Guaranteed growth and mostly unionized
Yeah for backbreaking labour in many cases, and a frequently toxic work culture
No such thing as easy money. If there was, everyone would be making it π
Maybe, Im only speaking from secondhand perspective from friends who went that direction
Small sample size, sure
But they all are doing pretty good for themselves and don't complain much about their jobs
I made the poor life decision of going to college
Lol
Final semester coming up tho so I can't complain too hard.
Nothing wrong with pursuing higher education, opens up quite a few doors
Knew you were 12.
Get back to your Lua scripting!
Stonks == literally any stonks for about 2 years lol
COVID was great for stock markets
Now all my stocks are long term static stocks and an ETF
Slow growth but I was barely hit by the crash
Though recession means I'm basically bag holding for another few years.
Earlier this year when inflation shot up 8% and everyone was losing money left and right
The ongoing one? Around March this year
Nah most stocks, especially tech
I basically predicted this would happen so I shifted my entire portfolio to anything long term and emerging
And I dumped into VOO
Just basically anything to stabilize
Actually it wasn't even the war, I knew we were gonna crash because we had billions given for free
Then stimmies were loans
Money gotta come from somewhere
Stooop π
- COVID stock pumps because people had nothing else to spend money on, and suddenly travel was becoming a thing again
You are depressing
I knew that after the pandemic blew over we were gonna have an economic low, I wasn't expecting a full on crash but hey
Go away
π
RB
I am an angel
Hah

I did travel a lot this past year
Mostly vagrant style, bit of hitchhiking, Flixbus and anything else cheap
<\3
Kek, nah that's all I was gonna say
Trying to keep the chat rolling
That nap ruined my sleep for the night, I'm wide awake
So bad code in general
I'm doing great in c++,I never said I was good c++, sire.
When i try to execute you... It returns null
Meaning I am unexecutable, meaning I am immortal
No
Buahuahua.
It means youre invalid
Not yet, my spine works fine
Maybe when I'm old
But when I'm old I'ma get a sweet cane sword
And a crow.
That would be sick.
At least it compiles and runs then, that's something π€·ββοΈ
Sounds like a perfectly valid and stable program to me
It's a feature, not a bug.
you just aren't updated enough with modern hardware to execute it
One day I will be updated with vulkan, for now I am but an OpenGL 3.0
How modern? Would a typewriter work?
are you related to makoto ichinose btw?
try it, if it works it works π€·
Interesting question sherlock... wasabi is ichinose?
i am wondering if that's true, doesn't seem so but still
No sire, I am not related to anyone
I am but a poor slav, a Polak without a name, damned to carry these pierogi
I actually gotta do google-fu on it, it's dumplings?
Essentially. Polish dumplings
Usually filled with cheese, meat or mushrooms
Usually served with butter and fried onion
+herbs if you're fancy
just do a gif search on discord itself, works generally
it sounds kinda good tbh
It is good, honestly
A lot of Slavic food can be summarized as "not the best looking thing, not exactly made with the fanciest methods or ingredients, but pretty much delicious and wholesome"
Kielbasa, Pyzy, Karkowka, Goulash, Golabki, Bigos, Schab, kotlety
Just listing random stuff off the top of my head
All pretty good food
it sounds like names of places xD
Polish is just weird like that, like most Slavic places
Just eat goulash soup yesterday, didn't realize it was slavic.
It's technically not, it's....European.
Lol
There's a Slavic version of it but it's origin is....Turkish(?)
Ah, ok, carry on with your food list~
@edgy ice but have you had khinkali? God tier dumplings TBH
Im lazy so I usually just dump a whole cut of it in a bowl with some seasonings, onion, vodka and garlic
Or sirok, miss those yum balls
Yea Ive had khinkali before, good stuff
With that much macaroni? Must be american.
Uhhh....I forget the word for it but basically yes.
I know Karkowka is pork....shoulder...?
gotta ask eren
I grew up in a polish household there's literally words I don't know/remember how they are in English lol
tough meat?
it's all gif search i dunno xD
You either cut against the grain in thin slices or you marinade it in a lightly acidic marinade to break down the meat
Or you slow roast it
My go-to lazy marinade is just onion, seasonings, vodka and garlic in a bowl for a few hours
You found a Turkish gif result for a Georgian dish lol, nice.
i am searching what the food names mean xzd
xD*
Sometimes they wrap the top with a (chive?) chute, just to flex
I'm a bit biased when it comes to herbs and being fancy, I grow my own herbs
So to me it's not fancy at all
:P it's hard finding food related gifs, schab brought up some old guy, I don't think that's the food
that does sound tough
cant find this either, brings up crying gifs
I have a small herb garden with dill, chives, 3 kinds of basil, tyme, rosemary, 2 types of mint(chocolate mint is godly), and I just planted sage
They're pretty low maintenance, just water, good soil and a windowsill
My gf has like a hundred plants and none usable smh
Grow your own herbs, it'll change your life
They look nice but can't even get a lil much out of any of them
Herbs on demand is the best stuff
Plus garden grown plants just taste better, personally.
