Cucumis sativus would be a cucumber

[primal summit]

because they needed a name?

[deep copper]

i meant like, the scientific names of creatures are long and different from common names, so why did they thought using berry is good

[hollow dawn]

berries are hard to differentiate from bears anyway

[primal summit]

a classification for easy discussion of a group

[deep copper]

like strawberries and watermelons, yeah

well it is what it is i guess

they probably had their reasons

[primal summit]

because that does nothing to identify the class, only certain subtypes

[deep copper]

the right to bear arm

[primal summit]

the right to arm bears

[hollow dawn]

arm bears, bear arms... hmmmm... dadaism

[hollow dawn]

now imagine him with a sword and a funny hat

[deep copper]

i wish i knew what this means 😭

[deep copper]

a carrier ship with 20 fighter planes

[primal summit]

https://tenor.com/view/panda-guns-gif-13647137

[deep copper]

that reload is cool

[bleak remnant]

There's also like hundreds of different languages which doesn't help either

[deep copper]

it looks like a psychopath

[hollow dawn]

well 2 fighter planes, dont go overboard with it... hihi

[deep copper]

and some have similar names and some don't

ananas are a great example which most languages use for some reason

[bleak remnant]

For what

[deep copper]

some fruit idk

pineapple maybe

[hollow dawn]

pineapple kinda makes sense shape wise

ananas is just a fantasy word

but ananas def sounds nicer

[deep copper]

banana is anana too with a b

[hollow dawn]

mmmh ure onto somin

[carmine frigate]

there is also bananas

but thats just crazy

[deep copper]

i just meant most languages use ananas xD

[primal summit]

bear comes from braun, ultimately from "the brown one", while other languages actually have nondescriptive names for the animal

[deep copper]

that is quite interesting

[hollow dawn]

hu O.o

[deep copper]

it looks same in text but speech is quite different

[carmine frigate]

a panda brown?

https://tenor.com/view/angry-panda-gif-25756884

[deep copper]

i wonder if it was communicated through written words and changed or something

[deep copper]

a praun?

[hollow dawn]

the sound is quite different... but according to wiki björn means brown too lol

[deep copper]

man

pronouncing bj together is weird

[hollow dawn]

panda is chinese so chinese bear would be.... bianji.... that sounds like björn! XD

at least the same amount of dots above the letters

[deep copper]

it all sounds similar, so bears were always 5-6 letter word with B

and n

[hollow dawn]

mmmh

[deep copper]

i wonder if that's where beard came from too

[hollow dawn]

luckily we finally have the internet and can adjust our words

[deep copper]

you are weird like a bear, so beard

[hollow dawn]

what about a moustache then?

cause you look like a mouse? or cause mouse au chocolat gets stuck?

mouse attache

oh, it looks like a mouse attached to you

[deep copper]

or a mouse stashed onto you

well it sounds like moose

[primal summit]

attache is not quite the same as attached...

[deep copper]

i think that's also some animal

[primal summit]

attache or moose?

[deep copper]

moose

[primal summit]

moose is almost the opposite of mouse, it's a particularly large ungulate

[hollow dawn]

has adorable ears too tho

[deep copper]

hmmm

[deep copper]

i gave you the chicken you give me the hug

[hollow dawn]

cool tunes btw

[hollow dawn]

yes yes, a carp always pays his debts, there you go, a hug

https://tenor.com/view/alexa-bliss-braun-strowman-wwe-mmc-mixed-match-challenge-gif-10712077

[proud jay]

oh no, one of my favorite artist just started selling his new songs as nft 😔

[soft night]

are you getting those?

[proud jay]

lol no

[soft night]

the verification i have seen is Veriff and Anima protocol

[proud jay]

?

[soft night]

the decentralized ID verification process what some use

[deep copper]

yay you are a good carp 🥳

[deep copper]

now your Spotify minutes will go down

[proud jay]

why

[deep copper]

because your fav artist sells songs as nft so it's probably not on Spotify?

[hollow dawn]

honestly thats prolly a good thing, not sure if NFTs are perfect, but having the actual creator payed everytime their product gets traded, sounds descent and fair

[proud jay]

no, it's an art piece

not really a full song

[proud jay]

that's not necesasirly the case

[deep copper]

weird 🤔 , so it doesn't matters to you?

