[novel umbra]

but it is irrelevant

[young crow]

i mean, they have no c++ code used anywhere

[trim rock]

Yeah like VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
Surely that one would be banned by now unless Windows assigns another one behind the back

[young crow]

so that'd be weird at the very least

[fringe salmon]

With that I just mean seeing how you work with strings, you are used to this and not to using interpolation xD

[young crow]

just to be clear

it's bsg'

s code

not mine

[fringe salmon]

Ah

[ornate cedar]

For the record. This code is horrible in so many ways. Cursed

[novel umbra]

welcome to eft

[trim rock]

Yeah and when it's decompiled it tends to increase in cursedness

[young crow]

who would win

a multimillion dollar company

one funny binary

[fading spade]

fuckbsg hooker 🤔

[young crow]

i like my funny names

[fading spade]

oh, this your code? Xd

[young crow]

the bypass is literally called battlestateless

[fading spade]

oop

[young crow]

yall wanna know how bsg integrity checks game files? :^)

[trim rock]

Let me guess..
It doesn't

[ornate cedar]

Using checksums?

[young crow]

nope

[fading spade]

Go on

[young crow]

:(

where do i upload a 7k line function

[fading spade]

O.o

[fading spade]

I'm on phone rn

:')

[trim rock]

Well that's one way of doing it

[young crow]

i love to imagine it's not autogenerated

and nikita sits there and updates checksums

[ornate cedar]

Thats some yanderedev level code

jeez

[fading spade]

It has to be done manually?!

[trim rock]

Yes how else do you think code happens?

[ornate cedar]

Write code that writes code

[fading spade]

I was referring to this

Would be funny but hopefully not happening

Never.

[fading spade]

This makes me curious now....

[oak gyro]

9 seconds? Someone's a fan of Some Ordinary Gamers.

[fading spade]

Yes

Yes I am

His tech and deep web and game videos

When he makes videos on politics... nah m8

[oak gyro]

What are your thoughts on virtual machine videos?

[fading spade]

YES

[oak gyro]

He's making one soon on running multiple virtual machines from his single 3090.

[fading spade]

Oh boi

[oak gyro]

Going to be interesting to see how he bypasses the limits NVIDIA puts on their consumer cards. Without that bypass it can only be one VM.

[fading spade]

I've very tempted to swap to AMD as soon as a card I can afford is available again

Idk where I'd sell my 1660 though

[oak gyro]

eBay or Craigslist or something in your area are probably easiest.

If you prefer to avoid those websites, sit in front of an electronics store asking if anyone wants to buy it.

Whoever had this phone number before me seriously did not know how to avoid spam messages. I'm getting text messages from best buy, bluenotes, lots of game stores and other random stuff saying their deals and offers.

[ashen lark]

Never had that happen tbh. Get a bit of “ad” emails mostly because I don’t care and did want them once, but no scams or anything surprisingly.

[oak gyro]

I get a minimum of 5 random "ad" texts per day with this number. I don't really care though, it's only used for 2FA, verifying accounts and messaging on Signal. I just delete them if I get them.

[orchid prism]

Praise living in a country without robo calls or predatory marketing laws.

[barren pewter]

heh, just got a robocall for my local MPP

they're the worst, because I really couldn't give a shit, so I just hang up

[orchid prism]

Never had one. Worse I've gotten are those scam Microsoft calls from India once or twice.

And some lady asking if I liked pasta.

[fading spade]

Trying to make you say "yes" so they can record it to use as verification for voice controlled banking services

[young hill]

Sounds awful but believable given some people's phone service is hacked cause a stranger decided to call a representative and they simply agreed to change a setting.

[unborn spruce]

Oh ffs.

Of all the anticheat they could use they pick the shittiest one that doesn’t work but still counts as spyware...?

-_-

[oak gyro]

Why didn't they use something like Easy Anti-cheat?

[oak gyro]

Anyone else remember Bless Online?

[clear parrot]

Never heard of it.

[oak gyro]

Oh, you must have missed it. It was one of the greatest memes in MMO history.

Everyone was looking for the next WoW Classic so when Bless launched, everyone was saying how every MMO would die and it would be the next big thing.

The game was so bad that there was item duplication within a couple of hours and the entire in-game economy was a joke.

There's far too many issues to explain in one message. Long story short, it failed miserably and was dead within a week. Everyone went back to the MMO community they originated from and refused to speak of Bless Online despite hyping it up for months over how it was going to kill the game they played.

The same thing happened with Maplestory 2.

[clear parrot]

Hehehe.

That Bless game does sound like it was a good joke. 😆

[oak gyro]

Just in case you want to see how bad it was, here's a video. First link is invidious, second link is YouTube. Use whichever you prefer.

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=NlMmqsccEf0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlMmqsccEf0

[clear parrot]

Both are same video link, just different forms.

[oak gyro]

Indeed, but some don't know what invidious is and think it's scary.

[clear parrot]

Ahh, ok, I just noticed that the shorter one is yew instead of you.

[oak gyro]

Yeah. There's also ytprivate and others for invidious. I just choose one that has a URL like that so it's easier to share with others. People get confused when I link the vid.puffyan.us and others that look like gibberish.

[clear parrot]

Hehehe, I bet they can get confused.

[oak gyro]

The best console is a handheld that can emulate every other console.

