You can only do notes on other people's profiles.

Steam Deck Oled 512GB for 400€, steal or not steal?

[long summit]

Pretty good, you can upgrade the storage later and still would be a good deal

[vagrant pike]

Bargained down to 350€ lol

[vagrant pike]

Fingers crossed I aint getting scammed

I love my steam deck, but I broke a piece at some point that I had to fix… which was one of the only parts ifixit didn’t sell (atleast at the time)

So yeah

But icl, I don’t know how tf I broke the trigger button on the daughter board off

[zenith mauve]

The largest known prime number to date is 2^136,279,841 - 1, also known as M136279841. This number, discovered in October 2024 by Luke Durant, a former NVIDIA employee, has approximately 41 million digits. To identify it, Durant used the computing power of thousands of graphics processors spread across 24 data centers located in 17 different countries.

[light scaffold]

yeah

[unreal venture]

I agree

[light scaffold]

so true

[blazing oar]

tf

[full atlas]

Not enough games that I play are directly compatible with the steamdeck. I play counter strike on it but very rarely. (It's not compatible according to steam but still works 🤷)

Other then that I dual boot with windows 11 and attempt to play cod black ops 1 campaign.

[proper jungle]

u play CS on steamdeck? o-o

[mellow zinc]

no wonder my teammates dont have hands on cs

[olive mica]

does anyone know any freelancer discords like devroom its alterntives?

[twin dune]

DevRoom 🤢

[olive mica]

re read

alterntives to dev room

[twin dune]

Just saying DevRoom is bad, not recommending it haha.

Literally go on BuiltByBit and you'll find a million and one service teams.

[full atlas]

Just death match. The controls are fucking horrible

[magic summit]

@willow saffron Is there any repo to look at for this plugin?

[uncut oxide]

Hello! and introduce yourself

[olive mica]

o fr alr

[olive mica]

ye ik

[frank pasture]

do you plan to steamlink to your pc? or just run games off it

I saw a vid earlier of someone using steamlink with it to play maxed out cyberpunk, so cool tbh

[vagrant pike]

probably Optimum

I watched his vid too

[vagrant pike]

yea, a bit of this and that

[frank pasture]

yep 😂 how funny

i saw his video and thought woah

I tried SteamLink yesterday (I don't have a deck) and I was blown away by how good it was

[vagrant pike]

the stream thing is probably the closest thing to geforce now, except you don't have the deck itself

[frank pasture]

yeah

Its great after a days work, the least you want to do is still be sat at the desk

[vagrant pike]

why sit on a chair when you can sit on a couch 😎

[frank pasture]

exactly

[vagrant pike]

honestly I am kind of second guessing whether I should get it

though 512GB OLED for 350€ seems like a great deal

[frank pasture]

id get it from somewhere with a return policy if you're worried

I've been running steamlink on my vision pro with a controller 😂

[vagrant pike]

yeah I am currently looking at used ones, way cheaper

though no warranty and no returns

even then, not sure if I can justify the purchase and I don't know how much really I would use it

[frank pasture]

do you play games much on your pc atm?

[vagrant pike]

not a lot, really
currently Skyrim and league here and there

[frank pasture]

its annoying for me as i only play fortnite

and its not on steam

so i cant use steamlink 😂

[vagrant pike]

I don't really play much after work, rest of the day is with my wife and kid

maybe sneak 30 minutes or so during work hours and when the kid sleeps at night for couple of hours lol

[vagrant pike]

EpicDeck when

[frank pasture]

good thing to tell the wife, "ill brb in 30 minutes" 😂

[vagrant pike]

and then you hear "where are you" after 10 minutes

[frank pasture]

LOL

[vagrant pike]

but yeah not having to sit at your desk is a big plus, I could just be downstairs and just put it down in case of something lol

[frank pasture]

Also makes you more social as you’re with everyone

[naive agate]

Hahahahah Charlie what a pfp @frank pasture

[frank pasture]

😂 rofl, only temp but wanted something funny

[naive agate]

Haha

How are they

[frank pasture]

got my scuba mask on for the pic

[naive agate]

🤣🤣🤣

[frank pasture]

and tbh, ive been using the virtual display thing for work and its dope, but the 3d content is next level\

[naive agate]

I think it’s gonna be dope for game designing

[frank pasture]

gonna rent and watch a 3d movie later and see how it is, but I watched "The Weeknd"'s music video yesterday in 3d and it was insane

Felt like I was there tbh

[naive agate]

Ooo tell me when you do

[frank pasture]

I played GTA5 on it yesterday 😂

lemme get the vid

[naive agate]

Haha 🤣

[frank pasture]

Using SteamLink 😂

But yeah 3d content on this is breathtaking, seeing it in 2d doesn’t do it justice. I defo recommend going to an Apple Store and trying a demo, that’s what persuaded me

[naive agate]

Haha looks fun

[frank pasture]

I was shocked how many movies are on Apple TV+ that support the 3D movie stuff, like Jumanji, Jurassic Park, Ready Player One, Despicable Me, etc

[naive agate]

wtf fr

bro ready player one is a must

But bro Jurassic park sounds crazy

[frank pasture]

Is that the one you'd recommend?

i havent watched it in a while

[naive agate]

Yes

I forgot 3d movies exist at this point

They use to be huge

[sterile parrot]

can't wait for them to release the vision pro in my country

[naive agate]

What country is that

[frank pasture]

Yeah, quite blown away that so many movies are supported

[sterile parrot]

netherlands

[naive agate]

Fr they don’t got them yet?

[sterile parrot]

nope

[frank pasture]

It only came to UK a few months ago

[naive agate]

oh wow

[sterile parrot]

almost no countries in europe besides like germany and a few others

[naive agate]

lol 😂

weird

[frank pasture]

I defo think that YouTube demos of it doesn't do it justice, I went from not wanting one to trying a free demo, to ending up buying one that day 😂

[sterile parrot]

i'd buy it in germany but I really want applecare and that won't work when activating in diff country

[frank pasture]

Yeah same, too expensive not to get Apple Care lol

[naive agate]

Ye you def need the AppleCare

[sterile parrot]

practically always buy applecare

[naive agate]

Ye for new products especially

[sterile parrot]

only ever needed to use for airpods max, which i've had to replace 3 times lol

[frank pasture]

The ultrawide thing is so cool too

[naive agate]

jeez

[frank pasture]

i was using it for work earlier

[sterile parrot]

yeah I mostly want to use it for work

so taking the vat off for sure lol

[frank pasture]

I was using the other headband for a while, now switched back to try the original one

[frank pasture]

Hahaha so clever

[sterile parrot]

have you tried those custom headbands with the extra strap on the top

basically the original strap but with one on the top as well

[frank pasture]

But yeah the in store demos are insane, prior to the demo I was like eh I don’t see the hype, it looks mid from the YouTube videos I’ve seen.

