@compact kernel get down here

[compact kernel]

[ebon tusk]

Emoji kind a looks like micheal jackson

[primal coral]

LOL

[hollow portal]

@ebon tusk come here

[primal coral]

trust your gut, some call it god, some call it pattern recognition, some call it being smart, i like to think it's you and yourself when you look in a mirror and you gotta listen to yourself sometimes, especially in a world full of distractions and reasons not to

[hollow portal]

amem

Offtopic only has 10second delay nice

[primal coral]

@ebon tusk the past would be like an empty void up until the moment time travel exists

[ebon tusk]

According to artoria you cant walk if there isnt a road

[hollow portal]

its a metaphore

U believe in law of attraction Aetoria?

[ebon tusk]

So theres nothing and then theres something?

[primal coral]

deeper than that

think manifestations, truly believing and becoming something, has it's cost while also letting you get there, if you persevere through the up and downs

so more so than just, think good good life, think bad, bad life

[ebon tusk]

What if you dont think

[primal coral]

fly on wall

you float, while the world continues on a path upwards

[hollow portal]

yeah like what if u become enlightned like the buddha and stop thinking

That spanish dude said "I think, therefore I exist" so maybe if we stop thinking we stop existing lol

[primal coral]

think of life as an endless sea, and everyone around you as a stream carrying them to the surface, if you don't think or act, you simply sit still while the current carries everyone up while they swim in many different ways, as you drown since the world doesn't stop for anyone

[hollow portal]

so not thinkint is bad?

[ebon tusk]

What if i use a boat

[ebon tusk]

Its not possible to not think

[primal coral]

depends how you look at it, not saying what is good or bad, bc that's always subjective, however i don't find stagnating while the world shifts and turns around you, especially when you were put on this planet to do something, whatever it is, you are here to do it, so make the choice to try at least mhm mhm

[ebon tusk]

What if you just make a boat in the endless see

[primal coral]

we live in a society where most are unable to think a single thought that they formed themselves, that in itself is not thinking

[hollow portal]

true its all just an ecochamber

[primal coral]

the surface is heaven, every human has to swim up, not knowing how how it goes, metaphor fly

[hollow portal]

so is consiousness made by the brain?

[primal coral]

that's strange i was talking to myself about that earlier bc im writing a book and wasn't sure how to deal with that

[hollow portal]

ive always felt like the brain makes the connection of consiousness with the physical body

but consiousness itself is like not a physical thing and exists everywhere

u heard of the egg theory?

[primal coral]

egg story?

[ebon tusk]

Yes when egg crack the liquid comes out but yolk stays

The yolk is you and the liquid is your consiousenness

I might of made that up

[hollow portal]

its smthn like; every being that has existed, exists and will exists has and shares the same consiousness, and when all life in the universe dies, the consiousness has gained enough knowledge and experience to become a god or something

https://youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI

[primal coral]

i partially think it's either a stream of ancestors, or everyone sometimes, that I have the weight of everyone staring over my shoulders telling me what to do

[ebon tusk]

So where do eggs come in

[hollow portal]

its a really beautiful video u should watch it

[primal coral]

when you stare into the abyss, it stares back at you

[ebon tusk]

No it dosent it dont have eyes bro

[hollow portal]

the egg is made by a God, and its purpose is to make more Gods, so its like Gods are a species just like how humans are a species of beings

Each God looks after a different egg (universe)

[primal coral]

the meaning is everyone has to exist to experience everything so that we all become god one day, after going through the yin and yang of all life

[ebon tusk]

Thats a terrible story

[hollow portal]

yeah but in essence everyone is the same consiousness

[primal coral]

sometimes I like to think we share similar hiveminds to like what ants are capable of, yet we are plauged by social media so it's not easy to tell

[midnight lynx]

Why would u like to be like an ant

[ebon tusk]

Thats not how eggs work they have 1 chicken not trillions of creatures like humans

[hollow portal]

Carl Jung had the same idea, he called it a collective consiousness I think

[primal coral]

as that has a higher influence on us and opinions almost feel ingrained in them to be one way and not open to subjective differences in how others view it, since it's safer to share the same thoughts and not be different

[ebon tusk]

Alright this getting boring now lets stop

[hollow portal]

well evolutionary theory would probably favour that, since being different would cause u to be exiled and u wouldnt live long alone in nature

[ebon tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/centricide-jreg-funny-shut-up-gif-20222037

[hollow portal]

bro how many times do u get to talk to a fortune teller, let him share his knowledge

[primal coral]

in my story, the main character, my villan, and even the creator of the world(god) are all the same person, just in different times, all with good intentions, knowing that previous exists, so the egg story would be a really nice place to end, it's a nice warm hug of a story

[hollow portal]

Fly u remind me of my buddy Fawad

[ebon tusk]

U really believe he can predict the future bro he trolling you

[primal coral]

fly on wall

[hollow portal]

I want to write a book too, the premise is very similar

[hollow portal]

yeah I believe in superficial stuff tbh. Not that illuminati kind, but spiritual stuff

[primal coral]

listen to those thoughts, even if it happens sporadically and you write down a paragraph from a scene you want to remember, why not?

you won't write a best seller overnight, but you won't know until you try and fail

[ebon tusk]

How do i become a fortune teller?

