||Spoilers do real weird things when you use code blocks

-Break the text boooounds
```||
hexed hollow
#

Ven, i had to click that so all the squares where white -_-

supple terrace
#

I have a terrible curiosity now.

#

It can!

#

(Spoilers don't hide swears.)

rain mortar
#

The bot sees E V E R Y T H I N G

supple terrace
#

And the bot is also very dumb and suffers from the Sc un trope problem.

#

Where if a word has a swear in it, but is not actually a swear, the filter throws a fit.

tardy anchor
#

whats very very funny is it shows up in mods as all black, and we cant unhide it

#

you could have literally said anything

supple terrace
#

I actually mentioned a type of mushroom.

tardy anchor
#

by the rules of umineko, you are now an endless witch, and can feel free to invent a million alt universes where u said other things so long as they contain 1 swear

rain mortar
#

Ha ha yeah, there appears to be some bugs to work out with the new spoiler tags (see my last spoiler block)

supple terrace
#

Yeah, I saw.

#

Part of my IRL job is software tester.

#

So my reflexes are often encouraged.

rain mortar
#

Interestingly, you can type anything before the single line code block and that text will be deleted in the published message

supple terrace
#

The occasional WTF said loudly isn't, but it isn't as bad as it could be.

rain mortar
#

I wonder if it catches unpublished swears in the missing text... I think I need to do a science, sorry mods!

supple terrace
#

I do enjoy the fact we're dorking out over this.

#

Oh! That's another thought with the filter!

#

@tardy anchor does it catch edited-in swears?

#

I saw that too, Wight.

rain mortar
#

Ok, so the bot does catch the deleted swear, even though it doesn't appear in the published text

tardy anchor
#

caught, but still unseeable!

#

not sure about editing.

#

i will try!

#

hmmmm what should i eat for lunch i know a shitake mushroom

#

hm.

#

that said if u take advantage of this i will banne the old fashioned way! uwu banne

rain mortar
#

The borked text bounds only breaks if the single line code block precedes the multiline code block, not the other way around. However, any text before the code block(s) still get deleted from the published message when using spoiler tags in either case

#

It appears that it's the multiline code block that breaks regular text inside of spoiler tags. Tried with only regular text and a multiline code block and the regular text still vanishes

supple terrace
#

Honestly, the only time I'll do it is when it's a benign word.

#

OH MY GOD

rain mortar
#

Smacked dooown

supple terrace
#

@tardy anchor I think this just confirmed that your mod status affects its response.

#

I just edited, and got whapped.

tardy anchor
#

omg

supple terrace
#

Did you see the edited post or not?

tardy anchor
#

shadeohboy yeah!!!! wild

#

its in the log

supple terrace
#

God, I love figuring this stuff out. 😄

#

And thank you for your patience with me poking at it!

rain mortar
#

Line breaks are also broken by the multiline code block inside of spoiler tags for single line code blocks

#

So even properly spelled shiitake mushroom is bad?

#

Nope, guess not

#

Proxy doesn't catch extended vowels, I guess

supple terrace
#

Or spaces.

#

... You have got to be kidding me.

#

It has an UK taste in censoring.

rain mortar
#

Wonder if it was coded by someone from the UK volfredthink

supple terrace
#

Maybe!

#

That or...

#

Spastic is the word.

#

Hah!

#

It wasn't it, it's the fact I used the r word.

#

Which I admit is appreciated?

rain mortar
#

I don't know what the Bad Word was so I couldn't say (about the last smack down)
edit: the mystery has been revealed

hexed hollow
#

It was a word, that much we can be certain

supple terrace
#

I confirmed what the word was.

rain mortar
#

The power of the internet prevails

hexed hollow
#

Huzzah

rain mortar
#

This may get nuked if Proxy is coded similarly to Automod on Twitch, but I learned last night while moderating on Twitch that slope can also be a slur. I was boggled, but the other mods enlightened me. The comment that triggered it was fine though, no slur intended

supple terrace
#

Uh, how is that a slur?

rain mortar
#

I'll message you

tardy anchor
#

news to me as well! if u can, pls enlighten me?

#

i want to be on guard for usage in that way in the future, ty

rain mortar
#

Sure thing

supple terrace
#

... I gotta admit, that's a queer one for it.

tardy anchor
#

at the end of the day, though, detecting if someone has hateful intent is more important than how semsible the slur is lol so.

#

hopefully no one here will ever be like that and this will be a nonissue.

supple terrace
#

Agreed, I'm just going "Huh."

tardy anchor
#

mhm!!

rain mortar
#

My experience with moderating is that people who want to be in the community are great at following the rules and learning how to get along nicely. It's the randos that stumble in (especially when a stream is on Twitch front page) that require the most moderation

hexed hollow
#

That's what I find too

#

Sometimes regulars require a lot of moderating too from my experience

rain mortar
#

We don't get that too much with our channel, but I can see how that might be a thing depending on the community and the situation

hexed hollow
#

Let's just say this regular has been a problem for a while, and now it's dealt with :3

supple terrace
#

It really depends, because sometimes people will cause drama if they think they are wronged.

