I used to attend a bad movie night and I was the record holder for a time with it for causing half of the attendees to get fed up and walk out
I don’t think I’ll ever watch it a second time but once was awesome
potanooo
Thats alright because we have a cupboard half full of those cheap instant mashed tater packages
Electric scooter away
I don't know what it is but Hy-vee cottage bread lasts forever.. its been 2+ weeks and it is still good
good being, no visible mold at all and tastes fine

that reminds me of some whipped cream that seems to last forever on ice cream sundaes, super sus
like what is it, how is it not dissolving
are we sure that's safe to consume, lmao
but hey, bread's bread, so that's a different story
that bread that doesn’t mold does start to dry out though, especially in fridge
Wait nope not yet. Still needs about 10 minutes
Loved that film as a kid!
Indian in the Cupboard? I think it's called
Yeah
As a kid i made one out of cardboard because of the film
👌
Hex I feel your pain now. I can't comment!
Well actually NVM I can because we do have like collectables on a shelf
Does that count?
Those funko pop ones
And I collect stuffed animals
Guy at work has about £20,000 worth of those funko pops
Yeah always buying them, lists all the codes for them and ticks off what he's got
Take your shoes off before stepping onto it
Does anyone know how to clear the following things out of the carpet?
•cat fur
•a lot of dirt
•milk stain(s)
•acrylic yellow paint stain
•red Gatorade stain
•black paint stain
•pocket lint
With household items, of course
Please
Should I abandon it? Just buy a new carpet?
How long have the stains been there?
If it's been a while you could maybe try stain remover, but it will be tough.
At which level is #serious unlocked?
I believe level 10
Thank you
Yep np! I may be wrong though just fyi, I cannot remember exactly
I guess we'll see soon™, then. :)
AAAA
heyo, does anybody know how to add emojis on discord names?
I want to eat but I'm not hungry
Why does this happen to me
What did I put in the milkshake
how do you feel about drinking water?
@wintry sequoia https://emojipedia.org/
The emoji search engine. A fast emoji search experience with options to browse every emoji by name, category, or platform.
copy the emotes
heretic. if you hate water why did you drink that milkshake? its has water in it. checkmate ♟️
every time you swallow saliva there's probably some water in it
Lies. It's all
Milk
Ice cream
Ore- heyyyy, you're trying to get my recipe, arent you?
Pretty sure this doesn't look like it has water in it
i dont know my dude that milkshake seems sus. ice cream? did you know that ice is made from water
time to cancel nitro 😦
uhm i have never used nitro. any reason why your canceling it?
Anyone with Discord experience have any recommendations for a Discord addon/integration. I'm looking for a system where I can manually dish out points to people in my server for doing things and then once they've received a certain amount of points, they receive a role. I've done some googling and everything seems to have their limitations. Most seem to have xp based on just amount of messages sent, but I'm looking for something more manual. Like Hey Taco, but slightly more formal.
What the fuck is this
You're looking for a bot @jade blaze, not addons or integrations.
I'd rather not suggest anything that could violate Discord's ToS
Or have anyone suggest anything like that.
Could get you banned.

