!8ball is affectionate_user a hired spy?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

[supple apex]

Aah...

[deep copper]

🤣

[supple apex]

Go figure~

[cold aspen]

makes sense

[deep copper]

if i was a spy i would try to be less suspicious

[cold aspen]

doesn't matter really

FBI can't meme

[deep copper]

and ask "normal" questions in #blueprint that go unanswered

[cold aspen]

this is actually a bad argument

"If I was"

[deep copper]

goes to show i am a terrible spy xD

[cold aspen]

"I would"

[supple apex]

It's your word against manny AU!
What a suspicious predicament...

[cold aspen]

maybe you're just caught

[deep copper]

!8ball manny you weirdo

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: You may rely on it.

[cold aspen]

HAHAHA!

!8ball Should I trust @deep copper?

[turbid spindle]

@cold aspen, :8ball: It is certain.

[cold aspen]

see

[deep copper]

!8ball am i a spy

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Outlook not so good.

[deep copper]

see

[supple apex]

!8ball manny, are you a spy? 😐

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: It is certain.

[supple apex]

We got james bond here people.

[cold aspen]

pic for good measure

[deep copper]

don't worry, manny doesn't delete

[cold aspen]

someone send the image to #gameplay-ai

or tag UEteam

[deep copper]

or #freelance-jobs so manny gets rich

we can take a small cut for letting manny go

[supple apex]

!8ball is affectionate_user, the persona, a spy manny?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: Yes.

[supple apex]

See.

[regal pecan]

A hired spy.

[deep copper]

when did this become a persona and why is this a spy

well you did say "a spy manny" 🤔

[regal pecan]

A spying male nanny?

[supple apex]

Should I say a spy mommy? 🤔

[deep copper]

i do not know what manny is to you so

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

[supple apex]

This is one of those rare events where manny actually say "yes" with a clear intention.

[cold aspen]

sus

[turbid spindle]

@cold aspen, :8ball: Don't count on it.

[deep copper]

Manny was just tired

[regal pecan]

That's something a spy would say.

[supple apex]

Doesn't seem like manny's on your side at the moment mr tank~

[regal pecan]

Or maybe that's what a manny would say.

[deep copper]

zenno called manny mommy and that's all, maybe it triggered Manny's motherly insticts

[cold aspen]

!8ball do you think I'll ever see my kids again?

[turbid spindle]

@cold aspen, :8ball: My reply is no.

[cold aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-falling-fast-gif-18043850

[supple apex]

Oh god... what did you do to manny? How come you know he's tired 😐
Sus...

[deep copper]

well, that's not something i can say here ~

[supple apex]

What's the number again, 9... 1... umm, 5?

[deep copper]

5?

[supple apex]

To call the police~

[deep copper]

911 i think

[supple apex]

Whoosh...

[deep copper]

that was the American number iirc

[supple apex]

This was an attempt to make an unfunny joke AU.

But anyway, glad to see lounge moving at a leisurely pace.

[supple apex]

Shouldn't have done drugs people.

[deep copper]

uhm, can you please explain? for the future!

you can be the antidote! our non toxic tank

[cursive crypt]

You are talking to yourself

[supple apex]

ANonToxicTankNoMore

[supple apex]

I thought we're all are 🤔
I don't see people around, just texts and meme...

[deep copper]

how many do you want me to have ?

i think atleast 0.01

[supple apex]

I just went to see some shibe videos just now, so at least 3 potats I guess.

[cursive crypt]

Oats gang here

[supple apex]

How bout you change to team green as well @cursive crypt ?

[cursive crypt]

wtf is team green?

[supple apex]

Scroll up, what color do you see on the pfps~

[supple apex]

!8ball is team green a coincidence manny?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: My sources say no.

[supple apex]

!8ball are you being a spy at the moment mr tank claim that you're a spy manny?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: You may rely on it.

[cursive crypt]

They make things go fart, I understand.

[supple apex]

Should probably eat mochi at the beginning of the year.

Make the rest of your year squishy and soft, and full of carbo diet.

[deep copper]

that sounds so adorable!

[supple apex]

What's your current diet plan mr tank?
(Irl diet, please don't say diesel)

[deep copper]

that's shocking

[supple apex]

You shoot tesla lightning from your cannon? Red alert style?

That actually sounds pretty healthy 🤔

And here I thought most programmers snacks on cup noodles all week...

[timber viper]

Did Mons close his account or am I not able to find him because Im on mobile but browser

Why lol

Why lol x2

[broken sigil]

I know, you do that to me too regularly

[deep copper]

hmmm, that will have to be checked by someone on a real pc

[timber viper]

I am also pinged in cpp but cant navigate to it

Probably gamedev TV again

[deep copper]

i can't search him up, but i did find him by moly so his avcount exists

account"

**

[supple apex]

I hope this isn't related to the fight several days ago.

[deep copper]

then,
I know, you do that to me too regularly

[deep copper]

which fight?!

