[sick bloom]

It would let me scream as angrily as I can at things and no one will know a thing

[brazen basalt]

LemonIsntReallyBritish

[misty spindle]

Living in the woods is gay. I gotta play black ops 2 with the BOIS.

[brazen basalt]

[sick bloom]

I have my wifi password saved as a screenshot lul

[misty spindle]

It's gotta be the 20 fps experience on the 360.

[brazen basalt]

Well I need to remember it too!

and the way the routers mounted makes it hard to get off without breaking something

[brazen basalt]

phrasing...

[hallow sapphire]

yeah thats kinda hmm

[brazen basalt]

sussy af is what it is

[misty spindle]

You will recieve a phone call at 4:30 PM, do not answer it and the man outside will walk away.

[brazen basalt]

there is no mans

[sick bloom]

[brazen basalt]

you said it!

[sick bloom]

I didnt mean that though!

[vale niche]

Starlink is actually available for me, but too expensive

[brazen basalt]

itll get cheaper eventually

[hallow sapphire]

[misty spindle]

Shut up nerd.

[hallow sapphire]

i forgot to bring a drink with me to class :,)

[vale niche]

My only week off this whole month

[dusty spire]

Has anyone oculus stopped working recently getting this error and my Rift S wont connect via USB

[brazen basalt]

[misty spindle]

Speak english or I'm gonna shit yourself.

[sick bloom]

lemma only knows one language, poor sod

[brazen basalt]

rip

[hallow sapphire]

looks like some issue with some usb thing

could always try a pc reset

[dusty spire]

I tried that and changing ports same error

My USB is fine cause keyboard/mouse/microphone and webcam all working fine

My guess Oculus recent update/window has effed up

[misty spindle]

fucked*

[sick bloom]

[misty spindle]

Holy H*CKING! wth (what da heck) is happenING!

[vale niche]

lemon is the impostor from among us

[surreal oracle]

I blame the Germans for one of my major annoyances with the Danish language

[misty spindle]

Die horribly.

[brazen basalt]

excessive use of consonants?

[sick bloom]

Isn't danish all languages smacked together

[hallow sapphire]

i have a quest 2, on the public test channel and i can connect fine
but again, i have a quest 2 lol

[brazen basalt]

or my favorite thing, word frankenstein'ing

[surreal oracle]

English: Potato
Norwegian: Potet
Swedish: Potatis
Danish: kArToFFeL

[brazen basalt]

i swear half the Deutsch language is just portmanteaus.

[sick bloom]

No dont worry, we have aardappel

or translated, earthapple

[hallow sapphire]

earthapple

[vale niche]

yeah we just take words, and smack them together to make new words
plane is "fly thing" in german

[brazen basalt]

flugzeug

[hallow sapphire]

"antibabypillen"

[surreal oracle]

It's just that, (written) danish is almost exactly like Norwegian and Swedish, we can generally talk with eachother.
Then suddenly I get ambushed by Kartoffel and have a mild stroke

[sick bloom]

fahrzeug

[brazen basalt]

drive thing

feurzeug

werkzeug - work thing XD

so many things

[sick bloom]

I mean its not much better here

werktuig

[brazen basalt]

the one i really love is Gürteltier - belt animal

but its Armadillo

[sick bloom]

Ah, gordeldier

[vale niche]

dutchies just stole german words, and made them scuffed

[sick bloom]

I like looking at these words and imagining english people looking at them not knowing what the fuck any of that is

[brazen basalt]

english isnt any better. it stole 3 different languages, stacked them in a trenchcoat, and pretended it was one adult language

[surreal oracle]

I'll never forgive you for stealing "Ski" from us, and then mispronouncing it horribly.

[sick bloom]

Ski

[surreal oracle]

no not like that

its: Ski

[brazen basalt]

don's dutch tho

so its partially his fault

[bronze anchor]

Nah we didnt steal the words
We just heard them, found making our own language too hard so we just took the sound and wrote our own version of that sound

[hallow sapphire]

language is fun

[sick bloom]

[oak widget]

Butterfly in german or hospital are the weird ones i know

[vale niche]

Schmetterling and Krankenhaus

[brazen basalt]

Schmetterling and Krankenhaus?

[bronze anchor]

Ambulance is one of my favorites

[sick bloom]

when wows released dutch ships I loved watching videos and hearing people say gouden leeuw, Johan De Witt and kijkduin horribly

[brazen basalt]

damn u nico

[oak widget]

yeah lol

[sick bloom]

De ruyter became a router

[bronze anchor]

Goeuwden leaeuw

[vale niche]

Idk how you would word to word translate schmetterling into english, but krankenhaus means "Sick house" or "House of the sick" basically

[sick bloom]

gooda loow

[brazen basalt]

I mean you could take „Schmetter” as its own word, but then like

that doesnt translate at all to what the whole word means

[sick bloom]

Nico rattenhaus is like a government thing right

Wait

[brazen basalt]

guess it'd actually be Schmettern but whatever

[sick bloom]

maybe ive gone insane hang on

[vale niche]

never heard rattenhaus have anything to do with government

[sick bloom]

Rathaus

there thats the word

[vale niche]

yeah that's like the town mayor building thingy

[sick bloom]

yes

funny because rat

[brazen basalt]

but that makes sense because Rat can mean like Counsel

and Counsel House is kinda what govt buildings are in a way

[vale niche]

rat in rathaus comes from beraten which means like advice or counseling

[stuck crest]

myshkas?

