the rites will come to bear
mulaninate the stars
the exiles shalll beeeeee there
@hasty kernel I managed to land on the moon and I'm kinda disappointed that it didn't have all the answers on it
solanum is a jerk
a cryptic jerk
Hot take: a final fantasy movie played just as seriously as detective Pikachu
Also rated r plz
advent children was technically serious, just kind of messed up
the pacing was all over the place and looked like 15 trailers glued together
Hire Makoto Shinkai to animate it.
And use two ounces of common sense and record the voice lines PRIOR to animation.
I read that a lot of anime studios will animate first.
Came across this when I was watching Pyre playthrough...totally amused =w= https://youtu.be/1diqEVmCRLQ
@serene tulip just to be sure, you tried all combinations, right?
Because you can even combine the shards that are of the same category
Anyway it has most of the answers on it
What it does not have, is something you find out elsewhere
my dog is drooling everywhere, sir i understand it’s hot but please
Im curious, given the recent birthdays of Bastion and Pyre, what would we consider Hades's birthday?
The final release, or the first early access
HMMMMMMM.... two parties sounds nice to me
one for entering the underworld, one for leaving
big fluff.......
i liked spirits within as well but i can understand why so many people forget it exists or refuse to acknowledge it, lmao
it may have "final fantasy" in the title but there's barely a connection
but we can thank it for some of the aesthetic choices in mass effect, apparently! :D
OK
NGL, the nostalgia critic is being super nitpicky
Look, man, if you're going to start criticising voice actors for not looking like themselves when they have iconic voices you're going to have to hate either archer or bob's burgers, because friggin' H. Jon Benjamin apparently has exactly one voice
hey, FFXIV folks, do you know how I'm suppsoed to get interject to work?
it has a super long wind up time and never seems to actually do anything
uhh is it a tank move bc i dunno
h jon benjamin does several voices though
he's the teacher with a smoking problem in bob's burgers iirc
RESTART YOUR DISCORD CLIENT, SERVER FOLDERS ARE HERE AT LAST
yooooo are they mobile?????
idk
I have exactly one folder
"Servers I sometimes want to ask questions in but don't hang out in"
Darn
I got really excited about folders sorry mods
Thank Freaking God
I have like 7 servers I’m in that r so dead but I don’t wanna leave
Mood
Yknow, I never really considered that the advancement in graphics would make it harder for me to play games
Yakuzas characters are rendered pretty realistic, which means I cant recognize them
@hasty kernel Outer Wilds Spoiler ||If I remove the Ash Twin's Warp Core and die, is it a game over?||
||Well yes, but actually no||
||You get a "you died" screen. But you can just continue retrying. You just have to start from the main menu IIRC||
Outer Wilds Spoilers: ||Note to self: The angler fish do not chase the probe, and have a persistant position in some of the locations, so if one, say, chases you out a seed node, it will still be RIGHT THERE when you get back.||
yep that happened to me once when i was getting lost there and ran smack into 3 of them waiting past the red portal
||Yup, but they do hear the sound of the probe launch. So uh, dont launch too closely to them||
||Anyway way I did it was find a path that works||
||they don't chase you in a suit, so I think I'm just going to suit it to the vessel||
||And just use momentum to carry you after you exit a portal, in particular in the red seed bit||
||They do, actually, if you accelerate||
||Also, now that I think about it, we never learned what Drak Bramble was, did we?||
||well its still easier to sneak past the 3 in the egg room :P||
Outer Wilds Spoilers: ||Also, I never got to go to sun station via a warp thing, is that right?||
||Well, no, you are supposed to warp there, its actually a lot easier than warping to the Ash Twin Project||
||yeah, I may have looked that one up >.>||
||yeah, I've been scared to use the warp towers because I've been operating under the impression that they're 1 way.||
||So I was like, "Don't want to lose my ship now do we||
||Yeah theyre not, but anyway, the sun warp tower is tricky||
||If you ever went there, you mightve noticed how Cacti block the way, and you cant exactly fly through them||
I can imagine this game would be fun to speedrun
since you don't have to discover everything to "win"
Counterpoint: ||Most of the time is spent waiting||
Rebuttal: ||Waiting is time that could be spent trying to find tricks and tech||
Not doable right now
Their may be discoveries in the future
Wind waker SD had barier skip found recently for example
Which was long thought to be impossible
A friend of mine is super excited because they did some research which helped shave like, 30 seconds off an 80 minute world record run
The issue is that its not a matter of barriers or such things
The zones you need to get to all dont exist in the same plane
Short of some kind of wrong warp, there is no way its ever doable
Outer Wilds Spoilers: ||Welp, I died when the ash twin project was deactivated so that's cool||
current world record is 16m56s
lol
and there's a lot of room for improvement
accidentally gets a gravity boost off the sun X'D
||Oh yeah, one fun thing you can do is wait in it until the sun blows up. You can see it activate and do its memory thing. Unfortunately, invisible barrier prevents you from going with it||
There's actually not a lot of waiting in this because ||he goes to dark bramble first, sets the coordinates in the ship, then goes back to ash twin.||
Wait so the little badges in Ace Attorney are real?
