non-drg-chat

[eternal knoll]

Or, perhaps he is ex-military

or

Maybe he's John Wick

or

[upper cradle]

I think its just a game thing without much lore since no one would like to play as a guy who drops his weapon every time he tries to reload it

[eternal knoll]

It's a video game and it's fun to let the player have fun

[upper cradle]

He is just THAT smart he knows how to handle firearms without proper experience

[eternal knoll]

or

[narrow sail]

One: He's a bloody smart man. You don't end up being a theoretical physicist without having at least a couple hundred brain cells more than the average goober.

Two: He's pretty damn good at thinking on his feet. The game is a mix of puzzles and combat after all.

Three: The Hazard Course. It's probably part of qualifcation if you want to use the HEV Suit to have at least a basic understanding of how to use guns.

[eternal knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-seal-tongue-out-seal-tongue-seals-cute-seal-gif-16287366889290609901

[narrow sail]

Pretty sure you actually shoot things in the Hazard Course proper.

[upper cradle]

I think its most likely the second one

[narrow sail]

I think it's all three.

Hell, in Decay the two scientists need to know how to use guns.

The Hazard Course is there too.

[upper cradle]

I just dont think its a case where he was previously trained or in military, because he handles weapons that are not human-made with the same efficiency as the normal ones

[narrow sail]

He might also be extrapolating how human weapons work and applying that to the non-human ones.

I mean, the AR2 is pretty damn close to a proper assault rifle (if a bit weird because it's a pulse rifle)

He's probably seen that snarks like blowing up on things and figured "I could toss them like grenades."

Hivehand is a bit more questionable, but he's a smart cookie.

[upper cradle]

I just enjoy the idea of Gordon being a random scientist who just locked in and thugged out everything

Besides we already have military type of guy as main character

[narrow sail]

There's the difference though. Gordon DOESN'T have military training, he just has the basic training from the Hazard Course.

[eternal knoll]

Maybe he's a military brat

[narrow sail]

Shepherd definitely has military training.

[upper cradle]

No no I know I am just talking about what tater said

[narrow sail]

Ah.

fair.

[eternal knoll]

Or lived in the countryside as a kid

Learned to do some hunting and small arms shooting

That'd explain the handgun, shotgun, and crossbow proficiency

[narrow sail]

Either way, he's terrifyingly effective when it comes to protecting himself.

[upper cradle]

Maybe he went to the gun range with Barney once in a while

[narrow sail]

Isaac Clarke meanwhile... he probably has experience with his pool of weapons.

Because funnily enough, they aren't weapons.

[upper cradle]

I mean, his pool of weapons are basically tools

[narrow sail]

Exactly!

[upper cradle]

so that makes sense

[eternal knoll]

Foam finger

[narrow sail]

The man's an engineer! He's using shit like mining tools to protect himself.

The Pulse Rifle is the only exception but he's surprisingly good at handing the thing.

I wonder why.

[upper cradle]

I just think that its not that hard to handle

[eternal knoll]

Guns are made to be easily usable, and it's all pretty futuristic stuff

It's all designed with the lowest intelligence users in mind

[narrow sail]

OH-

Poul Clarke was an award-winning ship architect employed by the GUMMC. His son, Isaac Clarke, enlisted in the Merchant Marine after graduating from a backwater engineering school```

Well there's a potential answer.

[eternal knoll]

Yay backstory

[narrow sail]

Man knows how to shoot!

[eternal knoll]

Man has 5000 hours in Time Crisis 2 arcade edition and knows how to handle a light gun

[deep geyser]

What book are you at

[narrow sail]

Morgan Yu... there's a tricky one.

[deep geyser]

Thats a dumb question its the dungeon anarchists cookbook isnt it

[eternal knoll]

Problematic shortening of the title

[boreal marlin]

Ripley in Aliens got a 5 mins of arms safety training in a breakroom while xenos was chewing the door and duct taped flamethrower onto rifle afterwards.
Sometimes people do stuff because they want to survive.

[deep geyser]

How so?

[eternal knoll]

You changed it to the name of an actual book that was banned and will get you on a government watchlist for looking up.

[narrow sail]

True.

Survival Instinct is a hell of a drug.

[deep geyser]

Thats unforch

[eternal knoll]

Yyyyyyyep

[boreal marlin]

Though backstory why civilian could handle the firearms is always nice.
Alan Wake for example took lessons for his Max Payne books. So in game he could not run, but can shoot.
Shoulda took some aerobics class too

[deep geyser]

Never heard if that before

[upper cradle]

byeah

[eternal knoll]

It's pretty old at this point, and the campaign to hide it was pretty serious from what I understand.

[deep geyser]

Damn im gonna guess it was just how to make bombs or something?

[eternal knoll]

Amongst other things

Part of me wonders if the choice to name that book of dungeon crawler carl so similarly was meant to draw attention to it.

Or maybe even hide it from search results

Could go either way, really.

[strong phoenix]

Pretty funny considering the fact that the US army publishes a more effective improvised munitions manual than basically anyone else can

[tender imp]

greetings

[limber latch]

Have you guys played the tutorial of Half-Life?

That's not a basic hazard suit training

He's been studying underbarrel grenade launchers there

[upper cradle]

No

[deep geyser]

Knowing the books while vibe i’d guess its a play on words

Sorry my internet cut out

[limber latch]

The real question is how does Gordon know how to use that one alien gun that shoots bees

[narrow sail]

EXACLTY MY FUCKING POINT.

