The average Unreal Experience™️

[delicate minnow]

is this some gen Z slang

[brittle holly]

I get it, motivation is hard to come by

[unreal ether]

No, literally, like among us. A pretty forgotten game until like 2 years later when it was blown up by the streaming community

[delicate minnow]

yeah especially while having a full time job and a side job

ah yeah but that's because it's a streamer bait game

there's also duck duck goose

[brittle holly]

How do you make something have streamer bait?

[delicate minnow]

Tile Town: Among us edition

[empty dune]

wait really? same voice actor?

[delicate minnow]

make it sensational and funny, multiplayer, something that streamers can describe with a clickbait, and make it as little fun as possible if you're playing alone

[broken sigil]

Speaking of indie games that ended up being a surprising hit... Lethal company is a gem lol

[delicate minnow]

also I think I put too much on my plate lmao

with the game

[empty dune]

oh, i dont remember actually if prince of pershia had voice acting

i know soul reaver did

but thats a different game obviously

[errant raven]

¿||undertale||?

[brittle holly]

Yeah, that happens a lot I imagine. A few months ago, I had to set aside my RTS project to work on something very simple so that I don’t burn right out. But at less this latter project is sort of coming along steadily

[delicate minnow]

I might do the same tbh cause there's still so much to do...

[brittle holly]

The MS-DOS version def didn’t have voices 😀

[broken sigil]

|| never got into it myself ||

[delicate minnow]

but even if I abandon it, I'm not gonna be mad because every day spent with it is learning new skills which will not be forgotten

[empty dune]

nooo, dino thunder :((((

[brittle holly]

Idk who said this, Daekesh or Duro or lots of other people, but “anything is better than nothing” really stuck with me

[errant raven]

||it is very easy with a mechanical keyboard, but kinda hard with a standard keyboard, also you are severely missing out on a very good game narrative||

[brittle holly]

Small amounts of work here and there are still better than nothing at all

[empty dune]

it was said by John Dino Thunder

[delicate minnow]

it's still practice and learning

especially as solo when you have to learn about every aspect of the engine

[brittle holly]

[brittle holly]

Eh idk about mormons, but it applies well to UE 😛

I've heard good things about it, watched it a bit on yt but that's about it

[empty dune]

another one of his famous quotes was :

"generic male getting hurt noise"

[errant raven]

Isnt hollowknights also an indie game that did really really well?

[broken sigil]

Yeah

[brittle holly]

Uh.. beverage?

[winter mauve]

I think about this as well! Although what my mind goes to is that it's tougher to put my incomplete projects on my resume, and so it might be harder to communicate/prove you know how to do stuff to employers from your application

how has this thing never gone on sale yet?

[delicate minnow]

they're too busy crying in the corner

[empty dune]

lol

[delicate minnow]

80 € wtf

[cursive crypt]

Wasn't that a running simulator with a bit of fight?

[empty dune]

yeah, i have it on my wishlist purely as a joke

[delicate minnow]

shit game for 20 € more than regular

[cursive crypt]

Haven't heard too good things about it.

[empty dune]

i wouldnt mind owning it for like 15$ though

sometime in the future

[brittle holly]

Should’ve name it Forwoken 😀

[brittle holly]

I don’t think it’s worth 15 bucks, lots of YouTube reviews on it

[delicate minnow]

I would probably play it if you paid me 15 bucks

for like 15 minutes

[empty dune]

oh ive seen them lol

[brittle holly]

Solo devs here have better level design than that game has, nvm the voice acting lol

[empty dune]

i just like the idea of owning forspoken

like

i got anthem for 1$

marvel's avengers for 5$

[delicate minnow]

we're in the era of "glittered shit" games

[empty dune]

i get a kick out of having these shit games

[delicate minnow]

do you have Gollum?

[empty dune]

oh no, thats too bad

thats like

shovelware

[delicate minnow]

man has limits

shovelware for 50 € lmao

with 36% rating

[empty dune]

yeah exactly

[delicate minnow]

(generous)

this game should be on a constant 90% sale

[empty dune]

atleast anthem, marvel's avengers, forspoken had a little effort put into them

gollum was just

wtf

[delicate minnow]

I like how the very first Gollum screenshot on its Steam page looks like a shitty MMO game from 2009

garbage of the year

[brittle holly]

I have no expectations for return to Moria because of it

[empty dune]

return to moria is apparently decent

its out

[brittle holly]

Oh? I hadn’t noticed

[empty dune]

its not great, but its not garbage either

solid B tier

[unborn lotus]

[delicate minnow]

I doubt anything can be worse than Gollum

[winter mauve]

I like getting bad games too. Every now and then I boot up sonic adventure 1 and 2 just to appreciate it

like, it's not BAD as in a bad product but it's a very janky game

[brittle holly]

When was that released ?

[cursive crypt]

pfp checks out

[delicate minnow]

i dont think a bad game would have 90% rating lol

[winter mauve]

LOL I guess it does

[unborn lotus]

Really? Wanna try my games then 🥁

[winter mauve]

yeah I don't mean bad as in badly reviewed, but those games are known for their movement and animation jank

[delicate minnow]

but people seem to like it anyway :p

[winter mauve]

bad in a way that has charm!

