maybe 50k is a fair price for that

mild gust
summer cedar
#

Probably what Ambulance did.

#

So.... 🤷‍♂️

#

Our drone interceptors are world class now.

stable gull
#

that's why people diversify portfolio
I have learnt that recently

stable gull
summer cedar
#

We achieved 100% interception, allegedly.

stable gull
#

hmm
Without enough wars, I wonder how battle tested modern weapons are

unborn lotus
stable gull
#

one policy change or update and it can plummet under the earth

summer cedar
#

It's one of the reasons m00rica is worried about China.

#

I am more worried about all the platforms S.Korea has been selling to Europe.

#

Poland basically recycled all their old hardware for K-platforms.

#

S.K. made a killing - $40 billion dollars or more - in one year.

#

BUT, whether that stuff is actually battle-worthy..... uh... 🤷‍♂️

mild gust
summer cedar
#

which is understandable, given how obsolete school is.

mild gust
#

Well

stable gull
mild gust
#

They aren't investing in anything worth a damn

summer cedar
mild gust
#

They are basically buying NFTs

stable gull
#

they are basically gambling

summer cedar
mild gust
#

Well

#

Stocks can be considered gambling

summer cedar
#

No, my dear.

#

Options, Futures, and Derivatives are gambling.

mild gust
#

Buying gold and holding onto it

#

Can be a gamble

summer cedar
#

Stocks are researched investments.

mild gust
#

What if it drops tomorrow

summer cedar
#

also, no, my dear.

stable gull
#

It is mostly gambling, just that you try to make sense of the randomness, and pray the casino isn't rigged

mild gust
#

Lol

summer cedar
#

Gold is a long-term investment.

#

Anyone who speculates in gold is stupid.

#

Or any other precious metal.

#

Unless you have insider info.

mild gust
#

All I'm saying is gold doesn't always go up.

summer cedar
#

However, people go into options, futures, and derivatives, because that's what YT tells them to do.

#

B'cuz you can GET RICH KWICK!!!!

summer cedar
mild gust
#

1970s it dropped

summer cedar
#

That's why Indians always have gold investments.

stable gull
#

The fastest way to get rich is probably not made public knowledge, ever

mild gust
#

1980s it dropped

summer cedar
#

I myself have made 3 times my invested money right now.

mild gust
#

2000's it dropped

#

It went back up

#

But still

summer cedar
#

Very generalised statement - it dropped.

#

You have to look at the XIRR.

mild gust
#

It had dips

summer cedar
#

You never sell gold in 5 years.

mild gust
#

there you happy

summer cedar
#

You keep it for 50.

stable gull
#

it goes up in the long run

summer cedar
#

AND, here's the important bit.

stable gull
#

because it's a useful metal i guess

summer cedar
#

NEVER buy jewellery for investment.

mild gust
#

Buy when it dips

#

Then hold

#

Smh

summer cedar
#

Because modified metals lose value.

mild gust
#

Alloys are booty

stable gull
summer cedar
#

Gold is a steady investment.

stable gull
#

They have making charges

summer cedar
#

Use SIPs or whatever.

#

Just hold for 50 years.

mild gust
#

100

summer cedar
#

NEVER use it for speculating.

summer cedar
mild gust
#

Live on the gold

summer cedar
#

In that case, make sure your kids can prove provenance.

mild gust
#

Eat it

#

So you live longer

summer cedar
#

As in, make sure your lawyer gives them the papers for the gold.

#

That makes it easier for the kids to liquidate the investment later.

#

Otherwise.... it's a PITA.

mild gust
#

I also like to liquidate

summer cedar
stable gull
#

Eat gold, become liquid

summer cedar
#

50% value loss out the door.

stable gull
#

silver sort of works well

#

but i doubt anything else does

summer cedar
#

I didn't know that diamond miners sell them in bulk to jewellers. 🤣

summer cedar
#

Lucifer in bug form.

stable gull
mild gust
#

Looks like a moth?

