I am, that's why my reply speed is so quick.

[broken sigil]

because twitter

you had your answer in the question itself

[errant raven]

Yeah yeah twitter is the epitome of idiocracy made real

Who lost jobs to ai? All I can think of is game/anime localisers, which is deserved

[lofty lark]

something good enough to harrass["cancel"] people over
Anything they remotely disagree with in the slightest. Place has been like that for years

[errant raven]

Are these the same people bitching about min wage not being livable on?

[lofty lark]

maybe? Discord is the most social form of media I use :p

I've just seen nothing but hate/harassment come out of twitter

[errant raven]

Min wage here went up from 7.25 to 13-15$

More than enough to live off of, unless you spend your money on designer bullshit and apple products

[lofty lark]

*Depending on where you are obvi

cost of living varies a lot

The cost of living where i'm located is hell of a lot cheaper than something like Los Angeles. Both have the same federal minimum wage.

[errant raven]

I'm pretty sure min wage localizes from state to state to account for cost of living differences

[queen isle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maL1PDVsGpo am i out of touch if i don't know who this is?

[lofty lark]

That's up to the state.

If they don't specify a minimum wage, or it's below federal minimum, then federal applies

There is no federal adjustment of federal minimum wage based off location.

[errant raven]

It's just a reference for state governments to follow

I know I know

Some jobs are meant to be used to save up for a better education so you can get a better job

Would be stupid for someone wanting to be a doctor to spend all that money on schooling just to make less than meth addicted fry cooks

other countries, not so much

[celest musk]

is that a french plant?

[subtle hatch]

Not everyone has a 4k display and want their hard drive bloated should modern games give users a installation to not install in a 4k texture pack and only stick with 2k. To save up space

Same with Xbox Series X/ Xbox One and PS5 / PS4

When I'm finished with my game, I want to give user a choice to better customize their installation

[fluid bloom]

ya those are completely different

[errant raven]

@lofty lark someone found a way to capture tower bosses. The ones with humans riding them.

[fluid bloom]

orthogonal things 🤓

[errant raven]

You gotta aggro guards, fast travel to the tower, dont attack the boss, let the guards shoot it once then throw any pal sphere at the boss. Will automatically catch them

[subtle hatch]

Isn't 4k textures loaded only on PS4 pro ?

[proud jay]

that's what the 4 in PS4 stands for

the PS5 loads 5k textures, hence the better quality

[brittle holly]

And the X in Xbox stands for 10k

[subtle hatch]

No

I mean Regular og PS4 properly could have loaded 2k textures

I'd imagine the PS5 would load 8k textures if 8k display becomes more common

The PS3 is likely on 1k textures

Since most games for that system are max 8 to 11 gb

[pearl elk]

poor texels getting blamed for pixel problems

[subtle hatch]

[subtle hatch]

I always knew the number next to a console name isn't linked to the texture size that a console can store. I was basically asking if the texture size is related to the monitor size for a native 4k gameplay because my game currently has a 2k and 4k texture options.

[proud jay]

it's not

texture size and output resolution are not related

you can make a game 4k with 256 bit textures if you want

[subtle hatch]

Burnout Paradise Remastered had 4k output but no native 4k gameplay since that would require a major art overhual.

[cursive crypt]

Answer it again.

[proud jay]

if you upscale mario 64 it can also be 4k

not related to art

[subtle hatch]

It would be pixelated I guess aha

[tulip orbit]

but can I run a game with 4k textures at 320x240?

[proud jay]

doesn't make it any less 4k though

[pearl elk]

Can I run a game with 4k textures at 1359x3581.5?

[cursive crypt]

Is that a fuzzy pixel?

[unborn lotus]

it doesnt have to be if you have enough texel density, tile them more

[pearl elk]

I make sure to add enough polys for 16k displays, gotta have 1 poly per pixel for the per pixel collision detection

If temperatures are cooler on the moon can my pc run crysis 3?