[timber viper]

Left the server then. I was just returning back from Gallipoli and was going to share some Anzac momument photos ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[deep copper]

what notes did i had? psps?

[deep copper]

rip moly 😔

i should've hugged them more when they were here

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-tree-christmas-kid-funny-smirk-gif-19683948

[deep copper]

search moly, click on my message, his account should be above

[supple apex]

The fight that was triggered by the meme, well, dunno, probably just took some time off to clear the mind afterwards maybe.

[deep copper]

i guess I didn't trigger the autolaura yet

[deep copper]

memes trigger war?!

[timber viper]

@deep copper how about a challenge

[deep copper]

you know you could've trimmed the "about me" part 😅 , it's kinda embarrassing if it's that huge in a pic

[deep copper]

let's hear it!

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/the-room-2003-youre-tearing-me-apart-lisa-tommy-wiseau-johnny-gif-17945033

[timber viper]

If you can find me in this photo at first try I'll give you a hug

[deep copper]

i haven't done that in a long time now!

[deep copper]

you are there!

now hug

[broken sigil]

The room, the true marvel of storytelling and filmmaking lol

[deep copper]

a hug was the deal

[timber viper]

Which Turkish flag :evilpatrick:

[deep copper]

so i get to witness tank hug eren

[timber viper]

Cant afford a cookie, only hugs

[deep copper]

but your diet

[supple apex]

There goes the healthy diet 😅

[timber viper]

Didnt tell how big a single cookie

[broken sigil]

My umm s... AI life is great, here is a sneak peek

[timber viper]

I can sell my liver

No problemo

[deep copper]

actually do you guys really remember how eren looked like? it was only a tiny pic in the pfp

[broken sigil]

Antimatter goddess lol

[timber viper]

Lorash was also more cool

[broken sigil]

And an antimatter anime girl

[timber viper]

Laura is so tozic

Aaaaa so difficult to type damn mobile keyboard

[deep copper]

guess all the target practice is useful

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-patrick-star-gloves-slap-gif-17514643

[deep copper]

huh geh on myy lebel !

yo be careful, don't wanna get sk0g-ed

[timber viper]

What if all over mods also has angel kinks

Every other*

[broken sigil]

You never know 👀

[deep copper]

i mean, devilsd is already kinda devil / angel themed

[broken sigil]

They do look kinda good tho
I mean the images, not whatever you are thinking 😅

[deep copper]

devilsd was kinda cool here

[broken sigil]

You want grapes instead?

[timber viper]

Borderline troublemaker

[deep copper]

the trick is to not look at it for so long 😱

[timber viper]

No, no one wants grapes

Grapes suck

[deep copper]

try corn

ben also seems to like corn 🤔

[broken sigil]

I'm refining my dark angel formula still, it's just getting good

[deep copper]

just stay here all the time, why go to #cpp ? to answer landscape on tick questions?

[timber viper]

He takes his job serious

[supple apex]

How bout bright glowing devil?

[broken sigil]

This is lounge, please go back on topic

[broken sigil]

Writes down

[deep copper]

no wonder people spam gifs here, it's a privilege of lounge

[timber viper]

Jokes aside Im really wondering what drives devilsd's motivation to overseer this server and feel this amount of responsibility for anything goes against the rules

[deep copper]

yeah which is why we are posting hammers for appreciation!

[deep copper]

i haven't witnessed that so idk

but i would guess it goes well with the name devilsd

it's devil but sd, so they refine everything such that it becomes hd

[timber viper]

It took a while to get used to how cpp flows, no "Get back to topic" warnings since months

[broken sigil]

You make it sound like it is a bad thing 👀

[timber viper]

My motivation of destroying branches is a holy duty

[supple apex]

Dad joke, I'm actually laughing though... Must be getting old.

[deep copper]

an apostle of dragonhell

i think it's a god of #cpp

[timber viper]

A ketchupp flavour

[deep copper]

dragonHell*

hellDragon?

ah yeah

[broken sigil]

Is discord drunk

[deep copper]

a group strike <3 ?

[timber viper]

Dont make fun of peoples religion!! @deep copper

[deep copper]

ask other mods if it's another April fools

[timber viper]

That thing was so foolish

[deep copper]

but it did thin out the herd

[timber viper]

oMg sO fuNNy it'll lAsT a fEw hOurS mOre

[deep copper]

it only got me for like 5 sec but there are people who can see it each second and that gave them ptsd

[timber viper]

A few knowledgeable persons left the server though

[deep copper]

and then those saying how it was bugged

[timber viper]

And some people with OCDs went mad

[deep copper]

? i thought you were here then, the april fool's [1] thing

in the server icon

or just close discord for the day

rest

[timber viper]

I didnt even care but some people really can get very annoyed for such a simple looking thing and they cant help it

[deep copper]

helps me though, they probably wouldn't have liked the hugs

[broken sigil]

My new hobby is gonna be hanging around cpp and watching when the convo gets off topic and dropping #lounge in there

Since you all don't like lounge dark angel grapes BM 😅

[deep copper]

the thing is, i like you more than them

[timber viper]

This is how I suddenly become a dark angel art fan

No grapes though

Grapes still suck, BM

[deep copper]

it's kinda like isekai genre, of all the interesting things possible in the other world...

