[mint spear]

welp

[dry bison]

How can taco bell be haram? It's beef.

[mint spear]

thats the "other" bodily function i was talking bout

[lone gorge]

That’s what they want you to think

[mint spear]

the cow still has to be slaughtered in a nice clean area, in the name of allah

before its halal

[dry bison]

and I guess street meats are....

[mint spear]

uh

pakistan is an islamic republic, ergo all halal meat

not even close to true, but that's a nice imagination 😛

[mint spear]

what do you mean

[dry bison]

Exactly what I said. In pakistan not all of the meat is prepared according to islamic dietary laws.

[mint spear]

no offense

but

i just wanna know where u got this info

i wanna research it lol

[dry bison]

https://halalfreak.com/is-pakistani-food-halal/

[mint spear]

lmao

[dry bison]

Hell. You could look at the population of pakistan and deduct there's a very slim likelihood that they have all halal meat.

[mint spear]

its 96% muslim population though

idk man

these are steps for america

there are no special halal and nopn halal stores?

no certificates here either, no special menus

either way new topic ples

[dry bison]

Yeah lets ignore the PNAC 😛

I like taco bell once in a while, but it's not worth eating....

That is to say...it's stupid expensive for what you get.

[lone gorge]

You pay, to pay later 😂

[mint spear]

He's like wait a minute why is it so cold ?

[gusty crater]

I have ADHD medication prescribed in really high dosages, In summer Im pretty sure ive seen mosquitos active in daytime after I woke up with mosquito bites, like around noon even.
Maybe they are evolving, becoming more resilient

[gusty crater]

Medication in question is Methylphenidate, a stimulant like amphetamine

Thought of mosquitos getting hooked on my stimulant rich blood it kinda terrifying

[lime sand]

You're indirectly breeding a super strain of mosquitoes. High on meth

I wonder if that causes birth defects in the mosquitoes

[gusty crater]

I hope so

[lime sand]

Too bad nobody decided to research the question

[gusty crater]

We should eradicate the whole specie of mosquitos, There is the whole "ecosystem" argument but many species of them spread from other different regions and there are other lifeforms that can take their place in the food chain and don't spread diseases
Source: Some guy on Reddit
In truth I couldn't care less about their place in the ecosystem

[lime sand]

It's been in the works

[gusty crater]

yeah, Ive heard of methods in which modified mosquitos are breed in captivity and then when released deal a huge blow to ther wild population

[lime sand]

Some scientists even argue Aedes aegypti fully urbanized and causes nothing but problems

[lime sand]

There is a new one i saw, using CRISPR to change the proboscus into the male variant, preventing feeding

It's FAR more cruel, and I think it should be like that.

[gusty crater]

oh the modification that makes so they cant penetrate human skin and it just bends? Thats in females, males are peaceful and feed on nectar iirc

[lime sand]

Yep

Only the female feed on humans bloods, from that species I've mentioned

For anyone who was active in #no-mans-sky earlier, i would like to apologize for what i said about Black History Month, it was foolish of me to say that. Where i am from, we are very uneducated on topics as such. I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been hurt by it, anyone who feels hatred towards me for it, and anyone who referred to me as a troll earlier. I am not a racist, and i never meant to give anyone the impression that i am.

They're saying if they were held accountable they would be a cheese pizza.

Not that they did something to a cheese pizza.

I think it's a way of saying they'd be 'cooked'

[dry bison]

Wouldn't you like to know.

Yes, I believe I've made that clear already 😂

He misses too, even with a new fam. It can't hurt to talk to him....unless he goes into a crazy spiral of depression missing you....I don't know if that's a thing dogs can do.

they show empathy, there have been studies

I was watching this video of people cleaning up yards in Vietnam. They were so excited to find money in the ground as they were working...

10,000 vietnamese dong.

I was thinking...How much is that...why are they so excited.

