[potent wing]

am i supposed to build a ramp or bring the car up with the magnet

[ember lotus]

whatever takes the least effort

(car + magnet)

[potent wing]

who would win? highly trained biologically modified alien soldier vs guy high on morfine

thats it im polluting the oceans

[ember lotus]

what’s left of them anyway

[potent wing]

it took me rushing into a house full of combine and taking at least 2 grenades to mildly damage me

storm troopers would be proud

except the ones from battlefront 2 those were menaces

[ember lotus]

makes you wonder how the resistance didn’t wipe them out before gordon woke up

tbf I believe the lore reason for their incompetence is that this isn’t even the combine trying to fight back

the grunts you kill in half life 2 are the equivalent to police officers and nothing more

the actual combine army is what fought in the 7 hour war and we have no idea what the fuck that looked like

[potent wing]

fair

however barney killed like 2 grunts in hl1

[ember lotus]

you mean blue shift ?

i don’t even know if the expansions are canon

a little hard to believe that the barney we see in hl2 went to xen

[potent wing]

i mean the npc escorting you in hl1 lmao
i threw a barney at 2 grunts and he survived

[ember lotus]

the hecu aint sending their best

[potent wing]

alien grunts

the actual threatening grunts

[ember lotus]

what the fuck

the ones in forget about freeman?

[potent wing]

yes

the combine truly are one of the enemies of all time (someone just missed me point blank with a shotgun)

the pistol keeps being the mvp

man if the game wasnt so generous with trivial stuff like... health it would be hard

[golden ledge]

[ember lotus]

gabe newell had a gun to their heads and forced them to make the game as accessible as possible

[potent wing]

good ol' building the bridge as you go trick

[viral pilot]

When will Terraria update?

or have you already updated?

[hard harbor]

January

[potent wing]

why did gordon fucking grease up his boots

[ember lotus]

better performance !

[potent wing]

can i step on sand now @ember lotus

i already got the goobers

also holy shit 70 fps

[tardy topaz]

Whats ts

[ember lotus]

if i remember correctly the pheropods only help you for a bit

you have to be throwing them constantly otherwise they still hit you

i dunno gotta try it out that’s why you can quick save

[potent wing]

no no i mean

the achievement

[potent wing]

bug bait

my sillysquad

still fullbright bugged

yknow

half the games appeal is gone when you can see everything bright

[ember lotus]

i’d try restarting the game :p

when the game did that the fullbright command usually worked for me

[south socket]

Hi twins

I need help

Choosing a pfp

[potent wing]

uh do pukeko dio

[spice silo]

Wat game is that

[tepid jacinth]

half life 2

[potent wing]

half life 2

the squad grows

i love my little summons

[tepid jacinth]

i kinda hate how in order to send them to attack you send the sac

because gordon only got one from the antlion guard

[potent wing]

i bet the bathroom area is supposed to be scary and creepy

but since my game is bugged and FULLBRIGHT WONT TURN THE FUCK OFF its just... meh

console log says "redownloading all lightmaps" every time i load anything

[ember lotus]

the Big G doesn’t want you playing hl2

[potent wing]

babby survived

[tiny hatch]

hello!!

[potent wing]

yesss my babies go kill them

[icy jungle]

01/13/26...

Be prepared...

[potent wing]

what

[ember lotus]

are you really gonna trudge through the rest of the game on fullbright

don’t do that to yourself

[potent wing]

restarting the game didnt do anything

[ember lotus]

what I used to do

also, try turning HDR on if it isn’t already

some maps in hl2 require it to have any kind of lighting iirc

[potent wing]

yes suit, being at 2 hp is minor laceration

[potent wing]

that just made it worse

[ember lotus]

oh my god

[potent wing]

hl2 but the game is using the gman intro effects

hl2 but freeman stared too much at snow in a sunny day

[ember lotus]

hl2 but the flying camera robot things permanently blinded gordon freeman

[potent wing]

yeah im immune to flashbang

anyways it took me some messing around but i fixed it

but i have to say playing in fullbright was funny

[ember lotus]

would’ve destroyed some parts of the blind playthrough tho

[potent wing]

turns out the ideal strat is stack sentries in 1 side and defend the other

and of course i take more damage from acidentally right clicking with the smg than from the combine

[potent wing]

man my main nemesis is the stupid neurotoxin crab

also i just figured out i can sprint

[potent wing]

motherfucking barney man so annoying

[ember lotus]

he survived black mesa leave him alone !