[median wraith]

moon were the space in mind for the first nanite interaction, as don't have foliage

still waiting to someone that makes the deeps of the ocean with nanite

technically the best stituation

[empty dune]

Man i wanted to make an underwater game first. But fluid simulation is so expensive (and janky)

[median wraith]

who careas about the fluids simulation underwater

Is Crysis 4 set on the moon?

talking about Crysis

[pearl elk]

Maximum Diamond Hands

[empty dune]

Crysis 4 features the cry token, that will ride to the moon

Buy the initial lot now

[median wraith]

it's funny how a game from 2011 with realtime GI looks better than the other ones by the same time using baked light with what it seems simple bakers

[empty dune]

1 cry = 1000 usd

[median wraith]

and dobule fun if you compare with the modern games and the difference is minimal

[pearl elk]

CryCash

[pearl elk]

Wait, which game?

[median wraith]

Crysis 2

LPV

[empty dune]

Alternatively you can passive generate CryCash at a rate of 500 mL tears produced by you crying to 0.00001 CryCash

[pearl elk]

but the levels are very small right compared to modern standards

[median wraith]

well yeah, I mean Crysis 1 were bigger

but can be fit with any of this days lineal campaings tbh

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-levels-rank-gif-21093336

[empty dune]

I remember trying to play crysis 1 at 480p resolution. It worked, at 10 fps

[pearl elk]

Thats why Uncharted games looked so good, linear levels

[median wraith]

I do remember the COD4 illumination baker used to take me 1h to bake each level

and the light were the most simple thing ever, didn't even had bounces

so that's why surprises me now how bad those baked ones looks compared to say Crysis 2 by the time

[pearl elk]

I had to use MentalRay in 3dsMax to get GI lol

[median wraith]

another good example is mirror edge

by 2 years before with baked GI

[pearl elk]

Now we have The Finals

[median wraith]

yeah the finals managed a nice looking with Nvidia GI

but isn't as good as Lumen on quality lets say

aside from that I used to like the game prior release, but no anymore for some reason

[timber viper]

https://vxtwitter.com/danluu/status/1749574181203915144

[lofty lark]

Why is it so common for people to design stuff they don't use .-.

[pearl elk]

Money, people just wanna get paid

[slim atlas]

hi

[proud jay]

some people just don't like eating dog food

[lofty lark]

I mean I get taking the job

But

what do they know about the user experience of something they aren't a user of

[proud jay]

it's not always applicable though

ok for windows it is since everyone uses a pc

but if you e.g. you design a UI for the planning of a factory floor. The amount of people with both design and factory floor operation experience is very limited

of course it would be beneficial to talk to people that use it

[lofty lark]

that's fair

[pearl elk]

I mean ideally they would hire someone who actually cares but who goes to work at Microsoft because they care about Windows lol

So most people pick up a broom and look busy, get paid... raise their kids etc

[lofty lark]

But the one's designing the UI/X should still experience it in it's intended use-case imo

[pearl elk]

its difficult to have a fresh pair of eyes when youre the designer, which is why its user experience

I could sit down and use the thing how I know its meant to be used, give it to someone else and they break it every time

[proud jay]

so you'd want some surgery robotic UI designer to perform operations?

[lofty lark]

I never said the UI designer should be the only one

[lofty lark]

In a test environment? Yes. Something outside of a black-box UI designing space.

Do surgery on a grape. Test your UI that way

[pearl elk]

Many companies work similarly, its about who campaigns the hardest, who is the most liked... it rarely comes down to pure function versus form

"change for change sake" etc etc

[slim atlas]

our dream is going to become a reality

cyberpunk 2 will have coop

[lofty lark]

but then it wouldn't be a dream

[pearl elk]

if people could stop making sexuality a static that would be great

[slim atlas]

we just make her like men.

with a mod

[proud jay]

the designer will still not know what an actual surgeon would value most though

[pearl elk]

I would prefer if all sexual preferences were dynamic based on numerous factors... like for eg the presence of party drugs lol

Of course not. That's why you have actual surgeons test the product in addition to the UI designers actually testing/experiencing it themselves.

why did I read that as testing it on themselves

[pearl pewter]

I just cant wrap my head around how in my webdev job bubble, i have to do things like create api or website, change some things fix a bug here and there but gamedev is a totally different art there you have to make this game fun, have the next groundbreaking innovation, land the next indei hit xDD lol sry im fucking confused

