i out myself

😄

[prisma dove]

yeah, too many for me.

[sudden adder]

i also like replacing my mice every so often due to the plastic and rubber surfaces on them getting all weird, and of course all of the gunk that gets up in the angular designs on modern gaming mice

[prisma dove]

I get about 3-4 years on mine. I keep the surfaces clean, but being a multibutton mmo mouse, that's a lot of button crevices to clean. And in-game, left+right mouse button hold moves me forward, so usually one of those contacts wear out.

[tall vapor]

ooohhhh they STILL use the old omron switches that like need a specific amount of wetting current that modern low power mice simply don't provide?

[sudden adder]

been getting a lot of shorts on YT dealing with 3D printed mice, i need to look into them more

[tawdry orbit]

Huh interesting going on like ~7 years with my current g502

[livid plover]

i had about 6-9 months on my old... hyperX? before the left switch wore out. happend 3 times in a row

[civic quarry]

my first g502 lightspeed broke after 2 years, left click was messed up and ghost clicking but logitech sent me a new one for free. now I am 2.5 years into that one and have no issues so far.

[sudden adder]

feels like mouse lottery, as my g502 that had the left click (and ghost clicks as well), was sent to me directly from Logitech for a promo when it was first being released

[livid plover]

i bought one of the razer's with the new "optical" switches in the hopes those last longer

[sudden adder]

i miss my Roccat Kova. the cable went bad where it attached to the mouse directly, and it died well after they stopped making them, so a replacement costs way more than I am willing to invest in a mouse

[terse helm]

Snip snip and a soldering iron

[prisma wren]

i am boycott you like amd

bye

[uneven sluice]

The day my g700s dies, I'm going to hold a funeral

I love that mouse like it's my own child

Why does no one make a 4 thumb button mouse anymore? It's either two or, like, 20 buttons

[livid plover]

Someone probably does, there's so many damn mouse manufacturers out there nowadays

I love my rural HOA, hahah

[sudden adder]

so... whats her name? lol

[livid plover]

yeah like, there's some important details there left out

[opaque halo]

Seems more like a warning to lock up your college age boys

could have been a shorter message "Ellen's out on the prowl again" 🙂

[sudden adder]

the prowl of Ellen is never ending

[full fern]

ROFL

[opaque halo]

and love that it's just sitting -- and NOT sighting

[sudden adder]

its the local friendly couger

[opaque halo]

"here I am... just sitting here minding my own business drinkin mimosa's in the drive way"

[sudden adder]

"and the f'n HOA sends out memos"

[brazen thunder]

I wonder what response dot would get if she asked if it was one of her neighbors

[opaque halo]

ya'll know they canin't be talkin bout me that way. I'm a propper lady

[brazen thunder]

Also hope you survived the heat ok dot. Bet all those trees helped

[full fern]

Oh, shit, that was me LOL

[full fern]

We did alright. I had a little fan on me most of the time. We have one side of the house in shade from big trees, the other half is not.

How'd you do?

[brazen thunder]

Pretty ok. House got up to 80 before it dropped below that outside, but I'm pretty reliably able to get the whole place to 65-70 overnight, and my room is the intake

[full fern]

Thank goodness for low night temps! I think we might all go a little nuts without it

[brazen thunder]

Yeah the house has been performing great in the heat. Haven't really wanted my mini AC except once or twice for a few hours

[full fern]

I always turn on the bedroom AC before we go to sleep to cool it off, but otherwise it's been fine. We've had some wildfires around the last few days, but the smoke seems better today. You know it's bad when your weather app is like "WARNING: DO NOT START ANY FIRES" haha

[brazen thunder]

Yeah for sure. I have central air, but it's gas, so no central AC until that fails, probably. But I'll take 2 fans cooling everything down, that's pretty impressive

Just the smoke is not a great trade off for my asthma

[full fern]

Nice! Getting a decent crossbreeze helps so much. One side of the house faces a gully down to Hood Canal, so the wind often picks up and blows int. We open a window or two opposite thjat and things get better pretty quickly in the evening

Yeah, that smoke sucked. Felt like I had been doing bong rips for a few days without the pleasant effects

[brazen thunder]

We got heat domed before it got over about 70 ppm, at least in the evenings. Idk if I'd call that lucky, but

Ppt? Whichever it is

[full fern]

I'll take it. At least we had a relatively fire-free summer, last couple of years were fucks

[sweet anchor]

[timber relic]

wsup

[opaque halo]

Two letter word meaning above

[glad owl]

???

[silver fable]

Did you read the help topic on the log analyze about Game Mode?

[glad owl]

oh right

sent at a perfect time (12:00 am)

[sweet anchor]

how many hrs delayed is that

[terse helm]

3 and 17 minutes

[misty heron]

is there a specific reason why theirs no vc in this server?

[terse helm]

unnecessary

[misty heron]

I feel like helping people would be a lot easier if you could speak rather than type

[terse helm]

that is incorrect

[misty heron]

if you say so

[terse helm]

it also makes it impossible to intercept wrong advice

[misty heron]

how?

[terse helm]

because everyone would have to be listening in

[sweet anchor]

I go into a voicecall, and I tell you "delete your system32" - and no one knows it because no one can hear it 🙂

[misty heron]

you guys might simply be way to robotic for my liking

[terse helm]

it is what it is

[misty heron]

^^^^^^^^

[sweet anchor]

Well, it's how this discord has decided the best cause of action is.

Gets rid of voice moderation requirements. Makes sure theres multiple eyes on any support happening.

[opaque halo]

most of us use common English and try to keep things simple when explaining issues.

[misty heron]

see that's the best way to explain it

[terse helm]

another problem is that help by voice disappears

and cannot be searched for later if someone else has the same problem

[opaque halo]

If you need help, head on over to one of the support channels 🙂

[misty heron]

instead of righting my question off as it being an insignificant proposal

[terse helm]

no one did that

you asked why there were no VC channels

we gave you the answer

[misty heron]

and you said not necessary

[terse helm]

and they are unnecessary

for the reasons stated

[misty heron]

which is your opinion

I prefer speaking to someone

[terse helm]

ok good for you

[misty heron]

yes

good for me

[left heart]

keep in mind this is all volunteer support. it benefits everyone to see how others help, especially other volunteers

[misty heron]

❤️

[opaque halo]

for sure Y2K - I've learned alot by following along when I see an issue I don't know much about 🙂

[left heart]

and if the volunteer helping you at the moment gets stuck, someone else can pick up where they left off more easily

[misty heron]

because it's one big C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y

[sweet anchor]

There's honestly a plathora of reasons why its better.

I think one of the few downsides, is screensharing is usually easier for less technical minds, than figuring out screenshotting.

But it's not worth the effort.

[left heart]

yeah, not even getting into the headache of navigating a plethora of voice channels or the moderation disasters it could entail

[opaque halo]

Boxes - do you have an issue you need help with?

[misty heron]

I swear screen sharing may possibly be the easiest thing to ever exist

[sweet anchor]

For most people, sharing their screen in Discord is a lot easier than figuring out how to take a screenshot yes.

