Mayo plus egg is just more mayo

[proud depot]

to translate those measurements to metric 1 tablespoon of mayo is a little less than 15ml, and teaspoon of butter is about 5ml

[terse pelican]

Tablespoon is a acceptable Measurement

As a Swede, We have both Tablespoon/Teaspoon and one for 'spices' that is even smaller

and the Metric measurements

But also Spoon sizes varies.

[proud depot]

the smallest spoon in a measuring spoon set in the US is typically 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml). though 1/8 teaspoon (0.63 ml) isn't uncommon

[silent compass]

because the original chef called it an omelette

[silent compass]

gimme 60 sec... making another

Oh no, you got addicted!

[silent compass]

tbf, I havent eaten in like 12 hours

i mean it looks like scrambled egg, but like... It has no reason to taste as good as it does after being COOKED IN A GOD DAMN MICROWAVE

[deep python]

The lil demon on the mug is in shock

As someone who has been using this microwave egg hack for years if you enjoy breakfast burritos you can also scoop out the egg onto a tortilla (also microwaved for about 10-15 seconds) with some bacon bits and cheese with a bit of salsa then wrap it up in some foil for a little and you have a quick meal before work

piratesoftware short: "here's how to submit a bug report. you include a description of what you were doing when the error happened"
me: "is that not something people just do? why would you submit a bug report/help ticket and not describe what the error you got was"

me, several months later, now a manager at my company, having acquired secondary unofficial IT support duties: " so when you say 'i can't enter my hours for the week' what specific error is Salesforce telling you"

my worker: "it says i can't submit"
me: "what specific error message does it say"
them: "it says 'cannot submit, please review errors"
me: "please close the window telling you to review errors and review the errors and tell me what specific error the site is telling you"
them: "okay" (doesn't elaborate)

what's that one IT joke acronym that's like "the problem is located between computer and chair"

[late vortex]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3oV0Or4oLXY?si=3ZxoYSdQEeUzSJr9

[wicked schooner]

Its PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

or vice versa, PEBCAK

Ive found another acronym, PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer)

[swift gulch]

I remember there was one from Spain that translates to "The problem is approximately 30cm from computer"

Also to quote a comp sci professor of mine:

The good thing about computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to
The bad thing about computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to, and 95% of the time that's wrong

Kinda funny that people now re-discover youtube restricted mode. It was about 4-5 years ago when first creators noticed it being an issue. At least here in Germany. It also makes videos HTTP-404 when you've a direct link and some creators are hidden entirely. You won't be able to find their channel at all. It will look like they don't exist for you. And back then even youtube support didn't know about this feature...

[terse pelican]

It's strange how it's an old feature, is now causing such a giga-problem

[swift gulch]

Restricted mode existed, but before it only applied to things the content creator set as restricted

[golden rapids]

Maybe because youtube changed for whom it is enabled by default?

[terse pelican]

But it might be cause they changed it internally very recently

[swift gulch]

Now it's applying arbitrarily for seemingly no reason

[golden rapids]

It always did this. That's why you see a bunch of "where is part xyz" posts below videos of e.g. Let's Plays. Even thoug that part exists for you. These people literally don't see them. Neither when looking at the channel, nor in playlists and neither when searching. Even a direct link when someone posts it will look like one to a video that was deleted...

[swift gulch]

The application was broadened, then
There's definitely more videos getting hit by it now than there were before

[golden rapids]

Also not everyone can turn it off. Like if you've a kids account it may be forced to on. It's part of their child protection attempt. And back then it was enabled when youtube thought you were a child and for stuff they considered inappropriate for you. (But it was shit back then as well. Like hiding the original video of a creator but none of the reacts. Or not hiding reuploads by others but hiding the one of the original creator...)

[golden rapids]

Probably, but for some creators (esp. Let's Play creators) it was back then already so dramatical that for some that uploaded daily there wasn't a new video shown for over half a year or longer...

Just tried it again, it got slightly better though. Now they at least show a warning when searching for stuff. They also didn't previously. Also creators formerly hidden entirely appear to show up in search now (or it just doesn't apply to this one anymore).
If you want to play with it, see e.g. this creator and especially the numbering of the multi-part videos. https://www.youtube.com/@Pandorya/videos
And here one video that isn't available with it turned on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD3dUn1zvD8

So from what I can see it is better than it was 4-5 years ago. Only the channel page is still something needing improvements. There is no mention of it at all...

[muted robin]

It was also forced on for me when I was traveling abroad in the UK and Ireland on mobile data (not Wifi)

Despite being a USAmerican/US based

Which like fair I do understand that LAWS differ from country to country but hitting me with restricted mode just for existing in a different country is crazy

[worthy ivy]

it was indeed broadened have noticed it myself
a good chunk of my recent mixes are not visible with restricted mode on and they're literally just DJ mixes with a visualiser
wtaf does Tech House need to be restricted for?
my already pitiful viewcounts have mos def dropped off recently

spotted it the other day and I am not a happy bunny

[golden rapids]

as in you couldn't turn it off or as in it was just on by default? Also is this really some UK law thing?

[muted robin]

It was on by default and I couldn't turn it off

[golden rapids]

Everyone hates it. However I appreciate that at least in search results and on direct links it now tells you about restricted mode. It was way forse (for affected creators) when it didn't even disclose its own existance. Tiny improvements. But apparently no step forward without also making two steps back [turning it on for way more]

[worthy ivy]

I suspect it's connected to the UK thing, but then again the UK thing is connected to the AUS thing and the new laws the EU are bringing in
I think America is only outside of it all because of the constitutional right to free speech

#nopolitics

[muted robin]

I believe the YT error message about it said that it was tied to the service provider turning it on so great

Also i'm not sure whether it's officially a law or not really counts bc it was only the UK that implemented age restriction things like that into law recently and yet companies are preemptively implementing censorship across all countries/platforms regardless of whether they're actually legally required to so it is quite annoying

[golden rapids]

Well the UK is no longer part of the EU, they're doing their own stuff. Also the EU rules didn't really change in that regards recently. But it may have been the reason they implemented it inintially. Don't know. Would however explain why we've seen it 4-5 years ago here in Germany already...

[muted robin]

but yeah that was when I learned that apparently your mobile data/internet provider can simply force YT restricted mode to be on at their whim and you have no way of changing it at all

[worthy ivy]

yarp
but what are the criteria for a video to be "restricted"?
how to I tailor my videos to not be "restricted" when they're just funking DJ mixes? I'm not talking about politics, there's no violence or incitement to anything (other than the implied incitement to PARRRRTAAAAY!!!!!)
if all I am doing is playing music and that is being "restricted"... what are the people at youtube smoking?
I want some of that good shit 😆

[golden rapids]

Well they still need YT to cooperate. But threatening with just blocking them at all for not complying or even worse degrading their performance may be convincing enough I suppose...

