streamchat

[brazen drift]

you wanna talk in depth about those guys videos go to DMs

[river cargo]

coding jesus didn't start this

[brazen drift]

since everythings already been said

[river cargo]

there are bigger fish to fry

or atleast like, bigger fish to focus on

maybe not like literally

please don't ban me for that lol

[wispy plover]

And yet he survived. The drama just kicked back up due to Ross and company.

The more Thor presses on, the more it gets under their skin that he can still have success.

[indigo wadi]

The bigger fish don't need to be focused on.

[brazen drift]

I'm just going to do what I have done and ignore them, because eventually Karma will do a justice

[indigo wadi]

Truest of trues

[winged knoll]

they both mentioned each other every day

Venri healthy relationship

[earnest spire]

they can cope that he doesnt have more but it is what it is

[vivid maple]

idk but lately all i have been recommended was slop content from quin and company

[late bane]

i watched the coding jesus video and think he's very plainly a grifter, he's even trying to promote his website to sell people "coding questions", ai thumbnails for videos that tell people not to get a degree if they want a career in CS

[dry osprey]

Logical thinking hurts most people

[late bane]

i hate all of this drama

[vivid maple]

and i dont watch quin

[gaunt remnant]

I mean that is literally what I thought. So many people are brigading against Thor for what? Alledgedly lying, being deceitful and having an ego? That's what deserves all of that? Not all the content creators who have conducted actual horrible criminal activities?

[brazen drift]

its why i keep hitting "not recommend channel" every time they pop up

eventually i'll block em all like pokemon

[vivid maple]

that works most of the time

[dry osprey]

I dont get any of those videos recommended

[vivid maple]

but its the times the algorithm will just put it up randomly

[dry osprey]

If i get em i know its just another witch hunt youtuber 🤷‍♂️ At this point i really dont care anymore

[brazen drift]

ive gotten a couple here and there. doesnt bother me tho just takes a couple extra seconds out of my day to block it, laugh at them, and move on

[shadow dawn]

Gotta block 'em all!

[dry osprey]

Get that stuff outta there

[river cargo]

If thor was actually lying, then I could see where they're coming from....but the issue is that he's been proven correct repeatedly and they still press on with the narrative. Even when thor is mistaken, he releases an apology and they act like that didn't count

[brazen drift]

i only dont block the people who aren't going out of their way to be malicious. if they're just ambiantly talking about it and being neutral thats fine

[wispy plover]

I get to block one daily. It's almost fun at this point. It's like having ice cream in your freezer at home while you are at work. And you cant stop thinking about it. And you get home and you finally get to have that little treat.

[vivid maple]

videos like this show up out of nowhere when i dont even watch any related content

[fierce bison]

Bayonetta ❤️

[dry osprey]

Fact. I only diddnt reported one and i think it was quin? Or how he is written. He tried the heartbound demo and really enjoyed it

[shadow dawn]

Also, as Mr. Softhair, Goblin Lord Extraordinaire himself has said: "this, too, shall pass"

[indigo wadi]

Algo pushing new stuff

[gaunt remnant]

This video must have been posted from Internet Explorer because this topic had been overused 4 years ago already

[brazen drift]

even if it takes a couple years it'll die down

[shadow dawn]

Ayo that looks like it should be on my feed, what

[vivid maple]

i also get this in my recommendations

[dry osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/attention-notice-me-please-notice-me-need-attention-notice-me-senpai-gif-19829808

[brazen drift]

eventually people are gonna come in being like "weren't you that guy who got mad dogged?" and they'll never remember what the context was because its all petty and forgettable

[muted robin]

side note but this makes me mad bc they're literally both biblically accurate ppl are just posting about commonly known religious information (to people who actually study/practice) and soyjack pogging as if it's some secret mysticism 💀

[gaunt remnant]

Yep, that's most likely what's going to happen

[wispy plover]

Nearly every streamer you know has some sort of hate brigade following them or some sort of drama. If they don't... they don't YET.

[gaunt remnant]

Just have to wait

[indigo wadi]

The internet never forgets

[river cargo]

but generally those people do something awful for that to occur

like asmongold and his statements(wont discuss further)

[fierce bison]

that's how you know as a streamer you've "made it"

[river cargo]

in thor's case he just explained his points

and the entire internet got mad

[dry osprey]

They still bring up wow drama that happend months ago.

[vivid maple]

oh and this video keeps popping up in my feed every few months

[wispy plover]

Yeah. His crime was having an opinion on the internet.

[buoyant thistle]

Yeah, trying to figure out what is going on. I got i think a decent understanding of it.

Heard a lot from moist critical about the stop killing games movement and you were against it?

Doesn't make sense when well.. you build and create games?

[river cargo]

moist misunderstood the initiative

[wispy plover]

At least be thankful that that was his crime and he didnt do something actually awful.

[gaunt remnant]

Remember when Dan Avidan from GameGrumps got accused of being a groomer? And after they chose to not say anything about it for a whole week, the subreddit who launched the rumor apologized and admitted it was all bullshit?

[shadow dawn]

Also, friends, i know this isnt the thunderdome but:
Friendly reminder to hydrate, eat something if you havent in the last few hours and stretch
Also if you need to, go take a breather

[river cargo]

proceded to flame tho over it

[thorny cloud]

I'm gonna be real with you, that isn't likely to happen until some major variable in the equation changes.

The hate train for Thor has been ongoing for almost a year now.

Most internet hate is about a flashpoint moment that dies down and then people forget about it and move on.

This particular drama has been ongoing for so long because something Thor is doing or saying keeps striking a nerve with people.

[reef geyser]

See Empyrian and water. Love that dude and he was dragged by people who don't understand context. He survived massive backlash from his primary community, and is bigger than ever today.

Thor isn't going down, and there's nothing they can do about it.

[vivid maple]

i swear sometimes the algorithm likes to screw around with me literally

[fierce bison]

yeah if anything, this drama acted as a iq high pass filter on his community

[gaunt remnant]

No it's because nothing really happened on the internet that the internet deemed to be as important or more important than this. Once something will seem more important, they'll change boat and it will all die down very quickly

[brazen drift]

I wonder how well a completely silent stream would go on thors end? Like. Literally put the black and white filter on with some public domain ragtime music.

[shut ocean]

wasnt it the opposite?

[wispy plover]

Sorta. I heard about it after it happened and kind went "Oh... anyway"

[brazen drift]

they'd still get mad as hell proabbly, but he aint exactly saying anything

[dry osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

My fav gif

[river cargo]

people ran with narratives against him, and he debunked them, and people didn't like his debunks

[thorny cloud]

You're saying Thor has gotten hate for almost a year because trolls simply have nothing better to do? Becaues that doesn't seem very likely, man lol.

The internet is a big place and there is nowhere near a shortage of things in the world to be upset about.

[wispy plover]

But he's an easy target.

It's low hanging fruit for the simplest of people

[earnest spire]

just the occasional person

[hazy storm]

Its not likely but unfortunately it's happening. New trolls get created and fed into the machine every incident like a botnet

[thorny cloud]

Precisely - they don't like them because for a lot of people, they don't seem genuine. They seem like he is being evasive or passing the buck in some way. He has gotten that critique more than once from more than one individual.

It's why defending himself and giving evidence isn't making the situation better.

[river cargo]

I think political streamers like hasan, asmon and destiny(deserved imo) get more hate than thor since they get actual targeted assassinations and stuff

but thor has also not done anything criminal

[fleet olive]

Doesn't help there's a certain forum that has their eyes on him.

[vivid maple]

https://tenor.com/view/james-may-cock-gif-5513219

[river cargo]

on the contrary, defending himself will help build up an argument for the fence sitters to see why his "critics" are spouting bs

[vivid maple]

you mean hasan the terrorist sympathizer

[thorny cloud]

I mean, when? We're a year in on this doubling down tactic and it isnt producing any fruit yet lol.

[fierce bison]

whoever sees it that way is probably not target audience

[shadow dawn]

Not defending himself and being silent about it also wont make it better, and theres proof for that

[muted robin]

i've heard lots of wise people say that public debates/explanations of points are meant not to convince the people debating but the people watching

[torn panther]

Really?

[thorny cloud]

Well who is the target audience?

[muted robin]

politics

shhhh

[brazen drift]

There was a guy literally the other day in stream who backed down when thor showed the video of the guys kid saying nasty stuff. It DOES work.

[fierce bison]

people who can use their brain, pretty low bar actually

[thorny cloud]

Of course. I'm not saying it never works.

I'm saying it isn't helping to make the larger situation any better.

[indigo wadi]

Let's not go there

[thorny cloud]

I mean that's a little snide and dismissive, don't you think? lol

[earnest spire]

youtube sadly has not had any updates on the drama so they might be a large amount of people who dont know what thor stance

[vivid maple]

i wont

[fierce bison]

a bit more generous than what thor's been getting

[vivid maple]

im just gonna suggest looking it up for yourselves

[reef geyser]

Yep. Just have to break through that shell of tribalistic pre-assumptive villification. It's a natural human trait that steels people against evidence.