sounds good to me π i successfully kill nearly all plants i grow
So it's basically a cheesecake ice cream bar in a chocolate or fruit outer shell. Top tier
that does sound tasty π
But also, you're more likely to over-water than under-water, so if starts looking a bit shaky maybe just let it decide its own destiny for a lil bit lol
does blueprint count?
no
blueprint coder are not coder.
they are schoolkids
go back to mum!
real men code in rust
Spoken like a true asura
come at me, in code!
so was considering blueprint an insult enough?
i can hug
π
Why waste my energy making insulting code when I can instead not do that and spare me the energy
:U
@deep copper like a weed, not like weed
I don't have a plant.....yet.
Dill next time...
It's legal here in NY, I might as well pick up a plant.
Hell yea bruddah
UE4
Cringe AF bro
this couldve been prevented guys
but you didnt want to stop me
why would i stop evil
i am just messing with you, you couldnt ever stop me from destroying the entire world AHHAHAHAAHAHAH
You probably code on godot π
MIT license and a cult community that knows every little thing about the engine?
And C#?
Sure why not
:U
UE5 is better tho
Lumen is still blowing my mind to this day
it only looks better.
I dunno man, not needing to bake lights and UV maps is pretty sick ngl
you dont need todo that since ue4
My point still stands
Whatever you say, asura.
i get the idea here yes
ue5 has neat ideas
but ue4 is still very good
ill leave for work now you handsome very polite and well hyginated people β€οΈ
π«
i heard lumen is so slow you need to turn it off anyway π€
Too expensive for modern consoles probably
you are amazing <3
warn me before the block π’
3 strike system, and cooldown on 30 days
then, hug me before each block..
actually, don't
then if you hug that would mean i am blocked
hmm, you didn't take the bait, i thought you would add a hug as a joke
you can still do it ofc
Controversial, latest Assassin's creed games are not about assassin.
look at all those feedback forum posts being rejected
Not really a fan of having to do multiple logins just to play a game.
also Denuvo is just worthless
the games are properly pirated on day 1 anyway
at least they used to be
Laura found a better way to express my concern π
haven't looked into game pirating since a long time
anyway it's shit to make the experience for all players worse, just to prevent some pirating
Not a fan of anti-pirating installing a windows service running non stop.
Is fine, devs will close their servers at some point anyway. Kind of reminds me of something that happened recently π€
As long as it is marketed as open world, I'm throwing money at them.
I hate the trend of everyone make 150h+ games
even though it's just doing the same over and over
Anybody got a meme to represent best sarcasm of the day?
pls just give me a 15h game or so and charge me half the price
Wait, you don't like doing the same thing for 140 hours and then doing a 10h campaign, outrageous!
wait people login to play games ?
people play games?
booted up crash 4 yesterday, they wanted a activision account lol
luckily there was a skip option
who would want that
Who crashed?
makes me appreciate free softwares that are just "download" button and install
creating accounts need such parkour moves

don't look up gifs for peach they're all quite sexualized
you wish that link had thumbnail of peachpie
Screw you, I expected a recipe, not php

I have peaches, but no pie π€
I am going to search "peach" on the gif tab

I wish
no
NOO!!

you could go to midjourney and make test will it
!8ball will π replace π ?
@soft night, :8ball: It is certain.
The music video to the famous song Peaches. And just for everyone's information, These guys are still around. Hunt down their albums, you wont be disappointed
oh for fuck's sake... some clueless dude designed a database schema for holding time series data for funds at the client I'm working at
like... it's time series data, you have one table where some column is the value and time and the name of the fund, right?
but noooo, the person who did this created different tables for all the different funds there are
DB is full of tables that start with "fund_" prefix
rant overish
"made the table, boss!"
well, atleast the data is there
But can you duck it? π¦π¦πΆββοΈ
The Table Spamming Experience
Database normalisation, extreme mode.
The worst thing about best practices, you can't blindly follow them to some absurd extreme. Well you can, but it starts resembling a worst practice moreso π
Anyway, asked my lovely GF for a Dairy Milk, and she thought I wanted non-lactose free milk π
Normally get the lactose free one since she's intolerant and milk is milk, but that interpretation wasπππ

Just casting a wide net, the closest language I (did) speak is Russian π€·ββοΈ those more basic words tend to be similar with some smol variations
Helps when I don't type in Cyrillic I'd assume π
I picked it up as a kid, read Simpsons comics and Harry Potter books in it, and then never used it again pretty much
I'm guessing you have played This War of Mine?
I remember playing BF2 as a lil kid, till I got to a map I had been to IRL. The resemblance was kinda loose, but it was so harrowing I didn't play the game for months π
Map was from Project Reality not vanilla, but a Georgian one - Mestia maybe?