[potent wing]

doesnt excuse him jumping on floor turret triggers or blocking my way away from them

better at bodyblocking than a god damn wall

[ember lotus]

this ping genuinely made me slip and fall

[ember lotus]

he’s just big like that

[potent wing]

also i just straight up ignore the squad mechanic they suck at staying alive

a medic straight up idle pathed into a sniper sightline

oh shiny laser

[ember lotus]

arguably the worst part/section/mechanic in hl2

[potent wing]

https://tenor.com/view/sniper-monkey-funny-monke-funny-kill-gif-20219406

i feel scammed trading my baby antlions for these dumbasses

[solemn dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-annoyed-stuck-outside-open-the-door-open-up-gif-16568613

[ember lotus]

gordon freeman should get to kill at least one resistance member

as a treat

[solemn dagger]

there is a friendly fire mod

[potent wing]

me with my smg secondary accidentally blowing my squad up

all theyre useful for is for fucking medkits

[ember lotus]

canon mod

[potent wing]

and baiting some enemies

[ember lotus]

dude fuck off all of vancouver is under construction or whatever

you keep having to switch sidewalks

[potent wing]

top 5 nemesis in hl2 from worst to least for me:
myself (explosions)
the black crabs
my own squad
the stupid machinegun ships
the shotgun combine

[ember lotus]

the shotgun combine could’ve been a little more threatening if he could hit his shots

[potent wing]

its mildly annoying losing 50 hp to them

cause i actively jump into the combine to kill them with the shotgun

so i am easier to hit than average but they just miss so many shots its funny

the combine observing gordon rushing in a straight line shooting down at them and promptly grazing him with smgs

gordon is truly a freeman

also it took me until like the last 1 hour of gameplay to learn that shift is sprint and not walk

at least hl1 and 2 taught me to aim properly better than tf2 and cs go ever did

[potent wing]

oh yeah honorable mention the flashbang drone and the mounted guns

theyre extremely minor inconveniences

[ember lotus]

the flashbang drones are so funny to me

instead of just recording the Guy you follow him around and keep taking photos with flash

[sly willow]

@kindred flax

Help me.

I'm dying.

[kindred flax]

[sly willow]

Headache + nose bleeds + stomach pain + fever.

[storm wren]

[ember lotus]

episodes 1 and 2 brother !!!

you will not be free from this franchise until you do the gnome achievement

[potent wing]

is episode 2 free

or did i already complete it

[storm needle]

Some daily gospel have a good day

1 John 4:9-10
New International Version
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[potent wing]

ok

cool

but can we go back to the topic

of wdym episodes 1 and 2

[storm needle]

oh i just got here

lol

[potent wing]

how kind of him to wait me to fully reload before attacking me

lmao

[potent wing]

man this game is pretty

also damn the combine really thinks some petty landmines are gonna stop the guy that outguns the entire military with a single pistol

[rustic pawn]

BergenDoig don’t care

[potent wing]

counterpoint:
you're a green grasshopper

[rustic pawn]

BergenDoig don’t care

[potent wing]

yeah go do that bit somewhere else here we actually hold conversations

[oak wraith]

there are 3 news. that's it. no more news

[potent wing]

of course there are no more news they're no longer new, you have to look at the olds tab

[potent wing]

they're so awkward its kidna cute

[whole sky]

Guys why do I never get notifications for free stuff

Well I do but they always come late

[potent wing]

because you're not here enough

[viral canopy]

I’m always indecisive, except when I’m not

[mild bone]

Wait he’s on to something

[potent wing]

adding to the amounting list of why the fuck did this happen:
i fucking died to the gunship FALLING ON TOP OF ME

[ember lotus]

gordon should be able to survive that

[potent wing]

yes, the ideal course of action against someone in melee range of you when you have a shotgun is to throw a grenade then try to melee them, genius strategy as always from the combine

they never cease to disappoint

no more fullbright, are you proud nok

man i just wish that i could carry more backup ammo on the magnum and rifle

man i can never dodge the train first try

[viral canopy]

ern

eprn

[potent wing]

the funniest part about half life as a series is

gordon is literally just some random scientist that was on an anti-radiation suit after taking like 5 minutes to learn how to handle a basic gun

hes just some guy that picked up a gun and took down basically the entire alien invasion by himself

another funny thing is that turboing while reversing the buggy works and you can out-run the train