suggesting a bot to add to a server can get you banned? Why?
ah, I see. Sorry, I get the naming mixed up with what Slack calls them
I thought mee6 bot could do similar and was perfectly compliant with the ToS?
Oreo milkshake
Wait since when? Because I have it in my server and it lets me level and I don't pay for premium
Must be recent, if you used it before you still have it but can't edit it
I tried adding it to my friend's server, and we couldn't do it
"Role Reward Configuration (Premium)"
What the hell brain
My brain is being pissy
I was having a good day
Ok so basically you know how you sit around
And think
Yeah that part is premium but you can still do leveling
Yeah, but he was looking for rewards from doing stuff
My brain is reminding me of the most embarrassing fuckin moment of my life
which would incite the wrath of roles
ah
right, yea. The roles is ideal. Also isn't Mee6's xp/leaderboard just based on chat activity?
I'm looking for something a bit more manual
@safe path if u had mee6 from a while back it got grandfathered in
now u have to pay
I guess, could get hard to scale with 300+ memebers
Anything manual gets hard to scale with 300+ members
I doubt you'll find anything manual that can do roles like that.
idk how you could make it easier
without being automatic
true, I guess I need to refine what I'm looking for
The fact that my laptop's volume goes up by 2 every time I move it really puts me at peace.
I very much dislike that my desktop does that 😒
Because 6 is to soft, 8 is to loud at times
There's a large range that works for me.
The odds of Dr. Strange surviving the first 12 minutes of his movie is incredibly low, and very unrealistic.
You mean the crash?
Yeah I've seen some crashes that people shouldn't have lived through but they did. Lucky as fuck
But he fell off a cliff
did several flips during the fall
and crashed head first into a lake
Wizards are tough guys
he sure isn't a wizard at this point
Could almost argue that he is a warlock since he is bound to the the keeper of the time stone. So in essence, he is giving his soul to protect it, and in return he has magically ability that yes he did train for but now he has even more due to being the grand master
But that's all in the future.
At that point, the only reason he needed to be alive was because the bald lady knew he would be the best wizard
He is kinda a garbage person during this movie tho
Very toxic
I absolutely love the scene of him traveling through dimensions
FUCK it feels good to get off before 0030
What the fuck
Astronomy pic of the day
The Magnetic Field of the Whirlpool Galaxy
Explanation: Do magnetic fields always flow along spiral arms? Our face-on view of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) allows a spectacularly clear view of the spiral wave pattern in a disk-shaped galaxy. When observed with a radio telescope, the magnetic field appears to trace the arms' curvature. However, with NASA’s flying Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) observatory, the magnetic field at the outer edge of M51's disk appears to weave across the arms instead. Magnetic fields are inferred by grains of dust aligning in one direction and acting like polaroid glasses on infrared light. In the featured image, the field orientations determined from this polarized light are algorithmically connected, creating streamlines. Possibly the gravitational tug of the companion galaxy, at the top of the frame, on the dusty gas of the reddish star-forming regions, visible in the Hubble Space Telescope image, enhances turbulence -- stirring the dust and lines to produce the unexpected field pattern of the outer arms.
a coincidence/accident my ass
...An accident your ass?
shadow is hitting my toes for some reason
doubtful 😛
I'm dumb as a box of rocks but I'm awake and have google
ok ill ask anyway
there is a word for something, its used for when additional backup or security is needed for a system.
redundant
the backup might be overkill, but thats what defines the word
Redundant
two factor authentication
2FA
also a polite way of calling someone or something useless 🙂
I'm redundant
ive been struggling for an hour trying to remember that word
It happens
I was saying I'm redundant
I was made redundant once.
Redundant means uselessly repetitive, basically
They gave me a pile of money and told me never to go back
Oh I get it hahahah