[proud jay]

no

also, he posted them on youtube

so I can still look/listen if I wanted to

[deep copper]

that sounds like he is just trying to make some extra money then without making usual listeners be effected

i think it's good

[proud jay]

he can do what he wants

I'm just an NFT hater

[deep copper]

and i am a hugger so hug me

[hollow dawn]

lol

well i got put off when they told me that its 700 bucks to brand an artpiece... like yo... srsly? XD nope thx... ill get a traditional copyright then thx

[deep copper]

doesn't making an nft not do anything for copyright

[hollow dawn]

i mean depnded on ETH trading price but still

well, if you created the piece you usually get a fee everytime soebody sells it on, so copyright doesnt matter as much, they cant be copied, well they can but its a different piece then XD its silly tbh

[deep copper]

that really makes little sense but it's nft so i guess it's "why not"

[proud jay]

not at all

[proud jay]

depends on the contract

[hollow dawn]

but lets say youre a musician, if you want money from the radio stations etc that play your music, you need a company in that country to go after the fees, for every country that you wanna collect in, would be nicer if you automaticially got payed no matter if somebody comes collecting

[proud jay]

there's contracts that pay once

and there's contracts that pay on every trade

[hollow dawn]

ya the "fuel" or whatever XD

the 700 was the initial setup fee, based on eth at the time...

[deep copper]

getting payed is always a pain

[hollow dawn]

we should return to hug based economies is what youre saying?

sounds sounds tbh, banks couldnt just make up money, theyd need to employ actual people who can hug around, hugs dont change in value either

you might have more people who can produce hugs, but at the same time demand for hugs would rise

its brilliant

[proud jay]

getting paid on the other hand is nice

[hollow dawn]

ya, but if you got paid in hugs, you wouldnt be able to get more hugs than you need, since they cant be stored, youd be responsible with your currency and not be able to waste it

[deep copper]

when you hug, you give a hug but also get a hug

for refund, you get a hug but also give one

[deep copper]

i knew it sounded fishy !!

[deep copper]

"hey let's make a mmo, i pay you one virtual hug a month"

[hollow dawn]

...if i can pay for pizza and rent in hugs...

and one hug a month is really a bit on the low end

[deep copper]

imagine hugging sweaty busy workers, you can wipe of their sweat atleast so it's worth that i guess

[hollow dawn]

bottle it up, sell it for more hugs

[deep copper]

imagine how quickly covid would've spread

[hollow dawn]

anicent romans did that too

[deep copper]

they... bottled hugs?

[hollow dawn]

sweat

[proud jay]

that's why there's no more romans

[deep copper]

that's really a weird and difficult thing to bottle

but then again people can bottle a ship

[hollow dawn]

gladiators used to rub themselves with olive oil after training, then scraped it off with a wooden stick, into amphoras, to sell to rich ladies

[deep copper]

what was it's use?

[hollow dawn]

anyones guess what spoiled rich people do with sweat

[deep copper]

cook

use as makeup?

so it feels like they worked a lot

[hollow dawn]

see, you already found a market for it

[deep copper]

xD what did they use it for though

[hollow dawn]

skin moisturizer? dunno lol

[deep copper]

also, what did gladiators buy with the money, weren't they locked up or something

[hollow dawn]

nah, many gladiators did it as a job... like MMA today

they got fancy stuff

[deep copper]

okay i guess dieter was right, that's why there are no more romans

[deep copper]

like a painless wooden stick to scrap themselves...

[hollow dawn]

i mean most were prolly locked up tho, but still got stuff to be motivated or whatever

japanese massage uses a stick too... totally painless... mmmh... never would i lie lol

[deep copper]

imagine if they bought each other's sweat

[hollow dawn]

thats probablly illegal, such a sheme

[deep copper]

those needle things?

[hollow dawn]

nah, like a wooden stick they use to brutally scrape your foot sole and such

if you dont scream it didnt work

[deep copper]

sheesh

have you tried it?

[hollow dawn]

yes -.-

[deep copper]

ow

[hollow dawn]

we were just kids!

[deep copper]

there there

let me rub your foot

[hollow dawn]

thanks

[deep copper]

😢

[primal summit]

aphrodesiac or fertility salve or potion, I'd guess

[deep copper]

sweat can do all that ?

[primal summit]

anything can be claimed to do that

[deep copper]

xD

[primal summit]

very little actually works reliably

[deep copper]

my hugs can solve something for you, try it !

[primal summit]

that assumes I need things solved

[deep copper]

you do! you just don't know it yet

[primal summit]

I doubt hugs can accomplish my 3 biggest goals

eh, 4 biggest

[deep copper]

what are those ?

[primal summit]

wall off the coastal states and sink them
increase local rainfall by at least 50%
increase local snowfall by 200%
get more free time for my hobbies

3/4ths involve interesting engineering challenges and billions of dollars in funding

[deep copper]

if hugs become a currency you would be rich as you invested early

[deep copper]

hugs are a sort of wall so that can do it to an extent
if we hug the warmth will get concentrated which might also increase snowfall and rainfall, since we will warm each other, not the environment

if you hug, you won't think about other tasks, hence you will get free time

[primal summit]

Hugs are unlikely to be a viable currency. Too easy to forge, hard to verify transfer, almost impossible to restrict creation to combat inflation. It'd be like the reichmark...

