[obtuse oyster]

sheeesh

[cyan fog]

im not even capped for this week

[wintry depot]

because you didnt buy innanaa

[mental cave]

how i see people who have trouble in hard mode but insist on doing hard mode

[modern hatch]

Is the end them giving up and doing normal

[mental cave]

yeah if only that was an option

[queen grail]

How far you think this will get me? I'm on 20 now. @obtuse oyster @wintry depot

Shorely 24

[modern hatch]

That much didnt even get me 21.

[queen grail]

[modern hatch]

We are not the same

[frail swallow]

At some point I'll reinstall the game and push my gk...probably when we get a 1710+ pass or something

[queen grail]

EXCUSE ME! That's @swift magnet I have 6 1730+

[mental cave]

so next month

[modern hatch]

Not till june

[mental cave]

they delayed it?

[queen grail]

You have 3 1710's but also 3 1760's?

[swift magnet]

umm

[wintry depot]

was always annoucned it will be in june

[wintry depot]

may is server merges

[queen grail]

Time to watch Aussie bozo die in Hardcore Diablo.

[wintry depot]

isn't june the new raid?

yes

it is

I just swipe for coomer skins slander talk.

[swift magnet]

U big whale

[mental cave]

so new story, new raid, new temp raid, new horiznetals?

[cyan fog]

imagine what i could do with 15-16m PP in this leaderboard

[wintry depot]

new story and raid will be a week later

[swift magnet]

i wants erca cutscenes in memory chamber

fk sg

[frail swallow]

They didn't give an actual ilvl to that pass though, did they?

[wintry depot]

nope

daddy is misinfoing

[mental cave]

if you're a real gooner you'd have her in the memory bank already

[queen grail]

It's fast

[wintry depot]

it will prob be 1710 but yeah

[frail swallow]

I thought so...that would have been something I put in the patch summary

[queen grail]

WHY DO WE GET SO FEW SKINS!

[wintry depot]

thats what people expect tho

[queen grail]

THIS GAME

[mental cave]

you ain't gooning enough

[wintry depot]

because smilegate was focusing on other things than skins

but they said they will start giving them again more often

[mystic sphinx]

Can we get the hairstyle of gk on everyone else ty

[mental cave]

last one was 1700 since thar was the nm min for then.
now there will be several normal raids at 1710

[wintry depot]

too hard for smilegate

[wintry depot]

yes but its not confirmed

they didnt announce it

[mystic sphinx]

Indie game dev

[queen grail]

Then hire a Art Team that's only focused on skins they have the money and will make money on it

[wintry depot]

did yous ee

[queen grail]

Fucking

[wintry depot]

when dpsmeter guy

[mental cave]

im confirming it right now. I called jeff

[wintry depot]

was saying the kr code was some dogshit spaghetti code

[bleak zinc]

xD

[mystic sphinx]

I cant be surprised

With how unıptimized game is

[wintry depot]

wait let me get it again

[paper scroll]

I mean if I had to choose between skins or qol and new content release I pick the latter, game alrdy has good looking characters with decent skins

[dull obsidian]

average f2p roster

[cyan fog]

quite a few high profile games have dogshit code

[paper scroll]

Worse than spaghetti

[mystic sphinx]

Not as bad as yandere simulator

I hope

[paper scroll]

Can’t upgrade to URE5 due to how fked code is

Can’t even update the high heel feet of female chars

[mystic sphinx]

Upgrading the engine at this point will do more harm than good

[cyan fog]

apex legends released in 2019 and only this year they managed to implement "fast track" patches i.e. can fix/balance things in 2 weeks instead of waiting for the 3 month split to be over

[wintry depot]

[mystic sphinx]

Because the team is likely too comfortable with ue3 they cant re-learn the entire engine on ue5

[mystic sphinx]

Oh god

[wintry depot]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAA

[mystic sphinx]

Literally newbie mistake

[queen grail]

Why Is it one or the other? You have different people for different tasks, the guy making your QOL is not the guy making your skins.

[mystic sphinx]

AMAZON WHERE SERVER

[paper scroll]

Coz they don’t actually have diff ppl working for diff tasks they are recycling

[wintry depot]

you dont know if theres a dedicated skins team tho

[cyan fog]

QoL where

[queen grail]

Then they are trash.

[paper scroll]

The skins ppl are probably working on new art for new raids etc

[queen grail]

[cyan fog]

its 2026 and we have only just implemented group apply to party finder

[modern hatch]

Not trash
Just a small indie company please understand

[cyan fog]

in the most shit way possible btw

[modern hatch]

Doing their best to provide for us

[queen grail]

Fair, I forgot, small indie company

My bad

[wintry depot]

they also talked about they have a weird engine, ue3 but with more changes and more quality

soooo yeah

[frail swallow]

That...uhm. People who do skin renders and animation =/= the same people doing QoL systems/features updates/reworks. Not even remotely the same skillset or even education.