hexed hollow
#

The ocassional insta ban copy pasta happens now and again usually from accounts 10 minutes old

rain mortar
#

Yup

hexed hollow
#

It's at least 1 a night atm

zinc karma
#

oh wow

#

most of the servers i'm in are small, so they don't have posting access in channels until they introduce themselves + get roles assigned
but that's unwieldy w larger servers 😅

rain mortar
#

For a while Twitch had a huge problem with bots/hijacked accounts posting malicious links, but that's been dealt with thankfully

hexed hollow
#

That sometimes still happens

rain mortar
#

Oh, we're talking about Twitch (or at least I am)

hexed hollow
#

I'm talking about twitch too

rain mortar
#

Discord moderation for the same channel I Twitch mod for is even more lax since it's sub/Patreon only

hexed hollow
#

None of the discord channels i mod for are sub only, but they're mostly chill :3

#

And so it turns out modding 3 channels at once is hard klinkLUL

rain mortar
#

No doubt! I can hardly keep up with just being active in SG and the one I mod for. I'm in a bunch of others but mostly have them muted or they are not super active

hexed hollow
#

Mostly because their stream times almost always overlap

zinc karma
#

oof

#

Kadgar/multitwitch is a godsent though :3

rain mortar
#

I don't envy your commitment, Aggy!

#

I need to reheat dinner at some point, probably after tabletop is done.

#

But it's leftover mashed potatoes and leftover sour cream chicken tenders.

rain mortar
#

Sounds delightful! I had some green curry chicken and the usual rice for dinner

#

What is the tabletop to which you refer, by the way?

supple terrace
#

It's a game of Legend of Five Rings played by chat on Discord.

rain mortar
#

Ah, cool! Sounds like fun

supple terrace
#

My character did a dumb a while ago, attempted a mercy kill on basically the embodiment of time and fate and so we ended up in another timeline.

rain mortar
#

Mmmm, yes, time is the enemy

supple terrace
#

Note, the embodiment of time had reincarnated as his three older sisters which affected him.

rain mortar
#

Dastardly!

supple terrace
#

That was an unintended side effect, the real fun is they had accidentally eaten his fate as a baby.

rain mortar
#

Don't they know that such foods are highly fatenning?

I get physics flashbacks every time I look at greek words

supple terrace
#

Heh.

#

And the lunch today was good. I picked up veggie rice, geso age, lotus root, and green tea from the deli yesterday and heated it up at work.

hasty kernel
#

The flashbacks are further amplified because for some reason weve got electronics in our comp sci class

#

And I hate it so much

stiff lotus
#

honestly it's weird that greek leters are used in physics

#

maybe I'm ignorant tho

upbeat scroll
#

They ran out of regular letters

#

@hot edge i have bought a thing on that site, and it worked quite nicely

hasty kernel
#

Its not that weird, really

#

Its tradition

#

The basics of physics and mathematics came to us through ancient greece

#

We just kept some of their methods

north hamlet
#

Also people in past had were like weebs for ancient greece and rome

#

So any tribute to them was super in fashion

hasty kernel
#

A lot still are tbh

hot edge
#

@north hamlet Ooohh, great, just like buying anything else, like on Amazon?, does they charge extra for the shipping?

#

(Thanks, by the way!)

hasty kernel
#

I mean tbh, Rome was kind of awesome

#

For its time, anyway

north hamlet
#

They are based in Hong Kong

hasty kernel
#

It also was kind of horrific, but you know, times were different and all that

north hamlet
#

The shipping was crazy expensive for me but i live in aus so that's normal

#

For it's time Rome was a pretty sweet place to live

#

Except if you were Jewish in the later periods i guess

hot edge
#

Lol. Alright, do they ship everything from Asia?

north hamlet
#

I believe so

hasty kernel
#

Or a slave

north hamlet
#

Or a lady too

hasty kernel
#

But Rome had some marvelous technological advancements

#

That one depends actually, some rich ladies were well off

north hamlet
#

This is also true

hasty kernel
#

They couldnt vote or hold political positions

north hamlet
#

They puppet instead

hasty kernel
#

But matriarchs of rich families had incredible influence

north hamlet
#

A lot had massive influence from absurdly large inheritances

#

I think there was a time when the landed ladies were a huge political force

hasty kernel
#

Yup

north hamlet
#

Romans were also pretty chill about divorce

hasty kernel
#

Plus, beyond the patriarch of the family, the men didnt have a higher status

north hamlet
#

Which was neat and handy and also invented the evil stepmother

hasty kernel
#

Merely the ability to be involved in politics

#

Hell, there were female lawyers back then

#

Unimaginable just a few hundred years ago

#

Then the whole thing came tumbling down, and we fell into darker times

unreal bridge
hasty kernel
#

Well then, tried out Hyper Light Drifter, got a fatal error 4 minutes after playing by hitting a crate youre supposed to hit

#

And apparently it crashes there every time

#

And now it crashes on enemies

#

Welp, guess I cant play it, ah well

hexed hollow
#

Nuuuuu :(

hasty kernel
#

Tbh, I didnt like the sound design much anyway, so I doubt I would have played it much longer either way

hexed hollow
#

It's very mimimalist

#

Which isn't for everyone

#

But it suits the game imo

hasty kernel
#

I suppose, it just kind of made my head hurt a little

#

But yeah, too many fatal errors and I cant progress, so its not like I had a choice

hexed hollow
#

A few of the sounds are suuuper loud in the game, there's 5 instances at least I can think of where it happens

hasty kernel
#

I might just get a regular, non-action JRPG

#

Theyre not bad, even if I think action RPGs are stronger

hexed hollow
#

What are you thinking of getting?