[limber latch]

I like how Black Mesa makes fun of that

[narrow sail]

He has actual combat training.

It's a bit basic, but it's still combat training!

[limber latch]

"Did you know what to do with that thing or you're just some kind of pervert?"

[brittle citrus]

Gaben that he’s a theoretical scientist, he probably had a theory and tested. Theoretically, if you have a basic idea how it works, it should work in theory.

[limber latch]

Hmm

What if shoving arms in tight spaces is a common thing to study in MIT?

[brittle citrus]

Works well on theoretical nuclear power plants

[tender imp]

hey ya

[brittle citrus]

Go away

[tender imp]

no

fiddle bones

[brittle citrus]

[tender imp]

do it

i have the armor to take it

you do not

[limber latch]

Would Gordon have a giant Stanford logo on his HEV suit if he graduated from Stanford instead of MIT?

[brittle citrus]

Don’t flinch

[brittle citrus]

What’s the difference

[limber latch]

Stanford people really love to remind everyone they're from Stanford

Even Avatar makes fun of that with a giant blue alien thing wearing a huge Stanford shirt

They're like vegans of science community

[brittle citrus]

May I pick your nose?

[limber latch]

Sorry it's on a time out

Come back in 4 hours

[brittle citrus]

You failed me

[limber latch]

My nose failed me with bleeding all over the place

[brittle citrus]

And you didn’t even bother to call me

Making pun vaccines isn’t an easy task

right meow

[narrow sail]

I just had a realisation.

We know more about the Spy than the Pyro.

We know more about the funny sneaky frenchman that the loon who runs about with a flamethrower.

[rigid niche]

Well, Pyro doesn't hides anything depsite being mysterious. We know if pyro will wanna do something it will do it, and we will see if it is naturally very great or horrible at it. Very predictable character it is. Imagine if pyro was unpredictable and had hidden motives instead of having fun, it would become horror

[narrow sail]

That IS true.

[rigid niche]

When reasoning behind every action becomes innocent but not pure "fun" it becomes easier to read an person. You will see and say "Oh pyro just doing that because it enjoys doing it thats all"

[narrow sail]

Pyro is a wee bit of a loon though which... doesn't help.

[rigid niche]

I wonder why pyro joined gravel wars out of everywhere else. And what it does with all this money.

Proably also it goes all back to "i get to burn things and rewarded for doing so"

At least if we assume pyro not see it as something else

[narrow sail]

Yeah there's the problem.

Pyrovision.

What Pyro sees is decidedly not what we see.

[rigid niche]

In evil genius 2, pyro obeys and does its job as an henchman just fine. It patrols the lair, easly spot disguised agents then set the lair on fire, after combat ends tries to airblast burning minions to spare their lives.

Either it is bugged or pyro has mind of its own. I cant trigger airblast manually

[narrow sail]

Not saying Pyro isn't effective. Gods no they're REALLY good at what they do.

[rigid niche]

When i think about it, in evil genius 2's universe there is no good or bad ending because it seems it had happened multiple times that evil geniuses did world domination and took down forces of justice. The genius passed away at some point from age or assasination of forces of justice then world reset back to where it is

Only people suffers are the agents and minions. Leaders of justice and evil geniuses have fun fighting one another

[narrow sail]

Playing Unturned again.

Been biking across Russia doing some quests.

[ornate ember]

thou shalt turneth

so thy cancel thine unturn

[tender imp]

nice

[narrow sail]

Current objective: Catch a Giant Squid.

[brittle citrus]

I heard you need a hand

[tender imp]

i got just the help you need

[brittle citrus]

You damn tech iron, quit stealing my job

[tender imp]

topaz dragon

dislike water but like giant squid

also they have necrotic breath weapon

and can use psychic abilities

[tender imp]

want to see a cool pathfinder creature?

[brittle citrus]

You can’t even do the job right, he said CATCH a giant squid, not kill it. If you’re gonna steal my job, do it right.

[brittle citrus]

Better not be a lizard

[tender imp]

bog strider

they float on water similar to a certain species of bug

their culture is a lot about utility and helping the hive

[brittle citrus]

Known as water striders

[tender imp]

they refer to themselves as seshes but they do not mind the common name

[tender imp]

thanks for telling me

[brittle citrus]

You is welcome

[tender imp]

they eat almost entirely meat or fish

but they do not eat sentient creatures

for that is a taboo

[brittle citrus]

Then that bug is dead to me

[tender imp]

they're 5 feet tall

[brittle citrus]

Meat is meat, no matter where it’s acquired

[tender imp]

and weigh about 150 pounds

[brittle citrus]

So about a human ratio

[tender imp]

yeah

but as you can see they have more limbs

and strong mandibles

their culture is as said before a lot about utility

[brittle citrus]

What you mean? They got the same amount of limbs as the other bugs

[tender imp]

women are most often builders and artisans but can also be hunters whilst men are the opposite

[tender imp]

compared to humans

[brittle citrus]

No shit

[tender imp]

you may also like the surki

a species of insectoids you can play

they come from under the earth and similar to most insects undergo several methamorphosis (metamorophosei?)

in their early stages as larvae they move towards magic to absorb it

before undergoing the metamorphosis to become adults

whilst these adults are not that special they eventually undergo another change to develop magical organs that give them abilities

such as antigravity wings

or magical claws for digging

[tender imp]

unfortunatly you can't play the bog striders btw

also weirdly they're classified as abberations

for some reason

[narrow sail]

It's... probably going to take a while to get that squid.