[timber viper]

Mushoku Tensei

Tank-kun would win

@deep copper you dropped the weeb bomb hope ur happy

[broken sigil]

But this is different, this isn't intergalactic dark angel, this is antimatter dark angel, that's totally different

[deep copper]

i am very content right now because of the ping 😊

[timber viper]

Ur Lucky im on mobile

[broken sigil]

Exactly

I have at least another 500 combinations of dark angels before I move on😅

[timber viper]

Make an angel game and live happy

[deep copper]

BM is just generating the perfect dark angel so it's okay

the others though, those are just examples of people trying to milk what already worked

[broken sigil]

Can't tell me this doesn't look kinda awesome

[timber viper]

Hire Laura for programming part, it only costs half of a single F35 Lightning II

*per hour

BM, ur in Luck!

[deep copper]

i wish i had the money so i could hire people for lols

i guess that's why I don't

[broken sigil]

The funny thing is since my image was at the top for a few days there are now hundreds of attempts with the exact same prompt and none of the come close 😅

[deep copper]

wait i thought ue5coro was free

[broken sigil]

Gonna try that 👀

[timber viper]

Thats what she wanted you to think

Grapes suck so you cant do it

[deep copper]

so manny?

[broken sigil]

Can't guarantee the dark angel part

[deep copper]

what if someone likes that attribute of grapes 🤔

goes to show how difficult the quest is

? cheap

[timber viper]

They must be boring people

Why would anyone like attributes of grapes

#grapes is not real take your pills

[deep copper]

well you can do ...stuff with them

[timber viper]

I rather not au

I rather not Laura

[deep copper]

they are versatile

wanna make a game? the grapes will assist,
wanna make the next nft?
grapes will assist,

that actually matches the face

[timber viper]

In fact we ate grapes in Gallipoli yesterday and I hated it, it was served because it was only meal with a weird soup back in war at 1915

[deep copper]

see? they assisted you, would you rather starve?

[timber viper]

I thought half of the lauras was your evil twin luara

[deep copper]

well as per BM's prompts I don't even recall seeing a man face 🤔

[deep copper]

so most probably, that women is the representative of all humans

[timber viper]

I just took the soup and gave grapes to my lighting artist friend, then he got some stomach issues

Thats some... Something

How fare u say that u canadian

[deep copper]

did someone make more laura accounts?

[timber viper]

Aaaaaa

[deep copper]

should have washed the grapes!

[timber viper]

Dare

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-bully-why-do-you-bully-me-gif-14134661

[timber viper]

It was washed, it came with water of bottle

[deep copper]

rather, wash yourself with grapes! they can assist with their juice!

[timber viper]

Do you do it like that au

[deep copper]

also the egg didn't hatch, the lorash didn't reply

[deep copper]

i could if you assist!

[timber viper]

Why dont you ask tank instead

[deep copper]

they would blow me away

i don't wanna get blocked

[timber viper]

Blast*

[deep copper]

owo

[timber viper]

Hey its not my decision

[deep copper]

it's true that it's upto tank ti decide, but I don't think mechanical things are good with fluids

i most probably did not!

[deep copper]

and they are an electric tank

wait is that where kek comes from?

[broken sigil]

Wonder what mj would generate for "Laura army"

[broken sigil]

That might be correct lol

[deep copper]

you don't seem to have any water proof stickers, can i verify and paste them?

jk pls no block

ah the guy with hand on face

i have seen that one

no is it this one?

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

[timber viper]

Like this?

[deep copper]

no it was more 🤔 hand but 😂 face

i guess that's why it's a meme

i wonder where dieter is

[timber viper]

He was missing for a a while, I noticed that too

Got bored of getting ignored Maybe

[deep copper]

he was here yesterday for a few messages

but that's all

you just gotta make sure, people leave so quickly these days

and the worst part is you don't even notice

[broken sigil]

When was ponkis last around

Might have messed up his name tho

[deep copper]

ponki account got deleted i think

it was months back

right after he got a job

[broken sigil]

Oh

[deep copper]

he probably deleted it for the job idk

oh, i have mons as a friend

but he told me not to dm

either way, BM! let's become friends! should i send a req!?

