so, blizzard is actually balancing the game, but its for a shit ass chinese classic server

instead of the retail

https://tenor.com/view/clown-gif-25799821

shadowmeld being stupid for years and they do nothing

[green anchor]

that's the Chinese devs doing it

their version of the game is a completely different world (of warcraft )

[fierce elm]

Yeah dont confuse them

its an entirely separate thing

[worldly oriole]

its super joever lol

[lavish quest]

They also got like a couple customizable panther mounts I hear

[urban skiff]

Blizzard isn't doing shit with chinese WoW

it's an entirely chinese company who just has the rights to run the game in china

[green wharf]

how do we get that company to work on retail

maybe they can write a decent story

[urban skiff]

You don't want that

it's basically the Chinese government allowing someone to run a company in China

You get that, you also have to say farewell to anything related to blood/gore/bones/sex

[fierce elm]

Also P2W

: 3

[urban skiff]

also that

[fierce elm]

so yeah, no

[urban skiff]

daily reminder that the boosting is completely out of this world there

[green wharf]

how pw2

[copper fox]

Isn’t the Chinese rbg ladder like 5k

[urban skiff]

The ladder has people with 100.00% winrate at the top spots and like 500+ games played

[copper fox]

Or was

In df

[urban skiff]

And rating is 2k higher than you're used to

[lavish quest]

Just go play a game thats has based devs

: )

[sand sundial]

Like Marvel Rivals

[lavish quest]

China #1

[urban skiff]

Like VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE: BLOODLINES 2

[ebon steeple]

527 games played only lost one some ret LMAO

In the chinese ladder

[urban skiff]

that was actually a good fucking guess i made

didn't even look it up first

[lavish quest]

The chinese are just insanely good

[sand sundial]

Your grandchildren will speak Chinese

[copper fox]

No they won’t lol they’re going to speak another language

[sand sundial]

My friends love that game but I never tried it

[fierce elm]

I Speak The White Monster Ingredients List

[copper fox]

Same

[urban skiff]

I think it's an excellent game with a lot of flaws, that I still found immensely entertaining and immediately started a 2nd playthrough after doing my first without even waiting more than a few seconds after credits ended

Like the first it's going to be a cult classic eventually and the people hating it right now are the ones who came in expecting something else

Like a continuation of VTM Bloodlines 1, as if the story at all allowed for that

[green wharf]

3 asharans and only one gnome dead

fucking hell

[urban skiff]

what achievement are you going for

[fierce elm]

Gnome Slayer

[urban skiff]

There's an achievement discord where people group up to do this

There's a "bug" where for each member in your group has the same quest, the more credit you get per kill. So you go find 4 other people like you and hire death candidate + someone with rez

reduces it from 500 kills to 100 and you all tip the guy like 20k and retain your sanity

[fierce elm]

uhm thats not LEGIT

[urban skiff]

UHM AKSHUALY IF THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO DO IT THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT

i'm just goo goo ga ga for coco puffs

[green wharf]

but that would amke me feel bad

[ebon steeple]

A lot of folks are mad since in the early years of the game life it was shaping to be some what close to bloodlines 1. Fully no but close enough folks would be happy with it. Then they redid the whole game and gave it to another studio which is the one we have today. Also locking clans behind a pay wall was just dumb

[urban skiff]

Calling it bloodlines 2 was their only mistake

I thoroughly enjoyed the game and that's coming from someone who played bloodlines 1 at least once a year since it came out

[ebon steeple]

Bloodlines 2 isn't bad

It's like fallout 4. it was a great shooter game but not a fallout rpg

Bloodlines 2 is a great game for what it's trying to do

[urban skiff]

I found a lot of roleplaying happening

My first meeting with Lou on 2nd playthrough was completely different for some reason and I have no idea how it changed that much

[spice hornet]

Unsure. Everyone rerolled hunter

[wheat jay]

Nothing is known

Or set in stone

Too many changes and reworks

High chance warrior will be broken as it didn't lose anything while other specs lost few abilities, but that's pure speculation

@copper fox bruh what time are u qing???

I cant find a single lobby thats even my mmr and im qing after 10/11

[sonic heron]

Same

But we can do it man

[magic wing]

Arms will be S tier

Fury will be trash

[green anchor]

some top m+ player says the apex talents for fury are terrible

any random mechanic that forces downtime will punish your dps a ton

not sure how that will translate to pvp since they're nerfing cc

[sonic heron]

So arms s1 of midnight?