[tender imp]

good luck

[narrow sail]

In the meantime, catching fish will do a few things for me.

One: Fish. Which is food.
Two: Catching a fish in general gives me XP, which I can use to buy things on the Liberator (safezone on the Russia map)
Three: I can sell some of those fish to get XP.

I NEED to get that XP so I can get berry seeds, as there's no other way to get them on this map.

[tender imp]

what do you think of hyenas

[narrow sail]

Yeen :>

[tender imp]

pathfinder has a race of hyena people

the kholos

different heritages as well

one which is big

one which is more quadraped and one which is small

and several more

they commit cannibalism to honor their fallen pack mates

and keep their bones as mementos

[narrow sail]

The heritages remind me of the Khajiit.

[tender imp]

they don't much care for honor

to them it's just a danger of losing a fellow friend

[narrow sail]

Yeah uh... fun fact.

THESE ARE ALL THE SAME.

[tender imp]

also if they particularly like an enemy

they eat them to honor them aswell

[narrow sail]

They are ALL Khajiit, including the cat on the chair.

[tender imp]

curious

[narrow sail]

It depends on which phase of the moons they're born in.

[tender imp]

so similar to lycanthropes?

or to call them in the more common name

were-creatures

[narrow sail]

There's two moons in the world of the Elder Scrolls.

Masser and Secunda.

[tender imp]

i like that ttrpgs give were-creatures names like lycanthropes

[narrow sail]

Masser determines what they are in general, big cat, smol cat, big anthro or smol anthro.

[tender imp]

the big ones mother must have liked giants

[narrow sail]

With things being further determined by Secunda's moon phase.

[tender imp]

the big quadraped is also one of those khajit?

[narrow sail]

Indeed.

[tender imp]

impressive

[drifting wren]

meow

[tender imp]

kholo culture is semi nomadic

and they worship ancestors aswell

they're neither cruel nor mercyful

[narrow sail]

For example, the Khajiit you play as in Skyrim is a Cathay, born during Masser's waxing phase and Secunda's full phase.

[tender imp]

i see

want to know more about the kholos?

[narrow sail]

yeh.

[tender imp]

they stand between 6-7 feet tall

women are a head taller then men

and a bit stronger aswell

they reach adulthood with 15 years and live about 60 years long

live a bit quicker than most humans

[narrow sail]

Neat.

[narrow sail]

That tracks.

[tender imp]

there are different heritages as said before

for example the ant kholos are only 3 feet tall

[narrow sail]

Which is why I mentioned the Khajiit in the first place.

[tender imp]

the dog kholos are more primitive and are most often quadruped

but they're able to move bipedally aswell

also the witch kholo

which have shaggy and dark fur and make uncanny noises

they get access to the figment spell

which is a minor illusion spell

[narrow sail]

oh?

[tender imp]

it allows you to create small visual or hearing based illusions

[unreal forum]

hey is there a channel for DRG rouge core? im just trying to find where to give feeback when i get some

[tender imp]

nah this is non drg

[tender imp]

they can learn distant cackle later on aswell

which allows them to relocate their vocalizations to a different place

[teal shadow]

the channel that you got acces to with your role
idk where it is as I don't have access, but probably near the bottom

[ruby roost]

yo what's going on with helldivers, been hearing a lot of negative things about it recently

[tender imp]

fuck no

[brittle citrus]

Why the Hell did you ask my opinion if you’re just gonna reject it

[boreal marlin]

Doctor Who went that way 👉

[glass stag]

why the doctor went that way?

and also which doctor went that way?

[brittle citrus]

I’m not sending the trash can for The Doctor, I’m sending it for the hyenas.

[brittle citrus]

11th

No wait, 10. Sorry.

[glass stag]

theres 10 doctors that went that way?

🤔

[brittle citrus]

No, just the 10th

[glass stag]

ah, so the other doctors went the other way?

[brittle citrus]

You’re fired

[boreal marlin]

Ye I don't like gnolls too. Understandable.

[glass stag]

aw...

[brittle citrus]

Suffer my wrath!

[boreal marlin]

I liked 9th Doc the most.

[brittle citrus]

All creatures with unacceptable features must burn

But... yeen.

[brittle citrus]

I will make a time machine and delete DOOM 1992 from ever being born. You will then become Derp…whatever the wolfenstein protags name is.

[narrow sail]

1993 you dolt.

[brittle citrus]

IT WAS IN PRODUCTION IN 92 AND FINISHED IN 93

[narrow sail]

Hence why it's 93.

Like how we refer to the first NuDoom game as Doom (2016)

Because it was released in 2016.

[brittle citrus]

I don’t go by final dates, I go by production dates. Terminator went back in time to kill Johns mother, not John himself.

[narrow sail]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUH.

[brittle citrus]

I will sink to every depth to win court cases

[boreal marlin]

There are second movie.
And you wont believe about who it is.

[brittle citrus]

That was assassination tempt two on Sarah Resistance.