That's like 40 cents US

That's almost enough for a soup in Vietnam

[brisk jasper]

I’m not sure what’s more impressive, that massive level of inflation or that you can buy soup for a little more than 39 cents USD

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Phaethon s Brood

Explanation: Based on its well-measured orbit, 3200 Phaethon (sounds like FAY-eh-thon) is recognized as the source of the meteoroid stream responsible for the annual Geminid meteor shower. Even though most meteor shower parents are comets, 3200 Phaethon is a known and closely tracked near-Earth asteroid with a 1.4 year orbital period. Rocky and sun-baked, its perihelion or closest approach to the Sun is well within the orbit of innermost planet Mercury. In this telescopic field of view, the asteroid's rapid motion against faint background stars of the heroic constellation Perseus left a short trail during the two minute total exposure time. The (faint) parallel streaks of its meteoric children flashed much more quickly across the scene. The family portrait was recorded near the Geminid meteor shower's very active peak on 2017 December 13. That was just three days before 3200 Phaethon's historic close approach to planet Earth. This year, the night of December 13 should again see the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, but faint meteors will be washed out by the bright light of the nearly full moon.

My immune system beat COVID so bad it escaped to Russia. Been thinking about a joke all night lol

[lone gorge]

You didn’t beat Covid, Covid caught forseti 😂

[cursive agate]

When the cells start speaking in Forseti

[lone gorge]

Cells with an actual KD ratio

[brisk jasper]

Viruses aren’t even technically alive, so being able to scare one is quite the achievement

[cursive agate]

Maybe I should tech them to play cod or halo

[glossy vale]

master chief just chilling there

[brisk jasper]

he's wondering where he can get himself some of that armor

[tardy juniper]

I disagree, he's wondering why the armor is so clunky and inefficient

bigger armor = bigger target

[glossy vale]

bigger armor = bigger armor

[brisk jasper]

that only applies if the armor isn't tougher than that of a main battle tank

[glossy vale]

you can be as big as you want if the enemy can't scratch your armor

[brisk jasper]

not to mention that even unarmored space marines are absurdly durable

[glossy vale]

aren't space marines like 11 feet tall already?

[brisk jasper]

they can be

[glossy vale]

how do you fit that inside a halo suit

[brisk jasper]

they are also genetically augmented, their wounds scar almost immediately, lost limbs are a minor annoyance, they have two hearts and three lungs and their ribcage is a reinforced solid chunk of bone

[glossy vale]

also

dreadnoughts exist

so being crippled wouldn't immediately ruin your career

[brisk jasper]

dreadnoughts are essentially basically dead people piloting giant coffins with miniguns

[glossy vale]

giant armored and weaponized coffins

even churches are more well armored than master chief with imperator class titans

[brisk jasper]

Titans are peak WH40k

[glossy vale]

imagine getting stomped flat by a walking church

[brisk jasper]

they embody the phrase "excessive force"

They have shields that are nearly impenetrable to anything that isn't another titan, along with giant guns that can wipe out entire armies with minimal effort

[glossy vale]

Halo Flood + warhammer 40k would be hilarious

they already have gigantic mutating insects how much worse could it get

[brisk jasper]

The Imperium would struggle with the Flood, given that much of their military force consists of squishy humans who aren't told what end the lasers come out of. The Necrons would just chill, given that they don't have any biomass to infect. The Tau would go 'poof', and I shudder to think about what a Flood-controlled Ork would look like

[glossy vale]

I'd kill to see a flood-controlled titan

[tardy juniper]

ypur argument is irrelevant, I have cinnamon rolls

[glossy vale]

everyone else knows about the Ork psychic power thing right?

[brisk jasper]

you argument is invalid, you spelt 'your' with a p

[glossy vale]

if the flood were to control an Ork they'd also have that knowledge available since it's a hivemind

[brisk jasper]

Here's the funny thing: Orks don't know that they can do that

[glossy vale]

exactly

[brisk jasper]

it works because they're so comically stupid

[glossy vale]

a flood controlled ork would just be that except they have full knowledge of the power

[brisk jasper]

everything they believe in, they truly believe in because they don't know better

[glossy vale]

if a single person that knows what the orks can do gets infected the entire hivemind now has that information

[kindred panther]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/mpg-321urx-qd-oled just bit the bullet on this monitor

Playing NMS on this will be.. something x3

[glossy vale]

so all they'd need is an ork and someone that has that knowledge and they basically win

[brisk jasper]

I actually don't think anyone else really knows that

and it only really works if it's a lot of Orks believing in something

[glossy vale]

that could be the case but imagine an ork hivemind

[brisk jasper]

They pretty much already are a hivemind

They have one goal: violence

[glossy vale]

I don't get how a flood-infected ork would be more terrifying than they already are

they can already spread like crazy and they basically don't die

[brisk jasper]

Aren't the infected lifeforms extremely durable?

