sorry for asking yall

[proud depot]

its entirely possible that the game was being streamed to the fridge, so not technically running it. But its hard to tell from the video and the fridge might have downloaded the game from the laptop

[silent token]

it was just a question

[cerulean light]

idk he didnt seem like he was trying to be rude

[crude canyon]

Dont be sorry for just asking

[silent token]

thanks

[cerulean light]

true

[lunar moth]

People have spent the past month or so trolling by coming in here with "just asking questions" that has been answered hundred if not thousands of times before.
If you are legitimately just being curious, sorry but you are getting caught in the crossfire due to other bad faith trolls prior to you.

But as long as you are just asking and want to learn stuff, ask, and leave it at that. As long as you don't personally cause a mess, it is all good!
Hope this explains the reception a lil'bit.

[exotic forge]

Joined July 28, 2025. Asking the same question repeatedly despite being answered already. Taking everything drama slop YouTubers say as fact but aggressively questioning everything we're saying despite explaining it over and over again.

Thank you for being civil but I hope you do argue in good faith and aren't just here to sea lion.

Now that several of us has answered your question. I hope that satisfies it.

[silent token]

ok

[indigo wadi]

if a display is only being used as a display, it's not going to respond to touch when something interactive is streamed to it.

[proud depot]

IDK I don't know how smart fridges work. Either way I'm impressed

[ripe hazel]

Samsung just integrated a tablet into their fridge. It is kind of pointless.

[indigo wadi]

Even if a monitor has touch screen capabilities, if something is streamed to it, it's unlikely it has the programming to know how to respond to that specific programs touch input.

So it would have to be installed onto the device.

[ripe hazel]

The Samsung fridge would be more impressive if the tablet was modular and upgradable

[proud depot]

I don't get the point of a lot of smart appliances. Why do I need my stove to connect to the internet? It shouldn't be running when I'm not home anyway

[exotic forge]

Anyway, impressive how Thor's game runs on a smart fridge

[idle hill]

Here's the real question: Has someone made a mobile version of Heartbound, if Thor hasn't already?

[indigo wadi]

it's just futuristic tech to look cool

Welcome to the server btw. Is this your very first comment?

I think Thor did a great job getting his game to run on a smart fridge

[proud depot]

https://tenor.com/view/donut-donuts-gif-11954808060525177555

[idle hill]

That wasn't Thor doing the compatibility tho

[indigo wadi]

Aye, that was Streets

[proud depot]

he didn't design it to that?

[frozen nimbus]

Least obvious bait

[exotic forge]

Thor is the only one who wrote all the code

[indigo wadi]

Thor designed the game, Streets did the compatibility for smart fridge

[ripe hazel]

I could see the point to having a stove that has a gas leak detector that is online to warn you if you aren't home. But so far I haven't ever seen such a feature in any "smart" oven.

[idle hill]

Thor made the game
Steets made it compatible with the samsung fridge

[wicked schooner]

I think you mean Steets

[frozen nimbus]

Oh I didn't know it was streets who did it

[terse pelican]

That's a fair smart feature

[dry osprey]

This searchbar is a meme placement. Not like you can "google" in discord

Same reason why people keep installing Doom on every damn thing

[frozen nimbus]

I havent watched it ok

[ripe hazel]

It would also be nice if a "smart" fridge could warn you if the door has been left open for an excessive period of time

[exotic forge]

I think Heartbound is just cool and this is another cool thing about it is all

[idle hill]

smh

[ripe hazel]

Why not?

[shell osprey]

Just fyi it's really unhelpful to "defend" Thor like this when it directly contradicts his own words. Thor himself says he doesn't know what Streets did to get the game running on the Fridge.

[idle hill]

installs DOOM on an RTD bus

[solemn badger]

It would be nice if there was a technical write-up of how it got ported

[silent token]

ermmmmm i plan on playing the game in a fridge when i get one in 50 years

[terse pelican]

IIRC, Some ''modern'' fridges ( 2010ish ) beep if they're left open for too long, But if you're not home you won't hear it

[idle hill]

So who's got the ticket on the troll

[proud depot]

I think thor thought the idea was funny, so made a challenge. I'm not sure if he ever originally expected it to actually happen

[ripe hazel]

If it is smart, why can't it tell my phone?

[exotic forge]

I think my fridge already does that

[ripe hazel]

I had to buy a Fridggi to put on my fridge to add that

[proud depot]

as soon as you get a better personality

[shell osprey]

Genuinely what are you expecting from this line of conversation

[terse pelican]

I get what you're saying, These weren't smart fridges, Just modern ones, But if it's a smart one, It should have that kind of features

It's bait, That's all.

[proud depot]

a fridge with a tablet in the door. literally thats it

They didn't have the effort in them to bait properly.

[cerulean light]

how do you charge the tablet

oh thanks

[ionic sleet]

if it works on a fridge I assume it would work on a phone

[cerulean light]

he asked how a fridge is charged

[ionic sleet]

a fridge with a little computer and screen on the front. you plug the fridge in and that is how its powered

[shell osprey]

we're now at, what, smart fridges aren't real so how could HB run on one?

[proud depot]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[cerulean light]

yes, thats what i said... and he agreed...

[frozen nimbus]

I think they just dont know much about smart fridges, but no, it is not like gpt

[ionic sleet]

I do not understand how a person not know what a smart fridge is though

[silent token]

i dont have any in my country

[frozen nimbus]

How did we go to discussing the functions off a smart fridge

[ionic sleet]

smart tvs have been here longer though

[terse pelican]

Comparing a Smart device to chat GPT is like comparing a Car to a Book

[proud depot]

see thats the one I actually have and use the functions of. Smart tv's are useful as far as I'm concerned

[cerulean light]

a curious person shouldnt be accussed because hes curious

[silent token]

thats how we evolved

[proud depot]

its a plus to get amazon prime onto the tv without having to hook up a computer

[cerulean light]

true!