that poor record deck
cat's adorable but fuck's sake I hope that vinyl was cheap
I'm so fucking baked what the shit
If you're high, you need to click this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqeMa5YRoe0
Mew spin mew might meow. Likes a record, sits meow meow
Oh god not parrygrip 😂
i thought that was @sterile tartan's cat for a moment, lol
xD
I may have spun Ryder and myself around once or twice before when not sober >.>
should I go for a bike ride?
like now?
yee
I dunno what to do, just suddenly losing the urge to do anythi---fucking depression god damnit
isn't it night wherever you are? lol
fucking damnit this is why I fucking hate roku tv's and the stupid amazon ones.
mm, then maybe? might help ya feel better
Every god damn one I owned always does this lag bullshit and restarts
i think they say a little physical movement can sometimes help with depression stuff
do all roku tvs also have shit wifi or is that just the one my folks have?
I dunno, all I know is I hate them because they constantly do the lag freeze bs
wait, Roku makes TVs? We have a little Roku receiver in the living room and that one doesn't have problems
maybe it's not roku that makes them, but integrates their stuff in them? 🤷♀️
oh that's just unfortunate
i just know the one my folks have has a really garbo wifi antenna
when did they start making bloatware for televisions
I have a warranty for it and I may go replace it because this is an ongoing issue it has been happening
oh man, you have lucked out so hard not getting a newer tv, lol
newer tvs are packed with weird af bloatware
thats why I like android based, aka sony tv's because you can remove a lot of the shit
But the Sony tv I want is like 600+
"smart" tvs aka let us cram random ass software on here and call it free channels or someshit
My bedroom tv is an LG 43" WebOS tv and I dislike WebOS because it is kinda slow
...well now I'm wondering how big the HDD is on that TV
and whether or not I can fit an actual OS on it
I think they use some low capacity flash storage but i dunno for sure
fair
Yeah they do,
I may be considering hacking a TV then xD
I'm pretty tv/display illiterate tbh
I know on some LG WebOS tv's, the OS itself is like a 1.5gb download, maybe it was the Sony.. idk but the usable space for you is normally 600MB or so
...wonder if there's a USB slot on those
and if so, can I get the TV to recognize an external drive
yeah most TV's have them now a days so you can firmware update
does it count as ancient if you get an av to hdmi adapter to keep running old hardware on modern displays, lol
Nah lots of people do it. Hell I did when I had my Sega Saturn
I just went for a 3km walk. It's nicer out at night, especially on a bike, because there's fewer cars to get in the way. Sounds like a good idea.
Thats what I miss about spring/summer time. Going for walks
I should look up some places to ride around here...
There's a park nearby, but only maybe a third of the trail is lit at night, so it's not great for nightowls, lol
I want a bike but I have no place to store it
I splurged a tiny bit and got a folding bike 'cause of that
Not one of the more expensive ones, mind, 'cause they can get stupid expensive
Just one that was probably around the same price as a standard bike
mine's a little $60 BMX with a barspin axle I'll never use lmao
I'm a sucker for trick bikes though, something about fixed gear...it's fun watching the radar speed limit sign say I'm going over 30 xD
Oh I only paid 30 for my bike used but it was like a 250$ bike new from what I found online
and junkies can have fun pulling mine off our balcony...on the third floor of our building lmao
In the midst of this evening news story, there's actual footage of the cowboy chasing a bicycle thief on a horse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsq_jZiB1_U
In a Walmart parking lot in Eagle Point, Oregon, 28-year-old cowboy Robert Borba stopped a would-be bike thief armed with little more than a lasso. Steve Hartman went "On The Road" to meet the the man who roped in a perpetrator.
"Operator: What?"
apologies for the format but it's worth it for seeing a bike thief lose
my hometown had really aggressive and intelligent bike thieves 😦
out of nowhere i just had an intense recollection of the smell of a new VHS cassette, lmao
Like omg Gmr. How did you just do that? You triggered a memory I thought didn't even exist in my brain 
I say out of nowhere, but it was watching an old movie trailer, which...Might have come out on VHS? 🤷♀️
Just how long did VHS keep going, anyway, lmao
Early 2000s
How was there even a recognizable odor for that? I'm so out of touch with old tech, I didn't remember there was a memorable odor association. Which is creeping me out.
Probably a plastic smell
It was like new games, so yeah, a plastic-ish smell
Peel away the cellophane, open the box, BIG PLASTIC WHIFFS
Oh, I know the scent. Hence why I'm creeped out.
I didn't remember it till you said it.
Sometimes I can stir up a memory of the scent of fire/burning/smoke, and it's almost like I conjure an olfactory hallucination of it
Which is simultaneously unnerving and satisfying, lmao
For the record, if you ever want to write and deliver a very memorable speech, bring up the sense of smell to your audience, associated to a topic matter. It'll be the most effective memorable piece.
'cause it's like, "that's a nice scent, wait is something really burning?"
I took a special course on public speaking as part of a Masters program. And that was one of the tips provided, among many others.
Sense of smell was the most memorable, after the other senses, apparently.
Or the most effective to stir your amygdala and create a more memorable point in what you say.
That's kind of curious. It'd be kinda hard with someone like me then, I guess, as my sense of smell is...Usually pretty weak. Like something has to be fairly strong for me to pick up on it.
So the affect goes both ways; the scent memory thing
Its the nature of how neurons connect to each other while forming memories
Associations and certain pathways becoming unused until you reactivate it with another memory
Its how a song makes you remember a certain place/time
I learned it in psychology 😊
Oh man I remember that movie xD
I used to have Aliens on VHS too
And Twister is here somewhere lol
@tropic folio look what you done. Now I am reinstalling the Witcher 3 x.x
honestly I'm kinda sad my little 2gb vRAM gpu is running it on low
I've seen screens that look insane from this game
but whatever, kinda expected I wouldn't run it on insane settings 😛
Ugh my internet is downloading it so slow
I have to plan ahead and downlaod games while I sleep+go to work 😓
Well I wasn't going to play but it just seems interesting again.
If I play it again I need to stop being over self challenging
I'm the worst about difficulty settings
I put it on second highest last time I think?
Yeah I do normal for the most part lol
I was still in my "punish me" attitude cuz I was hooked on the soulsborne series
I can't get into the Souls series. I tried and got to frustrated
Have to take death and failure as a game mechanic/learning experience
Otherwise it does get frustrating
Like with bosses try 1 I just dance around with it for an hour so I can learn all its moves
The moves and the tells
Ya, I've Clair play and I nope the hell out because even she gets frustrated and she is pretty good at the game
That's fine I also got kinda tired at dark souls 3
I mostly didnt like bosses that relied on ads (looking at dark souls 2)
The funniest part of the Souls series is it really is just a more fair approach to classic game design
'cause classic games be murderous 💀
Specifically the ones that were basically wimpy so they tossed mobs in to make it "harder" cuz it felt lazy
Like freija
ergh, bosses that have thrown in enemies alongside the boss are super annoying
Royal Rat Authority was also one
But both rat bosses were questionable in DKS2