[glossy vale]

so are the orks lmao

[brisk jasper]

You can kill an Ork with a lasgun, but you have to have good aim

[glossy vale]

Orks are basically the warhammer equivalent of the Flood

The only way to get rid of them off of the surface of a planet would be to destroy the planet

[brisk jasper]

They can be fended off

[glossy vale]

I don't think they're durable, they just mutate iirc

[dusty magnet]

almost game awards time 😎

[glossy vale]

But to be fair I haven't given a shit about Halo lore in nearly a decade

[brisk jasper]

That's because a good chunk of Halo fans don't consider some of the more recent games as canon

[dusty magnet]

AYO HALO WAS MENTIONED??

[glossy vale]

We're thinking about how terrifying a flood controlled ork would be

[brisk jasper]

I'd imagine the main threat of a horde of Flood controlled Orks is the fact that they'd actually be capable of some tactical thinking

[glossy vale]

Also wouldn't they mutate like crazy?

Imagine a mutated ork

[brisk jasper]

they would probably be harder to put down with small arms fire

[glossy vale]

They'd basically be orks but smart

[brisk jasper]

yes, which would be terrifying

[glossy vale]

Flood controlled tyranids would be horrifying

[brisk jasper]

I don't think that would really work

[glossy vale]

Basically tyranids but a whole lot fleshier

[dusty magnet]

it would definitely work, but arent they sorta the same thing?

[glossy vale]

Tyranids aren't hiveminds

Or they are, idk

[brisk jasper]

Tyranids are already fully controlled by a hivemind, one that can exert significantly more control on it's drones and those nearby

Tyranids can use psychic mind-fuckery to disrupt enemies

[glossy vale]

So the flood would basically just make them slightly more resilient

[brisk jasper]

Even then the Tyranid hivemind could probably still control infected drones to an extent

[glossy vale]

That wouldn't be nearly as entertaining as the orks

[brisk jasper]

No, it really wouldn't

[glossy vale]

I would definitely love to see a flood controlled space marine but the orks are definitelly more fun

[brisk jasper]

The main issue is that most of the actually threatening things in WH40k are resiliant to mind control in some way

even space marines can be very difficult to directly control

[glossy vale]

Is the flood based on mind control?

I thought it was some nervous system based BS

[dusty magnet]

the flood is just biomass with a conscience

[brisk jasper]

I think they can control their hosts in the early stages of infection

[glossy vale]

Yeah but not with mind control I don't think

Probably some convoluted explanation that I can't bother to actually look up

[dusty magnet]

correct, it takes over the nervous system

if there is one

[glossy vale]

space marines definitely have nervous systems

[dusty magnet]

theyre basically a hive mind conrtolled by a gravemind

https://tenor.com/view/slither-halo-gravemind-video-game-gif-17762286

this guy

hes a gravemind

[glossy vale]

are the imperator class titans controlled by someone like the dreadnought? or is it more like a drone?

[brisk jasper]

They are controlled by a small crew, usually noblemen

[glossy vale]

so they can be infected

that would be terrifying

[dusty magnet]

flood controlled titan lmfao

no thanks

[brisk jasper]

They can, but I think most of the other titans would recognize the fact that their buddies started shooting at them instead of the enemies

[glossy vale]

since they're basically hulking churches they'd also probably carry more flood-controlled individuals

[brisk jasper]

They look like churches, but I do not believe they are actual churches

It's a bit funky what the actual scale of titans are

[glossy vale]

they're basically walking buildings, no????

[brisk jasper]

Okay, that is an actual church on their back lol

[glossy vale]

it would basically be a giant apc

[brisk jasper]

I had too much faith in 40k using logic, the structure on the back of the Imperator class titan is frequently used as a church by the crew

[glossy vale]

it could just carry more infected individualss

[brisk jasper]

It could, yes

usually imperator class titans have servitors and techpriests to serve as maintenance staff

[glossy vale]

a massive personnel carrier

[glossy vale]

aren't those fully robotic?

the flood wouldn't be able to do much about that

[brisk jasper]

no, they are still at least partially human

[glossy vale]

not to mention the fact the flood could definitely infect most gods out there

[brisk jasper]

although servitors are usually lobotomized

[dry bison]

So ....store clerks?

