[hallow isle]

I just have a usbc cable i literally hang over the TV to charge it

controller just dangles

[opaque tartan]

...

This fkn guy

Thank fuck we don't live together

[hallow isle]

dyson fan, too cheap for a charger dock? 😄

[knotty ruin]

Make sure to give it a good smack to loosen the port

[opaque tartan]

Dickead LOL

Did you use that fan this summer?

[opaque tartan]

Get the docks man

[hallow isle]

for all three days yeah

[opaque tartan]

Dude it's so drab

[knotty ruin]

I picked up this cooling fan awhile ago for box, keeps this thing 60 degrees cooler on average

They say don’t use them officially, but I think it’s so u buy a new console faster lol

[opaque tartan]

Unless it messes with airflow

[hallow isle]

I don't need the remote anyway, everything I have supports CEC

[opaque tartan]

Yeah same

The remote is just something that would sit around

[knotty ruin]

Airflow is same direction but ye if it was pulling and pushing prob screw it up

[hallow isle]

I can actually use the tv controller for gaming

i mean it sucks for it but i can

[opaque tartan]

You sound like my mate

Obsessed with making stuff work for Fire TV remote

[hallow isle]

could get a blue console cover too

[knotty ruin]

I miss my fire stick used to have kodi on it

[opaque tartan]

Did you see the brand ones I posted?

Bruv...

Next level

[tardy juniper]

I have a FireTV 4K, but it's unimpressive

[opaque tartan]

Someone was harping on about Roku being really good now

[tardy juniper]

I just like being able to search across all my streaming services

[hallow isle]

didn't

[knotty ruin]

Roku is pretty good, every app built into tv

[hallow isle]

doesn't look like the covers are available from third partys boo

[tardy juniper]

our TVs native interface is garbage

[opaque tartan]

@hallow isle https://dbrand.com/shop/special-edition/ps5?category=disc

Very tempting

But then I'd want to buy 3 different ones

[hallow isle]

ooooh

[opaque tartan]

All 4 of the transparent ones bruv

Standard

[hallow isle]

I like the fact it doens't have corners

[opaque tartan]

And you know it

Custom light strips too

[tardy juniper]

are any of them padded, so it hurts less when I kick it?

[hallow isle]

not kicking it is free

[tardy juniper]

at some point I should go give my PC a blow

[opaque tartan]

Can or vacuum?

[tardy juniper]

I even bought a special vacuum to do it

[opaque tartan]

I need to clean the PS5 actually

@hallow isle get all grey so you can have something that looks as shit as an old Compaq SFF PC

[hallow isle]

$71 tho

could just 3d print one

[opaque tartan]

I'm willing to spend if it makes it look peng when people come over

But

I do prefer the original colour of the things I buy

Out of principle

[hallow isle]

A lot of third party cases are just garish tbh

With Baldur's Gate 3 getting so much (rightfully deserved) attention, I hope more people check out Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves. It's still one of my favorite films of the year and I genuinely believe in a few years it'll be looked back on as a modern classic.

Agreed 💕

[primal kelp]

i watched it i recommend

[chrome belfry]

Deez is the best movie though

[opaque tartan]

Is it on IMDB?

[chrome belfry]

Idk what that is but sure

[pale meadow]

By far one of the better versions of that game

[chrome belfry]

Anyways Deez is the most movie

It’s totally a real movie

that is the third time you've brought that weak-ass tween humor in here...welcome to my block list junior

[hallow isle]

Same as IRL

[jaunty copper]

this was my thought

[primal kelp]

wow

[molten tundra]

Yall watch the new Guardians of The Galaxy movie yet?

[pale meadow]

Saw it in theaters lol, but yes

[prime estuary]

it was amazing lmao

[molten tundra]

Nice! I watched it on Disney+

[pale meadow]

Sweet, just drop yes?

What did you think of it?@molten tundra

[molten tundra]

It was good

But mostly sad

[pale meadow]

Yeah||last part was||

[molten tundra]

I didn't really find it sad tbh

Did you watch the end-credits scene?

[pale meadow]

Yep

It hit home for me because of the animals tbh

[molten tundra]

Yeah same

So cute tho

[pale meadow]

James Gun did and interview with the names of the four animals on it. A shirt I have never wanted more in my life lol

[still tartan]

GO GO GO

we gotta HOAAARD

Cant WAIT for crossplatform

Also, I may or maynot start to trade relics

[tardy juniper]

oh look, I have a mastered gram prime, and a full set

[slender quartz]

Even Muzzer's farther along than me. LOL

haha, farther is an anagram of her fart

Yes, Bongo. pats head Here's another crayon to chew.

