Best snack for drinking

[north birch]

What's the best VR headset and controllers?

Switching to pc soon and I need sum recommendations

[silver mantle]

Best is a difficult thing to measurr but ive heard mostly high praise for the Valve Index

[terse cargo]

i have heard good stuff about the index too but i never used a vr headset so i dont know a lot on the subject

[north birch]

Ight thanks

I use psvr but it's soooooo blurry

Nms still feels good tho

[fickle obsidian]

which games?

some of the ports are p. rough but those made for it have looked sharp to me

[north birch]

I only played nms and Ace combat 7 vr mode

[fickle obsidian]

or at least, as sharp as one might expect for it

Aah, yeah, i'd say grab a dedicated VR title during a sale or something or try some of the demos for them & compare, least if you haven't already

[north birch]

Based on opinions I saw the psvr is a lot weaker than a majority of other headsets

Ima try a demo to check

[fickle obsidian]

oh yeah, it is technically weaker than others so there are going to be drawbacks

[north birch]

Also vr games on pc are waaaaay better

[fickle obsidian]

anyway, back to your original question, i've seen some good stuff about the HP Reverb G2, which is a tad cheaper than any of Valve's stuff

[north birch]

Ight ima look into it

Looks good

Bruh valve vr is 2k€ 😮

[dire flower]

anybody wanna learn art or piano or spanish for free

[mint spear]

I want to learn how to properly skin deer

[dire flower]

that's not very cute ◞‸◟

[mint spear]

What is cute though is slapping the venison before you fry it with garlic and hot sauce

[dire flower]

noooooooh

[silver mantle]

I want to learn how to farm properly

Much more long term survival solution

[mint spear]

I want an alpaca farm

@dire flower do you like alpacas

[dire flower]

i love alpacas they are so cute

[mint spear]

And the meat is really tasty

[dire flower]

nooooooooooo

meat isnt fooooood

meat is frienddd

[mint spear]

I had a chicken friend that i took everywhere with me

Until we had chicken for dinner one night

[dire flower]

u.u

[silver mantle]

Only meat I would truly miss would be seafood

The rest I can do without

[mint spear]

I cannota eata my bolognese withouta beef

That is the only meat i would need

[silver mantle]

Impossible meat would prolly be better tbh

[mint spear]

Maybe

[silver mantle]

Like I'm not even kidding the mushroom stuff I had was amazing

[mint spear]

What does it taste like though

[silver mantle]

Like spiced sausage I guess

Fuck I hate pointless steps to stupid work

[mint spear]

Step 1: Look at step 2

[silver mantle]

This just appeals to the lowest common denominator

[mint spear]

Step 2: Look at step 1

[silver mantle]

The people who make these fucking rules don't even do the work so they have no motivation to make it make any sense

[mint spear]

That's how it usually goes

Step 3: Discombobulate

[silver mantle]

And then condescending lecture follows on how I shouldn't be so lazy and just do the work

[mint spear]

https://c.tenor.com/9nkS4ZhI5kQAAAAM/conspiracy-theory.gif

[mint spear]

"We made the rules as clear as possible"

[silver mantle]

Well the way they pass off legitimate questions about the value of work is by just calling anyone who questions it lazy

[mint spear]

Deflect and dismiss

[silver mantle]

I'm literally being made to write "no errors" on every form now

[mint spear]

LMAO

Write "errors missing, please fix"

[silver mantle]

I should

Or "I am error"

[hallow isle]

"Nothing found so I hid something for the next shift to make sure they're awake"

[silver mantle]

Omg someone wrote "this block should be checked" when they could just check it and proceed. Small corrections are allowed for

[mint spear]

Amazing

[hallow isle]

"Coffee was more substandard than usual today"

[silver mantle]

I'm gonna lose my mind

[mint spear]

"If I get one more paper without errors on it I will lose the last shred of my sanity"

Sneak it in there

[hallow isle]

"This log entry is an error"

[jovial dragon]

Good morning friends.

[silver mantle]

Well they've been asking these forms to be reviewed since last week and no one else is obviously capable so I will forge ahead

Morning

Shipyard thinking would say "include a ! In the file name"

[mint spear]

Discombobulate!