[glossy vale]

that wouldn't change much I don't think

[glossy vale]

yeah basically

[brisk jasper]

Not sure what stores you go to, but if that comparison works, sure

[glossy vale]

flood infected khorne

which one of the gods would be the best while infected by the flood?

Astronomy Pic of the Day: M51: Tidal Streams and H-alpha Ciffs

Explanation: An intriguing pair of interacting galaxies, M51 is the 51st entry in Charles Messier's famous catalog. Perhaps the original spiral nebula, the large galaxy with whirlpool-like spiral structure seen nearly face-on is also cataloged as NGC 5194. Its spiral arms and dust lanes sweep in front of its smaller companion galaxy, NGC 5195. Some 31 million light-years distant, within the boundaries of the well-trained constellation Canes Venatici, M51 looks faint and fuzzy to the eye in direct telescopic views. But this remarkably deep image shows off stunning details of the galaxy pair's striking colors and fainter tidal streams. The image includes extensive narrowband data to highlight a vast reddish cloud of ionized hydrogen gas recently discovered in the M51 system and known to some as the H-alpha cliffs. Foreground dust clouds in the Milky Way and distant background galaxies are captured in the wide-field view. A continuing collaboration of astro-imagers using telescopes on planet Earth assembled over 3 weeks of exposure time to create this evolving portrait of M51.

▶ Play video

In this market I'm surprised anyone even wants a publisher

[agile bramble]

Are publishers even necessary on the digital market?
To my understanding they help with marketing and distribution

[smoky creek]

that's interesting. Isn't this the first time that HG is publisher for a game that is not theirs?

[dry bison]

Publishers help fund the project, market, arrange distribution networks, set up collaborations with other studios...but a lot of indie studios if they didn't need extra funding and had all their ducks in a row wouldn't necessarily need a publisher to do any of that.

[dry bison]

I wouldn't be surprised. Sean must really believe in what they're doing and didn't want them to fall apart.

[smoky creek]

yep

also, because publishers, as you said, help funding the market, and considering that HG is not bad at marketing (the Light No Fire trailer created a lof of hype), i believe it will be pretty beneficial for the game

[dry bison]

Never rise to the top by walking on others. If you trip they will drag you down. If you help them on your way and you trip however - They will hold you up.

[smoky creek]

makes sense

Tbh, anything that helps HG financially is well acclaimed by me. More fundings for their games

[dry bison]

I'm hoping Stage Fright ends up having some really crazy co-op opportunities, like not just co-op with friends

Meet strangers in co-op

[agile bramble]

Then there are (at least one) publishers that might do a dick move, and decide to screw a studio over. Try and steal the IP using legal jargon.

[dry bison]

It would be like Journey, but in a new theme

[agile bramble]

It happened to Frogwares, devs of Sherlock Holmes games

[opaque tartan]

Not to mention contractors

[dry bison]

It pays as a publisher to have multiple studios networked with and industry professionals to tap for specialized assistance

[opaque tartan]

Even for Indies

Just hire someone when you need them for submission

And it depends on how much QA you want done too

It'll get released but it may have some pretty bad bugs in there

[tender marlin]

I made more music things chat. This is prolly my worst one but eh

[lone gorge]

im tellin ya, if you can figure out Fruity loops, i can imagine GarageBand, would be an easy pickup to learn for you.
I do not understand how to use FL studio whatsoever and got it just to try so, for what you do make, its miles ahead of anything i know how to do on it

garageband is practically just stitching samples together.

[tardy juniper]

it can be

[tender marlin]

GarageBand gave me issues with the type of music I wanted to make. Also fl is for making like “actual” music.. not music from samples that most underground SoundCloud artists use 😅
But I used to do that !

Not to hate on GarageBand or you or anything, but I just think personally stitching GarageBands prebuilt samples together and making songs that way takes a bit less skill.. tho there are some skillful things you can do in it and some people do, but sampling is not rlly that hard, and also has a huge chance to already have existing beats that are copyrighted with those samples you can use

[lone gorge]

garage band is royalty free copyright free

[tender marlin]

Have you ever made a beat and then used a song finding software to try to find the song of the best you’re making?