[deep copper]

if it's like crypto, you can profit off of it early and get out before it gets chaotic

if it's hard to verify transfer, we can just, transfer it again?

it's easy to forge so that it is decentralised, and anyone, even someone without hugs, can make it

well inflation won't get higher than the population, control over population and it should work

[primal summit]

that seperates the value of creation from work performed, and indeed incentivizes not working

[primal summit]

hand me a rifle...

[deep copper]

i can hand you me

[primal summit]

that's exactly the problem! If you can keep reusing the same source, unlike, for instance, gold boullion, you can keep transferring the same earned source hug many times

[deep copper]

it incentizes hugging, which has health benefits. and if you think that you will get hugged after working, isn't that plenty incentive?

[primal summit]

It'd incentivize not working, so you could hug all day to buy basically everything you want for no work. It gives no incentive to create. If a candy bar costs a 1 second hug, a 27 hour hug buys a cheap house.

[deep copper]

it's like UDP, that tcp and udp thing. you gotta repeat it till the transfer is verified

[primal summit]

I could spend 2 weeks becoming a real estate slumlord

[deep copper]

yeah but the candy maker needs to create the candy so they get hugged, otherwise no one would hug them, they would instead hug more huggable things

[primal summit]

thus with reduced production and increased demand, prices skyrocket

[primal summit]

why, when they can hug for steaks and a nice tv?

[deep copper]

are you seriously trying to use facts and logic to destroy an argument made without it? xD

[deep copper]

that's because those people are too busy verifying hugs of others

[primal summit]

yep!

[deep copper]

they need their own customers

just hug me, it's simple

[thin aspen]

There was a fight outside my kids school today, nobody won

Carry on

[deep copper]

that sounds like a line i heard about wars, "no one wins" or something

[thin aspen]

The only winners in a war are the people who manufacture the weapons and the ammunition

And the gasoline companies

[deep copper]

if they are from the same country they also lose, because prices of other commodities increase and general quality of life gets bad, right?

[thin aspen]

Usually but most manufacturers of the various goods rarely live in the countries where the fighting takes place

[primal summit]

Look at the US during WWII, pulled out of a recession by using huge available resource pools of people and raw material.

[thin aspen]

I was just about to say that

[primal summit]

without WWI and WWII, we'd be far less technologically advanced than we are

necessity is the mother of invention

[thin aspen]

It also brought about the socialist good natured programs that nobody likes to talk about as well

It also showed the value in having brand names

[primal summit]

they ultimately worked out as a net population gain too

[deep copper]

hmmm, so i suppose everyone's a winner with war in the long run

[thin aspen]

Just America

[deep copper]

but technology kinda got shared

[primal summit]

true, but that's not what you said

[thin aspen]

Not out of the kindness of peoples hearts though

[primal summit]

countless people lost, humanity as a whole experiences a net gain

[thin aspen]

Not only do you have the war, you have the rebuilding period after the war

[deep copper]

so .. best case scenario is always let half the world stay at war ?

[primal summit]

AU sees only absolutes, black and white, not the fine details

[deep copper]

yes! it's either a hug or no hug at all!

[primal summit]

it's not that simple

[thin aspen]

More like let there be perpetual war

[deep copper]

if we take around 30% to be at war, the others can rebuild, and provide resources for it

and we cycle through different parts so there's equal gain and loss

[primal summit]

low-intensity conflict and unrest

[thin aspen]

War is a pretty interesting thing that has some really interesting consequences

[hollow dawn]

actually no, it hindered scientific advancement more than it advanced it

[deep copper]

weren't there weird inhumane experiments during wars? we got plenty knowledge from that time

[thin aspen]

We got whatever we got from that and loads more

[hollow dawn]

there is raely any scientific innovation during a war, its usually done before a war, nobody has the time or ressources to do research when you could make ammo

[deep copper]

reminds me, i did see some inventions that stopped during that time which were really cool

[hollow dawn]

well thats true but unrelated to the war itself, more to immoral aquisition of knowledge during occupation of a foreign country

[thin aspen]

Good time to remind people that the US didn’t exactly disagree with Germany during WW2

[deep copper]

and they also don't release all of that knowledge because questionable

[thin aspen]

And im sure they weren’t the only ones

[hollow dawn]

well the US gladly took all the research of japanese scientists in mandshuko, they prolly did the same with german stuff

[thin aspen]

They did more than that with Germany

They gave the Germans a place to thrive

[hollow dawn]

and gave half of them to stalin

[deep copper]

it's starting to sound a lot more like only the general population looses in war

[thin aspen]

There is specific thinking seen in America that can be directly attributed to Germans from the WW2 era

[hollow dawn]

yep

[thin aspen]

Correct

[hollow dawn]

well the ww2 history is mostly from the mouths of german generals

[thin aspen]

Not thinking that is unique to America however Americans are the most vocal about it now

[hollow dawn]

so... kinda biased

[deep copper]

what kind of thinking exactly?