[ember lotus]

they don’t even try to explain his superhuman abilities

“he’s a highly trained professional” okay. shit

[potent wing]

damn bro i didnt know mit theoretical physics also prepared you to be the single most overpowered protagonist in the off case an alien invasion happens

mmm well done steak

BRO I GRAZED THE FUCKING TRAIN ACIDENTALLY

[ember lotus]

i GUESS they could try to spin it as “maybe the gman was always looking out for freeman” or whatever

[potent wing]

gman projecting the skills into gordon's brain:

[ember lotus]

survives all that to get run over by a fucking train

[ember lotus]

who knows! he did weirder shit

[potent wing]

i didnt get ran over

[ember lotus]

pushed slightly to the side

[potent wing]

i literally grazed the air

[ember lotus]

gman wasn’t looking out for freeman this time

[potent wing]

https://tenor.com/view/pikmin-purple-purple-pikmin-pikmin-morado-monotart-gif-24936732

im 100% the game as i go

and now its time for pain in the ass part 3 i mean sandtraps

so far water hazard and highway 17 suck ass
and sandtraps is painful

vehicles in hl2 are just... too slippery

[ember lotus]

you already talk about the franchise like a longtime friend

thats the spirit

[potent wing]

this is literally my 2nd hl2 run and my 4th half life game run of all time

i quite literally fell on it recently

[ember lotus]

already played more of it than valve and co

[potent wing]

also im not even a shooter player...

im a stranded mmorpg player

[ember lotus]

honestly just shows how ridiculously accessible these games are

[potent wing]

my whole life ive played wow, wakfu, ragnarok online... and the most shooters i played was like 30 minutes of cs go, the valorant tutorial on my ex's house and some tf2 (i played engineer or pyro)

[ember lotus]

tho they do lack Actual accessibility options because of the era they came out in

[potent wing]

oh and i also played lots of league... not proud of that

[ember lotus]

i’ve never played one minute of tf2 in my life

i’m too far behind to start now i feel like

[potent wing]

bro the game hasnt gotten shit since forever i think

theres no good or bad time to start

aw man the buggy has no flashlight

but the mudskipper hAS???

[ember lotus]

i don’t remember if you need the flashlight in the buggy……..?

do you even go into dark places with it

[potent wing]

its annoying on some of the dark loading screen tunnels

they're curved

[ember lotus]

oh true true

[potent wing]

im having to rely on the fog that bleeds through to guide myself lmao

is over there sand

i didnt get the achieve first time for some reason

[ember lotus]

i dont think so?

but better avoid it anyway

[potent wing]

all i need are sand, snipers, toilet, and caches

and then episode 2 which idk where to play

[ember lotus]

also that little house is so quaint always liked it

[ember lotus]

iirc episodes 1 and 2 were made playable in hl2 itself after the 20 year anniversary update

[potent wing]

so i need to leave steam legacy version

did they improve graphics or something

[ember lotus]

its a bunch of little improvements. better ui also

i dunno. i think you lose achievements tho

because they’re technically two different versions, no?

[potent wing]

only annoying part of the ui is the oxygen not showing when you use aux power

[ember lotus]

in short (long):

[ember lotus]

high tech suit gotta cut corners somewhere

[potent wing]

is the 10 seconds of powered sprint/30 seconds of flashlight not cutting corners enough

also damn this bolt gotta be blazing to be able to stay orange hot for so long

[ember lotus]

the government had cut funds to the department of bullshit experiments and research ok

[ember lotus]

there’s a little battery at the bottom of it to keep the rod hot

[potent wing]

the annoying stupid part of sandtraps is

the fake earthquakes that happen all the time

it doesnt let me know i fucked up

ah yes i can't step on the sand but i can repeatedly slam 2 pieces of metal on it and nothing happens

there we go

[vernal ocean]

guys join my among us lobby

AEJZQQ

[potent wing]

hey daddy batzz

now that ive seen this place with fullbright bug on, it aint scary at all

[potent wing]

this line is funny

"an ordinary man" - The Combine

[ivory abyss]