[vale niche]

Is that russian? I only know that мишка (mishka) means bear in russian (probaly spelt it wrong aswell)

[stuck crest]

yes, it means little mouse in russian

[brazen basalt]

Bär

[sick bloom]

beer

[jovial marsh]

i haven't seen Russian words in a long time

[brazen basalt]

no don

u drunk

[sick bloom]

No smh

[hallow sapphire]

ah

[vale niche]

in english class all the idiots pronounce bear as beer even though the prononuciation is the same in german

[sick bloom]

I dont even drink

[vale niche]

totally

[jovial marsh]

so there is no difference right

[oak widget]

gpu, thats high, cpu, thats low

[brazen basalt]

that...wait what
even the non-umlauted A wouldnt sound like beer, what are they doing XD

[hallow sapphire]

the shroud is all metal for some reason

or almost all of it

[vale niche]

they see ea and pronounce it like ee

[brazen basalt]

oof

[hallow sapphire]

actually

[brazen basalt]

oh wait, learning english

[vale niche]

because english is totally phonetically consistent as we all know

yea

[brazen basalt]

tbf english has some really stupid pronunciation issues

basically no consistency

[hallow sapphire]

this is under the cover :)

[faint hearth]

it also varies between dialects, which makes it harder

[brazen basalt]

much harfer 😏

[vale niche]

though through and tough look like they should sound similar but they don't sound similar at all

[stuck crest]

some one said that the two E's in Bee is silent

[faint hearth]

my typing skills have been bad lately

[brazen basalt]

and that's just the differences in english between english-primary nations, not even counting regions within those nations

[oak widget]

there's also pidgin languages

not to be confused with birdspeak

[brazen basalt]

one stupid english rule i still loathe is hearing people say the whole I before E except after C thing

yes, except the thousands of exceptions

so its a stupid and pointless thing

[sick bloom]

[mild meteor]

English sucks none of it makes sense

[lusty spruce]

Except you are an exception

[mild meteor]

You go to other languages and it is said how it is spelled

[brazen basalt]

waow

[brazen basalt]

well yea, a lot of languages do that. once you know the phonetics rules, its easy enough to read anything in a given language

but then english

[vale niche]

ahem polish

[faint hearth]

weirdest word in my opinion is kielbasa

[vale niche]

bunch of s and z next to eachother sound like one sh or something

[faint hearth]

@vale niche how would u pronounce kielbasa

[stuck crest]

like the weapon Schimitar? kinda

[brazen basalt]

english is my native tongue, the only one I know 100% fluently and with an exceptional grasp on, and I still think it shouldnt be the most common language because its so riddled with traps and exceptions

[bronze anchor]

Tbh most western languages are like that

[brazen basalt]

Icelandic has entered the chat

gl learning that

[bronze anchor]

Like dutch is fairly easy, beside when it comes to all exceptions, then we ignore all the rules and 'you just gotta know'

[stuck crest]

look on the bright side, english has a lot of play on words and even lots of jokes and inspiring quotes made from it

[brazen basalt]

there's jokes/puns it cant ever make, though

[stuck crest]

like what specifically

[vale niche]

I think all languages have some grammar "rules" that are just "you gotta remember because normal rules don't apply here"

[brazen basalt]

like it lacks any form of gendered prefixes for inanimate objects, so jokes based on that kind of wordplay make no sense in english

[brazen basalt]

yea pretty much

[stuck crest]

[brazen basalt]

I still remember poking lots of native german speakers about the gendered prefixes thing over the years, and mostly got told no one gets it, even us. just wing it 🤣

[stuck crest]

oh yeah i have a german friend and they said that gender prefixes aren't a thing

its even hard to say i love you in german/dutch

[brazen basalt]

its definitely a thing

example: „der apfel” - masculine prefix. Why? who fucking knows

[stuck crest]

well its probably a thing but like, hard to explain or use it i guess?

yeah...

[vale niche]

yeah it exists but it's hard to explain

[brazen basalt]

like its not gender exactly, more like a...uh

flow of sound that makes sense?

[vale niche]

I once tried to explain to my sister why it's "der schild" instead of "das schild" (both exist) because I was talking about a shield like for sword fighters, while "das Schild" is a sign

[stuck crest]

alot of languages have their own words to simplify alot of meanings

[tranquil quarry]

german is some arbitrary ridiculousness for der das die etc

[brazen basalt]

one thing that still tickles me endlessly about russian is the notable lack of any real form of the.