[delicate minnow]

when I talk about bad games i mean like less than 50% rating on Steam at least

[winter mauve]

ah gotcha

[delicate minnow]

like just trash

[winter mauve]

I'm down

[empty dune]

there's this indie game that came out thats been doing really badly, its at 49% i think. which is a shame because the team really seemed to have put in effort

its called Jumplight Odyssey

[winter mauve]

damn

that must be rough for them

[delicate minnow]

its at 69%

nice

and recent at 84%

[empty dune]

oh, it went up

it was sub 50 at one point

[delicate minnow]

ah yeah this game looks cool

but I can see where the issues could be

there's a LOT of games like this, and a lot of them are trash

so the expectations are high

[empty dune]

yeah i feel bad for them

[winter mauve]

looking at the reviews, I'm glad that a lot are constructive and give the team meaningful feedback

[delicate minnow]

indie games doing red ocean strategy is HARD

[brittle holly]

Some games get received poorly at first if they don’t have a really dumb easy difficulty, with idgets leaving reviews like “game too hard therefore it sucks, cry” Ixion was like that. But then the people with slightly higher intelligence played it and it went from Mixed to Very Positive.

I need to borrow a half jet's wheel

[delicate minnow]

my secret first game from a few years ago that i put on steam was a really hard puzzle game. Like, REALLY difficult but completely on purpose. And I wrote in the description several times that its REALLY hard and you will need to use external sources of information (also intended)

and I got bad reviews saying that the game is hard and that you have to use external sources of information

like?! do you even read the description before you buy a game??

:D

"Oh I bought this thing that's red and I don't like it because it's red, I didn't expect that!"

[winter mauve]

damn. I guess you gotta put flashing lights and an intro screen explaining it on startup

🤭

[delicate minnow]

that would be after they have already bought it :D

but yeah that kinda pissed me off

the game had very little sales though, and then one review completely killed all the sales

[empty dune]

This is why I wish epic would add user reviews in their store. The negatives can be painful to read but sometimes there's people explaining the problems in great detail

[delicate minnow]

because someone wrote that his GPU is hot when playing the game so he thinks it's a bitcoin miner

...

[empty dune]

Wow okay then

[delicate minnow]

i don't even know how to react to that

I'm pulling the game down from steam anyway lol

i made something way too niche

[winter mauve]

LOL shit man, that really sucks

[brittle holly]

I mean, how hot can it be running jeez

[winter mauve]

stuff like that ruins the image of your game and it isn't even true

[delicate minnow]

and yet there's nothing you can do about it

it did

but like im not responsible for someone's gpu

:D

[brittle holly]

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[delicate minnow]

but yeah i only had 50% on steam because half of the people complained about the game being exactly like the description told them, and then someone had a shit gpu

[winter mauve]

so Vik I ran your game and my power went out. Coincidence? No way. Bad game 👎 /s

[delicate minnow]

definitely a bitcoin miner

everyone?

[winter mauve]

all the bitcoin miners iirc

[empty dune]

Idiots

[winter mauve]

them too

[delicate minnow]

how else would you do it

[winter mauve]

must be a new thing?

[delicate minnow]

well idk about now, but I have an acquaintance who got pretty rich from bitcoin:D

and he used a lot of GPUs

[brittle holly]

All the people spending thousands on electricity bills to find virtual pennies under the gpu’s couch cushions

[delicate minnow]

then with that money he opened a store with clothes and funny socks, became one of the biggest and most famous in the country, expanded into wider europe, then almost bankrupted

because their products were shit

.. anyway yeah gpus

:D

[brittle holly]

It’s amazing how far you can get with a shit product cough EA

[winter mauve]

unrelated, but I noticed I can't stream my screen on the voice chats. Is there a role I need? Or a certain activity level?

[delicate minnow]

uh wtf I posted an annoucement in the first game that it's gonna be pulled down from Steam soon and people are asking in the comments to increase the price?!

I'm confused

[empty dune]

Lmao

Do it

[winter mauve]

ohh

[delicate minnow]

[slim atlas]

[winter mauve]

[winter mauve]

hmm, are there any consequences to do so?

[empty dune]

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/execute-order66-order66-66-palpatine-star-wars-gif-20468321

[delicate minnow]

and they have a request to take the game down so why would they be changing the price now

[lofty lark]

give the people what they want

[delicate minnow]

others are asking for a sale

[empty dune]

Man just give people what they want

[slim atlas]

Vik, literally give them the price increase

the game is 2 €

and theyre asking for a sale

[median wraith]

this game is good

[delicate minnow]

oh deer

[brittle holly]

It actually was a great game

Played it twice

[empty dune]

I played it once

Loved it

[brittle holly]

Even CP2077 has some funny bugs today but that doesn’t make it any less amazing

[errant raven]

Spaceballs is a better star wars movie than the force awakens

[delicate minnow]

bahaha

I just translated one russian review of the game

[median wraith]

wasn't sarcasm, is awesome what they managed todo with this old engine version

[delicate minnow]

exactly what I said lmao

[winter mauve]

they're right!

[delicate minnow]

why do people do this

then I get bad reviews

[winter mauve]

you could probably find some way to make it more obvious. It seems like most players don't read the full description

[delicate minnow]

because they're stupid

[brittle holly]

Took me a while to try it out because the initial gameplay I’d seen was recorded on console with shitty gfx

I mean they have 2 hours to realize this and hit refund I don’t get it

Or did you make it get super hard at 2h1m ?😀

[delicate minnow]

right?!

