I'm trying not to think too much about it cuz when i do, the pain gets worse and I panic which makes the pain worse. Like anxiety attacks

But at the same time I'm too lethargic to do anything and too scared to make phone calls when places are open

[fast hearth]

order using an app instead of calling?

[alpine marsh]

No places around me do that

If I want results I have to speak to someone (and spend over an hour in a queue of course)

This being made by the same guy who's so obsessed with birth rates and fertility and breeding women really seals the deal huh

Trying to comprehend how you're trying to spin the conspiracy.

Please explain

[upper trail]

That's not really a conspiracy that's just Elon's explicit statements online lol

[soft scroll]

How are you trying to relate that to AI girlfriends...?

[upper trail]

Focusing on AI girlfriends would be a direct contradiction to the stated goals of having more kids is the point

[soft scroll]

Presumably, if that was his driving motivation behind the change, and the change was driven solely by him, you'd expect him to avoid it.

[upper trail]

Yes but Elon isn't exactly the smartest guy on the planet

[soft scroll]

OK, so the theory is that he's intentionally lowering the birth rate so he can replace everyone with Indians. Got it.

[upper trail]

I think you're reading too deep into this I just think he's an idiot who can't even have a consistent goal and objective in his mind

[soft scroll]

Then why not say "Elon stupid" instead of trying to be round-about with it? It's not an uncommon opinion.

[upper trail]

I think it was funny idk

[soft scroll]

Made by the same guy who [unrelated fact].
How's that fact related?
It's not. It's totally random. He's just an idiot.

should ban all waifu and other games like that too then

[short blade]

You think this is a gotcha

It's not

Games that exploit someone's loneliness to gain money should be banned

[fast hearth]

thats you saying

point is theres way more things to worry about

also missing the info that with the update to grok 4, paid subscribers to it now have access to +18 options

thats gonna generate so much money

[short blade]

That's not me saying. Legally, at least in France, it's very questionable

Looking a bit more into it, it's a real gray area though as there is no way for the person to prove that the game designer knew their game was made to exploit loneliness

[quartz obsidian]

somehow I'm not the one causing debates?

this is interesting

[short blade]

Sadly I can only speak in my limited French law school experience, but it's always an interesting debate

[high marsh]

Yeah many EU countries are cracking down on gatcha mechanics.
however, companies are doing "smart" things to get out of it.

if they show you the content of the lootbox before buying it - or can guarantee something through a visibly pity timer - then it is allowed.

which is kinda useless since what it used to be was:

• unknown content box 1 -> pay to open -> Rolls reward -> unknown content box 2 pops in the store.

now it is:

• Rolls reward -> known content box 1 -> pay to open -> unknown content box 2 pops in the store. -> rolls etc.

it just shifts when something is rolled

Gacha is another beast entirely because it is just gambling, which is proven to have devastating effects on children's development and adults

[quartz obsidian]

i turned out fine

[high marsh]

so is parasocial behaviour from many games

[quartz obsidian]

both fine and fine as in hot

[short blade]

They go around it just like how a lot of places where gambling is banned, people go through hoops to have you buy "tokens" that can be redeemed for "gifts"

[quartz obsidian]

I've never been addicted to gambling while playing games as a child lmao, I was very conservative with how I spent money

[short blade]

To me the first real bad offender for that was Riot

"Yeah you can play 50 hours to get that new character, or you could just pay 10 bucks"

50 hours vs 10 bucks is a great deal wdym

50 hours is generous ngl

Literally almost every part of the world just uses Metric and it's transferrable anywhere but the US

[waxen dagger]

You know this is just the start. Eventually if Visa and Mastercard don't like certain games and begin to sway on other things for their own interests we could be seeing a change in the tides of what we can purchase using Visa and Mastercard

Good thing I have a Discover and American Express card.

[short blade]

Anyways, that's how Paypal, Paysafecard and other card providers will gain traction

[waxen dagger]

Then again which credit card don't I have

I have 16 credit cards ATM

[waxen dagger]

Yeap Visa and Mastercard are playing a dangerous game.

[short blade]

Like even if EVERY card provider and payment provider vetos games on steam...

You can just buy steam credit and/or gift cards

[waxen dagger]

Yea just cheese the system

[waxen dagger]

I could think of many horrific things that are in those images.

[upper trail]

You can say porn games its okay

[short blade]

Like... A french person

[upper trail]

The credit card companies have been really cracking down on anyone making a purchase of those types of things with their card in general

[smoky siren]

[short blade]

Yeah but like trying to veto steam games is just dumb

[waxen dagger]

I mean it makes sense too considering it can complicate things legally.

