I need some new reaction memes.
oh it does blur the line, and i have no arguments about that
but we both agree it was poorly implemented
it was a gimmick, not a twist on the gameplay
thats all lol
Gimmicks are alright when they're fun options. But jesus christ wirebugs are incredibly detrimental to the experience of monster hunter (imo)
were you a toxic tank or were you a tank that used poison and biohazards

im just here to code and have fun
well since i've found a fellow in arms when it comes to monhun. I would like you to rate my current "first" project (thanks @ionic flame
if you've seen it, otherwise let me know i'll send a link
not for nothin, im wary of clicking links in public spaces
No worries i get it
its just a personal philosophy, i grew up on that 2000s internet ๐
i'll send a quick pic
oh my.
you're damn right about that
note that i said "first project"
im still struggling
Rome wasn't built in a day
some people perfer to focus on graphics and art first, others like to stare at grey boxes until their eyes bleed
and some people are working with GAS WHICH HAS BEEN SLOWLY DRIVING THEM MAD
They were born toxic
oh im rolling with it, its a slog but its workin
i was barely making it with bps and introducing cpp was not a good idea
Is... Is that me ๐ข
without putting a sob story on a public discord, this year has been a really kick in the regions and its been going pretty poorly
ive been living on a spiteful motto and its workin for me
lol
Here, have a cat lady
">implying that will stop me" has been my motto and im doing a lot :U
Heres a pitch, how would you like to help us get this project to a playable state?
meow
i must respectfully decline, for now.
mostly because i am still learning unreal myself and i could not bring myself to bog down anothers work
No worries - I'm always looking for someone better to help me
Have you tried Rider?
MJ is wild man
(he did tried ^)
i wonder what the tech behind it is
There is even a #generative-ai dedicated here.
oh i knew that lol
theres a huge group of cheap slave labour who paint the images you see
KEK
It's a diffusion model I'm pretty sure, it's quite interesting
This explains thing
Actually this is true
On it ๐
i wanted to fit in
same tech google uses for search
actually if thats the case, google has been using us to teach their bots for years now with that captcha system
so are we the cheap labour?
mmm bps
So, there is someone quickly browsing the net for my search?
meme-worthy
See even MidJourney knew aiming for the mid was better
hah
Search up VQGAN+CLIP
not sure if MJ is based on it but it is interesting
^ long gone, talking to himself
I shall name him Dogen
Painting code?
Everyone who tried, knows that.
Can AI debug the code?
I have a business idea then. Put two AIs, one writing, the other debugging.
and put developers out of business?
"can a robot write symphony?"
the future is now, old man
and write consitutions
in the future, entertainment will be randomly generated
IT ALREADY IS HAHAHA
AI meme generation
Im convinced that bobby and unity's ceo are from the same frat house
Ahh EA
ruining CnC like it was nothing
destoying westwood
EA is pretty good in making money.
thats only because their target market is good with spending money
predatory practices just makes it easier
isnt that patreon and kickstarter?
Thats crowdfunding
I'm looking at the actual corporate side of things
Publishers, investment first, etc
maybe try investing in a game publisher ๐
Honestly at this point, I have more resources to be a publisher than a developer
Blue Man Group is an American performance art company formed in 1987. It was purchased in July 2017 by the Canadian company Cirque du Soleil. Blue Man Group is known for its stage productions, which incorporate many kinds of music and art, both popular and obscure. Its performers, known as Blue Men, have their skin painted blue. They are mute du...
and that makes me sad. because i wanna make games.
How good are you at playing the drums bm?
But sometimes I want to invest in games that I see here and there and have no idea where to approach them because emails aren't responded to and discord msgs are ignored, so this could be a good solution
For a small indie game with a great hook, 5000 dollars would go a long way
and 5000 dollars is an easy amount to raise
well there is alot more to it than just giving money, like contract ownership
But we can't discuss that if they don't even respond
discord is not really the place to discuss such things anyway Id say, thats why they have their DMs blocked
I never start a conversation by going "hey do you need X amount of dollars?"
I ask if they need financial, legal, and structural support
I mean just hiring an international lawyer to write up a contract can cost more than 5gs
thats kinda why we have crowdfunding
you're being scammed if u pay 5gs
yeah this is already sounding dodgy to me, good luck
its illegal here to tell someone they dont need a lawyer to look over a contract btw ๐
thanks for the heads up but that wasnt mentioned
ofcourse u need someone to look at it
but paying 5gs for one is insane
pay em their rates to look over it
wont cost over 500 dollars for a real in depth look
Don't tell me what to do, I can use that money for chair pillows.