If an eagle dropped it on her would they have to make her President?

[lime sand]

I've only went decently hard on it for about 2 days. But, I made it to Venus, finished Duviri, and my Volt frame is lvl 21

Can I open relics yet? Probably not

[still tartan]

I haven’t even done duviri lmfao i really should

[slender quartz]

...I hate you. LOL

[lime sand]

It's pretty short!

And you get a nice blueprint for the swords

[still tartan]

I’ve just been living on Deimos fishing and “rescuing” animals from the wild into my pocketses

[lime sand]

Fair

[still tartan]

Probably do that tomorrow if I can. I finally got deadlock protocol down after much procrastination

[lime sand]

I was looking at the weapon list, just a droolin.

[still tartan]

I have 43 of one species in my backpack 😂😂

[slender quartz]

I've got maybe five hours total in, spread across a week. Got to Venus, have half of Earth done, Mastery 2, and Mag frame up to...16?

[lime sand]

And trying to figure out how to get frame parts. Duviri also gives you the Gura frame

[still tartan]

Nice work! Hell of a lot more productive than my first week

Lowkey wish I picked Mag :/

Volt is great but Mag looks a little more my style

[slender quartz]

I barely use the Mag abilities. I'm getting expert at Pull by accident.

[tardy juniper]

I replace pull with Spectrorage

[lime sand]

Volt's speed enhance has been my bread and butter with bullet jumping all over the place

[still tartan]

I believe each planet’s assassination boss mission can drop a blueprint. Like Hydroid for Earth, Rhino(?) from Jackal

[tardy juniper]

Mag is insanely powerful once you know how to use her

[lime sand]

I have became a blender

[still tartan]

It’s why I love heat sword, it goes so fast and it makes my brain happy

[slender quartz]

Which I don't. Did the tutorial at 3 AM while without sleep for 19 hours. LOL

[still tartan]

Is my sleep schedule contagious or something 😂

[lime sand]

I have 2 relics from somewhere. And I did some not so subtle googling "to hell with discovery" prompts

[cursive agate]

I'm completely lost can someone point me to a old folks home.

[slender quartz]

Nah, I was like this before you were born. LOL

[still tartan]

I’ve been feeling awful for a couple weeks. Warframe at least helps with the mental side

pure dopamine from making dogs lol

[lime sand]

Why'd you spread it to wormy? Now y'all need to go into quarantine

[slender quartz]

Tomorrow's my dad's eye surgery. A lot of stress and worry lately, and more coming.

[still tartan]

Ay no shame in using the wiki, there’s so much to the game and for a while I was too intimidated to play it on my own time

[lime sand]

Oh, also, imma try and figure out how we could make a group in game

[still tartan]

Wishing y’all the best of luck. It’s hard as hell right now, sounds like it for each of us, but it’ll get better

[slender quartz]

I can invite, but can't be invited for some reason.

You can't friend cross-platform.

[still tartan]

I would 100% make a clan for our warframe friendos but clans aren’t crossplay grouping works though

[lime sand]

I now have the companion app, relic app, where to find resources, timers, active missions. Etc etc etc

[still tartan]

They better get on the crossplay stuff

[wise stream]

Hello all

[lime sand]

yet one can dream

[slender quartz]

Oh! Did I mention that since the first time I've played, I've been 80% solo? LOl

[still tartan]

Oh shiiit. I should. Didn’t know there were apps 😂

[cursive agate]

Would you guys be mad if I put a baby Yoda photo as my pfp?

[lime sand]

My hunger for answers is scary

[slender quartz]

Why would we?

No?

[cursive agate]

[still tartan]

I’ve had to solo almost all of my planetary nodes so far trying to do matchmaking for ones I’m farming but it can get frustrating

[lime sand]

Oh... I was thinking of the size of the hat

[cursive agate]

Lol. I mean I did say mega

[lime sand]

Eh, should be fine

Yeah, mega. The size

[cursive agate]

@slender quartz Let us know how the surgery turns out. Hopefully everything will be fine.

[lime sand]

[wise stream]

I’ve recently noticed I’ve gotten more bold when I play PUBG I literally just threw a c4 in a room with a full team in it and somehow lived

I downed no one

[cursive agate]

The years someone has to practice & study to become a surgeon is crazy long.

