sorrowind
plucky pagoda
Fast travel that doesn't have an ingame mechanic that makes sense is also a thing I think hurt the sense of scale in those games. Large worlds with a whole lot of nothing. That sense of scale that Morrowind had when it first came out was lost even though the worlds got bigger.
pearl elk
I liked Darklands cuz your characters could drop dead of old age

Skyrim needed more Random events, better ambushes for player, better AI navmesh AI can't reach you also AI bad at detecting sneaking players, also AI has no good ranged attacks.
i fixed everything with mods in my playthrough but base game is lacking.
Bethesda should hire modders because they fix bugs and game better than them at this point. Dont even look at FO76.

I have a question. Can you use steam gift cards for the game publish fee?

quiet narwhal
not if you own the Xbox version lol

twice the crap with 0 polish
quiet narwhal
yeah they have basicallyt improved it is why they are pushing it again and it makes a ton of sense in this environment @plucky pagoda
plucky pagoda
Their current model doesn't make them enough money and it leads to policies that piss people off.
vast heron
Fallout 76 is a bad game i will only buy it for trolling other players as a raider if game gets better with Wastelanders update.
quiet narwhal
its quite interesting to see how large unity is trying to make the learning part of their ecosystem, rather than trying to do it all in house so much of their learning stuff is co authored or just bought from other people/sites lol
plucky pagoda
Yeah, they've definitely gone all in on that and the community stuff. There's something about it though that just misses with me. I'm not sure what it is.
vast heron
Unity is good engine but I prefer Unreal because it is easier to find animators and 3D designers for UE.
plucky pagoda
Like their discord has a lot of great stuff but it's lost in the shear quantity of scroll.

Epic is trying to keep a standard so I can't fault them for that while Unity can be all over the place since alot of it is general community stuff (even if its high quality)

I'm really down on Unity right now and it's not the first time. I started using it before they went to the cheaper models, nearly from its start. Looking back even though I used it a lot it was never a good fit for me.

I am your own worst enemy
plucky pagoda
I'm really happy with most of what I've seen from Epic the last year.
pearl elk
Ive not seen as much of Epic this last year tbh
plucky pagoda
I'm a little concerned with the learn.unrealengine stuff. There's some good stuff there but it's not presented in the greatest way.

really? They have been there but mostly buying things for us to use :p
plucky pagoda
Not the content, but how it's organized.
fathom wadi
My asset library more than doubled this last year through Epic alone
plucky pagoda
oh man yeah. That's one thing they could do so much better. Unity has finally added good filtering for your asset libraries.
Being able to preview the actual files in an asset before buying it is great too. There's a lot assets I've decided not to buy because I could see how they setup the models and it was not good.
Or plenty I've bought because I could see they included source files
fathom wadi
I pray for the day we get rid of this launcher for something new. The website version of the store/etc is fine. But the launcher lags like me before coffee. That and they don't let you limit download speeds with it. So it hogs the bandwidth when updating
fathom wadi
yeah that would be cool
Perhaps they could offer some kind of "promoted usage" of the Launcher source code. So people sign an NDA and get to do some PR work on it
plucky pagoda
I'm sure it'll get there. Too many people want some sort of sorting for it not to happen at some point.
Even a separate tab for projects and vault stuff would be a boon
fathom wadi
Dunno man, I've been requesting that download limiter for years and I even went and figured out how to do it myself. It's a quick fix.

can you use Chaos without compiling your own build yet in 4.25?

Big companies should not use UE they should not be layz and make their own engine, do you think like me.

umm dont big companies have their own engines
vast heron
Mostly yes
signal citrus
engines aren't so simple anymore
fathom wadi
@vast heron I agree. Unless they are making an Unreal Engine game, then they should use it
plucky pagoda
There's no reason other than personal interest to make your own engine anymore
fathom wadi
the engine that they used for Final Fantasy 15 was awesome
carmine frigate
big companies buy an engine
vast heron
Atleast they should heavily modify Unreal Engine like Valve did to Quake engine modify it and called it Gold Src Engine.
signal citrus
aye but calling gold source a heavy mod is a bit of a stretch
one of these engines is written in c++ lol
plucky pagoda
I could see working with a more barebones engine to get a better understanding of the concepts, mechanics and rendering but there's free engines of everytype out there now
vast heron
Gold Source is modified Quake engine am i wrong

like there is heavy mod and rewrite and its somewhere between

I ripped them off and created the Slow Inverse Square Root. Now my framerate is screenshot speed and I feel good ๐

