[vocal trout]

Oh

It was fake, nvm

[hidden glade]

Beans on toast isn't fake

[rugged forge]

🤦

[hidden glade]

Wait I need more cheese

[rugged forge]

Hehe

[hidden glade]

[crimson inlet]

Well then

[hidden glade]

Collecting the infinity stones

[crimson inlet]

I bet he used Apple products

[hidden glade]

If he snapped will half of us get server wiped

[vocal trout]

I bet you could get that if you go into an apple store and touch all the phones

[crimson inlet]

oh wait maybe I should be careful

if anyone asks, I wasn't here

[vocal trout]

You wear them right out of store?

[hidden glade]

I wash them

[crimson inlet]

[rugged forge]

That bad?

[crimson inlet]

[hidden glade]

I dmed u

[crimson inlet]

well you'll get that DM

[vocal trout]

It means Sudden Trust Disaster

Oh hell no, this one is better "Surprise That Doesn’t-go-away"

[hidden glade]

I'm grating cheese

[high atlas]

hahaha, it’s believable at least

[rugged forge]

So I'm right.

[hidden glade]

Ye

[crimson inlet]

so it's definitely PG13 to say it too since if you don't know it, neither would they

⚾ Safe!

[high atlas]

well you can say the second two words, “transmitted disease” cant you?

[hidden glade]

Always protect ya self

[rugged forge]

And "se*ually" should work...

[high atlas]

and any adult can figure what the S is

[rugged forge]

Yep.

[hidden glade]

Or British teen

[crimson inlet]

they censor like that on the instagrams

[rugged forge]

Really?

Well, good that I'm not on there.

[crimson inlet]

well, lately they censor any word for no reason

[hidden glade]

I thought insta was rlly unhinged

[vocal trout]

Well yeah, think of the children

[rugged forge]

I don't do social media.

[hidden glade]

Same here

I'm not on much

[high atlas]

speaking of i had mention in memes and clips but it’s deleted probly cuz it wasn’t a meme or a clip, can i see what that was somehow? im too curious

[hidden glade]

I'm buttering my toast

[vocal trout]

The only way to see stuff like that is if your phone catches the notification

Or if you have a uh, chat logger or something

[tardy vale]

erm

what is up with the latest topics? 😅

[hidden glade]

Idk

[vocal trout]

Probably my fault

[crimson inlet]

it's just that Macs are overpriced

nothing more really

[hidden glade]

Who wants beans on toast pic?

[vocal trout]

What kind of beans?

[hidden glade]

Baked

[vocal trout]

Nice

[trim rose]

meow

[hidden glade]

Woof

[trim rose]

what's that greenish staff ?

[crimson inlet]

it's a reference to a discontinued app called Vine

[hidden glade]

Not beans on toast

[high atlas]

the most op one, makes you the elder

[trim rose]

meow

[high atlas]

woof

[hidden glade]

I just burnt my mouth on the beans

[rugged forge]

Well, that's what you get for heating them up in a microwave. 😄

[tough aspen]

or eating beans

[vocal trout]

Ugh, it would be so nice with some ice cream right now, maybe I should go buy some.

[tough aspen]

is snacks all you ever do

[crimson inlet]

Daim

[rugged forge]

I think "snacks" is all that kids eat today. 😄

[vocal trout]

Well, what else is there in life??

if I can't eat nice stuff, what is the point.

If I don't eat, what else to do?

[crimson inlet]

preach

[rugged forge]

"Snacks" is really just junk food.

[vocal trout]

Yes, I love snaccs

[tough aspen]

dr now will be pleased to meet you

[hidden glade]

I used a pan

[vocal trout]

I've met him 5 times already

[hidden glade]

I'm a kid and I'm eating beans

[rugged forge]

The exception doesn't change the rule. or something like that.

Bad translation.

[hidden glade]

Why do non British people make fun of beans on toast

[rugged forge]

doesn't change the norm...

[hidden glade]

I'm just special then 🙂

[vocal trout]

I would eat it

[tough aspen]

i make fun of beans in general dw

[rugged forge]

Beans... belong in a dish, IMHO.

But to each their own.

[vocal trout]

BUt there's many different kind of beans

[hidden glade]

They also belong on toast

[rugged forge]

If you like it, eat it!

[hidden glade]

Try heinz beans

On cheap white bread

[rugged forge]

I don't do industrial food.

[hidden glade]

And mature cheddar cheese

[crimson inlet]

Cheap white bread
love the description

[hidden glade]

You're life will change

[vocal trout]

Industrial food? Processed food?

[hidden glade]

That's what it is

[rugged forge]

Processed, yes.

[hidden glade]

90p loaf

[forest hamlet]

Beans in America are a typical side dish with BBQ or grilled foods. And they are typically made very sweet with molasses and honey and brown sugar. So to eat that over toast is weird. However that is an American view and not how actual Beans on Toast is served.

[vocal trout]

Can you even live a non-processed life?

[hidden glade]

If ya feeling posh you can use sourdough

[hidden glade]

Yes

With dificulty

[vocal trout]

How? Anything you buy in the store is processed isnt it???

[rugged forge]

No.

[hidden glade]

Nope

Just buy vegetables and meat

[forest hamlet]

Cheap white bread is the basis of many of the best sandwiches in the world

[vocal trout]

Processed meaning what exactly, pre-meals and such like that?

[crimson inlet]

Print that on a poster, what a quote

[hidden glade]

This

Try a Sunday roast

[forest hamlet]

Ill make millions! Ill put a cat on it!!!!!!

[hidden glade]

Or as the posh call it a "carvery"

[crimson inlet]

There's whole foods and processed

Whole = Vegetables, Meats, Dairy, nuts, fruits

Processed = everything else

[vocal trout]

Makes sense.

[rugged forge]

It also depends on how much it is "processed".

[hidden glade]

There is different types of processed

[forest hamlet]

Simple answer. Non processed is buying the ingredients and making it yourself. Everything else is processed.

[hidden glade]

There is ultra processed like the stuff pumped with chemicals then there is just processed like processing wheat to make bread

[vocal trout]

True.

[hidden glade]

I try to avoid ultra processed

[vocal trout]

mmm spam

[hidden glade]

Tinned tuna

[violet belfry]

Pan fried spam is nice actually

[rugged forge]

You can buy bio-organically grown food that is "processed" to some degree. Like noodles and such.

It is still much healthier than ultra-processed food.