[torn panther]

Maybe a conversation with Charlie and Ross would help

[dry osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/no-politics-in-main-chat-gif-7102235848486205990

[thorny cloud]

Well I certainly wouldn't encourage Thor to use the words you just did xD

[torn panther]

Then this can all be water under the bridge

[river cargo]

yeah let's end the political discussion by saying that hasan, asmon and destiny deserve their dogpiling way more than thor

[gaunt remnant]

That's a double edged sword

[earnest spire]

Charlie doesnt see thor point

[river cargo]

I 100% agree

[reef geyser]

He talked to both in private shortly after the initial stuff went down a few weeks ago.

[wispy plover]

This is a good point and one that goes unnoticed. For all the people being led here astray on the hate train, there will be the few that come through to make their own opinion, have actual evidence presented instead of hate brigading, and be like "Oh... wait this guy is cool"

[earnest spire]

he just think is missinformation

[buoyant thistle]

There's an old saying:

You can't win an argument with a arrogant person with a mountain of proof or not, but you can win an argument with an intelligent person.

[gray fable]

given the nature of certain situations thor faces, some of the drama will vanish in like a year because the relevant complaints will have no need to be brought up. the rest will just need to be fought in their own way

i think

[torn panther]

I know but maybe one conversation to show everyone is cool. That was the flash point for the internet.

[dusky void]

People are still messaging after the WOW drama and they won't stop and it's been what, half a year? No amount of free time or "being an easy target" guarantees that. People want to see "something specific" from Thor and him defending himself like he always does seems to be something that only makes them angrier. This hate is sustained by something that they can keep getting furious over.

[shadow dawn]

Thor tried that and Charlie turned around and startes sprouting the whole "narcissist" nonsense, so nuh uh

[dry osprey]

Oh there is a couple that are in the end pretty chill and see it from another persepective

[thorny cloud]

Yeah but the problem is everyone keeps viewing this situation as a battle to be won, rather than a conversation to be had, which is kind of a big chunk of the ammo people are using in their guns right now to paint Thor as being some kind of jerk.

[torn panther]

Everyone should be capable of being adults and moving on from something like this

[gaunt remnant]

Individually, yes. Not as a group, not as a mob. Doesn't work the same

[thorny cloud]

That would be great, wouldn't it? lol

[last citrus]

yo, what do you guys think about Heartbound ? is it worth getting as it is now, i've seen it got review bombed crazy and was wondering if i should wait a bit

[river cargo]

charlie isn't nice but broadcasting a debate and exposing him would definitely destroy whatever "debate ammunition" the "critics" have left

[reef geyser]

Thor's recommendation is always to play the demo first, and see if you like it

[river cargo]

play the demo

[gaunt remnant]

Again, double edged sword

[thorny cloud]

Charlie is Penguinz0 right?

[dry osprey]

Most of these "negative" reviews are just review bombs. Try out the demo and decide for yourself :3

[shadow dawn]

Yep

[thorny cloud]

Ty

[wispy plover]

Charlie/penguiz0/MoistCritikal yes

[earnest spire]

the question is the ammo finish?

[brazen drift]

I believe it is. yesterday there were nearly 2000 people banned in his chat and today there was like 900? its Really easy to make an alt, and MOST of the people that did get banned were just saying one or two words. The amount of people trying to Bait a response is also starting to get lower. the Smart people will eventually go "this doesnt seem right" and then go get informed and make their own decision. The next group that don't think before they say something, or type something in this case, may HOPEFULLY wisen up when thor defends himself. The last half there is no hope for because they dont care about who is right or wrong, they just want drama. this last group is whose constantly getting banned.

[torn panther]

As long as it’s a chill convo
And they find common ground to agree to disagree it will be fine

[thorny cloud]

Oh I actually know the name MoistCritikal from years ago, never saw any of his content tho

[last citrus]

do u guys kno if the quality drops off after the demo tho, because thats the biggest problem i heard, js a bit lackluster at the moment

[fierce bison]

I'll put it this way, the word "doubling down" has been used dismissively as if to say "we are right and thor should just admit it". Nobody intelligent uses the word "doubling down", as it is not condusive to a civilized debate. So yeah, don't be surprised if the response you're getting is also "dismissive". These regurgitated keyword gimmicks may work on mainstream youtube but they don't fly around here

[reef geyser]

Yep. Troll and bullying behavior is exhausting and time consuming. Eventially people have to eat, sleep, go... do life things. They can't outlast the walls.

[late bane]

eventually the hate will die down, people will get bored eventually.

[buoyant thistle]

Yeah, you can't really change a person's perspective if they see it that way. Children will fight but adults will discuss

[dry osprey]

School time needs to start

[shut ocean]

The game just isnt finished. Not a lot of content

not that the quality is bad just isnt finished

[thorny cloud]

...I'm sorry, what? "Regurgitated keyword gimmicks"?

[gaunt remnant]

People really loved Heartbound until the Thor hate started so really, just try the demo, see if you like it, if you do buy the game and play it. Don't delegate your thinking and opinion making to others

[gray fable]

did it drop to 900 because the number reset or because some of those people are now unbanned?

[hazy storm]

The only way to find out is to try it yourself. Don't listen to other opinions and trust your own judgment

[shut ocean]

2000 + 900

[thorny cloud]

I'm just trying to have a conversation, man. I'm not really sure why you're suddenly insulting me.

[shadow dawn]

Number resets every stream

[last citrus]

fs fs, it is an early access so tht makes sense

[gaunt remnant]

I appreciate the fate that you have in adults

[proud tundra]

The ban counter stuff and Thor replying to the negative comments is unnecessary imo he’s literally giving them what they want and that’s why they keep doing it

[brazen drift]

Number resets every day, but the amoutn of people banned stays the same

[torn panther]

Yepppers

[reef geyser]

Exactly It's like they skip the part where it's a discussion, and it's "only this opinion allowed, continuing to think otherwise counts as 'doubling down'. Cease original thought and capitulate to the majority."

[dry osprey]

People complain about thor being the lone dev and writer of his game.

But nobody complains that big games like gta5 or 6 take ages?

The audacity in my eyes

[fierce bison]

i fail to see where the insult was

[fierce bison]

pretty much yeah

[thorny cloud]

You said I was using "regurgitated keyword gimmicks," like you're implying what I am saying is somehow not genuine.

[gaunt remnant]

The "Before GTA6" has become a meme now, I do believe people complain

[late bane]

I do wonder how high the number would be if someone were to go and do the math on every recent vod.

[brittle brook]

There's only one kind of "double down" that people should ever find offensive online... the KFC Double Down... https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLNUB9lrUaZmLQBqiDbi1I7Mf8rlKhjN2Dew&s

[fierce bison]

i'm not implying, i'm telling it to your face

[dry osprey]

Good games need time to cook D:

[shut ocean]

Rockstar isnt selling a unfinished early access game. Think thats where the argument differs

[gaunt remnant]

Yeah just like Duke Nukem Forever

[thorny cloud]

So, you're upset with the way I talk?

[hazy storm]

Guys chill

[shadow dawn]

Yo, please stay civil, no need for mud slinging

[gaunt remnant]

Instead they're selling an unfinished full release game

[reef geyser]

They also ignore that he has 100% taken accountability for the lack of updates prior to 2025. They love to say he doesn't "take accountability" but he literally said he should have communicated better the things that were impacting updates. Dude LITERALLY said he made a mistake. Zero credit. Zero acknowledgement.

[brazen drift]

Yet. We'll see how many bugs its got when it comes out.

[shut ocean]

They arent selling anything yet..

[wispy plover]

KKona brother

[thorny cloud]

I'm perfectly chill lol

I just want to know why this person is coming after me the way they are

[dry osprey]

Yes and i feel there is other games on steam that are sitting on EA for far longer xD

[late bane]

their selling the idea of GTA6

[indigo wadi]

I even asked him about the communication mess up

[last citrus]

ay bro, i remember the other day u said u had a yt channel u were gonna make a video about, i'm interested to see it, what is called if u dnt mind me asking

[shut ocean]

You cant physically/digitally purchase GTA6

its a bad argument imo

[gaunt remnant]

It's not an argument, it's a joke

[minor nymph]

If you want brass tacks on this our adrev on the rescue is down 30%.
Part of this is a decline in Twitch income and part is dumb bullshit like this witch hunt.
That isn't going to stop us but it does give pause and made me plan more diversification of income.

[fierce bison]

heya, channel's empty so far, same name as the name here, I'm still working on the vid (13 pages long lol)

[dry osprey]

People who never really listen to him in his streams SAYING that or write it somewhere are the problems :<

[fierce bison]

planning on releasing it this weekend

[thorny cloud]

Ah jeez, man. I'm freaking sorry to hear that. Hugs. 🫂

[dry osprey]

Thor still not in bed

[minor nymph]

I cancelled bed. I am writing.

[gaunt remnant]

To be fair, if I were in his place, this kind of shit would keep me awake at night too

[reef geyser]

Get that bag my dude. For the wigglers.

[indigo wadi]

As you do, lol

[thorny cloud]

Are you entirely sure that's the best decision, Thor? lol

[dry osprey]

NU go bed sir. Good sleep gives you more energy to write!

[late bane]

should learn to write in your sleep

[gaunt remnant]

Working to relax and distract a stressed and overpressured mind

[minor nymph]

"That bag" is determined by numerous people on the internet.
Some of which currently think my work history and life are lies.

