other-games

[willow bough]

but like i dont like the gameplay, like the stages thats are a screan big and you just move on with some magic

[digital hamlet]

dont you slander pizza tower like this

[willow bough]

what one?

[balmy mason]

and also base game rain world was even worse

[ripe leaf]

the screens not moving with you is completely evil and its great

[willow bough]

there is like 50 tetris

[drifting kernel]

the og

why is there 50

[willow bough]

idk thats just not my kind of game but I know a lot of people enjoy it

[digital hamlet]

ea owns it, that's why

[drifting kernel]

ahhhh

[willow bough]

that couldve been a hyperbolie but i know there is a lot of them

[ripe leaf]

tetris wouldnt deserve goty now

[drifting kernel]

70 dollars each year with a battle pass and loot boxes in the latest games I assume?

[tidal raven]

Im just gonna say it
I dont like (base game) Rain World cause im a bitch
Too weird and hard
And theres a overarching time limit, not letting me just get to grips with things

[ripe leaf]

rain world is a hard game yes

[balmy mason]

no its because it sucks

[ripe leaf]

thats kind of the good part about it

[balmy mason]

base game rain world is dogshit

[tidal raven]

I can see the appeal
Kinda

[ripe leaf]

is an opinion

[balmy mason]

true but like

[tidal raven]

Its just
Not for me

[digital hamlet]

hmmmmmmmmm

[balmy mason]

idk the game was mad boring whenever i wasnt mad at it for whatever bullshit had just happened infront of me

[digital hamlet]

foddian game player

[ripe leaf]

I love rain world but its also not a game that i want to play. i love the story and how you have to figure things out for yourself im just not good at the game

[willow bough]

85 tetris

[ripe leaf]

and yes i did try a lot before giving up

[digital hamlet]

i think you'd love noita

[ripe leaf]

I own it

[drifting kernel]

even worse

[willow bough]

i just looked up a list of all of them and counted

[tidal raven]

If I want hard, but fair
I have a few games to play

If I want unbridled Bullshit
I have Noita

[balmy mason]

calling rain world a foddian game is probably a wrong thing to say

[ripe leaf]

:3

[balmy mason]

game sucks

[digital hamlet]

it has checkpoints right

[balmy mason]

yes but also foddians are foddians because of the controls

[ripe leaf]

in your opinion

[tidal raven]

Yeah, My favorite thing about Noita is figuring things out for yourself

[balmy mason]

rather than everything else being bullshit

[willow bough]

idk my favorite game is terraria

[digital hamlet]

no that's a pretty significant part of it

[balmy mason]

uh?

[digital hamlet]

pogostuck

[tidal raven]

My favorite games... Uhm.. uhhh

The game ive loved for the longest time is Spore

[balmy mason]

ok from what i know, foddians are based off of games like QWOP and getting over it because of how they are controlled in a fairly uncontrollable manner while being skill based enough to where you can master it

my evidence for the qwop and getting over it claims is because they were both made by bennet FODDY

[digital hamlet]

that's part of it yes

[balmy mason]

as in FODDIAN

[digital hamlet]

the more important part is that there is no part of the game when you are safe and you can lose massive amounts of progress with the tiniest slip up

[balmy mason]

so yes pogostuck has other bullshit in it but the thing is is that it isnt something that is in the 2 building blocks of the genre

[digital hamlet]

it 100% is

[ripe leaf]

I cant say my favorite game of all time just my favorite currently

[digital hamlet]

pogostuck is textbook foddian game by your definition

[royal warren]

pogostuck and jump king are essentially foddian yes

[ripe leaf]

and my favorite currently is easily celeste

[willow bough]

oh nice

that game looks fun

[balmy mason]

guys im not saying pogostuck isnt a foddian game

[digital hamlet]

oh

[willow bough]

but i am just waiting for ultrakill to go on sale so i can get it for cheap

[digital hamlet]

misread a bit

[willow bough]

because i dont want to pay 25 dollars for a gaem

[tidal raven]

My current favorite games Baldur's Gate 3

[balmy mason]

im just saying that classifying a foddian game by being 1/2 unpredictable controls and 1/2 other bullshit isnt correct

[willow bough]

and i dont like paying full price

[balmy mason]

yes other games add other bullshit

but foddians are mainly classified by the controls

[ripe leaf]

the celeste experience

[willow bough]

geen

[ripe leaf]

[willow bough]

i got it on sale and the bundle

[digital hamlet]

getting over it is like 60% bs i don't know what you mean

i.e the bucket

[willow bough]

so it was like 20 for me

[balmy mason]

the bullshit is in the main mechanics and controls rather than outer stuff

[balmy mason]

that is like 1% of the game

[ripe leaf]

theres the getting over it celeste map

summit downside

[balmy mason]

i get that it is pretty bullshit but that is one specific item on the whole map

[digital hamlet]

it's an example dude
the rest of the map i would also classify as 'other bullcrap'

[tidal raven]

Same

Me buying a 50$ game on my birthday

[digital hamlet]

it's not just flat ground you need to travel over

[willow bough]

one of my freinds gave me a 20 dollar steam giftcard so now i just wait

[balmy mason]

the thing is is that the map stays the same

[willow bough]

because eventuly ultrakill will be 20% off

[digital hamlet]

why does that matter

[balmy mason]

usually areas dont really have a gimmick

[balmy mason]

because we were originally talking about rain world

a game that has almost no predictability and a constantly changing world

with fairly stable controls

[spare oak]

so true

[balmy mason]

so rain world is not a foddian from how we've classified that genre

[tidal raven]

Get Steamworld Dig 2
This is not a suggestion its a threat

[willow bough]

i had the first one on 3ds a while ago and i didnt like

[digital hamlet]

isn't a major part of rain world that the more you play it the more you understand how everything works

[spare oak]

rain related games

[balmy mason]

doesnt mean that the world stays the same

[digital hamlet]

it always acts the same

[ripe leaf]

I bought vampire survivors when it was 3$

[willow bough]

no i will wait for ultrakill

[willow bough]

ha ha i got it for like 2

[balmy mason]

you get into new areas and shit

[digital hamlet]

i bought vampire survivors when it was free on game pass

[ripe leaf]

without it being on sale

[balmy mason]

usually the only difference with getting over it is that its a terrain change

[tidal raven]

I spent like 5$ on Steamworld Heist to make my steam account prenium

[willow bough]

uhhhhhh well like its 2 dollars and i bought it for one of my freinds

[ripe leaf]

I got vampire survivors around when it came out and i have all of the achievements

[digital hamlet]

there's a bunch of things like the bucket or extremely annoyingly placed physics objects

[ripe leaf]

its 5$ now

[balmy mason]

but also like the first definition of foddian that you can find is a game that has 1 major gameplay mechanic that the player must master over the game's runtime

such as the physics of the hammer or controlling the leg muscles in qwop

[willow bough]

i got it before it game out and then i liked it because it updated every outher day or something crazy and i have also fully 100% the game on steam and in game, bu i only own 1 dlc because dlc is cringe

[balmy mason]

rain world is way too complex to be a foddian game

[proud wren]

game is doodoo

[tidal raven]

I also got vampire survivor
It refuses to click with me
I just
Fail to understand what makes it fun for people

[digital hamlet]

that's a fair point i guess, it is really complex

[balmy mason]

ong i actually hate this game to my very core

[ripe leaf]

the dlc's are good

[willow bough]

idk it was super addicdive and i love games with tons of secrets and stuffs like that

[ripe leaf]

the second dlc has a lot of cool things

[proud wren]

i played vampire survivors for like 5 hours and then lost the interest to keep playing

[willow bough]

i know but the idea of paying for an update is very stupid

[frosty yoke]

Boneraiser Minons gets wild after a bit. Great game though.