[lime sand]

Serious putty wasn't serious enough

[cursive agate]

Just use c4 that's serious putty

[slender quartz]

I'm less worried about the surgical skill than the fact that an 82 year-old man with one eye is getting the "good" eye redone.

[lime sand]

I enjoy solo so much... I have to REALLY like the group to want to do group

[still tartan]

Grouping for void relics is awesome for trying to get the best outcomes, just widens the reward pool in case you get something bad and someone else gets a thing you want. Otherwise I try to avoid people, unless it’s our buddies here

Farming is pretty much the exception I guess

[lime sand]

I'd rather throw on some tunes than play with randoms

Unless it's those defend missions, I need a better build to go 50 waves in those solo

[slender quartz]

Randos have been kind to me. I just don't like being carried, or waiting extra time while they loot everything.

[still tartan]

One of my buddies will always take a moment to put on the doom soundtrack, because of course he does

[slender quartz]

Heh. I had no idea what a defend mission was, then misclicked the first time it gave me the option to end it.

[lime sand]

Maaaan, imma expand his horizons

[humble marsh]

Yeah, I always like to listen to music while doing monotonous warframe grinding

that is what I am doing rn, in fact

[still tartan]

Never feel guilty for being new. If they don’t like playing with newcomers they can go back to closed sessions and git gud 😂 I’ve seen people lose their minds a couple times over players not knowing what to do. How dare you not have the wiki open at all times and go max speed all the time

[lime sand]

Me searching for caches like a dodo

[cursive agate]

@still tartan This is the mix I use a lot

https://youtu.be/UQQSM0ynGmE

[slender quartz]

Less feeling guilty as impatient. I have limited playing time.

[lime sand]

"what do you MEAN it wasn't in the camp, all the enemies were there! Enemies mean loot"

[humble marsh]

...Did the game seriously just bug out on me

[still tartan]

Every player has been exactly where you are and some people get a stupid ego about their hours and their gear

bro I always look for lockers even when they’re at extraction. give me that yummy 50 energy and 87 credits

[humble marsh]

altho we should probably move this to #1137135463283576963

[cursive agate]

Ego is hard to overcome. I've mostly dealt with it & humbled myself but it took years.

[still tartan]

I get it. I try to make the most of it, which is kind of why I like chilling on deimos so much. Almost anything I do is productive there.

[lime sand]

There is a thread for that???

[still tartan]

Yeah!

[cursive agate]

That's what those games bet on so you'll pay

[still tartan]

Got us a warframe thread

Come on in

Ego in video games is a little ridiculous to me, specifically when it affects how you treat others. Confidence is one thing when you can back it up, but people don’t deserve to get hollered at for taking a little longer to pick things up or not knowing what’s the absolute best way to do things

[lime sand]

In any game, unless you all have agreed for a specific goal like speedrunning

Randos should always have grace, or you can't handle that, do it solo scrub

[still tartan]

Absolutely! That’s where real grown-up communication matters. Like if you join a raid as a new player, you should be fairly prepared because other people are committing to it and rely on you to know your role. But random missions where you could just solo it anyway, no need for it

[lime sand]

Ruined the sky

Ooo, yeah, raids are a great example

[slender quartz]

Meh, I can't text properly on PS4, and have no speakers/mic. So for all I know randos are either toxic as hell or really nice.

[humble marsh]

ah shit there's a seam in the sky, get the file

[still tartan]

ESO raids were a bit of a nightmare

[lime sand]

Reminds me of Sword art online abridged

[still tartan]

Ah yeah. Xbox is a little tricky too

[lime sand]

Just get to a high enough level to do the raid solo

[humble marsh]

I don't think until warframe I've ever played a MMO with other people

I mean ofc they were in the background but

[lime sand]

I only played 1 other, and that was Fusion Fall on cartoon network, before it was officially taken offline. And now back online due to fans

[slender quartz]

I did a while back.

[outer quiver]

y'all think I should put a laser or 2nd grip on my nerf gun?

[chrome belfry]

Nice 👍

[opaque tartan]

What one you got?

I have one of these and I still need to mod it

[outer quiver]

it's a modulus

I actually have one of the things

but the belt got jammed

[opaque tartan]

Add everything to it

[outer quiver]

added both

[outer quiver]

I could've bought those earlier

went with the modulus though

[opaque tartan]

Yeah I kinda want to get some of the older ones

I saw some cool mods a decade ago

[slender quartz]

I passed up an entire large tote full of Nerf rifles this past weekend.