[primal coral]

im not a fortune teller

[hollow portal]

I just have problems with paceing and how long I want to spend on each part

[hollow portal]

its a gift, u gotta be born with it

I have an idea of the end, but not of the start or middle

[ebon tusk]

Just after listening to these stories im feeling something

[primal coral]

my big advice is conceptually understand the skeleton of your story, what you want to come out of it, and make scenes or topics and spread them apart, akin to writing a paper or essay

[ebon tusk]

Im feeling a shit ton of bullshit

[primal coral]

and then link them together, rather than write from the start and have it build as it goes, however that doesn't mean the new scenes have to stop

and don't rush, do what you can because you want to and can, you owe it to yourself to work hard after all

[hollow portal]

I want the whole story to be a big life lesson, and like a journey of individual growth, rather than just an action/drama/adventure

[primal coral]

some call it the hero's journey

[hollow portal]

tbh the ending makes me feel very empty

its not sad, but its just the kind that makes u want to sit down on a chair and stare at the wall for an hour thinking wtf lead to this or what do I do now

[ebon tusk]

So sad

[hollow portal]

I'd love to share some details with u, maybe u can give me some advice, or I could give u ideas for ur book

[primal coral]

i'd say it's quite the opposite

[hollow portal]

how so

[primal coral]

helps me remember that everyone is on their own journey and reminds me that there's a little part of me, in every conscious human, especially the ones I meet, because I'll forever be their friend that they just haven't met yet

[hollow portal]

yeah I think our stories are very similar

but by the end of mine, the protagonist questions the validity of everything and everyone and the purpose of it all

its like travelling in space, but losing your anchor, you forget where your journey started, and you cant see where it leads

and u lose your way back home, to the real world

[primal coral]

my protagonist loses and suffers, as the world creates balance, akin to star wars, similar to darth vader

[hollow portal]

is the protagonist in ur story based on urself? bcuz thats how Im gonna do mine, since its harder for me to imagine or create up someone else's life and feelings, and I think it'll be more authentic if its based on me bcuz ik How I feel

[primal coral]

i have two mc's foils of eachother

however a lot of my characters are parts of myself

[hollow portal]

how far are u into the book? I wanna read it

[primal coral]

i have like 8-12 short stories, i am years years years away

to the point where i may pick up game design, just to tell it

only way I can truly express the LAYERS of ways I see the world and want others to escape into and feel empowered

[hollow portal]

im thinking of making a comic for it lol, visual story telling is probably the best way to tell some of these stories

[primal coral]

mhm lots of my stories come from music

i can visualize the story almost as it were playing in my head at random when I experience something, or remember a feeling, quite strange

[hollow portal]

same from me, i came up with a big part of it from listening to KidKudi

lemme find the song

https://youtu.be/d0BNwyrEDiA this is one of them, helped me get through a rough period

[primal coral]

helping through rough periods and inspo for story are two diff for me personally, even if the inspo for stories are carrying me further into myself, but two different periods

my brain goes like brr brr brr brr so dnb and a melodic tune helps me get lost in the song / whatever im doing and it helps me visualize a lot

https://youtu.be/LPgDD_VCf0c as this has been playing nonstop the past few days for me

[hollow portal]

that kid kudi song is just a minor part of it, the majority is from an ambient music playlist

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6D8Yvcs2EdP6X7cabez2br?si=07PzzH99TtmKHpIGv6yWLw&utm_source=copy-link

[primal coral]

ive heard the normal version a few times and have a story/video all for it, but slowing it down created an entire new scene for me, and idea for my story akin to if you'd hear the ost slowed down to show a flashback

ooooo ambient, i never listen to those but ill give it a go

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21IqxnqbkgemjZqMdd3Fci?si=5ca6ea574f5d4a45

[hollow portal]

he made Goodbye to a world, ive listened to that i love it

[primal coral]

Number 10 on last pic would be fun as a light AT weapon

Also 50 beowulf would be fun as a high recoil high damage medium velocity weapon

[rain delta]

@runic grove

[ember pewter]

Well, got another 50 hour work week in my belt. I should be ready for tommorow.

[azure sky]

its a 24mm bullet fired from a 70mm cartridge so probably similar to a 20mm, probably less penetration from the lower velocity

minus the advantage of 20mm being shells with/or without payloads, while JDJ is a solid bullet

[viral sparrow]

tell me whats wrong with this...

[compact kernel]

just needs a little more thermal paste

[velvet pumice]

Nothing it just need a new backplate

[compact kernel]

always keep your setup clean by washing it with soap and dry it with ironing

or just bury it in rice

i'm just giving linus top tips

lagging? use flex tape to fix the internet

speaking of broken, my mmb is actually broken :c

oh wait you right

i should just bury it in rice

@untold ether 5head guy

what's your sens though? what dpi you use?

same, default sens since i'm too lazy 😄
but for dpi, i think i'm double yours

yeah, one stroke and you're already spinning dozens of times 😄

i guess for me is because i used to not have a good mousepad, literally was using a sheet of paper and that was it before i bought an office mousepad

and since sometimes it didn't respond well, i guess i had to compensate it with higher dpi so it'll be more sensitive and can detect movements easier

and from there, it just stuck with me

@untold ether have you ever played the goty edition of ut99? that was basically most of my childhood other than cs 1.6

you should try it, it's amazing

imo the best game of the series

PepeHands

but you probably already played ctf face yes?

yeah, the one with two towers on a rock

orbiting the earth and most of the time it's just sniper battles

yup that one

i still remember this map fondly

i spawn additional 16 bots so it'll be 16v16

and basically try to take the flag while they're chasing me

or just play like ctf lava giant and spawn hundreds of bots so it'll look like a bloody assault when i ordered all of them to storm the enemy base 😄

@viral sparrow Like basically idunno whatever steam profile page now causes lag on chrome. Idk why

I mean nowdays a average web app is bigger than a copy of doom

[viral sparrow]

yeah i noticed that too

wonder what they screwed up this time

but my profile is a bit uh stressful on some computers (so ive been told)

weak

[lethal hamlet]

None.