Im kinda glad i don't have to do this for money

More power to those who do

[proud jay]

that's not really difference between web dev and game dev

that's difference between creating standard things, vs good innovative products

if you're just making FIFA 74 you lose a lot of that

if you're making the similar website for the 18th time that year, of course you get into this

[pearl elk]

No ones making FIFA 74 lol

[proud jay]

true

they renamed is to EA Sports FC

[pearl pewter]

Yeah that's true, but a website usually can't even encompass that much innovation and creativity as a game requires

[proud jay]

you also usually don't work on a website for 5+ years I suppose

[pearl pewter]

It naturally is just much bigger and creativity thirsti

[proud jay]

not necessarily

[pearl pewter]

yeah yeah, my brain isn't that sharp

[proud jay]

look at the crap shovelware mobile games being pushed out over developmen span of days

[pearl elk]

What if... hear me out... the website IS the game 🤯

[proud jay]

they're still games

[pearl pewter]

Yeah but you don't create that as a unreal dev xD

[proud jay]

that's what you think

[pearl pewter]

XDD roasted

They sure make great thing over there

[proud jay]

imo people in game overestimate difficulty and complexity of their work

not to put them down, it's not easy

but there's plenty of other places with the same level of those or harder

[pearl pewter]

Hmm.. i mean creating a game is much more analog and therere are lots of things you cant just measure and grasp like with software.. I think it really is harder than most things

Yep

[proud jay]

well there's different levels of everything

[pearl pewter]

You have to make it # fun # in many different ways

not get boring, catch you at the start, wide appeal etc..

[proud jay]

generic web dev (as in making the same copy pasted simple webpage for the 18000th time) is like one of the lowest forms of software development in my eyes though

[pearl pewter]

Damn, that's my job.. but yeah i agreee

[proud jay]

unfortunately it's where a lot of jobs are too

[pearl pewter]

That's why i code my own 3d renderer after submitting th PR

[pearl pewter]

Yeah..

[pearl pewter]

What do you do for money? Gamedev?

[proud jay]

I did gamedev for a few years

now I work as backend developer on supply chain planning solutions

[pearl pewter]

cool

[pearl pewter]

Guess that's less stressfull?

Supply chain planning.. whats that?

[proud jay]

wasn't really all that stressed at game dev either tbh

lol

[pearl pewter]

so good company?

bc of the crunch time rumors

[proud jay]

well they're bankrupt now, so I guess no

[pearl pewter]

xD

Good employer

[proud jay]

had some crunch at first company I worked at, but was not that common and you could just leave if you wanted to

the secret is not letting people walk over you

but I also never made my job part of my identity

I never had a job that I was not ready to get fired from at any point tbh

[pearl pewter]

Huh okay sounds hard to pull off emotionally..

I love the personal connections at work

[proud jay]

well I guess

but if you were able to make those connections in the first place, why would you not be able to do it again

I'm a strange man though

[lofty lark]

You can have great personal connections without making the job an integral part of who you are

[pearl pewter]

I see

noo 😦 why

[lofty lark]

Believe it or not, you can keep those personal connections after quitting

You can be friends with people you don't work with

[pearl pewter]

maybe its harder as a woman in tech?

[proud jay]

now you're just making things up

I wonder if Laura would know any women in tech

guys, why is everyone deleting messages

nexus mods hates people from india

i cant buy their sub and they wont let me download mods without making me want to unalive myself without buying their sub

no, they block the payment itself

ive tried

[unreal ether]

you don't have to pay

[empty dune]

any indian bank gets rejected

[lofty lark]

pay for what..?

its free

[unreal ether]

i just registered an account called "IJustWantMyMods" and that's it. 😆

[proud jay]

and that's a great price

[empty dune]

yes its free but to download a mod pack needs 4 different clicks and 2-3 seconds between each click. gets pretty frustrating when youre trying to download a pack. the wait timers are removed for the subs

[unreal ether]

that is peak laziness.

[empty dune]

bruh, the YAML mod pack has 200+ mods

and it needs me to confirm every single one of those

[unreal ether]

I downloaded 70+ mods for fallout and the waiting has yet to piss me off.