[tranquil quarry]

my german teacher just said "yep, you'll just have to learn them"

[jovial marsh]

germans hehehe

i have to write papers on germany

[brazen basalt]

kartoffel

anyway,

the explanation made sense once someone told me. Why have "the"? If I say "get in car", you know what car I'm talking about, unless you're stupid. Why the extra word?

really made me think about something as basic as "the"

[mild meteor]

Bro I feel sick asf

[tranquil quarry]

privyet

[brazen basalt]

wat

[jovial marsh]

drink water

[stuck crest]

so with germans, you would have to put more sense into it when talking?

[vale niche]

привет

[jovial marsh]

woah

not english

[brazen basalt]

dude, cyrillic characters still throw me way tf off

[vale niche]

I have a bunch of keyboards installed

[jovial marsh]

i use irish keyboard because its the same one as english

[vale niche]

japanese isn't that hard to type because you just type the prononuciation, but russian is it's own layout so I have to guess where each character is

[fiery meadow]

почему?

[brazen basalt]

wat

[fiery meadow]

why

[brazen basalt]

thats what im asking yes

[jovial marsh]

sach do u know orher la ghGes beaides english

[fiery meadow]

why do they throw you off

[brazen basalt]

i dont even know what language you were attempting there bruh

[brazen basalt]

so many cyrillic characters have similar-looking latin counterparts that I keep mentally hearing them wrong

[stuck crest]

[brazen basalt]

почему is actually a great example of what i mean

[fiery meadow]

eh fair enough

[stuck crest]

hello gweiss~

[fiery meadow]

hi fooni

[vale niche]

the only thing that's confusing me is the difference between ш and щ
On the table I used to learn щ was prononuced shtsh where as ш is just sh but when I watched a video from a native russian speaker they sounded exactly the same

[brazen basalt]

english-phonetically that'd be like pochemuh kinda, but read as latin characters, it looks like no hem ee

[jovial marsh]

eeeee

[sick bloom]

[brazen basalt]

there's nothing wrong with them, its just how my brain reads them 😭

[stuck crest]

@fiery meadow sach has been talking about languages about an hour now, can you believe that?

[brazen basalt]

i love languages

[jovial marsh]

etymology holds the true history which is muddled by passing

[fiery meadow]

yeah that's normal for him lol

[vale niche]

let's talk about moon runes next

[sick bloom]

no

[jovial marsh]

for example the most basic word was pointing at water and saying "AH' or "UH" some european waterways still have waterways named "a"

[brazen basalt]

every language has an interesting history and structure, every one of them

[fiery meadow]

Sach, wait till you see Cyrillic handwriting

[brazen basalt]

i love learning about all of them

[brazen basalt]

nono ive seen cyrillic cursive, you keep that cursed shit away from me 🤣

[stuck crest]

[fiery meadow]

there are many letters that are written the exact same way as another letter but pronounced differently

[jovial marsh]

its interesting we can see languages splitting in real time, japanese is splitting between old and newer urban speak

[vale niche]

I've seen the picture where "лиллий" is just a bunch of cursive lowercase L's lol

[jovial marsh]

some old people and some younger jp cant really communicate at all

[stuck crest]

like see and c?

[fiery meadow]

you'd type и for an "i" sound

[brazen basalt]

heck, ive seen a pretty big divide in german pronounciation between rural/smaller areas and bigger cities

[fiery meadow]

but in handwriting you write an u

[jovial marsh]

it all starts at accents and dialects

[fiery meadow]

yea the s is c

[jovial marsh]

before you know it your slang an accent is a new language

[stuck crest]

[vale niche]

In rural areas in germany people speak dialects, in bigger cities they often also speak dialect but also standard german

[brazen basalt]

right, and the divide gets weird at times

[sick bloom]

theres always dialects

Another reason I bully the south, they sound funny

[brazen basalt]

it mostly throws me with german in particular, since its a language that seemed to try so very hard to standardize

[sick bloom]

and they cant understand a word im saying when im talking

[stuck crest]

rude

[vale niche]

imo the biggest divide in german is youth speech and standard german, because youth speech is heavily influenced by arabic and turkish because of immigrants from those areas

[fiery meadow]

[limpid tinsel]

except me

[fiery meadow]

fooni cute

[jovial marsh]

words hold some of the lost history we forgot

etymology

[fiery meadow]

don't even get me started on Arabic

[stuck crest]

arabic is reverse, but its hella confusing too

[vale niche]

altough not all teens use that kinda youth speech, but it's common on like german meme pages and stuff

[lusty spruce]

Slavs can understand other Slavs in speech but not in writing

[fiery meadow]

every letter has a different way of writing it depending on where in the word it's placed

[lusty spruce]

Like if Gweiss started talking in Russian I wouldn't have a problem getting what he is talking about

[vale niche]

slav languages are just "vodka blyat" /s

[fiery meadow]

and the letters look the same but change pronunciation depending on where the dot is

[brazen basalt]

cheeki breeki

idfk

my grasp of russian is tenuous at best

[limpid tinsel]

Jetski

[stuck crest]

imagine a language's word being pronounced only because of 1 letter changes in a word, thats misleading

[fiery meadow]

and there are 3 major endings with an a e and u, which can be combined with any letter in any word

[brazen basalt]

we're forgetting the best language ever - finnish

[lusty spruce]

Icelanding

[vale niche]

Isn't the inuit language like that?

