[muted smelt]

yeah? what do you remember

[royal relic]

ok so it was this eighties post-apo movie about some guy that kinda looked like a detective?

there's a lot of dust and sand and ruins and all that post apo stuff

and one scene was about some bandits kicking a ball
and later it turned out it was someone's head (which was still "alive" then and i think it might've been some sort of android)

and the other scene was this dude was fighting this cyborg girl in some abandoned warehouse and at one point she got this football-sized hole punched in her chest
and there's this one shot i remember vividly

it was a closeup shot of that cavity and at first all you could see was some dangling cables shooting sparks and pipes and other robot stuf
and the background was blurry as hell

and then the camera changed focus to the background leaving this mess of cables blurry and showing this protag dude slowly walking towards the camera

it was such a cool shot

and i just can't find this movie anywhere

[muted smelt]

its not called Cyborg is it

[royal relic]

wh-

[muted smelt]

there was a baby

i think

[royal relic]

y-yeah?

i think

i... i think this is it?

[muted smelt]

hyearh

[royal relic]

hang on a minute

[muted smelt]

the film i tried to remember was a samurai film. samurai are the coolest thing ever to kid me

[royal relic]

samurai cop

[muted smelt]

i just waited and waited for the guy to do samurai things

but he never did

[royal relic]

but anyways - you might be onto something here
i'll look into it later

[muted smelt]

he just works at the palace doing accounting and then go home to his senile ma, and two kids

this is such a cool film actually

in a social commentary kind of way

[royal relic]

oooohh
oop

there it is!

the movie is getting stupid

[muted smelt]

uhhh

[royal relic]

to be fair - 42 minutes has to be a new record
other sequels couldn't make it past 15

[tall owl]

[sharp grail]

[muted smelt]

[tall owl]

how to get free games tutorial

[snow jungle]

Why would sweets accompany the pizza…

[sharp grail]

what else should accompany it

not vegetables or anything nutritious thats for sure

[snow jungle]

More pizza

[muted smelt]

strawberry pizza

[snow jungle]

That sounds absolutely disgusting, where can I get one?

[royal relic]

this movie is an anime now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpA3lFa0-no

literally unsheathes a butterfly knife

[snow jungle]

Looks like watermelon

[royal relic]

it's not the only scene like that too

"Please officer - you have to believe me! You're in danger too!"
"No... I'm in processing" - replied a clearly bored us border patrol lady

like - this is good
this dialogue has some bite to it

[muted smelt]

i found my movie

its Twilight Samurai

everyone lets watch

[royal relic]

well there goes the most predictable plot twist in history

yay? i guess?

[vocal yoke]

damn the new pope is american

[tall owl]

discuss

[vocal yoke]

I always had this vague impression that popes were only italian but completely forgot Francis was Argentinian I think

[tall owl]

and benedikt before that was german (the largest tabloid here wrote the iconic phrase 'We are pope' ('Wir sind Papst') in response to that)

[muted smelt]

who is pope? everyones new favorite youtuber?

[tall owl]

miku

[muted smelt]

tibd

[tall owl]

miku is pope

[muted smelt]

i think theres picture of that somewhere out there, so it must be true

[royal relic]

HOLY CRAP I DID IT

it's done

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxvBWfxraUm6_2wXnKDFyJqfiu7V7Ppw1x?si=DbKeXU2Jd8d2KqdI

i have finally finished all terminator movies

and BOI do i have things to say about dark fate

while genysis was just... pain
genuine, physical pain and mental DOT

dark fate... while far from perfect
tries it's hardest to take all the rare interesting bits of other sequels to meld them into a single decent film

and i have to respect that
i have to respect the fact that someone out there took this thankless job of fixing this goddamn mess this franchise has been for like 20 years at this point
7 different studios
like 5 different directors
and god knows how many writers

and the ending to it was as good as it could've been
it didn't get me as emotional as T2, but it was close - and it got there with just two, last words

also - after seeing cgi arnold beating the snot out of magic future cgi robots i realized...
the whole terminator series is just marvel capecrap for boomers

there
there's my mic drop

i need a beer, holy moly
what a rollercoaster of ||negative|| emotions

[tall owl]

euthanasia rollercoaster

[royal relic]

basically, yeah

[royal relic]

okay so Bim's Trademarked Terminator Tier List ™️ goes like this:
Judgment Day
The Terminator
Dark Fate
Salvation
Rise of the machines
chinese water torture machine
The Room starring Tommy Wiseau
Genisys

[random sedge]

bim lol

[fast marlin]

did you also know he has a rock album

or had. I guess

I liked the factory fight setting

[royal relic]

i kinda like that too, but

all the action setpieces feel so weightless in this one

it's all blurry cgi
it's kinda hard for me to believe in what i'm seeing if what i'm seeing is blender's cycles renderer set to 4999 samples

also there's the issue of scale
that first chase scene started on such a high intensity level, it was so over the top it felt like the end of the movie
but it was just the first act

so for the end of the movie they still had to top that and we got that awful plane scene