Also I can see now why people like the Yakuza games
Combat is fun and writing so far is stellar
in japan yes
Well yeah, thats what I meant
Thats adorable
If their justice system wasnt thoroughly messed up, that is
Like a plot point in Judgement, the game Im playing right now, is that a lawyer getting an acquittal is so rare, most lawyers have worked years without getting a single one
And a lawyer that does is a big deal
Apparently that part is real
ah man i think aviary attorney would be fun but it was introduced to me by commander holly's vids & now i feel it's almost stained somehow :/
well also i spoiled the whole first episode for myself anyways so
big oop
on that topic, i’m scared for ross’ upcoming mario maker 2 levels
i think game grumps are gonna go insane
HGHGHHG I Saw A Vid Abt That
i love ross but oh boy
that hour video of making it seems
intimidating
no one:
discord: breaks images
fax
hey at least they finally have folders thank Gog
truly the happiest day of my discord life
now i can hoard servers to my hearts content
oh ?
it just means u can group servers into folders
treats me well bc i have a bunch of pretty dead servers that i dont wanna leave but were taking up space on my side bar
Pretty sure it's for all platforms
just found a kh transistor au i’m very happy
In Judgement, you get bonus skill points for finding and looking at cats when investigating
This is officially a great game
And now my detective agency party knocked 3 people down with the most amazing flying dropkick
This is definitely a great game
Kh?
Kingdom Hearts
ohhhhh nice
also judgement sounds like it slapps tbh
w no context that,,, that sounds
So Powerful
Its a Yakuza game meets Ace Attorney
Its great
The action is hilariously over the top
One of the moves you can do when you grab someone
Is to slam them into a wall, then jump off of their head to roundhouse kick the guys behind you
Absolutely Ideal Amen
i cant even think of the original song anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpj0v0U4R0o
Its interesting that the third party dungeon you get you're putting down a slave rebellion
I thought we were the good guys
we are the de jure good guys
Equips hats with skulls
Are we the baddies
Ohhhh
👀
guys i have an egs question
i swear the free game used to change every 2 weeks and not 1
am i imagining things??
also now its 2 free games every week so like. wow theyre rlly stepping up their game huh
given the bad press they've had lately it makes sense for them to do this in order to some get good rep from people/games media
it wouldn't really cost them all that much money in the long term either if they get more users onto their platform
I imagine it's whenever they want to
Free moonlighter is amazing
Well, in this case its 2 games from the same dev studio IIRC?