[cedar zephyr]

The jury is out on whether you can be judged for that

[boreal marlin]

Yeah, John Resistance, son of Sarah.

[brittle citrus]

I hired the judge, jury and executioner with PB&J sandwiches.

[narrow sail]

scrolling down through youtube feed

sees this

Oh god.

I haven't heard about Aika Village in AGES.

[brittle citrus]

That looks horrifying

[narrow sail]

Something important to remember about Animal Crossing is that you can visit other peoples' villages.

Someone decided their village would be a fucking horrorshow.

[boreal marlin]

There is no mystery, Lammy did it

[brittle citrus]

Hey whoa man, My village in New Horizons is called “1984”. Haven’t been there in years but it’s paradise.

[narrow sail]

Enter, Aika Village, an actual playable creepypasta.

Like this is some old school shiz.

2012 era.

[boreal marlin]

The brave new world, sounds fun.
So thats where all your hire/fire schemes goes

[spice sphinx]

Stinkies

[brittle citrus]

Actually, it’s where all the retired employees go. They’re all in safe hands. I just watch them sleep at night through the window with a tranq gun if they get night terrors.

[brittle citrus]

Hello reptile

[spice sphinx]

Am bird

[brittle citrus]

Same shit

[spice sphinx]

chirps

NUH

NOT SAME

[brittle citrus]

Birds are just lizards with feathers

[cedar zephyr]

Birds are dinosaurs confirmed

[brittle citrus]

They are, they share a common ancestor.

[boreal marlin]

Dino nuggets made of chicken, right?

[narrow sail]

Same goes for plastic dinosaurs.

[brittle citrus]

Hell yeah

[elder lintel]

some guy even got banned over it

[tender imp]

greetings once more

[brittle citrus]

Hello Iron Tech

[tender imp]

fun fact lammy

the bog striders are classified as abberations

for some reason

[brittle citrus]

Most likely because they’re not a human, elf or dwarf

[tender imp]

you may also like the fiddle bones

an undead born from a bard who died

[brittle citrus]

Ew

[tender imp]

for example before they could make their magnum opus

or out of sheer spite because their rival became better

they're a skeleton

[brittle citrus]

You can’t entertain me with shit classes like druids or bards.

[tender imp]

they don't kill you BUT they will challange you to a duel of music

[tender imp]

how about alchemist?

or inventor?

[brittle citrus]

What kind of alchemist

[tender imp]

inventors can unluck an ability called explosive jump

[tender imp]

depending on what types of feat you take

[brittle citrus]

One thing at a time, go back to the alchemist

[tender imp]

you could make a master of mutagens

a healer

or just a chemist

[teal shadow]

you can also make bombs

[tender imp]

or a bomber

[brittle citrus]

I like being a doctor who doesn’t adhere to the Hippocratic Oath.

[tender imp]

Hmmm

alchemist mutagenist

[brittle citrus]

Do no harm

[tender imp]

you get access to mutagens to buff yourself or allies

and you can heal shits

you may also like the witch

which have a patron and a familiar

they can get many different feats and spells

you can curse some poor fucks

or perhaps magos

[brittle citrus]

Burning witches is what I do on Thursdays.

[tender imp]

a wizard who knows the ancient art of throwing hands

[boreal marlin]

they are not medical doctor I assume

just doctor

of something else

[brittle citrus]

You’re right, I run a harmacy, not a pharmacy.

[boreal marlin]

based

[tender imp]

perhaps kineticists lammy

they use elemental abilities

[boreal marlin]

hypocrite oath included?

[brittle citrus]

Never heard of it

[tender imp]

you may also like investigator lammy

they are masters of investigation

many different ways to play them

perhaps a coroner

or an alchemical investigator

Fuck's a skaven doing here

anyway greetings

[brittle citrus]

Nah, I prefer necromancers and doctors-likes

[stray mountain]

that thing breaks on mobile xD

[tender imp]

Hmmmm

alchemist i'd say perhaps wizard

[brittle citrus]

<@&296918282403840000>

[tender imp]

perhaps oracle

[brittle citrus]

Stop trying to broaden my interests

[tender imp]

they are both blessed and cursed

the more they use their powers the more they get cursed

but the curse fades with rest

[brittle citrus]

Ok, you do not want me to solve a murder or any crime. Ain’t gonna work.

[teal shadow]

there will be a necromancer class soon

[tender imp]

i see

[tender imp]

there will?

[teal shadow]

yes

[tender imp]

good

[teal shadow]

along with runelord

[tender imp]

fuck's a runelord?

[brittle citrus]

Anyways, what we even talking about? Context eluded me.

[tender imp]

pathfinder classes you'd play

and pathfinder creatures

[teal shadow]

sorry, runesmith
https://downloads.paizo.com/ImpossiblePlaytest.pdf

[brittle citrus]

I’m a simple guy. Give me a bug, give me a necro or some asshole doctor class. We good.

[tender imp]

Hmmm bug and necro

[brittle citrus]

And don’t do that shit like last time with trying to give me bullshit druidism.

[tender imp]

thanks

[tender imp]

no worries

race i'd say would be surki

class would be wizard: specialising in the occult magic types

or perhaps a witch of the decaying

[brittle citrus]

We just established no witches or wizards!