[tall owl]

m… miku…

oh my god I just remembered there’s an 8 part animated terminator series on Netflix NÒOOOOOOOO

[gusty thorn]

what about The Sarah Connor Chronicles

[royal relic]

[gusty thorn]

people say it's deece

i heard "forget Terminator 3, watch Sarah Connor chronicles" a lot back in the day

[royal relic]

Dude I forgot about t3 before even the movie ended lmao

Well okay - maybe that’s not entirely fair
T3 is kinda funny

[gusty thorn]

T-X was also kinda menacing

[royal relic]

Naaaaah

Not at all

They did her dirty by making her do all the killing off camera

[gusty thorn]

the actress was miscast, but if you imagine her on a level of technical manual, she's waaaay scarier than T-1000. Too bad we only saw a small fragment of it in the actual movie

[royal relic]

Nah - I still think grandma Connor was more menacing

More of a robot too with those giant balls of steel lmao

Seriously though - on its own dark fate is a pretty decent flick

People give it too much crap

[gusty thorn]

it had an insurmountable task of succeeding after genisys

[royal relic]

Yeah it was fighting an uphill battle before it even hit the screens

[gusty thorn]

also apparently there's a bunch of comic books

with stuff like model T-infinity that has an in-built time machine
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/terminator/images/f/f8/T2_Infinity_-5_002.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120627123514

[royal relic]

Especially genesis - that thing did more damage to this series than the nuke from t2

[gusty thorn]

nuke from t2 was extremely memorable

[royal relic]

Oh yeah

[gusty thorn]

it got referenced dozens of times in other media

[royal relic]

A lot of scenes did

[gusty thorn]

it's the akira's bike slide of nuclear explosions

[royal relic]

T2 still looks like a million bucks

[gusty thorn]

practical effects man, they don't have to be photoreal when they're real

[royal relic]

Yeah

Like - dark fate looks worse on multiple fronts
First it’s all cgi and it’s obvious
Even if it’s good looking cgi I can still spot most of it and it’s hard to take it seriously when I know this thing is not there

And 2
I CANT SEE CRAP DURING NIGHT SCENES

Like maybe that’s where all the practical effects went

https://youtube.com/shorts/ncalNMIOr1g?si=a3B_ielYvGh5SSij

[sharp grail]

live concerts kind of upset me

youtube just recommended me lady gagas performance in coachella which is great to hear and im sure the performance was amazing however i couldnt look at it because the rapidly flashing lights were absurd

[royal relic]

oh yeah?
try looking stuff up about any movie

just type in some movie's title in the search bar and nothing more
you will drown in a deluge of AI crap

[sharp grail]

[royal relic]

and ads

[sharp grail]

i am talking about rapidly flashing lights triggering photosensitivity

[royal relic]

like - this morning i just typed in "terminator dark fate" on mobile
got two ads
three crap short movies
another ad
and then a series of 4 shorts, three of them had ai voiceover and one of them was just a clip from a movie

and scrolling down i saw a full feature-length fake terminator 7 made with some ai crap
didn't even click it, but i saw the highlights on the thumbnail

[royal relic]

i'm referring to your youtube recommendations

like - live gig recommendations are usually fairly accurate

[sharp grail]

oh thats because ive been listening to lady gaga

[royal relic]

but looking for anything else? it's a pain

[sharp grail]

im just not sure what ai clogging up search has to do with what i originally talked about

even if it is a problem

[royal relic]

well - youtube recommendations

[fast marlin]

thats fair tbh

photosensitivity warnings are literally so easy to add yet no one doesnit

[sharp grail]

its just someone random there filming it so like idc but the problem is that big live shows have very rapidly flashy pretty much always to varying degrees of intensity

[royal relic]

i guess i just crave the mental pain because just as i was finished with terminator i started watching...

the three part doc about arnold himself

why am i even doing this?

[sharp grail]

i want to read but i dont know what book to start with

[tall owl]

you should read books in chronological order

[royal relic]

read a dictionary - after that every book is just a remix

just speedrun this crap

any%

[sharp grail]

i even have a book about speedrunning

but its pretty lengthy lol

[tall owl]

comic books are pretty neat…

[royal relic]

ironic

do a backwards accelerated hop to the last page and call it a day

[sharp grail]

okay

i have to start somewhere so i will be reading jason schreiers book about video james

[muted smelt]

who is video james

[tall owl]

do NOT look up vivian james

[royal relic]

it's this dude who killed his terminally ill wife and then went to this foggy town full of hot nurses

no wait

that was a different james

[dry stratus]

any particular song??

i've begun listening to replay a lot lately (lol) and damn what a song!

