Thanks for the heads up

I remember when Pepe first started showing up, how the character was twisted for memes that supported less than stellar ideologies and the author being so livid

Nature of the internet
dry copper
I never got through the whole story of Pepe the frog
idle saffron
Stupid looking frog is all I know about it
idle saffron
I have about a million of those emojis
Seems like every discord server has at least one
Well, almost 😄
weak tiger
I just thought that was it's name
Same. Didn’t know there was a whole cinematic universe for it, just that there were a couple different styles of frog meme
idle saffron
That scrolls down!
weak tiger
oh my goodness
rotund cosmos
Seems like the more "shitpost"-y the server, the more of the pepe emojis it has
idle saffron
I should add at least one here then
idle saffron
Lol
rotund cosmos
Pepe-free zone
dry copper
The reason so many Pepe emoji exist is probably related to the campaign matt furie started after the frog started getting misappropriated for utility in spreading hatred and bigotry. The #savepepe campaign was international, aimed at disrupting the hatred that was destroying pepe as the symbol he claimed it was for.
rotund cosmos
Might be why

“As the creator of Pepe, I condemn the illegal and repulsive appropriations of the character by racist and fringe groups. The true nature of Pepe, as featured in my comic book, ‘Boys Club,’ celebrates peace, togetherness and fun." - Matt Furie

Just finished trying out Thief Simulator...
Some of the missions in this game are dumb as they come.
I got one mission early on ...as a thief, to break a toilet.
So, stupid me; I decide sure yeah I'll do that. I stake out a place all night long, catch the couple that own the house leaving early in the morning - Sneak into their home and break their toilet with a crowbar. I leave...All for $50.

I got one mission early on ...as a thief, to break a toilet.
I mean it’s kinda funny isn’t it?
weak tiger
I don’t know, if I were pursuing a life of crime I’d vandalize a toilet for $50 too
austere lance
Honestly that's a good deal, lol
dry copper
I don’t know, if *I* were pursuing a life of crime I’d vandalize a toilet for $5...
I'm not against the toilet breaking. I'm against the price point. 99% of these missions require damn near perfect stealth or waiting until the residents leave and this requires a lot of time or a lot of money so that $50 ends up being less than minimum wage.
If I'm breaking toilets and hiding in garbage bins, I want a living wage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZorA99-fnc this video brings me joy, i like simulators too, but i also like ace combat, criticizing ace combat for lack of realism is like criticizing skyrim because the magic spells dont make sense.

i mean, i play a lot of games, of all genres, these people are making it look like they touch less grass than i do, how have they managed that.

precisely, which is why i understand when people gatekeep a little, not everything is meant to be for everybody, we get this from newer players in empyrion a lot where they ask for things to be more realistic
and its like, realism isnt the point
snow zenith

dry copper
That's all I do
I almost never play anything on it.
I just like that they're keeping steam from becoming a true monopoly
This drives down prices across the board and gives other retailers a foothold to enter the market
Fanatical for example thrives post EGS
Greenman Gaming
orchid fox
so they are avoiding becoming a monopoly by doin monopoly by being utter shitstains to other platforms that has been promised a port but they change their mind cuz epic money
dry copper
Can't blame Epic for a game developer or publisher deciding to be greedy.
Ultimately it undermines Epic to grab their free games if you're not spending money on games with EGS 😛
orchid fox
like i did today hahah
which game?
sleek cloud
which game?
Dead Island 2
dry copper
That said, I don't disagree with the principle. I just don't think the principle is served by avoiding the service and can be better served by manipulating that very service to undermine it. If you really want to hit a developer that lied to consumers, typically games that go on EGS exclusively that don't successfully sell, end up getting put onto their backend as a freeby to bolster said title down the road when there's going to be a sequel or DLC released and you can get the game you wanted free while the developer gets no profit and the cost for the product is borne on Epic entirely.

Weird soap box to die on.
How to kill someone with a toilet bowl cleaner.
A murder methodology so perverse that tracking the killer would be as easy as googling "Gun that shoots toilet bowl cleaner"
winter yew
its a revolver, everybody knows revolvers dont spit evidence brass everywhere, so it would be the perfect hired gun weapon
dry copper
Except its range and accuracy is bullshit
One of the downsides of using rubber band powered projectile weapons
Though I'm sure with the proper 20 years of training, one might become a professional killer with a toilet bowl cleaner.
winter yew
that cant be right its a revolver, that automatically makes it the bomb
dry copper
It was funny. The inventor (Joerg) in one of his videos complained he almost seriously hurt himself with the weapon when a projectile decided to spin in the air, bounce off an object and come flying back at him
winter yew
hes just gotta fan it, rate of fire will make up for lack of accuracy
dry copper
I think conceptually these inventions are great. In the future they may even have utility beyond morbid curiosity and the demonstration of perverse technical prowess. I look forward to seeing how this technology develops. I know it's silly in a sense for the simple fact we've moved on from needing to use rubber bands, but it's always nice to revisit old ideas and branch into new ideas from them....creating alternative tech trees.