Those are kind of illegal though.

Nintendo Switches seem nice but I heard drift is a massive issue. Drift is a massive issue for VR headsets as well apparently.

I wonder how good the Steam Deck will be.

[fading spade]

The fix for Drift is easy and so far I dont have any

and my friend's Lite has no drift and hes had it for well over a a year

[novel umbra]

fix = rma

[orchid prism]

Still waiting for EU consumer rights orgs to force Nintendo to fix drift. 😦

[fading spade]

IDk if they can since Nintendo do not think it's a big deal 🤦🏻‍♀️

[novel umbra]

ofc they can

[orchid prism]

They can do whatever they want to.

Question is if enough people complain 😄

[oak gyro]

As long as it's possible for me to take it apart and repair it myself with ease then I am more than happy to buy one.

If I need parts or something I won't get one.

[ornate cedar]

Drifting? This aint no Tokio!

[novel umbra]

you will need a replacement stick

each time you "fix" it

[oak gyro]

Well, are replacement sticks extremely easy to come across?

[novel umbra]

kinda

[oak gyro]

As long as parts are easy to find I'm more than happy to fix it.

Most of the time it's harder than it should be.

[orchid prism]

https://eustore.ifixit.com/products/nintendo-switch-joy-con-joystick

Entry price is tall though. Unless you want to go digging on chinese ebay 😄

[novel umbra]

seen them on aliexpress for a third of that

[orchid prism]

It's almost as if I literally said that 😄

[novel umbra]

not really digging

[oak gyro]

Damn, iFixIt doesn't have anything for VR headsets.

Reasonable though since they are far less popular than a Nintendo Switch.

[novel umbra]

idk what drifts on those

[orchid prism]

The very act of accessing Ali is "digging into chinese ebay" as far as I'm concerned. A million unnamed, unknown sellers with no pedigree or warranties 😄

[novel umbra]

but I would assume problems with inside out tracking

[novel umbra]

aliexpress acts as the warranty

[oak gyro]

They usually have a joystick similar to what the 3DS had. It drifts after a while.

[orchid prism]

Have fun sending something back to China.

[novel umbra]

you don't

[orchid prism]

That'll cost you more than the product you paid for.

[novel umbra]

you just complain at aliexpress

and get your money back or a replacement sent

[orchid prism]

That'd be a first 😛

[oak gyro]

"Hey AliExpress, I bought this joystick and now it's drifting after 6 months. Can I get a new one?"

[novel umbra]

if the seller asks you to send it back then ask for a shipping label or cotnact aliexpress support

[novel umbra]

yes

[oak gyro]

Honestly, may as well abuse the support system.

I've done that more times than I could count.

[novel umbra]

aliexpress has a 90 day timer running after you order

[orchid prism]

That's great when it takes 60 of them for something to arrive 😄

[novel umbra]

if you don't confirm that you received your items in 90 days you automatically open a ticket with a seller

[orchid prism]

Meanwhile in the EU you have two YEARS.

[novel umbra]

two separate things

the 90 days is just to make sure you received it within that timeframe

[orchid prism]

Not even remotely.

Warranty is warranty.

[novel umbra]

yes

but in the EU noody is stopping a seller from selling you something and then never to deliver?

[orchid prism]

You know... except the law?

[novel umbra]

you can keep delaying things though

[orchid prism]

Nope.

[novel umbra]

the buyer can of course try to back out of a purchase

same on aliexpress though

the 90 days is JUST to make sure you received them within 90 days

if not you are eligeble for a refund just on that

[orchid prism]

I can't help but notice you trying to change the topic from warranty to "the shit never arrived" 😛

[novel umbra]

I never said warranty

[orchid prism]

90 days

[novel umbra]

I just mentioned that it is a thing on aliexpress

[novel umbra]

did I ever say 90 days warranty?

is this a warranty

[orchid prism]

You said it in response (one would assume given the context of us literally talking about warranty)

So let's revisit warranty super quickly.

You're buying from China. Which is ... pretty lawless as far as consumer rights go. If Ali decides to fuck you over, you will stay fucked.

Sending anything back to China is infinitely more expensive than the random part you bought.

[novel umbra]

when did you have to send something back

on your own costs

never had that happen

with chinese sellers

and if that were to happen aliexpress support is a thing

[orchid prism]

The customer always puts down money for returns. Whether Ali decides to accept the warranty claim and repay you is after the fact.

[novel umbra]

aliexpress has no interest in hosting sellers with a bad customer experience

[orchid prism]

They're also a business who would prefer not to refund every single random item you claim.

You're making a LOT of assumptions as far as Ali's willingness to play nice 😄

[novel umbra]

aliexpress doesn't sell it to you though

they are only acting as a relay in this case

they get their money either way

[orchid prism]

False.

You're dealing with Ali. Whether or not they're using a sub-contractor to actually ship you the part.

[novel umbra]

not true

[orchid prism]

Literally true.

[novel umbra]

ok

I order from some seller on there

[orchid prism]

Amazon can't go "Oh no - Sorry. You bought this from COMPANYX, not us. So warranty is with THEM"

That is fraud.

[novel umbra]

that uses a warehouse and shipping completely independent from aliexpress

the first people that you contact is the seller themselves

not aliexpress

[orchid prism]

It doesn't matter if they're allowing Martians to ship from Mars. You're still legally buying from and dealing with Ali.

