i remember hearing that people draw a like on the greater/lesser than symbols to remember which is which

drawing a line on > makes it look like 7, which is greater than 4

this is true for cars too but with cars you have things like airbags and walls keeping you inside and relatively safe during a crash, whereas pretty much any crash on a motorcycle can end up being a really bad one if it goes poorly

[rocky flicker]

[fiery burrow]

The crocodile eats the bigger number

i also dont understand it and remember it as the opening is toward the big thing

normal literacy is literally just your ability to functionally read and write, and the number of adults that are functionally illiterate is concerning, especially in the US

[dapper dove]

this is literacy in the english language right

[tired oyster]

no? that's what the article i'm looking at is directly talking about. "functionally illiterate" is not the same as calling someone flat out illiterate, the surveys that have been conducted don't really qualify that

oh yeah don't do that

[dapper dove]

most of the comments that say that are online, and there's basically no guarantee that the kids saying this shit are even american

so it doesn't really apply to this study

[tired oyster]

yes, i see how the first part would be terrible, but again, you never specified what you were even referring to in my message

[opaque sigil]

it's more than that

[shell stream]

it was a joke

look it's not easy to summarize a one paragraph definition into a four word meme

Adults at level 1 are able to locate information on a text page, find a relevant link from a website, and identify relevant text among multiple options when the relevant information is explicitly cued. They can understand the meaning of short texts, as well as the organization of lists or multiple sections within a single page. The texts at level 1 may be continuous, noncontinuous, or mixed and pertain to printed or digital environments. They typically include a single page with up to a few hundred words and little or no distracting information. Noncontinuous texts may have a list structure (such as a web search engine results page) or include a small number of independent sections, possibly with pictorial illustrations or simple diagrams. Tasks at Level 1 involve simple questions providing some guidance as to what needs to be done and a single processing step. There is a direct, fairly obvious match between the question and target information in the text, although some tasks may require the examination of more than one piece of information.
this is level 1

point is, i quite literally said "or they're conducting the study at a more individual level and surveying people with their first language" in the initial message and that seemed to be entirely ignored and which one was being argued against was never specified so that's where my confusion was coming from

[shell stream]

actually after reading thsi channel for 30s I changed my mind

[jade canopy]

Youtube told me to vote against big casino, despite me not being in california and being french
nothing for the 2024 campaigns though to be fair

who the fuck is big casino I would 100% vote for big casino

[shell stream]

for the sake of clarity - are you suggesting that the study is flawed? and how would you fix it?

[rocky flicker]

I wish they were here I keep getting ads for this party who's basically a bunch of trump wannabe's backed by some fat fuck billionaire that every australian hates

[lone crown]

We in the US have fucking pharmaceutical ads. Ads for literal medicine advertised to PEOPLE, whom you need to get doctors permission to use. The hell would your average joe know about the medicine advertised to them??? Especially with the fucking visuals of happy people and whatnot like what the fuck 😭

[sour dagger]

Blud you just said you got political ads, which mean they are legal in the US

[rocky flicker]

the US is not real

[dapper dove]

murdoch?

[tired oyster]

not really, i just think the study is sort of outwardly unclear in its demographics other than the broad blanket of "US adults"

[rocky flicker]

he gets american political ads in france thats his point

[lone crown]

These ads literally do not exist outside the US

[jade canopy]

they are legal in the US, which isn't my country

[sour dagger]

Ik its insane, watched nba yesterday and the ads are crazy

[rocky flicker]

nah same level of asshole but somehow more of a bitch clive palmer

[shell yacht]

The worst part about pharmaceutical ads is like 5 to 10 years later you'll see an advertisement suing the drug/pharma in a class action lawsuit that were in the commercial because they didn't fucking test it properly and now there's life-changing side effects

[dapper dove]

culture war has to be america's worst cultural export

[opaque sigil]

fast food:

[dapper dove]

it's fucking everywhere

[rocky flicker]

fat fuck who does nothing but steal australian's money to export while all the while trying to get australians scared of chinese communists invading so he can get votes

[sour dagger]

My point is that its crazy that the US allows political ads, nothing more

[shell yacht]

