Hallo

[kindred kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/lewissaunderson38-lewissaunderson-cry-crying-cry-meme-gif-11499408157122608476

[wise wedge]

“Partymenber” (when creature is cast choose one wizard, cleric, rogue, warrior, druid… this creature gains that class as a creature type) would be awesome form of tribal mechanic without all the extra bs

[slim kraken]

honestly I really need wizard to commit to more batching mechanics like this and round them out

SEA CREATURES INCLUDED

make that a batched keyword like party

[stark vessel]

I think you could add "all creatures of the chosen type get [insert buff here]" on some of them too

[wise wedge]

Like i said they need a tribalism set thats not “dinosaur-merfolk-vampire”

[wise wedge]

Yep

[stark vessel]

that way the slept on tribal decks can catch up to what all the others have

[wise wedge]

Like 20-30 different tribal groups type thing but wotc is cowards and wont cause thats to controversial

[slim kraken]

I liked All Will be One quite a bit. More rebels and phyrexians which was definitely needed (and I rly like toxic and For Mirrodin as mechanics)

[wise wedge]

A whole tribal conflict plane (similar to tarkir) but more and not just color tribe

[slim kraken]

for mirrodin, which is on equipments and creates a token on ETB it attaches itself to

I love mechanics like this

job select is the same thing but it adds a creature type, from FF

[stark vessel]

I think the best set for soldiers was the brothers war simpply because it had myrel lol

[slim kraken]

Brothers War carries the archetype atm yeah

also the bant commander from the Doctor Who deck that can make soldier tokens

[wise wedge]

Yeah the creates artifact token that it comes in with that drops and can be equipped elsewhere is very cool

[stark vessel]

see thats pretty solid token generation

[slim kraken]

load your deck with soldier synergies and legendary soldier generals, as well as ways to either fly or trample

so you can actually use his 2nd ability to great effect and get attacks through

[near topaz]

Myrel my beloved

[stark vessel]

most soldier generation is trickle enchants that give like 1 soldier per turn lol

[slim kraken]

oh yeah Brothers War AND Dominaria United are good for soldiers

that shit felt like a block again I miss those sets ngl

slept on DU hard, but Brothers War I love to death

[wise wedge]

Squirrel deck that makes squirrel when you play a forest or generator a acorn token (enchant that lets you tap a forest to make a acorn token) themes like that are perfect

[slim kraken]

I bought both Brothers War precons and an entire box

[stark vessel]

yeah, enchantments for soldiers are hot garbage but artifacts for soldiers are ok

[wise wedge]

Like mtg has so much potential still thats just slept on as a game

[stark vessel]

your telling me SOLDIER military program is 3 mana and only give 1 soldier per turn but with horn of gondor I can double the number of human soldiers I have every turn for 3 mana?

[wise wedge]

Tbf the lord of the rings set isnt balanced at all

Proliferate however was balanced part of a whole set

[slim kraken]

my favorite forehead moment was when they thought "lets make a diablo-like arpg in the magic universe!" which sounds like a fantastic idea, but they also had the grand wisdom to say to themselves, probably in a board room of idiots:

"so magic is a card game right? yeah that is its entire identity. make the spells in this game randomized, like a card deck haha" and NO ONE LIKED THIS WHEN IT HAD AN ALPHA

I TRIED IT, IT WAS ASS

[stark vessel]

the other enchantment that is for soldiers I don't have in my soldier deck cus it's just that bad. 5 mana to take initiative and conditionally make 2 tokens per turn? no thanks lol

[wise wedge]

even i made a mtg magic game where you can play a mtg deck as your player character for dnd and it was tight how did they mess that up

[slim kraken]

literally just do what Grim Dawn does but a bit different.

Level 2? Pick your first color.
Level 10? Pick a 2nd, or focus on your first. Maybe some special unlock in the game grants you a splash into a third color, all accessing different skill trees.