How they choose to handle things is on them.

[novel umbra]

yes

and ali cares more about the user experience

[orchid prism]

[CITATION NEEDED]

[novel umbra]

they do get their money back from the seller if they are doing shady stuff

[novel umbra]

aliexpress is worse than amazon for retailers

[orchid prism]

That's the entire fucking point I'm making. They're Chinese. They don't HAVE to follow sensible consumer laws.

Jesus wept my dude 😄

https://tenor.com/view/bye-window-jump-gif-9840403

[novel umbra]

they don't have to obv

but the only market of them is western customers

and they are notorious for treating sellers badly

in favor of the customer

[fading spade]

Could you not offer a strand of hair each wish?

Cause hair strands are body parts...

[oak gyro]

I finally figured out what to put in my bio. It's extremely short and sweet.

[small comet]

is it

why would u wanna be an elf

[fading spade]

Elf girls are cute :D

[small comet]

only female elfs are hot

[fading spade]

yeah

She is female

[small comet]

oh

[oak gyro]

Not very original with names though.

[fading spade]

Me neither ;-;

[oak gyro]

I stole this name from the Dota 2: Dragon's Blood show.

[fading spade]

:')

[oak gyro]

There was an elf named Fymryn and it was taken on all platforms so I changed it to Fymrin.

At least I changed one letter though!

[fading spade]

:P

[small comet]

unlike avanna

[fading spade]

Yeh lel

:')

Hey, I changed her hair color to blue

LEL

[oak gyro]

Stole the name from a show?

[small comet]

worse

software

[fading spade]

Avanna is a vocaloid

[oak gyro]

My profile picture is an actual screenshot from one of the episodes.

[small comet]

i dont dota2

cause icefrog betrayed wc3

[oak gyro]

Planning to get a custom image in the future so that I can start to distance myself more from the Dota 2 show.

[fading spade]

aw :D she pretty

[oak gyro]

She has very limited lore though.

[small comet]

i shall abstain from making comments

[oak gyro]

Basically, there are two goddesses of the moon: Selemene, the current mood goddess, and Mene, a goddess who randomly disappeared with nobody knowing why.

[small comet]

mood goddess?

so thats who i gotta be angry at

[oak gyro]

The elves believed that if they stole a lotus and took it to a sage hidden in a valley that they could bring Mene back. That's Fymryn's entire story. She was the elf that tried.

She then returned it when she found out it wouldn't work.

[small comet]

also how do u steal a rather easily grown plant

or lotus as in the car

[oak gyro]

They were magical lotuses placed at Selemene's temple.

I am keeping the elf part of the backstory but that's about it. I want to be "unique" by stealing a character's name.

[small comet]

and race

and cuteness

[oak gyro]

To be fair, elves are adorable. They're extremely cute.

[small comet]

cant say

never met an elf or dated one

(not that i dated anyone)

[fading spade]

yep :D So is Link though and Zelda

[novel umbra]

[small comet]

link is not an elf

[novel umbra]

I stole the name pronin from a russian cartoon

just unknown enough to not get recognized

[small comet]

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

[oak gyro]

Judging by the search results, Fymryn is kind of unknown.

She is mentioned is obscure media and channels claiming she is the next Dota 2 hero and the extremely limited images and lore from the show. That's it.

Regardless, the name is changed enough that if Fymryn became a hero or gained a lot of popularity and I somehow gained popularity the search results should be separate.

Kind of like Zaunkoenig the company and zaunkönig the bird. Completely separate search results (in the images).

[fading spade]

got to love bouncing on Lemmy's balls to get a 10 coin

[oak gyro]

You like vocaloid? I used to listen to it all the time but had to stop because ads started creeping their way in to every video.

[novel umbra]

they are only called zaunkoenig because people couldn't write their name

[fading spade]

(ad block)

[oak gyro]

They mention on the website that they also chose zaunkoenig so that they wouldn't "break the internet".

[novel umbra]

and in their home market googling with oe yields the same results

first result that is not bound to the bird is this btw

http://zaunkoenig.de/

why does the song read like some hotel hasbro song

[fading spade]

🤔

wut

HAH xd

[oak gyro]

Is there a fix for the dumb "Are you still listening?" prompt on YouTube Music?

[fading spade]

oh yeah... that shit .-.

idk

lol, get a thing to slightly move your mouse cursor every 10 minutes

[bleak pike]

Have you tried turning it on and off again?

[small comet]

yes there is

[bleak pike]

Does youtube premium give me youtube music

[small comet]

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-nonstop/nlkaejimjacpillmajjnopmpbkbnocid

[small comet]

yes

[bleak pike]

Hmm

I just don't see a reason to use it over Spotify

But I might try it idk

[small comet]

has yt vids aswell

[small comet]

@oak gyro

[ornate cedar]

Let the shadow people do it instead maybe they stay to keep company

[fading spade]

Yes, but why would you watch videos in YT Music, you cant change them out of 360p

[bleak pike]

@small comet does the app you made not work with it?

[small comet]

not for that

but custom songs

[fading spade]

ah yes

[small comet]

that arent on spotify

[small comet]

there is a pr open in my app havent been able to check it yet

[oak gyro]

The only reason I'd consider YouTube over Spotify is for genres that are niche enough that there are far less options on Spotify.