Describes your profile very well

[viral sparrow]

mine should be public but everything else hidden (unless i forgot to fix my privacy settings when i played the cycle which had a bug if your account was private)

[lethal hamlet]

Like your old pfp ngl

[viral sparrow]

i got my 40 level by spending 10$ on games 🗿

[lethal hamlet]

I'm way to lazy to grind for levels

[cyan parcel]

back in 2019 steam summer 😂

[viral sparrow]

i have that added just to usually get bots to screw off
used to get spammed daily when i played CSGO back in 2015-17

[cyan parcel]

2019 summer sale was a chaos cus of the exp badge thingy

[viral sparrow]

i just use steampoints to get my levels usually

some badges ill look into if i like them like my valhalla one

[lethal hamlet]

holy

[viral sparrow]

shh you dont have like 6k games in your steam account now do ya

half i dont even know what the title even says xD

[cyan parcel]

not if they got it via the 2019 summer sale

[lethal hamlet]

did he?

[viral sparrow]

eh its like a paid myspace in my eyes
with alot less customization xD
not good xD

[cyan parcel]

he have a fetish for thinkpads

and i love thinkpads to

[lethal hamlet]

I do know some people who like thinkpads

and they made mods to upgrade the hardware inside thinkpads

that said, I'm here enjoying my macbook

[viral sparrow]

theyre amazing since you can upgrade tf outta them
specially the socketed CPU ones from mid 2000s

[cyan parcel]

some of the thinkpads lately actually still have the same models as the old one 😂

[lethal hamlet]

my money already spent on my bicycle 😛

[cyan parcel]

i want to buy an t440p

[viral sparrow]

im saving my money up to buy a flipperzero once theyre in stock

or a thinkpad t420 xD

[cyan parcel]

flipper is like 100$?

[viral sparrow]

CAD is like 220

[cyan parcel]

oh

how much cad per usd

[viral sparrow]

yeah
when they last restocked it was around the mid of the month

either buy good or fast food for the month or a flipper
i choose food since i need to be healthy

plus i already bought the PS4 a week before

[cyan parcel]

why did you buy an ps4

[viral sparrow]

i need to start spending my money at the end of the month not the start xD

[cyan parcel]

i still wonder to this day what is play jobs

[viral sparrow]

to mod it
possibly use it as a PLEX server later on
but for now uhh sailing the seas to say the least

[viral sparrow]

uh

herbs
and computers xD

[lethal hamlet]

Man the new anime lycoriss recoil is BS.

[lethal hamlet]

and the girl literally has anti-aim irl

[cyan parcel]

girl got them cheats online

silent killings 😱

[lethal hamlet]

I know, but the representation is wayy too extragrated when comparing to irl

That's why I don't watch anime

Yeah

[compact kernel]

any of you guys played hell let loose? is it worth the money especially if you're from asia?

[lethal hamlet]

It does, and it's worth the money if you got a friend playing with you

[compact kernel]

well i don't have a friend that plays hll

[lethal hamlet]

Game is fun, but it's very tiring after a round

[compact kernel]

but i think i'll join the australian server since i see most of the asian server are either empty or chinese based and i don't speak chinese

[lethal hamlet]

grab one for your friend.

join a sniper team and it's the best thing you could have

[compact kernel]

well yeah it's really long 😅

[compact kernel]

i only have enough for hll in my steam wallet :c

@lethal hamlet where do you play mostly

[lethal hamlet]

HK/CN/SG servers in order, mostly because of ping

[viral sparrow]

if ya ever see him
dont forget to give him a friendly tbag xD

[compact kernel]

idk if i should buy it :c

[lethal hamlet]

Personally I don't recommend if you are looking for a causal shooting experience

Tho if you enjoy the tactical and communcation, it's worth the money, tho I'd rather play squad cuz I'm a mondern warfare guy

[compact kernel]

i just need a game that i can talk with

bbr is killing me 😅

[lethal hamlet]

Why not grab gmod/GTA and join RP servers if that's the case?

[compact kernel]

i'm more of a fps guy

[lethal hamlet]

Ah i see

[compact kernel]

i don't mind those but i prefer fps nowadays

@lethal hamlet ping from here to aus is around 100+ right?

[lethal hamlet]

200+ from my routing

tho mine is different from yours, as I am in Hong Kong

[compact kernel]

aaa idk if i should buy it

[lethal hamlet]

It's your money, your call

[compact kernel]

@lethal hamlet i just reinstalled mw4 cod4x, literally dead :c

[lethal hamlet]

I dont like old CODs

The gunplay is terrible

Can't go back after MW2019

[compact kernel]

well yeah but you can't blame them

[lethal hamlet]

Tho ther stories are decent

[compact kernel]

haha you got spoiled hard

[lethal hamlet]

I'm a bit disappointed playing the MW2019 campaign

[compact kernel]

i used to play a lot of cod4 modded mp back in early 2010s

back then the servers were more abundant and plenty of people still play of course

i guess people slowly leaving it for good ;.;

bbr is probably the fps game i've been searching for

[viral sparrow]

everyones probably on H1Mod
thats for cod4 remastered tho

few lobbies when i played 2 days ago

[compact kernel]

i have the mwr

but it's about the server size

idk what activision has been thinking to reduce it to 18 since mw2

[viral sparrow]

im the opposite
i hate the newer cod gameplay/gunplay
preferred the old way specially since the game was more casual back then
now it feels like theres no alive casual shooters
besides BBR lol

[compact kernel]

literally what made pre mw2 cod really fun was the huge server size for dedicated ones

[viral sparrow]

oh i remember those very faintly

[compact kernel]

playing free for all on shipment just people wallbanging others with lmg + deep impact

[lethal hamlet]

I do agree old CODs are more casual

[compact kernel]

the thing that makes newer cods less enjoyable for me is the forced sbmm

[lethal hamlet]

Most of my COD rounds are either me forced to trying hard, or others trying hard against on me thanks to SBMM

[compact kernel]

there's no option to go casual or ranked, just unified

[viral sparrow]

played more on console for COD instead of PC

recently going back to the COD's on PC for modding support xD

[lethal hamlet]

The worst round i've met is a group of players using the most campiest setup on shoot house

[kindred ibex]

Hi

[lethal hamlet]

auto shoties, sheild, and work as a team

man I doubt even could exoghost could defeat them

[viral sparrow]

yep thats what killed COD/shooters for me was SBMM

i dont always like to try
if i do usually ill do some gamebattles or a ranked gamemode
but usually ill hop on for a hour or 2 chill out and be done

i did love the feeling of ghosts for competitive play tho

[weak sleet]

cancer in human form

[compact kernel]

yeah, forced sbmm really sucked the life out of them

[viral sparrow]

ah youd hate me on BO2 xD

[lethal hamlet]

funniest thing is no one uses underbarrel gernade launchers

[weak sleet]

we talking mw2?