The other one was just a mob of rats in a room and one has a Mohawk and you had to find it
tbh any encounter that's basically overwhelming numbers and they're not easy splat type enemies tends to be annoying
And then the procession in the church or whatever that were just regular human enemies and all died in 1 hit and usually never presented any challenge so its like "why is this a boss"
That reminds me of the enemy hunters in Bloodborne, not a fan of that part of the game
Albeit they did present a challenge
sweet it kept my save, level 22!
The red phantom thing was since dark souls 1 and are at least not considered bosses; though they were also avoidable in dark souls if you were in a human/corpse state (it flipped from 1 to 2)
🤔 I can't recall, have you also played Bloodborne?
Yeah
are we allowed to call admins cute?
I guess technically Maria and gasgcoine were hunter bosses but it was cool
I guess
Also you already did by asking I guess
good, my work is done here
I was thinking of the non-hunter bosses in uhh, what was it, Yahar'gul?
that's the best compliment I've received this week
How the fuck did I remember that
thank you @polar zealot
lmao
np Fluffy
ur both welcome
Fluffster, how far are you in game?
im bashful so ima head out, have a nice evening u all ❤️
Nah I get what you mean; my least favorite wss the chaingun guy on the tower because it was janky to fight up there
Yahar'gul is easily one of the roughest spots in Bloodborne for me 😬
cya later, lemon
Oof, yeah, chaingun guy was also whhhy
I was just saying I think it was placed for tradition because of red phantoms in dark souls
@safe path I assume still on the tutorial, given that the prompts keep popping up
I'm guessing I'll keep facetanking things until this stinkin' Griffin kills me
lol
Yeah, probs, I don't remember having as much trouble with the red phantoms in other Souls games tho
Ooh, you restarted the game? Or is this the first tiem?
I've legitimately never booted it up until an hour ago
Some of the ones in DkS2 were obnoxious
Oh speaking of griffins, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen's on sale on GOG if ya don't have it already
Like that jester guy who was basically a dps timer
"Kill me before I cast aoe fire storm in tiny room"
I haven't picked up DkS2 or 3 yet, since I've not gotten around to completing 1, lol
2 is troubled even tho I love it
I still have to get around to finishing Demon's Souls 👀
I own DkS3 because someone gifted it to me a while ago
...never booted that up either xD
But I'm talkin' old PS3 Demon's Souls
It's been so long there's already a remake, lmao 
Just got an email from my dad; more food and treats incoming haha
treats hype
noice, i've gotta do some food shop in a bit
quesadilla hype 😮
Souls game sequels follow the souls-like formula as well
What's the bonfire what's the crystal lizard etc etc
Demon's v. much shows its age insofar as fucking farming healing items
does anyone else pronounce it quesa-DILL-LA just to annoy others playfully?
gotta get dat grass
Non perma, non estus healing returns in DkS 2
I pronounce it "texmex pizza" much to my assistant manager's chagrin
They arbitrarily slow down estus drinking to encourage their use
I think I got a health regen ring in Demon's tho to somewhat offset the farming 
As you're forced to stop moving to chug
If memory serves it was of course tucked away in a fuckin' poison swamp
Oh yeah more swamps in the sequels too
3 has a lot of fanservice locations too "oh another place/reference from dark souls 1"
I thought it was a bit more clever in DkS2 just not fully realized
i should play DS, got to the 2 gargoyle things in the 1st and got stuck
Hinting that the lords souls remained throughout history
Because you can find a few with cryptic descriptions of ancient history as if thousands of years had passed since the first game
Probably a relic of the games original design and story
I just usually forget I'm playing something tbh
Then I'm like "I forgot how to play"
"Idk where I was or what I was doing"
Yeah thats what I am running into
I'm like OOH THIS ARMOR.
Then find out I gotta be level 24 to get the quest to get a blacksmith to make it
I thought I'd forget everything with shadow of mordor but I didn't
I have a better memory than I think sometimes
I haven't played that in forever, so fun
It also didn't take super long to get my wings back in Elite and that's pretty complicated control-wise
I may see about getting the game when we get our taxes back
I will bonk all the things in ED
Don't bonk the neutron star 
First time I played Elite I clipped my wing on an antenna and somehow it hooked me and spun me back at the station; then I FSD out of the area and got interdicted and attacked by Jebediah Kerman from KSP (yes the pilots name was Jebediah Kerman)
if it exists, it will be bonked
I'm also just not that good at ED
but I didn't really get my feet wet, might be time to try again 😛
I fly in mostly open space now so its easy
Took me around 20 hours of playtime to realize I can use FSD to leave a planet atmosphere.
I was slow flying out in to space.
Oh god
Yeah
that sounds like an oof
I bet you'll have to clear atmosphere to FSD in Odyssey
I'm quite excited for Odyssey.
Same
Shame it got delayed for console
So long as it works when it comes out though. That's all that matters
Hmm just realized W3, some of the stuff I've done before basically didn't happen
Aw hell main sent me on a retro adventure with Lego
This is like one of the first I ever owned 😭
I should build some of these in my spare time with LDD its relaxing
enjoy the money pit, LEGO got expensive
LDD is free
The first time I flew a big ship in ED was also the first time I had to rebuy a ship in ED
oh
The third-person view of my slot-stuck ship being blown up was cool though
It doesnt have all the pieces all the time tho
LDD?
Biggest ship ive flown is the Krait
Lego Digital Designer
Was a free program they released ages ago
I built a lot of old sets in it for fun
Theoretically you could probably make the new star destroyer in there
I think the first one I ever had was Boba Fett's ship
Sleep well ❤️
Have a good one
This was my absolute first Lego set at 4 years old :3
Must of been amazing
Even now my imagined way it looks and the way it actually looks dont match up XD
Thought it was much more fancy and foresty
Ha yeah we all did that
Odd.. idk what keeps doing it but I get random beeping that happens
Hm?
I still have all these physically, just dismantled and stored away
Thought of rebuilding them?
Maybe if I get a place with a room to display all of my nerd shit
EBay saying it goes for $300 preowned haha damn
Collectors 😔
Hm.
Better to wait longer for the collectors
You could always build just one, place it on your desk or something
you know how people say that germans are always on time?
those people clearly never used public transport in Germany
I haven't ever heard that actually
it's a stereotype
like the stereotype that we all drink beer and wear leather shorts
Ive done those things and I'm only 1/3rd or so
i haven't, i mean i drank beer, but i don't enjoy it
But yeah I am quite aware of stereotypes as a girl who studied astrophysics and works in nuclear regulation 😛
no idea what stereotypes are connected to that
Sexist ones
Yeah its atrocious here too
this train was over 10 min late, that means in the time i waited i could have walked to my destination
and would have been faster
I can't remember what the time limit was in Japan for public apology
probably like 1min or something
Yeah it was tiny
man i am looking at the screen that says the train times and one train is already announced 20min late, good thing i don't need to take that one
Been told to review airborne procedures and I started reading like "oh yeah I have this memorized"
😔
I think they're actually doing it wrong tho 
Damn I knew Japan had an amazing train system but 1m and they issue a public apology?
I think it's 3m but probably wrong
Is there any way to do feature requests?
For what, Ricardo?