[fading spade]

Some youtube songs are in YT music and IDK why not ;-;

[small comet]

they basically implemented the addon into my app

[bleak pike]

Spotify has a lot of custom and community songs

[small comet]

i only use yt music cause i got premium

and i aint paying for shitify

[bleak pike]

Ye that's fair

I don't pay for Spotify anymore

[oak gyro]

As long as I don't have to do the sketchy custom spotify exe like I used to I'm fine. I remember ad blockers having issues at one point and the custom exe was the only solution.

[bleak pike]

My friend won't let me xD

Using duo

[ornate cedar]

Spotify loud ad and I will never forget their crimes against my eardrums

[bleak pike]

Tis annoying cos I csnt just send money against his will either xD

So I'll prob make it up to him for Xmas

[fading spade]

I used the hosts file to block spotify ads

[oak gyro]

If all the genres of music were on Odysee I'd just use that.

[oak gyro]

I might have to try that.

[fading spade]

It caused some issues though like adding songs to playlist didnt work, so I had to remove the hosts file to add songs but I didt do that often so meh

And windows has a habit of ignoring the hosts file sometimes also

[small comet]

might integrated adblock into ytmusic app i made

when i get the settings thing working

[fading spade]

Meanwhile one of my hosts files for ad and tracker blocking is pretty large

[ornate cedar]

49694 lines

[fading spade]

is a combo of a lot of lists, there may be duplicated entries

idk

not done yet

[ornate cedar]

You aint one of those kind that put all the data on one file and you need 42GB of memory to even open the file

[fading spade]

huh?

[small comet]

only a few blocked

[fading spade]

oh wow

[small comet]

some stats

blurry

hand cooperate with me

[fading spade]

overwolf?

[small comet]

yes overwolf

my roommate makes all these overwolf requests it seems

[fading spade]

idk what that is but damn xd

[oak gyro]

I have something similar but in uBlock Origin.

[small comet]

this is dns level

so network wide

any device in my lan/wlan gets adblock

[ornate cedar]

No issues with some websites refusing to work because of the adblocking?

[orchid prism]

That's inevitable.

[fading spade]

(minecraft server hosts always break with ad blocker)

[oak gyro]

I'm probably going to setup a Pihole soon when I'm not lazy.

For now uBlock Origin is completely fine.

[ornate cedar]

Aye, does its job well. Dont know what it all does because im runnin a few tracking, advert blockers and useragent spoofin

[fading spade]

Does the user agent spoofing built into Plasma desktop only work on their Falkon browser?

[ornate cedar]

? Browser gets to deal with that normally?

[fading spade]

IDK, Plasma system settings have an option to customise it

[ornate cedar]

But anyway websites think im running windows nt

[fading spade]

Wait, is it gone now?! One sec lemme search

[bleak pike]

I csnt get over the fast my mum

Has more requests than me this month

[fading spade]

Xiaomi ad domain

[bleak pike]

Ye lol

[fading spade]

I dont see ads on MIUI anymore

[bleak pike]

It's not ads in miui

Its all tracker stuff

[fading spade]

Ah

[bleak pike]

Mum: Why do sites randomly say error?

Basically if a site has trackers it won't work

Unless you try a second time

[ornate cedar]

Should return an 500 code

So you can blame the sites for fuckin it up

Neat

[bleak pike]

Aye

But Is it network wide on all devices?

:p

[oak gyro]

I forgot how much music impacts aim training. I don't know if it's just me or not but if I have music playing while aim training I seem to perform a lot better.

[fading spade]

wtf is happening with Sea of Thieves?

almost 10GB update :O

[small comet]

if a website does that i already know i dont wanna go visit it

[small comet]

u will maybe still need a yt adblock cause yt ads are videos stored on the same domains as normal videos so a local adblock can handle it better cause it knows the url of the yt vid u wanna watch and can just block requests to other videos if u havent clicked on a new video

[fading spade]

ooh....thats why for a while ublock origin couldnt block yt ads

[small comet]

like yt ads are the smartest attempt short of injecting ads directly into a video stream

[oak gyro]

uBlock Origin is doing the job just fine.

[small comet]

ye but like most blockers there was a time where they didnt

[fading spade]

^^

[small comet]

altho if yt actually injects the data into video stream no one can block it

[fringe salmon]

like twitch does it now

[small comet]

so they actually switched

damn

[fringe salmon]

well not fully I think

because if you view the stream via vlc or similar it goes around it

[small comet]

hmm

[novel umbra]

obv the player needs to know what to do with the extra data

[fringe salmon]

well no, if they would just insert it into the stream

it would just play the ad

because it wouldnt know the difference

[novel umbra]

yea

they don't though

unless they wanna make a custom stream for every viewer

I mean, you're not wrong.

I just finished an hour of intense aim training.

Nothing too impressive by most people's standards but intense for me.

I need to stop having a sleep schedule which doesn't exist for any region that I know of.

[fading spade]

@bleak pike wtf is Control - Cloud version? I see you have it on Switch

Quite a good controller, feels far nicer than slotting the joycons into the included controller thing

[fading spade]

There is only one in stock in the store

so id have to reserve it maybe to pick it up tomorrow

[fading spade]

TBF, the JoyCon grip feels pretty decent imo :D

Can it pair to computer too and also connect back to the Switch again without repairing to Switch?

