you think i have time for dating between 2 jobs and 3 hours of travel time
Gonna ask the devs to give you a raise🕊️
I know this feeling all too well. I wake up at 7am every day, get the oldest kiddo to school, take care of the other 1-3 kiddos depending on the day of the week, and nights I work from 4-11 I stayup till 2-3 am to spend time with the wife, then do it all over again,. 3-4 days a week I get about 3.5-4 hours of sleep a night
This right here is why, if my game gains any traction, I'll definitely be paying my mods for logged hours of time online.
I’m gonna make the assumption your in your 30s not to be rude or anything just assume so you only have about 20 years left of prime human life sir you need to go live some of it go on a date find happiness my guy
I’m also a rather busy man, between zomboid, counterstrike cases, and school, it leaves little room in my very packed schedule
Justice for frogski
Oh, well, that's not all that bad then
he gets to chat with your average discord degen and get paid for it
the pay is just enough to barely survive on my main job i went to college for
we do it for free
Probably what the rest of us do, tbh
Figure it out
Find joy😔
wouldnt be able to afford rent more than a single room tho
Degen gamble 
its hard out here in thye trenches man
no wonder so many of my coworkers get married and stuck in marriages they hate, just to afford living
Eh... I ditched a seven year relationship I wasn't happy in, even knowing that she made 4x my income a year.
I'll take broke and happy over well off and miserable
Half of em still cant even afford housing even with dual income
just about affording rent on more than 1 room
man we're fucked
What job did you truly want
Is that like coding?
its just that most jobs dont keep up with living costs
I’m in pilot training that’s my goal
im better off than 75% of the country income wise and i still cant afford a mortgage or more than a 1 bed flat
Uk?
yeah
engineering technician
Damn you got one of those fancy accents per chance
engineers plan shit, techs build it
I feel like this is going to require you to make some difficult choices if you want your own place. Like living in the sticks.
Its what I did.
But I own my house
its just insane that thats what we have to do at all
its not normal
Sounds confusing but good income
my older family could work jobs that in the current economy cannot sustain one person much less a family
To be honest, I prefer living away from everything. I don't get any of the bullshit from riots/protests, we have an almost nonexistent crime rate, I can let my kids outside without worrying about some predator trying to take them.
yet they have houses
It's honestly nice.
in areas i live in
You ever been to America
america isnt doing good but uk is probably doing worse tbh
I've owned my home since I was 19, in the USA
our land is limited
a lot of ownership is also not even ownership
its 100 year contracts
True, america you don't pay property taxes, they yoink your shit
USA ain’t the best but it’s not the worst depending on state you live in
Nah americas a shitshow bro. theres more issues than just the housing market that other countries don't deal with
Dude ain’t no way that’s legal😭
I wonder who between canadeh and uk is doing worse for the average joe
Thank the crown
You rent the land from the royals
The USA has situations like this, it's primarily farmers. Some of them are 5th generation mortgages
like we're peasants
tbh from talking to leon my rent is not quite as bad as his
close though
Yea but atleast I get to eat cheeze burgers and feel red white and blue in my vains before the processed meat gives me cancer🦅
Nah, fuck the red white and blue man. I'm a veteran and this country makes me sad I ever served
I kinda hope for it to fall apart
Dude why does Britain still have that
I get where your coming from but I hope it fixes itself before such events occur
I doubt it. it's been a steady decline for years
i suppose at least with leases and mortgages its somewhat stable
at least its not rent going from £700 a month to £1200 within 4 years
Eh. Mortgage payments may not change unless you take out a second one, but leases can shift yearly.
Jesus
At one point, for a mobile home, I was paying almost 2,000usd a month
i mean uk 100 year leases
Is it a locked price though?
If not, yall need to reform that
you basically "own" the property but you dont really
Dude genuinely the most fucked up thing
its a quirk of the uk
Dog that ain’t a quirk you need to survive a hundred years of paying bills on a home you got in your 30s to 20 in the chance you live that long to even have hope of passing it down
you can renew it
you dont ever truly own it tho
and they can get away with it cause there isnt much space for new buildings nor can you really find anything cheaper
Balls.
Balls
🤝
I know a few people saving deposits for housing, but the requirement for the deposit increases a lot faster than they can save
So if they were saving 20k for a 10% deposit on a 200k house, that house now costs 400k, so they have to save for longer, and by the time they scrounge 40k the house is worth 600k
saving is no longer reasonable, loans are the main way to lock in a price, and that comes with its own interest and waste of money
You don't ever truly own anything in the USA either. There are property taxes, which are essentially just land leases.
