[raven frost]

OH THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU

@austere lance Squadrons in VR is fucking insane dude

[austere lance]

Duh 🤣

[raven frost]

did a 1v1 with my bro in an asteroid field and it was intense as fuck

[austere lance]

Did you try it with the HUD disabled so you could only rely on your ship's instrument panel

Cuz that shit is wild

[raven frost]

I haven't yet, but I feel like I'd do alright without the hud

also FUCK TIE fighters dude

just nah

[austere lance]

Depends on the ship, TIE Fighters have simple af panels but Rebel bombers are a bitch

Also yeah, TIEs are probably terrifying in VR 🤣

Glorified flying fish bowl, LMAO

[raven frost]

I rely on being able to see out of my ship wayyyyyy too much to be comfortable flying it

that's why I like the xwing so much

lotsa visibility

[austere lance]

Try an Interceptor, they're sketchy af cuz they fly fast and hit hard 😆

I bet they'll rock your fuckin socks in VR, LMAO

[raven frost]

I think I have tried them

these dudes?

[austere lance]

Think so

[raven frost]

ye, they're fun

[austere lance]

The new bomber type they added recently is a fuckin nightmare 😭

[raven frost]

not quite enough shielding as I'd like but if I had a second choice it'd be that

[austere lance]

I mean, you'll unlock different shielding components

[raven frost]

oh really?

guess I gotta get on that

[austere lance]

Go play Fleet Battles and get shit on by a party of people being coordinated, LMAO

[charred badge]

Isn't squadrons limited by gamepad control limitations?

[austere lance]

Literally never heard that before, lol

[winter yew]

Purchased cause I couldn't fucking wait.

[bronze wind]

you bought an entire road, that's awesome

[winter yew]

And all them buildings in the background.

[bronze wind]

i am really happy for you hex

[cinder vessel]

damn hecs u slingin' cash

[winter yew]

I had a weird issue that I fixed in the dumbest fucking way.

[austere lance]

Look who's in our yard

[cinder vessel]

licking the monitor

[winter yew]

Oh hey it's Jeff.

[bronze wind]

i got immortals fenyx rising and it's actually extremely good

[cinder vessel]

hi jef

Immortals underrated ubisoft cult classic 2020

[bronze wind]

I saw a bunch of articles saying it was and when i watched gameplay i was like "eh looks dumb"

[cinder vessel]

Ubisoft's best games in recent years have genuinely been the ones they advertise the least, lmao

[winter yew]

I purchased but haven't played yet.

[bronze wind]

but then i got it and it's basically BOTW but with the best QOL updates

[winter yew]

I grabbed a few games with intention on playing over a few weeks.

Didn't get around to it yet.

[bronze wind]

the humor is like borderline cringe but pretty well done 90% of the time. Not making me laugh out loud but just appreciated levels of humor lol

but yeah CP2077 is fine if you don't go into it expecting a deep sim or something

what was the weird issue you fixed?

[cinder vessel]

immortals humor be like
https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-computer-kid-okay-gif-4533805

[bronze wind]

lol pretty much exactly

[winter yew]

My CPU was running HOT. Bear in mind I'm watercooled it was genuinely the hottest it has ever been.
Hit temps of 86c which is fine but I hated it.

Never been above 50c until 2077.

[thorn dawn]

I didn't have my glasses on and thought you posted that picture hex

was wondering wtf is happening in the north of the county

[winter yew]

I made a new power plan and limited CPU max to 70% and it affected literally nothing in the game and my CPU is running nice.

Super fucking dumb.

[bronze wind]

huh interesting

[winter yew]

It makes no sense to me.

[thorn dawn]

how recent is your cpu

[winter yew]

i7-6700k, not recent in terms of hardware.

[bronze wind]

might be that they just poorly utilize the CPU and waste cycles doing nothing while it's idling

[thorn dawn]

hm, it will run above their thermal threshold, but should only throttle back to their base frequency, not below

I wonder if you just need to give it a bit of a service

dust the radiator, change the paste

[winter yew]

It gets air dusted very regular, thermal paste was done in October.

I'm not worried about it at all, it's all 2077 and not my build.

Also, my wife has/had a Surface Pro 5 that the battery swelled up and shattered the screen over Xmas.

So that's nice.

[thorn dawn]

oof

[bronze wind]

battery put on some holiday weight as well

[winter yew]

Christmas calories don't count 😌

[thorn dawn]

probably just out of warranty too

[winter yew]

Yes, gunna use it as an excuse to use her desktop as her main.

Just need to make space for a desk in an already cramped house. 😐

[thorn dawn]

can you evict the kids yet or too young?

[bronze wind]

build into wall

kids live under stairs

[thorn dawn]

That's dangerous zoid

there's a movie about it

kid ends up going to magic school and turns his brother into a pig

aunt into a balloon

not worth the risk tbh

[bronze wind]

if the kids get magic powers in my eyes that is only a plus

they can hate me but they will be a legend

[charred badge]

I've had to campaign to get room for my little setup in our bedroom

[glass plinth]

Hex whats your gpu

Im really curious

I keep seeing these overheating issues with Cyberpunk and I was wondering what Resolution your playing at and whats your gpu @winter yew

[winter yew]

gtx 980ti, 1080p on high preset, fullscreen borderless with 60fps cap, no vsync.
GPU had no issues, just CPU that as you see was an easy but dumb fix. It didn't cause any issues in game, just me disliking how close to 100c it was getting.

Also, I always run high performance power setting which is 100% CPU. "Losing" 30% performance on CPU makes no sense to me but it works.

Now I use the 70% capped power plan for Cyberpunk.

[glass plinth]

I have a 4690k

Older then yours

With the 5700xt, it quite literally never gets hot.

I suspect your cpu is struggling to keep up with load due to insufficient rendering power, though why.. I dont know

My cpu never much goes over 60c

[winter yew]

Don't know if I'm allowed to post this here, but inbetween my NMS sessions I'm working on a game, don't know if this is anyone's kind of project but hey! https://twitter.com/EversteadGame/status/1346225781249290241

[glass plinth]

Hehe, reminds me vaguely of a game done by nerd kingdom inbasic concept

[charred badge]

This is extremely tempting
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3527523

[winter yew]

@glass plinth Oh interesting 🙂

Yeah hard to not share some charactistics of other games these days but hoping the overall experience shall prove unique ;).