[raven harness]

I don't believe so, I think you have to use the usb to pair back to the console, but it's been a while switched to a ps4 controller for PC use...

[slim token]

can't wait to get my $600 steam controller

[fading spade]

what

[ornate cedar]

They cant wait to get the steam controller that is valued at 600unitedstatesroubles

might mean they could take yours out of inpatience or just a offhand remark to show excitement for the future event

[fading spade]

technically the Steam Deck is a steam controller with a computer inside it

xd

[ornate cedar]

Well you cant be sure they mean the Steam Deck as those are distinct products and you can sell a steam controller for 600canadianpesos

[fading spade]

👀

Dont valve still sell those?

[slim token]

i do mean the deck

cobblestone = life

you literally can't play minecraft without cobblestone

[bleak pike]

@orchid prism is each area market different?

[unborn spruce]

This makes me happy.

It does.

Sometimes just being told to shut the fuck up does wonders.

And I mean that whole thing is wrapped in irony, hilariously enough.

[oak gyro]

My roommates must slowly be questioning me more. Either that or finally realized my sleep schedule is non-existent.

[ornate cedar]

Begin chanting in latin for no reason

[oak gyro]

I left my room around 20:00 and they didn't even bother saying anything. They just gave me the look of "wtf".

[oak gyro]

If I knew latin and could talk around them, I would.

[unborn spruce]

You don't need to know Latin.

You just need to know enough to convince them.

[ornate cedar]

All you need is some random phrases, most people dont know latin either

[unborn spruce]

^^

He knows!

I just learned that it's a thing on Twitch for streamers to have a mute.

Not a big thing but it is a thing.

Not sure if it's concerning or not.

[ornate cedar]

eh, its normal

some streamers permaban people with an public shaming before doing it

[oak gyro]

Streaming: The peak of both entertainment and degeneracy.

[ornate cedar]

You need to ban certain users. Usually nazis spamming the n-word or something

[oak gyro]

Oh, I don't even need a moderator for that.

[ornate cedar]

It takes like 99% of their brain power to come up with such a novel slur

[oak gyro]

Twitch has an automatic moderation setting and I maxed it out. It automatically deletes messages for me.

Even attempts to get around it have been deleted.

[ornate cedar]

youtube stream chat is a shitshow and is best left banned

[oak gyro]

Odysee streams don't have an automatic moderation setting either. You have to manually make a list of banned words.

At the moment, Twitch is ahead of other platforms for an automatic moderation setting.

[orchid prism]

Nope. You just pay more fees if you buy something from another market.

[small comet]

more less? which of the two

[orchid prism]

Oh god. This is amazing. xF

[small comet]

oh more fees

sowwy

if ure serious about making a living in ffxiv the few gils in fees are nothing

i buy whatever and just make product to sell for a good margin

at least i did last i played

have some horrific genshin image

[oak gyro]

What is that?

Is that one of those weird files where the game somehow takes that monstrosity and turns it into a texture?

[small comet]

that is the texture my dude

its called texture map

[oak gyro]

I've seen so many before and I know they are textures but I fail to understand how that gets mapped to anything.

[small comet]

basically unwrap a 3d model

and it has some connecting points

[fringe salmon]

Think of how a globe looks like if you were to unwrap the surface of it. Not a flat map.

[oak gyro]

Well, that makes slightly more sense.

I always thought that those kinds of textures were mapped with code or something and found it confusing but that makes a lot more sense.

[fringe salmon]

Yeah you basically have a unwrapped globe and cut it apart to store it easily and have markings on the object to know where to put what

[ripe tendon]

except a flat map

cause flat earth, duh

globe conspiracy

[fading spade]

"How Bethesda broke me and why I'll keep buying their games anyway"

That sounds like 90% of the player base already

[oak gyro]

How Riot Games broke me and why I enjoy their games anyway

[fading spade]

Ah lel

[oak gyro]

No but seriously Riot Games makes amazing games that I simultaneously love and hate at the same time. I saw the LCS for League of Legends and was like "Wow! Let's try playing that again!".

[fading spade]

I forget they make red dead redemption series

Oh wait NVM

That's rockstar

[oak gyro]

I didn't even finish the tutorial and I was done playing. VALORANT is more my style.

[fading spade]

Riot games are the music producers who make shitty games also

[oak gyro]

Rockstar would be a good name for an energy drink if it isn't already.

[fading spade]

It's unfair how good riot games can make music ..... And music videos too

[oak gyro]

Don't forget that they have made extremely short manga-like media and anime-style graphics.

[fading spade]

Oo

[oak gyro]

I forget which video it was but they released a video for League of Legends and ever since then everyone has been begging them to make an anime. It was amazing.

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u1oXhiHJM0

WoW refugee ship.

[oak gyro]

Riot Games is the company that's like "Yeah, we make games. Music too. Music videos? Sure, we can do that too. What, an anime? Why not?" and they never fail to amaze everyone. The production quality of their stuff in VALORANT and League of Legends is amazing too.

[fading spade]

Wait

I didn't know Valorant was their title

[oak gyro]

Yeah, the official name is VALORANT.