Oh we got property taxes too
all kinds of taxes
but at least the bank cant easily take away the house
I think an immediate 28% of all my pay goes ttraight to taxes.
if you own it of course
No, the bank can't, but the government can seize your property here if you don't pay them
Our tax brackets start at 20%
Its incremental tax tho
Im fine with tax, it goes to the right place, mostly
I'm not, ours doesn't
Where I live we have Federal, State, County, income taxes, and if you work outside the county you live in, you pay an out of county worker tax of like 3% f your income, so you lose 31-34% of your income before you ever see it.
Yet working in county, you ahve no sustainable jobs
It's mostly why I swing a hammer for a living
I can get paid cash, and make upwards of 200usd an hour if its my own personal business job
What, not reporting all income or is it somehow discounted
What do you mean? Cash I can just not report, if I feel like it.
but yeah id much rather lock in a mortgage than rely on rent
But being married, anything under 36k a year I get all tax back
I spoke to some of my coworkers who mortgage their houses and they pay so much less
like one of em paying £600 a month for a HOUSE
I was moreso saying that, since I run a small construction business, I make far more money than any job I could be employed at.
a proper one, 4 bed
That wont even get you a garage where i live
700 quid for a room in a share house
he got in 4 years ago
I got lucky, in all honestly, while I pay upwards of 1k a month for electric in the cold months, during the summer, my utilities average around 500-600 a month
No mortgage, no lease, no rent
yeah your money goes to your property
one of my biggest gripes is that im paying for someone else
Nah, it goes into my kids and onto my kids xD
and mine goes into a strangers pocket
Gotta feed and clothe them
I'm not sure about UKs infrastructure, but I really think the US tax system is fucked, it lines greedy rich peoples pockets, and doesn't get used for infrastructure repair like it should in my state
The roads around me haven't been repaired in over 20 years
our taxes arent great either but i do reckon its at least doing something
rent tho is mostly going to landlords
who already paid off the cost of the property years ago so i pay them and they get to do whatever with my payment that cost almost twice what they paid a month
It's why people in the US can't afford to save as well
Ima give frogski free rewards points when im done pilot school😭
See, I've got a plan for when my parents are old and gone. I'll end up with their house, my house, and a second property I own, I'll rent all three out, and my wife and I are gonna just travel once the kids are out of the house
Brother, I have quite literally never traveled other than when I was military
Can't afford that shit
See my family doesnt own anything
🕊️
since we moved here with no ownership
My parents rent
i rent
we all rent
and it costs more and more
USA doesn’t give a fuck bout vets for some reason
i know i wont inherit anything
Yeah, tell me about it. Im disabled due to service related injuries, and get a whopping 338 a month
Wrong, you will definitely inherit something
Had to reseat my gpu because I baby it too much when I set it
Debts!
Kept getting black screens lol
Well at least thats illegal in the uk
gotta be assertive with your hardware
Ah, you lucky goober
i wont inhreit debts i just wont inherit shit
That's one good thing about the USA, debts of a person go away when they die, unless they have a surviving spouse. It doesn't transfer to the children
Most expensive part, I bout shit myself even holding it
also usually the most sturdy part aside from the psu
ALL BUILT ON A MINECRAFT HARDCORE WORLD BTW! 😱
Huh interesting
Well I’ll be done messing with this thing later this week once I drop it off at the shop
Am not ripping the cpu cooler out
but yeah easier to be really confident with hardware if you have a lot of system builds under your belt, so I get it
Even my first system build, I wasn't necessarily careful. And since then, I've built hundreds of towers
Never built any
I feel like tearing it apart with little to no knowledge is probably a little bit more risk than putting it together no?
Computer internals aren't fragile, other than CPU pins
My pc kept getting corrupted due to a bad psu
reading your user manuals makes everything more accessible tbh
I live by rtfm
I'm a redneck brother, we don't read shit
We just rawdog everything
turns out it could only put out 650w
i gently open the door
and i was stressing it with my extra load from the 5800x3d
so it would turn itself off and corrupt windows
lesson learned, use good psus
I live by Corsair PSUs
I've had the same PSU since 2014
i have an 850w plat corsair in my system rn
then you live by seasonic psus, corsair just rebrands them
My PSU has been through about 7 iterations of my pc
too bad they decided to stop being consumer items
Well, yeah, but it's the point Im making.
