[rough mirage]

The room with the stretching walls was cool

[violet path]

oh cool shiekra

[twin bough]

Still looks like a fun ride tho

[craggy cave]

Nah Draken

[sinful flare]

tf is this

is that just damage or instadie

[burnt topaz]

7hp

its the blood on the wheel spin

[sinful flare]

oh

what char btw

[violet path]

no its shiekra

[rough mirage]

I liked magic mountain

I thought it was interesting

[twin bough]

The brake run is in a completely different place?

[craggy cave]

I see looks similar

[twin bough]

The track layout looks different too

I can see where you are coming from tho

[violet path]

its the exact same lifehill curve into the 90 degree drop that goes into a massive immelmann that curves into a second smaller 90 degree drop after a mid course brake run that then turns into a splashdown and ends

[flat remnant]

Just finished seconds by the scott pilgrim author that was so fucking good

[violet path]

the only difference is that shiekra has like a tiny bit more turns in between the elements

[twin bough]

I wanna go to parque warner it looks like a fun place and its in europe

[violet path]

like come on a curve going into the splashdown in shiekra and heres the exact same thing pretty much on the other ride

just that the curve starts from a slightly different place

but they still both come from the second drop which also looks identical

[twin bough]

Yeah fair

You know what else has a cool splash effect

[violet path]

beats me

[twin bough]

Shambhala has a pretty epic one

Ill stop shilling portaventura now it has shitty operations

And has for the last 2 years

[violet path]

Is that shiekra

In the background

With the dark blue supports and red track

[twin bough]

No its dragon khan

A coaster that opened 10 years prior to shiekra

[pallid jolt]

ur mom

[twin bough]

BASED

[violet path]

Cap

[twin bough]

Its literally not my guy

Dragon khan opened in 1995

[violet path]

Il

[marsh ibex]

I’m finna box these dumb fucks

[craggy cave]

It seems like they both were made by same company

[marsh ibex]

Take your shit put of the fucking dryer

[violet path]

I get the feeling this park likes b&m

[marsh ibex]

Most annoying shit to have to wait on their sorry asses to wash my clothes

[twin bough]

It might just be those 2 iirc but they do interact which is very nice

They got a couple of intamins

[craggy cave]

Actually they say all of their floorless diving coasters have same layout

Whatever the hell that means

[smoky dagger]

Holy shit hi ss discussion

[gilded adder]

PogPoger

[twin bough]

One is tall the other is flat

[flat remnant]

Poggymepog

[twin bough]

Oh actually uncharted is there too now

If i recall that was intamin

Yeah

[smoky dagger]

@twin bough are you really a star wars nerd?

[twin bough]

Yeah

[smoky dagger]

Thank heavens, I've forgotten some character names. Could you list all of them?

[twin bough]

Sure!

[rough mirage]

Alfie don't

Please don't

[twin bough]

Ill start with the clones

[smoky dagger]

[rough mirage]

Ahhhhh

[violet path]

A COUPLE?

[smoky dagger]

If you really do it i will be so happy

[violet path]

They rich or sum

[smoky dagger]

Also hi toast

[rough mirage]

I hate you, I hate you, get out of my house

[twin bough]

3 i was wrong

[violet path]

Hola

[twin bough]

And one is the current tallest in europe

And before that the other one was the fastest in europe iirc

But now they have uncharted too

[smoky dagger]

@ me if you list every character in star wars @twin bough

[violet path]

Ok but

[twin bough]

They used to be owned by universal

[violet path]

Still

[twin bough]

The park used to be universal meditterania

[violet path]

3 intamins is insane

[twin bough]

Yeah true

[sinful flare]

tf is an intamin

[twin bough]

It is a genuinely great park

[sinful flare]

vitamin but spelled wrong?

[twin bough]

The theming is incredible most of the time

[twin bough]

Something like that

[sinful flare]

oh ok bye

[formal iris]

Whoah its almost 1am again that’s crazy

[twin bough]

Interestingly when NBC sold it they kept some characters and now woody woodpecker is the mascot of the park

Random character to be the mascot but oh well

[craggy cave]

You mean 9AM

[dusk wharf]

Crazy right?

[formal iris]

I mean that’s your opinion

[dusk wharf]

Imagine being awake at 1 am

[twin bough]

Couldnt be me

[dusk wharf]

Is me right now

[craggy cave]

I guess you cant help with having bad timezones. I respect you and your wrong timezone.

[formal iris]

All I remember is that just yesterday I was looking at funny wikihow images

[twin bough]

No actually i should sleep i need to be up at 6

[dusk wharf]

Sleep yea

[formal iris]

Nah, 9am just means you’re closer to the heat death of the universe because that’s totally how timezones work

Anyway, anything interesting happen in the next 8 hours

[dusk wharf]

Like what

[craggy cave]

You stay awake next 8 hours

[formal iris]

Idk silksong getting cancelled

It would happen on a Sunday

[dusk wharf]

Hope that happens

[craggy cave]

And spend the rest of the day tired

[carmine island]

(real)

[rough mirage]

Omg hi spiders

[craggy cave]

Like I will
God save my sleep schedule

[dusk wharf]

I havent slept in 2 days you guys are kinda mid

[full nexus]

pokemon black 2 is the worst pokemon game smh everyone here wo said gen 5 was good is bad

[dusk wharf]

Hey sludge

[charred pulsar]

Cancelled?!

[rough mirage]

How have you been?

[craggy cave]

Gen 5 best gen

[dusk wharf]

Nice and you?

[twin bough]

Yeah i accidentally cancelled it

[craggy cave]

Literally has Serperior

[formal iris]

On Twitter.

[rough mirage]

Pretty decent

[full nexus]

Gen 5 is trash you just get spamed with hipnosis t wave confusion and you get terible rng and its just not fun

[dusk wharf]

Good to know

[formal iris]

Turns out hornet was involved with some risky dealings

Got leaked to the press y’know

[full nexus]

gen 5 is garbage and i hate it

[violet path]

Me when i lie

[rough mirage]

Hornet connected to the mob

[dusk wharf]

Fr fr ong ong

[twin bough]

You really have some of the worst takes huh

[violet path]

Me when i lie

[craggy cave]

Imagine playing online matches in pokemon

[formal iris]

Hornet actually supports IGN

[dusk wharf]

Nerd

[full nexus]

i have been more mad playing pokemon black 2 then the time i have put into dark souls

[violet path]

Gen 5 has the best pokemon GAME but that doesnt make it the best gen

[formal iris]

Cyrus is the worst evil team leader ngl

[violet path]

Are you mocking or being legit

[formal iris]

Fucker hates Pokemon yet has a Crobat

[full nexus]

marnie

[violet path]

Me when an evil team leader stole a pokemon

[formal iris]

Not even an evil team leader though

[full nexus]

technicly is

[violet path]

Cyrus is the best evil team leader (or at the very least the most evil)

[full nexus]

also guzma is kinda lame

[sinful flare]

guzma b

[formal iris]

No, team yell isn’t evil just weird

[violet path]

He wants to literally pull a thanos and destroy the entire universe to create a new one

[full nexus]

cyrus is prob the worse of the actual evilt eam leaders

[formal iris]