[high marsh]

They do this alllllll the time though

[upper trail]

Every time you see the credit card companies doing "crackdowns" it really just meant purchasing porn

[high marsh]

nothing new, many online services get threatened by providers with "we dont like what you are doing - stop it or we stop facilitating payments"

[waxen dagger]

Lol

[upper trail]

It's all in that same vein as to why Tumblr suddenly had to ban 18+ content on their website, or why Patreon has been cracking down on 18+ content creators lately

[high marsh]

18+ stuff being the most notable ones yeah

[short blade]

It's just dumb

[smoky siren]

I hate they're allowed to get away with that

[upper trail]

That's American hegemony for ya

[smoky siren]

[high marsh]

they are not threatening legal action or anything, they will just stop working with them.
but their position gives them power sadly

[waxen dagger]

This is why people gotta start opening up discover and Amex credit or debit cards

[high marsh]

Debit is so much more common in europe than NA its crazy

[waxen dagger]

I mean credit cards are alot of secure than debit cards and less annoying for consumers

[upper trail]

For the longest time I've always wondered what is it with people outside of Asia who just keeps using credit cards for nearly anything

Apparently they just dont really use debit in general

[short blade]

Oh yeah my card is a debit card

I didn't even bother to check before

[waxen dagger]

When you get your debit card stolen they can drain all the money from your bank account

That money is your money

[short blade]

If you don't have good security measures, sure

[upper trail]

Yeah that sounds like a you issue

I've lost my debit cards a good amount and I never got hacked/money stolen

[waxen dagger]

With a credit card it is the corporations money making them more motivated to increase security measures and get the money back

[high marsh]

I will use it for the insurance it gives on online purchases.
"oh a package didnt arrive?" - chargeback.
with debit it becomes a whole ordeal with all parties involved, and they have to manually pay you back

[waxen dagger]

The money isn't yours

[short blade]

They need your card, your code, for you to not be able to access your phone to block the card, you not being able to call the bank, the bank not noticing the strange transactions and block your card...

[upper trail]

Granted my bank app actually allows me to lock my debit card instantly whenever needed so

That's never gonna be a problem lol

[short blade]

Yeah same

[waxen dagger]

Yea I have never gotten my credit card or debit card stolen but I still use credit cards for everything.

[waxen dagger]

Not if they drain it all in one go

Happened to one of my friends

[short blade]

Like credit/debit cards for 90% of purchases will be similar

[upper trail]

And how would they drain it if they don't have the passwords/code to crack it open

[short blade]

Your friend had a shitty bank counselor

[waxen dagger]

Took my friend 2 weeks to get his money back

[waxen dagger]

Account and routing number

[high marsh]

there are measures in place with most providers.
daily limits and such. and like credit cards will block insanely large sums

[waxen dagger]

That is the main vulnerability with debit cards

[short blade]

Yeah, debit cards will also block large sums

[waxen dagger]

But regardless it is easier to get your money back from a credit card issuer

[upper trail]

Account and routing number alone means nothing if it still requires a code to access though

[high marsh]

for sure, which is why i will always use it for large purchases

and then immediately pay it off the same day

[waxen dagger]

Yes this is what I do too

[upper trail]

Or are you telling me it's that easy in the US to just break through a bank account

[waxen dagger]

Not just the US all banks basically use SWIFT

My cousin who lived in Spain had all the money from his checking account drained as well. Took him 2 weeks while the bank investigated.

[short blade]

Because of a card steal or because they just drained it straight from the account ?

[waxen dagger]

It was from a card skimmer

Although I've seen it happen both ways

You guys would be suprised at ghe vulnerabilities in our banking sectors

[upper trail]

You're still not telling me where exactly this all leads to if it still requires a password/pin code/what have you

Like sure these things have vulnerabilities but that's also like

All security measures lol

[short blade]

Like we seem to be already beyond the debit/credit card difference

[upper trail]

Yeah

[waxen dagger]

You can spoof it multiple people have already done it and seen it been done in person

Well not in person but I saw the aftermath of the exploit

And the exploit was explained to me

[upper trail]

I'm not gonna count password brute forcing dude of course that can happen if you brute force passwords constantly

[waxen dagger]

This is why I purchase everything with my credit cards

[waxen dagger]

I am not talking about hashing

This also has nothing to do with online accounts

This is like that actual mainframe and SWIFT banking system

[upper trail]

Like human spoofing?

[waxen dagger]

Yes card skimming, data spoofing, token tracing, ECT

You'd be suprised at how many predatory banking exploits there are in our banking system

This is why I purchase everything with credit cards

[short blade]

I'm surprised that you don't get banks blocking suspicious fund stuff

[waxen dagger]

Some people are on the inside trained to look the other way

[upper trail]

Am I crazy or does this just sound less like inherent bank vulnerabilities and more just general security vulnerabilities

[short blade]

Yeah

It sounds like even with a credit card, they'll find other ways to screw you over

[short blade]

If they have your IBAN number they could just forge cheques

[short blade]

Yeah sure I'm gonna trust Gemini

[waxen dagger]

I saw an article about all of this on credit karma

This just summarizes it

[smoky siren]

[waxen dagger]

But since again I've seen these attacks and theft happen to other people I can tell you it is a very real thing

[upper trail]

That's literally the Gemini AI pumped out overview

If there's an article why not link it

[waxen dagger]

Yes but again like I said I can tell you from personal experience this is a thing

[smoky siren]

Ye, how about a screenshot from a site

[short blade]

And debit cards have the same level of protection in here at least, where the bank has to refund you in full

[waxen dagger]

Here's What Happens When You Lose Your Debit Card - The Globe and Mail https://share.google/QnvFzH560zk1RcFov

[waxen dagger]

Yes but it takes alot longer

[short blade]

I've been refunded in like a week

[waxen dagger]

Credit cards replace money on average much faster than debit cards

[waxen dagger]

On average like I said

Also larger sums tend to be more suspicious

And take longer

Bank usually won't mind refunding you for like 100-200

But when the number gets bigger like what happened to my cousin it took him 2 weeks and 3 days if I remmember rightly

He even missed a rent payment during that time

[short blade]

... Only that?