[compact kernel]

mw2 noob tube oh no

[viral sparrow]

riot shield in a 1 door room
shotgun or target finder LMG
maybe a window to peak out
sentry gun and guardian watching the door and out the window
i was cancer when need be

[compact kernel]

one man army + danger close

[viral sparrow]

i still use that today xD

[lethal hamlet]

as it turns out, no one bothers to use it

[lethal hamlet]

ah yes

my fav

[weak sleet]

one man army, underbarrel grenade launcher, danger close

[viral sparrow]

i remember
i was laughing

same thing is happening now but not as much as MW19

[weak sleet]

you still play those today??

[viral sparrow]

remember when MW19 came out and there was a shotgun that people were calling more OP than the 1887's

[lethal hamlet]

But instead, 725 + riot sheild dominates the game in the first week

[compact kernel]

the 725

[lethal hamlet]

^

[viral sparrow]

i play alot of older games

[viral sparrow]

yep thats it xD

[compact kernel]

never forget brecci

[weak sleet]

what games

[lethal hamlet]

we don't talk about those painful memories at here.

[weak sleet]

i still play cod4 until like 2018

there was this server that gives you like 100x xp boost lol

[viral sparrow]

all of the old cod's
socom on the PS2
midnight club 2,3
trackmania 2003 and sunrise extreme (they finally work on windows 10!!!!!!
lost planet 2
flatout
need for speed most wanted (2005)

[compact kernel]

when you realize 2000 is further to us than to 2030 ;.;

[weak sleet]

same thing with World At War

[viral sparrow]

just to sum it up

and i run all these on a fucking 3900x and 3080 xD

[weak sleet]

any setbacks? since yknow old games tends to not run on newer hardware

[weak sleet]

Cool
i used to play alot of Flatout lol, i think it was the second one

[compact kernel]

probably only need to set it to compatibility mode hopefully

[weak sleet]

funny thing happened to me like when I was 10, I mistook Fallout 3 for Flatout 3 lmao

[compact kernel]

😅

[viral sparrow]

some games
like trackmania they used starforce drivers which can screw your entire windows install
but that recently got patched
nadeo uploaded the files themselves on archive.org

lost planet 2 i need to disable half of my cores i drop mine down to 6 cores 12 threads instead of 12 cores 24 threads

some older games dont support 8 or more cores and youll need to disable them via BIOS or ryzen master

one game im having issues installing both on win10 and windows XP is skateboard park tycoon 2004

demoshield 7.0 pop up then disappears
tho i havent had the time to fully look into it
plus i want my XP machine here first before i mess with it

and that game works on win98 to XP

[compact kernel]

at least it's good to know my favorite samp server is still going well even to this day

[weak sleet]

only to xp?

[viral sparrow]

well thats what the manual says xD

[weak sleet]

how old was it?

[viral sparrow]

2003-2004

[compact kernel]

@viral sparrow true, some games just can't run on newer hardware so you have to 'downgrade' your rig :c

[weak sleet]

indeed

ok my gmod crashed

[viral sparrow]

yep
even tried them on virtual machines with no success

hence why im getting a thinkpad t61 with windows XP sp3
gunna upgrade to unofficial SP4

[weak sleet]

be right back

[viral sparrow]

and also
i love thinkpads

[compact kernel]

😅

[viral sparrow]

sexy trackpoint

the sexy thinkpad nipple

[weak sleet]

damn, old games i played have easier workarounds

[viral sparrow]

i play alot of games from my childhood and ones that interest me

[weak sleet]

like TES2 Daggerfall, someone made a mod for it, so it would run on Unity

[compact kernel]

gta sa won't even let you play the same save file if you're running it on different compatibility

[weak sleet]

Never play on the Steam version, that's rule #1

[viral sparrow]

all depends on the game
id suggest looking into starforce DRM
once of the worst DRM's to ever exist

it would break your windows usually xD

and anything past i think vista 100% would break it

[weak sleet]

idk if I'm allowed to say this but Far Cry 2 is drm free somehow

[viral sparrow]

alot of older games are

or if you buy them from GOG

[weak sleet]

nono, the steam version

[compact kernel]

never did, steam ver is worse, lots of soundtracks removed due to license

[weak sleet]

how do i describe it

[weak sleet]

oh it's like you paying patreon for Battlebit, and then canceling it out after you got the patreon stuff

[viral sparrow]

i know
just saying that GOG has DRM free versions of some games VS steam

but all depends on the game being sold

ik steam does have DRM free games but very few vs GOG

[weak sleet]

ahhh

[viral sparrow]

wait

[weak sleet]

speaking of old games, i just finished half-life and the expansions

[viral sparrow]

does MP still work on it!?!?!?

if so i want to doink some people with the tranq rifle xD

[weak sleet]

rn i'm playing half-life 2

[weak sleet]

nahh, tried getting onto MP, not getting anything

[viral sparrow]

great game
im waiting for a decent HLVR port of all of them
i know theres some but its not what im looking for

[weak sleet]

idk about Far Cry 2 servers, but Call of Duty 2 still have some servers up XD

I played it after like 4 hours of WZ, and it's clunky asf

[weak sleet]

i'm playing it by mounting it to gmod

[compact kernel]

yup cod2 is still alive

[weak sleet]

I was shocked when I saw asia servers are still up

[viral sparrow]

yeah thats the way people do it with VR for HL2
too much work for me imo lol

[weak sleet]

yall wanna see some of the cursed guns i made in gmod?