[lavish quest]

It will infact exist in s1 of midnight yes

[sonic heron]

Hopefully is going to be good

Next season no matter wut I will get the elite weapons

[magic wing]

Arent those pretty bad

[sonic heron]

I really like em

I think bliz is trolling actually

The orange weapon colour scheme is the elite while the purple that matches the elite set is the conquest:/

[copper fox]

2-4am

[lavish quest]

Such unemployed behavior

[magic wing]

Waaaaiit

Elite is the orange

???

[sonic heron]

Yes

I'm not trolling

I saw it on a livestream in beta

I can saw u tge exactly one to see it for yourself

[copper fox]

That’s the fun part. It’s unemployed behavior while being employed

Really good for you

[lavish quest]

Good for me? Lol
Maybe Tony has got stuff to learn from you

[sonic heron]

Is arms looking nice on midnight

I haven't really seen stuff

[sand sundial]

but then again, how can ppl rage in 2s lmao

[lavish quest]

I replaced my PC last week. So gotta reinstall stuff

[wheat jay]

its fun until like 2100

after 2100mmr its sweats and tryhards

[lavish quest]

Especially if I will dark and darker again

[sonic heron]

So to get 2100 is as easy as to get 1800 ?

[lavish quest]

By definition no, but depending on how good you are, it is essentially is

[sonic heron]

Oh ok

I'm doing my research

Kinda

[elfin surge]

im over that game

yo q overwatch?

[sonic heron]

Overwatch?

Do ppl still play overwa

Overwatch

I'm actually asking I haven't heard about overwatch since the launch of 2

[fierce elm]

q ur mom

[lavish quest]

I can sometime. Gotta install that then lul

[lavish quest]

If mud sends a pic of his mom, then maybe

[elfin surge]

no

[lavish quest]

Just play rivals instead

Ow but better

[sonic heron]

Rivals they are cooking with the characters

[lavish quest]

They have been making some fun tanks

And an OP as hell support

[elfin surge]

hell nah

[lavish quest]

Sure, stick to your mud hut rather than ascending to proper civilization

[sonic heron]

XD

Damm

[wheat jay]

what bracket

[sonic heron]

Well I'm at 1700 something

[lavish quest]

He means game mode

Basically

[sonic heron]

Let's say are 1800

[lavish quest]

Ss/blitz/3s/2s

[sonic heron]

I'm stupid sry

[lavish quest]

So is Artji, you good

[wheat jay]

shush noob

[sonic heron]

I'm thinking about both ss and blitz

[wheat jay]

let gladiators speak now

shuffle 2100 i'd say is similar to 1800, if you can manage 1900 you can manage 2100

[lavish quest]

Flexing you paid the cabal 10 years ago

[wheat jay]

cuz 1800 is that funny moment where people start to somewhat do damage

so if you can go from 1800 to 1900 you can get to 2100, as it will be mostly the same skill level

[sonic heron]

I just wanna the elite weapons next season. And first time I do rated :/

Ok ty for the information:D,

[wheat jay]

brother, i was sooooooooooooooooo close to buying glad wins

but nah

i got my shit with kargish

playing dog ass comp

imagine being kargish tho, you play S tier spec, you can pair with anything, ret/warr is absolute meta, but there's this guy playing dogshit spec, who doesn't pair with warrior in the slightest, and the responsibility for winning games is 90% on that guy

@fickle forge you actually got fucked lmao

[sonic heron]

https://tenor.com/view/marmota-cooking-hold-up-gif-5382607284931131048

[fickle forge]

It's why I am above them all

[wheat jay]

in all honesty tho

you got yourself an S tier survival player out of that

who's getting ghosted by his healer 24/7 so you never play

but point still stands

[lavish quest]

Best advice would probably be to just spam queue this season then

If you can get 2100 this season, you'll most likely be able to do it next season

[sonic heron]

I will try and train more in ss

[fickle forge]

https://tenor.com/view/aizen-plan-coping-kid-the-kid-is-coping-gif-26280717

[lavish quest]

If you can push past 2100 this season, 2100 next season will be cake

[sonic heron]

I only played 2 hours and got at 1800 rating

So yeah I will train more

[fickle forge]

Artji with the self proclaimed S tier survival is wild shit

[lavish quest]

Santi writing a novella over here

[fickle forge]

Catch the latest best seller

[fierce elm]

Why are we rewriting history like KFC wasnt a good comp back then

[fickle forge]

It really was not dude

[fierce elm]

It was a decent comp man

[fickle forge]

It certainly wasn't

[fierce elm]