But it doesn't outweight the negatives 🙂

[misty heron]

no I literally asked why is there no vc and they guy said it was uncessary. I simply stated I would prefer talking to someone rather than texting in chat.

[opaque halo]

Gotcha - we all have our "preferred" ways of getting and providing help with things. Sometimes we have to accept what is offered at the moment 🙂

[misty heron]

which is fine

He made it seem like talking to a person is not necessary in any given situiation

[opaque halo]

I know with my IRL job there are MANY ways we could provide support to our users but due to IT Security restrictions, there are certain established methods we have to use.

[misty heron]

Yea, I just make signs lol

[opaque halo]

Signs are very important for relaying information in a non verbal manner 🙂

[misty heron]

I'm talking more establishment signs

like grocery store signs, amazon signs for example someting you can imagine more clearly

[opaque halo]

They still convey information 🙂

[misty heron]

yes more or less the brand name though

[tall vapor]

things being limited to text only makes sense anyway imho, having support be "in the moment" (which it has to be for vc) when it's all volunteer based is a non starter quite frankly

[misty heron]

I didn't know it was volunteer based support coming into the server

[left heart]

I'm sure you get to deal with all the "fun" printing shenanigans. I'm just trying to navigate the mess of photo print options, it's like chaos

[misty heron]

I got here less than 20 minutes ago

[tall vapor]

wasn't insinuating anythin, just explainin

[misty heron]

no no, I know was just putting that out there

[full fern]

For example, when I am helping someone with an issue, they sometimes reveal more issues and questions. Being able to go back up the chat an re-examine screenshots or logs is really key to my being able to help figure things out. If it was only video screensharing or voice chat, I would have to ask them to share again. I also do not like voice chat at all and would never help if it was the only option

[sweet anchor]

Trains and not running on time, name a more iconic duo.

[opaque halo]

Planes and cancelled flights 🙂

[terse helm]

automobiles and flat tires

[brazen thunder]

bicycles and running red lights

[prisma dove]

phone number and spam calls during election season

[full fern]

And emails! "Can I count on your support this election, Dot?"

[brazen thunder]

"I'm barely making rent, how about you support me"

[full fern]

Aymayon!

[prisma dove]

Contact a Nigerian prince, I'm sure they would love to send some money if you give them your info.

[opaque halo]

hey - $40 million for just $2000 - sounds like a great deal to me

[marsh helm]

Doggy we got from shelter is getting less nervous

[full fern]

Such a cutie with those perked up ears!!

[marsh helm]

he talks with his ears and tial

[carmine ibex]

was wanting an editing program that could crop and speed-up/slow-down
I tried OpenShot.. don't think it can speed-up/slow-down and it said it had a crop function but couldn't figure out how to get it to work..
maybe Davinci Resolve would be better? 🤔

[opaque halo]

Most dogs talk with their bodies - eyes, mouth, ears, tail, posture, etc. Sometimes it's difficult to read and the smallest signals can mean the most. My wife is a dog trainer and behaviorist. She sees these signs second nature now and points them out to me all the time.

[carmine ibex]

just typoed openshot classic

[marsh helm]

for him its pretty easy as the higher his tail is the less nervous he is

also if i talk to him like a baby he does the headtilt huh?

[full fern]

Yes, Davinci can speed up and slow down pretty easily. Cropping is pretty simple too. Want a couple tutorial pics?

[carmine ibex]

let me install first

I could probably find it online as well, thanks though

[opaque halo]

all could be good signs but could also be wonder and unsure

[full fern]

Cool. Just say the word and I am happy to help

[carmine ibex]

I just want something that I can edit "gifs" (not specifically gif format) locally
ezgif was okay but forced crf=23 every edit.. one edit is fine but pretty quick, it becomes very compressed.. also, I just want something local.. you know?

[cunning pine]

Maybe try a simpler option like shotcut or kdenlive. DaVinci has quite the learning curve and is very bloated for the needs you are describing

[carmine ibex]

okay, thanks! I will give them a try

[cunning pine]

!editors

[wise bay]

For a list of recommended post-production software, including video editors, see our list of Post Production Tools

[cunning pine]

Some other options in that list too

I personally used Adobe back when i was little pirate and wanted to make custom emotes for use in discord

[carmine ibex]

kdenlive already seems a lot better than openshot 😅

[carmine ibex]

I exported as lossless H.264.. going to trim up the end but besides that it looks good
aaaaand.. minor thing but it was originally 60 fps and I said 20% speed and it exported as 29.97.. wouldn't 12 be ideal

oh, and it made the bottom black.. wat the heck
okay, maybe it's not great.. will need to look around more 😅

[carmine ibex]

I found the fps thing and I think the black borders won't be an issue.. as I can fix with a second encode

[sterile flower]

Lol

[slate jolt]

great work😊

[sudden adder]

whats that supposed to be about?

[slate jolt]

oh nothing serious. just being confident about my profession. or what do you think??

[modern yoke]

On the topic of smoother people, I sometimes wonder when enough is enough. A few months ago I saw clicked on a Minecraft stream (it was pvp multiplayer combat) and in the corner it said 1200fps and moving up and down +/-200fps. I commented something like “damn look at that framerate 😳” and the streamer was apologetic because they thought I was mentioning how “low” it was. For reference I get around 100 fps in Minecraft. They quickly assured me that while not recording or streaming they got well above 2000 fps and I think my jaw dropped a bit. In what universe does Minecraft or any game at all need to run at 2000 fps???

[terse helm]

none

it literally changes nothing

like I said smooth brains

[sterile flower]

Bot?

[sudden adder]

nah, they actually responded.

most of the bots on the server just say "hello" or "gm" once a day

[sterile flower]

They sent me a friend request for some reason

[sudden adder]

ah

[sudden adder]

if you would like a critique on your web design work, there are a multitude of web design centered Discord servers

im on like 12 of them

😄

[slate jolt]

wow interesting

[slate jolt]

my bad, i did sent you a request. sorry if you don't find it polite. i can undo that

[sudden adder]

WebDev, SpeakJS, VueLand, Three.js, ElectronJS, to name a few. most framesworks and/or javascript projects have their own dedicated Discords too

[slate jolt]

ok i get it

Good afternoon, bot 🤖

[amber sparrow]

Man I really love these "drummer hears song for first time" videos
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8J5rPaW/

Especially this one where he is showing how he's creating the drum line

[civic quarry]

sorry you will not convince me that a professional drummer had not heard toxicity until 2024

[sweet anchor]

There's a lot of these videos.

There's so much music out there, don't know how unlikely or likely it is.

Chad smith in these videos is an absolute beast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMBRjo33cUE&t=133s

Who needs prep when you can just wing it on the fly as you go.

[amber sparrow]

I love all the Chad Smith videos. Dude is insane

[civic quarry]

it is an interesting phenomenon that I can definitely relate to but not explain, hearing a song and knowing exactly how the drums should sound beforehand lol

[sweet anchor]

Yea. The 17m video or w/e where he just goes off is so good. And he knew the band, their lead & drummer just not specifically the song in that one at least.

