oh wow why does this room in Starfield look exactly like one from Doom 3

empty dune
#

Ive never played the original doom games

#

Well, i haven't played the new ones either

pearl elk
#

I remember back when The Rock was in Doom

chrome gull
#

only played 2016 and Eternal

#

a very tiny bit of 1993 for amusement

#

and curiosity

pearl elk
#

its almost 20 years old ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

chrome gull
#

not supposed to look like this, right?

pearl elk
#

I think I read something about LUTs being off for Nvidia

empty dune
#

Looks like what i experienced

pearl elk
#

Dont you love that about GPUs, render this nice lovely sharp image then blur and fuzz the crap out of it

chrome gull
#

really?

#

oh lol I forgot to do that

#

welp

#

I'll tweak it when I get to the combat area

#

yeah I'm in the creator now

empty dune
#

i honestly didnt enjoy starfield that much

#

the no man's sky combat update is much more fun for me

chrome gull

how do I add a beard bruh ๐Ÿ˜ญ

holy cow did something happened to the epic games launcher since last update? everything feels way more snappy

calamari goatee sounds interesting

chrome gull
#

why does the game crash so much

pearl elk
#

Ive not had a single crash hmm

#

my PC is basically an xbox with more cores though lol

fathom wadi
#

the performance in starfield is absolute trash tho on planets. I'm not running the best GPU but the fact it doesn't let you have exclusive fullscreen mode is forcing desktop resolution (in my case 4K) and scaling back to 50% rendering still doesn't help. I tried everything on lowest settings and can't hit more than around 32fps on planets.

chrome gull
#

and an RTX 4070

chrome gull
fathom wadi
#

sorry by planets I meant cities

#

regular empty planets run fine

chrome gull
#

mine's at 80% resolution

pearl elk
chrome gull
#

I'm trying out all the fixes I can find online lmao

chrome gull
fathom wadi
#

you can't even play in 1080p. It forces borderless fullscreen or windowed mode

pearl elk
#

5950x/6900XT@1440p here ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

chrome gull
#

no crashes?

pearl elk
#

No crashes, my PC is toasty but its definitely getting 60fps+ most the time

fathom wadi
#

most of the time means what tho? You could be in space most of the time. What does it run like in the city hubs?

pearl elk
#

Its fine in the city, thats not the most taxing places tbh because most of the people are locked in tight loading zones

fathom wadi
#

do you run the DLSS mod?

pearl elk
#

the planet with all the storm and foliage was probably the heaviest so far

#

nope, no upscaling at all lol

fathom wadi
#

thats strange. I've seen people with 4090's hitting 30-40 fps in the main hubs

pearl elk
#

but the popping, god it can be pretty terrible. I had floating trees on one planet lol

#

I do have it on a pcie4 nvme, maybe thats helping

#

not sure if people are running Win10 or not either

fathom wadi
#

I don't know why they persist with the creation engine. It's a pile of old shite. After spending a few weeks modding with it I came to the conclusion you could write a GL base engine with better rendering techniques

#

there is a reason it comes with loading screens everywhere. They don't distance cull, there's no imposters and if you get any kind of open space it tanks

pearl elk
#

yeah its definitely turd, the characters still look like Fallout just with sub-d of 1 applied ๐Ÿ˜น

fathom wadi
#

yeah I thought that too. Lip sync is better tho

chrome gull
#

helps

pearl elk
#

yeah but voices are really odd, its just all random it doesnt really match what you'd expect

fathom wadi
chrome gull
#

just upgraded to a 4070 hehehe

asian ladies with irish accents ๐Ÿ˜›

chrome gull
#

not helping

chrome gull
fathom wadi
#

I have a gen 4 nvme and loading times aren't bad, just frequent

chrome gull
#

yeah loads are almost instant

pearl elk
fathom wadi
#

when I lived in Ireland I met approximately zero black or asian people ๐Ÿ˜„

pearl elk
#

you can just tell its all random and not really hand crafted

fathom wadi
#

sorry there was one. A bouncer at the local club.