#

Could be wrong

summer cedar
#

There's one precious metal... radioactive I think - called rhodium.

stable gull
summer cedar
#

It's a good investment, BUT VERY DIFFICULT to get a hold of.

summer cedar
#

Shit made up to make you buy them for your girls.

stable gull
mild gust
#

Bzzz

summer cedar
#

Of course, in Japan, gold is used in food.

#

So, you CAN eat it. 😄

stable gull
summer cedar
#

😄

stable gull
#

unless a bank will keep it or something

mild gust
#

Gold flakes

summer cedar
#

Don't sleep with it under your pillow.

#

But yeah, rhodium is a costly bugger.

stable gull
summer cedar
#

I think for some desserts.

#

In Japan, they have main dishes with it.

stable gull
#

yeah i remember seeing shiny sweets

stable gull
#

i wonder about the cost of the meal

summer cedar
#

Hehehe. Everything there's costly.

#

Actually, the gold flakes used on desserts in India might be fake.

stable gull
#

if gold is that edible, wouldn't it be easy to smuggle

summer cedar
#

I mean, we would definitely come up with a way to make fake gold flakes.

stable gull
#

mot harmful usually but it's not exactly digestible

summer cedar
#

I like my pure 24 karat 999 rated gold coins.

celest musk
#

that's goldfish skin

summer cedar
#

I buy them in 2g denomination only.

#

Easy to sell. 😄

mild gust
#

It was the only gif that looks similar

#

😢

stable gull
#

gram?

summer cedar
#

No. Nokia.
Yes, grams. 😄

celest musk
summer cedar
#

😱 Goldfish is not gold?!

#

stable gull
celest musk
#

they are orange?!

#

or even black

stable gull
#

They look orange in most pictures

mild gust
#

Some parts can be white

stable gull
#

I bet it was some marketing tactic to name them goldfish

summer cedar
#

Oooh, India vs. Australia - 3rd ODI today.

celest musk
#

apparently there's a bunch of variations

summer cedar
#

I didn't watch the steam while teaching.

#

Missed opportunity.

#

Watching now....

mild gust
#

Noob

celest musk
#

tho the orange/black one looks kinda cool

stable gull
summer cedar
#

I usually have TWO live streams going (if there're two matches), while working.

#

Love my ultrawide screen monitor. Hu hu.

#

😊

mild gust
#

Lol

#

Rich guy

summer cedar
#

Yes, but no.

#

Monitors are cheap.

#

Just stay away from that SUPA DUPA monitor crap.

stable gull
mild gust
#

50 year investments

summer cedar
#

With 3x returns over 10 years.

#

Hu hu.

stable gull
#

why can't we go back to using gold as a currency

#

our money would go up in value

summer cedar
#

because shiny.

#

we'd murder each other like we did in times galore.

#

more than we do now, I mean.

mild gust
stable gull
#

that's okay, natural selection

summer cedar
#

AI selection is better.

#

Israel has demonstrated it well.

#

30% error rate for Lavender and Daddy.

stable gull
#

what's that

summer cedar
#

Israel's military AIs.

#

Arguably the first modern deployment of AI in war.

stable gull
#

I think apps have become buggy since AI came over

summer cedar
#

One of those AIs is responsible for sifting out terrorists from civilians and the other locating them and locking on.

stable gull
#

in war, there are no rules so

summer cedar
#

The Israelis fed the database of civs and parameters for identification to them.

#

They also accepted the 30% error rate.

stable gull
#

that's some

#

uh

#

there was a show about this

summer cedar
#

It was big news, for all of two days.

stable gull
#

an ai that detects possible crimes and deaths

summer cedar
#

The sergeant in-charge of Lavender basically said, "Yeah, we know. Tough."

stable gull
#

and then some guy made a backdoor and a secret agent takes request

summer cedar
#

Well, we tried traffic AI in India.

#

It worked.... and didn't.

#

Several people got false tickets.

#

🤣

stable gull
summer cedar
#

Oh no, no. It was 30%.

#

They were quite shameless in accepting it.

#

There wasn't even an attempt to be tactful.

#

The military basically said, "Yup. It works."