that entire album is probably my fave from her

[sharp grail]

abracadabra just came out so thats what i listened to on youtube but elsewhere ive been looping artpop

i actually havent listened to that entire album replay is basically the one song i know from the dorian electra remix

its so good

[dry stratus]

sadly I am not a fan of the abracadabras 💔

[royal relic]

abracadabra
thanks
now i have to deal with all my furniture flying all over the place

[dry stratus]

dorian is such a good egg

[sharp grail]

i listened to the entire mayhem album once and it wasnt super memorable to me but abracadabra is one i do like

[dry stratus]

abracadabra definitely reminds me of judas lmao

judas might be my fave song from her??

i'll come back later into chat, I woke up at 4.45am on a Saturday lmao

enjoy your abracadabras

[royal relic]

no please

[sharp grail]

get those sleeps in

[royal relic]

it's flying out the window now

i am not enjoying your abracadabras - all this furniture was expensive

[sharp grail]

oh i just came here to post a quote from the book and got swept up in gaga talk

"to try to answer these questions, i went out and engaged in my favorite activity: bothering people who know way more than i do" i feel that

he can be vacuumed

[royal relic]

That’s… efficient

[mild pelican]

that's nice.. mine just walks away and looks from the distance every time i get vacuum cleaner out

cussing quietly sometimes

pets really do differ in that term

[royal relic]

oh hey would you look at that

i just stumbled upon a youtube video that does what alma was talking about yesterday
https://youtu.be/zdXsHWHxeBY?si=6Mxekomq_9X06FmA

it comes with a photosensitivity warning

and it got me thinking
this could very well be a built in feature on youtube

i mean - they already have speech detection algorithms that flash corresponding buttons whenever someone says like and subscribe
even in old videos

so they're more than capable of looking for flashing images and giving you a warning beforehand

[bronze lintel]

Soooo my cafe almost got scammed

[random sedge]

Good morning

[royal relic]

how so?

[bronze lintel]

Someone placed an order via cafe's whatsapp (which isn't the strangest). 15 chicken wings. As a discretion, my manager asked them to pay first and they did around one hour later. But the transfer receipt was suss. The fonts didn't match when compared to an original transfer receipt. So, we told them, there was something wrong, we didn't get the payment, and asked them to finish payment upon picking up the order. If there was a double in payment, we would refund them.

They didn't reply after that.

[keen frost]

Hi hi

Damn

[royal relic]

isn't that just a straight up felony?

dunno how the law there works

but over here counterfeit receipts and invoices are almost on the same level as counterfeit money

[random sedge]

That's just suspicious and most likely (most likely) a scammer that tried stealing bank info by doing a fake transfer and stuff

[keen frost]

In another note

You have chicken wings in a cafe?

[bronze lintel]

you gotta have some snacks

[keen frost]

Won’t question it

Also I like chicken wings so I wouldn’t resist to that being a regular thing

[sharp grail]

i am pretty sure this is the youtuber doing these end cards

unless i missed the joke

[royal relic]

is it?

[random sedge]

👋

[royal relic]

cause i saw this effect where the like button is flashing rainbow colors when they say that even on older videos

released years before they introduced that feature

[sharp grail]

its eiter edited into the video or has that window thing

you could add that wherever

regardless i think its an important thing to be aware of like gaming video essay people putting a spoiler warning in the start of their video

[royal relic]

yeah

also - i could swear this thing was automated
but apparently it's not

[mild pelican]

it can be, since they forced even old vids to have that ending info and "also watch this" stuff

also their algoritms detect copyrighted music even if that's a 0,7 seconds bit sang by random person with stuffed nose on the background

but we all know, corps don't care about special needs

even subtitles are not always available

[royal relic]

Yeah that’s my point

And I’m not even talking about that end card

Sometimes the like button below the vid can flash rainbow colors to make you click it

While the vid is playing

Yeyeye

https://youtu.be/obX2WdINsZo?si=jWY6ZHXZMrjDSFpw

This is what I mean

Like - the tech is there
It’s just used for vapid engagement instead of - you know - something useful

[bronze lintel]

laptop's bluetooth is FUBAR

not sure the reason behind it

but

it did

[bronze lintel]

nevermind it was a driver issue

[fast marlin]

me when i get mad at my car but then realize its my fault

[muted smelt]

You should return the driver and get a refund

can i have one swear word, please?

god i got my hopes up for nothing

[sharp grail]

you never know maybe it will be free soon

[royal relic]

no you don't get it

i went through 7 movies this week

2 hours each
14 hours in total

and not one of them gave me so much joy as this short 10 minutes demo reel

i've been waiting for anything kung fury 2 since

• checks kf1 release date *

2016

as far as i know the movie is like 90% ready
and has been for quite some time now

they're just locked in some weird prick measuring contest with some lawyers seeing who can out-mcgill the other one

god that demo reel is amazing
and that bit from 8:08 till the end is borderline inspiring

like - it gave me such a positive creative kick i...
i'm actually considering going back to modding

you know what i mean, right @sharp grail ?
you're a creative person - you draw
every now and then... not even inspiration, but motivation can hit you like a truck coming from the least expected place

[sharp grail]

yes i always get motivated and inspired and fall flat on my face when i cant execute my ambitious compositions

but good luck! i believe in you!

