oof that weather, so glad i work indoors, even if it's customer service
i'd like to see AI try to offer a kid a cookie cuz they're looking like they're having a rough day while hiding behind their mom
that movie was a mindscrew for sure o.o
kingdom hearts sale when? >:Y
Morning all

oh no, they turned thor into a cat!
How are you in stream already? Are you on desktop? 🤔
You can press the chat button to see chat even on mobile
Ohhh i have to go all the way right on the sidebar on mobile. Cewl.
community train started
Hi, my name is Thor. I've been in the games industry since 2004. I worked for Blizzard Entertainment, Amazon Games Studios, the United States Department of Energy, and now I own my own studio called Pirate Software. I'm a game developer, a hacker, and a giant nerd. Ask me stuff!
stream still has not officially started
he's probably waking up.

Huh... i have found a fascinating glitch. On mobile, the emotes glitch out on streak rewards after some time if you copy text. Edit: huh now its not working... weird.
Is he saying "beef broccoli" or "beef broth"?
Beef and broccoli, likely just Chinese takeout
We are too strong!!!
ahh, ok. Not a big fan of most asian food, so literally never heard of it before
It's a very sensible way to use cheap ingredients
Stirfries are Superior
stir fry can be anything too mainly. all the veg and meats
Stir fry is a technique that you can also use with beef and broccoli
if you want all the meats its special stir fry
I"m desperate for people to know The Truth, so im pasting this from stream chat. "Thor being a horse makes sense actually. Luscious long hair. Sleeps on feet. Sleeps for nap times, not normal human times. It ALL MAKES SENSE."
You forgot one key fact. No legs.
Game Freak's brand-new title: Set in a post-apocalyptic Japan, humanity's only hope lies with Emma, an outcast shunned from society for her affliction, and Koo, the blighted dog. Together, they embark on this expansive adventure in this one-person, one-dog action RPG.

none of the above, Thor is 5 Ferrets in a Trench Coat
I've seen his legs. They're real. Now whether he has two MORE legs hiding...
:O but then that still means he can has four legs
Four... or zero
i mean no one said they are his legs. he just has legs
writes notes on napkin can have... 0-4 legs...
i suspect he has Khrono's and Jake's legs
new conspiracy around the mods has dropped lol
can't be one, it doesn't have a leg to stand on
I have officially touched grass recently. In fact as soon as all the snow has melted I'm gonna go over the yard once with the mower and mulch the leaves that have been there since fall
like 95% of it is gone, but we had to shovel the roof once so theres some small piles left next to the house
The plan is undecided. I'm betting on more D4 or some Crimson Desert
Nevermind, he said HOMM
Dang, I thought he was talking about Everything is Crab yesterday, but that was just like one sentence
He looked at it today but just at a glance
TBH it doesn't really have much build variety in the current form
Fun, but only in short spurts
Huh. I thought I had wishlisted it, but it looks like I bought it. I may need to mute the stream and give it a go.
I did this with HOMM when I first saw Thor playing it
thought "that looks really HOMM'y too, I wonder if it's stable?"
(because all the others have crashed on the regular for me)
went to wishlist it
and instead bought it on autopilot
#selfcontrolfail
it sounds like we have similar levels of self control. there was something that got brought up yesterday that I swear I wishlisted and didn't buy, lol. The only reason I could see me buying Everything is Crab is that it's prolly currently like an 8 hour game instead of being some 40-120 hour monstrosity of a time waster like the next 4 or so games I got queue'd up, so it can skip in line
what if in palworld mmo you play as a pal monster not a trainer
The Isle, but pals
yeah
this would work
you could have the players sign contracts with NPC trainers to get access to tournament dungeons and bonuses and stuff
you can use that to gate content: higher level trainers with the better bonuses and entry to the high paying tourneys will only hire pals of a certain level
I would just eat all the other pals.