[empty dune]

I know why. There are collectors out there who collect delisted games. How do I know? r/SteamGameSwap

Delisted game keys are highly valued cosmetic commodities

[brittle holly]

The shit people spend money on

[delicate minnow]

no I mean why do people not read description, buy the game and then give a bad review that says exactly what the description says

[empty dune]

Ive seen 1$ delisted games go for as much as 10$ each

So your game just exponentially increased in value

[brittle holly]

Perceived scarcity will do that, doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get rich off it

[empty dune]

No, he won't get rich

[delicate minnow]

🤷‍♂️

[empty dune]

But its a nice time to get some money that people are literally offering him

[delicate minnow]

some people also forget that Steam returns you the 100 bucks after you reach a certain threshold

[brittle holly]

Ooh they do? That’s nice

[delicate minnow]

yep

[empty dune]

after 1000$

[delicate minnow]

which is exactly how much the game made in 3 years

and I just don't care about it anymore

it was more of a learning experience

with how steam works and stuff, so I was better prepared with tile town

[slim atlas]

what is the reason

[delicate minnow]

1. it was my first experiment with how publishing a game works and how steam partner interface works
2. it did pretty bad and hasn't sold a single copy in over 4 months (apart from today but that's because of the announcement)
3. people were not reading the description, buying it just from screenshots and then giving it bad reviews instead of refunding (everything they complained about was described in the description and part of the game)
4. it was way too niche

I just don't want to have it there and deal with it anymore

and for income/tax reporting purposes as well

[slim atlas]

ok but then make it free

[empty dune]

or

[delicate minnow]

eh

[empty dune]

double price

[soft night]

you can pblame raindust for this

[brittle holly]

https://youtube.com/shorts/xXfTkISXz_0?si=Nf-04edXt8IlUsY0

[delicate minnow]

the thing is, if you want some sort of traffic on your steam page you also have to take care of the game, update it, post annoucements and stuff. And this game is just not designed for this, it's a one-off experience with not much to add

and I also just don't care about it so I don't wanna do anything like it

so I'm getting it out of the way completely

[empty dune]

x2

x4

x6

[brittle holly]

Yeah just capitalize on it might as well

[delicate minnow]

it wouldn't do anything

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

[brittle holly]

What’ve you got to lose ?

[delicate minnow]

i have nothing to gain either :D

[brittle holly]

By doubling the price before it gets delisted ?

[delicate minnow]

and I don't think steam would accept a price change when the game is listed for.. delisting

that's just scammy

[brittle holly]

A good experiment

[delicate minnow]

i don't wanna be scammy

[brittle holly]

Idk, there’s a diff between scammy and good business sense

[delicate minnow]

good business sense for a game which hasn't sold a copy in 4 months?

yeah no

this would not make me rich :D

if someone wants they can still buy it

[brittle holly]

EA is scammy, making a few bucks for your hard work before it goes away forever is not

[errant raven]

Two cats talking about game companies

[empty dune]

your customers are literally asking for it😂

[delicate minnow]

thanks to youtube's idiocy, now more and more people are using other browsers than chrome and new people are discovering adblock

which I love

for shooting yourself in the leg

Finally people will realize how shit chrome is

[zinc wagon]

My condolences 😔

[delicate minnow]

huh

why

I didn't even realize that youtube had something with ads

firefox with adblock has absolutely no issues lmao

i first heard it from my colleagues who use chrome

[zinc wagon]

Me too! But I'm not using Firefox

I just don't like it personally

[errant raven]

I use a clone firefox thing so I can still play childhood flash games

[lofty lark]

Their adblock detection also only works if you're signed into a youtube account as far as I can tell

[delicate minnow]

if people knew what chrome really does in the background they wouldn't use it lol

google is very sneaky

but everyone accepts all terms anyway

[zinc wagon]

Yeah idk I just saw it on YouTube as well but it sounds like it's true. Google is known for hating privacy and it's seems like the EU's favourite pass time at this point is to sue big tech corps which I don't mind not one bit

Darth sidius is the worst sith lord

Past Sith lords earned their titles. He killed his master while he was sleeping. No honour, not worthy of the title

[empty dune]

wasnt fully asleep but yeah plagueis didnt fight back even when he was conscious

[errant raven]

Whole point of needing to kill your master in battle to become the new sith lord was to prevent the sith from getting weaker. Sidius missed this

Kinda reversed the rule of 2 as well, the whole rule that was put in place to stop infighting

[empty dune]

in the book it was pretty weird. plagueis literally didnt fight back. he allowed himself to be killed

even sidious doubts his achievement

but his ego soon takes over

[errant raven]

Anakin saga is fucking weird in general

[empty dune]

i prefer old republic because of this

[errant raven]

Qui gon couldn't kill maul, qui gon being one of the most powerful jedi at the time

Obi wan can tho

Didnt even kill him tho

Howd qui gon die but half the characters in disneys bs get stabbed or cut all the time and live as if it didn't happen

They didnt give yaddle the respect she deserved in the films either

Oh here's another bit of really weird star wars lore. Sidious was a pickup artist when he was younger

Its mentioned in the book "Darth Plageuis"

That book had issues

[errant raven]

he should've picked up sum bitches

[empty dune]

He had many lovers apparently

So

Yeah

Yeaaaah

[errant raven]