[sweet anchor]

I would have no idea, I feel like there's so many things going on at the same time, esp in the Chad smith video

[civic quarry]

heh thats a bit more tame than stuff like this https://youtu.be/AwPCbmTXsiA

[sweet anchor]

Whoever came up with the concept, it's so good. Having them hear it with no drums and just improving it - just wish there were more like chad smith on. A lot of them go through the "no drums version" first to learn and listen. He just goes off like a monster.

[civic quarry]

I do wish it was possible for me to hear this stuff as a non drummer though

[sterile flower]

Nah it's all good, just thought you were a bot lol

[amber sparrow]

[prisma dove]

my condolences

[amber sparrow]

I enjoy digging in and reviewing numbers, but after a bit they all start to blur together and look the same

[civic quarry]

never a great idea to post private (presumably confidential) business papers on a public discord server, just my two cents.

unless it isn't private, that is just my assumption.

[amber sparrow]

I mean that's fair. I edited the telling bits out

But still a safe play removing

"I work for a lot of pool companies" heh

[civic quarry]

in the age of living in a perpetual surveillance state you never know what will come back to bite you 😄

[amber sparrow]

I'm not into biting

But yea, p&ls spread out on table and every inch of screen real estate covered

[civic quarry]

take pictures of every page and have chatgpt do the work

[amber sparrow]

I don't really need it to do any work. Plus actually writing stuff out helps lock it in my memory better

Also that's cheating

[civic quarry]

when I was in middle school they told me a calculator was cheating but by the end of high school it was expected you are using one

[open rune]

Almost like some earlier concepts are fundamental :D

[brazen thunder]

Sounds like a you problem

[civic quarry]

missing the point, it was more in the vein of "you wont always have one of these in your pocket!"

[brazen thunder]

Look. I had pockets big enough for a ti-89, everyone knew that wasn't true, we just didn't know it would be cell phones

[civic quarry]

it is funny to think about but I've actually lived through a few examples of things moving from being considered cheating to not. calculators and the internet are the two that come to mind but maybe there are more.

[amber sparrow]

Back in my day we used encyclopedias

👴

[brazen thunder]

But yeah, Matty, writing is a memory aid for me too.

[civic quarry]

I did that for a year or two

but yeah totally agree, writing things down certainly makes it stick in your head.

[amber sparrow]

Even my first year of college, all papers had to have citations from books, not websites

[civic quarry]

🤢

[amber sparrow]

I'm old. Don't blame me

@civic quarry you working on that bug report for "TEB ducking things up even when switching to custom service"?

[civic quarry]

eh it has been informally reported already

[amber sparrow]

Gotcha

Probably has to do with some weird wire getting crossed with twitch formally or informally handling the kick ingest stuffs

[civic quarry]

no it is just because the UI doesn't reset when you change services

[amber sparrow]

Warchamp would no be pleased

[sweet anchor]

!warchamp

Did they remove that?

[amber sparrow]

!blame

[wise bay]

It's Warchmap's fault.

[livid plover]

you better not get this one pulled too, matty

[amber sparrow]

LISTEN

I'm sorry

[sweet anchor]

Oh why does it say "Warchmap's "

That's why I couldn't find it

[amber sparrow]

Inside long running joke apparently

[brazen thunder]

Wait what command did sassypants get deleted ?

[livid plover]

!bye

[amber sparrow]

!memes might have been me too

Because it responded "no" and was very fitting for lots of nonsense

[wary holly]

It's been a while since the last time someone wrote messages as obs bot, too.

[amber sparrow]

I believe h4ndy had fun with that a good amount

He's been fairly quiet lately

[reef summit]

OBS Bot writes when OBS Bot feels like it

[amber sparrow]

I think Matt was another that talked through the bot

[livid plover]

bot talk wasn't that long ago i feel

[wary holly]

Discord's search is still too rudimentary for this, can't exclude embeds.

[livid plover]

yeah i just tried that, typical discord

oop

[terse helm]

it's a departure at least

[amber sparrow]

Roblox is a terror

I'd rather play forknut

And squid knows my disdain for forknut

[terse helm]

so far as I can tell roblox exists only so adults can exploit children's access to their parents' credit cards

[amber sparrow]

Well

In that case

[prisma dove]

why did you have to make it personal?

[amber sparrow]

Heh auto mod got em

At least that post

[civic quarry]

do you like me more than roblox?

[amber sparrow]

[terse helm]

I think he got beaned

[amber sparrow]

Yup

Sure did

[civic quarry]

@wary holly wait for him to send "f*cking unicode"

ah lmao

[amber sparrow]

Must have said one of the 7 banned words on TV

[terse helm]

see you next tuesday?

[sterile flower]

Roblox exploits its creators and pays them nothing for the things that they make

[amber sparrow]

That's one of em and prob my favorite

[sterile flower]

Well next to nothing

[prisma dove]

I miss George Carlin

[terse helm]

is that word actually bannable here?

[amber sparrow]

Aussies really love that word too

[wary holly]

aaa

[amber sparrow]

Maybe I'm part australian

[terse helm]

we use (the translation of) that word in every day use to refer to things that suck

[amber sparrow]

"Shit cee you next tuesday" seems to be the most widely used combination I usually hear

[amber sparrow]

The T variant?

[terse helm]

no the last three letters in the defunct social network Orkut

[amber sparrow]

Ah

[terse helm]

which btw real fun when our three-letter profanity shows up in english-language names for things

[amber sparrow]

A Dutch curseword

[terse helm]

yes but despite referring to the same thing it's considered really mild here

while the english version in America is like the worst thing you could possibly say

which I think is an interesting disconnect

[prisma dove]

Language, Culture and the Art of Swearing

[amber sparrow]

The P word can be pretty harsh if used properly

Too many kids throw it around without proper heart

Really gotta make it count

[sterile flower]

Gotta love words like ####, ####, #### and ####

[amber sparrow]

[wary holly]

you're using too many euphemisms, i can't keep up

[amber sparrow]

Wussy would be a good synonym

And damn near the same word spelling wise ha

[terse helm]

it's because we can't be sure which ones do and don't reset our "joined the server on" date

[wary holly]

if you're too afraid to discuss words, maybe don't?

[terse helm]

I'm not generally afraid to discuss words

[amber sparrow]

Auto mod scary

[terse helm]

but I don't want to have to go through the trouble of getting unbanned because the bot got me

[amber sparrow]

Don't accidentally hit the g key twice when typing night

Learned that the hard way

[sterile flower]

The absolute fear when I have to type night

[terse helm]

what troubles me with that is that there are two whole-ass countries that I'm afraid to name

[amber sparrow]

Hahahaha

Ever been scam attempted by a Nigerian prince?

[terse helm]

admittedly one more so than the other

[wary holly]

what's the second one?

[terse helm]

the same as that but without -ia

[amber sparrow]

I flirted with danger there

[terse helm]

i.e. very close to the no-no word

[sweet anchor]

What's the nono word

[sterile flower]

Guess

In chat

[amber sparrow]

Type it out

[sterile flower]

Out loud

[amber sparrow]

Yea

Ha

[sweet anchor]

If I knew I wouldn't have to ask you.