That kinda plot is more generic than a normal type rodent

[violet path]

But the new one isnt even for all of team galactic, its for just himself so that the universe can finally be devoid of spirit which he finds weak

[violet path]

Oh but expanding the sea thats really cool

[twin bough]

Right gn guys

[full nexus]

the nmaxie then archie gyetsis then lysander then geovanie

[formal iris]

At least it’s more original

[twin bough]

Dont steal my arms

[violet path]

Fighting global warming? Thats far more evil than killing everyone and everything

[full nexus]

gen 5 is making me want to break my 3ds with how bad the confusion and pralysis and hypnosis spam is

[twin bough]

Ooooooohhh you hate it because you have no skill

[full nexus]

my team is reasonably leveled and its just bad

[violet path]

Name like 1 other bad guy that wants to create a new universe with just himself for the purpose of having no emotion or spirit that came before platinum came out

[full nexus]

geovani is the best evil team leader

[craggy cave]

It cannot be worse than gen 2 gameplaywise

[violet path]

Geovani is the actual most generic one

[full nexus]

gen 2 i had less bs then this

[violet path]

Like what does he even want other than to be a mafia boss or something

[formal iris]

I mean, when you word it like that it’s much more interesting, but in execution it just sounds comical

[violet path]

Gen 2 is the worst generation of pokemon that isnt gen 9

[full nexus]

nah bro he is generic but realy good he is liderly just a pokemon mob boss who sells pokemon and creates pokemon and he is sick

[full nexus]

gen 8 was worse then gen 2 and gen 1

[craggy cave]

Why does he need to be more?

[marsh ibex]

You mean gen 6

[formal iris]

Like “I fucking hate Pokémon, they suck. Emotions suck, GO CROBAT” and it’s not like he stole it, not many Pokémon evil teams actually steal Pokémon, it’s just team rocket basically

[marsh ibex]

Lysandre

[formal iris]

Lysandre is worse nvm I forgot he existed

[violet path]

So forgettable that i forgot it

[full nexus]

lysander was cool he was liderly going to do a prity nice thing and make the world a better plase

gen 6 was peak

[marsh ibex]

he was barely in gen 6’s game time

He basically repeats the same “i’m gonna nuke the world to fix it” shtick

[formal iris]

So sorry to Cyrus forgot that the dude that shows up, tries to kill everyone - including himself - then disappears

[marsh ibex]

and he’s the most forgettable evil team boss

[craggy cave]

Gen 6 story is kinda lame

[violet path]

He literally captures and tortures the lake legends

[full nexus]

geo is best

[violet path]

Plus you get friendship by walking anyways not by interacting with pokemon so like

[marsh ibex]

Cmon that’s game mechanics

[violet path]

Gen 6 is kinda lame

[craggy cave]

Crobat would be just developers not being considerate enough

[formal iris]

Ghetsis’ team makes a lot of sense, dude hates Pokemon, has a hydreigon with maxed out frustration.

[marsh ibex]

honestly mega evolutions were lame

[full nexus]

gen 6 is very good wdym the amount of pokemon you can catch in every route is amazing the story is ok its not the best but it could be worse

[marsh ibex]

[formal iris]

Honestly Jojoker based af

[violet path]

Honestly youre baiting >:)

[craggy cave]

Like how in earlier gens npcs having impossible level pokemons

[marsh ibex]

It’s not bait

[violet path]

Tbh dynamax is better but mega is still fantastic

[marsh ibex]

Only half of the megas had decent designs

[full nexus]

gen 6 liderly has the most interesting playthrew teams ever and you can see so many pokemon so stop craping on gen 6

[violet path]

Oh so its an opinion thing

[marsh ibex]

70% of them really shouldn’t have gotten them

[violet path]

Playthrew

[marsh ibex]

And at the end of the day it’s conceptually cool but was executed badly

[violet path]

Sure you would love gen 6 because you can beat it with your eyes closed

[opal dew]

Are we talking about pokemon every game is bad except detective pikachu cause I think he's funny in that game

[full nexus]

yea its easiy but its not to easy

[violet path]

Only more like 40%

[marsh ibex]

you can see “so many pokemon” in every generation lmao

that’s not a point in their favor

[violet path]

Diamond and pearl

[formal iris]

X and Y are some of the most boring games in the Pokemon series imo, I honestly don’t think I could find a less interesting set of characters and post game than x and y

[full nexus]

you can liderly catch like 30 pokemon before the first gym in x and y

[craggy cave]

Such variety in usable fire type pokemons

[formal iris]

All I know is that platinum is what made gen 4 good

[violet path]

x and y have lame characters, lame story, lame combat because its so easy, and pretty cool legends i’ll give it that

[marsh ibex]

the playthrough doesn’t feel interesting because the routes and stories aren’t engaging. It visually looks really good but other than that? Meh

[violet path]

Best game in gen 4 easily

[craggy cave]

60% of that is making health bar go down faster

[violet path]

Hgss didnt fix enough of the problems with gen 2, but hgss is still pretty good

[marsh ibex]

Pokemon isn’t really known for the most in depth gameplay or difficulty but damn gen 6 really feels like the worst of it

[violet path]

The pacing of dp in general sucks

[formal iris]

Gen 2 Pokémon has some of the weirdest designs for “fully evolved” pokemon

[full nexus]

gen 8 was liderly a cake walk dont act like gen 6 is the worst

[violet path]

Plus a bad dex, the story conclusion is way worse

The swamp portions arent fixed yet

[violet path]

Gen 8 is a hardcore kaizo nuzlocke compared to gen 6

[formal iris]

Most gen 2 Pokémon rely on other generations to be cool

[violet path]

Ya

[full nexus]

its like super easy to overlevel in gen 8 man i was overleveled for the first gym

[violet path]

In gen 2, the mons are so horribly weak and lame that the gym leaders just use kanto pokemon

[craggy cave]

Leveling up your pokemon in gen 2 fighting wild pokemons challenge(impossible)

[formal iris]

Murkrow and misdreavus, who looked at these and said “fully evolved!”

[violet path]

Do not even try to make a case for gen 6 being hard buddy. The elite four doesnt even have full fucking teams, the LAST GYM LEADER STILL DOESNT EVEN USE MEGAS

[formal iris]

Oh yeah sneasel too

Also just delibird.

Why does delibird.

[violet path]

All those evos end up being really cool tho

[formal iris]

How many gen 2 Pokémon got evolutions in later generations?

[violet path]

Because they sucked at first

Anyways emerald is the best pokemon game

[formal iris]

I know girafarig, sneasel, Murkrow togetic and misdreavus all got evolutions, but what others are there assuming I missed some?