no more corsair due to ai
excellent partnership that benefited soooo many people
use puss
Also, my PC never shuts off, its ran nearly 95% of the year for the past 10+ years
Other than upgrades, updates, and power outages, my pc stays on
keeps wear and tear to a min
I have a question
makes sense
im lucky my pc didnt melt tbh
Current uptime since last update
shek attacked a caravan, bert made off wit all the food
Can’t say no to stolen free food
What’s to like about Roblox
Other than maybe having no games and it’s free, but even then.. it’s not 2010 anymore. There are plenty of fun free games
its for people who can only afford one game so they can play all the other game remakes in it
Bruh, how you gonna pop in, ask why I'm here, then not respond lol
sweeeeet not sure when they gave it away but apparently I already have dead island 2 through egs




gonna be a while before I finish dead island but love it when that happens
Should keep an eye on epic games stores, they give all sorts of AAA games away weekly
For free
yup, that's how I wound up with DI2 lol
I don't get it either
I think I've bought like two games on epic
like
u dont really see uncs
and I mean uncs not in a bad way
like
@lilac quarry look at you two pottoas
like is it fun? I never played it even back in highschool
parent
with 4 kids
and usmc veteran people here
by the way, thank you for serving sir.
Cause I still have my own personal free time?
yeah that makes sense
wtf where is my cool armour
I wanna get shocked always
i havent gone back down there yet i kept getting pwned lol
Well, currently, waiting on a ban appeal for the rimworld discord, but I play Zomboid, and kinda just use the showcase section to log my game dev shenannigans
over 500 games on my egs acct, I rarely miss a giveaway
Holy shit even though it’s in town the Shek don’t care about my theft from that pesky caravan
why do everyone i know play pz ALSO play rimworld 😭
lol you're an interesting dad thats for sure
I kickstarted RW and was a discord mod for them for almost 4 years, I hadn't played zomboid till last year
I mixed up the two for a while 😐
idk why
tuff
They go hand in hand, scratching different sides of the same itch
i am more interesting in story games
ahh
very good way of wording that
yeah I honestly always want top down games to speak to me more than they do
bravo
Gimme like.... 5 more years, and I got a whole ass 6man squad for video games. My wife, me, and the 4 girls
then I install like dead island and get sucked in
The dream
🤘
its pretty fun, im bad at it so never got hooked into it like i did with pz , but its fun
Getting my 4 sisters into gaming
lmfaoo
living the life man
luckkyyy
hahaa
mkk
The only difficult parts gonna be figuring out how to have 6 pcs in the house lol
Plus the home media/hosting server Im making
Nice
worst part is gonna be the specs for each depending on what they play 😔
excluding the internet
I have gigabit internet access
Lots and lots of wires
me too lol
Eh, I get some pc parts cheap as fuck on the regular. bought my 4060 for 50usd
why does this guy remind me of my dad so much 😭😭
I had no coaxial cable in this house so I just drilled a hole in the floor and ran 150ft under the house
I have 2 separate 100ft ethernet cables running through the attic to my wife and I's pc
the military shit, ( or whatever it was called ) the tech knowledge, and the family 😭
holy ball
Already got a good start then 
daemon I feel like you'd know about mgs
If I can get the wife to agree and let me make a room in the attic space, I'll make it a gaming room for everyone
Every good gamer knows about mgs
I have enough space to put a 20x20 room upstairs
nono no
every peak gamer
knows abt my furry protogen
It sounds like you put a bathroom curtain in your living room but ik wym
You gotta give me more than that. I don't remember abbreviations or acronyms for shit
You’ve got a fabric divider for the living room?
Yeah doesn't rly sound like I mean my bathroom is part of my living room
It's a curtain
No door?
Hideo Kojima
Oh, Original old school MGS?
Someone else shitting at your house must induce ptsd levels of fear in them
I've not played metal gear since the PS2
You played some of the good ones then 
It's at least a good curtain
and when they are pixels, they are hard asf
But yeah
On a similar note, I found my original PS1 a few months back ins torage
look at super mario
And a bunch of games
Man, my first gaming system my family ever bought me was a NES then a SNES
ye lol same as my dad
At least you did something about it ☺️
Your dads probably older than I am? I think?
I hope.