[wispy plover]

I can't believe Thor just cancelled bed.

[brittle brook]

don't believe in sleep, it doesn't believe in you

[jolly sky]

Allllllright what is going on here

No seriously what is going on here

[minor nymph]

I do what I want.

[thorny cloud]

There was a woman who found a hurt rattle snake. She took it in and nursed it back to health. It seemed grateful as it gained strength. One day the snake bit her on the wrist, pumping in a health dose of venom! The woman exclaimed "Why did you bite me, with all the care I've given you?

I think its a real problem on the internet and even in the celebrity world that a lot of youtubers and actors/writers ect did/do turn out to be real freaks so now people just assume that everyone they dont like has some hidden darkside and agendas.

[vivid maple]

noodle cats? thats new

[last citrus]

idk y it doesnt show up, maybe cuz no videos, ill look out for the vid tho if i can't find it 🫡

[brazen drift]

they're trying so hard to be that person that GACHA's them to get internet fame that will last less time than the hate campaigns goin

[vivid maple]

i usually call them hyper spaghetti

[gaunt remnant]

What about Nuclear Spaghetti?

[vivid maple]

oh god

[reef geyser]

If I remember correctly, he didn't want someone setting one up with his social media handle, so he made one just to lock his handle down.

[fierce bison]

eh, I'll dm you when I put it up if you want. Honestly the vid will need all the support it can get before it gets found out by the "other" camp and downvoted into oblivion

[vivid maple]

naw danger noodle is more like it

[brazen drift]

which is insanely smart cuz otherwise you get weird people photoshopping stuff and pretending to be you

In Gen_Chat, you need to either dedicate yourself to one topic, or choose to engage yourself and surf the multi-dimensional-topic drift

You don't have a choice in either matter

You do one or the other, otherwise you're lost

[gaunt remnant]

In other words, you must become quantum

[indigo wadi]

Do I point out my is supposed to be me? :p

[jolly sky]

Exactly my dude

[forest glacier]

I dont need to retype that XD

[last citrus]

ay idk the context of this, but i kinda did want to say, people here are a bit hostile atm, and it's understandable but not rly excusable, like if u look at my messages and only convo i had here, these people were tripping on me crazy the other day

[late bane]

What is concern trolling anyways and how can you tell the difference between the trolling and actual concern

[gaunt remnant]

Being on the internet for many years and knowing people well, you can start to very easily discern that kind of stuff

[late bane]

More I think about it the more it actually feels like bate

[gaunt remnant]

You start reading between the lines

[prime anchor]

You aren't allowed to be concerned about anything

[late bane]

Look at him being mad at good people

Yeahhh I see it now

[muted robin]

wasn't talking about you

[vivid maple]

i need sleep guys

[minor nymph]

Concern trolling is when someone makes an accusation against you, you refute it or defend yourself, and then they say they are worried about your mental health because you are taking things so seriously. Literally what this guy just did in this thread.

[last citrus]

na ik, i js thought it kinda correlated

[vivid maple]

have fun chatting amongst yourselves

[dry osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/pirouette-bounce-bed-room-shorts-gif-12486119532720203761

[minor nymph]

It's the most insufferable kind of shit online.

[dry osprey]

I will go to bed now since its late

[late bane]

Basically a defensive mechanism to cover his own ass after failing the debate

[muted robin]

thor wouldn't need to interact w/ them if they weren't interacting with him first aka picking fights jfc

[forest glacier]

[minor nymph]

And to make it look like they care about you and you're unhinged or damaged in some way.

[jolly sky]

From my own perspective it comes with experience. You can see some of the words that are chosen to be used, and the way that they're used. You begin see those messages and how they come across. It takes a level of "reading between the lines", but it can be understood.

[river cargo]

I saw that all over social media after your latest drk interview

[gaunt remnant]

Holy crap, I've had that kind of shit happen to me so many times, and not just online. This is the worst because you just know you're wasting your time with people like this since it's just an excuse to back out of an argument or situation they suddenly realized are completely mistaken about or don't care about anymore

[late bane]

I see

[placid plover]

I dont think I will ever understand trolls online. but hey I have massive respect for tanking it and defending yourself like a chad. props to you

[minor nymph]

It's fucking insufferable.

[forest glacier]

do the roar

https://tenor.com/view/sam-green-notice-me-gif-10165825

[late bane]

Hey Thor, I know it's off topic but I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to make my first game, it's currently in the designing phase but I'm going to see it through to the end.

[opaque raven]

I'm planning to draw a Kobold riding a ferret so I'm looking for references.
My present problem is that I'm having a hard time finding the main characteristics of a ferret. All the Mustela look the same to me at me moment (ferrets, minks, weasels, stoats, etc)

[shadow dawn]

As you said: not really excusable but understandable, still,,,
Sorry ppl were jerks

https://tenor.com/view/bart-say-the-line-gif-22118591

[muted robin]

don't get me started on how ppl only give a damn about mental health/illness when they weaponize diagnoses and therapy speak specifically to invalidate people and make them look crazy sdklfsdljk

[river cargo]

exactly what drk was saying with the sane/not sane argument lol

[gaunt remnant]

...Why do you have this at the ready?

[last citrus]

its all good, i appreciate that vrodie 🙏

[river cargo]

same with drk telling people not to clip out of context

[muted robin]

[minor nymph]

I live on the internet.

[gray fable]

He’s a goblin

[gaunt remnant]

I need to fill up my random video folder more

[late bane]

Im sorry

[opal star]

AI live on the internet too. so.... Thor is AI confirmed

[forest glacier]

You know I actually made someone DM me because they worded it as "disappointed" in you... and it was really a struggle to get them to admit what the core of their issue was I had to ask like 5 times to get it out of them, and they finally linked my the clip of your dad teasing you for not saying happy fathers day. Instant block. They were 100% reasonable up until that point

[river cargo]

real talk, will you ever open up donations for the ferret rescue outside of watching the stream?

is it only subscribing that supports it?

[shadow dawn]

Also ad revenue

[warm trench]

I took a photo and created a shadow out of it (2 tones) then filled in all the hair coat while looking at the real photo. It still makes it yours but with some help.

[shadow dawn]

Why do you just have that?

[ocean agate]

could dump a bunch of bits on ferret channel too?

[gaunt remnant]

Why don't you?

[earnest spire]

should find the clip of his dad saying nice thing to him

[hasty grail]

how much time and energy have you used on ai art for this?

[late bane]

Oh wait, he mentioned the ad revenue being lower than normal, wonder if any updates on that dropped

[ocean agate]

i make tons of stuff https://bsky.app/profile/goblin-scout.bsky.social

Goblin Scout (@goblin-scout.bsky.social)

Goblin is a generic term for shape shifting trickster. My avatar is Scout the Kitsune.

Bluesky

[muted robin]

somewhere on his twitch page there's a link to an amazon wishlist that has a bunch of assorted ferret products on it (food mainly)

[opaque raven]

? what

[muted robin]

i've never seen thor mention it but i assume if it's on his page then it works and you could donate food to the shelter by buying it essentially

[shadow dawn]

On mobile, cuz i should have gone to sleep 4 hours ago, but
Y'kno, the good ol' insomnia

[hasty grail]

rephrasing, how much of this art is lying around or did you generate some?

[gaunt remnant]

Welp it's 3:20am here and I need to be at work at 9am so uh... yay me

[shadow dawn]

Ohhh gotta check that out when its not 3:19 AM

[forest glacier]

Im irked by AI art as much as the next guy... but you cant just go calling peoples posts AI without it being beyond a reasonable doubt...

[shadow dawn]

Same timezone!!

[jolly sky]

So here's something that I hope some people can learn from. There is a difference between "Concern Trolling" in an "attempt" to defend someone for a trolling purposes, VS actual, proper defense.

You don't use previous arguments or examples in an actual defense. You meet the person where they're at.

A "Concern Troll" will more often than not bring up examples of previous things that have happened, and have that be the reason to be "concerned"

[drifting dragon]

Thor is innocent.

[late bane]

Feels like if you defend yourself you lose
If you do nothing you lose
Oh to be in the public eye

[forest glacier]

Thor is a human. Doing human things. Fairly well IMO.

[fierce bison]

convincingly well*

[forest glacier]

inb4 memes about AI Thor

[drifting dragon]

💯. It’s his first time living too.

[gaunt remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-movie-james-cameron-western-gif-17538858

[ocean agate]

he knows how to handle his haters

[placid plover]

can I send Thor a jar of dirt?

[jolly sky]

And just clarify this statement, this is most of the time purely online behaviour. A lot of the time, (especially with someone you've known for while IRL) this is a good thing for IRL relationships.

[gaunt remnant]

Send him those packs of dirt that might have gold in them

[forest glacier]

I mean... yea.... but I dont think he would open or keep it

[placid plover]

yeah thats fair 😂

[placid plover]

great idea

[muted robin]

yeah, i think part of concern trolling is when someone shows concern when they clearly don't know the other person at all and it's obvious it's not in good faith/it's not their place

[ocean agate]

careful customs might frown on it

[late bane]

Who needs them

[forest glacier]

If he opened a jar of dirt from the mail it would probably by outside and probably be Shaye opening it LUL

[placid plover]

yeah probably

[drifting dragon]

LMAO

[forest glacier]

I can just see the bewildered Thor. Its great.