[broken sigil]

Sure 😅

Whoever wants to send me a request needs to announce it because otherwise I probably won't notice it and gonna end up ignoring it lol

[deep copper]

woah woah

well you are a mod and pretty high up in the side list thing

good thing i asked first 😌

or i would have stayed in a frenzied state that bm hates me

[broken sigil]

Lol

At this point I'm not even rejecting them, I'm gonna start collecting them like Pokémons

[mighty latch]

This community is too big. So many channels

[deep copper]

the bigger the better

you can see this belief in every corner of ue

from nanite to ue source to idk

i coerced asked them nicely for it 😊

well their reason for not accepting was dms get annoying so i said I won't dm

😔

[supple apex]

Oh wow, left for a bit and already so many messages...
Guess it's not as leisurely paced as I thought 🤔

[deep copper]

i should learn from you and get back to work

if only i had laura's reading speed grr

[timber viper]

I was really missing LD lessons of CE but luckily he allowed me to keep asking questions in DM 😂

[deep copper]

you got some premium vip ce

no server rules either

[timber viper]

Yeah tbh I feel I own CE too many things 😅

Owe*

[deep copper]

give ce a nice kiss as thanks!

jk don't

ce hates them

kebab pics would probably be better liked

[timber viper]

Hey Im on a road and Im hungry shut up xD

[deep copper]

xD how about some grapes? or me?

that should kill the appetite

[timber viper]

Is this intentionally two options I wouldnt prefer?

[deep copper]

yes!

it should help you not feel hungry

you can thank me later !!

is that what your first program was 🤔

ohhh

that's such a weird character for that

so it keeps repeating o ?

Aah

[supple apex]

?

[deep copper]

i know the o and o was different

knew*

[deep copper]

premium content only the fast people can see 😉 😔 🫂 🏩

[supple apex]

Nvm, do carry on~ 🍴 🍞

[timber viper]

is this another people born after 2000s wont understand talk

[deep copper]

but hey what exactly was that from, the screen looked so made up

ah

it looked cool , i only recall similar images from movies or music vids

[supple apex]

Huh, there's actually a thing called PETSCII?
Almost thought you were joking laura.

[timber viper]

Surprisingly I think AU knows more things than I know about BASIC

[deep copper]

it does have pet like instruction symbols

[deep copper]

i have used Basic years ago for a few days and realised how difficult it is

that made me really appreciate modern languages

..yeah

[supple apex]

That's a pretty good joke on its own actually, you got quite the sense of humor 👍 🥁

[deep copper]

i suppose xD

the way i used it was on a modern computer...

if it was truly the ancient one, that would have rocked

yeah i can see, that emulator was just 🤤

that sounds more practical than hellow world

ohh..

so page 3 for C!

actually, wait

if you need main(){} and includes in C, that's already page 10

i can see why basic would be quicker now 🤔

i don't really know CP/M but i see! C sounds quite unpopular

[supple apex]

You started programming before the 80's?

[deep copper]

Laura seems to have information dating before queen elizabeth

[supple apex]

!laura8ball did laura start programming before the 70's?

[deep copper]

even 8 ball can't see it well enough!

!8ball did laura start programming before the 70's?

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Yes – definitely.

[deep copper]

now this, also has a "definitely"

you are typing quite carefully and slowly today zenno, what's up?

[supple apex]

The only "cool" thing I remember doing related to computer stuffs of that era was using wordstar and lotus...
Not even close to programming.

[supple apex]

On a phone, one finger typing.

[deep copper]

lots of people on a phone today 🤔

[deep copper]

don't worry! turn on gesture typing, would make things quicker for one finger! if you haven't already

[supple apex]

Nah, I like things slow for today.

[deep copper]

how about a slow 🍀

[supple apex]

You lost me, what's that? A clover? Weed?

[deep copper]

it's a four_leaf_clover !

it shows up as second for :love

first is 🥊

[supple apex]

Pretty sure it's a luck symbol AU.

[deep copper]

yup !

[supple apex]

!8ball am i feeling lucky manny?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: Cannot predict now.

[deep copper]

as the green team, it's perfect!

a lovely lucky green clover

[supple apex]

Team clover? Well, why not.

!roll 3 d4

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :game_die: 4, 2, 4

[supple apex]

Not a very lucky clover 🍀

[deep copper]

424 is quite a cool number

divisible by 2 and 2 4s and a palindrome

it's also only purely made up of numbers of the power of 2

[supple apex]

Pretty good at starting conversation over every little thing possible AU, should probably turn you into a mascot of #lounge 👍

[deep copper]

will i get touches?

[supple apex]

Definitely prefer leisurely random talks of nothing than having a serious debate after a day of work.

Nope, that's a definite no.

I wonder how many people here are actually closet weebs...

Let's put some bait...

Kumoko best girl 🕸️

[deep copper]

ryobg
sk0g
american patriot rip

there was another but the name is difficult, j with 2 mm

or k

[supple apex]

None of them took the bait at the moment though, sigh.

[proud jay]

ichinose

but he gone

got weebed

[deep copper]

oh yeah, ponki and peps too

[deep copper]

not very "closet weeb"

[supple apex]

Is dieter a closet weeb? 🤔

[deep copper]

he is quite out of it, i thought

[supple apex]

Guess he's closer to a weeb slayer~

[proud jay]

what do you mean out of it

am not weeb

I do watch occasianal anime

but very occasional

I've seen death note, sword art online and jojo

[supple apex]

Weeb normie then? 🤔

[proud jay]

and something about kids that were "fostered" but were actually just being grown for meat for some monsters

forgot the name

[supple apex]

Wut?