Nah the actual story was apologizing for leaving 20 seconds early; at least looking it up
Thx
"Average delay of Japanese trains is under 1 min. Trains run by major Japanese railway operator, JR Group, face an average delay of under a minute, with the Shinkansen bullet train facing an average annual delay of 20 seconds. Other trains get delayed by approximately 50 seconds on average."
Holy hell, that is amazing
Yeah the shinkansen specifically is a huge deal there
They do a big ceremony to retire them n stuff
Those are the super fast cross country ones
The bullet trains?
Yeah ~200mph
Damn that sounds like it would be fun to ride
i now wonder if msA worked at fukushima and secretly has superpowers now 👀
I guess this is a pretty accurate representation of what Saturn would look like if it was the same distance to us as the moon is
I dunno about you but I think that would be fricken cool
I love that image
That'd be neat to see
A different artist did one of Jupiter too
i don't like that one as much

Iirc I seen them in Toronto
I saw them one time
can anybody here help me with fps issues im having?
On No Man's Sky?
no
Just on your computer in general?
for mincraft curse forge
ah
its extremely stuttery
does your FPS start out ok then gets worse over time?
A good way to help that would be to add OptiFine into it
Oh wait stuttery
I know exactly how to fix this
no from the launcher itself even
when it loads the mods its very stuttery
and in game when crating a world
i have very good pc
oh right, hopefully n has the answerr
Ok, so before launching the game, you need to go into the profile on the launcher, and change a specific setting
i set it to more but it doesnt work
What did u set it to?
G?
yes