[fast isle]

kibby

[slim kraken]

BUT NOOOO MAKE IT RANDOM

[sleek garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/sprigatito-floragato-meowscarada-pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-gif-12212141845228822814

[slim kraken]

thats basically just the shandalar game and that game is cool

and so many people want to recreate it

so hell yeah

[fast isle]

this gremlin screams at me and Idk what she wants

[slim kraken]

they could have just made another shandalar and it would sell like hotcakes

[wise wedge]

Actually close to the system i had for the dnd game where you picked added or strengthened color synergies as you leveled up

[slim kraken]

also magic legends was gonna be monetized to hell and back

[stark vessel]

I think this is the best soldier card out there other than cards you would play as your commander lol

[wise wedge]

Like you are the planes walker and you summon creatures from planes youve visited and defeated to your deck to use in combat

Was such a cool “encounters the game” system

[slim kraken]

pokemon

[wise wedge]

I mean thats all planes walkers are in lore otherwise they are just a shitty superhero like the avengers

[slim kraken]

COLOSSAL DREADMAW, I CHOOSE YOU

[wise wedge]

Back in my day planes walkers made whole worlds on a whim

[slim kraken]

Gatewatch did some major damage to my trust in their story lol

[wise wedge]

Yep

[slim kraken]

War for the Spark... oh my god

[median atlas]

You need a colossal dreadmask to catch a dreadmaw

[slim kraken]

I love the dreadmask

great card

[wise wedge]

Same time as avengers end game btw

[slim kraken]

SIGH

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[median atlas]

Im sorry war for the spark was 2019

Excuse me

[wise wedge]

End game was 2019

[slim kraken]

the fake ravnica set is old now

[median atlas]

Yes that I know

[slim kraken]

sorry fake ravnica block

[wise wedge]

it was beat for beat the same story

[slim kraken]

the not-block

[wise wedge]

The transitory ravnica

[median atlas]

Holy crap war for the spark came out the day before endgame

That disturbs me

[wise wedge]

I know

[slim kraken]

next time, on Ravnica:

"WHO DUN IT?" mystery abound, as a murderer runs afoul!

[median atlas]

(At least it did on arena)

[wise wedge]

Its 🙃

[median atlas]

At this point ravnica is just the board game collab plane

[wise wedge]

Vampire daddy is angry what will he do with his angel daughter this time

[slim kraken]

Monopoly is next and New Capenna fans will scream that it wasn't their time for a soulless cash grab crossover

I GOT IT.

IKORIA. FLIP 7

[wise wedge]

The only reason for the new monopoly crossover sets is the small player pieces

[slim kraken]

this makes no sense ignore it

[median atlas]

God no I want actual capenna sets with quality

[slim kraken]

saaaame

[median atlas]

I got back into mtg when new capenna was the most recent

I love that set

[plucky lark]

Crafting overhaul and other massive changes coming soon https://fxtwitter.com/Simon_Hypixel/status/2035708624035533251

Simon (@Simon_Hypixel)

Since this post, we've brought on some incredible talent. Last week, I approved major changes to the crafting and progression direction. Complete overhaul of the foundation.
︀︀
︀︀This will redefine the future of the game. Every system, every update we build from here, sits on top of what's coming. Can't share details yet, but this is the biggest shift since we got the game back.
︀︀
︀︀More soon.

Quoting Simon (@Simon_Hypixel)

Hiring automation & tinkering devs/designers for Hytale!
︀︀
︀︀We’re exploring physics-driven systems built around real, physical parts. Gears, shafts, belts, pulleys, rotation, motion, power generation and transmission, logic, and machines that players can assemble, break, and optimize.
︀︀
︀︀The design challenge is to make it feel like a natural extension of the game, fully optional, easy to engage with at a small scale, yet capable of deep complexity and automation for players who want to go further!

[slim kraken]

I want more of the Riveteers, genuinely some of the most interesting Jund card designs in a long while. I know Ziatora is a bit of the exception, its another dragon that sacs and does things. BUT, Beamtown Bullies and Henzy are insane commanders, Ognis basically started the trend of haste tribal commanders.

God damn that set was just loads of fun

people look at it like "oh it barely held value" WHO CARES THE CARDS ARE FUN

ALSO STOP PLAYING GIADA ITS BORING LOL

[stark vessel]

ferrets in bloomburrow 2

[slim kraken]

yes please

[stark vessel]

come on wizards add the cute killers

[slim kraken]

random thought

if we go back to Ixalan we need more cat people but please lets leave the god damn hollow earth shit alone

[slow tinsel]

Goodness if only i knew what 1/8th of 64 was...