[ionic sleet]

no what im saying is that smart tvs and other smart devices have been here longer and is used everywhere by now, even a phone is a smart device. so knowing what a smart fridge is, is a safe assumption despite not knowing how it works

[proud depot]

the guy who got kicked/banned kind of made it obvious he was a troll by starting out asking about something the drama-tubers latched onto and getting combatative when called out

[ionic sleet]

and given this discord its easy to assume trolls

[cerulean light]

but j1 hasnt done the second part yet or isnt going to

y'know once smart appliances become the norm, we would all just be saying Tv, Fridge, Toaster instead of Smart X, like how smartphones are just called phones now

not really. for a washer its about the brand and the size/settings/interface. this washer was having some other problems so i went to look at different washers. my washer was right next to the same "Dumb" washer, size and settings were identical etc.

not much cheaper. this was an 800$ washer.

idk how to explain

[silent token]

but you never used them

[ionic sleet]

so they generally tend to "Market" a product with smart features and price it the same as the product with no smart features

[shell osprey]

try starting with the sorts of emotions you're feeling, and as you type those out it can help you figure out some of the more concrete details

[cerulean light]

thanks i might use that in the future

[ionic sleet]

that way they can direct you to the app to make more money via advertisements/subscriptions etc.

If I'm reading this correctly, Steam is bending the knee to Visa/Mastercard's request to ban certain genres on the store otherwise Steam wouldn't be able to accept Visa/Mastercard as payments

[indigo wadi]

I see Thor is playing breadcraft, crafting bread for the mods

[vocal breach]

I hopped on Bitcraft just to give him that bread

[exotic forge]

I went to websites that Visa/Mastercard would frown upon for research purposes and did notice that Visa/Mastercard aren't available as payment options there

[proud depot]

https://tenor.com/view/stevecarrell-the-office-not-suspicious-at-all-gif-9198893

[indigo wadi]

whats funny is that steam has steamwallet, which you can just load funds from visa/mastercard, so really, they wouldn't even be touching that stuff

[shell osprey]

payment processors never care about whether their services are being used specifically for the individual products they take issue with

[exotic forge]

That's true. Steam also does offer adding Visa and Mastercard directly though

[shell osprey]

if a market serves that content at all, they threaten the entire lot

[indigo wadi]

I also think steam cards are a thing

so really, nothing is lost

[exotic forge]

Just because I'm not super knowledgeable about this, I am going through these genres to see if Visa/Mastercard supports them in other places

[shell osprey]

you'll probably find some examples of them doing so because they don't really put that much effort into researching what they try to flex on

I assume it's largely the third party lobby groups doing the research and forwarding their hitlist to the processors

[indigo wadi]

@ocean agate so when do elite specs open up?

[shell osprey]

thinking about it, I'd expect that amazon's amateur literature section contains examples that are nominally against the payment processors' rules

[exotic forge]

I don't know how popular that section is but if it is those are the next ones to get censored.

[shell osprey]

the content would be largely text only so it might skate free tbh

[proud depot]

do they have a problem with people buying erotic literature at the grocery store?

[exotic forge]

I mean they probably do if it's a big enough of a category

But I think erotic literature in grocery stores is too small of a fish

[indigo wadi]

or booze

[shell osprey]

realistically speaking they probably dont care much about their supposed goals and it's really just to distract people from the mandatory digital ID stuff flaring up in the UK, EU and australia atm which serves as an effective way to surveil and censor citizens

[jolly sky]

Yea, both the Online Safety Act and the Visa/Mastercard thing is a double wammy to purchasing and access freedoms

And its wack as all hell

[ionic sleet]

triple wammy. It highlight a massive security issues for countries as well

Welp
Ig now the cencorship thingy has now start targeting horror game after nuking all nsfw content

[indigo wadi]

really? what kind of question is that

[lyric venture]

A troll question clearly.

[ripe hazel]

Based on the logo, I thought the MIT X11 windows project took over Twitch

[indigo wadi]

what?

[jolly sky]

This shit so dumb. Payment Processors should not be overriding the law to restric purchases.

[ripe hazel]

oh.... I am thinking of twitter

[jolly sky]

Now Twitter definitely shouldn't exist

[indigo wadi]

twitter still exists ya

[ripe hazel]

I saw the fixupx.com and it threw me off

[ripe hazel]

does it? it operates how you remember?

[jolly sky]

Oh its just a workaround so it can be embedded in a chat without having to actually go to the site itself

[sharp sleet]

Do you think he changed to "X" as a hint he was killing it?

[proper phoenix]

This is from the itch.io thing

And the UK thing as well

[ripe hazel]

I think walking into the lobby with a kitchen sink and firing all the staff was a hint it was being killed

[proper phoenix]

VPN stock on the rise

[jolly sky]

Yep, and the Itch.io thing is tied to the Payment Processors actively going over the law and controlling what can, and cannot be paid for

[jolly sky]

Nah he just has a weird fascination with the letter, he even tried to call Paypal "X" back in the day

[lyric venture]

Twitter isn't going anywhere.

[indigo wadi]

people screaming into the void? yes

[lyric venture]

Or X, or whatever he wants to call it.

[covert monolith]

considering what he and grimes named their one kid, not all that surprising

[lapis flame]

i thought it was mostly because he owns x.com

[lyric venture]

Its just even more unhinged than it used to be, which is semi saying something.

[jolly sky]

Lmao I was about to say

[ripe hazel]

yes

[proper phoenix]

X is no longer cool
This is not 2015 anymore its no longer cool to put x in your name

Aren't most CEOs? Wasn't there a study that concluded the most CEOs are high functioning psychopaths?

dont even give him the reward of being high functioning

[indigo wadi]

"Research suggests that a significant percentage of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, with estimates ranging from 4% to as high as 12%. However, claims that most CEOs are high-functioning psychopaths are often exaggerated and not strongly supported by scientific evidence."