Quake 2 supports DLLs though

quakec was that too iirc

u can tell by how crap it runs

Apex Legends ran sweet.... right as I ran into the hackers that ruined the game :p

Im sure Valve did alot of work but they didnt use Quake 1 engine it was somewhere in between

Alyx is source?

so it looks and runs like a turd? ๐
vast heron
Source 2

to be fair, how it looks is here nor there. Thats an artist issue these days. Unless people are looking for the latest hot shit in effects that the majority won't notice. The original source was a donkey setup, but it looked amazing thanks to the texture work

VR is the future no more 2D gaming is a funny line i don't aggree with this statement.

I hope Valve release Half-Life 3 non VR.

they expect modders to make a non VR version of Alyx for em, bloody cheapskates

its beyond a solid game though

in Alyx even headcrabs can kill you noting like Freeman.
carmine frigate
read some comments on a tech site about alyx, lot of ppl said they would just watch a youtube playtrough for the story
pretty sad ๐

||there are references to gordon in the game though, one vortigaunt specifically is obsessed with him||
vast heron
I watched from youtube because i dont have money but game is very well made, best VR game to this date.
lucid walrus
I want those almost perfect shadows in Unreal
Like, those contact shadows are bloody perfect... haven't seen a glitch so far
Also, the reflections (which I guess are static cubemaps, but still)
pearl elk
somehow I dont think its the best VR game to date, its because Valve made it plain and simple. I was looking at the metacritic and in just this short amount of time it has so many more reviews than Roborecall
fathom wadi
I like PokerstarsVR. Its been the only game I consistently go back to except for that little space game in The Lab
pearl elk
some are even really poor reviews but the pure mass of em has bumped the metacritic
carmine frigate
also a lot of ppl bought headset for alyx and its the 1st experience
signal citrus
have you played it spoon?
pearl elk
People are honestly saying its the best HL game ever
signal citrus
it is though
pearl elk
simply because Steam didnt have a ratings system for HL2 or even exist for the first game
tbh dude the whole IP is stale as fuck
signal citrus
it retains half life and half life 2 things but pulls it off in vr in a way that makes insane sense
carmine frigate
HL1 was kinda dope for the time, didnt play 2 much,, both would feel verry dated if i played em now
pearl elk
Id rather watch another Ridley Scott Aliens at this point
carmine frigate
cant really compare to ancient stuff like that
pearl elk
It manages to take their shitty design and make it worse, sure does
Combine soldiers was my least favourite part of HL2
carmine frigate
really watching a playtrough like that would make me feel ill real fast
pearl elk
I just dont understand how City 17 even happened really, they just dump you in it and its a fun enough game but Black Mesa was a better location
signal citrus
it made zero sense
pearl elk
it lent itself to the alien conspiracy better
signal citrus
but alyx happens between the two
carmine frigate
id like to see Fear: Project origin in VR
signal citrus
actual spoilers: ||though black mesa hasn't been somewhere i've visited yet by playthough||
pearl elk
Im sure the gameplay of Alyx is awesome but Ive given up on Valve story writers after Portal, that was about as good as it gets
fathom wadi
HL2 felt like a tech demo to me. I had more fun in the leaked dev kit

all i can say is that everything of hl alyx feels executed with great thought

i haven't played a ton of vr games to be fair
carmine frigate
in VR stuff up close is super dope, but far away gets pixelated
the extra pixel on the other eye wont add much than
pearl elk
Im more looking forward to it when its worth it, maybe 4-5 years
signal citrus
feel like hl alyx brought it to that point already but i really am starting to drone on that
pearl elk
Im hoping by then you'll be able to move using brainwaves rather than fucking with teleport
carmine frigate
@signal citrus what headset?
carmine frigate
hmm
pearl elk
you did say you havent tried many VR games though
carmine frigate
well index would be better
pearl elk
so what are you comparing it to?