[glass plinth]

Well basic engine development is pretty straight forward

Making a game is tough, harddddd grueling work though

Hell, modding games is too

I can only wish you good luck though!

Oh man Ghost! That is sexy!

Wait, I could do that... I never thought of a t16000m joystick handle mod! That would be fun!

[winter yew]

Hah, yeah I guess its as hard or easy as you want it to be, would recommend a small project to anyone its super fun and good for this current lockdown era 😛

[austere lance]

That or Exoone

I feel like a wandering game all of a sudden

lol

Ori will of the wisps is soooooo beautiful though isnt it Soul

Not many games feel so much like your in a movie as Ori to me

[austere lance]

I'm on an Ori binge, I finished the first game last night and now I'm working on Will of the Wisps

[cinder vessel]

oribinge

oRANGE

[austere lance]

These games are so good 💕

[cinder vessel]

tbh i keep forgetting which is first and second for some reason, lol

[austere lance]

Blind Forest is first

[cinder vessel]

some part of me knows that 100% but then i see will of the wisps and i'm like, "wait how many are there which is this"

[austere lance]

They were both on sale during the big Winter Sale on Steam, coulda gotten both of em for a total of $20

[dry copper]

Question: Do they celebrate American independence in Cairo?

[cinder vessel]

Super Radical Solitaire is best solitaire tbh

Whenever you think you're about to get stumped, you have an option to Go Rad, where you play a mini-game to swap out a card that doesn't work with anything

Mini-games include:
-Flappy bird clone.
-Horizontal breakout.
-Claw machine.
-Pachinko.
-Go Fish.
-Bubble Trouble.
???

I dunno how many more are hidden away because the more you play the more are unlocked, lol

[willow crypt]

wow

[cinder vessel]

i don't understand pachinko.jpg

[willow crypt]

looks confusing

[cinder vessel]

the three gray/white blocks around the cardhouse are switches you have to hit to open the house to switch the card. Whatever card is shown when the game ends is the one you get

To hit the switches you fire balls with varying power & aim in hopes that they'll fall right to hit them and it's kind of the worst mini-game of the bunch imo

[static trellis]

Working on a 100% achievement Skyrim Special Edition run myself, since mods won't allow for achieves. Not cheesing anything, just playing with natural progression. Finished building 3 houses last night.

[cinder vessel]

o_O

i take it that's part of the cheevos?

[static trellis]

Yeah sadly, didn't even fill them just built the exterior lol.

[cinder vessel]

bleh

[static trellis]

Never really played Hearthfire expansion much but meh, figured if I was gonna 100% one of the skyrims it would be special edition.

After which I can feel free to mod with no achieves left to get.

Starts wondering if there's an achievement enabling while modded mod

[cinder vessel]

long as you're enjoyin' yourself 👍

there are very few games i go after achievements/trophies with

[keen rover]

anyone wanna watch me play a game i've never played before?

[static trellis]

Yeah it's not bad, noticing things I haven't before that I plan to take a closer look at with a modded playthrough.

Yeah just my mindset was man.. sucks to play modded and not get credit for it.

So might as well just do it all and clear it and not feel pressured to do anything.

[cinder vessel]

Go Fish is...Not what I expected, lmao

[willow crypt]

uh

[cinder vessel]

literally fishing, lmao

also there's baseball?

[dry copper]

Woo. Excited for FF16

Devil May Cry Final Fantasy

Woo, Hitman 3 is going to have VR support!

Now you get to be a murderer in first person with silly hand physics

I wonder if you can spank people to death

"I AM SPANK MURDERER!"

[winter yew]

Hitman 3 will have vr support... That will be interesting

[dry copper]

I hope Biomutant comes out soon

[austere lance]

Same

Gotham Knights, Psychonauts 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Far Cry 6, Biomutant, and Mass Effect Legendary Collection are what I'm looking forward to this year

[willow crypt]

gimme biomutant

starfield for me

[dry copper]

Starfield won't be out in 2021

[willow crypt]

possibly

[dry copper]

Elder Scrolls 6 is a bigger IP than Starfield and the studio is also managing FO76 major updates...

Possibly is slim at best.

If Starfield is as they claim it is going to be...It will either be a HUGE flop or a huge success

[cinder vessel]

i don't know which games i'm looking out for

I think I have some wishlisted tho, just can't remember the names

[dry copper]

I have a huge wish list of games I don't care about anymore lol

[cinder vessel]

i have multiple and some contain games i got on other platforms, lol

[dry copper]

Sometimes I'll wish a game just to raise their profile in the hope it will stimulate their growth

[cinder vessel]

bunch of cool indies coming up tho, i know that much for sure

[dry copper]

I got this one EA game years back called Exoplanet...one of the stupidest purchases I ever made...They have barely made it any better years later...

[willow crypt]

it takes two

[dry copper]

but it was space cowboys and I was in an elex+serenity phase.

[willow crypt]

Elex 2 when

[dry copper]

Elex story was shit.

Only redeeming quality for that game was the mechanic for finding loot

[willow crypt]

it was not amazing but was still engaging

[dry copper]

That loot could be anywhere was cool

[willow crypt]

i really enjoyed the world and exploration

clunky gameplay though

hopefully they make gameplay more fluid

[cinder vessel]

i should make an independent list from wishlists for games i'm interested in coming out, but i know there's a low chance i'd remember to review it so

[willow crypt]

yeah, i started a list of just general games i wanna play or finish

but i dislike going too in depth because it becomes a chore

[dry copper]

I wish there was a game like Sentient imagined in todays gaming market. In that game, events unfolded over time. Each NPC did their own thing. You could be a part of it, intervene, help etc...as part of the primary narrative of the story, but there were consequences for your interference...and there were consequences for not interfering.

[charred badge]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_(video_game)
Nostalgia

[dry copper]

The story wasn't incredibly in depth, but it was salvagable

[charred badge]

Hardwar did the background simulation to an absurd level

[dry copper]

You are a political laison sent from the planet to talk to someone on a space station when your ship gets hit by a solar flare and crashes in the docking bay...and from where it is just a series of mysteries to unravel

upto and including why the solar flares are getting so bad

[charred badge]

To the point where the cheap weaponry often had stock shortages because NPC pilots would fly in and restock all the time, and factories wouldn't have enough materials to keep making more

[dry copper]

The space station has science bays, research stations, engineering decks, hidden rooms, intrigue, deceit, immigrants hiding on board...It's so jam packed with ideas.