It certainlt was

[novel crater]

Depends on skill level, for a new player they could feel a big difference between 1800 and 2100. If you’re a Glad player or higher you probably wont be able to tell the difference. Usually anything below 2400 in shuffle is just a rotation/cc thing. From what im reading, you are just starting with games, its perfectly normal and also a great goal to have! Try to get as many games/reps as you can. The only difference between you and us is desire, repetition and the fact that we q 4/5+ hrs each day. Q and watch streamers play you class at a high level while u wait the 80 min+ q time

[fierce elm]

and I will hold this opinion until I die

[fickle forge]

That is the biggest cap you've said yet bro

[fierce elm]

It is certainly better than what ret/warr is now

It definitely isnt lmao

[fickle forge]

Stop

[fierce elm]

I have said some mad sus shit to ragebait you and Artji

I am not here to discuss, merely to bait you into anger

[novel crater]

Kfc was good in WoD and before

[fierce elm]

And as such, I think Kargish is a subpar Warrior carried by a good hunter and a good healer when they got Glad

And Kargish is already better at MM than his Warrior like 4 weeks into learning it eith a total playtime of 8 hours

[sonic heron]

Ty 😊. I'm new to rating pvp . So I'm kinda nervous. But I will get it no matter what ;D

[lavish quest]

Yeah, Santi is only good because he has no life AND
I can't stress this enough, he plays gnome

[novel crater]

Props to you brother. All of us started in the exact same place, just grind it out! Try to play to improve and measure yourself vs the best players, if you do that, rewards will come with time

[lavish quest]

If he wasn't a gnome he'd be 1750

[novel crater]

Lmao

[elfin surge]

Yeah, Santi is only good because he has no life AND
I can't stress this enough, he plays gnome

[sterile moth]

Just don’t be afraid of failure, you’re going to get yelled at…just ignore it and keep grinding

[sonic heron]

I will

[sonic heron]

Looks cute

I will q even if takes the whole season

But I will take them

[lavish quest]

Do big dam

And at worst, reroll.

1600 war = 2400 mage. Trust

prayge

[sonic heron]

No

I will never play a mage

Warrior only ^-^

[lavish quest]

Here

[lavish quest]

Couldn't have been if you got glad with it

Check my math

[wheat jay]

Bad math

Got glad with pure skill and determination

[fierce elm]

see it works everytime

and he gets so pissed over it

[fierce elm]

this wasnt bait though

[wheat jay]

I get pissed when you're lying afro

[sonic heron]

If u go to tge streams the one called " midnight beta best class testing " is close to tge end

[fierce elm]

I think Artji was probably the best player in that team

[wheat jay]

Lmao this is funny

[fierce elm]

: )

I got queues with him latee

trying to piss him off

[wheat jay]

XD

Did it work last time?

[fierce elm]

It sort of did

[lavish quest]

simp

[fierce elm]

when we did thunder

[wheat jay]

Lmao

[fierce elm]

because we went 9-2 I think

[wheat jay]

Any desk slams?

[fierce elm]

Then went 50/50 as php because Kargish SUCKS

And my elemental > his hunter

[wheat jay]

Cuz hunter is somewhat hard to play well

[fierce elm]

Kek

[wheat jay]

Not sure about mm tho

As i only play surv

[fierce elm]

the only thing he has to hard focus on is scatter/interrupts/RoS

its ez

[wheat jay]

Trap?

He does solo traps,right?

[fierce elm]

Sometimes

[wheat jay]

Btw @lavish quest I gave up on mh world

[fierce elm]

He gets HoJ/Fears sometimes

[wheat jay]

I did all bosses solo with greatsword

But velkhana

Nahhhh bro

Fuxk that boss

Designed to be annoying

Or

I lock in hard

And suffer

[lavish quest]

Am I hearing a skill issue?

[wheat jay]

Anger management issue lmao

[sonic heron]

,that's a warrior talent :p

[magic wing]

Those look solid

[sonic heron]

I know

[magic wing]

Mainly the axe

And 2h sword

[sonic heron]

My fav are greatsword greataxe and polearm

[lavish quest]

Why you ask if I hit 2400 btw?