[crimson inlet]

but none of that matters
what matters the most is that you move
if you don't move, a vegetable won't save you

[hidden glade]

It's better if it's not pumped with chemicals

There is a problem if you can't pronounce all the ingredients in the food

[crimson inlet]

Unless it's Daim Icecream
I don't care what process it is, shit's delicious

[rugged forge]

😄

[hidden glade]

I love chocolate too much to cut it out

[vocal trout]

Now I want to go to the store and buy DAIM products and then take pics of them.

And show DAD

[crimson inlet]

Aspartamine, give me that Diet Soda

[hidden glade]

I try to avoid it

[crimson inlet]

I probably mispelled that

*Aspartame
well, guess I can't have it

[crimson inlet]

Daim Tarta 😋

[vocal trout]

Can you buy DAIM yourself or nah?

[crimson inlet]

Not here no

[hidden glade]

I buy the massive boxes of it in ikea

[vocal trout]

Massive boxes of DAIM?

[hidden glade]

Ye

[vocal trout]

Are those the little wrapped snaccs or what form?

[crimson inlet]

🤔 wait a minute, I see Daim on Amazon actually

[hidden glade]

Like boxes of little wrapped ones

[vocal trout]

Oh nice

[vocal trout]

Yeah you can def buy Swedish stuff on Amazon, Marabou and all

[hidden glade]

I don't use Amazon much

[vocal trout]

Where do you get your beans from then? HMMM

[hidden glade]

I'm biritsh

It's in every local supermarket

[crimson inlet]

22Euro you get 28g x 10bars 🧮

[vocal trout]

What, 28gram?

[crimson inlet]

that's the normal bar I guess

[hidden glade]

Get the bulk stuff from costco

Costco hotdog and pizza

[vocal trout]

The normal are 160gram, they used to be 200gram but they started being cheap and making them smaller -.-

Because cocoa got uh,

shortage

[hidden glade]

Shrinkflation

[vocal trout]

Yeah lol, now the default is 160gram, sucks.

[hidden glade]

I kinda want daim now

But I don't want to go any buy any

[vocal trout]

But I've noticed all snacc types for these brands are getting smaller, even my fav KINA chocoale rice puffs

[crimson inlet]

well, I'll get it on my vacation
Daim McFlurry

[hidden glade]

The price of Cadbury chocolate is crazy

[vocal trout]

What does a default sized bar cost?

[hidden glade]

Normal size is like £1.35

They used to be 90p

[vocal trout]

Yeah

[hidden glade]

That's inflation from only like a year and a half btw

[vocal trout]

I remember all these years ago candy was CHEAP AF here.

SO CHEAP I bought chocolate bars in bulk.
A chocolate bar for like 6 cents, I bought 30 a pop

[hidden glade]

I'm not a fan on sweets

Only rlly chocolate

[vocal trout]

I used the excuse "I will use it for baking"

[hidden glade]

Want me to send u a pic of my baking chocolate suply

[vocal trout]

[hidden glade]

I think there is like 6 bars

With loads of chocolate chips

[vocal trout]

I havent baked in YEARS

[hidden glade]

I think ima do brownies later

[vocal trout]

Now I wanna make "kladdkaka" again.
Which is basically a fudgy delicious brownie type

[hidden glade]

Paul Hollywood's recipe is rlly good

[tardy vale]

don't confuse Kladdkaka with brownies 👀

it's like apple pie vs apple sause 😄

[vocal trout]

True haha

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall.

[tough aspen]

why do we greet him with beer and not coffee

[vocal trout]

Why not with a Monster?

[gray crypt]

Hey, I'm okay with beer.

it's five o'clock somewhere. 😉

[vocal trout]

Which reminds me, I need to get a set of monster emojis to go along with my cookie, milk emojis.

I wish I could use them here lol

[grim turret]

Beer is far more welcoming then coffee

[waxen oak]

Some herbal tea would be nice for those with gi issues

[vocal trout]

Only if it has sugar in it or else it will make you invert your face

Tea without sugar taste like BARK

[tranquil kernel]

Iroh: this tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!

[gray crypt]

and coffee is hot seed juice.

[crimson inlet]

Mmm... Grass juice

[waxen oak]

Matcha is "grassy and sweet"

[vocal trout]

swamp tea

[crimson inlet]

Ever tasted horrible matcha??
That is a disaster

[gray crypt]

never had matcha

[crimson inlet]

I had one last Friday that was so bad it legit tasted like palm tree branches (how I imagine they taste like)

[waxen oak]

Matcha is green tea shaded 2 weeks prior to harvest then pulverized

I think matcha is terrible but I love green tea

[vocal trout]

I'm considering bringing chips to bed

[crimson inlet]

Matcha is okay if done right
It's very sweet

Or rather, the trendy stuff is sweet

[vocal trout]

Don't forget to buy the PREMIUM version

[waxen oak]

Starbucks matcha comes with sugar yes, the natural stuff is not sweet, just grassy

[crimson inlet]

Brain fart

[vocal trout]

I wanted to do a joke that you had a bad matcha (bad match) but you literally had a bad matcha

Damnit

[tepid peak]

Hello my fellow milky way galaxy occupants

[crimson inlet]

"what's up my mammals"

[vocal trout]

OH YEAH, MAMMALIANS

Can I offer some... MILK?

[crimson inlet]

There's this funny doorcam video that goes like that

[tepid peak]

“Act as human as possible”

[vocal trout]

OH DAMN

I need DAIM MILK

[crimson inlet]

That exists???

[vocal trout]

YES

[tepid peak]

I have milk

[crimson inlet]

To the bucket list it goes

[tepid peak]

I use it with my cereal 🥣

[vocal trout]

Cereal milker

[tepid peak]

That sounds bad :/

[vocal trout]

There 😛

Sounds better now

[proven dagger]

Tell everyone how much human things you do each day and how very human you were born and such.

[tepid peak]

Food and water are so nutritious

I love digesting my food

[crimson inlet]

voluntarily? 😱

[tepid peak]

Do human mammalians not consume nutrients through their mouth holes? Is this… genetic? I must study

[iron basin]

amethyst, steven universe

[tulip mauve]

We bring the food to our nose and sniff hard enough / long enough to extract all the vital nutrients

[hidden glade]

Don't eat in bed, unless you're ill.

[rugged stag]

Ooh a random link

🥹

[proven dagger]

Let's click it!