[ripe leaf]

hollow knight dlc and celeste dlc being free

[proud wren]

boneraiser minions underrated asf

[drifting kernel]

hehe

[ripe leaf]

theres a lot of games that have dlc's that are way more than 1$

[ripe leaf]

how. what did you do

[willow bough]

i can get the new dlc for vempire survivors for 1.30

[balmy mason]

depends on how large it is

[spare oak]

so true!

[proud wren]

so true king

[willow bough]

i basicly speedran 100%

[balmy mason]

something like the delicious last course for cuphead is 1000% worth the money

[ripe leaf]

just waiting for more achievements

[proud wren]

rainworld mods kinda go crazy but they've slowed down a lot it seems

[tidal raven]

Vampire Survivors feels like a luck check that plays like it was designed for phones
I wouldnt be suprised if thats the case
Theres -3% core gameplay
You just use a clunky screen joystick to move and shoot stuff

[willow bough]

the only thing i dont have is like 1 enemy that they added to the thingy'

[drifting kernel]

uhhh
5.5x10^10 golden eggs

[willow bough]

i dont want to buy dlc

[willow bough]

laughs in big trouser

[ripe leaf]

and then sammy released making grinding golden eggs way too easy

[willow bough]

my freind got vampire survivors recently

[ripe leaf]

I remember using the queen to grind golden eggs and then i got sammy and lost all motivation to do it

[willow bough]

i told him that queen sigma is best charichter

[drifting kernel]

sammy physically cannot use eggs after a point

[willow bough]

and then he proceded to use the cheats menu to get it insatntly

and i just like, my dissapointment was immesurable

[ripe leaf]

I dont get eggs on sammy but use sammy to grind money to buy eggs

[willow bough]

who is this "sammy" figure?

[drifting kernel]

you use sammy to get a few million eggs on trouser

dlc character

[ripe leaf]

worm from second dlc

[willow bough]

omg

[balmy mason]

these words mean nothing to me

[willow bough]

annoy

[ripe leaf]

if you turn on the leveling up after max sammy actually becomes impossible to grind with

[willow bough]

ohhhh so just like inf level because wird cat thing and like

[ripe leaf]

it lags the game so much its not even funny

[willow bough]

adn teh use just use that one arcana thaqt i forgor

and i need to spell beter

[drifting kernel]

disco of gold

[willow bough]

yes that one

names are strange

[drifting kernel]

wicked season + disco of gold + jubilee + sammy
sit back and relax

[willow bough]

seems legit

but isnt like trouser still beter because inf greed

[drifting kernel]

greed scaling doesnt matter after a point
lag and starting weapon are the things you care about

[ripe leaf]

sammy is for grinding the money to get the eggs starting off

[willow bough]

like you can just afk for like 200 minute run or something and then inf

[willow bough]

well i alr have like

[ripe leaf]

I dont care for grinding golden eggs though i have like 500 or more on big trouser and its so dull

[willow bough]

a million billion gold

i dont even grind golden eggs i have like 6

[balmy mason]

anyways what we've learned today is that nowhere patrol is better than rain world

[willow bough]

i like to play vampire survivors when im on a road trip but sometimes i get headache

this isnt even alot but its enough

[drifting kernel]

funny enough luck doesnt matter after a point
also yeah the game was designed to be addictive, the main dev used to work in the casino business

rng manipulation mechanics my beloved

[willow bough]

oh i lied i have 35 eggs

cosmo is probobly my favorite charichter tho

[ripe leaf]

vampire survivors is like a mobile game is mobile games were actually good

[willow bough]

yes but big headache indusing after 20 minutes

[digital hamlet]

glad it doesn't appear to be working on me then

[modern schooner]

Me either

[willow bough]

the comunity in vampire survivors is super helpfull tho

[balmy mason]

there is a vampire survivors mobile game

[willow bough]

yes we know

[balmy mason]

its just boring as hell after like 6 minutes

[willow bough]

but like just get steam on your phone

they should add actual co op because local co op is bad

[balmy mason]

i wish mobile games tried to be good

[digital hamlet]

you cant play steam games on your phone though

[willow bough]

cough cough vampire survivors cough cough

[willow bough]

what i thought you could

[balmy mason]

vampire survivors takes way to long though

a match is like what 20-30 minutes

[digital hamlet]

no just the steam deck

theres a way to do cloud gaming for xbox games but not steam

[willow bough]

cough cough hyper mode cough cough

[drifting kernel]

if you're thinking of remote play
don't.

[willow bough]

o

[balmy mason]

still dont care the game takes way too long

anyways pvz2 is a good mobile game

however its p2w and unbalanced

[digital hamlet]

pvz2 is garbage tbh

[willow bough]

why do you need to play a game on your phone if you are going to be playing for less than 30 minutes???

[balmy mason]

but there are mods that make the game peak

[ripe leaf]

15 with hyper or hurry (dont remember which one)

[drifting kernel]

you're not always waiting for 30+ minutes at a time

[balmy mason]

idk maybe you're in public transit and have like 5 minutes to spare

[digital hamlet]

because that's the majority of times you'll be playing a game on your phone idk

[willow bough]

its hurry you were right im kinda like dummy

[drifting kernel]

hurry

[willow bough]

but like just do something else for 5 minutes

you dont need to be constantly playing a game

[digital hamlet]

then nobody would play mobile games

[ripe leaf]

I just always have hyper and hurry on so i dont remember which does which

[willow bough]

same

[balmy mason]

this can literally be said for every mobile game

[willow bough]

exactly

[balmy mason]

why even be on your phone you can talk to the people around you

[willow bough]

idk i can do something else for 5 minutes

[balmy mason]

its just much more convenient to have shorter gameplay sections

[willow bough]

just like turn the wall next to you into a drum kit

[digital hamlet]

sts on cloud gaming peak

[balmy mason]

when was the last time you actually played through the campaign?

