So many white stashes

twin bear

toxic hawk
#

BTW how do I even craft

twin bear
#

is easy

neon bramble
#

to be fair it's very easy to bum rush good gear with money once you know how

toxic hawk
neon bramble
#

repair kits are streamlined anyway

twin bear
#

yes and bandits have ammo u can stock up with

#

some will have mosins so free ammo

toxic hawk
neon bramble
#

just right click the gun with the appropriate repair kit to replace anything > 60%

toxic hawk
#

Can gun parts be sold ?

twin bear
#

garbage loves to have emissions happen for me idk why lmao

toxic hawk
#

Is a hunting kit worth buying ?

neon bramble
#

field strip the part and use a cleaning kit to bring it up from 60 to 100%

twin bear
#

even on different packs like custom anomaly i get so many emissions at garbage

neon bramble
twin bear
toxic hawk
twin bear
#

big time if u plan on making money off hunting

neon bramble

twin bear
#

toxic hawk
#

Say

twin bear
#

toxic hawk
#

Im getting the hang of juking mutants

twin bear
#

u can max ur output of loot thru an artifact iirc

neon bramble
#

I like to hold onto parts for the mutant parts missions

twin bear
#

yeah the meat gets eaten and the parts get horded by me too

neon bramble
#

twin bear
#

toxic hawk
#

neon bramble
#

fast traveling within the map to dodge the stamina lmao

toxic hawk
#

Tanking 5 mosin shots to the chest, dying to a single headshot

neon bramble
#

such a relief from when it isn't standard in the modpacks

#

I got the misery mosin mixed up with the gamma one

#

cause they share the same ammo with the SVD in gamma

#

in misery I could only use the surplus ww2 ammo for the mosin

twin bear

I love killing some poor newbies who just found good loot

twin bear

The degenerates did the work for me, I bided my time and waited to strike at their weakest. Of course a legionary such as myself would prevail and slaughter them where they stood.

hmmmmm

#

gentleusers, it is with great pleasure I'm able to announce I was able to get my server pc rehoused in a modern case, and the bonus is that my hunch was right that my sata cables needed to be replaced as between that and some disk management I have a second freshly formatted 16tb hdd working in it. now to do some data management and wait for its ram upgrades to get here

twin bear
#

satan cables

#

the devil himself organized my laptop cords

viral echo
#

i need a bigger hard drive

oak gazelle
#

I thought I ordered 4 independent cables but I got this easy to manage sleeved and numbered deal that will clean up with the power supply cables as soon as I can find my bag of zip ties

#

always

oak gazelle
viral echo
#

i don't even have 16tb between all my drives in my server ๐Ÿ˜ญ

oak gazelle
#

oh dayum

heavy ivy
oak gazelle
#

I have audiobooks, old game footage, my movie and tv collection of ripped dvds and blurays, plus my music collection so I like some breathing room

oak gazelle
#

just been a fun morning for me, didn't really expect to get that space back

viral echo
#

I need more music

half kettle
#

damn, isnt 500gb of music enough >_>

oak gazelle
#

variety is always nice, and hosting your own media is where its at

#

you'd think that

viral echo
#

most of it is 24bit flacs to be fair

twin bear
#

i got a file full of stuff thats like 23gb

#

random ass shit

viral echo
#

most of it rather hard to find so I keep it

half kettle
#

Delete

twin bear
viral echo
#

I've got 10GB of files from a PC drive I recovered from a computer I got at an auction

half kettle
#

whats in em

viral echo
#

there was stuff on there that should have been wiped

#

it had scans of 30 peoples passports

half kettle
#

oh no

viral echo
#

along with bank statements

twin bear
#

somehow worse than 10gb of the nasty

viral echo
#

lucky I'm not an arsehole

oak gazelle
#

moving my about 6TB of shows to the freshly formatted hdd, then I'm going to move my audiobooks, music, music videos and my more recently ripped media from my primary pc's 6tb hdd to free some space up on my main pc. something about it is cathartic

viral echo
#

was an accounting computer for some company

#

had all the excel spreadsheets on it for their entire business

half kettle
#

what were its specs

twin bear
viral echo
#

was years ago, but it was funny looking through it

#

it had pictures of the guy that owned the company with the prime minister of the UK at the time as well.

