flashback to the time floof was domed with...i think it was a g36 in phantom forces

[onyx igloo]

warning you

its VERY difficult

its also a finnish developer like My Summer Car kind of difficult

[hasty thistle]

Okay, I'm going to need someone to give me some context as to why general has been renamed.

[onyx igloo]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kXHSsw1B_O0?feature=share

[hasty thistle]

Did the Frog do something weird again?

[hasty thistle]

Okay, you exaggerate, and I appreciate that... but why to this?

[onyx igloo]

well uhh

[hasty thistle]

I can only assume the Frog was weird again. Did someone put feet in a cauldron?

[onyx igloo]

cauldrons are cool

[harsh vault]

i deleted my account since i havent touched it since long time ago iirc

[harsh vault]

i play hard to learn and play games

is that imnvs?!

rare see

[onyx igloo]

i randomly started taking mental damage and i could not figure out for the life of me why

the sauna fixed it

make sure to sauna your finnish character or it become depressed

[hasty thistle]

I'll admit that I'm not as frequent a see as I was once, but I wouldn't say I'm a rare find... like a shiny Charmander. 😉

I'm still stopping in at weird times randomly.

[harsh vault]

its nice to see you again

[onyx igloo]

jackbox games are funny

[hasty thistle]

It's nice to be seen. 😉 I'm finally past the "peak season" at UPS, so should be seen more frequently, but still at weird times. 😄

[harsh vault]

i never played jackbox games, they always sound like new age versions of mario party

and i dunno who plays jackbox

[onyx igloo]

theres one where you can recreate noises and it plays in a scene

[hasty thistle]

Heard of Muppets Party Cruise? It's like Mario Party but funnier.

[harsh vault]

muppets makes games?

[hasty thistle]

Heheheh. They made at least one.

[onyx igloo]

yeah have you seen ubisoft?

[harsh vault]

cues to vinesauce

i have but never seen it on steam

[hasty thistle]

It was made for PS2 and GameCube.

[harsh vault]

oh thats why

when i hear old ubisoft games i think of that yellow fish meme

[hasty thistle]

Don't know if anyone's found a way to adapt it for Steam and the current state of gaming.

[onyx igloo]

one of my favorite styles of retro games is probably the original Gran Turismo

[harsh vault]

you could probably open up a server if you do direct hosting and everyone has the same version, just need a home api, they do it for old gran turismo games

[harsh vault]

i own a physical rare variant of the gran turismo 2 case

[onyx igloo]

the graphics just feel right for a racing game

[harsh vault]

yes i have gran turismo 2 physically

[onyx igloo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/civic-spin

[harsh vault]

it was fun

[onyx igloo]

old civics were really cool if some teenager didnt take a shit on it with temu car parts

[harsh vault]

my very first game i ever played was gran turismo 3

[hasty thistle]

A game that isn't retro in any way that I've been tempted to get (mostly because my spouse has it and raves) is Cult of the Lamb. Anyone else tried it?

[hasty thistle]

My first video game every played was the original Pac-Man. 😄

[onyx igloo]

ive seen gameplay of it

it looks interesting

[harsh vault]

we get it ur old

[hasty thistle]

It recently had a DLC drop that was all about expanding end-game content.

[onyx igloo]

i went to an arcade and we all got like hour long tickets for like 20 bucks

[hasty thistle]

Anyone every played Joust on the Atari? 😉

[onyx igloo]

i played alot of space invaders

[hasty thistle]

How about Zork on the Commodore64?

[onyx igloo]

this arcade had a whole virtual golf thing

too

[strange spruce]

mine was cs 1.6 </3

i was like 4 and my bro put me against fucking expert bots and those things basically have perfect aimbot 😭

[hasty thistle]

That's Counterstrike, yes?

[strange spruce]

aye

the first one

[plush saddle]

Is there any sleep multiplayer mod for build 42 yet ?