[primal summit]

radar, nuclear power, treaded vehicles, improved engine efficiency, fuel injection... total wars are a fight for survival

[hollow dawn]

for efficency... not for advancement per se, stuff gets optimized due to mass production, but not much research into new stuff goes on

[thin aspen]

Those of the Frankfurt school professors

[primal summit]

fuel efficiency was a huge thing

switching from coal to oil for ships

[hollow dawn]

those are pre war inventions tho

[primal summit]

radar to see the enemies coming, even at night

nuclear power was decidedly not, and while the rest are loosely iterative improvements, they're very significant in that regard

[hollow dawn]

nuke power was developed pre war, research into it got rather interrupted by it tbh, bohr and einstein in exile etc, the practical application in the us happened once the war was kinda over, germany was done, japan was loosing, they had ressources to spare

[primal summit]

ok, technically nuclear power was solidified post-war but the concept arose during the manhattan project

[hollow dawn]

well ya, we can say war was the motivation to build nukes

[deep copper]

it's weird how we can blow up countries but people still die from insects.
our offense increased a lot but defense is kinda meh at times

[hollow dawn]

train other insects, spiders and wasps can be your friends

wasps love grape bushes for example

[deep copper]

Wow my state just offered me SEAP (Self-Employment Assistance Program) "If you dream of starting your own business and qualify for the SEAP, you can have the financial support you need to pay your bills while you work on that dream!"

I hope i become a business owner! This would be amazing.

Thanks! I can't wait to actually hear from them about this 😄

[proud jay]

being self employed would be nice, but the insecurity and finding clients scares me

[primal summit]

silkies and a rooster, so you're hatching to sell I'm betting?

[proud jay]

they're not his

[primal summit]

ahh, he should get some

[cursive crypt]

Never thought having a business to be hard (self-employed). It is how to make money out of it the biggest issue.

[proud jay]

well of course 🙂

not dying of starvation is the hard part

[cursive crypt]

If the survival games I played are to be believed, yes.

[unreal ether]

If survival games taught me anything is that those conspicuous red berries on that bush are indeed edible and you should eat all of them with no hesitation

(I am not liable for any deaths caused by conspicuous berry consumption)

[primal summit]

also just grab any mushrooms for soup

[primal summit]

I am also not liable

[unreal ether]

Yep, and don't forget, if you strafe hard enough you can probably best a grizzly in a fist fight

I also think the construction industry could learn from survival games.

Like have they tried just holding the blueprint and looking at where they want the part of the building to appear?

[hollow dawn]

yeah, they usually do that, and then the scripts kicks in and many npc carry stuff and attach it unti its done, but due to fps issues, sometimes stuff goes wrong and you have bugs, and ants

[proud jay]

damn ran out of coal so hard, that the arms that are feeding the coal in to my boilers were not doing anything anymore, making the boilers not run, making no electricity

Outlander (1981)

[remote fog]

Thanks, added them to my list! I loved The Expanse, if you didn't watch yet, I can also suggest Battlestar Galactica (TV Show)

[remote fog]

thanks!

[mossy nexus]

ugh.. I really disliked that movie.

[hollow dawn]

ya, aint a happy movie

Prospector was imo rly surprisingly good albeit a bit cheap in fx maybe, but damn great atmosphere

Dune was like a darn teaser for the actual 10h epic movie XD

[primal summit]

independence day is an old favorite, as is andromeda strain, serenity, and contact

[hollow dawn]

firefly is a good show on which serenity is based if you didnt see it yet

but firefly good

[primal summit]

ahh yes, pitch black

and we can't forget the last jedi, a new hope, and the empire strikes back

thats the old ones? cus the new ones are too silly for me, i mean the old ones are borderline fairy tale alrdy but allright, i loved em as a kid

[primal summit]

yep, originals

[primal summit]

the wrath of kahn (his name), not the wrath of the khan (a title he did not hold)

[hollow dawn]

mmh well, he was kinda a khan tho... rules his lands and all

"ruled"... before exile

he just wasnt the great khan... but still the greatest of those uberhumans allegedly

wait... is it khan or kahn?

google says khan... so just like djingis, but his parents saw what he would become and named him accordingly tooo so he is Khan Khan... like those french dancers...
logic

[primal summit]

oh, you're right, khan

but still his name

[hollow dawn]

yep

confusing

[cursive crypt]

Use the 1st Inserters, the Burner (they gray) ones. They don't need electricity and even if they are slow, they can boot up your electrical network, just by passing them whatever solid fuel you have.

[hollow dawn]

why do you people have coal power plants at home?

[cursive crypt]

coz the factory must grow

[hollow dawn]

"so we played factorio and thought, hey, this might just aswell work in real life too"

[cursive crypt]

It is sushi belts to next level.

[hollow dawn]

"sure, little kevin has to sleep in the basement, on a pile of coal now, but we did it, self sufficency, next step, a gas turbine"

[cursive crypt]

Turns out coals are pretty useful things btw. There are tons of stuff extracted from them.