hasty kernel
#

Trails of Cold Steel or Resonance of Fate

#

Thought about one of the Ys too, or maybe Tokyo Xanadu, but idk

hexed hollow
#

Oooh nice ^_^

#

Throw all those game names in a hat and pick one out, that might work out well

hasty kernel
#

Ill probably flip a coin, on account of not having a hat

#

While waiting for the new game+ and postgame episode of Crosscode

hexed hollow
#

That's also a good option ^_^

#

A bowl can also be a good substitute for a hat 😉

north hamlet
#

A bag will always do

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah, God Eater 3 is releasing in 5 days

#

And my PC cant run it

#

Guess HZD wont be completed for another year

stiff lotus
#

sound design in hld is super interesting

hasty kernel
#

I mean I can appreciate its concept while disliking it myself

stiff lotus
#

some of the music is impressionist-like

#

they were going somewhere with it

hasty kernel
#

I do wonder why I got so many fatal errors so quickly though

#

Cant imagine thats normal

stiff lotus
#

some more analysis

#

yeah, def not normal

#

shame you can't play it. even if you don't like the music the game is pretty good

#

music with no count sounds so weird

hasty kernel
#

The gameplay did look decent enough

#

But really, Ive got too many games on my backlog as well as games I might want to play for me to bother with bugs and errors

#

Should upgrade my PC though, its getting to the point where even low end games cant run on it

stiff lotus
#

I don't think you're unable to run it

#

my rig is pretty bad but I had no issues playing hld

#

probably some specific issue

hasty kernel
#

Oh no, I meant more stuff like GE3, Mankind Divided

#

FFXV for the DLC and changes added in the royal edition

#

Technically even considered Anthem

stiff lotus
#

yeah, I doubt I'd be able to run anthem

sharp grail
#

heyyyy, mika

I don't watch him regularly but whenever I do, it's quality

lusty yacht
#

Thanks reported the bug.

#

But I'm just wondering if it's recurring to other players

#

My bug was that when I get the epic boon and then get to the pom of power after the boon becomes epic quality

#

is that happening to you guys as well?

#

I meant losing the epic quality after I get the pom of power

sharp grail
#

is the boon Hunter Dash by any chance?

lusty yacht
#

yes!

That's only an issue with Hunter Dash! It's a known bug and should be fixed in the upcoming major patch ^^

#

So you have places making japanese chinese fried chicken

Huh, I wasn't aware of that.

But it sort of explains how you can just... toss kaarage in sauce and call it sweet and sour, you know?

hexed hollow

Yeah, that makes sense

But yeah, the marinade was a test to help get rid of the stuff.

I'll take the silence as a no

serene tulip
#

I wish I could get the anime MMO experience.

#

Specifically: few enough players that you know a lot of them. legendary players, people still actually feeling like heroes instead of literally every PC being a overpowered hero, a mostly player-run economy, not everyone crowded around the same 3 NPCs who are the only useful ones in town, no spamming LFG stuff or sales

#

I feel like, surprisingly, the closest you get to that is EVE, which is super awkward given that its a libertarian hellscape(and has too many people)

wicked flicker
#

Unfortunately it is less profitable to make mmos that require a significant enough amount of skill to complete end game content that most players can't, and even less profitable to actually reward that in such a way that makes people care about it

#

You need an underclass to have heroes

serene tulip
#

yeah, it'd be super difficult to make an MMO that's rewarding for such a playerbase with the necessary diverse interest

wicked flicker
#

And people don't like being part of an underclass

serene tulip
#

You just have to make options in that "Underclass" that are interesting

#

You have the people who like to go out and kill monsters, cool, then you have the people that enjoy the challenge of farming and stuff, also cool.

#

its just to make a game that's rewarding for all the types of people necessary for that to work you'd have to flesh out everything whereas most MMOs only flesh out one and a half directions

hasty kernel
#

I mean the bigger problem is that MMORPG is a self-contradictory genre

lofty carbon
#

LOL @ EVE being a libertarian hellscape.

#

Because it's so true.

#

I screwed around with that a little with a friend. He was in a pirate hunting company that would pick fights with lower mid-tier people. And it was a pretty fun time. It's just kind of an impenetrable game starting cold.

#

But for that anime MMO experience, you either need content generation at a very high rate, or some sort of media / wiki blackout so that information isn't available.

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah I forgot I was going to write some more about it

#

But Basically, MMORPG tries to combine 2 seperate things that simply dont mesh together

lofty carbon
#

MMO and RPG? 😃

hasty kernel
#

The RPG and the MMO part, which is why inevitably, endgame is just instanced stuff anyway, open world ends up being irrelevant (because its unbalanceable), and the world feels more like a setpiece than a world

#

Yes

#

Im sure if I didnt think itd be a massive waste of time I could write a whole essay on it

#

The truth is that the anime MMO experience cant happen because it requires people to care about playing a game they see a tiny fraction of

lofty carbon
#

Yeah. I think some games have done a better job at making PVP interesting and impactful. Like the RVR stuff in DAoC.