Nah you’re getting old
My room would make a perfect drug den safehouse ngl
I'm barely outta my 20s xD
what the heck my nitro is GONE
According to Gen Alpha we are old now
Small high windows and heavy ass door all one room shi that's a fortress
Welcome to old age
damnnn
i thought u were like
30
idk
cus the family
the uhh
That’s what rock and roll does to someone
usmc
Eh, I tell my wife all the time, considering the men in my family historically only live to at most 63, I'm midlife right now
I'm 32
oh damn!
I understand this as an American
I was right kinda 😭
I waited till I was almost 30 to have my first kid.
I have a 1, 2, 4 and 8 year old
haha thank god I'm not gonna have kids.. probably
the 8 year old is a stepkid

Honestly, I said the same, then my cunt of an ex talked me into 2 of them. Then walked out one day, tried to come back, and I told her to get fucked while she was pregnant with the second one
Then met my wife, and had another kid 11 months after
And took my ex to court for joint custody and won
My 1 year old and 2 year old are technically irish twins, almost exactly 11 months apart
I say technically because they are different mothers, but since they have a common biological parent, they are considered irish twins for being born in the same calendar year
Wait.... Have I been spelling calendar wrong my whole life?
Its and a at the end, not an e.
God damn.
Specific details aside my friend’s kids are similar age to yours, he’s 22 already got 4 kids
Used to be the most carefree, reckless, person I knew who never wanted the responsibility. He really surprised me with the 180 he did
The responsibility you hold is something I could never, hell I don’t even wanna start driving LOL
I did the same, my family tell me quite often they never expected me to be as good a dad as I am.
To put it in perspective, I was a collosal manwhore.
That’d be my friend in his teens
I was a virgin till the military xD
I’m proud of him, he’s a good dad. I’m sure you are too
My kids are happy, healthy and well fed, that's all that matters
If I'm being completely honest, my wifes the one that talked me out of never getting married. After a 7 year failed relationship with the mother of my first 2 girls, I intended to remain single, but met my wife on a dating app one day, went to have a smoke session with her, and hit it off. Rest is history.
Shes by far the coolest woman I think I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Coming up on 2 year marriage anniversary in June.
I'm sure she'll see this later, she's in the server lol
Charisma 10 Character 😆
Always have been xD

they are racist to other bugmen
lol i got it free
Oh so you robbed?
Ruin hunting is more profitable

I should just kill people who I'm breaking into there home after that it really not stealing if they dead

kenshi
kenshi nugget edition
Idk wtf this is xD But I need it
Oh, I've avoided kenshi because of the cult following its had xD
I've been considering getting Enshrouded.
its a good game
idk about the cult following, never noticed it
I've read a ridiculous amount of comments on videos on youtube
stickbug
bro just stick leg day
he's also like 8 foot tall
Skipped the fuck outta leg day
looks like Wow
I see all sand.
Yeah, it looks almost like Burning Crusade outlands.
beep solo
no beep needs to have his metal friend
agnu and beep sitting in an tree
needs a cheeseburger, or 12
I would smash agnu
Im so confused about what this conversation is lol
you need to find agnu, and hint is he in the laser zone.
Time to take a break from coding for a bit and play something.
Gotta keep the burnout away lol
Plus, Im fucking dreaming in code at this point,.
these two
robot
Sure, having never played Kenshi or watched anything other than some random ass 100 day run, I have no idea who those are lol
Bro, why are there so many god damn hentai related games all over the internet, buncha degenerates
I look through online game lists, its like every other game lol
People need to go get laid.
maybe turn off porn games from ur steam feed.
lmao
It ain't steam. I don't see them on steam.
gooners are cash money for some people
why is it so hard for devs to make a blanket mod for zomboid that doesnt have 500 bugs
I like how gooners has essentially taken place of "basement dwellers" in most contexts
My sister's friend was about to strip to get something I dropped on my pool cover-
there was a time when it meant anything but?
Yessss!! Me too!
There was a time where it wasn't a thing.
I had no idea what the term meant until I joined this server
Plastic
Not electric
I ain't rich lol
playing zomboid with my wife
Terminator
Mods
I mean, free strip for you or some shit? xD But, to be fair, if she were to walk on the cover and ti collapse, no clothing might help her because it won't weigh ehr down.
Back in my day, gooner was a very niche internet word that referred to something far more depraved than what its usage has expanded to
I turned them ALL off
aren't the plastic ones dangerous because they can wrap around you and make it hard to surface if you fall in?
Skill issue
Nah
I get on them sometimes lol
Verify integrity of files, maybe
also did
I think it might be
Previous B41 mods in same save file
Skill issue
can the crab evolve
Doesn't mean they are safe.