[sterile flower]

Where the automod can clearly see you

[wary holly]

ugh, overzealous word filters are annoying

[open rune]

As is the reason for their implementation

[terse helm]

I mean realistically there's no reason for anyone to type that word here so it's reasonable to have

the problem is the little fuckers who try to get around that by misspelling

[sterile flower]

Good point

[livid plover]

agree but it makes child la-, i mean, tasks so easy to pay for!

[open rune]

Hmm

[amber sparrow]

Da shit

[sweet anchor]

I saw a message from Matty that disappeared.

[open rune]

Oh you're still here

I was about to check the logs

[wary holly]

i don't think it's fair to automatically punish everyone else for the 1% of people who'd type it in ill will

[terse helm]

what'd he say

[amber sparrow]

Auto mod got me(and that one was probably based on my own personal request iirc)

[sweet anchor]

It was just a message delete.. I got a ban for that 😠

[amber sparrow]

I'm fairly certain I asked for that stand alone letter to be added

It's the n with the LA tilde over it

[terse helm]

LA tilde?

[amber sparrow]

La

The squiggly Spanish thing

Phone auto corrected La to LA

[sweet anchor]

~ ?

[amber sparrow]

Yea

[terse helm]

ñ?

[sweet anchor]

Oh that gets removed if alone lol

[terse helm]

what why

[amber sparrow]

Because the little shitters

[sweet anchor]

That's just silly.

[amber sparrow]

Started using that when they realized they couldn't say the full n word

[terse helm]

what does it mean to the little shitters?

genuine question

oh hm

I've never seen that

[sweet anchor]

Wait

[amber sparrow]

Because auto mod

[sweet anchor]

Squid wrote the letter...

So it clearly works?

[amber sparrow]

With punctuation directly attached

Ñ?

[sweet anchor]

See O.o

Only if its alone it gets deleted lol

[open rune]

That's how everyone came in and spammed it

[terse helm]

fuckin kids

[amber sparrow]

Yea because annoying shitters

[sterile flower]

Yay I love giving kids unfiltered unrestricted access to the internet

[sweet anchor]

Still don't understand, just have message rate limit - and its limited what they can "spam" until a mod removes them?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sterile flower]

Admittedly, says the kid

[amber sparrow]

When you get 6 or 7 grouped shitters that keep taking turns doing it...

Which happened a few times

[sweet anchor]

You'd think so - but what does banning that do?

They just switch to another character and the issue persists?

Still need to get rid of the core issue I'd reckon?

[amber sparrow]

Except they haven't.....yet ha

One day they will learn(but probably not because too much roblox)

[terse helm]

well it has to be n-related

[sweet anchor]

Does the n mean something specific in spanish or something?

[amber sparrow]

N is the start of the racist term

[livid plover]

black? like the color iirc

[amber sparrow]

Fill in the rest

[terse helm]

if they start spamming å no one's gonna know what the fuck they're on about

[livid plover]

æ masterrace

[sterile flower]

New kind of spam invented

[amber sparrow]

BANNED

[sweet anchor]

I understand the connotation..

I guess it is what it is.

[amber sparrow]

There's no real other reason to use ñ. by itself

[sweet anchor]

I guess I live in a different world

[amber sparrow]

Give me an example

I'll wait

[sweet anchor]

That's the thing, you can turn anything into a dog whistle.

Where does it stop.

[civic quarry]

it already stopped

[terse helm]

he says, while demonstrating said reason

[sterile flower]

To confuse people

[sweet anchor]

You give people the power to ruin random characters, which is just strange. But it's a whole topic.

[amber sparrow]

You act like obs mods get paid to be here and babysit that

Auto mod works

😉

[sweet anchor]

Like I said, it is what it is.

[left heart]

dealing with edgy teenagers is a waste of time, why not let the bot handle it

[amber sparrow]

Fax

Fuck dem kids

[sterile flower]

Printer

[sweet anchor]

Thankfully it is English Discord, and the character has no impact 🙂

[sterile flower]

Yeah they give us chill teenagers a bad name

[amber sparrow]

In Spanish that character has no place by itself

Which is the point

[sterile flower]

At least I like to think I'm chill

[left heart]

I'm tempted to make a bad purchase, but it's a good deal

[amber sparrow]

Do it

[left heart]

it's either this or a new laptop... I can just replace my laptop's battery again

[terse helm]

this being

[left heart]

a telescope mount of course LOL

[terse helm]

seems reasonable

[sterile flower]

Ah yes seems like a very responsible and sane use of money

[left heart]

yep very responsible and sane, I definitely don't live in the worst light pollution in the country either :^)

[terse helm]

it's a telescope mount no

implying you already have the telescope

[left heart]

multiple, yes >_>

[terse helm]

well how are you gonna get the most out of them if you can't mount them

[left heart]

exactly!

(all my mounts are for visual use, this is a photographic mount)

[livid plover]

you could buy an EMP instead and fix this issue

[left heart]

that one probably costs a bit more than a laptop though

jokes aside I really ought to figure out the whole process behind convincing my town to enact some kind of lighting codes

the street lighting design where I live is atrocious. so much wasted light just beaming directly into my apartment that's over 10 stories above the lights themselves

there's a store that has a floodlight out front that illuminates my wall at night too. the light is just not properly shaded at all

[livid plover]

see it a few places here too, but most street lights go off at night

[left heart]

yeah, there's too much traffic here for them to do that

iphone 16 pro
pre order starts from sep 12th .

I am looking forward to buy it.
its gonna be my first iphone.
worth to buy?

[jaunty fulcrum]

"worth" the money? probably not. why the Pro specifically?

[void gale]

Pro has A18 pro chip
Iphone 16 has only A18 chip

maybe i am fine even with iphone 16.

but tech specs shows pro model has battery battery life (thats the only tempting reason to choose pro model for me)

iphone has resale value right so why its not worth?

[steep kite]

[livid plover]

Pro model should have the LiDAR stuff too for easy 3d scanning/etc.

Super Resolution from Nvidia might be helping with color banding more than I thought 😅
there's one video that's really bad and it just smooths it right out

[void gale]

i am using my 2 1080p monitors with limited colour range instead of full colour range

[carmine ibex]

this is the same part of the video and same frame

here's another example that might be more visible
probably shouldn't be playing within YT so it doesn't have the darkened spot at the top.. oh well

this is quality 2 setting

it's not perfectly fixed.. can see it trying to creep back in.. but it helps a lot

[tall vapor]

yeah but, uh, why do you hate yourself? Who hurt you?

[carmine ibex]

limited color range makes a pretty small difference

but 1080p, oof

although, limited color range makes me suspect chroma subsampling.. and at least with Windows, it's fucking terrible
they use some weird algorithm that is whack

[livid plover]

it's pretty noticeable when you have something that's meant to be black

or how white is just kinda dull

[carmine ibex]

no, you still get true black and white

I used to enjoy games a lot in childhood but as i grew up i dont feel like gaming community became more of a commercial aspect dominating entertainment aspect .

whatever game gets hyped was been purchased in market because streamers will get more viewers,followers , youtubers buying to review them . well most of the hyped games are getting sold for commercial aspect rather than buying game to play for fun :/

and there are is so much more to type which takes lot of paragraphics , probably i can type endless :( i am tired of ranting and gave up gaming .