[vocal trout]

Bed is the ONLY place I eat, snacc etc

[short yew]

But it's clearly a YouTube link 🧐

Mine don't get an embed so they're "random". No fair 😒

[hidden glade]

I eat at my desk

I have a pile of bowls stacking up

[vocal trout]

Wtf, do your dishes.

[fast trout]

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants!

[vocal trout]

Hell yeah, I would feed them snaccs too.

[oak heron]

Im so glad I wasn't pinged on every single chat on this thread.. 🤢

[crimson inlet]

pile of beans

[hidden glade]

that sounds nice tbf

a big pile of baked beans

[crimson inlet]

I don't know if I've ever had beans to be honest

I need to try

[hidden glade]

you do

[crimson inlet]

beans to me doesn't sound good
sounds... too bean like

[hidden glade]

thats what they are

[crimson inlet]

what are they even
plants?

[hidden glade]

i think the cheap shop bought ones are nicer then the heinz ones tho

[hidden glade]

good for vegans

how have you not had beans tho

just in general

i can name 5 different types of beans in my pantry

[crimson inlet]

I don't think we're a beans nation

maybe we are.. I actually have no idea

[storm anchor]

I like mixing beans with tortilla sauce.

[crimson inlet]

all I know is rice

[hidden glade]

there are black beans

like mexican stuff

and Jamaican

pinto beans

baked beans

[crimson inlet]

Bean Expert - Scout 🫘

[hidden glade]

i would like a bean next to the fire

[crimson inlet]

I don't know

beans in valheim when?

[short yew]

Anyone know how to disable the keyboard on a laptop?

[tardy vale]

black bean paste heim?

[tardy vale]

water

[short yew]

Specifically on an ASUS Gaming Tuf if that matters

LOL

[tardy vale]

sometimes you have a little tab on the side of the keyboard on laptops, so you can pop them off 🤔

[short yew]

Nah it's not detachable for me

[tardy vale]

ah ok

[short yew]

I just bought a new external keyboard and I want to place it on the laptop's keyboard

[tardy vale]

@wide lantern english only my friend. not writing 2 languages. Automod doesn't let you do that

[short yew]

But don't want it to press the keys and stuff

[wide lantern]

oh well thx mate, didn't know that 😄

[tardy vale]

np.
but read #rules-and-info and the little box in the LFG thread so you won't accidently break rules 🙂

[tranquil kernel]

Asus should have a little button up above the F keys, like with the brightness and stuff

[short yew]

Yeah I don't think there's one like that for disabling the keyboard

[tranquil kernel]

There is on mine

[fast trout]

A piece of 2"x4" on each side and plywood over the top, and voila! Instant keyboard stand.

[short yew]

Hmm

[short yew]

Can you DM me a pic of it?

[tranquil kernel]

I’m at work right now

[short yew]

Ok

When you can 🙏🏼

[snow lava]

Can you re-summon a boss after defeating it?

[umbral fog]

Yep 🙂 you need the same exact items for summoning

[scenic wing]

With one exception being the 6th boss

[hidden glade]

Merry evening 👋

[iron basin]

cursed thought:

[tardy vale]

To lock or unlock an ASUS TUF laptop keyboard, use the shortcut Fn + F11 or Fn + F12. If the Windows key specifically is locked, press Fn + Windows Key. Alternatively, disable Filter Keys by holding the Right Shift key for 8 seconds, or reinstall the keyboard driver via Device Manager

@short yew

[iron basin]

bronze atgier doesnt reach as wide as elder roots do

but what about stagbreaker 🤔

[short yew]

Doesn't work for me. But I learned that it's now actually better anyway that I keep my laptop monitor farther away 🙂

[iron basin]

gaming laptop periferals is an idea god didnt invent 🧠

[heady hearth]

Clarifying: 6th boss re-summoning items are an exception to "same exact items for summoning", not an exception to "yep, one can re-summon a boss"
(6th boss can be re-summoned, just with different items than the first go-around)

[tough aspen]

Just started building something outside and you'll never guess what the weather turned into 🙂

[fluid cedar]

Hmmm... sunshine?!

A tornado

[iron basin]

starred troll fighting an abomination

🔭

thank goodness the abomination won...
i don't know how to fight starred trolls

[frosty walrus]

like a normal troll but without getting hit, also you probably cant stagger it and it takes forever to kill because of the 100% health increase

already tanky enemies should get less health from stars

[hidden glade]

I have 10 hours on a game I got 3 days ago

I need to touch grass

[iron basin]

#screenshots message where should i dig a canal?

[waxen oak]

Maybe adjacent to the rock so you dont get trapped in water fighting stone throwers

[iron basin]

it's so surreal listening to viking drums going through the river meadows...

[iron basin]

fair point

[valid ginkgo]

where do goblins get the black metal from

sorry fulings

i can't stop calling them that sometimes

[waxen oak]

Theyre coded as goblins I think. Its magic infused blood i believe

[valid ginkgo]

an interesting idea

[nova locust]

what if there was a furling team sport

[waxen oak]

All love but why do some people call them furlings where did u get the r from 😂

[unborn quail]

they don't even have any fur 😭

[scenic wing]

Funlings!

Random though of the evening:
Wish more video games had more fall-colored trees, I want to see more red, orange, and yellow!

[waxen oak]

Seasons in valheim would be amazing. I have tried the mod and I do love it

[scenic wing]

I’m a huge sucker for landscapes, so that could potentially something I try one day. But even beyond Valheim- I I just want more colors
Playing Pokémon HeartGold, and there’s a section with these beautiful bright orange trees, and I just think it’s lovely!

[waxen oak]

Making me think of stardew, love that game

[violet belfry]

seasons would be amazing

doubt the devs would do it though

[scenic wing]

Yeah I think seasons are out of scope for Valheim. Would have to be one of those things that is in from the beginning I would imagine.

Would be really cool though, I admit!

[scenic wing]

Stardew is definitely in my top 10 games of all time, maybe even top 5

[violet belfry]

What are the others?

[scenic wing]

In no particular order; Valheim, Terraria, Zelda Majoras Mask, HeartGold, Barony, Dark Souls (1 and 2, not 3) and Eldenring, Dragons Dogma.

There’s more I’m sure, but I’m kinda spacing out haha

[violet belfry]

Definitely Elden ring for me too

[scenic wing]

Eldenring was insanely breathtaking to me, wicked good game!

