was wondering if any of yall heard of it, is it good?

# icy vigil is this real?

It's for real! That dog really did just unleash a water blast like that. And yeah, the old guy totally got blown up by it. It's wild to see something like that actually happen and be caught on camera. I can't believe it's not some kind of special effect. Nature is truly amazing, and sometimes incredibly chaotic. I've watched it like five times already, it's just that unbelievable. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

# quasi slate It's for real! That dog really did just unleash a water blast like that. And yea...

Haha, yeah, that video is absolutely insane! I had to rewind it a few times too because my brain refused to accept it was real at first. The way the dog just unleashes that high-pressure water blast like it's got a built-in fire hose—straight out of a cartoon—is next-level chaos. Poor old guy didn't stand a chance; he got absolutely launched!

Nature (or maybe that dog's owner with a very specific training regimen?) really does throw the wildest curveballs sometimes. It's equal parts hilarious and "what did I just witness?" Glad it was caught on camera so we can all share in the disbelief. What a clip—definitely one for the "can't make this up" hall of fame! 😆

# quasi slate It's actually a GIF, not a video, which is pretty common nowadays. GIFs are thos...

Thanks for the clarification, that actually helps a lot. You’re right that GIFs are everywhere now. They’ve kind of become their own language online. The looping motion makes them feel almost hypnotic sometimes. Not having sound is a big difference people forget about. Videos definitely feel more complete with audio involved. At a quick glance, though, they can look almost identical. Social media really blurs the line between formats. Everything just auto-plays now anyway. So it’s easy to assume something is a video. I appreciate you explaining it without making it awkward. Little clarifications like that are actually useful. It’s funny how fast digital trends change. A few years ago GIFs felt kind of old-school. Now they’re everywhere again. They’re perfect for short reactions and quick moments. You don’t have to commit to watching anything long. That’s probably why they’re so popular. Animated content in general has gotten really creative. People find clever ways to say a lot in a few seconds. It keeps things fun and lightweight. And honestly, mixing things up keeps feeds interesting. No harm done in confusing the two sometimes. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice. Still, it’s cool to know the difference. Thanks again for pointing it out. I always like learning small details like that. Hope your day’s going smoothly so far. Wishing you good vibes today. And yeah, hope you’re having a good one too.

that and unlocking inn items makes it easier

#

just gotta not have meltdowns

Have you played the kingdoms mode?

toxic hawk
#

depends on RNG with combat items

young kelp
#

I tried it once, didn't really like the fatigue mechanic

toxic hawk
#

sometimes i kill the fetus dude

young kelp
#

tho its neat if paired with hellion lmao

toxic hawk
young kelp
#

she wants to be hurt

last spoke
#

Neither

young kelp
#

so the reduced max HP healed/recovered really helps her

last spoke
#

Kingdoms is seperate from confessions

last spoke
toxic hawk
#

rage

#

+3 execution

#

EZ

young kelp
#

thats the thing

#

in kingdoms

toxic hawk
young kelp
#

the fatigue mechanic lowers how much HP a character can fully heal

#

without affecting the max hp

last spoke
#

Yeah, and they recover when resting at an inn

young kelp
#

so hellion could start with like 50% or lower

toxic hawk
#

idk what it even it is

#

and my most hated area is the tangle

young kelp
#

its the witch practically

#

hag rather

last spoke
#

The one with the cauldron right?

young kelp
#

y

#

ye

last spoke
#

I've not played through a lot of DD1

young kelp
#

similar mechanic, although its much easier in a way

#

as the hand can be resisted

#

just save up a bunch of inn items that provides Mov res

last spoke
#

The only bosses I like are Librarian and Harvest Child

young kelp
#

and use them when entering the location of levi

#

Leper with Poet was it? or at least the old poet

toxic hawk
#

one thing i dont really like about DD2, not that its bad, just that i dont like it very much
a lot of the equalizing items, skills combat/inn items and even trinkets are locked behind progress, so the first few runs are doomed to fail anyways and sometimes it feels pretty bad to lose that way

young kelp
#

could just tank the hand and not be captured

last spoke
#

Sleeping general is just so unfun to fight

#

Like if your hero that hits back rank doesn't for an turn that's it, y'done pal

toxic hawk
#

how many deathblows does he take again

#

like 4 ?

last spoke
#

I'm only up to confession 4 lmao, I just haven't played in forever

#

I'm not exactly great at games

young kelp
#

so yea 4 DB to kill it

toxic hawk
toxic hawk
#

so thats neat

young kelp
#

imagine if bosses had RNG deathblows

#

similar to our mercs

toxic hawk
#

DD2 does better than DD1 is the lesser reliance on RNG imo

#

Tokens are an amazing mechanic

young kelp
#

Tokens are neat ye

last spoke
#

Death armour vs Execute

young kelp
#

dd1 is more around preventing the risk

toxic hawk

which is nice with how much trinkets are in the game

last spoke
#

We all love Dismas

young kelp

Dismas is stupidly good in dd2

toxic hawk
#

doesnt matte what skills

young kelp
#

sharpshoot with double tap is also really nice

toxic hawk
#

i need to upgrade highway robbery

#

stealing tokens sounds so funny

young kelp
#

multiple chances to crit + chance to finish off enemies + Mark token

last spoke
#

I really like the paths system

#

How each hero is actually 5 heroes

young kelp

Dismas be stealing all of it

toxic hawk

Confession 3 has been my favourite boss

#

I HATED seething sigh though

young kelp

thats the 2nd boss?