I expected at least 3/6 months

[upper trail]

I'm kinda just lost tbh

[waxen dagger]

When your paying bills and stuff 2 weeks could mean alot of damage

[alpine marsh]

https://youtu.be/FqL054r3HUc?si=HUC2HIeoOlCbBMha

[short blade]

Another cultural difference then

[upper trail]

Maybe you guys' bank apps just have no way of securing your debit cards automatically because this really has never been a problem on my end

No I read the article

[short blade]

It's been a problem on my end and 500 € took like a week

[waxen dagger]

It doesn't have to do with the app it is the banking system itself

[short blade]

(Dude used the card i had connected to my microsoft account)

[waxen dagger]

When I say large sums I mean more like 2k - 3k

[short blade]

The most my debit card can do is 500 a month from online payments

[waxen dagger]

Yea sometimes the transfer isn't labeled under online payments. Some malicious attacks label it as a shell corporation hence why they can take more.

They use other venders to bypass the limits

[upper trail]

Again this doesn't sound like a debit card problem anymore so much as it's just the inherent issues of a digital banking system

[waxen dagger]

I know there was even one case where a vendor managed to spoof a high tier goverment vendor and used that to transfer money

[waxen dagger]

It is a debit card issue since once they have your debit card fully stolen they can just drain the rest of the money from the account.

Debit card is the most common vulnerability to checking accounts

[short blade]

For 99% of people, Debit card is not gonna have these issues and is gonna be just as convenient if not more

[waxen dagger]

Ah if your talking about convince then Credit Cards have Debit cards best

[upper trail]

It still doesn't tell me it's a debit card problem if the attacks to drain it includes highly complicated spoofing attempts and account misdirection right at the system

[waxen dagger]

Credit cards get you multiple times the rewards

[short blade]

Remember, in the end the house always wins

[waxen dagger]

Yes because usually it happens when debit cards get skimmed or RIFD stolen

[waxen dagger]

Not if you just pay on time and avoid late paymenfs

I haven't payed a single dollar in interest or annual payments

[upper trail]

Do you just not trust using your money directly over like paying interest rates constantly

[waxen dagger]

If you pay before the month cycle is over you won't get charged interest

You guys clearly are not well versed in credit cards

[quartz obsidian]

credit cards an american thing

[waxen dagger]

I have gotten over 3k in credit card points on purchases I would otherwise have done anyways using credit card rewards and sign up bonuses

[short blade]

Surely seems so

[waxen dagger]

You can get some crazy good rewards and use out of credit cards

[upper trail]

That sounds worrying to be honest

That's gonna catch up to you man

[quartz obsidian]

you know it's not a good system when only the americans use it when it's widely available

[waxen dagger]

I have a credit score of 780 and again I haven't payed a single dollar in interest or a single annual payment

[short blade]

Here we don't even HAVE a point system for credit cards

Or a credit score

[quartz obsidian]

credit card culture has been so ingrained into the US that it's the only thing they use lmao

[upper trail]

Alright

[short blade]

I just checked on my bank website and to even GET the opportunity to have a credit card you need to scroll down and subscribe to a separate card

[waxen dagger]

Credit cards in the EU have alot more limited rewards system than here in the US

[upper trail]

I still think you'd better off do debit for your normal purchases anyway rather than doing credit constantly

Like I'm not gonna use credit just to buy Pringles and a milk carton and a dozen eggs

[waxen dagger]

That is a constant vulnerability but it is your decision if you want to expose yourself to the risk

[short blade]

I mean, the more I look at it, the more I think there's absolutely no advantage one way or the other

If your main issue is security then stop using a card altogether and pay what you can in cash or bank check

[waxen dagger]

What about the vulnerability of your checking account

[upper trail]

Security vulnerability is a better problem to have than financial vulnerability from a bad month where I can't pay the credit back on tiime

[waxen dagger]

Paying cash is alot more inconvenient

[quartz obsidian]

sadly security is not something non americans worry about, i know how crazy it sounds lmao

[short blade]

I'd rather have the money debited immediately for my accounting

[waxen dagger]

Plus getting your wallet stolen you would loose your cash

[waxen dagger]

Just pay off your credit card immediately every month

[quartz obsidian]

no? you really can't just loose your money like that

[short blade]

Ironically I do a lot of my daily purchases in cash because it's easier here

[upper trail]

Some people cannot immediately pay off their credit card every month when their financial situation ain't stable

[short blade]

I like knowing how much money I have left to spend on groceries by just... Opening my wallet

[waxen dagger]

It is still inconvinent to call the bank and larger amounts are subject to longer more annoying investigations

[quartz obsidian]

it really doesn't take that long...