[jolly sky]

Starr-mie

[indigo wadi]

traits != is

[covert monolith]

..wait is elon a political figure? are we breaking a rule?

[flint sinew]

judging commencing

[sleek seal]

banhammer! Scatter!

[proper phoenix]

Judge this
Tadc art i found on twitter

[ripe hazel]

Ah

[indigo wadi]

He was involved in government, so techncially speaking

[lyric venture]

I mean he is, but hes also a CEO of a technology company (actually several) so its likely depending on context.

[covert monolith]

I guess, but even more presidents we avoid mentioning bc it can spiral

[ripe hazel]

Is he running for a political office?

[indigo wadi]

No

he wants to create another political group as a 3rd vs dems/repubs

[proper phoenix]

Isnt the dud trying to create a 3rd party in America or st

[indigo wadi]

Yes, doesn't mean he wants to run for president

[ripe hazel]

Once that is created then maybe he at that point is political

[undone dragon]

Thor went to nap again?

[terse pelican]

He had IRL stuff to do

[flint sinew]

chores

[indigo wadi]

He was head of Doge, he is a political figure, technically

[ripe hazel]

Well, he can't run for president of America, he isn't a natural born citizen

[covert monolith]

even tho i have a hard time thinking of it as such, it is still government official. Or whatever

[flint sinew]

lets leave it at this for the discussion on who he is

[covert monolith]

we need a thumbs up ferret reaction

[indigo wadi]

okay, he's a dick. Next topic

[ripe hazel]

I'm confused, I thought Steve Davis was head?

[flint sinew]

[indigo wadi]

Elon was original head, then he wasnt, then he was, then he wasn't, who knows at this point

[ripe hazel]

Ok

shrug

[indigo wadi]

@ocean agate this looks so weird

[ripe hazel]

Apple Maps is providing the directions?

[lyric venture]

Its been a bit since I have logged in, whats with the arrows?

[lapis tartan]

Political double speak is awful... Say both things and then quote yourself as right in either situation. Or lie.

[indigo wadi]

pathing addon

[ripe hazel]

Still reminds me of the first year Apple Maps was released :P

[terse pelican]

What game is that?

[indigo wadi]

Guild Wars 2

[terse pelican]

Ah

[lapis tartan]

I like all the frogs, just pathing about.

[terse pelican]

I should give it a try

[undone dragon]

and @flint sinew many thanks!

[ripe hazel]

But.... can you run it on a Samsung Fridge?

[indigo wadi]

base is f2p, so you lose nothing

[flint sinew]

?

[terse pelican]

Exactly why I should try it

[indigo wadi]

Engineer Turret mode 😄

[lyric venture]

They are adding a bard idea so thats what im looking forward to and will likely hop on to give that a shot.

[ripe hazel]

it is part RTS?

[lyric venture]

No, its just a turret like in Dune, you plop it down and it shoots things

[indigo wadi]

it's very much action oriented

[undone dragon]

answered me here but I could only do one reply 😄

[lyric venture]

Its a "pet" that helps you as an engineer

[flint sinew]

oh, yeah np

[indigo wadi]

TURRETS

got so many, i may as well have syndrome 😂

[sharp sleet]

Thor Uma Musume stream when?

[ripe hazel]

There is like 5 different Dune games now :P

[indigo wadi]

Dune RTS = best

[ripe hazel]

Dune 2/2000 by Westwood Studios?

[indigo wadi]

Exactly

and on that note

SCREW YOU EA

[ripe hazel]

ha :)

I like Dune (1992)

By Cryo Interactive

I asked on the Microids discord server for them to release Dune (1992) on GoG and they said they would pass along the request

I don't think they will

[lyric venture]

Fair, was refering to Dune Awakening that recently came out

[lyric venture]

Yeah, first Dune game I Played was Dune 2. Im happy that the new game included the music from that game.

[ripe hazel]

I am waiting a year for it to drop to half the current price

[ripe hazel]

It did have great music. So did Dune (1992).

[gloomy forge]

They wont release it yet, GOG has Dune scheduled but they rather want to put all the classic dune games into one. I'm sure its coming somewhen though since its a mad popular request.

[ripe hazel]

Dune (1992) video game has visuals from Dune (1984) movie and I think the film studios want to forget that movie existed

[gloomy forge]

Which is a shame, david lynch is a absolute legend and the movies special effects were groundbreaking/lifethreatening.

[ripe hazel]

David Lynch wanted to be removed from the credits

[gloomy forge]

Dune 2000 was fantastic

[ripe hazel]

yes, a lot of RTS exists because of Dune 2000 as an inspiration

[gloomy forge]

Yes and no, it was more that he was ashamed of his own work. Not because it was bad in a general sense.

[indigo wadi]

C&C was before Dune 2000 iirc

[gloomy forge]

5 years before.

I have to say CC1 did a phenomenal job blending FMVs and game together.

[lyric venture]

Yeah, really it went Dune 2, then Warcraft and then Command and Conquer

[gloomy forge]

still holds up.

[lyric venture]

Thats what really was the beginning of RTS

[ripe hazel]

The sound track to the movie was great. The acting was good. It is just the script didn't compress into 137 minutes very well. :(

[indigo wadi]

C&C has one of the best soundtracks

[lyric venture]

Yeah Westwood was very good at soundtracks imo

[indigo wadi]

Hellmarch is iconic

[gloomy forge]

Herzog Zwei did the whole "coordination" approach that you find in all RTS where timing matters so well though. Underrated game.

[indigo wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3--884GDTs

[ripe hazel]

I think it helped that Dune II was also released on Amiga

[gloomy forge]

truuuuu But also all of the older CC songs were superb. Destructible Times still is great and holds up so well.