[proud jay]

the promised neverland

that was the title

[supple apex]

You actually watch more than I do 🤔
Honorary weeb then, embrace the title dieter.

[deep copper]

a pro weeb in denial

[supple apex]

Pretty sure the word weeb is used in a bit more soft hearted and endearing ways nowadays, I consider putting it on a dieter as a compliment 👍

[proud jay]

nah

weebs are cringe

like ichinose putting his room full of cardboard cutouts

and wanting to marry ficitional character

buying anime pillows

those are weebs

[deep copper]

that's a greater weeb

you are a lower weeb

[supple apex]

Oh wow, I consider those die hard otaku weebs actually, I see weebs as just those who do casual japanese stuffs for fun 🤔

[deep copper]

same

i don't have any physical evidence of being a weeb, just this pfp and a lot of animes i watched and dropped midway

so by dieter's logic i am not a weeb 🤔

[supple apex]

Hipster weeb?

[deep copper]

omae wa shi kawaii desu~

[supple apex]

No flirting in weebish please, there are kids around 😑

[deep copper]

wasn't anime for kids

[regal pecan]

it's soft-core porn for people with touch deprivation
until it turns into actual porn

even Japan would rather have Disney movies

Furries go to the other side of the street when weebs show up

[deep copper]

sounds like for me!

actually isn't this a risky talk for #lounge

[supple apex]

I didn't know doraemon was r rated.
Should've known better, sigh...
conflicted

Huh, you're right, it might got caught by automod by accident, probably better to edit it.

[deep copper]

you probably already triggered it!

now we wait for judgement 😔

[deep glen]

no judgement from the bot, but I had lounge open XD

[supple apex]

No risky word in my posts 👍

[deep copper]

rip, strikes for all 😔 , also why in the world does automod not have that

[supple apex]

Do you do japanese stuffs luos?

[deep copper]

it has john **** but not that

[deep glen]

japanese in what way?

[supple apex]

Casual weebish way? Anime, food, manga, jpop/rock maybe, etc

[deep glen]

I do watch anime, and am a fan of japanese food though both are not related.

[proud jay]

it's not weeb to enjoy another culture

[deep glen]

anime is always a good inspiration for vfx

[proud jay]

it's weeb when you become obsessed

you don't call me a wannabe american for watching Friends and eating McDonalds

[regal pecan]

that would be a "gravy seal"

[deep glen]

well, there are a few animes I am somewhat obsessed about, as in great stories and such.

but I dont have a waifu or so XD

[supple apex]

Probably a casual sitcom fans at most dieter, but yeah, I agree with your point.

[deep glen]

made in abyss ftw

[deep copper]

so i am not a weeb 😔

[deep glen]

and I do own most of the "Grimgar" light novels

[deep copper]

grimgar had light novel? 😮 cool

[supple apex]

Ah, dark fantasy isekais I assume?

[trail wedge]

nah we call you a maker of poor choices if you eat at Mc Donalds

[deep glen]

yea, about 19 or so books by now

first two books are first season of the anime

[trail wedge]

it's only slightly more expensive to get a real burger at Five Guys

[supple apex]

Should probably train some more if you wanna be one senpai.

[proud jay]

I don't think that exists outside of USA

[deep copper]

train me 🚄

[supple apex]

No thank you, run out of schedule~
You should self-study instead, wax in, wax out.

[deep copper]

wax?

[supple apex]

Karate kid.

[trail wedge]

nah but it looks like there are none in Canada... Europe/Middle East got them first somehow (it started in Virginia)

either way I'm sure you guys have better burgers available than McDonalds

[supple apex]

You need to up your reference game AU.

[deep copper]

just make at home!

[trail wedge]

actually I just missed Canada on the list

[deep copper]

sorry I don't watch many movies 😔

[trail wedge]

I was assuming laziness

[deep copper]

i think it can be done with just 2 bread and some tomatoes in between, but yeah it's not upto the burger standards i guess, it's kinda just a 5 min sandwich 😕

[deep glen]

then it would be a bit more like a sloppy joe, which is fine too

[deep copper]

...i really need to up my reference game 😄

[deep glen]

"A sloppy joe is a sandwich consisting of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun"

[deep copper]

oh

you knew I didn't know !

that doesn't sound all that bad

[deep glen]

i sometimes make them with ground chicken, a spicy-sweet chili sauce and cucumber

its good

[deep copper]

i have had only bread + tomato cucumber too, and it's pretty solid

[deep copper]

that, does sounds like it will be useful for a full meal

[deep glen]

atm everything tastes like static noise though

sad corona face

[deep copper]

what why?!

[proud jay]

sloppy joe could be full meal I guess

[deep copper]

too much nanite?

[proud jay]

have you considered not having corona?

[deep glen]

i tried rebooting it

[deep copper]

why is it called that though, hilarious name

xD

[deep copper]

get well soon luos 🫂 😔 💐

[deep glen]

because the bread/bun gets sloppy from the greese and marinade stuffs

grease*

[deep glen]

thanksies

[deep copper]

and.. joe?