[outer quiver]

you fool

[slender quartz]

Hardly. I'm an adult who lives alone.

[chrome belfry]

I put real bullets in my nerf guns

Works quite well

[cursive agate]

You're never alone with meow moews

[chrome belfry]

I win a lot of nerf battles

[lament knot]

Here’s my nerf weapon

It’s nerf then nothing!

[slender quartz]

I've actually seen a lot of customizers chop Nerf pistols to make cyberpunk speeders. I have a couple that I'll eventually get around to doing that with.

[jovial dragon]

Preston. Garvey.

Why are you doing this to me?

STOP picking up random garbage.

You have a LASER MUSKET.

[hot rain]

“Another settlement needs your help”

[jovial dragon]

I know people hate Preston.

But I adore him.

[outer quiver]

for me he picks up flamers

[jovial dragon]

I love the Minutemen.

Yeah, I said it.

I LOVE THEM.

[jovial dragon]

Joking aside, I love the MM style, their outfits, their weapons, their ideology.

They also have some of the most powerful shit in the game.

When the proper time is invested, they are easily the most powerful faction in the game, no question

[lime sand]

With enough mortars...

[jovial dragon]

Not even that, that is cool and all.

But the laser musket is where it is at.

Has one of the highest per shot damage ceilings in the game.

Which is even more powerful with Equilbrillium.

[still tartan]

Usually all I hear is anti-minutemen (well, anti-Preston) 😂 I liked them, as far as factions go I’d say they’re one of the less problematic ones

I went with Brotherhood of Steel on my first real playthrough, got some good character narrative out of it

and power armor

[jovial dragon]

BoS are awesome.

Evil, to an extent, but awesome.

[elder shale]

getting new PC

[still tartan]

Yeah, I wasn’t totally on board with their beliefs 😬 the battle blimp was sick though

[hot rain]

Lol i mist admit i like the Minutemen i think we all have to agree the railroad is the worst faction

[jovial dragon]

I like them too.

Bunch of wakos, but they cool.

[hot rain]

Tinker tom i like, flash backs from fallout 3

[jovial dragon]

I like the secret agent style.

Could of done without the shitty church for a HQ though...

[hot rain]

I so wish there was a quest to take back their old HQ same with the minutemen and concord

[jovial dragon]

^

Or get a new one.

[hot rain]

That aswell

[still tartan]

I never got the appeal of the institute but I never did give it a try so probably missing something

[hot rain]

I actually like the institute they are flawed in some of their beliefs but literally every faction is but i do like their blinding white aesthetics

[still tartan]

lolll

[hot rain]

Brotherhood i don’t like in fallout 4 but in 3 I liked em alot

But my all time favourite faction is the enclave

Boom i said it the bad bads

[still tartan]

Clean clinical white is definitely not my vibe 😂 I like the wasteland leather duster + sunglasses fit, somewhere between minutemen morals and BoS firepower

i have not played FO games before 4

[hot rain]

Haha are you saying you don’t like getting blinded by a second nuclear bomb only for it to be the walls and clothes of everything in the institute? Well i never

[hot rain]

Fallout new Vegas is gold definitely give that a try

Fallout 3 got me hooked on the the whole series so i am bias

[still tartan]

I gotta. Just like with TES I started on the most recent and work backwards lol

[hot rain]

Haha fair enough, I personally love fallout 4 so much i occasionally get on just to dick around or randomly save then kill everyone in one of my settlements and reload because “fuuuuuuuuuuu you Preston”

[still tartan]

pfff

[hot rain]

TES i couldn’t get into, but i may need to give it some more time haha i think i was a bit harsh

[still tartan]

Nothing like roaming the wasteland and accidentally headbutting a deathclaw and immediately regretting picking this direction

[still tartan]

Aw man. I’ve been so obsessed with TES for like a decade and then I started getting into ESO, Oblivion, Morrowind. No longer play the mmo, too much to keep up with for the time I have, but I literally just finished a skyrim playthrough I’m doing a story for lmao

But it’s not for everyone and I totally get that

[hot rain]

I think because at the time when i did give TES a try i had just played fallout 4 religiously (yes it took me that long to look at TES) and the change of tactics and style caught me off guard so i sorta was like “not for me back to fallout”