[indigo wadi]

oh absolutely

Joseph David Kucan is the reason why I cheared for Nod

[gloomy forge]

Was that the actor of Kane?

[indigo wadi]

Aye

https://tenor.com/view/brotherhood-of-nod-peace-through-power-chant-speech-kane-gif-16094626894767843561

[gloomy forge]

Yeah he carried to be honest, first time you could feel the charisma of an irl actor inside a game, before that it was just voice acting.

like with the Kohr Ah from Star Control 2.

[ripe hazel]

C&C was released in 1995, PC users had higher expectations for sound at that point than they used to :P

[gloomy forge]

I honestly still think Kane is up there when it came to general acting prowess, he conveyed the villain so well. The acting from CC1 was insane, especially the nod ending which was a huge cutscene (for its time).

[indigo wadi]

given the sound cards used at the time, what we got was amazing

[gloomy forge]

heavy lawnmover man vibes.

Yeah true.

I mean the Amiga had the better sound chip for gaming but soundcards for PC were just universal, which was so novel for tis time.

[indigo wadi]

Yeah, the end of Kane's Wrath is amazing.

[gloomy forge]

because 3 years prior PCs couldn't make good sound.

[indigo wadi]

Absolutely nothing comes after

NOTHING

YOU HEAR ME

NOTHING

[gloomy forge]

Yeah I have to agree, besides mods Kanes Wrath probably is the best command and conquer game too.

with mods I mostly mean openRA mods.

[ripe hazel]

Gravis UltraSound and Pro Audio Spectrum 16 were both released in 1992. Don't judge us on the Adlib and SoundBlaster alone. :P

[gloomy forge]

yeah, though they became more widespread later on.

[ripe hazel]

Gateway 2000 and other OEMs made it a race to the bottom. Creative Labs was willing to compromise quality to maximize their profits.

[junior torrent]

Should my next TTS be about Snowflake? 🤔

[gloomy forge]

Yeah, I mean it was all a bubble anyways.

[jolly sky]

The Legacy of Kain games were the first ones to show me that games can be far more than just purely entertainment, but can be a story as deep, if not moreso than a book, and to this day IMO no game has yet to beat its Writing or Voice Acting

[ripe hazel]

Text to Speech?

[indigo wadi]

Text to Spenis

[gloomy forge]

I remember playing one must fall 2097 with my soundblaster

[junior torrent]

Yeah the "spend 500 bits to give Thor psychic damage"

[ripe hazel]

The age before street fighter :P

[indigo wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/xiaoyu-tekken-tekken3-playstation-psx-gif-22250054

[gloomy forge]

Not really true, street fighter already was popular. There were a lot of SF2 likes before One Must Fall 2097, which was also a SF2 like.

[ripe hazel]

What aspect of Snowflake do you want to cover? The AT&T data breach? :)

[gloomy forge]

There was a great SF2 like for the amiga.

[jolly sky]

Tekken 3 was the game that made me take up TaeKwonDo, 'cause I was infatuated with Hwoarang's sick moves

[gloomy forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJYKtfSSZC8

[ripe hazel]

I think Snowflake is a great cautionary tale on how "AI cloud services" are making data security worse

[junior torrent]

Snowflame. Sorry mistype. He's a... hero of sorts.

[ripe hazel]

Oh. That is very different.

[gloomy forge]

[ripe hazel]

I know nothing about Snowflame, I am sorry. Maybe AT&T should have used him instead?

[junior torrent]

Very. I'm not the kind of nerd that knows about AI and computers and what not. Lol

[junior torrent]

I don't know how a phone company could use a hero that runs on a certain drug but sure

[ripe hazel]

That is ok. I just figured given the spelling and the context of this discord server you were refering to something else ... :P

[junior torrent]

You're good. But now you got me intrigued. Snowflake?

[ripe hazel]

Given AT&T's mismangement of both DirectTV, HBO, Warner Brother and DC comics, I think some at AT&T upper ranks must also run on a certain drug of some sort

[ripe hazel]

this one?

[waxen comet]

next thing i know is that theres a heroine named heroin and her power is to lethally dose people on heroin

[flint sinew]

🤨

[terse pelican]

That hurt my head reading

[indigo wadi]

so what happens when his dealer is out?

[worthy ivy]

Super Street Fighter II Turbo
got a copy of that somewhere on 3.5"

[gloomy forge]

Yeah that was the "final" version of SF2, that game took ages to set up.

my fav fighting game on the Amiga is a game called Chambers of Shaolin, which wasn't really good, but holy moly did it have atmosphere.

Even bad games can be amazing depending on the atmosphere/vibe. I remember me and a friend casually ditching all the SNES experiences just to listen to Amiga game soundtracks and to play janky as hell games.

[frosty socket]

every time someone says/mentions "Shaolin" my brain INSTANTLY goes "SHAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"

[gloomy forge]

you mean the cartoon? there was a old xbox game called kung fu chaos that also had a similar vibe, but it wasn't related.

had a fun intro too.

[waxen comet]

that show was awesome when i was a kid

[gloomy forge]

Yeah it was a good time for cartoons.

[vivid maple]

wtf is mouthwashing

and why did itch take it down

[flint sinew]

horror game i think

and i guess bc of the nature of the game's contents

idk

[vivid maple]

well theres worse being shown in theatres a lot of the time

kids can still watch horror films

always scapegoating games

[proud depot]

I've read the plot, it would be rated R for sure

possibly even X depending on the mood of the MPAA

[vivid maple]

yet kids will still sneak in and watch the movies

and wonder why they are having nightmares

[ripe hazel]

Jack Thompson warned us it would come to this! :P

[vivid maple]

it all comes down to parenting

a lot of these parents dont deserve kids

[indigo wadi]

before games, it was movies, before movies it was music, before music it was books. There's ALWAYS a target

[lapis flame]

oh, were on eugenics?