Well in any case, a channel to discuss where to start looking for a publisher, or if anyone knows about any form of funding would probably be great too
local law applies but so does the local jurisdiction of the person youre signing the contract with
tho i predict it'll most probably be filled with "How do I apply for the EpicMegaGrant?"
It also has to be stipulated within the contract as to where it would be enforced
some countries dont even recognise common law
and then agreed upon by both parties
There are good pillows there, occasionally.
thats a whole nother can of worms
thats why Im not a lawyer
thats not even touching international transactions and merchant accounts
yea that might work, although to test it I might have to risk a strike lmao
crowd funding solves alot of this or investing in an existing publisher with all these mechanisms in place
I shoulda taken the 5gs an ran right ๐
Dude posted on #969360633386655744 , but got whirl pooled here.

Im still trying to navigate this huge server lmao
I watched a thing about Rust, I don't understand what is so good about it.
i mean its an idea, if it doesn't go anywhere - us game devs are used to that ๐ฌ
We need to make our own. Promote hard.
its got a nice patina
nah its the update called re:verse
I think it got stuck in endless reverse loop
Anybody ever got existential crisis from doing captcha?
The bot said I'm not human enough if I cannot solve its riddles...

I've never solved a captcha in my life

slid right into that one
Just like a segway to the ban hammer.
it's safe it doesn't trigger the automod
now I wanna see a mod on a segway swinging a ban hammer
try midjourney
keep in mind it's real bad with hammers
Lttsto... wait, wrong forum...
I think nowadays people need less jesus
imagine Jesus on a segway with a ban hammer
i wonder what midjourney thinks jesus looks like
I'll pay a dollar for that, can you gimme 3 dollar cashback?
i only accept hugs and give out hugs
Lemme guess, just come from the 24th century? Welcome federation fellow.
well it's a tank
direct foot massage
direct massage with foot or direct messaging foot?
Shut up and take my money ๐ฐ
20 finger typing
main feature is the borrow checker, guaranteeing memory safety at compile time
and it's still fast af
and has nice package manager
and has some functional support
but definitely the memory safety is the big selling feature
Memory issues I have with UEs garbage collector. Hardly been an issue requiring more than a minute of a fix.
Package manager... That... controversial and ain't gonna work easy in such a big and sensitive environment as cpp is used
Functional support... Buzzword mostly, aint bad, but ain't critical
the functional is definitely a nice to have
and I guess the packages just grow with usages, same with c++ libraries I guess
and about the memory, the thing is there is no garbage collector in Rust
that's the whole point
so you have extreme maximum speed and memory optimization
but yeah, if you don't have something where speed and memory safety is a major factor, definitely ignore Rust, cause those things come at a cost of developer experience
This whole time i thought they were referring to the game
life is a game
my life is rusty, where do I get a new one?
damn, another ban
For the packaging I can imagine some useful cases, say the python's ones. I can't imagine any other so multiplatform and used around. Then corps can have their own servers... well, it can be a mess.
wait who got banned this time ๐ฎ
anyway, I don't see much benefits ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
what do you mean by this?
Do you have someone in mind?
it's like NuGet for C# kinda
noo, not gonna repeat
ok
but I dont like memory management or manually handling packages ๐ฆ
my first day here i witnessed 2 bans, 3 strikes and one of them was me
I mean, coming up with multiplatform, abi neutral, wide-spread, agreed on package manager ain't easy
wtf I'm talking about they can't agree on abi, because corps and big players have their interest. Which ain't bad.
c# is sorry, but too limited
it can't compare with c++ in terms of target support
it barely has something working on linux likes, not sure about macos
.NET is fully cross platform?
you say that but getting that support from C++ costs alot of programmers time
As of late. Microsoft only interested in.
it used to be shit with .NET Core, but now everything is just .NET
I would argue if any other language had that sort of grit behind it, it would feature match C++ and then some
.net is not so muiltiplatform, nor so many targets are supported for with. Nor so many corps (and their interest) agree on.