Piloswine into mamoswine

At least Piloswine looked fine for a fully evolved Pokemon

[violet path]

Ya lefends arcoos and b2 are great

[sinful flare]

now thats some real shit

[formal iris]

Was duskull a gen 2 or gen 4 Pokemon? I’m pretty sure it’s gen 4 but I’m not sure

[hot rampart]

I don't care what any of those bozos say
almond joys are good

[formal iris]

What Pokémon games are good and which ones aren’t Unova

[craggy cave]

Gen3

[formal iris]

Ah

[violet path]

Emerald and platinum clear bw any day of the week except thursday

[craggy cave]

Love Serperior

[violet path]

Serperior when it gets 0 grass moves until lvl 60:

[craggy cave]

Its not how powerful it is

Its everything else

[violet path]

No emerald is excellent

[formal iris]

Black 2 and White 2 gave zorua a presence outside of being an event

[violet path]

Is the pokemon world tourney in bw or just b2w2

[formal iris]

The weirder part is how zorua needed gen 4 events to be accessed

[craggy cave]

They got to have money

[formal iris]

What was the logic for that other than zoroark getting revealed in a gen 4 themed movie

Pokemon company make me question their sanity sometimes

[craggy cave]

I stopped after bdsp

[full nexus]

bro some pokemon in gen 5 are so weird to get and i genuenly hate it

[formal iris]

Honestly, if they make gen 5 remakes I hope they actually make it themselves

[full nexus]

why is volcorona a static inconter and why is the therian trio event only

[violet path]

I can

[formal iris]

They weren’t events, they were an entirely seperate 3ds game of all things

[violet path]

I hope they dont make gen 5 remakes

I would much prefer a port

[full nexus]

and that is in fact stupid

[formal iris]

I’m just saying, Gen 5 remakes can be good. assuming they don’t give it to ILCA.

[shell yacht]

remakes are ass
lore is fucked
pokemon is dead

[violet path]

They made sv and it still sucked

[formal iris]

Scarlet Violet are at least fun

[shell yacht]

oras was only good remake bc postgame lore fight me

[violet path]

The last good remake was lets go

[craggy cave]

I mean did they really have to make bdsp

[full nexus]

if they make gen 5 remakes just give it exp share and fairy type and update teams a bit and mabey add modern pokemon and newer post game and boom easy 10/10

[violet path]

Lets go games are fun

[craggy cave]

Couldnt they announce legend arceus as gen4 remake

[full nexus]

oras is liderly the best pokemon remakes ever it liderly has one flaw of a shit battle area

oras is my fav pokemon games

[formal iris]

BDSP was made by the third party ILCA. It’s not a remake, it’s an enhanced port with 3d graphics. The code is near fucking identical.

[full nexus]

you could play bdsp on a 3ds smh

[charred surge]

Oras do be neat, I’m actually intending to do a nuzlock on one of em but I keep forgetting by to lol

[formal iris]

I don’t need to see the code to know this because the void glitch was left in the game.

[shell yacht]

they market remakes and remasters
yall buy into it
cycle continues
be the chosen undead that says no

[craggy cave]

Sad that real gen4 remakes are never being made
Gen4 was my childhood

[full nexus]

dont nuzlocke it do a wonderlock of it

[formal iris]

Legends arceus is probably the reason we never got good gen 4 remakes either.

[full nexus]

you wondertrade your inconters

[charred surge]

whar ❔

[full nexus]

bro yall havent done wonderlocks

yall are so lame

[formal iris]

Surprise trading before gen 8

[charred surge]

Cool, still would prefer to do a nuzlocke

[violet path]

I liked the old name more

[formal iris]

Same

[violet path]

Nuzlockes are a lot more strategy and difficulty

[formal iris]

Surprise trading sounds less fun

[full nexus]

bro oras is so goated i have played oras so much just because of wonderlocks

[formal iris]

Yeah, online support is still on 3ds-

[charred surge]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-why-im-here-obi-wan-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-gif-18535648

[full nexus]

do yall just like throw your 3dses ina bunker and never use them bruh

[violet path]

Ya but its hard to find a match

[violet path]

No i have mine right here

[full nexus]

dam bro 3ds is the best system use it more

you liderly only need one ds

[violet path]

The switch is objectively better in like literally every way

[formal iris]

I wish gamefreak just had one main team and actually took their time with making games

[full nexus]

worse pokemon games

[craggy cave]

Switch has hollow knight

And silksong in future

[full nexus]

3ds can liderly play gen 1 2 4 5 6 and 7 its my fav device

i prefer games on pc tbh

[charred surge]

I like playing pokemon but it’s kinda easy to get used to how it plays so having to opportunity to eat shit and have actual challenge appeals to me. Even more fun is that I know basically nothing of the nitty gritty of optimal pokemon strats lmao

[formal iris]

but do you do it legally?

[violet path]

Lets see.. on the 3ds you get.. horribly xy, pretty good oras, and ok smusum. On the switch you get legends arcoos

[full nexus]

you should do my gen 7 and up pokemon chalange then smh liderly the hardest thing ever

[violet path]

You cant get it legally at all

“Piracy isnt legal??”

[charred surge]

Y’all’re console warring over stuff from the same company 😭

[formal iris]

If you take your own ROMs I believe it isn’t piracy, but downloading ROMs is piracy I believe

[serene chasm]

switch cant do 3d thus ists trash

[full nexus]

3ds can play so many systems of games its crasy and it can all fit in your pockets

[craggy cave]

[violet path]

Ik but this guy is basically saying that a ps3 is better than a ps5

[violet path]

My 3ds cant do 3d anymore either :(

[violet path]

Its crasy?

I was crasy once

[full nexus]

i am tempted to get an r4 card so i can play gba on my 3ds

[formal iris]

The distribution of ROMs is 100% illegal if I’m not mistaken

[full nexus]

its technicly legal if the company dosent give a way to obtain the game anymore

[violet path]

You are mistaken

[craggy cave]

They locked me in a room.

[formal iris]

I know it’s something to do with downloading ROMs from the internet that’s illegal

[full nexus]

BRO A ZORAWARK GAVE ME SNARL WTF

[formal iris]

Because thats straight up piracy.

[violet path]

Yes where else are you getting roms

[formal iris]

How did the ROMs get uploaded in the first place is my counter point.

[languid linden]

Your local drug dealer

[violet path]

Unless you like decode the cartridge and port it over to your pc

[full nexus]

Jessy we need to make roms

jessy lets cook roms

[formal iris]

If you take your own ROMs and don’t distribute them then that’s fine I think

[violet path]

They dont sell them anymore so you cant get it 100% legally

Since every way to get it is a higher price resell

[full nexus]

unless nintendo sues you its legal

anythings legal if you dont get caught

[craggy cave]

Everything is illegal👀

[violet path]

If you download it its illegal but not enforced

[formal iris]

I can’t read

[craggy cave]

What? I cant read either

Could you read it for me

[formal iris]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-boom-knuckles-oh-wait-i-cant-read-i-cant-read-cant-read-gif-21829075

Sonic boom is the show of all time

[violet path]

Damn a coaster at my local theme park just got in an incident where a large portion of the track was destroyed

[formal iris]

You ever just chill at 1:30 am and swear you hear doors opening

[craggy cave]

Was there any casualties

[full nexus]

rich game colectors who care about the ultra rare games like micy mouse poo poo house 3d ultra delux simulator are lame ngl

[violet path]

I think everyones ok

[craggy cave]

Thats a relief

My local theme park closed due to casualties from accident

[formal iris]

Honestly it’s more fun to play games on original hardware imo though. Issue is XD gale of darkness costs 1/4 of a Nintendo switch

[full nexus]

bro cory in the house is the best ds game ever created

[formal iris]

Cory in the House for ds > hollow knight

[full nexus]

all seriousness what even is cory int he house

never even heard of that outside of jokes

[formal iris]

[craggy cave]

Anyways do you guys know any bird game

[full nexus]

honestly getting games phisical is better then digital

[craggy cave]

I wanna play a game featuring birds

[violet path]

Not really

[full nexus]

angry birbs

[formal iris]

Angry Birds Star Wars

https://tenor.com/view/dd-gif-25061909

[craggy cave]

I dont think theyre real birds, they got no wings

[formal iris]

That’s a fucking 3d animated bird right there

[full nexus]

theres this crow zelda game i remember seeing thats supost to be a like a top down zelda game but a crow

[craggy cave]

It got arms

[formal iris]

Anyway Guzma is cool

https://tenor.com/view/guzma-guzmán-you-stupid-pokémon-gif-24445135

[craggy cave]

Death's door?