The ever so intelligent puppy:

[median atlas]

Atraxa getting final destination’d by a bunch of New Yorkers might be my favorite death in media

[slim kraken]

yeah I read that one, normally skim or skip a lot of em

[topaz flame]

i have food

[slim kraken]

the plane of New York City is just a cheap imitation of the peak that was New Capenna

[stark vessel]

I think either they should not bring myrel back or they should keep bringing her back over and over as a bit lol. She gets too good at escaping the afterlife

not myrel

[median atlas]

Yeah it’s messed up for them to have copied all the gangs so blatantly

[stark vessel]

whos it

[slim kraken]

March of the Machines teasing a compleated Koma on Kaldheim but not giving it a card is absolutely criminal

[median atlas]

NYC plane, that is

[stark vessel]

elspeth

yeah

mixed those two up

[median atlas]

Teasing? They straight up made, announced, merc’d, and still didn’t make the card

[forest cosmos]

howdy

[median atlas]

In the story I mean

[slim kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/no-game-no-life-anime-wall-gif-20356400

tbf a phyrexian koma sounds like a nightmare when the original version of that card was a fearful presence on the board

[median atlas]

I read all of March of the Machines and new phyrexia for some reason

[slim kraken]

u let that thing make 1 serpent, you're screwed

[median atlas]

I mean the new version is still nasty

[slim kraken]

from foundations yeah

nowhere near as good tho, the original was flexible with what it could do with the serpents

you either:

• hose the enemy down good
• live forever

good choices

[median atlas]

Koma would walk you down in broad daylight and then stare the police dead in the eyes just to say “you don’t have the guts to stop me”

[slim kraken]

Koma starts listing off their family members and asking how they're doing

the cops are sweating. they get it

Koma Escobar

[topaz flame]

yall ever just like eat random shit in the fridge and it just be like the most delectable meal you've had all day

[slim kraken]

idk but we found capers in the fridge and all I can think about is the Larry David sandwich

so there's that

[topaz flame]

well roasted chicken in a pot roast bowl from the freezer with hot sauce and garlic salt was just mwah

[forest cosmos]

only hat i could find to wear to work was this ugly ass vintage black scala felt hat and i really really hate that its actually more practical for rain than my usual hats

why do practical things look so shitty on me

speaking of which, i need to get some new clothes as i have grown an awful lot recently

[topaz flame]

i need to find a hair tie

and lose 20 pounds

and shave

[forest cosmos]

im just getting taller

my 30 30 jeans are too short now

[topaz flame]

i stopped growing at like 17

i felt jipped

[forest cosmos]

not yet there

why is the ground sinking away from me

i dislike it

[median atlas]

Dax you can do two of those pretty easily I’d imagine

[topaz flame]

ikr shaving is so hard dude

i cant imagine

like its either all off or gross

[forest cosmos]

Idk how to shave its a painful process for me

[median atlas]

A good electric razor is a very good investment

[topaz flame]

ive lost like 2

[forest cosmos]

nah im alr

[stark vessel]

I stopped at like 16 or 17 idr
All I remember was I was following the usual trendlines and stagnated for whatever reason

[median atlas]

I think I hit my max height or so and it’s really awkward having to like, actually pay attention to calorie or food intake

[topaz flame]

its the chem trails man /j

[forest cosmos]

alr i gotta go, im out of firewood and the house needs heat

[stark vessel]

like, if I continued following the norm growth trends I would have been like 2-3 inches taller

[topaz flame]

at 17 my body also decided my brain no longer worked right

[gentle juniper]

Apparently crunchyroll was hacked so check your cc I guess

[stark vessel]

I think it's because I didn't eat enough or sleep lol. My health was detrimentally horrible my senior year

[topaz flame]

mine was the lettuce and the nicotine

[slim kraken]

I got no idea when my brain truly started to go and that's part of the problem rofl

[forest cosmos]

my big brother wont let me be within 3 feet of him at the store cause it makes him feel sad that im now taller than him

[slim kraken]

memory is a jerk

[topaz flame]

oh no 17 is when i tipped over and spilled everything, this was going on for years

[median atlas]

I was confused what lettuce had to do with poor growth and I’m starting to realize that I am not well versed in nicknames

[forest cosmos]

thanks mom i almost forgot to do the things i need to do

[stark vessel]

I think I did stop growing before I should have. There is too much pointing to it

[slim kraken]

physically I grew fine

MENTALLY THO

when u gotta mature extremely fast and your childhood grinds to a halt, god damn

shit sucks so now im a 32 year old child

[topaz flame]

i bounced between my dad and mom

grounded for years at a time with my dad

[slim kraken]

god damn...