Then tried their demo where they have like the NBA courtside and shit and it looks like you’re there

[frank pasture]

I’ve heard about this 😮

I haven’t actually looked but did hear of them

[sterile parrot]

yeah crazy

yeah think i'd need those since i'd be wearing it all day long

only taking it off for meetings probably lmao

[frank pasture]

The only frustration is sharing it with others is a pain, you enable guest mode, and then you can’t always see what they see, so explaining it is such a pain

But I had family use it on Sunday and they went from not wanting to try it, to “I want one” 😂

[sterile parrot]

yeah they need to add better support for that

[frank pasture]

They have some mirroring thing you can use bur doesn’t always work

[sterile parrot]

yeah saw that on the reviews

[twin dune]

Are those £10 notes used as a coaster? 🤣

[frank pasture]

Normally use £50’s, nah joking, just the only cash I had as I never carry cash 😂

[vagrant pike]

I see some people using virtual displays for work and what not, but I don't see myself sitting with VR Glasses 9 to 5

I feel like my eyes would burn after end of the day

[naive agate]

what did I just watch in #showcase

[vagrant pike]

Does the logo look good?

I'd love to buy VR glasses, but the price, for me at least, is still to high to justify the purchase
Also wouldn't want it collecting dust if I wouldn't use it as much

[full atlas]

Anyone try AR yet? I was looking at the XReal ones but kinda pricey.

[willow saffron]

i havent put it online anywhere yet

The book is so much better IMO. Movie is the only one i've ever seen in IMAX 3D. Highly recommend reading it

Unrelated - Anyone got any 4k/1440p monitor recomendations? Not looking to spend too much, preferably less than $300

Current monitor i'm looking to get something next to - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JGL19WK

[fierce goblet]

@lost igloo

Are you still lookin for a Script Writer?

[young mortar]

I have three of these and they are superb. Also -38% off right now, it seems! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YGZL8XF

1440p, 144hz, GSYNC, 1ms response time, IPS, it's basically everything i could ever want

[trim raft]

tyvm, looks very nice I like that the stand isn't a flat base too

[young mortar]

oh yeah the stands are great, they kinda slot into the back of the monitor and use the weight to adjust, 10/10

and lots more room on your desk for shit, superb purchase i must say lol

[trim raft]

How is the brightness?

[young mortar]

well I play in a very dark room usually, so i've had no issue, i keep them all at 80/100 basically all the time

but i think they're pretty solid, and IPS means consistent brightness and viewing angles and stuff

[naive agate]

@wraith current please remove the sticker

[wraith current]

Nooo sticker!

though no amazon jungle here

[sterile parrot]

damn that’s cheap 184$ for a monitor

a good monitor*

[young mortar]

yeah I paid a full $300 per lol

over the course of a few weeks to be fair, but still

[vagrant pike]

if I buy it over the span of multiple days/weeks then it's cheaper than all at once 😎

[sterile parrot]

I just bought one expensive ultra wide one

[naive agate]

[twin dune]

[vagrant pike]

anyone had experience with LG 27GS85Q-B?

[mellow zinc]

bruh how is it so cheap wtf

i paid double for the older version of that model

love my LG monitor anyways, would recommend

[vagrant pike]

yeah I am currently looking at it for around 215€

I was wondering why is it so cheap, can't find any reviews on it

this seems concerning

[mellow zinc]

ive just read somewhere else they had very bad backlight bleed also lol

its more common on IPS panels though, so its expected somewhat

[vagrant pike]

this just seems like panel lottery tho

[mellow zinc]

yeah true

it seems to be cheap to me, probably using a worse panel

i personally wouldnt get it especially when theres literally like 0 reviews on this

[vagrant pike]

https://youtu.be/1VdscQ8QCkY?si=JBRbmFpwgx7vp_Zk
John Hammond did a vid on it lol

[vagrant pike]

yeah I am still thinking about it, but all other "viable" options are either out of my budget or just bad

[mellow zinc]

depends on how much messing around u wanna do but i suppose u could always return it if its no good

[vagrant pike]

Its kind of weird how they do their quality control then, like why would this even get on the hands of a consumer

[vagrant pike]

yeah, thats the plan at least lol

[solar sinew]

no, the pin in #1323802935934845069 which is mentioned to be read at the top of the channel explains what you need to know

[vagrant pike]

pulled the trigger on it, hope I win the panel lottery lol

[twin dune]

God I hate when negative nancys appear out of no-where having never contacted support about their troubles.

This dude sounds like a guy who runs pure default configs for his server as well.

[vagrant pike]

brody expects the plugin to come with pre-configured shop with every possible item in the game

[vagrant pike]

most likely

[twin dune]

Most of the non-5-star reviews tend to be about that lol... I can't imagine playing on, let alone managing a server, where every item is sellable.

Those same people often complain, in reviews, as if they have to configure the items multiple times from scratch when it's a one-and-done process.

...also note those people inflict those pain points on themselves, average server owners do a moderate amount of items and use player driven economies for the rest.

[vagrant pike]

the server I worked for had a shop with plenty, but not nearly all items and had an auction plugin, so that checks out

[twin dune]

Out of curiosity, as a somewhat outsider to the plugin, do these docs look "lacking" to you?
https://docs.brcdev.net/#/

For context, this is what the very first 7 lines of the config.yml are:

#
# See our Wiki for ShopGUI+ at the link below:
# https://docs.brcdev.net/ -> Both 'General' & 'ShopGUI+' Sections are for ShopGUI+
#
# Is this your first time using ShopGUI+? Start here:
# https://docs.brcdev.net/#/shopgui/shops-items-setup
#

^ has been since Oct 2024

[vagrant pike]

idk, anything can be improved one way or another, but seems to have everything needed to properly configure the plugin

honestly skill issue if those are not enough for one

[chrome lotus]

hi

[vagrant pike]

anyone had this issue with minecraft where cpu and gpu are underutilized but still lagging?

[kind sorrel]

That could still mean everything

[long jasper]

Im making a 2.0 version of this plugin #showcase message
to make it even more customizable (splitting and combining placeholders, adding math to placeholders and etc..) and so far its a pain to implement, i might recode the entire plugin but still keep the legacy config style and add a new config style for more customizability

[unreal venture]

deluxemenus all the way 💀

[blazing oar]

deserved

using spigotmc deserves such reviews

🙂

[twin dune]

Live laugh love Spigot. Crazy how all the reviews before him praise the outstanding support and quick response times... yet this guy goes 'non-existent dev' having never contacted support.