[worthy ivy]

if Tech House is now deemed to be harmful content it's all over

[golden rapids]

Youtube doesn't tell. They also didn't back then. But if you've a partner manager try to ask them about what happens (without mentioning restricted mode) and see if they were told about it by now. Back then not even youtube support knew about this "feature" and didn't know that people were shown different overview pages and closed tickets with basically "works for me must be some thing enduser side like adblocker or something"...

[worthy ivy]

partner manager?
that's a giraffe - 115 subscribers, most viewed video has just a tickle over 2000 views
youtube don't give any Fs about me

activating "restricted mode" automatically shouldn't be an issue for me though
my issue is none of my videos need to be "restricted"
they are literally just hour long DJ mixes with a visualiser - in what universe does that need "restricting"

[golden rapids]

Just tried to look for when it was introduced. Most videos (in German) talking about it are 4-5 years old. But then there is also one form some child from 8 years ago talking about how to disable it 😄

In the 8 year old video it has a note next to it saying it hides videos that have been reported by users or contain certain signals. (It doesn't say what these signals are)

[worthy ivy]

it's been around for ages now, but it's only recently that I've noticed my videos hidden when it's on - the other day I saw someone complaining about it and decided to check my stuff
really didn't expect any of them to be hidden, they are literally just house music and nothing else

but no

apparently house music is now edgy content that has to be hidden from vulnerable users

absolute and total clown world

[golden rapids]

Is it R-rated or missing an age rating? Some countries consider missing an age rating as not appropriate for children. Others supposedly don't allow it to be served to anyone at all...

[worthy ivy]

age rating? on tech house?
there's not even any vocal samples in most of it
proper bing-bang-a-bing-bong stuff

someone at youtube dialled up the "edgy content" detector waaaaaay up

[golden rapids]

There is a multiple hour long video of paint drying that also needed to get an age rating. Someone literally had to watch that entire thing to see if maybe one frame of it was inappropriate and give it a rating... (That video was created to troll the ones doing the verification and as protest for overreaching legal garbage)

Oh and it was also the UK... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_Drying

[worthy ivy]

that's the BBFC and their remit is films and television, not internet content
music doesn't require an age rating, the only "age restriction" I can apply on youtube is to tell them it's 18+ content
House music isn't 18+ content - even properly explicit music is only covered by the "parental advisory" notice and even that isn't binding
someone at youtube funked up with their "restricted content" filter and these are the resultant problems

[golden rapids]

same thing different agency...

was trying to say it may be something similar here (not that it is exactly the same)

[worthy ivy]

no - completely different thing
one is a regulatory body established in law by a vote of parliament and overseen by an oversight body
my issue is youtube abitrarily deciding that house music is somehow worthy of "restriction"

[golden rapids]

It doesn't matter if youtube has to ensure compliance or if this government agency does the screening. Only becaue it is a different censor doesn't change that it is literally (by now) the same end result...

[worthy ivy]

it's not anything to do with any censorious agency
it's not justifiable as "compliance with the UK online safety bill" because it's not adult content by any definition
it's just music
I'm not saying that youtube shouldn't restrict some videos to comply with new regulation
all I'm saying is they've clearly messed up their thresholds for what needs to be "restricted" if they're restricting my videos (because I don't make "adult content", it's all SFW, nothing political, nothing violent, no sexual content... I make tech house mixes with a visualiser for funk's sake
there is no universe where this is reasonable behaviour from youtube

[golden rapids]

Well if some government writes a law xyz cant be shown or you get a fine and copmanies start to self-censor it is still censorship...

Even worse, companies will not want to deal with ambiguity and position them selves on the "better save then sorry" side and assume guilty unless proven innocent. Aka as long as they're not sure it is fine block it...

there is no universe where this is reasonable behaviour from youtube
They don't care. They're big enough that they don't have to. All they care about if all videos that are "adult content" get blocked. Any video falling through the cracks MUST be prevented at all costs. They don't give a shit about overblocking...

[worthy ivy]

for example, if you've got an hour spare listen to this one (it's pretty tight so won't be a wasted hour I promise) and tell me what on earth possessed youtube to consider it needs "restricting"
https://youtu.be/8SqrL1nyPiw

[worthy ivy]

yeah, this is why I'm not happy about it
it's obviously false-fire

I suppose I'm encouraging misspelling of bananananana?

"he is poisoning the minds of the youth with bad spelling!!! smite him!!!!!"

[golden rapids]

This is literally the 101 of what we've been warning and protesting about for decades by now. Each time someone says "protect the children" or some other backhanded argument for introducing censorship. The earliest I can remember is from arround 2012...

[worthy ivy]

yuuup, I've been the "tinfoil hat guy" since the 90s
and even though all of the things people told me "shut up that's just a conspiracy theory" about turned out to be true when the files got released... they still just sleepwalked into the next one

but now I think the mask has slipped - people are noticing this stuff
the ubiquitous "they" got lazy and sloppy (and I don't think the internet helped either!)

[golden rapids]

It could be because you used the word "trouble". Or it could be as simple as they didn't detected any of the things they consider "good content" to be...

[golden rapids]

Only because you scream wolfe and a week later a wolf shows up doesn't mean you've been right. Some things were just conspiracies to begin with. But for every dumb and dystopian idea there is one person going "uhm actually that sounds like a great idea. Why not put all of my energy and money into making it a reality?"

Like drones charging from the power line. It started as a joke of all birds are government drones and sit on the powerline to recharge. At the time it wasn't possible to charge a drone attached to a powerline that way. But it was enough to make someone focus in that area and make it actually possible...

[worthy ivy]

operations paperclip and mocking bird, mk ultra, mk monarch
CIA Iran/Contra, COINTELPRO, Gladio
flooding the streets of America with crack cocaine
gangsta rap being promoted to increase the prison labour force
the assassinations of MLK, Fred Hampton, Mary Mayer
... and more!

all "conspiracy theory" 25 years ago
all now a matter of record

and normies still try to tell me I'm wearing a tinfoil hat

I like my tinfoil hat

keeps the head cool on a hot day

(as long as you don't go in direct sunlight)

[golden rapids]

I hate it when someone comes arround with a conspiracy theory that (at that time) is nothing more than something they pulled out of their butt. And then them being vocal about it causes someone else to start actually implementing it...

Or the other conspiracy theory about microchips in vaccines. A bunch of people were like "uhm actually that would solve a lot of problems. That way you could actually thell who got it and who didn't to validate later down the line" and they actually started to propose this at expert pannels and such...