[onyx igloo]

https://youtu.be/VqB1uoDTdKM this is the only thing i know about CS 1.6

[strange spruce]

yeah thats a classic

[floral fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/counterstrike-csgo-door-stuck-knife-lit-gif-13501025

[strange spruce]

i just played on those prison break servers with dudes that would have like the absolute dogshit 5 dollar mics yelling at you

and occassional zombie servers

[onyx igloo]

i remember being yelled at by shit mic folks

they taught me alot of words

[strange spruce]

theyd usually swear at me in georgian so safe to say i also learnt alot of colorful words on how to curse one out in georgian

[livid notch]

I vividly remember my child self playing on zombie maps in CS source and prison breaks too

Good times

[onyx igloo]

Fatass cat

[harsh vault]

he looks mad

[onyx igloo]

She

IT is a BRAVE WOMAN

[toxic hawk]

I never had a mic growing up

Felt too lazy to talk

Only used it with the boys

In high school playing dayz

Those were the days...

[harsh vault]

sorry

[onyx igloo]

i get it im just joking

most orange cats are male

[strange spruce]

i had two at one point

[harsh vault]

the one i had was annoying

[strange spruce]

thats in kg's right

or is it pounds

[onyx igloo]

pounds

[strange spruce]

thank god

was gonna ask what the fuck you were feeding her

[onyx igloo]

she a fatass but she not obese

im pretty sure thats just orangecatness

[hasty thistle]

That entirely depends... I had a cat that weighed 22lb while trim. This MFer could also stand up on his hind legs, front legs on the edge of the counter to watch what I was doing on said kitchen counter. He could stretch out and make it all the way across a queen-sized bed. He was a BIG boy.

[strange spruce]

i have a black gato hes very polite feller

[onyx igloo]

my calico is a skinny little bastard

she'll bite the shit out of you if you piss her off though

[empty frigate]

oh i thought that was benjammins

[onyx igloo]

my two cats are like a stealth and loud build

[hasty thistle]

The big boy I just mentioned, was not a polite feller. He was an opinionated jerk that knew he was big and though he was bigger than me. I had to routinely educate him that such was not the case. 😄

[empty frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/fat-cat-gif-12535219569916731430

this ur cat

[onyx igloo]

you can hear my orange cat thundering across the hallway chasing the other

but you can hear the war cries of my skinny cat

[strange spruce]

one thing i did notice about mine is that he doesnt really like sitting on laps or anything lol

i adopted him from near my workplace

[hasty thistle]

Yeah, my big boy didn't like laps, but he liked cuddling beside you. My current big-ish boy is the same... unless I'm sitting in a particular chair.

Our little girl is the cuddler who is happiest when treated like a baby, cradled in my arms and bounced.

This is the prettiest baby being the most baby she can.

[onyx igloo]

same with my big ol orange

instead what she'll do is either lie her 20 pounds on my head or next to my legs

the very top of my head so it kinda feels like a warm hat

[upper rain]

Gmm

[onyx igloo]

Gmm

indeed

[hasty thistle]

And of course, literally all of my cats (past and present) f'ing love boxes.

[torpid cliff]

ive never really played pz wiht people

i like begged my friends too buy it and we played it once and we havent ever since

[hasty thistle]

You'll find that is common to a lot of folks.

[torpid cliff]

i ussally just play vanilla alone

[strange spruce]

oh my god she adorb,mine is you know still a street cat i adopted you know so

he still loves to go out on occasions

[torpid cliff]

why tho

like it litterally says when u enter that the game is best enjoyed with people

so u would think lots of people would find other people

[onyx igloo]

we dont have friends

[tired holly]

Average cat behavior

[hasty thistle]

You can get a lot more done when you have time... but your friends may not have time at the same time.

[strange spruce]

i have friends but i just quit pz and am addicted to war thunder now cause of one of those friends

[torpid cliff]

makes sense

[torpid cliff]

i have friends but none of them play the games i do LMAO

they just play valorant and roblox

[tired holly]

My condolences

[novel fern]

what’s cooking cauldron

[strange spruce]

no you see i play ussr so its literaly on easy mode

[onyx igloo]

all i know is i just dont have the patience to fix my own modpack

[half kettle]

oh my goodness

[onyx igloo]

lmao

[novel fern]

war thunder gains another tank and you offer condolences?

[torpid cliff]

bro i just play vanilla because i still dont know so much about the game

LMAO

[hasty thistle]

Technically that little girl, she was a feral that a friend rescued and socialized somewhat... and then she adopted out the ferals she was rescuing, and we were the one that adopted her.

At this point, she's completely acclimated to being an indoor cat. She's scared of the outside except through an open window where she can watch and sniffs.