[brazen basalt]

icelandic hates everyone, pea

[stuck crest]

am unsure

[jovial marsh]

finnish is masculine japanese

[vale niche]

I think I remember watching a video about that language and it was something like a core component is the pronounciation and you just add stuff to the left and right that don't really change the pronounciation

[jovial marsh]

japanese is feminine finnish

[lusty spruce]

Give it some love!

[brazen basalt]

[brazen basalt]

you forgot "paska", gel

[jovial marsh]

its been years since i dated the finn who taught me all that stuff!

[brazen basalt]

isnt it weird that finns mostly share profanity and little else

[jovial marsh]

profanity and how to proclaim your love lol

xD

[brazen basalt]

well i havent gotten that part, obviously :p

[jovial marsh]

oh and lots about of booze

[brazen basalt]

(not dating a fin)

oh yea, tons of booze words

o l u t

[jovial marsh]

finns are what we all agreed are the if autistic people could form a country, the country

because of how they all act to eachother

standoffish yet friendly distant yet communal

[brazen basalt]

ngl i kinda dig their social space thing

[jovial marsh]

its comfy

[brazen basalt]

keep 3m away from me, im good with that

why does anyone need to be in someone else's personal bubble unless theyre intimate or about to fight >:U

finns got that right

[jovial marsh]

for the most part

they do

i like their accents

[brazen basalt]

lot more rolling Rs than i even hear in various spanish dialects

[jovial marsh]

i like it more than spanishes rolls

not too fond of spanish tbh

[brazen basalt]

i have a favorable bias for it

but with reason

that im married to >_>

ofc there's lots of types of spanish

[lusty spruce]

How about no

[brazen basalt]

pea i stg

u keep away from me

or i will

say mean things

[tranquil quarry]

this is very weird because then they all get naked and into a sauna together

[sick bloom]

Well yeah but that doesn't really count you are originally a cool northerner

[brazen basalt]

it seems assumed that if youre getting in a sauna with others, you dont hate them, and probably know them. :p

[sick bloom]

Now just little baby southerner

[brazen basalt]

french is interesting coz its a lot easier to sound out once the rules are apparent, but the rules are almost deliberately designed to be hard XD

[jovial marsh]

my bias towards spanish didnt stop my last ex from being spanish, hehe

natural biases exist but are not end all be alls

[brazen basalt]

very true yes

Pretty sure only sache is older than you

It's really nothing against anyone, the age rule is an industry-wide compliance thing. We literally cannot allow anyone confirmed or suspected to be below a certain age threshold onto certain services.

[jovial marsh]

for good reason

[brazen basalt]

for damned good reason

[limpid tinsel]

Just couple days till I'm even older

[brazen linden]

People stop talking to me once they find out I’m married. Is this normal?

[brazen basalt]

no

those people are dumb

[sick bloom]

Why does it matter smh

[lusty spruce]

You talk to people that only want one thing then

[sick bloom]

Also imagine getting married lul

[brazen basalt]

ive been married over 20 years, it matters to no one who matters to me lol

im not dating randos, why the hecc should my marriage status matter to them

mock them, zy

[limpid tinsel]

imagine having someone to share your life with ;-;

[sick bloom]

[brazen basalt]

you know something

[lusty spruce]

[brazen basalt]

if youre not marrid

it only means

the perfect match for you just hasnt loaded into your instance yet. but theyre there.

[jovial marsh]

i think my trust is too shot currently to live with someone else, id love to try some day in the future, though, marriage seems scary

[brazen basalt]

im a grumpy, self-centered asshole, and even i found a good match

if i can, anyone can

[sick bloom]

Look so far every relationship ive had has gone fucky wucky and bad

[brazen linden]

Thank you lol Yeah some of my friends meet potential SO in the worlds there so it’s possible

[brazen basalt]

then those werent matches, don

[sick bloom]

waw you dont say

[brazen basalt]

ikr

galaxy brain takes up in here

[sick bloom]

my luck with picking girls just poopoo though

I think I need some higher standards

[brazen basalt]

best luck i had was when i stopped looking

seriously

[brazen linden]

Someday people will be answering question like: So how did you meet? And they’ll answer VR haha

[sick bloom]

I mean thats what im doing

I havent actively looked for anyone

[limpid tinsel]

m-maybe you should look further than girls 😇

[sick bloom]

Look ive already admitted, femboys are fine to a certain degree

[jovial marsh]

Bread

[sick bloom]

but still straight

[jovial marsh]

No not how that works

[sick bloom]

clearly how that works

[brazen basalt]

could be worse. you couldve had the ex i had who wrote a breakup letter in their own blood to me

and really that was the mildest thing she did

[brazen linden]

We were even talking about making it into a thesis topic: Effect of VR in modern day relationships lol

[sick bloom]