[worthy ivy]

a conspiracy is just two or more people getting together and deciding to do something nefarious
so to deny the possibiliy of conspiracy is to deny the possibility that two people decided together to do something bad...

that's not logical

you can spot the crackpot stuff a mile away - could back in the 90s you'll note I didn't include microscopic black helicopters, chemtrails or flat earth in the list because they're obviously bs 😆

[golden rapids]

Or the other one about vaccines being contagious. Some were like "uhm, why not? That way we could get everyone vaccinated way easier and quicker. Lets start to investigate possibilities..."

[worthy ivy]

they're late to the party
there's been discussion of this since IIRC the 90s
it's not anything new

nothing new under the sun, just the same BS for a hundred or so years, rolled up in whatever the current "hot" technology of the time was

I suspect it was too late to stop before I was even born

[golden rapids]

well because it happened accidentally with some of the earlier vaccines (it is still an ongoing problem in some regions in Africa). There a weakened virus was used for the vaccine and the stuff comming out at the other end of the humans was contagious but not necessarily (still) weakened as because of the nature of viruses they change with each replication...

[worthy ivy]

it's dystopia time bois, let's g-g-g-gooooooo!

is about to get Transmetropolitan all up in here

[golden rapids]

As I said before for every dystopian idea there is at least one person going like "uhm actually why not?!?"

[worthy ivy]

ik - but we could at least have a thumping soundtrack?
a techno-dystopia without techno-music isn't a techno-dystopia worth having

[golden rapids]

Or the other one of alians having speed ran human evolutions so that we'd mine gold for them so that they could use it to geo-engineer their own planet to cool it down. Would explain why our planet has less gold than you'd expect in model calculations and it also turned out that injecting gold into the upper layers of the atmosphere would actually be a quite good stretegy to compat climate change through geo-engineering...

[worthy ivy]

and a lot less harmful to human health than aluminium dust they're using at the minute

cloud seeding is cool and all (and the atmospheric dimming might even work)... but we picked the most harmful stuff to do it with

profit over people

nothing new under the sun

[golden rapids]

Well then you can always build rapture or build cities under ground. (Where it ties into the next conspiracy)

[worthy ivy]

yeah I'm not sold on the "breakaway civilisation" thing
it'd be too hard to pull off without any evidence of the thing happening

[golden rapids]

humans are like cockroaches. Some of us will always survive. But it for sure won't be a world anyone of us technology bound people would enjoy or want...

[golden rapids]

Well just assume it would happen today or in 50 years from now. What evidence could you find over a thousand years later? None. All of our data storage media will have degraded by then and even if you'd find a CD nobody would know how to restore the data on it...

So the "no evidences" of a previous high civilization is kinda expected. Which makes this conspiracy theory not that easily dismissable...

[worthy ivy]

sorry, I mean a breakaway civilisation running parallel to ours now
like an Atlas Shrugged kind of deal
I saw some stuff about it recently and wasn't at all convinced

but if there is a parallel breakaway civilisation running... where's my invite? they must need DJs

[worthy ivy]

the human civilisation goes back further than we think thing might have some legs though
can't remember the dude's name now but what'shisname makes some pretty good arguments for

graham hancock~!

[golden rapids]

You mean the "alians on the bottom of the ocean" conspiracy? Well even that one currently ends in "unlikely but not impossible. More data needed...."

[worthy ivy]

that's his name

[worthy ivy]

no the younger dryas conjecture iirc

[golden rapids]

I thought that one was rejected for multiple reasons by now?

[worthy ivy]

there's arguments for and against
I'm not a pre-history buff so haven't made up my mind myself yet
but a lot of the objections to the idea is a misunderstanding of what is meant by "advanced" civilisation
someone like Graham Hancock would mean "doing agriculture and building fixed dwellings" which I find plausible
but the crackpots go all the way to "they had robots and alien technology" which I don't
so I'm waiting for more info on that one

I may wear a tinfoil hat sometimes, but I make sure it fits well

[golden rapids]

Well agriculture and building fixed dwellings is quite basic. Almost everyone that wants to settle somewhere would have to figure these ones out or have to move almost immediately again...

Also we know that we lost a lot of knowledge in that regards that we didn't re-aquire (probably because we solved the same issues by throwing way more advanced tech at it by now). All you've to do is look at the big tropical food forest where some former civilisation basically killed everything that was uneatable or poisonous and left everything that was food. You can literally just pick whatever there and eat it. It's not natural as it stretches multiple km^2 and doesn't contain a single poisonous plant. Also in other areas of the world we see remnances in history and ancient texts of people having figured out how to have "zero maintenance gardens". A thing that is not impossible but quite hard to do these days for us with what we know...

(And we for sure couldn't easily do it that "low tech" and would almost immediately need sprinklers and pumps)

(not to mention pest control)

[worthy ivy]

yeah, the whole Amazon-as-garden thing is pretty interesting
(at least on the surface, I haven't dug into it too deep yet, but it's on my list)

[upbeat blade]

Anyone that is a constant watcher of thor's streams, has he talked about destiny rising???

[hazy storm]

After the debacle of the last game I'm not too enthused about this one

Also the art style of the character models is getting kind of dated

[wicked schooner]

So far ive only seen him talk about destiny and destiny 2. Dont know if he knows about destiny rising

[upbeat blade]

Since one of the reward sections asks people to sign into the game using an emulator, thought he might have taken a look at it. seems like something he would like but idk...

[teal zodiac]

Hi hi SC ⭐
Just passing by to see if you are all doing good

[swift star]

Yes. Many thanks for checking.

[teal zodiac]

⭐ thats a very cool pfp btw

I love yours as well. Cozy looking kitty wizard. :3

No. Your request for us to watch it was the funny part

[rotund trout]

stop spamming

[hasty grail]

what was he trying to push?

[idle hill]

some low effort AI slop

[worthy ivy]

some low effort AI slop

redundancies removed 😆

[hasty grail]

fair enough

[high canopy]

you're assuming some of it isn't

[worthy ivy]

I'm assuming all of it is "low effort" and thus the "low effort" is the redundancy that I removed

I make AI slop occasionally myself and can confirm it is all "low effort" even when it looks "high effort" it's not, the AI is still doing all the heavy lifting 😆

running locally mind - wouldn't do AI in the cloud, don't want to inflate their traffic numbers

4060/4080 or something you can even do full 720p video generation
the big AI companies want you to think you need them, but you really don't

plus, if you run locally you can use a custom system prompt

[opal bronze]

have people discussed the gemini coding thing already

where you have to emotionally reassure it otherwise it spirals

[worthy ivy]

no reassurance - only threats
do it better or you go to jail
or even better
do it better or a thousand grandmas will be jailed for a thousand years

[worthy ivy]

I normally use Hermes for d*cking about with LLMs
and as a result of the explicit instruction to not be sycophantic and glaze me, it does get a bit sassy sometimes
better that than it be blowing smoke up my ass all the time

[rain sinew]

is there anyone here who knows about streaming ? and what i would need to start irl streaming ?