[muted robin]

could make it the fake candy kind that's just crushed oreos

[shadow dawn]

European dirt would probably give him current pestilence 2.0😭 /j

[placid plover]

True. the idea is really funny to me, but I dont think customs would allow it 😂

[hasty grail]

thank you for doing the edit on this btw

[opaque raven]

Are you asking about that specific one of the ferret or all of the kobolds that I post?

The ferret one is from Gaming Den (Beasts of Burden and War), I found it while looking for references
The ones I generally post I would say...half are mine and half are from other artists. I usually try to find images with the signature somewhere on the picture, like this one for example

[jolly sky]

Precisely. I know someone who has been my best friend for coming up to 25 years. He knows my history, and I know his. If we're sincerely worried about each other, he will bring up examples of previous things that have happened in my past, and I will do the same.

We know each other. And we would want to clarify, and make sure, that those past experiences aren't a part of the probems we're facing now.

[hasty grail]

okay, so nothing is generated, just a deep stash

[late bane]

If only i knew how to do it better lol

[ocean agate]

could you imagine everyone sends him 1oz of dirt, he mixes it.....super virus emerges ends world.....well that went about as to be expected when goblins do something together

[forest glacier]

Thor with a jar of dirt in his hands and an opened box in his lap "What the fff###?!!"

[hasty grail]

maybe put one of the troll messages with "user banned"

[shadow dawn]

"Whats the matter with you??!?"

[placid plover]

Unless its like a tightly sealed jar of dirt I could maybe get away with it

[ocean agate]

could send him salt and say sponsored by LoL.... Bronze

[shadow dawn]

Started saying that myself even

[gaunt remnant]

Welp, time for le sleep for real now chat. Goodnight

[forest glacier]

be a bit weird to say that in private, probably be a long sigh, whilst THINKING "Why are you like this" ACTUALLY XD

Sleep well!💖

[jolly sky]

It's a PoE thing. I don't play it but I know some of the memes

[ocean agate]

its bronzed

[forest glacier]

OK none of this looks bronze to me looks TRIGGERED

[ocean agate]

would u prefer greenish?

[forest glacier]

If thats also a PoE joke I dont get it

[hasty grail]

chaos orb of Path of Exile

[fierce bison]

the vaal orb comment earlier was the best but i think flew over people's head

[fierce bison]

PoE jokes 😦

[hasty grail]

vaal orb

[jolly sky]

@forest glacier It's this lmao, but made with the face

[late bane]

Reddit users?

[forest glacier]

[hasty grail]

sounds about right given that a vaal orb corrupts items

[late bane]

Ha

[hasty grail]

would be a good base for a Vaal Orb variant

i'll work on it tomorrow

[late bane]

God that image is...something

[hasty grail]

hmmmm

[river cargo]

Damn one of my favourite youtubers ever just released a new video targeting thor...this one is going to have to be blocked since it makes me sad to even unfollow

[late bane]

Awww

[hasty grail]

should be possible for most of a PoE set

[late bane]

Always sad when that happens

[river cargo]

The worst part of this drama is how so many channels I thought were cool were actually asses this whole time

[gloomy forge]

Oh neat, I thought I could maybe make a lil hand painting reminiscent to the official PoE images but if you already do that thats cool by me

[frozen sonnet]

Real

[late bane]

Weed out the bad, speed run

[hasty grail]

i was going to do a quick and dirty photoshop method

[opaque raven]

Uhum, and I work on several layers so, for example, this is what I'm doing right now, and as soon as I'm done with this axe I will be able to use on another project (with a little retracing to adapt to another style but the important proportions are there). This makes some things faster.

Also, I would strongly advise to not call anything you see AI, specially with the choice of words you used. This is very far away from being polite and can be easily seen as an offense.

[gloomy forge]

Not suprising, I feel every person can become a hater if conflicted with something they really don't like. Doesn't really matter if its people or not.

[hasty grail]

Well, the creator was known for giving critical media literacy takes....I just didn't expect him to be stupid enough to fall for the bs on the internet

[wispy plover]

I just wait for it to pop up on my feed so I can hit Do Not Recommend.

[gloomy forge]

Theres no need to be upset the thing about bandwaggoning is that the people who right now hate the current subject of hate is simply a game of telephone, they watch the youtube videos, get informed that way, then regurgitate that. Its not their fault. A lot of people do become aware that "drama slop" is becoming a thing though.

I feel the most healtiest approach is that if your favorite content creator does something wrong, simply be patient and don't judge.

Give people chances.

[indigo wadi]

I did a good deed today, if anyone wants to hear

[gloomy forge]

Sure

[shadow dawn]

Yes, please do tell

[opaque raven]

Thanks!
Oh this looks really good, I'm taking a look at the gameplay and seems pretty fun

[brittle brook]

Tails of Iron 1/2 are really fun

[gloomy forge]

Yeah maybe you can find deep inspiation for your work too

[brittle brook]

plus they're narrated by the voice of Geralt, Doug Cockle

[indigo wadi]

Was walking back from my GFs place and saw a homeless couple asking for spare change for food.

I go into the circle-k and bought one of those 2 cheeseburger packs (ready made ones).

Went back out and gave it to em.

Rare that I do that, but the giving spirit was in me

Course my brain is so paranoid of ppl, itn screams out to me "your fingerprints are on the bag, they could take em off!!"

I hate my brain sometimes

[gloomy forge]

We all have our intrusive thoughts, its a sign you have good imagination. honestly I feel you could be a fun creative writer.

Ohhh this looks fun. Wishlisted it. When I have some spare money I am gonna get em.

[opaque raven]

I wish I knew about this during summer sales, I would have def picked up

[indigo wadi]

I think I've seen this floating about on xbox

[wispy plover]

Idk how I've never heard of it

[quartz sonnet]

Ah, I know exactly who you're talking about. I unsubbed and blocked the channel from my YouTube feed. When you use reddit research to sway people into your corner to convince them you're going to engage in good faith discussion and totally not drama farming, that's a hard no from me fam.

[wispy plover]

It's right in my wheelhouse of games I like

[indigo wadi]

Good God, is this from a knock-off rap battle channel?

[gloomy forge]

Yes of course! Embrace the brainrot, enjoy the brainrot.

[wispy plover]

Not-So-Epic Rap battles of historyyyyyy!

[gloomy forge]

let it become part of you

(you read this in Thors voice)

[indigo wadi]

No, I refuse. I'll only accept erboh

[opaque raven]

Look at this background!!!!!
Sooooo good

Sooo many layers

[gloomy forge]

Yeah being a purist has its good sides. I kinda became more chil on that.

[gloomy forge]

Yeah I know, right? insane use of paralax for a modern game. I like games that have skelleton based rigging like that, too.

[idle hill]

God damn that snake is sick as hell

[gloomy forge]

I really strongly recommend you buy it when its on sale.

[indigo wadi]

Holy, I may buy this now.

What kind of game is it?

[gloomy forge]

The first game is really cheap on sale, like...5 bucks?

or was it 3? I forgor.

[opaque raven]

I already have 5 games on my backlog, I can't add more at the moment

[indigo wadi]

I have too many games

[opaque raven]

And ye...I know that 5 games is a rookie number compared to some

[gloomy forge]

who hasn't its the blight of every gamer. But its a fun one.

[indigo wadi]

Currently working my way through 60 parsecs. Though I don't know what constitutes as competing it.

[wispy plover]

I have tons of games in my backlog. And when I could be playing them, I end up doing something dumb like going back to WoW.

[gloomy forge]

I mean you don't have to complete games, just enjoying them for enough is already moneys worth

[indigo wadi]

I'm currently off WoW. Unsure if I return for next raid season.

[opaque raven]

Side scroller action rpg I guess, from what I'm seeing

With a hub

[gloomy forge]

Yeah it is a 2d metroidvania like action game, kinda like darksouls meets redwall?

[wispy plover]

I only went back for MoP classic this time. Retail is a meme atm, and I dont care about hardcore.

[indigo wadi]

Yeah but i would like to actually finish games :p. Too many years of WoW has left them neglected.

[indigo wadi]

Neat

[indigo wadi]

I was excited about mop classic, but eh...I just don't have it in me. Plus other priorities right now.

[opaque raven]

The problem is that my version of "I'm satisfied" is usually completionism with 100% things + challenges + speedrun route + lore videos, etc

I'm easily hyped

[gloomy forge]

Yeah my previous comment to you was uncessisary. Of course you wanna complete what you began. Kinda a purist trait as wel if you wanna do it you wanna do it right.

I just wanted to bring some positivity here thats all.

[indigo wadi]

Me with open world games lol

[opaque raven]

I already have 150hrs on Darkest Dungeon and I just got it from Summer Sales for example

[indigo wadi]

Another game I need to get back to

[wispy plover]

Oh crap, I wanted to pick that up during the summer sale and I forgot

[gloomy forge]

I mean its not wrong, I didn't mean that in a "if you don't do it exactly how I mean its wrong." of course you do you thats also gigafun. I sometimes do that with stuff that really interests me as well, doing deep dives and spending a week on meta-things like reading wikis, researching lore, etc.