[strange spruce]

i pilot too

[onyx igloo]

my calico was a walmart cat

[torpid cliff]

walmart sells cats???

what the freakbob

[tired holly]

I have 1000 hours in WT but quit because the grind finally defeated me 🥹

[onyx igloo]

my uncle found her at a walmart and gave us her

[strange spruce]

i quit grinding britain around 7.7

[onyx igloo]

no it was a lucky loot crate

[strange spruce]

and just said fuck it and went to grind ussr instead

[torpid cliff]

wait kinda tuff

[torpid cliff]

ive never hit 1000 hours on a game

i think its just because of school

[strange spruce]

ive had 6k hours on runescape

[sacred schooner]

this... this is...

[strange spruce]

on just one account

[hasty thistle]

Heh. I have 5k hours in PZ.

[torpid cliff]

bro i have like 100 LMAO

[tired holly]

I also have 1000 hours in Terraria wish I could still play but my GPU broke and most games don't work well on Linux anyway

[hasty thistle]

And nearly all of those 5k hours were in B41.

[tired holly]

Project Zomboid is fortunately one exception

[strange spruce]

i really should grind runescape sometime again

[torpid cliff]

i play all my games on windows bc im scared of the terminal

[hasty thistle]

In fact I didn't start playing PZ until B41.

[strange spruce]

maybe another 99 grind

[empty frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-running-past-gif-3044631603201692058

[torpid cliff]

also my friends play valorant alot and thats windows only so i would get fomo

[strange spruce]

ew

[torpid cliff]

i agree

i wish we played cooler games

ive been begging them too play l4d2 but are gc died

[strange spruce]

i played that for a bit,only really enjoyed ka/yo

[tired holly]

Experimenting in a virtual machine would be an option

[strange spruce]

or whatever that bot guy was

named

[torpid cliff]

i like phoenix hes like the self suffcient jack of all trades

[torpid cliff]

i run a proxmox server with ubuntu server os on it

so i can host jellyfin

[hasty thistle]

Hey, Stardew is a fun game for multiplayer that doesn't require everyone be around all the time.

[torpid cliff]

and a mc server

[strange spruce]

i just liked kay/o cause he felt very much more cs than the rest of the agents

[torpid cliff]

bro lowkirk

i need too try

i want too so bad

[strange spruce]

with his how his utils worked

just felt familiar

[candid patio]

I start work at 10:30 on Wednesdays
Someone insisted on my earliest available appointment
I don't normally schedule appointments for my start time but she insisted.
She calls me at 10:08
"Hello I am here."
Pffft well I'm not. See you in 20 minutes.

[half kettle]

do dey know u start at 1030

[hasty thistle]

Stardew is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. I really need to get back into it, but often don't feel like I have the time...

...especially since I've just recently purchased the Fallout games (currently on sale on Steam) I haven't played and kinda want to try those out.

Seriously, I rocked the shit out of Fallout 1 and 2, but never did 3, 4 or New Vegas.

My favorite thing in Fallout 1 was a random encounter you could get to get wizards robes that were almost as good as power armor.

[onyx igloo]

[half kettle]

[hasty thistle]

This seriously looks like a common site at my house, with my little girl...

...but is there a vent for heating under your kitty? Because that's what my pretty girl does, sits on a heating vent to warm her belly and butt.

[hasty thistle]

It was a nod to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[onyx igloo]

yep actually

do cats have preset personalities?

lmao

[hasty thistle]

We call our kitty a "heat sink" because she also likes sitting behind our laptops where the heat is venting.

[onyx igloo]

heh

ive seen cats that go really close to campfires

enough to burn their fur without actually injuring themselves

[hasty thistle]

Someone that used to be a friend of mine had a cat that often got his fur singed because he would hang out near and try to step around/over candles.

[onyx igloo]

dude my old cat, a siamese who would only respond to Kitty

she burned her tail on a candle

she was SUPER patient with a kid like me lmao

[candid patio]

She's really pretty

[candid patio]

I want to adopt a mean old cat from the shelter to make up for how awful I was to my childhood cat

I feel so bad looking back as an adult

I would chase it around the house trying to force it to cuddle with me

[onyx igloo]

my mom used to catch feral cats around the woods

[candid patio]

Poor guy just wanted to be left alone

He lived to be 27 and he never forgot about me. Loved everyone else

[hasty thistle]

Holy hell, mentioning siamese cats? I had a friend years ago that had two siamese cats from the same litter. Now, have any of y'all seen Lady and the Tramp, the Disney movie from way back? His siamese cats were a direct parallel. They were indoor/outdoor cats and one day I was over at his house and these cats were outside walking down the sidewalk... and some big dog was coming from the other direction. These two cats simply sat down as this dog came up on them all aggressive... and then they got up and started moving in opposite directions. The dog didn't know which one it wanted to attack. Then one of the cats makes a lunge at the dog, but as soon as it responded, that cat jumped back like a freaking ninja while her sister came in from the side, and TOOK THE DOGS FREAKING EYE OUT!!!