I felt like whats the point of buying Rtx 4090 and Ryzen 7800x3d and using 2 monitors if i dont use it at all . i am using it just for browsing internet

[livid plover]

talking video or the display output setting? cause limited display output defo didn't give me either

[carmine ibex]

yeah, limited display output
maybe you had a mismatch...

[wary holly]

Try standalone mods like Enderal or Anomaly, it's not that gaming is getting worse, it's that you have to seek out what you like by yourself, rather than following advertisements and journalists (which are effectively advertisers as well).

[void gale]

i didnt mean games are not there or bad.
I mean about coop gaming or fighting games.

For example i can buy some games like cuphead,tekken 7 or castle crashers or we are getting free games from amazon prime gaming,epic store there are few online co-op, local coop beat em up games too .

People in my region are not even willing to try games which are not popular .
only caring games which are hyped.
If people care other games and purchase what they are interested in and play everyone together community will shine a lot

people are hesiting even to try demo indie games in steam
2d or top-down camera view games are completely rejected

[wary holly]

@void gale Last I checked, coop games aren't declining. It may seem like they're declining, but that's mainly because some other games have grown exponentially.

[void gale]

they are not but my local region people does rejecting everything which are not hyped

[wary holly]

And as for 1v1 PvP games.. they're a bit of an acquired taste. Usually people learn of their existence by invitation from someone else, and that someone else has prior experience, so they have no hope of winning against that.

Eh, fun is subjective, I wouldn't go complaining about how someone else is having fun.

I mean, I have friends who play g**shin i**act of all things. Ew.

[void gale]

leave about pvp .
what about rejecting all 2d,top-down indie single player games?
what about co-op games like cuphead ,shank , divinity sin original edition 2, stardew valley ... ?

[livid plover]

co-op with strangers has always been rough. find a specific person to play with instead

[void gale]

specific person mean real life friends?

[wary holly]

Subjectively, I never liked them. I only played Sega Genesis games because I had no other options, I only tolerated Terraria for the company, and I dropped Factorio during the tutorial.

[livid plover]

online friends

[void gale]

i was asking online friends only and 99.8% are rejecting instantly
I couldnt play with far region people as remoteplay gives higher ping

[livid plover]

time to make some new friends who are into co-op's then

[void gale]

i tried for 5-6years still i couldnt find them but there are lot in US,UK . unfortunately due to ping issues i couldnt play with them since i am too far

[void gale]

r u not interested in any fighting games or local co-op games at all in general ?
I am sure u r interested to play some 2d or top-down indie single player games

[wary holly]

People don't want to play these games because they don't like them. I play a number of fighting games, that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

[void gale]

people dont want to play = there is no community for these kind of games .
This concludes that its time for me to give up gaming because there is no community.

[wary holly]

I tried dragging a number of people into a specific single/co-op game (a western RPG), only one stuck around to the end and he hated most of it. And, in retrospect, I shouldn't have dragged anyone into it to begin with.

[livid plover]

what? there's enitre smash bro's or similar tournaments

[void gale]

i never dragged anyone but i asked people if they are interested in to play fighting or co-op games . yeah in case if i force a person they might hate so i dont want to drag and let people play , as u said it might bring hate xD

[livid plover]

and you can't boil down gaming as an entire thing to 2 specific subgenres of games

[wary holly]

I suppose this is a real issue, finding people willing to play specific games that are too obscure.

[void gale]

I am open to play lot of fighting games or coop games . i am not specific to play few games still i couldnt find anyone

[wary holly]

Something popular like deep rock galactic or l4d2 is easy to find people to play with, but something like street fighter alpha 3 would be more difficult.

[void gale]

I want to play street fighter 3 third strike but yeah its too hard to find but i can find people who are interested to play wwe or tekken 8

[wary holly]

Third strike is almost mainstream, that's easy. And so is tekken 8.

[void gale]

third strike is instantly rejected here . tekken 8 is somewhat accepting in my region

i am interested to see first playthrough of some games like

• Touhou luna nights
• Laika aged through blood
• monster boy and the cursed kingdom

And some other games but i barely find anyone even in twitch . 0 community in local

[wary holly]

Okay, this is somewhat actionable. You could join the #hisouten discord/irc community, and perhaps some of its members would be willing to play this other touhou title. Or at least direct to someplace you could have better odds of finding someone.

[void gale]

I feel bad on myself that my gaming interests are extremely different from major nearby audience :(

[wary holly]

> but i barely find anyone even in twitch
Every time a new game comes out, the total selection of games one could be playing grows by 1, but Earth's population of gamers doesn't grow with it, so of course some games will get overlooked. Especially because of F*rtnite.

Most popular things are popular because they're at least decent, not only because of their advertising budget. The recent flop of Concord shows that.

[void gale]

whats with these fighting games editions
even highest edition provides 1year season pass

do we need to keep buying chars(seasons) too :/.

I wish Riot new free to play fighting game become success and hope we get lot of more free to play fighting games like how we get shooter games

[livid plover]

free doesn't pay the dev costs sadly

[terse helm]

they should just do it for the love of video games

[void gale]

battlepass , in-game purchases will let them gain alot of money right like how they gain on league of legends ?

[livid plover]

wasn't that just what you complained about being in games?

[void gale]

no i complained about fighting games where even if we purchase highest edition . they are giving us 1 year season pass . later on we need to buy season pass seperately to get characters.
On free to play games in-game purchaes are battlepass and skins but not character purchases.

Yeah well, I remember back when --no-preserve-root wasn't a thing. iirc that was an addition that got started in the gnu coreutils a long time back

okay looked it up, got added in 06. Oop. Yah, a lot of distros took their sweet time to actually upgrade to a ver that included it 😅

@opaque halo You can search for specific key words that indicate connection issues, such as:
WriteN, RTMP send error (search for "WriteN" or "RTMP send error")
Reconnecting in 2.00 seconds.. (search for "Reconnecting in")
RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection (search for "RTMPSockBuf_Fill")
For all of the above, advise calling the ISP. Unless they're streaming at over 6 Mbps to Twitch, as you can get disconnected for that.

00:38:56.407: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] bitrate increased to: 6900, waiting
00:38:56.407: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] going back to prev bitrate

^ This means dynamic bit rate was used, search for ", waiting" to find instances of that. For this, advise disabling dynamic bit rate in settings>advanced and trying streaming again - it'll most likely report dropped frames and/or some of the previously mentioned issues. And once that happens, advise calling the ISP about this.

Finally played "12 Minutes" - really good storytelling

[scenic tartan]

I went to sign up for the OBS Project forum only to be met with the message that my email address was apparently banned? I am not sure why but it's been a really long time. Can an admin here please take a look at my email address?

I am wondering why I was banned there. It's been a while, but given my attitude issues some years ago, I am honestly not surprised.

[jaunty fulcrum]

we block hotmail email addresses due to spammers, that is likely the reason?