[silver mantle]

That's enough for tonite

Wheee an hour and 20 minute ghost story/photo/video compilation haha

So much fun 😁

[mint spear]

LMAO

[silver mantle]

I love these things dude

[mint spear]

I know hahahaha

[silver mantle]

I should read SCP too those are also fun

[terse cargo]

Scp is some good stuff

[sterile tartan]

Inspirobot wisdom of the day:

[terse cargo]

I welcome our ai overlords

[silver mantle]

Thanks

[mint spear]

Gesundheit

[hallow isle]

had a cold call today from a vendor asking if I wanted to talk about cyber attacks from AI's

didn't think we were at skynet yet

[terse cargo]

Maybe he was talking about something like brute force attacks and bots?

Hmm anyway what I am gonna make for lunch

[sterile tartan]

Oh yeah I had a dream where a few people used dry ice to simulate a cold bomb, said something about Snowpiercer, then kidnapped a bunch of people and took them to a train. That looked more like a fancy doctor's office
But they were feeding children to pigs so uh

[mint spear]

Something with hot sauce

[terse cargo]

Don't have hot sauce

[mint spear]

I'll send you the Apollo

[silver mantle]

I think I keep dreaming about liminal spaces

I guess they're inseparable tho

[terse cargo]

I have noodles
Nasigoreng
Risoto
Pizza
And tortellini

[silver mantle]

I guess I just have to do everything again tonite. Apparently no one else will do the weekly instrument checks

[terse cargo]

I guess tortellini are also noodles but you get the point

[silver mantle]

One was even broken

[mint spear]

Nasigoreng

[sterile tartan]

Eat the tortellini

Your coworkers sound useless every single time you mention them, kait

[mint spear]

But buy hot sauce first

[terse cargo]

Alright coin flip between Nasigoreng and tortellini then

[silver mantle]

That is because... Well haha

Maybe ill get another cash award tho 😝

[terse cargo]

Tortellini

[sterile tartan]

Maybe. That would be cool

[mint spear]

Best i can do is a mule and a potato

[silver mantle]

Tortellini and chili

With cubed cheese

[mint spear]

You just made me think of cubed steaks

[terse cargo]

I don't have chilli or cubed cheese, I have Parmesan tho

[silver mantle]

Make chili 😝

[mint spear]

How do you even live, Explosivo

[silver mantle]

I'm being intentionally difficult

[terse cargo]

I survive on internet alone

[silver mantle]

But you can use canned chili and cheddar cheese

Try it sometime

[mint spear]

Also order the Apollo

[silver mantle]

Its delicious

[mint spear]

Delivery is 20 euros

The sauce is 15

I think

[silver mantle]

Don't be a single guy and think you can replace chili with baked beans FFS

Its not the same 😐

[mint spear]

Are single guys known for this

[silver mantle]

For making weird cooking choices yes

[mint spear]

Lmao

That is so specific though hahahaha

[terse cargo]

What the fuck why would I do that

[mint spear]

Because you're German

[silver mantle]

Idk same reason I would eat chocolate ice cream because I'm sad

[mint spear]

Germans love baked beans

[silver mantle]

And drink vodka

[terse cargo]

Fair point

[mint spear]

My gf's dad has about 50 cans of baked beans in storage

[silver mantle]

Are they British type or American type?

[terse cargo]

Touche

[silver mantle]

Cuz there's a huge diff here

[mint spear]

German

[silver mantle]

No jackass I mean bbq or whatever

[mint spear]

LMAO

Idk

I just saw beans

[silver mantle]

Americans get weirded out by British beans

And prolly vice versa

[mint spear]

Well Brits do eat blood pudding

[terse cargo]

The good German beans

[mint spear]

Everything is questionable once you know that

[silver mantle]

What is the flavor like

[terse cargo]

Beans

[mint spear]

Idk but it has seasoned blood in it

[silver mantle]

Omfg

[mint spear]

Lmao

[silver mantle]

So this is why id think beans would replace chili

Y'all know how to pair flavors n shit?

[mint spear]

Like chocolate pizza?