She got to her bra before my sister stopped her frfr
Skill issueeeee
I quit 
Omar please
Damn yall r just jealous girls r flirting with me
No
lol
I'm just talking from the amount of people that have drowned/suffocated from them, theya ren't safe, because people think its a smart idea to walk on them.
Omar is getting me some hopefully not poisoned food
Even hard pool covers aren't meant to be walked on
It will be poisoned and I'm telling you that and I expect you to still eat it anyway
It will also be Good
guys where is the military base
better be a 5 star chef
Omar Omar in the room, where is the nearest mailbox I can make boom
I have someone who flirts with me 24/7/365 lol
I've mailed you the coordinates of a P.O. Box
I mean girls
sure
Plural bud
She didn't mean walk
She was just going to glide kinda idk
Idfk
Mean Girls the movie
tis why dumb ways to die gif

Prior to my wife, I had well into the 15-20 mark, is what it is, eventually you'll grow bored of it.
This is embarrassing for both of y'all
How so?
Cool
Omar tell us of your conquests
I'm just saying j bad a good day
and by conquests I mean your reading list, what do you recommend
I don't think any of us actually care
I was a manwhore bro, you think I really care what people think? xd
Back in my day I “did sex” with thousands, no, millions of—oh. I mostly read textbooks but I did enjoy a book that also made me mad sometime last year
ok what kind of textbooks tho
I also enjoy reading textbooks
but only medical
I won't disclose the number of people I've been with. Not just women.
Linguistics primarily, specifically ones about particular languages when I'm looking into them
Military made me quite the explorative one.
YouTube has ruined the word polyglot for me
new word for me
If I ever decide to learn a language beyond English and Korean I'm going with “linguaphile” (which is not a paraphilia)
why?
because of those pretentious people who use it as a constant flex?
I'm going with Yoruba.
Because a large amount of YouTube polyglots are insufferable people who use languages and their native speakers for clout yeah
Hell yeah, good choice
I know enough of it as is to still pick up on conversations of random Nigerian people I come across in public.
The only Yoruba word I know of is, unfortunately, alaye (there should be an accent in this, idr where)
short is here
I know what you mean as far as accent is concerned. Yoruba was difficult for me to pick up on because of the sheer amount of vowels used and difference in pronunciation per word.
I believe it's tonal, which wouldn't make that any easier—I mostly meant in the spelling, I wouldn't even begin to be able to pronounce it without looking up the IPA 😅
But, working in a warehouse as the only white dude, with 75-80 Nigerians and being willing to learn their language made me quite popular with the women xD
herehego
Honestly why I even began learning it, cause at that time, I had a thing for a woman I worked with
To win one's heart all you need is to give them some good food and speak their language — John Sex
Having a partner who speaks the language is certainly helpful for learning, I imagine having a crush is a decent motivator too
Yeah, that was something that was said to me at one point by one of them "The best way to learn a language is tongue to tongue" verbatim
merp
SMOL
im guessing those women think you're pretty fly
for a white guy
I imagine you get a notification whenever evelyn joins chat so you can do this
I tend to change the way I speak to match those around me. I found myself talking in a more British English dialect over American English when around them.
Technically everyone does this on some level, although not to the level of dialect
i speak in an english accent when in public
it actually a whole alarm systems the lights turn red and the house alarm goes off and will only turn off after i yell SMALL
because it hides my vocal stim
because im an autist and hearing my normal voice instantly reveals that i sound fuckin stupid LOL
To some degree, yeah, but I match it down to slang and pronunciation of words.
A lot of people hate the way they sound.
This is valid
hiii
hi twink
hoi
you mean to say that you say bruv and bo'ol o wa'a on purpose?
rest now child when you awake you will have legs
Bruv for English, bud for canadian, bro for american lol
bro wtf
Anyone wanna play dedicated server with me
guys
gals
Nuh uh
you flip them around
also no sound effects 🙁
sometimes
money
with almost 1k hours in kenshi I have never bothered with drugs
my money is honestly acquired through terrorism, plunder and spelunking
mrrrp
I bought in the swamp for 95% price mark up and selling it at a 490% price mark up
how much net profit do you make per trip
I started with 1,500k and now I'm 11,692 so 10k profit
this isn't even the max profit this is just the start
flats lagoon need there drugs
need more strength to sell a wooden bag full of it
fr fr
reminds me of the storm we had last week
beak fent leaning at the drug store waiting for it to open
Yes
You found the toilet paper house egg
Last time I found it had a shit ton of toilet paper but no food
i remember when i got the jason voorhees zombie
I dont like demos or teasers
just get blueballed over something I can't have
would rather just forget it exists until release day
I feel that for sure
but I also feel that with games that come out lol
the worst part is the last few days
like I know a large majority of games release completely unfinished so once they drop it's like 2-3 years until they're playable
perfect example stalker 2
and 100% the fallout 3 "remaster" in a few days
since I have the money I just buy indie games twice sometimes
if there's a version available in gog
I hope it's like oblivion remake
because I want to shove more money into devs I like
wym
trash?