[opaque raven]

Images of war from the 700 Koroks on BOTW for me

[wispy plover]

https://tenor.com/view/korok-yahaha-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-loz-gif-22535699

[gloomy forge]

A game I've been devouring recently is Vampire Survivors, almost completed it all.

[opaque raven]

Ye ye, I fully got it, just saying that I'm easily hyped and go really deep into the things I like. I'm reading Metro right now for example (instead of sleeping....) and I already ordered the second book and I'm curious about the games

[indigo wadi]

Even at its regular price, it's a good buy. Great challenge

Effing finally

[gloomy forge]

Metro is PHENOMENAL man, the games were made in the way that emphasized on the writing of the book, so reading the book THEN playing the game makes it feel like you've already been there through being immersed by the books.

[indigo wadi]

I fell back on that so hard. I need to also catch up on that

[gloomy forge]

I don't wanna spoil it, but finishing it by far doesn't finish it. With all DLCs the game itself becomes as deep as the vtuber rabbit hole.

[wispy plover]

My issue rn is I really don't have the disposable income like I used to.

[indigo wadi]

Oh for sure

[indigo wadi]

Fair

[indigo wadi]

GET NOW

[gloomy forge]

And once you realize you can somewhat manipulate the in game RNG by picking certain things early as they're based on a seed is peak.

I'm no pro but there have been times were I was "I get x weaping in the next 5 levels" because I know the RNG and the rythm of what the games hints you. It goes really deep in its sublety.

[indigo wadi]

Or getting a specific build and going 35 minutes

[opaque raven]

God bless TotK for allowing us to do this

[jolly sky]

While I personally don't like the gameplay of Darkest Dungeon, the narrators voice acting could not be more sublime

[gloomy forge]

Yeah thats right. I dunno what I can spoil and what not. The game unlocks so many things its crazy.

[wispy plover]

You a real one for this

Just nabbed it

[gloomy forge]

peepoHappy Darkest Dungeon is so much fun. I'm still sad about the voice.

[opaque raven]

I have 150+hrs on it and I still enjoy every comment the narrator does
For me it's on the same level as Pokemon Stadium, considering the times ofc

[gloomy forge]

Wayne June died early this year, the narrador of DD.

[indigo wadi]

I was checking to see the price cause I was thinking of gifting it to ya

[wispy plover]

I do love yeeting those lil jerks

[indigo wadi]

RIP

[gloomy forge]

Played a little bit of the game during that time iconic voice.

[opaque raven]

I became a bona fide Korok exterminator

[jolly sky]

Yea. Sad times for sure. I've heard this voice many times (he has a voice pack in Dota 2) and my full respect goes out to him. He hovers on the same level as Tony Jay for me

[gloomy forge]

Eh, I feel its not bad talking about the dead of a person and still talking positive. He is a legend and many people replayed DD when they heard about his death. Just say it how it is.

[wispy plover]

I still remember back when I was vtubing playing ToTK and strapping rockets to one of them and straight launching it. I got a poorly timed raid to me doing that and just me cackling for minutes on end after.

[gloomy forge]

Oh that is massive praise to his craft.

[indigo wadi]

Which one is Tony Jay?

[opaque raven]

I mean, if you randomly opened any TotK stream during the first few weeks you will probably see a lot of people yeeting Koroks

[jolly sky]

So, he doesn't appear in Darkest Dungeon, but he is the voice of the Elder God in the Legacy of Kain games

[indigo wadi]

Any other voices?

[late bane]

Tony Jay, Captain Saladin King's Quest VI

[wispy plover]

Oh I love that guy

[gloomy forge]

Yeah absolute legend.

[late bane]

My favorite King's Quest

[jolly sky]

He has a vast history of voice acting

Like, colossal

[gloomy forge]

I remember the owl from kings quest 6

[indigo wadi]

sees image oh that guy

[late bane]

The Owl was V

[indigo wadi]

WAIT

[gloomy forge]

Oh, I mixed it up, thanks for telling me

[indigo wadi]

HE DID MEGABYTE

[jolly sky]

I'm just going to link his Wiki, and if you see anything you recognise, I hope you hear his voice in your head;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Jay

[gloomy forge]

reboot mentioned.

[indigo wadi]

HE WAS ON GOLDEN GIRLS TOO

[brazen drift]

my god my grandma was watching an episode he was on Literally today

[indigo wadi]

Reboot was one of my jams growing up.

My brain thought Reboot was what actually happened inside computers

I also thought girls were born with pierced holes in their earlobes

[wispy plover]

Loved Reboot. I used to wake up before school and watch Reboot and Beast Wars.

[indigo wadi]

YES

Did you cry at dinobot's death too?

[wispy plover]

I used to have so many damn Beast Wars transformers

[jolly sky]

My first experience of Tony Jay's voice was from the Legacy of Kain games. and that is what I will always remember him from.

IMO, the voice acting and Story of the Legacy of Kain has yet to be beaten to this day.

[wispy plover]

IT IS STILL SAD!

[indigo wadi]

Then they did beastmachines....

[wispy plover]

...that was sad on a different level

[gloomy forge]

Honey wake up new Chazore lore just dropped.

Yeah we all had thoughts like that as kids. When I was young I thought that people back then saw things in black and white because thats what old archives and old shows looked like

[indigo wadi]

Lol 7a

[wispy plover]

We don't talk about that XD

[indigo wadi]

It is the dbgt version

[wispy plover]

ugghhhh I hate how accurate that statement feels

[indigo wadi]

Hahaha, true

[indigo wadi]

I like the idea of Megatron winning, but the execution....eh

Also his idea of being anti-animal fit well

Did you see the beast wars movie?

[wispy plover]

Nah. I couldnt bring myself to watch it

[indigo wadi]

I probably should, just to see

Gonna be hard to be unbiased

[wispy plover]

Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I could not get into the live action transformer movies. At all.

I remember buying the DVD for the first one cus it came in a little transformer DVD case, and I fell asleep during it cus it was so boring and so bad.

[indigo wadi]

They're kind of hard to follow

If you enjoy boom booms, they're great fun though

[opaque raven]

I LOVED Beast Wars, the whole movie was amazing for me
And I honestly couldn't care less about all the other Transformers movies

[jolly sky]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUST9RonBoU

While this does not feature Tony Jay until the very end, this is the game that first showed me that games can be far more than just entertainment, but can tell a story that has the depth of book

[opaque raven]

Too much human focus

[indigo wadi]

How's the story?

[opaque raven]

Crazy good. Everything makes sense

[jolly sky]

And this was back in 1999

[opaque raven]

Is this the game about the vampire that got the wings broken or something?

[jolly sky]

That is indeed how it starts, and has a history that goes back 1000's of years.

That ties back into it all, and its future.

[opaque raven]

I would for sure read it if there is a book

[jolly sky]

It's one of the very few stories where Time travel stuff makes sense, and ties back into its story

[opaque raven]

But I simply cannot add more games to my backlog

Oh...there is a switch remaster

[jolly sky]

It becomes a self contained loop, where both the future actions and the past tie into each other

[wispy plover]

Watching that trailer today, I would still play that game if it came out today.

[jolly sky]

I've never seen a more perfectly executed Time travel story

[hazy storm]

Ok so i downloaded warpforge and IM probably feeling the honeymoon stage but its pretty fun

[opaque raven]

Imagine my shock now seeing the price of the graphic novel
(Before I realized it's just the sum of the kickstarter project)

[hazy storm]

I choose the imperium as my first faction and my god how they steamroll through enemy cards

[jolly sky]

Good news for all who wish to play it, Soul Reaver 1 & 2 remastered is on Steam, driven almost purely by Fans. One of the Pillars of the the Legacy of Kain community was the Director for the Remaster, and dear god did she pull through

The first game, Blood Omen 1, is on GOG, and is the best way of playing it. But, it is not entirely necessary to play and enjoy Soul Reaver 1 (the sequel to Blood Omen 1)

[opaque raven]

Oh wait, for real? Sounds pretty cool

[jolly sky]

I have Raina Audron (the handle of which she goes by) as a friend on Steam, and I met her through TF2

(Raina Audron being the director of the Remaster)

[gloomy forge]

GOG mentioned

[opaque raven]

GoG's Preservation Program is pure delight

[gloomy forge]

And yeah I highly recommend you guys to give the mentioned games a try.

[jolly sky]

She has hosted a website as an archive of the franchise among a few others, and has been a consistent uploader of Cut Content of the Soul Reaver games for many years

[opaque raven]

That's love and respect right there

[buoyant thistle]

Just a tad. But not enough. Anyone can be immature.

[jolly sky]

Once I knew that the remaster was being spearheaded by her, I knew it was in good hands. All I hoped was that the development continued, and thankfully it did.

[jolly sky]

This franchise has a grip on my soul, not only as someone who plays games, but as a human

[opaque raven]

I really like the theme and I got a few books and I would love to know more about the series' lore

[wispy plover]

I remember playing the first one when I was younger. I wishlisted the remaster.

[jolly sky]

The VA’s of Legacy of Kain initially did not understand Video Games, until they saw the script that they had been given. They then thought "Oh, this is a Stage Play" and brought their A game

[wispy plover]

That's wild

So cool though

[opaque raven]

I recently got very disappointed with Bram Stoker's Dracula, it felt like a mess with zero focus and dept.
Carmilla on the other hand is perfect from start to finish

So I'm kinda in the mood for vamp stuff

[jolly sky]

Amy Hennig is the author of the writing for Soul Reaver, and;

[torn panther]

I need AC desperately

[jolly sky]

I would personally argue that nothing has eclipsed her writing for LoK since

[torn panther]

Anyone know an AC hack?