So i may have to give it a proper run

[still tartan]

ohh 😂 yeah, sometimes the timing just isn’t right and there’s something else completely filling the brain. I didn’t play warframe because I was also super obsessed with Destiny 2 and now that I’m in D2 burnout I’m discovering a love for Warframe I couldn’t have imagined

[barren canyon]

Hello

What's the talk about

[still tartan]

It feels a lot more fun now than it did when I last gave it a go. Probably because of how life is atm, much less pressure/stress to keep up and be at my sharpest gaming skills. I mainly play warframe to relax and hang out with my friendos

just talking about games

[barren canyon]

Talking about games

[lime sand]

Shoot, I like the railroad more than the other factions.

[barren canyon]

I hope my dad didnt turn off hydroneer i left when leaving to farm some things

He doesn't like when a program is left running

[still tartan]

Minutemen and BoS were my favorites

[barren canyon]

Mostly because power bill

[hot rain]

Yeh i completely get that, works been getting me all sorts of busy, i like that tho keeps me well busy 😂

[still tartan]

Haha I liked keeping my brain full of chores and tasks and Warframe has so many. But it’s all no stress because no one needs me to farm xyz for raids or whatever else!

[lime sand]

Busy is good for some things

[lime sand]

Warframe doesn't feel like chores, nobody like chores glares holes in GTAO

[hard vine]

@still tartan how is the wormiest of worms?

[still tartan]

Life has been pretty overwhelming but that’s nothing new. It’ll get worse before it gets better and that’s how it is so I might as well have a good time at some point

[hard vine]

[still tartan]

fine! you?

[hot rain]

That’s exactly right haha i have so many ideas for NMS just not the time to do it atm

[hard vine]

Good

[still tartan]

TRUE

[lime sand]

NMS still doesn't have hype channel, am sad

[hot rain]

If only there was a moderator here that could influence a hype channel 🥹

[barren canyon]

Emoji needed

[outer quiver]

y'all think I should dress feminine or masculine?

can't decide

[jovial dragon]

Um.

what

[still tartan]

Ah man if only

[still tartan]

As I’ve said before, it’s all up to you, no one else’s decision :).

[outer quiver]

I can't decide

[lime sand]

Flip a coin?

[still tartan]

There ya go

[outer quiver]

so I'm asking

ok

[lime sand]

If it lands on the edge, you gotta do both. Dems the rulez

[still tartan]

Dress tucked into cargo shorts

[barren canyon]

I dont dislike anything about gender, just question why it become a big thing now

[lime sand]

Well, you see, in the US

[barren canyon]

Oh i get it

[lime sand]

Yep

[barren canyon]

Thanks

[lime sand]

Np

[still tartan]

actually little known fact i invented gender. be good or ill steal it back

[hot rain]

robs bank

Do your worst 😈

[lime sand]

No takesie backsies

[still tartan]

[barren canyon]

Keep distance of 5 pizzas and we're good

[outer quiver]

can you steal it from my agender friend?

they don't like gender

[still tartan]

it’d be like negative gender maybe

[barren canyon]

I bet their textures gonna be inverted after that

[outer quiver]

more storms

lovely

[barren canyon]

Gonna get back home and extrude some things

[lime sand]

Woo! Imma count how many trees this one takes down

[barren canyon]

Oh hi Nate

[hot rain]

What are you extruding 😂

[outer quiver]

this storm has formed a battering ram

[still tartan]

some things

[outer quiver]

why

[barren canyon]

... things

In blender

[lime sand]

But, they don't have one to begin with?

[hot rain]

Oh haha that makes sense, here i was thinking wall

[barren canyon]

No wall extruding yet

[opaque tartan]

Damn, caught up with football highlights. Didn't realise Megan Rapinoe missed a penalty.
Gareth Southgate missed an important penalty during a semi final in 1996 and has turned out to be one of the best managers we've ever had.

[still tartan]

I definitely know what those words mean

[opaque tartan]

Hopefully good boss

[lime sand]

Ooooh

[opaque tartan]

You can only teach good players if you know what failure feels like

On a world scale

People chatting shit have no idea and need to give her a break tbh

[outer quiver]

y'all think frying a brick of colby jack would be a mistake?