[terse cargo]

Just make chilli con Carne, there you go beans and chilli

[silver mantle]

[terse cargo]

:D

[silver mantle]

We should play overcooked lmao

[mint spear]

Oh i have that

On Epic Games though

[silver mantle]

Ill be Gordon Ramsey

[terse cargo]

Oh dear lord my friends refuse to play it with me

Too much dashing

[silver mantle]

If its anything like Bridge Crew

[mint spear]

Oooof

Amazing game

Absolutely delightful

[silver mantle]

Can't do it this weekend tho cuz halloween

Has to be spooky

[mint spear]

Halloween this year is going to be interesting

And no, i won't elaborate

[silver mantle]

I wasn't gonna ask

[terse cargo]

Note to future me, use less water on tortellini

[mint spear]

Good cause i wouldn't elaborate

[mint spear]

Did you drown pasta

[terse cargo]

I mean not like you can

[mint spear]

Ofc you can, you just did

[terse cargo]

I didn't hear them drown

[mint spear]

Cause they are in boiling water

[terse cargo]

Who says the water was boiling

[silver mantle]

...

I'm making a revoked role for #no-mans-steak🥩 and I'm giving it to you

[mint spear]

Well deserved after that comment

[terse cargo]

I am messing with you of course I boiled them, you gotta kill them after all

[silver mantle]

[mint spear]

I think it was the shock of realising who is boiling them that killed them

[silver mantle]

I remember pretending my teddy grahams were screaming when I ate them 😂

[sterile tartan]

Completely random interjection from Spirit

I plan to make more Christmas themed monsters this December

[terse cargo]

Sounds good

[silver mantle]

My Xmas tree is already up

[mint spear]

When i eat the Haribo bears i put a few of them in a circle and one in the middle and pretend they are sacrificing it for me

[sterile tartan]

Our tree is still at soul's parents' house hah

[terse cargo]

Angler Rudolph

[sterile tartan]

✍️

[silver mantle]

We bought a new tree so we wanted to see what itd look like and no reason to take it down now

[sterile tartan]

Fair enough

[mint spear]

Some of my neighbours put up Christmas lights and decorations a month ago

[sterile tartan]

I can forgive October. Not September though

[terse cargo]

Christmas trees are the altars at which we pray to the God santa so that Nicolas may take our offerings and be spared by krampus

[mint spear]

Le mao

[silver mantle]

Its also late october and idc about thxgiving

So its an interesting mix but hey nightmare before Christmas 😁

[terse cargo]

Time for nightmare on Christmas, the sequel

[silver mantle]

I'm gonna watch it on the weekend

[sterile tartan]

I have a Jack Skellington Snuggie blanket

Has a hood even

[terse cargo]

Tbh now I want old God santa

[sterile tartan]

I was gonna make a wreath monster last year and never did. So that's probably the first one I'll make after I finish the candy cane one that got abandoned last year

[terse cargo]

Mimic presents

[sterile tartan]

Annnnd the stocking one

I did a present already

[terse cargo]

Jup that's a mimic present

[silver mantle]

Reminds me of the weird feeling of playing Killing Floor xmas

[terse cargo]

What about evil spirit Christmas tree balls

[sterile tartan]

[terse cargo]

Hell yeah

[sterile tartan]

I'm gonna try to do more this year since I only actually finished three last year

[terse cargo]

Do you have String lights anacondas?

[sterile tartan]

I don't but that's a good idea

[silver mantle]

Hurry up and be Saturday

[terse cargo]

I mean we are close to Saturday

Like 1 1/2 days

[sterile tartan]

I'm actually writing stuff down now so I have the ideas ready. Might even start next month just to give more time for them

[silver mantle]

I know but there's 2 more days this week and its annoying when I do 3/4 of all the work

Yeah I wrote most of October Sky like 3 months early haha

[terse cargo]

The idea of old God santa is stuck in my head

[sterile tartan]

So far I have the wreath, string of lights, and a few previously unfinished ones

[terse cargo]

I imagine families gathering around the Christmas tree singing ancient ritual songs instead of Christmas songs

[sterile tartan]

Heh

[terse cargo]

I mean if you think about it, people believe in Santa, so Santa is a God

[sterile tartan]

I should do a couple more presents in different shapes

[terse cargo]

Oh lord that's why they tell us he doesn't exist, if we believe in him he gets stronger

It all makes sense now

[silver mantle]

If you start another religious discussion here ill be mad

[terse cargo]