[waxen dagger]

What will you do it you get the wallet stolen then?

[upper trail]

But that's the point of why I have a bank now doesn't it

[short blade]

I live in a town where there's like 5000 people at most

[waxen dagger]

Depending on the amount of money it can take a long time usually amounts of money stolen of 1k and above take more than a week.

[short blade]

There's more chances of me losing my wallet in the bushes than having it stolen

[quartz obsidian]

if it was stolen honey it's not a big deal to wait a week lmao

[waxen dagger]

What if you loose it and no one can return it?

[quartz obsidian]

like what kind of logic is that

[upper trail]

This really is just not the way to live bro I feel like you're worrying/being so paranoid about 1% chance of your money drained/stolen as opposed to like

[short blade]

Then that's just my bad

[quartz obsidian]

if something is stolen you can have the bare minmum of patients

[waxen dagger]

What if you have bills to pay?

[quartz obsidian]

your arguments are useless...

[upper trail]

The more commonly-seen problem of just not being able to pay off your credit cards

[quartz obsidian]

well if you have everything on your card that's just stupid of you

most ppl still have cash

[upper trail]

I feel like I'm talking to a credit card salesman like bro is so invested in making sure we cannot use direct cold cash

[waxen dagger]

You'd be suprised at home common it is I've seen 2 people in my personal life get their account stolen by debit cards.

[quartz obsidian]

and most renters where i live would understand and allow me a delay of pay

i'm friendly with my renters

[short blade]

As long as you have some money left over for groceries, you can just write a mail or call the people you owe the bills to and say you'll pay late because your card got stolen

[upper trail]

Wow so like near atom-levels of percentage of people versus uhhhhhh

Everyone else's lives

[waxen dagger]

Yea I guess but still

[quartz obsidian]

but still what

[short blade]

It's annoying and stressful, don't get me wrong

[quartz obsidian]

your argument gets disproven and you still don't accept it lol

[waxen dagger]

What Nugat said it is annoying and stressful when it happens

[short blade]

But like it's not worth converting people to credit/debit card

[quartz obsidian]

you just dont like debit cards and prefer credit cards, you don't have a valid opinion on why they're better because you don't use them

[waxen dagger]

But what about the security benefits? And the rewards?

Convenience

[upper trail]

It's just weird to argue about safety of cash or debit/checking account but meanwhile trying to peddle the credit system where there are many cases of people being screwed over by interests rates they can't pay for one reason or another or the way credit inherently encourages indulgent purchases to the point of endangering your own financials

[quartz obsidian]

^

[waxen dagger]

Just pay the cards off before the end of the month

[fast hearth]

i guess my daily dose of creating long discussion is already done

[waxen dagger]

It isn't rocket science guys

[short blade]

Rewards is an american thing

[short blade]

I'd rather have the money debited immediately so I can open my app at any point without needing a calculator to know the money I have remaining

[quartz obsidian]

also trying to take into account your card being stolen as a flaw of a debit card is ridiculous. if you get your stuff stolen, that's on you, it has nothing to do with the debit card itself lmao

[waxen dagger]

Some credit cards in Europe gets some rewards if I'm not mistaken

[quartz obsidian]

that's like saying an ipad is better than a phone since it's bigger and harder to steal and has a bigger screen

[waxen dagger]

No it isn't flaw of debit card. If the debit card gets stolen they can drain your bank account that is what I said earlier in chat.

[quartz obsidian]

it isn't a flaw of debit card and proceeds to say why it is...

[waxen dagger]

Plus there are card skimmers and just RFID hackers thaf can literally steal your debit card by just being close to you and bumping into you without you noticing

[quartz obsidian]

yeah that doesn't really happen outside america...

[upper trail]

I just think in the way I've used my financials, credit is more dangerous for me to use than debit/cash/checking since who knows if I can pay interest rates consistently every month or not

[waxen dagger]

Also it is a flaw since Credit cards aren't connected to your checking account thus protecting the rest of your money

[waxen dagger]

Ok yea now your just willfully ignorant of crime.

[quartz obsidian]

and if you let someone just loom over you to steal your credit card you're being stupid, i always am aware of my surroundings when paying

[upper trail]

And I imagine for most people they don't think about rewards they just think about using the money they have immediately

[short blade]

It does if you go in like Paris or something

But usually you'll have insurance

[waxen dagger]

Your not understanding literally someone passing by you can steal your debit card data if they tap your wallet in your pocket

I have an anti RFID wallet

Specifically to prevent tap stealing

[quartz obsidian]

why are you carrying your wallet in your pocket

is everyone just that fucking dumb where you live?

why tap it when you can legit just grab it at that point

[waxen dagger]

It can also happen in purses with a strong enough RFID scanner

[waxen dagger]

Bro they can do it from outside your clothes

[quartz obsidian]

you're really delusional buddy...