[vivid maple]

oh i know

[indigo wadi]

no?

[ripe hazel]

I think the certification process to become a parent is more about a biological process than it is anything logical regarding "deserving" :P

[vivid maple]

i have learned a lot more being an uncle to an infant girl and 2 boys than everyone else has

[indigo wadi]

well, ppl should have that choice to play it or not

[vivid maple]

if you want to play it more power to you

[indigo wadi]

that's why there's a kerfuffle.

[idle hill]

I think Visa also has a problem with ||Anya committing Sudoku|| in the story.

[indigo wadi]

collective shout are the ones pressuring, yes

[vivid maple]

yeah pressuring for censorship by going after horror games

they went after the gooner games first

[ripe hazel]

can we please reconsider ever using that last word again? do you really want to someday be asked to explain what you mean by that?

[proud depot]

Also ||cannibalism||

[indigo wadi]

it was originally under the guides of "non-consensual" content, but it's branched out much broader now

[idle hill]

Horror is art that is made to disturb
Visa/Mastercard blocking horror games is LITERALLY censoring freedom of creativity

[indigo wadi]

The Forest/Sons of The Forest should be banned then

[vivid maple]

andy and leyley has cannibalism but i dont see anyone complaining about that

[proud depot]

let it be known I tried not to spoil the game

[idle hill]

Pretty sure they have more of a problem with the in-family child relationship

[proud depot]

also myself and subsequently y'all just lost the game

[indigo wadi]

I don't get why Australia is always having groups that try to censor things.

[vivid maple]

oh you mean the ||incest part||

[idle hill]

It's just karens that can't handle things existing that they don't like

[proud depot]

just wait till they try and go up against gta6 and the likes of rockstar

[high canyon]

mhhhhh burger

[idle hill]

have they already censored Baldur's Gate? with the bear scene

[indigo wadi]

CS: WE'RE GONNA SHUT YOU DOWN!!
Rockstar: First time eh?

[vivid maple]

oh just like HOAs exist so karens can police people around with property that they dont have jurisdiction over?

[ripe hazel]

Try watching Footloose (1984, PG). They think they are saving the world from sin. :P

[vivid maple]

naw what they are doing is creating more sins

[ripe hazel]

You will never be accepted into Jack Thompson's cult

[gloomy forge]

[indigo wadi]

That was the mid-Western USA during that time

[ripe hazel]

The movie was so on point they remade it in 2011

[idle hill]

In the next FMA there's a sin named "Karen", and she exists only to boss everyone else around and complain

[ripe hazel]

Trying to censor art is a never ending cycle

[junior torrent]

Yep.

[exotic forge]

It's just visa and mastercard right

kind of hard to miss those boobies

[winged knoll]

[ripe hazel]

Then why aren't they applying the same rules to the sale of books and movies?

[indigo wadi]

hypocrites

[exotic forge]

Idk they're frying to big fish first i guess

[vivid maple]

yeah i just removed the embed

view at your own discretion

[gentle mortar]

Oh yeah, didnt they mass delete an entire article website's catalog, because one writer critised them?

[ripe hazel]

Is it really the big fish?

[winged knoll]

Hmm i dont think that was CS reporting them

[vivid maple]

yuppers

[vivid maple]

rather it was anyone defending CS

[exotic forge]

Well it's an easy target. I think in this example, they just tell one company ie: Steam and Steam does the rest

[vivid maple]

lets hope japan wins against visa

[vivid maple]

oh btw nice uncle roger pfp

[ripe hazel]

What is Japan doing?

[exotic forge]

Appreciate it

[vivid maple]

going after visa for antitrust law violations

[winged knoll]

Or could be twitter bot doing it thing, as the author did use aggressive language

[worthy ivy]

letting slip the dogs of law

[vivid maple]

their new anti-censorship guy is leading the charge

[ripe hazel]

There is only one?

[winged knoll]

Oh man, japan and anti censorship is peak irony

[indigo wadi]

fr

[winged knoll]

If you know what i mean

[exotic forge]

It kinda reminds you that visa and mastercard do have a monopoly

[winged knoll]

(Is a joke btw)

[ripe hazel]

pendulum seems to swing back and forth in several countries on several topics

[indigo wadi]

I mean...they digitize their porn. It's very odd.

[winged knoll]

It’s about all their corns are required to be censored

XD

[ripe hazel]

If you think that is odd, USA college computer science professors would frequently use a picture of a playboy model in one of their homework assignments

[gloomy forge]

I usually don't talk about the topic but I find it very weird. If a payment processor is pressured though money valve could simply tell visa and mastercard "listen, we pay you guys more than these can do." all of this lobbying is a moneydrain without reaping actual benefits.

[indigo wadi]

tbf, japan has always been a...bit of a different culture when it comes to their sexuality

[serene valley]

Chat

Guess the time

[indigo wadi]

steam has steamwallet. MasterCard literally doesn't have to do anything. Steam could just force everyone to go through steam wallet first

[gloomy forge]

sleep well bruv.

[serene valley]

But revolution kinda too

[distant rapids]

[serene valley]

Can't revolt on a bad night's sleep tho

[vivid maple]

that there is called a duopoly

[exotic forge]

You're right. Valve could say that. I guess it all comes down to who thinks they have more leverage in the relationship.

We found out that in the Valve and Visa/Mastercard relationship, all 3 companies agree that Visa/Mastercard has more leverage.

[winged knoll]

Good eep

[gloomy forge]

@exotic forge yeah but I find it strange, a lot of this seems arbitrary.

[ripe hazel]

Just because a company has more leverage doesn't mean they should call for the burning of books or paintings or games

[gloomy forge]

personally, I wouldn't equal this to bookburning.