(not to mention in this instance we are talking literally a single mod)

[empty dune]

i mean if it just a single mod, yeah my complaint sounds ridiculous. make that 100 and now youre looking at annoyance territory. especially when the mods then get corrupted upon download

[empty dune]

yes this instance is fine, i was talking about general nexus mods experience

i did

it made it worse

i hate that website

i tried to download a 200+ mod pack like 3 times and each time a different mod got corrupted

imagine how many clicks you have to go through to find the mods

Seems like almost all the people fired from Riot are 2d artists, and concept artists mainly, or from what I see on Twitter

that smell from here

is sad

[lofty lark]

I didn't know they did a layoff

we’re eliminating about 530 roles globally, which represents around 11% of our workforce, with the biggest impact to teams outside of core development.

https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/2024-rioter-update

[median wraith]

The strange point to me always when i read this things is

[lofty lark]

Let me start by saying we’re as committed as ever to League PC, VALORANT, TFT, Wild Rift, and to exploration in R&D.

No mention of their fighting game 😦

[median wraith]

"offer bonus and health benefits to the people they fire"

man, that in europe are the basics, covered by the taxes we pay

[lofty lark]

Project L. It's not released, but it almost definitely isn't in R&D

They showed it off at EVO iirc

Has it's own site and everything https://project-l.riotgames.com/en-us/

But with Greg Street leaving last year, and some other leads, their MMO is almost certainly getting pushed back/slowed down 😦

Yeah

He founded a new studio late last year

[empty dune]

its not laziness, its the fact that im forced to do something mind numbingly boring and pointless and i cant even switch the browser tabs while making the confirmations otherwise the process breaks. idk about you but I dont like being chained to my pc doing nothing else other than watching the "Please wait" throbber

[lofty lark]

Sounds like LoR is getting sunset

As Legends of Runeterra continues its journey, we’re making changes to move the game toward sustainability. We know there’s a passionate community who absolutely love this game, and we do too. However, it hasn't performed as well as we need it to, despite our best efforts. We’ve been subsidizing the cost of development on LoR through our other games, but at this point, that’s just not a viable option. So, we’re reducing the size of the team and shifting our focus to the 'Path of Champions' PvE game mode.

[unreal ether]

but... the mods

they make it all worth it

[lofty lark]

and Riot Forge is getting sunset

In addition, we’re sunsetting Riot Forge

[unreal ether]

that corruption issue sounds like a real PITA tho

[empty dune]

i would agree, if they didnt get corrupted. i downloaded the YAML pack multiple times and it failed

because random mods got corrupted

in frustration i even tried vortex

that made everything worse

[lofty lark]

I think Riot Forge was a small branch studio tasked with making small games in the LoL universe like Ruined King and Song of Nunu

[empty dune]

a mod pack called "yet another mods list"

its for mechwarriors 5 mercenaries. has about 200 mods

[lofty lark]

not even Legends of Runeterra?

Their card game? Hearthstone genre game.

[empty dune]

artifact was valve

not riot

[lofty lark]

Idk what artifact is

[empty dune]

[lofty lark]

oops, i guess i forgot what YAML stood for XD

[lofty lark]

You see, here in the US our tax dollars go to the politicians pockets

and funding their private jets so they can fly to private islands

[proud jay]

I'm not sure YAML knows what YAML stands for

is it Yet Another Markup Language or YAML ain't a markup language

there's an alex jones game?

do you have to turn the freaking frogs gay?

[lofty lark]

Our costs have grown to the point where they’re unsustainable, and we’ve left ourselves with no room for experimentation or failure – which is vital to a creative company like ours. ... We rolled out hiring slowdowns, and in some cases hiring freezes.