[hollow dawn]

dinosaur dna?

those weight tons

[cursive crypt]

creosote e.g.

coal gas too

[thin aspen]

First bug I experienced in Callisto protocol is if you stand by a wall and you get killed the player goes through the wall

[proud jay]

can't I just put the fuel in my boiler directly then?

[proud jay]

isn't that only coming out tomorrow

or is that like a preorder super deluxe bonus to start sooner

[cursive crypt]

They don't use 🌩️ so they can feed the boiler themselves as long as they see a coal say.

You can also fuel the boiler yourself too, I do that frequently 🙂

When I screw my supply somehow. That's why I usually keep a chest with coal or something around. In case of emergencies.

[proud jay]

another question, I see the accumulator to solar panel ratio online

but can accumulators also store excess steam engine energy?

I would guess so

[cursive crypt]

meh, discover it yourself 💪

no

They store only electrical.

You can store steam in tanks tho 😉

[proud jay]

that's kinda wild though isn't it

cause it's producing electricitty

[cursive crypt]

No, the accumulator is only storing it 🤔

Or the battery basically.

[proud jay]

yeah no

the steam machine

[cursive crypt]

Ah...

What about it?

[proud jay]

they make electricity

[thin aspen]

The place I preordered it from delivered it this morning

[cursive crypt]

y

[proud jay]

can that electricity also be stored in accumulator?

[cursive crypt]

Yes.

[proud jay]

cool cool

now I just need to find some oil to make sulfur to make batteries to make those

[cursive crypt]

lol, yea

[thin aspen]

Not gonna question it at all. It’s pretty nice though. I haven’t played dead space or pubg or any of that so the controls are something I have to get used to

[cursive crypt]

This is, I think, the biggest leap. Switching to oil resources. Because it gatekeeps important stuff behind the blue science.

[proud jay]

yeah

I'm still in my starting spot

made a car to go explore

taking a few hundred railways with me

[cursive crypt]

Nice, cars annoy me a bit, they kinda stumble on everything. Grass, trees, rocks, whatever.

[proud jay]

yeah

but it's faster than by foot still

[cursive crypt]

It is an walking simulator basically.

So much walking tired-face.jpg

hmm... may copper spot is gone... sheesh, I hope I don't need to rollback to stone age because of that.

[proud jay]

very close to having that happen lol

for iron though

[cursive crypt]

Kinda avoid watching too much of online stuff. Kinda gets away the fun of discovering on your own. At least in the beginning (first several hundred hours).

The only thing I have looked on are the belt balancers, because they are kinda black magic which I don't see the point of learning.

[proud jay]

well I just looked up how to get sulfur

cause I saw I needed it but idk how to get it

[cursive crypt]

Just look at the tech tree?

YSK there is a Search capability there, you type Sulfur, you get the Tech.

Any fans of Nightwish or Kamelot here?

I've been on a symphonic metal kick lately.

Big fan of both bands, but for one reason or another, I went quite a while not really listening to or following either one.

So I've been catching up over the past week or so.

[carmine frigate]

somehow lounge made me think it were anime series 😄

[bronze axle]

We do have a lot of anime fans here.

Myself included.

[turbid spindle]

[bronze axle]

Ah, Infected Mushroom are pretty great.

[carmine frigate]

guitrmass bangs

[bronze axle]

Never heard this one! I'm listening now.

I listened to a lot of psy trance in the late 90s and early 2000s.

[carmine frigate]

yea they been around

a lot of it is super weird 😛

[bronze axle]

Yeah definitely. A lot of psy trance artists experiment with very strange sounds.

It's a pretty unique vibe.

[broken sigil]

Love some of their stuff

[bronze axle]

My favorite Nightwish song is Ghost Love Score.

I listened to them a lot back when Tarja was their singer.

Tarja was great, but after hearing their current singer, Floor Jansen, I actually prefer her. She's incredible.

This performance gives me chills.

https://youtu.be/wEERFBI9eCg

[bronze axle]

Both fantastic tracks!

[broken sigil]

Check out Epica, Lord of the lost and Sabaton (if you haven't)

[bronze axle]

Epica is another great one.

Not familiar with Lord of the Lost or Sabaton, although I recently heard about Sabaton for the first time.

I think Floor's husband is part of Sabaton.

[broken sigil]

Lord of the lost has some really good stuff

[bronze axle]

I think his name is Hannes van Dahl.

[broken sigil]

Also Within Temptation are really good too
https://youtu.be/S7sOZ_TFUXg

[bronze axle]

Ohhh definitely.

I listened to a ton of Within Temptation in college.

Still enjoy their music.

[broken sigil]

Oh yeah he is a drummer for Sabaton

[bronze axle]

Yeah! That's him.

He's married to the current singer of Nightwish.

[broken sigil]

Oh didn't know that

[bronze axle]

I saw an interview with the two of them. I love the way he described meeting Floor.