I suspect he Spigot DM'ed BRC and ignored BRC's auto-response which says 'join the discord'.

[strange estuary]

To be honest, this is why I dislike what the Minecraft "marketplace" meta has become

Everyone expects the default configs to be plug 'n play (thanks to setups, though tbh it's been a problem even before setups, setups just made it worse) and 24/7 support with a dedicated team to help

People expect to download a plugin and it just works like a setup, right out of the box 0 effort needed

I wish setups were used differently. Not as an out of the box server, but rather a base server for you to work on and make your own

Unfortunately not many people use setups that way lol, or they do but barely make changes, just branding changes

[twin dune]

It's another reason I've kept putting off adding a GUI editor... just promotes laziness imo.

[strange estuary]

I cannot stand GUI editors

Ease of use? Definitely. Sucky for experienced configurators? Always. (at least for me)

[twin dune]

Yeah, it's just slows you down massively when you can copy-paste a section of config easily.

[strange estuary]

That's why I avoid crate work even though so many people need them, ExcellentCrates is just a painfully slow reward process

[twin dune]

But for an initial base, it's good but I know 100% that the idiots who want it will expect it to do the job fully and expect to never have to touch the yaml.

[strange estuary]

And the config file that handles rewards handles them really weird, it like encrypts the items (I get that's how it stores NBT, but it sucks 😭)

Yeah

Dunno, I wish people realized it's actually easier to use a file than a GUI, chat input, etc

you get all the file editor tools, e.g. ctrl+f lifesaver, and you don't gotta worry about making a mistake and having to go through submenus again or whatever else happens

[lime torrent]

110%

Especially when working out of a 3k line config

(Damn I hate crates)

[strange estuary]

Exactly 😭

Me too...

[lime torrent]

That’s why my admins do the configs for those

[strange estuary]

I only start not liking them if there's a ton of command prizes rather than physical prizes

Physical prizes are 10x easier with EC, very easy to get into the motion of adding a bunch

But it's still painfully slow compared to just copy and pasting them in a file

[lime torrent]

Tbh

Ours is only command prizes

So much simpler to throw together a command to handle it all for us, compared to making an item inside a config to dish out

[strange estuary]

I get why command prizes are better in case you change the items

Yeaaa

[lime torrent]

Yee

[strange estuary]

It's just more tedious for workflow

getting it setup, etc

Once it's done it's sweet

[lime torrent]

Yerp

[strange estuary]

I just had to do a bunch of virtual prizes for someone and it was like over 40 tags

Luckily they were all numbered for perms, like 1.use, 2.use, etc so I just wrote down which numbers 1-10, 11-20, etc were used for each crate

[twin dune]

Hopefully this does the trick

[strange estuary]

most times I see tag perms use the name of the tag in the perm, and that's where it gets tricky 🫠

[strange estuary]

Best of luck 🫡

[blazing oar]

no

[twin dune]

no?

[blazing oar]

the first part

I hate spigotmc with love and passion

yes

[twin dune]

Ah. 😄

[grand dirge]

m

[vagrant pike]

true that, its kind of weird, at times its smooth as butter, then randomly the frames start to drop, seems like alt-tabbing out and back into the game kinda "helps"

[magic summit]

Yeah, I blame BBB for that a lot

The number of times I see warnings, errors, etc. in server logs about ItemsAdder, ModelEngine and MythicMobs makes me think they bought or downloaded some presets for maxium lazynes

[young mortar]

Oh trust me, it's real easy to get MMOItems/MythicMobs/ModelEngine errors without really doing anything

Since it's all just a string, it doesn't give you any error handling or syntax highlighting or warnings or anything, so if a scenario occurs on the live server that you didn't test, it'll just error, and likely go unnoticed for a long long time

[magic summit]

The fact MythicMobs still uses STDOUT is also kinda dsiappointing

[strange estuary]

What's crazy to me is people I talk to don't realize IA/Nexo/Oraxen don't do anything vanilla can't do

It just simplifies and condenses it xD

[magic summit]

pretty much yeah

[strange estuary]

I know not everyone likes the font, but man I absolutely love the way it looks on scoreboards 🙏

Hello everyone.

[rigid yacht]

Hello, @eternal apex, sorry for the ping!

I have been making my expansion for a long time, I hope it will be useful for many, and I would like to apply for verification!

Link: https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/textbeautifier/
Source code: https://github.com/itargetds/TextBeautifier

[magic summit]

Lil feedback: It's Minecraft, not MineCraft 😉

Also, this is kinda misleading and makes it seem like the PAPI team works on this expansion

Also....

• Why have a specific placeholder for other placeholders? Why even have an entire PlaceholderUtil?
  You can just call PlaceholderAPI.setBracketPlaceholders(player, text) and it would parse any {placeholder_value} found in the text.
• Not sure if there would be any difference in performance, but doing an Array.stream at the start could be avoided by simply applying a max limit to split (params.split("_", 3) would limit the max number of splits to three)
• A switch should be considered instead of a long if-else chain.

Just the things I noticed the most.

[rigid yacht]

Oops, sorry

[rigid yacht]

so.. after these fixes i can get verification?

[magic summit]

Don't ask me. I'm not HelpChat staff. But eventually someone will take a look

[rigid yacht]

Hopefully I win the panel lottery lol

is modrinth 404'ing only for me lol

[frank pasture]

Probably another Modrinth server hack /s

[unreal venture]

the world is healing, i m down ~400 menus

look at this silly upgradable system i did

[twin dune]

@simple granite CoreProtect isn't abandoned as far as I'm aware, so why do you need someone to update it?

[winter compass]

wackenzie!

[twin dune]

Hi.

[vagrant pike]

yeah lol it was updated to 1.21.4 since december
https://www.patreon.com/posts/117654146

[twin dune]

I think this guy blocked me (as his profile returns a 404 now)... after my simple SpigotMC Message & profile post. I got no response. :/

Hmm.... actually, I think he has privated his profile. tf

[vagrant pike]

lol

[twin dune]

imo I think Private Profiles are the stupidest thing on SpigotMC especially when you can leave reviews. Reviews should be able to be followed up on, of course I'd be happy for users to decline a follow up but atleast have something where you can get acknowledgement that they've seen your request for follow-up.

[rigid yacht]

@eternal apex

Can you check my expansion?

I fixed all the problems that Andre_601 posted!

Sorry for the ping!

[simple granite]

I didn't see the latest release is on patreon, thanks

but the source is latest, yes?