[royal relic]

oh, that
yeah been there

[swift valley]

I was helping out at a science fair and some kids were like, horrified that I have discord LOL

like what's this boomer doing with our tech

[royal relic]

wot

are you trying to make me feel old?

[swift valley]

idk what's with kids and teens thinking discord is a new thing lol

[royal relic]

yeah i was thinking the other way

i always imagined a discord being this sort of late millenial kind of thing

more or less

[sharp grail]

yeah i was in a server and people were like imagine being 30 and still using discord you are 13 get off of discord and go frolic in the fields

its so funny in game servers like how old do you think the devs of the games are because theyre certainly not 13

[royal relic]

i always thought kids were using instagram and tiktoks and zipzaps and...

whatever they're doing there with those doomscrolling bricks idk

[muted smelt]

discord is my doomscrolling

[royal relic]

yeah especially when i'm posting

[muted smelt]

thanks bim

[royal relic]

anytime

[sharp grail]

yes the trends ive noticed is people under TOS age making accounts and then remaking until theyre 13 and then complain about adults like youre 8 go play soccer with your besties after school

[royal relic]

i feel like discord should finally change their TOS and switch to 18+

i mean - it's not like this ever stopped anyone, but

discord in general isn't exactly safe

[keen frost]

I think 13+ is fairly fine

But a parent should be involved

[sharp grail]

yeah i saw it now has parental controls

[keen frost]

There are country’s in which it can be as far as 16+

[stable comet]

i watched the whole first season of Vinland Saga today, it was pretty good

[fiery holly]

I also think discord needs more accountability after going into a rabbit hole of videos

But yes parents should also be monitoring

Also a lot of people have social media as a way to help with mental health

More with loneliness

[vocal yoke]

finally finished No country for old men

[swift valley]

I was also taught this art by neopets message boards but at least I never talked much lmao

[sharp grail]

i dont think i did it that much if at all? i was in this one forum i think i was 8 at the time and everyone else was probably in their teens and we had a meetup and it was actually very nice

i have no idea how old they actually were because its been so long and i dont remember and also i was 8 so everyone over 10 seems so old and cool but thats how i got my first phone, my parents wanted me too keep in touch lol

[fiery holly]

I’m ngl I’m surprised you where ok

[sharp grail]

they were probably like 12

[fiery holly]

I’m even more surprised your parents allowed it

[sharp grail]

they were around and i had a phone so i think that was the big reason it was allowed in the first place

i used to go on a lot of meetups with people i met in forums and online communities but it was all book nerd girls so 👍

some of them i stayed friends with for a good few years but i mostly lost touch at some point for reasons i dont even remember

[fiery holly]

My parents would unironically ground me for 30 years if I even thought of bringing that idea up heck I probably would’ve been spanked for it 😭

Or even worse yelled at

[sharp grail]

😟

there was one meetup i couldnt go to which i was really sad but was probably for the best because i didnt know anyone there and i think everyone who went there was probably way older than me

[fiery holly]

My dad probably would’ve do all 3 my mom would probably just ground me and give me a stern talking

My dad is Mormon and basically grew up with a lot of people in the military

[sharp grail]

damn sorry to hear

[fiery holly]

He’s not bad but he also grew up very poor along with my mom

They’ve both definitely changed

For the better

[fast marlin]

hey guys

[sharp grail]

thats good at least

hey abigail

[fast marlin]

i spent my childhood on animal jam and fandom wiki harry potter roleplay

the fandom wiki harry potter roleplay couldnt have been good for me but alas

there are some WEIRD parts of fandom dot com

[sharp grail]

roleplaying on wiki is nuts

[fast marlin]

yeah theres this whole part of it thats basically a forum but its on the wiki site

hey at least it wasnt amino

[sharp grail]

most of the forums i was in were for books as well

and fairies. i used to really like fairies and collected a lot of little figurines but i have absolutely no idea where they are now

Good morning! I have a weird request haha! Is there a way we can ask a dev or if someone has a really nice clear picture of Ceberus from H1 ❤️ I have lil dusa as a tattoo and would like to add him but all the images i can find, are all blurry or not really what i'm looking for 😦

[fiery holly]

Uh in case you’re not able to i suggest maybe getting the plushie of it and use it as a base?

It’s a out there idea

Are the pics in google not good?

[limber walrus]

What sort of image are you looking for?