#

🤣

stable gull
#

Perhaps the error rate was higher before

#

"Does he look like a bad guy to you?"
"Yup"

might be what they did before

summer cedar
#

Could be, but we'd be speculating there. It's not like anyone cared about the erroneous deaths over there.

stable gull
summer cedar
#

Oh yes.

#

Just like Russia introduced lasers in Ukraine.

stable gull
#

lasers?

summer cedar
#

First real-war deployment of laser platforms.

stable gull
#

like the red dot cat laser?

summer cedar
#

Like drone-melting lasers.

#

Big arse trucks.

stable gull
#

hmm

summer cedar
#

Not very mobile, but good enough.

stable gull
#

i hope i get to see it in some video some day

summer cedar
#

It's there.

#

but it isn't fancy.

stable gull
#

...are they advertising it to buyers

summer cedar
#

Lasers being real-time and all.

#

There's no time lag between firing and contact.

#

well, 'perceptible' time lag.

stable gull
#

but what about charge time

#

like

summer cedar
#

not demonstrated on video.

stable gull
#

reload

#

it doesn't go uuoooaaaeee before shooting?

stable gull
summer cedar
#

Yeah, I was expecting cool beams at first too.

#

Then the explanations made more sense. 😄

stable gull
#

I guess reality is often disappointing indeed

summer cedar
#

Well, laser pointers suddenly made more sense to me.

#

I always wondered why they didn't have a shiny red beam.

stable gull
#

and why it didn't pierce past the target

summer cedar
#

I wonder if it'd be better to replace machine guns on fighter jets with lasers.

#

🤷‍♂️

#

They don't really dogfight anymore and lasers might have a longer plausible range.

stable gull
#

that would be deadly yes

#

but maybe it needs too much energy and hence, space

summer cedar
#

113 runs from 28 overs to win

#

You're in as tough spot, Calamari!!!

pearl elk
#

wait whos batting?

median wraith
summer cedar
#

Aus batted first

median wraith
#

@summer cedar you know more games than me, from where is that

summer cedar
#

237 target

summer cedar
#

But, they might just be common, free assets now.

#

The style is generic.

#

Oh, Zampa is bowling.

#

His spin is fun.

median wraith
#

no cannot be a RTX

summer cedar
#

Oh yeah. They're also similar to Prontera in Ragnarok Online.

#

In fact, that town square circle is definitely Pronteran.

pearl elk
summer cedar
#

I think Aus was bowled out.

#

3rd ODI.

pearl elk
#

yeah thats a pretty low score, plenty of balls left

median wraith
#

oh god

#

yeah it is

#

okay this confirm everything from this idiot is stolen

#

UE taking 5 years ever to delete a map

#

let's gonna acept the fact this isn't well done, you don't need to check for any other asset aside of maps if have dependencies

summer cedar
#

61 runs off 129 balls required.

#

176-1. 😄

#

Rohit Sharma is playing like he's late for an appointment.

median wraith
#

what the

summer cedar
#

37 runs off 100 balls

#

Can India do it?!

#

🤣

median wraith
#

this for a single room

#

that's why I don't like realistic graphics

summer cedar
#

very real.

#

psx style? is it an ai model generator?

median wraith
#

no it means the PS1

#

it's called PSX

summer cedar
#

oh yeah, that.

#

Used to be all the rage in those days.

#

I loved playing Fire Emblem on it.

#

There was also Tactics Ogre.

#

😍

median wraith
#

maybe because the PS10 will come with that kind of graphics and the rest is build by AI in realtime

summer cedar
#

Plus, I think until the PS2, you could just chuck the console into your desk drawer and it would still be cool enough to play from there, FOR YEARS.

median wraith
#

Only I can tell you is real hard to find hand painted models anywhere

summer cedar
#

hand painted or butt painted, all I want is something that looks like it has quality.

#

Like that Bounty Star I showed you yesterday, I didn't appreciate the hodge podge usage of assets.

#

The game itself is fine, but they should've customised a lot of the generated art and store assets.

#

Very lazy.

#

If I had the coding skills some of these lazy arse devs have, I could make magic.

#

The Long Dark is very nice.

#

@pearl elk

#

This gives accuracy a whole new meaning.