Other countries do our fast food healthier, I don't think that one's a bad global idea

[rocky flicker]

everyone loves fast food

[stable estuary]

That’s the intelligence agencies bud

[shell stream]

I mean I'm not the happiest they didn't include native language as a demographic in their statistics, but they're pretty specific with what 'adult' means

[dapper dove]

people screeching about trans athletes in a country where gay marriage isn't even legal is hilarious

[rocky flicker]

its just the shit you put in yours specifically is illegal nearly everywhere else

[jade canopy]

on an infinitely lighter topic, if you have never watched anything climbing related, like last week the world boulder climbing competitions happened
go watch a bit of them, the shit the people do in those is absurd

[sour dagger]

[tired oyster]

is this referring to america or another country where trans athletes are a hot-button issue (among dumbasses) rn because gay marriage IS legal here at the very least

[tired oyster]

ok to be fair that is in fact ideal. we do not WANT these companies to be withholding potential side effects from us that'd be a fucking nightmare and a half. there are way more real problems with the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to be criticizing

[chilly crane]

dont worry i'm sure everyone will forget about it

[silver oak]

Oh yeah

[shell stream]

you had the perfect chance to spread misinformation and you ruined it smh

[shell stream]

this is true but for-profit medical ads are kind of dystopian

[heady iron]

Team cherry should put a transit sign that labels a trail called the Silk Road

[sour dagger]

Ik, but kinda funny when watching an ad and suddenly they tell you that potential side effects is "Brutal death"

[chilly crane]

Privatized healthcare is dystopian 😔

[heady iron]

Silksong mod that gives you a healthcare bill every time you die

[tired oyster]

she's the daughter of a king but that king is dead and his kingdom is dead so not really

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[chilly crane]

Hornet has to check whether or not insurance will cover her next bind

[dapper dove]

silksong confirmed to be a horror game

[heady iron]

And if you don't pay it in time they send debt sharks after you

I mean she can pay for the back-from-the-dead procedure

that’s video game nonsense

anyone buying Oblivion?

all died bc they were bloodletting instead of doing the drugs from pharmaceutical ads

[tired oyster]

depends how much it costs

But I have to feed my leeches

[tired oyster]

if it's full triple A price fuck no i'm not buying it until it's on a major sale

[chilly crane]

The woke right… but what did it wrote

[stable estuary]

One thing I noticed about American game devs

As opposed to eastern game devs

[shell yacht]

135gb

https://tenor.com/view/rathalos-green-rathalos-monster-hunter-need-more-coffee-monster-hunter-wilds-gif-939333370099150970

[stable estuary]

They’ll have these long drawn out presentations talking about the nostalgia and the players and the eastern devs will be like “we understand you have been looking forward to this, please enjoy what we have prepared for you.”

It’s just a masterclass in narcissism.

[lone crown]

We need green in silksong

[chilly crane]

How much green would a green green green if a green green could green green

[shell yacht]

I can just boot up my Xbox 360 and play Oblivion whenever I want why would I want the horribly unoptimized 2025 version that also costs me money and gives Bethesda money

[tired oyster]

bethesda and ubisoft are like prime examples of this throughout the years

[compact locust]

ok bye

[chilly crane]

Mario

Ubesoft

Bethesda fans playing games built on a buggy 20 year old engine be like "it's moddable tho"

[chilly crane]

Ayyytt Macarena

[shell stream]

stockholm syndrome

unmodded skyrim is hell

[stable estuary]

Anything related to Microsoft publishing. They love making showcases where the devs are basically just having slobbish eachother’s knob for 30 minutes a presentation.

[tired oyster]

i really wish bethesda made good games

[cunning geode]

my experience getting fallout nv to run on steam...