Ok well shit

Should've picked up some nude pallets after getting his sith lightning reflected

[proud jay]

why not product, quotient or difference bitches

or was he just trying to stay positive

[broken sigil]

welp lol
https://youtu.be/sJoplcYFdyg

[proud jay]

well, msft already owns 49% of openai

so he was pretty much already working for them

maybe they set a secret plan in motion to get him fired to rehire him

[errant raven]

Not that kind of pickup artist

Hes a master of death, not donuts

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-por-que-no-los-dos-yey-gif-15089379

[broken sigil]

So at the moment MS offers anyone from openai to switch over to MS's AI division or whatever they are calling it

And openAI employees have made a letter to the board requesting all of them to resign otherwise they will be leaving open AI, 500/600 of the employees have signed it lol

[errant raven]

He was trying to stay positive. Cant produce sith lightning if you're negative

Everything points to Sam's cofounder stabbed him in the back, that's the current rumor at least

yeah that guy, pretty sure he didn't

It was Greg (?) that quit when Sam got fired

[errant raven]

Frodo isnt gonna be happy when he hears about this

[broken sigil]

Basically MS is getting a new group formed with Sam as the CEO if I got all the ropes correctly lol

[proud jay]

ilya was gonna be interim ceo I think?

so could be power play between them

[errant raven]

Che chang

[broken sigil]

This might have been one of the best uno reverse plays in history

[errant raven]

And they called jk rowling racist for naming a character cho chang

[timber viper]

no

[proud jay]

u

[timber viper]

how's life, ditere?

[broken sigil]

[timber viper]

me? i always wanted to be ceo

[proud jay]

lifing I guess

[timber viper]

sounds boring

[proud jay]

yup

might be trading in my car for an electric one soon

apparently the company is looking for people that want to trade in their gas car for full electric one

I'm game

[proud jay]

#petting-zoo

[brittle holly]

Dieter, didn’t you die?

[proud jay]

I die every day

[timber viper]

why you sound disappointed

[broken sigil]

😐

[proud jay]

and resurrect about 8 hours later

[proud jay]

loser words

[brittle holly]

….And I was forced to resign

[broken sigil]

"I stabbed you with a knife in the back... oh wait I didn't know that would actually hurt you... my bad... oopsies"

[timber viper]

i guess he's the dude behind the idea of giving up the open part of the openai

[brittle holly]

It hasn’t fully been integrated into modern day work enough for that. A true evil genius would give it another decade before pulling the plug

[broken sigil]

hey that's been my popcorn source for the last few days

[timber viper]

I dont laugh at microsoft conquering openai for free lol

its worrying

[brittle holly]

I wouldn’t be surprised

Given it wanted to hire people on Fiver to solve captchas for it

[broken sigil]

thanks, I didn't need extra stomach problems

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sad-why-why-are-we-still-here-just-to-suffer-gif-17485467

[broken sigil]

I mean it would be stupid of them not to take this chance

[timber viper]

yeah but this is because board's stupity

[brittle holly]

So what’s the latest, are they bringing Sam’s back? Did they fire him because he did not want to charge people for it or what

[timber viper]

I never liked Sam, idk why emplooyes like him either maybe someone enlighten me?

[brittle holly]

I thought you were freelance 😛 ^

https://tenor.com/view/nom-eat-eating-snack-popcorn-gif-5369618

[broken sigil]

Sam is gonna be a CEO of a new division at microsoft and 500/700 of openai employees have signed a letter requesting all board memebers to resign or they will switch over to microsoft
That's the current tldr

[brittle holly]

Lol

Egg-cellent

[broken sigil]

I do like him, don't really have a reason myself not to

[brittle holly]

You didn’t see him in the news telling Congress that they need to pump the brakes on AI even tho he built AI ?

[timber viper]

I mean, he's pretty much a megacorp villain who doesnt pursue people's needs lol

he is straight from cyberpunk lore

[brittle holly]

Me neither but it leaks onto YouTube

Laura’s got the net neutrality YouTube version

[broken sigil]

as someone who lowkey hopes for cyberpunk to happen I see no issue there

[timber viper]

unless you're V or from Arasaka family it sucks to live in that world though 😄

[brittle holly]

Can honestly relate as it’s crossed my mind but I usually think how many people die in Night City every day in various ways, all violent, and that I’d prly need up being one of them

[timber viper]

working at arasaka counterintelligence as corpo was better tbh

[brittle holly]

Laura’s gonna be IRL Panam 😁

[timber viper]

if our "friend" wasnt so much of an asshole

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-ok-um-okay-hmm-wait-gif-15827095

[timber viper]

Laura would be a netrunner

if she wasnt an AI

[brittle holly]

Yeah, you were prly playing female V, and we’ll leave that there 😅

[timber viper]

I'm also playing with female V, just to date with Judy

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/actually-nerd-actually-nerd-glasses-well-yes-but-actually-no-gif-5597798959730072444

[brittle holly]

Tbh I feel Industries of Titan got it right (even tho that game didn’t really go anywhere). Civilians had to sit in a cubicle and watch ads all day to generate revenue for the corporation

[timber viper]

being both so offensive, violent and sexual is an interesting combo

[brittle holly]

No lol, that’s not what I meant!