Idk, Im just glad for free moonlighter
I need more 2d action-y games as reference for a future game
Also this War of Mine I guess
Not sure Ill play it, it seems too depressing
I didn't really like Moonlighter that much
so i watched the first 2 episodes of fire force
maki and iris are dating
no one can tell me otherwise
Incidentally there are no canonic couples in Fire Force so
You cannot be proven wrong
Also, how would you rate Maki
Yeah thats fair
Im just glad her muscles are more pronounced
She looks like a buff ex-soldier
Also prepare to be annoyed at the fanservice character
And yes, there is a character who is mostly there for fanservice
Basically like Mikan from DR2
there’s only 2 episodes on crunchyroll
i’m loving the art style
Mmh
Also I really like Hinawa
He is great
Unfortunately he is the only one where the translation from the manga isnt quite perfect
His eyes in the manga are more unsettling and fierce
he’s scary i kinda dig it
This is the dude who threw a clipboard so hard it pierced a wall
And only because Arthur is too stupid to be scared
Fun fact: Arthurs stupidity actually becomes a small plot point eventually
yeah same
Help
Someone suggested that the mogstation logo can be interpreted as you looking at a moogle from behind
and now I need an adult
You are an adult
It's not.
No wings, and the nose is still in front.
It's just the biggest roundest cheeks on a Moogle ever.
the moogle is dummy thicc enough that it hides the wings
Also Syd, have you ever seen World Trigger?
http://imgur.com/gallery/TYjY3 oh hey, I found Me_FFXIV
My anime list is "watch Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex a few more times before you die"
"maybe write a thesis on it"
i have 21 on my list that i haven’t watched
Mmh
I have 3
Theyre all very long though
And last time I watched one was uh
.... 2017?
Other than the 2 I watch every week
i’m also rewatching fairy tail bc i finished the manga
and the urge to rewatch haikyuu because it’s my fav is very high
Oh thats the "not as bad as Naruto but still not good" shonen, right?
Have I mentioned how Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex is an amazing anime?
You have
imo fairy tail is barely a shounen
If you haven't, you should watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
As is Batou
Paz was also good in SAC
I loved Saito's backstory episode
Well yeah, he does
But thats a minor upgrade
Oh the one about his showdown with the Major?
Yeah'
Oof
my breakfast had more carbs than usual
and I can feel it
I might have to go for a jog or something
it's gonna be 93 out today :'(
😦
Engineers should just have a mass revolt to switch to SI units
40 degrees is hell
luckily it’s onlllyyy
only 25 rn!
i’d kill for it to be like this all the time
not yet
looks like it might which is unfortunate
bc im getting dinner w my friends
it’s gonna be gross sticky rain tho
rain in the heat just makes everything humid
I like warm rains
sitting outside in a warm rain with a good beer is like, a great time for me
I don't like cold rain
or rain when I need to bike places
biking in the rain is unfun
I hate biking so
I used to hate biking
Then I moved to a place where having a car really wasn't necessary
and then I hated parking tickets and car insurance payments more than biking
Look for me its just
Any method of faster than walking transportation that isnt trains and trams
I hate
biking is fun but biking in nyc seems terrifying to me haha
Either its on rails or I hate it
I mean, I take trains and busses for a lot
but bikes are great for things that are annoying for that
or things that are like, just outside of walking distance and just within efficinet bussing distance
i wish anerica had good public transportation :'(
Other than it being crowded, oakland/berkeley/san francisco all have good public transportation
Denver's was OK
Chicago's was pretty good for what little I used of it
new york also was pretty good
my friends want to go to a restaurant tonight
but its like, terrible for all forms of non-car transportation
and I'm sad
i honestly don't like sf's transit system haha
it doesn't even run past 11pm or something, which SUCKS when you're there for gdc
and the bart site was very not helpful for planning my route to the city when i was in the bay area one summer
like literally the most confusing thing. i had like three friends look it over with me, and they struggled with the map even though they like...actually live in the bay area haha
Yeah
ny's has its problems, but it gets me where i need to be
bart could definitely b less confusing
but google maps has honestly done a good job of helping me navigate it
Busses I dont like
Mainly because to get to Uni, I have a 50 minutes bus drive
Which makes me nauseous
i've never really used the nyc buses, but apparently the fancier ones that cost a bit more are really nice here
i mostly just take the subway or go on foot
Trains, however, are great
Never ridden a train before 😯
Yknow, its easy to forget that there are nations where trains arent like a constant thing in a lot of peoples lifes
trains are so good, i miss trains
i was studying in berlin last summer and it's like wow... you can actually go places
So, do I try a new MMO
Or the game where a former yakuza turned senior detective did the most amazing flying dropkick against 3 enemies
Yakuza definitely
Probably the right choice
I wonder what Yakuzas think of the games
Ryuji, what are you doing in a Yakuza game
This dude is just saying for real like mad
There was an interview of real Japanese yakuza’s opinion on the game yakuza
Where. I want to see
Jake Adelstein, a fearless Jewish-American reporter who spent 12 years as a crime reporter in Japan, was joined by high-ranking gangster bosses to conduct an experiment for Boing Boing: evaluate the credibility of Sega's Yakuza 3 video game. — Lisa Katayama
I LOVE that interview, definitely the best overview of a game I've ever read. 😄
Same, i love that one
That's the funnest way of fixing problems
TFW a DPS decides that you're pulling too slowly and just runs straight ahead for like, 6 rooms
Did they die?