hasty kernel
#

Which itself requires that tiny fraction to somehow have the same level of enjoyment and polish as a whole game

#

GW2 is the best MMO because it actually kind of goes away from the RPG element

#

You hit cap pretty quickly, and once you got the best gear, youre set

#

Youll never get anything better

lofty carbon
#

So it's more like FPSs now where you just hit level cap and you've got everything and it's just skill.

hasty kernel
#

Kinda?

#

Its more that your goals become driven by whatever you want them to be

#

And as a result, that pressure that funnels people into a small number of instances just goes away

#

You can do any number of things depending on what you want

#

It makes the world feel more alive

zinc karma
#

i had a lot of fun playing gw2 alone honestly

hasty kernel
#

Its not perfect by any means, but its better than what other games have to offer

#

Yeah same

zinc karma
#

but also w friends

#

but just the exploring part was fun

hasty kernel
#

I still solo everything except guild missions

#

Never found anyone to reliably play with

zinc karma
#

i did eventually run out of stuff to do tho, there's only so many clothes you want to collect before you start staring at your wallet going "whoops"

hasty kernel
#

Which is odd, Im usually a sociable person, but somehow despite GW2 being a social game, it never clicked

zinc karma
#

but i used to play gw2 a lot xD

#

there's not much fun group stuff to do, probably

hasty kernel
#

There is

#

Its more that I never got into raiding

#

And the guild Im in is basically a family guild and me being the lone outsider

zinc karma
#

ig i mean more like, the group stuff feels a bit lacking in comparison to the stuff you can just do on your own like goof off and find a cave and suddenly it's a jumping puzzle

hasty kernel
#

Theyre nice people, but theyre quite casual

#

True

zinc karma
#

i would have quit sooner if i didn't find an rp guild

hasty kernel
#

Roleplaying was never my thing, so I didnt have that

zinc karma
#

like the guild missions are fun
but they get boring and they're basically impossible with smaller guilds

hasty kernel
#

I still want to get into raiding at some point

#

But first, gotta clean out some of my backlog and get those damn exams over with

zinc karma
#

raiding is also slightly frustrating bc gw2's lack of defined roles just made a different sort of community meta at the time

hasty kernel
#

PvP in GW2 was fun tbh

#

Oh nowadays the roles are fairly well defined

zinc karma
#

that's good, i played when it first came out and then for a few years

hasty kernel
#

Ah, makes sense

zinc karma
#

but before it was basically like "well...... we like projectile reflection"

hasty kernel
#

The Elementalist Dark Ages

zinc karma
#

"and high damage"

#

😂

hasty kernel
#

Where every group was 4+ Elementalists

#

Was the same with raids for a while, 6+ Elementalists (usually 8) per raid

#

Now its more even

zinc karma
#

more like a bamillion zerker warriors a mesmer and a guardian

#

😂

#

the mega dark ages

hasty kernel
#

Ok thats waaay back

#

Like first couple of months

zinc karma
#

yeah that's when I was playing LOL

#

first couple years

#

few years? i don't remember

#

scarlet hadn't blown everything up yet that's all i remember lol

hasty kernel
#

Anyway, there were 2 theories I considered when it came to make MMOs more like the idealized version

#

The first was to have the "goal" be to uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization as a community (making it a lot more freeform and less focused on getting stronger, plus fixing the problem of hundreds of "the chosen one")

#

That one has some issues logistically though, and its unclear how well that would catch on

#

The other one was to have a group of developers act as the villains of the story

#

Making the whole thing feel more alive, and also making the content feel more fresh by virtue of constantly changing

zinc karma
#

those sound fun! i probably wouldn't enjoy them bc i feel like i'd have to sink a lot of time into them for it to be entertaining, instead of just picking it up at my own pace

#

but the concepts are neat

#

i liked the personal customization of gw2 professions and stuff, like you cuold play your preferred weapon combos and... is it called traits, i don't even remember it's been so long xD
but i think after a few years, not having anyone to do fractals with got boring bc i had nothing to do except pvp which i don't enjoy (and i did try it for a while, i was that bored after world completion XD), and it was way too uncertain how long things would take bc you didn't time out w instanced content iirc (maybe they changed it by now tho?)

hasty kernel
#

That was the issue I saw with both

zinc karma
#

but i also started getting annoyed at living story bc it felt like i always had to log on just to see things

hasty kernel
#

If you quit or take a break, for whatever reason

zinc karma
#

it was a fun concept but it just didn't work when i had like, a life to do things in xD

hasty kernel
#

Why would you return? Why would a new player start?

#

I have no answers to either of those questions

#

Maybe Ill think about it and come up with a theoretical solution at some point

#

Who knows

#

Actually I did have a note for the second one, which was to have small campaigns that last a month or two

zinc karma
#

so i like ffxiv better even tho the single player world exploration stuff isn't nearly as fun for me as gw2 was
bc i can just put it down and come back whenever stuff gets added, at whatever pace i want, aside from minor seasonal events that are just like, you get furniture and items and emotes or whatever that don't affect gameplay (and if you really want them you can buy in the store a year later)

hasty kernel
#

So if you sit out a campaign, you can just enter the next one

#

Oh thats what GW2 is like now

zinc karma
#

do they still have living story things?