There's even a hydraponics bay where the oxygen is made and that shit can break down. You gotta maintain it.

[charred badge]

What, there isn't a team in charge of it?

[dry copper]

There is but they have other issues to address thanks to a corrupt hierarchy splitting the stations management and hiding other things

You're basically the nosey fifth wheel unraveling a series of corruptions

[charred badge]

While keeping the station from suffocating?

Lucky you crashed in when you did

[charred badge]

I would say it's unrealistic, but I survived 2020

[dry copper]

From suffocating, from being attacked by a super virus, from super solar flares, from terrorism...and on top of that your dude is having some sort of fucked up prophetic vision in his dreams

[charred badge]

Aren't they all

[dry copper]

Not to mention you don't have access to everywhere right away so you have to make your way up the social ladder, or trust ladder.....or steal keys...or hack control mechanisms

[charred badge]

Just once I want to see a main character with a happy prophetic dream that needs to make it happen

THE REAPERS ARE COMING gets a bit tired

[dry copper]

That picture of shrek looks like Will Smith's eyes, nose and mouth on James Gandolfini's head.

[charred badge]

Lol

I wonder if anyone ever did a QoL mod for Deus Ex 2

[dry copper]

Does nudity count as QoL?

[charred badge]

No. That's a basic mod feature

I wouldn't want to see xbox era nudity anyway

I remember the game being rather bland and tedious, but still kinda fun

Universal ammo was a pretty controversial choice

[cinder vessel]

wow, u're not into triangles? ruude

[dry copper]

hot polygons

[dry copper]

Do you think Cyberpunk will ever be as smooth as GTA 5 in terms of function, coding and NPC?

I want a MMORPG based on an east coast city.

Saints Row 3 was the closest I ever saw

Means they're selling a bunch of shit again

I think it's funny they have "Province of Skyrim" written on Hammerfell.

[austere lance]

Lol

[dry copper]

Hammerfell was at war with Skyrim in the War of Bend'r-Mahk

I love this guy. He's funny. It's weird.

I'm not sure he'd be able to do a full movie though. He's like a skit stain...full of skits smeared all over the place.

...but I'd like to see this character in a movie

im watching hamilton for the how manyth time again

and no matter how many times i watch i still don’t like the ‘tell me how to say no to this’ song

[stiff dust]

ahhh one last time gives me goosebumps everytime

its such a great song

[dry copper]

what do I feel like listening to, all of my regular rotation of bands aren't interesting me

[sleek cloud]

[prisma geyser]

while The HU definitely slaps

not feelin' it today x.x

oooooh last time I jammed lofi was the first hackathon I went to

[sleek cloud]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWcaPIOiD_0&ab_channel=OneAndOnlyBigSleep

[prisma geyser]

damn this is good too

I wonder if Onra is on spotify

ayyyy he is

I might just jam this at work all day

good recommendation @sleek cloud c:

[sleek cloud]

thanks to Spoitfy's radio feature

found so many good songs through that

[prisma geyser]

I haven't used radio in a hot minute

but my playlists are getting bloated and stale

[sleek cloud]

it CAN be really good most of the time

just pick a song, start a radio from that song and it will give you a playlist with songs similar to the genre of the starting song

[prisma geyser]

wait is this how I find more electroswing

last time I even looked at radio I don't think it was this good

[sleek cloud]

i use it all the time

[prisma geyser]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4ox2odCf0XL0g6692URWwe?si=NY8tAQT6QlGPmtCIxjdt3w fucking thank you for telling me radio isn't trash

this is great

[crisp sparrow]

imagine listening to radio when video already killed it

[prisma geyser]

nah talking about the radio feature on Spotify

FM radio is objectively garbage

[winter yew]

I mean it's just often songs on repeat

[sleek cloud]

radio feature creates a playlist based of the song you started with @crisp sparrow and you can find some real gems

[winter yew]

I place FM radio slightly higher than supermarket song playlists

[crisp sparrow]

can a man not make music references anymore now

[winter yew]

Because at least with radio you can change the channel and get maybe something different

Steam Game Awards 2020 winners announced

and it's a disappointment as expected

[dry copper]

My favorite electric swing is Booty Swing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco4z98nIQY

Swing dancing is the ooooonly kind of dancing

All other dancing is just pretend

[sleek cloud]

i can't stand the stupid tiktok 'dances' where they're just standing there flailing their arms about

[dry copper]

lol

The flip flops

Tiktokflipflop

and it's always oversexualized

There is one dancer I saw on tik tok I thought was fantastic...if I can remember who she was. She's a professional dancer tho and not doing bites

[sleek cloud]

ye i'm sure there is but it seems like it's the same generic cringy dance that always shows up

i'm no dancer or anything but it's quite fun to watch, i sometimes watch Matt Steffanina or something similar who can genuinely dance

[dry copper]

Yeah Matt has his own annual competition 😛

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=669&v=dnZBOwMHte4&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4wtNGR4Nnk

Taylor Pierce

She does some creative pop lock dance routines

https://www.tiktok.com/@taylor_thatdancer?lang=en

Also she has gorgeous eyes 🙂

This is my favorite from months back

You mean the primary fortnight dance resource?

Well, that and uncredited music videos from across the genres

[sleek cloud]

some incorporate the Fortnite dance stuff but it's usually someone flailing their arms around

just looks silly

[winter yew]

I know of a dancer you might like 😉

https://youtu.be/GYoJiJHrpqY

The dancer is ‘TakeSomeCrime’

[willow crypt]

appetizing

[charred badge]

Other way around.
Fortnite incorporates them

Sometimes they get salty enough to try suing

[sleek cloud]

Yeah

Floss is a major example to the suing part.

[raven frost]

[record scratch, freeze frame]

"Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation."

[dry copper]

Those old movie scenes make me want to write.

Not enough to actually do it (beyond discord), but still.

[inland grail]

@sleek cloud i feel like i saw u before

[sleek cloud]

hmm you have? here?

probably have thinking about it. i've been on here a few years, was only really active around the big updates

[inland grail]

i know one stef from another game i think lol

[sleek cloud]

i do remember speaking to a jordan a couple of time just don't remember where

[dry copper]

So, calling someone buddy while driving is road rage inducing, but telling him that you love him isn't?

[thorn dawn]

Stage 5 clinger in the making

[glass plinth]

Still cant beat my friends daughter that packed herself in a box in theback of the truck and took the display for her dads business meeting out and snuck into the truck for his trip

Seriously, 20 mins into driving , his daughter pops and and scared the shit out of him

She really grew up into a amazing person. Never afraid to take risks. Just one of those I am going to act sorta people.