Lets see how Googles crabon arise
if you say so I guess
carbon*
give Carbon what 40 odd years ๐
the half life of carbon is only 5730 years
but C+ + wasnt even good after 20
true
carbon life forms are so primitive
here I am using UE written in Visual Basic
even Carmack wasnt using C++ until Doom 3 ๐
C rulz
Use vb.net
Is your game running in Excel?
maybe thats what we need is a stripped down version of C++ called --C
kill it with fire
Looks like pitchfork
--E
--#
C-- exists ๐ค
yeah but in this case the -- comes before C
that way it cleans up some old C stuff too
That name gonna be hard to search using modern search engine~
just call it "C lean"
or lean C
whats wrong with Clean
It is C 3d
C4D is better
They are light years ahead.
just use CD
CleanD also works
we can also use D Light and it sounds like diet coke

hey sk0g is back!
Hey there stranger.
did you repent at the church of tim sweeney
Had to uninstall the Unity launcher to repent
atleast you got more space now!
This is the way of righteous, approved.
At least 1 Megascans' worth
well well if it isnt mr tatts himself
now we can all hug as partners in crime!
rip, server join date reset
will the real sk0g please stand up
nah, your old messages are still there from same account
my notes are also there
Nice, bro love
so maybe it's a different person possesing the same account
Does your note say "sickest person around"? If not, it should
These notes ๐
is it terminal?
I'm the ratatouille game dev, a different mouse jumps into my hat to pilot me every day

@broken sigil have you seen this? Feels like you'd love it
https://twitter.com/joyrok/status/1554599789647372288
So I was generating some pretty interesting portraits on #midjourney to abuse in my materials and then I plugged them into the ASCII + SDF material. I'm in love.
Oh damn that's really cool
A Matrix/ hackerman game could use this technique so well!
when is the @TBA in your bio going to be A'd @broken sigil
Hopefully this year
I will keep my eye on #announcements for this ๐
Nah it won't be in #announcements ๐
atleast it has approach
#awesome-BlueMan?
I thought we didn't have that one
...yet
lol
I think #generative-ai would be closer for BM announcements
๐ซ
For lunch, pizza with lentils. Is bland.
like nothing else on the pizza?
other veggies. I added a bit of mozzarella.
pepper & onion are the other, dunno what else
why is format on save not a built in option in visual studio?
are you making the pizza, or adding toppings to a frozen za?
what is this madness
because VS
VSCode does it though ๐ญ
VSCode is so much nicer to work with imo, only the intellisense is better in VS
working on non unreal project btw, to clarify
I find vscode too mouse oriented
and it doesn't have a documentation tool window like intellij idea does ๐
Ctrl+P lets you search for about every action, while also displaying its keyboard shortcut. If there is none, you can bind it too.
ctrl shift p is command pallet
ctrl p is just file search
tbh if VS had that fast file search it would already be way nicer
cant deny vs is heavy, if vsc gets more features, it may become as much heavy.
isn't ctrl+shift+; that?
oh wait that's my fin layout keyboard, might not make sense to others ๐
doesn't do anything for me
there's ctrl + q, which is fast, but the results are garbage
the only useful thing in VS is ctrl + T to find symbols
wow thanks, those are gonna save me so much time
ur welcome dieter, wat r u even gonna do with all that time now!!!!1!
blue man has jedi minds tricks confirmed???
I would've been chilling in here today but one of my gaming frens wasn't working today, and he convinced me to try Sea of Thieves haha
and now, it's almost 4 am ๐ฅฑ
I've been meaning to try it for at least 3 years now lol
Theres a new season starting in two days. Its pretty fun.
Its harder than I expected tho lol
But I understand that lol
I've probably put it off for a similar amount of time.
I just started playing horizon zero dawn, I bought it almost a year ago ๐
I never finished it
I'm liking it so far
You don't wanna know how many games I've bought this year xD
My steam account is gonna be so lit in like 25 years tho lmao
(assuming it still exists)
I've heard good things about horizon zero dawn. Haven't heard much criticism either.
Seems solid all round
Ive stopped impulse buying on Steam sales, I mean when games are at regular marked price ๐
You havent searched hard enough ๐ On other hand, go enjoy.
so fair lol, I will probably give it a try at some point here.
spammy roll roll spam roll spam roll
I kinda have a bunch of games wish listed and then just sorta wait for them to release (or not, some are indie/early access/dubious lol)?
idk
or go on sale i guess
I only buy games when I intend to play it immediately after buying
I think I bought some cheap games in the past with the intent of playing them later which then never happened, so I'm just not doing that anymore :P
Ah yeah fair.
