it

[neon bramble]

think about it this way, the 5th level slot can be used to ask god a question or throw out a supercharged lightning bolt

[plush cobalt]

I recently found out there's a well-known legally obtained site for 5e information (with data in a repo, open source)

A few years back I spent hours manually inputting data from the PHB for a discord bot for friends

I will never get that time back

[mellow birch]

tragic

[neon bramble]

ya'll used a discord bot for it

[plush cobalt]

For pulling up spell info & such yeah

[stone meadow]

Im a level 1 super loser ugly nerd piece of shit but with my power of <<Appraisal>> I will become the strongest??? (by purchasing and training abused slaves but its ok cause I feel kinda bad about it)

[plush cobalt]

Also added a character creation wizard type thing

[neon bramble]

how much better is that compared to using tabletop sim or roll20

[half kettle]

uu dude there was a really insane long title for one

[plush cobalt]

It was back when discord bots had to use reactions for buttons

[half kettle]

i cant remember what it was

[plush cobalt]

We were playing on discord so sorta better, but for actual character sheets we used dicecloud

The bot was mainly rolls & looking up spell info

[mellow birch]

why do they always use slaves for that

literally finding companions like common loot

[half kettle]

it just is

[mellow birch]

so lazy from the writer’s standpoint

not to mention gross af but that goes without saying

[plush cobalt]

Manga writers drooling after hearing the word harem

[mellow birch]

lootboxing characters is so silly

[half kettle]

i just want to read a manga about a crazy ,monster guy killing [people but thats not in the market :(

[bronze moat]

Air Groove's first Finals win! Actually proud of this achievement.

[half kettle]

hey why dont they just use regular horses

[neon bramble]

that name sounds like an old anime I've watched

[bronze moat]

uhhhh.... go visit a barnes and nobles. manga section you'll find plenty

[half kettle]

barnes and nobles.?

[plush cobalt]

And why they running in dresses

[bronze moat]

They did. the game didn't sell. The horses are all based on IRL horses, but changed to anime girls. POOOF 1 billion USD in sales in 30 days

[half kettle]

lmaoo

[bronze moat]

I'm being serious

Air Grove is a real race horse. all of them are. Just changed into anime girls

[plush cobalt]

What's the game that didn't sell

I knew they were based on real horses because friends have told me about this phenomenon

[bronze moat]

Sad one is Rice Shower. The horse fractured her leg in a finals race and was put down. Japanese people held a massive funeral for her

[neon bramble]

what if they weren't cowards and made them centaurs

[stone meadow]

drives the "romantic" plot by being the knight in shining armour rescuing a poor girl from slavery and then being nice to her (not right out abusing her)

[young kelp]

5 hours

[neon bramble]

4 hours

[mellow birch]

yeah. True.

[bronze moat]

Breeders cup and a few other horse racing games never marketed very well.

[plush cobalt]

I see, interesting

[mellow birch]

make the character especially vulnerable so even boiler plate behavior looks saintly

[bronze moat]

but basically all the same gameplay. Train your horse for a few days before each race. Gain perks. race.

Changing into anime (and going MOBILE) made pretty derby a smash hit

mobile games in Japan excell because so many people use their mobile devices.

[young kelp]

4:34 hours

[mellow birch]

make women run simulator

[plush cobalt]

My magic system is based on water cultivation (the spells come from the combinations of minerals in the water)

[mellow birch]

sells better than make horse run

society??

[half kettle]

so your magician is a chemist

[bronze moat]

People bet REAL money on the anime horse girls.

[plush cobalt]

I think that's sufficiently esoteric

[bronze moat]

Last week largest single bet was six figures

[half kettle]

uuh big words

small brain

[bronze moat]

dude bet over 100K USD on a match

[mellow birch]

society

[neon bramble]

yes, exactly

[half kettle]

what does esoteric mean

[young kelp]

make a magic system thats based on fate

[bronze moat]

very society.