[boreal veldt]

they really did well with just some solid 2h designs, nothing crazy

2h axes need some love

[magic wing]

Idk random question lol

[sonic heron]

They remain me of wod primal weapons

They look brutal

[magic wing]

Wont pop visually like the current 2h swords with the elite tho

[wheat jay]

Cuz you got aura of a noob

[lavish quest]

At least I have aura

Noob

[wheat jay]

Stinky aura

[fickle forge]

Your rage bait really used to be better

[lavish quest]

Just jealous

It's okay

[green anchor]

that 2H mace and polearm are sick

i hate the tip of the 2H sword, ruins it for me

comical staff

[visual marlin]

Guys, I'm getting back into PvP and I'm having a lot of fun, btw, but I see I've lost all my sources of PvP-related content. Can you give me tips on players who offer playstyle advice, macros in general, etc...? Warrior arms btw

[graceful moon]

nothing like waiting for the enemy lock to fake cast

only for ur shitter healer to give him precog

[green anchor]

that's so me being ready to kick searing glare only to find out the pala already has precog when he starts casting it

or bubbles just so he can cast it freely

[honest sleet]

what does searing glare do

[boreal veldt]

piss me off is what it does

[green anchor]

pretty much

https://i.imgur.com/9gKFLg9.png

[honest sleet]

jeez

[boreal veldt]

your shouts miss too

[sonic heron]

I really like it because it reminds of greatsword of the inferno xD

Searing light is a flash grenade

[boreal veldt]

Even blinds your vocal chords

[green anchor]

it's actually game breaking in some pvp modes

kotmogu bg

your team holding 4 orbs, 1 glare cast and all 4 people die in those 4 seconds

in a game where you can die in 3 seconds through defensives it's ridiculous

glad it's gone in Midnight

also fuck precog lol

[boreal veldt]

it's not gone, is it?

[fierce elm]

: )

[green anchor]

Methylen guy said it is

[lavish quest]

Pre shatter and then kick

Noob

[green anchor]

show me how you do that

[fierce elm]

Glare is only gone for ret

so yeah

[lavish quest]

Thought it was a choice with rep

[green anchor]

that's fine by me

see Rets more than Holy

[fierce elm]

Hpala

[green anchor]

cause they're everywhere

[fierce elm]

For mow

now

lmao

[green anchor]

always will be like that

[fierce elm]

It doesnt change the fact that glare is an absurd ability

[green anchor]

I still firmly believe it will be the most played spec in even xpac/season

top 3

[lavish quest]

Warrior glare when?

[urban skiff]

just squint

[fierce elm]

You mean the spec that has always been a top 3 popularity will remain that?

crazy

[green anchor]

yeah?

[urban skiff]

the counter to glare (and blind) should be to turn around

[boreal veldt]

Pocket Sand pls

[lavish quest]

Rogue took it all for blind already

[fickle forge]

Give you the will to uninstall is what it does

[green wharf]

the addons would tell you that

[green wharf]

let me tell you that

i first though that was the case

cause its such a fucking obvious thing if you play any video game

[green anchor]

I don't use pvp addons

[fierce elm]

Pretty sure the base caster plates can show you when you can't kick it

[lavish quest]

Jokes on you, you can never kick it

[green anchor]

yeah it has that shield around the icon

[urban skiff]

Sounds like a win to me

Best part about glare is when you kick it and then rip the paladin apart before his holy school is unkicked so he can't even bubble

[fierce elm]

: 3

[urban skiff]

Or maybe that's just #enhancement privileges

[fierce elm]

You mean, cant press anything

at all

[urban skiff]

pretty sure he can continue to press S to backpedal

[fierce elm]

no it destroys my keyboard

[urban skiff]

as is tradition

[urban skiff]

explain this wear pattern

[fierce elm]

what the hell

thats mad confusing

[urban skiff]

B untouched, WESDCVNM shift ctrl alt completely demolished

and G and L showing spots

[fierce elm]

cant wait for tomorrow

[urban skiff]

me too

that's a great priest mog

I mean I complained ages ago and got a complete new keyboard sent to me so I just need to replace keycaps and it's a nice board for my kids

But then I bought two wireless keyboards (same kind) on sale so I have like 4 of this keyboard somewhere right now

[lavish quest]

You can eternal flame

:)

[urban skiff]

keep healing, like a tool

[lavish quest]

Imagine a Wednesday reset lul

[urban skiff]

don't you guys have reset during prime play time?

imagine paying for that

[lavish quest]

Idk man

I have a job

[urban skiff]

i might have gotten one

[lavish quest]

So it's usually all set and ready by the time I get home

[urban skiff]

some guy wrote to me today, now I have an interview tomorrow

Some R&D gig in heat pumps, sounds cozy

do a bit of math, secretly automate the math and coast through the next 3 years

If LLM gets good enough I might be able to completely automate task intake and input into my math box and respond with resulting output and then I can pick up a bartending job in the Philipines

[lavish quest]

Eeeyyyyyy yuge

[urban skiff]

I mean not that huge

[lavish quest]

You moving to the Phillipines

?