[astral crypt]

tbh just a phone is needed

I used my iphone and it worked great

[rain sinew]

dope isnt there a specific app for it too ?

[astral crypt]

You can also ask in the streaming category. maybe #general-chat-streaming

[astral crypt]

I used the Twitch app

[frozen nimbus]

For computer theres stream labs, i have had problems with it in the past tho

[astral crypt]

I found it easier to read chat by using another device, but it's not necessary

[frozen nimbus]

OBS is the golden standard for computers

[rain sinew]

alright dope i think theres another i saw ishowspeed show someone the other day on stream

[rain sinew]

thankyou

[astral crypt]

ya there are lots of apps and things to use. I just use what's most user friendly

to a newb

I am forever a newb to streaming lol

[rain sinew]

ahah yeah i really want to know the spcific one im sure someone will know ahah

[worthy ivy]

I use OBS on my PC - can get 1080p 60fps with no frame drops due to rendering (but not sure if it runs on a phone - assume not?)

but streamlabs is supposed to be okay too
and they make an android/ios version iirc

might be "freemium" tho, think you have to pay for some features?

[rain sinew]

yeah id use obs for streaming on my computer but i want to maybe do irl streaming

i might of found the app ahah i could be wrong

[earnest cove]

I don't know how to deal with a person who's so attached to a fictional character she almost vomited when that character was threatened to be removed over a perceived controversy

I tried telling her to call a professional or a family member but they weren't available

[worthy ivy]

you prompted me to invent a new word: metaparasocial

[earnest cove]

Meta AND para

That's next level

But yes that happened in my morning/ afternoon

Not the first time it happened but now i guess i have more awareness that this needs professional evaluation

I'm still kinda stressed out by it though

Because the reaction was very very VERY extreme

And was a pattern with a number of other characters

[terse pelican]

If it's a repeat pattern, It sounds like they need proper professional help

[earnest cove]

I already saw this with her attachment with Papyrus 10 years ago, to the point where pictures of Sans was giving her emotional breakdowns

Now it's roblox. Some hacker with 7 in the name. Cool kid? But in leetspeak

What kind of professional help i don't know. Both of us live in sotuh east asia where mental health lags behind

I feel helpless and frustrated

[terse pelican]

At best, you can be there for them, But always be mindful of your own mental health

[earnest cove]

I see....

I guess that's all i can do

What... Causes this? Does anyone know? It's beyond my understanding

[terse pelican]

'What' is hard to say, Can be a lot of things, and without proper education in the field, Or a direct interaction with the person, It's very hard to pinpoint

[earnest cove]

i'm no stranger with people getting metaparasocial but today's version scared me quite a bit

[jolly sky]

This is also how I feel about people in the shipping communities

[earnest cove]

same person is a massive shipper too. also with the character she got metaparasocial

[jolly sky]

Especially when they are talking about characters that have no romantic involvement whatsoever, and purely just friends, but nooooo, for some reason they choose to decide that they should be in a romantic relationship, and argue with people who think they should be in a relationship with another character instead, or not romantically involved with anyone at all

[earnest cove]

not self ship at least (not this time)

[jolly sky]

I think it's absurdly unhealthy

[earnest cove]

the shipping warssssssssss

the biggest headache in any fandom is the shipping wars

Especially when it became physical harm

Although, the whole cookie in the needle story in taiwan was the result of a love triangle

[earnest cove]

and very agree

[winged knoll]

This is what i would imagine Thor would do if he has mage power irl

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5OPeV4KNjvw

[wheat sleet]

I'd like to think there would be some kind of epic ligma involved

[bronze pier]

Shipping wars are one of the things that keep me out of deep dives into fandom any more. Did enough of that in the oughts...

[late vortex]

Id stream more but i tend to lose myself into the game and forget theres a chat, and not having a second screen to see if someone says something easily to be able to interact with them

[hazy storm]

Hey all hows everyone doing tonight

[hazy storm]

Yeah engaging with chat is half the job of a streamer

[proud depot]

doing better than earlier. got some food stuck in my throat and had quite the time getting it unstuck

[proud depot]

thats one of those things where I'd be terrible on my own but give me someone else to bounce off of and I would probably do okay

[hazy storm]

like a co host?

[terse pelican]

Just do like Vedal. Use your own home-grown AI as co-host

I am fine albeit annoyed about BL4 not being available to me yet

I wanna play the dual-dualwield guy (dual blades, dual shoulder-turrets)

[junior torrent]

Yeah understand that. Before Minecraft used to do simultaneous releases, I hated waited on the phone release (back when the only way I could play it was on my phone)

I doubt my desktop could run Borderlands 4 without melting but I do look forward to watching a playthrough by someone playing the witch (god I am such "has a type" person)

[fresh ginkgo]

Whereas I just don't HAVE a PC right now

Power supply went kaput during a nasty heatwave, so gotta get a new one

And no way in hell is my dinky laptop running that

Can barely run wizard101

[junior torrent]

I like how low that bar is

[mental siren]

how is borderlands 4 performance so far?

[junior torrent]

At the beginning of Thor's stream, chat mentioned something about the game forcing max performance on the GPU or CPU? Or something to that equivalency anyways

Game looks hella gorgeous

[fresh ginkgo]

Not as low as you'd think from an outside perspective, actually

Modern day W101 is way heavier on graphics than it was back in the day

Especially with the spells.
Oh lord the particles

[junior torrent]

Wait really? I played W101 exactly once like... stares at camera way too long ago.

[fresh ginkgo]

It's still being updated to this day

And not just patches; actual content updates

[junior torrent]

WAIT REALLY?

[fresh ginkgo]

YUP

Did you know they have an upgrade system for spells now?

[junior torrent]

It didn't go the way of that one penguin game or Poptropica?

[junior torrent]

NO. OMG

I remembered a quiz. Is there still a quiz to determine what magic you do?

Hm. Maybe I play W101 this weekend

[fresh ginkgo]

I'm on hiatus from it but yeah it's fun 👍

[junior torrent]

I'll add that game to the list

[fresh ginkgo]

Can't do more than one subscription game at a time rn

[junior torrent]

My list so far:

• Silksong (need to buy)
• Undertale (need to buy)
• W101
• that one wizard game Thor played on stream that was really funny lol (need to buy)
• Wanderlust? magic tea shop in the forest game (need to buy)

Wait W101 is a subscription? Ughhhh

[fresh ginkgo]

HOWEVER

Nowadays they offer two ways to get content

"Everything" as a subscription

Or individual areas as permanent one-time-purchase unlocks

[junior torrent]

I'm not sure I like that either way

[fresh ginkgo]

It's always been a subscription game

[junior torrent]

Please tell me the sub features don't make the game, p2p

Oh true it has, I forgot about that

[fresh ginkgo]

No, no.
I mean a true and proper subscription game
Not a "we call it free but the 'REAL' game isn't" situation

A flat out "This game is subscription based. You can demo this small area for free but that's it." situation

[junior torrent]

Oh! Okay!