Oh right, dishwasher God, I remember,

Sorry

[sterile tartan]

Oooo I have an idea... Scotch tape. Because ... Well, tape is an essential thing for wrapping presents

[silver mantle]

[terse cargo]

Everything was fine until the Spekulatius legions attacked

[sterile tartan]

Gonna make a candle monster but I was gonna do that anyway. It can be included with the others though I think

[terse cargo]

True the wreath for example

[sterile tartan]

Oh yeah. One of my friends asked if he can use my monsters as DnD enemies
I said sure. Because that's cool as hell

[terse cargo]

Hehe beholder santa

He sees the misdeads of the kids

[sterile tartan]

My Santa hat mimic is the best thing ever and I think would make a cool encounter

[terse cargo]

Cinnamon stars spiders?

[sterile tartan]

Oooo

Oh so the ones I have that never got finished last year are the candy cane and stocking, an entire Xmas tree, and a gingerbread man

[silver mantle]

Gotta make evil deer

[terse cargo]

Like I said, Angler Rudolph

His red nose lures in his prey

[silver mantle]

Yeah

[sterile tartan]

Angler Rudolph is on the list

[silver mantle]

I have no good ideas

[terse cargo]

I am trying to think of typical Christmas things

I don't know a lot

[sterile tartan]

Honestly could just be a random object that could be associated. And I can figure out how to make it scary

[mint spear]

Santa but he eats bad children and pukes them out as presents for good children

[terse cargo]

Alright, Google, typical Christmas objects, here I go

[mint spear]

Could be a short comic

[sterile tartan]

That's pretty elaborate. Would make a good story

That too

[silver mantle]

Something that pukes eggnog haha god that's disgusting to think about

[sterile tartan]

[terse cargo]

So we missed
Bells
Angels
Snow globes

[sterile tartan]

Oh there was a Santa boot one I never finished too

Oooo bells

[mint spear]

Oh there you go, Kait

The angel pukes out eggnog

[terse cargo]

Wonderful

[sterile tartan]

Pff

[terse cargo]

Or the angels kidnap the bad children

[mint spear]

Holy regurgitation

Good story name

[terse cargo]

That sounds like a Christian Pokémon knock off move

[sterile tartan]

Lmao

[terse cargo]

Pokémon Priest evolves to bishop evolves to cardinal mega evolution the pope

[sterile tartan]

I definitely have enough ideas to keep me occupied for a while now lmao

.....yule log monster...

[terse cargo]

Snow globes that shrink people and trap them inside

[silver mantle]

Its starting to get very Issac haha

[terse cargo]

The little village inside is actually a real village

[sterile tartan]

That would make a really neat story too

[terse cargo]

Screeching bells

It doesn't ring it just screeches

[sterile tartan]

hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, screeeeeeeeeeeee

[terse cargo]

Cue the sound of windows shattering

Mistletoe but the little berries are eyes

[sterile tartan]

Spooky

[silver mantle]

Mistltoe is already evil

[sterile tartan]

I have no idea how many of these will actually happen. But we'll see

[terse cargo]

Well time to escalate that

It starts strangling you if you walk past it without kissing someone

[silver mantle]

🙃

[sterile tartan]

Assert dominance and strangle it first

[terse cargo]

Kiss the Mistletoe

[sterile tartan]

Mistletoe, more like mistleno

Autocorrect wasn't quite wrong though lol

[terse cargo]

Autocorrect just trying to do its job

[civic ferry]

kinda weird question but... does anyone know of any smart watch brands that are making concave watch faces?

[mint spear]

no

@terse cargo why are you sleeping in Labyrinthine

[terse cargo]

what do you mean sleeping

[silver mantle]

He's spoiling the game early, laaame

[terse cargo]

i was wondering if it had a tutorial

it doesnt

[mint spear]

it says zzz next to your name on Steam

you're sleeping

[terse cargo]

interesting

[mint spear]

so if i don't have dlcs for Stellaris i can't have all the species in singleplayer?