You have to scream it.

[fading spade]

Lel

Just like WATCH_DOGS

[unborn spruce]

Gotta bold it too.

VALORANT.

[fading spade]

You need to shout it and mention the underscore

WATCH UNDERSCORE DOGS

[orchid prism]

Also it's pronounce Doge.

[fading spade]

Doges

[oak gyro]

Don't have to click the link but just in case you don't believe me, the official spelling is all capital letters.

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/VALORANT

Honestly, I could sell that as an NFT for a million dollars.

Mostly because NFTs are worth a million dollars for absolutely no reason.

[unborn spruce]

NFTs are worth so much because it's legally amazing.

[oak gyro]

I feel like they are mostly used for money laundering.

I love my one friend.

I told him about the new Wooting Keyboard.

He responded with "POG POG POG POG POG" I can't show the full message, it's far beyond the Discord message limit.

[fading spade]

Xdd

[oak gyro]

He then sent me a video of someone setting a watermelon on a table and saying "Here."

[fading spade]

Hmm....

[oak gyro]

I wish I could share the video here but I can't.

He sent me a video of a cat eating a cannabis leaf and then doing a handstand and walking like that. I can't stop laughing please help.

[oak gyro]

Avanna are you okay?

[fading spade]

No

This is cute!

[oak gyro]

Is that an Xbox controller?

No wait.

[fading spade]

Its aimed at Switch

[oak gyro]

Nintendo Switch because of the LEDs.

I got it!

[tender sequoia]

it looks hella uncomfortable

[fading spade]

what those for?

[ornate cedar]

Looks disfigured

[unborn spruce]

That looks fucking cursed to use.

[oak gyro]

What will Avanna do when she finds out about the cat ear headphones from Razer?

[unborn spruce]

Why tf would you put buttons near the middle like that?

What kind of monster does that...?

[tender sequoia]

aestetics over performance

that kinda monster

[fading spade]

Im watchign a review, it seems like a decent controller for smaller hands and its 30 dollars

[ornate cedar]

No its not

[fading spade]

I want them but expensive

[ornate cedar]

dried out ball pen is what its worth

[oak gyro]

There was one guy in Canada that went from a red paperclip to a house.

https://www.supermoney.com/red-paperclip-for-a-house/

[fading spade]

Also, they are Razer, their software is garbage

o.o?

[ornate cedar]

Didnt know plastics came with software now

[fading spade]

mice, keyboard, headsets

Yeah...they do

You are in a keyboard server, that make software for those keyboards

Why you got to ask this?

[oak gyro]

Oh you have no idea. Buy literally anything from Razer and the installer for their software pops up. It's so bad that you can't even have one of their keyboards plugged in while installing windows. The razer software will pop-up and prevent you from continuing installation.

[fading spade]

First time I booted into windows with my speakers attached, it popped up to install the softwaree too

I didnt

[oak gyro]

Maybe it's changed since but I remember having to install Windows for a friend and it didn't let me install Windows with that keyboard plugged in. I couldn't close the program.

[fading spade]

I love Mayro <3 She is a mario game modder and makes really nice videos too

https://youtu.be/keLEiowCagk

[oak gyro]

I think you need to be introduced to the insane people that do "impossible" Mario levels and speedrun them.

[fading spade]

Hmm

xd I know a guy on youtube that is on an endless super expert run! with no skips allowed

[ornate cedar]

How will they complete the impossible its like one of the premises are false

[fading spade]

You can only submit a level in SMM2 that you can beat

They make you beat the level before uploading it

[ornate cedar]

So its impossible to make the impossible

[fading spade]

Yes

[ornate cedar]

[fading spade]

but you can make so tricky its barely possible

[oak gyro]

Absolutely love these kinds of Mario videos.

https://yewtu.be/channel/UCfLoe5_0yg-30DglyjE2btg

[fading spade]

ooohh mayro mentioned this channel before

[oak gyro]

Took me a bit to find it. I couldn't remember the name of the channel.

[fading spade]

I think she challenged him to beat her super mario 3d world mod

[oak gyro]

The levels he beats are kind of crazy.

My favorite part is when he puts something on his wall after every video.

[fading spade]

o?

[oak gyro]

Ohh, Mayro is one of those YouTubers that do modified Mario runs and speedruns. Very interesting.

Only did a glance at the channel though so I may have missed other stuff.

[fading spade]

Im really happy
Two of the gaming channels I watch a lot have both come out as trans women
Mayro and Leadhead

Leadhead makes videos about game design and things

[oak gyro]

I forget what their name was but there was a famous Lucio player that did the same in Overwatch.

[fading spade]

Documentary / commentary

o!

[oak gyro]

Unfortunately when she came out she got a lot of hate and lost viewers for a while.

[fading spade]

;-;

[oak gyro]

I feel bad but happy for the ones that come out as transgender. They get a lot of hate (hence being sad) but they usually end up a lot happier (hence being happy).

[fading spade]

She is adorable 😍

it's the trees of SUBSCRIBE NOW

oo, putting the level code in the progress bar chapter names, very nice

gtg....baiii

[hot spire]

You can make improbable to beat

Someone made a combination lock that also had to run down the entire timer

[fading spade]

Big ass box

[young hill]

Will be smaller when they do not include the charger anymore.