[marsh ibex]

And yet your xbox 360 and copy of oblivion also costed money

Curious

[cunning geode]

thankfully the modding guides are really thorough so i didnt struggle getting new vegas to start

but i had to download like a dozen mods or so

[shell yacht]

Yeah but it won't be $90

[stable estuary]

Not Bethesda but don’t forget Bethesda publishes doom lol

[tired oyster]

well yeah, bethesda publishing is fine

[shell stream]

won't lie after they fucked over mick gordon I'm not buying another doom game

[cunning geode]

yeah and their influence only shows in the physics engine for the nu-doom games 👹

[tired oyster]

the dev end and the publishing end of companies are very different though

[heady iron]

Bethesda should buy team cherry

[chilly crane]

Gurss whose not consuming comestibles today

[shell stream]

team cherry should buy bethesda*

[neon adder]

What could go wrong

[cunning geode]

now microsoft has doom

[stable estuary]

That’s essentially what they did with Hugo Martin and why Doom looks like it does

[shell stream]

are you willing to potate potables instead

[chilly crane]

Team rocket should buy team cheyr ry

[stable estuary]

Hugo Martin was a concept artist for Pacific Rim

[cunning geode]

yep he did the jagers

pretty cool

[tired oyster]

ahhh i had no idea about that that's pretty funny

[chilly crane]

Get in the jager shinji

[tired oyster]

i think he's a good visual designer for modern doom though, it works

[cunning geode]

mostly 👹

[chilly crane]

Steve Martin was a concept artist for pacific rim

[tired oyster]

i can't really think of any particularly bad examples of designs in the modern doom games

[stable estuary]

Doom has a very distinct mecha/kaiju feel to it and that’s why. That’s basically his entire background. People don’t realize what taking a fantastic artist can do for a big project.

[cunning geode]

im just being mean

they figured out good aesthetics and designs

[stable estuary]

Now I’m just thinking of what Ari Gibson would do in a Hollow Knight inspired Doom metroidvania lmfao

[chilly crane]

Mr krabs kill him

[stable estuary]

My pockets would bleed waterfalls of money for something like that

[chilly crane]

Doom inspired hollow knight 1st person

[shell stream]

on this note, the new doom is gonna have a different composer and its kinda up in the air if they'll hit the mark

[cunning geode]

wait until you find out there are already doom levels that play out like little metroidvanias

[tired oyster]

we need more Trials-like metroidvanias like fucking Laika: aged through blood. that game rocked and didn't get as much attention as it should've

[heady iron]

[tired oyster]

pharloom has slopes and this is because of the final boss

[shell stream]

screw you slopes your mv

[stable estuary]

Mick Gordon’s background is in Djent and synth as well as stuff like Pantera. Dark Ages will be a lot more by the book Doom soundtrack but of course following in the foot steps of Mick, who laid the foundation for what the new series sounds like.

[heady iron]

Team cherry after learning that y=mx+b:

[chilly crane]

Hollow knight slope song

[fiery burrow]

Its the same as the DLC guys right?

[cunning geode]

dark ages ost is like party music

[dusty nimbus]

Hollow Knight slope unity engine breakdown

[chilly crane]

Doom soundtracked by the guys who brought you Mario kart 8

[cunning geode]

i dont think its hulshult and levy

[tired oyster]

it's very unfortunate that mick got fucked over but he's not the ONLY composer out there that can make good modern doom music, the music for eternal's DLC was pretty good

[shell stream]

different than DLC iirc

[dusty nimbus]

I honestly want most of all Christopher Larkin's songs from silksong I crave them like drugs

[stable estuary]

That’s why the new doom theme didn’t sound exactly like the old one. Djent is very crusty and dirty sub genre of metal.

[strange gulch]

will you be able to play as a shrumal warrior in Silksong?

[shell stream]

DLC was one of the guys from new blood interactive, dark ages is finishing move

[chilly crane]

I just crave drugs

[shell stream]

who did... nothing particularly notable

[cunning geode]

Hulshult's other soundtracks are way better than his work in eternal

DUSK's ost is extremely good industrial metal

[solid swift]

Wouls u guys consider Silksong to be the second most wanted game of 2025? First ofc GTA VI

[chilly crane]

Silksong is like the most anticipated game of this year rn I keep seeing it everywhere

[shell stream]

its the most wishlisted on steam, at the very least

[tired oyster]

keep in mind: neither did mick gordon really before the new wolfenstein and doom franchises