[timber viper]

I wonder if it has to do with arasaka or V

probably V

[proud jay]

I bet you're one of those "women ☕ " people

[brittle holly]

When you’re playing male V, you get to see “more” of Panam

[paper imp]

Some good ass pjs ngl

[timber viper]

still not good as Judy

[broken sigil]

📏 ||if you get the reference lol||

nvm 😐

[brittle holly]

I don’t recognize this

He says a lot of funny stuff

[proud jay]

like "it's johnnying time"

[brittle holly]

I did like the extra char dev they added for him in PL tho

[broken sigil]

Look at the name of the emoji lol

lol

true

I like johnny

[zinc wagon]

I remember that one! And then he proceeded to John all over the people

[timber viper]

I couldnt stand Johnny IRL

[brittle holly]

||Robert John Linser ||

Iirc

[zinc wagon]

Who Johnny?

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/theshining-killer-heresjohnny-gif-5014874

[brittle holly]

Oh yeah, that I rmbr

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk2077-keanu-we-have-a-city-to-burn-handsome-shades-off-gif-16336796

[broken sigil]

ok yeah I laughed at that

[brittle holly]

This was never actually in the game tho I think

Haven’t finished 2nd playthrough yet tho 😅

[zinc wagon]

Oh...I don't remember him being funny...just kinda of an arse tbh

[brittle holly]

He has his moments

[broken sigil]

I'm gonna do a 2nd run after I finish control

[brittle holly]

You just played PL only this time ?

[broken sigil]

I played PL from my existing save I had from 2020, which was towards the end of the base game

[proud jay]

you need to play the trailer level

it has cows and rainbows

[timber viper]

the detective?

[brittle holly]

I’m immune to your powers, Dieter! 😁

[timber viper]

god he was so cringe

[proud jay]

that's what they want you to think

[proud jay]

god really is cringe

[timber viper]

but maybe I'm biased because I'm a male that plays female V

[broken sigil]

I know for a fact I will choose the same ending again in the PL when I play it again

[timber viper]

I couldnt stand making soup for him

and left the mission area

[brittle holly]

I mean you made that bed

[zinc wagon]

Eh. I probably should do a second playthough at this moment. I remember playing Cyberpunk at release and it was a mess and models for 99% of my gameplay weren't event loaded lol.

[timber viper]

depends on the god

[broken sigil]

I do that in any competitive game
I think I talked about it before lol

[zinc wagon]

Which made me not follow the story much. All I remember is at the end i was in space

[timber viper]

aww I love this song

[brittle holly]

Never had that tbh. It still has some funny graphical glitches sometimes but it’s been decent for me both times. Get PL tho, I have just started that part of the game and it’s already worth every penny @zinc wagon

[zinc wagon]

Don't think you actually end in space there lol

[timber viper]

after only listening nightcore since 2010 listening regular version feels like world is 10x slower

[broken sigil]

The game now after the 2.0 update is something else entirely, everything is so much better
And PL feels like a different game, the level of quality and writing in PL is pretty insane

[zinc wagon]

I tried it a bit and it looked decent but the story (at the start at least. Never really finished it) was one of those cliché American action movies. ya know, that kind of (we need to save the city, but first let me fix that old beef i have with this old friend)

But that was after I finished rdr2 lol so probably not fair

I'll give a go again. Playing cs2 for a month should be a good pallet cleanser

[broken sigil]

we need to save the city, but first let me fix that old beef i have with this old friend
That's just the intro, it quickly twists everything upside down after

[zinc wagon]

Ah that's good to hear

[brittle holly]

Lol I managed to play it for like 6h total before I noped out of it

[brittle holly]

Tbh even just the initial meet and greet with Idris was some awesome writing

[timber viper]

this is my playlist for this month

[broken sigil]

oh yeah 💯

wait till you see the rest 😆

[proud jay]

you finish 3 games in a month?

jeez

[brittle holly]

Ik, I can’t wait hehe

[proud jay]

big flex

[timber viper]

no lol

I wish

I just play

[broken sigil]

you'll want a 2nd playthrough of it as well 😛

[lofty lark]

Then quits because he can't find the door

[zinc wagon]

Fair enough it just a graphics improvement and nothing else. Except the smoke mechanic that was a pretty cool feature

Also Italy is the most gorgeous map ever

[proud jay]

I think that's a country

don't quote me on it though

[timber viper]

[zinc wagon]

Probably Most beautiful environment in all of gaming

[brittle holly]

New smoke mechanic, same old toxic community 😀

[zinc wagon]

If you never been called the n-word while in a CS match. Have you really played cs?

[proud jay]

more like noverwatch, amirite fellas

[proud jay]

they do call me noob all the time

[brittle holly]

If you didn’t get vote kicked because you tried to get rid of a blatant cheater before, have you really played CS ? 😀

Better that you didn’t have to suffer through that experience

[zinc wagon]

Payday3 soundtrack are the best! I like the progression of calm to extreme it's really smooth and really is just great when you are like programming while the music is in the background

[brittle holly]

Yeah, being a girl in CS would’ve been brutal especially 10 years ago. Multiplayer in general is not as bad for girls nowadays, I think

[timber viper]

i like it too

[broken sigil]

the key is to embrace the toxicity, espeically if it's a competitive game 😆

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/boston-dynamics-robot-crash-faceplant-gif-22818866

[brittle holly]

I can’t wait for Boston Dynamics robots to annihilate us for every time they were kicked in the name of making them more resilient

[zinc wagon]

The community is differently hit or miss. For me I've mostly played either with drunk Russians or racist Scandinavian (also there are some decent people as well of course)