i usually get nothing out of vr games
so i'm comparing it to being unsatisified with most other experiences
carmine frigate
robo recall was kinda dope
mild root
Im hoping by then you'll be able to move using brainwaves rather than fucking with teleport
@pearl elk unfortunately, it is as accurate as read keyboard input by putting inductive coil next to it and trying to measure a current
carmine frigate
i kinda like the simple small stuff tho
prolly started up fantasynth more than 10 times ๐
signal citrus
robo recall was kinda dope
fathom wadi
Im fine with VR as it stands. People have made some genuinely awesome games in VR that reflects the platform's best features. But the hardware on my face feels like some heffer sat on my face.
carmine frigate
and it has no gameplay at all
pearl elk
Robo recall is kinda old now too, from what Ive heard HL Alyx mainly just copies the mechanics from games before it rather than bringing new stuff.
signal citrus
mm spoon, thing is just picking up items and interacting with the world is near perfect
like you can say it just took existing mechanics sure
but nothing does it as well
pearl elk
Yeah Ive heard its polished
signal citrus
i've not tried boneworks which is supposed to be good too, but have been told its not as solid
pearl elk
thing is I never liked the gravity gun, Im not really a woo physics kinda person unless I can shoot it to pieces with a minigun
signal citrus
its polished to a point where you go in expecting things to not work as well as they do, and sometimes sure things clip and stuff but its less than expected
fathom wadi
VR needs a little suspension of disbelief to work anyway
pearl elk
Maybe if they did Garys Mod VR, I could have fun with that but basic physics interactions is yawn
signal citrus
gravity gloves are dope
pearl elk
that gravity pickup thing is a VR staple now though
carmine frigate
there is also VR chat ๐
fathom wadi
VR Fist of the North Star with chaos physics. Who's with me?
pearl elk
all Valve did was go, oh we have a reason for that

like Epic did with Field Lettuce Generators ๐
I dont need a reason for game mechanics to exist, gravity gloves are a nice touch I suppose but its not gonna make me buy an index
Id rather pay for a pair of actual gravity gloves, probably be cheaper

carmine frigate

tbh that time crisis cab is impressive though, the tube on it, below the mirror is some how super sharp
pearl elk
I get it, its hip dope and cool, the real mccoy n anyone who's anyone has played Alyx. Flood the market with VR selfies n whatnot

do have to dust it off sometimes

it was a worthy single player game at a time when people were still getting use to mouse and keyboard for FPS games

Did you ever play the PS2 version of Half-life? They added an aimbot because console players = noobs :p

Third person only good if you playing as a female character.

I prefer third, gives me more awareness

Depends on the game the more important story is the more I tend to prefer third person
fathom wadi
@quiet narwhal thats another thing. Looking around corners of being extra aware from unfeasible angles. It detracts from gameplay to me. If I want to kneel behind cover, I dont want to see over the cover unless I look with my head, but TPS ruins that

Fortnite for example, you land, you see someone, so you hide, but they can use TPS to exploit looking into houses and around corners. Its annoying ๐

@vast heron well if you see how fast china recovered and how it offers help to everyone (after payment) then its normal to think something is going on..

Skyrim did it best tho
First person + 2 third person modes
Turn towards movement direction and strafe(combat) mode
We dont have a budget for animations (makes first person game)
quiet narwhal
ESO has the same basic setup, first or third and when it combat it goes to strafe. I really enjoy it. Doing the same for my stuff but adding in lock on for combat

I loathe that I get sick from first person these days... I won't be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 ๐ฆ

@zinc matrix I aggree with most of the points. FPS game with optional TPS is good for RPG/Open World.

Yeah in unreal its fairly simple to add that mathew... which is why i wonder why more games dont have that

Thirdperson camera is not hard to do. But most FPS games does not include third person animations for characters.

True, with third person comes that workload..

Blender doesn't work with UE4 properly for bones. They come in with the wrong rotation
its a longstanding issue
fathom wadi
or one of the old ones, or to use mixamo and retarget etc etc
I like the 3ds CAT rig method myself but I wont use 3ds anymore
yeah the entire community is wrong and Epic are too for making the fix
jesus h christ
raw rose
You'll have to make a tutorial on how you magically got it working with no issues
fathom wadi
no direct import. You can retarget anything from anything no matter the DCC
raw rose
We're talking about, export the mannequin to blender > remove the mesh > make your own mesh > apply the skeleton to the new mesh > import it back into UE4 > test animations
The bones will be rotated in blender
Can't
It has to be that skeleton
tulip orbit
no, the skeleton straight out of UE4 into blender. Just trying to add a new animation, everything comes out wrong
its something to do with blenders import/export of the fbx format
fathom wadi
its a Y-forward issue for bones.
raw rose
In order to make compatible characters, they have to use that skeleton
fathom wadi
doesn't have to but it makes for easy retargetting without farting around
tulip orbit
tried 'em all, nothing works. Only thing I have tried yet is mr mannequin, but I"m just gonna wait for the offical tools from epic now
fathom wadi
should probably read again. It's a Y-Forward issue for the bone rotation where UE is X-Forward.
yeah but people want their marketplace animations to work
well its not really that different. They just have a hip and root where UE has a root. But that needs a script to retarget from blender too

Best thing to do is just use the UE rig for everything ever.