I would be too
A bat just flew into my room and terrified me
it didn't touch you at all did it?
No it didnt
The ones here fly pretty high so i don't imagine they'd fly into homes that often
No idea
I didnt know bats lived around here period
It just flew above my head, left to right in my room
Til my mom got it out
Look Im sure theyre cute when still and calm
Not when theyre flying above me like a bloody predator
We have some cool owls and birds around where I live, but nothing like bats
Although we do get coyotes
Unfortunately
coyotes are the worst
Yea never truly safe for pets
Look at those big eyes and floofyness
That’s so cute!
I'm almost at level 35 =\
good luck
I think you can still play, you just don't level
but what would be the point D:
There's still a bunch of content and you can run around and explore?
yeah, you can be every class on a single character
But... Why would I want to?
why wouldn't you want to play all of them??
like, i'm fascinated to know what you think the downside to this is.
i feel like it's worth pointing out that the other classes (well, the ones you can access in the free trial) start back at level 1, it's not like you'd be unlocking a class you couldn't level
:/
i mean, i'm not going to say you're wrong, but i'm still not seeing the point of having ten classes available to you but you refuse to play nine of them
well it didn't sound like you were
I mean, I guess the thing is, not everyone wants to play all of them?
sorry 😛
i am given ten cakes. i eat one and taste the frosting on another. i throw away the other eight.
i felt the same way at first oce
but like ,, it really is worth it
none of the cakes are rhubarb cake
Why would I eat it
ovven,,,, i dont think anyone actually asked
I mean, how much do the various classes change in the way they're played and how they function in comparison to other classes in their roles?
oh, they change a LOT
The important thing is that all the cakes are potentially not rhubarb, until you put them in your mouth
sparrows trying to explain something u don’t gotta make it harder for them
i'm guessing this means you haven't touched, say, pugilist, or arcanist, or thaumaturge
thaumaturge is fun
thaumaturge is basically world of warcraft's arcane mage but way more active, and i love it
all black mages know is be bisexual and eat hot chip and lie
that makes black mage sound tempting
i can't wait to level it up into black mage and see where it goes
what does, the mage comparison or the hot chip and lie thing kjfghfjgh
ok then
thancred rlly be like: all i know is be bisexual, eat hot chip and lie
Hot ... chip?
yes
thaumaturge revolves around two casting phases - umbral ice and astral fire. in umbral ice you regain mp really fast, but do less damage, and in astral fire you do a load of damage but it draisn your mp really fast
so you have to cycle between the two
i'm not explaining it very well but it's really fun to play around with
i end up usually having to main heal my blm friend because
she just stands there and zones out while switching
yes
listen from what i know of blm gameplay, moving out of aoes is for other people who don't do sick dps
djbrrbsjjw
if you have to move you have to stop casting and that is unacceptable
that’s how you also play dragoon apparently
no you play dragoon by floortanking
All Im getting is some old band
when you play dragoon it’s compulsory to die
that's why dragoon-specific stuff has more armour. you gotta tank the floor.