[young kelp]

cards and shit

balatro sorcery

[plush cobalt]

Okay. The spells only work if it's meant to be

[half kettle]

isnt that just gambling

[plush cobalt]

You cast a spell & it either works or doesn't

[young kelp]

yes

[plush cobalt]

Yes. And?

[bronze moat]

I'm just a schmuck, but I dealt with millions in fraud. Crazy some of the stuff I saw and talked about in the gaming industry

[half kettle]

add a slot machine while your at it

[plush cobalt]

Exactly how we get a gacha game out of this idea

[mellow birch]

slot machine ancient artifact

[bronze moat]

I gamble IRL. but I play blackjack

[young kelp]

a warlock with the joker face as the one you made a pact with

[half kettle]

i went to gamble once, the atmosphere felt suffocating

[bronze moat]

I get $100 for a slot machine on my bday from the casino tho. So will take whatever that turns into to the card table

[young kelp]

acts as the dealer for when you draw

[neon bramble]

wild magic warlock

[young kelp]

last I heard

its meant to be noisy

to hide the groans of those who lost

[bronze moat]

Fun Fact: the king of hearts in a deck of cards is Charlamange

[young kelp]

casinos that is

[bronze moat]

Some people also think it's king Charles I, but that is more modern.

All the kings, queens and jacks in a deck of cards represent real people

The joker card is not a real person. It came out of games of Eurche in the late 1800's. Prior to that the only "joker" card was a Fools card in a tarot deck.

So any show about midevil times you see and they play cards with Joker? didn't happen IRL. the card did not exist until America was created

[livid notch]

I get into a game so much if there is a gambling part

In a non gambling game

[bronze moat]

I still got my 1K chip. Have been putting off the game for a few weeks

[half kettle]

are you a limbus company gamer

[bronze moat]

I may take it to my bday game

[livid notch]

Nope

I don't like gacha

[bronze moat]

but waifu's need your money!

That's like 90% of all internet economics these days: Give money to a waifu.

[half kettle]

huh arent i funding the company behind the waifu

[livid notch]

I waste money on tf2 so

[surreal mirage]

[livid notch]

If I do my calculations right, I could have bought a unusual hat instead of buying a key, rebuying stuff until there is nothing left

[surreal mirage]

What's the tf2 economy like

[bronze moat]

yeah, it's nuts. Remember when Second Life was a thing? Look up "Neverdie". His story, if you can find it anymore, is weird, crazy and eye opening now that we LIVE in 2025 and he was back 20 years ago.

[surreal mirage]

Can you sell stuff for a profit

[livid notch]

Kinda

You sell metal, you get keys

Each key is nearly 2 dollars

[surreal mirage]

[dire condor]

It's bits on a screen. How valuable do you expect them to be?

[surreal mirage]

Mate have you seen cs2 item prices

[livid notch]

A heart around a 0.50 cent hat? 200$ take it or leave it

[bronze moat]

Short version: Neverdie was one of the first people to join Second life. His wife died. He sold EVERYTHING and bought stock in the linden corp. The space station in Second life belongs to HIM. All the casino's on it belong to HIM. 5,000 rooms were sold for $5,000 each. By HIM.

He was one of the first video game millionaires and it spawned the intial drive to monetize every little thing.

So today we have games like Roblox that monetize everything they can to the tune of 8-20 BILLION USD trading inside the video game economy.

[half kettle]

ah roblox, used to play that a lot during my early years

but do they really make that much money

[surreal mirage]

Roblox is just slop and micro transaction pop ups now

[dire condor]

Rarity is artificial value. There will always be some random person who really wants one thing in particular and will spend whatever they need to in order to get it.

This is not the typical item.

