Let's see about the wolves:

Size of Large Wolf Subspecies

• Northwestern Wolf: This is considered the largest wolf subspecies. Males typically weigh between 79 and 159 pounds (36 to 72 kg), with some exceptionally large individuals reaching up to 175 pounds (79.4 kg). They can reach lengths of up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) and stand almost 36 inches (91 cm) tall at the shoulder.

• Interior Alaskan Wolf: Also known as the Yukon wolf, males can weigh between 71 and 130 pounds (32 to 59 kg), with some mature males reaching up to 179 pounds (81 kg). They stand about 33.5 inches (85 cm) tall.

• Eurasian Wolf: While not as large as the Northwestern or Interior Alaskan wolves, Eurasian wolves can weigh between 71 and 176 pounds (32 to 80 kg).

Interior wolf is weird ngl

[summer cedar]

Ok. Synthetic Goof?

[soft night]

lots of archelogy work needed for sure this style as get the genepool fully as for whooly mamoth on one documentary was said there might be years of work for get more genetic samples from mammoth bones

[summer cedar]

OR, they throw any and every gene into the grinder and see what comes out.

Mammothus Tuskus
Mammothus Richus
Mammothus Poorus
Short Mammotha
Fat Mammotha

The outcomes may be innumerable.

the good thing about this gene editing stuff is that we can finally build factories anywhere without endangering a rare squirrel species

[summer cedar]

What you're saying is, we can finally eat as many squirrel burgers as we want.

[celest musk]

i hate what you did there...

i wonder if their nut based diet influences the taste of their meat

[summer cedar]

I apologise.
I didn't mean just squirrels.

You have led us to the viability of ALL SPECIES diet.

[proud jay]

human diet?

[summer cedar]

Technically, that's viable too, since we can always bring the humans back.

Well, the leftover zombies can bring the humans back.

So wait, the pause on tariffs did not apply to Canada, too?

[proud jay]

yeah that was me

[summer cedar]

Share your billions please.

[summer cedar]

The bread will be poisoned by the curses of poor pensioners.

Ah, so Canada AND Mexico tariffs are still in place, along with China.

[proud jay]

[summer cedar]

I bet the White House itself has no idea what is and isn't in place. They're updating us when THEY find out. 😛

[fluid bloom]

imagine the customs workers

timo_soini.gif

https://media.tenor.com/Ky8WsPFuGI8AAAAM/timo-soini-which-way.gif

[summer cedar]

Gets weirder. Two hours ago, the White House found out the tariff on China is now 145%, not 125%.

Look, Ma! I found this file under this drawer. OOO! It says we put another 20% on another country. W00t?!

[summer cedar]

The customs officials are probably using 8-balls at this point.

"Holy ball blessed by the God Emperor of Man, tell us! Should we charge any tariffs on this pair of underwear?"

[proud jay]

I thought it was 104 lol what

[summer cedar]

You can check the details on CNBC. The White House figured out that the president and his cronies fiddled with some minor exemptions to China, and something else, to raise the rate first to 125 and now to 145.

[proud jay]

[proud jay]

are you just watching kimmel the whole day?

[summer cedar]

Can't. His monologue is only 20 mins long.

And no, the black dude's rap is quite old, maybe by a month or so.

tbh thats a lot of work

[summer cedar]

otherwise, opportunities are wasted.

I hate when I but windows to sleep just to wake it up and see it has restarted on its own for some bullshit update.

[errant raven]

[white oxide]

atm im really waiting on my disabilty checks to finally clear

gonna have a huge chunk of cash to get all the things i really need in the house

like pots, pans, and such

bedframe

new office chair

cause the old one was not built for a big and tall

the first time i leaned back in it, i nearly snapped it off the gas piston

[summer cedar]

are you in DOGE's good books?

did you post anything sad about Elon recently?

[white oxide]

lol

im decidedly apolitical

im only interested really in local small town politics cause they are what really affect me

[summer cedar]

You do not worship at the sacred altar of DOGE?

