[fierce moth]

The quatity of followers are quite poor too

because it's aged and no value to re-play?

[vagrant topaz]

Maybe it's just bad

[mental talon]

I've literally never heard of that game

[fierce moth]

The rate of these junior achievements are quite low...

The first impression is great regardless

[gilded elm]

Reviews aren't everything, but they're usually a good indicator. This game looks like it basically sucks.

[fierce moth]

I find this game by viewing works about gothic archiectures on artstation 🤔

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VyzwbX oh yeah this one

[gilded elm]

Unfortuantely good art doesn't always make a good game.

There are many bad games with good art lol

Likewise, there are many good games with bad art

[keen wind]

(35)

Either random noise or abandoned by devs

[gilded elm]

Mostly Positive is also not a very inspiring score, as that still means 1 in 3 reviews are negative

I personally almost never buy a game that is "Mostly" Positive

[maiden widget]

Might try a demo but mostly not bothering either

[keen wind]

Last Epoch is all time Mostly Positive with 79% which is practically 1 in 5

Ironically I'd be more likely to skip an Overwhelmingly Positive game if I went purely by the % because that just screams an appeal-to-everyone game... But then again Factorio exists

[gilded elm]

BG3, E33, Path of Achra, Nubby's Number Factory, Vampire Survivors, Schedule I, Factorio, RimWorld, Songs of Syx, Slice & Dice, Halls of Torment, Drova... just to name a few. I don't think there's a single "Overwhelmingly Positive" in my library that I've regretted purchasing. The opposite is true of Mostly Positive, however.

[junior oyster]

Nope I wish I never bought factorio

Waste of £21

Also wasn't factorio overwhelmingly positive at first?

Oh wait it still is

[gilded elm]

It still is! IMO a fun game, but I get that it's not for everyone

[junior oyster]

Yea micromanaging is not my thing

I'd rather play planet coaster

A lot less micro there imo

[gilded elm]

Factorio probably kicked off a lot of automation games that followed

[keen wind]

Fair, I just find the opposite-ish in my library - I don't really have games I regret purchasing as I did not buy the overwhelmingly positive fad games I knew I'd regret purchasing, but it's overwhelmingly positive games mostly sitting there and mostly/very positive games that I got properly invested into

[junior oyster]

Yea I really wanted to like factorio but it like city builder games are pretty much a no from me

But at least lesson learned

[gilded elm]

You'd probably hate Songs of Syx, another Overwhelmingly Positive game lol

[junior oyster]

Yea and rimworld

Haha

[keen wind]

Oh actually Civ 5 is Overwhelmingly Positive 👀

[gilded elm]

Yeah Civ 5 got a nice bump from 6 and 7 being initially bad LOL

[junior oyster]

Civ 5/6 are kind of an exception as they are turn based city builders

[gilded elm]

Civ 5 is a great game IMO

[junior oyster]

I do love the song from civ6 though

Dream of flight

[keen wind]

I love 5 and 6, didn't buy 7 yet >.>

[junior oyster]

Same

[gilded elm]

I didn't realize 6 was so old already

I felt like 7 came out "too soon"

[keen wind]

Jesus

[junior oyster]

Although since I just play skirmish against AI I just cheat to get resources and stuff

I don't have enough patience xD

Is that civ7?

[gilded elm]

Yep lol

[keen wind]

I kept up with the Civ 7 updates and figured the changes weren't quite for me but I didn't realize it was this bad lol

[junior oyster]

They should just give up on 7 and focus solely on adding more nations and stuff to 5/6

I can't remember but there was already something I really disliked about civ7

From one of their posts

The everyone ages together or something

I think...

[gilded elm]

Civ 7 keeps getting compared to Humankind, which is another civ-like game that was poorly received

[keen wind]

I really didn't vibe with your civ becoming another civ in the middle of the game for one

[gilded elm]

TLDR: worse than Humankind lol

[junior oyster]

Oh wait that one too lol

[keen wind]

I just wanna play an Egypt game it doesn't matter if I'm Tutanchamon in 2050

[junior oyster]

They could gain independence or something right?

[keen wind]

Okay Egypt isn't a good example considering it still exists LMAO but you know what I mean

[junior oyster]

You mean ancient egypt but sure

Oof it's that bad huh

[fierce moth]

2333333 unreal engine crashed three times in 10 mins when I want to check out its UI

Hi, magicavoxel :o

(art from baba is you never be outdated. It's created by Hempuli)

[desert jasper]

I wonder why so many Finnish games are weird
like baba is you
Noita
and so on

[fierce moth]

https://www.artstation.com/learning/courses/adP/planning-a-game-environment/chapters/rLVa/preparing-proxy-meshes
Remind of this free tutorial so I open unreal for the first time xd then it's consistent crash

Why are they weird? baba is so cute

another baba art by Hempuli

[sand wigeon]

Because Finland is dark and cold and the only thing they have is game design.

[desert jasper]

It's true, it's dark and cold here all year around
Please ignore the summer time where we get a few days where sun doesn't go below the horizon

[sand wigeon]

Exactly.

[desert jasper]

Also probably doesn't help that Finnish people have a lot of problems with alcohol & depression

[sand wigeon]

Eh, who doesn’t? /s

I think it’s the surstromming, honestly.

[desert jasper]

surströmming is a swedish thing

not finnish

I've only seen surströmming in 1 store here in Finland and only seen one guy buy it as a joke

[fierce moth]

I guess Nub and Cyborgwars can recognise the other native language each other

[sand wigeon]

Damn… I was almost funny…

[tawny sand]

You'll get it next time, I believe in you

[fierce moth]

Judd play slormancer too 🤔

Voxel plants crafting kills lots of time 🤭

[fierce moth]

Oh I see what I need to find. I want to know how monk's bathroom looks in cathedrals 🤔

[tawny sand]

does anyone have any recommendations for Devil May Cry / Bayonetta style games? I'm playing through Ninja Gaiden collection now

and will probably play through Metal Gear Rising Revengeance again

i can't think of any other ones, nier automata too ofc which i've beaten

vanquish i don't really like since it's more shooter focused

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain !!!!!!!!!

[twilit mountain]

UPDATES TO INFLUENCE CRAFTING??? WE ARE SO BACK

[mental talon]

We fixed Veiled Orbs
We brought back Veiled Chaos Orbs

I am so ready to be hurt again Deias. This June 5th wait is about to make me go full unhinged (I cant post any funny emotes sadly)

[twilit mountain]

Give us a good skill patch and my life is yours, Mark!!

[narrow token]

Isn't that just poe1 stuff?

[mental talon]

I'm not trying to get my cope levels through the roof, so I'll just wait for the 5th lmao.

[twilit mountain]

Yeah. That's why I'm excited lol. PoE2 was a massive disappointment for me as a longtime PoE1 player.

[narrow token]

I see. I never got into PoE1 so it goes way over my head.

[twilit mountain]

Rough estimate puts me somewhere in the 7,000-7,500 hour range, I've been fiending for a PoE1 league for a long while now.

[tawny sand]

hasn't it been almost a year since the last league now? I imagine poe1 stans are fiending in general yeah

[twilit mountain]

Yuuup

Settlers started in late July 2024

Nearly 11 full months will have passed by this league start

We've had Svalinn in the game for so long I deadass forgot it wasn't a core item yet

[tawny sand]

dang that's wild

[fierce moth]

😂 I want to share something interesting.

I have visited a pastry school (but it have Cantonese cuisine courses too) today, learnt a bit about what will I learn from courses if I go. It includes croissant baking and birthday cake decorating. I don't decide should I go to learn them yet because I still want to do my own artworks...
Then a twist is happened while I talked my thoughts with a online friend.

He gave his example of how he devote himself into gaming under the pressure from his work and asked me do I have the same level of passion for my art.

🤔 It inspired me that may change an angle to view this thing, "Learn pastry to find a job is the challenge on my art career" instead of "Learn pastry is helpless and waste my time only" will more acceptable.

Plus: He have ate six croissants once time, and cause no bread for his colleauges to enjoy, while he touched this bread for the first time so he's learning how to bake croissants now 🤣

(I never know how delicious croissants for someone is)

I like French king cake the best personally

[mental talon]

Pretty much same I think I'm closing in on 10K because of standalone + Steam but I dont want to think about it lmao.