[candid patio]

But my mom said he could smell me on her when she was with me and he would be mean to her too until she changed and showered

[onyx igloo]

i remember my cat bitch slapping my big dog lol

tiny little 10 pound cat fighting a big mutt

[hasty thistle]

Heh. Another friend's cat straight up punched his mom's dog out. Seriously, no claws, just slap to the face and the dog retreated to cry.

[candid patio]

Cats are all cats. There is no functional difference between a house cat and a wild tiger

[hasty thistle]

To be fair, the dog was about the same size as the cat.

[onyx igloo]

heh

dogs and cats are funny at times

[candid patio]

I'm genuinely scared of cats

I'm scared of my big dog too even though he's a big dopey idiot who will always choose flight over fight

If flight isn't an option he will just cower in a corner and hope the problem goes away

[onyx igloo]

my cats might give you a heart attack

[harsh vault]

i dont like cats

they enemy

[hasty thistle]

My current cats are probably more scared of you than you are of them.

[half kettle]

I HATE EVERY ANIMAL ON EARTH! besides birds

they cool

[onyx igloo]

you hate yourself?

[hasty thistle]

Birds are food or decoration.

[candid patio]

I don't dislike them but if I'm in the room with a strange cat you can tell I'm very uncomfortable

[onyx igloo]

Parrot.

Parrot is cool

[half kettle]

you can train hawks

[onyx igloo]

i like Parrot

[strange spruce]

meow beech

[harsh vault]

grrr

[candid patio]

I've seen some pretty cool pet parrots and corvids

[strange spruce]

ive thought of getting a parrot but i dont think my gato would be fond of one

[candid patio]

It is an intense amount of effort to keep parrots mentally healthy

[hasty thistle]

Okay, if the bird can talk, maybe bird can be friend... as long as it doesn't swear like a sailor like Andrew Jackson's parrot.

[onyx igloo]

i love that video of the parrots tail feather being preened and he IMMEDIATELY chomps on the leftover crunchy bit calcium

[candid patio]

Keeping a parrot mentally stimulated and emotionally supported takes about as much effort as a 5 year old child in those regards.

If you don't they will get anxiety

[onyx igloo]

i wouldnt suggest what they did in the video

[hasty thistle]

Ooh, okay, gotta bounce, y'all. My dinner is ready. (I know it's approaching 11am where I live, but I work overnights.)

[onyx igloo]

preening tailfeathers is a nono

[candid patio]

Did anyone else completely grow out of getting entertained by other people getting hurt while doing stupid things?

I used to think that shit was funny but now I'm just sad and concerned for those people

[harsh vault]

i feel its the masculine in people who like that

or the inner cavemen

fire ouch funny

[candid patio]

I could see that

[tender igloo]

i think its funny depending on what it is lol

[plush cobalt]

I feel it's primarily a maturity thing, not necessarily a masculinity thing

If someone gets hurt in a video and it looks goofy I might laugh, but even in that situation I worry about the wellbeing of the individual. I think this is just empathy (therefore, maturity due to having developed that)

[candid patio]

Only if it's very clear that both they were doing something incredibly stupid and also clear that they are not seriously injured

Arc raiders got steam innovation of the year. Pretty sure current age gamers don’t know shit

[candid patio]

It was actually really pretty visually but obviously not efficient or compact

Each component was easily expandable and it was really easy to see what components you needed more of

[harsh crane]

Arc raiders versus Blue prince. Clearly, arc raiders, the 1000th extraction shooter twitch hyp3, was more innovative than that stupid puzzle game. Yuck.

This is why I only play PZ and have gone retro to playing 90s games.