Cheques cancelled.

[white oxide]

also, cant really legally vote...

[summer cedar]

why? You are American, no?

[white oxide]

yes, but mayhaps beaten someone and gotten in trouble for it

they absolutely deserved the beating

[summer cedar]

Oh, I see.

Yeah, that.

[white oxide]

but the courts didnt exactly agree

dont touch my wife man, not unless you want chunks of your nose driven into your brain

[summer cedar]

urf....

[white oxide]

im 6'4 (193cm for you backwards folk), and if i hit something its gonna get damaged

[summer cedar]

Still, they shouldn't take your right to vote away.

[white oxide]

felons cant legally vote

[summer cedar]

I think this was a topic of debate before Capt. Orange's current regime.

[white oxide]

felony assault

[summer cedar]

Yeah.

[white oxide]

put a guy in the ICU with 2 punches

im the ONLY one who can touch my wife's ass

[summer cedar]

Well, if he put his hand on your wife, totally legit.

[white oxide]

wheni was taking apart an old play structure, it had wood slat roofing, and i found it easier to just punch the slats out than hit them with a hammer

[summer cedar]

Now, THAT is a felony.

Every hammer deserves its time.

[white oxide]

one of these

[summer cedar]

You took that away.

Go to jail.

[white oxide]

we wanted to redo the roof cause old

the hammer took 2-3 hits to knock it out

fist took 1

winds up
WHAMM

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but violating a hammer's rights is a Class N felony. The nails are offended.

[white oxide]

😂

tbh i kinda wish i had gone to jury trial

who would convict a man defending his wife's honor in a bar

[white oxide]

can i use loopnet?

fuck 100m? ill take that straight up

theres a TON of ways to turn that into several billion

[proud jay]

what counts as spending

is buying stocks spending?

[white oxide]

does buying entire companies count?

or land

[proud jay]

or gifting it to your wife

[white oxide]

thats gifting

[proud jay]

ok I'll buy a cookie of her for 100 million

I'm willing to take the income tax hit to get the one billion

[summer cedar]

Within the rules.

[white oxide]

pretty sure thats considered throwing it away

[summer cedar]

Plus no AWS. 😄

[white oxide]

tbh 100m? id buy like 1k acres, build me a nice decent sized house, and setup a small compound around it for friends, turn it into family land to get that nice large family everyone wants

also, does it need to be 100,000,000.00 ot can it be like "i got 999,999,957.38 worth of stuff"

like hitting an EXACT cost amount, is pretty damned hard

[celest musk]

just buy a few 5090s and you are done quick

[pale scarab]

[summer cedar]

People were saying the same thing about CoPilot using your data, but all MS customers have the ability to turn data sharing off.

It'll be the same with Recall.

This is just neanderthals screaming the sky is falling. 😄

No professional user will accept their data being shared/recorded, because contracts, privacy requirements, etc. So, there'll be uninstall/disabling/opt-out options.

[dusky shuttle]

see Adobe

[mild gust]

Theres plenty of adobe alternatives now

Curiously

[white oxide]

tbh

[summer cedar]

And what about Adobe?

[white oxide]

if your caring about your data as an end user, just dont use anything premade

[summer cedar]

Their dubious trial-sub practices aside, the program itself doesn't steal your data.

[cursive crypt]

Which one is now better?

[white oxide]

EVERYTHING steals your data

[mild gust]

steam os ofc

[white oxide]

[cursive crypt]

uum

[mild gust]

Just to look at

[cursive crypt]

Valid reason, ngl.

[summer cedar]

You know, I love the Big Theatre mode in Steam.

I don't know if it still exists, but I adored the futuristic hologram style look.

The problem with Steam is of course, the same as many indie devs.

Half-baked stuff. 😄

[mild gust]

It does on steam os

[white oxide]

i like it too, but fcking HATE that you cant hide the button that triggers it

[mild gust]

Also think if you have a controller hooked up to pc?