[shell stream]

or rather most followed. idr if you can even see wishlist counts

looks like both

[cunning geode]

https://store.steampowered.com/search/?ignore_preferences=1&os=win&filter=popularwishlist

ip grabber haaaha

this is the top wishlists on steam

[shell stream]

no the thing is they have a track record of pretty uninspiring work

[chilly crane]

Get the new link in park to do it

[cunning geode]

ive only heard a little of the dark ages unfinished songs

but

yeah

[rocky flicker]

AAAAAH i love mick gordon

it brings me physical pain that the only thing they fear is you will never be on spotify

[heady iron]

Damn I forgot the old modding channels got nuked

[shell stream]

and after bethesda royally fucked over mick gordon, I imagine they had a hard time finding any artists worth a damn

[cunning geode]

also completely biased opinion but this soundtrack is way better than doom eternals

[tired oyster]

i mean. this is what mick gordon's track record looked like pre-2013

[heady iron]

Now I can't look up footage of my super old, obscure mods

[rocky flicker]

what u got against hot dog king

[cunning geode]

yeah mick did killer instinct

[tired oyster]

there's some good stuff in there i'm sure but nothing like. eye-poppingly good like his more recent work has been

[chilly crane]

Are you calling el Tigre not eye popping

[shell stream]

idk the most impressive thing finishing move did was BL3

and that soundtrack's like a 7/10 and was mostly not them

[kindred pewter]

show me tigers in El Tigre

[chilly crane]

Bro there doesn’t need to be el Tigre is the kid and that’s cool as fuck

[tired oyster]

well if it was mostly not them then that makes it even more silly to be judging musical work we haven't even really heard from them yet

[cunning geode]

well hopefully most of you all will enjoy it

[heady iron]

Problem Solvers on Cartoon Network beats out any cartoon from Midney

[shell stream]

yeah I'm being overly pessimistic for sure

[chilly crane]

They should make the new soundtrack pop punk

[tired oyster]

i think it's fair to assume it won't be AS good as mick gordon's work, and even if it is it definitely won't be the same, but having worked a decent amount in musical composition it's hard fuckin work and i don't think it's fair to be so preemptively negative about what this group could do

i am weird and elitist

you are biased and nitpicking

i will probably still play doom dark ages because it looks like it's gonna be a well-made game. unless a studio is doing like especially terrible shit like ubisoft i do not pick and choose which games i buy based on if they've done something corporately shitty because by that reasoning most studios would be out the window

[cunning geode]

ok my serious response to this is yeah ive heard from lots of people that nu-doom feels better to play (you can jump and look up/down) and i totally unironically understand that. games have progressed since classic doom, and nu-doom games are pretty damn good!

[chilly crane]

For his neutral special he wields a gun

[shell stream]

well ya got me there I can't say I'm really looking forward to anything triple A

[mellow matrix]

how do you know lol

[chilly crane]

Are we for real

[uneven carbon]

yeah who does this guy think he is

[tired oyster]

because he looked? and assumedly got confirmation from steam?

[kindred pewter]

good question

[tired oyster]

leth does in fact have eyes

[chilly crane]

Like for real real

[uneven carbon]

This “Leth” guy walking around like he owns the place

[normal token]

Why does the market guy act like he knows so muc

[shell stream]

his name's not even orange smh

[uneven carbon]

it’s red because he probably got muted from spreading misinfo

[shell stream]

true red means bad

[kindred pewter]

yeah it's this reddish name, kinda like he's from this "team cherry"

[chilly crane]

It’s red because we need to dispose of him

[uneven carbon]

red = stop

[cunning geode]

however as a community i would say classic is absolutely remarkable. there are so many talented creators making maps and mods and its all extremely accessible, with level design that sometimes goes above and beyond the linearity of nu-doom levels

also the music is better gg

[median fractal]

The dualities of mankind...