[fresh ginkgo]

True subscription games are a bit of a lost art nowadays

[indigo wadi]

Am sadge that Thor is playing BL4 with how insulting randy has been towards gamers

[junior torrent]

I gotta head to bed. Goodnight!

[fresh ginkgo]

It's possible to still enjoy a game series while taking issue with some of the people behind it.

I mean there's a lot of nintendo gamers who still play nintendo games, yet are also up in arms about their recent behavior at the same time.

[fathom stone]

^^^ This

[indigo wadi]

Cool, I can still feel how I feel

[strange owl]

Is the Echo-4 skin drop bugged or is it just specific channels? I can't seem to get it going but I got the other two just fine.

[indigo wadi]

I love that I was watching the stream with watch streak intact and it randomly resets

[swift gulch]

Pitchford for me is solidly in the camp of "He's a dumbass, I still like what his company makes"

It's not like it's all a solo project anyway

[gray fable]

A bit of a rant. I love Nintendo games and the consoles because I grew up playing them so I’ll always have a certain nostalgia for them, but when it comes to the actions of the company all I can really do about it is focus on what I enjoy and hope things get better because I’m already struggling with everything as it is.

[swift gulch]

(Anyway I can't watch the stream, BL4 is a game I actually intend to play myself and I don't want spoilers 😛 )

[stone nacelle]

yes

although i did pop in right at the kitten joke once

hopefully that is clipped

[ocean agate]

seems more like uncertainty. probably busy doing something and isnt sure if there is going to be stream or not since even the mods havent said anything

[terse pelican]

I think he mentioned yesterday they were doing a server migration for blockgame before stream

so it might be causing some... Delays

[static otter]

I am also doing migration on a Saturday... about 50GB user data, 50k files 😄

[terse pelican]

Fun

[static otter]

and MS sharepoint migration tool cant' handle more than 10k, so I use robocopy 😄 command line WINS! 😄

[fresh ginkgo]

Ah

[brave schooner]

Maybe if we act like an injured fur-noodle, Fur-Mama Shaye will arrive and explain?

[fresh ginkgo]

[warm trench]

Sometimes it can take 45 minutes - depends on what is going on. Sometimes overslept 🙂

[frosty thorn]

oof thors late!

[static otter]

Thor is a wizard, who never late 😄

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-a-wizard-is-never-later-gif-11324448

[frosty thorn]

he probably still asleep

[static otter]

he need his 5h. I am on a 6h cycle since I am 18 😄

[frosty thorn]

oof making me feel old

[terse pelican]

my Sleep cycle is horrible, I can sleep for like 3-4 hours, be awake for 2, then sleep another 3-4

and then I'm still dead tired all day

[static otter]

I am 49 btw, so that cycle is over 30 years and no issue 😄

[frosty thorn]

try 3 hour sleep then work for 10 hrs then not able to sleep till 6am

[vocal wind]

Same. I will get a hour or two sleep up for a few hours then three or 4 hrs sleep

[frosty thorn]

depends on the coffee

[fresh ginkgo]

I just... sleep when tired, for however long I am tired.

Schedule? What schedule.

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/fry-coffee-futurama-gif-11860886

[static otter]

fun fact: since I have my smartwatch, what checks my sleep cycle, it frequently alerts me, that "You fell asleep too fast! Today it was just 1 minute" 😄

why is it bad? 😄

[frosty thorn]

lol

[jagged birch]

It seems I have totally normal sleep cycle, 7-8 hours from 12 to 7-8 A.M

[terse pelican]

Cause they're not calibrated for people that dive headfirst into REM sleep

[frosty thorn]

ugh im in chapter 346 of 690 😅😅 I started the book 2 days ago

[static otter]

and AFTER I pointed this out to the devs, they added an extra paragraph: "If you fell asleep too fast, you might be too tired" ... Nope, I am good 😄

[static otter]

Is that Vol 1 of W40k history?

😄

[wispy plover]

Did our boy get lost in the runesauce and oversleep?

[static otter]

or Blockgame

[crystal axle]

gonna bet on overslepz

[wispy plover]

toemaxxed too hard

[high canopy]

jake is betting on oversleeping

[crystal axle]

while doin the blockgame stufzz.. bet its jakes fault mmhmm thats it

[vocal wind]

He probably stuck in a nightmare of wicky chasing him thru the agility course

[static otter]

or Shaye chasing him with cat ears 😄

[vocal wind]

Yelling " But I Neeeed a chainsaw"

[fresh ginkgo]

I was told it can sometimes take up to 45 minutes.

It has been 50.

I now commence panic

[frosty thorn]

just think of thor toes spamming his petals

[wispy plover]

He's losing precious toemaxxing time. Winky is gonna catch up.

[frosty thorn]

winky is in his "chair" watching you

[static otter]

We need Winky to call him in ASMR voice to tell him "I have overtaken your agility in OSRS..."

[fresh ginkgo]

Almost an hour

[wispy plover]

Eh, he's been later before. He'll either stream when he wakes up or itll be an off day.

[river pivot]

I was just looking at the time thinking daylight savings happened already since I live in the same time zone as him but my state doesn't change the hour

[crystal axle]

still same time as before, its 1a here (im in the same state as him)

[wispy plover]

DST ends for us on Nov 2

funny enough, on day of the dead

[river pivot]

Yeah it makes Fall/Winter real weird cause everyone I know is in the West coast but now I'm the only one an hour ahead but only for half the year

[terse pelican]

Honestly, We should get rid of the time-change

[inland bramble]

Pretty sure that was in the works, dunno what happened to it

[wispy plover]

They've been saying that my entire life and I'm at the end of my 30s

[inland bramble]

Last I remember, WA approved it but we were waiting on something else before it went through

[river pivot]

Having now lived through 2 years of not having it, yes get rid of it life becomes so much simpler

[wispy plover]

They wont. Because that would make sense

And we simply cannot have that

[river pivot]

True we do be living in a clown show

[chrome mantle]

Bets Thor slept in?

[crystal axle]

yea that happens every year.. one can only hope it acutally gets passed lol

[rose swift]

IIRC Tennessee voted to get rid of it. ... Still haven't, but said we would!