[digital hamlet]

i couldn't get through it

[willow bough]

i play games when i know that i will be having nothing beter to do for like 25+ minutes

[ripe leaf]

why talk to people around me when i could be on my phone

social anxiety

[digital hamlet]

every time i've played it just seems ridiculously hard

[balmy mason]

nah bruh you actually just suck ass 💀

[digital hamlet]

yippee spend money

[willow bough]

im not the kind of person who will watch tik tok whalst loading into a game for like 30 secconds

[digital hamlet]

i aint the best at strategy games

i'll admit that freely

but i'm also not gonna grind for upgrades

[willow bough]

who needs strategy when lightning reed

[balmy mason]

i never grinded for upgrades

[willow bough]

i liked the game before all the grindy annoying updates

[balmy mason]

admittedly i didnt actually beat the game i got to the last world and then lost incentive to play the game because i got a bit bored

[balmy mason]

even after it its still a decent game

[ripe leaf]

I dont like strategy games, and very much hate grand strategy games

some strategy games are alright but grand strategy games are a nope

[balmy mason]

the thing is is that you dont have to grind levels to do good at the game

most of the plants i were using were level 1

[proud wren]

you realize this is not true right

the gaming platform with the largest amount of players is mobile

[digital hamlet]

yes

[balmy mason]

but anyways there are many mods which fix popcap's sins

pvz2 reflourished is a good reimagining of the game

[proud wren]

people genuinely play phone games at home when they're bored

[ripe leaf]

and how many of them are just kids

[digital hamlet]

but the amount of players doesn't matter when most people play it for five minutes in between doing something else

[digital hamlet]

a surprisingly small amount

[ripe leaf]

[willow bough]

why do you need to do anything for 5 minutes is my thing tho

[balmy mason]

a lot of the gaming demographic consists of kids

[digital hamlet]

like 60% of mobile players are old people playing candy crush

conservatively

[ripe leaf]

being bored?

[balmy mason]

like i'd say that kids and teens take up most of the gaming demographic

[digital hamlet]

most of the pc and console demographic yes

[drifting kernel]

waiting

[digital hamlet]

mobile has the most people because of old people playing candy crush

[willow bough]

even then for 5 minutes just like sing your favorite song to yourself in your head or something, solve algebreic equasions or something by the time you load up the game your wait will only be 4 minutes

[ripe leaf]

if i need to wait like 7 minutes i just look at discord or something

[balmy mason]

some people just need to do something to chill or pass the time

i mean i definitely can get by staring at a wall or mindlessly scrolling through discord without any new messages but like

[willow bough]

its 5 minutes man

[ripe leaf]

you think i remember my favorite songs? 😼

[balmy mason]

and people can enjoy things??

[willow bough]

my brain dosent need constant activity

[ripe leaf]

how do people memorize song lyrics to awful popular songs and why

I have adhd i want constant activity

[willow bough]

i dont like popular songs and a lot of my favorite songs dont have lyrics lol

[ripe leaf]

just distract myself so i dont have to think about other things

[willow bough]

same but like

[balmy mason]

"solve algebraic equations" bruh wtf are you on 💀

[willow bough]

i like music so ill just like tap my feat or something

[ripe leaf]

my favorite songs are??? idk i have a lot of songs i listen to

[willow bough]

idk i wanted to cover a broad veiw of people

[digital hamlet]

literally nobody does that

[balmy mason]

autistic people maybe

[willow bough]

mine are like just every polyphia song

[balmy mason]

or like a student who is trying to do a homework problem in their head or some shit

for whenever some middle schooler has to take public transit

[willow bough]

on a bus i can get that

thats like 20 minutes

[ripe leaf]

or they just look at their phone

its a distraction for a reason

[balmy mason]

or hell maybe even get quirky and crazy and play a short match of a mobile game on their phone

[willow bough]

i am fighting an uphill battle here arn't I

[balmy mason]

anyways this is an extremely pointless and dumb argument im gonna go on a run now

[willow bough]

this all came from like someone saying that vampire survivors takes too long

[balmy mason]

it does

[willow bough]

for mobile game

[digital hamlet]

the same way i memorized the entirety of bdg's perfect pokerap

[ripe leaf]

this is rorcord the ENTIRE SERVER is pointless and dumb arguments

[drifting kernel]

[ripe leaf]

well thats based though

like theres people who memorize lyrics to these popular songs

[digital hamlet]

people memorize lyrics to songs they like

[ripe leaf]

popular songs that I most likely have never heard

[digital hamlet]

and people always like things that are associated with people they like

not always but yknow psychology

[willow bough]

i like instrumentals

[digital hamlet]

do you like face of the deep

[willow bough]

uhhh idk what that is

[digital hamlet]

voidling

[willow bough]

oh uh

you can like one shot him with merc its kinda funny

[ripe leaf]

the song not the boss

[digital hamlet]

yknow the song that starts off with the extremely loud harmonic minor chord

[willow bough]

ah

uh like idk what that is

no i like polyphia

ill look up voidling

[balmy mason]

very specific

[digital hamlet]

https://youtu.be/103F1YbbSv0

[digital hamlet]

yes, yes it is

[digital hamlet]

this pic goes hard

[willow bough]

voidling is mid imo

[ripe leaf]

what i mainly listen to is game osts and a couple of other songs

[ripe leaf]

music good fight bad

[proud wren]

game OSTs do go hard but sometimes they go a little too ham to be on my playlists

[digital hamlet]

why do people describe 'game ost' as a genre of music
like it has almost zero bearing on the music itself

[proud wren]

yea

[willow bough]

my favorite ost in ror is "you're gonna need a bigger ukalale" or however its spelled

[digital hamlet]

like, try to tell me ori music sounds like 'there's a bone in my spaghetti'

[ripe leaf]

its like celeste ost sj music, some rain world stuff, oneshot ost, a bit of the chicory ost, and some of the hat in time ost

[willow bough]

also rain that was formerly knows as purple and whatever the stunderd grove one is

[proud wren]

the entire GGST ost can go on my playlist though 🙏

[ripe leaf]

need to add more music to the playlist

[willow bough]

i like calamity mod ost and polyphia

[loud saffron]

THE GRAVITY OF ALL THE ANSWEEERRS

[willow bough]

and also some rhcp

[proud wren]

the gravity goes crazy

but i think requiem hits harder

[loud saffron]

requiem is great
too bad nobody plays i-no

[proud wren]

you don't have to play ino to hear it in fights

you can customize which character plays what song yknow

we're falling down slowly like snow led by gravity 🙏

[loud saffron]

yeah but most people ive fought just rock with default or some very specific song

[proud wren]

true

[loud saffron]

i doubt ill meet anyone playing black blank blah blah blah anymore
zato players going from in danger to nigh extinct species

[proud wren]

as a may main i have to keep it as default

gotta give my opponent horrid memories just from hearing the song

[loud saffron]

if you see any veterans, start playing birthday train

[proud wren]

never heard it

[royal warren]

i would like to say yes when you have 5 minutes to spare you should try doing nothing

you should try going to the bathroom or places without your phone and try doing nothing where its reasonable to spend time with yourself and be mindful and present

[loud saffron]

become alone with your thoughts

[royal warren]

its why the shower is one of the last bastions

[proud wren]

it truly is

[willow bough]

omg someone actuly agrees with me on this

[royal warren]

i mean i think a majority of people in the psychiatric world would probably agree with you

[proud wren]

it will fall once phones become truly water resistant

[royal warren]

anyone who doesn't agree just hasn't realized the value yet

its hard to fight the temptation no matter who u are though once you've fallen into the trap thats totally natural

[proud wren]

yea phones are specifically designed to capture and keep your attention

[drifting kernel]

oh boy i love
short form content designed to rot your brain

[royal warren]

similarly like if you're playing a game try to just play the game or if you're watching a vid that isn't too-too interesting just sit through the 14 minutes without clicking off etc

[drifting kernel]

HAHAHAHA

[balmy mason]

they would win though..

[proud wren]

who would win ?