[paper scroll]

Large corps never do well since all the profits go to overhead

[paper scroll]

But they can work on new design for new boss, raids, npcs etc which is included in the list of stuff I said originally

[queen grail]

No no, my friend who's a coder is also an amazing guy at making art (Not really)

[cyan fog]

they dont do well because they are fucking idiots

[queen grail]

[frail swallow]

Those are also...not the same skillsets.

[cyan fog]

decisions based on a summary spreadsheet with cute numbers

[frail swallow]

What you're likely thinking of is the priority put on things

[cyan fog]

-36% profit 2025

[frail swallow]

And how things are tasked out to the different teams

[paper scroll]

U grossly underestimate the amount of re assignments and ppl doing stuff outside of their job description coz management wants to save money

[mystic sphinx]

A fork of ue3 that they modified to fit their needs

[paper scroll]

I do pm work all the time even tho I’m an engineer

[mystic sphinx]

Makes things even harder to migrate

[wintry depot]

yeah

[frail swallow]

That would be them laying off those individuals, not shifting them around to a different department

[mystic sphinx]

They need a whole new dev team to sort it out atp

[queen grail]

SG small indie company, It's one guy called Peter doing all the tasks

[frail swallow]

I'm not saying corpo isn't going to corpo, but you're misunderstanding the whole process

[paper scroll]

No way, recycling is the most common method

[wintry depot]

yea but is it even worth atp ?

[queen grail]

[paper scroll]

Lay offs only occur if existing staff can’t be recycled

U think companies want to take chances on new employees? Fk no

[mystic sphinx]

Unless they pull a miracle like cyberpunk and release lost ark anime and pop off again and fix the game with the opportunity of the influx of new playerbase, no

[wintry depot]

yeah

like people dont really care about ue3

west cry because mostly eac

not ue3

[cyan fog]

can i cry for higher quality booba

[wintry depot]

cringe fuck

[cyan fog]

[paper scroll]

EAC is def the biggest issue

[cyan fog]

maybe thats a 2017 PC issue on god

[swift tree]

What they were saying was they modified UE3 so much that it closer resembles an in-house studio engine than actual UE3.
Which is true tbh.

[wintry depot]

na, cutscenes doesnt look that great because of the engine

[paper scroll]

Ue3 is old but kr art is good so it covers it up

[wintry depot]

but it could be worse

[frail swallow]

It isn't that they take chances, its that they will more likely lay off higher paid workers and then hire workers they don't have to pay as much. Also likely on contract instead of a more prolonged employment.

[wintry depot]

i dont even watch them anyway

who cares about cutscenes hehe

i cant read anyway

[wintry depot]

yeah ty for the precision

[cyan fog]

chances are they're speaking korean or its completely silent so you cant understand what they're saying anyway

[paper scroll]

Existing employees have proven historical data they can use to assess, new employees are much more risky, u assume that new employees will take less pay when it’s often the opposite, how do u get a pay bump? By leaving and applying to a new role

just outsource the work for cheap what the helly

hiring is not the thing anymore

[paper scroll]

Contract gig work etc is more common these days

[frail swallow]

Depends on the company, but yeah sure. Also yes, outsourcing is also a thing. I've seen openings from third party companies looking for CMs or QA.

[swift tree]

because they’re a Korean company, not a pump n dump crypto scam posing as a tech startup

[cyan fog]

and ? 3-6 months training + salaries + people to train them + taking that "risk" vs outsource that shit to someone who can do it for you in 2-3 weeks at the standard you need

or just vibe code it with claude who cares

[mystic sphinx]

its more of the implementation than the ac itself tbh, again shitcode

[paper scroll]

Grads and ppl who can’t make a profit immediately, especially
Those who need training r cooked

[swift tree]

KR/JP might hate each other but one thing they have in common is “staying loyal to the company”
They prefer to do as much in-house as possible.

[paper scroll]

Now days companies want u to make profit day 1

[wintry depot]

maybe but its a fact only our version runs shitty XD

[cyan fog]

i have heard some nightmare things about JP working culture tbh

[frail swallow]

Because it is a nightmare

[wintry depot]

prob same for kr

[frail swallow]

They will drive you to quit before they fire you

[paper scroll]

But good news is just coz something can be outsourced doesn’t mean the cheaper staff is better

[wintry depot]

with the suicide rates

[mystic sphinx]

le ignored child we are

[paper scroll]

Alot of cheap hires or outsourced company is total garbage

[wintry depot]

https://www.twitch.tv/toyafk/clip/BoldBlightedLarkLeeroyJenkins-WxzPuj9gBjnGbRg2?filter=clips&range=7d what the

[swift tree]

EAC is band-aided onto the version of the game that gets shipped to CN/RU/KR without it. So no surprise it runs like ass

[paper scroll]

So those who are experts in their field will always eventually have a job if not just to babysit these lowly paid clowns

[mystic sphinx]

Always the bandaid solutions

[swift tree]