[topaz flame]

mom just like emotionally cutting me off

[stark vessel]

having stopped growing before I should have would make sense

[topaz flame]

but hey everyone experinces diffierent what might sound bad coming from me might not be that bad to someone else

[gentle juniper]

My our lifes were violently average till the water heater exploded lol

[stark vessel]

you grow outwards to inwards and it does feel like everything is compressed in my body

[topaz flame]

so.....squeeze you?

[stark vessel]

feels hard breathing heavily or having a high heart rate. plus having a hard time eating

[gentle juniper]

I just miss being under 18 because getting into fights was meaningless, now its assault

[thorn ether]

[topaz flame]

chat mom being chat mom

[gentle juniper]

Correct, but they took sib jokes to far so boop

[narrow cedar]

Man and I thought the convo i was having in dms was odd

[topaz flame]

[gentle juniper]

[honest vault]

I'm getting reminded of a guy from my HS... before he graduted or even was 18, already had 3 felony counts of arson to his name... like when he set off a dozen or so smokebombs in the school vents one day

[gentle juniper]

Had nothing like that

[carmine dome]

ohh, srry

[gentle juniper]

Juuuust a few suspensions

Bro would get in the way to stop most issues before they ignited.

[topaz flame]

we had some body think that recreating the big bang on a bus was a good idea

he went to jail

prison actually

[gentle juniper]

Jesus

[topaz flame]

yeah well

[honest vault]

ya, the guy I knew, his second count involved stealing a few cases of rubber cement and then coating/igniting an empty school bus.

[gentle juniper]

Only had fights when a kid threw rocks at our autistic cousin, 2nd was a class idiot making Alabama jokes about us...

[topaz flame]

yeahh, some say its for attention

[frail otter]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hip-hop-breakdance-YK14opQGpr9wA

[gentle juniper]

Well he definitely got it

[topaz flame]

i hate that

[slim kraken]

One dude in HS started hating me, just cause I started dating one of his main targets as a bully. Naturally I became his new target

Made up a lie about how I trash talked his dad so he could feel justified in beating me up

Coulda charged him for assault and like an idiot I did not

[topaz flame]

some kid spit in my face and i walked around with spit on my face for 20 mins telling his freinds hes a loser and everybody thought i lost my shit

[gentle juniper]

Didn't wipe it off 1st?

[topaz flame]

nope

[median atlas]

Thats gotta be one of the worst justifications for being a bully

[slim kraken]

Not beating the daddy issue allegations

Want to beat the shit outta me? Buy me dinner first

[topaz flame]

dude was afraid of being in the halls with me with little people around

just keep them guessing, i guess

[gentle juniper]

Oh, haa I remembered something, my brother was doing a joke thing on the monkey bars to a girl he was friends with, like don't walk under me or I'll spit on youuu

Turns out she was into it
Does tattoos now.

[forest cosmos]

thats a power move right there

[near topaz]

So my friend is watching epic rap battles of history and I zoned out for a bit and when I looked back apparently the darth Vader vs mustache man one started and I was REELING for like 10 seconds from shock at the opening 💀

Dragons is fun, both Tiamat and ur dragon

[gentle juniper]

Looking back at things sometimes I wonder just how smart dogs really are, we had a old dog..husky shepherd mix, on meds and a white hair all over his muzzle n paws, he would walk into the room, stand and all of a sudden the room was full of toxic gas, all of us would run out or gag at the smell and he would be by the door like laughing as he walked out

[topaz flame]

my dog would punch me

Back pain sucks

[gentle juniper]

Cards remind me of another stupid story, had a kid back in like 4th grade make fun of how poor we were since we never had Pokémon or Yugi cards so one time we found like a Indian market and it had all the bootleg cards and the Egyptian god cards for like 5$ so we got a bunch and ironically used them at school on the kid who poked fun wanted us to face him at lunch then got so mad he cried when we used the fake cards as real

what a convenient excuse

[near topaz]

Yeah I saw that, and honestly it’s such a minor issue

[forest cosmos]

they just so happen to say that after it was pointed out

lol

[near topaz]

Game’s been in development for years now, it’s extremely likely it’s the same situation E33 had where Gen ai had just come out and they were experimenting with it and it slipped through the cracks later on in development