hasty kernel
#

A friend of mine quit for a year, came back, and he basically didnt miss anything

#

Sort of

#

Theyre just instanced story missions and permanent new maps now

zinc karma
#

yeah i haven't played for a long time, i basically quit gw2 and started playing ffxiv instead ahaha

hasty kernel
#

If you log in while they are active

zinc karma
#

ahh ok

hasty kernel
#

You can play them whenever you want

#

If you dont, you have to buy them from the store I think?

zinc karma
#

im glad they added some of the living story bosses to fractals at one point tho bc the ... magma guys or whatever were actually pretty fun xD

hasty kernel
#

I tried FFXIV

zinc karma
#

i liked that first living story boss fight 😂

hasty kernel
#

But its expensive

#

And good lord the gameplay is dull

zinc karma
#

yeah i don't reocmmend ffxiv to ppl who won't play it a lot

#

bc pricey

#

but i enjoy it bc i enjoy the raid content
if you don't like group combat you probably won't enjoy ffxiv ahaha

#

since that's one of the bigger things that keeps getting more stuff

#

there's not as much fun solo stuff as gw2 had

#

world isn't as fun to explore

hasty kernel
#

For me its just the gameplay

#

So much waiting

#

Even Ninja felt sluggish

zinc karma
#

i forget that's a thing XD /plays healer

#

man the queues are so much better nowadays tho

#

i remember when levelling bard i was waiting for a dungeon queue for like 50min? i just levelled fishing at the same time XD

#

but that was years ago now queues are only like, 15min or smth

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah, while were on the topic, here is a bold prediction:

#

VR MMOs will be a gimmick people will be sick of within a couple of years, and then will be ignored for a long time/forever

zinc karma
#

i haven't played ffxiv in a couple years so im gonna try and get back into it before the next expansion

#

i get motion sick so i don't thikn i'll ever be into VR xD

hasty kernel
#

Oh and I remembered, I had a third unfinished concept for fixing the MMO issue

zinc karma
#

other ppl can have fun w that i'll pass 😂

hasty kernel
#

Which is to let players create content

#

I think I meant giving them basic tools to create encounters, and a way to create an everchanging story to play through

#

Hey there a lot of technically capable dudes here right? Anyone have a really great list of parts & such to make my own gaming rig from the ground up?

north hamlet
#

Before you get any recommendations you should probably decide on a budget first

tropic garden
#

yeah, "really great" usually means "$$$$"

north hamlet
#

Since how great great is will depend on when your dollars stop being worth

rain mortar
#

It's a year and a half old now, but my reasonably good "gaming" PC (not top-of-the-line, but still capable of playing pretty much anything at reasonably good settings) cost me $2500 Canadian, which included a new case, and did not include any peripherals. Not sure what the current prices are like on hardware compared to then, though

#

If you're looking for a benchmark price

north hamlet
#

Mine is similarly old, about 2k aud, runs most games at maximum settings

#

If you're fine with pretty good, as opposed to world's best then $2000 in canada or aus or whatever is a decent start

rain mortar
#

If you don't need a new case, power supply, and hard drive (can be taken from old computer if they're in good shape and meet the requirements of your new components) then you can save a fair bit there, too

north hamlet
#

Prices should've dropped a little now though so you can probably do better than us

rain mortar
#

Likewise with optical drive

north hamlet
#

Also a lot of the newer higher end stuff is only marginally better since they're built for tech that nobody uses yet

rustic orchid
#

Well I'm being told that price is no issue so fire away @north hamlet

#

its a kind of... work/gift/weird situation at the least really I need part specs more than anything

#

I live in Pakistan so I don't know if I'll get 100% every part that's listed by anyone but if I can I'll try to look for things with similar specs

#

my cousin knows a wholesaler

#

so that's probably why

north hamlet
#

If you're not that familiar with putting pcs together your first step should be finding an expert to help out

#

I'm not spectacularly familiar with building them and having someone to help you out in person is great

#

You also want to think about the size of your case too

#

That will change what kind of things you can fit in there and how it'll work with desk or floor space and where all the external cables will go

rustic orchid
#

I might know somebody

#

and I think I could get fairly big cases

#

actually I probably know quite a FEW people who could make a PC online through discord

#

its just the parts I need really

north hamlet
#

Coolio

#

You can't ask them for parts lists?

#

Do think about the type of games you play as well

rustic orchid
#

Honestly I play alot of things which is why I'm going to MAXIMUM IMPACT

#

basically the 2019 equivalent of Can it play Crisis think stuff like Devil May Cry, Warframe, Vanquish, Bayonetta, DOOM etc etc.

#

well I can ask them for lists but they themselves are very computer illiterate. My family that is my friends I'm asking but they're offline and/or busy

#

So yeah I essentially need more power... to coin a phrase. :P

#

a PC that could literally play anything & everything at max settings if possible

#

.....sooo where should I start exactly?

north hamlet
#

A 2080 for a gpu?