[ember lake]

@desert jasper Cozy games, all quite low cost too!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1957760/Islands__Trains/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1970460/Garden_Galaxy/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455840/Dorfromantik/ - has goals
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046030/ISLANDERS/ - has goals
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135690/Unpacking/ - has goals and story
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928540/Horticular_Build_a_Garden_Attract_Wildlife/ - has goals and story

'Cozy' to me means I'm able to make a cup of tea or grab a snack at any point

[tawny sand]

there was a game i played recently that was kind of a cozy puzzle game where you grow plants over abandoned scenery

i can't remember the name of it now

[desert jasper]

Hmm thank you
Not my kinda games sadly

[ember lake]

No worries, I hope you find something you can chill with for awhile! You deserve a break 😊

[tawny sand]

Oh here it is. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1372320/Cloud_Gardens/

you might like it ave

I also play this when I just want to vibe https://store.steampowered.com/app/2379910/Dystopika/

[fierce moth]

😮

I never know Ave is an expert of cozy games, amazing

4/6 games I heard before

[fierce moth]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/576500/Evergarden/ Do you interested in this one?

I played the mobile version 60h so I can prove it's addicting

It's interesting to know Ave like this type of game art, then it's make sense that Ave will love my style

[ember lake]

Oooh, I've not heard of this one, I'll definitely look into it!

[fierce moth]

I noticed this game while it's just realsed because the game dev I knew recommended that

Knew that for the first time from twitter

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1414020/Mixolumia/ This game is made by the game dev I mentioned

I joined in the game development (testing and make different colour themes) before it's released on steam because it's released on itch at first

It's an American who live in Japan (I learnt how to use English in chat with his help)

[fierce moth]

I wonder do you interested in playing casual puzzle games

[fierce moth]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2272400/Station_to_Station/
I guess the art style and gameplay of this game is your tea

I know this artist and I followed his works since 2021 🤭

In short: evergarden, mixolumia, station to station

My opinion for cozy games is as same as Nub, dislike games which without goals

[ember lake]

I love this game! I played the board game version before so I'll look into the Steam version too 😁

[ember lake]

Yep!

[fierce moth]

checked out my library, I guess the last campfire/Glass Masquerade 1-3/Gris/sizeable/Ynglet/ The almost gone/A short hike/Spring falls/Bonfire peaks (Another voxel art style game but puzzles maybe too hard)/Assemble with care/Ovivo/Carto/CHUCHEL (The only game I'm laughing in the whole process) maybe your tea too

top 1 on game art style for me is Ynglet, it's even a 2d game... The ceiling of 2d games on art

Nice to hear someone like this type of game art style too

Good, the most funny moment in Chuchel not in the trailer so no spoiler. Enjoy :) It need 2 USD only

I played creaks/Pilgrims/botanicula/Chuchel if you mentioned this game studio

Bad at point-click puzzle games so Samorost 2-3/Machinarium not my tea

But I completed The room series and the house of Da vinci series because they have in-game hint systems

What Remains of Edith Finch is the game I played did the best on storytelling, but I guess most people know that because it's very famous

A short hike inspired me to buy a controller and play games by controller, it changed my way to enjoy games (too hard to play with mouse & keyboard)

Checked out my google play, I suppose Kenshō/Under leaves should in my list too (they're on steam of course)

oh recommended lots of cozy games I played here but don't make my definition here yet.

Cozy games = Immersive experiences by its game art + game music + gameplay

So le is my cozy game too

The reason of no concept for game environment design before can be found in cozy games I recommended too

[tawny sand]

this game was pretty cozy https://store.steampowered.com/app/1749860/Lushfoil_Photography_Sim/

just take pics of stuff and wander around

[gilded elm]

Level 20 Uber Elder https://youtu.be/HF3Bv_yyTwk

[ember lake]

I'll give all of them a look! I'm always after new games to play 😁

[sage flame]

bazuka on an acid trip at this point

[fierce moth]

oh yeah it's ave's tea

I think the question that should I buy it for a while and give it up at last because no goals

think a few seconds why video Byte shared looks quite familiar.... Oh I saw last video he posted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSIPgzxu1CY oh new meme video from Hawg

[ebon meadow]

Ofc it's Havoc but still a level 20 is dumb

Description of the video made me laugh

League start viable soon tm

[gilded elm]

Despite the insanely expensive gear, I can't dismiss the raw skill that went into that. I'll probably never reach that level of skill, but I respect it for sure

[ebon meadow]

Nah his skill is just dumb ,he does practise and plan like a crazy person with his team

Can't recall why he stoped HC , net issues I guess

There's hardly anything left for him to do in SC

Him Ziz raíz and ziggyD were the first people I was watching along practice speed runs lol

[fierce moth]

Oh he is Kripp, thanks

I don't know Raiz

[ebon meadow]

No Kripp is not a racer but is an OG Poe player

He used to race I think but not for long

He is very good with Arpgs and other genres

[fierce moth]

No game genres I'm good at

Lots of masters in ARPG game type after I jump in this circle

Me:
Played a bit this one, a bit that one, oh man I'm burn out.
Next game.

Masters:
Played this one for a week, oh I find a trick. Let's make a video.
Next build next week.

This circle let me know more YouTubers at least. I watch videos on bilibili more than YouTube though. Built a YouTuber list but no interest in most of channels I subscribed

[fierce moth]

GGG give me a surprise suddenly... They revealed environment design in act 5! The temple 🤔 The experience will better a lot once act 4-6 is lived, I can imagine

I guess it's what I can do in my interior of gothic cathedral too... Just inspired by temple in act 5

[fierce moth]

I guess deluxe version is prepared for ARPG streamers

another soul-like ARPG

[narrow token]

Like there's not a million of those already 🙄

[tawny sand]

i think that game's gonna run horribly on pc, the system requirements image they had were kind of wild

[fierce moth]

Then my laptop can run the lowest quality only

I don't think my GPU can reach recommend specs

I want to triple dedicated GPU memory

[narrow token]

It has a demo, so you can find out.

[blissful token]

That title reminds me of a game for zombo shooter

[blissful token]

So kirra will play poe2 again?

[tawny sand]

rather replay the stellar blade demo a few times instead

[narrow token]

Yeah Stellar Blade has a cool demo. Not sure how far you can go in it though since it crashed on me. I'll try again later.

[tawny sand]

just up to the first main boss, and there's an optional boss after you finish the demo.

it seems like it'll be an alright game i guess

[fierce moth]

Don't forget we spent a lot real money on our stash

[blissful token]

Nuuuuuu.... dont remind me of the stashhhhhh

[fierce moth]

I want to see how GGG plan on their map design and environment design so I'll find a build to play

ONCE they release act 4-6 completely

I'm busy on adding blood blocks and muscles on the wall after I'm inspired by the temple made by GGG. Just doing experiments consistently

I want to simulate this effect

[hot crown]

@ember lake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD1_4iNY0tA

[ember lake]

Awesome song! I need to make time to play, I just know when I do it'll consume my free time 😅

[hot crown]

There's more too ^_^ Not just songs, but a whole story cinematic as well. Same channel. 🙂

[hot crown]

Dawn Arrives

[desert jasper]

It sure does

[rugged marsh]

So much hype

[fierce moth]

ok the funny thing is I adjust the density of blood blocks and muscles for hours but then realize it's not suitable for my scene at all... I jumped in another light's colour just now XD

I admit gold is my favourite thing. To be more clear, mental + marbles.

Plants, necrotic stuff, blood and stones... Not so much interesting if mental and marbles here

I want jewels! I want gold! I want marbles! I want everything relevant to luxury.

[fierce moth]

Average response from a dragon when discussing what they are hording

The reaction from a random person

[maiden widget]

Looks cool

[fierce moth]

I hope discord own a feature is replace media file I uploaded in past messages so I don't bother people with new messages

[desert jasper]

Then people wouldn't see the updated versions
and your progress

[fierce moth]

https://www.instagram.com/voxel_botanica?igsh=MW55azE1MncwdHN4MA==
What are they think of these AI voxel plants?