[deep glen]

joe made it XD

google says this:
"Sloppy Joes are largely believed to be the creation of a cook in Sioux City, Iowa. Named, yes, Joe"

[deep copper]

wait seriously xD

[trail wedge]

pretty sure you need a burger patty in there to make it any sort of burger

[deep copper]

that's some nice naming, kinda like naming formula in the name of scientists

[deep glen]

i should make a Sloppy Yoe XD

[deep copper]

idk i just go and buy burger bread or something , not sure about the patty part

it's useful to keep in stock but i suppose ordering a burger is easier

[trail wedge]

lol I wasn't saying anything about the bread, a burger patty is a disk of ground beef you grill to make the main part of the burger

[deep copper]

is this sloppy yoe?

[deep glen]

nah

[deep copper]

ah

i need to up my cooking ref as well 😤

[trail wedge]

sloppy joe is a really mild chilli with no beans that you put on a burger bun as a instead of a patty and toppings

chili burgers are a thing too... it's just actual chili that time

but funny thing about burger patties... they were the entire Hamburger in it's original form as Hamburger Steak named after Hamburg Germany

[deep copper]

so there's a place called Hamburg...

if it doesn't sells hamburgers only i would be mad xD

[trail wedge]

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

[trail wedge]

they call people who live in Hamburg Hamburgers too.... your comment got dark

[deep copper]

this reminds me of that gorden ramsey meme

[proud jay]

wait you guys use the word burger instead of hamburger?

[deep copper]

"what are you"
"a sandwich"

[proud jay]

an idiot sandwich*

[cursive crypt]

Always a hamburger, even if there is no ham in it.

What about cheeseburger?

[proud jay]

hamburger is just the generic term

[deep copper]

ah, there was also another one on that, beese churger? or some kind of swap

[cursive crypt]

Is a name, can see it in both variants.

[deep copper]

dieter hug me

[trail wedge]

let's be honest.... Burger means Cheeseburger not Hamburger most of the time (AU that just means it has cheese on it)

Hamburger

Cheeseburger

only difference is a slice of cheese

[deep copper]

xD thanks, i had a feeling

[trail wedge]

btw lettuce, onion, and tomato are optional toppings (among many other common ones like bacon)

[deep copper]

ah neat

[cursive crypt]

Can't imagine a hamburger with cheese.

And egg.

Okay, last was my personal addition.

[fluid bloom]

I can has cheezburger?

DP means “display picture” or, less commonly, “display photo.” It's the image representing you on a social network or any website

HoJo! did you ever finish that technical letter? how are the other HoJos? can we hug? (it's okay if you don't want to)

and ohh! that sounds like a one time issue, hopefully. but i can see another pop up and say that the other was fake so let's redo it

but what did he expect from a launch even if the earth was flat? you would still fall off the edge if you fly far enough, or fall down and die

he reached 1.8k something it seems and crashed

he was 64, quite high level

that is so sad tbh

[edgy ice]

open question: what is your biggest source for inspiration(in any aspect, design, story, world, etc.) when developing games?

[primal summit]

math

[edgy ice]

interesting source, elaborate o3o?

[primal summit]

followed by engineering

[carmine frigate]

hookers and cocaine

[edgy ice]

ah, the 70s classic

[primal summit]

math: I put a huge emphasis on how game mechanics interact (I played a lot of eve), and thus pay a lot of attention to how those interactions can shape gameplay. I'm also a fan of abusing the concept of space-filling curves to make small areas feel large

[edgy ice]

oh thats super sick actually

[primal summit]

as a bonus it can keep lines of sight low so rendering large scenes isn't a thing, allowing you to run on weaker hardware

[edgy ice]

doesnt nanite do that innately?

or am i buggin

[primal summit]

dunno

haven't messed with 5

[edgy ice]

ah, fair enough

5 feels like forbidden magic

it throws out all i know about game development and all i grew up on

[carmine frigate]

in blueprint u have the node isrecently rendered

it checks if the actor was on screen last frame. u can turn stuff off with that

so that can help a lot with low line of sight

nanite doesnt help with that

[edgy ice]

aha

TIL

[primal summit]

not the answer you expected, I'm sure

[edgy ice]

ill be honest, i expected nothing, i was just curious what others use for inspiration

curiosity was my only driving factor

[carmine frigate]

you see something.. and now you want to make something similar but diffrent

[primal summit]

that is common!

[edgy ice]

hah, not particularly 😛

[primal summit]

a movie you liked, a genre of books, games you grew up playing

[edgy ice]

id be honest and upfront with that, in all honesty im sitting here with a mug of tea watching random stuff and i saw #lounge dead, thought a friendly question would liven it up

[carmine frigate]

now you made something nothing like the original and nothing like what u wanted to make in the 1st place

[edgy ice]

personally, my biggest inspirations come from music, i grew up with this hobby where I used to visualize things from music(an old ex got me onto it)

its been my biggest source of ideas

[carmine frigate]

ahh LSD... i remember it well

[edgy ice]

HAH

[carmine frigate]

i got 2560x 1440 pixels and i aint sharing any of em

[edgy ice]

it would be weird to share only a single pixel

[carmine frigate]

could do morse code

[edgy ice]

true, true

make a screen sharing numbers station

[carmine frigate]

could do a lot of numberstations with that

[primal summit]

So, your name... what could have inspired such an idea?