Alright, well, best I can do is say add OptiFine into the modpack.
It could at least help
Idk what is causing the stuttering
I have a GTX 1050 and can run modpacks semi-decently
You should have no problem
exactly
Unless Minecraft is using your cpu rather than gpu
Gotta be one of the mods causing the issue I suspect
fine for other people
I'm not sure how well this works for modpacks, cause it opens a different kind of javascript with every different modpack, but open your NVIDIA settings.
ok
er, NVIDIA Control Panel
yes
on the left, press Manage 3D settings
Then on that menu, press Program Settings
Then you should be able to press Add and look for the Minecraft thingamajig
(not the launcher)
you don't see a java script program?
its since it changed to curse forge instead of twitch this stuttering happenss
before it was fine
I'm sorry, i would try to help more, but I'm doing school rn and am running low on time, so I gtg.
np thanks
My eyes hurt from being up x.x
Well put them down @safe path
Me rn
I use multimcc to load my minecraft instances and allocate 20gb of ram to it
Yeah, but I also have to drive on the road for the first time ever (not for the test)
So there's a lot to be nervous about
Plus I haven't even finished the final homework that I need to turn in
Not because I procrastinated, it's due today.
We got it on Monday
and I haven't had time
3 days after i got my license i got in a car wreck with two friends in the car
no pressure
oh also i was driving my aunt's car
Morning 
Morning
I lasted a month with my first vehicle before I totaled it... Bad tires. Hydroplaned and hit another vehicle...only wreck I was ever in though.
oof
Yup
Wow, I feel so much better about this now
sarcasm
also have a slight stomach ache and am frickin freezing... idk what that's about
anxiety can draw blood away from the extremities, which lowers their temperature
but tbh I'm not that worried about it. My biggest worry, weirdly enough, is what to do if I need to go to the bathroom while driving for 3 hours.
The European Commission has fined Valve, owner of the online PC gaming platform “Steam”, and the five publishers Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media and ZeniMax € 7.8 million for breaching EU antitrust rules.
😂
idk if they will be chances to stop for a bathroom break
Good!
What law did they break?
cross-region games distribution
you can read the full article here
Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: “More than 50% of all Europeans play video games. The videogame industry in Europe is thriving and it is now worth over € 17 billion. Today's sanctions against the “geo-blocking” practices of Valve and five PC video game publishers serve as a reminder that under EU competition law, companies are prohibited from contractually restricting cross-border sales. Such practices deprive European consumers of the benefits of the EU Digital Single Market and of the opportunity to shop around for the most suitable offer in the EU”.
they have been fined for their "region restricted" games, I'm sure you have seen one
America: "we can play this game, Europe cannot, hahahaha"
that's illegal
I don't think they care THAT much
no, it's only 7.8 million
yeah
Does he still own Valve?
I mean, I'm sure he does, but is he still like running it and everything?
That is understandable, lol
i didn't even know that was illegal

hard to tell if someone going 40 miles per hour is nice
If you know which bear suit Im speaking of, its VERY armor
balls.
today's episode of computerman is brought to you by measurements and emails
Is a 5k miliamp battery enough for a phone?
... my drive just got cancelled for today... guess I'm not driving.
Cause mine runs out in at most an hour of sleep mode which .... Doesn't seem right
And I have to charge it like 8 times per day
Oooh! That sounds so fun! Lol Just please be careful. Make sure to have a backup plan in case of an emergency. 🙏 And I hope you tell us what happens when you get back! 
We'll be safe! It'll just be a small adventure. My friend told us he'd pick us up if we need it
In case we get lost or something
Plus we won't be leaving cell service range
Love it!
Pictures or video clips if anything cool or silly happens? I so wanna hear about the adventure afterwards. Mannn, I kinda wish I can be part of it lol
You ever have a boss so impressed with their own voice, they can talk to you for 2 hours and never know your not there?
Wait what?