CoreProtect Edge v23.2

[proper jungle]

Stupidest thing is not allowing to publish premium paper plugins

[rigid yacht]

As I understand it, admins are not involved in verification. Maybe you can help, @mellow wedge ?

[twin dune]

@kind anchor Please provide more details... like what kind of bot you are looking to have made. 😔 (eg. what is a dm bot)

[wary willow]

@rigid yacht I have reviewed your expansion and I have a few concerns:

1. The font-replacer part of the expansion can be done by at least 1 other verified expansion: "string".
2. The code seems very inconsistent from function to function
3. You bundle the Bungee API which I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do.
4. I've even found a possible cause of ConcurrentModificationException being thrown: StyleUtils Line 70. You remove the style from the list while looping trough it.

Have you tested your expansion?

[rigid yacht]

1. My expansion is aimed specifically at the convenience of admins, so that they can make beautiful fonts without unnecessary manipulation. I think my expansion is in a better position.

2. Can you give examples of what should be fixed?

3. This is a very convenient library. Why can't I use it and what alternatives could you suggest?

[wary willow]

I gave you an exact example at point 4 of a possible bug

And at point 2

[rigid yacht]

Regarding point 1, should I remove FontUtils?

[rigid yacht]

And, can i use bungee api? Simply, this library will support almost all popular versions of Minecraft (1.8-1.21). And if you use analogues, for example "kyori-minimessage", then this library supports few versions.

[wary willow]

That's not a good reason to not verify your expansion so you can keep it. It was just a note in case you were not aware.

[wary willow]

You can use the Bungee API. You are not supposed to shade it though

[rigid yacht]

thank you for your reply, I will try to fulfill your requirements as best as possible

[pulsar sun]

this is allowed?
#1323802935934845069 message

[wary willow]

No. Took it down

[strange estuary]

I know this has nothing to do with it, but I tried your expansion, and I think it could use PAPI nesting, that way you can beautify placeholders easily

Like yeah I can use utils to do that, but that's uneccasary nesting, built in nesting would be sweet

[rigid yacht]

Thank you very much ❤

[rigid yacht]

I think I have corrected my mistakes. Can you please check? If everything is fine, I will upload the expansion to ecloud.

Source: https://github.com/itargetds/TextBeautifier

[wary willow]

We require both versions (GitHub and Ecloud) to be up to date. I have reviewed the GitHub version and I couldn't find anything obviously broken but it seems to me that the code is low quality, possibly even generated with AI. I will not verify this expansion.

[vagrant pike]

ChatColor.getByChar('0')

Why doesnt bro just use ChatColor.BLACK 😩

[rigid yacht]

I don't agree with this decision, I've been planning and developing this expansion for quite a long time, it sounds a bit like an insult to me. I spent many hours writing code. If you are not satisfied with something about it, then indicate specific points. I'll fix everything. This is a very useful extension, one of the feedbacks has already been provided by the server admin above. I will update the ecloud version once we approve the changes on GitHub.

[rigid yacht]

Does it bother anyone? If it is of course an important reason, then I can use ChatColor.COLOR :/

[vagrant pike]

I just dont see the point of using getByChar if you already know which enum it points to

[strange estuary]

I don't know anything about the code side of expansions, but if it makes you feel better, I thought it was handy xD

[rigid yacht]

@wary willow

[strange estuary]

Any code complaints are valid, the actual functionality of the expansion is noice tho

[rigid yacht]

I just don't understand the logic, isn't the work of the expansions more important than its code?🤕 My extension works correctly and without lags.

[strange estuary]

No, both are very important

It's cool that it works well but that doesn't mean I want it to work inefficiently

[rigid yacht]

what's wrong with the TextBeautifier code? no one liked all the code variants..

[strange estuary]

I'd like things I use in production to work as effectively as possible

[vagrant pike]

You have to understand that if people notice that their server is "lagging" and see "PlaceholderAPI" in their performance (ex. spark) report, first place where they are (most likely) are going to ask, is here (or wherever the PAPI support is)

[strange estuary]

As I said I dunno anything about the code side of it, I just think the expansion in general is a good idea, but the code complains are valid, if something isn't efficient it should definitely be fixed up for release

Yeah, typically official expansions are ones that run as efficient as possible while also being "perfected"

[vagrant pike]

that aside, people are trying to help you write more efficient and, in general, "better" code, which will benefit you in the future

obviously there is not a lot to change/improve, since the expansion isn't very big on its own

[rigid yacht]

I have tested the extension many times. Recent checks have shown that there is no load on the server (even using many of my placeholders). I use caching.

[rigid yacht]

I changed the code to suit the needs of the moderators, what is wrong with the code now..🙁

[vagrant pike]

I'm not saying it's bad and/or it will lag, just giving an example.

[vagrant pike]

idk, I'm sure it works, but there's always something to improve, make it more readable, etc.

[light glen]

hello guys!

[grand dirge]

he's asking for a user bot that sends dm to people in a server prolly to scam ppl lol

[naive agate]

not allowed

[rigid yacht]

Hi @wary willow !

I have uploaded NEW version 1.5 to ecloud and github (they are the same).

1) I wrote this code myself!!
2) I also made it readable!
3) I checked its functionality many times, everything is fine.

I will be very glad if you check and verify this expansion! ❤

People really need this expansion for their servers. Even some people wrote it in the chat.

Link: https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/textbeautifier/
Source code: https://github.com/itargetds/TextBeautifier

[vagrant pike]

So you have utility class "Others", which should probably be named something like "GeneralUtil" and there is a static variable IS_MODERN_VERSION which is just "true" and I would assume isModernVersion method is unused

[young mortar]

looks like they use that method and swap it to false in their expansion register() method

[rigid yacht]

isModernVersion I created to edit IS_MODERN_VERSION in the TextBeautifier class in the register method. I just don't want to use the method a couple of times in one :d

[rigid yacht]

and I made it true right away, because, let's say that the register method does not work somewhere, then IS_MODERN_VERSION will be False and some functions will not work.

[fast flint]

Anyone know where to hire reliable hq designer for server artworks?

[snow shore]

@rough drift add me rq pretty please

[vagrant pike]

I suppose thats one way of doing it

[wary willow]

Alright. I've taken another look and I found tow more issues or inconsistencies:

• If text is formatted for the first time you append Color.RESET at the beginning and at the end of the text. If the text was cached before, you return the cached version which does not contain the RESETs.
• Hexadecimal colouring support was added in 1.16 not 1.13.

If you fix these and I don't find any other issues I am going to verify it.

[rigid yacht]

Thanks, I'll fix it asap!

[twin dune]

BRC got back to me - this 'non-existent dev' claim is utter rubbish. He never contact Discord Support or even BRC directly.