[terse cargo]

correct

but you can have them in multiplayer if you join someone that has them

[mint spear]

yeah but i can't experiment with them in singleplayer

fuck

time to go rob someone

[terse cargo]

or i could just open up a lobby real quick and let you design something

if you are home that is

[mint spear]

yeah i left work 3 hours early

gotta watch Doom Patrol first though

[terse cargo]

alright i will be here till like 16:00

or somewhere around that

[mint spear]

[terse cargo]

[mint spear]

[silver mantle]

Ill be home in like 600 years

[terse cargo]

yes blazing plastic explosives, i gotta rob a bank

[terse cargo]

[silver mantle]

Sweet

[sterile tartan]

Anyone else ever just randomly get veggie tales songs stuck in their head

[lucid granite]

goto a timer

4 seconds down, 599 years and some to go

[terse cargo]

it will be a truly monumental event

[void plank]

Was really irritated last night.... Smoked about 2 1/4 packs of cigarettes and didn't sleep.... My lungs hurt and my brain don't know what to do with itself....

[mint spear]

Everything ended up being fine if you're wondering

I don't think anyone ended up injured but I could be wrong

Sorry for the ping

[opaque tartan]

[silver mantle]

Joining the server just to post low quality memes is an odd choice though; since this is a NMS server.

[opaque tartan]

Don't judge me 🤣

[mint spear]

i'm judging you

[silver mantle]

K

[opaque tartan]

You always do

[lucid granite]

i've been judging you for like 3 years now

[elder shale]

It's still hot here

Rainy and hot

[silver mantle]

[civic ferry]

I lived in tacoma for a while

[mint spear]

[inner belfry]

I love coffee too, but starting to drink hot tea more instead.

[elder shale]

I try to avoid caffeine.

Tea's my go to too.

[mint spear]

Tea has more caffeine than coffee if you didn't know.

[mint spear]

did you see my message on Steam?

[inner belfry]

[civic ferry]

hope it tastes good, at least

[hallow isle]

"Parks and Recreation actor arrested for vandalising statue"

"In 2009, Beals appeared in one episode of Parks and Recreation as clubgoer Len"

Newspapers are literally the worst

[inner belfry]

I like it a lot actually

[mint spear]

[jaunty copper]

i've been to new york, does that make me a member of the cast of Friends?

Too early zug

That cake will go stale

[opaque tartan]

[opaque tartan]

We will still send cake though

You can't stop us

Even muting us won't help

We'll make new accounts

[clever vessel]

I don't like to either, but others like to celebrate my birthday

it's interesting how some people LOVE to celebrate their birthday

but that's ok tbh

[fickle obsidian]

[elder shale]

Oh yea the problem really was the PSU

[fickle obsidian]

[little bloom]

my book came

[elder shale]

what book

[elder shale]

NiIiIiICe

I approve

Herbert's writing takes some getting used to, mind

But it's by no means bad

[little bloom]

What do you mean?

[elder shale]

You're not seeing it from a character's perspective.

Even the dialogue is like you're being told by an omniscient narrator

[little bloom]

It's so pretty aaaaaaa

[lucid granite]

a SEAL

[opaque tartan]

That's an otter...

😢

[lucid granite]

oh

[opaque tartan]

@elder shale Yeah, soak it in

[lucid granite]

is this a poop pool??

[opaque tartan]

Salty pool but it does look a bit pooey

[lucid granite]

its ideal for individuals wanting to unburden themselves and detox

[red bough]

so probably in UK....

[lucid granite]

sounds like a poop pool

[opaque tartan]

Probably

[opaque tartan]

You get a trophy for soaking in it

[lucid granite]

ooh exciting

[opaque tartan]

This does not excite me

This maybe

[lucid granite]

exciting

[red bough]

i mean, did you people see some pics from that UK sewage situation? i spend too much time on the internet so i am not easily shocked, but that was quite disgusting...

[opaque tartan]

Yeah

[lucid granite]

i did not

[opaque tartan]

Live here, obviously I've seen it

But I don't go to our beaches anyway

someone suggested that whoever wants to make Dune movies should be forced to start with the God Emperor (book 4), and if they can pull that off, they are allowed to make the prequels too...

I can’t remember werewolves in Skyrim

[dapper copper]

I remember trying to find one out in the wild, and the first one I saw was one being launched off into space by a giant.