My games backlog is filled with a hundred games I've got for free from random places already anyway lol
yeah eh ๐ค
I wanted to get Stray but I knew I wouldnt play it right away
and any game that I don't intend to play right away just goes into that list and while I've played a few games from there the size of it certainly isn't going down much lol
Thats one thing that frustrates me with MP is you gotta buy in and stay locked in, you cant really just play in your own time because these live service things change over time
It's awesome, finished it recently
I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being GOTY
it's really fun if you find some friends to play with
playing SoT alone is kinda meh
Ah yes, friends
The mysterious word
is this elden ring?
maybe you can teach your parot to game
if it can ever move
Lok
Horizon Zero Dawn seems to have inherited the same spam roll
Horizon zero dawn was nice for a bit
but got repetitive for me at some point
I really wanna play Stray, but I wanna finish Death Stranding first, and probably will buy the new ps plus with game collection then, it has it included
I like the little details like flipping the normals on foliage at night to give it that moonlight glow
but I haven't gamed in a while
ah yeah it looks really nice though
just got a bit tired of the running back and forth and killing dinosaurs
really amazing fabrics too
I'm playing it on max difficulty, I like the challenge so far (or the pain, can't tell)
And the story seems interesting, I'm 4 hours in so far
killing the dinosaurs was tricky on console, must be so much easier on kb/m
Oh yeah it definitely is
oh idk, played on my ps5
I need to learn to waste less time on youtube and play some more games again ๐
I'm at the point where you kill the first saber robot thing
pick the right game and you can do both at the same time ๐
the big one?
not as enjoyable
I usually watch most story based games on YT but I avoided watching anything on Stray because I really wanted to play it myself and I'm glad I did, it's awesome
Yeah, the first big one
I just watched some reviews on Stray, but don't want to look deeper
that one was kinda fun, but also surprisingly easy
I was just playing on normal diff though
I like the traps, its alittle bit different to just shoot the bullet sponge until it falls over
The story and the whole setting is awesome, I almost wanna play again (I finished it like a week ago)
Ah yeah I'm playing on hardest possible, it was a bit of a challenge
Not too bad tho
also, damn HZD had so much dialogue
didn't wanna skip any at the start but also don't want to play a 600 hour game
Stray reminds me so much of the good old games from PS2 like Jak and Dexter
That's why I like it this much probably
It was so refreshing to play it, very different than anything else that's been coming out in the recent years
๐ง ๐ด ๐ด ๐ฒ
I like that they're basically kids talking to each other here. It's adorable.
Birds have their own lives.
I saw a cashier at a supermarket have a dope mohawk
You pretty much never see anything like that at supermarkets so I had to tell him "cool mohawk" lol
so there's already a website trying to cash in on dall-e https://promptbase.com/
selling prompts? You can own one?
That's the question isn't it
I think a unique combination of words is actually copyrightable yeah
If it was a sufficiently complex phrase I guess in theory yeah
Something like "big dog" probably not lol
Is mine, mine! Pay me now or I will sue.
what if I took all the words in Pulp Fiction, rearranged them in a different order to tell a new story, is that copying? ๐
that's a fanfic
so transformative work
remember when software was cool and hip, when someone would make an open source site for prompts
the prompt bay 
got teletubbies out there dropping more than it costs to buy a second hand Lambo on pay to win... sad world
FOSS will never stop being a thing
It costs 15 dollars to generate about 100 images on Dall-e 2.0
If you're trying to tweak the result just right it's not great I think
It's a lot more predictable in how changing the prompt affects the result at least in my experience vs Midjourney which also has a similar pricing model iirc, so at least that's positive about it
Waiting for more competitors to jump in. Not giving more than 100 cents for 100 images.
what sort of computer is this AI stuff running on?
4090?
wouldnt it be some sort of super computer, that stuff you usually pay for what you use right
Well, you said, is cheap labour in 3rd world country.
Nah, data centres can't use consumer cards, contractually
I think zoombapup on #gameplay-ai mentioned that dalle mini might run almost on consumer gpus
mostly a question of vram
Tell me is written in Java.
Python + C++ most probably
dalle 2.0 is obviously a lot bigger model than mini (and probably bigger than midjourney) so it will probably require more hardware
DE Mini requires 20+ GB VRAM IIRC
I'm a scrub when it comes to the upper tier NN stuff, but wonder if shared memory (SAM/ reBAR) would allow NNs to use the RAM as well
It sounds slow as fuck however, considering how the work requires a lot of memory bndwidth
20 aint much
You can even get a free cloud GPU to try it out, through Google Collab. Used it for my NN work so I could game while waiting for training lol
Someone did the painful work of pruning it down though
https://github.com/kuprel/min-dalle
Oh hey you're back
TYTY, good to be lounging again. I took it to heart and stayed off the couch in the living room too, for the role play
Not normally I don't think, which is kind of a shame IMO. UE without Slackers is pain
90 secs? That affordable.
y u spam free notro linkz yo
well Im still here... somehow
The T4 is actually pretty meh too, not sure what it's consumer alternative is, but it's like a 2070 with more VRAM or something
It's a bit annoying how windows based machines on AWS are always billed by the hour
As opposed to Graviton?