[rigid yacht]

@wary willow, I corrected my mistakes, which you showed me I have uploaded both versions to ecloud and github!

#1323802935934845069 message this guy is back again asking for a selfbot

[pulsar sun]

what we can provide is a user installed application, no selfbots

[sharp bay]

sa

[magic summit]

That shouldn't be valid for being too vague alone

[humble rivet]

@mellow imp and @jaunty hawk are double posting with different account lol

[mellow imp]

no?

.gg/zeltuv

.gg/pikzstudios

it's 2 diffrent servers

[humble rivet]

you are still zeltuv right ?

[mellow imp]

no

Zeltuv is zeltuv

i'm pikz

[humble rivet]

so you just copy his post

[mellow imp]

We work together

[urban cave]

so you are in fact doubleposting

[naive agate]

@kind anchor stop requesting that or I will be service muting you

[kind anchor]

Why bro I want to make captcha for my server members?

[naive agate]

Because your previous request was a dm spam bot

[fallow crow]

Don't being a jerk ass

[kind anchor]

Where?

[naive agate]

Who are you talking too?

[naive agate]

I’m the one who removed it you really want me to show you

[kind anchor]

it wasnt in the request

I just said dm for info

cuz it wouldnt fit

[naive agate]

lol

wanna talk about this ?

[twin dune]

Google Docs exists my friend, so does pastebins.

[kind anchor]

LOL

DM bot as in the bot that is in the server dms members

"APP" dming is fully allowed

[naive agate]

[kind anchor]

Maybe you have to ban @honest thistle too

cuz it dmd me

[naive agate]

Why wouldn’t you just announce it in your server

[kind anchor]

I mean its self explanitory

[fallow crow]

Surely not you

[naive agate]

it dmed you after you were flagged for posts

[kind anchor]

Ye but I just want smth that dms my members

its self explanitory that I wouldnt ask for a spam bot

never said spam bot

or smth

[naive agate]

It’s a loophole

[kind anchor]

I am not breaking TOS

[fallow crow]

You probably need to explain more instead only said "Make DM bot."

[kind anchor]

didnt fit but aight

[jaunty hawk]

No we aren't

I'm hiring for my own studio

he is hiring for his own

but he did infact copy

the content of my message

[obsidian horizon]

hii

[wary willow]

You are still shading the bungeecord api inside your expansion. In your pom.xml change this:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.md-5</groupId>
            <artifactId>bungeecord-chat</artifactId>
            <version>1.20-R0.1</version>
        </dependency>

to this:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.md-5</groupId>
            <artifactId>bungeecord-chat</artifactId>
            <version>1.20-R0.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

The bungeecord-api is availalbe in any spigot server so you do not need to shade it

[rigid yacht]

couple of minutes please

[rigid yacht]

@wary willow
Done! I have uploaded version 1.7 to ecloud and github!

ecloud: https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/textbeautifier/

github: https://github.com/itargetds/TextBeautifier

[long jasper]

What are the best chat formatting plugins? (other than essentialsX)

[strange estuary]

Depends what you need out of it

Tbh everything nowadays is full of bloat lol

[long jasper]

something like essentials but not essentials 😭, i dont like the fact that essentials doesnt support PAPI. I saw AdvancedChats and it looks good enough but its a premium plugin :/

[strange estuary]

Could just use chat injector

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/chatinjector-1-13.81201/

[vagrant pike]

chatcontrol

/s

[magic summit]

^ Speaking of bloat

[light scaffold]

bloat?

[strange estuary]

ChatControl is just full of tons of uneeded stuff

hence "bloat"

[civic remnant]

Hello

[sullen sorrel]

although wouldn't it be better to have extra optional features even if not everyone uses them, rather than not have them at all

since it'd probably have a negligible performance impact anyways

[strange estuary]

Typically yes, but from what I've seen from CC it's beyond that point, it's just a mess

[twin dune]

I fucking hate private profiles....

Some dafty left a 1-star review reporting a simple common issue and hasn't joined the Discord.

I aught to update that message to be like '.... check startup for errors'.

[blazing oar]

@ivory sandal I think it's better to first get a hold of how the industry works before wanting a portfolio

(specially in terms of pricing)

[ivory sandal]

all i'm asking for is someone to write html css for a static webpage

for an already made design

this shouldn't cost more than like 50$

[blazing oar]

for 20 bucks lol

[ivory sandal]

i could do it myself, but i'm lazy

[ivory sandal]

so you're suggesting i should make it even higher?

[blazing oar]

then do it yourself instead of asking for almost free labor

[blazing oar]

obviously

[ivory sandal]

it's like 100 lines of html, and just a little bit of css

[blazing oar]

then do it yourself

lol

[ivory sandal]

people are also here to pick up small tasks

aswell

not just the big ones

[blazing oar]

questionable

[ivory sandal]

i don't see a reason to be against this

[blazing oar]

I don't think you have seen the amount of times people laugh when seeing prices in #1323802935934845069

[ivory sandal]

i don't really care

about who laughs

i'm just here to get something done

[blazing oar]

that is meant to point out that "small tasks" does not mean free labor

be it big or small, pricing should be reasonable

[ivory sandal]

in my opinion it's very reasonable

[blazing oar]

yeah, the guy asking for a full skyblock plugin for 5 bucks also thinks that

[ivory sandal]

lol

i'm gonna make it even lower now

1 zimbabwean dollar

is that okay/

[blazing oar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grand dirge]

[ivory sandal]

what if i'm actually not talking about 20 USD but 20 zimbabwean dollars yk

[grand dirge]

make it 1 Indonesian Rupiah

[ivory sandal]

$20 could be anything

[rigid yacht]

@wary willow, good morning!

[vagrant pike]

got my new monitor and damn

difference between 180 vs 75hz is crazy

[twin dune]

How crazy? I think I'm rocking 60hz currently.

[vagrant pike]

I mean it was pretty nice going from 60 to 75 as it is, but from 75 to 180 is like really good

everything's crazy smooth

[blazing oar]

yeah

[twin dune]

Might have to upgrade.

[twin dune]

Which monitor did you get?

[vagrant pike]

https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/gaming/27gs85q-b/

[twin dune]

That is quite the chunky back

[vagrant pike]

kinda yeh ig

all ultragear monitors are like that iirc

[twin dune]

One of my monitors is as thin as my phone... shame they don't make all monitors like that.

[vagrant pike]

my wife has Acer Nitro

some of the models are very thin too

[twin dune]

Think that might be the one I have... all I know is my model is discontinued.