Popularity contest. Gaming went Hollywood and it’s fugly

[ivory grail]

I dug out my spot for 5 hours and so help me god if the neighbor kid take that spot when I go to work I will be back at 2am to build a wall of snow and find a way to freeze it just to spite that little shit

I can't legally do anything to move there car but I can just put the 50 pounds of snow I move back to where it was

[short tinsel]

may i ask if someone may know how to filter a certain batch of files more than just putting in one word

all im asking

like one word plus another but it filters for both

[ivory grail]

that might be a pz techsupport question

[short tinsel]

no its not related to them

[strange wyvern]

Please never be honest again

Kidding, kidding

[candid patio]

I texted my boss about that person who wouldn't give me their contact info and they were making me uneasy

He said don't give her an appointment if you feel uncomfortable

She arrives and she's this tiny frail ancient woman

Maybe weighs 35kg

Not to brag but I could probably kick her ass

I brought my pocket knife with me lol

[quasi slate]

no they are hot babes

[pure junco]

Don't do it, he's a person like everyone else.

[candid patio]

The funny part is that I was scared of her before I met her

[stiff salmon]

And after you felt absolutely terrified,,

Elderly people can hit with their bags and canes pretty hard, reflexes now that's another thing but that power, it never leaves

[candid patio]

Unless she was a really good actor

She couldn't move fast enough to swing her bag or cane

[pure junco]

Her cane? Is she an old woman?

[candid patio]

Took her about 3 minutes to walk a distance I can clear in 10 seconds

Yes very old

Ancient

She definitely watched the moon landing live on tv

[stiff salmon]

I'm laughing my ass off you're powerscaling against an elderly woman

The level of hating I aspire to have

[candid patio]

That's what I'm here for

[quasi slate]

[stiff salmon]

Do not let slappyhand into an elderly home

My autocorrect likes you, autocorrected hands to handsome; take a backseat, clanker. Then again it also autocorrected beef to need, sentient at this point.

[candid patio]

I can't go full into ranting about hating old people without the p word

[pure junco]

That comment reminds me of John F. Kennedy.

[candid patio]

But suffice it to say that I do genuinely hate the majority of people over 60 and I think they are selfish and ruined my home country and the planet in general

[pure junco]

I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm saying.

[stiff salmon]

No one does, look at what Slappy is hilariously spouting; one minute away from taking cold war to reality and begin to kill his own fridge.

I don't know how but this gives me big Abraham Lincoln vibes, like he was a lone-wolf.

If I was there I would pull John Wilkes Booths gun down like Michael Jackson does and shake my head in disappointment, but believing he can. Change. Yes I like that thought very much.

Not to be a downer but I've been bullied my whole life... Even got bullied by customers at work recently

[harsh vault]

im sorry to hear that

[candid patio]

So it doesn't phase me too much

Well the lady at work did make me cry a little bit

Mostly because I tried my very best to be polite calm and professional

But the way she acted, I probably would have been better if I told her to fuck herself and walked away

Would have saved me 20 minutes and she'd be just as upset

[thick mirage]

very silly and cool

8.5/10

[stiff salmon]

Never bullying Slappy, just that naturally hilarious in retelling a story, banter then and there. And definitely emotionally understandable. My condolences about that too, definitely would understand if you did it. Don't deserve to take that type of malarkey.

[vital marten]

I was wondering my pc’s part prices (since prebuilt are usually bad on price)

I picked up my computer on 11/6/25. I threw all my parts into PC Part Picker and CURRENTLY it retails up to a total of $1917.34 (that’s $347.70 more than I paid)

I reckon that my PC as a prebuilt would retail for $2k+ nowadays, I cannot express how glad I am that I bought it when I did

[oak gazelle]

yep, same. I upgraded my old system bit by bit over the past two years after buying my rig in like january 2020 and this is the first time I've been able to say my pc has appreciated in value since upgrading it

it's all inflated but it is what it is

[vital marten]

It’s crazy, that’s for sure

[oak gazelle]

you know shits bad when crucial dips 🙁

[vital marten]

My pc costs more than the loan I have out on it

🤣

[oak gazelle]

ah well, just gotta hope nothing breaks

[hollow grove]

i built my PC in late 2019 and only upgraded it last september

before and after the upgrade

[oak gazelle]

good to know embed perms are still borked

[vital marten]

Considering I was doing stuff like pulling the gpu, holding it mid-air inside the case for an hour while trying to install 2 SSDs… it’s safe to say I’m not at all worried