Im surprised that its Dragoons and not Ninjas that have this stereotype
also guys can we celebrate for me because i’m getting a nintendo switch for £100,,, b rUh
nice!
oh sick
the only ffxiv stereotypes i know are - dragoons die constantly, black mages refuse to move ever, gunbreakers really like stressing out their healers, and blue mages are a walking talking meme
Their Switch version isnt out yet >.>
superbolide
yup
i have a vague awareness of these things from twitter friends who play
i hate it it hurts my soul
what does it do?
i cast lustrate 0.2 seconds before superbolide gets cast
i end up using all my aetherflow charges on healing them back up :(
so it makes your healer panic because they then have to spam heal you back to full
or, well, back to comfortable levels, whatever that may be
is there like, a breakdown someplace of each class/job and how they work?
There were youtube videos when I tried
hmmm...... i don't know any that are up to date with shadowbringers off the top of my head
Going through rotations and basic skills
I usually try to avoid youtubue videos because they're always so slow
i mostly just pulled a ryan haywood and learned by doing
Written guides I dont know about
larryzaur is funny
i dunno if he’s up to date with shb yet tho i think he only finished it recently
honestly, the game does a fairly decent explanation of how stuff works at least at a low level
I pretty much always up the speed on every youtube video just so it gets to the point faster
Is there like a raid benchmark guild for FFXIV?
i think as you get higher levelled you'd want to look up guides but at low levels it'd be fine
benchmark guild?
Well Im not sure Im describing it perfectly
But basically a guild that has raid benchmarks and guides up
Yknow, what the top DPS
Is
What you should pick on what encounter
That kinda stuff
Builds, buffs, comps, everything
What would you call it?
I know FFXIV logs exists which gives you the raw data
i wish i could help u out there
I know Wildstar had it, TERA had something like that and GW2 has it
Something like this, basically
Its more narrow than full build guides, but it gives you an idea of what the class/job/profession looks like when optimized
yeah i get what you mean
i don’t really uhh search for things like that ;; so i can’t help you
Also wow Ninja is that low as a DPS now? What happened
i'm sure stuff like that does exist but so far as i know, the only 'parser' ffxiv has is technically against the tou iirc
or something like that
IIRC they dont care if you have or use them
So long as you dont talk about them ingame
So harassing someone for low DPS
something liek that, yeah
Would get you banned
But yeah, that would be something I wouldve suggested but I cant find such a thing
And I asked a friend who plays FFXIV, he doesnt know one either
Oh and apparently ninja just has low personal DPS and lost some of its support capabilities, so its only good in super-coordinated raids
i mean it probably also helps that ffxiv doesn't have 'builds' as such
Doesnt it?
it's not like world of warcraft with talent systems and whatnot
One of the reason's I'm not too keen on leveling up all the things is that if I'm going to buy the full game I want to switch to an Au Ra
there is no such thing as a super coordinated raid
Im sure there must be "hardcore" PvE guilds
24 ffxiv players and awful mechanics where one person can wipe all 24 people????
you can get a fantasia potion that will let you change your character up but they cost a little bit (you get a free one at the end of the realm reborn questline)
screw Bazelgeuse
i regret using my fantasia for the purposes i used it for
but yeah that's valid i guess, i'm going to be making an au ra as an alt once i shell out for the full game
my tall dark and broody dragon boy 
Basil goose, b25, Beetlejuice!
and nergigante is also a jerk
au’ra lore is so cool
nerg has jank hitboxes yea
I think the one thing I cant quite get used to as far as Yakuza is concerned
Is the mood whiplash
I also personally hated legiana
also stormblood au ra stuff is the peak of stormblood
i like the au ra but i wish there wasn't such a stark difference in height between the ladies and dudes
I just went from beating up guys where me and my buddy jumped off of an enemy, flew past each other, and dropkicked each others enemy
because sb. haha sucks
yeah
To a really heavy and moody scene
I wanna tol girl
Like damn
especially frustrating because the move with janky hitboxes one shots you most of the time
i wish there was a cheaper way to skip sb because. really there’s no point
and heavensward is brilliant
i like the horns, i just wish they weren't tied to face options
true
I played insect glaive for the leg fight so idk if its difficult for most weapons
I'm an SNS folk
I play charge blade now
im interested in sns just because of the ability to use items
yesssss the glowy limbal rings are sooo good
congratulations you guessed where the name comes from
I was waiting for that

only 100,000 MGP
you could say im an auracul
you can buy it on the market board too
what is MGP?