[tender imp]

sorry

i don't think there are any other classes that would allow you necromancy

[brittle citrus]

I’ll do it myself

[tender imp]

gotta go

[brittle citrus]

Rabbits are delicious too

Cows

And it is approaching

[jolly marsh]

Omg take one as aprt

[jolly marsh]

I can never see syats

Light pollution

[modern heath]

Awh shucks

[lyric burrow]

Yeah, i kinda wish to visit a place with 0 light pollution

I have some, but lower then in cities

[jolly marsh]

idk where tho

[lyric burrow]

I'm trying to figure out what music would go best, when stargazing

[jolly marsh]

hmm

[jolly marsh]

like sounds or

[lyric burrow]

Perhaps c418 could do

Evening chat

[lyric burrow]

Nighty night to you

[snow heart]

Wait what

I need you to expand on this

[modern heath]

I hate to say it but maybe most game studios deserve the lay offs

[fringe veldt]

how do you join a union?

the main chat isn't responding

[modern heath]

They don't show concerns or understand games

Biased sources are the issue

[lyric burrow]

Brbrbrbrbrbrbrbr

[terse sun]

Why

[modern heath]

The narcissism of game devs is crazy

Nowadays

[lyric burrow]

Man, the drg chat is exploding with activity

[tender imp]

That's evil

Also hello you lot

[terse sun]

Only studios laying off are the big corporate giants and I can tell you that the employees don't deserve to be slaved to death and crunched just to be laid off after making a product

[modern heath]

Some people do deserve it though

[terse sun]

1 game dev doesn't speak for, at times, over 1000 employees affected

[terse sun]

Yeah but your take is super generalistic and prejudiced 😭

[modern heath]

Often those who complain the loudest after being fired are narcissistic

[lyric burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/aeiou-moonbase-alpha-omori-gif-2558978097532145585

[modern heath]

At least

[lyric burrow]

:/

[modern heath]

Yeah shills overselling things isn't just corporations

Idiots eat the slop and wonder why it never equates to anything

[lyric burrow]

Honestly, i would love to buy project zomboid and subnautica 2, but HOLY HELL THE REGIONAL PRICING

[modern heath]

That is corporations sure

[terse sun]

Can't wait for gta 6 to ruin the video games industry 🤩

[modern heath]

But my issue is when game companies hype something up and blame everything on the gamers

[lyric burrow]

Man, the negativity vibe is ain't good. How about the beautiful stars in the night sky or all the plants that growing around

[modern heath]

Negativity I think this is toxic positivity

[terse sun]

Yeah but that's not the 3D Artists fault, or the sound engineers, or programmers. That's the marketing team and usually it's the fault of executives for rushing games or making shit product in the first time.

[tender imp]

a fellow fan of space?

[terse sun]

But you know who gets impacted by layoffs? All those that are not at fault

[tender imp]

very nice

[lyric burrow]

What in the damn Uranus does Toxic positivity even mean

[tender imp]

perhaps being toxic

and accidentally being positive

[terse sun]

So why should a couple of people making a wrong move mean that potentially hundreds of others lose their job and way to make ends meet?

Saying so is frankly uneducated in what the video game making process is :/

[lyric burrow]

I'm waiting for about... 00:30 to go outside and stargaze with c418 music as ambient sound

[jolly marsh]

its when you try to mask sadness with happiness and it makes you burnout until lose the ability to talk and you start biting yourself meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

[modern heath]

Being passionate doesn't equate your art being treated with respect

[tender imp]

very nice

[modern heath]

Educated you mean indoctrinated right?

Inexperienced sure

[jolly marsh]

mechanical hands are the ruler of everything in the end

[terse sun]

??

[modern heath]

It's not the issue people are losing their jobs it is the weaponizing of our empathy that is the issue

[terse sun]

What are you talking about

[lyric burrow]

Perhaps i should play some slime rancher 2 while waiting for the right time. Bb fellas

[modern heath]

Game developers losing their job

[terse sun]

bro

Ok so if rogue core is a flop then all of GSG should get fired?

[modern heath]

No

[terse sun]

I dont understand your point

Can you elaborate?

[jolly marsh]

i played the first one with my s/o why do girls always just stay at base building stuff and i go out exploring

i think every game we've played had this dynamic

[modern heath]

But I guess game companies that aren't well perceived did that to themselves

Usually

[terse sun]

Im so confused

[strong phoenix]

Cause base mom is fun !!!!!

[jolly marsh]

hmmmmmmm

[modern heath]

Those who fail allow others to succeed

[jolly marsh]

but scary cave fun

[terse sun]

I dont think people who are not at fault should lose their jobs. Thats my opinion

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limber latch]

You release a bad game - you lose your job
You release a mediocre game - you lose your job
You release a good game - you lose your job

[terse sun]

Fuck the video games industry genuinely

[limber latch]

This is called "optimizing the process"

[modern heath]

If you have a corporate mindset yes

[lyric burrow]

Well, I'm doing this:

1. Establish basic farm that give muney.
2. Go further and explore the map, collecting new items.
3. Return to base and upgrade the money farm
4. Repeat.
   All this ehile enjoying the visuals and goofy slime activities

[limber latch]

Don't forget to increase bonus payouts to the army of efficient managers

[jolly marsh]

yeah thats the basic recipe for all the games but im normally out collecting resources and theyre raising the slimes or the luma or whatever the game has

[modern heath]

Your first mistake was working with corporations and thinking they could be trusted

[terse sun]

Not everyone has a choice

[lyric burrow]

Right now my target is to get bomb slimes, that i will fuse with honey slimes, just for fun of it

[jolly marsh]

bomb slimes were the worsstt

they cost so much stuff to keep them steady

[proper rampart]

explosiv :>

[terse sun]

Some people want to work on video games and right now the industry is made of giants, If you can even get in

[jolly marsh]

i liked the night slimes

they looked like moths

[tender imp]

explosives?