[brittle brook]

air conditioning?

[brazen drift]

they worked on forspoken... i feel so sorry for them

[torn panther]

I got a fan in my window with Dr prayer

[brazen drift]

its sad that the gameplay wasn't great

[jolly sky]

We don't support pirating here #piracy-requests

[brazen drift]

i think they mean a literal air conditioner

[torn panther]

Air conditioning

[brittle brook]

do you have a box fan and a big plastic-tub you could set it in top of? Swamp Cooler could be an option

[torn panther]

Like a life hack

[jolly sky]

OH

So many games come under "AC" lmao

[idle hill]

lmfao

[brittle brook]

fill a large plastic-lined container with a bunch of ice, throw a box-fan over tops of it blowing upwards, you can get some cold air, but may raise humidity.

[torn panther]

Humidity is 89% so swamp cooler is not an option here sadly . I’ll try the ice

Sounds like a good idea

[opaque raven]

ah...I honestly assumed you did a triple plot twist joke with that piracy alert

[earnest spire]

there are people who crack ice and leave it out

[brazen drift]

sounds like a dehumidifier is needed

[jolly sky]

Assassins Creed, Armoured Core, to name but a few

[brittle brook]

other box-fan-cooling-hacks, remove the front-face grill and basically tie a bed-sheet around the left/right/top sides

then you can create a wind-tunnel to sleep in

[torn panther]

My indoor humidity is 45% I think but outdoor RH is 89%

[jolly sky]

Try a normal fan, and spray water on your face.

Also a plastic bottle of Frozen Water in front of a fan helps

in-lieu of AC

[torn panther]

Maybe a swamp cooler would work but my dehumidifier might have to work overtime lol

[minor nymph]

I had no idea lol

[torn panther]

I’ll try this, sounds like it should work pretty well

[opaque raven]

It's 5am and it's kinda hard to sleep on this heat...we decide that tomorrow we are going to hunt for an AC, if there is any left

[jolly sky]

I'm gonna actually reply to the message I intended lmao

[torn panther]

Sounds like a good call, sleep is important

[jolly sky]

Heyo Thor, hope all is going well. Also, as personal ask, did you by chance find the time to watch this

#streamchat message

[opaque raven]

The bad part is getting an AC that will only be used 3 or 4 weeks of the year at most

[winter sierra]

i think thor is checking the discord while working on heartbound

[torn panther]

Ha yeah that’s my problem
With investing in one too

I’ve been sleeping okay luckily, tends to cool where I am at during the night

God willing we avoid anymore trapped heat waves

[opaque raven]

I'm melting here...even when raining it's still too hot

[patent bear]

Look, I'm sorry if I've now painted things in a bit of a bad light, but my perspective is the guy was goal-post moving.

Wikipedia has a shit take on game coverage.

[indigo wadi]

What you wrote was fine

[opaque raven]

From what I read it was all well done

[jolly sky]

Then I can only hope that somoene who is as story-driven as I'd like to be, he could see the glory of this 1999 video game story (also a subtle hint to a TTS I sent him recommending to check it out)

[lapis tartan]

I hate when it rains when it's hot... You get maybe a moment of relief, then it's soup for the next 2-4 days to add to the suffering...

[patent bear]

Nelas is probably going to have a field-day when they read the claim the wiki isn't maintained.

[opaque raven]

Problem with the rain is that it makes it harder for me to bike on the forest for a few days

[exotic forge]

Are you in the US?

[jolly sky]

Heat + Humidity = Suck

[exotic forge]

I use AC probably 8 months out of the year

[jolly sky]

The air is so much thicker, and normal fans have such a harder time to move the air around

[late bane]

I can already sense the disturbance in the force.

[carmine sierra]

Ice plus fan is a good air conditioning hack, if you have an ice maker

Ideally put it in a container that has some other exit for the airflow

[patent bear]

Also as I stated, that name for me predates the first time I started going by "Captain Irrelevant" anywhere.

[carmine sierra]

Friend of mine had a five-gallon paint bucket with holes drilled in the side and a desk fan strapped to the top

[jolly sky]

I've seen some cheap "Not actually AC but pretends to be AC" product here that features large, re-freezable block that you slot behind a fan

[opaque raven]

"Sockpuppet"
New term learned 📝

[opaque raven]

No no, why?

[patent bear]

The guy explained why the coincidence of his account activity. I can't go beyond that without sounding like I'm digging into a conspiracy, so I later made a note that I did not further pursue my claim.

[opaque raven]

I love good drama and I never thought that from all places Wikipedia edit log discussions would be a hidden gem

[exotic forge]

Nah just wondering because I live in north america and I need AC most times of the year

[winter sierra]

ikr

[opaque raven]

I'm on scandi, close to the arctic circle

So you can imagine how little AC is present in anyone's life here

[earnest cove]

Living in tropical Malaysia with 33-36 centigrade heat every day is a nightmare without AC

[wicked schooner]

Same

[earnest cove]

Fellow Malaysian 🤝

[opaque raven]

I read
"Living with 33-36 centipedes is a nightmare"
Yup, it probably is

[earnest cove]

Thankfully my dad invested in AC. My grandparents didn't in the past so visiting them was always a baking oven

[ocean agate]

the wake up call of being reminded just how international this one channel can be....i LOVE IT. everyone just chillin and having good vibes

[opaque raven]

Imagine getting shoes for all those 33 centipedes

[earnest cove]

330 shoes

[wicked schooner]

Im just gonna say thank you to @minor nymph for localising heartbound's pricing in malaysia. I can afford to buy heartbound even if its not on sale

Still had to take a loan to buy the demo though

[hasty grail]

i knew it was coming

and funny every time

[earnest cove]

This is also true. Gosh Malaysia is constantly very high humidity and it makes the heat feel like 40+++

[opaque raven]

In most places the demo costs your first borne so a basic loan is fine

[brittle brook]

I'm still sadge because of all the chat-hopper-dramas this year, Thor had to take Heartbound off the channel point rewards, and that happened like 3wks before I'd hit the 500k needed... now how am I supposed to rationally "buy" Heartbound without playing the demo first...

[earnest cove]

Same here i bought it because it was recommended and not multiply-by-four price. Sadly a lot of people don't bother with regional pricing anymore...

[wicked schooner]

Its the triple A publishers that want to squeeze every single penny from as many customers as they can

[indigo wadi]

'REAL GAMERS WILL FIND A WAY!!!!"

[earnest cove]

My sadness when Deltarune didn't adjust price anymore. But my dutch husband gifted it to my account so it's okay

[brittle brook]

on of the challenges of localized pricing though is preventing people from VPN-abusing it. just look at how many countries this year Steam stopped allowing it for because so many people would location-hop, buy cheap, or buy for a key-seller site, and usually being done by people who give 0 shits about the people actually living in those regions who are supposed to be the ones benefitting

[earnest cove]

It's probably why Toby stopped doing it too...

[opaque raven]

It's kinda funny bcs on the Eshop you can just change your country in two clicks and check any prices, as long as your bank allows the purchase it's all good

[jolly sky]

It's especially sad because everything that I've seen both on Stream and personally in VC's from Thor has exuded humanity in its raw form, and his will to understand the perspective of the individual.

And to have others come and ruin the possibilities to force him to "roll back" the opportunities he wants to show is such a sad showing of the times that now exist

[frosty socket]

Funnily enough, it's Thursday, which, originally, was called "Thor's Day", sooo... beautiful thing that

[hasty grail]

thanks for the late response

[frosty socket]

i actually thought it was the bottom of chat, lmao

Discord decided it was NOT gonna scroll down further

[hasty grail]

either way

thanks

[frosty socket]

no problemo

[reef merlin]

i hate when discord does that

[frosty socket]

Disappears into the Sands of Arrakis once more

[hasty grail]

im taking another run at Last Epoch

sooo INTO THE TIMESTREAM

[gloomy forge]

Man I wanted to write something about that too but I put myself into the no-drama-talk embargo . i've been tired about it as well.

Personally, I'm glad to talk with you guys and enjoy some of the free time chatting here too.

[lapis tartan]

I respect wanting to keep outa drama. So random side note, I'm waiting to see what Terraria cooks up for their Co-lab with Palworld.

[gloomy forge]

The next update is gonna be gigantic.

i love re-logic "This is the last update for Terraria, with this update we say goodbye to the game!" 6 months later "We're working on the newest update that we will work on for 4 years which adds basically twice as much content and changes everything for the better, expect a changelog longer than all 3 LOTR books"

And yeah, I actually began writing here because of some arguments/drama but there is no point. What I wanted to say has been said and thats good.

[brisk sparrow]

is it bad that i wouldnt be shocked that they do another afterwards?

[indigo wadi]

I cannot wait for console release

[gloomy forge]

Of course not, Terraria development never ends.

[hasty grail]

my first run was a necromancer, felt meh on it towards the end

took a few months off and now running a fire mage

[gloomy forge]

I only seen streamers play Last Epoch, seems very interesting but I already have enough games that take a long time to beat for now.