[formal iris]

Team Skull are hardly an evil team but I still love them

[violet path]

"cyrus is bad" "guzma is cool"

[violet path]

i like them a lot too and their town is cool but come on

[formal iris]

There’s different reasons for that-

[full nexus]

i think

it might be a raven now that i think about it

[craggy cave]

Well I expected more flying for a bird game but I would look into it

Seriously Ive been trying to find a game with birds which fly and had no avail

[violet path]

angyr bir

[craggy cave]

They dont even fly

[formal iris]

Guzma is stupid. He’s dumb. This is a good thing about him.

[craggy cave]

Theyre thrown like a rock

[formal iris]

Cyrus makes no sense, he has a cult of weirdos with bowl cuts and some that are named after planets helping him traverse the plane of space and time for only his benefit.

[violet path]

cyrus is intimidating, oppressive, poses the biggest threat, is cool, has the strongest team of any leader. This is a good thing about him

[violet path]

have you PLAYED PLATINUM

[formal iris]

Is he an active terrorist.

[violet path]

he literally bombs the lakes, and kidnaps the pokemon to torture them for an experiment

[craggy cave]

Cyrus steals tails from slowpokes

[formal iris]

Does he attempt to murder a child.

[sinful flare]

oh i just remembered who cyrus was
wheatley looks sane next to cyrus

[violet path]

the grunts are told they will get power and happiness in the new universe

[violet path]

he attempts to murder every child

[formal iris]

But does he actively try to murder someone.

In the middle of the gameplay.

[craggy cave]

He steals tails from slowpokes

[violet path]

wow the bdsp design for cyrus sucks

[formal iris]

Cyrus is just excessive.

Yes all the way

Ghetsis actually has a team that fits with his lore

[craggy cave]

Litterally knockoff play store game level model

[full nexus]

as much hate as i give gen 5 ghetsis has one of the best evil vilan teams

[violet path]

compared to the original

[formal iris]

Ghetsis was also close to actually achieving his goal of taking over unova

[formal iris]

Goofy eyes

[full nexus]

i think team magma has my fav teams in all of pokemon

[craggy cave]

These english pokemon names are confusing me

[violet path]

its a sprite duh

this your team leader?

the best part about magma is that they are terrifying in emerald kaizo

[full nexus]

his team is sick he has a lideral volcano cow

he has a guard dog

[craggy cave]

Team magma when they learn fishing industries exist

[sinful flare]

team magma is ok

[full nexus]

also his emerald kizo team is famous so

[violet path]

i like how the gen 3 evil team leaders are so useless they grab the blue orb for the red pokemon and vice versa

[formal iris]

Considering few evil teams steal pokemon, explain why Cyrus has a Crobat.

[full nexus]

the opisit orbs controll the pokemon

something like that

in the manga its cooler tbh

in the manga they both grab the opisit orb and they controll echothere legendarys

bro dosent archie controll both of them at one point

[craggy cave]

Mangas are drawn after games so

[violet path]

no they dont the whole point is that they grabbed the wrong orbs

and it made the pokemon go crazy

[formal iris]

A thing that would make Cyrus less comical is if they gave him a golbat with an eviolite and frustration instead of Crobat.

[craggy cave]

Pretty much it

[violet path]

dude why do you care so much about the crobat

it makes his team much stronger and crobat is a really cool pokemon

[formal iris]

because it completely contradicts his entire point

[craggy cave]

Its just literally developers forgor💀moment

[full nexus]

in the manga i think team galixcy stole pokemon

[formal iris]

Not many evil teams steal

[full nexus]

i havent read much of the manga besides up to gen 3

[violet path]

according to what

[formal iris]

In games it’s hardly ever seen that they steal Pokémon

HOW WOULD A TRAINER WITH A CROBAT GET ROBBED OF IT ANYWAY

[violet path]

explain this

[craggy cave]

How about Lysandre who tries to murder every pokemon but still uses mega evolutions

[full nexus]

highway robery

[formal iris]

Shit you right

[formal iris]

Lysandre is worse though. I did forget about him when I said Cyrus is the worst then I realised oh yeah team flare is a thing

Lysandre is discount Cyrus

[full nexus]

ok but team flare would easly win a pokemon evil teams war lets be honesyt

[formal iris]

I’m not gonna say Cyrus completely sucks, but his execution could’ve been improved a lot

[full nexus]

liderly the only other team that could win is team plazma

[craggy cave]

Are they canonically stronger or something

[violet path]

ok but the crobat still is very possible with the in game mechanics that we ourselves use

[full nexus]

no they got a dam nucler gun they would distroy liderly everything

[violet path]

if pokemon challenges can do friendship evos so can cyrus

[full nexus]

rayquaza and giratina would stop cyrus and team magma and aqua from making much damge

lusimene would go do her weird jellyfish thing

[violet path]

cyrus has access to master balls

[full nexus]

rocket sucks they dont have powerful wepons

[violet path]

he can use them against the legends

[pallid jolt]

pokemon trafficking

[full nexus]

nah giratina would ruin his plans

[violet path]

how

it tries to but he is about to defeat it when the player stops him

[full nexus]

kidnaps him and breaks the red chain

[formal iris]

Satan kidnapped a dude and sent him straight to hell (do not pass go do not collect $200) and he still thinks he’s succeeding

[full nexus]

liderly only 2 teams who could win the fight is team flare or plazma

and team plazma would have to work fast to win

[craggy cave]

That's what Id call a hell. A place full of puzzles

[full nexus]

they would have to rush there ice bomber ship to attack the ultimate wepon before it fires

[violet path]

the distortion world puzzles took me like 15 minutes it sucked

[craggy cave]

Luckily my cousin did all the puzzle for me

[formal iris]

Team Galactic having bowlcuts was a bold decision from the character design team though

[craggy cave]

When I was little

[full nexus]

ok but if all the evil teams fight who you think would win

my bets are on team flare

[violet path]

i think every other named character makes fun of them

[formal iris]

Team Flare would make themselves lose because they would kill themselves in the process

[craggy cave]

Task failed successfully

[full nexus]

no i think ultimate wepon keeps yous afe if your inside

name one team that has a chance to stop ulitmate wepon besides plazma liderly team plazma is the only team that could win

[formal iris]

Hang on, lemme get this straight, lysandre has an ideal perfect world. Does this include the ideal “perfect” person?