[summer cedar]

Yeah, the last time I used it, it wasn't convenient.

[mild gust]

It can engage big screen

[white oxide]

like i accidentally hit that stupid button at LEAST 2 times a week and it pisses me off

[summer cedar]

There were several things where I said, "Uh, they could've done this better."

But then again, it's just their style. 😄

[mild gust]

Yeah on windows it sucks tbh

It's better on linux

[white oxide]

mainly because it messes with my secondary monitors and takes forever to kill it

[mild gust]

Feels slow on windows

Likely due to windows bloat

[summer cedar]

Anyyhooo, just make sure your products are trademarked and copyrighted, before you release them in the market. 🙂

You'll be fine from AI stealing stuff. 😄

For that, Step 1 - Rob a bank.

[white oxide]

and make sure some canadian hasnt already trademarked it

[summer cedar]

indeed.

[white oxide]

and be beyond annoying with DMCA towards any big company close to infringing on you

[summer cedar]

That's why you rob a bank first.

[summer cedar]

Thanks, CoPilot for telling me about this gem.

Check it out on Google - Trademark Madrid Protocol.

You don't need to file trademarks in several countries. You can file one in your own country and then file one through the MP.

For international validity.

Canada is included. 😄

only after 12pm

but yeah, cant wait for the SS check to clear

I'm A) trying to set a scale/grid size for my proc map gen in my driving game, and B) Trying to figure out how to get my map gen to work with world partition (world will be large so I dont want trees/rocks etc spawning really far away

[summer cedar]

There is no try; only do.

[cursive crypt]

What about these endless runner and co. games?

[soft night]

https://youtu.be/UCc9NxAEVys?si=h9zeTFnSe4qB1iOf

[cursive crypt]

I recall some driving games templates on the MP. Similar to these endless runners.

[tulip orbit]

hm?

[cursive crypt]

They gen shit around, isnt' that what you need?

[tulip orbit]

which games are you talking about? I've not seen them.... And I cant afford to buy any MP products to see how they work

[cursive crypt]

Like these: https://youtu.be/jM2PNF4IK60

But on other hand, if you want to use world partition so much, maybe just start use it? It auto loads/unloads things outside a perimeter. Kinda.

[tulip orbit]

think of it more like I'm generating a large maze, not just an endless runner.

on level start I'm placing the world, details, enemy spawners, doors, etc.... which has been fine in a much smaller first person world. But now with the driving game I'm thinking it'll be much much larger

and now while trying to test the code has decided to crash on me and I have to figure out why before I can continue scale testing 😦

[cursive crypt]

mm... I got the impression it is about how to load/unload stuff not how is the stuff layed out.

[tulip orbit]

I dont know how to properly explain my issue I think. or possibly I'm thinking about it wrong to begin with. Maps, with my current thinking, will have grid cells of 1km, and possibly be 40x40 cells large.... which means the stuff on the other side of the map shouldnt be loaded. It'd be nice if I could use world partition to handle it, but thats not gonna happen with the way it is currently setup

[errant raven]

I gave up, just too many cheaters on online chess

Playing on a new account fuckin sucks. Gotta lose to other new accounts that are cheating (instant, top engine accurate moves) and now you're only 1200 and still dont have a good reference for your actual elo to start as

Bots and engines like to force you into a passive/defensive position, then set up a bunch of sneaky tactics to win pieces

Which is my playstyle, and Garry Kasparov's playstyle too. Only difference is, humans still take a little time to calculate while engines are quick enough to make a move without losing a millisecond of time.

Which I've played against several on lichess, and a lot on chess.com.

Can someone who's smarter than me tell me how to use this? https://github.com/peterthehan/runescape-text
The getting started is very short and I have zero clue what it means or where/how to run the command

I just want to make a funny runescape text gif, but all my searches have found nothing but that

[unreal ether]

install node.js and npm, the npm website has some information on that, but if you're on windows you'll want something like this https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases

once you have a version of npm (node package manager) installed, run the npm i runescape-text command.

it will install that package, but on windows it will probably error out. https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/Installation:-Windows <- follow this if it does, then rerun the command.