Oh yeah I think you told that story before sache

Or maybe I know people that all had weird exes

[brazen basalt]

probably did

[jovial marsh]

so you are omega with the loon exs

[brazen basalt]

wat

[sick bloom]

I mean I had one that would scratch me actively, I dont know why but all I did to get back was slap booty sometimes

I think she must've been a real catgirl or something

[jovial marsh]

Omega was another ol man I knew

He reminds me of ya

[brazen basalt]

no idea who that is

[jovial marsh]

o

[sick bloom]

he was in this discord

[brazen basalt]

but yes this ex apparently felt the need to detail how i was literally the devil incaranate on this earth

which was an interesting take

[sick bloom]

if youre talking about that omega

Actually it mightve been that omega that said something about crazy exes

[limpid tinsel]

there are so many people in this discord

[sick bloom]

good observation suni

[brazen basalt]

ofc there was the ex that was just using me as a placeholder for her dead ex

i could go on but you get the idea

it doesnt always work out 🤣

[sick bloom]

I mean my experience is basically, manipulative girls that cheated

and then when I was a smol boy I did the stupid thing of edating and I quickly learned thats not the way to go

[brazen basalt]

couldnt even imagine doing that

[sick bloom]

It was lonely hours

[limpid tinsel]

kinda the reason why i stopped looking at girls i guess

[sick bloom]

Fair, women are kinda biches mostly

sussy

[limpid tinsel]

oh, i had it way before vrchat xD

[brazen basalt]

ppl like what they like. 🤷

[sick bloom]

I'm surprised its been only 4 years since ive had a proper gf

it feels like forever ago but is 4 years really that long ago

[brazen basalt]

never understood why anyone got upset about someone's orientation/preferences

[limpid tinsel]

i see a lot of friends that play vrchat suddenly say "oh im trans now" in my mind it goes like "no you arent, you are just confused"
but thats mean so i wont

[sick bloom]

I mean suni, its better to tell people to really think about something like that

[brazen basalt]

figure it this way: would someone get mad at another person for preferring blondes over brunettes?

no? then why or how is it different than liking guys over girls? 🤷

[sick bloom]

It's why it's uncomfortable seeing those twitter kids at like 13/14 with trans in their bio

[brazen basalt]

idfk

[sick bloom]

I dont really care how someone looks like

well I do slightly

[brazen basalt]

how someone is, matters a lot more to me than how they appear

[sick bloom]

I dont want someone that looks like an unhealthy hobo

[brazen basalt]

oh you hate me then don

rude

af

[sick bloom]

but personality yes

[limpid tinsel]

xD

[sick bloom]

No sache beards are for cool people

[brazen basalt]

then howd i get one
chekmaet

[sick bloom]

atleast well looked after beards

[ember rock]

Nice pfp

[limpid tinsel]

tbh i dont mind seeing beards.. but body hear is a bit ew 😅

[sick bloom]

Well, I am literally monke

[brave elk]

It helps one survive the winter.

[brazen basalt]

yknow i dont know many ppl that like body hair on anyone

a wild atiash appears

[ember rock]

||armpit hair 🤤||

[limpid tinsel]

a reason why i did laser treatment, because i hated mine

[brazen basalt]

the only thing worse than bodyhair is weeb

[sick bloom]

I have so much hair I think its impossible to get rid off

[brazen basalt]

jk ily weebs

[sick bloom]

ah yes I love being called by random numbers

[brazen basalt]

wut

oh like actually called lol

im sick, shup

brain's half off

[sick bloom]

sache doesnt get phone calls, oh how sad

[brave elk]

Every time I've opened a voice mail in the recent like year, it's been a recorded message in a foreign language.

[brazen basalt]

spam blockers do wonders to cut those calls out

[wise falcon]

have you tried restarting jtt

[brazen basalt]

didnt work, just woke up confused

[wise falcon]

awh

[sick bloom]

for some reason it doesnt block out spam calls

probably because they use dutch numbers

[brazen basalt]

must have dozens of "expired car warranty" voicemails im ignoring

[limpid tinsel]

hi, do you want to try out the game i made and tell me what you think about it?

||sends; totallynotavirus.exe||

[sick bloom]

[brave elk]

If I had a dime for every time someone I thought was wiser than that opened a random exe on discord, I'd have a coffee to help me wake up this morning.

Internet security stuff needs to be mainstream again, like it was in the earlier stages of the world wide web.

[limpid tinsel]

not to mention the free "nitro" gifts

[sick bloom]

waw so many generous people

[brave elk]

I'm surprised credit card companies haven't yelled at discord for chargebacks on 300$ worth of nitro.

[brazen basalt]

I've screamed til blue in the face that people need to be less cavalier about their online presence/behavior but noooooooooooooooooooo

stop all the clickingggg

and stuff

[sick bloom]

I luckily aint that dum

I'm dumb, but not that dumb

Like just intelligent enough for basic features

[surreal oracle]

With the influx we see around here, it seems plenty of people are

[sick bloom]

Dumb people will always exist

[brave elk]

I can sorta understand the whole, "People who aren't very educated in internet security get a DM from a friend" thing, which is why I think internet security education should just be mainstream.