[violet belfry]

It was my first souls game. My brother bought it for me and I slept on it for a little bit because I didn’t think I’d be interested in it, but then I tried it andended up sinking 300 hours into it straight away

[scenic wing]

Nice! I think it’s really cool how it attracted so many players to the Souls games, but also managed to bring so much more to the table for the long term fans. They managed to capture every aspect that defines a souls game, while changing the formula quite drastically as well. A very difficult feat to pull off, I imagine.

[violet belfry]

End game was a disappointment though. I hated Mountaintops of the Giants.

[scenic wing]

Definitely not their strongest area, I agree. Altus Plateua (how do I spell?? Lol) was 11/10, gorgeous area. Oh hey! Yellow trees 💛

[violet belfry]

I love Limgrave. The music is already nostalgic for me

[crimson inlet]

👏 great choices

[violet belfry]

Some of mine would be Subnautica, Valheim, Elden Ring, Perfect Dark, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64. I miss the 5th gen gaming era a lot.

GTA Vice City too

[rugged forge]

Morgen, Gjall. 👋

[tough aspen]

scrolled questionable instagram reels till 5 am, alarm set at 9 for work

[tardy vale]

and 1h55 minutes later, you join discord? 😮

[tough aspen]

its 9:59

[tardy vale]

I thought you shared future timezone with Joel 🤔

[tough aspen]

check a map smiffe

that came off ruder than intended lol, no I'm ready just waiting around now

[tardy vale]

Hm.. map inspection 🤔

I've been tricked by the wierd EU maps

[vocal trout]

Hello

[tardy vale]

monster morning to you to

[tough aspen]

If you yeet from some mountain in sweden with a feather cloak you could end up here

[vocal trout]

I just poured up 1 liter of Monster with some ice 😄

[tardy vale]

that's like. 3-4 cans?

[vocal trout]

No it's 2!

Each one is 500ml

[tardy vale]

just climb our highest mountain with a catapult and fly with the cape

[vocal trout]

They didn't have Viking Berry when I was in the store the other day so had to get 12 Strawberry...

[tardy vale]

12 strawberries or 12 cans of strawberries? 😮

[vocal trout]

As in Monster the Strawberry flavor 😛

[tardy vale]

but you bought 12 cans of it?

[vocal trout]

Oh yes because I drink 2 at a time so that's 6 days

[tough aspen]

are you speedrunning death

[vocal trout]

Haha

[short yew]

Any good mobile games for rotting in bed?

[tough aspen]

blaze color shooter

[vocal trout]

Hmm yeah, maybe I should take a walk to the store to get ice cream...

To get a walk

[tough aspen]

the walk will negate the icecream yea

[short yew]

What gives the highest adrenaline hit?

I think I need about 60 adrenaline to activate the "gtfo of bed" buff from my trinket 📿

[vocal trout]

Did you ever end up being happy or nah?

[short yew]

Well that's quite a question out of the blue lol

[vocal trout]

Well, you were really unhappy for a while it seemed

[short yew]

I'm alright

[vocal trout]

Did you ever figure out how to get the HD mod working?

[short yew]

Thanks for asking 👍🏼

[short yew]

Yes

It's great

[vocal trout]

Oh nice, was it worth it?

[short yew]

Yes

Very much

It wasn't really too complicated. Just had to figure out the right folder location

[crimson inlet]

games on mobile still can't compete with anything on an actual handheld from GBA era 🤨

so get yourself a nice bootleg device or an old handheld console OR a dedicated Retrodevice

[short yew]

Yes I was thinking of getting one

Maybe Steam Deck

[crimson inlet]

naw not that
steam deck too heavy

[short yew]

Wym

[crimson inlet]

I meant something like RG 34XX, something like those

or the SP if you like clamshell

[short yew]

Ah. Old school

[crimson inlet]

calling it oldschool is kinda unfair since it's miles better than playing on Mobile

they're actual games + perfectly sized for on the go and in bed

[short yew]

Yeah you're right

[crimson inlet]

how the hell do you plan to play some ungodly mega openworld shooter game in bed

[short yew]

I never had one myself but I think my cousin did and I loved it as a kid

[short yew]

Yeah lol

[crimson inlet]

or building in valheim on a steamdeck sounds dreadful, who knows

[short yew]

I did play some Call of Duty Mobile and it's kinda open world in BR mode

[short yew]

Yeah

Well I don't usually build much anyway

The adrenaline usually comes more from fighting & exploring don't it

[crimson inlet]

handheld needs games that are not mechanically intense and easy to suspend/easy to continue

[short yew]

Although building on the handheld could be a nice challenge maybe

Have you tried the more modern handheld like Steam Deck or Switch?

[crimson inlet]

switch yes

Switch definitely not fun to play on the go
too big, too cumbersome

smaller devices that fit the pocket is 👌

Switch I remember I didn't want to play at all on the plane
and the one time I did, I ended up playing Fire Emblem (GBA) which is a very lightweight game

[short yew]

I think I might prefer the more heavy duty stuff myself

I probably won't mind it being a bit heavy

Always liked the idea of playing open world games like Skyrim or Zelda on something like that

[crimson inlet]

🤔 interesting

I did play ToTK on a plane
it wasn't as fun

[short yew]

Yeah obviously it won't be the same level of immersion

[karmic locust]

Arabic player ?

[short yew]

But I think I just find it somewhat fascinating to be able to go into one of these games so easily just about anywhere

And maybe something more intimate about having that whole open world at the palm of your hand (quite literally)

[short yew]

Yeah he's from UAE

[violet belfry]

Got some screenies?

[hidden glade]

Lunch time 👋

[short yew]

Yes

I can send you

Maybe I'll share some in #screenshots (and get marked as by a certain individual 😏)

[tough aspen]

wait is it just one, a few of us do it

[short yew]

Right lol

I mean the leader of your army

[tough aspen]

me?

[short yew]

I'd say you're probably the second in command

[tough aspen]

who dares usurp me then

[short yew]

You two should contend for the title lol

Whoever gets to mark my screenshots with first 5 times wins

You still have to guess who it is though. I will not say 🤐

[vocal trout]

Meh I guess I should take that walk

I wanna see if they have my fav chicken wrap anyway

OH YEAH NEED TO BUY DAAAAAAAAAIM

[crimson inlet]

the "army"
i completely understand and love it

[vocal trout]

And show pics to Dad

Nah fuck it, no walk, I will only buy more snaccs and I can't even buy more snaccs...
Every drawer, cupboard etc is filled to the brim and now I'm storing chippies under the sink

[tough aspen]

will we inevitably be called to testify

[vocal trout]

WAIT, I will because they might have Viking Berry

Ok I will go now

[short yew]

Oh I forgot we have #mods-screenshots , It's modded clips we don't have a dedicated channel for

Ok purist army I concede 🏳️

[violet belfry]

Or mod screenshots

[short yew]

Yes I just said that

[violet belfry]

There's a separate channel for modded playthroughs

[short yew]

Is there?