[waxen dagger]

That is how NFC tech works you clearly have not seen these in action

[upper trail]

The more I hear this the more I genuinely think you have a case of paranoia over a very niche crime

[quartz obsidian]

fr

[waxen dagger]

Bruh criminals are becoming more and more resourceful

[quartz obsidian]

you should wear full body armor with a shield

might help the ppl from space trying to steal your info

[upper trail]

Then why even go outside bro criminals can ding you every time because they become more resourceful so just don't do anything

[waxen dagger]

I can show you a video about how easy it is so steal someone's credit card just from tapping near their wallet.

[quartz obsidian]

oh wait even armor doesn't work

guess you just can't leave home

shame

[waxen dagger]

It all can be prevented by literally just using an RFID wallet blocker

[upper trail]

Oh well thank you for admitting credit cards can be extremely vulnerable too

[waxen dagger]

Which I do

[waxen dagger]

But the credit cards don't connect to your checking account

[short blade]

It does happen in Paris mind you, but Paris is also a hellhole

[waxen dagger]

Your ignoring the biggest issue

[quartz obsidian]

no we're ignoring u

[waxen dagger]

Most big cities are

[waxen dagger]

Yall seem to be extremely sheltered and ignorant

[upper trail]

And once again you're showcasing paranoia over an extremely niche crime that can happen

[quartz obsidian]

whatever you say bud

[waxen dagger]

Better to be safe than sorry as they say

[quartz obsidian]

you should go live on an island then

[waxen dagger]

Plus again it isn't much work literally doing the things I said

[quartz obsidian]

safest place there is

[waxen dagger]

Again pretty easy preventative measures against theft...

[quartz obsidian]

except natural disasters

[upper trail]

You're overestimating how much people care about the safety of their checking account versus the very real issue of paying interest rates because people's financials can be varied and difficult to discern every month

[waxen dagger]

Not an issue to pay interest rates if you just pay before the month is over

[waxen dagger]

Set reminders or just use autopay

[quartz obsidian]

this guy is really deluded into this thing

i didn't expect him to ride this so hard lmao

[waxen dagger]

Because I have earned over 3k in credit card points.

[upper trail]

And what if they don't have the money bro

[quartz obsidian]

i don't really care bout your dumb points...

[waxen dagger]

You can just sync your debit and credit account to stop at a certain point

I've done it

[quartz obsidian]

I have an amazing score of this product so I'm amazing so it must be the best and everything else sucks

[waxen dagger]

Considering I've gotten $3000 in points and you haven't I'd say I'm the smart one

Also never gotten any of my credit cards or debit cards stolen

[upper trail]

Oh so in the end the debit card still matters here now doesn't it

[quartz obsidian]

judging how you consider yourself smart based on a little card you use I'd beg to differ

[waxen dagger]

I guess you should have a debit card but I would just rather use a credit card for enhanced security and rewards

[quartz obsidian]

rewards keeps popping up

[waxen dagger]

I have 16 credit cards not just one

[quartz obsidian]

it's this word

it's like a gold shiny word that yall flock to

[waxen dagger]

So free money isn't good I think your the one who is delusional.

[quartz obsidian]

i'm screenshotting that sentence

that's hilarious

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-free-money-free-money-gif-8958393

[waxen dagger]

I took the screen shot with the context

I've played the system and gotten all those rewards

[quartz obsidian]

scared of me trying to frame you for something? is that another paranoid thing you have going for ya?

[waxen dagger]

Not particularly but I always like to have context

[quartz obsidian]

i took a screenshot for fun and he's out here taking screenshots of the whole conversation cause of his paranoia

may i suggest a therapist

[waxen dagger]

Also have you noticed that I think your just envious that I have managed to obtain $3000 in cash by just doing purchases I normally would have done anyways?

[quartz obsidian]

Are you okay? I'm genuinely asking, cause this whole conversation has you really heated and it's a crazy hill to die on

[waxen dagger]

I'm not dieing on a hill I am just making my points.

[quartz obsidian]

pfft now you think everyone who doesn't agree is jealous of you cause of your great credit card?

here i thought my ego was huge

[waxen dagger]

Not particularly but I notice that you seem to be trying to deny the clear cut benefit of $3000. I am genuinely concerned you don't think this is a positive thing.

But it looks pointless to try to explain the clear benefits of something to someone who can't comprehend them.

[quartz obsidian]

i would agree

[waxen dagger]

[quartz obsidian]

it's just really hard not to laugh at you

no offense

it seems you even scared away the rest of chat

[waxen dagger]

Yea you won't rage bait me lol

[quartz obsidian]

i don't know what you're on about

i've been having a serious conversation from the start

maybe you're too immature to see that

[fast hearth]

gun to the face "give me your wallet"
is not really being stupid

[quartz obsidian]

this was with the idea of the futuristic tech from aliens that allows you to tap your wallet to steal all of your information

if a guy is holding you at gunpoint, you're prolly giving up more than your card...

[ocean forge]

or you know

just buy the aliens

smh

[hard gazelle]

Since we’re like four days away until the next death battle, who do you guys think it’s gonna win between Miles Morales versus Deku?