[fierce moth]

I wish I have professional portrait photo too

[maiden widget]

Decent phone cameras today can produce them already

[fierce moth]

I think I need to wash my hair after looked what am I looks now

[pine summit]

path of exile twitch drops stream tomorrow

[keen wind]

Well that disconnect sucks

[tawny sand]

new bloodstained finally announced 🥳

[tawny sand]

it's not till 2026 😔

[desert jasper]

Also apparently Nioh 3 is a thing

I still haven't really played 2

[tawny sand]

i never played nioh either

there's also my HYPE for marvel tokon, arcsys doing marvel vs is wild. Did not see that coming at all

i'm really curious how they manage 4v4 tag fighter, that's a lot imo

[muted parrot]

OH MY HOLY CAT!? 🤩
There were only rumors about Team Ninja now has time to do Nioh3 since they‘re done with other franchises and now it’s official? 😯
Gotta look it up on YT 👀

[desert jasper]

The game also already has a steam page

[muted parrot]

Ayayay! I hope it gets a good release so more people can enjoy the many qualities Nioh has 🙏

[desert jasper]

Tbh i kinda hope it's not mission based anymore
But it's okay if it is

[muted parrot]

the music in the trailer Chef's kiss
I wouldn't mind a different approach to it but also would be fine if it's mission based again. I'm fine with everything as long as it's really a Nioh 3 and not a downgrade from Nioh 2 that is so high up..I wonder how they could do even better :S

[tawny sand]

Nioh was missioned based?

I had no idea

[sage flame]

Yes it is

[fierce moth]

I'm glad I'm female sometimes because I can refuse jobs which my Mom recommended, they required strength because they're physical activity

I'm an environment artist
I'm an environment artist
I'm an environment artist

(Nevermind, I just solid my relief)

[fierce moth]

Oh yeah, I tried a new drink two days ago and I can't accept its flavour yet...

KOMBUCHA

I chose grapefruit oolong flavour. It's just like Apple cider vinegar, 99% similarity

Because both of them have the same steps for fermentation, just how much time to be fermented

[ebon meadow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1l3cmws/path_of_building_for_last_epoch_v050_new_release/

Pog ?

[fierce moth]

:)

The biggest sense for me is I see the hope that ARPG are united, they're closed each other more and more based on their different exclusive features

They're different but they're ARPG

It's interesting if I can make my fan art per ARPG one day...

Be limited in Poe series and le isn't good

Beautiful people + beautiful artworks

[desert jasper]

Wouldn't be surprised if she's standing in front of a greenscreen, not actual forest

[fierce moth]

The interesting thing is this artist always go into forest to get inspirations and create art. Plants and flowers are her focus

I guess so much news and lots of new games will be spoiled in a few next days 👀
(Plus GGG chose June. 6th to announce details of 3.26... yoooooo)

I hope I can find something I can afford to play

@ebon meadow your profile is more and more cool. Looking forward to next one 😎

[maiden widget]

Does look like it's shot on a phone to me

Typically you'd go for a more blurred background with "real" cameras that have bigger sensors

[fierce moth]

😳...

My reaction: 🤯 😳 😱

Alright, I reach the chat limit after I asked for the text prompt

I go on ask it for voxel version based on the text prompt after 5h

[keen wind]

:(

[fierce moth]

Today is a bit unlucky.
Take the usual bus route but met a odd old woman twice times.
She complaint and shout out for a young man because his foot put behind the chair so bothered her, the second time is she unsatisfied with the air is dirty in the bus so she punched the glass. She have talked herself about how dirty and trash these masks are for a while after she saw a girl wore a mask...
🙃

[pine summit]

5h til PoE twitch drops stream

[fierce moth]

poe and poe 2 subreedit will be noisy soon

[jolly wadi]

Because someone finally told the half that thought everyone was playing Pillar's of Eternity that everyone is actually playing Path of Exile?

[desert jasper]

Yes, path of exile

Gonna be good reveal
though i'll hopefully be asleep by then

[ebon meadow]

People already starting practice for league start lul ,we are not addicted I swear

[fierce moth]

yeah I'm addicted on polishing my work instead.
Looks much more natural with this colour outside after I added blurry glass and water tracks on window 🤔

[ebon meadow]

ChatGPT is pulling u towards blur lul

Does fix some issues

[fierce moth]

The most hype time for ARPG fans is coming 👀

[mental talon]

Im guessing more self cast buffs too

[fierce moth]

You mean that xxx ember on item affixes panel?

I'm not sure how it works

[crisp onyx]

xx number on items dropped in threads that make your crafting on item higher tier mods and lowers the number xx

to add the salt they also added nemesisrogue exiles from poe2 but better

[fierce moth]

This one, memory strand

🤔 I guess many tricks are hided behind memory strand

[crisp onyx]

yes

[mental talon]

k for @twilit mountain Mercenaries count as .5 a player so you get HP multiplied as well as Quant boost etc.

[crisp onyx]

overall seems like a lot of things that will make plebs able to craft too

[fierce moth]

Spin to win is the only one I can connect with le in contents they're revealed

The most interesting thing is the unique flask can draw cards I think

[twilit mountain]

Huh... funky. But cool I suppose.

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Mark said for 3.27 he's gonna go sicko mode

[twilit mountain]

Bet. You're already cooking, show me what you look like without your chains.

[crisp onyx]

he did

i feel the hype

looks pretty

hope plays the same

[ebon meadow]

spoilers i already feel like econc is getting not gutted but nerfed and i m bonking again

unless the tree changes to ele are unicorn

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Memory Strand was basically "How can we make the Tier system from PoE 2 work in 1."

[twilit mountain]

And somehow they just made it better. Wild.

[mental talon]

Memory Threads was them going "How do we make the Memory system we implemented better" and that's how we got here. Also Kirac missions can replicate what you got from Memory Threads.

[twilit mountain]

Oh damn. That's cool. Does that mean the old memories are gone?

[mental talon]

Unsure yet sadly didnt expand on that

[twilit mountain]

Gotcha. Well if they are that's fine really, if they aren't I won't complain. Free money.

[crisp onyx]

makes you rly think why cant they make it better in poe2 too

[mental talon]

Also Memory Threads are also their attempt at bringing the power back into T16 juicing and not only T17

Mark said if they havent solved it yet they will continue to do more changes to drop juicing back down

Calls the Memory Threads maps/Originator maps "T16.5"

"Currently the juicing should be in the 16s"

[twilit mountain]

Based. I honestly would prefer juicing 16 over 17, 17 is just really expensive and prohibitive, and the bosses range from "cool fight" to "i want to swallow a ball of lead" depending on a combination of whether or not I have phys mitigation and CI lmao

[crisp onyx]

17 is just bad

the only good thing about 17 is it removed uber boss spec from atlas tree

[twilit mountain]

I disagree on that. T17 is good but not as the farming standard.

[crisp onyx]

do you enjoy running them?

[twilit mountain]

Yeah. Just not 24/7.

[crisp onyx]

i see then

i just dont like how bricky t17 is

with its mods

[twilit mountain]

But I feel that way about the standard of farming that is "play THIS ONE T16 map forever, maybe two"

[crisp onyx]

its like reflect but you have 5 different reflect types you need to reroll

[crisp onyx]

i'm big fan of alc+go random maps

not highly specific strat

cant be bothered to run same map 100 times a day

[twilit mountain]

I find T17 mods aren't that bad if you can invest enough. I got to a point where the only things I avoided were less defenses and giving things like 600% phys as extra

[twilit mountain]

I'm a bit on the degenerate scale, so I do intentional strategies that need setup

[mental talon]

16 of the new "Tratashan" gems "kinda like Transifgured gems"

w.e. the hell it's called

[twilit mountain]

Guess who somehow burnt her finger through an oven mitt

[crisp onyx]

low fire res

[twilit mountain]

True

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Ships take longer intentionally (and in some cases have better rewards)

[crisp onyx]

so still mandatory

[mental talon]

Mark just promised Ventors Gambling Strongbox will come to PoE 1 (not 3.26)

[twilit mountain]

Noted. No more 30 minute stacks of divs.

[twilit mountain]

Peak.

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Sanctum is getting changed and/or nerfed in some way and future want to move away from it having raw Divines

[crisp onyx]

bestiary mentioned

[twilit mountain]

Good, screw that mechanic

[mental talon]

Wants to touch Blight again new rewards etc. go over a lot of older core leagues and rejuvenate them etc

[twilit mountain]

I can see that yeah. Blight feels pretty dated atm.

I'm debating my league start being blight + betrayal tbh

[mental talon]

Im gonna do my standard Betrayal + Expedition

[crisp onyx]

betrayal seems like must have with new craft benches

maybe ez early items?