Once it is installed, you can run npx runescape-text "glow3:wave:hello world" to generate the example text, or replace the thing in speech marks to be whatever text you want

[cursive crypt]

8min trailer... a bit too abstract imo

[errant raven]

Why cant I play against people on any chess site

Jesus fucking christ man, it's always brand new accounts playing perfectly

Who has this much time to keep making accounts on chess sites just to cheat? You dont even get anything for winning.

ANOTHER ONE

WHY ME

I just wanna play a simple fucking game

[zinc wagon]

yeah man that sucks...||skill issue||

[errant raven]

It doesnt end

New account after new account after new bloody fuckin account

Where are the humans at

I'll just play otb and get an actual rating

[errant raven]

And yeah skill issue, my bad for not being able to beat something even Magnus Carlson and Hikaru admitted he couldn't beat. I'll try harder to beat the unbeatable

Tell me that shit when you get more elo than me

[zinc wagon]

what's your elo?

[errant raven]

What's yours?

[zinc wagon]

last i checked it was 1200

but it was a year ago i probably got worst by now 😅

[errant raven]

1274 eat my ass

[zinc wagon]

but i have to say i dont recall encountering so many bots

i would say like maybe few dozen at most

[signal sand]

What time on Monday is the cutoff for the Epic MegaGrant? Sunday at 12pm in North Carolina? Or can we submit during the day Monday? Our team is sweating to know.

[errant raven]

I played a lot of this one chess game, which was nothing but bots. Pretty easy to find them

You'll notice patterns

[zinc wagon]

maybe because it's night time now in most of europe and asia so you're encountering more bots

not sure what time it is now in the americas

[errant raven]

I'm in the states

But it is global matchmaking

I'll never get that North Korea badge on chess.com

Unless I play kim jong

If I beat him I'll probably get a missile at my doorstep

Like what is that bro

Who plays 99 games in one day

[zinc wagon]

a person with pure dedication and sheer will :P

[errant raven]

They out here spending 6-9 hours on chess in a day like its paying them

Assuming each game was 4-6 minutes, since its rapid 10 minutes.

I could just look at the games time stamps

14 hours of playtime, but it's a few months old

Not a cheater, probably just a account someone uses to practice new openings

[primal summit]

That's rather short-sighted. Bot up an account, sell it to people who want to look better than they are or vault past the bot hell, paycheck=win.

[errant raven]

And then you lose all that elo and money

If you dont play in a certain amount of time you get the ? By your elo and lose a lot

[primal summit]

sucks to suck, buy and try again

the RMT market is huge for a reason

it's a market that makes it's own customers, it's awful but it's a thing

[errant raven]

I dont see that happening

For valorant, cs, overwatch and stuff like that yeah

But anything using a chess engine gets banned on lichess and chess.com pretty quickly

Even if they dont get reported

https://funpay.com/en/lots/1453/

Yeah none of those sellers look legit

Ones using ai artwork which means they're using ai to build up those accounts. Probably even banned already

[white oxide]

well, i finally installed my new home speakers.

house paint is done

[tulip orbit]

Was wondering when youd get those speakers installed 🤔

10000 watts? Loud enough to blow a girls clothes off?

https://tenor.com/view/blown-away-back-to-the-gif-15616199

[white oxide]

lol no

more like 320w

actually pretty good sound

almost dont need audio in the rest of the house

almost

i do want it on the porch

[tulip orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/foodmasku-food-mask-foodmascu-delectables-delectables-nft-gif-25694107

[white oxide]

so might be worth getting an amp and the matching speaker for one i already have outside

instead of the whole home system

[tulip orbit]

320w? My stereo says 1000w i think...