So yeah, Im trying the nomad path on Cyberpunk and I must say, NOW I see what people meant it is a great path.

You can see they cut out much less of the diverse choice paths like they did for corpo

[sleek cloud]

https://www.gamebyte.com/cyberpunk-2077-reportedly-planning-no-mans-sky-style-comeback/ I can just imagine them ringing Sean Murray, asking for some tips...

[raven frost]

I think I talked about this a while back

please don't bring us into this mister cyberpunk

[heavy zenith]

er, sorry, i was going to come up with a better joke before i sent that

too late now i guess 😦

[sleek cloud]

https://open.spotify.com/track/6qCLnskghLZtClmEXJMrmo?si=6uJTKS7nTjK7esjuduKjpg

[raven frost]

... actually, no.

cyberpunk, DO pull us into this, maybe it'll boost sales for HG

and more sales inevitably means more content right?

[sleek cloud]

it will because some still might be oblivious to the current state of NMS and will want to check it out

[raven frost]

but yeah jokes aside I do hold by my opinion that cyberpunk and nms shouldn't be compared since their circumstances are completely different

[sleek cloud]

especially when you consider HG had 1 then 3 people working on it at the beginning

[inland grail]

i like cyberpunk

and its like no man's sky a game when i thought about is one i wanna replay

[sleek cloud]

same

[inland grail]

ok there bugs and glitch but there a shit ton of pottential

[sleek cloud]

especially with the incredible Night City they've created

[inland grail]

yeah

and im hooked to the characters in the game

[sleek cloud]

if you have it on pc and next gen console it's a brilliant game

[inland grail]

yeah i play it on pc

i did the street kid road

i need to do the Two other ones

[sleek cloud]

I went for nomad

[raven frost]

I thought nomad was gonna be more... fun?

like I thought that would determine a lot of what you did through the story

[sleek cloud]

Not much to it really lol.. I think corpo has more depth to it

[raven frost]

and by choosing nomad I got to see what life was like right outside the city limits

[inland grail]

does corpo change compared to street kid?

no spoilers but

does it kinda?

[raven frost]

instead I'm still stuck downtown doing whatever the fuck it is I'm doing until the game crashes

[inland grail]

in the 40-50 hours i played to finish the game

i never had a crash

[sleek cloud]

I'm not sure, still playing through nomad but hear that corpo just has more to offer I suppose

[inland grail]

im gonna try corpo

need to download the game

gonna take some time......

[sleek cloud]

I haven't had a crash in 20 hrs, just some visual glitches

[raven frost]

I'm gonna give it a shot on the vr pc as a test

[sleek cloud]

Imagine this game in vr

[raven frost]

wouldn't work very well with current equipment

[inland grail]

i wouldnt expect VR until

2022

[sleek cloud]

Wouldn't work well now, no but if it the devs did fully support vr for it by having you manually reload n stuff, could be incredible.

[bronze wind]

The way the origins work don't really affect much at all aside from like 30 mins in the beginning of the game

Some side quest options or romance things are probably a little easier with certain backgrounds but the rest of the game is literally identical

[inland grail]

i still wanna test them

i have this feeling of a bit of replayability

[sleek cloud]

Ye why not

[bronze wind]

I did a corpo run and then started a street kid one with completely different skills and it's basically the same except I can't hack as well since I opted for a high cool stat lol

And yeah do whatever you want obviously, I'm just saying don't expect much to change that substantially at all

[inland grail]

i hope they add stuff to the romance

i feel like there could be a lot added to characters

[sleek cloud]

You could change up gameplay style, loadout, set yourself challenges, rp or something

There will be dlc and I believe the first is free

[inland grail]

all will be free

hmm there a mod to make judy be able to romance as a male

[sleek cloud]

To think there's still multiplayer to come yet

[willow crypt]

they should focus on single player and omit multiplayer

not every AAA game needs it

a game will be a better product without it

[sleek cloud]

At this point and even before I don't think anyone was bothered about mp anyway

[willow crypt]

yeah

a majority of people who are into CP red aren't getting their games for the multiplayer

[inland grail]

to be honest im not mad at them

i didnt expected anything for the game i mean i knew it was hyped

and i hold on to the game and still do

[willow crypt]

personally haven't had any hype for it

[inland grail]

i wasnt hyped for it

and i liked it

[willow crypt]

i will enjoy it when i do decide to jump in, but i'm waiting until they make their 'comeback'

same with Anthem

did the same with FO76 (which is fun)

[inland grail]

its funny isnt

now people call games that could do a comeback

that they should do a ""No Man's Sky"""

[willow crypt]

yup it's crazy

[balmy plaza]

To think in 2016 how much the tables would turn

[willow crypt]

those first couple of months were weird

where we didn't know what would happen

[balmy plaza]

Oh yeah the silence

[inland grail]

i mean

sean said it to the dev

do like us

dont talk

just work on it

dont do an apologize stuff

[willow crypt]

👌

i mean we knew they intended to continue to support the game and it was a commercial success so 🤷‍♀️

They literally said as much in their posts, lol

[tardy burrow]

What is this game

[charred badge]

You can't immediately tell by the bug? Star citizen 😆

[tardy burrow]

It's still in its concept phase right?

[willow crypt]

that’s true Leon, i believed they would personally, but not the majority of players

[charred badge]

It's in Eternal Alpha

[tardy burrow]

Elite dangerous will probably be better

[charred badge]

Probably. I love SC for the bugs tho

[tardy burrow]

When it introduces ship interiors

[charred badge]

ED has a couple funny ones, but it's nowhere near SC level

Like the long time when NPC passenger ships would fail to leave a hangar and they'd get blown up for loitering

https://imgur.com/a/wyw0o

This was kinda funny too

[glass plinth]

Frankly excited

My home system has two thin atmosphere worlds I really want to visit

Frankly, starting ed over as a Xenobiologist methinks

[dry copper]

There's really no way for Cyberpunk to match NMS's return from the grave.

NMS was in a better state at launch despite what it was missing.

Cyberpunk has no base building

Hell. They couldn't even manage to add safe houses that were in their promotions

I'm just trying to imagine the sheer number of things they'd need to add (for free) to even come close to a NMS level return

A shit load of customization, tons of fixes, several major content updates, multiplayer....