[ember canyon]

I don't know too much about deku, so I am unsure if miles will win.

[waxen dagger]

I think Deku has this. He might need to break his arm but he would win.

[quartz obsidian]

deku easily

[night summit]

it's sure the most easiest fight i've saw on this chan jeff, deku will smite to oblivion miles

[fast hearth]

Yesh pretty sure deku
He hás speed of light velocity while even the strongest Miles version, as a villain named ultimatum, doesnt reach that

[night summit]

miles is good don't get me wrong

but yeah

[quartz obsidian]

i mean death battle has never been known for fair matchups

[night summit]

deku has speed of light, heavy power fight and the capacity of the old one for all bringer

[fast hearth]

Miles hás smarts, but unless they make Miles as If he was Batman, he cant really win

[quartz obsidian]

thye might use something with cosmic spiderman

but that wouldn't make sense

but death battle is known to do stupid shit

they might use some random one off feat on powerful character

[lime elk]

kid with a kjillion possible attacks versus slightly taller kid with invis, webs, and thunders

[alpine marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px9KGMiF0cQ

[ember canyon]

Miles from an Asia game where they made him an immortal being!
Jk
(But seriously tho, why is Tom suddenly immortal due to game?)

[waxen dagger]

FR he literally has all the powers of Miles Morales Spiderman except electricity. Even danger sense is kinda like spider sense

[waxen dagger]

Idk man Deku was literally shown destroying buildings at his strongest. Literal flight inertia controll.

[quartz obsidian]

He's for deku lol

[dense wasp]

i mean they might be cheasy and actual use actual deku

instead of a past one.

since current deku doesnt even have his quirk anymore and uses a suit

[waxen dagger]

Death battle would be capable of doing something that dumb.

Question do they have that game mechanic in where you can’t fly on pals?

[lime elk]

post MHA deku vs pre SpiderMan miles

[lime elk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/507368188955197448/1392533594328531084/image0.gif

[dense wasp]

you can always fly on pals

it was gliding with pals that was removed, now glider pals instead buff actual gliders

[hard gazelle]

Thank goodness I heard about their last update that they were gonna have it where you can’t fly on pals because of Nintendo

[dense wasp]

nah that was gliding

now pals that before where able to glide, instead now give their abbility to actual gliders, so only thing that really changed is the visual

[hard gazelle]

At their full power ( and no the image does not predict which version I’m picking ) who would win in a fight?

Brainiac or Kang The Conqueror

[short blade]

Minecraft : cozy anarchy

[fast hearth]

that one is kinda easier, despite the top brainiac becoming a galaxy destroyer with power to decay life, from what i remember maybe there's a stronger one.
The top Kang has both natural time manipulation and precognition on top of armor that protects him from being erased from time.

so he would see the future of brainiac targetting him and either lock him out of time or simply travel through time to prevent his creation

[dense wasp]

i dunno who the first one is but like with Kang its gotta be specific about one fight or the kill, cause Kang can always come back due to being a Multiversal Traveller

[fast hearth]

i guess its a matter of who can hit first

found, there are some reality bending Brainiacs, recent ones, but Kang still has the busted precognition. Seeying the future + being able to time travel is busted

[floral creek]

I'd say yeah. Brainiac is like, stronger than Kang, but Kang's time travel powers would give him the means to beat Brainiac

[waxen dagger]

Oi silver is it your Bday today?

how to make massive amounts of tnt (in... uuuuuh... uuuuuuuuuum, terraria? minecraft? i guess yeah?)

I've seen a lot of good stuff about rimworld but oof, those huge games are kinda overwhelming to me XD, not trying it anytime soon

I already get a little confused and overwhelmed with base terraria lol

[waxen dagger]

Is rimworld good?

[short blade]

It's either a game that will completely overtake your life and you will play for tens of hours on end, or you'll drop it fast and hate it

When your colony is good, it feels like you're almost playing an idle game

[waxen dagger]

Knowing my addictive personality it will consume my life

What is it even about?

[short blade]

Colony builder where you direct pawns to do stuff

They have autonomy but you can force them to do stuff, or draft them to control them directly (like you'll have to in combat)

Very sandboxy, there are endings but the core gameplay is just creating a base that can survive the endlessly increasing level of danger

[waxen dagger]

Danger 👀

[lime elk]

and a lotta variables and modifiers that a unit can have past just being "a pawn", i've heard

[waxen dagger]

What is the danger?

[short blade]

Raids, mechanoids, insects, the environment will sometimes try to kill me, animals going berserk

[waxen dagger]

Well well well sounds like my kind of game

Sounds like factorio

Going to look up gameplay

[short blade]

And you need to manage your pawns mental state to keep them happy or they'll break down in minor, major or extreme ways

and an extreme break could just be "this pawn will try to murder someone"

[waxen dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/excellent-happy-mr-burns-simpsons-satisfied-gif-16091269

[short blade]

And the difficulty is 100% configurable, from "the game will never challenge you in a major way" to "You will hit unbelievable levels of danger in the first year"

[waxen dagger]

Can I use psychological manipulation and "medication" to controll them?