@dusty magnet a hotdog but instead of a frank it's a pickle

My boss just talks, to talk
She wants to be famous, shes not
Been that way for decades
Think trumpian
David Brent
I have a relative like that. And to make it worse everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie.
man I want to make a comment but I really don't want to come of as rude and disrespectful to a certain group so I'm just gonna forget it
Well shes related too
So that doesnt help.
A lot of what she is conceptually capable of understanding is useful. However she constantly throws her own progress under the bus for her own ego
Its.. difficult.

I just realized

that's an AC character, isn't it?
Yes
A lot of my emotes are from the AC server
I love them.
I'm surprised you recognized that character.
tbh I'd play ACNH if it let me have a different island than my sister's
absolute bullshit that it's 1 island per console
I thought you lived alone
I do, but I share my switch with my sister
You need to get your own. 
I'm waiting for a new switch model to drop
that's what i'm gonna do now, V1
like 90% of my usage of the switch is on my couch
honestly wouldn't mind paying for a permanently docked switch if it meant more processing power
I hardly ever use mine as a handheld.
Bee Wary!
I love switch, only for breath of the wild though
I have NO clue how many hours Ive played lol
REEEEE
that is very loud
Righteous Protector Bee?
Sounds stressful.
Gunna go visit my grandparents in New Hampshire :D
The Master Mode version of it is the only way to play 
but now that I've got it back I can finish it
I need to address a pretty major issue with the switch before I can really do much portable stuff on it tho
the joycons drift
badly
I suffer from that.
I have two joycon sets. Both drift.
So now I use the Reg controller.
fuckers drift harder than an Initial D scene
I'm gonna look into getting them sent off for repairs/replacements but I'll likely end up getting an additional set regardless
Nintendo refuse to acknowledge that it's a problem.
I could try myself but I honestly can't be bothered to try
this along with other problems has made it really hard for me to like nintendo as of late tbh
Y'all ever pop a pimple?
What's weird is that our Switch has the issue but my children have Switch Lites and they do not have the problem.
I popped 2 pimples on my face like an hour ago
Oh exciting. 
I get them too, just not normally on my face
Blackheads are my favorite.
oddly enough I get them mostly on my shoulders
been trying to remedy that for years now
deep scrubbing with special soaps are the only thing that does it
My right thigh for me.
Be kind to a friend who enjoys popping. Let them take care of it. 
Y'all ever visit the subreddit? It's cursed yet weirdly fascinating.
I hate it.
blackhead vids are way more tolerable
cause it's not like, a bunch of gross yellow goo
🤮
don't know how people watch it
idk why people would watch such a thing
i actually find it really satisfying but i couldn't tell you why
i don't seek them out though
I'll pop them on my face to get rid of it.
If you pick up a can of contact cleaner, it can help fix the issue