That + CoD 1, where your buddies had names. One had a Georgian one and I was so attached to him, I was running around protecting him. Then he got blown to bits π
Bit more than been there haha, moved away after the whole fun thing a while ago though
With IRL conflicts, the more recent they are the more sensitive and careful you're going to have to be in how you handle the topic as well. WWII is easier, no one that fought in it is watching video game trailers lol
And with stories, is it going to be a story driven game? Even if it is, I think the gameplay would shape the story somewhat, so easier to start with a rough chart of the big events, and figure out the moment-to-moment stuff as you go
ohhh, i think it would be more clear to me if we hug, or handshake
Is realistic a considerable end-goal, or is it fun/ interesting experiences?
Like, the logical extreme of realism for a shooter is well, IRL. I can shoot maybe 0-1 people before I will feel sick and collapse from guilt or whatever. Yet I have no issues doing that a hundred times over in Battlefield and the likes
I think Insurgency found a really good balance there, but it was driven big time by their intense audio design. It's a work of art πͺ
Wonder if you're really that clueless about pop culture references π€
UE basically assumes every game is a shooter lol, it's definitely built for it
maybe you can teach me more about it π€ !
Maybe start off with Lyra or ShooterGame if you don't want UE5 though
UE5's not that different TBH. We get sleeker UI though
sounds like a ridiculously obvious trap...
Only one way to find out! You can opt out of most of the fanciness introduced
Grab ShooterGame and have a look at how they did it there. A fair few Steam games used that project as a base (and didn't rename their .exe lol)
And the hip UE5 update
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/lyra
Yeah, it's like a fancy project template, bit more advanced than the normal templates but good to dive into at least
Some of the stuff may be outdated mind you, I'm not sure if there's a better (free) FPS template around
why you so in need of hugs
I'm expecting this in the OST now, TYTY

The band's Austrian and do some blend of Russian/German/Slav/random music. Fun stuff
It slaps though, would recommend if you haven't heard it before
Hmm, even the normal FPS template should have movement and all that then. If it's lagging because of FPS though, then outside of turning down scalability, there's always Godot π
For ShooterGame specifically no, but you could compile it once and do everything from there onwards in Blueprints I guess. I'd rather look at the FPS template though, which should also work
hm, well, like i have said before, i haven't seen many movies π . what about you?
i gave the option of handshakes as well, professional stuff!
!8ball is affectionate_user an AI?
@supple apex, :8ball: Ask again later.
if i was i would be making cool art
Dang, even manny's covering the track.
Do you draw AU?
artstation link plz
are you a super movie watcher?
no lol xD, i wish
Nope, probably just got most of the references hammered into my head due to constant exposure.
What's your spec and os?
and what about artstation? you got one? do you draw?
Not under this account or handle.
did you make your icon?
Which one? The green one?
Just a quick random doodle.
quite nice!
Should probably list the spec, somebody might give an advice about it.
also if you jsut started up it might be compiling shaders in the background
which can severly reduce framerate

@deep copper
Not an artist, not a game dev, not familiar with movie references, how did you arrive here AU? π€
you just edit stuff
check out the courses at their https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/onlinelearning-courses

"As the King Caves in"
||I knew, glory is built upon this place. A labyrinth of caves to praise a god who sat on his throne, nothing left but voices, ice, and bones; even below his glorious statue that is filled with temptation and tainted ambition. His Statues, His Temples, His People, all fell into dust, on every ceiling, every stone, and every corruption preserved by the King's undying sins. Caves, built abrasively, tunnel deep through the helpless mind, where it loses itself with indecisive punishments in the dark. The glory it once was, it shook the earth and collapsed.||
||I shouldnβt be here. I need to leave.||
||I did, but I couldnβt. For many years, I desperately climbed to seek light, to see stars with the eyes of visions that laments my glory beyond the depths of the cities that are built. Above there is; Above there was.||
||Now. I am faced with the king who has revived from its deathly slumber, in its final confrontation against the mind's integrity, a monster in its humanized form that canβt be harmed. The last piece of this story, crumbling down with every fallen rock and scream of agony across the empty cave. The king, the dictator, the god, who have woefully controlled and conceived me over the years that I am unable to leave this recursive imprisonment; Alas, βYou are not needed anymoreβ as I said to his confident eyes in contempt. He froze into dust with his confident smile, slowly crumbling away into eternal rest.||
||I looked up to realize that I finally gained my freedom, a chance to see the light again. Everything in this world is falling apart, the world will be new and free. The ceiling shatters itself to shed light into this dark world for I donβt need to climb, I donβt need to run, I donβt need to survive. For I am the King.||
Just need some critiques
yeah ... well... i think we need someone who reads fast, any lauras around?