#

random

twin bear
#

lol

viral echo
#

shit you dont expect to find on a random computer

#

no porn tho, sad times

twin bear
#

all ready for his big day

twin bear
viral echo
#

but having the passport scans and bank statements for 30 people who worked at the company, I'm not sure they should have done that.

twin bear
#

someone forgot to do their job

#

a very simple and quick one

#

wipe it all

viral echo
#

wipe your drive before you get your computer seized and put up for auction

#

also wipe you bum after you go to the toilet

#

tip of the day

twin bear
#

why are we doing the pee and poo in chat

viral echo
#

did you wipe?

stone meadow
#

do it before

viral echo
#

what i never understood is the people who smash drives with a hammer, why not just zero it...

stone meadow
#

get ahead

waxen ingot
viral echo
#

no ween

oak gazelle
#

gonna get to 16 gb ram today

viral echo
#

if you write all 0's then all 1's to a drive you are never going to recover anything from the drive

carmine monolith
#

also 33tb of storage dayumm

viral echo
#

16gb, that's smol

carmine monolith
#

unless you are video editing 16gb is enough for everything you could wanna do

twin bear
#

ded bro has the galaxy on his computer

viral echo
#

33TB, jesus christ

carmine monolith
#

they definitely have 3 copies of every game. they just install it to a new filepath every update

twin bear
#

am i trippin or do u have way less ram than actual space

viral echo
#

more ram is useful as a cache

vital marten
#

I was just trying a "first responder" challenge like I used to do in the beta days, I was surprised to see an achievement for it

twin bear
#

also True to Caesar, almost forgot

oblique stream
viral echo
#

especially if you have SSDs with no dram

stone meadow
#

server

#

doesnt really matter

#

well it does but

stone meadow
#

a server is a server

vital marten
oblique stream
#

2016-18 amd cpu, 8 gigs of ram and storage more than 33 average pcs

vital marten
#

9 suspects in 2 mags, saving boolets

oblique stream
#

And 8 gigs of vram

viral echo
#

a 3600 + a rx580 is an odd choice for a server tho

twin bear
viral echo
#

i went with an APU because I leave my PC on 24/7

vital marten
oak gazelle
viral echo
#

well i use it as a server

vital marten
#

ah

carmine monolith
#

isnt gaming on a media storage pc a really bad idea

oak gazelle
#

lots of versatility but yeah that gpu could use an upgrade but it still handles 4k transcoding easily enough

carmine monolith
#

since read/write cycles are what degrade storage

viral echo
#

i use my server for light gaming as well

twin bear
#

The computer is your property think not of how it benefits from such asinine rests

oak gazelle
#

going to have 32 gb of ram in it very soon so that vram will remain the bottleneck, no biggie though it does what I need it to do

viral echo
#

5700G can just about play PZ at 4k

carmine monolith
#

yeah i have that exact same gpu

#

no problems with any game

twin bear
#

i run games on the lowest specs ever

viral echo
#

and it uses about 40watts to do it, so not so bad

twin bear
#

regret nothing if it explodes in my face again

carmine monolith
#

i can barely tell the difference between stable 45 fps and 200 fps, so it doesnt matter to me

oak gazelle
carmine monolith
#

I see

twin bear
#

the more fps u have the more accurate and better timed you have to be

#

so there are indeed downsides

oak gazelle
#

but for all intents and purposes the media and os/program/games drives are separate

carmine monolith
#

not really, if its a singleplayer game, your inputs are saved as the ingame coordinate system, you just see it slower

viral echo
#

i also record CCTV camera to my server

twin bear
#

fps doesnt matter in sp

#

unless its tick system depends on frames

carmine monolith
#

yeah

oak gazelle
#

if you're running all your storage needs off older hard drives you're going to have performance issues though

twin bear
#

only matters on a server thats got a static tick rate

#

fuckass mp networking is dooty to learn

viral echo
#

lucky i get given random SSDs from my brother so I put an SSD in my server as well