[fleet tangle]

I fucking love Nightwish.

[carmine frigate]

a lot of my old deathmetal heroes are dead 😛

[bronze axle]

"Here is an opera singer who likes Pantera and smokes cigars and drinks whiskey. I was like 'What the hell is going on here? I have to marry this woman.' And so I did!"

[bronze axle]

I was sad to hear that Marko Hietala left the band recently.

[broken sigil]

also recently discovered Mushroomhead, love their stuff too
https://youtu.be/NxviGrBMKKY
https://youtu.be/_-zWpdq3_2s

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS is also really good
https://youtu.be/_yFH-O05uS0

[bronze axle]

I'm familiar but haven't heard their stuff in a long time. I should catch up on them too.

[bronze axle]

I heard this band mentioned recently, too! Soo much metal to catch up on. Gonna be a fun December.

[broken sigil]

Also love ODDKO but can't post any of their music videos, they are kinda nsfw 😅 (not anything too bad but still)

[bronze axle]

I just recently got introduced to The Warning. They're pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlOy0XbFVlM

Pretty cool to see a 3-piece metal band.

[broken sigil]

oo I like it, more stuff to add to my playlist 😅

The Pretty Reckless is also pretty good
https://youtu.be/hRAdR9ryTbk

[bronze axle]

Added to my Watch Later list.

I've been getting so many metal recommendations lately, it's great.

[carmine frigate]

slayer 😛

[bronze axle]

Quite familiar with Slayer. I grew up on metal and they were big in the 90s.

Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Anthrax, etc.

[broken sigil]

I'm always surprised how many people actually listen to metal but no one really talks about it much
Feel like it's because some people still have that dumb stereotype of Metal = bad, weirdo, etc...

[carmine frigate]

strongbad explained it

unless ur from norway or finland it wont get u chicks

[bronze axle]

lol

Not actually true, of course, but funny nonetheless.

Metal tends to explore darker stories and emotions, so the association with evil, drugs, delinquent behavior, etc. is not surprising.

However, there are many people in the world who enjoy metal as the art that it is without actually embodying what it explores.

[carmine frigate]

usually not a big fan of grunt singing

i do like fast drums

[broken sigil]

I don't like it either, I like clean vocals
But sometime it works well

[carmine frigate]

and elec guitar

[bronze axle]

Me neither, but I can appreciate it. I typically prefer classical or contemporary singing in metal rather than harsh screaming, but sometimes screaming is appropriate and even beautiful.

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/crazy-dance-funny-dance-michael-scott-dance-danse-marrante-debile-gif-21385827

ngl new Discord UI font looks more readable to me

Also yay I finally get access to forum channels, it's perfect for fanworks channels

[thin aspen]

I awoke serveral hours later in a daze

[bronze axle]

I like the new font, too.

Category names are a little narrower, which means they can be a little longer without being cut off.

Most of the letters look very crisp and clear to me.

My only complaint is that bold text doesn't stand out as much as it used to.

The difference in weight between bold and regular isn't drastic enough for my taste. Looks like 400 regular and 600 bold or something like that.

The new grid view is going to be great for art-centric forums. I'm planning to revamp the sharing category here with forum channels, and the grid view will be perfect for that.

[soft night]

the font on discord might be cleartype from windows XP

[bronze axle]

It's a custom font called GG Sans.

[bleak remnant]

gg

[hollow dawn]

so i google for like half an hour what japanese road markings mean... turns out they mean whatever... "dangerous" "only 2 wheeled vehicles" "things jump at you" "it will get you" "watch right" "drunk driving 15 points" and so on....

nothing beats australia so far tho "people jumping of this cliff have come to harm" "beware of swooping birds" "watch out for criminals"

[carmine frigate]

look out for the rolling stones is pretty good too

also upcoming sign in 500 meters

rolling stones are hell dangerous mate

[carmine frigate]

yea rolling stones fly half the time

[hollow dawn]

you meant rolling stoned i think, the hippie activity, where they roll around in mud

[carmine frigate]

i might have rolled in mud.. but i didnt inhale

[hollow dawn]

you know what they say about passive mudding

assumption: katsu decals improve all meshes

[quasi mantle]

Also #food as well 😉

[bronze axle]

Hm maybe. I didn't think of that.

[fleet tangle]

And maybe that "show off you work" channel?

[bronze axle]

It would certainly look better for browsing.

[bronze axle]

Part of the much-needed sharing revamp will be adding some new channels. 🙂

[fleet tangle]

Don't we already have that, though?

[bronze axle]

Well we have #work-in-progress and #released currently.

Both would benefit from a forum channel with the grid view.

[fleet tangle]

Yeah.

And the AI image gen channel.

[bronze axle]

Sigh, I guess so.

[fleet tangle]

Lol 🙂

[bronze axle]

That channel is... a thing that exists.

[primal summit]

Do not pick up hitchhikers. Prison facilities nearby.