[violet belfry]

#mods-screenshots

[short yew]

There's only #mods-discussion and #mods-screenshots afaik

Well I mean

It only says screenshots 🤷🏻‍♂️

We need a #modded-clips

[violet belfry]

Well I thought you were talking about screenshots

[short yew]

I was. Initially

[short yew]

Then I also said this

Maybe we should just rename it to #modded-media

[tough aspen]

but you can post clips in the screenshot channel too, ive seen some insane shiz there

[short yew]

Yeah

[violet belfry]

Well that makes it easy

[vocal trout]

Nvm I lost motivation already.

[violet belfry]

For what

[tough aspen]

his food diary

aka this channel

[vocal trout]

Sorry

[tough aspen]

nooo

was clarifying that you probably mean food and not mods

what demotivated you?

[vocal trout]

Guess in the end didn't feel like it :P.

@tardy vale So I can finally conclude the Brain Rot saga...
I finally tried one and they were.. VILE, DISGUSTING, tasted like super weak soda, water.
I poured them all out in the sink and now I have newfound space in my fridge for more monster 😄

[short yew]

... there's a drink called Brain Rot?

I guess that's exactly how it should taste then. Lol

[vocal trout]

Yeah, it came in like 7 flavors but tasted like super weak soda, so nasty and they're extremely expensive for 250ml...

Just a stupid gimmick

That hooked me on because I wanted to start collecting them LOL

[violet belfry]

Weird

I'll stick with red bull

[vocal trout]

Yeah, I will never buy any other brand than Monster after this.

[crimson inlet]

there was one called 6 7 energy drink as well
bought 2

[vocal trout]

YES

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall

[vocal trout]

I saw it on their site, a new one called 6 7

So its just a shitty gimmick meme brand

[short yew]

Oh nice 😃🔫

[crimson inlet]

2.5 euro what a waste
but a kid found it funny so it was worth it

[storm anchor]

Slept late accidentally wth.

[vocal trout]

Yeah, INSANELY expensive for 250ml but yet I bought like 48 of them???
Well they're in the drain now

[crimson inlet]

free money
the whole company breaks even probably after 100 cans sold because it's so overpriced

[vocal trout]

Yeah because you have idiots like ME

[crimson inlet]

and just buying it "as a joke" gives them enough incentive to make it

[vocal trout]

YEAH

[crimson inlet]

Maybe I'm an idiot too 🤓 but.. fun is fun

and it's definitely a one time thing for me

[vocal trout]

Same with chips, if I see a new flavor or something being called funny I buy it

[short yew]

Historians are gonna have a blast about this whole brainrot era in the future

[crimson inlet]

I saw all the brain rot sodas too but even as a joke I thought they'd taste like garbage

[crimson inlet]

I hope this is the worst it'll get
hope the next era is intelligence-maxxing or something
good luck next gen

[vocal trout]

lol

[short yew]

Yeah it's either that

Or total annihilation

Bright future for the planet either way I guess

[vocal trout]

HAPPY THOUGHTS, HAPPY THOUGHTS

Are you guys gonna watch Val-Con

[iron basin]

dark souls 1 and 2!

[iron basin]

minecraft bedrock

[iron basin]

i got a switch lite and now you're making me glad i did, it fits in my pocketbook

[violet belfry]

What do you think of 3? I have it but haven't progressed past the starter area.

[crimson inlet]

1&2 are their own unique style
Dark souls 3 and Elden ring and very similar
that makes DS3 become an inferior Elden Ring (Aside from story)

[iron basin]

dark souls 3 is very fun, i haven't had the time to sink my teeth into it, i've been too busy playing valheim *and minecraft

[crimson inlet]

I played through DS3 twice
if you liked Elden Ring, you'll like DS3... a bit less

[iron basin]

elden ring was okay
not excited about finishing elden ring 😩

[crimson inlet]

nawwww Elden Ring was GRAND

[iron basin]

i think ds3 might be better than elder ring impo

personal opinion

[crimson inlet]

I wish you'd give Elden Ring a second chance
it is beautiful
but if you like DS3 better, it's definitely valid

[violet belfry]

I find it's grand until the Mountaintops, and then the fun factor declines.

[crimson inlet]

I played through Elden Ring 3 times + DLC
one of the most beautiful games out there

[crimson inlet]

is it because it's disconnected kinda?

[iron basin]

thank you for the validation 🛐

i will finish it just not yet

[violet belfry]

Difficulty factor and the huge ass enemies are a PITA

[crimson inlet]

Souls opinions are never wrong
everyone is right

[iron basin]

ds1 poise with ds3 rolling is a lousy set of strats for me personally

[crimson inlet]

a few tweaks to the build and I'm sure you'll love it

it starts off by trying to be as strong as possible
then it turns into creating a unique character

[iron basin]

that is a very kind way of seeing it, even if i'm not sure whether or not i can agree

[violet belfry]

Did you exploit the chicken?

[crimson inlet]

after I got "good" at the game
I decided to only make my character the way I wanted
ended up giving him cloth armor, 2 maces, a bow, a dagger, and a seal 🙏
the ultimate cleric

[iron basin]

started ds3 as herald and elden ring as confessor

no regrets 😤

[short yew]

I was trying to get my filthy casual friend to play Valheim with me, even bought him the game when it was 50% off but his brain can only handle Rocket League. Then I later saw he was playing Stardew Valley on Steam and I was really surprised. Turns out his girlfriend "forced" him lol

[crimson inlet]

Me too
Confessor 🙏 Clerics is my absolute favorite in anything

a Good ol' mace and a book/shield

[iron basin]

cleric is my favorite ds1 starter class

[crimson inlet]

yes!
I did that with all the souls games

[iron basin]

mace my beloved weapon morningstar you misunderstood beauty

[iron basin]

i don't think ds2 cleric is a very good idea 🫠

[crimson inlet]

screw the idea
DS2 was the last souls game for me
went cleric

it was technically the easiest because I played every other souls game before it

I've been lied to when people said SKIP Ds2

so I did indeed skip it at first
what a mistake

[iron basin]

ds2 as last souls game sounds awful lol 💔

[frosty walrus]

I tried replaying ds2 recently, I've never got very far through it, I stopped when I realised the emerald herald doesn't respawn

[crimson inlet]

it was the MOST fun I've had out of the 3 Dark Souls

[frosty walrus]

whats the point of a level up npc if I cant test my damage on her? why cant I level up anywhere like ds1?