DLSS frame-gen just to hit 30 FPS
Isn't that another title thqt snuck in Denuvo days before launch?
Yes
So I wonder if those specs are before or after Denuvo
it's a lego game tho
Why tf does every game need denuvo now? 
Anti-piracy. CEOs think it boosts sales
Especially a single player game
huh, yeah, I have 8 minutes played in Everything is Crab now. That wouldn't be a great game to stream
It's fun but a bit limited for now. Needs more options, more maps, more enemies, erc
ngl id rather see lego games intentonally animated in 24FPS to make it more "Stop motion" like
to keep it in line on how they animated the movie
i also have this permanent problem known as "skill issue" doctors are looking in to it, but i think i'm shit outta luck
For the first few runs you can unga bunga most things
Pick physical or ability and just focus
I got to the first... i guess mini boss thing? i guess i needed to focus on more something, cause i got waxed
I went physical with max size first run and beat it
Went ability poison next run and got smoked
I don't think I got past level 2 on any specific skill, so that may have had something to do with it. I guess I could've rerolled.
so... try physical and size and see what happens if what i'm hearing
Jaws are probably the easiest attack to work with for physical. Horns are okay, then body slam, but skip charge because self damage
horns don't do self damage? maybe i wasn't paying attention to the red closely enough when I was clicking through. The controller is a nice touch, but R2 being the attack button is kinda awkward
I think it's antlers that are self damage
antlers, horn, same thing, right...?
No. Antlers are seasonal, horns are permanent.
Antlers are fascinating structures found in various members of the deer family, such as moose, deer, and elk. Unlike horns, which are permanent and composed of keratin, antlers are temporary and pulsate with life, even emitting warmth during growth. This annual cycle of antler shedding and regrowth is witnessed in males as they reach maturity, w...
c'mon, it's not like that can be relevant in my game about evolution
wasn't somebody in here talking about how they're on a KDE desktop Linux the other day? I ordered a heat sink for my NVMe, but I'm also considering swapping to that
o/ KDE here.
needs an option for chat to vote on the evolutions. 
i assume you recommend KDE over GNOME/xfce, etc?
oh, that could be fun
in the current state, absolutely. couple years ago i didnt like KDE.
oh, @wintry coyote , this command isn't giving me any output on Pop!_OS, could be worth a run if you have any concerns related to copy fail/dirty frag lsmod | grep -E 'rxrpc|esp4|esp6|algif_aead'
if you get no output, you should be good
Well, kinda everyone, but i suppose especially fedora since they're in that red hat line and RHEL doesn't want to be the one distro getting beat up with priv escs
yeah. fedora is the upstream distro for RHEL so it's like a testing grounds.
this is what you're on atm? https://fedoraproject.org/de/kde/download/
We're so glad you've decided to give Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop a try. We know you'll love it.
huh, i dunno. i kinda like the floating BS in the middle of my DE atm, but I would like having more DE<->script capability
being able to bind hot keys to a shell script is probably enough for me atm, who knows moving forward
with KDE tho, I could apparently have a widget that would be a constant display of my controller and phone's battery on my desktop, which would be pretty dope
the department of redundancy would love this K Desktop Environment Desktop Edition