oak gazelle
#

nice when tech upgrades get handed down

viral echo
#

he gets given old laptops and shit from his work

#

by old i mean like 3 years old

oak gazelle
#

yeah old by corporate standards

viral echo
#

they get given new laptops

#

last laptop he got though was a Mac, so rip getting hardware from that

#

His company said nope not using Windows anymore, it's a security risk

#

RIP Microsoft

oak gazelle
#

for sure, and they're right

twin bear
#

my laptop is almost older than my nephew

oak gazelle
#

as they pivot to their operating systems as a service or OSaaS model based on their experiment feature set nobody uses... it's only going to get worse

twin bear
#

an amazing machine it has served me for many years

viral echo
#

windows 12 is going to be funny as fuck

#

subscription + AI

#

good luck with that

twin bear
#

not if i dont update

oak gazelle
#

I have my older laptops but I sold a few of them to recoup costs here and there. still, I barely have a reason to own a laptop but it's nice that it's there

viral echo
#

i have 3 laptops sitting doing nothing

oak gazelle
#

meh, it's just as good as any a time to find an alternative OS even if it's just switching back to windows 10 and opting in for long term support and good antivirus

viral echo
#

one of them has a semi broken screen and the screen costs more than the laptop's worth to replace

twin bear
#

every burger has a bun

oak gazelle
#

at some point I'll get like pihole running on my laptop but that'll be a project for later

stone meadow
#

im on windows 10 still

twin bear
#

but these warm golden steam buns? these are for you

#

mcdonalds

oak gazelle
#

how you feeling today frogski?

stone meadow
#

im.gonna get hacked one day and it will be microsofts fault

twin bear
#

price and participation may vary

stone meadow
#

still sick but been working the last 2 days

viral echo
#

going to get hacked? you already are, Microslop pre-hacked you

stone meadow
#

tomorrow is a half day so i just gotta lock in and i can spend the weekend recovering more

twin bear
#

it rly is like cyberpunk except we are poor and we have no fun affordable tech

oak gazelle
#

meh, my server is on windows 10 home, and it's opted in to the extended supports through the end of like this year or whatever but I'm not worried about it

#

so much of the internet was based off windows 3.1 systems that just never went down so it's not like people haven't always just accepted the risks and done their best to patch security issues another way

viral echo
#

Using Windows for a server? tux is not amused.

#

he will get you

oak gazelle
#

lol it's my placeholder as I reduce headaches and relearn a lot of what I forgot about linux when I first got into it almost 18 years ago

twin bear
#

why cant life be like black ops zombies

viral echo
#

it's a lot easier then it was 18 years ago

oak gazelle
#

once I get my media needs containerized and more automated there won't be a reason to stick with windows anymore

twin bear
#

Kill zombies in a loop > Pay taxes

oak gazelle
#

yeah life in the gutsy gibbon ubuntu days was a bit rough around the edges

viral echo
#

i actually used the first release of Ubuntu, fun times

oak gazelle
#

but for now any games my brother owns are guaranteed to work on the system I have and I know it can handle media hosting while gaming as I've used my primary gaming pc as my media host and player while gaming for the last decade including that hardware

viral echo
#

the one with the pictures of naked people for the wallpaper

#

kinda odd

stone meadow
#

im thinking of getting a steam deck

viral echo
#

gooner os

oak gazelle
#

I make the most of the tech I have and unfortunately a lot of what I do is just waiting to be able to afford the next project or whatever

stone meadow
#

since i spend 3 hours a day travelling

oak gazelle
stone meadow
#

might as well spend 2 hours a day just playing rdr2 or smth

viral echo
#

my brother has one, he does a lot of traveling for work

oak gazelle
#

gotta do the back panel swap before my trip to va, thanks for reminding me

viral echo
#

takes it on the plane

oak gazelle
#

it's quite a nifty device

viral echo
#

he's also been to the steam deck factory

stone meadow
#

Worth getting refurbished? not much can break on a steam deck right

oblique stream
#

gallon chat when

oak gazelle
#

I got the 64gb lcd model almost three years ago, waited for it to go on sale and then put the savings towards the upgrades I wanted and my depression dysfunction hit after I upgraded the ssd so the other upgrades have just sat waiting for me to get around to finishing it