I just hope the skeleton is good enough for mods to make it enjoyable after a while
on the same engine?
And they ruined the leveling
I still think Morrowind and daggerfall had better leveling
it'll most likely be on whatever new engine they're using
so the starfield one I'm guessing
Imagine paying for fallout 3 again
I have no idea obviously
Of all games
yeah they should just remaster fallout tactics smh
Gunplay and shi was the best part of fo4
a new good turn based fallout game sound sick
I never did like VATS in any of it's iterations in the 3d action RPGs
Someone in a yt video once said shooting without cats in old fallouts was impossible
Not the guns themselves
turn based usually has more fun use of the skill systems
It's very playable half the time I just forget vats exists
I hate fallout 4's system of take this skill multiple times for a flat +20% damage increase
Anyone who cares slightest about how guns look and feel would not play fallout 3 and 4
Woah woah woah
Fallout 3 gun design is fine
cyberpunk 2077 has the right idea
I'd say tarkov does gun design well I wonder why they're so believable
fallout nv 
ARPGs play on a different ball game than PVP tactical shooters
since the former is far more likely to suffer from over long TTK
I can't play long ttk games
MY drug selling is paying off
I like short fights unless it's mechs the fights should be short and violent
I was gonna bring up mechwarrior lmao
long TTK is acceptable there since there is player input in how long you can stall your death
I hate my stupid skeleton life
delaying your death is between your own ability to spread incoming damage and your opponent's inability to focus fire components
This is peak male body performance
welcome back torsolo
bro a little silly like that
He looks to good I need to fix him
He perfect
I gonna name him Gurt
avg human size near gurt
can you make a Leon and then feed him to the fogmen please
thank you
it's how I'd want to go out irl
do I get the asian baddie at least like Leon
upgrades, people
Well, I'm sold lol
what sold you
"Fuck Windows"
i guess ur easy to sell something
Nah, not really,w as a salesman for a bit lol
Im just looking at windows alternatives for a home media server that isn't linux
never heard of atlas
Looked at ReactOS which has been around since 96, but its limited in its functionality as far as apps and compatibility goes
SapphireOS discord link isn't working for me which is the only place you can download it
very foreign softwares
Bold claims.
I'm looking at windows based minimalistic alternatives, because I really don't have the energy to deal with learning the ins and outs of linux atm
maybe just wait until the right moment to switch softwares?
Apparently atlas is used a lot by esport orginations
I had a stroke... Organizations.
Its also endorsed as a good OS by LTT
If it breaks something its okay, its going onto a pc that has parts from pre-ryzen
Ah, it requires a current install of windows on the system.
back from shower hiii
I guess its just kind of a "bloat remover"
So close
Steam OS is super good TBH.
But looks like Amazon and other corpo’s that failed “operation replace steam” last year have now paid off courts and lawsuits are in the works
oii, bora jogar
Also this
how did this become crab chat
Don’t worry, in a day or LESS it will become something like Creb Chateu or similar
i blame it on Citizen Snips
looking forward to what it gets renamed to next
Should be “foxy roxy is cutest PZ survivor chat” but they denied my petition
with any luck it will become sunfish chat
It been crab_chat since the dawn of crabs
We all have crabs
But also like the disease aswell sorry. I made it airborne
my character decided its his time and randomly started taking dmg in obenseuer
rip
im fully healthy
idk why hes dying
i even checked with the doctor and he said it too lmao
better than tuna helper
ok real
this is kinda pissing me off because the progress on this game is fucking difficult
stop fucking killing me
I DIED OF RADIATION
THE GUY SAID I WAS PERFECTLY FUCKING HEALTHY
why would you listen to some random guy
always listen to shady guys instead
how did you get irradiated?!