KDE just feels pretty... complete... i dont need to do much to it. and it's familiar enough that i could easily recommend it for someone moving away from windows too.
that's fair. I just pushed a markdown file from my phone to my desktop using KDE connect on GNOME with how I could test KDE on my current OS using a test user while pushing all installs to a text file, dump all of it in to a git repo, including if I get the widget crap set up how I want it working, then have the rollback to GNOME not containing GNOME recorded to uninstall.
linux is very different, but it has some very unique niceties
like, now I want to make a git repo for the possibility of the switch so i can look at the pretty markdown on my phone
Fascinating ad position on twitch mobile
okay, my git project is ready for the concept of me testing kde
I don't have any real hope that their detection will work properly.
For example, I try to track bot accounts and for over a year now most days nearly half of the new accounts (https://t.co/Jfrl4Syznl) have their language set to Russian with little to none being suspended
maybe twitch is just really popular in Russia? 
I'm testing automated analysis of my random phone games of chess being auto analyzed with the analysis showing up in a public git repo I can access before I test moving a test user in to KDE to see if I can make a widget I like enough to push the full test to github then actually possibly change operating systems
but first i need my local LLM to function so that I get ollama's thoughts on stockfish's thoughts on my moves
Is there a lot of custom instructions or are you just passing the data set to a local LLM and have it spit out a response
A little bit of both
when it's done, I can share the git repo, it's public
just don't judge my chess games
almost done, sorry, ollama is slow
i'm deleting everything then about to play one game on my phone and set a timer for 10 minutes to make sure the whole workflow functions
I'm changing it so it occasionally includes "yo momma" jokes in the analysis and is using the prose of Christopher Hitchens with some Taoist references in it's 1-3 sentence long analysis of Stockfish's analysis.
- Sound like a dry, literate critic judging bad chess at 2 AM, somewhat like Christopher Hitchens, but do not write purple prose.
this felt personal lol
Yeah, I'm working on it still, lol
I had to get it so that ollama was using my GPU instead of my CPU, and get it to where it wasn't writing an essay, but was also not just saying "stockfish says x so do that"
How did you get it to use GPU instead of CPU?
about that, you want to have the model be small enough to fit in your GPU in one go
so you can't run something too big
cuz then it has to start using CPU
so lotsa vram
uhh... so, i had to make sure the ollama user had groups permissions, then i created an ini file that told it to use the gpu
I think there's projects to split up models into layers to fit into smaller vram but idk how those work / whether that can just be done with ollama
I ran it on windows and didn't have to do any of that, but idk if that's then just linux, something changed, or like group policy stuff
okay, i think it's perfect now, but y'all tell me what you think: "The CPU's g4 is a curious choice, as it allows White to develop the dark-squared bishop and puts pressure on Black's kingside. The knight on f6 is also somewhat exposed, but this is a small price for the opportunity to control the d5 square. In retrospect, patience would have been rewarded by waiting for White to commit to a more concrete plan."
ollama being hilariously wrong about some of the positions definitely gives it some charm
possibly just Linux? could be an nvidia vs amd thing. also, Windows graphics driver support is a lot better than Linux, although AMD is close
I need to go through all my software to see which ones don't have linux versions, or have a linux equivalent that I need to learn. Guessing the photo/video editing ones will be the biggest problem.
I use lightworks
used the free version for ages, only thing that made me upgrade was 1080p export
but if you can stand 720p most of the rest of the features are free
and if you do need the advanced stuff the license is cheap as chips
runs on linux too
https://lwks.com/
workflow is a bit like editing with real film
I'm used to using an old version of Capture One for photo software, but I stopped upgrading because it's like 200 bucks every new version with minimal to no features added. Davinci for video.
Thor was checking some finnish language and remined me of this comic
On work when ever some one says i would like to learn finnish im like really
good... good plan there
the actually pirates guild has kidnapped Evora https://www.twitch.tv/ev0ra in an attempt to prove she exists for Winky's sake (Guild Wars 2 drops)
I put a lot of time and effort into this title. As you can see. !socials !arenanet
i'm guessing this is one of Winky's friends
its his canadian girl friend
she has a level 9 hype train right now, she wants it to end so she can give out some stickers
I do not understand anything
and yes its real there's more posts https://www.rxddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/1tbkmoi/it_screams/
My steam controller just made the wilhelm scream after dropping it. Not fucking joking btw. I was on steam big picture mode. If you want to recreate it, at least do it on something soft. After it happened the first time, was like wtf so I tried it on my bed and after a few more times it did it again. I love this thing lmao
I want one now just to scare people
give it to a kid and say that the robots are coming to life
How long until someone mods it to rattle off Glados or Wheatley lines?
Theres already custom steam deck startup screens so my best guess is soon
Wheatley controller would go off the shelves so fast
Don't forget your companion cube
https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/companion-cube
Hi there!
It's been a while since I've uploaded, but I've recently released a new version of Steam Haptics Singer with the Steam Deck improvements I have made, and, as you can see, added support for the new Steam Controller!
You can look at the project and download it here: https://github.com/CrazyCritic89/SteamHapticsSinger/releases
i don't think this is the same thing as the reddit post above as the haptics are the vibration motors on the controller i think.
the Will helm scream is just straight up a Will helm scream once the controller is dropped.
it screams? i want it even more now
the goblins have been free all this time
goblins breaking the reality.
Clearly needs more duct tape
Did Thor crash?
duct tape makes you smart 
sure hope thor baps that troll in chat
Kick chat is troll-free
Yes please...
For some reason I have been staying up late to see if Thor streams or not, all so I can find out if I’ll inevitably wake up to a cursed conversation a few hours later
Also Thor be late?
Kick only today?
Maybe Thursday. Not sure if Thor wants to continue doing exclusive streams.
Thor is like a wizard from LOTR. He's never late, he arrives precisely when he means to.
The issue is most of the audience is over on Twitch, and you risk alienating those people by doing a stream on another platform.
Thor might make 20x more ad revenue per person, but that's not the only revenue stream you need to consider. TTS and subs probably make a huge portion.
Yeah, I was not expecting twitch (the offline chat) of all places get toxic over kick exclusive stream last time
It's logical. Kick dug themselves into a giant hole that they may never be able to get out of. People who have Twitch streaks, badges, subs, and watch all their other streamed content there wouldn't want to change over.
It's mainly an issue of nobody is LOSING anything with the kick streams.
It's being sequestered to a day that doesn't have streams anyway.
The people that are mad will find another reason to get mad if no kick streams anyway.
People make emotional decisions. Not just some of the time, all of the time. If Twitch users feel like they're being slighted by not having access to a stream, they will leave.
Barring being banned by Kick, they have access. Whether or not they choose to access is a personal choice; if they choose not to use kick, then they can't claim they're being denied access, they made a choice to not view.
That's factually incorrect. Whether it's a distaste for the platform by reputation, personal preference, or legitimately not being able to use it because your access point (work/school/government) blocks it, there are reasons.
If you can't access it because your government blocks gambling sites, that's not really a choice.
True
But reputation and personal choice are still personal
gov't restrictions asside
But that isn't a twitch thing.
Short term gains for ad revenue are going to end up losing viewers over the long term. Whether or not that's a net positive is yet to be seen, but it's a gamble.
If you're on a network that restricts traffic, you still have options with vpns or your phone, etc. It also still wouldn't be thor slighting someone or denying them access to the stream, it would be a restriction by a third party.
All I'm hearing is ''My Favourite streamer doesn't stream on my favourite site when I want to watch, So he clearly has to hate me now, and I'm big mad.''
That's a legitimate concern when you limit someone's choices arbitrarily.
People can be angry, but putting thor to be the bad guy because he's making a business decision to try and save the ferret rescue is on them, not thor.
The issue is a lot of people feel entitled to twitch streams
It's all entertainment
That's another thing, the rescue is growing in size but revenue and viewership is shrinking. There's a point where you have to see the numbers and stop spending more.
Then that is something that thor will deal with. He's already said that the ferret rescue is his top priority. It's his business to run, not ours.
Despite how many people ALSO care for the ferrets.
Remember when the rescue was ~50 ferrets and Thor said it had reached capacity?
What's it now? Like 80?
And he's only expanding cause he has the means to do so.
Same room, same space, somehow fits more than 50% more.
I do not know the logistics of how the ferret rescue is run. The only people that likely DO are thor and shaye
The size limit was mostly from cage space. If they have more cages in other rooms, that would equal more capacity. Its also nowhere close to 80.
I'm pretty sure Thor said on stream the rescue had more than 80 ferrets.
In any case it's probably just another emotional decision, and combine that with shrinking revenue plus ballooning costs, is going to end up with more cuts or some other move based purely on keeping the business alive.
Itll be nice having the rescue building built so all revenue is towards upkeep of the ferts
It already is. The money being used to pay for the building is already set aside.
Expect for the extra cost from additional audits the local gov made him do cause the approval process is taking to long 🙃 so its still sinking more then quoted for things like inspections
Some governments are practically criminal in their dealings, and getting anything involving construction done in a reasonable amount of time involves bribes or having personal relationships with those in charge.
That i dont know just know thor is having to spend more then expected so 🤷♂️ i personally will be happy when the building is done for his stress levels and the comfort of the ferrets
What not opening and refreshing your wet palette for over a year does to it. 
extra costs from additional audits and extended approval process?
costing more than quoted due to additional inspections?
...
you're just describing anyone building anything anywhere in the world these days 
stealth construction. built it yourself without permits under the cover of night. nobody will ever know.