If you're business is heading to a point of being unsustainable, or already there, why would you be hiring at all

[proud jay]

he's already turning the freaking pandas gay

(idk how you see panda gender)

so they were gonna come install the thermostat this morning

first off, they only showed up at 15h30, which is not morning

but now turns out he brought the friggin wrong thermostat

must be

[empty dune]

i linked the wrong thing. that one was the mod, not the mod collection. here's some of the mods from the pack i was downloading, i cant seem to find that specific collection

https://next.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/collections/4wyicq

https://next.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/collections/2c6pxe

anyway, 2 clicks or 4, doesnt matter given i cant even switch browser tabs while its downloading or else it breaks

[unreal ether]

Can't say I ever tried to switch tabs :P

That's scuffed if you can't

[empty dune]

it gets stuck at the exact percentage it was at when i switched tabs

this used to happen back in 2005

[unreal ether]

Yikes

[empty dune]

i dont expect this in freaking 2024

[lofty lark]

They mentioned their fighting game in a later post :D

Beyond live titles, we have projects in the pipeline that we can’t wait to get to you when they’re ready. Project L has been making great progress and we’re looking for more opportunities for you to try out the game

[unreal ether]

Yeah. That's pretty shit

[proud jay]

riot is making a fighting game?

[empty dune]

i tried man, i spent 5-6 hours trying to download that pack

im using edge

[lofty lark]

Yeee. 2d tag fighter

[proud jay]

with all the league heroes I guess?

[lofty lark]

Not all, but some yeah. League of Legends has 163 currently I think

[unreal ether]

the literal worst being? safari?

[empty dune]

safari still exists?

[lofty lark]

2D in the sense of left-right, like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. It's not 3D like Tekken or Soul Calibur

[unreal ether]

no clue 🤣

[empty dune]

[lofty lark]

[empty dune]

i love it already, thanks!!!

[lofty lark]

On a more serious note though, it is an early access game. It is buggy. It's a survival game with monster catching. Take Ark, replace the theme with pokemon, and voila. You kinda got the core loop of Palworld

[cursive crypt]

So, it is mmo?

[lofty lark]

No

I think they have public servers? I play solo.

[cursive crypt]

Didn't you finnished it after so many days btw? 🤔

[lofty lark]

But if survival games, resource gathering, base building, worrying about food and temps, stuff like that are your cup of tea, then I say give it a shot (again, considering it is an early access game). If not, then it ain't your cup of tea 🙂

[cursive crypt]

I kinda liked Conan Exiles for a bit.

[proud jay]

palworld already in trouble with Pokemon copyright

[lofty lark]

Nah, I've played it a little bit every day since it came out. Two hours at a time maybe. And you don't really finish games like this.

They should rename it to Pokeworld, to avoid tension.

[unborn lotus]

I just dont get the appeal of palworld

Sounds just generic

[empty dune]

i will shill that game until the sun burns out

[lofty lark]

I got enough games on my plate to eat my free time. warframe finally released cross-save so I relapsed

[proud jay]

I have a feeling you'll be dead before that

[empty dune]

just a hunch XD

[lofty lark]

and I have the whole dark souls collection waiting to be played... and my campaign in bg3...

[empty dune]

but but.......you can give america free healthcare! and form the caliphate!

and do a hundred other bullshit geo political nonsense

[lofty lark]

So I can constantly be reminded of what I cannot have? That sounds like torture

windus there is india offering on OVHcloud for dediicatad server

[empty dune]

@zinc wagon your country has sided with the aliens 😔

im sorry, its the only way 😔

[summer cedar]

Cool. I went with Hostinger a year ago.
At the moment, it's shared hosting. I don't need a dedicated server... yet.

[summer cedar]

Are they wiped out.... yet?

[zinc matrix]

I just finished Metro LL redux. This game just conceals everything. No HUD, no markers, no missions. IT's purely linear.

[summer cedar]

More importantly, was it a tad creepy?

[empty dune]

no but someone's getting cheeky and building nukes XD

[summer cedar]

Fake news! Blame Bush.

... and nuke 'em anyway.

[soft night]

windus are you going to do similar with all the data you collected?

[zinc matrix]

I got lost in almost all levels in Metro Last Light

even the last level. I couldn't figure it. Didn't know where to shoot at

[summer cedar]

Are you referring to the game I am developing?
If so, I plan on keeping it offline, single-player. I'll probably push database updates of players, their stats, and maybe additional clubs and countries as patches.
I don't want to get into online features and multiplayer; not until I have money to hire some gremlins... er, network programmers / engineers.

[summer cedar]

This sounds very Metro. Did you enjoy it?