Why say your releasing in 2020 months before delaying though
pearl elk
cuz Publishers are dicks ๐
soft night
so epic games is too?
pearl elk
Devs probably been tellin the Publisher for ages, we cant hit that date and finally they saw the issues for themselves and listened
They also gotta make these games work on some pretty weak hardware if theyre releasing on Xbox One and PS4
signal citrus
Everyone deserves scrutiny though. Canโt just be a free pass everytime, even though that seems to be exactly the case I guess
Yeah but that isnโt something they canโt include in a schedule lol
pearl elk
Yeah I get it, it looks really bad and you cant just keep pushing things back with the "when its done" mentality cuz thats not a sign of progress
Actually Xbox One seems to be holding alot of games up in terms of porting
Its going to get worse in the future too cuz theres no exclusivity for any Xbox platform, the new one is just yet another platform ontop of the rest to support
signal citrus
Cyberpunk reasoning was โoh no testing takes time we didnโt think of, our bad. We want best cyberpunkโ
rich quiver
due to Xbox One NDA of the game must release on the same day as every other port

the rumour mill around Cyberpunk 2077 was it didnt run for shit on Xbox One and since it was shown exclusively in partnership with MS... well cant have them lookin bad ๐
signal citrus
Is Sony not the same V4?
pearl elk
Im certainly not against porting to weaker systems but I dont see why it should hold up PC releases
rich quiver
no
pearl elk
Theyre gonna have to loosen up on Xbox One support, let people make it only for One X and Series X
rich quiver
PS4 port can change date form the original pc game for a example
signal citrus
Potato mode and done
rich quiver
in Xbox port you cant do that
pearl elk
Its a bad move cuz you end up with rushed ports, Switch is going great with ports cuz those games are mostly already done so no pressure just make the port run the best.
signal citrus
Yeah but the new mw2 campaign is a PlayStation 4 exclusive for a month
So such rule must have some exceptions
โUnless your call of dutyโ for example
pearl elk
Billions of dollars will do that
signal citrus
Wouldnโt think cyberpunk be subject to such thing
The โunless your keanue reevesโ policy and all
pearl elk
yeah but theres also "gamers are idiots" policy ๐
It might have to do with CDPR self publishing along side
MS were probably begging em to publish it to get that exclusivity
rich quiver
MS have more then millions if they wanted the cyberpunk in xbox/pc exclusive for short since they deny millions from epic, sony and maybe more. So the game release everywhere without exclusivity
Epic also need to promoted there own EGS games because the devs/publisher aren't doing marketing at all for there own game
pearl elk
Im willing to bet Cyberpunk will be one of the biggest sellers ever simply because its going to be available everywhere
rich quiver
that the point that CDPR want with no exclusivity
pearl elk
Im definitely gonna buy it on GoG, just because i have accounts everywhere so its not like I need to buy it somewhere else ๐
rich quiver
most of sales will like the witcher GoG and Steam will make of it
pearl elk
I do get abit of a kick out of Steam achievements, trading cards but its really not much of a value add
My achievements are spread across so many platforms simply because of exclusivity and whatnot so theres no point. I'll never have a centralized place to go, look at this, all my stuff boom right there
Maybe GoG will try, maybe Epic Online stuff gets it right, who knows. Its a mess!
signal citrus
It is online right?
signal citrus
But itโs not like hitman 2?
Where itโs just snoopy online connection to some server? There will be coop?
pearl elk
Which game are we talking about, Cyberpunk?
I was under the impression it was SP only with the MP game being a separate thing released later
but obviously these days SP comes with some live service shit
rich quiver
MP is year later
pearl elk
I dont think Ive seen anything about Netrunning so maybe there is some sort of coop in there
I do like coop but sometimes a game is better without it, like for example horror, its easier to be scared when in solitary because you dont have that comfort of a group