You mean that's long, it's text, texts aren't huge.
terminology police
so, stupid question... if I started my project in 4.26 and put maybe an hour into work in the engine and the rest planning on paper, should I upgrade to 5?
how long!*
better? π€
it's a fun read
Depends on the purpose of the migration.
As well as whether a stork is involved in the migration.
I don't really have much need for the new features of 5
I like thumbs up better, how's that? π
Then why are you considering a move to 5?
π‘οΈ is nice
are storks delicious? or just tastes like quail?
Was expecting to read a haiku level of text length, not several blocks of darkness.
or maybe ducks
shush
mostly because it's going to take a while and mostly use marketplace assets and I don't want to be too far behind the bugfix and exploit patch curve
Haiku is cringe okay
No idea, I don't eat storks, they're necessary for fairytale origins of babies and potats.
too much rhymes
So far I made 1 great short writing.
it makes a writer's mind blow away
of course a more stable feature set in 4.26 is implicit...
Can always check whether the marketplace seller have any long term plan on supporting 4.26 or not.
Heck, I'm still supporting 4.21 for whatever reasons.
and you said π© is r rated!
How the heck do you compare a thumbs up with a π© ? π
well, i wanted a hug, then hand shake, then high five, and thumb up is just ΒΏ
odd in the sequence
Unless what you mean was bugfix and patch for the engine from epic.
Is anyone having trouble accessing their "Financial Info" on steamworks? I've had this broken captcha since yesterday.
Tried Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari on mobile. Deleted cookies, went off wifi on cellular data, etc.
try another web browser
and make sure you'er not getting scammed
free nitro though
dont wanna miss it

"Revenge"
||Begging for shelter in the raging storm, I've finally found a hidden cave where no man can be found. The pitch black of the unknowns, speaking woes of death and fear, is observing through the blood of my coat. Fear is to anyone who has seen the light of day, but never to a souless wretched man who will step forth into the wandering darkness.||
||In the cold and unihabitable terrain of the caves, a glimmer of light shows itself as glowing mushrooms of hope. Such beauty, such gentle sight leading a route into the depths of peace. Followed its tranquil, I slipped. Fell into the darkness, further and futher, without the light to guide my path. The soul replenished from false hope, but the truth gave loss to its efforts. I cried as I fall.||
||Found myself drenching in cold death that only stood below my weak ankles. Newly found light sparks once again with glowing white flowers where their petals' beauty sinks above the mirrored water. Trapped with empty echoes reaching into the infinite abyss, there is no passageway to my escape. Alone, empty, and souless, I screamed at my own reflection, hating it to the ends of the earth. With nothing left at hand; forced to stare at reality itself. An unbearable sight, my own pride, I have defeated myself.||
and i will send free vbucks
why its like a classified CIA document though
Nah It's okay I got a personal email from Gabe Newell himself asking me to send him money. Very legit
shoo, just read
i feel if i do, a black van will show up at my house
posting classified info online is a crime yknow
Apparently you can just see through all that redacted black line stuff (if it's the original) using a blue light heh.
look, these things happen, not gonna worry about it...
Not sure how to formalize but it looks way poetical, it'd be difficult to provide plots in depth with this way - you're doing the effort that reader should make by explaining everything peotical
no idea though
Fix the grammar and spelling please!
Nothing odd with the sequence, u start with a hug, but then alien comes, you fight against the alien in an epic way, alien defeated, you're relieved, shake hands with everybody, do a high five with some of them, then go back home while giving thumbs up to each other.
dafuq with hidden walls of text
someone sharing classified CIA document by disguising it into a story review
yeah I don't know where's the updated version of that piece. I swear I fixed all the grammar
real talk, unless this is set in Victorian England with the MC being a broke poet trying to uncover the beasts under the lighthouse, its a little too verbose
There is no plot.
Check why the title is called "Revenge"
TL;DR it is the revenge against the protagonist. Himself.
revenge is still a plot
yeah but no one understand it as you can see
self v self is an archetype
so you failed to explain it
if you are telling a story whether a book, article, game or movie, you need to trust your audience's intelligence
5 it is then. π
I mean, if epic bugfix and patch are your highest priority, I don't see much option left there.
it is a short writing. Apparently I gave this to a English teacher-friend and straight up explained everything correctly.
Frankly, this is #lounge not a narrative club. tldr bring the pizza
i dont even know who am i, where am i, why i am here, whats my motivation, what am I going to do etc. these small pieces constructs the story in humans mind
also performance and marketplace assets
that's the best part. You don't know what and where the person is going. All you need to know is that the character is messed up
the "mystery" of which
I dont even know that when I finished reading though
How?
They use special ink to redact things?