I mean, Smilegate doesn’t want to juggle multiple projects for the one game. that just makes sense

[paper scroll]

The amount of larping coming from the cheap service companies also forces keeping on a % of highly skilled staff to keep quality high

[mystic sphinx]

Well they have loam

[cyan fog]

$$$$$$

[swift tree]

different studio team

[mystic sphinx]

The issue is

[swift tree]

hell, until last Nov LOAM was a different company

[mystic sphinx]

If they can send a different team to port loa to mobile, they CAN improve the pc version team

but apparently cba

[slender sky]

18m gold

[cyan fog]

$$$$$$$

[dull obsidian]

yeh its their own version of UE3

[swift tree]

if by “port” you mean send over the 3D assets to remake/convert to UE5…

[mystic sphinx]

I assume loam makes more money

Cuz mobile gamers

Are idots

[dull obsidian]

I heard LOAM was giga sadge

[wintry depot]

is loam even out rn

[dull obsidian]

ye in KR

[swift tree]

Just in KR

[wintry depot]

i dont hear anything about it ngl

[dull obsidian]

because its shit

lol

[swift tree]

think another closed beta

[mystic sphinx]

Its the same game with twists just migrated to a diff platform

[slender sky]

uhh

[mystic sphinx]

Exaggeratedly oversimplified version of loa

[slender sky]

do you think they just copy pasted the games code over and switched the =PC to =M and called it a day or?

[dull obsidian]

the only thing LOAM has over LOA is mercenaries lol

I personally believe mercenaries/AI and solo raids should be 3 raids behind

[cyan fog]

they ran it through opus and said "port to mobile pls"

[viscid sand]

I need this conversion technology

[mystic sphinx]

?

[wintry depot]

om john is going into tfm again

[slender sky]

im sure some ppl genuinely think it works that way

[obtuse oyster]

he helping the community get their tfm clears

what a hero

[mystic sphinx]

Idk how that relates to what i said

[cyan fog]

its cus porting something to mobile especially if the underlying code is dogwater is probably a massive undertaking

• engine diff

[wintry depot]

idk if hero or masochism

[mystic sphinx]

I didnt say they ported it by copy pasting pc to mobile

Yet i get called out

[modern hatch]

Both

[slender sky]

coz u make it sound like they snapped their fingers and it was done when they had to do the entire thing from the ground up and the only thing the 2 games have in common is the backstory lmao

[swift tree]

yea but actually making that would have been from scratch as new scripts, code, core systems would need to be rewritten to suit UE5

[frail swallow]

To be fair, there needs to be some way to get in industry experience especially when companies are looking to fill "entry" positions but want you to already have 3+ years of experience in "the same or similar role".

[swift tree]

so basically they took all the mistakes from LOAPC and expensively carried the same errors

[mystic sphinx]

Im not saying its easy or hard, im saying knowing how time consuming it is, it could be done to pc too and improve things

[supple surge]

[swift magnet]

[swift tree]

main improvement so far is just the new engine and first act being rewritten.

Apparently KR hates the use of AI in the stronghold.

[mystic sphinx]

ue5 graphics would prob make lost ark not lost ark anymore

[swift tree]

Mercenary mode like Ishy said yeah could 💯 be an improvement to LOA PC.

… Wonder if UE3 can’t handle parsing npc-ai (no not that kind) fast enough

Since npcs were fairly simple for most of UE3

[paper scroll]

This is the catch 22, grads and juniors can’t get jobs, no one wants to train them so unemployment around 18-25 is at record highs, meanwhile seniors like me are swamped af with work doing like 4 ppls roles

[swift tree]

I mean they could fudge it a bit by having them just visually fight but that would look pretty ass

[stuck vortex]

Gw1 had Npc aka heroes that worked like players

[viscid sand]

Slightly more ai than our sidereals just walking around and sending out one attack every 10s

[stuck vortex]

lol

[cyan fog]

oblivion had radiant AI in 2006

[stuck vortex]

Well they had Npc plus heroes if you wanted full party

[swift tree]

different engine

[frail swallow]

Thats generally been my issue trying to get into the industry. Can't seem to get anything entry level even if I were looking to try and push through QA and into a role on Community teams.

[cyan fog]

also just kindof a lie and horrific

[swift tree]

Entry Level at this point is “ship your own game” if you don’t have an industry connection

[slow saddle]

entry level is long gone in this age

and they expect people to be above the curve if they're stepping into a field

if theres nothing that separates one college kid from another, cant expect things to work out

[swift tree]

Industry is fucked in about 20 years

[paper scroll]

It’s by design, not much u can do, just understanding that ur a liability and to turn u into an asset will cost the company money/time so its easier for them to just hire someone already experienced.