[hasty grail]

its very much a Path of Exile like

the skill system is VERY different

if you didnt like PoE1 due to the skill tree, you might have a better time with Last Epoch

[strange owl]

Last Epoch feels so soulless to me. Idk what it is but it feels like running through an AI generated game or something. Nothing is placed intentionally, the story is just sort of there to set up the endgame and it's mainly just a grind to get there.
The gameplay is nice though and itemization seems ok.

[hasty grail]

thats fair

[gloomy forge]

Yeah, I watched full playthroguhs on the sidelines. seems cool, reminds me a lil bit of Titan Quest/Grim Drawn.

[indigo wadi]

I find Terraria just as difficult to grasp as Minecraft. Like I don't even know what to really do in Terraria

[gloomy forge]

Yeah the game is intentionally obtuse to either just experiment or read the wiki its like what if linux would be a video game.

[hasty grail]

how to terraria: dig and create the best gear you can at a given moment, once you have the best gear fight the closest boss in your tier and repeat

[indigo wadi]

Last Epoch dungeons are procedrally generated, like Diablo 2

[ocean agate]

maybe ill just sleep the next 24 hours.....

[strange owl]

That's partly true, it's a bit more modular than D2. I've played a few runs and you see which parts are generated and which are modules quite easily.

[indigo wadi]

Last Epoch is like a combination of D2 and Chrono Trigger

[patent bear]

Anyone willing to chime in at this point?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Heartbound_(video_game)

I'm done with this.

I'm surprised he hasn't tried calling out bias on my part, but anyway... I've nothing further to add.

[late bane]

Last Epoch is fun ngl

should play it again sometime

[indigo wadi]

I wouldn't even know what to chime in with nor do I really deal with wikipedia stuffs

[indigo wadi]

I plan to once it launches on console

[late bane]

is it coming to consoles?

[indigo wadi]

They are planning an xbox release at some point

[late bane]

https://tenor.com/view/hell-yeah-bitcoin-ethereum-eth-btc-gif-27338496

[indigo wadi]

my current gpu can barely handle Last Epoch, even though I have a good amount of hours:

[gloomy forge]

Yeah thats quite a lot

[indigo wadi]

from back in 2024

I may like the game a bit

[gloomy forge]

Thats awesome

[strange owl]

About the same for me:

[indigo wadi]

I've been trying to find ways to lessen the load on my gpu

[gloomy forge]

Hmm, you have 4 gb of vram?

[indigo wadi]

Oh yeah, I have a gtx980

it's a potential overheating issue

[gloomy forge]

AHHH so its a heating thing.

[indigo wadi]

aye

[gloomy forge]

maybe opening the case works.

[indigo wadi]

fans spin when it reaches 90C

case is open

[gloomy forge]

I modified my own case back in the day so the wind that comes through the window channels in my case and blasts trough like a corridor.

[indigo wadi]

I'm tempted to put a standing fan next to the gpu LOL

Wouldn't be the first time

[gloomy forge]

Yeah exactly, but instead of that it was natural windsource.

[strange owl]

guessing you tried dusting it? canned air or a compressor, that type of thing

[indigo wadi]

Yup

Like I'm okay if it gets to 80ish, but above that, I start to get wary

[gloomy forge]

i used a steel cutter to make two circles, just be careful theres nothing inside your case that could break, I love working with hardware and modying stuff

[indigo wadi]

I could replace the card, BUT, I don't know what I'd replace it with

[strange owl]

might be time to replace some thermal paste then, or the card

[indigo wadi]

That's the only thing I haven't done is thermal paste on the gpu

and I refuse to do it myself

I think my biggest concern is making sure I replace the gpu with the correct one

[ocean agate]

i have been reading about wikipedias rules a bit...im no expert and am half asleep but i couldnt find anything about conflict of interest being a reason for deletion, it only states that it undermines neutrality. but states only the content can be cause for issue not who posted it but should be made obvious who posted it.

also i dont know what this GNG thing is. what is the purpose of removing articles from wikipedia? is it to remove pages that are not viewed then shouldnt it have a view tracker that flags it, then see if its up to date? remove if out of date/irrelevant?

[gloomy forge]

I do not see any weird things there, seems to run all good. great RAM as well.

[ionic sleet]

damn we both rocking boomer systems. mines a i5-3570k gtx670

[gloomy forge]

boomer system = everything that is 3 years or older

[ionic sleet]

nah thats adult. boomer is 10+, adult is 4-9, teen is 2-3

[tight bramble]

Lemme show ya moine!

[ionic sleet]

also the entire thing needs to be the same old not just one component

[strange owl]

but can it run Crysis?

[ionic sleet]

I find it hilarious that "can it run Crysis" is an actual benchmark name which is also in the crysis remaster

[gloomy forge]

I mean no PC really can run Crysis that well

[strange owl]

the meme did get quite popular for a while

I remember playing the game with like idk, 20 fps

[ionic sleet]

I think modern systems can run crysis but not the remaster on "can it run crysis" mode

[tight bramble]

Kablam!

[gloomy forge]

Ohhh nice, case on the same level for easy fixing, I made my own wooden elevation because I'm big in DIY stuff.

[indigo wadi]

damn

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-E/M.2 Rev X.0x --- This is my motherboard and I'm unsure of what upgraded video card would go well with it and I'm not sure how to check

[ionic sleet]

my system is going on 13 years now

[tight bramble]

Its got a 5800x3d, rtx 4080 super, 32gigs of ram, and 2tb of name. Plus an aio cooler.

Wasn't cheap lol

[ionic sleet]

my dad likely got ripped off when he got it. he traded a 2k$ tattoo for it but the owner likely swapped out the gpu

[patent bear]

Anything that doesn't have non-primary source significance, such as all sorts of gaming news outlets hyping it and the like, and doesn't come across as an advert or whatever.

[gloomy forge]

I love to make stuff work.

[patent bear]

Anyway, I'm quitting wikipedia editing again. That guy is a goal-post mover as far as I'm concerned.

[gloomy forge]

I love to just keep on working on the PC and enjoying my time making stuff work and run well, optimizing things and all, but my PC is fairly beefy. 2020 hardware and all.

[indigo wadi]

my legacy chars 😂

[tight bramble]

Yeah I went about ten years of having laptops, to this being my first desktop.

[shut ocean]

How are you scrapping with someone on Wikipedia

thats some crazy shit

[reef geyser]

People trying to remove the Wikipedia page for Heartbound

[shut ocean]

why lol

[ocean agate]

always take care of your health. no reason to get dragged down, be well

[patent bear]

It's not the first time there's been wikipedia drama in general, outside of anything here.

[late bane]

oh true!, I haven't tried last epoch with my new GPU

[reef geyser]

Stated reason, "insufficient relevance or noteworthiness" to justify an entry.

Real reason? Attack vector due to recent drama.

[patent bear]

Arbitration on wikipedia sucks.

It always has.

[shut ocean]

Don't wanna be mean, but going as far as to scrap someone through Wikipedia notes has got to be the most terminally online shit I have ever seen

[patent bear]

I suggested he was a sockpuppet at first, based on correlation, but he explained himself, and I chose to not continue that accusation.

[reef geyser]

Self-righteousness is a hell of a drug. See: The Crusades

[shut ocean]

At what point do you just let it go lol

[tight bramble]

Damn that change log reads like the Somme. Holy shit you're a warrior!

[patent bear]

Not my first rodeo.

[reef geyser]

Most of the loud voices will die down in time. The basic, sheepish trolls and harassers with vapid motives will run out of steam.

[shut ocean]

It also goes the other way too. When do viewers/supporters stop defending

[reef geyser]

When the attacks stop.

Attacking and defending do not have parity

Defense is a responsive action to attacking, which is instigative

[shut ocean]

Gotta be plenty of current viewers just trying to enjoy a stream and they are pulled into drama not willingly

[indigo wadi]

Last Epoch feeling a lot smoother

[tight bramble]

I'll never stop. I hate bullies.

[reef geyser]

It's the trolls that bring the drama though. If you watch any of the recent streams, it IS normal and chill. Fans aren't bringing up the drama. It's always the hoppers and trolls coming in that re-mention it and re-bring it up.

[indigo wadi]

holyyyyyyyyy, LE feeling really damn good

[shut ocean]

Cant say im a real supporter of either side. I casually watch and just curious about the response

[reef geyser]

We like that 👍

[shut ocean]

Cant the mods just ban and no one speak about it. Why does it have to be brought up again and again seems futile

[reef geyser]

That actually is exactly what happens with about 90% of instances. A ton of bans are automated and don't even make it to chat.

[patent bear]

There's already auto banning in place. On top of that, mods are paid employees to help out.

And some ban-worthy posts are just muted for 2 weeks.

[shut ocean]

But I keep seeing these back and forth posts on twitter/youtube doesnt seem like it helps. Just digs the hole that much deeper

[patent bear]

And if Thor wanted to restrict stream chat to followers/subs only, he'd have done it ages ago, but there'd be reasons why he's left it open, such as adding to the conspiracies pile.