[proper jungle]

gonna be me soon 😠

still no cancel sound

[proper jungle]

well thats not always doable

higher res requires cooling & such

even apple that cares abt visuals has pretty chunky monitors

the one for 8k or how much it costs

xD

the XDR

[verbal moat]

Hi

[twin dune]

As soon as these two reviews fuck off, you can get the feature.

[unreal venture]

larkyy let's go bully them

[proper jungle]

xD

[winter compass]

chicken

[twin dune]

I think I am slowly getting the same mind set now... frustrates me how ignorant and lazy users are, yet have the audacity to leave a 1-star reviews because of their inability to use ~~un~~common decency.

Can't believe I have to make this change despite the huge support banner at the top of the resource page:

[frank pasture]

I massively notice coding on a 120hz vs 60 as well, mainly why I sold my apple studio display, the 60hz hurt 😂

[magic summit]

Welcome to plugin support

[strange estuary]

It won't mitigate it

unfortunately, you can be as thorough and obvious about your support, and you will STILL get 1 stars

complaining that "there isn't support" or "plugin broken" or "plugin abandoned" or "please update" etc etc

fighting a losing battle imo lol

[tacit nova]

Honestly this won't do shit

Most of these users run servers with errors racking up in the hundreds (trust me I've seen them) they couldn't care less about a teeny tiny banner somewhere buried between all the other big ass ASCII logo art

[vagrant pike]

yeah I thought the difference wouldnt be as big, but it's really noticeable

[strange estuary]

^^

[tacit nova]

I've gotten really lucky with my plugin. I recently even had somebody reach out to me via Spigot instead of Discord, and that worked out as well!

[strange estuary]

With my plugins (made in a program.. not hand coded) that I published I also got lucky

every bad review has been handled and I still have 5 stars depsite having 7k downloads

It's all random chance, but especially if you have a big plugin out there it's gonna get hate regardless

I even had someone try to get my premium plugin with 5 downloads cracked on a cracking forum 💀

[twin dune]

Would be nice if SpigotMC offered a customisable prompt where you can link support when someone looks to public a 1-star review... just like a big button on the submit review modal which links to a support system set by the resource author, eg a Discord invite.

[proper jungle]

idc abt those reviews, thats like everywhere, but I mainly hate the fact that they dont allow selling papermc plugins. Spigot itself is literally ancient, no new features, no optimizations, no frequent patches, waiting ages for updates

[unreal venture]

it would be nice if spigotmc just shuts down

its cringe how unfriendly this platform is to the developers

[strange estuary]

Yeah I get that, but tbh you still would have a problem

People will find anything to complain about

Or something they don't like

The support reviews, can definitely be mitigated, it's just these platforms don't really give any resources to help it lol

[naive agate]

@mellow imp please fix your budget

[mellow imp]

What's wrong with my budget?

[naive agate]

0 is not proper

[mellow imp]

okok

[naive agate]

its a paid only channel

[vagrant pike]

anyone had this issue with minecraft where the game "stutters"?
feels like a frame is dropped like every 1 or 2 seconds consistently

CPU and GPU usage are pretty low

[vagrant pike]

every other game runs smoothly

[onyx talon]

Hello everyone

[blazing oar]

I have had that

do you have per chance an amd gpu/cpu?

I don't recall exactly what I did tbh

[strange estuary]

Spent way too much time hand making these icons, iOS please give us custom icons natively 😭

[lime torrent]

How long did that take?

😭

[strange estuary]

probably like 2 hours total

[lime torrent]

Looks dope tho

Bruh

[strange estuary]

which isn't bad, but that's only because I have like 0 apps

[lime torrent]

Ah

I need to clear my old apps

I got too many XD

[strange estuary]

Tyty 🙏

I honestly had a lot of fun making them

Might make some more icons for other games and themes for other people xD

[lime torrent]

I haven’t really cared bout freeing storage recently

[strange estuary]

I based mine off of some ones on Etsy but they costed $15 wasn't gonna pay $15 to get 10 pngs

[lime torrent]

Sheesh

[strange estuary]

OOF

[lime torrent]

Yeah

[strange estuary]

I just started paying the $0.99 for 50gbs of icloud lol

[lime torrent]

Fair

Iirc I pay for googles

[strange estuary]

Would have lost like, 2+ years worth of pictures otherwise

[lime torrent]

Because I have so many docs and shit already

[strange estuary]

way too much happened for me to risk that

[lime torrent]

So I only really backup contacts

Fair

[strange estuary]

Yeah fair enough, all of my drives are like full lol

[lime torrent]

Oooof

I also need to eventually delete old emails of mine

I have like 30, most of which aren’t used

I use maybe 3

[strange estuary]

I have probably 8

and use about 2

[lime torrent]

Yeee

[strange estuary]

I actually just found one I totally forgot making with a name I don't remember having at all

[lime torrent]

I have my “business” one (just misc email tbh), old personal email, and then work email

[strange estuary]

Agent Penguins or something? idk what I was doing at 10 years old 😭

[lime torrent]

Ooooof

Sounds bout right

[strange estuary]

had no emails, no drive, must have just abandoned it right as I made it

[lime torrent]

Ah

[strange estuary]

I basically just have personal & education email

I sign up to all college application stuff with one essentially

[lime torrent]

Ah

[strange estuary]

and financial aid whatevers

[lime torrent]

Yeee

I need to eventually unsubscribe to all those random info emails and just push everything to two accounts

Aside from work ofc

[strange estuary]

100% yeah, I'm working on that myself XD

[lime torrent]

XD

[tacit flicker]

Are purchasing sponsored server list slots a good idea or a good use of the money? I'm considering bidding on one of these sites (which seems pretty popular). I'm just nervous it won't pay off-I'm looking for enough profit to at least cover the costs of the slot.

What is your opinion and what were your results from these sites if you've used them in the past? If they aren't a good way to advertise your server, what methods of advertising do you use instead?

Looking for answers from medium to large server owners only with experience going through the small phase.

Thanks for reading.
~ Locasater

[strange estuary]

Ngl, most paid forms of advertising have not worked well for me. I've found more success in niche areas (Reddit, PlanetMC, BuiltByBit daily bumping, actively advertising vote sites)

[tacit flicker]

Hi again lee.

[lime torrent]

Iirc last time I was talking with people, it’s really 50/50. Especially since Google changed their search algorithm.

[strange estuary]

I also highly recommend avoiding hiring content creators to do vids on the server, it's not organic growth and kinda just falls apart

[lime torrent]

I could be wrong tho

[strange estuary]

Hey, I'm a little bit everywhere aren't I xD

[lime torrent]

Lunars been doing good for us tho

[tacit flicker]

yeah haha

[lime torrent]

Really hit or miss icl

[strange estuary]

Lunar as in lunar client or am I dumb?