[clever vessel]

[ruby bay]

Oof

Just read barbecue sauce described as "food lotion"

You're welcome everyone

[elder shale]

food lotion

lmfao

[hallow isle]

The food rubs the lotion on itself or it gets the hose again

[weak nimbus]

means something totally different based on what I was just looking at

https://i.imgur.com/eDAo8p4.jpg

[safe path]

It puts the lotion on the chicken or else it gets the grill again?

[weak nimbus]

I feel like the smell would be worse at the top vs the bottom, but I could be wrong and have no intention on finding out

[dusty magnet]

Yeah I noticed that too lmao

[elder shale]

[dusty magnet]

Ive eaten a lot of Oreos today

[sterile tartan]

Was testing something

[elder shale]

sometimes i buy those family packs and eat it all lol

[elder shale]

What're you doing :o

[dusty magnet]

Cannddlleee

Whoa that sparkly shit is sick

[sterile tartan]

I put mica powder in the melted wax

[dusty magnet]

It looks pearlescent

[elder shale]

yea

[sterile tartan]

It moves

[elder shale]

pretty

[dusty magnet]

Can you do that in mine too

If you have enough

[sterile tartan]

Lemme see if I can send the video. Obviously it won't move when it's solid

Yep that's why I was testing it

Also I have a lot of colors of it so I'll make it look cool with whatever color yours ends up being

[elder shale]

that's so cool tho :o

[sterile tartan]

Yeeee

[elder shale]

i haven't lit candles in a good bit

it's getting to that time of the year where i gotta

make house cozy

[sterile tartan]

Candles are nice

[elder shale]

🕯️

[dusty magnet]

THATS SO SICK

Spirit is my fav candlemaker

[sterile tartan]

It isn't shiny on top
Also I messed it up a bit but oh well lol

[elder shale]

why do i want to eat it

The only thing toxic in it is the scented oil

[dusty magnet]

Meh toxic shmoxic

[elder shale]

[sterile tartan]

Was gonna send this one to another friend if I didn't mess it up lmao. But I can always make a new one

[dusty magnet]

Y'all ever eat wax? Tastes weird.

[sterile tartan]

But Bee gets priority, this was only a test
Insert emergency broadcast sound

[weak nimbus]

Candy corn.

[sterile tartan]

There's wax candy. Like actually wax

[dusty magnet]

Wax soda bottles

[sterile tartan]

Yes

[dusty magnet]

Those are jummy

[sterile tartan]

Technically I don't think you're supposed to eat the wax but you also can so eh

But yeah uhm. If you got an unscented candle you could totally eat it

So bee as long as you're aware that the spirals and such won't show up in the final product I can do it

[dusty magnet]

Yeah that's fine

[sterile tartan]

The shiny shows up while it's melting tho

[dusty magnet]

It'll look cool when it's burning

[sterile tartan]

Yes

[dusty magnet]

Wooooo

[sterile tartan]

Alright last chance for this question, you're sure you don't have a color preference?

[dusty magnet]

For the wax or the container?

[sterile tartan]

Wax

[dusty magnet]

Hmm

What're my options

[sterile tartan]

I haven't gotten new containers

Uh pretty much anything

No multicolor ones but other than that anything

[dusty magnet]

I think red with like black mica powder would be sick

Would go well with the container

[sterile tartan]

Sweet, alright. Just like standard red or a darker red or..?

[dusty magnet]

I think a darker red

Wait can I see the container again

[sterile tartan]

Wow blur

There

[fickle obsidian]

is it magic

[sterile tartan]

Of course

[dusty magnet]

Yeah a deeper read like on there

Red

[sterile tartan]

Alright. I apparently only have one red shade but I can mix colors no problem, so it works

Only black powder is silver black, but that sounds really cool

[dusty magnet]

Ooh yes I like that

[sterile tartan]

Just waiting on my pan to heat up now

Kinda guessed at the color combo so here's hoping it turns out when I put the color in

[elder shale]

that

looks so cute

[sterile tartan]

[dusty magnet]

I'm so excited

[fickle obsidian]

hmmm

oh wait are u going camping bee?

[weak nimbus]

I've always wondered...