[willow bough]

one of every pokemon

[royal warren]

some pokemon can hover without effort so the pokemon win

[drifting kernel]

NO DON'T
DONT START THIS

[tidal raven]

Oh god no here we go

[royal warren]

if you can hover without effort all you need is a lifespan longer than lions and you win

[proud wren]

instead of staying up until 3 am watching tiktok i stay up until 3 am reading manga

[royal warren]

There's no argument dont bother

[tidal raven]

The Lion-pault in question

[balmy mason]

the big cats

[ripe leaf]

I watched a bit of a video recently and then remembered it was 2 hours long and i was awake at 2 am so stopped

[proud wren]

nuh uh

[royal warren]

whoever thinks the lions win i hope has to fight a lion

this is a real and verifiable threat

[tidal raven]

Damn

This cat got hands

[proud wren]

bizz has some connections

[proud wren]

what a handsome little boy

[ripe leaf]

is this the lions vs the sun thing

[drifting kernel]

lions vs pokemon

[willow bough]

one of every pokemon

[ripe leaf]

well that one is also easy there are literal pokemon gods

[willow bough]

yea exactly

[ripe leaf]

I have not played a single pokemon game and the answer is obvious

[tidal raven]

The lions can summon the lion god using a ritual
Ez

[willow bough]

just eradicate the entire face of the earth

[willow bough]

oh sorry i forgot to account for that variable

[loud saffron]

who would win in a chess match
1 sun or 1 lion?

[tidal raven]

The Lion
The sun would melt the chess board
Which is cheating
Disqualifying the sun

[loud saffron]

true!

[willow bough]

hey thats what i was gon say

also what if the sun just wears a suit or something

that will probobly stop everything from melting

[loud saffron]

dyson sphered sun

[willow bough]

wouldent the sun just remove the entire earth so theirfore his opponent can no longer face him making him win by defaul

[tidal raven]

Removing the board forcefully from play is also cheating?

[loud saffron]

dont worry theyre trapped in a pocket dimension for our amusement

[ripe leaf]

the sun has not removed the entire earth yet

[willow bough]

is causing the heat death of the universe forcefully agenst the rules?

[willow bough]

ohh

just the part where the chess is?

[royal warren]

unfair to the sun alterations must be made

[ripe leaf]

chess is not fun to play

[loud saffron]

i cant believe sun got done in by the bulgarian gambit

[royal warren]

chess is one of the deepest games on the planet :^ )

[willow bough]

well the lion dosent have aposable thumbs

[royal warren]

the lion can make do

[loud saffron]

shouldve researched better

[modern schooner]

It can be, when your opponent is equally as dumb

[ripe leaf]

im not smart enough for it

[royal warren]

chess is like a fighting game yeah you need to find someone who is just barely better than you to practice with

[modern schooner]

Me and my sibling play it, neither of us know any more than the rules and how pieces move

[willow bough]

the sun would take a while to make a move because it took forver for anything to form around it

[royal warren]

you wont be if you've just decided that you're not

[ripe leaf]

i was like maybe 1k elo on chess.com like extremely long time ago and havent played in years

[royal warren]

the fact that you've played at all puts you ahead of most people in this discord probably

[loud saffron]

chess low crossup mixup into king tod (out of pocket)

[willow bough]

i play it sometimes and i like it, but i fail to think beond the moves that i would do if i was my enemy

[royal warren]

chess infinite (I'm timing them out)

[willow bough]

ok

[analog crypt]

Yea like people who think lions beat pokemon

[ripe leaf]

I have played 5d chess with multiverse time travel once but i dont own it

[willow bough]

hmm its proboly just going to be the lion that wins because it can think for itself the the sun cant

[loud saffron]

during your chess match, you must hit the opponent with a 50/50, then do a strike throw mixup, use that momentum to keep your vortex, then you get them complacent and hit the unblpckable pretzel input super to kill them

[willow bough]

well i mean the real question we should be asking is would you be beter off using a f-22 or f-14 to move the peices in chess

[ripe leaf]

UDREEEEEEEEEESH

[willow bough]

omg is that a reference to the hit game, celeste a 2d platformer game with multiple stages and a big speedunning community???????

[ripe leaf]

I have 450 hours in celeste and have not tried speedrunning once

[willow bough]

o

i have 0 and i have not tried celeste once

[ripe leaf]

its a good game

but the mods are actually insane in the good way

[willow bough]

but speedrunning is fun sometimes

the game that has my favorite mod is terraria

because modding is easy, and the mods are very fleshed out

[ripe leaf]

strawberry jam is probably my favorite mod in any game ive played so far and good thing it was really easy to install

games that are easy to mod are good

and i hate games that make modding impossible im looking at you minecraft

[loud saffron]

shoutout to neon white for being good

[willow bough]

my favorite mod is calamity mod because it makes the game difficult and doubles the ammount of content

[willow bough]

all my freinds are like "oh minecraft modding is super easy" "its probobly easier than terraria"

[ripe leaf]

I did the story in neon white but meh not speedrunning

[ripe leaf]

terraria modding: install tmodloader. done

[willow bough]

but like i dont understand none of that files stuff

yea ikr like it cant get any easier its like 5 clicks to satrt playing calamity

[ripe leaf]

ok hollow knight modding is fine until custom knight

[loud saffron]

minecraft on its way to have yet another schism and make a new mod loading thingamabob

[ripe leaf]

well you need magic storage and some other qol first

[willow bough]

yea, like lewi afk if you want and cencus and imk sushi but like

[loud saffron]

sodium is based tho. thank you fabric for making the block game not run terribly

[ripe leaf]

terraria players not wanting to play the game >:3

honestly the bosses and combat is the best part of the game..

[willow bough]

yes but minecraft has the disadvantage of being on microsoft store insted of steam making it harder to have a seperate game for modding the game

[ripe leaf]

minecraft on its way to have it so i cant launch the game

[willow bough]

exactly thats why i say that i like it beter than minecraft

[ripe leaf]

minecraft is not great anymore

it was good when it came out but now its just... eeh imo

[willow bough]

when i got minecraft i had to wait till 8:50 to download it because it kept saying that something was going rong on their end

[ripe leaf]

sure i havent been able to play for a year and even when i could play i just played hypixel skyblock but that isnt important

[willow bough]

before aquadic update it was amaze

but like we havent got any good redstone since then execpt target block, and then its just mob votes and having the comunity make desicions witch is bad

[balmy mason]

they have a problem where they’re not adding end game content

[ripe leaf]

its always had that problem

[modern schooner]

My mom’s boyfriend is trying to get the platinum for horizon zero dawn, and there was one hidden trophy he didn’t have, and I asked him if he scanned all the machines. He used the scanner on the machine he was actively fighting and immediately got the trophy

[balmy mason]

basically imagine they have a line which is minecraft

[ripe leaf]

minecraft also has bad pve and horrible bosses

[willow bough]

spot on

[balmy mason]

this line has points in progression on it from nothing until the end

[ripe leaf]

and its technically open world which as stated i dont like

[balmy mason]

they keep on shoving more and more stuff on the line and are running out of space

so instead of lengthening the line they’re just adding significantly less and less content per update that actually affects the game