twin bear
stone meadow
#

or just straight up used

stone meadow
#

save me a hundred quid

twin bear
#

alot of games are getting official steamdeck support as well

viral echo
#

he got to see the production line, i want one ๐Ÿ™

stone meadow
oak gazelle
#

I see them as more reliable and easy to fix single board computer so used or new as long as the rest of the quality is up to expectations then why not save some money

viral echo
#

all the parts are available for the steam deck as well

twin bear
#

i got a switch

#

but no deck

oak gazelle
#

nothing wrong with the switch either

oak gazelle
#

if it's at the right price point it's a very compelling option for some people

oblique stream
twin bear
#

i like skyrim on it tho

oblique stream
#

its gallon

twin bear
#

is a good mobile game

oblique stream

im correct

twin bear

mountain dew is overrated

oak gazelle

oh no, we're gonna get hit by 'its technically litre'

viral echo

it is

oak gazelle

in some countries

oblique stream

liter

twin bear
#

This is the ranked version of measurements

oblique stream
#

its liter in russian so im not going to say litre

viral echo
#

litre, metre, centre

oak gazelle
#

i honestly dgaf, I really do prefer metric measurements

oblique stream
#

Liter is metric

#

oak gazelle

liter?

viral echo

also meter is a device meter you use to measure something, and metre is a measurement...

inconvenience considered abhorrent by means of tradition and reformed programs

#

crazy

oak gazelle
# stone meadow i mean that is just using celcius then

we just need to go back to the drawing board as a society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-coherent_units_of_measurement

This is a list of units of measurement in active use, which do not form part of a coherent system of measurement. Many of the items listed here are colloquial units based on familiar objects such as parts of the body. Many of the listed units are approximate or vaguely defined. Some are odd multiples or fractions of a base unit.

#

we had some really fun ideas we should revisit

stone meadow
#

sometimes in my job we have to use american parts and some of them are imperial and it always pisses me off

fair bay
#

dude hammer units are so cool

#

we should all measure eachother in Hu

twin bear
#

Hammers are great tools for gaining information

stone meadow
#

yeah grab the 5/64ths and the 8/11th wrench we'll get this on

#

what is a linear scale

viral echo
#

yeah you always need 2 sets of spanners for imperial and metric

twin bear
viral echo
#

what one will i use today

twin bear
#

oh u mean the other thing

#

i meant for the linear scale ofc

#

wrong message to reply

stone meadow
#

the allen keys also have to have an imperial alternative and that annoys me more cause i carry a metric set around

oak gazelle
twin bear
#

anything but pvc

twin bear

the singer?

#

When will they all wither away into obscurity

#

shells designed to sell and produce product for the masses

oak gazelle
#

she's only human, and honestly given everything I've come to learn about her conservatorship she's lucky to be as functional as she is

twin bear
#

I hold no quarter for such people

oak gazelle
#

yeah and unfortunately the more you learn about the industry the more you realize how predatory it is

#

especially with disney kids

#

I don't have to be invested in them as a fan to understand they were exploited

twin bear
#

Let it be known this deep rooted hatred for the societal structure comes from not the people but of the rate of which we absorb and consume

stone meadow
oak gazelle
#

yeah I figure as much, I honestly think advertisements should be severely restricted and reevaluated for legality

stone meadow
#

shes been thrust into the pop culture biz barely 18

twin bear
#

Marketing fatigues me

oak gazelle
stone meadow
#

And taken advantage of massively

twin bear
#

I wish to hear of good products rather than be forced to acknowledge them

oak gazelle
#

a lot of her past behavior made a lot more sense when it came to light

stone meadow
#

Its already a horrible situation and then you got the paparrazi vultures

#

and the tabloids

twin bear
#

The families of these people bleed them dry

stone meadow
#

Its not surprising she had her breakdown, i would breakdown earlier if anything

twin bear
#

and they die old alone and full of regrets because of the life they were shown to live