I can’t remember because x/y is so boring

[full nexus]

bro isnt lysander a terrorist in x y z anime that attacks everyone with plants

[formal iris]

Vegan lore?

Doesn’t lysandre go on about how nature is beautiful or something the immediately goes on to set off a fucking super weapon to destroy everything, including this beautiful nature?

[full nexus]

yep

gen 2 manga is nutty

[craggy cave]

Lysandres weird
He hates people and thinks pokemons are perfect and tries to get rid of all pokemons to make a better world

[wary imp]

Doesn't Lysander in the anime mind control zygarde or smthn

[formal iris]

If I had a copy of Pokemon XD gale of darkness for every evil team leader that hates a lot of shit so tries to destroy the world to get a perfect world I would have one too many copies of XD gale of darkness

[wary imp]

I think that was the evil one

[violet path]

incredible

[formal iris]

Idk that’s why I want a copy of it. Issue is I don’t want a copy of debt.

[wary imp]

Arrr

[craggy cave]

[full nexus]

there is some going for 70 bucks on ebay

[formal iris]

People that go into the official hollow knight discord server to talk about their pirated copy of hollow knight on mobile, what do we think of them?

[burnt topaz]

theyre brave

[full nexus]

is it on the apple store

[wary imp]

People do that?

[craggy cave]

Theyre torturing themselves by playing hollow knight on mobile

[wary imp]

Respect

[burnt topaz]

i mean ive seen people talk about pirating hk before

[formal iris]

I’ve seen like 3 people do it

[craggy cave]

Same level of pain as terraria mobile

[wary imp]

Thats fuckin ballsy and I love it

[burnt topaz]

i think some regs did then bought it after

[formal iris]

I don’t even know if they realise it is piracy

[full nexus]

i need to play the hollowknight mobile port

[wary imp]

Arrr

[full nexus]

ty for infomringme its a thing

[formal iris]

There isn’t a legal one-

[full nexus]

i own the game

[craggy cave]

Dont it only brings pain

I have tasted it

[wary imp]

Mobile is awful don't

[formal iris]

That doesn’t make it legal though, if you were to go through the trouble of porting it yourself it probably would be legal but who would do that for a mobile port of a game they already own

But like nobody’s gonna care it’s just weird though

[wary imp]

Mobile version of the witness

[full nexus]

i mean its technicly illigal but if you already own the game its moraly right

[formal iris]

The FBI don’t go tracking down every pirate on the browsers

[full nexus]

and i will sacrafice a slice of bread to team cherry

[violet path]

so in conclusion

[craggy cave]

Playing a game meant for 8+ buttons with only 2 inputs at once is a great way to destroy your mental health

[violet path]

cyrus is the best team leader

[formal iris]

What if I stab a stab victim, is that morally right.

[trim estuary]

Yes there is, use Steam Link

[wary imp]

Depends

Wait no way
Hk mobile is legal

[craggy cave]

The real question is: is stabbing a stab victim fun?

[wary imp]

Oh absolutely

[formal iris]

Well I don’t own a computer or have ever seen steam in my life so I wouldn’t know that

[trim estuary]

🗿

What about Xbox cloud

You can play Hollow Knight on mobile using that I think

[formal iris]

Who the fuck has heard of Xbox cloud

[wary imp]

Cloud gaming sucks ass

[trim estuary]

You, clearly

[full nexus]

its part of game pass

[violet path]

dont pirate games that are for sale still at a reasonable price

[trim estuary]

True…

[formal iris]

Well I haven’t

[trim estuary]

True…

[full nexus]

i am tempted tog et xbox games pass just to play halo 5 on pc

[formal iris]

Console wars suck. Pc supremacy also sucks. All forms of gaming are equal.

[full nexus]

halo 5 is one of the last halo games i need to play

[trim estuary]

Cap

[formal iris]

I don’t fucking care that you went into debt in order to play a game at 1 fps higher than before I can just buy a system and not worry about what the fuck a spec is

[full nexus]

steamdeck is best pc is best and playstation is good and switch is good xbox is trash because steamd eck and pc exsist

[formal iris]

PlayStation hardware feels kinda cheap ngl

[trim estuary]

If PlayStation is good why is Xbox bad they’re basically the same but one gatekeeps their video games

[wary imp]

Don't forget the massive issue with it breaking

[violet path]

switch runs games at 30 fps that any even shitty pc can run at 300

[formal iris]

The dual sense controller is a “wireless” controller that needs hooked up to life support at all times to work

[trim estuary]

It’s true, I can run TOTK at 60FPS

[strong veldt]

Might just be yours ngl. Had mine since launch and its battery is doing just fine

[full nexus]

playstation has good exsclusives unlike xbox that only has halo and forza and if you want that just get the 300 bucks teamdeck get a storage upgrade and its 10 times cheeper long term

[formal iris]

It doesn’t last long

[wary imp]

The switch is also a generation behind the other consoles

No

I have a lite

[craggy cave]

My laptop cannot run anything in 60

[formal iris]

Switch OLED has a good screen

It’s also 10x better than a v1

[full nexus]

bro your laptop cant even run roblox or minecraft

[formal iris]

If you have a v1 switch then it’s worth it

[wary imp]

Oled is worth the extra bit imo

[craggy cave]

It can its just 30sih frame for minecraft

[trim estuary]

Have you played 1.20 yet

[craggy cave]

Never

[full nexus]

my pc gets like 200 fps for minecraft

[formal iris]

I think it’s close to the original price for a switch if I’m not mistaken, i probably am though

[wary imp]

50 usd more than regular switch and 60ish usd for a design one

[trim estuary]

They massively optimized performance though

[full nexus]

its 400 for olded not worth

[trim estuary]

I went from 90 frames to 500

[formal iris]

I swear a Pc gamer would sell their soul for 1fps higher

[wary imp]

350 usd

[trim estuary]

This sounds like cope

[craggy cave]

Oh really
Id still have to wait till the modding community adapts as Im a modded player

[strong veldt]

If you're not playing a competitive game, fps past 60 does not matter

[burnt topaz]

i am playing singleplayer minecraft

[grand ferry]

is nice

[formal iris]

Fps doesn’t matter imo

It looks nicer but that’s about it as far as I care

[strong veldt]

Its not a massive change though and doesn't change the experience much at all.