They apologized and as far as I know have either already fixed it or will soon, and it was a very small thing in the game anyways

No need to throw shit at the walls over it 🤷‍♂️

(Not talking about yall, just the reactions I’ve seen elsewhere)

We’re probably gonna see that be a recurring issue for at least a couple more larger games that had their earlier development in the time frame that Gen AI had just come out to the public

i hope he’s doing ok

it worries me

[near topaz]

Probably isn’t, but he’ll hopefully recover in time

[subtle lance]

yea
i wish the devs did more than a post, like maybe a charity stream, but also stuff like that is hard to co-ordinate and idk what the internal politics of the studio is like
maybe something planned in the future?
at least they didn't brush it under the rug; they said they would monitor it, so maybe they reached out to him privately?

[near topaz]

Honestly the best thing would have been them quietly helping him out, cause if they made any kind of further statement or official aid, he’d just get attacked even further

But we’ll never know if they did anything behind the scenes or not obviously

Just like the drama with Thor, the sooner his name fades from the internet hate boners, the sooner his life will recover

[subtle lance]

the internet made it so that those who shout vehemence, so to speak, now have a much larger audience and can congregate, and those who are calm about things just don't speak up, so forums get filled with vile rhetoric unless it's actively regulated
there is a study for this, but i don't want to find it honestly, i don't have it saved, i just know it exists

[near topaz]

Wild shit on the other hand 💀

[novel horizon]

its always hot. the high humidity makes it worse

[forest cosmos]

he sure likes to @ famous people lol

[near topaz]

Istg everyone who says “ai will be in every game” are some of the most idiotic out there atm. There are constantly small dev and teams publicly denouncing its usage in any of their games

[lilac hill]

This might be a hot take, but I'm going to say if you are a CEO or VP at a major software company like Blizzard or Microsoft, you had exactly jack shit to do with "building" any product your company has made.

[subtle lance]

thor's case is interesting to me: he has effectively been ingrained in the public consciousness as "the first second generation blizzard employee" & associated things
and honestly, the channel ran so many shorts that start off w/ 'i worked at blizzard' as the premise, it was good setup for it to backfire

[subtle lance]

no source to be cited for that, im not doing surveys on public opinion

[near topaz]

Yeah Thor’s drama was wild, especially since he didn’t back down like basically everyone does when the drama inevitably happens

[forest cosmos]

imma be honest i dont enjoy thor’s content im simply here cause yall are cool af and this is imo the chillest community

[near topaz]

And good on him, he had every right to fight back, even though I’m sure he knew as well as I how it would just fan the flames since you can’t reason with idiots

[near topaz]

Totally fair

[subtle lance]

fair
honestly the best reason to be in here

[forest cosmos]

[near topaz]

In his defense, that is the kind of community he’s wanted to foster. One that thinks for themselves, trusts but verifies, and creates a safe little corner of the internet for eachother to exist in peace at

[primal harbor]

[torn swallow]

I need to send more bread and cat vids to the mods for keeping this community a safe haven

[lilac hill]

Without getting into more spoilers.... yeah, that's close enough to accurate

[near topaz]

Awesome, can’t wait

[novel horizon]

he fought back, at first. but then stopped after he put out that one vid. That, I think, is a mistake. It would've been fine if that vid ended it, but since it didn't and he also removed vods (For a very reasonable cause, so I understand why) it has just led to more misinfo and people taking things out of context

[near topaz]

Most excited for the different endings tbh, gotta find the best one

[near topaz]

I can understand why he did tho. He may have said he was doing fine, but no way to know how he was handing it internally

[near topaz]

Cause it definitely took a toll on the mod team which are all friends of his, and everyone who publicly associates with him was attacked as well

[primal harbor]

Thats

Thats just mitosis

[near topaz]

So like I’m sure he was doing rougher than he admitted

Like zaf had to quit because of how bad the harassment was

I imagine he probably felt horrible about things like that

[shell plover]

dude . . .read this

[novel horizon]

I wish he kept those vods up. Evidence is everything in situations like this. The ones attacking thor and co. had all the clips they needed but nobody on thor's side (Friends, fans) could reasonably counter with context. The only ones that could are thor and maybe the mods. At that point, its just numbers. They were outnumbered

[near topaz]