[twilit mountain]

I only do expeditions with the funny big boom

So I'd need a starter with a good handling of that

[crisp onyx]

starters dont handle well big boom

lots of bad mods

[twilit mountain]

Sometimes they do

Miners generally have no issue with it if you avoid the immunity mods

[mental talon]

Instant buyout/auction house is closer than farther away, plan on prototyping it in PoE 2

[crisp onyx]

isnt it the point of big boom to not avoid cant avoid mods?

[twilit mountain]

No, you just move it out

[mental talon]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3787013

[twilit mountain]

Oh baby

Gonna tear into those ASAP

[crisp onyx]

Adjusted Banana to more closely match the size of the Kalguuran version.

[gilded elm]

Finally 😄

[fierce moth]

🎉 I can know what happen when a league in poe ends finally

Real-time is the only point I'm not happy with Kingmarch

🤔 The transition of 3.25 and 3.26 is as similar as 1.0 and 1.1... The core exclusive seasonal content is saved but more new gameplay are cooked

@twilit mountain Can I ask why are you in a voice channel about meowing all the time

[desert jasper]

I did indeed fall asleep before the announcement and slept through it
Seems like I missed some hype

Will need to watch it after work

[fierce moth]

I feel no sense to check out the patch note because 99% I don't understand

poe = a new game for me

I want to try their style of spin to win

[desert jasper]

Did they change cyclone? 🤔

[fierce moth]

This classic skill is moved to poe from poe 2 But I'm not sure can I have a chance to try this pinnacle boss

[desert jasper]

what classic skill

I can't tell what's going on with that screenshot.

[rough bluff]

anyone know how to attract overburdened lizards for loot specifically ones that have a good chance of dropping set items thanks!

[fierce moth]

https://youtu.be/Flyna3xf1lI?si=F4f7ybiI7lZebMPa&t=111

[desert jasper]

Okay so what skill is being moved to poe1?
that doesn't answer

[fierce moth]

Dashing bomb

[desert jasper]

I sew
thank you.

[gilded elm]

Help, I started a New Game+ lol

[fierce moth]

I guess Byte will not miss 3.26 because of expedition 33 though

[twilit mountain]

I'm not. It is just a custom thing I have set up because I found it funny.

[inner forge]

i kinda gave up in chapter 2 with the open world, such a big game!

[desert jasper]

Man, i'm actually looking forward to the poe league
it's been too long

[fierce moth]

Do le have spin to win or Poe have spin to win at first?

I wonder how Poe players judge which ascendency nodes are they need more...
https://poedb.tw/us/Headsman#AscendancySlayer7

I can't see obvious difference for specing the left branch and the right branch

(4-node-branch)

[inner forge]

life leach vs attack speed mostly

or depending on the big nodes, e.g. endless hunger has bleed immunity as long as you're leeching (i.e. attacking)

[fierce moth]

Do that node help me to immune corrupted bleeding too?

I need something help immune bleeding exactly... Have learnt a lesson before

[desert jasper]

poe had it first.

basically all arpg have spin to win move

[fierce moth]

And spin to win always one of the most popular build?

[desert jasper]

It's popular
not always the most popular.

[inner forge]

i dont know what corrupted bleeding is unfortunately. If it's considered a type of bleeding i would assume that it guards against it too though 🤔

also i cant wait to start another flicker strike build and give up after a week of making no progress and being a glass bubble gun

[fierce moth]

Emmmmm

I have been a glass bubble gun before and I dislike that because my damage don't reach that level, one shot everything

It need powerful gears and jewels to support too

[inner forge]

i absolutely love the chaos of flicker strike though, it's a shame because it's so much fun slowly building up the amount of crits you get

[blissful token]

Phasmophobia is having a film 🤨

[fierce moth]

Decided, I go on figuring out this build
https://pobb.in/oaTeo_xZPpxo
But I heard ice nova is nerfed

Ice Nova of Frostbolts: Can now expand from up to 2 Frostbolt Projectiles (previously 4)

🤔

[twilit mountain]

Corrupted Blood. It isn't bleed. Translation error I think.

[fierce moth]

I want to try hexblast trickster again after I stacked resources

[fierce moth]

How to get a jewel for corrupted blood immunity?

[twilit mountain]

Take a jewel -> throw a vaal orb at it and pray

[fierce moth]

alright. PRAY...

Maybe I should purchase one directly

[junior oyster]

No

Unless it's super cheap

[fierce moth]

yeah I'm checked the price but get nothing

I guess the range iss wide due to valid affix type and affix's tier

I don't want to waste my fragments because I can't immune corrupted blood again

[junior oyster]

Isn't cb mainly for sirus?

[twilit mountain]

It's very prevalent in maps nowadays

[fierce moth]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Apex_of_Sacrifice

I'm not done this maze because I can't immune corrupted blood consistently

[inner forge]

when's 3.26 releasing?

[junior oyster]

After 3.25

[mental talon]

Next Friday

[fierce moth]

Hah... Attacks are better but spells are worse

I don't know should I play archimage hierophant or storm totem hierophant then

[inner forge]

Thats pretty awesome, I hope its going to be a fun league!

[inner forge]

Your own build?

[fierce moth]

That's too far

Asked for suggestions in Poe server and I switched my build 🫡
https://youtu.be/6FA-kBCv1tI?si=WDKn8Km7O-K1lK5M
I will try storm totem hierophant

I've played storm totem shaman in le for a few months so I can make the contrast too

[twilit mountain]

I don't remember there being CB in here (outside of possibly spawning randomly on rare mobs)

[fierce moth]

....what's CB

[twilit mountain]

Corrupted Blood?

[fierce moth]

oh I don't know Sirus. No idea how to get awakening fragments even

Oh maybe what I need is just less damage is taken 😅

[mental talon]

I think I'm gonna play Slam Zerker like I planned and maybe make a Perseverance Ice Crash of Cadence Champ after and then some Self Caster deciding between Elementalist, Sabo Mines thing with the new Infamous Gloves mod, or my boy Inquis.

[fierce moth]

suppress spell damage and reduce physical damage taken

[mental talon]

Also rip Hexblast o7

[twilit mountain]

I am glued to Sabo updates. Free returning proj is too funny.

[mental talon]

Yeah I don't think I'm starting Sabo but I see a future where that one Infamous Gloves mods for Mines and the 50% Nimis I'm gonna make something silly. But first I want to clear all the new pinnacles/farm up money so I'm setting myself on Zerker Slam, Champ Smite/Ice Crash of Cadence, or some Self Caster (I think Flameblast looks insane now with the buffs like giga dam).

I think there's a world I play like 6-7 build this league tbh lmao

[twilit mountain]

Hold on, what gloves mod, I need to pick your brain here for inspo (lack of PoB update means I am unable to build yet)

[fierce moth]

the elder and the shaper...

https://pobb.in/pPTkhizfOZFI
Then this ring must very expensive

[twilit mountain]

No, incredibly cheap

[desert jasper]

New fear unlocked
ear was tickling at work
it was a spider walking

[fierce moth]

(I wonder how to get elder items then I follow the clue to find the elder)

WHAT, spider?????

[tawny sand]

i woke up once with a spider in my beard, was def a fright

[fierce moth]

Spider in my imagination is fat and flurry

[desert jasper]

yes
a small, non flurry spider

[mental talon]

I'll find it for you gimme a sec

Also obviously wanna see what the other Infamous Mods are/what slots they roll on etc

[twilit mountain]

Oh holy peak. Where get

[mental talon]

So from my understanding

Those come from the Mercs

Like when you do the whole challenge thing

Same with the Trashtaxgegaafheba whatever the hell skill gems

(I'm mobile right now)

Also obviously the Runegrafts I can feel the potential

[twilit mountain]

Noted. Definitely on the list.

[mental talon]

This is one of those leagues where you're gonna be making some really strange wacky builds

And I'm here for it

This has so much potential I don't think I need to explain lmao

Once PoEDB and PoB get updated I'm so cooked

Goodbye free time. I will miss you

[twilit mountain]

What are they thinking

[mental talon]

I don't know friend. I don't. But listen I don't complain I don't complain. WEW

[twilit mountain]

Oh hell no, I ain't complaining

This is gonna be a league to remember

[mental talon]

Mark wants to go wild for 3.27. I'm not sure if my mental can handle it. Like damn Mark I already thought this was a pretty damn good league allt things considered

Like please calm down Neon I'm scared I have a social life and you're making this very hard on me.