Damn the animations in this game are amazing
signal citrus
still find the combat clumsy but yeah
pearl elk
I really dislike the fatal blows, wish I could turn em off
signal citrus
have you seen the joker yet? in mk11
pearl elk
other than that move I like the rest of it
the bots always fatal blow and go hyper on me, feels cheap and not skillful
signal citrus
yeah, idk the timing on that game with attacks is too sluggish
but the joker is so hyper violent. i don't know how dc approved it lol
pearl elk
I prefer MKX abit more for the combat but theres some cool combos, characters and effects in MK11
signal citrus
imo: mk9 was better than mkx, mk11 is slightly better than mkx
pearl elk
both have stupid collect the crap gameplay
signal citrus
ye
signal citrus
its the one with the better combat
pearl elk
actual breakers
it sucks when the gameplay is slightly off but the game looks so amazing
signal citrus
i think with mk series it has to be a conscience decision
pearl elk
this is why mods are the best, I could make MK11 better with a small mutator
if you could do a breaker in between the moves of a fatal blow or somethin, or if it were 3x shorter and you could do it 3x
but one move which can take so much of your health is just stupid 1 shot BS
Its meant to be some sort of equalizer but if youre that far behind you screwed up to begin with. With good breakers and combos you should be able to do similar in a skillful way which is worth watching more than a canned sequence
signal citrus
to me it just seems like a way to stick more animation in
which is what its turned into
pearl elk
the guns I can handle with alittle bit of lockdown because MK3 had similar and MK on N64 had weapons too
I dont like it, especially Kano but I could deal with it if it wernt lockdown, fatal blow, lockdown, fatality... bot wins
More animation is not always a bad thing if its done right, the way they did it in MK vs DC was pretty cool
I think it should still have input though, its not even a QTE its complete loss of control of your character
signal citrus
in this context i mean their desire to stuff more animation in for fatal blows detracts from the gameplay
the gameplay seems to come second
pearl elk
Yeah it sure does even though the animation system in the game is good enough to handle pretty decent dynamic strings of combos
pearl elk
they totally could, theres no reason to play the same fatal blow over and over again
its almost like it was added in last minute "cuz its cool" and it fucks the whole game to put it bluntly
signal citrus
my complaint here is not a lot different than what doom 16 started doing. but there at least its not like 10 seconds of pause lol
i imagine it was much more of: months of work to get cool animation of icicle in eye socket
like i doubt they could last minute author all of those things
pearl elk
well the fatal blows are all pretty weak in visuals imo
the brutalities are far more entertaining
I was on the fence with x-rays, I liked em because the gameplay was alright and to do a long one you needed to build it up it wasnt just low health kpow 1 shot
I was never particular fond of the visuals though, it got very meh after awhile, bit like Sniper Elite
signal citrus
"people like fatalities, how do we put more fatalities in the game"
pearl elk
Its possible those blows were xrays then they just made it so theres only 1 type rather than 3 tiers because each fatal blow seems to have 3 different cuts to it
Thats where you different xray bars would have been previously and you needed all full to do the triple banger
signal citrus
i didn't care for xrays either though really but yeah fatal blows seem like twice as long
they do the same thing with ... that other mortal kombat game that i can't remember the name of with dc characters
pearl elk
MK vs DC, thats the one I was talking about but it was alittle better
you could smash em through the walls and roof
signal citrus
nah the other one
pearl elk
Injustice
I love what theyve done with Baraka in MK11, I really want to play more of the game but its just so frustrating. The towers even worse cuz of the MTX bullshit, you have to pay for the mods to get past anything
signal citrus
injustice is the one yeah, they kinda turned mk into just a fan service thing like injustice is
people do mod mk11 though so maybe you could take a hand at it
pearl elk
The mobile game is easy as, just swipe directions, I enjoyed it for awhile though until their permissions became overreaching
Heh cool there is mods, I had no idea
There was one thing they did in MK I couldnt pass the test your might, turns out you grab and pencil and voila easy as
signal citrus
lol i found that too
pearl elk
I was like wtf, this whole time I thought super humans were doing this shit and I couldnt, turns out everyone was bloody cheating
signal citrus
i'm pretty sure when you start having to exploit the controller to win, like i mean: I don't think really good players can even beat that, nor does the game ever require you to tap so fast.. It seemed like a dumb thing lol
yeah lol

I thought it might be some sort of "the pen is mightier than the sword" joke but it was still frustrating ๐