[viral sparrow]

oh no

[compact kernel]

oh yesn't

[viral sparrow]

uh

i cry

[compact kernel]

[compact kernel]

you published those to your workshop? @weak sleet

[weak sleet]

Nah, those are just me messing around with ArcCW

[compact kernel]

oh i thought you made them and published it

[potent sundial]

thinkpad clitoris

[compact kernel]

wait what

[viral sparrow]

was it LTT who made a video on that recently or another youtuber?

[compact kernel]

so you are saying if we want to be more efficient and have more performance, we have to abandon x86 architecture?

well i guess there has to be some explanation as to why we're still using it

[viral sparrow]

i mean
boeing planes supposedly still use floppy diskettes

[compact kernel]

oh yeah, Japan still uses fax machines

they literally still used pagers until recent years

[compact kernel]

it does make sense yeah

@untold ether i guess they're following the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

i guess transitioning would take a while

augh

[deep ibex]

try mechwarrior

2 3 and 4 and all of their "expansions"

i also used to and still rarely play old games

[compact kernel]

anyone here played old age of empires and stronghold?

[deep ibex]

ya stronghold crusaders

the one set in the desert with the oasis n all

2 i think

actually nah not 2

ya og crusader
never tried age of empires

atleast the og ones i did try remastered 2 for a little before losing interest because yea

[compact kernel]

best game in the series for me

[deep ibex]

imo the best os to use with older games is 7

[compact kernel]

timeless os

[deep ibex]

eh

[compact kernel]

i literally complained when i had to use win10

[deep ibex]

i like 10 (when its modified)

[compact kernel]

idk, there's just something calm and relaxing about older windows os, especially vista and 7

[deep ibex]

do not commit the grave mistake of using og win10 🗿

[compact kernel]

the starting up sound before going to main screen is just nostalgic

[deep ibex]

which has currently bitten me in the ass

[compact kernel]

yeah people say xp has the most memorable screen, which it does

kid me used to stare at it for a long time, wondering if i'd be able to jump in and explore that green plains 😅

looked so relaxing and so free

i mean, if you had hp laptop, especially with vista or 7, you'd probably had played a lot of wild tangent games

those one time f2p games that use wild tangent coins to play, but if you exit the game and want to play it again you had to buy the game

so kid me basically had to stay up all night and keeping the game open to prevent it from becoming unplayable

[grand plinth]

@opaque ingot

[cunning dagger]

verify and installs updates that your steam didn't aware

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-general-kenobi-star-wars-grevious-gif-17774326

[shrewd olive]

how do i fix this

[viral sparrow]

you gotta use an older steam account as said in the text
if your account is under 1yr old or made sometime before 2022 you cant play
(its a way to prevent cheaters from making new accounts after they get banned)
that requirement wont be needed once the game enters early access
tho when the game enters early access you will need to pay tho

[shrewd olive]

ohh

[viral sparrow]

not sure if oki can whitelist
ill send out a DM to him just to double check tho

[compact kernel]

in other words, big PepeHands for you

[regal locust]

they have been working on this since 2016 that it makes sense its paid

[shrewd olive]

pls I'll appreciate it

[cunning dagger]

we can't do anything

[regal locust]

kinds sad for f2p like me tho

[shrewd olive]

pls I'll appreciate it

[viral sparrow]

know if oki can before i hit send on the DM?

just more of a general question im trying to figure out lol

[cunning dagger]

I KNOW WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

[viral sparrow]

ok when you said we i was assuming you meant like the staff
not oki

[cunning dagger]

I meant oki as well

[shrewd olive]

i had a acc more than 2 years but that was hacked so its my new gmail

[viral sparrow]

ahh
well saves me from sending a DM and bothering him xD

[cunning dagger]

and beside oki is a staff as well

[viral sparrow]

oh i know
just wondered if he had more privilege's than others on that end of things

[woeful mauve]

Yo

[viral sparrow]

hello!

[woeful mauve]

Hru

[viral sparrow]

decent
just waiting on a few things to ship currently
once those get here ill be pretty happy xD

[woeful mauve]

nc

i just did a quick run through of the training groud

ground

im either blind or stuipd but is there no place to blow stuff up?

[viral sparrow]

not that i know of
and alot of the stuff in the shooting range wont work (C4 Recon drone etc) since those are based on the server

[compact kernel]

yeah all buildings in training are indestructible

and those things won't work as well

[viral sparrow]

correction
shoot the turbine with an RPG a few times

[woeful mauve]

Kewl

[viral sparrow]

thats the only thing destructible that i recall in the training ground

[woeful mauve]

Oh yeah the railing to in the towers

I can't find smgs rpgs

And that does it depend on class

[viral sparrow]

yes it does
for that youll need engineer

[woeful mauve]

K

Which rpg hmm

[viral sparrow]

tandem is good vs tanks but low range
heat is decent middle
dont use frag just dont

[woeful mauve]

Why

[viral sparrow]

frag is meant for infantry but it got patched to the ground

[woeful mauve]

So mega nerf

[viral sparrow]

used to get 20 man kills on namak with it
now it can maybe kill 1 with a direct hit

yeah
tho neeeded

[woeful mauve]

R.i.p

[opal aspen]

will be this game for free ?