hm. Thought it did... found the manual for one and it says 167w per channel

[white oxide]

yeah

and then theres a total max

usually 2 full channels

[tulip orbit]

I dont even remember which system is currently setup... coulda sworn the one I had at one point was 1000w total

but, now that I'm in an apartment the point is completly useless. 😦

[white oxide]

lol

i do however need to rent a trencher

for my fiber cable

i went out today trying to hand trench...

fck that

[tulip orbit]

just run it along the ground

[white oxide]

yeah... lawn mower shreds the internet connection

[tulip orbit]

cut the lawn with scissors and you'll be fine

[white oxide]

[tulip orbit]

or a scythe

man, I should goto bed. before I hurt myself

hopefully I actually sleep tonight

[white oxide]

so yeah, i have to save up, prep, and then rent the trencher, trench as fast as possible, then bring it back

getting it, trenching, and returning all has to be done in like a 4 hour period

[tulip orbit]

depending on the length of the trench, should be doable. Dunno if they have a CallBeforeYouDig thing in your country, but it'd be a good idea to make sure you know theres nothing in the way

g'luck and g'night

[white oxide]

oh i already know there everything is

we found it all building the house

for $30 more i can rent it for 24 hours

tbh might be worth it just for the peace of mind

[errant raven]

Suck it nerd. I finally gained some elo today

It may be 3, but it's still a positive gain

[white oxide]

so, now to find an amp for the outside speakers

cause the indoor speakers are powerful enough you dont need per room sounding

so i can save like $600 on a home audio system

but still need SOMETHING to manage the porch speakers

[errant raven]

Better yet.

[white oxide]

now i gotta make like $50 as fast as possible

[errant raven]

Wear sexy laundry ray and stand on a street corner

Yeah bro, def gave it away for free making it a blunder

Not like if they take it I dont have checkmate right after or anything

Because of the pawn, I see. G2 wouldve been better.

[rare sparrow]

Now, how do I make it multi-line?

[rare sparrow]

This seems to be the same thing used to make the gif which got me looking for it in the first place. That gif was multi-line though, so there's got to be a way to make this multi-line. If I just make a long message it stays a single line and cuts off anytihng past a certain number of characters

Oh yeah, even one of the example gifs is multi-line

[rare sparrow]

But it doesn't include what the command was to make it, so I don't know how to make one multi-line

Not much there to not understand

[mild gust]

That lesbians are part of lgbtq?

[errant raven]

Not all of them

[mild gust]

Literally take the L

[errant raven]

LGBTQ is a group

A community

[mild gust]

Yes and they also often find criticisms as a group connected to said community or not.

Whats your point.

[errant raven]

Theres a lot of gay people who dont want anything to do with that group.

[mild gust]

and many who do

There's also many straight people who want to support proud boys or maga but yet

Here we are

[errant raven]

And theres a huge difference between the ones who do and the ones who dont

[mild gust]

and many others whom don't

So what does that matter

What did that community do to you

Take away your job?

Hurt your well being

Question your sexuality?

[errant raven]

Huh?

You seem offended

[mild gust]

Na

[errant raven]

Not a Bernie, biden, or Harris supporter either

[mild gust]

By sams logic anything on internet is free game

So can go download entire games train an ai on it and bam release game trained on ai data. #profit

If you can't train on images, other people will and you lose. It's that simple.

[tulip orbit]

Well Fab just crashes the whole goddamn editor when i try to goto the settings. Not really paying attention I previously moved the cache to my F drive instead of the default appdata thing, but now its dumping the temp(??) files in the main folder

and crashing so i cant change it back

[mild gust]

Can't you just change the vault cache back in ue launcher?