#

Sometimes the most pain someone can go through is the realization their life has been controlled

oak gazelle
#

and now you've got an adult shia lebeouf letting all his damage hang out too. so many people who were manipulated early so they'd be pliable for producers long term

#

it's gross

twin bear
#

true helplessness, those people can take away just as fast as those privileges were given

stone meadow
#

I just really dislike how all these things people considered funny are all too real breakdowns of real people

#

the 2000s were awful for celebrities

#

It was in general a very insensetive time

twin bear
#

the blissful ignorance of being a menial laborer is peaceful to me

#

I see the world through my own eyes not shut by investors or managers

stone meadow
oak gazelle
#

to go from pre cell phone and internet life to tabloids/paparazzi everywhere as life became permanently online must have been its own nightmare for them

twin bear
#

information is currency these days

#

knowing everything is how some people survive sadly

oak gazelle
#

I got into music and my local punk scene pretty young so I came to learn that a lot of the musicians I idolized were just people and wanted their values idolized moreso than their music

stone meadow
#

check this steak

oak gazelle
#

but people forget that big industry brand names are usually just people

twin bear

i still do not understand how people look past the aggression and futility of pestering famous people

I look forward to experiencing the real American cuisine sometime and eating an entire steak raw

twin bear

serj is the only one worth anything

it's been a long time since the 2000s so all good I just had to double check myself as I was like maybe they did a project together who knows

twin bear
#

well u nailed the designs of the oldschool invaders

i find the book more scary than the movie

stone meadow
#

Anyway yeah im dissapointed in soad members

I am a happier man now that i worry less of those things

I enjoy the first breath i take when i awaken

somehow they always turn anti war music into war anthems

oak gazelle
#

like I cut my teeth as a young musician in various garage bands and there's almost always one or two people who aren't long term member material but you do what you can to make it work

#

More burrito doodle

oak gazelle
#

it became pretty easy to see who was in it for the creative outlet and who was there for the social structuring/status

twin bear
#

i make things to see if i am skilled

which disappoints more often than not

freedom of expression is built off the freedom to fail expressing oneself

u can become the master at somehow flattening ur art too all u gotta do is overthink

#

turning my paper grey with all the mistakes i made i should make concept art for my game but i gave up on drawing for now

#

hl2 beta cremator was why i drew it

stone meadow
#

i feel like that sometimes tbh

twin bear
stone meadow
#

im average at a lot of things, but thats more than the average person is good at

#

which is a bit of a paradox

twin bear
#

good enough to be told you will go somewhere but not enough skill in any specific field to actually have a career for me personally

oak gazelle
#

yeah I think people are designed to enjoy learning though, but finding something you love doing and also feel confident and competent in takes time

#

still looking for something that checks off more towards a sense of ikigai in my next job

twin bear
#

i wish i could be paid to prevent people from dying

stone meadow
#

so thats something at least

twin bear
#

but i have no skills in those fields

twin bear
stone meadow
#

I really do, its just a shame that being an engineer is a lot more boring than i thought

barren raven
#

I might go into engineering

stone meadow
#

All the cool stuff i thought engineers did was done by engineer technicians, which is who I am

#

But we earn less

twin bear
#

You are unreplacable

#

you have a shit ton of value as a community member

stone meadow
#

oh i know no ai is replacing me, its impossible

twin bear
#

no matter how advanced ai becomes they will always need ppl like u

stone meadow
#

But the money isnt as good

twin bear
#

exactly

#

money is always low it seems

stone meadow
#

But tbh, id rather earn less and like to do what i like to do

twin bear
#

they give everyone the bare minimum

stone meadow
#

I like making stuff

barren raven
#

Don't we all

stone meadow
#

My adhd brain is perfectly suited for this enviorment

#

where I gotta do different things every day

twin bear
#

adhd is why i cant write good

#

i lose train of thought

stone meadow
#

But if i go into engineering proper i have to do writeups and management and meetings