The combine sold me fent

[ember lotus]

they’re embarrassed as fuuuuuuck

[potent wing]

alright thats that

took me... 22h to 100%

what amounts to episode 0 i guess

[ivory abyss]

Half life episode 3 will come out gimme ALL that hopeium

[potent wing]

https://tenor.com/view/hl2-hl3-half-life-3-hopium-hope-gif-7246120153840726923

when will half life come out but you play as combine barney

when is blueshift 2? opposing force 2

[lost granite]

ui improvements, steam workshop, better lighting, etc

they also fixed this fuckass bug where some levels are fullbright

[potent wing]

convenient to mention that after i finished the game in fullbright

only one bullet seems significantly more viable considering the op gravity gun

[west cipher]

Dude this chat still exists?

I remember this from a few years ago

Who remembers "Luna UI"

[ember lotus]

why would they get rid of it lol

[west cipher]

Why do we need a second one its' dead

[lost granite]

Used to be a staff

[west cipher]

I remember you Vampire Silveron

[lost granite]

Left since shes bored

[west cipher]

Yeah and the other one

Name started with a C or somethin g

Was it "Cera"

[lost granite]

Also a mod

Was demoted

[west cipher]

What why

I remember randomly spotting that one in another Discord, it was the build a PC server or something

[lost granite]

She kinda abused perms

[west cipher]

Well, I suppose most of the cool "Gen 2'ers" have left or otherwised been removed from the server

Very unfortunate

[ember lotus]

they were too cool for this server ^

[slate pewter]

Back in my day 👵

[west cipher]

Yeah

Why did everyone appear this second wtf

[slate pewter]

Glad I was there to be a part of them

[west cipher]

By the way, I have no idea who you guys are

[slate pewter]

I've heard of you however

[west cipher]

Really

[slate pewter]

Albeit vaguely

[west cipher]

Wow, that's very strange

[slate pewter]

It's doctor, strange

[west cipher]

Very funny. 😂

[ember lotus]

the Discord called me

[west cipher]

Wait, how do you know me if I've gone through nunmerous nickname changes

And... profile picture changes

Lie...?

[west cipher]

Totally tubular.

[slate pewter]

But yeah this channel started dying after 80% of the big-name trivia regs left or became inactive or moved to T-chat where they all reside now, the main staff friend group stopped talking here regularly (likely talking in the subservers instead), and the game just losing steam

And uh some drama, just a few

[west cipher]

That's very intresting.

Albiet concerning that, again, someone was able to recognize me

Considering... I swear I didn't use this server that much

[slate pewter]

Even a good portion of this server's original subservers have gone inactive

[west cipher]

I have no idea what a "subserver" is

[slate pewter]

Just some servers for friend groups formed in this channel and allat

Big lore

[west cipher]

Let me guess, you're in all of them.

That's crazy.

[slate pewter]

Kinda

hehe

I don't talk in any of them though

At all

[west cipher]

That's the thing about this server: it's the Terraria server. Topics are... restricted, to say the least.

Like, I don't want to talk about Terra Blades.

Or the Guide. I don't know. Just had to get that off of my chest.

[ember lotus]

that’s why you use the general chat

(2)

[west cipher]

Oh, that's where we are, aren't me.

(I meant we not me)

[slate pewter]

Some kind of general chat, too

[ember lotus]

(i know)

[west cipher]

(okay, nice)

[ember lotus]

past 2 days have just been a half life franchise walkthrough which is great

[west cipher]

I played half life on(c)e.

There's a double meaning in that.

[ember lotus]

otsu played it twi(c)e? i believe

[west cipher]

"twie" is not a word.

[ember lotus]

fuck

[west cipher]

Okay, you're right. I should've written

I played Half Life On/c/e? Maybe.

What I'm trying to say is: I played half life ONE ONCE. There we have it. Beautiful.

Only played a small fraction of the game, though. A pity.

[ember lotus]

guy reading book on fire

[west cipher]

What

I better not tarnish my, well, reputation. Talking in the lesser channels allows you to accomplish this.