This trend won’t go away until we have a shortage of people willing to take roles, which is not any time soon

[slow saddle]

thats why i advise folks to take school seriously, get certifications, take on internships, and do small projects to build a portfolio

alongside networking

[neon cedar]

my roster only knows rats

[paper scroll]

They would rather try replace entry roles with ai than to train any entry lvl ppl

[slow saddle]

dont expect to coast and get a degree thinking thats enough

[cyan fog]

i dont think anyone expects a degree to be enough in this day and age

[frail swallow]

I have like 10+ years of doing community related stuff for video games. God forbid I find a role like that much less an employer that would give me the time of day. At least not yet so far in my experience.

[slow saddle]

its not but kids are delusional these days too is what im saying

[paper scroll]

U pretty much need to take gig work to build up ur resume

[viscid sand]

Gotta work with professors with intent, rather than just going in and out of school for the degree. Most profs I knew always had some side project that they're willing to outsource to exceptional students.

[slow saddle]

i never see these issues of finding a career/job for kids who go above and beyond, who are bright, show more effort, etc

its usually 'everyone else'

[paper scroll]

If the barrier to entry is high enough u will get hired regardless

So ur jobs barrier to entry isn’t that high

[slow saddle]

even for mid to high level roles i had to hire for

it was so easy to weed out people who coasted or spent a lot of time thinking they'd get somewhere

without showing for more

weeded out applicants left n right and spotted rats among the interviews i did

[paper scroll]

My friends who studied dentistry which has a very high barrier to entry all found jobs immediately upon graduating in my country

But an accountant or worse, marketing major, probably 80% no job relating to their major

[slow saddle]

marketing is a complete bust

so much of it got replaced by double dipping into competent IT folks that can do the same thing

while creative design is outsourced

[cyan fog]

its also because what you study in university is more likely 20 year old outdated garbage that you will never use in your actual employments in that field

[slow saddle]

yup

plus the 'by the books' type of personalities, get shot real quick when they no longer have the ability to critically think on their own OR find answers

[cyan fog]

the degree in that sense is basically just a paper to say "hello i can basically function as a human being and i follow instructions and can google things"

[slow saddle]

thats why quite a few degrees get thrown out the window like business administration

i was supposed to go to college for medicine

that took a turn coming from a poor family

i tried but i was offered a new world in shifting career and seized that opportunity

[cyan fog]

i kinda regret going to uni tbh

[slow saddle]

i couldnt stomach going into debt from it

[paper scroll]

Pick a career based on what markets wants/needs over what u wanna do is generally a good idea unless u think ur top 1% who is gonna make it big, then u can literally do what u want

[cyan fog]

im still 20k in the hole

[weary ridge]

do we use now on this week or wait for next week?

[slow saddle]

rip

[cyan fog]

but you can do so much more in 4 years comparatively than what you do in university

[paper scroll]

I paid off my loan only to get a mortgage so I’m cooked for next 20 yrs xD

[cyan fog]

the kicker is the networking and placement year

[burnt tree]

Coming reset with last floor

[cyan fog]

the value of that alone is kinda mega

[obtuse oyster]

next week unless you're trying to hold a rank between 1 and 100

[slow saddle]

i took a bit under that money you're debt in for uni and used it as a down payment for a house at the age of 19

greatest thing i did

now its like what

12 years

house price tripled, career more built

[paper scroll]

I bought a piece of land 10 yrs ago and now it’s still the same price, got cooked

[slow saddle]

couldve gone to college through equity after 2-3 years if i wanted to

[cyan fog]

Aren't you US tho

[slow saddle]

I am

[cyan fog]

Your total uni debt is like 5x mine unless I'm mistaken

And I came out with 40 in the hole

[slow saddle]

yeah its giga expensive here but i dont factor in large or out of state colleges

[viscid sand]

The thing is that for the most part, most ppl go uni because they either don't know what they want to do or they feel like it's a mandatory step. So they just treat it like school when it's just a networking program in disguise

[queen grail]

How fucking cheap of a house did you get to get approved for a down payment off a house when you're 19 and a brokie student?

[slow saddle]

i make the assumption people are stupid and go to community college

[paper scroll]

Ikr

[slow saddle]

i wasnt a student tho, i immediately picked up a summer job which turned into a full time job

i was making $13/hr

[paper scroll]

I had to put down 250k down payment for my land

[neon cedar]

@fresh flint

[cyan fog]

U can find entry level houses aly

[slow saddle]

and the house was $180k

[cyan fog]

My friend bought his first house for 85k

[paper scroll]

No wonder

[slow saddle]

in the US, you get first time buyers help

[weary ridge]

I see next week then thanks 🐐

[queen grail]

I might get a cardbox or something for that.