[edgy ice]

team fortress 2.

was pubstomping with friends and we started changing our names on steam to be increasingly awful things to experience

dunno why but Wasabi Eyedrops stuck with me

it had a nice ring lol

[carmine frigate]

played a few games a long time ago but i mostly know TF2 from the meme videos

back when it got updates and didnt become a poor mans competitive game, it was most fun

but as it goes, you get older and you find other games to play

https://lemire.me/blog/2022/08/09/hello-world-is-slower-in-c-than-in-c-linux/
^^ It's the preoptimization, for me

welp yall, guess we need to abandon c++

I do not believe that printing ‘hello world’ itself should be slower or faster in C++, at least not significantly.
I mean, is it possible to care

Someone does point out the right answer, about std::endl also flushing instead of just adding a newline character

[cursive crypt]

This is kinda lame research even. I wanted to see the other ways of printing too.

[graceful sequoia]

they did mention regular C stdio in C++

blog got you dun did zennodez

[supple apex]

Cannot open the link, the bot think I'm a robot...

having existential crisis at the moment, am i a robot?

[graceful sequoia]

if you feel like your c++ will be slowed down by tracing at every operation, is it even worth it?

[cursive crypt]

Speed is so finicky, I would bother only if your whole app is printing fast hello world.

[graceful sequoia]

well yeah, I try to hello world at every conceivable place in my apps

obviously best practice

[cursive crypt]

Try to avoid, it is a frequent bottleneck. Use lowercase, no punctuation when you are printing. It saves on cpu cycles.

[graceful sequoia]

Ive heard about that

there it is

thats entrepeurialism

multiply it by hundreds of thousands of npm packages and youve got a business

[cursive crypt]

You can release and a DLC with a bit of variation, random timeout, varying cases, etc.

[supple apex]

Why didn't I thought of that, ads on a hello world program, that's brilliant /s 🤔

[graceful sequoia]

well yeah, because each DLC has a different random variation

DLC 1 => 42 seconds
DLC 2 => 39 seconds
DLC 3 => 45 seconds

its amazing

[cursive crypt]

I have been since long time preaching that big publishers should start charge gamers on nano-transactions - amount of CPU cycles spend in a game.

[graceful sequoia]

so thats just bitcoin mining, i think

[primal summit]

you're missing the obvious dlc: different language packs

[graceful sequoia]

how many people would buy two different languages for a given dlc

[primal summit]

which language you get is random and inversely proportional to frequency of use, lootbox style

expect a lot of akkadian and sumerian

[supple apex]

People are lucky microsoft haven't charge microtransaction every time you press compile on VS.

[graceful sequoia]

ridiculous, but somehow on par with what id expect

[graceful sequoia]

seems to be going the opposite direction

Macrotransaction?

[graceful sequoia]

less money per transaction, free in fact [in many cases]

I have no idea what the conversation is.

The humidity knocked me out for the past few hours

[graceful sequoia]

well its a relevant point*, if you think metrics collection that they were doing when it was a paid solution is now immoral when its free

[primal summit]

monetizing "hello world"

[edgy ice]

...

Im going back to bed

[primal summit]

probably for the best

[graceful sequoia]

https://giphy.com/gifs/disney-disney-gif-pinocchio-jiminy-cricket-mguPrVJAnEHIY

[edgy ice]

Kek.

Jokes aside, there is a fine line between free and paid monetization plans, but I would say there is a MASSIVE disconnect between gaming and production

Look at Adobe, their products are stagnating and more and more people are dropping Adobe for other products

People don't really like subscriptions for their creative programs and I feel micro transactions on software would cause riots

[primal summit]

this is the start

[graceful sequoia]

I think if it was the right amount of money, it would make sense to creatives. The problem is CC is kind of stupidly expensive for an enthusiast / amateur / small company

[edgy ice]

Well it's always been

The past 10 years I'd say has been the first time anyone can really create

Creation software of any medium, art, music, games, etc. Used to be a pricey hobby

Either that or you did it the slowest most agonizingly annoying ways

When I was a kid, we had FRAPS and $300+ Adobe products

[graceful sequoia]

i'm sure that CC is more expensive than the suite was before it

[edgy ice]

Single products mind you.

[graceful sequoia]

even if you very generously allow for how long a given Adobe suite product would have been useful + cost before it

[edgy ice]

It was and it wasn't, it depended on(keep in mind this is all from memory) how many things you needed

[primal summit]

ahh yes, fraps...