[lime sand]

From my band director:
"You will always be afraid about something, until you screw something up so bad no mistake will come close to what happened"

[lime sand]

Depends

[still tartan]

I’ve been on a competitive swim team. Not anything like football/soccer obviously but the coaches I had were almost always awesome

[barren canyon]

I think frying a mozzarella brick isn't a good idea

[outer quiver]

depends on what?

[lime sand]

The breading

[opaque tartan]

Only way I've ever learnt is by sucking a few times

[still tartan]

Eat the cheese brick like a protein bar

[opaque tartan]

I played rugby when I was young

[lime sand]

This is the best way to eat sharp cheddar

[opaque tartan]

I'd get broken now

But the coaches were great

[still tartan]

Easy to get discouraged, but sticking with something you’re bad at and then feeling that improvement is so rewarding

[opaque tartan]

Thankful

Yeah exactly Wormy

[lime sand]

Besides, even fighters ask "have you ever lost a fight?"

[opaque tartan]

I wouldn't have done anything with my life with the shitty attitude some people have

[lime sand]

Losing is a great reminder of your limitations

[barren canyon]

Example of higher pleasure

[opaque tartan]

Kinda want to punch them

[barren canyon]

I heard about lower and higher ones

[lime sand]

When you know your limitations, you know how to surpass them

[opaque tartan]

I have one black mark on my career and I vowed to never let it happen again

[barren canyon]

Low are something like food, movies and so on

[opaque tartan]

Not my fault but still

Seeing the signs

[barren canyon]

And high are something that you made yourself

[lime sand]

I read something similar in a psychology article a while back. We might've read the same thing

[opaque tartan]

That's the good shit

Put it in my veins

Yeah no I was not at all a good competitive swimmer 😂 fastest 50 yard freestyle was like 30 seconds. But after seeing so many, literally almost all my teammates injure themselves in drastic ways trying to get better, I was like “nah I’m working on my technique and minding my business.” One thing that really stuck with me was how bad the parents of these kids treated them when they ‘failed’ by not winning a heat. So I kind of intentionally lagged behind because I knew my parents wouldn’t do that to me.

Awful, the kind of pressure that was put on everyone

[lime sand]

JEEZ THE PARENTS

[opaque tartan]

Yeah I didn't have that with sport but with education

Woah

I'm still low-key a perfectionist, that mentality never really leaves you. But it took a Long LONG time to give myself some slack

[opaque tartan]

I'm glad when people get through their crap

It really drags everything else down

[still tartan]

I’m trying so hard. But even this week, since I’m taking summer class, even my eyes have been real effed up from insomnia it’s just been a god awful year on many fronts and it carries over to all the older worries resurfacing and progress on my anxiety regressing.

thats deffo oversharing but yknow

[lime sand]

Sometimes it's good to vent

[opaque tartan]

Insomnia affected my most recent job

I feel you mate

Nothing scarier than a dredging feeling you can't put words to

Yeaaaah, I'm in Atlanta, I can drive a car. I refuse to share a road with those homicidal maniacs

Public Transportation is shite here. But not too terrible, unless you go to the shite stations

Here in WA, homicidal maniacs are on the road, off the road, and sometimes on cars

do you have a budget or are you just looking

[opaque tartan]

You try it and make some shit

[still tartan]

Oh, yeah. In a gen chem lab, someone left the methane gas hose running for like 8 whole seconds and sat there with the striker trying to light the bunsen burner. I turned off the gas and told him to ask the professor why that was a bad idea

[opaque tartan]

Then make slightly better shit

[still tartan]

Methane is very flammable

[lime sand]

We had to evacuate the science block at high school because of bromine

[silent wagon]

Teachers when I was a kid: "You won't always have a calculator on you in the real world!"
Cell phones become standard literally everywhere a few years later

[still tartan]

We had like four people per lab hood too, could have been a disaster

[lime sand]

If the striker ain't striking, ask yourself, is there enough oxygen in this environment?
If your answer is "no", consider not using the striker

[severe idol]

well a curved one by samsung is really cool and immersive, really either samsung or lg

[lime sand]

Ok, this is fair. Bromine is incredibly toxic if inhaled

[silent wagon]

Minimum effort in your asshole?