and one of the tomestone traders sells horns
manderville gold points?
they’re from the golden saucer
the gambling place
you can only buy them with gil up to a certain limit, the rest you gotta earn with the golden saucer's minigames
one time i got 30,000 mgp in a day
i was really lucky
i wish triple triad gave more mgp because then i’d play it
also the rules are dumb sometimes
honestly i went there to unlock it, grabbed all the aethernet points, and i haven’t been back since
i got other stuff to do!
the actual mini games aren’t worth it
mini cactpot, jumbo cactpot and maybe triple triad
make it worth it
yknow there’s something i’m wondering about now though
i know the bunny outfits are supposed to be like playboy bunnies or whatever, but with shb bringing in the viera
are they basically cosplaying viera.
square enix didn’t think that far ahead
don’t expose them
i want male viera but i don’t like the people who keep bugging square abt it
can you imagine how tiny male miqo’te must feel around the hrothgar
“i’m you but stronger”
LMAO
there’s a scene where a hrothgar picks up a miqo woman
it’s like he’s carrying a baby
i cant show you because it might be spoilers
it’s ok
it’s real cute tho
with how good shadowbringers is, i wish stormblood was as good
because i would have been so much more excited
i just about died when raubahn picked, uh, whatsername, the sultana of ul’dah up onto his arm
she perch
nanamo!!!
that’s the one
she’s the best
i find it hard to remember most of the lalafell names
Tataru?
the only ones i ever remember off the top of my head is papalymo and tataru
nanamo tataru and 2 more
I can only remember tataru because of Tartarus
the pattern for their names makes them all kinda blend together after a while
Oh yeah, do the hitboxes change with the tal and smol races?
Headcanon: Lalafells have a massive aura of smugness that hurts them if it gets hit
it’s harder to click on a lalafell but that works against you lmao
I mean they do when it comes to right clicking on things 😛
I mean, AoEs kinda work off of hitboxes
So thats where it would be relevant
i dun think so in ffxiv
if you stand in it you get hit, if you move out in time you don’t
i need to sort out my ui properly so i can switch between dps, tank and healing layouts
Well yeah, the question is what is "stand in it"
there’s been an bunch of times where i’ve accidentally not moved out quickly enough
i like how ffxiv shows you exactly where it’ll land
Does the center of you have to be in the AoE?
there’s a big yellow circle
Or just the edge of you
unovven i think you overestimate how big the player models are
imagine if xiv was turn based ,,, i’m sorry that’s just a dark thought that came to me
in any case i tend to judge by whether my feet were in the orange area or not
hasn’t failed me so far
oh! my blm friend played wakfu and dofus
So Lalafels tiny feet mean they have to move less than Hrothgars massive soles
i am terribly guilty of “okay, ill finish this cast and THEN move”
I only played Wakfu, and even that a little
Mainly because it was confusing
I reached level 20 or so
And had no idea where to go
and then i get hit and im like 
And since its mainly a french game
the way i move out of aoes i just end up moving down
But I will quit a game before I ever interact with french
The language, not the people
Screw french
Ruined latin
so far the worst to dodge has been ifrit’s nonsense in the bowl of embers
just wait for the heavensward dungeon bosses
because it’s he only aoe i’ve come across so far that isn’t clearly marked
i figure it’s the kind of thing you get better at with experience
so far ifrit has been the only thing that's teamwhiped me
"I am tank, I deal literally no damage. Plz kill nail"
"I am tank, I cannot press button because I'm being attacked, but you need to press the button to summon the blasting caps"
yeah that’s because for arr stuff people follow the “ignore the adds” rule
it doesn’t help that the last boss in copperbell and satasha, you just ignore whatever else spawns and attack the boss
oh people love spawning the blasting caps in my parties
the unfortunate part is that they also like killing the blasting cap
I swear to god that I spent like, 5 minutes waiting for someone to do it and trying myself
“please don’t kill the blasting cap. please. guys stop. it needs to explode on its own. gUYS”
once i got yelled at in spanish because my healing spell didn’t heal enough and the pills were too big for me on my first run
luckily most people i’ve grouped with get the point the first time around
pulls *
(you could just edit?)