:)

[terse sun]

Everyone works for someone

[modern heath]

They never fire the correct people unfortunately

[terse sun]

If you dont own the business you work for. You are working for someone

[proper rampart]

💣

[terse sun]

Thats just how it is.

[lyric burrow]

I already established needed farms for contaiment, but i also have chicken apocalypse (there is so many, that they even started escaping the nest)

[modern heath]

Influencers and Media outlets are the issue

The corruption goes deeper then just game companies

[lilac kiln]

Have you ever seen how they get out its so funny

If there's too many there's just a chicken explosion

[proper rampart]

a clucksterbomb, as it were

[modern heath]

The people who make the horrible decisions are never held accountable until the company goes already bankrupt

Or long after the damage was done

[lyric burrow]

Yep. Like i even have wall upgrade, it's a chicken pool

And my slimes can't even consime them this fast

[jolly marsh]

Crocodiles are fake crocodillians

Man that sucks

True crocodiles are dead

Have been dead a long time

[lyric burrow]

Wut?

[modern heath]

They're far weirder then you think

Names are misleading new information says otherwise

[lyric burrow]

There was so many convergent evolutionw, that a basic human will be confused as hell

[modern heath]

True crocodiles are dead

So truthfully

[lyric burrow]

Where the hell did you even read that?

[modern heath]

The age of dinosaurs was really the peak of reptiles too

[lyric burrow]

Are you refering to sarcosuchus?

[modern heath]

Yes

Then you get poposaurus

[lyric burrow]

If you do, this mf is not even in crocodylia, he's outside, he's an crocodylifeforms, and to be specific an pholidosauridae

[modern heath]

I don't see this

Not being a relative

It's got them gator claws too

[bright cedar]

is my build good?

[lyric burrow]

Poposaurus. He's so unrelated to sarcosuchus, that wikipedia ain't enev showing him

[modern heath]

But isn't that a archosaur

Convergent evolution is a beautiful thing

[lyric burrow]

That's a hella wrong channel fella, it's non drg zone

[bright cedar]

broo i cant send pics in drg chat

[lyric burrow]

Very, but did you know that an Amphibian convergent evolution to an crocodile?

[lyric burrow]

No one can.

try doing it in gallery

[ivory current]

are you playing on a square monitor

[bright cedar]

1080x1080

[modern heath]

Amphibians are why dinosaurs likely exist

Reptiles even

[lyric burrow]

Also, frogs are amphibians.

[modern heath]

So frogs could likely be older then dinosaurs

They are

They really got diverse after the mass extinction of dinosaurs

[lyric burrow]

The amphibians are not even part of sauropsida

[modern heath]

I mean they did diverge from one another awhile ago

Older then reptiles

[celest reef]

Everything changed when one cell decided to become two

[spice sphinx]

Sir this is non drg

[bright cedar]

yea i know

sorry gng

[lyric burrow]

Reptiles belong to a group called amniotes (which also includes birds and mammals). Amphibians branched off earlier. Reptiles did not evolve from modern amphibians.

[spice sphinx]

Blowing up the evolution tree

[modern heath]

Triadobatrachus

Likely is just convergent evolution

[lyric burrow]

The split happened 330 millions years ago. This fella lived 250 millions years old

[modern heath]

Ah

Dinosaurs are confusing enough

I hate biology sometimes

[lyric burrow]

[snow heart]

@stray mountain #drg-chat message The reason provided to me when I asked a few months ago was that any sort of discussion about that Wiki would result in people looking it up, boosting its traction and the likelihood of it appearing in search results

[stray mountain]

ye ik, saying idk was more of voicing frustration with the fact they do that, I've seen them explain it

Your explanation is appreciated though, thanks ^-^

[modern heath]

Subnautica 2 is way too easy

Trying to defend it despite it is new they are cracking down so hard on the modding scene

The user end agreement and krafton is all I need to say

Farming doesn't mean anything here

Companies own the land and you can't plant anything without their permission

[rigid niche]

I am quite an subnautica 1 expert, is 2 is any good?

Its like i explored every inch of the map literally

[modern heath]

It's not

Same people that made below zero

[rigid niche]

I mean also same people who made subnautica 1 yes?

So they made restriction to modding for no reason?

To an singleplayergame?

[modern heath]

Second game is multiplayer

[rigid niche]

Oh... now it makes more sense

[modern heath]

But it's not a pvp game

It's pve

[rigid niche]

From images i saw. It feels like subnautica 2's planet isn't quite different from previous one, which strange. I understant alterra equipment being identical or game progress being similar but why does the new planet looks so familiar and felt like copied?