[zinc matrix]

I liked the plot, but not the gameplay. Too many interruptions. Cutscene to open a door, to crawl here, to buy ammo and the game doesn't explain its weapons at all

[unreal ether]

what do you mean by explain it's weapons?
I'll admit that I got lost in a few areas in Last Light, but it's weapons were always pretty intuitive.

[zinc matrix]

that high pressurised gun. Does it exist?

[unreal ether]

yeah you're on about the one you need to pump up?

[zinc matrix]

flashlight that you have to recharge with some strange device.

[unreal ether]

i think so

99% sure the game explained the flashlight charging too

the Tihar was quite intuitive, as it gives you a pressure gauge

and lots of auditory cues

yeah

[zinc matrix]

I ran out of ammo multiple times

press and hold a key, like M to display a list of objectives and a compass that I didn't know showed the direction

Rage 2 is the total opposite. Markers, maps, hud. Everything is clear

[unreal ether]

how is that the game's fault 🤔

[zinc matrix]

fighting beasts that don't drop anything

[unreal ether]

I just think maybe it's not the right genre of game for you

The beasts don't make much sense to drop anything.
They're animals, and the game doesn't have mechanism for survival game type things like pelts.

It would be odd if what is essentially a mutated dog dropped ammo, which a lot of RPG's seem to make for some reason

In your eyes what would you want them to drop?

[zinc matrix]

maybe health?

I felt that Metro lacked some more explanations, more than the lack of ammo and the excess of cutscenes

[unreal ether]

Yeah I definitely think this might be a genre issue tbh.
Those sorts of mechanics wouldn't really fit in with the gritty scarce resource, hard to survive world that they aimed to build.
I definitely agree that they lacked immediate explanation for most of the settings in the game.

Most of the backstory you'd only know from the books

the cutscenes make more sense when you realise it's a book adaptation

[zinc matrix]

I got the bad ending even though I choose to spare when the choice was presented and did listen to all dialogues

[subtle hatch]

I checked the PlayStation store today to see if the price for The Last Of Us Part 1 for PS5 has dropped and it still didn't

So today instead I got TLOS part 2 remastered upgrade

[unborn lotus]

Is that also coming to steam?

[cursive crypt]

Is there Remastered Editor's Cut?

[lofty lark]

I just found out my work has a redpanda emoji for our slack

If you make a game with a goofy mechanic such as animal's (humans included) dont forget to follow the golden rule. The law of urination

[mossy nexus]

Don't piss in to the wind.

[errant raven]

No

Piss into the wind only if your enemy is down wind

[mossy nexus]

in that case, just piss down wind. no pint getting your own pee on you

[errant raven]

Dont piss against the wind

[mossy nexus]

#lounge message

indeed

[errant raven]

No pissing into the wind is peeing in the same direction the wind is blowing

Pissing against the wind is peeing into the direction the wind is blowing

Huge diff

[mossy nexus]

methinks not

[errant raven]

Methinks

Methinks?

Tf is that word

[mossy nexus]

face in to the wind and you get your face blown by it. Against and into are the same in this context.

methinks is a great word.

Oh I saw guns in the promotional images

Thought it was a shooter survival with pokemon

Also scrollbars

(not to be confused with monkeybars)

[late solstice]

[fleet tangle]

Yeah.

[trail wedge]

aww was just about to make a joke about those "mysterious keys"

[fleet tangle]

Not always want to scroll a whole page, though! And Up/down cursors aren't always too useful!

As you may have guessed, my scroll wheel is broken.

[late solstice]

they're my capture previous 2 minutes buttons now

[cosmic dove]

Just the scrolling part or also middle-click?

[fleet tangle]

Just the scroling part.

[trail wedge]

I think the most shocking thing I learned here is that you only own 1 mouse

[fleet tangle]

The plastic axle that goes into the scroll mechanicm has snapped in half.

I have more than 1 mouse... they are just in a cupboard. And I'm lazy.

[cosmic dove]

Depending on what you're doing, you can press down on the middle-mouse to activate a thumb-stick like scroll

Mainly in web-browsers

Logitech is da-bomb for quality

[trail wedge]

It used to be much better before all the mergers

[fleet tangle]

Wonder if I have a warranty?

but I mean... I still buy from them

[trail wedge]

you might, I think they're 2 year or 5 year for Logitech mice

don't remember

Damn. Like 3 months out of warranty in the UK.