[brazen basalt]

it should be

hire me to yell at schoolchildren. $500/hr. may or may not show up drunk

[limpid tinsel]

special for you Don i have free farmer simulator for you!

[brazen basalt]

(i dont actually drink)

[sick bloom]

[brazen basalt]

suni makin fun of u again m8

[sick bloom]

I already got farming sim

[brazen basalt]

ofc u do

[sick bloom]

And euro truck and American truck

[brazen basalt]

eurotruck sim is legit a good game tho

[sick bloom]

I need a better wheel

[limpid tinsel]

its the newest that hasnt come out yet, you will be one of the frst!

[sick bloom]

I miss my thrustmaster t300rs

[brave elk]

I think the best part of having a wheel was using it to play games it clearly wasn't meant for, honestly.

[sick bloom]

Suni why would you even try to get information on me in the first place smh

[limpid tinsel]

ah yes, playing shooter games with a wheel

[sick bloom]

When vrchat steering wheel

[brazen basalt]

ppl can barely navigate social situations as it is, a wheel wont help

[sick bloom]

The only thing I can't navigate is big cities

[brave elk]

I navigate social situations by remaining completely silent.

[sick bloom]

Too many twists turns and being run over

[brave elk]

I have a track record of being in discord calls or teamspeak or whatever, and just not speaking for hours.

[hallow sapphire]

almost overheated my quest

[brazen basalt]

I write a lot more than I talk. Silence in calls, very normal.

[wise falcon]

my friend fell victim to those and i received the scam from him at like 2 pm

[brave elk]

Exactly.

[fiery meadow]

bruh

[brazen basalt]

Only gonna talk if I have something of substance to add, but I see no point in filling silences just to do so.

[limpid tinsel]

rip

[sick bloom]

I used to be a bit more shy etc but working at a register fixed it

I barely give a damn diddly shit and will just pop in

[brave elk]

Pointless small talk is just so... pointless.

[brazen basalt]

it really is

[limpid tinsel]

im still shy and mostly mute xD

[sick bloom]

Aw smol baby

Well I can imagine one reason so it also makes sense

[brazen basalt]

Ati arent you something like late 20s?

literally just guessing here

[brave elk]

Mid.

[sick bloom]

Old

[wise falcon]

yeah ikr
i prefer staring into the other person's soul

[brazen basalt]

Something about how you are reminds me of my 20s and it's very weird

[sick bloom]

WeeW have you heard of hoppous

Staring into the soul is the way

[wise falcon]

yes ive seen them literally everywhere

[sick bloom]

I never see them

[brazen basalt]

not bad, just weird

[brave elk]

I'm just you, but ||not even cooler||.

[sick bloom]

[brazen basalt]

yet

[sick bloom]

Atiash it's time to grow a beard and get manly but introverted

[brave elk]

Oh you have no idea.

[brazen basalt]

ngl I was a pretty angry 20s person though

like...perpetually mad at nothing

[wise falcon]

atiash it's time to do the adult

[brave elk]

I probably have the longest beard currently present in this room.

[sick bloom]

I am regenerating mine after my sister stole it again

[brazen basalt]

mine's already on this server, your turn

[sick bloom]

anytime she appears my beard disappears, weird

[brave elk]

Oh?

[brazen basalt]

I've posted it like 3 times now lol

[brave elk]

You have to understand, I'm in school most of the time.

Or at work.

[limpid tinsel]

smooth skin ^^

[sick bloom]

[limpid tinsel]

i have

[brazen basalt]

who even works during the day

[sick bloom]

But is it soft

[brave elk]

I unfortunately have to or student loans would eat me.

I make literally just enough to offset my rent.

[limpid tinsel]

hmmhmm, using moisturizer every day

[brazen basalt]

been there

[sick bloom]

very cool

[brazen basalt]

okay here's a not-processed image from months ago

[sick bloom]

I cant work because of school times

[brazen basalt]

ignore cat

[brave elk]

Alright hold on.

[limpid tinsel]

big cat

[sick bloom]

I never noticed the tattoo

[brazen basalt]

he is a chonk

covered in em, don

[sick bloom]

I only got one for my sister

I should get it reworked sometime, and maybe expand on it

[brazen basalt]

dewit

[sick bloom]

it went a bit dull because it was just a cheap job

I want my tattoos to have meaning though!

[brazen basalt]

yes?

XD

[brave elk]

The only good picture I have is like a year old

[wise falcon]

my attention is directly on the cat

[brazen basalt]

my reflex is to say "post" but that's a bit presumptuous on my part

[brave elk]

Fine.

[brazen basalt]

see that's a proper beard too

[brave elk]

Beard is about 30% longer.