[lime torrent]

Yeee

[tacit flicker]

How come?

[lime torrent]

Search algorithms changing, content creators are always meh (aside from shorts tbh)

[strange estuary]

yeah^ shorts always the way

[tacit flicker]

What forms of advertising do you guys use? I have been using reddit and other forums and was able to grow a community of 130 discord members, and I released last week!

[lime torrent]

Minecraft movie may bring some more traction back tho

[tacit flicker]

is there any good methods?

[lime torrent]

Imo

[strange estuary]

Free ones, imo

[lime torrent]

Be reliable

[tacit flicker]

I had this talk with @wraith current last night, and she recommended word of mouth.

[strange estuary]

Low risk

[lime torrent]

Or that

[tacit flicker]

Just other people telling other people etc.

[strange estuary]

Word of mouth is good, just hard

[lime torrent]

Word of mouth, just having your links on vote sites

[tacit flicker]

Yeah.

[lime torrent]

Etc

Shit that’s free

[tacit flicker]

I mean I have 5 vote sites.

should i register to more?

I heard for vote sites, you want not too much but not too little.

because it'll be a hastle for your members to vote daily.

[lime torrent]

If you have good enough rewards it’ll be fine

[strange estuary]

Yeah I've heard that as well, but tbh have as many as you want

[tacit flicker]

I just give a common key & 2,000$

per vote site.

[strange estuary]

don't limit yourself, just make the rewards balanced and reasonable

[lime torrent]

^

[strange estuary]

people don't mind spendingthe 5 minutes it takes if there's benefit for them

[lime torrent]

We have 8 sites rn

[lime torrent]

Yep

[strange estuary]

Oh yeah

And one more suggestion

[tacit flicker]

Yes?

[strange estuary]

gonna get flamed here but

MineHut proxys

look into it for sure

[tacit flicker]

I tried it.

did horrible for me.

[strange estuary]

you'll get a lot of dummies but I'm hearing now there's some genuinely good players in there

oh really? rip

[tacit flicker]

Paid for it and it hardly worked

[lime torrent]

I haven’t looked into it so I can’t say personally, iirc we used to run ads for them on our servers.

[tacit flicker]

got like 5members daily on a good day.

[strange estuary]

I'm planning on doing it with mine soon, just not gonna pay for it or pay very little

[tacit flicker]

what does iirc mean again?

[strange estuary]

If I recall correctly

[lime torrent]

If I remember correctly

[tacit flicker]

oh ight.

[strange estuary]

why did I say recall

[lime torrent]

Same thing XD

[strange estuary]

I never say recall 😭

anyway

[lime torrent]

😭

[wraith current]

[tacit flicker]

What other ad methods do yall recommend. If you check my bio im an upcoming server owner.

oh hi jaz mb for ping.

was mentioning last nights call xD

[strange estuary]

This ones out there but I heard article sites

try to get your servers on some articles

[tacit flicker]

what type of articles though?

[strange estuary]

it's a stretch but hey, it's a thing

MC server articles, they are out there

like uhh, TOP 10 LIFESTEAL SERVERS FEBRURARY 2025

etc etc

[lime torrent]

Yeah, I mean. Being reliable with updates, bug fixes, being active (staff/managment), etc.

Especially if you’re starting, use as much free stuff as possible as it doesn’t hurt you financially

[strange estuary]

Try getting ahold of the writers, pitch yourself, be professional, that deal. Honestly there's more "worth it" approaches than that, but in my case I have a game mode that no one is gonna find or like organically lol

which is defo my fault, but I'm trying to pivot our brand identity more towards being a RPG/MMO that way I can attract people

before hand we kinda just called ourself RPG-esque and there is no identity in that title

[lime torrent]

You don’t want todo stuff like paid partnership on clients lets say if the ROI wouldn’t be worth for you

[tacit flicker]

Content wise, im doing good. Im releasing a new update every couple of days.

[lime torrent]

Wynncraft my love

[strange estuary]

🙏

[tacit flicker]

@dreamy saddle

[strange estuary]

I basically have a dumbed down version of wynn craft rn xD

[lime torrent]

That’s good, but also don’t over do it yourself. Burn out will fuck you over hard.

[tacit flicker]

murk is an amazing fella

my partner in crime

he owns toad with me.

[lime torrent]

XD

[lime torrent]

I have an old MMO type doc I wrote for my server

[tacit flicker]

royalmc>>>wynncraft

xD

[strange estuary]

Just got it updated to 1.21.4 today, only minor issues rn

[lime torrent]

Was like… 100 pages but wasn’t even 1/4th done

[tacit flicker]

lee I suggest stepping away from updates and grind promos asap.

[strange estuary]

I would but there's not enough content and the game is broken lol

can't promote a broken server

[lime torrent]

We haven’t updated yet. Our setup is uh… something else.

[strange estuary]

yet at least

[lime torrent]

Fair

[strange estuary]

plus solo dev-ing is tough

[strange estuary]

😭

[tacit flicker]

Right now, my current methods for promotions are:

• shorts spamming
• reddit
• minecraft forums
• server lists
• referrals

[lime torrent]

Definitely

[strange estuary]

That was my issue, my workflow was not.. organized

I'm not a very organized person in general, so docs don't tend to work for me

[tacit flicker]

real

I have been solo deving and got used to it pretty much

[strange estuary]

but it would have been great to force myself to do it for my staff and all, it made it harder but we made it work

[tacit flicker]

having nights where I grind updates from 8pm - 9am has become a normal thing for me.

[lime torrent]

Take a page out of other servers that are bigger. As long as it isn’t a 1:1 copy, it should work. If they’re bigger it’s for a good reason.

[strange estuary]

Yee this is good. Will say, spamming shorts (idk how often you mean by spamming) isn't actually a good move

The algorithm favors uploading consistently, but not TOO fast

[lime torrent]

^

[tacit flicker]

@dreamy saddle does them.

[lime torrent]

Like 1-2 times a day at max

[tacit flicker]

I believe he posts like a short every 2days?

[dreamy saddle]

Would’ve been a banging idea a couple years back, but Minehut’s fallen off pretty hard from what it used to be. I gave the proxy thing a go a while back and could barely set it up.

[tacit flicker]

yeah ofc, by spamming i didnt mean like 8 tiktoks a day 💀

[strange estuary]

Every 2 days is solid, might wanna try daily at some point at possible

[strange estuary]

RIP

[lime torrent]

Yeee

[strange estuary]

Yeah seems like I'm late to the minehut party

[tacit flicker]

@dreamy saddle grind! try to post atleast 1 short a day.