[charred badge]

Cyberpunk is also tethered to a big publisher

NMS was in a rather unique position

[dry copper]

Meanwhile their stock prices are shitting themselves hourly

[charred badge]

Heh

You can see where people decided to invest a bit

[charred badge]

Worth noting that the infantry mode will have its own set of resources, and continuing your current save would probably help

[dry copper]

I love the story that stock investments tell

[charred badge]

If you got the Epic freebie, maybe try starting over there to see how it is first

In other news, I remembered that I really don't like the clunk piled on clunk smothering fun combat that makes up BDO

[glass plinth]

Fortunately Cyberpunk will do well eventually

All they have to do is deliver the game they planned over the next year

people tend to forget bad things with time

[charred badge]

X

[glass plinth]

They have short memories

LOL

[dry copper]

Investors are like porn addicts looking for adult content in a walmart. It does not matter how much fresh meat you find in the store....It's all dudes in unitards and seniors dressed like children.

[charred badge]

Oh, that. Yes the stock price will recover

[glass plinth]

As for ED

I got a new account on Epic just for the new start

Im psyched

[charred badge]

Nice

[dry copper]

I hope that Odyssey is amazing.

[glass plinth]

Im heading to my old rim system world i love

[charred badge]

Also hey, I have something exciting

[glass plinth]

I doubt it will be much more then a new grind to do the same things

Im not worried though

[charred badge]

A week long vacation

[dry copper]

I'm hoping that they add more variety to the grind

[glass plinth]

Im in it for the views on planet, thats all

[charred badge]

I'll be able to spend time soldering :D :D :D

[dry copper]

I don't mind grinding

[charred badge]

I'm ordering cirques

[dry copper]

As long as hte grind is fun

[glass plinth]

Eh, its just going to add, scavenging, mercanary work and biology exploration

thats about it

BUT, thats exciting to me

[charred badge]

It's still ED

[glass plinth]

Exactly

[charred badge]

But also climbing into a friend's ship

[glass plinth]

Fricking being able to get out of my ship and scrap a crashed ship will be amazing

[dry copper]

Imagine if they added a phylogeny table for you to discover and figure out

[glass plinth]

Scavenging has been high on my lists of desires of things to do

[dry copper]

What animals evolved to what where and when

[charred badge]

Just play starlink imo

[dry copper]

There's phylogeny in starlink?

[charred badge]

Such a good hovertank/space game

Kinda, yeah

There's comms chatter when you scan something new

[glass plinth]

Man, im not going to lie, Nomad start is the best in Cyberpunk

Its not even comparable to the other starts

[charred badge]

Scavenger is the best start in hardwar

[glass plinth]

clearly they didnt scrap as much content

[dry copper]

Free DLC #1: Suddenly you get to play out the missions that made Jackie your best friend.

Almost as if they were removed, and added back later

[charred badge]

DLC 4: Blood Dragon

[dry copper]

Go home Far Cry

[charred badge]

Lul

[glass plinth]

Well so far we know a few things that WILL be added back

Sewers, underground areas, 3 story arcs and a number of AI changes

I mean in the end, they had a gob of stuff almost ready to release before they preppred for gold release and they got canned

some of the devs were furious they released with the current police ai

[dry copper]

Why I can't cut it as a Youtuber
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUYQ4XX6ngg

[glass plinth]

they had it working until right before gold and when it bugged out they wouldnt let them fix it

Welp, Im going to do a fresh start on Nomad and have fun

Spent the time doing a skill planner build this time

Tinkerer-Pistol user

Hrmm, coors seltzer is actually really good

Enjoying the heck out of this raspberry flavor

[coarse swift]

Starfox makes Starlink real neat too

They integrate right into the story

[charred badge]

Huh. Are they included in the ubi freebie?

[coarse swift]

Switch exclusive, afaik

[charred badge]

Welp

[coarse swift]

The tradeoff is graphics

Starlink looks like a real pretty game on PC

[charred badge]

It does

[coarse swift]

But Switch doesn't handle a lotta the finer details

[charred badge]

And I can customize controls

[coarse swift]

Or resolution, even

[charred badge]

Which is helpful

Why do developers keep putting zoom on R3?

[coarse swift]

Thats where you aim

[charred badge]

but clicking throws off aim aaaaa

[coarse swift]

Just click without messing up the aim 4head

||I wish I could ||

[cinder vessel]

thank you!

any game heavily dependent on aim making you press right analog down is big aaahhh

||thankfully no man's sky doesn't really demand fine aim for much of anything||

[willow crypt]

mmm fog

[wide kestrel]

fog

[cinder vessel]

phog

[wide kestrel]

phoge

[austere lance]

Pressing down on it?

Every shooter I've played just makes me click the thumbstick or hold down LT

[charred badge]

this is why right stick is my go-to weapon change key

the only input I can think of that I will never need to aim during

[dry copper]

I hate needing to aim while holding down a mouse button

I'm like...dude...this gets intense my hand is gunna shake just from the sheer pressure

[austere lance]

Toggle aim is the most important setting in shooters, lol

[cinder vessel]

alongside sprint

and crouch

tbh toggling is just important in general

[austere lance]

Yee

[heavy zenith]

I figured out the hard way that press-stick-to-run is what causes stick drift on Xbox and press button failure on Playstation, at least on the controllers in my hands.

I've hated triggers for a long time but, if you have a controller with triggers, maybe move push-stick to rear-trigger before the sticks collapse/fail/break.

[austere lance]

Yeah I don't play games where I can't toggle sprint, lol

[cinder vessel]

how have I never heard of The Last Ten Seconds of Life

this SLAPS

[prisma geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA6Cg6arEb4&fbclid=IwAR23PTny9tfNB5j4Jv5iLBtoiDZ6BaxVlPltuL1Mlrjuh1ODlC7V9eDmCJQ if this man made this for a degree, fucking give it to him, holy hell that was good

alright, sleep time

[sleek cloud]

finally got a desk chair upgrade after about 6 years or so and it's so comfy 😛

[winter yew]

I finally found a good ark server on ps4 that isn't senseless pvp and toxicity

And it is PVP but your not allowed to raid white flagged bases since they're neutral

[dry copper]

@thorn dawn I like Andre Young, but I refuse to call him Dr until he gets a doctorate.