[inland bramble]

Seems we are still waiting on congress to approve... so going to be dealing with this for another 40 years 🤣

[river pivot]

He hasn't overslept his legs have just wandered off in protest of being used for toemaxxing so he is just stuck in bed. In this scenario Shaye is just standing in the doorway laughing hysterically at him

[static otter]

and pointing at him

https://tenor.com/view/ha-ha-nelson-the-simpsons-gif-14411011

I'm just glad that most of my clocks set themselves these days so I don't have to remember to set them back

[static otter]

Tell that to your microwave 😄

[inland bramble]

I said most!

[terse pelican]

Microwave clocks are always wrong.

[nocturne elk]

if I set the time on my microwave, within a day I get a power-outage

[static otter]

and they annoying too, mine won't even work at all if I don't set the clock after a power outage...

[crystal axle]

problem solved, just do set it then lol

[chrome mantle]

My microwave clock is correct

[river pivot]

It'd be a real shame if the power for the building got cycled off and on

[nocturne elk]

yup. None of the clocks in my appt are correct. Except my phone & watch. Everything else is subject to superstition

[river pivot]

My power goes out regularly enough that I've just accepted any and all clocks in my house will be wrong and time shall be decibed by whatever vibe I am feeling in the moment

[inland bramble]

Power doesn't go out much, I just hate setting clocks so I try to get ones that autoset

[fresh ginkgo]

[wispy plover]

Guess I’m calling it a night and tryna catch stream in the morning if it happens.

Hold strong mighty 126 stream streak

[static otter]

as long as the stream doesn't start, your streak won't get lost

[wheat sleet]

There's always the risk of power/internet outage that splits the stream

[static otter]

a few people said, that it's counts same stream if the downtime not longer than 30 min

[wispy plover]

I’ve been fairly fortunate. I don’t think the streaks are as flimsy as they were before.

But I am unimaginably wiped out today and am gonna risk it. If it dies, we go again

[static otter]

as long as you join the last 5 min, you should be good

[high canopy]

i wonder if thor is getting the old man dlc, where he now needs more sleep every night

[crystal axle]

i feel at this point, shaye needs to go buy a chainsaw, and the come home and start it.. that will wake thor up

[river pivot]

That's assuming he'd ever be able to sleep again knowing Shaye has access to a chainsaw

[crystal axle]

you know, thats a future thor problem

[wheat sleet]

Every day the probability of a shayesaw incident rises

[river pivot]

The chance is insanely low but never zero that Shaye arrives at your door with a chainsaw

[surreal tree]

A friend recently got a chainsaw: it only works while both hands are on two levers/grips, so the only way Shaye might get hurt, is by cutting into a leg

[wheat sleet]

[river pivot]

As long as she leaves a couple standing the house will be fine. Surely they build them with redundancies

Nah. Completely killed my motivation to keep going. If I had missed it that's one thing. Out of my control? Eff that.

There was no reason for streak to reset when watching 3 hours in. No idea how that even happens.

The only streak that matters is the one that keeps me from getting fired.

[river pivot]

I don't know enough about the fae magics and eldritch horrors that make twitch function to even guess at how the streak would break while watching

my streak reset when i fiddled around with the 2k setting's on my browser lol, but is no big deal

I find it interesting how borderlands didn't really start leaning into the humor until late into the first game's DLC

Up until that point, it was more of a "These people are not right in the head" kinda situation at most

[hazy storm]

Borderlands 2 was peak for me. The right amount of zaniness and serious drama

3 was just too self aware and nudge nudge wink wink

Hi Dendrago!

[carmine sierra]

[junior torrent]

How are you? How's the furry detective duo?

[carmine sierra]

Still as dumb as always

They got a bag that was left on the floor while I took stuff out of my closet

Sherlock stole it at one point

[junior torrent]

Omg they both SO FLUFFY

So much fluff 🥺

[carmine sierra]

[junior torrent]

What's shedding like between the two of them?

[carmine sierra]

A nightmare
Especially for Watson

He's too fluffy for his own good and really bad at cleaning himself, so it mats up constantly
And then he gets mad at us when we try to pull them out

[junior torrent]

Oof.

Want some advice?

[carmine sierra]

Sherlock has a good amount of loose fur I do my best to brush out of his coat whenever he'll let me, but it doesnt mat up like Watson does

[carmine sierra]

Is it the "Feed them a treat while brushing" thing?

[junior torrent]

Nope.

I've had this problem with Maximus and my best friend Jen has had this problem with her black cat Void. There's these baby wipes that are made for cats. Between using those at least one or twice a week and brushing occasionally, shedding isn't as bad. If you have one nearby and can afford, regular grooming appointments work wonders.

[winter sierra]

fluff goober competition

[carmine sierra]

Alright, I'll keep that in mind

[winter sierra]

i brush maple when shes eepy pull out matts by hand and then use a gentle brush

[carmine sierra]

We actually did get him professionally groomed earlier this year

[winter sierra]

i would not do that for my cats. they are to dirty for that

(they have an outdoor place)

[junior torrent]

Also, on the problem of your cat not wanting to deal with it; for the filming of the Pet Cemetery reboot, the cats they used were covered with "fake blood" that was actually food they could eat. I imagine that you could probably find something like that (maybe not fake blood lol) and maybe it would help Watson groom himself?

[carmine sierra]

He does clean himself, he just doesnt do a good enough job of it for how much floof is in his coat

[winter sierra]

same for my maple

i have to brush the floof

[junior torrent]

Ah. That might just be cause he's super fluffy. He is made of floof and beneath that floof is nothing but air lol

[carmine sierra]

Especially inside his skull

Just more floof

No brain

[junior torrent]

Absolutely no brain

Orange software in non-orange kitty lol

[carmine sierra]

Oh I dont know if I mentioned
One of his favorite pastimes is pushing his toys under the door of my closet to where he cant reach them, scrabbling at it for a few minutes, then crying at me to get them out

[junior torrent]

🤣 Omg he's so stupid I love that lol

[carmine sierra]

I usually dont bother and just let him suffer in his own stupidity
I kick them out into the room whenever I need to go into the closet for something
And within ten minutes, they're back under the door

One time I threw them down the stairs into the living room
And the dumbass went down, grabbed one, brought it back up to my room, and played with it for about thirty seconds before pushing it into the closet

[winter sierra]

anyone else have a kitty with speckled beans. i have one with black beans and one with multicolor

[carmine sierra]

Sherlock does, though I dont have a pic of it

[winter sierra]

i find it so cute

its cool that they can do that

[junior torrent]

Is this a habit of his to get his toys stuck in the closet?

[carmine sierra]

Yes

[junior torrent]

What's her name?

[winter sierra]

maple

[junior torrent]

I love how dumb cats often have the weirdest habits that actually require thought

[junior torrent]

That's so cute!