If you are often burning candles...are you just coating your room with candle wax vapor?

like...very slowly

[fickle obsidian]

Ooooh

[hallow isle]

yes

[sterile tartan]

Probably

[hallow isle]

same with smoking

and cooking anything with oil

[fickle obsidian]

adam have u made ur room a waxdomain

is this how u know

[weak nimbus]

I wonder if House of Wax is streaming somewhere

[hallow isle]

no, I just go into a lot of houses

[fickle obsidian]

ah, a houseplorer

[weak nimbus]

mmmm, tomato bisque candle

I'd buy it

[sterile tartan]

It kinda does look like tomato soup lol

[weak nimbus]

$62!!!!

[jovial dragon]

Good evening....

[tawdry hollow]

put it in a heinz can or somesort

[jovial dragon]

I think.

[sterile tartan]

I'm sure it would be easy to get tomato soup scented oil

[weak nimbus]

I know I've seen tomato oil before

can't remember where now

[tawdry hollow]

slam in some garlic scent

[weak nimbus]

would be useful if you had an italian deli

your customers would walk in, smell it, be hungry, buy more

PROFIT!

[tawdry hollow]

*just let the kitchen window open

[sterile tartan]

This one smells like campfire though so not tomato

[tawdry hollow]

save da candle scents for more relaxed vibes

[weak nimbus]

campfire is a nice smell

growing up, wood burning stove

now it's illegal

[sterile tartan]

Hmmm

[tawdry hollow]

cook a can of tomat soup using the candle

[sterile tartan]

You probably could

[dusty magnet]

Ur a nice smell

[fickle obsidian]

probably, especially if it went off zuck's accounts, lol

but it also didn't exactly paint a good picture of him so dunno

[silent wagon]

It didn't remotely go off of his accounts, it's based off a book one of his frienemies wrote and still got a bunch of stuff wrong to make it more dramatic for the big screen 😆

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Mirach's Ghost

Explanation: As far as ghosts go, Mirach's Ghost isn't really that scary. Mirach's Ghost is just a faint, fuzzy galaxy, well known to astronomers, that happens to be seen nearly along the line-of-sight to Mirach, a bright star. Centered in this star field, Mirach is also called Beta Andromedae. About 200 light-years distant, Mirach is a red giant star, cooler than the Sun but much larger and so intrinsically much brighter than our parent star. In most telescopic views, glare and diffraction spikes tend to hide things that lie near Mirach and make the faint, fuzzy galaxy look like a ghostly internal reflection of the almost overwhelming starlight. Still, appearing in this sharp image just above and to the right of Mirach, Mirach's Ghost is cataloged as galaxy NGC 404 and is estimated to be some 10 million light-years away.

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Haunting the Cepheus Flare

Explanation: Spooky shapes seem to haunt this dusty expanse, drifting through the night in the royal constellation Cepheus. Of course, the shapes are cosmic dust clouds visible in dimly reflected starlight. Far from your own neighborhood, they lurk above the plane of the Milky Way at the edge of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex some 1,200 light-years away. Over 2 light-years across and brighter than most of the other ghostly apparitions, vdB 141 or Sh2-136 is also known as the Ghost Nebula, seen at the right of the starry field of view. Inside the nebula are the telltale signs of dense cores collapsing in the early stages of star formation. With the eerie hue of dust reflecting bluish light from hot young stars of NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula stands out against the dark just left of center. In the broad telescopic frame, these fertile interstellar dust fields stretch almost seven full moons across the sky.

[prisma hinge]

If someone was torn between getting one of two games next month... Bf2042 and gta collection, which would you guys suggest and why

[mint spear]

bf2042

no question

[silver mantle]

I think they're both uninteresting

[mint spear]

i’ve never played a battlefield game but if “someone” really wanted to get one of the two, they should get battlefield

don’t support cockstar’s new strategy of rereleasing the same shit

[silver mantle]

GTA collection is 3 games instead of 1

If you've never had them its not a repeat; and it appears they aren't just porting mobile versions

[mint spear]

my opinion on gta collection: even if remastered, an upgrade from super mario 64 graphics to the sims 2 isn’t worth the asking price

just me

[silver mantle]

BF2042 will be dead in a year

[mint spear]

i just want gta 6

now

[silver mantle]

Again, I care for neither but for the sake of argument

I want new things

[mint spear]

new things cost too much

milk franchises with heartless sequels or remaster/rerelease poop

[silver mantle]

Now you're just venturing into the reasons I can't stand gamers lol

Simultaneously crying for 20 remasters while also crying that games are being remastered

Not you personally but you know what I'm referring to

"REMAKE FF7!! All game companies do is make remakes! Why haven't they remastered RE4 yet!?"