[keen frost]

Yeah… standing, sitting, cute, majestic?

A split between infernal and not infernal Cerberus can look real sick tho

[royal relic]

Wowee

I think…
I think I just bought the first pair of true wireless earbuds that I don’t despise out of the gate

Pairing is easy, it doesn’t require the app at all
And if you even download the app IT LETS YOU SKIP THE POINTLESS REGISTRATION and turn off all touch controls
Including the assistant

Such simple features
This should be a standard

[keen frost]

Does it not hurt your hears too?

[royal relic]

WHAT!?

you gotta speak up mate I can’t hear you

[tall owl]

Good morning

[keen frost]

Nah I don’t mean the volume, for me headphones can someone hurt my hear by their shape

[royal relic]

Oh yeah for sure

Usually I have to switch one of those rubbery tips cause my left ear is smaller? I guess

It’s like dank says

[muted smelt]

i have no idea about that but that sounds great

dude we were so close to greatness

they finished this movie 6 years ago

SIX!

and it's stuck in copyright limbo because of some lawsuit

the world just isn't ready for this level of awesomeness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWmkHV9vwf0&t=488s

a feature-length sequel to kung fury set to the sounds of the best darkwave artist
featuring the best song
from his best album

seriously though
it's a movie where the us president Arnold Schwarzenegger is killing bad guys with a pump action, level action, break action over under double barrel shotgun while riding a laser raptor that shoots lasers from it's eyes

no - i am not having a stroke

[swift valley]

That's cult of the lamb

[muted smelt]

so there is show, its about this fighter pilot, he fights in this super hi tech plane

fights in a war where you dont know who the enemy is

or even why theyre fighting them

[royal relic]

top gun?

i mean
it fits

[muted smelt]

the story focuses a lot on the psychology of the main character

[royal relic]

still fits

[muted smelt]

and a lot of its scenes are more like silent hill

rather than what youd expect from a plane war show

has evangelion vibes

sounds right up your alley bim

i think it's @sharp grail 's kind of thing too

oh forgot to add, this show is gay

[royal relic]

maybe
but i'm done with marathons for the time being

movies, games, shows - whatever

i just don't have it in me

[muted smelt]

we'll wait for you to recharge

[royal relic]

nah man

a whole battery replacement is in order

[muted smelt]

ok do that then

here's the trailer in all its dated marketing style glory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgmViz-LElg

[royal relic]

oh yeah i remember seeing this trailer not too long ago

this came out quite recently, right?

also - love that knockoff danger zone playing in the background

[muted smelt]

i dunno if the trailer is recent, just know the show is 2002

[royal relic]

2002?

looks a bit newer

[muted smelt]

yup 2002

they got an actual airforce guy as consultant to help with the terminology and stuff in the script

only 5 episodes, not too long

but if you binge this your brain will probably break

[royal relic]

sometimes i wish it could be legally allowed to assassinate one high manager or CEO of any company without any serious consequences for a person

once in a lifetime, maybe

so people can bundle up and make a world a bit better

[royal relic]

You forgot to add in Minecraft

Anyway

Something tells me this leak wasn’t an accident

[mild pelican]

believe it or not, here in russia it didn't work

some guys were discussing blowing up a FSB building in the public minecraft map, and they got arrested and imprisoned for real

[royal relic]

Um

[mild pelican]

yeah

[swift valley]

There was a youtube video advocating against the death penalty, that argued "even if you think some crimes should cause the perpetrator to lose their right to life, the state shouldn't be allowed to take it" and I always felt it's an interesting premise for something like this

Like once someone commits a severe crime, or gets corrupt enough, they get put on a list where whoever murders them can't get charged for it

[fast marlin]

well that has the problem of like. you can say anyone committed a severe crime so they can be murdered without consequence

[royal relic]

yeah and then there's the case of someone being judged wrongly

what if you take out the trash and then it turns out that person actually didn't commit the crime?

wow this convo got really dark really fast

[stable comet]

i've seen too many memes... i think this person is about to fight Dante and i hear the song...

[last badge]

I send you a lucky keepsake

[fiery holly]

It’s ign

People despise them

[royal relic]

yeah i know
but still

[fiery holly]

And they usually have terrible reviews

[royal relic]

i haven't followed anything IGN in ages and it was kinda funny to jump back in and see that not much changed in all this time

but yeah i'm hyped for this movie

booked 3 VIP seats yesterday

[fast marlin]

an IGN 7 is a 5 an IGN 10 is an 8 an IGN 8 is a 10

6 and 9 are the same as they are

anything below 5 is like 2

[royal relic]

[sharp grail]

We need to do away with every and all game rating system

[royal relic]

pffff
i remember this argument starting like...
10 years ago?

about how scoring systems were pointless and such

[sharp grail]

People never give anything a ten because it’s for the top of the top so they give it 9.5 which is already the top of the top… when will this fabled 10 arrive? Just like the things you like