Or is that just how normal ink works under blue light?
no but there's no contact in this one
I just know a dramatical person doing weird things that does not interest me
I need to know backstory to feel
too bad there's none π₯²
it was for a June Writing Month thing
Inktober but for writing
u asked me to critise and I gave what I learned from a storytelling god Β―_(γ)_/Β―
who is this "god"? I would like to defy such
left the server π₯²
Marketplace seller are forced to always support the latest engine version I think.
bro, you're late, it's august smh
our endless talks about how to provide info to player in with game/narrative/level design stays in #level-design though
it's an old piece. I saved it
agreed though, why you writing like a 17th century poet
oh! peps?
jk ik who
There's an alien involved, that's a contact, first contact, jodie foster, spock's dad, first contact.
i mean, being less brutalistic about his supposed "failures", i think the thing with the story is that the text is a bit too short, there was little to really define the character, its poetic and you can gather some information, blood on the coat implying either the man is wounded OR he committed some form of violence, he is going into a cave and found sweet drug shrooms, he fell and now he is stuck in some hole(cue the scary lofi), he hates himself...and thats about it?
but i want some contact between us, not aliens
there should have been a few more establishing lines, perhaps mentioning a body, or a scuffle to define the blood on his coat
@deep copper
How long have you been a serial hugger btw AU?
Why don't you have a seat over there...
how do you know Zennodez is not an alien though
perhaps maybe some letters or notes, a reflection of ones sins, the water showing a man in a white coat and badges upon his breast
I'll take that to the notes
π
3-4 years only
its not a bad start and you have the format and progression down, you just need to define who this person is, why this person hates themself, whats with the blood
oh!!! now that's epic :D
alien kink huh?
so much critics, now i wish i went through the story
@deep copper can you remove this
done!

good thought.
To help explain that. The blood explain that he did something bad or was in bloodshed or in a battle.
As for self-hate. In a sense of letting the reader ask the question. "Why does he hate himself? What did he do? Why was there blood?"
Leaving the reader unanswered.
it doesnt even need to be like...detailed? the reader can infer things on their own. but when you mention things like "the waters sullen by the corpses, spawned by his hand", or "he gazed into the waters, seeing not a wounded, bleeding man but the glorious visage of a man, with medals on his breast and rifle in hand" or "glowing mushrooms lit the path, flecks of light akin to hope felt on the filthy streets in which he called home"
oh sure you know he did something bad and there was bloodshed
the reader doesnt
if story didnt end there it could be a nice trick, because yeah it makes reader ask those questions
but there is no way to learn wtf is going on
Remove 1, add a new 1, big brain move.
so reader losts interest
oh I haven't seen that type of writing, perhaps the latter
that was a 4d chess move
π
i would not say lost interest
but i would say i found it hard to get any true attachment to this person, nor do i understand what made him so hatefilled
this would be fine as an introduction or a flashback or the start of a game, since i AM interested to see where this goes
but in a void as a solo short story, its not enough and doesnt exactly want me to have more
true, but that lack of attachment causes reader to not wonder what is going to happen, so its lose of interest indirectly - thats what I tried to say
this, I need to learn. Make an attachment in a "short" moment or paragraph.
thats a nebulous train of thought
Million dollar question you got there.
if they hug the reader
jk ignore me
instead of "what makes a person like a character", you should be asking "why should someone like my character"
theres characters with zero likable qualities but we like them because of how they are done
or, some power fantasy
do them good!
I can ask this one though, but I doubt character progression his expertise π€
malevolent villains with no likable or relatable qualities can be still good
he is more like god of "world building" around auidence
yeah that's the power fantasy part, do what we can't irl
but I know some theories like "katarsis" etc
also physicologically people would side with characters that suffering
handsome jack is a vile, grubbing, awful individual who would kill 10 men for no reason. we like him because he is a great villain, a great vile clown that has so many good quips and handles situations in such an awful way that its, well, likable
Harry Du Bois from Disco Elysium is a drunk, washed up, low down, miserable man. hideous, disgusting and fraught with horrible life decisions. you end up liking him because the inner machinations of his thoughts(as you are the him ingame) are so outlandish and fun that it becomes enjoyable
is that the normal > problem > solution ?
no its just situational, if you see a character weak compared to others and kind hearted you'll always side with it
There's also characters that you just love to hate, heels.
^ incorrect
that makes sense!
i cannot stand shinji from evangellion
it depends, without external factors this is how human brain works
i hate whimp characters in general
A good heel adds a lot of factors in making a likeable face.
theyre not fun, theyre annoying and they usually become so whimpy to the point its literally impractical
if it irritiates you for some reason you wouldnt want it to be shine though
thats normal
you really like heels huh
conversely i also dont find paragon characters interesting at all
from what I'm reading.