hello and goodbye red
I think it's fantastic.
that's the best baby gif
I was a bit iffy on it being so easy but... I figured what the hell
I would also highly recommend one of these if you have a headboard or something https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07SDFFHSW
That is the exact model I have and.... it's no longer available. Crap
But it's there for you yanks soon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SDFFHSW
Personally, I love being able to lay in bed and have a joycon in each hand without needing to have them close together
Yo wtf. That's genius.
I also didn't know I needed that until just now.
😄
It is soooo much better than my stiff cable one
Like, you know the ones that are like bike cable locks, but a lot more rigid? This thing rocks
It has two different clamps. One is good for phones, the other is good for tablets and the switch
Well dang.
Comes down and out far enough to be really useful, even without an adjustable bed
Old
I love that this exists.
New
Oh my yes
Now, it's not the absolute perfect fit, but it does work
After struggling, I remembered that it's actually the cell phone size the one that I use
just keep doing what you have been doing?
Welcome to the rest of the world. I suppose you don't have a plan yet either
AAAAAAAAAAAGH
you can't even see old on the horizon you temporally challenged noob 😄 🤗
you're only as old as people tell you
isn't that how it goes?
Old people always told me I was a child, but the moment I'm hanging around a playground.....
But as I was saying about the joycons, I really love being able to lay in bed without having to have my hands anywhere near each other and be able to control the game like that
"hands free"
Yeah. I want an x-box style controller that will do the same thing, cut in half
I'm not sure how joycons fair on Windows, I just know they suck on Android
But yeah, @mint spear So you have different ways of mounting the base, then different holes that the arm can drop in to. After that, you have the arms that come out, then at the very end, you have a double ball-joint that allows you to change the angle in pretty much 360 degrees. That means there is absolutely no issue in having the arm at maximum extension, then having that last part swivel back, so you can have screen point back towards the point of origin.
i had a dream last night that my current boss gave me access to the notes that my previous boss left him about me and it was an organized essay with a table of contents, the first section being titled "This moron has no idea how to code!"
I don't know how to code either, I just know how to butcher.
Lucky for me it was all a dream
I still am shit but at least I don't have my boss writing an essay about it
also got my gf a gift for valentines day and i'm extremely hyped for it to get here
I'd be extremely hyped to have a girlfriend right now
Instead, I'm on the toilet after eating nothing but mini-wheats a bag of cookies, and a can of Pringles yesterday.
I got her one of these old aerolux bulbs off of Etsy
Oh neato
My Grandpa randomly shut off the power in the house and now my Ps5 is making noises while running 
Also thats really pretty
along with this bulb stand
Well then, sounds like it's time to Google your issues
I already have.
bing your issues
Scandalous.
I'm so fucking bored
aol?
yo that'd be sweet for reading ebooks off a tablet too 👀
<someone used this emote on another server and i recognized it
My Grandfather still uses AOL and apparently he pays them a monthly sub.
Bing is only good for porn.
bee famous
Anyways its just a slight noise. But it wasn't there before so it irritates me 
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Man you're a genius.
u could send it to me
Bang it on the edge of the counter
Also: What she said
in all honesty, try hard rebooting it or something
I'm gonna try petting it and giving it a food offering.
that works too

Is the fan running?
I don't need or want anyones help. I just wanted to complain.

Now it's time to complain about how I lack coffee.

I have consulted Google on your issue and found out your PS5 is infected with lesbians.
Omg what server??
Spread the bee
skydiving.

@dusty magnet apex
Bee thinks he famous now
good thing he doesnt know i talk here
I'll let them know.
no bugger off

hello ren
hello pcman
Hello Mario.
Hello Luigi.
mdjf;odsf
Cube World is the other server I am active in and Computerman too is there.
@primal kelp I'm so confused, did they have that emote in their server?
no they are here
but they used it there
That makes more sense
tbf I'm only in the CW discord for game updates, couldn't be bothered to actually check anything else
That's why I originally joined tbh.
i just want to keep this place a secret bc i dont want anyone i know there here to cause trouble
it's literally in my "I'm only here for game updates and announcements" folder
i check twitter for that
Eh, trouble bringers here don't last long.
I understand though. This is a nice community.

Pure
I'm much more active in private servers, this place is an exception
I'm in zero private servers cause I'm just not cool enough for that.
Oh I see, we're Computermans side chick.
Maccas time
nah not really - I'm in like 8 different private servers and combined I'm technically more active there but separate I'm much more active here
if that makes sense
i stopped using private ones bc theres always drama
with public it tends to go away faster
that's true unfortunately, I've actually been dealing with some recently
learned the hard way
I'm not directly involved but I'm just kinda caught in the middle of it since I'm friends with both of them
I've never really let it get to me all that much
though I can perfectly understand bouncing
i have enough irl, i come on here to relax, kinda ironic since i do moderate too

Fuck I love McDonald's
Carls Junior
famous star. Superior to all mcdonalds.
Especially when its free because your friends with a owner
If I had to pick a fast food place, probably Arbys, but tbh I hate fast food.
my top fast food place would probably be panda express
Never had it
it's good, surprisingly cheap
so chinese takeout but its a chain restaurant
^
Sounds nice. All the Chinese places around us are pretty low quality and way over priced.
how much for a lunch?