[woeful mauve]

@opal aspen 15 quid on early access

Which is sad I wanted a low spec battlefield to be free but no at least the play test are free

[compact kernel]

15$ if you buy it during early access, 10$ if you pledge on patreon right now at minimum of 1 month

[woeful mauve]

:(

Sad 😔

[compact kernel]

don't worry, your 15$ will be worth it

[viral sparrow]

dont forget
steam will have regional pricing
whereas patreon does not

[compact kernel]

pay oki in csgo skins

[viral sparrow]

oh god

[woeful mauve]

I could

[viral sparrow]

i think i still have my one fav skins from CSGO before i quit
only reason i kept the skin is the memories xD

[woeful mauve]

I think I have enough garbage skins to pay for it

I also have cases XD

[viral sparrow]

aw yeah
still got my FT frontside misty with drug war stickers xD

[woeful mauve]

1 euro to 37 cents a pop

[viral sparrow]

18$CAD

[woeful mauve]

I mean greys

Like 37. 10 cent greys

[viral sparrow]

haha
this is the only skin i kept when i quit CSGO

[compact kernel]

ah yes the sand dune joke

[woeful mauve]

I do have one pretty sufd

Idk if I can trade

I haven't spent a single penny on steam haha 😂

Imagine this game gets priated day one

[compact kernel]

[woeful mauve]

It prolly will

Like every New game ik of got priated day one

[compact kernel]

probably won't be able to connect to the servers

[woeful mauve]

Some have steam fixes so you can play mp

[viral sparrow]

if it get cracked you wont be able to connect online
unless crackers remake the master server and game server on their own
which they need the server files to do so

game doesnt ship with those files anymore sadly

[compact kernel]

@viral sparrow i'll just pirate roblox then

[woeful mauve]

@viral sparrow the piracy community are nuts

So they actually might pull it off

[viral sparrow]

oh they might
but itd be a pain since they game gets updated pretty often (in current state)
and theyd also need to find server files etc
and those dont ship with the game anymore so itll take em awhile to get it working

[woeful mauve]

Pirates can do anything

They can prolly make their own

[viral sparrow]

i mean
theres reasons mw19 doesnt work online for example

[woeful mauve]

True

Mw19 either way hasn't been pirated

[viral sparrow]

if you pirate it
alot use cracked servers
some games very few will actually allow players to play with pirates etc
but i found those were mostly VR titles on the Q2 that are able to do that

[woeful mauve]

If you want max players make it free haha Xd

[viral sparrow]

contractors for example
you can play it pirated with normal people

free wont always do that

[woeful mauve]

Cod 1 - infknte warfare

[woeful mauve]

-low spec and free battlefield haha

[viral sparrow]

might be a worse case since cheaters can just make a new account like on fortnite apex or any F2P game

[woeful mauve]

And better than 2042

[woeful mauve]

Ip ban oh shi vpn

[viral sparrow]

atleast with a cheap price like 15$
and regional pricing
it pushes cheaters away

[woeful mauve]

Csgo hehe

[viral sparrow]

IP ban wont work
even HWID doesnt work since some people use spoofers
cheating and pirate scene is too big xD

theyll always be a step ahead of DRM or game companies sadly

[woeful mauve]

Then. Pirates would make a version

[viral sparrow]

btw fuck DRM
specially starforce DRM

[woeful mauve]

GFWL is worse

[viral sparrow]

not even

i still use GFWL today with lost planet 2 and flatout UC
works fully online

[woeful mauve]

Yeah but it's way to hard to remove

[viral sparrow]

starforce would legit corrupt your windows install on modern windows

[dense marten]

IP ban? Ban the entire internet cafe

[woeful mauve]

I use it with gears of war 1 @viral sparrow

[viral sparrow]

youd need to reinstall windows

[woeful mauve]

So below win 10

[viral sparrow]

nope i think it started with vista or 7

[woeful mauve]

Xp

[viral sparrow]

id say thats when it was supported
seeing trackmania 2003 was a game using starforce

[woeful mauve]

Vista

[compact kernel]

dude vista

[woeful mauve]

Vista was around 2000-2004

[compact kernel]

i started on win xp but vista was something else

[woeful mauve]

Longhorn haha

[viral sparrow]

vista was 06-07

[compact kernel]

i still remember the first time i got a laptop with win vista, and it was a hp laptop so it came with wild tangent

[woeful mauve]

Rip

[viral sparrow]

XP was before that
which i actually still use on my thinkpad T61

XP with SP3 installed

[woeful mauve]

POG

Tbh doesn't compatibility work thing

[compact kernel]

i still remember playing those games on wild tangent, free to play but only one time, if you close it and wanna play it again you gotta buy the coins

[viral sparrow]

not always

[woeful mauve]

Oof

[compact kernel]

so kid me had a 5head strat by simply not closing the game

[viral sparrow]

starforce NOPE

[woeful mauve]

Oh yeah have you heard the new roblox death sound

[viral sparrow]

oh god

[woeful mauve]

How'd you get to work?

[viral sparrow]

i bought the XP machine xD

[woeful mauve]

Dang

[viral sparrow]

or crack the game

[compact kernel]

so weird

[woeful mauve]

But the new roblox death sound doe

[compact kernel]

roblox without oof is like minecraft without steve ooh

[viral sparrow]

but if you still own CD's
getting an old machine is worth it in my eyes

[woeful mauve]

I had a pc with a CD drive

And it should have WIN7

[viral sparrow]

Windows 98/2000/ME/XP

[woeful mauve]

But has WIN10

[viral sparrow]

thats for trackmania starforce DRM

[woeful mauve]

Buy win 97

[compact kernel]

stronghold crusader? age of empires? zoo tycoon?