[chilly crane]

Red = danger leth is a dangerous entity

[uneven carbon]

keter class

[shell stream]

look man I can't think of any doom classic games that had machine girl soundtracks

[cunning geode]

thank you Administrator and Joshua

[tired oyster]

i disengage from triple A stuff as much as i can but there's a lot of AAA studios putting out stuff i enjoy and look forward to because a lot of them DO know how to hire good dev teams (even if they don't then give those dev teams the resources they need to make good games that are well-polished on release) and those dev teams and the individual creatives running them do make good stuff still and they do get supported by their games being bought as much as it also supports the corporate end of the studios they work for

[pulsar remnant]

Yeah Leth hopefully won’t brech containment

[cunning geode]

oh im sorry... you think im only talking about the 90s ones

👹

[shell stream]

mostly there's enough games out there, why would I sustain the unethical and unsustainable side of the industry

[uneven carbon]

I still buy AAA but only the ones that I know i’ll enjoy like MH

that’s like quality ensured

[shell stream]

there's enough art out there I can afford to be picky about who I support

[cunning geode]

optimization ensured

[chilly crane]

Is doom guys name John doom

[uneven carbon]

recently tho i’ve mainly playing indie

the games are just more interesting and unique, and they only cost like 15 bucks

[cunning geode]

its Duum Guye

[uneven carbon]

if I don’t like a AAA game and I cant refund it i’m down 60+ dollars

[chilly crane]

From the doomsdale doomadome

[fresh zodiac]

wish it was

[tired oyster]

this is why i usually stick to buying triple A games that are part of a franchise i know i still enjoy in its current state and don't just go all in on random new triple A IPs

[uneven carbon]

for me rn it’s literally just monster hunter & soulsborne games

[inland ravine]

wait, you have a girlfriend ?

[chilly crane]

Had

[tired oyster]

final fantasy and monster hunter are the big ones for me rn

[full rune]

No

[uneven carbon]

even then I still read reviews before buying just in case the worst happens

[fiery burrow]

Monster Hunter reviewers suck

[shell stream]

only thing I was really wowed by recently was bg3

[cunning geode]

https://youtu.be/gg4KJch3HMU i love dumbass general midi instruments (and you wont) but you cant deny the composition on this goes hard (you will deny it and i'll cry)

[civic bolt]

I guess I got totk but it wasn't really groundbreaking

animal well on the other hand

[tired oyster]

monster hunter reviewers skip half the content of the games to get to their endgame as fast as possible then say they're too short

they also complained about how wilds has a really small starting roster when iirc it's exactly 1 less than world's starting roster was

not to mention that most of the monsters in wilds' starting roster are fucking spectacular

[fiery burrow]

Quality over quantity

[tired oyster]

even outside of the apexes

[lone crown]

Cant wait for the additional content

Mizu was great

[fiery burrow]

I can't say there's a monster I despise

[lone crown]

Same ngl

[tired oyster]

congalala but that one's not new to wilds

[lone crown]

The two things i think of are rathian tail swing that does poison, and congalala farting and shitting everywhere

[fiery burrow]

They should bring back cephadrome and give it a glowup

[shell stream]

then why are you hunting them???? leave the poor things alone

Hi silkers how we silking today

[lone crown]

[marsh ibex]

you might need this blud

[fiery burrow]

Congalala is mid

[open narwhal]

hi chat

[fiery burrow]

The most mediocre fight in Wilds

[slate wagon]

what if i don’t give it back

[lone crown]

I think blangonga is also pretty mediocre

[fiery burrow]

armor goes hard though

[tired oyster]

something about congalala just makes me angry i don't know what it is

[marsh ibex]

shot through the heart
and you’re to blame

[fiery burrow]

Its intentionally gross

[valid sable]

Blangonga is like the most bland monster in Wilds, Blandgonga, shoulda put a different monke in

[lone crown]

The way it slaps its belly before burping and farting? The way it usually has smaller peons? Its hideous pink fur?

[shell stream]

all I see is a $12.50 ps5 then

[fiery burrow]

Guardian Ape wannabe

[marsh ibex]

oh you give love a bad name

[tired oyster]

it's not even the grossness i just think it's a visually obnoxious monster somehow

[lone crown]

Yeah no i agree

[tired oyster]

because like. khezu is also intentionally gross but i think khezu rocks

[craggy scroll]

FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT-

[fiery burrow]

[lone crown]

blangonga dies in like 3 nanoseconds

[runic atlas]

you say it as if that made it better

[lone crown]

and is so mid

[craggy scroll]

Tbh i love bashing blan with funny horn

[lone crown]

The only interesting thing blangonga does is when it buries under the ground but thats not even that interesting nor unique

Balahara does it better

[runic atlas]

was confusing that for congalala

[tired oyster]

khezu in wilds master rank please.... please capcom......