pearl elk
#

you do kinda expect a cultural mix in the future, it should be more of a joining of culture though like fusion food

chrome gull
#

okay why is there so much screen tearing now

fathom wadi
#

I like how you get to a new planet. Run for 1000meters and find the exact same location from the last planet ๐Ÿ˜„

chrome gull
#

...

fathom wadi
#

It's frustratingly not a bad game tho. I just wish I could get more than console fps to play it. It's standard Bethesda which means I've played the game before in another skin, but I don't mind as I liked FO:NV and that crashed more than the stock market after a banker's orgy.

pearl elk
#

Its not bad but I wouldnt say its ground breaking either

chrome gull
#

the game was more stable on a fucking RX 580

pearl elk
#

here you go, megatexture glitch on my AMD card from back when... took them like 8 months to patch

#

yeah it ran smooth as, no crashes ๐Ÿ˜›

Did you played the Rage 1?

I recommend you it if isn't the case, expect a total different thing of the second

Hmmm. well my "spaghetti" tastes good.... hmm, well ok

#

ground beef was horribly frozen burnt. and the quotes around spaghetti because my mom mixed fettucini in with my spaghetti noodles

hopefully I dont get food poisoning ๐Ÿ™‚

my version of that saying is "what doesnt kill you, leaves you crippled and weak"

pearl elk
#

wondered why my computer chair felt weird, the metal is all bent and torn

tulip orbit
#

you should get a chair with a cushion on it

pearl elk
#

dont they all have those back cushions these days "gaming chair"

tulip orbit
#

Thought it had have racing stripes and built in speakers, catheter and bidet to be considered a "gaming" chair

#

oh, and RGB lights

pearl elk
#

lol no RGB

#

Im guessing this is just more milking of the esports

tulip orbit
#

prolly

#

thats the chair I want

anyone have any good recommendations for gaming chairs?

Im obsessed with the supermassive story games
I watched like 30 lets plays of each
Never bought any of them

broken sigil

quarry was good but until dawn is my favorite

open fog

quarry is cringe the gay guy carried it

#

idk

broken sigil

I sure hope they are

Since I moved I don't have it near me ๐Ÿฅน

carmine frigate
open fog
#

yeah i have watched a let play of that

carmine frigate
#

its not massive but great story telling.... really 1 of a kind game

open fog
#

it has no gameplay just story
i guess same with supermassive lol

#

but i didnt like it much it was too self congratulatory kind of game

carmine frigate
#

all the assets are free on the epic asset marketplace

#

it has some gameplay

open fog
#

i saw a letsplay of it so will never buy it now ๐Ÿ˜†

#

its not the kind of game with a lot of replayability

carmine frigate
#

nah

ornate orbit
#

does newton's first law scientifically validate laziness and efficiency as objects that are not moving tend to stay still unless acted upon by an external force
and forcing or encouraging people to be less lazy could be detrimental to the overall stability of the system

#

newton wasnt all that smart... dunno why hes such a bigshot

carmine frigate
#

like seriously the whole apple on his head story is dumb

#

what goes up must go down... yea ... real smart

carmine frigate
#

dude invested most his money into .. south sea company... when it was up...

#

then it went down

carmine frigate
#

basically got born rich ... got into a fancy school like that.... than spends his family fortune in a dumb stockmarket bubble

soft night
carmine frigate
#

he wasnt no albert einstein or nicola tesla not even close in the sam league

#

i think stephen hawkin is overrated aswell

#

he just looks smart cuz he talks with a computer and is super crippled

#

says stuff most ppl dont understand cuz they dont care about it

#

makes him seem smart

#

newton just wrote down what ppl allready knew

#

in a formula with letters... that looks smart

#

hawkins just based all his stuff on top of einsteins

#

if u read einsteins stuff its pretty cool

#

Pythagoras was also ahead of his time

#

way more important that newtons BS laws

#

yea, also lived 2000 years B4 newton

i may be getting high speed fiber soon
i called AT&T thursday about the fact its been 8 months since the line was installed and no service, they said they had no clue that there was a fiber line on our road. and when going on a walk today we found fiber line markings going right up to our network box
i mean they sent someone out to mark the line within 24 hours

carmine frigate
#

i got glass for a while now. its allways been pretty decent here for me, i was pretty late with cable tv tho