[surreal mirage]

It's a public company, you can check their income statements yourself

[livid notch]

Only been to Roblox once to play Roblox version of CSGO

[surreal mirage]

Roblox's revenue was 1bn in 25Q2

[livid notch]

True because there is definitely a dude out there going to buy this

[half kettle]

is there a collectors G frying pan

[half kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/jarhead-jake-gyllenhaal-anthony-swofford-uhm-awkward-gif-16964000199526309477

[livid notch]

Red text over a items name? No problem just pay us 300 more keys for it

[bronze moat]

Roblox alone had around 8 Billion USD pass through it's servers in the last 6 months. Overall, people have no clue at how huge sums of money are being funneled, laundered and passed through games.

World of Warcraft used to be king in that regard. Now even mobile games do it. Clash of clans alone makes 300 million a year on average.

Minion rush alone pulls in 20K a month on average and that game is older than Skyrim.

[half kettle]

👁️

[bronze moat]

Bethesda is floating around microtransations for Elder Scrolls 6. People are openly saying don't do it. Yet the idea has not been officially selved.....

[half kettle]

thats a lot

[bronze moat]

I am numbers autism man.

The FBI is activiely involved in ALL of this, because soo much money goes into games and comes out another end. Hard to track.

[livid notch]

Wasen't there micro transaction in cod black ops 7 trailer

[bronze moat]

Is why they arrested that mom and son back in the day for selling WOW gold on ebay

[livid notch]

The game isn't even out yet

YOU HAVE TO PAY MONTLY FOR AUDIO TO WORK

Directional sound in COD7 is a monthly fee

[half kettle]

"COD players pay for everything we make. They will pay for it if we tell them to" -Actual COD executive quote.

[unreal bane]

As long as there's demand for something, somebody will find a way to turn a profit.

[bronze moat]

As long as consumers feed their desire for consumption, they will demand the absurd

[half kettle]

there has to be a limit

[bronze moat]

Guss how many people pay $20 a month for a doorbell on their own home?

[half kettle]

Guess what the single largest profitable electronic device in the world is: LOST ipods.

[livid notch]

Don't mind me sticking to old cods then

Absolute golds

[half kettle]

i remember play the futuristic black ops

i think it was black ops 4?

[toxic relic]

what if i painted my dong green and make a stop motion kaiju movie like jackass

[half kettle]

Yes.

[unreal bane]

Speaking of futuristic, Dust Devils warbond is out.

[bronze moat]

It's free for 2 weeks. Then you sub for smart features. current estimates are 8 million people pay $20 million a month for a service controlled by a single server and 4 amazon employees.

are these smart features necessary

[bronze moat]

no. but humans are ADDICTED.

Sony pulls in 250 million a month for PSN accounts

[half kettle]

ps plus?

[bronze moat]

they make 3 billion a year just for PSN subs

So those free games? they cost 50 cents total in labor and power to give to you. that's a drop

[toxic relic]

cinema popcorn system

[tall glen]

I am something

[half kettle]

I know.

[toxic relic]

pay 0.02 dollars for popcorn kernels from distributor, price it at 20 dollars for a medium.

[bronze moat]

It's why people will not rebel against AI. 70% of all ads on Youtube are now AI. no one is leaving the platform over it. They are instead using it to "compete" and make their own profits.

[half kettle]

adblockers getting less effective

[bronze moat]

also a real thing. Popcorn sales created movie theatres

[bronze moat]

Adblockers will be a felony soon. at least 3 US states are passing legislation to make ad blockers a crime

[half kettle]

what!

dude you guys are living cyberpunk

[livid notch]

Counter argument, Fix your fucking ads then

Every time I listen to ads I feel I'm getting lobotomized

[half kettle]

will adblockers give prison time

[last spoke]

Counterargument, my hardware

[bronze moat]

uhh.. Europe my dude. See what happened the last 3 months?