[wary imp]

30 fps on single players is fine for me

[strong veldt]

The jump from 30 to 60 is higher than the jump from 60 to 120 anyway

[wary imp]

60 fps for online

[craggy cave]

Unless its like 5
Which is what happened when I tried to launch overwatch

[formal iris]

Unless you can count the frames****

[wary imp]

Try 1 fps for minecraft

[formal iris]

If you can’t count the frames that’s bad

[grand ferry]

I did not mean to say the extra fps was better (and I usually dont get past 60 anyway)

[craggy cave]

Peak powerpoint slideshow gaming

[violet path]

30 fps on a 3d game is horrible, 30 fps already looks pretty bad on 2d games compared to how clean 60 fps is

[formal iris]

But like, the brain can fill in the gaps for stuff like 30fps

[grand ferry]

I get 30 in terraria and it really suffers

[wary imp]

30 fps is fine

[craggy cave]

I dont get 30fps in hollow knight unless I lower the resolution

[sinful flare]

games without frame skip suffer if you dont play on 60 fps

[trim estuary]

I’ve found frame rate scales with screen size for me

[wary imp]

I play my switch in 30 fps and I manage

[full nexus]

you should get an upgrade

[formal iris]

High Fps only matters to people with problems

[sinful flare]

its in the steam options

[sinful flare]

i am people with problems

[craggy cave]

I really should since I want silksong

[sinful flare]

there is a major difference for me

[formal iris]

Imagine going in debt just for some fancy lighting

[full nexus]

get a steam deck its 100 present worth

[prisma meteor]

what's up gay marriage people

[formal iris]

If 30fps ruins experiences for you that’s when you have a real problem though

[full nexus]

apprently it can run elden ring well

[trim estuary]

Hello Rosie

[prisma meteor]

I wish I could get a steamdeck grr

[craggy cave]

Thats real good news

[full nexus]

i already got a pc i dont need a steam deck atm

[prisma meteor]

how are you

[burnt topaz]

imagine my life if i got the steam deck during the game awards

[trim estuary]

I’m hungry

[sinful flare]

HOW HUNGRY

[trim estuary]

What about you

[wary imp]

Eat

[burnt topaz]

want me to lend you a hand

[full nexus]

guys i am only getting 100 fps in minecraft this is terible

[trim estuary]

I COULD EAT A HORSE, KAAN

[sinful flare]

im so hungry i could eat a horse

[formal iris]

As a switch owner I just like enjoying games.

[wary imp]

Eat your computer

[prisma meteor]

i can't buy a steam deck in Australia and if I import it I won't get a warranty which is too scary

[formal iris]

Me like fun.

[prisma meteor]

I'm watching videos about the strikes, it's a good Rosie day

[full nexus]

steam deck is 300 bucks which is why i dont understand why people dont get it

[burnt topaz]

sorry let me just

[wary imp]

Switch is 300

[full nexus]

i mean for people who dont have one

[craggy cave]

Gimme 300 bucks

[sinful flare]

actually thats cheaper than a nintendo switch for us funnily enough

but steam deck isnt available in turkey

[burnt topaz]

i dont go anywhere enough for it to be a purchase i care about

also 300 is like a lot

[full nexus]

steam deck is just a half decent pc

[sinful flare]

well its cheaper than a gaming pc alright

but its still like buying a new pc

[formal iris]

I do kinda want a Pc eventually though, but only so I can play more intensive games that just don’t exist on console like papa’s freezeria

[burnt topaz]

pcs are just way more useful too

[wary imp]

Based

[sinful flare]

if you want a pc then get a pc
i wouldnt fully trust something like a steam deck

[prisma meteor]

I can't get one and also it's definitely not that cheap

[burnt topaz]

yeah

[wary imp]

You can just do so much stuff other than games

[sinful flare]

a pc can do a lot more things

[formal iris]

I honestly can’t think of a good reason to want a pc other than fun flash games

[craggy cave]

You lied
It starts from 399

[burnt topaz]

work?

[sinful flare]

that it can do

[full nexus]

dang what

[burnt topaz]

you can do that with a laptop but laptops dont feel as nice imo

[sinful flare]

laptops are ok but weak

[past sable]

Emulation

[prisma meteor]

the only price I can find is 530usd

[past sable]

It isn't

[quiet knot]

Whats this pc talk going on

[formal iris]

It depends on how you emulate.

[craggy cave]

Its out in my country so that could be it

[formal iris]

If you download the rom from the internet that’s a lil’ goofy

[past sable]

If you dump the games from your console, it's completely legal

[sinful flare]

im sure you can install windows on a steam deck

[wary imp]

Steam deck goes from 400usd to 650usd

[quiet knot]

Emulate using hallucinations

[wary imp]

You can actually browse on a switch

[prisma meteor]

I'm just talking about the price on Amazon

[sinful flare]

wait 400 dollars
thats minimum 10k TL

[burnt topaz]

oh mein gott

[past sable]

If you ask for roms in an emulation discord, you're going to get a warn

[wary imp]

Holy fuck

[sinful flare]

you can also use the internet on older but still modern consoles so thats nice

[burnt topaz]

this is so based

[sinful flare]

its a disaster

[prisma meteor]

I don't know which model this is but it's the only one I can find

[formal iris]

I can just access an emulation website on my school computers, and assuming downloads aren’t blocked I can just very illegally download Pokémon Black 2

[burnt topaz]

512GB model is like £570

so thats around however many dollars

[grand ferry]

exclusive keyboard theme lmao

[craggy cave]

Oh the 512gb one is out of stock

[prisma meteor]

that's Aussie dollars to be clear, it's only about 530 us dollars

[past sable]

You can manually upgrade storage

[wary imp]

Oh
Thats still bad

[grand ferry]

just disable your school computers firewalls :))

[prisma meteor]

Jesus thats over a thousand Australian dollars

[craggy cave]

Also it costs like 620$💀

[sinful flare]

oh

well thats disappointing

[burnt topaz]

cheapest model is £350

[sinful flare]

i mean its better

[formal iris]

Is it reasonable for an emulated game to run perfectly even if you don’t have a graphics card?

[sinful flare]

for very old consoles like SNES? yes?

[wary imp]

Depends

[prisma meteor]

sobbing

[sinful flare]

for N64 and up? no

[wary imp]

Holy hell

[burnt topaz]

yeah

[burnt topaz]

yeesh

[sinful flare]

wait i just realized
sweet god

[prisma meteor]

a pound is nearly double lmao

[past sable]

Actually, to some extent, yes, afaik steam deck can run totk similar to the switch

[formal iris]

huh. So is it weird that someone in my school was able to play fucking teardown with a reasonable quality on a school computer that doesn’t have a graphics card?

[wary imp]

At least the graph is going up right
Thats good right

[burnt topaz]

im never going to australia wat tha hell

[craggy cave]

Theres no way I could spend 789,000₩on a gaming console as a student

[prisma meteor]

no lmao

[sinful flare]

"thats good... right"

[past sable]

Emulation wants a lot of cpu power, gpu mostly for high resolution

[sinful flare]

(it's 29.41 per euro now)

[wary imp]

I don't know how the money graphs work
Its green and green is usually good

[formal iris]

The school computers have like 1GB of storage for documents

[past sable]

My gpu is barely used when playing totk in Yuzu, but cpu goes nuts

[prisma meteor]

if it goes up it means either the Aussie dollar is going down or the British pound is going up

[wary imp]

Oh

[sinful flare]

well yeah relatively the euro gains value
this could also mean your own currency and the money in your hand is LOSING VALUE

[past sable]

RAM ~= HDD/SSD

[sinful flare]

which is also the case for me

[wary imp]

Inflation yay

[sinful flare]

tell us turks all about it

[prisma meteor]

they were using pounds not euros

[sinful flare]

oh hol don

[prisma meteor]

pounds are more than euros

[sinful flare]

THATS EVEN WORSE

[burnt topaz]

yea

[sinful flare]

19.5K

[wary imp]

Kaan, escape turkey

Flee

[sinful flare]

Cant

[craggy cave]

[formal iris]

Anyway my 3ds can hardly run Pokemon USUM so I think I need a better 3ds

[burnt topaz]

how old is the 3ds

[wary imp]

I cant read that

[past sable]

Also, Zelda botw runs better in PC than in the switch, same with totk

[craggy cave]

You see, its red

[formal iris]

It’s an old ass 3ds I think

I’m not sure because I didn’t buy it originally

[burnt topaz]

my old ass 3ds works fine, did you drop it at any point

[wary imp]

So thats good or bad

I hate graphs

[prisma meteor]

buy my new 3ds xl I don't want it anymore....