[lunar moth]

Well, it has to do mostly with the fact that Visa and Mastercard makes up 90% of all worldwide payment processes in the world, except for China
So... they have more leverage than nearly anyone and anything else on the entire planet

[vivid maple]

alright attempt #2 on getting the story advanced in oblivion cause it keeps freezing when i surrender my gear

[idle hill]

I'mma call for the burning of whatever books got them to think what they're doing right now /s

[idle hill]

yeah its more like banning the sale of books and games

[ripe hazel]

Ok, where does it stop? They already are going after topics that have been accepted in books and movies.

[exotic forge]

It's banning of a sale of erotic books and games more accurately

[lunar moth]

I would, since effectively speaking because of Visa's/Mastercard's reach... they are effectively trying to burn everything in the entire world that doesn't comport to their "values"

[idle hill]

the problem is they're banning non-erotic books and games too

[indigo wadi]

it stops until full control is obtained or the ones with money stop buying

[gloomy forge]

Thats why I wrote that it seems arbitrary. You cannot be reasonable against chaos. It either will never stop or someone counterbalances it.

[exotic forge]

Eventually when they expand to any book or game that has a gun or any sort of violence, I suppose that's when critical mass will hit

[ripe hazel]

So if it is just about erotic, why isn't Song of Solomon also banned?

[idle hill]

is Baldur's Gate 3 banned?

[indigo wadi]

because it's TARGETTED

[exotic forge]

I'm not aware of that particular media sorry

[gloomy forge]

Eh, while you're right on a foundational level I'm not seeing widespread public brainwashing, indoctrination and acceptance of erasing information, history and culture here. But again, I do agree with you on a very surface level basis of "they're trying to control art".

[indigo wadi]

"Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. With this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez. As she follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, Morrison introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized black world."

[gloomy forge]

I won't argue though, I'm mostly just being comfy and reading through stuff here

[ripe hazel]

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Song of Solomon 1&version=KJV

[indigo wadi]

doesn't even come across as erotic

[flint sinew]

🤨

[indigo wadi]

oh that's why

cause bibble

[idle hill]

they cant ban bibble

[exotic forge]

Was this a game? You linked a bible verse

[idle hill]

if they did they'd be in a world of trouble

[ripe hazel]

the rules should be the rules

[flint sinew]

not sure where this topic came into play

[gloomy forge]

[indigo wadi]

religious texts are exempt due to constitution/amendment

[idle hill]

It's literally against the US constitution

[ripe hazel]

read the 66 books sometimes, there some ... stuff ... in them

[gloomy forge]

suddenly bible jumpscare

[flint sinew]

but no religious discussions and dont get into politics

[gloomy forge]

Yeah.

[flint sinew]

some folks need to read the rules again

[idle hill]

this whole visa thing has become political because of the scale of what they're doing

[indigo wadi]

wasn't discussin', just giving reason why X is exempt is all. Believe me, I hate going into that topic

[flint sinew]

i cant squint my eyes in judgement any further okay

[indigo wadi]

you can

don't lie

[exotic forge]

As someone said I can't get into that. I don't think thats a steam game though and they're just going after steam games

[flint sinew]

theyd be closed then i wont see what's being talked about

[indigo wadi]

and?

[flint sinew]

gonna start timing folks out if we keep skirting the rules

[indigo wadi]

All that will be left are Shaye & the Ferrets

[ripe hazel]

I thought we were already heading towards a thermal death or a big crunch but it is impossible to know which because during a big cruch time is experienced backwards

[high canyon]

The world will be better with just Shaye and ferrets

[indigo wadi]

nah, this cycle's simulation will end come 2042 when there's a break down, causing a massive reset on a global scale as everyones programming is brought back to basic c+

[ripe hazel]

Now you are just making things up. We all know that time comes to an end in 2038!

It is documented in wikipedia

[indigo wadi]

There's a minor glitch in 2038 that comes across as a reset but that reset doesn't happen for another 6 more years after.

[ripe hazel]

It won't seem minor when you can no longer get DHCP leases on your IP address :P

[indigo wadi]

(Yes I genuinely believe this reality is a simulation)

[ripe hazel]

What language is it coded in?

[indigo wadi]

01s

[ripe hazel]

That is taking this joke a bit too far, isn't it?

[indigo wadi]

What joke?

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

Im not joking

[ocean agate]

elite specs are available at level 80 after you have unlocked all the other stuff in the hero training

[indigo wadi]

btw, that pathing addon is heckin' useful

[ripe hazel]

So the allegory of the cave ... it is all real?

Am I talking to you or the shadow on the cave wall?!?!

[indigo wadi]

You're talking to 0 & 1s

[ripe hazel]

oh, Tron

You should see The Thirteeth Floor (1999, R), you would like it

[indigo wadi]

I prefer 13 Ghosts

[ripe hazel]

13 Ghosts wasn't a simulation

[indigo wadi]

Wasn't it?

Unable to see "beings" of another reality without the assistance of a monitor lens coded to see that realities beings.

[ripe hazel]

wasn't another reality, it was the same reality out of phase in a different dimension

[indigo wadi]

And those other reality beings being able to interact in our reality (a glitch in the barrier, causing a cross-over event)

Is that why they were able to be sent back when their own code was reset?

[ripe hazel]

Jumanji series of movies had more to do with living in a simulation than 13 Ghosts

[indigo wadi]

pfff, that's just a board game made into a video game made into a movie

[ripe hazel]

The house was tuning in the other dimension much like a radio tunes in radio waves

[indigo wadi]

The house was simply the reset button for them. It got flipped on, they got sent back, the barrier was repaired.

[ripe hazel]

You probably would say the same exact thing about Zathura

13 Ghosts was as much about a simulation as Ghostbusters

[indigo wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/space-tim-curry-gif-7935778

[ripe hazel]

nice

[indigo wadi]

Correct

Why do you think they said to not cross streams? can't cross different languages of code.

[ripe hazel]

You can, it is called linking

[indigo wadi]

They were too primitive to understand that.