#

actually downgraded my internet lately cuz i really dont use the bandwith

#

helped a friends dad once when i was in australia, he had some contract that didnt get updated... was paying the same for like 10 years with download max and when it hit a certain MB it would get capped on speed... but they sold new contracts without a cap with faster speeds for less than he was paying

#

so i called the provider and told em if they didnt upgrade the contract right now id get a lawyer on that shit cuz he was paying for a contract that didnt even exist anymore

white oxide

im currently stuck in 1993 speed wise

#

0.3mb/s down

0.045mb/s

ahh i got 350 mbit ps for like 50e a month

had 1000 for 60, but dont really need it

my ping is stable at 10 for europe amazon servers

any big download i dont sit around doin nothing till it finishes anyways

i havent had a download that takes more than an hour in years

more that we have land here and lots of really nice old growth trees

we literally have a full mile of private hiking trails through the woods and a place where im building a cabin for myself and my kid to chill in

I want a more realistic one, where you can even have a fleet of your own when becoming more powerful

#

personally i want a proper 3rd person ship control pirate ship game

#

from a little punt to a full on galleon/ship of the line

#

fight the french and british, defend tortuga

#

like sea of theives is fun for the first what? 3 hours till the MMO grind comes in

#

and that theres really no "upward" movement for your being good at the game

errant raven
#

I'd be happy with a game that isnt just another generic game that tells you where to go or gives braindead puzzles as content

#

That's actually fun to play

Otherwise I'll be sitting here playing csgo/greenhell/soulsborne/skyrim(survival mode, no fast travel) over and over again

I'd have to like unplug it and move it to the other side of the desk and it's not on a mount that I could turn, so I'd have to prop it up somewhere, and I have all of my wires neatly routed and didn't want to have to redo all of that

man it suddenly went so dark in the last 15 min

#

how will I ever finish mowing in this

lofty lark
#

Maybe one could argue that for it to be a garden it has to be intentional

empty dune
proud jay
#

contrary to popular belief I am not a being existing solely of a dark void

lofty lark
proud jay
#

well the rain is probably over soon

#

but by then I won't see shit

chrome gull
proud jay
#

I need one of those head lamps

lofty lark
#

need a mower with headlights

empty dune
chrome gull
#

no one likes you pal

#

shh

proud jay
#

oh

#

now I get the reference

median wraith
#

damm, the timer is working nice

lofty lark
#

raindust is the one that made the request that gave us #petting-zoo . raindust is good in my book.

chrome gull
#

my xiaomi was supposed to ring an alarm today

median wraith
#

can relate haha

chrome gull
#

but guess what

proud jay
#

Rain gone

#

Time to moe

#

Mow

chrome gull
#

have fun

median wraith
proud jay
#

rip never mind

#

mower is not starting

#

guess it needs to cool down a bit

#

problem for tomorrow me

lofty lark
chrome gull
#

why mow

#

get goat

#

goat eat grass

#

free manure

win win

#

maybe goat food?

#

where did my internet go?

#

ah there it is

#

I said, it's not that long though

empty dune
chrome gull
#

get out lmao

proud jay
#

never heard her say that to me

#

you speak from experience?

chrome gull
#

prolly had none

empty dune
proud jay
#

ah so women don't speak to you in general

chrome gull
median wraith
#

someone knows the command on UE to change the game speed ?

chrome gull
#

like a console command?

proud jay
#

something with time dilation

chrome gull
#

time dilation smtg

#

damn it

median wraith
#

oh yeah nevermind is Slomo

proud jay
#

there's also a UGameplayStatics::SetGlobalTimeDilation that does the same

median wraith
#

fixed the timer

#

my main issue right now, is that I think my maths to calculate the game speed timer are wrong

proud jay
#

sad

chrome gull
#

use a calculator

#

problem? solution.

median wraith
#

technically if the game is 6hours and multiply by 60 then you get the total of minutes, if you divide that by the time the game is suposed to be played in minutes, should return the number of actual minutes per real minute