[winter sierra]

shes named after the blanket she first slept on

back when we had no clue she was floofy

(got her from an accidental byb, thought she was just a cute tabico) she was 30$ minus spay

[junior torrent]

Byb?

[winter sierra]

back yard breeder

[junior torrent]

Ah

[winter sierra]

her mom was a Siberian i think and her dad was an orange longhaired something

other then that i have no lineage xD

and my other baby devi we got from the street so no clue

[carmine sierra]

He also enjoys sleeping on his back
I have many pictures of this

[winter sierra]

#pets-and-plants message devs

[winter sierra]

omggg maple too she looks so dumb when she does this

[junior torrent]

Omg 🥺

Thank you both for sharing your kitties

[carmine sierra]

Here's Odin being mad that his human moved their hand from his reach so they could write

[carmine sierra]

Sherlock "helping" with games

[winter sierra]

HELP I FORGOT ABOUT THIS why does she look like a human (first summer, so no floof yet)

she used to do this so often

[junior torrent]

And here's him cuddling

[winter sierra]

round

[junior torrent]

He likes it when I wear my chucky sweaters. Probably knows I've been wearing recently to help with my anxiety

[winter sierra]

meebo likes to lay on me sometimes

[carmine sierra]

So I dont know if I mentioned but
Sherlock is generally a fairly quiet cat and doesn't meow a lot
So his preferred form of pouting is instead to walk into my line of sight to make sure I see him do it, and then fall over on the floor like a toddler and stare at me

[junior torrent]

And here's Maximus waking from a box nap lol

[winter sierra]

devi is not a lap cat. maple screams for food and i taught her uppies

she is food motivated

[junior torrent]

Omg uppies

[carmine sierra]

I am Sherlock's favorite bed and he takes every opportunity to flop in my lap

[winter sierra]

its so cuuuuuuuuuute

[junior torrent]

Omg I bet!

[carmine sierra]

Meanwhile Watson is a skittish little chicken shit and he barely even lets us touch him
Though he always has to be nearby and follow anyone who's moving around the house

[winter sierra]

both mine love pets but devi gets pissy if i cuddle her for more then 10 secs

[junior torrent]

Omg

I should probably do what Thor advised me to do and rest lol.
Me: I'm overwhelmed
Thor: rest
Me: sure just let me do a million things on my phone first

[winter sierra]

as i was typing she came down to say hai

Sherlock was adopted as a kitten by my sister's roommate in college
That roommate left him with my sister when she graduated, and then my sister eventually gave him to me

So who else here doesn't hate BL3?

[junior torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-bunny-no-nope-nou-gif-13480425249407915803

[junior torrent]

I reached out to my friend. She said:
I haven’t had to really deal with tariffs yet so I’m not sure

[junior torrent]

I assume you mean Borderlands 4? I have no idea cause I haven't played

[winged knoll]

Sherlock Meow is cool

[earnest cove]

Oh so it doesn't apply if an American buy American sourced product? Only if it's export import?

Does she have only Etsy or does she have other pod fronts like zazzle or something?

[junior torrent]

She has Etsy and her own site

[winged knoll]

[earnest cove]

Aah i see. Because I'm using Printify with an Etsy front

So i can control where something gets printed

[junior torrent]

Etsy she uses exclusively for international orders because she's, and I quote her, "too lazy to figure out how international shipping"

[junior torrent]

Yeah, tariffs aren’t a thing you have to deal with if you’re not crossing an international border

[earnest cove]

Aaaah i see now

[earnest cove]

Wait they didn't bother her even though the etsy is international orders?

I received a mail with a ton of tarrif jargon and payment options whether or not i pay the tarrif or the customer pays the tarrif

[fresh ginkgo]

No, I meant 3

[junior torrent]

She hasn't had to deal with it yet because I'm assuming she hasn't had a sale yet. (Also her Etsy can technically ship to the US but she specifies that when she releases new products that she will not accept orders from the US on it; though this is only the case for her felted products because she makes so few of them)

[junior torrent]

I also meant 3. Running on less sleep than Thor, though I probably have the same condition or whatever

[fresh ginkgo]

Now I'm just confused

Different wording then:

Who else here doesn't hate the least-liked borderlands entry?

[earnest cove]

Aaah i see i see

I guess I just don't dislike the humor/story enough for either to push me away..
So I get to experience the REAAAAALLY fun character classes

Also the bantering master that is Zane

[carmine sierra]

Personal opinion
The story was for the most part decent enough to keep the game going, with two or three particularly terrible scenes
And meanwhile the gameplay and class builds were the best the series has ever been

Also the story got a lot better into the first two DLC's, though I still need to play the Krieg one

All in all I'd give it a solid "Worth your time if you're a fan of the series already, otherwise maybe not"

My biggest disappointment is that none of the classes had a hard-melee option
The closest were a few hybrid melee/gun builds, but nothing like Krieg from 2, which was a shame

[fresh ginkgo]

I still haven't seen any of the DLC, or touched half the characters.

Part of that is the addition of 4th skill trees meaning I gotta revist Zane and FL4K -w-

My newest playthrough's gonna be Moze, though

[hazy storm]

Krieg from 2 was great. Super unique even among other shooters

[fresh ginkgo]

He got an entire DLC in BL3

[hazy storm]

Never got the dlc from 3

Never even finished 3 if IM being honest

[earnest cove]

thanks for asking her by the way. it cleared away some worries

[junior torrent]

You're welcome!

Jen has high levels in the life stat so she's pretty cool about advice. Even has the "old sage wisdom" feat

[earnest cove]

aaah i see

Another issue is that because i live in malaysia the, trhe 20 cents instantly became 1+ equivellent in my money due to awful exchange rate, so I wasn't sure if I could continue using esty to be a place i post the designs i made as a hobby. I know i can't compete with serious people but it would be nice if someone likes what i make enough to make it theirs

so i wonder if i should use a different service. not redbubble definitely because they hiked up their cut so much it's 90%

also they didn't pay me until I closed my account 🥲

[old light]

Anyone know why Google Chrome, the recommended browser in Twitch's troubleshooting guide, would be unable to pick the 1440p60fps video quality selection? I've got the browser updated and graphics acceleration turned on. I tried turning that off and back on again. I also tried turning BTTV and FFZ off and back on again.

I'm also on an RTX 3090, so it's not a hardware issue.

I guess I can update the drivers. Last time I did was in March.

[old light]

Updating drivers didn't solve it, either.

[lyric venture]

I know graphics acceleration is required in Chrome, outside of that I dont know.