hexed hollow
#

That depends on your budget

rain mortar
#

Supposedly budget is no concern, they've said

north hamlet
#

No guarantees for maximum goodness but it's the newest one i can think of

#

And supports future tech

#

Neither space or money is an issue

hexed hollow
#

I didn't see that

north hamlet
#

On a basic level the parts are power, motherboard, cpu, ram, gpu, storage

#

An ssd for the OS is good practice

#

Makes for a nice fast boot

rustic orchid
#

yeah plus also the uh.. there's also compatibility issues between parts right? Like not everything will work with everything cause of the ports & such no?

north hamlet
#

You'd have to check to make sure everything can plug into the motherboard

#

Maybe pick that first and then pick parts that fit in that

#

Most things should work with a good one though

#

But some things like ssds will have different plug in styles and shapes and such

rustic orchid
#

well if I can get a list then that would help speed this up I think..

north hamlet
#

So make sure it's not the wrong one

rustic orchid
#

just so I can get a general base line

#

I guess I better just keep asking around for people who make them more often

north hamlet
#

You should

hexed hollow
#

You should ^_^

north hamlet
#

The basic 7-odd components is a good starting place

#

Plus extra fancy cooling for extra power

rain mortar
#

All you really need to know for compatibility is to make sure your motherboard socket matches your CPU socket, that it has the correct PCIe port for your video card (especially with the larger ones), and the your PSU has enough power and the matching connections for your video card. The requirements are usually listed fairly obviously in the part descriptions/part names

north hamlet
#

Just remembered this is a thing

#

The parts lists for all of the builds can be viewed here

hasty kernel
#

Yikes, 2000$ for a PC

#

Even in Euros thats 1.3k

hexed hollow
#

It's worth it in the long term

hasty kernel
#

Im not sure about that

north hamlet
#

It'll last at least 3 years, 5 if I'm lucky and changing individual parts makes upgrades way cheaper

#

This is my biggest hobby so it's pretty worth to me

#

$2000 isn't even that much as far as rigs go

#

Although even 1000 is enough for something nice

analog spear
#

You can get a 1050 and play modern games if you’re fine with less then max settings, and just upgrade your card down the road when they inevitably bet cheaper

hexed hollow
#

$2000 is quite mid-range for rig costs
You can very easily spend much much more if you want top end stuff

hasty kernel
#

Thing is, thats only worth if you regularly play top end games, and also dont have any other way to play them

hexed hollow
#

And you have to consider things in aus cost more for a variety of reasons

#

Moslty relating to the population being considerably smaller than everywhere else in the world

analog spear
#

I played games on a 7 year old thinkpad, so I can say from experience: never underestimate min settings shadesmile

hasty kernel
#

Im also not a big fan of max settings

#

Im too used to medium-low settings

analog spear
#

“It’s too real I can’t focus on the game” -me after I got the 1050

hasty kernel
#

Something like that

#

Honestly, most of the games I want to play that I cant I can just play on the PS4 Ive got

#

Yeesh, why do I even play card games

#

Ive gone through half my deck three times in a row, not seeing even 1 of the 12 cards I need to see to win

#

The odds of that are like 1 in a couple million

analog spear
#

Which game?

hasty kernel
#

Eternal

#

To be fair, Im playing bad jank

#

But still

analog spear
#

Hm never heard of it is it good?

hasty kernel
#

Yeah

#

Its basically MTG if the land system was less stupid and if mistakes like UW control didnt exist

#

Ironically control is still massively overrepresented, but they at least are interactive

north hamlet
#

Tbf i also haven't bought a console for 2 generations so all that money can be funnelled into the pc

analog spear
#

I’m not too happy with the state of most consoles these days

#

Just turning into PCs with different exclusives

#

Except for Nintendo, but even they have paid online now

hasty kernel
#

I bought consoles for exclusives pretty much

#

And honestly, they are just cheaper

analog spear
#

But not of you use online

#

Bc that 60/50 a month adds up quick

hasty kernel
#

True, but the only games I want to play online are ones that I can play on my PC

#

Uh

#

Its 60 for a year

analog spear
#

Year* my bad

#

That would be ridiculous

hasty kernel
#

Yes, yes it would be

#

But yeah, I only need top-end stuff for offline games

#

Might as well use a PS4 for that

analog spear
#

My main justification for the high initial price of my pc was that it would make upgrades in the future cheaper, but I haven’t seen a need to ever upgrade yet

#

Going to try and hold out for as long as I can

hasty kernel
#

Yeah that was the idea I had a while back

#

But then I considered how many games Id actually want that come out now

#

Mostly online games, and those tend to have lower requirements on average

heaven will be mine is a visual novel about piloting mecha in space and flirting with the enemy

Its kind of low budget for a JRPG, and the plot is fairly slow so far

Visual novels break it down into character speech though dont they

it's still tons of reading

hwbm is VERY wordy i had trouble with that

its best to start with saturn

i also played solstice recently which is like, mostly broken into dialogue? but still exhausted me