I’ve posted tons of garage band made songs to my SoundCloud, and have done that to my own songs and found that similar songs to the ones I made with those samples existed

So that’s why i bought fl mobile

So I could avoid making songs that people have already made

I initially sucked super bad, but I’ve improved a lot I feel after learning how to use certain parts of the software

Like here’s something I made 2-3 years ago

It’s loud

I also made this years ago, but I lost it, and never knew what to do with it, but I really liked the chords

I also do not know how to remake it

I wish I did

[tardy juniper]

Garage band also gives pretty good facilities for making your own samples and splicing other recorded material

It’s not GBs fault that most people are lazy fucks and only use the RF samples spoon fed to them

Is a tender loin

[night bobcat]

A cut of meat

[tardy juniper]

A specific portion of the T-bone steak.

But I’m sure the intarwebz know more

Would sapient aquatic creatures develop tea or other analogs?

[brisk jasper]

the issue with sapient aquatic creatures is that they have no way to create fire

On the plus side, that should be moist af...On the minus side, I fear the salt

I know some people are more into salt than me

Did you stuff it with stuffing?

Bacon crumble stuffed bacon wrapped pork tenderloin

Pork the porked pork

[spiral zephyr]

not stuffed, just some spice dry rub on the pork before I trussed it up

Slow smoked with indirect heat

[dry bison]

The best part of making a big tenderloin is that smell as it's cooking...Makes your mouth water.

Even if not hungry

[spiral zephyr]

esp with all that bacon lol

[dry bison]

What cut of a pig is this?

It's a rib but where is all that meat from?

I like rib meat

[spiral zephyr]

rib roast
It's part of the tenderloin with the ribs still attached

aka a "rack"

really good with an herb crust

[dry bison]

I wonder how many people 1 pig can feed.

I'm thinkin at least 30

Assuming all the cuts are used

shoulders, butt, ribs, loin, ribeye, roasts, ham, hocks, trotter, etc

When I was little, the family would buy a whole pig and get it cut into various cuts, put it all in the deep freeze

For $300, we'd have meat for pretty much the whole winter.

[spiral zephyr]

Yeah pigs are efficient in that way

[tender marlin]

No meat can ever dream of beating fried chicken tho

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Apollo 17 s Moonship

Explanation: Awkward and angular looking, Apollo 17's lunar module Challenger was designed for flight in the near vacuum of space. Digitally enhanced and reprocessed, this picture taken from Apollo 17's command module America shows Challenger's ascent stage in lunar orbit. Small reaction control thrusters are at the sides of the moonship with the bell of the ascent rocket engine underneath. The hatch allowing access to the lunar surface is seen at the front, with a round radar antenna at the top. Mission commander Gene Cernan is clearly visible through the triangular window. This spaceship performed gracefully, landing on the Moon and returning the Apollo astronauts to the orbiting command module in December of 1972. So where is Challenger now? Its descent stage remains at the Apollo 17 landing site in the Taurus-Littrow valley. The ascent stage pictured was intentionally crashed nearby after being jettisoned from the command module prior to the astronauts' return to planet Earth.

A continuing collaboration of astro-imagers using telescopes on planet Earth assembled over 3 weeks of exposure time to create this evolving portrait of M51.

So, there is this sweet treat of a sorts, called Turkish Delight. I get that it's a type of a candy, but what's this correlation of it being related to a total betrayal of your family?

I seen numerous video recipes of that particular treat. And they always relate it to betraying ones own family. I don't know what more I can add to it. My brain is like a busted down Sentinel Autophashe bot after it has wrecked the interceptor ship that it was piloting.

[silent wagon]

Narnia

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe in particular

[harsh palm]

Brains recognizers are searching for anything on it in the confines of my mind.

[silent wagon]

Edmund betrays his entire family to the White Witch because she offers him Turkish Delight, lol

[harsh palm]

I just found the video segment. What a way to short sell yourself and your family out.

That's me talking to that boy that you have identified as Edmund.

[silent wagon]

You've never read the books/watched the movies?