[scenic tartan]

I actually signed up just a few minutes ago on my old hotmail address lmao

It's my outlook address that's banned

Decided Discord is a better place for support anyhow though

[jaunty fulcrum]

mm, maybe the ban was updated to outlook emails instead of hotmail

[amber sparrow]

Yea

Outlook is blocked

[jaunty fulcrum]

either way, it's like a blanket "this email is invalid" situation

[topaz crest]

hi

[carmine ibex]

what did they do to the text

[brazen thunder]

looks like dynamic scale adjustment to force a fit in the cell

the kerning is awful, but it doesn't look like it's changing, at least

[carmine ibex]

but even like the really short "AnandTech Shuts Down" is really crunchy looking

[brazen thunder]

My first guess would be raster font scaling artifacts, but kind of hard to tell

[cunning pine]

At the end of the day, you can just look at the timestamps in YouTube

Thankfully they always put them in

[copper pasture]

I did something like this for a stream interface at one point, it switched between Roboto and Roboto Condensed

[terse helm]

those letters are way too thin for a video imo

and probably too small

they'll become unreadable at lower resolutions or if you sit farther away from the screen

there's a reason broadcast tv uses big fat letters

[livid plover]

[tawdry orbit]

Not only did they have to cancel their runtime fee, they raised a bunch of other restrictions as well for indie makers...

[smoky rapids]

On an equally interesting side of tech https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck-studio

@uneven junco Something that may be up your alley of broadcasting.

[terse helm]

oh interesting

powered by bitfocus instead of their own streamdeck software?

that's incredibly interesting

[uneven junco]

you are the 5th person that tagged me regarding this 🤣

[terse helm]

I wonder though, this looks like it has individual screens under the buttons

rather than one big screen like the normal streamdecks have

[uneven junco]

I saw it yesterday already and determined it as too expensive for what it is

[terse helm]

which would explain its expense I think

[uneven junco]

same amount of buttons as the XL and 2 knobs. but 5x the price

[terse helm]

yeah but it's networked

so as far as I can tell this can run standalone it cannot

[smoky rapids]

Not surprised but this is the only real mutual server we share so

[uneven junco]

Satellite

[terse helm]

and similar devices from other manufacturers aren't particularly cheaper I don't think

[uneven junco]

sure, but make a rack mount plate and put streamdecks in there = same (maybe even better) result

anyway, 1000 bucks is too much, sorry elgato

[terse helm]

ah I take it back they have options

in any case I've worked with stuff from Skaarhoj which is mostly similar (though has stuff like T-bars and PTZ controllers) but costs a multiple of what this costs so

I think it might be popular for lower to medium budget outfits

[uneven junco]

I rather have my 4 Streamdeck XL taped together on my table (no joke)

[tall vapor]

yeeeaaah, the fact that it's a "reach out to us" situation...

somethin somethin "If you gotta ask ya can't afford it"

think I'd rather buy a ps5pro for that money, and the ps5pro is a friggin joke that nobody should buy

[terse helm]

maybe, but I think they just prefer to sell you a subscription

[uneven junco]

(the 4th is covered by me)

[terse helm]

note that this software is not specific to this hardware btw

[tall vapor]

yeah, but nonetheless if they hide the price for a one time purchase behind a "contact us" I expect it to be somethin like "5 years worth of subscription"

[terse helm]

maybe

but tbh I don't particularly care what the one-off price is, so long as one is available

and it's not completely unreasonable

[tall vapor]

if it wasn't unreasonable they wouldn't hide it behind a "contact us"

[terse helm]

(€9 a month subscription but you want the one-off price? that'll be €10.000 please.)

[tawdry orbit]

Per the FAQ;

In USB mode, it’ll work with the Stream Deck app.
So if a stream has their pc in a rack and wants to wire directly to the pc below it, they could

[terse helm]

I don't think that's true

[tall vapor]

often times is

[terse helm]

it's just to put up a small barrier

and probably to give them an option to charge you more if you're a bigger company

Foundry

[uneven sluice]

It's a little five second clip of a room I staged in FFXIV. When I was setting it up I was thinking "regular facecam streamers stage their rooms to make it look nicer than it maybe is, I can do the same for my tiny pngtuber model!"

It's very cute if I do say so myself

Anyway! It's a process, I'm working on it. Figure I can ditch the notes, or... Hmmm

... Actually do I even need Foundry

I totally don't need Foundry

[livid plover]

it is indeed very cute. what is foundry tho?

[tawdry orbit]

A self-hostable virtual tabletop

[uneven sluice]

What Potato said. You know Roll20? It's that, but way more powerful/finicky

Foundry is the Linux of Virtual Tabletops

[tawdry orbit]

It's a otp liscense isn't it?

[uneven sluice]

Yep

[tawdry orbit]

Very nice

[uneven sluice]

Linux in that it can do a LOT if you know what you're doing, but also can break a lot

I've got my own server running a Raspberry Pi 400 next to me, and I have to say telling my players to go to a .com domain I own to access the game is just sheer joy

[sweet anchor]

Took at look at it, looks impressive as heck.

[uneven sluice]

It's really great, especially if people build modules for it. By far the most impressive fan-made module I've seen for it is Bubz's Eclipse Phase 2e module. Just astoundingly well made, so much automation. It's basically a Muse, if you know what those are in Eclipse Phase

Of course the very best modules are for D&D 5e and Pathfinder, but those have hella money backing them

And if there isn't a module handy, you can make your own! You can either learn how to make custom made modules using Foundry's documentation, or use one of a few WYSIWYG character sheet builders. I did that for a game once, made a fully automated character sheet. It's really cool

Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but thank you to random person who forgot this in their amazon box they put in the trash can.

[jaunty fulcrum]

[carmine ibex]

not worth much but free is free

[smoky rapids]

Oh most deifnitely to both

But it gives me extra time if I forget to clear off my dashcam card.

[carmine ibex]

I mean, it is the evo select series.. and 128gb which is still very decent
so shouldn't say not worth much

[smoky rapids]

I can get this for $15 or so on amazon off half memory I think.

So defo cheap.

[carmine ibex]

It's weird, I think the one I'm finding that is EVO Select is A1 and 100MB/s

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1762948-REG/samsung_mb_me128ka_am_128gb_evo_select_microsdxc.html well, this one is the same one

what the heck is this one https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/memory-cards/evo-select-microsdxc-memory-card-128gb-mb-me128ha-am/

[grizzled jetty]

how can I report a user, someone from this server is impersonating a popular streaming

[wise bay]

If you were messaged by a user who you suspect may be malicious, scamming, a bot, etc, we recommend reporting these users to the Discord Trust and Safety team so that they can be addressed appropriately. We strongly encourage users to be mindful of DMs they receive from users who are in any public Discord server.