#

and if you multiply that result by the actual time in game, should get the actual time speed ๐Ÿค”

proud jay
#

you lost me at "technically"

empty dune
#

lose dieter any% speedrun

median wraith
#

okay seems like is correct

median wraith
lofty lark
#

That is a calculation.

median wraith
#

1 minute should be about 12min in game

#

so 30min are 6h in game

timber viper
#

@fleet tangle yay or nay? ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

i'll be the one to write it

fleet tangle
empty dune
timber viper
#

i thought it was a cute picture until I read the title

empty dune
fleet tangle
#

Seems very like the animation from Akebi's Sailor Uniform which was a great show.

timber viper
#

i just know about its existence

#

and I know its the anime started filler beach episode trope

empty dune
#

its a weird anime, i remember parts of it from when i watched it as a kid

#

in it, there's a guy who turns into a pig when he gets drenched with hot water

#

(or was it cold? i dont remember)

chrome gull
#

do you guys happen to know how likely a person will die if shot in the chest?

empty dune
#

depends on where exactly in the chest they get shot

chrome gull
#

need it for this

#

a gun

#

shot in chest

chrome gull
empty dune
#

a heart shot is usually fatal, a lung shot may be survival but its hard

chrome gull
#

so chest as in the general area

empty dune
#

uh

#

just upper chest or whole torso?

chrome gull
#

lmao i'll go with .5, it's okay

#

just for gameplay purposes

empty dune
#

good enough lol

timber viper
#

why dont you scale it based on proximity

timber viper
#

if you can survive being shot from 1m you must be hulk

chrome gull
#

I'll also need to modify it on a per-weapon type basis

chrome gull
#

C#?

#

what language is that?

median wraith
#

That's C# actually yeah

#

idk were I had the C++ function, in other repo maybe

chrome gull
#

damn I'm surprised I can figure out the difference between C++ and C#

median wraith
#

Technically is like the random weight but you can have a list

#

and each input have a %

#

my last client used that for loot boxes

chrome gull
#

;-;

empty dune
#

i had a fun idea

#

take the name of various programming languages and turn them into HUD crosshairs

#

too bad i have zero artistic skills to do it myself

chrome gull
#

I wanted to make a programming language called literal

#

it's basically just english

#

I want to do a lot of cool things but there's this thing called skill which I don't have

#

wot you mean

#

lol okay

#

me programming a feature that I wanted to have in my game went sooo smoothly

#

like wow, exactly the same result I wanted

#

maybe even better

#

๐Ÿคฏ

white oxide
#

me as the manager EXACTLY AS PLANNED

median wraith
#

damm I got less FPS on 5.3 on the small city than before

zinc wagon
#

Wasn't that why it's now called C#?

#

Wasn't it supposed to be C++++ but then decided on C# or something

chrome gull
#

ahh yes, C++++

#

how practical

empty dune
#

I had forgotten how useful steam link is. Forgive me, gaben,for i have sinned

white oxide
#

i still have the physical link device

#

with all the packaging

proud jay
#

I wish I bought one when they were selling them for 5 bucks

empty dune
#

I got the steam controller for 5$. Worth it

white oxide
#

i got mine for $4.99 at a discount book store still brand new never opened

#

Half Price Books for the win

#

their tech is always old but like rare

#

even found an in box original wii with wii sports and the balance board at one for $50

empty dune
#

I wish more controllers used the steam controller input system

#

It is sooooo good

#

The controller itself has many flaws

#

But the concept was amazing, pity it didn't take off

white oxide
#

but doesnt steam confirm controller support with an xbox controller?