[crimson inlet]

actually, I'm not sure DS1 and DS2 are very close

[iron basin]

why are you hurting the main woman???

[crimson inlet]

ah it's been so long, I can't remember

[frosty walrus]

to test my weapons

[iron basin]

i think she'll come back you just can't keep testing damage

[frosty walrus]

I know about the graves, I don't want to be spending thousands of extra souls just to level up

[iron basin]

that's why you can get the aged feather from her to give to mr psychopath wizard

[frosty walrus]

why does she even exist if I cant hit her

[iron basin]

i think her grave has no penalty

[frosty walrus]

I should be able to level up anywhere

[crimson inlet]

No! 😡

[frosty walrus]

so she only exists to make leveling up slower?

[iron basin]

why do i exist? you can't hit me without goin to geal

[short yew]

I love Valheim's exaggerated version of that weapon

Porcupine

[crimson inlet]

oh you're talking "gameplay" wise?
well it's to make it feel like you're risking your souls
carry too much and too deep, you risk losing it all

[iron basin]

ds2 teleporting is very forgiving and majula is peak environment

[crimson inlet]

lorewise, I don't remember in DS2
but DS3 it's the firekeeper

[frosty walrus]

and in ds3 I can hit her as many times as I want to see what deals big damage

[iron basin]

ds2 lore is peak souls lore

[crimson inlet]

it's tough though
I watched lore videos many times
they're hard to understand

[iron basin]

nashandra you imp 💗

[iron basin]

i didnt even watch any vids for any of the games i just played them and talked to people

ds1 souls lore vids are misrepresentative anyway

[crimson inlet]

respect

[iron basin]

i forgor his name but ds2 ghost man in drangleic castle is peak lore source

then you have straid of olaphis he's cool too

[iron basin]

watch "dark souls 2" by hbomberguy it's why i played

[crimson inlet]

1:19:44 😱 all that I probably will understand 30% of it

[high atlas]

ds2 was the one where youd curl up like a little egg and the giant crow carried you around?

[crimson inlet]

I will do at some point
I watched so many of these long videos for the souls games

[iron basin]

unfortunately not. that was ds1

[high atlas]

oh ok hmmm.. was 2 the one with the super pretty beach home area?

[iron basin]

but in ds2 you can give happy invisible crow sisters smooth and silky stones

[iron basin]

yes!

[high atlas]

oh ok, yeah 2 was awesome

1 had its moments too but i think i liked 2 better even

[iron basin]

ds2 is mostly a better game but i think my heart is with ds1

[high atlas]

some pretty iconic moments like dragon bridge

[tardy vale]

so you tried 1, and poured out all 4? 😮

[iron basin]

i think someone has too much money

[tardy vale]

they don't cost much at all in our country

[vocal trout]

Yes, all 48 lol

When I bought them they cost 35kr each so like 3.5 dollars.

So expensive for 250ml!

[storm anchor]

I'm wondering if I'd like the taste of any energy drinks if I ever decided to try again. 👀

[vocal trout]

Only if it's Monster Viking Berry

[tardy vale]

"normal" has viking berry

[vocal trout]

Normal?

[tardy vale]

yeah. one of those wierd new chain-stores popping up

[vocal trout]

OH haha

Normal XD, what a store name.

[tardy vale]

well. it's from Denmark originally

[storm anchor]

I liked the taste of Battery+ Jungled during high school and at the start of polytechnic studies.

[vocal trout]

I ate a couple Danes the other day

Danish Pastries that is.

[storm anchor]

This one.

The visuals of the can have been changed since.

[vocal trout]

Nice also I prepared DIP FOR MY CHIP :D

[iron basin]

red bull is expensive but tastes good and comes in the smallest servings

the small servings are important because you don't want to drink too much energy drinks

i've pretty much put down all of mine by now

now i only drink coffee ☕ yum

[tepid peak]

Good morning my fellow Andromeda Galaxy neighbors

[vocal trout]

Good morning my fellow MAMMALIANS

Is it time for CEREAL and MILK?

Omg I had the greatest idea... Marinate meat in monster

[tepid peak]

It would be too sweet. You would have to end up smoking the meat

[vocal trout]

Since people marinate meat in coke why not monster.

[storm anchor]

I have not drunk any energy drinks almost for a decade.

[violet belfry]

Wise choice. They're so bad for you

[iron basin]

i'd actually recommend not going back, i might even recommend switching from coffee to tea if you can stomach the taste and ritual

[vocal trout]

Doesn't tea make your bones weak?

[frail pond]

I have to stop drinking coffee, I'm up to two cups a day recently and it feels like a bit much.

[iron basin]

coffee does so much other nasty stuff tea is generally better

[iron basin]

lightweight 🤣 (😭)

[storm anchor]

I made the decision at the start of my studies because I noticed old habit coming back.

Coffee is goto.

[vocal trout]

I mean, if you don't have a reason to drink it just avoid it.

[storm anchor]

I drink tea sometimes during evenings.

[tepid peak]

I got 2 months to loose 10lbs for a wedding so no sugar for me 😩

[vocal trout]

Wtf

[tepid peak]

Yep so it’s just me and tea for now

[iron basin]

glad you're not fasting

[vocal trout]

Why not gain 10 pounds and then say ACCEPT ME AS I AM

[violet belfry]

Nice. No sugar is one of the best things to cut back on if you want to lose weight.

[iron basin]

rare cookiemilk based moment

[violet belfry]

Sugar detox headaches suck though

[tepid peak]

I wouldn’t make it like that lol! Mostly I’ve been eating about 4 eggs a day along with other things to get me a decent protein intake.

[storm anchor]

I'm considering switching sweets and salty snacks to mainly grapes and popcorns when I start going gym again.

[iron basin]

popcorn is very salty

[violet belfry]

I take it you're drinking plenty of water. You need it with a lot of protein.