I was messing around with some UE screenshotting stuff using an AWS GPU instance
Have you tried.... Linux?
it would take a few minutes tops to run but it always bills you for the full hour because that's how Windows hosts are billed
Oh Windows, I for some reason thought it was x64 related
There was some reason the linux option wasn't gonna work... partially because I don't have a crosscompile toolchain setup for it and I don't think it'd even work lol
What's the workload?
Huh?
Is this for a ML related task? Guessed that due to the context of the previous convo, but not sure
oh nah
just run my game, take a screenshot, exit
(and upload screenshot to elsewhere)
Oh right, that's a cool task though, could also add some functional testing in the meanwhile ๐ง
Yeah the idea was to have it procgen some stuff and just take screenshots of that basically
I have a basic system which generates random video tape box art and stuff like that, so just wanted to have something that would automatically do that say once a week and post it on twitter for fun
I got it mostly working but then I didn't do the twitter posting part of it because I got bored of fiddling with it lol
The Twitter posting is probably the easy part TBH. Just dump them to some accessible cloud folder, at the end of your Friday or whenever take a look, pick the best one and post it with a caption. Can capitalise on trends and the likes that way too
ew, manual labour
I wasn't even gonna look at which of them was good lol
Exactly this
If I was gonna look at them before they got posted I could just do it manually from the start lol
when is king of tapes releasing
Well then, Twitter do have API access after all
Struggling a bit on the direction on it
Yeah that's not hard, it's just that OAuth 2 is annoying
Yeah was working on my boomer shooter project for a while as that's another one of those that goes on a few month hiatuses lol
My other friend I work on that with activated on it again so made some progress on that
I've landed on digging a perspective that's in-between third person and isometric, and I don't know what to call it (or where to look at other games for 'case study')
I think OG Witcher had something similar in combat, but that combat was... weird
wait, but third person can perfectly be isometric
they're not really related
how can it be in between then
Third person as in Witcher 2 & 3, Dark Souls, God of War (new), etc. Over the shoulder views
yeah
but isometric is just not perspective
so you could have isometric over the shoulder
Oh yeah, not going to even try the ortho projection, would look wacky
wait so what does it look like?
what do you mean by isometric then?
that sideways top down view?
Like this, you can rotate sideways but that's it. Maybe add zoom scrolling
a 30 degree downwards angle towards the player
I don't really think that's called isometric
but I get what you mean
so how does it work, like this when running around and over shoulder in combat?
Not properly no, which is why I'm not sure what it could be called. It's not over the shoulder either, since you can't change the vertical angle
Nah it's this throughout, zooms out when you're running though
and it's way too high to start off with too
Maybe something like orcs must die?
isometric projection is where there are no vanishing point like perspective projection
ta-dadada
wait that just regular 3rd person
Technically yes, in practice... not so much TBH
Like people call Diablo III isometric, but it's got perspective distortion. Ortho is nicer for 2D though
At this point it seems to just refer to either projection with the 30 degree vertical angle
damn gamers
dumb ass gamers
For isometric? I think it originally was a lot more than that. 30 degree downwards angle, faces all at 45 degree angles if not running along the camera line, ortho projection, and probably some other things.

Over time gamers did gamer things, because to hell with words, they should mean nothing
this might be a ref @noble plaza
well we are game developers so maybe we should use correct terminology to teach the gamers ๐
The prophet
Nice one, that seems interesting. It's got a 60 degree vertical angle from my estimations, which is also tidy. Close ish to top down, I'd like combat to be a bit more 'personal' if that makes any sense.
Minutiae are harder to tell from the distance and projection properties of more elevated cameras.
Could create that experience with a dynamic camera that zooms in during combat
if its too "personal" at all times it might feel claustrophobic
Ah fair, yeah that makes sense. Ortho is infinite distance, zero FOV basically, so big distance/ low FOV does seem like the logical in-between point ๐ค
It is all floating points.
This game looks sick, TY. Its like brutal Diablo, which is somewhat similar to my project's aspirations
unless its vanishing points
np, i pride myself on knowing really weird and specific references. or at least try to
hope it helps
you've definitely taken a look at poe right?