im@on mobile
fair enough
I feel like I need to keep a deeps class up to date just so I can do the dungeon first on deeps
editing is hard T_T
Yeah editting on mobile is dumb
i want to play it but my computer makes jet engine sounds whenever i try
i’m on holiday next week and then my friend is on holiday the two eeeks after i come back
i need to upgrade like....... everything
SAME
I don't need to upgrade anything but I want to
i have to force my poor pc to run at good graphics for ffxiv
i’m on standard how do you think i feel
this computer is 3 years old, but I also had a much better paying job at the time
Wait you can run FFXIV with it?
so its actually pretty good right now
My 750 struggled with it
at 12 frames per second
Ah
which is fine, i’m not fussy
i cant afford to upgrade my pc
But upgrading my PC is such a drag, ya feel?
i can afford it i just don’t know what i need
I think there is a subreddit where you can ask around
i’m gonna cry when ff7r comes out because i hate playing on playstation
Step 1: go find the most ridiculous build on /r/pcmasterrace
I happen to know some hardware experts
and my pc can not handle ff remakes
i’m in the unfortunate position of having a dad who has pc knowledge but not gaming knowledge and a brother who is the opposite
I've built a few PCs so if you have any questions feel free to ask
for work and play
One is usually a software guy, but he keeps his rig up to date all the time
but arguably its been 3 years since I built my last pc so 🤷🏾
And has like state of the art VR setup
Im kinda envious
Anyway, I know I basically have to swap literally everything
Motherboard is too old to support any better CPU
And new motherboard means new PSU
yeah
And my GPU is out of date as well
I can keep my RAM at least, but even that needs to be increased
honestly at this point i’d be better off just getting a new pc but. hhhh.
And building it all is just
Ugh
I dont like the thought of it
Id buy a prebuilt one even though I know its pricier
But its a lot of money for the kinda rig thatll last me a while
For now I just get by by playing any new game on my PS4 streamed to the PC
But Stealth and Shooter games kinda suck on console
my pc needs a sound card too
i cant use a microphone with it
i. do not have a microphone and that is the most upsetting part of my life
So I guess you cant voice your concerns, eh?
i cannot
when i play w my 3 friends it’s awful
because i’m in chat like
“ethan please attempt to keep aggro on yourself”
and then someone dies because i’m having to type and play
Yeah I can feel you on that
I didnt have a mic for the longest time
I still am not big on it, my headsets keep breaking
i have a mic
but. my pc doesn’t pick it up
i plug it in, it detects it
no noise
i’ve tried multiple microphones
Have you tried checking the settings?
I vaguely remembering having to mess with them when setting up my mic
Ask someone to come over and have a look?
A lawyer in this Yakuza game just did the Phoenix Wright objection
Right after a long and dark scene about all sorts of things going to crap
I love this game but why all this mood whiplash
ehhh
Next immideate quote: "Did you just yell Objection for the fun of it?"
it’s not really worth it i don’t think
when ethan learns to tank i won’t need a mic >:(
But how can you voice your god complex that you develop as a healer then?
i need you to know my voice is like a tiny anime girl
it’s impossible to voice my god complex
If you have a mic you should get use out of it
decoration?
If it's detected but not working it could be that it's not set as the default device to use
i’ve played with that
You just said your voice is like a tiny anime girl
How would that make it impossible to voice your god complex?
If anything, that makes it mandatory
Could also be that the input volume is too low
🇫
Can you make a screenshot of the device properties?
Perhaps the mic is slightly broken so it gets detected but doesn't actually work
Unless it's new
multiple mics?