Wait the F-22 and YF-23 special missile is qaam or hvaa?
winter yew
yf-23 is hvaa, f-22 is qaam
people who spam F-22 qaam with flight duration and homing upgrades really dont like the IEWS, but well, i mean i guess they know how it feels to be on the receiving end of a bullshit weapon now lmao
visual scarab
Oh well, good thing I prefer YF-23 even though I like how F-22 look more
winter yew
its easy to defeat qaam users without iews, but far, far more entertaining to do it with
my preferred anti qaam build these days is f-15c with pulse lasers and armor upgrades
primal loom
The pulse lasers are a lot of fun
winter yew
f-15c has good acceleration, not great turn speed but, its all about abusing the enemies weaknesses and taking advantage of your strength, and its pretty hard to do anything about pulse lasers, they aint gonna dodge the hits if you got a shot and its real easy to get a shot with the right parts
people underestimate the pulse lasers
primal loom
I like to fly the MiG-31B with them sometimes
winter yew
i like the f-15c with them cause its off meta
visual scarab
I like using railgun but I suck at aiming lol
winter yew
most people run the f-15c with SASM's
primal loom
I like using railgun but I suck at aiming lol
lol same, I'm not very good with the EML either
visual scarab
What does the SASM do again?
winter yew
cause its fast, got good acceleration and the sasm's are proximity, dont require direct hits to damage
primal loom
It explodes near the target
winter yew
its can be an annoying weapon to fight against, arguably just as bad as a qaam, but like qaams theres a trick to dodging them
visual scarab
lol same, I'm not very good with the EML either
Yeah like, I once landed a shot on Mr. X on Hard difficulty but it was super lucky so I just go back to the good ol' YF-23
winter yew
or, you can just run armor
visual scarab
its can be an annoying weapon to fight against, arguably just as bad as a qaam, ...
How do you dodge them qaam though?
winter yew
How do you dodge them qaam though?
easy, fly close to the ground
the missiles are very difficult to dodge but they always loop a few times before hitting you, very rarely do they hit you on the first pass
so you just fly close to the ground, they pass behind you the first loop
smack into the ground and well, no more missile
you fly straight at the qaam user its even more effective
the missile just goes behind you and smacks into the ground
some players are smart, and will keep their distance and altitude
most players are not, and will move in to engage you
and then well, i just glue myself to their ass so they can never fire another qaam at me
primal loom
Reject QAAM, return to MSL
winter yew
my f-15c with pulse lasers makes real short work of qaam players
even if they can hit me with them ive got armor parts on it, does next to nothing
visual scarab
Do you even use TLS?
winter yew
barely, the annoying thing about tls is that its installed on planes which cant fully utilize it
its a ranged weapon, meant for killing targets from long distances away
but its a weapon available on planes that are all dogfighting planes
my response to tls users is usually a plane equipped with HPAA's
i wait for them to start firing from long range, cause i know theyre focused on precision and keeping the beam on target, and not maneuvering their plane
then i just launch hpaa's at them and get the 1 shot
by the time they react and try to dodge its too late
visual scarab
but its a weapon available on planes that are all dogfighting planes
Bruh lol
winter yew
its underpowered in ace 7
in older ace combat games the TLS is busted
all you have to do is pass the beam near a target and they disintegrate instantly

Boring empty open world with a Ubisoft "climb the radio towers to unveil the map" type mechanic, repetitive side missions that add nothing to the game, a story that just kinda...ends, and basically no enemy variety til the final chapter of the game, which is so short that you don't actually get to enjoy the full enemy variety

Turns out their gf was pregnant and some guy running an illicit drug ring out of a back alley club was responsible for her...ahem...condition...and I ended up having to sneak into the apartment of a crack head and hide in their closet listening to them planning their next moves, before finding out through one of their doctors that they were trying to get beta blockers by lying to the doc who themselves were wrestling with employees that were skimming off the top...The shit I had to do to find out who the murderer was...blew my mind...and I didn't have to FIGHT once!