[tulip orbit]

seems to be a different cache. I did change it there after, and its saving files there, but theres temp files now saving on my f drive named like {k34384n34n23 - 34kj3k43h34 - 3k4h34h} etc...

ok nm. it created a vault cache folder, but nothing there

but also noticed that all the quixel mats I wanted to use say in fab "Not available for use within Unreal Engine"" I dunno why, but probably means I cant use 'em anymore for some reason

[mild gust]

Wot 😮

[tulip orbit]

I dunno what it actually means, cause they were all grabbed via the quixel launcher pre-fab, and are in my library

[mild gust]

Which materials?

[tulip orbit]

but the mats also dont have heightmap data, which makes part of the landscape auto mat I have not work

[mild gust]

Just any you try or

[tulip orbit]

the quixel megascans materials, I just looked at a few of the ground rubble, gravel/ stone mats

was trying to find new mats for the landscape to try and get it closer to how I want my world to look

googling these issues dont provide me with any kind of useful information

frustrated to the point of thinking about switching engines or just giving up entirely

either way, I'm going to take a break and do something else

[errant raven]

Meanwhile artists using photos photographers took, as a reference. Much like what ai does. And its totally finnnnne

[mild gust]

Maybe try a reinstall? I was able to install Metal Panels Facade material by Quixel

Or verify files

[tulip orbit]

I was able to install the mats to my project no problem. But want to fix the stupid vault cache thing

[fleet tangle]

Oh I agree. But I'm not a lawmaker.

[errant raven]

Dont forget about fanfiction, rule 34, or other forms of art that's just a copy righted character drawn by a nobody

All copyrighted stuff people make their own and sell for a profit

[mild gust]

Delete old cache then try after verify to relocate again? Unless you already did that.

[tulip orbit]

the issue isnt my project, its the fab engine plugin, how to I verify? verify the engine?

Bungie finally made a game that wasnt halo?

And destiny

[mild gust]

They made a game way before halo what you mean

Marathon was one of their og babies

Best part is all of their "OG" universes were all tied together

Till they abandoned Halo

Then they abandoned their universe

[pearl elk]

Marathon is just Destiny with worse graphics 😛

[mild gust]

It was made 20+ years ago though 😮

[pearl elk]

I was talking about the new one

they musta seen the earlier Halo Infinite trailers with the bland looking textures and gone "oh we should do that too"

even Bungies logo got the same treatment

[mild gust]

Oh yeah the extraction shooter

[pearl elk]

I'll pl;ay Marathong instead

[regal pecan]

It's neat seeing the Marathon references in Marathon, but it still look like someone copied Apex Legends into a more mediocre game.

[pearl elk]

Im honestly still not entirely sure what the gameplay is even after watching the trailer, must be the same ole

[regal pecan]

There's another trailer featuring the influencers they invited playing the beta. You see plenty of gameplay there.

[pearl elk]

its just an extraction shooter though right, Im not seeing the hook

or is from the makers of Halo and Destiny the hook

[regal pecan]

Some people like extraction shooters. Part of it may be that they have friends.

[pearl elk]

and enemies obviously

[regal pecan]

Anyone who enjoys a game where the gimmick is to run around ganking other players' loot probably doesn't have enough enemies.

[pearl elk]

Im just wondering who their audience is meant to be, arnt there plenty of extraction shooters so this one is meant to replace one of those

thats how these games work right, cuz theres a critical mass of players so you have to attract them from something else

[regal pecan]

Maybe Destiny's pvp modes are falling off a cliff, so their plan is to steal players from their own game.

[pearl elk]

I dont think theyre gonna be stealing Marvel Rivals players

[regal pecan]

I should take a moment to look up marvel rivals

What is this? A moba?

[pearl elk]

its the game that ate what was left of Overwatchs players

Ive tried to like extraction games but I guess Im just not a fan, its not so bad when its PvE but PvPvE is frustrating mostly

[regal pecan]

I'm finding it hard to believe rivals has a playerbase.

[pearl elk]

https://steamdb.info/app/2767030/charts/

I guess brand recognition goes a long way

there was one extraction shooter I liked, it was from way back called Carnivores

you would hunt dinousaurs then extract with your trophy

[regal pecan]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're rewarding influencers to play it.