[modern heath]

Because they were afraid after below zero

Though I don't feel that is why people hated below zero

It had good atmosphere sure

[rigid niche]

If they will try to copy paste subnautica 1 without anything standing out people will assume its an moneygrab. As if people ran out of new ideas while there was so many fanmade biome ideas for subnautica 2

[white ruin]

meow

[rigid niche]

When i saw people starting underwater i assumed "Oh yeah now thats different, we race to surface?" Then like: naah its safe shallows 2.0

[modern heath]

The whole thing about subnautica was how lonely and small they made you feel

The sense of exploration and the size of the map

[rigid niche]

This time it is an colony ship of sorts yes? Not an rescue ship

If they will add minimap it might ruin the immersion of being lost but also having no map can screw up multiplayer

[modern heath]

Prisoners

[rigid niche]

Oh... prisoners. Thats interesting

So it is colony to australia except stuck in ocean but space travel? xD

[modern heath]

You're reprinted without your memories

[rigid niche]

Now thats quite questionable action by alterra

I guess they needed an reason to have characters having no backstory

[modern heath]

Workers

That alterra doesn't care about

If they're prisoners especially why should they

[rigid niche]

When i think about it, technically alterran soldiers respawn in natural selection 2

So its sorta similar i guess

[modern heath]

Alterra is literally like if you're not deemed useful we will not reprint you

But the cool thing about the second game you can adapt alien biology to yourself

Hopefully they go more into that mechanic and fix the building

[rigid niche]

I wonder will we met emperor leviathan again as she said she will reincarnate

Just an random thought xd

[modern heath]

On this planet?

Different planet entirely

[rigid niche]

I dunno how it will work. When you reincarnate you are not connected to previous self

[modern heath]

The tree spreads the virus

[rigid niche]

Hmm

[modern heath]

Protea virus

Forms cankers or blooms

[rigid niche]

Is the objective to kill the tree or leave the planet in one piece?

[modern heath]

Well it is game preview so I dunno

But I take it yes

We landed on the wrong planet but we were meant to land on a desert planet

[rigid niche]

In wheres my village is. One particular tree i forgot its name. Grows at center of an lake and drains all the water eventually. They planted to remove swamps naturally

Its some kind of over water consuming tall tree

It shrinks lakes or swamps

[modern heath]

A big tree

[rigid niche]

Not that big as one in subnautica 2

But still taller then trees you see in the parks

Likely taller then ordinary pine tree

Found its english name

Weeping willow

In turkish we call it "söğüt ağacı"

[spice sphinx]

Scree

[rigid niche]

ö doesn't exists in english as vocal sound so it is impossible to explain how to pronounce it xD

Random fact: There are no single vocal alphabet word in arabic, this means it is extremely difficult to read arabic writing vocally because there is no explanation on how to read it.

[modern heath]

Oh yeah I had one in my front yard

Beautiful trees

A shame they are very water hungry

It's bad in non-swampy places because of their aggressive short roots

[opaque drum]

in swedish, it's more of an 'uhh' sound

[zinc ocean]

I wonder how much the games that get the temporal exclusivity on Epic Games benefit from it.

It is a curious phenomenon because they do the exclusive launch with some immediate and very notable benefits because of the deal with Epic and get all the press coverage and such.

[tribal crater]

in the early days epic was handing out a large sum of money for games to have a year or 2 exclusive, but i dont think they can afford it anymore

[zinc ocean]

But of course when the exclusivity ends, it is basically a completely new launch; with a solid reputation already established and press coverage again with the usual "this epic exclusive finally arrives to Steam..."

So I wonder if that double launch and double press is actually more benefit to them than just directly landing onto Steam

[zinc ocean]

It seems the deal has worsen over the years

[tribal crater]

its hard to say because some of the bad games dont make it to steam so that skews the results

[zinc ocean]

I guess is a matter of individual cases but I don't think any developer was open about it

One can just assume

Like, Sifu or Hades, Dead Island 2, the deal went pretty well

[tribal crater]

last i checked the deal evolved from "heres a lump sum of money" to, "if your using unreal engine your first million is royalty free"

[zinc ocean]

[tribal crater]

ah heres the exact terms,

as of 2023 that's the current deal

[toxic pilot]

good night my friends I get to sleep while it's raining outside:D

[elder lintel]

It was some random guy being a bigot for no reason, shouldn't have mentioned it lol. Happy to see you're back

Ah that's always great. It's good to be back though

[void heath]

Lowkey is kinda terrifying ngl

[loud mountain]

I played a street brawl match as Victor and i completely understand why people dont like him

That was some of the least interesting gameplay ive had in recent memory

[kind loom]

bro fell asleep at the sleepover first

[restive pier]

Wasn’t HADES in Early Access on Steam first or was I missing something from those early ads?

[restive pier]

They do lots of things!

[zinc ocean]

It arrived to Steam still in EA

But the first part of the EA was on Epic

[restive pier]

Wack

So it basically had like 3 releases

Yipee!!

I played with Bork this morning

I sawwww, the game is a ton of fun

[dusty cloak]

It is!!

Can't believe the French make another banger

Makes my brain mush though with how much can go on

[dusty cloak]

First caravan palace and now this

[regal nest]

-# Helldivers not go a day without some dumb shit happening challenge impossible

[ornate kettle]

The french have been involved with banger after banger lately

[dusty cloak]

I mean helldivers 2 lost me when it got overly popular

Got a lot of the uh

Xenophobic crowds going

Like sure sure it's fiction but.. the way these people talk make me think they don't just take it functionally

[regal nest]

Yeah I dun blame ya

[dusty cloak]

Same reason I find some Warhammer fans insufferable

[ornate kettle]

Pretty similar that way I suppose

[ornate kettle]

I can generally enjoy something without getting too involved with the greater fandom

[dusty cloak]

Like that fat 50 year old dude at 8 pm blasting Warhammer mankind first music at full volume at the bus stop at a major point

Like.. hear from a block away loud.