#

i remember they denied our controller support tag because unplugging the controller didnt pause the game

empty dune
#

What does xbox controller have to do with steam controller

white oxide
#

i mean they made their own controller but dont use it as their official controller testing metric

empty dune
#

The main benefit of the steam controller was the effortless button remapping

chrome gull
#

still can't see the appeal of a controller

empty dune
#

You could map every key on a keyboard to it's own combination of buttons on the steam controller and still have left over combos

chrome gull
#

when you have a KB/M

white oxide
#

looks at the original GTA ports

empty dune
# chrome gull when you have a KB/M

Hahaha, try playing a flight simulator with kbm, you'll go crazy. At the very least you need a controller, a hotas for the best experience

chrome gull
#

checks out lmao

zinc wagon
#

I've seen a review for the steam controller. It looked like a god sent for fps games but not much for casual ones (like GTA)

empty dune
#

Which one

#

And how many times did you crash on take off

proud jay
chrome gull
empty dune
#

Oh yeah the msfs was a buggy mess

empty dune
chrome gull
proud jay
chrome gull
#

(the game)

empty dune
#

Point is, vehicle based games play better with controller, fps/strategy/tactics games play better with kbm

#

Both have uses

chrome gull
#

I mean

#

I guess that checks out

#

huh?

#

idk I've tried using a controller (Xbox AND PS) but it just doesn't feel right for me

chrome gull
#

my aim was terrible

empty dune
#

What did i say

proud jay
#

maybe you are the problem

empty dune
#

Kbm is the best for fps

#

Controllers are better for large, bulky movements imo

#

Not sure if that makes sense

zinc wagon
#

Can't wait to play games with my brain implant

proud jay
#

might be a while before they sell brains though

empty dune
chrome gull
#

for vehicles

timber viper
#

I tried to play CP2077 with controller today

#

and.. man.. wtf

#

how people even aim

empty dune
#

Forza is definitely NOT better with kbm

chrome gull
proud jay
chrome gull
#

imo at least

chrome gull
timber viper
proud jay
#

cp2077 has like the worst controller controls

#

idk how they made it that bad

timber viper
#

oh?

#

hm

#

its not a skill issue then

empty dune
timber viper
proud jay
#

they do some weird acceleration and all crap

white oxide
proud jay
#

real trash

timber viper
#

still cant aim

white oxide
#

and hawkart installing the CPU the wrong way

proud jay
#

yeah it's just one aspect

timber viper
#

not skill issue

proud jay
# white oxide

I built my first pc perfectly, but then forgot to turn on the monitor lol

#

I took it apart and put it together again, cause I thought something was wrong

#

wait, it was on, just wrong input

chrome gull
#

my new build

#

everything was perfect but the PSU was off

white oxide
#

its been so long since i built my last one im gonna need the diagrams for everything like its my very first build

chrome gull
#

my heart dropped for a moment

white oxide
#

last build was early 2015

#

bonkers your build was just plagued with problems this time wasnt it?

chrome gull
#

yeah it was

#

turns out it's just RAM

proud jay
#

my first build was 2018

chrome gull
#

once I got new sticks

proud jay
#

you're old

chrome gull
#

everything's solved

white oxide
#

lol

#

im 24

proud jay
#

you're young

#

where are you getting the money to build pcs

chrome gull
#

now the build is insane

#

my first build was in 2017

#

I was a kid

empty dune
chrome gull
#

I took my padre's money

white oxide
#

the first one was a barebones kit from the old tiger direct, as part of my 16th bday, and the new one is from odd jobs im buying bit by bit

chrome gull
#

I was expecting to get jobs

#

to pay them off

#

but looks like I'm not

white oxide
#

the CPU in that old one costs less than the CPU FAN in the new one

#

yeah i get jobs randomly

chrome gull
#

I let my desperation blind me and now I'm screwed

white oxide
#

and as my rent payment deal half my earned income goes to my landlord (dad)

proud jay
#

scamaz

chrome gull
#

that is

#

not a good deal?

proud jay
#

I hope you don't make that much money

white oxide
#

i get no utilities, free food, cars to drive, free gas

empty dune
chrome gull
#

wait why tf are you paying rent to live with your parents?

proud jay
# empty dune Wude

I mean as in if they are making a lot of money, and dad takes half, he's overpaying him

white oxide
#

i have a SINGLE expense on my sheets

proud jay
#

if you are not financially stable you kinda have to sometimes

empty dune
white oxide
#

its half until i pay back what i owe in back rent, and other stuff

proud jay
#

back rent

#

damn

white oxide
#

then its $120

#

a month

proud jay
#

your parents really do hate you

chrome gull
empty dune
chrome gull
white oxide
#

yeah i mean they could easily chuck me on the streets

proud jay
#

well they could also easily kick you in the balls

chrome gull
#

what's a backrent?