[pearl elk]

influencing influencers, well I never

[regal pecan]

The secret trick to success is to buy it.

[pearl elk]

monoplitocracy

but I do miss my trophy room from Carnivores, I had some big suckers

I think I valued that stuff because I actually had to hunt them down, it felt like a real trophy not just a pokie machine coin

"Mankind has progressed to a point in its dim-witted history where life has been drained of all of its enchantment."

[unborn lotus]

Lets say you want to hide complete floors or roofs in an isometric game to explore buildings. Best way to do it?

[pearl elk]

An easy way would be volumes on the doorways/stairwells/etc which trigger hiding/unhiding

[unborn lotus]

hmm but how to separate/pick what is to be hidden?

Could be hundreds of objects

[pearl elk]

put them in volumes too

you'll probably need a shader either way but selecting the right objects to hide is the real trick

is it fixed isometric?

because if the camera doesnt rotate only pans you have a fixed set

[unborn lotus]

No, 3d topdown and camera rotates 360

I could put them in volumes

Basically only need to layer the buildings, either hide all the roof parts

Or the floors, as the player climbs the stairs

[pearl elk]

yeah its usually roof/floor and whichever walls are closest to camera

[unborn lotus]

A trigger is fine but im not sure how to group everything to be hidden

Gonna try a volume

[pearl elk]

group them by floor, G(0), 1, 2 depending on how tall the buildings are then you know which floor the player is currently on via the entry/exit triggers

perhaps you can add a fade in for fancy pants once its going, so your transition from G to 1 up stairs would look smoother

take the length of the transition volume and multiply it by fade

https://tenor.com/view/guy-long-hair-mustache-magic-shia-labeouf-gif-17741293

[errant raven]

Is that sam witwicky

[unborn lotus]

Thats good

But dont you need dynamic materials for all the objects in the volume?

[pearl elk]

You might be able to use post process, put the different groups into each channel. Dynamic material sounds right, material function in the master material with an input

[proud jay]

it's shia labeouf on SNL

try living on $800 a month

my cup of coffee costs like 3 or 4 cents probably

[summer cedar]

Don't touch plants.

Could be poison ivy.

make a shiv out of some rock, kill the driver, and steal their stuff

If you are hitch-hiking in Australia, flag a kangaroo down.

Either hop with it, or let it kick you to Sidney.

Start by using Google translate to learn all the insults in Mandarin. Don't bother understanding the language. Just learn it like a musical instrument. Yell at people with random phrases.

In a few days, you'll start picking it up naturally. 😄

[split prairie]

[summer cedar]

No. Are you drinking cheap coffee?

[split prairie]

stop exposing me like that!

[white oxide]

jury is out on some here being a bot

[summer cedar]

Exposure is important for good lighting.

💡

[split prairie]

just wondered because your name is green with a fancy icon in it

[summer cedar]

It means I am rich.

....and the server's patreon member.

[split prairie]

ew

[summer cedar]

One of those is important.

[white oxide]

[summer cedar]

What's with this 'they' thing?

Silence cheap coffee preferrer!

[split prairie]

[summer cedar]

wonders if preferrer is an actual word

No.

What?

[proud jay]

you just did

[summer cedar]

👀 PREFERRER is an actual word.

[white oxide]

spend enough time in communities and you default to THEY so you stop getting doxxed by blue haired brats

[split prairie]

its a personal question where i need help with and you people seem responsible enough for answering it

[summer cedar]

We aren't responsible.

[pearl elk]

I love preferrer rolls

[summer cedar]

Ask at your own risk.

[split prairie]

liar

[summer cedar]

Get insurance first.

[white oxide]

we really arent

[split prairie]

nawww, you are

[proud jay]

hitch hike all the way to france, they're required to give you free water by law

[summer cedar]

The dude buying turrets and guns with .45 bullets for kids, is worried about blue birds?