[mint spear]

gamers

[fickle obsidian]

tbh i would say neither but if interested just wait a few months & get them on the cheap

[prisma hinge]

I'm weighing the pros and cons.. The pros for gta collection is i haven't played them in years and honestly never really gave a fair chance to gta3. I used to play for hours on vice city and san andreas. The environments look so much better than the original.

The cons: the characters look bad but I can look past that.

Bf i played the beta and wasnt super impressed. However, I have hope for portals. Just hope it's not super restrictive..

[long orchid]

I don't think so

[fickle obsidian]

also with gta collection get the old console copies or something & rip them to run through emulators, adjust settings to make them look about as good as remasters

[silver mantle]

Its still a high possibility of being dead as happens to mp shooters quite often; and it shoukd be weighed

[prisma hinge]

I don't have a very good pc guys

[fickle obsidian]

just offering other options

[prisma hinge]

I have ps5

[long orchid]

If the gta collection has any changes to fit a "modern audience" as the rumors say, I'm not getting it

[silver mantle]

Mods can make GTA3 look good but the engine isnt adjusted so eventually it'll run down performance. San Andreas raytrace/graphic update mod runs at about 20fps

[fickle obsidian]

they're games and not needs so I'd still say just wait and get on the cheap personally

[prisma hinge]

@long orchid you've probably played your true last gta game then. Unfortunately

[long orchid]

Yeah

[silver mantle]

Oh no they won't be able to pretend to be funny by trying to be controversial and offensive

[prisma hinge]

Agreed. But got a lot of free time and would like something to do to pass time.

[silver mantle]

How can we live through this

[fickle obsidian]

have a backlog? play that

[long orchid]

I'm just glad they'll more than likely face backlash if they pulled such a move

[silver mantle]

Isaac: Repentence is actually really fun and can absorb tons of time

[prisma hinge]

Thing is you're getting well over 60 hours with gta collection... If not more with trying to platinum everything

Whereas with battlefield, its just honestly a risk

[silver mantle]

Also it doesnt require a strong PC

[fickle obsidian]

but is it quality time

[long orchid]

Better mechanics is the selling point for me

[prisma hinge]

I enjoy exploring

So completion is something I believe I could really enjoy

[fickle obsidian]

sounds like you have a good idea of which you would prefer then imo

[prisma hinge]

And I haven't really played the games since I was a kid so it's going to be a fresh experience

Yeah I guess so

[silver mantle]

If it were just the two I would go with GTA as its 3 games but I wouldnt expect to be mind blown

I only played San Andreas tho

My mom bought it for me; ive never known how I'm supposed to feel about that 😝

But she did also spend like 5 hours making DOOM 2 work for me on DOS so I could play that at 6 years old

Such a bad influence xD

[long orchid]

Def getting bf2042 at some point

[prisma hinge]

That's what I want to do too honestly. It's always good to have multiplayer games. You get your money's worth, that's for surey

Sure*

[silver mantle]

I might finally check out battlefield 5 or battlefront 2(2); haven't checked prices yet cuz its not on my priority list

[fickle obsidian]

tbh i've only been seeing bad stuff about bf2042's technical state and a reduction in features from prior titles.

also just about any recent multiplayer release i can think of lately hasn't seemed to have much holding power with folks for one reason or another, whether it's due to one new hot game after another or technical stuff

[silver mantle]

Battlefield 5 only cuz my friend has it

[silent wagon]

Battlefield can fuck off, the beta was crap and they're leaning hard on the Specialists bs. The GTA remasters look 👌 tho and they did a lot more than just give em graphics upgrades, I'm defo playing San Andreas remaster

[silver mantle]

I will admit that the specialist Siege direction mp shooters have taken has turned me off completely

[prisma hinge]

Do you think portals will save the game?

[silent wagon]

No

[mint spear]

we need to go back to the good ol days of simple loadout menus

[silver mantle]

I want to make my own dude not play some weird cliche character the devs make up