[slow saddle]

reminder, this was 2014/2015

[paper scroll]

In my city avg house price is 1mill, totally cooked for anyone earning less than 200k

[slow saddle]

the solution is as simple as getting the fuck out

[paper scroll]

Can’t coz my job is there

[slow saddle]

i had to move really far and it was worth it

[paper scroll]

If I want high pay I need to be there

[slow saddle]

at a young age, taking that risk worked fine

[queen grail]

The solution is to take a time-machine back in time to when the market and economy was less fucked

[cyan fog]

Don't get me wrong it wasn't a great house and lots of things needed improvement and fixing, but you chill on that for 2 years make your improvements

Suddenly you sell that for 110k and you can buy a nice house

[queen grail]

https://giphy.com/gifs/back-to-the-future-delorean-regreso-al-futuro-7TZvWKVkm0xXi

[slow saddle]

no reason to be locked down somewhere when you're young

[paper scroll]

If I go to some 180k house town my salary will also tank

[slow saddle]

i took the L to drive 60 miles a day to work

for almost 5-6 years

[paper scroll]

Nice, that works

[slow saddle]

then eventually things got to a point where remote became a thing

[paper scroll]

Yeah that’s def a good option

[slow saddle]

point is, its a sacrifice and early investment thats worth the struggle, regardless of the pay, if it sets you up for long term success

[paper scroll]

I was too busy gaming till 2am for that shit xD

[cyan fog]

same ngl

[slow saddle]

me too

[paper scroll]

Can’t be waking up at like 5am to get to work on 60mile commute

[cyan fog]

too many drugs during 18-22 to be doing shit like that fr

[slow saddle]

but id break myself getting low amount of sleep just to enjoy both worlds of being an adult and gaming

[queen grail]

I think It's a bit, naive to think everyone can just do this too, at least now in 2026 unless we are just talking about back in the day's kinda vibes.

[slow saddle]

no one is saying thats what people should do today

[queen grail]

D4 new zone

[cyan fog]

it fully depends on your gameplan

[slow saddle]

its just advising to be mindful of decision making

not 'what to do'

[cyan fog]

and your conviction to that plan

[paper scroll]

It’s not like u have a choice, if market conditions r tough then u tough it out otherwise, cooked

[slow saddle]

today, its a lot more competitive of a world and the job market is more rough

[swift magnet]

[slow saddle]

things are also more expensive

meaning there is also a new minimum benchmark for being a functional adult

[frail swallow]

I mean 2016 doesn't seem like that long ago, but it is 10 years ago and even that is an entirely different environment

[mystic sphinx]

just replace everyone with ai

[paper scroll]

Ai too dumb, prolly need another 30 yrs development

[slow saddle]

with the brainrot of a generation we have now, if folks dont step up, they're getting outscaled quicker than they can catch up to

its a rough world

[frail swallow]

I should have tried getting into CM work back then but I got so burnt out by that point doing what I had been doing I literally took a break from it.

[queen grail]

I mean, most people in terms of housing and rent's are cooked

I'm just glad my rent is dirt cheap.

[cyan fog]

I still dont think it's unrealistic to start working at 16-17 while living at your parents and have some decent savings by 20-21 with some smart investments and have enough to put a downpayment and work up from there

[frail swallow]

Also I was being a lil dipshit and was like "i wanna be a stremur"

[paper scroll]

Nah u just need to get a high paying job

[slow saddle]

AI just a buzz word at this point, no company is seriously replacing people with AI

However, there is a lot of agentic work and learning that does happen where it super supports/closes the knowledge gap for certain levels of employees

[mystic sphinx]

Ai is dumb yes but people are dumber, not very long ago in turkey in news there was a woman who talked to ai and quit her job because ai said so, then she couldnt find a job for months

[queen grail]

my bad, let me go to the job tree and climb to the top to get a top paying job

[paper scroll]

I went to a good school and a lot of my friends studied hard and got high end jobs, all have houses rn

[paper scroll]

Obviously u need to start when ur still at school

U get what u sew kinda thing

[queen grail]

Observer bias <--.

[cyan fog]

most peoples priorities at school is not the future tho

[slow saddle]

i took school seriously af but it let me chill as well

thats because at some point, it clicked in my head that the people sitting in the room with me are going to be a competition against myself

[cyan fog]

and they dont receive good enough guidance to tell them that in 10 years theyre fucked

[paper scroll]

That’s exactly the point if u don’t invest in ur future at a young age then ur cooked unless ur super lucky or have some outstanding talent

[swift magnet]

[cyan fog]

parents diff

[paper scroll]

Since most ppl don’t even know wtf they wanna do till like 25

That’s y they r so cooked

[slow saddle]

theres no time for that

[cyan fog]

what u wanna do is completely irrelevant

[frail swallow]

And thats just "on average"

[slow saddle]

people have to do something quickly, then they can change over time, no biggie

if they sit there twiddling their thumbs for 4 years, they're gonna shoot themselves in the foot

most people dont have that luxury

its not like mommy and daddy can take care of things forever

[frail swallow]

It didn't really click for me what I would like to do for a career until I was like 28 or so, but thats also while doing work just to have a paycheck

[paper scroll]

Ppl go uni change to a diff degree start over again, 2x the debt and some are picking jobs market doesn’t need coz they like it but isn’t in the top x% and wonder y it’s not working out, it’s brutal out there

[cyan fog]

you could also argue its basically easier than ever to succeed since most people are just completely disconnected and rotted that they go day by day just existing

[paper scroll]

Can’t be making emotional decisions to that degree

[slow saddle]

thats good tho, because at least you were working

[frail swallow]

Yeah but its paycheck to paycheck and I would like to get out of it which is why I'm looking for work in the game industry.