[willow bough]

whenever i say that terraria is beter than minecraft i alwase try to explain how their is like 10x the bosses and they are all beter insted of just being a tanky flying enemy that shoots projectiles

and then they say, what about the ender dragon

and then i say, oh yea and they also get to heal

[balmy mason]

just making the game a crowded piece of garbage that you can beat in 3 hours if you kind of know what you’re doing

[willow bough]

yea

[ripe leaf]

tanky flying enemy that shoots projectiles and you can never hit

[loud saffron]

minecraft end game content:
elytra
(thats it)

[willow bough]

yea

[balmy mason]

they’re extremely different games but i agree

[ripe leaf]

building farms so you dont have to play the game or something idk i dont play the game

[willow bough]

yes that is the thing

[ripe leaf]

yeah they are completely different but terraria is still just a better game

[willow bough]

they cant exactly be compared because minecraft is good for its building and technology but terraria is good for its fighting

[balmy mason]

terraria has a massive amount of content and doesnt just hope you’re wanting to build or mess with redstone

[ripe leaf]

and if you want to you can build or do wiring

but you arent really forced to because theres so much more you could be doing

[willow bough]

i love redstone so much but mojang apparently just hates the redstone community because every time they add something its trash, and when its good its for a unintended reason

[balmy mason]

(there’s an end to the game that actually rewards you and feels like a conclusion)

[ripe leaf]

terraria has better combat more meaningful content but still has good building and wiring

[ripe leaf]

and then you can just install mods easily for a lot of content

[loud saffron]

heres where i make a starbound joke

[balmy mason]

this can also be said for like most games

[ripe leaf]

cant be said for minecraft

[willow bough]

i dont really like the wireing in terraria as much as in minecraft, minecraft gives you the tools to make everything, logic gates, lamps, elevators whatever you want, but terraria just kinda gives you everything and then you just wire it together

[ripe leaf]

the key word. easily

[balmy mason]

minecraft is probably one of the most modded games ever

[ripe leaf]

at least i dont have to spend 100 hours learning how to use wiring to make simple things

[balmy mason]

if not the most

[ripe leaf]

but its not easy to get mods for

[willow bough]

tmodloader vs like the 50 different ways to download minecraft mods that all have different mods and you need like 30 mod managers for every mod in minecraft

[ripe leaf]

terraria its like 2 clicks to install and 2 clicks to download a mod

[loud saffron]

java moment

[ripe leaf]

and thats it

[balmy mason]

the terraria wiring system is more based on practical use than minecraft

[willow bough]

yea some people like that but i understand the thingys so its more fun for me

[balmy mason]

which is why its easy to use

[willow bough]

yea i dont exactly like "practical use" i like to do random stuff

[loud saffron]

install forge for pure content amount, install fabric to get performance mods, fuck the rest

[willow bough]

yea

[ripe leaf]

I dont want to spend a bunch of time to make worthless shit when i could spend that many hours becoming good at a good game

[willow bough]

terraria install tmodloader for literly everything

[balmy mason]

then you like minecraft for its redstone more which is fair

they’re essentially 2 different things

[willow bough]

i like terraria beter

i just enjoy minecrafts building

[ripe leaf]

Im bias against minecraft because i literally cant launch it and its not fun

[balmy mason]

yeah but out of the two wiring systems

[willow bough]

but i like the game of terraria

[dusk condor]

MC wiring system is a different beast in its entirety. Terraria wiring is more of applications for convenience before bosses or during fights and MC wiring is about making high tech farms and circuits.
Two different methods of writing each with their own applications. Terraria wiring is limited because that is how it is.

[willow bough]

oh yea i just like the nature of minecraft having annother deminsion to work with

and also redstone is more complex

[ripe leaf]

terraria wiring can do some really silly things though

[balmy mason]

terraria gives you direct solutions to problems with wiring while minecraft’s is based on you solving problems to the best degree you can

[willow bough]

yeas

[ripe leaf]

and i like it being simple to pick up but hard to use to the fullest extent like wiring

[willow bough]

yeas

[ripe leaf]

redstone is hard to pick up and hard to use to the fullest extent

[willow bough]

yeas

[balmy mason]

you want a conveyor belt? buy it from an npc. you want a teleporter? buy it from an npc

[willow bough]

thats what i like about it

[balmy mason]

while minecrafts can really just be most things

[ripe leaf]

you want to build a fully automatic event farm that works extremely well? good luck 😼

[balmy mason]

they’re just 2 different appeals

one is more a quality of life thing and the other is just engineering

[willow bough]

want a conver belt in minecraft, thats simple just put a bunch of pistons with some stick ones and then make a piston extender to push the piston 2 blocks up through another hidden piston door to puch the player forwards then time a buch of them to push you forwards quickly and for a extended period of time

see simple?

[balmy mason]

or you could like

[spare oak]

[ripe leaf]

id rather have something be simple to use but hard to master instead of hard to learn hard to master

[willow bough]

yea but thats boring

[balmy mason]

hopper the item into a dispenser and then use ice

[willow bough]

huh

i thought we were talking about people conver

[loud saffron]

well you could also just

Water is the simplest

[willow bough]

but its slow

[spare oak]

It works though

[loud saffron]

build an ice highway and get a boat
not automated but fast

[digital hamlet]

create mod is cool

[ripe leaf]

terraria has steam achievements so its a better game. problem solved

[willow bough]

redstone gives you multiple ways to solve a problem, and some are more effiecnt and gives you a lot of freedom whalst terraria wiering is like linear

[willow bough]

mmmmm, plane

[ripe leaf]

like ultrakill would be a better game if there was steam achievements

[ripe leaf]

and theres no way i would ever want to learn redstone

theres too many rules and stuff it can do its too much

[willow bough]

ultrakill is gud

style points my favorite mechanic in any game ever

[loud saffron]

i guess one of the cool thing about minecraft modding is genre shifting

[ripe leaf]

devilmayquake.com

[loud saffron]

you can make an effective horror survival shooter in minecraft by getting parasites

[willow bough]

but like minecraft modding is to hard to do and it takes forever

terraria is like 5 clicks

[ripe leaf]

or... play a horror survival shooter....

[loud saffron]

no

too expensive, plus most lack multiplayer

[ripe leaf]

uhh theres gtfo i think

[balmy mason]

download curseforge

[loud saffron]

it is very funny to hear your friend in vc go from cheery to screaming

[balmy mason]

install a modpack

[ripe leaf]

i dont have a friend

[balmy mason]

play the modpack

[loud saffron]

gtfo is a bit too much of a commitment

[ripe leaf]

smirk car emoji :3

[willow bough]

curseforge is on a 3rd party thing that is sus and i dont like

tmod is on steam

[ripe leaf]

you install a modpack?

terraria you get to pick every mod you want to use

[loud saffron]

also requires having friends with coordination capabilities

[ripe leaf]

friends...? plural? nuh uh

you know how they could make minecraft good

put it on steam, make it easy to mod, and actually add good content

[drifting kernel]

tmod also wasn’t on steam for a very long time
Minecraft also isn’t on steam, why would steam workshop be used for a non-steam game

[balmy mason]

minecraft modpacks are coordinates mixtures of mods that are crafted to have questlines and actually meld the mods together

[ripe leaf]

even when tmod wasnt on steam it wasnt hard to use

[drifting kernel]