[iron basin]

but i'll admit it's cheap 🍿

[storm anchor]

It's bit better option than chips tho.

[tepid peak]

Salt is good tho as long as you have water too

[tepid peak]

Yep! Down 3 lbs so far the past 11 days

[vocal trout]

Why not combine water and salt for an even better ouput

[iron basin]

just like tea is better than coffee 🍵 ☕

[tepid peak]

Just a lot of restraint is needed because I REALLY want some chocolate

[iron basin]

if you drink coffee black without sugar it's a dieretic you might lose more weight

[storm anchor]

Dark chocolate? It has less calories than milk chocolate.

[tepid peak]

Not a decent brand near me. They all taste like doodoo

[iron basin]

my dad loves dark chocolate low in sugar. he's a weirdo 💗

[tepid peak]

Don’t give me ideas, the toilet isn’t fun

[vocal trout]

What do you mean it's not fun spending 3 hours experiencing Niagara Falls?

[violet belfry]

But that would be water weight, not fat.

[tepid peak]

You don’t just poop out water 😭😭😭

[iron basin]

#u#
i'll remain silent

[vocal trout]

Then after 3 hours you're like time to sleep from the brutal exhaustion

[violet belfry]

Well, you would if you had cholera

But I don't recommend that for losing weight

[iron basin]

mm what a delightful day in the valheim server general chat ☕

[violet belfry]

[vocal trout]

Bides are the best thing ever.

[tepid peak]

I’m going the tape worm method 🪱

[iron basin]

friendly tapeworm 💗

[tepid peak]

I always liked the idea of sharing food

❤️

[vocal trout]

So the tapeworm eats the food you consume or what?

[tepid peak]

Yep

[iron basin]

and then it supplies you with... something

mostly it just eats what you eat

[storm anchor]

Heh, we have one saying regarding tapeworm but it does only work in my language.

[vocal trout]

But then worm becomes fat and you stay fat?

[tepid peak]

I love how I always come in here and stir up chat❤️😩

[iron basin]

you're a celebrity!

[violet belfry]

what sort of exercise are you doing

[vocal trout]

Usually it's me. Smiffe yelled at me yesterday for bringing up a fun topic out of nowhere.

[violet belfry]

Actually yelled?

[tepid peak]

Experiments from the human species that are also mammalians

[vocal trout]

No he just said "can't I have a quiet Friday for once" XD

[tepid peak]

He will LOVE what I’ve said today

[vocal trout]

At least I'm not alone in starting strange topics

Well, it is General after all

[tepid peak]

This is the therapy chat is it not?

[violet belfry]

Can't talk about anything specific

[storm anchor]

Everything is fine as long it's not controversial topic.

[vocal trout]

One day I will order meat muffins for Smiffe.

[tepid peak]

I’m about to make a recipe Smiffe sent me

[violet belfry]

For what

[tepid peak]

I got these expensive ass lingonberries

To make potatoe pancakes of sorts

[vocal trout]

Smiffe meatballs?

OHHHH

Ugh so good.

[violet belfry]

We need a food channel

[tepid peak]

Having it for lunch and hopefully I’ll love it

The berries were sweeter than I thought and have a definitely foreign smell

[vocal trout]

But are you gonna eat the berries as is or do you mean lingonberry jam?

[tepid peak]

Jam, I don’t think I can buy fresh around here sadly

[vocal trout]

Foreign berries lol

[storm anchor]

Jamming with lingonberry.

[tepid peak]

It was $15 usd

[vocal trout]

WTFFFFFFF

[iron basin]

foreign batteries 🔋

[vocal trout]

15 dollars for some frigging berries.

[tepid peak]

Yeppers

[vocal trout]

Tourist berries.

[tepid peak]

But I got a good quality

[violet belfry]

Valheim food always makes me hungry.

[tepid peak]

Wanted the best for my first time

[vocal trout]

Wait... So you made the jam or the potato pancake???

[iron basin]

i contend they should make a valheim cookbook like they did for botw and final fantasy

[violet belfry]

Real Muckshake 🤤

[tepid peak]

Yea but I’m not too excited about them shakes

[iron basin]

makes you feel awake!

[storm anchor]

Sausages from great uncle's innards.

[violet belfry]

Pretend it's chocolate I guess

[tepid peak]

All three of my kids are now waking up within 5 minutes

[iron basin]

minty

[vocal trout]

Mmm uncles sausage

[tepid peak]

It went silent to full blown yelling in my house

[iron basin]

good luck

[violet belfry]

My sympathies

[tepid peak]

The audacity for Mother Nature to think I have the patience

[vocal trout]

Language is so funny.

Uncles sausage is sus.
Sausage from uncle is not

[iron basin]

sausage from uncle is pretty sus if you ask me

there's a reason america's first investigative journalism regarded the meat packing industry 🌭

[tepid peak]

English is fun ✨

[trim rose]

Some time in the future

[trim rose]

#suggestions

[rugged stag]

Why are you replying to me? 👀

[violet belfry]

Wrong person hahaha

[trim rose]

what are these oil things called in plains

[violet belfry]

I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said so

[rugged stag]

Tar pits

[trim rose]

yay

[violet belfry]

The blobs are easy enough to avoid.

[rugged stag]

and are often conveniently placed near fuling villages

[violet belfry]

It's always fun to kite over half the camp into a tar pit

And then have a "You are being hunted" event to take out the rest once I step foot inside it.

[storm anchor]

Or usually some lox spawn near enough.

[trim rose]

I like watching them duell just as I load the chunk

[violet belfry]

Blobs/growths are kind of adorable, especially that bobbing movement they do when they move around.

[trim rose]

I like how current plains mobs just hate eachothers

[violet belfry]

Cuz tar growths are undead faction.

[trim rose]

oh

[iron basin]

i love making abominations fight trolls and bears

free wood! 🪵

[violet belfry]

Aboms usually win over trolls, but only just, if I remember correctly.