[brittle holly]

US servers are prly even worse tbh

[zinc wagon]

If you don't take them seriously then you'll have a great time imo

Imagine playing a competitive game compatitivly 😒

[brittle holly]

Same for the first part, don’t rly have friends to play games with

[brittle holly]

Iskander.exe has suffered a fatal error at line 237: English.dll

[broken sigil]

I used to a have a group I played fortnite with and one girl that played with us and my god... the random teammates we would get would either be extra nice or extra toxic as soon as she talked

[zinc wagon]

Until you convince a drunk dude that aliens are real lmao

Idk I like some chaos every now and then

[timber viper]

same for valorant these days

[brittle holly]

I mean yeah, the avg Fortnite age is like 12yo no? 😁

[timber viper]

and I hate riot and/or epic wasnt doing anything so far about it

epic finally implemented voice chat investigation

[zinc wagon]

That's why justcasue is on my top 10 favourite games. Things can go south really quick and I tend to enjoy that

[brittle holly]

Are they recording the voice chats or what

[zinc wagon]

What's the fun in that!

[broken sigil]

we were like 18-20 😅
And it's also kinda funny, you would expect to only get kids on fornite but that was actually not the case, it was way more common to get 20-30yo than actual kids

[timber viper]

they announceed something but idk the details

[broken sigil]

not sure how it is now tho

[brittle holly]

I mean… I thought that was common knowledge here

[zinc wagon]

I want to see you talking in 3 language without ever making a grammatical mistake 🙃

JK btw ik I suck at writing in general 😅

[brittle holly]

I don’t think anyone likes EGS except for BM (but he does it for the discounts)

[proud jay]

people like the free games

that's it

[brittle holly]

I can speak 3 languages, but yeah not very well 😅

[broken sigil]

pretty sure Apex does this
I had someone toxic in VC, reported them and later got an email saying they took actions agains them

[brittle holly]

Nice

[zinc wagon]

Technically four if we gonna count my native language

[proud jay]

the fact that it takes like 7 years to boot up doesn't help

and I thought steam startup was slow already

[brittle holly]

tbh tho, Steam has a metric ton of content to load

I can’t blame them for having a bit of loading

EGS has nothing in comparison lol

[proud jay]

you don't need to load everything on startup

90% of the time I just go to the library to play last played game

[brittle holly]

Ik, but it’s got a lot of functionality that needs to be ready

[proud jay]

I don't need it

[brittle holly]

Yes, but how many games are actually on GOG?

[proud jay]

a lot actually

[brittle holly]

Recent, modern games

[zinc wagon]

The main thing I hate about egs is need to sign in every 5 damn minutes

[brittle holly]

In comparison to Steam

[zinc wagon]

Even when egs is open it sometimes wants you to sign in again

[proud jay]

gog superiority proven on the home page

[brittle holly]

Nvm fricken Quixel every time there’s an engine hotfix

[brittle holly]

Oh? Sign me up! 🙃

Hahaha I’m laughing out loud rn

[zinc wagon]

Can't believe there's an actual audience for these kind of games

[brittle holly]

Dieter just completely demolishes his and Laura’s position with a one liner lol

[proud jay]

I can't believe I have 43 games on GOG

I think I got most of them for free

[zinc wagon]

Aren't the games you download public?

[brittle holly]

I k

[zinc wagon]

Nope and I hate it here sometimes

[brittle holly]

It’s just kinda hard for you to bring more valid arguments for GOG when Dieter comes out and says it’s great for pr0n 🤣

[broken sigil]

steam is adding a way to hide the game you are playing\

[proud jay]

there's plentyn on steam too though

[broken sigil]

or added already

[proud jay]

except that I blocked it there

[brittle holly]

There are, yeah but it doesn’t exactly say one store is better than the other

[proud jay]

oh firewatch only 5 bucks on gog

[zinc wagon]

Oh I wonder why. Hopefully people will use that feature for savoury and appropriate scenarios

[brittle holly]

Aye, I got that fibre

[proud jay]

would be great deal if I hadn't watched a full playthrough already

[broken sigil]

[proud jay]

this comment is very relevant

[zinc wagon]

"reacties"

That's what I'm more interested in

[brittle holly]

Lol!

I guess they put more thought into it than the usual “First!” comments

An oddly specific reaction tho

Do they what

[proud jay]

it's dutch

[brittle holly]

Idk

I don’t think so

Depends on the country I guess

I hear the French are more… libertarian 🙃

[zinc wagon]

Sounds like that Minecraft font lol

[proud jay]

what

[brittle holly]

Tbh, we should change comments to reacties overall

Sounds nicer

[zinc wagon]

Not font I meant language let me find it. Just sec

[brittle holly]

There’s a Minecraft language ?

[proud jay]

probably swedish

[brittle holly]

https://tenor.com/view/ikea-swedish-fuck-you-ryan-reynolds-gif-5506285

[zinc wagon]

No like in the settings where you can change the language from English to french or Arabic or whatever

[brittle holly]

I clicked the wrong gif but this works too 😁

[zinc wagon]

They have like a silly ester egg language option I can't remember what it was called

[brittle holly]

Never played Minecraft sry

[proud jay]

until you do this is all a lie

There are five joke languages available at the language menu: Pirate Speak, LOLCAT, Shakespearean English, Anglish (puristic English), and ɥsᴉlƃuƎ (ɯopᵷuᴉʞ pǝʇᴉu∩) (upside-down English).