People like that out there actively harming the LGBTQIA+ community 😭

the whole point is to spread outrage

not everything has to be about relationships and sexualized preferences

very little games gatekeep those things

[wise wedge]

You arnt my ideology! (No tail 0/10)

[primal harbor]

do allow for the option of pronouns but some people are also just h#rny for no reason when its just supposed to be a video game that moves characters through a story

[lilac hill]

Like... I'm all for LGBTQTA+++++ etc etc representation, but it has to feel natural.
I remember one scene in I think Mass Effect andromeda where you basically say "Hi" to a random NPC and they just immediately trauma dump about their issues. It wasn't a bad character or unrealistic per se, it was just really sudden and weird

[primal harbor]

thats what happens when the loudest of a community are allowed to dominate a creative goal

it feels forced

[ornate seal]

I agree. Crowbarring in LGBTQTA representation just feels like they're phoning it in, it's gotta be done right

[primal harbor]

and that reviewer is correct to an extent, its not about politics, but SO many people integrate it with politics that its turned into a social media entertainment show

[wise wedge]

Its june gay flag for our company margins time 🙃

[primal harbor]

companies seeing lgbt as a revenue oppratunity is a red flag

exactly

[near topaz]

Honestly I’m neutral about musk. Does a lot of weird shitty stuff, but also did absolute wonders for bringing back attention to space. Sure all he’s done is throw money at it, it’s the scientists and engineers doing the real work, but that takes a shit ton of money and there’s merit to him being the one funding that

[hallow sleet]

im going to be real i just laugh at the fact that he begged to be invited but got rejected

[near topaz]

I mean even if for a while it remains primarily a hobby of the ultra rich, we benefit massively from the discoveries and technological advancements made during it

[near topaz]

Man that whole thing is so convoluted I won’t touch it, cause there’s no way to know who knew and who didn’t. Sure there’s a lot of people that are safe to assume knew, but there were definitely people who didn’t, and ofc a LOT of those names across that spectrum get political fast

Distract them with cool stuff

[near topaz]

That’s about all I’m capable of doing anyways

[edgy prairie]

Doesnt always work

[hallow sleet]

Send cursed shit, make them hate the things theyre seeing on their screen instead of their lives

[near topaz]

Big example on this though is ever since making the ISS up in space, medical science has made unfathomable leaps and bounds. The MRI machine being a particularly notable example

[wise wedge]

[near topaz]

Like imagine if we didn’t have MRIs today

[hallow sleet]

Send something so absurd they can't help but acknowledge it

[near topaz]

Shock is particularly effective with situations such as panic attacks

[edgy prairie]

Thats genius

[hallow sleet]

Also scorch and monarch best titans

[near topaz]

Saying something so absolutely out of pocket their mind stops everything and goes “what-“

[edgy prairie]

Usually the BEST method ive done to help someone whos feeling incredibly down

Is just like

Asking them about something I know they really like lol

[hallow sleet]

This honestly works more than you think

[edgy prairie]

Ask them to tell me all the albums from their favorite band

Their favorite horse women

[near topaz]

Like I said, it is a very notably effectively method of helping people out of panic attacks

[edgy prairie]

Most underrated song

Etc etc

It works really well

[near topaz]

It forces the mind to kind of reset its thought

[edgy prairie]

Unfortunately not always applicable

[hallow sleet]

Ive been dooming then bro will say some out of pocket shit then I just go "wait wtf?"

[edgy prairie]

Lolol

Sometimes its a more serious matter

Not a panic attack

But just someone feeling incredibly depressed

I wish I knew how to make people feel better

[near topaz]

I haven’t tried it yet but one day imma find someone going through it and just brain blast them with the entirety of oneshot’s story and lore

[edgy prairie]

I wish I knew how say the right stuff

[near topaz]

It’ll work, trust

[hallow sleet]

Works there too

[edgy prairie]

This situation not really

Would just seem very inappropriate for the situation

Man im struggling with so many things myself

I hate myself, feel depressed, canceled like all my weekend plans with friends because I was just so done with everything and needed to lay in bed

[gentle juniper]

Ai all the things till we make a profit

[stark vessel]

the point was for grammar not just spell checking, but they overdid it I guess

[near topaz]

It poisoned every aspect of it to the point where its borderline unusable

With it randomly hallucinating shit, even if just occasionally, that ruins all credibility

Oh also one fun thing I’ve learned is that once you play oneshot, you start seeing Niko EVERYWHERE

[gentle juniper]

Does give me a thought

If Thor is ai
And ai bubbles pops

What happens to Thor?