[slow saddle]

you know, with all the people i went through, its actually ironic

The competition is now dumb enough where its easier to stand out

[swift magnet]

it's not only age. also parents that force their kids go to university although thats obviously not their strongsuit are also wrong cuz they are sending their kids into a doompath just because they did it. that doesnt mean thats the right way for their kids. academic way is not fool proof for a job

[paper scroll]

I mean nerds were cooked back in the day since tech was weak and mostly relied on physical labor, now we in the information age and jocks r cooked unless they top 0.01% and become pro athletes so the world isn’t catered to all types of people, it’s designed to phase some out, if ur born in the right meta then it works out better

[wintry depot]

yeeep thats why im giga giga cooked

[paper scroll]

Nah girls diff u can marry rich husband

[wintry depot]

yeah no i dont want to do that

but i think ill finish my life working in a factory like my mom

[paper scroll]

Fair enough, then ur cooked like the rest xD

[paper scroll]

Respect tho

[wintry depot]

well not really

she got forced to by my dad

[mystic sphinx]

To marry someone you dont like just because you want an easier life with his money

[slow saddle]

well

not really

its how upbringing is

[modern hatch]

Me too

[paper scroll]

Alot of women take the ez way out but if ur sticking with ur integrity at the expense of needing to wage slave then respect to keeping ur integrity

[slow saddle]

thats not the intent depending on culture

[cyan fog]

just marry a rich m*n you like

[modern hatch]

Just die at 30

[mystic sphinx]

It is the intent in here, to marry someone rich and sit your ass on ur comfy couch doing nothing productive for the rest of your life while your husband spoils you with cash

[viscid sand]

What if I've exceeded this threshold?

[paper scroll]

Then ur cooking cuz survived

[modern hatch]

Sucks to suck then

[viscid sand]

[modern hatch]

Youre too far gone for death

[frail swallow]

I'm 4 years dead already

[viscid sand]

Guess I'll die after retirement

[obtuse oyster]

that's my goal

out the door by 40

[cyan fog]

you could also see it as enabling you to do all the fun/productive things you actually wanna do instead of fighting in the slave meatgrinder of the current economy

it works the other way too though, my friend's architect literally only did the job for fun despite it paying 150k/yr+ because his wife brought in an obscene amount of money

[mystic sphinx]

Only if the husband is someone you like

[viscid sand]

The dream. Someone out there can also just be a hero for fun if their spouse was rich enough

[slow saddle]

i mean usually theres household responsibilities

and its not an easy thing to do to be a housewife/mother

but its important for growing and having a good household

[paper scroll]

I mean if u can psyops him to think ur in it for him and not his money and u look avg+ then shouldn’t be difficult

[wintry depot]

yea being a mom is prob harder than a fuckton of jobs

not that i know either

[slow saddle]

i learn a lot from my mom since she came from a 3rd world country, is traditional, and a housewife

[cyan fog]

im so tempted to "hurr durr sexism" but i'd get yeeted immediately

[slow saddle]

she lives a happy life

[mystic sphinx]

Being a mother is the hardest job in the world

Just ask your mother

[wintry depot]

teacher is prob one of the hardest job too

[mystic sphinx]

They get paid

[slow saddle]

gets treated like a queen, gets taken care of, does her responsibilities, and has a family that loves her

[cyan fog]

this is mad cap

[frail swallow]

I mean...I explicitly do not want kids because yeah that is not easy.

[wintry depot]

clearly not enough

[paper scroll]

Being a GOOD mother is a hard job just being a mother isn’t, lots of shit parents out there

[slow saddle]

for sure

[cyan fog]

offshore oil refinery technician

[mystic sphinx]

Your mother does everything she does for you

For free

[frail swallow]

I also don't have the temperament for kids

[paper scroll]

But in saying that any job is hard of u have to be top in ur field

[cyan fog]

thats cause its her responsibility chief

[wintry depot]

i know, just saying that teacher is a rough job too

ok, being a good teacher*

[cyan fog]

her decision to pop out a human, her consequences

[obtuse oyster]

^

[mystic sphinx]

Consequences of your own actions

[obtuse oyster]

plus legally speaking she has to take care of you or put you up for adoption

[mystic sphinx]

She kinda tells me about how she regrets making me

[wintry depot]

yet so many dgaf and dont take care of their kids

because they didnt want kids

[wintry depot]

thats harsh

[mystic sphinx]

Atleast its partly a joke

[viscid sand]

rip, failed experiment. On to Mk.II

[wintry depot]

i hope its totally a joke

[obtuse oyster]

"partly"?