[fading spade]

They included USB C cable to plug into the Dock for charging

which is fine IMO

dont need another brick if the Dock already has 3 USB ports

[fading spade]

Ok.... The ending of this level legit scared me for a sec 🤣

[fading spade]

I like my setup :D
Got the cable plugged into the Switch Dock and can plug the controller into it

[oak gyro]

I love how some monitors call themselves "GAMING" monitors because they have RGB now. How much RGB do we need?

[trim rock]

More

[oak gyro]

We already have RGB keyboards, mice, mouse pads, headphone stands, cup holders, RAM, CPU coolers, GPUs, motherboards, power cables and motherboard power cables.

[trim rock]

MORE

[oak gyro]

At least I can turn it off if I don't want it though.

Well, for most things that have RGB that's an option.

[trim rock]

Although monitors definitely need RGB... monochrome is such ancient stuff

[oak gyro]

I just don't understand the RGB craze. Maybe I'm just old and jaded.

[fringe salmon]

I mean I wouldn' mind rgb on the back of my monitor, would've saved me the 5 bucks to get an led strip and put it across it in some ugly fashion

[oak gyro]

As long as there is an off toggle, RGB is okay!

[fading spade]

Or option to make it a gradient of custom color

[oak gyro]

^ without the bloated software preferrably.

[fading spade]

Yes

[oak gyro]

Today I watched one of my favourite tech-tubers install Gentoo and half of the comments were extremely rude because he decided to paint his nails black.

It was an ASMR gentoo install, why the hate?

[fringe salmon]

asmr os install.. I'm not even gonna ask

[oak gyro]

It's Gentoo so it's just a recording of their keyboard as they type in commands.

[trim rock]

So just keyboard ASMR with a plot

[oak gyro]

Kind of, yeah.

[fringe salmon]

well regardless the mistake was obvious

never read youtube comments

[trim rock]

Eh they're usually decent in my experience..
This probably depends on what tubers you watch

[oak gyro]

People get mad over almost anything. Just the tiniest thing imaginable and someone will find a way to be insulted by it.

[fringe salmon]

default umatrix settings block comments from being loaded and I love it

[oak gyro]

I just use Invidious which usually has issues with loading comments so I rarely ever get to read them.

I setup NewPipe to block comments by default as well.

I genuinely don't ever remember WoW having this much community. (Timestamped clip from FF14*)

[oak gyro]

That's because WoW hasn't had a community for probably a decade at this point at the absolute least.

[orchid prism]

I've played since Vanilla. So ... my "ever" point stands 😄

[oak gyro]

There's players but not a community.

Just drones hitting "Queue" and clicking buttons with no interaction.

One of these days I might have to get full body VR and play VRChat. It seems like it could be fun playing with random people and making new friends.

[orchid prism]

I have a friend that just got into VR raves. Hard.

He's having the time of his life.

[oak gyro]

One of my friends started playing VRChat and finally left their bubble after many years of keeping to themselves.

[ripe tendon]

TIL VR raves are a thing

[oak gyro]

Mute ownership is a thing in VR as well.

Not sure why but in VRChat having a mute that does anything you say is a status symbol in some lobbies.

[small comet]

like this might be a weird or uh... question i shouldnt ask but could it be that youre mute

[ripe tendon]

well VR chat is for psychopaths

[small comet]

cause u mention it alot

[orchid prism]

Some of them are even comboed with real clubs. So you can see the real floor and vice versa. It really blew up during covid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1wUg9HCODU

[ripe tendon]

The shit I would never even consider or think to do and it's this popular, wild times

[oak gyro]

Feel free to ask, I don't mind.

[small comet]

i already did

[small comet]

but sadly the tweekaz dont do it on their friday streams

[oak gyro]

Is the question about how I learned of that being a thing? Sorry, I don't understand the question at the moment.

[small comet]

i was asking if you are mute or not

[oak gyro]

Selectively but yes. I only talk around my parents and siblings.

[small comet]

ah ok

uk

im dumb

i could have

just read ur bio

[oak gyro]

I talk to myself out loud as well if nobody is around.

Or whisper to myself quietly enough that nobody around me can hear me.

It's fine. Not many people read the bio anyway.

[ripe tendon]

I have discussions with myself to figure out problems and have been caught by family talking to myself several times

we all have our shit

[small comet]

i dont keep my shit

i usually flush that

sorry

[oak gyro]

I mostly talk myself through decision making. If I'm streaming and playing a game I sometimes whisper to myself what I should do during the round in different scenarios.

That's only because I don't have a microphone though. If I had one I probably wouldn't do that.

[bleak pike]

You ever been to one in xiv xD

Usually 80 or so people inside and 100 waiting to get in

[small comet]

ididnt know ffxiv had raves

[bleak pike]

Ye

almost every day

Some clubs are bigger than others tho

Usually you have to arrive 2 hours early otherwise gl getting in right away xD

Also transfer before

Because server ques can be over 1.5k easy

[oak gyro]

That's a really interesting game community culture. I love things like that existing.

[bleak pike]

On club event servers

[small comet]

i dont play ffxiv actively atm

u know that cal

[bleak pike]

Am just saying

It's one of the main reasons I play atm

The community

[bleak pike]

Nooooo

[fading spade]

wait wait....