You can get the paint at 1/3rd the price if you shop 3rd party

[errant raven]

1 die, 2 die, 96 count set, 7 sets of 96 count sets?

[empty dune]

I have no idea tbh, ive never played the tabletop version of 40k

[errant raven]

Do expensive die give better rolls?

[empty dune]

Would be weird if they did

[errant raven]

PVC, polyester, glass, metal, resin, some wanna be pagan girl who doesnt know what paganism really is and goes to renaissance fair dressed as a viking etsy die set she made for 40 cents reselling for 19.99 plus shipping?

Hard to decide what I want my die I'm gonna lose within a few days to be made out of

[empty dune]

asbestos 😛

[errant raven]

Fuck yeah, cancer!

Where the fuck are people getting the idea that you can eat humans in palworld

[rare mauve]

but at least you won't die by fire

[errant raven]

I butchered almost all my humans just to get this so called human meat but havent gotten any

They only drop ammo and palspheres for me 😩

[peak mango]

PVP is going to be interesting. Rumours say that servers trust pretty much everything client does anyway and a client can join server and basically destroy it with cheats already. Just gotta play with friends and assume they would never cheat.

[errant raven]

Why would you need to cheat anyways

The game is easy as fuck

[peak mango]

Because some people like to join official servers and ruin them?

[errant raven]

That's griefing, not cheating

[empty dune]

Thats semantics, not relevant

[errant raven]

Semantics smantics

Where the fuck is the human meat

[empty dune]

Look in a mirror

[errant raven]

They sont drop meat at all

The misinformation being spread is insane

I killed 16 of my 18 humans for no reason..

[peak mango]

Just load that .pdb and spawn some meat in?

[errant raven]

Humans don't drop human meat

Cant spawn in an item that doesnt exist

[empty dune]

Play dayZ if you want human meat in your game so much smh

[peak mango]

Mod that meat in

make a new item

[errant raven]

Who the fuck wants to learn lua

[peak mango]

meat lovers

[empty dune]

Luara does

[errant raven]

Laura knows Japanese. They can practically learn anything.

[empty dune]

I didn't say Laura, i said luara

There's a difference

[peak mango]

Is it true that Palworld was made by high schooler with a 100$ budget during a summer break?

[errant raven]

Oh

I'm dyslexic

Chill

[empty dune]

Im drinking Pepsi after like 3 years, I had forgotten how disgusting it tasted

[errant raven]

RIP

I honestly cant taste the difference between rc coke and pepsi

1gram sugar difference doesnt change much

[brittle holly]

I haven’t had Pepsi or coke in years tbh

And I’m not rly missing them either

[errant raven]

What do you drink

[empty dune]

Same, im regretting breaking that streak

[errant raven]

Sun kist, fanta, mellow yellow, 7up, dr pepper, rc, root beer?

Sprite?

[empty dune]

Cant believe there was a time when id chug coca cola like it was water

[errant raven]

I used to do that, even brushing my teeth, I've gotten cavities from it.

[unborn lotus]

where the water homies

[empty dune]

The follies of youth

[errant raven]

Water is so fucking crisp and delicious when you're just waking up and need a quick hydrate

[brittle holly]

I think watching those things where it showed what cola does to your teeth turned me off to them. Now the only ones I have are sprite or ginger ale and that’s rare

[empty dune]

Perfect temperature water> every other soft drink

[empty dune]

I have sprite sometimes, its good

[brittle holly]

Oh and I have soda stream daily, cause it doesn’t matter what temp it’s at

[errant raven]

What's the right temp for water

[empty dune]

What's a soda stream

[brittle holly]

Basically sparkling water you make at home with a thingy

[empty dune]

Cool enough to feel good but not so cold that it fucking gives you a brain freeze

[brittle holly]

You use tap water, carbonate it and you’re good to go

[errant raven]

I've never experienced a brain freeze, partly because I dont have a brain

[empty dune]

There's something weirdly refreshing about water cooled in clay pots

[brittle holly]

Can’t say I’ve tried it

[empty dune]

Oh btw @timber viper have you seen the TI ship building mechanics?