[half kettle]

im not updated on europas happenings

i just know you cant jork it in thew UK

[toxic relic]

do you have a license for that goon cave bruv

shoutout to that buff guy reading smut on wattpad in front of me on the bus last year

i still remember you

[half kettle]

was he shirtless

[toxic relic]

no

[bronze moat]

look up the company called Eyeo. Creator of Adblock Plus. They are already re-writing their TOS to "white list" ads. Meaning their adblock software will NOT block ads that are whitelisted.

translation: Google pays Eyeo. Eyeo lets an ad past their ad blocker. This is real

[toxic relic]

he looked like a gymbro but he was reading some kind of mob boss gay smut

[half kettle]

oh dear

[toxic relic]

i couldnt get the name but i read some of it over his shoulder

i respect him

[half kettle]

what about ublock origion

[last spoke]

Okay that's why we don't use ABP

ABP is ass, use Ublock Origin

[toxic relic]

ublock is peak

you can make custom filters

[half kettle]

surely its gonna get smited

no?

[last spoke]

Ublock origin is a content filter, not an adblocker

[toxic relic]

i have several custom filters from codeberg and github

[half kettle]

what a loophole!

[bronze moat]

everyone wants money my dude. Every adblock company is re-writing things.

Disney just got sued for their "no ads subscription" not removing ads. the lawsuit went no where.

[last spoke]

Ads are just automatically included in those filters

I'd still be able to manually add them if the unthinkable were to happen

Ublock Origin is an open source project, not a company

There is no company

[toxic relic]

ublock is cinema

[half kettle]

everytime i get an add i just put my headphones down or mute the audio

[toxic relic]

bruh

revanced, shorts remover, ublock, sponsorblock

[last spoke]

Nobody gets paid for the maintainance of Ublock origin, and nobody stands to gain a dime for saboraging it

[bronze moat]

All it means is that in the near future, you have to hack systems to avoid ads. That's where the crime will occur in multiple states.

I.e. it's against TOS to modify a nintendo switch. you mod it. you lose it. Youtube? TOS will say you can't use certain ad blockers or you get perma banned.

[toxic relic]

youtube already tracks adblockers

so does twitch

you get a "youtube discourages third party blah blah"

easy to get around though

[last spoke]

Nah, clear cookies and everything's back to normal

[bronze moat]

Google also updated their manifest V3 this year. It blocks ad blockers.

[toxic relic]

real

google can suck my dick

id rather move to gecko than use google

[last spoke]

Daddy google doesn't care if you defend them, there's no reason to be so disingenuous

[bronze moat]

This is the arms race. Users have to spend time and energy to prevent ads. 90% of users don't have the time or energy to fight the ads.

So ads will be a thing for 90% of the population. As intended

[last spoke]

Their shit can't even stop me, imagine someone actually motivated

[bronze moat]

you are an exceptional person tho. Most people are, sadly, average at best

[bronze moat]

how much do you play hollow knight?

[young kelp]

you play as a spider

[young kelp]

98 hours lmao couldn't beat P5 and achieve 112% cause the game lags like hell during P5

[mystic wigeon]

i think its glued to my hand, i can't let go

[toxic relic]

[bronze moat]

I never played hollow knight but I'm gonna play silk song. looks awesome

I'll give it 30-50 hours easy

[young kelp]

Spoilers, one of the coolest boss in the game

[bronze moat]

It drops in 3 hours

I got hat in time last month and liked it a lot. wish i bought it earlier

So silk song is one I wanna get early and play while it's still new and fresh and not all over the internet or has memes about it

[young kelp]

it already has memes about it

its a game that took like 6 years

after it got announced

[half kettle]

not lore spoiling memes no?

[young kelp]

you can't really spoil anything if it doesn't exist

[bronze moat]

yeah I just mean playing it early has something unique to it rather than waiting a few years.

Like journey.

if you played journey year one? SOOOO epic an experience compared to 2 or 3 years later

[half kettle]

ahh i get what you mean

[neon bramble]

NKG is the most fun boss

[bronze moat]

cause you ran into others inside journey. completely different experience because the player base was active

[neon bramble]

no bullshit just schmoove

[half kettle]

i guess if there is one game id wanna go back in time for itd be warframe.