Exactly

[ripe leaf]

i used it before it was on steam and the only difference is you had to download it before you could download the mods

[willow bough]

why dont they just put every game on steam

[balmy mason]

you installing thorium, mod of redemption, calamity, joost and fargo's souls just gets you a unbalanced piece of garbage

[ripe leaf]

sounds like i could just play a different game though

[loud saffron]

cuz not everyone likes the idea of having a revenue split with valve

[drifting kernel]

Companies want as much money as possible, steam takes a cut

[ripe leaf]

unbalanced? like me

[drifting kernel]

Also blah blah monopolies

[willow bough]

ok but like microsoft store is mid

[loud saffron]

especially not if the game is owned by a company with their own storefront

[ripe leaf]

but they could have it on steam and their own store

[willow bough]

grrr why does steam have to be greedy like all the outher companys

[balmy mason]

no like the only weapons that would deal significant damage would be from calamity and every other mod's bosses would just feel weak

[willow bough]

thats exactly why they arnt on steam

[ripe leaf]

look at my username

[loud saffron]

like origin games selling on steam but havint you install origin (ASSHOLES)

[willow bough]

is because they want all the money from their game and give none to steam

[drifting kernel]

Welcome to capitalism

[balmy mason]

companies prefer money over their buyers

[willow bough]

calamity fixed that problem where have you been

they nerfed literly everything

[loud saffron]

thank you activision for selling old cod games with hackers up the whazoo, but striking down unofficial server browsers

[balmy mason]

i literally dont care calamity sucks ass anyways lmao

[ripe leaf]

calamity is good just a bit overrated now

[willow bough]

omgosh do you play like clasic mode on terraria because expert is too hard?????

[balmy mason]

also do you think i've been playing a lot i mentioned a mod that's currently in demo and joost has totally not been ported to 1.4

[balmy mason]

i've literally beat fargo's souls eternity mode lmao

[loud saffron]

atleast calamity isnt frackin universe

[loud saffron]

thats a good plus

[ripe leaf]

I beat fargo's souls mod eternity mode while using a item randomizer it was really fun

[balmy mason]

yeah but like

[willow bough]

ok but like why dont you like calamity then

also fargos souls eternity is easy

[ripe leaf]

and no i wont do it without a item randomizer the crafting is too much

[proud wren]

do you live under a rock

the people who play calamity are very 50/50 on the mod

[willow bough]

i like calamity for death mode

[balmy mason]

its horribly balanced, the bosses are mid, the community is trash

[ripe leaf]

its boring now

[willow bough]

and also like +100% content

[proud wren]

many people fucking worship it (me) and some people hate it

[balmy mason]

basicaly the only good thing about calamity is the music because dm dokuro popped off

[ripe leaf]

literally infernum mode is better calamity and guess what it didnt work for me

[willow bough]

how is it bad, it has so much content, so good sountrack, so difficult difficulty

[balmy mason]

too bad that the community harassed him out of it

[ripe leaf]

and then the community got him to leave

[balmy mason]

i was about to mention infernum

[balmy mason]

bro has NOT heard of quality over quantity

[ripe leaf]

infernum was great until i played multiplayer and it literally didnt work at all

[drifting kernel]

Quantity ≠ quality

[balmy mason]

also the idea that increasing projectile speed and damage isnt fun dificulty

[loud saffron]

lawful good (starstorm)
neutral evil (calamity)
chaotic evil (frackin universe)

[proud wren]

did you try it recently

cause infernum broke a little bit recently

[ripe leaf]

chaotic good (joost mod)

[willow bough]

i am the kind of person who thinks that they shouldent of removed malice mode oke man like i dont play it because it offers the best content

[balmy mason]

malice was god awful

[ripe leaf]

nah I have been burnt out on terraria

[proud wren]

and also you have to generate the world on large for the structures

[balmy mason]

actually such a disappointment

[ripe leaf]

I literally had to play only death mode and even that isnt that hard

[balmy mason]

honestly my bad for having high expectations for fabsol

[willow bough]

malice was that like crazy difficulty that i wanted,

[ripe leaf]

so infernum was actually hard with cooler boss fights (DoG)

calamity gud

[balmy mason]

calamity mid af

[ripe leaf]

calamity is good but just overhyped now

[willow bough]

eternity mode with calamity very gud

[balmy mason]

you disgust me

[ripe leaf]

they keep nerfing things. who cares about the balance

[willow bough]

kinda breaks base game bosses

[loud saffron]

clammy could be much better but it could be much worse
so much worse

[balmy mason]

its almost like they weren't supposed to be mixed 🤔

[willow bough]

why do you like ultrakill then they literly nerf everythinng overpowerd into oblivian because they dont want people to be able to abuse it

[willow bough]

hmmm strange how that works

[ripe leaf]

I havent played calamity since the biomes got changed

[balmy mason]

god its like im back in #terraria-modded

[proud wren]

they removed yharon's second phase and that was like the most unique thing about the fight

[ripe leaf]

what like the one shotting bosses weapon????

[balmy mason]

true its duke

[willow bough]

like the grappel thingy

and they added the gray heath

[ripe leaf]

IT WAS A GOOD CHANGE??

[willow bough]

ok that i am annoy

[proud wren]

yea basically faster duke fishron who is easier than the old duke

[ripe leaf]

people could just abuse the grapple to play in a unskilled way

also with ultrakill its the base game so keeping balance is good

[proud wren]

but not fun

[ripe leaf]

calamity is a mod

[willow bough]

but you like people abusing things in claamity in a unskill way?

[balmy mason]

the only thing good about the fight is the theme and even then it makes me think of calamity players whenever i hear it which makes me cringe

[ripe leaf]

its the same thing except you have to think before using it

[loud saffron]

plus they rebuffed the hooks to be less restrictive

its fine now

[proud wren]

do you think ultrakill players really like thinking

[balmy mason]

no

[drifting kernel]

Sisyphus
Literally

[ripe leaf]

I play ultrakill and yeah its fun to have to actually play well and not just grapple to things and win

[willow bough]

yes like, do i have a coin ready so i can get a style quickly

[ripe leaf]

coin punch slab railcoin add

[willow bough]

i think they should nerf nailgun tho

[ripe leaf]

I use saws

[willow bough]

coin is one of my fav mechanic

[drifting kernel]

I forget to even use saw / nailgun

Only time I actually remember is trap-setting

[ripe leaf]

i go double saw because i dont like the nailgun that much

[balmy mason]

i havent touched ultrakill since they added sisyphus

[proud wren]

i don't even have the saw

[ripe leaf]

P-2 is good

[balmy mason]

i dont think i do either

[willow bough]

but like i kinda suck at ultrakill so like i never land anything on a coin that isnt a marksman revolver shot

[balmy mason]

you wont make me get the p ranks

[ripe leaf]

its really good

im bias.