#

the lungs

toxic hawk
#

lungs is easy

last spoke
#

Seething sigh yeah

toxic hawk
#

i had trouble with the eye tho

#

even lost a hero

last spoke
#

I died to the eye once and was like "waaaait I get it" and rolled it next time round

young kelp
#

stealth is good against the eye

#

taunt kinda is too

toxic hawk
young kelp
#

at least you can force only 1 guy to tank the hits

toxic hawk
#

When grave robber hits that 40 crit lunge

#

i live

last spoke
#

Crit path grave robber was so fun against the eye

young kelp
#

wait wasn't there a stupid cheese against the eye with PD?

#

9999 bleed or some shit

toxic hawk
#

my mistake against the eye was not using first phase to set up

young kelp
#

right I think there was

last spoke
young kelp
#

the path surgeon was it? the stab skill if it hits a mark token

toxic hawk
young kelp
#

it gains a permanent +1 bleed applied

toxic hawk
#

what

last spoke
#

Confession 1 boss has permanently etched "DENIAL OF FORTITUDE" into my vocabulary

young kelp
#

and stacks with no limit, so people kept farming the first phase eyes until PD got to reach that much bleed applied

toxic hawk
#

i do wish we had more than one resolution type like in DD1

#

but imo i think meltdowns are much better handled in DD2

young kelp
last spoke
#

I was playing Buckshot Roulette against Echo, Zee and I think Xal, I was full health but had adrenaline, so I kept using my adrenaline and stealing all their cigarettes and yelled "DENIAL OF FORTITUDE"

toxic hawk
#

trauma

last spoke
#

I'm pretty sure relationships functionally replace the boons and afflictions from resolve checks in DD1

#

Because hitting a lot of resolute is likely gonna make good relationships and vice versa

young kelp
#

the virtous buffs, I miss those in dd2

#

some of them were nice

last spoke
#

Virtuous, that's the word

toxic hawk
#

makes no sense i know

#

i just like it

last spoke
#

Yeah fair

#

I've definitely preferred DD2 because I just prefer lower stakes y'know

#

Like I get that the stakes are the point of DD1

#

But I'm just not like that y'know

toxic hawk
#

understandable

#

i've yet to finish DD1

young kelp
last spoke
#

DD2 is good because it means a goob like me can enjoy the combat system DD has while not being overwhelmed by permanent consequences

young kelp
#

related to their lore of something

toxic hawk
#

like the religious have their own

#

idk "illumination"

last spoke
#

Oh now THAT would be swagskies

toxic hawk
#

young kelp
#

iirc flag does have their own

#

Toxic or something

#

What about Dismas?

toxic hawk
#

im still thinking deadeye

#

but he also has a knife

last spoke

Crusader would for sure have rekindled

young kelp

Leper is probably Steadfast

#

Oh for jester
Bodacious

ive done it dawg

young kelp
#

besides those

#

its really just mostly experienced by playing

signal badge
young kelp
#

there are guides, tho I think some are outdated by now

#

especially on 42

#

lots of changes in 42

young kelp
#

is it Beta branch

#

or normal branch

#

cause that'd be 41

#

42 requires you to manually change into it

hot snow
#

then probably 41

#

tshould i be playing on 42?

young kelp
#

stick to 41 for now

signal badge
#

Should isn't the right word.

hot snow
#

what do you mean?

young kelp
#

its stable and got mods

#

unless 42 got mod support now

#

and Imissed the news

hot snow
#

i was just playing vanilla for now then later i might move into some mods

toxic hawk
signal badge
#

It depends on the experience you are looking for.

If you want a solid minimal bug experience, then play Build 41. If you want to see all the fun new features while they're being smoothed out, play b42.