oeeee my backlog is. bad but tbf most of my games on steam i have gotten for free

I mean I have a backlog mainly because of free games I get here and there

ive been actually playing stuff a lot more recently

Whether thats "when my PC doesnt suck" or "When I get around to it"

i bought hwbm and gris this sale because i plan to play them immediately

The only reason I have a backlog is cus of games like sts and hades where you cant complete them and i just play those instead of other games that I wanna play

Doesnt help that I spend most of my free time playing stuff like League and Eternal

#

warframe hours

hasty kernel
#

Boring as hell enemy design

sharp grail
#

im lucky i prefer short indies to open world popular games tho. can you imagine if my backlog was like..... rdr2 hzd and the witcher 3 etc? i would die instantly

stiff lotus
#

scram normies, it's real warframe hours

frank hornet
#

I get bored with games like skyrim tbh

cedar rock
#

warframe has a really nice story but its a shame you gotta grind through half the solar system to get there

frank hornet
#

Ive been really enjoying ni no kuni 2 though

stiff lotus
#

yeah madcar. early game isn't that bad tho. you have some purpose you get through it

elfin umbra
#

warframe has a really nice story but unless youve been there since the beginning you'll get some if not most plot points in the wrong order

sharp grail
hasty kernel
#

I mean open world games are hit or miss

sharp grail
#

open world games are scary

hasty kernel
#

For example Witcher 3 has a nice setting and scenery

elfin umbra
#

oh i dont know if you want my steam

hasty kernel
#

But the combat is dull as hell

elfin umbra
#

my profile is something

frank hornet
#

Is warframe a bit overwhelming? I stopped playing before dogs and wings were added and its only gonna get more content

elfin umbra
#

uh yes it's a bit overwhelming at the start

stiff lotus
#

it's giga overwhelming

hasty kernel
#

Anthem looks like it could be Warframe but with actual enemy design

stiff lotus
#

mind if I add you alma?

hasty kernel
#

Buuuut its 60$ and my PC cant run it

elfin umbra
#

you have to figure a lot of things out and whether this is more important than that etc

#

once thiis is done you can have fun

sharp grail
#

go ahead! its why i linked it squirtyay

stiff lotus
#

elfin umbra
stiff lotus
#

hasty kernel
#

I love how poetic "I will face God and walk backwards into Hell" sounds

elfin umbra
#

hasty kernel
#

Then you find out its from a dumb tumblr post

sharp grail
#

elfin umbra
#

hasty kernel
#

Oh crap youre right

elfin umbra
#

stiff lotus
#

#

frank hornet
#

People should show up in your sidebar for friends

elfin umbra
#

community > home > find people search bar

frank hornet
#

@hasty kernel what's your steam? Only if u wanna share ofc!

hasty kernel
#

Good question, let me see

#

And also let me see if there is anything embarassing that I need to clear out first

stiff lotus
#

I know you've been playing hatoful boyfriend but it's alright

#

I respect you

frank hornet
#

Imma have to make a hades discord category on my friends list

sharp grail
#

i tried so much to like hatoful boyfriend but i could not

cedar rock
sharp grail
#

maybe i need to get more endings to like it

elfin umbra
#

i guess you hate oful boyfriend

sharp grail
#

im not giving up on my bird love yet

hasty kernel
#

Only that one time a friend of mine got hacked

#

Cleared it out though

sharp grail
#

actually i do have a mild fear of birds or anything fairly large that can fly

hasty kernel
#

Wait

#

Im silly

frank hornet
#

hasty kernel
#

Im pretty sure my account is set private

#

Is it not?

frank hornet
#

we can still send requests

#

hasty kernel
#

And yes the profile picture is so perfect

#

I havent changed it in many, many years

#

This is the context, not that you need it

stiff lotus
#

frank hornet
#

Icathios im gonna have to politely ask you to carry on'nt

elfin umbra
#

i cant say kin because i'd feel horrible but i deeply relate to garfield and thats why he's my steam pfp

sharp grail
#

dfjgkhdkj

elfin umbra
#

stiff lotus
#

c'est la vien't

#

ok I'll cease now

hasty kernel
#

Dont you mean ceasn'tn't

sharp grail
#

i know garfield is sort of a malevolent meme now but that pic is nice.....

frank hornet
#

The only french I know is from year 6 (age 10,11) and lady marmalade from moulin rouge

stiff lotus
#

now you've donen't it uno

hasty kernel
#

As a proper german

#

It is my sworn duty to not know any french

stiff lotus
#

why does that sound so funny

frank hornet
#

As a proper englishman it is my duty to not know any language and complain when they dont speak english when I go abroad

#

heck

stiff lotus
#

tbh I feel like france is like an island of its own. bit isolated from the rest of the world

hasty kernel
#

I mean the french arent so bad

stiff lotus
#

same kaf. not an englishman tho

hasty kernel
#

Their food is awful outside of sweets, and they are still stuck up and pretentious

#

But they have really good animation

frank hornet
#

I looove french accents

#

Idk y

pastel phoenix
#

@frank hornet why the change? Do not all Englishmen duel with swords? 😛

stiff lotus
#

french and italian folks are pricks tho, language wise

#

I'll duel you with my s word

hasty kernel
#

Spinach?

frank hornet
#

@pastel phoenix only when one has slapped another with a glove to initiate said duel

sharp grail
#

@elfin umbra i just realized we have the same steam background

elfin umbra
#

WE DO??