[sand wigeon]

All I care about is that Kingsmarch went core.

[desert jasper]

Imagine if it didn't go core and no more currency market

[fierce moth]

Me: Open poewiki, find research bar, type vaal soul oh...vaaled skill gems, cool

[mental talon]

LMAO Einhar Harvest Beast Memory prices in Standard are skyrocketing time to actually sell the idk 50+ I have in Standard real quick and do some xddBusiness before they get deleted (more Mirrors to buy more Demigods PogU )

[twilit mountain]

Give me more, Mark. Moooooore. I don't need doctor's appointments, I need PoE content injected into my veeeeeeins.

[twilit mountain]

I was saving my Settlers money to get an alt art but I got distracted and spent 850d on a strength stacker LMAO

[mental talon]

Deias trying to make sure we lose every bit of free time. I respect the hustle but also I'm cooked

[sand wigeon]

She is made of free time.

[twilit mountain]

Sometimes I have things to do. A lot of the time I don't. The blessings and curses alike of having a skeleton that hates me.

[mental talon]

LMAO I feel it ahaha. Vultures are 20D in Standard now. I should stop being lazy and just offload a bunch of stuff now. Since literally the Memories get deleted next week

Also man crafting low-key got better for weapons

[twilit mountain]

Dude crafting for weapons is so much better now

[mental talon]

Lost like 16k waiting from Resistance mods being gone

[twilit mountain]

Yuuuuup

[mental talon]

Oh my God WEE

[twilit mountain]

Ele weapons to the moooon

[sand wigeon]

(The “things she has to do” is make me coffee.)

(Or tea.)

[mental talon]

Help I need to like be an adult. 3.26 is making it hard

Help

[twilit mountain]

I meant like, appointments. I usually have like one a week

[sand wigeon]

And I usually have one blood sacrifice a week.

[twilit mountain]

What blood type?

[mental talon]

Did you see that the Map Device options got buffed for the most part as well? 👀

[twilit mountain]

Aye!

[sand wigeon]

O-.

[desert jasper]

O- gang

[mental talon]

Legion my beloved

mfw Kingmaker gonna be stupid expensive this league.

[sand wigeon]

(I don’t know my blood type.)

[twilit mountain]

Mm... legion might be a good play depending on what route I build

[mental talon]

Yeah I'm just legit waiting to see what the Infamous Mods from the Mercs are + what slots they are

And the rest of their gems

[desert jasper]

Oh
I thought you were saying you're o-

[sand wigeon]

No. I use other people. I would never mare my skin.

[desert jasper]

Meanwhile I've got scars all over the place
Nothing self caused, ofc
but just kinda some over time

[fierce moth]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIbTRoqIVMm/?igsh=NmVtNW1qMHB6cnhi
How a shrimp spend a busy day

I want to enjoy spa too

Never know what's spa

[fierce moth]

lol this game is quite aged, I know a game release on steam in 2008 for the first time

[desert jasper]

The first one came out in 1989

[tawny sand]

https://tenor.com/view/space-bob-prince-of-persia-sword-faster-gif-25399765

oh right no gifs dang

but that's what the original PoP looks like

[fierce moth]

alright I can't find the comics Wick posted

Wick must use his magic

[twilit mountain]

It's okay, we got Lost Crown recently and that's a return to the style of that era, and it's PEAK. Phenomenal game.

[fierce moth]

This is pattern I'm trying to learn

[ember lake]

Octopus!! Found in a Roman Villa from 2nd-3rd Century AD, Villaquejida, León, Spain

https://x.com/AlisonFisk/status/1923702481336389708/photo/1

[fierce moth]

😆 thanks, the pattern let me laugh

this pattern is quite interesting and lovely

[ember lake]

It is, isn't it? Shows that not everything was serious all the time 😁

[desert jasper]

It's wonderful
seeing that people were still people, you know

[ember lake]

Look up Roman graffiti - it's hilarious 😂

[desert jasper]

too busy trying to flirt with people in persona

[ember lake]

I mean, given some Roman graffiti, you might get some ideas xD

[desert jasper]

Well
it's not like I can type out my own responses in the jrpg

[twilit mountain]

@mental talon I need someone who isn't a fool like I am; how screwed would I be by using Locus Mines on not PS? Nimis-Lite makes it tempting.

[mental talon]

Tentatively, I think you'll be fine. Tentatively. I'd have to PoB w. e. budget and DPS but in my head just reading it, I don't hate it

[twilit mountain]

The funny expands...

[mental talon]

I've got a self cast plan right now and it hinges on GGG not doing anything with Righteous Fire of Arcane Devotion and Blood Magic. But trying to be quiet until next Friday lmao

[twilit mountain]

My assumption is "no mana = no activate" but maybe they forgot

[mental talon]

I know one of the devs plays Last Epoch and uses the Discord so I'll just say YEP

[twilit mountain]

LMAO fair

QUICK TEST DONE, WE'RE IN BUSINESS

https://pobb.in/dvq0Hzpdg0Rt
WITNESS ME

Yes there is a lot of work that could be done on this, I'll get around to it

[fierce moth]

Ok my floor is done on basic textures, colours and patterns. Lack of some polish for golden edges to add more details 🤔

[desert jasper]

Looks good so far
Also did you sleep at all?

[fierce moth]

1:36, June. 7th (24h). Not too late for me yet

[ebon meadow]

I say same thing at 3 am and having to work next day lol ,it's not that late still 5 hours to sleep

[fierce moth]

🤔 oh it's how long I sleep today

But I took 1h afternoon nap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sF-P2xrKyc
I just know I can watch this tv show for free on youtube!!!! Holy god it's a new time killer

Oh and future game show live on steam today!

oh sorry tomorrow :(

sigh I hope US time on June.7th immediately

[ebon meadow]

I v been watching supernatural extended time lol on season 8 or 9 took a brake to watch some movies I missed

[fierce moth]

My fingers need a rest after holding the mouse for a long time but my brain can work still 🤷‍♀️
Watch a bit masterchef then go to bed

[ebon meadow]

After LoL my fingers never get tired but my wrists next day make GGG logo noises

Also I crack them every 30 mints 🤣

[fierce moth]

There must down many angles when my hand on the mouse. Then this area will give me signal to take a rest when I kept my joints the same for hours so I must straight my fingers to relax

[ebon meadow]

isnt that the star treck salute ?

Just a little overstrained

[fierce moth]

Your veins are very obviously 🤔

[blissful token]

Minus the veins, they look like terminator's

[ebon meadow]

Apart from bad blood circulation I like my hands lol they don't get damage that much suprisenly

[fierce moth]

🤔 I guess I know why are they think I'm quite honest... Watched a video about lessons he learnt in his life, his conclusion is make friends = benefit exchanging

[desert jasper]

Nah I don't expect to get anything from my friends
Them being my friends is good enough
Enjoying their company

though sometimes I do wonder if they feel the same way

[fierce moth]

This work is quite vivid.

[fierce moth]

Oh I'm sorry to hear Ziz can't eat everything he want to eat because of stomach issuses especially I just done my dinner 😢

[ebon meadow]

Yea he is lactose intolerant to

Witch brings a lot of stomach issues like burn and stuff

He does eat healthy now though compared to before ,it was always pizzas and take aways

[desert jasper]

Lactose intolerance isn't too bad
Apart from stomach cramps and a few other things

[maiden widget]

damn i think this is my best quiver ever

[ebon meadow]

Lactose is good for many things I don't know if theires substitution for it ,like calming stomach acids and calcium for bones

[twilit mountain]

Uh... lactose does like, pretty much nothing for humans. It's not necessary by any means.

[ebon meadow]

Itd not the actual lactose it's dairy products

I have a slight intolerance to I can eat anything with it before sleep or stuff like cheese or milk raw

Do get bad burns and stomach pains still but I don't know how my bones are strong lol

[fierce moth]

🤔 I just know lactose intolerance is common in China

I'm fine with all dairy stuff but I can't taste all of them because of money issue

I can't eat cheese daily because it's not popular here so they're expensive
(The difference of traditional food)

[sand wigeon]

And more specifically it's things inside dairy products, such as fat, calcium, iron, B12, etc

Which can also be found elsewhere

...So not actually dairy products. And definitely not lactose.