[ripe hazel]

as long as both languages follow the same conventions for calling a function, passing arguments and returning a result, you can very much cross languages

python does it all the time

several of the python modules are written in C for performance

but still get called as if they were native python

Linux kernel developers have been discussing for a while linking C and Rust code together

Except most kernel developers feel alergic to learning Rust

[warm trench]

I wrote in TASM, and C, linked those into Professional Basic 7.1, so I had assembly, C and basic all working together. Later I linked those into Quick Basic then Visual Basic. Sometimes I wrote things in Pascal and linked. Had to setup the call and stack strategies. In the 90's.

[carmine sierra]

God I haven't heard of that movie in so long

I remember seeing it a handful of times on whatever channel back in high school

[slim raptor]

I've finally done it, Earned the 500K channel points

[gloomy forge]

No heartbound bitpit though

[flint sinew]

i have 1M

heh

[warm trench]

Congrats! I got breakfast of champions earlier with points because I already bought the demo.

[indigo wadi]

now you can buy heartboun....awww

[gloomy forge]

mod flexing on a sub

[slim raptor]

I orignally was trying to get that but since it was removed i was still dedicated to earning it

[warm trench]

Mod is a sub too 🙂

[gloomy forge]

Now thats dedication

[slim raptor]

[junior torrent]

I'll figure out the answer to this because I'm curious as well

[indigo wadi]

okay but like

[flint sinew]

i mean i have been here for quite a while

[slim raptor]

I had a 180 watch streak but the short stream this last weekend cost me haha

It wouldve been 200+ but i missed his stream last year before San Diego twitch con

[indigo wadi]

that's my biggest worry. Luckily I'm always awake at 3 am to make sure i turn stream on OR at least have his channel up when he goes live

[warm trench]

I'm slowly getting my pts back - don't want to 7,777 them incase. Also glad I had enough pts when the curse quest changed to 50,000

[indigo wadi]

Can you skip next stream? Ty

[warm trench]

haha - I've altered the way I live... I can't now

[indigo wadi]

Mental Note: Cut power

[warm trench]

I was lucky, I was in 4 minutes when the great streak reset occurred due to the blackout where Pirate lives. Most of Washington went dark.

[indigo wadi]

this edit is going to be horrendous

[forest glacier]

I have 1.2 mil get rekt KappaInfinite

[flint sinew]

[forest glacier]

I have no life I watch whole stream

[indigo wadi]

I did it

[blissful imp]

Thorio riding Thoroshi

[indigo wadi]

exactly

[trim crater]

I just saw MeatCanyons cartoon bts, a bit of it, it's gonna be about Thor.

[elder scaffold]

hmm

MeatCanyon is very satirical tho

[indigo wadi]

i'm sure it'll be fine

MeatCanyon is more parody anyways

[blissful imp]

it'll be interesting to see how he looks under that style.

Also i'd imagine it'll be about the intiative and not the extra bullshit

[elder scaffold]

what a horror

[hasty grail]

didnt he have one with MoistCritical and Sneaky?

[trim crater]

It's 50/50, cursed and funny, but there's the previous work place bit and not being able to apologize part about said curse ..received.

[blissful imp]

https://youtu.be/LLJsSiB2dpU

[forest glacier]

While I understand this side of the argument fully, I feel like this is bypassed when your practically trying to shut down animal rescues because you don’t have enough situational awareness to realize this maybe isn’t the best idea.

[elder scaffold]

Yeah that sucks

Idk how you can hate rescues

[hasty grail]

the rescue saves henchmen from crap villains

no wait

hmmmm

i cant think of one even on the VERY stupid ideas

[forest glacier]

I know I never followed him and this definitely killed any chance. But I know I said a while back that life can’t keep existing like this, deception will be revealed, those who orchestrate harm on people will be held accountable, these things HAVE to happen. I legitimately don’t see human life existing for very long if not.

Inb4 “its always been this way, we’re fine” that is one of the biggest problems with the world IMO

[indigo wadi]

imagine equating parody to "shutting down animal rescue"

[forest glacier]

Imagine being confrontational with someone over your entire time in a discord server, obsessive

Some people just want to fight to fight, it’s insane

[flint sinew]

chill

[indigo wadi]

I haven't been? Get over yourself.

[trim crater]

Im just giving a heads up guys, no need to go into the drama.

[indigo wadi]

Anyways

[flint sinew]

simply wait for the video, speculation wont help anything

[forest glacier]

I’m sorry they’ve attacked everything I’ve said since they joined the server and not everyone I block deserves it so I check. But I’m stressed over it.

[indigo wadi]

There's a massive difference between pushing a false narrative and parody. Meatcanyon has always landed on the latter and equating that to something it's not is just wild.

[trim crater]

I dont want to spoil it, theres nothing about the rescue in the half made cartoon.

[flint sinew]

being stressed over something like this wont help anything. it's fine to be concerned but overthinking it wont do much

[indigo wadi]

No, i have a difference of opinion from you. If you think that's attacking, then I really do not know what else to say.

[flint sinew]

pick your batteles

find other things to discuss now

[idle hill]

y'all got me watching meatcanyon

[flint sinew]

sounds like the internet

[indigo wadi]

Final Point: Literally block me and never read anythign I say if you're that bothered by me.

[flint sinew]

chazore you dont need to have a point for everything

[winged knoll]

Gib

[flint sinew]

nope

[indigo wadi]

I know, but I'm sick and tired of someone claiming I'm always attacking them when I'm not.

[indigo wadi]

I literally did. That's clearly not enough and they want to act the way that they are. I just blocked em and will ignore them going forward.

[indigo wadi]

now back to honseracing

[idle hill]

😦 This was a mistake

lol. i did have someone pronounce Charon as Karen

no, my cat is not a boy named Karen....