[short blade]

You can make drugs to keep them happy yeah

DLCs tend to make that easier too, but they're 💵 pricy 💵

[waxen dagger]

Well I might just get the game.

[lime elk]

if factorio didn't look that ugly i'd prefer it over satisfactory(though that being said i've never tried any of those 2 because I don't want my life to spiral down into idle games yet)

[waxen dagger]

Is the current deal on the deluxe edition good?

[short blade]

Yeah, biotech and odyssey are the best DLCs

[stable quest]

What am i looking at

[waxen dagger]

It's only a 5% discount I think I will wait for a much better discount

Holidays are coming up

[short blade]

Vanilla game is pretty fun already

[waxen dagger]

But I am diffintely intrigued

[short blade]

You can definiely look up gameplay

[waxen dagger]

I am watching a video titled "is Rimworld worth it in 2025"

[short blade]

Sadly most that I can find always has the latest DLC so it's not a good example of vanilla gameplay, as Vanilla has changed HEAVILY from 1.0 to 1.6

[waxen dagger]

Seems fhe answer is yes

[waxen dagger]

Yea I noticed in the change logs 1.6 recently dropped

The dude in the video says that the game prioritizes gameplay over graphics which is just my style

[muted helm]

i tried a bit of Rimworld but man that game is a lot for a new player

[waxen dagger]

I like being overwhelmed >:)

[muted helm]

im sure theres a market for that

i need to try it again sometime though

looks really fun if you get past the learning curve

[waxen dagger]

People say this is a war crime simulator

[muted helm]

i enjoy simulators and war crimes

i play some scaven in tw warhammer 3

the geneva convention is a to do list for those guys

[waxen dagger]

Geneva convention? I think you mean Geneva Suggestions.

[muted helm]

basically

https://tenor.com/view/ratling-guns-total-war-warhammer-skaven-warhammer-total-war-gif-15796051

[fast hearth]

a canada simulator?

[waxen dagger]

Wait till people find out what Canada did during WW2

👀

@dense wasp oooi Silver I saw you were playing Rimworld as well would you say it is a good game?

Oh boy considering how much silver is typing I think I will be pleasantly suprised

[dense wasp]

its fun for me but i use it more as a sandbox, dont like the challenge, so it can be rather frsutrating when my people die, i usually just reload a save then and if a raid is too much just delete it. its def made to be more of a challenge but too many mods can also make it too weak. like i had space lasers and auto turret ships but got attacked by tribals with wooden clubs which also felt a bit off, never played vanilla tho

[dense wasp]

if you like lets plays tho Mr. Samual Streamer is a very good rimworld creator always with good new ideas and modpacks to try out

[waxen dagger]

Alright I think I am getting the game

Like TODAY

[waxen dagger]

Why watch let's plays when I can just play myself

[dense wasp]

i prefer lets plays always lul

also ew they changed people profiles again

like why would the profile need to be this big

[waxen dagger]

People with bad eye sight?

[dense wasp]

the text size didnt change tho

[waxen dagger]

People with bad eye sight usually just use those screen readers

[dense wasp]

its the same profile as before just now with a giant emptiness

[waxen dagger]

Lol it makes my profile look even more cursed

[dense wasp]

that would be how the profile used to look like

[waxen dagger]

Oh that's what you mean

It is the same on mobile though

[stable quest]

Im so stupid i thought i could make draw off my opponent's creatures

[dense wasp]

cant even switch to the main priofle anymore

[stable quest]

Ok i need to rework this jenova deck

[waxen dagger]

Magic the gathering deck names are something else lol

[waxen dagger]

Best boi

[stable quest]

Its a final fantasy card so

[waxen dagger]

Ah yea those names are wild too

[stable quest]

Blame ff for that

I just realized she doesnt have any arms

[waxen dagger]

Creeper energy

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-creeper-gif-9625176691931463970

Is so cursed seeing a creeper with arms

[stable quest]

Man i kind of want the alt art too

[short blade]

Necro but yeah, it's a LOT to take in

[waxen dagger]

Man this is giving off ghost in the shell vibes

[short blade]

And your first few colonies will blow up for no reason

[quartz obsidian]

i was on my phone so I couldn't see the actual message, but why is it that as soon as she comes back she replies to a random message of mine being a bitch lmao?

harma tell her to mind her manners ;-;

[waxen dagger]

Ok you've convinced me I am getting Rimworld TODAY

[short blade]

Let's be real

[stable quest]

Shut your up lmao

[short blade]

Dude devs mode like half of his series to make them more entertaining

(Which, tbh, is peak Rimworld gameplay)

[quartz obsidian]

she tried at least

[stable quest]

What is rimworld

[waxen dagger]

An amazing game

Haven't even played it yet but I can tell it is peak

[short blade]

Dwarf fortress but with more warcrimes and even more of a sandbox

[waxen dagger]

Geneva conventions don't exists on extra terrestrial planets

[stable quest]

Damn this reminds me of the escapists

[waxen dagger]

I thought then same thing

Same with prison architect

[short blade]

I mean I have a prisoner that's basically incapable of moving... So he's hooked up to an auto-feeder and my colonists have orders to never interact with them