[bronze moat]

Early days dead by daylight and Friday the 13th for me

i played those DAILY

[half kettle]

ohh yeah unfortunately friday the 13th got servers shutdown :(

[bronze moat]

and halo 2. I miss the lan parties and late nights at Denny's eating bacon and eggs while talking about Halo

[bronze moat]

The hacked ones got shut down too. Gun Media is pressing charges against anyone who runs a server

[neon bramble]

I am just going to disappear in the closet once I get my hands on silknuts

[half kettle]

[bronze moat]

[bronze moat]

Ren fair is full of all ages anyway. Most the elders go as old men, wizards, knights, etc. and we all hang at the after parties, drink rum and act like the nerds we are.

Ren fair people are amazing people

[half kettle]

[tacit meadow]

Curb stomp some 13 yr old

[toxic relic]

[toxic hawk]

i don't condone murder but swords are cool

[neon bramble]

I would like to think I will learn swords easier having been trained in beating people with a stick

[quasi slate]

@lyric galleon gonna post DJMAX X Arcaea collab trailers
DLC Trailer and LINEUP trailer after the stream ends

[neon bramble]

but I will probably just get my ass kicked lmao

[toxic relic]

idk i think theres better killing sticks

[bronze moat]

Nope. Actual IRL jousting on a horse

[toxic relic]

even samurai hardly used katanas

[half kettle]

holy shit that ARMOR

magnificient

[toxic relic]

katanas were mostly used for close combat or kills

[rapid goblet]

True but that doesn't make swords any less cool

[bronze moat]

Professional jousters. Not the los vegas show ones

[toxic relic]

samurai mainly fought on horseback with bows and guns

katana after you shoot the guy

[half kettle]

can you imagine a samurai on a horse with an m16

[tacit meadow]

Umm axtually i watchef the last samurai

[toxic relic]

agreed brother

[neon bramble]

spear

[toxic relic]

spears are op

[half kettle]

until your opponent has a longer spear

[toxic relic]

i genuinely thing spear + slingshot is the op combo

[tacit meadow]

The japanese didnt have guns. And walked fave first into machine gun fire coz they didnt know what they were

...this kills the samurai

[toxic relic]

ok baiter go jork in the corner

[bronze moat]

My knight was the blue knight. Sir Edward

[neon bramble]

shield is the best off hand due to simplicity, and the human desire not to get shot

[toxic relic]

real

what are those huge french shields

[half kettle]

ballistic shield and baton combo goes hard

[bronze moat]

Audio cuts out cause iphone. But

[neon bramble]

many people used huge shields

are you talking about the huge portable cover ones

[bronze moat]

REAL WEAPONS. REAL SHIELDS. They mess up and hit each other for real? They die. FOR REAL

[toxic relic]

pavise

[neon bramble]

lots of people used em

[toxic relic]

i like the french ones with the crossbow guys

[neon bramble]

italian mercs that the french liked to hire were notable

[half kettle]

surely a medic is on standby

[bronze moat]

So their fights with maces and swords are choreographed of course.

[bronze moat]

Well yeah. They are professionals.

[neon bramble]

I like how much sense it makes

[bronze moat]

I got a bruised rib in 1996 when my friend shot me with a long bow as I charged across the battlefield in chainmail

Wait…. 1995

[neon bramble]

you see a guy with a huge crossbow and an oversized shield to plant on the ground

[toxic relic]

agree

[neon bramble]

its a very elegant solution to skirmishing

bring your own cover lmao

[half kettle]

where was the battlefield

[toxic hawk]

amiens

[tacit meadow]

Problem with big ass shield is there very heavy

[neon bramble]

skirmishers like archers, crossbows and slings didn't shoot over people total war style

they acted as screens to cover other peoples advance

[toxic relic]

you get another guy to hold it

[neon bramble]

so you did a lot of shooting against other guys doing the exact same thing

[bronze moat]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsic_War

[tacit meadow]