[hollow grove]

im definitely not complaining lol

[oak gazelle]

we've all been there

[hollow grove]

fun fact

the dust cache on my case was so thick with dust i couldnt see my hand behind it

[vital marten]

I didn’t notice how dusty my pc had gotten until I put that new ssd in

I probably haven’t even looked at it since November before then

[oak gazelle]

gotta get on that once or twice a year pc cleaning cycle

every six months I unplug my towers and take the compressed air to it

so far its 4-0 in the dewalt's favour

[oak gazelle]

nope

[vital marten]

Interesting

[oak gazelle]

all in all, doesn't matter how you blow out your pc to just get in the habit of doing it on a schedule so things don't accumulate so badly

[vital marten]

I’m a dewalt guy, out of all the tools I bought, this one is my favorite and gets the most use https://a.co/d/0hcINiBI

[hollow grove]

i do still have a milwaukee lying around just in case theres a job where i dont want to risk the dewalt

[vital marten]

Tripod battery powered 3000 lumen light is so worth it as a painter

[empty frigate]

deimos stare

[oak gazelle]

there was nothing quite like using the industrial air compressor we had in the old pc repair shop I worked at. at any given moment there could have been a huge plume of dust getting blown out the back door of the place

[vital marten]

And when the power goes out at home I still have light because it can run 6 or so hours on a single 5 amp battery

Got a charger that charges that battery in 1 hour

Telescopic poles that reach up to 8ft, things like 30 or so pounds so it’s not hard to extend it fully and hoist it over your head for light way up high

[hollow grove]

ill probably end up passing the dewalt down to my kids

[vital marten]

Gosh I love that thing

[hollow grove]

just as my dad did to me lol

that thing will last until the sands of time run out

[vital marten]

Wonder if they still sell that particular model

[vital marten]

Standing desk?

[mellow dawn]

go from seated to standing

it rises

[oak gazelle]

I did the standing desk thing back in like 2012-2013 and it was fun for a while

definitely better to have modern, height adjustable options and not just an ikea desk on cinderblocks

[mellow dawn]

I'm doing it just so I can get rid of this stupid table, plus gonna add a walking track under it

[vital marten]

I got a bad case of gamer back idk if gaming would feel the same with a standing desk

[mellow dawn]

using one of those collapsible picnic tables you'd see used as a desk for chess signups lmao

[vital marten]

Been there

[oak gazelle]

but yeah I just bought a high back chair for my gaming

[hollow grove]

its a DeWalt DC988

[vital marten]

Took me 3 whole ass days to assemble my desk, came from Walmart with the shittiest instructions

[rain mango]

look what i hunted

[hollow grove]

i asked my dad when he bought it a while ago

he mentioned somewhere around 2002 or 2003

[oak gazelle]

I do want to get a new desk but that requires money

[vital marten]

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely be saving this to shop

[mellow dawn]

we talking drills? Walmart-bought Hyper tough has never failed me

[hollow grove]

the 988 is a real grandpa of a drill

[vital marten]

It’s not a brushless motor Luna?

[hollow grove]

no, hammer drill

[half kettle]

he looks rotted

https://tenor.com/view/oooh-meme-omg-shoked-gif-4848824542608274456

[mellow dawn]

not much ngl. this standing desk is like 90 bucks but on sale

[hollow grove]

and yeah no dewalt dont make it anymore

[vital marten]

eBay time

[hollow grove]

they started moving away from 18v to 20v ~2011

[vital marten]

Are the batteries backwards compatible

[rain mango]

all i hunted today

a deer, rabbit, and bird

[hollow grove]

ive never found another dewalt that will take the 988's battery

[vital marten]

Ol Reliable

[hollow grove]

so cant say for sure they arent backwards compatible, but only because ive never found a drill that will take them

(excluding other 988s obv.)