[royal relic]

and some outlets switched to different systems, but now it feels like we're slowly going back to X/10

[near igloo]

Ough. I think it went okay. Not sure if I'm getting an offer or not, started off a bit weak but immediately cleaned it up at the end of the interview when it got more conversational and casual

[royal relic]

also there's the fact that 7 or 8 is an average for games

which is isn't... for math

[near igloo]

I think I'm just not comfortable enough with the STAR format that's common in most engineering interviews- back in highschool and during my college internship it was much more conversational, which was the part of this interview I seemed to nail. They liked my attitude and questions I asked :)

[sharp grail]

Im guilty of putting too much stock in steam % myself but its something super harsh that at least I don’t immediately notice
81% - worth a try
79% - mmmm maybe skip it
Grasps head in agony

[sharp grail]

I have a lot more 5s but I also don’t use the in betweens

[near igloo]

Beautiful normal distribution

[sharp grail]

It’s also not that serious

[tall owl]

rating games is srs bsns

[sharp grail]

It says right here that it’s not serious smh

[tall owl]

joker rating

[keen frost]

Mhehehe

[sharp grail]

Each rating has its own secret rating which is just the vibes but really some games are just not comparable

[royal relic]

oh then i think you got this

[tall owl]

Yeah since direct comparisons will be silly, I just look at a rating ‚group‘ and ask if a game would fit in there. So it constantly changes as well

[royal relic]

dunno how interviewing goes now, but last time i was doing it (which was about 5 years ago) i noticed a shift in a lot of employers caring more about soft skills than hard skills

[sharp grail]

yeah sometimes even if I disliked a game I don’t want to give it 1 because it’s just unfair with the games I have in 1 lol

[royal relic]

as in - paying attention if this new potential empoyee will fit the team and less attention to if they have the perfect skillset

cause you can always brush up on your (hard) skills
but if your soft, social skills won't fit the team - it's going to be way harder for you to change that

but yeah - that's how my last interview go
i thought i was kinda fumbling it at the start, but when we got to a more casual chat and jokes and what not i started feeling a bit more confident

and less than a week later i got a call and soon it's gonna be my 5th anniversary at this company

so yeah @near igloo
you got this

[near igloo]

Ayyyy I'm hoping for the same

[royal relic]

[near igloo]

When I was interviewing for my internship, my interviewer was very stonefaced until the end, and I wound up being one of only two students from my uni who got the job

[royal relic]

i rate this 4-pack three cans out of four

oh man the title drop for dead reckoning is so sick

one thing i always liked about those movies is their confidence
there's always a prologue and a fast cut to an intro sequence that's just a fast montage of alllthe cool stuff you're gonna see in the movie

they're always that confident that they spoil you on all the cool crap in the first few minutes of the movie and that always somehow leaves me more pumped to see the rest of it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1372918525810839604/IMG_4615.png?ex=68288584&is=68273404&hm=28c208273073ac53f886e72223ba58f9927c68434777dbd6b1ebb3b9c179e45b&

Didn’t know that song was about pans

[tall owl]

LOL

[timber tusk]

Heyyy

[vocal yoke]

man

nothing better than a midnight snack

made myself a sandwhich with mortadella, mustard and peccorino

usually my favorite sandwhiches are this
and sometimes I use pesto and mozzarella or parmiggiano instead

[keen frost]

Mozzarella + garlic + basil + olive oil + tomato’s + concentrated balsamic vinegar + some meat or something all in bread and toasted = heaven

omg I clicked onto a mr beast video on bilibili and half the top comments are complaining about the editing style

There's still hope in this world

[royal relic]

well this certainly is gonna mess up my youtube recommendations for a few weeks

[bronze lintel]

You are welcome

[royal relic]

[tall owl]

hbu @tall owl ?

[tall owl]

oh yeah forgot about 🅱️olish election

working on my thesis very slowly 👍 👍 👍 👍

dang

[royal relic]

there we go

[tall owl]

we saw everything

[royal relic]

lmao

[royal relic]

glad i never had to do this sort of thing

[tall owl]

it's fun but there are a lot of roadblocks

well if you like the topic you picked obv

[vocal yoke]

i just realised mission impossible 2 had music from hans zimmer, metallica and limp bizkit

[fast marlin]

hi guys

today i learned vanilla oat milk goes really great in smoothies

[keen frost]

Noice

-whistles-

[fiery holly]

I don’t get the hype for oat milk

Sounds like eggnog (which tastes terrible)

[sharp grail]

from what i understand about eggnog, it has eggs

[fiery holly]

🤯

[sharp grail]

oat milk is pretty tasteless from what i remember its just a neutral vegan alternative for milk

[keen frost]

Same

But I tasted soy milk and it was pretty fire

[sharp grail]

i dont think people drink it straight up i think its just for stuff like coffee or smoothies