[ember lotus]

working theory (probably very obvious but whatever) is that gen 2 died when the pandemic stopped being a big issue

died is still a strong word but Yeah

[west cipher]

That was years ago? No, no. I'd say maybe... 2024? 2023 is when the decline started.

Of course, I'm not appointing myself as a Historical Main Character. I would enter chat briefly but suddenly, often for weeks at a time, to radiate a very strange mood.

[ember lotus]

i remember entering the server at the start of 2020, remaining active until maybe 2022 and just dipping

i dont even remember why

[west cipher]

Yeah, I do not even recognize you a bit. If you had an older rendition of a profile picture/username? Maybe. But alas, no.

[ember lotus]

only thing we keep out here is names, feller

been that since the start

[west cipher]

I do not have a constant name. At one point I was... oh, this is getting hard to remember.

[west cipher]

Someone named Bjankea. A classic server member.

[kindred flax]

which causes a horrible delay

[sly willow]

How would you do that for a game without touch controls?

Nothing to really for the controller to map.

[kindred flax]

so not possible

i should've not bought it

[sly willow]

Should've bought that PS4 smh.

[kindred flax]

let's say i want a new one

Are you sure you can't scam little timmy and sell this?

There is no moving on. This server is very addictive.

[sly willow]

I moved on servers 5 times in 5 years.

[ember lotus]

it was when there were like, minecraft subservers or whatever

[west cipher]

Yes, you'll take a break for a year or two. But you will always come back, even if. temporarily.

[sly willow]

Annual tradition.

[kindred flax]

break

what's that

Very, very addictive.

For week-long stretches

[sly willow]

We can't?

[kindred flax]

you mentioned hard drugs

[sly willow]

How to be human has a lot of songs.

[kindred flax]

I'll probably need an airpod

[sly willow]

Airpod?

[ember lotus]

most albums have more than 1

[kindred flax]

earbud

you get the idea

[sly willow]

Aren't they expensive?

Even mine costs 30 dollars.

[kindred flax]

not really

[sly willow]

I have 100 dollars worth of gaming accessories.

[kindred flax]

budget ones

I'm getting myself budget ones

not like the originals exist here lol

[sly willow]

I'd imagine so.

[ember lotus]

i think the only reason i never got addicted to this server is because i suck shit at all the minigames

alas i keep the free roles

[west cipher]

Ah yes, the minigames. Played them once or twice.

[ember lotus]

i have 9k+ trivia pings

[sly willow]

Wait.

[ember lotus]

ill keep hoarding it

[sly willow]

Are the budget ones possibly called boAt.

[west cipher]

I have 1301 Discord notifications. Thought that was bad, but alas, there's worse.

[sly willow]

So you were that person that was showing off 9k trivia pings like 3 weeks ago.

[west cipher]

That's life. It always ends up where you started.

[sly willow]

I used to have 50k, sadly left those servers.

[ember lotus]

wasnt here three weeks ago sorry !

[west cipher]

A tragedy.

[sly willow]

Then it was another nerd that also had 9k pings.

[ember lotus]

but i did show it off a few Years ago

yes I am a nerd

[sly willow]

Everyone here are nerds.

[west cipher]

I am not a nerd. Sorry.

Not a geek. Not a dweeb. I am normal.

[hushed rapids]

damn...

I love that show and its world

[edgy rock]

oh next ep 7

[hushed rapids]

I really really really want to play a game like that

I have such a good oc idea specifically for shangri-la

been dying to talk about even the existance of it....

[edgy rock]

meru with a birb head

[hushed rapids]

no-

just my own character in the game

would be so cool

I have a somewhat clear idea of like a magician using books but super mobile.

Moving around fast with magic and quickfiring spells

Also a nice setting appropriate outfit and design

So many ideas for jobs and what to do

sigh......

one can dream

[languid bloom]

gay

[edgy rock]

oh there's even a 2nd season

I have so much to watch...

[hushed rapids]

yeah

Idk which I like more

maybe 2nd

[edgy rock]

I haven't watched anime in like a year, I have such a big backlog...

[hushed rapids]

Time to binge

watch the seasonals like frieren weekly and backlog while waiting

[edgy rock]

[hushed rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-frieren-friday-brew-cauldron-anime-gif-3686716188001446318

[hushed rapids]

I remember small gaps

[edgy rock]

oh oh and I might start watching digimon!

https://anilist.co/anime/188388/DIGIMON-BEATBREAK

it looks pretty cool...