Yeah played a a few seasons, haven't finished one after my very first. Game's such a drag when you're trying to finish the story. Then you have to do it all over again... ๐ฆ
you mean edgar allen poe right /s
I had this with diablo, first playtrhough is a lot of fun, but then it's just grinding and repeating the same shit over and over
I guess some people like it
working on a few procedural dungeons myself to create a game of a similar genre
DIII at least you can skip it! You can power level to 70 in like half an hour, plus the story is optional. PoE, I don't think so
Screw end game mapping
wait I thought you only had art
side projects are allowed :p
but then you just skip straight to the grinding?
this one is just me making something for the sake of learning and making something
It's the one grind I enjoy TBH, but I am just aiming for top 1000 in-season, then stop till next one.
Like if you don't like the story or grinding for good loot, ARPGs are probably not for you. ARPG grind isn't as soul crushing as MMO ones IMO, there's at least some fun to be had. Plus the gameplay is just smooth and juicy, so good
MMO is fun when playing with friends though
last MMO I played with my friends was ultima online
needs more branching son
is this because you don't have friends anymore?
Fair, I wouldn't really know TBH. I've played Runescape and that was it, but only ever played with friends too
man owning in WoW arenas was very much fun
MMOs peaked with Club Penguin
and I stopped playing
runescape*
at school we always mocked the few people who played runescape
Chad game confirmed
well. at least it wasnt an isolated incident
our school was the other way around
we shat on people who didn't play RS
not literally
you guys had computers in school?
I went between the sporty and nerdy people due to well, the way I was, and ended up having to split my time between CoD and RS as a result haha
Oh and Counter Strike. Even my grandma knew about Counter Strike.
Yeah? IT guy allowed us to play CS if we let him install it too, he didn't want us dumping games in ourselves for security reasons
@sand oxide so fun fact for you: Since Laura/Laurel come from laurels representing victory, Victoria/Victor are kind of the same name as Laura. (I'm sure there are also other names that also mean victory)
Nicholas and Sieg* names too - Siegfried, etc
Hey there Eren
oh yeh I did know about those... good point
Never reached to commodore, these were almost non-existent around.
My first game was tic tac toe, had to write it myself. And you were able to override the previous squares. It had bugs.
Where I come from our "Hi" literally is wishing someone victory lol.
As in the native alternative translates to wishing someone victory anyway. Words are hard, sentences evern more so
of course there's also Nike
she's the goddess of victory (also where Nicholas comes from)
ancient greeks
Ancient Greek
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_(mythology)
That's a person in modern times Adolf "Adi" Dassler
uuh, oke
Nike's "swoosh" is a V for victory
Two or three German brothers basically invented sportswear apparently
that's why all Germans live in exclusively track suits (obviously)
I don't trust Germans, they call some rando energy drink mate (the South American tea), like that's an acceptable substitute.
That and serving 1L wheat beers alongside food as if human stomachs can handle it
hahaha
I dunno about all that but I come from the US and we don't exactly eat small portions typically
Facts aren't fun if you already know them? I was just giving your army some ammo lol

what exactly is that ๐ค
real aruals will know
nerds
now i am sad
hug me
i will swallow ice cubes now do it
oh I will and when I'm done none of you will be writing anything
i wish we wouldn't be writing
actions speak louder!
think of all the people with reading difficulties
A 1/10 - Horrible depiction of a cattle head
you should go in lounge voicechat then AU
was anybody taking side bets
VC degraded even further, not that use them
obviously that guy has never see a naked woman
he didn't, he admitted
wait wait so vc is less subject to bans?
well how you gonna prove what someone said if no mod is there
Is there something interesting going in VCs?
There should be a level of trust for known server regulars tbh
no
Otherwise it's impossible to police VC
I heard Dieter in VC say Unity was better than Unreal 
I want to hear about the secret of universe.
apparently fights and bad takes
ah
public VC is and always has been for weirdos imo
the universe doesn't exist
wake up neo
everybody knows that
It is interesting how these who do VC are not at all in the corresponding # channel and vice verse
How I imagine sane people in public VCs
you just called all vc-ers weirdos
but i understand
the new wwe is interesting
you kinda can't multitask while in vc
the mods also vc
I said what I said
hug me
no
what why not?