the penis md
his actually name is pena
BUT HES A FUCKING DICKHEAD
I'd go back and take them out for their misdiagnosis
You sound like someone that might understand OS options, as far as linux is concerned what would be your recommendation if any? I see Debian being a consistent fork around posts
i dont use linux, i use windows 10
Ah, nvm then
No worries
they know linux very well
Scarf?
she
@last spoke
Ah
i just checked the stats in the command console
Whar
i have literally no health effects other than a mushroom addiction and im using substitute pills for that
I've been pung
if you're open to talking linux I'm down
AND YET IM STILL TAKING DAMAGE LIKE HUH
linux
Im looking at installing linux on a media server and they said you know quite a bit
ubuntu straight up remains one of the easiest, most user friendly distros
jellyfin has limited linux options
arch mentioned
I run cachyos which is based off arch, and I'm quite enjoying it
For a media server? I'm not sure, you basically want a lightweight file host right?
These are my options foor supported OS
the game is just choosing to kill me ig?
Kind of, yeah, Im going to run jellyfin as it has apps for nearly every platform
roku and LG TVs included
If you're dying of radiation poisoning, just buy 2 packs of iodine pills at the pharmacy and take 'em all
just stop believing in radiation
I've heard of both Arch and Debian prior to ever looking into it
Arch is the barebones OS that you build your own look on top of
this is quite odd
the nice thing about ubuntu is that it just supports most hardware, and it takes a dog of a pc to run it poorly
How barebones, It doesnt need to be fancy as there will never really be direct interraction with the actual pc its on
say no, the game cant legally kill you without your concent
if I'm being blunt going for arch isn't the way to get introduced to modern linux
We use EndeavourOS
Im running it on like 15 year old components lol
still relatively recent tbh
I cant necessarily tell you what the CPU is, but its integrated graphics whatever it is.
It has no OS currently
im just gonna use a save from a bit earlier
It could be older tbh, its windows 7 I think, last booted up in 2011
just pick out a flash drive, install ventoy to it and then download a few live linux distros to test and see what feels good
or so the pc says in bios
Its an old ass HP pc I think my parents had when I was in higschool
like 14-16 years ago
for sure, and there will likely be bios updates you can install as well but one thing at a time, I'd bet after trying ubuntu vs like endeavorOS you'll know what feels more doable
no accounting for feel tbh
I don't necessarily need something thats insanely user friendly as long as I am capable of installing Jellyfin onto it.
my current server is my last gen gaming hardware in my last pc I built for my family growing up, still has its windows xp license on the side
to be honest I'd just recommend running windows 10 ltsc
need to figure out how to get a ton of RM in this game
eh, can't find my USB with windows on it lol
i have only 1200 OC, and 14 RM
noob
eat a bag o' dicks lol
I've got a dual boot on my server but am currently just running 10 ltsc simply because I don't need anything newer for what it's doing
I guess I could install windows and just never activate a code.
but it also has cachyos as a dual boot option should I feel comfortable migrating over eventually
oh no you won't be able to set a wallpaper
yeah, I just remote into my server to do whatever I need to do in between reboots
I could care less about form its just the function I want
steam deck, main pc and laptop have all primarily just been linux systems though
Yeah, I've already crammed 4TB of storage and 16gb of ram into it, its going to strictly be for media and game server hosting (if it can run it)
steamos just works on the deck, my laptop is for messing around and my pc I need to just work
Making and selling watches to ||passmore|| is a good option
I get it, I've got a 16tb and 6tb hdd in my server, runs my tv, movies, audiobooks and music off plex
yeah, im still working on getting to that fella
Plex? Is that another media program similar to Jellyfin?
didnt know anyone here played Obenseuer
Alternatively you can (inefficiently) trade OC for RM on floor 7 of the building beside the pea soup
there's a solid discord for all things linux called Linux For All btw you can easily find it on google they've been super helpful
yep, I've just been using it for a decade and don't want to switch to something I don't know yet
A lot of story quests also reward decent chunks of RM
Fair enough
This is going to be my first step into a home network/media server
Once I get it sorted, I've got another 20+ tb of HDD laying about
bought a lifetime license ages ago and aside from being able to skip tv show intros and use hardware accelerated encoding I'm not sure what the extras in the license are tbh
They say I'm abusive, but my name's just Ab Yusef!
the value of plex for me is learning to add extras like overseerr to help manage the server
I think the primary reason I've never really messed with linux was in the past, it wasnt suported worth a damn in the video game industry
yep
Yo what level do you gotta be to use images
Proton 
5 anywhere but general, 10 in general
5 in PZ chat, 10 here
lol
I've always used linux for stability in office productivity, windows for my games that just needed to work, and I dabbled in getting what overlapped working in linux
it's come so far the past ten years
@oak gazelle Only reason I'm considering using Jellyfin is because it seems incredibly easy to use from the few videos I've watched, its also opensource
no judgement, it's a good option
But I would like to learn what linux has to offer as well.