[hushed rapids]

I dont know anything about digimon-

[edgy rock]

and...

[hushed rapids]

would be scared to pick it up

[edgy rock]

this looks a like a nice starting place, it has nothing from the original series

even the digimon are different

it's like starting a new gen of pokemon 😎

[hushed rapids]

hmmmmm

[hushed rapids]

oh btw whats the last one

ive seen maybe a clip or two but no idea what its about

[edgy rock]

well thats my one free bullet

man i survived ravenholm first try this is easy work

alyx you fucking suck at aiming

the solution to all of one's problems: rock

[potent wing]

"we can't cross the street" correction you can't sprint at mach 2

[gritty cedar]

[red osprey]

[red osprey]

its gonna be a great clan one day, itll just take some patience. And since its so new we will win every clan war

[distant wing]

hmm

what do we think? not sure about the gravel foundation, but cobble looks so bad

smoothstone was also not great choice, its too smooth and feels claustrophobic inside

[hard harbor]

Stone bricks perhaps

Feel like they'd fit

[distant wing]

maybe, but i'm thinking stone as well, dont want too many brick textures to muddy it up, no pun intended

oh yeah i'm also using copper trap doors for cook tops

did start adding a porch though

https://tenor.com/view/jiminoreo-gif-4884042028109983039

[lost granite]

Is it fun through

Game looks like a massive spyware from Chinese Spyware Inc.

[kindred flax]

Diturbed Vs Zinx when

[violet vortex]

That’d be me beating up a retired pensioner

Not exactly a fair fight cuz I’d still lose

[slate pewter]

Personally, in the 140 hours I've put into the game so far, yeah, very

[kindred flax]

zinx being humble

[slate pewter]

It ticks a lot of boxes on my list

It's a genuinely fun open world with good and difficult combat with dual weapon combo skill ceilings, 8 skills that you can use at once, pretty tight parrying, and soulslike-level bosses

Scratches most of the same itches I had after beating Elden Ring

(ER is still leagues more fun but in the same ballpark)

The game deserves its popularity imo

The story is actually relatively good, I expected it to have standard gacha-level writing

The exploration is super rewarding, there's always some unique spot and landmark somewhere

The game other than being a singleplayer campaign has an MMO mode. Multiple gamemodes including a full-on extraction like Nightreign, big raids

As for what I dislike about it, translations are still pretty rough but nothing very immersion-breaking, most things are timegated/capped (resource farming, etc.), minor performance issues (runs well nonetheless, just somehow looks worse on the PS5)

The menu navigation is also something to get used to

Overall an 8/10 game, it earns a spot in my top 15 all time

[slate pewter]

Not sure about this though

But uh, not prejudice, but safe to say that particular things published in that country are likely spyware until proven otherwise

(everything is spyware atp)

Since the game does have a "use your mic to auto-generate a character using AI" in character creation

At the end of the day, I personally don't really care (not saying that this should be condoned, but I can't do anything about it nor has or ever will affect me in any way)

[finite torrent]

[potent wing]

my journey begins

[ember lotus]

ignore every single thing that happens during the game, focus only on the gnome

[potent wing]

im doing that and killing grubbies

the gnome is also surprisingly a powerful weapon (i only throw it when its safe to do so)

[ember lotus]

the intended experience

[potent wing]

oh yeah uh

i can use guns right

no more only one bullet bullshit

im gonna have to do 2 runs either way since 100%ing it in one go is painfully annoying

yeah no im gonna do the grub thing later

this is too much to keep track of

motherfuckers stole my gnoime

[ember lotus]

get it back???