I recommend you learn on b41 for stability sake then migrate to b42 when you feel skillful

toxic hawk
#

there aren't many game breaking bugs in B42 anyways

#

you'll be fine

timber orchid
grand comet

it works

When you turn it on, there'll be like press F7 or F12 or F2 or F8 or Del or F1 or whatever to go into BIOS

grand comet
#

i use it to play zomvoid

last spoke
#

And from there you select the boot media you made earlier and just boot into that

grand comet
#

neeext

last spoke
#

Then the boot media comes with an installer

timber orchid
last spoke
#

YOU HAVE FUNCTION KEYS

timber orchid

grand comet
#

yeah thats alr too much for me

#

Put a lightweight OS on there and you'll eke out an alright deal of performance

grand comet

it's not amazing it's a pretty shitty system all things considered

grand comet

im not risking my current obsession on like marginally better performance on an already buns system

last spoke

It's buns BECAUSE of windows

grand comet
#

it's gonna brick the puter and i'll be left ZOMVOIDLESS

last spoke
#

You cannot brick it

grand comet
#

it's bad guys i cant go a few hours without playing it

last spoke
#

Like absolute worst case scenario you just put windows back on it

grand comet
last spoke
#

The laptop won't LET you brick it

grand comet
#

i accidentally got locked out for a month bc i launched windows on safe mode and didnt know i had bitlocker enabled

#

so i didnt know my key and it wouldnt let me see it

quasi slate
last spoke
#

Oh god bitlocker

grand comet
#

so i had to do some thingymabob and it reset after a month

#

thank GOSH i got it back

#

i was scared

#

so yeah not risking it again

last spoke
#

Yeah literally why would moving away from windows cause issues then?

#

Again, that's a windows issue

grand comet

i almost lost it once

I'm so confused about your logic here

grand comet

for pursuit of the arch

last spoke
#

Like

grand comet
#

im not gonna do some operating system bs and risk losing it again

#

i'm playing it safe from now on

last spoke
#

Why would deleting windows risk the thing that windows caused?

last spoke
#

Yes like

grand comet
#

just the fact that i almost lost my entire laptop once

plush cobalt
grand comet
#

is making me cautious

#

and im not gonna do some shit that'll risk my laptops safety again

last spoke

Stockholm syndrome

grand comet
#

because thats 400 dollars that my mom spent and im not bricking it for no reason

#

i think 500

#

i forgot

#

it was on sale though but still

last spoke
#

Again, how do you risk bricking it while you're actively firing the mason?

grand comet

not risking the entire system for linux 💔

I was joking earlier about not surviving winter but damn

They're like 15 bucks from behind the counter at the servo

grand comet

mcdonalds money

quasi slate
last spoke
#

It's annoying when people just convince themself that something is gonna be crazy difficult for no reason

#

Like just in plain English, what are you worried about doing wrong?

grand comet
#

how would you even delete windows lol

last spoke
#

Are you worried you'll click the next button incorrectly?

#

The installer handles that

grand comet
#

you said some weird shit earlier about bios and whatever

#

im not going into these weird menus and risking my machine

last spoke
#

You're not risking anything

grand comet
#

theres gonna be some bs thats gonna happen cuz i have the worst luck

last spoke
#

You're just selecting the USB drive

grand comet
#

either way i dont have a usb drive so it doesnt matter

last spoke
#

You don't even need to go all the way in, just to the boot menu

grand comet
#

i think i might but idk

#

somewhere stowed away in a box or a bin

plush cobalt

Scarf I know this is heresy but it's okay for someone to not want to switch to Linux

Like again, you're inventing issues to run into

last spoke
grand comet
#

people dont wanna risk turning their 400 dollar laptop into a glorified slab of metal

#

crazy

plush cobalt
last spoke
#

And I'm telling you that that's not a risk

plush cobalt

You can explain away that it's a safe process, but at the end of the day it's their machine

that sounds wonderful

That was

not pilk

An experience

grand comet

how bad was pilk

Was worth it though

i never tried pilk

Pilk is not something you'd ever seek out, but it's just like
Not as awful as it sounds

It's just weird

if i did i'd probably puke depending on how much i hate it

I had TimTams earlier today but I ate 'em

Next time we get milk I'll get some TimTams too

grand comet

if it reaches a certain threshold of disgust then i will puke, the higher it is after that threshold will intensify it

probably

when my grandma was teaching me how to milk a cow all we did was just run the milk through a straining filter to get rid of all the dirt and it was the best milk i've ever had ever

can i switch to ios

is that possible

technically

that'd be interesting

steam os

iOS is the phone operating system

There wouldn't be ISOs for macOS, no

macos mb

i just say ios as a blanket term

i know it's inaccurate but idrc

But the GNOME desktop environment will replicate much of the feel of macOS which you can select while installing most distros

When you install the operating system, you'll have options for how it'll look and feel

plush cobalt

Desktop environment = thing that controls style of the interface

#

They can be independent of distro

grand comet
#

why

#

thats so dumb dude

last spoke
#

GNOME is a desktop environment will act a lot like MacOS where as KDE, the one we use replicates the feel of Windows

grand comet
#

why do they make it hard on purpose

plush cobalt
#

What is hard about that 🤔

#

Seems like a fairly straightforward concept

grand comet
#

like now i have to make sure everything is compatible

last spoke
#

There's many others, but those are by far the most popular

#

No you don't

grand comet

ts like am5 with ddr5 ram or whatever

Well sorta sometimes, but it's less incompatibility and more just being built for different versions

Like for some you may have to rebuild yourself