I really like armies that had dedicated shieldbearers

[half kettle]

yo thats so cool

i think i wanna go there

[toxic relic]

yeah werent they just there to force the other side to keep their heads down

its about disrupting formation so you can take advance and inflict damage

[bronze moat]

Basically LARP. But x10,000,000

[tacit meadow]

Like those "300" shield domes with the spears

Thats my fave

[toxic relic]

while minimising your damage

[plush cobalt]

People really believe Silksong will be out in 3 hours... As if

[neon bramble]

to my knowledge shooting an army to pieces directly was hard until the 16th century

[bronze moat]

The battle of 1995 had about 3,000 of us on the field.

The coaches did a “cup check” to make sure you were armored up safely.

Fail the check, you could not fight.

The check? He kicked you between the legs with his full plate armored foot

[toxic relic]

balls

[tacit meadow]

I really believe i lost interest in silksong like 3 years ago

[bronze moat]

Yep

No armored balls? No battle

[tacit meadow]

And even of i didnt the vids iv aeen havent gotten me re excited

[toxic relic]

my balls are but flesh and blood

[half kettle]

how hard did he kick

[bronze moat]

Legit safety check. These days is different, but you WILL get hurt in those events

[toxic relic]

you are excited

[neon bramble]

it stopped activities like scouting, forced people to slow down and tighten up among other things

preferably killing people on the other side trying to do the same thing

[plush cobalt]

Incorrect. The last time I felt excited was 16 days ago.

[bronze moat]

Hard enough that if you did not have a cup you’d cry all day.

They took it very seriously. Cause actual injury is a bad thing

[half kettle]

hmm tetanus is possible i suppose

[plush cobalt]

I am, however, looking forward to playing this game if it truly does come out. Not as fervently as some others, though

[tacit meadow]

Hornet looked very the.vessel.reskin.png

Im not excited at all

[neon bramble]

And attend ren-fair or sale pickles

It's official: UK gamers on PC must go through the online safety act procedures. With 30% ish people in the United Kingdom unable to get a credit card, those people are going to lose access to their Steam libraries.

12 hours ago they locked down even 20 year accounts pending re-verification. Updates are rolling out to adjust store pages, previews, etc.

Looks like 800,000 users are currently locked out (estimate)?

[stone meadow]

chinese are the same way judging by the manhua ive been reading

[toxic relic]

idk, idk anything about japanese culture in any deep way to speculate comfortably

[stone meadow]

also a culture where sexuality is shamed

[stone meadow]

99% of popular manhua ive been reading all have scantily clad women with giant breasts and asses

[bronze moat]

Also a case study on how things listed as shameful always become the things people end up really, REALLY liking.

[toxic relic]

is manga an outlet, or is this an evolution of the similarly erotic art history
or both

[wet fern]

why read manhua with fanservice in it?

[toxic relic]

if the same, or similar, thing is common in other countries, then its not exclusive to japan.
whats the origin of this, the reason, why does it happen

there are mangas that keep that stuff to a minimum, i assume manhuas are the same way

[rain mango]

ill say something controversial

[rain mango]

i did not care for the one within the villainess

[stone meadow]

theres just so much more slop when it comes to manhua in general, probably due to the sheer volume of them

[rain mango]

even tho i read it all

[bronze moat]

I am answer man. Also read the literal history of manga.

Short form: it's both.

Japane always loved "cartoons". Old paintings of a woman holding plums was porn back in the day due to censorship.

Body hair is gross. Feet are gross. Armpits are gross. So counter culture makes those things a fetish.

The law says nothing in cartoon form can be real. Cat girls are not real. So erotic cat girls are legal.

Real girls don't have pink hair. So pink haired girl is legal.