I noticed all chaos plugins are on by default in 4.25 (binary preview), does this mean 4.25 switched to chaos for physics?
fathom wadi
doubt it
perhaps they are just making so you don't need to compile it specifically. But I imagine it will still take years to replace it. 1, 2, maybe more. who knows. It's the most complex beast the engine has seen since UE4 started really
north sequoia
I see. Hope its sooner. At least as beta.
stiff crystal
I hope they don't rush it
swapping the default physics means it will break thousands of projects that try to upgrade to 4.25 even if it would work "properly"
north sequoia
The two engines dont interact right now, which is a bit limiting.
stiff crystal
at this stage it would be a disaster
never is more likely
I don't really see why you'd want to mix these once chaos is functional enough
north sequoia
Didn t they switch physics engines before and it was fairly seamless?
stiff crystal
they've never had multiple physics engines on the engine at once
they started work in enabling that around 4.21 or so
north sequoia
I dont want to mix, i cant really switch normal physics stuff to it. At least not sure how.
stiff crystal
but if you mean the time when they upgraded from physx 3.3 to 3.4 they just swapped the old physx out on the process
and man what nightmare it was even with that small changes
north sequoia
Maybe that, i thought it was using bullet.
stiff crystal
UE4 users were basically guinea pigs for physx 3.4 as it wasn't even released yet the moment it got swapped in unreal
this is why you shouldn't use ue 4.13 or 4.14 if you need physics
Unreal has never used bullet physics
(stock ue that is)
I've had bullet running as ue4 plugin
north sequoia
I need the glorious destruction... and keep the current collisions working the same.
fathom wadi
4.13 was my nemesis build. Its the worst build I've used
I dont think they can get rid of PhysX entirely though without something magical. Almost impossible even without a re-write of everything. Imagine the trouble you have to go through. Characters for examples. Pretty much replacing the entire structure of it's physics is like stripping away what makes it what it is.

We're nearing 2 weeks in lockdown now and already the people I live with are getting insufferable and arguing all the time ๐ฆ Crappy environment to work in

You can try dig a hole and hide them in there.

quiet narwhal

but
the science says corona virus can last up to 3 days on plastic
so idk how safe im really being
analog hamlet
the revenge of freezers has come
azure chasm
i believe it though, and thats part of the problem
because people are thinking everything isfine
but they are hosts
tulip orbit
the only solution is to carpet bomb everything
analog hamlet
except if the test is flawed and people are false identified

The simple fact is, that many places around the world have been able to contain the virus without major outbreaks.
I think it is just a matter of learning from what did work and what didn't work for the places that got hit with it a month ago.
analog hamlet
they made report in italy about 88% of dead people didnt actually die of virus damage, but something else. also was something about issues with tests they had falsely identified people.
north torrent
Or two months ago.
So the rate of people who died from slipping on banana peels just coincidentally skyrocketed 20x the same time a virus outbreak happened?
tulip orbit
well its probably not the virus itself killing, its the complications created by it
azure chasm
yes lets not be hasty and blame the virus guys
pure marlin
and the fact that the hospitals cant serve ppl when it is already full ^^
analog hamlet
Interitus, no i mean literally there was a different reason. these people who die usually have something called pre morbidity, another reason for dying eg cancer. And they die unfortunately on daily basis.
north torrent
I should go inform the CDC about this cancer thing. I don't think they have heard about it.
analog hamlet
They know about it. The problem is with how you read the numbers.
And how the newspaper feeding it into your head to read it
north torrent
Are newspapers still a thing in 2020?
pure marlin
we need toiletpaper, so yes xD
analog hamlet
For clarifying, they close the active cases either the active case deceased or finally healed, and the numbers does not make distinction of reasons. They were tested positive and considered active cases.
north torrent
I can send you some. No shortage here.
north torrent
Only in one particular part of the world... The rest of us don't understand...
pure marlin
0unlike bitcoin, toiletpaper grows on trees :d
azure chasm
haha
north torrent
Here, toilet paper isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
azure chasm
is it even really paper
north torrent
Is paper even real?
pure marlin
it is not digital, therefore it is real, right ?
or is made in china products not real ๐ค
pure marlin
is the internet real ?
azure chasm
if only companies werent so greedy to exploit child labor and make everything in china
i want some organic american made toilet paper
pure marlin
dont easy condemn child worker company's , condemn the system, sometimes they need this few cents to survive. Life is so much more complicated :3
and the funny thing is, it is our own fault all that
azure chasm
its our brains fault that we get so easily swayed by commercials