Its so detailed and mathy

I still haven't figured it out properly

[errant raven]

Dust

I'm not gonna buy dice

I'm gonna make a mold for them, and buy resin. I'll make unlimited amounts of my own.

[empty dune]

Oh

Oh no
Im too scared to click

[errant raven]

Click it

[empty dune]

That's it, im digging up my old windows phone

[errant raven]

Why do we need chatgpt preinstalled tho

Just more bloatware

[celest musk]

right

100% of people have a calculator preinstalled

and still can't do math

[errant raven]

I'm too used to doing math in python that I just made my own calculator that only uses pythons way

🗿

[celest musk]

exceptions?

[errant raven]

What about exceptions

[celest musk]

they aren't real

[zinc wagon]

I find the quite offensive as I'm super womenly

[cursive crypt]

$20+/month?

Using a smartphone should be a service.

[errant raven]

Ok ubisoft, settle down now.

[empty dune]

Why are we taking PR statements from an LLM?

[errant raven]

White

[celest musk]

finally i can deal with some people, because AI will talk for them

[cursive crypt]

No, pay.

[errant raven]

Never

Pirates life for me

[cursive crypt]

Interesting how these llm are stretching sentences without saying anything really.

[celest musk]

they learned a lot from reddit posts

[empty dune]

It was for the greater good😔

[empty dune]

Ikr? And Forbes took a PR statement from that

[errant raven]

I'm glad I use cheap $120 dollar smartphones. Dont come with nothing fancy I realistically dont need or care about, and they're very replaceable. ||very easy to jailbreak as well|| 🤓🤓

[zinc wagon]

I'm gonna make sure the first I do is to nuke India
And I don't like Gandhi btw >:(

[cursive crypt]

There is some coherent emotion in them at least.

[errant raven]

Why dont you like gandhi

[empty dune]

Nobody in india likes gandhi, dude was quite problematic xD

[zinc wagon]

Because raindust bombed my country. So it only makes sense to hate him

[zinc wagon]

Oh...I like him actually

Great guy

[errant raven]

You should be bombing france

[empty dune]

If it gets you to play TI, worrrrth iiiiiit

[zinc wagon]

I was gonna play it anyway...

[empty dune]

Oops

[zinc wagon]

You could've fixed the country's internet, that would've made me play earlier...but you bombed

Now I need to go through fallout first

[errant raven]

Just, bomb france.

[empty dune]

If it makes you feel better, India is now under servant control so it's next on the freedom treatment list

[zinc wagon]

^ Yeah that should fix mine (and everyone's) issue. Bonus point of you bomb The US too

[errant raven]

Hey now, dont go bombing my country

[empty dune]

Cant bomb us, im trying to take it so I can drive up corruption

[errant raven]

If you do, start with California, and only California

[zinc wagon]

Deal 🤝

[zinc wagon]

Isn't it through the roof already?

[errant raven]

Just, and I cant stress this enough, JUST California.

[empty dune]

Its at 39% right now

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[errant raven]

And I guess it's okay to nuke Chicago and other densely populated cities with high gang violence

Oh, bomb all the Yankees, it's time the south rises again

Yee yee

[zinc wagon]

Isn't representative of real life. Game ruined 😞

[empty dune]

That's where I come in 😂

(corruption is an actual stat in the game btw)

[zinc wagon]

It might be good to just say what states we shouldn't bomb instead at this point lol

[errant raven]

Any of the states that were apart of the confederacy

[zinc wagon]

Of course it is lol

[errant raven]

Those shallnt be bombed

The rest can go to hell

[empty dune]

Why are you sending them to France?

[errant raven]

They belong there

[zinc wagon]

Too that's too cruel tho

No human should ever experience being in France

[empty dune]

Not even Americans

[zinc wagon]

What about England?

[errant raven]

Yankees should, and do need to be there

Especially Californians

[empty dune]

Im open for discussion on that front

Oh here's something funny, in TI you can reunify Ireland with UK

[zinc wagon]

You know what? Yeah maybe Californians should be in France. No place should have this high living expenses

[errant raven]

Reunify ireland with uk?

Brother you have it backwards

Its reunify ireland with ireland