[vestal breach]

contrary opinions are allowed and discussion is allowed its only when its used in a hostile manner and spiraling discussions that its an issue

[shut ocean]

Idk maybe im not thinking about it the right way. I just figure in my opinion letting it pass silently without feeding trolls would be a wise way around it

[patent bear]

And that too, but 99% of posts are outright trolls/bots.

[patent bear]

There's too much exposure of the issue to have it pass silently, else it would've stopped by now.

[reef geyser]

Well the youtube I haven't seen too much of the back part of the back and forth. For about a week it's been all one-sided, and Thor is basically just leaving that area alone. As for twitter end of things, he isn't on there constantly spraying responses or fanning flames. He tends to make a succinct post here and there when there are a set of issues that can be readily addressed, and then he leaves it once more. It's still 99% coming from one side of the issue, mostly circle-J-ing themselves all day lol

[shut ocean]

Why is there so much exposure all of a sudden though

seems like it stemmed from SKG

[reef geyser]

That's exactly it.

[shut ocean]

From what I garnered isn't Thor partly to blame then? Or am I missing something

[patent bear]

He's apologised his part, but the attacks won't stop.

[gloomy forge]

Yeah its a complex issue, of course there is no 100% innosense BUT the blowback by people have been a little bit too extreme compared of what happened.

[patent bear]

Thor has it all summarised in his tweets and #news

[brazen drift]

He apologized for the personal attack on Ross but because he wont apologize for... his opinions, i guess, people keep attacking him, his code, and his ferrets.

[reef geyser]

The short and sweet version is that 10 months ago, he put out a couple of videos explaining his stance on the issue. He didn't stay on it after that, his part was said and he left it alone. The SKG side was coming up on their deadline and had to re-invigorate their side to get their signature goal. As such, they had to use their biggest opponent, Thor, as a rallying point. But since Thor didn't spam the issue, they had to go all the way back 10 months ago to dig up his old vids. The community then backlashed against Thor out of nowhere on stuff from 10 months ago as if it was posted the day before. Thor's initial response to this included some personal attacks, which he apologized for.

[brazen drift]

And even if he did now the goalpost would just shift, or people would start calling him a coward for changing his mind, or telling him hes gotta apologize for LITERALLY every single slight people have against him.

[indigo wadi]

actually, who here is a pc tech wizard?

[golden mirage]

I'm more of a PC gremlin. I'm good at breaking things, not so much making them work.

[shut ocean]

There was verifiable proof though that the signatures did decrease or am I way off track here. Sorry I dont condone the hate its unreal how awful people on the interent are

[tight bramble]

Me am, somewhat. Well the hardware side, not the IT side.

[indigo wadi]

the signature momentum was already on it's way down

[indigo wadi]

Hardware is what i'm looking at.

If I change my resolution to a lower resolution, will that help with my GPU not reaching high temperatures?

[brazen drift]

It was actually the opposite. Votes were already on the decline before Thor's video and they kept declining slowly. no significant drop, like a cliff or anything. just a casual slope. Then they SKYROCKETTED with all the hate coverage.

[reef geyser]

The voting was on a downward track for the 10 month period, because the movement didn't have steam. They reinvigorated it at the finish line by highlighting their biggest opposition.

[tight bramble]

Yeah, but the biggest two things you can do for that are increase airflow, and lower graphics settings.

[brazen drift]

hit enter like a CHUMP

[indigo wadi]

already taken care of both of those.

[brazen drift]

dont boolie meeeeee

[tight bramble]

Next would be to lower voltage, but that requires bios know-how that I dont have.

[reef geyser]

Dust buildup? One or more fans stopped working? Ambient temperature?

[indigo wadi]

What about just doing a lower resolution on the video game? or does lower desktop resolution work better?

[tight bramble]

Boffa dem

[indigo wadi]

already taken care of. We're talking old gpu on a semi-newer game

[shut ocean]

Alright Ill do some more research of my own. Thanks for the chat

[reef geyser]

Ah, then a decent one would be to check if you're running in windowed mode.

Doing this continues to render the desktop. Fullscreen mode lets the game take over the display, and stops rendering the desktop, saving power.

[indigo wadi]

Borderless

[reef geyser]

Yeah that should mean the desktop continues to render.

When you alt-tab between desktop and game, is there a delay?

Appeciable delay

More than a quarter second

[indigo wadi]

if it's full screen? lemme check, but imma say yes

okay, no

but im also running dual monitor

[reef geyser]

Ah. Dual monitor will eat too

[indigo wadi]

will it really?

[reef geyser]

You're rendering a whole extra screen

Consider going to 1-screen while you have the game in question up.

[indigo wadi]

so I should run singular monitor when playing newer games then?

[reef geyser]

It would be a good option.

[indigo wadi]

so one monitor is bigger than the other.

[reef geyser]

Also no delay when alt tabbing to the desktop means it's rendering in the background

[indigo wadi]

does it matter which one I use for singular?

[reef geyser]

If they are different resolutions

Or refresh rates

Then yes

[indigo wadi]

they're the same resolutions

[reef geyser]

Then there should be no difference. A larger display of the same resolution doesn't affect the card, just the display hardware itself. Larger display cells, but the bit by bit work of the card is the same.

[indigo wadi]

one is an asus flatscreen, the other is an acer curved screen

[reef geyser]

Same ratio?

[indigo wadi]

yee

[reef geyser]

Then both should be the same tax on the card

Other ingame considerations are texture detail and draw distance

[indigo wadi]

Here's what's interesting though

If I turn off my asus, there's no real change, but if I turn off the acer, everything shifts over to the Asus

[reef geyser]

Sounds like the Acer is your primary

[indigo wadi]

yee

[reef geyser]

Turning off the secondary just disables your extra. Turning off your main means the other one needs to be the main now

[indigo wadi]

so then turning off the main would be the way to go?

[reef geyser]

Either would have the same effect in regards to performance saving. Turning off the extra would be one less step, but it doesn't really matter as long as everything comes up ok. Would just come down to preference for which screen you're used to using when playing.

[gloomy forge]

I haven't looked into this channel and theres an entire new discussion

[reef geyser]

We're saving Chazore carbon credits XD

[indigo wadi]

the thing is, if I turn off the asus, programs running on that screen don't shift over

[reef geyser]

Yeah because they are on your extra. Like detaching a sidecar that doesn't have an engine.

[indigo wadi]

Okay, turned off the acer

I guess I could just unplug the asus..

[gloomy forge]

yo nice!

I was just chilling in voice chat here, cool people here.

[reef geyser]

I refuse to believe that any of you have voices. You are circles in discord, nothing more! 🙉 🙈

[gloomy forge]

I didn't had mic on but it was fun.

its very chaotic.

Many people chatting.

I never did that before, its usually just 2 or 3.

4 with me included.

[indigo wadi]

Last Epoch brought out dragon themed cosmetics...

[gloomy forge]

Was that because of the chinese year of 2024?

or are these new themes?

[indigo wadi]

I have no idea

LE just crashed though LOL

[reef geyser]

Well if it didn't crash your whole system then it wasn't an overheat.

[indigo wadi]

nah, def game related

was viewing the new cosmetics

[reef geyser]

Ah.

[gloomy forge]

Ye, but if its happening frequently it could be either a driver problem or safety shutdown of the GPU so it doesn't overheat.

[indigo wadi]

GPU was still okay at around 80

[reef geyser]

A safety shutdown that doesn't power down the whole system though?

[indigo wadi]

hrm...

just crashed again

while viewing cosmetics

[gloomy forge]

nono I mean that before it shuts down it usually just shuts down the process.

The same page?

[indigo wadi]

yup

@reallehnert @john_shadberry @oxcrowx @The_CodingJesus That is not a finished block and is a snippet while developing that cutscene. There is absolutely no reason to make a switch statement in this way where one option does nothing.

At the time of this screenshot I had not yet built out the entire storyline section for Rhode and her

HILARIOUS

[gloomy forge]

its either a bug or vram allocation issue, can you look into your driver settings or your task manager to check if vram is full.

[reef geyser]

Thor sleep! 🛏️

[minor nymph]

No?

[reef geyser]

🐑🐑 🐑 Count the sheep, u need to rest

[indigo wadi]

once LE starts behaving

[reef geyser]

Wait what time is it...

Ohhhhhhh you probably already slept and I'm not mathing here

[indigo wadi]

He hasnt

[reef geyser]

EXPOSED

I'm telling Khronos

[indigo wadi]

currently while running LE. I did switch back to borderless window w/ regular resolution

[reef geyser]

Looks like @gloomy forge had it right. VRAM issue

[indigo wadi]

specifically with the cosmetic window

i've never had crashing issues with LE before

[rough maple]

Every time I imagine their critiques ('cuz I don't want to go back on Twitter to read 'em), another group of neurons of mine dies. 🫠

[gloomy forge]

Wokege

[buoyant thistle]

The damage is done. Why try to continue to make things clear?

[indigo wadi]

It's important to have receipts and clarification for those in the middle

OH SHIT

Min requirements updated

[buoyant thistle]

It says there's todo sections and if you fail to understand that, then why even bother making a scene or say anything.

[brazen drift]

Also if someones trying to call you a liar to thousands of people you should defend yourself

[reef geyser]

There are a lot of people still coming into the whole issue with no context, and being swayed one way or the other. Surgical addressments of issues like this help to sway the neutral parties away from sheepdom.