#

No time to do the fun part of engineering

twin bear
#

what if i got into politics one day

#

lmao imagine im president imma make every water fountain have soder

barren raven
#

I wanted to get into journalism, but I feel as if that career field is almost a joke these days

barren raven
stone meadow
#

I geniuenly think getting into a field you enjoy doing is much more valuable

twin bear
#

I wanna change things around here

#

but growing up in the system that prevents the maturity of the soul is prolly gonna work against me

stone meadow
#

when i was doing my engineering apprenticeship i was working in a corporate engineering structure which SUCKED

barren raven
#

What if I like doing many things
Ah, screw it, I should become a polymath

stone meadow
#

i didnt want to go to work

twin bear
#

forced to learn on my own, but that turned out better than i had expected

twin bear
stone meadow
#

corporate anything fuckin sucks

#

its meetings upon meetings on the most mundane shit

barren raven
#

I'm still pissed over the fact that I dropped out of HS through little fault of my own, and now I can't study anything

#

Bs laws

twin bear
#

i almost quit but my mentor had faith in me

#

and paid for my gown and stuff

#

so i respected his attempt to give me another chance

stone meadow
#

my work was 60% meetings with other engineering departments, 20% meetings with management, 10% doing my own paperwork and 10% actual physical engineering

twin bear
#

like tech class on steroids

#

all prep and debriefing

stone meadow
#

now working in a non corporate structure i spend 99% of my time making things work, and i love it

barren raven
#

How much of a % of the meetings were actually important

stone meadow
#

maybe 5%

#

at most

barren raven
#

Of course

stone meadow
#

it was mostly meetings about meetings

twin bear
#

they hold meetings so they can have an excuse to pay the head ups who need to be there

#

some company heads literally do nothing and get paid

#

its insane

stone meadow
#

If you want any project done there has to be lots of meetings beforehand about the safety of it, the purpose, the allocation of resources

#

and I as a tech wasted most of my time in these meetings

#

i cant imagine how much time actual engineers wasted

#

their calendars are full of these bs meetings

#

to discuss a discussion to be had about a project thats 2 months out of being realised

#

This is when i worked for UK atomic energy

#

So goverment

lilac quarry
#

would be great to get paid $200k/year to go "hmmm I have nothing to add to this"

stone meadow
#

then fall for a phishing email

lilac quarry
#

real

twin bear
#

even 60k a year just for doing that is nice

lilac quarry
#

erm 60k is broke boi territory

twin bear
#

yeah now it is

stone meadow
#

a department head wouldnt get out of bed for that much

lilac quarry
#

a middle manager wouldn't even rip apart your resume for that much

twin bear
#

a quarter million dollars isnt even that much

lilac quarry
#

per year that's pretty good, but yeah that would've made you super wealthy like 20 years ago

running tech for executives as IT is a great exercise in how massively undervalued the people who keep systems up and running are

im getting a good deal for what im trying to purchase

#

but its still gonna cost over 100 thousand

lilac quarry
#

I can buy rn but I don't want a mortgage tbh

twin bear
#

easily gonna take a decade to get it going and rented out

oak gazelle
#

I'm considering just buying a big box truck and converting it into a stealth apartment, I'm sick of how expensive rent is but adjusting to that kind of lifestyle would be a lot

stone meadow
#

i keep getting ads about borrowing 5.5x my income from multiple major banks for a mortgage

#

must be a recession indicator

oak gazelle
#

just want to be able to make living inexpensive so I can save for land and to build on it

twin bear
#

im taking prison time loan money out

lilac quarry
#

there is no recession in ba sing se

stone meadow
#

im fine with renting the 1 bed basement flat in my area that has a single window in one room for ยฃ1200 a month

#

no utilities included cause fuck you thats why

lilac quarry
#

I don't really care about renting because owning is legitimately so much more expensive it's insane

oak gazelle
#

it's ridiculous what you have to sacrifice in living quality to find options at various budget price points