it's probably still good?
just needs a good shake
Oh yes, just funny how GW paints behave. Basically all the other non-GW paints are normal. 
Oh good old make home over nigth and you can have it trick, it needed to have a fireplace and fire on it at morning
Indeed, fireplaces are a must.
I wish i could enjoy a fireplace
Unfortunately, my countrys is only hot all year around
Shot of paint thinner and lots of agitation?
The wraiths are coming out of that bone 
Warlock beyblade is back
Just a little shaking.
oh gods no, what has AI created?!

my childhood. so many rainy lunchtimes in the pc lab
Since kick chat is so adamant in talking about milk
https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1469-7998.1962.tb01835.x
BEHOLD
Giraffe milk
thank you 60s scientists and your morally just... bad testing ethics
Chat was talking about cheese.
What kind of mold is that? 
whatever Thor's hair is I think...
free floss
So a wig mold then 
@livid path The clip didnt include a bit of the earlier tts but still clipped the majority of it

All of you are gross
I hope you know that
I want to remove my ability to perceive the world.
I am innocent in all this
Doubt

Babies can also be disgusting 
human babies mostly
true, they are a goblin. 
Baby goblin
I am 5'1 and totally not a baby
I'm not supposed to be milking the giraffe?
someone should have told me
smol baby
go in air jail
one hand
You put the numbers in the wrong order
Not a baby, just ridiculously small.
Even smaller than a normal goblin.
True, Most goblins are taller than Red.
If you're 'one' Goblin Tall, You're still taller than Red.
Thankfully I'm taller than one goblin.
You are, But you're also the Tank brain Goblin, Single minded, Hyper focused on task
Red facing the average Goblin.
We need the Tyler1 Meme, But with Red.
Friend?
This shall suffice.
Yes
Close enough.
I am safe from people making memes of me, because if they do, they forfeit their attentions to me in a fey contract.
SO IM SAFE!
Whats your protection?
LOST it already!
Who are you again?

So who wants to talk about cheese?
CHEESE?!
Centaur cheese. made from the centaurs I have been giving facts about.
Can i have some
Food is Food
Brother, you don't want that.
was buying milk the euphemism for the wife killed him or for he got wind of the plan and ran away beforehand? I always confuse it with the getting cigarets one...
You can't have my attention cause I don't have any in the first place.
I was medically diagnosed. 
Tank brain
lies.
I have healer brain. which means I am constantly thinking "GET THE HELL OUT OF THE RING OF FIRE! OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING? NO NO NO STOP PULLING THOSE MOBS! AAAGGGHHH STOP SPAMMING HEAL ME!"
My DPS brain: “I fell down down down in a burnin ring of fire and it burn burn burns-“
Ok, ok, but may we have your word then? /s
Which one?
MMO healers are tiny little balls of rage and stress.
I am an entire crystal of salt.
we healers are salt incarnate
No one is more salty than the healer.
Oh yeah especially when they’re healing me
Cause how else am I supposed to deal as much damage as possible if I’m not standing right on the enemies face?
word as in synonym for ability to speak
Buying milk is the same one as buying cigarettes
Resto healers are chill because there is no burst heal. You die, it's your fault.
Then no, you may not have all of them. 
Really? Wasn't one of them for when the wife killed the husband and hide the body and the other was when he ran away just in time?
Not that I know
It's something from before the times when law enforcement was able to investigate murders closely. It was what happened when someone beat up their wife...
But that is a bunch of generations ago, so...
I just know it as the same one where the guy just leaves
Well the guy didn't leave. Never questioned why the "vanished while getting milk and/or cigarrets" just stopped almost exactly around the time DNA tests and more presence of law enforcement become a thing?

Devs get paid to deal with it. The guild leader has a full time babysitting job and doesn't get paid.
Then there's heroshooter healers, which can be either that, or novice tacticians who can make decent enough calls but panic when they're the ones being shot at
A very different stress factor, them.

Hero shooter healers would have a better job if there was player collison physics or a real penalty for being shot in the back