[elder shale]

oh man, i gotta check controls again - it's been a few years huh

[still tartan]

The lack of initiative is really why I can’t bond with my classmates. Just zero drive, zero ambition. Going through the motions because someone told them to

[opaque tartan]

Adam already told everyone about my colonoscopies

[lime sand]

Straight up going as far as to type "negative consequences about x " and wonder why all the inquiries are negative, therefore x is bad

[opaque tartan]

This is why I buried a delusional moron last night

i lost alot of ambition this year but i still try a bit

[opaque tartan]

And why more people need to get a slap

Burnout is real. I chose a major I’m really passionate about and as much as I love learning, sometimes I really hate it here

[opaque tartan]

I can't accept, that with all the tools and opportunities at people's disposal, they still find it impossible to do some basic shit

[lime sand]

I usually get frustrated when a program doesn't keep up with my hunger for learning.

[opaque tartan]

And then have the nerve to push their opinion or narrative on others

[severe idol]

i have law as well in case i fail cause i am doing math methods

[opaque tartan]

That's when they get buried

[severe idol]

If I get bored, I just start googling my own questions

[silent wagon]

Adam Tarantino doesn't get to talk shit about anyone, I saw how desperate he was for foot pics

[lime sand]

Oh dang

[still tartan]

It’d be different if they took accountability when they realize they were failing, but they always blame anything else and demand to be spoonfed the answers

[opaque tartan]

Mate we're seeing PeakB in 2023

[still tartan]

Aint gonna work in pharmacology

[lime sand]

HA accountability. They would blame the plants outside before they blame the bastard in the mirror

[opaque tartan]

Ugh

I'm held accountable for shit that isn't even my responsibility sometimes

[severe idol]

i was going for GP pharmisist or lawyer at least thats the path i chose

[lime sand]

This is coming from a person so bored with school, I would put myself at like 1.4 GPA first semester, to then have a 3.6 the next semester

[still tartan]

Hilariously almost what happened with my bio 3 project group. It surely was bad plant genetics and not failure to properly set up, to water, to remove excess sprouts, to trim, to measure with accuracy

I did so much work for that group

Took years off my life

[opaque tartan]

And the issues arise because people are unreliable and find excuses to not pull their weight

[lime sand]

Imagine: accurate results with a living organism, means that organism needs to come to maturity for results to be recorded.... who would've thunk

In tandem, but it could. Depends on where you work

[outer quiver]

but it's worth asking

[still tartan]

Literally every possible source of error there was, we had, because simple instructions couldn’t get through to them. I spent lab time labeling dozens of cells only for them to set up the experiment such that every label became inaccurate and had to be remade. Despite me reminding them about four different times

[outer quiver]

you mean location or specific field?

[lime sand]

Location.

Bioengineer working along side a surgeon to create replacement heart valves from pig cells for a patient headed to surgery, that counts as medical in my book

[severe idol]

I have to be careful no one copies my work casue all our work gets checked and if its the same we both fail even if i subit it days before

[still tartan]

I would count it, it’s relevant and I imagine requires knowledge of human health

Qe4 - h7

[night bobcat]

Not a clue

[hallow isle]

Yeah, that's checkmate

[severe idol]

it was sweaden i gave up after the chess cause the capta and the add to 25 messed up

[hallow isle]

Well mate in 1, king could go to f8

just prolongs the inevitable

[night bobcat]

Yep, just drawing it out

Player would concede in all likelihood

[night bobcat]

Lol

That is the Queen, no?

[near jacinth]

idk, i played chess only few times

[night bobcat]

Try just e4 h7

[hallow isle]

would only be an illegal move if the white king was in check

[night bobcat]

If that doesn't work, try f6 h5

[outer quiver]

gotta love wolf spiders crawling around everywhere in your house

[hallow isle]

I think it's the notation

[near jacinth]

man im going to spend my whole life to complete this fucking game

[hallow isle]

Qh7 maybe

[near jacinth]

invalid notation

[near jacinth]

illegal move

[night bobcat]

It did say whites move, yeah?

[near jacinth]

yes

white to move

[primal kelp]

dont add a space

thats your issue

[night bobcat]

Wants long algebraic?

[outer quiver]

f6h5 instead of f6 h5

[near jacinth]

still didnt work

[hallow isle]

I mean I literally just put that into a chess player and Qh7 was accepted your game is dumb

[night bobcat]

Qe4h7

[primal kelp]

wait is he white or black

[night bobcat]

White

idk never seen a photo

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-clapping-clap-applause-amazing-gif-16384995

its c3 to d5 lol

do you guys not play chess

[near jacinth]

still didnt work man

[primal kelp]

actually could be wrong but thats what i would go

[night bobcat]

Lol

[hallow isle]

how on earth could it be c3 to d5

that's just shuffling a knight around

oh

try

[night bobcat]

When you click the algebraic link, what format is it showing?