[opaque tartan]

Good ol' Christian children's novels

[sterile tartan]

Ahhh
Clive Staples Lewis

[opaque tartan]

Clive

[sterile tartan]

Yep

[opaque tartan]

That would have been perfect for our list of old man names

[sterile tartan]

It would yes

I can't think of any other Clives besides C.S. though
I know it's a name in general. Just dunno anyone

[opaque tartan]

And the dude from FFXVI

[sterile tartan]

Oh right

Idk anyone from FFXVI tho

[tender marlin]

Hi chat

I have all these magic cards

I wish I could trade them for more warhammer minis

But I don’t even know how I’d do that

[potent arch]

Trade in for store credit at your local game store

[keen gate]

If anyone is interested, the South Korean President was just impeached (a week later than it should have been). Prime Minister will now be acting President, but the PM is possibly facing impeachment for helping with the insurrection as well, so he might not be in that position for long

Next, the Constitutional Court has 6 months to make a ruling on the impeachment. They need 6 of 9 votes on the court to convict on the impeachment, but 3 of the seats are empty currently, so only 6 justices are sitting. Very likely will be at least 2 months before anything comes from the Constitution Court

[ashen thunder]

Does anyone play this game VR? I just bought it today and wanna find people

What a whiplash of an update

[tender marlin]

I can’t sleeep

I ate a hot pocket and it’s giving me damage over time irl

Infecting my body with its foul toxins

[tender marlin]

Or bo6

[keen gate]

That's Korean politics the past two weeks! Honestly, it's usually pretty tame

[lime sand]

I wasn't expecting prospecting dictators on both sides of the DMZ though

[keen gate]

South Korea has only been truly democratic since the late 1980s. Before that was mostly dictators, most of those miltary dictators

[opaque tartan]

People think because StarCraft and K Pop are popular that there's nothing bad

[jovial patio]

Does someone know a game I can test my PC with without having to download it?

[keen gate]

Those are both arguably linked to a military dictatorship's push for civilian control based on "the three Ses" from Japan: sports, screen, sex

During Park Chung Hee's time, they developed nationwide television broadcasting, pushed national sports leagues, and loosened regulations on pornography

[lone gorge]

sounds like what youre looking for is "Benchmark software" but thats quite literally something you have to download so doesnt help too much with what youre asking for

[tight pagoda]

i have news

i was going to keep it quiet until i had pictures, but im meeting my new service dog in January for team training. his name is Gabe

[keen gate]

Sounds awesome!

[maiden smelt]

Animation commentary: that is a fantastic use of character details

[tender marlin]

I hate being sick

I ate a hot pocket and it got me sick

[lone gorge]

Are you 100% certain it was the hot pocket? Haha

I usually blame the last thing I ate too

Sometimes I think it may of been the last person or people I interacted with, maybe they were carrying something or sick themselves.

[tender marlin]

Yea, cos every time I burp I can taste it, and it feels like it’s what is infecting me

It’s gross

Also my back is like in severe pain

It sucks

Was it pepperoni ? Sounds like indigestion 😂

Usually accompanied by heartburn lmao

[tender marlin]

Yes, but it’s not indigestion, cos it’s been going on all day

[lone gorge]

Maybe it was old or something, rancid pepperoni lol

[dusty magnet]

Sharing this cause it never fails to blow my mind. This is the size comparison of an Airbus A320, and a Boeing 777. The A320 is the about the same size as a Boeing 737, which is what most domestic flights are in. The larger planes are usually used for transcontinental flights.

[lucid granite]

the 777 is massive

[glossy vale]

Chat I'm so mad

[lucid granite]

did you get fired?

[glossy vale]

I've been waiting a year for a game to update

They were going to rework an ability which I already owned

[lucid granite]

what game?

[glossy vale]

And they locked the new version behind a paywall

I'd have to pay nearly 200 BRL just to use the new version

[glossy vale]

Some stupid ass cash grab game on Roblox

[lucid granite]

LOL

[glossy vale]

I'd have to spend like 30 USD just to use the new version

[lucid granite]

thats an outrageous amount of money to spend on Roblox

[glossy vale]

Exactly

And it's discounted

Because I owned the old version of the ability

They turned the ability into a fucking token for a small discount

[dusty magnet]

Fun fact: the engine cowling on the 777 if roughly the same diameter at the fuselage of a 737

@night bobcat I did it. I said a real actual fun fact

[lucid granite]

no u didn't, those are made up words

[tardy juniper]

what actually qualifies as a dinosaur? does it have to be been believed to be some sort of amphibian/reptilian, or just any creature from that era?

[lucid granite]

cowling?? fuselage??? WIZARDS???

[glossy vale]

Definitely a way to ruin my week ngl, I'm going back to bed

[dusty magnet]

HOBBITS??

[lucid granite]

ELVES?????

[glossy vale]

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING????