white oxide
#

i owe them the deal but they let me stay when i cant

chrome gull
white oxide
#

yeah

chrome gull
proud jay
#

if you are working full time and still living at home I get paying rent

white oxide
#

its only $120 a month normally, plus some legal fees for a parking ticket i didnt know i had and turned into jail

chrome gull
#

dude they basically have to support you, without payment, until you get your shit together

white oxide
#

i get free food, free utilities, free gas, and a car to drive at all time with unlimited miles

chrome gull
#

and I think 24's still early?

#

at least imo

white oxide
#

not legally, 18 is the legal cutoff, but then my parents made hella cash as engineers

chrome gull
#

nah not legally

#

I mean like...

#

as a

#

hmm

proud jay
#

here at least parents have an obligation to take care of you forever

#

but so do you as a child towards your parents

chrome gull
white oxide
#

i mean obligation and reality dont always mesh

proud jay
#

but you said legally

chrome gull
empty dune
#

I love how entitled some parents are. "Lets bring a life into this world, a soul that did not ask to be born, and then complain about having to take care of them and charge them back rent when they grow up, as a form of recompense"

No wonder a great percent of the young generation in murica have Spicyโ„ข relationship with their parents

chrome gull
white oxide
#

legally they are fully and (in the US) morally able to kick me out at 18, and for a while when things got bad between me and my dad i was

chrome gull
#

but otherwise that doesn't make sense

white oxide
#

took a while to get back

white oxide
#

uh back rent from when we agreed to let me stay here

proud jay
#

I do wonder why people that kick out their kids like that had kids in the first place

white oxide
#

like 4 years of it

#

not my whole life

chrome gull
#

if I were a parent my child would get unlimited support, for "free"

#

if they want it ofc

#

if they wanna be independent so be it

white oxide
#

mine does, he pays my many medical bills, my utilities, my food, and my housing, which im not able to do on my own, now or likely ever unless i make the next major indie game

chrome gull
#

but I always got their back

proud jay
#

well of course

#

but that doesn't have to mean kick them out

chrome gull
#

i mean that shouldn't happen the moment they turn into an adult legally

proud jay
#

if they've been sitting in your basement for 3 years without doing anything sure

empty dune
#

There are far better ways to get that show on the road than kicking out your child

chrome gull
#

if I were kicked out the moment I turned 18 then I would probably be dead

proud jay
#

but some parents are like, happy 18th birthday, now gtfo

white oxide
#

i mean im also legally disabled, but yeah my parents dont have any real requirement to do it, and do it because they want too

chrome gull
white oxide
#

i owe 4 years of rent at $120/month

#

plus another $120/month long as i live there

empty dune
proud jay
#

that's just setting your child up for failure, very sad

chrome gull
#

shit man how's she doing now?

proud jay
chrome gull
#

wow the bar for "good parents" is THAT low, huh? (not for you hawk; for the thing laura mentioned)

white oxide
#

he knows, but thats what it costs to pay my phone biull and car insurance, all he asks me to financially pay, i do have to maintain the entire property

chrome gull
#

...

white oxide
#

i work for my free meals, cars, internet, gas, etc

proud jay
#

you guys are getting free cars?

white oxide
#

2 cars 2 drivers

#

both owned by dad, and he just lets me take one when i need it

empty dune
#

I have no sympathy for people who choose to bring a life to this shitty world and then act like corporate accountants. I will always call bad parenting as exactly that, bad

proud jay
#

well, it's part of my pay, to avoid taxes ๐Ÿง 

#

very common in belgium btw

proud jay
#

see: very high taxes

chrome gull
#

and I'd rather use public transport

proud jay
#

I think it's like 1 in 3 cars is a company car or something wild

white oxide
#

my dads a great parent but hes still not going to give me a 100% free ride, nore should he

empty dune
white oxide
#

$120/month is more than fair enough

empty dune
#

Cars are more or less a necessity there

white oxide
#

american public transport outside MAJOR cities sucks beyond reason

chrome gull
#

not your parents, I'm not even close to a good judge of your relationship with your parents

chrome gull
chrome gull
empty dune
#

We have a great public transport wtf are you talking about

proud jay
#

you can't even properly walk to most places in USA cities

#

all is built for cars

chrome gull
#

plus there's always taxis and all

white oxide
#

how does "doesnt exist outside a major metro area"

#

taxis around here are uber

chrome gull
#

how do they not have... a transit system?