[burnt topaz]

ah if it was second hand they mustve dropped it at some point 😔 (idk)

[sinful flare]

i thin this means inflation right

[grand ferry]

it must be stuttering from the fact that you stop playing game every 5 minutes and get dragged into some unwanted cutscene

[sinful flare]

like your currency converted to the shown currency

[coarse leaf]

silksong

[sinful flare]

i think korean currency is very worthless

[craggy cave]

Ye

[formal iris]

It was lagging during the totem raticate fight

[prisma meteor]

give me 6 million dollars ....

[sinful flare]

yeah ight

[wary imp]

My 2ds runs pretty well

[lusty horizon]

[sinful flare]

is the korean currency at least stable

[coarse leaf]

silksong

[trim estuary]

Aluo?

[sinful flare]

:sexyman:

[formal iris]

Also it might be because for some reason the data was corrupted at some point so that’s why I’m playing it again from the start but idk

[burnt topaz]

wth did they do to usum that makes it lag the ds

[grand ferry]

stairs

[craggy cave]

Yeah 1200₩=1$

[sinful flare]

is it stable

[wary imp]

One of my terraria worlds on my 2ds got corrupted

[craggy cave]

Kinda

[formal iris]

I think my ultra moon might’ve been corrupted from a suspicious level 100 shiny mewtwo I got wonder traded but I was sure I released that into the wild

[quiet knot]

The corrupted mewtwo

[full nexus]

hacked pokemon cant curopt your game

[grand ferry]

on your what

[wary imp]

Terraria had a 2ds port

[sinful flare]

ours went from 20₺=€1 in 2 ish months to 29.5₺=€1
to make matters worse it went from 25₺=€1 to 29.5₺=€1 in one month

[grand ferry]

I had no idea

[formal iris]

Also I have a 32 or 64 idk gigabyte sd card for my 3ds that I bought just so I could buy ace attorney on the eshop so

[violet path]

YALL STILL ON CONSOLES

[formal iris]

Didn’t mean to reply-

[violet path]

OK IM SORRY SWITCH ISNT BETTER THAN 3DS FINE

[formal iris]

Psvr 2 looks stupid as hell ngl

[violet path]

whats even different abt it

[formal iris]

Psvr 2? It has eye tracking and can play more advanced vr games with more advanced controls and shit

Idk though about the games because I don’t own one

[violet path]

cool and all but id rather have quest

[formal iris]

I have a Psvr 1 though that I bought from a suspicious person with a baseball bat with nails in it so idk

Who knows if my Psvr is legal for me to own but idc because I can play no man’s sky in vr

[wary imp]

Did you get a discount?

[formal iris]

Eh it’s was like 130 I think

It had everything I needed to play games except the camera adapter

[wary imp]

I want a headset to play nms and subnautica

[obtuse spire]

whoever was in charge of the psvr2’s marketing needs a raise, that trailer was phenomenal

[prisma meteor]

are any of you guys excited about the sag strike

[formal iris]

Subnautica is only vr on pc I think

[quiet knot]

Have not heard of that

[formal iris]

All I want is among us for psvr 2 then I’ll actually buy it

Lemme stab some fuckers in vr

[craggy cave]

Isnt there already amogus vr

[wary imp]

Whats it about again, I'm behind in the news

[surreal remnant]

not a fan of psvr

[tall juniper]

Cat, that is all

[formal iris]

It’s not on psvr 2 yet

[surreal remnant]

pcvr on top

[prisma meteor]

screen actors guild

[craggy cave]

I see

[prisma meteor]

screen actors guild

[prisma meteor]

screen actors guild

[wary imp]

Whats the strike for

[formal iris]

It’s supposed to be on psvr 2 by now but nobody knows anything

[quiet knot]

Yeah im wondering that too

[obtuse spire]

money, or the lack of it rather

[prisma meteor]

because Holywood sucks lmao

[quiet knot]

True

[prisma meteor]

they aren't getting paid enough

[surreal remnant]

the actors, writers, goddamned waffle house workers, are underpaid and overworked

[wary imp]

Good for them going on strike

[formal iris]

Yo it’s almost 3am I should sleep

[quiet knot]

Yeah that seems like Hollywood

[prisma meteor]

just an actor

[wary imp]

I hope they succeed

[craggy cave]

Im not french I dont know a lot about trade unions

[surreal remnant]

any of yall heard of the waffle house index? cause it ain't lookin good

[formal iris]

Imma sleep. Have a good day all you smart people

[wary imp]

The waffle house index is cool

[quiet knot]

If the waffle house is closed its a catastrophe

[surreal remnant]

exactly

if the waffle house workers are striking, it's a dire situation

[quiet knot]

Everyone is striking now

[burnt topaz]

this is a metric people use

[craggy cave]

Everyone is French?

[quiet knot]

American people use it

[burnt topaz]

crazy

[prisma meteor]

its in conjunction with the writers strike which has been happening for like months so the studio's cant really lie and bullshit their way through it anymore because no investor or whatever is gonna believe they can still make their movies and tv with no writers and no actors

[sinful flare]

real

[burnt topaz]

feels like everybody is striking

[quiet knot]

No i would not want to be grench

[burnt topaz]

good for them

[prisma meteor]

I mean it's like 3 unions

[craggy cave]

Its none of your choice

[prisma meteor]

in America at least

[stray summit]

Uh what does "ss" here mean, Silksong?

[prisma meteor]

labour laws aren't too great in America

[craggy cave]

Sharp shadow

[quiet knot]

China has no strikes!

[full rune]

Sharp shadow

[surreal remnant]

Sharp Shadow

[stray summit]

Thanks

[burnt topaz]

lots of people striking in the uk too

[prisma meteor]

yeah but the UK has even worse labour laws ....

[burnt topaz]

mhm

[craggy cave]

Ah, their tradition

[prisma meteor]

the only strikes I'm aware of in America are the wga and sag-aftra and the hotel one I can't remember the name of

all of them that are in the union

so basically all American ones

[flat remnant]

Oh what's going on there

[quiet knot]

Are big names involved?

[prisma meteor]

if they do not strike they will be kicked out of the union

[prisma meteor]

think of literally any American actor

[burnt topaz]

a lot over a long while

[quiet knot]

Oh okay then

So even Tom Cruise

Idk, first world problems

[prisma meteor]

omg shut the fuck up

[burnt topaz]

there are a lot of actors that arent just big names

[flat remnant]

It sucks that the cgi industry hasn't been unionized

[quiet knot]

Vfx and cgi

[wary imp]

Oh cat have you started ori?