@sleek cloud I want the x chair. It looks nifty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mic_HK1TJj4

[sleek cloud]

looks good for your back

[thorn dawn]

are you ever gonna be pissed with you find out about doc mcstuffins

[sleek cloud]

Got this one

[dry copper]

That looks like poopy pie's chair but less "80s divorced mom looking for a younger man" textured.

I bet it's the same manufacturer

[sleek cloud]

looks very similar

[dry copper]

Does your chair say who the manufacturer is for it, on a tag?

I know China manufactures almost identical products and I wouldn't put it past an American retailer to buy Chinese and rebrand American.

[sleek cloud]

i think Yoleo?

[dry copper]

I checked half a dozen manufacturers and the standard price for the chair wholesale is $50.

YOLEO is a trademark of Shenzhen Xinbeidi Technology Co., Ltd.

Your chair was made in China.

Not saying that's a bad thing.

My above suspicion seems to pan out.

[sleek cloud]

most chairs are made over there

Secretlabs are made in Singapore

[dry copper]

To be fair, their manufacturing industry is the largest on earth. Saying most anything is made there, is kind of a given 😛

[sleek cloud]

ye

[dry copper]

For my part, I look at the products pricing and determine if it's better to buy from say a retailer selling Bigzzia, or a wholesaler...because China will sell individual pieces often cheaper than a retailer will

You can usually tell a retailer isn't forwarding their savings to consumers by the pricing of the chair

[tiny otter]

They’re all the same manufacturer

https://youtu.be/9Yhc6mmdJC4

There is evidence in this video

[dry copper]

The Bigzzia I found online on Amazon comes out to about 200ish Canadian dollars. Buying it from Shenzhen it costs $50 CAD. Shipping will likely be as much as the chair...So you'd end up paying $100 buying wholesale.

So that retailer is not forwarding the discounts they got for buying bulk to their consumers.

Not exactly wise in this market 😛

I would expect to pay about $150 for the chair if the retailer were forwarding discounts.

[sleek cloud]

i paid £120 i think

[dry copper]

Genius or lazy...I can't tell

Btw, latest update from CDPR re: rumor... https://twitter.com/ign/status/1346834172451676163?s=21

IGN (@IGN)

A CD Projekt Red representative has said that the recent rumors about Cyberpunk 2077's development decisions are "simply not true." https://t.co/41feToiCdK

[full pivot]

I was skeptical primarily for ripping on Keanu; it would make no sense for the guy to go off on that. Beyond that the other concepts listed, with that mindset, felt too wishlist-y.

[thorn dawn]

Still no new year update tho.

Speaking of reckless. Baby Yoda is a handful in Season 2, huh? Lol Mando needs to be more careful.

Btw, I really hope Cara doesn't return in Season 3.

[willow crypt]

baby yoda be ||threatening the race of the lizard people ||

[fleet moat]

It's funny seeing his character evolve as he ages.

[willow crypt]

sad we’ll never see him as a kid, cause everyone else will be dead

[fleet moat]

Kinda cute. Making him seem a little more "real" as a baby goes through his toddler years.

[willow crypt]

yes

[fleet moat]

What ya mean? Cuz how slow he ages? As in the series would be over?

Zug, did you make the art in your pfp?

Cuz it's so friggin awesome.

[dry copper]

Zug makes all art

[dry copper]

Zug is the dreamer.

[willow crypt]

i love this illustration of yoda

@fleet moat I wonder if CDPR realizes that fueling that conversation only lends credibility to it.

Looks like an elvish smeagel creature combo from a series like LOTR 🧐

Yeah. That was my thought too.

[austere lance]

Outriders got delayed to April, but there's gonna be a free demo in February and progress in it will carry over to the full game

[glass plinth]

Man, with all the supposed rumors from CDRP devs, mostly false, its hard to even track them anymore

The only info I rely on is mostly from the QA testers I know.

Its not like all that post which they claimed was false wasnt true

Some of it was pretty well confirmed by qa tests, some of it seems, well... shit

To many personal jabs

The part about Johnny having a original seems to exposition just added to make it seem real

[winter yew]

well OG Johnny died in 2076.

OG as in original from 2018 showcase.

So there were changes there as well.

Back when story wasn't really a thing. What's to say they didn't re-write the character to fit it with the story, especially after Keanu was so on board with it, that he offered his looks, his voice and his acting to portray it?

Not to say I hate anything btw, in fact quite the contrary, really grown to like him. Shame he's not, you know, ||a person||, but still.

just re-watched RANGO again, after I realized it was added to Netflix recently. I absolutely love that movie.

Bill Nighy as Rattlesnake Jake is one of the best things in it.

[glass plinth]

I really must admit Cyberpunk is one of my favorite wandering games Ive played in awhile

I love picking out a area and working from there. Sorta getting to explore it all

There is so much to see

Not as good a rpg in many ways compared to witcher, but still, very good.

Cant imagine how good it will be in a few years

[prisma geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlGslUWxR5s song I've been fucking hooked on for a while

[winter yew]

intense

[prisma geyser]

the fucking breakdown riff is spicy as hell

around 44s

[winter yew]

I'm still stuck on Killer Be Killed and GHOSTKID's albums

[prisma geyser]

Killer Be Killed is soooooooooo good

[winter yew]

hell yah

[prisma geyser]

haven't heard of GHOSTKID

[winter yew]

I didnt hear of him until this year thanks to Youtube's suggestions lol

apparently he was a singer in a band called Eskimo Callboy

[prisma geyser]

OH

that I've heard of

[winter yew]

but I guess they had creative differences and he wanted to go a more metal route x)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJbCnkFv0H4

[prisma geyser]

Eskimo Callboy is strange

[winter yew]

I really dislike that thumbnail

but the song rips

[prisma geyser]

oh this does, in fact, rip

I dig it

[winter yew]

there's another song on the album that has guest vocals from the vocalist of Heaven Shall Burn

and another one with Johnny 3 Tears from Hollywood Undead lmao.

which I thought was super odd

but it works i guess x)

[prisma geyser]

lmao that doesn't surprise me, I can hear some Hollywood Undead influences in this song

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/JQeqBbSXfm0

total different vibe here

[prisma geyser]

so I used to jam a band called Hacktivist really hard

[winter yew]

I heard of them 🙂

[prisma geyser]

and found out recently one of the founding members, their guitarist, left to start a new project

so I looked them up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsm1fYD-uo0

it's SOOOOOOOOOOO good

[winter yew]

oh hell

[prisma geyser]

Timfy James can do zero things wrong

man is an extended range legend at this point

get him and Joshua Travis to collab and I can die happy xD

[winter yew]

hehe

a slightly different genre but these guys have also been entertaining me

https://youtu.be/oo_H4p1xUWs

i have a major spot for this sound lol..

basically 80s rock with a bit of a horror-punk twist

WUGHIFAGUD WHAAAAAAA!!! ragey screaming

and that's fine c:

[winter yew]

Hehe

[prisma geyser]

they prefer pop music

we're hipsters in our own way 😛

[winter yew]

Indeed!