[ornate kettle]

Thats called your hearing is rooted

[dusty cloak]

rooted?

[ornate kettle]

Stuffed,borked, broken

[dusty cloak]

Ahh

[ornate kettle]

Atleast thats how i intend to the meaning

[ornate kettle]

But uh words can have multiple meanings

[dusty cloak]

Rooted

Plant

[ornate kettle]

Problem with English is words can be spelt the same but have a different meaning depending on the context in which it's used

Hi there
I've been learning a lot about bugs in my biology classes

You have A LOT of species

[brittle citrus]

Poggers, I bought a weird looking baking pan for $2 yesterday

[brittle citrus]

Zack D Films made a short about if all bugs on Earth weigh more than humans or all humans on Earth weigh more than bugs. It’s a good watch

[dusty cloak]

Oh hell yeah, biology is fun... Though I've learnt an uncomfortable amount about anuses unfortunately

[brittle citrus]

There are so many more interesting organs than anuses. My personal favorite organ is the skin.

[dusty cloak]

That is very true
I like the eye spots on flat worms
They look just like un-evolved eyes, down to the very location

[brittle citrus]

It’s most likely a very simplistic eye. Lots of invertebrates have simple eyes (spiders and mantises [sort of] for example) and some like flies have compound eyes.

Mantises are infamous for having both eyes. 2 compound eyes and 3 simple eyes between the two. The simple eyes act like a photo camera and the compounds act like a stop motion camera. Giving the mantis a rudimentary 8-bit video game vision.

[dusty cloak]

Oh well for flat worms they're photosensitive! It's how they see light, so they're just very very basic eyes yeah!

[brittle citrus]

I had a feeling

[eternal knoll]

flat fuck

[brittle citrus]

Hey you go away, pan and I are on a scientific journey to make the first human insect.

[eternal knoll]

I thought that was you

[dusty cloak]

We've got some of the same components..

I would like to see with all those hexagons

[brittle citrus]

No, that was Jeff Goldblum. Weird incident regarding teleporters and flies back in 1986.

"I love roleplaying a racist
Helps me practice for real life"

[versed vale]

LMFAO

Meanwhile I'm painting smiley faces with bullet holes into the walls with the enemy team on titanfall

Make :) not war

[dusty cloak]

Yeah I dunno man, the game was fine at the start.
But fuck sake, why do people keep falling for obvious propaganda bait

It's supposed to be satirical

[versed vale]

DIVER!!! I UNDERSTAND YOU JUST GOT THE GAME BUT I MUST YELL AT YOU!!!

FOR IMMERSION!!!!

[versed vale]

There's no racism on super earth they must be the good guys

Like it's so obvious it's actually a little dumb

Inherently evil

[dusty cloak]

I ain't gonna say everyone who plays it is like that, that's not true
Just
It seems to be common in the people I've met who enjoy the game

[versed vale]

"You don't think like us we're gonna find you and kill you"

[strange cradle]

"Oh but super earth looks amazing, look at the suburbs in the intr-"
The pointedly in-universe propaganda video being played:

[versed vale]

Yeah the game just attracts the wrong crowd

I love arrowhead game design they act like the enemies want balance changes too

[dusty cloak]

True

[versed vale]

Hiveguards have better armor than a tank

[dusty cloak]

Hahaha

Balance is so funny to me

I just prefer the Warframe approach

Make everything dumb

Have fun

[versed vale]

We buffed mech health! Also bugs do more mech damage now. Go screw yourself, divers. We don't care about you at all. We're creating the industry plant of all time, can't fret over every single player.

[versed vale]

Trueee

Like in some games a freaking branch can one tap a guy. Is that realistic? Hell no. But it's fun it's cool

[dusty cloak]

I play video games to escape my 9-5
Not play one

[versed vale]

Like in IAYB a tree branch decapitates a COI agent

Harding don't skip arm day I suppose

[versed vale]

What's that one thing Gabe said? Games aren't supposed to be realistic they're supposed to be fun

I think realism can be made fun

But there's a lot more potential when you kind of just ignore it and go with the guidelines

[lilac kiln]

crab champions is such an incredible game

[versed vale]

Like for instance I have thought about making a game. And yes, a shovel is a very powerful tool. Because that's fun. You can destroy robots and whatnot with it. Throw it like a javelin. And yes. Those robots are bulletproof. Does it make sense a bulletproof machine gets rended apart by a shovel? No. But it would be hella funny

I'm kind of obsessed with melee items. if the game ever comes to fruition, you can bet melee will be one of the most unbalanced aspects

Hmm can I learn game design, storyboarding, 3d modeling, marketing and more in the span of two months

[lilac kiln]

ive become the crab champion

[lilac kiln]

one way to find out

[versed vale]

Good thing I have like half of voice acting covered. I think it would be comedic if the robots and the clones had one voice actor and just some voice changer shenanigans like pitching up and down