I know people who lost their house simply because interest rates went up slightly

stone meadow

But all the landlords are responding in a reactionary way on purpose

twin bear
#

new york has a 9% tax increase

lilac quarry
#

ended up being like $1000/month more for their mortgage out of nowhere

stone meadow
#

there are more renter protection laws now in the uk

#

but the landlords try their best to make it as bad as possible

lilac quarry
#

of course

twin bear
#

u can be evicted here for almost nothing

#

a court ordered eviction can be as simple as i hate the person living there

lilac quarry
#

the lady who lives above me threatens to shoot me to death along with other people in the building, and gets arrested on a near monthly basis and has lived here for 10+ years with no way to evict her

stone meadow
#

crazy lmao

#

I swear the laws manage to do the worst possible thing for everyone involved

lilac quarry
#

she also deliberately poured water into a hole in her bathroom wall to flood my apartment for a full year and they tried evicting her and the government was like "nah"

glass wigeon
#

hello chat

what does falafel have to do with anything

stone meadow
#

yeah

stone meadow
#

also i saw that

glass wigeon
#

saw slay the spire 2 comes out soon

stone meadow
#

Anyway I didnt like doner

glass wigeon
#

and decided cause i barely played tyhe first one

#

i should

twin bear
#

ppl still play it

#

somehow

#

a fuckin card based "roguelite"

stone meadow
#

Tasted like meat flavoured cardboard

twin bear
#

no games will be anything like rogue

#

hades be damned

lilac quarry
#

hades was so ass

stone meadow
#

damn

twin bear
#

thats pussy shit compared to dying after 60 hrs of making and running a char on tales of maj

glass wigeon
#

theyre roguelite not traditional roguelike

lilac quarry
#

yeah roguelites are very different

stone meadow
#

My go to roguelike is balatro

twin bear
#

ppl get it confused so often lol

glass wigeon
#

even roguelike is different than traditional roguelike

lilac quarry
#

binding of isaac is still greatest of all time for sure but there are fantastic ones out there

glass wigeon
#

tales of maj is traditional roguelike

#

same with caves of qud

#

and cdda

lilac quarry
#

yeah I cannot play rogue likes lol

twin bear
#

roguelike is an entirely generated world with one life then it completely changes

glass wigeon
#

elona+

#

elin

lilac quarry
#

really wanted to like caves of qud but christ my brain is not wired for that

twin bear
#

or that is how rogue worked

stone meadow
#

I mean roguelike/roguelite definition is heavily debated

glass wigeon
#

cogmind

#

adom

twin bear
#

i play the og rogue

#

its fun

lilac quarry
#

I think roguelite is what is considered to be the replay value bullet hell genre

twin bear
#

stuff like binding

lilac quarry
#

obviously balatro falls into that without bullet hell

#

roguelike is like rogue lol

glass wigeon
#

roguelite is you can advance in other areas outside after losing a run

#

like upgrading stuff

#

liek the mirror in hades

stone meadow
#

I mean imo zomboid is a roguelite if you play in the same save, and roguelike if you dont

glass wigeon
#

roguelike is just none of that

twin bear
#

rogue will have u be end game then kill u and make u restart the entire thing

lilac quarry
#

nah pz is not a roguelite

glass wigeon
#

each run is its own no further things outside

twin bear
#

with zero same paths

stone meadow
#

In your opinion

lilac quarry
#

I'm a roguelite connoisseur

#

but yeah

stone meadow
#

These genres arent hard defined thats why there are so many arguments about it

glass wigeon
lilac quarry
#

basically roguelite is "is it like binding of isaac or this game that's similar to binding of isaac but different in some ways"

#

roguelike is like "oh yeah that games requires a brain and you can't just dopamine max while playing it"

twin bear
#

roguelike generates a world based on that players save, and then you are limited to one life and it regenerates the world and lore