I don't exist... didn't you read Ben's post
you do
who is ben?
you are the only thing that exists
I long suspected this
you are welcome
hug yourself
I'm not very original, I should be able to come up with better characters than you guys
That sounds like a weird insult along the lines of "touch grass"
he cant
the grass isn't real
hugs dont exist either
then, touch yourself?
He's just got huge lats and pecs, his arms don't bend that much anymore
he doesn't have a body to touch
it's only the ego that exists
surely that's big enough though
big is just something that was made up
embrace your ego!
a concept, nothing real
yeh to make my ego feel bigger
let me stroke your ego
wanna trade that meowth for a magikarp?
meow or moth?
l ll ll lL
pfist *?
close your eyes then you see what you gonna get
the void
but seriously i thought we were great buds ! so let's..!
rub butts?
me assuming that means your ego assumed that
no
damn why not
we can't see each other really while doing that
but well depending on how i suppose it's possible
either way it's a no
Maybe not being able to see is a core tenet of hugging, since it demonstrates you trust the person enough to get close to them while not being able to see them
Kinda like handshakes demonstrate you're not holding a dagger or something
how did you miss this opportunity SMH
Clearly seen is everyone running away in terror
it's dieter's fault for showing me that sad thing
so you want a hug but don't want to rub butts?
so you want to do that but not hug ? that's more weird right?!
seems pokemon event was earlier
๐ค
This kind of r rated talk is how some of you got banned yesterday wasn't it ๐ค

It was worse
this is PG at worst
Imma stay away from anything even remotely objectionable though
Sigh ๐
!8ball have you played pokemon?
@soft night, :8ball: My sources say no.

@soft night, :8ball: Yes.
@proud jay, :8ball: It is decidedly so.
those emotes look similar
!8ball hug
@deep copper, :8ball: As I see it, yes.
!8ball you like affectionate_user?
@soft night, :8ball: Don't count on it.
!8ball love me
@deep copper, :8ball: Signs point to yes.
"it is decidedly so" would've been more fitting
!8ball Would you lie just to keep AU at bay?
@trail wedge, :8ball: Very doubtful.
!8ball hug xero
@deep copper, :8ball: My reply is no.
?!
!8ball would you like to marry AU?

Yeah, the hangover sucked but I had Gatorade on hand so all good
albeit, traumatized
JW4 when 
Jehovah's Witness 4?
Hey that's the Cyberpunk dude 
You mean the bill & ted dude?
nooo thats Fortnite guy
get your facts straight sk0g 
He looks like he can stop bullets though ๐ค
is he cooler than manny on hug?
hugs are not welcome
at least no random hugs
The only good hug is a dead hu... wait, wrong movie
All hugs must be announced with at least 2 working days of notice
never seen BH6
you're 90% annoying can you leave
Is Bryan the most average name? I swear Bryans just don't exist in entertainment
I know a Bryner
I know no Bryan or Bryner
You know nothing, Jon Sn--- oh wait wrong movie again
wait Bryan Cranston
Brynรธst ๐๐๐
I mean for characters, it just feels like a dull name for some reason
It's not lol, the only Bryan I knew chose the name himself (he was Chinese)
well I guess people are less racist if they see Bryan
why Bryan though
Chinese people in general choose an Anglo name when they move here for some reason
what is move hearing?
The funniest is a coworker of mine changed his last name, from Lim to... Lin
damn sick
some #gameplay-ai Perception system?
Autocor-rekt
I knew a guy called Jabba Tevdorasvily, he changed it to Lucas Demeester to sound more dutch
but it's also so much more boring
but he did notice less racism
Wait was he Georgian? That sounds like a Georgian name
yeah he is
Fuck yeah
yes that definitely sounds like a real name
It's my mum's maiden name ๐
I wonder how come Georgians managed to keep their very unique names and languages in an area like Caucaus
She spells it differently every time, I swear
Especially after around 80 years of Soviet occupation
for example in Kazakhstan Russian names are very common even though there was a very strong Turkish culture
Yeah in the USSR you'd be assigned that generic ass parental name, but people resented it and they gave into adding it on as a second last name. Then we broke the USSR
X the letter no body agrees about... does it make a "eck"/"eks" sound like in English... is it an "h" sound like the Spanish Xavior ("ha"-"vi"-"aire", not "ex"-"aee"-"vi"-"or").... or is it "kh" I guess in this case?
When I was young and dumb I had the most awkward experience ever, I woke up in Almaty as the flight attendant was passing us by. For some reason I asked my mum "why are we in China?" after seeing the flight attendant, but in Russian (I was practicing it at the time for whatever reason).
I got a VERY intense glare back.