[hallow isle]

Qh7+

[night bobcat]

There are like 6 different notations called algebraic

[near jacinth]

YES

FINALLY

[hallow isle]

Qh7+?

[primal kelp]

theres no way to keep a check

[night bobcat]

It's asking for the best move, not a finishing move

[near jacinth]

yes

[primal kelp]

sure isnt black?

[night bobcat]

Nice

[primal kelp]

oh its the notation

[night bobcat]

Yeah

[primal kelp]

they should really specify that

wait how is qh7+ the best move?

[hallow isle]

Because it's mate in 1

[night bobcat]

It forces their king to move into an eventual mate, yeah

[hallow isle]

The queen can't be captured because of the knight

[primal kelp]

king takes knight

[hallow isle]

kings can't fly

[lime sand]

King must move from check, and in traditional rules, kings can't take pieces for some reason

[primal kelp]

wut

[hallow isle]

they can, but only if the space isn't threatened

you can't move from check to check

[primal kelp]

the knight on f6 cant be taken?

[hallow isle]

no

[night bobcat]

Queen takes the pawn, king moves once more, now trapped

[lime sand]

Yeah, and I now saw the white knight would protect the queen

[night bobcat]

Either way, it's over

[lime sand]

Queen moves to besides king, guarded by knight, that'll be checkmate

[hallow isle]

the only valid move is for the king to go to F8, then the queen goes to H8 and it's trapped - no moves

[lime sand]

Wait no, king move f8

[hallow isle]

it's mate in 1

[lime sand]

Rip Bozo. These are surprisingly easier that Watch Dogs 2 chess puzzles

[night bobcat]

By any set of rules, that's the best one to make

[lime sand]

Needed checkmate in 1 move

Chess is hard. Lots of patterns to memorize

[near jacinth]

my password is burned😭💀

[lime sand]

Try again!

[near jacinth]

nah bro i give up

[lime sand]

You'll never get a strong password at this rate

[primal kelp]

whats guarding the knight on f6

[near jacinth]

bro i dont want to break my table

[primal kelp]

im still confused as to why you cant take the knight as king when qh7+

[lime sand]

Nothing that I saw. We were all suggesting moving the queen

[primal kelp]

yes ik

i meant after the check

[lime sand]

It's not in an L format. Need a 2 space then one over

[night bobcat]

Ok, if your king is allowed to take pieces, it takes that

Then the queen takes the pawn below

[lime sand]

It's just a 1 space, 1 over. Knight can't take

[night bobcat]

Then the king can only move forward, and the queen takes the other pawn

Checkmate

[primal kelp]

wait its not an l what chess is this

[lime sand]

Not even. Queen moves, king takes knight, Queen takes pawn to check king. OR pawn takes pawn, moving Rook and threatening king

[primal kelp]

yeah thats what i meant you cant mate in 1 move

[lime sand]

It's a check at best

Definitely not like Watch Dogs 2

[night bobcat]

It's the best move

Dunno what to tell ya

[lime sand]

Oh yeah, it is the most sound move to make

[hallow isle]

How are people this shit at chess

The king can't take the knight

Look at the bottom of the board

[lime sand]

Hey,

I noticed

[primal kelp]

the rook behind the pawn?

[night bobcat]

Yes

That whole spot is a trap

Which your Queen walks the king into

[lime sand]

Whoever pinned the king in there is a beast

[primal kelp]

oh i see now

[lime sand]

Or a series of terrible mistakes

[hallow isle]

Pawn captures pawn, it's still mate in 1 however you look at it

[primal kelp]

yeah i see now

i forgot about the pawn after

yeah thats a mate

[lime sand]

Buncha gambits in here

[hallow isle]

Everyone forgets about the pawn

The piece with the most potential

i guess your main setup is the mac one, where the mid-2011 is on that picture ?

All of the old machines are fully functional, and yea since OS X landed, I've been a Mac guy for all but games.

And I only built the PC to play NMS. I'd been using the Mac and then consoles took it over for gaming when the PS4 landed.

Granted that was just the first of 3 panos I did, with that old camera. The most recent was a modern digicam with Photoshop as the stitcher.

I actually have a QuickTime VR "movie" of that first pano -- but nothing will view it anymore on modern hardware!

An assembly programmer's paradise as far as the old machines lol