Sus. Extremely sus.

[errant raven]

No that's sam witwicky

[proud jay]

"can I ask you something?" is a question and you asked it

[white oxide]

bullets?

[proud jay]

it's an actor

[pearl elk]

bullet guns

[white oxide]

gel beads are not bullets, they barely hurt

[summer cedar]

I did say .45.

But don't diverge from the point. You aren't afraid of blue birds.

[pearl elk]

that always bugged me about UE, you know

[proud jay]

are .45 bullets only meant to shoot 45?

[pearl elk]

it should be AnActor not AActor

[split prairie]

so I had to take a break from ue for a 2 weeks. moved in a new apartment. now i am sitting on my laptop in the new room. all the old cues that made me work on my project.. gone. I think I might quit, even tho i came so far

normal?

[errant raven]

His actor role is shia LaBeouf

[split prairie]

or should i go to psych ward

[summer cedar]

It's normal.

Adjustment takes time.

[proud jay]

see, the A stands for Actor so it's actually ActorActor

[summer cedar]

Or drugs and force.

[errant raven]

Government plot to hide that transformers are real

[split prairie]

can you recommend some

i got coffee

[summer cedar]

You can help yourself by focusing on readying your room for a designer.

See if you have the right decor.

Check the lighting to see if it helps your eyes.

[split prairie]

i already spatially designed my room by the principles of neuroscience

[summer cedar]

Make sure at least one wall is painted a different colour.

[proud jay]

love

[summer cedar]

It helps your brain avoid depression.

[split prairie]

i hate colors

they make me vomit

[summer cedar]

That's okay.

[proud jay]

oh

[summer cedar]

Vomit is also decor.

[mild gust]

Good use beige

[split prairie]

i stare at a blank wall for reduced cognitive load

[proud jay]

depressed by birth I see

[summer cedar]

😄

[pearl elk]

girt by sea

[split prairie]

is this in a pill or?

[summer cedar]

But, you get my point. Get your room ready. Then, go for a long walk in a horror house to empty your mind (or a park).

[split prairie]

in ue or in real?

[summer cedar]

real life of course.

If you have a deep dive VR set, you can use that.

[proud jay]

stop overloading your brain with constant stimulation

[split prairie]

but what if you get addicted to exploring horror houses and avoid ue after that even more?

[pearl elk]

[summer cedar]

Try to remember the sheer terror with which you used to develop your former project (or mindset, same word really) while you walk. Come back to the house once you do and maybe, work (or sleep).

[split prairie]

thanks i think this was it. when i didnt have my pc up i started with.. doomscrolling again.

maybe thats the motivation killer right there

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-eternal-doomguy-doom-slayer-doom-guy-shotgun-gif-27413588

[proud jay]

it really is

[split prairie]

terror??

[proud jay]

cause your brain gets the micro dose of dopamine from doing nothing but scrolling

making you not want to do other things

[split prairie]

you feel terror when developing your projects?

yes dieter.. how could i forget that

[summer cedar]

I try to curse my enemies with terror, yes.

[split prairie]

so profound

[proud jay]

Windus lives in constant terror that he might run out of bread

[summer cedar]

Also, fair. ^

[split prairie]

seems like a blessing

[summer cedar]

Well, that's all the advice you'll get.

Please pay $500 in fees.

[split prairie]

i only can give a handshake and maybe a french kiss

[summer cedar]

So you do drink cheap coffee.

sad noises

[split prairie]

boycott nestle

i dont have a coffee machine, who does?

[mild gust]

Rich people

[split prairie]

but a coffee machine cost like 20 dollars

:(

[summer cedar]

I thought about buying one, but it takes me literally two minutes to brew a cup myself.

So, no.

[split prairie]

how so?

it takes 2 minutes for me to get the water cooker cooking the water

[pearl elk]

you must live in one of those rich countries

[summer cedar]

Hot water's stored in a thermos.

[split prairie]

thats.. wait