Or sometimes z. X truly is a mystery character!
shhh don't give out my secrets
You sound like you travelled around the world a lot lol
Maybe it's like a wildcard, do whatever you want with it, but use it because it's a tidy shape
Parents from two different countries, extended families everywhere. Yeah we travelled and visited family lots haha
are you some dyntasy or something ๐
X can also be ch, but canโt really think of English prononciation example
I'm sk0g sk0gsson IIIV
But like the greek letter chi
Tai Xi
good example
Xi is "ch-ee" in that case
Further demonstrating X truly is a mystery character
"huh"-"l"-"oooo"
Why does Multiversus want me to log into a WB games account. Who even has one?!
That's because Russian does not have an h, so it's either normal X or g in its stead
Ukrainian, confusingly, does. Always surprises me
that's weird... h is nothing like x or g in english
yeah but pronounced like something of a heavy h
I can't type Cyrillic but that's the g character in place of h
Can't say I've noticed that difference tbh, but you may be right
Garry Potter
man if only you knew Dutch, the sound would be so much easier to explain
I just try to speak German with my mouth full right?
maybe with a lisp too
as long as it sounds german
everything sounds German if you say it wearing a Pickelhelm
i wish i got any of those references ๐
I've been lectured on your g ever since I pronounced Gaarden as the English garden lol, is that it?
everything sounds Dutch if you say it wearing wooden clogs
Dutch or Danish haha
buhahaha
Seems Iceland had another volcano go boom.
not really
the g prononciation depends on where in the word it goes
but also just on the word lol
why do people try to learn dutch lol
it makes no sense
don't get me started on dt in verbs
just to be safe , dutch = german right
no
Deutsch = German
Dutch = Language of the Netherlands and northern part of belgium aka Flanders
although Flanders dutch is more referred to as Flemish
you know it's a common language mistake when there's a wiki page about it https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dt-fout
ah then idk about it
oh it has english version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-rules
i recall that i had asked this before maybe but i don't remember the details ๐ค
dutchlore
like if you say "I find" it's "ik vind", but with you find it's "je vindt", but if you say do you find it's "vind je" where the T is gone again
but this rule depends on the verb your conjugating
I barely got mid grade in language theory at school
Too confusing, no iso standard with well defined api
cause there's a really where the root of a word ends on the letter in kofschip, the rule doesn't apply
obviously
lol, did not know foreigners called it soft ketchup
tbh if Dutch wasn't my mother tongue i's really hard to get
as a native you just feel it
well, some people
i thought you were from euzbekistan
got the important parts down atleast!
tbh if you wanna learn dutch, you might be better of learning swedish first
swedish is similar to flemish dialect in a lot of ways, but the grammar makes more sense
then step to Dutch if you hate yourself
I only learned swedish to get an internship
But then somehow I ended up in Finland anyway
Good thing they also have it as official language
Stuff like dรคrefter makes me think it'd be easy to learn, but Stockholm while nice for tech can be a bit weird to move to apparently. Plus housing ๐ฌ
Yeah housing in stockholm is impossible
Literal years of waiting time if you donโt know the right people
I'm guessing this is just for legal/immigration purposes? Don't think most people away from the border speak much Swedish
Yeah itโs just legal shit, afaik most fins donโt like speaking swedish
But I think they get some of it in high school
But I could request all my forms in swedish so thatโs nice
It's pointless mostly too, the moment people hear you stumble they switch to English just to save you the embarassment lol
Its like french in flanders, its an official language in belgium so we learn it, but most people prefer not to speak it
Cause we used to be oppressed by the french
Fuck the french
my french is pretty terrible, i learned some at school but most is gone cuz i hardly ever used it
I used my german a bit so thats a tad better
o/
My spelling in english is prolly better than my dutch cuz most my reading is in english
at one time fooled a finish guy into believing i spoke finish w/o knowing even 1 word ๐
he believed it for like 3 hours or so until he started a conversation in finnish and after 15 min i was like.... yea i dont understand finish at all ๐
@proud jay what language would EG the Belgian football team communicate in? I know the Frenchies typically have poorer Dutch than vice versa
was like a 3 person trip and the other guy was dutch aswell so we talked in english... when he answered a phone call i pretended to understand what it was about and repeated some of the word he used to my friend mixed in with dutch stuff
told him i worked in helsinki for a few years but that wasnt true ๐
so i fake explained to my dutch friend what the call was about and the guy fell for it

English lol, thereโs people that donโt speak either in there