[zinc wagon]

You should honestly with friends

[zinc wagon]

Very fair

[proud jay]

these people have too much time
Minecraft is also translated into tlhIngan Hol, the Klingon language from Star Trek; Quenya, one of the Elvish languages from Lord of the Rings; Lojban, a conlang made by the LLC (Logical Language Group); and Esperanto, a conlang created by L.L. Zamenhof.

If a player types "excitedze" into the search bar in the recipe book, their language is automatically switched to Pirate Speak. "ExcitedZe" is the username of Maria Lemón, a former Mojang Studios staff member.[6]

[brittle holly]

I have 2 issues:

1. I have an aversion to old squarey graphics.
2. I have no friends to play games with 🥲

[zinc wagon]

Oh yeah LOLCAT. That's were things get renamed to stuff like "reacties"

[proud jay]

it's just reactions in dutch 😔

[brittle holly]

We did?

[proud jay]

never read it as a cute diminutive of react

[zinc wagon]

Reacties :3

[brittle holly]

I mean Satisfactory is kinda the same thing but better no?

I liked it but got bored with it eventually

I tried update 8 but couldn’t bring myself to actually get back into the complexity

[proud jay]

I like Factorio a lot

but then got distracted by other things

[brittle holly]

Might need to start it over again at some point

The other issue is every time I get captivated by a game, I get torn between coding and playing so it’s not always ideal 😅

I would love to code during the day and play in the evening but alas no one would pay for my shit “skills” 😁

[proud jay]

the ISS fits inside that vegas sphere?

wth

[brittle holly]

Yes, exactly, which circles back to the initial problem

To code or not to code, that is the…W/e

[zinc wagon]

Minecraft as well 🙃

[brittle holly]

You mean the one that’s going bankrupt ?

[proud jay]

what

[brittle holly]

Yep

[proud jay]

the international space station is going bankrupt?

[brittle holly]

The sphere. https://m.slashdot.org/story/421247

[proud jay]

what is that website

where is the layout

[brittle holly]

Idk

[zinc wagon]

Oh I think ik what that mod is! That's super interesting

[brittle holly]

No idea, it looks like early 2000s stuff

[zinc wagon]

What do you mean launching rockets at the sky wouldn't make us money!?

[brittle holly]

People underestimate the value of science

Without launching rockets at the sky you’d still be using physical maps to travel

Point being no GPS

[proud jay]

we should do some more world wars, always helps technology

[brittle holly]

Remind me whose side were the Netherlands on in WWII?

[zinc wagon]

Yes that's true but like...money? Me like money I spend money make me money, money? Yes please
-the US probably

[proud jay]

the allies

[carmine frigate]

nutral

[proud jay]

but they got fucked in like 3 days

[carmine frigate]

didnt really work out tho

[proud jay]

weak af

[brittle holly]

Lol

[proud jay]

idk why you ask me about the netherlands though

dutch people suck

[zinc wagon]

The US is already ahead of ya

[brittle holly]

Are you asking how is launching rockets into space making you money?

[proud jay]

Despite Dutch neutrality, Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands on 10 May 1940 as part of Fall Gelb (Case Yellow).[1] On 15 May 1940, one day after the bombing of Rotterdam, the Dutch forces surrendered

owned

losers

[brittle holly]

I mean, I think my country was kinda in the same boat

[carmine frigate]

it was a fake surrender

[brittle holly]

Facing immediate annihilation you’d prly say “sure we’ll surrender” even if you don’t mean it

[proud jay]

at least we lasted 18 days

[zinc wagon]

I understand that science discovery and research doesn't always make money but can still benefit the world. But the US obviously want money so they're not as welling to fund projects like that

[proud jay]

at least we flooded our country to stop the germans in ww1

counts for something

[brittle holly]

I mean, like NDT says, any tech advances are first used to gain military advantages and the US loves those

[zinc wagon]

I wonder if Algerians didn't participate in the french/German war back in 1945 would France still exist? 🤔

[brittle holly]

I’m sure it was a concerted effort

[zinc wagon]

Shame, we thought we were making a deal with the French but just stabbed us in the back 😢

[proud jay]

owned

[zinc wagon]

You'd think the US would be content with their wall hacks tech lmao

But nope. Need more shit

it can be handy every now then to access region locked content and stuff

why not

it was claim and keep afaik

but it said "no licenses available" for me

not that I would play it really

still only 80 cents atm

not a firefox targeted thing

either way it's weird

Most annoying, they can crawl through 1mm openings to lay eggs. I'm very careful of how I keep food in the storage.

[timber viper]

ew

[empty dune]

i dont recognise it

[timber viper]

dont bonk me

once they get out of hand you'll see

[bronze axle]

She is singing in Italian. You can turn on subtitles to see both Italian and English lyrics.

[empty dune]

oooh okay

[broken sigil]

Yeah found a bunch of larvae in an old bag of peanuts
Interesting fact, even tho it looks like worms, it isn't, it's caterpillars

[cursive crypt]

I think they are edible 🤔

[broken sigil]

honestly... it would be one of the less weird things I've heard of people eating 😆

[empty dune]

fat pikachu is mood

[cursive crypt]

Fat Pikachu will clog its arteries down the road. That's why they put him on a diet.