[urban skiff]

I wanted 3 months break but this is within walking distance

[urban skiff]

bartending job would have to be remote

[lavish quest]

Uhhh

We're not thinking the same bartending

[worldly oriole]

servers up or na

[lavish quest]

Usually an in person gig

[lavish quest]

Jobs up

[urban skiff]

Nah I was just kidding about that, as a way to hype up my hopes of automating the job

is this the most underwhelming game I've played in recent times?

[boreal veldt]

love the idea of just zoom calling someone and coaching how to make a mojito so i don't have to make it

[fierce elm]

its so fucking awful

[boreal veldt]

make em hate mint like i do

[urban skiff]

the 5.1 hours is a lot of time in character creator while afk to fix food for kids and stuff

[fierce elm]

Bethesda can't make great games anymore

its fucking over

They rode the mediocrity that is vanilla Skyrim to feed their pockets

made a mediocre fallout game that isnt fallout and a bad fallout game that isnt fallout

[boreal veldt]

new vegas was their last good ride

[fierce elm]

You mean the game that wasnt theirs

[boreal veldt]

damn

[fierce elm]

I fucking despise Bethesda as a company

[urban skiff]

Tbh oblivion remade was really good

[fierce elm]

You mean the remake that wasnt theirs

[urban skiff]

I didn't play it but made my niece play it while i coached her so

[fierce elm]

It is literally outsourced to another company lmfao

[sand sundial]

people were swearing up and down that this is an upcoming goty, how goated its gonna be lmao

[green anchor]

I have 0 hopes for TES 6

[urban skiff]

It's so forgettable I can't even remember what year it came out and what other games it was up against

[urban skiff]

I have negative hopes

[fierce elm]

It was up against BG3

so it stood no chance

[urban skiff]

It's getting the same treatment as the witcher show post-cavill and the dexter show after they jumped the shark

[boreal veldt]

morrowind > obliv > skyrim was a generational run and theres no shot they hit it again on tes 6

[urban skiff]

BG3 is so much better than everything else that they should have kept it fair and removed it from the pool

[fierce elm]

But yes, Bethesda has shown themselves as incompetent forever

And its crazy that this studio is still ranked as a decent studio

[lavish quest]

Forget the big studios

[fierce elm]

and not just cash grabbing freaks that can't make a great game anymore

[lavish quest]

They all ass now

Embrace rock and stone

[sand sundial]

indie and the occasional AAA is the way

[boreal veldt]

louder for the backrow

[fierce elm]

Unfortunately both the Fallout and Elder Scrolls IP is theirs

[urban skiff]

Easy, studios are ranked by profitability despite the profitability having absolutely nothing to do with quality of games from our side of view

[lavish quest]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-hop-on-deep-rock-rock-and-stone-gif-27368158

[fierce elm]

So I have to pray that they release Fallout new vegas remastered

[green anchor]

FO3 first

[urban skiff]

I wanted to, but never had anybody to play with

feels like the kind of game that is best with friends or acquaintances drunk

[lavish quest]

Same.

verysadge

But I play it solo anyways and just with randos

Still fun

[green anchor]

just like wow

:saj:

[urban skiff]

There's a lot of people in here I'd love to play other games with, just like a oneshot evening thing.

Get together and play PICO or REPO or Helldivers 2 half-drunk

[lavish quest]

Wut is pico?

[fierce elm]

I want to paly RV there yet

That shit looks hilarious

[lavish quest]

I got helldivers

[lavish quest]

I also have peak

[fierce elm]

PICO is a game about hating your friends

[urban skiff]

isn't pico the game that they accidentally made free for everyone forever and now they're rolling with it

[green anchor]

I grabbed ARC Raiders yesterday

[lavish quest]

Never heard of it

Pico that is lol

Arc, I've heard good things about

[urban skiff]

My backlog is so long now, there's no room for buying new stuff for a while

[lavish quest]

Same tbh

[sand sundial]

ai slop

death

[lavish quest]

verysadge

[green anchor]

AI slop?

that's the new COD lmao

[sand sundial]

cod in 2025 LOLOLOLOL

[lavish quest]

They used ai for some of the voice acting stuff so people malding

[boreal veldt]

i feel you, brotha i only finally played devil may cry 5 a month ago

[sand sundial]

smth is wrong with you if you like any sort of AI in anything imo

[urban skiff]

Playing hogwarts with my kid, got SIFU, expedition 33, SCORN, probably ninja gaiden 4, Elden Ring Nightreign, disco elysium, doom (all of them)

[sand sundial]

or u are not very well educated

[lavish quest]

Because...?