#

For six runs!

#

Damn, umpire ruled it four.

#

Short by a millimetre.

pearl elk
#

by a centipede

summer cedar
#

millipede, surely.

summer cedar
#

Must've been something in the beer.

pearl elk
#

nah thats just hazelnuts

summer cedar

you are all beer nerds.

pearl elk

summer cedar

Holy! Rohit just SWEPT the ball for six.

#

Again!

GG Cal. 🙂

237-1, 38.3 overs.

@stable gull Hooray!!!!

It was originally intended to coincide with the film's release, but was mired in development hell for several years, finally being completed and released in 2000.

#

crazy that unreal doesn't have virtual keyboard support for windows touch, imo.

#

what do you mean? like sending keyboard events programmatically? I thought unreal does allow that cause there are multiple virtual keyboard widget plugins on fab

#

Isn't it possible with enhanced input to simulate an input? not exactly the same as 'a button' but should do the trick for most usecases.

#

Cause I mean, unreal has support for virtual joysticks and stuff, so you'd assume it should be possible?

#

for virtual keyboard I did figure out a way, which was to programmatically invoke the windows TabTip.exe application whenever a text widget gets focus, it's a bit hacky but it works, but probably isn't helpeful if you need to simulate controller button presses

#

there is this -

#

I'm actually super happy about having figured out a solution for the virtual keyboard thingie, it took me several hours and it's not 100% elegant but it works well.

#

I actually saw this mentioned in multiple youtube videos but I always forget how to do it

@mild gust are CS skins even worth what people claim. The 2k to 20k skins lol

#

Theres no proof people are actually paying that much

#

Aside for very very very select skins that happened in the past, that hasn't been sold again for that much since

mild gust
#

Not actually

#

People rarely buy them and the ones that do are usually esports players or gamblers.

#

Or people get lucky from a crate

#

My one irl buddy has gotten 5 knives from crates

#

I watched him pull 2 in person

#

It went up almost a bill

errant raven
#

If it were, why is no one turning their inventory liquid.

mild gust
#

There's no way they could hold value

#

They are about are useful as an NFT

errant raven
#

Nothing holds value

mild gust
#

Tell that to gold

errant raven
#

Golds value isnt stable either

mild gust
#

More stable than any other valuable material

errant raven
#

More stable than the dollar?

mild gust
#

You think the dollar is stable?

errant raven
#

More stable than any other currency

mild gust
#

Have you looked into Switzerland?

#

As of October 2025, the Swiss franc (CHF) is widely regarded as the most stable currency in the world, supported by Switzerland's strong economy, political neutrality, low debt-to-GDP ratio, and conservative monetary policy.

errant raven
#

Damn those swiss

mild gust
#

Almost as if tariffs are bad.

errant raven
#

The swiss franc to usd difference is just as much as usd to euro difference

mild gust
#

But you said stability

errant raven
#

In the last decades, it's been pretty reliable

#

Currency isnt even the point, the price of gold is the point

#

Cs skin investors are idiots that could've spent that same amount on gold as they did skins while still having something that's valuable to a wider amount of people.

How do you spend money on money

Just hold monero

errant raven

Actually

#

Twitch

#

You pay $2 for 95 cents worth of bits in return

mild gust
#

What

errant raven
#

When I saw that exchange rate, I questioned why so many people were willing to pay $21 bucks to send a streamer $10

mild gust
#

Because they want to support the goon lord Dan Clancey

#

He needs more 19 year olds to goon to

errant raven
#

I see more gifted subs than bit donations anyways

#

Streamers get 70% of that per sub

mild gust
#

But ceo gets paid

errant raven
#

30%

#

Way better than spending double the amount for less than half in return

Chaturbates exchange rate is better, which is weird

the initial document I made from a decade of worldbuilding is 80 pages and gemini had a stroke trying to make it

the new updated one is easily going to be novel length in and of itself

technically novel 21

im still stuck on novel 7 though, tiny bit of writers block. like i know where the story came from, and know where its GOING, but the leap from novel 7 start to novel 8 end is a LOT more fuzzy than novel 9's entire storyline