[timber viper]

true

[broken sigil]

hey if I it doesn't look like it came from the 5th circle of hell I'm fine with it

[timber viper]

I would rather rewrite BP2CPP in F# to live with any bug

I'm already traumazited by the bug I saw on the window earlier this month

[broken sigil]

I'm fine with most things except spiders (I can tolerate small house spiders), centipedes (excepts those small house ones), mosquitos/flies (different kind of hate tho), and cockroaches

[timber viper]

centipedes (excepts those small house ones)

"(excepts those small house ones)"

ALL CENTIPEDES SHOULD BE BURNED TO DEATH

[broken sigil]

you know those like light brown ones, small, bunch of legs
They are harmless, ain't the prettiest thing but I don't hate it

On the other hand that chonky nightmare fuel, 20cm long can return straight to hell
Last one I burned with a lighter and rubbing alcohol

(I'm not even joking)

[timber viper]

I wouldnt survive in your house thats for sure

[broken sigil]

I live next to a forest 😆

[timber viper]

Its amazing our kind survived the insects and animals

maybe thats why there are no other damn living specie in this planet

they die before surviving through hypermassive centipedes

[broken sigil]

😆

Well tbf 99% of insects and even snakes here and harmless, you have to be real luckly to find anything actually dangerous here

[timber viper]

Snakes???

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/snake-shows-fangs-viralhog-angry-snake-rattlesnake-sharp-teeth-gif-17281271

[broken sigil]

yeah we have like 1 snake that's actually venomous enough to do anything to you

[timber viper]

[cursive crypt]

BM living in a hell.

[timber viper]

look at this ugly fucking thing, how wide its teeth can spread

wewwwwwwwwwwww

scary af

[timber viper]

not even a regular snake

a god damn viper

[broken sigil]

If you actually get bit by something venomous here you might as well get an award for the luckies man alive lol

[timber viper]

I feel very uncomfortable even when I think about this in my home where its on 7th floor

[timber viper]

unluckiest*

[broken sigil]

well you have to be pretty lucky to find something venomous first 😅

[timber viper]

you live in a way different world enough to consider this luck

[broken sigil]

99% of everything here is harmless 😂
Even wild boars we have here are kinda dumb too lol

[timber viper]

oh yeah? so I can go on and pat its head casually?

[broken sigil]

a couple of them have been coming every other night for years

[timber viper]

I know also in florida people kind of pet alligators in their yards

[broken sigil]

it runs away on any slight noise you make

And they literally pay no attention to my cats either
My cats quite literally stand like 30 cm from them and they ignore each other

how is that even possible I don't know lol

[cursive crypt]

Nice.

[timber viper]

send your cats to #petting-zoo

[sweet rose]

So

Microsoft

[cursive crypt]

OpenSuse btw

[errant raven]

You underestimate their power

[zinc wagon]

That sounds like a horrible idea! Imagine being an assassin who cannot sprint for more than 5 meters

[zinc wagon]

I think it's a regional thing? I'm not sure but it sounds like something Google would do tbh

[errant raven]

Is it just me or is modern cartoons getting worse in terms of artistic design

[regal pecan]

Western or eastern?

[errant raven]

Canadian and u.s

[lofty lark]

You telling me you don't see this as an improvement?

[errant raven]

No

[lofty lark]

I agree.

[regal pecan]

Look, NFTs!

[lofty lark]

It's fucking horrendous

[errant raven]

That show is a prime example of hypocrisy

[lofty lark]

I have watched exactly 0 seconds of it.

I just (unfortunately) know of it's existence.

[errant raven]

Adult cartoons like futurama are better

Cw4kids needs to come back

[timber viper]

Futurama was awesome

[errant raven]

The world must remember the 2003 teen titan series and the 2003 tmnt series

[timber viper]

animes at least mostly still pretty good unlike western animations

[errant raven]

I'd watch more anime, but only the big names get finished

[regal pecan]

Can't afford the production value. No longer funded by an army of toy and merchandise manufacturers.

[timber viper]

last "good" western animation I watched by "Inside Job"

[errant raven]

That and Nickelodeon purchased tmnt which was most likely cw4kids biggest show at the time

[timber viper]

plots were average, similar thing what rick and morty is doing but a bit more regular

[errant raven]

I dont even like rick and morty

[lofty lark]

courage the cowardly dog one of my favs.

and foster's home for imaginary friends

[errant raven]

Those are good ones

[lofty lark]

The golden age of cartoons.

[timber viper]

[errant raven]

My gym partner is a monkey, camp lazlo, mr meaty, chowder, billy and mandy, flapjack. The rest of the good ones

No one remembers the first two in that list

It should be criminal

[timber viper]

I dont know why, there isnt a logical reason behind this but at my childhood I hated camp lazlo with passion

[lofty lark]

i refuse to believe you

i am proof that is a lie

[timber viper]

johnny bravo was funny

[lofty lark]

mr meaty was fucking weird

really fucking weird

[errant raven]

Even that channel on youtube that has the "wait, do you remember (show_name)" hasn't done camp lazlo

He did do my gym partner tho

Camp lazlos ending was really weird

[errant raven]

Tapeworm

[lofty lark]

I did not like that show. Every memory I have of it just makes me feel uncomfortable.

[errant raven]

https://tenor.com/view/shadowmatch-gif-21171536

[lofty lark]

The fact Chowder got cancelled is criminal.

[errant raven]

Chowder is a musical masterpiece