[deep glen]

you know how hard it is to find a place that has this kind of food over here

https://giphy.com/gifs/filmeditor-disney-pixar-3o6wrvdHFbwBrUFenu

though nowadays we do have ramen-shops

[hollow dawn]

"military installation, do not discharge your firearm onto this property"

[hollow dawn]

not in japan myself, bratwurstland here... but you can usually get "panko" in most supermarkets now, and then you just make a schnitzel with panko \o/
getting proper bulldog sauce is a bit tricky thou

[deep glen]

i dont like supermarket stuffs

[hollow dawn]

then buy it in your favorite organic asia store

katsu is just a fancy schnitzel,
pork (tonkatsu) or chicken (torikatsu), thinly sliced, roll it in batter, or an egg, or both, then roll it in asian breadcrumbs called "panko", schnitzel would use normal breadcrumbs, but panko is lighter, more crunchy, type of breadcrumbs is really the only difference

if you just dont wanna cook yourself thats a different story, but a real samurai should try to master many crafts, cooking is a good craft, tastes yummy

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-dog-gif-18414176

ye, they dont bake it afaik, but electrozap it or somin

[fleet tangle]

Makes you wonder, how the fuck did they start making it?

[hollow dawn]

insert fat boy joke

[fleet tangle]

Has no idea what joke that might be

[hollow dawn]

"then lightning blasted the bakery" "the baguette was gone, but we had flakes, thin, crunchy flakes, that gently settled onto our bbq grill and wrapped themselves around our steaks"

[fleet tangle]

Maybe something like that.

Just about as crazy as the cornflakes story.

[hollow dawn]

kellogs was crazy... no question...

but he made fruit loops possible

[fleet tangle]

The invention of panko happened during World War II. While the Japanese were at war with the Russians, they wanted to eat bread out in the battlefields. Unable to bake the bread, the Japanese used their tanks’ batteries to quickly “bake” their bread. They discovered that the bread was extremely light and airy, with very small air pockets.

[hollow dawn]

but ye, yesterday we talked about how war crimes lead to scientific progress... kellogs health clinic thingie def fits that line of reasoning

[fleet tangle]

Crimes against morality, to be sure.

[hollow dawn]

gee crazy lol, interesting, gud to know tbh :D thx

[fleet tangle]

I find that rather fitting, but still somewhat apocryphal.

[hollow dawn]

they might not have been able to make a fire and bake on a stone or somin, had to stay in the tank or whatever, and the only means to heat somin was the electrical current

creates no light or smoke

[fleet tangle]

Sure it does.

[hollow dawn]

well no light visible from outside

[fleet tangle]

Have you tried electrocuting something?!

[hollow dawn]

uhm

ok smoke

but def less than a proper fire

[fleet tangle]

Yeah, probably.

Hehe.

12V batteries apparently.

Double it up for 24V!

[hollow dawn]

u google fast

laura who googles fast

[fleet tangle]

And in Japanese, apparently.

[hollow dawn]

its like a wooden bucket with heating rods at the bottom

lower power and it takes longer to heat up the bucket i guess

[fleet tangle]

AC/DC is very important. How would you survive without good rock music?!

[hollow dawn]

Lemmy only ate cheese and steaks and got old

because he had rock

also chris hemsworth, who is thor, the god, says that you should only eat a fish that you catch yourself, with a spear, every four days

https://tenor.com/view/fat-thor-avengers-funny-chris-hemsworth-gif-14558486

he learned how to catch the fish from a woman, like in the bible, but jesus was a lady twice his age

[fleet tangle]

Jesus was a lady twice chris hemsworth's age?

Is that why he had the long hair?

[hollow dawn]

absolutely

ive seen it on the internet

[fleet tangle]

Everything on the internet is true.

(and nothing is permitted)

Heh

If something feels like the truth, it's probably a lie.

4 would actually be representable in this case.

[hollow dawn]

the question to most answers is, what is 1 divided by 137

[fleet tangle]

Your mum.

[hollow dawn]

yes

if the question was for example, what is 1 divided by 138, then momm could not be, because carbon could not be

omfg some gifs should come with epilepsy warnings lol

have a more soothing gif instead, of unreal procedural stuff

[torn ledge]

@viscid surge we can chat in here

[viscid surge]

jup

[torn ledge]

the mods want to keep the channels focused

[hollow dawn]

oh, Sony worked on that electro bread oven too!

[torn ledge]

yeah like i was saying I am trying to move to different platforms than steam, I have an awful experience with their platform

[viscid surge]

What exactly was bad about this platform?

Because thats my first multiplayer game and i am curios to know more about multiplayer framework and all this stuff since most stuff is new for me

[torn ledge]

it would be like 4 paragraphs but the main thing is they are full of bots. outside of my social media posts my games dont get any players and they are even free to play, the average view duration on the page is also 0 seconds despite having "people visit" but it spikes when I direct real people from my social media

[viscid surge]

Isn't that more an marketing issue of your game rather then steam itself? Or do you think otherwise? Never heard of the bots problem before

[torn ledge]

nah its bots, my games do well on other platforms like the app store

[viscid surge]

oh okey, interesting.