I've built all sorts of systems for all sorts of users, and the most interesting users were linux people
I've built a lot of systems too, but its almost always been windows, the few that used linux installed it themselves
I hear mint is very new user friendly, but we went straight into EndeavourOS with KDE and it's just worked for us
for a kid who sucked at coding but loved playing with hardware linux gave me an extra deck to pull from to mess with tech I hadn't played with yet
kde makes everything better
I used ubuntu for years going back to gutsy gibbon so like 2007 2008 and when I discovered kde kubuntu became my main distro
I've always been extremely interested in everything other than windows, all the way to RaspberryPi OS or whatever its called
after we got our hands on the SteamDeck and messed around in the desktop mode it was like "Oh wait, this is literally awesome" and switched our PC over first chance we got
the pc ecosystem is absolutely gobsmacking it its breadth, and being able to push hardware to do stuff it wasn't necessarily designed to do is always a draw
the thing is microsoft is responsible for the massive attractive prospect that linux has become, all because ms will create shitty OSes, then get it right every few iterations and then when inevitably people have to face either a new OS or 'risk it' on an older operating system that's not technically getting security updates anymore... they always wonder if there's something better and find the alternative of linux. they get a feel for what it can do and if its enough they dual boot and test it out, otherwise they're now aware of it for the next inevitable os exodus
We've still got a secondary drive with a (severely gutted) Win10 installation on it, so if we wanna play a game with a bootkit anticheat, we have the option
But other than that it's quarantined
This is why I started looking into linux in the past, I personally preferred XP in its day, and windows 7 until they dropped support
yup, for a long time xp black edition was THE gamer choice even though the security flaws were known and the hacked xp activation inevitably got borked down the line. but then when I was like hey I can play old games on linux, the only modern options were like supertuxkart. which has developed a lot over the years and is now a really nice title but yeah
Does the cam holder have Parkinson's? Im getting motion sickness lol
I think it's just an older phone with no stabilisation
secret windows
ya
Im gonna have to do some thinking on this OS choice. I've already download the Debian ISO, just gotta download something to burn it to my USB if thats the route I go
im a bit late
use ventoy and you can put multipe ISOs on the drive to try different live OS environments
enables you to window shop your windows replacement really easily
Can I use DAEMONTools? I already have it installed for ISO files that I install to this PC
probably, though I haven't touched that software myself in a decade or so
Ah I can. Seems theres an option for "Bootable USB"
It was the only one I was halfassed familiar with, which is why when I had an ISO last, I downlaoded it
either way have fun and may the tech odds ever be in your favor
Though i learned that there are a few games that just WILL NOT run if DAEMONtools is installed on the pc for some reason
League for example, it wont open at all on my pc. I think its something to do with the kernal level anticheat
I'd recommend Ubuntu LTS, CachyOS, and like Linux Mint if you want to try other live distros
gotta love it when one bit of software makes another unusable
Oh, fuck you DTools. Im not paying to burn to a USB
ventoy, free, and installs directly to your usb stick
downloading it now
it'll format itand install the software then you can just drag and drop your isos
works with windows installer isos too
just make sure you look into bios/uefi settings since your pc hardware is around at the age of uefi
Yeah, I've already went through all the bios, doesnt seem it has UEFI
It's old enough that the USB are USB 2.0
at least you don't have to deal with that headache lol
those overlapping tech years and pcs were not kind to each other
So, with ventoy, do I just drag ISOs into the formatted USB ?
with ventoy run the exe and it'll walk you through selecting and installing it to your flash drive
larger the drive is the more isos it can hold obviously but yeah then you just copy and paste ISOs over to the ventoy partition
you might get a lot of performance out of it with cachyos given the customized performance kernels they have but even just out of the box solutions like debian or ubuntu are going to make that server feel like a new box for real
this chat so nerdy
Ill throw cachyos on it too and take a look
eventually I plan on trying out bazzite and garuda but cachy really put a pin in that plan
I was thinking the same earlier. I thought "we're just being mega nerds atm and took over chat"
oh yeah, between talking tech and doing impromptu tech support now and then I'm just terminally online