#

basically a different game after every death

stone meadow
#

yeah thats your own definition

glass wigeon
#

yeah

twin bear
#

some options even let u have classes and races change every run

glass wigeon
#

roguelites have a progression type thing overall

lilac quarry
#

but I'm always right so it's true

glass wigeon
#

as i said like the mirror in hades

stone meadow
#

Hmm

glass wigeon
#

but roguelikes dont have that

lilac quarry
#

who said that

stone meadow
#

Is being in the discord a roguelike or a roguelite

twin bear
#

rogue is rly fun though

lilac quarry
#

those games do psychic damage to me

glass wigeon
#

what would u consider dwarf fortress adventure mode

lilac quarry

but I respect the games

stone meadow
#

lilac quarry
#

balatro is unique

strange spruce
#

i heard some of its soundtrack

glass wigeon
#

vampyr is a cool game

strange spruce
#

got me interested enough to want to get it

glass wigeon
#

i never finished it

#

but its good

lilac quarry
#

to me

stone meadow
#

ok

#

this is why we needed more discord mods

#

to balance out your massive ego

twin bear
#

why doesnt he cover his junk

stone meadow
#

ts (this shit) is only 4gbs

candid tide
#

the ego you got from hitting people with deez nuts jokes

stone meadow
#

easily could be a mobile game

lilac quarry

barony is a nice roguelike

lilac quarry
#

thought you were 35

stone meadow
#

sure sure

lilac quarry
#

that's actually up for debate

glass wigeon
#

theres no meta progression

#

each run is a different thing

stone meadow
#

Roguewhatever as a category is all up for debate

glass wigeon
#

its a roguelike

lilac quarry
#

hmmmm

oak gazelle
#

I should go back and actually try to learn dead cells instead of just button mashing

stone meadow
#

its probably one of the most debated genres

twin bear
#

rogussy games bro they all have the same anger inducing concepts of losing it all

glass wigeon
#

thats cause people r dumb

#

the genres are very easy to tell apart

they are the nicest

lilac quarry

enclave are the real heroes

frank fucking horrigan

stone meadow
#

the enclave, aka the biggest losers of the fallout universe

their power armour is fire tho

stone meadow

somehow getting fucked every appearance

ur just mad u cant drink the good water

though in hades with every death you just kinda get some nice content on the side

rotund sleet

if the plot didnt will it frank wouldve obliterated the chosen one

in fallout universe not like the galaxy ofc

#

frank is just stupid sadly

lilac quarry
#

pretend I know nothing (who am i again?) why is the enclave bad

stone meadow
#

And frank himself was supposed to be irony

twin bear
#

he should have had a redemption option

stone meadow
#

The best that the enclave has is a supermutant

twin bear
#

accepting his mutie ways

glass wigeon
#

have u watched season 2 of flalout tv show

lilac quarry
#

me? no

#

not yet

glass wigeon
#

damn

#

can i write something about it but spoiler it

lilac quarry
#

guess I should do that soon since I was just waiting for it to all come out

stone meadow
#

And they stake their whole ideal on the fact that pre human genes are superior, despite frank being the strongest out of them all

lilac quarry

sure I won't look thanks for spoilering

Who is again the result of FEV

||when cooper howard hands the diode to the president of the united states of all people thats when i finally knew what house meant by he would be the one||

twin bear
#

but it ended up becoming a test

#

alot of ppl forget or dont know before the great war ppl were alrdy almost dead

stone meadow
#

the whole point of the enclave is failing repeatedly in their xenophobic ways

#

they never won

glass wigeon
#

i kill enclave in fallout 3

oak gazelle
#

the enclave have been steadily declining in relevance for ages but they want to return to their factions roots which are unfortunately fascism, they are everything to take from and repurpose in the post apocalypse wasteland

twin bear
#

u didnt see dogs and shit in prewar america like that because they ate them to survive

twin bear
#

we only rly see the rich part of prewar

oak gazelle
#

the inspiration for the likes of BoS unfortunately since there's a lot of overlap

twin bear
#

bos is ass too

stone meadow
#

Despite being the most prepared in the post apocalypse they fuck up by sticking to their principle of thinking theyre better than the wastelanders

twin bear

they went from cool xenophobic toaster hoarders

the more I replay 3 and new vegas the more I realize how let down I felt by 4

stone meadow
#

There is no good faction really, but the whole point is basing your faction on what failed pre war

oak gazelle
#

it's solid enough I just don't revisit it often

stone meadow
#

The followers are great morally

oak gazelle
#

just stupid when it comes to exerting influence

twin bear
#

killed off by almost everyone because they wont fight back

glass wigeon
#

morals dont keep the world running

#

the true good guys of the post war