[edgy ice]

If you were on newgrounds you pretty much just wanted fruity loops and Adobe flash

If you were making websites it was Dreamweaver

[primal summit]

frontpage

[edgy ice]

If you did art it was Photoshop

[cursive crypt]

Is not this the case anymore? 🤔

🤦 should've figured that out...

[deep copper]

that's a nitro emoji

we can't use it

tank is special

[supple apex]

Ah, so that's why...

Tank part of the 1% elite, unlike us peasants...

[deep copper]

classy 1% tank

[cursive crypt]

Can you send a link for nitro?

[supple apex]

That, I don't know actually, on mobile, didn't really thought of clicking it.
You've opened my eyes again today, so much enlightenment 😐

[deep copper]

actually just one tap on emoji is enough

the problem is reaction emotes, you can't read their names

[supple apex]

For a self claimed toxic machine, tank is very helpful and informative, go figure.

[deep copper]

tank is super sweet

the toxic thing is just to keep away weird people

actually isn't poison sweet?

? doesn't work, shows me who reacted with it

not it's name

[supple apex]

HCL smells sweet, so is paint.

[deep copper]

nope, 2 does nothing, you only end up reacting to it as well

and getting rate limited for second tap

[deep copper]

do you smell sweet?

[supple apex]

I can send you something that smells sweet.
mail a beehive

[deep copper]

!8ball do you like beehives

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Most likely.

[deep copper]

well yeah you don't get bitten

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: Don't count on it.

[supple apex]

My entire first year of college was reading introduction to C++ while the lecturer explains about steel, concrete, and structure analysis.

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: As I see it, yes.

[deep copper]

i just realised, manny is team purple

[noble plaza]

Bruh sounds like me lol, has to do a generic first year of engineering

Never heard so much talk about triangles nor imaginary numbers before

[deep copper]

double skill tree acquired

[edgy ice]

I'm self taught on basically everything, I can't stand school

Unironically was considering dropping out of high school way before

[deep copper]

same

[edgy ice]

Stuck around because GED would have made my life harder

[deep copper]

ged?

ah

[edgy ice]

If you dropped out back then, you could get a generic educational diploma

At least, here in NY

[deep copper]

oh

[edgy ice]

it was a useless bit of paper

But it was supposed to be a "second chance"

[deep copper]

practically telling you dropped out

[supple apex]

You got mandatory calculus as well?

[deep copper]

it's all just a paper for saying you can pay for it and waste time

[edgy ice]

But I mean, you could drop out and go straight into the workforce, if you applied yourself in retail you could get into banking

Back then in like the early 2010s it was still possible to get solid work that way

Not like today where you need a college degree to get a job at mcD

[supple apex]

Actually missed all the parts about concrete, steel, and structure. Also didn't end up using C++ until 5 years afterwards, and that's only for a short stint.

[noble plaza]

Yeah, but I think that was compulsory for the Engineering body's requirements here anyway, no matter what major you picked.

[deep copper]

latent/potential double skill aquired*?

[noble plaza]

Same, I did the highest level maths in school, and then didn't have much new stuff in uni. It's ok, my GPA could have done with the boost lol

[deep copper]

mcd as in 🍔 ?

or is it some pharmacy

[edgy ice]

Yessir

[deep copper]

ah lol really

[edgy ice]

Borgar

[deep copper]

never knew the people there had degrees, i wonder what their goals were, they are definitely doing something else while doing it

[edgy ice]

My friend dropped out, both me and him were done with the school system at that time, I stuck around because I had a ticket into college, he dropped it all and went into the workforce

[supple apex]

Which school did you went to? 🤔

[noble plaza]

Almost everyone at the Macca's here are like 14-15 YOs, since you can pay them less. Good starting job too, learn some life skills and get some spending $$$ for it

[edgy ice]

It worked out more or less for him before COVID happened, he worked security at a big bank and made cash out the ass

Honestly, as a college senior and someone who saw the school system as useless garbage since middle school, if you're really not sure what you wanna do in life

Get a trade job.

[noble plaza]

Oh I was talking about university, for an engineering degree (+ honours). 1 year generic engineering, 2 years software stuff, then 1 year honours (advanced topics, research, thesis)

[edgy ice]

Other friend dropped out of college, went for a mechanics job(CNC)

Man's is making $28 with full benefits and a union

He had 1 year of college experience.

All he does is push a button.

[supple apex]

Yeah, meant to say college, out of habit say school.

[edgy ice]

I still find it funny, I took a C++ course in college, learned dicknballs from it

Dropped it

Picked up C++ again for UE5

I'm doing great

[noble plaza]

(US)$28/h sounds pretty low for a long term career tbh, but I'm not sure how that pans out long term

[edgy ice]

I learned more in a few days then I learned in a whole semester

I mean, it's pretty low sure, but for someone with a year of college experience?

That's pretty good when your alternatives are $16 an hour working anywhere else

[noble plaza]

Sure, but in software you're better off doing an internship or two since that gives you a leg up in grad roles

[edgy ice]

Trade jobs from my understanding are pretty much easy money

Lots of positions, not a lot of people filling positions