[lone crown]

And balahara is actually peak design

[shell stream]

these are made up words

[fleet field]

guys is the trailer back yet

[valid sable]

Goss Harag for the expansion plz

[rigid basin]

free silksong tomorrow!!

[tired oyster]

lalabarina is the name of another monster in wilds

[shell stream]

unfathomable

[marsh ibex]

[runic atlas]

Kezhu is gen 1??? tf???

[marsh ibex]

Oh wait

[tired oyster]

there's a lot of "lala" "bala" type sounds in monster hunter wilds monster names

[marsh ibex]

I didn’t pin that

nvm

[fleet field]

lol

[tired oyster]

yeah

[full rune]

Why can't you check steam

[runic atlas]

Thought it was from rise...

[fleet field]

i was lazy

[marsh ibex]

be nice

[eternal thunder]

Hi

[tired oyster]

i wonder if they're gonna stick with the thing of "no elder dragons" in master rank or if part of doing that in base game was that elders would be more impactful in master rank. because if they include gore magala and NEVER add shagaru magala that would just be cruel

[fiery burrow]

I thought a ton of monsters were rise originals tbh

[runic atlas]

Erm actually it's 2 different words, which is a characteristic only Apexes have (in this game), which means the Bala Larina is an Apex

[full rune]

I'll never be nice to lazy people

[tired oyster]

hellll no khezu has been around forever

[cunning geode]

khezu is the series mascot

[lone crown]

Khezu, gogmazios, valstrax, seltas queen coming soon guys trust

[full rune]

So anyways is there a release date yet

[fiery burrow]

gen 1 khezu theme is still the best

[runic atlas]

I mean Zoh Shia isn't an elder dragon just by technicality

[fleet field]

may 10 or june 12th idk(i made these up)

[lone crown]

It basically is but isn't its weird

[tired oyster]

yeah and gore magala was qualified as an elder dragon until wilds

[fiery burrow]

ZS is the best elder

[tired oyster]

now it's just a "pseudo-elder dragon"

[fiery burrow]

Gore was ??? pretty sure

[cunning geode]

could you imagine if they finally give khezu a theme and it still starts with a couple minutes of silence before jumpscaring you with music

[runic atlas]

Gore Magala was qualified as a "???" until wilds

[full rune]

If you right I make you mod

[tired oyster]

really?

[runic atlas]

Yes

[fleet field]

bet

[lone crown]

Demi-elder

[fiery burrow]

Xenojiiva is a demi-elder

[valid sable]

Gore is just a juvenile elder dragon, no need for weird extra terms

[tired oyster]

i feel like in 4u at least it was directly called an elder dragon before it grew into shagaru

maybe i'm misremembering

[full rune]

Elder dragon is just a dragon there's no real lore around it. You guys don't even know league of legends lore

[tired oyster]

league of mid

[runic atlas]

Wow Zal can't believe your sexi-no actually looking at the games you play I definitely can

[chilly crane]

League of legends more like smegol legends

Well I guess they're kinda treating the Apexes in this game as the Elders since Arch-Tempered versions

[full rune]

No

[runic atlas]

I'm gonna get flamed for having the most vanilla, cold ahh take ever

But it's Rey Dau

[fiery burrow]

Zoh Shia is the best

[lone crown]

You can name one for looks, one for its actual gameplay

[tired oyster]

rey dau is i think FAR from what the actually best-designed monster was but fighting it for the first time was extremely memorable and the first time i've been that hyped during a fight in mh in a while

[pulsar remnant]

Since I’ve never played I pick the cactus guy

[lone crown]

For me both go to ZS lmfao

[fiery burrow]

Excluding green rathalos of course

[shell stream]

does wilds have deviljho

[mellow matrix]

dinl

[tired oyster]

no but it probably will in one of the title updates

[shell stream]

game sucks

[fiery burrow]

I had a wack dream where zoh shia walked with tank tracks. Fight was the same