[fiery holly]

I legitimately don’t get the coffee hype ether

[keen frost]

But soy milk looks a bit sus

[sharp grail]

?

no i dont

[keen frost]

Hmmm

Good you deleted

[fiery holly]

https://tenor.com/view/zoro-pain-one-piece-kuma-paw-paw-fruit-gif-20611761

[keen frost]

Coffee is nice

But makes me sleepy

[fiery holly]

This is how I actually felt drinking coffee for the one and only time

I felt like I was burning

[sharp grail]

i dont really like warm drinks in general anymore which is funny because i was a tea fanatic like a year ago

yeah some people drink coffee for the caffeine i had decaf because my mom got it and didnt like it so she handed it over to me

[keen frost]

I don’t like room temperature drinks

Warm or cold, room temperature is too boring

And ice is amazing

[fast marlin]

yeah i basically just put vanilla in my smoothie

[tall owl]

hmm for me, soy milk has always been neutral while oat milk has a certain taste. Usually eat oats with oat milk, like a vegan oyakodon

[muted smelt]

oat milk is pretty nice straight up. very close to milk

[dry stratus]

loving all this conversation AD generated about plant based milks

personally I like soy, oat, almond, and faba bean milk. I'm not sure if I've tried pea milk before

I haaaaate hemp milk with a passion it tastes like burnt toast

[swift valley]

I just don't like cow's milk and heard it's better for the environment than almond

And hate soy milk for some reason

it's on the list of random food I started hating for no reason in my early teens

[fiery holly]

I have to drink lactose intolerant milk anyway

I also kinda get it cause of my pretty bad acid reflux

[swift valley]

Yeah mine is just a taste thing

I'm ok with stuff like yogurt and ice cream but not milk on its own

[royal relic]

Yeah three more reasons why it’s the worst in the series

Also - mornin

[tall owl]

Good morbing

[livid tendon]

It’s morbin’ time😼

[vocal yoke]

my elitist ass cannot pretend Take a look around isnt a banger

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

this is what my brain envisions when i see people talk about american culture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn6kiimEsYc

or this

[fast marlin]

not to be all marvel is back but marvel might he back thunderbolts was Good

[fast marlin]

@dry stratus does this statement apply to australians also

[dry stratus]

LOL absolutely it does yes. our favoured source of amerian culture is in fact wwe

[vocal yoke]

i mean

rhea ripley is australian

she's like the biggest female wrestler right?

she totally united everyone regardless of gender into fangirling for her lmao

[fast marlin]

😔 rip aew fans

[fast marlin]

toni storm is also australian………….. (i’m in love with her)

[vocal yoke]

oh lord

yep i get you now

[fast marlin]

will can attest i’ve been toni storm’s #1 fan for years

[dry stratus]

okay to be fair i did recently discover a northern american styled sports bar in a laneway super close to my work that shows aew

[fast marlin]

oh huh!!

[dry stratus]

(northern american because it's a mix of sports popular within canada and the US, which is nice)

[fast marlin]

fascinating

[dry stratus]

helps that toni is bisexual, and here, and queer

[fast marlin]

yes!!!!!!

[dry stratus]

she arguably is right now, but just a few years back it was sasha banks lmao

[fast marlin]

also son lux may be my favorite movie composer now sorry micheal giacchino its over for you

also actual action!! with Choreography!! there were only 10 cuts per fight scene instead of 50 we’re winning tbh

and like. Production value

ok don’t mean to derail this but thunderbolts was really good

[fast marlin]

ok i cannot find the toni trans flag image 😔😔 id put it here if i could

[dry stratus]

[fast marlin]

yeah there we go

oh here

yeah that makes sense

my favorite letterboxd review so far is “when did we let a24 make marvel movies”

[vocal yoke]

i didnt want to drink tonight but i remembered that Ennio Morricone hasnt been alive since 2020

[stone spear]

Are we gonna get a guild tag eventually?

[royal relic]

Folks
The time of final reckoning has come

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9-fYdy12PY

I will be back in 3 hours
Probably pumped as hell

So get ready for me posting a lotta stuff about a movie series no one here cares about

[vocal yoke]

dude

i forgot how good The Who were

i used to listen to them so much when I was like, 12

specifically the entirety of Who's Next

[royal relic]

aaaaaaaand i'm back

and BOI do i have things to say about this movie

and not many of those things are positive, sadly

[paper coral]

which one

[royal relic]

mission impossible: final reckoning

[paper coral]

oh it already came out, is that the one where he had to give up everything or sum

[royal relic]

i don't get what you mean

[paper coral]

the one where there was 2 keys in the trailer and it was super action packed

[royal relic]

yeah that could be either dead reckoning or final reckoning

it's two movies about the same thing
both of them three hours long
six hours in total

god what the f-

okay - before i get too negative i'll just say this:

we've been spoiled
because final reckoning isn't a bad movie - not at all
it's great!
but it coexists alongside some of the best action movies out there and completely just pales in comparison to the absolute peak of the series that was MI: Fallout