[paper scroll]

Why even care ur an individual and dont live to earn the approval of ur mom

[mystic sphinx]

Not a full on regret because she relies on me for her financial stability

[obtuse oyster]

that's kinda fucked up

[paper scroll]

If my mom thought I was a piece of shit then she’s free to think that not my problem

[queen grail]

bruh

[cyan fog]

either didnt want or didnt understand the mountain of responsibility that comes with having to raise a human

[mystic sphinx]

She gets unnecessarily mad sometimes and says those things

[queen grail]

You know that's worse, right?

[paper scroll]

Dw just live for urself

[mystic sphinx]

I know shes not saying it from the bottom of her heart

Shes just old

[wintry depot]

well, lot are didnt want

[viscid sand]

Ong, I don't really listen to anything when people are saying it when mad

[slow saddle]

you're an adult thats not obligated to be tied down or guilt tripped by anyone

However, you will have some morality that comes into play, just as a parent does

[queen grail]

I mean, my dad was born during World War 2 but he's still not an asshole

[wintry depot]

i mean my mom got mad at me few times and she would never say that shit

[obtuse oyster]

Aly oldge

I live for my mother and she does for me, i cant ignore her

[paper scroll]

Welp that’s pretty gg then ur happiness is liked tied to something out of ur control

[obtuse oyster]

[queen grail]

You don't pick who birth you, but you do pick your family, just saying.

Same as it is now. Too expensive

[cyan fog]

dont even fucking start, im seeing that shit in ireland these days

[viscid sand]

[cyan fog]

we are going back to monke

[mystic sphinx]

Could be a culture diff, turks are often different to foreign ppl i talk to

[wintry depot]

maybe yeah

but idk

it seems kinda bad to say to your kid

[mystic sphinx]

How does that help anything

[queen grail]

I don't know, he used to drive a truck in his first job transporting Nitroglycerin for mining

[mystic sphinx]

I am her last hope after other 5 disappointed her, she has a habit of not being pleased by the kids and that reflects on me

[wintry depot]

i see

yikes

[queen grail]

That being treated like shit Isn't something you need to just take

[viscid sand]

Tfw Mk.VI

[mystic sphinx]

[viscid sand]

[obtuse oyster]

Mk. VII will be the one this time

[cyan fog]

this is semi-subjective and cant really be said without knowing the entire context/circumstances/culture/etc

my family is romanian you should hear the shit they say

[viscid sand]

Doubt the creator has anything left to make Mk.VII

[meager hill]

[mystic sphinx]

“None of your siblings turned out to be anything in life, I’m doing everything for your future” is her own words roughly translated

[wintry depot]

theres no context of saying that to your child that makes it okay tho

[queen grail]

I mean, sure, but that's something the person would have to take into account, but to say "I regret you but only slightly since you financially help me" is, wild.

[wintry depot]

theres a way of saying things

[cyan fog]

a way normalised to you

[paper scroll]

Sticks and stones may break my bones but ur words will never hurt me is a lesson to be learned

[mystic sphinx]

Thats not what i nor she said

What

[obtuse oyster]

ehhhhhhhh

[queen grail]

But this is just, false tho.

[wintry depot]

not really, my dad was saying shit to me all the time

[cyan fog]

cz =/= turkyie =/= middle east =/= US =/= Asia

[viscid sand]

The heart is not always kind when conveying hurtful feelings

[obtuse oyster]

You can get cooked in your mental by words

just saying

[wintry depot]

you dont have to accept this

just because ''diff culture''

[meager hill]

if they're oldies, then they're just as delusional as any family expecting blood to act as the proverbial rope around your neck until the day you die

[paper scroll]

My parents tried to cook me mentally and it just made me stronger so I don’t relate

[queen grail]

Did I missunderstand this?

[mystic sphinx]

She goes mad and says things like “why did i give birth to you” thats nowhere near “i hate you but ur my money”

Jesuschrist

[queen grail]

I also never said "I hate you" I legit said the same word huh.

[cyan fog]

they do in a sense, but they're also the ones breaking their backs to support their kids and families so they just truly embody that

[paper scroll]

My grandma with dementia says 10x worse shit, if ur mental is effected by words then ul get cooked

[mystic sphinx]

Its common in turkey for parents to say they regret making the said child, whatever the intent is behind the complaint, it is common

[paper scroll]

U can literally wipe the shit off her ass for her and she will turn around and insult u to ur core

[wintry depot]

yea, it shouldnt be common XD

you didnt choose to be born

[mystic sphinx]

Well that extends to politics

Soooooo

[paper scroll]

I just look at the old woman and pretend she’s a defective bot at that stage

[meager hill]

that's the expectation, not an exception or above the norm

[viscid sand]

Reality is often disappointing

[queen grail]

Sure, but that's another topic, my mother when she was blasted out of her mind on Cancer Drugs also said some heinous shit's for a while.