So...when are we starting the production of Thor milk, as in, milk made of Thor
It all began with the allocating of the Brain Cells. Three brain cells were gifted to Twitch chat; masters of hype trains and backseating the streamer when he plays video games. Three were given to Kick chat; fastest to interact and quickest to troll. And one, one was given to YouTube chat, who above all else desired chaos. For within these brain cells was bound the strength and the will to rule any stream. But they were all of them deceived, for another brain cell was made. In the land of the Streamer, in the glow of a second monitor, the Dark Goblin Lord forged in secret a final brain cell to doom them all. And into this brain cell he poured all his remaining attention span, his sleep deprivation and his uncontrollable urge to say "chat, are we cooked? One brain cell to rule them all. One by one, the chats of the internet fell to the power of brain rot. YouTube chat spammed. Twitch chat KEKW'd. Kick chat descended into madness. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of moderators and subscribers marched against the flood of yarrCheers and 7s. And on the very slopes of the livestream, they fought for the freedom of coherent conversation. Victory was near, but the power of the brain cell could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that a random viewer took up the sacred words: "Ligma." And the Dark Goblin Lord's concentration was shattered. The brain cell passed from chat to chat, who each had one chance to use it wisely. But the hearts of viewers are easily corrupted. And the brain cell has a will of its own. It betrayed Twitch chat to reaction spam and viewbotting. It betrayed Kick chat to endless gamba. And YouTube chat... no wisdom was found there at all. And some things that should not have been remembered were clipped forever. History became highlights. Highlights became TikToks. And for two and a half thousand streams, the brain cell passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. A goblin. For the time will soon come when goblins will shape the streaming meta of all..
In case anyone needs the text
Three brain cells for the Twitch-goblins under the sky,
Seven for the Discord-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Viewers doomed to die,
One for Thor on his dark throne
In the Land of Kick where the Shadows lie.
One brain cell to rule them all, One brain cell to find them,
One brain cell to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Kick where the Shadows lie.
Don worry about it
Don't worry chat. I keep the hidden braincells secret. I keep it safe. Hidden away.
It was not a snack?
Someone always has to run their yapper
no doubt
Thor span so fast his pc blow up
tenically spinal fluid is the same thing
Oo thats why those are nice straws
It's highly unlikely anyone here will ever need this knowledge, but amdgpu_top is pretty bleeping nice.

kick allows 3min clips so here is a full disclosure of the milk incident https://kick.com/piratesoftware/clips/clip_01KRHG72M08S4BH9VWG3GFZKRT
Looks like an even more indepth HWINFO
oh, i haven't tested hwinfo, i'm installing it now. This is my "what is going on with my computer/temps" list of crap I run. batt is an alias to check my PS5 controller's battery.
bpytop
sensors
fastfetch
amdgpu_top
batt
@jolly sky what in the world. That's like... too much. I don't even know where to start on that.
Anyway, the only thing I've identified that I need as an upgrade on my rig is an nvme headsink
HWINFO is a lot, and you customise what sensors it brings up
I guess if you customized it and wanted it running in a terminal 24/7 or something, it would be worth, but I'm generally just doing a casual check of all systems to make sure nothing is accidentally on fire
And have a more scaled down version;
And you can turn off each and every one of those readouts if you wish
Oh, okay, that's pretty. ... wait, is that on Windows?
Yup
Cause that might be why we're seeing two very different things with hwinfo, lol
Not a native program
Free Hardware Analysis, Monitoring and Reporting. In-depth Hardware Information, Real-Time System Monitoring, Reporting & more
This
Gotcha, not this
OH, uh no. And I just looked it up there doesn't seems to be a Linux version of HWINFO
At least not natively
Nah. Just my cobbled together system overview command list that I was talking about: bpytop, sensors, fastfetch, amdgpu_top, and batt, which is: alias batt='upower -i "$(upower -e | grep -Ei controller | head -n1)"'
If I chose to I could even display the RPM of the mechanical hard drive, Read/Write speeds of the SSD's, readouts of almost damn near anything
I don't have a mechanical HDD, but yeah, I can get that info from those commands also. I imagine hwinfo is the equivalent of those commands in a pretty GUI for Windows users, which when I used Windows, would've been awfully nice. Which is why I was saying knowing about amdgpu_top is likely too niche to ever matter for anyone watching this chat.
Nah I appreciate what amdgpu_top from what I've seen from your screenshot
I had no idea I needed a new CPU cooler until I moved to Linux and say that my CPU was constantly throttling itself, so knowing about hwinfo would've been good
I wish I had kept a picture of the old CPU cooler that came with it. It's a prebuilt that I've slowly upgraded over time...
Ah, it was this, just much dustier.
The good thing about the amdgpu_top, though, is it alerted me to the fact that something was eating up around 5.8 GB of VRAM for no reason. so... yeah, definitely something to keep an eye on.
so why can't we drop f bombs here
Honestly? Probably bots. If you dont have that word blocked its like They Know
They descend upon the discord. Like vultures.
another one bites the dust~
Wow. I cannae believe such a named account would fall for a scam. Preposterous. 
crazy how that works out sometimes
Okay, is monitoring my VRAM in my upper bar too much, or fine, you think?
I see it
and another one down and another one down
... or maybe VRAM is fine and I shouldn't be looking at my NVMe temperature sensors
I think Twitch might be doing something weird with viewer numbers. Counting 22 in a chat and Twitch is reporting 12 even after a refresh. Instead of "capping" numbers they just just be reducing them by a fixed amount or percentage, but no way to test that theory without a large sample size, and no way to see the full user list for a large streamer.
Checked a couple other smaller streamers and it's pretty inconsistent. Most are close, but all are under by at least a few even after subtracting bots.
I wonder if that's accounting for users connected to only the chat client.
Twitch has already stated that people connected via third party apps (chatty, chatterino, etc) don't get accurately counted towards viewer numbers and this has been an on going issue for over 2 years. might be what you're seeing
Twitch has always done weird shit with viewership numbers long before this
its wild that they struggle with that but embeds still work perfectly fine IMO
because embeds are the video it's self
I'm convinced Twitch IT doesn't know what it's doing
Chatty/chatterino just service the chat side (IRC)
i guess, but chatterino users typically also have the main stream open
which is why you might have 20 people actively chatting but only 18 viewers show up
I don't think any of us know what we're doing
and embeds typically dont have chat at all
we also know they stop counting you as a viewer past a "resonable number of open streams"
we just don't know what that actual number is, the assumption is between 2-4
my guess is it's the same weird chat to viewer issues we've been seeing for about a year and not anything new
It just bugs me it's only counting 50% of a small streamer's audience when literally everyone is active
we dont? i was under the impression that it was established you stop counting after having more than 2 stream open. dont remember where i got that from, but it's the number i've abided. 
Twitch has never explicitly given specific numbers as far as I've seen. its always been "a reasonable number of streams a person can meaningfully watch at one time"
which is ambigious
the general assumption is that's between 2 and 4 open tabs, but no one actually knows. TBH twitch may not even know
Twitch is scared of giving actual numbers so people don't find out how their Streamers are ultimately getting scammed (this is an assumption/speculation, i have no data backing this up)
If my memory is correct, you get counted for zero in all streams if you have more than 2 open. I can't pinpoint where that number came from but I'm sure it's 2
fair enough. 
this was my memory as well and i have some itch that the info came from twitch, since otherwise i wouldnt have thought it was official.
I didnt know that was even a thing
That part right there
thats what leaves it open to interpretation
twitch gets to determine what is "reasonably watch"
which again, they've never stated what that number is
not that I can find anyway
I've seen a lot of posts claiming they "know" it's 2
but I've never see twitch actually come out and give us a hard number
I can have up to 4 open at once and get like 90% of what's going on while playing a game unless there's a lot of activity going on (like a collab)
i could have sworn i've seen official source for the 2... but wouldnt be suprised if my brain just hallucinated it... stroke, brain damage and all that jazz...
After you open 2 streams you stop getting channel points
Closest confirmation I can think of
yeahhh thats not true
Clarification, the 3rd one won't get any
if that were the case my channel points wouldn't be consistently going up across the 4 streams I have open at all times
I use to open all 4 streams on Twitch and only get points for 2 of those 4 streams even with subs in all of them
Now I just get one on YT and 2 on Kick
An adhd nightmare
If it's all game streams I can maybe split my attention 6 ways, but people are much more interactive when thier attention isn't on gaming