hasty kernel
#

Ok now Ill say something highly controversial

#

Cheese, outside of Mozzarella, sucks

sharp grail
#

I. I THINK SO?

#

its the sundered ability shrine one

stiff lotus
#

why would you say something so brave

elfin umbra
#

WE DO JSDFHSJG

frank hornet
#

I think cheese is overrated

#

But

stiff lotus
#

yet so WRONG

frank hornet
#

Chedder is pretty good

stiff lotus
#

holy heck. extremely bad takes, take cover folks

frank hornet
#

Brie and camembert too

#

Chedder cheese cubes and pineapple are divine don't @ me

stiff lotus
#

yall need some feta cheese

cedar rock
#

im baffled

hasty kernel
#

Here is the problem with cheese

#

Its very unhealthy

frank hornet
#

IFORGOT ABOUT FETA

cedar rock
#

well thats just all dairy

frank hornet
#

Feta is good

hasty kernel
#

Which would be fine if most of it didnt taste like what the inside of my socks smells like

frank hornet
#

With olives too

cedar rock
#

except yogurt

hasty kernel
#

Ok Feta is acceptable

cedar rock
#

LISTEN its an acquired taste

elfin umbra
#

feta is good

hasty kernel
#

Eh its not quite my thing

stiff lotus
#

I actually didn't expect such unanimous opinions on feta

frank hornet
#

@stiff lotus opinion on goats cheese

hasty kernel
#

But Feta is good foodstuff, yes

#

But regular cheese

frank hornet
#

I dislike it apart from feta

hasty kernel
#

And especially french cheese

#

Is bad

elfin umbra
#

raclette cheese

pastel phoenix
#

@frank hornet I swear I have a pic for this. Trying to dig it up

frank hornet
#

Im excited

hasty kernel
#

Exceptions are when its baked over something

stiff lotus
#

goat products are much healthier in general. goat cheese is alright

hasty kernel
#

And even then Im pretty sure its only one specific kind of cheese

sharp grail
#

i dont like the more adventurous and advanced cheeses, but i think stuff like mozzarella and cheddar and stuff are really good. in general, i eat way too much dairy

frank hornet
#

Has any1 here tried and liked a deep fried mars bar

hasty kernel
#

I dont think anyone is scottish here

frank hornet
#

Ive never had one but they look disgusten

elfin umbra
#

think before you speak such things into my imagination pwease,

hasty kernel
#

Now, while were on this subject

#

I present the official, objective listing of european cuisines

frank hornet
#

@elfin umbra ive seen much worse deep fried shadegrief

cedar rock
#

im on a low carb diet rn and fats are all i have left that taste good so cheese is like ALL i eat nowadays

stiff lotus
#

understandably, greek is #1

hasty kernel
#

Italian>Spanish=German=Greek=Croatian>British=Swiss=Belgian>>>>>French

frank hornet
#

Greek side dishes maybe

hasty kernel
#

Nah, Italian is

elfin umbra
#

switch french with british and i'm reasonably ok with that

cedar rock
#

sorry but mediterranean food is the best food

stiff lotus
#

dude. I've lived in an italian house for half a month. it's just pasta

faint panther
#

i'm more concerned that europe now has like 9 countries according to that ranking

stiff lotus
#

like literally pasta on top of pasta

elfin umbra
#

dsfjhsdjgf

frank hornet
#

What are you all saying, what even is British cuisine? Like bangers nd mash?

sharp grail
#

as a person who eats just pasta, i think its valid

frank hornet
#

What's the consensus on indian btw?

elfin umbra
#

british cuisine is just strange puddles of various shapes and tastes

sharp grail
#

lately ive been OBSESSED with. rice with potatoes tho

stiff lotus
#

what? britain has no cusine you mad lads

cedar rock
#

indian is good!

hasty kernel
#

The other countries are myths

faint panther
#

as a polish person

elfin umbra
#

look im european but indian cuisine is far superior

hasty kernel
#

Nah I just havent eaten enough from the other countries to rank them

faint panther
#

you're right

hasty kernel
#

Except Austrian

#

But Austrian is basically german

sharp grail
#

every time i get to eat rice with potatoes i black out and a ravenous hunger just takes over me, uncontrollably consuming all that is on my plate

hasty kernel
#

Also why would you ever switch french and british

frank hornet
#

Japanese is veryyy good if you havent had that

hasty kernel
#

British food is pretty good

#

French is not

#

Unless were talking sweets

faint panther
#

what is british food

cedar rock
#

im jealous alma, i want a plate full of carbs to monch

hasty kernel
#

Basic stuff

stiff lotus
#

now read what alma said in hades' narrator voice

frank hornet
#

British food is just take away from other cultures

cedar rock
#

the day im off this diet i am eating bread for a week straight

hasty kernel
#

Shepherds pie, steak and ale pie, fish n chips

elfin umbra
#

hasty kernel
#

Nah Im not counting the imported food, Im talking stuff like that

sharp grail
#

elfin umbra
#

rain mortar
#

hasty kernel
#

Only german food has more Sauerkraut

sharp grail
#

stiff lotus
#

cedar rock
#