It's happening whether we like it or not lmao

[fierce elm]

Oh no, they used AI : (

[fierce elm]

Also this has to be bait

[green anchor]

that's a nonissue tbh

[urban skiff]

Currently having so much fun with VTM:Bloodlines 2 that I immediately started a 2nd playthrough and have to do that too

[sand sundial]

you both deserve data centers and increased electricty cost behind your backyards

[fierce elm]

kek

[urban skiff]

But I also need to hit 1800 on dk + dh + probably other clases i can't remember, need to finish remix

[sand sundial]

literally does nothing but fuck over regular folk

[lavish quest]

Welcome to every technological advancement ever

[sand sundial]

except

its a net negative

without any positive

[boreal veldt]

just no time to enjoy these anymore, i really want to pick up the ff tactics remake too

[sand sundial]

increased electricty and uses drinking water for...?

[urban skiff]

Even though I have a lot of time available I find myself unable to enjoy the time I spend on this useless shit

Which is probably a testament to my need to take a break before my next job but w/e

[boreal veldt]

Yeah it's hard to enjoy a good story/gameplay if your mind is somewhere else

[fierce elm]

darn computers replacing me > : (

[urban skiff]

There's something about how gleefully techbros think they can replace skilled work with gadgets that just rubs me the wrong way completely

[sand sundial]

and using drinking water and electricty

[fierce elm]

I am gonna be of the devils advocate opinion, if your work can be entirely replaced with AI your work was eventually going to be phased out one way or another regardless

[urban skiff]

Like my brother in law insisting that slapping a steak in a sort of panini maker yields BETTER results than just cooking it normally

[sand sundial]

6 trillion more bro agi so close bro!! we'll be profitable for SURE!!

[lavish quest]

I mean I'd have to check the numbers, cuz I'm pretty sure all that stuff is heavily exaggerated

[fierce elm]

And take a grey zone area of understanding that these technological advancements will have good things with it and bad things with it

like all technological advancement

[lavish quest]

And it doesn't matter, it's happening whether we like it or not

[lavish quest]

All tech advancement is a profit loss at the beginning

[urban skiff]

And the way they do that with everything, makes me wary of what LLMs can actually do. My assumption is that it's a bubble and a product looking for problems it can solve and I don't think it's going to find a profitable problem.

And then collapse of our pensions and index investments and just, fuck techbros

[fierce elm]

Crazily enough you are allowed to have a grey opinion on stuff and it usually is the most sensible one

[sand sundial]

literally only thing AI ever does and will ever do is

make corporations more money

[fierce elm]

woah no way

Literally only thing worker bees ever do and does is make corporations more money

[lavish quest]

Like every advancement ever?

Think about how many jobs cars took

[fierce elm]

Think about how many jobs the internet took

lmfao

[boreal veldt]

No one read between the lines when they said "learn coding and you'll have a job" like it used to be "learn to type and you'll have a job"

[sand sundial]

as long as you are ok with watching ai slop and a giant data center in your backyard sucking up your energy and drinking water all is good

[fierce elm]

You can just avoid the AI slop quite easily

[urban skiff]

Is why my end goal is to make my own company. And profit share with all employees equally.

Go back to the roots where company meant you banded with other people to make more money rather than feed fatcats so far up the ladder you can't even see him shit on you

[fierce elm]

Source: I have zero AI slop on any of my algos

[sand sundial]

100 trillion more to nvidia

[sand sundial]

u forget how dumb the avg person is

[lavish quest]

What makes the AI problem unique from previous huge advancements?

[fierce elm]

Also my countries electricity price is not due to AI and wont ever be about that

so yeah

weird

[sand sundial]

"it doesnt affect me" is such a privileged point of view lmao

[fierce elm]

??

[boreal veldt]

my delusion is my naive belief that this isn't true

[fierce elm]

We are self-sustaining by a huge amount and the majority of our LOW pricing being higher is due to Germany

[urban skiff]

I'm so dumb i forget how dumb i am

[fierce elm]

So yeah, it doesn't impact me

[boreal veldt]

same

[fierce elm]

and I am allowed to think that lmfao

[sand sundial]

would you have this same exact stance if youre one of those guys on the news who has a ai data center in their backyard

[fierce elm]

Brother what

[urban skiff]

This sounds like an american problem

[fierce elm]

'Oh no this guy doesn't agree with me so lets paint an entire narrative where he is pretending to be someone entirely else in another part of the world so he will agree with me!'