[woeful mauve]

AoE is better

[viral sparrow]

oh i plan on getting another thinkpad
prolly
t20
240x
A30
or R40

the good old IBM branded ones

[woeful mauve]

A30

[compact kernel]

virtua cop 2

[viral sparrow]

what i was thinking too
or maybe even a t43p since that was the last true IBM thinkpad

[woeful mauve]

Gears 1

[viral sparrow]

tho more recent
2005

[compact kernel]

where had the time gone

cs 1.6 until i fell asleep

[woeful mauve]

Yeah

Cs 1.6
Gears 1

Way more as well

[compact kernel]

gta sa as well

[woeful mauve]

Vice city

SAMP

[compact kernel]

samp

1000 players in one server

[woeful mauve]

There's 250 bowadays

[viral sparrow]

socom 2 on the PS2
sadly not PC game (well is now via emulation)
one of the best competitive games of all time that MADE MLG/gamebattles

[compact kernel]

yeah you can't blame them, it's a mod that's been running for like 15+ years i think as of now

[woeful mauve]

Yh

[compact kernel]

but some of the popular servers are still getting 300+ players on average, like uif

[woeful mauve]

Yh

[viral sparrow]

wait really for SAMP?

[woeful mauve]

You can actually use pirated versions

[compact kernel]

or some russian rp servers as well, but they mostly restrict players from ru only

[woeful mauve]

Which I have XD

[viral sparrow]

shh
i totally didnt do that when i was younger

[compact kernel]

yeah, don't use steam ver tho

[woeful mauve]

Pirated version is better

[viral sparrow]

i now own the game via rockstar launcher for free tho
(legacy version)

[woeful mauve]

Oh then you can use SAMP

[viral sparrow]

ive heard
doesnt have the shitty steam updates like steam one
which if you used steam you needed to downgrade and run around

[compact kernel]

pirated version of gta sa is still the best imo, you just need to apply silent patch and gta sa 1.0 exe

[woeful mauve]

Hmh

[woeful mauve]

I use boxed plus I have 1.0 alr

Didn't downgrade

[compact kernel]

i used to play it a lot back in 2014-2015 iirc

[woeful mauve]

It's fun

[compact kernel]

late night samp until 3-4 am

[woeful mauve]

On UIF I just fly around on a dirt bike XD

[compact kernel]

haha yeah surfly hack is allowed but only in freeroam

[woeful mauve]

Crashed it many times and made it to the border hrhr

Some other Rp servers are nc

You can sell drugs work out get a job

[compact kernel]

rp servers, war servers, cnr servers

[woeful mauve]

Yhg

Who played Brutal Doom 2

[compact kernel]

but for me, uif is still no1, vip events like sawn off tournament, party, private world convoy that can turn into chaos once someone is ramming ppl, meet n greet, new year event, and so much more

[woeful mauve]

Agreed

Still very fun with protect the president and Fall

And race

[compact kernel]

don't forget global war where everyone, in group or not can join, and you can farm those who just uses m4 and ak

[woeful mauve]

Haaa

[compact kernel]

i still remember top groups used to have helpers from other groups as well

alliances, etc

[woeful mauve]

Remember HL

[compact kernel]

or when the money system was introduced

[woeful mauve]

Remember TFC. Quake HL

[compact kernel]

i don't sadly

i mostly play ut99 goty

[woeful mauve]

TFC still gets played

[compact kernel]

it's amazing how games made with love and passion can survive, as opposed to simple cash grabs

[woeful mauve]

2042

[compact kernel]

20+ year old game still alive

[woeful mauve]

Yh

BF 1942
BFBC2
BF 1 and 2

Have been revised with custom servers

Well BF 1 2 1942

Pretty sure

[compact kernel]

yup, now we gonna have realism mod for bf3

[woeful mauve]

Hmh

We gave perfect mkd for DOOM3

Brutal doom

1 and 2 and UD

[loud tide]

what is the point of this?

[woeful mauve]

Mount

And lean

[azure sky]

Then why'd you ask, dummy

[rain delta]

Another cool idea: option to mount other player and ride him to battle in BBR. How about that gamemode if we already invented cat escorting?

[azure sky]

Broke bih says what

Didn't ask tbh

[azure sky]

Still talking, crazy

[viral sparrow]

But the 1tb is a wish card that backdoors your PC

[opaque ingot]

Yes

[compact kernel]

we gonna do massive jousting match?

[wicked coral]

The real question is are we gonna let it stack indefinitely or not

Giant towers of men slowly approaching over the horizon like a massive moving fortress

[weak sleet]

They blocked Steam, EGS, Origin, and Battlenet in Indonesia

I can still update my games on steam, but I still have to use VPNs to purchase stuff

[runic grove]

Can't do anything right now

[cyan parcel]

me when i use vpn 24/7 🗿 ok

[viral sparrow]

whats the reason behind it?

[weak sleet]

something along the lines about privacy

[viral sparrow]

xD

i mean steam and any launcher is spyware deep down

depends on how you look at the data they take from you

[cyan parcel]

what do you know you could bypass the block by using 1.1.1.1

[viral sparrow]

wow
just wow

I'm getting DOOM3BFG so I can play it with perfect mod

[fierce quartz]

what is that list about?