Poof anime as we know it is born because of censorship laws

I liked it, it was an actual villainess for once

[toxic relic]

what about gay

[stone meadow]

not a nice girl with a villainess past from the previous inhabitant of the body

[toxic relic]

i dont care about the straight history

[subtle shoal]

gay history

[bronze moat]

gay guy with magic powers is not real. So guy with magic powers is legal.

99% of hentai is also published in 2 forms. Censored and mosiac for Japanese release, and fully uncensored for US release

[toxic relic]

no more isekai more of this

[toxic relic]

what is hentai

blame is a cool manga

[bronze moat]

adult only manga/anime.

Censorship in japan means it's can be "realistic". Hence all characters have magical powers, or are not human. or have characteristics like spiky hair that is blue, red, pink, etc.

Don't want to delve too deep that direction tho. Are you asking the history of manga and gay culture in Japan?

[toxic relic]

no i know that

[stone meadow]

bl manga manhwa and manhua is pretty popular tbh

[toxic relic]

i hate bl

bl is not for us

[stone meadow]

which is funny cause all of those countries are pretty homophobic

yeah ik its for women

[bronze moat]

It also really only became a things post World War 2

[toxic relic]

it makes sense if you think about how terribly it represents gay people lol

[bronze moat]

Princess Knight was a big hit in the 1950's. Really popular with the LGBTQ community of the time

[subtle shoal]

i ate some chocolate chip cookies

9/10

[velvet scroll]

oh they added bill from l4d? since when?

[bronze moat]

3 or 4 years now

[velvet scroll]

haven't played that game in a long time

Geez, that is cool I like that

[stone meadow]

yeah but the mere notion of two men kissing is extremely frowned upon generally so there is something to how popular they are

[bronze moat]

Bill has a power were he can stand back up after being downed. Really nifty perk

[toxic relic]

hmmm idk

i think its like dave said

[oblique stream]

just a little bit before perfection

[toxic relic]

its so frowned about it becomes seen as an exotic taboo

which is "exciting"

[stone meadow]

maybe

[bronze moat]

Just like in Los Angels tho, hankerchief culture took over and underground gay bars thrived

[toxic relic]

i dont think its a marker of any type of progressive ideals

from my experience at least

[oblique stream]

my collection of stardew valley and its alikes is soon to be 100%ed

Plenty of Japanese Samurai had relations with each other. It is just not spoken of because you can lose face.

The cultural norm is often to just not talk about things. Same with cheating on a spouse. Entire cities are populated by Mistresses. There are even "Mistress houses" of women who are someone's side piece.

You just don't talk about it cause it's not polite.

[toxic relic]

samurai were just rent a cops

[twin bear]

Real

Some did some fucked up stuf for money

[toxic relic]

"oh no a peasant is gonna steal food to feed his family, let me hire this low ranking samurai class guy to destroy an entire town for my high ranking noble safety and ego jorking"

samurai was a social class

[twin bear]

😭

[toxic relic]

they were low ranking nobles that wanted more power

losers

then they got together and killed all the higher ranking nobles and took over

[twin bear]

Very egotistical from the stuff I've read abt em

[toxic relic]

real

[twin bear]

I love it when mfers say theyre honorable

[bronze moat]

English knights did the same. Every empire on the planet did that

[toxic relic]

"NOOOO BROOOO AT LEAST KILL ME IN PUBLIC SO MY STATUS ISNT REVOKED, I NEED MY LORD TO KNOW I DIED FIGHTING PLS BRO PLS"

[toxic relic]

ik knights are the same

they're all pathetic

go suck your lords teet, you baby

[bronze moat]

That's just the human species being the human species

[toxic relic]

wrong

[toxic relic]

lol those rules of bushi/honour were made up after the samurai class was abolished by a guy from a samurai family

[twin bear]

Knights are crazy lmao, one small army literally wiped an entire region of life in the name of a lord that had mental illness

[toxic relic]

go lick your lords boot

[twin bear]

Dude was literally half feral and they just did wut they were told