[burnt topaz]

thinking about rhythm and hues

[flat remnant]

Yes it does

[quiet knot]

Even spiderverse has been rumored to treat their artists kinda poorly

[prisma meteor]

there are 10s of thousands of actors and like only a few that are actually like mega rich

are they in sag aftra? I would imagine not

[quiet knot]

Yeah i know!

[burnt topaz]

i dont think so

[hollow terrace]

Man people’s lack of info on unions is unfortunate

Actually

[flat remnant]

Iirc don't unions have support for each other?

[prisma meteor]

yes lmao

[hollow terrace]

American’s unions can support IF their negotiations fail

[quiet knot]

What about the European Union

[prisma meteor]

like the teamsters won't cross picket lines even tho they aren't actually on strike

unions definitely have at least some solidarity

[flat remnant]

I saw a tiktok of ron perlman reacting to the news that execs are waiting for the writers to lose their homes and he said that it won't happen because they support each other

[prisma meteor]

yeah and he implied he would burn their house down

[hollow terrace]

Yeah because they’re both striking

[quiet knot]

Wait, execs are trying to starve their own writers?

[prisma meteor]

it was fucking sick

[hollow terrace]

Yep

[quiet knot]

Thats just plain evil

the writers are on strike too, the execs were saying they were just gonna wait until strike funds ran out and everyone needed money again

that's obviously not going to happen but it was a threat

[flat remnant]

"There's no business like show business" mfs when i use that excuse to burn down their houses

[quiet knot]

Thats very arrogant of them

[serene chasm]

eat the execs

[young saffron]

sorry im clueless so why are writers striking?

[prisma meteor]

not paid enough

[quiet knot]

Extremely based

[prisma meteor]

the vast majority of writers in Holywood are living paycheck to paycheck

[flat remnant]

Poor pay and they're planning on replacing writers with AI

[craggy cave]

Rimworld style

[prisma meteor]

they were asking about writers

[flat remnant]

FUCK i meant writers

Replacing writers with AI

[prisma meteor]

they are also planning on doing the actors as well but it's not going to work

[flat remnant]

Flash nicholas cage

[wary imp]

We already know ai has inconsistencies and just, why

[quiet knot]

Theyd be atleast better than Marvel writers

[violet path]

nooo dwayne

[quiet knot]

Yes lets only care about the mega rich actors

[flat remnant]

Wrong, they would collect scripts from other marvel projects and compile them to make a marvel script full of those bad marvel jokes

[wary imp]

Fuck

[prisma meteor]

that was why sag-aftra went on strike basically, because the people were trying to say they should be allowed to scan in the faces of any background actors and use their image later without consent and the unions said fuck you and went on strike

[hollow terrace]

Jesus fucking christ dawg

[quiet knot]

Oh god!

I see your point

[violet path]

im upset

[flat remnant]

Cheap and they don't have to hire anyone who needs money to live

[burnt topaz]

fucking hell, youd think thatd be illegal right?

[violet path]

dwayne going unpain >:'(

[craggy cave]

They should make the next batman movie based on the AI script

[quiet knot]

"Im Man"

[wary imp]

This is messed up on so many levels
"So youre gonna get paid minimally and when we want you to play a bigger role, we're gonna steal your face and voice without your consent, because fuck you"

[prisma meteor]

it really doesn't matter how shitty the product is the writers still deserve a living wage and any ai replacements will just make the problem worse

[craggy cave]

https://youtu.be/fn4ArRmzHhQ

[prisma meteor]

they probably wouldn't have gone that far, they might have just wanted to do it so they don't have to pay for extras as often

but it's still a very bad idea

[wary imp]

Ai should be used as a tool to help achieve things, not the answer or a solution because someone is too lazy

[shell yacht]

theres an ep of the newset black mirror thats literally this issue
shits supposed to be futuristic dystopian horror
not reality

[prisma meteor]

a couple studios already do it with like actual speaking role actors and stuff

[quiet knot]

Turns out all those dystopian setting shows were just documentaries

[prisma meteor]

like I think any live action Disney production involves scanning the face of all the speaking role actors

[wary imp]

Top gun maverick i think

[prisma meteor]

yeah probably

I wouldn't know

[quiet knot]

Nah Top Gun didnt do that, they had the actors in the jets.

[violet path]

ai should be used to do things people literally cant, and as a tool for the general public to use for in debth education or entertainment when an actual educator or entertainer isnt readily available (which obviously youre not always going to have an all knowing scientist at your house), ai should NOT be used to replace actual business practices

[prisma meteor]

that's not what they meant

[quiet knot]

Oh...

[wary imp]

I cant remember their name but the old guy

[quiet knot]

Oh the guy with luhg cancer

[wary imp]

Yeah

[quiet knot]

They had him on set i believe

[full nexus]

alphrad gives birth to robbin lmao

[wary imp]

Because he couldn't speak during production

[craggy cave]

As its his job

[violet path]

ALPHARAD?

[quiet knot]

Toyota Alphard

[wary imp]

So they used ai to mimic his voice

[violet path]

thats ok i think

[quiet knot]

Hold on lemme look this up

[wary imp]

Val kilmer

[atomic sparrow]

#silksong2024

[wary imp]

#cope

[quiet knot]

Oh yeah it was Ai

[rough mirage]

Omg it's omgman

[prisma meteor]

like even if you are a piece of shit who thinks these unions are all Holywood elites or whatever it's still important to recognise that these strikes boost union power nationwide, makes it clear to the billionaires that the workers are the ones who make the money and therefore makes them more scared of the workers power

[quiet knot]

I think in Val Kilmers case the use of AI is fine, as long as it is what Val wanted.

It can be good sometimes

[prisma meteor]

it's so annoying to me when people try and pretend wga and sag aftra are just elites as if the elites arent literally who the unions are fighting

[quiet knot]

The new mission impossible is all about evil AI now

[wary imp]

Ai is good for one reason
I get to see Master chief tell me how to replace the oil on my 2006 Nissan murano

[quiet knot]

Its very good

[wary imp]

I gtg

[quiet knot]

Wdym surprising, Mission Impossible is a banger franchise

[lusty horizon]

AI is only really good for shitposts

Shitposts specifically

[quiet knot]

Oh yeah i get you, Indiana Jones was a snooze fest

[prisma meteor]

there's lots of good movies little guy just gotta look for em

[quiet knot]

But yeah... there are a lot of good ones still

Livin under a rock

[hollow terrace]

We’re literally seeing folks in current age trying to exploit AI for maclious means, people aren’t gonna sit down or not raised their pitch forks because “one good thing”

People are gonna push back the shit AI/ML is harming

[prisma meteor]

there's maybe minor uses for ai like writing code and shit but I think right now we are not in a state where it can be used responsibly

a more democratised workforce and shit maybe it could have it's place and help people but currently I don't think so

[flat remnant]

They used AI for assistance in spiderverse with the stylized lines but that one was guided by humans

[quiet knot]

Oh like the Lines when the spot gets powerful

[indigo nymph]

they also used ai to make secret invasion, which is y its so bad

[quiet knot]

AI Voices scare me the most

[steady pumice]

hi oh we talking about ai again?

[quiet knot]

Oh right, sorry