[ebon meadow]

Nono lactose was just a reference to dairy products

Funny thing I m speaking about this rl to lol with work companions

Apparently we have completely different issues but same out come

[desert jasper]

I still drink normal milk when I want to
I just have to take a pill that it doesn't mess me up

[ebon meadow]

Even with a pill I can't drink milk at all it triggers my gag lmao

[desert jasper]

But mostly I drink lactose free milk

[ebon meadow]

I was forced as a child to eat something disgusting and as soon as it touches my mouth ...yea

[desert jasper]

Ah, texture issues
I get that

[ebon meadow]

Yea

And the weird acid it has

Completely cuts my stomach

[desert jasper]

wait, acid?
can't say I've noticed that

[sonic monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-milk-bad-choice-gif-8186860

embedn’t

[ebon meadow]

I don't know the actual terminology,less skimmed the milk is more of a surtain acid it has

Like I can't even smell fresh milk like wine I have to exit and breath fresh air or it kicks a surtain allergy like

Family used to have cows and the smell of fresh milk used to meet me out

[sand wigeon]

This is because fresh milk is bad.

[ebon meadow]

Now skimmed has a thing to be more acidy and that thing if I taste it I m fire extinguisher with my stomach content

[ebon meadow]

True it's not very good for our digestive system

There's so many natural and fermenting things that goes in to our stomach it's crazy for me to break it down to molecules

[sand wigeon]

Pasteurization is a good thing.

[ebon meadow]

Me and raising bread hormones smell go back a wile

Nope I can't be in same room

[sand wigeon]

Yeast fermentation, yes.

[ebon meadow]

Not sure if it's called self raising flour in English

It's what you use for dough to raise

That thing is vile for me

[fierce moth]

I'm happy for the latest result

[desert jasper]

nice

[fierce moth]

Shabby chic

God. Perfect key word for vibe I want to make

Or this is my style

[vagrant topaz]

Is that for your logo?

[fierce moth]

Yeah, this is the favourite one I found on fiverr logo maker. Such a pity that I can't afford that... Plan to check out another AI logo design tools today

Maybe I need to learn adobe illustration later

[fierce moth]

🤔 or this one on looka (I prefer looka's one more than fiverr's one)

🙃 The biggest issue is the font must be legal... It means I need to learn design fonts if I don't want to buy any fonts

Fine, I just find some inspiration. This thing can't be pushed

[vagrant topaz]

Why not do smth in voxel?

[fierce moth]

oh new inspiration: Maybe I should place that on the alter in the centre of my cathedral.

This is the most beautiful floral cake I seen

[gilded elm]

Posted in my work chat, thought it was a hilariously true portrayal of a "prompt engineer" lmao

[cosmic bronze]

@hearty elm btw the nihilis on your site has incorrect tooltips as well, should be -4% to +8% movement speed, -20% to +50% mana regen and -10% to +20% armor

[crisp onyx]

tbch, it usually doesnt make syntax mistakes, and for something as simple as json it usually works pretty good

[fierce moth]

lol Japanese and Korean College Entrance Examination system isn't easier than Chinese

But Indian is the top unfortunately...

Super hard for get top scores once time but Indian need to get top scores three times to get access to the top universary

Yesterday and today are Chinese College Entrance Examination days so many videos relevant to that

[keen wind]

Big models don't usually have that issue yeah, and you can few-shot teach them, smaller models get silly though

[fierce moth]

ok, start to find any new games which I want to play are revealed

Luto have news finally...

[fierce moth]

Chronicles: Medieval
It inspire me to learn what church looks in medival and maybe can become the next work;s goal
Due to it's realistic on art style, I think the price will not cheap, ￥168 at least.
Never play sandbox strategy game, will keep an eye.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2231020/Chronicles_Medieval/

Chrono Odyssey
MMORPG + lore rich + PBR + Soul-like + open world. Wow I guess the dev team build it as a 3A game. Holy god every detail of the environment art showed in trailers are top level... Request the playtest, but I sure I can't afford the price, ￥268 at least.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2873440/Chrono_Odyssey/

ok this is future game festival's spotlight.

Bogdans Cross
It's the work from a solo game dev... Respect. Cute and colourful environment plus it's inspired from medieval history attracted me, interested in how will this game dev tell the own medieval story.
It must more cheap than Chronicles...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2503230/Bogdans_Cross/

ok this is Latin American Games Showcase's spotlight.

Alkahest
Its trailer is quite unique because in-game combat is the only content in double trailers. Medieval background too but this game will focus on combats I guess. I'll worried about the optimization due to open world tag.
Hard to guess the price, maybe more expensive or more chesp than Chroicles.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3016620/Alkahest/

ok this is IGN live's spotlight.

Gecko gods
I guess this is the game @ember lake will like. A cozy adventure puzzle game with a** lizard** as main character!
ah the lizard is very cute.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290760/Gecko_Gods/

Monument valley 3
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must-play game without doubt.
23 July is the release data for GMT+8 👌

ok this is wholesome direct 2025's spotlight.

Hah? I played the demo? interesting

[fierce moth]

🤭 I just learn a new way for inspiring players to boost the server...

You can't send gif, images and links in any channels if you doesn't boost

money-is-win flavour is quite rich before I can play Chrono Odyssey...

why was I not informed of this

[hot crown]

...sigh. It's justified to feel alone when you actually are alone, but when you feel alone with your SO and kid being right over here, it's... unnecessarily crippling.

[indigo shadow]

Holy hell, ROG Xbox Ally X with 24GB or Ram, 1TB storage, and Z2 architecture? https://news.az/news/microsoft-and-asus-unveil-two-new-xbox-ally-handheld-consoles-featuring-an-all-new-full-screen-xbox-experience-photo-video

[sonic monolith]

seems like a pc with extra steps

[hearty elm]

tnx, fixed that and bunch of other uniques/stats too

[sage flame]

thanks for your work tunk, absolute gigachad

[torn locust]

Uber farming going well

[fierce moth]

@twilit mountain Maybe you can challeneg their secret of the altas- boss kill event?

The prize pool is juicy this time

[twilit mountain]

I don't do those. Ever. It relies on playing builds that I am not interested in on top of playing game modes I do not enjoy.

[fierce moth]

Cooking a side altar

[fierce moth]

The material is gold, copper and sapphire

[indigo shadow]

Alright, honest question: Do Mike & the team need to port to Xbox for ROG Xbox or it will stay as Windows oriented UI?

[inner forge]

Well that's a deep one, how are you hanging on?

[desert jasper]

tbh i don't care

[indigo shadow]

You might not care but Now Handheld is a core business than consoles or desktop PC

I asked the same thing about steam deck, Mike was as surprised as I were.

There might be nearly 2000 posts about steamdeck and yeah, it's been a while. 4 years man, 4 years make a difference

Mike was skeptical about the development of handheld but yeah, his latest reaction yesterday was positive. I'm happy that he's alright with it

[fierce moth]

Checked out game list of PC gaming show, none of games I want to wishlist

[hot crown]

Somehow. 🤷‍♂️

Beats me.

[fierce moth]

Remain Xbox games showcase and next festival don't reveal their game lists yet

[hot crown]

Guess my safe mode is actually working.

[fierce moth]

That's tough to find a game do well on gameplay + art style under suitable price

I guess I'm forced to check out official trailers + player's review + game lore + gameplay walkthrough to do fan arts in the future

And this game must have many influence and good community construction... Well... I'm finding the next perfect game indeed

[fierce moth]

You're playing le like a cow... Just keep working and don't feel exhausted 🫩

I'm admire your work.

45% sale for D4 xdddd ok I guess it will reach 50% soon

[ember lake]

JSONLint is a lifesaver for making sure your JSON files are valid - the amount of times an erroneous comma has borked an entire hour of work is too high 😂

[ember lake]

Omg geckos! It is now on my wishlist!!

[fierce moth]

:)

It'll easy to make fan art for this game I guess because main elements are beach, temple and a cute lizard

[hot crown]

Not looking in that general direction even if it becomes 75%+.

Out of principle.

The blizz who delivered is no more. Long gone.

[indigo shadow]

D4 already reached 50% off in Steam

[twilit mountain]

"Already"? It's been out for multiple years why is this an "already"?

[fierce moth]

@ember lake do this biscuits is known by everyone in UK?