Please report any suspicious private messages to Discord, either by using the Report Spam button in a DM, or by reporting it directly to Discord Trust and Safety

[grizzled jetty]

they are impersonating a popular streamer called mikeross

[livid plover]

common scam indeed. reporting it to discord is the correct solution. you might want to disable DM's by non-friends in big public servers you are in

[grizzled jetty]

I do disable dms

I have them set to show up but not automatically send if they're not friends

[livid plover]

then they're not disabled however, that's the default filtering setting 🙂 click to server in the top left, privacy settings to change that

[grizzled jetty]

Nah, I sometimes do actually find it useful to be sent from non friends, also for reporting scammers

[amber sparrow]

Is it just me, or is the xbox app on pc mostly shit and slow as balls?

[sudden adder]

Yay for basically-webapps

(Xbox app uses the React Native framework)

Used to use Electron, apparently

[amber sparrow]

It's pure dog ass. It's slow. And clunky.

[sudden adder]

Sounds like my experience with the AMD desktop software, lol, also a pretty dog slow webapp

[jaunty fulcrum]

The Xbox companion app was perfect. The Xbox app is rubbish

[amber sparrow]

Adrenaline? That runs really well for me

[sudden adder]

weird, its possibly some of the slowest software ive ever ran

[copper notch]

Adrenaline runs well for me too. What CPU are you using?

Catalyst Control Center used to use 10% of my CPU idling back in the day

Cathodomer might be the slowest software I've ever ran. Slow and buggy AF

[sudden adder]

5700X3D and an RX 7600

its just a sluggish app for me overall

[copper notch]

weird

[left heart]

only tangentially related, this conversation reminded me of a time when I had to spoof a monitor on an old nvidia GPU (I think it was a 480? can't remember) in a server to get the fans to spin at anything other than 50% in the linux drivers

[amber sparrow]

So I have no officially paused the same download in Xbox app THREE TIMES and it keeps auto resuming

Such a broken POS software

[full fern]

MS needs to learn the lesson that not doing something is way better than doing it without permission, damnit. Did you see the new thing where they delete your clips and screenshots off of your xbox?

[amber sparrow]

New "dad toy"

[sweet anchor]

Urgh, spent 2 days with one of those.

Works fairly well though.

Recommend: Wear long pants 😄

[carmine ibex]

Guy just goes hehe haha
Marked made for kids
Great, glad I watched that
Thanks, YT

[amber sparrow]

I have thick tough skin 😉

I mow the lawn in flip flops and shorts

Tis the Florida man way

[opaque halo]

All good until the string cutter works and slings it into your shins

[sweet anchor]

I had this happen, picked up a rock and flung it. It's not nice 🥲

[opaque halo]

Dad did that with a piece of wire... still imbedded in his leg

[sweet anchor]

Which is silly since a piece of clothing would've probably held it at bay.

But when its super hot outside, you're like "Nah it'll be fine" 🥲

[opaque halo]

I have a pair of high rubber boots I wear when doing yard work. Even during the heat of the summer I wear them, sometimes with shorts. Dump the sweat out of them when I'm done... but then keep my shins from getting torn up

[karmic tiger]

we have a push mower from the 50's, that thing is a fucking beast, it eats rocks for breakfast, grinds them and spits them as gravel in your legs

I'm genuinely not kidding, when I was a kid, my dad ran over a brass faucet we had on the border of the lawn, we found torn pieces of it 50 m away

[sweet anchor]

they don't make em like they used to anymore.

[karmic tiger]

yeah, they don't

[opaque halo]

Sadly this is the case with most things. They are designed to be "disposable"

[sweet anchor]

Why get your money once, when they can get it multiple times.

[karmic tiger]

that shit weighs a fucking ton, has a solid metal body, and has an automatic drive once it's started

to be clear on what the last thing means, it's a push mower but you don't actually push it, the motor is connected to the wheels, not just the blades, so it advances on its own.
And yes I mean on its own because once the blade is engaged, the wheels keep turning unless you hold the brake

which, yes means that if you trip and lose hold of the handles, that fucking monster keeps advancing on its own

that shit is genuinely a fucking danger

[opaque halo]

those are the reason you need to keep your arse in the seat for the mower to continue to operate 🙂

[karmic tiger]

yeah

there are some aspects we did improve on

[silver fable]

The video is literally titled 'VID 20240819 113627", did you expect something of value?

That's like seeing one of your posts and expecting more than just a complaint. 😝

[carmine ibex]

no

[cunning pine]

just give it a thumbs down, click the three dots, select "not interested" and/or "don't recommend this channel" and enjoy the rest of your day 🙂
That's what I do. YT has gotten a lot better for me since I started doing that. Especially with shorts.

now if only there was a way to make it never show me live streams in shorts feed.....

[uneven sluice]

Every month or so the Youtube algorithm decides I desperately need to watch endless Jerma videos. I know the guy by name but I've literally never watched any of his content or what he even does, besides "video games guy." Takes me a day or two of pruning them out of my feed

Drives me crazy

[civic quarry]

UFC 306 inside the sphere in las vegas looks amazing

[civic quarry]

I watched a guy playing halo infinite on 3 monitors, apparently that's also kids content. YouTube is weird

[copper pasture]

youtube needs content for its commercial youtube kids feature and will happily steal it from you

then you dispute the categorization and they say "sorry, dispute rejected" and there's literally nothing whatsoever you can do at that point except delete it

so if you're a youtuber always make sure to set "not made for kids" as your default setting when uploading

[shadow horizon]

Lol

[amber sparrow]

Since it's on game pass, playing through mw3 campaign. Say what you will about cod, but their campaigns are almost always 🔥

I "think" the only one I thought was kinda weak was ghosts

[open rune]

I liked the one where you point a gun at civilians to deescalate the situation

[civic quarry]

this campaign was way too short but still good

Ghosts was fine imo

[smoky rapids]

I had a shower thought for Bongo Cat v28:

Controller overlay but what would be considered a top down view with BC reaching for buttons/sticks.

[full fern]

Anybody play Project Zomboid? I just tried out a mod called Bandits: Day One. It's an homage to the chaos of outbreak day in The Last of Us. Really great, but it lags the hell out of my poor old PC LOL

[karmic tiger]

don't play it but friend of mine does

ik that there's a mod that has a 1:1 reproduction of a french suburbs town in the 90's

for some reason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rym5aTzFUmM

like genuinely the shops, the cars all the stuff is french 90's

Ooh, that sounds cool! I already have 3 million mods, what's a couple more?

Hello.

[amber sparrow]

techsupport server has this command and its FANTASTIC

[open rune]

I'm all for having a bot include that if someone is muted for sending messages too quickly
Not so much as a public trigger

[amber sparrow]

they do things a bit different over there

to each their own. but i really got a kick out of that

[livid plover]

figured considering you loved the one we had enough to get it nuked :v

[wise bay]

It's Warchmap's fault.

[full fern]

Might be time for me nuke Chrome. The only time I open it lately is to update it for potential serious security issues LOL

[civic quarry]

the attitude there is just a bit over the line in many cases and that is coming from me.

big server, lots of messages, so I'm sure my experience of what I have seen may be different than others though.

[amber sparrow]

it is def a bit aggro. i kinda got ripped within a few minutes(tho not super surprising because its.......me)

2500 reward points is effectively $25

I think you could maybe stack Rakuten on top of that.. maybe save another $10-15 or so

[modern yoke]

im struggling to come up with a new unique username. how do people do it?? seems like all the ones I want are taken.