[torn ledge]

it takes a lot of analysis to realize its bots and google analytics setup. ive talked with some other devs and they have the same issues as me

it took me over a year to figure out it was bots

I focus really heavily on analytics for my stuff, a lot of people probably dont

[viscid surge]

Where do the bots come from? Are they actually coming from steam itself?

[fleet tangle]

What exactly is the problem the bots are creating?

[torn ledge]

they are not creating a problem, they are the problem. steam doesnt send any real people to my store pages. I am aware it sounds crazy but the analytics dont lie along with the fact my stuff does well on social media and other platforms

[viscid surge]

i have a friend in my team who is specialising in marketing and is an expert at this point, i am sure he will be interested when i tell him that you have experience with bots and tell me others do too.

[fleet tangle]

Sounds like a marketing problem.

Bots going to your page is a problem how, exactly?

Surely the same bots are going to everyone's pages?

[hollow dawn]

bots simply increase traffic without feedback, might look negative if they only stay 0s, but the problem sounds more like steam isnt promoting your product well, it probably doesnt appear in the pop up or on the mainpage, hence few users find and click it, except you send them there

[fleet tangle]

Which is more akin to a SEO problem than a bot problem.

[torn ledge]

every user is 0 second duration, free to play games have a 40-65% conversion rate with on steam it only being a 0.05% conversion rate.

It is crazy I am well aware

[fleet tangle]

Maybe because people don't go to steam for f2p games most of the time?

And, I mean, you are literally saying, "Nobody goes to my page on steam, only bots do, so the bots must be the problem." That's not a sound argument at all.

You should ask other developers, who do have successful conversions, what their 0 second duration frequency is like.

[torn ledge]

no you are misunderstanding what I am saying, the bots are not doing anything which is the problem. in order for my business to grow I need access to real people, thats the entire selling point of steam. however the only traffic I get is bots. so the entire purpose of steam is moot, I always have no issues on other platforms

[fleet tangle]

they are not creating a problem, they are the problem.

[torn ledge]

respectfully you dont even know the name of my game so thats a guess not based in reality

[fleet tangle]

Lol

[torn ledge]

fuck off bro

[quasi mantle]

That's sounds like a you problem

I mean, marketing is key

[torn ledge]

then stop guessing what is going on. you dont have access to my analytics, you dont know what my store page looks like, you dont even know the name of my game and your immediate response is "its a marketing issue" based on what?

[fleet tangle]

Based on the fact you don't get any traffic.

That's what marketing does.

[torn ledge]

again I get traffic from my own marketing, thats not the issue

marketing is worthless if no one sees it

just go shout in a forest at that point

[quasi mantle]

> refuses to even try saying the game's name
> trying not to blame poor marketing

[fleet tangle]

...you don't get any promotion from steam, which is a form of marketing...

[torn ledge]

based on your actions I am not going to tell you the name

if a product is at walmart and no one goes to that portion of the store because its in some dark corner, is that the product manufacturers fault or walmarts fault for not properly displaying it?

[fleet tangle]

Have you considered that you don't get any traffic from steam because just nobody likes your game so it shoves it down the priority list? Like it learns not to promote your game because nobody ever downloads it?

Sounds harsh, but it's probably a thing.

[torn ledge]

I have thousands of players from my own marketing outside of steam and common virality so that is unlikely

[quasi mantle]

In my case I didn't say the name of my game often (titled PAST FUTURE btw) because I'm not having it ready for marketability.

[fleet tangle]

Oh the days of PAST FUTURE.

[torn ledge]

no because you are a dick, why would I show you my game based on how you have blatantly disregarded everything I have said. regardless I didnt start this conversation with you

[fleet tangle]

You started this conversation in a public channel. You can't complain that others contribute. Try DMs.

[quasi mantle]

Well, I casually sneak in my own title, so

I mean, it's not that hard

[fleet tangle]

Tomorrow we learn that ullr is actually working for a Steam competitor and is, himself, actually a bot.

[quasi mantle]

It's a past, and a future, all at once. The concept of science fantasy, where magic and technology become one.

Well, Final Fantasy already did it, and I'm copying it 😛

[thin aspen]

Reminds me of the “people are hating on me that’s why I haven’t blown up as a rapper” take I’m so used to hearing

[fleet tangle]

Final fantasy -> first reality.

Initial reality?

[thin aspen]

I like initial reality

Silent hill -> Loud Valley

[fleet tangle]

If people were seriously hating on you, you would probably actually blow up as a rapper. No publicity is bad publicity etc.

[quasi mantle]

My project is almost a self filling dream about two franchises that never crossover

Though I'll get into the J-idol aspect more on the more futuristic installment