Handsome Jack - stands out, not an annoyance, has comic relief
Harry Du Bois - Fun-Interactive thoughts
the strict lawful good, always ties his shoelaces, cleans himself
that explains the shounen genre, wimpy but brave
imperfection is key
people like that stuff
i think Assassination Classroom anime would be a good study @cold aspen
it does its job perfectly
in general i think you should go play some games and watch some anime.
or tv shows or movies
or read a short story
Only those who seems to be unfashionably late...
cmon AU, this is a very recent reference, game reference, surely you can get this one
become an ai! good input / training data = good output
just find something with characters and ask yourself why do you like this character, what is it about this entity that makes you enjoy them
...i don't play games ><
i rarely get attached to a character, but when I do get get quite obsessed π€
you dont need to be attached, you just need to like them
..seems like i could use these teachings then
the strict lawful good, always ties his shoelaces, cleans himself.
This can be salvaged via backstory on how the person has to be perfect all the time. Reminds me of Isabela from Encanto. Has to be a perfect child all the time.
Don't remember shonen protagonist that is wimpy, most of them are annoyingly genki.
Evangelion is probably closer to a seinen than a shounen plot wise.
I can get attached to "worlds" though
@cold aspen thats not a bad thing to compare it to
wait i meant weak but brave F my writing
I'm quite obsessed with Witcher 3's world
Jesus π
the factions, characters, myths etc
i play a lot of CRPG and other kinds of RPG games where characters are the #1 main focus
and usually in these games the characters are
not good people
seen it twice. Amazing story. Knows how to write Nagisa as a True Psychopath.
There are sections of annoyance with power fantasy sometimes
and in a game like that, you realize what makes some characters good
Nagisa is not really psychopath though π€
He is
nope
i really don't recall a single instance where he was
he does it a lot......
he is just a good assasin i think,
Got any character that you're obsessed with at the moment?
even before they know he's a good assassin.
inb4 geralt
puk
puck
eren's pfp
older pfp lol
I'd put Nagisa as High Functioning Psychopath. High due to having high empathy.
well thats a complex topic.
||its because he is abused by his mother a lot||
I really really hate how Japanese stories depicts psychopaths. It's so annoying and stupid.
||he had to understand wtf is going on with her since he was a child||
that and genetics
idk about that, not an expert of biology
ok see the issue here is that psychopaths in general have very little empathy, if you have someone with a LOT of empathatic traits, they are not really psychopathic
Is Natsuki Subaru that guy from Re:Zero?
yep
his mother is a control freak.
Nagisa became perfect with controlling his emotions and his actions due to the abuse.
psychos do not feel like a normal person, they are in a constant numbness and void
You can have both. It's real. There are many people with ASPD who are trying their best to get emotion/empathy through therapy
he is
ok
aight has anyone tried feeling devoid of all emotions just to achieve something? it feels like you ate a bunch of painkillers.
Can't see too much similarity, though I would guess something like a tragic flawed hero due to circumstances, the one who do things because nobody else would.
yes psychopaths can feel empathy, its not that they dont feel anything, its more along the lines that a psychopath in general cannot feel empathy for other people and (usually) animals
tryna teach ya'll the psychopath perspective
but its entirely possible a psychopath can kill 4 people for lunch and then raise a garden of plants
I love how free Geralt is free with his choices, in that hellish environment, it's a unique one. Last two is mostly about not having a choice of giving up but keep continuing with constant suffering π
VERY possible for them to do that
and when it comes to psychopathic or sociopathic behaviours, many do not simply kill or behave in an uncaring or violent way because they are psycho/sociopaths
Also most common similarity is being dependent to friends or known ones between three
many Japanese Anime characters always go for that
I hate it
but rather many dont because they either dont want the repercussions, want to fit into social norms or even are just too lazy to do it
both three thinks (or dont think but they are) they are in the middle of the earth, their actions shape the world etc. but they need their friends to continue otherwise they keep fuck up
they physically do not feel the connection, but they can still build that connection
the same way you have a connection with your phone, you clean it, you care for it so it doesnt break
you use it to get stuff done
but if your phone dies, i mean
its not that big of a deal.
get a new one.
i remember reading a smol article about psychopats do not kill because of their nature but their nature indirectly allows them to decide killing someone more easier compared to a normal person
Kororo sensei is a good example of a psychopath trying to emotionally improve. That's to the teacher he loved.
the way i put psycho/sociopathy in terms of stories: violence and murder is never the first thing that crosses a psychopaths mind, but its not out of the question
the gun is on the table, but that doesnt mean they will go for it.
this
korosensei is not (and never was) a psycho either
killer != psycho
you cant be psycho after an age
incorrect
psychopathy is the brain not making specific connections, its just the wires not hooking up
if you suffer a traumatic brain injury(god forbid), you could develop psychopathic tendencies
psychopathy is also a personality disorder and after some point your personality is fixed to something, and without some hellish trauma you can't change more than slightly
supposed to hook up during childhood stage
incorrect.
personality disorders can happen at any age and peoples personalities change
no you werent tito
eren was
Who's puck? The one from re:zero?
any event traumatic enough can change a person.
amazing that a child can server connections in their brains
I'm not saying it cant happen at any age, it's just some specific ones requires a physical issue with your brain like you said to happen
oh there's a term for those too
You cant make someone narcissistic after age of 40 either
defence mechanism shape behaviors
if a person grows poor and feels like a failure to society, they wont be narcissistic
if they suddenly gain millions upon millions of dollars
top tier celebrity
mass fame
narcissism is not the same as egotistical
they might end up becoming narcissistic because they dont know how to handle this power.