[ember lake]

Whittards is a 'posh' (expensive-ish) shop but biscuits like that are common at every price range 🙂

[fierce moth]

Oh make sense on the price is scary here too

(the rich can ignore that of course)

¥ 79.8 = I can enjoy double cake slices / grab a few breads / 8 cups of instant noodles / 2 plates of salami

Oh lol these spent ¥ 78.6 already 👀
Instant noodles + salami + Camembert cheese

[hot crown]

...I would have to pay at least 15 times this much for this where I exist...

80 yen is crazy cheap...

[fierce moth]

I want to know what taste of Camembert cheese is

[fierce moth]

Wow then it sounds like the way to spend Japanese dollars/ Korean dollars/ Taiwan dollars 🤔

[hot crown]

I mean, the local currency to yen is rated as 0.0226 to 1 respectively (that's the current rate anyway), so...

Last time I visited a convenience store (yesterday), it cost me an equivalent of ~700 yen.

And I didn't even buy that much.

I'm not a US resident.

[fierce moth]

Let's compare

[hot crown]

For reference, the current rate of local currency to USD is 3.2261 to 1.

You're looking at BYN.

Also for reference, my monthly salary is equivalent to roughly $200 give-or-take.

And I have a wife, a kid, and a cat.

Low key makes me wonder why the hell I even exist at this point.

[ebon meadow]

Holy my monthly is 1.3 k but weekly shopping here is around 70 €

[fierce moth]

My side is 7.1985

[hot crown]

Considering the mess the worst of which started on Feb 24 2022.

[fierce moth]

3.2261 is quite value

[hot crown]

...lol.

That's after how many denominations now?

[fierce moth]

The same with my case 🫂

[ebon meadow]

@hot crown I m guessing the EU West in your name is a server more than a where u are ? Thought you were from Europe

[hot crown]

Yeah. EU-East doesn't exist, so I kinda have to make do. And yeah, I kinda am from Europe; just from the shittiest part of it there can possibly be.

[ebon meadow]

Is it for lost ark can't remember on top of my head games that use that as reference of where you from lol

I saw a weird thing yesterday that torn my ass ,not exactly sure was it Japan or South Korea that sells anti hangover drink that mixes with alcohol drinks to not give you hangover

I need this in my life

Heard it breathly and was like what the actual hell why is this not everywhere

[fierce moth]

What the difference between christman churches and catholic churches?

[hot crown]

No idea. I stay the absolute f--- away from any and all religions just to keep my sanity as intact as physically possible.

[hot crown]

While we're on this particular topic: the actual current rate BYN to USD is 322.6 MILLION to one.

That's how f----d up my dumpster of a country really is.

[ebon meadow]

Christian believes in church and priest or more like Papa as a servant of god other only believes in what Bible says also called evangelic or protestant

Both have churches but Christians believe in holy humans

Don't ask me about orthodox because I can't remember lol

[hot crown]

Based on what I keep seeing, certain orthodox preachers openly support the ongoing atrocities of war.

One more reason to keep out.

[ebon meadow]

Yep sounds about right ,I m a Christian orthodox by family

Don't care for religion really do understand that people need a believe

[hot crown]

What people do need to believe in is their own strength and capabilities. Religion in itself is a MASSIVE coping mechanism if you ask me.

The moment money and other stuff gets involved, it stops being about beliefs. Like, to a screeching halt kind of stops.

[ebon meadow]

What ever gets u Up from bed every morning I don't mind but yea it is a copium mechanism I agree

[fierce moth]

The problem I want to verify is do I wrong if I put furnishings of catholics in a gothic cathedral?

[hot crown]

...oh, you mean the architecture.

Genuinely no idea. 🙂

[fierce moth]

The history of religions are quite complex to understand

[hot crown]

You don't say...

[fierce moth]

I'm worrying about it's wrong to put church tabernacle in the altar area of a gothic cathedral

[fierce moth]

Can't escape the destiny of learning European history if I want to learn interior of gothic cathedrals so...

[hot crown]

Understandable.

[fierce moth]

Oh I see, it's not the thing I should afraid because gothic cathedral I designed is fantasy one

Close to original cathedrals and grab their elements to combo is fine

[fierce moth]

I just figured out the title of my series :)

Neo-gothic in shabby chic 01 | Soul church (done)
Neo-gothic in shabby chic 02 | Golden church (cooking)
✅

Series is the best for portfolio

[indigo shadow]

I would recommend this

[fierce moth]

Not available in China sorry

Super limited on international food for Chinese

Curry/seafood/beef & shrimp are all flavours for Japanese version of Nissin cup instant noodles here

[indigo shadow]

What was the flavor? is it a beef flavor but I don't think it's halal for me. 😂

Kirra, you should try Saury.

[junior oyster]

Damn that's a lot of caps lol

[sonic monolith]

kid watching me play borderlands 3. he said ammo wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t miss so many shots 💀

[fierce moth]

I wonder how big the volume of DM Judd have received 🤔 I never taste this feeling so I can't imagine

[fierce moth]

this cheese is my tea 👍 The white shell isn't as bitter as Brie cheese so it's better on enjoying it directly

No habit for eating cold food (salad) let cheese hard to join in cooking

[desert jasper]

I wish cheese wasn't as expensive as it is

[fervent hazel]

The cheapest cheese in germany (gouda/emmentaler etc) is like 8$ per kg for regular price. With good cheeses like bluemolds starting at about 20$ per kg.

[fierce moth]

Yarn: guys, the weather is insanely hot... 🥵

Weather forecast: cloudy, 34c

[twilit mountain]

Been fairly close to that here too, lately. All my cats have just been flopping over in the hallways lol
I wouldn't mind it too much if it were less humid, but it's like breathing through a wet rag lmao

[desert jasper]

How wonderful

[fierce moth]

flop over in somewhere. Very vivid

[desert jasper]

Yeah, that's what cats do
Sometimes people too but that's hopefully on bed when you're tired

Or something might be terribly wrong

[ember lake]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-bunny-friday-be-like-sleepy-go-to-bed-gif-13076747

Bunnys too!

[desert jasper]

True that
It's quite adorable when animals do it
I've seen a horse do it too. To avoid someone riding him

That wasn't as adorable
but still silly

[indigo shadow]

Nop, there's Pork on the sausage, or else I would buy it

[twilit mountain]

Sometimes I do it when I stand up too fast :D

[fierce moth]

Not done yet but I'm tired now

[fierce moth]

oh the special sense on textures from this scene is I re-use the same techique after 4 years. I learnt that by the process of making the first series, wooden villa. Oh I called series as "collection" before lol

[twilit mountain]

That is so cool though

[blissful token]

That's like 100 temporal sanctum map layout on the floor there

[ebon meadow]

He agrees

[fierce moth]

lol no. Tomporal sanctum's floor is much more complicated

2 layers on floor only here

Their floor: I need to design curves for central platform and golden edges + randomize colours + craft textures + carve these curves + make a layer of particles + delete a layer of particles + craft golden edges + craft blue edges
My floor: I need to design square patterns + randomize colours + delete a layer of voxels + draw stain

🤷‍♀️

Everything relevant to curves in voxel is 2x difficulty automatically

The texture on wood floor and the blue marble floor is old assets so I need to change colours only

[sand wigeon]

I did warn you it gets humid here.

[fierce moth]

Call of dragons is a MMO made by farlight (莉莉丝游戏), the game company which earned a lot from AFK

It even get editor's choice...

It's make sense now. Chinese mobile game, which good at copying creations from foreign games but they still can earn a lot of money because it's what Chinese game designers focus on.

[fierce moth]

I need to elimlate a few food here at first because they don't exist in my city/Chinese market/I don't touch yet: Blue cheese/Beets/Capers/Escargot/Canned Tuna/Olive/Brussel Sprouts

Then I will not eat: Nutella (too sweet) /Celery/coffee/Avocado/oysters/Peas/Beans, so 7.
I'm welcome most of food

Beans a bit special because I will not eat green beans separately. This is my way

But I dislike this way

😅 Holy god how these people whose get over 35 be alive... They must don't exist in my family for 1 month

[sand wigeon]

I was about to go through this and cross out the ones I wouldn’t eat before I realized there’s nothing listed I wouldn’t eat.