[sand sundial]

if it directly affected you, like it does effect some people, would you still think the same way

[fierce elm]

If I was a kid in a poor country I would despite the world for far more issues than AI

[sand sundial]

is a pretty simple argument

[fierce elm]

OBVIOUSLY NOT

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[lavish quest]

Every huge advancement like this has winners and losers.
What is the reason to care about this one more than others?

[sand sundial]

ok gg ty

[fierce elm]

What is your opinion about cars

Electrical or not

actually any sort of moving vehicler of any kind

[lavish quest]

Afro going with my car point

[fierce elm]

GOD I fell into the bait slime again

[fierce elm]

he wont respond

[urban skiff]

The world is a fundamentally different place where the end goal seems to be to make all the people we made redundant with no plans on how to feed them

[lavish quest]

The AI SLIME

[urban skiff]

That spells a distaster to me

[fierce elm]

but I was going to say "If your entire family got killed by a car would you still have a positive idea around cars"

[boreal veldt]

a tale as old as time

[fierce elm]

lmfao

WIND keeps bait sliming me

[boreal veldt]

[sand sundial]

another 200 trillion to nvidia

[urban skiff]

If you want, I can give you some clean bait

[sand sundial]

LOLOL

[boreal veldt]

everytime afro gets baited nvidia stockholders cheer

[lavish quest]

Who made the call on this end goal?

Or is it merely an assumed end goal

[fierce elm]

hey chatGPT how should I ask the president of the comapny I am interning at to hire me in January

[boreal veldt]

grok does this work?

[urban skiff]

Do you see how gleefully the techbros talk about making all people redundant?

[lavish quest]

I own some nvidia

Keep pumping bois

[urban skiff]

It's giving me the icks

[fierce elm]

I just want to earn enough money to never buy non-brand name Coca Cola Zero

[fierce elm]

Have the techbros ever been you know, human?

[lavish quest]

Cars made a shit ton redundant too

We adapted

[urban skiff]

Something about how all the billionaires are building bunkers and they're talking about brain chips and explosive collars to cull mutiny is just no bueno

[lavish quest]

I own a lil coca cola too. Keep pumping king

[urban skiff]

they're not human to me

they're to humans what LMMs are to actual AI

[lavish quest]

It's always "this time is different."

Why live life so stressed needlessly?

[fierce elm]

Im just vibing tryna not shock my fingers off

Its a pretty good life knowing my career and work will never be not needed

[lavish quest]

But the robots

[urban skiff]

I think it's worth worrying that it's different this time.

The alternative is that we worry for nothing and everything turns out. There's room to worry that this time is different, since the consequence is crushing poverty and hunger across most of the world

[boreal veldt]

As a bartender and stage actor it's a good life knowing my work will never be needed

[fierce elm]

The robots aint gonna slither beneath a house listening to my handler knock against he floor so we can figure out where the fuck we need to drill

[lavish quest]

Or just not worrying, the point I was getting at

[urban skiff]

I mean, no?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lzS69BBOXhw?feature=share

But you might have one of these following you around to deliver a deathblow if you don't do your alloted hours of daily work to prove you have to stay alive?

[lavish quest]

But the robots will build the whole house in a factory and ship it to you so thats not needed

Ez

[fierce elm]

cant hate on that

gotta keep the people in check

[boreal veldt]

Oh good i can amazon a lobotomy

10/10

[lavish quest]

This ship sailed 200 yrs ago and we all worrying about it now

[urban skiff]

couldn't worry about it 200 years ago, wasn't alive then

couldn't worry about it 5 years ago, we had to worry about covid

[green wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/pronouns-merry-christmas-2023-christmas-fucking-pronouns-gif-6332164812662115486

[urban skiff]

couldn't worry about it 15 years ago, we had a crushing once in a lifetime economic crisis

[green wharf]

it was good cause it made the meme of this guy

[urban skiff]

There's never a good time to worry, but this is a case where it's better to worry than assume everything will be fine

Being wrong would be catastrophic

[green wharf]

game was so shit he broke 3 and a half hours in

[urban skiff]

https://youtu.be/jLOuMXnM5wk

Haven't watched this video yet. But I'm gonna try and follow this exact method to get better at PVP