s4,e6. Window of oppertunity. amazing episode.
the best I think
Time loop shenanigans are always fun
"In the middle of my backswing!"
One of the best episodes
urgo deserves some credit too though
Side note
One of my favorite things with Stargate is that they always found a way to incorporate the season recap as part of the ongoing story
Rather than it just being a plain clip compilation
The first season in particular was great, since it was just
Some senator decided the program cost too much and they all had to justify its existence to him with what they'd found
And as someone who's done both military and government work, yeah that tracks
human form replicator: what are you planning
Jack Oneill : I was planning on retiring
ah but thats atlantis not sg-1
I would take a bite

don't forget the context
"you have said that on many occations perhaps next time I will not be so forgiving"
Yes I love teal'c and Jack in that episode when Daniel says "Well if you know everything was going to back to the way it was you could do anything you wanted for as long as you wanted without any consequences" At that moment the look on O'Neills face is the best.
I like how everyone in the SG-1 fandom can sound off on the season, episode number, and episode name of Window of Opportunity 
its pretty universally loved amongst the fandom.

yaaa some of us have all 10 season's soo we can just look it up.

On the evening of December 10, 2021, a tornado struck the DLI4 delivery facility in Edwardsville, Illinois, United States, an Amazon warehouse that oversees delivery logistics for the Greater St. Louis region. A majority of workers that evening were temporary contractors brought in to assist with the additional volume of goods moved due to the C...
im in that discord. never seen them give hard numbers for it
so unless they have screen shots
no clue if they have. i have all extra stuff blocked so i see just blocks of empty where embeds should be. 
that doesnt give a number
yeah thats the only thing I've ever seen from twitch directly
and its ambigious
Intentionally
yup
In updates shared with Twitch NA Partners, the company clarified that only a limited number of streams per IP address are eligible to count toward official viewership. If someone opens more than two streams at the same time, none of them will be credited with that viewer’s presence. The system automatically flags this behavior as non-engagement and removes it from the metrics. no clue if that's paraphrasing or a direct quote. 
yeah until I see actual screen shot from a twitch staff that says "its two" im still going with we dont actually know
All we know is there's a limit
yup
And everyone is jumping on it's two.
fair enough. i'll keep to 2 since i want my viewership to count. that's the only reason why i got turbo too.