[lone gorge]

CHICKENS ARE DINOS

[dusty magnet]

What the fuck is this

Discord why

[lone gorge]

Oh you’ve been hit by the reaction curse

You have to turn it off manually. It’s been getting enabled randomly to people

[dusty magnet]

How do I turn it off

Nvm found it

[lone gorge]

I’m not 100% sure but I’ve never gotten them and my setting look like this

Oh lmao ok good

Stupid discord experimental feature

[dusty magnet]

Stupid feature is stupid

[lone gorge]

The fact it just randomly pops on and enables for people is what I find funny 😂

[opaque tartan]

I am pure

[dusty magnet]

That's your main airline eh? Makes you feel at home

[opaque tartan]

I have actually flown on Virgin Atlantic

[dusty magnet]

How was it

[opaque tartan]

Well we were stuck in Florida on Christmas Day so they gave us loads of gifts

[dusty magnet]

Better than Frontier who abandoned us in Denver and said "good luck"

[opaque tartan]

Internal flights are shit

All of those airlines can get fucked tbh

They rinse people for nothing

Fr

Btw Nate did you watch the game awards?

[opaque tartan]

I can think of hundreds of better things to do with my time

[dusty magnet]

You don't like it?

[opaque tartan]

Fuck no

I can't stand award shows

[dusty magnet]

Fair

[opaque tartan]

Bro

That show is made for normies

[dusty magnet]

I enjoyed it 🤷

[opaque tartan]

I think I've used the word normies once or twice

But I hope you get me

[dusty magnet]

It's definitely cheesey. I think it's the best one they've done so far tho. There was a huge emphasis on developers and celebrating genuine creativity. Swen Vincke had a killer speech about not making games purely for profit. It was baller

[lucid granite]

Don’t forget Han Solo (old) being there

[dusty magnet]

I swear he looked drunk lmao

[opaque tartan]

So it was like film industry award shows then

No offense to people that like it

Hard pass for me

[dusty magnet]

Similar yeah

[lucid granite]

The muppets (old) were there too

[opaque tartan]

I don't even watch the BAFTAs or Golden Joysticks

[lucid granite]

They hated the show

[opaque tartan]

And I work on shit that gets nominated for them

[dusty magnet]

Which is hilarious cause I'm like 90% sure those jokes were written by Geoff

[opaque tartan]

It's just like, I'd rather go watch something or read a book

Or talk to friends

[lucid granite]

Go watch the game awards then!

[opaque tartan]

Because all that work keeps me away from them

[lucid granite]

Hi friends

[dusty magnet]

Sup homie

[opaque tartan]

True crime documentaries

[dusty magnet]

You watch arcane?

[opaque tartan]

Or politics

[lucid granite]

Now THAT sounds boring to me

To each their own fr

[opaque tartan]

Nah but I will check it out properly at some point

[lucid granite]

I’m hearing way too many good things about this show not to watch it

I gotta give it a view

[dusty magnet]

Dawg

[opaque tartan]

It's super boring but it's also informative and educational to a point

[dusty magnet]

I have a hard time putting into words how good arcane is

[lucid granite]

Yeah that’s fair, I don’t mind hearing about politics and watching the news sometimes but too much and i get annoyed. And crime stuff just is disturbing to me, so I’m good on that.

guess it depends what kind of crimes it’s covering

[lucid granite]

Noted, I’ll add it to The List

The List is actually like empty run

*rn

[dusty magnet]

Good

[lucid granite]

I’ve just been rewatching Doctor Who

[dusty magnet]

Little competition then

[lucid granite]

Dang good show right there

9-12 are amazing, 13 is kinda bleh, 14 was weird and 15 has been good so far

I can’t speak on 1-8

But 9-12 are peak television

That’s the point I was trying to make

Anyway, bed time

[dusty magnet]

It's bed time for me soon too but my dad said he's gonna make nachos

[silent wagon]

Easily one of my favorite shows of all time

[silent wagon]

Arcane and The Expanse are two shows I highly recommend

[dusty magnet]

I can't gush about it enough

[silent wagon]

Did you see Twenty One Pilots' song for it at The Game Awards?

[lone gorge]

Arcane is arguably a masterpiece

Side note: secret level for space marine was apperently taken really well too. More power for Henry!

[silent wagon]

It's a damn good episode

Secret Level is great in general, tho I really need whatever the hell drugs the Pac Man episode director was smoking 🤣