[tawny sand]

i haven't had some of them like escargot, but I think the main thing I don't eat are livers

i grew up in the south so chicken livers are pretty popular, my mom loves them, but they taste so weird to me

which is funny cause my mom is really picky with food, where as i'm not 🤷

oh also i really don't like okra, but it's not listed on there

[sand wigeon]

The things I’m most iffy with on there are zucchini and eggplant, but I still eat those fairly regularly.

I can buy all of that at my local grocery store so it’s not like any of it is some abnormal thing I’ve not tried

[tawny sand]

i actually don't know if i've had eggplant

zucchini is okay i guess, fried zucchini is really common here

but i guess fried foods in general are lol

oh, i don't like pickles AT ALL

[desert jasper]

I love pickles
sometimes even drink pickle juice

So
Once again gulls have made a nest in our parking lot and are very aggressive
For a few years the grannies in the building next door have left some food & water for them near the fence so not even surprised they're back

[blissful token]

My score is 2, blue cheese and liver

[tawny sand]

i wish people wouldn't feed or mess with wild animals. There's a really awful habit of people getting out of their cars up on the mountain here to look at black bears.

and the roads are narrow, so their cars end up blocking the road

it's so dangerous imo

[desert jasper]

That's dumb as heck

[tawny sand]

a lot of the times it's tourists i think

dang tourists

[desert jasper]

That reminds me that we have medieval fair in the city this weekend
so there's gonna be a looot of tourists

[tawny sand]

oh cool, you going?

[desert jasper]

Eh probably not this year
Last year I was pretty sick because of the (then) undiagnosed diabetes so it left a bit sour taste in my mouth
but also I don't really have money to buy things from there so it would just be me walking around the different stalls for a few hours and then deciding to go back home

[tawny sand]

that's how i am with my town's festival they have every year too

just wander around and not get anything

i haven't been to it in some time

[desert jasper]

Also the entry is 20€ for friday only
and 3 day ticket is 65€
so eh

[tawny sand]

i've been practicing drills in sf6 all morning to get reaccustomed to the game, i'm so rusty 😔

can't even react to drive impact now

[blissful token]

I only do that in mhwilds

[desert jasper]

Can't wait for the title update on mhwilds
maybe I'll finally get back to playing it

[tawny sand]

did the performance improve any? i didn't get it cause it looked like it was about the same as DD2's

[desert jasper]

There was a performance patch.. last week or something
but I've no idea if it improved or not

And speaking of DD2
I kinda stopped that at some point
No real reason for stopping
I had fun with it but just

[tawny sand]

i didn't finish it either

it was okay, idk. I loved the first one but soemthing didn't grab me about the second

[desert jasper]

Yeah I loved the first one too

Tbh it was weird in 2 how there's so many more cyclopses etc
Like you walk for about 15minutes and you see 3 cyclopses, a troll or two

feels less special than in 1

Also feels like it's got way more cutscenes than 1

[blissful token]

there was a patch in Title Update 1 or after it that says improved VRAM utilization but doesn't seem to change much to me, or at least not very noticeable. Honestly, i somewhat prefer Worlds graphic. Wilds with the REengine seems washed out in colour

[tawny sand]

yeah, and they're always in the same spots too

[desert jasper]

World was super cool
Kinda hated doing co-op in through the story tbh and a friend of mine quit the game because of that

[tawny sand]

co-op was a pain

it was okay for me cause i usually like to fight the mosnters first time alone, but my friend and his wife hated how it worked

[desert jasper]

Yeah
Like it almost felt like an afterthought

And the monsters instantly going from 1player hp to 4player hp even with 2 players
Was later changed that 2players had its own hp amount while 3 and 4 had same

[tawny sand]

and then you have the opposite like in rise which is fine, except i was trying to do low rank multiplayer monsters and I think it's scaled for four players and doesn't auto-scale. Took me forever to do some hunts

i got the game later on and nobody was going back and doing LR missions

so i stopped playing

[desert jasper]

Tbh I kinda hated some parts of Rise
Like the rampage

[tawny sand]

tbh though i didn't really like the wirebug stuff anyway

yeah and i didn't like rampage either that much

[desert jasper]

And it felt like you're forced to bang a monster against the wall or another monster with the firebugs
Simply because how much dmg it dealt

Hunting horn was super sweet in Rise though

[tawny sand]

always wanted to learn hunting horn, never did though

kind of a lot to keep up with it felt like

[desert jasper]

The buffs last quite long tbh
And since using them doubles as an attack (that takes a while to do) you use them when you get an opportunity

[blissful token]

I didn't play Rise

[desert jasper]

Oh and I reaally didn't like the... spirit bugs? or birds or whatever they were in Rise
that you'd gather for extra hp, stam and what was the 3rd one, defense?

Just thought it felt super bad

[blissful token]

the graphic fidelity and graphic limitation on greatsword slamming the ground not being impactful enough kept me away

[desert jasper]

Yeaa can't really expect much from a game that was originally for the switch

[blissful token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdMZSmq6TZM its sad

[fierce moth]

It's done

Looking forward to his review

[twilit mountain]

If we wanna get real particular with it I have issues with a lot of these depending on how they're used (I have a lot of texture issues with food), but it's not that in depth so I didn't bother.

[fierce moth]

you're the 2nd person don't eat grapefruit I meet. I like that the best in all fruit I have eaten

I dislike fruit just sweet on flavour. With some sour will taste much better

[vagrant topaz]

Beets and liver 🤮

Beets taste like dirt

[keen wind]

Only blue cheese for me I think 👀

[twilit mountain]

Idk what it is about it really, I put it in my mouth and my body wants me to spit it out immediately

[gilded elm]

Doctors usually tell you not to consume Grapefruit or any kind of Citrus while on certain medication, like my ADHD meds, because it makes your medication less effective. So that's why I stay far away from it lol

[ember lake]

Vitamin C too for ADHD meds, learned that the hard way

[twilit mountain]

Did not know that. Dunno if that affects mine since I'm on a non-standard med for ADHD but I will keep it in mind.

[gilded elm]

https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/grapefruit-juice-and-some-drugs-dont-mix
Might not be the case for you, but def worth asking your doctor just in case

[fierce moth]

🫂 I want to know am I ADHD but... this disorder have recognized by a few Chinese only. They think it's just your issue when you can't focus on a thing

[gilded elm]

It's like that in Korea too, where I grew up. I just assume Mental Health Care is bad in most of East Asia. Lucky to be able to be treated now since I live in the US.

[fierce moth]

Don't need to assume, that's the fact

They will not care mental health so much till someone is died because of that and even these things happens, they will say "they're just not brave enough to live"

[gilded elm]

My life with and without medication is day and night difference. Without medication, I am not even a human tbh.

[sand wigeon]

You’re so ridden with disease that it’s better for you to develop scurvy than eat an orange smh

I’ll never understand people who can feel any affect from medication or have anything that can actually be medicated

I’m fortunate enough to not have anything that needs that really

[twilit mountain]

You literally do but don't want to

[gilded elm]

It's really tough for people who don't experience ADHD to conceptualize the idea that someone isn't lazy, they just can't overcome the inaction. I get it, but it's real for sure.

[sand wigeon]

I don’t?

I guess I might have undiagnosed bipolar depression but it’s not really bad enough for me to want medication

It only gets rough in the winter because I forget to take vitamin D supplements

[gilded elm]

It's certainly more like a spectrum than a "do or don't" kind of thing. People have different degrees of severity.

Some people can cope.

[twilit mountain]

it’s not really bad enough

I'll check back on that in two weeks

[sand wigeon]

What?

[gilded elm]

Mine is bad enough I got diagnosed twice lmao. Once in childhood and then again as an adult.

[sand wigeon]

Mm. I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism as a child but I’m very sure they were both misdiagnoses.

[gilded elm]

Yeah. ADHD, Autism and Bipolar often get mixed up, I hear.

It's tough to nail it down

[sand wigeon]

Well, I’m quite sure I’m a sociopath and not autistic. All of the autistic traits I have are shared with a sociopathic personality, and I exhibit more traits of that than I ever did for autism, so I’m going in soon-ish to talk to a psychiatrist about my diagnoses

[gilded elm]

I've considered therapy with a Psychologist to supplement my treatment. My Psychiatrist is naturally going to be more medication-focused, that's how they approach treatment of mental conditions. As opposed to a Psychologist who will use therapy to unravel your mental.