I don’t mind some poppy music

[prisma geyser]

https://open.spotify.com/track/7vxtxgtlAecGklW2gomanZ?si=KZyu1sl8SQWCZ1h_6fJu5A

currently the pop-iest thing I'm listening to

[winter yew]

But there’s a fine line where I go ‘ok too much!’

Ahh Gojira

[daring spear]

Ive been mostly listening to Poets of the Fall amd Smash Into Pieces the last few days

Poets is a given at this point probably lol

[prisma geyser]

never heard of either of those

best songs from both, go

[winter yew]

Think the ‘safest’ pop rock music I’ve been listening to lately is Enter Shikari https://youtu.be/EuvVOA8uvsc

Smash Into Pieces is hard to really place, they started out a little harder than they started going a more electronic rock route.

[daring spear]

Arcadia for smash into pieces prolly
Or let me be your superhero

Based on most lustemed it would be carnival of rust for Poets but also theres war, from the Alan Wake trailer
And a handful of songs from that game and Control
I dont have a favorite of theirs

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/5n6RoXsrQ84

My favorite from Smash

[daring spear]

Sweeet

I hope they do more acoustic things, the three so far are awesome

[prisma geyser]

I

fucking despise

the guitar tone

in that last video

it's overprocessed

but that's me being a musical dickhead

[winter yew]

Lmfao

You’d probably hate their latest stuff then

[prisma geyser]

like I'm a guitarist of over ten years, that tone actually HURTS

[daring spear]

Some of their stuff is a little over the top with processing

Yeahhhh

[prisma geyser]

but I won't knock ya for enjoying them, just not my thing ❤️

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/eb7dQAWhVto

[daring spear]

I've had Godsent stuck in my head for a while today

[winter yew]

I mean I love me some synthwave

[daring spear]

I'm not a big fan of big bang

[prisma geyser]

oh man if you want to hear the hottest take I have for music

[winter yew]

And I wish Arcadia was more like that

Lol

[prisma geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKgfcd6lqp4

this djents

[daring spear]

Arcadia is cool but could have been cooler

[prisma geyser]

pretty hard

[winter yew]

Nickelback has some gems

[prisma geyser]

I KNOW

I GET IT

STIGMA

listen to it

[winter yew]

But

[daring spear]

I like two songs off that album

[prisma geyser]

the riff djents

pretty hard

[winter yew]

Someone’s pissed off Chad lol

[daring spear]

What

[winter yew]

Auto correct thanks

[daring spear]

Lol

[prisma geyser]

like I don't normally like NB but I dig this song

[winter yew]

A lot of their latest tracks are pretty angry

[prisma geyser]

because that riff is kinda spicy

[winter yew]

And I read they were thinking of doing a harder sound for their next album

[daring spear]

I like
Must be nice. But I'm a sucker for songs that use nursery rhymes in them lol

[winter yew]

Lol

[prisma geyser]

oh

I was gonna try to gateway Spirit into djent

show you Tesseract - Altered State

[winter yew]

I showed you Orbit Culture before I think

[prisma geyser]

or maybe old Periphery

[daring spear]

I have to wait til tomorrow to listen to stuff

Later, technically. But yeah

[winter yew]

How old? (Btw I’ve been seeing hints that they may be re-recording P1)

[daring spear]

I'm always open to new music though
New to me I mean

[winter yew]

If you show him P2 or Alpha/Omega I’d be very happy xD

P3 and Hail Stan are kinda... over-ambitious

[prisma geyser]

@winter yew they will never re-record P1

they've said in multiple interviews they don't like it

and I say that as someone with Racecar lyrics and the Periphery logo tattooed across my back

that has wanted nothing more than to hear Racecar live, ONCE

[winter yew]

I wonder why Spencer keeps posting then sometimes deleting studio sessions where he’s singing newer takes on p1 songs 🧐

[prisma geyser]

wait

really?

[winter yew]

Yeah.

[prisma geyser]

maybe Sponce just digs it

but Misha doesn't want to

that much I know

can't say much for Jake, and after the stuff with Mark I don't know what he thinks

inb4 Misha, being a gaming and racing nerd, lurks this server, and calls me out on FB

[daring spear]

https://youtu.be/xfvtPTvuFTA

Eh I'll toss this one at you guys I guess

[prisma geyser]

...I actually really like the vocals

[winter yew]

This is all I can dig up atm

Gotta get ready for work

[prisma geyser]

have a good day Ace, stay safe ❤️

I appreciate what you found

because I could have sworn most of the band didn't like the idea

You’re welcome :3 if I can get a moment to dig up the videos I’ll link you

bout it

https://youtu.be/k0QsHKH77MI

This is also Poets but under theor fictional name for the Alan Wake/Control universe

I mean I guess it could also say that in the embed

[prisma geyser]

lmao

[daring spear]

Theres only one other one I know of from Control

[prisma geyser]

idk this feels Power Metal-lite to me

like Dragonforce but with their balls in a vise

[daring spear]

It fits the game segment it's in pretty well

[winter yew]

Boom found it hahah https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtML1wF-wX/?igshid=6gnefkf27fvt

Okay fine since I said it's objectively their best... Based on lostens and awards and such...

https://youtu.be/MKk1u5RMTn4

The video was named the best music video ever in finland basically

[winter yew]

And this was another; letter experiment https://reddit.com/r/Peripheryband/comments/j7ld8d/heres_spencer_singing_letter_experiment_from_his/

Ok I’ll be back later to fill your ear holes with tunez. Byyyeeee

[daring spear]

https://youtu.be/a5Nmrm6k_80 last one for now and only postinf this one cuz I was trying to learn to sing iy

It

The heck

[prisma geyser]

I'm so sorry spirit, I just don't think they're my jam x.x

I won't knock ya for enjoying them but we might have different tastes for earhole enjoyment

[daring spear]

I suppose

[prisma geyser]