I just reinvented solitary confinment

[fast hearth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUDUTyXMcfY

[waxen dagger]

Advanced Solitary Confinement >:)

[alpine marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/solitaire-solitaire-ending-solitaire-end-ending-bounce-gif-12792838

confinement

[stable quest]

Why does this overlord look weird

[deep shadow]

Huh

[gloomy sonnet]

is warframe actually good?

i dont trust free to play games

[deep shadow]

Define good

I love it, but it's one of those timesink kind of games

[waxen dagger]

Man nostalgia

[deep shadow]

Except Warframe actually values your time better than any other game I've ever played

[short blade]

Warframe is a grind still, but you can fully be F2P

[night summit]

warframe was maybe the only " true " free to play i've played, the mechanics are pretty dope, really making you feel like a space ninja, all update bring a lot of content

[short blade]

There's a very active trading scene where people trade premium currency for rare parts

[gloomy sonnet]

i think ill pass i hate grinding

[short blade]

It's a fun type of grind tbh

[night summit]

the graphism are very good, the story is here and constant, the music are very nice

[short blade]

I also passed on it because I didn't like the time aspect, but if you have a few friends, you can run missions all together and it's a blast

[night summit]

and at the end of the day, we all sleeping in the cold bellow

[short blade]

Plus yeah, genuinely good story

[gloomy sonnet]

a few friends??? nah im definitely skipping it

[night summit]

need 3

max

and the community was very kind and responding last time i've played

[alpine marsh]

only time I really use squads is when I do elite archimedias

and relic radshares

[night summit]

cause we all lift together

[short blade]

Oh yeah, Warframe community is a strong contender with the FF14 community for "Most Wholesome community"

And a contender with splatoon for the Most Gay for some reason

[gloomy sonnet]

i think ill just continue to play the same 3 games over and over again

[alpine marsh]

as a new player it would be nice to have a friend or 2 so when you do the first few missions they can show you the ropes slowly so you're not either A. solo and clueless or B. rando rushed and clueless

[alpine marsh]

pink rhino is the straightest arrow ever

[night summit]

remembering the whole week farming for ship parts, before the giving a whole ship just by doing a mission

[alpine marsh]

I hope they touch up railjack in the future. Really fun game mode that had a lot of trouble

[night summit]

at that moment i was like
after i was more like 2 for the price of one

[night summit]

i really love railjack, i love space battle

[alpine marsh]

yeah I enjoy it when I do it now

but I have mine all built up for the most part (still far from being capped in intrinsics though)

[night summit]

and i was really sad when i've start at the beginning and my friend told me " so you're a space ninja in a space travel game but there is no space battle "

[night summit]

and after few years

https://tenor.com/view/ship-travel-railjack-warframe-railjack-update-tenno-asteroid-gif-14614773

i've name my railjack " Normandy " in honor of mass effect

[alpine marsh]

my clan is gashapon so I named my ship Pity Breaker xD

[hard gazelle]

Out of these four cold blooded characters, who do you think would win?

1. Reptile.
2. The lizard.
3. Killer Croc
4. Leather Head.

[quartz obsidian]

the hot man one

[alpine marsh]

god I feel bad for Absolute Killer Croc..

the whole Absolute universe is sad

[fast hearth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63vUadokttk

game only starts on around the 10 min mark

guy really struggles with the blocking system

[stable quest]

Ughh the music is so loud i cant even hear what they're saying

[waxen dagger]

Killer Croc is insanely OP comapred to all others in this list especially in that one comic where he takes the Bain serum

[waxen dagger]

I bet they struggled with resource management. Yughio's alot more fast paced that magic the gathering

@short blade @dense wasp

My journey begins

[short blade]

Wait did you break bank

[waxen dagger]

I got the deluxe edition

[short blade]

Ooh I see

Odyssey and Biotech are the most impactful DLCs 😄

[waxen dagger]

etheirway I heard you should start off slow with DLC

[short blade]

Yeah ignore the grav ship for the first run and don't go crazy with xenotypes

[dense wasp]

oh wait this comment was in here...oh wild there was a whole other absolute killer croc talk in a different server. i thought that started cause of this message but just 2 seperate servers same convo

[waxen dagger]

Any suggestions on keybinds from pros?

I have 2 extra buttons on the side of my mouse

[dense wasp]

modded or vanilla

[waxen dagger]

vanilla I am just starting out

[dense wasp]

cant play rimworld without atleast 200 mods minimum

not even really kidding, so much quality of life

[waxen dagger]

Yea that is the general consensus but I am a purist I always play vanilla games initially then mod.

[dense wasp]

i only ever really play a game ocne so i dont really can play vanilla cause i know i wont experience modded then

[waxen dagger]

Ok I will figure out what to bind to my 2 mouse buttons I feel like some kind of hot key is probably usefull

[short blade]

You can still have a lot of fun this way

[waxen dagger]

I bet modded rimworld will be insane after playing vanilla for a while

[waxen dagger]

Any suggestions though on keybinds for my 2 mouse buttons?