Black Ops 3 on disk is LITERALLY JUST THE MAIN MENU

[bleak pike]

Are you really surprised?

[fading spade]

It needs a COD account and internet to download the game .-.

[bleak pike]

Whet

You don't need a cod account

[fading spade]

YES
CAUSE PEOPLE BUY THE DISC CAUSE THEIR INTERNET SUCKS

Mostly

[bleak pike]

No

You don't need a cod account

[fading spade]

Yeah ok, I guess not

But if you go buy the fucking disk, that means your internet is too slow to bother waiting a week for 100GB to download

and now you need to do it anyway cause the disk doesnt have the game .-.

[orchid prism]

Welcome to a decade ago.

[oak gyro]

Honestly not surprised after the PlayStation fiasco. Some PlayStation games, even if you have the disk, require you to download the game. Screwed up but that's the new thing for some reason.

[fading spade]

.-.

RIP game preservation

[oak gyro]

Pirates always find a way.

Just need to sail the seven seas some more.

[orchid prism]

Two issues with that complaint.

1. You're not going to fit 100GB on a DVD. Or a BD.
2. Back when games still HAD game data on them, it was/is all encrypted by Steam. The discs have been worthless for "preservation" for over a decade.

[oak gyro]

Most of the time games get preserved because people find ways to bypass the DRM and rip the disk. The same can be done with downloaded games if you're dedicated enough.

[fading spade]

ohhh

https://youtu.be/rN0G_J27JO8 literally .-.

[oak gyro]

I can't remember what it's called but I know there is a disc type that has more storage than a Blu-Ray disc.

[bleak pike]

Still bluray

[solar lily]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray#BDXL

The BDXL format allows 100 GB and 128 GB write-once discs, and 100 GB rewritable discs for commercial applications. The BDXL specification was finalised in June 2010 but the first 128 GB quad-layer discs were not released until November 2018, and these discs are currently sold only in Japan.

Nothing changed in two years?

[oak gyro]

Oh, that's what it was called. BDXL. Somehow never clued in that it was still Blu-Ray.

https://www.kurzweilai.net/next-gen-optical-disc-has-10tb-capacity-and-six-century-lifespan

Seems interesting. Research that shows 10TB capacity optical drives is possible.

[orchid prism]

Sounds like a pain to write to 😄

[solar lily]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray

while retail game releases on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 video game consoles may be natively printed onto 100GB UHD Blu-ray discs.

[fading spade]

That sounds like a fun idea honestly.

tf

that plan already falls under the not possible category when you realize disney could just buy epic games as they are public companies and disney is worth over 10x as much

[fading spade]

Yes

but Disney use Unreal Engine

Which is leased from Epic Games

[fringe salmon]

and they would not be able to use the thing they buy?

[stuck apex]

Waiting for Tencent to buy disney

[fading spade]

tbf, this episode just talks about how much power Epic has with Unreal engine

Not much to do with Disney

[fringe salmon]

so not just a bad clickbait but also inaccurate, cool

[stuck apex]

I wish epic games would buy me

[fringe salmon]

also I dont quite think they could buy disney

they are big but not that much bigger

[stuck apex]

if they did buy disney however

would we get fortnite at disney parks

[novel umbra]

disney also used unity before

for similar purposes

they can swap back again if they wanted to

they could switch to blender eevee if they wanted to as well

[fringe salmon]

plus they own pixar who have their own arsenal on rendering tools

rendermen? rendertoy? something like that

[stuck apex]

Rendermen sounds fun, go with that

oh wait

it's literally what it's called

renderman

[novel umbra]

yes

that is not real time though

they could make a real time one

[fringe salmon]

pretty much

like they have enough smart people who know rendering to do a better copy of what unreal can offer, if they would be forced to

[novel umbra]

but blender is prob the way to go

since it only needs some modifications

which prob already exist

and has 0 fees attached

[fringe salmon]

or just make use of the existing license and make a fork of an unreal version they use for internal use

[novel umbra]

yea

obv

disney probably does not want to be reliant on epic forever though

[fringe salmon]

I meant that as incase epic would somehow want to control them, just take a fork of what you have, throw out the parts you dont need and make it your own tool

no need to rely on epic after that point, if they would be forced to do so

[novel umbra]

sounds like amazon

I can feel the pain of their devs

if they decide to use lumberyard for real time movie stuff

[fringe salmon]

ehh, I mean in this case unreal already has what they need and in this hypothetical scenario they are cut off from taking the updates and have to work with it and make their own updates

quite different and much easier

[novel umbra]

oh yea for sure

I mean amazon will inevitably look for something

and if they don't choose epic they will choose lumberyard

most likely at least

which will be a pain

[fringe salmon]

yea

I mean, they could also use unity depending what they want to make and how long in the future they are looking for it

[novel umbra]

I hope for the sanity of their visual artists that they do

[fringe salmon]

lots of things came to unity when pixar used it, so they are fairly willing to implement things for big users

[novel umbra]

obv

but amazon also likes being cheap when they can

[fringe salmon]

I mean, there all 3 are kinda a wash

unity and unreal are most definitely willing to give them the best deal and if they use lumberyard they dont get free extra devs from the engines

so as long as whoever is budgeting it has a hint of knowledge or is asking people who know it, that wont sway it either way