[strange estuary]

Gonna do it for mine regardless and just not pay

do the free option

[tacit flicker]

yeah.

[dreamy saddle]

Yeah it sucked bro, you could probably try it out & not go all in on it, but I didn’t have a good experience with it icl

[tacit flicker]

One thing we did do is, invest in a dedicated server. which made everyones lifes 100x easier.

[strange estuary]

Gonna do it when I fix my old decrepit systems I made

[tacit flicker]

benefited everyone.

[lime torrent]

110%

[strange estuary]

Heck yeah

[tacit flicker]

(less maintenance for players, a test server for me. better performance)

[lime torrent]

We have 3 right now

[strange estuary]

I spend literally as little as I can per month, I don't have a steady job so I gotta lol

[lime torrent]

And tbh, could get away with another

[strange estuary]

I just use shared hosting, not ideal but good for the budget

[tacit flicker]

Sage what's your server? DM to me, i'd love to take a look.

[lime torrent]

MCHub

[strange estuary]

really low RAM and bad CPU, but 20 TPS still so can't complain

[tacit flicker]

I believe we use the same host 💀

[lime torrent]

I basically do everything besides core dev work

[strange estuary]

Pebble?

[tacit flicker]

same mutual server, so Im guessing pebble

yeah.

[lime torrent]

And staff management

[strange estuary]

yep xD

I used to have beast hardware, but the company was a partial scam, so I noped out of there

[tacit flicker]

damn

[strange estuary]

went with the cookie cutter, though safest option

[tacit flicker]

Sage damn

[strange estuary]

at least I'll be assured I'm not getting scammed at pebble lol

[tacit flicker]

235 online rn

thats crazy.

keep it up man.

[lime torrent]

Ye

[tacit flicker]

How did you get there if you don't mind me asking?

[lime torrent]

Tbh, was better back in the day

[strange estuary]

wait that's you? dangggg

[lime torrent]

F1nn 😭

[lime torrent]

Yee

[tacit flicker]

wdym f1nn?

[strange estuary]

[lime torrent]

[tacit flicker]

wait wtf

[lime torrent]

Yeah

[strange estuary]

Mix of both these days

[lime torrent]

Yep

Dash of twitch streamer too

[tacit flicker]

Sage can I ask, when you started your server where you having issues with playercounts?

Right now I average 10-15 concurrent players online.

I want to change that asap, I just dont know how to 😭

[lime torrent]

Tbh, I wasn’t here since the start but. Technically the original owner was running mc servers since uh

2013?

I think

[strange estuary]

Me averaging 0 💀

[tacit flicker]

Oh damn.

[lime torrent]

I think Arkham released in 2013

Idk

[tacit flicker]

We've been going at it since 2023

[lime torrent]

I just work here

Yeah Arkham started in 2013

Just checked

[tacit flicker]

bro wtf is F1NN5TER posting on they twitter 😭

no way thats who promoted ur server...

[lime torrent]

Before all of that

Yeah

[tacit flicker]

damn

[lime torrent]

Just imo, only risk of YouTubers is the money.

A lot of their fans just follow them as well

[tacit flicker]

yeah true

[lime torrent]

@tacit flicker ^

When he was doing mc

OG mcp

The days

[proper jungle]

I was watching that everytime he released a new vid

I loved it so badly

xD

[tacit flicker]

WAIT.

thats a guy?

[proper jungle]

xDDDDDDDDD

[tacit flicker]

I didnt know damn.

[proper jungle]

HOW

you can hear

that it is a guy

[tacit flicker]

I didnt even know who this youtuber was until now.

I never heard/saw him.

[lime torrent]

Yeee

[lime torrent]

Yeah, hasn’t been super active on that channel recently due to Twitch/OF making him more money

He’s definitely living good for life

[tacit flicker]

💀💀💀

[lime torrent]

XD

[tacit flicker]

going from MC -> OF is insane icl

[lime torrent]

Tbh, who wouldn’t do it for 6 figures a month

[tacit flicker]

this remind me of babykeem lowkey.

[tacit flicker]

I wouldn't.

Im a man of god.

[lime torrent]

😭

[tacit flicker]

😭

bro craziest plot twist was babykeem having a mc channel

back in the day

[lime torrent]

Finn did cannoning back in the OG days

If anyone remembers The Archon times

[dreamy saddle]

I used to play the archon

[tacit flicker]

I used to play on that.

with murk

😭

that server fell off hard though.

I average more members than it.

[dreamy saddle]

It’s gone bro

[lime torrent]

EULA got them hard

Iirc

Same with Cosmic

[tacit flicker]

why?

[lime torrent]

A load of factions servers

[tacit flicker]

what rule did they break?

[lime torrent]

Loads of insane p2w

[tacit flicker]

damn 💀

[lime torrent]

Yeah

[tacit flicker]

they prolly cashed out hard though

[lime torrent]

🤷🏻‍♀️

[tacit flicker]

it wouldn't really matter to them

[lime torrent]

Yep

[tacit flicker]

You know what really annoys me?

[lime torrent]

?

[tacit flicker]

Low quality servers with high player counts.

Brainrot lifesteal 😭

[lime torrent]

Yeah, who knows

[tacit flicker]

Why do they even get lots of players?

[lime torrent]

Good to follow the trends tho

[tacit flicker]

Purple prison 😭

[lime torrent]

🤷🏻‍♀️

[strange estuary]

One server fixes the most popular servers problem

That’s how they get players

Then another one comes along and fixes their biggest problem

Cycle repeats

• TikTok brainrot

and bam, perfect profit formula

Not to mention all the $10 built by big setups that are ready for little Timmy to setup and make a P2W server

[lime torrent]

XD

[strange estuary]

(But mostly it’s the same no name owners making these servers, it’s like an underground Lifesteal server ring I swear)

[lime torrent]

Tbh

Loads also just do it with different names

Or just under a company

[tacit flicker]

Im not even gonna lie, I used to run a server with one of those 💀

Thank god I don't anymore 😭

You won't believe how much you can learn in 16 months

[lime torrent]

I can’t lie, I’d love to see someone who has no experience try to get MCHub working properly that’s not setup by anyone who’s worked here

[tacit flicker]

Sage join my discord on my bio rq

i wanna show you sum

[strange estuary]

Could I do it? XD

What gamemode is it that’s the question

(hypothetical, I’m not gonna rip it off ;-;)

[tacit flicker]

Take inspo*

Hey

[lime torrent]

Prisons, Skyblock, and Survival

Are the ones that are setup

[tacit flicker]

So to return to my question, Is buying premium slots on server lists worth it?