[wintry depot]

oh mb, dont know much about turkey

[mystic sphinx]

Turkey is mentally driven mad and thats the leading cause of how families behave

[frail swallow]

Context is extremely important, and family dynamics regardless of culture can be very different from family to family, person to person.

[mystic sphinx]

Even I am considering s word

Pardon me if thats a rule break

[cyan fog]

turks are in fact mad as fuck

[wintry depot]

depends what word you tried to censor

[mystic sphinx]

I found online relationships to only work if you have relatively easy access to meeting each other, so anything outside the country is automatically no-go, and anywhere that takes you a day + to reach is also no-go

what is want is rage

[frail swallow]

All get declined

[mystic sphinx]

Can i send a friend request too

[frail swallow]

No

[cyan fog]

the only requests i get are from wow gold seller bots

[frail swallow]

[wintry depot]

and me?

[mystic sphinx]

but my game is good you should try it

[cyan fog]

kinda ironic that when i got hacked i also messaged all of them with my 18+ cute voice shit

[queen grail]

Damn, nice tits.

[wintry depot]

yeah it was funny

imagine getting hacked because of a p*rn discord

[frail swallow]

I mean adding the others on the team is a given, I just procrastinate. I even forgot to add Gravvy

[mystic sphinx]

[mystic sphinx]

Mega pause

[mystic sphinx]

I know he dm’d me about it

[obtuse oyster]

W rmt enjoyer

[cyan fog]

i have no leg to stand on so

[wintry depot]

dumbass XD

[frail swallow]

With how common it is for people to not only still click on those messages, it is also likely common that people go searching for them and still end up getting compromised.

[cyan fog]

[mystic sphinx]

Dont you have 3

[wintry depot]

everytime something liek that appears

i insukt them

and their entire family

till i deleted everything

[cyan fog]

sometimes you lose, it is what it is

dont insult my family thank u

[wintry depot]

and it was very long on phone

i didnt ban you

so i didnt insult your family

[cyan fog]

i didnt say you did

[wintry depot]

i just insult when im the one deleting xd

because on phone its atrocious

[frail swallow]

I'm just surprised we haven't gotten an appeal by now from one of the compromised accounts from the porn discords "I don't know what happened, I got hacked somehow"

Yeah. Somehow. Crazy mystery. Need Scooby Doo and the gang to figure it out.

[cyan fog]

atleast my appeal was honest

[mystic sphinx]

She insults not because you got hacked

Because she had to go through it on mobile

Based tbh

[wintry depot]

exactly

and because youre dumb to fall for it

lol

[mystic sphinx]

Mobilecord is ahh

[wintry depot]

my friend got hacked some months ago

[cyan fog]

curiosity killed the cat yada yada

[wintry depot]

and you dont know how long i was laughing at him

[cyan fog]

atleast there IS an appeal for this discord

[wintry depot]

(i still do)

[mystic sphinx]

the evil laugh

[cyan fog]

im still perma'd in rogue and lock class discords in wow

[mystic sphinx]

witcher than the witch of agony

[frail swallow]

We're more lenient than it may seem.

But there is a limit

There are regulars that have come before you that are now no longer here

[wintry depot]

did someone got compromised multiple times

anmd appealed few times?

[frail swallow]

Yes.

[wintry depot]

xDDDDDDDD

[frail swallow]

And they are perma gone because ffs

[wintry depot]

yeah

after 2 times like

gtfo

XD

[cyan fog]

i learn from my mistakes thank you

[mystic sphinx]

Falling for it over and over should be talent

[cyan fog]

[mystic sphinx]

Where the other staff at tho

[obtuse oyster]

But shorely I was gonna get free money from the link this time

[mystic sphinx]

I see only specific staff talk since i joined

[frail swallow]

Around.

[mystic sphinx]

Are they retired

[frail swallow]

Unless you mean like the other senior/lead mods

[cyan fog]

lurking, ready to ban your ass

[wintry depot]

because they dont like you

specifically

[mystic sphinx]

Ive never seen astrae for example

Darksma

Etc

[wintry depot]

darksma is mostly in gs channel

[frail swallow]

You've seen most

[obtuse oyster]

and the pvp channel

before it went poof

[mystic sphinx]

the what

[wintry depot]

yeah

[mystic sphinx]

Oh

[frail swallow]

But they are around. Astraea got life stuff

[mystic sphinx]

I see

[wintry depot]

riiippp

[cyan fog]

I think it's more weird that the mods are insanely active and chatty in this disc tbh

[wintry depot]

note how i muted that channel

[cyan fog]

(i think its a good thing)

[mystic sphinx]

I appreciate not power trippy and actually social staff team

[wintry depot]

depends, some mods are still playing the game

[neon cedar]

🫡

[wintry depot]

so they can still socialize with people

[obtuse oyster]

the old timers will remember LA discussion 2

[frail swallow]

Fire, Gravvy and Homelander like myself also don't necessarily do the "busywork" stuff too often anymore either

[neon cedar]

Bad mod

[wintry depot]

HAHAHAHHAA