[vocal yoke]

so romania just had their elections
im so damn reliefed the anti EU far right candidate lost

[paper coral]

yes

[royal relic]

we're still waiting for our results here

[vocal yoke]

good luck poland

[fiery holly]

I’ll be seeing the new mission impossible this weekend

[royal relic]

ayyyyy
have fun

if you're looking for some cool action, crazy stunts and pretty cinematography - you're gonna have a good time

if you're looking for a fun spy plot that will keep you guessing till the end - look elsewhere

[swift valley]

"I need to be less flipphobic" - me, 2025

[dry stratus]

so happy for you!! and the people of romania as a whole

[muted smelt]

but that candidate is people of romania

[royal relic]

so i did some thonking

maybe i was too rough on final reckoning

it's not a bad movie and there's a lot of signs pointing at the fact that this might be the last one of this kind

the mostly practical, minimal cgi, massive, dangerous stunt showcase

[vocal yoke]

Fun fact in the eve of the elections the price of 1 euro skyrocketed and now its going down

soooo THANK GOD

[tall owl]

no coping!!!

say it with your chest

[royal relic]

alright

• slams desk *

wtf happened to ilsa faust!?

they didn't even mention her
not once

in terms of writing - this might be the low point of the series

in terms of action - it's one of the best

someone out there, in the deepest reaches of time and space
exists a planet, a timeline

where both dead reckoning and final reckoning are combined into one killer ending for the series

that thing could be even over 3 hours and i'd be fine with it

[tall owl]

hell yeah!!

[royal relic]

seriously though - wtf happened to pacing in movies?

why does it feel like every movie i go to the cinema for now takes half a goddamn day

[tall owl]

me in beau is afraid

[royal relic]

wot

[tall owl]

long ari aster movie

[royal relic]

how long?

[tall owl]

uh 3 hours or so

close to the finale where beau discovers that his father is a monster in the shape of a giant penor a woman in the audience sighed loudly „how much longer will this last“

[royal relic]

hwat

[muted smelt]

I believe you tidb

[tall owl]

im not even joking

watching it made me think ‚man i have issues but at least i dont have these issues‘

And thank you miko. You‘re the only person i can trust in this world

[muted smelt]

Ok tidb wasn't joking

I'm sorry I doubted you

[sharp grail]

i hated midsommar

then i watched huhhh the other one and it was crazy

it definitely had a bigger impact on me than midsommar it made me cry pretty early on and also had me call my mom when the movie was over LOL anyway i have no interest in watching any of his other movies

i watched mickey 17 yesterday tho and it was really something

[bronze lintel]

Have a funny story about Midsommar

Was in an empty cafe, hung out before going home so I started watching Midsommar. I got to a scene where a couple was... wrestling so to speak when the owner's child just came back from school, ran to me asking "what are you watching? can I watch too?"

never whipped out excel so fast in my life

[muted smelt]

I wanna watch excel

[low fable]

no idea what midsommar is but thats SO funny

[keen frost]

Real

[toxic jay]

it's a wonderful movie, you should watch it!

[stable comet]

https://tenor.com/view/hereditary-scary-gif-12151037

[fiery holly]

Uh prepare to be very disturbed

If I’m thinking of the right movie

[fiery holly]

I’ve finally realized that I say brainrot terms to stim

[fiery holly]

I’m embarrassed

To say

[low fable]

its okay i say many brainrot things

[fickle sentinel]

I’ve been doing the same

Mainly that stupid “NOOOOO… my HOUTSPOOT” meme

The way he says it makes me laugh so much

[bronze kiln]

Hot Dog Taco Hamburger

[bronze lintel]

I forgot to mention that she did that TWICE. The second time she almost caught me red-handed.

"You WERE watching something!"
"I mean, yes, I was watching my excel calculations."

[fiery holly]

[muted smelt]

You have excel calculations for your coffee?

[bronze lintel]

this was in my uni days, so it was engineering stuff

[tall owl]

i‘m stuff

[random sedge]

[dry stratus]

I'll have to talk to the tattoo artist to see if they've had a gander at Hades 2 (and therefore if I can get a Hades 2 tattoo in the future lmao)

[dry stratus]

It's in the shape of a butterfly lol! Very excited for it

[random sedge]

sounds interesting and cool!

[sharp grail]

ohh i feel like ive seen something similar before, did you commission the tatt specifically or is it someone who posted it before and give you permission to use it?

[dry stratus]

It's a flash design, pre-designed by the tattoo artist themselves! Same tattoo artist who did my Nyx Hades tattoo

[sharp grail]

woahh okay i would love to see it :D