Actually wait, that wont help
It could also be driver problems
i haven’t turned my pc on in 3 days
lol
also i have to pull out the actual pc to plug my mic in
last time it was on it was at 45 degrees celsius
and i was slow cooking in my room
so i’m giving it a break
Get teamviewer or something and let uno troubleshoot for you 😛
Yeah having a pc that hot in summer would suck
my pcs gotten many blue screens before don’t worry
That's the real problem right there
the “uh oh we had a problem” blue screen
No airflow is why you roast
Yeah i have screens to keep them out
Dont you have blinds?
I'd say get some netting and tape it to the window frame
Or fine cloth of some kind
Budget bug screen
meh i could just perish
Aight I'll press f for you
F
I wouldn't recomend that in aus
i have a window open rn
Or you get aircon, but that's expensive
Ok fair enough
Mosquitos will eat you alive
i don’t think we have bug screens here if i’m honest
Or apply repellent to yourself religiously
i’ve never seen one
probably
They're moderately common here, but most places don't have em
welcome to the uk
god i wish bug screens were a thing here syd
Which is weird they're really handy
they’d be really useful
They're more common the further out of the city you get
Yknow, its surprising, a bunch of bad things happening to the MC didnt get me angry in Judgement yet
Some random NPC dissing spinach however?
Hoo boy
I wish I could beat him up
i feel like if i see one more itty bitty pair of wings flitting about my room i’ll cry
You could see if there's people who make fitted screens and install them, or just tape fine cloth to the window
this heatwave and britain’s insulated houses are so bad
god
Is it a heatwave or is it just summer weather
it’s a heatwave
i’m really lucky i have french doors in my living room that lead out to the garden
we recently broke the record for hottest uk day in july
How hot?
we broke it???? hhh
Dang that's pretty bad
it’s been less severe up north, the highest i’ve seen is 26c at noon
We broke the record for hottest day ever in germany
Then we broke it again the very next day
42.6°C
yikes

so yeah it’s a wee bit warm in europe at the minute
it’s gonna be cooler on my holiday than in london and i’m mad
Same
the really killer part is the humidity
Like, the fact that the sentence
yep
because with high humidity, sweat stops working
Same here, the humidity is the worst
Is a big oof
OH while we’re here i found a dead hornet in my garden the other day
i nearly cried it was massive
i mean i found a dead seagull on my porch roof a couple days ago
I found a partially skeletonised rat in the backyard once
Oh
i think i win this particular point lmao
We also get the occasional flattened roadkill and bats dying on powerlines here
oh, we get roadkill all the time. squished hedgehogs and the like.
I mean I found a dead cat once 😦
anyway
This has gotten morbid fast
let’s not have an entire conversation about dead animals, shall we
Yeah
humidity sucks because in order for sweat to do its job it has to be able to evaporate
and if there’s already a load of water in the air, it can’t
Personally I hate the heat more
so you just sweat and get miserable and can’t cool down
The heat isn't a problem at all
heat is a lot easier to deal with in drier conditions
Water is more conductive than air
again, because sweat can do its job
it’s not the actual act of sweating that cools you down but the sweat itself evaporating from your skin and taking heat with it
i mean i would take cold over hot any day
i can put on more clothes. i cannot take off more clothes than i am currently wearing at a given time.
Same, got the same reasons
once ou have no blankets where do you go from there
Electric fan?
Cryochamber?
Ice packs?
i was speaking rhetorically ._.
my last experience with a cryochamber didn’t end well
... you have one?
now i’m searching for my son
yeah last time i got in a cryochamber my spouse got shot and a stranger stole my son
dang it syd you beat me to the joke
~\(≧▽≦)/~
ohhhhhh it’s raining and i just got a nice big flash and rumble of thunder
-w- rain at last
just gonna lie here and enjoy the rain sounds while it lasts
i Love the sound of rain
if you wanna get real specific, then rain on a window, or a similarly thin surface
I prefer rain on asphalt
maaaaybe with some low rumbly thunder but nothing too sudden