Take a look at the Announcement Trailer for Shark Mart, a comedic co-op simulation game developed by stre1itzia. Players will find themselves as sharks going undercover as mere dolphins to run a friendly shop. Stock shelves, keep up the cover, and don't get exposed by the fish police. Shark Mart is coming soon to PC (Steam).
This looks so scuffed but fun
What in the world 
mornin ^^
exclusive milk stream today? 
Good morning 
What did I just watch? 😵💫 😵💫
I freed myself from Hearts of Iron 4 now just to turn everything else off...
Sharks
kick* synonym at this point 
It felt more like a bad acid trip.
IT'S THURSDAY, THOR!!
It is 
It's Kick only Thorsday. 
I thought it was Wednesday apparently
kick only. like last week. this is the thing as kick pays out 19.92x more than twitch when exclusive.
yesterday was wednesday, blockgame dev stream
its only for thursday
today more of the same but just for kick
in 7 hours Subnautica 2 is out. i'd imagine that'll be the friday stream.
OwO let's terrify thor with more ocean
That depends on if Thor plays it
considering he's said the ocean scares him iirc, he prolly won't play it
i do hope he comes back to Palworld once that full releases tho!
HE DID say he was interested yesterday.
He even played the first one.
good night all
really? fun! i never got to see him play the first one, so the second will be a treat
He might play it with friends or something

so anyone that gets watched in a 5+ apt complex situation gets f***?
how do they handle larger apartment complex situations that lean more towards corprate network size than not
nobody knows. 
that implies there is some thing to be known; ie: doing about it
has anyone confirmed they are doing $*** about it?
You think that twitch actually knows what they're doing?
kind of
Okay, is this just a me thing? I can't subscribe
they wouldn't be as big if they didn't have their head at least half way out of their @$$
You'd be surprised.
and I'm not getting hit up by my bank thinking it's a fradulent charge or something. tf
Might be an issue on kicks end 
... Wait, are there ads on kick or are subs just to support the streamer?
no ads on kick
it must suck to work at kick right now your back is against a wall and your neck is against the blade of the knife of advertisting
if you do ads, everyone jumps ship
if you don't, you tank
Oh, alright. I guess I'll not be a sub on kick and stay subbed on twitch. 🤷♂️
that was before the current CEO and lots of sh... stuff...
oh, @wintry coyote weren't we discussing something the other day? cause I changed my status bar and I think it's kinda cool
we had a chat about fedora and kde. 🤔
AH! That's what it was. So, I was going to make a custom widget in KDE, but I ended up modifying the upper bar in GNOME for my purposes and it works for now. I still plan to test the KDE/widget thing, tho

Basically, yeah. I think it looks neat
yeah, it's neat. 
That is some duct tape and super glue, trust me
mmmh... glue... 
ever since i found out about touch designer and resolume video games just seem so unintersting to me. Then i made the mistake of discovering DMX and lighting arrays. Now all the toys I want are expensive AF 😭
The cap decided its time had come.
oh no!
unscrew whats left of the cap, get some get a push pin, stick that in the hole and then place plastic wrap over that, screw the remaider of the cap back on. that'll keep it sealed and from drying out
Oh, i've already fixed it. Was all chunky inside too, so mixed it up and added some flow improver.

@odd musk thoughts?
I should probably use some colour picking software, because I do not trust my eyes. 
It's pretty close. could use something to neutralize a bit more of the yellow. but that could also be my screen and your camera not picking up the true color xD but it's within the range of beige/khaki but on my screen it still looks a tiny bit too yellow. either add a tiny touch of a purple to it, or perhaps a tiny touch of grey, and I mean a TINY TINY amount. That was the hardest part of learning for me, is learning not to add to much at one time because you can always add more but you can't take it away.
Walk the bottle past it
what?
oh lol
Every heard of croix?
A hint of a smell of the flavor was added 
some one whispered the name of a fruit 2 towns over
A breath of flavor in them lacroix
Lacroix tastes as if someone who made the flavor, had never tasted the flavor before but was described it by a friend.
Not even wrong
Oh okay, so consistency of skim milk, whiff of fruit two towns over, and run lacroix past it. Got it.
La croix, this flavor is the flavor of looking at a lemon longingly while stirring the water
if you wanna go off pantone "khaki"
Beige and the cooler beige.
the first one is closer to what most people consider "khaki" when they think of pants
yes see, just got to tone the yellow a bit out. which is why I suggested a tiny touch of purple because it can also darken it slightly to be khaki on the right
New animations on some penguins, "working on new ideas" for Oscar. 3 bug fixes and some more ARG puzzles ?
People dont know about original jake
let that sink in
which one?
Jake. From State Farm.
The one i posted 
ohhhh.... ||yea no idk that guy||
remember pigments are subtractive colors. and you can't make every color precisely from mixing pigments. You usually try to get as close as you can with what you have. The more base pigments you gave the closer you can get. also for more natural colors you can use red blue yellow as the colors you can make from that cover more natural colors than CMYK. but if you want a more modern vibrant look CMYK is king
Skim milk, two town fruit scent, running lacroix, tail of newt, eye of toad, boil and bubble...
for this most recent month update, yes. thats 30 days of work. not sure how much work you're expecting a single individual to do in 30 days
yeah well, she sounds hideous
moths got an update? do they no longer get trapped by lights?
While doing multiple other tasks at that
Well those animations are a days work if that.
several medical emergencies with the ferret resuce
go do better if you think it's so easy
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Okay thats fine are you also making a game? we would love to see it. I for one love to see as a dev progresses and watch them grow and learn 😊
Give me 20 min
We also have resources for you if you need more help cant wait to see what you make
Let's see. white marsh-grass, mustard seed, buttercup leaves, tree moss, houndstongue, adder's tongue fern, poppies or knot weed, english ivy stems, and wild garlic flakes. Yeah that concoction definitely will cause a bubbling trouble.
Only kick stream?
yea it's Thursday
Yeah thorsday is normally off day but he is experimenting with kick
Yeah, and that'll be the norm on thursday.
Those looks great are you working on a larger project using those sprites?
I have been trying to make a ttrpg system. A project that has been on and off again worked on for at least 2 decades now. I keep redoing everything because I keep getting to a point and going this doesn't sound fun. and starting over again
What parts are you finding not fun? 
I keep making things way to complicated
Maybe work your way up to that point then like final fantasy did?
see why I might be disappointed in that update ? I know big drama lately and all but surely that means more time in on gamedev not less.
I like how you focused on just the artwork and didnt read anything.
Okay i understand, but why do you care about his game are you making your own and if you are why compare
There's far more than just the art to work on, and thor isn't the one doing the art.
And your speed of development isn't everyone's.
"The ARG has been greatly expanded" "I spent this month working on storyline ideas for them to make them matter a bit more than that" thats the NEW content.
and he's stated repeatedly that the bulk of what is left for the game is story
you're mad about him working on the story part of a STORY DRIVEN GAME
Not mad, disappointed that its taking so long.
there aren't going to be massive huge content updates every month my dude.
i dont really see the problem. there was suposed to be an update, there was an update right?
Disappointed a GRRM too.
I can hear this.
I am currently not at my computer, what is going on?
Thursday
Thorsday
I know it's Thursday. I meant why are people bringing up heartbound updates?
They dont think its enough
don't they always?
The norm
flexing poorly proportioned sprites in some sort of gotcha?
I don't understand tbh
Hey, I pre ordered Kerbal Space Program 2. It can always be worse.
I thought the sprites were fine
nah, too tall and thin and the idle animation is cheap
someone comes in, complains about heartbound updates and is all "sprites don't take time I can do that"?
I expect their sprites to be banging
if I want low effort sprites I can make my own 
I will admit they are better than any people I can draw
I suck at people
I'm just goblining a bit
Greetings
It was a rush job, that was my point man.
And then when it was pointed out he doesn't do that art just the animation is worse.
ik just ribbing you
(get it, cos you're ribbless)
your sprites are fine
I have been on a ff9 grind
Animating a good piece of art is easier.
We must protect Vivi at all costs
Again are you making something or just being angry?
I can draw hands.
they also had several medical emergencies at the rescue last month, you think maybe that took priority over pushing out more content?