Narcissism is not something simple like that
ANY kind of narcissism has roots to childhood
argument was invalid
@edgy ice some info you might want.
Primary Psychopathy: born with
Secondary Psychopathy: made to
^
this
but the idea you cant be sociopathic or psychopathic after an age is blatently false
yeah it was some cat, eren said eren loved it before
Ok, I was wrong at that though I was mostly arguing about korosensei's background so I'll throw a while flag on that one
What I tried to say was you cant turn someone to psycho with emotional traumas
#anime-lounge
but i do completely agree with the previous statements, japan has a VERY poor demonstration on socio/psychopathic folks
I have a friend who is Secondary Psychopath very early in age, because he was forced to kill a pig and chopped it up. Didn't get a chance to fix his connection with empathy. Now he's a business demon.
in general japan still struggles to grasp and accept emotional and mental disorders actually
dark triad, nice
it's really sad bros
empathy is for weaklings
i read an article just saying hello and good morning to people constantly and helping people for no reason helps dark triads a lot
I only learned empathy through by mimic other people
if done for a long time
what is a dark triad
it does
3 types of personality disorders that contains lack of empathy as common similarity
A triad that is not bright
those personalities are very successful in their jobs etc
and more charismatic as nature
i mean, he isn't really. shadow was fine
edgy
but this was the 2000s
everyone was edgy.
sonic movie 3 have release date
ohh
my all time favourite about being a psychopath
Just do not give a damn of what people think. Just be confident no matter how people pull you down. People don't like it? doesn't matter. Be confident
the most useful thing to have in all forms. Charisma
i recall a friend who killed his mother and sister, that's primary psychopath? he was kinda like, always told he isn't good etc from a young age
A Dark Empath can do a fun trick with Charisma.
Learning people's dark secret in 1 hour, and make them feel like you're best friends.
Dang...
being a psychopath is a big price for gaining those behaviors though
yikes WHEW
so .. is that primary or
there are a lot of ups and downs. Never perfect
generally i wouldnt like anything about being sociopath or psychopath
I learning emotions is worth it to anyone who is high on manipulation
adoring the having ability of manipulation signs you desire it though π
I think we can all agree that none of us are therapists
no wonder my kids left me
!8ball will my kids ever love me back?
@cold aspen, :8ball: My reply is no.
THIS
is that a real thing or some pun i missed
!8ball does he even have kids
@proud jay, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
IS THE SECOND TIME
i wish I was though, they are damn expensive
idk never been to one, would probably not be allowed to walk around freely if I ever did
i will be your therapist! so what's up?! have a seat ! let's get closer so we can hear each other better!!!!! π€
dad?
so what's up?!
i hate grapes and hugs
Dieter being based π
how come we failed to ignore that sentence though
he got us
i see! so what made you think of them?
is this real then ? π’
I should've let myself get disconnected to a point I kept romanticizing my dark past and my glory days too much
now we need #therapy
everything on the internet is real
whats up with the grapes anyways lol
i havnt been here too long and thats one the one running gag i still dont get rofl
is not rofl
half-half. Didn't get to process the adoption papers. I went crazy and lost everything.
there's a yellow pfp guy here @ ben, he loved them a bit too much
Sometimes I do regret having psychopath traits
i am not sure what to make of that but π , is that okay then ?!
You really wanna know about grapes?
2 of the prime suspects are literally above you...
The obsession of power got me π₯²
remember bois. Don't make tough decisions when you're desperate.
oh i mainly only drink harder stuff, rum, whiskey, vodka
i like using wine for cooking
lamb shanks in red wine is heaven
atleast you learned from it!
I am just not a fan of apple pie. Or whatever that is.
i think
from what i remember I did, then did the same thing again and again
π π₯§
pineapple on pizza?
also Nagisa is still a psychopath for me. He has specific traits that I have
nutella on lahmacun
I'm down.
pineapple on pizza is aight, its not something i enjoy but ive had it
he has specific traits I have too Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Peachy pizza?
not as bad as the internet makes it out, but not good
which ones?
I don't have his positive traits
The real question is, anchovies on pizza?!
i have news for you then ..
Pineapple on a burger.
i mean, anchovies on pizza tastes like anchovies lol
real talk
i live in NY, we got DA PIZZA
and ive had it and its just
i taste anchovies.
thats it
barely taste the cheese or the sauce
its like, a waste of pizza
that looks like mineral ores
One of the favorite traits that I can relate to is his ability to do anything to kill finish an objective, while disregarding everything humanely possible. Lie, manipulate, or sacrifice self or others to succeed.
at least she wont be iron deficient...