[sacred tulip]

i absolutely hated that romania was known to other countries as the dracula country but i want that back because its now only known because of that annoyin Andrew Tate dude that has fans that say "what color is your buggati 🤓"

[waxen iris]

thank you @open wave cant type in there for another min

[midnight lynx]

@woeful rampart

i know romania as the thieves paradise am i wrong

[woeful rampart]

Nah, you're right, but unfortunately the politicians have the highest stealing skills

[midnight lynx]

same hre, i feel u

[woeful rampart]

What was wrong with being known as the dracula country? Atleast that way tourists would actually get attracted in coming

[sacred tulip]

theif paradise x3

[midnight lynx]

romania is known as dracula country because ball sucks too hard

[woeful rampart]

Though if anyone plans to go to Romania, do not go to Constanta, i repeat, DO NOT go to Constanta

[sacred tulip]

YES

[woeful rampart]

You will be ripped off

[sacred tulip]

listen to him, the locals will take every penny you have, they know whos a tourist and whos not

[woeful rampart]

Water costs like 30 lei there, where normally it is like 2 lei

[sacred tulip]

also the corn sellers on the beach

[woeful rampart]

Those cunts even rip off locals

[sacred tulip]

also also also, if someone bumps into you and says that you broke their glasses or something, and they ask to pay them back. dont. they are like 10 lei fake glasses (2.3 dollars basically)

[woeful rampart]

Also also also also, look out where you park your car, you might wake up with no wheels or a broken window

[sacred tulip]

and if you are on a train and someone is like selling random shit, dont buy that either, its overpriced junk they get from the trash at dumps

[sacred tulip]

depends where you live, i pretty much live in a gated community where everyone knows eachother so that almost never happens

[woeful rampart]

Romania survival guides with @woeful rampart and @sacred tulip

[sacred tulip]

and i somehow learned english accidently by watching youtube

and can speak it almost fluently

[woeful rampart]

Same

And also video games

[sacred tulip]

true true, but more youtube and just like general media

[midnight lynx]

why

[woeful rampart]

As romanian translations in games are very rare, so you actually just need to learn english

[midnight lynx]

then i'll go to constanta and scamm the vendors

[sacred tulip]

read what we said

[sacred tulip]

been there done that

[woeful rampart]

[midnight lynx]

project zomboid vibes

[sacred tulip]

true tho, burglar job thhing i forgot what it was called

[woeful rampart]

Yeah, they are leveling up their mechanics skills

[midnight lynx]

XD

innate thief perk, they can hotwire cars as soon as they are born

[woeful rampart]

Pretty much

[sacred tulip]

romanian people are a whole new breed of people

[midnight lynx]

#🇷🇴

[woeful rampart]

Can confirm

[sacred tulip]

also the like (urzica) sellers i forgot what it was called in english

[midnight lynx]

fuck those sellers right

[woeful rampart]

Forgot aswell

[sacred tulip]

that plant the has little spikes one it that stings like hell

when i was like 6 i fell into a bush of those with my bike

[woeful rampart]

Microscopic spikes*

[sacred tulip]

my god that was awful

i can do vietnam tactics

[woeful rampart]

I didn't fell into a bush of those, but i did manage to be a dumbass and use short pants in the mountains, so you can imagine what happened

[woeful rampart]

Yep that, if you touch once, prepare to feel pain for a few days in that area

[midnight lynx]

Ortigas, in spanish

[sacred tulip]

rules of living in romania:

1. dont talk to strangers that fit the homeless steryotype
2. dont buy stuff from vendors
3. dont go outside at night as a girl

[midnight lynx]

F

[sacred tulip]

im not a girl but there are so many pedo's/perverts in romania its almost impossible to go out without creeps following you

[woeful rampart]

That last part is kinda in the whole world unfortunately : (

Learn hex bro 🙏

[tacit mantle]

Crap I have this channel muted

[torpid moat]

I Think there's a whole other argument there about defining yourself by other's standards

[tacit mantle]

Commit ego death, gn

[torpid moat]

Would you say that on average competitiveness is more driven by a desire to stand out, or a desire for victory/dominance

[golden cipher]

first comes desire

[tacit mantle]

It is a little hard. The best advice I can give is Einzelganger's channel and being aware of when you're saying something only to show off

Buddhism helped me a little bit, not actually believing in it but the concept, but I'd rather not go into religion in #off-topic

[torpid moat]

i've personally on a conceptional level kind of given up on standing out and have focused more on moment to moment victory

[golden cipher]

now thinking aren't both the same

[tacit mantle]

It's also worth remembering that there's a difference between showing off for ego and showing off because it will put you in a better place

[torpid moat]

no (to snowy)

[golden cipher]

without dominance you won't stand out

at least inf fps games if you want to stand out you have to dominate

and here comes consistency

[tacit mantle]

Moment to moment victory? Describe it.

[golden cipher]

if you can dominate and be consistent you won't be unknown

ye that's true

basically what smurfing is

[torpid moat]

focusing on the task in front of you instead of some loftier goal

[golden cipher]

ye I mixed those 2 in begging

i dont really think you would stand out tho

[tacit mantle]

Why do that?

That's what I define as competitiveness

"being" vs "doing"

Lots of people want to "be" someone when they grow up for example

I think that's a bad way of looking at it

I want to look back on my life knowing I "did" something

Not that I "was" something

King Nothing

I care for my non-objective future

[hearty fjord]

yall are so sus

[tacit mantle]

Being a content creator is insanely hard

Especially to maintain integrity

That's good

[golden cipher]

lot's of people want to stand out nowdays

[tacit mantle]

There's a fun exercise I do with myself. Instead of thinking of the things I'm not, I think of the things the world isn't. Start there. What, in this world, is there not? How can you help fill that in a positive way? What is the best way to make the world a better place?

Also, this is poorly worded. I can't really describe this very well.

Actually lots of streamers pull insane amounts of work hours so idk

[golden cipher]

well I meant it just in general.

really depends on person tho. It's like saying if you want get on a stage in front of 5k people

[torpid moat]

honestly fatalism

[golden cipher]

ye my brain is fucking delayed rn

[tacit mantle]

I'm a fatalist, but I don't think things are magically determined

[golden cipher]

I actually hate that term. Money doesn't make you happy

[tacit mantle]

Yes it very much doesssssss

[golden cipher]

in my opinion it's total bs

[tacit mantle]

Rich people are so fucking happy

[torpid moat]

i may be using the wrong word one sec yup my bad

[tacit mantle]

Nihilism?

HAh

[torpid moat]

moreso a general sense of defeat and low expectation for distinction from a group (see, depression+)