[ember lotus]

pretty sure

the only requirement is to bring the gnome with you and put it in the rocket

[potent wing]

having good fps really does help you aim (im playing at like 12fps

[fast dove]

elo nok

I not in that server anymore

[potent wing]

nope soup is gone

i do have these 3 relics though

[ember lotus]

[potent wing]

i mean i use that server as a screenshot and text dump

like sticky notes that dont make me want to rip my hair out

fuck you windows i want my w7 sticky notes back

[edgy rock]

Mmmm soup

[tepid jacinth]

🙄

[potent wing]

hey look its the eldest

[fast dove]

elo tk old man

[potent wing]

man how did i fuck up french fries in 4 different ways this is crazy

[ember lotus]

i miss them every day

[tepid jacinth]

maybe you didnt put enough oil

[potent wing]

i burnt my hand
half of it melted
half of it was burnt out and raw in

[ember lotus]

i didnt even know there were 4 ways to fuck it up

[potent wing]

and a part of it became this amalgamation of potato starch that refused to leave the pan's bottom

[ember lotus]

next they’re all gonna melt into one normal potato

[tepid jacinth]

weird. i never managed to undercook even wedges

maybe the oil was too hot

[potent wing]

i am the kitchen wizard i manage to do things people thought previously impossible

like burning fucking instant noodles

[tepid jacinth]

I will bestow upon you one word of advice

If you ever have a oil fire, don't throw water on it

[potent wing]

https://tenor.com/view/xavier-adult-swim-write-that-down-gif-18315875

i know you snuff out the oxygen

[tepid jacinth]

Stop the gas and put a lid on

[potent wing]

thats the one thing im certain i can deal with in the kitchen

[ember lotus]

did you just let all the water evaporate or something

[potent wing]

oh did i mention the time i almost exploded the pressure cooker pan while making beans

[potent wing]

worst of all no

[tepid jacinth]

what did you do lol?

[potent wing]

the remaining water was extremely salty and concentrated too

[potent wing]

forgot to set a timer

[tepid jacinth]

damn

[ember lotus]

nightmare scenario for every brazilian

[tepid jacinth]

i thought maybe you wanted to make chilli oil noodles

[potent wing]

im living off of boiled food and rice made in an electric cooker that way i cant fuck up even if i wanted to

[ember lotus]

legit magic how the fuck do you manage that

[tepid jacinth]

do you steam veggies?

[potent wing]

this is like the 6th month straight im eating boiled eggs sausages potatoes carrots etc etc

no i actually barely eat vegetables

[tepid jacinth]

eat some

[ember lotus]

youre gonna die

[potent wing]

ive been on this diet since i was a teen and so far only have issues when i get sick :seventeen:

[tepid jacinth]

i only like boiled eggs in like egg salad or with vinegar

if it's hard boiled

if it's soft, then it's all good

[potent wing]

i like them hardboiled and with no seasoning...
i dislike softboiled...

[tepid jacinth]

the best are poached eggs on a bed of cooked spinach

with some toast

[ember lotus]

i think that’s enough of a warning no?

[potent wing]

maybe my life is so depressing because my diet rivals a british lunch

[tepid jacinth]

maybe try cooking some soups

[potent wing]

rice, seasoned with salt only
beans, seasoned with salt only
boiled assortment of food, no seasoning

[tepid jacinth]

chicken soup

could be nice

[ember lotus]

the only thing keeping you from stabbing someone in the street is the weather i think

[tepid jacinth]

perfect for winter

[potent wing]

winter???

where??? i want it give me it

though what pc do you have?

[potent wing]

uhhhh shit

i5 1650 cpu and integrated gpu
8gb ddr3

[ember lotus]

ever heard of a raspberry pi

[potent wing]

and the worst of all

a positivo motherboard

[tepid jacinth]

honestly if you had a dedicated card, basically any produced after 2010 you would see a difference

[ember lotus]

physically recoiled

[potent wing]

somehow, somewhere along the fucked up series of twisted and messed up things that happened in my life

this positivo board is the 2nd longest lasting component in my pc

[tepid jacinth]

it would free up your ram a little, and any dedicated gpu is better than intel integrated graphics

[potent wing]

only being younger than my cpu

[tepid jacinth]

yea, it's a cool computer

[potent wing]

yeah not the greatest time to buy a gpu

[tepid jacinth]

doesnt that apply mainly to newer stuff?

they didnt even have fans on their heatsink thats how old they were

[latent hazel]

Bruh

you got rid of the load bearing roaches

[potent wing]

they were so old their heatsinks were like
just a small piece of metal and no fans

[tepid jacinth]

it has a piece of metal, right

[potent wing]

i think they were from 2007?

[tepid jacinth]

yea that's just a regular heatsink