Salty Licorice + pineapple on pizza
If you have DA PIZZA can't even find the right mix of pizza and anchovy, your whole state (and country) is doing it wrong.
bah dont give me that italian crap
I mean, it's true for everything else you guys do, so I guess it goes for pizza too.
italian pizza is boring as hell
yep
lamest most boring shit
they have a whole pizza council to make it as homogenous as possible
not joking btw
thats a thing.
sauce?
Old Neapolitan pizza masters, given the spreading of fast-food chains and the large use - sometimes inappropriate- of the denomination βOriginal Neapolitan Pizzaβ, decided to found an association based on a protocol in order to protect and increase the value of the pizzas produced and processed according to the old Neapolitan traditions and cust...
oh yea
Turkey doesnt have a nice pizza restourant
another thing too
its boring lol
we're up to damn dominos
its just d u l l
processed pasta is better
uhhhhh, yes and no
These pizzas look terrible.
because fresh pasta has more issues than the hard pasta don't
@timber viper
theres zero difference between rough grain soft pasta and hard processed pasta
yes
but fresh pasta has 1. a different texture and 2. cooks quicker
oh god I'm so hungry
and 3. is bougie
for my day to day i wouldnt use it
but if im impressing a lady or a friend or im having a gathering
you bet your ass im getting some of the fresh stuff
I'm short. My intimidation wouldn't take effect
But I'm good at talking
just pick the cheapest and the delish
you are quite into cooking i guess
pasta from the grocery, lez go
There's a Slavic version of it
what is "it"? failed to find it above the convo
@timber viper
goulash!
I think its Hungarian π€
i am kinda saying goulash like golash like lorash
I ain't eatin this pizza
name reminded me of "gullac" but not even relevant
trash
Somebody above said it was turkish, forgot who.
I read it as goo-lush.
nope, its not Turkish
I had a hawaiian pizza once that had the usual ham and pineapple, but added cashews. Excellent addition!
its Hungarian
@deep copper I been cooking since I was a young boy, ma used to make me cook my own food if I was hungry lol
And then COVID happened, meaning I was out of work and school and fucks to give
my homies love, flavour-explosive pizzas
This pizza looks like shit
aww that's sweet π₯
So I started getting better at cooking
This pizza looks good.
American Pizza enjoyers
are those small tomatoes or huge pizza
Ichinose most likely don't drink vodka.
Vodka is great
how do you know?
I love Brandy
Tastes good, kicks like a mule, good for cooking
And doesn't lie to you
Unlike tequila
Tequila is a filthy lying traitor
All alcohol tastes awful. If you like it, you've been indoctrinated.
yeah i heard it's bitter
Not indoctrinated, I'm polish.
beer starts to taste nice after 2nd one
all of it
It's in my genes
Wow! I love getting told "You're too dependent on alcohol"
Also alcohol is good in food and cakes.
I heard polish people are aggressive
Not really. Rum and raisin is a good ice cream flavour, though.
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
oh go-
wasabi feels normal, for now
are you mako?
Real wasabi or fake wasabi?
eyedrops
huh... interesting...
Oh, you mean @edgy ice appearing normal, not aggressive?
Also Polaks aren't.... aggressive? Were more like.....dwarves.
yes! π€ π
We get things done, hate foofoo
Dwarves are commonly betrayed as foul tempered drunks.
And are hopelessly stubborn
I'm going to be in austria for a month with no pc
can i join you?
godot has an engine I can use via android
Do I look like I have green rainbow eyes?
business trip
Wait, you're bad at references... π
damn Python
It being a business trip hasn't stopped people before.
show me your eyes π
isn't that slower than C++ but has lotsa hard process?
Python?
yeah
it's easy to work in but slow
I heard it's good for AI
the AI part is because it uses libraries that use C
If you used c++ it'd probalby be better than python. Python is just easy to use for noobs.
python is mostly C basically
for some reason, a lot of AI development uses Python. ALOOOOOOOOT
in terms of it's base not the language
This GIF came up with "Haskell"
ποΈ ποΈ

It's easy to write and pretty neat syntax wise
Because they have artificial intelligence, not the actual intelligence required for c++ !
shaky
i mean commonly used for Deep Neural Networks
it's because it uses libraries, and all AI libraries of python use cython which is using loops etc of C, and C is super quick
oh cython
so you call functions and all written in C using python which is easy to write in
Python expert spotted!
opening a file is just "open(filename)" π
!8ball should I trust this python user?
i recall trying C++ idk what i did but nothing qorked out lmao
@cold aspen, :8ball: Don't count on it.
You're a python programmer aren't you?
no i just use it because it's easy, like dae said