[vital marten]

Hyper Tough has some good bit sets, idk about their drills though

Milwaukee hammer drill about took my wrists off, if the dewalt you have Luna is similar or more in power I couldn’t imagine using it regularly

[hollow grove]

ive got a girltwink bod and been able to handle both just fine

[vital marten]

Dang thing about took me out for the day 😭

[hollow grove]

if i got into a pub fight i would probably die

[mellow dawn]

hyper tough is the middle of the road imo decent but not great

[oak gazelle]

I could probably sit on most attackers and be fine until the cops showed up

[vital marten]

Not me, I’m stick

[hollow grove]

for 1-day jobs we also have a cache of the absolute crappiest chinese drills you can get

[mellow dawn]

so you're saying I could outrun you

[hollow grove]

straight up temu collection of power tools

[oak gazelle]

oh definitely anyone can

[hollow grove]

cheap enough that we can leave them in work vans overnight

dudes in walkers be walking faster than me

[vital marten]

This was my Big sisters preferred way of fighting me, still is

[oak gazelle]

though if we're not talking zeds then I can take a good amount of punches, kicks, scrapes and bites before it's a problem

[mellow dawn]

I got up to Combatives 3, which is like a brown belt in BJJ or sth. Once fought 3 dudes at the same time. Two years ago I got mugged by 3 people. Never underestimate the value of surprise

[oak gazelle]

effective!

[hollow grove]

the dewalt goes home with me, but the zhejiang rongpeng L901 one of my coworkers got for $40 off temu stays in the ute

[vital marten]

Temu drill?

[mellow dawn]

with shein bits

[hollow grove]

we call them that because theyre literally the cheapest chinese tools you can get

a crappy milwaukee will still cost like $200 at the lowest, but the temu tools were all bought for under $100

[vital marten]

Good in a pinch I’d say

[hollow grove]

one upside is rongpeng sells these adorable christmas sweaters for your tools

[vital marten]

This is kinda cool

[hollow grove]

for warming your cold dead tradie hands

[vital marten]

As painter my hands usually aren’t cold

Even when caulking, we just use an induction based submersible water heater

[hollow grove]

mine are usually very warm from touching roof tiles that have been sitting in the sun all day

[vital marten]

Laying on a warm roof is one of the best spots where I have ever thought about taking a nap despite how unsafe it is

[hollow grove]

one of the perks of being a roofer is that at the first sign of a cloud we dont like the look of

tools down for the day, we'll pick it back up tomorrow

pretty sure my coworkers are also expert weathermen

[vital marten]

Me prepping in the rain

If it’s light we still work

So I hope for heavy rain

[hollow grove]

honestly i would rank roofing (my industry) as probably the second dodgiest in australia

the dodgiest is the guys who come in before us, the builders

they half-ass literally everything so you pay them $3 million for a house full of scrap wood and asbestos

[oak gazelle]

that's what koala man taught me

[vital marten]

Builders are… meh

I can’t count on one hand how many times we’ve been told we’re too high and their “other guy” could do it for X

Especially after 2020 when pricing on everything jumped

[hollow grove]

theres a trend in australia of building companies going bust owing millions of dollars and leaving behind unfinished homes while running off with homeowners' money

[vital marten]

What the hell lmao

[hollow grove]

basically you give something like $400,000 to a building company to build your dream home

and next week they mysteriously go into liquidation

[vital marten]

Next week?!

I thought they went bankrupt this is highway robbery

[hollow grove]

their employees are suddenly out of work with no backpay, and you're out of your deposit

[oak gazelle]

that's just fraud

[hollow grove]

so now the government and the banks have to chase down the people who owned it to cough up the cash

its surprisingly common in australia

[vital marten]

Cash’ll already be spent by then

[hollow grove]

especially since we're smack in the middle of a housing crisis

[oak gazelle]

sounds like some people want to lose their kneecaps

[young kelp]

but they won't lose it

cause no one's paid to do it

[vital marten]

Idk I heard the Australians are crazy

[hollow grove]

builders going bust is a bit of a meme here

and hence why they've got a rep as the dodgiest tradespeople in aus

[vital marten]

In my area we’ve just got a problem of people doing the work for the absolute bare minimum, nothing even remotely shady as that

[hollow grove]

honestly if i were to do a white collar job

i would probably go do admin for a casino or something

since australians lose more money to casinos and betting than any other country in the world

[vital marten]

My grandpa can’t stop going back

I’ll hear “I need to work more, I need more for bills” after “I lost 5 thousand dollars”

Gambling is banned in Texas

But we still have like these… machines. In gas stations and bars.

They all say they don’t pay money but some establishments will pay out

I think they raided some 53 Escape Rooms in Dallas last year for these Machines

[hollow grove]

australia is basically like a giant version of Nevada