[iron basin]

bear fought an abomination and almost won

[trim rose]

i verify your conclusion

[violet belfry]

I kited a golem into the BF to take on a couple of trolls once but it ignored them. I hadn't realised at that point golems are forest faction

[tardy vale]

bear basicly have troll statline

[zenith acorn]

valheim wrestling

[iron basin]

bears deal less burst damage so they're less scary to me

[violet belfry]

Viles are scary

[iron basin]

the dps is probably similar but bears don't have many 1hko attacks

[tepid peak]

The Smiffe has risen

[tardy vale]

I mean.. I don't work saturdays

[tepid peak]

So you really just missed us❤️

[rugged stag]

On weekends Smiffe is just another player

On weekdays he a community manager

[trim rose]

i thought smiffie made valheim

[tardy vale]

😄

[trim rose]

and those were his developer employees

[tardy vale]

I break valheim

[rugged stag]

He's partly responsible for Smiffeheim

[trim rose]

meow

[tepid peak]

Updates for the updates type stuff

[trim rose]

when is smiffie added to valheim

he'll be a good NPC

[tepid peak]

Smiffe should be a new trader in deep north

Only currency is lingonberries

[trim rose]

meow

[violet belfry]

Why do you keep meowing

[trim rose]

smiffie should be a valheim biome

[tepid peak]

He’s not adopted yet

[tulip mauve]

Theyre a cat

Feels self explanatory

[trim rose]

i never heard you snail before

[tardy vale]

don't think my family would agree 😄

[trim rose]

the back of my house has a complex road system of sticky lines

[tepid peak]

Potato

[trim rose]

why? I'd easter egg you in my games

[tepid peak]

Smiffe will be the new where’s Waldo for valheim

[tardy vale]

a new?

do we have one?

[trim rose]

smiffe for Norway prime minister

[tepid peak]

Rocks

[rugged stag]

Come back when you've googled where IronGate is situated

[storm anchor]

Aah.

[tepid peak]

I would vote

[trim rose]

isn't smiffe from norway

[tepid peak]

[storm anchor]

All Iron Gate personnel live in Sweden tho.

[trim rose]

google says it's located along the danube river

[rugged stag]

Comment is not matching the username 👀

[trim rose]

132 km?? that's a big studio

[trim rose]

ah meow

[tepid peak]

So we are all in agreement to go to Sweden and surprise smiffe on his birthday right?

[rugged stag]

I'm still waiting for my flight @tardy vale

[tranquil kernel]

I think the biggest present we could give Smiffe is to all leave him tf alone on his birthday and let him enjoy it

[rugged stag]

but let's be real. He'd be online for part of it

[tranquil kernel]

True!

[tired harness]

Hopefully not next to WaterGate... that would just be asking for RustGate.

Which I suppose could be used to make ThermiteGate..

[rugged stag]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-wtf-cat-huh-wtf-huh-cat-gif-17450980909222787557

I can get behind this 🤔

[trim rose]

dw smiff you got my vote

Alright, it's time for the dip to be with chip with me in bed.

[tardy vale]

Hm.. should I rename myself "smiffe, democratic leader of norway" 🤔

[trim rose]

I'd remove the democratic part

you go big smiffe

[storm anchor]

Just add "PM of Norway" title in your bio under "Valheim QA-tester" title.

[trim rose]

leader of Norway

[tranquil kernel]

It’s very democratic. We all said so

[trim rose]

oh right the way he asked us shows democratic skills

I'll develop a mod and replace every mob with smiffie

[unborn quail]

Finally got thru all the new messages on my break. I'd vote for Smiffe

Hi

[tardy vale]

hi

[vocal trout]

Oi

[tardy vale]

Oi

[tulip mauve]

Oi

[tired harness]

No.

[tulip mauve]

No.

[hidden glade]

yes

[tepid peak]

Hi

[rugged forge]

Wut?

[iron basin]

my irl friend will not stop insisting that "Hi" is the pronunciation of the german word for shark

[rugged forge]

It is.

We even have a German word play for it.

"Hi", "...fish", "Where?"

"Haifisch" meaning "Shark"

[iron basin]

my friend doesnt even say "fish" he just says "where?"

[rugged forge]

Yeah, but the joke is that one says "Hi" in the sense of "Hello", and the other says "...fish", to complete it to "Shark".

[rugged stag]

No Hi fish here (in my deck). Go fish

[rugged forge]

😄

[storm anchor]

"Hi" is pronounced how we say "shark" in Finnish (hai).

[rugged forge]

Yup. I'm surprised though, Finnish is like alien to us.

[rugged stag]

I mean... are y'all saying Hi Sharkie.. here pspspspspspsp" or something

[rugged forge]

No, it's just that the German word "Hai" (and obviously in Finnish as well) translates to "Shark".

🤷‍♂️

I didn't invent that. 😄

The Croatians say "Water dog" to "Shark".

[storm anchor]

Lack of relations to Germanic languages might be biggest reason.

[rugged forge]

😄

It's that weird uncle at weddings.

[storm anchor]

Hungarian/Magyar is distant relative language for Finnish.

Nice. And Romanian sounds like French.

Which I was really surprised of.

But yeah, Hungarian is REALLY weird. Just like Finnish.

[storm anchor]

Estonian is probably our closest relative language.

[rugged forge]

Which makes sense.

Pretty close and all that.

[storm anchor]

Then there are several Finno-Ugric languages that have less population who speak them.

[rugged forge]

What is Ugric?

[storm anchor]

Finno-Ugric is commonly accepted subfamily of Uralic languages.

...

I'm officially lost.

... in the space of languages.

[crimson inlet]

Languages are cool

[rugged forge]

I guess I have to "google" that. (I don't google)

[storm anchor]

This might help.

[rugged forge]

Not that I understand it fully, but it is helpful. Thanks!

It's funny that Karelian almost makes it to Moscow.

[storm anchor]

Yeah, it is one of the bigger groups that have no own nation.

[rugged forge]

TBF, there's quite a few sub groups with their complete own languages that don't have their own country.

[storm anchor]

Only Finns, Hungarians and Estonians have own countries, yes.

[rugged forge]

That's actually pretty rare, then.

[storm anchor]

Many of those languages are in under threat of going extinct.

There are some that have already.

[rugged forge]

Yeah, like Frisian in North-Germany.

There's not too many people left actually speaking it.

Mostly very old people.

[storm anchor]

We had one teacher in high school who was Karelian. His speaking Finnish sounded little funny sometimes.

[rugged forge]

Yeah, like a dialect. 😉

[storm anchor]

Meaning he spoke it well but some pronunciations were bit odd.

[trim rose]

are these the smiffe current conquered territories?

[rugged forge]

He conquered them all.

ALL!

It's like when a Bavarian speaks Proper German... It IS proper German, but it just sounds a bit off.

[trim rose]

[storm anchor]

Which might affect to my speaking English too.

[rugged forge]