[vivid maple]

how is the latest vid from him

[idle hill]

🙁

[vivid maple]

thats what i figured

his videos usually are just cringe art and the wierdest shit ever

sometimes it just bothers me to watch his videos

[flint sinew]

i mean the art style should give away that the contents arent gonna be for everyone

[vivid maple]

yeah i know

[flint sinew]

it's gonna feel weird from the jump

[vivid maple]

watched one of the videos and it gave me an unsettling feeling

[flint sinew]

legit happens

[vivid maple]

yeah its understandable that it happens

[lapis tartan]

That's kinda the idea, but yeah. If it's not for you, then no worries. Not everyone loves horror movies, or even comedies.

[junior torrent]

I'm sorry what.

Wait wait wait... an entire US state went dark?

When and how???

[flint sinew]

which one?

[junior torrent]

Washington.

[flint sinew]

ah

[warm trench]

A good chunk back then

There was a large storm

[junior torrent]

...a storm? Really? Huh. What year was it? I'm low key interested for... writer reason

[flint sinew]

got a link by any chance?

[vivid maple]

what the heck is this about a power outage

[flint sinew]

i mean it is very hot outdoors

[warm trench]

Not current - this was when Thor lost power along with a good chunk - early spring

[vivid maple]

oh ok

[junior torrent]

Early spring of what year?

[indigo wadi]

that's kind of the point. It's meant to be unsettling in a parody way

[warm trench]

Honestly, you can look that up as well as I, for I will have to look it up too. I was online when it happened, but I do not have all the specific dates.

[oblique palm]

This is what would happen if people that argued online were put in a room together

[muted robin]

https://www.tumblr.com/ampervadasz/738046960286695424 same vibes

[vivid maple]

you guys remember julian brown the guy who made fuel out of plastics

he went missing 2 weeks ago and his last video shows him being scared of something that was following him

[idle hill]

you mean this guy

[gray fable]

(based on etrian odyssey) what does the thor formula accomplish?

[idle hill]

His last video was a month ago... and he went missing 2 weeks ago??
Big Gas really dont want their market threatened huh

[vivid maple]

yup that guy

he also had a tiktok

[indigo wadi]

https://www.newsweek.com/julian-brown-inventor-instagram-plastoline-fuel-2105394 apparently safe according to mom

[idle hill]

his last community post... man.

[gloomy forge]

read up about it a long time ago, seems to be very low quality fuel. Probably alright to get a diesel running (presumably) but not much else. Its a fantastic proof of concept though.

not so long time ago, like 18 months or so.

[distant rapids]

I mean, its not even the fuel part that is fantastic. It's a way to break down plastics with a pricetag it can generate. That's monumental, even if it IS a mediocre fuel, it's still power

[vivid maple]

thats what mainstream media wants you to think

[gloomy forge]

I didn't knew the guy went missing, dunno if the industry is even interested in this. I mean theres also regulation considering the process probably causes high emitions. but its a great way to recycle things and turn them into something useful.

[vivid maple]

yeah plastics are made with petroleum anyways

[gloomy forge]

Yeah of course, theres many uses of this type of recycling.

[flat moat]

Just now wondering if the process to make plastic gasoline itself is not safe and has gotten Julian sick as a result

[vivid maple]

well he did mention in one of his stories on instagram that he had a helicopter fly around his property where hes prodcing the plastic gasoline. and flight records didnt see one in his area at the time he posted the story. and its illegal to turn off your transponder in an aircraft

[gloomy forge]

I don't think you have to stand close when the conversion process is going on. I feel a N95 mask while being outside would've been sufficient.

[vivid maple]

the device he was using used microwaves

[gloomy forge]

Theres not much incentive for big companies to care about this because the process has been known but it was never applied, also that story sounds like paranoia to me. I'm hoping hes save though.

Sustainable energy, especially cheap and mass produced one like this stuff is usually highly encouraged by big companies. Theres lots of profit. If big companies don't buy ideas than its usually because they're flawed.

Its great that Brown is doing that stuff though, needs more researching trying to find interrim solutions but also incentivising people from 2nd and 3rd world countries to gather materials to make them into oil/fuel.

I just checked on the dude, hes safe but family protects him.

according to the news.

[indigo wadi]

Just cause it's illegal doesn't mean a person won't do it 😉

Honestly, sounds like paranoia and he ran off, keeping his mother abreast of his location/safety.

[gloomy forge]

I also say this, its a cool piece of engineering, very simple. Kinda like the drinkable water MIT creation that only uses organic conversion methods that could make drinkable water out of what would otherwise be ooze that could kill you should you smell it.

Hes also very young, its brilliant he cares about sustainability a lot. More people should care about the topic.

the big question here is how you could make meh oil into high quality oil for production. its not really for running a car.

solar energy is probably the only future for cars. build them on the roof of the house, and use the stored energy to fuel your car.

[thick ledge]

I drink da ooze

[flat moat]

Thrice-cooked dinosaur ooze

[subtle gate]

😋 Brontosaurus leg sounds delicious

[flat moat]

Technically, since most oil is also made from decomposed plant material, it's technically a prehistoric sunday roast turned soup

[distant rapids]

Mmmm. Dinosaur soup

[wicked schooner]

Thats just chicken soup

[subtle gate]

but bigger

no idea what people were thinking with this

[toxic rampart]

Similar collagen proteins, hollowing of bones and feather like development over time, genome sequencing showing dormant genes that can cause tooth like growth.
Etc etc etc etc

[blissful imp]

tiny arms tho.

[subtle gate]

all torso and leg

[untold seal]

Isn't turning plastic to gasoline old tech?

[idle hill]

old tech or not I prefer the plastic to be burned up than to float in the oceans and strangle the wildlife
That way we all suffer equally

[opaque raven]

Before I die I will eat all the plastic and take it with me to the afterlife

I will do this for all of you

[distant rapids]

The hero we don't deserve