[near topaz]

Like istg after playing it, I see someone with a Niko pfp in nearly every comment section and then replies to them calling out the niko pfp

Oh also this happened apparently

My stomach hurts >.<

[gentle juniper]

Ai in a nutshell

A mess

[frail otter]

no. thats magic the gathering arena and its code that was made before ai

not ai. so much worse and much dumber

[gentle juniper]

That or league

[frail otter]

league isnt plagued with bugs

the bugs and exploits in league get dealt with immediately.

except for the crap pathing

[gentle juniper]

its joke

[frail otter]

that was always bad but its the salesmans route

[frail otter]

had a game in arena where it had been a long pitched battle and i finally had enough mana for 2 spells and the auto tap instead of using 6 lands used 4 and tapped my artifact. it did it backwards of its own programming

made me very upset

[gentle juniper]

Never played, I asked a few friends and they screamed to run away and never look back

[primal harbor]

im playing terraria

[near topaz]

Can’t wait to play 2 of the mods sometime, think one was called frost side or something similar and I can’t recall the other atm

[primal harbor]

[hallow sleet]

Scorch is about to be my new favorite titan

I love melting the enemy with copious amounts of thermite

[left swift]

Damn bros

[torn swallow]

Ive heard of frost side but havent dabbled in it yet
Just remembered the two mods ive played once before
Its was fading memory and equinox

[left swift]

The gas at work is $5.30

[near topaz]

Yeah fading memory is the other one I wanna do

[left swift]

I think I might toss my girlfriend an extra hundred with the rent for gas

This is so bad

[torn swallow]

From what ive seen from the steam announcements, the development has slowed down which bums me a bit

[gentle juniper]

Going to be a long summer

[primal harbor]

holy

[near topaz]

Like I doubt it’ll be a margin of the strange announcement because of the emphasis on oneshot and the 9th anniversary of the solstice being added, so feel it’s safe to assume it’s about oneshot, but wonder what the heck it could possibly be

[primal harbor]

Its a high of $3.66 for me

[near topaz]

3.69$ here for regular

[torn swallow]

@near topaz About the mod which had all the AU nikos, heres the mod
https://kittehcreations.com/?a=1#equinox

[primal harbor]

Why did my gas go up $0.91 but my pay did not?

[near topaz]

Thx I’ll check it out

[primal harbor]

Time for revolution

[torn swallow]

Im not gonna say exactly but the reason is politics

[primal harbor]

mmm

well

at least my tax return covers the next 4 weeks of gas

Actually

Let me do the math

[primal harbor]

so

my commute is pretty short anyways

i fill up maybe 2.9 times a month

which means total gas has gone up for me about $2.66/month

[near topaz]

I fill up once every other day

;-;

[primal harbor]

WTH

[near topaz]

DoorDash

[primal harbor]

HOW

WHY

oh

[near topaz]

I drive about 200ish miles per day

[primal harbor]

holy

how many tires do you go through

[near topaz]

I do get great mileage tho which is nice, 28ish mpg

And none so far, tires last a while

[primal harbor]

I get 30.5mpg

[near topaz]

And since the oil is full synthetic it lasts a long time as well

[primal harbor]

my tank is like 11 gal tho

i have a service check in in 10 days

[near topaz]

Tho I just hit 90k miles, so need to get my transmission fluid checked out and then maybe a good check under the hood on all my hoses and belts

90k is a bit of a major milestone

[primal harbor]

i hit 25,000 (6k personally, pre-owned car) just last week

[near topaz]

-# then I’ve also gotta replace my rear bumper, which since I’m doing myself is only gonna be around 200$ but still sucks to have to do

[fast isle]

:3

[near topaz]

Once you get closer to 30k I’d go ahead and schedule for air filter and fuel filter, or just replace em yourself if you know how ig

Can look up the recommended 30k stuff if you want tho

Every 30, 60, and 90 are big ones

[primal harbor]

yup

[near topaz]

Used to just think oil and brakes were really it, but if you want your car to really last a million+ miles, you gotta keep a LOT of stuff in mind