[willow bough]

i only have demo because

[proud wren]

idc how good p-2 is im not getting all p ranks legitimately

i just used someone else's save file

[willow bough]

im cheap and dont want to pay for the main game full price

[ripe leaf]

ive P ranked everything

including P-2 which wasnt worth it but oh well

[balmy mason]

i dont care if its good i just dont wanna do the p ranks

[proud wren]

https://tenor.com/view/lazytown-gif-8405160

[ripe leaf]

the P ranks arent that bad

[balmy mason]

i havent touched the game in a year

[ripe leaf]

the only levels i havent tried to improve my times on is like P-1 and act 2 bosses

[proud wren]

but they are cause i have to look half of them up on youtube

[ripe leaf]

every steam friend i have is apparently good at bosses while im not

[balmy mason]

i think i looked one up because i kept on missing an enemy

[ripe leaf]

you literally just go fast and kill every enemy

[willow bough]

ive P ranked 3 of the stages in the demo after like 4 hours

[willow bough]

and do it with style

[ripe leaf]

thats ultrakill yeah

P-2 P rank was not worth it btw dont ever do it

[willow bough]

i literly like do 360s and stuff in outher games because i find it more satisfying

[balmy mason]

i think ultrakill is cool but i have started to resent it because of the community

its just everywhere

[willow bough]

i dont like to think to much about the comunity in single player games

[ripe leaf]

its a good game im glad its popular

[balmy mason]

yeah but the community is like

[ripe leaf]

also you dont have to interact with the community at all so..

its a single player game

its like hating on rain world because you dont like the community

[willow bough]

its in games like cod ans stuf where i am forces to interact with them and the community is full of the worst kind of people that i have the problem with

[ripe leaf]

valorant.

[willow bough]

phantom forces

[ripe leaf]

isnt that a roblox game

[willow bough]

almost every fps game ever

[willow bough]

yes you got a problem with that?

[balmy mason]

i hate rain world players

[ripe leaf]

catboy pebbles

[balmy mason]

oh yeah big fps game players are like 90% racists

[ripe leaf]

real art

[balmy mason]

or valorant players

[ripe leaf]

no i was just pointing it out

[willow bough]

o

[ripe leaf]

theres like a couple good roblox games but im never playing roblox again

[willow bough]

roblox comunity sucks

[balmy mason]

oh yeah no probably arguably the worst community online

[willow bough]

and you have to sift through a lot of garbage

[balmy mason]

a lot of bigotry

the company is garbage

a lot of the games are cashgrabs

[willow bough]

yea did you see the thing with the trading comunitys reaction to the new make a wish dominuses?

[balmy mason]

also the predators

[balmy mason]

was about to mention that

its really fucked

[ripe leaf]

i only interact with like the ror community, celeste community to an extent, and drg community but only in non-drg-chat

[willow bough]

yea roblox comunity sucks so much but there is like 2 good people or something every 100 times yoyu play the game

[balmy mason]

they fucking doxxed a make a wish cancer survivor who got a special hat in game

[willow bough]

i interact with ror, totk, and to some extent phantom forces but agen they suck execpt for like 2 ppl

[willow bough]

and then makes death threats to annother

[ripe leaf]

when i say the celeste community its not the entire community but more of like celeste streams and stuff like that

I rarely interact with the oneshot community but its good

[willow bough]

yea the trading comunity on roblox is the worst of the bunch]

[frosty yoke]

Slowly growing the plushy collection.

[hoary thistle]

Some good advice is too never befriend random people in something like Roblox, just get a group of friends together and play with them.

Honestly if your playing an online game it’s always best with friends.

it's the perfect food for bulking

[balmy mason]

38g of protein

[proud wren]

but look at all those calories

[frosty yoke]

Damn, thats getting those numbers up for sure.

[balmy mason]

like you could drink that across like 2 weeks and it still would be unhealthy

[frosty yoke]

Atleast its got some Vitamin C right? I think that balances it out.

[balmy mason]

calcium

strong bones for when your teeth disintegrate

[proud wren]

one spoonful would make me gain a pound

[small glacier]

That has more than twice as many grams of sugar as I try to eat total grams of non-vegetable carbs in a day

Breads, pastas, grains, sugars, all of that

[frosty yoke]

Yea, that sugar is insane.

[balmy mason]

you reminded me that i should try celery and peanut butter

[frosty yoke]

Can of soda is like what, 40-50g?

[balmy mason]

i was gonna do that and i forgor

[balmy mason]

holy shit that's a fuck ton

[small glacier]

Yeah, and as such I limit myself to like 1 soda a month, that’s super high sugar for one beverage

[balmy mason]

a coke can is 39 g

[small glacier]

How about 6x that lol

[balmy mason]

the % is how much you should have per day

that's fucked

[frosty yoke]

I just cut soda out all together. Shit is death.

[balmy mason]

soda and fries

[small glacier]

Not so, there’s more!

It’s based off of an old and objectively bad nutrition chart!

Basically nutrition facts labels are near worthless

[balmy mason]

awesome

[frosty yoke]

Ants on a log.

[small glacier]

You can tell how bad it is for you and that’s it, pretty much anything healthy is like vegetables and meat and whatnot with no real info on the labels

[balmy mason]

i only drink sugar free soda but even then its only occasionally

[small glacier]

Even sugar free soda’s unhealthy most of the time

[balmy mason]

like maybe like 2-4 cans a month

yeah no they definitely just have the artificial sugar which is exactly the same

[small glacier]

The only sodas I consider “healthy” are the stevia sweetened ones, and those taste super different from normal soda so a lot of people don’t like them

But yeah trying to eat healthy in America is like trying to eat in North Korea

[frosty yoke]

W A T E R

[balmy mason]

water needs ice for me to drink it ong

luke warm water is a nuh uh for me

[frosty yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-water-drink-drink-water-u-idiot-cute-gif-26510085

[balmy mason]

i will but im currently procrastinating on my homework

[small glacier]

America has this fun thing where the least healthy foods are also the tastiest and cheapest, and everyone here is poor so that’s what people buy, and so the healthy foods need to charge more to keep existing at all without economy of scale

[frosty yoke]

But seriously, water is def the way to go. If you cant do straight water, get he lil flavor packs or w/e. Just dont make it a habit.

[small glacier]

I’ve started compiling a recipe book on my phone of things that are cheap to make, reasonably healthy, and actually taste good

There are like half a dozen recipes on it because getting all three is near impossible

[frosty yoke]

Dont forget portion sizing too. Youll get wayyyyy less heathy foods. Theres normally a much smaller selection unless you goto a specialty store that jacks that price way up there.

[small glacier]

I get a lot of mileage out of one wonton soup recipe, there’s a brand of wontons I like that has super thin breading and is mostly meat and vegetables, so I basically just make a broth, add tons of cheap vegetables like onions, some eggs for protein, bam, good and healthy soup that’s like $2/serving

[frosty yoke]

Soup is a great way to go as long as you watch the salt. Hell, I grew up on soup and bread.

[small glacier]

I have this one salt I love that’s got trinidad scorpion peppers mixed in, doesn’t take much to flavor a whole pot of soup, keeps the sodium down

Spent a hundred bucks on this bag but it lasts forever

[frosty yoke]

Well God damn. Everything in moderation I suppose. Spicy salt.