Could be fun, or the advice could be completely incompatible with how pvp works

Either way, time to get stupid'er

[lavish quest]

Which looking back we see we worried about way too much and the worry did sizable damage

[urban skiff]

Worry is the wrong word. Worry means you wring your hands and pull hair out of your head

More like it's worth thinking about the problem and share the problem with others and talk about solutions

[lavish quest]

Whatever word you want to put to it doesn't matter much, the point stands

[urban skiff]

Now is the time to crowdfund potential solutions before techbrOverlords sends out kill drones based on your internet searches

[lavish quest]

The reaction to covid was exaggerated and did more damage than if it had not happened to that degree

[fierce elm]

havent watched it yet but will implement

you are so cute

[urban skiff]

I mean; I have plans for where we can move (prioritized list) in case Russia starts walking into Europe. It's only sensible to be prepared for these things

[urban skiff]

I'm a distraction

don't look behind the curtain

[boreal veldt]

a cute distraction

[urban skiff]

My wife's lungs are completely ruined after covid

If I could pinpoint the exact person who shared that shit with her I'd would pull their teeth out through their asshole (not sensual)

[fierce elm]

(entirely sensual)

[lavish quest]

I'm talking about world/societies as a whole

[urban skiff]

(medium sensual)

[boreal veldt]

i've met so many people with a chronic cough that never got better after* covid

[lavish quest]

Not individual cases

Some people are more vulnerable to the flu than others

Should the same thing happen for the flu?

[urban skiff]

the world and societies survive an overreaction

[lavish quest]

Survived. But it did more damage

On several fronts

[urban skiff]

It's completely nonsense to worry about if a reaction to something deadly or crippling is over the top by a lot or a little, but you never want to be exactly at the spot or under the ideal

[lavish quest]

Economically.
Socially.
Etc

There is a cost, it's not "free"

[urban skiff]

Tax the rich, there's the econimic damage covered

provide some therapy, there's social cost covered

bam, solved

[lavish quest]

Not exactly how that math works, but sure lmao

[urban skiff]

The top 0.1% controls 50% of the wealth, it's quite literally how that works

[lavish quest]

What's done is done, we paid the price, we gotta deal with the consequences. Which may be around for a while

[urban skiff]

Tax them and be done with it

[lavish quest]

It's such a poor and primitive "understanding."

[urban skiff]

if i hit 2400 we support taxing the rich

ok?

[lavish quest]

Even forget the money.
You can't just make up for tue social and psychological damage of covid with "provide some therapy bruh"

[urban skiff]

@fierce elm

[fierce elm]

hello

are we anarchist posting rn

[urban skiff]

tiktok/instagram deals more damage to society than covid isolation ever could

[urban skiff]

always

[lavish quest]

Ye. But genie out of the bag

[urban skiff]

also afro release those epstein files, I want to see Dump blow the horse

[fierce elm]

BUBBA

[urban skiff]

CAN'T SAY BUBBA WITHOUT BUBBAJOB

[lavish quest]

Also NYC trying the tax the rich more thing. Not going great for them thus far

Florida real estate agents tho.
They doing pretty well

[fierce elm]

tbf they just got rid of Cuomo

[lavish quest]

And put in Mamdani lmao

[fierce elm]

Yeah, not responsible for a bunch of covid 19 deaths

[lavish quest]

Still not great

[fierce elm]

Also, corruption, sexual harassments

Various racism and phobias allegations

[lavish quest]

I'm not some Cuomo fan lol

[fierce elm]

I know

[lavish quest]

But problem is still proble.

[fierce elm]

I hope nobody is a Cuomo fan lmfao

[sand sundial]

mamdani aint in office yet

[lavish quest]

Yeah. But can have foresight.
Not to mentionthe election has already had some effects.

Funny that he can do most of what he said he was going to anyways

[urban skiff]

Why not? The guy isn't even in charge yet, tax them as much as possible. They won't leave New York lol.

Where would they go? Austin? Lol

[fierce elm]

Some other country lmao

[lavish quest]

Just zug zug and if u die (even behind a pillar) its your healers fault for not pressing W with u

[sterile moth]

I do feel like healers go out of their way not to play optimally with warriors at times just to prove a point

[honest sleet]

most healers eat too much soy

they’re estrogenated beyond belief

you think their W key is unbound

[sterile moth]

Zug Zug more bro! Turn your monitor on BRO

[honest sleet]

i hate passive healers

[sterile moth]

Did we just become best friends?

[honest sleet]

even more than the resto druids that i get who perma cast cyclone over healing me