Basically everything that isn’t metal gets replaced over time

[primal harbor]

my car is a 2023 Hyundai Elantra

[near topaz]

Damn that’s nice

[primal harbor]

it is nice

i got it for $19,999 for 19,995mi

[near topaz]

Woah that’s a good deal

[primal harbor]

clean fax

no wreaks

[clear needle]

I wonder what Thog is doing without his pc

[near topaz]

Got my 2014 Nissan Sentra a couple months ago for like 10k-ish with 85k miles on it

[primal harbor]

sentras last

[near topaz]

So that 28-30mpg is honestly kinda insane

[primal harbor]

same with civics and pretty much every toyota

I trust toyota transmissions with my life

[near topaz]

Only worry is the transmission which are known to have issues around 70k+ miles, so keeping an eye on that. Got super lucky and got a warranty on my entire powertrain for like 60k miles, so I should get a free transmission when it goes

[primal harbor]

they have 30 years experience making their own

[frail otter]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkekWD5K/ chuck was a great one

[primal harbor]

ford and chevy still outsource their enginerring for their transmissions

which is wild to me

and since KIA got eaten by Hyundai

[near topaz]

Hyundai seems nice, it’s where I got my Sentra from

The dealership is hella nice

I feel too poor to go there

[primal harbor]

we may see them also transition to the same in house for transmissions

at least autos

[primal harbor]

DUDE SAME

I FEEL OUT OF MY TAX BRACKET GOING THERE

they are so kind

and helpfull

[near topaz]

Their garage is so cool. They have like a massive window into it and it’s so good looking

Like to work in that garage would be so cool

[primal harbor]

dude saved me money when going through the warrenty stuff

[novel horizon]

Chat... Its so hot. I can barely think...

[primal harbor]

I have 100,000mi full coverage on my car

as a pre-owned

which is insane

[novel horizon]

I cant get any work done ;-;

[primal harbor]

ive barely driven it too

compared to living 20 miles closer to my mom

im only 6 miles to work instead of 23

[fast isle]

chat can drive? I thought the goblins just teleported Lol

[primal harbor]

which helps

[edgy prairie]

https://youtu.be/p8FA25a22dQ?si=CLmH_LIek3JKXH9I

[fast isle]

joke aside, why do miles matter on a car?

cause im confused lol

[primal harbor]

well

miles = wear & tear

the more the milage the more the wear & tear

which means if you are looking at two different cars:
truck with 250K mi
car with 34k mi
there are a couple of safe assumptions you can make

given any additional info

like how good of the owner was to the vehicle

how many oil changes, filters, etc

[fast isle]

gotcha

[primal harbor]

a truck with 250K mi from 2010 doesnt mean its a bad truck

it just means the previous owner resisted buying a NEW truck for that long and maybe the previous owner said
"well i spent 2k-4k on replacing the transmission, and around 1.5k total on rotors and air conditioning and a drive belt"

[fast isle]

whats a drive belt lol

(I dont drive)

or know anything about cars

[primal harbor]

at that point finding a truck like that for less than $12k isnt terrible

[outer kiln]

my mic boom arm came loose from where it was tightened on my desk and I thought it was broken at first, but nah just needed to be readjusted

[novel horizon]

The drive belt connects one part of the engine to another to make sure they're in sync

Literally a belt of rubber or chain that wraps around the gears

[primal harbor]

drive belt is a felxible rubber belt that transfers rotational power from the engine's crankshaft to various things like the air fake intake for pushing cold air into the cabin or just air in general

[outer kiln]

if it snaps it can cause problems

[primal harbor]

also connects to the steering pump

[novel horizon]

There was a technology connections vid on this just the other dag

I also do not drive

[primal harbor]

modern vehicles usually only have 1 belt that connects to everything

[fast isle]

oh nice

[primal harbor]

some older vehicles from like 09 have two sometimes three

[novel horizon]

All i know is that its imporyant

[primal harbor]

also

really cool

the belt also charges your battery

so yeah when you break you get power back into your battery

vehicles are neat

speaking of

[fast isle]

so basically, car go brrr

[primal harbor]

i need to find my battery

im gonna buy cameras soon

[fast isle]

nice

Haven't played since cryo launched tho

Didn't enjoy getting seal clubbed by sweats

I also suck too much to run solos

And don't have a solid team to run with cus my disability and being bad at the game makes me less than favourable over someone who can talk