[karmic tiger]

hmm could give you some of the ones I hoard

XD

[modern yoke]

what? what does that even mean?

Got ideas/tactics?

I kind of gave up trying. I'm just hoping I get a genius idea if I just "look" for it during random times

by genius I mean "decent" and "available"

I'm not looking to buy accounts with cool names, just to be clear.

[jaunty fulcrum]

It's very much a difficult choice a lot of the time. Some people know exactly what name they want. I haven't come up with something I like more than my current name in a very, very long time.

[opaque halo]

Mine comes from me being a Radiology Tech. Sort of a funny take on what I used to do. Been using it since the mid 90s.

[hearty stirrup]

the name I use is old enough to rent a car without the "young driver" penalty

[modern yoke]

The thing I'm looking for is basically this: A simple, catchy and unique yet clever name involving "lalo", which at this point has become my "identity" (and im not looking for a new one of those). It shouldn't be too long with too many syllables, it's gotta be available on all platforms, and is easily passed by mouth so people can spell it correctly more than 90% if someone just says it. Was there something more I missed? Probably. In my mind, that is the perfect username. And I'm starting to think it doesn't really exist. 😅 Today I wasted away an hour and all I found out was that not a lot of words/extentions really play well "lalo" that aren't most definitely taken. And just to be clear, all these criteria are just what I would consider to be the PERFECT username. But as I'm realising now, I can't expect to find it easily. I'm not asking you guys to "please find me a good username" that's not what that is. at this point this is pure venting, sorry. 😅

[full fern]

Oh, shoot. Mine too haha

[hearty stirrup]

I'm pretty sure i came up with it circa 1998

I know I had it for original run ICQ 75514451

[full fern]

This was my first Yahoo account, so yeah

[modern yoke]

It seems to me that such a task was easier to do in those days yeah. Not as many accounts taking up names

[hearty stirrup]

yes I still have that number drilled into my brain

[tall vapor]

You already got a username, soo...... ya can change to a new one whenever you actually find one, unless there's other reasons to wanting to swap apart from just wanting a fresh coat of paint of course

[full fern]

My original original is longer than this one and wee bit older

[opaque halo]

Bet it wasn't "GrannyDotGonnaSmackYouWithHerCane" 😛

[full fern]

ROFL, not when I was 19, yeah hahaha

That might be my next username though

[modern yoke]

it's pretty much just fresh coat of paint. Well, the backstory is much more complicated but I'll try to breifly explain: basically I used to be happy as "Lalovo" but then a platform I cared about a lot "forced" me to change it to add the "e" at the end (it was the best I could come up with at the time) because some rando from 2006 decided to pick "lalovo" way before me. This wasn't an issue, up until the platform moved to @handles.

[tall vapor]

aaah, so that's the one that ye switched to once ye turned 21 then °J°

[modern yoke]

excuse my ramblings, chat 😅

[tall vapor]

I do have different names for different platforms too, sure

[karmic tiger]

I use a metric fuckton of different names, most of which I've never found any one else on the internet using

(I'm not hoarding in the sense of like having discord accounts with desireable names that I keep to sell or some shit like that)

"oh that's why my computer has this buzzing sound"

i've used these regex functions in google sheets extensively, they also have Transpose and some other functions i use

[sudden adder]

Always a good, healthy thing to do, keeping your expressions regular and all

[nocturne scarab]

and it sucks that scripts in excel (not the vba option) can not be used in consumer licenses

then i see people shitting on google sheets lol

[modern yoke]

Actually now that you mention it. I found a few…. But where this was the case, so I discarded them. 😅

[smoky rapids]

So GTAV is going to be real fun now https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/15680176/

[jaunty fulcrum]

they're finally adding battleye! wow. was not expecting that.

cheating in GTA Online has been rampant for 11 years. wonder why now.

mmm, that does mean it's broken on Steam Deck though..

[smoky rapids]

Yeah. Place where I got the original source from mentioned breaking on linux apparently.

[jaunty fulcrum]

apparently it's "just" a matter of enabling the support, so maybe they'll fix it

[copper notch]

Yeah, a friend showed me how rampant cheating was in GTA5 online and to avoid online lobby and do private instead. Lot of funny business going on in that game.

[livid plover]

beta testing it to see if it'll be viable for GTA 6 lol

[civic quarry]

I don't really see how any anti cheat could make a difference for GTA 5 at this point, the source leaked...

[full fern]

I'm quite curious to see if lobbies will be any different now. Gonna spend the day in Los Santos

woke up sick today, think I have strep 😷

[amber sparrow]

Stop kissing them hood rats

[civic quarry]

I went out Sunday night, definitely going to assume that is when I would've caught something

haven't had this kind of throat pain since OG covid in 2020 though, not fun

[amber sparrow]

Unfortunate

[opaque halo]

That sux. Hopefully you have something to help.

[civic quarry]

nothing the ole dayquil/nyquil combo cant fix

[amber sparrow]

Well if it's actually strep, keep a close eye on it

It can get bad enough to require antibiotics

[civic quarry]

yeah I know, I used to get strep all the time when I was younger but it has been a while

COVID seems more likely nowadays but its hard to tell

[amber sparrow]

I've only had it once in my life. Youngest had it back in December. Was pretty bad. He spiked to like 104.5 fever

[civic quarry]

Yeah I’m not close to that yet thankfully

About time for the “my throat hurts” shot of tequila though

No idea if there is any science saying it helps but in my head it works and that is all that matters

[opaque halo]

Tequila, Jack or Bourbon 🙂

[amber sparrow]

Alcohol kills germs

I like this experiment

[civic quarry]

okay no tequila here so woodford reserve + honey is going to be the play

[opaque halo]

oh.. the fancy sippin stuff 🙂

[civic quarry]

heh is it fancy?

that is my usual bourbon of choice, I guess it definitely isn't bottom shelf at least

[opaque halo]

My wife drinks Woodford reserve - double oaked. It's what she calls it 🙂 It for sure isn't bottom shelf. I don't really do any liquor, except for the occasional single malt scotch.

[marsh helm]

[safe locust]

Hello 👋

Anyone from Lebanon?

[left heart]

I heard from family what's going on there

[safe locust]

Actually I want to know about the thing that happened today

Around 1000 pagers were blasted

I want to know the reason

[left heart]

probably a vuln targeting a PMIC

[safe locust]

Just for knowledge

[safe locust]

Ohhhh

[left heart]

that's just a wild guess though. I don't think I've seen any concrete evidence

[safe locust]

Okkk no problem

[left heart]

that kind of exploit probably is taking advantage of multiple vulnerabilities

[safe locust]

So can we say that its a planned attack?

[left heart]

just gotta wait to see what security engineers find out about the whole thing

articles say they weren't like your typical li-ion battery fire, though, so who knows

[safe locust]

Ya
That's what I read in the article

I have a video I am working on, and wanted some footage of a game I don't own (and can't afford). I found a no commentary let's play on YT, and took the chance of emailing the creator. He said yes! Never would have thought someone at over 2m subs would respond, but woohoo!