Workslave must work 
Not a game no. Just animating and drawning for the fun of it.
Hands are feet for the wrists
most of the art community probably resents you (kidding)
I raise you sculpting hands.
what is GRRM? 🤔
Game of thrones.
I see your sculpting hands and I raise you playing games with feet
not sure i follow this train of thought. 
he keeps saying he will finishes the book but its been years
Has tbor seen this
yes
If you have issues with someone's game, don't buy it. He's been very vocal of "don't buy the game if it not being done bothers you"
Some games are decades in development. So why does his speed matter to you really?
You control the games you buy 🤓
You know the devbloat or storybloat problem.
*laughs maniacally in Duke Nukem Forever
Oi
I can show you pictures later
He says repeatedly its 99% done. next months update and still 99%
Ever played RuneScape?
and?
So he keeps expanding not focusing the story.
and?
Ah yes burn out on something youre bad at will turn out well
Yes please!
I'm cutting off the heartbound argument. It's no longer constructive and pretty much just ripping into thor now.
i jsut dont see the complaint i guess? i dont see how it matters, an update was promised, an update dropped. was something promised for this particular update that wasn't delivered?
You could say you are unbounding the heart
That is not a single story is it though. Same a WOW. Plenty of the expanses have a story from beginning, middle and end.
Atm they seem to have their own insecurities about dev time otherwise i cant see why they care so much

'Giant Devil Dingo' is an Indigenous story recorded for the Northern Territory Dept. of Education in the late 60's - early 70's.

I love how twitch is laying it in with these turbo things and stuff
You know they're having a rough time the more they push turbo.
Cause that means they're getting less and less ads.
"PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY TURBO!! 🥹 "
BUY TURBO 
with how much better kick pays, it's hard to see twitch still maintaining a monopoly within a years time
If kick can successfully impliment ads? 100%
I'd support that
assuming people can let go of their presumptions.
personally i dont wish downfall of twitch, i wish the rise of a proper competition to make everyone get off their asses and provide us multiple good platforms. 
It'd take a bit, but if kick stays the way their going it could happen.
this will happen
And yeah, same
for example, kick is extremely creator friendly
twitch is extremely creator hostile
as kick takes up more audience from twitch
twitch will loosen up on it's creator hostile policies
yeah. kick is in the right direction. hope it shakes up twitch enough at some point to wake them up. 
We just have to hope that they loosen up on the RIGHT policies, and not just loosen up on ALL of them.
i just want multiple platforms where i dont need to think if the platform is treating the creator nicely and if people are gonna try to make me feel bad for watching on "THAT" platform. 
I wonder if any of you will get this reference "Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin division. my 🖕 badge"

Unfortunately people are going to try to make you feel bad for near everything. Platforms, businesses, living areas, charities, food. The best thing you can do is find where your morals lay, and ignore what other people try to make you feel bad about.
Most of the time what they say is performative anyway

@minor nymph that's where we get the current stream link from
does it not just load automatically for you when you open kick? or is that just mean because I bookmarked thor's stream directly?
the current stream is just kick com/piratesoftware, the question was how we got the vod link for the current stream
so that thor can use his fancy streamerbot tooling to create kick timestamps for TTS