#

fiiine, USA

proud jay
white oxide
#

i live 27 miles from downtown dallas, to even get INTO the public transit ($6 a day) i need to drive like 10 miles

empty dune
# chrome gull surely better than India's

What are you smoking lol, India has one of the most developed public transport system. Its not fancy and it's not shiny but it gets the job done better than a LOT of countries

chrome gull
#

mine too

proud jay
chrome gull
chrome gull
proud jay
#

I think I did though ๐Ÿค”

chrome gull

look, I'm not patriotic at all but that's just wrong lmao

empty dune
proud jay
#

I didn't say all trains

empty dune
#

Peel that away and USA is barely a first world country

proud jay
#

USA is only what it is cause it was not in europe during ww2

empty dune
#

Yep

#

And because it stole basically every single tech research the entire world did during the great wars

chrome gull
#

but like

#

it's BAD, man

empty dune
#

Anyway, back to the original point, usa has a highly inadequate public transport system. Its common for people there to not own houses but atleast own a car

#

Cars are not a luxury there like it is here, there its a basic necessity

chrome gull
#

must suck

#

I could just hail a bike to the nearest metro station and travel across the entire city

#

for what, $1.50?

chrome gull
white oxide
#

my local mass transit system:

empty dune
#

You can sleep in a car. You can't drive a house to your job that is 10 miles away

The job that is keeping you alive

white oxide

agreed

chrome gull
white oxide
#

except dark blue line has no busses

white oxide
#

the buss route map:

chrome gull
#

looks like it covers the whole city

white oxide
#

thats a 17 mile radious map

#

theres easily 1-4 miles between bus stops

empty dune
chrome gull
white oxide
#

up to 6.4km between stops

chrome gull
#

bruhhhh

white oxide
#

even in pretty subruban spots

#

and sometimes an HOUR between your stop

empty dune
# chrome gull bruhhhh

I feel like you'll soon graduate to moderatelybonkers at the rate we are feeding you information lol

chrome gull
#

we have metro stations within 1km of each other

white oxide
#

wanna see the most stupid thing about how long it takes?

chrome gull
#

maybe even less

chrome gull
chrome gull
#

and my city is not even THAT important

#

I think

white oxide
#

from ym friends house i lived at to a rail station 12 minutes drive away, it would take 55-157 minutes to get there depending on the time you left, and require 2 transfers

empty dune
#

It's not that simple

white oxide
#

yeah

white oxide
#

it would take 2 hours

chrome gull
#

lmao

white oxide
#

to talk

chrome gull
#

im kidding dw dw

white oxide
#

and 2/3 of the streets dont even have sidewalks or really any safe spot to walk that isnt grass or more road

chrome gull
white oxide

dallas?

#

Dallas is a biggish city iirc

chrome gull

alright then checks out

damn

our cities are huuuge

puts things into perspective

empty dune
white oxide

and busses move about an hour between the same stop

chrome gull

miss the bus? screwed for an hour, your bus was late to the transfer point because granny took 4 minutes to get off? hour wait for the next

#

my pain, does not define me, but is a part of me

chrome gull
#

I would have jumped off a cliff if even one of those happened to me

#

not even kidding

white oxide
#

its also why my stories all have such passion into them and why aside from lack of devs i find it easy to grow followings behind my stuff

#

and why i put my characters through so much pain to grow them.

#

tbh its not super personal just stuff i accept as part of my life and dont hide

chrome gull
#

I do the exact opposite, all my characters live a part of my dreams

#

they're like a realistic fantasy of who I'd be in that aspect

white oxide

mine grow from their torment, and many succumb to it

chrome gull

even the game I'm making rn is surprisingly optimistic

My characters are just starship captains