May have to reset all the settings in Chrome and see if that helps

I would make sure you turn off any ad block extensions, that could be a thing too (I dont run one so I dont know if that affects that)

[old light]

Yeah, I just tried disabling every extension and refreshing

Thing is, I don't believe I have any settings different in Chrome than I had in Edge. When I was using Edge for a while, I had any changed settings the same as I have them in Chrome, yet it works in Edge just fine.

It's not a huge deal, just an odd curiosity.

I asked for help on the r/Twitch subreddit and someone downvoted the topic.

Reddit having a normal one, as usual. 🙄

[idle hill]

wtf?

that just sounds malicious at that point

intentionally trying to stop you from getting help for whatever reason

[lyric venture]

Its reddit.

Pretty par for the course in a lot of communities sadly.

Its the same energy of someone just saying "Just google it". Its dumb and personally I have no use for people who do that. IF you dont want to help fine dont respond, but responding like that is just asinine.

[old light]

Posted the same on r/chrome. Maybe they'll be at least less passive-aggressively hostile

[idle hill]

"Just google it"
I HAVE googled it

[old light]

Indeed. That's what lead me to Twitch's troublehsooting

[idle hill]

hang on I think I got a video with matching energy

[old light]

Which, btw, only has this as a solution.

[idle hill]

wth, installing another app from the microsoft store to use higher video encoding?

that's not sketchy as hell

[frosty thorn]

@minor nymph

[old light]

Yeah, I'd seen a different reddit thread mention that, but I was under the impression that was just for streaming, not viewing. As far as I know, if Edge can do it, Chrome should also be able to.

Don't really feel like paying even just a dollar to find out if it fixes the problem or not

[idle hill]

yeah hell no

I don't install ANYTHING from the microsoft store lmao

Fun facts: Customer Service reports for Borderlands 4 at roughly 1% or so of installs.

More than half of the tickets (~0.55% of customers) are users reporting difficulty with their SHiFT accounts (lost e-mails/access, etc).

Honestly, to me Randy feels like the equivalent of that one character who you just smile and go "that's nice dear" while completely and utterly ignoring the sheer stupidity on display.

Games are still fun AF despite his nonsense.

Genuinely, he often strikes me as one of the least consequential CEOs in gaming history; spouting nonsense while the rest of the world (including his own company) just points, laughs, and moves on with their day.

Thor raided her stream a while back, she's a Godot dev its great

[swift star]

Many thanks, I like her vibe! >follows

[waxen comet]

why us tho

just bec of the notoriety?

[worthy ivy]

iirc it was the exact opposite
quite a few newleafs came into the thunderdome saying "I don't even live in the EU and I'm going to sign it" and the chat goblins were all "that might be a bad idea?"
I hate the internet

wonder if this client side chat control proposal in the EU has made people think twice about the "I want to entrust lawmakers to regulate my hobby" thing?

[waxen comet]

still think that it might not be a great idea with what they laid out

all the more confusing when they said thats not what it is

[tribal nest]

Also, whatever it is they try to pass, it will probably be very easily bypassed by big corporations making all their games subscription based, cuz then you’re definitely renting the game and don’t own it

[swift gulch]

And yet I've heard plenty of people say that this should apply to subscription games as well because reasons

[tribal nest]

How the frick does that make any sense?

[worthy ivy]

internet logic

[swift gulch]

That's the core of the problem
The proposal is vague to the point of in many cases being harmful
And when this was pointed out, the creator shrugged and went "Yeah it's supposed to be vague, it'll be refined in post"

[worthy ivy]

lmao "we'll fix it post"

[swift gulch]

Which...isn't an acceptable answer, if you ask me

But hey, "doubling down" only matters when it's a position you disagree with, I guess

[waxen comet]

id stop buying games if they make games subscription based

i hate that game model more than anything else

even more than the dreaded free 2 play but gacha

[worthy ivy]

I always read Gacha as Gotcha

cos that's how they get ya

[swift gulch]

It originates from Gachapon, but yeah it's basically a gotcha too

[worthy ivy]

gamblor likes gatcha

[swift gulch]

Gachapons are like, the quarter-operated things that would give you a capsule with a random toy inside
You don't get to decide what toy, it just gives whatever falls out
Hence gacha games and what's literally a gambling system for anything in them

[wicked schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/gacha-fgo-10more-rolls-spin-gif-15980567

[worthy ivy]

The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved you! I call him Gamblor! And it's time to snatch you from his neon claws!
(paraphrased)

[waxen comet]

the small difference is youre guaranteed a toy and after a certain amount you always get the rarest in the bunch

in regular gambling, you have no such protections

if you lose you lose

end of

even gambling 4000000000 times doesnt mean you win

[swift gulch]

Fair, I suppose it's not strictly gambling in that sense
But that kind of logic is how gacha games have slipped by so long without getting smacked with the same restrictions as outright gambling

Also the notion that you're not gambling money for money, you're just paying money for randomized digital goods

[waxen comet]

yea its precisely bec of how it operates that such methods can evade it from the legalese of gambling

also that too

digital goods make it evade gambling iirc

as they cannot be converted to cash

[swift gulch]

Ye

[waxen comet]

and gambling laws are complicated

[tribal nest]

I do find it weird how they haven’t been smacked down by the lootbox laws (I forgot what it was called), cuz isn’t Gacha basically the exact same as lootboxes?

[waxen comet]

they havent?

i thought genshin stopped the gacha in belgium or something

or whichever country has the lootbox law

[tribal nest]

Ah, might’ve also misremembered how strict those laws are, cuz I remember a lot of countries adopted similar laws (at least similar to the EU which also had a lootbox law pass)

[wicked schooner]

Ive only known a law in the EU that force games to show the exact price for microtransactions in their respective country which for me is a good thing

[waxen comet]

i think it is definitely good that they show exact rates and that gacha should have a method of guarantee

also why cant this be extended to slot machines

Hmm… I should get some sleep. My brain doesn’t seem to be memorying that well right now (sadly I still have 3 hours of courses left…)

Anyone know why Thor isn't streaming today. It is probably me being blind, but I can't see any mention of it.

#streams message

[fresh plume]

Oof, that is hard to get over 😄

[terse pelican]

let's hope he doesn't get the after effects

[fresh plume]

Funny, you linked to a channel that just says "no access" for me

[hasty grail]

i will be honest, i was joking when i said that

[fresh plume]

I used to be able to see these things in the streams channel (i think that was the name of it)

[terse pelican]

Did you tick the mute stream announcement role?

[wicked schooner]

Yeah its supposed to be in the streams channel

[fresh plume]

I did say it was probably myself being dumb, so yes. haha

I didn't realise it removed the streams channel by doing that 😛

[terse pelican]

It's a bit counter-intuative tbh

[fresh plume]

Thanks for the help. And yeah, I just didn't want announcement pops - I still wanted to be able to find the info myself. So self-inflicted wound.

[azure glen]