[proud wren]

love it when my food product has the word venom on it

[frosty yoke]

😋

[small glacier]

Spice is a heck of a drug

[proud wren]

it sure is

[small glacier]

You need more and more to chase that same kick

[proud wren]

not nearly as good as sour

gonna buy a weeks worth of those one chip challenge chips and make myself the most heat tolerant human

[small glacier]

Sour doesn’t really work in soups I think

[proud wren]

i don't think so either

the closest you can get to sour is probably tangy

[small glacier]

And tangy soups tend to have a lot of sugar

I think, I made that up out of thin air

But tangy is like both sweet and sour at once, right? And the sweet has to come from somewhere

[frosty yoke]

I hate you because I am probably going to pick up one of these flavors now lol. Not one of those specifically but there are plenty to choose from.

[modern schooner]

I have drank basically nothing but water and the occasional cup of oj since June

I decided to quite drinking soda on a whim, and it was not even hard

And the only other drink we have around the house all the time is milk, and I’m lactose intolerant

[dusk condor]

You have become gluttony, the destroyer of sugary soda.

[modern schooner]

I wanna see about getting soy milk to have around all the time, because estrogen 👍

[dusk condor]

That is a pretty based take and I agree.

[frosty yoke]

I stopped last year. Just coffee in the morning, a liquid IV packet during the day, and then mostly water. Oh and tea, cant forget tea. Feel a lot better after dropping soda.

[modern schooner]

I have always hated coffee and therefore never had to drop it

Tea is yummy, but I would always put large amounts of sugar in mine when I used to have it all the time

I ought to try it again with less/no sugar

[frosty yoke]

Sugar is rough to drop.

[modern schooner]

I have a hell of a sweet tooth

[frosty yoke]

Same, but I had to force it. Teeth issues mainly. But now, I feel tons better without it. Once in awhile is nice of course.

[modern schooner]

I feel the easiest place for me to start getting off sugar would probably be to just stop eating sweets all the time, which I could probably do

[frosty yoke]

Yea, sweets and candy would be good starting point. I would take it slow, maybe just cut portions down at first? That way you dont feel a need to compensate for what you wind up missing. If that makes sense

[modern schooner]

I felt no need to compensate with soda, maybe I’ll get lucky and be the same with sweets

[frosty yoke]

Heres hoping!

[modern schooner]

Right, no sweets for Hazel tomorrow

And on that note, I need to go to bed, it is an hour past my bedtime and I have to dog sit tomorrow

[frosty yoke]

Rest well!

[modern schooner]

Thanks, you too

[frosty yoke]

[proud wren]

water is good for your skin too 🙏

water is simply too good to not drink

the only reason not to drink water is because '"it lacks flavor" which isn't even that true

[frosty yoke]

Throw some fruit in there.

[analog crypt]

Put some electrolyte powder into it

[small glacier]

Shipping’s pretty expensive for these from their site, might check to see if the flavor you want is on Amazon

Awesome salt, worth every penny, just a heads up

[frosty yoke]

22 bucks for a 3 ounce on Amazon.

[balmy mason]

that song goes so unbelievably hard

[wispy loom]

[balmy mason]

nah its fine 4 hours of sleep and coffee is enough

[wispy loom]

the 1am workout truly is schizo

[balmy mason]

he doesnt know about the 4 am workout

[wispy loom]

are you ok

[balmy mason]

usually

im better than i was this morning

[wispy loom]

uh huh

[proud wren]

he doesn’t know about the secret 5am workout

[ripe leaf]

FUCK

[small glacier]

Going to bed after midnight because Xenoblade 3 looked like it was just about over at 10:50 PM, I decided “alright I’m on the second phase of the final boss this shouldn’t take long”, and then about ten phases later I’m watching the credits at 12:08 AM

One would think I would learn my lesson from the other super long boss fights

[wispy loom]

can't believe they made fallout 4 2

[half zinc]

cant believe its good

[wispy loom]

meh, I'd pirate it if I could run it

[half zinc]

understandable

[balmy mason]

i havent walked into those depths yet

[frosty yoke]

I must be lucky as hell cause I havent personally experienced any of this.

I will say they do still have the issue of killing people and getting a bounty, and despite you clearing out the whole squad and all the witnesses, the bounty still stays, which it shouldnt. =/

[wispy loom]

classic creation engine issues

[frosty yoke]

Other than that, no issues.

[wispy loom]

better than most it seems, at this point I don't think they're ever gonna be able to fix these issues, the spaghetti of CE is probably too thick

[wispy loom]

real

[frosty yoke]

Nearly 800 mods though, so theres that.

[wispy loom]

well yeah, players know the engine. good writing mod when

[frosty yoke]

Skyrim crossover when

[wispy loom]

99% chance someone is already doing that, adding the skyrim map as a planet

[warm maple]

Right now

They'll turn Earth into Skyrim

[wispy loom]

tamriel*

[frosty yoke]

How much have you played so far?

[warm maple]

*skyrim

The entire Earth will become Skyrim

And just Skyrim

[frosty yoke]

So a little ways into the story and they reveal a race called the ||Starborn||. I rolled my eyes so hard I bet Todd felt it in his sleep. Got a good laugh out of it afterwards though.

[frosty yoke]

[proud wren]

[frosty yoke]

Just cleared with demons yea.

[bitter granite]

[vestal stirrup]

yes

[modern schooner]

I never would have gathered that from noita

[vestal stirrup]

i still dont get how noita has an absolutely fucked finnish translation, like literally prob all translated by a bot or smthin

[ripe leaf]

this is so comf

[vestal stirrup]

bad at explaining but like the biggest example i recall rn is block, as in blocking damage, is translated to "lohko" when it should be "este", lohko is like a piece of something like "puu lohko", wood block

[digital hamlet]

It was made by people who speak finnish
It has an English translation not a finnish one

[spare oak]

ballin

[vestal stirrup]

the game is english by default except for enemy names and a few other things (and the game title obviously), but if you want everything in finnish you can change the games language in settings, but finnish was so blatantly just like google translated, even capitalization is missing half the time. and im literally finnish so thats why im complaining about it

[frosty yoke]

[tidal raven]

Yooo Final fantasy 7, 3

[digital hamlet]

All the devs are finnish and the company is based in finland
Seriously its not google translate

Grammar mistakes happen in english games made by native english speakers too

[tidal raven]

On a scale of "We all make mistakes" to "Scam email from India" how bad is it

[vestal stirrup]

"translate the game in 1 evening without knowing the language youre translating it into" idk how the hell but its literally like that

[tidal raven]

Ouch

[vestal stirrup]

i can literally read it dude, and the translations are what google translate spits first, like my prior example of block being lohko, let me read another crap translation, "game renders the cursor: off" was translated to "peli tekee osoitin: vinossa" which would be "game makes pointer: skewed/tilted"

[digital hamlet]

I don’t know why it sucks but it’s not because the devs don’t speak the language, because they do

[vestal stirrup]

i know the devs are finnish dude

[digital hamlet]

That’s all I’m saying
Maybe it has something do with the publisher only providing english grammar checkers or something

Nope also published by nolla
Confusing

[vestal stirrup]

i have no other guess than laziness, or a really tight deadline

[spare oak]

the translations were probably handled by others then, not the actual dev team

[digital hamlet]

It was developed over a few years so you’d think they would notice

[vestal stirrup]

very likely that its a community translation since theres so many translations available, but like no proof reading at all by the devs on the language they speak is so weird

[digital hamlet]

It’d be really weird for them to use a community translation for the language they spoke
If it’s your first language it’d probably be faster to make it yourself? Idk