[sick bloom]

holy shit its gabe newell

[wise falcon]

holy shit

[sick bloom]

Im sorry atiash

[wise falcon]

nice bear d

[brazen basalt]

lot more hair than ive got tho

used to have a lot more but then oldman baldness

in one weirdly specific place. so any long hair now just looks like a sad attempt to hide it

and i dont care about it that much XD

[sick bloom]

mine is very meh not even worth showing

[brave elk]

I'm just enjoying it while I've got it.

[brazen basalt]

yis

[brave elk]

My dad never went bald, just silvered real well. But with the amount of hair that comes off of my head, it's a constant thought in my mind.

[brazen basalt]

I basically had a mohawk cut (sans all the work putting it up), but once that spot kicked in, it just came out bizarre

[sick bloom]

sponsored by keeps

[brazen basalt]

well shedding isnt weird

key place to look is your mom's side. baldness comes from that half

[sick bloom]

I mean yeah I drop some hair here and there but it comes back in a week

I will never go bald then

[limpid tinsel]

Same

[sick bloom]

unless I do it on purpose

[brave elk]

Her hair just got SUPER thin.

[brazen basalt]

ah but thin != bald

calling that a win

[brave elk]

Time to celebrate.

[sick bloom]

My dads hair though, I call him a voetbalstip because the middle has nothing its all on the side

[limpid tinsel]

Get anti boy tables, and baldness will stop

[brazen basalt]

wat

[sick bloom]

Suni is trying to turn people into girls

[wise falcon]

women aren't real!!!!!

[brazen basalt]

i mean im at that age where a bald spot is just what happens, it doesnt bother me lol

[limpid tinsel]

Neither are you

[sick bloom]

[wise falcon]

yes

take your schizophrenic pills

[sick bloom]

Anyways, suni does that mean I shouldnt trust your tea

[limpid tinsel]

Huh?

[sick bloom]

drugged tea in a new type of way

[limpid tinsel]

Just don't mind the weird taste, it's flavored

[sick bloom]

Is it mango

I like mango tea

[limpid tinsel]

Let me see if I have mango tea, i always had 🤔

[sick bloom]

you better

[jovial marsh]

Hello

[brave elk]

don specifically stole the word

[sick bloom]

that'd require me to be some omnipotent creature that hasnt aged since the netherlands started

[brazen basalt]

so you admit it

[sick bloom]

now I cant deny that or confirm it

[jovial marsh]

In study hall what anime should I watch?

[sick bloom]

Didn't post a cat

[sick bloom]

Only one real cat

[viscid kraken]

fine

[limpid tinsel]

[brazen basalt]

CAT

[viscid kraken]

yes

[brave elk]

An impostor if you would.

[brazen basalt]

a cat that is sus, perhaps

[grand bone]

😹

[brazen basalt]

pea

that cat is irrationally happy

[fiery meadow]

happy to touch femboy

[lusty spruce]

ye Pixel loves me a lot

[viscid kraken]

sus?

[lusty spruce]

so are you

[fiery meadow]

so I couldn't find my cat, after 20m of searching for her, I find her downstairs in the sink

[fiery meadow]

no that's gay

[brave elk]

Every cat I have ever lived with has slept in empty sinks.

[fiery meadow]

tucked in kitties

[sick bloom]

They like sinks

[viscid kraken]

blep

[sick bloom]

When I'm done showering my cat comes in and sits in the sink

[limpid tinsel]

mine also visits me when im done showering

guess its a cat thing

[limpid tinsel]

[sick bloom]

Pea is messy

Last cat and shoe reveal but now I go to store

[lusty spruce]

it was an improv because my friend was internetless and we had a very important exam

[brazen basalt]

we need to talk about that mini keyboard pea

this

[jovial marsh]

Someone wrote this on the bathroom at school lol

[unreal hill]

Does anyone know if this will be enough room to use vr once all the boxes have been removed?

[jovial marsh]

Depends

[lusty spruce]

Shh it looks like this now

[jovial marsh]

Waht games you gonna play?

[unreal hill]

Blade and sorcery, vrchat

[jovial marsh]

VRchat ya

[brazen basalt]

is that a pi youve hooked it up to

[unreal hill]

If I'm feeling like breaking fingers maybe gorilla tag

[jovial marsh]

Idk about the others

[lusty spruce]

Fuck no that's arduino leonardo

[brave elk]

But what does it do?

[jovial marsh]

Some games you need to move around

Most not

[lusty spruce]

It's for shortcuts, macros stuff like that

[jovial marsh]

You have joysticks for a reason

[brazen basalt]

you basically made a ghetto stream deck, pea 😄

not a bad thing

[lusty spruce]

More or less xd

Can't do a lot of stuff that stream deck can do

[brave elk]

Keyboard keys are more satisfying to push though, so.

[brazen basalt]

yet

they are ngl

[unreal hill]

If I stand on the red and don't walk around, and my arms length is the yellow, that's surely enough, right?