I feel bad for voicing it that way though, because music taste is subjective

[daring spear]

Its hard to actually find the right ones to share cuz they have so many different styles all throughout. Nah I get it lol. Music is completely subjective, I don't mind if you don't like what I do

Hell, S0ul hardly even limes Poets lol

Likes*

[prisma geyser]

you said you can't listen to stuff until later

[daring spear]

Tru

[prisma geyser]

but I can give you some stuff I enjoy that might sound a bit similar, and see if there's a common ground

[daring spear]

I like a LOT of different things, dont worry about catering to the sound Poets has

[prisma geyser]

nah I meant generally, but for the more "spacier djent" stuff I can try to find a similar sound to them 😛

[daring spear]

Ive found similar bands to them I dont like, even haha

[prisma geyser]

like when I'm not listening to weird metal subgenres, I LOVE electroswing

[daring spear]

Ahh I see

[prisma geyser]

I'll jam that all day every day

https://open.spotify.com/track/4ox2odCf0XL0g6692URWwe?si=MudyS55DRaK9PCs2l1pFyw example I found yesterday

https://open.spotify.com/track/611WshW3yQKLCQ2pTCOii4?si=3mgMyUQyQYycg2NAeEbniA I found Loathe via a FB group and fell in love with their latest album, this is basically what metalcore "evolved" into cc @winter yew

[daring spear]

The whole thing with my obsession with Poets is more a comfort thing. His voice is easy on the ears for me and I'm a sucker for good vocal technique. Kind of a go-to if I need a calmer state of mind lol

I'm liable to lose all these links by the time I wake up later but I shall try to not do that

[prisma geyser]

fun cheat tip: search the most recent thing you remember saying in that channel

that's how I find some stuff I remember "saying" and noting the conversation right before it was relevant to my memory

[winter yew]

Meanwhile I’m jamming to this https://youtu.be/M18ktTn-O30

[daring spear]

I forget I can search when it matters and remember for pointless things lol

[prisma geyser]

that Firebird is fucking adorable

I love it

mb I'm spazzing over guitars

damnit Acey xD

[winter yew]

Lol

[daring spear]

Raven Age is pretty decent too
Btw

I know like one song off the top of my head but they have a good sound imo

[prisma geyser]

you don't have to find common ground with me either, I've just become a grizzled music boomer over the years and adjusted to what I think is "right" because I can be dumb xD

[daring spear]

The singer is like
The son of the Iron Maiden bassist (I think it was bassist)

[prisma geyser]

OH

well now I want to hear it

Maiden can do no wrong

[daring spear]

I found them last year after missing the chance to see them when we went to see Maiden
Because we didn't know who they were

In like... 2016?

I think

[prisma geyser]

oh I know those "missed bands" feels

I had the opportunity to see Beastie Boys before one of the members died way back when

missed it because I'm an idiot

[daring spear]

https://youtu.be/Kvb8QPiA6Lk

[prisma geyser]

intro is spicy

video in a church

I already like this

AND droptuned!?

[daring spear]

The Raven Age are an English metal band formed in London in 2009 by guitarists Dan Wright and George Harris (son of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris) it IS bassist

[prisma geyser]

THIS IS GREAT

never would've expected a Maiden descendant to droptune

but it's kind of expected for modern metal

[daring spear]

I'm trying to remember the band by Bruce's son
Something to do with lions

[prisma geyser]

bro this slaps

oh my gosh

[daring spear]

As Lions

[prisma geyser]

why have I never looked up Maiden's kids

okay that's poor phrasing

[daring spear]

Idk lmao

[prisma geyser]

but you know what I mean

like I listen for guitar stuff first

because bias

and this is still really good with obvious Maiden picking patterns

definitely ain't djent but damn if it ain't fun c:

[daring spear]

I listen for vocals
Because also bian

Buas

Bias

[prisma geyser]

bias

lmfao

[daring spear]

Got there eventually

[prisma geyser]

you might really enjoy Tesseract then

virtually no screams except for like one or two across a few albums

and they're accents

not like the main part

[daring spear]

I like a well placed scream that isn't too jarring

[prisma geyser]

Tesseract is PERFECT then

[daring spear]

Sweet

[prisma geyser]

I'll message it so you don't forget c:

[daring spear]

Yayy

Thank

[vivid flume]

What else is everyone playing?

[winter yew]

Cyberpunk

[winter yew]

Bouncing between Destiny 2 and whatever random game my friends want to play. Yesterday it was Titanfall 2

[prisma geyser]

I might dive in to Witcher 3 since I own it now, tomorrow night

[winter yew]

Playing Horizen Zero Dawn for the first time. This game is gorgeous.

[lavish obsidian]

planning out a build with a 3070 msi and i7 10700 (prices are a bit bad for the 5600x here)

kinda praying that i can find a 3070 in stock that does not look too gamer-y

[prisma geyser]

I saw a FE in stock a few days ago

but scalpers gonna scalp

I also can't afford it

[lavish obsidian]

i bet the price for that was close to 1k hahahah

[prisma geyser]

nah

Founder's Edition goes for approx $500

before resale

the subreddit I see that stuff on is r/buildapcsales

so if you trawl their /new section you can get incredible deals

[lavish obsidian]

ah yeah, importing that to korea will drive it up to atleast $600

[prisma geyser]

(NOTE: I may be wrong and misremembering)

[lavish obsidian]

looking for deals within korea rn

[prisma geyser]

OH

didn't know your locale

assumed US or EU

Korea import prices are a monster I've heard

[lavish obsidian]

def def

[prisma geyser]

if I may ask

because we've known each other for a while

are you an ex-pat or Korean national?

I only ask because your english is flawless

and you meme with the best of them

[lavish obsidian]

sure! korean national, but spent some of my childhood in georgia and cali but that was for a month or two

[prisma geyser]

hence my curiosity

Georgia the state or the European country

[lavish obsidian]

state hahaha

[prisma geyser]

oh lmao

I was born and raised in Douglasville, GA

[lavish obsidian]

oh where's that?

ahhh

[prisma geyser]

look up Lithia Springs, GA

about there

Clover (back when he was on this server) and I went to the same elementary school

that was a trip

[lavish obsidian]

yooooooo

nice

[prisma geyser]

and I didn't even know him until I became mod on this server

it was a wild ride

[lavish obsidian]

wild coincidence

i was in roswell i think

[winter yew]

I might peek into a newer gpu