[brazen basalt]

tactile response on keys is much nicer on a board, dont really like the soft membrane feels

[lusty spruce]

Yep I disassembled my broken mechanical keyboard and used its switches for it

[jovial marsh]

You’ll have a guardian and will warn you about objects in front of you

[lusty spruce]

Although those are mx reds so no tactile

[brazen basalt]

youre gonna hit your dresser, and whatever that is to the rear-right (relative) of your position

a lot

[brazen basalt]

but not squishy either

[lusty spruce]

The only other switches I could use are blue but that's a nono

[unreal hill]

I guess I'll see when I actually own vr

[lusty spruce]

And I'm not gonna disassemble my actual keyboard even though it has browns

[brazen basalt]

buy new board just to cannibalize for parts

galaxybrain

don't they sell individual switches/caps? cant imagine they dont

[brave elk]

They do.

[lusty spruce]

Red broke, blue is functional and connected to rpi

[brave elk]

Have you ever looked into like, custom made keyboards?

[lusty spruce]

They are so expensive tho

[brave elk]

Yeah they're really up there.

[lusty spruce]

No idea why tbh

[brave elk]

I don't really understand why,

Like, a 60% keyboard custom is like, half a grand or more.

[wise falcon]

it sounds good that's the only reason

[brave elk]

They do sound and feel extremely nice, but not 600$ nice. Especially when they don't have 40% of the damn keyboard.

[wise falcon]

(joking but wouldn't be surprised if this is actually true)

[lusty spruce]

I was interested in keyboards with a numpad n the left side but then I decided that I'm not gonna go there

$5 numpad will do

[wise falcon]

my keyboard has macro keys on the left and a number pad on the right

[brazen basalt]

i have yea but you pretty much laid out my issues with them. im not shucking out that kind of cash for less keyboard

[wise falcon]

and also more buttons on the top
i have beeg keyboard

[brazen basalt]

some ppl on the team have gotten some variations of them, and seem to like them a lot though

I wouldn't be against having a numpad-less kb, might save some desk real estate, but I'd still want a numpad somewhere

[brave elk]

I mean if I spent 600$ on half a keyboard, I'd need to convince myself it was worth it somehow.

Do you have any idea how many tacos that is.

[brazen basalt]

Right, it'd have to have some pretty amazing features, longevity, or both

far too many tacos would go uneaten

[brave elk]

Not at one time Sach, moderation in all things

On the topic of keyboards, I need a new one soon. Recommendations?

[lusty spruce]

I need to get a taco one day

[brazen basalt]

hm

got a Das Q recently, been digging it so far

well "recently", guess its been nearly a year now

[brave elk]

This thing can display so many random bits of information

Wtf

[brazen basalt]

ngl I use none of that. i just like the board itself

can see where more engineery types would get more use out of a lot of that

[sick bloom]

Back from da store

[brazen basalt]

wb

[brave elk]

I wonder if I can configure it to read and represent data from games.

Not that I ever look at my keyboard while I'm doing anything anyway, but it'd be cool to mess around with.

[sick bloom]

Got some candy from the store for tomorrow

[brave elk]

Post-Halloween candy sale swag?

[sick bloom]

Well sadly we have a thing called 11 november

It's basically Dutch Halloween but less dressing up

And more little kids singing to get some candy

Also have a random cat that always meows at me, he's deaf

[wise falcon]

i used to have a deaf cat everything would scare them

they were nice and didn't know how loud they were because deaf so their purring was so loud it was nice

[tranquil quarry]

Damn that's way too much for me unless it was that one keyboard where every single key was an oled screen... But that was even more expensive

[brave elk]

Honestly my keyboard could be a completely untextured mass, and as long as it sounded cool and worked I'd probably use it.

Some things don't need all the bits and bops they have. Like smart fridges that have cameras inside so you can look into it without opening it.

[lusty spruce]

keyboard needs to do one thing: write letters and have basic function keys. Everything else is optional

[tranquil quarry]

Well then definitely don't buy the 600 USD one lol

[lusty spruce]

oled keys are a nice feature but only a feature

[worldly vessel]

That super cheap extra numpad scares me

You can even get quite decent mechanical ones for less then 30$
Don't get one of the old style low quality flat button rubber dome garbage ones.

[lusty spruce]

not here!

[worldly vessel]

Also, i heard buying 2 and putting one on either side is master mode.

[lusty spruce]

Poland is garbage wen it comes to tech

[worldly vessel]

You can just order on amazon

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08DNSLJPK?th=1

you can also get the clickedy clackedy blue variant

i have a blue one

But yeah, click clack.

[stuck crest]

is that pad for osu or something

[vale niche]

Numpad for the weirdos that buy keyboards without numpads

[worldly vessel]

Or want one on either side

[pastel narwhal]

For osu this would probably be more appropriate https://momokai.com/

[worldly vessel]

Or you know, just your normal keyboard

[pastel narwhal]

I fucked up the Z key on my previous keyboard because of osu :(

[pseudo jetty]

aaaa

[sick bloom]

Ohm do you use z and x for the buttons

[jovial marsh]

you should of got one of those things where its just a single key keyboard

[pseudo jetty]

Morse code keyboard

[lusty spruce]

is that a new thing that discord added?

Discord has been adding a lot of new safety things

I assume it has to do with the scams
